Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage processing tools, in particular to a triggering mechanism of a homogenizer. Background Art

[0002] Homogenizers are often used in beverage processing. For example, ice cubes or smoothies need to be added to beverages such as milk tea. In this case, the ice cubes or smoothies need to be stirred evenly so that the ice cube or smoothie substances are evenly distributed, thus completing the production of desserts. For example, ice cubes are added to a cup filled with milk, and the ice cubes are broken by stirring to make a milkshake. The produced desserts are generally contained in cups. When the cup is placed in the appropriate position, the homogenizer needs to be triggered to work for stirring. The triggering mechanisms of existing homogenizers often set the triggering mechanism behind the cup holder on the homogenizer for hanging the cup. When the cup is hung on the cup holder, the cup rim touches the triggering mechanism, and thus a trigger signal is sent through the triggering mechanism. The homogenizer receives the trigger signal and starts the stirring component, and the stirring component stirs the items in the cup to complete the beverage production. The structural design of this triggering mechanism means that it can only be applied to cups with cup rims. For cups without cup rims, since there is no cup rim, the cup cannot be hung on the cup holder, and thus cannot touch the triggering mechanism, and naturally cannot start the homogenizer to work. Such a triggering mechanism has limited application scenarios and low user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a triggering mechanism of a homogenizer, which can solve the problems described in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of the utility model is: a triggering mechanism of a homogenizer, which is applied to the homogenizer. The homogenizer includes a homogenizer head and a homogenizer body. The homogenizer head is fixedly installed at the top of the homogenizer body, and at least a part of the homogenizer head is exposed on one side of the homogenizer body. The triggering mechanism is installed on the homogenizer body and is located below one end of the homogenizer head exposed on one side of the homogenizer body.

[0005] The triggering mechanism includes a cup holder assembly and a triggering assembly. The cup holder assembly is fixedly or detachably installed on the homogenizer body. The triggering mechanism is fixedly or detachably installed on the homogenizer body, and one end of the triggering mechanism passes through the cup holder assembly and is exposed outside the cup holder assembly. The cup holder assembly is used to hang the cup with a cup rim on the cup holder assembly. When the cup with a cup rim is in a hanging state, the cup is hung on the homogenizer. When the cup with a cup rim is in a hanging state, the cup touches one end of the triggering assembly exposed outside the cup holder assembly.

[0006] For cups without cup rims, under the action of an external force, the cup is allowed to touch one end of the triggering assembly exposed outside the cup holder assembly.

[0007] Further, the cup holder assembly includes a cup holder base, a cup holder plate and a cup holder. The cup holder base is installed on the outer wall of one side of the homogenizer body. The cup holder plate is connected to the cup holder base. The cup holder is installed on the cup holder plate. A first space is formed at an interval between the upper end of the cup holder and the upper end of the cup holder base. When a cup is hung on the cup holder, the cup rim of the cup can be received in the first space. A perforation is provided on each of the cup holder base, the cup holder plate and the cup holder. One end of the triggering mechanism sequentially passes through the cup holder base, the cup holder plate and the cup holder and is exposed outside the cup holder.

[0008] Further, the base is fixedly or detachably installed on the outer wall of one side of the homogenizer body. The cup holder plate is detachably connected to the cup holder base. The cup holder is fixedly or detachably installed on the cup holder plate.

[0009] Further, the cup holder is an arc-shaped bending structure, and the bending convex direction faces the homogenizer body.

[0010] Further, a plurality of positioning grooves are dug on the cup holder base, and the positioning grooves are arranged in parallel at intervals. On the end face of the cup holder plate facing the cup holder base, a corresponding number of positioning ribs are provided. The positioning ribs protrude towards the cup holder base. The positioning grooves and the positioning ribs correspond one by one, and the positioning bosses can be snapped into the positioning grooves, so as to snap the cup holder plate on the cup holder base.

[0011] Further, the positioning grooves are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0012] Further, the positioning grooves are replaced by positioning through holes.

[0013] Further, the triggering assembly includes a microswitch, a contact, a return spring, a bracket, a copper sleeve and a shaft retaining ring. The bracket is installed on the homogenizer body. The microswitch is installed on the bracket. One end of the contact is spaced from or in contact with the triggering end of the microswitch. The spaced distance between one end of the contact and the triggering end is denoted as the first distance. The return spring is sleeved on the contact. A collar is fixedly sleeved on the contact, and the collar protrudes from the contact. The two ends of the return spring respectively abut against the collar and the bracket. The bracket is located on the non-triggering end side of the microswitch. The other end of the contact passes through the copper sleeve and then sequentially passes through the cup holder base, the cup holder plate and the cup holder and is exposed outside the cup holder.

[0014] Further, the bracket is fixedly or detachably installed on the homogenizer body. The microswitch is fixedly or detachably installed on the bracket.

[0015] Further, a bracket lock is further included. The bracket lock is fixed on the homogenizer body. The bracket lock and the bracket are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the microswitch. The bracket lock and the bracket are locked and connected together, so as to fix the microswitch between the bracket and the bracket lock and prevent the microswitch from being taken out casually.

Detailed Embodiment

[0021] The following further describes the present utility model in combination with the drawings and specific implementation schemes:

[0022] As Figures 1-3 shown, a triggering mechanism of a homogenizer is applied to the homogenizer. The homogenizer includes a homogenizer head 1 and a homogenizer body 4. The homogenizer head 1 is fixedly installed at the top of the homogenizer body 4. The homogenizer head 1 and the homogenizer body 4 can be an integral structure or separate components assembled together by connection. At least a part of the homogenizer is exposed on one side of the homogenizer body 4. The triggering mechanism is installed on the homogenizer body 4 and is located below one end of the homogenizer head 1 exposed on one side of the homogenizer body 4.

[0023] The triggering mechanism includes a cup holder 6 assembly and a triggering component. The cup holder 6 assembly is fixedly or detachably mounted on the body 4 of the homogenizer. The triggering mechanism is fixedly or detachably mounted on the body 4 of the homogenizer, and one end of the triggering mechanism passes through the cup holder 6 assembly and is exposed outside the cup holder 6 assembly. The cup holder 6 assembly is used to hang the cup 5 with a cup rim 51 on the cup holder 6 assembly, so as to hang the cup 5 on the homogenizer. When the cup 5 with a cup rim 51 is in a hanging state, the cup 5 touches the triggering component. Thus, the stirring component 14 of the homogenizer is allowed to stir the material (such as ice cubes) in the cup 5, and during the stirring process, there is no need for a person to hold the cup 5 by hand. The cup body (non-cup rim 51 part) of the cup 5 near the body 4 of the homogenizer touches one end of the triggering component exposed outside the cup holder 6 assembly, so that the triggering mechanism emits a triggering signal, and the stirring component 14 starts to rotate to perform the stirring work. If the cup 5 is a cup 5 without a cup rim 51, that is, without a cup rim 51, a person holds the cup 5 and approaches the body 4 of the homogenizer, so that the cup 5 touches one end of the triggering component exposed outside the cup holder 6 assembly, so that the triggering mechanism emits a triggering signal, and the stirring component 14 starts to rotate to perform the stirring work.

[0024] By fixing one end of the triggering component on the body 4 of the homogenizer and the other end passing through the cup holder 6 assembly and being exposed outside the cup holder 6 assembly, the cup 5 with or without a cup rim 51 can touch the triggering mechanism, with a wider range of application scenarios and a higher user experience. In addition, for the cup 5 with a cup rim 51, it can be hung on the body 4 of the homogenizer without the need for a person to hold it by hand, making the operation more convenient.

[0025] The cup holder 6 assembly includes a cup holder base 3, a cup holder plate 2 and a cup holder 6. The cup holder base 3 is fixedly or detachably mounted on the outer wall on one side of the body 4 of the homogenizer. The cup holder plate 2 is detachably connected to the cup holder base 3. The cup holder 6 is fixedly or detachably mounted on the cup holder plate 2. The cup holder plate 2 has a certain thickness, so that the upper end of the cup holder 6 is spaced from the upper end of the cup holder base 3 to form a first space. The first space is used for the cup rim 51 of the cup 5 to be accommodated in the first space when the cup 5 is hung on the cup holder 6. A perforation is provided on each of the cup holder base 3, the cup holder plate 2 and the cup holder 6. One end of the triggering mechanism passes through the cup holder base 3, the cup holder plate 2 and the cup holder 6 in sequence and is exposed outside the cup holder 6.

[0026] In order to better hang the cup 5, the cup holder 6 is an arc-shaped bending structure, and the bending convex direction faces the body 4 of the homogenizer. Since the cup 5 is usually circular or arc-shaped similar to a circle (such as an ellipse), setting the cup holder 6 with an arc-shaped bending structure can make the cup holder 6 better fit the cup body of the cup 5, increasing the stability when the cup 5 is hung on the cup holder 6.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of positioning grooves 31 are formed in the cup holder base 3. The positioning grooves 31 are arranged in parallel at intervals and are arranged in the vertical direction. The positioning grooves 31 can also be positioning through holes. On the end face of the cup holder plate 2 facing the cup holder base 3, a corresponding number of positioning ribs 21 are provided. The positioning ribs 21 protrude towards the cup holder base 3. The positioning grooves 31 and the positioning ribs 21 correspond to each other one by one. The positioning bosses can be snapped into the positioning grooves 31, thereby clamping the cup holder plate 2 on the cup holder base 3.

[0028] The trigger assembly includes a microswitch 10, a contact 12, a return spring 8, a bracket 9, a copper sleeve 13, and a shaft retaining ring 7. The bracket 9 is fixedly or detachably mounted on the homogenizer body 4, and the microswitch 10 is fixedly or detachably mounted on the bracket 9. One end of the contact 12 is spaced apart from or in contact with the trigger end of the microswitch 10. The spacing distance between one end of the contact 12 and the trigger end is denoted as the first distance. Without external force, one end of the contact 12 is in contact with the trigger end of the microswitch 10, and the contact 12 does not exert pressure on the trigger end, so the microswitch 10 will not be triggered. The return spring 8 is sleeved on the contact 12. A collar 121 is fixedly sleeved on the contact 12. The collar 121 protrudes from the contact 12. The two ends of the return spring 8 are respectively abutted against the collar 121 and the bracket 9. The bracket 9 is located on one side of the non-trigger end position of the microswitch 10. The return spring 8 is respectively abutted against the collar 121 and the homogenizer body 4. In the initial state, the return spring 8 is in a natural state, that is, in a state of neither stretching nor compressing. The other end of the contact 12 passes through the copper sleeve 13 and the shaft retaining ring 7 in sequence and then is exposed outside the cup holder 6 assembly. More specifically, the other end of the contact 12 passes through the shaft retaining ring 7, the copper sleeve 13, and then passes through the cup holder base 3, the cup holder plate 2, and the cup holder 6 in sequence and is exposed outside the cup holder 6.

[0029] When the cup 5 is hung on the cup holder 6, the body of the cup 5 touches the contact 12, and the contact 12 retracts inward by a certain distance, causing the return spring 8 to be in a compressed state. Before the cup 5 is removed (that is, the cup 5 is always in the state of being hung on the cup holder 6), the return spring 8 is always in a compressed state. The retraction distance > the first distance, so that the contact 12 is sufficient to exert pressure on the trigger end, thereby prompting the microswitch 10 to operate, and thus issuing an instruction that the stirring assembly 14 of the homogenizer needs to perform a stirring operation.

[0030] In an alternative embodiment, a bracket lock 11 is further included. The bracket lock 11 is fixed on the homogenizer body 4. The bracket lock 11 and the bracket 9 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the microswitch 10. The bracket lock 11 and the bracket 9 are fixedly connected together, thereby fixing the microswitch 10 on the bracket 9 and the bracket lock 11 to prevent the microswitch 10 from being taken out randomly.

[0031] Among them, the shaft wire snap ring 7 plays a role in protecting the contact 12, and the copper bushing 13 plays a smooth role to ensure that the contact 12 can move smoothly. Removing these two parts will not affect the operation of the contact 12 triggering the microswitch 10.

[0032] The utility model can meet the triggering of the homogenizer for stirring of the cup 5 with or without the cup rim 51, and can hang the cup 5 with the cup rim 51 on the homogenizer without manual holding of the cup 5. The operation is simple, the application scenario is broadened, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the user experience is high.

[0033] The embodiments disclosed in this specification are only an illustration of the unilateral features of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this embodiment, and any other functionally equivalent embodiments fall within the protection scope of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, various corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
