Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a feeding mechanism and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] In order to better meet users' demand for soy milk for breakfast and avoid spoilage caused by long-term soaking in water before cooking, some soymilk machines on the market are designed with a reservation function that can automatically complete the soymilk machine's feeding and cooking process according to the reservation time. The reservation soymilk machine mainly includes a cup body, a storage box, a feeding device and a crushing knife assembly. The feeding device is set on the storage box. When the reservation time comes, the soymilk machine starts working, driving the feeding device to open the feeding port of the storage box, thereby automatically feeding the cup body for the next step of cooking. However, the assembly of the storage box and feeding device of most reservation soymilk machines is relatively complicated, which is not convenient for users to disassemble and assemble for thorough cleaning. It is easy for food residues to accumulate in the material box and feeding device, causing hygiene problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a feeding mechanism and a food processor in view of the fact that the storage box and the feeding device of most pre-set soymilk machines are complicated to assemble, inconvenient for users to disassemble and assemble for thorough cleaning, and food residues are easily accumulated in the material box and the feeding device.

[0004] A feeding mechanism comprises: a silo, wherein the silo is provided with a storage cavity and a discharge port connected to the storage cavity; a rotating silo door, wherein one of the rotating silo door and the silo is provided with an arc guide rail, and the other of the rotating silo door and the silo is fixedly provided with a guide part, and the guide part is slidably engaged in the arc guide rail so that the rotating silo door can rotate relative to the silo and has at least a first position and a second position, when the rotating silo door is in the first position, the discharge port is closed, and when the rotating silo door is in the second position, the discharge port is opened; a driving blade, wherein the driving blade is provided on the rotating silo door, and the driving blade is configured to be able to drive the guide part to slide along the arc guide rail under the drive of water flow.

[0005] The present application provides a feeding mechanism, which is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail and a guide part on the rotating bin door and the hopper respectively, and the guide part is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped guide rail. When the guide part slides along the arc-shaped guide rail, the rotating bin door can rotate relative to the hopper to realize the opening and closing of the feeding port. The rotating bin door is also provided with a driving blade. When the feeding mechanism is installed on the food processor cup body and extends into the liquid storage chamber, the crushing blade rotates in the liquid storage chamber to form a vortex. The vortex will push the driving blade, thereby driving the rotating bin door to rotate to the second position so that the feeding port is opened to realize automatic feeding. In addition, by engaging the guide part with the arc-shaped guide rail, the guide part and the arc-shaped guide rail are correspondingly plugged in to realize the quick connection between the rotating bin door and the hopper. The operation is simple, which greatly facilitates the user to assemble and disassemble for thorough cleaning and avoids the accumulation of food residues in the gap between the hopper and the rotating bin door.

[0006] In one embodiment, the guide portion includes a column and an abutment portion, one end of the column is fixedly connected to one of the silo and the rotating silo door, the other end of the column passes through the arc-shaped guide rail and is connected to the abutment portion, and the end of the abutment portion close to the column abuts against the other of the silo and the rotating silo door. Specifically, the rotating silo door is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail, one end of the column extends from the silo through the arc-shaped guide rail and is connected to the abutment portion, with the cooperation of the column, the abutment portion and the arc-shaped guide rail, the column and the abutment portion will play a role of limiting support for the rotating silo door, ensuring that the guide portion can slide along the arc-shaped guide rail so that the rotating silo door can rotate relative to the silo while the rotating silo door is not easy to fall off.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the curved guide rail is recessed to form a clearance hole, which allows the abutment to pass through. The clearance hole makes it easier for the abutment to pass through the clearance hole than the curved guide rail. When installing the rotary door, the abutment can quickly pass through the clearance hole. The column then slides along the curved guide rail to move the abutment away from the clearance hole, thereby achieving rapid installation. When disassembling the rotary door, the column slides to the clearance hole, and the abutment can then leave through the clearance hole, achieving rapid disassembly.

[0008] In one embodiment, the sidewall protrusion of the arc-shaped guide rail is formed with an elastic limiting rib, at least a portion of which is located in the clearance hole. The elastic limiting rib is configured to be elastically deformed in a direction away from the clearance hole under the action of an external force. By adopting the above structure, a movable gear can be formed. When the user removes or installs the rotating door, the elastic limiting rib can be pulled away from the clearance hole to make way for the abutment portion so that the abutment portion can pass smoothly and realize quick installation and removal. When the rotating door is installed, the elastic limiting rib is reset. At least a portion of the elastic limiting rib is located in the clearance hole to form a stop, preventing the abutment portion from falling off through the clearance hole when the feeding mechanism is in use, thereby ensuring that the rotating door is securely installed.

[0009] In one embodiment, the clearance hole is located at the beginning and / or end of the arc-shaped guide rail along its own extension direction, which can reduce the influence of the clearance hole on the guide part, making the guide part slide more smoothly and the rotation of the rotary door smoother.

[0010] In one embodiment, the drop-out opening is located on the peripheral wall of the silo, and the rotating silo door includes a connecting seat and an arc-shaped baffle. The connecting seat is located below the silo, and one of the connecting seat and the silo is provided with the arc-shaped guide rail. The other of the connecting seat and the silo is fixedly provided with the guide portion. The arc-shaped baffle is provided on the connecting seat, and the arc-shaped baffle is provided along the outer side of the peripheral wall of the silo. The arc-shaped baffle is used to open or close the drop-out opening. By setting the drop-out opening on the peripheral wall of the silo, it is more convenient to expand the area of the drop-out opening and increase the feeding speed compared to setting it on the bottom wall of the silo. The rotating silo door includes a connecting seat and an arc-shaped baffle. The bottom of the silo is slidably connected to the connecting seat by the guide portion. When the guide portion slides along the arc-shaped guide rail, the connecting seat will drive the arc-shaped baffle to rotate relative to the silo, so that the drop-out opening can be opened or closed when the arc-shaped baffle moves around the peripheral wall of the silo.

[0011] In one embodiment, the bottom of the hopper is recessed inward to form a groove, the guide portion is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the groove, and the connecting seat cover is mounted on the opening of the groove. This structure makes the feeding mechanism more compact, reducing its overall size. Furthermore, the connecting cover is mounted on the opening of the groove, minimizing the exposure of the guide portion and achieving an integrated effect. Furthermore, the inclined bottom wall of the storage chamber can be formed to facilitate the sliding of beans or ingredients within the storage chamber, thereby saving materials.

[0012] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the storage chamber is tilted downward from the center toward the discharge port. This tilted bottom wall facilitates emptying the storage chamber of beans or ingredients. When the discharge port is opened, the beans or ingredients can naturally slide down under the action of gravity and be discharged through the discharge port.

[0013] In one embodiment, a rotating shaft is formed between one of the rotating door and the silo, and an axial hole is provided between the other of the rotating door and the silo. The rotating shaft is inserted into the axial hole, and the rotating door can rotate about the rotating shaft. The cooperation between the rotating shaft and the axial hole can help the rotating door maintain balance, so that the rotating door can rotate smoothly under the drive blade and is not prone to tipping.

[0014] In one embodiment, there are two feeding openings, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the silo, thereby further expanding the feeding area and increasing the feeding speed.

[0015] In one embodiment, the driving blade is vertically or obliquely arranged on the rotating door, so that the driving blade can be opposite to the flow direction of the water flow and can be better driven by the water flow to drive the rotating door to rotate.

[0016] In one embodiment, the number of the driving blades is at least two, and the at least two driving blades are spaced apart and distributed around the rotation axis of the connecting seat.

[0017] In one embodiment, the material hopper includes a hopper body and an outer shell, the hopper body being disposed within the outer shell. The hopper body is provided with the material storage cavity and the material discharge port. One of the rotating hopper door and the hopper body is provided with an arcuate guide rail, and the other of the rotating hopper door and the hopper body is provided with a guide portion. The outer shell is adapted to be mounted on the cup of a food processor. By adopting this structure, the hopper body can be quickly mounted on the food processor cup through the outer shell and can be stably placed above the liquid storage cavity.

[0018] In one embodiment, the projection of the drive blade toward the top wall of the outer shell is located between the chamber and the outer shell. The liquid in the food processor's liquid storage chamber forms a vortex under the rotation of the pulverizer blade, and the linear velocity of the water flow in the outer circle of the vortex is greater than the linear velocity of the water flow in the inner circle. By adopting this structure, the drive blade is located at the outer periphery of the rotating chamber door, making it easier for the water flow to drive the rotating chamber door to rotate. At the same time, the projection of the drive blade is between the chamber and the outer shell, so when the user installs and removes the feeding mechanism, there is no need to worry about the drive blade colliding with the main body, causing operational inconvenience.

[0019] In one embodiment, the hopper further includes a lid. A feed opening communicating with the storage chamber is provided on the top wall of the hopper, and the lid is removably mounted on the feed opening. Providing the feed opening at the top of the hopper facilitates user insertion of beans or ingredients, and the lid covers the feed opening, thereby reducing the risk of dust and other foreign matter entering the storage chamber.

[0020] In one embodiment, a sealing ring is further included, which is mounted on the outer wall of the outer shell and is used to seal the outer shell and the cup of the food processor. The provision of the sealing ring can improve the sealing of the connection between the outer shell and the food processor cup, thereby preventing the risk of the food processor tipping over or vortex flow generated in the liquid storage chamber during cooking, which may cause water to splash through the connection.

[0021] A second aspect of the present application provides a food processor.

[0022] A food processor comprises: a machine base; a cup body, the cup body being arranged on the machine base and provided with a liquid storage cavity; the above-mentioned feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism being detachably arranged on the cup body, at least part of the feeding mechanism being located at the upper part of the liquid storage cavity, and the storage cavity being connected to the liquid storage cavity through the drop-out port; a crushing knife, the crushing knife being rotatably arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity; a driving device, the driving device being arranged on the machine base, the output shaft of the driving device extending into the liquid storage cavity and being drive-connected to the crushing knife; a heating component, the heating component being arranged on the cup body, and the heating component being used to heat the liquid in the liquid storage cavity. The food processor provided in the second aspect of the present application adopts any of the aforementioned feeding mechanisms, wherein an arc-shaped guide rail and a guide portion are respectively provided on the rotating door and the material bin, and the guide portion is slidably engaged in the arc-shaped guide rail. When the crushing blade rotates in the liquid storage chamber to form a vortex, the vortex will drive the driving blade to drive the guide portion to slide along the arc-shaped guide rail, thereby driving the rotating door to rotate relative to the material bin to a second position so that the feeding port is opened to realize automatic feeding. In addition, the engaging engagement of the guide portion and the arc-shaped guide rail can also realize a quick connection between the rotating door and the material bin, greatly facilitating the user's assembly and disassembly for thorough cleaning and preventing food residue from accumulating in the gap between the material bin and the rotating door.

[0041] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0042] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] The feeding mechanism according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a feeding mechanism, including: a silo 1, the silo 1 is provided with a storage cavity 101 and a discharge port 102 connected to the storage cavity 101; a rotating silo door 2, one of the rotating silo door 2 and the silo 1 is provided with an arc guide rail 201, and the other of the rotating silo door 2 and the silo 1 is fixedly provided with a guide part 3, and the guide part 3 is slidably engaged in the arc guide rail 201, so that the rotating silo door 2 can rotate relative to the silo 1 and has at least a first position and a second position, when the rotating silo door 2 is in the first position, the discharge port 102 is closed, and when the rotating silo door 2 is in the second position, the discharge port 102 is opened; a driving blade 4, the driving blade 4 is provided on the rotating silo door 2, and the driving blade 4 is configured to be able to drive the guide part 3 to slide along the arc guide rail 201 under the drive of water flow.

[0045] The present application provides a feeding mechanism, which is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail 201 and a guide part 3 on the rotating bin door 2 and the material bin 1 respectively, and the guide part 3 is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped guide rail 201. When the guide part 3 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail 201, the rotating bin door 2 can rotate relative to the material bin 1 to open and close the feeding port 102. The rotating bin door 2 is also provided with a driving blade 4. When the feeding mechanism is installed on the food processor cup body and extends into the liquid storage chamber, the crushing blade rotates in the liquid storage chamber to form a vortex. The vortex will push the driving blade 4, thereby driving the rotating bin door 2 to rotate to the second position so that the feeding port 102 is opened to realize automatic feeding. In addition, by engaging the guide part 3 with the arc-shaped guide rail 201, the guide part 3 and the arc-shaped guide rail 201 are correspondingly plugged in to realize the quick connection between the rotating bin door 2 and the material bin 1. The operation is simple, which greatly facilitates the user to assemble and disassemble for thorough cleaning and avoids food residues from accumulating in the gap between the material bin 1 and the rotating bin door 2.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the guide portion 3 includes a column 31 and an abutment portion 32, one end of the column 31 is fixedly connected to one of the silo 1 and the rotating silo door 2, the other end of the column 31 passes through the arc-shaped guide rail 201 and is connected to the abutment portion 32, and the end of the abutment portion 32 close to the column 31 abuts against the other of the silo 1 and the rotating silo door 2. Specifically, the rotating silo door 2 is provided with a arc-shaped guide rail 201, one end of the column 31 extends from the silo 1 through the arc-shaped guide rail 201 and is connected to the abutment portion 32, under the cooperation of the column 31, the abutment portion 32 and the arc-shaped guide rail 201, the column 31 and the abutment portion 32 will play a role of limiting support for the rotating silo door 2, ensuring that the guide portion 3 can slide along the arc-shaped guide rail 201 so that the rotating silo door 2 can rotate relative to the silo 1 while the rotating silo door 2 is not easy to fall off.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the side wall of the arc-shaped guide rail 201 is recessed to form a clearance hole 202, and the clearance hole 202 allows the abutting portion 32 to pass through. By forming the clearance hole 202, the abutting portion 32 is easier to pass through the clearance hole 202 than the arc-shaped guide rail 201. When installing the rotary door 2, the abutting portion 32 can quickly pass through the clearance hole 202, and then the column 31 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail 201 to move the abutting portion 32 away from the clearance hole 202, thereby achieving rapid installation; when disassembling the rotary door 2, the column 31 slides to the clearance hole 202, and the abutting portion 32 can leave through the clearance hole 202 to achieve rapid disassembly.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the side wall protrusion of the arc guide rail 201 is formed with an elastic limiting rib 211, at least a portion of the elastic limiting rib 211 is located in the clearance hole 202, and the elastic limiting rib 211 is configured to be elastically deformed in a direction away from the clearance hole 202 under the action of an external force. By adopting the above structure, a movable gear can be formed. When the user removes or installs the rotating warehouse door 2, the elastic limiting rib 211 can be pulled away from the clearance hole 202 to make way for the abutment 32 so that the abutment 32 can pass smoothly and realize quick installation and removal. When the rotating warehouse door 2 is installed, the elastic limiting rib 211 is reset. At least a portion of the elastic limiting rib 211 is located in the clearance hole 202 to form a stopper to prevent the abutment 32 from falling off through the clearance hole 202 when the feeding mechanism is used, thereby ensuring that the rotating warehouse door 2 is securely installed.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further provides that the clearance holes 202 are located at the beginning and / or end of the arc-shaped guide rail 201 along its own extension direction. This can reduce the impact of the clearance holes 202 on the guide portion 3, making the guide portion 3 slide more smoothly and the rotating door 2 rotate more smoothly.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the blanking port 102 is located on the peripheral wall of the silo 1, the rotating silo door 2 includes a connecting seat 21 and an arc-shaped shielding plate 22, the connecting seat 21 is located below the silo 1, and one of the connecting seat 21 and the silo 1 is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail 201, and the other of the connecting seat 21 and the silo 1 is fixedly provided with a guide part 3, the arc-shaped shielding plate 22 is provided on the connecting seat 21, and the arc-shaped shielding plate 22 is provided along the outer side of the peripheral wall of the silo 1, and the arc-shaped shielding plate 22 is used to open or close the blanking port 102. By setting the blanking port 102 on the peripheral wall of the silo 1, it is more convenient to expand the area of the blanking port 102 and increase the feeding speed compared to setting it on the bottom wall of the silo 1. The rotating silo door 2 includes a connecting seat 21 and an arc-shaped baffle. The bottom of the silo 1 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 21 through a guide portion 3. When the guide portion 3 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail 201, the connecting seat 21 will drive the arc-shaped baffle 22 to rotate relative to the silo 1, so that the blanking port 102 can be opened or closed when the arc-shaped baffle 22 moves around the peripheral wall of the silo 1.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the bottom of the hopper 1 is recessed inward to form a groove 103, the guide portion 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the groove 103, and the connecting seat 21 covers the opening of the groove 103. This structure makes the feeding mechanism more compact, which helps reduce the overall volume. The connecting cover covers the opening of the groove 103, reducing the exposure of the guide portion 3 and achieving an integrated effect. Furthermore, the inclined bottom wall of the storage chamber 101 is formed to facilitate the sliding of beans or ingredients within the storage chamber 101, thereby achieving a material saving effect.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that the bottom wall of the storage chamber 101 is inclined downward from the center toward the discharge port 102. The inclined bottom wall facilitates the emptying of the beans or ingredients in the storage chamber 101. When the discharge port 102 is opened, the beans or ingredients can naturally slide down under the action of gravity and be discharged through the discharge port 102.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: one of the rotating bin door 2 and the silo 1 is formed with a rotating shaft 14, and the other of the rotating bin door 2 and the silo 1 is provided with an axial hole 203. The rotating shaft 14 is inserted into the axial hole 203, and the rotating bin door 2 can rotate about the rotating shaft 14. The cooperation between the rotating shaft 14 and the axial hole 203 can help the rotating bin door 2 maintain balance, so that the rotating bin door 2 can rotate smoothly under the push of the driving blade 4 and is not easy to tip over.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: there are two blanking openings 102, and the two blanking openings 102 are spaced apart along the circumference of the silo 1. This can further expand the blanking area and increase the feeding speed.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that the driving blade 4 is vertically or obliquely arranged on the rotating door 2. Thus, the driving blade 4 can be opposite to the flow direction of the water flow, and can be better driven by the water flow to drive the rotating door 2 to rotate.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the number of the driving blades 4 is at least two, and the at least two driving blades 4 are spaced apart and distributed around the rotating shaft 14 of the connecting seat 21 .

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines: the material hopper 1 includes a hopper body 11 and an outer shell 12, the hopper body 11 is disposed in the outer shell 12, the hopper body 11 is provided with a material storage cavity 101 and a material discharge port 102, one of the rotating hopper door 2 and the hopper body 11 is provided with an arcuate guide rail 201, and the other of the rotating hopper door 2 and the hopper body 11 is provided with a guide portion 3, and the outer shell 12 is adapted to be mounted on the cup body of the food processor. By adopting the above structure, the hopper body 11 can be quickly installed on the food processor cup body through the outer shell 12 and can be stably placed above the liquid storage cavity.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further stipulates that: the projection of the driving blade 4 on one side facing the top wall of the outer shell 12 is located between the chamber 11 and the outer shell 12. The liquid in the liquid storage chamber of the food processor forms a vortex under the rotation of the pulverizing blade. The linear velocity of the water flow in the outer circle of the vortex is greater than the linear velocity of the water flow in the inner circle. By adopting the above-mentioned structure, the driving blade 4 will be located at the outer periphery of the rotating chamber door 2, so that it can be more easily pushed by the water flow to realize the rotation of the rotating chamber door 2. At the same time, the projection of the driving blade 4 is between the chamber 11 and the outer shell 12. Therefore, when the user installs and removes the feeding mechanism, there is no need to worry about the driving blade 4 colliding with the main body and causing operational inconvenience.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that the hopper 1 also includes a cover 13. The top wall of the hopper body 11 is provided with a feed opening 104 that communicates with the storage chamber 101. The cover 13 is detachably mounted on the feed opening 104. The provision of the feed opening 104 at the top of the hopper body 11 facilitates the user to insert beans or ingredients. The provision of the cover 13 can cover the feed opening 104, thereby reducing the risk of foreign matter such as dust entering the storage chamber 101.

The provision of the sealing ring 5 improves the sealing performance of the connection between the outer shell 12 and the food processor cup body, thereby preventing the risk of the food processor tipping over or the risk of vortex water in the liquid storage chamber splashing and leaking through the connection during cooking.

[0061] A second aspect of the present application provides a food processor.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment discloses a food processor, comprising: a machine base 200; a cup body 300, the cup body 300 is arranged on the machine base 200, and the cup body 300 is provided with a liquid storage chamber 301; the above-mentioned feeding mechanism 100, the feeding mechanism 100 is detachably arranged on the cup body 300, at least part of the feeding mechanism 100 is located at the upper part of the liquid storage chamber 301, and the storage chamber 101 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 301 through a drop port 102; a crushing knife 400, the crushing knife 400 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 301; a driving device 500, the driving device 500 is arranged on the machine base 200, and the output shaft of the driving device 500 extends into the liquid storage chamber 301 and is driven and connected to the crushing knife 400; a heating component 600, the heating component 600 is arranged on the cup body 300, and the heating component 600 is used to heat the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 301.

When the crushing blade 400 rotates in the liquid storage chamber 301 to form a vortex, the vortex will push the driving blade 4 to drive the guide portion 3 to slide along the arc-shaped guide rail 201, thereby driving the rotating door 2 to rotate relative to the hopper 1 to the second position so that the feeding port 102 is opened to realize automatic feeding. In addition, the engagement of the guide portion 3 with the arc-shaped guide rail 201 can also realize a quick connection between the rotating door 2 and the hopper 1, greatly facilitating the user's assembly and disassembly for thorough cleaning and preventing food residue from accumulating in the gap between the hopper 1 and the rotating door 2.

[0063] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
