[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In order to provide a clearer explanation and description of the technical solution and implementation of the present invention, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of the present invention are introduced below.

[0041] It should be noted that the directional words such as "inside, outside", "front, back" and "left, right" in this article are expressed based on the product usage status. Obviously, the use of the corresponding directional words does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this scheme.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a grinding device, which includes a main body 10 and a grinding assembly 20 arranged on the main body 10.

[0043] The main machine 10 includes a motor assembly 11 , and a connecting sleeve 13 is provided on a drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11 . The grinding assembly 20 is provided on the main machine 10 and includes a feed barrel 21 , a discharge barrel 22 and a grinding tool 23 .

[0044] The discharge barrel 22 includes a cylindrical body 221, which is closed at the lower end and open at the upper end. A discharge pipe 222 is provided on the sidewall of the body 221. The outer end of the discharge pipe 222 is tilted downward to facilitate powder discharge. In operation, the grinding tool 23 is disposed within the body 221 and is removably connected to the drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11 via a connecting sleeve 13.

[0045] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the feed barrel 21 includes a feed barrel body 211 and a grinding chamber 212 disposed at the lower end of the feed barrel body 211. The feed barrel body 211 is cylindrical with an open upper end. The diameter of the feed barrel body 211 is the same as that of the discharge barrel body 221. The lower end of the feed barrel body 211 is inserted and adapted to the open end of the discharge barrel body 221. The grinding chamber 212 is tubular, and the inner wall of the grinding chamber 212 is provided with grinding internal teeth 213. A fixed seat 214 is provided at the center of the upper end of the grinding chamber 212. The outer wall of the fixed seat 214 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the grinding chamber 212 by a plurality of strip-shaped ribs 215. The feed barrel body 211 and the grinding chamber 212 are connected through the gaps between the strip-shaped ribs 215.

[0046] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the grinding tool 23 has grinding outer teeth 231. The outer grinding teeth 231 have a conical shape and are compatible with the grinding inner teeth 213. They are used to grind legumes such as coffee, soybeans, and mung beans. The upper end of the grinding outer teeth 231 is provided with a rotating shaft 232. The upper end of the rotating shaft 232 is provided with a threaded fixing portion. The rotating shaft 232 extends upward from the fixing seat 214 and is fixed by a nut 233. The lower end of the grinding outer teeth 231 is provided with a connecting end, which is inserted into the connecting sleeve 13 to achieve a detachable connection. Among them, the connecting end and the connecting sleeve 13 are provided with mutually matching spiral ribs and spiral grooves, and the spiral ribs and spiral grooves are arranged in an axial spiral.

[0047] During operation, the reaction force of coffee beans and other ingredients pushes the grinding chamber upward, causing it to move or sway, which in turn drives the grinding blade upward. Therefore, in existing technologies, the grinding blade is typically fixed to the motor assembly and cannot be disassembled. This makes cleaning the grinding blade difficult, leading to the accumulation of bean powder on the grinding blade. If left uncleaned for an extended period, this can breed bacteria and negatively impact physical and mental health.

[0048] To this end, this embodiment improves and optimizes the axial limiting structure of the grinding tool. The grinding tool 23 is detachably connected to the drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11 through a connecting sleeve 13, which allows for quick assembly and disassembly, and makes it easy to clean the grinding tool, thereby improving hygiene.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, a connecting shaft is provided at the lower end of the connecting end of the grinding tool 23, a spiral rib 234 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting shaft, and a plurality of scrapers 235 are provided around the spiral rib 234. The scraper 235 is rectangular, and the outer edge is adapted to the inner wall of the discharge cylinder, and is used to scrape the powder obtained by grinding to the discharge pipe for output.

[0050] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9As shown, the first end of the connecting sleeve 13 is provided with a spiral groove 131 that matches the spiral rib 234, and the second end of the connecting sleeve 13 is provided with a first axial hole 132 that matches the drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11. The depth of the first axial hole 132 is greater than the length of the drive shaft 12 to reserve space for the movement of the connecting sleeve 13. At least two first ribs 133 are provided on the inner wall of the first axial hole 132, and at least two second ribs 14 are provided on the drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11. A circumferential gap is provided between the side surfaces of the first and second ribs. The first ribs 133 and the second ribs 14 cooperate with each other to drive the connecting sleeve 13 to rotate. The first end of the connecting sleeve 13 is the end facing the grinding tool 23 in the assembled state, and the second end is the other end opposite to the first end, that is, the end facing the motor assembly 11 in the assembled state. The first end of the connecting sleeve 13 is used to connect to the grinding tool 23, and the second end of the connecting sleeve 13 is used to connect to the motor assembly 11.

[0051] When the grinding tool 23 is working, the motor assembly 11 drives the connecting sleeve 13 to rotate, and the interaction between the spiral ribs and the spiral grooves further drives the grinding tool 23 to rotate. The rotation direction of the connecting sleeve 13 is opposite to the rotation direction of the grinding tool 23 when it is working. The reaction force of coffee beans and other ingredients acts on the grinding tool 23, generating a downward pulling force on the grinding tool 23, thereby achieving axial limitation.

[0052] This embodiment uses the example of a spiral rib provided on a grinding tool. The spiral rib is provided on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 232. This design allows the connecting shaft 232 to have a smaller diameter, facilitating machining and reducing costs. Obviously, the functions and technical effects of the present invention can also be achieved by providing the spiral rib on the connecting sleeve.

[0053] A first gap is defined between the end surface of the spiral groove and the root of the spiral rib, allowing the connecting sleeve and the connecting end to move relative to each other, loosening the spiral groove and the spiral rib. In this embodiment, a first gap s is defined between the end surface of the first end of the connecting sleeve 13 and the root of the spiral rib. This first gap s is 2 to 6 mm. This first gap s allows the grinding tool 23 to move toward the connecting sleeve 13 when subjected to a downward pressure, causing the connecting sleeve 13 to rotate, thereby loosening the spiral rib and the spiral groove, facilitating removal of the grinding tool 23.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment, Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown, the motor assembly 11 is an integrated structure composed of a motor and a reducer. The output shaft of the reducer constitutes the drive shaft 12 of the motor assembly 11. The center of the end cover 15 of the reducer has a through hole. The inner wall of the through hole of the end cover 15 is provided with a first bearing 16 and a second bearing 17. The connecting sleeve 13 is rotatably engaged with the first bearing 16, and the first end extends out of the end cover 15 and the main machine 10. The drive shaft 12 is rotatably engaged with the second bearing 17. The end of the second end of the connecting sleeve 13 is provided with an outer flange 134. The outer flange 134 is arranged between the first bearing 16 and the second bearing 17 and can move axially.

[0055] Below Figure 3 、 Figure 10 The illustrated state illustrates the working principle of this embodiment in detail.

[0056] The motor assembly 11 drives the connecting sleeve 13 to rotate counterclockwise. With the cooperation of the spiral groove and the spiral rib, the connecting sleeve 13 drives the grinding tool 23 to rotate clockwise to perform grinding. At this time, there is a gap s between the upper end of the connecting sleeve 13 (the end face of the first end) and the root of the spiral rib.

[0057] During the grinding process, the food produces a downward squeezing force on the grinding cutter 23 , so that the grinding cutter 23 maintains a reliable connection downward with the connecting sleeve 13 and the motor assembly 11 .

[0058] After the grinding work is completed, the feed barrel 21 is removed. At this time, the spiral ribs and spiral grooves between the grinding tool 23 and the connecting sleeve 13 are in a tight fit, making it difficult to pull out the grinding tool 23. To this end, the grinding tool 23 is pressed downward. Due to the existence of the first gap s, the grinding tool 23 moves downward toward the connecting sleeve 13 by the distance of the first gap s under the action of the downward pressure, causing the connecting sleeve 13 to slightly reverse (rotate clockwise), loosening the spiral ribs and spiral grooves. Then, when the grinding tool 23 is pulled upward, the connecting sleeve 13 can move upward accordingly. When it presses against the first bearing 16, the connecting sleeve 13 rotates counterclockwise, thereby pulling out the grinding tool 23.

[0059] It can be seen that in this embodiment 1, the grinding tool 23 can maintain a reliable connection with the motor assembly 11 during operation, and the grinding tool 23 can be quickly removed for cleaning after the work is completed. It is easy to use, safe and reliable.

[0060] Based on the description of the above specific embodiments, the grinding device and grinding tool provided by the present invention have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0061] First, the connecting shaft of the grinding tool is connected to the connecting sleeve through spiral ribs and spiral grooves. The grinding tool is driven to rotate through the connecting sleeve to complete the grinding work. The grinding tool can maintain a reliable connection with the motor assembly during hardness work. After the work is completed, it can be quickly disassembled for cleaning. It is easy to use, safe and reliable.

[0062] Second, a first gap s is provided between the end face of the spiral groove and the root of the spiral rib. The setting of the first gap s enables the grinding tool to move toward the connecting sleeve when subjected to a downward pressure force, causing the connecting sleeve to slightly reverse, loosening the spiral rib and the spiral groove, so that the grinding tool can be easily pulled out.

[0063] Third, a through hole is provided in the center of the end cover of the reducer, and a first bearing and a second bearing are spaced apart on the inner wall of the through hole. An outer flange is provided at the end of the second end of the connecting sleeve, and the outer flange is arranged between the first bearing and the second bearing and can move axially, retaining the rotation space of the connecting sleeve, thereby realizing the rapid extraction of the grinding tool.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprise," "include," or any other variations thereof, as used herein, are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0065] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone should be aware of the structural changes made under the inspiration of the present invention. Any structural changes with the same or similar technical solutions as the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
