For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the announcement number CN203194450U discloses a barrel discharge port structure of cold drink equipment, which includes a barrel and a discharge tap assembly provided on the barrel. The barrel is provided with a discharge hole that is connected to the inside of the barrel. The discharge tap assembly is inserted into the discharge hole and can control the opening and closing of the discharge hole. The structure and assembly are relatively complex, and part of the structure is installed in the discharge hole, which affects the discharge of food. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present utility model is to provide an opening and closing mechanism for a material discharging port of a food processor and a smoothie machine, so as to solve the problem that the material discharging port of the food processor is difficult to control.

[0004] The embodiment of the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: an opening and closing mechanism of a material outlet of a food processor, comprising a material outlet seat, a handle, a driving reset member and a seesaw;

[0005] The discharge port seat is provided with a discharge opening, and the discharge opening is communicated with the space for storing food in the food processor;

[0006] The middle portion of the handle is hinged to the discharge port seat, the first end of the handle is slidably matched with the first end of the seesaw, the driving reset member is provided on the seesaw, and the middle portion of the seesaw is hinged to the discharge port seat;

[0007] The driving reset member has a first state and a second state; one end of the driving reset member abuts against the seesaw, and the other end of the driving reset member abuts against the discharge port seat or the handle;

[0008] When the driving reset member is in the first state, the driving reset member applies a force in a first direction to the seesaw so that the second end of the seesaw blocks the discharge opening; when a force in the first direction is applied to the second end of the handle, the first end of the handle squeezes the first end of the seesaw so that the first end of the seesaw and the second end of the seesaw rotate along the second direction, and the driving reset member is converted from the first state to the second state, and the seesaw releases the blockage of the discharge opening, thereby allowing the food in the food processor to flow out through the discharge opening; wherein, the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0009] By pulling the handle of the opening and closing mechanism, the blocking of the discharging opening by the seesaw can be quickly released, thereby enabling rapid discharging of food. When the handle is released, the reset member is driven to reset the seesaw and the handle, thereby sealing the discharging opening and preventing food from leaking out of the discharging opening. The opening and closing mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the discharge port seat includes a base plate, a first vertical plate, and a second vertical plate;

[0011] The discharge opening is arranged through the substrate;

[0012] The first vertical plate and the second vertical plate are arranged in parallel on the first plate surface of the base plate, and the discharge opening is located in the space between the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate.

[0013] The discharge port seat serves as the installation base for other structural parts of the opening and closing mechanism, and provides installation space for other structural parts. The above-mentioned structural form of the discharge port seat can realize the convenient and stable installation of other structural parts.

[0014] In some embodiments, the handle includes a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate, the first plate is arranged parallel to the second plate, one end of the second plate is connected to one end of the first plate, the other end of the second plate is connected to one end of the third plate, and the second plate is perpendicular to the first plate and the third plate; the first plate is close to the first vertical plate and parallel to the first vertical plate; the third plate is close to the second vertical plate and parallel to the second vertical plate;

[0015] Corresponding to the first end of the handle, an arc-shaped sliding hole is respectively provided on the first plate member and the second plate member, and the sliding hole protrudes toward the discharge port seat.

[0016] The handle structure facilitates both operation and installation with the discharge port. The arc-shaped sliding hole matches the sliding trajectory of the structure in the seesaw that cooperates with the sliding hole, meeting both the required opening range of the seesaw and the requirement for smooth resetting of the handle.

[0017] In some embodiments, a driving shaft is provided at the first end of the seesaw, and a sliding rod is provided at each end of the driving shaft. The sliding rods are respectively slidably engaged with the two sliding holes, and one end of the two sliding rods extends into the sliding hole.

[0018] The sliding rods at both ends of the drive shaft are used to achieve sliding cooperation with the sliding holes, so that when the handle is rotated, the sliding holes can apply a force in the corresponding direction to the sliding rods, so that while the rocker rotates, the sliding rods can slide in the sliding holes to meet the requirements of the rocker opening range.

[0019] In some embodiments, a driving shaft is provided at the first end of the seesaw, and a first central shaft hole is provided along the axis direction of the driving shaft;

[0020] The opening and closing mechanism further includes a connecting shaft, which is fixedly disposed in the first central axis hole. Both ends of the connecting shaft are respectively slidably engaged with the two sliding holes, and both ends of the connecting shaft are respectively extended into the sliding holes.

[0021] By fitting the first central axis hole of the rocker drive shaft with the connecting shaft, during installation, the rocker can be placed in place first, and then the connecting shaft can be passed through the corresponding mounting hole in the discharge port seat and the first central axis hole, achieving sliding engagement between the rocker via the connecting shaft and the sliding hole. When the handle is rotated, the sliding hole applies a force in the corresponding direction to the connecting shaft, allowing the rocker to rotate while the connecting shaft slides within the sliding hole, meeting the required rocker opening range.

[0022] In some embodiments, a limit strip is provided on the outer surface of the first plate and / or the second plate. When the driving reset member is in the first state, the limit strip is perpendicular to the base plate, and the limit strip abuts against the outer end surface of the first end of the handle corresponding to the first plate and / or the second plate.

[0023] The setting of the limit bar can limit the position of the handle to prevent the handle from excessively rebounding when resetting.

[0024] In some embodiments, the rocker is located in a spatial position between the first upright plate and the second upright plate, a hinge shaft is provided in the middle of the rocker, and a second central axis hole is provided along the axis direction of the hinge shaft;

[0025] The opening and closing mechanism further includes a rotating shaft, which passes through the second central axis hole, and two ends of the rotating shaft are hinged to the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate respectively.

[0026] The rocker is hinged to the discharge port seat through the cooperation of the rotating shaft, the hinge shaft, the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate. When the handle is rotated, the rocker can rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby sealing and opening the discharge opening.

[0027] In some embodiments, a sealing member is provided on the plate surface of the first end of the seesaw plate facing the substrate, and when the driving reset member is in the first state, the sealing member seals the discharge opening.

[0028] The sealing member can better seal the discharge opening to prevent food from leaking from the discharge opening.

[0029] In some embodiments, the drive reset member is a torsion spring, one end of which abuts the surface of the seesaw facing away from the base; the other end of the torsion spring abuts the first surface of the base, or abuts the side of the handle facing the first surface, and the middle portion of the torsion spring is sleeved on the drive shaft. The torsion spring has a simple structure and is easy to mate with and install with other structural components.

[0030] The present application also provides a smoothie machine, comprising an opening and closing mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0032] By pulling the handle of the opening and closing mechanism, the blocking of the discharging opening by the seesaw can be quickly released, thereby enabling rapid discharging of food. When the handle is released, the reset member is driven to reset the seesaw and the handle, thereby sealing the discharging opening and preventing food from leaking out of the discharging opening. The opening and closing mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] It should be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the above description should not be considered as limiting, but merely as an example of an embodiment. Other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present application will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0042] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the present application and, together with the general description of the present application given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present application.

[0043] These and other characteristics of the present application will become apparent from the following description of a preferred form of embodiment given as a non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It should also be understood that although the present application has been described with reference to certain specific examples, those skilled in the art will readily be able to implement many other equivalent forms of the present application.

[0045] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Specific embodiments of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments described are merely examples of the present application and may be implemented in a variety of ways. Familiar and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details described herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to variously utilize the present application with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0047] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," which may all refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0048] The present application provides an opening and closing mechanism 10 for a material outlet of a food processing machine. The food processing machine may be, but is not limited to, a smoothie machine, a meat grinder, a wall breaking machine, etc.

[0049] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The opening and closing mechanism 10 includes a discharge port seat 14 , a handle 11 , a driving reset member and a rocker 13 .

[0050] The discharge port base 14 is provided with a discharge opening 144, which is connected to the food storage space of the food processor. For example, if the food processor is a smoothie maker, the discharge port base 14 can be installed on the barrel 20 of the smoothie maker, and the discharge opening 144 is connected to the barrel 20 of the smoothie maker. After the smoothie is prepared in the barrel 20, it can be discharged through the discharge opening 144.

[0051] The middle portion of the handle 11 is hinged to the discharge port seat 14. For example, the middle portion of the handle 11 can be hinged to the discharge port seat 14 via a hinged long axis 17. The handle 11 can be configured as a plate or a strip, with a first end and a second end. The second end of the handle 11 can serve as an operating end, meaning that by manually pulling the second end of the handle 11, the handle 11 can rotate relative to the discharge port seat 14. As the handle 11 rotates, the first end of the handle 11 also rotates. A drive reset member is provided on the rocker 13, the middle portion of which is hinged to the discharge port seat 14. The first end of the handle 11 slidably engages with the first end of the rocker 13. When the first end of the handle 11 rotates, a force in a corresponding direction is applied to the first end of the rocker 13, causing the rocker 13 to rotate relative to the discharge port seat 14. As the first end of the handle 11 rotates, the first end of the rocker 13 can slide relative to the handle 11, and the second end of the rocker 13 can also rotate relative to the discharge port seat 14. When the second end of the handle 11 is released, that is, when the handle 11 is no longer pulled, the rocker 13 is reset under the force of the driving reset member, and at the same time, the first end of the rocker 13 applies a force to the first end of the handle 11, so that the handle 11 can also be reset. At the same time, the first end of the handle 11 can slide relative to the handle 11.

[0052] The driving reset member has a first state and a second state. One end of the driving reset member abuts against the rocker 13, and the other end of the driving reset member abuts against the discharge port seat 14 or the handle 11. Of course, the other end of the driving reset member can also abut against other positions. For example, the other end of the driving reset member can also abut against the hinged long shaft 17. As long as its driving reset function can be achieved, this is only used as an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims.

[0053] When the reset member is in the first state, the reset member applies a force in the first direction to the seesaw 13 so that the second end of the seesaw 13 blocks the discharge opening 144. The first state can also be understood as the initial state. When discharge is required, the discharge opening 144 needs to be opened. At this time, the second end of the handle 11 can be pulled. When a force in the first direction is applied to the second end of the handle 11, the handle 11 rotates around the position where its middle part is hinged to the discharge port seat 14. The first end of the handle 11 squeezes the first end of the seesaw 13 so that the first end of the seesaw 13 rotates. While the first end of the seesaw 13 rotates, it slides relative to the first end of the handle 11. The second end of the seesaw 13 can rotate in the second direction. The reset member is driven to switch from the first state to the second state. The seesaw 13 releases the blockage of the discharge opening 144, thereby allowing the food in the food processor to flow out through the discharge opening 144. The second direction is opposite to the first direction. For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the second end of the handle 11 is pulled counterclockwise (first direction), the first end of the handle 11 also rotates counterclockwise and is squeezed by the handle 11, causing the first end of the rocker 13 to rotate clockwise (second direction). The second end of the rocker 13 also rotates clockwise, and at the same time, the rocker 13 applies a force to the reset drive element, which is also squeezed. When the second end of the rocker 13 rotates to a certain extent, the discharge opening 144 is fully opened. When the second end of the handle 11 is released, the reset drive element resets, applies a counterclockwise force to the second end of the rocker 13, and the rocker 13 rotates counterclockwise. The first end of the rocker 13 rotates counterclockwise and applies a force to the first end of the handle 11, causing the handle 11 to reset clockwise, and the rocker 13 once again blocks the discharge opening 144.

[0054] By pulling the handle 11 of the opening and closing mechanism 10, the blocking of the discharge opening 144 by the seesaw 13 can be quickly released, thereby enabling rapid discharge of food. When the handle 11 is released, the reset member can be driven to reset the seesaw 13 and the handle 11, thereby sealing the discharge opening 144 and preventing food from leaking out of the discharge opening 144. The opening and closing mechanism 10 has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0055] In some embodiments, the discharge port seat 14 includes a base plate 145 , a first vertical plate 141 and a second vertical plate 142 .

[0056] The substrate 145 may be a flat plate, and the discharge opening 144 is provided through the substrate 145. Figure 2 As shown, the discharge opening 144 can be set in the middle position near one end of the base plate 145. The size of the discharge opening 144 can be set according to actual production needs.

[0057] Continue to combine Figure 2 The first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 are arranged parallel to the first plate surface of the base plate 145, and there is a certain distance between the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 to form an installation space between the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 for installing the handle 11, the rocker 13 and the driving reset member. The discharge opening 144 is located in the space between the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142. The first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 can be set as follows Figure 2 In the L-shaped structure shown, the height of the portion hinged to the handle 11 is higher than the height of the portion hinged to the rocker 13 , so as to provide sufficient rotation space for the handle 11 and the rocker 13 .

[0058] Hinge holes 143 are respectively provided on the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 at positions corresponding to the hinges of the handle 11 and the rocker 13. The hinge holes 143 can pass through the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 respectively, so as to facilitate the hinged setting of the handle 11 and the rocker 13 on the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142.

[0059] The discharge port seat 14 serves as the installation base for other structural components of the opening and closing mechanism 10 and provides installation space for other structural components. The above-mentioned structural form of the discharge port seat 14 can realize convenient and stable installation of other structural components.

[0060] In some embodiments, the handle 11 includes a first plate 111, a second plate 112, and a third plate 113. The first plate 111 is arranged parallel to the second plate 112. One end of the second plate 112 is connected to one end of the first plate 111, and the other end of the second plate 112 is connected to one end of the third plate 113. The second plate 112 is perpendicular to the first plate 111 and the third plate 113. The first plate 111 is close to and parallel to the first vertical plate 141; the third plate 113 is close to and parallel to the second vertical plate 142. Of course, the handle 11 can also be formed by bending a plate, that is, one end of the first plate 111 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first plate 111 to form the second plate 112, and then the other end of the second plate 112 extends in a direction perpendicular to the second plate 112 to form the second plate 112, and the third plate 113 and the first plate 111 are located on the same plate surface side of the second plate 112.

[0061] Corresponding to the second end of handle 11, first plate 111 and second plate 112 each have an arcuate sliding hole 114, which projects toward discharge port 14. The arcuate sliding hole 114 aligns with the sliding trajectory of the structure in rocker 13 that cooperates with it, ensuring both the required opening range of rocker 13 and the smooth return of handle 11.

[0062] Here, the first end of the handle 11 can be designed to extend away from the first end of the handle 11, corresponding to the position where the sliding hole 114 is formed, and the extended portion can be configured into a corresponding arc shape to prevent the handle 11 from interfering with the discharge port seat 14 when the handle 11 is not fully rotated, thereby ensuring the desired rotation angle and the opening of the discharge opening 144. The end of the extended portion can also be configured into a rounded corner, which not only looks good but also prevents the extended portion from scratching or damaging the user.

[0063] The above-mentioned structure of the handle 11 can facilitate the operation of the handle 11 and also facilitate the matching installation of the handle 11 with the discharge port seat 14 .

[0064] In some embodiments, a drive shaft 131 is provided at the first end of the rocker 13, and a sliding rod is provided at each end of the drive shaft 131. For example, protrusions can be formed at both ends of the drive shaft 131 to form sliding rods, and the sliding rods can be rods with a circular cross-section. Sliding rods can also be detachably provided at both ends of the drive shaft 131 to facilitate the installation of the rocker 13 and the discharge port seat 14. Of course, it is understandable that a protrusion can also be formed at one end of the drive shaft 131 as a sliding rod, and a sliding rod can be detachably provided at the other end. The two sliding rods are respectively slidably engaged with the two sliding holes 114 on the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142, and one end of the two sliding rods extends into the sliding hole 114.

[0065] The arcuate sliding hole 114 has a certain length that satisfies the rotation range and reset requirements of the rocker 13. The arcuate sliding hole 114 also has a certain width. The outer diameter of the sliding rod is commensurate with the width of the sliding hole 114. The sliding rod can slide smoothly within the sliding hole 114, and the inner wall of the sliding hole 114 can apply a force to the sliding rod when the handle 11 is rotated.

[0066] The sliding rods at both ends of the drive shaft 131 are used to achieve sliding cooperation with the sliding hole 114, so that when the handle 11 rotates, the sliding hole 114 can apply a force in the corresponding direction to the sliding rod, so that when the rocker 13 rotates, the sliding rod can slide in the sliding hole 114, meeting the opening range requirement of the rocker 13.

[0067] In some embodiments, a driving shaft 131 is provided at the first end of the rocker 13. The driving shaft 131 is provided with a first central shaft hole along its axis.

[0068] The opening and closing mechanism 10 further includes a connecting shaft 16, the length of which is greater than the length of the driving shaft 131. The connecting shaft 16 can be fixedly disposed in the first central shaft hole, and the fixing method can be welding, gluing, transition fit, etc.

[0069] Both ends of the connecting shaft 16 extend from the first central shaft hole respectively, and slideably cooperate with the two sliding holes 114 on the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 , and both ends of the connecting shaft 16 extend into the sliding holes 114 respectively.

[0070] By fitting the first central axis hole of the drive shaft 131 of the rocker 13 with the connecting shaft 16, during installation, the rocker 13 can be first placed in place, and then the connecting shaft 16 can be passed through the corresponding mounting hole and the first central axis hole of the discharge port seat 14, thereby achieving sliding fit between the rocker 13 and the sliding hole 114 via the connecting shaft 16. When the handle 11 is rotated, the sliding hole 114 can apply a force in the corresponding direction to the connecting shaft 16, so that as the rocker 13 rotates, the connecting shaft 16 can slide within the sliding hole 114, meeting the required opening range of the rocker 13.

[0071] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first plate 111 and / or the second plate 112 is provided with a limit strip 115, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the driving reset member is in the first state, the limiting strip 115 is perpendicular to the base plate 145, and the limiting strip 115 abuts against the outer end surface of the first end of the first plate 111 and / or the second plate 112 corresponding to the handle 11. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting strip 115 can be in the shape of a long strip. The limiting strip 115 can be fixed on the first vertical plate 141 and / or the second vertical plate 142 as a separate structural member, or it can be formed as a whole with the first vertical plate 141 and / or the second bottom plate, that is, a long strip-shaped limiting protrusion is formed by the outer end surface of the first end of the handle 11 corresponding to the first plate 111 and / or the second plate 112.

[0072] The setting of the limit bar 115 can limit the position of the handle 11 to prevent the handle 11 from rebounding excessively when resetting. For example, the handle 11 rebounds excessively and sticks to the outer wall surface of the cylinder of the smoothie machine, affecting the operation of the handle 11.

[0073] In some embodiments, the seesaw 13 is located in the space between the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a hinge shaft 132 is provided in the middle of the rocker 13 , and a second central shaft hole is provided along the axis of the hinge shaft 132 . The hinge shaft 132 is provided in parallel with the driving shaft 131 .

[0074] The opening and closing mechanism 10 further includes a rotating shaft 15 , which passes through the second central axis hole. Both ends of the rotating shaft 15 extend from the second central axis hole and are hinged to hinge holes 143 provided on the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142 .

[0075] The rocker 13 is hinged to the discharge port seat 14 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 15, the hinge shaft 132, and the first vertical plate 141 and the second vertical plate 142. When the handle 11 rotates, the rocker 13 can rotate around the rotating shaft 15, thereby achieving the blocking and opening of the discharge opening 144.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a seal 133 is provided on the plate surface of the first end of the rocker 13 facing the substrate 145. The first end of the rocker 13 is a flat plate, and the area of the flat plate is larger than the area of the discharge opening 144. The seal 133 can be fixedly or detachably provided on the plate surface of the flat plate facing the substrate 145. For example, a mounting groove can be provided on the flat plate, and one end of the seal 133 is disposed in the mounting groove. The seal 133 can be a sealing ring, and the structural form of the sealing ring corresponds to the structural form of the discharge opening 144. When the drive reset member is in the first state, the drive reset member applies a force to the rocker 13 so that the seal 133 can maintain a good sealing effect on the discharge opening 144.

[0077] The sealing member 133 can better seal the discharge opening 144 to prevent food from leaking from the discharge opening 144 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the drive reset element is a torsion spring 12. One end of the torsion spring 12 abuts the surface of the rocker 13 facing away from the base plate 145, and the other end of the torsion spring 12 abuts the first surface of the base plate 145. Alternatively, the other end of the torsion spring 12 abuts the side of the handle 11 facing the first surface. The middle portion of the torsion spring 12 is sleeved onto the drive shaft 131 of the rocker 13. The torsion spring 12 has a simple structure, facilitating coordination and installation with other structural components.

[0079] The present application also provides a smoothie machine. Figure 4 As shown, the smoothie machine includes an opening and closing mechanism 10 as described in any one of the above embodiments. The smoothie machine can realize the rapid discharge of smoothie when smoothie is needed, and quickly block the discharge opening when smoothie is not needed to prevent smoothie leakage.

[0080] During normal operation of the smoothie maker, the liquid in the barrel 20 gradually condenses into smoothie and accumulates toward the discharge opening 144. Due to the force of the torsion spring 12, the seal 133 on the seesaw 13 blocks the discharge opening 144, preventing the smoothie from flowing out. When smoothie is needed, the handle 11 is pulled in the first direction. The rotation of the handle 11 drives the seesaw 13 away from the discharge opening, and the torsion spring 12 is twisted to increase the reaction force, causing the smoothie to flow out of the discharge opening 144. When the handle 11 is released, the handle 11 and the seesaw 13 automatically return to their original position under the force of the torsion spring 12, sealing the discharge opening 144.

[0081] The above describes in detail several embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various variations and modifications based on the concept of the present invention, and these variations and modifications should fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
