Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a kitchen appliance, in particular to an electric soup machine with a stirring function. Background Art

[0002] As a modern kitchen appliance, electric soup makers are commonly used in homes and restaurants, integrating functions such as boiling, stirring, and heating soup. While traditional electric soup makers can heat ingredients, they still have significant structural flaws that affect the user experience and lifespan.

[0003] First, most existing electric soup makers only heat the soup, but fail to ensure even stirring of the ingredients during the heating process. Because ingredients need to be stirred evenly during heating to prevent overheating or partial gelatinization, many traditional soup makers rely on manual stirring, which not only increases the complexity of operation but also requires high user timing and experience. This can easily lead to uneven heating of the soup, affecting the taste and nutrient retention of the food.

[0004] Secondly, due to design limitations, some electric soup makers with stirring functions typically have the stirring paddle mounted in a fixed position above the heating plate. This structure presents problems in the coordinated operation of heating and stirring. Because the drive motor is mounted at the bottom or outside of the machine, the main shaft requires a complex transmission mechanism to drive the stirring paddle. This complicates the machine's structure and increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the machine is susceptible to high temperatures, which can lead to increased wear of the main shaft transmission, shortening the device's service life.

[0005] Additionally, existing electric soup makers also have flaws in sealing. Because the heating process generates high temperatures and pressures, improper sealing can easily lead to liquid leakage, which not only affects the normal operation of the machine but also poses a safety hazard. Especially when the stirring function is activated, the high-speed rotation of the stirring paddle exacerbates the fluctuations of the liquid, making it even more difficult for the sealing structure of traditional soup makers to completely prevent liquid leakage. Furthermore, since most seals use simple rubber gaskets, they are prone to aging under prolonged high temperature conditions, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. An electric soup maker with a stirring function comprises a cup body 1, a heating plate 2 is mounted on the bottom of the cup body 1, and the heating plate 2 heats the cup body 1;

[0026] The main unit 3 is also included on the top of the cup body 1, and the main unit 3 is connected to the plug 5 provided on the cup body 1 through the socket 4 to achieve electrical connection;

[0027] A drive motor 6 is installed in the host 3 , and a main shaft 7 of the drive motor 6 extends out of the bottom of the host 3 and is connected to a stirring paddle 8 . A main control system is provided in the host 3 to control the operation of the heating plate 2 and the drive motor 6 .

[0028] In one embodiment, a connecting seat 9 is extended downward from the bottom of the main unit 3 , a through hole 10 is provided at the center of the connecting seat 9 , and the main shaft 7 passes through the through hole 10 to connect with the stirring paddle 8 .

[0029] In one embodiment: the lower end surface of the connecting seat 9 is provided with an upwardly recessed accommodating area 11, the through hole 10 is provided in the accommodating area 11, the through hole 10 is a stepped hole that is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside, and an organic seal is installed in the stepped hole to seal the gap between the main shaft 7 and the through hole 10.

[0030] In one embodiment, the mechanical seal includes an outer ring 12, and a first water-stop ring 13 and a second water-stop ring 14 are provided on the inner hole of the outer ring 12. The first water-stop ring 13 and the second water-stop ring 14 are distributed in a "K" shape and extend toward the drive motor 6 and the stirring paddle 8 respectively.

[0031] In one embodiment, the end surface of the outer ring 12 is further covered with a pressure cover 15 , and the pressure cover 15 is fixed in the accommodating area 11 .

[0032] In one embodiment, the outer ring 12 , the first water-stop ring 13 and the second water-stop ring 14 are integrally formed of rubber material.

[0033] In one embodiment, the bottom of the cup body 1 is further covered with a base 16 , and the heating plate 2 is installed on the outer bottom of the cup body 1 and covered by the base 16 .

[0034] In one embodiment, the cup body 1 is made of stainless steel into a cylindrical shape, and a spoiler 17 is provided on the cylindrical surface of the cup body 1 protruding inward.

[0035] Working Principle: When the electric soup heater is activated, heating plate 2 heats the liquid in cup 1. The heating plate's bottom fits snugly against the bottom of the cup, enabling efficient heat transfer and rapidly increasing the liquid's temperature. Throughout the heating process, the heated liquid is stirred by a baffle 17, creating a more uniform temperature distribution and preventing overheating at the bottom.

[0036] The drive motor 6 is mounted within the main unit 3. Its main shaft 7 extends directly through the bottom of the main unit and connects to the stirring paddle 8 via a through-hole 10. When the motor is activated, the main shaft drives the stirring paddle to rotate. As the stirring paddle rotates in the liquid, it interacts with the baffle 17 within the cup, creating a complex flow path for the liquid, achieving a thorough stirring effect. This stirring design effectively improves heating uniformity and prevents ingredients from becoming scorched during heating.

[0037] To prevent liquid leakage during stirring and heating, the present invention incorporates a sealing assembly at the connection base 9. This assembly comprises an outer ring 12, a first water-stop ring 13, and a second water-stop ring 14. These seals are integrally molded from an elastic material and positioned within the stepped hole of the connection base. This mechanical seal effectively seals the gap between the main shaft 7 and the through-hole 10, preventing liquid leakage due to the rotation of the stirring paddle. Furthermore, a gland 15 secured within the accommodating area 11 further enhances the sealing effect, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0038] The electric soup maker of this utility model controls the heating plate 2 and drive motor 6 through a main control system, ensuring simultaneous stirring and heating. The linkage between the heating plate and drive motor ensures that the stirring paddle remains in a rotating state as the liquid temperature gradually rises, thus ensuring temperature uniformity. This effectively prevents localized overheating caused by sedimentation of ingredients, improving the taste and quality of the soup.

[0039] Through the above design, the electric soup maker of this utility model has the functions of efficient heating, uniform stirring, and reliable sealing, which significantly improves the heating effect of soup and the safety of the device. At the same time, the simplified structure and integrated sealing component reduce the manufacturing cost of the device, improving the overall reliability and user experience.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements shall fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
