[0043] Furthermore, the positioning and guiding structure of the food supplement machine of the present invention also includes a stirring cup 7, a water storage chamber 25 is provided in the cup body 2, the stirring cup 7 is installed in the water storage chamber 25, an axial hole 31 is opened in the center of the cup cover 3, one end of the stirring tool 4 extends into the stirring cup 7, and the other end thereof is passed through the axial hole 31; the machine body 1 is also provided with a knob 51 connected to the drive assembly 5; when the knob 51 is rotated, the drive assembly 5 can be raised and lowered so that the output shaft of the drive assembly 5 is plugged into the other end of the stirring tool 4 to realize transmission connection or disengagement.

[0044] In this embodiment, the knob 51 rotates to cause the driving assembly 5 to move up and down. The connection thereof can achieve the lifting and lowering of the driving assembly 5 by threaded engagement, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0045] Specifically, a through hole 141 communicating with the accommodating cavity 11 is opened on the body 1, and the lock column 14 is fixed on the driving assembly 5. When the driving assembly 5 is raised or lowered, the lock column 14 can be driven to pass through or disengage from the through hole 141 to be inserted into or removed from the lock slot 321.

[0046] During use, the cup body 2 is pushed into the accommodating chamber 11, and the knob 51 can be turned to drive the driving assembly 5 to move up and down, thereby driving the locking column 14 fixed on the driving assembly 5 to move up and down, so that the locking column 14 passes through the through hole 141 and is plugged into the locking groove 321 on the cup cover 3, thereby ensuring that the cup body 2 is firmly fixed in the accommodating chamber 11, and the cup body 2 will not rotate when the driving assembly 5 drives the stirring tool 4 to rotate, thereby effectively avoiding the safety hazards caused by the loosening of the cup body 2, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the device during use.

[0047] In other cases, the lock column 14 and the lock slot 321 can also be connected by a spring buckle and a limit slot, so that the cup body 2 is locked after being installed in the accommodating cavity 11 to achieve fixation and prevent the cup body 2 from rotating, but is not limited to this.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a bracket 6 is further provided in the water storage chamber 25 , and the stirring cup 7 is snapped onto the bracket 6 and installed in the water storage chamber 25 .

[0049] See Figure 2 The body 1 is also provided with a guide column 12 located at the top of the accommodating cavity 11, and the top of the cup cover 3 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 33. When the cup body 2 is installed in the accommodating cavity 11, the guide column 12 is engaged with the guide groove 33.

[0050] Among them, the positioning and guiding structure of the supplementary food machine of the present invention also includes an elastic part 13. One end of the guide column 12 is fixed to the machine body 1 through the elastic part 13. When the cup body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 and in place, the other end of the guide column 12 is engaged with the guide groove 33 under the elastic force of the elastic part 13, further improving the firmness of the cup body 2 after being installed in the accommodating cavity 11, ensuring that the mixing tool 4 will not rotate under the drive of the driving component 5.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the engagement between the guide post 12 and the guide groove 33 can enable the cup body 2 and the accommodating cavity 11 to be axially positioned for the third time, thereby achieving precise docking of the cup body 2 and the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0052] Specifically, two guide blocks 111 are provided and are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 , and the number of the guide grooves 21 is the same as the number of the guide blocks 111 .

[0053] See also Figure 1The two guide blocks 111 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and the two guide grooves 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the cup body 2; wherein, the two guide blocks 111 are provided with inclined surfaces 1111 for guiding; the two guide blocks 111 located on both sides of the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 are abutted against the guide grooves 21 located on both sides of the bottom of the cup body 2 to improve the firmness of the cup body 2 installed in the accommodating cavity 11, and the guide blocks 111 are provided with inclined surfaces 1111 for guiding. When the cup body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11, it can be quickly aligned and installed in the accommodating cavity 11 under the action of the inclined surfaces 1111.

[0054] See Figure 3 The machine body 1 is also provided with an exhaust pipe 15 and a heating element 16. The heating element 16 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11, so that after the cup body 2 is installed in the accommodating chamber 11, the water in the water storage chamber 25 is heated to achieve steaming of the food in the mixing cup 7. One end of the exhaust pipe 15 extends into the accommodating chamber 11 and forms an insert 151; a protrusion 22 is provided on one side of the cup body 2, and a socket 221 is opened on the protrusion 22, and the socket 221 forms a steam outlet; when the cup body 2 is installed in the accommodating chamber 11, the socket 221 is plugged into the insert 151 and the steam outlet is connected to the exhaust pipe 15.

[0055] In this embodiment, the guide groove 21 is abutted against the guide block 111, and the lock column 14 is inserted and locked with the lock groove 321 to ensure that the cup body 2 is firmly installed in the accommodating chamber 11. At the same time, the firmness of the exhaust port and the exhaust pipe 15 after being connected is also ensured. This prevents the cup body 2 from shaking, which causes the exhaust port and the exhaust pipe 15 to separate, and then causes the steam generated by the water in the water storage chamber 25 after heating to overflow from the connection between the exhaust port and the exhaust pipe 15 and condense into water in the accommodating chamber 11 and penetrate into the body 1, causing adverse effects or damage to the internal devices, thereby further improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0056] See Figure 5 A limiting protrusion 23 is also provided on one side of the cup body 2. When the cup body 2 is installed in the accommodating cavity 11, the limiting protrusion 23 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to ensure that the cup body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 and in place.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the cup body 2 is further provided with a handle 24 for users to push and pull.

[0058] To sum up, the positioning and guiding structure of the auxiliary food machine of the present invention adopts radial positioning and axial positioning to achieve precise docking of the cup body 2 and the accommodating cavity 11, and ensures that the cup body 2 is firmly fixed by inserting the lock column 14 into the lock groove 321. This not only prevents the cup body 2 from being misplaced when pushed into the accommodating cavity 11, but also greatly improves the stability of the cup body 2 during the operation of the equipment, effectively avoids the safety hazards caused by the loosening of the cup body 2, and ensures the safety and reliability of the equipment during use.

[0059] The utility model is used for the positioning and guiding structure of the baby food machine. Both guide blocks 111 are provided with inclined surfaces 1111 for guiding, and are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, so as to reduce the excessively high requirements for precision when the guide blocks 111 and the guide grooves 21 are matched, effectively avoiding excessive reliance on high-precision manufacturing, reducing the complexity of the structural design and the manufacturing cost, and ensuring that the guide structure has better production feasibility while maintaining reliable performance.
