Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a food processor, in particular to a dual-power food processor. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the accelerated pace of work, food processors are becoming increasingly popular in homes and the restaurant industry. They enable users to quickly and efficiently process a variety of ingredients and have become a vital appliance in the kitchen. Existing food processors typically offer multiple functions, such as cutting, blending, and chopping, to meet diverse cooking needs.

[0003] Dual-powered food processors are gaining increasing attention in the prior art. These machines typically feature two cutting units, enabling multi-directional cutting operations while processing food, thereby improving food processing efficiency. However, most prior art dual-powered food processors suffer from significant drawbacks and deficiencies.

[0004] Currently, common dual-powered food processors typically use a single motor to drive both upper and lower cutting units. To enable the two cutting units to work together, the device often incorporates a complex linkage mechanism. This linkage design leads to the following major issues:

[0005] 1. Complex linkage mechanisms increase power loss: When a single motor drives two cutting units, a linkage mechanism is required to transmit the motor's power to the upper and lower cutting units. These linkages typically include multiple gears, bearings, and transmission devices. The friction and energy conversion between these components inevitably lead to power loss, reducing the device's efficiency. Furthermore, due to the linkage mechanism, the motor's output power cannot be fully utilized for the cutting operation, affecting the overall performance of the food processor.

[0006] 2. Complex and bulky device structure: To achieve these linkage functions, existing food processors require complex mechanical designs. These structures not only occupy a large internal space, resulting in bulky devices, but also increase manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties. Users may also face issues such as difficult cleaning and replacement of damaged parts.

[0007] Therefore, the dual-power food processor in the prior art has great deficiencies in power transmission, equipment volume, operational stability, etc., because the upper and lower cutting groups are driven by the same motor and require a complex linkage mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements thereto. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a dual-power food cooking machine with a simple structure and easy use. By optimizing the driving structure, the complexity of the linkage mechanism is reduced, thereby effectively reducing power loss, improving the working efficiency and stability of the equipment, and reducing the size of the equipment.

[0009] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in the following manner: a dual-power food processor, comprising a main unit, an interior of the main unit having a receiving chamber, a cutting assembly installed in the receiving chamber, an inlet of the cutting assembly connected to a feeding funnel at the top of the main unit, and an outlet of the cutting assembly connected to a discharge port at the bottom of the main unit;

[0010] The cutting assembly includes an upper cutting group A and a lower cutting group B that are staggered and connected. The feeding funnel is connected to the upper cutting group A, which cuts the food horizontally and then feeds it into the lower cutting group B, which cuts the food vertically. The finished product is discharged from the discharge port.

[0011] Among them, the upper cutting group A and the lower cutting group B both include a cutting shell, and the first knife group and the second knife group are installed in the hollow interior of the cutting shell. The first knife group and the second knife group are connected to the gear box, and the gear box is driven by a driving motor to move, and the gear box drives the first knife group and the second knife group to rotate.

[0012] The first knife group and the second knife group both include a fixed blade and a movable blade stacked in sequence, the fixed blade is fixed to the cutting shell, the movable blade is fixedly mounted on the knife shaft, the knife shaft is connected to the output shaft of the gear box, and the gear box drives the movable blade to rotate relative to the fixed blade through the knife shaft.

[0013] Furthermore: the gear box includes mutually meshing drive teeth, wherein one drive tooth is connected to the first knife group, and the other drive tooth is connected to the second knife group, and the drive motor is connected to one of the drive teeth and drives it to rotate.

[0014] Furthermore, the first knife group and the second knife group are installed in a staggered manner.

[0015] Furthermore: the driving motor is connected to a reduction box, and the output shaft of the reduction box is connected to the gear box.

[0016] Furthermore: the side wall of the reduction box is covered with a motor cover, and the motor cover covers the driving motor therein.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: 1. Simple structure, low production cost and improved market competitiveness.

[0018] 2. The cutting assembly in this utility model is composed of two cutting groups, upper and lower, which are driven by gear boxes respectively. By rationally designing the connection between the gear box and the drive motor, the power is directly transmitted to the cutting group, avoiding the complex linkage mechanism and reducing the energy loss in the power transmission process. This not only improves the working efficiency of the equipment, but also makes full use of the output power of the motor, thereby increasing the efficiency of the machine.

[0019] Enhanced cutting effect.

[0020] 3. Traditional dual-powered food processors are often bulky and complex due to the presence of linkage mechanisms. However, this new design, in which two cutting units are driven by separate gearboxes, eliminates the linkage mechanism, making the internal structure of the device more compact. This reduction in the number of transmission devices significantly reduces the size of the device, saving kitchen space while also lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance.

[0026] The present invention is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. A dual-power food processor includes a main unit 1, an interior of which is provided with a receiving chamber 2, a cutting assembly mounted within the receiving chamber 2, an inlet of the cutting assembly connected to a feed hopper 3 at the top of the main unit 1, and an outlet of the cutting assembly connected to a discharge port 12 at the bottom of the main unit 1;

[0027] The cutting assembly includes an upper cutting group A and a lower cutting group B that are staggered and connected. The feeding funnel 3 is connected to the upper cutting group A, cuts the food horizontally and then feeds it into the lower cutting group B, which cuts the food vertically. The finished product is discharged from the discharge port 12.

[0028] Among them, the upper cutting group A and the lower cutting group B both include a cutting shell 4, and the first knife group and the second knife group are installed in the hollow interior of the cutting shell 4. The first knife group and the second knife group are connected to the gear box, and the gear box is driven by the drive motor 5 to move, and the gear box drives the first knife group and the second knife group to rotate.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first knife group and the second knife group both include a fixed blade 6 and a movable blade 7 stacked in sequence, the fixed blade 6 is fixed to the cutting shell 4, the movable blade 7 is fixedly mounted on the knife shaft 8, the knife shaft 8 is connected to the output shaft of the gear box, and the gear box drives the movable blade 7 to rotate relative to the fixed blade 6 through the knife shaft 8.

[0030] In one embodiment, the gearbox includes mutually meshing drive teeth 9, wherein one drive tooth 9 is connected to the first knife group, and the other drive tooth 9 is connected to the second knife group, and the drive motor 5 is connected to one of the drive teeth 9 and drives it to rotate.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first knife group and the second knife group are installed with a 90° offset.

[0032] In one embodiment, the driving motor 5 is connected to a reduction box 10 , and the output shaft of the reduction box 10 is connected to a gear box.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side wall of the reduction box 10 is covered with a motor cover 11 , and the motor cover 11 covers the driving motor 5 therein.

[0034] Working Principle: When food is fed through the feed hopper 3 at the top of the main unit 1, it first enters the upper cutting unit A located within the accommodating chamber 2. This upper cutting unit A is mounted within the cutting housing 4 and comprises a set of staggered, stacked fixed blades 6 and movable blades 7. A drive motor 5 transmits power to the gearbox via a reduction gear 10. Drive gears 9 in the gearbox transmit the power to the blade shaft 8 of the upper cutting unit A, driving the movable blade 7 to rotate relative to the fixed blade 6, achieving transverse cutting of the food.

[0035] Furthermore, the cut ingredients continue downward under the influence of gravity, entering the lower cutting unit B. The structure and operating principle of the lower cutting unit B are similar to those of the upper cutting unit A, also including a fixed blade 6 and a movable blade 7. However, unlike the upper cutting unit, the lower cutting unit B is offset 90° relative to the upper cutting unit A. Therefore, at this stage, the ingredients are cut vertically. This offset installation of the upper and lower cutting units ensures a thorough cut of the ingredients, evenly dividing them into smaller pieces, achieving the desired cooking effect.

[0036] After cutting, the food is directly discharged through the discharge port of the lower cutting group B, and the finished product is discharged from the leakage port 12 at the bottom of the main body 1. The entire cutting process is carried out in a closed cavity, ensuring the safety of operation and the hygiene of food.

[0037] In this application, a drive motor directly drives the upper and lower cutting groups through a gearbox, avoiding the power loss caused by the complex linkage mechanism in traditional food processors. This design improves power transmission efficiency, allowing the motor output power to be more fully utilized in the cutting operation, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, by eliminating the complex linkage mechanism found in traditional designs, the entire food processor structure is simplified, significantly reducing the size of the device. This not only saves kitchen space, but also reduces manufacturing costs and makes the device easier to clean and maintain.

[0039] To sum up, the dual-power food processor of the present invention not only achieves efficient and stable food processing through an optimized working principle, but also has significant advantages such as simple structure, high power transmission efficiency, and convenient operation, which greatly improves the performance of the processor and user experience.

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.
