Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processors, in particular to a food processor structure with three-speed output. Background Art
[0002] In existing kitchen food processors, users' demands for more diverse food preparation methods have led to the emergence of various types of food processors, such as meat grinders, slicers, and orange grinders. To reduce user costs and storage space, manufacturers often integrate a single main unit with various function-rich food processors, reducing the number of main units and user costs.
[0003] Based on the above, different cooking cups require different speeds for different food preparations. Existing main units rely on the user to select different operating modes on the main unit's control panel when switching between speeds, and the motor then adjusts power output accordingly. This operation method is overly cumbersome, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, as it requires time to learn. Therefore, existing main units cannot coordinate power output with different cooking cups installed, and further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] See also Figures 1-8 A food processor structure with three-speed output includes a machine base 10, the upper surface of the machine base 10 is provided with a joint area 100, a drive motor 20 is provided in the machine base 10, the motor shaft of the drive motor 20 is connected to a dual-output gearbox 30, the dual-output gearbox 30 is provided with a first output coupler 310 and a second output coupler 320, the first output coupler 310 and the second output coupler 320 are located in the joint area 100, a sensor 430 for paired sensing with a sensing element 620 is provided in the joint area 100, and a control circuit board connected to the drive motor 20 and the sensor 430 respectively is provided in the machine base 10.
[0027] In the above embodiment, the first and second output couplers are configured so that different cups can be connected to different output couplers during assembly, thereby providing two speed outputs. Furthermore, in conjunction with the sensor, when the cups are assembled into the joint area and the sensor is triggered, the third output speed mode is activated, allowing for simultaneous power output selection during assembly without manual intervention. This utility model optimizes operation, reduces manual effort, and better meets user needs.
[0028] In the present invention, the first speed output by the drive motor 20 is converted by the dual-output gearbox 30 into two speed outputs, which are outputted by the first output coupler 310 and the second output coupler 320, respectively. When the sensor 430 is paired with the sensing element 620, the drive motor 20 switches to the second speed, and the speed outputs are outputted by the first output coupler 310 and the second output coupler 320.
[0029] See also Figures 6 to 8The base 10 is detachably connected to a first food processing cup 60. A sensing element 620 is disposed on the bottom surface of the first food processing cup 60 for pairing with the sensor 430. A first transmission shaft 640 is rotatably mounted on the first food processing cup 60. A first transmission coupler 650 is disposed at the lower end of the first transmission shaft 640 for coupling with the second output coupler 320. A first cutting element 660 is disposed at the upper end of the first transmission shaft 640.
[0030] Furthermore, the sensing element 620 is a magnet, and the sensor 430 is a Hall sensor.
[0031] Furthermore, the first cutter element 660 is an orange cutter.
[0032] See also Figure 7 The first food processing cup 60 is supported by a movable frame 670, which allows it to move up and down. The first transmission shaft 640 is rotatably mounted on the movable frame 670. A first elastic element connects the movable frame 670 and the first food processing cup 60. This allows the user to hold half an orange and press it against the orange cutter. This downward pressure drives the first transmission shaft 640 downward, causing the first transmission coupler 650 to move downward and engage with the second output coupler 320, achieving power transmission.
[0033] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 The movable frame 670 is provided with a trigger pin 630, and the base 10 is provided with a first safety switch 420 that is paired with the trigger pin 630 to trigger. As the movable frame 670 moves downward, it drives the trigger pin 630 downward until the trigger pin 630 contacts the first safety switch 420, thereby triggering the switch. Upon receiving the electrical signal, the control circuit board controls the drive motor 20 to start.

The second transmission shaft 510 is provided with a second transmission coupler 520 coupled to the first output coupler 310. The second transmission shaft 510 is connected to a first blade shaft 530. The first blade shaft 530 is connected to a second tool element 540.

The third transmission shaft 710 is provided with a third transmission coupler 740 coupled to the second output coupler 320 for transmission. The third transmission shaft 710 is transmission-connected to a second blade shaft 720, and the second blade shaft 720 is connected to a third tool element 730.

In this embodiment, the joint area 100 is provided with a screw-on structure, which is screwed to the first, second, or third food cups 60, 50, or 70.
