Furthermore, the use of food testing mixers requires live operation, which may render them unusable in some workshops without electricity. Utility Model Content

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0035] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] Reference Figure 7 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a connection mechanism, including a fixing unit 100, including a collar 101, a positioning member 102 disposed on the outer wall of the collar 101, and a slot 103 formed on the lower surface of the positioning member 102.
[0038] The positioning unit 200 includes a cover plate 201, a step 202 formed on the top edge of the cover plate 201, a lifting plate 203 disposed on the outer wall of the cover plate 201, an elastic member 204 disposed between the upper surface of the lifting plate 203 and the step 202, a fixing member 205 disposed on the outer wall of the lifting plate 203, and a protrusion 206 disposed on the upper surface of the fixing member 205.
[0039] It should be noted that the fixing unit includes a collar 101, and a positioning member 102 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar 101. A slot 103 is provided on the lower surface of the positioning member 102.
[0040] The positioning unit 200 includes a cover plate 201, which is located directly above the collar 101. A step 202 is provided on the upper edge of the cover plate 201. A lifting plate 203 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the step 202. An elastic member 204 is provided between the top of the inner wall of the lifting plate 203 and the upper surface of the step 202. A fixing member 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting plate 203. A protrusion 206 that matches the slot 103 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing member 205.
[0041] In use, place the cover plate 201 directly above the collar 101, offset the fixing member 205 and the positioning member 102, cover the collar 101 with the cover plate 201, then press down on the lifting plate 203 to lower the fixing member 205 below the positioning member 102, then rotate the lifting plate 203 to move the fixing member 205 directly below the positioning member 102, and at this time the protrusion 206 is aligned with the slot 103. Slowly release the lifting plate 203, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 204, the lifting plate 203 rises, causing the fixing member 205 and the positioning member 102 to engage, and the protrusion 206 is embedded in the slot 103.
[0042] In summary, by setting an elastic locking component and providing a fitting protrusion 206 and a slot 103 between the locking components, the connection mechanism can be prevented from rotating after the two are engaged. Compared with conventional connection methods, this structure has a simple connection method and can seal the connection point. When breaking, there is no need to press and seal.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] Reference Figure 7 In a second embodiment of the present invention, a limiting component 300 is further provided, including a slide rail 301 disposed on the outer wall of the step 202, a limiting block 302 disposed on the top of the slide rail 301, and a groove 303 formed on the inner side of the lifting plate 203.
[0045] The groove 303 is adapted to the outer wall of the slide rail 301 and the limiting block 302.
[0046] It should be noted that the limiting component 300 includes a slide rail 301 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the step 202, and a limiting block 302 fixedly connected to the top of the slide rail 301. The limiting block 302 is a triangular protrusion. A groove 303 adapted to the slide rail 301 and the limiting block 302 is provided on the inner side of the lifting plate 203. The groove 303 enables the lifting plate 203 to slide linearly on the step 202, but it will not fall off the step 202.
[0047] In use, the lifting plate 203 moves linearly on the slide rail 301 through the groove 303, and the limiting block 302 set on the top of the slide rail 301 is a triangular protrusion, which restricts the top of the lifting plate 203 and prevents it from sliding off the step 202.
[0048] In summary, by setting a slide rail 301 on the step 202, the slide rail 301 can not only provide a lifting path for the lifting plate 203, but also restrict the lifting plate 203 through the limit block 302 set at the top, preventing the lifting plate 203 from falling off the step 202.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] Referring to 7, in a second embodiment of the present invention, a limiting component 300 is further provided, including a slide bar disposed on the upper surface of the step 202 and a limiting piece disposed on the top of the slide bar;
[0051] The slide bar and the lifting plate 203 are slidably connected.
[0052] It should be noted that the limiting component 300 includes a slide rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the step 202, and a limiting piece is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod. The slide rod and the lifting plate 203 are slidably connected, and the limiting piece is located above the lifting plate 203.
[0053] In use, the lifting plate 203 is slidably connected to the slide rod and moves linearly along the slide rod. A limit plate is provided at the top of the slide rod to restrict the top of the lifting plate 203 and prevent it from sliding off the step 202.
[0054] In summary, by setting a sliding rod on the step 202, the sliding rod can not only provide a lifting path for the lifting plate 203, but also restrict the lifting plate 203 through the limiting plate set at the top, preventing the lifting plate 203 from falling off the step 202.
[0055] Unlike Embodiment 2, during prolonged use, the lifting plate 203 exerts a pushing force on the slide bar during disassembly, which can cause the slide bar to tilt over time, resulting in uneven lifting of the lifting plate 203 and, in severe cases, jamming.

[0068] It should be noted that the switching component 506 includes a transmission wheel 506a rotatably mounted on the top of the rotating rod 501, a connecting column 506c fixedly connected to the cover plate 201, and a driven wheel 506b rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 506c. There are two sets of driven wheels 506b, which are located directly below the mechanical drive component 504 and the manual drive component 505, respectively. The transmission wheel 506a and the driven wheel 506b are driven by a transmission belt 506d.
[0069] Furthermore, the first connecting assembly 507 includes a first bolt 507a threaded onto the top of the housing 503, a first insert 507b disposed at the output end of the motor 504b, and a first slot 507c opened on the top of the corresponding driven wheel 506b;
[0070] The bottom of the first bolt 507a is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 504a.
[0071] It should be noted that the first connecting assembly 507 includes a first bolt 507a that is threadedly connected to the top of the housing 503. The bottom end of the first bolt 507a is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 504a. The output end of the motor 504b is fixedly connected to the first insert rod 507b. A first slot 507c that is adapted to the first insert rod 507b is provided on the driven wheel 506b below the first insert rod 507b.
[0072] Furthermore, the second connecting assembly 508 includes a second bolt 508a threaded onto the top of the housing 503, a pin 508b rotatably disposed at the bottom end of the second bolt 508a, and a second slot 508c opened on the top of the corresponding driven wheel 506b;
[0073] Pin 508b slides through rotating disc 505c and coil 505d.
[0074] It should be noted that the second connection 508 includes a second bolt 508a threaded to the top of the housing 503. The bottom end of the second bolt 508a is rotatably connected to a pin 508b. The pin 508b passes through the rotating disk 505c and the coil 505d. A second slot 508c adapted to the pin 508b is provided on the top of the driven wheel 506b below the pin 508b.
[0075] When in use, place the food to be tested into the mixing drum 401, then place the cover plate 201 directly above the mixing drum 401, align the rotating rod 501 and the positioning block 402, close the cover plate 201, and rotate the lifting plate 203 to close the cover plate 201 and the mixing drum 401.
[0076] When the equipment is powered on normally: tightening the first bolt 507a causes the mounting plate 504a to move downward linearly. When the mounting plate 504a moves downward, the first insert rod 507b is inserted into the first slot 507c, thus connecting the mechanical drive component 504 and the rotating rod 501. The motor 504b is started, and its output end drives the driven wheel 506b to rotate. The driven wheel 506b drives the transmission wheel 506a to rotate through the transmission belt 506d. The transmission wheel 506a drives the rotating rod 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the blade 502 to crush and mix the food in the mixing drum 401.
[0077] When the working area of the equipment is without power, the first insertion rod 507b is pulled out of the first slot 507c by reversing the first bolt 507a. Then, the second bolt 508a is turned, causing the pin 508b to move downwards and insert into the second slot 508c, thus connecting the manual drive assembly 505 and the rotating rod 501. Pulling the pull ring 505f drives the coil 505d to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 505c to rotate. The rotating disk 505c then engages the coil spring 505b. Finally, pulling is stopped. Ring 505f, under the action of coil spring 505b, causes rotating disk 505c to rotate in the opposite direction, driving connecting rope 505e to rewind onto reel 505d. Then, by repeatedly pulling ring 505f, rotating disk 505c will drive pin 508b to rotate, driving driven wheel 506b to rotate. Driven wheel 506b drives drive wheel 506a to rotate via drive belt 506d. Drive wheel 506a drives rotating rod 501 to rotate, thereby driving blade 502 to crush and mix food in mixing drum 401.
[0078] In summary, by switching the food testing mixer to both electric and manual modes, it can achieve crushing and mixing when there is electricity in the testing area, and it can also perform crushing and mixing when there is no electricity. It can achieve mixing work in a variety of working environments and solve the problem of working without electricity, so it can be carried to workshops without electricity for crushing and mixing food.
