Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable juice filtering device manufacturing technology, specifically an electric vegetable machine. Background Technology

[0002] Kimchi is made from fibrous vegetables or fruits through long-term pickling and fermentation. After pickling, kimchi contains a lot of water, and some of the water needs to be squeezed out before eating. The traditional way to squeeze out the water is by hand. However, because kimchi has a high salt content, handling it with bare hands can cause significant damage to the skin, so gloves are usually required, which is quite troublesome.

[0003] A patent application with application number CN201920782382.6 entitled "A Portable Pickled Vegetable Water Pressing Device" discloses a water pressing device, including a pressing cylinder, which is a cylindrical body that runs vertically through the body. The inner wall of the cylinder is evenly provided with several grooves, and the right inner wall of the grooves is evenly provided with several fixing grooves in the vertical direction. A filter screen is horizontally provided on the inner wall of the cylinder between the grooves and the bottom of the pressing cylinder. The bottom of the pressing cylinder is provided with a bottom cover. However, this pressing device still requires manual pressing, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, its structure needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an electric vegetable machine includes a vegetable machine body 1, a container 2 detachably mounted on the vegetable machine body 1, a filter element 3 detachably fitted on the container 2, a housing 4, a drive device 5 electrically connected to a power source 5a disposed within the housing 4, a screw 51 drivingly connected to the drive device 5, a lifting rod 52 screwed onto the screw 51, a pressing plate 53 fixed to the lower end of the lifting rod 52, and a limit detection mechanism connected to the drive device 5 for feedback control disposed within the vegetable machine body 1.

[0031] The aforementioned drive device 5 is preferably a motor. The motor and the screw 51 can be driven by a synchronous belt or by a gear.

[0032] The limit detection mechanism includes a first limit detection mechanism, which includes a contact switch 62 disposed in the chassis 61. A lifting plate 63 is assembled in the chassis 61. The lifting plate 63 is provided with a trigger point 63a that cooperates with the contact switch 62. An elastic element 64 is disposed between the lifting plate 63 and the chassis 61. The contact switch 62 is connected to the drive device 5 for feedback control.

[0033] The limit detection mechanism further includes a second limit detection mechanism, which includes a protrusion 71 disposed on the lifting rod 52 and an upper limit switch 72 and a lower limit switch 73 disposed beside the moving trajectory of the protrusion 71. The feedback control connection is connected to the feedback control connection of the drive device 5.

[0034] The upper end of the housing 4 is provided with a support plate 41.

[0035] The vegetable machine body 1 is provided with an end cover 42 at its upper end, and the end cover 42 is snapped together with the support plate 41.

[0036] In this embodiment, the housing 4 is a thin-walled plastic part, and a support plate 41 is provided to form a support from inside the housing 4, which can improve the strength of the housing 4. The end cap 42 and the housing 4 adopt a separate design, which improves the convenience of assembly.

[0037] The filter element 3 has filter holes 3a on its bottom and sides. This design improves the efficiency of juice filtration.

[0038] The filter element 3 has a flange 31 extending radially outward from its upper end, which supports and engages with the upper edge of the container 2. The flange 31 serves as a limiting element, facilitating the removal of the filter element 3 from the container 2.

[0039] The container 2 is provided with a handle 21. The handle 21 makes it easy to remove the container 2 from the vegetable machine body 1 and also makes it easy to pour out the juice in the container 2.

[0040] The power source 5a is a rechargeable battery, and the vegetable machine body 1 is equipped with a charging port 1a. Using a rechargeable battery as the power source 5a makes it convenient to carry when going out.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] This vegetable maker uses an electric structure. A drive device 5 rotates the screw 51, causing the lifting rod 52, screwed onto the screw 51, to rise and fall. This, in turn, raises and lowers the pressing plate 53 at the lower end of the lifting rod 52. In use, the container 2 is removed from the main body 1 of the vegetable maker. The vegetables to be juiced are placed into the filter element 3 of the container 2. The container 2 is then reattached to the main body 1, and the vegetable maker is started. The drive device 5 activates, causing the pressing plate 53 to descend and squeeze the vegetables in the filter element 3, allowing the juice to be filtered out through the filter holes 3a of the filter element 3. The lifting rod 52 is screwed onto the screw 51, and the two have a certain self-locking force, which provides pressure during the juicing process, making the juicing more effective and faster.

[0043] This utility model of a vegetable machine incorporates a limit detection mechanism, including a first limit detection mechanism and a second limit detection mechanism. The first limit detection mechanism is located within the chassis 61, below the serving cup 2. When the pressing plate 53 descends to filter the juice, the lifting plate 63 descends accordingly. When the trigger point 63a on the lifting plate 63 contacts the contact switch 62, a feedback signal is sent, controlling the drive device 5 to stop working, thus achieving automatic shutdown after juicing and making operation more convenient.

[0044] The second limit detection mechanism senses the position of the protrusion 71 on the lifting rod 52 through the upper limit switch 72 and the lower limit switch 73, controls the drive device 5 to stop working, controls the movement stroke of the lifting rod 52, and prevents the lifting rod 52 from moving beyond the set stroke and being damaged, thus protecting the vegetable machine.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
