[0026] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a spice grinder, including a grinding base 1 and a grinding head 2. The top of the grinding base 1 is recessed inward to form a grinding groove 11, which is used to hold the spices to be ground. The grinding head 2 is movably disposed within the grinding groove 11 and is used to grind the spices within the grinding groove 11. In addition, a pad 3 is movably disposed at the bottom of the grinding base 1, and multiple through holes 15 are provided at the bottom of the grinding groove 11 to collect the ground spices on the pad 3, which not only avoids residue and waste inside the spice grinder but also simplifies subsequent collection and transfer work.
[0028] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the grinding base 1 is recessed inward to form a collection groove 12. The collection groove 12 is disposed opposite to the grinding groove 11, and the opening of the collection groove 12 faces the gasket 3. The grinding groove 11 is connected to the collection groove 12 through the through hole 15. When the grinding head 2 performs fine grinding on the fragrance in the grinding groove 11, the powder and debris generated will fall into the collection groove 12 along the guide of the through hole 15, avoiding the scattering and waste of the fragrance during the grinding process.
[0029] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the grinding base 1 includes a base head 13 and a base tail 14 connected to the base head 13. The grinding groove 11 is disposed on the base head 13 to ensure that it can accommodate and guide the grinding head 2 to perform efficient and fine grinding operations. At the same time, the collecting groove 12 is disposed on the base tail 14 so that it can efficiently collect the spices ground from the grinding groove 11. The opening of the collecting groove 12 faces the pad 3, which facilitates the guidance of the ground spices to the pad 3 during the grinding process, and facilitates the collection and transfer of spices.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the base head 13 is hemispherical and the base tail 14 is cylindrical. The base head 13 has a large end and a small end, which are arranged opposite to each other. The small end is connected to the base tail 14. The diameter of the base head 13 is larger than the bottom diameter of the base tail 14. When grinding spices, the user holds the base tail 14 to grind. Due to the larger diameter of the base head 13, the user's hand is restrained, reducing the tipping of the grinding base 1 during grinding, thereby reducing spice spillage and waste, and further improving grinding efficiency and user experience. In addition, the pad 3 is cylindrical, and the bottom radius of the pad 3 is larger than the bottom diameter of the base tail 14, which can effectively expand the support area of the pad 3, thereby enhancing its stability during the grinding process. When the ground spices slide from the collection groove 12 of the base tail 14 onto the pad 3, the larger bottom radius of the pad 3 can provide a wider contact surface, preventing the spices from overflowing or spilling due to excessive local pressure. In addition, the larger bottom radius of the pad 3 helps to disperse the impact force that may be generated during the grinding process, protecting the pad 3 itself and any containers or surfaces that may be placed underneath it from damage.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the grinding head 2 is hemispherical and includes a first arc-shaped surface 21 and a flat surface 22. The inner wall of the grinding groove 11 is a second arc-shaped surface 111. The first arc-shaped surface 21 and the second arc-shaped surface 111 are adapted to each other, so that when the grinding head 2 rotates or moves, the first arc-shaped surface 21 can seamlessly fit on the second arc-shaped surface 111, and the first arc-shaped surface 21 can make uniform contact along the second arc-shaped surface 111, thereby achieving fine grinding of the fragrance. In addition, the mutual adaptation between the first arc-shaped surface 21 of the grinding head 2 and the second arc-shaped surface 111 of the grinding groove 11 not only reduces the frictional resistance during the grinding process, but also ensures the uniform distribution of grinding force, so that the fragrance can be finely ground under all-round action. In addition, the materials of the grinding base 1 and the grinding head 2 can be selected from high-hardness and wear-resistant materials to ensure that excellent grinding effect can still be maintained under long-term use.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the flat surface 22 is disposed on the top of the first arc-shaped surface 21, and the edge of the flat surface 22 is connected to the first arc-shaped surface 21. When the grinding head 2 is disposed in the grinding groove 11, the flat surface 22 is flush with the top surface of the grinding base 1, which ensures the stability and accuracy of the grinding head 2 during the grinding process and improves the efficiency of spice grinding and product quality.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a grinding handle 23 is provided on the flat surface 22. When grinding spices, the operator holds the grinding handle 23 to grind. The grinding handle 23 ensures that the operator's hand receives good support and feedback, reducing hand fatigue and improving grinding efficiency. In addition, the grinding handle 23 is located in the middle of the flat surface 22, ensuring that the grinding head 2 is subjected to balanced force during grinding. This ensures that a stable and efficient grinding trajectory is maintained regardless of the operator's posture or force, avoiding uneven grinding or low efficiency caused by positional deviation. It also makes it easy for both left- and right-handed operators to use, without needing to adjust their stance or posture to grind spices. Furthermore, the grinding handle 23 is cylindrical, which facilitates applying force to the grinding handle 23 to rotate the grinding head 2 along the grinding groove 11, thus making it easy for the operator to hold and grind spices.
[0034] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the center distance between two adjacent through holes 15 at the bottom of the grinding groove 11 is equal, so that the fragrance powder or particles in the grinding groove 11 fall evenly onto the gasket 3. Of course, in actual design, the distribution of the through holes 15 can be designed according to actual needs.
[0035] When using this invention, first place the spice bag to be ground into the grinding chamber of the grinding base 1, then place the grinding head 2 into the grinding chamber, and hold the grinding handle 23 to rotate the grinding head 2 inside the grinding chamber. As the grinding head 2 rotates back and forth in the grinding chamber, the spice is gradually ground into a fine powder. As the spice is ground into a fine powder, the spice powder or particles will fall into the collection chamber through the through hole 15 of the grinding chamber and collect on the bottom tray. That is, the spice powder or particles generated during the grinding process can fall smoothly through the through hole 15 onto the pad 3. The pad 3 directly receives the ground spice, simplifying the subsequent transfer process. The user only needs to lift the grinding base 1 and remove the pad 3 to transfer the ground spice to the desired container, reducing spice residue inside the grinder, reducing spice waste, and helping to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen.
