Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a food processing machine that can store cutting tools. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, their demands for products are also increasing. Especially when using food processors such as juicers, blenders, and food processors, different ingredients require different processing methods and techniques. Consumers often hope that food processors can combine specific processing techniques to produce food that better meets their expectations. For example, in juicing and ice crushing, the blades used for juicing are often sharper, able to quickly cut fruit and chop it into small particles or pulp, which helps to extract juice more effectively and reduce pulp residue. On the other hand, the blades used for ice crushing need to have stronger crushing power and are thicker or have special designs (such as horn blade sets) to increase impact force and crushing effect, quickly breaking ice into small particles or powder. Therefore, traditional food processors with only a single type of blade cannot meet consumer needs. Simply adding grinding cups with different types of blades would lead to a significant increase in production costs. Therefore, adding different types of blades and then optimizing the blades according to the function to be performed in the food processor has become the optimal development trend.
[0003] However, with the addition of different types of knives, the number of knives attached to food processing machines has increased, and the storage of unused knives has become a concern for customers. Knives are small in size and have a certain degree of sharpness. If they are exposed directly, they can easily pose a safety hazard to users. If the knives are stored separately, they are prone to being lost. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This application discloses a food processor capable of storing knives. This food processor can store unused knives, preventing them from being lost or exposed, thus avoiding safety hazards to users. In some embodiments, the food processor capable of storing knives includes a main unit 1, a drawer support 2, and a drawer box 3. Preferably, the drawer support 2 is mounted on the main unit 1 and has a drawer cavity 21 with an opening 22 on one side. The drawer box 3 has a storage cavity 31 for storing knives, and the drawer box 3 can move along the opening 22 to extend out of the drawer cavity 21, or be housed within the drawer cavity 21. Thus, by moving the drawer box 3 along the opening 22 to extend out of the drawer cavity 21, users can easily place knives in the storage cavity 31 of the drawer box 3, and then house the drawer box 3 containing the knives within the drawer cavity 21. This effectively stores the knives in the main unit 1, preventing loss or exposure, and facilitating easy access for the user.
[0031] See Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, a locking assembly 4 is also included, which includes a first locking member 41 and a second locking member 42. The first locking member 41 is fitted to the inner wall of the drawer cavity 21 on the side away from the opening 22, and the second locking member 42 is fitted to the side of the drawer box 3 that extends into the drawer cavity 21. The first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 cooperate to define the position of the drawer box 3 in the drawer cavity 21. Optionally, the first locking element 41 can be a latch, and the second locking element 42 can be a hook. The hook can be pressed into the latch, causing the latch to lock the hook. When the hook is pushed again, the latch unlocks the hook. Thus, when the drawer box 3 is pushed into the drawer cavity 21, the second locking element 42 follows the drawer box 3 into the drawer cavity 21 and is pressed into the first locking element 41, causing the first locking element 41 and the second locking element 42 to lock together, thereby locking the drawer box 3 in the drawer cavity 21. When it is necessary to extend the drawer box 3 out of the drawer cavity 21, the drawer box 3 is pressed again to push the second locking element 42, causing the first locking element 41 and the second locking element 42 to unlock each other, allowing the user to pull the drawer box 3 out of the drawer cavity 21. Optionally, the push assembly 5 drives the drawer box 3 to move along the opening 22 by a stroke of 10mm-20mm. Optionally, the first locking member 41 can be an elastic lock, such as an elephant trunk lock, and the second locking member 42 is a locking hook. When the second locking member 42 and the first locking member 41 are unlocked, the first locking member 41 can drive the drawer box 3 to move along the opening 22, so that the drawer box 3 moves a certain distance along the opening 22. That is, the drawer box 3 extends a certain distance out of the drawer cavity 21 under the action of the first locking member 41, making it easier for the user to find the point of force to pull out the drawer box 3.
[0032] See Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, a pushing component 5 is also included, which is fitted to the inner wall of the drawer cavity 21 on the side away from the opening 22, for driving the drawer box 3 to move along the direction of the opening 22. Optionally, the pushing component 5 can be an electric device, such as an electric push rod, cylinder, cam structure, etc. When the second locking member 42 and the first locking member 41 are unlocked, the pushing component 5 pushes the drawer box 3 to move the drawer box 3 along the direction of the opening 22, thereby extending it a certain distance out of the drawer cavity 21, making it easier for the user to find the point of force to pull out the drawer box 3. Optionally, the pushing component 5 can be composed of elastic elements. In this way, when the user pushes the drawer box 3 into the drawer cavity 21, the pushing component 5 abuts against the drawer box 3 and is compressed. When the second locking member 42 and the first locking member 41 are unlocked, the pushing component 5 undergoes a restoring deformation, thereby pushing the drawer box 3 to move along the direction of the opening 22, so that the drawer box 3 extends a certain distance out of the drawer cavity 21 through the opening 22, making it easier for the user to pull out the drawer box 3.
[0033] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the pushing assembly 5 includes a pushing rod sleeve 51, an auxiliary pushing rod 52, and a pushing spring 53; the pushing rod sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drawer cavity 21 on the side away from the opening 22; the auxiliary pushing rod 52 includes a pushing section 521 that movably passes through the pushing rod sleeve 51, the end of the pushing section 521 near the drawer box 3 is connected to an abutment section 522, and the end of the pushing section 521 away from the drawer box 3 is connected to a limiting section 523. The limiting section 523 is provided with a first limiting block 524. The end of the first limiting block 524 near the drawer box 3 abuts against a second limiting block 511. The second limiting block 511 is fixedly connected to the push rod sleeve 51. The push spring 53 is sleeved on the push section 521. The end of the push spring 53 near the drawer box 3 abuts against the abutting section 522. The end of the push spring 53 away from the drawer box 3 abuts against the second limiting block 511.Optionally, the pushing section 521, the abutting section 522, and the limiting section 523 are integrally formed to give the auxiliary push rod 52 better strength; optionally, the outer diameter of the abutting section 522 is larger than that of the pushing section 521, so that the abutting section 522 and the second limiting block 511 can jointly limit the pushing spring 53 on the pushing section 521, and increase the contact area between the auxiliary push rod 52 and the drawer box 3 to prevent stress concentration and damage to components; optionally, the limiting section 523 and the pushing section All 521 sections are movably inserted into the push rod sleeve 51. Optionally, the push section 521 is movably inserted into the push rod sleeve 51, and the limiting section 523 passes through the push rod sleeve 51 and extends out of the drawer cavity 21. Preferably, when the drawer box 3 is pushed into the drawer cavity 21, the abutting section 522 abuts against the drawer box 3 and pushes the abutting section 522 towards the second limiting block 511 to reduce the distance between the abutting section 522 and the second limiting block 511, thereby driving the push spring 53 to be in a position where... In the compressed state, until the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 interlock, thereby locking the drawer box 3 in the drawer cavity 21; further, when the abutting section 522 moves towards the second limiting block 511, the limiting section 523 simultaneously drives the first limiting block 524 to move away from the second limiting block 511, and can extend out of the drawer cavity 21, so as to make full use of the spare space of the main unit 1 for movement, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the push rod sleeve 51. When the push rod sleeve 51 is pressed again, the drawer box 3 is locked in the drawer cavity 21. When the drawer box 3 is in operation, and the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 unlock each other, the push spring 53 restores its deformation, pushing the abutting section 522 to move along the opening 22. The abutting section 522 pushes the drawer box 3 to move along the opening 22. At the same time, the limiting section 523 drives the first limiting block 524 to move towards the second limiting block 511, and the first limiting block 524 abuts against the second limiting block 511 to limit the distance by which the drawer box 3 extends out of the drawer cavity 21 through the opening 22.
[0034] See Figure 7In some embodiments, an elastic clearance groove 525 is also included, which is formed in the limiting section 523. Thus, when the first limiting block 524 and the second limiting block 511 collide, the clearance groove on the limiting section 523 can be used for shock absorption and buffering, preventing excessive impact force from damaging the first limiting block 524 and / or the second limiting block 511, thereby improving the service life of the components. Furthermore, when assembling the auxiliary push rod 52, the limiting section 523 can deform using the space of the elastic clearance groove 525, allowing the limiting section 523 with the first limiting block 524 to pass through the push rod sleeve 51, improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the auxiliary push rod 52.
[0035] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a pushing groove 32 is provided on the side of the drawer box 3 that extends into the drawer cavity 21, and the second locking member 42 is assembled in the pushing groove 32. Preferably, by assembling the second locking member 42 in the pushing groove 32, the assembly position of the second locking member 42 is relatively stable, effectively avoiding external interference with the second locking member 42, making it less likely for the second locking member 42 to loosen or fall off. Furthermore, when the drawer box 3 is accommodated in the drawer cavity 21, the first locking member 41 can enter the pushing groove 32 and lock with the second locking member 42, thereby making full use of the spare space and effectively reducing the space occupied by the drawer cavity 21.
[0036] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a pushing rib 33 is provided within the pushing groove 32, and the pushing assembly 5 is disposed opposite to the pushing rib 33. Thus, by utilizing the opposing arrangement of the pushing rib 33 within the pushing groove 32 and the pushing assembly 5, when the drawer box 3 is accommodated in the drawer cavity 21, the pushing rib 33 abuts against the abutting section 522 of the auxiliary push rod 52. This causes the pushing rib 33 of the pushing groove 32 to serve both as a load-bearing structure and to improve the overall strength of the pushing groove 32 and the drawer box 3, thereby optimizing the internal structure of the drawer box 3.
[0037] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, a drawer guide rail 23 is also included. The drawer guide rail 23 extends along the opening 22 and is disposed in the drawer cavity 21. The outer wall of the drawer box 3 is provided with a guide step 34, which is slidably connected to the drawer guide rail 23. Thus, the guide step 34 and the drawer guide rail 23 cooperate to guide the drawer box 3 with the guide step 34, allowing the drawer box 3 to move smoothly along the opening 22. This avoids shaking or jamming when pushing or pulling the drawer box 3, thereby improving comfort and stability. Optionally, the drawer guide rail 23 is disposed on the opposite inner walls of the drawer cavity 21; more preferably, the drawer guide rail 23 is disposed on the left and right inner walls of the drawer cavity 21, further optimizing the stability of the drawer box 3's movement.
[0038] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a limiting groove 24 is further included. The limiting groove 24 extends along the opening 22 and is disposed on the top of the drawer cavity 21. A limiting member 35 is disposed on the top of the drawer box 3, and the limiting member 35 is movably connected in the limiting groove 24. In this way, when the drawer box 3 moves, the limiting member 35 can move synchronously with the drawer box 3 in the limiting groove 24, so as to limit the limiting member 35 by the limiting groove 24, preventing the drawer box 3 from being directly pulled out from the drawer support 2, causing the drawer support 2 to separate from the drawer box 3. Optionally, the limiting member 35 can be a protruding structure or a snap-fit structure that cooperates with the limiting groove 24.
[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the main unit 1 includes a supporting base shell 11, and the drawer bracket 2 is detachably connected to the supporting base shell 11. Optionally, the supporting base shell 11 has an assembly cavity, and the drawer bracket 2 is detachably assembled into the assembly cavity by bolts or other fasteners, so that the drawer bracket 2 can be accommodated within the supporting base shell 11, avoiding the drawer bracket 2 increasing the space occupied by the main unit 1. Furthermore, a notch is provided on one side of the assembly cavity, and the opening 22 is located in the notch, so that when the drawer box 3 moves along the direction of the opening 22, it can pass through the opening 22 and the notch and extend to the outside, making it convenient for the user to take out and put away knives.
[0040] See Figures 1-7In some embodiments, the drawer support 2 is detachably mounted inside the main unit 1, and the drawer box 3 is movably mounted inside the drawer cavity 21 of the drawer support 2. The top of the drawer box 3 is provided with a storage cavity 31 for storing knives. The user can place unused knives in the storage cavity 31 of the drawer box 3, and then push the drawer box 3 containing the knives into the drawer cavity 21, causing the drawer box 3 to move along the drawer guide rail 23. During the process of the drawer box 3 entering the drawer cavity 21, the abutting section 522 abuts against the drawer box 3 and pushes the abutting section 522 towards the second limiting block 511 to reduce the distance between the abutting section 522 and the second limiting block 511, thereby driving the push spring 53 into a compressed state until the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 lock each other, thereby locking the drawer box 3 in the drawer cavity 21. When it is necessary to take out the knives, press again. Pressing the drawer box 3 causes the first locking member 41 and the second locking member 42 to unlock each other. The push spring 53 returns to its original shape, pushing the abutment section 522 to move along the opening 22. The abutment section 522 pushes the drawer box 3 to move along the opening 22. At the same time, the limiting section 523 drives the first limiting block 524 to move towards the second limiting block 511, and the first limiting block 524 abuts against the second limiting block 511 to limit the drawer box 3 to extend 10mm-20mm out of the drawer cavity 21 through the opening 22, so that the user can pull the drawer box 3 out of the drawer cavity 21. Under the user's pull, the drawer box 3 moves again along the drawer guide rail 23. At the same time, the limiting member 35 moves synchronously with the drawer box 3 in the limiting groove 24 to limit the limiting member 35 and prevent the drawer box 3 from separating from the drawer support 2.
[0041] The technical means disclosed in this application are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this application.
