[0040] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the module or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0042] 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 invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0043] like Figure 1-10The locking mechanism for a meat grinder shown includes a head 1, a body 2, a locking assembly, and a handle 5. The head 1 has a first insertion part; the body 2 has a second insertion part. The head 1 is connected to the body 2 via the insertion of the first insertion part and the second insertion part. One of the first insertion part and the second insertion part is a insertion block 11, and the other is an insertion groove 31. The locking assembly includes a first locking member disposed on the head 1 and a second locking member disposed on the body 2. When the handle 5 is turned, the first locking member and the second locking member can be locked or unlocked.
[0044] Based on the above structure, when using the locking mechanism of the meat grinder of this utility model, the user can lock or unlock the first locking member and the second locking member by pulling the handle 5. The operation is simple and can ensure a stable connection between the head 1 and the body 2, avoiding the problem of the head 1 and the body 2 becoming loose or separating when the meat grinder is working. This improves the safety and stability of the meat grinder, reduces the risk of accidents, protects the user's safety, and thus enhances the user experience.
[0045] In this embodiment, one of the first locking member and the second locking member is a locking block 41, and the other of the first locking member and the second locking member is a locking groove 121.
[0046] In use, the user can lock the machine head 1 and the machine body 2 by operating the handle 5, which in turn locks the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 together, thus ensuring the secure connection between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2 and preventing the machine head 1 from loosening or separating from the machine body 2 during operation. Alternatively, the user can also unlock the machine head 1 and the machine body 2 by operating the handle 5, which in turn unlocks the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 together, thus separating the machine head 1 from the machine body 2. Therefore, the user can easily detach the machine head 1 from the machine body 2 with simple operations, without complicated disassembly steps or tool assistance, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and improves disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0047] See Figure 4-5 The plug-in block 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 12, and the plug-in groove 31 is provided with a positioning groove 311. When the plug-in block 11 is plugged into the plug-in groove 31, the positioning protrusion 12 is plugged into the positioning groove 311. The positioning protrusion 12 is provided with a locking groove 121. Specifically, after the positioning protrusion 12 is plugged into the positioning groove 311, the user can drive the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 to lock each other by pulling the handle 5, or drive the locking groove 121 and the locking block 41 to lock each other, thereby realizing a firm lock between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2, effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration or impact, reducing the risk of accidents, and ensuring the user's safety.
[0048] Furthermore, the locking mechanism for the meat grinder of this utility model also includes a connecting sleeve 3, which has an insertion groove 31 and a positioning groove 311; the handle 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 3, and one end of the handle 5 is connected to the locking block 41.
[0049] See Figure 6-7 The locking mechanism for the meat grinder of this utility model also includes a rotating block 4. The connecting sleeve 3 has a recess 33 and a limiting hole 32. The rotating block 4 rotates in the recess 33. The handle 5 passes through the limiting hole 32 and is connected to the rotating block 4. The locking block 41 is set on the rotating block 4. When the handle 5 is turned, the rotating block 4 is driven to rotate in the recess 33 so that the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 lock or unlock each other.
[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, the handle 5 passes through the limiting hole 32, and one end of the handle 5 is connected to the rotating block 4 rotating in the recess 33. The rotating block 4 is provided with the locking block 41. The limiting hole 32 can provide a limiting range for the handle 5 to avoid excessive pulling of the handle 5, which would cause damage to the internal structure of the device. The user can pull the other end of the handle 5, and one end of the handle 5 drives the rotating block 4 to rotate in the recess 33, so that the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 lock or unlock each other, ensuring a stable connection between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2.
[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a fastener 8 is also included. One end of the handle 5 is provided with a locking block 51, and the top of the rotating block 4 is provided with a locking groove 44. After one end of the handle 5 passes through the limiting hole 32, the locking block 51 and the locking groove 44 are engaged and fastened by the fastener 8, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection between one end of the handle 5 and the rotating block 4. This effectively prevents the connection between the handle 5 and the rotating block 4 from becoming loose or falling off due to long-term use, vibration or external impact, and also improves the firmness and stability of the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 after they are locked together.
[0052] See Figure 8-10 The rotating block 4 has a recessed hole 42, within which an elastic element 7 and a top post 6 for limiting are provided. Specifically, a limiting groove 34 is also provided in the recess 33, with a first groove 341 and a second groove 342. When the rotating block 4 rotates in the recess 33, the top post 6 moves in the limiting groove 34 and, under the elastic force of the elastic element 7, gets stuck in the first groove 341 or the second groove 342 to achieve limiting, while providing users with a more comfortable and convenient operating experience when using the handle 5.
[0053] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rotating block 4 rotates in an arc within the recess 33, and the limiting groove 34 is an arc-shaped waist groove. The rotation of the rotating block 4 within the recess 33 drives the elastic element 7 and the top post 6 used for limiting to move in an arc shape, so that the top post 6 can be inserted into the first groove 341 or the second groove 342 to achieve limiting.
[0054] Of course, in other cases, the top post 6 can also be a ball or the like, and the choice can be made according to the actual situation, and is not limited to this.
[0055] In this embodiment, a limiting post 332 is also provided in the recess 33, and a sliding protrusion 43 is provided at one end of the rotating block 4. The limiting post 332 and the inner sidewall of the recess 33 form a limiting cavity 331. When the rotating block 4 rotates in the recess 33, the sliding protrusion 43 slides in the limiting cavity 331 to achieve limiting, thereby ensuring that the rotating block 4 rotates in the recess 33 and preventing the rotating block 4 from disengaging from the recess 33 during rotation.
[0056] It should be noted that when the connecting sleeve 3 is installed on the body 2, the outer side wall of the body 2 and the inner side wall of the recess 33 further limit the rotation block 4 located in the recess 33, so as to prevent the rotation block 4 from disengaging from the recess 33, thereby improving the firmness and stability of the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 when they are locked together, and improving the firmness of the connection between the machine head 1 and the body 2.
[0057] In this embodiment, the insertion slot 31 is also provided with a positioning protrusion 312, and the insertion block 11 is provided with a positioning groove 111 that cooperates with the positioning protrusion 312, which further improves the accurate positioning and insertion when the machine head 1 is connected to the machine body 2. It should be noted that the positioning protrusion 312 and the positioning groove 111 are provided with multiple mutual cooperation to enhance the reliability and firmness of the connection between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2.
[0058] See Figure 3 The machine head 1 is also equipped with a meat grinding chamber 14, which contains a meat grinding blade 13. One end of the meat grinding blade 13 is equipped with a drive shaft 131. The machine body 2 is equipped with a drive motor 9 and a drive shaft 91 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 9. When the machine head 1 is connected to the machine body 2, the drive shaft 131 is inserted into the drive shaft 91 to achieve a transmission connection, thereby driving the meat grinding blade 13 to rotate and grind meat.
[0059] In summary, the locking mechanism for the meat grinder of this utility model can lock or unlock the locking block 41 and the locking groove 121 by turning the handle 5, or lock the locking groove 121 and the locking block 41. The operation is simple and can ensure a stable connection between the head 1 and the body 2, avoiding the problem of the head 1 and the body 2 becoming loose or separating during the operation of the meat grinder. This improves the safety and stability of the meat grinder, reduces the risk of accidents, and protects the safety of the user.
[0060] The locking mechanism for the meat grinder of this utility model uses the positioning protrusion 12 and the positioning groove 311 to make the machine head 1 and the machine body 2 accurately positioned and connected, effectively avoiding loosening or displacement caused by inaccurate connection between the machine head 1 and the machine body 2.
[0061] The locking mechanism for the meat grinder of this utility model, by setting a top post 6, which moves within the limiting groove 34 and is engaged in the first groove 341 or the second groove 342 under the elastic force of the elastic element 7, not only improves the reliability and firmness of the connection between the head 1 and the body 2, but also allows the user to enjoy a more comfortable and convenient operating experience when using the handle 5, thereby enhancing the user experience.
