[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a cheese grinder, comprising a housing 1, a drive assembly 2, a grinding cylinder 3, a receiving mechanism, and a positioning mechanism 6. The housing 1 has a feeding chamber 11, a grinding chamber 12, and a discharging chamber 13 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The grinding cylinder 3 is disposed within the grinding chamber 12. The drive assembly 2 is disposed within the housing 1, and its output end extends into the grinding chamber 12 and connects to the grinding cylinder 3, enabling the grinding cylinder 3 to rotate. The receiving mechanism includes a receiving box 4 and a positioning mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The bottom left and right sides of the receiving box 4 are provided with limiting strips 41. The positioning seat 5 is provided with two limiting slots that slide with the limiting strips 41 respectively. The positioning seat 5 is provided with limiting blocks 52 that abut against the front or rear end of the receiving box 4. The left and right sides of the receiving box 4 are provided with positioning ears 42. The housing 1 is provided with guide grooves 14 that slide with the positioning ears 42. In this way, the receiving box 4 can be inserted into the guide grooves 14 in both directions (i.e., inserted into the groove opening of the guide groove 14 from the front or rear end of the receiving box 4). The extension of the guide groove 14... The extension direction is the same as the extension direction of the limiting slot. The positioning mechanism 6 includes a fixed base 61, a connecting rod 62, a spring 63, a connecting plate 64, and a top plate 65. The fixed base 61 is disposed on the housing 1. The fixed base 61 is provided with a mating groove that slides with one end of the connecting rod 62. The other end of the connecting rod 62 is connected to the connecting plate 64. Further, the connecting plate 64 is provided with a plurality of guide rods. The fixed base 61 is provided with guide grooves that slide with the guide rods. The spring 63 is fitted on the connecting rod 62. One end of the spring 63 is connected to the top plate 65. The fixed base 61 abuts against the top plate 64, and the other end of the spring 63 abuts against the connecting plate 64. The top plate 65 is disposed on the connecting plate 64. The guide groove 14 is provided with a through hole 141 through which the top plate 65 can pass. The through hole 141 is located at the end of the guide groove 14. When the positioning ear 42 abuts against the top plate 65, the spring 63 is in a compressed state. The receiving box 4 is located directly below the discharge chamber 13. Thus, after the receiving box 4 is removed from the housing 1, the top plate 65 extends out of the through hole 141 and is located in the guide groove 14 under the elastic force of the spring 63.
[0024] In this invention, the positioning ear 42 moves along the guide groove 14. When the positioning ear 42 moves to the through hole 141, the positioning ear 42 continuously pushes the top plate 65 toward one side of the fixed seat 61. When the positioning ear 42 is directly opposite the through hole 141, the positioning ear 42 abuts against the top plate 65. Under the restoring force of the spring 63, the top plate 65 presses against the positioning ear 42. At the same time, the limiting strip 41 at the bottom of the receiving box 4 is inserted into the limiting slot on the positioning seat 5, and the end of the receiving box 4 abuts against the limiting block 52 on the positioning seat 5, effectively positioning and fixing the receiving box 4, ensuring that the receiving box 4 will not shift during the grinding process. The installation and disassembly of the receiving box 4 are simple.
[0025] In this embodiment, a guide slope 651 is provided on one side of the top plate 65 facing the groove of the guide groove 14. The guide slope 651 is inclined from the side of the top plate 65 toward the middle of the top plate 65 along the entry direction of the positioning ear 42 into the guide groove 14. The front side and the rear side of the positioning ear 42 are provided with a mating slope 421 that cooperates with the guide slope 651. With the cooperation of the guide slope 651 on the top plate 65 and the mating slope 421 of the positioning ear 42, the positioning ear 42 smoothly pushes the top plate 65 closer to the fixed seat 61. When the positioning ear 42 is directly opposite the through hole 141, the end face of the positioning ear 42 abuts against the end face of the top plate 65.
[0026] For example, the drive assembly 2 includes a motor assembly and a drive shaft disposed at the output end of the motor assembly. One end of the grinding cylinder 3 is provided with a mounting hole that is inserted and engaged with the drive shaft. The other end of the grinding cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to a mounting cover 31. The housing 1 is provided with a mounting hole through which the grinding cylinder 3 can pass. The mounting cover 31 is detachably mounted on the housing 1 and can close the mounting hole. Preferably, the mounting cover 31 is screwed onto the housing 1. By opening the mounting cover 31, the grinding cylinder 3 can be quickly removed from the grinding chamber 12 inside the housing 1 and taken out, which is convenient for cleaning the grinding cylinder 3.
[0027] For example, the top of the receiving box 4 is detachably covered with a perforated plate 43. The cheese shreds coming out of the discharge chamber 13 pass through the perforated plate 43 and then enter the receiving box 4. This effectively prevents insufficiently ground cheese from entering the receiving box 4 and ensures that the cheese collected in the receiving box 4 meets the requirements.
[0028] Specifically, the top of the receiving box 4 is provided with a placement groove that cooperates with the perforated plate 43, which facilitates the placement and removal of the perforated plate 43.
[0029] Furthermore, the placement groove is detachably covered with a sealing plate, which is placed in the placement groove where the mesh plate 43 is placed (the sealing plate can also be placed directly in the placement groove) to prevent dust and other foreign objects from entering the receiving box 4.
[0030] For example, the top of the housing 1 is provided with a top cover 15 for sealing the feeding chamber 11. The top cover 15 is hinged to the housing 1. Specifically, the bottom of the top cover 15 is provided with a pressure cover 16 for pressing the cheese onto the grinding cylinder 3, so that the cheese is better ground.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
