Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a safe food processor. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information related to this application to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application more thoroughly and accurately, and it is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Vegetables are an essential ingredient in our lives, and chopping vegetables is an indispensable step in the cooking process. Currently, the common methods of chopping vegetables are manual or using a vegetable grater. Manual chopping is not only time-consuming but also laborious, especially when shredding or slicing chunks like potatoes or radishes, which significantly reduces work efficiency.

[0004] In response, automatic food processors have emerged on the market. Users simply put the ingredients into the feed tube and press the feed bar; the food is then shredded into shreds, strips, or cubes by the cutting blades and dispensed from the outlet—very convenient. However, during use, it has been found that most food processors lack a safety switch. If a user accidentally touches the start button while inserting their hand into the feed tube to add ingredients, the cutting blades will rotate and potentially cut their hand, posing a safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a safe food processor that can only turn on the main unit when the pressing rod is inserted into the feeding tube, thereby preventing the user's hands from being cut and greatly improving the safety of the product.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its problem is:

[0007] A safe food processor includes a main unit, a processing drum, and a pressing rod, wherein:

[0008] The cooking cylinder is equipped with a feeding pipe, and the feeding pipe has a feeding channel. The pressing rod can extend into the feeding pipe and move up and down in the feeding channel. The main unit is equipped with a switch assembly that is electrically connected to the power supply.

[0009] The pressure bar is provided with a trigger bar, and the feed tube is provided with a swingable transmission rod. The transmission rod is provided with a first transmission protrusion that can be driven and cooperated with the switch assembly.

[0010] When the pressure bar extends into the feed tube, it can abut against the transmission swing rod through the trigger bar and drive the transmission swing rod to swing, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion to swing to trigger the switching assembly, thereby realizing the conduction of the host power supply.

[0011] Furthermore, the transmission lever is also provided with a second transmission protrusion for abutting and cooperating with the trigger bar, and the abutting and cooperating part between the trigger bar and the second transmission protrusion is formed with a first guide slope or a first guide arc surface.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first return spring, and the transmission rocker arm is further provided with a first mounting post, the first return spring being sleeved on the first mounting post.

[0013] Furthermore, the feed pipe is provided with a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket has a receiving groove for accommodating the transmission swing arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with mounting holes, and the transmission rocker arm is provided with a rotating shaft for passing through the mounting holes to form a rotational fit.

[0015] Furthermore, the switching assembly includes a movable trigger block and a micro switch that cooperates with the trigger block. When the pressure bar extends into the feed tube, it can drive the first transmission protrusion to swing and abut against the trigger block, thereby driving the trigger block to move and triggering the micro switch to realize the conduction of the host power supply.

[0016] Furthermore, a second guide slope or a second guide arc surface is formed at the abutment joint between the first transmission protrusion and the trigger block.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a second reset spring, and the trigger block is further provided with a second mounting post, the second reset spring being sleeved on the second mounting post.

[0018] Furthermore, the pressure bar includes a pressure bar body and a pressure sleeve sleeved outside the pressure bar body, and the trigger bar is disposed on the outer wall of the pressure sleeve.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a cutting blade, and the cutting tube is provided with a cutting chamber that communicates with the feed tube, and the cutting blade is rotatably disposed in the cutting chamber;

[0020] The main unit is also equipped with a drive motor, and the cooking cylinder can be detachably assembled onto the main unit, so that the cooking blade is connected to the drive motor for transmission.

[0021] In summary, the food processor provided by this utility model is safe to use and has the following advantages:

[0022] Beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) In the food processor of this utility model, when the pressing rod is inserted into the feeding tube, the trigger bar on the pressing rod can drive the transmission swing rod in the feeding tube to swing, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion on the transmission swing rod to swing to trigger the switch assembly, thereby realizing the conduction of the main power supply; thus, when using the food processor of this utility model, the main power supply can only be turned on when the pressing rod is inserted into the feeding tube, thereby preventing the user's hand from being cut and greatly improving the safety of product use.

[0024] (2) When the food processing machine of this utility model needs to cut long and thin food, the pressing sleeve can be inserted into the feeding tube first. Since the trigger bar is set on the pressing sleeve, when the pressing sleeve is inserted into the feeding tube, it can drive the transmission swing rod to swing synchronously. If the processing tube and the main unit are not yet assembled, the processing tube can be assembled onto the main unit and the first transmission protrusion on the transmission swing rod can trigger the switch assembly. Unlike traditional food processing machines, it is not necessary to assemble the processing tube onto the main unit before the pressing rod can be inserted into the processing tube, which is more convenient.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] See Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a safe food processor, including a main unit 1, a processing cylinder 2, and a pressing rod 3. The processing cylinder 2 includes a cylinder body extending horizontally and a feeding pipe 21 located at the top of the cylinder body and extending vertically. The cylinder body has a processing chamber, and the feeding pipe 21 has a feeding channel communicating with the processing chamber. The pressing rod 3 can extend into the feeding pipe 21 and move up and down in the feeding channel to press the food. In addition, the processing chamber is equipped with a rotatable processing blade 26. The main unit 1 is equipped with a drive motor. When the processing cylinder 2 is assembled onto the main unit 1, the processing blade 26 can be connected to the output end of the drive motor 14 for transmission.

[0038] Therefore, when it is necessary to cut the ingredients, the drive motor 14 can be started to drive the cooking blade 26 to rotate. Then, the pressing bar 3 is pressed to drive the ingredients to be pressed and cut under the action of the cooking blade 26. The cut ingredients can fall into the cooking chamber 25 and finally fall out through the outlet of the cooking chamber 25.

[0039] Specifically, the main unit 1 is also equipped with a switch assembly electrically connected to the power supply; the pressure bar 3 is equipped with a trigger bar 321, which is located on the side wall of the pressure bar 3 and extends along the height direction of the pressure bar 3; the side wall of the feed pipe 21 is equipped with a swingable transmission rod 23, and the end of the transmission rod 23 is equipped with a first transmission protrusion 231 that can be driven and cooperated with the switch assembly; thus, when the pressure bar 3 is inserted into the feed pipe 21, the trigger bar 321 on the pressure bar 3 abuts against the transmission rod 23 and drives the transmission rod 23 to swing, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion 231 to swing to trigger the switch assembly, thereby realizing the conduction of the power supply of the main unit 1.

[0040] Therefore, when using the food processor of this invention, the power supply of the main unit 1 can only be turned on when the pressing rod 3 is inserted into the feeding tube 21, thereby preventing the user's hands from being cut and greatly improving the safety of product use.

[0041] See Figure 4-6 The side of the transmission rocker arm 23 is also provided with a second transmission protrusion 232 for abutting and engaging with the trigger bar 321. The engagement point of the second transmission protrusion 232 for abutting with the trigger bar 321 is formed with a first guide arc surface 2321. Therefore, when the pressure bar 3 is inserted into the feed tube 21, the end of the trigger bar 321 can abut with the first guide arc surface 2321 and drive the transmission rocker arm 23 to swing back and forth, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion 231 to swing.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the first guide arc surface 2321 can also be set on the trigger bar 321, or the first guide arc surface 2321 can be set at the abutment and engagement point between the trigger bar 321 and the second transmission protrusion 232, which can achieve the same technical effect and are not limited here.

[0043] Of course, the first guide arc surface 2321 can also be replaced with the first guide slope surface, which is not restricted here.

[0044] Additionally, a first return spring 24 is included. A first mounting post 234 protrudes from the transmission rocker arm 23. The first return spring 24 is sleeved on the first mounting post 234, with both ends abutting against the transmission rocker arm 23 and the feed pipe 21, respectively. Therefore, when the user pulls the pressure bar 3 out of the feed pipe 21, the transmission rocker arm 23 can be reset under the elastic force of the first return spring 24.

[0045] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The feed pipe 21 also has a mounting cavity on its side wall, and a mounting bracket 22 is provided in the mounting cavity. The mounting bracket 22 has a receiving groove 221 for accommodating the transmission rocker arm 23. The mounting bracket 22 also has a mounting hole 222 communicating with the receiving groove 221. The transmission rocker arm 23 has a rotating shaft 233 that passes through the mounting hole 222 to form a rotational engagement. There is a certain gap between the mounting bracket 22 and the mounting cavity. The second transmission protrusion 232 partially protrudes from the mounting bracket 22 and is located within the gap. The trigger bar 321 can extend into the gap and abut against the second transmission protrusion 232 to realize transmission.

[0046] See also Figure 3-4 The switching assembly includes a movable trigger block 11 and a micro switch 13 that cooperates with the trigger block 11. The micro switch 13 is provided with a contact 131. When the pressure bar 3 is inserted into the feed tube 21, it can drive the transmission swing rod 23 to swing, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion 231 to swing and abut against the trigger block 11, thereby driving the trigger block 11 to move and abut against the contact on the micro switch 13 to achieve triggering, thereby realizing the conduction of the power supply of the host 1.

[0047] The trigger block 11 has a second guide slope 111 formed at the position where it abuts against the first transmission protrusion 231. Thus, when the first transmission protrusion 231 is driven to swing back and forth, it can push the trigger block 11 to move left and right through the second guide slope 111 to trigger the micro switch 13.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the second guide slope 111 can also be provided on the first transmission protrusion 231, or the second guide slope 111 can be provided at both the abutment and engagement points of the first transmission protrusion 231 and the trigger block 11, which can achieve the same technical effect and are not limited here.

[0049] Of course, the second guide slope 111 can also be replaced with the second guide arc surface, which is not restricted here.

[0050] Additionally, a second return spring 12 is included. A second mounting post 112 protrudes from the trigger block 11. The second return spring 12 is sleeved on the second mounting post 112 and abuts against both the trigger block 11 and the main unit housing 1. Therefore, when the transmission rocker arm 23 resets, i.e., when the first transmission protrusion 231 disengages from the trigger block 11, the trigger block 11 can reset under the elastic force of the second return spring 12.

[0051] See also Figure 2The pressing rod 3 includes a pressing rod body 31 and a pressing sleeve 32 sleeved on the outside of the pressing rod body 31. The trigger bar 321 is disposed on the outer wall of the pressing sleeve 32. When it is necessary to cut large-sized ingredients (such as potatoes), the pressing sleeve 32 can be sleeved on the pressing rod body 31 to form a large pressing rod, which can press and cut large-sized ingredients. When it is necessary to cut slender ingredients (such as cucumbers), the pressing sleeve 32 can be inserted into the feed pipe 21 to narrow the feed channel. At this time, the pressing rod body 31 forms a small pressing rod, which can press and cut slender ingredients, thereby satisfying the pressing effect of different ingredients.

[0052] When it is necessary to cut long and thin ingredients, the pressing sleeve 32 can be inserted into the feed tube 21. Since the trigger bar 321 is set on the pressing sleeve 32, when the pressing sleeve 32 is inserted into the feed tube 21, it can drive the transmission swing rod 23 to swing synchronously. At this time, the first transmission protrusion 231 on the transmission swing rod 23 is in a state where it is partially protruding from the feed tube 21. If the cooking cylinder 2 and the main unit 1 are not yet assembled at this time, the cooking cylinder 2 can be assembled onto the main unit 1 in the horizontal front-back direction, and the first transmission protrusion 231 on the transmission swing rod 23 can drive the trigger block 11 to move and trigger the switch assembly, which is very convenient. However, for traditional food processors, since the transmission rod used to trigger the power switch of the main unit 1 usually moves up and down in the vertical direction, if the pressing sleeve 32 is first inserted into the feed tube 21, the end of the transmission rod will protrude. If the cooking cylinder 2 is then moved in the horizontal front-back direction and assembled onto the main unit 1, the protruding part on the transmission rod will interfere with the main unit 1, making it impossible to assemble the cooking cylinder 2 and the main unit 1. Therefore, the cooking cylinder 2 can only be assembled first before the pressing rod 3 can be inserted into the cooking cylinder 2, which is very troublesome.

[0053] In summary, the food processor provided by this utility model is safe to use and has the following advantages:

[0054] Beneficial effects:

[0055] (I) In the food processing machine of this utility model, when the pressing rod 3 is inserted into the feeding tube 21, the trigger bar 321 on the pressing rod 3 can drive the transmission swing rod 23 in the feeding tube 21 to swing, thereby driving the first transmission protrusion 231 on the transmission swing rod 23 to swing to trigger the switch assembly to realize the power supply of the main unit 1; thus, when using the food processing machine of this utility model, the main unit power supply can only be turned on when the pressing rod 3 is inserted into the feeding tube 21, thereby preventing the user's hand from being cut and greatly improving the safety of product use.

[0056] (II) When the food processing machine of this utility model needs to cut slender ingredients, the pressing sleeve 32 can be inserted into the feed tube 21 first. Since the trigger bar 321 is set on the pressing sleeve 32, when the pressing sleeve 32 is inserted into the feed tube 21, it can drive the transmission swing rod 23 to swing synchronously. If the processing tube 2 and the main unit 1 are not yet assembled at this time, the processing tube 2 can be assembled onto the main unit 1 and the first transmission protrusion 231 on the transmission swing rod 23 can trigger the switch assembly. Unlike traditional food processing machines, it is not necessary to assemble the processing tube 2 and the main unit 1 before the pressing rod 3 can be inserted into the processing tube 2, which is more convenient to use.
