[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic switching hopper 2 grinder, including a machine body shell 1. The machine body shell 1 has an internal feeding channel 11 with a first feeding port 12 at its top and a bottom connection to the grinding assembly. A hopper 2 is detachably connected to the top of the machine body shell 1 via a snap-fit ​​connection. A second feeding port 21 is located at the bottom of the hopper 2, corresponding to the first feeding port 12. A connecting block 22 is integrally formed at the bottom of the hopper 2. A connecting shaft 32 is detachably connected to the connecting block 22. Specifically, the bottom of the connecting block 22 has a barb; after the connecting block 22 is inserted into the connecting shaft 32, the connecting shaft 32 can rotate on the connecting block 22, but without... The connecting block 22 is disengaged. A hopper cover 31 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 32. A third discharge port 311 is opened on the hopper cover 31. A coil spring 33 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 32. One end of the coil spring 33 abuts against the hopper cover 31. During installation, the third discharge port 311 of the hopper cover 31 is inserted into the first discharge port 12. Then, the hopper 2 is rotated so that the position of the second small discharge port corresponds to the first discharge port 12 and the third discharge port 311. At this time, the bottom of the hopper 2 is in the open state. During disassembly, the hopper 2 is removed. At this time, the coil spring 33 drives the hopper cover 31 to rotate through the elastic force, so that the second discharge port 21 and the third discharge port 311 are misaligned. At this time, the hopper 2 automatically closes.

[0028] A drive assembly is installed inside the outer casing 1, and a grinding assembly is installed at the bottom of the outer casing 1. The drive assembly is connected to the grinding assembly in a transmission manner. Pepper grains in the hopper 2 enter the feeding channel 11 through the second feeding port 21 and the third feeding port 311, and finally enter the grinding assembly. The drive assembly drives the grinding assembly to rotate and grind the pepper grains into pepper powder, which falls from the bottom.

[0029] Furthermore, an "L"-shaped slot 23 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the hopper 2, and a locking block 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the outer casing 1 at a position corresponding to the slot 23. During installation, the second discharge port 21 is inserted into the first discharge port 12, at which point the locking block 13 is inserted from the bottom opening of the slot 23. The hopper 2 is rotated to move the locking block 13 into the slot 23 and lock it in place. At this point, the position of the second discharge port 21 is exactly rotated to the position of the third discharge port 311 and the first discharge port 12. After installation, the hopper 2 is in the open state. Similarly, during disassembly, the hopper 2 is rotated in the opposite direction to allow the locking block 13 to disengage from the slot 23. After removing the hopper 2, the hopper cover 31 is reset and the hopper 2 is closed by the action of the coil spring 33.

[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a battery 42, a drive circuit board, a drive motor 41, and a drive rod 43. The drive circuit board is electrically connected to the battery 42 and the drive motor 41. The output shaft of the drive motor 41 is driveably connected to the drive rod 43, and the drive rod 43 is driveably connected to the grinding assembly. The battery 42 provides power to the drive motor 41. The drive circuit board commands the drive motor 41 to work, driving the drive rod 43 to rotate, thereby driving the grinding assembly to rotate and perform the grinding operation.

[0031] Specifically, the grinding assembly includes a grinding bracket 51, an outer grinding core 52, and an inner grinding core 53. The grinding bracket 51 is bolted to the bottom of the outer casing 1. The outer grinding core 52 is embedded inside the grinding bracket 51, and the inner grinding core 53 is embedded inside the outer grinding core 52 and has a clearance fit with it. A grinding core fixing member 54 is provided inside the inner grinding core 53. One end of the drive rod 43 passes through the grinding core fixing member 54 and is fixed by a fixing screw sleeve 55. The drive motor 41 controls the drive rod 43 to rotate, causing the inner grinding core 53 to rotate. The pepper located between the inner grinding core 53 and the outer grinding core 52 is ground into powder by the inner grinding core 53 and the outer grinding core 52 and falls through the gap between the inner grinding core 53 and the outer grinding core 52. In use, simply align the bottom of the grinder with the food or plate.

[0032] Furthermore, a feeding port is provided at the top of the hopper 2, and a top cover 24 is detachably connected to the feeding port. A sealing ring 25 is provided on the inner side of the top cover 24. The top cover 24 is installed on the top of the hopper 2 by interference fit and is sealed by the sealing ring 25 to prevent moisture from entering the hopper 2. When feeding, the top cover 24 can be opened directly to feed without disassembling the entire hopper 2.

[0033] The device also includes a charging base 61, which has several charging slots 611. The number of charging slots 611 can be set according to actual needs. The charging base 61 not only has a charging function, but can also be used to place the grinder.

[0034] Specifically, a charging circuit board 62 is embedded inside the charging base 61. The charging circuit board 62 integrates a charging interface 621, which connects to an external power source via a charging cable. A first charging induction coil 63 is located inside the charging base 61 near the charging slot 611. A second charging induction coil 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer casing 1. The second charging induction coil 64 is covered with a decorative shell and is electrically connected to the drive circuit board. The charging circuit board 62 provides current to the first charging induction coil 63. The first charging induction coil 63 and the second charging induction coil 64 generate electromagnetic induction, causing the second induction coil to generate current to charge the internal battery 42, thus achieving wireless charging. After using the grinder, the user only needs to place it on the charging base 61 to charge it, which is very convenient.

[0035] Furthermore, a start button 441 is integrated on the drive circuit board, and the start button 441 is embedded in the surface of the housing 1. Pressing the start button 441 once turns on the drive motor 41, and pressing the start button 441 again turns off the drive motor 41.

[0036] Furthermore, an indicator light 442 is integrated on the drive circuit board, and the indicator light 442 is embedded in the surface of the housing 1. The indicator light 442 displays the working status of the grinder.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the second feeding port 21 is inserted into the first feeding port 12. At this time, the locking block 13 is inserted from the bottom opening of the slot 23. The hopper 2 is rotated so that the locking block 13 moves into the slot 23 and locks in place. At this time, the position of the second feeding port 21 is exactly rotated to the position of the third feeding port 311 and the first feeding port 12. After installation, the hopper 2 is in the open state. The same principle applies to disassembly. The hopper 2 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the locking block 13 can be disengaged from the slot 23. After removing the hopper 2, the hopper cover 31 is reset and closed by the action of the coil spring 33. Peppercorns are placed into the hopper 2 and enter the feeding channel 11 through the second feeding port 21, the third feeding port 311, and finally enter the grinding assembly. The grinding assembly is driven by the drive assembly to rotate and grind the peppercorns into pepper powder, which falls from the bottom.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure, and are not intended to limit them. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
