Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a noodle maker that is easy to handle. Background Technology

[0002] Existing noodle machines typically include a main unit and an extrusion assembly connected to the output end of the main unit. The main unit includes a housing, a motor housed within the housing, a lead screw connected to the motor for transmission, and a metal casing threaded around the lead screw. The extrusion assembly includes a pressing rod fixedly connected to the lead screw to move with it. When the motor rotates and drives the lead screw to rotate, the pressing rod moves forward relative to the lead screw to press the dough. However, in these machines, the metal casing is prone to jamming during the reciprocating movement of the pressing rod, resulting in poor dough pressing performance. To solve this problem, [the following is an example of a different machine / technology]... The utility model patent CN202022305266.0 discloses an extrusion assembly for a noodle machine and a noodle machine. It has a sheet-like guide rail inside the outer shell. One end of a push rod connected to the dough pressing rod is set on the guide rail and its circumferential rotation is restricted by the guide rail. Under the guidance of the sheet-like guide rail, the push rod is guided to improve the smoothness of reciprocating motion. However, the addition of the guide rail increases the weight of the entire machine. Furthermore, when assembling the machine, the guide rail needs to be installed on the outer shell, which increases the installation steps. To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese utility model patent CN202320195590.2 discloses a noodle machine extrusion assembly and a noodle machine. This design features two integrally formed ribs on the inner walls of both housings, creating an open groove between them. Two protrusions on the push rod, adapted to the groove, guide the push rod. While this solution improves weight compared to previous designs, several drawbacks exist. Firstly, the machine must overcome friction between the bottom and side walls of the open groove, as well as friction between the protrusions and the top walls of the ribs. This friction generates heat, which in turn causes significant heat to be transferred from the ribs forming the open groove to the outside of the housing. Secondly, the high resistance during sliding necessitates greater power from the motor to support the push rod's operation, leading to severe motor overheating and impacting its lifespan. This heat also needs to be dissipated through the housing. Particularly problematic is the overheating of the entire machine's housing when users require multiple consecutive noodle-making operations. In addition, the overall weight of the machine is still relatively heavy under this solution. Users of this model have found that the overall weight of the machine is quite large, especially when the dough is placed at the front, it is very difficult for users to pick it up, which seriously affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient noodle machine. Under the premise that existing noodle machines improve the smoothness of the pressing rod movement by setting grooves and protrusions, how to simplify and improve the sliding structure to solve the problem of severe overheating of the outer shell of the noodle machine in the scenario of repeated continuous use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a convenient noodle machine, including a main unit and an extrusion assembly connected to the output end of the main unit. The main unit includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, a lead screw connected to the motor drive, and a slider threaded to the outer periphery of the lead screw. The extrusion assembly includes a pressing rod fixedly connected to the slider to move with the slider. The pressing rod is hollow inside and is axially reciprocatingly sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw. The housing includes a first shell and a second shell that cooperates with the first shell. Only the first shell or only the second shell has a single guide rail extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider. The slider has a groove that engages with the guide rail. The end face of the slider facing the guide rail is clearance-fitted with the inner surface of the housing with the guide rail.

[0005] This application addresses this issue by configuring the outer casing as a first housing and a second housing that mates with the first housing. Only the first housing or only the second housing has a single guide rail extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider. The slider has a groove that mates with the guide rail. This allows the slider to achieve stable and precise guidance during reciprocating motion through the cooperation of the groove and the guide rail, ensuring the smoothness of the slider's reciprocating motion and preventing it from deviating or jamming during sliding. This prevents uneven noodle production or broken noodles, thus ensuring the noodle-making effect and noodle quality, and improving the user experience. Furthermore, compared to existing structures that require grooves to be formed on both the first and second housings and two protrusions on the slider to mate with the grooves, this application only forms the guide rail on one side of the housing. That is, only a single guide rail needs to be formed on either the first or second housing. Compared to the existing technology that requires two ribs to form a groove between them, this greatly simplifies the structural design, and the guide rail is formed only on either the first or second housing. During the sliding process of a single guide rail and a single slide groove, the guide rail is inserted into the slide groove. Because the end face of the slider facing the guide rail has a clearance fit with the inner surface of the housing containing the guide rail, only the side wall and top wall of the guide rail contact the slide groove to generate friction. Furthermore, the slider does not contact the housing side forming the guide rail, resulting in less contact surface between the slider and the housing. Compared to existing technologies, this reduces the friction generated by the contact between ribs and protrusions, effectively reducing the heat generated by friction between the guide rail and the slide groove during operation. Lower friction allows for a reduction in the power supplied by the motor, thereby reducing the heat and operating noise generated by the motor. Additionally, this application requires only a single guide rail, allowing for a larger space within the housing to accommodate the motor. This provides greater heat dissipation space for the motor's operating heat and the heat generated by friction between the guide rail and the slide groove, further reducing the heat transferred to the housing. Meanwhile, this application requires only a single guide rail and slide, which simplifies the guiding structure compared to existing technologies that use two additional sheet-like guide rails and four raised ribs. This reduces the overall weight of the noodle machine, making it easier for users to handle and improving its portability and ease of operation. This further optimizes the user experience and ensures a smooth and efficient noodle-making process. Furthermore, it reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the noodle machine, decreases material consumption, and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of a convenient noodle machine, the guide rail is only provided on the inner wall of the first housing, and the slider is provided with a groove only on the side that cooperates with the guide rail, while the opposite side is a mating wall that conforms to the inner wall of the second housing.

[0007] By placing the guide rail solely on the inner wall of the first housing and providing a groove for the slider only on the side that mates with the guide rail, the structure of the housing and the slider is simplified, reducing their weight and consequently the overall weight of the noodle machine. This makes it easier for users to handle the noodle machine. Simultaneously, the opposite side of the slider has a conforming mating wall that abuts against the inner wall of the second housing, providing support and further enhancing the slider's stability. This ensures the slider maintains a precise trajectory even during high-speed reciprocating motion, improving operational stability.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently handleable noodle machine, the inner wall of the second housing is provided with an inwardly protruding sliding rib, the mating wall abuts against the sliding rib, and the width of the sliding rib perpendicular to the reciprocating motion direction is smaller than the width of the mating wall; or,

[0009] The inner wall of the second housing is provided with inwardly protruding sliding ribs, which abut against the mating wall. The sliding ribs are arranged in a grid-like perforated pattern.

[0010] By providing inwardly protruding sliding ribs on the inner wall of the second housing, with the mating wall abutting against the sliding ribs, and the width of the sliding ribs perpendicular to the reciprocating motion direction being smaller than the width of the mating wall, the sliding ribs provide stable support for the mating wall. At the same time, the contact area between the mating wall and the inner wall of the second housing is reduced, frictional resistance is lowered, and the movement of the slider is ensured to be smoother, further improving the operating efficiency and durability of the noodle machine.

[0011] By designing the sliding ribs in a grid-like perforated pattern, the weight of the sliding ribs can be greatly reduced, further reducing the overall weight of the machine. This makes it easier for users to pick up the machine and enhances the user experience.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently accessible noodle machine, the first housing is further provided with two fixed supports spaced apart along the axial direction, and a guide shaft passes through the fixed supports, with the guide slide rail serving as the guide shaft.

[0013] By incorporating two axially spaced fixed supports in the first housing, with a guide shaft passing between them and a guide rail serving as the guide shaft, the internal structure of the housing is further simplified, helping to reduce production costs. Furthermore, the fixed supports are only located at both ends of the guide shaft and are relatively small, significantly reducing weight. Compared to existing designs with two guide rails on both the left and right, this reduces the number of guide rails by two, further decreasing the overall weight. Simultaneously, the guide shaft and the slide groove on the slider tightly engage, ensuring smooth movement of the slider along the guide shaft and effectively reducing friction between the slider and the housing, thus reducing noise transmission and extending service life.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently accessible noodle maker, the first housing is further provided with a micro switch for controlling the on / off state of the motor, and two fixed brackets are located above the micro switch.

[0015] By incorporating a microswitch in the first housing to control the on / off state of the motor, the pressing rod can automatically reverse direction at the beginning and end of its reciprocating motion. This prevents the lead screw from rotating in only one direction, which would otherwise cause the pressing rod to move in only one direction and fail to effectively press the dough. Simultaneously, two fixed supports are positioned above the microswitch. These supports connect to the housing while also ensuring that the slider and other components avoid contact with the microswitch, optimizing the internal structure layout, improving overall compactness, reducing the overall size of the machine, and making it easier for users to handle.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently accessible noodle machine, the guide rail is integrally formed on the inner wall of the first or second housing and protrudes inward.

[0017] By making the guide rail integrally formed on the inner wall of the first or second housing and protruding inward, the forming of the housing and the guide rail is simplified, the assembly steps are reduced, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the connecting parts that fix the guide rail and the housing together are eliminated, which helps to further reduce the weight of the whole machine and make it easier for users to handle.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently accessible noodle machine, the guide rails or sliders are arranged in a grid-like perforated pattern.

[0019] By designing the guide rails or sliders with a grid-like perforation, the sliding cooperation of the guide rails and sliders can be ensured while greatly reducing their weight, further reducing the overall weight of the machine. This makes it easier for users to pick up the machine and improves the user experience.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently handleable noodle machine, the guide rail has inwardly extending support ribs on both sides along its vertical direction, and the sliders on both sides of the slide groove abut against the support ribs; or,

[0021] The slide groove has a first protrusion above it and a second protrusion below it. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are symmetrically arranged on a horizontal center plane passing through the central axis of the slide groove.

[0022] By providing inwardly extending support ribs on both sides of the guide rail along the vertical direction, and having the sliders on both sides of the slide groove abut against the support ribs, the lateral support of the outer shell for the slider is improved, further ensuring the stability of the slider position. This effectively avoids the slider from swaying during reciprocating movement, which could lead to unsmooth slider movement or even jamming, and further improves the overall stability of the machine operation.

[0023] By symmetrically setting the first and second protrusions relative to the horizontal center plane passing through the central axis of the slide groove, it is ensured that the slider is subjected to balanced force when moving in the slide groove, further avoiding the situation of uneven force causing swaying, and further improving the overall stability of the machine operation.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this application, this application also includes a convenient noodle machine, comprising a main unit and an extrusion assembly connected to the output end of the main unit. The main unit includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, a lead screw connected to the motor drive, and a slider threaded to the outer periphery of the lead screw. The extrusion assembly includes a pressing rod fixedly connected to the slider to move with the slider. The pressing rod is hollow inside and is axially reciprocatingly sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw. The housing includes a first housing and a second housing that cooperates with the first housing. Only the first housing has a guide rail extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider. The slider has a groove that cooperates with the guide rail. The inner wall of the second housing has a guide rib extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider. The slider has a notch that cooperates with the guide rib.

[0025] By providing guide ribs extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider on the inner wall of the second housing, and providing notches for the slider to cooperate with the guide ribs, the slider can not only achieve guidance and limitation through the cooperation of the guide rail and the slide groove, but also further achieve guidance through the cooperation of the guide ribs and the notches. This helps to further improve the stability and motion accuracy of the slider, ensure that the noodle machine continues to operate efficiently during long-term use, extend its service life, and improve the user experience.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of a conveniently accessible noodle maker, a micro switch for controlling the on / off state of the motor is also provided inside the outer casing, and the guide ribs and guide rails are vertically offset to avoid the micro switch.

[0027] By vertically offsetting the guide ribs and guide rails to avoid the microswitch, the spatial layout is optimized, structural interference is reduced, and the coordinated operation of all components is ensured while maintaining the guiding function of the guide ribs and guide rails. Furthermore, compared to a structure where the guide ribs and guide rails are symmetrically arranged, this avoids the need for additional space below the guide ribs or guide rails to accommodate the microswitch, which would increase the overall vertical dimension of the machine and make it more difficult for users to handle.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this utility model provides a convenient noodle machine, including a main unit 1 and an extrusion assembly 2 connected to the output end of the main unit 1. The main unit 1 includes a housing 11, a motor 3 disposed inside the housing 11, a lead screw 4 connected to the motor 3 for transmission, and a slider 5 threaded to the outer periphery of the lead screw 4. The extrusion assembly 2 includes a pressing rod fixedly connected to the slider 5 to move with the slider 5. The pressing rod is hollow inside and is axially reciprocatingly sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw 4. The housing 11 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112 that cooperates with the first housing 111.

[0045] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the structure formed within the first and second shells, and it can be any of the following embodiments:

[0046] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the first housing 111 or the second housing 112 is provided with a guide rail 12 extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider 5, and the slider 5 is provided with a groove 51 that cooperates with the guide rail 12.

[0047] By configuring the outer casing 11 to include a first casing 111 and a second casing 112 that cooperates with the first casing 111, and the first casing 111 or the second casing 112 is provided with a single guide rail 12 extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider 5, and the slider 5 is provided with a groove 51 that cooperates with the guide rail 12, the slider 5 can achieve stable and precise guidance in reciprocating motion through the cooperation of the groove 51 and the guide rail 12, ensuring the smoothness of the reciprocating motion of the slider 5, avoiding deviation or jamming during the sliding process, which would lead to an unsmooth pressing process or even the inability to press the dough, resulting in uneven noodle production or broken noodles, thus ensuring the pressing effect and noodle quality of the noodle machine and improving the user experience. Furthermore, compared to existing structures that require grooves 51 to be formed on both the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, and two protrusions to mate with the grooves 51 on the slider 5, this application forms a guide rail 12 only on one side of the housing. That is, only a single guide rail 12 needs to be formed on the first housing 111 or the second housing 112. Compared to the prior art, which requires two ribs to form the groove 51 between them, this greatly simplifies the structural design. Moreover, since the guide rail 12 is formed only on the first housing 111 or the second housing 112, the single guide rail 12 guides the single groove 51 during the sliding process. The slide rail 12 is inserted into the slide groove 51. Since the end face of the slider 5 facing the guide slide rail 12 is in clearance fit with the inner surface of the housing containing the guide slide rail, only the side wall and top wall of the guide slide rail contact the slide groove 51 to generate friction. Furthermore, the slider 5 does not contact the housing forming the guide slide rail 12 due to the clearance fit. The contact area between the slider 5 and the housing 11 is reduced, thus decreasing the friction generated by the contact between the ribs and protrusions compared to existing technologies. This effectively reduces the heat generated by the friction between the guide slide rail 12 and the slide groove 51 during operation. The reduced friction allows for a lower power output from the motor 3, thereby reducing the heat and operating noise generated by the motor 3. Additionally, this application requires only a single guide slide rail 12, allowing for a larger space within the housing 11 to accommodate the motor 3. This provides greater heat dissipation space for the motor 3's operating heat and the heat generated by the friction between the guide slide rail 12 and the slide groove 51, further reducing the heat transferred to the housing 11. Meanwhile, this application requires only a single guide rail and groove 51. Compared to the existing technology that uses two additional sheet-like guide rails and four ribs, the guide structure is simplified, reducing the overall weight of the noodle machine. Furthermore, the groove 51 is formed by inward concavity on the slider 5, which, compared to the outward protrusion of the existing structure, effectively reduces the overall weight of the slider 5. This simplification of the structure in two directions significantly reduces the overall weight of the noodle machine, making it easier for users to handle and improving its portability and ease of operation. This further optimizes the user experience and ensures a smooth and efficient noodle-making process. In addition, it reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the noodle machine, decreases material consumption, and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0048] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the location of the guide rail 12. As one preferred embodiment of this application, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the guide rail 12 is only provided on the inner wall of the first housing 111. Of course, it can also be provided on the inner wall of the second housing 112. It should be further noted that this application does not specifically limit the structure of the inner wall of the second housing 112 in this embodiment. As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the slider 5 is provided with a groove 51 on only one side that cooperates with the guide rail 12, and the opposite side is a mating wall 55 that conforms to the inner wall of the second housing 112.

[0049] By placing the guide rail 12 only on the inner wall of the first housing 111, and providing the slider 5 with a groove 51 only on the side that mates with the guide rail 12, the structure of the housing 11 and the slider 5 is simplified, reducing their weight and thus the overall weight of the noodle machine, making it easier for users to handle. Simultaneously, the opposite side of the slider 5 has a mating wall 55 that conforms to the inner wall of the second housing 112, providing support and abutment for the slider 5. This further enhances the stability of the slider 5, ensuring it maintains a precise trajectory during high-speed reciprocating motion and improving operational stability.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the second housing 112 is provided with an inwardly protruding sliding rib 15, the mating wall 55 abuts against the sliding rib 15, and the width of the sliding rib 15 perpendicular to the reciprocating motion direction is less than the width of the mating wall 55.

[0051] By providing an inwardly protruding sliding rib 15 on the inner wall of the second housing 112, and having the mating wall 55 abut against the sliding rib 15, and the width of the sliding rib 15 perpendicular to the reciprocating motion direction being smaller than the width of the mating wall 55, the sliding rib 15 provides stable support for the mating wall 55. At the same time, it reduces the contact area between the mating wall 55 and the inner wall of the second housing 112, reduces frictional resistance, ensures smoother movement of the slider 5, and further improves the operating efficiency and durability of the noodle machine.

[0052] Preferably, the sliding rib 15 is arranged in a grid-like perforated pattern.

[0053] By designing the sliding ribs 15 in a grid-like perforated pattern, the weight of the sliding ribs 15 can be greatly reduced, further reducing the overall weight of the machine. This makes it easier for users to pick up the machine and further enhances the user experience.

[0054] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the molding of the guide rail 12 in this embodiment, and it can be any of the following embodiments:

[0055] Implementation method 1: such as Figures 6 to 8As shown, in this embodiment, the first housing 111 is also provided with two fixed brackets 7 spaced apart along the axial direction, and a guide shaft is passed through the fixed brackets 7, with the guide slide rail 12 serving as the guide shaft.

[0056] By providing two fixed supports 7 spaced axially along the first housing 111, with a guide shaft passing through the fixed supports 7 and the guide rail 12 serving as the guide shaft, the internal structure of the housing 11 is further simplified, helping to reduce the production cost of the housing 11. Furthermore, the fixed supports 7 are only located at both ends of the guide shaft and are small in size, significantly reducing its weight. Compared to existing designs with two guide rails on both the left and right, this reduces the number of guide rails by two, further reducing the overall weight of the machine. Simultaneously, the guide shaft and the slide groove 51 on the slider 5 closely cooperate, ensuring smooth movement of the slider 5 along the guide shaft. This effectively reduces friction between the slider 5 and the housing 11, helping to reduce noise transmission to the outside, thus playing a noise reduction role and extending service life.

[0057] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the structure on the slider 5 that mates with the guide shaft in this embodiment, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the guide can be a closed guide hole 56 provided on the slider 5, which cooperates with the guide shaft to achieve the guiding function; or it can be a groove 51 with an opening facing the guide rail on the slider 5, which will not be described in detail here. Preferably, the guide rail is a hollow structure to further reduce the weight of the whole machine.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first housing 111 is also provided with a micro switch 6 for controlling the on / off state of the motor 3, and two fixed brackets 7 are located above the micro switch 6.

[0059] By incorporating a microswitch 6 within the housing 11 to control the on / off state of the motor 3, the pressing rod can automatically reverse direction at the beginning and end points during its reciprocating motion. This prevents the screw 4 from rotating in only one direction, which would otherwise cause the pressing rod to move in only one direction and thus fail to effectively press the dough. Simultaneously, two fixed supports 7 are positioned above the microswitch 6. These supports connect to the housing 11 while also allowing the slider 5 and other components to avoid contact with the microswitch 6. This optimizes the layout of the internal structure of the housing 11, improves the overall compactness of the structure, reduces the overall size of the machine, and makes it easier for users to handle.

[0060] Implementation method 2: such as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide rail 12 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the first housing 111 or the second housing 112 and protrudes inward. Preferably, the guide rail 12 is formed by the first housing 111.

[0061] By setting the guide slide rail 12 as an integral part of the inner wall of the first housing 111 or the second housing 112 and forming it inwardly, the forming of the outer shell 11 and the guide slide rail 12 is simplified, the assembly steps are reduced, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the connecting parts that fix the guide slide rail 12 and the outer shell 11 together are eliminated, which helps to further reduce the weight of the whole machine and make it easier for users to handle.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the guide rail 12 or the slider 5 is arranged in a grid-like hollowed-out pattern. More preferably, both the guide rail 12 and the slider 5 are hollowed-out.

[0063] By setting the guide rail 12 or slider 5 in a grid-like hollowed-out manner, the guide rail 12 and slider 5 can be slidingly coordinated while the weight of the guide rail 12 and slider 5 can be greatly reduced, further reducing the weight of the whole machine. This makes it easier for users to pick up the machine and further improves the user experience.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the guide rail 12 has inwardly extending support ribs 14 on both sides along the vertical direction, and the sliders 5 on both sides of the slide groove 51 abut against the support ribs 14.

[0065] By providing inwardly extending support ribs 14 on both sides of the guide rail 12 along the vertical direction, and having the sliders 5 on both sides of the slide groove 51 abut against the support ribs 14, it helps to improve the lateral support of the outer shell 11 for the sliders 5, further ensuring the stability of the sliders 5 position, effectively avoiding the situation where the sliders 5 wobble during reciprocating movement, causing the sliders 5 to move unsmoothly or even jam, and further improving the stability of the whole machine operation.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, a first protrusion 53 is provided above the slide groove 51, and a second protrusion 54 is provided below it. The first protrusion 53 and the second protrusion 54 are symmetrically arranged on a horizontal center plane passing through the central axis of the slide groove 51.

[0067] By symmetrically arranging the first protrusion 53 and the second protrusion 54 relative to the horizontal center plane passing through the central axis of the slide groove 51, it is ensured that the slider 5 is subjected to balanced force when moving in the slide groove 51, further avoiding the situation of uneven force causing swaying, and further improving the overall stability of the machine operation.

[0068] Example 2: Figures 2 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, only the first housing 111 is provided with a guide rail 12 extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider 5, the slider 5 is provided with a groove 51 that cooperates with the guide rail 12, the inner wall of the second housing 112 is provided with a guide rib 13 extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider 5, and the slider 5 is provided with a notch 52 that cooperates with the guide rib 13.

[0069] By providing guide ribs 13 extending along the reciprocating motion direction of the slider 5 on the inner wall of the second housing 112, and providing notches 52 that cooperate with the guide ribs 13, the slider 5 can not only achieve guiding and limiting through the cooperation of the guide rail 12 and the slide groove 51, but also further achieve guiding through the cooperation of the guide ribs 13 and the notches 52. This helps to further improve the stability and motion accuracy of the slider 5, ensure that the noodle machine continues to operate efficiently during long-term use, extend its service life, and improve the user experience.

[0070] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the relative positional relationship between the guide rib 13 and the guide rail 12 in this embodiment. As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 11 is also equipped with a micro switch 6 for controlling the on / off state of the motor 3. The guide rib 13 and the guide slide rail 12 are vertically offset to avoid the micro switch 6.

[0071] By vertically offsetting the guide rib 13 and guide rail 12 to avoid the micro switch 6, the spatial layout is optimized, structural interference is reduced, and the coordinated operation of all components is ensured while maintaining the guiding function of the guide rib 13 and guide rail 12. Furthermore, compared to a structure where the guide rib 13 and guide rail 12 are symmetrically arranged, this avoids the need for additional space below the guide rib 13 or guide rail 12 to accommodate the micro switch 6, which would increase the overall vertical dimension of the machine and make it more difficult for users to handle.
