Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processor technology, and in particular to a telescopic cutting board structure. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors, as common kitchen appliances, are widely used for blending, chopping, and mixing ingredients. Current food processors typically include a cutting board inside the container, usually fixed in place to support ingredients and protect the bottom of the container. However, this fixed cutting board has a problem: when the blades interfere with the ingredients, affecting their descent, the fixed board cannot move downwards to allow the blades room to move, thus affecting the normal operation of the blade lifting mechanism and potentially causing the motor to stall and break down. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0036] See Figures 1-10 A food processor includes a container 10, a head component 20, a blade component 30, and a drive module 40, wherein the container 10 forms a cavity 100;

[0037] The drive module 40 is disposed within the head component 20, and the drive module 40 includes a mounting platform 400;

[0038] A movable shaft 420 is reciprocatingly mounted on a mounting platform 400 along a first direction X and rotatably mounted relative to the mounting platform 400. The movable shaft 420 is connected to the tool element 30.

[0039] A drive shaft 430 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 400.

[0040] The drive shaft 430 is connected to the movable shaft 420 in a transmission connection. When the drive shaft 430 rotates, it drives the movable shaft 420 to rotate.

[0041] The moving shaft 420 is provided with a driven wheel 470, the driven wheel 470 is provided with an annular track groove 471, and the transmission shaft 430 is provided with an inclined drive wheel 460, the inclined drive wheel 460 being at least partially movably inserted into the annular track groove 471.

[0042] The tilting drive wheel 460 is gradually tilted along the second direction S. When the tilting drive wheel 460 rotates, it can drive the tilting drive wheel 460 together with the transmission shaft 430 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position along the first direction X.

[0043] Rotating module 50, which is mounted on mounting platform 400 and is connected to drive shaft 430.

[0044] The working principle of the food processor: Under the action of the rotating module 50, it drives the transmission shaft 430 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 430 rotates, it synchronously drives the tilting drive wheel 460 and the moving shaft 420 to rotate.

[0045] The rotation of the movable shaft 420 drives the tool element 30 to rotate. Simultaneously, under the action of the tilting drive wheel 460, it can move within the annular track groove 471, causing the annular track groove 471 to move downwards or upwards. Its movement principle is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the tilting drive wheel 460 has a highest point 461 and a lowest point 462. When the tilting drive wheel 460 between the highest point 461 and the lowest point 462 contacts the annular track groove 471 in sequence, it is a stroke of rising or falling. Under the constraint of the height difference of the tilting drive wheel 460, the driven wheel 470 is driven to rise or fall, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the drive shaft 430 along the first direction X.

[0046] In this invention, each rotation of the tilt drive wheel 460 represents a complete cooking process, which is divided into the descending cooking stroke and the rising retracting stroke of the blade element 30.

[0047] Descent cooking stroke: The moving shaft 420 drives the cutting tool element 30 to move downward and rotate to process the material located in the cavity 100;

[0048] Rising retraction stroke: The moving axis 420 drives the tool element 30 to move upward and rotate, so that the tool element 30 retracts upward.

[0049] In this invention, the second direction S and the first direction X are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the rotating module 50 includes a drive motor 510 mounted on the mounting platform 400. The drive motor 510 is equipped with a first gear 520, and the transmission shaft 430 is equipped with a second gear 540. The first gear 520 and the second gear 540 are connected in a transmission manner. In this embodiment, the drive motor 510 and the transmission shaft 430 are driven by gears. Alternatively, the drive motor 510 and the transmission shaft 430 can be driven by a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt.

[0051] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a third gear 530 is provided between the first gear 520 and the second gear 540. The first gear 520, the third gear 530, and the second gear 540 mesh sequentially to complete the transmission connection and realize power transmission. The advantage of gear transmission is that the transmission ratio is precise, there will be no slippage or other problems, and the stability of the transmission is improved.

[0052] See Figure 5 The mounting platform 400 is provided with a main shaft 410, and the movable shaft 420 has a hollow interior forming an open shaft cavity 421. The main shaft 410 is movably inserted into the shaft cavity 421, and the movable shaft 420 is reciprocating relative to the main shaft 410 along a first direction X. The function of the main shaft 410 is to provide stable guidance for the movable shaft 420 to ensure the movement and rotational stability of the movable shaft 420.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the spindle 410 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 400. The rotatable spindle 410, compared to a fixed spindle, reduces friction, especially when the movable shaft 420 rotates, as the spindle 410 can rotate synchronously to avoid wear. Alternatively, the spindle 410 can be fixed, in which case the movable shaft 420 moves vertically and rotates relative to the spindle 410.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the movable shaft 420 is rotatably configured relative to the main shaft 410. The purpose of this rotational configuration is that when the main shaft 420 is fixed, the movable shaft 420 must be rotatably configured relative to the main shaft 410. However, when the main shaft 410 is rotatable, the movable shaft 420 may or may not rotate. The advantage of this rotational configuration is that when the movable shaft 420 rotates, it can rotate relative to the main shaft 410, thus preventing the main shaft 410 from jamming and becoming unable to rotate, which would affect the rotation of the movable shaft 420.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the drive shaft 430 is equipped with a drive gear 440, and the moving shaft 420 is connected to a driven gear 450, with the driven gear 450 meshing with the drive gear 440.

[0056] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the driven gear 450 is a long gear. During the process of the transmission shaft 430 moving from the first position to the second position along the first direction X, the driving gear 440 maintains the meshing relationship with the driven gear 450 to maintain the transmission cooperation relationship between the two.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting platform 400 is provided with a first elastic element 480. The first elastic element 480 is used to apply a force to the movable shaft 420, so that the movable shaft 420 moves from a second position to a first position along a first direction X. Since the first direction X is the vertical direction, when the movable shaft 420 moves from the first position to the second position, it moves from top to bottom. And when it moves from the second position to the first position, it moves from bottom to top. The force of the first elastic element 480 is to ensure that the movable shaft 420 can move from the second position to the first position along the first direction X, and to prevent the movable shaft 420 from failing to return to its original position.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting platform 400 is provided with a through hole 401 that runs vertically through the platform, and the movable shaft 420 is movably disposed within the through hole 401.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, a positioning sleeve 481 is connected to the movable shaft 420. The first elastic element 480 is a spring, which is sleeved on the movable shaft 420. The lower end of the spring is connected to the mounting platform 400, and the upper end of the spring is connected to the positioning sleeve 481. The positioning sleeve 481 is specifically located on the movable shaft 420 below the driven wheel 470.

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a cutting board module 60, which is disposed in the cavity 100 and is reciprocated relative to the container 10 along the first direction X.

[0061] The function of the cutting board module 60 is to hold food. Its telescopic function is to cooperate with the knife element 30 to reciprocate along the first direction X. This prevents the cutting board from being unable to move and causing interference when the knife element 30 reciprocates along the first direction X, thus reducing noise. It also prevents damage to components due to interference.

[0062] like Figure 3As shown, the cutting board module 60 includes a cutting board body 610, which is disposed in the cavity 100 and reciprocates relative to the cavity 100 along a first direction X; a second elastic element 650 is provided between the cutting board body 610 and the container 10 for pushing the cutting board body 610 to reset.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting board body 610 is provided with a plurality of guide posts 630 extending in the first direction X. The container 10 is provided with guide holes 140 corresponding to the positions of the guide posts 630. The guide posts 630 pass through the guide holes 140. The second elastic element 650 is sleeved on the guide posts 630. One end of the second elastic element 650 is connected to the cutting board body 610 and the other end is connected to the container 10.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the second elastic element 650 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide post 630.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the container 10 has a mounting hole 110 at its bottom, and the cutting board body 610 has a columnar structure and is movably disposed within the mounting hole 110. The container 10 has a base 130 at its bottom, and a guide hole 140 is disposed on the base 130. A limiting bolt 640 is connected to the bottom of the guide post 630, and the limiting bolt 640 abuts against the base 130 to constrain the guide post 630 to move upward and disengage from the guide hole 140.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, a sealing ring 120 is provided on the wall of the mounting hole 110, and the sealing ring 120 fits against the outer wall of the cutting board body 610.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting board body 610 is provided with a limiting part 620. The limiting part 620 fits against the bottom wall of the container 10 to restrain the cutting board body 610 from moving upward and prevent it from detaching from the mounting hole 110.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple guide posts 630 are connected to a connecting seat 660, and the cutting board body 610 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 660.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the cutting board body 610 is a concave surface that gradually curves downward from the outside to the inside, forming a cavity 611 for positioning materials. The knife element 30 is disposed above the cutting board body 610, and the first direction X is the vertical direction. The function of the cavity 611 is to prevent food from deviating outward and detaching from the cutting board.

[0070] like Figure 9 As shown, the cutting tool element 30 includes a connecting shaft 310, one end of which is connected to a cutting disc 320, and the other end of which is connected to the moving shaft 420. The cutting disc 320 has evenly distributed nail heads 330 on its end face away from the connecting shaft 310.

[0071] The working principle of the cutting tool element 30 is as follows: under the action of the moving shaft 420, the cutting tool element 30 moves downward and rotates. The cutting disc 320 moves and presses against the food surface, while the nail head 330 penetrates into the food. Under the action of rotational force, the nail head 330 slides inside the food to achieve the cutting effect. At the same time, since the cutting tool element 30 rotates and moves synchronously during operation, the continuous rotation of the cutting disc 320 ensures that the nail head 330 rotates continuously, thus preventing the nail head 330 from engaging with the food and causing the food to move upward synchronously when the cutting tool element 330 moves upward.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the movable shaft 420 is provided with a connecting joint 490, and the connecting shaft 310 is installed on the connecting joint 490 by means of a screw thread or threaded connection. This allows the movable shaft 420 to drive the connecting shaft 310 to move along the first direction X. Furthermore, the movable shaft 420 and the connecting shaft 310 can be integrally formed to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0073] Furthermore, the nail head 330 has a conical structure and is made of plastic.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the head component 20 is connected to a cover 200, which is detachably connected to the container 10. The cover 200 is provided to seal the container 10. The cover 200 can be connected to the container 10 using a snap-on or screw-on structure.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, a pressing element 720 is movably disposed on the machine head component 20. The pressing element 720 can move relative to the machine head component 20 from the stop position to the start position. A third elastic element 730 is disposed on the machine head component 20. The third elastic element 730 applies a force to the pressing element 720, which keeps the pressing element 720 in the stop position. A micro switch 710 is disposed on the machine head component 20. When the machine head component 20 is in the start position, it is in contact with the micro switch 710. The micro switch 710 sends an electrical signal to the circuit board, and the circuit board controls the drive motor 510 to start.

[0076] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
