[0002] Currently, meat grinders, as an important component of kitchen appliances, are widely used in the process of cutting meat or other ingredients into small particles.

[0003] However, existing meat grinders are prone to jamming when processing hard or large ingredients, leading to equipment damage or reduced efficiency. When processing soft or small ingredients, they are often pushed or squeezed instead of being effectively cut, affecting the fineness of the minced meat and potentially causing waste. Therefore, existing meat grinders produce inconsistent processing results when handling ingredients of different textures and sizes, impacting processing efficiency and user experience.

[0006] Furthermore, the blade assembly includes at least two sub-blade assemblies, which are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the food processor; wherein each sub-blade assembly includes a blade shaft and at least one blade, and the distance between at least two adjacent sub-blade assemblies is adjustable to adjust the distance between at least two adjacent blades.

[0007] Furthermore, the sub-blade assembly near the first drive device is driven to connect with the first drive device, and the sub-blade assembly near the inner bottom surface of the cooking cup is movably connected to the inner bottom surface.

[0008] Furthermore, at least two sub-blade assemblies include a first sub-blade assembly and a second sub-blade assembly. The food processor also includes: a second drive device, the body of which is disposed on the first sub-blade assembly; and a transmission assembly, the drive end of which is drivenly connected to the second sub-blade assembly via the transmission assembly to drive the second sub-blade assembly to move closer to or away from the first sub-blade assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission component is a lead screw and nut mechanism, with the drive end connected to the lead screw drive of the lead screw and nut mechanism to drive the lead screw to rotate; the nut of the lead screw and nut is fixedly connected to the second sub-tool assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes: a screw, with a drive end connected to the screw drive to drive the screw to rotate; the extension direction of the screw is consistent with the height direction of the food processor; and a nut, which is sleeved on the screw and threadedly connected to the screw, and the nut is fixedly connected to the second sub-blade assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the cutter shaft of the first sub-cutting tool assembly has a receiving recess, and the body of the second drive device is disposed within the receiving recess; wherein the body is engaged, bonded, or connected to the receiving recess by fasteners.

[0012] Furthermore, the food processor also includes: an elastic connecting sleeve, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the blade shafts of the first sub-blade assembly and the second sub-blade assembly; wherein the elastic connecting sleeve is made of rubber or silicone.

[0013] Furthermore, the food processor also includes: a distance measuring device for detecting the distance between at least two adjacent blades; or, a distance measuring device for detecting the distance between a first sub-blade assembly and a second sub-blade assembly; and a control module electrically connected to both the distance measuring device and the second drive device; wherein, when the detection value of the distance measuring device reaches a preset distance value, the control module controls the second drive device to stop operating.

[0034] To address the problem that existing meat grinders produce inconsistent processing results for ingredients of different textures and sizes, thus affecting their processing efficiency, this application provides a food processor.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the food processor includes a body 10, a food processor cup 20, and a blade assembly 30. The body 10 includes a housing 11 and a first drive unit 12 disposed within the housing 11. The food processor cup 20 is detachably connected to the housing 11. The first drive unit 12 is driven to rotate the blade assembly 30 within the food processor cup 20. The blade assembly 30 includes a blade shaft 31 and multiple blades 32. The multiple blades 32 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the blade shaft 31, and the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32 is adjustable to process ingredients of different sizes and / or textures.

[0036] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, different blade spacings are often required to achieve optimal results when processing different ingredients. For example, for hard or large ingredients, a larger blade spacing can prevent the ingredients from getting stuck while ensuring that they are effectively cut; while for soft or small ingredients, a smaller blade spacing can achieve finer mixing and cutting, avoiding over-crushing or uneven mixing. By adjusting the blade spacing, the food processor can provide more precise cutting control, thereby improving the efficiency of food processing and the quality of the final product. By making the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32 adjustable, the food processor can provide a wider range of cutting and mixing effects when processing ingredients of different sizes and / or textures. This allows the food processor to better adapt to processing a variety of ingredients, from hard nuts to soft berries, from large pieces of vegetables to small spices, thereby improving the versatility and scope of use of the food processor. This solves the problem in the prior art where meat grinders have inconsistent processing effects on ingredients of different textures and sizes, affecting their processing efficiency, and improves the user experience. Meanwhile, the adjustable blade spacing provides users with more autonomy. According to personal preferences or the needs of specific recipes, users can freely adjust the distance between the blades to achieve the ideal food processing effect. The above personalized design not only enhances the user-friendliness of the product, but also simplifies the operation process, making the food processor easier to use and maintain.

[0037] In this embodiment, a reasonable blade spacing can optimize the cutting path of the food, reduce the friction between the blade and the food, thereby reducing energy consumption during processing and effectively reducing noise levels during operation. At the same time, an appropriate blade spacing can prevent excessive wear of the blade 32 when processing food, thus extending the service life of the blade assembly 30 and reducing the cost and inconvenience for users when replacing blades.

[0038] Optionally, the blade assembly 30 includes at least two sub-blade assemblies 33, which are arranged sequentially along the height of the food processor. Each sub-blade assembly 33 includes a blade shaft 31 and at least one blade 32. The distance between at least two adjacent sub-blade assemblies 33 is adjustable to adjust the distance between the at least two adjacent blades 32. By including at least two sub-blade assemblies 33 in the blade assembly 30 and making the distance between at least two adjacent sub-blade assemblies 33 adjustable, the food processor can more flexibly handle ingredients of different sizes and textures, allowing users to adjust the spacing between the blades 32 according to the requirements of different ingredients. Simultaneously, the adjustable spacing design of the sub-blade assemblies 33 increases the ease of operation of the food processor, allowing users to intuitively control the cutting degree without frequent blade changes or manual adjustments, reducing operational complexity.

[0039] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 30 includes two sub-blade assemblies 33, which are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the food processor. Each sub-blade assembly 33 includes a blade shaft 31 and two blades 32. The distance between two adjacent sub-blade assemblies 33 is adjustable to adjust the distance between two adjacent blades 32.

[0040] It should be noted that the number of sub-tool assemblies 33 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, there may be three, four, five, six, or more sub-tool assemblies 33.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sub-blade assembly 33 near the first driving device 12 is driven and connected to the first driving device 12, and the sub-blade assembly 33 near the inner bottom surface of the blending cup 20 is movably connected to the inner bottom surface. Thus, by directly driving and connecting the sub-blade assembly near the first driving device to the driving device, the stability and efficient power transmission of the upper blades are ensured. Furthermore, designing the sub-blade assembly 33 near the inner bottom surface of the blending cup 20 to be movably connected to the inner bottom surface allows the lower blades to adjust and adapt according to the different textures and shapes of the ingredients, meeting the need to adjust the distance between two adjacent blades 32, thereby improving overall cutting efficiency and uniformity.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the food processor also includes a connecting structure 90, which is disposed on the lower surface of the second sub-blade assembly 332. The second sub-blade assembly 332 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the food processor cup 20 through the connecting structure 90.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, at least two sub-blade assemblies 33 include a first sub-blade assembly 331 and a second sub-blade assembly 332. The food processor also includes a second drive device 40 and a transmission assembly 50. The body of the second drive device 40 is mounted on the first sub-blade assembly 331. The drive end of the second drive device 40 is connected to the second sub-blade assembly 332 via the transmission assembly 50, driving the second sub-blade assembly 332 to move closer to or away from the first sub-blade assembly 331. In this way, by driving the second sub-blade assembly 332 closer to or away from the first sub-blade assembly 331 through the second drive device 40, the distance between the two blade assemblies 30 can be intelligently adjusted. This allows the food processor to automatically adjust cutting parameters according to the characteristics of the ingredients (such as hardness, size, viscosity, etc.), thereby processing ingredients of various sizes and textures more efficiently and precisely. Simultaneously, the dynamically adjusted blade spacing ensures effective cooperation between the upper and lower blades during the cutting process, preventing food from getting stuck or jammed between the blades, reducing cutting dead angles, and improving cutting uniformity and overall efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the distance between the first sub-blade assembly 331 and the second sub-blade assembly 332 can be adjusted by the second drive device 40 and the transmission assembly 50, so as to adjust the blade spacing of the food processor and thus process ingredients of different sizes and textures. In this way, the user does not need to manually adjust the blade spacing or frequently change blades. The food processor can automatically adapt to different food processing needs, simplifying the operation process and improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly 50 includes a screw 51 and a nut 52. The drive end is connected to the screw 51 to drive its rotation. The extension direction of the screw 51 is aligned with the height direction of the food processor. The nut 52 is fitted onto and threadedly connected to the screw 51, and is fixedly connected to the second sub-blade assembly 332. This threaded connection between the screw 51 and the nut 52 provides a precise and stable transmission method. Driven by the second drive device 40, the screw 51 rotates, converting its rotational motion into the linear motion of the nut 52. This, in turn, causes the second sub-blade assembly 332, fixedly connected to the nut 52, to rise or fall, achieving dynamic adjustment of the blade spacing. Compared to other mechanical or hydraulic adjustment methods, this method not only offers higher precision and more precise control over the cutting effect of the food, but is also cleaner, preventing the transmission assembly 50 from contaminating the food.

[0046] In this embodiment, the combined use of screw 51 and nut 52 makes the adjustment of the position of the second sub-blade assembly 332 completely controllable, avoiding the problem of inaccurate blade spacing adjustment caused by instability in the mechanical structure or control signal. This allows users to customize the settings of the blade assembly 30 according to the characteristics of the ingredients and personal preferences, improving the quality and efficiency of food processing. At the same time, users can intuitively observe the change in distance between the second sub-blade assembly 332 and the first sub-blade assembly 331 by controlling the second drive device 40, so as to accurately control the distance between them.

[0047] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the transmission assembly 50 is a lead screw and nut mechanism, with the drive end connected to the lead screw of the lead screw and nut mechanism to drive the lead screw to rotate. The nut of the lead screw and nut is fixedly connected to the second sub-tool assembly 332. In this way, the lead screw and nut mechanism can achieve high linear position accuracy, making the position adjustment of the second sub-tool assembly relative to the first sub-tool assembly extremely accurate, ensuring precise control of the blade spacing. Specifically, when the lead screw rotates, the nut moves linearly along the axis of the lead screw to adjust the distance between the first sub-tool assembly 331 and the second sub-tool assembly 332, thereby adjusting the blade spacing of the tool assembly 30. This not only reduces vibration and noise during the transmission process and ensures the stability and safety of the tool assembly during the adjustment process, but also improves the comfort of user operation.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the blade shaft 31 of the first sub-blade assembly 331 has a receiving recess 311, and the body of the second drive device 40 is disposed within the receiving recess 311. The second drive device 40 is a motor, with the body being the motor itself and the drive end being the motor shaft. Thus, the receiving recess 311 of the blade shaft 31 provides integrated space for the second drive device 40, allowing it to be tightly housed inside the blade shaft 31. This not only improves the space utilization of the blade shaft 31 and achieves a compact overall structure for the food processor, but also reduces the complexity of external wiring and transmission structures, simplifying assembly and maintenance. Simultaneously, the aforementioned design of the receiving recess 311 can, to some extent, act as a protective shell for the second drive device 40, protecting it from direct external environmental influences. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the blade shaft material helps dissipate heat from the drive device, extending the motor's lifespan and ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment during long-term operation.

[0049] Optionally, the machine body can be snapped, glued, or connected to the receiving recess 311 via fasteners. This connection method not only improves the connection stability between the machine body and the first sub-tool assembly 331, but also makes the connection more versatile, meeting different usage needs and working conditions, and enhancing the operator's processing flexibility.

[0050] In this embodiment, the body of the second drive device 40 is bonded to the first sub-tool assembly 331.

[0051] Optionally, the food processor also includes a flexible connecting sleeve, the two ends of which are connected to the blade shaft 31 of the first sub-blade assembly 331 and the blade shaft 31 of the second sub-blade assembly 332, respectively. The flexible connecting sleeve is made of rubber or silicone. The two ends of the flexible connecting sleeve are respectively fitted over at least a portion of the blade shaft 31 of the first sub-blade assembly 331 and the second sub-blade assembly 332, not only protecting the blade shaft 31 but also connecting the blade shaft 31 of the first and second sub-blade assemblies 331 and 332, further enhancing the connection strength of the blade assemblies 30 and preventing them from separating and affecting the normal use of the food processor. At the same time, the use of rubber or silicone for the flexible connecting sleeve allows for greater flexibility in material selection to meet different usage needs and working conditions, and also improves the processing flexibility of the operator.

[0052] Optionally, the food processor also includes a distance measuring device and a control module 70. The distance measuring device is used to detect the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32; or, the distance measuring device is used to detect the distance between the first sub-blade assembly 331 and the second sub-blade assembly 332. The control module 70 is electrically connected to both the distance measuring device and the second drive device 40. When the detected value of the distance measuring device reaches a preset distance value, the control module 70 controls the second drive device 40 to stop operating. In this way, the distance measuring device can monitor the distance between the blades 32 or the blade assembly 30 in real time, ensuring accuracy during the adjustment process. Simultaneously, the electrical connection between the control module and the distance measuring device and the second drive device 40 allows the second drive device 40 to automatically stop operating when the detected distance value reaches a preset safety or performance standard. This not only prevents over-adjustment of the blade spacing from causing equipment damage or poor food processing results, but also avoids safety accidents caused by improper operation or equipment malfunction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the user does not need to manually check the tool spacing. The automated control of the ranging device and the control module simplifies the operation process, saves adjustment time, and improves the user experience. At the same time, when the tool spacing reaches the ideal state, the control module can immediately stop the operation of the second drive device 40, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

[0054] Optionally, the preset distance value can be a standard value for ingredients of different sizes and / or textures; or, the preset distance value can be a custom value. In this way, the preset distance value serves as a standard value for different ingredients, allowing the food processor to automatically adjust the distance between the blade components according to the characteristics and needs of the ingredients being processed. This significantly improves the flexibility of the food processor in handling different ingredients and meets diverse user cooking needs. Simultaneously, the customizable preset distance value function allows users to freely set the blade spacing according to personal preferences and cooking experience. This personalized setting capability enhances user participation and creativity, satisfying different users' individual needs for the precision and texture of ingredient processing.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting a preset distance value, the cutting particle size or thickness of the ingredients can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the quality and effect of the ingredient processing reach the best state, thereby helping users to achieve perfect cutting of ingredients and improve the appearance and taste of the dishes.

[0056] In this embodiment, the food processor is a meat grinder.

[0057] Optionally, the food processor also includes a server and a terminal device. The control module 70 connects to the server via a wireless communication device, and the terminal device sends control signals to the control module 70. This allows users to remotely control the food processor via a terminal device (such as a smartphone or tablet), monitoring the device's status in real time, adjusting blade spacing, controlling the device's start and stop, and even preset food processing programs, regardless of their location. This greatly simplifies user operation, especially suitable for busy lifestyles or situations requiring advance preparation of ingredients. Simultaneously, the server can store a large amount of ingredient information and cooking data, recommending the most suitable processing parameters and recipes based on the type and quantity of ingredients input by the user. This not only simplifies the user's selection process but also improves the efficiency and quality of food processing, meeting the user's personalized cooking needs.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the food processor also includes a power cord 60, which supplies power to the first drive unit 12, the second drive unit 40, and the control module 70.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the food processor also includes a lid 80, which is placed on the food processor cup 20.

[0060] This application also provides a food processor control method, applicable to the aforementioned food processor; the food processor control method includes:

[0061] Step S1: Obtain the size and / or texture of the food to be processed, and determine the preset distance value L between at least two adjacent blades 32 in the food processor based on the size and / or texture;

[0062] Step S2: Obtain the initial distance L1 between at least two adjacent blades 32, and control the operating parameters of the second drive device 40 according to the relationship between the initial distance L1 and the preset distance L, so as to adjust the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32. The operating parameters include forward rotation, reverse rotation, start, and stop.

[0063] Specifically, the preset distance value L is adjusted according to the size and texture of the ingredients, ensuring a precise match between the blade spacing and the processing requirements. This improves the uniformity and efficiency of cutting, reduces food waste, and enhances the final taste and quality of the dish. By controlling the operating parameters (forward, reverse, start, stop) of the second drive device, the distance between the blades is automatically adjusted, avoiding the inconvenience and errors of manual adjustment. This improves the ease of operation and the system's intelligence. By making the distance between at least two adjacent blades adjustable, the food processor can provide a wider range of cutting and mixing effects when processing ingredients of different sizes and / or textures. This allows the food processor to better adapt to processing a variety of ingredients, from hard nuts to soft berries, from large pieces of vegetables to small spices, thereby improving the versatility and scope of use of the food processor. This solves the problem in existing meat grinders where the processing effects on ingredients of different textures and sizes are inconsistent, affecting processing efficiency and improving the user experience.

[0064] In this embodiment, the food processor control method further includes step S3, which follows step S2:

[0065] If the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32 reaches a preset distance value L, the second drive device 40 is controlled to stop running and the first drive device 12 is controlled to start.

[0066] Specifically, during the adjustment of the distance between two adjacent blades 32, when the distance between at least two adjacent blades 32 reaches a preset distance value L, the control module controls the second drive device 40 to stop operating, thus completing the blade spacing adjustment. Afterwards, the first drive device 12 is activated to rotate the blade assembly 30 to cut and stir the food.

[0067] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0068] The food processor includes a body, a blending cup, and a blade assembly. The body includes a housing and a first drive unit disposed within the housing. The blending cup is detachably connected to the housing. The first drive unit is driven by the blade assembly to rotate the blade assembly within the blending cup. The blade assembly includes a blade shaft and multiple blades, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the blade shaft. The distance between at least two adjacent blades is adjustable to process ingredients of different sizes and / or textures. Thus, different ingredients often require different blade spacings to achieve optimal results. For example, for hard or large ingredients, a larger blade spacing prevents the ingredients from getting stuck while ensuring effective cutting; while for soft or small ingredients, a smaller blade spacing allows for finer mixing and cutting, avoiding over-crushing or uneven mixing. By adjusting the blade spacing, the food processor can provide more precise cutting control, thereby improving the efficiency of food processing and the quality of the final product. By making the distance between at least two adjacent blades adjustable, the food processor can provide a wider range of cutting and mixing effects when handling ingredients of different sizes and / or textures. This allows the food processor to better adapt to processing a variety of ingredients, from hard nuts to soft berries, from large pieces of vegetables to fine spices, thereby increasing its versatility and scope of use. It solves the problem of inconsistent processing results for ingredients of different textures and sizes in existing meat grinders, which affects their processing efficiency and enhances the user experience. At the same time, the adjustable blade spacing provides users with more autonomy. Users can freely adjust the distance between the blades according to personal preferences or the needs of specific recipes to achieve the ideal food processing effect. This personalized design not only enhances the user-friendliness of the product but also simplifies the operation process, making the food processor easier to use and maintain.
