Description

A food processor Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking appliances, and in particular to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] A food processor is a common cooking appliance. It mainly uses the rotation of blades to pulverize food. In addition to making soy milk, it can also be used to make rice paste, fruit juice, corn paste, mung bean paste, thick soup, etc.

[0003] In related technologies, the blade position of a food processor is fixed, typically located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the blender. For example, during use, in addition to placing the food to be blended into the blender's container, a certain amount of liquid, such as water, is usually added. The food is then blended as the blade rotates. Generally, maintaining the blade's rotation speed at a predetermined speed or extending its working time can improve the blending quality and reduce food clumping or uneven blending.

[0004] However, lighter foods will float on the surface of the water. Since the position of the blade is fixed, keeping the rotation speed of the blade at a predetermined speed or extending the working time of the blade is not conducive to crushing lighter foods evenly, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a food processor in which the blade pulverizes food during rotation and agitates the food inside the cup during up-and-down movement. When the blade moves up and down to different heights, it can pulverize the food at different heights, reducing the clumping or uneven pulverization of food inside the cup, thereby improving the working efficiency of the present invention.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, a food processor includes: a cup body 10 having an inner cavity; a main unit 20 connected to the cup body 10; the main unit 20 includes a first motor 201 and a blade assembly; the blade assembly includes a second motor 202 and a blade 203, the output of the second motor 202 being drivenly connected to the connecting part of the blade 203 to drive the blade 203 to rotate within the inner cavity of the cup body 10; the output of the first motor 201 being drivenly connected to the fixing part of the second motor 202 to drive the blade assembly to move up and down.

[0043] This invention utilizes a second motor 202 to drive the blade head 203 to rotate, and a first motor 201 to drive the blade head assembly to move up and down. Thus, the blade head 203 can both rotate and move up and down. During rotation, the blade head 203 pulverizes the food; during up and down movement, it agitates the food inside the cup body 10. When the blade head 203 moves to different heights, it pulverizes the food at those different heights, reducing clumping and uneven pulverization inside the cup body 10, thereby improving the efficiency of this invention.

[0044] It should be noted that different types of food have different qualities and densities, and therefore different positions in water. For example, soaked soybeans, black beans, and rice will sink to the bottom, while sliced ​​fresh apples and dried red dates will float on the surface. The blade 203 of this invention can rotate and move up and down. When the blade 203 moves up and down to different heights, it can crush the food at different heights. Thus, even for lighter foods, this invention can achieve relatively efficient and uniform crushing.

[0045] It should be noted that the second motor 202 can also operate while the first motor 201 is working. That is, the cutter head 203 can rotate while it is moving up and down. In other words, the cutter head 203 can rotate while moving up and down. Of course, the first motor 201 can drive the cutter head assembly to a predetermined height before the second motor 202 is turned on, so that the cutter head 203 can rotate at the predetermined height. Therefore, the first motor 201 and the second motor 202 can be turned on simultaneously or sequentially, depending on the actual application requirements.

[0046] It should be noted that, for example, the cup body 10 can be set on the upper part of the main unit 20, the cup body 10 can be detachably set on the upper part of the main unit 20, or the cup body 10 can be connected and fixed to the upper part of the main unit 20, so as to facilitate use.

[0047] It should be noted that the rotation of the cutter head 203 refers to the rotation of the cutter head 203 itself. For example, when the central axis of the cutter head 203 coincides with the central axis of the output part of the second motor 202, the cutter head 203 rotates around its central axis.

[0048] In this embodiment of the utility model, the output part of the first motor 201 is connected and fixed with a transmission gear 204, and the fixed part of the second motor 202 is connected and fixed with a transmission rack 205. The transmission rack 205 extends along the axial direction of the cutter head 203, and the transmission gear 204 and the transmission rack 205 mesh with each other.

[0049] It should be noted that the transmission gear 204 rotates with the output of the first motor 201. When the first motor 201 rotates in the forward direction, the transmission gear 204 drives the transmission rack 205 to move upward along the axial direction of the cutter head 203, thereby driving the second motor 202 and the cutter head 203 to move upward. When the first motor 201 rotates in the reverse direction, the transmission gear 204 drives the transmission rack 205 to move downward along the axial direction of the cutter head 203, thereby driving the second motor 202 and the cutter head 203 to move downward.

[0050] Forward rotation is clockwise rotation, and reverse rotation is counterclockwise rotation; or, forward rotation is counterclockwise rotation, and reverse rotation is clockwise rotation.

[0051] In this embodiment of the utility model, the cutter head 203 includes a cutter bar 2031 and at least one blade 2032. The blade 2032 is connected and fixed to one end of the cutter bar 2031, and the output part of the second motor 202 is connected and fixed to the other end of the cutter bar 2031 to drive the cutter head 203 to rotate.

[0052] It should be noted that the output part of the second motor 202 is connected and fixed to the tool bar 2031. The output part of the second motor 202 drives the tool bar 2031 and the blade 2032 to rotate by rotating. The output part of the first motor 201 includes the output shaft of the first motor 201, and the output part of the second motor 202 includes the output shaft of the second motor 202.

[0053] It should be noted that the cutter head 203 includes one or more blades 2032, each blade 2032 having multiple cutting edges.

[0054] For example, referring to Figure 4, the cutter head 203 includes four blades 2032, which are arranged radially in a cross shape. The four blades 2032 are made as a single piece, or they can be made separately and then connected as a single piece by screws, welding, or other means. Each blade 2032 has multiple cutting edges, which are curved, thereby increasing the length of the cutting edge. Of course, in some other application scenarios, the cutting edge can also be a straight cutting edge.

[0055] In this embodiment of the utility model, the blade head 203 includes at least two blades 2032, one of the two adjacent blades 2032 is inclined upward, and the other blade 2032 is inclined downward.

[0056] For example, referring to Figure 4, two of the four blades 2032 are inclined upwards, while the other two are inclined downwards. This increases the crushing range of the blade head 203 and improves the crushing efficiency. When the blade head 203 rotates, the fluid passing through the blade head 203 is cut by the four blades 2032 into multiple streams, which helps to achieve uniform crushing.

[0057] In this embodiment of the utility model, the main unit 20 also includes a housing 206 and a connecting seat 207. The housing 206 has an inner cavity, and the inner cavity of the housing 206 and the inner cavity of the cup body 10 are interconnected through a first connecting hole 208. The connecting seat 207 is inserted through the first connecting hole 208 and is locked to the housing 206 by a locking nut 209. The connecting seat 207 is provided with a second connecting hole 210 in the axial direction, and the cutter head 203 extends into the inner cavity of the cup body 10 through the second connecting hole 210.

[0058] For example, the first motor 201, the second motor 202, the transmission gear 204, and the transmission rack 205 are all located in the inner cavity of the housing 206. The fixing part of the first motor 201 is connected and fixed to the housing 206 by welding, screw connection, or other means. The fixing part of the first motor 201 includes the outer shell of the first motor 201 and other relatively fixed structures. The fixing part of the second motor 202 includes the outer shell of the second motor 202 and other relatively fixed structures.

[0059] Thus, the end of the blade assembly connected to the first motor 201 is located in the inner cavity of the housing 206, and the end of the blade assembly used for crushing food passes through the first connecting hole 208 and is located in the inner cavity of the cup body 10. That is, the blade 2032 is located in the inner cavity of the cup body 10. This allows the first motor 201 and other structures to be arranged in the main unit 20 and the food to be contained in the cup body 10. Furthermore, the connecting seat 207 is provided to facilitate the installation of the blade assembly and to separate the inner cavity of the housing 206 from the inner cavity of the cup body 10, thus preventing mutual contamination.

[0060] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first end of the connecting seat 207 is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 206, and the second end of the connecting seat 207 is disposed in the inner cavity of the cup body 10. The first end of the connecting seat 207 is larger than the second end of the connecting seat 207, and the second end of the connecting seat 207 is locked to the housing 206 by a locking nut 209.

[0061] For example, referring to Figure 3, the connector 207 is T-shaped, and the outer diameter of the first end of the connector 207 is larger than the inner diameter of the first connecting hole 208. During installation, the connector 207 is inserted into the first connecting hole 208, and then the second end of the connector 207 is locked to the housing 206 using the locking nut 209, thus completing the installation of the connector 207.

[0062] In this embodiment of the utility model, the connecting seat 207 has an inner cavity, and at least one first flexible sealing ring 211 is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting seat 207. The first flexible sealing ring 211 is sleeved on the outside of the cutter head 203; at least one second flexible sealing ring 212 is provided between the connecting seat 207 and the housing 206.

[0063] For example, referring to Figure 3, the blade 2031 passes through the inside of the second connecting hole 210, the blade 2032 is disposed in the inner cavity of the cup body 10, and a plurality of first flexible sealing rings 211 are further disposed on the outside of the blade 2031, thereby improving the sealing between the blade 2031 and the connecting seat 207, and reducing or preventing food in the cup body 10 from entering the interior of the housing 206 from the position of the second connecting hole 210.

[0064] It should be noted that, since the first flexible sealing ring 211 is a flexible structure, when the tool bar 2031 moves up and down or rotates, the first flexible sealing ring 211 can avoid interfering with the tool bar 2031 by deformation, so that the tool bar 2031 can move up and down and rotate.

[0065] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 3, the second flexible sealing ring 212 can improve the sealing between the housing 206 and the connecting seat 207, reducing or preventing food inside the cup 10 from entering the interior of the housing 206 from the position of the first connecting hole 208.

[0066] For example, the first flexible sealing ring 211 is a silicone sealing ring or a rubber sealing ring, and the second flexible sealing ring 212 is a silicone sealing ring or a rubber sealing ring.

[0067] In this embodiment of the utility model, the host 20 includes a transmission auxiliary wheel 213, a transmission gear 204 is disposed on one side of the fixing part of the second motor 202, and at least one transmission auxiliary wheel 213 is disposed on the other side of the fixing part of the second motor 202. The transmission auxiliary wheel 213 is rotatably disposed relative to the second motor 202, and the wheel surface of the transmission auxiliary wheel 213 contacts the outer wall of the fixing part of the second motor 202.

[0068] Since the transmission gear 204 is located on one side of the fixed part of the second motor 202 and the transmission auxiliary wheel 213 is located on the other side of the fixed part of the second motor 202, the second motor 202 moves up and down, driving the transmission auxiliary wheel 213 to rotate. The transmission auxiliary wheel 213 assists the second motor 202 in moving up and down by rotating. The second motor 202 is subjected to force on both sides, which improves the stability of the second motor 202 moving up and down, and thus improves the overall stability of the cutter head assembly moving up and down.

[0069] In this embodiment of the utility model, the second motor 202 is provided with a guide groove 214, which extends along the axial direction of the transmission rack 205. The transmission auxiliary wheel 213 is connected to the second motor 202 through the guide groove 214. That is, the guide groove 214 extends along the vertical lifting direction of the second motor 202. Thus, by providing the guide groove 214, it is beneficial to realize the directional lifting of the second motor 202.

[0070] Furthermore, the fixed part of the second motor 202 is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide post 215. The second motor 202 and the housing 206 are slidably connected through the cooperation of the guide hole and the guide post 215. The guide post 215 and the housing 206 are connected and fixed by welding, snap-fit ​​or other means. The guide post 215 extends along the axial direction of the transmission rack 205, that is, the guide post 215 extends along the vertical lifting direction of the second motor 202. The guide post 215 facilitates the directional lifting of the second motor 202.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment of the present invention, two transmission auxiliary wheels 213 are provided on the other side of the fixing part of the second motor 202. The two transmission auxiliary wheels 213 are arranged along the axial direction of the second motor 202. The transmission gear 204 and the two transmission auxiliary wheels 213 form three connection points with the second motor 202, and the lines connecting the three connection points form a triangle.

[0073] Referring again to Figure 6, for example, the triangle formed by the lines connecting the three connection points is an isosceles triangle; of course, in other embodiments, the triangle formed by the lines connecting the three connection points is an equilateral triangle.

[0074] Since the transmission gear 204 is located on one side of the fixed part of the second motor 202, and the two transmission auxiliary wheels 213 are located on the other side of the fixed part of the second motor 202, the second motor 202 moves up and down, driving the transmission auxiliary wheels 213 to rotate. The second motor 202 is subjected to force on both sides, and the line connecting the three connection points forms a triangle, which further improves the stability of the second motor 202 moving up and down, thereby further improving the stability of the overall up and down movement of the cutter head assembly.

[0075] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
