Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically relating to an egg beater. Background Technology

[0002] An egg beater is a tool used to thoroughly mix egg whites and yolks into an egg liquid, or to beat egg whites and yolks separately until foamy. In addition, egg beaters can also be used to whip cream and mix ingredients. For bakers, an egg beater is one of the essential baking tools when making Western-style pastries.

[0003] Traditional egg beaters typically consist of a handle and a mixing head connected to the handle. When in use, users can hold the handle to operate the mixing head to mix liquid ingredients such as egg whites, egg yolks, and cream, making the mixing operation convenient.

[0004] However, existing egg beaters have a drawback: after using them to mix liquid ingredients, the mixing head is often covered in liquid. If this liquid isn't cleaned, it can easily drip onto the countertop and make a mess, requiring time-consuming cleanup. Therefore, after using an existing egg beater, users typically scrape the liquid off the mixing head and collect it in a bowl to avoid dripping and wasting liquid. However, scraping the liquid off the mixing head by hand is cumbersome and not hygienic. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an egg beater that can easily scrape off liquid ingredients adhering to the mixing part.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an egg beater, including a handle and a mixing head, and also including a scraper. The mixing head is composed of several mixing strips, the rear end of each mixing strip is connected to the front end of the handle, and the scraper has scraping holes corresponding to the positions of each mixing strip. Each scraping hole of the scraper is fitted onto the outer side of the corresponding mixing strip, and the inner side wall of each scraping hole abuts against the outer side wall of the corresponding mixing strip. The scraper can slide back and forth along each mixing strip through its scraping holes.

[0007] In the above solution, a scraper is fitted onto the stirring head, with each scraping hole of the scraper attached to the outside of the corresponding stirring strip. In use, the scraper is first pushed backward to the rear end of the stirring strip, and then the handle is held to operate the front end of each stirring strip to stir the liquid material. After stirring, the surface of each stirring strip will be covered with liquid material. The user can then lift the handle and position each stirring strip directly above the container holding the liquid material, and then push the scraper forward along each stirring strip. As the scraper slides forward, the scraping hole sidewalls of the scraper push the liquid material on the surface of the stirring strip forward, thus scraping the liquid material adhering to the stirring strip into the container by pushing the scraper forward. This cleaning operation is convenient and hygienic.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned stirring bar is made of an elastic material, which allows the stirring bar itself to have a certain degree of elasticity and be able to deform, so that the stirring bar is not prone to breakage during stirring.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear end of the aforementioned stirring bar is provided with a limiting member that restricts the scraper from sliding forward naturally. By restricting the scraper from sliding forward naturally, it can be prevented from falling into the liquid raw materials in the basin due to the scraper sliding forward naturally during stirring, thereby affecting the stirring operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned limiting components are protrusions respectively located on the inner side of the rear end of each stirring bar, and each scraping hole is an elongated structure. Since the stirring bar is made of elastic material, the scraping hole is designed as an elongated shape, allowing the stirring bar to move within the scraping hole towards its inner and outer ends. When no external force is applied, each stirring bar abuts against the inner sidewall of its corresponding scraping hole, and the scraper can slide until the rear side of the protrusion abuts against the front side of the scraper. When the rear side of the protrusion abuts against the front side of the scraper, the protrusion blocks the scraper from sliding forward, thus achieving the structural function of the aforementioned limiting components in restricting the scraper's natural forward sliding. Moving the stirring bar towards the outer end of the scraping hole and disengaging the protrusion from the front side of the scraper releases the restriction on the scraper, allowing it to slide forward along the stirring bar.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the aforementioned protrusion has an arc-shaped structure. When the sliding scraper reaches the position where the rear side of the protrusion abuts against the front side of the scraper, the protrusion can still prevent the scraper from sliding forward naturally. However, the user only needs to push the scraper forward forcefully, and the arc-shaped protrusion will slide along the side wall of the scraping hole and automatically detach from the front side wall of the scraper, thus releasing the restriction on the scraper. Essentially, by setting the protrusion to an arc-shaped structure, the user only needs to push the scraper forward forcefully to release the restriction on the scraper, without needing to move the stirring strip towards the outer end of the scraping hole to release the restriction, making operation more convenient.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned stirring bar has a circular cross-section, and the scraper is made of an elastic material. The width of the scraping hole is less than or equal to the diameter of the stirring bar. Because the scraper is made of an elastic material, the sidewall of the scraping hole has a certain degree of elasticity. This ensures that even if the width of the scraping hole is less than the diameter of the stirring bar, the scraper can still slide along the stirring bar, and the inner side of the scraping hole can fit more closely with the outer side of the stirring bar, thus allowing the scraping hole to more effectively remove liquid raw materials from the surface of the stirring bar. In addition, the length of the aforementioned scraping hole is greater than the sum of the diameters of the stirring bar and the protrusion, thus forming an elongated structure. This allows the stirring bar to move within the scraping hole towards its inner and outer ends, and also satisfies the requirement that the protrusion of the stirring bar can move towards its outer end and detach from the front side of the scraper.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the scraper is greater than the handle width. During use, the scraper can be slid to the rear of the protrusion and placed against the upper edge of the bowl, thus stopping the whisk against the edge and preventing it from sliding into the bowl and soiling the handle. When mixing liquid ingredients, if the user accidentally holds the whisk vertically with the mixing head facing upwards, the liquid on the mixing strip will slide towards the scraper. Because the scraper is wider than the handle, it blocks the liquid, preventing soiling the user's hands. Additionally, when placing the whisk on the countertop, the scraper edge and the rear end of the handle can be supported on the surface, keeping the mixing head upwards and away from the countertop, preventing it from getting dirty. The scraper's non-circular cross-section prevents it from rolling along the countertop, allowing for more stable placement of the whisk.

[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned stirring strips are in multiple sets, with two stirring strips in each set. The stirring strips are evenly distributed around the circumference of each set, and the front ends of the two stirring strips in each set are connected to each other by a connecting rod. The connecting rod is located in front of the scraper. When the scraper slides forward to the rear of the connecting rod, the connecting rod will prevent the scraper from sliding forward excessively and disengaging from the stirring strip, thus ensuring the installation stability of the scraper.

[0015] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the front side of the scraper corresponding to the position of the connecting rod. The sliding scraper can make the groove engage and disengage with the connecting rod. With the groove and the connecting rod engaged, the scraper can slide forward closer to the front end of the stirring bar, thereby more thoroughly scraping the liquid raw materials on the stirring bar and reducing the swaying of the scraper relative to the stirring bar, making the structure more stable.

[0016] Furthermore, the handle, mixing bar, and scraper are all made of plastic. Plastic is elastic and lightweight, making it easier to hold and operate the mixer. The handle also has a hanging hole at the rear, allowing the whisk to be conveniently hung on a wall hook or other object.

[0017] After mixing liquid ingredients, this new type of whisk allows for easy cleaning by simply pushing the scraper forward, scraping the liquid ingredients adhering to the mixing strips into the bowl. Compared to traditional whisks, cleaning this whisk is much more convenient and hygienic. The raised section restricts the scraper's forward sliding, while the connecting rod prevents it from sliding excessively forward and detaching from the mixing strips, ensuring the scraper's stability. Furthermore, the scraper allows the whisk to be stably positioned against the edge of the bowl or placed securely on the countertop. When the whisk is held vertically, the scraper also prevents liquid ingredients from soiling your hands. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an egg beater, including a handle 1 and a mixing head 2, and also includes a scraper 3. The mixing head 2 is composed of several mixing strips 21. The rear end of each mixing strip 21 is connected to the front end of the handle 1. The scraper 3 has scraping holes 31 corresponding to the positions of each mixing strip 21. Each scraping hole 31 of the scraper 3 is respectively fitted onto the outer side of the corresponding mixing strip 21, and the inner side wall of each scraping hole 31 abuts against the outer side wall of the corresponding mixing strip 21. The scraper 3 can slide back and forth along each mixing strip 21 through its scraping holes 31.

[0029] The aforementioned mixing bar 21 and scraper 3 are made of elastic material, allowing the mixing bar 21 to deform and preventing breakage during mixing. Preferably, the handle 1, mixing bar 21, and scraper 3 are all made of plastic. Plastic is elastic and lightweight, making it easier to hold and operate the mixing device. Furthermore, the rear end of the handle 1 has a hanging hole 10, allowing the whisk to be hung on a wall hook or other object for convenient placement.

[0030] When using the egg beater in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the scraper 3 can be pushed backward to the rear end of the stirring bar 21, with the rear side of the scraper 3 abutting against the front side of the handle 1. Then, the handle 1 is held to operate the front end of each stirring bar 21 to stir the liquid material. After stirring, the surface of each stirring bar 21 will be covered with liquid material. The user can pick up the handle 1 and move each stirring bar 21 to a position directly above the container holding the liquid material, and then push the scraper 3 forward along each stirring bar 21 to the front end of the stirring bar 21. Figure 4As shown, during the forward sliding of the scraper 3, the side wall of the scraper hole 31 of the scraper 3 will push the liquid material on the surface of the stirring bar 21 forward. In this way, the liquid material adhering to the stirring bar 21 can be scraped into the basin by pushing the scraper 3 forward, making the cleaning operation convenient and hygienic.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] This embodiment is a further improvement on the egg beater structure of Embodiment 1. The improvement is as follows: Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the rear end of the aforementioned stirring bar 21 is provided with a limiting member that restricts the scraper 3 from sliding forward naturally. By restricting the scraper 3 from sliding forward naturally, it can be prevented from falling into the liquid raw materials in the basin due to the scraper 3 sliding forward naturally during stirring, thereby affecting the stirring operation.

[0033] Specifically, the aforementioned limiting members are protrusions 211 respectively located on the inner side of the rear end of each stirring bar 21, and each of the aforementioned scraping holes 31 is an elongated structure. Since the stirring bar 21 is made of elastic material, by setting the scraping hole 31 into an elongated shape, the stirring bar 21 can move within the scraping hole 31 towards its inner and outer ends. For example, Figure 2 , 3 As shown, each stirring bar 21 abuts against the inner side wall of the corresponding scraper hole 31 without external force. The scraper 3 can slide to the position where the rear side of the protrusion 211 abuts against the front side of the scraper 3. When the rear side of the protrusion 211 abuts against the front side of the scraper 3, the protrusion 211 will block the scraper 3 from sliding forward, thereby realizing the structural function of the limiting member that restricts the scraper 3 from sliding forward naturally.

[0034] More specifically, when the scraper 3 is slid backward to the position where it abuts against the front end of the handle 1, the rear side of the protrusion 211 abuts against the front side of the scraper 3, thus preventing the scraper 3 from sliding forward. At the same time, the front end of the handle 1 prevents the scraper 3 from sliding backward, thereby restricting the scraper 3 from sliding back and forth and ensuring the installation stability of the scraper 3. When the stirring bar 21 is moved towards the outer end of the scraping hole 3 and the protrusion 211 is disengaged from the front side of the scraper 3, the restriction on the forward sliding of the scraper 3 is released, thus allowing the scraper 3 to slide forward along the stirring bar 21.

[0035] As an improvement to this embodiment, such as Figure 3 , 5As shown, the outer side of the protrusion 211 is an arc-shaped structure. When the sliding scraper 3 reaches the position where the rear side of the protrusion 211 abuts against the front side of the scraper 3, the protrusion 211 can still prevent the scraper 3 from sliding forward naturally. However, the user only needs to push the scraper 3 forward forcefully, and the arc-shaped protrusion 211 will slide along the side wall of the scraping hole 3 and automatically disengage from the front side wall of the scraper 3, thereby releasing the restriction on the scraper. Essentially, by setting the protrusion 211 to an arc-shaped structure, the user only needs to push the scraper 3 forward forcefully to release the restriction on the scraper 3, without having to move the stirring strip 211 towards the outer end of the scraping hole 3 to release the restriction, making operation more convenient.

[0036] Specifically, the cross-section of the aforementioned stirring bar 21 is circular, and the width of the scraping hole 31 is less than or equal to the diameter of the stirring bar 21. Since the scraper 3 is made of plastic, the sidewall of the scraping hole 31 has a certain degree of elasticity. This ensures that even if the width of the scraping hole 31 is less than or equal to the diameter of the stirring bar 21, the scraper 3 can still slide along the stirring bar 21, and the inner side of the scraping hole 31 can fit more closely to the outer side of the stirring bar 21, thus allowing the scraping hole 31 to more effectively scrape away liquid materials from the surface of the stirring bar 21. Preferably, the width of the aforementioned scraping hole 31 is preferably set to be less than the diameter of the stirring bar 21, which provides the best scraping effect on the stirring bar 21.

[0037] Furthermore, the length of the aforementioned scraping hole 31 is greater than the sum of the diameters of the stirring bar 21 and the protrusion 211, thereby forming a long strip structure in the scraping hole 31, so that the stirring bar 21 can move in the scraping hole 31 towards the inner and outer ends of the scraping hole 31, and satisfy the requirement that the protrusion 211 of the stirring bar 21 can move towards the outer end of the scraping hole 31 and disengage from the front side of the scraper 3.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] This embodiment is a further improvement on the egg beater structure of Embodiment 2. The improvement is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned stirring strips 21 are arranged in four groups, with two stirring strips in each group. The stirring strips are evenly distributed around the circumference of each group, and the two stirring strips in each group are connected at their front ends by a connecting rod 22 located in front of the scraper 3. Figure 4 As shown, when the scraper 3 is slid forward to the rear position of the connecting rod 22, the connecting rod 22 will prevent the scraper 3 from continuing to slide forward and disengage from the stirring bar 21, thus ensuring the installation stability of the scraper 3.

[0040] like Figure 2-4As shown, the front side of the scraper 3 is provided with slots 32 corresponding to the positions of each connecting rod 22. Sliding the scraper 3 forward to the front end of the stirring bar 21 will cause the slots 32 to engage with the connecting rods 22. With the slots 32 and connecting rods 22 engaging, the scraper 3 can slide forward closer to the front end of the stirring bar 21, thereby more thoroughly scraping the liquid raw materials on the stirring bar 21 and reducing the swaying of the scraper 3 relative to the stirring bar 21, making the structure more stable. Sliding the scraper 3 backward will disengage the slots 32 from the connecting rods 22.

[0041] In addition, the width of the scraper 3 mentioned above is greater than the width of the handle 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, when using it, you can first slide the scraper 3 to the position where it abuts against the front end of the handle 1, so that the rear side of the protrusion 211 abuts against the front side of the scraper 3 to restrict the scraper 3 from sliding naturally. Then, place the scraper 3 against the upper edge of the bowl 4. This way, the whisk can be stopped on the edge of the bowl 4, preventing the whisk from sliding down the edge of the bowl 4 into the bowl 4 and dirtying the handle 1.

[0042] And such Figure 2 As shown, when the user finishes mixing the liquid ingredients with the whisk, if the user accidentally holds the whisk vertically with the whisk head 2 facing upwards, the liquid ingredients stuck on the whisk bar 21 will slide down towards the scraper 3. Since the width of the scraper 3 is greater than the width of the handle 1, when the liquid ingredients slide down to the front side of the scraper 3, the scraper 3 can block the liquid ingredients to prevent them from getting the user's hands dirty.

[0043] For example Figure 1 As shown, when the whisk needs to be placed horizontally on the countertop, the edge of the scraper 3 and the rear end of the handle 1 can be supported on the countertop. This allows the mixing head 2 to face upwards and away from the countertop, preventing it from getting dirty. Preferably, the scraper 3 has a rounded square cross-section. This prevents the scraper 3 from rolling along the countertop when the whisk is placed, allowing it to be placed more stably.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
