Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a juicer, and more specifically, to a juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage. Background Technology

[0002] Slow juicers evolved from conventional juicers, their primary purpose being to turn fruit into juice to improve taste and convenience. However, slow juicers represent a significant leap forward from traditional cup blenders and slow juicers. Their low-speed spiral extrusion technology squeezes the juice out slowly, like squeezing a towel, without damaging the fruit's cell structure, thus preserving its nutrients. Furthermore, the low-speed juicing process avoids generating high heat, preventing the juice from oxidizing due to heat.

[0003] Currently, to ensure the stability of the entire machine during operation, the feeding grinder needs to be snapped together with the main body, and the juice collection cup is clamped and fixed by the cooperation of the two. This assembly method requires high precision in the assembly between the feeding grinder and the juice collection cup, and each component must be installed sequentially on the main body, which is relatively inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage that has a compact structure and improves the ease of product assembly.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a juicer with a locking mechanism and a switch linkage includes a main body, a juice collection cup detachably connected to the main body, a feeding grinder detachably connected to the juice collection cup, a cover provided at the opening of the feeding grinder, a switch linkage assembly provided between the feeding grinder and the main body, and a locking mechanism connected to the switch linkage assembly located in the main body, the locking mechanism being provided between the main body and the juice collection cup.

[0006] When the main body, juice collection cup, and feed grinder are assembled, and the cover is assembled with the feed grinder, the switch linkage assembly drives the locking mechanism to lock and position the juice collection cup on the main body.

[0007] In the aforementioned juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage, the switch linkage assembly includes an upper push rod slidably disposed within the side wall cavity of the feed grinder, and the upper push rod is connected to a first return spring.

[0008] A lower push rod is movably mounted on the main body to cooperate with the upper push rod, and the lower end of the lower push rod cooperates with the sensor; the lower push rod is connected to the locking mechanism.

[0009] In the aforementioned juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage, the locking mechanism includes a positioning hole provided on the outer wall of the juice collection cup, an elastic locking pin assembly movably disposed on the main body to cooperate with the positioning hole, and an inclined guide structure provided between the elastic locking pin assembly and the opposite lower push rod. When the lower push rod moves downward, the elastic locking pin assembly extends forward under the guidance of the inclined guide structure.

[0010] When the main body, juice collection cup, and feeding grinder are assembled but the cover is not assembled with the feeding grinder, the free end of the elastic locking pin assembly is located outside the positioning hole.

[0011] When the main body, juice collection cup, and feeding grinder are assembled, and the cover is assembled with the feeding grinder, the inclined guide structure cooperates to push the elastic locking pin assembly to move so that the free end of the elastic locking pin assembly is located in the positioning hole.

[0012] In the juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage described above, the inclined guide structure includes a first guide inclined surface disposed on the switch linkage assembly located in the main body.

[0013] A second guide slope or convex surface that cooperates with the first guide slope (7) is formed on the end face of the elastic locking pin assembly opposite to the first guide slope.

[0014] In the juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage described above, the elastic locking pin assembly includes a fixed seat mounted on the main body, a positioning pin movably passing through the fixed seat, and a second return spring between the positioning pin and the fixed seat; in the initial state, the positioning pin is located outside the positioning hole under the elastic force of the second return spring.

[0015] In the juicer with a locking mechanism switch linkage described above, the fixed base is provided with a guide hole, and the positioning pin passes through the guide hole.

[0016] The locating pin has a clearance hole, and the fixed seat has a pin that mates with the clearance hole; the locating pin is movably connected to the fixed seat via the pin.

[0017] With the above-described structure, this invention uses a switch linkage assembly to drive a locking mechanism that locks the juice collection cup in place on the main unit. This eliminates the need for a snap-fit ​​structure between the feed grinder and the main unit, and allows components other than the main unit to be assembled before being installed onto it, making assembly and disassembly more convenient, quick, and flexible.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a juicer with a locking mechanism and switch linkage, comprising a main body 1, a juice collection cup 2 detachably connected to the main body 1, a feed grinder 3 detachably connected to the juice collection cup 2, a cover 4 provided at the opening of the feed grinder 3, a switch linkage assembly 5 provided between the feed grinder 3 and the main body 1, and a locking mechanism 6 connected to the switch linkage assembly 5 located inside the main body 1, the locking mechanism 6 being disposed between the main body 1 and the juice collection cup 2. In this embodiment, the cover is hinged to the feed grinder; of course, the cover can also be detachably connected to the feed grinder, which is an equivalent alternative readily conceived by those skilled in the art.

[0024] When the main unit 1, juice collection cup 2, and feed grinder 3 are assembled, and the cover 4 is assembled with the feed grinder 3, the switch linkage assembly 5 drives the locking mechanism 6 to lock and position the juice collection cup 2 on the main unit 1. The locking mechanism prevents the juice collection cup from moving upwards during operation even when the feed grinder is not properly engaged with the main unit 1, and also prevents the upper components of the machine from separating from the main unit 1.

[0025] Preferably, the switch linkage assembly 5 includes an upper push rod 5a slidably disposed in the side wall cavity of the feeding grinder 3, and the upper push rod 5a is connected to a first return spring 5b.

[0026] A lower push rod 5c, which cooperates with the upper push rod 5a, is movably mounted on the main body 1. The lower end of the lower push rod 5c cooperates with the sensor; the lower push rod 5c is connected to the locking mechanism 6. Of course, the switch linkage assembly is prior art, and those skilled in the art can also use switch linkage assemblies with other structures.

[0027] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 6 includes a positioning hole 6a provided on the outer wall of the juice collection cup 2, and an elastic locking pin assembly 8 that cooperates with the positioning hole 6a is movably provided on the main body 1. An inclined guide structure is provided between the elastic locking pin assembly 8 and the opposite lower push rod 5c. When the lower push rod 5c moves downward, the elastic locking pin assembly 8 extends forward under the guidance of the inclined guide structure.

[0028] When the main body 1, juice collection cup 2 and feeding grinder 3 are assembled but the cover 4 is not assembled with the feeding grinder 3, the free end of the elastic locking pin assembly 8 is located outside the positioning hole 6a.

[0029] When the main body 1, juice collection cup 2 and feeding grinder 3 are assembled and the cover 4 is assembled with the feeding grinder 3, the inclined guide structure cooperates to push the elastic locking pin assembly 8 to move so that the free end of the elastic locking pin assembly 8 is located in the positioning hole 6a.

[0030] The juice collection cup is automatically positioned by the linkage assembly of the switch and the elastic locking pin assembly, which in turn engages with the positioning hole. This makes operation very convenient. When the juice collection cup is not properly installed, the elastic locking pin assembly cannot align with the positioning hole, and the switch and the linkage assembly cannot fall to the predetermined position. This prevents the sensor from being triggered and the lid from closing completely, providing double protection.

[0031] More preferably, in this embodiment, the inclined guide structure includes a first guide inclined surface 7 disposed on the switch linkage assembly 5 located inside the main body 1.

[0032] A second guide slope 6b or a convex surface is formed on the end face of the elastic locking pin assembly 8 opposite to the first guide slope 7, which cooperates with the first guide slope 7. In this embodiment, a slope structure is used mainly for ease of processing, while a convex surface, such as a spherical convex surface, can reduce friction and can also achieve forward movement of the elastic locking pin assembly.

[0033] Of course, to reduce friction, when using a two-sloped structure, a protrusion can be provided on one of the slopes to reduce frictional resistance. These are all equivalent alternatives that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art. Based on the concept disclosed in this application, those skilled in the art can also use other structures, as long as they can achieve the forward push of the elastic locking pin assembly when the lower push rod moves downward.

[0034] More preferably, the elastic locking pin assembly 8 includes a fixed seat 8a disposed on the main body 1, a positioning pin 8b movably passing through the fixed seat 8a, and a second return spring 8c disposed between the positioning pin 8b and the fixed seat 8a; in the initial state, the positioning pin 8b is located outside the positioning hole 6a under the elastic force of the second return spring 8c.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed base 8a is provided with a guide hole 8d, and the positioning pin 8b passes through the guide hole 8d; the positioning pin 8b is provided with a clearance elongated hole 8e, and the fixed base 8a is provided with a pin 8f that cooperates with the clearance elongated hole 8e; the positioning pin 8b is movably connected to the fixed base 8a through the pin 8f.

[0036] Of course, based on the concept of this application, the positioning pin can also be positioned and reset using other structures. These are all things that those skilled in the art would readily conceive of.

[0037] In use, first assemble the feed grinder and the juice collection cup, then insert them into the main unit. When the cover and feed grinder are fully aligned and assembled, the switch linkage assembly will push the positioning pin in the locking mechanism into the positioning hole to fix the juice collection cup.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
