[0003] Based on the above, the existing technology has the following technical problems: the additional setup of the differential module results in a large number of parts, high production costs, and many assembly processes, which is not conducive to reducing production costs and needs further improvement.

[0013] When the transmission gear module drives the first differential gear and the second differential gear to drive each other, there is a speed difference between the first differential gear and the second differential gear.

[0014] Preferably, the transmission gear module includes a transmission gear;

[0015] The transmission gear is connected to the drive motor.

[0016] The transmission gear meshes with the first differential gear and the second differential gear respectively;

[0044] See Figures 1-5A differential transmission structure for a food processing machine includes a mounting platform 10; a threaded sleeve 20 rotatably disposed relative to the mounting platform 10; a cutter shaft 30 rotatably disposed relative to the mounting platform 10 and movable along an axial direction; the cutter shaft 30 at least partially extending into the threaded sleeve 20; a threaded mating portion 310 fixedly connected to the cutter shaft 30 and threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 20; and a first differential gear 40, which is kinetically connected to the threaded sleeve 20 to drive the threaded sleeve 20 to rotate relative to the mounting platform 10. The system includes: a second differential gear 50, which is connected to the cutter shaft 30 and is movable relative to the second differential gear 50 along its axial direction; a transmission gear module 60, which is rotatably arranged relative to the mounting platform 10 and is connected to the first differential gear 40 and the second differential gear 50; and a drive motor 70, which drives the transmission gear module 60 to operate. When the transmission gear module 60 drives the first differential gear 40 and the second differential gear 50, there is a speed difference between the first differential gear 40 and the second differential gear 50.

[0045] When the differential transmission structure used in the food processing machine is working, the drive motor starts and drives the transmission gear module to rotate relative to the mounting platform. Since the transmission gear module is simultaneously connected to the first differential gear and the second differential gear, its rotation will synchronously drive the first differential gear and the second differential gear to run.

[0046] The rotation of the first differential gear is transmitted to the threaded sleeve, causing the threaded sleeve to rotate relative to the mounting platform; the second differential gear drives the cutter shaft to rotate synchronously, and the cutter shaft can move relative to the second differential gear along the axial direction.

[0047] Due to the transmission characteristics of the gear module and the first and second differential gears, a speed difference is created when the first and second differential gears operate, resulting in a difference in rotation speed between the threaded sleeve and the cutter shaft. Under the action of this speed difference, the threaded mating part, which is fixedly connected to the cutter shaft, will undergo relative threaded movement with the threaded sleeve. Ultimately, this drives the cutter shaft to move relative to the mounting platform along its own axis while maintaining rotation, thereby meeting the needs of cutter shaft position adjustment during food processing.

[0048] See Figure 3The transmission gear module 60 includes a transmission gear 610; the transmission gear 610 is connected to the drive motor 70; the transmission gear 610 meshes with a first differential gear 40 and a second differential gear 50 respectively; the first differential gear 40 and the second differential gear 50 have a difference in the number of teeth. Due to the difference in the number of teeth between the first differential gear and the second differential gear, a speed difference is formed when they operate under the synchronous drive of the transmission gear, resulting in different rotational speeds between the threaded sleeve and the cutter shaft. Under the action of this speed difference, the threaded mating part fixedly connected to the cutter shaft and the threaded sleeve undergo relative threaded movement, ultimately driving the cutter shaft to move relative to the mounting platform along its own axis while maintaining rotation, thus meeting the requirements for cutter shaft position adjustment in food processing.

[0049] See Figure 4 The transmission gear module 60 includes two transmission gears 610; the two transmission gears 610 are connected to the drive motor 70; one transmission gear 610 meshes with the first differential gear 40; the other transmission gear 610 meshes with the second differential gear 50; the two transmission gears 610 have a difference in the number of teeth. Because of this difference in the number of teeth, when the two transmission gears drive the first and second differential gears synchronously under the drive of the drive motor, a speed difference is created, resulting in different rotational speeds between the threaded sleeve and the cutter shaft. Under this speed difference, the threaded mating part fixedly connected to the cutter shaft and the threaded sleeve undergo relative threaded movement, ultimately driving the cutter shaft to move relative to the mounting platform along its own axis while maintaining rotation, thus meeting the requirements for cutter shaft position adjustment in food processing.

[0050] In this invention, the diameters of the first differential gear 40 and the second differential gear 50 can be set to different specifications according to different differential requirements.

[0051] In this utility model, when a scheme with two transmission gears 610 is adopted, the two transmission gears 610 can be set to gears with different diameters to meet the speed difference requirements between the first differential gear and the second differential gear.

[0052] See Figure 2 The lower end of the cutter shaft 30 extends below the mounting platform 10; a cutter 320 is connected to the lower end of the cutter shaft 30; the cutter 320 is positioned below the mounting platform 10.

[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting platform 10 is fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve 100, and the threaded sleeve 20 is at least partially disposed within the fixing sleeve 100; the threaded sleeve 20 is rotatably disposed relative to the fixing sleeve 100. The fixing sleeve 100 is installed on the mounting platform 10 using existing installation methods, such as bolt connection or riveting.

[0054] See Figure 5 The second differential gear 50 is provided with an irregularly shaped shaft hole 510, and the cutter shaft 30 is movably inserted into the irregularly shaped shaft hole 510. The irregularly shaped shaft hole 510 is a non-circular hole, and the shape of the cutter shaft 30 matches the irregularly shaped shaft hole 510. The purpose of this design is that after the cutter shaft 30 passes through the irregularly shaped shaft hole 510, both can rotate synchronously, and the cutter shaft 30 can also move relative to the second differential gear 50 along the axial direction.

[0055] See Figure 2 The threaded part 310 is a nut.

[0056] Furthermore, the threaded engagement portion 310 is detachably connected to the end of the cutter shaft 30 away from the cutter 320. The detachable connection can employ existing connection structures.

[0057] In an embodiment where the transmission gear module 60 employs two transmission gears 610, the two transmission gears 610 are an integral structure.

[0058] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The threaded sleeve 20 is hollow inside and has openings at both the top and bottom. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 20 is provided with a threaded structure, which is threadedly connected to the threaded mating part 310.

[0059] In this invention, the drive motor 70 can be fixedly installed on the mounting platform 10 or fixed in other positions of the food processing machine. The drive motor 70 only needs to be relatively fixed to the mounting platform 10.

[0060] In this utility model, the first differential gear 40, the second differential gear, and the transmission gear module 60 can be installed inside the mounting cavity of the mounting platform 10 or on the outside of the mounting platform 10, and the three can be connected for transmission.

[0061] 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. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
