Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical appliances, specifically to a food processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing food processing devices with mixing and crushing functions have relatively simple models.

[0003] For example, baby food makers are mainly used for preparing complementary foods for babies aged 6-18 months. Their product lifespan is short, and their utilization rate is low after that period, taking up valuable storage space. High-speed blenders are commonly used machines for chopping and blending food. However, their extremely high speed makes them generally unsuitable for directly adding baby food blades to prepare baby food, as this could be dangerous.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0008] A further technical solution is that a second set of blades is installed on the second stirring device; a first set of blades is installed on the first stirring device; and the rotational speed of the second set of blades is less than the rotational speed of the first set of blades.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the second stirring device includes a planetary reduction gear set; the planetary reduction gear set includes a drive shaft fixed to the connecting sleeve, a driving wheel mounted on the drive shaft, and a driven wheel meshing with the driving wheel; a gear frame that rotates with the driven wheel is fixed on the driven wheel; the output shaft of the gear frame drives the second blade assembly to rotate.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the food processing device further includes a cover; the cover covers the opening of the first container, or simultaneously covers the opening of the first container and the opening of the second container.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a magnetic induction switch is installed on the first container; a magnetic induction element is installed on the lid; when the lid is closed, the magnetic induction element approaches the magnetic induction switch and turns on the magnetic induction switch, so that the food processing device enters the standby state.

[0012] A further technical solution is to install a micro-pressure valve at the vent of the cover.

[0013] A further technical solution is that a positioning end is provided at the upper end of the second stirring device; and a positioning sleeve matching the positioning end is provided inside the cover body.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the second processing device further includes a handle; the handle is installed on the outer side wall of the second container; there is a gap between the inner side wall of the handle and the outer side wall of the second container; when the lid is simultaneously closed on the opening of the first container and the opening of the second container, the interior of the first container communicates with the interior of the second container through the gap and the internal space of the lid.

[0015] A further technical solution is that a plurality of blocking strips are provided on the inner side wall of the handle; there is a gap between two adjacent blocking strips, and a blocking ring is provided on the side wall of the second container for overlapping the blocking strips.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:

[0018] This embodiment features a first processing device that can be used independently, and a second processing device that can be driven by the first processing device. By adjusting the rotational speeds of the first and second stirring devices respectively, the first and second blade groups can have different stirring speeds, thereby achieving more working modes and giving users more choices.

[0019] Specifically, the rotation speed of the second blade group can be set to be less than that of the first blade group, so that the first processing device can be used as a blender and the second processing device can be used as a baby food processor, thereby improving the utilization rate of the machine.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, the internal space of the first container is connected to the interior of the second container through a gap and an opening in the second container. When the liquid in the first container is heated, this passage can become a steam channel, allowing the second container to also perform food heating.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the device proposed by this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer according to the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, only used to conveniently and clearly assist in illustrating the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model. Please refer to the accompanying drawings to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a food processing device, including a first processing device 1 and a second processing device 2. Both the first processing device 1 and the second processing device 2 have the function of stirring and / or chopping food.

[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first processing device used alone in an embodiment of this utility model. The first processing device 1 includes a first container 102 and a first stirring device 103 disposed at the bottom of the first container 102. The first stirring device 103 includes a first blade assembly 104 that can be rotated by a motor. A connecting end 101 is installed on the upper end of the rotating shaft of the first stirring device 103.

[0032] The second processing device 2 includes a second container 202 and a second stirring device 203 disposed in the second container 202. The second container 202 is detachably placed in the first container 102. The second stirring device 203 includes a transmission structure and a second blade assembly 211 that can be rotated by the transmission structure. A connecting sleeve 201 is installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft of the second stirring device 203.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, when the second container 202 is removed, the first processing device 1 can be used independently. The first container 102 is detachably mounted on the body 4. The motor is mounted inside the body 4.

[0034] The connecting sleeve 201 can be fitted onto the connecting end 101 and can rotate with the connecting end 101. When the motor starts, the motor drives the first stirring device 103 to operate, the connecting end 101 rotates accordingly, and the connecting sleeve 201 that matches the connecting end 101 also rotates at the same time, driving the second stirring device 203 to rotate.

[0035] This embodiment features a first processing device 1 that can be used independently, and a second processing device 2 that can be driven by the first processing device 1. Therefore, the user can choose to use the larger second container 202 to process food, or they can choose to use the first container 102. This embodiment allows for different mixing speeds of the first blade assembly 104 and the second blade assembly 211 by adjusting the rotation speeds of the first stirring device 103 and the second stirring device 203 respectively, thus enabling more working modes and providing the user with more choices. Furthermore, since this embodiment has two independent containers, different food heating modes can be set for the first container 102 and the second container 202 to process different ingredients as needed.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotational speed of the second tool group 211 is less than that of the first tool group 104, which can be achieved by designing the transmission structure as a reduction gear set.

[0037] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A large schematic diagram of section A. (See attached image.) Figure 3 As shown, the second stirring device 203 includes a planetary reduction gear set. The planetary reduction gear set includes a drive shaft 2032 fixed to the connecting sleeve 201, a driving gear 2035 mounted on the drive shaft 2032, and a driven gear 2034 meshing with the driving gear 2035. A gear carrier 2036 that rotates with the driven gear 2034 is fixed on the driven gear 2034, and the output shaft of the gear carrier 2036 drives the second blade assembly 211 to rotate.

[0038] When the first stirring device 103 rotates, it drives the second stirring device 203 to rotate via the connecting end 101 and the connecting sleeve 201 that matches the connecting end 101, thus serving as the power source for the second stirring device 203. The drive shaft 2032 is fixed to the connecting sleeve 201, rotates with the connecting sleeve 201, and drives the drive wheel 2035 to rotate. The drive wheel 2035 is located at the center of the planetary reduction gear set. The driven wheel 2034 meshes with the drive wheel 2035. Driven by the drive wheel 2035, the driven wheel 2034 both rotates around its own axis and revolves around the drive wheel 2035. Multiple driven wheels 2034 are evenly distributed around the drive wheel 2035, sharing the load and resulting in smoother transmission and higher load-bearing capacity. An internal gear ring 2031, meshing with the driven wheel 2034, is also installed around the driven wheel 2034. The internal gear ring 2031 is fixed. During the revolution of the driven wheel 2034, the meshing point between the driven wheel 2034 and the internal gear ring 2031 changes continuously. This relative motion causes the rotational speed of the driven wheel 2034 to be lower than that of the driving wheel 2035, thereby achieving deceleration. The gear carrier 2036 is fixed on the multiple driven wheels 2034 and rotates with the revolution of the driven wheels 2034, transmitting the rotational motion of the driven wheels 2034 to the output shaft of the gear carrier 2036 to achieve decelerated rotation of the second tool set 211.

[0039] In a practical embodiment, the first processing device 1 can be a high-speed blender, and the second processing device 2 can be a baby food processor. Generally, baby food processors have a relatively low blending speed because infant food needs a fine and even texture, but it doesn't need to be ground as finely as a high-speed blender. The lower blending speed also helps avoid over-blending, which can cause the food to heat up, lose nutrients, or produce excessive foam. High-speed blenders, on the other hand, are characterized by high rotation speeds, capable of breaking down the cell walls of food, and are generally used to make soy milk, juice, thick soups, or smoothies. However, using a high-speed blender alone also has significant drawbacks. Generally, high-speed blenders can only boil, not steam, and the high rotation speed makes it dangerous to directly add a baby food blade.

[0040] This utility model embodiment allows one machine to perform two food processing methods. In a typical household, the use of a baby food processor is phased. When the child is an infant, the baby food processor can be used to process food, without affecting the need for a high-speed blender. When the child grows up, the baby food processor is no longer needed, but the high-speed blender can still be used, improving the utilization rate of the machine and saving storage space and operating costs.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the food processing device includes a lid 3. The lid 3 can cover the opening of the first container 102, or simultaneously cover the openings of the first container 102 and the second container 202. It is suitable for scenarios where the first container 102 is used alone to process food, and for scenarios where the second container 202 is installed inside the first container 102. Preferably, a positioning end 209 is provided at the upper end of the second stirring device 203. A positioning sleeve 301 matching the positioning end 209 is provided on the inner side of the lid 3. This ensures correct positioning of the lid 3 during food heat treatment and also increases the rotational stability of the second stirring device 203 during operation.

[0042] Furthermore, the first processing device 1 includes a heating device, such as a heating plate, disposed at the bottom of the first container 102, which can directly heat the food being processed in the first container 102. The position at the bottom of the first container 102 for mounting the rotating shaft of the second stirring device 203 is sealed with the heating device to prevent leakage.

[0043] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second processing device in an embodiment of this utility model. (See diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown, the second processing device 2 also includes a handle 204. The handle 204 is installed on the outer side wall of the second container 202. A gap 205 is formed between the inner side wall of the handle 204 and the outer side wall of the second container 202. The gap 205 communicates between the interior of the first container 102 and the upper space of the second container 202.

[0044] When the lid 3 covers the upper parts of the first container 102 and the second container 202, and the handle 204 and the first container 102 are sealed, the internal space of the first container 102 communicates with the interior of the second container 202 through the gap 205 and the opening of the second container 202. When the liquid in the first container 102 is heated, this passage can become a steam channel, allowing the second container 202 to also have the function of heating food.

[0045] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the handle structure in an embodiment of this utility model. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of blocking strips 207 are provided on the inner sidewall of the handle 204. There is a gap between two adjacent blocking strips 207, and a blocking ring 208 is provided on the outer sidewall of the second container 202 for overlapping the blocking strips 207. The gap 205 is formed between the edge of the blocking ring 208 and the inner sidewall of the handle 204 located at the gap. Figure 5 A preferred implementation of the gap 205 is shown, but it can also be implemented in other reasonable ways. For example, an annular connecting structure can be provided between the handle 204 and the outer side wall of the second container 202, and multiple through holes can be opened on the connecting structure.

[0046] The second container 202 is installed in the first container 102. When the first processing device 1 heats the liquid in the first container 102, it will generate steam and rise through the gap 205 into the inside of the cover 3, and then descend through the opening of the second container 202 into the inside of the second container 202 to heat the food in the second container 202. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of gas flow in an embodiment of this utility model. The direction of steam flow during heating can be referenced... Figure 6 The arrow points in the diagram. Furthermore, a sealing ring 206 is installed between the outer wall of the handle 204 and the inner wall of the first container 102 to prevent steam from escaping from the gap between the second container 202 and the first container 102 and then dissipating into the air through the pouring port of the first container 102.

[0047] If the first processing device 1 is used alone, the food in the first container 102 can be processed by high-speed stirring and / or cooking. After the second processing device 2 is installed, the food in the second container 202 can be processed by low-speed stirring and / or steaming, which increases the flexibility of use and improves the utilization rate of the appliance.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a micro-pressure valve 303 is installed at the air outlet position on the cover 3. When the internal pressure of the second container 202 reaches a certain value, the micro-pressure valve 303 opens and the steam is discharged.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a magnetic induction switch 210 is installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the first container 102. In this embodiment, the magnetic induction switch 210 is installed on the upper end of the handle of the first container 102. A magnetic induction element 302, such as a magnet, is installed on the side wall of the lid 3. When the lid 3 is closed at the opening of the first container 102, the magnetic induction element 302 approaches the magnetic induction switch 210 and turns on the magnetic induction switch 210, putting the food processing device into a standby state. Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic induction element 302 is positioned directly above the magnetic induction switch 210. This arrangement increases safety during use; that is, the switch circuit is only activated when the cover 3 is properly closed. Only when the switch is turned on can the first stirring device 103 rotate and stir. If the cover 3 is not properly closed, the first stirring device 103 will not operate even if the switch is accidentally turned on.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
