Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a garlic press. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the process of making garlic paste involves placing garlic cloves in a mortar and pestle and manually crushing them to form garlic paste. However, this method of manually crushing garlic results in low efficiency and slow processing speed, making it unsuitable for situations like large hotel kitchens where large quantities of garlic paste are used. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to provide a garlic press to improve the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] A garlic press includes a housing, a mortar and pestle disposed within the housing;

[0006] At least a portion of the mortar and pestle can be inserted into the mortar and pestle, and the mortar and pestle is driven to move up and down in the height direction;

[0007] A gap is formed between the pounding head and the inner wall of the mortar, the shell is provided with a feed inlet for feeding garlic into the gap, and the bottom of the mortar is provided with a discharge outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a support portion located above the tamping head, the top of the tamping head is provided with a drive shaft, and the drive shaft passes through and is rotatably mounted on the support portion; the outer periphery of the drive shaft is provided with a guide groove, and the support portion is provided with a guide post with one end inserted into the guide groove; the end of the guide post can slide in the guide groove due to the rotation of the drive shaft, so as to drive the drive shaft to move the tamping head up and down along the height direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the support is provided with a motor for driving the transmission shaft to rotate, the end of the motor output shaft is formed with a meshing part, and the end of the transmission shaft is provided with a gear that meshes with the meshing part.

[0010] Furthermore, both the inner wall and the tamping head are inverted conical in shape, and the taper of the tamping head is greater than that of the inner wall, so that the width of the gap gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0011] Furthermore, the tamping head includes an inverted conical outer wall and a support frame disposed inside the outer wall, and the drive shaft is connected to the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall and / or the tamping head are provided with a breaking structure protruding into the gap.

[0013] Furthermore, the crushing structure includes a first protruding ridge on the inner wall, the first protruding ridge extending from the top of the inner wall toward the discharge port; and / or, the crushing structure includes a second protruding ridge on the tamping head, the second protruding ridge extending from the top of the tamping head toward the discharge port.

[0014] Furthermore, the first and second protruding ridges are arranged in a spiral shape around the inner wall and the tamping head, respectively; the first and second protruding ridges can push the garlic towards the discharge port due to the rotation of the tamping head.

[0015] Furthermore, a collection bowl is provided below the discharge port.

[0016] Furthermore, the housing has an opening on one side, through which the collecting bowl is inserted into the housing and placed below the discharge port; the collecting bowl has a handle on the side facing the outside of the housing.

[0017] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages:

[0018] (1) The garlic pounder described in this application, by setting a pounding head and a mortar, reduces the gap between the mortar and the pounding head when the pounding head is inserted into the mortar, allowing the garlic to be crushed by the pounding head. When the pounding head moves away from the mortar, the gap between the mortar and the pounding head widens, making it easier to add garlic to the mortar. Thus, by moving the pounding head in the height direction, the garlic can be crushed by the pounding head and processed into garlic paste. At the same time, the feed port on the shell allows garlic to be added to the mortar at any time during the pounding process, and the discharge port allows the processed garlic paste to be discharged in time, avoiding the accumulation of garlic paste in the mortar and affecting subsequent pounding, thereby improving the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0019] (2) The support provides a stable mounting base for the transmission shaft. At the same time, the combination of the guide column and the guide groove allows the rotating transmission shaft to be guided by the guide column to move up and down. Its structure is simple and reliable, and it can enable the transmission shaft to drive the pounding head to move up and down, thereby realizing the pounding process of garlic.

[0020] (3) By setting a motor on the support to drive the transmission shaft to rotate, the transmission shaft can be provided with continuous and stable power, avoiding the intermittent nature of manual driving, ensuring that the pounding head can continuously and efficiently perform up and down pounding actions, and greatly improving the efficiency of pounding garlic.

[0021] (4) By making both the inner wall and the pounding head inverted cone shape, and the taper of the pounding head is greater than that of the inner wall, the gap width gradually decreases from top to bottom. This allows the garlic to be pounded more forcefully as it falls, achieving a progressive process from initial crushing to fine pounding, reducing the number of repeated pounding and improving garlic pounding efficiency. At the same time, this structure can guide the garlic to move towards the bottom of the mortar, and work with the discharge port to speed up the discharge speed, avoiding stagnation in the gap, and further improving the overall garlic pounding efficiency.

[0022] (5) The tamping head is formed by the outer wall and the support structure. While ensuring the structural strength of the tamping head, the weight of the tamping head is reduced, which is conducive to the motor driving the tamping head to move up and down and reduces the load on the motor.

[0023] (6) By setting up the crushing structure, the crushing structure can improve the crushing effect on garlic during the up-and-down movement and rotation of the pounding head, and further improve the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0024] (7) By setting the first and second convex ridges, the convex ridges can scrape and separate the garlic during the up-and-down movement and rotation of the pounding head, further improving the crushing effect of the garlic.

[0025] (8) Through the spiral setting of the convex ridge, during the process of the tamping head moving up and down and rotating, the convex ridge pushes the garlic and garlic paste towards the discharge port, so that the garlic can be crushed by the tamping head during the movement and facilitates the discharge of garlic paste.

[0026] (9) A collection bowl is provided below the discharge port, which can directly receive the minced garlic discharged from the discharge port, making it convenient to use the minced garlic.

[0027] (10) The opening on one side of the shell allows the collecting bowl to be inserted into the shell and placed below the discharge port, providing precise installation and positioning for the collecting bowl and ensuring stable reception of the crushed garlic. At the same time, the handle makes it easy to pull the collecting bowl out of the shell. Attached Figure Description

[0048] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0049] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0050] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a garlic press.

[0051] In related technologies, the garlic needs to be placed in a mortar and pestle and crushed manually to form garlic paste. However, when crushing garlic manually, after a certain amount of garlic paste is produced in the mortar, it needs to be removed from the mortar and garlic added back in for further crushing. This results in low crushing efficiency and slow processing speed.

[0052] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the garlic press in this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the overall design includes a housing 1, a mortar and pestle 2 and a pounding head 3 disposed inside the housing 1.

[0053] At least a portion of the pounding head 3 can be inserted into the mortar 2, and the pounding head 3 is driven to move up and down in the height direction. A gap is formed between the pounding head 3 and the inner wall of the mortar 2, and the housing 1 is provided with a feed inlet 103 for feeding garlic into the gap, and as... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the garlic mortar 2 is provided with a discharge port 201.

[0054] Therefore, by setting up the pounding head 3 and the mortar 2, when the pounding head 3 is inserted into the mortar 2, the gap between the mortar 2 and the pounding head 3 decreases, allowing the garlic to be crushed by the pounding head 3. When the pounding head 3 moves away from the mortar 2, the gap between the mortar 2 and the pounding head 3 widens, making it easier to add garlic to the mortar 2. Thus, through the movement of the pounding head 3 in the height direction, the garlic can be crushed by the pounding head 3 and processed into garlic paste. At the same time, the setting of the feed port 103 on the shell 1 allows garlic to be added to the mortar 2 at any time during the crushing process, and the setting of the discharge port 201 allows the processed garlic paste to be discharged in time, avoiding the accumulation of garlic paste in the mortar 2 and affecting subsequent crushing, thereby improving the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0055] Based on the above general description, specifically, in some exemplary embodiments, the housing 1 has a support portion 5 located above the tamping head 3. The top of the tamping head 3 has a drive shaft 4, which passes through and rotatably mounts on the support portion 5. A guide groove 401 is provided on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 4, and a guide post 501 with one end inserted into the guide groove 401 is provided on the support portion 5. The end of the guide post 501 can slide in the guide groove 401 due to the rotation of the drive shaft 4, thereby driving the drive shaft 4 to move the tamping head 3 up and down in the height direction.

[0056] The support part 5 provides a stable mounting base for the drive shaft 4. At the same time, the cooperation between the guide column 501 and the guide groove 401 allows the rotating transmission shaft to be guided by the guide column 501 to move up and down. Its structure is simple and reliable, enabling the drive shaft 4 to drive the pounding head 3 to move up and down, thereby realizing the pounding process of garlic.

[0057] In practical implementation, the housing 1 of this embodiment is divided into upper and lower parts, which can be connected by conventional connection methods such as screws. The upper part 101 is provided with a support part 5, and the lower part 102 is provided with a mortar and pestle 2. The detachable connection of the upper and lower parts 102 facilitates the cleaning of the mortar and pestle 2 and the pounding head 3.

[0058] In addition, the support part 5 is fitted onto the drive shaft 4 and has a rotating seat. The rotating seat has a mounting hole that extends radially. The guide post 501 is screwed into the mounting hole, so that the end of the guide post 501 is inserted into the guide groove 401.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the support 5 is provided with a motor 6 for driving the drive shaft 4 to rotate, the end of the output shaft 601 of the motor 6 is formed with a meshing part 602, and the end of the drive shaft 4 is provided with a gear 402 that meshes with the meshing part 602.

[0060] By installing a motor 6 on the support part 5 to drive the transmission shaft 4 to rotate, a continuous and stable power can be provided to the transmission shaft 4, avoiding the intermittent nature of manual driving, ensuring that the pounding head 3 can continuously and efficiently perform up and down pounding actions, and greatly improving the efficiency of pounding garlic.

[0061] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned meshing part 602 is arranged on the output shaft 601 so that the output shaft 601 constitutes a gear 402 structure for meshing with the end gear 402 of the transmission shaft 4. At the same time, the meshing part 602 extends along the height direction, so that when the transmission shaft 4 moves up and down, the meshing part 602 and the gear 402 on the transmission shaft 4 can always be meshed, ensuring the stability of power transmission between the motor 6 and the transmission shaft 4.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, both the inner wall and the tamping head 3 are inverted cones, and the taper of the tamping head 3 is greater than that of the inner wall, so that the width of the gap gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0063] By using an inverted conical shape for both the inner wall and the pounding head 3, with the taper of the pounding head 3 being greater than that of the inner wall, the gap width gradually decreases from top to bottom. This allows the garlic to gradually increase the pounding force as it falls, achieving a progressive processing from initial crushing to fine pounding, reducing the number of repeated pounding operations and improving garlic pounding efficiency. At the same time, this structure guides the garlic to move towards the bottom of the mortar 2, which, together with the discharge port 201, speeds up the discharge and prevents it from lingering in the gap, further improving the overall garlic pounding efficiency.

[0064] In some of the exemplary implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the tamping head 3 includes an inverted conical outer wall 301 and a support frame 302 disposed inside the outer wall 301. The drive shaft 4 is connected to the support frame 302. The tamping head 3 is formed by the outer wall 301 and the support frame 302. While ensuring the structural strength of the tamping head 3, the weight of the tamping head 3 is reduced, which is beneficial for the motor 6 to drive the tamping head 3 to move up and down and reduces the load on the motor 6.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, a crushing structure protruding into the gap is provided on either the inner wall or the tamping head 3. By providing this crushing structure, the crushing effect on the garlic is improved during the up-and-down movement and rotation of the tamping head 3, further increasing the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0066] Specifically, in some exemplary embodiments, the crushing structure includes a first protruding ridge 7 on the inner wall, extending from the top of the inner wall toward the discharge port 201. Simultaneously, the crushing structure includes a second protruding ridge 8 on the tamping head 3, extending from the top of the tamping head 3 toward the discharge port 201.

[0067] With the first and second protruding ridges 8 in place, the ridges can scrape and separate the garlic as the pounding head 3 moves up and down and rotates, further improving the crushing effect of the garlic.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, the first protruding ridge 7 and the second protruding ridge 8 are arranged in a spiral shape, respectively surrounding the inner wall and the tamping head 3. The first protruding ridge 7 and the second protruding ridge 8 can push the garlic towards the discharge port 201 due to the rotation of the tamping head 3.

[0069] With the spiral arrangement of the convex ridges, as the tamping head 3 moves up and down and rotates, the convex ridges push the garlic and garlic paste towards the discharge port 201, so that the garlic can be crushed by the tamping head 3 during the movement, and the discharge of garlic paste can be accelerated.

[0070] In practical implementation, from a top-down perspective, the pounding head 3 rotates clockwise, while the second protruding ridge 8 rotates downwards counterclockwise. This allows the second protruding ridge 8 to push the garlic paste and garlic cloves downwards as the pounding head 3 rotates. Simultaneously, as the pounding head 3 rotates, the second protruding ridge 8 drives the garlic and garlic paste to move clockwise within the mortar 2. At this time, the first protruding ridge 7 rotates downwards clockwise to further push the garlic and garlic paste towards the discharge port 201.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, a collection bowl 9 is provided below the discharge port 201. The collection bowl 9 below the discharge port 201 can directly receive the minced garlic discharged from the discharge port 201, making it convenient to use the minced garlic.

[0072] Specifically, in some exemplary embodiments, the housing 1 has an opening on one side, through which the collecting bowl 9 is inserted into the housing 1 and positioned below the discharge port 201. The collecting bowl 9 has a handle 901 on the side facing the outside of the housing 1.

[0073] The opening on one side of the housing 1 allows the collecting bowl 9 to be inserted into the housing 1 and positioned below the discharge port 201, providing precise installation and positioning for the collecting bowl 9 and ensuring stable reception of the crushed garlic. The handle 901 facilitates the removal of the collecting bowl 9 from the housing 1.

[0074] In practice, the handle 901 is constructed as a groove structure, allowing the operator to insert their hand into the groove structure and pull the collection bowl 9 out of the housing 1.

[0075] The garlic press in this embodiment adopts the above design. By setting a pressing head 3 and a mortar 2, when the pressing head 3 is inserted into the mortar 2, the gap between the mortar 2 and the pressing head 3 decreases, allowing the garlic to be crushed by the pressing head 3. When the pressing head 3 moves away from the mortar 2, the gap between the mortar 2 and the pressing head 3 increases, making it easier to add garlic to the mortar 2. Thus, by moving the pressing head 3 in the height direction, the garlic can be crushed by the pressing head 3 and processed into garlic paste. At the same time, the feed port 103 on the shell 1 allows garlic to be added to the mortar 2 at any time during the pressing process, and the discharge port 201 allows the processed garlic paste to be discharged in time, avoiding the accumulation of garlic paste in the mortar 2 and affecting subsequent pressing, thereby improving the processing speed of garlic paste.

[0076] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The technical features or structures in the foregoing different embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other specific technical solutions as needed. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
