Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a food crushing device. Background Technology

[0002] Food crushing devices, such as meat grinders, are mechanical equipment used to cut, grind, grind, or mix food. They are widely used in home kitchens, food processing plants, and the catering industry.

[0003] In related technologies, food crushing devices include a head assembly and a bowl lid. During the use of the food crushing device, the head assembly rotates at high speed, and the resulting vibration is transmitted to the bowl lid. Due to the certain fitting gap between the head assembly and the bowl lid, relative displacement can easily occur between the head assembly and the bowl lid, causing collisions and friction, resulting in harsh noise. It may also reduce the overall stability of the equipment and increase the risk of the bowl lid breaking. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a food crushing device to solve the problem that food crushing devices in the related art are prone to generating harsh noise during use, and may even reduce the overall stability of the food crushing device.

[0005] This utility model provides a food crushing device, comprising:

[0006] Head assembly;

[0007] The bowl lid can be connected to the machine head assembly, which has a mounting slot.

[0008] An elastic damping element is disposed in the mounting groove and sandwiched between the machine head assembly and the cup cover, with at least a portion of the outer periphery of the elastic damping element abutting against the groove wall of the mounting groove;

[0009] The winch assembly can pass through the bowl cover and the elastic damper, and rotates under the action of the head assembly.

[0010] Beneficial effects: With this configuration, during the operation of the food crushing device of this application embodiment, the rotating source in the head assembly rotates and drives the agitator assembly to rotate, thereby crushing and mixing the food.

[0011] Vibration can be transmitted to the head assembly first, then to the outer periphery of the elastic damping component, and then to the elastic damping component. The elastic damping component can effectively absorb vibration energy through its own elasticity, thereby reducing noise output. At the same time, the vibration generated by the cup lid during operation will also be transmitted to the elastic damping component, further absorbing and reducing vibration, and reducing the risk of cup lid breakage caused by vibration.

[0012] Therefore, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment can solve the problem that food crushing devices in the related art are prone to generating harsh noise during use, and may even reduce the overall stability of the equipment. It can also ensure the stability of the machine movement through the dynamic balance support of the elastic damping component and the head assembly. In addition, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment is easy to assemble and has low cost.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, an abutting rib is provided on one of the outer periphery of the elastic damper and the groove wall of the mounting groove, and an abutting groove is provided on the other of the outer periphery of the elastic damper and the groove wall of the mounting groove. The abutting rib is confined within the abutting groove and is interference-fitted with the abutting groove.

[0014] Beneficial effect: With this configuration, the abutting rib can be interference-fitted with the abutting groove, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the elastic damping component and the machine head assembly.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the abutting ribs are provided on the elastic damping member and are spaced apart along the circumference of the elastic damping member.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This configuration can improve the structural symmetry and stability of the elastic damper.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, at least two abutting ribs are provided at the same circumferential position of the elastic damper, and the abutting ribs at the same circumferential position of the elastic damper are spaced apart along the axial direction of the elastic damper.

[0018] Beneficial effect: This configuration ensures the fit strength between the elastic damping component and the head assembly.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, an abutting protrusion is provided between the elastic damper and the bowl lid.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The abutting protrusion can contact the elastic damping element, thereby achieving the effects of vibration reduction and stable support.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the bowl lid is provided with a first pivot hole through which the pivot of the winch assembly can pass, and the bowl lid is provided with an odd number of abutment protrusions evenly distributed around the first pivot hole.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the abutting protrusion is a protrusion with a rounded surface.

[0023] Beneficial effects: With this configuration, the protrusions can make point contact with the elastic damping components, thereby achieving the effects of vibration reduction and stable support. Setting the protrusions to have a rounded contact surface can reduce local pressure, thereby reducing the wear of the elastic damping components.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, the head assembly is provided with a limiting groove, which is connected to the mounting groove, and the outer periphery of the elastic damping member is provided with a limiting protrusion, which is limited within the limiting groove.

[0025] In one alternative embodiment, a second pivot hole is formed on the elastic damper, the second pivot hole allowing the shaft of the winch assembly to pass through, and the second pivot hole and the shaft of the winch assembly are in clearance fit.

[0026] Beneficial effects: This design avoids contact between the elastic damping component and the winch assembly, thereby ensuring that the winch assembly can rotate smoothly within the second shaft hole, while also preventing friction and jamming caused by interference fit.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, a machine head groove is formed on the bowl lid, a machine head assembly is disposed in the machine head groove, and an anti-rotation surface is formed between the machine head assembly and the machine head groove.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The anti-rotation surface can limit the movement of the machine head assembly, thereby preventing relative displacement between the machine head assembly and the cup cover, and thus avoiding collisions and friction caused by relative displacement.

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0052] The following is combined Figures 1 to 13 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a food crushing device is provided, including a head assembly 1, a bowl cover 2, an elastic damping component 3, and a winch assembly 4.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bowl cover 2 can be connected to the head assembly 1, which has a mounting groove 101. An elastic damping element 3 is disposed within the mounting groove 101 and sandwiched between the head assembly 1 and the bowl cover 2. At least a portion of the outer periphery of the elastic damping element 3 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 101. The winch assembly 4 can pass through the bowl cover 2 and the elastic damping element 3 and rotate under the action of the head assembly 1.

[0055] With this configuration, during the operation of the food crushing device of this embodiment, the rotation source 104 inside the head assembly 1 rotates and drives the agitator assembly 4 to rotate, thereby crushing and mixing the food.

[0056] Vibration can be transmitted to the head assembly 1 first, and then to the outer periphery of the elastic damping component 3. The elastic damping component 3 can effectively absorb vibration energy through its own elasticity, thereby reducing noise output. At the same time, the vibration generated by the cup lid 2 during operation will also be transmitted to the elastic damping component 3, further absorbing and reducing vibration, and reducing the risk of cup lid 2 breakage caused by vibration.

[0057] Therefore, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment can solve the problem that food crushing devices in the related art are prone to generating harsh noise during use, and may even reduce the overall stability of the equipment. Moreover, the stability of the machine movement can be ensured by the dynamic balance support of the elastic damping component 3 and the head assembly 1. In addition, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment is easy to assemble and has low cost.

[0058] In this embodiment, the elastic damping element 3 is preferably, but not limited to, made of soft materials such as silicone, rubber, TPU, and PU.

[0059] In one embodiment, the bowl lid 2 is made of glass. As an alternative implementation, the bowl lid 2 may also be made of materials such as ceramic, stainless steel, or plastic.

[0060] It should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

[0061] In one embodiment, an abutting rib 301 is provided on one of the outer periphery of the elastic damper 3 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 101, and an abutting groove 102 is provided on the other of the outer periphery of the elastic damper 3 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 101. The abutting rib 301 is confined within the abutting groove 102 and is interference-fitted with the abutting groove 102.

[0062] With this configuration, the abutting rib 301 can be interference-fitted with the abutting groove 102, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the elastic damping component 3 and the head assembly 1.

[0063] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the fit strength between the abutting rib 301 and the abutting groove 102, the dimension of the abutting rib 301 in the circumferential direction of the elastic damping member 3 is set to be greater than or equal to 5 cm.

[0064] In one embodiment, the abutting rib 301 is provided on the elastic damping member 3 and is spaced apart along the circumference of the elastic damping member 3.

[0065] This configuration improves the symmetry and stability of the elastic damper 3 structure.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the elastic damper 3 is provided with four sets of abutting ribs 301 spaced apart in the circumferential direction. With this arrangement, the fit strength between the elastic damper 3 and the abutting groove 102 can be guaranteed without increasing the manufacturing difficulty of the elastic damper 3.

[0067] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the elastic damper 3 may also be provided with three, five, or six sets of abutment ribs 301 in the circumferential direction.

[0068] In one embodiment, the abutment rib 301 is inclined downward along the axis away from the winch assembly 4. With this arrangement, during the process of placing the elastic damper 3 into the mounting groove 101, the abutment rib 301 can be inclined downward so that the abutment rib 301 can enter the abutment groove 102. Until the abutment rib 301 is installed in place, the abutment rib 301 can restore its original shape through its own elastic restoring force, and then abut against the groove wall of the abutment groove 102 to ensure the reliability of the fit between the elastic damper 3 and the main structure.

[0069] As a possible implementation, in one embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutment rib 301 extends in a horizontal direction.

[0070] As an alternative implementation, in another embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutting rib 301 is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove 101, and the abutting groove 102 is provided on the elastic damping member 3.

[0071] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, at least two abutting ribs 301 are provided at the same circumferential position of the elastic damper 3, and the abutting ribs 301 at the same circumferential position of the elastic damper 3 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the elastic damper 3.

[0072] This configuration ensures the fit strength between the elastic damping component 3 and the head assembly 1.

[0073] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, only one abutting rib 301 is provided at the same circumferential position of the elastic damper 3, and the fit strength between the elastic damper 3 and the head assembly 1 is improved by increasing the thickness and width of the abutting rib 301, but this will increase the resistance that needs to be overcome to a certain extent when the abutting rib 301 enters the abutting groove 102.

[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the mounting groove 101 is provided on the head assembly 1, and the elastic damping member 3 and the cup cover 2 are provided with an abutting protrusion 201.

[0075] The abutting protrusion 201 can contact the elastic damping member 3, thereby achieving the effects of vibration reduction and stable support.

[0076] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the contact between the elastic damper 3 and the bowl cover 2 is a surface contact.

[0077] In one embodiment, the bowl cover 2 is provided with a first pivot hole 202, which allows the pivot of the winch assembly 4 to pass through. The bowl cover 2 is provided with an odd number of abutment protrusions 201, which are evenly distributed around the first pivot hole 202.

[0078] When there is an odd number of abutting protrusions 201, the periodic vibration frequency can be broken through asymmetrical support to avoid resonance. With this arrangement, multiple abutting protrusions 201 can ensure the dynamic stability of the support during rotation.

[0079] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0080] For example, in such Figure 12 As shown, the number of abutting protrusions 201 can be selected as three.

[0081] As a possible implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the number of abutting protrusions 201 may also be selected as 5, 7 or 9, etc.

[0082] As an alternative implementation, in another embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutting protrusion 201 is provided on the elastic damping member 3 and can be interference-fitted with the bowl lid 2.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first pivot hole 202 is preferably configured to have a clearance fit with the winch assembly 4, which can prevent the bowl cover 2 from contacting the winch assembly 4, thereby ensuring that the winch assembly 4 can rotate smoothly in the first pivot hole 202, while avoiding friction and jamming caused by interference fit.

[0084] In one embodiment, the abutting protrusion 201 is a protrusion with an arc-shaped surface.

[0085] With this configuration, the protrusion can make point contact with the elastic damper 3, thereby achieving the effects of vibration reduction and stable support. Setting the protrusion to have a circular arc contact surface can reduce local pressure, thereby reducing the wear of the elastic damper 3.

[0086] As an alternative implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the accompanying drawings, the abutting protrusion 201 may also be a square protrusion, a tapered protrusion, or an irregularly shaped protrusion, etc.

[0087] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the head assembly 1 is provided with a limiting groove 103, which is connected to the mounting groove 101. The outer periphery of the elastic damping member 3 is provided with a limiting protrusion 302, which is limited within the limiting groove 103.

[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second pivot hole 303 is formed on the elastic damping member 3. The second pivot hole 303 allows the pivot of the winch assembly 4 to pass through, and the second pivot hole 303 is clearance-fitted with the pivot of the winch assembly 4.

[0089] This arrangement prevents the elastic damping element 3 from contacting the winch assembly 4, thereby ensuring that the winch assembly 4 can rotate smoothly within the second shaft hole 303, while avoiding friction and jamming caused by interference fit.

[0090] In one embodiment, a machine head groove 203 is formed on the bowl cover 2, and a machine head assembly 1 is disposed in the machine head groove 203. An anti-rotation surface 5 is formed between the machine head assembly 1 and the machine head groove 203.

[0091] The anti-rotation surface 5 can limit the movement of the machine head assembly 1, thereby preventing the machine head assembly 1 from moving relative to the bowl cover, and thus avoiding collisions and friction caused by the relative displacement.

[0092] In one embodiment, the head assembly 1 is provided with a rotation source 104, and the power output end of the rotation source 104 can act on the agitator 4, thereby driving the agitator to rotate and crush and stir the food.

[0093] The rotation source 104 can be selected as a device capable of outputting rotation, such as an electric motor, an engine, a hydraulic motor, or a combination of one of them and a speed reducer.

[0094] In one embodiment, the head assembly 1 is also connected to a power cord 7.

[0095] The power cord 7 is used to connect to a power source and power the food crushing device. In an optional embodiment, the user can activate the rotation source 104 by pressing the switch module, thereby driving the agitator to rotate.

[0096] In one embodiment, the food crushing device further includes a bowl 6, a bowl lid 2 that can be placed on the bowl 6, and a winch assembly 4 that can extend into the bowl 6 to crush and agitate the food contained in the bowl 6.

[0097] In one embodiment, the food crushing device is a meat grinder, and the grinding assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft and a cutting blade connected to the rotating shaft.

[0098] The cutting edge of the reamer is preferably, but not limited to, a smooth edge or a serrated edge.

[0099] As an alternative implementation, in other embodiments not shown, the winch assembly 4 may also be selected to include a rotating shaft and a stirring paddle connected to the rotating shaft.

[0100] Although in such Figure 1 and Figure 13In the illustrated embodiment, the food crushing device is a meat grinder, but the food crushing device in this application embodiment is not limited to this. In embodiments not shown in the drawings, the food crushing device may also be a juicer, a soy milk maker, or a food processor, etc.

[0101] In summary, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment can solve the problem that food crushing devices in related technologies are prone to generating harsh noise during use, and may even reduce the overall stability of the equipment. Moreover, the dynamic balance support between the elastic damping component 3 and the head assembly 1 ensures the stability of the machine movement. In addition, the food crushing device of this utility model embodiment is easy to assemble and has low cost.

[0102] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
