Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Common pet food processors, such as the one disclosed in CN222263958U, only have the function of grinding food. The ground food needs to be manually shaped and sized by the user for subsequent cooking. The food processing process is complicated and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food processing device for a food processor that saves time and effort in food processing.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows.

[0005] A food processing device for a food processor includes an extrusion device, a cutting device, and a rotating receiving device disposed within the machine body. The extrusion device includes a cavity for containing food, a pushing assembly, and a first driving device. The rear ends of the first driving device and the pushing assembly are detachably connected. The front end of the cavity is provided with a discharge hole. The first driving device is used to drive the pushing assembly to extrude the food from the cavity through the discharge hole. The cutting device includes a second driving device and a blade assembly. The second driving device drives the blade assembly to move relative to the discharge hole, causing the blade assembly to cut the food extruded from the discharge hole. The rotating receiving device includes a third driving device and a receiving plate. The receiving plate is located below the discharge hole. The third driving device drives the receiving plate to rotate, so that the food falls evenly into the receiving plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the cavity includes a cavity cover and a cavity body. The front end of the cavity body has a discharge port. The cavity cover and the front end of the cavity body are screwed together to seal the discharge port. The cavity cover has the aforementioned discharge hole. The rear end of the cavity body has a clearance hole with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cavity body. The pushing assembly includes a piston rod and a sealing plug. The piston rod is located inside the cavity body, and its rear end extends out of the clearance hole. The sealing plug is fitted onto the front end of the piston rod and moves with the piston rod, sliding in contact with the inner wall of the cavity body. The detachable connection between the cavity cover and the cavity body facilitates the placement of food into the cavity and provides good sealing, which is beneficial for the pushing assembly to push the food out of the discharge hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the end face of the cavity cover is provided with a row of discharge holes. Food is discharged evenly and at a relatively fast speed.

[0008] Furthermore, the first driving device includes a first linear stepper motor, a first nut, a guide member, and a push rod. The first screw of the first linear stepper motor is arranged parallel to the piston rod of the pusher assembly. The first nut is fixed to one end of the push rod, and the first nut and the first screw are threaded together. The other end of the push rod is detachably connected to the rear end of the piston rod. The guide member is located inside the machine body, and the first screw is located inside the guide member. The guide member has a guide hole along the length of the first screw. The rotation of the first screw of the first linear stepper motor drives the first nut to move, and the push rod moves back and forth within the guide hole as the first nut moves. The push rod drives the piston rod to move forward or back and forth. The first driving device has a simple structure and stable and reliable operation. The parallel arrangement of the first driving device and the pusher assembly reduces the required installation length and saves installation space. The detachable connection between the pusher assembly and the first driving device facilitates the removal of the pusher assembly for cleaning. The push rod and the guide hole limit the movement to prevent the nut from rotating.

[0009] Furthermore, the push rod has a first magnetic attraction part at the end facing the piston rod, and a second magnetic attraction part at the rear end of the piston rod. The first and second magnetic attraction parts are aligned and magnetically connected. The detachable connection structure of the push rod and piston rod is easy to implement and convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the push rod has a connecting part at the end facing the piston rod, and a movable groove at the rear end of the piston rod. The push rod moves forward to keep the connecting part inserted into the movable groove. The push rod steadily pushes the piston rod forward.

[0011] Furthermore, the piston rod has a notch radially connected to the movable groove at its rear end, and the connecting part is radially aligned with the movable groove, inserting into the movable groove through the notch. This facilitates the easy installation and connection of the piston rod and push rod, helps maintain the extended length of the piston rod, and increases the food volume of the cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting part is provided with a first magnetic attraction part, and the bottom of the movable groove is provided with a second magnetic attraction part. When the connecting part is inserted into the movable groove through the notch, the first and second magnetic attraction parts are misaligned. The piston rod rotates synchronously, causing the movable groove to rotate circumferentially relative to the connecting part by a preset angle. The connecting part and the notch are misaligned, and the first and second magnetic attraction parts are aligned and magnetically connected. The piston rod and push rod are stable and relatively limited in both axial and radial directions, making disassembly and assembly easy.

[0013] Furthermore, the second drive device is a second linear stepper motor, and the tool assembly includes a fixed frame, a connecting frame, and a blade. The fixed frame is threadedly connected to the second screw of the second linear stepper motor via a second nut and the second screw of the second linear stepper motor. The fixed frame and the connecting frame are detachably connected in the horizontal direction. The blade is mounted on the connecting frame. The rotation of the second screw drives the second nut and the fixed frame to move up and down. The connecting frame and the blade move up and down relative to the discharge hole as the fixed frame moves up and down. The design of the fixed frame and the connecting frame allows for easy removal of the connecting frame and the blade for cleaning.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing bracket and the connecting bracket are horizontally inserted together. The fixing bracket has a third magnetic attraction part on the side facing the connecting bracket, and the connecting bracket has a fourth magnetic attraction part on the side facing the fixing bracket. After the fixing bracket and the connecting bracket are inserted, the third magnetic attraction part and the fourth magnetic attraction part are aligned and magnetically connected. The fixing bracket and the connecting bracket are easy to assemble and disassemble, and are stable after connection, facilitating the movement of the connecting bracket by the fixing bracket and the application of pressure to the blade edge.

[0015] Furthermore, the third drive unit includes a third motor and a rotating base. The third motor is located below the rotating base, and the receiving plate is detachably mounted on the rotating base. The shaft of the third motor drives the rotating base to rotate, and the receiving plate rotates synchronously with the rotating base. The receiving plate receives the food cut by the blade assembly, and the rotating base drives the receiving plate to rotate, so that the food is relatively evenly distributed in the receiving plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the top surface of the rotating seat is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the bottom of the receiving tray is provided with a positioning hole. The bottom surface of the receiving tray sits on the top surface of the rotating seat, and the limiting protrusion is inserted into the positioning hole. The receiving tray and the rotating seat are detachable, which makes it easy to remove food through the receiving tray and also makes it easy to clean the receiving tray.

[0017] This invention utilizes an extrusion device, a cutting device, and a rotating receiving device to achieve the extrusion, cutting, and uniform placement of food, saving users time and effort. The detachable design of the cavity, pushing assembly, connecting frame, blade, and receiving tray facilitates cleaning after food processing and ensures safe and hygienic use.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example 1, see Figure 1-5 As shown, a food processing device for a food processor includes an extrusion device 10, a cutting device 20, and a rotating receiving device 30 disposed within a body 1.

[0025] The extrusion device 10 includes a cavity 40 for containing food, a feeding assembly 50, and a first driving device 60. The rear ends of the first driving device 60 and the feeding assembly 50 are detachably connected. The front end of the cavity 40 is provided with a discharge hole 44. The first driving device 60 is used to drive the feeding assembly 50 to extrude the food in the cavity 40 from the discharge hole 44.

[0026] In this embodiment, the cavity 40 includes a cavity cover 41 and a cavity body 42. The front end of the cavity body 42 has a discharge port 43. The front ends of the cavity cover 41 and the cavity body 42 are screwed together to seal the discharge port 43. The cavity cover 41 has the discharge hole 44. The rear end of the cavity body 42 has a clearance hole 45 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cavity body 42. The pushing assembly 50 includes a piston rod 51 and a sealing plug 52. The piston rod 51 is located inside the cavity body 42, and its rear end extends out of the clearance hole 45. The sealing plug 52 is fitted onto the front end of the piston rod 51. The sealing plug 52 moves with the piston rod 51, and slides in contact with the inner wall of the cavity body 42, thus enclosing the front end of the piston rod 51. The end face of the cavity cover 41 has a row of discharge holes 44. When the front ends of the cavity cover 41 and the cavity body 42 are screwed together, the discharge holes 44 are arranged horizontally in a row. The cavity body 42 and the machine body 1 are matched to limit the displacement of the cavity body 42 in five directions: front-back, left-right, and down, so that the cavity body 42 can only be taken out from the upper opening of the machine body 1. The cavity body 40 is installed on the machine body 1, and the end face of the cavity cover 41 above the discharge hole 44 is abutted or close to the machine body 1 (i.e., there is an assembly gap).

[0027] In this embodiment, the first driving device 60 includes a first linear stepper motor 61, a first nut 63, a guide member 64, and a push rod 66. The first screw 62 of the first linear stepper motor 61 is arranged parallel to the piston rod 51 of the pusher assembly 50. The guide member 64 is located inside the machine body 1, below the piston rod 51. The first linear stepper motor 61 is located at one end of the guide member 64. The first screw 62 extends into the guide member 64. The top surface of the guide member 64 has an elongated guide hole 65 along the length of the first screw 62. The first nut 63 is threadedly connected to the first screw 62 inside the guide member 64. The lower end of the push rod 66 is fixedly connected to the first screw 62 inside the guide member 64. The upper end of the push rod 66 passes through the guide hole 65 and is detachably connected to the rear end of the piston rod 51. The guide hole 65 restricts the rotation of the push rod 66. The first screw 62 of the first linear stepper motor 61 rotates, causing the first nut 63 to move. The push rod 66 moves back and forth in the guide hole 65 along with the first nut 63. The push rod 66 drives the piston rod 51 to move forward or back and forth.

[0028] In this embodiment, the push rod 66 has a connecting part 67 at the end facing the piston rod 51. The connecting part 67 is vertically arranged in a straight line shape, with rounded top and bottom surfaces. The top and bottom of the connecting part 67 facing the piston rod 51 are respectively provided with first magnetic attraction parts 68. The piston rod 51 has a movable groove 53 at its rear end, and a notch 54 radially communicating with the movable groove 53 at its rear end. A stop 55 is provided on the side wall of the movable groove 53, and second magnetic attraction parts 56 are respectively provided near the bottom of the movable groove 53 on both sides. The connecting part 67 is inserted into the movable groove 53 through the notch 54. At this time, the first magnetic attraction parts 68 and the second magnetic attraction parts 56 are misaligned. The piston rod 51 rotates synchronously, causing the movable groove 53 to rotate circumferentially relative to the connecting part 67 by a preset angle. The connecting part 67 and the notch 54 are misaligned, and the first magnetic attraction parts 68 and the second magnetic attraction parts 56 are aligned and magnetically connected, keeping the connecting part 67 inserted into the movable groove 53. The push rod 66 and the piston rod 51 move back and forth synchronously. Specifically, the piston rod 51 rotates 90° within the movable groove 53 and abuts against the stop 55, and the first magnetic attraction part 68 and the second magnetic attraction part 56 are aligned and magnetically connected. Both the first magnetic attraction part 68 and the second magnetic attraction part 56 are magnets.

[0029] In another embodiment, the push rod 66 has a connecting portion 67 at one end facing the piston rod 51, and the piston rod 51 has a movable groove 53 at its rear end. The rear end of the piston rod 51 has a notch 54 radially communicating with the movable groove 53. The connecting portion 67 is radially aligned with the movable groove 53 and is inserted into the movable groove 53 through the notch 54. The piston rod 51 drives the movable groove 53 to rotate, causing the connecting portion 67 and the notch 54 to be misaligned. The push rod 66 moves forward, keeping the connecting portion 67 inserted into the movable groove 53, but the first linear stepper motor 61 drives the push rod 66 backward, separating the connecting portion 67 from the movable groove 53. This allows the push rod 66 and the piston rod 51 to separate automatically, without the need for manual separation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cutting device 20 includes a second driving device 21 and a blade assembly 22. The second driving device 21 drives the blade assembly 22 to move relative to the discharge hole 44, causing the blade assembly 22 to cut the food extruded from the discharge hole 44. The second driving device 21 is a second linear stepper motor. The blade assembly 22 includes a fixing frame 23, a connecting frame 24, and a blade 25. The fixing frame 23 is threadedly connected to the second linear stepper motor via a second nut 27 and a second screw 26. The fixing frame 23 and the connecting frame 24 are detachably connected in the horizontal direction. The blade 25 is installed on the side of the connecting frame 24 away from the fixing frame 23. The rotation of the second screw 26 drives the second nut 27 and the fixing frame 23 to move up and down. The connecting frame 24 and the blade 25 move up and down relative to the discharge hole 44 as the fixing frame 23 moves up and down. The fixing frame 23 has a slot 28 on the side facing the cavity 40, and the connecting frame 24 has a plug 29 on the side facing the fixing frame 23. A third magnetic attraction part 281 is provided in the slot 28, and a fourth magnetic attraction part 291 is provided on the plug 29. The plug 29 is horizontally inserted into the slot 28, and the third magnetic attraction part 281 and the fourth magnetic attraction part 291 are aligned and magnetically connected, achieving a horizontal insertion and engagement between the fixing frame 23 and the connecting frame 24. The fixing frame 23 has a guide hole 230, and the body 1 has a guide post 11. The guide post 11 passes through the guide hole 230, and the fixing frame 23 moves up and down along the guide post 11 through the guide hole 230.

[0031] The rotating receiving device 30 includes a third driving device 31 and a receiving plate 34. The receiving plate 34 is located below the discharge hole 44. The third driving device 31 drives the receiving plate 34 to rotate, so that the food falls evenly into the receiving plate 34. The third driving device 31 includes a third motor 32 and a rotating base 33. The third motor 32 is located below the rotating base 33. The receiving plate 34 can be detachably placed on the rotating base 33. The shaft of the third motor 32 drives the rotating base 33 to rotate, and the receiving plate 34 rotates synchronously with the rotating base 33. The top surface of the rotating base 33 is provided with a limiting protrusion 35, and the bottom of the receiving plate 34 is provided with a positioning hole 36. The bottom surface of the receiving plate 34 sits on the top surface of the rotating base 33, and the limiting protrusion 35 is inserted into the positioning hole 36. The third motor 32 is a DC motor. In this embodiment, the rotating receiving device 30 is installed on a drawer 12 that is pulled out and located on the side of the machine body 1. The drawer 12 and the machine body 1 are electrically connected through an electrical coupler, thereby enabling the machine body 1 to supply power to the third motor 32.

[0032] Working principle: The cavity 40 and the feeding assembly 50 are removed together. The cavity cover 41 is unscrewed, and the pre-treated food (such as minced meat or mixed pasta) is placed into the cavity 42. After tightening the cavity cover 41, the cavity 40 and the feeding assembly 50 are placed into the machine body 1 together. The piston rod 51 and the push rod 66 of the feeding assembly 50 are connected. The first linear stepper motor 61 is started, which moves the push rod 66 forward. The push rod 66 drives the piston rod 51 forward, compressing the food in the cavity 40. The food is squeezed out from the discharge hole 44 and is in the form of a long strip. The second linear stepper motor moves the blade 25 up and down, cutting the long strip of food into segments or granules. The length of the segments or granules is determined by the frequency of the up and down movement of the blade 25. The segments or granules fall onto the receiving tray 34. Due to the rotation of the receiving tray 34 by the third motor 32, the segments of food are more evenly distributed in the receiving tray 34. The user removes the receiving tray 34 and then cooks the segmented or granular food inside the receiving tray 34.

[0033] After food processing, the cavity 40, pusher assembly 50, blade 25 and receiving tray 34 that came into contact with the food can be removed for cleaning to avoid food residue causing odor, mold, spoilage and other problems, and to ensure the safety of food processing next time.

[0034] This food processor can be used by a single person or by a single pet.
