Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food processing device, and more particularly to a temperature detection structure for a mixing cup. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and their work pace accelerates, food processing equipment such as food processors, grinders, and blenders are becoming increasingly popular.

[0003] Common food processing equipment on the market, such as ordinary household blenders and food processors, mainly focus on basic functions such as blending and pulverizing ingredients. In terms of temperature control, most rely on factory-preset fixed temperature parameters, lacking intelligent adjustment mechanisms, resulting in a poor user experience. Taking a common high-speed blender as an example, its temperature control system is usually integrated into the main unit, using a simple temperature sensor to monitor the temperature and stopping operation when the preset temperature is reached, making it difficult to achieve visual interaction and temperature control.

[0004] Furthermore, existing food processing equipment temperature control systems are mostly integrated designs, either within the container or the main unit, making it impossible to accurately measure the actual temperature of ingredients of different volumes and placed in different locations. Additionally, if the temperature control system malfunctions, repairs require complete disassembly and repair of the main unit, increasing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing temperature detection structure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a temperature detection structure for a stirring cup. The temperature detection structure for a stirring cup is characterized by including a cup body 1, a base 2, a temperature sensing source component 3, and a temperature sensing and signal transmission component 4, wherein the cup body 1 is mounted on the base 2, the temperature sensing source component 3 is detachably disposed on the bottom of the cup body 1, and the temperature sensing and signal transmission component 4 is installed inside the base 2.

[0024] The temperature sensing source assembly 3 includes a temperature sensing cap 31, a probe cap 32, a temperature sensor probe 33, a terminal bracket 34, and a signal line 35. The probe cap 32 is disposed inside the temperature sensing cap 31, the temperature sensor probe 33 is disposed inside the probe cap 32, the terminal bracket 34 is installed on the bottom of the cup body 1, and a terminal 341 is installed on the terminal bracket 34. One end of the signal line 35 is connected to the temperature sensor probe 33, and the other end is connected to the terminal 341.

[0025] The temperature sensing and signal transmission component 4 includes a socket 41 and a terminal wire 42. The terminal wire 42 and the socket 41 are detachably connected. The terminal bracket 34 is detachably mounted on the socket 41, and the terminal 341 and the terminal wire 42 are detachably electrically connected together.

[0026] This embodiment provides a temperature detection structure for a mixing cup. The split layout of the temperature detection structure not only reduces temperature acquisition errors but also facilitates troubleshooting and component replacement during maintenance, extending the equipment's lifespan. Furthermore, it features a visual human-computer interaction and temperature control, enabling more precise temperature control during food preparation and adapting to the diverse needs of more users, thereby improving the user experience.

[0027] Specifically, the temperature sensing source assembly 3 also includes a sealing ring 36 and a retaining spring 37. An installation groove 11 is formed at the bottom of the cup body 1. The probe cap 32 and the temperature sensor probe 33 are installed in the installation groove 11 via the temperature sensing cap 31. The sealing ring 36 is abutted between the upper end of the temperature sensing cap 31 and the bottom wall of the cup body 1, and the retaining spring 37 is abutted between the bottom of the temperature sensing cap 31 and the bottom wall of the installation groove 11. The temperature sensing cap 31 is fixed to the cup body 1 through the sealing ring 36 and the retaining spring 37, achieving contact with the environment inside the cup.

[0028] When maintenance is required, the maintenance personnel can first remove the terminal bracket 34, loosen the retaining spring 37, and then remove the temperature sensing cap 31, probe cap 32, and related components. Faulty components (such as replacing the temperature sensor probe 33, repairing the signal line 35, etc.) can then be repaired or replaced. Afterwards, the assembly process is reversed to reassemble all components, completing the equipment maintenance. This modular layout avoids the tedious process of disassembling the entire device, significantly improving maintenance efficiency, reducing repair difficulty, and extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0029] Furthermore, the temperature-sensing cap 31 is mushroom-shaped, comprising a head 311 with a larger outer diameter and a columnar portion 312 with a smaller outer diameter. The outer diameter of the columnar portion 312 is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the mounting groove 11, while the outer diameter of the head 311 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting groove 11. This mushroom-shaped design of the temperature-sensing cap 31 not only optimizes the contact effect with the temperature-sensing cap 31 and improves temperature measurement sensitivity, but also allows the temperature-sensing source assembly 3 to be better fixed within the cup body 1 due to the columnar design at the lower end.

[0030] A limiting groove 12 is recessed on the top outer periphery of the mounting groove 11 and on the bottom surface inside the cup body 1. The sealing ring 36 is pressed into the limiting groove 12 by the head 311 of the temperature sensing cap 31. This creates a sealed environment at the bottom of the cup body 1 and confines the temperature sensing source assembly 3 to a fixed position.

[0031] Furthermore, the temperature-sensing cap 31 is made of metal. Since the temperature-sensing cap 31 is a component that directly contacts the food or medium inside the cup, using metal, a material with excellent thermal conductivity, allows it to quickly sense temperature changes.

[0032] Furthermore, a control system is provided on the stirring cup. The control system includes a main control circuit, which includes a PCB board, a processor, a parameter setting panel, and a display panel. The display panel is an LED panel or an LCD panel.

[0033] The temperature control principle of this invention is as follows: An electrical signal is generated by the temperature sensor probe 33, transmitted via signal line 35 to the terminal bracket 34, and then connected to the control circuit of the main unit of the device through the terminal line 42 of the socket 41. After receiving the temperature signal, the main unit control circuit performs calculations and judgments based on the device's preset program. When the machine runs continuously, the temperature of the water or food in the cup will continuously rise. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature sensor probe 33 transmits the signal to the central processing unit on the PCB board, and automatically stops the machine based on the comparison result. When the temperature drops and falls below the preset temperature, the machine can be restarted by pressing the start button, and the temperature of the food in the cup will be displayed in real time on the LED, thus achieving the purpose of temperature control.

[0034] Thanks to the powerful temperature detection capability of this temperature detection structure, the machine's 38-degree function key can automatically stop when the food reaches 38°C. The separate structure of the temperature-sensing cap 31 and the probe cap 32 controls the temperature measurement error within ±1°C, accurately matching the optimal temperature for enzyme activity. Combined with the display panel, it improves the success rate of operation. The modular design shortens maintenance time and effectively avoids enzyme inactivation and reduces food waste.

[0035] The combination of the display panel and the temperature detection structure enables more precise temperature control during food cooking and adapts to the different needs of more users, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
