Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The meat grinder of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the assembly includes a main unit 1 and a snagging assembly 2. The main unit 1 is equipped with a motor assembly 12, and the snagging assembly 2 is equipped with an auger 22. The motor assembly 12 drives the auger 22 to rotate, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, the motor assembly 12 includes a motor housing 120. A connector 123 is provided at the right end of the motor housing 120. The connector 123 is connected to the motor housing 120 by corresponding screws. The connector 123 is provided with a screw thread groove 1231, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the auger assembly 2 is provided with a three-way housing 21, and the auger 22 is rotatably connected inside the three-way housing 21, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the left end of the three-way housing 21 has a locking tooth 211, as... Figure 3As shown, the locking teeth 211 engage with the corresponding locking slots 1231. The motor assembly 12 is provided with an output shaft 121, and the locking slots 1231 are circumferentially distributed around the axis of the output shaft 121. Specifically, the motor assembly 12 also includes a motor, a worm gear, and a worm (note that the worm gear and worm are not shown in the figures). The motor is located inside the lower end of the motor housing 120. The axis of the motor shaft is vertical. The lower end of the worm is coaxially connected to the motor shaft. The worm meshes with the worm gear. The axis of rotation of the worm gear is horizontal. A transmission shaft is coaxially mounted on the worm gear. The output shaft 121 is coaxially sleeved on the right end of the transmission shaft. The output shaft 121 is connected to the left end of the auger 22 via a spline. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the motor assembly 12 includes an inner spline sleeve 122. The right end of the output shaft 121 is coaxially inserted into the left end of the inner spline sleeve 122. The right end of the output shaft 121 can be a flat shaft structure. An internal spline is formed inside the right end of the inner spline sleeve 122. An external spline connector 221 is coaxially mounted on the left end of the auger 22. The axis of the auger 22 is along the left-right direction. The right end of the external spline connector 221 is connected to the left end of the tee housing 21 through a sliding bearing. Figure 6 As shown, the external spline connector 221 protrudes to the left from the tee housing 21, as... Figure 3 As shown, the external spline connector 221 is adapted to the internal spline connector, thereby enabling the motor assembly 12 to drive the auger 22 to rotate. Figure 2 As shown, a blade 24 is installed at the right end of the auger 22, and a blade plate is installed inside the right end of the three-way housing 21. Several discharge holes are formed on the blade plate. The blade 24 rests against the left side of the blade plate. A spindle is coaxially installed at the right end of the auger 22, and the spindle coaxially passes through the blade plate, thus supporting the right end of the auger 22. Figure 9 As shown, the connector 123 is slidably connected to a locking element 13, which forms a button 131 and a locking rod 132, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the left end of the three-way housing 21 is provided with a slot 2111, which is formed on the corresponding screw teeth 211, such as... Figure 10 Combination Figure 9 As shown, the right end of the locking rod 132 is inserted into the slot 2111. The main unit 1 is equipped with a locking spring 14 for moving the locking rod 132 to the right, and the right end of the locking spring 14 is connected to the locking rod 132. Figure 5 As shown, the hopper 4 is installed at the upper end of the three-way shell 21. The hopper 4 has a discharge hole, and the three-way shell 21 is connected to the discharge hole. So the meat enters the interior of the three-way shell 21 through the discharge hole. The auger 22 pushes the meat to the right, and the blade 24 rotates to cut the meat that has passed through the discharge hole, thereby chopping and discharging the meat.

[0026] like Figure 5As shown, when it is necessary to separate the main unit 1 from the winch assembly 2, first press the button 131 to the left, causing the locking member 13 to move to the left. This causes the right end of the locking rod 132 to move to the left and disengage from the slot 2111. Then, rotate the three-way housing 21 to disengage the locking teeth 211 from the locking groove 1231. Finally, pull the three-way housing 21 to the right, as shown... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connector 123 has a clearance notch 1232. The rotating teeth 211 move to the right away from the connector 123 through the clearance notch 1232. At the same time, the outer spline connector 221 separates from the inner spline sleeve 122, that is, the grinding assembly 2 is separated from the motor assembly 12. This allows the grinding assembly 2 to be rinsed with water, which is beneficial for cleaning the grinding assembly 2 and can prevent the motor assembly 12 from being invaded by water. Compared with the prior art, the meat grinder of this utility model is easier to clean. After cleaning, insert the outer spline connector 221 into the inner spline sleeve 122. At the same time, the locking teeth 211 pass through the avoidance notch 1232, and the button 131 is pressed again. Then, rotate the tee shell 21 in the opposite direction so that the locking teeth 211 are screwed into the locking groove 1231. Then release the button 131. The elastic restoring force of the locking spring 14 pushes the locking member 13 to the right, so that the locking rod 132 moves to the right and inserts itself into the slot 2111. At this time, rotating the tee shell 21 again will be blocked by the locking rod 132, thus avoiding the accidental operation of rotating the tee shell 21 during the use of the meat grinder, which would cause the grinding assembly 2 to be unstable or separated from the main unit 1. Therefore, by setting the locking member 13, it is beneficial to reliably install and connect the grinding assembly 2 and the main unit 1.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lock 13 has an arm 133. One end of the arm 133 is integrated with the lock rod 132, and the other end of the arm 133 is integrated with the button 131. The connector 123 has a guide protrusion 1201, which is adapted to pass through the arm 133, so the arm 133 can slide left and right on the guide protrusion 1201. The locking spring 14 is sleeved on the guide protrusion 1201. The left end of the guide protrusion 1201 is integrated with the connector 123, and the right end of the locking spring 14 is attached to the arm 133. So when the button 131 is pressed to the left, the arm 133 pushes the locking spring 14 to the left, causing the locking spring 14 to elastically compress and deform. By setting the guide protrusion 1201, the locking spring 14 can move flexibly and stably.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main unit 1 has a housing 11, and the motor assembly 12 is disposed inside the housing 11, as follows. Figure 8 As shown, the right end of button 131 protrudes from the housing 11, making it easy for users to see button 131 and to operate button 131 directly from outside the host 1.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a bracket 5 is provided at the left end of the housing 11, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the support 5 includes an elastic clamping fork 51, which clamps a pusher rod 3. The pusher rod 3 is inserted into the discharge hole of the hopper 4. When the meat is difficult to discharge, the lower end of the pusher rod 3 can be inserted into the discharge hole, and the lower end of the pusher rod 3 pushes the meat against the auger 22, which helps the auger 22 effectively push the meat to the right. Commercially available meat grinders come with a pusher rod for pressing the meat, but the rod is an accessory; that is, the meat grinder itself does not have a structure for placing or positioning the rod. Therefore, it takes time to find the rod when needed, and the rod is easily lost when the meat grinder is not used for a long time. This invention uses an elastic clamping fork 51 to hold the pusher rod 3. After using the pusher rod 3, the user can radially press it into the elastic clamping fork 51. During this process, the elastic clamping fork 51 elastically expands and deforms. When the pusher rod 3 is needed, it is pulled out to the left, thus making the meat grinder more convenient and practical. Figure 5 As shown, the pusher bar 3 can have a shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, so the pusher bar 3 can also be inserted into the elastic clamp fork 51 from top to bottom.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pusher rod 3 includes a rod body 31, which has a hollow structure, as... Figure 11 As shown, the upper end of the rod 31 has an opening 311, thus the rod 31 has a cup-shaped structure, as... Figure 2 As shown, the opening 311 is covered with a cover 32, which can be fastened to the upper end of the rod 31. Thus, accessories can be placed inside the rod 31. After opening the cover 32, the accessories can be removed for use. Therefore, designing the rod 31 as a hollow structure facilitates the storage of accessories. Figure 11 As shown, the above-mentioned accessories can be blade spare 99 and cookie attachment 98. Blade spare 99 can be provided with discharge holes of different specifications than the blade installed on the three-way shell 21. After the blade on the three-way shell 21 is removed and replaced with the cookie attachment 98, the meat grinder of this utility model can be used to extrude dough into shape for making cookies.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bracket 5 includes a handle 52, and the right end of the elastic clamping fork 51 is integrally connected to the left end of the handle 52, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, a spring clip 521 is formed on the handle 52, as... Figure 5 As shown, a socket 1101 is formed at the left end of the housing 11. The socket 1101 is a rectangular socket, as shown in the figure. Figure 4As shown, a latching groove 1102 is formed on the inner wall of the socket 1101, and the handle 52 is located inside the socket 1101. The spring clip 521 connects to the latching groove 1102, which facilitates the simple installation structure of the bracket 5 and the housing 11. During the installation of the bracket 5 and the housing 11, the handle 52 is inserted into the socket 1101, and then the edge of the socket 1101 presses down the spring clip 521. When the spring clip 521 reaches the latching groove 1102, the spring clip 521 resets and springs up to latch into the latching groove 1102, thereby preventing the bracket 5 from being easily pulled out of the housing 11.
