Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of everyday small household appliances, and in particular to a mixing cup and a meat grinder. Background Technology

[0002] A meat grinder is a machine that grinds and mixes materials, such as meat or vegetables. A typical meat grinder consists of a blade and a mixing cup. A motor or crank drives the blade to rotate and chop the materials inside the mixing cup. One type of mixing cup is made of plastic, a relatively soft and easily deformed material unsuitable for electric meat grinders. This type has square strips on the inner wall to change the direction of material movement, but the regular shape of these strips can cause material to become stuck in the gaps between the strips and the grinding cup, making them difficult to clean. Another type of mixing cup is made of stainless steel. This type requires repeated opening and closing of the lid to observe the grinding process and prevent over-grinding, which could affect the usability of the food. A third type of mixing cup is made of glass. This type allows for easy observation of the grinding process and is sturdy enough for electric meat grinders. However, the mixing cup and motor together are relatively heavy and difficult to handle. Furthermore, the smooth outer surface of the glass mixing cup is prone to water or oil stains on the hands, making it easy to drop and break during handling or movement. Utility Model Content

[0003] One of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a mixing cup that makes it easy to observe the crushing of materials, and at the same time, it is provided with a protective cover on the outside, which covers the opening and bottom edge of the cup body to protect the mixing cup body.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A mixing cup includes a cup body with an opening on its upper side and a cavity for holding materials inside the cup body. A pivot for fixing an external blade assembly is provided inside the cavity. A protective cover is provided on the outer side of the cup body, and an observation port is provided on the side wall of the protective cover. A first reinforcing edge is provided along the edge of the opening, protruding from the outer wall of the cup body. A first covering edge is provided on the protective cover, with the inner side wall of the first covering edge fitting against the side wall of the first reinforcing edge, and a gap between the inner bottom surface of the first covering edge and the bottom surface of the first reinforcing edge.

[0006] Preferably, lugs are provided on both sides opposite to the opening edge, and a corresponding protective groove is provided on the protective cover. The protective groove communicates with the first covering edge, and the inner sidewall of the protective groove fits against the sidewall of the lug. There is a gap between the inner bottom surface of the protective groove and the bottom surface of the lug.

[0007] Preferably, the protective groove is offset from the observation port.

[0008] Preferably, a first fitting portion is provided circumferentially on the upper part of the protective cover, the first fitting portion protrudes from the inner wall of the protective cover and the lower side of the first fitting portion is inclinedly transitioned to the inner wall of the protective cover; a second fitting portion is provided circumferentially on the lower part of the protective cover, the second fitting portion protrudes from the inner wall of the protective cover and the upper side of the second fitting portion is inclinedly transitioned to the inner wall of the protective cover; the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are fitted to the outer wall of the cup body.

[0009] Preferably, the first adhesive portion is disposed on the lower side of the first covering edge, and the observation port is disposed between the first adhesive portion and the second adhesive portion.

[0010] Preferably, a second reinforcing edge with a downward protrusion is provided at the bottom edge of the cup body, and a second covering groove is provided at the bottom of the protective cover, the width of the second covering groove being greater than the width of the second reinforcing edge.

[0011] Preferably, the inner edge of the second covering groove is inclined upward and connected to the bottom surface of the protective cover to form a slope, and the bottom surface of the protective cover is provided with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs, the ends of which are connected to the slope.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom surface of the protective cover is in contact with the bottom surface of the cup body, and the bottom surface of the protective cover is provided with a first through hole in the middle, the bottom surface of the cup body is provided with a second through hole in the middle, the rotating shaft is provided with an internal thread, and the screw passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence to be threadedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of longitudinal protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity, the protrusions are connected to the arc surface of the inner wall of the receiving cavity, the height of the protrusions gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the width of the protrusions gradually narrows from top to bottom.

[0014] In the above-mentioned technical solutions, when a mixing cup is dropped on the ground, the rim or bottom edge of the cup will hit the ground first, causing the cup body to be subjected to excessive impact force and break. In this application, the protective cover completely covers the opening and bottom edge of the cup body. In this way, when the mixing cup is dropped, the protective cover has a buffering effect on the impact force, thereby protecting the cup body. Firstly, a first covering edge is provided at the mouth of the cup. The inner wall of the first covering edge fits against the side wall of the first reinforcing edge at the opening, thus limiting the cup body and preventing it from wobbling left and right inside the protective cover and easily breaking. Simultaneously, there is a gap between the inner bottom surface of the first covering edge and the bottom surface of the first reinforcing edge. When the cup body falls to the ground with its opening side facing down, the outer wall of the first covering edge hits the ground first, and then the impact force is transmitted to other parts of the protective cover through the bottom surface of the first covering edge. Because there is a gap between the inner bottom surface of the first covering edge and the bottom surface of the first reinforcing edge, the bottom surface of the first covering edge has room for deformation, which can absorb and weaken the impact force, thus reducing the impact force transmitted to the cup body. At the same time, an observation port is provided on the side wall of the protective cover, allowing a direct view of the material crushing process inside the mixing cup.

[0015] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a meat grinder that uses the mixing cup in the above-mentioned technical solution. While making it easy to observe the crushing of materials, it is also equipped with a protective cover to cover the opening and bottom edge of the cup body to protect the mixing cup body.

[0017] A meat grinder includes a mixing cup as described in the above technical solution. The meat grinder also includes a top cover that can cover the mixing cup. A mounting groove is provided in the middle of the top cover. A plurality of positioning blocks are provided in the mounting groove and a third through hole is provided in the middle of the mounting groove. A driving device is provided in the mounting groove, and the driving device drives the blade assembly to rotate in the receiving cavity. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a mixing cup includes a cup body 1, which is made of transparent glass. The cup body 1 has an opening on its upper side, and the interior of the cup body forms a receiving cavity 8 for holding materials. A rotating shaft 3 for fixing an external blade assembly is provided in the receiving cavity 8. A protective cover 2 covers the outside of the cup body 1, which covers the opening and bottom edge of the cup body to protect it.

[0027] A first reinforcing edge 121 is provided at the edge of the cup opening, protruding from the outer wall 11 of the cup body 1. The first reinforcing edge 121 enhances the strength of the edge at the opening of the cup body. A first covering edge 22 is provided on the protective cover 2. The inner sidewall 221 of the first covering edge fits against the sidewall 121 of the first reinforcing edge, thus limiting the cup body 1 and preventing it from swaying left and right inside the protective cover and easily breaking. At the same time, there is a gap between the inner bottom surface 222 of the first covering edge and the bottom surface 122 of the first reinforcing edge. When the cup body 1 falls to the ground with its opening side facing down, the outer wall of the first covering edge hits the ground first, and then the impact force is transmitted to other parts of the protective cover 2 through the bottom surface of the first covering edge. Because there is a gap between the inner bottom surface 222 of the first covering edge and the bottom surface 122 of the first reinforcing edge, the bottom surface of the first covering edge has room for deformation and can absorb and weaken the impact force, thus reducing the impact force transmitted to the cup body. An observation port 21 is provided on the side wall of the protective cover 2, through which the crushing of the material in the mixing cup 1 can be directly observed.

[0028] A second reinforcing edge 13 with a downward protrusion is provided at the bottom edge of the cup body 1, and a second covering groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 2. The width of the second covering groove 25 is greater than the width of the second reinforcing edge 13, and the inner edge of the second covering groove 25 is inclined upward and connected to the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover to form a ramp 27. The bottom surface 14 of the cup body is attached to the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover. When the cup body 1 falls to the ground with its bottom facing down, the outer wall of the second covering groove 25 hits the ground first, and then the impact force is transmitted to other positions of the protective cover 2 through the bottom of the second covering groove. Because the width of the second covering groove 25 is greater than the width of the second reinforcing edge 13, the ramp between the second covering groove 25 and the bottom surface of the protective cover has space to absorb and weaken the impact force, so the impact force transmitted to the cup body is weakened.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, lugs 4 are provided on opposite sides of the opening edge, and a corresponding protective groove 5 is provided on the protective cover 2. The protective groove 5 communicates with the first covering edge 22, and the inner sidewall 51 of the protective groove fits against the sidewall 41 of the lug. There is a gap between the inner bottom surface 52 of the protective groove and the bottom surface 42 of the lug. The lugs 4 and the protective groove 5 interact to prevent the cup body 1 from rotating left and right inside the protective cover 2. At the same time, the lugs 4 also have a positioning function for the upper cover 9.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a first fitting portion 23 is provided circumferentially on the upper part of the protective cover 2. The first fitting portion 23 protrudes from the inner wall of the protective cover 2, and the lower side of the first fitting portion 23 is inclinedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 2. A second fitting portion 24 is provided circumferentially on the lower part of the protective cover 2. The second fitting portion 24 protrudes from the inner wall of the protective cover 2, and the upper side of the second fitting portion 24 is inclinedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover. The first fitting portion 23 and the second fitting portion 24 are fitted to the outer wall 11 of the cup body. The first fitting portion 23 and the second fitting portion 24 can further reduce the error gap between the cup body 1 and the protective cover 2 caused by processing and other reasons.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the first fitting portion 23 is disposed on the lower side of the first covering edge 22, the observation port 21 is disposed between the first fitting portion 23 and the second fitting portion 24, and the protective groove 5 is offset from the observation port 21, thereby enhancing the connection between the protective groove 5 and the protective cover 2.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of longitudinal protrusions 81 are provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 8. The protrusions 81 are connected to the arc surface of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 8. The height of the protrusions 81 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the width of the protrusions 81 gradually narrows from top to bottom. When the food is stirred and crushed, the food is subjected to the action of the protrusions, so that the food is fully subjected to the turbulence during the stirring and crushing process, so as to achieve full contact with the blade assembly and improve the stirring and crushing effect of the food.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover is provided with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 28, the ends of which are connected to the ramp 27. The reinforcing ribs 28 can prevent the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover from deforming, and at the same time, the reinforcing ribs 28 make the bottom of the protective cover flatter.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover is provided with a first through hole 29 in the middle, the bottom surface 14 of the cup body is provided with a second through hole 15 in the middle, the rotating shaft 3 is provided with an internal thread, and the screw 6 passes through the first through hole 29 and the second through hole 15 in sequence to be threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. Gaskets are provided between the screw 6 and the protective cover 2, and between the rotating shaft 3 and the cup body 1. At the same time, a rubber gasket is also provided between the rotating shaft 3 and the cup body 1.

[0035] Another objective of this application is to provide a meat grinder, including the mixing cup described above. The mixing cup includes a cup body 1, which is made of transparent glass. The cup body 1 has an opening on its upper side, and an internal cavity 8 for holding materials is formed inside the cup body. A rotating shaft 3 for fixing the blade assembly is located within the cavity 8. A protective cover 2 covers the outside of the cup body 1, protecting the cup body 1 by enclosing the opening and bottom edge of the cup body.

[0036] A first reinforcing edge 121 is provided at the edge of the cup opening, protruding from the outer wall 11 of the cup body 1. The first reinforcing edge 121 enhances the strength of the edge at the opening of the cup body. A first covering edge 22 is provided on the protective cover 2. The inner sidewall 221 of the first covering edge fits against the sidewall 121 of the first reinforcing edge, thus limiting the cup body 1 and preventing it from swaying left and right inside the protective cover and easily breaking. At the same time, there is a gap between the inner bottom surface 222 of the first covering edge and the bottom surface 122 of the first reinforcing edge. When the cup body 1 falls to the ground with its opening side facing down, the outer wall of the first covering edge hits the ground first, and then the impact force is transmitted to other parts of the protective cover 2 through the bottom surface of the first covering edge. Because there is a gap between the inner bottom surface 222 of the first covering edge and the bottom surface 122 of the first reinforcing edge, the bottom surface of the first covering edge has room for deformation and can absorb and weaken the impact force, thus reducing the impact force transmitted to the cup body. An observation port 21 is provided on the side wall of the protective cover 2, through which the crushing of the material in the mixing cup 1 can be directly observed.

[0037] A second reinforcing edge 13 with a downward protrusion is provided at the bottom edge of the cup body 1, and a second covering groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 2. The width of the second covering groove 25 is greater than the width of the second reinforcing edge 13, and the inner edge of the second covering groove 25 is inclined upward and connected to the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover to form a ramp 27. The bottom surface 14 of the cup body is attached to the bottom surface 26 of the protective cover. When the cup body 1 falls to the ground with its bottom facing down, the outer wall of the second covering groove 25 hits the ground first, and then the impact force is transmitted to other positions of the protective cover 2 through the bottom of the second covering groove. Because the width of the second covering groove 25 is greater than the width of the second reinforcing edge 13, the ramp between the second covering groove 25 and the bottom surface of the protective cover has space to absorb and weaken the impact force, so the impact force transmitted to the cup body is weakened.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, lugs 4 are provided on opposite sides of the opening edge, and a corresponding protective groove 5 is provided on the protective cover 2. The protective groove 5 communicates with the first covering edge 22, and the inner sidewall 51 of the protective groove fits against the sidewall 41 of the lug. There is a gap between the inner bottom surface 52 of the protective groove and the bottom surface 42 of the lug. The lugs 4 and the protective groove 5 interact to prevent the cup body 1 from rotating left and right inside the protective cover 2. At the same time, the lugs 4 also have a positioning function for the upper cover 9.

[0039] The meat grinder also includes a top cover 9, which can cover the mixing cup. A downwardly extending limiting edge 94 is provided on the top cover 9, conforming to the shape of the lug 4 and capable of locking onto the outside of the lug 4 and / or the protective cover 5, thus limiting the position of the top cover 9. A mounting groove 91 is provided in the middle of the top cover 9, containing several positioning blocks 93 and a third through hole 92 in the middle of the mounting groove 91. The drive device is installed in the mounting groove 91, and the positioning blocks 93 limit and fix the drive device. The upper end of the blade assembly is connected to the drive device through the third through hole 92, and the blade assembly is rotatably fixed on the rotating shaft 3. Thus, the drive device can drive the blade assembly to rotate within the receiving cavity 8 to mix and grind the food.

[0040] This embodiment is merely an illustration of the concept and implementation of this utility model, and is not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical solution without substantial changes is still within the protection scope.
