[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] This embodiment provides a food processing device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the food processing device includes a base structure 1 and a cover plate 2. The base structure 1 includes a base body 11, a sliding seat 12, and a cutting assembly 13. The sliding seat 12 and the base body 11 are slidably connected. The cutting assembly 13 includes a basket 131 and a knife 132. The basket 131 is used to hold the food to be processed. One of the basket 131 and the knife 132 is connected to the sliding seat 12, so that the basket 131 and the knife 132 can move relative to each other to cut the food. The cover plate 2 is used to fasten to the base body 11 to press against the food in the basket 131, so as to ensure that the food remains stable during the cutting process.

[0039] In some embodiments, the blade 132 is disposed inside the base body 11 and connected to the sliding seat 12, and the bottom of the basket 131 is provided with a processing hole, so that the reciprocating motion of the blade 132 can be used to cut vegetables or meat in the basket 131.

[0040] In this embodiment, the blade 132 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2, and the basket 131 is connected to the sliding seat 12. The reciprocating motion of the basket 131 enables the blade 132 to cut the vegetables and meat inside the basket 131. In addition, to allow the blade 132 to enter the basket 131, clearance grooves are provided on both the front and rear side walls of the basket 131 along the direction of movement of the basket 131, allowing the blade 132 to enter the clearance grooves to cut the food inside the basket 131.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is rotatably connected to the base body 11, allowing the user to operate the cover plate 2 with one hand and ensuring stability between the cover plate 2 and the base body 11 when the blade 132 cuts the food in the basket 131. Specifically, as the cover plate 2 is fastened to the base body 11, the blade 132 abuts against the food and gradually cuts into it as the cover plate 2 rotates. The cutting of the food is completed when the cover plate 2 is fully fastened to the base body 11.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the food processing device also includes a drive mechanism 14, which is configured to drive the sliding seat 12 to reciprocate, thereby driving the basket 131 to reciprocate, so that the blade 132 can cut the food in the basket 131.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 14 includes a drive assembly and a transmission assembly 142. The transmission assembly 142 includes a rotating member 1421 and a connecting rod 1422. The drive assembly is drively connected to the rotating member 1421. One end of the connecting rod 1422 is pivotally connected to the rotating member 1421, and the other end of the connecting rod 1422 is pivotally connected to the connecting member 16. When the drive assembly is started, the rotating member 1421 begins to rotate, and at this time, the connecting rod 1422 drives the sliding seat 12 to reciprocate.

[0044] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 141, and the transmission assembly 142 also includes a rotating shaft 1423. The rotating component 1421 is connected to the rotating shaft 1423 and rotates synchronously. One end of the rotating shaft 1423 passes through the base body 11 and is detachably connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 141, so that the drive motor 141 can be separated from the base structure 1 when the food processing device is not in use, making it easy to store.

[0045] Optionally, the rotating component 1421 includes a turntable and a connecting shaft 1424 disposed on the turntable. The turntable is connected to and rotates coaxially with the rotating shaft 1423. The connecting shaft 1424 is eccentrically disposed with respect to the rotating shaft 1423 and is pivotally connected to the connecting rod 1422. This type of rotating component 1421 can evenly distribute the power of the rotating shaft 1423 to the entire surface of the turntable, reduce local loads, reduce the possibility of deformation of the rotating component 1421 after long-term use, and ensure the reliability of the transmission assembly 142.

[0046] Optionally, in order to ensure that the output shaft of the drive motor 141 and the rotating shaft 1423 can still transmit power while being detachable, a transmission tooth 14231 is provided on the side wall of one end of the rotating shaft 1423, and an output groove 1411 is provided at the end of the motor output shaft. An output tooth 1412 is provided on the inner wall of the output groove 1411. The rotating shaft 1423 is inserted into the output groove 1411, and the output tooth 1412 abuts against the side wall of the transmission tooth 14231.

[0047] When the output shaft of the drive motor 141 rotates, the output gear 1412 can drive the rotating shaft 1423 to rotate through the transmission gear 14231, thereby providing power for the movement of the sliding seat 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the output slot 1411 is provided with a plurality of output teeth 1412 spaced apart, and the side wall of the rotating shaft 1423 is provided with a plurality of transmission teeth 14231 protruding, each transmission tooth 14231 being located between two adjacent output teeth 1412. This structure ensures that when the output shaft rotates, its driving force is evenly distributed among the multiple transmission teeth 14231, which not only improves the uniformity of the force on the rotating shaft 1423, but also reduces the interaction force between each output tooth 1412 and the transmission tooth 14231, preventing damage.

[0049] It is worth noting that multiple transmission teeth 14231 are equally spaced, and multiple output teeth 1412 are equally spaced, allowing the rotating shaft 1423 and the output shaft to be inserted at various relative angles. On the other hand, the side wall of the other end of the rotating shaft 1423 is provided with an anti-rotation surface. The rotating shaft 1423 is inserted into the rotating component 1421, and the anti-rotation surface abuts against the rotating component 1421 to ensure that the rotating shaft 1423 and the rotating component 1421 rotate synchronously.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the sliding seat 12 has a mounting opening 121, and support protrusions 122 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting opening 121. The basket 131 or the knife 132 is detachably mounted in the mounting opening 121 and supported by the two support protrusions 122. The inner wall of the mounting opening 121 can provide positioning and limiting for the basket 131 or the knife 132. With the two support protrusions 122 working together to abut against the basket 131 or the knife 132, the stability of the position of the basket 131 or the knife 132 can be ensured.

[0051] Specifically, both the basket 131 and the knife 132 are provided with buckles. The buckles are engaged with the edge of the mounting opening 121 at a position outside the two support protrusions 122 to engage and fix the basket 131 with the sliding seat 12 or the knife 132 with the sliding seat 12.

[0052] Optionally, support protrusions 122 are provided on both opposite sides of the mounting port 121.

[0053] In this embodiment, the food processing device can be a cutting and slicing machine or a cooking robot. Both cutting and slicing machines and cooking robots can process specific ingredients. Cutting and slicing machines can quickly complete operations such as slicing, shredding, and dicing ingredients, and the thickness / shape is uniform, avoiding human error and ensuring the appearance of the dishes and the consistency of cooking. Cooking robots can also be set with cutting and slicing functions, which can not only realize the physical processing of ingredients, but also accurately control the heat, seasoning, and time, ensuring that the taste and cooking degree of the dishes are consistent, and the serving efficiency is high, which can alleviate peak pressure.

[0054] It is understandable that in order to reduce wear between the sliding seat 12 and the base body 11, both the base body 11 and the sliding seat 12 need to be manufactured using high-strength and high-wear-resistant materials, which requires a large amount of material. This material is expensive, which increases costs and is not conducive to market competition.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to solve the above problems, a guide frame 111 is provided inside the base body 11. The guide frame 111 is detachably connected to the base body 11. The guide frame 111 is provided with a slide groove 111a. The sliding seat 12 is provided with a slider 15. The slider 15 is detachably connected to the sliding seat 12. The slider 15 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 111a.

[0056] This utility model provides a base structure 1 and a food processing device. In the base structure 1, a detachable guide frame 111 is provided inside the base body 11, and a detachable slider 15 is provided on the sliding seat 12. The slider 15 is slidably connected to the guide frame 111. A drive mechanism 14 can drive the sliding seat 12 to slide, thereby causing the basket 131 or knife 132 connected to the sliding seat 12 to reciprocate, enabling the knife 132 to cut the food in the basket 131. Because the guide frame 111 and the base body 11 are detachably connected, and the slider 15 and the sliding seat 12 are detachably connected, different materials can be used to manufacture the guide frame 111 and the base body 11, as well as the slider 15 and the sliding seat 12.

[0057] In other words, both the sliding seat 12 and the base body 11 are made of low-cost materials. Only high-strength, high-wear-resistant, high-cost materials are used to manufacture the guide frame 111 and the slider 15, thereby significantly reducing the amount of high-cost materials used and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0058] For example, using ordinary plastic to manufacture the sliding seat 12 and the base body 11 ensures normal function, while using metal or solid self-lubricating materials to manufacture the slider 15 and the guide frame 111 reduces friction between the relatively moving and directly contacting structures, reduces wear, and increases service life.

[0059] Similarly, the sliding seat 12 is provided with a connector 16, which is detachably connected to the sliding seat 12 and is drively connected to the drive mechanism 14. In this embodiment, the connector 16 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod 1422.

[0060] The sliding seat 12 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod 1422 via the connecting member 16. This is because there is relative movement between the connecting member 16 and the connecting rod 1422. The connecting member 16 is made of metal or solid self-lubricating material, which reduces friction between the relatively moving and directly contacting structures, reduces wear, increases service life, and reduces overall cost.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide frame 111 includes two guide arms 111b spaced apart and a connecting beam 111c fixedly connected to both guide arms 111b. Each of the two guide arms 111b has a groove 111a on its inward side. A sliding seat 12 is disposed between the two guide arms 111b. Slider blocks 15 are detachably connected to both sides of the sliding seat 12. Each slider 15 is slidably disposed in the groove 111a on the corresponding side.

[0062] The two guide arms 111b can guide the sliding seat 12 from opposite sides to ensure the stability of the sliding seat 12 during the sliding process. At the same time, the opening direction of the slide groove 111a is horizontal, and the slide groove 111a can also support the sliding seat 12, thereby simplifying the structure inside the base body 11 and eliminating the need for an additional structure to support the sliding seat 12.

[0063] It is understandable that the sliding block and the groove 111a achieve the guiding function through sliding contact. Therefore, the surfaces in contact between the sliding block and the groove 111a need to be precision machined. However, the larger the machining area, the greater the machining difficulty, and the more easily machining errors can affect the guiding accuracy. Figure 7 As shown, in order to reduce the processing difficulty, the slider 15 is provided with a sliding part 151 protruding on the side of the groove 111a facing the bottom of the groove, and the sliding part 151 slides and abuts against the bottom of the groove 111a.

[0064] The above structure reduces the area requiring finishing to the surface of the sliding part 151, thereby significantly reducing the area requiring finishing, lowering the processing difficulty, improving processing efficiency, and increasing guiding accuracy. Furthermore, the bottom of the groove 111a is defined relative to the opening. In this embodiment, the opening of the groove 111a faces horizontally, therefore the bottom of the groove 111a is the inner wall facing the opening horizontally.

[0065] Furthermore, along the width direction of the groove 111a, the slider 15 is provided with at least two sliding parts 151 at intervals, and at least two sliding parts 151 slide against the bottom of the groove 111a.

[0066] It is understandable that the sliding part 151 extends along the sliding direction of the slider 15. Although the setting of the sliding part 151 greatly reduces the area that needs to be finely machined, it also reduces the contact area between the slider 15 and the groove 111a, which can be approximated as a line contact, thus reducing the guiding effect between the two. However, the two sliding parts 151 arranged at intervals can make the slider 15 and the groove 111a have two line contacts, which is equivalent to becoming a surface contact, greatly improving stability.

[0067] In this embodiment, a support portion 152 protrudes from the lower surface of the slider 15, and the support portion 152 slides against the inner wall of the groove 111a. The groove 111a supports the sliding seat 12 through the support portion 152, and the use of the protruding support portion 152 to slide against the inner wall of the groove 111a also reduces the area requiring fine machining, reduces the machining difficulty, improves machining efficiency, and improves guiding accuracy.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper surface of the slider 15 is provided with an anti-detachment part 153, which slides against the inner wall of the groove 111a. Normally, the slider 15 slides against the inner wall of the groove 111a, but when the sliding seat 12 vibrates or the food processing device is not completely flat, the inner wall of the groove 111a can limit the slider 15 through the anti-detachment part 153 to prevent the slider 15 from falling out of the groove 111a and causing damage to the food processing device.

[0069] Since the slider 15 has a large dimension along the sliding direction, the surface of the anti-detachment part 153 also needs to be finely machined to prevent the local thickness of the anti-detachment part 153 from being too large and getting stuck with the slide groove 111a, thus ensuring the smoothness between the slider 15 and the slide groove 111a.

[0070] In some embodiments, the anti-detachment part 153 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the slide groove 111a to allow for relative sliding between the slider 15 and the slide groove 111a, thereby reducing the requirements for the finishing of the anti-detachment part 153, improving processing efficiency and reducing costs.

[0071] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the slider 15 and the sliding seat 12, the sliding seat 12 is provided with a limiting pin 123, and the slider 15 is provided with a limiting hole 154, with the limiting pin 123 passing through the limiting hole 154.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
