Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juicing-related technology, and in particular to a juicing cup assembly and a juicer. Background Technology

[0002] The juicing cup assembly of existing juicers generally includes a juicing cup and a juicing body placed inside the juicing cup. Multiple support feet at the bottom of the juicing body maintain a certain distance between its bottom and the bottom of the juicing cup. During juicing, the drive unit on the juicer moves the juicing disc downwards into the juicing body to squeeze the food and extract juice. The extracted juice flows through the juice outlet on the juicing body into its lower receiving space. While this type of juicing cup assembly can meet certain usage needs, it is prone to jamming when cutting large ingredients if they are not cut into smaller pieces beforehand, and the amount of juice extracted is relatively small. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a juicing cup assembly and a juicer to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a juicing cup assembly is designed, comprising: a juicing cup, a juicing body, and a lower blade disc. A boss is provided inside the juicing cup. The juicing body is rotatably fitted above the boss and can be driven to rotate. A juice outlet hole is provided on the juicing body. The lower blade disc is vertically floatingly connected to the bottom of the juicing body. The upper ends of a plurality of lower cutting blades provided on the lower blade disc extend through a through hole in the juicing body into the interior of the juicing body.

[0006] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:

[0007] In some embodiments, the lower blade disc moves vertically and vertically with the column at the bottom of the juicing body. The upper end of the first compression spring sleeved on the column abuts against the lower blade disc, and the lower end abuts against the base at the bottom of the column. A plurality of lower cutters are circumferentially distributed on the top of the lower blade disc. When the lower cutter is pushed down and moves the lower blade disc down to abut against the base, the upper part of the lower cutter moves down into the through hole on the juicing body.

[0008] In some embodiments, a central cutter is provided in the middle of the interior of the juicing body.

[0009] In some embodiments, a cover is driven into the top of the juicing body, and the cover is connected to a first drive assembly that drives its rotation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes a first drive unit, a first drive gear connected to the drive end of the first drive unit, and a first driven gear disposed on the top of the housing, wherein the first drive gear meshes with the first driven gear.

[0011] In some embodiments, a protruding post is provided on the top of the boss, a circular groove on the bottom base of the juicing body is rotatably engaged with the protruding post, and an annular protrusion provided on the bottom of the base is in sliding contact with the top surface of the boss.

[0012] In some embodiments, a plurality of strip-shaped blocks are arranged circumferentially on the lower blade disc, the strip-shaped blocks extend into the juice outlet hole, and a juice outlet gap is formed between the side wall of the strip-shaped block and the side wall of the juice outlet hole. A connecting plate is provided on the top of the strip-shaped block, and the plurality of connecting plates are connected to the annular component.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least two plug-in blocks are provided on one of the cover and the juicing body, and a plug-in groove is provided on the other for plugging into the plug-in blocks. Multiple annular grooves are provided at the bottom inside the juicing body.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a juicer is designed, including the juice cup assembly described above.

[0015] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: When it is necessary to juice the ingredients, they are placed in the juicing body. The juicing disc is driven down into the juicing body by the drive unit on the juicer to slowly squeeze the ingredients for juicing. At the same time, the juicing body is driven to rotate, causing the lower blade to rotate, so that the lower cutter cuts and crushes the ingredients at the bottom of the juicing body. As the juicing disc moves down and squeezes the ingredients, the ingredients are juiced. More juice is extracted during juicing, which can improve juicing efficiency. Compared with existing juicers, when juicing, the ingredients can be directly put into the juicing body and turned on, and the machine can automatically cut and crush the ingredients and extract juice. There is no need to pre-cut the ingredients into pieces separately. The juicing operation is simpler, more convenient, and the juice output is more. Attached Figure Description

The annular slider 22 and the annular groove 51 rotate together. In this embodiment, the outer side wall of the cover 5 is provided with an annular groove 51, and the inner side wall of the housing 2 is provided with an annular slider 22.

[0041] The specific way the cover 5 and the juicing body 3 are connected is as follows: two, three, four or more plug-in blocks 36 are provided on the circumference of one of them, and the other is provided with the same number of plug-in slots 52 as the number of plug-in blocks 36. The multiple plug-in blocks 36 and the multiple plug-in slots 52 are movably connected and engaged. In this embodiment, it is preferred that six plug-in slots 52 are distributed on the bottom circumference of the cover 5 and six plug-in blocks 36 are distributed on the top circumference of the juicing body 3.

[0042] The upper blade disc 8 is movably mounted inside the juicing disc 7. Multiple upper cutting blades 81 are distributed around the bottom circumference of the upper blade disc 8. The lower ends of the multiple upper cutting blades 81 extend through the through holes on the juicing disc 7 to the bottom of the juicing disc 7. Three, four or more second compression springs 82 are arranged around the upper circumference of the upper blade disc 8. The upper ends of the second compression springs 82 abut against the cover plate 71 connected to the upper part of the juicing disc 7, and the lower ends are placed in the spring grooves on the upper blade disc 8 and abut against the upper blade disc 8. The second compression springs 82 are in a compressed state. The cover plate 71 is rotated and snapped into the juicing disc 7, or threadedly connected, or the two are fixed together by screws. During juicing, when the upper cutter 81 is pushed upward, it can move the upper cutter disc 8 upward in conjunction with it. When the upper cutter disc 8 moves upward and comes into contact with the cover plate 71, the lower part of the upper cutter 81 moves upward into the through hole on the upper cutter disc 8. When the pushing force on the upper cutter 81 disappears, the upper cutter disc 8 is driven to move downward and reset under the elastic force of the second compression spring 82, and the lower end of the upper cutter 81 moves to below the juicing disc 7.

[0043] The bottom surface of the juicing disc 7 is parallel to the inner bottom surface of the juicing body 3. The angle α between the inner bottom surface of the juicing body 3 and the horizontal plane is 0-30°, that is, the angle is 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, or 30°. In this embodiment, the angle is preferably 10°. Multiple strip-shaped grooves 72 are radially distributed around the bottom surface of the juicing disc 7. The cross-section of the strip-shaped grooves 72 has a concave arc-shaped structure.

[0044] The first drive assembly 6 is installed inside the housing 2. When the housing 2 is connected to the juicing cup 1 and the cover 5 is connected to the juicing body 3 for vertical transmission, the first drive assembly 6 starts to drive the cover 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the juicing body 3 to rotate. Specifically, the first drive assembly 6 includes a first drive unit 61, a first drive gear 62 connected to the drive end of the first drive unit 61, and a first driven gear 63 set on the top of the cover 5. The first drive gear 62 meshes with the first driven gear 63. The first driven gear 63 is integrally formed with the cover 5 or fixed to the cover 5 by screws. The first drive unit 61 is a motor or a geared motor. When the first drive unit 61 drives the first drive gear 62 to rotate, the rotation of the first drive gear 62 drives the first driven gear 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the cover 5 to rotate. The rotation of the cover 5 drives the juicing body 3 to rotate, and the rotation of the juicing body 3 drives the lower blade 4 and the lower cutter 41 to rotate.

[0045] The second drive assembly 9 is installed inside the housing 2. After the housing 2 is connected to the juicing cup 1 and the cover 5 is connected to the juicing body 3 for vertical transmission, the second drive assembly 9 starts to drive the juicing disc 7 to rise or rotate between the inside of the cover 5 and the inside of the juicing body 3. When the second drive assembly 9 drives the juicing disc 7 to only rise and fall, the second drive assembly 9 is an electric push rod or electric cylinder, and its drive end is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, which is fixedly connected to the juicing disc 7. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the second drive assembly 9 drives the juicing disc 7 to rotate and rise. Specifically, the second drive assembly 9 drives the juicing disc 7 to rotate and rise. The moving assembly 9 includes a second drive unit 91, a second drive gear 92 connected to the drive end of the second drive unit 91, a sleeve 93 fixed inside the housing 2, a lead screw 94 threadedly engaged with the sleeve 93, an insert rod 95 movably inserted into an internal hole of the lead screw 94 and capable of driving the lead screw 94 to rotate and rise, and a second driven gear 96 fixed to the upper end of the insert rod 95 and meshing with the second drive gear 92. The lower end of the lead screw 94 is fixedly connected to the juicing disc 7. A connecting piece is welded to the upper part of the sleeve 93, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the housing 2 by screws. The insertion hole on the lead screw 94 has a cross-section that is semi-circular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal, etc. The lead screw 94 includes a smooth rod and a threaded part on the upper part of the smooth rod. The diameter of the threaded part is larger than the diameter of the smooth rod. The external thread on the threaded part is threaded with the internal thread on the sleeve 93. The cross-sectional shape of the insertion rod 95 matches the cross-sectional shape of the insertion hole on the lead screw 94. After the lower part of the insertion rod 95 is inserted into the insertion hole on the lead screw 94, it slides up and down with the insertion hole. When the second drive unit 91 drives the second drive gear 92 to rotate, the second drive gear 92 drives the second The driven gear 96 rotates, driving the insertion rod 95 to rotate. The rotation of the insertion rod 95 drives the lead screw 94 to rotate. Since the lead screw 94 is threadedly engaged with the sleeve 93, the lead screw 94 can rise or fall when rotating. The rotation of the lead screw 94, in turn, drives the juicing disc 7 to rise or fall. When the juicing disc 7 rotates and falls to extract juice, its rotation direction is opposite to that of the juicing body 3. In this embodiment, it is preferred that when the juicing disc 7 rotates and falls to extract juice, the juicing disc 7 rotates clockwise and the juicing body 3 rotates counterclockwise.

[0046] The first driven gear 63 is provided with a gear cover 64 that covers it and the upper part of the cover 5. The gear cover 64 is fixedly connected to the housing 2. The upper part of the gear cover 64 is provided with a clearance notch. The first driving gear 62 and the first driven gear 63 mesh at the clearance notch position.

[0047] When it is necessary to juice the ingredients, place the ingredients inside the juicing body 3, then connect the housing 2 to the juicing cup 1, and connect the cover 5 to the juicing body 3. The second drive component 9 starts to drive the juicing disc 7 to rotate and descend. At the same time, the first drive component 6 drives the juicing body 3 to rotate, causing the ingredients to rotate. When the upper cutter 81 on the upper blade 8 presses against the ingredients, the upper ingredients inside the juicing body 3 can be cut and crushed by the multiple upper cutter 81s. At the same time, the lower cutter 41s can cut and crush the ingredients at the bottom of the juicing body 3. The multiple upper cutter 81s and multiple lower cutter 41s work together to cut and crush the ingredients better. As the juicing disc 7 moves down and squeezes the ingredients, the ingredients are juiced. The juice passes through the juice outlet gap and enters the juicing cup 1. After juicing is finished, the second drive component 9 drives the juicing disc 7 to rotate in the opposite direction and descend to reset.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first drive unit 61 and the second drive unit 91 are electrically connected to a control circuit board, and the control circuit board is electrically connected to a start / stop switch for controlling the start and stop of the first drive unit 61 and the second drive unit 91.

[0049] In some embodiments, an upper limit unit and a lower limit unit are installed on the sleeve to limit the vertical movement distance of the lead screw and are electrically connected to the control circuit board. When the lead screw moves to its highest position, the upper limit unit is triggered and feeds back information to the control circuit board, which then controls the second drive unit to stop. When the lead screw moves to its lowest position, the lower limit unit is triggered and feeds back information to the control circuit board, which then controls the second drive unit to stop or reverse drive. The upper limit unit and the lower limit unit are micro switches, proximity switches, photoelectric switches, etc. The upper limit unit is installed on the top of the sleeve, and the sensing end of the lower limit unit extends into the sleeve through a through hole. The vertical movement of the threaded part on the lead screw can trigger the upper limit unit / lower limit unit.

[0050] 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.
