Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material processing technology. Specifically, this utility model relates to a movable cover for a material processing device and a material processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Material processing devices can process materials and output the processed materials from the discharge port. Taking a fruit slicer as an example, fruit slicers are widely used in both home and commercial settings. Slicers typically use an open discharge port to directly convey sliced ​​fruit into a receiving cup.

[0003] However, if the slicing machine's discharge port remains open, when no fruit material is flowing out, external contaminants such as mosquitoes and dust can easily enter the slicing machine through the discharge port, causing contamination of the processing area inside the slicing machine. This not only affects food hygiene and safety but may also cause malfunctions in the slicing machine.

[0004] To solve this problem, some existing material processing devices use a fixed cover to be installed at the discharge port. However, when the material processing device switches between the working state and the shutdown state, the fixed cover needs to be manually removed and placed frequently by the user. This is not only cumbersome and affects the processing efficiency, but also may result in the discharge port being left open for a long time due to forgetting to install the fixed cover.

[0065] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0066] The material processing device of this utility model can be used for processing foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, grains, and snacks. The following description uses a lemon slicer as an example of a fruit processing device.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 18 This application provides a movable cover 100 for a lemon slicer, the movable cover 100 comprising:

[0068] The annular base 1 has a first port 11 for detachable connection to the discharge port of the lemon slicer;

[0069] The cover 2 includes a connecting part 21, a flipping part 22, and a counterweight part 23. The connecting part 21 is rotatably connected to the annular base 1. The flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23 are disposed on both sides of the connecting part 21. The flipping part 22 can close or open the second port 12 of the annular base 1.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the annular base 1 serves as the basic support structure for the movable cover 100, providing a connection interface between the movable cover 100 and the outlet of the lemon slicer. By detachably connecting the first port 11 to the outlet, such as through snap-fit, threaded, or magnetic connections, the movable cover 100 can be quickly assembled and disassembled with the outlet, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the movable cover 100. Simultaneously, the annular base 1, with its annular structure, can adapt to the shape of the outlet, ensuring a tight fit. Furthermore, the simultaneous opening and closing of the cover 2 to the second port 12 allows for the synchronous opening and closing of the movable cover 100 with respect to the lemon slicer's discharge; that is, the cover 2 is open when discharging and closed when not discharging.

[0071] See Figures 1 to 3 The cover 2 can automatically close or open the discharge port, avoiding the problem of frequent manual opening and closing of the cover, and improving the ease of use of the movable cover 100 and the processing efficiency of materials. Specifically, the connecting part 21 of the cover 2 serves as the pivot connection point between the cover 2 and the annular base 1, allowing the cover 2 to freely rotate around the connecting part 21. This provides rotational freedom for the automatic opening and closing of the second port 12 of the annular base 1 by the flipping part 22, ensuring the flexibility of the opening and closing action of the flipping part 22.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the connecting part 21, the flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23 can be integrally formed to obtain the cover body 2, so as to improve the overall structural strength of the cover body 2; or the connecting part 21, the flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23 can be assembled and combined to form the cover body 2, which can also ensure the flexibility and stability of the second port 12 of the annular base 1 when the flipping part 22 closes or opens, through the seesaw-like structure formed by the flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23.

[0073] During the flipping process of the cover 2 around the connecting part 21, the flipping part 22 can directly control the opening and closing of the second port 12. Inside the lemon slicer, the lemon is sliced ​​by the slicing mechanism, and then the sliced ​​lemon is squeezed by the extrusion mechanism. After the sliced ​​lemon slices and the squeezed lemon juice are discharged through the outlet, the flipping part 22 is pressed down to automatically open, so that the lemon slices and lemon juice can fall into the cup below the outlet. When there is no material flowing out of the outlet, the flipping part 22 is reset under the action of the counterweight 23, so as to realize the function of automatically closing the second port 12 of the annular base 1, that is, it can close the outlet of the lemon slicer. On the one hand, it can prevent external contaminants from entering the lemon slicer through the outlet, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the internal processing area of ​​the lemon slicer. On the other hand, it does not require manual intervention, avoiding the problem of the outlet being open for a long time due to forgetting to operate, or the cumbersome problem of having to remove the outlet fixing cover before each operation.

[0074] In the above embodiments, the number of cover bodies 2 can be one, that is, the purpose of closing or opening the second port 12 of the annular base 1 can be achieved by using only one flipping cover body, which simplifies the structure of the movable cover 100; the movable cover 100 can also include two, three or more cover bodies 2, and multiple synchronously flipping cover bodies 2 can also achieve the closing or opening of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, thereby realizing flexible control of automatic closing and automatic opening of the discharge port.

[0075] The movable cover 100 provided in this application embodiment includes an annular base 1, the first port 11 of the annular base 1 being detachably connected to the discharge port of the lemon slicer; and a cover body 2, which includes a connecting part 21, a flipping part 22, and a counterweight part 23. The connecting part 21 is rotatably connected to the annular base 1, and the flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23 are disposed on both sides of the connecting part 21. The flipping part 22 can automatically close or open the second port 12 of the annular base 1, thereby automatically closing or opening the discharge port of the lemon slicer, preventing external insects, dust, and other pollutants from entering the lemon slicer through the discharge port, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the processing area inside the lemon slicer, and improving the efficiency of slicing processing.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cover 2 includes a first flip cover 201 and a second flip cover 202, and the outer periphery of the annular base 1 has a first mounting part 13 and a second mounting part 14.

[0077] The first flip cover 201 includes a first connecting part 2011, a first flipping part 2012, and a first counterweight part 2013. The second flip cover 202 includes a second connecting part 2021, a second flipping part 2022, and a second counterweight part 2023. The first connecting part 2011 is rotatably connected to the first mounting part 13. The first flipping part 2012 and the first counterweight part 2013 are disposed on both sides of the first connecting part 2011. The second connecting part 2021 is rotatably connected to the second mounting part 14. The second flipping part 2022 and the second counterweight part 2023 are disposed on both sides of the second connecting part 2021.

[0078] The first flipping part 2012 and the second flipping part 2022 cooperate to close or open the second port 12 of the annular base 1.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the cover 2 achieves the closing or opening control of the second port 12 through the double flip-cover structure, which can reduce the opening resistance of a single flip-cover and improve the opening and closing sensitivity.

[0080] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first flip cover 201, through the structural combination of the first connecting part 2011, the first flipping part 2012 and the first counterweight part 2013, realizes the partial closure or opening of the second port 12 by the first flipping part 2012. At the same time, the second flip cover 202, through the structural combination of the second connecting part 2021, the second flipping part 2022 and the second counterweight part 2023, realizes the partial closure or opening of the second port 12 by the second flipping part 2022. The first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 cooperate to form a complete closed surface, ensuring the effectiveness of the closure or opening of the second port 12.

[0081] See Figure 4 The first mounting portion 13 of the annular base 1 provides a rotatable support point for the first flip cover 201. Through the rotatable engagement between the first mounting portion 13 and the first connecting portion 2011, the first flip cover 201 can rotate freely around the first mounting portion 13, thereby achieving precise control of the opening and closing of the first flip portion 2012. Simultaneously, the second mounting portion 14 of the annular base 1 provides a rotatable support point for the second flip cover 202. Through the rotatable engagement between the second mounting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 2021, the second flip cover 202 can rotate freely around the second mounting portion 14, thereby achieving precise control of the opening and closing of the second flip portion 2022.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first connecting part 2011 can be rotatably connected to the first shaft hole of the first mounting part 13 via a first rotating shaft, and the second connecting part 2021 can be rotatably connected to the second shaft hole of the second mounting part 14 via a second rotating shaft. Through the relative cooperation of the first flipping part 2012 and the second flipping part 2022, the second port 12 can be automatically closed or opened. When the first flipping part 2012 and the second flipping part 2022 close the second port 12, the second port 12 closes the discharge port of the lemon slicer; when the first flipping part 2012 and the second flipping part 2022 open the second port 12, the processed material can be smoothly discharged through the discharge port.

[0083] In some embodiments, the cover 2 may include three, four or more flip covers, and the multiple flip covers may have the same structure to improve the flexibility of closing or opening the second port 12.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first flipping part 2012 includes a first sector area 20121 and a second sector area 20122 that are connected to each other.

[0085] In the direction from the edge to the center of the corresponding annular base 1, both the first sector region 20121 and the second sector region 20122 gradually move away from the annular base 1; and / or,

[0086] The second flipping section 2022 includes a third sector area 20221 and a fourth sector area 20222 that are connected to each other;

[0087] In the direction from the edge to the center of the corresponding annular base 1, both the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 gradually move away from the annular base 1.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the fan-shaped structure enables the first flipping part 2012 to form a larger material passage channel when opened, reducing material flow resistance; moreover, the first fan-shaped area 20121 and the second fan-shaped area 20122 gradually move away from the base along the edge to the center of the annular base 1, forming a material flow surface that is inclined from the edge to the center on the first flipping part 2012, which makes it easier for the material to push the first flipping part 2012 open and fall from the center of the flipping part 22. On the one hand, this ensures the efficiency of lemon slices flowing out into the cup and avoids them falling onto the cup wall or outside the cup. On the other hand, it makes it easier for lemon juice to flow out along the inclined material flow surface, reducing residue in the lid 2.

[0089] Simultaneously, when the first flipping section 2012 closes at least part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the arcuate edges of the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 can fit more closely with the edge of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, improving sealing and preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the slicing processing device. Furthermore, the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 can form symmetrical sector partitions, balancing the torque during the flipping process.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the fan-shaped structure enables the second flip section 2022 to form a larger material passage channel when opened, reducing material flow resistance; moreover, the third fan-shaped area 20221 and the fourth fan-shaped area 20222 gradually move away from the base along the edge to the center of the annular base 1, forming a material flow surface that slopes from the edge to the center on the second flip section 2022. The fan-shaped structure of the second flip section 2022 cooperates with the first flip section 2012, making it easier for material to push the second flip section 2022 open and fall from the center of the flip section 22. On the one hand, this ensures the efficiency of lemon slices flowing into the cup and avoids them falling onto the cup wall or outside the cup. On the other hand, it facilitates the flow of lemon juice along the inclined material flow surface, reducing residue in the lid 2.

[0091] Simultaneously, when the second flipping section 2022 closes at least part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the arcuate edges of the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 can fit more closely with the edge of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, improving sealing and preventing contaminants from entering the interior of the slicing processing device. Furthermore, the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 can form symmetrical sector partitions, balancing the torque during the flipping process.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first flipping portion 2012 includes a first connecting plate 20124 (see...) Figure 5 When the first flip portion 2012 closes at least part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the first connecting plate 20124 stops at the outer periphery of the annular base 1 to prevent lemon juice from splashing out of the lid 2. The second flip portion 2022 includes a second connecting plate. When the second flip portion 2022 closes the remaining part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the second connecting plate stops at the outer periphery of the annular base 1. The second connecting plate and the first connecting plate 20124 surround the outer periphery of the annular base 1 to prevent lemon juice from leaking out of the lid 2 from between the lid 2 and the annular base 1.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the first flipping portion 2012 closes at least part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the angle of inclination between the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 and the plane containing the annular base 1 does not exceed 45°; and / or,

[0094] When the second flipping part 2022 closes at least part of the second port 12 of the annular base 1, the angle of inclination between the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 and the plane where the annular base 1 is located does not exceed 45°.

[0095] In the above embodiments, the inclined arrangement of the first sector area 20121 and the second sector area 20122 makes it easier for the first flipping part 2012 to flip outward under the action of material gravity, reducing the frictional resistance between the material and the first flipping part 2012, reducing noise and improving material throughput efficiency. The inclined arrangement of the third sector area 20221 and the fourth sector area 20222 makes it easier for the second flipping part 2022 to flip outward under the action of material gravity, reducing the frictional resistance between the material and the second flipping part 2022, reducing noise and improving material throughput efficiency.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 are inclined at relatively large angles, for example, the angle between the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 and the plane where the annular base 1 is located is 20°, 30°, 35° or 43°; and the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 are inclined at relatively large angles, for example, the angle between the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 and the plane where the annular base 1 is located is 20°, 30°, 35° or 43°, which can improve the efficiency of the material pushing the first flipping part 2012 and the second flipping part 2022 outward under the action of gravity.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figures 13 to 18 The first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 are tilted at relatively small angles, for example, the angle between the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 and the plane where the annular base 1 is located is 2°, 5°, 10°, 13° or 18°; and the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 are tilted at relatively small angles, for example, the angle between the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 and the plane where the annular base 1 is located is 2°, 5°, 10°, 13° or 18°, which can facilitate the closure of the second port 12 of the annular base 1 and ensure the sealing effect of the outlet of the lemon slicer.

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122 are both plate-shaped, which simplifies the structure and molding process of the first sector 20121 and the second sector 20122; and / or,

[0099] Both the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222 are plate-shaped, which simplifies the structure and molding process of the third sector 20221 and the fourth sector 20222.

[0100] In the above embodiment, when the first sector area 20121 and the second sector area 20122 of the plate structure are closed, the inclined sector plane makes the first sector area 20121 and the second sector area 20122 more easily driven to flip by the gravity of the material when opening, and when closed, they fit more closely to the edge of the annular base 1, thus achieving a balance between the opening and closing sensitivity and sealing performance of the first flipping part 2012.

[0101] When the plate-shaped third sector 20221 and fourth sector 20222 are closed, the inclined sector plane makes it easier for the third sector 20221 and fourth sector 20222 to be driven to flip by the gravity of the material when they are opened, and when they are closed, they fit more closely to the edge of the annular base 1, thus achieving a balance between the opening and closing sensitivity and sealing performance of the second flipping part 2022.

[0102] Furthermore, a first flow guide channel can be formed between the first sector area 20121 and the second sector area 20122, and a second flow guide channel can be formed between the third sector area 20221 and the fourth sector area 20222. The flow guiding effect of the first and second flow guide channels allows the material to pass through more concentratedly during the opening stage, reducing the residue of liquid or fine particulate materials. Moreover, the first flow guide channel can buffer the falling lemon slices and lemon juice, preventing lemon slices from falling into the cup too quickly and splashing juice, and also preventing the lid from automatically flipping open more than 90 degrees due to the falling lemon slices.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figures 7 to 12 The first sector area 20121 includes a first inclined surface 201211 and a second inclined surface 201212, and the first inclined surface 201211 and the second inclined surface 201212 have different inclination angles relative to the plane where the annular base 1 is located.

[0104] The second sector area 20122 includes a third inclined surface 201221 and a fourth inclined surface 201222. The third inclined surface 201221 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 have different inclination angles relative to the plane where the annular base 1 is located, and the second inclined surface 201212 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 form a first guide groove 20123 facing the center of the cover 2.

[0105] In the above embodiments, see Figure 12The combination of the first inclined surface 201211 and the second inclined surface 201212 can balance the opening and closing flexibility of the first sector area 20121 with the material flow efficiency, and the combination of the third inclined surface 201221 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 can balance the opening and closing flexibility of the second sector area 20122 with the material flow efficiency.

[0106] In one embodiment, the first inclined surface 201211 has a larger inclination angle (e.g., 30°), which makes it easier to open quickly when material presses down on the first inclined surface 201211, reducing flow resistance; the second inclined surface 201212 has a smaller inclination angle (e.g., 5°), which makes it easier to form a seal on the second port 12 when the first sector 20121 closes. Similarly, the third inclined surface 201221 has a larger inclination angle (e.g., 30°), which makes it easier to open quickly when material presses down on the third inclined surface 201221, reducing flow resistance; the fourth inclined surface 201222 has a smaller inclination angle (e.g., 5°), which makes it easier to form a seal on the second port 12 when the second sector 20122 closes. In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The first inclined surface 201211 and the second inclined surface 201212 are connected by the first buffer groove 20125, that is, the first inclined surface 201211 and the second inclined surface 201212 are transitionally connected by the first buffer groove 20125; the third inclined surface 201221 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 are connected by the second buffer groove 20126, that is, the third inclined surface 201221 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 are transitionally connected by the second buffer groove 20126, which plays a buffering role in the angle change, so that the water flow formed by lemon juice can flow along the first buffer groove 20125 and the second buffer groove 20126 to the opening and closing part of the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202, so that the lemon juice can flow out from the cover.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the second inclined surface 201212 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 form a first guide channel 20123 facing the center of the cover 2. The second inclined surface 201212, the first guide channel 20123 and the fourth inclined surface 201222 form a V-shape. The guiding effect of the first guide channel 20123 makes the material pass through more concentratedly during the opening stage, reducing the residue of liquid or fine particulate material. The first guide channel 20123 can also buffer the falling of lemon slices and lemon juice, preventing lemon slices from falling into the cup too quickly and splashing juice.

[0108] A first limiting post 20111 is provided on the first connecting part 2011. When the first flip cover 201 flips outward at too large an angle, the first limiting post 20111 abuts against the outer wall of the annular base 1, which can prevent the lemon slice from falling and causing the first flip cover 201 to flip outward more than 90 degrees.

[0109] In another embodiment, the tilt angle of the second tilting surface 201212 is greater than that of the first tilting surface 201211. Since the second tilting surface 201212 is closer to the center of the flipping part 22, the larger tilt angle of the second tilting surface 201212 makes it easier to open quickly when the material presses down on the second tilting surface 201212, thus reducing flow resistance.

[0110] The tilt angle of the fourth tilting surface 201222 is greater than that of the third tilting surface 201221. Since the fourth tilting surface 201222 is closer to the center of the flipping part 22, the larger tilt angle of the fourth tilting surface 201222 makes it easier to open quickly when the material presses down on the fourth tilting surface 201222, thus reducing flow resistance.

[0111] In some embodiments, the third sector region 20221 includes a fifth inclined surface 202211 and a sixth inclined surface 202212, and the fifth inclined surface 202211 and the sixth inclined surface 202212 have different inclination angles relative to the plane where the annular base 1 is located.

[0112] The fourth sector 20222 includes a seventh inclined surface 202221 and an eighth inclined surface 202222. The seventh inclined surface 202221 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 have different inclination angles relative to the plane of the annular base 1. The sixth inclined surface 202212 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 form a second guide channel 20223 facing the center of the cover 2.

[0113] In the above embodiments, see Figure 12 The combination of the fifth inclined surface 202211 and the sixth inclined surface 202212 can balance the opening and closing flexibility of the third sector 20221 with the material flow efficiency. The combination of the seventh inclined surface 202221 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 can balance the opening and closing flexibility of the fourth sector 20222 with the material flow efficiency.

[0114] In one embodiment, the fifth inclined surface 202211 adopts a larger inclination angle (e.g., 30°), which makes it easier to open quickly when material presses down on the fifth inclined surface 202211, reducing flow resistance; the sixth inclined surface 202212 adopts a smaller inclination angle (e.g., 5°), which makes it easier to form a seal on the second port 12 when the third sector 20221 closes. Similarly, the seventh inclined surface 202221 adopts a larger inclination angle (e.g., 30°), which makes it easier to open quickly when material presses down on the seventh inclined surface 202221, reducing flow resistance; the eighth inclined surface 202222 adopts a smaller inclination angle (e.g., 5°), which makes it easier to form a seal on the second port 12 when the fourth sector 20222 closes.

[0115] In some embodiments, see Figure 12The fifth inclined surface 202211 and the sixth inclined surface 202212 are connected by the third buffer groove 20225, which means that the fifth inclined surface 202211 and the sixth inclined surface are transitionally connected by the third buffer groove 20225; the seventh inclined surface 202221 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 are connected by the fourth buffer groove 20226, which means that the seventh inclined surface 202221 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 are transitionally connected by the fourth buffer groove 20226, which plays a buffering role in the angle change, so that the water flow formed by lemon juice can flow along the third buffer groove 20225 and the fourth buffer groove 20226 to the opening and closing part of the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202, so that the lemon juice can flow out from the cover.

[0116] In the above embodiment, the sixth inclined surface 202212 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 form a second guide channel 20223 facing the center of the cover 2. The sixth inclined surface 202212, the second guide channel 20223 and the eighth inclined surface 202222 form a V-shape. The guide channel 20223 guides the material to pass through more concentratedly during the opening stage, reducing the residue of liquid or fine particulate material. The second guide channel 20223 can buffer the falling lemon slices and lemon juice, preventing lemon slices from falling into the cup too quickly and splashing juice.

[0117] The second connecting part 2021 is provided with a second limiting post 20211. When the second flip cover 202 flips outward at too large an angle, the second limiting post 20211 abuts against the outer wall of the annular base 1, which can prevent the lemon slice from falling and causing the second flip cover 202 to flip outward more than 90 degrees.

[0118] In another embodiment, the tilt angle of the sixth tilting surface 202212 is greater than that of the fifth tilting surface 202211. Since the sixth tilting surface 202212 is closer to the center of the flipping part 22, the larger tilt angle of the sixth tilting surface 202212 makes it easier to open quickly when the material presses down on the sixth tilting surface 202212, thus reducing flow resistance.

[0119] The tilt angle of the eighth inclined surface 202222 is greater than that of the seventh inclined surface 202221. Since the eighth inclined surface 202222 is closer to the center of the flipping part 22, the larger tilt angle of the eighth inclined surface 202222 makes it easier to open quickly when the material presses down on the eighth inclined surface 202222, thus reducing flow resistance.

[0120] In some embodiments, the flip angle of the first flip cover 201 ranges from 0° to 90°. Since a first limiting post 20111 is provided on the first connecting portion 2011, when the first flip cover 201 flips outward at an excessive angle, the first limiting post 20111 abuts against the outer wall of the annular base 1, preventing the lemon slice from falling and causing the first flip cover 201 to flip outward more than 90 degrees. Similarly, the flip angle of the second flip cover 202 ranges from 0° to 90°.

[0121] In the above embodiment, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 will automatically flip outward by 0°-90° under the gravity of the lemon slice and lemon juice, so that the lemon juice can flow out from between the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202. However, it is worth noting that the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 can reach a flip angle range of more than 90° when a force is applied manually.

[0122] Furthermore, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 will automatically flip outward by 20°-60° under the gravity of the lemon slices and lemon juice. For example, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 will automatically flip outward by 30° or 45° under the gravity of the lemon slices and lemon juice, ensuring that the large lemon slices will not be stuck when they fall down automatically.

[0123] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 are symmetrically connected to the annular base 1.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 are symmetrically arranged, so that the weight distribution of the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 is uniform, and the torque generated when flipping cancels each other out, reducing the vibration of the annular base 1 and improving the stability of equipment operation; at the same time, the symmetrical structure ensures that the two flip covers open synchronously when the material is pressed down and close synchronously when reset, avoiding material leakage or sealing failure caused by inconsistent actions, and improving the reliability of the outlet seal.

[0125] In another embodiment, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 are staggered when closed. For example, the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 202 are arranged in any shape such as comb teeth or wavy edges, which can also ensure the effect of closing the second port 12 of the annular base 1 by the flip part 22.

[0126] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The counterweight 23 includes a counterweight body 231 and a counterweight block 232. The counterweight body 231 has a counterweight cavity, and at least a portion of the counterweight block 232 is embedded in the counterweight cavity.

[0127] In the above embodiments, the counterweight cavity of the counterweight body 231 facilitates the adjustment of the embedding position or weight of the counterweight block 232. Users can flexibly adjust the counterweight according to the material type to ensure that the flipping part 22 has sufficient torque when closing, and avoid closure failure due to insufficient counterweight. Moreover, the counterweight cavity provides precise positioning for the counterweight block 232, ensuring that the counterweight block 232 will not loosen when the flipping part 22 moves, and maintaining the stability of the counterweight effect.

[0128] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner side of the annular base 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 15, which is used to abut against the discharge port of the lemon slicer; or,

[0129] A magnetic component is provided on the annular base 1, which is used to magnetically engage with the discharge port of the lemon slicer.

[0130] In one embodiment, the inner side of the annular base 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 15. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 15 abuts against the edge of the discharge port or the groove by means of elastic deformation or interference fit. The user can quickly complete the installation or removal of the movable cover 100 without tools. Moreover, the mechanical snap-fit ​​structure can provide a stable holding force to prevent the annular base 1 from falling off due to vibration or external force during processing.

[0131] In another embodiment, a magnetic component is provided on the annular base 1. The user only needs to bring the annular base 1 close to the discharge port, and the magnetic component will automatically attract and fix the movable cover 100 to the discharge port. The magnetic attraction avoids frictional wear from mechanical clamping, extending the service life of the annular base 1 and reducing connection loosening issues caused by long-term use. Furthermore, the attractive force of the magnetic component helps the annular base 1 to accurately align with the discharge port, reducing installation difficulty and improving the user experience.

[0132] See Figure 19 This application provides a lemon slicer, which includes a discharge port 200 and the aforementioned movable cover 100.

[0133] The first port 11 of the annular base 1 of the movable cover 100 is detachably connected to the discharge port 200.

[0134] In the above embodiment, the movable cover 100 of the lemon slicer includes an annular base 1, the first port 11 of the annular base 1 being detachably connected to the discharge port of the lemon slicer; and a cover body 2, which includes a connecting part 21, a flipping part 22, and a counterweight part 23. The connecting part 21 is rotatably connected to the annular base 1, the flipping part 22 and the counterweight part 23 are disposed on both sides of the connecting part 21, and the flipping part 22 can automatically close or open the second port 12 of the annular base 1, thereby automatically closing or opening the discharge port of the lemon slicer, preventing external insects, dust and other pollutants from entering the interior of the lemon slicer through the discharge port, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the processing area inside the lemon slicer, and improving the efficiency of slicing processing.
