Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household food processor technology, and in particular to a two-in-one food processor. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of residents' quality of life, the popularity of small kitchen appliances has increased significantly. Household food processors (such as meat grinders and juicers) have become essential equipment for most families because they can simplify the food processing process.

[0003] However, existing household food processors have significant technical shortcomings, making them difficult to adapt to diverse household usage scenarios and convenience needs: Currently, most commercially available meat grinders and juicers are independent devices with clearly defined functional boundaries. Meat grinders are only equipped with a grinding blade assembly, a feeding chamber, and a discharge port, and can only grind ingredients, not juice fruits and vegetables. Juicers can only juice fruits and vegetables, not grind meat. If a family needs to satisfy both meat grinding and juicing needs, two separate devices must be purchased, significantly increasing the user's purchase cost. Furthermore, both devices require independent kitchen countertop and storage space (such as cabinets and storage units), which can lead to storage space constraints, especially for families with small kitchens, and greatly reduces the convenience of storing and organizing the devices. Household food processors (whether meat grinders or juicers) typically require various specialized accessories to suit different usage needs, such as material pushers, different sized blades or knives, and cleaning brushes. However, existing devices lack any dedicated storage space, requiring users to separate these accessories from the main unit and store them individually in kitchen drawers, general-purpose storage boxes, or storage bags after use. This decentralized storage method not only increases the user's storage steps but also makes accessories prone to loss or omission due to their small size, large number, and scattered storage locations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a two-in-one food processor.

[0005] A two-in-one food processor designed for this purpose includes a body and a motor, as well as a first food processing module, a second food processing module, a storage compartment, and a speed-changing module. The body is hollow inside and has a storage space with an opening on one side; the storage compartment is movable relative to the body and can be embedded into the storage space. The motor is located inside the body and is spaced apart from the storage space either horizontally or vertically. The transmission module is located above the storage space; The speed-changing module is driven by the motor; the second food processing module is fixedly connected to the machine body and driven by the speed-changing module. The first food processing module is fixedly connected to the machine body and is also connected to the speed transmission module or motor drive.

[0006] Preferably, the body is provided with a first connecting part and a second connecting part; The first food processing module is connected to the first connecting part; The second food processing module is connected to the second connecting part.

[0007] Preferably, the motor shaft of the motor extends into the first connecting portion, and the motor shaft of the motor is connected to the first food processing module in a transmission manner.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission module includes a first transmission element, a second transmission element, a third transmission element, a fourth transmission element, a fifth transmission element, a sixth transmission element, and a drive head that are connected in sequence. The first transmission element is fixed on the motor shaft of the motor; The drive head is connected to the second food processing module via a transmission.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing frame is provided in the storage space, and the fixing frame is set with an opening facing the opening of the storage space. The storage compartment is movable relative to the body and can be embedded into the fixed frame.

[0010] Preferably, the first food processing module includes a container detachably connected to the body, a blade is disposed inside the container, the blade is rotatably disposed relative to the container and is connected to a transmission coupler; The motor shaft of the motor is connected to a drive coupler; when the container is connected to the machine body, the transmission coupler is coupled to the drive coupler.

[0011] Preferably, the machine body is equipped with a sensor switch; when the container is connected to the machine body, a portion of the first food processing module comes into contact with the sensor switch.

[0012] Preferably, the second food processing module includes a food extrusion cylinder connected to the machine body, the food extrusion cylinder being connected to a feed cylinder, and an extrusion screw being rotatably disposed inside the food extrusion cylinder; the food extrusion cylinder has an opening on one side and is connected to a meat grinder disc; The extrusion screw is connected to the speed change module for transmission, and when the extrusion screw rotates, it can drive the food to move towards the meat grinder disc.

[0013] Preferably, the feed end of the feed cylinder is connected to a material tray.

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of the machine body is provided with heat dissipation holes that communicate with the interior of the machine body, and the motor shaft of the motor is connected to a heat dissipation fan.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this invention sets up a first food processing module and a second food processing module, and relies on a speed-changing module or motor to achieve transmission adaptation between different modules, which can simultaneously meet the processing needs of multiple ingredients such as meat grinder and juicer; users do not need to purchase two separate machines, a meat grinder and a juicer, which not only significantly reduces the purchase cost, but also avoids the problem of multiple machines occupying kitchen countertop operating space and cabinet storage space, especially suitable for families with small kitchen areas, greatly improving space utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, the open storage space inside the unit, combined with the movable, recessed storage compartment, provides a dedicated, centralized storage area for the food processor's accessories. After use, the accessories can be directly stored in the compartment and integrated into the storage space, eliminating the need to store them with other kitchen utensils in drawers or general storage boxes, effectively preventing loss or omission due to scattered storage.

[0016] Furthermore, the motor and storage space are arranged with left-right or front-back spacing, and the speed-changing module is located above the storage space. This layout makes the positions of the core components (motor, storage compartment, speed-changing module, and processing module) inside the machine more compact and orderly, which not only avoids mutual interference between components, but also maximizes the use of the internal space of the machine, making the overall size of the equipment smaller and further saving kitchen storage space. At the same time, the first and second food processing modules are fixedly connected to the machine body and are directly driven by the speed-changing module or motor. Users do not need to frequently disassemble and assemble modules when switching functions, which simplifies the operation process and improves the ease of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] See Figures 1-8 A two-in-one food processor includes a body 10 and a motor 50, and further includes a first food processing module 20, a second food processing module 30, a storage compartment 40, and a speed-changing module 60. The body 10 is hollow inside and has a storage space 130 with an opening on one side. The storage compartment 40 is movable relative to the body 10 and can be embedded in the storage space 130. The motor 50 is disposed inside the body 10 and is spaced apart from the storage space 130 either horizontally or vertically. The speed-changing module 60 is at least partially located above the storage space 130 and is drive-connected to the motor 50. The second food processing module 30 is fixedly connected to the body 10 and drive-connected to the speed-changing module 60. The first food processing module 20 is fixedly connected to the body 10 and drive-connected to either the speed-changing module 60 or the motor 50.

[0020] In this invention, the body 10 is hollow inside and has a storage space 130 with an opening on one side. The storage compartment 40 can move relative to the body 10 and be embedded in the storage space 130. When not in use, the user can place the equipment's special accessories (such as meat grinder, push rod, cleaning brush, etc.) in the storage compartment 40 and then push the storage compartment 40 into the storage space 130 to complete the storage. At the same time, the motor 50 and the storage space 130 are arranged at intervals of left and right or front and back, and the speed change module 60 is at least partially located above the storage space 130. This layout not only avoids interference between the storage compartment 40 and the motor 50 and the speed change module 60 when they are taken out or put in, but also reserves a reasonable path for the subsequent power transmission of the "motor synchronously drives the dual modules", ensuring that the structure is compact and the accessories are stored in an orderly manner when the equipment is stationary.

[0021] In this invention, after the motor 50 is started, it will output power synchronously through a preset transmission structure: on the one hand, the power is transmitted directly or through the speed change module 60 to the first food processing module 20 which is fixedly connected to the body 10; on the other hand, the power is transmitted synchronously through the speed change module 60 which is connected to the motor 50 to the second food processing module 30 which is also fixedly connected to the body 10; that is, when the motor 50 is started, the first and second food processing modules 20 / 30 will simultaneously obtain power and be ready to operate.

[0022] See Figure 5The body 10 is provided with a first connecting part 110 and a second connecting part 120; the first food processing module 20 is connected to the first connecting part 110; the second food processing module 30 is connected to the second connecting part 120. Specifically, the first connecting part 110 and the second connecting part 120 are connecting cavities, and the first food processing module 20 and the second food processing module 30 can be fixed to the corresponding connecting parts using existing connecting structures such as snap-fit, screw-fit, or bolt connection according to different installation needs.

[0023] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 When using the second food processing module 30 alone, the first food processing module 20 is disassembled and covered by the cover element 80 at the first connection portion 110.

[0024] See Figure 5 The motor shaft of the motor 50 extends into the first connecting portion 110, and the motor shaft of the motor 50 is connected to the first food processing module 20 in a transmission manner.

[0025] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission module 60 includes a first transmission element 600, a second transmission element 610, a third transmission element 620, a fourth transmission element 630, a fifth transmission element 640, a sixth transmission element 650, and a drive head 660, which are sequentially connected. The first transmission element 600 is fixed on the motor shaft of the motor 50. The drive head 660 is connected to the second food processing module 30. In this embodiment, the first transmission element 600 and the second transmission element 610 are preferably connected by a synchronous belt, or they can be connected by gear meshing according to different needs. The second transmission element 610 and the third transmission element 620 can be fixed on the same rotating shaft for transmission connection; the third transmission element 620 and the fourth transmission element 630 can be connected by gear meshing (i.e., both are gears); the fourth transmission element 630 and the fifth transmission element 640 can be fixed on the same rotating shaft for transmission connection; the fifth transmission element 640 and the sixth transmission element 650 are both bevel gears and mesh with each other; the sixth transmission element 650 is fixedly connected to the drive head 660. The drive head 660 can be coupled to the extrusion screw 440 of the second food processing module 30 via a plug-in coupling. In this embodiment, each transmission component can be integrated and mounted on the gearbox housing.

[0026] In this utility model, according to different speed change requirements, the transmission coupler 720 of the first food processing module 20 can be connected to the first transmission element 600, the second transmission element 610 or the third transmission element 620 for transmission connection.

[0027] See Figure 5A fixed frame 100 is provided within the storage space 130, with the fixed frame 100 opening towards the opening side of the storage space 130. The storage compartment 40 is movable relative to the body 10 and can be embedded into the fixed frame 100. The core function of this structure is to provide precise positioning and stable support for the storage compartment 40: on the one hand, the fixed frame 100 can limit the embedding path and position of the storage compartment 40, preventing it from getting stuck or colliding with internal components of the body 10 (such as the motor 50 and the transmission module 60) due to offset when pushed in, ensuring smooth loading and unloading of the storage compartment; on the other hand, after the storage compartment 40 is embedded in the fixed frame 100, the fixed frame can form a circumferential limit on the storage compartment, reducing the shaking of the storage compartment when the equipment is moved or used, preventing the accessories inside the compartment from colliding with the internal components of the body, and further organizing the internal structure of the storage space, making the accessories more orderly. See Figure 4 The first food processing module 20 includes a container 210 detachably connected to the body 10. A blade 220 is disposed inside the container 210. The blade 220 is rotatably disposed relative to the container 210 and is connected to a transmission coupler 720. The motor shaft of the motor 50 is connected to a drive coupler 710. When the container 210 is connected to the body 10, the transmission coupler 720 is coupled to the drive coupler 710. In the first food processing module 20, the detachable connection design between the container 210 and the body 10, combined with the coupling structure (magnetic coupling or plug-in coupling) of the transmission coupler 720 (connecting the blade 220) and the drive coupler 710 (connecting the motor shaft), has the following core functions: On the one hand, the detachable container makes it easy for users to clean the inside of the container and the blade 220, avoiding food residue and bacterial growth, and improving hygiene; on the other hand, when the container is connected to the body, the two couplers automatically couple (magnetic coupling relies on magnetic attraction for transmission, and plug-in coupling relies on mechanical insertion for positioning), which can quickly establish the power transmission path between the motor 50 and the blade 220, ensuring that the motor can stably drive the blade to rotate to process food after starting.

[0028] In this invention, the motor shaft of the motor 50 extends into the first connecting part 110, and the drive coupler 710 is disposed in the first connecting part 110 and fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the motor 50; the transmission coupler 720 is located at the bottom of the container 210, and when the container 210 is installed into the first connecting part 110, the transmission coupler 720 is coupled to the drive coupler 710.

[0029] In this invention, the body 10 is equipped with a sensor switch; when the container 210 is connected to the body 10, a portion of the first food processing module 20 contacts the sensor switch. The core function of this structure is to establish a "safe start protection" and "functional trigger linkage" mechanism; the first food processing module 20 can only obtain start-up permission when the container 210 is stably connected to the body 10 (or the lid 230 is closed) and the sensor switch is triggered. This avoids safety hazards such as food splashing or accidental contact of parts due to an unstable container or an open lid, while ensuring that power transmission only starts after the equipment is properly assembled, improving safety and stability. When contact with the container 210 triggers the switch, when the container 210 is installed on the body 10, the bottom of the container 210 presses against the sensing end of the sensor switch. When the cup lid 230 is in contact with the trigger, a trigger rod 240 that moves up and down relative to the cup 210 and a spring that provides an upward force to the trigger rod 240 are provided inside the cup 210. When the cup lid 230 is not closed, the trigger rod 240 is in the first position, and the cup 210 is installed on the body 10. At this time, the lower end of the trigger rod 240 is not in contact with the sensing end of the inductive switch. When the cup lid 230 is closed, the cup lid 230 presses the trigger rod 240 down to contact the sensing end of the inductive switch. The inductive switch can be an existing micro switch.

[0030] See Figure 4 The second food processing module 30 includes a food extrusion cylinder 410 connected to the body 10. The food extrusion cylinder 410 is connected to a feed cylinder 420. An extrusion screw 440 is rotatably disposed inside the food extrusion cylinder 410. An opening is provided on one side of the food extrusion cylinder 410 and connected to a meat grinder disc 450. The extrusion screw 440 is connected to the speed change module 60 for transmission. When the extrusion screw 440 rotates, it can drive the food to move towards the side of the meat grinder disc 450. In use, the user feeds the food into the feeding cylinder 420. After the food enters the food extrusion cylinder 410, the extrusion screw 440, which is connected to the transmission module 60, rotates. The spiral structure generates continuous thrust, steadily pushing the food towards the perforated cutter disc 450, preventing the food from accumulating or getting stuck in the cylinder. During the pushing process, the extrusion screw can fully extrude and shape the food, making the food fit tightly against the end face of the cutter disc. As the thrust continues to increase, the food is finally squeezed out from several perforations of the cutter disc. The diameter of the perforations determines the thickness of the output.

[0031] In this invention, the food extrusion cylinder 410 is connected to the machine body 10 using an existing connection method.

[0032] See Figure 4 The feed end of the feed cylinder 420 is connected to a material tray 430.

[0033] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer wall of the body 10 is provided with heat dissipation holes 140 that communicate with the interior of the body 10, and the motor shaft of the motor 50 is connected to a heat dissipation fan blade 500.
