Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the food processing industry, whether it's daily home cooking, bulk meal preparation in the catering industry, or standardized production in food processing plants, efficient and uniform dicing of ingredients is a high-frequency and crucial operation. Traditional manual dicing not only relies on the experience and skills of the operators, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of diced size, but also suffers from low efficiency and high labor intensity. Especially when faced with the need to process large quantities of ingredients, manual operation can no longer meet the pace of modern production and life.

[0003] To address the pain points of manual dicing, various food dicing devices have emerged. Among them, dicing devices that can be used with food processors have become the mainstream choice for home and small catering settings due to their advantages such as small size, strong adaptability, and convenient operation. Currently, there are several technical solutions for such dicing devices on the market. For example, the "New Food Dicing Machine" disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Document (Announcement No.: CN203077359U) integrates the dicing device into the motor structure of the food processor, using the power of the food processor to achieve the dicing operation, which improves the dicing efficiency to a certain extent. Its core structure includes a container that can be mounted on the food processor, a container lid, and a dicing device and transmission rod set inside the container.

[0004] Specifically, the dicing device in the aforementioned prior art consists of a fixed tray, a movable turntable, and a speed-changing gearbox. The fixed tray serves as the supporting base for cutting the food, and it is equipped with a grid blade to ultimately dice the food. The movable turntable is equipped with cutting blades, which, in conjunction with the fixed tray, perform the initial cutting and subsequent dicing actions. The speed-changing gearbox is connected to a transmission rod and, driven by the food processor motor, rotates the movable turntable, providing power for the cutting process. To ensure the stability of the movable turntable during rotation and prevent wobbling from affecting dicing accuracy or causing equipment malfunction, this prior art incorporates multiple rotatable locking plates around the perimeter of the fixed tray. These plates engage with the movable turntable, thus limiting and fixing its position.

[0005] However, this structural design, which relies on multiple snap-fit ​​plates for fixation, has obvious technical drawbacks: the snap-fit ​​plates increase the number of parts for fixing the tray and even the entire dicing device, making the structure more complex. This not only increases the difficulty and cost of parts processing but also prolongs the assembly process and time, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] 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 dicing food processor.

[0007] A dicing food processor designed for this purpose includes a food preparation cup, a cutting disc, a mesh cutter, a cutting blade, a lid, and a drive shaft. The food preparation cup has an opening on its upper side. The cutting disc is inserted into the food preparation cup from top to bottom. The food preparation cup has a first insertion part, and the cutting disc has a second insertion part. The first insertion part and the second insertion part are inserted and engaged vertically to constrain the rotation of the cutting disc relative to the food preparation cup. A first limiting part is provided inside the food preparation cup, abutting against the lower surface of the cutting disc to constrain its downward movement. The cutting disc has a vertically penetrating material inlet, and the mesh cutter is disposed within the material inlet. The cutting disc has a shaft hole, through which either the cutting blade or the drive shaft passes and is connected to the other. The cutting blade is disposed inside the food preparation cup above the cutting disc and at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutting disc. The lid is detachably connected to the food preparation cup and has a second limiting part abutting against the upper surface of the cutting disc. The lid at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutting blade.

[0008] Preferably, the cutting blade includes a drive shaft sleeve and a cutting blade fixedly connected to the drive shaft sleeve; the cup lid at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the drive shaft sleeve; the drive shaft sleeve at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutter disc; and the drive shaft sleeve is drivenly connected to the drive shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the cup lid above the blade mesh is provided with a vertically penetrating feeding channel, and a pusher rod is movably inserted into the feeding channel.

[0010] Preferably, the blade mesh is inserted and assembled into the material inlet from top to bottom, and the blade disc is provided with a third limiting part that fits against the lower surface of the blade mesh.

[0011] Preferably, the drive shaft includes a first shaft body, a first coupling drive head, a second shaft body, a second coupling drive head, and a positioning shaft; the first shaft body is rotatably disposed relative to the food preparation cup; the first coupling drive head is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the first shaft body; the second shaft body is provided with a first coupling hole with an opening on its lower side, and the first coupling drive head can be inserted into the first coupling hole from bottom to top; the second coupling drive head is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the second shaft body and is inserted and coupled with the drive shaft sleeve; the positioning shaft is fixedly connected to the second shaft body and extends upward; the cup lid is provided with a bushing, and the positioning shaft is at least partially inserted into the bushing.

[0012] Preferably, the drive shaft sleeve is movably inserted into the shaft hole; the second coupling drive head and the positioning shaft are both inserted into the drive shaft sleeve; the positioning shaft is located inside the second coupling drive head and extends upward relative to the second coupling drive head.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention effectively solves the problems of complex structure, cumbersome assembly, and high cost caused by relying on snap-fit ​​plates in existing technologies by optimizing the core structural design. Specifically, the beneficial effects are: the precise constraint of the blade's rotation through the interlocking of the first and second insertion parts prevents the blade from shifting during cutting, thus affecting the cutting accuracy; moreover, the first limiting part abuts against the lower surface of the blade, and the second limiting part and at least the part being cut abut against the upper surface of the blade, forming a bidirectional limiting of the blade in the vertical direction. Simultaneously, at least a portion of the cup lid abuts against the upper surface of the cutting blade, further restricting the vertical movement of the cutting blade. This invention significantly reduces the number of parts and simplifies the overall structure. This not only reduces the difficulty and cost of parts processing but also shortens the equipment assembly process and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] See Figures 1-3A dicing food processor includes a food processor cup 10, a cutting disc 20, a wire mesh 30, a cutting blade 40, a lid 50, and a drive shaft 60. The food processor cup 10 has an opening on its upper side. The cutting disc 20 is inserted into the food processor cup 10 from top to bottom. The food processor cup 10 is provided with a first insertion part 110, and the cutting disc 20 is provided with a second insertion part 210. The first insertion part 110 and the second insertion part 210 are inserted and engaged in the vertical direction to constrain the cutting disc 20 to rotate relative to the food processor cup 10. A first limiting part 120 is provided inside the food processor cup 10 to abut against the lower surface of the cutting disc 20 to constrain the downward movement of the cutting disc 20. The blade disc 20 is provided with a material inlet 200 that runs vertically through it, and the blade mesh 30 is disposed within the material inlet 200; the blade disc 20 is provided with a shaft hole 220, and one of the cutting blade 40 or the drive shaft 60 passes through the shaft hole 220 and is connected to the other in a drive connection; the cutting blade 40 is disposed within the cooking cup 10 above the blade disc 20 and at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the blade disc 20; the cup lid 50 is detachably connected to the cooking cup 10 and the cup lid 50 is provided with a second limiting part 510 that abuts against the upper surface of the blade disc 20; the cup lid 50 at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutting blade 40.

[0019] This food dicing processor uses precise coordination of its components to dice ingredients according to the logic of "first assembly and positioning, then power transmission, and finally step-by-step cutting." The specific operating principle is as follows:

[0020] Before the equipment is put into use, the assembly and positioning of each core component must be completed: First, the blade mesh 30 is installed into the upper and lower through material inlet 200 of the blade disc 20 to ensure that the blade mesh is stable and that its mesh structure can meet the target dicing size requirements; then, the blade disc 20 is inserted into the blending cup 10 from top to bottom. At this time, the first insertion part 110 of the blending cup 10 and the second insertion part 210 of the blade disc 20 are precisely aligned in the vertical direction. The insertion fit directly constrains the rotation of the blade disc 20 relative to the blending cup 10, preventing the blade disc from shifting during the cutting process; at the same time, the first limiting part 120 inside the blending cup 10 abuts against the lower surface of the blade disc 20, restricting the downward movement of the blade disc 20, and initially completing the longitudinal positioning of the blade disc.

[0021] Next, the power unit and the cutting unit are connected to further strengthen the positional constraint of the blade disc: the cutting blade 40 is placed inside the cooking cup 10 above the blade disc 20, so that the cutting blade 40 at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the blade disc 20; this abutment design not only provides a stable base for subsequent cutting actions, but more importantly, through the pressure of the cutting blade against the upper surface of the blade disc, it further constrains the vertical position of the blade disc 20, forming a preliminary bidirectional constraint with the lower first limiting part 120, reducing the space for movement of the blade disc during subsequent assembly and operation; then the drive shaft 60 (or The cutting blade 40 passes through the shaft hole 220 of the blade disc 20, realizing the transmission connection between the cutting blade 40 and the drive shaft 60, and providing power support for the cutting blade; finally, the cup lid 50 is detachably connected to the cooking cup 10. The second limiting part 510 of the cup lid 50 abuts against the upper surface of the blade disc 20. On the basis of the initial limiting of the cutting blade, the constraint on the upward movement of the blade disc 20 is further strengthened. At the same time, the cup lid 50 at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutting blade 40, restricting the cutting blade from moving up and down. Finally, the blade disc and the cutting blade are positioned in all directions to ensure the stability of each component during operation.

[0022] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cutting blade 40 includes a drive shaft sleeve 410 and a cutting blade 420 fixedly connected to the drive shaft sleeve 410; the cup lid 50 at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the drive shaft sleeve 410; the drive shaft sleeve 410 at least partially abuts against the upper surface of the cutter disc 20; the drive shaft sleeve 410 is drive-connected to the drive shaft 60. The drive shaft sleeve 410 of the cutting blade 40 has both limiting and transmission functions: on the one hand, it abuts against the upper surface of the cutter disc 20 and the cup lid 50 respectively, which can further constrain the vertical movement of the cutter disc 20, while limiting its own vertical displacement, thus enhancing the positional stability of the cutter disc and the cutting blade; on the other hand, the drive shaft sleeve 410 is drive-connected to the drive shaft 60, which can accurately transmit power to drive the cutting blade 420 to rotate, and provides stable support for the cutting blade through its own structure, ensuring that the cutting process is efficient and accurate.

[0023] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cup lid 50 above the blade 30 is provided with a vertically penetrating feeding channel 520, and a pusher 530 is movably inserted into the feeding channel 520. The feeding channel 520 of the cup lid 50 can accurately guide the food to be cut to fall vertically into the cutting area above the blade 20, avoiding food spillage; the movably inserted pusher 530 can gradually push the food in the feeding channel to the cutting blade without contacting the cutting blade 40, which not only ensures operational safety, but also makes full use of the food, avoids residue, and improves dicing efficiency and integrity.

[0024] See Figure 2The blade mesh 30 is inserted into the material inlet 200 from top to bottom, and the blade disc 20 is provided with a third limiting part 230 that fits against the lower surface of the blade mesh 30. The blade mesh 30 is installed in the material inlet 200 in a "top-to-bottom insertion" manner, which is simple and convenient to operate, and allows users to quickly disassemble, clean, or replace blade meshes of different specifications. The third limiting part 230 of the blade disc 20 fits against the lower surface of the blade mesh 30, which can accurately support the blade mesh and limit its downward displacement, preventing the blade mesh from shifting due to force during food cutting, ensuring the matching accuracy between the blade mesh and the cutting blade 40, and ensuring uniform dicing size.

[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive shaft 60 includes a first shaft body 610, a first coupling drive head 620, a second shaft body 630, a second coupling drive head 640, and a positioning shaft 650. The first shaft body 610 is rotatably disposed relative to the food preparation cup 10. The first coupling drive head 620 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the first shaft body 610. The second shaft body 630 is provided with a first coupling hole 631 with an opening on its lower side, and the first coupling drive head 620 can be inserted into the first coupling hole 631 from bottom to top. The second coupling drive head 640 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the second shaft body 630 and is inserted and coupled to the drive shaft sleeve 410. The positioning shaft 650 is fixedly connected to the second shaft body 630 and extends upward. The cup lid 50 is provided with a bushing 540, and the positioning shaft 650 is at least partially inserted into the bushing 540. The lower end of the first shaft body 610 extends downward to the outside of the food preparation cup 10 and is connected to the drive source for transmission. The lower end of the first shaft 610 extends to the outside of the blending cup 10 and connects to the drive source, providing power input for the whole assembly. The first coupling drive head 620 and the first coupling hole 631 of the second shaft 630 can be inserted from bottom to top, achieving efficient power transmission and facilitating disassembly and assembly. The second coupling drive head 640 is inserted and coupled to the transmission shaft sleeve 410, transmitting power to the cutting blade. The positioning shaft 650 is inserted into the sleeve 540 of the cup lid 50, ensuring stable rotation of the transmission shaft and preventing offset from affecting cutting accuracy. The drive source uses an existing motor and gearbox for power drive.

[0026] See Figure 2The drive shaft sleeve 410 is movably inserted into the shaft hole 220; the second coupling drive head 640 and the positioning shaft 650 are both inserted into the drive shaft sleeve 410; the positioning shaft 650 is located inside the second coupling drive head 640 and extends upward relative to the second coupling drive head 640. The drive shaft sleeve 410 is movably inserted into the shaft hole 220, providing an assembly base for the power transmission components; the second coupling drive head 640 and the positioning shaft 650 are both inserted into the drive shaft sleeve 410, which not only ensures stable power transmission to the cutting blade, but also, through the upward extension of the positioning shaft 650 inside the second coupling drive head 640, further enhances the overall coaxiality and rotational stability of the drive shaft, avoiding deviation during the cutting process.

[0027] In this invention, the cup lid is connected using existing screw, snap, or threaded structures.

[0028] In this utility model, the first insertion part 110 is a raised rib provided on the inner wall of the cooking cup 10, and the second insertion part 210 is a longitudinal slot provided on the blade plate 20. The raised rib is inserted into the longitudinal slot to achieve insertion and positioning.

[0029] In this utility model, the cutter head 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 240, which is clamped and fixed between the second limiting part 510 and the first limiting part 120.
