Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen equipment and relates to a hand-pulled food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A pull-string food processor is a common kitchen appliance. This type of processor does not require electricity; simply place the ingredients in the container and gently pull the rope to process the food. It is suitable for people of all ages and cooking skills.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model CN209050818U (publication date: 2019-07-02) discloses a safe pull-type vegetable cutter, including a cup body, a cup lid that matches the cup body, a pull rope drive mechanism installed in the cup lid, and a blade assembly located in the cup body and detachably connected to the drive end of the pull rope drive mechanism.

[0004] These devices are often single-function, but due to the detachable blade assembly, they also possess a degree of expandability. One development direction is to detachably install the cutting assembly (usually a spiral blade that cuts vegetables by rotation) and the dehydration assembly (usually a dehydration basket that dehydrates by rotation) onto the drive end of the pull-cord drive mechanism, thus giving the device both cutting and dehydration functions. When setting up the dehydration assembly, a shaft connected to the drive end needs to be installed on the dehydration basket to enable its rotation. However, the installation of the shaft will significantly reduce the volume of the dehydration basket, leaving insufficient space to hold the food to be dehydrated. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a hand-operated food processor that has both dehydration and vegetable cutting functions, as well as the advantages of stable drive and large capacity.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A pull-out food processor includes a cup body, a cup lid that matches the cup body, and a pull cord drive mechanism disposed inside the cup lid. A drive component is mounted on the rotating shaft of the pull cord drive mechanism. The drive component has a central drive part and an outer peripheral drive part formed on it. The drive component can be selectively connected to a vegetable cutting component or a dehydration component. When connected to the vegetable cutting component, the central drive part drives the vegetable cutting component to rotate. When connected to the dehydration component, the outer peripheral drive part drives the dehydration component to rotate.

[0007] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processing machine, the central drive unit is selected from a drive shaft, a spline sleeve, a magnetic coupler, an elastic claw, or a friction transmission structure; preferably, the central drive unit is a drive shaft. The outer peripheral drive unit is selected from a drive plate, a drive claw, a drive pin, or a drive ring; preferably, the outer peripheral drive unit is a drive plate.

[0008] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processor, the drive component is a disc-shaped structure, and both the drive shaft and the drive plate are formed at the bottom of the drive component and extend downward. The drive shaft is a hollow shaft, with its inner circumferential surface connected to the rotating shaft and its outer circumferential surface connected to the blade shaft of the vegetable cutting component.

[0009] In the aforementioned hand-operated food processor, the rotating shaft, drive shaft, and cutter shaft are all hexagonal structures, and each component transmits power through the hexagonal structure; of course, the power transmission method can also be replaced by other non-circular connection methods or keyed connection methods.

[0010] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processor, the bottom of the drive shaft is provided with an axial opening, and a protrusion is provided on its inner wall. The protrusion and the circumferential groove on the outer wall of the shaft form a snap-fit ​​fixing structure.

[0011] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processor, a plurality of grids are spaced apart on the circumferential wall of the dehydration component, and the drive plate is inserted into the gaps between the grids to drive the dehydration component to rotate.

[0012] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processor, the drive component is adapted to the top opening of the dehydration component and forms a covering structure for the dehydration component. The grid bar protrudes inward from the inner circumferential surface of the dehydration component, and the outer contour of the drive plate is flush with the drive component.

[0013] In the aforementioned hand-operated food processor, the drive plate can also drive the dehydration assembly in other ways. For example, the top of the dehydration assembly may have an annular drive ring, and the inner circumference or bottom of the drive ring may have drive notches or grooves that match the shape of the drive plate. When the drive component presses down, the drive plate embeds into these notches or grooves, thereby driving the dehydration assembly to rotate.

[0014] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processing machine, preferably, multiple drive plates are provided and evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0015] In the aforementioned hand-pulled food processor, a base portion is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cup. The base portion is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the rotating shaft. The bottom of the vegetable cutting component or the dehydration component is rotatably connected to the base portion. The rotatable connection structure can adopt various methods, such as the fit between the shaft and the shaft hole, or the fit between the concave and convex structures.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: This invention provides a pull-type food processor that incorporates an integrated multi-functional drive component on the shaft of the pull-cord drive mechanism. This drive component creatively integrates the central drive unit and the peripheral drive unit into a single standardized power interface. When the user switches between the cutting and dehydration functions, the drive component automatically adapts, transmitting power via either the central drive or the peripheral drive method. The structure of the peripheral drive dehydration component frees up the central area of ​​the dehydration component, increasing its effective volume and allowing it to accommodate more and larger food items, significantly improving dehydration efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-3 : A pull-out food processor includes a cup body 1, a cup lid 2 that matches the cup body 1, and a pull cord drive mechanism 3 disposed within the cup lid 2. A drive component 5 is mounted on the rotating shaft 4 of the pull cord drive mechanism 3. The drive component 5 has a central drive part and an outer peripheral drive part formed on it. The drive component 5 can be selectively connected to a vegetable cutting assembly 6 (spiral blade) or a dehydration assembly 7 (dehydration basket). When connected to the vegetable cutting assembly 6, the central drive part drives the vegetable cutting assembly 6 to rotate. When connected to the dehydration assembly 7, the outer peripheral drive part drives the dehydration assembly 7 to rotate. In this embodiment, the central drive part is a drive shaft 8, and the outer peripheral drive part is a drive plate 9.

[0019] In this embodiment, the pull rope drive mechanism 3 is a conventional hand-pulled structure. By pulling the rope, the rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate. When the vegetable cutting function is used, the vegetable cutting component 6 is installed inside the cup body 1. The drive shaft 8 is connected to the blade shaft 10 of the vegetable cutting component 6. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the blade shaft 10 to rotate through the drive shaft 8, thereby achieving vegetable cutting. When the dehydration function is used, the dehydration component 7 is installed inside the cup body 1. The drive plate 9 is driven by the dehydration component 7. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the dehydration component 7 to rotate through the drive plate 9, thereby achieving dehydration.

[0020] The central drive unit is not limited to the form of a drive shaft 8. For example, it can be a splined sleeve, a magnetic coupler with a built-in magnet, or a quick-connect structure with elastic claws. All these structures capable of transmitting torque from the central position to the cutting assembly 6 fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Similarly, the peripheral driving part is not limited to the form of the driving plate 9. It can be a downwardly extending driving claw, a driving pin, a driving ring and groove structure that forms a rotational engagement with the dehydration component 7, a friction ring driven by friction, or even a magnetic driving component 5 that uses magnetic force for non-contact transmission. Any structure that can drive the rotation of the dehydration component 7 from its outer periphery falls within the scope of the peripheral driving part described in this utility model.

[0022] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the driving component 5 is as follows: the driving component 5 is a disc-shaped structure, the driving shaft 8 and the driving plate 9 are both formed at the bottom of the driving component 5 and extend downwards, the driving shaft 8 is a hollow shaft, its inner circumferential surface is connected to the rotating shaft 4, and its outer circumferential surface is connected to the blade shaft 10 of the vegetable cutting component 6.

[0023] Preferably, the aforementioned rotating shaft 4, drive shaft 8, and cutter shaft 10 are all hexagonal structures. Power transmission is achieved through these hexagonal structures to ensure transmission stability and prevent slippage. Furthermore, the drive shaft 8 has an axial opening 11 at its bottom and a protrusion 12 on its inner wall. The protrusion 12 and the circumferential groove on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4 form a snap-fit ​​fixing structure. This structure achieves a reliable connection between the drive component 5 and the rotating shaft 4, while also providing a detachable function.

[0024] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the drive plate 9 and the dehydration component 7 is as follows: a plurality of grid strips 13 are spaced apart on the circumferential wall of the dehydration component 7, and the drive plate 9 is inserted into the gaps between the grid strips 13 to drive the dehydration component 7 to rotate. Preferably, the drive member 5 is adapted to the top opening of the dehydration component 7 and forms a covering structure for the dehydration component 7 to prevent food splashing; the grid strips 13 protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface of the dehydration component 7, and the outer contour of the drive plate 9 is flush with the drive member 5, so that the grid strips 13 and the drive plate 9 form an overlapping area in the radial direction to smoothly drive the dehydration component 7 to rotate. Preferably, multiple drive plates 9 are provided and are evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0025] To further improve the rotational stability of the cutting component 6 or the dehydration component 7, a base portion 14 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cup body 1. The base portion 14 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 4, and the bottom of the cutting component 6 or the dehydration component 7 is rotatably connected to the base portion 14. The rotatable connection structure can adopt various methods, such as the fit between the shaft and the shaft hole, the fit between the concave and convex structures, etc. In this embodiment, the blade shaft 10 of the cutting component 6 is fitted outside the base portion 14 to form a rotatable connection structure, and the bottom column of the dehydration component 7 is fitted with the central groove of the base portion 14 to form a rotatable connection structure.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
