Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing machine technology, specifically relating to a food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A steam food maker is a kitchen appliance that heats and cooks food by introducing steam into a blending cup through a steam generator. The steam generator and the blending cup are separate units, each with an inlet for steam flow.

[0003] In the prior art, when steam is introduced into the blending cup, the inlet is located near the upper part of the blending cup or the steam generator, and the steam outlet is located at the top of the blending cup. As a result, after the steam is introduced into the blending cup from the steam generator, it is discharged from the outlet without fully contacting the food, resulting in low steam utilization efficiency, longer food cooking time, and inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to disclose a food processing machine to solve the problem of low steam utilization rate in existing food processing machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a food processing machine, comprising: A grinding module includes a first pot body and a grinding mechanism and a filter structure disposed in the first pot body. The first pot body is provided with a steam inlet and a steam outlet. The filter structure and a portion of the first pot body form a heating space, and the filter structure and another portion of the pot body form a steam outlet space. The steam outlet space is connected to the steam outlet. The filter structure is provided with a filter hole for steam to flow through at one end near the bottom of the first pot body. A steam generating module is located on one side of the churning module and is used to heat the water and generate steam. The steam generating module is provided with a steam outlet, which is connected to the steam inlet.

[0006] As an optional implementation, the first kettle body includes a main body and a protrusion that protrudes radially from one side of the main body. A heating space is formed between the filter structure and the main body, and a steam outlet space is formed between the filter structure and the protrusion. The protrusion is provided with the steam outlet.

[0007] As an optional implementation, there is a gap between the upper end of the protrusion and the main body, and the gap is the steam outlet.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the first kettle body is provided with an opening communicating with the heating space and the steam outlet space, the opening extending along the axial direction of the first kettle body, and the filter structure is disposed at the opening.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the filter structure and the first pot body are detachably connected.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the first pot body is provided with a plug-in groove, and the filter structure is detachably disposed in the plug-in groove.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the first pot body has a retaining platform on its inner wall, and the retaining platform extends along the circumference of the first pot body; The card holder has a insertion slot on the side facing the opening, and the insertion slot extends to the side where the card holder is connected to the first pot body.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the insertion slot is located at the upper end of the card holder.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the first kettle body is provided with a limiting rib on its inner wall, and the filter structure is attached to the limiting rib along the side wall of the limiting rib toward the steam outlet space.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the food processing machine further includes a main unit, on which the pulverizing module and the steam generating module are arranged side by side.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the food processing machine of this utility model are as follows: This food processing machine heats water to generate steam via a steam generating module. The steam flows from the steam outlet to the steam inlet on the first pot body, allowing it to enter the heating space to heat the food. When the steam is discharged, the filter holes for steam discharge into the heating space are located at the bottom of the filter structure near the first pot body. Therefore, after the steam flows in from the steam inlet, it flows downwards from the upper steam inlet to fill the entire heating space as much as possible, ensuring sufficient contact with the food before being discharged from the lower filter holes into the steam outlet space. This increases the contact time and area between the steam and food, prolongs the residence time of the steam in the heating space, improves the cooking efficiency of the food, and enhances steam utilization, while also improving the user experience.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a food processing machine 100, which includes a crushing module 10 and a steam generating module 20.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The grinding module 10 includes a first pot body 11 and a grinding mechanism 12 and a filter structure 13 disposed within the first pot body 11. The first pot body 11 is provided with a steam inlet 14 and a steam outlet 15. The filter structure 13 and part of the first pot body 11 form a heating space 16, and a steam outlet space 17 is formed between the filter structure 13 and another part of the pot body. The steam outlet space 17 is connected to the steam outlet 15. The filter structure 13 is provided with a filter hole 131 for steam to flow through at one end near the bottom of the first pot body 11. The steam generating module 20 is disposed on one side of the grinding module 10 and is used to heat the water and generate steam. The steam generating module 20 is provided with a steam outlet 21, and the steam outlet 21 is connected to the steam inlet 14.

[0027] The aforementioned food processing machine 100 heats water to generate steam via a steam generating module 20. The steam flows from the steam outlet 21 to the steam inlet 14 on the first pot body 11, allowing it to enter the heating space 16 to heat the food. When the steam is discharged, the filter hole 131 for steam discharge into the heating space 16 is located at the end of the filter structure 13 near the bottom of the first pot body 11. As a result, after the steam flows in from the steam inlet 14, it flows downward from the upper steam inlet 14 to fill the entire heating space 16 as much as possible. Only after making full contact with the food can it be discharged from the lower filter hole 131 into the steam outlet space 17. This increases the contact time and contact area between the steam and the food, prolongs the residence time of the steam in the heating space 16, improves the cooking efficiency of the food, that is, improves the steam utilization rate, and enhances the user experience.

[0028] It should be noted that when the filter hole 131 is set, the filter hole 131 has a certain opening height in the vertical direction so that at least part of the opening area needs to be covered by food, thereby facilitating the heating of different amounts of food; or in another embodiment, when the food is pulverized, the food can completely cover the filter hole 131, so that steam can only be discharged from the filter hole 131 after it has come into complete contact with the food.

[0029] Furthermore, it is understandable that since the food is in a state of continuous agitation by the grinding mechanism 12, i.e., the food is in a flowing state, steam can fill the food. At the same time, since the food is in a state of agitation, only a small portion of the food can flow from the filter hole 131 into the steam outlet space 17.

[0030] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the steam output and keep the pressure inside the first kettle body 11 within a safe operating range, the filter holes 131 need to have a certain opening area. Thus, multiple filter holes 131 are opened on the filter structure 13, and the multiple filter holes 131 are arranged on the filter structure 13 along the width direction of the filter structure 13. Specifically, the width direction of the filter structure 13 is parallel to the circumference of the first kettle body 11.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to facilitate the use of the entire food processing machine 100, the food processing machine 100 also includes a main unit 30, a crushing module 10 and a steam generating module 20 arranged side by side on the main unit 30. Thus, by setting the main unit 30, the entire food processing machine 100 can be used as a whole. The installation positions of the crushing module 10 and the steam generating module 20 are defined to facilitate the docking of the steam outlet positions of the two.

[0032] In this embodiment, the steam generating module 20 includes a second pot body and a heating coil on the second pot body. The second pot body is provided with a steam outlet 21, and the heating coil is located at the bottom of the second pot body to heat the water.

[0033] Understandably, the grinding module 10 of this embodiment also includes a cover 19, so that after the cover 19 is opened, it is convenient to add food and to disassemble and tilt the filter structure 13.

[0034] The grinding mechanism 12 may include a mounting shaft and grinding blades mounted on the mounting shaft, and the main unit is equipped with a drive motor to drive the mounting shaft, so that the grinding of food is achieved by the rotation of the grinding blades.

[0035] Please see Figures 5 to 7When forming the heating space 16 and the steam outlet space 17, the first kettle body 11 includes a main body 111 and a protrusion 113 that protrudes radially from one side of the main body 111. The filter structure 13 and the main body 111 enclose the heating space 16, and the filter structure 13 and the protrusion 113 enclose the steam outlet space 17. The protrusion 113 is provided with a steam outlet 15. Thus, by setting the first kettle body 11 to include two parts, since the protrusion 113 protrudes radially from the main body 111, when setting the filter structure 13, the filter structure 13 can be set to have the same curvature as the main body 111. At this time, the filter structure 13 has a regular structure, which facilitates the forming of the filter structure 13. In another embodiment, the first kettle body 11 can be set as a regular-shaped structure, and the filter structure 13 can be formed into an irregular shape, for example, the cross-section of the filter structure 13 can be set as a "V" shape, and the tip of the V-shape of the filter structure 13 faces into the heating space 16. In this case, the filter structure 13 can also achieve the effect of forming a heating space 16 and a steam outlet space 17 between itself and the kettle body.

[0036] Furthermore, when the steam outlet 15 is formed by the protrusion 113, there is a gap between the upper end of the protrusion 113 and the main body 111, and this gap forms the steam outlet 15. In this way, the gap between the protrusion 113 and the main body 111 is directly set as the steam outlet 15, which not only facilitates the setting of the steam outlet 15, but also ensures that the steam outlet 15 has a certain steam outlet area size and ensures the steam output.

[0037] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 When setting the filter structure 13, the first pot body 10 is provided with an opening 18 that connects the heating space 16 and the steam outlet space 17. The opening 18 extends along the axial direction of the first pot body 10. The filter structure 13 is located at the opening 18. Specifically, the main body 111 and the protrusion 113 are integrally set. The main body 111 is provided with an opening 18 on the side facing the protrusion 113. The filter structure 13 is located at the opening 18 to achieve the effect of filtering food by the filter structure 13; at the same time, it facilitates the forming of the first pot body 10.

[0038] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7When the filter structure 13 is set up, since the food is being crushed, some food may be trapped in the filter holes 131. In order to ensure the safety of the food processor 100, the filter structure 13 and the first pot body 11 are detachably connected in this embodiment. In this way, after the food is crushed and heated, the filter structure 13 can be disassembled relative to the first pot body 11 for cleaning, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the filter structure 13 and thus ensure the safety of the entire food processor 100.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the filter structure 13 is detachably installed, the first pot body 11 is provided with a plug-in groove 112, and the filter structure 13 is detachably installed in the plug-in groove 112. In this way, the filter structure 13 can be quickly installed by plugging it into the plug-in groove 112. When the filter structure 13 needs to be disassembled, it can be pulled out.

[0040] In one embodiment, when the insertion groove 112 is provided on the first pot body 11, the insertion groove 112 extending along the axial direction of the first pot body 10 can be provided in the side wall of the first pot body 11; or the first pot body 11 can be provided with an installation structure on the inner wall so that the filter structure 13 can be installed in the first pot body 10 through the installation structure.

[0041] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first pot body 11 has a mounting plate 114 on its inner wall, which extends circumferentially along the first pot body 11. The mounting plate 114 has a insertion groove 112 on the side facing the opening 18. The filter structure 13 is fitted into the insertion groove 112, and the insertion groove 112 extends to the mounting plate 114 and connects to one side of the first pot body 11. That is, the insertion groove 112 is formed by the cooperation between the mounting plate 114 and the first pot body 11, so that the entire first pot body 11 has a certain thickness to ensure the structural strength for installing the filter structure 13.

[0042] In this design, the insertion slot 112 is located at the upper end of the mounting plate 114, meaning that the height of the insertion slot 112 only occupies a portion of the height of the entire mounting plate 114. This not only facilitates the forming of the insertion slot 112, but also, due to the smaller height of the insertion slot 112 and lower forming accuracy, makes it easier to install the filter structure 13 and avoids jamming during insertion. Furthermore, compared to setting the insertion slot 112 at a higher height along the entire height of the first pot body 10, setting the insertion slot 112 only at the upper end of the mounting plate 114 also ensures the structural strength of the entire first pot body 11.

[0043] In order to limit the installation position of the filter structure 13, the first pot body 11 is provided with a limiting rib 115 on the inner wall. The filter structure 13 is attached to the limiting rib 115 along the side wall of the limiting rib 115 toward the steam outlet space 17. That is, the setting of the limiting rib 115 can limit the installation of the filter structure 13 and also guide the installation of the filter structure 13.

[0044] Specifically, since the first pot body 11 of this embodiment includes a main body 111 and a protrusion 113 protruding from one side of the main body 111 in the radial direction, the protrusion 113 includes a longitudinal wall 1131 extending along the height direction of the main body 111, and also includes a bottom wall 1132 connecting the bottom of the longitudinal wall 1131 and the lower end of the main body 111, when the limiting rib 115 is set, the limiting rib 115 is connected to the side of the bottom wall 1132 facing the heating space 16. Therefore, when the filter structure 13 is installed in the insertion slot 112, the bottom wall 1132 supports the filter structure 13, and at the same time, the limiting rib 115 also limits the filter structure 13.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 Corresponding to the structure of the insertion slot 112 described above, the filter structure 13 of this embodiment has an insertion ear 132 on at least one side of its top end in the width direction. By inserting the insertion ear 132 into the insertion slot 112, the filter structure 13 can be detachably installed on the first pot body 11. The filter structure 13 of this embodiment includes a filter plate 133 and a filter screen 134 disposed on the filter plate 133. The filter screen 134 is disposed at the lower end of the filter plate 133, and the filter plate 133 has an insertion ear 132 on at least one side in the width direction.

[0046] The food processing machine 100 described above, by setting the first pot body 11 to include a main body 111 and a protrusion 113, facilitates the division of the space inside the first pot body 11 into a heating space 16 and a steam outlet space 17 after the filter structure 13 is installed inside the first pot body 11; by detachably installing the filter structure 13 inside the first pot body 11, it is easy to disassemble and clean the filter structure 13; by setting a retaining platform 114 inside the first pot body 11, and by setting the retaining platform 114 to form an insertion groove 112, the structural strength of the entire first pot body 11 is ensured.

[0047] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
