Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of meat grinder technology, specifically a meat grinder blade structure. Background Technology

[0002] Meat grinders, as a common food processing device, can quickly grind meat and other ingredients into the desired particle size, and are widely used in home kitchens, restaurants, and food processing facilities. The blade structure of a meat grinder is one of its core components; the size of the meat outlet holes on the blade directly determines the coarseness of the ground ingredients, thus meeting different cooking needs.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN219519106U) discloses a blade disc structure for kitchen appliances and its meat grinder, including a blade disc with a meat outlet hole and a central hole. A plastic bushing is integrally injection-molded into the central hole, and the plastic bushing has a through hole in its center. The thickness of the plastic bushing is greater than the thickness of the blade disc. The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. It solves the problem of black meat paste appearing in the central hole of the existing blade disc during use. 2. The plastic bushing has a low specific heat coefficient, reducing the surface temperature of the central hole of the blade disc. The plastic bushing also has better lubrication than a metal blade disc, reducing heat generation and frictional wear during use.

[0004] However, when users need different aperture blades to obtain minced ingredients of different particle sizes, they usually need to disassemble the currently installed blade and replace it with a blade with the appropriate aperture. This is not only cumbersome but also time-consuming and laborious. After the meat grinder finishes grinding meat, meat residue and other food residues are easily left inside the meat outlet walls of the blade. If they are not cleaned in a timely and effective manner, they will not only breed bacteria and affect food hygiene and safety, but may also contaminate newly minced ingredients during the next use, causing the ingredients to spoil or develop an odor. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a meat grinder blade structure that has advantages such as self-cleaning and automatic blade replacement, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a meat grinder blade structure, including a switching frame, wherein a switching plate is slidably connected inside the switching frame along its height direction, the height of the switching plate is half that of the switching frame, and three through slots are provided on the outer surface of the switching frame.

[0007] Two meat grinders are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the switching plate, and a driving mechanism is provided on one side of the switching frame to drive the switching plate to slide along the height direction of the switching frame.

[0008] The top and bottom of the switching frame are respectively provided with cleaning mechanisms for cleaning the two meat grinding discs.

[0009] One side of the switching frame is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe that is coaxially arranged with the through groove in the middle.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a first cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the switching frame and arranged along its height direction. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder. The connecting rod is slidably inserted along the height direction of the switching frame, and the top end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the switching plate.

[0011] The above scheme utilizes the telescopic movement of the first cylinder to move the connecting rod, thereby driving the switching plate to slide along the height direction within the switching frame, thus realizing the switching function of the meat grinder.

[0012] Furthermore, two electric actuators are fixedly installed in the middle of the switching frame. The two electric actuators are arranged symmetrically, and the output ends of the two electric actuators are fixedly connected to locking rods. Two sets of V-shaped locking slots are opened at the edge of the switching plate, and each set of V-shaped locking slots is located on both sides of the corresponding switching plate.

[0013] With the above solution, after the drive mechanism moves the switching plate to switch the meat grinder, the electric push rod drives the locking rod into the V-shaped slot, which can lock the meat grinder. The V-shaped design of the V-shaped slot can avoid the locking rod failing to enter the slot accurately due to movement accuracy errors, thus improving the stability and reliability of locking.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a linear module, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe and arranged along its length. The linear module is slidably connected to a movable frame, and a cleaning box coaxially arranged with the corresponding through groove is fixedly installed on the movable frame. A set of distributed cleaning columns is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box, and a scraping ring adapted to the corresponding meat grinder hole diameter is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each cleaning column.

[0015] The above solution involves a linear module driving a scraping ring to engage with the holes in the meat grinder, effectively cleaning any remaining meat scraps and other food residues and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the meat grinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism also includes a set of spray holes on the surface of each cleaning column, and an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning box.

[0017] With the above method, while the scraping ring cleans the meat grinder, the cleaning fluid enters the cleaning box through the inlet pipe and is then sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the meat grinder, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the lowermost meat grinder is coaxially arranged with the middle through groove, and the uppermost meat grinder is coaxially arranged with the top through groove.

[0019] The above solution ensures that the meat grinder disc is accurately aligned with the corresponding slot in its initial state, facilitating the normal operation of the meat grinder.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This meat grinder blade structure, through the sliding connection of the switching plate in the switching frame, combined with different diameter meat grinders and drive mechanisms, realizes the quick switching of meat grinders with different diameters. Unlike the traditional method, there is no need to disassemble and replace the blade, saving time and effort, and can efficiently meet the needs of grinding ingredients of different particle sizes.

[0022] By setting cleaning mechanisms at the top and bottom of the switching frame, and using a linear module to drive a cleaning column with a scraping ring to insert and scrape the meat grinder hole, the meat paste and other food residues inside the meat grinder are effectively cleaned, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the meat grinder. This avoids the growth of bacteria due to food residue, which could affect food hygiene and safety, and also prevents contamination of freshly ground food during the next use, which could lead to food spoilage or odor.

[0023] By opening spray holes on the surface of the cleaning column and connecting the liquid inlet pipe to the external cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid can enter the cleaning box through the liquid inlet pipe while the scraping ring cleans the meat grinder, and then be sprayed out through the spray holes to rinse the meat grinder, which further improves the cleaning effect and ensures that the meat grinder is thoroughly clean.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] Please see Figures 1-8 The meat grinder blade structure in this embodiment includes a switching frame 1, a switching plate 2 that is slidably connected inside the switching frame 1 along its height direction, the height of the switching plate 2 being half that of the switching frame 1, and three through slots 3 formed on the outer surface of the switching frame 1.

[0039] Two meat grinding discs 4 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the switching plate 2. The two meat grinding discs 4 have different hole diameters. A drive mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the switching frame 1 to drive the switching plate 2 to slide along the height direction of the switching frame 1. It can adjust the corresponding meat grinding disc 4 to be coaxial with the middle through groove 3, so as to realize the switching use of meat grinding discs 4 with different hole diameters and meet the needs of grinding food with different particle sizes. The drive mechanism 5 includes a first cylinder 501. The first cylinder 501 is fixedly installed with the switching frame 1 and is set along its height direction. A connecting rod 502 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 501. The connecting rod 502 slides and inserts along the height direction of the switching frame 1. The top end of the connecting rod 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the switching plate 2. The extension and retraction movement of the first cylinder 501 drives the connecting rod 502 to move, thereby driving the switching plate 2 to slide along the height direction in the switching frame 1 to realize the switching function of the meat grinding disc 4.

[0040] The top and bottom of the switching frame 1 are respectively provided with cleaning mechanisms 6 for cleaning the two meat grinding discs 4. One side of the switching frame 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 7 coaxially arranged with the central through groove 3. The connecting pipe 7 can be easily connected to the discharge port of the external meat grinder. The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a linear module 601, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 7 and arranged along its length. The linear module 601 is slidably connected to a moving frame 602. The moving frame 602 is fixedly installed with a cleaning box 603 coaxially arranged with the corresponding through groove 3. One side of the cleaning box 603 is fixedly connected to a set of distributed cleaning columns 604. The outer surface of each cleaning column 604 is fixedly connected to a scraping ring 605 that matches the corresponding diameter of the meat grinding disc 4. The linear module 601 drives the scraping ring 605. The scraping ring 605, which is inserted into the hole of the meat grinder 4, can effectively clean the meat residue and other food residue inside, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the meat grinder 4. The cleaning mechanism 6 also includes a set of spray holes 606 on the surface of each cleaning column 604. The outer surface of the cleaning box 603 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 607, which is connected to an external cleaning liquid supply device. With the above settings, while the scraping ring 605 cleans the meat grinder 4, the cleaning liquid enters the cleaning box 603 through the liquid inlet pipe 607 and is then sprayed out through the spray holes 606 to rinse the meat grinder 4, further improving the cleaning effect. The bottom meat grinder 4 is coaxially arranged with the middle through groove 3, and the top meat grinder 4 is coaxially arranged with the top through groove 3, so that the meat grinder 4 can be accurately aligned with the corresponding through groove 3 in the initial state, which is convenient for the normal operation of the meat grinder.

[0041] Two electric push rods 8 are fixedly installed in the middle of the switching frame 1. The two electric push rods 8 are arranged symmetrically. The output ends of the two electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to the locking rods 9. Two sets of V-shaped slots 10 are opened at the edge of the switching plate 2. Each set of V-shaped slots 10 is located on both sides of the corresponding switching plate 2. When the drive mechanism 5 drives the switching plate 2 to move and switch the meat grinder 4, the electric push rods 8 drive the locking rods 9 into the interior of the V-shaped slots 10, which can lock the meat grinder 4. The V-shaped setting of the V-shaped slots 10 can avoid the locking rods 9 from failing to accurately enter the slots due to movement accuracy errors, thereby improving the stability and reliability of locking.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to switch the meat grinder 4 to obtain minced ingredients of different particle sizes, the first cylinder 501 is activated. The first cylinder 501 moves in a telescopic motion along the height direction of the switching frame 1. Its output end drives the connecting rod 502 to move. The connecting rod 502 slides and inserts along the height direction of the switching frame 1, and its top end is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the switching plate 2. Therefore, the movement of the connecting rod 502 will drive the switching plate 2 to slide along the height direction within the switching frame 1. As the switching plate 2 slides, it drives the switching plate 2 to move, so that the meat grinder 4 with different apertures moves to a position coaxial with the central through groove 3, thereby realizing the cutting of meat grinder 4 with different apertures. The switching mechanism is designed to meet the needs of grinding ingredients of different particle sizes. When the drive mechanism 5 moves the switching plate 2 to bring the required meat grinding plate 4 to the designated position, it activates two symmetrically arranged electric push rods 8 fixedly installed in the middle of the switching frame 1. The output ends of the electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to locking rods 9. Two sets of V-shaped slots are opened at the edge of the switching plate 2. Each set of V-shaped slots is located on both sides of the corresponding switching plate 2. The electric push rods 8 drive the locking rods 9 into the V-shaped slots to lock the meat grinding plate 4. The V-shaped design of the V-shaped slots can prevent the locking rods 9 from failing to accurately enter the slots due to movement accuracy errors, thus improving the stability and reliability of locking.

[0043] After the meat grinder completes the meat grinding process, the grinding disc 4 needs to be cleaned. The corresponding linear module 601 is then activated. The linear module 601 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 7 and is positioned along its length. A movable frame 602 is slidably connected to the linear module 601. Driven by the linear module 601, the movable frame 602 moves, causing the cleaning box 603, which is fixedly installed on the movable frame 602, to move. This ensures that the cleaning box 603 is coaxially aligned with the corresponding through slot 3. A set of distributed cleaning columns 604 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box 603. Each cleaning column 604 has a corresponding hole diameter of the corresponding meat grinder 4 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The matching scraping ring 605, as the cleaning box 603 moves, engages with the holes of the meat grinder 4 to scrape and effectively clean the meat paste and other food residues remaining inside the holes of the meat grinder 4, pushing them out. Each cleaning column 604 has a set of spray holes 606 on its surface. The outer surface of the cleaning box 603 is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet pipe 607, which is connected to an external cleaning liquid supply device. While the scraping ring 605 is cleaning the meat grinder 4, the cleaning liquid enters the cleaning box 603 through the liquid inlet pipe 607 and is then sprayed out through the spray holes 606 to rinse the meat grinder 4, further improving the cleaning effect and ensuring that the meat grinder 4 is thoroughly clean.
