Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of soy milk makers, specifically relating to a multi-locking structure for a side discharge port and a soy milk maker thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Soy milk makers are a common household cooking appliance, widely popular for their ease of use and affordability. Some existing soy milk makers feature a side-discharge design to make them easier for the elderly and children to use, allowing them to dispense soy milk without lifting the machine, thus improving usability.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as patent document CN211299634U, a large-capacity soymilk maker is disclosed, including a mixing bucket. The mixing bucket comprises an inner bucket and an outer bucket. The inner bucket includes a mixing cavity with a discharge port on its bottom surface. The outer bucket has a discharge tap on its outer wall, which is connected to the discharge port via a discharge pipe, allowing the soymilk maker to discharge soymilk from the side, thus improving its convenience. However, freshly made soymilk is usually at a high temperature, and there is a risk of burns if the discharge tap is accidentally turned on. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model proposes a multi-locking structure for the side discharge port and a related soy milk maker. By engaging the first locking tongue with the locking groove and the second locking tongue with the locking hole, the sealing cover achieves multiple locking mechanisms, preventing the sealing cover from being opened due to accidental contact, thereby reducing the risk of burns from hot soy milk and improving the safety of the soy milk maker.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: A multi-locking structure for a side discharge port is provided on the outer wall of a soymilk maker, including a stopper assembly and a handle assembly. The stopper assembly is installed on the outer wall of the soymilk maker, and the handle assembly is slidably connected to the stopper assembly.

[0006] The cap assembly includes a mounting plate fixed to the outer wall of the soymilk maker and a sealing cap hinged to the mounting plate. The sealing cap includes a first hinge portion symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a second hinge portion corresponding to the first hinge portion is provided on the mounting plate. The second hinge portion includes a hinge hole, and the first hinge portion is engaged in the hinge hole. The first hinge portion also has a first locking tongue, and a plurality of locking grooves adapted to the first locking tongue are provided around the hinge hole. When the sealing cap is opened at different angles, the first locking tongue is engaged in the corresponding locking groove. Since the force applied to the soymilk maker when it is accidentally touched is usually small, the first locking tongue and the locking grooves form a first locking structure, which increases the resistance that needs to be overcome when the sealing cap is opened, thereby reducing the risk of the sealing cap being opened due to accidental touch and improving the reliability of the sealing cap assembly.

[0007] The handle assembly includes a handle body slidably connected to the mounting plate, and the handle body is kinetically connected to the sealing cover. The handle body includes second locking tongues symmetrically arranged on both sides. The mounting plate has locking holes corresponding to the second locking tongues, which gradually increase in size from the center to both ends, forming symmetrically arranged locking cavities. The second locking tongues are inserted into the locking holes. When the handle body slides, the second locking tongues slide from one locking cavity to the other. The second locking tongues and locking holes form a second locking structure, increasing the resistance that the handle body needs to overcome when sliding, reducing the risk of the handle body sliding due to accidental contact, and improving the reliability and safety of the handle assembly. When the sealing cover assembly and the handle assembly cooperate, the risk of the sealing cover being accidentally opened is effectively prevented, improving the reliability and safety of the soymilk maker.

[0008] Preferably, the handle assembly further includes a stop block slidably mounted on the handle body. The mounting plate has a blocking portion corresponding to the stop block. The stop block has at least two states, allowing it to be arranged side-by-side or staggered with the blocking portion, thereby placing the stop block in a locked or unlocked state. The stop block and the blocking portion form a third locking structure. When the stop block and the blocking portion are arranged side-by-side, they interfere with each other's movement, preventing the handle body from sliding. This avoids the sealing cover from opening due to accidental contact, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the sealing cover assembly and the handle assembly.

[0009] Specifically, the stop block is also equipped with a sensing plate, and the mounting plate is equipped with a corresponding induction switch. When the stop block switches states, the sensing plate moves closer to or further away from the sensing end of the induction switch. The induction switch is used to detect the state of the stop block. When the induction switch detects that the stop block has moved, causing it to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, it sends an electrical signal to the control module of the soymilk maker. Upon receiving the electrical signal, the control module cuts off the operating circuit of the soymilk maker, preventing the sealing cover from opening during operation due to accidental touch or misoperation, thus avoiding the risk of scalding from splashed soymilk and further improving the reliability and safety of the soymilk maker.

[0010] Preferably, the handle assembly further includes an elastic unit. The top of the handle body is provided with a mounting portion adapted to the elastic unit. One end of the elastic unit is connected to the mounting portion, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate. Driven by the elastic unit, the handle body causes the sealing cover to have a tendency to rotate in the closing direction. When the sealing cover is closed, it can exert a certain pre-pressure on the slurry outlet, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing cover and reducing the force required to close it. When the elasticity of the elastic unit is large enough, it can also make the sealing cover close automatically, improving the convenience of closing the sealing cover.

[0011] Specifically, the mounting part includes a mounting cavity with a top opening and a mounting post disposed in the mounting cavity. The elastic unit is sleeved on the mounting post, which not only improves the ease of installation of the elastic unit, but also prevents the elastic unit from coming out of the mounting part when it deforms elastically, thereby improving the reliability of the elastic unit.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a soy milk outlet, the soy milk maker has a stirring chamber inside, the stirring chamber has a soy milk discharge outlet, and the soy milk outlet is connected to the soy milk discharge outlet; the mounting plate is provided with a sealing part corresponding to the soy milk discharge outlet, the sealing part is provided with a sealing ring, the sealing ring abuts against the soy milk discharge outlet, thereby improving the sealing performance between the mounting plate and the soy milk discharge outlet, thus preventing soy milk leakage and improving the reliability of the mounting plate.

[0013] Specifically, the mounting plate is provided with multiple mounting holes, which are evenly distributed around the periphery of the sealing part, thereby increasing the sealing pressure of the sealing ring, avoiding gaps between the sealing ring and the slurry outlet, and further improving the sealing performance between the mounting plate and the slurry outlet.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting plate further includes a guide groove adapted to the handle body. The handle body is installed within the guide groove, and both sides of the handle body are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. The guide groove guides the handle body during sliding, preventing jamming due to installation gaps and thus improving the smoothness of the handle body's sliding.

[0015] Preferably, a sealing sleeve is also fitted onto the sealing cap, the sealing sleeve covering the side of the sealing cap facing the slurry outlet. The sealing sleeve is made of a flexible material that can deform flexibly under pressure, thereby avoiding a gap between the sealing sleeve and the slurry outlet and improving the sealing performance between the sealing cap and the slurry outlet.

[0016] A soymilk maker includes the aforementioned multiple locking structure, and also includes a drive unit disposed inside the soymilk maker. The output end of the drive unit extends into the mixing chamber from bottom to top, and the end of the output end is also provided with a mixing blade.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model proposes a multi-locking structure for a side-discharge outlet and a related soymilk maker. Firstly, the first locking tongue and locking groove form a first-level locking structure, increasing the resistance to be overcome when the sealing cover is opened, thereby reducing the risk of accidental opening and improving the reliability of the sealing cover assembly. Secondly, the second locking tongue and locking hole form a second-level locking structure, increasing the resistance to be overcome when the handle body slides, reducing the risk of accidental sliding and improving the reliability and safety of the handle assembly. When the sealing cover assembly and the handle assembly cooperate, the risk of accidental opening of the sealing cover is effectively prevented, further improving the reliability and safety of the soymilk maker.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a multi-locking structure for a side discharge port is provided on the outer wall of a soymilk maker, including a stopper assembly 1 and a handle assembly 2. The stopper assembly 1 is installed on the outer wall of the soymilk maker, and the handle assembly 2 is slidably connected to the stopper assembly 1.

[0031] The plug assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 11 fixed to the outer wall of the soymilk maker and a sealing cap 12 hinged to the mounting plate 11;

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a soy milk outlet 111, and the soy milk maker is provided with a stirring chamber 3. The stirring chamber 3 is provided with a soy milk discharge port, and the soy milk outlet 111 is connected to the soy milk discharge port. The mounting plate 11 is provided with a sealing part corresponding to the soy milk discharge port, and a sealing ring 114 is provided on the sealing part. The sealing ring 114 presses against the soy milk discharge port, which improves the sealing performance between the mounting plate 11 and the soy milk discharge port, thereby preventing soy milk leakage and improving the reliability of the mounting plate 11.

[0033] Specifically, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 115, which are evenly arranged on the periphery of the sealing part, thereby increasing the sealing pressure of the sealing ring 114, avoiding gaps between the sealing ring 114 and the slurry outlet, and further improving the sealing performance between the mounting plate 11 and the slurry outlet.

[0034] The sealing cover 12 includes a first hinge portion 121 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The mounting plate 11 is provided with a second hinge portion 112 corresponding to the first hinge portion 121. The second hinge portion 112 includes a hinge hole, and the first hinge portion 121 is engaged in the hinge hole. The first hinge portion 121 is also provided with a first locking tongue. The periphery of the hinge hole is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 1121 adapted to the first locking tongue. When the sealing cover 12 is opened at different angles, the first locking tongue is engaged in the corresponding locking groove 1121. Since the force applied to the soymilk maker when it is accidentally touched is usually small, the first locking tongue and the locking grooves 1121 form a first locking structure, which increases the resistance that the sealing cover 12 needs to overcome when it is opened, thereby reducing the risk of the sealing cover 12 being opened due to accidental touch and improving the reliability of the sealing cover 12 assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sealing sleeve 112 is also fitted onto the sealing cap 12, and the sealing sleeve 112 covers the side of the sealing cap 12 facing the slurry outlet 111. The sealing sleeve 112 is made of a flexible material and can deform flexibly when subjected to pressure, thereby avoiding a gap between the sealing sleeve 112 and the slurry outlet 111 and improving the sealing performance between the sealing cap 12 and the slurry outlet 111.

[0036] The handle assembly 2 includes a handle body 21 slidably connected to the mounting plate 11, and the handle body 21 is kinetically connected to the sealing cover 12. The handle body 21 includes second locking tongues 24 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The mounting plate 11 has locking holes 113 corresponding to the second locking tongues 24. The locking holes 113 gradually increase in size from the middle to both ends, forming symmetrically arranged locking cavities. The second locking tongues 24 are inserted into the locking holes 113. When the handle body 21 slides, the second locking tongues 24 slide from one locking cavity to the other. The second locking tongues 24 and the locking holes 113 form a second locking structure, increasing the resistance that the handle body 21 needs to overcome when sliding, reducing the risk of the handle body 21 sliding due to accidental contact, and improving the reliability and safety of the handle assembly 2. When the sealing cover 12 assembly and the handle assembly 2 cooperate with each other, the risk of the sealing cover 12 being accidentally opened is effectively prevented, improving the reliability and safety of the soymilk maker.

[0037] In this embodiment, the handle assembly 2 further includes a stop 22 slidably mounted on the handle body 21. The mounting plate 11 has a blocking portion corresponding to the stop 22. The stop 22 has at least two states, allowing the stop 22 and the blocking portion to be arranged side-by-side or staggered, thereby placing the stop 22 in a locked state or an unlocked state. The stop 22 and the blocking portion form a third locking structure. When the stop 22 and the blocking portion are arranged side-by-side, the stop 22 and the blocking portion interfere with each other, preventing the handle body 21 from sliding. This avoids the sealing cover 12 from opening due to accidental contact, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the sealing cover 12 assembly and the handle assembly 2.

[0038] Specifically, the stop block 22 is further provided with a sensing element 221, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a sensing switch corresponding to the sensing element 221. When the stop block 22 switches states, the sensing element 221 moves closer to or further away from the sensing end of the sensing switch. In this embodiment, when the sensing element 221 moves closer to the sensing end, the stop block 22 is in a locked state, and when the sensing element 221 moves away from the sensing end, the stop block 22 is in an unlocked state. In other embodiments, the stop block 22 may be in a locked state when the sensing element 221 moves away from the sensing end, and in an unlocked state when the sensing element 221 moves closer to the sensing end. The inductive switch is used to detect the state of the stop 22. When the inductive switch detects that the stop 22 has moved, causing the stop 22 to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, it sends an electrical signal to the control module of the soymilk maker. After receiving the electrical signal, the control module cuts off the working circuit of the soymilk maker, thus preventing the sealing cover 12 from opening when the soymilk maker is working due to accidental touch or misoperation, avoiding the risk of scalding caused by soymilk splashing, and further improving the reliability and safety of the soymilk maker.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 11 is further provided with a guide groove adapted to the handle body 21. The handle body 21 is installed in the guide groove, and both sides of the handle body 21 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. The guide groove is used to guide the handle body 21 when it slides, preventing the handle body 21 from getting stuck due to the installation gap, thereby improving the smoothness of the handle body 21 when it slides.

[0040] In this embodiment, the handle assembly 2 further includes an elastic unit 23. The top of the handle body 21 is provided with a mounting portion 211 adapted to the elastic unit 23. One end of the elastic unit 23 is connected to the mounting portion 211, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 11. Under the drive of the elastic unit 23, the handle body 21 causes the sealing cover 12 to have a tendency to rotate in the closing direction. When the sealing cover 12 is closed, the sealing cover 12 can exert a certain pre-pressure on the slurry outlet 111, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing cover 12 and reducing the force required to close the sealing cover 12. When the elasticity of the elastic unit 23 is large enough, the sealing cover 12 can also be automatically closed, improving the convenience of closing the sealing cover 12.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting part 211 includes a mounting cavity with a top opening and a mounting post disposed in the mounting cavity. The elastic unit 23 is sleeved on the mounting post, which not only improves the ease of installation of the elastic unit 23, but also prevents the elastic unit 23 from coming out of the mounting part 211 when it elastically deforms, thereby improving the reliability of the elastic unit 23.

[0042] In this embodiment, the elastic unit 23 is a compression spring.

[0045] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
