Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Soy milk makers are a common household kitchen appliance, widely popular for their ability to quickly make soy milk. Most existing soy milk makers are tilting types, requiring the user to hold the maker to pour the soy milk after it's made. However, this can be difficult for the elderly and children, easily causing the soy milk to spill when pouring.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as patent document CN112369936B, an automatic filter soy milk maker is disclosed. By setting a soy milk outlet on the circumferential side wall of the machine body, the soy milk maker can dispense soy milk without tilting, making it convenient for the elderly and children to use. However, since freshly made soy milk is usually quite hot, if the user accidentally touches the soy milk outlet switch, hot soy milk will flow out, posing a risk of burns. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model proposes an anti-accidental opening structure for a side-discharge soy milk maker and the soy milk maker itself. By locking the handle with a stop block, the handle is prevented from being accidentally opened, thus improving the safety of the soy milk maker and solving the problem of hot soy milk flowing out due to accidental opening of the soy milk maker's outlet.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: A structure to prevent accidental opening of the lid in a side-discharge soy milk maker is provided on the side wall of the soy milk maker body. The side wall of the soy milk maker has a discharge port, and a hinged sealing lid is provided at the discharge port. The structure includes a drive assembly for driving the sealing lid to rotate. The drive assembly includes a handle that is kinetically connected to the sealing lid. The handle is slidably connected to the body to drive the sealing lid to open or close. By converting the sliding of the handle into the rotation of the sealing lid, the user's limbs are prevented from approaching the discharge port when opening the sealing lid, thereby avoiding the risk of scalding from splashing soy milk and improving the safety of the soy milk maker.

[0006] The drive assembly further includes a stop block slidably connected to the handle. A blocking portion corresponding to the stop block is provided on the side wall of the machine body. The stop block can slide relative to the handle in a first direction and has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the stop block is in the locked position, at least a portion of the blocking portion is located on the movement path of the stop block, interfering with the stop block to prevent the handle from moving. When the stop block is in the unlocked position, the movement path of the stop block avoids the blocking portion, allowing the handle to move. This prevents the handle from sliding due to accidental contact, which could lead to the seal opening unexpectedly, preventing the hot soy milk inside the soy milk maker from flowing out and causing burns, thus improving the safety of the soy milk maker.

[0007] The drive assembly also includes an elastic unit that is elastically connected to the handle, giving the handle a tendency to slide toward the closed position of the sealing cap. When the user releases the handle, the sealing cap can automatically close, and the sealing cap has a certain pre-pressure after closing, preventing the sealing cap from leaking soy milk due to poor sealing, thus improving the reliability of the handle.

[0008] Preferably, the body is further provided with a sliding track, which is L-shaped and includes a first guide groove extending laterally and a second guide groove extending longitudinally. When the stop block slides left and right relative to the handle, the stop block slides in the first guide groove, so that the first guide groove guides the stop block, avoiding the stop block from getting stuck when sliding and improving the smoothness of the stop block's sliding. When the handle slides relative to the body, the stop block slides in the second guide groove. The second guide groove not only avoids the stop block but also guides the handle when it slides, improving the smoothness of the handle's sliding.

[0009] Preferably, the handle is provided with a first mounting groove extending along the first direction, and the stop block is symmetrically provided with first engaging portions on both sides. The first engaging portions are hook-shaped, and when the stop block is installed on the handle, the first engaging portions engage with the first mounting groove. By engaging the first engaging portions with the first mounting groove, the stop block can be installed and removed without tools, simplifying the installation and removal steps and improving the convenience of installation and removal. At the same time, the extension direction of the first mounting groove is the same as the first direction, which not only avoids the stop block but also provides secondary guidance for the stop block, further improving the smoothness of the stop block's sliding.

[0010] Preferably, the handle is symmetrically provided with second engaging portions on both sides, and the body is provided with a second mounting groove corresponding to the second engaging portions, the second mounting groove extending along the sliding direction of the handle; the second engaging portions are hook-shaped, and when the handle is installed on the body, the second engaging portions engage with the second mounting groove. By engaging the second engaging portions with the second mounting groove, the handle can be installed on the body without tools, simplifying the installation steps and improving the ease of installation; simultaneously, the extension direction of the second mounting groove is adapted to the sliding direction of the handle, providing secondary guidance during the sliding of the handle, further improving the smoothness of the handle's movement.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the handle has an upward-opening mounting cavity, the body has a cover corresponding to the mounting cavity, and the elastic unit is installed in the mounting cavity, with one end connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity and the other end elastically connected to the cover. By placing the elastic unit in the mounting cavity, accidental detachment of the elastic unit can be prevented, thus improving its reliability.

[0012] Specifically, the mounting cavity is further provided with a mounting post, and the elastic unit is sleeved on the mounting post. When the elastic unit undergoes elastic deformation, it is compressed or stretched along the mounting post, thereby aligning the direction of the elastic force provided by the elastic unit with the direction of movement of the handle. This reduces the risk of the handle getting stuck when sliding due to the elastic force generating components in other directions.

[0013] Preferably, the handle further includes an outwardly extending lifting portion, the bottom of which is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs. The outwardly extending lifting portion facilitates the user's application of force when lifting the handle, thereby improving the ease of use of the handle; at the same time, the reinforcing ribs also increase the rigidity of the lifting portion, thereby extending the service life of the lifting portion.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic unit is a compression spring.

[0015] Preferably, the block also includes an exposed information display section, which displays the unlocking information of the block, making it easier for users to understand the unlocking method of the block, thereby improving the ease of use of the block.

[0016] A soymilk maker includes a mixing chamber, a mixing blade inside the mixing chamber, and a discharge port communicating with the outside on the bottom side wall of the mixing chamber. It also includes the aforementioned anti-accidental opening structure.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model proposes an anti-accidental opening structure for a side-discharge soy milk maker and the soy milk maker itself. On the one hand, by using a handle to drive the sealing cover to open or close, it avoids the user's limbs from approaching the discharge port when opening the sealing cover, thereby avoiding the risk of scalding from splashing soy milk and improving the safety of the soy milk maker. On the other hand, by using a stop block to lock the handle, it prevents the handle from being accidentally opened, improving the safety of the soy milk maker and solving the problem of hot soy milk flowing out due to accidental opening of the soy milk maker's discharge port.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Example 1 like Figures 1-4As shown, an anti-accidental opening structure for a side-discharge soy milk maker is provided on the side wall of the soy milk maker body 1. The side wall of the soy milk maker has a discharge port, and a hinged sealing cover is provided at the discharge port. The structure includes a drive assembly for driving the sealing cover to rotate. The drive assembly includes a handle 2 that is kinetically connected to the sealing cover. The handle 2 is slidably connected to the body 1, and the handle 2 has at least two states to drive the sealing cover to open or close. By converting the sliding of the handle 2 into the rotation of the sealing cover, the structure prevents the user's limbs from approaching the discharge port when opening the sealing cover, thereby avoiding the risk of scalding caused by soy milk splashing and improving the safety of the soy milk maker.

[0022] In this embodiment, the handle 2 further includes an outwardly extending lifting portion 25, the bottom of which is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs. The outwardly extending lifting portion 25 facilitates the user's application of force when lifting the handle 2, thereby improving the ease of use of the handle 2; at the same time, the reinforcing ribs also improve the rigidity of the lifting portion 25, thereby extending the service life of the lifting portion 25.

[0023] The drive assembly also includes a stop block 3 slidably connected to the handle 2. A blocking part 13 corresponding to the stop block 3 is provided on the side wall of the body 1. The stop block 3 can slide relative to the handle 2 in a first direction and has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the stop block 3 is in the locked position, at least part of the structure of the blocking part 13 is located on the movement path of the stop block 3, interfering with the stop block 3 to prevent the handle 2 from moving. When the stop block 3 is in the unlocked position, the movement path of the stop block 3 avoids the blocking part 13 to allow the handle 2 to move, preventing the handle 2 from sliding due to accidental contact, which could lead to the sealing cover being accidentally opened, preventing the hot soy milk in the soy milk maker from flowing out and causing burns, thus improving the safety of the soy milk maker.

[0024] In this embodiment, the body 1 is also provided with a sliding track 11. The sliding track 11 is L-shaped and includes a first guide groove 111 extending laterally and a second guide groove 112 extending longitudinally. When the stop block 3 slides along the first direction, the stop block 3 slides in the first guide groove 111, so that the first guide groove 111 guides the stop block 3, avoiding the stop block 3 from getting stuck when sliding and improving the smoothness of the stop block 3 when sliding. When the handle 2 slides relative to the body 1, the stop block 3 slides in the second guide groove 112. The second guide groove 112 can not only avoid the stop block 3, but also guide the handle 2 when sliding, improving the smoothness of the handle 2 when sliding.

[0025] In this embodiment, the handle 2 is provided with a first mounting groove 21 extending along a first direction, and the stop block 3 is provided with first engaging portions 31 symmetrically on both sides. The first engaging portions 31 are hook-shaped. When the stop block 3 is installed on the handle 2, the first engaging portions 31 engage with the first mounting groove 21. By engaging the first engaging portions 31 with the first mounting groove 21, the stop block 3 can be installed and removed without the aid of tools, simplifying the installation and removal steps of the stop block 3 and improving the convenience of installation and removal of the stop block 3. At the same time, the extending direction of the first mounting groove 21 is the same as the first direction, which avoids the stop block 3 and also provides secondary guidance for the stop block 3, further improving the smoothness of the stop block 3 when sliding.

[0026] In this embodiment, the handle 2 is symmetrically provided with second engaging portions 22 on both sides, and the body 1 is provided with a second mounting groove 12 corresponding to the second engaging portions 22. The second mounting groove 12 extends along the sliding direction of the handle 2. The second engaging portion 22 is hook-shaped, and when the handle 2 is installed on the body 1, the second engaging portion 22 engages with the second mounting groove 12. By engaging the second engaging portion 22 with the second mounting groove 12, the handle 2 can be installed on the body 1 without the aid of tools, simplifying the installation steps of the handle 2 and improving the installation convenience of the handle 2. At the same time, the extending direction of the second mounting groove 12 is also adapted to the sliding direction of the handle 2, which can provide secondary guidance when the handle 2 slides, further improving the smoothness of the handle 2 when sliding.

[0027] The drive assembly also includes an elastic unit 4, which is elastically connected to the handle 2, so that the handle 2 tends to slide toward the closed position of the sealing cap. When the user releases the handle 2, the sealing cap can automatically close, and the sealing cap has a certain pre-pressure after closing, which prevents the sealing cap from leaking soy milk due to poor sealing, thus improving the reliability of the handle 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic unit 4 is a compression spring.

[0029] In this embodiment, the handle 2 has an upward-opening mounting cavity 23 at its top, and the body 1 has a cover corresponding to the mounting cavity 23. The elastic unit 4 is installed inside the mounting cavity 23, with one end connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity 23 and the other end elastically connected to the cover. By placing the elastic unit 4 inside the mounting cavity 23, accidental detachment of the elastic unit 4 can be prevented, thus improving its reliability.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting cavity 23 is further provided with a mounting post 24, and the elastic unit 4 is sleeved on the mounting post 24. When the elastic unit 4 undergoes elastic deformation, it is compressed or stretched along the mounting post 24, thereby making the direction of the elastic force provided by the elastic unit 4 consistent with the direction of movement of the handle 2, thus reducing the risk of the handle 2 getting stuck when sliding due to the elastic force generating other component forces in other directions.

[0031] In this embodiment, the block 3 also includes an exposed information display section 32, on which the unlocking information of the block 3 is provided, so that the user can understand the unlocking method of the block 3, thereby improving the ease of use of the block 3.
