Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to a stirring paddle for kitchen utensils. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen mixers and other food processors require a mixing paddle when they are in operation. Currently, the most commonly used mixing paddles are usually made of precision die-cast stainless steel. However, precision die-cast stainless steel is expensive and cannot scrape food from the bottom of the container for mixing, resulting in poor mixing performance. There is room for improvement in this area.

[0003] A mixing structure for a food processor is disclosed in patent document CN217723310U, which includes a mixing paddle. The mixing paddle includes a connector and a mixing part. The connector is located at one end of the mixing part, and the edge of the mixing part is set as a flexible part. The flexible part can produce elastic deformation. Even if the distance is too close during mixing, no metallic knocking sound will be produced. It not only provides a good user experience, but also gets close to the bottom of the mixing bowl to scrape up and mix the food at the bottom of the mixing bowl, thus improving the mixing effect.

[0004] However, this solution still has shortcomings. First, the mixing paddle still does not solve the problem of high cost of precision die casting of stainless steel. Second, the connector is detachably installed on the drive unit of the dough mixer or mixer. During operation, the metal connector is squeezed and collided with the drive unit, and metal fragments will fall off. In addition, since a large torque output is required when mixing dough, the drive unit usually needs to be equipped with a reduction gear set. Lubricating oil must be added to the reduction gear set. After long-term operation, the temperature of the reduction gear set will rise, the fluidity of the lubricating oil will increase, and it will be easy to flow down from the output shaft of the drive unit and fall into the food.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems of existing stirring paddles not being able to prevent lubricating oil or debris from falling into food and the high manufacturing cost of stirring paddles.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a stirring paddle for kitchen utensils, including a connector and a stirring frame. The connector is disposed at one end of the stirring frame and has a snap-fit ​​part. The stirring frame is formed by bending a metal strip. A flexible element is covered on the stirring frame. The flexible element extends towards one end of the connector and forms a receiving portion with a cross-sectional area larger than that of the snap-fit ​​part near the snap-fit ​​part.

[0008] The above structure features a mixing rack made of bent metal strips, which can be easily formed using a bending machine. The manufacturing process is simple and does not require mold opening costs, thus significantly reducing production costs. By incorporating a receiving tray, metal shavings or lubricating oil and other foreign objects will fall onto the tray, preventing them from mixing into the food and effectively ensuring food safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0011] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a kitchen mixing paddle includes a connector 1 and a mixing frame 2. The connector 1 is located at one end of the mixing frame 2 and has a snap-fit ​​part 11. The connector 1 is machined from metal, which is a mature existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0012] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the mixing rack 2 is rectangular, that is, a flat stainless steel strip is bent. When bending, the narrow side of the stainless steel strip is bent so that the wide side of the stainless steel strip comes into contact with the food. The contact area is large, which improves the mixing effect of the food.

[0013] The mixing rack 2 includes a heart-shaped main mixing part 21. In this embodiment, the heart shape is an approximate structure. In reality, the shape of the main mixing part 21 needs to match the shape of the container holding the food.

[0014] One end of the main mixing part 21 extends and is bent to form an L-shaped first connecting part 22; the other end of the main mixing part 21 extends and is bent to form an L-shaped second connecting part 23.

[0015] The first connecting portion 22 has a first short end 221 and a first long end 222; the second connecting portion 23 has a second short end 231 and a second long end 232.

[0016] The first short end 221 is welded to the second long end 232; the first long end 222 is welded to the main mixing part 21; the second short end 231 is welded to the main mixing part 21. With this arrangement, the mixing rack 2 forms a stable structure. When in use, the mixing rack 2 can stir food at different heights in the mixing bucket, which helps to reduce resistance and increase the uniformity of stirring.

[0017] Meanwhile, an opening 10 is provided at the bottom of the connector 1, into which the stirring rack 2 can be inserted. The connector 1 and the stirring rack 2 are also welded together. Through welding, the connector 1 and the stirring rack 2 form a stable whole.

[0018] The mixing rack 2 is made of bent metal strips. Due to the strong corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the mixing rack 2 is usually made of bent stainless steel strips. This process can be formed by bending machine, and the processing technology is simple. However, the existing technology for manufacturing the mixing rack 2 usually adopts the die casting method. Die casting requires mold opening first, and stainless steel material needs to be melted and die cast during production. This method has high energy consumption, complex process and high cost.

[0019] A flexible element 3 is wrapped around the mixing rack 2. The flexible element 3 extends towards one end of the connector 1 and forms a receiving portion 30 with a cross-sectional area larger than that of the locking portion 11 near the locking portion 11. The receiving portion 30 has a retaining ring 31 extending from the edge of the receiving portion 30 toward the locking portion 11.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the cross-section of the receiving portion 30 is circular. Of course, the cross-section of the receiving portion 30 can also be elliptical or polygonal. Preferably, the polygonal shape is a regular polygon with six or more sides, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the receiving portion 30 is a regular nonagon. The regular polygon design maximizes the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving portion 30, ensuring the effectiveness of catching foreign objects while also achieving a pleasing aesthetic.

[0021] The flexible component 3 has an outwardly extending scraping part 32 along the main mixing part 21; the thickness of the scraping part 32 is less than the thickness of the main mixing part 21. The scraping part 32 can be used to scrape food off the inner wall of the mixing container to ensure the mixing effect.

[0022] The flexible component 3 is made of food-grade silicone and is injection molded to coat the connector 1 and the mixing frame 2. To ensure the reliability of the connection and prevent gaps at the transition between the connector 1 and the flexible component 3, a groove 110 is provided on the connector 1 below the snap-fit ​​portion 11. The flexible component 3 extends into the groove 110 during injection molding. This design effectively increases the thickness of the flexible component 3 at the transition, allowing the flexible component 3 to more tightly coat the connector 1 and the mixing frame 2.

[0023] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connector 1 in the middle can be open or closed. Both of these forms are common and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0024] In this design, the mixing rack 2 is made of bent metal strips, which can be processed into shape using a bending machine. The processing technology is simple and does not require the cost of mold opening, which can significantly reduce production costs. By setting up a receiving plate 30, when mixing food, metal scraps or lubricating oil will fall onto the receiving plate 30 and will not mix into the food, which can effectively ensure food safety.
