Technical Field

[0002] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology for fruit and vegetable surface treatment, specifically relating to a fruit and vegetable peel treatment device. Background Technology

[0003] Existing fruit and vegetable peel processing devices on the market include a base, a container, a blade disc, and a lid. The container is mounted on top of the base, which is equipped with a drive mechanism. This drive mechanism is coupled to the blade disc installed inside the container via a channel between the upper end of the base and the container. The lid is detachably mounted on the upper end of the container and is used to open or close the container's interior. A discharge channel is located on the side of the container. To facilitate the tumbling of the fruits and vegetables and their discharge from the discharge channel, a guiding mechanism is required. One existing guiding mechanism involves a baffle wall fitted inside the container, with the two ends of the baffle wall staggered to form a guide opening connecting to the discharge channel. This solution requires users to install an additional large accessory, occupying more container space, resulting in a larger product size and higher material costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of this application is to solve the problem that the existing fruit and vegetable peel processing devices have a full-circle guiding mechanism, which occupies a lot of container space, resulting in large product volume and high material costs.

[0005] The fruit and vegetable peel treatment device with an improved feeding mechanism provided in this application includes: a container, a peeling component, a cover, a drive device, and a feeding mechanism. The container has a first rotating positioning part. The peeling component is detachably installed inside the container and includes a cutter disc and a shaft component located at the center of the cutter disc. The cutter disc has several discharge channels and blades disposed on the sides of the discharge channels. The cover is used to open and close the container. The drive device includes an electric drive mechanism for driving the peeling component to rotate. The feeding mechanism is designed as a non-circular closed partial structure, assembled on the side of the cutter disc, and includes a first feeding part for guiding the fruit and vegetables along the center of the cutter disc. By designing the feeding mechanism as a non-circular closed partial structure, specifically including the first feeding part, the problem of existing full-circle baffles occupying container space is avoided, the internal space layout of the container is optimized, thereby reducing product volume and material costs.

[0006] In some improvements, the central angle range of the container covered by the first guide section is no greater than 280 degrees. The local structure is further optimized to ensure that the guiding function is maintained while minimizing container space occupancy.

[0007] The central angle of the container covered by the first material guiding section is no greater than 180 degrees. This further makes the material guiding mechanism more compact, significantly reducing the space occupied inside the container and lowering material costs.

[0008] In some improvements, the feeding mechanism also includes a retaining edge constructed to engage with the container port, the retaining edge and the container port being positioned by one or more snap-fit ​​structures. Positioning via snap-fit ​​structures allows for quick and secure installation of the feeding mechanism without additional accessories, simplifying the assembly process and improving user convenience.

[0009] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap protrusion located at one of the snap-fit ​​edge and the container port, and a snap groove formed on the other to engage with the snap protrusion. The snap-fit ​​structure, including the snap protrusion and the snap groove, ensures the material guiding mechanism is securely installed and prevents loosening during operation.

[0010] In some improvements, the container port is constructed with a recess to accommodate the retaining edge, and the retaining structure is constructed on the retaining edge and the recess. The recess can further position the material guiding mechanism, and by accommodating the retaining edge, it avoids interference with the cap.

[0011] In other improvements, the material guiding mechanism further includes one or more vertically constructed first insertion parts, with one or more vertically extending communication ports correspondingly formed in the sidewall of the container. The material guiding mechanism is inserted into the first slots through the first insertion parts. This vertical insertion structure also improves user convenience while maintaining a compact structure and reducing space occupancy.

[0012] In other improvements, the feeding mechanism is installed on the underside of the lid. Utilizing the lid structure as a connector simplifies the container's structure and overall design, and the feeding mechanism can be easily removed while opening the lid, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0013] In some improvements, the feeding mechanism is installed on the underside of the cover via an insertion structure, which simplifies the assembly and facilitates disassembly, cleaning, or packaging and transportation.

[0014] In some improvements, the material guiding mechanism is installed on the underside of the cover via a connector, resulting in high stability and reliability of the connection.

[0015] In some improvements, the first guide section includes a concave curved surface, which can optimize the guiding path of fruits and vegetables, reduce motion resistance, and ensure that fruits and vegetables move smoothly along the center of the cutter head. In some other improvements, the first guide section includes an inclined surface, which can guide the smooth movement of fruits and vegetables and reduce jamming.

[0016] In some improvements, the container sidewall is constructed with a discharge channel, and the guiding mechanism is located on the side of the discharge channel with a second guiding section for discharging fruits and vegetables. When the drive device reverses the driving of the cutting component, the fruits and vegetables are discharged from the discharge channel under the action of centrifugal force and the second guiding section. By utilizing centrifugal force and the action of the second guiding section, fruits and vegetables are efficiently discharged, achieving automatic discharge and improving the user experience.

[0017] In some improvements, the cutter head has an upwardly extending retaining edge, and the first and second guide sections have corresponding clearance structures. These clearance structures prevent the fruits and vegetables on the cutter head from being too far from the first guide section, thus ensuring the reliability of the guiding function. In some improvements, the shaft component includes a first shaft component constructed on the upper side of the cutter disc, the first shaft component being at least partially constructed as a user gripping part, and a drive device disposed on the upper part of the cover. The cutting assembly is detachably coupled to the electric drive mechanism via the first shaft component. Because the edge of the cutter disc is provided with a retaining edge, fruits and vegetables are prevented from easily rolling off when removed directly from the cutter disc, reducing the risk of food falling and becoming contaminated or wasted, keeping the surrounding environment clean, and reducing subsequent cleaning hassles.

[0018] By placing the drive unit on the top of the cover, the overall structure is greatly simplified compared to the traditional base-mounted drive mechanism. This reduces the layout space of the base components, effectively reducing the size of the device. This not only reduces material costs in the manufacturing process but also reduces space occupation and transportation costs in the packaging and transportation stages. At the same time, the compact size makes it convenient for users to store the device.

[0019] In some improvements, the drive unit also includes a battery module and a circuit module including a control switch, which is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the battery module and the electric drive mechanism. The battery module provides portable power, eliminating the limitations of power cords, allowing users to use it anytime, anywhere, such as in the kitchen, at the dining table, or outdoors.

[0020] The battery module is a rechargeable battery, and the circuit module also includes a charging circuit. Users do not need to frequently change the battery; when the power is low, it can be charged using the accompanying device connected to the charging circuit, saving money and being environmentally friendly. In an alternative embodiment, the drive unit is connected to a power cord that is connected to mains power. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This application is most suitable for removing the skin of fruits and vegetables such as grapes, cherry tomatoes, and small tomatoes. The following describes some specific implementation methods of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings: See Figures 1 to 4A fruit and vegetable peel processing device includes: a container 1, a peeling component 2, a cover 3, and a drive device 4; the bottom of the container 1 is provided with a first rotating positioning part 101; the peeling component 2 includes a cutter disc 2.1 and a shaft member 2.2 disposed at the center of the cutter disc 2.1, the cutter disc 2.1 being used to process fruit and vegetable peels, and is provided with a plurality of discharge channels 2.10 and blades 2.11 disposed on the side of the discharge channels 2.10; the cover 3 is used to open and close the container 1; the drive device 4 is disposed on the upper part of the cover 3 and includes an electric drive mechanism 4.1; the lower end of the shaft member 2.2 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating positioning part 101, and the upper end is detachably coupled to the electric drive mechanism 4.1; the cutter disc 2.1 is provided with a plurality of discharge channels 2.12 and blades 2.11 disposed on the side of the discharge channels 2.12.

[0023] By placing the drive unit 4 on the top of the cover, the overall structure is greatly simplified compared to the traditional base-mounted drive mechanism. This reduces unnecessary component layout space and effectively reduces the size of the device. This not only reduces material costs in the manufacturing process but also reduces space occupation and transportation costs in the packaging and transportation process. At the same time, the compact size makes it convenient for users to store the device.

[0024] The blade 2.11 can be locked to the side of the discharge channel 2.10 by means of a connector such as a screw. The blade 2.11 is usually made of metal material, such as stainless steel, but it can also be any known metal material used to manufacture blades. In other embodiments, the blade 2.11 can also be made of other suitable materials, such as ceramic materials.

[0025] In some embodiments, the cutter head 2.1 is made of plastic material, such as through injection molding, which offers good economic efficiency and high consistency. Specifically, it can be made of resin materials such as PC, ABS, PCTG, and PP. The shaft component 2.2 can be made of PUM material or other existing and known suitable plastic materials. Compared to existing cutter heads made of metal, the cutter head 2.1 of this application has advantages such as good economic efficiency, low production cost, light weight, and high precision. Similarly, the shaft component 2.2 also has advantages such as good economic efficiency, low production cost, light weight, and high precision.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cutter disc 2.1 is made of a transparent material, such as transparent or semi-transparent (e.g., frosted, or translucent). Using a transparent material allows the user to easily observe the skins and liquids of fruits and vegetables at the bottom of the container 1 from above the cutter disc 2.1, enabling the user to monitor the collection status of these substances. Specifically, transparent resin materials such as PC, ABS, PCTG, and PP can be used, while semi-transparent (e.g., frosted, or translucent) materials are also known process features.

[0027] See Figure 4 , Figure 20 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 On the lower side of the cutter head 2.1, corresponding to the position of the screw 2.111 for mounting the blade 2.11, an integrally extended downward connecting boss 2.13 is constructed. The screw 2.111 is connected to the connecting boss 2.13. This design allows for a smaller overall thickness of the cutter head 2.1, while the downward-extending connecting boss 2.13 at the screw mounting position provides sufficient depth for the screw connection hole 2.101' without requiring the entire cutter head 2.1 to be hardened, ensuring the stability and reliability of the blade 2.11 connection. Furthermore, the connecting boss 2.13 can cover the lower end of the screw connection hole 2.101', making the product more aesthetically pleasing and providing a sealing effect.

[0028] Specifically, the screw connection hole 2.101' extends vertically from the upper surface of the cutter head 2.1 corresponding to the center of each connecting boss 2.13, and the screw 2.111 is threaded into the screw connection hole 2.101'.

[0029] like Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the cutter head 2.1 is constructed with a plurality of recessed countersunk platforms 2.10' for mounting the blades 2.11. The discharge channel 2.10 is constructed on the side of the countersunk platform 2.10', and the screw connection hole 2.101' is constructed on the countersunk platform 2.10'. The cutting edge of the blade 2.11 is higher than the upper surface of the cutter head 2.1. The construction of the countersunk platform 2.10' facilitates the quick positioning and installation of the blades 2.11.

[0030] In one embodiment, the drive device 4 includes a housing 4', and a first end 4.1' of the housing 4' (e.g., Figure 3 The lower end shown engages with the cover 3.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 37 In some embodiments, a raised portion 103 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of container 1, and the first rotary positioning portion 101 is constructed in the middle of the raised portion 103. With this structure, the distance between the cutter head 2.1 and the first rotary positioning portion 101 can be reduced, the swaying of the cutting component 2 can be reduced, and its working stability can be improved.

[0032] The raised portion 103 is formed by an upward indentation from the middle of the outer surface of the bottom wall of container 1, creating a structure where the middle of the inner surface of the bottom wall of container 1 is raised. Container 1 can be integrally molded from plastic material, such as through injection molding, using resin materials like PC, ABS, PCTG, or PP. The raised portion 103 is integrally molded with container 1. This structure, achieved through integral molding of plastic material, is economical and has a greater market pricing advantage.

[0033] In some embodiments, at least one sidewall of container 1 is transparent, such as transparent or semi-transparent (e.g., frosted, translucent), etc. Using a transparent sidewall makes it easier for users to observe the state of the fruit and vegetable skin, such as the processing progress and placement status, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, the container 1 is transparent as a whole, such as transparent or semi-transparent (e.g., frosted, translucent), which facilitates manufacturing and improves aesthetics.

[0035] Specifically, transparent resin materials such as PC, ABS, PCTG, and PP can be used, while semi-transparent (such as frosted or translucent) is also a well-known process feature.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In various embodiments, the drive device 4 and the cover 3 are detachably assembled. The cover 3 has a transmission hole 30 in the middle to avoid coupling between the electric drive mechanism 4.1 and the upper end of the shaft member 2.2. The drive device 4 and the cover 3 are detachable, which facilitates maintenance and replacement. In case of failure, they can be removed for inspection or replacement. The transmission hole 30 in the middle of the cover 3 not only ensures the transmission connection between the electric drive mechanism 4.1 and the shaft member 2.2, but also allows for direct or indirect auxiliary positioning of the upper part of the shaft member 2.2.

[0037] See Figures 2 to 4 In various embodiments, the upper end of the shaft member 2.2 extends to the transmission hole 30, and the electric drive mechanism 4.1 is configured with a drive joint 4.11 that is coupled to the transmission joint 2.21 at the upper end of the shaft member 2.2. The upper end of the shaft member 2.2 extends to the transmission hole 30, which can be used to assist in positioning the upper end of the shaft member 2.2 to facilitate connection with the electric drive mechanism 4.1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electric drive mechanism 4.1 includes a motor, and the output end of the motor is configured with the drive connector 4.11.

[0039] The drive connector 4.11 and the transmission connector 2.21 can adopt a shaft-hole transmission coupling structure. For example, the transmission connector 2.21 is constructed as a transmission hole, and the drive connector 4.11 is constructed as a drive shaft protrusion coupled with the transmission hole. The specific transmission hole and drive shaft protrusion can be a polygonal hole and shaft structure, a plum blossom-shaped hole and shaft structure, a D-shaped hole and shaft structure, or a commonly used and known detachable shaft-hole transmission coupling structure.

[0040] See Figure 3 In various embodiments, a circumferential positioning structure is constructed between the drive device 4 and the cover 3 to prevent the drive device 4 from rotating relative to the cover 3 during operation, thus ensuring stable power output. The circumferential positioning structure may include a positioning protrusion on the drive device 4 and a positioning groove on the cover 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cover 3 has a mounting cavity 300 in the middle that communicates with the upper surface, and the lower end 4.1' of the housing 4' of the drive device 4 is detachably mounted to the mounting cavity 300. With this structure, the drive device 4 can be quickly installed onto the cover 3.

[0042] A circumferential positioning structure can be constructed between the side wall of the mounting cavity 300 and the lower end 4.1' side wall of the outer shell 4'. Specifically, the lower end 4.1' side wall of the outer shell 4' is constructed with one or more vertically extending positioning grooves, and the side wall of the mounting cavity 300 is constructed with one or more corresponding positioning protrusions. When the driving device 4 is assembled to the cover 3, the positioning protrusions are inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, one or more vertically extending positioning protrusions may be constructed on the lower end 4.1' sidewall of the housing 4', and one or more positioning grooves may be constructed on the sidewall of the mounting cavity 300.

[0044] See Figure 5 In some other embodiments, the drive device 4 can be fixedly connected to the cover 3, such as by a tight fit (e.g., interference fit) or a connecting piece. The cover 3 has a transmission hole 30 in the middle to avoid coupling between the electric drive mechanism 4.1 and the upper end of the shaft member 2.2. Compared with a detachable connection, this can reduce the risk of loosening and lower the frequency of maintenance. Specifically, the lower end 4.1' of the outer casing 4' is connected to the cover 3 by screws.

[0045] In other embodiments, the lower end 4.1' of the outer shell 4' is an integral structure with the cover 3.

[0046] See Figure 12 In other embodiments, the cover 3 may be provided with a feeding channel 30' to facilitate the feeding of fruits and vegetables by users.

[0047] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, a feeding channel 30' is provided at the bottom of the assembly cavity 300. After disassembling the drive device 4, the user can feed fruits and vegetables into the container 1 through the feeding channel 30' without opening the cover 3. This solution integrates the feeding channel 30' at the bottom of the assembly cavity 300, resulting in a compact structure that does not affect the product's appearance. It eliminates the need to open the cover 3 for feeding, and the user does not need to consider the issue of placing the cover 3 before feeding, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0048] Specifically, the bottom of the assembly cavity 300 has a hollow structure, in which a transmission seat 301 is disposed. The transmission seat 301 has a transmission hole 30 in its center. The side of the transmission seat 301 is connected to the side of the assembly cavity 300 via several connecting beams 302. Adjacent connecting beams 302 form the feeding channel 30'. This design ensures the structural stability and reliability of the transmission seat 301 while also guaranteeing the cross-sectional size of the feeding channel 30', facilitating material feeding by the user.

[0049] See Figures 8 to 11 In other embodiments, the cover 3 has a cover hole 300', and a mounting sub-cover 6 is configured in the cover hole 300'. The mounting sub-cover 6 is used to open and close the cover hole 300'. The mounting sub-cover 6 has the transmission hole 30. The drive device 4 is detachably coupled to the mounting sub-cover 6. After the drive device 4 is removed, the user can directly feed the food through the cover hole 300' without opening the cover 3, which is convenient and quick. Of course, in some cases, fruits and vegetables can also be taken out of the container 1 through the cover hole 300'.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting sub-cover 6 has a limiting edge 6.1 along its edge. The limiting edge 6.1 engages with the edge of the cover hole 300 to fix the mounting sub-cover 6 relative to the cover hole 300. The limiting edge 6.1 engages with the cover hole 300 to position the mounting sub-cover 6, preventing it from slipping out of the cover hole 300 and ensuring that the mounting sub-cover 6 can stably support the drive device 4.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mounting sub-cover 6 is configured with the mounting cavity 300, and the lower end 4.1' of the housing 4' of the drive device 4 is detachably mounted to the mounting cavity 300. With this structure, the drive device 4 can be quickly installed onto the mounting sub-cover 6. A circumferential positioning structure between the mounting cavity 300 and the lower end 4.1' of the drive device 4 can be constructed between the sidewall of the mounting cavity 300 and the sidewall of the lower end 4.1' of the housing 4' to effectively position the drive device 4 and ensure that its output torque is fully applied to the cutting assembly 2.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting sub-cover 6 can be flipped around the rotation axis R and connected to the cover 3. This design facilitates the operation of the mounting sub-cover 6 for easy feeding. In addition, the large size of the cover hole 300 allows users to quickly and efficiently put in fruits and vegetables.

[0053] In one embodiment, the cover 3 is provided with a connecting seat R1, and the mounting sub-cover 6 is provided with a sub-cover connecting portion R2, which is hinged to the connecting seat R1, such as by a pin.

[0054] See Figures 10 to 11In some embodiments, the mounting cover 6 is equipped with a user control unit 6.2, which the user can use to perform the flip-cover operation by pinching the user control unit 6.2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the user control unit 6.2 is positioned relative to the rotation axis R. When the user control unit 6.2 is operated using this scheme, the force application efficiency is higher and the user operation is easier.

[0056] See Figure 12 In various embodiments, the feeding channel 30' can be separately located on the outside of the drive unit 4, allowing the user to feed materials without removing the drive unit 4. Alternatively, the user can flexibly feed materials through the feeding channel 30' during use.

[0057] See Figure 13 and Figure 14 as well as Figure 40 In other embodiments, the blade disc 2.1 has an upwardly extending retaining edge 2.1' at its edge, and the upper part of the shaft member 2.2 of the cutting component 2 is at least partially configured as a user gripping part. The user can lift the cutting component 2 upward from the container 1 for consumption by gripping the shaft member 2.2. Since the edge of the blade disc 2.1 is provided with a retaining edge 2.1', it can prevent fruits and vegetables from easily rolling off when they are taken out, reducing the risk of food falling and being contaminated or wasted, keeping the surrounding environment clean, and reducing subsequent cleaning troubles.

[0058] In some embodiments, the flange 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 are integrally molded from plastic materials, such as PC, ABS, PCTG, PP, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cutter head 2.1 and the retaining edge 2.1' are transparent, such as transparent or semi-transparent (e.g., frosted, translucent).

[0060] See Figures 15 to 17 In some embodiments, one or more deflecting portions 2.11' are constructed on the inner side of the baffle 2.1'. When the cutting component 2 rotates, the fruits and vegetables will move towards the baffle 2.1' under the action of centrifugal force. At this time, the one or more deflecting portions 2.11' will block the fruits and vegetables, causing them to flip over and thus changing the contact position between the fruits and vegetables and the cutting disc 2.1, increasing the probability that the untreated skin of the fruits and vegetables will contact the blade 2.11, thereby improving the processing efficiency and effect.

[0061] In some embodiments, the surfaces of one or more of the deflector portions 2.11' are arc-shaped, and they may include laterally arc-shaped deflector portions 2.111' arranged laterally along rotation and connected to the flange 2.1. This structure prevents fruits and vegetables from being easily damaged during collisions, maximizing their integrity.

[0062] In 15 to Figure 17 In the illustrated embodiment, five deflection sections 2.11' are provided. Of course, in other embodiments, one, two to four, or six or more can be provided as needed. However, too few deflection sections 2.11' will result in an insignificant deflection effect, while too many, or too small a distance between adjacent deflection sections, will also affect the deflection effect. The specific number can be selected based on the diameter of the cutter head 2.1.

[0063] In some embodiments, the one or more of the deflecting portions 2.11' and the flanges 2.1' are integrally formed, such as by injection molding.

[0064] See Figure 19 and Figure 20 In various embodiments where the cutter head 2.1 has an upwardly extending retaining edge 2.1', the retaining edge 2.1' is constructed with one or more side discharge channels 2.10' communicating with the outside. The side discharge channels 2.10' can assist in the discharge of residual peels and moisture that are not discharged from the discharge channels 2.10 in time, so as to prevent residual peels and moisture from accumulating on the retaining edge 2.1, so that the fruits and vegetables after peeling are dry and clean, improving the user's experience in use and consumption.

[0065] In some embodiments, the perimeter of the side discharge channel 2.10' extends along the edge 2.1', and its length can be 1-20 mm, such as 4-20 mm; in other embodiments, the length of the side discharge channel 2.10' is 5-15 mm.

[0066] The height of the side discharge channel 2.10' is 1-10mm, and in some other embodiments, the height of the side discharge channel 2.10' is 3-5mm.

[0067] See Figure 23 and Figure 24 In some embodiments, the side discharge channel 2.10' can extend along the height direction of the flange 2.1'.

[0068] In other embodiments, the height of the side discharge channel 2.10' is greater than its length.

[0069] See Figure 25 and Figure 26 In other embodiments, the retaining edge 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 are separate components. The retaining edge 2.1' can be connected to the cutter head 2.1 by a number of screws t1. For example, a first connecting hole t11 can be provided on the lower side of the retaining edge 2.1', and a corresponding second connecting hole (not shown) can be provided on the cutter head 2.1. The screws t1 pass through the first connecting hole t11 and are screwed into the second connecting hole to fix the two together.

[0070] The flange 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 adopt a separate structure, allowing for a wider range of material choices. In some embodiments, the flange 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 are made of different materials, such as the cutter head 2.1 being made of metal and the flange 2.1' being made of PC, ABS, PCTG, PP, etc. Of course, the materials for both can be selected according to needs, such as choosing the same material for both.

[0071] See Figure 27 and Figure 28 In other embodiments, the retaining edge 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 are separate, and the retaining edge 2.1' can be connected to the cutter head 2.1 through several fastening structures k.

[0072] One embodiment of the fastening structure k includes a snap fastener k1 disposed on the cutter head 2.1 and a corresponding snap hole k2 disposed on the retaining edge 2.1', wherein the snap fastener is inserted into the snap hole to achieve the connection between the two.

[0073] In other embodiments, the flange 2.1' and the cutter head 2.1 can be connected using other known assembly structures.

[0074] See Figure 19 and Figure 20 In other embodiments, the side discharge channel 2.10' is connected downward to the bottom wall of the cutter head 2.1. With the above structure, the side discharge channel 2.10' connects to the lower space of the cutter head 2.1, thereby ensuring that residual skin can be effectively discharged and avoiding being trapped between the inner wall of the container 1 and the baffle 2.1'.

[0075] In some embodiments, the side discharge channel 2.10' extends downward to connect with the bottom wall of the cutter head 2.1, so that the opening of the side discharge channel 2.10' connecting with the bottom wall of the cutter head 2.1 is large, which facilitates the downward discharge of the surface material.

[0076] See Figure 18 In some embodiments, the length of the blade 2.11 is d, where d is 40-60 mm.

[0077] See Figure 18 In some embodiments, the number of blades 2.1 is 5. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of blades 2.1 can be set to one or more as needed, such as 1, 2 to 4 or more.

[0078] In the appendix Figure 19 and 20 In the illustrated embodiment, five side discharge channels 2.10' are provided.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, there can be 1, 2-4, or 6 or more side discharge channels 2.10'. The more side discharge channels 2.10' there are, the better the side discharge effect, but the structural strength of the retaining edge 2.1' will decrease accordingly.

[0080] See Figure 19 and 20 In various embodiments, the side discharge channel 2.10' is a long strip groove arranged in the circumferential direction. With this structure, the residual skin can be more easily discharged from the side discharge channel 2.10' during the rotation of the removal component 2.

[0081] See Figure 19 and Figure 20 The height of the retaining edge 2.1' is 1mm-20mm, and in some embodiments, the height of the retaining edge 2.1' is in the range of 6-15mm.

[0082] In other instances, the height of the 2.1' flange ranges from 8 to 12 mm. Using this size range can prevent fruits and vegetables from rolling off when they are taken out, and also make it convenient for users to pour the fruits and vegetables into other containers.

[0083] See Figure 41 In some embodiments, a material guiding mechanism 5 needs to be configured on the cutter head 2.1. The function of the material guiding mechanism 5 is to guide the fruits and vegetables to tumble along the center direction of the cutter head 2.1, so that the fruits and vegetables continuously change the surface in contact with the blades 2.11, thereby improving the peeling efficiency.

[0084] The material of the material guiding mechanism 5 can be integrally injection molded from the material of the cutter head 2.1 or the container 1.

[0085] See Figure 22 In some other embodiments, the container 1 has a discharge channel 102 on its side wall. A guiding mechanism 5 is located on the inner end of the discharge channel 102 on the side wall of the container 1. In this case, the guiding mechanism 5 also serves as a fruit guide. When the drive device 4 reverses the rotation of the cutting component 2, the fruits and vegetables are discharged from the discharge channel 102 under the action of centrifugal force and the guiding mechanism 5. By configuring the discharge channel 102, the reverse rotation of the cutting component 2 and the guidance of the guiding mechanism 5 enable automatic fruit discharge, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene, and improving the user experience.

[0086] To address the issues of existing guiding mechanisms being entirely circular, occupying significant container space, resulting in large product volumes and high material costs, this application designs the guiding mechanism 5 as a non-circular, closed, localized structure. This avoids the problem of existing circular baffles occupying space in the container 1, optimizes the internal space layout of the container, thereby reducing product volume and lowering material costs.

[0087] like Figure 22 ,as well as Figures 41 to 43In the illustrated embodiment, since the feeding mechanism 5 is partial, this partial solution is economical, has low production costs, is easy to clean, and allows for greater utilization of the container 1. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a first feeding section 5.1 that guides the fruits and vegetables along the center of the cutter head 2.1, and a second feeding section 5.2 located on the side of the discharge channel 102 for discharging the fruits and vegetables.

[0088] See Figure 44 In some embodiments, the central angle β of the container 1 covered by the first guide section 5.1 is no greater than 280 degrees. Further optimization of the local structure ensures that the guiding function is maintained while minimizing container space occupancy.

[0089] See Figure 44 In other embodiments, the central angle β of the container 1 covered by the first guide section 5.1 is no greater than 180 degrees. This further makes the guide mechanism 5 more compact, significantly reducing the space occupied inside the container 1 and lowering material costs.

[0090] See Figure 42 and Figure 43 In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 further includes a retaining edge 5.3 that engages with the port of container 1, and the retaining edge 5.3 and the port of container 1 are positioned by one or more snap-fit ​​structures 5.4'. Positioning by snap-fit ​​structures 5.4' allows the material guiding mechanism to be installed quickly and securely without additional accessories, simplifying the assembly process and improving user convenience.

[0091] The snap-fit ​​structure 5.4' includes a snap protrusion 5.41' located on one of the snap edge 5.3 and the port of the container 1, and a snap groove 5.42' formed on the other to engage with the snap protrusion 5.41'. The snap-fit ​​structure 5.4', including the snap protrusion 5.41' and the snap groove 5.42', ensures that the material guiding mechanism 5 is securely installed and prevents it from loosening during operation.

[0092] Figure 42 and Figure 43 In the illustrated embodiment, the protrusion 5.41' is a circular protrusion formed on the surface of the container 1 port, while the slot 5.42' is a circular hole or groove formed on the edge 5.3. In some embodiments, the slot 5.42' extends through the edge 5.3 to facilitate user alignment and observation. Figure 42 and Figure 43 In the illustrated embodiment, two sets of snap-fit ​​structures 5.4' are constructed. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​structures 5.4' can be configured as needed. In other embodiments, the snap protrusions 5.41' and the slots 5.42 are of other shapes, such as polygons, ellipses, etc.

[0093] Figure 46 and Figure 47In the illustrated embodiment, the protrusion 5.41' is an elongated protrusion constructed on the surface of the port of container 1, while the slot 5.42' is correspondingly an elongated hole or groove.

[0094] See Figure 43 In some embodiments, the container 1 port is provided with a recess 15 for receiving the retaining edge 5.3, and the retaining structure 5.4' is constructed on the retaining edge 5.3 and the recess 15. The recess 15 can further position the material guiding mechanism 5, and by receiving the retaining edge 5.3, interference with the cover 3 is avoided.

[0095] Figure 50 and Figure 51 This is shown as another embodiment with a discharge channel 102.

[0096] See Figures 53 to 56 In other embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 further includes one or more vertically constructed first insertion portions 5.5, and the side wall of the container 1 is correspondingly constructed with one or more vertically extending communication ports, first slots 15.5, through which the material guiding mechanism 5 is inserted into the first slots 15.5. The vertical insertion structure also improves user convenience while maintaining a compact structure and reducing space occupation.

[0097] like Figure 53 and Figure 54 In the illustrated embodiment, the material guiding mechanism 5 has the first insertion part 5.5 on one end and a portion of the edge of the first material guiding part 5.1 on the other end. The side wall of the container 1 has a corresponding first slot 15.5 with a vertically extending connecting port. To prevent the first insertion part 5.5 and the first slot 15.5 from disengaging, they can be designed as an L-shaped structure.

[0098] like Figure 55 and Figure 56 In the embodiment shown, the material guiding mechanism 5 has the first insertion part 5.5 on both ends, the first material guiding part 5.1 is constructed between the two first insertion parts 5.5, and the side wall of the container 1 is correspondingly constructed with two first slots 15.5 with vertically extending connecting ports.

[0099] See Figure 22 , Figures 57 to 62 In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 is installed on the underside of the cover 3. It can be an integral structure, a split structure connected by connectors or other assembly structures. Using the cover 3 structure as a connector simplifies the structure of the container 1 and the overall design. Moreover, the material guiding mechanism 5 can be taken out at the same time as the cover 3 is opened, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0100] See Figures 57 to 59In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 is sheet-shaped, with a second insertion part 5.6 constructed on its upper end side, and a second slot 3.6 constructed on the lower side of the cover 3. The second insertion part 5.6 is inserted into the second slot 3.6 to connect the material guiding mechanism 5 to the lower side of the cover 3, and a first material guiding part 5.1 is constructed on one side adjacent to the middle of the cutter head 2.1.

[0101] Specifically, the second insertion part 5.6 and the second slot 3.6 can be interference-fitted and installed on the lower side of the cover 3 through the insertion structure. The assembly structure is simple and convenient for disassembly, cleaning or packaging and transportation.

[0102] See Figures 60 to 62 In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 is arc-shaped, with a second insertion part 5.6 constructed on its upper end side, and a second slot 3.6 constructed on the lower side of the cover 3. The second insertion part 5.6 is inserted into the second slot 3.6 to connect the material guiding mechanism 5 to the lower side of the cover 3, and a first material guiding part 5.1 is constructed on one side of the cutter head 2.1 adjacent to the middle of its two ends.

[0103] In other embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 5 is mounted on the underside of the cover 3 via a connector (such as a screw), resulting in high stability and reliability of the connection.

[0104] See Figures 41 to 47 In various embodiments, the first guide section 5.1 includes a concave curved surface, which can optimize the guiding path of fruits and vegetables, reduce motion resistance, and ensure that fruits and vegetables move smoothly along the center of the cutter head 2.1. See Figure 43 and Figure 44 In some embodiments, the first guide section 5.1 includes a concave curved surface, and the second guide section 5.2 includes a flat surface. The second guide section 5.2 is located at the end where the first guide section 5.1 is furthest from the side wall of the container 1, and the end of the first guide section 5.1 furthest from the second guide section 5.2 is adjacent to the side wall of the container 1. This design effectively optimizes the fruit and vegetable guiding path, reduces the accumulation of fruits and vegetables on the side wall of the container and the resistance to movement, and ensures that fruits and vegetables roll smoothly along the center of the cutter head 2.1.

[0105] The first guide section 5.1 is a concave surface with a single curvature. This design avoids inconsistencies in guidance caused by multiple curvatures, simplifies the manufacturing process, optimizes the guiding path of fruits and vegetables, reduces motion resistance, and ensures that fruits and vegetables roll smoothly along the center of the cutter head 2.1.

[0106] When the drive device 4 drives the cutting component 2 clockwise, the fruits and vegetables are driven to move clockwise. When they reach the first guide section 5.1, they are guided to the middle. When the drive device 4 drives the cutting component 2 counterclockwise, the fruits and vegetables are driven to move clockwise and counterclockwise. Under the action of centrifugal force and the second guide section 5.2, the fruits and vegetables are discharged from the discharge channel 102.

[0107] See Figure 48and Figure 49 ,as well as Figure 52 In other embodiments, the first guide section 5.1 includes an inclined surface, which can guide the smooth movement of fruits and vegetables and reduce jamming.

[0108] In some embodiments, the cutter head 2.1 has an upwardly extending retaining edge 2.1' at its edge, and the first guide part 5.1 and the second guide part 5.2 have a clearance structure corresponding to the retaining edge 2.1'. The clearance structure is constructed to prevent the fruits and vegetables on the cutter head 2.1 from being too far from the first guide part 5.1 and thus unable to make contact, ensuring the reliability of the guiding function.

[0109] See Figures 45 to 47 In the illustrated embodiment, the container 1 has a discharge channel 102 on its side wall. The guiding mechanism 5 has a second guiding section 5.2 located on the side of the discharge channel 102 for discharging fruits and vegetables. When the driving device 4 drives the cutting component 2 in the reverse direction, the fruits and vegetables are discharged from the discharge channel 102 under the action of centrifugal force and the second guiding section 5.2. By utilizing centrifugal force and the action of the second guiding section 5.2, fruits and vegetables are efficiently discharged, achieving automatic discharge and improving the user experience.

[0110] In other embodiments, the cutter head 2.1 has an upwardly extending retaining edge 2.1' at its edge, and the first guide part 5.1 and the second guide part 5.2 have a clearance structure (not shown) corresponding to the retaining edge 2.1'. The clearance structure prevents the fruits and vegetables on the cutter head 2.1 from being too far from the first guide part 5.1, thus ensuring the reliability of the guiding function. See Figures 36 to 39 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the fruit from falling accurately into the holding container (such as a plate) when it is discharged, the discharge channel 102 extends downward. This allows the outer wall 1024' of the discharge channel 102 to block and slow down the fruit and vegetables thrown out from the cutter head 2.1, so that they can fall accurately into the holding container.

[0111] See Figures 36 to 39 In some embodiments, the container 1 is integrally injection molded, and its side wall is constructed with a discharge port 1021. The discharge port 1021 is constructed with an outwardly extending engaging protrusion 1021', which is sleeved with a discharge pipe fitting 102'. The end of the discharge pipe fitting 102 extends downward, and the interior of the discharge pipe fitting 102 and the discharge port 1021 constitute the discharge channel 102. This modular manufacturing facilitates the production of the container 1 and the manufacturing of the discharge pipe fitting 102.

[0112] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe 102 is bent downwards as a whole, and includes an inner wall 1025' and an outer wall 1024' disposed opposite to each other, and a side wall 1026 connecting the two sides of the inner wall 1025' and the outer wall 1024'. The inner wall 1025' has a larger curvature and a shorter length than the outer wall 1024, which causes the discharge pipe 102' to bend downwards. The enclosure of the inner wall 1025', the outer wall 1024' and the side wall 1026 forms a discharge pipe 1022 with a discharge pipe connection end 10221 and a discharge port 10222. The discharge pipe 1022, the discharge port 1021 and the internal space of the connecting convex wall 1021 constitute the discharge channel 102. Since the discharge pipe 102' is bent downwards, the discharge port 10222 is arranged downwards. On the other hand, since the inner wall 1025' has a larger curvature and shorter length than the outer wall 1024, the outer wall 1024 can block the radial extension direction of the discharge port 1021, thereby effectively blocking and slowing down the fruits and vegetables thrown out of the discharge port.

[0113] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe 102' is injection molded.

[0114] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe 102' is made of the same material as the container 1.

[0115] In some embodiments, the engaging convex wall 1021 extends radially outward, a design that facilitates injection molding of the container 1.

[0116] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe 102' and the engagement protrusion 1021 are friction-fitted, such as an interference fit.

[0117] In other embodiments, the discharge pipe 102' and the engagement protrusion 1021 are fixed with an adhesive.

[0118] In other embodiments, the discharge pipe 102' and the joining convex wall 1021 are ultrasonically welded.

[0119] See Figures 29 to 31 In some embodiments, the lower side of the cutter head 2.1 is provided with a plurality of legs 2', the lower ends of which extend to or below the lower end of the shaft member 2.2 and do not contact the bottom wall of the container 1. The plurality of legs 2' can be used to place the cutting component 2 after it is removed from the container 1, so that the cutting component 2 can be used for temporary holding of fruits and vegetables.

[0120] like Figures 29 to 31 In the illustrated embodiment, three legs 2' are configured; however, in other embodiments, the number of legs 2' can be configured as needed.

[0121] The plurality of legs 2' can be manufactured integrally with the cutter head 2.1, such as by injection molding, which results in high precision. Of course, in other embodiments, the legs 2' can also be manufactured separately and connected by methods such as ultrasonic welding.

[0122] In various embodiments, the drive device 4 further includes a battery module 4.2 and a circuit module e including a control switch e1, the circuit module e being directly or indirectly electrically connected to the battery module 4.2 and the electric drive mechanism 4.1. The battery module 4.2 provides portable power, eliminating the limitation of power cords, allowing users to use it anytime in places such as the kitchen, dining table, or outdoors. The control switch e1 can be specifically configured on the upper part of the housing 4', such as the top, which is more convenient for user operation. Of course, it can also be configured on the side of the housing 4'.

[0123] In some embodiments, the battery module 4.2 is a rechargeable battery, and the circuit module e further includes a charging circuit, which includes a charging interface e2 with a housing 4'. Users do not need to frequently replace the battery; when the battery is low, they can simply connect the accessory device to the charging interface e2 to charge it, saving money and being environmentally friendly. In an alternative embodiment, the drive unit 4 is connected to a power cord that is connected to the mains power supply. This solution directly uses the mains power supply. It is understood that the drive unit 4 is equipped with a corresponding transformer circuit, which is a well-known technical means, similar to the solution of connecting the mains power supply to the meat grinder host with a power cord.

[0124] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this application should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this application.
