Description

Juice barrel structure of food processor TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processors, in particular to a juice barrel structure of a food processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing juice barrel of the food processor is seen in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 2021231549256, entitled "Improved structure of juice barrel of food processor", authorized on May 27, 2022, which includes a juice barrel and a touch lever. The juice barrel has a through hole, and the touch lever has a touch end. The touch lever is movably arranged on the juice barrel, and the touch end extends out of the through hole. The feature is that it also includes a resilient return member. The touch lever also extends a pressing arm. One end of the resilient return member abuts the juice barrel, and the other end is pressed by the pressing arm. The improved structure of the juice barrel of the food processor has the pressing arm extending from the touch lever and pressing the resilient return member, so that the resilient return member is arranged on one side of the touch lever. That is, the resilient return member is not directly sleeved on the touch end of the touch lever, so it does not affect the size of the through hole through which the touch end passes. The space where the resilient return member is located can be selected according to the need to use a resilient return member with a larger outer diameter, which can significantly improve the reset effect without changing the size of the through hole. TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0003] The juice barrel of the above structure still has the following disadvantages: (1) The residue discharge pipe is integrated with the juice barrel, so when the residue discharge channel inside the residue discharge pipe needs to be cleaned, special tools are needed to clean the inside of the residue discharge pipe, which is troublesome and difficult to clean thoroughly; (2) The screw and the transmission shaft thereon are firmly installed on the juice barrel, so when the user needs to clean the screw, the feed hopper needs to be removed first, and then the transmission shaft on the screw can be removed for cleaning. It is laborious to remove the screw and the transmission shaft. TECHNICAL SOLUTION

[0004] The present application aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and provide a juice barrel structure of a food processor which is convenient to clean the residue discharge pipe and has high cleaning efficiency, and also facilitates the user to remove the screw.

[0005] The purpose of the present application is achieved as follows:

[0006] A juice dispensing tank structure for a food processing machine includes a juice dispensing tank, a filter screen, and a screw. The juice dispensing tank has a juice dispensing chamber, a slag discharge port communicating with the juice dispensing chamber, and a juice discharge port. The bottom of the juice dispensing tank also has a through hole communicating with the juice dispensing chamber. The screw is placed inside the filter screen and mounted together in the juice dispensing chamber, with one end of the drive shaft on the screw passing downwards through the through hole. The machine is characterized by further including a slag discharge pipe. One end of the slag discharge pipe near the through hole has a slag inlet, a rotating part, and a pushing part. The other end of the slag discharge pipe has a slag discharge port. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the bottom of the juice dispensing tank. The slag outlet and the slag discharge outlet are connected, and the pushing part is located near one end of the drive shaft. In the juice tank structure of this food processor, the slag discharge pipe is rotatably connected to the juice tank through a rotating part. When it is necessary to clean the slag discharge pipe, simply flip the slag discharge pipe to open it, thereby achieving cleaning of the slag discharge pipe without the need for special tools. Its cleaning operation is simple and the cleaning effect is high. Furthermore, during the flipping of the slag discharge pipe, the pushing part on the slag discharge pipe can push the drive shaft located on the through hole, thereby causing the screw and the drive shaft to move upward and loosen, making it convenient for users to remove the screw from the juice tank for cleaning with minimal effort.

[0007] The objective of this invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0008] Specifically, a pushing block extends outward from one end of the slag discharge pipe, forming the pushing part. An arc-shaped clearance part is opened on the pushing block at the position corresponding to the outer periphery of the transmission shaft. The arc-shaped clearance part is close to the outer periphery of the transmission shaft. The arc-shaped clearance part provides clearance space for the pushing block, so that the pushing block will not affect the normal connection between the transmission shaft and the external transmission mechanism. At the same time, when the slag discharge pipe moves, the pushing block can also effectively push the transmission shaft and screw to move.

[0009] Specifically, the pushing block is provided with the rotating part, the slag inlet is located on one side of the pushing block, the slag outlet is located on one side of the through hole, the rotating part is connected to the bottom of the juice tank located on the outer periphery of the through hole, and the rotating part is located between the slag outlet and the through hole; so that the slag inlet and the slag outlet correspond, the pushing part corresponds to the drive shaft located on the through hole, and the rotating part is located between the slag outlet and the through hole, so that the rotating part, the slag inlet, and the pushing block are adjacent to each other and the structure is compact, and the slag outlet and the through hole are adjacent to each other and the structure is compact, and the implementation effect is good.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating shaft fixing assembly. The rotating part is a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft fixing assembly is connected to the bottom of the juice container near the through hole. The rotating shaft fixing assembly is provided with two shaft holes. The two ends of the rotating shaft extend into the corresponding shaft holes respectively. The structure of the rotating shaft and the shaft holes is simple and easy to implement. At the same time, the operation of the two together is simple and convenient, making it convenient for users to operate.

[0011] Specifically, the rotating shaft fixing assembly includes an upper fixing member and a lower fixing member. The upper fixing member has two upper notches, and the lower fixing member has two lower notches. The lower fixing member is fixed to the bottom of the juice container near the through hole, and the upper fixing member is fixed to the lower fixing member. The upper and lower notches together form the shaft hole. The upper and lower notches together forming the shaft hole is more conducive to the rotation of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Specifically, a connecting post with a connecting screw hole is provided on the juice container near the through hole. A lower through hole is opened on the lower fixing member corresponding to the position of the connecting screw hole, and an upper through hole is opened on the upper fixing member corresponding to the position of the lower through hole. A connecting screw passes through the upper through hole and the lower through hole in sequence and then connects to the connecting screw hole; so that the upper fixing member and the lower fixing member can be stably connected to the juice container by the connecting screw.

[0013] Furthermore, the slag discharge pipe is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part located between the slag inlet and the slag outlet, and a second snap-fit ​​part is provided at the bottom of the juice outlet corresponding to the position of the first snap-fit ​​part. The first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part are engaged. Through the cooperation of the first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part, the slag discharge pipe can be fixed or opened on the juice outlet. Its structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0014] Specifically, the slag discharge pipe is provided with a first locking block, which constitutes the first locking part. The juice outlet is provided with a detachable locking seat, and the locking seat is provided with a second locking block, which constitutes the second locking part. The abutting ends of the first locking block and the second locking block are both provided with arc-shaped surfaces. The interlocking arc-shaped surfaces not only facilitate the user to flip and open the slag discharge pipe, but also ensure the stability of the locking of the first locking block and the second locking block. Furthermore, the locking seat is detachable, so that the user can replace the locking seat and the second locking part with the appropriate size of the slag discharge pipe and the first locking part.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing element, with a sealing element groove provided next to the slag inlet of the slag discharge pipe. The sealing element is embedded in the sealing element groove and abuts against the periphery of the slag discharge outlet of the juice tank; so that the juice is less likely to leak out of the slag discharge outlet and the sealing performance of the slag discharge outlet is improved.

[0016] Specifically, the sealing element is a silicone component, which includes a central blocking block and a surrounding block. The surrounding block is disposed around the central blocking block, and there is a gap between the surrounding block and the central blocking block. The surrounding block is embedded in the sealing element groove, and the central blocking block abuts against the slag discharge port. The silicone component facilitates the food residue on the slag discharge port to push the central blocking block, so that the food residue can enter the slag discharge pipe and finally be discharged through the slag outlet of the slag discharge pipe. At the same time, the sealing element is stably installed on the sealing element groove by the surrounding block. Furthermore, the gap facilitates the independent and stable operation of the surrounding block and the central blocking block. Beneficial effects

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0018] The juice dispensing tank of this food processor features a rotatable connection between the slag discharge pipe and the dispensing tank via a rotating part. When cleaning the slag discharge pipe is required, simply flipping it over opens it for easy cleaning without the need for special tools. The cleaning operation is simple and achieves a high level of cleanliness. Furthermore, during the flipping process, the pushing part on the slag discharge pipe pushes the drive shaft located in the through hole, causing the screw and drive shaft to move upwards and loosen, making it easy for users to remove the screw from the juice dispensing tank for cleaning.

[0019] The arc-shaped clearance section provides clearance space for the push block, ensuring that the push block does not affect the normal connection between the drive shaft and the external transmission mechanism. At the same time, when the slag discharge pipe moves, the push block can also effectively push the drive shaft and screw to move.

[0020] This arrangement ensures that the slag inlet corresponds to the slag outlet, the pushing part corresponds to the drive shaft located on the through hole, and the rotating part is located between the slag outlet and the through hole. This makes the rotating part, the slag inlet, and the pushing block adjacent to each other, resulting in a compact structure. The slag outlet and the through hole are also adjacent to each other, resulting in a compact structure and a good implementation effect. Attached Figure Description
