Description

Food processing machine Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing food processing machines, such as the Chinese Utility Model Patent CN222055277U, entitled "Knife and Food Processing Machine Including the Knife," authorized on November 26, 2024, disclose a knife and a food processing machine including the knife. The knife includes a knife holder and a first cutting section disposed on one side of the knife holder. A scraping part extends downward from the outer side of the first cutting section. The key feature is that, viewed from above, a widened hook-shaped part is provided at the connection between the first cutting section and the scraping part. This knife, by adding a widened hook-shaped part to the first cutting section, allows the hook-shaped part to easily contact the food, making it easier for the food to be broken by the rotating hook-shaped part. Combined with the cutting action of the first cutting section, this significantly improves the cutting effect of the knife. Furthermore, when the knife is working, the scraping part can cooperate with the inner wall of the food processing machine to achieve scraping operation on the inner wall of the food processing machine, with good implementation effect. Technical issues

[0003] The food processing machine with the above structure still has the following shortcomings: (1) The scraping part mainly scrapes the lower part of the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. It cannot scrape the inner wall of the blade holder. In particular, some sticky ingredients tend to stick to the inner wall of the blade holder, affecting the subsequent juicing effect. Technical solutions

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a food processing machine that can scrape the inner wall of the discharge port of the cutter holder to reduce food residue on the cutter holder and improve the processing effect.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] A food processing machine includes a feeding cylinder and a blade. The feeding cylinder has an inlet and an outlet. A blade holder is located at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and the blade holder has a discharge port communicating with the outlet. The blade is rotatably mounted on the blade holder and has a first cutting section located above the discharge port. The machine is characterized by a scraper on one side of the blade, with one side of the scraper close to the inner wall of the discharge port. This food processing machine, by adding a scraper to one side of the blade, can scrape the inner wall of the discharge port of the blade holder, reducing food residue on the blade holder and allowing the remaining food to be fully processed in subsequent steps, thus improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, the scraper is synchronously driven to rotate by the blade, simplifying its operation and ensuring that the scraper does not interfere with the normal operation of the blade.

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

[0008] Specifically, the scraper includes a middle section and scraping sections and connecting sections connected to both sides of the middle section. The connecting sections are connected to one side of the cutter, and one side of the scraping section is close to the inner wall of the discharge port. The scraper performs scraping operation on the inner wall of the discharge port through the scraping sections and is connected to the cutter through the connecting sections. At the same time, the scraping sections and connecting sections are connected together through the middle section to ensure the overall strength of the scraper.

[0009] Specifically, the scraping section extends outward from one side of the middle section, and the thickness of the scraping section gradually decreases from the middle section to the direction of extension of the scraping section; the side of the scraping section with a smaller thickness has a certain degree of deformation, which facilitates the cooperation between the side of the scraping section and the inner wall of the discharge port to achieve a better scraping effect.

[0010] Specifically, a slot is provided on one side of the tool corresponding to the position of the connecting section. The connecting section is inserted into the slot from bottom to top, and the lower end of the connecting section abuts against the tool holder. This ensures that the lower end of the connecting section is restricted by the tool holder, achieving a stable connection of the connecting section on the tool. At the same time, this insertion connection method is relatively simple and convenient to operate.

[0011] Specifically, the tool holder includes a hollow base body, and a support section is provided on the upper part of the hollow base body. The support section divides the upper part of the hollow base body into two discharge ports. The tool is installed at the center of the support section, and the lower end of the connecting section of the scraper abuts against the support section. The hollow base body has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and form the discharge ports. At the same time, the support section provides a connecting carrier for the connecting section of the tool and the scraper.

[0012] Specifically, the scraper is made of a soft material. When the scraper passes through the support section, the lower end of the scraper section and the lower end of the middle section are in interference fit with the upper surface of the support section, so that the lower end of the scraper section and the lower end of the middle section can scrape the food residue on the upper surface of the support section to the discharge port.

[0013] Specifically, the tool includes a tool holder and a first cutting segment connected to the tool holder. The tool holder is installed at the center of the support section, and the connecting segment of the scraper is connected to one side of the tool holder, with the scraper located below the first cutting segment. This allows the scraper and the first cutting segment to operate independently, which is beneficial for their stable operation.

[0014] Furthermore, the cutter holder is also provided with a blocking part, the upper end of which is close to the lower end of the first cutter segment, and the lower end of which is close to the upper end of the scraper. On the one hand, the blocking part can cut the food stuck on the first cutter segment, which is conducive to the stable operation of the first cutter segment. On the other hand, the upper end of the scraper can also scrape off the small amount of food remaining on the blocking part, which is conducive to the stable operation of the scraper.

[0015] Specifically, it further includes a main unit and a juice-extracting tank. The juice-extracting tank is mounted on the main unit and contains a screw and a filter assembly. The filter assembly is located on the outer periphery of the screw, and a grinding space is formed between the filter assembly and the screw. The filter assembly includes an upper module and a lower module. The lower module is movably connected to the lower part of the upper module. There is a residue-juice filtration gap between the lower module and the upper module. The feed cylinder is mounted on the juice-extracting tank, and the discharge port of the cutter holder is located above the grinding space. The output part of the main unit extends from bottom to top into the juice-extracting tank and is connected to the screw. The food residue on the cutter holder is scraped to the discharge port by the scraper and finally falls into the grinding space of the juice-extracting tank for thorough grinding to improve the processing effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower end of the scraper extends downward into the grinding space, with its two sides approaching the upper inner circumference of the filter assembly and the upper outer circumference of the screw, respectively. This allows the lower extension of the scraper to scrape the food residue remaining on the upper inner circumference of the filter assembly and the upper outer circumference of the screw, ensuring that the food falling into the grinding space is thoroughly ground and improving the overall juice extraction effect. Beneficial effects

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

[0018] (1) This food processing machine has a scraper added to one side of the blade. The scraper can scrape the inner wall of the discharge port of the blade holder to reduce the residue of food on the blade holder and make the residual food fully processed by the subsequent process, thus improving the processing effect. In addition, the scraper is driven to rotate synchronously by the blade, which makes the scraper easy to drive and the scraper will not affect the normal operation of the blade.

[0019] (2) The scraping section with a smaller thickness has a certain degree of deformation on one side, which makes it easier for the scraping section to fit with the inner wall of the discharge port and achieve a better scraping effect.

[0020] (3) The lower extension of the scraper can also scrape the food residue on the upper inner circumference of the filter assembly and the food residue on the upper outer circumference of the screw, so that the food that falls into the grinding space is fully ground, and the overall juice extraction effect is improved.

Through the cooperation of the elastic clip 822 and the elongated locking hole 813, the connecting post 821 is relatively connected to the anti-detachment post 812, preventing the lower module 82 from detaching from the upper module 81. At the same time, the elongated locking hole 813 provides a guiding movement space for the elastic clip 822, which facilitates the guided movement of the connecting post 821 in the anti-detachment cavity 811.
