This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application 202221341721.5 filed on May 31, 2022, the entire contents of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into the present application.
This invention relates to the technical field of daily life utensils, especially an electric grinder.
Since processed ground pepper, pepper salt, etc. available on the market differ greatly from freshly ground seasonings in flavor, an increasing number of consumers choose pepper grinders. By buying complete pepper particles and grinding them in a grinder, they can get natural and fresh ground pepper, pepper salt, etc.
Since the grinder is generally a small household device, the grinding chamber is generally small, and the pepper particles inside the grinding chamber need to be refilled after grinding, so it is necessary to design an electric grinder that can be easily refilled. The Chinese utility model with publication number of CN212015352U and publication date of Nov. 27, 2022 discloses a portable refillable grinder, where said grinding device comprises a grinding shell and a grinding chamber located in the upper part of the grinding shell, said top is provided with a filling chamber, the bottom of the filling chamber is provided with a filling pipe whose lower end extends and is connected with the grinding chamber. Due to the design of the filling chamber and filling pipe, the material can be quickly filled from the filling chamber and reach the grinding chamber through the filling pipe. The utility model also discloses that “a filling hole (2G) and a filling cover (2H) mounted on the filling hole (2G) are mounted on the side wall of said grinding chamber (2F). Said filling cover (2H) is provided with side stoppers (2K) on both sides, and the lower end of the filling cover (2H) is movably hinged to the lower part of the filling hole (2G)”.
In view of the small diameter of the filling pipe, such design may lead to blockage of the filling pipe, which is not convenient for filling, and the lower end of the filling cover is hinged with the lower part of the filling hole, so it is not easy to open and close the filling cover manually, which is inconvenient for the consumers.
What is needed is an electric grinder that addresses any of the shortcomings of the prior art discussed above.
This present invention provides an electric grinder with a filling cover which can be easily opened and closed, and is implemented by the following technical solution: An electric grinder comprising a shell, wherein said shell is provided internally with a grinding mechanism, a reducing mechanism and a power mechanism, and also comprises a grinding chamber; said grinding mechanism is set at one end of said grinding chamber, said power mechanism and said reducing mechanism are set at the other end of said grinding chamber, said grinding chamber is provided with a filling hole, and a chamber cover provided opposite to said filling hole, wherein the filling hole of said grinding chamber can be opened or closed by turning said chamber cover.
Such design has the following advantages: The filling hole of the grinding chamber can be easily opened or closed by turning the chamber cover, which is easy and convenient to operate. After the chamber cover rotates and closes the filling hole of the grinding chamber, the grinding chamber will be well sealed and no material will flow out easily.
Further, said chamber cover is provided with a snap, where said chamber cover is detachably connected to said grinding chamber through said snap.
Such design can ensure that the chamber cover will not fall off easily after the filling hole of the grinding chamber is closed by turning the chamber cover.
These and other aspects, advantages, and features of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and accompanying drawings, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation. Many changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit thereof. It is hereby disclosed that the invention includes all such modifications.
Reference numbers in the attached drawings: 1. shell; 2, grinding mechanism; 3. reducing mechanism; 4. power mechanism; 5. grinding chamber; 6. filling hole; 61. limiting part; 62. notch; 63. slot; 64. projection; 7. chamber cover; 71. snap; 72. recess; 73. annular edge; 74. rotating handle; 8. transmission shaft; 9. battery pack.
This invention is described further as follows by reference to the attached drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in

With reference to
With further reference to
Specifically, said projection 64 is an arc-shaped block, said recess 72 is an arc-shaped slot, and said snap 71 is provided with an arc-shaped portion at the end first in contact with said projection 64, which reduces the resistance of the projection 64 to the snap 71 and facilitates turning the chamber cover 7 to align the recess 72 with the projection 64.
With reference to
The rotating handle 74 is mounted above the chamber cover 7, and the chamber cover 7 can be rotated by turning the rotating handle 74, where the rotating handle 74 can be a solid structure or a hollow structure. Such design makes it easier to remove the chamber 7 from the filling chamber.
As a selected embodiment, please refer to
The electric grinder provided in this invention is so designed that the filling hole 6 of the grinding chamber 5 can be easily opened or closed by turning the chamber cover 7, which is easy and convenient to operate. After the chamber cover 7 rotates and closes the filling hole 6 of the grinding chamber 5, the grinding chamber 5 will be well sealed and no material will flow out easily, and the chamber cover 7 will not fall off easily.
The above detailed description is a specific description of feasible embodiments of the present patent. These embodiments are not intended to restriction the scope of the present patent, and any equivalent embodiment or change not deviating from the present patent is included in the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that for those ordinarily skilled in the art, some transformations and improvements can be made without departing from the conception of the present invention, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the attached claims.
It should also be understood that the components of the system and associated components may be made of any number of different materials and in many different shapes.
Additionally, it should be understood that the various inventive features described above can each be used independently of one another or in combination with other features.
It is appreciated that many changes and modifications could be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof. Some of these changes will become apparent from the appended claims. It is intended that all such changes and/or modifications be incorporated in the appending claims.
