Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of stirring cutters, and in particular to a foldable stirring cutter.

BACKGROUND

A blender and juicer are food processing machines that can easily and quickly process and crush ingredients, especially to make juice, pulp, dry powder, dried fruits, crushed ice, and mincemeat according to personal preference. Therefore, freshness and nutrition of foods are ensured.

At present, a known multi-blade stirring cutter is manufactured by riveting a fixed blade and a blade fixing post. When stirring starts or during a stirring process, the fixed blade collides with a stirred material, but cannot countervail a lever force. When an impact point of the stirred material and the blade is located at a front end of the fixed blade, because the impact point is relatively far away from a support point of the fixed blade, a torque is longer. Therefore, a large lever force is generated. As a result, there are larger loads on the front end and the support point of the fixed blade, the blade is easy to be damaged. In addition, when the stirred material is relatively large, the fixed blade is easy to be jammed by the stirred material, and cannot operate normally. In daily life, stirred materials are in different sizes and shapes. Generally, a stirring cutter on the market is easy to be jammed by a large heterogeneous stirred material in a stirring process, causing difficulties for users, and user experience is poor. In view of this, the present invention provides a foldable stirring cutter.

SUMMARY

To overcome the disadvantages in the prior art and meet the demand of the reality, the present disclosure provides a foldable stirring cutter, to resolve technical problems that a fixed blade structure of a current stirring cutter is easy to be damaged in use by a lever force generated after collision with a stirred material, and is easy to be jammed by a large heterogeneous stirred material.

To achieve the above objective, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions. A foldable stirring cutter includes a base having a cutter assembly rotationally disposed at a top.

The cutter assembly includes a bearing component that is detachably disposed on an outer edge surface and a shaft.

The bearing component includes a bearing plate and at least two extension plates that are fastened to an outer edge surface of the bearing plate in a ring-shaped equidistant array. Two sets of force-controlled cutter components that are movably connected to the extension plates are disposed on the bearing component. Connection holes are provided inside the extension plates, movable connection assemblies that are used to movably connect the force-controlled cutter components to the extension plates are disposed inside the connection holes. The force-controlled cutter components deflect and unfold around axes of the movable connection assemblies under action of a centrifugal force, or the force-controlled cutter components deflect and fold around the axes of the movable connection assemblies under action of a lever force borne after collision with a stirred material.

Preferably, the force-controlled cutter component includes a cutter handle and a cutter body that are separately disposed and movably connected, the cutter handle is movably connected to the extension plate through the movable connection assembly, the cutter body is movably connected to the cutter handle through the movable connection assembly, and a blade portion II is formed at an outer edge surface of the cutter body.

Preferably, the movable connection assembly includes a through hole I provided in the cutter handle, and a rivet that is used to rotationally limit and fasten the force-controlled cutter component and the bearing component is disposed in the through hole I.

Preferably, the connection hole is an internally threaded through hole provided on the extension plate, the movable connection assembly includes a through hole II provided in the cutter handle, and an arc-shaped limiting groove that extends inside towards the cutter handle is provided in an inner wall of the through hole II.

Preferably, the movable connection assembly further includes a limiting rod that has a threaded portion and that is located on an outer edge surface at a bottom. A limiting block is disposed at a top of the outer edge surface of the limiting rod, and a threaded hole is centrally provided at a top of the limiting rod. A bottom of the limiting rod is connected inside the connection hole in a threaded manner, and the top of the limiting rod extends inside the through hole II. The limiting block is adaptively mounted in the arc-shaped limiting groove, and a limiting bolt of which one end is screwed in the threaded hole is disposed in the through hole II.

Preferably, ice crushing teeth are disposed at a corner of the extension plate, the ice crushing teeth are linearly distributed and disposed at an angular position of the extension plate, and a shaft penetrating hole through which the shaft passes is centrally provided inside the bearing plate.

Preferably, V-shaped short-shaft cutters are disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the bearing plate, the V-shaped short-shaft cutters are distributed in a cross, and a blade portion I is disposed on a lateral side of the V-shaped short-shaft cutters. A limiting base is disposed on the outer edge surface of the shaft, and the V-shaped short-shaft cutters are overlapped on the limiting base. A top of the shaft extends outside the V-shaped short-shaft cutter and the bearing component and has a threaded post. A locking bolt that is connected to the threaded post in a threaded manner and used to press and fasten the V-shaped short-shaft cutter and the bearing component to the limiting base is disposed outside the top of the shaft.

Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.

1. The bearing component, the force-controlled cutter component, and the movable connection assemblies are disposed, so that the cutter assembly generates a centrifugal force during rotation. The force-controlled cutter component is thrown out under action of the centrifugal force, to increase a stirring area after the force-controlled cutter component is unfolded, and fully stir the stirred material. When the stirred material is relatively large, the force-controlled cutter component is collided during rotation. If the lever force generated after collision is greater than the centrifugal force generated after rotation of the cutter assembly, the stirred material pushes the force-controlled cutter component to be contracted and folded along the axis of the movable connection assembly. If the lever force generated after collision is less than the centrifugal force generated after rotation of the cutter assembly, the force-controlled cutter component continues to stir in an unfold state under action of the centrifugal force. In addition, when a large heterogeneous stirred material is stirred, due to a folded state of the force-controlled cutter component can prevent the force-controlled cutter component from being jammed. Therefore, an operating state of the cutter can be adaptively switched based on the stirred material and a specific stirring environment. This is conducive to reducing damage to the cutter and prevent the stirred material from being jammed.

Refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6. Specifically, to crush ice during a mixing process, ice crushing teeth 305 are disposed at a corner of the extension plate 302, the ice crushing teeth 305 are linearly distributed and disposed at an angular position of the extension plate 302, and a shaft penetrating hole 303 through which the shaft 201 passes is centrally provided inside the bearing plate 301.

After the fixed blade is connected to a foldable cutter blade through the movable connection assembly 7, the foldable blade can be rotated horizontally to the right or left around the connection assembly 7 under an external force (for example, a centrifugal force/centripetal force).

When the fixed stirring cutter is mounted on a (for example, 380/390/540) shaft of a motor rotating at a high speed (for example, 10,000 to 20,000 revolutions per minute), the fixed stirring cutter rotates with the motor at a high speed. Therefore, a centrifugal/centripetal force is generated at an end of the fixed stirring cutter around the shaft of the motor. In this case, the foldable blade can be unfolded through the centrifugal/centripetal force.

When the foldable blade meets a large piece of food during rotation, resistance of the foldable blade is greater than the centrifugal force of the foldable blade, the foldable knife blade is instantly folded to avoid the large piece of food, and does not collide with the large piece of food. Therefore, the foldable knife is not jammed by the large piece of food.

When the motor does not rotate, the foldable blade is in a free state (either an unfolded state/a folded state or a half-folded state).

Refer to FIG. 2 to FIG. 6. To facilitate assembly and disassembly of a cutter assembly 2, V-shaped short-shaft cutters 4 are disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the bearing plate 301, the V-shaped short-shaft cutters 4 are distributed in a cross, and a blade portion I 5 is disposed on a lateral side of the V-shaped short-shaft cutters 4.

A top of the shaft 201 extends outside the V-shaped short-shaft cutter 4 and the bearing component 3 and has a threaded post, and a locking bolt 203 that is connected to the threaded post in a threaded manner and used to press and fasten the V-shaped short-shaft cutter 4 and the bearing component 3 to the limiting base 202 is disposed outside the top of the shaft 201. According to the present disclosure, the bearing component 3, the force-controlled cutter component 6 and the movable connection assembly 7 are disposed, to resolve technical problems that a fixed blade structure of a current stirring cutter is easy to be damaged in use by a lever force generated after collision with a stirred material, and is easy to be jammed by a large heterogeneous stirred material.

As shown in FIG. 10, the force-controlled cutter component has an effective cutting angle about 0° to 135°.

Working principle: During use, the cutter assembly 2 is driven by a motor inside the base 1 to rotate. A centrifugal force is generated while cutter assembly 2 rotates, and the force-controlled cutter component 6 is thrown out under action of the centrifugal force, to increase a stirring area after the force-controlled cutter component 6 is unfolded. The stirred material is fully stirred in cooperation with the V-shaped short-shaft cutter 4. When the stirred material is relatively large, the force-controlled cutter component 6 is collided during rotation. If the lever force generated after collision is greater than the centrifugal force generated after rotation of the cutter assembly 2, the stirred material pushes the force-controlled cutter component 6 to be contracted and folded along the axis of the movable connection assembly 7. If the lever force generated after collision is less than the centrifugal force generated after rotation of the cutter assembly 2, the force-controlled cutter component 6 continues to stir in an unfold state under action of the centrifugal force. If there is a large heterogeneous stirred material, the force-controlled cutter component 6 is in contact with the large heterogeneous stirred material, limited to be rotated, contracted and folded while the large heterogeneous stirred material is pushed, to prevent the force-controlled cutter component 6 from being jammed due to hard contact with the force-controlled cutter component 6. The ice crushing teeth 305 are disposed at the corner of the extension plate 302, so that ice can be crushed.
