TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a transmission system, particularly to a non-electric pull type transmission system.
BACKGROUND ART
An existing pull type transmission system is mainly composed of a single round block or a plurality of coaxial round blocks with different diameters that are pieced together, and can be used in a manual pull type food chopping processor. A common manual pull type food chopping processor has only a single output mode. When the transmission ratio needs to be changed, for example when the torque, acceleration and deceleration are changed, the pull type transmission system composed of a plurality of round blocks that are pieced together will adjust the gears through a shift lever to achieve gear shift.
The foregoing existing pull type transmission system has at least the following disadvantages:
The output transmission ratio cannot be adjusted conveniently at any time.
For example, in a food chopper, when larger and harder food is cut in the beginning, a larger force is required instead of a higher speed, but when some small food is cut, a higher speed is required.
Some existing food choppers cannot change the transmission ratio. Even if the transmission ratio is changeable in some equipment, it is necessary to stop the pulling and adjust the structure (such as the positions of the gears or the coaxial round blocks) before it can be used continuously and it is impossible to use continuous actions to process the food, causing inconvenience in use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention discloses a pull type transmission system, which comprises a pull mechanism 1, the pull mechanism 1 at least comprises a coaxial column, the coaxial column is formed by connecting rotary discs 11 with different diameters, and planes connecting the rotary discs 11 with different diameters are connecting faces 12.
The pull mechanism 1 is provided with a rope tying position 2, the rope tying position 2 is arranged on a side face of the pull mechanism 1, and the pull rope 3 is connected to the pull mechanism 1 through the rope tying position 2 at one end and is wound around the rotary discs 11; and the pull mechanism is connected to a resilience mechanism 4 providing a resilience force and is used for retracting the pull rope 3 after the pull rope 3 is pulled out.
The resilience mechanism here generally can be a coil spring (tension spring) and is arranged above or below the pull mechanism (in this embodiment, the resilience mechanism is below the pull mechanism). The resilience mechanism is a common existing structure. In the present invention, in the initial state the pull rope is wound around the rotary discs and the coil spring is in a slack state; after the pull rope is pulled out, the coaxial column rotates, and the coil spring becomes in a tightened state; after the pull rope is released, the coil spring resumes a slack state due to the effect of its own elastic force, in other words, the pull rope is provided with a resilience force to drive the rotary discs to rotate and re-wind the pull rope around the rotary discs. Due to the different diameters of the rotary discs, the pull rope can be pulled diagonally upward or downward during use. When the pull rope rebounds after being pulled out, the pull rope can be freely wound around the rotary discs with different diameters. When the pull rope is pulled again, because the distance between the pull rope and the axis is different, different torques can be generated, which leads to different twisting forces and speeds under different rotation modes.
In a preferred embodiment, the coaxial column is formed by connecting two rotary discs 11 with different diameters, as shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1c, where the upper rotary disc 11 has a larger diameter and the lower rotary disc 11 has a smaller diameter. The upper rotary disc with a larger diameter can output a greater power, and the lower rotary disc with a smaller diameter can output a higher speed. Alternatively, the upper rotary disc can have a smaller diameter and the lower rotary disc can have a larger diameter. Considering ergonomics, the downward/horizontal pulling action is more suitable for high-speed rotation, so it is preferred that the lower rotary disc has a smaller diameter and the upper rotary disc has a larger diameter. As shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b, when being pulled downward, the pull rope is fixed on the rotary disc with a smaller diameter and brings out a higher-speed rotation output. As shown in FIG. 1c and FIG. 1d, when being pulled upward, the pull rope is fixed on the rotary disc with a larger diameter and brings out a larger-torque rotation output.
The rope tying position 2 may be arranged adjacent to the connecting face 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the rope typing position is arranged on the lower rotary disc 11 and adjacent to the connecting face. Of course, the rope typing position may also be arranged on the upper rotary disc and adjacent to the connecting face. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4a to FIG. 4c, the connecting face 12 may also extend outward and be provided with flange 121 slightly protruding outward. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4a to FIG. 4c, the rope tying position 2 may be arranged on the flange 121. These structures all can achieve upward or downward pull of the pull rope, so that the pull rope 3 is wound around the corresponding rotary disc, and the slightly protruding structure of the flange can help tighten the pull rope when the pull rope is retracted, and can also help the pull rope to shuttle smoothly through parts of different diameters. FIG. 4a to FIG. 4c show two different rope tying positions, and the pull rope can be fixed to the corresponding rope tying position according to requirements.
As shown in FIG. 2, in order to better retract the pull rope 3, the rope tying position 2 can be a structure that runs through the rotary discs 11, and forms a through slot 21 inside the rotary discs 11, and one end of the pull rope 3 is connected to one end of the slot, and the other end of the pull rope passes through the slot 21 and sticks out of the rotary discs 11. In this figure, the pull rope and the rope tying position are both arranged on the lower rotary disc. In addition, the rope tying position 2 can also be arranged inside the rotary discs 11, one end of the pull rope 3 is connected to the rope tying position 2 inside the rotary discs 11, and the other end of the pull rope sticks out of the rotary discs 11.
In actual use, the foregoing pull type transmission system is generally used in a food processor.
The present invention further discloses a food processor. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the food processor comprises the foregoing pull type transmission system, the pull mechanism 1 is connected to a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is connected to a food processing device that is operated in a rotating manner. The pull mechanism drives the transmission mechanism through rotation, and the transmission mechanism then drives the food processing device. The transmission mechanism can be an ordinary transmission shaft 5. The rotation of the pull mechanism drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, thereby further driving the food processing device. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, it can be a transmission shaft 5 with a one-way gear set 6, and the transmission shaft 5 is connected to a food processing device. When the coil spring drives the pull mechanism to rotate back, the coil spring will not transmit the rotating power to the transmission shaft, so that the transmission shaft continues to rotate according to inertia, without affecting the operation of the food processing device. The food processing device here can be any existing device that achieves the corresponding functions by means of rotation, for example, a chopper, an agitator or a dehydrator, as shown in the figure, which is a schematic structural view of a container with a food processing device. The transmission structure of this transmission shaft, the transmission structure combined with a one-way gear set, and the structure and function of the corresponding food processing device are all prior art structures and products, and can be implemented by those of ordinary skill in the art.
The food processor according to the present invention is further provided with a bottom cover 7, a non-slip mat 71 can be arranged under the bottom cover, and the center of the bottom cover 7 is connected to a resistance mechanism 4. Here, the resistance mechanism 4 is a tension spring (coil spring), and the bottom cover 7 is connected to the pull mechanism 1. The pull mechanism 1 is sheathed with an upper cover 8 that covers the pull mechanism 1. The upper cover 8 comprises a top surface 81 at the top and a side wall 82 on the side face. The upper part of the transmission shaft 5 passes through the top surface 81 of the upper cover and is connected to the food processing device. The lower edge of the wall 82 is connected to the bottom cover 7, and the side wall 82 of the upper cover 8 is provided with a guide groove 83 allowing the tying rope to pass through, as shown in FIG. 7. The guide groove 83 is arranged at same level with the rope tying position 2 (as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3). The guide groove 83 is a longitudinal guide groove, and the length of the guide groove 83 spans the rotary discs 11 with different diameters. Accordingly, the outer end of the pull rope 3 is connected to a handle 31, and the length of the handle 31 is greater than the length of the longitudinal guide groove 83. As shown in FIG. 1b and FIG. 1d, the handle 31 can be used to pull the pull rope more conveniently and comfortably, the guide groove 83 may also play a role in limiting the pull rope, and the handle 31 can be stuck on the outside of the guide groove 83 after the pull rope 3 rebounds.
As shown in FIG. 6, which is an exterior structural schematic view of a food processor according to the present invention, the upper cover contains a pull type transmission system, and the food processing device is connected above the upper cover. The structure internally has a blade and a stirring tool in general and externally is a transparent or opaque outer cover 9.
Further, the pull type transmission system according to the present invention may also be additionally provided with a guide structure. The purpose of the guide structure is to pull the pull rope, so as to guide the pulling direction and horizontal height of the pull rope and more accurately and conveniently wind the pull rope around the rotary discs with different diameters. The guide structure comprises a limit component 20 allowing the pull rope to pass through and limiting the pull rope, and a control module 21 controlling the up and down movement of the limit component 20, the pull rope 3 passes through the limit component 20 and the position of the limit component 20 is controlled by the control module 21, thereby controlling the position of the pull rope 3.

The first guide structure 219 may be a threaded or tapered convex bone or groove, and the second guide structure is a corresponding threaded or tapered groove or convex bone. During use, the knob shaft is rotated, and the conduit slot moves through the matched first guide structure and second guide structure to drive the perforated sheet to move up and down, while the pull rope moves up and down with the limit component, so that the pull rope can be wound around the rotary discs with different diameters more accurately and conveniently.
