Detailed Description

In the present invention, the use of the directional terms such as "upper, lower, left, right" generally means upper, lower, left, right as viewed with reference to the drawings, unless otherwise specified; "inner and outer" refer to the inner and outer relative to the profile of the components themselves. In addition, the term "plurality" as used herein means at least two, including two and two or more.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a connection ring of a grinder, wherein the connection ring 10 includes a ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 having elasticity, the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 having a coupling piece 12 for coupling with a mounting groove 210 on a mounting base of the grinder 100, the connection ring 10 further including an operating portion 13 for operating to control the deformation of the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 so that the coupling piece 12 is disengaged from the mounting groove 210.

When the grinder 100 needs to be disassembled, the operation part 13 is operated to enable the annular or arc-shaped body 11 to be outwards deformed at the joint 12, so that the joint 12 is separated from the mounting groove 210, and the grinder 100 is conveniently disassembled from the mounting base. On the contrary, when installed, the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 has a tendency to be restored to its original shape, and the engaging member 12 is engaged with the installation groove 210, thereby conveniently installing the grinder 100 to the installation base. By having the grinder 100 removably mounted, cleaning can be conveniently performed after removal, and thus more thorough cleaning can be performed.

Since the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 has elasticity, it can be easily deformed under the operation of the operation portion 13 to be deformed outwardly at the engaging piece 12. Specifically, since the annular or arc-shaped body 11 is annular or arc-shaped, when a pressing force in the circumferential direction is applied to the elastic member, a flaring deformation is generated at a portion slightly distant from the point of application.

It should be noted that the grinder 100 may further include a pulverizing means (e.g., a blade mounted to the lower end of the shaft of the lower cover 200 in fig. 2) provided in the grinding cap 20 according to the type of the different grinder.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a grinder is provided, wherein the grinder 100 comprises a grinding cover 20 and a connecting ring 10 of the grinder of the present invention, the grinding cover 20 is provided with a connecting portion 21, the connecting portion 21 is ring-shaped or arc-shaped and is provided with a notch 22 corresponding to the engaging piece 12, the connecting ring 10 is hooped on the connecting portion 21, and the engaging piece 12 can extend to the inner side of the connecting portion 21 through the notch 22.

Since the connecting ring 10 is hooped on the connecting portion 21 and, as described above, when the pressing force is applied to the ring-shaped body 11 through the operating portion 13, the portion near the point of application is contracted to be hooped more tightly on the connecting portion 21, the connecting ring 10 can be held on the connecting portion 21 even after the grinder 100 is detached.

It should be noted that the grinder of the present invention may be configured so that the joint 12 does not completely disengage from the notch 22 when expanding, to further ensure that the connecting ring 10 can be retained on the connecting portion 21.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 may include an arc-shaped portion 14, and the arc-shaped portion 14 and the joint member 12 together define a ring shape or an arc shape. Also, the engaging piece 12 may protrude inward from the arc-shaped portion 14, and the engaging piece 12 may protrude inward by a height of not less than 1.5mm, preferably 2.5-5mm, so as to have sufficient elasticity to move outward to escape from the mounting groove 210 upon the outward expansion deformation.

In the present invention, the operating portion 13 may be formed in various suitable forms as long as it is capable of operating the deformation of the annular or arc-shaped body 11 to be capable of flaring at the joint 12. For convenience of operation, preferably, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the operating part 13 may include a finger grip for operation by fingers, one end of which is connected to the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11, so that the finger grip can be operated by fingers in a manner of operating a tool such as scissors. Additionally, for ease of manufacture, the attachment ring 10 may be a unitary piece, with the annular or arcuate body 11 including an opening from which the fingergrip extends. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5 and 7, the connection ring 10 may be a wire having elasticity and bent to form a ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 having an opening, and the bending is continued at both ends of the opening of the ring-shaped or arc-shaped body 11 to form a finger grip.

Wherein the fingergrip may be formed in various suitable forms as long as it is convenient to operate with fingers. For example, it may be a straight type capable of being pressed. And, the number of fingergrips can also be set as desired. Preferably, for convenience of operation, the fingergrip is formed in two and finger ring form, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, so that it can be conveniently operated by two fingers. When in use, only two fingers are respectively inserted into the finger ring and are also held and pinched close to each other as shown by using a tool such as scissors, the annular or arc-shaped main body 11 can be deformed, and the outward expansion deformation is generated at the joint 12 to be separated from the mounting groove 210. When it is desired to install the grinder 100, the fingers are simply released.

In the present invention, in order to adapt to the operation habit of the operator, the plane of the ring of the finger grip may be parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the ring or arc-shaped body 11. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, the plane of the ring of the finger grip is parallel to the plane of the ring or arc of the ring-shaped or arc-shaped main body 11, and the fingers are inserted vertically during operation; in the embodiment shown in fig. 6 and 7, the plane of the ring of the finger grip is perpendicular to the plane of the ring or arc-shaped body 11, and the fingers can be inserted horizontally during operation.

In addition, in order to provide a firm engagement between the engaging member 12 and the mounting groove 210, the engaging member 12 may be plural and arranged along the circumferential direction of the coupling ring 10. It will be appreciated that the notches 22 are correspondingly plural

According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a soymilk maker, wherein, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the soymilk maker comprises a machine head, the machine head comprises a lower cover 200 and the grinder 100 of the present invention, the lower cover 200 is the mounting base and is provided with the mounting groove 210.

Preferably, the mounting groove 210 may be annular, and the engaging member 12 can be relatively slidably engaged with the mounting groove 210 along the mounting groove 210, so that the grinder 100 can be rotatably mounted on the lower cover 200 with respect to the lower cover 200.

In addition, a guide slope 220 may be further provided on the lower cover 200 at the lower end of the mounting groove 210 to guide the smooth detachment and installation of the grinder 100.

It should be noted that the various features described in the above embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is not described in detail in order to avoid unnecessary repetition.

In addition, any combination of the various embodiments of the present invention is also possible, and the same should be considered as the disclosure of the present invention as long as it does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
