The main driving mechanism 15 is disposed on the machine body 10, and for reasonable space utilization, the whole main driving mechanism 15 of the present embodiment is located below the second placement chamber 12. For different functional modules 50, such as vegetable-cutting modules and meat-mincing modules, the power required by the drive connection ends are different (the rotational speeds of the drive connection ends are different), so that, in order to adapt to the power required by the different functional modules 50, the main drive mechanism 15 of the present embodiment has at least two drive connection ends, which are shown in connection with fig. 2 and 6 as a first drive connection end 150a and a second drive connection end 150b, respectively. The first transmission connection end 150a is a horizontally placed (axis extending horizontally), i.e. a first power output end, and the second transmission connection end 150b is a vertically placed (axis extending vertically), i.e. a second power output end, both of which are located at the bottom of the first installation cavity.

Each functional module 50 has a driving mating portion thereon that mates with the first driving connection 150a or the second driving connection 150b. In the state in which a different functional module 50 is placed in the first accommodation chamber 11, it can be connected correspondingly to one of the two drive connection ends. As shown in fig. 5, the functional module 50 shows a gear 500 in driving connection with the food processing assembly 53 (see fig. 3 in detail), which gear 500 can be meshed with the first drive connection 150a (gear) of the main drive mechanism.

As shown in fig. 7 to 9, a preferred structure of the main drive mechanism 15 of the present embodiment is shown, which includes a main drive motor 151, a drive gear 152, a first driven gear 1531, a second driven gear 1532, a first bevel gear 1541, a second bevel gear 1542, a first post gear 1551, a second post gear 1552, and a gear case 156.

The first pinion 1551 is coaxially coupled to the second bevel gear 1542 to rotate in synchronization therewith, the second pinion 1552 is engaged with the first pinion 1551, and the gear serving as the first drive connection 150a is disposed above the second pinion 1552 and coaxially coupled to the second pinion 1552.

Referring to fig. 17 to 23, the cap plate assembly 30 includes a cap plate case 31, a flow path frame plate 32, an auxiliary cap plate 33, a first driving mechanism 341, and a second driving mechanism 342.

The cover housing 31 constitutes a supporting structure of other components, and specifically includes an upper housing 311 and a lower housing 312 that are fastened in the up-down direction. The upper housing 311 and the lower housing 312 cooperate to define a receiving chamber 310 for receiving the flow field plate 32 after being snapped together.

As shown in fig. 21, the upper case 311 is provided with a food inlet 313, which is a feed port of the cover assembly, and the lower case 312 is provided with a food outlet 314 at a position corresponding to the food inlet 313.

The auxiliary cover 33 is slidably coupled to the upper housing 311 by being driven by the second driving mechanism 342, and is capable of opening or closing at least a partial region of the food inlet 313. After feeding the food, the auxiliary cover plate 33 can close the food inlet 313 in time to achieve the protection purpose, and of course, the auxiliary cover plate 33 can also be matched with the runner frame plate 32 to shield a part of the area of the food inlet 313 so as to facilitate feeding of the food runners with different opening sizes (specifically described below).

The auxiliary cover 33 is provided inside the food inlet 313 of the upper case 311 and reciprocates in the left-right direction. Specifically, the front and rear sides of the auxiliary cover plate 33 have limiting plates 331 extending downward, and the two limiting plates 331 are respectively limited on the left and right sides of the top of the flow channel frame plate 32, that is, the flow channel frame plate 32 can support the auxiliary cover plate 33 and limit the flow channel frame plate in the front and rear directions. The limit plate 331 at the rear side of the auxiliary cover 33 has a second support plate 332 extending rearward, and the second driving mechanism 342 is disposed on the second support plate 332. Specifically, the second driving mechanism 342 includes a second driving motor 3421 and a second gear 3422, and the second gear 3422 is connected to an output shaft of the second driving motor 3421. Correspondingly, referring to fig. 23, a second rack 3423 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the inner side wall of the upper case 311, and the second gear 3422 can be engaged with the above-described second gear 3422. When the second driving motor 3421 rotates in the forward and reverse directions, the auxiliary cover 33 (and the second driving motor 3421 and the second gear 3422 provided thereon) can reciprocate in the left and right directions by the engagement of the second gear 3422 with the second rack 3423.

The flow path frame plate 32 is driven by the first driving mechanism 341 to slide in the left-right direction in the accommodation chamber 310 of the cover plate case 31. The flow path frame plate 32 has a food material flow path penetrating up and down, wherein an upper port of the flow path frame plate 32 moving to the food material flow path can be opposed to the food material inlet 313, and a lower port can be opposed to the food material outlet 314.

Referring to fig. 23, the inner side wall of the upper housing 311 has a third support plate 3110 extending transversely, and the first driving mechanism 341 is fixed on the third support plate 3110, specifically, the first driving mechanism 341 includes a first driving motor 3411 and a first gear 3412, the first driving motor 3411 is fixed on the bottom of the third support plate 3110, and an output shaft thereof passes through the third support plate 3110 upward to be connected with the first gear 3412. Referring again to fig. 22, the side wall of the flow path frame plate 32 is provided with a first rack 3413 extending in the left-right direction, and the first rack 3413 is engaged with the first gear 3412 described above.

In order to ensure the stability of the left-right movement of the flow channel frame plate 32, the inner wall of the cover plate housing 31 is further provided with a limiting rib 315 extending in the left-right direction, correspondingly, referring to fig. 22, the front and rear side walls of the flow channel frame plate 32 are provided with limiting sliding grooves 323 extending in the left-right direction, and the edges of the limiting rib 315 and the third supporting plate are respectively slidably restrained in the two limiting sliding grooves 323.

In general, different functional modules 50 may share one food material flow channel on the cover assembly 30, but sharing one food material flow channel inevitably has a sanitary problem, for example, sharing one food material flow channel can generate a problem of mutual smell or pollution of meat and vegetable food materials, endangering human health and affecting the use experience of users; on the other hand, due to the limitation of the feeding and cutting process of the different functional modules 50, the size and the dimension of the food material flow channels of the flow channel frame plate 32 are different, so that the flow channel frame plate 32 of the present embodiment has at least two food material flow channels sequentially arranged along the moving direction of the flow channel frame plate 32 in order to avoid the food material sharing the same food material flow channel to pollute and meet the feeding and cutting requirements of the different functional modules 50. As shown in fig. 21, the flow path frame plate 32 has two food material flow paths, which are a first flow path 321 and a second flow path 322, respectively, arranged in order in the left-right direction. Wherein the upper port of the first flow channel 321 is larger than the upper port of the second flow channel 322, that is, the width dimension of the first flow channel 321 in the left-right direction is larger than the width dimension of the second flow channel 322 in the left-right direction. Referring again to fig. 19, the width dimension of the food material inlet 313 of the upper housing 311 in the left-right direction is greater than the width dimension of the first flow channel 321 in the left-right direction.

When different functional modules 50 are used, the positions of the feed openings 501 and the sizes of the openings of the functional modules 50 are slightly different, so that the runner frame plate 32 is driven by the first driving mechanism 341 to slide along the left-right direction to adjust the positions in order to adapt to the feed openings 501 of the different functional modules 50. Specifically, the flow path frame plate 32 has a first position in which the upper port of the first flow path 321 is opposed to the food inlet 313 of the cover housing 31 and a second position in which the upper port of the second flow path 322 is opposed to the food inlet 313 of the cover housing 31 during movement.

As shown in fig. 19, when the runner frame plate 32 is located at the first position, the left edge of the first runner 321 is flush with the left edge of the food inlet 313, and since the width of the food inlet 313 is greater than the width of the first runner 321, the auxiliary cover 33 is driven by the second driving mechanism 342 to move to the right position, and the exposed area of the food inlet 313 on the right side of the first runner 321 (i.e., at least part of the area of the second runner 322) is blocked, so that the food is prevented from falling into other areas outside the first runner 321 when the first runner 321 is fed. Similarly, referring to fig. 20, when the runner frame plate 32 is located at the second position, the right edge of the second runner 322 is flush with the right edge of the food inlet 313, and since the width of the food inlet 313 is greater than the width of the second runner 322, the auxiliary cover 33 is driven by the second driving mechanism 342 to move to the left position, and the exposed area of the food inlet 313 located at the right side of the second runner 322 (i.e. at least part of the area of the first runner 321) is blocked, so as to ensure that the food is prevented from falling into other areas located outside the second runner 322 when the second runner 322 is fed.

The residence positions of the first runner 321 and the second runner 322 of the runner frame plate 32 are adapted to the corresponding functional modules 50. As shown in fig. 10, when the runner frame plate 32 is in the first position, it may correspond to the inlet 501 of the dicing module; as shown in fig. 4, when the runner frame plate 32 is in the second position, it may correspond to the feed opening 501 of the meat cutting module.

The functional module can be a slicing module, a shredding module, a dicing module, a meat cutting module or a meat mincing module. A slicing module 50a for slicing and a meat mincing module 50b for mincing meat are respectively placed in the two second placement chambers 12 as in fig. 5. The functional module 50 generally includes a fixing base 51 and a food processing assembly 53 disposed in the fixing base 51, wherein a top of the fixing base 51 has a feeding hole 501, and a bottom of the fixing base has a discharging hole 502. For the different functional modules 50, various food processing cutter assemblies in the prior art can be adopted for the food processing assemblies 53 in the interior of the functional modules, as shown in fig. 5, a drum-type slicing cutter barrel can be adopted for the food processing assemblies 53 of the slicing modules, and a drum-type shredding cutter barrel can be adopted for the food processing assemblies 53 of the shredding modules; as shown in fig. 3, the food material processing assembly 53 of the meat cutting module may employ a prior art slicer assembly. Of course, some functional modules 50, such as minced steak modules, have no discharge port, i.e. the bottom of the fixing base 51 is provided with a minced steak container 511, and the minced steak container 511 is detachably connected to the fixing base 51 and can be removed from the bottom of the fixing base 51, as shown in fig. 5.

Referring to fig. 10-16, a dicing module is shown as functional module 50, specifically, the dicing module includes a holder 51 and a dicing cutter assembly (i.e., a food processing assembly 53) disposed in the holder 51.

The holder 51 is generally square in configuration and has a working chamber 510 for receiving the dicing cutter assembly. The top of the fixed seat 51 is provided with a feeding hole 501, the bottom is provided with an opening serving as a discharging hole 502, and specifically, the fixed seat 51 is further provided with a material guiding flow passage 503 for guiding food materials from the feeding hole 501 of the fixed seat 51 to the dicing cutter assembly. The top of the fixing seat 51 is provided with a handle 52, and when the handle 52 is in a folding state, the handle is biased at one side of the feeding hole 501, so that pollution to the handle 52 caused in the process that food material enters the feeding hole 501 of the dicing module from the food material runner is avoided.

The dicing cutter assembly includes a cutter barrel 60, a squeeze roller 65, and a gear drive assembly 64.

The knife cylinder 60 is horizontally extended in the fixed seat 51, two axial end parts of the knife cylinder are of an open structure, one end part is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 51 through a second bearing 662, the other end of the knife cylinder is fixed with a first transmission gear ring 642 of the gear transmission assembly through a pin, and the first transmission gear ring 642 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 51 through another second bearing 662.
