The present invention relates to a food material agitating device, and more particularly to a food material agitating device capable of actively extracting the food material liquid for further access.

The ingredients of the ingredients are widely used, such as juice machines, soya-bean milk machines or juicers. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a conventional food material breaking device 8 is rotated at a high speed in a guiding tube 82 by a blade 81 to immerse the beans, grains, grains or grains in a container 83. The fruits and vegetables, together with the liquid, are continuously sucked into the guiding tube 82, and are pulverized by the blade 81 which is rotated at a high speed, and the crushed food material is discharged to the container 83 through the hole 84 of the guiding tube 82. In order to achieve the intended purpose of juice, and by heating of a heating element 85, it is possible to cook a juice such as soy milk or whole grain pulp. An embodiment of the conventional food material agitating device 8 has been disclosed in the Patent Case No. M350321 of the Republic of China, "Circulating and Crushing Food Machine".

However, the conventional food material mashing device 8 grinds the food material to form a food material scum, and if the food material smashing liquid is to be taken out and subjected to subsequent processing such as filtration, it is necessary to raise and dump the conventional food material smashing device 8 by the user. The raw material liquid is caused to flow out of the container 83, resulting in poor useability. Thus, it is often easy to cause accidents in which the conventional food material smashing device 8 slips, falls, or even is damaged. Especially when the container 83 is filled with the heated food material, once the above accident occurs, the hot juice is splashed everywhere. Therefore, the risk implied by the operation of the conventional food material mashing device 8 is extremely high.

However, the slurry discharging mechanism 922 directly guides the outflow of the food material in the crushing and curing device 92 by gravity, so the slurry discharging mechanism 922 must be disposed at the bottom of the crushing and curing device 92; meanwhile, the slurry discharging mechanism 922 must correspond to the human body. It is disposed at a suitable height (about 1 to 1.5 meters from the ground), so that the user can smoothly operate the slurry discharging mechanism 922, and accordingly, the setting height of the crushing and curing device 92 is strictly restricted, which indirectly causes the The space configuration of the conventional food material smashing device 9 is difficult to reduce the ease of use.

Moreover, if the food material crushing liquid in the pulverizing and curing device 92 needs to be further heated or filtered, it is required to be carried out by the boiling oil container 93, which is disposed under the pulverizing and curing unit 92 for receiving from the pulverizing. The food material flowing out of the ripener 92 can be processed in a subsequent process. In other words, the pulverizing cooker 92 and the boiled pulp container 93 must be respectively disposed at different positions of the horizontal height, so that the overall height of the conventional food material smashing device 9 is high, which not only greatly increases the size of the machine table, but also seriously reduces the use thereof. Convenience.

Or for an instant start, it is familiar to those skilled in the art who can expect and understand.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, an embodiment of the food material agitating device of the present invention comprises a base 1, a container 2 and a draft tube 3, and the container 2 can be combined with the base 1. The draft tube 3 is connected to the container 2.

The base 1 is provided with a power component 11 which can be a conventional motor for directly or indirectly rotating a rotating shaft 12 in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. One end of the rotating shaft 12 is coupled to the power component 11 , and the rotating shaft 12 can be formed with a body of the power component 11 or form a detachable combination with the power component 11 so that the rotating shaft 12 can be The power element 11 is removed for cleaning. The other end of the rotating shaft 12 is coupled to a fan wheel 121. The rotating shaft 12 is further provided with a blade portion 122 between the power component 11 and the fan wheel 121. The blade portion 122 is preferably disposed adjacent to the fan wheel 121. .

The container 2 includes a bottom surface 21 and a ring wall 22. The bottom surface 21 and the ring wall 22 collectively form an accommodating space R for containing the foodstuff and the juice thereof. The container 2 has an opening 23 opposite to one end of the bottom surface 21, and the container 2 can be coupled to the base 1 by the opening 23 such that the opening 21 is closed by the base 1. However, the base 1 and the container 2 are preferably formed in a detachable combination to facilitate removal of the base 1 from the container 2 for cleaning by the user. The bottom surface 21 further defines a recess 211. The recess 211 is located at the bottom of the container 2 and communicates with a receiving slot of the receiving space R. The bottom surface 21 is preferably from the ring wall. 22 is inclined from top to bottom toward the end edge of the groove 211. The draft tube 3 is connected to the groove 211, and the draft tube 3 has a drain port 31. The level of the drain port 31 can be higher than the level of the groove 211.

According to this, when the container 2 is combined with the base 1, the rotating shaft 12 of the base 1 can penetrate into the accommodating space R of the container 2, so that the fan wheel 121 coupled to the rotating shaft 12 and The blade portion 122 is formed inside the container 2, and the rotating fan wheel 121 is received in the groove 211 and is opposite to the guiding tube 3.

When the embodiment of the food material mashing device of the present invention is actually used, the food material can be filled in the accommodating space R of the container 2 in advance, and the machine base 1 is combined with the container 2. However, if the accommodating space R is filled with the food material, the rotating shaft 12 is not easily penetrated into the accommodating space R, and if the food material falls into the groove 211, the fan wheel 121 will be difficult to be accurately positioned. In the groove 211. Therefore, in the embodiment, the base 1 preferably has a food input opening 13 which is opposite to the opening 23 of the container 2, whereby the user actually operates the ingredient to break the device. The base 1 and the container 2 can be directly placed in the recess 211, and then the raw materials such as foodstuffs and liquid water can be placed in the container through the food input port 13. Space R. However, the food input port 13 can be opened directly to the ring wall 22 of the container 2 in addition to the stand 1, and can be easily considered by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.

Referring to the fifth and sixth figures, after the raw material such as the food material and the liquid liquid is placed in the accommodating space R through the food material input port 13, the power element 11 is activated or activated by a predetermined setting to drive the rotation. The shaft 12 rotates in the first direction (as indicated by the arrow), and the blade portion 122 disposed on the rotating shaft 12 will rotate along with the rotating shaft 12 to cut and shred the food in the accommodating space R. The fan wheel 121 is also rotated with the rotating shaft 12. In the embodiment, the fan wheel 121 is preferably a fan of a centrifugal fan, and the fan wheel 121 can be opposite to the guiding tube 3. When the fan wheel 121 rotates in the first direction Air will be introduced from its radial direction and a gas stream will be formed to exit toward its axial direction. In other words, the fan wheel 121 can introduce air into the groove 211 via the draft tube 3, and form an air flow to discharge toward the blade portion 122, whereby the airflow generated by the fan wheel 121 can prevent the food from falling into the In the groove 211, the cutting edge portion 122 is not easily cut and shred, and in addition, the air flow can disturb the food material and the water liquid in the accommodating space R, so that the food material can be more reliably cut and shredded to form the food material. Broken liquid.

Referring to Figures 7 and 8, after the cutting edge portion 122 completes the cutting and shredding of the food material to form the desired food material crushing liquid, the power element 11 will be activated again to drive the rotating shaft 12 toward the first A second direction (as indicated by the arrow) is rotated in the opposite direction. When the fan wheel 121 rotates in the second direction as the rotating shaft 12 rotates, it can be introduced into the liquid from its axial direction and discharged toward its radial direction. In other words, the fan wheel 121 can introduce the material waste in the groove 21 and discharge it through the liquid discharge port 31 of the draft tube 3 for the user to take or discharge into the subsequent processing device.

It is to be noted that since the bottom surface 21 can be inclined from the ring wall 22 toward the end edge of the groove 211 from top to bottom, the material waste in the accommodating space R will continue to flow into the groove 211. When the power element 11 is continuously driven, the rotation of the fan wheel 121 in the second direction can completely extract the liquid material waste inside the container 2 without remaining in the accommodating space R. Furthermore, the fan wheel 121 can also be a fan wheel of an axial flow fan, and the flow guiding tube 3 can be operated only by connecting the bottom of the groove 211. Therefore, the present invention does not limit the fan wheel 121. Structure type. Further, although the blade portion 122 cannot cut and shred the food material as the rotating shaft 12 rotates in the second direction, it is still possible to provide a stirring function in which the food in the groove 211 is extracted. In the case of the liquid, the blade portion 122 simultaneously agitates the material waste in the accommodating space R, thereby effectively preventing the coarse particles of the food grains from being precipitated or adhering to the inner wall of the ring wall 22 of the container 2.

With the above structure, the food material breaking device of the embodiment is coupled to a rotating wheel 12 and a fan wheel 121 and a blade portion 122. The rotating shaft 12 can extend through a container 2, and a bottom portion of the container 2 is opened. a groove 211, the fan wheel 121 is coupled to one end of the rotating shaft 12 and is received in the groove 211, so that when the rotating shaft 12 is driven to rotate in a first direction, the blade portion 122 will follow The rotating shaft 12 rotates to cut and shred the foodstuff inside the container 2; conversely, when the rotating shaft 12 is driven to rotate in a second direction, the fan wheel 121 can introduce the material waste in the groove 21 and It is discharged through a draft tube 3.

Compared with the conventional food material breaking device 8 and 9, the embodiment of the food material breaking device of the present invention can actively take out the liquid material in the container 2 through the fan wheel 121 for further access, so that the user does not need to lift The container 2 is poured out, and the material waste liquid is taken out through the draft tube 3, and the flow tube 3 has a liquid discharge port 31, and the liquid discharge port 31 can be higher than the groove 211. Even if the container 2 is disposed at a low position, by extending the length of the draft tube 3 to raise the level of the liquid discharge port 31, the user can still smoothly take the liquid material to make the container 2 set height. Not limited. Furthermore, when the material waste liquid needs to be subjected to subsequent processing such as filtration, the device for performing subsequent processing only needs to be aligned with the liquid discharge port 31 to receive the food material crushing liquid, in other words, the subsequent processing device can Provided at the same level as the container 2 does not increase the overall height and volume of the machine. Accordingly, the food material mashing device of the present invention does have the effect of improving the usability of the food material mashing device.
