According to an implementation of the present invention, a soymilk machine includes a blade device including: a blade shaft driven to rotate by a driving member; a first set of blades fixed to the cutter shaft perpendicular to a rotational axis of the cutter shaft; and a second set of blades, It is mounted on the arbor perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the arbor and is free to rotate about the arbor; wherein the second set of blades are disposed at a distance from the first set of blades below the first set of blades.

Embodiments of the novel soymilk machine will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the whole soybean milk machine according to an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the soymilk machine shown in FIG. 1 from another angle to more clearly show the details of the structure of FIG. 1.

As shown in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the soymilk machine includes a blade device 1 for grinding soybeans and the like, and a cup 2 for containing the slurry, and the blade device 1 is disposed in the cup 2 for driving the component. Drive the rotating grinding slurry. In the illustrated embodiment, the blade device 1 is disposed near the bottom of the cup 2, and a raw material such as soybeans is filled in the bottom of the cup 2 after being filled into the cup 2, and a driving member (for example, an electric motor) drives the cutter shaft to rotate, thereby driving The blade device 1 rotates and the blade device in turn grinds the material to produce soy milk. The structural relationship between the cup 2 and the blade device 1 is merely exemplary. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the soybeans are directly contained in the cup 2 . However, in other embodiments not shown, the soy and the blade can be contained in a container having a filter, and the container can be placed in the cup 2 as well.

The blade device according to the present invention will be described in detail below. 3 and 4 show structural details of a blade device according to an embodiment of the present invention; wherein FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the assembly of the blade device according to an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the blade device shown in FIG. Figure.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the blade assembly includes a cutter shaft 10, a first set of blades 20, and a second set of blades 30. The cutter shaft 10 can be driven at a high speed by a drive member (e.g., an electric motor). For example, in one embodiment, the cutter shaft rotates at a high speed at a speed of 12,000 rpm. The first set of blades 20 (upper blades) are fixed to the cutter shaft 10 perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cutter shaft 10. Wherein, the upper blade 20 and the cutter shaft 10 can be mounted, for example, in a detachable manner, such as a threaded fastening, or a non-detachable mounting, such as welding. When the cutter shaft is rotated at a high speed, the upper blade 20 is integrally driven to rotate. The second set of blades 30 (lower blades) are movably mounted on the arbor perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the arbor 10 and are free to rotate about the arbor 10, wherein the term "actively" means that the lower blade 30 is rotatable relative to the arbor 10 free rotation. For example, in one embodiment, the lower blade 30 is mounted on the arbor in a limited manner. In another embodiment, the lower blade 30 is mounted on the arbor in a manner that is suspended from the collar. Of course, other mounting structures can also be used. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower blade 30 is disposed above and below the upper blade 20 at a distance.

The operation of the above embodiment according to the present invention will now be described. The cup 2 is filled with water and soybeans, and when the soymilk is in operation, the electric motor drives the cutter shaft 10 to rotate at a high speed (for example, 12,000 rpm). The upper and lower sets of blades are mounted on the cutter shaft 10, and the blade has the following two methods for grinding soybeans, which is a significant advantage of the present application due to the synergistic effect of the two grinding methods.

First: the cutter shaft 10 is fixedly mounted with the upper blade 20, and the cutter shaft 10 drives the upper blade 20 to rotate integrally at a high speed, so that the blades of the upper blade 20 hit the water and soybean in the cup 2 at a high speed to grind the soybean into powder. . Second type: the cutter shaft 10 and the lower blade 30 are movably mounted (for example, limit) and the lower blade 30 is freely rotatable about the rotation axis of the cutter shaft 10, the cutter shaft When the motor 10 is driven by the electric motor, the lower blade 30 and the upper blade 20 cannot rotate synchronously. On the contrary, the lower blade 30 rotates at a slightly slow speed (for example, 6000 rpm or by the high-speed eddy current generated by the upper blade grinding). 8000 rev / sec, or other speed).

Since the rotational speeds of the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30 are different, it is possible to form a different grinding operation between the upper blade and the lower blade. For example, the upper blade 20 grinds larger particles at high speed while the lower blade 30 grinds smaller particles. When the upper blade 20 rotates at a high speed, the agitated water generates a strong vortex, and the vortex will roll up the bottom of the cup of soybean along with the vortex, the vortex speed and the speed between the upper blades 20 are different, and the upper blade 20 continuously collides with the soybean in the vortex. Further grinding is achieved. When the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30 are arranged as in the present invention, the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30 rotate at different speeds, thereby enabling different levels of grinding of the soybean slurry, thereby greatly improving the grinding effect and reducing the amount of residue. .

In addition, since the electric motor only drives the upper blade to rotate, the lower blade is rotated by the eddy current, so the load of the electric motor is reduced, thereby reducing the power of the electric motor.

A modification of the blade device according to the present invention will now be described.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper blade 20 and/or the lower blade 30 are detachably mounted on the arbor 10. When the blade is detachable, it is easy to replace when the blade is damaged. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30 are of a multi-blade structure, and a center hole is provided at the center of rotation of the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30, and the cutter shaft 10 passes through the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30. Set the center hole.

In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, the upper blade 20 and/or the lower blade 30 are detachable. As shown, the arbor 10 is provided with a first threaded portion 102 to which the upper blade 20 is secured via a nut 40 to the first threaded portion 102 of the arbor 10. In one embodiment, the arbor can also include a shim 70 that can also be replaced with a shrapnel, washer or other component.

The blade 20 can have a knot adapted to be detachably mounted Structure.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the arbor 10 forms a finite portion, and the lower blade 30 is received in the limiting portion such that the lower blade 30 is free to rotate about the arbor 10 within the limiting portion when the arbor 10 is rotated. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cutter shaft 10 is provided with a second threaded portion 104 formed at least in part by a nut 60 that is screwed onto the second threaded portion 104. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower blade 30 forms a stop by the nut 40 and the nut 60. The mounting structure of the arbor and the lower blade 30 is not limited to this embodiment, and other structures that are easily conceivable to those skilled in the art can be utilized. For example, in another embodiment, the arbor can also be provided with a shoulder, using the shoulder. To limit the lower blade 30. With the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the detachable mounting of the upper blade 20 and the lower blade 30 can be realized by relying only on the standardized thread and the nut, and the structure is simple, the number of components is small, and the cost can be reduced.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper blade 20 is larger in size than the lower blade 30, and the eddy current caused by the blade 10 driving the upper blade 20 to rotate while stirring the article can cause the lower blade 30 to freely rotate. When the size of the lower blade 30 is small, it is easy to adjust and change the speed of the lower blade 30.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the blades of the upper blade 20 are configured to be adapted to urge the agitating material to the radially outer side and the lower side, and the blades of the lower blade 30 are configured to have a substantially inverted V-shape. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the blades of the upper blade 20 are configured to be adapted to push the agitating material to the radially outer side and the lower side, the structure is applicable to a net soya-bean milk machine. In some cases, the shape of the blades of the lower blade 30 is configured to be substantially inverted V-shaped, which increases the probability of collision of the blade with the soy slurry.

According to the present invention, the structure of the cup 2 is also improved. Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6 show details of the improvement of the cup barrel. Figure 5 is a schematic front view of a cup barrel in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 6 is a schematic perspective view of a cup barrel in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

In the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall surface of the cup 2 is also provided with a plurality of protrusions toward the inner wall surface. A raised bag 202 and a plurality of ribs 204. A plurality of ribs 204 are disposed along the longitudinal direction of the cup barrel, and a raised bag 202 is disposed between the ribs 204.

The shape of the convex bag 202 is not particularly limited, and for example, the cross section may be a circle, a triangle, a quadrangle or the like as long as it can be appropriately protruded toward the inner side. The position of the convex bag is not particularly limited, and may be any position between the ribs, the vicinity of the ribs, or the like. The number of the convex packs 202 is also not particularly limited. For example, in one embodiment, the four ribs 204 are uniformly distributed on the inner wall surface of the cup barrel, and four convex packs are evenly arranged between each two adjacent ribs 204. 202, four raised packets 202 are arranged in two rows. Such a structure not only achieves the purpose of the present application but also has an aesthetic effect. The raised pockets 202 can also be arranged in any other manner.

The structure in which the cup barrel is provided with a raised bag (or embossed point) has the following advantages. When a convex hull is provided on the inner wall of the cup of the soymilk machine, when the blade device agitates the eddy current, it is easy to generate a stronger eddy current turbulence, thereby improving the cutting efficiency. In addition, since the convex package 202 is disposed between the plurality of ribs, the convex package 202 can have an advantage of preventing excessive eddy current sputtering.
