Description

Mixer {BLENDER}

The present invention relates to a mixer.

In modern society, the importance of well-being is increasing. Interest in cooking various fresh food ingredients for health is increasing. In particular, interest in lifestyle habits of grinding fresh vegetables and fruits and making juices and soup is increasing.

A blender usually means a device that grinds, crushes or juices juices such as fruits and vegetables. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2013-0010560, which is a prior art document, well illustrates an example of such a blender.

However, the conventional mixer may have various problems.

In the case of conventional mixers, there is a high possibility that nutrients will be destroyed during material processing. In the process of crushing the material with the blade, the oxygen (oxygen) in the container and the crushed portion of the food material meet and oxidation reaction occurs. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the inherent properties of the material are changed or the nutrients are destroyed.

In addition, in the conventional mixer, resistance may be generated by mixing the pulverized material with air. This resistance leads to a longer machining time when grinding the material, thereby decreasing the efficiency. Furthermore, the longer the contact time between the material and the air, the more nutrient destruction can be achieved.

To solve this problem, the developers vacuumed the inside of the container containing the food material. We are actively developing a mixer that crushes or mixes materials in a container in a vacuum.

Containers used in blenders are mainly made of glass, and glass parts often have large tolerances in the manufacturing process. Containers with large tolerances can not be used in blenders.

Also, it is convenient to use vessels of various sizes (height) depending on the kind and amount of the material to be crushed, but the conventional blender can be used only for containers of a certain height.

Furthermore, in order to apply to a container of various sizes using a single blender, the blender must have a structure capable of moving up and down. In this case, it is necessary to firmly fix the blender to the container so that the lowered blender is not released during operation. When grinding is completed, it may be necessary to separate easily.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mixer capable of maintaining an airtight vacuum coupling even to a container having a large tolerance.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mixer capable of accommodating a container having various heights freely movable up and down.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mixer which is easy to be vacuum-coupled and separated between the mixer and the container.

In one example, the blender includes a main body having a bottom portion and a stand portion extending upward from one side of the bottom portion, the main portion being provided with a rotation motor therein, a detachable mounting portion on the bottom portion, A connection nozzle including a container lid for covering the container, a connection seal member for airtightly coupling to the exhaust nozzle, and a connecting seal member And a connecting housing for accommodating the connecting seal member in a horizontal direction so that the inner surface thereof is spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the connecting seal member so as to horizontally move the connecting seal member, the nozzle housing having therein a nozzle housing, And a connecting body case spaced from the outer side surface in the horizontal direction, wherein the connecting body and the connecting nozzle are vertically movable on the stand portion, Wherein the connection seal member is formed so as to penetrate the inside thereof and has an insertion port into which the exhaust nozzle is inserted and a guide surface formed on the lower side of the insertion port and inclined inward toward the insertion port, The first moving and connecting seal member in which the nozzle housing moves in the horizontal direction inside the connecting body case contacts the guide surface of the connecting housing body when the connecting body is lowered and the exhaust nozzle contacts the guide surface, At least one of the first and second movements moving in the horizontal direction is generated in the exhaust nozzle so that the connection nozzle is in a position where it is hermetically coupled to the exhaust nozzle.

1 and 2, a blender according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 100, a container 200 detachably installed in the main body 100, a container lid 250 covering the container 200 And a connection body 300 installed on the main body 100 and coupled with the container lid 250.

The main body 100 includes a bottom surface portion 110 and a stand portion 120 extending upward from one side of the bottom surface portion 110. A rotating motor (not shown) is provided inside the main body 100. The rotary motor operates in conjunction with the blade 210 provided inside the container 200 to be described later. The rotating motor may be provided in the bottom surface portion 110 or the stand portion 120.

The container 200 is detachably mounted on the bottom surface 110 of the main body 100. The container 200 includes a blade 210 that operates in conjunction with a rotating motor. The blade 210 rotates in conjunction with the rotary motor and can crush the material inside the container 200. [

The container lid 250 covering the container 200 is provided with an exhaust nozzle 255. The exhaust nozzle 255 is formed with a through hole 257 communicating with the inside of the container 200. The container 200 and the container lid 250 are airtightly coupled so that the through-hole 257 is sealed, so that the container 200 can be disconnected from the outside.

The container 200 may be made of glass. The outer surface of the container 200 may be provided with a handle for conveniently holding the container 200.

The connecting body 300 is installed in the stand 120 of the main body 100. The connection body 300 may include a nozzle housing 500 to be described later. Referring to FIG. 3, the connection body 300 has a connection nozzle 520 that is hermetically coupled to the exhaust nozzle 255. The connection nozzle 520 communicates with the vacuum pump 400. When the connection nozzle 520 and the exhaust nozzle 255 are coupled, the through hole 257 formed in the exhaust nozzle 255 can be disconnected from the outside. Accordingly, when the vacuum pump 400 operates, the interior of the container 200 can be evacuated.

The connection body 300 is movable up and down. The connecting body 300 can be moved to the lower side (D, see FIG. 1) in order for the connecting nozzle 520 to engage with the exhaust nozzle 255 in operation of the blender. When the use of the blender is finished, the connecting body 300 can be moved to the upper side U in order to separate the connecting nozzle 520 from the exhaust nozzle 255.

The horizontal position of the connection nozzle 520 and the exhaust nozzle 255 may not correspond to each other when the connection body 520 and the exhaust nozzle 255 are coupled by moving the connection body 300 downward. Accordingly, the connection nozzle 520 is movable in the horizontal direction (X, Y, see FIG. 1) corresponding to the position of the exhaust nozzle 255.

Hereinafter, one mode in which the connecting nozzle moves horizontally will be described. Figs. 4 to 6 are various sectional views showing the coupling relationship between the connection body case and the nozzle housing. Fig.

2 to 6, the connection body 300 may further include a nozzle housing 500 and a connection body case 340 (see FIG. 7 for the entire structure). The nozzle housing 500 may be received within the connection body case 340. The nozzle housing 500 can receive the connection nozzle 520 therein.

The nozzle housing 500 may be movable in the horizontal direction inside the connection body case 340. Since the nozzle housing 500 accommodates the connection nozzle 520 therein, the connection nozzle 520 can also be moved in the horizontal direction by moving the nozzle housing 500 in the horizontal direction.

4, the outer side surface of the nozzle housing 500 and the inner side surface of the connection body case 340 may be spaced horizontally (see arrows). The nozzle housing 500 can move to the spaced apart space. Accordingly, the nozzle housing 500 can move in the horizontal direction inside the connection body case 340. [

The connection body case 340 can restrict the vertical movement of the nozzle housing 500 inside the connection body case 340. [ By restricting the vertical movement of the nozzle housing 500, it is possible to prevent the nozzle housing 500 from rattling inside the connection body case 340 when the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle are coupled. To this end, the connection body case 340 may include an inner upper surface which is brought into close contact with at least a part of the outer upper surface of the nozzle housing 500 when the nozzle housing 500 is moved in the vertical direction.

4, the inner upper surface 340a of the connection body case 340 includes a guide member 349 for supporting the outer upper surface 500a of the nozzle housing 500, the lower surface of which is connected to the inner side of the connection body case And can be seen as an upper surface). The inner upper surface 340b of the connection body case 340 may be formed so as to be in close contact with the protruded outer upper surface 500b of the nozzle housing 500 as shown in FIG. 6, the entire inner upper surface 340c of the connection body case 340 and the entire upper surface 500c of the nozzle housing 500 may be closely adhered to each other.

The configuration as described above can be implemented more specifically in the shape as shown in Fig. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a connection relationship between a connection body case and a nozzle housing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, the connection body case 340 may include an upper case 341 and a lower case 342. The lower case 342 may include a lower portion 345 including a support surface 343 and a through hole 344 and a side portion 347.

The support surface 343 may be formed horizontally to support at least a portion of the outer lower surface of the nozzle housing body 510. The through hole 344 is formed at the center of the support surface 343 so that the connection nozzle 520 of the nozzle housing 500 is exposed to the outside of the connection body case 340.

The side portions 347 may be formed vertically at the lower portion 345 and horizontally spaced from the outer side surfaces of the nozzle housing 500. Since the side portion 347 is formed so as to be horizontally spaced from the outer side surface of the nozzle housing 500, the nozzle housing 500 is supported by the lower portion 345 and can move in the horizontal direction. The diameter of the through hole 344 may be larger than the diameter of the portion of the nozzle housing 500 exposed to the outside.

The upper case 341 may be coupled to the lower case 342. The nozzle housing may attempt to move upward when the connection nozzle is coupled to the exhaust nozzle by the force that the exhaust nozzle presses the connection nozzle upward. The upper case 341 may include at least a part of the outer upper surface of the nozzle housing 500 to limit the vertical movement of the nozzle housing 500. The limiting surface may be formed as shown in Figs. 4 to 6 (see the inner upper surface of the connection body case), as described above. 4 to 6 as long as the nozzle housing 500 is configured to restrict vertical movement of the nozzle housing 500.

The vertical movement of the nozzle housing 500 is restricted by the restriction surface of the upper case 341 and the lateral side 344 of the lower case 342 formed to be horizontally spaced apart from the outer side surface of the nozzle housing 500, So that it can be guided to move only in the horizontal direction within the connection body case 340. [

Next, a configuration for firmly fixing the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle in operation of the blender will be described. FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a coupling relationship between a nozzle housing and a container lid according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 8, the container lid 250 may include a latching jaw 253 extending outward from the outer periphery of the exhaust nozzle 255. The hooking jaw 253 and the upper surface of the container lid 250 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance to provide a space in which the protruding jaws 531 to be described later can be caught and fixed by the jaws 253. The nozzle housing 500 may include a nozzle housing body 510 accommodated in the connection body case and a locking panel 530 and a separation panel 540 coupled to the nozzle housing body 510. The nozzle housing 500 may include a locking panel 530 and a detachable panel 540 to detachably engage the container lid 250.

The locking panel 530 includes a first panel 532a and a second panel 532b perpendicular to the container lid 250 and coupled to the nozzle housing body 510 facing each other, And a protruding protrusion 531 protruding in a direction facing each other at a lower portion of the second panel 532b.

The first panel 532a and the second panel 532b can be coupled to the nozzle housing body 510 such that the protrusions 531 are rotatable in the direction (A direction) or the opposite direction (B direction) have.

In addition, the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b may include, on the inner side surface, a slanting jaw 535 whose thickness gradually increases in a direction opposite to the downward direction. The inclined jaw 535 can be used to rotate the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b in the direction in which they are separated from each other (direction B) by the horizontal panel 541 of the separation panel 540 .

The separation panel 540 may include a horizontal panel 541 formed between the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b and a pressure button 542 provided on one side of the horizontal panel 541. [ The separation panel 540 may be coupled to the nozzle housing body 510 and the pressure button 542 may be exposed to the exterior of the nozzle housing body 510. Referring to FIG. 7, the upper case 341 of the connection body case 340 may include a button hole for exposing the exposed pressure button 542.

The horizontal panel 541 can be coupled to the nozzle housing body 510 to be rotatable up and down by pressing against the pressure button 542. [ The horizontal panel 541 may be formed on the upper side of the inclined jaw 535.

A process in which the nozzle housing 500 is coupled to or separated from the container lid 250 will now be described. First, referring to FIG. 8, a process in which the nozzle housing 500 is coupled to the container lid 250 will be described.

When the connecting body 300 is lowered and the nozzle housing 500 is also lowered for the use of the blender, that is, for the airtight coupling between the connection nozzle 520 and the exhaust nozzle 255, the first panel 532a and the second panel (532b) can come into contact with the latching jaw (253) of the container lid (250). Since the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are coupled to the nozzle housing body 510 so as to be rotatable about the first rotation axis 539, the force to press the nozzle housing 500 downward The first panel 532a and the second panel 532b can be rotated in the direction away from each other (direction B). 8, when the inner surface of the protruded protrusion 531 and the outer surface of the protrusion 253 are inclined upward inward, the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are separated from each other Direction (direction B).

When the nozzle housing 500 descends and the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are away from each other and pass the latching jaw 253, the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are moved in the opposite directions (A direction) and the protruding jaws 531 are caught by the latching jaws 253, so that the nozzle housing 500 can be coupled to the container lid 250. To this end, the locking panel 530 includes a first elastic member for providing an elastic force to the first rotation shaft 539 so that the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are restored in the direction (A direction) . The first elastic member may be formed on the first rotation shaft 539 or may be formed on the outer surfaces of the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b as shown in FIG. 8 (refer to reference numeral 538) .

Next, the process of separating the nozzle housing 500 and the container lid 250 will be described.

In order to separate the nozzle housing 500 from the container lid 250, the first panel 532a and the second panel 532b are moved away from each other (direction B) so that the protruding jaws 531 are engaged with the jaws 253, . This can be done by pressing the pressure button 542 of the separation panel 540.

More specifically, as the horizontal panel 541 is rotated downward by pressurization of the pressing button, the horizontal panel 541 can press the inclined jaws 535 outward. The first panel 532a and the second panel 532b can be rotated in the direction away from each other (direction B), and the protruding jaws 531 can be separated from the jaws 253 when the jaws 535 are pressed outward .

The separation panel 540 may further include a second elastic member (not shown) that provides an elastic force to the second rotation shaft 543 so that the horizontal panel 541 is restored upward. The second elastic member may be formed on the second rotation shaft 543.

In this way, the connecting body accommodating the nozzle housing in the process of engaging or disengaging the nozzle housing with the lid of the container can be installed on the stand and move up and down. Hereinafter, the up-and-down movement of the connection body will be described in detail.

9 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a part of the internal structure of the blender according to the embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 9, the up and down movement of the connection body will be described.

The stand portion 120 of the main body 100 may include a pillar member 125 extending upward from the bottom surface portion 110. [ The pillar members 125 may be formed on both sides of the stand 120. Although the stand portion is not shown in Fig. 9, the pillar member 125 may be formed on the stand portion 120 as shown in Fig.

The connection body 300 may further include a column holder portion 350 movably coupled to the column member 125 up and down. The column holder portion 350 may include an insertion hole 351 into which the column member 125 is inserted.

When the connection body 300 moves downward, the column holder portion 350 can move downward along the column member 125. [ Conversely, when the connecting body 300 is moved upward, the column holder portion 350 can be moved upward along the column member 125.

The stand 120 may further include a third elastic member 126 provided on the outer periphery of the pillar member 125. The third elastic member 126 may be a spring. The third elastic member 126 may be formed throughout the longitudinal direction of the pillar member 125.

The third elastic member 126 can be compressed by the lowering of the post holder unit 350. [ When the column holder portion 350 is lowered, the bottom surface of the column holder portion 350 can compress the third elastic member 126 by pressing. The diameter of the third elastic member 126 may need to be larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 351 so that the third elastic member 126 is not inserted into the insertion hole 351. [

The compressed third elastic member 126 can provide restoring force to the column holder portion 350 in the upward direction. Therefore, when the pressing button is pressed and the protruding portion is released from the latching jaw, the connecting body 300 can be automatically raised by the restoring force of the third elastic member 126. [

Next, the connection relationship between the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle will be described. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a connection nozzle and an exhaust nozzle before they are combined according to an embodiment of the present invention. 11 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state after the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle are coupled according to an embodiment of the present invention. 12 is a plan view showing a connection nozzle and a connection housing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

10 and 11, the connection nozzle 520 may include a connection seal member 521 that forms an insertion port 527 into which the exhaust nozzle 255 is inserted. The connection body 300 is lowered and the nozzle housing 500 is coupled to the container lid 250 so that the exhaust nozzle 255 can be inserted into the insertion port 527 of the connection seal member 521 to be hermetically coupled.

However, as shown in Fig. 10, the horizontal position of the exhaust nozzle 255 provided in the container lid 250 may not correspond to the horizontal position of the insertion port 527 formed in the connection seal member 521. [ The connecting seal member 521 includes the guide surface 529 inclined in the direction of the insertion port 527 from the outside of the insertion port 527 so that the horizontal position of the exhaust nozzle 255 and the insertion port 527 are matched with each other in the connection nozzle 520, Can be moved.

More specifically, when the connecting body 300 is lowered and the guide surface 529 contacts the exhaust nozzle 255, the connection nozzle 520 including the connection seal member 521 is guided along the guide surface 529 in the horizontal direction . ≪ / RTI > For example, in the case of FIG. 10, the connection seal member 521 descends on the guide surface 529 and can move to the right. When the insertion port 527 moves to the position corresponding to the exhaust nozzle 255 as the connection seal member 521 moves in the horizontal direction, the connection seal member 521 is hermetically coupled to the exhaust nozzle 255 can do.

That is, the connection nozzle 520 can move in the horizontal direction so that the horizontal position of the connection nozzle 520 corresponds to the horizontal position of the exhaust nozzle 255. Therefore, the mixer according to the embodiment of the present invention can be accommodated in a container in which the horizontal position of the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle are not made to correspond to each other through the above-described structure.

Referring to FIGS. 10 to 12, the nozzle housing 500 may further include a cylindrical connection housing 550 surrounding the connection nozzle 520. The connection housing 550 may be coupled to the nozzle housing body 510, as shown in FIGS. That is, the nozzle housing 500 includes the nozzle housing body 510 and the connection housing 550, and the connection housing 550 may be coupled to the nozzle housing body 510. Or the nozzle housing body 510 and the connection housing 550 may be integrally formed.

Also, the connection housing 550 may be formed leaving a space in which the first panel and the second panel of the locking panel are located. As described above, the nozzle housing 500 includes a locking panel (a first panel and a second panel), which, together with the first panel and the second panel, (See 532a in Figs. 7 and 8). Alternatively, the first panel and the second panel may be formed to protrude outside the cylindrical connection housing 550, though they are not shown in the drawings.

The connection seal member 521 may have a fourth elastic member 525 on its outer peripheral surface. The fourth elastic member 525 can be compressed between the connection housing 550 and the connection seal member 521 when the connection nozzle 520 moves in the horizontal direction. The compressed fourth resilient member 525 is supported by the connection housing 550 when the connection nozzle is separated from the exhaust nozzle 255 and provides a restoring force for returning the connection nozzle 520 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the connection nozzle 520 is moved can do. That is, the fourth elastic member 525 pushes the connection nozzle 520 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the connection nozzle 520 moves when the connection nozzle and the exhaust nozzle are engaged, using the connection housing 550 as a stepping plate .

Hereinafter, the overall operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 8 to 11. FIG.

First, the material to be crushed can be put into the container 200. The container lid 250 may then be closed to seal the container 200 and the container 200 may be coupled to the bottom surface portion 110.

It is necessary to hermetically connect the exhaust nozzle 255 of the container lid 250 and the connection nozzle 520 of the connection body 300 to make the interior of the container 200 vacuum. To this end, the connecting body 300 may be pressed down so that the entire connecting body 300 is lowered along the stand 120.

If the horizontal position of the exhaust nozzle 255 and the connection nozzle 520 does not correspond to each other, the connection nozzle 520 may move in the horizontal direction and move to a position corresponding to the exhaust nozzle 255. As described above, the nozzle housing 500 can move in the horizontal direction inside the connection body case 340 (first movement). Or the connection nozzle 520 can move in the horizontal direction (second movement) by the pressurization of the exhaust nozzle against the guide surface 529 formed on the connection seal member 521.
