DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(18) Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 16, a sauce gun with replaceable pushing mechanism according to the invention includes a gun body 1, a push rod 21, a fixed handle 31, a trigger handle 32 and a pushing mechanism, wherein the upper end of the gun body is provided with a through hole 11; the push rod 21 is slidably provided through the through hole 11, and the push rod 21 is provided with row teeth 211; just one strip of row teeth 211 arranged on the push rod 21 is shown here in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, but in practical application, the push rod 21 can also be provided with two strips of row teeth 211; preferably, the pitch of the two strips of row teeth 211 is different so as to meet the user's demands on different extrusion amounts of the sauce. In order to facilitate to manufacture, two strips of row teeth 211 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the push rod 21; the fixed handle 31 is fixedly installed at the top of the gun body 1 and is internally provided with a cavity 311 with two opening ends; one end of the trigger handle 32 extends into the cavity 311 and then is hinged with the fixed handle 31; the pushing mechanism includes a function case 41 detachably installed in the cavity 311, the trigger handle 32 is installed out of the function case 41, the function case 41 is provided with a push rod through hole 411 facilitating the push rod 21 to penetrate through corresponding to the through hole 11 of the gun body 1, the external wall of the function case 41 is provided with a first sliding groove 412, the first sliding groove 412 is internally provided with a first connecting piece 42 driven by the trigger handle 32, and the function case 41 is internally provided with a front push rod lock 43 rotatably connected to the first connecting piece 42, a rear push rod lock 45 hinged with the function case 41 through a second connecting piece 44, and a flexible device 46 driving the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45 to match with the row teeth 211 respectively.

(19) The function case 41 is detachably installed in the cavity by providing the pushing mechanism with the function case 41 in the invention, and the front push rod lock 43, the rear push rod lock 45 and the flexible device 46 are installed in the function case 41. When the flexible device 46 is cracked on the expiry date of the service life, the fragments can be effectively prevented from falling into food from the fixed handle 31 due to the blockage of the function case 41, avoiding food pollution, and avoiding causing an accident as people eat food including the fragments by mistake. At the same time, as the function case 41 is detachable, the pushing mechanism can be directly replaced for continuous use after the flexible device 46 is cracked. No new sauce gun needs to be purchased, so the use cost is low and the service life is long

(20) When the push rod 21 is dismounted, or the push rod 21 moving to the maximum stroke is pulled back to the minimum stroke, rotate the push rod 21 to enable the row teeth 211 to break away from the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45, thereby facilitating to push or pull the push rod 21. In the invention, in order to facilitate to rotate the push rod 21, the push rod 21 is a round rod; and in order to facilitate to hold the push rod 21, the upper end of the push rod 21 is provided with a handle 22.

(21) Further, one end of the function case 41 far away from the trigger handle 32 is provided with a case opening 413 aligning with the opening of the cavity 311, the push rod 21 blocks and seals the case opening 413 and forms an enclosure space with the external wall of the function case 41, and the front push rod lock 43, the rear push rod lock 45 and the flexible device 46 are installed in the enclosure space. The case opening 413 is arranged so as to facilitate not only to add lubricant to the function case 41 for the user but also to pour out the powder generated in the function case 41 due to abrasion or the water permeated due to cleaning for the user, thereby ensuring the pushing mechanism is in a good working condition and prolonging the service life of the sauce gun. The case opening 413 is blocked by the push rod 21 and no other blocking part is needed, so that the structure is simplified and the weight of the sauce gun is reduced. Preferably, the case opening 413 penetrated through the push rod through hole 411, two ends of the case opening 413 extend to the centerdirection of the push rod 21 to form an encasing and clamping arm 410 adhered to the push rod 21 to prevent the push rod 21 from falling off. The structure is compact and the occupation space is small, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and weight of the sauce gun. At the same time, under the action of the flexible device 46, the push rod 12 is adhered to the encasing and clamping arm 410, which not only can seal the case opening 413, but also can guide the push rod 21 to move up and down, thereby preventing the long push rod 21 from deflect during the course of moving up and down.

(22) In a general way, in order to facilitate to assemble the function case 41 in or disassemble the function case out of the cavity 311, the height of the cavity 311 shall be greater than the height of the function case 41. In order to prevent the function case 41 from waggling following the push rod in the process of moving down the push rod 21, the external wall of the function case 41 is provided with two internal recesses 414, the opening of each internal recess 414 faces toward the opening of the cavity 311 and is close to the trigger handle 32, and the fixed handle 31 is provided with two limit parts 47 located at different altitudes and matched with the two internal recesses 414 respectively. The two internal recesses 414 are matched with the two limit parts 47, which not only limit the function case 41 to move up and down, but also facilitate to quickly disassemble the function case 41. Further, at least one of the two limit parts 47 can be butted against the trigger handle 32 without exogenous process, thereby greatly lessening the impact of the trigger handle 32 on the function case 41 in the resetting process, and prolonging the service life of the function case 41.

(23) Further, the flexible device 46 is formed integrally and includes a first sheathing portion 461 and a second sheathing portion 462 sheathed on the first connecting piece 42 and the second connecting piece 44 respectively, and an intermediate portion 463 connected between the first sheathing portion 461 and the second sheathing portion 462, the free end of the first sheathing portion 461 is butted against the front push rod lock 43, and the free end of the second sheathing portion 462 is butted against the rear push rod lock 45. The flexible device 46 here can be either a torsion spring with a circular cross section or a deformed spring sheet with a rectangular cross section. Compared with the structure in which the torsion springs are arranged in respect to the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45 respectively, the structure is simpler and its installment is simplified; moreover, the space is greatly saved to further reduce the volume of the sauce gun since the interference problem of the abutting portion among the two torsion springs and the function case 41 does not need to consider. In order to ensure the first sheathing portion 461 and the second sheathing portion 462 are butted against the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45 respectively in the working process of the flexible device 46 all the time, and to avoid the failure of the flexible device 46, the first sheathing portion 461 and the second sheathing portion 462 are provided with a hook-like portion 460 that is hooked on the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45 respectively.

(24) Further, the first sliding groove 412 is a line groove, and the trigger handle 32 is provided with a U-shaped groove 321 matched with the first connecting piece 42. The structure is convenient for the user to dismantle the function case 41 from the cavity 311 in a condition that the trigger handle 32 is not dismantled; at the same time, as the first connecting piece 42 can move in the U-shaped groove 321, the trigger handle 32 drives the first connecting piece 42 to move up and down along the line groove when the trigger handle 32 is pulled, thereby driving the front push rod lock 43 to move the push rod 21 up and down; as the direction of moving the push rod by the front push rod lock 43 is consistent with the direction of the down-motion of the push rod 21, the design is more reasonable. The first sliding groove 412 is in a structure of an arc-shaped groove with respect to the hinge between the trigger handle 31 and the first connecting piece 42, the motion space is smaller, the mechanical property is better and the service life is longer.

(25) Further, the lower end of the push rod 21 is detachably connected with a top tray 23. The sauce is convenient to squeeze out by the push rod 21 due to the top tray 23, without need to provide another push tray by the user, so it is convenient to use. The top tray 23 is detachably connected to the push rod 21, the lower end of the push rod 21 can be conveniently inserted into the function case 41 after dismantling the top tray 23 from the push rod 21 or the lower end of the push rod 21 is pulled away from the function case 41 by pulling the push rod 21 upward, so as to facilitate to replace the function case 41. The push rod here can not only be buckled with the top tray 23, but also be fixed with the top tray 23 through a fastening screw 230, without limit. When the top tray 23 is fixed with the push rod 21 by the fastening screw 30, a rotation-proof structure that prevents the top tray 23 from rotating with respect to the push rod 21 is arranged between the push rod 21 and the top tray 23; further, the rotation-proof structure includes a rotation-proof groove 231 with at least one straight flange arranged on the top tray 23, and the external wall at the lower end of the push rod 21 is fitted with the internal wall of the rotation-proof groove 231.

(26) In order to make the flow rate of sauce squeezed out from the sauce gun controllable and adjustable, the first connecting piece 42 is provided with a projection 421 penetrating through the fixed handle 31, the fixed handle 31 is provided with a second sliding groove 312 for moving the first connecting piece 42 in a position corresponding to the first sliding groove 412, one side of the second sliding groove 312 is provided with a flow rate regulating device matched with the projection 421 for regulating the sliding displacement of the first connecting piece 42 in the second sliding groove 312, and the external wall of the fixed handle 31 is provided with an access groove 313 connected to the second sliding groove 312 and facilitating to install the projection 421 into the second sliding groove 312 from the opening end of the cavity 311. The flow rate regulating device controls the sliding displacement of the first connecting piece 42 in the second sliding groove 312, thereby further controls the rotation angle of the trigger handle 32 connected to the first connecting piece 42, and controls the down-motion displacement of the push rod 21 pushed by the front push rod lock 43 connected to the first connecting piece 42, so as to make the flow rate of sauce squeezed out every time controllable and adjustable.

(27) According to the invention, when installing the function case 41, the U-shaped groove 321 of the trigger handle 32 is first aligned with the access groove 313 and then pushed into the function case 41 from the opening end of the cavity 311 far away from the opening end of the trigger handle, in the pushing-in process, the first connecting piece 42 enters into the access groove 313 and slides into the U-shaped groove 321 of the trigger handle 32, the function case 41 moves to the two internal recesses 414 under the guidance of the U-shaped groove 321 and is butted against the two limit members 47 respectively, and then the lower end of the push rod 21 penetrates through the fixed handle 31 and the function case 41 and goes through the through hole 11 in a condition that the row teeth 211 on the push rod 21 is staggered from the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45, and then the top tray 23 is installed at the lower end of the push rod 21, and finally the push rod 21 rotates until the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45 are blocked into the tooth groove of the row teeth 211. When dismantling the function case 41, the top tray 23 is firstly dismantled from the push rod 21, and then the push rod 21 rotates to stagger the row teeth 211 on the push rod 21 from the front push rod lock 43 and the rear push rod lock 45, and the push rod 21 is pulled out upward, the dismantled push rod 21 extends into the cavity 311 from the opening end of the cavity 311 close to the trigger handle 32 to support and push the function case 41, so that the function case is pushed out from the opening end of the cavity 311 far away from the trigger handle 32. According to the invention, it is simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble the function case 41, the force required is low, even if a female user can also operate freely.
