A food processor

Abstract

The present invention provides a food processor, which includes a main body and a mixing cup installed above the main body. A motor is provided inside the main body, and a crushing knife driven by the motor is provided inside the mixing cup. The main body further includes a water tank disposed on one side and communicating with the mixing cup. The main body is in an "L" shape, and there is a gap between the mixing cup and the water tank. Such a setting makes the main body flattened, and the motor is also correspondingly flattened, thereby reducing the height of the main body, further reducing the space occupied by the main body in the whole food processor, that is, the main body occupies a small space, thus giving sufficient space to the mixing cup and the water tank, which not only facilitates the assembly of the mixing cup and the water tank, but also increases the capacity of the mixing cup and the water tank, ensures sufficient water volume, improves the single-time pulping capacity and the cleaning effect after use, and minimizes the resonance of the water tank to the greatest extent.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of food processors, and particularly to a food processor with a small space occupied by the main body. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, food processors are increasingly favored by people. Existing food processors generally include a base and a mixing cup. A motor is provided inside the base, and a crushing knife is provided inside the mixing cup. The motor drives the crushing knife to achieve stirring and crushing of food ingredients. In order to improve versatility, there is also a heating device provided to enable the food processor to have a heating function, so that hot drinks and other foods that need heating can be made.

[0003] In existing food processors, in order to achieve automatic water addition and automatic cleaning, a water tank is provided to supply water to the mixing cup. However, the existing bases are all very high, occupying a relatively large space in the overall food processor, resulting in a small space occupied by the mixing cup and the water tank, reducing the space of the mixing cup and the water tank, that is, reducing the capacity of the mixing cup and the capacity of the water tank, reducing the single-time pulp production amount, and the overall structure of the machine occupies a large space, making the whole machine too bulky and not conducive to handling. In addition, since the mixing cup is provided inside the base in existing food processors, resonance occurs between the mixing cup, the base and the water tank, and there is a relatively large noise when the motor rotates at high speed to process materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food processor with a small space occupied by the main body.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A food processor includes a main body and a mixing cup installed above the main body. A motor is provided inside the main body, and a crushing knife driven by the motor is provided inside the mixing cup. Among them, the main body further includes a water tank provided on one side and communicated with the mixing cup. The main body is in an "L" shape, and there is a gap between the mixing cup and the water tank.

[0006] Further, the height of the main body is h1, and the height of the water tank is h2, where h1 < h2 < 5h1.

[0007] Further, at least part of the water tank is arranged around the outside of the mixing cup. The mixing cup includes a cup body and a cup cover, and there is the gap between the outer side wall of the water tank and the cup body and / or the cup cover.

After the stirring cup is placed in place, the heat conducting member is in contact with the heating element.

[0010] Further, the lower end of the water tank is higher than the upper end of the motor.

[0011] Further, a water inlet communicating with the water tank is provided on the upper end surface of the main body. A water pump assembly connecting the water inlet and the water tank is provided inside the main body. The stirring cup is provided with a water inlet pipe for supplying water to the stirring cup and a control valve for controlling the on / off of the water inlet pipe. After the stirring cup is placed in place, the water inlet pipe is hermetically connected to the water inlet.

[0012] Further, the stirring cup is provided with a water through hole and a water outlet pipe. The control valve is provided with a water through valve port communicating with the water through hole, a water inlet valve port communicating with the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet valve port communicating with the water outlet pipe. The control valve controls the on / off of the water inlet pipe and the water through hole and the on / off of the water through hole and the water outlet pipe.

[0013] Further, a removable residual water box is provided inside the main body. A water outlet communicating with the residual water box is provided on the upper surface of the main body. After the stirring cup is placed in place, the water outlet pipe is hermetically connected to the water outlet.

[0014] Further, the stirring cup is provided with a handle. A handle cover is provided outside the handle. A receiving cavity is formed at the lower end of the handle cover. The control valve and an upper coupler connected to the control valve are provided in the receiving cavity. A lower coupler corresponding to the upper coupler is provided on the upper surface of the main body.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. In the present invention, a water tank is arranged on one side of the main machine, and water is added into the mixing cup by the water tank to realize automatic water addition and pulping. After the food processing machine completes pulping, the water tank can add water into the mixing cup again to realize automatic cleaning, thereby realizing no need for hand washing, which greatly improves the user experience and satisfaction. The main machine is in an "L" shape, and a gap is provided between the mixing cup and the water tank, so that the mixing cup can be taken and placed smoothly without resistance. The mixing cup, as an indirect vibration source, cannot generate direct resonance between the water tank, thereby reducing the resonance noise, making the whole machine economical in shape and low in processing noise, thereby improving the user experience. By setting the height of the main unit to h1 and the height of the water tank to h2, and h1<h2<5h1, the height of the main unit is greatly reduced, making the main unit more flat, and the motor is also set to be flat accordingly, thereby reducing the height of the main unit, and then reducing the space occupied by the main unit in the entire food processor, that is, the main unit occupies a small space, thereby giving sufficient space to the mixing cup and the water tank, which not only facilitates the assembly of the mixing cup and the water tank, but also increases the capacity of the mixing cup and the water tank to ensure sufficient water. The water tank can be filled with water at least once for pulping and multiple cleanings, thereby improving the single pulping capacity and the cleaning effect after use.

[0017] 2. The water tank is at least partially arranged around the outside of the blending cup, so that the whole machine structure is integrated and highly integrated. During packaging and transportation, the relative position of the water tank is fixed and the blending cup is not easy to collide. A gap is set between the blending cup and the water tank, which can be a gap between the cup body and / or the cup cover and the water tank, so as to save space and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of various components to avoid mutual interference.

[0018] 3. By setting a mounting seat on the upper end surface of the main unit, and the water tank and the mounting seat are detachably connected, it is not only convenient to install and use the water tank, but also the water tank is installed stably and reliably and is not easy to tip over, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the water tank during operation.

[0019] 4. A mounting portion is provided on the upper end surface of the main machine to facilitate the installation and fixation of the blender cup, thereby ensuring the stability of the blender cup after placement, and the blender cup is detachably connected to the main machine. After the food processor is used, the blender cup can be removed, which is convenient for storage and detailed cleaning of the blender cup.

[0020] 5. The mounting portion is protruded from the upper end surface of the main unit, and a heating element is arranged on the mounting portion, and a heat-conducting member is correspondingly arranged at the bottom of the blending cup. After the blending cup is put in place, the heat-conducting member fits with the heating element to heat the water and ingredients in the blending cup, thereby realizing the preparation of hot drinks and cooked food. This heating method has high heating efficiency, less heat loss, simple structure, and is easy to produce and process.

[0021] 6. The lower end of the water tank is higher than the upper end of the motor, which avoids the water tank occupying too much space in the vertical direction. At the same time, it flattens the motor to the greatest extent, flattens the main body, and makes the water tank easy to install. The L-shaped main body structure is stable and reliable.

[0022] 7. By providing a water inlet and a water pump assembly connecting the water inlet to the water tank, it not only facilitates water supply, but also can increase the pressure of the water through the water pump assembly to accelerate the water supply speed, improve the water supply efficiency, and control the on-off of the water through the water inlet pipe and the control valve. At the same time, after the mixing cup is placed in place, a sealed connection is formed between the water inlet pipe and the water inlet to ensure that water does not leak during water inlet, guarantee the sealing and reliability during water supply, and also prevent water from entering the main body and damaging other electrical components inside the main body, so as to ensure the normal service life and durability of other electrical components inside the main body.

[0023] 8. By providing a water passing port and a water outlet pipe on the mixing cup, the control valve is provided with a water passing valve port communicating with the water passing port, a water inlet valve port communicating with the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet valve port communicating with the water outlet pipe. In this way, the control valve can control the on-off between the water inlet pipe and the water passing port, and can also control the on-off between the water passing port and the water outlet pipe. One control valve realizes multiple control states, reducing components and lowering the overall cost of the machine.

[0024] 9. By providing a detachable residual water box inside the main body, the upper surface of the main body is provided with a water outlet communicating with the residual water box, and after the mixing cup is placed in place, the water outlet pipe is hermetically connected to the water outlet. This not only facilitates the collection of waste water, but also ensures that the waste water does not leak out during discharge, that is, it will not spill on the workbench, facilitating subsequent cleaning, saving time and effort.

[0025] 10. By providing a handle, it is convenient to pick up and place the mixing cup. A handle cover is provided outside the handle, and a receiving cavity is formed at the lower end of the handle cover. The control valve and the upper coupler are both received in the receiving cavity. In this way, the control valve and the upper coupler can be well hidden to ensure the appearance of the food processor. A lower coupler corresponding to the upper coupler is provided on the upper surface of the main body. The coupling method not only facilitates electrical connection, but also ensures reliable and stable electrical connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] Such as Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a food processor with a small footprint of the main body, which includes a main body 1 and a mixing cup 2 installed above the main body 1. A motor 3 is provided inside the main body 1, and a crushing knife 4 driven by the motor 3 is provided inside the mixing cup 2. The mixing cup 2 specifically includes a cup body 21, a cup lid 22 covering the upper part of the cup body 21, and a metal disc 23 hermetically arranged at the bottom of the cup body 21. A handle 211 is provided on the side wall of the cup body 21 to facilitate taking and placing the mixing cup 2. The cup lid 22, the cup body 21, and the metal disc 23 enclose a crushing cavity. The crushing knife 4 is rotatably arranged at the center of the bottom of the metal disc 23. The lower end of the crushing knife 4 is connected with an upper connector 41. The motor 3 includes a motor shaft 31, and the upper end of the motor shaft 31 is connected with a lower connector 32. The motor 3 drives the crushing knife 4 to rotate through the transmission cooperation between the upper connector 41 and the lower connector 32, so as to stir and crush the water and ingredients in the crushing cavity.

[0042] In this embodiment, a water tank 5 communicating with the mixing cup 2 is provided on one side of the main body 1. The water tank adds water to the mixing cup to realize automatic water addition for pulping. After the food processor finishes pulping, the water tank can add water to the mixing cup again to realize automatic cleaning, thus realizing no need for manual washing, greatly improving the user experience and satisfaction. And the lower end of the water tank 5 is higher than the upper end of the motor 2, making the main body flattened, and the motor is also correspondingly flattened, thereby reducing the height of the main body, and further reducing the space occupied by the main body in the whole food processor, that is, the main body has a small footprint, thus giving sufficient space to the mixing cup and the water tank, which not only facilitates the assembly of the mixing cup and the water tank, but also increases the capacity of the mixing cup and the water tank, ensuring sufficient water volume, improving the single - time pulping capacity and the cleaning effect after use.

[0043] The main body is in an "L" shape, and the water tank forms the protruding part of the "L" - shaped main body. There is a gap between the mixing cup and the water tank. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the whole mixing cup, there is a gap between the mixing cup and the water tank from top to bottom. Specifically, the height of the main body 1 is h1, and the height of the water tank 5 is h2, where h1 < h2 < 5h1, and h2 is specifically 3h2, that is, the height of the water tank is greater than the height of the main body, greatly reducing the height of the main body, making the main body more flattened, reducing the occupied space of the main body, and at the same time ensuring that the space of the water tank is large enough, so as to have a large enough capacity to ensure that the water in the water tank can at least realize one - time pulping and multiple cleanings at a time, that is, ensuring the pulping effect and the cleaning effect. The water tank part is arranged around the outside of the mixing cup. In this embodiment, the water tank circumferentially surrounds 1 / 3 of the side wall of the mixing cup 1, thus providing guidance for the installation of the mixing cup. The mixing cup includes a cup body and a cup lid covering the cup mouth. There are gaps between both the cup body and the cup lid and the water tank, avoiding resonance and assembly, achieving the purpose of detachable and thorough cleaning of the mixing cup while achieving silent wall - breaking.

[0044] Moreover, in order to ensure the stability of the placement of the water tank, a mounting seat 11 for mounting the water tank 5 can be provided on the upper end surface of the main machine 1. The water tank 5 is detachably connected to the mounting seat 4. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank 5. A water inlet interface 111 is provided on the mounting seat 11. A top rod 1111 for opening the water outlet of the water tank is provided in the water inlet interface 111, so that the water in the water tank 5 can enter the pulping chamber. At the same time, by setting the mounting seat, not only is the installation and use of the water tank convenient, but the installation of the water tank is also stable and reliable and not easy to tip over, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the water tank when working.

[0045] In order to ensure the stability of the mixing cup, a mounting portion 12 for mounting the mixing cup 2 can be provided on the upper end surface of the main unit 1 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the mixing cup, ensure the stability of the mixing cup after placement, and the mixing cup 2 is detachably connected to the main unit 1. After the food processor is used, the mixing cup can be removed to facilitate the storage of the mixing cup and detailed cleaning of the mixing cup. The mixing cup 2 also includes a cup seat 29 provided at the bottom of the cup body 21 and the outer periphery of the metal plate 23. The cup seat 29 is connected and fixed to the cup body 21 by threads, and the metal plate 23 is clamped and fixed. The cooperation between the cup seat 29 and the mounting portion 12 can better limit and fix the mixing cup 2 to ensure the stability of the mixing cup when working.

[0046] At the same time, the mounting portion 12 is protruded from the upper end surface of the main unit 1, and the mounting portion 12 is provided with a heating element 121, which is specifically a heating plate. A heat conductor is provided at the bottom of the stirring cup 2, and the heat conductor is a metal plate 23. After the stirring cup 2 is placed in place, the heat conductor fits with the heating element 121, that is, the metal plate 23 fits with the heating element 121, and the shapes of the two are matched, which is more convenient to fit and more tightly fit. In this way, the water and ingredients in the stirring cup can be heated, thereby realizing the preparation of hot drinks and cooked food. In addition, this heating method has high heating efficiency, less heat loss, simple structure, and is easy to produce and process.

[0047] More specifically, the upper end surface of the main unit 1 is provided with a water inlet 13 connected to the water tank 5, and a water pump assembly 6 connecting the water inlet 13 and the water tank 5 is provided in the main unit 1. The water pump assembly 6 includes a water pump 61 and a water pump pipeline 62. The water pump pipeline 62 includes a water pump water inlet pipeline 621 connected to the water inlet interface 111 and a water pump water outlet pipeline 622 connected to the water inlet 13, so as to connect the water tank 5 with the water inlet 13, which is not only convenient for water supply, but also can increase the water pressure through the water pump assembly to speed up the water supply speed and improve the water supply efficiency. The stirring cup 2 is provided with a water inlet pipeline 25 for supplying water to the stirring cup 2 and a control valve 26 for controlling the on and off of the water inlet pipeline 25. After the stirring cup 2 is placed in place, the water inlet pipeline 25 is sealed and connected to the water inlet 13 to ensure that water will not leak during water intake, to ensure the sealing and reliability during water supply, and to prevent water from entering the main unit and damaging other electrical components in the main unit, so as to ensure the normal service life and durability of other electrical components in the main unit.

[0048] Secondly, the mixing cup 2 is provided with a water inlet 27 and a water outlet pipeline 28. The water inlet 27 is specifically arranged on the side wall of the metal disc 23. The control valve 26 is provided with a water inlet valve port 261 communicated with the water inlet 27, a water inlet valve port 262 communicated with the water inlet pipeline 25, and a water outlet valve port 263 communicated with the water outlet pipeline 28. The control valve 26 controls the on-off between the water inlet pipeline 25 and the water inlet 27 and the on-off between the water inlet and the water outlet pipeline 28. In this way, the control valve can control the on-off between the water inlet pipeline and the water inlet, and can also control the on-off between the water inlet and the water outlet pipeline. One control valve realizes multiple control states, reduces components, and lowers the overall cost of the machine.

[0049] In order to facilitate the connection of the wastewater after cleaning, a detachable water residue box 7 can be arranged inside the main machine 1. There is a cavity inside the main machine 1. The water residue box 7 is detachably arranged in the cavity of the main machine 1 in a pull-out manner. The upper surface of the main machine 1 is provided with a water outlet 14 communicated with the water residue box 7. After the mixing cup 2 is placed in place, the water outlet pipeline 28 is hermetically connected to the water outlet 14. In this way, it is not only convenient to collect the wastewater, but also the wastewater will not leak out when being discharged, that is, it will not spill on the workbench, facilitating subsequent cleaning, saving time and effort.

[0050] In order to prevent the user from being scalded when holding the handle to pick up and place the mixing cup, a handle cover 212 can be arranged outside the handle 211. The handle cover 212 is a plastic handle cover, which can achieve a better anti-scalding and heat-insulating effect. And a receiving cavity 2121 is formed at the lower end of the handle cover 212. The control valve 26 and the upper coupler 81 connected to the control valve 26 are received in the receiving cavity 2121. The lower surface of the main machine 1 is provided with a lower coupler 82 corresponding to the upper coupler 81. In this way, the control valve and the upper coupler can be well hidden to ensure the appearance of the food processor. And a lower coupler corresponding to the upper coupler is arranged on the upper surface of the main machine. In the way of the coupler, it is not only convenient for electrical connection, but also the electrical connection is reliable and stable. More specifically, the handle cover 212 includes a first handle cover 2122 and a second handle cover 2123. The handle cover is formed by buckling the two handle covers with each other, which is not only convenient for the processing and forming of the handle cover, but also convenient for the assembly of the handle cover.

[0051] In order to improve the versatility of the food processor, the food processor can further include a steamer assembly 91 for replacing the mixing cup 2. The steamer assembly 91 is placed above the heating element 121 and is attached to the heating element 121. The heating element 121 heats the steamer assembly 91, thereby realizing the steaming function, improving the versatility of the food processor, and improving the user experience and satisfaction.

[0052] Of course, the food processor can also include a frying pan assembly 92 for replacing the mixing cup 2. The frying pan assembly 92 is placed above the heating element 121 and fits with the heating element 121. The heating element 121 heats the frying pan assembly 92, thereby realizing the frying and grilling functions, improving the versatility of the food processor, and improving the user experience and satisfaction; that is, the food processor includes the mixing cup 2, the steamer assembly 91 and the frying pan assembly 92, realizing three functions, greatly improving the versatility of the food processor, and improving the user satisfaction.

[0053] On the basis of the L-shaped machine base, this embodiment further optimizes the main machine and the motor. Specifically, the main machine also includes an air duct flowing through the motor. Along the air flow direction, the air duct includes an air inlet channel located upstream of the motor, an air outlet channel located downstream of the motor, and a heat dissipation cavity located between the air inlet channel and the air outlet channel. The air outlet channel is arranged around the side wall of the motor. The lowest height of the machine base can be the maximum height of the motor and the air outlet channel. Therefore, the height of the machine base can be reduced, thereby reducing the height of the stirring cup, reducing the shaking of the machine base and the stirring cup during processing, thereby reducing the noise generation. And when the air outlet channel surrounds the side wall of the motor, the noise generated by the motor will be blocked by the air outlet channel when it propagates outward from all sides of the motor, thereby reducing the propagation of the noise generated by the motor, which plays a role in reducing noise. In addition, since the water tank is arranged on one side of the main machine, the motor locks most of the noise and vibration in the main machine, thereby avoiding resonance caused by the water tank. The heat dissipation cavity is formed inside the motor, and the heat dissipation cavity is provided with a heat dissipation cavity outlet for air to leave the heat dissipation cavity. The heat dissipation cavity outlet is located on the side wall of the motor, and the air outlet channel is connected to the heat dissipation cavity outlet. If the heat dissipation cavity outlet is located on the top wall or bottom wall of the motor, and the air outlet channel is connected to the heat dissipation cavity outlet, it is inevitable that part of the air outlet channel is located above or below the motor, so that the height of the machine base can only reach the sum of the heights of the part of the air outlet channel located above or below the motor and the motor, which is not conducive to reducing the height of the machine base, and then not conducive to reducing the height of the mixing cup, and not conducive to reducing the shaking of the machine base and the mixing cup during processing, and thus not conducive to reducing noise generation. The air outlet channel is spirally wrapped around the motor, and the air outlet channel gradually becomes larger along the direction of air flow. At this time, the air will continuously emit, interfere, and other phenomena during the flow of air in the air outlet channel, thereby reducing noise.

[0054] It can be understood that h2 can also be 2h1, 2.5h1, 3h1, 3.5h1, 4h1, 4.5h1, 5h1, etc., depending on the specific structure.

[0055] It is understandable that the food processor may also include only a steamer assembly that replaces the blending cup.

[0056] It is understandable that the food processor may also include only a frying pan assembly that is used in place of the mixing cup.

[0057] Except for the above preferred embodiments, the technical solutions protected by the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. It should be noted that the combination of the technical solutions of any one embodiment with the technical solutions of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
