Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and in particular to blending cup assemblies and food processors. Background Technology

[0002] The food processor includes a main unit and a blending cup assembly. The blending cup assembly includes a cup body assembly and a blade assembly. The cup body assembly includes a cup body and a cup base assembled with the cup body. The blade assembly is assembled with the cup base and includes blade components. The main unit includes a motor that drives the blade assembly to rotate within the cup body, thereby processing food ingredients.

[0003] The blade assembly of the aforementioned food processor is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and the food processor has relatively few functions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a blending cup assembly and a food processor. The blending cup assembly can achieve more functions, and the blade assembly is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0005] This application provides a mixing cup assembly. The mixing cup assembly includes a cup body assembly, a support, a blade assembly, and a blade assembly. The cup body assembly includes a cup body and a lid assembly that fits onto the cup body. The blade assembly includes a blade assembly assembled to the cup body assembly and a first blade holder assembly. The first blade holder assembly includes a blade holder mounted on the blade assembly and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the blade holder. The support is detachably located within the cup body and connected to the blade assembly. When the support is installed within the cup body, the blade assembly is connected to the rotating shaft via a clutch, and the support abuts against the cup body and / or the lid assembly to fix the blade assembly to the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, the rotating shaft drives the blade assembly to rotate synchronously. As described above, the support is detachably located within the cup body, and the blade assembly is connected to the rotating shaft via a clutch. Therefore, the assembly and disassembly of the support, the blade assembly, and the rotating shaft are convenient, facilitating cleaning and improving safety (e.g., preventing the blade assembly from falling off). Moreover, the mixing cup assembly can perform multiple functions, such as using the blade assembly to stir ingredients, and the blade assembly can be disassembled and used as a health pot.

[0006] In some embodiments, the support includes a support connecting portion rotatably connected to the knife assembly, a support top, and connectors. Multiple connectors are evenly spaced around the circumference of the cup body and each connects the support top and the support connecting portion. Each connector is bent and includes a bent portion that converges at the support connecting portion, which is located on the axis of the cup body. As described above, because there are multiple connectors, they are evenly spaced, converge at the support connecting portion, and the support connecting portion is located on the axis of the cup body, the support provides better support after assembly (e.g., for placing utensils for steaming or cooking food on the support), ensuring the knife assembly remains on the axis. This prevents the knife assembly from deviating from the axis during operation, such as falling off or causing noise due to deviation from the axis.

[0007] In some embodiments, each connector includes a first connecting segment connected to the support connecting portion and a second connecting segment connected to the first connecting segment. The first connecting segment is bent relative to the second connecting segment to form the bent portion, and the second connecting segment is positioned along the axial direction of the cup body. As described above, since the second connecting segment is positioned circumferentially along the cup body and has the bent portion, the support can provide better support, and it is also convenient to place utensils for steaming or cooking food, such as a steaming bowl, which can be supported by the bent portion. When the mixing cup assembly has an inner cover, the second connecting segment, positioned along the axial direction of the cup body, contacts the side wall of the upper cavity of the inner cover, and the bent portion abuts against the inner cover (e.g., the inner cover abutment portion), thus providing better support for the inner cover.

[0008] In some embodiments, the second connecting segment has a vertical height of H1, where 0 ≤ H1 ≤ 200 mm; the first connecting segment extends laterally from the bent portion and then vertically downward, such that the vertical distance between the bent portion and the end of the support connecting portion is H2, where 5 mm ≤ H2 ≤ 100 mm. With the above configuration, since 0 ≤ H1 ≤ 200 mm, the support has good stability, and consequently, the inner cover assembly is stable. Since 5 mm ≤ H2 ≤ 100 mm, the support has good stability and lower structural strength requirements, thus, when the stirring cup assembly includes an inner cover, the inner cover assembly is stable.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft is connected to a rotating shaft clutch, and the blade assembly includes a mating clutch. One of the blade assembly and the bracket is provided with an insertion hole, and the other is provided with a mating shaft. The mating clutch connects to the rotating shaft clutch to connect the blade assembly to the rotating shaft, and the mating shaft is inserted into the insertion hole to achieve a rotatable connection between the blade assembly and the bracket. As described above, the connection between the mating clutch and the rotating shaft clutch, and the insertion of the mating shaft into the insertion hole, achieve the detachable connection. The connection between the blade assembly and the rotating shaft and bracket is simple, disassembly is convenient, and cleaning is easy.

[0010] In some embodiments, the blending cup assembly includes an inner cover assembled with the support, and the blade assembly includes a first blade assembly used in conjunction with the inner cover. The first blade assembly is detachably connected to the support and rotates within the inner cover. As described above, because the first blade assembly rotates within the inner cover, the food is blended in a smaller space than the cup body, resulting in better blending and pulverizing effects. Furthermore, using the inner cover helps reduce noise during the operation of the food processor.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support includes a bent portion; the inner cover includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and the upper cavity is enlarged relative to the lower cavity to form an inner cover abutment at the intersection of the upper and lower cavities, with the bent portion abutting against the abutment. As described above, during blending, the liquid medium (e.g., water) rises due to the eddy current generated by the blending. Because the upper cavity is enlarged relative to the lower cavity, water flows from a smaller space to a larger space, obviously reducing its height. Therefore, this design helps to slow down the rise of water level during blender operation, preventing water overflow, ensuring the stability of the support, and consequently the blade assembly, resulting in more stable blender operation and less wobbling. Furthermore, the abutment between the bent portion and the inner cover abutment also contributes to the stability of the inner cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, both the inner cover abutment portion and the bending portion are steps. As described above, not only is it easy to achieve abutment between the inner cover and the support, but also, when the support is used alone (e.g., as a steamer rack), the steps make it easier to support the appliance used for steaming or cooking food.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inner cover and the blade disc form a food mixing cavity, or the inner cover includes the food mixing cavity. The support includes a support connecting portion rotatably connected to the blade assembly. The support connecting portion includes a baffle plate located at the top of the food mixing cavity and forming a food inlet between the baffle plate and the inner cover sidewall of the inner cover. As described above, the baffle plate, located at the top of the food mixing cavity, can confine the food inside the mixing cavity during the mixing process, thereby improving the mixing effect and increasing the mixing efficiency.

[0014] In some embodiments, the blade assembly further includes a second blade assembly used separately from the inner cover. This second blade assembly is detachably connected to the support and connected to the rotating shaft via a clutch. The second blade assembly rotates within the cup body. As described above, by using the second blade assembly separately and connecting it to the support and rotating shaft, the mixing cup assembly can achieve more functions.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mixing cup assembly includes a third blade assembly used independently relative to the support. This third blade assembly is magnetically attached to the rotating shaft and rotates synchronously within the cup body with the shaft. As described above, the mixing cup assembly includes a separately usable third blade assembly, which, through magnetic attachment to the rotating shaft, can rotate at low speed, enabling multiple functions such as a blending kettle. Furthermore, the magnetic attachment simplifies the connection between the third blade assembly and the rotating shaft.

[0016] In some embodiments, the inner cover includes at least two inner covers with different structures, which are detachably assembled to the support. As described above, because the inner cover includes at least two inner covers with different structures, the interchangeable use of the inner covers allows the mixing cup assembly to perform different functions. The detachable assembly of the inner cover to the support facilitates cleaning of both the support and the inner cover.

[0017] In some embodiments, the inner cover includes an inner cover top, and the bracket includes a bracket top. One of the bracket top and the inner cover top is provided with a protrusion, and the other with a recess. The protrusion is located within the recess, enabling the bracket and the inner cover to be detachably assembled. As described above, the protrusion and the recess, combined with the recess, facilitate a more convenient detachable connection between the bracket and the inner cover, and the structure for this detachable connection is simple.

[0018] In some embodiments, the inner cover and the first blade assembly include at least one of the following:

[0019] (a) The inner cover is a first type of inner cover that is through-hole. The first type of inner cover includes an inner cover cavity and an inner cover sidewall that surrounds the inner cover cavity. The inner cover sidewall is provided with a filter hole, and the filter hole connects the inner cover cavity with the interior of the cup body. The first type of inner cover and the blade plate constitute a food mixing cavity, and the first blade assembly is located in the food mixing cavity.

[0020] (b) The inner cover is a second type of inner cover that is through-hole. The second type of inner cover includes an inner cover cavity and an inner cover sidewall that surrounds the inner cover cavity. The inner cover sidewall separates the inner cover cavity from the interior of the cup body. The second type of inner cover and the blade plate form a food mixing cavity. The first blade assembly is located in the food mixing cavity.

[0021] (c) The inner cover is a dry grinding inner cover that realizes the dry grinding and pulverizing function, and the first blade assembly is a blade assembly that realizes the dry grinding and pulverizing function. As described above, since the inner cover and the first blade assembly satisfy at least one of the above conditions, the stirring cup has multiple functions.

[0022] In some embodiments, the support includes a support top; the support top abuts against the cup body to restrict the circumferential rotation of the support within the cup body; the cup body assembly includes a cup lid assembly, the cup lid assembly being provided with a cup lid abutment portion, and the support top abutting against the cup lid abutment portion to restrict the axial movement of the support within the cup body. With the above configuration, both the circumferential and axial movements of the support are restricted, thus ensuring the support is stable within the cup body, preventing tipping, and better securing the knife assembly to ensure stable rotation of the knife assembly.

[0023] In some embodiments, the support includes a support top, a support lower abutment, and a support connecting portion connected to the blade assembly, the support connecting portion being higher than the support lower abutment; the support lower abutment abuts against the blade disc and the support top abuts against the cup body; or, the mixing cup assembly includes a cup lid assembly, the support lower abutment abuts against the blade disc and the support top abuts against the cup lid assembly. With the above configuration, the support is held firmly between the blade disc and the cup lid assembly or between the blade disc and the cup body by the support lower abutment and the support top, preventing the support from easily loosening and thus better securing the blade assembly, ensuring stable rotation of the blade assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the mixing cup assembly includes an inner cover detachably assembled with the support, the inner cover being located within the support and abutting against the lower abutment of the support and the cup lid assembly. As described above, the inner cover is also abutted between the lower abutment of the support and the cup lid assembly, ensuring stability and a simple structure for fixing the inner cover, thus better ensuring that food is blended within a small space.

[0025] In some embodiments, the cup body includes a sidewall with baffles, each baffle spaced apart and evenly distributed circumferentially. A cup-limiting portion is located at the top of each baffle. The top periphery of the support has evenly distributed, spaced notches, and the cup-limiting portion is located within the notches. With this configuration, the cup-limiting portion is located at the top of the baffles and within the notches. Furthermore, the baffles are evenly distributed circumferentially, resulting in uniform force distribution on the support. This simple structure prevents the support from rotating circumferentially, providing good positioning and facilitating installation. Additionally, the locking structure requirements between the lid assembly and the cup body are reduced after this limiting method.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cup-body limiting portion and the top of the deflector rib form a horizontal abutment step; adjacent notches form an upper abutment portion on the support; the upper abutment portion on the support is located on the abutment step; and / or, the upper abutment portion on the support abuts against the side wall of the cup body. As described above, since the upper abutment portion on the support is located on the abutment step, the support will not move axially downwards within the cup body. This arrangement, combined with the circumferential limiting of the support within the cup body and the upward axial movement of the cup lid assembly within the cup body, limits both axial vertical movement and circumferential movement, thereby better limiting the support and improving stability. The abutment portion on the support abutting against the side wall of the cup body, combined with the axial and circumferential limiting of the support, further enhances the stability of the inner cover assembly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the stirring cup assembly includes a lid assembly, which includes a lid abutment portion; the lid abutment portion includes a horizontally arranged first abutment surface and a vertically arranged second abutment surface; the support includes a support top, which includes a first mating surface that abuts the first abutment surface and a second mating surface that abuts the second abutment surface. With this configuration, the support top abuts against the lid abutment portion, and the support connecting portion is connected to the blade assembly. The blade assembly is connected to a rotating shaft via a clutch, thus limiting the axial movement of the support within the cup body, particularly upwards. The engagement of the second abutment surface and the second mating surface also restricts horizontal tilting. Therefore, the support can be stably positioned within the cup body, thereby ensuring stable rotation of the blade assembly.

[0028] In some embodiments, the mixing cup assembly includes an inner cover detachably assembled with the support, the inner cover abutting against the blade disc and the support. As described above, the inner cover is also abutted between the blade disc and the support, ensuring stability of the inner cover and blade assembly. The structure for fixing the inner cover is simple and better ensures that food is blended within a small space.

[0029] In some embodiments, the support is located inside the inner cover. As described above, having the support inside the inner cover is more advantageous than having it outside the inner cover, as it allows for better mixing of larger pieces of food, such as chunks.

[0030] On the other hand, embodiments of this application disclose a food processor. The food processor includes any of the aforementioned blending cup assemblies and a main unit, wherein one of the main unit and the cup body assembly of the blending cup assembly includes a motor, and the first blade assembly is connected to the motor via a clutch. As described above, the food processor at least has the beneficial effects of the blending cup assembly, which will not be elaborated further.

[0031] In some embodiments, the food processor further includes a second blade assembly, which is interchangeably assembled with the first blade assembly to the blade plate. As described above, by replacing the first and second blade assemblies, the functionality of the blending cup assembly can be further expanded. Attached Figure Description

[0065] For more information on enabling the food processor to perform more functions and for easier assembly and disassembly, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 27 , Figure 28 , Figure 23 and Figure 17 This application discloses various mixing cup assemblies. These mixing cup assemblies include a cup body assembly 1, a support 21, a blade assembly 3, and a blade assembly (…). Figure 23 and Figure 17 The middle-cutting component is named the first-cutting component 34. Figure 27 The blade component in the middle is named the second blade component 37. Figure 28 The middle blade assembly is designated as the third blade assembly 38. Comparing the foregoing figures, those skilled in the art will understand that the mixing cup assembly of this application may include an inner cover 22. In this case, the inner cover 22 and the support 21 constitute the inner cover assembly 2. Those skilled in the art will also understand that the mixing cup assembly may also be as follows... Figure 27That does not include the inner cover 22. The cup body assembly 1 includes a cup body 11 and a cup lid assembly 13 that covers the cup body 11. The blade assembly 3 includes a blade disc 31 assembled to the cup body assembly 1 and a first blade holder assembly. The first blade holder assembly includes a blade holder 32 mounted on the blade disc 31 and a rotating shaft 33 rotatably connected to the blade holder 32. The rotating shaft 33 and the blade holder 32 can be rotatably connected in any way. The bracket 21 is detachably located inside the cup body 11 and is connected to the blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37). In various embodiments of this application, the blade assembly can be fixedly connected to the bracket 21, as follows. Figures 24 to 26 In the embodiment shown, the blade assembly can also be detachably connected to the bracket 21, such as... Figure 11 and Figure 12 The embodiment shown is illustrated. The blade assembly (second blade assembly 37) is connected to the rotating shaft 33 via a clutch. The clutch structure is not limited, but one clutch structure is described below. When the bracket 21 is installed inside the cup body 11, the blade assembly is connected to the rotating shaft 33 via the clutch. The bracket 21 abuts against the cup body 11 and / or the cup lid assembly 13 to fix the blade assembly 34 to the rotating shaft 33. When the rotating shaft 33 rotates, the rotating shaft 33 drives the blade assembly 34 to rotate synchronously. In various embodiments of this application, the blade assembly can abut against the cup body 11, the cup lid assembly 13, or both. The method of abutment is not limited, and several embodiments are described below.

[0066] As described above, the bracket 21 is detachably located inside the cup body 11, and the blade assembly is connected to the rotating shaft via a clutch. Thus, the bracket 21, the blade assembly, and the rotating shaft 33 are easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to clean, and can also improve safety (such as preventing the blade assembly from falling off). Moreover, the mixing cup assembly can achieve multiple functions, such as using the blade assembly to stir food, and the mixing cup assembly can be used as a health pot after the blade assembly is disassembled.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 and combined Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 This application discloses a first type of mixing cup assembly 10. Furthermore, this application also discloses a food processor. Figure 1 As shown, the food processor includes a main unit 20 and any of the blending cup components 10 disclosed in this application. Figure 2As shown, the first type of stirring cup assembly 10 includes a cup body assembly 1, an inner cover assembly 2, and a blade assembly 3. The cup body assembly 1 includes a cup body 11, a cup holder 12 assembled with the cup body 11, and a motor 14.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 And see Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 The inner cover assembly 2 is detachably located inside the cup body 11 and includes a bracket 21 and at least two types of inner covers 22. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first type of inner cover 22 is shown. Figures 19 to 23 The dry-grinding inner cover (third type of inner cover) is shown. Each of the inner covers 22 is replaceably assembled to the bracket 21. Figure 3 and Figure 5 This illustrates that the first type of inner cover 22 and bracket 21 are in a disassembled state. Figure 6 This illustrates the first type of inner cover 22 and bracket 21 in the assembled state. Figure 19 and Figure 20 The diagram shows the third type of inner cover 22 (dry-grinding inner cover) and the bracket 21 in a disassembled state. Figure 22 The diagram illustrates the third type of inner cover 22 (dry grinding inner cover) and the support 21 in their assembled state. Although the above description uses two types of inner covers—one with a filter hole and one without—as examples to illustrate the construction of the mixing cup assembly, the inner cover 22 is not limited to these structures. That is, as long as the inner cover 22 includes at least two different structures, and the inner cover 22 is detachably assembled with the support 21 for interchangeable use, the mixing cup assembly can achieve different functions. The detachable assembly of the inner cover with the support facilitates cleaning of both the support 21 and the inner cover 22. There are various ways to achieve this detachable assembly; for example, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 and combined Figure 7 and Figure 18 Each inner cover 22 includes an inner cover top, and one of the support top 212 and the inner cover top is provided with a protrusion 220, while the other is provided with a recess 2120. In the embodiments of this application, the inner cover top is provided with a protrusion 220, and the support top 212 is provided with a recess 2120. The recess 2120 can penetrate the side wall of the inner cover 22 radially. The protrusion 220 is located within the recess 2120 to achieve the detachable connection. As described above, through the cooperation of the protrusion 220 and the recess 2120, the support 21 and the inner cover 22 can be more easily detachably connected, and the structure for achieving the detachable connection is simple.

[0069] Please see Figure 22 , Figure 23 , Figure 28 , Figure 17 , Figure 2 and combined Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 The cutter head assembly 3 includes a cutter head 31 and a first cutter holder assembly. The first cutter holder assembly includes a cutter holder 32 mounted on the cutter head 31, a rotating shaft 33 rotatably connected to the cutter holder 32, and at least one first cutter assembly 34. For example... Figures 2 to 4 , Figures 9 to 12 The first type of first blade assembly 34 is a blade assembly used for pulping function, such as... Figures 22 to 23 and combined Figures 19 to 21 The second type of first blade assembly 34 is a blade assembly used for dry grinding and pulverizing. In the embodiments of this application, the first blade assembly 34 mainly refers to a blade assembly that can be located inside the inner cover 22 and connected to the rotating shaft 33 and the bracket 21. The blade holder 32 can be fixedly assembled with the blade disc 31 or detachably assembled. In the case of detachable assembly, the blade disc assembly 3 is easier to clean and the cleaning is more thorough.

[0070] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 17 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 The inner cover assembly 2 is located inside the cup body 11, and the bracket 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 33. When the rotating shaft 33 rotates, it drives the first blade assembly 34 to rotate within the inner cover 22, thereby causing the first blade assembly 34 to agitate the food. As described above, since the mixing cup assembly 10 includes at least two types of inner covers 22 and at least one first blade assembly 34, the combination of the first blade assembly 34 and the inner cover 22 can achieve different functions, such as... Figures 2 to 12 The first blade assembly 34 shown realizes the pulping function. Figures 19 to 21The other first blade assembly 34 shown realizes the dry grinding function. Therefore, the blending cup assembly 10 can achieve more functions. In addition, since the inner cover 22 is located inside the cup body 11, the first blade assembly 34 stirs the food in a smaller space than the cup body 11 within the inner cover 22, resulting in better stirring and grinding effect, such as the food being ground into finer particles. Secondly, by using the inner cover assembly 2, it is also beneficial to reduce the noise during the operation of the food processor. For example, when the inner cover 22 has filter holes 223, the water between the inner cover 22 and the side wall 110 of the cup body can play a noise reduction role. When the inner cover 22 does not have filter holes, the inner cover 22 and the side wall 110 of the cup body are equivalent to a double layer of noise isolation, which can also play a noise reduction role. Finally, since the support 21 and any inner cover 22 can be detached and assembled, and the inner cover assembly 2 is detachably located inside the cup body 11, the support 21 can be used alone as a steaming rack or other purposes, further expanding the functionality of the food processor. Of course, technicians can understand that there may only be one type of inner cover 22. In the case of only one type, the food is still being stirred in a small space, and the stirring and crushing effect is also good. In addition, the noise during the operation of the food processor can also be reduced by using the inner cover.

[0071] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 17 and Figure 9 In comparison, the first blade assembly 34 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 33 and the bracket 21. The first blade assembly 34 can be considered as a blade assembly that needs to be used in conjunction with the inner cover 22. The blade assembly also includes a second blade assembly 37 detachably connected to the rotating shaft and the bracket. Each inner cover 22 is replaceably assembled to the bracket 21 so that the bracket 21 can be used alone or the bracket 21 and the inner cover 22 can form the inner cover assembly 2. Thus, as Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 17 as well as Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, with the inner cover assembly 2 located inside the cup body 11, the first knife assembly 34 is located inside the inner cover 22. Figure 27As shown, when the support 21 is used alone and located within the cup body 11, the second blade assembly 37 is located within the cup body 11. In embodiments of this application, the second blade assembly 37 can be connected to the support 21 and the pivot 33, but is not used in conjunction with the inner cover 22 (used alone), for example, a blade assembly for breaking ice. Of course, in some cases, the second blade assembly 37 can also be used in conjunction with the inner cover 22. As described above, the support 21 can be used alone and in conjunction with the second blade assembly 37. In addition, with at least one first blade assembly 34 and at least two types of inner covers 22, the mixing cup assembly 10 can achieve more functions. These functions are not limited to those described above. For example, when the first blade assembly 34 is located within the inner cover 22, the ingredients can be mixed in a smaller space, resulting in better mixing, such as the ingredients being mixed more finely.

[0072] The specific structure of the detachable connection is not limited, as long as it satisfies the requirement that, in the connected state, the rotating shaft 33 drives the first blade assembly 34 to rotate relative to the bracket 21. The following describes an embodiment of a detachable connection:

[0073] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 The rotating shaft 33 is connected to a rotating shaft clutch 35. The cutter assembly includes a engaging clutch 36. The structures of the engaging clutch 36 and the rotating shaft clutch 35 are not limited, as long as they can engage and disengage, ultimately achieving transmission between the rotating shaft 33 and the first cutter assembly 34. Those skilled in the art will understand that each cutter assembly connected to the bracket 21 (such as the aforementioned first cutter assembly 34 and second cutter assembly 37) includes the engaging clutch 36, and correspondingly, the rotating shaft 33 is connected to a rotating shaft clutch 35, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 as well as Figure 27 As shown. Please refer to [the original text]. Figure 3 and combined Figure 2 , Figure 11 and combined Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 13 , Figure 15 and Figure 17 , Figures 19 to 23The blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37) and the bracket 21 are respectively provided with an insertion hole 2110 and a mating shaft 341. Figure 3 In the bracket 21, the bracket connecting part 211 includes a baffle plate 2111 and a plug 2113 disposed on the baffle plate 2111, wherein the plug 2113 is provided with the plug hole 2110. Figures 19 to 23 In the bracket connection, a post 2113 is included. The post 2113 has a insertion hole 2110. The engaging clutch 36 is connected to the rotating shaft clutch 35, and the engaging shaft 341 is inserted into the insertion hole 2110 to achieve a detachable connection. As described above, the engaging clutch 36 is connected to the rotating shaft clutch 35, and the engaging shaft 341 is inserted into the insertion hole 2110 to achieve the detachable connection. This simplifies the connection between the blade assembly, the rotating shaft 33, and the bracket 21, making disassembly convenient and cleaning easy.

[0074] In some implementations, please refer to Figures 24 to 26 The first blade assembly 34 and the bracket 21 can also be fixedly connected and cannot be detached from the bracket 21, for example, Figure 25 and Figure 26 In the middle, the first blade assembly 34 and the bracket 21 are fixedly connected by a snap ring 342, an oil seal 343, a ball bearing 344, and a seal 345.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the inner cover 22 and the first knife assembly 34 include at least one of the following:

[0076] (a) such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 11 to 17 as well as Figure 24 and Figure 26As shown, the inner cover 22 is a first type of inner cover 22 with a through-hole shape. The first type of inner cover 22 includes an inner cover cavity 221 and an inner cover sidewall 222 surrounding the inner cover cavity 221. The inner cover sidewall 222 is provided with filter holes 223. The filter holes 223 can also be selected in different sizes, such as 0.212mm (70 mesh), 0.25mm (60 mesh), 0.3mm (50 mesh), 0.355mm (45 mesh), 0.425mm (40 mesh), 0.5mm (35 mesh), 0.6mm (30 mesh), 0.71mm (25 mesh), 0.85mm (20 mesh), 1.0mm (18 mesh)...4.75mm (4 mesh). The filter holes 223 connect the inner cover cavity 221 with the interior of the cup body 11. The first type of inner cover 22 and the blade disc 31 form a food mixing cavity 30, and the first blade assembly 34 is located inside the food mixing cavity 30. This inner cover 22 can be used for making pulp, such as soy milk, etc. The soy milk can be filtered through the filter hole 223 to improve the taste (the small space mixing plus the filtering effect of the filter hole 223 improves the taste).

[0077] (b) The inner cover is a second type of inner cover that is through-hole shaped. The second type of inner cover 22 differs from the first type of inner cover 22 only in that it lacks filter holes 223 on its sidewall 222. More specifically, the second type of inner cover includes an inner cover cavity 221 and an inner cover sidewall 222 surrounding the inner cover cavity 221. The inner cover sidewall 222 separates the inner cover cavity 221 from the interior of the cup body 11. The second type of inner cover and the blade plate constitute a food mixing cavity 30. The first blade assembly 34 is located within the food mixing cavity 30. The second type of inner cover 22 has no holes in its inner side wall 222, which can realize functions such as mincing meat. Since this inner cover 22 is smaller than the cup body 11, it can make small amounts of food. As will be described later, when the mixing cup assembly 10 includes the second blade assembly, by replacing the second blade assembly with the first blade assembly, the second blade assembly can be used in conjunction with the cup body 11 to make large amounts of food. Thus, the food processor can meet the needs of different amounts of food.

[0078] (c) such as Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 The inner cover 22 is a dry grinding inner cover for realizing the dry grinding and pulverizing function. For example... Figures 19 to 23 As shown, the inner cover 22 includes an inner cover cavity 221, cavity sidewalls 222 surrounding the inner cover cavity 221, and a cavity bottom wall 224. Further, Figures 19 to 23 The inner cover 22 shown is... For shock absorption and noise reduction, the inner cover 22 also includes a shock-absorbing element 225. The first blade assembly 34 is a blade assembly that realizes the dry grinding and pulverizing function, such as... Figure 20As shown, the blade 340 of the first blade assembly 34 is attached to the bottom wall 224 of the cavity to achieve dry grinding. As described above, since the inner cover 22 and the first blade assembly 34 satisfy at least one of the above conditions, the stirring cup has multiple functions.

[0079] The mixing cup assembly of this application can also be used as a health pot without using any blade assembly (as mentioned above, the blade assembly can be removed). For example, the mixing cup assembly 10 can be used as a health pot without using the third blade assembly 38 and the inner cover assembly 2, etc. As a further improvement, this application also provides another mixing cup assembly, which allows the mixing cup assembly to also be used as a health pot, as detailed below:

[0080] Please see Figure 28 The mixing cup assembly includes a third blade assembly 38 for standalone use. The third blade assembly 38 is magnetically attached to the rotating shaft 33 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 33 within the cup body 11 or within the inner cover 22. Standalone use means that the third blade assembly 38 is not used in conjunction with any of the inner cover assembly 2, the first blade assembly 34, or the second blade assembly 37. As described above, the mixing cup assembly includes a standalone third blade assembly 38, which, through magnetic attachment to the rotating shaft 33, can rotate at low speed, enabling multiple functions such as blending and health-preserving (i.e., the health-preserving pot has a blending function), further expanding the functionality of the mixing cup assembly or food processor. Furthermore, the magnetic attachment simplifies the connection between the third blade assembly 38 and the rotating shaft 33, facilitating the connection between the rotating shaft 33 and the first blade assembly 34 and / or the second blade assembly 37. The low-speed rotation is determined by the magnetic force between the third blade assembly 38 and the rotating shaft 33; for example, the rotation speed is typically below 1000 rpm. In the above embodiments, there are multiple ways to achieve magnetic adsorption. For example, strong magnets can be set on the rotating shaft 33 and the third blade assembly 38 to achieve magnetic adsorption.

[0081] Those skilled in the art will understand that there are various ways to position the inner cover assembly 2 within the cup body 11 when using the inner cover assembly 2. The following describes an embodiment of the positioning of the inner cover assembly 2 according to this application:

[0082] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 and combined Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 19 to 23In one embodiment, the support 21 includes a support top 212. The support top 212 abuts against the cup body 11 to restrict circumferential rotation of the inner cover assembly 2 within the cup body 11, thereby achieving the removable position within the cup body 11. See also Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 3 and combined Figure 8 and Figure 11 The cup body assembly 1 includes a cup lid assembly 13, which has a cup lid abutment portion 131. The top of the bracket 212 abuts against the cup lid abutment portion 131 to restrict the axial movement of the inner cover assembly 2 within the cup body 11. As described above, both the circumferential and axial movements of the inner cover assembly 2 are restricted, thus ensuring the inner cover assembly 2 is stable within the cup body 11, preventing it from tipping over, and better securing the knife assembly, ensuring stable rotation of the knife assembly. The position of the bracket top 212 against the cup body 11 and the type of structure it abuts against are not limited, as long as the positioning of the inner cover assembly 2 is achieved.

[0083] When the mixing cup assembly includes an inner cover 22, the inner cover 22 abuts against the blade 31 and the support 21. For example, the bottom of each inner cover 22 abuts against the blade 31 and the top of the inner cover 22 abuts against the support 21. As described above, the inner cover 22 is also abutted against the blade 31 and the cup lid assembly 13. The inner cover 22 is stable, and the structure for fixing the inner cover 22 is simple, which can better ensure that the ingredients are mixed in a small space.

[0084] The way the support 21 rests against the cup body 11 is not limited; one implementation method is described below.

[0085] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The cup body 11 includes a side wall 110. The side wall 110 is provided with baffles 111, each baffle 111 being spaced apart and evenly distributed circumferentially around the cup body. Each baffle 111 has a cup-limiting portion 112 at its top. (See also...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 24 and Figure 26 The top 212 of the bracket has evenly distributed, spaced notches 2121 around its perimeter. For example... Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the cup body limiting part 112 is located within the notch 2121. With the above configuration, the cup body limiting part 112 is provided at the top of the deflector rib 111 and is located within the notch 2121. Furthermore, the deflector ribs 111 are evenly distributed around the cup body 11. This ensures that the support 21 or inner cover assembly 2 is subjected to uniform force, achieving a simple structure that prevents the support 21 or inner cover assembly 2 from rotating around the cup body 11. This provides good positioning and facilitates the installation of the inner cover assembly 2. Additionally, by limiting the position in the above manner, the requirements for the locking structure between the cup lid assembly 13 and the cup body 11 are reduced.

[0086] Please continue reading. Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The cup-body limiting part 112 and the top of the deflector rib 111 form a horizontally positioned abutment step 113. (See also...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 24 and Figure 26 Adjacent notches 2121 form an upper abutment portion 2122 on the support. The upper abutment portion 2122 is located on the abutment step 113. As described above, since the upper abutment portion 2122 is located on the abutment step 113, the support 21 or the inner cover assembly 2 will not move downward in the axial direction of the cup body 11. This arrangement, combined with the circumferential limiting of the support 21 or the inner cover assembly 2 in the cup body 11 and the upward axial movement of the cup lid assembly 13 in the cup body 11, limits both the vertical and circumferential directions, thereby better limiting the inner cover assembly 2 and improving stability.

[0087] Please see Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the abutment portion 2122 on the bracket abuts against the cup body sidewall 110 in addition to abutting against the abutment step 113. As described above, the abutment portion 2122 on the bracket abuts against the cup body sidewall 110 and is axially and circumferentially limited in conjunction with the inner cover assembly 2, further improving the stability of the inner cover assembly 2. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the abutment portion 2122 on the bracket is located on the abutment step 113, and the abutment portion 2122 on the bracket abuts against the cup body sidewall 110. In some embodiments, the abutment portion 2122 on the bracket may not abut against the cup body sidewall 110.

[0088] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 , Figures 15 to 18A second embodiment of limiting the inner cover assembly 2 is disclosed. More specifically, the cup body assembly 1 includes a cup lid assembly 13, which includes a cup lid abutment portion 131. The cup lid abutment portion 131 includes a horizontally arranged first abutment surface 1311 and a vertically arranged second abutment surface 1312. The bracket 21 includes a bracket top 212. The bracket top 212 includes a first mating surface 2123 that fits against the first abutment surface 1311 and a second mating surface 2124 that fits against the second abutment surface 1312. With this configuration, the bracket top 212 abuts against the cup lid abutment portion 131, and the bracket connecting portion 211 of the bracket 21 is connected to the knife assembly. The knife assembly is connected to the rotating shaft 33 via a clutch. Thus, it is particularly limited axially upward, and the horizontal tilting is also limited by the cooperation of the second abutment surface 1312 and the second mating surface 2124. Therefore, the bracket 21 can be stably positioned within the cup body 11, thereby ensuring stable rotation of the knife assembly. However, this implementation relies solely on the cup lid assembly 13 to press the inner cover assembly 2 between the cup lid assembly 13 and the cutter disc 31, and... Figures 11 to 14 Compared to the embodiment shown, the locking structure between the cup lid assembly 13 and the cup body 11 has higher requirements because the locking structure has a poor locking effect and cannot effectively limit the inner cover assembly 2.

[0089] Those skilled in the art will understand that in this embodiment where the support 21 is detachably assembled, if the mixing cup assembly includes an inner cover 22, the inner cover 22 is still abutted between the blade 31 and the support 21. The inner cover 22 and the blade assembly are stable, the structure for fixing the inner cover is simple, and it can better ensure that the ingredients are mixed in a small space.

[0090] Technicians can understand that when the support 21 and the inner cover 22 are assembled, the support 21 can also be located outside the inner cover 22, which can also achieve the aforementioned purpose. In comparison, it is more advantageous for the support 211 to be located at the top of the food mixing space than for the support 21 to be located outside the inner cover 22, so as to facilitate the mixing of larger pieces of food, such as blocky food.

[0091] Please see Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the top of the support 212 contacts the top of the inner cover. As described above, the top of the support 212 contacts the top of the inner cover, and the cup lid assembly 13 abuts against the top of the support 212 and the bottom of the inner cover abuts against the blade 31. Thus, the inner cover assembly 2 can be more stably positioned inside the cup body 11.

[0092] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 20 The support 21 includes a support connecting portion 211 connected to the knife assembly, a support top 212, and a connector 213 connecting the support top 212 and the support connecting portion 211. Multiple connectors 213 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the cup body 11. Each connector 213 includes a bent portion 2131 that converges at the support connecting portion 211, which is located on the axis of the cup body 11. In an embodiment of this application, the connector 213 includes a first connecting segment 2132 extending from the bent portion 2131 towards the cup body, and all first connecting segments 2132 converge at the support connecting portion 211. The support connecting portion 211 is located on the axis of the cup body 11. As described above, since there are multiple connectors 213, which are evenly spaced and converge at the bracket connection 211, and the bracket connection 211 is located on the axis of the cup body 11, the bracket 21 can better provide support after it is assembled (for example, a steaming rack is used to place a food steamer on the bracket 21). This ensures that the blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37) is located on the axis, thus preventing the blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37) from deviating from the axis during operation. For example, the blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37) will not fall off or cause noise due to deviation from the axis.

[0093] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and combined Figure 20 The bracket 21 includes a bracket connecting portion 211 connected to the blade assembly, a bracket top 212, and a connector 213 connecting the bracket top 212 and the bracket connecting portion 211; the connector 213 is bent and includes a bent portion 2131. The bent portion 2131 is not limited to the structure shown in the figure. The inner cover 22 includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and the upper cavity is enlarged relative to the lower cavity to form an inner cover abutment at the intersection of the upper and lower cavities, where the bent portion 2131 abuts against the inner cover abutment 2213. This application provides two abutment methods: when the bracket 21 is located inside the inner cover 22, the bent portion 2131 abuts against the inner cover abutment 2213, such as... Figures 29 to 31In this embodiment, with the support 21 located outside the inner cover 22, the inner cover abutting portion 2213 abuts against the bent portion 2131. As described above, during the stirring process, the liquid medium (such as water) will rise due to the eddy current generated by stirring. Since the upper cavity of the inner cover is larger than the lower cavity of the inner cover, water enters from the smaller space to the larger space, and the height will obviously decrease. Therefore, the above design helps to slow down the rise of the water level during the operation of the food processor, prevent water from overflowing, ensure the stability of the support 21, and thus stabilize the blade assembly, making the food processor work more stably and less prone to shaking, etc. Moreover, since the connecting piece 213 is bent and the inner cover sidewall 222 abuts against it, the upward movement of the inner cover 22 in the axial direction of the cup body 11 can be restricted, and it plays a better supporting role, so that the inner cover 22 is located in the axial direction of the cup body 11, improving the stability of the inner cover 22, and facilitating the addition of ingredients and the blending of food, etc.

[0094] Based on the aforementioned expansion of the upper cavity of the inner cover relative to the lower cavity of the inner cover, and the abutting effect of the inner cover abutting portion and the bending portion, those skilled in the art can understand that the lower cavity of the inner cover can also be shaped like a frustum, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Correspondingly, the connecting rods can be distributed on the surface of the frustum. In the embodiment of this application, the inner cover abutting portion 2213 of the inner cover sidewall 222 is a step, so that the inner cover 22 forms an upper cavity and a lower cavity. Correspondingly, the bending portion 2131 is also a step. As described above, when both the inner cover abutting portion 2213 and the bending portion 2131 are steps, not only is it easy to achieve abutment between the inner cover and the support, but also, when the support is used alone (e.g., as a steaming rack), the steps make it easier to support bowls, etc.

[0095] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 20 It should be noted that the structure of the bracket 21 used in the other attached figures is different from that of the bracket 21. Figure 5 or Figure 20 The structure of the support used in the two is the same, therefore, only the support structure is used in the two cases. Figure 5 and Figure 20For illustration, each connector 213 includes a first connecting segment 2132 connected to the bracket connecting portion 211 and a second connecting segment 2133 connected to the first connecting segment 2132. The first connecting segment 2132 is bent relative to the second connecting segment 2133 to form the bent portion 2131, and the second connecting segment 2133 is positioned along the axial direction of the cup body 11. When the bracket 21 is used in conjunction with the inner cover 22, the second connecting segment 2133 contacts the side wall of the upper cavity of the inner cover and is positioned along the axial direction of the cup body 11. As described above, since the second connecting segment 2133 is positioned along the axial direction of the cup body 11 and has the bent portion 2131, the bracket 21 can better provide support and is also convenient for placing utensils for steaming food (such as steaming bowls). For example, the steaming bowl can be supported by the bent portion 2131. When the mixing cup assembly has an inner cover 22, the second connecting segment is positioned along the axial direction of the cup body 11 and contacts the side wall of the upper cavity of the inner cover, and the bent portion can abut against the inner cover (such as against the inner cover abutting portion 2213). In this way, it can better support the inner cover 22.

[0096] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 21The second connecting segment 2133 has a vertical height of H1, 0≤H1≤200mm, for example, 0mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, 180mm, 190mm, or 200mm, etc.; and / or, the first connecting segment 2132 extends from the bending portion 2 131 extends laterally and then vertically downwards, such that the vertical distance H2 between the bent portion 2131 and the end of the bracket connecting portion 211 is 5mm≤H2≤100mm, for example, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, etc. With the above configuration, since 0≤H1≤200mm, the bracket 21 has good stability, for example, it can better fix the blade assembly (first blade assembly 34 or second blade assembly 37). When the bracket 21 and the inner cover 22 form the inner cover assembly 2, the inner cover assembly 2 is further stabilized. Because H1 is too long, the lever arm is lengthened, and an excessively long lever arm leads to increased torque, causing the bracket 21 to be unstable. Since 5mm ≤ H2 ≤ 100mm, the support 21 has good stability and low structural strength requirements. Consequently, the blade assembly is stable (no eccentricity during rotation), and the inner cover assembly 2 is stable when the stirring cup assembly includes the inner cover 22. Because the blade assembly generates a lateral force F perpendicular to the central axis during operation, when the lever arm (i.e., length H2) of point B relative to point A is long, the torque M = H2 × F generated at point B relative to point A is large, which can easily affect the stability of the support 21. Therefore, considering the strength of the support material and the working strength of the support 21, the value of H2 can be within the range of 5mm ≤ H1 ≤ 100mm for better stability. When H2 = 0, the support rod is L-shaped and connected to the bushing.

[0097] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 14The inner cover 22 and the blade disc 31 form a food mixing cavity 30, or the inner cover 22 includes the food mixing cavity 30. For example, the inner cover 22, which performs the pulping function, and the blade disc 31 form the food mixing cavity 30, while the bottom of the inner cover 22, which performs the dry grinding function, is the food mixing cavity 30. The support connecting part 211 includes a baffle plate 2111. The baffle plate 2111 is located at the top of the food mixing cavity 30 and forms a food inlet between itself and the side wall 222 of the inner cover. The food fed into the inner cover 22 enters the food mixing cavity 30 through the food inlet. As described above, the baffle plate 2111 is located at the top of the food mixing cavity 30. During the mixing process, it can restrict the food inside the food mixing cavity 30, thereby improving the mixing effect and increasing the mixing efficiency. Of course, when the support 21 is located inside the inner cover 22, the support connecting part 211 can also be as described above. Figure 19 and Figure 20 That does not include the partition 2111.

[0098] Please see Figure 29 , Figure 30 and Figure 31 This application provides a second type of bracket 21, which, when assembled with the inner cover 22, is located outside the inner cover 22. More specifically, the bracket 21 includes a bracket top 212, a bracket lower abutment portion 2134, and a bracket connecting portion 211 connected to the blade assembly. The bracket connecting portion 211 is higher than the bracket lower abutment portion 2134. That is, the first connecting segment 2132 is bent to form the bracket lower abutment portion 2134.

[0099] Please see Figure 30 and Figure 31 The mixing cup assembly includes a cup lid assembly 13, with the lower abutment portion 2134 abutting against the blade disc 31 and the top of the support 212 abutting against the cup lid assembly 13. Thus, the support 21 is assembled within the cup body 11. In other embodiments, the top of the support may abut against the cup body 11; the method of abutting against the cup body 11 is not limited. For example, the method of abutting against the cup body 11 can be found in the previous description of the cooperation between the top of the support and the baffle rib. Further details will not be repeated. As described above, the support 21 is pressed firmly between the blade disc 31 and the cup lid assembly 13 or between the blade disc 31 and the cup body 11 by the lower abutment portion 2134 and the top of the support 212. The support 21 is not easily loosened, thus better securing the blade assembly and ensuring stable rotation of the blade assembly.

[0100] In this embodiment, the mixing cup assembly may also include an inner cover 22 detachably assembled with the support 21. The inner cover 22 is located inside the support 21 and abuts against the lower abutment portion 2134 of the support and the cup lid assembly 13. As described above, the inner cover 22 is also abutted between the lower abutment portion 2134 of the support 21 and the cup lid assembly 13. The inner cover is stable, the structure for fixing the inner cover is simple, and it can better ensure that the food is mixed in a small space.

[0101] In summary, the structure of the second type of support 21 differs from that of the first type of support 21. More specifically, the structure of the second connecting segment 2133 is different. Therefore, other structures of the second type of support 21, or other structures of the support 21 assembled with the inner cover 22, are the same as the corresponding structures of the first type of support 21 and the structures assembled with the inner cover 22. For example, they include the bent portion 2131, etc. How the top 212 of the support abuts against the cup lid assembly 13 or how the top 212 of the support abuts against the cup body 11 can be referred to the foregoing and will not be repeated here. Compared with the first type of support 21, the second type of support 21, because the first connecting segment 2132 of the support 21 is bent, includes a first segment 21321 located outside the inner cover 22 and a second segment 21322 located inside the inner cover 22. Due to the limitation of the second segment 21322, the first type of support 21 is more conducive to stirring large pieces of food. For example, the second segment 21322 will make the stirring cavity of food relatively smaller, which is not conducive to stirring large pieces of food.

[0102] On the other hand, please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application also discloses a food processor. The food processor includes any of the aforementioned blending cup assembly 10 and a main unit 20. The cup body assembly 1 of the blending cup assembly 10 includes a motor 14. The blending cup assembly 10 is assembled to the main unit 20. The first blade assembly is connected to the motor 14 via a clutch. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the motor 14 may be located on the main unit 20; in this case, the motor 14 still drives the first blade assembly to rotate. With the above configuration, the food processor at least has the beneficial effects of the blending cup assembly, which will not be elaborated further.

[0103] In some embodiments, the food processor further includes a second blade assembly, which is interchangeably assembled with the first blade assembly to the blade plate. As described above, by replacing the first and second blade assemblies, the functionality of the blending cup assembly can be further expanded.

[0104] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
