[0002] In the existing food processors, after the beverage is made, usually the user needs to manually filter the beverage, and manually filter the beverage a second time through an external filter net. This traditional manual filtering method cannot achieve automatic filtering by the machine, increasing the user's operation steps and having a low filtering efficiency, thus reducing the production efficiency of the beverage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] To this end, in the first aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed.

[0005] In the second aspect of the present invention, a control method of a food processor is proposed.

[0006] In the third aspect of the present invention, a control device of a food processor is proposed.

[0007] In the fourth aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed.

[0008] In the fifth aspect of the present invention, a readable storage medium is proposed.

[0009] In view of this, in the first aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed. The food processor includes: a body, the body includes a base; a crushing device, disposed in the body, the crushing device has a crushing chamber, and the crushing device includes a first liquid discharge port communicated with the crushing chamber; a filtering device, movably disposed in the body, the filtering device has a first liquid inlet and a second liquid discharge port; the second liquid discharge port is communicated with the outside and there is a liquid receiving space below the second liquid discharge port.

[0010] The food processor proposed by the present invention includes a body, a crushing device and a filtering device. Among them, the crushing device is disposed in the body and is used for crushing food materials to make them into tiny granular solids. The crushing device has a crushing chamber. After the food materials are put into the crushing chamber, the crushing device processes the food materials in the crushing chamber to crush them. The crushing device is provided with a first liquid discharge port for discharging the crushed food materials.

[0011] Furthermore, a filtering device is provided in the machine body, and is used to filter the solid-liquid mixture in the crushing chamber. The filtering device is provided with a first liquid inlet and a second liquid discharge port, and the crushed food enters the filtering device through the first liquid inlet, and after the filtering device filters the food, the filtered food is discharged from the second liquid discharge port.

[0012] Furthermore, the filter device can be movably arranged on the machine body, so that when the filter device needs to be cleaned, the filter device can be moved away from the machine body to facilitate cleaning of the filter device. In the working state of the filter device, the filter device is close to the base body, so that the machine body plays a certain protective and stabilizing role on the filter device to ensure the normal operation of the filter device.

[0013] Furthermore, the first liquid inlet is used to receive the liquid flowing out of the first liquid discharge port, and there can be multiple positional relationships between the first liquid inlet and the first liquid discharge port. Specifically, the first liquid inlet can be located on the discharge path of the first liquid discharge port, and after the liquid is discharged from the first liquid discharge port, it flows to the first liquid inlet through the discharge path, and the first liquid inlet receives the liquid discharged from the first liquid discharge port.

[0014] The positional relationship between the first liquid inlet and the first liquid discharge port can also be: the projection of the first liquid discharge port on the horizontal plane is located within the projection range of the first liquid inlet on the horizontal plane, that is, after the liquid is discharged from the first liquid discharge port, it can naturally fall into the opening range of the first liquid inlet, thereby realizing the first liquid discharge port to receive the liquid.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is provided with a base, and the base is located at the bottom of the base. The second drain port is connected to the outside, and there is a preset distance between the second drain port and the base. Specifically, the filtered liquid is discharged to the outside space through the second drain port. There is a certain distance between the second drain port and the base, so that a container can be placed between the second drain port and the base to receive the liquid discharged from the second drain port.

[0016] By arranging a crushing device and a filtering device in a food processor, a one-stop processing of crushing and filtering of food materials is achieved, and a liquid free of impurities or with extremely low impurity content can be obtained without filtering the processed liquid containing impurities separately again. The operation is simple, the use is convenient, and the user experience is improved. By movably arranging the filtering device on the base, the filtering device is away from the first body of the food processor when not working, which is convenient for the user to clean the filtering device, thereby improving the user experience. By arranging a liquid receiving space between the bottom of the second liquid discharge port and the base, a container can be placed between the second liquid discharge port and the base to receive the liquid discharged from the second liquid discharge port, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.

[0017] In addition, the filter assembly in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the food processor also includes: a slurry receiving cup, which can receive the liquid flowing out of the second liquid discharge port, and the slurry receiving cup can be taken and placed in the liquid receiving space.

[0019] In this technical solution, a slurry receiving cup is provided in the food processing device, which is located below the second liquid discharge port and is used to receive the filtered liquid discharged from the second liquid discharge port. The slurry receiving cup is detachable from the main body and can be taken out and placed in the liquid receiving space.

[0020] By arranging a pulp receiving cup in the food processor, the pulp receiving cup can be used to hold the filtered liquid, and because the pulp receiving cup can be removably placed in the accommodating space, the user can freely take the pulp receiving cup according to needs, which is convenient to use.

[0021] In the above technical solution, further, the pulverizing device includes: a pulverizing cup, which includes a pulverizing chamber and a first liquid discharge port; a valve assembly, which is arranged on the pulverizing cup, and the valve assembly can block or conduct the flow path between the pulverizing chamber and the first liquid discharge port.

[0022] In this technical solution, the pulverizing device includes a pulverizing cup, a pulverizing chamber is arranged in the pulverizing cup, and the pulverizing cup is used to contain the food to be processed. The pulverizing cup is also provided with a first liquid discharge port, and the solid-liquid mixture processed in the pulverizing chamber flows out of the pulverizing chamber through the first liquid discharge port and flows into the filtering device through the first liquid inlet.

[0023] Furthermore, the pulverizing device is provided with a valve assembly, which can be arranged on the pulverizing cup, and is used to connect or block the first liquid discharge port and the first liquid inlet. Specifically, when the food processor processes the food in the pulverizing cup, the valve assembly blocks the first liquid discharge port and the first liquid inlet to prevent the unprocessed food from flowing out of the pulverizing cup. After the food in the pulverizing cup is pulverized and the liquid is mixed, the valve assembly connects the first liquid discharge port and the first liquid inlet, so that the processed food flows from the pulverizing cup through the first liquid inlet into the filtering device for filtration.

[0024] By arranging a valve assembly in the crushing device to connect or block the first liquid discharge port and the first liquid inlet, it is possible to control whether the food flows out of the crushing chamber at different food processing stages, prevent unprocessed food from flowing out, and allow the processed food to automatically flow into the filtering device without manual operation, thereby improving ease of use.

[0025] In the above technical solution, further, a containing space is provided on the machine body, and the filter device is detachably provided in the containing groove or the filter device is movably provided in the containing space.

[0026] In this technical solution, the filtering device can be located at a first position where the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are communicated. At this time, the filtering device can be in a working state. To ensure the stability of the filtering device in the working state, a receiving groove or a receiving space is provided on the body. When the filtering device is located at the first position, the filtering device is in the receiving groove or the receiving space, so that the filtering device can be kept stable in the working state to ensure the normal operation of the filtering device.

[0027] Specifically, a receiving groove is provided on the body, and the filtering device is in a separable state from the body. When the filtering device is located at the first position, the filtering device is located in the receiving groove. When the filtering device is located at the second position, the filtering device is separated from the body, so that the filtering device can be taken out from the receiving groove.

[0028] In another technical solution, a receiving space is provided on the body, the filtering device is connected to the body, and the filtering device can move relative to the body. When the filtering device is in the first position, the filtering device is close to the body and located in the receiving space. When the filtering device is in the second position, the filtering device is away from the receiving space on the body.

[0029] By providing a receiving space on the body, the filtering device is arranged in the receiving space in the working state, which plays a certain protective role for the filtering device, keeps the filtering device stable in the working state, and ensures that the filtering device can work normally. When the filtering device is in the second position, the filtering device is separated from the receiving space, which is convenient for the user to clean the filtering device and improves the use convenience.

[0030] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering device includes: a first housing including a first through hole communicating with the outside; a filtering component, the filtering component is detachably arranged in the first housing and can rotate relative to the first housing, and a second liquid outlet communicates with the outside through the first through hole.

[0031] In this technical solution, the filtering device includes a first housing and a filtering component. A cavity is provided in the main body, and the filtering component is detachably arranged in the cavity of the main body.

[0032] The filtering device is further provided with a first through hole, and the first through hole is provided in the first housing. Specifically, the first through hole communicates with the cavity of the first housing. Among them, the filtering component is further provided with a first liquid outlet for discharging the liquid filtered by the filtering component. When the filtering component is placed in the cavity of the first housing, the first liquid outlet of the filtering component communicates with the first through hole, and then the first liquid outlet communicates with the outside through the first through hole, so as to discharge the filtered liquid from the filtering device.

[0033] Further, the filtering device can rotate relative to the first housing. Understandably, in a static state, the liquid in the filtering assembly is discharged from the filter element by its own hydraulic pressure to achieve the separation of the liquid and impurities. However, simply through the hydraulic action, on the one hand, the liquid discharge speed is relatively slow, and on the other hand, when the remaining liquid is less, the hydraulic pressure is small, and it is difficult to discharge the liquid, resulting in some liquid being unable to be discharged. When the filtering assembly rotates relative to the first housing, the filtering assembly generates a centrifugal force. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filtering assembly is quickly thrown out of the filter element, thereby accelerating the discharge of the filtering assembly and speeding up the separation speed of the liquid and impurities, and reducing the residual amount of liquid in the filter element.

[0034] The filtering device further includes a support bottom cover. The bottom of the first housing is provided with a first opening. The support bottom cover is connected to the first housing at the first opening for covering the first opening. The support bottom cover is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. The filtering device includes a plurality of first connectors for connecting the support bottom cover to the first housing. The first connector can be a screw.

[0035] The filtering process of the filtering device is as follows: After the liquid containing impurities flows into the filtering device, the filtering assembly rotates relative to the first housing. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filtering assembly is quickly separated from the impurities, and the filtered liquid is discharged from the filtering device through the first through hole in the filtering device.

[0036] By making the filtering assembly rotate relative to the first housing, the rapidly rotating filtering assembly generates a centrifugal force, which on the one hand speeds up the filtering speed of the liquid, and on the other hand causes the liquid to be discharged from the filter element under the action of the centrifugal force, reducing the residual amount of liquid in the filter element, improving the working efficiency of the filtering device, and improving the filtering effect.

[0037] In the above technical solution, further, the food processor further includes: a driving assembly capable of driving the filtering assembly to rotate relative to the first housing.

[0038] In this technical solution, a driving assembly is further provided in the filtering device. The driving assembly is provided in the first housing. The driving assembly is connected to the filtering assembly to drive the filtering assembly to rotate relative to the first housing. Specifically, the filtering assembly is placed in the cavity of the first housing, and the filtering assembly and the first housing can rotate relative to each other. Under the action of the driving assembly, the filtering assembly rotates relative to the first housing with its own center as the rotation axis.

[0039] By providing a driving assembly in the food processor to drive the filtering assembly to rotate relative to the first housing, the filtering assembly generates a centrifugal force during rotation, which on the one hand speeds up the filtering speed of the liquid, and on the other hand causes the liquid to be discharged from the filter element under the action of the centrifugal force, reducing the residual amount of liquid in the filter element, improving the working efficiency of the filtering device, and improving the filtering effect.

[0040] In the above technical solution, further, the rotational speed at which the driving component drives the filtering component to rotate is greater than or equal to 50 rpm and less than or equal to 5000 rpm.

[0041] In this technical solution, the driving motor drives the filtering component to rotate at a certain rotational speed. It can be understood that certain noise will be generated during the rotation of the filtering component, and the faster the rotational speed, the greater the noise. Moreover, the centrifugal force of the filtering component is also related to the rotational speed, and the faster the rotational speed, the greater the centrifugal force and the higher the filtering effect. To balance the relationship between the filtering effect and the noise of the filtering component, the rotational speed of the filtering component is thus limited within the range of 50 rpm to 5000 rpm.

[0042] By limiting the rotational speed of the filtering component within the range of 50 rpm to 5000 rpm, it can not only ensure that the filtering component rotates at a certain rotational speed, so as to ensure that the centrifugal force of the filtering component meets the filtering requirements, but also ensure that the noise of the filtering device is within a reasonable range and will not affect the user.

[0043] In the above technical solution, further, the driving component includes: a driving motor disposed in the first housing; a first transmission member connected to the output shaft of the driving motor; the filtering device further includes: a second transmission member disposed on the filtering component, the second transmission member is adapted to the first transmission member, and the first transmission member drives the second transmission member to rotate under the drive of the driving motor, so that the filtering component rotates relative to the first housing.

[0044] In this technical solution, the driving component includes a driving motor and a first transmission member. A second transmission member is provided on the filtering component, and the second transmission member is adapted to the first transmission member. The driving component drives the first transmission member to rotate, and the first transmission member cooperates with the second transmission member, and then drives the second transmission member to rotate through the first transmission member, so as to realize the driving of the filtering component by the driving component, and the filtering component rotates relative to the first housing.

[0045] Specifically, the driving motor is disposed in the first housing, an output shaft is provided at the output end of the driving motor, and a limiting platform is provided on the side of the output shaft close to the driving motor. The driving component further includes a snap ring, and the snap ring is disposed on the side of the limiting platform away from the driving motor. The first transmission member is disposed on the output shaft, one end abuts against the limiting platform, and the other end is limited by the snap ring to prevent the first transmission member from falling off the output shaft, thereby realizing the connection between the first transmission member and the driving motor.

[0046] The second transmission member is disposed on the filtering component, and the filtering component is disposed in the cavity of the first housing, that is, the second transmission member is located in the cavity of the first housing. In order to make the first transmission member cooperate with the second transmission member, at least part of the first transmission member is thus extended into the cavity where the filtering component is located, so that the first transmission member can contact and cooperate with the second transmission member.

[0047] The driving process of the driving component on the filtering component is as follows: The driving motor operates and drives the output shaft to rotate. The first transmission member is connected to the output shaft. The driving motor transmits the driving torque to the first transmission member through the output shaft. The first transmission member is adapted to the second transmission member, and then transmits the driving torque to the second transmission member. The second transmission member rotates accordingly, and then drives the filtering component to rotate, realizing the driving of the filtering component by the driving component.

[0048] Furthermore, the driving motor can be set to different speeds. It can be understood that different solid-liquid mixtures have different filtration difficulties and require different centrifugal force magnitudes. Therefore, corresponding to different liquids to be filtered, the driving motor can be set to different speeds to improve the filtration effect.

[0049] By setting the first transmission member in the driving component and making the first transmission member cooperate with the second transmission member of the filtering component, the driving effect of the driving component on the filtering component is realized. This driving method is simple and reliable, occupies a small space, and has high working efficiency.

[0050] In the above technical solution, further, the first housing includes: a first cavity for accommodating the filtering component, and a first through hole communicating with the first cavity.

[0051] In this technical solution, the first housing includes a first cavity, and the filtering component is arranged in the first cavity. Among them, the first through hole is connected to the first cavity. When the filtering component is placed in the first cavity, the liquid discharge port of the filtering component is arranged opposite to the first through hole, so that the liquid discharge port of the filtering component is connected to the external space of the filtering device, and the filtered liquid is discharged from the filtering device.

[0052] By arranging the first cavity in the first housing, the filtering component can be accommodated in the first cavity. When the filtering component is in a rotating state, the wall of the first cavity plays a certain protective role for the filtering component. By making the first through hole communicate with the first cavity, the liquid discharge port of the filtering component can communicate with the first through hole through the first cavity, and then the liquid discharge port of the filtering component is connected to the external space of the filtering device through the first through hole.

[0053] In the above technical solution, further, the first housing further includes: a second cavity, the driving motor is arranged in the second cavity, the output shaft extends out of the second cavity, and the first transmission member is located outside the second cavity; an avoidance notch, corresponding to the first transmission member, communicating with the first cavity, and at least part of the first transmission member extends into the first cavity through the avoidance notch.

[0054] In this technical solution, the first housing includes a second cavity, and the driving motor is disposed in the second cavity. An opening is provided at the bottom of the second cavity. The first housing includes a motor cavity bottom cover, which is connected to the first housing at the opening at the bottom of the second cavity for covering the second cavity. The first housing is further provided with a plurality of second connectors for connecting the first housing and the motor cavity bottom cover. The second connectors can be screws.

[0055] Specifically, the motor cavity bottom cover is provided with a third through hole, and the output shaft of the motor extends out of the second cavity through the third through hole and is connected to the first transmission member. The first transmission member is disposed outside the second cavity. Specifically, the first transmission member is disposed between the bracket bottom cover and the bottom wall of the second cavity.

[0056] The first housing is further provided with an avoidance notch, which is communicated with the second cavity. The first transmission member extends into the second cavity through the avoidance notch and cooperates with the second transmission member.

[0057] The first housing further includes a second cover body, which is disposed at the open end of the second cavity away from the driving motor for closing the opening of the second cavity. Specifically, a positioning boss is provided in the second cavity, and one end of the second cover body abuts against the positioning boss to limit the second cover body. A positioning protrusion is provided on the side wall of the second cover body, and a positioning groove cooperating with the positioning protrusion is further provided on the inner wall of the second cavity. When the second cover body is placed in the second cavity, the positioning protrusion on the second cover body is inserted into the positioning groove of the second cavity to prevent the second cover body from rotating and limit the second cover body.

[0058] By providing the second cavity in the first housing and disposing the driving motor in the second cavity, a certain protective effect is achieved on the driving motor, reducing the influence of the external environment on the motor. And by providing the second cover body to close the opening of the second cavity, it is prevented that external impurities enter the second cavity and damage the driving motor, improving the protective effect on the driving motor.

[0059] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering device further includes: a rolling member rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly, and the rolling member is located between the filtering assembly and the first housing.

[0060] In this technical solution, the filtering device includes a rolling member rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly and located between the filtering assembly and the first housing. Specifically, the rolling member is disposed on the bottom wall of the filtering assembly, and the filtering assembly abuts against the first housing through the rolling member. The rolling member is rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly. When the filtering assembly rotates under the drive of the driving motor, the filtering assembly rolls along the first housing under the support of the rolling member, reducing the friction between the filtering assembly and the first housing.

[0061] By arranging rolling elements between the filtering component and the first housing, on the one hand, it plays a supporting role for the filtering component. On the other hand, when the filtering component is in a rotating state, since the rolling friction between the rolling elements and the first housing is extremely small, the force on the filtering component is reduced, the frictional loss is decreased, and the working efficiency of the filtering device is improved. And because the friction between the filtering component and the first housing is reduced, the noise generated during the rotation of the filtering component is also reduced, playing a noise reduction role.

[0062] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering component includes: a second housing, the second housing includes a third cavity, and the second housing includes a second liquid discharge port; a filtering element disposed in the third cavity, the filtering element is configured as a cavity structure with an opening, and a plurality of filtering holes are provided on the filtering element; a connecting component capable of detachably connecting the filtering element and the second housing; wherein, a liquid discharge channel is formed between the filtering element and the second housing, and the liquid discharge channel communicates with the second liquid discharge port.

[0063] In this technical solution, the filtering component includes a second housing, and a third cavity and a second liquid discharge port are further provided in the second housing. Among them, the second liquid discharge port communicates with the third cavity and is provided on the bottom wall of the second housing, that is, the liquid in the third cavity can flow out of the second housing through the second liquid discharge port.

[0064] Further, the filtering component further includes a filtering element, the filtering element is a cavity structure with an opening, that is, the filtering element includes a plurality of wall surfaces, and the plurality of wall surfaces enclose a receiving cavity, and an opening is provided on one side of the filtering element, and the opening communicates with the receiving cavity. A plurality of filtering holes are also provided on the filtering element. Specifically, the filtering holes are provided on the wall surface of the filtering element. It can be understood that when the liquid mixed with impurities flows into the filtering element, the liquid can flow out of the filtering element through the filtering holes on the wall surface, while the impurities are blocked by the filtering holes and remain in the receiving cavity of the filtering element, thus playing a filtering role. The filtering effect of the filtering element is related to the density of the filtering holes. The higher the density of the filtering holes, the higher the filtering effect, but too high a density of filtering holes will cause difficulty in liquid discharge. To balance the filtering effect and the liquid discharge speed of the filtering element, the density of the filtering holes can be set in the range of 50 mesh to 120 mesh, preferably 80 mesh. The filtering element is disposed in the third cavity, and the liquid filtered by the filtering element flows into the third cavity and is discharged from the third cavity through the second liquid discharge port.

[0065] Further, a connecting component is also provided in the filtering component for connecting the filtering element and the second housing. Specifically, the filtering element can be detachably connected to the second housing through the connecting component. Among them, the connecting component can be a separate component independent of the filtering element and the second housing, or a component provided on the filtering element and / or the second housing.

[0066] Specifically, the connecting component can be a threaded connection structure, that is, a threaded connection structure is provided on the side walls of the second housing and the filter element as the connecting component, and the second housing and the filter element are connected or separated by screwing the threads. The connecting component can also be a snap connection structure. That is, a clamping groove is provided on one of the second housing and the filter element, and a snap projection is provided on the other. The snap projection can be snapped into the clamping groove to connect the second housing and the filter element, and the snap projection can also slide out of the clamping groove to separate the two. The connecting component can also be a separate component independent of the second housing and the filter element. By connecting or separating the connecting component to and from the second housing and the filter element respectively, the connection or separation of the second housing and the filter element is achieved. Further, a gap is left between the filter element located in the third cavity and the second housing, so that a liquid drainage channel is formed between the filter element and the second housing. The liquid drainage channel is located in the third cavity and communicates with the second liquid drainage port. The filtered liquid flows into the liquid drainage channel through the filter holes, and then is discharged from the second liquid drainage port, thus realizing the functions of filtering and draining the liquid.

[0067] The filtering process of the filtering component is as follows: The liquid containing impurities flows into the accommodating cavity of the filter element. The filter holes on the filter element block the impurities in the liquid inside the filter element, while the liquid is discharged from the filter element through the filter holes. The filtered liquid flows into the liquid drainage channel and then is discharged from the second liquid drainage port of the filtering component, and the filtering component completes the filtering of the liquid. When the filtering component is arranged in the filtering device, the filtering component can rotate under the drive of the driving component. The rotating filtering component generates a centrifugal force. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filter element is quickly discharged from the filter holes to the liquid drainage channel, accelerating the filtering process and improving the filtering effect.

[0068] By arranging a connecting component in the filtering component, the second housing and the filter element are detachably connected through the connecting component, making the second housing and the filter element form a whole, which is convenient for taking, placing and cleaning the whole filtering component, and improves the convenience of use. By arranging a filter element in the filtering component, the impurities in the liquid can be separated from the liquid, thus realizing the filtering function of the liquid. And by setting the filter element as a cavity structure with an opening, the liquid can flow into the filter element through the opening on the filter element, thereby realizing the filtering of the liquid. By forming a liquid drainage channel between the filter element and the second housing, it plays a guiding role in the liquid flowing out of the filter element, guides the flow direction of the liquid, concentrates at the second liquid drainage port and is discharged, which is convenient for collecting the liquid and improves the convenience of use of the filtering component.

[0069] In the above technical solution, further, the connecting component includes: a face cover located at the opening of the filter element, and a first liquid inlet communicating with the filtering cavity of the filter element is provided on the face cover; a first mounting side cover, and the first mounting side cover can be connected to the second housing and the filter element; wherein, the face cover is arranged on the filter element or the face cover is arranged on the first mounting side cover.

[0070] In this technical solution, the connection component includes a face cover, which is arranged at the opening of the filter element. A first liquid inlet communicating with the filter cavity of the filter element is further provided on the face cover. The first liquid inlet is connected to the accommodation cavity of the filter element. The liquid outside the filter assembly can flow into the filter element through the first liquid inlet to achieve the filtration of the liquid.

[0071] It can be understood that when the filter assembly is filtering, the liquid flows into the drainage channel between the filter element and the second housing. If the space between the filter element and the second housing is open on the side close to the opening of the filter element, the liquid in the drainage channel is likely to splash out of the filter assembly. Therefore, a face cover is provided in the connection component and arranged at the opening of the filter element, so as to block the liquid in the drainage channel and prevent the liquid from splashing out of the filter assembly.

[0072] Furthermore, the connection component further includes a first installation side cover, which is respectively connected to the second housing and the filter element, so that the second housing and the filter element are connected together through the first installation side cover.

[0073] Among them, the face cover can be arranged on the first installation side cover or on the filter element. Specifically, the face cover can be connected to the first installation side cover as an integral structure, or can be connected to the filter element as an integral structure.

[0074] By arranging a face cover at the opening of the filter element, it can block the liquid in the drainage channel and prevent the liquid from splashing out of the filter assembly. And a first installation side cover is provided in the connection component, and the first installation side cover is respectively connected to the second housing and the filter element, so that the first cover body and the filter element are connected as a whole through the first installation side cover, so as to realize the taking, placing and cleaning of the whole filter element and the second housing, which is convenient for users to use.

[0075] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the connection component further includes: a first installation part, which is arranged on the first surface of the first installation side cover and can be connected to the second housing; a second installation part, which is arranged on the second surface of the first installation side cover and can be connected to the filter element.

[0076] In this technical solution, the first installation side cover includes a first surface and a second surface. The second housing and the filter element can be respectively connected to different surfaces of the first installation side cover, so as to connect the filter element and the second housing as a whole through the first installation side cover.

[0077] Among them, the connecting component includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member. The first mounting member is disposed on the first surface of the first mounting side cover, and the first mounting member can be connected to the second housing, so as to connect the second housing to the first surface of the first mounting side cover. The second mounting member is disposed on the second surface of the first mounting side cover, and the second mounting member can be connected to the filter element, so as to connect the filter element to the second surface of the first mounting side cover.

[0078] The first surface and the second surface can face the same side or different sides.

[0079] When the first surface and the second surface face the same side, both the first surface and the second surface face the outside of the first mounting side cover, and the first surface and the second surface are distributed in a stepped shape, and the second surface is closer to the center of the first cover body relative to the first surface.

[0080] When the first surface and the second surface face different sides, the first surface faces the outside of the first mounting side cover, and the second surface faces the inside of the first mounting side cover, so that the filter element after being connected to the first mounting side cover is located inside the second housing.

[0081] Regardless of whether the first surface and the second surface face the same side or not, after the first cover body is connected to the second housing in place, there is a certain distance between the second housing and the second surface. The space between the second surface and the second housing can accommodate the filter element. After the filter element is connected to the first through the second mounting member, there is still a gap between the side wall of the filter element and the side wall of the second housing, so as to facilitate the liquid to flow from the filter element into the first cavity. The gap between the side wall of the filter element and the side wall of the second housing and the gap between the bottom wall of the filter element and the bottom wall of the second housing together form a drainage channel.

[0082] Specifically, the connection process of the second housing with the filter element and the second housing is as follows: First, after the first mounting side cover is connected to the filter element through the second mounting member, the first mounting side cover drives the filter element to be inserted into the second housing, and the first mounting side cover is connected to the second housing through the first mounting member, so as to complete the connection process of the first mounting side cover with the filter element and the second housing.

[0083] By respectively arranging the first mounting member and the second mounting member on the first surface and the second surface of the first mounting side cover, the first mounting side cover can be respectively connected to the filter element and the second housing. Thus, the filter element and the second housing are connected as a whole, which is convenient for taking, placing and cleaning, and improves the user experience. And because the first mounting member and the second mounting member are respectively arranged on different surfaces of the first mounting side cover, it can prevent the second housing and the filter element from interfering during the connection process of the first mounting side cover with the second housing and the filter element, and can ensure the smooth connection of the second housing and the filter element.

[0084] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering component further includes: a third mounting member disposed on the second housing, and the third mounting member can be detachably connected to the first mounting member; a fourth mounting member disposed on the filtering member, and the fourth mounting member can be detachably connected to the second mounting member.

[0085] In this technical solution, a third mounting member and a fourth mounting member are provided in the filtering component. The third mounting member is disposed on the second housing, and the third mounting member is detachably connected to the first mounting member, thereby realizing the connection and separation between the second housing and the first mounting side cover.

[0086] The fourth mounting member is disposed on the filtering member, and the fourth mounting member is detachably connected to the second mounting member, thereby realizing the connection and separation between the filtering member and the first mounting side cover.

[0087] By providing the third mounting member on the second housing, the connection and separation between the first mounting side cover and the second housing are realized. By providing the fourth mounting member on the filtering member, the connection and separation between the first mounting side cover and the filtering member are realized.

[0088] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering component further includes a lifting member disposed on the second housing, the filtering member or the connection component.

[0089] In this technical solution, in order to facilitate the movement of the filtering component, a lifting member is provided in the filtering component. Among them, the lifting member can be disposed on the second housing, the filtering member or the connection component.

[0090] By providing the lifting member on the filtering component, it is convenient for the user to move the filtering component.

[0091] The second aspect of the present invention proposes a control method for a food processor. The food processor further includes a heating device for heating the crushing device. The filtering component can receive the food materials discharged from the crushing device. The control method includes: receiving a user's selection operation of the drink type, and the selection operation is used to determine a target production program from multiple production programs. The multiple production programs at least include a first production program and a second production program. The first production program includes: a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage; the second production program includes: a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage; running the target production program; wherein, the heating stage includes: controlling the heating device to heat the crushing device to a set temperature; the crushing stage includes: controlling the crushing device to perform a crushing operation; the filtering and discharging stage includes: discharging the food materials in the crushing device from the crushing device to the filtering component and then discharging them from the filtering component to the juice cup.

[0092] The control method of the food processor provided by the present invention is applicable to a food processor that stores and can run multiple production programs. In the control method proposed by the present invention, first, a user's selection operation for the type of beverage is received to determine the corresponding target production program from multiple production programs, and then the above target production program is run to obtain the target beverage. Among them, the types of beverages include plant milk beverages, coffee beverages, fruit juice beverages, soy milk beverages, etc., and users can choose according to their own needs without specific limitation here.

[0093] It can be understood that different production programs correspond to different types of beverages, and the selection operation can be used to determine the target production program corresponding to the type of beverage selected by the user from multiple production programs. Among them, at least the first production program and the second production program are included in the multiple production programs. Further, the first production program may include a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage, and the second production program includes a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage, and may also include a heating stage. By performing different selection operations, the user enables the food processor to implement different production programs, thereby performing different treatments on the ingredients to produce various types of beverages. That is, through the control method of the food processor proposed by the present invention, a food processor can complete the production of multiple beverages, realizing the multi-beverage production function of the food processor, increasing the usage range of the food processor, and improving the overall performance of the food processor.

[0094] Further, the first production program includes a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage. Among them, the heating stage is to control the heating device to heat the crushing device until the crushing device reaches the set temperature. The filtering and discharging stage is to discharge the ingredients in the crushing device into the filtering component, and then discharge the ingredients from the filtering component into the receiving cup. That is to say, when the food processor runs the first production program to produce a beverage, operations of heating the ingredients in the food processor to the set temperature, filtering, and discharging are performed in sequence. At this time, the ingredients for making the beverage can be placed in the filtering component, and the ingredients can be ingredients that are soluble in water, such as powder-like ingredients like coffee powder, soy milk powder, milk powder, etc.

[0095] Further, the above second production program includes a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage. Among them, the crushing stage is to control the crushing device to perform a crushing operation on the ingredients placed therein. At this time, the ingredients for making the beverage can be solid ingredients that need to be crushed, such as fruits and vegetables. Specifically, the above second production program may also include a heating stage. That is to say, when the food processor runs the second production program to produce a beverage, operations of heating the food to the set temperature, crushing, filtering, and discharging can be performed through the heating device, and the produced beverage can be a beverage such as soy milk that needs to be heated and crushed.

[0096] It should be noted that when the food ingredients are discharged from the crushing device to the filtering component, the filtering component will automatically filter or dissolve the food ingredients. In this way, the produced drink is more delicate and uniform, ensuring the user's taste. At the same time, through the automatic filtering of the food ingredients by the filtering component, it avoids the user manually filtering the drink with other tools, reduces the user's operation steps, improves the efficiency of drink production, and enhances the general applicability of the food processor.

[0097] Therefore, through the control method of the food processor proposed by the present invention, by controlling the filtering accuracy in the filtering and discharging stage and the combination with the heating stage and / or the crushing stage, the function of making multiple drinks can be achieved by one food processor, improving the applicability of the food processor, enabling automatic filtering of the drink, reducing the user's operation steps, improving the production efficiency of the drink, and thus enhancing the overall performance of the food processor.

[0098] In addition, according to the control method of the food processor in the above technical solution provided by the present invention, it may further have the following additional technical features:

[0099] In the above technical solution, further, the filtering and discharging stage includes: controlling the driving component to standby to perform a first-precision filtering on the food ingredients in the filtering component.

[0100] In this technical solution, the filtering and discharging stage specifically includes controlling the driving component to standby, that is, the driving component does not drive the filtering component to rotate. In this way, after the food ingredients enter the filtering component, only the filter screen placed in the filtering component performs a first-precision filtering on the impurities or fibers in the food ingredients. The first-precision filtering is a preliminary filtering, and there are still some impurities or fibers in the filtered food ingredients. That is, the drink produced at this time is a high-fiber drink. For users who like this type of drink, they can choose to make it by controlling the driving component to standby, meeting the different needs of users.

[0101] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the filtering and discharging stage includes: controlling the driving component to operate to drive the filtering component to rotate to perform a second-precision filtering on the food ingredients in the filtering component.

[0102] In this technical solution, the filtration and slurry discharge stage may further include controlling the operation of the driving component to drive the filtration component to rotate, so as to perform secondary precision filtration on the food materials in the filtration component. The secondary precision filtration is deep filtration. Compared with the primary precision filtration, the beverage produced by the secondary precision filtration is more uniform and delicate. Specifically, after the food materials enter the filtration component, they can not only be preliminarily filtered through the filter screen in the filtration component, but also be deeply filtered by driving the filtration component to rotate through the driving component. Specifically, when the driving component operates, the driving component can drive the filtration component to rotate slowly. When the filtration component rotates, a certain centrifugal force will be generated, and through the action of the centrifugal force, automatic centrifugal filtration of the beverage can be realized, so as to achieve deep filtration of the beverage on the basis of the preliminary filtration of the filter screen. In this way, the user can obtain a beverage with high uniformity and high fineness without performing additional manual filtration operations. While ensuring the user's eating taste, it can also reduce the user's operation steps, improve the efficiency of beverage production, meet the user's needs, and improve the overall performance of the food processor.

[0103] In any of the above technical solutions, further, based on the target production program being the first production program, running the target production program includes: controlling the heating device to heat for a first preset duration, and then controlling the crushing device to discharge slurry into the filtration component; controlling the driving component to operate at a first preset moment to drive the filtration component to rotate; wherein, the first preset moment is within the first preset duration or after the first preset duration.

[0104] In this technical solution, when the target production program is the first production program, the target production program specifically includes: controlling the heating device to heat for a first preset duration, and then controlling the crushing device to discharge slurry into the filtration component. At this time, the food processor can only heat the food materials in the crushing device according to the selection operation made by the user based on the type and taste of the selected beverage without crushing them, that is, the hot water is discharged into the filtration component at this time. At this time, an appropriate amount of powdery food materials such as coffee powder, milk powder, and soybean milk powder can be placed in the filtration component. When the driving component drives the filtration component to rotate and the filtration component rotates slowly, the above powdery food materials can be more fully brewed.

[0105] It can be understood that compared with the beverage brewed directly with hot water, the powdery food materials in the filtration component of the embodiment of the present invention can be rotated and filtered simultaneously. The powdery food materials remaining in the filtration component gradually decrease with the rotation of the filtration component and the injection of hot water until they are completely brewed. In this way, the above powdery food materials can be more fully brewed, so as to obtain a richer and more delicious taste.

[0106] In this technical solution, further, when the target production program is the first production program, the target production program further includes: controlling the driving component to run at a first preset moment, so as to drive the filtering component to rotate. The first preset moment can be within a first preset time period, that is, before the slurry is discharged from the pulverizing device, when the food ingredients are still being heated, the driving component is run to make it in a rotating state, and then the rotation of the filtering component is driven. In this way, when the hot water in the pulverizing device is discharged to the filtering component, it can ensure that it is fully mixed with the powdered food ingredients in the filtering component, ensuring the uniformity and fineness of the drink and improving the edible taste of the drink.

[0107] Further, in this technical solution, the first preset moment can also be after a third preset time period, that is, the driving component is run after the heating is completed to drive the filtering component to rotate. In this way, when there is no hot water entering the filtering component, the filtering component will not rotate, avoiding the waste of electric power resources and reducing the energy consumption of the food processor.

[0108] In any of the above technical solutions, further, before controlling the driving component to run at the first preset moment to drive the filtering component to rotate, the control method further includes: determining that the mass of the filtering component is greater than a preset threshold.

[0109] In this technical solution, before controlling the driving component to run at the first preset moment to drive the filtering component to rotate, the control method further includes: determining that the mass of the filtering component is greater than a preset threshold. The preset threshold can be equal to the mass of the filtering component when it is idle, and the preset threshold can also be slightly greater than the mass of the filtering component when it is idle. In this way, when the mass of the filtering component is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the filtering component contains contents (such as the above-mentioned powdered food ingredients), and then the driving component is controlled to run to drive the filtering component to rotate; when the mass of the filtering component is not greater than the preset threshold, it means that the filtering component does not contain contents, and at this time, it is not necessary to control the driving component to run. At this time, the user may only need to drink hot water without contents. In this way, the waste of electric power resources is avoided, the energy consumption of the food processor is reduced, and the performance of the food processor is improved.

[0110] In any of the above technical solutions, further, based on the target production program being the second production program, the second production program further includes a heating stage. Running the target production program includes: controlling the heating device to heat for a second preset time period; controlling the pulverizing device to perform a pulverizing operation, and after a third preset time period, controlling the pulverizing device to discharge slurry into the filtering component; controlling the driving component to run at a first preset moment to drive the filtering component to rotate; where the first preset moment is within the third preset time period, or the first preset moment is after the third preset time period.

[0111] In this technical solution, when the target production program is the first production program, the target production program specifically includes: controlling the heating device to heat for a second preset duration, and controlling the crushing device to crush the food materials therein. After a third preset duration, controlling the crushing device to discharge the slurry into the filtering component.

[0112] It can be understood that the second preset duration and the third preset duration may have an overlapping relationship on the time axis. Specifically, the crushing device and the heating device can be controlled to heat and crush the food materials in the crushing device simultaneously. Further specifically, after the heating device heats the food materials for a period of time, the crushing device can be used to crush the food materials. The preheated food materials are easier to crush, improving the production efficiency of the beverage.

[0113] Furthermore, in this technical solution, the first preset moment can be within the third preset duration, that is, before the crushing device discharges the slurry, when the food materials are still being crushed, the driving component is operated to make it in a rotating state, thereby driving the rotation of the filtering component. In this way, when the produced beverage is discharged from the crushing device to the filtering component, an automatic centrifugal filtering operation can be performed on it in a timely manner, ensuring that all the beverages entering the filtering component can be filtered in a timely manner, ensuring the uniformity and fineness of the beverage, and improving the edible taste of the beverage.

[0114] Furthermore, in this technical solution, the first preset moment can be after the third preset duration, that is, the driving component is operated to drive the rotation of the filtering component after the crushing is completed. In this way, when there is no beverage entering the filtering component, the filtering component will not perform the filtering operation, avoiding the waste of electric power resources and reducing the energy consumption of the food processor.

[0115] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the food processor includes a detection device for detecting whether the filtering component is in the working position. The control method further includes: based on the detection result of the detection device that the filtering component is not in the working position, giving up responding to execute the target production program.

[0116] In this technical solution, the control method of the food processor further includes: based on the detection result of the detection device that the filtering component is not in the working position, controlling the food processor to give up responding to execute the target production program. Normally, the filtering component is located below the crushing device to receive the liquid discharged from the crushing device. When the detection device detects that the filtering component is not in the working position, controlling the food processor to give up responding to execute the target production program. Since the food processor can store the residues in the beverage, when the filtering component is not in the working position, it may cause too many residues in the beverage to affect the taste and result in a poor user experience, or it is easy to cause internal pollution of the food processor. Thus, when the filtering component is not placed in the working position, the food processor does not perform the production operation, improving the overall performance of the food processor and the user's usage experience.

[0117] In a third aspect of the present invention, a control device for a food processor is proposed. The food processor further includes a heating device for heating a crushing device, and a filtering assembly capable of receiving the food materials discharged from the crushing device. The control device includes: a receiving unit for receiving a user's selection operation of a drink type, and the selection operation is used to determine a target production program from a plurality of production programs. The plurality of production programs at least include a first production program and a second production program. The first production program includes: a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage. The second production program includes: a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage. The heating stage includes: controlling the heating device to heat the crushing device to a set temperature. The crushing stage includes: controlling the crushing device to perform a crushing operation. The filtering and discharging stage includes: discharging the food materials in the crushing device from the crushing device to the filtering assembly and then discharging them from the filtering assembly to a slurry receiving cup.

[0118] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed, which includes a memory and a controller. The memory is configured to store programs or instructions. The controller is configured to execute the stored programs or instructions to implement the steps of the control method of the food processor according to any one of the technical solutions in the above third aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the food processor, which will not be elaborated here.

[0119] In a fifth aspect of the present invention, a readable storage medium is proposed, on which programs or instructions are stored. When the programs or instructions are executed by a processor, the steps of the control method of the food processor according to any one of the technical solutions in the above third aspect are implemented, and thus all the beneficial effects of the control method of the food processor are achieved, which will not be elaborated here.

Detailed implementation manners

[0155] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0156] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0157] The following refers to Figures 1 to 31 Describe the filter assembly 100, the filter device 200 and the food processor 300, the control method and device of the food processor provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0158] Embodiment 1:

[0159] As Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 and Figure 27As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a food processor 300, which includes: a body 310, the body 310 includes a base 311; a crushing device 320, disposed in the body 310, the crushing device 320 has a crushing chamber 326, and the crushing device 320 includes a first drain port 322 communicating with the crushing chamber 326; a filtering device 200, movably disposed in the body 310, the filtering device 200 has a first liquid inlet 131 and a second drain port 112; wherein, the first liquid inlet 131 is used to receive the liquid flowing out of the first drain port 322, the second drain port 112 communicates with the outside, and there is a liquid receiving space below the second drain port 112.

[0160] The food processor 300 proposed by the present invention includes a body 310, a crushing device 320 and a filtering device 200. Among them, the crushing device 320 is disposed in the body 310 and is used to crush food materials so that the food materials become tiny granular solids. The crushing device 320 has a crushing chamber 326. After the food materials are put into the crushing chamber 326, the crushing device 320 processes the food materials in the crushing chamber 326 to crush them. The crushing device 320 is provided with a first drain port 322 for discharging the crushed food materials.

[0161] Further, the filtering device 200 is disposed in the body 310 and is used to filter the solid-liquid mixture in the crushing chamber 326. The filtering device 200 is provided with a first liquid inlet 131 and a second drain port 112. The crushed food materials enter the filtering device 200 through the first liquid inlet 131. After the filtering device 200 filters the food materials, the filtered food materials are discharged from the second drain port 112.

[0162] Further, the filtering device 200 is movably disposed in the body 310 so that when the filtering device 200 needs to be cleaned, the filtering device 200 can be moved away from the body 310 for easy cleaning. In the working state of the filtering device 200, the filtering device 200 is close to the base, and the body 310 plays a certain protective and stabilizing role on the filtering device 200 to ensure the normal operation of the filtering device 200.

[0163] Further, the first liquid inlet 131 is used to receive the liquid flowing out of the first drain port 322, and there can be various positional relationships between the first liquid inlet 131 and the first drain port 322. Specifically, the first liquid inlet 131 can be located on the drainage path of the first drain port 322. After the liquid is discharged from the first drain port 322, it flows through the drainage path to the first liquid inlet 131, and the first liquid inlet 131 receives the liquid discharged from the first drain port 322.

[0164] The positional relationship between the first liquid inlet 131 and the first liquid discharge port 322 can also be: the projection of the first liquid discharge port 322 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection range of the first liquid inlet 131 on the horizontal plane, that is, after the liquid is discharged from the first liquid discharge port 322, it can naturally fall into the opening range of the first liquid inlet 131, thereby realizing the first liquid discharge port 322 to receive the liquid.

[0165] Furthermore, the base body is provided with a base 311, and the base 311 is located at the bottom of the base body. The second drain port 112 is connected to the outside, and there is a preset distance between the second drain port 112 and the base 311. Specifically, the filtered liquid is discharged to the outside space through the second drain port 112. There is a certain distance between the second drain port 112 and the base 311, so that a container can be placed between the second drain port 112 and the base 311 to receive the liquid discharged from the second drain port 112.

[0166] By providing the crushing device 320 and the filtering device 200 in the food processor 300, a one-stop processing of crushing and filtering of food materials is achieved, and liquid free of impurities or with extremely low impurities can be obtained without filtering the processed liquid containing impurities separately again, which is simple to operate and convenient to use, thereby improving user experience. By providing a liquid receiving space between the second liquid discharge port 112 and the base 311, a container can be placed between the second liquid discharge port 112 and the base 311 to receive the liquid discharged from the second liquid discharge port 112, thereby improving the convenience of user operation.

[0167] Embodiment 2:

[0168] like Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, based on the embodiment 1, the embodiment 2 provides a food processor 300, further comprising: a slurry receiving cup 340, capable of receiving the liquid flowing out of the second liquid discharge port 112, and the slurry receiving cup 340 can be taken and placed in the liquid receiving space.

[0169] In this embodiment, the food processing device is provided with a slurry receiving cup 340, which is located below the second liquid discharge port 112 and is used to receive the filtered liquid discharged from the second liquid discharge port 112. The slurry receiving cup 340 is detachable from the main body and can be taken out and placed in the liquid receiving space.

[0170] By providing the slurry receiving cup 340 in the food processor 300, the slurry receiving cup 340 can be used to hold the filtered liquid, and because the slurry receiving cup 340 is removably placed in the accommodating space, the user can freely take the slurry receiving cup 340 as needed, which is convenient to use.

[0171] Example 3:

[0172] As Figure 24 and Figure 25 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Example 3 provides a food processor 300. The crushing device 320 includes: a crushing cup 321, the crushing cup 321 includes a crushing cavity 326 and a first liquid discharge port 322; a valve assembly 323, which is arranged on the crushing cup 321, and the valve assembly 323 can block or conduct the flow path between the crushing cavity 326 and the first liquid discharge port 322.

[0173] In this embodiment, the crushing device 320 includes a crushing cup 321. The crushing cavity 326 is arranged inside the crushing cup 321, and the crushing cup 321 is used to hold the food materials to be processed. The crushing cup 321 is also provided with a first liquid discharge port 322. The solid-liquid mixture that has been processed in the crushing cavity 326 flows out of the crushing cavity 326 through the first liquid discharge port 322 and flows into the filtering device 200 through the first liquid inlet 131.

[0174] Furthermore, the crushing device 320 is provided with a valve assembly 323. The valve assembly 323 can be arranged on the crushing cup 321 to conduct or block the first liquid discharge port 322 and the first liquid inlet 131. Specifically, when the food processor 300 processes the food materials in the crushing cup 321, the valve assembly 323 blocks the first liquid discharge port 322 and the first liquid inlet 131 to prevent the unprocessed food materials from flowing out of the crushing cup 321. After the food materials in the crushing cup 321 are completely crushed and the liquid is mixed, the valve assembly 323 conducts the first liquid discharge port 322 and the first liquid inlet 131, so that the processed food materials flow from the crushing cup 321 through the first liquid inlet 131 into the filtering device 200 for filtering.

[0175] By arranging the valve assembly 323 in the crushing device 320 to conduct or block the first liquid discharge port 322 and the first liquid inlet 131, it is possible to control whether the food materials flow out of the crushing cavity 326 at different food processing stages, prevent the unprocessed food materials from flowing out, and enable the processed food materials to automatically flow into the filtering device 200 without manual operation, improving the convenience of use.

[0176] Example 4:

[0177] As Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Example 4 provides a food processor 300. A receiving space is provided on the machine body 310, and the filtering device 200 can be detachably arranged in the receiving groove or the filtering device 200 can be movably arranged in the receiving space.

[0178] In this embodiment, the filtering device 200 can be located at a first position where the first liquid inlet 131 and the first liquid drain port 322 are in communication. At this time, the filtering device 200 can be in an operating state. To ensure the stability of the filtering device 200 in the operating state, a receiving groove or a receiving space is provided on the body 310. When the filtering device 200 is located at the first position, the filtering device 200 is in the receiving groove or the receiving space, so that the filtering device 200 can be kept stable in the operating state to ensure the normal operation of the filtering device 200.

[0179] Specifically, a receiving groove is provided on the body 310, and the filtering device 200 and the body 310 are in a separable state. When the filtering device 200 is located at the first position, the filtering device 200 is located in the receiving groove. When the filtering device 200 is located at the second position, the filtering device 200 is separated from the body 310, so that the filtering device 200 can be taken out of the receiving groove.

[0180] In another embodiment, a receiving space is provided on the body 310, the filtering device 200 is connected to the body 310, and the filtering device 200 can move relative to the body 310. When the filtering device 200 is in the first position, the filtering device 200 is close to the body 310 and is located in the receiving space. When the filtering device 200 is in the second position, the filtering device 200 is away from the receiving space on the body 310.

[0181] By providing a receiving space on the body 310, the filtering device 200 is arranged in the receiving space in the operating state, which plays a certain protective role for the filtering device 200, keeps the filtering device 200 stable in the operating state, and ensures the normal operation of the filtering device 200. When the filtering device 200 is in the second position, the filtering device 200 is separated from the receiving space, which is convenient for the user to clean the filtering device 200 and improves the usability.

[0182] Embodiment 5:

[0183] As Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 5 provides a food processor 300, and the filtering device 200 includes: a first housing 210, including a first through hole 212 communicating with the outside; a filtering assembly 100, the filtering assembly 100 is detachably arranged in the first housing 210 and can rotate relative to the first housing 210, and the second liquid drain port 112 communicates with the outside through the first through hole 212.

[0184] In this embodiment, the filtering device 200 includes a first housing 210 and a filtering assembly 100. A cavity is provided in the main body, and the filtering assembly 100 is detachably arranged in the cavity of the main body.

[0185] The filtering device 200 is further provided with a first through hole 212 which is arranged in the first housing 210. Specifically, the first through hole 212 communicates with the cavity of the first housing 210. Among them, the filtering component 100 is further provided with a first liquid discharge port 322 which is used to discharge the liquid filtered by the filtering component 100. When the filtering component 100 is placed in the cavity of the first housing 210, the first liquid discharge port 322 of the filtering component 100 communicates with the first through hole 212, and further, through the first through hole 212, the first liquid discharge port 322 communicates with the outside, so as to discharge the filtered liquid from the filtering device 200.

[0186] Furthermore, the filtering device 200 can rotate relative to the first housing 210. It can be understood that in a static state, the liquid in the filtering component 100 is discharged from the filter element 120 by its own hydraulic pressure to achieve the separation of the liquid and impurities. However, simply by the hydraulic action, on the one hand, the liquid discharge speed is relatively slow, and on the other hand, when the remaining liquid is less, the hydraulic pressure is small, and it is difficult to discharge the liquid, which will cause some liquid to be unable to be discharged. When the filtering component 100 rotates relative to the first housing 210, the filtering component 100 generates a centrifugal force. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filtering component 100 is quickly thrown out of the filter element 120, and then the discharge of the filtering component 100 is accelerated, the separation speed of the liquid and impurities is increased, and the residual amount of the liquid in the filter element 120 is reduced.

[0187] As Figure 22 shown, the filtering device 200 further includes a support bottom cover 215. The bottom of the first housing 210 is provided with a first opening. The support bottom cover 215 is connected to the first housing 210 at the first opening for covering the first opening. The support bottom cover 215 is provided with a second through hole 216 corresponding to the first through hole 212. As Figure 21 shown, the filtering device 200 includes a plurality of first connectors 260 for connecting the support bottom cover 215 to the first housing 210. The first connector 260 can be a screw.

[0188] The filtering process of the filtering device 200 is specifically as follows: After the liquid containing impurities flows into the filtering device 200, the filtering component 100 rotates relative to the first housing 210. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filtering component 100 is quickly separated from the impurities, and the filtered liquid is discharged from the filtering device 200 through the first through hole 212 in the filtering device 200.

[0189] By rotating the filtering component 100 relative to the first housing 210, a centrifugal force is generated by the rapidly rotating filtering component 100. On the one hand, the filtering speed of the liquid is increased. On the other hand, the liquid is discharged from the filtering element 120 under the action of the centrifugal force, reducing the residual amount of liquid in the filtering element 120, improving the working efficiency of the filtering device 200, and enhancing the filtering effect.

[0190] Embodiment 6:

[0191] As Figure 11 、 Figure 13 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 6 provides a food processor 300. The filtering device 200 further includes: a driving component 220, and the driving component 220 is capable of driving the filtering component 100 to rotate relative to the first housing 210.

[0192] In this embodiment, the filtering device 200 further is provided with a driving component 220, and the driving component 220 is arranged on the first housing 210. The driving component 220 is connected to the filtering component 100 to drive the filtering component 100 to rotate relative to the first housing 210. Specifically, the filtering component 100 is placed in the cavity of the first housing 210, and the filtering component 100 and the first housing 210 can rotate relative to each other. Under the action of the driving component 220, the filtering component 100 rotates around its own center axis relative to the first housing 210.

[0193] By arranging the driving component 220 in the food processor 300 to drive the filtering component 100 to rotate relative to the first housing 210, a centrifugal force is generated during the rotation of the filtering component 100. On the one hand, the filtering speed of the liquid is increased. On the other hand, the liquid is discharged from the filtering element 120 under the action of the centrifugal force, reducing the residual amount of liquid in the filtering element 120, improving the working efficiency of the filtering device 200, and enhancing the filtering effect.

[0194] Furthermore, the rotational speed at which the driving component 220 drives the filtering component 100 to rotate is greater than or equal to 50 rpm and less than or equal to 5000 rpm.

[0195] In this embodiment, the driving motor 221 drives the filtering component 100 to rotate at a certain speed. It can be understood that a certain noise will be generated during the rotation of the filtering component 100, and the faster the rotational speed, the greater the noise. The centrifugal force of the filtering component 100 is also related to the rotational speed, and the faster the rotational speed, the greater the centrifugal force and the higher the filtering effect. To balance the relationship between the filtering effect and the noise of the filtering component 100, the rotational speed of the filtering component 100 is thus limited within the range of 50 rpm to 5000 rpm.

[0196] By limiting the rotational speed of the filtering component 100 within the range of 50 rpm to 5000 rpm, it can not only ensure that the filtering component 100 rotates at a certain speed, so as to ensure that the centrifugal force of the filtering component 100 meets the filtering requirements, but also ensure that the noise of the filtering device 200 is within a reasonable range and will not affect the user.

[0197] As Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, further, the driving component 220 includes: a driving motor 221 disposed on the first housing 210; a first transmission member 222 connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 221; the filtering device 200 further includes: a second transmission member 223 disposed on the filtering component 100, the second transmission member 223 is adapted to the first transmission member 222, and the first transmission member 222 drives the second transmission member 223 to rotate under the drive of the driving motor 221, so that the filtering component 100 rotates relative to the first housing 210.

[0198] In this embodiment, the driving component 220 includes a driving motor 221 and a first transmission member 222. A second transmission member 223 is provided on the filtering component 100. The second transmission member 223 is adapted to the first transmission member 222. The driving component 220 drives the first transmission member 222 to rotate. The first transmission member 222 cooperates with the second transmission member 223 and then drives the second transmission member 223 to rotate through the first transmission member 222, so as to realize the driving of the filtering component 100 by the driving component 220, and the filtering component 100 rotates relative to the first housing 210.

[0199] As Figure 20 shown, specifically, the driving motor 221 is disposed on the first housing 210. An output shaft is provided at the output end of the driving motor 221. A limiting platform is provided on one side of the output shaft close to the driving motor 221. The driving component 220 further includes a snap ring 224, and the snap ring 224 is disposed on the side away from the driving motor 221 relative to the limiting platform. The first transmission member 222 is disposed on the output shaft, one end abuts against the limiting platform, and the other end limits the first transmission member 222 through the snap ring 224 to prevent the first transmission member 222 from falling off the output shaft, thereby realizing the connection between the first transmission member 222 and the driving motor 221.

[0200] The second transmission member 223 is disposed on the filtering component 100. The filtering component 100 is disposed in the cavity of the first housing 210, that is, the second transmission member 223 is located in the cavity of the first housing 210. In order to make the first transmission member 222 cooperate with the second transmission member 223, at least part of the first transmission member 222 is extended into the cavity where the filtering component 100 is located, so that the first transmission member 222 can contact and cooperate with the second transmission member 223.

[0201] The driving process of the driving component 220 for the filtering component 100 is as follows: The driving motor 221 operates and drives the output shaft to rotate. The first transmission member 222 is connected to the output shaft. The driving motor 221 transmits the driving torque to the first transmission member 222 through the output shaft. The first transmission member 222 is adapted to the second transmission member 223, and then transmits the driving torque to the second transmission member 223. The second transmission member 223 rotates accordingly, and then drives the filtering component 100 to rotate, realizing the driving of the filtering component 100 by the driving component 220.

[0202] Furthermore, the driving motor 221 can be set to different speeds. It can be understood that for different solid-liquid mixtures, the filtering difficulty is different, and the required centrifugal force is also different. Therefore, corresponding to different liquids to be filtered, the driving motor 221 can be set to different speeds to improve the filtering effect.

[0203] By providing the first transmission member 222 in the driving component 220 and making the first transmission member 222 cooperate with the second transmission member 223 of the filtering component 100, the driving effect of the driving component 220 on the filtering component 100 is realized. This driving method is simple and reliable, occupies a small space, and has high working efficiency.

[0204] Embodiment 7:

[0205] As Figure 10 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 15 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 7 provides a food processor 300. The first housing 210 includes: a first cavity 211 for accommodating the filtering component 100, and a first through hole 212 communicating with the first cavity 211.

[0206] In this embodiment, the first housing 210 includes a first cavity 211, and the filtering component 100 is disposed in the first cavity 211. Among them, the first through hole 212 is connected to the first cavity 211. When the filtering component 100 is placed in the first cavity 211, the liquid discharge port of the filtering component 100 is disposed opposite to the first through hole 212, so that the liquid discharge port of the filtering component 100 is communicated with the external space of the filtering device 200, and the filtered liquid is discharged from the filtering device 200.

[0207] By providing a first cavity 211 in the first housing 210, the filter assembly 100 can be accommodated in the first cavity 211. When the filter assembly 100 is in a rotating state, the wall of the first cavity 211 provides a certain degree of protection for the filter assembly 100. By connecting the first through-hole 212 to the first cavity 211, the drain port of the filter assembly 100 can communicate with the first through-hole 212 through the first cavity 211, and then the drain port of the filter assembly 100 is connected to the external space of the filtering device 200 through the first through-hole 212.

[0208] As Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 18 shown, further, the first housing 210 further includes: a second cavity 213, a drive motor 221 is disposed in the second cavity 213, an output shaft extends out of the second cavity 213, and a first transmission member 222 is located outside the second cavity 213; an avoidance notch 214, corresponding to the first transmission member 222, communicating with the first cavity 211, and at least a part of the first transmission member 222 extends into the first cavity 211 through the avoidance notch 214.

[0209] In this embodiment, the first housing 210 includes a second cavity 213, and the drive motor 221 is disposed in the second cavity 213. An opening is provided at the bottom of the second cavity 213, and the first housing 210 includes a motor cavity bottom cover 217, which is connected to the first housing 210 at the opening at the bottom of the second cavity 213 for covering the second cavity 213. As Figure 23 shown, the first housing 210 is further provided with a plurality of second connectors 270 for connecting the first housing 210 and the motor cavity bottom cover 217. The second connectors 270 can be screws.

[0210] Specifically, a third through-hole is provided on the motor cavity bottom cover 217, and the output shaft of the motor extends out of the second cavity 213 through the third through-hole and is connected to the first transmission member 222, and the first transmission member 222 is disposed outside the second cavity 213. Specifically, the first transmission member 222 is disposed between the bracket bottom cover 215 and the bottom wall of the second cavity 213.

[0211] The first housing 210 is further provided with an avoidance notch 214, the avoidance notch 214 communicates with the second cavity 213, and the first transmission member 222 extends into the second cavity 213 through the avoidance notch 214 and cooperates with the second transmission member 223.

[0212] The first housing 210 further includes a second cover 219. The second cover 219 is disposed at the open end of the second cavity 213 away from the drive motor 221 for closing the opening of the second cavity 213. Specifically, a positioning boss is provided in the second cavity 213, and one end of the second cover 219 abuts against the positioning boss to limit the second cover 219. A positioning protrusion is provided on the side wall of the second cover 219, and a positioning groove 218 that cooperates with the positioning protrusion is further provided on the inner wall of the second cavity 213. When the second cover 219 is placed in the second cavity 213, the positioning protrusion on the second cover 219 is inserted into the positioning groove 218 of the second cavity 213 to prevent the second cover 219 from rotating and limit the second cover 219.

[0213] By providing the second cavity 213 in the first housing 210 and disposing the drive motor 221 in the second cavity 213, a certain protective effect is achieved on the drive motor 221, reducing the influence of the external environment on the motor. And by providing the second cover 219 to close the opening of the second cavity 213, it prevents external impurities from entering the second cavity 213 and damaging the drive motor 221, improving the protective effect on the drive motor 221.

[0214] Embodiment 8:

[0215] As Figure 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 8 provides a food processor 300. The filtering device 200 further includes: a rolling member 230 rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly 100, and the rolling member 230 is located between the filtering assembly 100 and the first housing 210.

[0216] In this embodiment, the filtering device 200 includes a rolling member 230 rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly 100 and located between the filtering assembly 100 and the first housing 210. Specifically, the rolling member 230 is disposed on the bottom wall of the filtering assembly 100, and the filtering assembly 100 abuts against the first housing 210 through the rolling member 230. The rolling member 230 is rotatably disposed on the filtering assembly 100. When the filtering assembly 100 rotates driven by the drive motor 221, the filtering assembly 100 rolls along the first housing 210 supported by the rolling member 230, reducing the friction between the filtering assembly 100 and the first housing 210.

[0217] By arranging a rolling member 230 between the filtering component 100 and the first housing 210, on the one hand, it plays a supporting role for the filtering component 100. On the other hand, when the filtering component 100 is in a rotating state, since the rolling friction exists between the rolling member 230 and the first housing 210, the frictional force is extremely small, thereby reducing the force on the filtering component 100, reducing the frictional loss, and improving the working efficiency of the filtering device 200. And because the frictional force between the filtering component 100 and the first housing 210 is reduced, the noise generated during the rotation of the filtering component 100 is also reduced, playing a role in noise reduction.

[0218] Embodiment 9:

[0219] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 9 provides a food processor 300. The filtering component 100 includes: a second housing 110, the second housing 110 includes a third cavity 111, and the second housing 110 includes a second liquid discharge port 112; a filtering member 120, arranged in the third cavity 111, the filtering member 120 is configured as a cavity structure with an opening, and a plurality of filtering holes are arranged on the filtering member 120; a connecting component 130, capable of detachably connecting the filtering member 120 and the second housing 110; wherein, a liquid discharge channel is formed between the filtering member 120 and the second housing 110, and the liquid discharge channel is communicated with the second liquid discharge port 112.

[0220] In this embodiment, the filtering component 100 includes a second housing 110, and a third cavity 111 and a second liquid discharge port 112 are further arranged in the second housing 110. Among them, the second liquid discharge port 112 is communicated with the third cavity 111 and is arranged on the bottom wall of the second housing 110, that is, the liquid in the third cavity 111 can flow out of the second housing 110 through the second liquid discharge port 112.

[0221] Further, the filtering component 100 further includes a filter element 120. The filter element 120 is a cavity structure with an opening, that is, the filter element 120 includes a plurality of wall surfaces, and the plurality of wall surfaces enclose a receiving cavity, and an opening is provided on one side of the filter element 120, and the opening communicates with the receiving cavity. A plurality of filter holes are also provided on the filter element 120. Specifically, the filter holes are provided on the wall surface of the filter element 120. It can be understood that when the liquid mixed with impurities flows into the filter element 120, the liquid can flow out of the filter element 120 through the filter holes on the wall surface, while the impurities are blocked by the filter holes and remain in the receiving cavity of the filter element 120, thereby achieving a filtering effect. The filtering effect of the filter element 120 is related to the density of the filter holes. The higher the density of the filter holes, the higher the filtering effect. However, a too-high density of filter holes will cause difficulty in liquid discharge. To balance the filtering effect and the liquid discharge speed of the filter element 120, the density of the filter holes can be set in the range of 50 mesh to 120 mesh, preferably 80 mesh. The filter element 120 is arranged in the third cavity 111. The liquid filtered by the filter element 120 flows into the third cavity 111 and is discharged from the third cavity 111 through the second liquid discharge port 112.

[0222] Further, a connecting component 130 is also provided in the filtering component 100 for connecting the filter element 120 and the second housing 110. Specifically, the filter element 120 can be detachably connected to the second housing 110 through the connecting component 130. Among them, the connecting component 130 can be a separate component independent of the filter element 120 and the second housing 110, or can be a component provided on the filter element 120 and / or the second housing 110.

[0223] Specifically, the connecting component 130 can be a threaded connection structure, that is, a threaded connection structure is provided on the side walls of the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 as the connecting component 130, and the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 are connected or separated by the screwing of the threads. The connecting component 130 can also be a snap connection structure. That is, a clamping groove is provided on one of the second housing 110 and the filter element 120, and a snap protrusion is provided on the other. The snap protrusion can be snapped into the clamping groove to connect the second housing 110 and the filter element 120, and the snap protrusion can also slide out of the clamping groove to separate the two. The connecting component 130 can also be a separate component independent of the second housing 110 and the filter element 120. By connecting or separating the connecting component 130 to and from the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 respectively, the connection or separation of the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 is realized. Further, a gap is left between the filter element 120 located in the third cavity 111 and the second housing 110, so as to form a liquid discharge channel between the filter element 120 and the second housing 110. The liquid discharge channel is located in the third cavity 111 and communicates with the second liquid discharge port 112. The filtered liquid flows into the liquid discharge channel through the filter holes and then is discharged from the second liquid discharge port 112, thereby realizing the functions of filtering and discharging the liquid.

[0224] The filtering process of the filtering component 100 is as follows: The liquid containing impurities flows into the accommodation cavity of the filter element 120. The filter holes on the filter element 120 block the impurities in the liquid within the filter element 120, while the liquid passes through the filter holes and discharges from the filter element 120. The filtered liquid flows into the drain channel and then discharges from the second drain port 112 of the filtering component 100, completing the filtering of the liquid by the filtering component 100. When the filtering component 100 is arranged in the filtering device 200, the filtering component 100 can rotate under the drive of the driving component. The rotating filtering component 100 generates a centrifugal force. Under the action of the centrifugal force, the liquid in the filter element 120 quickly discharges from the filter holes to the drain channel, accelerating the filtering process and improving the filtering effect.

[0225] By arranging the connecting component 130 in the filtering component 100, the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 are detachably connected through the connecting component 130, making the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 form an integral whole, facilitating the taking, placing and cleaning of the whole filtering component 100 and improving the usability. By arranging the filter element 120 in the filtering component 100, the impurities in the liquid can be separated from the liquid, thus realizing the filtering function of the liquid. And by setting the filter element 120 as a cavity structure with an opening, the liquid can flow into the filter element 120 through the opening on the filter element 120, thereby realizing the filtering of the liquid. By forming a drain channel between the filter element 120 and the second housing 110, it plays a role in guiding the liquid flowing out of the filter element 120, guiding the flow direction of the liquid and concentrating it at the second drain port 112 for discharge, facilitating the collection of the liquid and enhancing the usability of the filtering component 100.

[0226] Embodiment 10:

[0227] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 10 provides a food processor 300. The connecting component 130 includes: a face cover 132, located at the opening of the filter element 120, and a first liquid inlet 131 communicating with the filtering cavity of the filter element 120 is arranged on the face cover 132; a first mounting side cover 133, which can be connected to the second housing 110 and the filter element 120; wherein, the face cover 132 is arranged on the filter element 120 or the face cover 132 is arranged on the first mounting side cover 133.

[0228] In this embodiment, the connection component 130 includes a face cover 132. The face cover 132 is disposed at the opening of the filter element 120. A first liquid inlet 131 communicating with the filter cavity of the filter element 120 is further provided on the face cover 132. The first liquid inlet 131 is communicated with the accommodation cavity of the filter element 120. The liquid outside the filter assembly 100 can flow into the filter element 120 through the first liquid inlet 131 to achieve the filtration of the liquid.

[0229] It can be understood that when the filter assembly 100 is filtering, the liquid flows into the drainage channel between the filter element 120 and the second housing 110. If the space between the filter element 120 and the second housing 110 is open on the side close to the opening of the filter element 120, the liquid in the drainage channel is likely to splash out of the filter assembly 100. Therefore, the face cover 132 is provided in the connection component 130 and the face cover 132 is disposed at the opening of the filter element 120, so as to block the liquid in the drainage channel and prevent the liquid from splashing out of the filter assembly 100.

[0230] Furthermore, the connection component 130 further includes a first installation side cover 133. The first installation side cover 133 is respectively connected to the second housing 110 and the filter element 120, so that the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 are connected together through the first installation side cover 133.

[0231] Wherein, the face cover 132 can be disposed on the first installation side cover 133 or on the filter element 120. Specifically, the face cover 132 can be integrally connected with the first installation side cover 133 or integrally connected with the filter element 120.

[0232] By providing the face cover 132 at the opening of the filter element 120, the liquid in the drainage channel can be blocked to prevent the liquid from splashing out of the filter assembly 100. And the first installation side cover 133 is provided in the connection component 130, and the first installation side cover 133 is respectively connected to the second housing 110 and the filter element 120, so that the first cover body and the filter element 120 are connected as a whole through the first installation side cover 133, so as to realize the overall taking, placing and cleaning of the filter element 120 and the second housing 110, which is convenient for users to use.

[0233] Embodiment 11:

[0234] Such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 11 provides a food processor 300. The connection component 130 further includes: a first mounting member 137 disposed on the first surface 136 of the first mounting side cover 133, and the first mounting member 137 can be connected to the second housing 110; a second mounting member 139 disposed on the second surface 138 of the first mounting side cover 133, and the second mounting member 139 can be connected to the filter element 120.

[0235] In this embodiment, the first mounting side cover 133 includes a first surface 136 and a second surface 138. The second housing 110 and the filter element 120 can be respectively connected to different surfaces of the first mounting side cover 133, so as to connect the filter element 120 and the second housing 110 into a whole through the first mounting side cover 133.

[0236] Among them, the connection component 130 includes a first mounting member 137 and a second mounting member 139. The first mounting member 137 is disposed on the first surface 136 of the first mounting side cover 133, and the first mounting member 137 can be connected to the second housing 110, thereby connecting the second housing 110 to the first surface 136 of the first mounting side cover 133. The second mounting member 139 is disposed on the second surface 138 of the first mounting side cover 133, and the second mounting member 139 can be connected to the filter element 120, thereby connecting the filter element 120 to the second surface 138 of the first mounting side cover 133.

[0237] The first surface 136 and the second surface 138 can face the same side or different sides.

[0238] When the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 face the same side, both the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 face the outside of the first mounting side cover 133, and the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 are distributed in a stepped shape, and the second surface 138 is closer to the center of the first cover body than the first surface 136.

[0239] When the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 face different sides, the first surface 136 faces the outside of the first mounting side cover 133, and the second surface 138 faces the inside of the first mounting side cover 133, so that the filter element 120 connected to the first mounting side cover 133 is located inside the second housing 110.

[0240] Regardless of whether the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 face the same side, after the first cover body is connected to the second housing 110 in place, there is a certain distance between the second housing 110 and the second surface 138. The space between the second surface 138 and the second housing 110 can accommodate the filter element 120. After the filter element 120 is connected to the first through the second mounting member 139, there is still a gap between the side wall of the filter element 120 and the side wall of the second housing 110, so as to facilitate the liquid to flow from the filter element 120 into the first cavity 211. The gap between the side wall of the filter element 120 and the side wall of the second housing 110 and the gap between the bottom wall of the filter element 120 and the bottom wall of the second housing 110 together form a liquid discharge channel.

[0241] Specifically, the connection process between the second housing 110, the filter element 120 is as follows: First, after the first mounting side cover 133 is connected to the filter element 120 through the second mounting member 139, the first mounting side cover 133 drives the filter element 120 to be inserted into the second housing 110, and the first mounting side cover 133 is connected to the second housing 110 through the first mounting member 137, thereby completing the connection process of the first mounting side cover 133 with the filter element 120 and the second housing 110.

[0242] By respectively arranging the first mounting member 137 and the second mounting member 139 on the first surface 136 and the second surface 138 of the first mounting side cover 133, the first mounting side cover 133 can be respectively connected to the filter element 120 and the second housing 110. Thus, the filter element 120 and the second housing 110 are connected as a whole, which is convenient for taking and placing and cleaning, and improves the user experience. And because the first mounting member 137 and the second mounting member 139 are respectively arranged on different surfaces of the first mounting side cover 133, it can prevent the second housing 110 and the filter element 120 from interfering during the connection process of the first mounting side cover 133 with the second housing 110 and the filter element 120, and can ensure the smooth connection of the second housing 110 and the filter element 120.

[0243] Embodiment 12:

[0244] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 12 provides a food processor 300. The filter assembly 100 further includes: a third mounting member 114, which is arranged on the second housing 110, and the third mounting member 114 can be detachably connected to the first mounting member 137; a fourth mounting member 121, which is arranged on the filter element 120, and the fourth mounting member 121 can be detachably connected to the second mounting member 139.

[0245] In this embodiment, a third mounting member 114 and a fourth mounting member 121 are provided in the filtering assembly 100. The third mounting member 114 is disposed on the second housing 110, and the third mounting member 114 is detachably connected to the first mounting member 137, thereby realizing the connection and separation between the second housing 110 and the first mounting side cover 133.

[0246] The fourth mounting member 121 is disposed on the filter element 120, and the fourth mounting member 121 is detachably connected to the second mounting member 139, thereby realizing the connection and separation between the filter element 120 and the first mounting side cover 133.

[0247] By providing the third mounting member 114 on the second housing 110, the connection and separation between the first mounting side cover 133 and the second housing 110 are realized. By providing the fourth mounting member 121 on the filter element 120, the connection and separation between the first mounting side cover 133 and the filter element 120 are realized.

[0248] Embodiment 13:

[0249] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, Embodiment 13 provides a food processor 300, and the filtering assembly 100 further includes a lifting member 143, which is disposed on the second housing 110, the filter element 120 or the connection assembly 130.

[0250] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the movement of the filtering assembly 100, a lifting member 143 is provided in the filtering assembly 100. Among them, the lifting member 143 can be disposed on the second housing 110, the filter element 120 or the connection assembly 130.

[0251] By providing the lifting member 143 on the filtering assembly 100, it is convenient for the user to move the filtering assembly 100.

[0252] Embodiment 14:

[0253] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a control method for a food processor, and this method can be implemented by a control device in a transaction processing device. This control method can be applied to the food processor provided in any of Embodiments 6 to 13 above.

[0254] As Figure 30 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method for a food processor, and this control method includes:

[0255] Step S102, receiving a user's selection operation of the drink type;

[0256] Step S104, running a target production program.

[0257] In this embodiment, the control method of the food processor is applicable to storing and running multiple production programs. The above-mentioned multiple production programs can be respectively used to produce different types of beverages, such as: plant milk beverages, coffee beverages, fruit juice beverages, soy milk beverages, hot water, etc. The user can select according to their own needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0258] In this embodiment, the above selection operation is used to determine a target production program from the above-mentioned multiple production programs. The above-mentioned multiple production programs at least include a first production program and a second production program. It can be understood that different beverage types correspond to different production programs, and the selection operation can be used to determine a target production program corresponding to the beverage type selected by the user from multiple production programs.

[0259] Among them, the multiple production programs at least include a first production program and a second production program. Further, the first production program may include a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage, and the second production program includes a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage, and may further include a heating stage. The user makes the food processor implement different production programs through different selection operations, so as to perform different treatments on the ingredients to produce various types of beverages. That is, through the control method of the food processor proposed in this embodiment, a food processor can complete the production of multiple beverages, realizing the multi-beverage production function of the food processor, increasing the usage range of the food processor, improving the overall performance of the food processor, and being conducive to the promotion of the food processor.

[0260] Further, in this embodiment, the first production program includes a heating stage and a filtering and discharging stage. Among them, the heating stage is to control the heating device to heat the crushing device until the crushing device reaches the set temperature. The filtering and discharging stage is to discharge the ingredients in the crushing device into the filtering component, and then discharge the ingredients from the filtering component into the juice cup. That is to say, when the food processor runs the first production program to produce beverages, it will sequentially perform operations of heating the ingredients in the food processor to the set temperature, filtering, and discharging. At this time, the ingredients for making beverages can be ingredients soluble in water arranged in the filtering component, such as powdered ingredients such as coffee powder, soy milk powder, and milk powder.

[0261] Furthermore, the second production program includes a crushing stage and a filtering and discharging stage. The crushing stage is to control the crushing device to crush the ingredients placed therein. At this time, the ingredients for making drinks can be solid ingredients such as fruits and vegetables that need to be crushed. At this time, the ingredients for making drinks can be solid ingredients such as fruits and vegetables that need to be crushed. Specifically, the second production program can also include a heating stage. That is to say, when the food processor runs the second production program to make drinks, the food can be heated to a set temperature, crushed, filtered and discharged by the heating device. The drinks made can be drinks such as soy milk that need to be heated and crushed.

[0262] It is worth noting that when the food is discharged from the crushing device to the filtering component, the filtering component will automatically filter or dissolve the food. In this way, the drinks produced are more delicate and uniform, ensuring the user's eating taste. At the same time, the automatic filtering of the food by the filtering component avoids the user from manually filtering the drink through other tools, reduces the user's operation steps, improves the efficiency of drink making, and improves the universal applicability of the food processor, which is conducive to the promotion of the food processor.

[0263] Therefore, through the control method of the food processor proposed in the present invention, by controlling the filtration accuracy of the filtration and pulping stage, and combining it with the heating stage and / or the crushing stage, one food processor can realize the function of making multiple drinks, thereby improving the applicability of the food processor, and realizing automatic filtration of drinks, reducing the user's operating steps, and improving the drink making efficiency, thereby improving the overall performance of the food processor.

[0264] Embodiment 15:

[0265] In this embodiment, based on Embodiment 14, further, the above-mentioned filtration and slurry discharge stage may specifically include:

[0266] The driving component is controlled to standby to perform first precision filtering on the food in the filtering component.

[0267] In this embodiment, the filtering and pulping stage specifically includes controlling the drive component to standby, that is, the drive component does not drive the filter component to rotate. In this way, after the food enters the filter component, only the filter placed in the filter component performs the first precision filtration on the impurities or fibers in the food. The first precision filtration is a preliminary filtration, and some impurities or fibers still exist in the filtered food, that is, the drink produced at this time is a high-fiber drink. For users who like this type of drink, they can choose to make it by putting the drive component in standby, which meets the different needs of users.

[0268] Specifically, based on the standby of the drive component in the filtering and discharging stage of the first production program, it indicates that the filtering component does not need to perform filtering and there are no ingredients to be dissolved therein. The above first production program can be used to make hot water.

[0269] Specifically, based on the standby of the drive component in the filtering and discharging stage of the second production program, it indicates that the filtering component needs to perform first-precision filtering, that is, primary filtering. The above second production program can be used to make beverages with more fibrous substances that need to be crushed, heated, and primarily filtered, such as ordinary soy milk.

[0270] Example 16:

[0271] In this embodiment, on the basis of Example 14, further, the above filtering and discharging stage may specifically further include: controlling the drive component to operate to drive the filtering component to rotate, so as to perform second-precision filtering on the ingredients in the filtering component.

[0272] In this embodiment, the filtering and discharging stage may further include controlling the drive component to operate to drive the filtering component to rotate, so as to perform second-precision filtering on the ingredients in the filtering component. The second-precision filtering is deep filtering. Compared with the first-precision filtering, the beverage made through the second-precision filtering is more uniform and delicate. Specifically, after the ingredients enter the filtering component, not only can the ingredients be preliminarily filtered through the filter screen in the filtering component, but also the drive component can drive the filtering component to rotate to perform deep filtering on the ingredients.

[0273] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the drive component operates, the drive component can drive the filtering component to rotate slowly. When the filtering component rotates, a certain centrifugal force will be generated. Through the action of the centrifugal force, automatic centrifugal filtering of the beverage can be achieved, so as to achieve deep filtering of the beverage on the basis of the preliminary filtering of the filter screen. In this way, the user can obtain a beverage with high uniformity and high delicacy without performing additional manual filtering operations, which not only ensures the user's eating taste but also reduces the user's operation steps, improves the efficiency of beverage production, meets the user's needs, and improves the overall performance of the food processor.

[0274] Specifically, based on the drive component in the filtering and discharging stage of the first production program driving the filtering component to rotate, it indicates that there are ingredients to be dissolved stored in the filtering component. The above first production program can be used to make brewed beverages such as brewed coffee powder, soy milk powder, and milk powder.

[0275] Specifically, based on the standby drive component in the filtering and discharging stage of the second production program driving the filtering component to rotate, it indicates that the filtering component needs to perform second-precision filtering, that is, deep filtering. The above second production program can be used to make delicate-taste beverages that need to be crushed, heated, and deeply filtered, such as plant milk, soy milk with a delicate taste, etc.

[0276] Example 17:

[0277] In this example, on the basis of Example 16, further, based on the target production program being the first production program, the above step S104 may specifically include the following S104a and S104b.

[0278] Step S104a: After controlling the heating device to heat for a first preset duration, control the crushing device to discharge slurry into the filtering component;

[0279] Step S104b: Control the driving component to operate at a first preset moment to drive the filtering component to rotate.

[0280] Specifically, in this example, the first preset moment may be within the first preset duration, that is, before the crushing device discharges slurry, when the ingredients in the crushing device are still being heated, the driving component is operated to make it in a rotating state, thereby driving the rotation of the filtering component.

[0281] Specifically, in this example, the first preset moment may also be after the first preset duration, that is, the driving component is operated to drive the filtering component to rotate after the heating is completed. In this way, when there is no hot water entering the filtering component, the filtering component will not rotate, avoiding the waste of electric power resources and reducing the energy consumption of the food processor.

[0282] It should be noted that, in this example, the control device can, according to the selection operation made according to the type and taste of the beverage selected by the user, only heat the ingredients in the crushing device without crushing them, that is, the liquid discharged into the filtering component at this time is hot water. At this time, an appropriate amount of powdered ingredients such as coffee powder, milk powder, and soybean milk powder can be placed in the filtering component. When the driving component drives the filtering component to rotate and the filtering component rotates slowly, the above-mentioned powdered ingredients can be more fully brewed.

[0283] It can be understood that, compared with the beverage directly brewed with hot water, the powdered ingredients in the filtering component in the embodiment of the present invention can be rotated and filtered simultaneously. The powdered ingredients remaining in the filtering component gradually decrease with the rotation of the filtering component and the injection of hot water until they are completely brewed. In this way, the above-mentioned powdered ingredients are more fully brewed, so that a richer and more delicious taste can be obtained.

[0284] Exemplarily, when the beverage type is coffee beverage, the user puts coffee powder into the filtering component according to the recipe, and then selects the coffee function item on the IMD panel. The display board transmits the received signal through the circuit to the control device MCU installed on the body of the food processor. The control device determines the target production program corresponding to coffee and starts to execute the target production program, controls the pump body to work to pump water from the liquid storage tank and the pipeline component into the crushing cavity, and the heating device performs the heating work. When the heating device heats for a period of time (the first preset duration) until the water temperature reaches the set temperature, before discharging the beverage to the filtering component, the driving component starts to operate and drives the filtering component to rotate; subsequently, the crushing device discharges the beverage into the filtering component, and the filtering component rotates to perform low-speed centrifugal brewing on the discharged beverage; finally, the filtered beverage is discharged from the filtering component, thereby obtaining a uniform and delicate coffee beverage.

[0285] It should be noted that there is no specific sequence relationship between the control device's execution of the above S104a and S104b. It can execute S104a first and then S104b, or vice versa.

[0286] Further, in this embodiment, before the above S104b, the control method of the food processor provided in this embodiment may further include the following step S106.

[0287] Step S106: Determine that the mass of the filtering component is greater than the preset threshold.

[0288] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset threshold may be equal to the mass of the filtering component when it is idle, and the preset threshold may also be slightly greater than the mass of the filtering component when it is idle.

[0289] In this embodiment, when the mass of the filtering component is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the filtering component contains contents (such as the above-mentioned powdery ingredients). At this time, the control device controls the driving component to operate to drive the filtering component to rotate; when the mass of the filtering component is not greater than the preset threshold, it means that the filtering component does not contain contents, and at this time, the control device does not need to control the driving component to operate. In this way, the waste of electric power resources is avoided, the energy consumption of the food processor is reduced, and the performance of the food processor is improved.

[0290] Embodiment 18:

[0291] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 16, further, based on the target production program being the second production program, and the second production program further includes a heating stage, the above step S104 may specifically include the following steps S104c, S104d, and S104e.

[0292] Step S104c: Control the heating device to heat for a second preset duration.

[0293] Step S104d: Control the crushing device to perform a crushing operation. After a third preset time period, control the crushing device to discharge slurry into the filtering component.

[0294] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second preset time period and the third preset time period may have an overlapping relationship on the time axis. Specifically, the control device can control the crushing device and the heating device to simultaneously perform heating and crushing operations on the food materials in the crushing device. Further specifically, the control device can also, after the heating device heats the food for a period of time, then use the crushing device to crush the food materials. The preheated food materials are easier to crush, improving the production efficiency of the beverage.

[0295] Step S104e: Control the driving component to operate at a first preset moment to drive the filtering component to rotate.

[0296] In this embodiment, when the driving component operates, the driving component can drive the filtering component to rotate slowly. Furthermore, the automatic centrifugal filtration process of the beverage can be realized through the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. Thus, on the basis of the filtration by the filter screen, the deep filtration of the beverage is realized. In this way, the automatic filtration of the beverage is achieved, improving the taste of the beverage, reducing the operation steps of the user, increasing the filtration efficiency, and meeting the needs of the user.

[0297] It can be understood that the first preset moment can be the moment when the driving component needs to start working. Specifically, the first preset moment can be the initial moment when the driving component executes the target production program.

[0298] Specifically, the first preset moment can be within the third preset time period. That is, before the crushing device discharges the slurry, when the food materials in the crushing device are still being crushed, the driving component is operated to make it in a rotating state, and then the rotation of the filtering component is driven. In this way, when the produced beverage is discharged from the crushing device to the filtering component, the automatic centrifugal filtration operation can be performed on it in a timely manner, ensuring that all the beverages entering the filtering component can be filtered in a timely manner, ensuring the uniformity and fineness of the beverage, and improving the taste of the beverage.

[0299] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset moment can be after the third preset time period. That is, after the crushing is completed, the driving component is operated to drive the filtering component to rotate. In this way, when there is no beverage entering the filtering component, the filtering component will not perform a filtering operation, avoiding the waste of electric power resources and reducing the energy consumption of the food processor.

[0300] Exemplarily, when the beverage type is a plant milk beverage, the user puts the ingredients into the crushing device according to the recipe and selects the plant milk beverage through an input operation (the user selects the plant milk function on the IMD panel). The control device determines the corresponding target production procedure according to the plant milk beverage (the display panel transmits the received signal through the line to the control device MCU installed on the body of the food processor to determine the function program of the plant milk). Thus, the food processor starts to run according to the target production procedure. Specifically, the control device controls the water pump to work and pumps water from the liquid storage tank and the pipeline assembly into the crushing device, and the heating device heats the crushing device; after heating for a period of time, the crushing device starts to crush and cut the food inside it; then, before discharging the beverage after crushing is completed, the driving assembly starts to run and drives the filtering assembly to rotate; subsequently, the crushing device discharges the beverage into the filtering assembly, and the filtering assembly rotates to perform low-speed centrifugal filtration on the discharged beverage; finally, the filtered beverage is discharged from the filtering assembly to obtain a uniform and delicate plant milk beverage.

[0301] It should be noted that there is no specific sequential relationship between the control device's execution of the above S104c and S104d. It can execute S104c first and then S104d, or vice versa. The control device executes S104e prior to S104d. The control device can execute S104d after completing S104e, or start to execute S104d during the execution of S104e.

[0302] Embodiment 19:

[0303] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 16, further, based on the target production procedure being the second production procedure, the above second procedure further includes a heating stage, and the above step S104 may specifically include the following steps S104f, step S104g, and step S104h.

[0304] In this embodiment, the driving assembly remains in a standby state. At this time, the filtering assembly does not rotate. For the beverage entering the filtering assembly, the filtering assembly can only perform preliminary filtration on it through the filter screen, that is, the beverage produced at this time is a high-fiber beverage.

[0305] Step S104f, control the heating device to heat for a fourth preset duration.

[0306] Step S104g, control the crushing device to perform a crushing operation. After a fifth preset duration, control the crushing device to discharge the pulp into the filtering assembly.

[0307] Step S104h, control the driving assembly to remain in a standby state.

[0308] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth preset duration and the fifth preset duration may have the same initial moment. At this time, heating and pulverizing operations are simultaneously performed on the food in the pulverizing device, which can improve the efficiency of beverage production.

[0309] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth preset duration and the fifth preset duration may also have an overlapping relationship on the time axis. After heating the food for a period of time, the food is then pulverized. The preheated food is easier to pulverize, which improves the efficiency of beverage production.

[0310] Exemplarily, when the type of beverage is a high-fiber beverage, the user puts the ingredients into the pulverizing device according to the recipe, selects the function item on the IMD panel, and the display panel transmits the received signal through the line to the control device installed on the body of the food processor. The control device determines the target production program corresponding to the high-fiber beverage, controls the pump body to work, and makes water flow from the liquid storage tank and the pipeline assembly into the pulverizing cavity. The heating device heats the pulverizing device for the fourth preset duration; at the same time or after that, the pulverizing device starts to pulverize and cut the food inside it for the fifth preset duration; finally, the pulverized beverage is discharged from the pulverizing device and is preliminarily filtered through the filtering assembly to obtain the high-fiber beverage.

[0311] Embodiment 20:

[0312] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiments 14 to 19, further, the food processor further includes a detection device for detecting whether the filtering assembly is in the working position. On this basis, the control method further includes the following step S108.

[0313] Step S108: Based on the detection result of the detection device that the filtering assembly is not in the working position,

[0314] Abort responding to execute the target production program.

[0315] In this embodiment, normally, the filtering assembly is located below the pulverizing device to receive the liquid discharged from the pulverizing device. When the control device detects through the detection device that the filtering assembly is not in the working position, the control device aborts responding to execute the target operation mode. Since the food processor can store the residue in the beverage, when the filtering assembly is not in the working position, it may cause too much residue in the beverage, affecting the taste and resulting in a poor user experience, or it is likely to cause internal contamination of the food processor. Thus, when the filtering assembly is not placed in the working position, the food processor does not perform the production operation, which improves the overall performance of the food processor and the user's usage experience.
