Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically to a food processing machine that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] Existing food processing machines typically include a body, a grinding cup mounted on the body, a discharge nozzle connected to the liquid outlet of the grinding cup, and a receiving cup. The body also includes an integral support base for holding the receiving cup, so that the discharge nozzle can directly discharge the slurry into the receiving cup during discharge. After discharge, slurry residue may remain in the discharge nozzle and the pipes connected to it. This residue may drip onto the support base after the receiving cup is removed, making the support base difficult to clean.
[0003] Meanwhile, the applicant had previously filed a utility model patent application with application number CN202123041522.0 entitled "A Food Processor". This application disclosed a hinged connection between the machine body and the support base, allowing the machine body to rotate relative to the support base. However, after the slurry is drained, residual slurry on the drain nozzle drips onto the hinge between the support base and the machine body, causing residue and dirt to accumulate at the hinge. This dirt is difficult for the user to clean, and over time, it can easily accumulate, producing odors and breeding bacteria, posing food safety risks and seriously affecting the consumer experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food processing machine that is easy to clean, thereby solving the problem of dirt and grime accumulating in the installation gaps of existing food processing machines and being difficult to clean.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a food processing machine that is easy to clean, comprising a body, a grinding cup disposed on the body, a discharge nozzle communicating with the liquid outlet of the grinding cup, and a receiving cup disposed below the discharge nozzle. The receiving cup is placed on a support base connected to the body. The machine body has a support base hinged to the discharge nozzle, and the support base can be flipped relative to the body for storage. When the support base is flipped to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the support base can be detached from the body to clean the installation gap between the support base and the mounting part, wherein 18°≤A≤78°.
[0006] This application sets the support base to be hinged to the mounting part, allowing the support base to flip relative to the machine body. When using the food processor, the user can flip the support base onto the table and place the receiving cup on the support base. After the food is processed, the food can be discharged into the receiving cup through the discharge nozzle. At the same time, when it is necessary to store the food processor, the support base can be flipped upwards, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the food processor, making it easier to store, and improving the user experience.
[0007] Simultaneously, when the support base is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane, force is applied to the support base, allowing it to be disassembled from the machine body. Users can then remove the support base for cleaning, making cleaning more convenient and faster. Furthermore, cleaning can be performed from all angles for a more thorough clean, ensuring the support base remains clean. After removing the support base, users can also clean the installation gap between the mounting part and the support base, preventing dirt and grime from accumulating in the gap, preventing odors, and preventing bacterial growth. This ensures the overall cleanliness and safety of the food processing machine, enhancing the user experience.
[0008] Furthermore, the inventors discovered through research that the process of consumers switching the support base between the placement and storage positions is very quick, and the support base reliably hinges to the machine body without easily detaching, preventing accidents. When consumers need to remove the support base to clean the installation gaps, it can only be removed from the machine body when the support base is flipped to an angle A with the horizontal plane and a pulling force is applied. By setting angle A to satisfy 18°≤A≤78°, the support base can only be disassembled within this angle range, preventing instability in the connection between the support base and the installation unit when it is placed on a table or in storage, thus ensuring operational stability. Because when the support base is flat on the table, users often move the support base and the machine body, causing the food processor to shift, which could potentially cause the support base to separate from the machine body, resulting in damage to the receiving cup. However, when the support base is flipped to the storage position for detachment, it cannot be reliably stored on the machine body.
[0009] More preferably, angle A satisfies: 20°≤A≤45°. This angle range is more in line with the user's operating habits. When the food processor is placed on the table, when A = 20° to 45°, the user only needs to press down on the machine body with one hand and pull the support outward with the other hand to remove the support from the machine body. The user can apply force more easily, and the disassembly is simpler and more convenient, which greatly improves the user experience.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the machine body has a recessed mounting cavity, the discharge nozzle is located inside the mounting cavity, and the support base has a placement position for placing a receiving cup and a storage position that flips over to cover the opening of the mounting cavity.
[0011] By creating an installation cavity within the recessed side wall of the machine body, and placing the slurry discharge nozzle within the installation cavity, the nozzle is positioned far from the installation gap. This ensures that even after the slurry discharge nozzle has finished discharging, the user can directly remove the slurry cup from the support base. A small amount of slurry will still remain in the nozzle, allowing it to drip onto the bottom wall of the installation cavity. This distance from the installation gap prevents slurry from dripping into the gap and causing residual dirt. Furthermore, the user can directly clean the installation cavity, ensuring the overall cleanliness of the machine. Meanwhile, the support base has a placement position for placing the receiving cup and a storage position that flips up to cover the opening of the installation cavity. When the support base is in the storage position, it covers the opening of the installation cavity. On the one hand, after the support base covers the installation cavity, it can effectively prevent external dust from entering the installation cavity and installation seam through the opening of the installation cavity, thus effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the installation cavity and installation seam. On the other hand, it can effectively store the support base, preventing it from protruding from the surface of the machine body, further reducing the space occupied by the whole machine, and ensuring the integrity of the whole machine, thus improving the user experience.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the receiving cup is provided with an extension portion that extends into the mounting cavity, the extension portion is provided with a sensing magnet, and the mounting cavity is provided with a detection element that cooperates with the sensing magnet.
[0013] By designing the slurry receiving cup with an extension portion that extends into the mounting cavity, the cup, after being placed in position, partially sits above the mounting seam, effectively shielding it and preventing slurry from dripping into the seam, thus ensuring its cleanliness. Simultaneously, the extension portion is equipped with a sensing magnet, and the mounting cavity contains a detection element that works in conjunction with the magnet. This ensures that the detection element can only detect the slurry after the receiving cup is properly positioned, allowing the food processor to discharge slurry. This effectively prevents slurry from overflowing into the mounting seam, especially if the cup is not properly positioned or even not positioned at all, thus ensuring slurry discharge stability and the cleanliness of the mounting seam. Furthermore, placing the detection element within the mounting cavity, compared to the traditional method of mounting it on a support base, effectively shortens the wiring harness connecting the detection element and the circuit board, reducing production costs. Furthermore, during the long-term rotation of the support base, the wiring harness will not age or even break, thus preventing the detection element from becoming unstable or failing. This ensures the sensitivity of the detection element, extends the service life of the food processing machine, and also provides conditions for the detachable support base.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of a food processor that is easy to clean, the food processor further includes a residual water box disposed within the mounting cavity, and the discharge nozzle has a discharge position located above the receiving cup and a wastewater discharge position that moves to a position located above the residual water box.
[0015] By installing a residual water box inside the installation cavity, and having a discharge nozzle with a discharge position above the receiving cup and a wastewater discharge position above the residual water box, the food processor discharges slurry into the receiving cup through the discharge nozzle after processing the ingredients. After discharge, the discharge nozzle moves to the wastewater discharge position above the residual water box, and the food processor automatically starts its self-cleaning mode. After cleaning, the wastewater is discharged into the residual water box. The operation process is unmanned, the whole machine is more intelligent, and the user operation is more convenient and faster, further improving the user experience.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the machine body has a protruding receiving portion, a discharge nozzle is installed in the receiving portion, and the support base has a placement position for placing a receiving cup and a storage position that can be flipped to fit against the side wall of the machine body.
[0017] By incorporating a protruding receiving portion on the machine body, and installing the discharge nozzle within this portion, the discharge nozzle protrudes outward relative to the machine body. This keeps the discharge nozzle further away from the installation seam, thus preventing the slurry from dripping into the seam and ensuring its cleanliness. Simultaneously, the support base has a placement position for the slurry cup and a storage position that flips to fit snugly against the machine body. When in the storage position, the support base fits snugly against the machine body, further reducing the overall space occupied by the machine when the support base is folded away. This facilitates the storage of the food processing machine, maintains the overall integrity of the machine, and enhances the user experience.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the support base is provided with a rotating shaft, the mounting part is provided with a shaft hole adapted to the rotating shaft, and the mounting part is also provided with an opening communicating with the shaft hole, so that the support base can be disengaged from the opening when it is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane.
[0019] By incorporating a pivot in the support base and a matching shaft hole in the mounting section, the support base and mounting section are connected through the engagement of the pivot and shaft hole, resulting in a simple structure that facilitates assembly. Furthermore, the mounting section has an opening communicating with the shaft hole, allowing the support base to disassemble when rotated to angle A with the horizontal plane. This enables users to easily remove the support base by simply lifting it when rotated to angle A, making operation more convenient and faster, and enhancing the user experience.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the shaft hole has a circular cross-section, the rotating shaft has a square cross-section, and the side length of the square is equal to the opening length. When the support is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the side of the square faces the opening.
[0021] By setting the cross-section of the shaft hole to a circle and the cross-section of the rotating shaft to a square, with the side length of the square equal to the length of the opening, when the support is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the side of the square faces the opening. This ensures that when the support is not rotated to angle A, the length of the rotating shaft at the opening is always greater than the length of the opening, thus preventing the rotating shaft from detaching from the opening at this time. Simultaneously, when the support is rotated to angle A, the side of the square faces the opening, allowing the rotating shaft to exit through the opening from the shaft hole.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the cross-section of the shaft hole and the cross-section of the rotating shaft are circular, and the opening length is not greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft.
[0023] By setting the cross-sections of the shaft hole and the shaft to be circular, the rotation of the support base is made smoother, improving the user's feel when rotating the support base. At the same time, the length of the opening is no greater than the diameter of the shaft, preventing the shaft from easily coming out of the shaft hole. This ensures that the shaft can only come out of the opening when the user pulls it outward, due to a slight deformation of the opening, thus guaranteeing the stability of the support base.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, the diameter d of the shaft hole and the diameter D of the rotating shaft satisfy: 0.05mm≤(Dd) / 2≤0.1mm.
[0025] By setting the diameter d of the shaft hole and the diameter D of the rotating shaft to satisfy: 0.05mm≤(Dd) / 2≤0.1mm, the diameter of the shaft hole is not too small relative to the diameter of the rotating shaft, which would cause the rotating shaft to not be properly assembled; at the same time, the diameter of the shaft hole is not too large relative to the diameter of the rotating shaft, which would easily cause the support to fall freely during the flipping process, thus ensuring that the shaft hole has a certain damping effect on the rotating shaft.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of a food processing machine that is easy to clean, a limiting part is provided at the bottom of the support base near the machine body, and the machine body is provided with a stop part that cooperates with the stop of the limiting part to prevent the support base from flipping under the machine body.
[0027] By providing a limiting part at the bottom of the support base near the machine body, and providing a stop part on the machine body that cooperates with the limiting part, the support base is prevented from flipping below the machine body, ensuring the stability of the support base. At the same time, it can keep the support base horizontal even when it is suspended in the air, and the receiving cup can still be placed on the support base, thus expanding the application range of the food processing machine.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0042] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the present invention provides a food processing machine that is easy to clean. The food processing machine includes a body 1, a grinding cup 2 disposed on the body 1, a discharge nozzle 3 communicating with the liquid outlet of the grinding cup 2, and a receiving cup 4. The body 1 also includes a support base 5 for placing the receiving cup 4. The body 1 is provided with a mounting part 12 located below the discharge nozzle 3. The support base 5 is hinged to the mounting part 12 so that the support base 5 can be flipped relative to the body 1. When the support base 5 is flipped to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the support base 5 can be disassembled relative to the body 1. The angle A satisfies: 18°≤A≤78°.
[0044] This application sets the support base 5 to be hinged to the mounting part 12, so that the support base 5 can be flipped relative to the machine body 1. When using the food processor, the user can flip the support base 5 to abut against the table and place the receiving cup 4 on the support base 5. After the food is processed, the food can be discharged into the receiving cup 4 through the discharge nozzle 3. At the same time, when it is necessary to store the food processor, the support base 5 can be flipped upward, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the food processor, making it easier to store, and improving the user experience.
[0045] Simultaneously, when the support base 5 is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane, it can be disassembled relative to the machine body 1. Users can then remove the support base 5 for cleaning, making cleaning more convenient and quicker, and allowing for thorough cleaning from all angles, ensuring the cleanliness of the support base 5. Furthermore, after disassembling the support base 5, users can clean the mounting seam 121 between the mounting part 12 and the support base 5, preventing dirt and grime from accumulating in the seam and ensuring the overall cleanliness of the food processing machine, thus improving the user experience. In addition, by setting the angle A to satisfy 18°≤A≤78°, the support base 5 can only be disassembled within this angle range, preventing instability in its connection with the mounting part 12 due to disassembly when placed on a table or stored, thus ensuring operational stability.
[0046] More preferably, angle A satisfies: 20° ≤ A ≤ 45°. This angle range better suits the user's operating habits, allowing the user to more easily apply force to the support base 5 within this range, thus making it easier to detach the support base 5 from the body 1 and further improving the user experience. In this embodiment, when A is set to 25°, applying force to the support base allows it to be detached from the body. It should be noted that for this embodiment, other structures can also be used to achieve the same effect of applying pressure to the support base when it rotates to angle A, thereby also allowing the support base to be detached from the body.
[0047] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the installation position of the discharge nozzle 3, which can be any of the following embodiments:
[0048] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the machine body 1 is recessed to form an installation cavity 11, the discharge nozzle 3 is located in the installation cavity 11, and the support base 5 has a placement position for placing the discharge cup 4 and a storage position that is flipped to cover the opening of the installation cavity 11.
[0049] By forming an installation cavity 11 in the recessed side wall of the machine body 1, and with the discharge nozzle 3 located inside the installation cavity 11, the discharge nozzle 3 is far from the installation seam 121. This ensures that if the user removes the discharge cup 4 from the support base 5 after the discharge nozzle 3 has finished discharging the slurry, there will still be a small amount of slurry in the discharge nozzle 3. The slurry can drip onto the bottom wall of the installation cavity 11, and since it is far from the installation seam 121, it avoids the situation where the slurry drips into the installation seam 121 and causes residual dirt. In addition, the user can directly clean the installation cavity 11, ensuring the cleanliness of the entire machine. Meanwhile, the support base 5 has a placement position for placing the receiving cup 4 and a storage position that flips to cover the opening of the mounting cavity 11. When the support base 5 is in the storage position, it covers the opening of the mounting cavity 11. On the one hand, after the support base 5 covers the mounting cavity 11, it can effectively prevent external dust from entering the mounting cavity 11 and the mounting seam 121 through the opening 123, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the mounting cavity 11 and the mounting seam 121. On the other hand, it can effectively store the support base 5, preventing it from protruding from the surface of the machine body 1, further reducing the space occupied by the whole machine, and ensuring the integrity of the whole machine, thus improving the user experience. Preferably, as follows... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the outer wall of the support base 5 has a groove 51, and the top wall of the mounting cavity 11 has a protrusion 13 that matches the groove 51. When the support base 5 is in the storage position, the protrusion 13 is precisely engaged in the groove 51, thus fixing the support base 5 and preventing it from falling back. Alternatively, a first magnet can be placed in the mounting cavity 11, and a second magnet that cooperates with the first magnet can be placed in the support base 5. When the support base 5 is in the storage position, it is fixed by the magnetic attraction of the first and second magnets.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the receiving cup 4 is provided with an extension part 41 that extends into the mounting cavity 11, that is, the part from the mounting seam 121 to the mounting cavity 11. The extension part 41 is provided with a sensing magnet 7, and the mounting cavity 11 is provided with a detection element that cooperates with the sensing magnet 7.
[0051] By configuring the receiving cup 4 with an extension part 41 extending into the mounting cavity 11, the receiving cup 4, after being placed in position, is partially positioned above the mounting seam 121, effectively shielding the mounting seam 121 and preventing slurry from dripping into it, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the mounting seam 121. Simultaneously, an induction magnet 7 is provided on the extension part 41, and a detection element cooperating with the induction magnet 7 is located within the mounting cavity 11. This ensures that the detection element can only detect the receiving cup 4 after it is placed in position, allowing the food processing machine to discharge slurry. This effectively prevents slurry from overflowing to the outside, especially into the mounting seam 121, even when the receiving cup 4 is not in position or not at all, thus ensuring the stability of slurry discharge and the cleanliness of the mounting seam 121. Furthermore, the detection element being located within the mounting cavity 11, compared to the traditional method of placing it on the support base 5, effectively shortens the wiring harness connecting the detection element and the circuit board, reducing production costs. Furthermore, during the long-term rotation of the support base 5, the wiring harness will not age or even break, thus preventing the detection element from becoming unstable or failing. This ensures the sensitivity of the detection element, extends the service life of the food processing machine, and also provides conditions for the detachable support base 5.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the food processing machine also includes a residual water box 6 disposed in the mounting cavity 11, and a discharge nozzle 3 having a discharge position located above the receiving cup 4 and a wastewater discharge position that moves to a position above the residual water box 6.
[0053] By setting a residual water box 6 in the installation cavity 11, and having a discharge nozzle 3 with a discharge position above the receiving cup 4 and a wastewater discharge position above the residual water box 6, the food processor discharges slurry into the receiving cup 4 through the discharge nozzle 3 after processing the ingredients. After the discharge is completed, the discharge nozzle 3 moves to the wastewater discharge position above the residual water box 6, and the food processor automatically starts the self-cleaning mode. After cleaning, the wastewater is discharged into the residual water box 6. The working process is unmanned, the whole machine is more intelligent, the user operation is more convenient and faster, and the user experience is further improved.
[0054] Example 2: In this example, the machine body 1 is provided with an outwardly protruding receiving part, the discharge nozzle 3 is installed in the receiving part, and the support base 5 has a placement position for placing the receiving cup 4 and a storage position that can be flipped to fit against the machine body 1.
[0055] By providing a protruding receiving portion to the body 1 and installing the discharge nozzle 3 within this receiving portion, the discharge nozzle 3 protrudes outward relative to the body 1. This allows the discharge nozzle 3 to be further away from the mounting seam 121, thus further preventing the slurry from dripping into the mounting seam 121 and ensuring its cleanliness. Simultaneously, the support base 5 has a placement position for the receiving cup 4 and a storage position that flips to fit snugly against the body 1. When in the storage position, the support base 5 fits snugly against the body 1, further reducing the overall space occupied by the machine when the support base 5 is stored. This facilitates the storage of the food processing machine, maintains the overall integrity of the machine, and enhances the user experience.
[0056] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the support base 5 is provided with a rotating shaft 52, and the mounting part 12 is provided with a shaft hole 122 adapted to the rotating shaft 52. The mounting part 12 is also provided with an opening 123 communicating with the shaft hole 122, so that the support base 5 can be dislodged from the opening 123 when it is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane.
[0057] By providing a rotating shaft 52 to the support base 5 and a shaft hole 122 adapted to the rotating shaft 52 to the mounting part 12, the support base 5 and the mounting part 12 are connected through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 52 and the shaft hole 122, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to assemble. Simultaneously, the mounting part 12 also provides an opening 123 communicating with the shaft hole 122, allowing the support base 5 to disengage from the opening 123 when it is flipped to an angle A with the horizontal plane. This allows the user to easily disassemble the support base 5 by simply pulling it when it is flipped to angle A, making the operation more convenient and faster, and improving the user experience.
[0058] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the structure of the rotating shaft 52 and the shaft hole 122, which can be any of the following embodiments:
[0059] Example 1: In this example, the cross-section of the shaft hole 122 is circular, the cross-section of the rotating shaft 52 is square, and the side length of the square is equal to the length of the opening 123. When the support seat 5 is flipped to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the side of the square faces the opening 123.
[0060] By setting the cross-section of the shaft hole 122 to be circular and the cross-section of the rotating shaft 52 to be square, with the side length of the square equal to the length of the opening 123, when the support base 5 is rotated to an angle A with the horizontal plane, the side of the square faces the opening 123. This ensures that when the support base 5 is not rotated to angle A, the length of the rotating shaft 52 at the opening 123 is always greater than the length of the opening 123, thus preventing the rotating shaft 52 from detaching from the opening 123 at this time. Simultaneously, when the support base 5 is rotated to angle A, the side of the square faces the opening 123, allowing the rotating shaft 52 to exit through the opening 123 from the shaft hole 122. Preferably, the diameter of the shaft hole 122 is equal to the length of the diagonal of the square, ensuring a proper fit between the rotating shaft 52 and the shaft hole 122, resulting in more stable rotation of the rotating shaft 52.
[0061] Example 2: As Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the shaft hole 122 and the cross-section of the rotating shaft 52 are circular, and the length of the opening 123 is not greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 52.
[0062] By setting the cross-sections of the shaft hole 122 and the rotating shaft 52 to be circular, the rotation of the support base 5 is made smoother, improving the user's feel when rotating the support base 5. At the same time, the length of the opening 123 is not greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 52, preventing the rotating shaft 52 from easily coming out of the shaft hole 122. It is ensured that the opening 123 will only deform slightly when the user pulls it outward, allowing the rotating shaft 52 to come out of the opening 123, thus ensuring the stability of the support base 5 during operation.
[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the diameter d of the shaft hole 122 and the diameter D of the rotating shaft 52 satisfy: 0.05mm≤(Dd) / 2≤0.1mm.
[0064] By setting the diameter d of the shaft hole 122 and the diameter D of the rotating shaft 52 to satisfy: 0.05mm≤(Dd) / 2≤0.1mm, the diameter of the shaft hole 122 is avoided from being too small relative to the diameter of the rotating shaft 52, which would cause the rotating shaft 52 to be improperly assembled; at the same time, the diameter of the shaft hole 122 is avoided from being too large relative to the diameter of the rotating shaft 52, which would easily cause the support seat 5 to fall freely during the flipping process, thus ensuring that the shaft hole 122 has a certain damping effect on the rotating shaft 52.
[0065] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, a limiting part 53 is provided at the bottom of the support base 5 near the end of the body 1, and the body 1 is provided with a stop part 124 that cooperates with the stop part 53 to prevent the support base 5 from flipping below the body 1.
[0066] By providing a limiting part 53 at the bottom of the support base 5 near the machine body 1, and providing a stop part 124 that cooperates with the limiting part 53, the support base 5 is prevented from flipping below the machine body 1, ensuring the stability of the support base 5. At the same time, the support base 5 can remain horizontal when suspended, and the receiving cup 4 can still be placed on the support base 5, thus expanding the applicability of the food processing machine.
