Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a food processing cup, a food processor, and a method for assembling and disassembling the food processing cup. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market. Food processors include soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders, which are machines that crush and mix food ingredients.

[0003] However, in the relevant technology, the blade assembly of the food processor is fixed to the mixing cup, meaning that the blade assembly and the mixing cup cannot be disassembled. This makes it inconvenient and incomplete to clean the blade assembly and the mixing cup, and bacteria can easily grow in the food processor after long-term use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present invention are intended to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a food processing cup.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a food processing machine.

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for assembling and disassembling a food processing cup.

[0008] In view of the above, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a food processing cup is provided, the food processing cup comprising: a cup body; a blade assembly detachably connected to the cup body; a locking member movably disposed on the cup body and movable between a first position and a second position; and a limiting member movably disposed on the cup body; wherein, when the locking member is in the first position, the locking member is limitedly engaged with at least a portion of the blade assembly and the limiting member; and the limiting member is movable relative to the cup body such that when the limiting member is disengaged from the locking member, the locking member is disengaged from the blade assembly when the locking member is in the second position.

[0009] The food processing cup provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cup body, a blade assembly, a locking component, and a limiting component. Specifically, the blade component of the blade assembly is disposed inside the cup body, and the inner surface of the blade assembly and the cup body together form an open food processing cavity. When the blade component of the blade assembly rotates at high speed, it can process the food ingredients in the food processing cavity to achieve the preparation of the food ingredients.

[0010] The blade assembly is detachably connected to the cup body. Understandably, the blade assembly can be installed on the cup body or removed from the cup body, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the cup body and blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0011] After processing the ingredients, the food processor in the relevant technology requires cleaning of the blending cup and blade assembly. However, the blending cup and blade assembly are fixedly connected, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and easily leads to incomplete cleaning. This can result in bacteria growing in the food processor after long-term use, affecting the safety of the prepared food and reducing the user experience.

[0012] By detachably connecting the blade assembly to the cup body, the blade assembly is connected to the cup body during food preparation. After food preparation is complete, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for separate cleaning. This allows for direct and unobstructed cleaning of all parts of the blade assembly from various angles, especially removing food residue from the corners and crevices. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures effective cleaning, and prevents bacterial growth in the cup body and blade assembly due to incomplete cleaning over long-term use, thus improving the user experience.

[0013] Furthermore, a locking element is disposed on the cup body, and the locking element can move relative to the cup body between a first position and a second position. When the locking element moves between the first position and the second position, it can engage or disengage with the blade assembly. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the locking element and the blade assembly, a detachable connection between the cup body and the blade assembly can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of the cup body and the blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0014] When the locking element is in the first position, it engages with the blade assembly to securely mount the blade assembly onto the cup. During food preparation, the food inside the processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, subjected to external forces, rotates within the processing chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup, influenced by this centrifugal force, is prone to rotating relative to the blade assembly. This can lead to a loose connection between the blade assembly and the cup, or even the blade assembly detaching from the cup, causing food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, the locking element engages with the blade assembly to lock them together, ensuring the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup during food preparation. This tight connection guarantees the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0015] Furthermore, a limiting component is mounted on the cup body and is movable relative to the cup body. Therefore, the locking state between the blade assembly and the locking component can be controlled by adjusting the engagement between the limiting component and the locking element. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly and facilitates its removal from the cup body for separate cleaning of both components. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures effective cleaning, and effectively prevents bacterial growth in the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning.

[0016] Specifically, when the locking member is in the first position, it engages with the blade assembly while also engaging with at least a portion of the limiting component on the cup body, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engagement position. In other words, it is impossible to unlock the locking member and the blade assembly by operating the locking member, thus achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thereby improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0017] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, first operate the limiting component to disengage it from the locking component. At this time, the locking component can be moved to the second position to unlock it from the blade assembly, making it easier to remove the blade assembly from the cup body. This allows for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body, reducing cleaning difficulty, ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and effectively preventing bacteria growth in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0018] In addition, the food processing cup provided by the above-described technical solution of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0019] In one possible technical solution, the limiting component includes a limiting member and an elastic member. The first end of the elastic member is connected to the cup body, and the second end of the elastic member is connected to the limiting member. The limiting member can move relative to the cup body so that when the limiting member is disengaged from the locking member, the locking member is disengaged from the cutter head assembly when the locking member is in the second position, and the elastic member deforms. When the locking member is in the first position, the elastic member can push the limiting member so that the limiting member is limited to the locking member.

[0020] In this technical solution, the limiting component is defined to include a limiting member and an elastic member. Specifically, one end of the elastic member is connected to the cup body, and the other end is connected to the limiting member. The limiting member can move relative to the cup body to limit the engagement or disengagement of the limiting member and the locking member. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting member and the locking member, the locking state between the blade assembly and the locking member can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning.

[0021] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the cutter head assembly, first operate the limiting member and disengage it from the locking member. At this time, the elastic member is compressed, moving the locking member to the second position to unlock the locking member from the cutter head assembly, thereby facilitating the removal of the cutter head assembly from the cup body for cleaning of both the cutter head assembly and the cup body, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0022] When the blade assembly needs to be installed and the locking member moves to the first position relative to the cup body, the locking member and the blade assembly are in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member can push the limiting member so that a part of the limiting member is in a limiting engagement with the locking member, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the blade assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thus realizing the self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0023] By incorporating an elastic element, the limiting element can automatically reset after movement, improving the ease of installation and disassembly of the cutter head assembly. Furthermore, when the locking element and the limiting element are engaged in a limiting action, the elastic element can maintain a certain state of compression, thereby enhancing the limiting effect between the locking and limiting elements through its elastic force.

[0024] In practical applications, elastic elements are springs or sheet springs, etc.

[0025] It is understandable that when the limiting member is operated to disengage from the locking member, thereby compressing the elastic member, and the locking member is disengaged from the cutter head assembly to remove the cutter head assembly from the cup body, the elastic member can remain in a compressed state or return to its natural state.

[0026] The elastic element remains compressed, and when the cutter head assembly is installed and the locking element is in the first position and cooperates with the cutter head assembly, the elastic force of the compressed elastic element pushes the limiting element to cooperate with the locking element.

[0027] If the elastic element returns to its natural state, when the cutter head assembly is installed and the locking element is in the first position and engaging with the cutter head assembly, the elastic element is compressed again. Then, when the limiting element is moved to the target position, the elastic force from the compression of the elastic element pushes the limiting element to engage with the locking element. The specific movement process can be set according to actual needs.

[0028] In one possible technical solution, the limiting component also includes a handle connected to the limiting member, with at least a portion of the handle exposed outside the cup body.

[0029] In this technical solution, the limiting component is further defined as including a handle. Specifically, the handle is connected to the limiting component, so that the limiting component can be moved by operating the handle, thereby limiting or disengaging the limiting component from the locking component. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting component and the locking component, the locking state between the blade assembly and the locking component can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning.

[0030] By incorporating a handle, the ease of operation of the limiting components can be improved, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the blade assembly and enhancing the user experience of the food processor equipped with this food processing cup.

[0031] Furthermore, at least a portion of the handle is exposed outside the cup body, thereby further improving the convenience for users to operate the limiting component to control the engagement state of the limiting component and the locking component, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0032] In practical applications, the handle and the limiting component are integrated into a single structure. This integrated structure provides superior mechanical properties, thereby increasing the connection strength between the handle and the limiting component and ensuring that the limiting component can move when the handle is operated. Furthermore, the integrated structure facilitates the manufacturing of the limiting component, reducing its production difficulty, increasing production efficiency, and ultimately lowering the production cost of the food processing cup.

[0033] In one possible technical solution, the limiting component further includes a protrusion connected to the side of the limiting member opposite to the handle; wherein, when the locking member is in the first position, the protrusion abuts against a portion of the cup body.

[0034] In this technical solution, the limiting component also includes a protrusion. Specifically, the protrusion is connected to the side of the limiting member opposite to the handle. When the locking member is in the first position, the protrusion abuts against a portion of the cup body, thereby preventing the limiting member from moving excessively and impacting the locking member, thus avoiding the problem of reduced installation stability of the locking member.

[0035] Understandably, when the cutter head assembly needs to be installed and the locking member moves to the first position relative to the cup body, the locking member and the cutter head assembly are in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member can push the limiting member so that a part of the limiting member is in a limiting engagement with the locking member, thereby locking the locking member and the cutter head assembly in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the cutter head assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thus achieving self-locking of the cutter head assembly.

[0036] When the elastic element pushes the limiting element to make the limiting element and the locking element limit each other, when the limiting element moves to the point where the protrusion abuts against a part of the cup body, the limiting element cannot continue to move. This prevents the limiting element from moving excessively and impacting the locking element, thereby reducing the installation stability of the locking element and further improving the installation stability and reliability of the cutter head assembly.

[0037] In practical applications, the protrusion and the limiting component are integrated into a single structure. This integrated structure provides superior mechanical properties, thereby increasing the connection strength between the protrusion and the limiting component, and ultimately enhancing the limiting effect of the protrusion on the limiting component. Furthermore, the integrated structure facilitates the processing and production of the limiting component, reducing its manufacturing difficulty, increasing production efficiency, and consequently lowering the production cost of the food processing cup.

[0038] In one possible technical solution, the cup body includes a cup body, a boss, and a limiting hole. The first end of the boss is connected to the cup body, and the second end of the boss extends away from the cup body. The limiting hole is provided on the boss, and the limiting member can move within the limiting hole. When the locking member is in the first position, the limiting member passes through the limiting hole and engages with the locking member for limiting, and the protrusion abuts against the boss.

[0039] In this technical solution, the cup body is defined as including a cup body, a boss, and a limiting hole. Specifically, one end of the boss is connected to the cup body, and the other end extends away from the cup body. The limiting hole is located on the boss, and the limiting member can pass through the limiting hole and move within it. When the locking member is in the first position, the limiting member passes through the limiting hole and engages with the locking member. The protrusion and the boss abut against the side facing the elastic member, thereby preventing the limiting member from moving excessively and impacting the locking member, thus avoiding a reduction in the installation stability of the locking member.

[0040] Understandably, when the cutter head assembly needs to be installed and the locking member moves to the first position relative to the cup body, the locking member and the cutter head assembly are in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member can push the limiting member so that a part of the limiting member is in a limiting engagement with the locking member, thereby locking the locking member and the cutter head assembly in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the cutter head assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thus achieving self-locking of the cutter head assembly.

[0041] When the elastic element pushes the limiting element and the limiting element passes through the limiting hole to make the limiting element and the locking element limit and cooperate, when the limiting element moves to the point where the protrusion abuts against the boss, the limiting element cannot continue to move. This prevents the limiting element from moving excessively and impacting the locking element, thereby reducing the installation stability of the locking element and further improving the installation stability and reliability of the cutter head assembly.

[0042] In one possible technical solution, the cup body further includes a cup seat and a first sealing member, wherein the cup seat is connected to the cup body, a locking member is disposed on the cup seat, and the first sealing member is disposed on the cup seat. The first sealing member is used to seal the gap between the cutter disc assembly and the cup body, and to seal the gap between the bottom opening end of the cup body and the cup seat.

[0043] In this technical solution, the cup body is further defined as including a cup seat and a first sealing element. Specifically, a locking element is provided on the cup seat. Therefore, the mating position between the cutter disc assembly and the cup body is located on the cup seat. The cup seat can limit or release the limit with the cutter disc assembly through the locking element, so that the cutter disc assembly can be installed on the cup body or removed from the cup body.

[0044] The cup body and the cup base are connected by threads or snaps, meaning they are detachably connected. This facilitates easy disassembly and cleaning of the cup body and base, further reducing the difficulty of cleaning the food processing cup and improving its cleaning effectiveness.

[0045] Furthermore, the cup holder is also equipped with a first seal, which specifically seals the gap between the cutter assembly and the cup body, as well as the gap between the cup holder and the cup body. This further prevents liquid inside the cup from entering the cutter assembly or leaking out of the cup body through the gaps between the cutter assembly and the cup body, thus further improving the user experience.

[0046] In one possible technical solution, the food processing cup also includes a mounting groove disposed on the cup base, the opening of the mounting groove facing the limiting component, at least a portion of the limiting component being located within the mounting groove and capable of moving within the mounting groove.

[0047] In this technical solution, the food processing cup also includes a mounting groove. Specifically, the mounting groove is disposed on the cup base, with its opening facing the limiting component. At least a portion of the limiting component is located within the mounting groove, and the limiting component can move within the mounting groove. By providing the mounting groove, on the one hand, installation space is provided for the limiting component; on the other hand, the movement trajectory of the limiting component is limited, ensuring that the limiting component can be limited or released from the locking element during its movement relative to the mounting groove. This improves the convenience of installing or disassembling the blade assembly and enhances the user experience.

[0048] In one possible technical solution, the locking member includes a locking body and a limiting part, wherein the locking body is rotatably disposed on the cup body, and the limiting part is disposed on the locking body; when the locking member is in the first position, the limiting part and the limiting member limit each other.

[0049] In this technical solution, the locking component is defined as including a locking body and a limiting part. Specifically, the locking body is rotatably disposed on the cup body, and the limiting part is disposed on the locking body. It can be understood that when the locking body rotates relative to the cup body, it can drive the limiting part to rotate relative to the cup body.

[0050] Specifically, when the locking member is in the first position, the limiting part and the limiting member cooperate to limit each other, thereby locking the locking member and the cutter head assembly in the mating position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the cutter head assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thereby realizing the self-locking of the cutter head assembly, further improving the installation stability of the cutter head assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup during operation.

[0051] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, first operate the limiting member by the handle to disengage the limiting member from the limiting part. At this time, the locking member can be moved to the second position to unlock the locking member from the blade assembly, making it easier to remove the blade assembly from the cup body for cleaning of both the blade assembly and the cup body separately. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use due to incomplete cleaning, thus improving the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0052] In practical applications, the limiting part can be a groove, that is, when the locking part is in the first position, a part of the limiting part can be inserted into the groove, so as to realize the self-locking of the cutter head assembly by the limiting of the groove and the limiting part, thereby improving the installation stability of the cutter head assembly.

[0053] In one possible technical solution, the limiting part is a groove; when the locking member is in the first position, a portion of the limiting member is inserted into the groove.

[0054] In this technical solution, the limiting part is defined as a groove. Specifically, when the locking member is in the first position, a part of the limiting member is inserted into the groove, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the mating position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the blade assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thereby realizing the self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup during operation.

[0055] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, first operate the limiting member by the handle and disengage it from the groove. At this time, the locking member can be moved to the second position to unlock the locking member from the blade assembly, making it easier to remove the blade assembly from the cup body. This allows for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body, reducing cleaning difficulty, ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and effectively preventing bacteria growth in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0056] In one possible technical solution, the locking member further includes a limiting protrusion connected to the locking body; the food processing cup further includes a limiting groove disposed on the blade assembly; wherein, when the locking member is in the first position, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are engaged in a limiting fit; when the locking member is in the second position, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are separated.

[0057] In this technical solution, the locking component is further defined as including a limiting protrusion. Specifically, the limiting protrusion is connected to the locking body, and when the locking body rotates relative to the cup body, it can drive the limiting protrusion to rotate relative to the cup body.

[0058] Furthermore, the food processing cup also includes a limiting groove, specifically, the limiting groove is located on the blade assembly. When the locking body drives the limiting protrusion to rotate relative to the cup body between a first position and a second position, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove can be engaged or disengaged. Thus, by controlling the engagement state of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, a detachable connection between the cup body and the blade assembly can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of the cup body and the blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0059] Specifically, when the locking body drives the limiting protrusion to rotate to the first position, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove cooperate to limit the blade assembly in the axial and radial directions of the cup. In other words, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove ensure the blade assembly is securely mounted on the cup. During food preparation, the food in the food processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, under external force, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup is easily affected by the centrifugal force and may rotate relative to the blade assembly, leading to insufficient connection between the blade assembly and the cup, or even causing the blade assembly to detach from the cup, resulting in food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove work together to lock the blade assembly and the cup, ensuring that the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup during food preparation and that the blade assembly maintains a tight connection, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0060] Furthermore, when the locking body drives the limiting protrusion to rotate to the first position, the limiting member also engages with the limiting part, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engaging position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the blade assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thus achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0061] When the limiting component and the locking component are unlocked, and the locking body drives the limiting protrusion to rotate to the second position, the limiting protrusion disengages from the limiting groove, and the blade assembly can be separated from the cup body. In other words, when the limiting protrusion disengages from the limiting groove, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning, thus improving the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0062] In one possible technical solution, the locking member further includes a gripping part connected to the locking body, and the gripping part can be pushed to cause the limiting protrusion to rotate between a first position and a second position.

[0063] In this technical solution, the locking component also includes a gripping part. Specifically, the gripping part is connected to the locking body. It is understood that when the user operates the gripping part, the gripping part can drive the limiting protrusion to rotate between a first position and a second position via the locking body, thereby enabling the limiting protrusion to engage or disengage with the limiting groove. Furthermore, by controlling the engagement state of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, a detachable connection between the cup body and the blade assembly can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of the cup body and blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0064] It is understandable that when the user operates the grip, the grip can drive the limiting part to rotate relative to the cup body through the locking body. Specifically, when the grip drives the limiting protrusion and the limiting part to the first position through the locking body, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are engaged in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member pushes the limiting member and the limiting part to engage in a limiting engagement.

[0065] In practical applications, the grip and locking body are integrated into one structure. The specific configuration can be customized to meet individual needs.

[0066] In one possible technical solution, the food processing cup further includes a clearance notch and a pivot. The clearance notch is provided on the cup body, and the grip portion is exposed on the cup body through the clearance notch. The pivot is provided on the cup body and located at the clearance notch. The locking member rotates around the pivot. When the locking member is in the first position, the locking member can fill the clearance notch.

[0067] In this technical solution, the food processing cup is further defined as including an avoidance notch and a pivot. Specifically, the cup body is provided with an avoidance notch, and the grip is exposed on the cup body through the avoidance notch, so that the user can easily rotate the locking body by operating the grip, thereby causing the limiting protrusion and the limiting part to rotate.

[0068] Furthermore, the pivot is set on the cup body, and the locking body rotates around the pivot. That is to say, the locking body includes a connecting part with a connecting hole. The pivot passes through the connecting hole and is rotatably connected to the cup body, so that the locking body can rotate around the pivot under the drive of the gripping part, thereby driving the limiting protrusion and the limiting part to rotate.

[0069] Furthermore, when the grip rotates the locking body so that the limiting protrusion is in the first position, the locking part can fill the clearance gap, thereby making the outer wall of the locking part and the outer wall of the cup form a complete side wall, thus improving the appearance of the food processing cup and further enhancing the user experience.

[0070] In one possible technical solution, along the axial direction of the cutter head assembly, the rotation axis of the rotating shaft is higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove.

[0071] In this technical solution, the rotation axis of the rotating shaft is defined to be higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove along the axial direction of the cutter head assembly. In other words, the distance between the rotating shaft and the opening of the cup body is less than the distance between the mating position of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove and the opening of the cup body. Specifically, along the axial direction of the cup body, the position of the rotating shaft is higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, thereby enabling the locking element to support the cutter head assembly along the axial direction of the cup body, further ensuring the installation stability between the cutter head assembly and the cup body.

[0072] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly includes a chassis, a bottom shell, and a second seal. The bottom shell is located on the side of the chassis away from the cup body and is connected to the chassis. A limiting groove is provided on the bottom shell. The second seal is provided between the chassis and the bottom shell to seal the gap between the chassis and the bottom shell.

[0073] In this technical solution, the cutter head assembly is defined as including a chassis, a bottom shell, and a second seal. Specifically, the bottom shell is connected to the chassis. It is understood that a receiving cavity can be formed between the chassis and the bottom shell. The receiving cavity can be used to place other components of the cutter head assembly, providing installation space for the installation of other components of the cutter head assembly.

[0074] In practical applications, the base can be a heating plate. Understandably, the base is positioned closer to the cup body than the bottom shell, and the base and the inner wall of the cup body form a food processing chamber. Thus, while the blade assembly of the blade plate is rapidly blending the ingredients in the cup, the base can also heat the ingredients, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared ingredients.

[0075] Furthermore, the blade assembly also includes a second seal. Specifically, the second seal is disposed between the base and the bottom shell, sealing the gap between them to prevent liquid from seeping into the space between the base and the bottom shell. It is understood that if the base is a heating plate, a heating element for heating the heating plate is also provided in the cavity between the base and the bottom shell. Liquid seepage between the base and the bottom shell can easily cause a short circuit in the heating element, reducing its lifespan. By providing the second seal, the lifespan of the circuit components inside the food processing cup can be extended while preventing liquid from seeping into the space between the base and the bottom shell.

[0076] The limiting groove is located on the bottom shell. Since the chassis and the bottom shell are connected, the cutter head assembly can be securely installed on the cup body when the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are in a limiting engagement.

[0077] In practical applications, the second seal can be a silicone seal.

[0078] In one possible technical solution, the food processing cup further includes a support portion, which protrudes from the inner side wall of the cup base, and a first sealing member is fitted onto the support portion; the first side wall of the support portion can support the bottom opening end of the cup body, and the second side wall of the support portion can limit the position of the base.

[0079] In this technical solution, the food processing cup also includes a support portion. Specifically, the support portion protrudes from the inner wall of the cup holder, meaning it protrudes inwards from the inner wall of the cup holder. By providing the support portion, the cup body can be supported while the base is limited, ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor's operation.

[0080] Specifically, since the cup body is connected to the cup holder and the blade assembly simultaneously, there may be a certain gap between the cup body and the blade assembly. By setting a first sealing element, the connection between the three can be sealed. A protruding support part is provided on the inner side wall of the cup holder, and the first sealing element is sleeved on the support part. The support part near the first side wall of the cup body abuts against the bottom opening end of the cup body through the first sealing element, thereby supporting the cup body and ensuring the installation stability and reliability of the cup body during the food processor's food processing process.

[0081] The second side wall of the support unit near the chassis abuts against the chassis through the first seal, thereby limiting the chassis in the radial direction of the cup body, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor's operation, enhancing the user's experience with the food processor.

[0082] In practical applications, the support and the cup holder can be a single integrated structure. This integrated structure offers superior mechanical properties, thus enhancing the connection strength between the support and the cup holder, ensuring effective support for the cup body and proper positioning of the base. Furthermore, the integrated structure facilitates manufacturing, reducing the difficulty of cup body processing, increasing production efficiency, and consequently lowering the production costs of the cup body and the food processing cup, ultimately reducing the overall production cost of the food processing machine.

[0083] In addition, the cup body may extend too far into the cup holder during the connection process, affecting the connection between the blade assembly and the cup holder, and thus affecting the use of the food processing cup. The first side wall of the support part can limit the cup body during the installation process, preventing the cup body from touching the blade assembly or affecting the operation of the blade assembly.

[0084] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly further includes a mounting hole, a through hole, and a first fastener, wherein the mounting hole is located in the chassis, the through hole is located in the bottom shell, and the first fastener passes through the through hole and the mounting hole to fix the chassis and the bottom shell together.

[0085] In this technical solution, the cutter head assembly is further defined as including mounting holes, through holes, and a first fastener. Specifically, the mounting holes are located on the chassis, and the through holes are located on the bottom shell. It is understood that the mounting holes and through holes are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. The first fastener passes through both the through holes and the mounting holes to connect the chassis and the bottom shell, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the chassis and bottom shell, ensuring a good connection between them. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0086] In practical applications, the mounting holes can be provided with internal threads. The first fastener can be a screw that mates with the internal threads of the mounting holes. The screw passes through the through hole, screws into the mounting hole, and tightens, thus fixing the chassis to the bottom shell. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0087] It should be noted that there are multiple mounting holes and through holes in a one-to-one correspondence, which improves the connection between the chassis and the bottom shell, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0088] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly further includes a first mounting member, a cutter assembly, a cutter shaft, and a third seal. The first mounting member is disposed on the chassis and extends toward the bottom shell. The first mounting member is configured to have a cavity structure. The cutter assembly is located on the side of the chassis away from the bottom shell. The cutter shaft passes through the chassis and is connected to the cutter assembly. The cutter shaft is placed in the cavity. The third seal is disposed between the first mounting member and the bottom shell to seal the gap between the first mounting member and the bottom shell.

[0089] In this technical solution, the blade assembly is further defined as including a first mounting member, a blade assembly, a blade shaft, and a third sealing member. Specifically, the first mounting member is disposed on the chassis and extends towards the bottom shell. The first mounting member has a cavity, a portion of the blade shaft is located within the cavity, and the other portion of the blade shaft extends out of the cavity towards the side where the cup body is located. The blade assembly is connected to the portion of the blade shaft extending out of the cavity. It is understood that the blade shaft can rotate at high speed under the drive of the drive component of the food processing cup. The high-speed rotation of the blade shaft can drive the blade assembly to rotate at high speed within the cup body to process the food inside the cup.

[0090] In practical applications, bearings are also installed inside the cavity, sleeved on the outside of the cutter shaft to support it and ensure its normal rotation, while also extending its service life. The specific number of bearings can be set according to actual needs.

[0091] Furthermore, the blade assembly also includes a third seal located between the first mounting member and the base. The third seal seals the gap between the first mounting member and the bottom shell, further preventing liquid from the cup body from seeping into the space between the base and the bottom shell. It is understood that if the base is a heating plate, a heating element for heating the heating plate is also provided in the cavity between the base and the bottom shell. Liquid seepage between the base and the bottom shell can easily cause a short circuit in the heating element, reducing its lifespan. By providing the third seal, the lifespan of the circuit components inside the food processing cup can be extended while preventing liquid from seeping into the space between the base and the bottom shell.

[0092] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly also includes a transmission component, which is located at the end of the cutter shaft that extends out of the bottom housing.

[0093] In this technical solution, the blade assembly is further defined as including a transmission component. Specifically, the transmission component is located at the end of the blade shaft that extends out of the bottom shell. That is, the first end of the blade shaft is connected to the blade assembly, and the second end of the blade shaft is connected to the transmission component. It is understood that the transmission component can drive the blade shaft to rotate at high speed, and the high-speed rotation of the blade shaft can drive the blade assembly to rotate at high speed within the cup to process the food inside the cup.

[0094] In addition, the end of the cutter shaft that connects to the transmission component extends out of the bottom shell, which facilitates the connection between the transmission component and the drive component to achieve high-speed drive of the cutter shaft.

[0095] In practical applications, the drive unit can be mounted on the base of the food processor. When the food processing cup is installed on the base, the drive unit connects to the transmission unit, allowing the transmission unit to drive the blade assembly to rotate at high speed within the cup via the blade shaft. When the food processing cup is removed from the base, the transmission unit disengages from the drive unit. Specific configurations can be tailored to individual needs.

[0096] It should be noted that transmission components can include various transmission methods, such as gear transmission and shaft transmission. The specific configuration can be determined based on actual needs.

[0097] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly further includes a mounting port, a coupler, and a second fastener, wherein the mounting port is located on the bottom shell, the coupler passes through the mounting port and is mounted on the bottom shell, and the second fastener is used to fix the coupler to the bottom shell.

[0098] In this technical solution, the blade assembly is further defined as including a mounting port, a coupler, and a second fastener. Specifically, the bottom shell is provided with a mounting port, and the chassis is connected to an external circuit through the coupler to obtain electrical energy so that the chassis has a heating function, that is, the chassis is a heating plate. It can be understood that the chassis is set closer to the cup body than the bottom shell, and the chassis and the inner wall of the cup body form a food processing cavity. Thus, while the blade assembly of the blade assembly is rapidly mixing the food in the cup, the chassis can also heat the food, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0099] Furthermore, the coupler passes through the mounting port, and the second fastener fixes the coupler to the bottom shell. In other words, the coupler is located on the side of the bottom shell away from the cup body, that is, the coupler is located at the bottom of the food processing cup, so that the coupler can be easily connected to an external circuit while the plate heats the food.

[0100] In one possible technical solution, the cutter head assembly further includes a fixing part and a fourth seal, wherein the fixing part is disposed in the bottom shell; a fixing groove is formed in the fixing part, at least part of the coupler is placed in the fixing groove, a second fastener passes through the fixing part and connects to the coupler to fix the coupler to the bottom shell, and the fourth seal is used to seal the gap between the fixing part and the coupler.

[0101] In this technical solution, the blade assembly further includes a fixing part and a fourth sealing element. Specifically, the fixing part is located inside the bottom shell and includes a fixing groove. A portion of the coupler is located within the fixing groove, and the coupler is connected to the fixing part by a second fastener, thereby fixing the coupler to the bottom shell. The chassis is connected to an external circuit through the coupler and obtains electrical energy to enable the chassis to have a heating function, i.e., the chassis is a heating plate. It can be understood that the chassis is positioned closer to the cup body than the bottom shell, and the chassis and the inner wall of the cup body form a food processing cavity. Thus, while the blade assembly of the blade assembly is rapidly blending the food in the cup, the chassis can also heat the food, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0102] Furthermore, the fourth seal is located between the fixing part and the coupler, which can seal the gap between the fixing part and the coupler, ensuring the normal operation of the blade assembly and improving the stability and reliability of the food processing cup during operation.

[0103] In practical applications, the fourth sealing element is a silicone seal.

[0104] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a food processor is provided, comprising a food processing cup as provided in any of the above-described technical solutions, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the food processing cup, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0105] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a method for assembling and disassembling a food processing cup is provided. The food processing cup includes a cup body, a blade assembly, a locking member, and a limiting member. The locking member is movably disposed on the cup body, and the limiting member is movably disposed on the cup body. The method includes: rotating the locking member to a first position to limit the engagement between the locking member and the blade assembly, and moving the limiting member along a first direction to limit the engagement between the limiting member and the locking member; and / or moving the limiting member along a second direction to disengage the limiting member and the locking member, and rotating the locking member to a second position to disengage the locking member from the blade assembly; wherein the first direction and the second direction are different.

[0106] The food processing cup provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cup body, a blade assembly, a locking component, and a limiting component. Specifically, the blade component of the blade assembly is disposed inside the cup body, and the inner surface of the blade assembly and the cup body together form an open food processing cavity. When the blade component of the blade assembly rotates at high speed, it can process the food ingredients in the food processing cavity to achieve the preparation of the food ingredients.

[0107] After processing the ingredients, the food processor in the relevant technology requires cleaning of the blending cup and blade assembly. However, the blending cup and blade assembly are fixedly connected, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and easily leads to incomplete cleaning. This can result in bacteria growing in the food processor after long-term use, affecting the safety of the prepared food and reducing the user experience.

[0108] By detachably connecting the blade assembly to the cup body, the blade assembly is connected to the cup body during food preparation. After food preparation is complete, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for separate cleaning. This allows for direct and unobstructed cleaning of all parts of the blade assembly from various angles, especially removing food residue from the corners and crevices. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures effective cleaning, and prevents bacterial growth in the cup body and blade assembly due to incomplete cleaning over long-term use, thus improving the user experience.

[0109] Furthermore, when the locking element is rotated to the first position, it engages with the blade assembly to ensure a secure fit. During food preparation, the food inside the processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, subjected to external forces, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup, influenced by this centrifugal force, is prone to rotating relative to the blade assembly. This can lead to a loose connection between the blade assembly and the cup, or even the blade assembly detaching from the cup, resulting in food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, by engaging the locking element with the blade assembly, the blade assembly and cup are locked together, ensuring the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup during food preparation. This tight connection guarantees the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0110] Furthermore, when the locking member is in the first position, the limiting component moves along the first direction, causing the limiting component to engage with the locking member. In other words, at this time, while the locking member engages with the blade assembly, it also engages with at least a portion of the limiting component on the cup body, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engaged position. Thus, it is impossible to unlock the locking member and the blade assembly by operating the locking member, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0111] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, move the limiting component in the second direction opposite to the first direction to disengage the limiting component from the locking member. At this time, rotate the locking member to the second position to unlock the locking member from the blade assembly, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively prevents the cup body and blade assembly from growing bacteria after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning, thus improving the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0112] In addition, the method for disassembling and assembling the food processing cup provided by the above-described technical solution of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0113] In the above technical solution, the limiting component further includes a limiting member and an elastic member. The two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the limiting member and the cup body. Moving the limiting component along the second direction to disengage the limiting component and the locking member specifically includes: moving the limiting member along the second direction and compressing the elastic member to disengage the limiting member and the locking member.

[0114] In this technical solution, the limiting component is defined to include a limiting member and an elastic member. Specifically, one end of the elastic member is connected to the cup body, and the other end is connected to the limiting member. The limiting member can move relative to the cup body to limit the engagement or disengagement of the limiting member and the locking member. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting member and the locking member, the locking state between the blade assembly and the locking member can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning.

[0115] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the cutter head assembly, the limiting member is first moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction so that the limiting member is disengaged from the locking member. At this time, the elastic member is compressed to store elastic potential energy. The locking member is then moved to the second position to unlock the locking member from the cutter head assembly, which makes it easier to remove the cutter head assembly from the cup body for cleaning of the cutter head assembly and the cup body separately, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0116] In practical applications, elastic elements are springs or sheet springs, etc.

[0117] It should be noted that the limiting component also includes a handle, which is connected to the limiting member, so that the limiting member can be moved in the second direction by operating the handle, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0118] It is worth noting that the locking component has a groove on the side facing the limiting component, and a part of the limiting component can be inserted into the groove so that the locking component and the limiting component are in a limiting fit.

[0119] In the above technical solution, further, the limiting component is moved along the first direction so that the limiting component and the locking component are limited to a certain position. Specifically, when the locking component is in the first position, the elastic force of the elastic component pushes the limiting component to move along the first direction so that the limiting component and the locking component are limited to a certain position.

[0120] In this technical solution, when the blade assembly needs to be installed, and the locking member rotates to the first position relative to the cup body, the locking member and the blade assembly are in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member pushes the limiting member so that the limiting member and the locking member are in a limiting engagement, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the blade assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thus achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0121] By incorporating an elastic element, the limiting element can automatically reset after movement, improving the ease of installation and disassembly of the cutter head assembly. Furthermore, when the locking element and the limiting element are engaged in a limiting action, the elastic element can maintain a certain state of compression, thereby enhancing the limiting effect between the locking and limiting elements through its elastic force.

[0122] In the above technical solution, the locking member further includes a limiting protrusion, and the food processing cup also includes a limiting groove. The limiting groove is provided on the blade assembly. Rotating the locking member to the first position so that the locking member and the blade assembly are limited and engaged specifically includes: rotating the limiting protrusion to the first position so that the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0123] In this technical solution, the locking component includes a limiting protrusion, and the food processing cup also includes a limiting groove, which is disposed on the blade assembly. When the limiting protrusion rotates relative to the cup body between a first position and a second position, it can insert into or separate from the limiting groove. Thus, by controlling whether the limiting protrusion inserts into the limiting groove, a detachable connection between the cup body and the blade assembly can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of both the cup body and the blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0124] Specifically, when the limiting protrusion is rotated to the first position, it inserts into the limiting groove to limit the blade assembly in the axial and radial directions of the cup body. In other words, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove work together to securely mount the blade assembly onto the cup body. During food preparation, the food in the food processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, under external force, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup body, affected by the centrifugal force, is prone to rotating relative to the blade assembly. This can lead to insufficient connection between the blade assembly and the cup body, or even the blade assembly detaching from the cup body, resulting in food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove work together to lock the blade assembly and the cup body together, ensuring that the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup body during food preparation. This tight connection ensures the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0125] Furthermore, when the limiting protrusion rotates to the first position, the limiting component also engages with the locking component, thereby locking the locking component and the blade assembly in the mating position. In other words, at this time, the locking component cannot be unlocked by operating the locking component, thus achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thereby improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0126] In the above technical solution, the locking member is further rotated to the second position to disengage the locking member from the cutter head assembly. Specifically, this includes rotating the limiting protrusion to the second position when the limiting assembly is disengaged from the locking member, so that the limiting protrusion separates from the limiting groove.

[0127] In this technical solution, when the blade assembly needs to be disassembled, the limiting component is first moved along the second direction so that it disengages from the locking component. Then, the limiting protrusion is rotated to the second position, separating from the limiting groove. The blade assembly can then be separated from the cup body. In other words, when the limiting protrusion disengages from the limiting groove, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for separate cleaning of both the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures cleaning effectiveness, and prevents bacteria growth in the cup body and blade assembly due to incomplete cleaning after long-term use of the food processing cup, thus improving the user experience of the food processing cup.

Detailed Implementation

[0145] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, 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 embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0146] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0147] The following reference Figures 1 to 13 This describes the assembly and disassembly methods of the food processing cup 100, the food processor, and the food processing cup according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0148] Example 1:

[0149] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a food processing cup 100, which includes: a cup body 110; a blade assembly 120 detachably connected to the cup body 110; a locking member 130 movably disposed on the cup body 110 and movable between a first position and a second position; and a limiting member 140 movably disposed on the cup body 110. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, it engages with at least a portion of the blade assembly 120 and the limiting member 140. The limiting member 140 is movable relative to the cup body 110 such that when it disengages from the locking member 130, it disengages from the blade assembly 120 when it is in the second position.

[0150] The food processing cup 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cup body 110, a blade assembly 120, a locking member 130, and a limiting member 140. Specifically, the blade assembly 127 of the blade assembly 120 is disposed inside the cup body 110. The inner surface of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 together form an open food processing cavity. When the blade assembly 127 of the blade assembly 120 rotates at high speed, it can process the food in the food processing cavity to realize the preparation of food.

[0151] The blade assembly 120 is detachably connected to the cup body 110. It is understood that the blade assembly 120 can be installed on the cup body 110 or removed from the cup body 110, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0152] After processing the ingredients, the food processor in the relevant technology needs to clean the mixing cup and blade assembly 120. However, the mixing cup and blade assembly 120 are fixedly connected, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and may lead to incomplete cleaning. This can result in bacteria growing in the food processor after long-term use, affecting the safety of the prepared food and reducing the user experience.

[0153] By detachably connecting the blade assembly 120 to the cup body 110, the blade assembly 120 is connected to the cup body 110 during food preparation. After food preparation is complete, the blade assembly 120 can be detached from the cup body 110 for cleaning. This allows for direct and unobstructed cleaning of all parts of the blade assembly 120, especially food residue left in the corners and crevices, reducing cleaning difficulty, ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and preventing bacterial growth in the cup body 110 and blade assembly 120 after long-term use due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup 100.

[0154] Furthermore, a locking member 130 is disposed on the cup body 110, and the locking member 130 is movable relative to the cup body 110 between a first position and a second position. When the locking member 130 moves between the first position and the second position, it can be engaged or disengaged from the blade assembly 120. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120, a detachable connection between the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 can be achieved, facilitating the cleaning of the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0155] When the locking member 130 is in the first position, it engages with the blade assembly 120 to securely mount the blade assembly 120 onto the cup body 110. During food preparation, the food in the food processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, under external force, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup body 110 is prone to rotation relative to the blade assembly 120 due to the centrifugal force, potentially causing insufficient connection between the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110, or even detachment of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110, leading to food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, by engaging the locking member 130 with the blade assembly 120 to lock them together, the blade assembly 120 remains relatively fixed to the cup body 110 during food preparation, ensuring a tight connection and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0156] Furthermore, the limiting component 140 is disposed on the cup body 110, and the limiting component 140 is movable relative to the cup body 110. Therefore, the locking state between the blade assembly 120 and the locking component 130 can be controlled by controlling the engagement state between the limiting component 140 and the locking component 130. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly 120 and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110 for separate cleaning of both the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures cleaning effectiveness, and effectively prevents bacteria growth in the cup body 110 and blade assembly 120 after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning.

[0157] Specifically, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, while the locking member 130 is in a limiting engagement with the blade assembly 120, it is also in a limiting engagement with at least a portion of the limiting component 140 provided on the cup body 110, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly 120, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly 120, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0158] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly 120, first operate the limiting component 140 to disengage it from the locking component 130. At this time, the locking component 130 can be moved to the second position to unlock the locking component 130 from the blade assembly 120, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110. This allows for the separate cleaning of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110, reducing cleaning difficulty, ensuring cleaning effectiveness, and effectively preventing the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 from growing bacteria after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup 100.

[0159] Example 2:

[0160] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting component 140 further includes a limiting member 141 and an elastic member 142. The first end of the elastic member 142 is connected to the cup body 110, and the second end of the elastic member 142 is connected to the limiting member 141. The limiting member 141 can move relative to the cup body 110 so that when the limiting member 141 is disengaged from the locking member 130, the locking member 130 is disengaged from the cutter head assembly 120 when the locking member 130 is in the second position, and the elastic member 142 deforms. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, the elastic member 142 can push the limiting member 141 so that the limiting member 141 is limited to the locking member 130.

[0161] In this embodiment, the limiting component 140 includes a limiting member 141 and an elastic member 142. Specifically, one end of the elastic member 142 is connected to the cup body 110, and the other end is connected to the limiting member 141. The limiting member 141 can move relative to the cup body 110 so that the limiting member 141 and the locking member 130 are engaged or disengaged. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting member 141 and the locking member 130, the locking state between the blade assembly 120 and the locking member 130 can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly 120 and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110 for cleaning of both the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning.

[0162] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly 120, the limiting member 141 is operated first, and the limiting member 141 is disengaged from the locking member 130. At this time, the elastic member 142 is compressed, and the locking member 130 is moved to the second position to unlock the locking member 130 from the blade assembly 120, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110 for cleaning of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 respectively, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0163] When the blade assembly 120 needs to be installed and the locking member 130 moves to the first position relative to the cup body 110, the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 are locked in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 142 can push the limiting member 141 so that a part of the limiting member 141 is locked in a limiting engagement with the locking member 130, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby realizing the self-locking of the blade assembly 120, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly 120, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0164] By incorporating the elastic element 142, the limiting element 141 can be automatically reset after movement, improving the ease of installation and disassembly of the cutter head assembly 120. Furthermore, when the locking element 130 engages with the limiting element 141, the elastic element 142 can maintain a certain state of compression, thereby enhancing the limiting effect between the locking element 130 and the limiting element 141 through the elastic force of the elastic element 142.

[0165] In practical applications, the elastic element 142 is a spring or a sheet, etc.

[0166] It is understandable that when the limiting member 141 is operated to disengage the limiting member 141 from the locking member 130, thereby compressing the elastic member 142, and after the locking member 130 is disengaged from the cutter head assembly 120 to remove the cutter head assembly 120 from the cup body 110, the elastic member 142 can remain in a compressed state or return to its natural state.

[0167] The elastic element 142 is kept in a compressed state. When the cutter head assembly 120 is installed and the locking element 130 is in the first position and cooperates with the cutter head assembly 120, the elastic force of the compressed elastic element 142 pushes the limiting element 141 to cooperate with the locking element 130.

[0168] If the elastic element 142 returns to its natural state, when the cutter head assembly 120 is installed and the locking element 130 is in the first position and engages with the cutter head assembly 120, the elastic element 142 is compressed again. When the limiting element 141 is moved to the target position, the elastic force of the compressed elastic element 142 pushes the limiting element 141 to engage with the locking element 130. The specific movement process can be set according to actual needs.

[0169] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting component 140 further includes a handle 143, which is connected to the limiting member 141, and at least a portion of the handle 143 is exposed outside the cup body 110.

[0170] In this embodiment, the limiting component 140 further includes a handle 143. Specifically, the handle 143 is connected to the limiting member 141, so that the limiting member 141 can be moved by operating the handle 143, thereby limiting the engagement or disengagement of the limiting member 141 and the locking member 130. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting member 141 and the locking member 130, the locking state between the blade assembly 120 and the locking member 130 can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly 120 and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110 for separate cleaning of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110, reducing cleaning difficulty, ensuring cleaning effect, and effectively preventing the problem of bacteria growth in the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning.

[0171] By providing a handle 143, the ease of operation of the limiting component 141 can be improved, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the blade assembly 120 and enhancing the user's experience with the food processor equipped with the food processing cup 100.

[0172] Furthermore, at least a portion of the handle 143 is exposed outside the cup body 110, thereby further improving the convenience for the user to operate the limit member 141 to control the engagement state of the limit member 141 and the locking member 130, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0173] In practical applications, the handle 143 and the limiting member 141 are integrated into a single structure. This integrated structure provides superior mechanical properties, thereby increasing the connection strength between the handle 143 and the limiting member 141 and ensuring that the limiting member 141 can move when the handle 143 is operated. Furthermore, the integrated structure facilitates the manufacturing of the limiting component 140, reducing its production difficulty, increasing production efficiency, and ultimately lowering the production cost of the food processing cup 100.

[0174] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the limiting component 140 further includes a protrusion 144, which is connected to the side of the limiting member 141 away from the handle 143; wherein, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, the protrusion 144 abuts against a part of the cup body 110.

[0175] In this embodiment, the limiting component 140 further includes a protrusion 144. Specifically, the protrusion 144 is connected to the side of the limiting member 141 opposite to the handle 143. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, the protrusion 144 abuts against a portion of the cup body 110, thereby preventing the limiting member 141 from moving excessively and impacting the locking member 130, thus avoiding the problem of reducing the installation stability of the locking member 130.

[0176] It is understandable that when the cutter head assembly 120 needs to be installed and the locking member 130 moves to the first position relative to the cup body 110, the locking member 130 and the cutter head assembly 120 are in a limited engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 142 can push the limiting member 141 so that a part of the limiting member 141 is in a limited engagement with the locking member 130, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the cutter head assembly 120 in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby achieving the self-locking of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0177] When the elastic member 142 pushes the limiting member 141 to make the limiting member 141 engage with the locking member 130, when the limiting member 141 moves to the point where the protrusion 144 abuts against a part of the cup body 110, the limiting member 141 can no longer move, thereby preventing the limiting member 141 from moving excessively and impacting the locking member 130, thus reducing the installation stability of the locking member 130, and further improving the installation stability and reliability of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0178] In practical applications, the protrusion 144 and the limiting member 141 are an integral structure. It is understood that an integral structure has good mechanical properties, thus improving the connection strength between the protrusion 144 and the limiting member 141, and consequently enhancing the limiting effect of the protrusion 144 on the limiting member 141. Furthermore, the integral structure facilitates the processing and production of the limiting component 140, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the limiting component 140, increasing production efficiency, and ultimately reducing the production cost of the food processing cup 100.

[0179] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cup body 110 further includes a cup body 111, a boss 114, and a limiting hole 115. The first end of the boss 114 is connected to the cup body 111, and the second end of the boss 114 extends away from the cup body 111. The limiting hole 115 is provided on the boss 114, and the limiting member 141 can move within the limiting hole 115. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, the limiting member 141 passes through the limiting hole 115 and engages with the locking member 130 in a limiting fit, and the protrusion 144 abuts against the boss 114.

[0180] In this embodiment, the cup body 110 is defined as including a cup body 111, a boss 114, and a limiting hole 115. Specifically, one end of the boss 114 is connected to the cup body 111, and the other end extends away from the cup body 111. The limiting hole 115 is provided on the boss 114, and the limiting member 141 can pass through the limiting hole 115 and move within the limiting hole 115. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, the limiting member 141 passes through the limiting hole 115 and engages with the locking member 130 in a limiting fit. The protrusion 144 abuts against the side of the boss 114 facing the elastic member 142, thereby preventing the limiting member 141 from moving excessively and impacting the locking member 130, thus reducing the installation stability of the locking member 130.

[0181] It is understandable that when the cutter head assembly 120 needs to be installed and the locking member 130 moves to the first position relative to the cup body 110, the locking member 130 and the cutter head assembly 120 are in a limited engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 142 can push the limiting member 141 so that a part of the limiting member 141 is in a limited engagement with the locking member 130, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the cutter head assembly 120 in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby achieving the self-locking of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0182] When the elastic member 142 pushes the limiting member 141, and the limiting member 141 passes through the limiting hole 115 to limit the engagement of the limiting member 141 with the locking member 130, when the limiting member 141 moves to the point where the protrusion 144 abuts against the boss 114, the limiting member 141 can no longer move, thereby preventing the limiting member 141 from moving excessively and impacting the locking member 130, thus reducing the problem of the installation stability of the locking member 130, and further improving the installation stability and reliability of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0183] Example 3:

[0184] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cup body 110 further includes a cup seat 112 and a first sealing member 113. The cup seat 112 is connected to the cup body 111, the locking member 130 is disposed on the cup seat 112, and the first sealing member 113 is disposed on the cup seat 112. The first sealing member 113 is used to seal the gap between the cutter disc assembly 120 and the cup body 111, and to seal the gap between the bottom opening end of the cup body 111 and the cup seat 112.

[0185] In this embodiment, the cup body 110 is further defined as including a cup seat 112 and a first sealing member 113. Specifically, a locking member 130 is provided on the cup seat 112. Therefore, the mating position between the cutter disc assembly 120 and the cup body 110 is located on the cup seat 112. The cup seat 112 can be limited or released from the cutter disc assembly 120 by the locking member 130, so that the cutter disc assembly 120 can be installed on the cup body 110 or removed from the cup body 110.

[0186] The cup body 111 and the cup holder 112 are connected by threads or snaps, meaning that the cup body 111 and the cup holder 112 are detachably connected. This facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the cup holder 112 and the cup body 111, further reducing the difficulty of cleaning the food processing cup 100 and improving the cleaning effect of the food processing cup 100.

[0187] Furthermore, a first sealing element 113 is also provided on the cup holder 112. Specifically, the first sealing element 113 can seal the gap between the cutter disc assembly 120 and the cup body 111, as well as the gap between the cup holder 112 and the cup body 111. This can further prevent liquid in the cup body 110 from entering the interior of the cutter disc assembly 120 or leaking to the outside of the cup body 110 through the gap between the cutter disc assembly 120 and the cup body 111, as well as the gap between the cup holder 112 and the cup body 111, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0188] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the food processing cup 100 further includes a mounting groove 150, which is disposed on the cup base 112. The opening of the mounting groove 150 is disposed facing the limiting component 140. At least a portion of the limiting component 140 is located within the mounting groove 150 and is able to move within the mounting groove 150.

[0189] In this embodiment, the food processing cup 100 further includes a mounting groove 150. Specifically, the mounting groove 150 is disposed on the cup holder 112, and the opening of the mounting groove 150 faces the limiting component 140. At least a portion of the limiting component 140 is located within the mounting groove 150, and the limiting component 140 is capable of moving within the mounting groove 150. By providing the mounting groove 150, on the one hand, installation space is provided for the limiting component 140; on the other hand, the movement trajectory of the limiting component 140 is limited, ensuring that the limiting component 140 can be limited or released from the locking member 130 during its movement relative to the mounting groove 150. This improves the convenience of installing or disassembling the blade assembly 120 and enhances the user experience.

[0190] Example 4:

[0191] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, based on any of the above embodiments, the locking member 130 further includes a locking body 131 and a limiting part 132, wherein the locking body 131 is rotatably disposed on the cup body 110, and the limiting part 132 is disposed on the locking body 131; when the locking member 130 is in the first position, the limiting part 132 and the limiting member 141 are engaged in a limiting cooperation.

[0192] In this embodiment, the locking member 130 is defined to include a locking body 131 and a limiting part 132. Specifically, the locking body 131 is rotatably disposed on the cup body 110, and the limiting part 132 is disposed on the locking body 131. It is understood that when the locking body 131 rotates relative to the cup body 110, it can drive the limiting part 132 to rotate relative to the cup body 110.

[0193] Specifically, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, the limiting part 132 and the limiting member 141 engage in a limiting cooperation, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the cutter disc assembly 120 in the cooperating position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 and the cutter disc assembly 120 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby realizing the self-locking of the cutter disc assembly 120, further improving the installation stability of the cutter disc assembly 120, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0194] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly 120, first operate the limiting member 141 through the handle 143 to disengage the limiting member 141 from the limiting part 132. At this time, the locking member 130 can be moved to the second position to unlock the locking member 130 from the blade assembly 120, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110. This allows for the separate cleaning of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect, and effectively preventing the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 from growing bacteria after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup 100.

[0195] In practical applications, the limiting part 132 can be a groove, that is, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, a part of the limiting member 141 can be inserted into the groove, so as to realize the self-locking of the cutter head assembly 120 by the limiting of the groove and the limiting member 141, thereby improving the installation stability of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0196] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the limiting portion 132 is further defined as a groove; when the locking member 130 is in the first position, a portion of the limiting member 141 is inserted into the groove.

[0197] In this embodiment, the limiting part 132 is defined as a groove. Specifically, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, a portion of the limiting member 141 is inserted into the groove, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 in the mating position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly 120, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly 120, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0198] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly 120, first operate the limiting member 141 through the handle 143 and disengage the limiting member 141 from the groove. At this time, the locking member 130 can be moved to the second position to unlock the locking member 130 from the blade assembly 120, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly 120 from the cup body 110. This allows for the separate cleaning of the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect, and effectively preventing the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 from growing bacteria after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning. This improves the user experience of the food processing cup 100.

[0199] Example 5:

[0200] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the locking member 130 further includes a limiting protrusion 133, which is connected to the locking body 131; the food processing cup 100 also includes a limiting groove 160, which is disposed on the blade assembly 120; wherein, when the locking member 130 is in the first position, the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 are engaged in a limiting cooperation; when the locking member 130 is in the second position, the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 are separated.

[0201] In this embodiment, the locking member 130 is further defined as including a limiting protrusion 133. Specifically, the limiting protrusion 133 is connected to the locking body 131. When the locking body 131 rotates relative to the cup body 110, it can drive the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate relative to the cup body 110.

[0202] Furthermore, the food processing cup 100 also includes a limiting groove 160, specifically, the limiting groove 160 is disposed on the blade assembly 120. When the locking body 131 drives the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate relative to the cup body 110 between a first position and a second position, the limiting protrusion 133 can engage or disengage with the limiting groove 160. Thus, by controlling the engagement state of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160, a detachable connection between the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0203] Specifically, when the locking body 131 drives the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate to the first position, the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 cooperate with each other to limit the blade assembly 120 in the axial and radial directions of the cup body 110. That is, through the limiting cooperation of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160, the blade assembly 120 is securely installed on the cup body 110. Since the food preparation process often requires cutting, grinding or stirring the food in the food processing chamber, the food will rotate in the food processing chamber and generate centrifugal force under the action of external force. Under this situation, the cup body 110 is easily rotated relative to the blade assembly 120 due to the centrifugal force of the food, which may cause the connection between the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 to be not tight enough or even cause the blade assembly 120 to detach from the cup body 110, thereby causing food leakage and even posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, by using the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 to limit each other, the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 are locked together, so that the blade assembly 120 remains relatively fixed with the cup body 110 during the food preparation process, and the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 are tightly connected, ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0204] Furthermore, when the locking body 131 drives the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate to the first position, the limiting member 141 also engages with the limiting part 132 to limit the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120, thereby locking the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 in the engaging position. That is, at this time, the locking member 130 and the blade assembly 120 cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member 130, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly 120, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly 120, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0205] When the limiting member 141 and the locking member 130 are unlocked, and the locking body 131 drives the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate to the second position, the limiting protrusion 133 disengages from the limiting groove 160, and the blade assembly 120 can be separated from the cup body 110. In other words, when the limiting protrusion 133 is disengaged from the limiting groove 160, the blade assembly 120 can be removed from the cup body 110 to clean the blade assembly 120 and the cup body 110 separately, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, ensuring the cleaning effect, and avoiding the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 after long-term use of the food processing cup 100 due to incomplete cleaning, thus improving the user's experience of using the food processing cup 100.

[0206] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the locking member 130 further includes a gripping part 134, which is connected to the locking body 131. The gripping part 134 can be pushed to drive the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate between the first position and the second position.

[0207] In this embodiment, the locking member 130 further includes a gripping part 134. Specifically, the gripping part 134 is connected to the locking body 131. It is understood that when the user operates the gripping part 134, the gripping part 134 can drive the limiting protrusion 133 to rotate between a first position and a second position via the locking body 131, thereby enabling the limiting protrusion 133 to engage or disengage with the limiting groove 160. Furthermore, by controlling the engagement state of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160, a detachable connection between the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of the cup body 110 and the blade assembly 120 while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0208] It is understandable that when the user operates the grip 134, the grip 134 can drive the limiting part 132 to rotate relative to the cup body 110 through the locking body 131. Specifically, when the grip 134 drives the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting part 132 to the first position through the locking body 131, the limiting protrusion 133 is engaged with the limiting groove 160. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 142 pushes the limiting member 141 to engage with the limiting part 132.

[0209] In practical applications, the gripping part 134 and the locking body 131 are integrated into one structure. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0210] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, based on the above embodiment, the food processing cup 100 further includes an avoidance notch and a rotating shaft 170. The avoidance notch is provided on the cup body 110, and the grip portion 134 is exposed on the cup body 110 through the avoidance notch. The rotating shaft 170 is provided on the cup body 110 and is located at the avoidance notch. The locking member 130 rotates around the rotating shaft 170. When the locking member 130 is in the first position, the locking member 130 can fill the avoidance notch.

[0211] In this embodiment, the food processing cup 100 is further defined as having an avoidance notch and a pivot 170. Specifically, the cup body 110 is provided with an avoidance notch, and the grip part 134 is exposed on the cup body 110 through the avoidance notch, so that the user can easily rotate the locking body 131 by operating the grip part 134, thereby rotating the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting part 132.

[0212] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 170 is disposed on the cup body 110, and the locking body 131 rotates around the rotating shaft 170. That is, the locking body 131 includes a connecting part with a connecting hole. The rotating shaft 170 passes through the connecting hole and is rotatably connected to the cup body 110, so that the locking body 131 can rotate around the rotating shaft 170 under the drive of the gripping part 134, thereby driving the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting part 132 to rotate.

[0213] Furthermore, when the grip 134 drives the locking body 131 to rotate so that the limiting protrusion 133 is in the first position, the locking member 130 can fill the clearance gap, thereby making the outer wall of the locking member 130 and the outer wall of the cup body 110 form a complete side wall, thereby improving the appearance of the food processing cup 100 and further enhancing the user experience.

[0214] In one specific embodiment, further, along the axial direction of the cutter head assembly 120, the rotation axis 170 line of the rotating shaft 170 is higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160.

[0215] In this embodiment, the rotation axis 170 of the rotating shaft 170 is defined to be higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 along the axial direction of the cutter head assembly 120. That is, the distance between the rotating shaft 170 and the opening of the cup body 110 is less than the distance between the mating position of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 and the opening of the cup body 110. In other words, along the axial direction of the cup body 110, the position of the rotating shaft 170 is higher than the mating position of the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160, thereby enabling the locking member 130 to support the cutter head assembly 120 along the axial direction of the cup body 110, further ensuring the installation stability between the cutter head assembly 120 and the cup body 110.

[0216] Example 6:

[0217] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a chassis 121, a bottom shell 122, and a second sealing member 123. The bottom shell 122 is located on the side of the chassis 121 away from the cup body 110 and is connected to the chassis 121. A limiting groove 160 is provided on the bottom shell 122. The second sealing member 123 is provided between the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122 to seal the gap between the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122.

[0218] In this embodiment, the cutter head assembly 120 is defined as including a chassis 121, a bottom shell 122, and a second seal 123. Specifically, the bottom shell 122 is connected to the chassis 121. It is understood that a receiving cavity can be formed between the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122. The receiving cavity can be used to place other components of the cutter head assembly 120, providing installation space for the installation of other components of the cutter head assembly 120.

[0219] In practical applications, the base 121 can be a heating plate. It is understood that the base 121 is positioned closer to the cup body 110 than the bottom shell 122, and the base 121 and the inner wall of the cup body 110 form a food processing cavity. Thus, while the blade assembly 127 of the blade assembly 120 is rapidly mixing the food in the cup body 110, the base 121 can also heat the food, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0220] Furthermore, the blade assembly 120 also includes a second seal 123. Specifically, the second seal 123 is disposed between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122, sealing the gap between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122 to prevent liquid from the cup body 110 from seeping into the space between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122. It is understood that if the base 121 is a heating plate, a heating element for heating the heating plate is also provided in the cavity between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122. Liquid seepage between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122 can easily cause a short circuit in the heating element, reducing its service life. By providing the second seal 123, the service life of the circuit components inside the food processing cup 100 can be extended while preventing liquid from seeping into the space between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122.

[0221] The limiting groove 160 is provided on the bottom shell 122. Since the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122 are connected, the blade assembly 120 can be securely installed on the cup body 110 when the limiting protrusion 133 and the limiting groove 160 are in a limiting engagement.

[0222] In practical applications, the second seal 123 can be a silicone seal.

[0223] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the food processing cup 100 further includes a support portion, which protrudes from the inner sidewall of the cup holder 112, and the first sealing member 113 is sleeved on the support portion; the first sidewall of the support portion can support the bottom opening end of the cup body 111, and the second sidewall of the support portion can limit the base 121.

[0224] In this embodiment, the food processing cup 100 further includes a support portion. Specifically, the support portion protrudes from the inner wall of the cup holder 112, meaning it protrudes into the inner wall of the cup holder 112. By providing the support portion, the cup body 111 can be supported while the base 121 is limited, ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor's operation.

[0225] Specifically, since the cup holder 112 is connected to the blade assembly 120 while the cup body 111 is connected to the cup holder 112, there may be a certain gap between the cup body 111 and the blade assembly 120. By setting the first sealing element 113, the connection between the three can be sealed. A protruding support part is provided on the inner side wall of the cup holder 112, and the first sealing element 113 is sleeved on the support part. The first side wall of the support part near the cup body 110 abuts against the bottom opening end of the cup body 111 through the first sealing element 113, thereby supporting the cup body 111 and ensuring the installation stability and reliability of the cup body 110 during the food processing process.

[0226] The second side wall of the support near the chassis 121 abuts against the chassis 121 through the first seal 113, thereby limiting the chassis 121 in the radial direction of the cup body 110, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly 120, and thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the food processor operation, and improving the user's experience of using the food processor.

[0227] In practical applications, the support and the cup holder 112 can be an integral structure. It is understood that an integral structure has good mechanical properties, thus improving the connection strength between the support and the cup holder 112, ensuring the support of the support for the cup body 111 and its limiting effect on the chassis 121. Furthermore, the integral structure facilitates manufacturing, thus reducing the processing difficulty of the cup body 110, increasing the production efficiency of the cup body 110, and consequently reducing the production cost of the cup body 110 and the food processing cup 100, thereby reducing the production cost of the food processing machine.

[0228] Furthermore, during the connection process between the cup body 111 and the cup holder 112, the cup body 111 may extend too far into the cup holder 112, affecting the connection between the blade assembly 120 and the cup holder 112, and thus affecting the use of the food processing cup 100. The first side wall of the support portion, while supporting the cup body 111, can limit the cup body 111 during the installation of the cup body 110, preventing the cup body 111 from touching the blade assembly 120 or affecting the operation of the blade assembly 120.

[0229] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a mounting hole, a through hole 124 and a first fastener 125, wherein the mounting hole is provided in the chassis 121, the through hole 124 is provided in the bottom shell 122, and the first fastener 125 passes through the through hole 124 and the mounting hole to fix the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122 together.

[0230] In this embodiment, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes mounting holes, through holes 124, and a first fastener 125. Specifically, the mounting holes are located on the chassis 121, and the through holes 124 are located on the bottom shell 122. It is understood that the mounting holes and through holes 124 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. The first fastener 125 passes through the through holes 124 and the mounting holes respectively to connect the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122, ensuring the connection effect between the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0231] In practical applications, the mounting hole can be provided with internal threads, and the first fastener 125 can be a screw that mates with the internal threads of the mounting hole. The screw passes through the through hole 124, is screwed into the mounting hole, and tightened, which can fix the chassis 121 onto the bottom shell 122. The specific settings can be configured according to actual needs.

[0232] It should be noted that there are multiple mounting holes and through holes 124 in a one-to-one correspondence, which can improve the connection between the chassis 121 and the bottom shell 122, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0233] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, based on the above embodiment, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a first mounting member 126, a cutter assembly 127, a cutter shaft 128, and a third sealing member 129. The first mounting member 126 is disposed on the chassis 121 and extends toward the bottom shell 122. The first mounting member 126 is constructed with a cavity structure. The cutter assembly 127 is located on the side of the chassis 121 away from the bottom shell 122. The cutter shaft 128 passes through the chassis 121 and is connected to the cutter assembly 127. The cutter shaft 128 is placed in the cavity. The third sealing member 129 is disposed between the first mounting member 126 and the bottom shell 122 to seal the gap between the first mounting member 126 and the bottom shell 122.

[0234] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 120 further includes a first mounting member 126, a blade assembly 127, a blade shaft 128, and a third sealing member 129. Specifically, the first mounting member 126 is disposed on the chassis 121 and extends towards the bottom shell 122. The first mounting member 126 has a cavity, a portion of the blade shaft 128 is located in the cavity, and another portion of the blade shaft 128 extends out of the cavity towards the side where the cup body 110 is located. The blade assembly 127 is connected to the portion of the blade shaft 128 that extends out of the cavity. It is understood that the blade shaft 128 can rotate at high speed under the drive of the drive member of the food processing cup 100. The high-speed rotation of the blade shaft 128 can drive the blade assembly 127 to rotate at high speed within the cup body 110 to process the food inside the cup body 110.

[0235] In practical applications, a bearing is also installed inside the cavity. The bearing is sleeved on the outside of the cutter shaft 128 to support the cutter shaft 128 and ensure that the cutter shaft 128 can rotate normally. At the same time, it can also extend the service life of the cutter shaft 128. The specific number of bearings can be set according to actual needs.

[0236] Furthermore, the blade assembly 120 also includes a third seal 129, located between the first mounting member 126 and the base 121. The third seal 129 seals the gap between the first mounting member 126 and the bottom shell 122, thereby further preventing liquid from the cup body 110 from seeping into the space between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122. It is understood that if the base 121 is a heating plate, a heating element for heating the heating plate is also provided in the cavity between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122. Liquid seepage between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122 can easily cause a short circuit in the heating element, reducing its service life. By providing the third seal 129, the service life of the circuit components inside the food processing cup 100 can be extended while preventing liquid from seeping into the space between the base 121 and the bottom shell 122.

[0237] Based on the above embodiments, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a transmission component, which is disposed at the end of the cutter shaft 128 that extends out of the bottom shell 122.

[0238] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 120 further includes a transmission component. Specifically, the transmission component is located at the end of the blade shaft 128 that extends out of the bottom shell 122. That is, the first end of the blade shaft 128 is connected to the blade assembly 127, and the second end of the blade shaft 128 is connected to the transmission component. It is understood that the transmission component can drive the blade shaft 128 to rotate at high speed, and the high-speed rotation of the blade shaft 128 can drive the blade assembly 127 to rotate at high speed within the cup body 110 to process the food inside the cup body 110.

[0239] In addition, the end of the cutter shaft 128 connected to the transmission component extends out of the bottom shell 122, which facilitates the connection between the transmission component and the drive component to achieve high-speed drive of the cutter shaft 128.

[0240] In practical applications, the drive unit can be mounted on the base of the food processor. When the food processing cup 100 is installed on the base, the drive unit can be connected to the transmission unit, so that under the drive unit's influence, the transmission unit can drive the blade assembly 127 to rotate at high speed within the cup body 110 via the blade shaft 128. When the food processing cup 100 is removed from the base of the food processor, the transmission unit and the drive unit are disengaged. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0241] It should be noted that transmission components can include various transmission methods, such as gear transmission and shaft transmission. The specific configuration can be determined based on actual needs.

[0242] Based on the above embodiments, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a mounting port, a coupler, and a second fastener. The mounting port is located on the bottom shell 122, the coupler passes through the mounting port and is mounted on the bottom shell 122, and the second fastener is used to fix the coupler to the bottom shell 122.

[0243] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 120 is further defined as including a mounting port, a coupler, and a second fastener. Specifically, the bottom shell 122 is provided with a mounting port, and the chassis 121 is connected to an external circuit through the coupler to obtain electrical energy so that the chassis 121 has a heating function, that is, the chassis 121 is a heating plate. It is understood that the chassis 121 is located closer to the cup body 110 than the bottom shell 122, and the chassis 121 and the inner wall of the cup body 110 form a food processing cavity. Thus, while the blade assembly 127 of the blade assembly 120 is rapidly mixing the food in the cup body 110, the chassis 121 can also heat the food, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0244] Furthermore, the coupler passes through the mounting port, and the second fastener fixes the coupler to the bottom shell 122. That is, the coupler is located on the side of the bottom shell 122 away from the cup body 110, i.e., the coupler is located at the bottom of the food processing cup 100, so that while the base 121 heats the food, it is easy for the coupler to be connected to an external circuit.

[0245] Based on the above embodiments, the cutter head assembly 120 further includes a fixing part and a fourth sealing member, wherein the fixing part is disposed in the bottom shell 122; a fixing groove is formed in the fixing part, at least part of the coupler is placed in the fixing groove, a second fastener passes through the fixing part and connects to the coupler to fix the coupler to the bottom shell 122, and the fourth sealing member is used to seal the gap between the fixing part and the coupler.

[0246] In this embodiment, the blade assembly 120 further includes a fixing part and a fourth sealing member. Specifically, the fixing part is disposed within the bottom shell 122 and includes a fixing groove. A portion of the coupler is located within the fixing groove, and the coupler is connected to the fixing part by a second fastener, thereby fixing the coupler to the bottom shell 122. The chassis 121 is connected to an external circuit through the coupler and obtains electrical energy to enable the chassis 121 to have a heating function, i.e., the chassis 121 is a heating plate. It is understood that the chassis 121 is positioned closer to the cup body 110 than the bottom shell 122, and the chassis 121 and the inner wall of the cup body 110 form a food processing cavity. Thus, while the blade assembly 127 of the blade assembly 120 is rapidly mixing the food in the cup body 110, the chassis 121 can also heat the food, simplifying the food preparation steps and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0247] Furthermore, the fourth seal is located between the fixing part and the coupler, which can seal the gap between the fixing part and the coupler, ensuring the normal operation of the blade assembly 120 and improving the stability and reliability of the food processing cup 100 during operation.

[0248] In practical applications, the fourth sealing element is a silicone seal.

[0249] Example 7:

[0250] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a food processor is provided, comprising a food processing cup 100 as provided in any of the above embodiments, and thus possessing all the beneficial technical effects of the food processing cup 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0251] Example 8:

[0252] like Figure 9As shown, according to an embodiment of a third aspect of the present invention, a method for assembling and disassembling a food processing cup is provided. The food processing cup includes a cup body, a blade assembly, a locking member, and a limiting member. The locking member is movably disposed on the cup body, and the limiting member is movably disposed on the cup body. The method for assembling and disassembling includes:

[0253] Step 102: Rotate the locking member to the first position so that the locking member and the cutter head assembly are in a limiting engagement;

[0254] Step 104: Move the limiting component along the first direction so that the limiting component engages with the locking component.

[0255] Step 106: Move the limiting component along the second direction to disengage the limiting component from the locking element;

[0256] Step 108: Rotate the locking member to the second position to disengage the locking member from the cutter head assembly.

[0257] The food processing cup provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a cup body, a blade assembly, a locking component, and a limiting component. Specifically, the blade component of the blade assembly is disposed inside the cup body, and the inner surface of the blade assembly and the cup body together form an open food processing cavity. When the blade component of the blade assembly rotates at high speed, it can process the food ingredients in the food processing cavity to achieve the preparation of the food ingredients.

[0258] After processing the ingredients, the food processor in the relevant technology requires cleaning of the blending cup and blade assembly. However, the blending cup and blade assembly are fixedly connected, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and easily leads to incomplete cleaning. This can result in bacteria growing in the food processor after long-term use, affecting the safety of the prepared food and reducing the user experience.

[0259] By detachably connecting the blade assembly to the cup body, the blade assembly is connected to the cup body during food preparation. After food preparation is complete, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for separate cleaning. This allows for direct and unobstructed cleaning of all parts of the blade assembly from various angles, especially removing food residue from the corners and crevices. This reduces cleaning difficulty, ensures effective cleaning, and prevents bacterial growth in the cup body and blade assembly due to incomplete cleaning over long-term use, thus improving the user experience.

[0260] Furthermore, when the locking element is rotated to the first position, it engages with the blade assembly to ensure a secure fit. During food preparation, the food inside the processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, subjected to external forces, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup, influenced by this centrifugal force, is prone to rotating relative to the blade assembly. This can lead to a loose connection between the blade assembly and the cup, or even the blade assembly detaching from the cup, resulting in food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, by engaging the locking element with the blade assembly, the blade assembly and cup are locked together, ensuring the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup during food preparation. This tight connection guarantees the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0261] Furthermore, when the locking member is in the first position, the limiting component moves along the first direction, causing the limiting component to engage with the locking member. In other words, at this time, while the locking member engages with the blade assembly, it also engages with at least a portion of the limiting component on the cup body, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engaged position. Thus, it is impossible to unlock the locking member and the blade assembly by operating the locking member, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0262] When it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, move the limiting component in the second direction opposite to the first direction to disengage the limiting component from the locking member. At this time, rotate the locking member to the second position to unlock the locking member from the blade assembly, thereby facilitating the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively prevents the cup body and blade assembly from growing bacteria after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning, thus improving the user experience of the food processing cup.

[0263] Example 9:

[0264] like Figure 10 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, step 106 specifically includes:

[0265] Step 202: Move the limiting member along the second direction and compress the elastic member so that the limiting member disengages from the locking member.

[0266] In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting member and an elastic member. Specifically, one end of the elastic member is connected to the cup body, and the other end is connected to the limiting member. The limiting member can move relative to the cup body to limit the engagement or disengagement of the limiting member and the locking member. Thus, by controlling the engagement state between the limiting member and the locking member, the locking state between the blade assembly and the locking member can be controlled. This improves the installation stability of the blade assembly and facilitates the removal of the blade assembly from the cup body for separate cleaning of the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and effectively avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning.

[0267] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the cutter head assembly, the limiting member is first moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction so that the limiting member is disengaged from the locking member. At this time, the elastic member is compressed to store elastic potential energy. The locking member is then moved to the second position to unlock the locking member from the cutter head assembly, which makes it easier to remove the cutter head assembly from the cup body for cleaning of the cutter head assembly and the cup body separately, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0268] In practical applications, elastic elements are springs or sheet springs, etc.

[0269] It should be noted that the limiting component also includes a handle, which is connected to the limiting member, so that the limiting member can be moved in the second direction by operating the handle, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0270] It is worth noting that the locking component has a groove on the side facing the limiting component, and a part of the limiting component can be inserted into the groove so that the locking component and the limiting component are in a limiting fit.

[0271] Example 10:

[0272] like Figure 11 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, step 104 specifically includes:

[0273] Step 302: When the locking member is in the first position, the elastic force of the elastic member pushes the limiting member to move along the first direction so that the limiting member and the locking member are in a limiting engagement.

[0274] In this embodiment, when the blade assembly needs to be installed, and the locking member rotates relative to the cup body to the first position, the locking member and the blade assembly are in a limiting engagement. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member pushes the limiting member so that the limiting member and the locking member are in a limiting engagement, thereby locking the locking member and the blade assembly in the engagement position. That is, at this time, the locking member and the blade assembly cannot be unlocked by operating the locking member, thereby achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thus improving the reliability of the food processor with the food processing cup during operation.

[0275] By incorporating an elastic element, the limiting element can automatically reset after movement, improving the ease of installation and disassembly of the cutter head assembly. Furthermore, when the locking element and the limiting element are engaged in a limiting action, the elastic element can maintain a certain state of compression, thereby enhancing the limiting effect between the locking and limiting elements through its elastic force.

[0276] Example 11:

[0277] like Figure 12 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, step 102 specifically includes:

[0278] Step 402: Rotate the limiting protrusion to the first position so that the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0279] In this embodiment, the locking element includes a limiting protrusion, and the food processing cup also includes a limiting groove disposed on the blade assembly. When the limiting protrusion rotates relative to the cup body between a first position and a second position, it can insert into or separate from the limiting groove. Thus, by controlling whether the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove, a detachable connection between the cup body and the blade assembly can be achieved, facilitating cleaning of both the cup body and the blade assembly while ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.

[0280] Specifically, when the limiting protrusion is rotated to the first position, it inserts into the limiting groove to limit the blade assembly in the axial and radial directions of the cup body. In other words, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove work together to securely mount the blade assembly onto the cup body. During food preparation, the food in the food processing chamber is often cut, ground, or stirred. The food, under external force, rotates within the chamber, generating centrifugal force. In this situation, the cup body, affected by the centrifugal force, is prone to rotating relative to the blade assembly. This can lead to insufficient connection between the blade assembly and the cup body, or even the blade assembly detaching from the cup body, resulting in food leakage and potentially posing a danger to the operator. Therefore, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove work together to lock the blade assembly and the cup body together, ensuring that the blade assembly remains relatively fixed to the cup body during food preparation. This tight connection ensures the stability and reliability of the food processor during operation.

[0281] Furthermore, when the limiting protrusion rotates to the first position, the limiting component also engages with the locking component, thereby locking the locking component and the blade assembly in the mating position. In other words, at this time, the locking component cannot be unlocked by operating the locking component, thus achieving self-locking of the blade assembly, further improving the installation stability of the blade assembly, and thereby improving the reliability of the food processor with this food processing cup during operation.

[0282] Example 12:

[0283] like Figure 13 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, step 108 specifically includes:

[0284] Step 502: With the limiting component and the locking component disengaged, rotate the limiting protrusion to the second position so that the limiting protrusion separates from the limiting groove.

[0285] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to disassemble the blade assembly, the limiting component is first moved along the second direction so that the limiting component is disengaged from the locking component. Then, the limiting protrusion is rotated to the second position, and the limiting protrusion separates from the limiting groove. The blade assembly can then be separated from the cup body. In other words, when the limiting protrusion is disengaged from the limiting groove, the blade assembly can be removed from the cup body for cleaning of both the blade assembly and the cup body. This reduces the difficulty of cleaning, ensures the cleaning effect, and avoids the problem of bacteria growing in the cup body and blade assembly after long-term use of the food processing cup due to incomplete cleaning, thereby improving the user's experience with the food processing cup.
