Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, and more specifically, to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, food processors can perform automatic cleaning. During the automatic cleaning process, the food processor's food processing chamber is cleaned, and then the wastewater from cleaning the food processing chamber is discharged into a wastewater cup.

[0003] However, existing wastewater receiving solutions generally involve manually collecting wastewater / changing the wastewater cup. During the operation of the food processor, users need to manually change the wastewater cup, which is inconvenient for users and also poses a possibility of wastewater spillage, thus failing to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the first aspect of this application is to propose a food processor.

[0006] In view of the above, according to the first aspect of this application, a food processor is provided, including a main unit and a wastewater cup. The main unit is provided with a mixing chamber, and the wastewater cup is located on one side of the mixing chamber. The wastewater cup is able to communicate with the mixing chamber, and the capacity D of the wastewater cup is greater than or equal to the sum of L and M. The food processor has two working modes: a self-cleaning mode and a pre-treatment mode. L is the water consumption of the food processor in the self-cleaning mode, and M is the water consumption of the food processor in the pre-treatment mode.

[0007] The food processor provided in this application includes a main unit and a wastewater cup. The main unit has a mixing chamber for holding ingredients, which can be cooked inside the mixing chamber.

[0008] The wastewater cup is located on one side of the mixing chamber and can be connected to it. Alternatively, the wastewater cup can be disconnected from the mixing chamber, depending on the different operating modes of the food processor. Optionally, the wastewater cup can be located at the bottom of the mixing chamber, allowing the liquid inside to flow smoothly to it under gravity. Alternatively, the wastewater cup can be located at the top, left, right, front, or rear of the mixing chamber. In this case, the liquid inside the mixing chamber may have difficulty flowing to the wastewater cup under gravity. A pumping component can be installed between the mixing chamber and the wastewater cup, thus allowing for more flexible placement of their relative positions.

[0009] For food processors, their operating modes include at least a self-cleaning mode and a pre-treatment mode.

[0010] When the food processor is in self-cleaning mode, the mixing chamber of the food processor generates wastewater for cleaning the mixing chamber. At this time, the water consumption L of the food processor is the amount of wastewater used to clean the mixing chamber, which can also be understood as the amount of self-cleaning wastewater.

[0011] When the food processor is in pre-processing mode, the blending chamber contains the ingredients, and the water volume M is used for pre-processing the ingredients. This can also be understood as pre-processing wastewater, such as washing and soaking the ingredients. It's worth noting that pre-processing not only improves cooking results but also dissolves harmful substances in the ingredients in the pre-processed wastewater, meeting the user's health needs.

[0012] For example, when using a blender to make soy milk, soybeans can be soaked in water for 30 minutes first. During soaking, the purines in the soybeans dissolve in the water to form pre-treated wastewater, which is then discharged into a wastewater cup. Next, clean water is added for blending, effectively reducing the purine content of the beverage and producing low-purine soy milk, thus meeting the needs of gout patients.

[0013] The wastewater cup in this application has a capacity D that can meet the one-time collection of wastewater from the food processor in different working modes, realizing the food processor's full automation. The operation is simple and reliable, and there is no need for the user to manually replace the wastewater cup, nor is there any possibility of wastewater spillage.

[0014] Optionally, the food processor includes a high-speed blender.

[0015] Optionally, the maximum capacity D of the wastewater cup is 1500ml, the maximum water consumption L of the blender is 780ml in self-cleaning mode, and the maximum water consumption M of the blender is 500ml in pre-treatment mode.

[0016] In one possible technical solution, the capacity D of the wastewater cup is further greater than or equal to the sum of the water consumption L of the food processor in self-cleaning mode, the water consumption M of the food processor in pre-treatment mode, and the first safety margin N1.

[0017] In this technical solution, the capacity D of the wastewater cup is not only greater than or equal to the water consumption L of the food processor in self-cleaning mode and the water consumption M of the food processor in pre-treatment mode, but also takes into account that the wastewater in the wastewater cup is not easy to spill and is convenient for users to take out. The capacity D of the wastewater cup is also set with a first safety margin N1, that is, D≥L+M+N1, so as to ensure that the wastewater cup can effectively collect the wastewater generated by the food processor in different working modes.

[0018] Optionally, the first safety margin N1 is 100 ml.

[0019] Optionally, the capacity D of the wastewater cup is greater than or equal to 1380 ml.

[0020] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a receiving cup that is connected to the mixing chamber. The capacity C of the receiving cup is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the second safety margin N2. The food processor's working mode also includes a pulping mode, where K is the working capacity of the food processor in pulping mode.

[0021] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a receiving cup. The connection between the receiving cup and the blending chamber varies depending on the food processor's operating mode. The food processor's operating modes include a blending mode, a pre-treatment mode, a blending mode, and a self-cleaning mode, performed sequentially. In blending mode, the receiving cup is connected to the blending chamber and is used to receive the slurry from the blending chamber. This application ensures that C ≥ K + N2, thereby enabling the receiving cup to collect the slurry from the blending chamber in one go, eliminating the need to replace the receiving cup during the slurry collection process and thus preventing interruption of slurry discharge. Simultaneously, considering the possibility of slurry spillage due to shaking when the user handles the receiving cup, a second safety margin N2 is set for the capacity C of the receiving cup.

[0022] Optionally, the second safety margin N2 is 100 ml.

[0023] Optionally, the blender's working capacity K in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0024] It is worth noting that the working capacity K of the food processor in the pulping mode includes the volume of the pulp formed by the ingredients being blended, pulverized, and mixed evenly with water.

[0025] Optionally, the capacity C of the receiving cup is greater than or equal to 1400ml, where C≥K+N2.

[0026] Optionally, the maximum capacity C of the receiving cup is 1500ml.

[0027] In one possible technical solution, the capacity B of the mixing chamber is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the third safety margin N3, wherein the working mode of the food processor also includes a pulping mode, and K is the working capacity of the food processor in the pulping mode.

[0028] In this technical solution, the capacity B of the mixing chamber is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the third safety margin N3, so that the capacity of the mixing chamber meets the pulping requirements. At the same time, the third safety margin N3 is set to prevent the pulp from overflowing from the mixing chamber during the pulping process.

[0029] The food processor's operating modes also include a pureeing mode, where K represents the processor's capacity in pureeing mode. It's worth noting that the pureeing capacity K includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0030] Optionally, when B≥K+N3, the capacity B of the stirring chamber is greater than or equal to 1400ml.

[0031] Optionally, the maximum capacity B of the stirring chamber is 1500 ml.

[0032] Optionally, the third safety margin N3 is 100 ml.

[0033] Optionally, the blender's working capacity K in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0034] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a water tank located on one side of the mixing chamber and connected to the mixing chamber. The capacity A of the water tank is greater than or equal to the sum of the water consumption L of the food processor in self-cleaning mode, the water consumption M of the food processor in pre-treatment mode, the fourth safety margin N4, and K. The food processor also includes a pulping mode, where K is the working capacity of the food processor in pulping mode.

[0035] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a water tank, which is located on one side of the mixing chamber. Optionally, the water tank can be located at the rear of the mixing chamber. The concealed design of the water tank can enhance the overall aesthetics of the food processor. Depending on the different operating modes of the food processor, the water tank can be selectively connected to the mixing chamber.

[0036] For example, in pretreatment mode, the water tank needs to be connected to the mixing chamber to deliver water to the mixing chamber for washing or soaking the ingredients. In pulping mode, the water tank needs to be connected to the mixing chamber. When washing or soaking wastewater is discharged into the wastewater cup, and pretreated ingredients remain in the mixing chamber, clean water can be delivered back into the mixing chamber for pulping. In self-cleaning mode, the prepared pulp is discharged into the receiving cup, and the water tank needs to be connected to the mixing chamber to deliver clean water, achieving a self-cleaning process for the mixing chamber.

[0037] In other words, the connection between the water tank and the mixing chamber varies during the operation of the food processor and will be adjusted accordingly based on actual needs.

[0038] Among them, the capacity A of the water tank is greater than or equal to the sum of the water consumption L of the blender in self-cleaning mode, the water consumption M of the blender in pre-treatment mode, the fourth safety margin N4 and K, that is, A≥K+L+M+N4. In other words, the water volume in the water tank needs to meet the water demand in pre-treatment mode, pulping mode and self-cleaning mode to prevent insufficient water from affecting the fully automatic operation of the blender.

[0039] The food processor's operating modes also include a pureeing mode, where K represents the processor's capacity in pureeing mode. It's worth noting that the pureeing capacity K includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0040] Optionally, when A≥K+L+M+N4, the capacity A of the water tank is greater than or equal to 2680ml.

[0041] Optionally, the maximum capacity of the water tank A is 2700ml.

[0042] Optionally, the fourth safety margin N4 is 100 ml.

[0043] Optionally, the blender's working capacity K in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0044] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a water pump, which is located on the main unit. The water pump's inlet is connected to the water tank, and the water pump's outlet is connected to the mixing chamber via a pipe.

[0045] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a water pump, which is located on the main unit. The water pump can connect the water tank and the mixing chamber, and is used to transport water from the water tank to the mixing chamber to meet the water demand of the food processor in self-cleaning mode, pulping mode and pre-treatment mode. It also makes the position of the water tank and the mixing chamber flexible and changeable, which is conducive to the compact structure of the food processor.

[0046] It is worth noting that the water pump includes a connected inlet and outlet. The inlet is connected to the water tank, and the outlet is connected to the mixing chamber through a pipeline. The water in the water tank enters the water pump through the inlet, is pressurized, and then is transported to the mixing chamber through the pipeline from the outlet.

[0047] Optionally, a water inlet switch is provided at the bottom of the water tank. When the water tank is placed on the main unit, the water inlet switch is turned on, and the water in the water tank can be pumped into the mixing chamber through the pipeline by the water pump. After the ingredients and water are mixed, the pre-treatment wastewater generated after the ingredients are soaked is discharged into the wastewater cup.

[0048] In one possible technical solution, the water tank is further detachably mounted on the main unit.

[0049] In this technical solution, the water tank is detachably mounted on the main unit, facilitating cleaning and refilling. It is worth noting that the bottom of the water tank has a water inlet switch; when the water tank is placed on the main unit, the main unit opens the water inlet switch, allowing water from the tank to be pumped into the mixing chamber via a water pump.

[0050] In one possible technical solution, the wastewater cup further includes a first cup body and a second cup body. In the self-cleaning mode, the first cup body is connected to the stirring chamber, and in the pretreatment mode, the second cup body is connected to the stirring chamber. The volume V1 of the first cup body and the volume V2 of the second cup body satisfy 1 / 3≤V2 / V1≤1 / 2.

[0051] In this technical solution, the wastewater cup includes a first cup body and a second cup body. The first cup body is used to collect the self-cleaning wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber in self-cleaning mode. The second cup body is used to collect the pre-treatment wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber in pre-treatment mode. The amount of water discharged from the stirring chamber is different in self-cleaning mode and pre-treatment mode. By setting corresponding first and second cup bodies to collect wastewater in different working modes, the structural design of the wastewater cup is improved to adapt to the working modes of the food processor.

[0052] Optionally, the volume V1 of the first cup and the volume V2 of the second cup satisfy the above relationship, so that the arrangement of the first cup and the second cup is more adaptable to the needs of different working modes.

[0053] Optionally, the first cup body is exposed relative to the main unit, while the second main unit is embedded inside the main unit. This makes full use of the internal space of the main unit. That is, the wastewater cup is partially embedded and partially external relative to the main unit, so that the placement of the wastewater cup is not limited by the internal space of the main unit. This allows the interior of the wastewater cup to be made into a smooth cavity with large rounded corners for easy cleaning.

[0054] Optionally, the first cup and the second cup are not connected to each other, and the wastewater inside the first cup and the second cup is discharged separately. For example, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first cup and the bottom of the second cup.

[0055] In one possible technical solution, the first cup body and the second cup body are further connected.

[0056] In this technical solution, the first cup and the second cup are connected and together form a wastewater chamber. That is, whether in self-cleaning mode or pre-treatment mode, the wastewater discharged by the food processor will be collected in the wastewater chamber. There is no need to set up a dividing part to separate the first cup and the second cup, which can also reduce cleaning dead corners and further improve the cleanability of the wastewater cup.

[0057] In one possible technical solution, the wastewater cup is further detachably mounted on one side of the mixing chamber.

[0058] In this technical solution, the wastewater cup is detachably mounted on one side of the mixing chamber, making it convenient for the user to remove the wastewater cup and pour out the wastewater. Optionally, the wastewater cup can be positioned below the mixing chamber, allowing the liquid inside the mixing chamber to flow smoothly into the wastewater cup under the influence of gravity.

[0059] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a liquid passage and a mounting slot. The liquid passage is located on the main unit and communicates with the mixing chamber. The mounting slot is located on the main unit, and a portion of the wastewater cup extends into the mounting slot and communicates with the liquid passage.

[0060] In this technical solution, the food processor includes a liquid passage and a mounting slot. The liquid passage is located on the main unit and can communicate with the mixing chamber. In self-cleaning mode and / or pre-treatment mode, the wastewater discharged from the food processor can be discharged to the wastewater cup through the liquid passage. The liquid passage can guide the wastewater to the wastewater cup through a predetermined path, ensuring the wastewater collection efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the main unit is provided with an installation slot, and part of the wastewater cup extends into the installation slot and communicates with the liquid passage. That is, the wastewater cup is partially embedded and partially external relative to the main unit, so that the setting of the wastewater cup is not limited by the internal space of the main unit, and the interior of the wastewater cup can be made into a smooth cavity with large rounded corners for easy cleaning.

[0062] In one possible technical solution, the liquid passage further includes a first channel and a second channel. In self-cleaning mode, the first channel is connected to the mixing chamber, and in pre-treatment mode, the second channel is connected to the mixing chamber. The food processor also includes a valve assembly disposed within the first channel and / or the second channel, with one of the first and second channels connected to the mixing chamber via the valve assembly.

[0063] In this technical solution, the liquid discharge channel includes a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is used for wastewater discharge in self-cleaning mode, and the second channel is used for wastewater discharge in pretreatment mode. In other words, for different operating modes, there is a corresponding independent channel for wastewater discharge to meet the requirements, enabling full automation of the food processor. If a single channel is used for self-cleaning mode, pulping mode, and pretreatment mode, then manual operation by the user is required, necessitating the replacement of the pulp cup and wastewater cup.

[0064] Optionally, the valve assembly is located in the first channel and / or the second channel, and the valve assembly mainly functions to close the valve port, open the valve port, filter wastewater, and guide the slurry and wastewater to be discharged.

[0065] In the pre-treatment mode, the wastewater from soaking the ingredients is discharged through the second channel, and water is introduced back into the mixing chamber, where the ingredients are blended into a slurry. After slurry preparation, the valve of the valve assembly opens, and the slurry is guided from the mixing chamber through the valve assembly into the first channel, and then flows through the first channel into the receiving cup. Once all the slurry has been collected, the food processor enters the self-cleaning mode, the valve of the valve assembly closes, and water is introduced into the mixing chamber for automatic cleaning. After cleaning, the valve opens, and the self-cleaning wastewater in the mixing cup is discharged into the wastewater cup through the valve assembly and the first channel.

[0066] In one possible technical solution, the end of the first channel facing away from the stirring chamber is further exposed.

[0067] In this technical solution, the first channel includes an end that communicates with the mixing chamber and an end that is away from the mixing chamber. The end of the first channel that is away from the mixing chamber is exposed, which facilitates the connection between the first channel and the receiving cup and makes it convenient for the user to operate.

[0068] In one possible technical solution, the second channel extends vertically in a direction away from the mixing chamber.

[0069] In this technical solution, the second channel extends vertically away from the stirring chamber, which facilitates the discharge of wastewater from the pretreatment mode into the wastewater cup under gravity, thereby reducing the resistance to wastewater discharge.

[0070] It is worth noting that when the stirring chamber is located above the second channel, the stirring chamber extends in a vertically downward direction.

[0071] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a mixing element and a driving element, with the mixing element located inside the mixing chamber; a portion of the driving element is located outside the mixing chamber, and a portion of the driving element extends into the mixing chamber and is connected to the mixing element.

[0072] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a mixing element and a drive element. The mixing element is located inside the mixing chamber and is used to pulverize food. Part of the drive element is located outside the mixing chamber, which extends the service life of the electrically charged parts in the drive element, improves safety, and reduces waterproof requirements. The other part of the drive element extends into the mixing chamber and is connected to the mixing element. When the drive element is powered on, it can drive the mixing element to rotate, thereby pulverizing the food.

[0073] Optionally, the driving component is a drive motor, which includes a motor and a transmission shaft. The motor is located outside the mixing chamber, one end of the transmission shaft is connected to the motor, and the other end of the transmission shaft is connected to the mixing component. The motor drives the mixing component to rotate inside the mixing chamber through the transmission shaft, thereby achieving the crushing of the ingredients.

[0074] Optionally, the food processor includes a main unit, a water tank, a blending cup, a wastewater cup, and a receiving cup. The water tank is located at the rear of the main unit, the blending cup is placed inside the main unit, the wastewater cup is placed at the bottom of the main unit, and the receiving cup is placed above the wastewater cup and at the front of the main unit.

[0075] It is worth noting that "back" refers to the side furthest from the user, while "front" refers to the side closest to the user.

[0076] In one possible technical solution, the food processor further includes a blending cup, a heating element, a cup base, and a cup holder. The blending cup includes a dispensing spout. The heating element is located on the side of the blending cup away from the dispensing spout. A blending chamber is formed between the heating element and the blending cup. The cup base is located on the side of the heating element away from the blending chamber. The cup holder is located on the side of the blending cup away from the blending chamber. The cup holder is connected to the cup base. A portion of the blending cup and a portion of the heating element are sandwiched between the cup base and the cup holder.

[0077] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a blending cup, a heating element, a cup base, and a cup holder. The blending cup includes a dispensing spout, and the heating element is located on the side of the blending cup away from the dispensing spout. That is, the blending cup is on top, and the heating element is on the bottom, and the two are arranged in a vertical direction.

[0078] The heating element and the mixing cup have a mixing chamber, which is formed by the mixing cup and the heating element together. For example, the mixing cup has openings in both the top and bottom directions. The top opening is the loading and unloading port for food. The heating element can be sealed at the bottom opening of the mixing cup. In this case, the heating element can directly heat the food in the mixing chamber, which is more efficient and effectively prevents heat loss during the heat transfer process.

[0079] The cup holder is located on the side of the heating element away from the stirring chamber, i.e., on the outside of the heating element. The cup frame is located on the side of the stirring cup away from the stirring chamber, i.e., on the outside of the stirring cup. Along the depth direction of the stirring cup, such as vertically, the cup frame and cup holder can be fixedly connected by a locking connector, making the cup holder and cup frame a rigid whole. The locking connector can be a screw, which is simple in structure and allows for detachable connection of the cup holder and cup frame.

[0080] While the cup holder and cup support are locked together, a portion of the heating element and a portion of the stirring cup abut against the cup holder and cup support, respectively. For example, when the cup holder is positioned lower than the cup support, the cup holder provides upward support to the heating element, and the cup support applies downward pressure to the stirring cup. Under the combined action of the support provided by the cup holder and the pressure applied by the cup support, the heating element and the stirring cup are clamped and fixed between the cup holder and the cup support.

[0081] Once the locking connector between the cup holder and the cup base is released, the heating element and the stirring cup can be separated without any other fastening connection between them, making it convenient for the overall disassembly and maintenance of the stirring cup assembly.

[0082] In one possible technical solution, a portion of the stirring cup extends radially in a direction away from the central axis of the stirring cup to form a first limiting portion, and a portion of the heating element extends radially in a direction away from the central axis to form a second limiting portion; wherein a portion of the cup holder is disposed on the end face of the first limiting portion away from the second limiting portion, and a portion of the cup base is disposed on the end face of the second limiting portion away from the first limiting portion, so as to clamp and fix the stirring cup and the heating element.

[0083] In this technical solution, a portion of the stirring cup extends in a direction away from the central axis of the stirring cup to form a first limiting portion, that is, a portion of the stirring cup extends outward to form a first limiting portion, and the first limiting portion includes an end face away from the second limiting portion, that is, the upper end face of the first limiting portion.

[0084] A portion of the heating element extends in a direction away from the central axis to form a second limiting portion, that is, a portion of the heating element extends outward to form a second limiting portion, the second limiting portion including an end face away from the first limiting portion, that is, the lower end face of the second limiting portion.

[0085] The cup holder applies a downward force to the stirring cup through the upper end of the first limiting part, and the cup base provides an upward supporting force to the heating element through the lower end of the second limiting part. Under the combined action of the downward force provided by the cup holder and the upward supporting force provided by the cup base, the stirring cup and the heating element are reliably clamped between the cup base and the cup holder.

[0086] Optionally, the first limiting part is an annular limiting frustum.

[0087] Optionally, the second limiting part is an annular limiting frustum.

[0088] In one possible technical solution, a portion of the cup holder extends axially in the direction close to the heating element to form a third limiting portion, which is located on the radial side of the first limiting portion to restrict the radial movement of the stirring cup.

[0089] In this technical solution, a portion of the cup holder extends axially towards the heating element to form a third limiting portion. Specifically, a portion of the cup holder extends downwards to form the third limiting portion, which is located on the radial side of the first limiting portion, i.e., on the outer side of the stirring cup. The third limiting portion can contact the first limiting portion, thereby restricting the radial movement of the stirring cup. The cup holder and cup support not only provide axial positional restriction for the stirring cup but also ensure radial positional stability.

[0090] In one possible technical solution, the cup holder further includes a support portion and a fourth limiting portion. The second limiting portion overlaps the support portion, and the fourth limiting portion is connected to the support portion and extends axially in a direction close to the first limiting portion. The fourth limiting portion is located on the radial side of the second limiting portion to restrict the radial movement of the heating element.

[0091] In this technical solution, the cup holder includes a support portion and a fourth limiting portion. The second limiting portion overlaps the support portion, that is, the support portion is used to provide axial support force to the heating element. The fourth limiting portion is connected to the support portion and extends axially in a direction close to the first limiting portion, that is, the fourth limiting portion extends upward. The fourth limiting portion is located on the radial side of the second limiting portion. The fourth limiting portion can contact the second limiting portion of the heating element, thereby restricting the radial movement of the heating element.

[0092] In other words, in the axial direction, the cup holder and cup support can clamp the heating element and the stirring cup, and in the radial direction, the third limiting part and the fourth limiting part can restrict the movement of the stirring cup and the heating element, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the heating element and the stirring cup.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0119] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0120] The following reference Figures 1 to 9 The present application describes a food processor 1 provided according to some embodiments.

Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a main unit 10 and a wastewater cup 11. The main unit 10 has a stirring chamber 101, and the wastewater cup 11 is located on one side of the stirring chamber 101. The wastewater cup 11 can communicate with the stirring chamber 101, and the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is greater than or equal to the sum of L and M. The working modes of the food processor 1 include a self-cleaning mode and a pre-treatment mode. L is the water consumption of the food processor 1 in the self-cleaning mode, and M is the water consumption of the food processor 1 in the pre-treatment mode.

[0122] The food processor 1 provided in this application includes a main unit 10 and a wastewater cup 11. The main unit 10 is provided with a mixing chamber 101, which is used to hold food ingredients, and the food ingredients can be cooked in the mixing chamber 101.

[0123] The wastewater cup 11 is located on one side of the mixing chamber 101 and can be connected to the mixing chamber 101. Alternatively, the wastewater cup 11 can be disconnected from the mixing chamber 101, depending on the different operating modes of the food processor 1. Optionally, the wastewater cup 11 is located below the mixing chamber 101, allowing the liquid inside the mixing chamber 101 to flow smoothly to the wastewater cup 11 under gravity. Optionally, the wastewater cup 11 can be located above, to the left, to the right, in front, or behind the mixing chamber 101. In this case, the liquid inside the mixing chamber 101 may have difficulty flowing to the wastewater cup 11 under gravity. A pumping component can be installed between the mixing chamber 101 and the wastewater cup 11, thus freeing the relative positions of the mixing chamber 101 and the wastewater cup 11 and making their placement more flexible.

[0124] For food processor 1, its working modes include at least self-cleaning mode and pre-treatment mode.

[0125] When the food processor 1 is in self-cleaning mode, the mixing chamber 101 of the food processor 1 has wastewater for cleaning the mixing chamber 101. At this time, the water consumption L of the food processor 1 is the amount of wastewater used to clean the mixing chamber 101, which can also be understood as the amount of self-cleaning wastewater.

[0126] When the food processor 1 is in pre-processing mode, the mixing chamber 101 of the food processor 1 contains food ingredients. The water volume M of the food processor 1 is used for the pre-processing of the food ingredients, which can also be understood as the pre-processing wastewater volume. For example, pre-processing includes washing and soaking the food ingredients. It is worth noting that pre-processing the food ingredients not only improves the cooking effect, but also dissolves harmful substances in the food ingredients in the pre-processed wastewater, meeting the user's health needs.

[0127] For example, when blender 1 is used to make soy milk, soybeans can be soaked in water for 30 minutes first. During the soaking process, the purines in the soybeans will dissolve in the aqueous solution to form pre-treated wastewater, which is then discharged into wastewater cup 11. Next, clean water is added for blending, which effectively reduces the purine content of the beverage, producing low-purine soy milk that meets the needs of gout patients.

[0128] The capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 in this application can meet the one-time collection of wastewater from the food processor 1 in different working modes, realizing the full automation of the food processor 1. The operation is simple and reliable, and there is no need for the user to manually replace the wastewater cup 11, nor is there any possibility of wastewater spillage.

[0129] Optionally, food processor 1 includes a high-speed blender.

[0130] Optionally, the maximum capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is 1500ml, the maximum water consumption L of the blender 1 is 780ml in self-cleaning mode, and the maximum water consumption M of the blender 1 is 500ml in pre-treatment mode.

[0131] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is greater than or equal to the sum of the water consumption L of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, the water consumption M of the food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, and the first safety margin N1.

[0132] In this embodiment, the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is not only greater than or equal to the water consumption L of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode and the water consumption M of the food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, but also takes into account that the wastewater in the wastewater cup 11 is not easy to spill and is convenient for users to take. The capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is also set with a first safety margin N1, that is, D≥L+M+N1, so as to ensure that the wastewater cup 11 can effectively collect the wastewater generated by the food processor 1 in different working modes.

[0133] Optionally, the first safety margin N1 is 100 ml.

[0134] Optionally, the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is greater than or equal to 1380ml.

[0135] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a receiving cup 12, which can be connected to the mixing chamber 101. The capacity C of the receiving cup 12 is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the second safety margin N2. The working mode of the food processor 1 also includes a pulping mode, where K is the working capacity of the food processor 1 in the pulping mode.

[0136] In this embodiment, the food processor 1 also includes a receiving cup 12. The communication status between the receiving cup 12 and the mixing chamber 101 varies depending on the different operating modes of the food processor 1. The operating modes of the food processor 1 also include a pulping mode, a pre-treatment mode, a pulping mode, and a self-cleaning mode, performed sequentially. In the pulping mode, the receiving cup 12 is connected to the mixing chamber 101 and is used to receive the pulp from the mixing chamber 101. This application sets C≥K+N2, thereby enabling the receiving cup 12 to collect the pulp in the mixing chamber 101 in one go, eliminating the need to replace the receiving cup 12 during the pulping process and preventing interruption of pulp discharge. Simultaneously, considering the possibility of pulp spillage due to shaking when the user handles the receiving cup 12, a second safety margin N2 is set for the capacity C of the receiving cup 12.

[0137] Optionally, the second safety margin N2 is 100 ml.

[0138] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0139] It is worth noting that the working capacity K of the food processor 1 in the pulping mode includes the volume of the pulp formed by the ingredients being blended, pulverized, and mixed evenly with water.

[0140] Optionally, the capacity C of the receiving cup 12 is greater than or equal to 1400ml, where C≥K+N2.

[0141] Optionally, the maximum capacity C of the receiving cup 12 is 1500 ml.

[0142] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the capacity B of the mixing chamber 101 is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the third safety margin N3. The working mode of the food processor 1 also includes a pulping mode, where K is the working capacity of the food processor 1 in the pulping mode.

[0143] In this embodiment, the capacity B of the stirring chamber 101 is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the third safety margin N3, so that the capacity of the stirring chamber 101 meets the pulping requirements. At the same time, the third safety margin N3 is set to prevent the pulp from overflowing from the stirring chamber 101 during the pulping process.

[0144] The food processor 1 also includes a pureeing mode, where K represents the processing capacity of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode. It is worth noting that the processing capacity K of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0145] Optionally, users can set the working capacity K of the blender 1 in the pureeing mode according to their actual needs. For example, K can be 300ml, 400ml, 500ml, 600ml, 700ml, 800ml, 900ml, 1000ml, 1100ml, 1200ml or 1300ml.

[0146] Optionally, when B≥K+N3, the capacity B of the stirring chamber 101 is greater than or equal to 1400ml.

[0147] Optionally, the maximum capacity B of the stirring chamber 101 is 1500 ml.

[0148] Optionally, the third safety margin N3 is 100 ml.

[0149] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0150] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a water tank 13, which is located on one side of the mixing chamber 101 and can communicate with the mixing chamber 101. The capacity A of the water tank 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of the water consumption L of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, the water consumption M of the food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, the fourth safety margin N4, and K. The working mode of the food processor 1 also includes a pulping mode, where K is the working capacity of the food processor 1 in pulping mode.

[0151] In this embodiment, the food processor 1 also includes a water tank 13, which is located on one side of the mixing chamber 101. Optionally, the water tank 13 can be located on the rear side of the mixing chamber 101. The concealed arrangement of the water tank 13 can help improve the overall aesthetics of the food processor 1. Depending on the different working modes of the food processor 1, the water tank 13 can be selectively connected to the mixing chamber 101.

[0152] For example, in pretreatment mode, water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101 to deliver water to stirring chamber 101 for washing or soaking the ingredients inside. In pulping mode, water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101. When washing or soaking wastewater is discharged to wastewater cup 11, and pretreated ingredients remain in stirring chamber 101, clean water can be delivered to stirring chamber 101 again for pulping. In self-cleaning mode, the prepared pulp is discharged into receiving cup 12, and water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101 to deliver clean water to stirring chamber 101, realizing the self-cleaning process of stirring chamber 101.

[0153] In other words, during the operation of the food processor 1, the connection between the water tank 13 and the mixing chamber 101 is variable and will be adjusted accordingly based on actual needs.

[0154] Among them, the capacity A of water tank 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of water consumption L of food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, water consumption M of food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, fourth safety margin N4 and K, that is, A≥K+L+M+N4. In other words, the water storage in water tank 13 needs to meet the water demand in pre-treatment mode, pulping mode and self-cleaning mode to prevent insufficient water from affecting the fully automatic operation of food processor 1.

[0155] The food processor 1 also includes a pureeing mode, where K represents the processing capacity of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode. It is worth noting that the processing capacity K of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0156] Optionally, when A≥K+L+M+N4, the capacity A of water tank 13 is greater than or equal to 2680ml.

[0157] Optionally, the maximum capacity A of water tank 13 is 2700ml.

[0158] Optionally, the fourth safety margin N4 is 100 ml.

[0159] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0160] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a water pump 14, which is mounted on the main unit 10. The water inlet of the water pump 14 is connected to the water tank 13, and the water outlet of the water pump 14 is connected to the mixing chamber 101 through a pipe.

[0161] In this embodiment, the food processor 1 also includes a water pump 14, which is mounted on the main unit 10. The water pump 14 can connect the water tank 13 to the mixing chamber 101 and deliver water from the water tank 13 to the mixing chamber 101 to meet the water demand of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, pulping mode and pretreatment mode. It also makes the positions of the water tank 13 and the mixing chamber 101 flexible and changeable, which is beneficial to the compact structure of the food processor 1.

[0162] It is worth noting that the water pump 14 includes a connected inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the water tank 13, and the outlet is connected to the mixing chamber 101 through a pipeline. The water in the water tank 13 enters the water pump 14 through the inlet, is pressurized, and then is transported to the mixing chamber 101 through the pipeline from the outlet.

[0163] Optionally, a water inlet switch is provided at the bottom of the water tank 13. When the water tank 13 is placed on the main unit 10, the water inlet switch is opened, and the water in the water tank 13 can be pumped into the mixing chamber 101 through the pipeline by the water pump 14. After the ingredients and water are mixed, the pre-treatment wastewater generated after the ingredients are soaked is discharged into the wastewater cup 11.

[0164] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water tank 13 is detachably mounted on the main unit 10.

[0165] In this embodiment, the water tank 13 is detachably mounted on the main unit 10, which facilitates the cleaning and filling of the water tank 13. It is worth noting that the bottom of the water tank 13 is provided with a water inlet switch. When the water tank 13 is placed on the main unit 10, the main unit 10 opens the water inlet switch, so that the water in the water tank 13 can be pumped into the stirring chamber 101 by the water pump 14.

[0166] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wastewater cup 11 includes a first cup body 111 and a second cup body 112. In the self-cleaning mode, the first cup body 111 is connected to the stirring chamber 101. In the pretreatment mode, the second cup body 112 is connected to the stirring chamber 101. The volume V1 of the first cup body 111 and the volume V2 of the second cup body 112 satisfy 1 / 3≤V2 / V1≤1 / 2.

[0167] In this embodiment, the wastewater cup 11 includes a first cup body 111 and a second cup body 112. The first cup body 111 is used to collect the self-cleaning wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber 101 in the self-cleaning mode. The second cup body 112 is used to collect the pre-treatment wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber 101 in the pre-treatment mode. The amount of water discharged from the stirring chamber 101 is different in the self-cleaning mode and the pre-treatment mode. By setting corresponding first cup bodies 111 and second cup bodies 112 to collect wastewater in different working modes, the structural design of the wastewater cup 11 and its adaptability to the working modes of the food processor 1 are improved.

[0168] Optionally, the volume V1 of the first cup body 111 and the volume V2 of the second cup body 112 satisfy the above relationship, so that the arrangement of the first cup body 111 and the second cup body 112 is more adaptable to the needs of different working modes.

[0169] Optionally, the first cup body 111 is exposed relative to the main unit 10, and the second main unit 10 is embedded inside the main unit 10. This makes full use of the internal space of the main unit 10. That is, the wastewater cup 11 is partially embedded and partially external relative to the main unit 10, so that the setting of the wastewater cup 11 is not limited by the internal space of the main unit 10, and the interior of the wastewater cup 11 can be made into a smooth cavity with large rounded corners for easy cleaning.

[0170] Optionally, the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 are not connected to each other, and the wastewater inside the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 is discharged separately. For example, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first cup 111 and the bottom of the second cup 112 respectively.

[0171] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cup body 111 and the second cup body 112 are connected.

[0172] In this embodiment, the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 are connected and together form a wastewater chamber. That is, whether in self-cleaning mode or pre-treatment mode, the wastewater discharged by the food processor 1 will be collected in the wastewater chamber. There is no need to set up a dividing part to separate the first cup 111 and the second cup 112, which can also reduce cleaning dead corners and further improve the cleanability of the wastewater cup 11.

[0173] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 6 As shown, the wastewater cup 11 is detachably mounted on one side of the stirring chamber 101.

[0174] In this embodiment, the wastewater cup 11 is detachably mounted on one side of the stirring chamber 101, making it convenient for the user to pick up the wastewater cup 11 and pour out the wastewater. Optionally, the wastewater cup 11 can be positioned below the stirring chamber 101, allowing the liquid in the stirring chamber 101 to flow smoothly into the wastewater cup 11 under the influence of gravity.

[0175] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 includes a liquid passage 102 and a mounting slot 103. The liquid passage 102 is located on the main unit 10 and communicates with the mixing chamber 101. The mounting slot 103 is located on the main unit 10, and a portion of the wastewater cup 11 extends into the mounting slot 103 and communicates with the liquid passage 102.

[0176] In this embodiment, the food processor 1 includes a liquid passage 102 and a mounting slot 103. The liquid passage 102 is located on the main unit 10 and can communicate with the mixing chamber 101. In self-cleaning mode and / or pre-treatment mode, the wastewater discharged from the food processor 1 can be discharged to the wastewater cup 11 through the liquid passage 102. The liquid passage 102 can guide the wastewater to the wastewater cup 11 through a predetermined path, ensuring the wastewater collection efficiency.

[0177] Optionally, the main unit 10 is provided with a mounting groove 103, and a part of the wastewater cup 11 extends into the mounting groove 103 and communicates with the liquid passage 102. That is, the wastewater cup 11 is partially embedded and partially external relative to the main unit 10, so that the setting of the wastewater cup 11 is not limited by the internal space of the main unit 10, and the interior of the wastewater cup 11 can be made into a smooth cavity with large rounded corners for easy cleaning.

[0178] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liquid passage 102 includes a first passage 1021 and a second passage 1022. In self-cleaning mode, the first passage 1021 is connected to the mixing chamber 101, and in pre-treatment mode, the second passage 1022 is connected to the mixing chamber 101. The food processor 1 also includes a valve assembly 15, which is disposed in the first passage 1021 and / or the second passage 1022. The first passage 1021 and the second passage 1022 are selectively connected to the mixing chamber 101 through the valve assembly 15.

[0179] In this embodiment, the liquid discharge channel 102 includes a first channel 1021 and a second channel 1022. The first channel 1021 is used for wastewater discharge in self-cleaning mode, and the second channel 1022 is used for wastewater discharge in pretreatment mode. That is, for different working modes, there is a corresponding independent channel for wastewater discharge to meet the requirements, which can realize the full automation of the food processor 1. If a single channel is used in self-cleaning mode, pulping mode, and pretreatment mode, then manual operation by the user is required, and the pulp receiving cup 12 and wastewater cup 11 need to be replaced.

[0180] Optionally, the valve assembly 15 is disposed in the first channel 1021 and / or the second channel 1022. The valve assembly 15 mainly functions to close the valve port, open the valve port, filter wastewater, and guide the discharge of slurry and wastewater.

[0181] In the pre-treatment mode, the wastewater after soaking the ingredients is discharged through the second channel 1022, and water is introduced back into the mixing chamber 101, where the ingredients are blended into a slurry. After slurry preparation, the valve of the valve assembly 15 opens, and the slurry is guided from the mixing chamber 101 through the valve assembly 15 into the first channel 1021, and then flows through the first channel 1021 into the receiving cup 12. Once all the slurry has been collected, the food processor 1 enters the self-cleaning mode, the valve of the valve assembly 15 closes, water is introduced into the mixing chamber 101 for automatic cleaning, and after cleaning, the valve opens, and the self-cleaning wastewater in the mixing cup is discharged into the wastewater cup 11 through the valve assembly 15 and the first channel 1021.

[0182] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the first channel 1021 facing away from the stirring chamber 101 is exposed.

[0183] In this embodiment, the first channel 1021 includes an end that communicates with the stirring chamber 101, and also includes an end that is away from the stirring chamber 101. The end of the first channel 1021 that is away from the stirring chamber 101 is exposed, which makes it easy for the first channel 1021 to communicate with the receiving cup 12 and facilitates user operation.

[0184] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second channel 1022 extends vertically in a direction away from the stirring chamber 101.

[0185] In this embodiment, the second channel 1022 extends vertically in the direction away from the stirring chamber 101, thereby facilitating the discharge of wastewater in the pretreatment mode into the wastewater cup 11 under the action of gravity, and reducing the resistance to wastewater discharge.

[0186] It is worth noting that when the stirring chamber 101 is located above the second channel 1022, the stirring chamber 101 extends in a vertically downward direction.

[0187] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a mixing element 16 and a driving element 17. The mixing element 16 is located inside the mixing chamber 101; a portion of the driving element 17 is located outside the mixing chamber 101, and a portion of the driving element 17 extends into the mixing chamber 101 and is connected to the mixing element 16.

[0188] In this embodiment, the food processor 1 also includes a mixing element 16 and a drive element 17. The mixing element 16 is located inside the mixing chamber 101 and is used to pulverize food ingredients. A portion of the drive element 17 is located outside the mixing chamber 101, which extends the service life of the electrically charged parts in the drive element 17, improves safety performance, and reduces waterproof requirements. The other portion of the drive element 17 extends into the mixing chamber 101 and is connected to the mixing element 16. When the drive element 17 is energized, it can drive the mixing element 16 to rotate, thereby pulverizing the food ingredients.

[0189] Optionally, the driving component 17 is a drive motor, which includes a motor and a transmission shaft. The motor is located outside the mixing chamber 101, one end of the transmission shaft is connected to the motor, and the other end of the transmission shaft is connected to the mixing component 16. The motor drives the mixing component 16 to rotate inside the mixing chamber 101 through the transmission shaft, thereby realizing the crushing of the food.

[0190] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the food processor 1 includes a main unit 10, a water tank 13, a mixing cup, a wastewater cup 11, and a receiving cup 12. The water tank 13 is located at the rear of the main unit 10, the mixing cup is placed inside the main unit 10, the wastewater cup 11 is placed at the bottom of the main unit 10, and the receiving cup 12 is placed above the wastewater cup 11 and at the front of the main unit 10.

[0191] It is worth noting that "back" refers to the side furthest from the user, while "front" refers to the side closest to the user.

[0192] In one possible embodiment, the preprocessing mode further includes a first preprocessing mode and a second preprocessing mode.

[0193] When the food processor 1 is in the first pre-processing mode, 500ml of water is added to the mixing chamber 101, and then the mixture in the mixing chamber 101 is heated and kept at 55±5℃ for 27 minutes. After that, the liquid after soaking the ingredients is filtered and discharged.

[0194] When the food processor 1 is in the second pre-processing mode, 250ml of water is added to the mixing chamber 101. The mixture in the mixing chamber 101 is then heated and kept at 55±5℃ for 20 minutes. After filtration, the liquid used to soak the ingredients is drained, and the process is repeated once more. In the second pre-processing mode, a total of 500ml of water is used, and the process takes 40 minutes. After processing in the second pre-processing mode, substances in the ingredients that may affect the user's health will dissolve in the water, thus meeting the user's health needs.

[0195] In one possible embodiment, further, when the food processor 1 is in the pulping mode, 80g to 120g of ingredients are first put into the mixing chamber 101, and then 780ml of water is added.

[0196] During the pulping process, the operating power of the heating element 182 varies according to the cooking requirements.

[0197] For example, it can be heated to 90°C at full power of 1500W first, then to 95°C at 700W, then simmered intermittently at 500W for 4 minutes, and then simmered intermittently at 400W for 4 minutes. During the aforementioned process, the drive motor is at a low speed, such as 2000rpm to 5000rpm, thereby controlling the stirring and heat exchange of the stirring component 16.

[0198] Then, the drive motor intermittently stirs and grinds at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute, and then grinds at 12,000 rpm for 11 minutes.

[0199] Next, 400ml of water is introduced into the mixing chamber 101, while the heating element 182 is heated to 92℃~96℃, and then the slurry is discharged.

[0200] In other words, in the pulping mode, the pulping capacity K of food processor 1 is 120g of ingredients + 780ml of water for the first intake + 400ml of water for the second intake = 1300ml.

[0201] In one possible embodiment, when the food processor 1 is in self-cleaning mode, the self-cleaning of the food processor 1 mainly includes initial cleaning of the mixing chamber 101, fine cleaning of the mixing chamber 101, cleaning of the filter screen, rinsing of the mixing chamber 101, and hot drying.

[0202] During the initial washing process of the mixing chamber 101, 350ml of water is introduced into the mixing chamber 101, and the mixing element 16 located in the mixing chamber 101 is controlled to stir for 1 minute before being discharged.

[0203] Then, add 250ml of water into the stirring chamber 101, heat it to above 85℃, and control the stirring component 16 to stir for 1 minute before draining it.

[0204] Next, 100ml of water is introduced into the stirring chamber 101, stirred for 1 minute, and then discharged through the mesh of the filter screen. The valve assembly 15 includes a filter screen.

[0205] Then, add 80ml of water to the mixing chamber 101, mix for 1 minute, and then drain.

[0206] Finally, the heating element 182 of the food processor 1 is controlled to heat to 100°C at 1000W, and then kept warm at 110°C at 500W. At the same time, the drive element 17 is controlled to drive the mixing element 16 to mix at low speed for 4 minutes, completing the self-cleaning process of the food processor 1.

[0207] It is worth noting that the food processor 1 has multiple cooking modes, such as multigrain porridge, oat milk, fruit and vegetable juice, vegetable soup, quick soy milk, thick soy milk, etc.

[0208] In different cooking modes, users can choose whether to use the pre-processing mode according to their needs.

[0209] For example, in the multigrain porridge cooking mode, the ingredients do not need to be pre-treated, meaning the food processor can directly run the pulping mode and self-cleaning mode.

[0210] In the quick soy milk or thick soy milk modes, users can choose whether to use the pre-processing mode based on the intended consumer.

[0211] For example, if soy milk is intended for gout patients, a pre-processing mode needs to be selected. For instance, the food processor 1 has a pre-processing button. When the user clicks the pre-processing button, the food processor will go through the pre-processing mode, the soy milk making mode, and the self-cleaning mode when making quick or thick soy milk.

[0212] For example, when making soy milk for non-gout patients, it is not necessary to pre-process the ingredients. In this case, the user can choose not to select the pre-processing mode, and the ingredients do not need to be pre-processed. That is, the food processor can directly run the soy milk making mode and the self-cleaning mode.

[0213] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 includes a main unit 10 and a wastewater cup 11. The main unit 10 has a mixing chamber 101, which is used to hold ingredients and can be cooked in the mixing chamber 101.

[0214] The wastewater cup 11 is located on one side of the mixing chamber 101 and can be connected to the mixing chamber 101. Alternatively, the wastewater cup 11 can be disconnected from the mixing chamber 101, depending on the different operating modes of the food processor 1. Optionally, the wastewater cup 11 is located below the mixing chamber 101, allowing the liquid inside the mixing chamber 101 to flow smoothly to the wastewater cup 11 under gravity. Optionally, the wastewater cup 11 can be located above, to the left, to the right, in front, or behind the mixing chamber 101. In this case, the liquid inside the mixing chamber 101 may have difficulty flowing to the wastewater cup 11 under gravity. A pumping component can be installed between the mixing chamber 101 and the wastewater cup 11, thus freeing the relative positions of the mixing chamber 101 and the wastewater cup 11 and making their placement more flexible.

[0215] For food processor 1, its working modes include at least self-cleaning mode and pre-treatment mode.

[0216] When the food processor 1 is in self-cleaning mode, the mixing chamber 101 of the food processor 1 has wastewater for cleaning the mixing chamber 101. At this time, the water consumption L of the food processor 1 is the amount of wastewater used to clean the mixing chamber 101, which can also be understood as the amount of self-cleaning wastewater.

[0217] When the food processor 1 is in pre-processing mode, the mixing chamber 101 of the food processor 1 contains food ingredients. The water volume M of the food processor 1 is used for the pre-processing of the food ingredients, which can also be understood as the pre-processing wastewater volume. For example, pre-processing includes washing and soaking the food ingredients. It is worth noting that pre-processing the food ingredients not only improves the cooking effect, but also dissolves harmful substances in the food ingredients in the pre-processed wastewater, meeting the user's health needs.

[0218] For example, when blender 1 is used to make soy milk, soybeans can be soaked in water for 30 minutes first. During the soaking process, the purines in the soybeans will dissolve in the aqueous solution to form pre-treated wastewater, which is then discharged into wastewater cup 11. Next, clean water is added for blending, which effectively reduces the purine content of the beverage, producing low-purine soy milk that meets the needs of gout patients.

[0219] The capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 in this application can meet the one-time collection of wastewater from the food processor 1 in different working modes, realizing the full automation of the food processor 1. The operation is simple and reliable, and there is no need for the user to manually replace the wastewater cup 11, nor is there any possibility of wastewater spillage.

[0220] Optionally, food processor 1 includes a high-speed blender.

[0221] Optionally, the maximum capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is 1500ml, the maximum water consumption L of the blender 1 is 780ml in self-cleaning mode, and the maximum water consumption M of the blender 1 is 500ml in pre-treatment mode.

[0222] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is not only greater than or equal to the water consumption L of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode and the water consumption M of the food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, but also takes into account that the wastewater in the wastewater cup 11 is not easy to spill and is convenient for users to take out. The capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is also set with a first safety margin N1, that is, D≥L+M+N1, so as to ensure that the wastewater cup 11 can effectively collect the wastewater generated by the food processor 1 in different working modes.

[0223] Optionally, the first safety margin N1 is 100 ml.

[0224] Optionally, the capacity D of the wastewater cup 11 is greater than or equal to 1380ml.

[0225] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a receiving cup 12. The connection between the receiving cup 12 and the mixing chamber 101 varies depending on the different operating modes of the food processor 1. The operating modes of the food processor 1 include a pulping mode, a pre-treatment mode, a pulping mode, and a self-cleaning mode, performed sequentially. In the pulping mode, the receiving cup 12 is connected to the mixing chamber 101 and is used to receive the pulp from the mixing chamber 101. This application sets C≥K+N2, thereby enabling the receiving cup 12 to collect the pulp in the mixing chamber 101 in one go, eliminating the need to replace the receiving cup 12 during the pulping process and preventing interruption of pulp discharge. Simultaneously, considering the possibility of pulp spillage due to shaking when the user handles the receiving cup 12, a second safety margin N2 is set for the capacity C of the receiving cup 12.

[0226] Optionally, the second safety margin N2 is 100 ml.

[0227] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0228] It is worth noting that the working capacity K of the food processor 1 in the pulping mode includes the volume of the pulp formed by the ingredients being blended, pulverized, and mixed evenly with water.

[0229] Optionally, the capacity C of the receiving cup 12 is greater than or equal to 1400ml, where C≥K+N2.

[0230] Optionally, the maximum capacity C of the receiving cup 12 is 1500 ml.

[0231] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the capacity B of the mixing chamber 101 is greater than or equal to the sum of K and the third safety margin N3, so that the capacity of the mixing chamber 101 meets the pulping requirements. At the same time, the third safety margin N3 is set to prevent the pulp from overflowing from the mixing chamber 101 during the pulping process.

[0232] The food processor 1 also includes a pureeing mode, where K represents the processing capacity of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode. It is worth noting that the processing capacity K of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0233] Optionally, when B≥K+N3, the capacity B of the stirring chamber 101 is greater than or equal to 1400ml.

[0234] Optionally, the maximum capacity B of the stirring chamber 101 is 1500 ml.

[0235] Optionally, the third safety margin N3 is 100 ml.

[0236] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0237] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a water tank 13, which is located on one side of the mixing chamber 101. Optionally, the water tank 13 can be located on the rear side of the mixing chamber 101. The concealed design of the water tank 13 can enhance the overall aesthetics of the food processor 1. Depending on the different working modes of the food processor 1, the water tank 13 can be selectively connected to the mixing chamber 101.

[0238] For example, in pretreatment mode, water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101 to deliver water to stirring chamber 101 for washing or soaking the ingredients inside. In pulping mode, water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101. When washing or soaking wastewater is discharged to wastewater cup 11, and pretreated ingredients remain in stirring chamber 101, clean water can be delivered to stirring chamber 101 again for pulping. In self-cleaning mode, the prepared pulp is discharged into receiving cup 12, and water tank 13 needs to be connected to stirring chamber 101 to deliver clean water to stirring chamber 101, realizing the self-cleaning process of stirring chamber 101.

[0239] In other words, during the operation of the food processor 1, the connection between the water tank 13 and the mixing chamber 101 is variable and will be adjusted accordingly based on actual needs.

[0240] Among them, the capacity A of water tank 13 is greater than or equal to the sum of water consumption L of food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, water consumption M of food processor 1 in pre-treatment mode, fourth safety margin N4 and K, that is, A≥K+L+M+N4. In other words, the water storage in water tank 13 needs to meet the water demand in pre-treatment mode, pulping mode and self-cleaning mode to prevent insufficient water from affecting the fully automatic operation of food processor 1.

[0241] The food processor 1 also includes a pureeing mode, where K represents the processing capacity of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode. It is worth noting that the processing capacity K of the food processor 1 in pureeing mode includes the volume of the puree formed after the ingredients are blended and mixed evenly with water.

[0242] Optionally, when A≥K+L+M+N4, the capacity A of water tank 13 is greater than or equal to 2680ml.

[0243] Optionally, the maximum capacity A of water tank 13 is 2700ml.

[0244] Optionally, the fourth safety margin N4 is 100 ml.

[0245] Optionally, the working capacity K of the blender 1 in puree mode is 1300ml.

[0246] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the food processor 1 also includes a water pump 14, which is mounted on the main unit 10. The water pump 14 can connect the water tank 13 to the mixing chamber 101 and deliver water from the water tank 13 to the mixing chamber 101 to meet the water demand of the food processor 1 in self-cleaning mode, pulping mode and pre-treatment mode. It also makes the positions of the water tank 13 and the mixing chamber 101 flexible and changeable, which is beneficial to the compact structure of the food processor 1.

[0247] It is worth noting that the water pump 14 includes a connected inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the water tank 13, and the outlet is connected to the mixing chamber 101 through a pipeline. The water in the water tank 13 enters the water pump 14 through the inlet, is pressurized, and then is transported to the mixing chamber 101 through the pipeline from the outlet.

[0248] Optionally, a water inlet switch is provided at the bottom of the water tank 13. When the water tank 13 is placed on the main unit 10, the water inlet switch is opened, and the water in the water tank 13 can be pumped into the mixing chamber 101 through the pipeline by the water pump 14. After the ingredients and water are mixed, the pre-treatment wastewater generated after the ingredients are soaked is discharged into the wastewater cup 11.

[0249] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water tank 13 is detachably mounted on the main unit 10, which facilitates the cleaning and filling of the water tank 13. It is worth noting that the bottom of the water tank 13 is equipped with a water inlet switch. When the water tank 13 is placed on the main unit 10, the main unit 10 opens the water inlet switch, so that the water in the water tank 13 can be pumped into the mixing chamber 101 by the water pump 14.

[0250] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the wastewater cup 11 includes a first cup body 111 and a second cup body 112. The first cup body 111 is used to collect the self-cleaning wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber 101 in the self-cleaning mode. The second cup body 112 is used to collect the pre-treatment wastewater discharged from the stirring chamber 101 in the pre-treatment mode. The amount of water discharged from the stirring chamber 101 is different in the self-cleaning mode and the pre-treatment mode. By setting the corresponding first cup body 111 and second cup body 112 to collect the wastewater in different working modes, the structural design of the wastewater cup 11 and its adaptability to the working modes of the food processor 1 are improved.

[0251] Optionally, the volume V1 of the first cup body 111 and the volume V2 of the second cup body 112 satisfy the above relationship, so that the arrangement of the first cup body 111 and the second cup body 112 is more adaptable to the needs of different working modes.

[0252] Optionally, the first cup body 111 is exposed relative to the main unit 10, and the second main unit 10 is embedded inside the main unit 10. This makes full use of the internal space of the main unit 10. That is, the wastewater cup 11 is partially embedded and partially external relative to the main unit 10, so that the setting of the wastewater cup 11 is not limited by the internal space of the main unit 10, and the interior of the wastewater cup 11 can be made into a smooth cavity with large rounded corners for easy cleaning.

[0253] Optionally, the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 are not connected to each other, and the wastewater inside the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 is discharged separately. For example, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first cup 111 and the bottom of the second cup 112 respectively.

[0254] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cup 111 and the second cup 112 are connected and together form a wastewater chamber. That is, whether in self-cleaning mode or pre-treatment mode, the wastewater discharged by the food processor 1 will be collected in the wastewater chamber. There is no need to set up a dividing part to separate the first cup 111 and the second cup 112, which can also reduce cleaning dead corners and further improve the cleanability of the wastewater cup 11.

[0255] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 9As shown, the food processor also includes a blending cup 181, a heating element 182, a cup holder 183, and a cup rack 184. The blending cup 181 includes a dispensing opening. The heating element 182 is located on the side of the blending cup 181 away from the dispensing opening. A blending chamber is formed between the heating element 182 and the blending cup 181. The cup holder 183 is located on the side of the heating element 182 away from the blending chamber. The cup rack 184 is located on the side of the blending cup 181 away from the blending chamber. The cup rack 184 is connected to the cup holder 183. A portion of the blending cup 181 and a portion of the heating element 182 are sandwiched between the cup holder 183 and the cup rack 184.

[0256] In this embodiment, the food processor also includes a blending cup 181, a heating element 182, a cup holder 183, and a cup rack 184. The blending cup 181 includes a dispensing opening, and the heating element 182 is located on the side of the blending cup 181 away from the dispensing opening. That is, the blending cup 181 is on top, and the heating element 182 is on the bottom, and the two are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0257] The heating element 182 and the stirring cup 181 are connected by a stirring chamber, which is formed by the stirring cup 181 and the heating element 182. For example, the stirring cup 181 is open in both the upper and lower directions. The upper opening is the loading and unloading port for food loading and unloading. The heating element 182 can be sealed at the lower opening of the stirring cup 181. In this case, the heating element 182 can directly heat the food in the stirring chamber, which is more efficient and effectively prevents heat loss during the heat transfer process.

[0258] The cup holder 183 is located on the side of the heating element 182 away from the stirring chamber, i.e., the cup holder 183 is located on the outside of the heating element 182. The cup rack 184 is located on the side of the stirring cup 181 away from the stirring chamber, i.e., the cup rack 184 surrounds the outside of the stirring cup 181. Along the depth direction of the stirring cup 181, such as the vertical direction, the cup rack 184 and the cup holder 183 can be fixedly connected by a locking connector, so that the cup holder 183 and the cup rack 184 form a rigid whole. The locking connector can be a screw, which has a simple structure and allows for a detachable connection between the cup holder 183 and the cup rack 184.

[0259] While the cup holder 183 and the cup support 184 are locked together, a portion of the heating element 182 and a portion of the stirring cup 181 abut against the cup holder 183 and the cup support 184, respectively. For example, when the cup holder 183 is positioned lower than the cup support 184, the cup holder 183 can provide an upward supporting force to the heating element 182, and the cup support 184 can apply downward pressure to the stirring cup 181. Under the combined action of the supporting force provided by the cup holder 183 and the pressure applied by the cup support 184, the heating element 182 and the stirring cup 181 are clamped and fixed between the cup holder 183 and the cup support 184.

[0260] Once the locking connection between the cup holder 184 and the cup base 183 is released, the heating element 182 and the stirring cup 181 can be separated without any other fastening connection between them, which facilitates the overall disassembly and maintenance of the stirring cup 181 assembly.

[0261] In one possible embodiment, further, as Figure 9 As shown, a portion of the stirring cup 181 extends radially in a direction away from the central axis of the stirring cup 181 to form a first limiting portion 185, and a portion of the heating element 182 extends radially in a direction away from the central axis to form a second limiting portion 186; wherein, a portion of the cup holder 184 is disposed on the end face of the first limiting portion 185 away from the second limiting portion 186, and a portion of the cup base 183 is disposed on the end face of the second limiting portion 186 away from the first limiting portion 185, so as to clamp and fix the stirring cup 181 and the heating element 182.

[0262] In this embodiment, a portion of the stirring cup 181 extends in a direction away from the central axis of the stirring cup 181 to form a first limiting portion 185, that is, a portion of the stirring cup 181 extends outward to form a first limiting portion 185, and the first limiting portion 185 includes an end face away from the second limiting portion 186, that is, the upper end face of the first limiting portion 185.

[0263] A portion of the heating element 182 extends in a direction away from the central axis to form a second limiting portion 186, that is, a portion of the heating element 182 extends outward to form a second limiting portion 186, the second limiting portion 186 including an end face away from the first limiting portion 185, that is, the lower end face of the second limiting portion 186.

[0264] The cup holder 184 applies a downward force to the stirring cup 181 through the upper end of the first limiting part 185, and the cup base 183 provides an upward supporting force to the heating element 182 through the lower end of the second limiting part 186. Under the combined action of the downward force provided by the cup holder 184 and the upward supporting force provided by the cup base 183, the stirring cup 181 and the heating element 182 are reliably clamped between the cup base 183 and the cup holder 184.

[0265] Optionally, the first limiting part 185 is an annular limiting frustum.

[0266] Optionally, the second limiting part 186 is an annular limiting frustum.

[0267] In one possible embodiment, a portion of the cup holder 184 extends axially in a direction close to the heating element 182 to form a third limiting portion 187, which is located on the radial side of the first limiting portion 185 to restrict the radial movement of the stirring cup 181.

[0268] In this embodiment, a portion of the cup holder 184 extends axially in the direction close to the heating element 182 to form a third limiting portion 187. That is, a portion of the cup holder 184 extends downward to form the third limiting portion 187. The third limiting portion 187 is located on the radial side of the first limiting portion 185, that is, the third limiting portion 187 is located on the outside of the stirring cup 181. The third limiting portion 187 can contact the first limiting portion 185, thereby restricting the radial movement of the stirring cup 181. The cup seat 183 and the cup holder 184 not only provide axial positional restriction for the stirring cup 181, but also ensure the radial positional stability of the stirring cup 181.

[0269] In one possible embodiment, the cup holder 183 further includes a support portion 188 and a fourth limiting portion 189. The second limiting portion 186 overlaps the support portion 188, and the fourth limiting portion 189 is connected to the support portion 188 and extends axially in a direction close to the first limiting portion 185. The fourth limiting portion 189 is located on the radial side of the second limiting portion 186 to limit the radial movement of the heating element 182.

[0270] In this embodiment, the cup holder 183 includes a support portion 188 and a fourth limiting portion 189. The second limiting portion 186 overlaps the support portion 188, that is, the support portion 188 is used to provide axial support force to the heating element 182. The fourth limiting portion 189 is connected to the support portion 188 and extends axially in a direction close to the first limiting portion 185, that is, the fourth limiting portion 189 extends upward. The fourth limiting portion 189 is located on the radial side of the second limiting portion 186. The fourth limiting portion 189 can contact the second limiting portion 186 of the heating element 182, thereby restricting the radial movement of the heating element 182.

[0271] In other words, in the axial direction, the cup holder 183 and the cup support 184 can clamp the heating element 182 and the stirring cup 181, and in the radial direction, the third limiting part 187 and the fourth limiting part 189 can restrict the movement of the stirring cup 181 and the heating element 182, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the heating element 182 and the stirring cup 181.

The terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
