Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a base assembly and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] At present, food processors such as wall breakers, soymilk machines, and juicers are very popular among users. Food processors use motors to drive blades to beat food to cook it. During the food processor cooking process, the food in the cup may enter the base assembly, or the user may accidentally spill water into the base assembly when cleaning the base assembly. If it is not drained in time, bacteria will grow in the base assembly, and even worse, the electrical components in the base assembly will be damaged, affecting the normal use of the electrical components. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a base assembly and a food processor to solve the problem of liquid accumulation in the base assembly of the existing food processor.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a base assembly, comprising:

[0005] A shell, wherein a first drainage structure and a second drainage structure are provided on the shell, wherein the first drainage structure is communicated with the interior of the shell, and the second drainage structure is communicated with the outside;

[0006] An air duct assembly is connected to the shell, and the air duct assembly is arranged between the first drainage structure and the second drainage structure. A third drainage structure is provided on the air duct assembly. In the height direction, one end of the third drainage structure is arranged corresponding to the first drainage structure, and the other end of the third drainage structure is arranged corresponding to the second drainage structure.

[0007] Beneficial effect: By arranging drainage structures on both the shell and the air duct assembly, and each drainage structure is arranged correspondingly, when water enters the base assembly, the water can enter the third drainage structure through the first drainage structure, and then enter the second drainage structure from the third drainage structure, and then flow out of the shell. By arranging multiple drainage structures correspondingly in the height direction of the shell of the base assembly and the air duct assembly, the water entering the base assembly can be discharged outward in time, preventing the accumulation of liquid in the base assembly from breeding bacteria or causing damage to the electrical components inside the base assembly.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, in the height direction, the third drainage structure penetrates the air duct arrangement of the air duct assembly.

[0009] Beneficial effect: Since the air duct is long, the third drainage structure is arranged in the height direction and penetrates the air duct setting of the air duct assembly, so that when water enters the shell, the water can be directly discharged through the third drainage structure without accumulating in the air duct.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the third drainage structure includes a fourth drainage structure and a fifth drainage structure;

[0011] The air duct assembly comprises:

[0012] a first cover plate, wherein a first air duct is disposed on the first cover plate, the fourth drainage structure is disposed on the first cover plate, and the fourth drainage structure runs through the first air duct;

[0013] A second cover plate, wherein the second cover plate is connected to the first cover plate, a second air duct is disposed on the second cover plate, the second air duct is communicated with the first air duct, the fifth drainage structure is disposed on the second cover plate, and the fifth drainage structure runs through the second air duct.

[0014] In an optional implementation, one end of the fourth drainage structure is connected to one end of the fifth drainage structure.

[0015] In an optional implementation, the other end of the fifth drainage structure is connected to one end of the second drainage structure.

[0016] Beneficial effect: By connecting one end of the fourth drainage structure with one end of the fifth drainage structure and the other end of the fifth drainage structure with the second drainage structure, the water in the shell can smoothly enter the next drainage structure through one drainage structure without accumulating in the base assembly, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the first drainage structure is a hollow columnar structure, and one end of the first drainage structure close to the air duct assembly is arranged in the air duct assembly.

[0018] Beneficial effect: By setting the first drainage structure as a hollow columnar structure and one end of the first drainage structure being arranged in the air duct assembly, it can be ensured that the water inside the shell can enter the air duct assembly through the first drainage structure, preventing the water inside the shell from accumulating inside the shell. At the same time, since one end of the first drainage structure is arranged in the air duct assembly, it can play a role of pre-positioning during assembly, thereby facilitating the assembly of the shell and the air duct assembly.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, one end of the first drainage structure close to the air duct assembly is arranged in the fourth drainage structure.

[0020] Beneficial effect: By inserting one end of the first drainage structure into the fourth drainage structure, it can be ensured that the water inside the shell can enter the fourth drainage structure from the first drainage structure, and will not accumulate inside the shell and the first air duct, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, one end of the first drainage structure close to the air duct assembly extends into the fifth drainage structure through the fourth drainage structure.

[0022] Beneficial effect: By extending one end of the first drainage structure into the fifth drainage structure through the fourth drainage structure, it is possible to prevent water from flowing into the air duct assembly through the gap between the fourth drainage structure and the fifth drainage structure, thereby affecting the discharge of water outside the shell.

[0023] In an optional implementation, from top to bottom, the first drainage structure, the fourth drainage structure, the fifth drainage structure and the second drainage structure are sequentially arranged in a socket manner.

[0024] Beneficial effect: From top to bottom, by sequentially nesting the first drainage structure, the fourth drainage structure, the fifth drainage structure and the second drainage structure, the incoming water in the shell can be discharged to the outside of the shell through each drainage structure in turn, preventing the incoming water from flowing into the air duct assembly through the gap between the shell and the air duct assembly, the gap between the first cover plate and the second cover plate, etc., thereby ensuring the drainage effect.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the housing comprises:

[0026] An upper shell, on which the first drainage structure is provided, and the upper shell is arranged above the air duct assembly;

[0027] A bottom cover is connected to the upper shell, the bottom cover is arranged below the air duct assembly, and the second drainage structure is arranged on the bottom cover.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of first limiting structures are provided on the circumference of the upper shell, and a second limiting structure cooperatively connected with the first limiting structures is provided on the circumference of the bottom cover.

[0029] Beneficial effect: By arranging multiple first limiting structures on the circumference of the upper shell and arranging second limiting structures on the circumference of the bottom cover to cooperate with the first limiting structures, the upper shell and the bottom cover can be better limited when they are assembled together, thereby ensuring the assembly reliability of the upper shell and the bottom cover.

[0030] In an optional implementation, the first limiting structure is a limiting groove, and the second limiting structure is a limiting rib.

[0031] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a food processor, comprising the above-mentioned base assembly.

[0032] Beneficial effect: Because the food processor includes the above-mentioned base assembly, it has the same effect as the base assembly, which will not be described in detail here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a base assembly is provided, including: a shell 1, on which a first drainage structure 1012 and a second drainage structure 1022 are provided, the first drainage structure 1012 is communicated with the interior of the shell 1, and the second drainage structure 1022 is communicated with the outside; an air duct assembly, connected to the shell 1, the air duct assembly is arranged between the first drainage structure 1012 and the second drainage structure 1022, and a third drainage structure is provided on the air duct assembly, in the height direction, one end of the third drainage structure is arranged corresponding to the first drainage structure 1012, and the other end of the third drainage structure is arranged corresponding to the second drainage structure 1022. The height direction here refers to the height direction of the base assembly when it is placed in use, that is, the height direction of the attached Figure 1 Up and down direction.

[0049] By arranging drainage structures on both the shell 1 and the air duct assembly, and each drainage structure is arranged correspondingly, when water enters the base assembly, the water can enter the third drainage structure through the first drainage structure 1012, and then enter the second drainage structure 1022 from the third drainage structure, and then flow out of the shell 1. By arranging multiple drainage structures correspondingly in the height direction of the shell 1 and the air duct assembly of the base assembly, the water in the base assembly can be discharged outward in time, preventing the accumulation of liquid in the base assembly from breeding bacteria or causing damage to the electrical components inside the base assembly.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the height direction, the third drainage structure penetrates the air duct setting of the air duct assembly, that is, the third drainage structure is set as a countersunk hole structure. Since the air duct is long, by passing the third drainage structure through the air duct setting of the air duct assembly in the height direction, when water enters the housing 1, the water can be directly discharged through the third drainage structure without accumulating in the air duct.

[0051] Specifically, the third drainage structure includes a fourth drainage structure 202 and a fifth drainage structure 302; the air duct assembly includes: a first cover plate 2, a first air duct 201 is provided on the first cover plate 2, a fourth drainage structure 202 is provided on the first cover plate 2, and the fourth drainage structure 202 runs through the first air duct 201; a second cover plate 3, the second cover plate 3 is connected to the first cover plate 2, a second air duct 301 is provided on the second cover plate 3, the second air duct 301 is connected to the first air duct 201, a fifth drainage structure 302 is provided on the second cover plate 3, and the fifth drainage structure 302 runs through the second air duct 301. As a convertible embodiment, the air duct assembly may also include only one cover plate, an air duct is formed on the cover plate, and a third drainage structure is provided running through the air duct.

[0052] As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that, in the height direction, the third drainage structure does not penetrate the air duct setting of the air duct assembly, but only a fourth drainage structure 202 connected to the first air duct 201 is set on the upper surface of the first cover plate 2, and a fifth drainage structure 302 connected to the second air duct 301 is set on the upper surface of the second cover plate 3.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the fourth drainage structure 202 is connected to one end of the fifth drainage structure 302, and the other end of the fifth drainage structure 302 is connected to one end of the second drainage structure 1022. By connecting one end of the fourth drainage structure 202 to one end of the fifth drainage structure 302, and the other end of the fifth drainage structure 302 to the second drainage structure 1022, the water in the housing 1 can smoothly enter the next drainage structure through one drainage structure, and will not accumulate in the base assembly, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0054] As a convertible implementation, it is also possible that, from top to bottom, the first drainage structure 1012, the fourth drainage structure 202, the fifth drainage structure 302 and the second drainage structure 1022 are connected in the form of sequential socketing. Specifically, the first drainage structure 1012 is socketed in the fourth drainage structure 202, the fourth drainage structure 202 is socketed in the fifth drainage structure 302, and the fifth drainage structure 302 is socketed in the second drainage structure 1022. Alternatively, the first drainage structure 1012 is socketed outside the fourth drainage structure 202, the fourth drainage structure 202 is socketed outside the fifth drainage structure 302, and the fifth drainage structure 302 is socketed outside the second drainage structure 1022. In this case, a sealing device needs to be provided at the socketing of two adjacent drainage structures to prevent water from leaking into the housing or the air duct assembly through the gap between the two adjacent drainage structures.

[0055] In order to ensure that the water inside the housing 1 can be discharged downwards, Figure 1As shown, the first drainage structure 1012 is a hollow columnar structure, and one end of the first drainage structure 1012 close to the air duct assembly is inserted into the fourth drainage structure 202. By setting the first drainage structure 1012 as a hollow columnar structure, and inserting one end of the first drainage structure 1012 into the fourth drainage structure 202, it can be ensured that the water inside the shell 1 can enter the fourth drainage structure 202 through the first drainage structure 1012, and will not accumulate inside the shell 1, thereby improving the drainage efficiency. And because the first drainage structure 1012 is inserted into the air duct assembly, when the air duct assembly is assembled to the shell 1, the first drainage structure 1012 can also play a certain pre-positioning effect, which is convenient for assembly. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the first drainage structure 1012 and the fourth drainage structure 202 are connected in a connected form. As a convertible embodiment, one end of the first drainage structure 1012 may be disposed in the air duct assembly instead of being directly inserted into the fourth drainage structure 202 , and the air duct assembly is connected to the inside to discharge the water entering the air duct assembly into the fourth drainage structure 202 .

[0056] As a convertible embodiment, one end of the first drainage structure 1012 close to the air duct assembly may extend into the fifth drainage structure 302 via the fourth drainage structure 202. By extending one end of the first drainage structure into the fifth drainage structure via the fourth drainage structure, water can be prevented from flowing into the air duct assembly through the gap between the fourth drainage structure and the fifth drainage structure, thereby affecting the discharge of water outside the housing.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the shell 1 in this embodiment includes: an upper shell 101, on which a first drainage structure 1012 is provided, and the upper shell 101 is arranged above the air duct assembly; a bottom cover 102, the bottom cover 102 is connected to the upper shell 101, the bottom cover 102 is arranged below the air duct assembly, and a second drainage structure 1022 is provided on the bottom cover 102.

[0058] The cross-sections of the first drainage structure 1012, the second drainage structure 1022, the fourth drainage structure 202, and the fifth drainage structure 302 are all circular, which is convenient for processing. Of course, the cross-sections of the first drainage structure 1012, the second drainage structure 1022, the fourth drainage structure 202, and the fifth drainage structure 302 can also be set to other shapes according to actual needs, and there is no excessive restriction here.

[0059] In order to facilitate the assembly of the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, a plurality of first limiting structures 1011 are provided on the circumference of the upper shell 101, and a second limiting structure 1021 matched with the first limiting structure 1011 is provided on the circumference of the bottom cover 102. By providing a plurality of first limiting structures 1011 on the circumference of the upper shell 101, and providing a second limiting structure 1021 matched with the first limiting structure 1011 on the circumference of the bottom cover 102, when the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102 are assembled together, the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102 can be better limited, thereby ensuring the assembly reliability of the upper shell 101 and the bottom cover 102.

[0060] Specifically, a plurality of limiting ribs are provided on the inner wall of the upper shell 101 in the circumferential direction, and a first limiting structure 1011 is provided on the limiting ribs. Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting structure 1011 is a limiting groove, and the second limiting structure 1021 is a limiting rib protruding outward along the upper edge of the bottom cover 102. As a convertible implementation, the first limiting structure 1011 can also be a limiting rib, and the second limiting structure 1021 can be a limiting groove.

[0061] The base assembly includes an upper shell 101, a first air duct 201, a second air duct 301 and a bottom cover 102, and the drainage structures thereon are combined to form a straight drainage structure from top to bottom, which can quickly drain water. At the same time, this structure is relatively simple in terms of manufacturing and assembly, easy to drain water, not easy to be blocked, and no accumulation will occur. According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a food processor is also provided, including the above-mentioned base assembly.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
