Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] This section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] A food processor such as a wall breaker, soybean milk machine, and juicer includes a base assembly and a cup assembly disposed on the base assembly. A food processor in the prior art can separate the cup assembly and the base assembly for separate cleaning. However, after the cup assembly is cleaned, the cup assembly must be correctly installed back to the base assembly so that the whole machine can work normally. At the same time, when the food processor is working, food is placed in the cup assembly. During use, the food rotates at high speed in the food processor, so the cup cover must be correctly installed in place when the food processor is working.

[0004] This requires that a detection element for detecting the cup cover and a detection element for detecting the cup body assembly be set in the food processor at the same time, which not only takes up a large space, but also increases the manufacturing cost of the food processor. In order to detect the cup body assembly and the cup cover in place at the same time, the applicant has developed a food processor, including a connector arranged on the cup body assembly, an elastic member arranged at the bottom end of the connector, and an in-place detection element arranged on the base assembly. When the cup cover is covered on the cup body assembly and the cup body assembly is correctly installed on the base assembly, the cup cover can press the connector down so that the connector can enter the sensing range of the in-place detection element, thereby detecting the cup cover in place. However, during the use of this in-place detection mechanism, the movement of the connector is unstable, and it is easy to shake or deviate, affecting the accuracy of the detection result. The water in the cup body assembly is also easy to flow to the elastic member through the connector, causing the elastic member supported at the bottom of the connector to be damp and accelerate aging, affecting the elasticity of the elastic member, resulting in affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a food processor to solve the problem that the connecting parts of the food processor in the prior art are prone to shaking or displacement during movement, and water in the cup body assembly is prone to flow onto the elastic part, causing accelerated aging of the elastic part and affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection.

[0006] The present invention provides a food processor, comprising:

[0007] A machine base assembly, on which a position detection element is formed, and the position detection element is communicatively connected with a control module of the food processor;

[0008] A cup body assembly is detachably arranged on the base assembly, and a receiving cavity with an upper opening is formed on the cup body assembly;

[0009] A connecting piece is inserted into the accommodating cavity, a mounting groove is formed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, the mounting groove is connected with the accommodating cavity, and is suitable for accommodating one end of the connecting piece close to the in-place detection element;

[0010] a supporting structure connected to one side of the connecting member;

[0011] An elastic member, which is supported between the supporting structure and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity and is located outside the mounting groove;

[0012] The cup cover is suitable for covering the cup body assembly and the connecting piece. When the cup body assembly and / or the cup cover are not installed in place, the connecting piece is suitable for leaving the sensing range of the in-place detection element. When the cup body assembly and the cup cover are both installed in place, the connecting piece is suitable for entering the sensing range of the in-place detection element.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] During use of the food processor of the present invention, when the cup body assembly is correctly placed above the machine base assembly and the cup cover is covered on the cup body assembly, the cup cover can press down the connecting piece so that the connecting piece compresses the elastic piece, and the connecting piece enters the sensing range of the in-place detection element, and the food processor is powered on and works. When the cup cover is not covered on the cup body assembly and / or the cup body assembly is separated from the machine base assembly, the elastic piece can drive the connecting piece to move upward through its own elastic restoring force, so that the connecting piece is out of the sensing range of the in-place detection element, and the food processor cannot be powered on and works, so as to avoid the food processor working when the cup cover or the cup body assembly is not installed in place, resulting in food and liquid spilling.

[0015] In addition, the mounting groove is suitable for guiding the connecting rod to a certain extent, so as to prevent the connecting part from shaking or deviating during the movement. During the use of the food processor, if the water in the cup body assembly flows onto the connecting part due to shaking or user misoperation, the water flowing onto the connecting part can also flow into the mounting groove under the guidance of the connecting part. The elastic part is located outside the mounting groove, and the mounting groove can prevent the accumulated water from spreading on the bottom wall of the cup handle, thereby preventing the water on the connecting part from contacting the elastic part, causing the elastic part to become damp and aged, affecting the elasticity of the elastic part, and further affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection. Therefore, the food processor of the present invention can not only simultaneously complete the in-place detection of the cup cover and the cup body assembly with the help of an in-place detection element, so as to reduce the number of in-place detection elements in the food processor and reduce the cost of the food processor, but also can prevent the connecting part from shaking or deviating during the movement, and prevent water from flowing onto the elastic part through the connecting part, causing the elastic part to become damp and aged, and affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the food processor further comprises:

[0017] A guide groove extending along a moving direction of the connecting member and formed on one of a side wall of the mounting groove and the connecting member;

[0018] The guide protrusion is located in the guide groove and is formed on the other of the side wall of the installation groove and the connecting piece.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] The guide protrusion and the guide groove can limit the up and down movement of the connecting piece in the cup handle to ensure that the connecting piece does not deviate or shake during movement.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the cup body assembly further includes:

[0022] Cup body;

[0023] The cup handle is connected to one side of the cup body. The cup handle is a hollow structure. A receiving cavity is formed between the cup body and the cup handle. A mounting groove is formed on the bottom wall of the cup handle. A connecting piece is arranged between the cup handle and the cup body.

[0024] Beneficial effects:

[0025] The cup handle is suitable for users to hold. When the connector is arranged between the cup body assembly and the cup handle, the space occupied by the connector is small, and the distance between the cup body assembly and the connector is small. The cup cover does not need to be arranged larger to cover the cup body assembly and the connector at the same time, thereby reducing the area of ​​the cup cover.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, a water leakage hole is formed on the bottom wall of the installation groove.

[0027] Beneficial effects:

[0028] Even if the liquid in the cup body assembly enters the cup handle during use of the food processor, the liquid in the cup handle can flow out through the drain hole under the guidance of the connector to prevent the accumulation of water in the cup handle from being difficult to clean and breeding bacteria and odor.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the cup body assembly further includes:

[0030] The cup base is sleeved on the bottom of the cup body. The cup handle includes a cup handle body and a shielding cover. A connector assembly port is formed at the bottom of the cup handle body. The shielding cover is connected to one side of the cup base and is suitable for covering the connector assembly port.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the upper end of the cup handle body is formed with a hook portion suitable for hooking the upper edge of the cup body;

[0032] The cup handle body and the shielding cover are respectively formed with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole that allow the fastener to pass through in sequence.

[0033] Beneficial effects:

[0034] The hook portion can pre-position the cup handle, so that the operator can pass the fastener through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole to fix the cup handle body with the shielding cover, which is easy to operate and has reliable limiting.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the cup body assembly further includes a decorative shell, and the decorative shell includes:

[0036] An annular main body is arranged around the cup body, and a vertically penetrating notch is provided on the annular main body;

[0037] The locking and adjusting assembly connects the annular bodies on opposite sides of the notch.

[0038] Beneficial effects:

[0039] The decorative shell is used to improve the aesthetics of the food processor. By opening a notch on the annular body of the decorative shell and arranging locking adjustment components on the annular body on both sides of the notch, the diameter of the annular body can be adjusted, thereby relaxing the requirements for the processing accuracy of the annular body and reducing the scrap rate of the decorative shell.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the connecting member passes through the notch, and a avoiding recess is provided at a position corresponding to the connecting member and the locking and adjusting assembly.

[0041] Beneficial effects:

[0042] By such arrangement, the cup handle can be used to cover the gap between the locking and adjusting components and the decorative shell, thereby further improving the aesthetics of the food processor. The avoidance groove can prevent the connection piece from interfering with the locking and adjusting components of the decorative shell.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, a through hole is formed at the top of the cup cover corresponding to the connecting piece, and a pressing protrusion suitable for inserting into the through hole is formed on the lower side of the cup cover. When the cup cover is installed in place, the connecting piece is forced to compress the elastic piece and enter the sensing range of the in-place detection element.

[0044] Beneficial effects:

[0045] This arrangement not only prevents the connecting piece from passing through the top of the cup handle to damage the aesthetics of the wall breaker, but also enables the pressing protrusion to position the cup lid while pressing the connecting piece, thereby preventing the cup lid from shifting during the use of the wall breaker.

[0046] In an optional implementation, the in-place detection element includes a reed switch, and a magnetic member is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the connecting member.

[0047] Beneficial effects:

[0048] When the cup assembly is detachably connected to the base assembly by means of a screw connection, the connector inserted into the base assembly prevents the base assembly from being screwed together with the cup assembly. This means that the cup assembly can only be screwed apart from the base assembly when the cup cover is not installed in place, which can easily cause the liquid inside the cup to spill. When installing the food processor, the user can only install the cup assembly on the base assembly first, and then put the cup cover on the cup assembly, which does not conform to the user's usage habits.

[0049] When the food processor of the present invention is in use, the connector can trigger the reed switch without contacting the reed switch, thereby preventing the connector from hindering the unscrewing or screwing together of the cup body assembly and the base assembly. The in-place detection element of the present invention can detect the in-place position of the cup cover and the cup body assembly without the bottom end of the connector contacting the in-place detection element, so that the connector will not prevent the base assembly and the cup body assembly from unscrewing or screwing together, avoiding liquid spillage when the cup body assembly is unscrewed when the cup cover is not covered on the cup body assembly, and will not limit the installation order of the cup cover and the cup body assembly, which is in line with the user's usage habits.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, when the cup body assembly is mounted on the base assembly, the magnetic member and the reed switch are offset in the horizontal direction.

[0051] Beneficial effects:

[0052] When the in-position detection element is a reed switch, the magnetic part needs to be at a certain distance from the reed switch to disconnect the induction. Therefore, if the distance between the magnetic part and the reed switch is too close, the reed switch will not be able to disconnect the induction when the magnetic part moves a small distance, and the in-position detection will be insensitive.

[0053] In this embodiment, the in-place detection element is arranged to be offset from the magnetic part in the horizontal direction. Through such an arrangement, it can be ensured that once the connecting part moves upward due to the cup cover being picked up or the cup body assembly being separated from the base assembly, the reed switch can immediately disconnect the induction, and the detection accuracy is high.

[0074] 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.

[0075] The applicant has developed a food processor, comprising a position detection element disposed on a machine base assembly and a connecting piece disposed in a cup handle. When a cup cover is covered on the cup body assembly and the cup body assembly is correctly mounted on the machine base assembly, the cup cover can press the connecting piece downward so that the connecting piece can enter the sensing range of the position detection element, thereby simultaneously detecting the position of the cup handle and the cup body assembly.

[0076] However, in order to ensure that the cup cover can press down the connecting piece while being covered on the cup body assembly, the area of ​​the cup cover needs to be set larger so as to be able to cover the cup body assembly and the connecting piece located in the handle at the same time. This results in more material consumption for the cup cover, higher manufacturing cost, and affects the aesthetics of the cup cover.

[0077] Combine the following Figures 1 to 10 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a food processor is provided, comprising a base assembly 1, a cup body assembly 2, a connector 4, a support structure 401, an elastic member 5 and a cup cover 6. Among them, a position detection element 7 is formed on the base assembly 1. The position detection element 7 is communicatively connected to the control module of the food processor. The cup body assembly 2 is detachably arranged on the base assembly 1. A receiving cavity 203 with an upper end opening is formed on the cup body assembly 2. The connector 4 is inserted into the receiving cavity 203. A mounting groove 3041 is formed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 203. The mounting groove 3041 is connected to the receiving cavity 203 and is suitable for accommodating one end of the connector 4 close to the position detection element 7. The support structure 401 is connected to one side of the connector 4. The elastic member 5 is supported between the support structure 401 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 203, and is located outside the mounting groove 3041.

[0079] The cup cover 6 is suitable for covering the cup body assembly 2 and the connecting member 4. When the cup body assembly 2 and / or the cup cover 6 are not installed in place, the connecting member 4 is suitable for leaving the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7 (see Figure 3 and Fig. 9 ), when the cup body assembly 2 and the cup cover 6 are both installed in place, the connector 4 is adapted to enter the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7 (see Figure 1 and Figure 8 ).

[0080] During use of the food processor of the present invention, when the cup body assembly 2 is correctly placed on top of the machine base assembly 1 and the cup cover is covered on the cup body assembly, the cup cover 6 can press down the connector 4 so that the connector 4 compresses the elastic member 5, and the connector 4 enters the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7, and the food processor is powered on and works. When the cup cover 6 is not covered on the cup body assembly 2 and / or the cup body assembly 2 is separated from the machine base assembly 1, the elastic member 5 can drive the connector 4 to move upward through its own elastic restoring force, so that the connector 4 is out of the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7, and the food processor cannot be powered on and works, so as to avoid the food processor from working when the cup cover 6 or the cup body assembly 2 is not installed in place, causing food and liquid to spill.

[0081] In addition, the mounting groove 3041 is suitable for guiding the connector 4 to prevent the connector 4 from shaking or shifting during movement. During the use of the food processor, if the water in the cup body assembly 2 flows onto the connector 4 due to shaking or user misoperation, the water flowing onto the connector 4 can also flow into the mounting groove 3041 under the guidance of the connector 4. The elastic member 5 is located outside the mounting groove 3041, and the mounting groove 3041 can prevent the accumulated water from spreading on the bottom wall of the cup handle 3, thereby preventing the water on the connector 4 from contacting the elastic member 5, causing the elastic member 5 to be damp and aged, affecting the elasticity of the elastic member 5, and further affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection. The elastic member 5 is preferably, but not limited to, a spring or an elastic rubber plug. Therefore, the food processor of the present invention can not only simultaneously complete the in-place detection of the cup cover 6 and the cup body assembly 2 with the help of an in-place detection element 7, so as to reduce the number of in-place detection elements in the food processor and reduce the cost of the food processor, but also can prevent the connecting member 4 from shaking or shifting during movement, and prevent water from flowing through the connecting member 4 onto the elastic member 5, causing the elastic member 5 to become damp and aged, thereby affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection.

[0082] The connecting member 4 is preferably, but not limited to, a strip, a column or a rod, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the connecting member 4 is a connecting member 4 extending into the cup handle 3. The control module may include a programmable logic control component (such as a PLC or a CPU), a memory, and electronic components connected to the programmable logic control component, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] In one embodiment, the food processor further includes a guide groove 3042 and a guide protrusion 402. The guide groove 3042 extends along the movement direction of the connecting member 4 and is formed on one of the side wall of the mounting groove 3041 and the connecting member 4. The guide protrusion 402 is located in the guide groove 3042 and is formed on the other of the side wall of the mounting groove 3041 and the connecting member 4.

[0084] The guide protrusion 402 and the guide groove can limit the up and down movement of the connecting member 4 in the cup handle 3 to ensure that the connecting member 4 does not deviate or shake during movement. For example, in this embodiment, the guide protrusion 402 is a positioning rib formed on the connecting member 4. The guide groove is a limiting groove provided on the side wall of the installation groove 3041. The positioning rib is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0085] In one embodiment, the cup body assembly further includes a cup body 201 and a cup handle 3. The cup handle 3 is connected to one side of the cup body 201. The cup handle 3 is a hollow structure, the accommodating cavity 203 is formed between the cup body 201 and the cup handle 3, the mounting groove 3041 is formed on the bottom wall of the cup handle 3, and the connecting piece is arranged between the cup handle 3 and the cup body.

[0086] The cup handle 3 is suitable for the user to hold. When the connector 4 is arranged between the cup body assembly 2 and the cup handle 3, the space occupied by the connector 4 is small, and the distance between the cup body assembly 2 and the connector 4 is small. The cup cover 6 can cover the cup body assembly 2 and the connector 4 at the same time without being arranged large, thereby reducing the area of ​​the cup cover 6. The food processor of the present invention arranges the connector 4 between the cup handle 3 and the cup body assembly 2, and the in-place detection element 7 is connected to the control module of the food processor in communication. When the cup cover 6 and the cup body assembly 2 of the food processor are both installed in place, the food processor can work normally, so as to avoid the food processor working when the cup cover 6 or the cup body assembly 2 is not installed in place, resulting in food and liquid overflow. In one embodiment, a water leakage hole 3043 is formed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 3041. Even if the liquid in the cup body assembly 2 enters the cup handle during the use of the food processor, the liquid entering the cup handle 3 can also flow out through the water leakage hole 3043 under the guidance of the connector 4, so as to avoid the accumulation of water in the cup handle 3 being difficult to clean, breeding bacteria and odor.

[0087] In one embodiment, the cup body assembly 2 further includes a cup holder 202. The cup holder 202 is sleeved on the bottom of the cup body 201. The cup handle 3 includes a cup handle body and a shielding cover 304. A connector assembly port is formed at the bottom of the cup handle body. The shielding cover 304 is connected to one side of the cup holder 202 and is suitable for covering the connector assembly port. The connector assembly port is suitable for allowing structures such as the connector 4 and the elastic member 5 to be installed in the cup handle 3. The connector 4 and the elastic member 5 can be installed in the cup handle 3 through the connector assembly port.

[0088] The cup handle 3 of the food processor in the prior art includes a glass cup handle integrally formed on the cup body 201, and an injection molded cup handle 3 buckled on both sides of the glass cup handle. The connecting piece 4 is generally installed between the injection molded cup handle 3 and the glass cup handle, which requires the volume of the injection molded cup handle 3 to be set larger to accommodate the connecting piece 4, the glass cup handle and the elastic piece 5 at the same time, which results in a large number of parts in the cup handle 3, which not only makes it difficult to assemble the cup handle 3, but also the location where the elastic piece 5 is installed often forms a convex portion on the surface of the food processor, resulting in damage to the aesthetics of the food processor.

[0089] The food processor of the present invention eliminates the glass handle in the original cup body assembly 2, and instead connects the injection molded cup handle 3 detachably to one side of the cup body assembly 2. This eliminates the need to simultaneously accommodate structures such as the glass handle and the connector 4 in the cup handle 3, thereby avoiding the formation of a convex portion on the surface of the food processor due to too many structures contained in the cup handle 3, and helps to improve the aesthetics of the food processor.

[0090] In one embodiment, a hook portion 302 is formed at the upper end of the cup handle body, which is suitable for hooking the upper edge of the cup body 201;

[0091] The cup handle body and the shielding cover 304 are respectively formed with a first connection hole 3044 and a second connection hole 303 that allow the fastener to pass through in sequence. The hook portion can pre-position the cup handle, so that the operator can pass the fastener through the first connection hole and the second connection hole to fix the cup handle body and the shielding cover 304, which is easy to operate and reliable in limiting.

[0092] In one embodiment, the cup body assembly 2 also includes a decorative shell, and the decorative shell includes an annular main body and a locking and adjusting assembly 8. The annular main body is arranged around the outside of the cup body 201. A vertically penetrating notch is provided on the annular main body. The locking and adjusting assembly 8 connects the annular main bodies on opposite sides of the notch. The decorative shell is used to enhance the aesthetics of the food processor. By providing a notch on the annular main body of the decorative shell and arranging the locking and adjusting assemblies 8 on the annular main bodies on both sides of the notch, the diameter of the annular main body can be adjusted, thereby relaxing the requirements for the processing accuracy of the annular main body and reducing the scrap rate of the decorative shell.

[0093] In one embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 4 passes through the gap, and a relief recess 404 is provided at the connector 4 corresponding to the locking and adjusting assembly 8. By so configuring, the cup handle can be used to cover the gap between the locking and adjusting assembly 8 and the decorative shell, thereby further improving the aesthetics of the food processor. The relief recess can prevent the connector 4 from interfering with the locking and adjusting assembly 8 of the decorative shell.

[0094] As a convertible implementation, the in-position detection element 7 can also be arranged directly below the connecting member 4 .

[0095] In one embodiment, a through hole is formed at the top of the cup cover 6 corresponding to the connector 4, and a pressing protrusion 601 suitable for inserting into the through hole is formed on the lower side of the cup cover 6. The lower cover body of the cup cover 6 protrudes downward to form the pressing protrusion 601. When the cup cover 6 is installed in place, the pressing protrusion 601 is suitable for inserting into the through hole and compressing the connector 4. The connector 4 is forced to compress the elastic member 5 and enter the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7. When the cup cover 6 is removed from the cup body assembly 2, the pressing protrusion 601 is suitable for disengaging from the through hole, and the elastic member 5 supports the connector 4 through its own elastic restoring force, so that the connector 4 is out of the sensing range of the in-place detection element 7. By such a configuration, not only is it avoided that the connector 4 passes through the top of the cup handle 3 to destroy the aesthetics of the wall breaking machine, but the pressing protrusion 601 can also play a role in positioning the cup cover 6 while pressing the connector 4, so as to avoid the cup cover 6 from shifting during the use of the wall breaking machine.

[0096] As a convertible embodiment, the connecting member 4 can be configured to pass through the upper end of the cup handle 3 when the cup cover 6 is not installed in place. After the cup cover 6 is covered on the cup body assembly 2 and the cup cover 6, the connecting member 4 is pressed and flush with the upper end of the cup handle 3.

[0097] The in-place detection element 7 may be selected as a Hall element or a push switch. When the in-place detection element 7 is selected as a push switch, the connector 4 needs to be inserted into the base assembly 1 to trigger the push switch. When the cup body assembly 2 is detachably connected to the base assembly 1 by a rotational connection, the connector 4 inserted into the base assembly 1 will prevent the base assembly 1 from unscrewing or screwing together with the cup body assembly 2. This means that the cup body assembly 2 can only be unscrewed from the base assembly 1 when the cup cover 6 is not installed in place, which can easily cause the liquid inside the cup body 201 to spill. When installing the food processor, the user can only install the cup body assembly 2 on the base assembly 1 first, and then cover the cup cover 6 on the cup body assembly 2, which does not conform to the user's usage habits.

[0098] In one embodiment, the in-position detection element 7 includes a reed switch, and a magnetic member 403 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the connecting member 4 .

[0099] By such a configuration, the connector 4 can trigger the reed switch without contacting the reed switch, thereby preventing the connector 4 from hindering the unscrewing or screwing-in of the cup body assembly 2 and the base assembly 1. The in-place detection element 7 of the present invention can detect the cup cover 6 and the cup body assembly 2 in place without the bottom end of the connector 4 contacting the in-place detection element 7, so that the connector 4 will not prevent the base assembly 1 and the cup body assembly 2 from unscrewing or screwing-in, avoiding the spillage of liquid caused by unscrewing the cup body assembly 2 when the cup cover 6 is not covered on the cup body assembly 2, and will not limit the installation order of the cup cover 6 and the cup body assembly 2, which is in line with the user's usage habits.

[0100] In one embodiment, a magnetic member 403 limiting portion is formed at the bottom of the connecting member 4, and the magnetic member 403 is limited at the magnetic member 403 limiting portion. Preferably, in this embodiment, the limiting portion and the positioning rib are located on two opposite sides of the connecting member 4.

[0101] As a convertible implementation, the magnetic member 403 and the bottom of the connecting member 4 are connected as one body by injection molding.

[0102] In one embodiment, when the cup body assembly 2 is mounted on the base assembly 1, the magnetic member 403 and the reed switch are offset in the horizontal direction. Since the magnetic member 403 needs to be spaced a certain distance from the reed switch to enable the reed switch to disconnect the induction. Therefore, if the distance between the magnetic member 403 and the reed switch is too close, the reed switch will not be able to disconnect the induction when the magnetic member 403 moves a small distance, and the in-position detection is not sensitive.

[0103] In this embodiment, the reed switch is arranged to be slightly offset from the bottom end of the magnetic member 403. By so arranging, it can be ensured that once the connecting member 4 moves upward due to the cup cover 6 being picked up or the cup body assembly 2 being separated from the base assembly 1, the reed switch can immediately disconnect the induction, and the detection accuracy is high. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, d1 is the distance between the magnetic member 403 and the middle of the motor 101, and d2 is the distance between the in-position detection element 7 and the middle of the motor 101. In this embodiment, d2>d1, which can not only make the reed switch and the magnetic member 403 staggered, but also make the distance between the reed switch and the motor 101 larger, so as to reduce the interference of the magnetic field of the motor 101 on the reed switch.

[0104] In summary, the food processor of the present invention can not only simultaneously complete the in-place detection of the cup cover 6 and the cup body assembly 2 with the help of an in-place detection element 7, so as to reduce the number of in-place detection elements in the food processor and reduce the cost of the food processor, but also can prevent the connecting part 4 from shaking or shifting during movement, and prevent water from flowing through the connecting part 4 to the elastic part 5, causing the elastic part 5 to become damp and aged, thereby affecting the accuracy of the in-place detection.
