[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the food processor 100 can be used to cut food ingredients such as vegetables and fruits. The food processor 100 includes a body 10, a processing assembly 20, and a feeding assembly 30. The body 10 includes a body frame 11 and a motor 12 disposed on the body frame 11, and the body frame 11 is further provided with a bottom cover 18.
[0026] The processing assembly 20 is disposed on the body frame 11, and the processing assembly 20 includes a working housing 21 and a cutter set 22 disposed in the working housing 21. The motor shaft of the motor 12 is connected to the cutter set 22 to drive the cutter set 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the cutting of food ingredients. The feeding assembly 30 is disposed on the working housing 21, and the feeding assembly 30 includes a feeding cylinder 31 and a feeding cover 32. The cavity of the feeding cylinder 31 communicates with the cavity of the working housing 21. When the user feeds, the feeding cover 32 is first opened, and then the food ingredients are put into the feeding cylinder 31, and the food ingredients fall from the feeding cylinder 31 to the cutter set 22 in the working housing 21. In the illustrated embodiment, the feeding assembly 30 further includes a pressing rod 39, and the pressing rod 39 is used to push the food ingredients in the feeding cylinder 31 downward.
[0027] Among them, the feeding cylinder 31 is provided with a first connecting rod 33, the fuselage 11 is provided with a second connecting rod 13, an elastic member 14 and a safety switch 15. The elastic member 14 applies an upward elastic force to the second connecting rod 13, so that the second connecting rod 13 abuts upward against the first connecting rod 33. When the feeding cover 32 is covered on the feeding cylinder 31, the first connecting rod 33 pushes the second connecting rod 13 to move downward. During this process, the elastic member 14 is compressed, and the second connecting rod 13 triggers the safety switch 15, so that the safety switch 15 connects the power supply circuit of the processor. When the feeding cover 32 is opened, the elastic force of the elastic member 14 pushes the second connecting rod 13 to move upward, and the second connecting rod 13 then pushes the first connecting rod 33 to move upward. At this time, the safety switch 15 disconnects the power supply circuit of the processor, and the food processor 100 cannot continue to work. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 14 is a spring, but it is not limited thereto.
[0028] By providing the first connecting rod 33 on the feeding cylinder 31 and the second connecting rod 13, the elastic member 14 and the safety switch 15 on the fuselage 11, only when the feeding cover 32 is covered on the feeding cylinder 31, the feeding cover 32 causes the first connecting rod 33 to push the second connecting rod 13 to move downward, so that the second connecting rod 13 triggers the safety switch 15, and the safety switch 15 connects the power supply circuit of the processor. Only at this time can the food processor 100 start and work. When the feeding cover 32 is not covered on the feeding cylinder 31, the second connecting rod 13 cannot trigger the safety switch 15, and at this time the food processor 100 cannot start. In this way, it can well avoid the situation that the food processor 100 starts to work when the feeding cover 32 is not covered on the feeding cylinder 31, thereby eliminating the potential safety hazards in use.
[0029] A through hole 111 is provided on the front wall of the fuselage 11. The working housing 21 includes a limiting protrusion 211 passing through the through hole 111, and the limiting protrusion 211 is provided with a limiting hole 212 or a limiting groove. The second connecting rod 13 is snapped into the limiting hole 212 or the limiting groove while triggering the safety switch 15. In this way, when the feeding cover 32 is covered on the feeding cylinder 31, the safety switch 15 is triggered, and at the same time the second connecting rod 13 is snapped into the limiting hole 212 or the limiting groove, so as to limit the processing assembly 20 on the fuselage 11, and thus the structure of the food processor 100 is more reliable.
[0030] In one embodiment, the second connecting rod 13 includes a convex portion 131 that is snapped into the limiting hole 212. By providing the convex portion 131, it is more convenient to be snapped into the limiting hole 212. A clearance fit is provided between the convex portion 131 and the limiting hole 212.
[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the front wall of the fuselage 11 is provided with two through holes 111. The working housing 21 includes two limiting protrusions 211 respectively passing through the two through holes 111, and the two limiting protrusions 211 are respectively provided with limiting holes 212. The second connecting rod 13 includes two arm portions 132 and two convex portions 131 respectively disposed at the ends of the two arm portions 132. When the second connecting rod 13 triggers the safety switch 15, the two convex portions 131 are respectively snapped into the two limiting holes 212. In this way, by the cooperation of the two convex portions 131 and the two limiting holes 212 respectively, the processing assembly 20 can be more reliably limited on the fuselage 11, so that the structure of the food processor 100 is more stable and reliable. In another embodiment, the front wall of the fuselage 11 is provided with one through hole 111. The working housing 21 includes one limiting protrusion 211, and the limiting protrusion 211 is provided with one limiting hole 212. The second connecting rod 13 includes one arm portion 132 and one convex portion 131 disposed at the end of the arm portion 132. When the second connecting rod 13 triggers the safety switch 15, the one convex portion 131 is snapped into the one limiting hole 212. The above are only some examples and are not limited to the above examples.
[0032] The feeding cylinder 31 is provided with a connecting rod cavity 311, and the first connecting rod 33 is disposed in the connecting rod cavity 311 in a vertically movable manner.

[0033] The second connecting rod 13 is provided with a guide groove 136, and the fuselage 11 is correspondingly provided with a guiding portion 116 that is slidably engaged with the guide groove 136. By the cooperation of the guiding portion 116 and the guide groove 136, the vertical movement of the second connecting rod 13 can be more reliably limited. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 14 is placed above the guiding portion 116, and both ends of the elastic member 14 respectively abut against the guiding portion 116 and the top wall of the guide groove 136, so as to apply an upward elastic force to the second connecting rod 13.
[0034] A bracket 16 is provided in the fuselage 11, and the safety switch 15 is assembled on the bracket 16. In this way, the assembly of the safety switch 15 is made more convenient. In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket 16 is further provided with a blocking arm 166, and the blocking arm 166 limits the second connecting rod 13 to the guiding portion 116.
[0035] The feeding cover 32 is rotatably assembled to the feeding cylinder 31, and the feeding cover 32 includes a boss 35. When the feeding cover 32 is rotated to cover the feeding cylinder 31, the boss 35 presses downward against the first connecting rod 33, causing the first connecting rod 33 to push the second connecting rod 13 to move downward. In this way, it is very convenient to open and close the feeding cover 32, and by setting the boss 35, it can more reliably press downward against the pressing link 33. In the illustrated embodiment, the feeding cover 32 is rotatably assembled to the feeding cylinder 31 through a pin shaft 38, but it is not limited thereto. One end of the feeding cover 32 opposite to the pin shaft 38 is fastened to the feeding cylinder 31 through a buckle or other structure.
[0036] The second connecting rod 13 includes a triggering portion 133 for triggering the safety switch 15. By providing the triggering portion 133, the safety switch 15 can be triggered more reliably.
