Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Related art provides a baby food maker with stirring and steaming functions. The maker includes a cup, a stirring component, and a steam generating component. The stirring component is located within the cup to stir the food within the cup. The steam generating component is located horizontally on the side of the cup and delivers hot steam from the top of the cup into the cup to heat the food within.

[0003] The baby food maker provided by the above-mentioned related technology has the following shortcomings in specific applications: Since the density of hot steam is lower than that of cold air, when hot steam enters the cup body from the top of the cup body, it will naturally tend to rise, resulting in the hot steam being mainly concentrated on the upper layer of food in the cup body, making it difficult to effectively heat the lower layer of food in the cup body. This will, on the one hand, cause the food in the cup body to be heated unevenly, and then lead to the problem of inconsistent maturity of the food in the cup body, and even the problem of the lower layer of food not being steamed, which seriously affects the user's satisfaction with the product; on the other hand, since the steam exhaust port on the cup body is also at the top of the cup body, it is easy for some hot steam to enter the cup body from the top of the cup body and then be discharged directly from the steam exhaust port outside the cup body, which seriously affects the utilization rate of hot steam, resulting in energy waste and reduced food steaming efficiency. In addition, the steam generating component and the cup body are arranged horizontally, which will cause the baby food maker to occupy a large horizontal space, which is not conducive to the application of the baby food maker in small space scenarios.

[0063] Reference Figure 1As shown, the food supplement machine 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is a kitchen appliance for preparing food supplements. It is mainly used to make food into puree or paste.

[0064] As an embodiment, the food supplement machine 10 provided in this embodiment is a pet food supplement machine, that is, the food supplement machine 10 is used to prepare pet food supplement, which can meet the needs of users to prepare pet food supplement at home, so that pets can eat fresh, freshly made food. Of course, in specific applications, the food supplement machine 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention is not limited to pet food supplement machines, and can also be a human food supplement machine, which can be used to prepare human food supplement, such as preparing food supplement suitable for mothers and infants, the elderly, and patients.

[0065] As an implementation mode, the baby food machine 10 provided in this embodiment is a steaming and stirring all-in-one machine, that is, the baby food machine 10 integrates the functions of steaming food and stirring food at the same time, and is mainly used for steaming and stirring food into fine pureed food or paste-like food.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as an embodiment, the baby food machine 10 provided in this embodiment includes a cup body 100, a stirring component 200, a motor 300 and a steam generating component 400. Among them, the cup body 100 is used to accommodate food. The stirring component 200 is used to stir the food in the cup body 100. The motor 300 is transmission-connected to the stirring component 200 to drive the stirring component 200 to rotate. The steam generating component 400 is used to generate hot steam for heating the food in the cup body 100 by hot steam, thereby steaming the food. The cup body 100 is mainly used to provide a place to accommodate food. The stirring component 200 and the motor 300 are mainly used to realize the stirring function of food. The steam generating component 400 is mainly used to realize the steaming function of food.

[0067] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, as an embodiment, the cup body 100 is formed with an inner cavity 1111, and the inner cavity 1111 is used to accommodate food. The stirring component 200 is at least partially rotatably disposed in the inner cavity 1111, and is used to stir the food in the inner cavity 1111. The motor 300 is transmission-connected to the stirring component 200 to drive the stirring component 200 to rotate. The steam generating component 400 is formed with a steam outlet 4111, and the steam outlet 4111 is connected to the inner cavity 1111. The steam outlet 4111 is used to deliver hot steam to the inner cavity 1111 to heat the food in the inner cavity 1111.

[0068] Reference Figures 3 to 5As shown, as an embodiment, the cup body 100 includes a container body 110 and a support column 120. The container body 110 forms an inner cavity 1111 for accommodating food. The support column 120 is at least partially protruded within the inner cavity 1111, that is, the support column 120 can be only partially located within the inner cavity 1111 and the portion extends and protrudes within the inner cavity 1111, or the support column 120 can be completely located within the inner cavity 1111 and the support column 120 can be completely extended and protruded within the inner cavity 1111. The stirring member 200 is at least partially disposed within the inner cavity 1111, that is, the stirring member 200 can be only partially disposed within the inner cavity 1111, or the stirring member 200 can be completely disposed within the inner cavity 1111. The stirring member 200 is rotatably supported on the support column 120 to stir the food in the inner cavity 1111. That is, the stirring member 200 is supported on the support column 120 and can rotate relative to the support column 120 under the drive of the motor 300 to stir the food in the inner cavity 1111 by rotating. In this embodiment, the stirring member 200 is supported by the support column 120 in the cup body 100, without providing other components outside the cup body 100 to support the stirring member 200, which is conducive to improving the auxiliary food machine 10 (refer to Figure 1 The structure of the stirring member 200 is compact and helps to simplify the installation structure.

[0069] Reference Figures 3 to 7As shown, as an embodiment, the support column 120 is formed with a first steam channel 121 and a steam guide hole 122. The first steam channel 121 extends axially along the support column 120, and the steam guide hole 122 extends from the outer wall of the support column 120 and connects to the first steam channel 121. The stirring member 200 and the support column 120 enclose a second steam channel 201, which is connected to the steam guide hole 122 and extends toward the bottom of the inner cavity 1111. The steam generating member 400 is formed with a steam outlet 4111, which is connected to the first steam channel 121. The steam outlet 4111 is used to allow hot steam flowing out of the steam generating member 400 to flow into the inner cavity 1111 through the first steam channel 121, the steam guide hole 122, and the second steam channel 201 in sequence, thereby heating the food in the inner cavity 1111. The support column 120 extends vertically and protrudes from the inner cavity 1111. The axial direction of the support column 120 is the vertical direction, that is, the height direction of the baby food machine 10. The first steam flow channel 121 extends vertically from bottom to top. The steam guide hole 122 is a lateral opening opened in the support column 120 to connect the inside and outside of the support column 120. The second steam flow channel 201 extends toward the bottom of the inner cavity 1111, so that the hot steam entering the second steam flow channel 201 from the steam guide hole 122 flows from top to bottom into the interior of the inner cavity 1111. Specifically, the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 will first enter the first steam flow channel 121 from the steam outlet 4111, then flow upward along the first steam flow channel 121 to the steam guide hole 122, enter the second steam flow channel 201 from the steam guide hole 122, and then flow downward from the top to the bottom of the inner cavity 1111 under the guidance of the second steam flow channel 201. As a result, the hot steam entering the inner cavity 1111 will first contact the lower layer of food in the inner cavity 1111, and then gradually penetrate upward to the upper layer of food. In this way, on the one hand, it is ensured that the hot steam entering the cup body 100 can effectively heat the lower layer of food in the cup body 100, and it is conducive to improving the uniformity of heating the food in the cup body 100. On the other hand, because the hot steam entering the cup body 100 gradually flows upward from the lower layer of food in the cup body 100, it can fully contact the food in the cup body 100 to exchange heat before being discharged from the cup body 100, thereby improving the utilization rate of the hot steam and helping to avoid energy waste. In addition, this embodiment utilizes the internal space of the support column 120 for supporting the stirring component 200 to form a first steam flow channel 121 to guide the hot steam to flow from bottom to top, and guides the hot steam to the second steam flow channel 201 through the steam guide hole 122, so that the structure of the baby food machine 10 is relatively compact, and the internal space of the support column 120 can be utilized to form a larger first steam flow channel 121, which is conducive to ensuring a larger delivery volume of hot steam, so that the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 can quickly pass through the first steam flow channel 121 into the second steam flow channel 201, which is conducive to ensuring the steaming efficiency of food.In this embodiment, the second steam flow channel 201 is formed by the stirring component 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative embodiment, the second steam flow channel 201 can also be formed by the stirring component 200 alone, that is, the stirring component 200 is formed with the second steam flow channel 201.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, as an embodiment, the motor 300 is located above the cup body 100, that is, the motor 300 is transmission-connected to the stirring component 200 from above the cup body 100. In the related art prior to this application, the motor 300 is located below the cup body 100. Specifically, the motor 300 is located below the cup body 100. In specific applications, there are the following shortcomings: on the one hand, the portion of the baby food maker 10 below the cup body 100 is relatively high, and the height position of the cup body 100 is relatively high, which is inconvenient for users to operate; on the other hand, it affects the overall heat dissipation effect of the baby food maker 10. In this embodiment, the motor 300 is arranged above the cup body 100. In this way, on the one hand, it is helpful to lower the height of the part of the baby food maker 10 below the cup body 100 and lower the height position of the cup body 100, so as to facilitate the user to take and put food in the cup body 100. On the other hand, it is helpful to keep the motor 300 away from other heat sources of the baby food maker 10, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the motor 300. On the other hand, arranging the motor 300 above the cup body 100 can reduce the horizontal occupied space of the baby food maker 10 and simplify the transmission mechanism between the motor 300 and the stirring component 200, compared with the solution of arranging the motor 300 on the horizontal side of the cup body 100.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, as an embodiment, the steam generating component 400 is located below the cup body 100, that is, the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 are arranged vertically along the height direction of the baby food maker 10. With this arrangement, the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 can flow naturally from bottom to top to the first steam flow channel 121 without the need for power, thereby simplifying the structure of the baby food maker 10 and reducing the cost of the baby food maker 10. In addition, by arranging the motor 300 above the cup body 100 and arranging the steam generating component 400 below the cup body 100, the motor 300 can be arranged away from the steam generating component 400. In this way, on the one hand, since the motor 300 and the steam generating component 400 will generate a large amount of heat when working, arranging the motor 300 away from the steam generating component 400 can be beneficial to the separate heat dissipation of the motor 300 and the steam generating component 400, thereby helping to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the motor 300 and the steam generating component 400; on the other hand, the waterproof design requirements for the installation of the motor 300 can be reduced; on the other hand, compared with the solution of arranging the steam generating component 400 on the horizontal side of the cup body 100, locating the steam generating component 400 below the cup body 100 can help to reduce the horizontal occupied space of the baby food machine 10.

[0072] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, as an embodiment, a second steam channel 201 is formed between the inner wall of the stirring member 200 and the outer wall of the support column 120. In this embodiment, the second steam channel 201 is formed in a simple manner, which helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the stirring member 200 and the support column 120.

[0073] As an embodiment, the first steam flow channel 121 extends along the central axis of the support column 120, that is, the first steam flow channel 121 extends from bottom to top along the center of the support column 120. In this embodiment, the support column 120 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the first steam flow channel 121 is formed by utilizing the hollow portion of the support column 120. This, on the one hand, is conducive to forming a larger first steam flow channel 121, and allows hot steam to flow quickly and unimpeded in the first steam flow channel 121, which is conducive to ensuring the steaming efficiency of food; on the other hand, it is convenient for processing and manufacturing the first steam flow channel 121; and on the other hand, it is conducive to ensuring the uniformity of the wall thickness of the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the first steam flow channel 121 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the first steam flow channel 121 is an annular groove provided between the central axis of the support column 120 and the outer wall of the support column 120, or a plurality of holes spaced apart around the central axis of the support column 120.

[0074] Reference Figures 3 to 5As shown, as an embodiment, the first steam channel 121 extends upward from the bottom end of the support column 120 along the axial direction of the support column 120, that is, the bottom end of the support column 120 is open, and the first steam channel 121 is provided through the bottom end of the support column 120. The first steam channel 121 has a downwardly disposed steam inlet 1211, which is directly opposite and connected to the steam outlet 4111. This, on the one hand, facilitates the smoother and faster entry of hot steam into the first steam channel 121, and on the other hand, facilitates the processing of the support column 120. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative embodiment, the support column 120 can also be configured as a structure with a closed bottom end, and a lateral opening is provided on the outer wall of the support column 120 near the bottom end of the support column 120 to form the steam inlet 1211 of the first steam channel 121. In this alternative embodiment, to form the first steam channel 121, the support column 120 can be designed to be formed by splicing two left and right parts.

[0075] As an embodiment, the stirring component 200 is rotatably supported on the top of the support column 120. That is, the stirring component 200 is connected to the top of the support column 120, so that the support column 120 supports the stirring component 200 and the stirring component 200 is rotatably connected to the support column 120. This allows the connection point between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120 to be positioned slightly upward. When the motor 300 is positioned above the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 is positioned below the cup body 100, and the stirring component 200 is rotatably supported on the top of the support column 120, this can help reduce the distance between the connection point between the stirring component 200 and the motor 300 and the connection point between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120, thereby helping to reduce the weight of the stirring component 200 and further helping to ensure the smooth rotation of the stirring component 200 driven by the motor 300.

[0076] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as an embodiment, the stirring member 200 is rotatably connected to the top of the support column 120, that is, the stirring member 200 is supported on the support column 120 and is rotatably connected to the support column 120 by directly contacting the top of the support column 120. This can help simplify the connection structure between the stirring member 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the stirring member 200 can also be rotatably connected to other parts of the support column 120 via a bearing.

[0077] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, as an embodiment, the top end of the support column 120 is closed, that is, the first steam flow channel 121 is a blind hole formed on the support column 120. In this embodiment, the first steam flow channel 121 does not penetrate the top end of the support column 120. This helps the top end of the support column 120 have a certain surface area for contact with the stirring member 200 and helps prevent the hot steam from exerting upward pressure on the stirring member 200, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the stirring member 200 and the support column 120.

[0078] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, as an embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 extends radially along the support column 120, that is, the steam guide hole 122 extends horizontally, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the steam guide hole 122. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 can also extend obliquely to form a certain angle relative to the horizontal direction.

[0079] As an embodiment, the distance from the steam guide hole 122 to the top end of the support column 120 is smaller than the distance to the bottom end of the support column 120, that is, the steam guide hole 122 is formed in the upper half of the support column 120. In this way, the steam guide hole 122 is arranged closer to the top end of the second steam flow channel 201, thereby helping to reduce the retention area formed by the second steam flow channel 201 (that is, the dead corner, the space where hot steam will stay for a long time after entering without flowing), and thus helping to improve the utilization rate of the hot steam.

[0080] As an embodiment, the distance from the steam guide hole 122 to the bottom end of the support column 120 is greater than or equal to two-thirds of the height of the support column 120, which is conducive to further setting the steam guide hole 122 close to the top end of the second steam flow channel 201, thereby helping to further reduce the stagnation area formed by the second steam flow channel 201.

[0081] As an embodiment, the second steam flow channel 201 extends from the steam guide hole 122 toward the bottom of the inner cavity 1111, that is, the top of the second steam flow channel 201 is connected to the steam guide hole 122. In this way, the hot steam discharged from the steam guide hole 122 can flow directly downward along the second steam flow channel 201 to the inner cavity 1111. The second steam flow channel 201 does not form a stagnation area where the heating steam flows upward, thereby greatly ensuring the utilization rate of the hot steam. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 may not be connected to the top of the second steam flow channel 201, but may be spaced a certain distance from the top of the second steam flow channel 201 to allow a certain stagnation area to exist in the upper part of the second steam flow channel 201.

[0082] As an embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 is connected to the top of the first steam flow channel 121. This can help reduce the stagnation area of the first steam flow channel 121, thereby greatly ensuring the utilization rate of the hot steam and reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the steam guide hole 122. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 may not be connected to the top of the first steam flow channel 121, but may be spaced a certain distance from the top of the first steam flow channel 121 to allow a certain stagnation area to exist above the first steam flow channel 121.

[0083] As an embodiment, there are multiple steam guide holes 122, and at least two steam guide holes 122 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support column 120. This is conducive to accelerating the flow rate of hot steam from the first steam flow channel 121 into the second steam flow channel 201, and is conducive to improving the uniformity of hot steam distribution.

[0084] In one embodiment, all steam guide holes 122 are spaced apart along the circumference of the support column 120, that is, all steam guide holes 122 are spaced apart along the same circumference. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the multiple steam guide holes 122 and helps ensure uniform distribution of the hot steam discharged from the multiple steam guide holes 122. Of course, in specific applications, the distribution of the multiple steam guide holes 122 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, at least two steam guide holes 122 may be spaced apart along the axial direction of the support column 120.

[0085] As an embodiment, the number of the steam guide holes 122 is three, and the three steam guide holes 122 are spaced apart along the circumference of the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the number and distribution of the steam guide holes 122 are not limited thereto. For example, the number of the steam guide holes 122 may also be two, four, five, or more. Of the plurality of steam guide holes 122, some may be spaced apart along the circumference of the support column 120, while some may be spaced apart along the axial direction of the support column 120.

[0086] As an embodiment, the support column 120 is detachably connected to the container body 110, that is, the support column 120 is detachably connected to the container body 110, which specifically means that the support column 120 can be connected to the container body 110, and the support column 120 can be removed from the container body 110 without damaging the support column 120 and the container body 110, so as to separate the support column 120 from the container body 110. In this embodiment, the support column 120 and the container body 110 are two separately manufactured and formed components, and are assembled together by a detachable connection. This helps reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the support column 120 and the container body 110, and facilitates the later disassembly and maintenance of the support column 120 and the container body 110. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the support column 120 and the container body 110 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the support column 120 and the container body 110 can also be manufactured and formed as one piece, that is, the support column 120 and the container body 110 are a component formed by mold processing; or, as another alternative embodiment, the support column 120 and the container body 110 can also be manufactured and formed separately, and then connected in a non-detachable manner, such as bonding, welding, or welding.

[0087] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, as an embodiment, the support column 120 includes a main body 123 and a spherical head 124. The spherical head 124 is provided at the top of the main body 123 and has a first spherical surface 1241 formed thereon. The first steam flow channel 121 extends from the main body 123 to the spherical head 124. The steam guide hole 122 extends from the first spherical surface 1241 and the outer wall of the main body 123 to communicate with the first steam flow channel 121. The stirring member 200 is rotatably supported on the spherical head 124. In this embodiment, the first spherical surface 1241 is formed at the top of the support column 120 to support the stirring member 200. This helps reduce the frictional force experienced by the stirring member 200 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the stirring member 200 driven by the motor 300. The upper portion of each steam guide hole 122 extends from the first spherical surface 1241 to connect with the first steam flow channel 121, and the lower portion of each steam guide hole 122 extends from the outer wall of the main body 123 to connect with the first steam flow channel 121. This helps ensure that the steam guide holes 122 have a large steam flow rate and helps to place the steam guide holes 122 as close as possible to the top of the support column 120, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the steam guide holes 122. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the steam guide holes 122 can also extend only from the first spherical surface 1241 to connect with the first steam flow channel 121, or only from the outer wall of the main body 123 to connect with the first steam flow channel 121.

[0088] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, as an embodiment, the support column 120 further includes a retaining portion 125 and a connecting portion 126 extending downward from the bottom end of the main body 123 in sequence. That is, the retaining portion 125 is arranged between the main body 123 and the connecting portion 126 along the axial direction of the support column 120. The outer diameter of the retaining portion 125 is larger than the outer diameter of the main body 123 and larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 126. The connecting portion 126 is connected to the bottom of the container body 110. The first steam flow channel 121 extends from the bottom end of the connecting portion 126 through the retaining portion 125, the main body 123 in sequence to the spherical head 124. That is, the first steam flow channel 121 is arranged along the axial direction of the support column 120 to pass through the connecting portion 126, the retaining portion 125, the main body 123 in sequence, and extends to the spherical head 124. The provision of the connecting portion 126 is mainly used to achieve the connection between the support column 120 and the container body 110. The retaining portion 125 is primarily configured to cooperate with the cup body 100 to axially limit the support column 120. In this embodiment, a steam inlet 1211 is formed at the bottom of the cup body 100. The steam inlet 1211 is formed at the bottom end of the first steam flow channel 121. The steam inlet 1211 is connected to the steam outlet 4111 to allow heating steam to enter the inner cavity 1111 from the steam generating component 400.

[0089] As an embodiment, the locking portion 125 , the main body 123 and the ball head 124 are all accommodated in the inner cavity 1111 , that is, the locking portion 125 , the main body 123 and the ball head 124 are the parts of the support column 120 protruding into the inner cavity 1111 .

[0090] As an embodiment, the bottom end of the stirring member 200 is spaced above the top end of the locking portion 125, that is, the bottom end of the stirring member 200 is located above the top end of the locking portion 125, and there is a distance between the bottom end of the stirring member 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125. The outlet of the second steam flow channel 201 is arranged toward the top end of the locking portion 125. The distance between the bottom end of the stirring member 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125 prevents the outlet of the second steam flow channel 201 from being blocked by the locking portion 125, thereby allowing the hot steam flowing out of the outlet of the second steam flow channel 201 to enter the food and diffuse within the food. In a specific application, the hot steam entering the second steam flow channel 201 from the steam guide hole 122 flows from top to bottom to the food located in the distance between the bottom end of the stirring member 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125, and diffuses laterally and upward from the food located in the distance to the surrounding food, thereby heating the food from bottom to top.

[0091] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 7 to 10As shown, as an embodiment, the cup body 100 further includes a nut 130. A first connecting hole 1112 is further formed through the bottom of the container body 110. The connecting portion 126 passes through the first connecting hole 1112 and is threadedly connected to the nut 130 located below the container body 110. The first connecting hole 1112 is a light-through hole. The connecting portion 126 includes a polished rod segment 1261 and a threaded segment 1262. The outer wall of the polished rod segment 1261 is a cylindrical surface of the light source, and the outer wall of the threaded segment 1262 is provided with external threads. The polished rod segment 1261 is inserted into the first connecting hole 1112, and the threaded segment 1262 protrudes from the bottom of the container body 110 and is threadedly connected to the nut 130. The locking portion 125 and the nut 130 can axially limit the support column 120 from two opposite directions. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide an internal thread in the first connecting hole 1112. The connecting portion 126 is locked and fixed by the nut 130 below the container body 110. This helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the container body 110. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the first connecting hole 1112 can also be provided as a threaded hole, and the connecting portion 126 can be directly threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 1112.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, as an embodiment, cup body 100 further includes a sealing sleeve 140, which is disposed over the partial connecting portion 126 to seal at least one of the following gaps: the gap between the bottom end of retaining portion 125 and the bottom wall of inner cavity 1111, and the gap between the outer wall of connecting portion 126 and the inner wall of first connecting hole 1112. The provision of sealing sleeve 140 helps prevent food within inner cavity 1111 from leaking downward through the gap between support column 120 and first connecting hole 1112.

[0093] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 7 to 10 As shown, as one embodiment, the sealing sleeve 140 includes a first sealing section 141 and a second sealing section 142. The first sealing section 141 is located at the top of the second sealing section 142, and the outer diameter of the first sealing section 141 is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing section 142. The first sealing section 141 is located between the bottom end surface of the retaining portion 125 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 1111, thereby sealing the fitting gap between the bottom end of the retaining portion 125 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 1111. The second sealing section 142 is located between the outer wall of the connecting portion 126 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 1112, thereby sealing the fitting gap between the outer wall of the connecting portion 126 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 1112. In this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 140 is a T-shaped sleeve, which can form a double sealing structure for the support column 120 and the container body 110, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the connection between the support column 120 and the container body 110.

[0094] As an embodiment, the main body 123 has a tapered structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, that is, the main body 123 extends downward from the ball head 124 with a gradually increasing diameter. This facilitates the integral molding of the support column 120 through a mold and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the stirring member 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the shape of the main body 123 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the main body 123 can also be a cylindrical structure, that is, the main body 123 extends downward from the ball head 124 with a constant diameter.

[0095] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, as an embodiment, the stirring member 200 includes a connecting rod 210 and at least two blades 220. The at least two blades 220 are connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 is formed with a second connecting hole 211. The second connecting hole 211 extends upward from the bottom end of the connecting rod 210 along the axial direction of the connecting rod 210. The top end of the second connecting hole 211 is formed with a second spherical surface 2111 facing the bottom of the inner cavity 1111. The second spherical surface 2111 is partially supported on the top end of the support column 120. The inner wall of the second connecting hole 211 and the outer wall of the support column 120 enclose the second steam flow channel 201. Specifically, the second spherical surface 2111 is partially supported on the first spherical surface 1241. The inner wall of the second connecting hole 211, the outer wall of the main body 123, and the outer wall of the spherical head 124 enclose the second steam flow channel 201. The second connecting hole 211 is a blind hole extending upward from the bottom end of the connecting rod 210. The stirring component 200 can be sleeved on the supporting column 120 through the second connecting hole 211 , and its installation and removal are relatively convenient.

[0096] As an embodiment, the central axis of the support column 120 is coaxially arranged with the rotational central axis of the stirring component 200 , that is, the central axis of the support column 120 is collinear with the central axis of the stirring component 200 , which facilitates the centering of the stirring component 200 .

[0097] As an embodiment, the rotation center axis of the motor 300 is coaxially arranged with the rotation center axis of the stirring member 200 , that is, the rotation center axis of the motor 300 is collinear with the rotation center axis of the stirring member 200 .

[0098] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, as an embodiment, the baby food machine 10 further includes a transmission assembly 500, through which the motor 300 is connected to the stirring component 200. The transmission assembly 500 may include, for example, at least one of a speed reducer, a gear transmission mechanism, and a belt transmission mechanism. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the motor 300 may also be directly connected to the stirring component 200.

[0099] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 16 As shown, as an embodiment, the stirring member 200 further includes a connecting shaft 230, which is disposed at the top end of the connecting rod 210. The transmission assembly 500 includes an output shaft 510, which is transmission-connected to the connecting shaft 230. The connecting shaft 230 can be detachably connected to the connecting rod 210 or integrally formed with the connecting rod 210.

[0100] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 11 and Figure 16 As shown, as an embodiment, the output shaft 510 is provided with a shaft hole 511, and the connecting shaft 230 is inserted into the shaft hole 511. The cross-section of the shaft hole 511 is the same as the cross-section of the connecting shaft 230, both having a non-circular structure. This helps prevent relative rotation between the output shaft 510 and the connecting shaft 230, thereby ensuring that the output shaft 510 can effectively drive the connecting shaft 230 to rotate under the drive of the motor 300. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the shaft hole 511 can also be provided in the connecting shaft 230, and the output shaft 510 can be configured to be inserted into the shaft hole 511.

[0101] As an embodiment, the cross-sections of the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 are both roughly five-pointed star-shaped. This allows the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 to have multiple mating edges, thereby reducing the probability of the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 being rounded, thereby ensuring the reliability of the transmission connection between the output shaft 510 and the connecting shaft 230. Of course, in specific applications, as alternative embodiments, the cross-sections of the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 are not limited to these shapes. For example, they can also be polygonal, D-shaped with one flat surface, or racetrack-shaped with two opposing flat surfaces and two opposing arcuate surfaces.

[0102] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, as an embodiment, the baby food machine 10 further includes a base 600 and an upper cover 700, the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 are respectively arranged on the base 600, the upper cover 700 is installed on the top of the base 600 and the cover is arranged above the cup body 100, and the motor 300 is at least partially arranged in the upper cover 700. The baby food machine 10 is placed on a countertop or a desktop or the ground or other surfaces through the base 600. The base 600 is used to accommodate and protect the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400, and the upper cover 700 is used to accommodate and protect the motor 300. By covering the upper cover 700 on the base 600, on the one hand, the cup body 100 can be covered by the upper cover 700, and on the other hand, the motor 300 can be connected to the stirring component 200 through transmission.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, as an embodiment, the steam generating component 400 includes a water tank 410 and a heating device 420. The heating device 420 is used to heat the water in the water tank 410 to generate hot steam. The top of the water tank 410 forms a steam outlet 4111. The bottom of the cup body 100 is formed with a steam inlet 1211, which is connected to the steam outlet 4111 to allow hot steam to enter the inner cavity 1111 from the water tank 410. In this embodiment, hot steam can enter the inner cavity 1111 from the bottom of the cup body 100.

[0104] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, as an embodiment, the water tank 410 is detachably mounted on the base 600, that is, the user can remove the water tank 410 from the base 600 without damaging the water tank 410 and the base 600. In some related technologies prior to the present application, the water tank 410 is integrated into the base 600, that is, a cavity is separated from the base 600 to serve as the water tank 410, and the water tank 410 cannot be removed from the base 600. This results in a relatively large base 600. When the water in the water tank 410 needs to be poured out, water needs to be added to the water tank 410, or the water tank 410 needs to be cleaned, the user needs to hold the entire base 600 to perform the operation of pouring water, adding water, or cleaning. Due to the large size of the base 600, the user is very troublesome and laborious to operate. Moreover, because the base 600 is relatively bulky and heavy, when the high-temperature water in the water tank 410 needs to be poured out, the user is easily scalded. In this embodiment, since the water tank 410 can be removed from the base 600, when cleaning the water tank 410, pouring out the water in the water tank 410, or adding water to the water tank 410, the user can remove the water tank 410 to clean, pour out, or add water, without having to hold the entire base 600. In addition, since the volume of the water tank 410 is much smaller than that of the base 600, removing the water tank 410 to clean, pour out, or add water is very convenient and labor-saving for the user, and it also helps to reduce the risk of burns to the user when pouring water.

[0105] As an embodiment, the water tank 410 is vertically disposed between the cup body 100 and the heating device 420. The heating device 420 heats the water in the water tank 410 from the bottom thereof.

[0106] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, as an embodiment, water tank 410 includes a housing 411 and a handle 412. Housing 411 defines a water storage chamber 4112, the top of which is open to form a steam outlet 4111. Handle 412 is rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of water storage chamber 4112. Handle 412 is primarily used for a user to grasp and move water tank 410, making it more convenient for the user to clean water tank 410, pour out water from it, or add water to it.

[0107] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 14As shown, as an embodiment, the base 600 is formed with a first concave cavity 610, and the water tank 410 is detachably mounted in the first concave cavity 610. The heating device 420 is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 410 or at the bottom of the first concave cavity 610. In this embodiment, the first concave cavity 610 on the base 600 accommodates the water tank 410. This not only improves the compactness of the baby food maker 10, but also reduces the exposure of the water tank 410, thereby reducing the risk of users accidentally touching the water tank 410 and getting burned. This also helps ensure the aesthetic appearance of the baby food maker 10.

[0108] As an embodiment, the material of the water tank 410 is different from the material of the base 600. The separable configuration of the water tank 410 and the base 600 facilitates the water tank 410 and the base 600 to be manufactured and formed separately, thereby facilitating the water tank 410 and the base 600 to be made of different materials, thereby facilitating improving the quality and durability of the water tank 410.

[0109] In one embodiment, the material of the housing 411 is stainless steel, and the material of the base 600 is plastic. The use of stainless steel for the housing 411 can improve the high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and safety of the water tank 410. Of course, in specific applications, the material configuration of the water tank 410 and the base 600 is not limited to this.

[0110] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, as an embodiment, a third connector 430 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 410, and a fourth connector 630 electrically connected to the main control board is provided on the bottom wall of the first concave cavity 610. The third connector 430 is configured to plug and mate with the fourth connector 630. The main control board is configured to control the cessation of power supply to the motor 300 when the first connector 720 is disconnected from the second connector 640. The plug-in connection between the third connector 430 and the fourth connector 630 not only achieves an electrical connection between the heating device 420 and the main control board, but also achieves mechanical positioning of the water tank 410 and the base 600.

[0111] As an embodiment, the heating device 420 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 410 .

[0112] As an embodiment, the cup body 100 is detachably mounted on the base 600, that is, the user can remove the cup body 100 from the base 600 to separate the cup body 100 from the base 600 without damaging the cup body 100 and the base 600. In some related technologies prior to the present application, the cup body 100 is integrated into the base 600, that is, a cavity is separated on the base 600 to serve as the cup body 100, and the cup body 100 cannot be removed from the base 600, which results in a relatively large base 600. When the water tank 410 and the cup body 100 need to be cleaned, the user needs to hold the entire base 600 to clean it. Due to the large size of the base 600, the user is very troublesome and laborious to operate. In this embodiment, since the cup body 100 can be removed from the base 600 separately, in specific applications, when the cup body 100 needs to be cleaned, the user can remove the cup body 100 separately for cleaning without having to hold the entire base 600 for cleaning, which makes the user's operation very convenient and very labor-saving.
