[0023] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a food processor 100, which comprises a body 10 and an exhaust valve 20.

[0025] Among them, please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The body 10 comprises an inner cup body 11 and a soundproof cover 12 covering the outer side of the inner cup body 11, the soundproof cover 12 is provided with a first opening 1211, and the inner cup body 11 is provided with a second opening 111; the exhaust valve 20 is detachably arranged at the first opening 1211 and the second opening 111, comprising a valve body 21, a valve cover 22 covering the outer side of the valve body 21, and a sealing sleeve 23 sleeved on the outer side of the valve body 21, the sealing sleeve 23 is in interference fit with the inner cup body 11 and the soundproof cover 12 respectively, the valve body 21 is provided with a through hole 211 communicating with the cavity 112 of the inner cup body 11, the valve body 21 is provided with a water containing groove 212, the water containing groove 212 and the through hole 211 are communicated, and the valve cover 22 is provided with an exhaust hole 221.

[0026] The aforementioned food processing machine 100, by configuring the machine body 10 to include an inner cup 11 and a soundproof cover 12, creates an air layer between the soundproof cover 12 and the inner cup 11, reducing the outward transmission of noise from inside the inner cup 11. Furthermore, by using an airtight fit between the sealing sleeve 23 in the exhaust valve 20 and both the inner cup 11 and the soundproof cover 12, noise is blocked at gaps, further reducing outward transmission. Simultaneously, because the valve body 21 has a water tank 212, the liquid generated during stirring in the inner cup 11 can enter the water tank 212 through the through hole 211. The liquid level in the water tank 212 has a certain height, and the slurry absorbs the energy of the noise, further blocking its outward transmission. Thus, multiple noise reduction methods are employed to achieve a noise reduction effect.

[0027] It should be noted that the inner cup 11 is used to hold food, and the body 10 also includes a grinding blade. The grinding blade grinds the food in the cavity 112 of the inner cup 11 to obtain a food slurry. The soundproof cover 12 is installed outside the inner cup 11. Since there is a certain thickness of air layer between the soundproof cover 12 and the inner cup 11, a certain noise reduction effect is achieved through the air layer.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram below shows the structure of the soundproof cover 12 in this embodiment. The soundproof cover 12 includes a cover body 121, a first transverse wall 122 disposed on the top of the cover body 121, and a first mating rib 123 disposed on the end of the first transverse wall 122 away from the cover body 121. The first mating rib 123 surrounds and forms a first opening 1211. The first mating rib 123 extends toward the cavity 112 of the cover body 121 and has a certain extension height along the central axis of the cover body 121. The first mating rib 123 has a first wall surface 124 that mates with the sealing sleeve 23.

[0029] Specifically, when the sealing sleeve 23 is press-fitted with the soundproof cover 12, the sealing sleeve 23 includes a sleeve body 231 and a plurality of first sealing ribs 232 disposed outside the sleeve body 231. The first sealing ribs 232 and the soundproof cover 12 are press-fitted, that is, the plurality of first sealing ribs 232 have a certain degree of flexibility and can be deformed to resist the first wall surface 124 of the first mating rib 123. Since the first sealing ribs 232 have flexible properties, when sound is transmitted to the flexible first sealing ribs 232, the vibration energy of the sound is absorbed, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the sound from being transmitted outward.

[0030] When setting the number of first sealing ribs 232, at least two can be set along the axial direction of the sleeve body 231. For example, two, three or more first sealing ribs 232 can be set to achieve a better noise reduction effect through the setting of multiple sealing ribs.

[0031] In addition, when installing the exhaust valve 20, the first mating rib 123 has a first support surface 125 on the side facing the outside. Correspondingly, the sleeve body 231 has a first mating surface 233. The first support surface 125 supports the first mating surface 233, thereby realizing the support and installation of the exhaust valve 20.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the inner cup 11 is engaged with the sealing sleeve 23, the inner cup 11 includes a surrounding wall 113, a second transverse wall 114 disposed at the top of the surrounding wall 113, and a second mating rib 115 connecting the end of the second transverse wall 114 away from the surrounding wall 113. The second mating rib 115 surrounds to form a second opening 111 and extends into the cavity 112 of the surrounding wall 113 for engaging with the sealing sleeve 23 for sealing.

[0033] Specifically, the sealing sleeve 23 also includes a plurality of second sealing ribs 234 disposed outside the sleeve body 231. The second sealing ribs 234 and the inner cup body 11 are interference fit. Specifically, the second mating rib 115 has a second wall surface 117 facing the second opening 111. The second sealing rib 234 and the second wall surface 117 abut against each other. Since the second sealing rib 234 has a flexible nature, when sound is transmitted to the flexible second sealing rib 234, the vibration energy of the sound is absorbed, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the sound from being transmitted outward.

[0034] When setting the number of second sealing ribs 234, at least two can be set along the axial direction of the sleeve body 231. For example, two, three or more second sealing ribs 234 can be set to achieve a better noise reduction effect through the setting of multiple sealing ribs.

[0035] Thus, when the sealing sleeve 23 of this embodiment cooperates with the inner cup 11 and the soundproof cover 12, it can be configured to include a sleeve body 231, a first sealing rib 232 and / or a second sealing rib 234 disposed on the sleeve body 231, so as to achieve the effect of forming a seal at the corresponding opening through the first sealing rib 232 and / or the second sealing rib 234.

[0036] Furthermore, the main body 231 is also provided with a second mating surface 235, and a second support surface 116 is correspondingly provided on the second transverse wall 114. The second support surface 116 supports the second mating surface 235. Through the cooperation of the second support surface 116 and the first support surface 125, the entire exhaust valve 20 is supported.

[0037] Specifically, the diameter of the first opening 1211 is larger than the diameter of the second opening 111. The valve body 21 includes a first sealing part 214 and a second sealing part 215. The outer diameter of the first sealing part 214 is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing part 215. The first sealing part 214 and the second sealing part 215 are connected by a transition surface. The position of the transition surface corresponds to the position of the second mating surface 235. The first sealing part 214 is used to seal the first opening 1211, and the second sealing part 215 is used to seal the second opening 111.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 In order to achieve a tight installation between the sealing sleeve 23 and the valve body 21, the lower end of the valve body 21 is provided with a support platform 213. The lower end face of the sealing sleeve 23 abuts against the support platform 213. When the exhaust valve 20 is installed on the machine body 10, the support platform 213 extends into the inner cavity of the inner cup 11. Thus, by setting the support platform 213, the sealing sleeve 23 is supported. Since this end extends into the cavity 112, the slurry is prevented from entering the gap between the sealing sleeve 23 and the valve body 21.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 When installing the valve cover 22, valve body 21, and sealing sleeve 23, in order to avoid noise caused by mutual collision between the valve cover 22 and valve body 21, there is a gap between the valve cover 22 and valve body 21, and part of the sealing sleeve 23 is embedded in the gap. In this way, by embedding the sealing sleeve 23 between the valve cover 22 and valve body 21, the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 23 contacts the outer wall of the valve body 21, and the outer wall of the sealing sleeve 23 contacts the inner wall of the valve cover 22, which restricts the relative movement between the valve cover 22 and valve body 21 and avoids mutual collision between the two to generate noise.

[0040] Specifically, the sealing sleeve 23 has an embedding section 236 embedded in the gap. The outer wall of the embedding section 236 facing the valve cover 22 is provided with a first guide slope 237. The first guide slope 237 is inclined from the upper end of the valve body 21 to the lower end and is inclined away from the central axis of the valve body 21. Thus, the first guide slope 237 can guide the installation of the valve cover 22, making it easier for the valve cover 22 to be covered on the sealing sleeve 23 along the first guide slope 237.

[0041] Please see Figure 2During the process of shredding food, a small amount of slurry is agitated into the water tank 212. When the slurry column in the water tank 212 reaches a certain height, it can absorb sound energy, thereby reducing noise. Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth h of the water tank 212 is ≥10mm. Thus, by setting the water tank 212 with a certain depth, the height of the slurry in the water tank 212 is guaranteed, ensuring the noise reduction effect and preventing a lot of sound from penetrating the slurry column and being transmitted to the environment when the slurry height is low.

[0042] In some embodiments, the depth of the water tank 212 can be set to a value such as 10mm, 12mm, 14mm or 16mm, and there is no limitation on it.

[0043] Furthermore, due to the design of the water tank 212, when the water tank 212 is filled with liquid, the steam in the inner cup 11 cannot be quickly discharged into the environment due to the presence of the liquid. At this time, the pressure inside the inner cup 11 will be greater than the pressure in the environment. This can also help release the nutrients in the food in the inner cup 11, thereby improving the cooking effect.

[0044] Specifically, when a water-containing trough 212 is formed in the valve body 21, an extension column 219 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve body 21. The extension column 219 is provided with a through hole 211, which is connected to the inner cavity of the inner cup 11. The extension column 219 extends into the water-containing trough 212, so that when the food is stirred, the slurry flows along the through hole 211 into the water-containing trough 212. The water-containing trough 212 can hold a certain amount of slurry, thus achieving the effect of noise reduction.

[0045] Furthermore, to ensure the safe use of the food processor 100, the valve cover 22 is also provided with a vent 221. Steam flows sequentially through the through hole 211 and the water tank 212, and can finally be discharged into the environment through the vent 221, avoiding excessive air pressure in the inner cup 11, for example... Figure 2 The direction indicated by the arrow in the image.

[0046] Understandably, since slurry will enter the valve body 21, in order to prevent the slurry from remaining inside the valve body 21 and causing bacterial growth, the valve cover 22 and the valve body 21 in this embodiment are detachably connected during installation. In this way, after the food is cooked, the valve cover 22 and the valve body 21 can be disassembled and separated to clean the valve cover 22 and the valve body 21 separately, thus preventing bacterial growth.

[0047] Specifically, please refer to Figures 3 to 6When the valve cover 22 and valve body 21 are detachably installed, the valve body 21 is provided with a first locking block 216 and the valve cover 22 is provided with a second locking block 222. One of the first locking block 216 and the second locking block 222 is provided with a locking groove 217 and the other is provided with a protrusion 223. The valve cover 22 rotates relative to the valve body 21 to make the protrusion 223 engage or disengage in the locking groove 217. Thus, as the valve cover 22 rotates relative to the valve body 21 in the first direction, the protrusion 223 engages in the locking groove 217. At this time, the valve cover 22 is installed on the valve body 21. When the valve cover 22 needs to be disassembled relative to the valve body 21, the valve cover 22 is rotated in the opposite direction of the first direction to disassemble the valve cover 22 relative to the valve body 21.

[0048] Furthermore, a second guide slope 218 is provided at one end of the first locking block 216 and on the side facing the second locking block 222, and a third guide slope 224 is provided at one end of the second locking block 222 and on the side facing the first locking block 216. The third guide slope 224 and the second guide slope 218 guide and cooperate with each other. That is, during the installation process, the second guide slope 218 and the third guide slope 224 contact and cooperate with each other, which can guide the rotation of the valve cover 22 and realize that the protrusion 223 can be quickly inserted into the slot 217.

[0049] Specifically, during the installation of the valve cover 22 and the valve body 21, the second locking block 222 in this embodiment is located below the first locking block 216, and the second locking block 222 is provided with a protrusion 223, the first locking block 216 is provided with a locking groove 217, and the protrusion 223 is locked in the locking groove 217.

[0050] The aforementioned food processing machine 100 achieves noise reduction by providing a water tank 212 inside the valve body 21, which forms a slurry column of a certain height. This slurry column prevents noise from being transmitted outward, while simultaneously ensuring that the air pressure inside the inner cup 11 is greater than the ambient air pressure, which helps release nutrients from the food and improves the taste. The sealing sleeve 23 is equipped with a first sealing rib 232 and / or a second sealing rib 234. These ribs are flexible and damping, absorbing sound energy and reducing noise transmission outside the machine body 10. Furthermore, the valve cover 22 is detachable from the valve body 21, allowing for easy cleaning and preventing bacterial growth after prolonged use.

[0051] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
