The present application positions the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate through axial support, so that the extrusion assembly and the filtering assembly in the processing chamber are locked and adapted to avoid upward movement due to the extrusion force during the juicing process.

[0003] The juicer of the above structure has the following disadvantages: (1) The first pressing plate and the second pressing plate, i.e., the tool holder, on which the upper cutting knife and the lower cutting knife are mounted have smooth upper surfaces. When the upper and lower cutting knives rotate, they cut the food and drive the food to rotate (relatively slowly) at the same time. Since the upper surface of the tool holder (the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate) is smooth, there is no slowing effect on the rotating food, which can easily cause the food to affect the cutting effect of the tool due to the rotation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a knife assembly with a simple and reasonable structure and significantly improved food cutting effect.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a food processor which is easy to use and has a significantly improved food cutting effect.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] An improved structure of a tool assembly comprises a tool and a tool seat, wherein the tool is arranged on the tool seat, and is characterized in that a tool seat concave-convex portion capable of slowing down the rotation of food is arranged on the tool seat, and the tool seat concave-convex portion is located within the vertical projection range of the area through which the tool passes when rotating; this tool assembly, by adding the tool seat concave-convex portion capable of slowing down the rotation of food to the tool seat, when the tool rotates, it will drive the food to rotate (relatively slowly) while cutting the food. Since the tool seat is additionally provided with the tool seat concave-convex portion capable of slowing down the rotation of food, it has a significant slowing effect on the rotating food, which is beneficial to improving the cutting effect of the tool on the food.

[0009] The purpose of the utility model can also be solved by the following technical measures:
