[0072] In another embodiment, the motor 17 includes a motor 17 body, the lower end of the motor 17 body is located in the second installation cavity 133, and the circuit board 14 surrounds the outer side of the lower end of the motor 17 body. In this embodiment, the first body 12 can be set shorter, and the motor 17 partially extends into the second installation cavity 133, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the first body 12.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the circuit board 14 may be arc-shaped or ring-shaped, and may be of a suitable size according to the number and arrangement of components thereon.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the circuit board 14 includes a board body 141 and a lamp bead 144 arranged on the board body 141, the step surface 131 is provided with a downwardly protruding and hollow light guide column 1312, the light guide column 1312 is covered on the outside of the lamp bead 144, and an annular lamp cover 19 for shading is also provided between the light guide column 1312 and the lamp bead 144, the top of the annular lamp cover 19 is transparent or provided with a lamp hole so that the light of the lamp bead 144 can pass upward through the annular lamp cover 19.

[0075] Specifically, the food processor can realize multiple processing functions, such as mincing meat, chopping vegetables, kneading noodles, fine meat particles, medium meat particles, coarse meat particles, etc. By setting multiple lamp beads 144, each lamp bead 144 can correspond to a function. After the user selects one of the functions, the lamp bead 144 is used to light up the corresponding function icon, which can provide the user with intuitive visual feedback and enhance the user experience.

[0076] When the existing lamp bead 144 is in use, part of the light from the lamp bead 144 will shine in the circumferential direction of the light guide column 1312, which will cause the light intensity transmitted upward to the position of the function icon to be weakened, making it difficult for the user to identify. In order to solve this problem, Figure 6 As shown, the present application adds an annular lampshade 19 between the light guide column 1312 and the lamp bead 144, which can block light along the circumferential direction, so that the light emitted by the lamp bead 144 can only be transmitted upward to the functional operation area 132, which can enhance the light display intensity for easy identification by the user. Among them, the top of the annular lampshade 19 is closed, which is conducive to the effect of focusing light, and in order to make the light irradiate the step surface 131 upward, the top of the annular lampshade 19 can be set to be transparent or a lamp hole can be set to allow the light to pass through.

[0077] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the annular lampshade 19 may not be provided. Figure 7 As shown, the light guide column 1312 directly covers the outer side of the lamp bead 144 .

[0078] The motor 17 used in the present application is, for example, a brushed motor 17. Since the motor 17 and the circuit board 14 are both installed in the host 11, in order to prevent the carbon powder generated by the carbon brush from splashing onto the circuit board 14 and causing safety problems, the present application provides a shielding member in the host 11, which can be used to isolate the circuit board 14 from the carbon brush of the motor 17 to protect the circuit board 14.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 14 is arranged horizontally, and the shielding member can be arranged to extend vertically and be arranged on the inner side of the circuit board 14 so as to isolate the circuit board 14 from the driving component on one side. In one embodiment, the shielding member is formed by extending downward from the connection position between the step surface 131 and the first main body 12. In another embodiment, the shielding member is formed by extending downward from the bottom of the step surface 131 (a position other than the above-mentioned connection position). In another embodiment, the driving assembly includes a motor 17 and a reduction box 18, and the reduction box 18 is provided with a reduction box 18 housing. The shielding member is arranged on the reduction box 18 housing. The shielding member is, for example, L-shaped. The shielding member includes a horizontal section connected to the reduction box 18 housing and a vertical section for isolating the circuit board 14. In this way, the structure of the reduction box 18 can be fully utilized to form the shielding member, and the internal structure of the host 11 can be simplified.

[0080] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the circuit board 14 is arc-shaped, and the inner arc of the circuit board 14 is located outside the first body 12. By optimizing the radial position of the circuit board 14, the circuit board 14 can be further away from the drive assembly in the radial direction, which can prevent the carbon powder generated by the motor 17 from splashing onto the circuit board 14 driven by the airflow, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the host 11 is provided with an annular surface sticker 20, which passes through the first body 12 and is attached to the outer surface of the step surface 131 and covers the functional operation area 132. Figure 2 As shown, by providing the annular surface sticker 20, the functional operation area 132 can be protected from scratches and the user's operating feel can be improved. The annular surface sticker 20 is made of, for example, silicone material and has a good touch.

[0082] On the basis of the above solution, further, the present application does not limit the composition, arrangement and operation mode of the functional operation area 132, and for example, it can be implemented in the following manner.

[0083] The food processor includes multiple processing functions, such as mincing meat, chopping vegetables, kneading noodles, fine meat particles, medium meat particles, coarse meat particles, etc. Different functions may correspond to different speeds and different working times. The machine can work intelligently through one-button operation, and the user does not need to continuously press the host 11, which is easy to operate.

[0084] In one embodiment, the functional operation area 132 includes a function button 22 and a control button 21 , wherein the function button 22 is used to select a plurality of different processing modes, and the control button 21 is used to control the start and stop of the driving component.

[0085] Specifically, the function operation area 132 also includes a plurality of function icons 23 to correspond to the above-mentioned minced meat, chopped vegetables, dough kneading, fine meat particles, medium meat particles, and coarse meat particles modes. When the user operates, he first touches the function button 22. When a function is selected, the corresponding function icon 23 is lit up. At this time, the user can touch the control button 21. One-button operation can start and keep the motor 17 working, and the function button 22 and the control button 21 can be released after selection. The user does not need to press for a long time, which greatly reduces the user's operating burden.

[0086] In another embodiment, the function operation area 132 includes a plurality of function icons 23 and a control button 21 , and the control button 21 is used to control the start and stop of the corresponding function after a specific function icon 23 is selected.

[0087] In this embodiment, the function button 22 can be omitted, and the user can directly select the desired function icon 23, which is more convenient. After the user selects the desired function, the motor 17 can be started and kept working by touching the control button 21 and then releasing it.

[0088] In one embodiment, the function operation area 132 includes a function display area 24 and a control area 25 , and the control area 25 is located on one side of the function display area 24 .

[0089] Specifically, Figure 8As shown, the function display area 24 includes a plurality of function icons 23, each function icon 23 corresponds to a processing function, and a display unit is provided on one side of each function icon 23. A lamp bead 144 is provided on the circuit board 14, and the light emitted by the lamp bead 144 can illuminate the display unit to give feedback to the user, indicating that a processing function is selected. The control area 25 includes, for example, a function button 22 and a control button 21, and the operation method is the same as above; or, the control area 25 can also be provided with only the control button 21, in which case the function icon 23 can be directly used to select the processing function.

[0090] In this embodiment, the function display area 24 and the control area 25 are arranged in parallel in partitions. When the user only needs to operate the control area 25, the user's hand can move within a small range, which is more convenient and can improve operating efficiency.

[0091] In another embodiment, the function operation area 132 includes a function display area 24 and a control area 25 , the function display area 24 includes a first sub-display area 26 and a second sub-display area 27 , and the control area 25 is located between the first sub-display area 26 and the second sub-display area 27 .

[0092] like Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the multiple function icons 23 can be further partitioned. For example, the first sub-display area 26 can correspond to the three functions of mincing meat, chopping vegetables, and kneading noodles, and the second sub-display area 27 can correspond to the three functions of fine meat particles, medium meat particles, and coarse meat particles. In this way, when the user views the first sub-display area 26 or the second sub-display area 27, he only needs to choose from fewer functions, which can avoid incorrect function selection and facilitate improving operating efficiency.
