Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing machines, in particular to a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing food processing machines, such as meat grinders, have suction cup structures at the bottom of the mixing cup to prevent large slippage between the meat grinder cup and the work surface during operation, which would affect the stability of the operation. Existing suction cup structures include the following:

[0003] Method 1: For example, the patent with application number 202221194982.9 discloses a food processor, in which a ring-shaped sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the container body, and a plurality of anti-skid parts are provided on the ring-shaped sealing ring, which is equivalent to a suction cup. The anti-skid part is inserted into the bottom wall of the ring-shaped sealing ring and is locked by screws to form a whole. The center of the whole is passed through and locked by another screw from bottom to top through the ring-shaped sealing ring, the bottom wall of the container body and the shaft body. In this scheme, although the fixed setting of the suction cup is realized, it can avoid the slippage between the container body and the work surface during the working process and affect the working stability, but because it is difficult for the user to disassemble the ring-shaped sealing ring and the container body, when the dirt in the cleaning process of the food processor enters the gap between the ring-shaped sealing ring and the bottom of the container body, it is difficult for the user to remove the dirt here. In the long run, serious odor is likely to be generated here, affecting the user's experience.

[0004] Method 2: For example, the patent with application number 202320693542.6 discloses a food processor assembly, including a mixing bowl and a base mounted on the outside of the mixing bowl. The mixing bowl is completely hidden in the base, and the outer bottom surface of the base is provided with multiple suction cups to allow the cup holder to be adsorbed and positioned on the work surface. The bowl cover, mixing bowl and cup holder are fixed by the fixing buckle at the top of the cup holder to limit the fixed ear of the bowl cover in the vertical direction so that the bowl cover moves in the vertical direction, and the limiting part at the top of the cup holder limits the fixed ear of the bowl cover in the circumferential direction to prevent the bowl cover from rotating circumferentially on the base. In this solution, the detachable connection between the cup holder and the mixing bowl solves the odor problem of method one. In addition, the mixing bowl is indirectly fixed by the suction cup on the cup holder, which is conducive to improving the stability of the food processor. However, on the one hand, this solution only fixes the bowl cover, the mixing bowl and the cup holder. When the host wants to be improved to a smart one-touch, the stability between the host and the bowl cover is difficult to ensure; on the other hand, the cup holder needs to completely hide the mixing bowl, which not only affects the visualization of the mixing bowl, but also wastes materials and increases costs. It also limits the shape of the bowl cover, that is, the bowl cover must have fixing ears. Utility Model Content

[0016] In one embodiment, the cup holder comprises a bottom wall, the bottom wall is provided with a groove with an opening facing upward, the outer bottom wall of the mixing cup is provided with a supporting rib protruding therefrom, and the supporting rib is limitedly matched with the groove; or,

[0020] The cup holder comprises a surrounding wall wrapping the side of the stirring cup and a plurality of extension plates arranged at the top of the surrounding wall and extending upward, two adjacent extension plates are arranged at intervals to form a viewing area, and the stirring cup is a glass cup.

[0021] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In order to prevent the mixing cup from slipping relative to the work surface during operation, the food processor of the utility model is further provided with an outer suction cup with an opening facing downward on the outer bottom surface of the cup seat, so that the mixing cup and the work surface are adsorbed by the outer suction cup, thereby improving the working stability of the food processor.

[0023] On this basis, the cup holder and the stirring cup are detachably connected, and both include a first state in which the cup holder and the stirring cup are directly assembled and fixed, and a second state in which the cup holder and the stirring cup are separately set, so that when the user needs to use the food processor to work, the cup holder can be assembled on the stirring cup; when the user needs to clean the cup body, the cup holder and the stirring cup can be separated and cleaned, and then assembled after the cup holder and the stirring cup are completely dry, which is convenient for the user to clean and avoids the residual stains in the interlayer between the cup holder and the stirring cup to produce odor. In this scheme, the cup holder and the stirring cup can be directly assembled and fixed. Compared with the prior art, which requires a fixing buckle and a limiting buckle to be set on the top of the cup holder, the assembly structure is simpler, and there is no need to consider whether the cup cover is provided with a lug, and there is no limitation on the shape of the cup cover. Moreover, since the cup holder and the stirring cup are directly assembled and fixed, the cup holder does not need to completely hide the stirring cup. On the one hand, the cost of the cup holder can be reduced, and on the other hand, when the stirring cup is a transparent cup body, it is also beneficial for the user to observe the crushing state of the ingredients in the stirring cup.

[0024] At the same time, the outer suction cup is not directly fixed on the mixing cup, which can simplify the structure of the mixing cup. Therefore, through the technical solution of the present application, on the basis of improving the working stability between the mixing cup and the work surface, the mixing cup and the cup holder can be detached and cleaned, odor can be prevented, the installation of the cup holder is simplified, and a good user experience is guaranteed.

[0025] 2. As a preferred embodiment, an inner suction cup with an opening facing upward is provided in the cup holder, so that the cup holder is adsorbed on the bottom of the blender cup through the inner suction cup to achieve the first state. The inner and outer suction cups are convenient for users to disassemble and assemble, and the cost is low.

[0026] 3. As a preferred embodiment, when the inner suction cup and the outer suction cup are separately arranged, the inner suction cup and the outer suction cup can be arranged to avoid each other, so that when the user wants to separate the cup holder from the work surface first, the swing of the outer suction cup will not affect the adsorption force between the inner suction cup and the cup holder, causing the stirring cup to separate from the cup holder first. At the same time, the inner and outer suction cups are separately arranged, which is also more conducive to the installation of the suction cup, that is, only the installation part of the suction cup needs to be extended into the cup holder.

[0027] Alternatively, the inner suction cup and the outer suction cup are integrated, so that the force points between the mixing cup and the cup holder, and between the cup holder and the work surface are on the same axis, which is more conducive to improving the adsorption stability of the three. When the inner and outer suction cups are integrated, it is only necessary to install the integrated part on the cup holder, which reduces the number of suction cup installations compared to when the inner and outer suction cups are separately provided.

[0028] Alternatively, in order to ensure that the cup holder is separated from the work surface before the mixing cup is separated from the cup holder, the inner suction cup is larger than the outer suction cup, so that the force-bearing surface between the cup holder and the mixing cup is larger and the adsorption force is stronger.

[0029] 4. As a preferred embodiment, the inner and outer suction cups are arranged in an umbrella-shaped structure to enhance the adsorption contact area between the cup holder and the mixing cup, and the adsorption contact area between the cup holder and the work surface. At the same time, in order to realize the convenient installation of the inner and outer suction cups and the cup holder, the present solution sets a limiting hole on the bottom wall of the cup holder, sets the inner and outer suction cups in an umbrella-shaped adsorption body and an extension, and sets an annular groove on the side of the extension. The annular groove is adapted to the limiting hole so that the inner and outer suction cups can be conveniently sleeved on the bottom wall of the cup holder.

[0030] 5. As a preferred embodiment, in order to simplify the structure of the cup holder and facilitate the cleaning of the cup holder, the inner suction cup is fixedly arranged on the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup.

[0031] 6. As a preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the fixing reliability between the inner suction cup and the stirring cup, a support frame is provided to support the inner suction cup. Specifically, the support body of the support frame is supported below the inner top surface of the inner suction cup to support the inner suction cup, that is, the inner suction cup is clamped between the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup and the support body. A radially reduced column is provided above the support body, and the column passes through the through hole on the inner suction cup to achieve radial limitation of multiple inner suction cups, and also enhance the local strength of the inner suction cup.

[0032] 7. As a preferred embodiment, by providing a sealing rib on the surrounding wall of the cup holder, the mixing cup and the surrounding wall are interference-fitted through the sealing rib to reach the first state, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the cup holder and the mixing cup. In this solution, there is no need to provide an inner suction cup at the bottom of the mixing cup, nor is there a need to provide an inner suction cup on the bottom wall of the cup holder, which greatly simplifies the internal structure of the cup holder and the bottom structure of the mixing cup, and is also convenient for cleaning the cup holder and the mixing cup. At the same time, the sealing rib is sleeved on the top of the surrounding wall, and the user can also disassemble the sealing rib relative to the cup holder for cleaning. The surrounding wall provided in the cup holder is also conducive to improving the radial limitation of the cup holder to the mixing cup, which helps to improve the working stability of the food processor.

[0033] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the height of the surrounding wall of the cup holder is further limited, specifically, the ratio of the height of the surrounding wall to the height of the mixing cup is limited to between 0.1 and 0.5, which can not only realize the radial limitation of the mixing cup by the surrounding wall of the cup holder, thereby improving the working stability of the food processor, but also avoid the cup holder being too high and causing excessive lateral obstruction to the mixing cup, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the cup holder, especially when the mixing cup is made of transparent material, the influence of the surrounding wall on the visibility of the mixing cup can be avoided.

[0034] 8. As a preferred embodiment, in the assembly and fixation of the cup holder and the stirring cup, in addition to the axial fixation of the cup holder and the stirring cup, the radial limitation between the cup holder and the stirring cup is also crucial. If the stirring cup deflects radially relative to the cup holder, it will not only produce radial collision noise, but also make it difficult for the main unit, the stirring blade, and the stirring bowl to be on the same axis, thereby affecting the rotation of the stirring blade. Therefore, in this solution, a groove with an upward opening is also provided on the bottom wall of the cup holder, and a support rib is convexly provided on the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup. The radial limitation of the cup holder to the stirring cup is achieved through the plug-in cooperation of the support rib and the groove.

[0035] Alternatively, in another embodiment, a through hole for inserting the support rib of the stirring cup can be provided on the bottom wall of the cup holder, and the hole wall of the through hole can realize radial positioning of the stirring cup. Moreover, an annular plate is provided outside the edge of the through hole, and the bottom surface of the stirring cup is supported on the annular plate, which further improves the support reliability of the cup holder for the stirring cup.

[0036] 9. The present application also provides a food processor. In order to prevent the mixing cup from slipping relative to the work surface during operation, an external suction cup with an opening facing downward is provided on the outer bottom surface of the cup seat. The external suction cup achieves adsorption between the mixing cup and the work surface, thereby improving the working stability of the food processor.

[0037] On this basis, by setting a first state in which at least the main unit, the blending cup and the cup holder are assembled and fixed, on the one hand, it provides the basic conditions for the food processor to realize intelligence; on the other hand, regardless of whether the food processor is intelligent or not, the main unit, the blending cup and the cup holder are attached to the work surface as a whole, which greatly improves the stability of the food processor during operation and helps to reduce working noise.

[0038] 10. As a preferred embodiment, the cup holder includes a wall that wraps around the side of the blending cup, so as to achieve radial positioning of the blending cup by the wall. At the same time, a plurality of extension plates extending upward are provided at the top of the wall, and the plate bodies on the extension plates further limit the blending cup in the radial direction. The flanges on the extension plates are engaged with the buckles of the main machine, so as to achieve positioning of the blending cup between the main machine and the cup holder, that is, at least the cup holder and the main machine can form a whole adsorbed on the work surface, thereby improving the working stability of the whole machine.

[0039] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the blending cup is a glass cup, which has the advantages of being easy to rinse and having good visibility. On this basis, the blending cup is radially limited by the surrounding wall of the cup seat and the extension plate, and adjacent extension plates are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the blending cup to form a visual area, so that the user can observe the crushing status of the food through the visual area.

[0052] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in combination with the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

[0053] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0054] In addition, in the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present application provides a food processing machine, which is described by taking a meat grinder as an example, and includes a mixing cup 2 and a main machine 1 arranged above the mixing cup 2. The cup mouth cover of the mixing cup 2 is provided with a cup cover 3. A mixing knife 21 is detachably installed in the mixing cup 2. A positioning column 23 is convexly provided on the inner bottom wall of the mixing cup 2. The bottom of the mixing knife 21 can be limitedly inserted on the positioning column 23. A motor 12 for driving is provided inside the main machine 1. The top of the mixing knife 21 passes through the cup cover 3 and is transmission-connected to the motor 12. The food processing machine of the present application also includes a cup holder 4, which is arranged on the outer side of the bottom of the mixing cup 2. The cup holder 4 is detachably connected to the mixing cup 2. The outer bottom surface of the cup holder 4 is provided with an outer suction cup 41 with an opening facing downward. At the same time, the outer suction cup 41 is not directly fixed on the mixing cup 2, which can simplify the structure of the mixing cup 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, an outer suction cup 41 with an opening facing downward is provided on the outer bottom surface of the cup holder 4 to avoid slipping of the blending cup 2 relative to the work surface during operation, thereby achieving adsorption between the blending cup 2 and the work surface and improving the working stability of the food processor.

[0057] On this basis, the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 are detachably connected, so that when the user needs to use the food processor, the cup holder 4 can be assembled on the blending cup 2; when the user needs to clean the cup body, the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 can be separated for cleaning, and then assembled after the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 are completely dry, which is convenient for the user to clean and avoids residual stains in the interlayer between the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 to produce odor.

[0058] Regarding the specific assembly method of the cup holder 4, the present application provides the following two embodiments:

[0059] Embodiment 1:

[0060] refer to Figure 1 , 2 , 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, the food processor of this embodiment includes a first state in which the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2 are directly assembled and fixed, and a second state in which the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2 are separately arranged.

[0061] In this solution, the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 can be directly assembled and fixed. Compared with the prior art method that requires a fixing buckle and a limit buckle to be set on the top of the cup holder 4, the assembly structure is simpler, and there is no need to consider whether the cup cover 3 is provided with a lug, and there is no limitation on the shape of the cup cover 3. Moreover, since the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 are directly assembled and fixed, the cup holder 4 does not need to completely hide the blending cup 2. On the one hand, the cost of the cup holder 4 can be reduced, and on the other hand, when the blending cup 2 is a transparent cup body, it is also helpful for the user to observe the crushing state of the food in the blending cup 2.

[0062] This solution, on the basis of improving the working stability between the mixing cup 2 and the work surface, also realizes the detachable cleaning of the mixing cup 2 and the cup holder 4, prevents the generation of odor, simplifies the installation of the cup holder 4, and ensures a good user experience.

[0063] Regarding the direct fixing and assembly of the cup holder 4 and the stirring cup 2, the present application provides the following implementation schemes:

[0064] Implementation 1: Reference Figure 1 , 2 , 8, 9, the cup holder 4 is provided with an inner suction cup 42 with an opening facing upward, and the cup holder 4 is adsorbed on the bottom of the blending cup 2 by the inner suction cup 42 to achieve a first state, and when the inner suction cup 42 is separated from the outer bottom wall of the blending cup 2, the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 are separated to reach a second state. By providing the cup holder 4 with an inner suction cup 42 with an opening facing upward, the cup holder 4 is adsorbed on the bottom of the blending cup 2 by the inner suction cup 42 to achieve the first state. The method of the inner and outer suction cups 41 is convenient for users to disassemble and assemble, and has low cost.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 9 The inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are separately arranged, and the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are arranged to avoid each other in horizontal projection, that is, the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are not on the same axis, and the horizontal projections do not overlap. This arrangement can prevent the swing of the outer suction cup 41 from affecting the adsorption force of the inner suction cup 42 between the stirring cup 2 and the cup holder 4 when the user wants to separate the cup holder 4 from the work surface first, causing the stirring cup 2 to separate from the cup holder 4 first. At the same time, the inner and outer suction cups 41 are separately arranged, which is also more conducive to the installation of the suction cup, that is, only the installation part of the suction cup needs to extend into the cup holder 4.

[0066] In another preferred embodiment, the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are integrated. In this way, the force points between the stirring cup 2 and the cup holder 4, and between the cup holder 4 and the work surface are on the same axis, which is more conducive to improving the adsorption stability of the three. When the inner and outer suction cups 41 are integrated, it is only necessary to install the integrated part on the cup holder 4. Compared with the case where the inner and outer suction cups 41 are separately arranged, the number of suction cup installations is reduced. Figure 2 If 424 inner suction cups and 414 outer suction cups are set, then when the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are set separately, the number of installations required is 8 times; if the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 are set as an integral part, the number of installations required is only 4 times, which can greatly improve the assembly efficiency.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 2 The bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4 is provided with a limiting hole 433, and the inner suction cup 42 and the outer suction cup 41 both include an umbrella-shaped adsorption body 411 with an opening and an extension portion 412 provided on the back of the adsorption body 411 and extending outward, wherein the umbrella-shaped adsorption bodies 411 of the inner suction cup 42 of the outer suction cup 41 are oriented in opposite directions. The inner and outer suction cups 41 are arranged in an umbrella-shaped structure to enhance the adsorption contact area between the cup holder 4 and the stirring cup 2, and the adsorption contact area between the cup holder 4 and the work surface.

[0068] In this solution, in order to achieve convenient installation of the inner and outer suction cups 41 and the cup holder 4, a limiting hole 433 is set on the bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4, and the inner and outer suction cups 41 are set with an umbrella-shaped adsorption body 411 and an extension part 412, and an annular groove 413 is set on the side of the extension part 412. The annular groove 413 is adapted to the limiting hole 433 so that the inner and outer suction cups 41 can be conveniently sleeved on the bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4.

[0069] Specifically, the extension part 412 is spherical, the adsorption body 411 is umbrella-shaped, and the end of the spherical shape with a smaller diameter is connected to the end of the adsorption body 411 with a smaller diameter to form the annular groove 413. The inner suction cup 42 or the outer suction cup 41 can pass through the limiting hole 433 through the deformation of the adsorption body 411 or the deformation of the extension part 412, and the limiting hole 433 is aligned with the annular groove 413. At this time, since the diameter of the spherical extension part 412 and the diameter of the umbrella-shaped adsorption body 411 are both larger than the diameter of the limiting hole 433, the inner suction cup 42 and / or the outer suction cup 41 can be stably installed at the limiting hole 433 and are difficult to come out.

[0070] It is understandable that the extension portion 412 may also be in the shape of a cylinder 52, and the annular groove 413 is provided on the side of the cylinder 52. In the present application, the specific shape of the extension portion 412 is not specifically limited, as long as the inner and outer suction cups 41 are difficult to escape from the limiting hole 433.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure that the cup holder 4 is separated from the work surface before the mixing cup 2 is separated from the cup holder 4, the inner suction cup 42 is larger than the outer suction cup 41, so that the force-bearing surface between the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2 is larger and the adsorption force is stronger.

[0072] Implementation 2: Reference Figure 5 , 6 7. In order to simplify the structure of the cup holder 4 and facilitate the cleaning of the cup holder 4, the inner suction cup 42 is fixedly arranged on the outer bottom wall of the blending cup 2, that is, the outer bottom wall of the blending cup 2 is fixed with the inner suction cup 42 with the opening facing downward, and the cup holder 4 is adsorbed on the bottom of the blending cup 2 through the inner suction cup 42 to reach the first state.

[0073] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the food processor further comprises a support frame 5 for supporting the inner suction cup 42, the support frame 5 comprises a support body 51 and a radially reduced column 52 disposed above the support body 51, the inner suction cup 42 comprises a through hole 421 for the column 52 to pass through, and the inner top surface of the inner suction cup 42 abuts against the support body 51. A radially reduced column 52 is disposed above the support body 51, and the column 52 passes through the through hole 421 on the inner suction cup 42 to achieve radial limitation of multiple inner suction cups 42, and also enhances the local strength of the inner suction cup 42. The specific installation method is that the column 52 is inserted into the through hole 421 to limit the radial position of the inner suction cup 42, and the support frame 5 is aligned with the matching groove of the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup 2 after the column 52 is plugged and matched with the inner suction cup 42, and then the screws are sequentially passed through the support body 51 of the support frame 5, the through hole of the column 52, the through hole of the bottom surface of the stirring cup 2 and the internal thread groove of the fixing column from bottom to top, and are screwed and locked to clamp the adsorption body 411 between the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup 2 and the support frame 5. A wear-resistant gasket can also be set between the bottom surface of the support frame 5 and the nut of the screw to prevent the wear of the support frame 5.

[0074] It is understandable that the fixing method of the inner suction cup 42 and the mixing cup 2 is not limited to the above fixing method, for example, it can also be fixed by gluing, and the position is not limited to being coaxial with the fixing column, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the cup holder 4 includes a surrounding wall 44 surrounding the side of the stirring cup 2, and a sealing rib is sleeved on the top of the surrounding wall 44. The stirring cup 2 and the surrounding wall 44 are interference fit through the sealing rib to achieve a first state, that is, the cup holder 4 is directly assembled and fixed with the stirring cup 2 through the sealing rib.

[0076] By providing a sealing rib on the surrounding wall 44 of the cup holder 4, the mixing cup 2 and the surrounding wall 44 are interference-fitted through the sealing rib to reach the first state, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2. In this solution, there is no need to provide an inner suction cup 42 on the bottom of the mixing cup 2, nor is there a need to provide an inner suction cup 42 on the bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4, which greatly simplifies the internal structure of the cup holder 4 and the bottom structure of the mixing cup 2, and is also convenient for cleaning the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2. At the same time, the sealing rib is sleeved on the top of the surrounding wall 44, and the user can also remove the sealing rib relative to the cup holder 4 for cleaning. The cup holder 4 is provided with the surrounding wall 44, which is also convenient for improving the radial limit of the cup holder 4 on the mixing cup 2, and helps to improve the working stability of the food processor.

[0077] It should be noted that the direct assembly and fixation of the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 in the present application means that the cup holder 4 and the blending cup 2 can be directly fixed in contact, or can be directly assembled and fixed through a third part, such as sealing ribs, suction cups, etc., but does not include the use of basic components of the food processor itself as a third part, such as a cup cover 3, a main unit 1, etc.

[0078] Embodiment 2:

[0079] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the basic components of the food processor itself are fixed to the cup holder 4, thereby indirectly limiting the position of the mixing cup 2 and the cup holder 4. Figures 3 to 5 The food processor of this embodiment includes a first state in which at least the main unit 1, the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 are assembled and fixed, and a second state in which the main unit 1, the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 are separately arranged.

[0080] It should be noted that in the first state of this solution, the host 1, the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 must be assembled and fixed. The specific assembly and fixing method is not specifically limited. For example, the host 1 and the cup holder 4 can be assembled and fixed to clamp the blending cup 2 between the host 1 and the cup holder 4; the host 1 and the blending cup 2 can be assembled and fixed, and the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 can be assembled and fixed; or the cup mouth of the blending cup 2 can be covered with a cup cover 3, and the host 1, the blending cup 2, the cup cover 3, and the cup holder 4 can be assembled and fixed. In the second state, the host 1 can be disassembled and separated from the blending cup 2 and / or the blending cup 2 can be disassembled and separated from the cup holder 4 and / or the host 1.

[0081] In this embodiment, by setting a first state in which at least the main unit 1, the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 are assembled and fixed, on the one hand, a basic condition is provided for realizing the intelligence of the food processor. On the other hand, regardless of whether the food processor is intelligent or not, the main unit 1, the blending cup 2 and the cup holder 4 are attached to the work surface as a whole, which greatly improves the stability of the food processor during operation and helps to reduce working noise.

[0082] It should be noted that the intelligence described in the present application means that after the user selects a function and presses the start button, he can release the start button and the food processor can continue to work, that is, the user does not need to continue pressing the start button.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and 4 In this embodiment, the cup holder 4 includes a surrounding wall 44 that wraps around the side of the stirring cup 2. By setting the cup holder 4 to include the surrounding wall 44 that wraps around the side of the stirring cup 2, the surrounding wall 44 can limit the stirring cup 2 in the radial direction. At the same time, two extension plates 45 that are opposite and extend upward are set at the top of the surrounding wall 44, and the plate body 451 of the extension plate 45 can further limit the stirring cup 2 in the radial direction. The top of each extension plate 45 is provided with an outward-turned flange 452, and the main machine 1 is provided with a buckle 11 that can be folded downward. When the buckle 11 is buckled in place, it is buckled under the flange 452 to achieve the positioning of the stirring cup 2 between the main machine 1 and the cup holder 4, that is, at least the cup holder 4 and the main machine 1 can form a whole adsorbed on the work surface, thereby improving the working stability of the whole machine.

[0084] It is understandable that a plurality of extension plates 45 may be provided along the circumference of the blending cup 2, such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc., to reinforce the radial position limitation of the blending cup 2. When the number of extension plates 45 is greater than 2, the number of buckles 11 provided on the main machine 1 does not have to be the same as the number of extension plates 45, as long as it is greater than or equal to 2.

[0085] More preferably, the food processor further comprises a cup cover 3 arranged on the mouth of the blending cup 2, the edge of the cup cover 3 overlaps the top of the cup mouth, the mouth of the blending cup 2 is provided with an outward-turned lug, and when the flange 452 of the extension plate 45 of the main unit 1 and the cup holder 4 are snapped into place, the cup cover 3 and the blending cup 2 can be clamped and limited between the main unit 1 and the cup holder 4.

[0086] Of course, the handle 11 is not necessarily provided on the main unit 1, for example, it can be provided on the side of the extension plate 45, the side of the main unit 1 is provided with a convex portion, and the handle 11 is folded upward and engaged with the top of the convex portion. Alternatively, the handle 11 is replaced by a separate limiting sleeve, for example, the side of the main unit 1 is provided with a first lug, and the mixing cup 2 is provided with a second lug, and the first lug, the second lug and the flange 452 of the extension plate 45 are clamped by the limiting sleeve, so that the mixing cup 2 is indirectly assembled and fixed between the main unit 1 and the cup holder 4.

[0087] More specifically, in another preferred embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , the blending cup 2 is set to be a glass cup, which has the advantages of being easy to rinse and having good visibility. On this basis, the cup holder 4 is provided to include a surrounding wall 44 that wraps around the side of the blending cup 2 and two extension plates 45 that are arranged at the top of the surrounding wall 44 and extend upward, the extension plate 45 includes a plate body 451 and an outwardly turned flange 452 that is arranged at the top of the plate body 451, and two adjacent extension plates 45 are arranged at intervals to form a visible area 453, so that the user can observe the crushing status of the food through the visible area 453. It can be understood that the extension plates 45 can be set to be more than two, as long as any two adjacent extension plates 45 are arranged at intervals to form a visible area 453. In other words, the number of extension parts 412 in this embodiment can be multiple.

[0088] It should be noted that the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present application can also be combined, that is, the cup holder 4 is directly assembled and fixed with the stirring cup 2, and can also be indirectly assembled and fixed with the handle 11 of the main unit 1 through the flange 452 of the extension plate 45, which includes two fixing methods.

[0089] In another preferred embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 , the height of the surrounding wall 44 of the cup holder 4 is further limited. The cup holder 4 includes a surrounding wall 44 that wraps around the side of the mixing cup 2. The height of the surrounding wall 44 is H1, and the height of the mixing cup 2 is H2, wherein the range of H1 / H2 is between 0.1 and 0.5. Such a configuration can not only realize the radial position limitation of the mixing cup 2 by the surrounding wall 44 of the cup holder 4, thereby improving the working stability of the food processor, but also avoid the excessive lateral shielding of the mixing cup 2 by the cup holder 4 due to being too high, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the cup holder 4, especially when the mixing cup 2 is made of transparent material, the influence of the surrounding wall 44 on the visibility of the mixing cup 2 can be avoided.

[0090] It should be noted that in this embodiment, whether or not an extension plate 45 is provided above the surrounding wall 44 is not specifically limited. When an extension plate 45 is provided, H1 still refers to the height of the surrounding wall 44 itself, excluding the extension plate 45. This embodiment can be applied to both the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

[0091] In the assembly and fixation of the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2, in addition to the axial fixation of the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2, the radial limit between the cup holder 4 and the mixing cup 2 is also very important. If the mixing cup 2 deviates radially relative to the cup holder 4, it will not only produce radial collision noise, but also make it difficult for the main unit 1, the mixing blade 21, and the mixing bowl to be on the same axis, thereby affecting the rotation of the mixing blade 21. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 7A groove 431 with an upward opening is further provided on the bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4, and a support rib 22 is convexly provided on the outer bottom wall of the stirring cup 2, and the support rib 22 is limitedly matched with the groove 431. The radial position limitation of the stirring cup 2 by the cup holder 4 is achieved by plugging and matching the support rib 22 and the groove 431. This embodiment can be applied to the above-mentioned embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0092] It is understood that, in another embodiment, reference Figure 4 , a through hole 432 for inserting the support rib 22 of the stirring cup 2 can also be provided on the bottom wall 43 of the cup holder 4, and the hole wall of the through hole 432 can realize radial positioning of the stirring cup 2. Moreover, an annular plate 434 is provided outside the edge of the through hole 432, and the bottom surface of the stirring cup 2 is supported on the annular plate 434, further improving the support reliability of the cup holder 4 for the stirring cup 2. This embodiment can be applied to the above-mentioned embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0093] The technical solution protected by the present utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. It should be pointed out that the combination of the technical solution of any embodiment with the technical solution of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to it based on the present utility model. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
