Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Commonly used food processors such as meat grinders usually include a cup body, a cup cover and a main unit. A meat grinder or a dough kneading rod can be installed in the cup body to realize different processing functions. The cup cover is closed with the cup body, and the main unit is placed on the cup cover. When the above-mentioned food processor is stirring (such as mincing meat, kneading dough, etc.), if the main unit adopts a small cylindrical main unit, this type of main unit is small in size and light in weight. The main unit is affected by the force of the stirring part. When the user is distracted and does not press the main unit, the food processor is prone to jump or even tip over and hit the user. The reliability of use is low and there are safety hazards. This type of food processor requires the user to press the food processor hard all the time to make the food processor work stably, which makes the user unable to free his hands and the user experience is poor.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, existing products such as patent CN219397062U disclose a food processor, which includes a mixing bowl, a bowl cover, a main unit and a base. The base includes a accommodating cavity for accommodating the mixing bowl. A fixing component is provided on the base. The fixing component prevents the food processor from rotating in a circumferential direction of the base and from moving in a vertical direction. An adsorption component is also provided at the bottom of the base for attracting the table top supporting the food processor. Through the above structure, the food processor will not jump, shift or tip over and hit the consumer during the mixing process, and has a certain stability.

[0004] However, in the above scheme, the fixing component only fixes the bowl cover, but not the main machine. The stirring element (meat grinder or dough kneading rod) will be subjected to the reaction force generated by the material during operation, and the reaction force will be transmitted to the main machine. If the user does not press the main machine or the main machine is not fixed, the main machine may still rotate and fly away due to the reaction force, and there is still a safety problem in use; and the above base completely wraps the mixing bowl in the circumferential direction, which affects the visualization of the mixing bowl. The user cannot see the processing inside the mixing bowl during the operation of the machine, resulting in a poor user experience and is not conducive to improving the user experience. In addition, in the above structure, there is a situation where the main machine starts to work when the bowl cover, mixing bowl and base are not installed in place. In this case, it is easy for the main machine to be pushed open, the bowl cover to be offset, causing the rotation of the stirring element to be interfered and stuck, or even the bowl cover and the main machine to be separated from the mixing bowl, causing the stirring element to be exposed and fly out. There is a high safety risk, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of product use. Utility Model Content

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0051] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present application provides a reliable food processor, including a cup body assembly and a main unit 12 arranged above the cup body assembly, the cup body assembly is provided with a stirring member, the main unit 12 is provided with a driving assembly for driving the stirring member to work, the cup body assembly includes a cup body 10 and a cup cover 11 covering the cup mouth of the cup body 10, a fixing assembly is provided between the main unit 12 and the cup body 10, a safety switch is provided in the main unit 12, and the safety switch is triggered only when the fixing assembly fixes the main unit 12 and the cup body 10 and the cup cover 11 is clamped at the cup mouth.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the food processor can be a meat grinder, which is not limited to mincing meat and vegetables, and can also be used for dough kneading. For example, the stirring piece can be replaceably arranged on the cup body 10. The stirring piece can be a meat grinder or a dough kneading piece. Users can replace different types of stirring pieces according to different needs to achieve different processing functions, thereby improving the versatility of the product. Specifically, when installing the food processor, first cover the cup body 10 with the cup cover 11, and then place the main unit 12 on the cup cover 11. The motor 17 in the main unit 12 is connected to the stirring piece through transmission. After the machine is started, the motor 17 can drive the stirring piece to rotate and process the food. By fixing the main unit 12, the problem of the main unit 12 jumping, swinging, and tipping over to hit the user during the operation of the machine can be effectively solved, and the working stability of the main unit 12 can be improved, which provides the basic conditions for realizing the intelligent operation of the food processor so that the user can work without continuously pressing the main unit. When the host 12 is fixed, the host 12 of the present application can adopt mechanical pressing operation (the host needs to be pressed continuously when the machine is working) or intelligent button control (the host does not need to be pressed when the machine is working), both of which are included in the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] On the one hand, the present application solves the problem of the instability of the host 12, and on the other hand, it can also solve the problem of false triggering of the machine, that is, the safety switch can only be triggered when the host 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are installed in place. This can avoid the situation where the host 12 is not installed in place and is thrown away when started, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the machine.

[0055] It is understandable that the safety switch is triggered only when the fixing assembly fixes the main unit 12 and the cup body 10 and the cup cover 11 is clamped at the cup mouth. Then, in the opposite case, that is, when the main unit 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are not installed in place, the safety switch will not be triggered.

[0056] In one embodiment, the safety switch can be triggered by a mechanical structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a trigger link 121 for triggering the safety switch is provided in the main unit 12, and a trigger rib 111 is provided on the top surface of the cup cover 11 for causing the trigger link 121 to move axially. When the main unit 12 is installed, if the main unit 12 and the cup body 10 are installed in place, the trigger rib 111 pushes the trigger link 121 upward to move up to trigger the safety switch to turn on. On the contrary, when the main unit 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are not installed in place, the distance that the trigger link 121 moves upward due to the trigger rib 111 is less than the trigger stroke of the safety switch, and the safety switch will not be triggered to turn on.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, a spring 122 is sleeved on the trigger link 121, and the elastic force of the spring 122 is set to be greater than the weight of the host 12. Then, when the host 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are not installed in place, the spring 122 will lift the host 12 and thus will not trigger the safety switch.

[0058] Furthermore, when the host 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are not installed in place, the bottom surface of the host 12 may be tilted, including the following situations: First, after the host 12 is placed, the trigger link 121 and the trigger rib 111 are aligned, but because the gravity of the host 12 is less than the spring force, the trigger link 121 will only move upward a small distance, which will cause the host on the side where the trigger link 121 is located to be higher, while the host on the opposite side is lower, which will cause the bottom surface of the host to tilt; Second, after the host 12 is placed, the trigger link 121 is located on the radial inside or outside of the trigger rib 111, causing the two to be misaligned, and the exposed length of the trigger link 121 is greater than the length of the trigger rib 111, which will cause the host on the side where the trigger link 121 is located to be higher, while the host on the opposite side is lower, which will cause the bottom surface of the host to tilt. It can be understood that the above only lists two situations, and there may be other situations that cause the bottom surface of the host to tilt, and these schemes are also included in the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] In the solution where the fixing assembly includes a lock buckle 13 and a lug 14, illustratively, as Figure 5 As shown, the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are provided at two locations correspondingly, and the trigger link 121 is provided on the central axis of the two lock buckles 13 or the lug 14. Then, when only one side of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are buckled, the trigger link 121 will not be pressed down and triggered due to the one-sided buckling, and the spring 122 will lift the main unit 12 from the side that is not buckled, and the safety switch will not be triggered either.

[0060] In another embodiment, the safety switch can also be triggered in other ways. For example, the fixing assembly includes a lock 13 and a lug 14, the lock 13 is flipably connected to the lug 14, one of the lock 13 and the lug 14 is provided on the host 12, and the other is provided on the cup body 10, and one of the host 12 and the cup body 10 is provided with a Hall element 19, and the other is provided with a magnet 20.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the Hall element 19 senses the magnet 20 (corresponding magnetic pole), the safety switch is triggered, and the machine can start working at this time. On the contrary, when the lock 13 and the lug 14 are not snapped into place, the Hall element 19 cannot sense the magnet 20 (corresponding magnetic pole), and the machine cannot work, ensuring safety of use.

[0062] In one example, if Figure 8As shown, the lock 13 is arranged on the cup body 10, the lug 14 is arranged on the host 12, a magnet 20 is installed inside the lock 13, and a Hall element 19 is installed inside the host 12. When the lock 13 is turned over and snapped into place with the lug 14, the Hall element 19 can sense the magnet 20 (corresponding magnetic pole), and the circuit is connected and the machine can work. Among them, the Hall element 19 can be arranged on the lug 14 or at other positions of the host 12, and this application does not limit it. For example, in one example, the lug 14 adopts a hollow structure, and its interior can be used to accommodate and install the Hall element 19.

[0063] Based on this triggering method, when the host 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are not installed in place, the bottom surface of the host 12 can also be in a horizontal state. For example, in one solution, the lock 13 and the lug 14 are misplaced, and the bottom surface of the host is horizontal at this time. However, since the Hall element 19 cannot sense the magnet 20 (the corresponding magnetic pole), the machine cannot work at this time. In another solution, the trigger rib 111 on the cup cover 11 is a single small-sized protruding structure (i.e., a non-annular trigger rib). When the trigger link 121 is misplaced with the trigger rib 111, and the exposed length of the trigger link 121 is less than the length of the trigger rib 111 (the trigger link 121 and the trigger rib 111 overlap in the axial direction), the bottom surface of the host is horizontal at this time, and the machine cannot work.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the fixing assembly includes a lock buckle 13 and a lug 14 , one of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 is disposed on the host 12 , and the other of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 is disposed on the cup body 10 .

[0065] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the lock buckle 13 is arranged on the main body 12, and the lug 14 is arranged on the cup body 10. When the main body 12 is installed, the main body 12 and the cup body 10 can be fixed by aligning the lock buckle 13 with the lug 14. It can be understood that the arrangement positions of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 can be replaced, that is, the lock buckle 13 is arranged on the cup body 10, and the lug 14 is arranged on the main body 12, and the main body 12 and the cup body 10 can also be fixed.

[0066] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the lock buckle 13 is provided with a radially protruding limiting rib 131, and the lug 14 is provided with a matching rib 141. When the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are buckled into place, the limiting rib 131 and the matching rib 141 abut against each other.

[0067] When the lock 13 is provided on the main body 12 and the lug 14 is provided on the cup body 10, Figure 7As shown, a downwardly protruding mating rib 141 is provided at the bottom edge of the lug 14. When the lock buckle 13 is turned over and fastened, the limiting rib 131 is engaged below the mating rib 141. The two can be, for example, interference fit, thereby improving the firmness of the fixation of the lock buckle 13 and preventing the lock buckle 13 from loosening. It is understandable that when the lock buckle 13 is provided on the cup body 10 and the lug 14 is provided on the main unit 12, the positional relationship between the limiting rib 131 and the mating rib 141 when they abut against each other is opposite to the above, that is, the limiting rib 131 is engaged above the mating rib 141, and at this time, the lock buckle 13 can also be prevented from loosening. Figure 6 As shown, the limiting rib 131 is a boss, which can be extended horizontally or tilted, so as to be conveniently fixed with the matching rib 141.

[0068] Furthermore, the inner wall of the lock buckle 13 is further provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 132, and the reinforcing ribs 132 extend from one end of the lock buckle 13 to the limiting rib 131. Figure 6 As shown, by providing a reinforcing rib 132, one end of which extends to connect with the limiting rib 131, the structural strength of the limiting rib 131 can be enhanced to prevent the limiting rib 131 from breaking, thereby improving the reliability of the fixing component and extending its service life.

The main unit 12 is also provided with a second edge 16 connected to the first edge 15, and the second edge 16 covers the outer side of the lug 14 to limit the circumferential rotation of the cup body 10 relative to the main unit 12.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, by setting the first surrounding edge 15 and the second surrounding edge 16, the axial, radial and circumferential positioning of the main unit 12 and the cup body 10 can be achieved, which can further improve the stability of the whole machine and avoid relative movement between the components. It can be understood that the scheme of setting the first surrounding edge 15 and the second surrounding edge 16 is also applicable to the case where the positions of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are interchanged, that is, when the lock buckle 13 is set on the cup body 10 and the lug 14 is set on the main unit 12, the first surrounding edge 15 and the second surrounding edge 16 can be set on the top of the cup body 10 to strengthen the positioning between the main unit 12 and the cup body 10.

[0071] In another embodiment, the lock buckle 13 is arranged on the host 12, the lug 14 is arranged on the cup body 10, and the lock buckle 13 is provided with a second edge 16, which covers the outer side of the lug 14 to limit the circumferential rotation of the cup body 10 relative to the host 12.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second surrounding edge 16 can be directly provided on the lock buckle 13, which can simplify the structure of the host 12. The cup body 10 can be strengthened to prevent rotation while being fixed by the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14, which can further improve the stability of the whole machine. It can be understood that the above scheme is also applicable to the case where the positions of the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are interchanged, that is, when the lock buckle 13 is provided on the cup body 10 and the lug 14 is provided on the host 12, when the lock buckle 13 and the lug 14 are buckled, the second surrounding edge 16 on the lock buckle 13 can be used to prevent the cup body 10 from rotating.

[0073] In another embodiment, the lock buckle 13 is arranged on the main unit 12, the lug 14 is arranged on the cup body 10, the side of the main unit 12 is provided with a second peripheral edge 16 protruding radially outward, the lock buckle 13 is fixed above the second peripheral edge 16, and the second peripheral edge 16 limits the flipping angle of the lock buckle 13.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the second surrounding edge 16 covers the outer side of the lug 14 to prevent the cup body 10 from rotating, and can be used to limit the flip angle of the lock buckle 13, so that when the lock buckle 13 is flipped into place (fastened with the lug 14), it provides a sense of being in place, thereby improving the user experience. It can be understood that when the lock buckle 13 is provided on the cup body 10 and the lug 14 is provided on the host 12, the cup body 10 is provided with the second surrounding edge 16, and the lock buckle 13 can be fixed below the second surrounding edge 16.

[0075] To realize the installation of the lock 13, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting groove 123 with an upward opening is provided on the outer wall of the host 12, and a horizontally extending rotating shaft 133 is provided at the upper end of the lock buckle 13. The rotating shaft 133 is installed in the mounting groove 123, so that the lock buckle 13 can be flipped relative to the host 12.

[0076] In this embodiment, the lock buckle 13 can be connected or disconnected with the lug 14 in a flip manner, which is convenient for operation. Figure 7 As shown, when the lock 13 is buckled in place, the lock 13 is wrapped around the outer side of the lug 14, which is firmly fixed and has a beautiful appearance. Similarly, when the lock 13 is arranged on the cup body 10, the lock 13 can also be rotatably installed on the cup body 10, so that the lock 13 is turned over to buckle or unlock with the lug 14 on the host 12.

[0077] In one embodiment, an axially movable trigger rod 121 is disposed in the main unit 12 , the lower end of the trigger rod 121 extends out of the main unit 12 , and the bottom end of the trigger rod 121 is higher than the bottom end of the peripheral wall of the bottom edge of the main unit 12 .

[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, if the bottom end of the trigger link 121 is lower than the bottom end of the peripheral wall at the bottom edge of the main unit 12, that is, the bottom end of the trigger link 121 is lower than the bottom end of the first peripheral edge 15 of the main unit 12, when the main unit 12 is placed upside down on the operating table alone, it is easy for the trigger link 121 to be accidentally triggered, causing the safety switch to be turned on. If a meat grinder is connected to the main unit 12 and is not removed in time, it is easy for the meat grinder to start rotating and injure the user, increasing the safety risk. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the position of the trigger link 121.

[0079] Regarding the installation of the cup cover 11, in one embodiment, the cup cover 11 includes a cover body 112 and an annular flange 113 extending outward from the edge of the cover body 112, the annular flange 113 overlaps the top surface of the cup mouth of the cup body 10, and the lower end of the cover body 112 extends into the cup body 10 and is sealed with the cup body 10.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, the top surface of the cup cover 11 is also provided with a trigger rib 111 protruding upward, and the trigger rib 111 is, for example, arranged in a ring shape on the inner side of the ring flange 113, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the main unit 12 is provided with a trigger link 121, and an annular limiting groove 124 is provided on the bottom surface of the main unit 12. The lower end of the trigger link 121 extends out from the limiting groove 124. The limiting groove 124 can play a certain limiting role, and can reduce the probability of deflection during the axial movement of the trigger link 121. When the user places the main unit 12 on the cup cover 11, the trigger rib 111 can push the trigger link 121 to move upward, and at the same time, the annular trigger rib 111 can be inserted into the annular limiting groove 124 to achieve limiting.

[0081] An annular groove is provided on the peripheral wall at the lower end of the cover body 112 for installing a sealing ring, which can be used to seal the fitting gap between the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10. This can prevent the food, water, etc. in the cup body 10 from overflowing / splashing during food processing, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the main unit 12. The user only needs to clean the cup body 10 and the cup cover 11, which reduces the cleaning burden of the user.

[0082] In another embodiment, the inner wall of the cup body 10 is provided with inwardly protruding support ribs (not shown in the figure), the support ribs are located below the cup mouth, and the cup cover 11 is overlapped on the support ribs.

[0083] In this embodiment, the cup cover 11 is partially sunken below the mouth of the cup, so that the cup cover 11 can be installed through the support ribs in the cup body 10. At the same time, the top surface of the cup cover 11 is provided with a trigger rib 111 protruding upward, and the trigger rib 111 is set higher than the mouth of the cup, so that when the host 12 is put down, the trigger rib 111 can be used to trigger the trigger link 121 on the host 12. Among them, the support rib can be annular support ribs, or it can include a plurality of sheet-shaped sub-support ribs arranged at intervals along the circumference to support the cup cover 11. Furthermore, in order to prevent the cup cover 11 from being easily lifted up during the use of the machine, the support rib and the cup cover 11 can be fixed by means such as snap connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0084] Regarding the shape of the main unit 12, in one embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a lock 13 and a lug 14, the main unit 12 includes a cylindrical main body and a radially enlarged mounting portion located at the bottom of the main body, and one of the mounting portion and the cup body 10 is provided with a lock 13, and the other one is provided with a lug 14.

In another embodiment, the host 12 includes a first body 125 and a second body 126 connected to the bottom of the first body 125 and radially expanded, the drive assembly includes a motor 17 and a reduction box 18 connected to the bottom of the motor 17, the motor 17 is at least partially accommodated in the first body 125, and the reduction box 18 is accommodated in the second body 126. In this solution, the mounting portion is the second body 126.

[0087] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the segmented structure of the first body 125 and the second body 126 can avoid the overall volume of the host 12 being too large and affecting the miniaturization of the machine. The first body 125 is slender and the second body 126 is flat. The user can take the host 12 through the first body 125, which is convenient for use. Figure 2 As shown, a first accommodating area is formed in the first body 125, a second accommodating area is formed in the second body 126, a part of the motor 17 or the motor 17 is completely accommodated in the first accommodating area, and the reduction box 18 is accommodated in the second accommodating area. By setting the reduction box 18, the machine can adapt to different rotation speeds to perform different processing functions (such as mincing meat, kneading noodles, etc.) to meet the different needs of users.

[0088] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a smart button is provided on the host 12, and the smart button is used to control the start and stop of the driving component after being released after selection.

[0089] By setting up smart buttons, the host can be operated with one button. Users no longer need to keep pressing the host to work, which can free their hands and improve the user experience. Specifically, after the user selects the required processing mode (such as mincing meat, kneading noodles, etc.), the machine can start and keep working by pressing the button, realizing intelligent operation of the machine without the need for user supervision.

[0090] Furthermore, based on the above one-button operation, in order to further improve the working stability of the whole machine, in some embodiments, a suction piece is provided at the bottom of the cup body, and the suction piece can fix the food processor on the work surface, so as to prevent the food processor from deflecting, shaking or even tipping over on the work surface, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of use. The suction piece can be a suction cup or other suction structure.

[0091] Furthermore, the smart button can be arranged on the above-mentioned main body, the first body 125 or the second body 126, and the specific arrangement is based on actual needs, which is not required by this application.

For example, in one embodiment, the fixing component includes a first boss 21 provided on the side of the main unit 12, a second boss 22 provided on the side of the cup body 10, and a fixing sleeve 23, wherein one side of the fixing sleeve 23 is provided with an opening, and the fixing sleeve 23 clamps the first boss 21 and the second boss 22 through the opening to form an interference fit.

[0093] The main unit 12 and the cup body 10 can also be fixed by using a separate fixing sleeve 23 to clamp the first boss 21 and the second boss 22. The fixing sleeve 23 can be freely disassembled and assembled, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement, etc., and is conducive to extending the service life of the fixing component.

[0094] When installing the host 12, align the first boss 21 and the second boss 22, then put on the fixing sleeve 23 from the side to clamp the first boss 21 and the second boss 22, which is easy to operate. Further, in this scheme, the safety switch can be triggered by a mechanical structure (such as the trigger link 121 mentioned above), or the safety switch can be triggered by the Hall element 19 sensing the magnet 20 (corresponding magnetic pole). For example, one of the first boss 21 (or the second boss 22) and the fixing sleeve 23 is provided with a Hall element 19, and the other is provided with a magnet 20. When the fixing sleeve 23 is installed in place, that is, the host 12, the cup cover 11 and the cup body 10 are installed in place, the Hall element 19 can sense the magnet 20 (corresponding magnetic pole), and the machine can start working.
