Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technology of the food processor field, in particular to a food processor head-lifting mechanism and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] A food processor is a machine such as a blender, a shredder or a multi-function machine. It is commonly used in people's lives and can be used to blend and process vegetables, fruits, beans, flour, eggs, cream and other foods. During operation, the machine head drives the mixing component to rotate in the mixing container, and when putting food in the mixing container, the machine head needs to be lifted up (also called lifting the head) to facilitate the operation of taking and putting food.

[0003] Common lifting mechanisms, such as the food processor disclosed in CN 209932485U, include a machine head and a machine body. The rear end of the machine head has a downward extension column, and the rear end of the machine body has an upward extension column. The downward extension column is installed above the upward extension column, and the downward extension column can be lifted upward relative to the upward extension column. When the machine head is in a non-working state (including a storage state), the machine head extends forward perpendicular to the downward extension column, occupying a large space.

[0004] Some mixer heads do not adopt the method of lifting upward, but adopt the method of horizontal rotation offset. For example, CN 205162720U discloses a food processor, whose upper arm can be horizontally pivoted at the upper end of the column. When stirring, the upper arm is horizontally pivoted to the position connected to the stirring knife group, and the stirring knife group can be driven to achieve the purpose of stirring. When cooking, the stirring component is removed, the cooking component is placed, the stirring blade is driven by the lower transmission component of the base, and the cooking cup is heated by the heating component to achieve the purpose of cooking. At this time, the upper arm can be pivoted away from the top of the cooking cup. This kind of horizontal rotation offset structure has the problem of occupying a large space when the upper arm is in a non-working state (including the storage state), whether the upper arm is extended forward or the upper arm is horizontally rotated and offset to one side of the base.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
