Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing food processors usually include a main unit and a grinding cup installed on the main unit. For the convenience of users, the grinding cup can be removed from the main unit. However, in the process of taking the grinding cup, the remaining cleaning water may flow to the mounting platform of the main unit, causing water accumulation on the mounting platform or water intrusion into the main unit. Patents with application numbers 202222932958.7 and 202120246720.1 disclose ways to discharge the accumulated water above the mounting platform to the outside.

[0003] The first patent mentioned above discloses a food processing machine that is easy to use. The installation platform is provided with a water leakage hole connected to the outside world. While the crushing cup is easy to disassemble, the accumulated water on the installation platform can also be discharged, thereby improving the waterproofness of the whole machine and preventing water from entering the main machine. In this solution, a brushed motor is used. The brushed motor generally includes a motor bracket and a motor body. The assembly of the motor component and the arrangement of the drainage channel can be well avoided, so that the drainage channel is a straight-through type or a flexible curved setting.

[0004] However, for a host machine equipped with a brushless motor, such as the food processor disclosed in the patent application number 202120246720.1, the height of the host machine can be reduced by using a brushless motor, but the composition of the brushless motor usually includes an upper end cover, a lower end cover and a motor installed between the upper end cover and the lower end cover. The drainage channel needs to be divided into multiple sections. If an upper and lower straight-through drainage channel is used, the assembly of the various components of the motor assembly and the motor assembly and the host machine needs to be precisely aligned, which makes assembly difficult and the transfer efficiency low. Moreover, it is impossible to ensure that the multiple drainage channels are reliably connected, causing water to accumulate inside the host machine, resulting in incomplete drainage and damage to electrical components. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a food processing machine, which can solve the technical problem of low assembly efficiency caused by the difficulty of alignment between components in the main machine in the prior art, on the basis of realizing reliable drainage of water accumulated on the installation platform.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] The utility model provides a food processing machine, comprising a main machine, a crushing cup installed in the main machine, a motor assembly and a support seat, the motor assembly comprising an upper end cover and a lower end cover fixed below the upper end cover, the upper end cover and the lower end cover are enclosed to form an installation cavity for installing the motor, the crushing cup is detachably installed above the upper end cover, the side wall of the installation cavity is provided with a first channel, the entrance of the first channel is opened in the upper end cover, the support seat is provided with a second channel connected to the outside, the entrance of the second channel corresponds to the exit position of the first channel and is larger than the exit of the first channel.

[0008] The food processing machine provided by the utility model has a motor assembly including an upper end cover and a lower end cover fixed below the upper end cover, the upper end cover and the lower end cover are enclosed to form an installation cavity for installing the motor, the upper end cover is used to form a support platform, and the crushing cup is detachably installed above the upper end cover, which can reduce the height of the whole machine, so that the center of gravity of the whole machine is stable and the operation is stable. By setting a first channel on the side wall of the installation cavity, the entrance of the first channel is opened on the upper end cover, so that the water that falls on the upper end cover during the removal of the crushing cup can leak out from the entrance of the first channel, preventing the upper end cover, that is, the support platform, from accumulating water, and by setting a second channel connected to the outside world on the support seat, the entrance of the second channel corresponds to the exit position of the first channel and is larger than the exit of the first channel, and the second channel continues to guide the accumulated water discharged from the first channel to the outside world, reducing the probability of water ingress and damage to the internal components of the host. Since the first channel and the second channel are respectively located on the separate motor assembly and the support base, the first channel and the second channel are connected after the motor assembly and the support base are assembled. Therefore, the entrance of the second channel is larger than the exit of the first channel. Regardless of whether a plug-in connection method or an upper and lower alignment connection method is adopted, the alignment and assembly difficulty of the motor assembly and the support base can be reduced during the assembly of the motor assembly and the support base, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure the reliable connection between the first channel and the second channel, thereby achieving the complete discharge of water.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the second channel includes a vertically extending water pipe and a water collecting section connected to the upper end of the water pipe and having an enlarged inner diameter, and an upper port of the water collecting section corresponds to the outlet of the first channel and is larger than the outlet of the first channel.

[0010] The second channel includes a water collection section with an enlarged inner diameter and a water guide pipe. The partially enlarged water collection section is used to effectively receive the water discharged from the outlet of the first channel. The water collection section has the effect of gathering the water flow and accelerating the flow, thereby achieving complete drainage. In addition, the water guide pipe is smaller than the water collection section, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space, so as to reasonably avoid other components inside the main unit, making the structural arrangement of the motor assembly and the support seat more compact.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the axis of the water conduit is offset relative to the outlet center of the first channel.

[0012] In the prior art, when a multi-section drainage channel that is connected from top to bottom is used, it is usually necessary to align the drainage channel up and down to achieve conduction. For the main machine of the food processing machine, if the first channel and the second channel are completely aligned, the assembly position between the motor assembly and the support seat will be relatively rigid, and the space cannot be reasonably used. Therefore, the second channel is provided with a water collection section, which is used to receive the water discharged from the outlet of the first channel, and the water guide pipe further guides the water flow to be discharged, so that the axis of the water guide pipe can be offset to one side relative to the outlet center of the first channel. The discharge path of the accumulated water does not require the multi-section channel to be completely aligned up and down, so that the placement of the motor and the internal parts of the support seat, such as the residual water box, the position of the drainage hole on the base, etc., provides a certain flexibility, and the drainage channel can reasonably avoid other parts, while ensuring that the accumulated water above the support platform is completely discharged.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the water collection section is a water collection trough provided on the top wall of the support seat, and the water guide pipe is arranged along the side wall of the support seat;

[0014] Alternatively, the water collecting section is a water collecting pipe which gradually contracts from top to bottom, and the water collecting pipe is butt-jointed with the water guiding pipe.

[0015] A water collecting trough is arranged on the top wall of the support seat, the notch of the water collecting trough is open, and the outlet of the first channel is arranged opposite to the notch or extends into the notch, so that the water discharged from the first channel is collected in the water collecting trough to avoid accumulation on the top wall of the support seat, and the water conduit is arranged along the side wall of the support seat. Therefore, the second channel is directly formed by utilizing the top wall and side wall of the support seat, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the support seat.

[0016] The water collecting section is a water collecting pipe which gradually contracts from top to bottom. The water collecting pipe is butt-jointed with the water guide pipe. A separate water collecting pipe is used to collect the water flow in the first channel, so that the accumulated water on the supporting platform can be effectively discharged.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the outlet of the first channel is located above the inlet of the second channel;

[0018] Alternatively, the first channel is inserted downwardly into the inlet of the second channel.

[0019] By placing the outlet of the first channel directly above the inlet of the second channel, after the motor assembly is axially installed in place with the support seat, the first channel and the second channel are independent of each other and connected. During the installation process, there is no need to align the positions of the two channels, making assembly simpler and improving assembly efficiency.

[0020] The first channel is inserted downward into the entrance of the second channel. Since the entrance of the second channel is larger than the outlet of the first channel, the assembly can be simplified and the assembly efficiency can be improved. On this basis, when a large amount of water is discharged from the first channel, the water flow can still be completely guided into the second channel to avoid the turbulent water flow splashing to the outside of the channel, and then smoothly discharged to the outside, ensuring thorough drainage.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the first channel includes an upper channel disposed on the upper end cover and a lower channel disposed on the lower end cover, and an inlet of the lower channel corresponds to an outlet of the upper channel and is larger than the outlet of the upper channel.

[0022] The first channel is formed by respectively arranging an upper channel and a lower channel on the upper end cover and the lower end cover, so that the first channel is located on one side of the motor and reliably avoids the motor, and the inlet of the lower channel corresponds to the outlet of the upper channel and is larger than the outlet of the upper channel, thereby further reducing the alignment requirements during the assembly process of the upper end cover and the lower end cover, accelerating the assembly of the motor assembly, and improving the assembly efficiency. The accumulated water above the upper end cover can be discharged to the outside under the guidance of the three sections of the upper channel, the lower channel, and the second channel, without the need to set up a separate water guide pipe, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the upper channel or the lower channel includes a converging section that contracts from top to bottom.

[0024] By setting a converging section that shrinks from top to bottom, the lower channel can be partially expanded at the entrance to facilitate the water flow discharged from the upper channel. The converging section shrinks inward, which can gather the water flow and accelerate it, so that the accumulated water above the upper end cover can be completely discharged. Whether the converging section is set in the upper channel or the lower channel, it can accelerate the water flow speed and accelerate the complete discharge of the water flow.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a water collecting trough is provided on the top wall of the support seat, and the opening of the water collecting trough faces upward to form the entrance of the second channel. The first channel includes a lower channel protruding downward from the lower end cover, and the lower channel is suspended and limited in the water collecting trough by shock-absorbing silicone.

[0026] A water collecting trough is arranged on the top wall of the support seat to enlarge the inlet area so as to reliably receive the water discharged from the first channel. The first channel is provided with a lower channel protruding downward from the lower end cover. The lower channel is suspended and limited in the water collecting trough by shock-absorbing silicone to realize multifunctional integration. It not only realizes axial and radial limitation of the lower end cover and the support seat, but also does not need to be installed with screws, which greatly simplifies the assembly process. At the same time, the inner cavity of the lower channel is used to achieve drainage, avoid water accumulation on the support platform, and prevent water from entering the main unit to damage the electrical components in the main unit.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the support seat protrudes upward relative to the base of the main unit to form an assembly cavity, and the assembly cavity is located directly below the motor and has an opening on the side for the residual water box to be installed.

[0028] The support seat protrudes upward relative to the base of the main unit to form an assembly cavity for the residual water box to be installed. The assembly cavity is located directly below the motor, so that the residual water box is opposite to the motor, jointly utilizing the lateral space of the main unit, and the structure is compact. Moreover, compared with the traditional residual water box that is set in a U shape around the outer periphery of the motor, the residual water box has a more square shape, which is convenient for cleaning and can meet the volume requirements while reducing the height. The whole structure is compact and reliable.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the second channel is opened on the outer side wall of the assembly cavity, and the base is provided with a drainage hole corresponding to the outlet of the second channel;

[0030] Alternatively, the second channel is communicated with the assembly cavity, and an outlet of the second channel is directly opposite to the top of the residual water box.

[0031] By arranging the second channel along the outer side wall of the assembly cavity, the side wall of the assembly cavity can be directly used to form the second channel, and the outlet of the second channel corresponds to the drainage hole set on the base, so that the water flow is discharged to the outside, and the structure is simple. Moreover, since the inlet of the second channel is larger than the inlet of the first channel, the upstream of the second channel can correspond to the first channel, and the water guide pipe downstream of the second channel can be arranged away from the outlet center of the first channel, that is, away from the motor or away from the main machine axis and close to the outside of the main machine, so as to achieve reliable avoidance of the drainage path and the motor and other electrical components, and effectively prevent water from entering the main machine.

[0032] Since the residual water box is installed in the assembly cavity and directly under the motor, the outlet of the second channel directly extends to communicate with the assembly cavity, so that the water flows directly into the residual water box, thereby avoiding discharge onto the work surface, saving the user the trouble of wiping.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] The utility model provides a food processing machine, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the main machine 10 includes a crushing cup 20 installed in the main machine 10, a motor assembly 30 and a support base 40. The main machine 10 includes a housing 11 and a base 12, and the support base 40 is arranged on the base 12. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the motor assembly 30 includes an upper end cover 31 and a lower end cover 32 fixed below the upper end cover 31, the upper end cover 31 and the lower end cover 32 enclose a mounting cavity for mounting the motor 33, the grinding cup 20 is detachably mounted above the upper end cover 31, preferably, a buffer pad 90 is installed above the upper end cover 31, and the grinding cup is flexibly supported by the buffer pad 90, the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a first channel 60, the entrance of the first channel 60 is opened on the upper end cover 31, the buffer pad 90 is provided with a through hole 91 corresponding to the entrance of the first channel 60, the support seat 40 is provided with a second channel 70 connected to the outside, the entrance of the second channel 70 corresponds to the exit position of the first channel 60 and is larger than the exit of the first channel 60.

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the food processing machine provided by the utility model is a food processing machine that does not require hand washing. A water tank 52 is also installed on the main machine 10 to automatically supply water to the grinding cup 20 for pulping or cleaning. A pulp receiving cup 50 and a residual water box 51 are installed on the base 12. The grinding cup is provided with a drain valve. After pulping is completed, the drain valve is opened to discharge pulp to the pulp receiving cup 50. After cleaning is completed, the drain valve is opened to discharge cleaning waste water to the residual water box 51.

[0048] In this embodiment, the motor assembly 30 includes an upper end cover 31 and a lower end cover 32 fixed below the upper end cover 31. The upper end cover 31 and the lower end cover 32 enclose an installation cavity for installing the motor 33. The upper end cover 31 is used to form a support platform. The crushing cup 20 is detachably installed above the upper end cover 31, which can reduce the height of the whole machine, so that the center of gravity of the whole machine is stable and the operation is stable. By setting a first channel 60 on the side wall of the installation cavity, the entrance of the first channel 60 is opened on the upper end cover 31, so that the water that falls on the upper end cover 31 during the removal of the crushing cup 20 can leak out from the entrance of the first channel 60, preventing the upper end cover 31, that is, the support platform from accumulating water. By setting a second channel 70 connected to the outside world on the support seat 40, the entrance of the second channel 70 corresponds to the exit position of the first channel 60 and is larger than the exit of the first channel 60. The second channel 70 continues to guide the accumulated water discharged from the first channel 60 to the outside world, reducing the probability of water ingress and damage to the internal components of the host 10. Since the first channel 60 and the second channel 70 are respectively located on the split motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40, the first channel 60 and the second channel 70 are connected after the motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40 are assembled. Therefore, the entrance of the second channel 70 is larger than the exit of the first channel 60. Regardless of whether a plug-in connection method or an upper and lower alignment connection method is adopted, the alignment and assembly difficulty of the motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40 can be reduced during the assembly of the motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure the reliable connection between the first channel 60 and the second channel 70 to achieve complete discharge of water.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the inlet of the second channel 70 corresponds to the outlet position of the first channel 60, that is, the outlet of the first channel 60 is located directly above the inlet of the second channel 70, and the water flows smoothly from the first channel 60 to the second channel 70 under the action of gravity, or the outlet of the first channel 60 extends into the inlet of the second channel 70, and the two channels are plugged in to prevent water splashing.

[0050] By placing the outlet of the first channel 60 directly above the inlet of the second channel 70, after the motor assembly 30 is axially installed in place with the support seat 40, the first channel 60 and the second channel 70 are independent of each other and connected. During the installation process, there is no need to align the positions of the two channels, making assembly simpler and improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] By inserting the first channel 60 downward into the entrance of the second channel 70, since the entrance of the second channel 70 is larger than the exit of the first channel 60, the assembly can be simplified and the assembly efficiency can be improved. On this basis, when a large amount of water is discharged from the first channel 60, the water flow can still be completely guided into the second channel 70, avoiding the turbulent water flow splashing to the outside of the channel, and then smoothly discharged to the outside, ensuring thorough drainage.

[0052] For example Figure 2-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second channel 70 includes a water conduit 72 extending vertically and a water collecting section 71 connected to the upper end of the water conduit 72 and having an enlarged inner diameter. The upper end of the water collecting section 71 corresponds to the outlet of the first channel 60 and is larger than the outlet of the first channel 60. Preferably, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the water collecting section 71 is a water collecting trough opened on the top wall of the support seat 40 , and the water conduit 72 is arranged along the side wall of the support seat 40 .

[0053] More preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the axis of the water conduit 72 is offset relative to the center of the outlet of the first channel 60. Specifically, the first channel 60 includes an upper channel 61 arranged on the upper end cover 31 and a lower channel 62 arranged on the lower end cover 32. The inlet of the lower channel 62 corresponds to the outlet of the upper channel 61 and is larger than the outlet of the upper channel 61. The axis of the water conduit 72 is offset relative to the outlet of the lower channel 62.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the lower channel 62 is suspended and limited in the water collecting tank by the shock-absorbing silica gel 80, so that the outlet of the first channel 60 extends into the inlet of the second channel 70.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first channel 60 is formed by respectively providing an upper channel 61 and a lower channel 62 on the upper end cover 31 and the lower end cover 32, so that the first channel 60 is located on one side of the motor 33 and can reliably avoid the motor 33. The inlet of the lower channel 62 corresponds to the outlet of the upper channel 61 and is larger than the outlet of the upper channel 61, thereby further reducing the alignment requirements during the assembly process of the upper end cover 31 and the lower end cover 32, accelerating the assembly of the motor assembly 30, and improving the assembly efficiency. The accumulated water above the upper end cover 31 can be discharged to the outside under the guidance of the three sections of the upper channel 61, the lower channel 62, and the second channel 70, without the need to provide a separate water pipe 72, thereby simplifying the overall structure. In addition, a water collecting trough is provided on the top wall of the support seat 40 to expand the inlet area so as to reliably receive the water discharged from the first channel 60. The first channel 60 is provided with a lower channel 62 protruding downward from the lower end cover 32. The lower channel 62 is suspended and limited in the water collecting trough by shock-absorbing silicone 80 to achieve multi-functional integration. It not only realizes axial and radial limitation of the lower end cover 32 and the support seat 40, but also does not require the aid of screws for installation, greatly simplifying the assembly process. At the same time, the inner cavity of the lower channel 62 is used to achieve drainage, avoid water accumulation on the support platform, and prevent water from entering the host 10 to damage the electrical components in the host 10.

[0056] The present invention does not limit the specific structure of the upper channel 61 and the lower channel 62. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the upper channel 61 and the lower channel 62 both include a flow-gathering section that contracts from top to bottom and a flow-guiding section connected below the flow-gathering section. It should be noted that the flow-gathering section can be optionally in the form of the above-mentioned groove, or a trumpet-shaped flow-gathering pipe. Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the entrance of the lower channel 62 is a groove opened on the lower end cover 32.

[0057] By setting a flow-gathering section that shrinks from top to bottom, the lower channel 62 can be partially expanded at the entrance to facilitate receiving the water flow discharged from the upper channel 61. The flow-gathering section shrinks inwards, which can gather and accelerate the water flow, and facilitate the complete discharge of the accumulated water above the upper end cover 31. Whether the flow-gathering section is set in the upper channel 61 or the lower channel 62, it can accelerate the water flow speed and accelerate the complete discharge of the water flow.

[0058] Of course, in fact, in other embodiments, the upper channel 61 is a straight cylinder with equal diameters at the upper and lower parts, and only the lower channel 62 includes a flow focusing section, so that the inlet of the lower channel 62 is partially expanded to be larger than the outlet of the upper channel 61, thereby achieving complete discharge of the water flow.

[0059] In summary, in this embodiment, the second channel 70 includes a water collecting section 71 with an enlarged inner diameter and a water guide pipe 72. The water collecting section 71 with a partially enlarged inner diameter is used to effectively receive the water flow discharged from the outlet of the first channel 60. The water collecting section 71 has the effect of gathering the water flow and accelerating the flow, thereby achieving complete drainage. In addition, the water guide pipe 72 is smaller than the water collecting section 71, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space, so as to reasonably avoid other components inside the main unit 10, so that the structural arrangement of the motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40 is more compact. Compared with the multi-section drainage channels that run through from top to bottom in the prior art, the water pipe 72 of the second channel 70 is offset relative to the outlet center of the lower channel 62. During the assembly process, there is no need to align the first channel 60 and the second channel 70 completely, so as to avoid the assembly position between the motor assembly 30 and the support seat 40 being relatively rigid and unable to make rational use of the space. A certain flexibility is provided to the placement of the internal components of the motor 33 and the support seat 40, such as the residual water box 51, and the position of the drainage holes on the base 12. The drainage channel can reasonably avoid other components, while ensuring that the accumulated water above the support platform is completely discharged.

[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the second channel 70 is directly formed by utilizing the top wall and the side wall of the support seat 40 , thereby simplifying the overall structure of the support seat 40 .

[0061] Of course, it should be noted that in the present invention, the form of the water collecting section 71 is not limited to the above one. In another preferred embodiment, the water collecting section 71 is a water collecting pipe that gradually shrinks from top to bottom, and the water collecting pipe is connected to the water guide pipe 72. For example, they are integrally connected or split.

[0062] In addition, in other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, a focusing section 63 is respectively arranged upstream of the upper channel 61 and the lower channel 62, and the second channel 70 includes a water collecting section 71 and a water guiding pipe 72 which contracts relative to the water collecting section 71. Optionally, the water collecting section 71 is a water collecting pipe which contracts gradually from top to bottom. The upper channel 61, the lower channel 62 and the water guiding pipe 72 are coaxially arranged, and the downstream of the upper channel 61 extends into the lower channel 62, and the downstream of the lower channel 62 extends into the water collecting pipe of the second channel 70, thereby achieving reliable drainage and improving assembly efficiency.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the support base 40 protrudes upward relative to the base 12 of the main unit 10 to form an assembly cavity 41. The assembly cavity 41 is located directly below the motor 33 and has an opening on the side for the residual water box 51 to be installed.

[0064] The support seat 40 protrudes upward relative to the base 12 of the main unit 10 to form an assembly cavity 41 for the residual water box 51 to be installed. The assembly cavity 41 is located directly below the motor 33, so that the residual water box 51 is directly opposite the motor 33, and the lateral space of the main unit 10 is jointly utilized, and the structure is compact. Moreover, compared with the traditional residual water box 51 that is set in a U-shape around the outer periphery of the motor 33, the residual water box 51 has a more square shape, which is convenient for cleaning and can meet the volume requirements while reducing the height. The whole structure is compact and reliable.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the connection method between the second channel 70 and the outside can be that the second channel 70 is opened on the outer wall of the assembly cavity 41, and a drainage hole 121 corresponding to the outlet of the second channel 70 is provided on the base 12.

[0066] Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the second channel 70 is connected to the outside in the form of the second channel 70 being connected to the assembly cavity 41 , and the outlet of the second channel 70 is directly opposite to the top of the residual water box 51 .

[0067] By arranging the second channel 70 along the outer side wall of the assembly cavity 41, it is convenient to directly use the side wall of the assembly cavity 41 to form the second channel 70, and the outlet of the second channel 70 corresponds to the drainage hole set on the base 12, so that the water flow is discharged to the outside, and the structure is simple. In addition, since the inlet of the second channel 70 is larger than the inlet of the first channel 60, the upstream of the second channel 70 only needs to correspond to the first channel 60, and the water guide pipe 72 downstream of the second channel 70 can be arranged away from the outlet center of the first channel 60, that is, arranged away from the motor 33 or away from the axis of the main unit 10 and close to the outside of the main unit 10, so as to achieve reliable avoidance of the drainage path and the motor 33 and other electrical components, and effectively prevent water from entering the main unit 10.

[0068] Since the residual water box 51 is installed in the assembly cavity 41 and directly under the motor 33, the outlet of the second channel 70 directly extends to communicate with the assembly cavity 41, so that the water flow is directly discharged into the residual water box 51, thereby avoiding discharge onto the work surface, saving the user the trouble of wiping.
