Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small household appliances, in particular to a mixing cup assembly and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] Food processors are common household appliances, capable of making soy milk, juice, and mincing meat, among other functions. Related art food processors include a blender cup assembly. This blender cup assembly comprises a cup body and a blender blade assembly. The cup body has a grinding chamber, within which the blender blade assembly is positioned, and the sidewalls of the cup body are provided with flow-disrupting ribs.

[0003] However, technicians have found that the spoiler ribs of the food processor in the related art have a poor spoiling effect, which leads to a poor wall breaking effect of the food processor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a stirring cup assembly and a food processor. The stirring cup assembly has a good flow turbulence effect, thereby improving the wall breaking effect of the food processor.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a blending cup assembly is provided, comprising a cup body and a blending blade assembly. The cup body has a crushing chamber having sidewalls and a bottom wall. The bottom wall is provided with bottom wall spoiler ribs extending along the circumference of the bottom wall. The blending blade assembly is assembled to the bottom wall.

[0007] As set up above, since the bottom wall spoiler ribs extend along the circumference of the bottom wall, the extension direction of the bottom wall spoiler ribs is the same as the flow direction of the material, so that the bottom wall spoiler ribs on the side facing the material flow direction can completely cut off the flow direction of the material, so as to utilize the bottom wall spoiler ribs to break the regularity of the rotational flow of the bottom material, completely disrupt the flow direction of the material to introduce more turbulence, and transform the original orderly movement of the material into a disordered movement, so as to increase the contact opportunity between the material and the stirring blade assembly, and make the mutual collision and friction between the materials more frequent, thereby having a good spoiler effect, improving the wall breaking effect of the food processor, making the material crushing and mixing more uniform and delicate, and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0008] In one embodiment, there are two or more bottom wall spoiler ribs provided and spaced apart along the circumferential direction, and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs are located on the circumference of a circle with the center of the bottom wall as the center.

[0009] As set up above, the bottom wall spoiler ribs can all be located on a circle with the center of the bottom wall as the center, which is equivalent to the bottom wall spoiler ribs having the same position between the center of the bottom wall and the side wall, so that the bottom wall spoiler ribs are evenly distributed, so that each bottom wall spoiler rib has the same spoiling effect on the material, and the spoiling effect is improved by the simultaneous action of multiple bottom wall spoiler ribs.

[0010] In one embodiment, the bottom wall spoiler ribs are provided with two or more and are distributed on at least two concentric circles with the center of the bottom wall as the center.

[0011] As set up above, all bottom wall spoiler ribs are distributed on at least two concentric circles with the center of the bottom wall as the center, so as to increase the coverage area of ​​the bottom wall spoiler ribs on the bottom wall, and each bottom wall spoiler rib extends circumferentially, which can disrupt the flow direction of the material at multiple positions, increasing the degree of disturbance of the material by the bottom wall spoiler ribs, thereby improving the spoiler effect.

[0012] In one embodiment, the bottom wall spoiler rib includes a first spoiler surface and a second spoiler surface that are arranged opposite to each other, the first spoiler surface is located on the side away from the side wall, and the second spoiler surface is located on the side close to the side wall, and the first spoiler surface is inclined from bottom to top toward the second spoiler surface.

[0013] As configured above, when the material rotates, the first spoiler surface, which is tilted upward toward the second spoiler surface, can buffer and guide the material between the bottom wall spoiler ribs and the blade shaft to flow out from under the mixing blade assembly, allowing the outflowing material to re-contact the mixing blade assembly. Thus, the first spoiler surface can be used to guide the material into full contact with the mixing blade assembly, thereby improving the material's wall-breaking effect. Furthermore, the first spoiler surface can prevent material from becoming stuck between the blade and the bottom wall spoiler ribs, preventing the blade from stalling during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation of the mixing blade assembly.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second spoiler surface is inclined from bottom to top toward the first spoiler surface, and an inclination angle of the first spoiler surface relative to the bottom wall is greater than an inclination angle of the second spoiler surface relative to the bottom wall.

[0015] As set up above, since the inclination angle of the first spoiler surface relative to the bottom wall is greater than the inclination angle of the second spoiler surface relative to the bottom wall, the first spoiler surface serves as the inner side of the bottom wall spoiler rib, and the second spoiler surface serves as the outer side of the bottom wall spoiler rib. The bottom wall spoiler rib can form a structure with low inside and high outside, so that the bottom wall spoiler rib can perform a step-by-step diffusion spoiler on the material, thereby improving the spoiler effect on the material and making the material crushed more evenly and finely.

[0016] In one embodiment, the stirring blade assembly includes a blade shaft arranged at the center of the bottom wall and a blade arranged on the blade shaft; the bottom wall spoiler rib includes a first spoiler surface and a second spoiler surface arranged opposite to each other, the first spoiler surface is located on the side away from the side wall, and the second spoiler surface is located on the side close to the side wall, and the tip of the blade is directly above the bottom edge of the first spoiler surface.

[0017] As set up above, since the tip of the blade is directly above the bottom edge of the first spoiler surface, this can reduce the vertical impact of the rotating material on the blade, reduce blade vibration, make the stirring blade assembly rotate smoothly, and keep the blade in continuous contact with the material, thereby extending the service life of the blade.

[0018] In one embodiment, the distance between the bottom edge of the second spoiler surface and the side wall is d, and d is ≥ 15 mm.

[0019] With the aforementioned configuration, since d ≥ 15mm, as the material flows within the cup, collisions and friction between the material and the side walls, the material and the bottom wall spoiler ribs, and each other are more frequent. This increases the chances of contact between the material and the mixing blade assembly, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing, and enhancing the flow disturbance effect of the bottom wall spoiler ribs on the material. Furthermore, d ≥ 15mm allows for the punching of the bottom wall spoiler ribs, preventing damage to other parts of the cup body during the punching process.

[0020] In one embodiment, the cup body further includes at least one side wall spoiler rib provided on the side wall.

[0021] As described above, by providing bottom and side wall spoiler ribs, the side and bottom wall spoiler ribs simultaneously disrupt the flow of the material when the blender cup assembly is in use. The cup body utilizes the bottom wall spoiler ribs to introduce more turbulence, increasing the contact between the material and the blender blade assembly, resulting in more frequent collisions and friction between the materials. The cup body utilizes the side wall spoiler ribs to push the material toward the blender blade assembly, ensuring continuous contact between the material and the blades, thereby efficiently breaking the material and making the material more evenly broken and mixed, thus improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0022] In one embodiment, all the bottom wall spoiler ribs and all the side wall spoiler ribs are staggered along the circumference of the cup body.

[0023] As shown in the above arrangement, all the bottom wall spoiler ribs and all the side wall spoiler ribs are staggered in distribution, which can increase the spoiler range of the material and more effectively prevent the material from accumulating in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects and further improving the spoiler effect. In addition, the above arrangement can also prevent the spoiler ribs from interfering with each other and causing material blockage.

[0024] In one embodiment, the bottom wall spoiler ribs are provided with two or more, and at least some of the bottom wall spoiler ribs and the side wall spoiler ribs are staggered along the circumference of the cup body.

[0025] As described above, at least part of the bottom wall spoiler ribs and the side wall spoiler ribs are staggered along the circumference of the cup body. In this way, the cooperation between the bottom wall spoiler ribs and the side wall spoiler ribs increases the spoiler range of the material, which can effectively prevent the material from accumulating in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects, and further improving the spoiler effect.

[0026] In one embodiment, the bottom wall spoiler ribs are distributed on at least two concentric circles with the center of the bottom wall as the center, and all the side wall spoiler ribs and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs distributed on any one of the concentric circles are staggered along the circumference of the cup body.

[0027] As set up above, all the side wall spoiler ribs and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs distributed on any one of the concentric circles are staggered along the circumference of the cup body, which can also expand the spoiler range of each spoiler rib on the material, and can effectively prevent the material from accumulating in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects.

[0028] In one embodiment, the blending cup assembly includes a heating element disposed on the bottom wall, and the heating element is located between the bottom wall spoiler rib and the side wall.

[0029] As set up above, since the heating element is located between the bottom wall spoiler rib and the side wall, when the heating element heats the material, the bottom wall spoiler rib can disturb the material, thereby making the material in this area flow faster to avoid sticking to the bottom. In addition, it is also convenient to process the bottom wall spoiler rib.

[0030] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a food processor is provided, comprising a machine base and the above-mentioned mixing cup assembly, wherein the machine base comprises a driving assembly, and the driving assembly drives the mixing blade assembly to rotate in a grinding chamber.

[0031] As configured above, the food processor at least has the beneficial effects brought by the blending cup assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] In the present invention, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features specified as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. At the same time, in the description of the present invention, the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0044] Food processors are common household appliances in people's lives. Food processors include soybean milk machines, juicers, blenders and other food processing machines. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a partial structure of a food processor 1 in the related art. Food processor 1 includes a blending cup assembly 1a, which includes a cup body 11 and a blending blade assembly 12. Cup body 11 defines a crushing chamber 111, within which blending blade assembly 12 is disposed. When food processor 1 is in operation, the high-speed rotation of blending blade assembly 12 may cause the material to form a relatively regular rotational flow. For example, the material may generate high-speed centrifugal rotation in the same direction as blending blade assembly 12. This causes some material to move away from blending blade assembly 12, making it less likely to be crushed, thereby affecting the crushing and mixing effect.

[0045] Generally, in order to enable the food processor 1 to achieve better material crushing and mixing effects, it is necessary to add spoiler ribs 13 in the crushing chamber 111 of the cup body 11. The spoiler ribs 13 are used to change the flow path of the fluid and introduce more turbulence to increase the contact opportunity between the material and the stirring blade assembly 12, and make the mutual collision and friction between the materials more frequent.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in the related art, the spoiler ribs 13 are usually arranged on the side wall of the crushing chamber 111. Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of the material disturbance by the ribs 13. It can be seen that the ribs 13 arranged in this way can only disturb the part of the material near the side wall, while some of the material will still be pushed to the bottom of the cup and cannot fully contact the stirring blade assembly 12, resulting in poor disturbance effect, for example, the particle size of the material is small.

[0047] To solve the above problems, see Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The present invention provides a blending cup assembly 100, comprising a cup body 110 and a blending blade assembly 130. The cup body 110 has a crushing chamber 111, and the crushing chamber 111 has side walls 112 and a bottom wall 113. The bottom wall 113 is provided with bottom wall spoiler ribs 120. The number of bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 is not limited, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10The bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 extend along the circumference of the bottom wall 113. Optionally, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are arc-shaped. The mixing blade assembly 130 includes a blade shaft 131 disposed on the bottom wall 113 and blades 132 fixed to the blade shaft 131. The figure shows four blades 132, but the number of blades 132 is not limited to this.

[0048] The crushing chamber 111 of the cup body 110 is used to hold material and accommodate the stirring blade assembly 130. The stirring blade assembly 130 includes a blade shaft 131 disposed on the bottom wall 113 and a blade fixed to the blade shaft 131. The blade shaft 131 is not limited to being directly attached to the output shaft of the drive assembly 210 as shown. In some magnetic drive embodiments, the blade shaft 131 can also be attached to the bottom wall 113 through magnetic attraction or a fixed structure. In embodiments where the stirring blade assembly and the drive assembly are connected via a clutch, the blade shaft 131 can be attached to the bottom wall 113 via a bearing seat.

[0049] As described above, since the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 extend along the circumference of the bottom wall 113, the extending direction of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 is the same as the flow direction of the material driven by the blade 132 (e.g. Figure 6 The arrow 120a indicates the extension direction of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120), so that the side of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 facing the material flow direction can completely cut off the flow direction of the material, so as to use the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 to break the regularity of the rotational flow of the bottom material, completely disrupt the flow direction of the material to introduce more turbulence ( Figure 4 The direction of the arrow in the middle indicates the direction of turbulence), thereby increasing the full contact between the material and the blade 132 of the stirring blade assembly 130 (such as increasing the contact frequency). Finally, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 introduce more turbulence, transforming the original orderly movement of the material into disordered movement, so as to increase the contact opportunity between the material and the stirring blade assembly 130, and making the mutual collision and friction between the materials more frequent. As a result, the spoiler effect is good, which improves the wall breaking effect of the food processor, makes the material crushing and mixing more uniform and delicate, and improves the taste of the prepared food. In addition, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 set in this way will not guide the material to the bottom of the stirring blade assembly 130, causing the material to be unable to contact the blade 132 of the stirring blade assembly 130. On the other hand, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 set in this way have a good spoiler effect, and can also make the movement of the material along the crushing chamber 111 more active, reduce the accumulation of material on the bottom wall 113, and avoid sticking to the bottom.

[0050] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, two or more bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are provided and spaced apart along the circumference. All bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are located on the circumference of a circle with the center of the bottom wall 113 as the center. Figure 7It is shown that a first spacer 160 is provided between two adjacent bottom wall spoiler ribs 120. The first spacer 160 can make the collision between materials more frequent, increase the collision frequency between materials and the stirring blade assembly 130, and further improve the crushing effect of the materials. Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, wherein, Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 It shows that multiple bottom wall spoiler ribs are distributed on the same circle. Figure 10 The diagram shows multiple bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 distributed on concentric circles (two circles). Regardless of the number of circles, each bottom wall spoiler rib 120 extends along the circumference of the bottom wall 113 to ensure that the extension direction of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 is the same as the flow direction of the material driven by the blade 132.

[0051] As set up above, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can all be located on at least one circle with the center of the bottom wall 113 as the center, which is equivalent to the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 being at the same position between the center of the bottom wall 113 and the side wall 112, so that the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are evenly distributed, so that each bottom wall spoiler rib 120 has the same spoiling effect on the material, and the spoiling effect is improved by the simultaneous action of multiple bottom wall spoiler ribs 120.

[0052] In other embodiments, to increase the coverage area of ​​the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 on the bottom wall 113, two or more bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are provided and distributed on at least two concentric circles centered on the center of the bottom wall 113. Based on this embodiment, all bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can be spaced apart circumferentially, or the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 distributed on the same concentric circle can be spaced apart circumferentially, while the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 located on different concentric circles are not limited to being spaced apart circumferentially.

[0053] As configured above, all bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are distributed on at least two concentric circles with the center of the bottom wall 113 as the center, so as to increase the coverage area of ​​the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 on the bottom wall 113, and each bottom wall spoiler rib 120 extends circumferentially, which can disrupt the flow direction of the material at multiple positions, thereby increasing the degree of disruption of the material by the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, thereby improving the spoiler effect.

[0054] See also Figure 5In some embodiments, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 includes a first spoiler surface 121 and a second spoiler surface 122 disposed opposite each other. The first spoiler surface 121 is located on the side away from the side wall 112, and the second spoiler surface 122 is located on the side closer to the side wall 112. The first spoiler surface 121 is inclined from bottom to top toward the second spoiler surface 122. The first spoiler surface 121 is inclined from bottom to top toward the second spoiler surface 122, which is equivalent to the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 forming a structure that is lower inside and higher outside. In some embodiments, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 is configured as a protrusion protruding into the crushing chamber 111. The first spoiler surface 121 of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 located on the side away from the side wall 112 can be configured as an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0055] As described above, when the material rotates, the first spoiler surface 121, which is tilted from bottom to top toward the second spoiler surface 122, can buffer and guide the material between the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 and the blade shaft 131 to flow out from under the stirring blade assembly 130, and make the outflowing material contact the stirring blade assembly 130 again. Thus, the first spoiler surface 121 can be used to guide the material to fully contact the stirring blade assembly 130 to improve the wall breaking effect on the material. In addition, the first spoiler surface 121 can also prevent the material from being blocked between the blade 132 and the bottom wall spoiler rib 120, preventing the blade 132 from rotating and jamming, so that the stirring blade assembly 130 can operate smoothly.

[0056] In addition, the lowest point of the bottom spoiler rib 120 transitions smoothly to the highest point to ensure smooth rotation of the material without knife jamming or motor jamming.

[0057] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second spoiler surface 122 is inclined from bottom to top toward the first spoiler surface 121, and the inclination angle of the first spoiler surface 121 relative to the bottom wall 113 is greater than the inclination angle of the second spoiler surface 122 relative to the bottom wall 113. The inclination angle indicates the degree of inclination of the first spoiler surface 121 and the second spoiler surface 122. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the inclination angle of the first spoiler surface 121 relative to the bottom wall 113 is a, and the inclination angle of the second spoiler surface 122 relative to the bottom wall 113 is b, where a>b.

[0058] As set up above, since the inclination angle of the first spoiler surface 121 relative to the bottom wall 113 is greater than the inclination angle of the second spoiler surface 122 relative to the bottom wall 113, the first spoiler surface 121 serves as the inner side of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120, and the second spoiler surface 122 serves as the outer side of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120. The bottom wall spoiler rib 120 can form a structure that is low inside and high outside, so that the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 can perform a stepped and progressive diffusion spoiler on the material, thereby improving the spoiler effect on the material and making the material crushed more evenly and finely.

[0059] In some embodiments, to facilitate the processing of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can be formed by stamping. To enhance the spoiler effect of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, the stamping height of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 is set to a range of 3 mm to 15 mm. Optionally, the stamping height of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can also be set to 7 mm.

[0060] In addition, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 can also be processed by laser welding, argon arc welding and other welding methods, which will not be described in detail in the present utility model.

[0061] In some embodiments, the side wall 112 and the bottom wall 113 of the cup body 110 are integrally constructed. In other embodiments, the blending cup assembly 100 includes a through-shaped cup body 110, a blade disc serving as the bottom wall 113, and a blending blade assembly 130 disposed on the blade disc.

[0062] It should be noted that the blade shaft 131 is disposed at the center of the bottom wall 113 so that the stirring blade assembly 130 can evenly cut the material.

[0063] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, to facilitate heating of the material by the blending cup assembly 100, the blending cup assembly 100 includes a heating element 150 disposed on the bottom wall 113, and the heating element 150 is located between the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 and the side wall 112. It should be noted that the heating element 150 can be a heating pipe.

[0064] As configured above, since the heating element 150 is located between the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 and the side wall 112, when the heating element 150 heats the material, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 can disturb the material, thereby making the material in this area flow faster to avoid sticking to the bottom. In addition, it is also convenient to process the bottom wall spoiler rib.

[0065] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, to avoid motion interference between the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the blades 132 and to ensure smooth rotation of the mixing blade assembly 130, the blades 132 are positioned higher than the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 along the depth direction of the pulverizing chamber 111. Furthermore, a gap is provided between the tip 1321 of the blade 132 facing the side wall 112 and the end of the side wall spoiler rib 140 facing the tip, to prevent interference between the mixing blade assembly 130 and the side wall spoiler rib 140 during rotation.

[0066] See also Figure 7In some embodiments, the stirring blade assembly 130 includes a blade shaft 131 arranged at the center of the bottom wall 113 and a blade 132 arranged on the blade shaft 131; the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 includes a first spoiler surface 121 and a second spoiler surface 122 arranged opposite to each other, the first spoiler surface 121 is located on the side away from the side wall 112, and the second spoiler surface 122 is located on the side close to the side wall 112, and the tip 1321 of the blade 132 is directly above the bottom edge 1211 of the first spoiler surface 121.

[0067] As described above, the tip 1321 of the blade 132 is directly above the bottom edge 1211 of the first spoiler surface 121 (e.g. Figure 2 The first spoiler surface 121 and the bottom wall 113 intersect with the tip 1321 of the blade 132 in the depth direction of the crushing chamber, thereby reducing the vertical impact of the rotating material on the blade 132 and the vibration of the blade 132, so that the stirring blade assembly 130 rotates smoothly, so that the blade 132 is in continuous contact with the material and the service life of the blade 132 is extended.

[0068] Optionally, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 is arranged in a diameter range of φ40 mm-130 mm with the blade axis 131 as the center.

[0069] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom edge of the second spoiler surface 122 and the side wall 112 is d, and d ≥ 15 mm. It should be noted that d is the second distance 170 set between the end of the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 facing the side wall 112 and the side wall 112.

[0070] As described above, since d ≥ 15 mm, when the material flows within the cup body 110, the second gap 170 can cause the material to collide and rub more frequently with the side walls 112, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, and each other, thereby increasing the contact opportunities between the material and the stirring blade assembly 130, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects and enhancing the spoiler effect of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 on the material. In addition, d ≥ 15 mm (second gap 170) can reserve working space for stamping the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, avoiding damage to other parts of the cup body 110 during stamping.

[0071] Still see Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the cup body 110 further includes at least one side wall spoiler rib 140 provided on the side wall 112. The side wall spoiler rib 140 is used to prevent the material from accumulating on the side wall 112 of the crushing chamber 111, and to push the material from the side wall 112 of the crushing chamber 111 toward the stirring blade assembly 130, so that the material is in continuous contact with the stirring blade assembly 130. The side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are respectively provided with 3, or the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are respectively provided with 4. Moreover, the side wall spoiler ribs 140 are provided at equal intervals on the side wall 112, and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are provided at equal intervals on the bottom wall 113. Of course, the number of the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can also be set to be unequal, and the present invention does not specifically limit the specific number of each spoiler rib.

[0072] For the above settings, see Figure 4 By providing the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140, when the blender cup assembly 100 is in use, the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 simultaneously disrupt the flow of the material. The cup body 110 utilizes the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 to introduce more turbulence, increasing the contact opportunities between the material and the blending blade assembly 130, resulting in more frequent collisions and friction between the materials. The cup body 110 utilizes the side wall spoiler ribs 140 to push the material toward the blending blade assembly 130, ensuring continuous contact between the material and the blade 132, thereby efficiently crushing the material, making the crushing and mixing of the material more uniform and delicate, and improving the taste of the prepared food.

[0073] See also Figure 8 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 5 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, all the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and all the side wall spoiler ribs 140 are staggered along the circumference of the cup body 110. It should be noted that, as an example, see Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The multiple bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are distributed on the arc of the same circle, and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and all the side wall spoiler ribs 140 are staggered along the circumference of the cup body 110. The side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 can be provided in the same number, and the orthographic projections of the side wall spoiler ribs 140 on the bottom wall 113 and the orthographic projections of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 on the bottom wall 113 are nested with each other, thereby achieving a staggered distribution of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140.

[0074] As described above, all bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and all side wall spoiler ribs 140 are staggered in distribution, which can increase the spoiler range of the material and more effectively prevent the material from accumulating in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects and improving the spoiler effect. In addition, the above-mentioned setting can also avoid interference between the spoiler ribs and cause material blockage.

[0075] See also Figure 10 And with 8, Figure 6 、 Figure 5 and Figure 4 In comparison, in some embodiments, more than two bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are provided, and at least some of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140 are staggered along the circumference of the cup body 110 .

[0076] As described above, at least part of the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140 are staggered along the circumference of the cup body. Such placement can increase the spoiler range of the material through the cooperation of the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120, and can effectively avoid the accumulation of materials in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects, and further improving the spoiler effect.

[0077] See also Figure 10 In one embodiment, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 are distributed on at least two concentric circles with the center of the bottom wall 113 as the center, and all the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 distributed on any one of the concentric circles are staggered along the circumference of the cup body 110.

[0078] like Figure 10 As shown, as an example, the ring formed by the plurality of bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 includes at least a first circular ring 180 and a second circular ring 190 arranged concentrically, the diameter of the first circular ring 180 being greater than or less than the diameter of the second circular ring 190, and each bottom wall spoiler rib 120 forming the first circular ring 180 being arranged between two adjacent bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 forming the second circular ring 190. At this time, in one case, the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 of the second circular ring 190 may be arranged relative to the side wall spoiler rib 140, which may cause the gap between the relatively arranged bottom wall spoiler rib 120 and the side wall spoiler rib 140 to be too small, resulting in the problem of material jamming. When the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 on all arcs (regardless of the first circular ring 180 or the second circular ring 190) is staggered with the side wall spoiler rib 140, the gap between the side wall spoiler rib 140 and the bottom wall spoiler rib 120 can be increased to avoid material jamming.

[0079] In this invention, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140 that form the second circular ring 190 are staggered. Of course, in some embodiments, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 and the side wall spoiler ribs 140 that form the first circular ring 180 can also be staggered. Furthermore, if the size of the cup body 110 permits, the number of concentric circles is not limited to two. It should be noted that the first circular ring 180 surrounds the blade shaft 131, and the second circular ring 190 surrounds the first circular ring 180.

[0080] As set up above, all the side wall spoiler ribs 140 and all the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 distributed on any one of the concentric circles are staggered along the circumference of the cup body, which can also expand the spoiler range of each spoiler rib on the material, and can effectively prevent the material from accumulating in the dead corners of the crushing chamber. At the same time, by changing the flow path of the material, more turbulence is introduced, thereby achieving better material crushing and mixing effects.

[0081] The above-mentioned blending cup assembly 100 can be applied to various usage scenarios, such as various food processing machines 10 such as soy milk makers, juicers, blenders, etc. In addition, the application scenarios of the blending cup assembly 100 can also be water cups, kettles, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0082] See you later Figure 2 Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 The present invention also provides a food processor 10. The food processor 10 includes a machine base 200 and the mixing cup assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments. The machine base 200 includes a drive assembly 210. The drive assembly 210 drives the mixing blade assembly 130 to rotate in the crushing chamber 111. There is no limit to how the drive assembly 210 drives the mixing blade assembly 130. In an embodiment of the present invention, the food processor 10 is a direct-drive food processor 10. The drive assembly 210 in the food processor 10 is a motor. The output shaft of the motor is directly connected to the blade shaft 131 of the mixing blade assembly 130 in the mixing cup, so that the mixing blade assembly 130 is driven to rotate in the cup body 110 by the rotation of the output shaft of the motor. In other embodiments, the mixing blade assembly 130 and the drive assembly 210 can also be connected by a clutch. In some other embodiments, the mixing blade assembly 130 and the drive assembly 210 can be driven by magnetic force. Regardless of the embodiment, as long as the drive assembly 210 can drive the mixing blade assembly 130 to rotate in the cup body 110, the material can be crushed.

[0083] When a conventional food processor 10 crushes materials, the crushed particle size of the materials is generally between 130μm and 180μm. However, when a food processor 10 with a mixing cup assembly 100 provided by the present invention crushes materials, the bottom wall spoiler ribs 120 have a higher degree of disturbance on the materials, so that the materials can be more fully in contact with the blades 132, and the crushed particle size of the materials can be increased to 90μm to 100μm, which greatly improves the wall breaking effect of the food processor 10 on the materials, making the materials crushed more finely and more conducive to the user's consumption and absorption.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, the machine base 200 further includes a base body 220 with a receiving cavity 220a, the blending cup assembly 100 is mounted in the receiving cavity 220a of the base body 220, and the drive assembly 210 is disposed in the base body 220. The food processor 10 assembly further includes a cup cover 230 for covering the cup body 110, and the base body 220 further includes a handle 240 for the user to easily pick up the food processor 10.

[0085] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
