Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processors, in particular to a food processor with a cover that is easy to open. Background Art

[0002] A food processor is a multifunctional kitchen appliance that can perform a variety of operations, such as stirring, chopping, grinding, pressing, etc. When the food processor is working, in order to prevent the material in the working chamber from splashing out, a cup lid needs to be set at the mouth of the food processor cup for sealing. At present, the seal between the cup lid and the mixing cup of the food processor on the market is to set a sealing ring on the plug of the cup lid, and the sealing is achieved through the interference structure between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the mixing cup. When opening the lid, the user needs to overcome the friction resistance between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the food processor cup to remove the cup lid, which is very laborious. Especially when making food that needs to be heated (such as making soy milk, rice paste, etc.), the sealing ring expands due to heat, making the resistance to opening the lid greater. If the user does not control the force of opening the lid well and uses too much force, the cup lid will be suddenly pulled out from the mouth of the cup, which may cause the high-temperature slurry in the food processor cup to spill out, resulting in scald users, and poor user experience.

[0027] In order to make the purpose and technical solution of the utility model clearly and completely described, and the advantages more clearly understood, the embodiments of the utility model are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", "side", "vertical", "horizontal", "first", "second", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The food processor of the present invention comprises a main unit (not shown), a food cup 1 and a cup cover 2. A driving motor is provided in the main unit, and a stirring blade assembly is provided in the food cup 1. After the food cup 1 is installed in the main unit, the driving motor can drive the stirring blade assembly to crush and beat the food in the food cup 1. The cup cover 2 is used to cover the mouth of the food cup 1 to prevent the food or slurry in the food cup 1 from splashing out when the food processor is working.

[0031] The cup cover 2 includes a cover body 21 and a plug 22 located at the lower end of the cover body 21. When the cup cover 2 is placed on the mouth of the cooking cup 1, the plug 22 is inserted into the mouth of the cup and sealed with the inner wall of the mouth of the cup. It can be understood that the plug 22 can undergo a certain amount of deformation. A handle 24 is connected to the cover body 21 through a rotating shaft 23, and the handle 24 can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the cover body 21. When the handle 24 is in the first position, the plug 22 can be inserted into the mouth of the cup and sealed with the inner wall of the cooking cup 1 by pressing the cover body 21 downward; when the handle 24 rotates from the first position to the second position, the handle 24 can drive the cup cover 2 to move upward relative to the cooking cup 1. When the user needs to open the cup cover 2, the handle 24 can be rotated to make the cup cover 2 move upward at least a distance relative to the cooking cup 1, so that it is more convenient to take out the cup cover 2.

[0032] Specifically, the handle 24 includes a driving portion 241 and a hand grip 242 located on both sides of the rotating shaft 23. The hand grip 242, the rotating shaft 23 and the driving portion 241 constitute a lever structure. When the hand grip 242 rotates from the first position to the second position, the driving portion 241 pries the cooking cup 1 downward with the rotating shaft 23 as a fulcrum, and the cooking cup 1 generates an upward reaction force on the cup cover 2, so that the cup cover 2 moves upward relative to the cooking cup 1. In this embodiment, the distance from the rotating shaft 23 to the hand grip 242 is greater than the distance from the rotating shaft 23 to the driving portion 241, that is, the power arm of the lever is greater than the resistance arm. According to the lever principle, only a small force needs to be applied to the hand grip 242 to pry the cup cover 2 so that it moves upward relative to the cooking cup 1.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, the first position and the second position of the handle 24 are spaced approximately 90° apart. In other embodiments, the first position and the second position may be spaced less than 90° apart, such as, but not limited to, approximately 60° apart. In another embodiment, the first position and the second position may be spaced more than 90° apart, such as, but not limited to, approximately 120° apart.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, when the grip portion 242 rotates from the first position to the second position, the driving portion 241 pries the cooking cup 1 downward through the upper end of the cup mouth of the cooking cup 1, but the present application is not limited thereto. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the driving portion 241 may pry the cooking cup 1 by providing an edge on the outer side wall of the cooking cup 1 for the driving portion 241 to abut against.

[0035] refer to Figure 5 When the handle 24 is in the second position, the driving part 241 does not exceed the lower end surface of the plug part 22, so as to prevent the cup cover 2 from being directly pushed out from the mouth of the cooking cup 1 when the handle 24 is rotated to the second position. In other words, when the handle 24 is rotated to the second position, a small part of the plug part 21 is still located in the mouth of the cooking cup 1. At this time, the user needs to pull up the handle 24 to completely separate the cup cover 2 from the cooking cup 1, so as to prevent the slurry in the cooking cup 1 from being brought out due to opening the cover too quickly, which may cause burns to the user.

[0036] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the handle 24 is in the first position, the distance between the rotating shaft 23 and the mouth of the cooking cup 1 is D1, and when the handle 24 is in the second position, the distance between the rotating shaft 23 and the mouth of the cooking cup 1 is D2. It can be understood that the difference between D2 and D1 is the height of the cup cover 2 being pried up from the mouth of the cooking cup 1 when the handle 24 is rotated from the first position to the second position. In order to be able to easily pull the cup cover 2 out of the cooking cup 1 after the handle 24 is rotated to the second position, the difference between D2 and D1 is not less than 15 mm.

[0037] After the cup cover 2 is in place, the lower end surface of the cover body 21 abuts against the upper end surface of the cooking cup 1. The side of the cover body 21 is provided with an escape notch 211 for the driving part 241 to move. When the handle 24 is in the first position, the driving part 241 does not exceed the lower end surface of the cover body 21.

[0038] In one embodiment, the grip portion 242 is roughly C-shaped, and a recessed portion 212 is provided on the cover body 21. When the handle 24 is in the first position, at least part of the grip portion 242 is accommodated in the recessed portion 212, so that the handle 24 is basically flush with the upper end surface of the cover body 21.

[0039] refer to Figure 5A retractable locking tongue 213 is provided in the recessed portion 212. When the handle 24 is in the first position, the locking tongue 213 can be combined with the locking groove on the grip portion 242 to lock the handle 24, so as to prevent the handle 24 from entering the first position from rotating to the second position, thereby preventing the cup cover 2 from being opened by mistake when the food processor is working. A cover opening button 214 is provided on the cover body 21. Pressing the cover opening button 214 can retract the locking tongue 213 into the cover body 21 to unlock the handle 24, so that it can rotate from the first position to the second position.

[0040] For example, in one embodiment, Figure 6 The cover body 21 is provided with a first mounting groove 215 and a second mounting groove 216. The locking tongue 213 includes a first end extending out of the first mounting groove 215 and a second end opposite to the first end. The second end is arranged in the first mounting groove 215, and a first compression spring (not shown) is provided between the second end and the first mounting groove 215. The first compression spring applies an elastic force to the locking tongue 213 to make it move toward the first end. Under normal circumstances, the first end of the locking tongue 213 extends out of the first mounting groove 215 under the elastic force of the first compression spring. The cover opening button 214 is arranged in the second mounting groove 216, and the second mounting groove 216 is connected with the first mounting groove 215. The lower end of the cover opening button 214 is connected with a driving column, and the second end of the lock tongue 213 is provided with a driving matching groove. At least one of the matching surfaces of the driving column and the driving matching groove is a guiding inclined surface 217. When the cover opening button 214 is pressed downward, under the action of the guiding inclined surface 217, the lock tongue 213 overcomes the elastic force of the first compression spring and moves toward the second end direction, thereby disengaging from the locking groove 243 of the hand grip 242, thereby unlocking the handle 2. In addition, a second compression spring (not shown) can also be arranged in the second mounting groove 216, and the second compression spring applies an upward elastic force to the cover opening button 214, so that after the cover opening button 214 is released, the cover opening button 214 can be reset under the elastic force of the second compression spring.

[0041] refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, a pop-up mechanism 245 is further provided on the hand grip 242. After the lock tongue 213 releases the lock on the hand grip 242, the pop-up mechanism 245 pops out the handle 24 from the first position to prevent the lock tongue 213 from extending into the lock slot 243 again and locking the handle 24 after the cover opening button 214 is released, causing inconvenience in opening the cover. The structure of the pop-up mechanism 245 is not limited. For example, it can be only a compression spring, elastic rubber, or a combination of a spring column and a spring sleeved with the spring column. Its main purpose is to deform so that the hand grip 242 and the recessed portion 212 can be popped open. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the above-mentioned pop-up mechanism 245 can also be set in the recessed portion 212. When the cover opening button 214 is pressed to unlock, the handle 24 can also be popped out of the first position.

[0042] refer to Figures 4 to 6In order to reduce the height of the cup cover 2 as much as possible, the handle 24 is arranged so that when it is in the first position, its lower end surface is substantially in contact with the bottom surface of the recessed portion 212, which makes it inconvenient to operate the hand grip 242 to rotate to the second position. Therefore, the hand grip 242 is further provided with a hook portion 244 for easy finger gripping. Figure 4 The finger hook portion is described as one or more protrusions provided on the grip portion 242. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the finger hook portion 244 may also be one or more grooves formed on the grip portion 242, but is not limited thereto. As long as the structure can facilitate the fingers to rotate the grip portion 242 when the handle 24 is in the first position, it can be called the finger hook portion 244.

[0043] It should be noted that the food processor in the present application is a kitchen appliance used for mixing, crushing, whipping, cutting, squeezing, heating and other processing of food, including but not limited to a wall breaker, a soy milk maker, a juicer, a steam food maker, an ice crusher, a meat grinder, etc. The food processor 1 and the main unit can be installed in an integrated manner or can be assembled detachably. According to actual needs, a feeding hole can be opened on the cup cover 2, and a feeding cover can be installed, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0044] It should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
