Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and more specifically, to a dehydration component of a food processor and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] Take fruit and vegetable salad as an example. After washing the fruits and vegetables, they are usually left to stand and wait for the water on the surface of the fruits and vegetables to drip naturally, which takes a long time. If the washed fruits and vegetables are directly stirred, the water content of the salad will be too high, and the taste and flavor will be poor. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides a food processor that can quickly drain the water on the surface of washed food, saving time and improving the taste.

[0004] A dehydration component of a food processor, comprising:

[0005] Bowl body;

[0006] A dehydration basket is rotatably disposed in the bowl body, the dehydration basket is provided with a rotating joint portion for transmission connection with the driving assembly, and the dehydration basket is also provided with a dehydration hole;

[0007] A support pad is laid in the bowl body and is located below the dehydration basket. The support pad is provided with a drainage hole. In this solution, the dehydration basket is used to place the food to be dehydrated. The dehydration basket can rotate when receiving the driving torque of the driving assembly, and the food in the dehydration basket is dehydrated by centrifugal force. In addition, the support pad can be placed in the bowl body when the food processor performs the dehydration function, and plays a supporting role for the movable dehydration basket. The water thrown out from the dehydration basket can flow to the bottom of the bowl body through the drainage hole of the support pad, preventing water from silting up and ensuring the drainage effect.

[0008] Optionally, the support pad is arranged to remain relatively fixed with the bowl body. In this way, the stability of the position of the support pad in the bowl body can be ensured, and more reliable support for the dehydration basket can be achieved. Optionally, the support pad is provided with a deformable flexible portion, and the flexible portion is in contact with the bowl body. The flexible portion has the characteristic of being deformable. Under the action of the gravity of the dehydration basket, the flexible portion contacts and deforms with the bowl body, increasing the contact force and contact area between the flexible portion and the bowl body, thereby increasing the rotation resistance of the support pad and reducing the possibility of the support pad rotating.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom surface of the support pad is provided with an annular groove arranged around the support pad, and the flexible portion is filled in the annular groove. The flexible portion extends in a circumferential direction around the support portion, and an annular contact surface is formed between the flexible portion and the bowl body, and the annular contact surface further increases the rotation resistance of the support pad and further reduces the possibility of rotation of the support pad.

[0010] Optionally, the bottom surface of the support pad is formed with a first surface with a larger roughness and a second surface with a smaller roughness, and the first surface is in contact with the bowl body. The greater the roughness of the first surface, the greater the friction between the first surface and the bowl body, and the resistance of the support pad when rotating increases accordingly, and the possibility of the support pad rotating decreases.

[0011] Optionally, the support pad is directly opposite to the support portion of the rotating joint, and the dehydration basket is supported by the support portion and can rotate relative to the support pad at the support portion. The support portion not only provides support for the dehydration basket, but also cooperates with the rotation of the dehydration basket, thereby ensuring the centration of the dehydration basket during rotation and reducing the vibration of the dehydration basket during rotation.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom surface of the dehydration basket is provided with a recess, the support part is inserted into the recess, and the dehydration basket rotates around the support part. The support part is inserted into the recess on the bottom surface of the dehydration basket, and during the rotation of the dehydration basket, the support part forms a rotating shaft of the dehydration basket, so that the rotation of the dehydration basket is more stable.

[0013] Optionally, the dehydration basket includes a basket body and a basket cover. After the basket cover is covered on the basket body, the basket body and the basket cover remain relatively fixed in the rotation direction of the dehydration basket; the basket cover is provided with the rotation joint, the basket body and the support part are rotationally matched, and the basket cover and the basket body are both provided with the dehydration holes. In this way, the basket body can rotate with the basket cover, and the dehydration basket is provided with dehydration holes at different positions, so that the water on the surface of the food is conveniently thrown out, and the dehydration effect of the food is better.

[0014] Optionally, the dehydration basket and the support pad are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the selection and application of the models of the dehydration basket and the support pad.

[0015] Optionally, the top surface of the support portion is configured as a spherical surface. This configuration can achieve point contact between the support portion and the dehydration basket in the recess, which can reduce the friction force when the dehydration basket rotates relative to the support portion, thereby increasing the flexibility of the dehydration basket when rotating.

[0016] Optionally, the basket body is snap-connected with the basket cover. With such arrangement, the basket body can rotate along with the basket cover, and the covering method of the basket body and the basket cover is simple.

[0017] A food processor, comprising:

[0018] Host, including drive components;

[0019] In the dehydration assembly as described in any of the above items, the dehydration basket is transmission-connected to the driving assembly of the main machine through the rotating joint. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a food processor 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the blender 100 is shown in FIG.

[0031] The present application provides a food processor 100, which includes a main machine 10 and a dehydration assembly 20. The main machine 10 includes a base 11 and a head 12 mounted on the base 11, and the head 12 is located above the base 11. The head 12 includes a driving assembly 120.

[0032] The dehydration assembly 20 includes a bowl body 21, a dehydration basket 22 disposed in the bowl body 21, and a support pad 23. The bowl body 21 is disposed on the base 11. For example, a groove for placing the bowl body 21 can be disposed on the base 11, and the shape of the groove is adapted to the structure at the bottom of the bowl body 21. A connecting structure matched with the bowl body 21 can also be disposed on the base 11 to ensure that the bowl body 21 and the base 11 are relatively fixed and limit the bowl body 21 from being separated from the base 11. The connecting structure can be a detachable structure, including but not limited to a snap connection.

[0033] The dehydration basket 22 is rotatably disposed in the bowl body 21, and the support pad 23 is laid in the bowl body 21 and is detachable from the bowl body 21, and the support pad 23 is supported below the dehydration basket 22. The dehydration basket 22 is provided with a rotation joint 220, and the rotation joint 220 is used for transmission connection with the driving assembly 120 in the host 10. The dehydration basket 22 is also provided with a dehydration hole 221, and the support pad 23 is provided with a leakage hole 234.

[0034] According to the above description, the dehydration basket 22 is used to place the food to be dehydrated. The dehydration basket 22 is rotated by the driving torque of the driving assembly 120, and the food in the dehydration basket 22 is dehydrated by centrifugal force. On the one hand, the function of the food processor 100 can be expanded to meet the different usage requirements of users without taking up space; on the other hand, the support pad 23 can be used when the food processor 100 performs the dehydration function, and it supports the movable dehydration basket 22, and the water leakage hole 234 of the support pad 23 facilitates the thrown water to flow to the bottom of the bowl, prevents water from silting, and ensures the drainage effect. When the food processor 100 performs other functions such as stirring, the support pad 23 can be taken out to avoid affecting other functions.

[0035] In one embodiment, the support pad 23 is provided with a support portion 230 disposed opposite to the rotating joint portion 220, and the dehydration basket 22 is supported by the support portion 230 and rotates relative to the support pad 23 at the support portion 230. The support pad 23 is supported at the bottom of the dehydration basket 22, and the support portion 230 not only provides support for the dehydration basket 22, but also cooperates with the dehydration basket 22 in rotation, thereby ensuring the centration of the dehydration basket 22 during rotation and reducing the vibration of the dehydration basket 22 during rotation.

[0036] In one embodiment, the support pad 23 is arranged to remain relatively fixed with the bowl body 21. That is, the support pad 23 is prevented from rotating when the dehydration basket 22 rotates, so that the stability of the position of the support pad 23 in the bowl body 21 can be ensured, and the dehydration basket 22 can be supported more reliably.

[0037] The manner in which the support pad 23 and the bowl body 21 are kept relatively fixed is not limited. In one embodiment, the support pad 23 and the bowl body 21 are bonded and fixed, and the support pad 23 and the bowl body 21 are kept relatively fixed by a connecting structure. In some other embodiments, a first surface with a larger roughness and a second surface with a smaller roughness may be formed on the support pad 23, and the first surface is in contact with the bowl body 21. The greater the roughness of the first surface, the greater the friction between the first surface and the bowl body 21, the greater the resistance of the support pad 23 when rotating, and the possibility of the support pad 23 rotating is reduced.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support pad 23 is provided with a deformable flexible portion 231, and the flexible portion 231 is in contact with the bowl body 21. In this way, the flexible portion 231 has the characteristic of being deformable. Under the gravity of the dehydration basket 22, the flexible portion 231 contacts and deforms the bowl body 21, thereby increasing the contact force and contact area between the flexible portion 231 and the bowl body 21, thereby increasing the rotation resistance of the support pad 23 and reducing the possibility of the support pad 23 rotating.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the support pad 23.

[0040] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the support pad 23 is provided with an annular groove 232 arranged around, and the flexible portion 231 is filled in the annular groove 232. The annular groove 232 can be arranged around the support portion 230. The flexible portion 231 includes but is not limited to using silicone with relatively low hardness. In this way, the flexible portion 231 extends in the circumferential direction around the support portion 230, and an annular contact surface is formed between the flexible portion 231 and the bowl body 21, which further increases the rotation resistance of the support pad 23 and further reduces the possibility of rotation of the support pad 23. The flexible portion 231 includes but is not limited to using silicone.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the support pad 23 may include a support pad body 233 that is separately provided with the flexible portion 231, the top surface of the support pad body 233 is provided with a support portion 230, the bottom surface of the support pad body 233 is provided with an annular groove 232, the flexible portion 231 is assembled in the annular groove 232 of the support pad body 233, and the flexible portion 231 is detachable. In another embodiment, the support pad body 233 and the flexible portion 231 can be integrally formed by two-color injection molding. The hardness of the support pad body 233 can be greater than the hardness of the flexible portion 231, so that the support capacity of the support pad body 233 can be guaranteed.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the support pad 23 is provided with a water leakage hole 234, more specifically, the support pad body 233 is provided with a water leakage hole 234, and the water thrown out from the dehydration basket 22 can flow to the bottom of the bowl body 21 through the water leakage hole 234, and the water will not accumulate on the support pad 23. The number and shape of the water leakage holes 234 are not limited.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a cross-sectional view of the support pad 23 and the dehydration basket 22 in an exploded state.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the dehydration basket 22 is provided with a recessed portion 222, and the support portion 230 is inserted into the recessed portion 222, and the dehydration basket 22 rotates around the support portion 230. In this configuration, the support portion 230 is inserted into the recessed portion 222 on the bottom surface of the dehydration basket 22, and during the rotation of the dehydration basket 22, the support portion 230 forms a rotating shaft of the dehydration basket 22, so that the rotation of the dehydration basket 22 is more stable.

[0045] In one embodiment, the top surface of the support portion 230 is configured as a spherical surface. In this way, the support portion 230 can be in point contact with the dehydration basket 22 in the recess 222, which can reduce the friction force when the dehydration basket 22 rotates relative to the support portion 230, thereby increasing the flexibility of the dehydration basket 22 when rotating.

[0046] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the dehydration basket 22 includes a basket body 223 and a basket cover 224. After the basket cover 224 covers the basket body 223, the basket body 223 and the basket cover 224 remain relatively fixed in the rotation direction of the dehydration basket 22, so that the basket body 223 can rotate with the basket cover 224.
