[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model to be protected, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-6, this embodiment provides a cooking machine with a lighting function, which includes a machine base 100 and a machine head 200. The machine head 200 is arranged on the machine base 100, and the machine head 200 can be flipped relative to the machine base 100. A limiting groove 11 for installing a mixing barrel 300 is provided on the machine base 100, and the mixing barrel 300 is buckled on the limiting groove 11. When the machine head 200 is flipped upward relative to the machine base 100, the mixing barrel 300 can be taken out. A mixing mechanism for dough kneading or stirring is installed on the machine head 200, and the mixing mechanism is a dough hook, an egg beater, a stirring rod, etc.

[0027] The machine head 200 includes a housing 2. A light-transmitting hole 221 is opened at the bottom of the housing 2. A lighting unit 3 is installed in the housing 2, and the lighting unit 3 is located above the limiting groove 11. When the mixing barrel 300 is installed on the machine base 100, the light emitted by the lighting unit 3 passes through the light-transmitting hole 221 and irradiates into the mixing barrel 300. The lighting unit 3 is located at a position directly opposite to the mixing barrel 300, and it is not easy to generate shadows. The light can directly irradiate into the mixing barrel 300, making the light in the mixing barrel 300 more uniform. Users can observe the overall state of the food in the mixing barrel 300, enhancing the user experience.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 2-3 , in this embodiment, the mixing barrel 300 includes a lid 310 and a barrel body (not marked in the figure). The lid 310 is provided with a feeding port 320. When the user uses the cooking machine of this embodiment, the feeding port 320 can be located below the light-transmitting hole 221. The light emitted by the lighting unit 3 passes through the light-transmitting hole 221 and the feeding port 320 in sequence and then enters the barrel body of the mixing barrel 300, reducing the weakening of the light intensity by the lid 310, thereby further enhancing the brightness in the mixing barrel 300.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 4-6 , the lighting unit 3 includes a transparent lamp shade 31 and a lamp board 32. At least one lamp bead 321 is provided on the lamp board 32, and the lamp board 32 is connected to a power source. Specifically, the lamp board 32 can be connected to a circuit board or directly to a power cord, and the specific way of realizing power-on is not limited. The transparent lamp shade 31 covers the outside of the lamp board 32, and the lamp bead 321 is located above the light-transmitting hole 221. Designed in this way, it can further make the light emitted by the lamp bead 321 directly irradiate into the mixing barrel 300.

[0030] Specifically, a plurality of lamp beads 321 are provided. The plurality of lamp beads 321 are arranged radially. The transparent lamp cover 31 is provided with a convex surface portion 311. The convex surface of the convex surface portion 311 faces away from the lamp board 32, that is, the concave surface of the convex surface portion 311 is close to the lamp board 32. The positions of the lamp beads 321 correspond to the convex surface portion 311, so that the plurality of lamp beads 321 can be completely covered by the convex surface portion 311, reducing the influence of the outside on the lamp beads 321 when they are lit and making the light converge; the convex surface portion 311 is partially or entirely located in the light-transmitting hole 221, so that the converged light is vertically irradiated into the stirring barrel 300.

[0031] In this embodiment, the plurality of lamp beads 321 are arranged radially along the center of the same circle, thereby forming a large light source. On the one hand, it can enhance the brightness of the light source of the entire lighting unit 3, achieving the effect of strengthening the brightness without installing multiple lighting units, greatly saving costs; on the other hand, the area of the convex surface portion 311 required to completely cover the lamp beads 321 can be greatly reduced, and the effect of converging the light can be better achieved.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, the convex surface portion 311 is entirely located in the light-transmitting hole 221. The convex surface portion 311 is in the shape of a convex mirror and can reflect light, further enhancing the light intensity in the stirring barrel 300.

[0033] Further, please refer to Figures 2-5 , the lighting unit 3 further includes a fixing plate 33. The lamp board 32 is installed on the fixing plate 33. The housing 2 includes an upper housing 21 and a lower housing 22. After the upper housing 21 and the lower housing 22 are installed, a cavity 23 is formed.
