[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the description of this application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.
[0027] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, this application discloses a food processor, which includes a stirring cup assembly 1, a boiling cup assembly 2, and a discharge assembly 3. In some embodiments, the stirring cup assembly 1 has a stirring cavity 11, the boiling cup assembly 2 has a boiling cavity 21, the discharge assembly 3 is disposed between the stirring cup assembly 1 and the boiling cup assembly 2, and the discharge assembly can connect or cut off the stirring cavity 11 and the boiling cavity 21, so that the boiling cavity 21 exhausts pressure to the stirring cavity 11 or is in a sealed state. Preferably, by connecting or cutting off the stirring cavity 11 and the boiling cavity 21 through the discharge assembly 3, so that the boiling cavity 21 exhausts pressure to the stirring cavity 11 or is in a sealed state, when the boiling cavity 21 is in a sealed state, it is driven to form a micro-high pressure in the boiling cavity 21, reducing heat loss during the boiling process and improving the boiling efficiency. And when the boiling cavity 21 exhausts pressure to the stirring cavity 11, water vapor and / or overflowing ingredients flow to the stirring cavity 11, preventing the water vapor and the overflowing ingredients from directly spraying to the outside.
[0028] Optionally, the boiling cavity 21 itself has the function of heating the ingredients in the cavity. Optionally, the boiling cavity 21 can be heated by an external cooking utensil (such as an induction cooker, a gas stove, an electric stove, etc.) to boil the ingredients in the boiling cavity 21. During the boiling process, the stirring cavity 11 and the boiling cavity 21 are cut off through the discharge assembly 3, so that the boiling cavity 21 is in a sealed state, driving a micro-high pressure to be formed in the boiling cavity 21. Preferably, when the pressure and / or temperature in the boiling cavity 21 reaches a preset value, the stirring cavity 11 and the boiling cavity 21 are connected through the discharge assembly 3, so that the boiling cavity 21 exhausts pressure to the stirring cavity 11. The pressure and temperature in the boiling cavity 21 can be detected by setting a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor in the boiling cavity 21. When the boiling cavity 21 exhausts pressure to the stirring cavity 11, the water vapor and / or overflowing ingredients in the boiling cavity 21 flow to the stirring cavity 11, preventing the water vapor and / or overflowing ingredients from directly spraying to the outside and avoiding the user from being scalded by the high-temperature water vapor and / or overflowing ingredients.
[0029] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, the discharge assembly 3 includes a slurry discharge pipe 31 and a stop valve 32. The stop valve 32 is arranged on the slurry discharge pipe 31. One end of the slurry discharge pipe 31 communicates with the stirring chamber 11, and the other end of the slurry discharge pipe 31 communicates with the boiling chamber 21. In this way, when the stop valve 32 cuts off the slurry discharge pipe 31, the boiling chamber 21 is cut off from the stirring chamber 11, so that the boiling chamber 21 is in a sealed state, driving a micro-high pressure to be formed in the boiling chamber 21 during the boiling process; when the stop valve 32 opens the slurry discharge pipe 31, the slurry discharge pipe 31 connects the boiling chamber 21 and the stirring chamber 11. After the stirring blades in the stirring chamber 11 process the ingredients into slurry, the slurry flows from the stirring chamber 11 into the boiling chamber 21 through the slurry discharge pipe 31 for boiling, and the water vapor and / or the overflowing ingredients in the boiling chamber 21 flow through the slurry discharge pipe 31 to the stirring chamber 11, so that the slurry discharge pipe 31 can not only discharge the slurry from the stirring chamber 11, but also exhaust and relieve pressure from the boiling chamber 21, without additionally arranging a micro-high pressure component and an exhaust and pressure relief component on the boiling cup assembly 2, realizing the optimization of the product structure and reducing the production cost of the equipment.
[0030] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, the discharge assembly 3 further includes a temperature detection unit 33 disposed in the boiling chamber 21, and the stop valve 32 is electrically connected to the temperature detection unit 33. In this way, the temperature detection unit 33 can detect the temperature in the boiling chamber 21 and feedback the temperature to the stop valve 32, driving the stop valve 32 to block the slurry discharge pipe 31 within a preset temperature range, so that the boiling chamber 21 is in a sealed state. Optionally, the temperature detection unit 33 is an NTC temperature sensor. Optionally, both the temperature detection unit 33 and the stop valve 32 are electrically connected to an MCU or a control circuit. The MCU or the control circuit collects the temperature in the boiling chamber 21 through the temperature detection unit 33 and then sends an instruction to the stop valve 32 to block or open the slurry discharge pipe 31. Optionally, before the ingredients in the boiling chamber 21 boil (60°C - 95°C), the slurry discharge pipe 31 is blocked by the stop valve 32 so that the boiling chamber 21 is in a sealed state, driving the boiling chamber 21 to form a micro-high pressure, thereby reducing heat loss and improving the boiling efficiency. When the temperature detection unit 33 detects that the soybean milk ingredients are boiling, the slurry discharge pipe 31 is opened by the stop valve 32, and the slurry discharge pipe 31 connects the boiling chamber 21 and the stirring chamber 11, thereby discharging the steam and high pressure generated in the boiling chamber 21. Further, after the stop valve 32 opens the slurry discharge pipe 31, the pressure difference can be used to defoam the boiling ingredients in the boiling chamber 21, and the water vapor and / or the overflowing ingredients (such as soybean milk foam, etc.) generated during the boiling process can flow back towards the stirring chamber 11 through the slurry discharge pipe 31. At this time, since there is a large space in the stirring chamber 11, a large amount of water vapor and / or overflowing ingredients (such as soybean milk foam, etc.) can be stored, effectively preventing the overflow problem generated during the boiling process.
[0031] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the bottom of the stirring chamber 11 is higher than the top of the boiling chamber 21. In this way, due to the height difference between the stirring chamber 11 and the boiling chamber 21, the liquid in the stirring chamber 11 can flow back into the boiling chamber 21. In this embodiment, during the flow process between the slurry discharge pipe 31 and the stirring chamber 11, the water vapor and / or the overflowing ingredients (such as soybean milk foam, etc.) will form a liquefaction phenomenon due to heat loss, and under the action of the height difference between the stirring chamber 11 and the boiling chamber 21, the liquefied ingredients are driven to flow back into the boiling chamber 21, effectively avoiding waste of ingredients.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, the boiling cup assembly 2 includes a boiling cup body 22 having the boiling chamber 21. The boiling cup body 22 is provided with a discharge interface 23, and the discharge interface 23 communicates the discharge assembly 3 with the boiling chamber 21. Optionally, the boiling chamber 21 is disposed inside the boiling cup body 22, the discharge interface 23 is disposed on the boiling cup, and one end of the discharge interface 23 faces the boiling chamber 21 so that one end of the discharge interface 23 communicates with the boiling chamber 21, and the other end of the discharge interface 23 extends out of the boiling cup body 22 and is connected to the discharge assembly 3. Optionally, the discharge interface 23 communicates the other end of the slurry discharge pipe 31 with the boiling chamber 21 so that the water vapor and the overflowed ingredients can flow between the slurry discharge pipe 31 and the boiling chamber 21 through the discharge interface 23.
[0033] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the boiling cup body 22 is provided with an opening communicating with the boiling chamber 21, and the opening is covered with a cup lid 24. In this way, the ingredients boiled in the boiling chamber 21 can be poured out through the opening, which is convenient for the user to eat or transfer the ingredients to the next processing step. When boiling the ingredients, the cup lid 24 is covered on the opening, and at the same time, the cut-off valve 32 cuts off the slurry discharge pipe 31 so that the boiling chamber 21 in the boiling cup body 22 is in a sealed state, and during the boiling process, a micro-high pressure is formed in the sealed boiling chamber 21, which can reduce heat loss and improve the boiling efficiency.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the cup lid 24 is provided with a first snap member 25, and the boiling cup body 22 is provided with a second snap member 26 that cooperates with the first snap member 25. In this way, through the cooperation and connection of the first snap member 25 and the second snap member 26, the cup lid 24 is firmly covered on the opening of the boiling cup body 22, improving the connection strength between the cup lid 24 and the boiling cup body 22 and avoiding leakage. Further, sealing members such as sealing rings and gaskets are also provided between the cup lid 24 and the boiling cup body 22 to optimize the sealing between the cup lid 24 and the boiling cup body 22.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1, in some embodiments, a heating unit 27 is assembled in the boiling cup body 22, and the heating unit 27 is used to heat the boiling cavity 21. Optionally, the heating unit 27 can be disposed in the boiling cavity 21 to directly heat the ingredients in the boiling cavity 21; preferably, the heating unit 27 is disposed at the bottom of the boiling cavity 21 to heat the boiling cavity 21 so as to boil the ingredients in the boiling cavity 21; optionally, the heating unit 27 is a heating wire.
[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, it further includes a main body 4, and the stirring cup assembly 1, the boiling cup assembly 2 and the discharging assembly 3 are all assembled on the main body 4. Optionally, the main body 4 can be composed of several supporting platforms and / or mounting positions for fixedly supporting the stirring cup assembly 1, the boiling cup assembly 2 and the discharging assembly 3. Optionally, a stirring driving member for driving the stirring blade in the stirring cavity 11 to rotate can be disposed in the main body 4. Optionally, a valve core driving member for driving the stop valve 32 to move can be disposed in the main body 4.
[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the main body 4 is provided with a first power interface 41, and the boiling cup assembly 2 is provided with a second power interface electrically connected to the first power interface 41. In this way, through the electrical connection between the first power interface 41 and the second power interface, the main body 4 supplies power to the boiling cup assembly 2 so that the heating unit 27 and the temperature detection unit 33 in the boiling cup assembly 2 can be powered on and started.
[0038] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, in some embodiments, after the stirring blades in the stirring chamber 11 process the food materials into slurry, the slurry flows from the stirring chamber 11 into the boiling chamber 21 through the slurry discharge pipe 31, and then the heating unit 27 heats the boiling chamber 21 to boil the food materials in the boiling chamber 21. When the temperature detection unit 33 detects that the food materials in the boiling chamber 21 are within a preset temperature range (before boiling, 60°C - 95°C), the slurry discharge pipe 31 is blocked by the stop valve 32 to make the boiling chamber 21 in a sealed state, driving the boiling chamber 21 to form a micro-high pressure, thereby reducing heat loss and improving the boiling efficiency. When the temperature detection unit 33 detects that the soy milk food materials are boiling, the stop valve 32 is used to open the slurry discharge pipe 31, and the slurry discharge pipe 31 connects the boiling chamber 21 and the stirring chamber 11, so as to release the steam and high pressure generated in the boiling chamber 21. And after the stop valve 32 opens the slurry discharge pipe 31, the pressure difference can be used to defoam the boiling food materials in the boiling chamber 21. At the same time, the water vapor and / or the overflowing food materials (such as the foam of soy milk, etc.) generated during the boiling process can flow back towards the stirring chamber 11 through the slurry discharge pipe 31. At this time, since there is a large space in the stirring chamber 11, a large amount of water vapor and / or overflowing food materials (such as the foam of soy milk, etc.) can be stored, effectively preventing the overflow problem generated during the boiling process. Moreover, the water vapor and / or the overflowing food materials (such as the foam of soy milk, etc.) will liquefy due to heat loss during the flow between the slurry discharge pipe 31 and the stirring chamber 11, and under the action of the height difference between the stirring chamber 11 and the boiling chamber 21, the liquefied food materials are driven to flow back into the boiling chamber 21, effectively avoiding the waste of food materials.
