[0033] The following will, with reference to the accompanying drawings, elaborate on some embodiments of this application. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the present application provides a food processor 100 suitable for making tofu pudding. The food processor 100 includes a pot body 1, a pot liner 3 accommodated in the pot body 1, and a connecting arm 4 hinged to the pot body 1 so as to be turnable back and forth. A pot lid 2 is coupled to the connecting arm 4, and the connecting arm 4 turns back and forth to cover the pot lid 2 on the pot body 1 or open it from the pot body 1. The connecting arm 4 has opposite front end 41 and rear end 42. The rear end 42 of the connecting arm 4 is hinged to the pot body 1, and the front end 41 extends above the pot liner 3 and is generally connected to the central portion of the pot lid 2. A heating device is provided in the pot body 1 to be suitable for heating the pot liner 3, and the heating device can be a heating plate, an electromagnetic coil, etc. A ventilation hole 101 is provided at the bottom of the pot body 1 for ventilation and heat dissipation. In one embodiment, the food processor 100 is a multi-functional cooking appliance, which is not only suitable for making tofu pudding, but also can make other foods, such as cooking porridge, making soup, cooking rice, cooking vegetables, etc.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 As shown in the figure, when making tofu pudding, the pot liner 3 is filled with slurry, and the slurry is, for example, soybean milk slurry. The food processor 100 includes a stirring device 5 for stirring the slurry in the pot liner 3. The stirring device 5 includes a driving member and a stirring member 52. The driving member is disposed above the pot liner 3 and is configured to provide power for driving the stirring member 52 to rotate. The stirring member 52 is connected to the driving member from bottom to top and rotates in a set rotation direction under the drive of the driving member to stir the slurry. In this embodiment, the driving member is disposed in the connecting arm 4. That is, the stirring device 5 is upper-mounted relative to the pot liner 3. The driving member includes a motor 51 and some related circuit components for driving the motor 51 to work. The motor 51 has a motor shaft 511 protruding into the pot liner 3, and the motor shaft 511 is used to connect to the stirring member 52 to drive the stirring member 52 to rotate.

[0036] In this embodiment, at least in the program of making tofu pudding, the motor 51 drives the stirring member 52 to rotate in one direction, and this one-way rotation direction is related to the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 formed by the stirring blades 523 on the stirring member 52. This one-way rotation enables the slurry to enter below the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 from the side where the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 is lifted. The downward pressing inclined surface 5233 drives the slurry to flow downward, so that the force of the slurry acting on the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 is an upward pushing force, and this force helps to maintain the coupling connection between the stirring member 52 and the driving member. Please refer to Figure 6. The rotation direction of the stirring member 52 driven by the motor 51, that is, the set rotation direction described above is as Figure 6As shown by the arrow in the figure. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, if the twisting direction of the stirring paddle 523 is opposite, the rotating direction of the stirring member 52 is opposite. It should be noted that when making other foods, the stirring member 52 may not be used, or other different types of stirring members may be used according to needs, such as those without the downward pressing inclined surface 5233; when making other foods, according to needs, the motor 51 may rotate forward or reverse.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the stirring member 52 and the driving member are detachably coupled. During installation, the stirring member 52 is inserted onto the motor shaft 511 from bottom to top; during disassembly, the stirring member 52 is adapted to be subjected to a downward external force, such as a pulling force, to disengage from the motor shaft 511 for removal. In this embodiment, the stirring member 52 is inserted onto the motor shaft 511 through a bushing 522. Specifically, the stirring member 52 includes a connecting shaft 521, a bushing 522, and a stirring paddle 523. The stirring paddle 523 is connected to the lower end of the connecting shaft 521. The bushing 522 is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 521 by screws or the like. The bushing 522 is sleeved on the motor shaft 511 and the two are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction. The detachable connection between the stirring member 52 and the motor 51 can be specifically various ways. For example, in one embodiment, a magnetic attracting member is provided inside the bushing 522, and the stirring member 52 is magnetically attracted to the motor shaft 511 through the magnetic attracting member; for another example, in one embodiment, the bushing 522 is an elastic member and is connected to the motor shaft 511 by interference fit. To facilitate the placement of the stirring member 52 after it is removed, a storage portion 43 for storing the removed stirring member 52 is provided on the pot body 1 or the connecting arm 4. In this embodiment, the storage portion 43 is a plug post provided on the side surface of the connecting arm 4 for the stirring member 52 to be sleeved and stored through the bushing 522. In other embodiments, the storage portion 43 may also be provided on the pot body 1, and it can also be configured in other forms, such as a storage box structure or the like.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7As shown, the stirring blade 523 is configured with a downward pressing inclined surface 5233. When the driving member drives the stirring member 52 to rotate along the set rotation direction to stir the slurry, the force of the slurry acting on the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 is upward, so as to prevent the stirring member 52 from detaching from the driving member during the stirring process. That is, the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 is configured to be able to drive the slurry to flow downward; when stirring the slurry, the slurry acts on the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 to generate a holding force that keeps the stirring member 52 and the driving member coupled to prevent the two from detaching; when the stirring stops, the stirring member 52 loses the action of the holding force and can be separated from the driving member under the action of an external force. In this embodiment, the stirring blade 523 includes a central mounting portion 5231 and blades 5232 extending from the central mounting portion 5231 to both sides. An installation hole is provided at the central mounting portion 5231 for connecting to the connecting shaft 521. The blades 5232 are twisted relative to the central mounting portion 5231 to form the downward pressing inclined surface 5233. In other embodiments, the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 can also be formed by cutting, injection molding, etc. In this embodiment, the angle between the outermost edge of the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 and the horizontal plane is 20° to 45°. When this angle is smaller or larger, the upward force of the slurry will decrease, and the stirring effect will be significantly reduced when the angle is smaller. In order to ensure the stirring effect of the stirring member 52 and at the same time receive a relatively large acting force from the slurry, it is preferably to set the angle range as the above range. More preferably, the range of the above included angle is 25° to 40°. Since the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 presses down the slurry when the stirring member 52 rotates, it can prevent the slurry from splashing, and at the same time is conducive to the formation of a vortex, which can improve the stirring effect.

[0039] Please refer to again Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a liquid level indication line 31 for indicating the slurry addition amount during the production of bean curd is provided on the pot liner 3. This liquid level indication line 31 can be the optimal recommended liquid level, or the maximum liquid level or the minimum liquid level. In this embodiment, the height h of the stirring paddle 523 is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the height H of the liquid level indication line 31; that is, the length of the stirring paddle 523 extending into the slurry does not exceed half of the slurry depth, so that a large amount of slurry is stirred below the stirring paddle 523 to ensure that there is sufficient slurry to provide an upward force acting on the stirring paddle 523. Preferably, the height H of the liquid level indication line 31 is 6 to 12 cm, and specific values can be, for example, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, etc. It should be noted that for the bottom wall of the pot liner 3 being a plane, the above height is the distance to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the pot liner 3; for the bottom wall of the pot liner 3 being a convex or concave surface, the height h from the stirring paddle 523 to the bottom of the pot is the distance from the stirring paddle 523 vertically downward from its position to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the pot liner 3, and the height H from the liquid level indication line 31 to the bottom of the pot has the same lower end as the height h and the upper end is the distance to the liquid level indication line 31.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, when the stirring member 52 is connected to the driving member, it is located on one side of the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3 close to the rear end 42 of the connecting arm 4. In other words, the position of the stirring member 52 when installed in the pot liner 3 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3, and this eccentricity is that the stirring member 52 is closer to the rear side of the pot body 1. That is, the central axis L2 of the stirring member 52 is located at the rear side of the central axis L1 of the pot liner 3. The stirring member 52 is eccentrically arranged, and the stirred slurry flows asymmetrically. The flow rate of the slurry between the stirring member 52 and the rear side of the pot liner 3 is fast, hitting the rear side of the pot liner 3 and rebounding to collide with other slurries. This interaction stimulates a stronger turbulent flow effect, improving the stirring efficiency and effect. In this embodiment, the diameter of the pot liner 3 is greater than the depth of the pot liner 3, so that the pot liner 3 is flat. Such a pot liner 3 has a larger bottom area, and through the eccentric arrangement of the above-mentioned stirring member 52, the asymmetry of the eddy current can be increased, enhancing the stirring effect. Moreover, compared with a slender processing barrel, the pot liner 3 is flat. When making bean curd of the same capacity, the slurry depth will not be too deep, so that the liquid pressure can also be reduced, the stirring resistance of the stirring member 52 can be reduced, and the stirring member 52 is not easily detached.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description of the specific embodiments, the food processor 100 suitable for making tofu pudding provided by the present application has the stirring device 5 disposed thereon, and the stirring member 52 and the driving member are detachably connected, which greatly facilitates the disassembly, assembly and cleaning of the stirring member 52. At the same time, the stirring paddle 523 of the stirring member 52 is provided with a downward pressing inclined surface 5233, so that when the driving member drives the stirring member 52 to rotate and stir the slurry along the set rotation direction, the force of the slurry acting on the downward pressing inclined surface 5233 forms an upward holding force to prevent the stirring member 52 from detaching from the motor shaft 511, so as to prevent the stirring member 52 from detaching from the driving member during the stirring process, and improves the safety of the easily detachable stirring member 52 during use.

[0042] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
