Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a food processor with good operation experience. Background Art

[0002] For food processors in the prior art, such as self-cleaning wall breakers or soy milk makers, most of their operation panels are designed as flat types set on the top and with a top-down viewing angle. With the continuous progress of the market and the continuous optimization and reform of product implementation, the prior art has introduced vertical operation panels to further enhance the appearance of food processors and meet the diverse usage needs of users.

[0003] In addition, existing food processors generally include a machine body and a cup body provided in the machine body and having a crushing cavity. A liquid discharge port communicating with the crushing cavity is provided at the bottom of the cup body. A slurry discharge nozzle is provided at the liquid discharge port, and a slurry receiving cup is provided below the slurry discharge nozzle. After the food materials are processed in the crushing cavity, they are discharged outward through the slurry discharge nozzle into the slurry receiving cup. However, the temperature of the slurry completed in the crushing cavity is relatively high, and the slurry also remains at a relatively high temperature when discharged outward through the liquid discharge port into the slurry receiving cup. Therefore, when discharging the liquid, the water vapor in the slurry flowing out of the liquid discharge port and the slurry in the slurry receiving cup will float upward, causing the surface of the vertical operation panel to fog, affecting the user's operation experience. And when the indoor temperature is relatively low, more water vapor condenses and turns into condensed water, which may seep into the operation panel and affect the internal electronic components, resulting in the failure or insensitivity of the operation panel and poor user operation experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a food processor with good operation experience, which solves the problem that for existing food processors with vertical operation panels, the water vapor of high-temperature slurry rises to the operation panel during the slurry receiving process, resulting in inconvenient touch operation for users.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] A food processor with good operation experience includes a machine body with a casing, a crushing cup provided in the casing and having a crushing cavity, a crushing device provided in the crushing cavity, and a motor drivingly connected to the crushing device. The crushing cup is provided with a liquid discharge port, a slurry discharge nozzle is provided at the liquid discharge port, a slurry receiving cup is provided below the slurry discharge nozzle. An operation panel is also provided on the outer side of the casing, the operation panel is arranged above the slurry receiving cup and extends vertically. A fan and an air outlet channel communicating with the fan are also provided in the casing. The end of the air outlet channel is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is exposed outside the casing and faces the side of the slurry receiving cup.

[0007] In the solution of this application, the food processor is provided with a liquid discharge port and a slurry discharge nozzle, and a slurry receiving cup is also provided. After the slurry is processed, the slurry can be discharged through the liquid discharge port into the slurry receiving cup, eliminating the need for the user to remove the crushing cup to pour the slurry, thus reducing the user's burden. In addition, since the temperature of the processed slurry is relatively high, this method can prevent the user from being scalded when taking the slurry, which is beneficial to further improving the user experience.

[0008] In this solution, an operation panel is provided on the outer side of the housing, and the operation panel extends vertically above the slurry receiving cup. A fan and an air outlet channel are provided inside the housing. The wind blown by the fan flows along the air outlet channel towards the air outlet, and blows towards the slurry receiving cup through the air outlet. Since the temperature of the processed slurry is relatively high, water vapor that rises will be generated when the slurry is discharged from the slurry discharge nozzle into the slurry receiving cup. At the same time, water vapor that rises will also be generated in the slurry in the slurry receiving cup. The air outlet faces the slurry receiving cup, and when the air blows out, it changes the flow direction of the water vapor rising on one side of the slurry receiving cup, preventing the water vapor from directly rising from the slurry receiving cup to the operation panel located above the slurry receiving cup. Thus, the accumulation of water vapor on the operation panel is avoided, preventing the operation panel from fogging and affecting the user's operation, improving the user operation experience. At the same time, it can prevent a large amount of condensed water from appearing on the operation panel and seeping into the panel, which is beneficial to protecting the electronic components inside the operation panel, keeping the operation accurate and sensitive, and helping to extend its service life, further improving the user operation experience. Moreover, the wind from the fan blows towards one side of the slurry receiving cup, which is beneficial to cooling the liquid in the slurry receiving cup, so that the high-temperature slurry can be quickly cooled to a suitable drinking temperature, shortening the user's waiting time and further enhancing the user's feeling.

[0009] In addition, the operation panel is provided on the outer side of the housing above the slurry receiving cup. Compared with the method of setting the operation panel on the top of the food processor, on the one hand, the outer side area of the housing is larger, and the vertically extending operation panel can accommodate multiple functions and multiple buttons. It is also possible to increase the button size or set a larger gap between the buttons, which is convenient for the user to operate, reduces accidental touches, and further improves the user operation experience.

[0010] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operation experience, at least part of the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane falls between the slurry receiving cup and the operation panel.

[0011] By restricting the setting range of the air outlet, the wind blown by the fan can directly blow between the slurry receiving cup and the operation panel when it blows out from the air outlet. Thus, the water vapor rising in the slurry receiving cup is driven by the airflow to change the direction of the water vapor before reaching the operation panel, further preventing the water vapor from rising to the operation panel, and realizing the direct and rapid blowing away of the water vapor, improving the efficiency of the fan.

[0012] In addition, since the slurry discharge nozzle is located above the slurry receiving cup, that is, between the operation panel and the slurry receiving cup, and the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane at least partially falls between the slurry receiving cup and the operation panel, the air blown by the fan can blow the water vapor generated during the slurry discharge process of the slurry discharge nozzle and the water vapor generated by the slurry in the slurry receiving cup at the same time, change the direction of water vapor dissipation, prevent the water vapor from dissipating to the operation panel, thereby avoiding fogging and condensate generation at the operation panel, and further enhancing the user operation experience.

[0013] In a preferred implementation manner of a food processor with good operation experience, the housing includes a housing body and a base fixed to the bottom of the housing body. The base is provided with a support portion extending horizontally outward for supporting the slurry receiving cup. An installation cavity is formed by enclosing the top surface of the support portion and the outer wall of the housing body. The slurry discharge nozzle extends out from the top wall of the installation cavity, and the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the installation cavity.

[0014] By extending the base to form the support portion, and the support portion and the housing body enclose an installation cavity for placing the slurry receiving cup, the overall structural compactness is improved. The slurry discharge nozzle extends out from the top wall of the installation cavity and is located above the slurry receiving cup, facilitating the rapid discharge of the slurry into the slurry receiving cup. The air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the installation cavity, and it is closer to the slurry receiving cup located in the installation cavity and the slurry discharge nozzle located on the top wall of the installation cavity, facilitating the air blown by the fan to quickly blow from the air outlet to the slurry discharge nozzle and the slurry receiving cup, realizing the rapid dispersion of the water vapor and preventing the water vapor from rising to the operation panel. At the same time, the slurry discharge nozzle, the slurry receiving cup and the air outlet are integrated at the installation cavity, which is beneficial for the air blown by the fan to maintain a relatively large air pressure when blowing from the air outlet to the slurry discharge nozzle and the slurry receiving cup, thereby realizing the powerful dispersion of the water vapor.

[0015] In a preferred implementation manner of a food processor with good operation experience, the slurry receiving cup includes a cup mouth located below the slurry discharge nozzle, and at least part of the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane falls on the cup mouth and / or the slurry discharge nozzle.

[0016] At least part of the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane falls on the cup mouth of the slurry receiving cup, and the air blown out by the air outlet directly blows towards the cup mouth, directly blowing away the water vapor generated by the slurry in the slurry receiving cup, preventing the water vapor from escaping upward from the cup mouth to the operation panel, and being beneficial for cooling the slurry in the slurry receiving cup, so that the slurry can reach a suitable drinking temperature as soon as possible;

[0017] Similarly, at least part of the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane falls on the slurry discharge nozzle, and the air blown out by the air outlet directly blows towards the slurry discharge nozzle, directly blowing away the water vapor that is likely to fall into the slurry receiving cup during the process of the slurry in the slurry discharge nozzle, thereby preventing the water vapor generated during the process of the slurry flowing from the slurry discharge nozzle to the slurry receiving cup from escaping upward to the operation panel, and being beneficial for cooling the slurry during its falling process, enabling it to reach the drinking temperature as soon as possible, shortening the user waiting time, and enhancing the user experience.

[0018] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, a support base is provided below the crushing cup. The motor is installed on the support base. An installation cavity for accommodating the pulp receiving cup is formed below the support base, and the fan is fixed on the support base.

[0019] By providing the support base, the support base realizes the support and installation of the crushing cup and the motor above it, and forms an installation cavity below the support base to realize the installation of the pulp receiving cup. At the same time, the support base realizes the support and installation of the fan. That is, the crushing cup, the motor, the pulp receiving cup and the fan are all installed and limited through the support base, making the overall structure compact and effectively improving the space utilization rate of the food processor.

[0020] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, the support base below the fan is provided with a ventilation part. An air outlet channel is formed in the ventilation part, and an air inlet connecting the fan and the air outlet channel is provided at the top of the ventilation part. An air outlet is formed on the cavity wall of the installation cavity.

[0021] By directly forming the air outlet channel in the ventilation part of the support base, no additional installation is required, reducing the installation difficulty and being beneficial to further improving the overall structural compactness. At the same time, it can avoid the deviation of the position of the air outlet channel, and thus is beneficial to realizing the stable transmission of the wind blown by the fan through the air outlet channel. And the air inlet is provided at the top of the ventilation part, and the air outlet is formed on the cavity wall of the installation cavity. Since the installation cavity is formed by the support base, when the fan is installed in place, the smooth connection between the air inlet, the air outlet channel and the air outlet can be realized, further reducing the installation difficulty and being beneficial to realizing a stable air outlet effect.

[0022] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, a fan bracket is also provided inside the casing. An air outlet channel is formed in the fan bracket. An installation opening is provided on the cavity wall of the installation cavity, and the fan bracket at the air outlet is fixed at the installation opening.

[0023] The fan bracket realizes the fixation of the fan inside the casing, and at the same time forms an air outlet channel through the fan bracket. This method has low processing difficulty, and can form an air outlet channel when the fan and the fan bracket are installed. And this method is convenient for overhauling and disassembling the fan, and its disassembly does not affect the operation of other components inside the casing. The fixation of the fan bracket is realized through the installation opening at the installation cavity, which is beneficial to ensuring the stable position of the fan bracket and at the same time beneficial to the relative position stability between the air outlet channel formed by the fan and the air outlet, so as to realize a stable air outlet effect.

[0024] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, a first sealing gasket is provided between the fan and the fan bracket; and / or,

[0025] A second sealing gasket is provided between the air outlet and the installation opening.

[0026] By setting a first sealing gasket between the fans, on the one hand, the fixed limit between the fan and the fan bracket can be strengthened, and on the other hand, the sealing effect between the fan and the fan bracket can be strengthened to avoid air leakage, thereby ensuring that the wind blown by the fan can enter the air outlet channel under high wind pressure, thereby achieving the dissipation of water vapor at the docking pulp cup.

[0027] By arranging a second sealing gasket between the air outlet and the mounting port, on the one hand, the fixing and limiting effect between the fan bracket and the mounting port is strengthened, making the structural coordination between the two more stable, and on the other hand, the sealing between the fan bracket and the mounting port is strengthened, thereby avoiding air leakage at the mounting port. At this time, the airflow is completely blown out through the air outlet, ensuring that the air in the air outlet channel is blown out from the air outlet, and is beneficial to strengthening the air outlet pressure of the air outlet, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and effect of blowing away water vapor.

[0028] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, the air outlet channel is provided with a reduced diameter section extending from the fan toward the air outlet and having a reduced inner diameter, and a straight section connecting the reduced diameter section and the air outlet.

[0029] The necking section is arranged on the side where the fan extends toward the air outlet, and the wind blown out by the fan gathers and flows to the necking section. On the one hand, it can achieve the guiding and gathering effect of the gas, and on the other hand, due to the reduction of the inner diameter of the necking section, the gas flows to the straight section through the necking section. When the same amount of gas passes through the necking section with a smaller diameter, its wind speed is accelerated and the pressure is increased. Then, the gas flow rate in the straight section is faster and the air pressure is greater. When the gas is blown out from the straight section through the air outlet, its pressure is greater, and the blowing force toward the side of the slurry receiving cup is strong, which has a better effect on dispersing water vapor, and is beneficial to improving the fan's blowing efficiency and blowing effect on water vapor, avoiding water vapor from rising to the operation panel, thereby avoiding fogging of the operation panel, and better improving the user operation experience.

[0030] In a preferred implementation of a food processor with good operating experience, the food processor also includes a cover plate covering the air outlet, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of air gathering ports, and the diameter of the air gathering ports is smaller than the diameter of the air outlet.

[0031] The air outlet is protected by setting a cover plate to prevent dirt from being generated at the air outlet. If the cover plate is set with an air gathering port with a diameter smaller than the air outlet, the pressure and wind speed of the air from the air outlet will increase when it is blown out through the air gathering port, so that the water vapor can be dispersed by a stronger wind force, which is beneficial to improving the effect of dispersing the water vapor.

Detailed implementation manners

[0041] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, the following will be described in detail by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0042] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application may be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in each embodiment may be combined with each other.

[0043] Such as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, the solution of this application provides a food processor with good operating experience, including a machine body with a casing 1, a crushing cup 2 provided in the casing 1 and having a crushing cavity, a crushing device provided in the crushing cavity, and a motor 12 drivingly connected to the crushing device. The crushing cup 2 is provided with a liquid discharge port, a slurry discharge nozzle 6 is provided at the liquid discharge port, a slurry receiving cup 7 is provided below the slurry discharge nozzle 6, an operation panel 5 is further provided outside the casing 1, the operation panel 5 is provided above the slurry receiving cup 7 and extends vertically, a fan 8 and an air outlet channel 10 communicating with the fan 8 are further provided in the casing 1, an air outlet 11 is provided at the end of the air outlet channel 10, and the air outlet 11 is exposed outside the casing 1 and faces the side of the slurry receiving cup 7.

[0044] In the solution of this application, the food processor is provided with a liquid discharge port and a slurry discharge nozzle 6, and at the same time a slurry receiving cup 7 is provided. After the slurry is processed, the slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup 7 through the liquid discharge port, without the user removing the crushing cup 2 to pour the slurry, reducing the user's burden of use. In addition, since the temperature of the processed slurry is relatively high, this method can avoid the user being scalded when taking the slurry, which is beneficial to further improving the user's experience of use.

[0045] In this solution, an operation panel 5 is provided outside the casing 1, and the operation panel 5 extends vertically above the slurry receiving cup 7. A fan 8 and an air outlet channel 10 are provided in the casing 1. The air blown by the fan 8 flows along the air outlet channel 10 to the air outlet 11 and blows towards the slurry receiving cup 7 through the air outlet 11. Since the temperature of the processed slurry is relatively high, water vapor will rise when the slurry is discharged from the slurry discharge nozzle 6 to the slurry receiving cup 7, and at the same time, water vapor will also rise in the slurry in the slurry receiving cup 7. The air outlet 11 faces the slurry receiving cup 7. When the air blows out, it changes the flow direction of the water vapor rising on one side of the slurry receiving cup 7, preventing the water vapor from directly rising from the slurry receiving cup 7 to the operation panel 5 located above the slurry receiving cup 7, thereby preventing water vapor from accumulating at the operation panel 5 and preventing the operation panel 5 from fogging and affecting the user's operation, improving the user's operation experience. At the same time, it can prevent a large amount of condensed water from appearing on the operation panel 5 and seeping into the panel, which is beneficial to protecting the electronic components inside the operation panel 5, keeping the operation accurate and sensitive, and helping to extend its service life, further improving the user's operation experience. And the air blown by the fan 8 blows towards one side of the slurry receiving cup 7, which is beneficial to cooling the liquid in the slurry receiving cup 7, so that the high-temperature slurry can be cooled to a suitable drinking temperature as soon as possible, shortening the user's waiting time and further improving the user's feeling of use.

[0046] In addition, the operation panel 5 is provided on the outside of the casing 1 above the slurry receiving cup 7. Compared with the method of setting the operation panel 5 on the top of the food processor, on the one hand, the outside area of the casing 1 is relatively large. The vertically extending operation panel 5 can meet the setting of multiple functions and multiple buttons, and can also increase the button size or set a larger gap between the buttons, which is convenient for the user to operate and reduces misoperation, further improving the user's operation experience.

[0047] It should be noted that the installation position of the air outlet 11 can be various. For specific examples, please refer to the following embodiments:

[0048] As Figure 6 shown, Embodiment 1: The projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane at least partially falls between the slurry receiving cup 7 and the operation panel 5.

[0049] By restricting the installation range of the air outlet 11, when the air blown by the fan 8 is blown out from the air outlet 11, it can directly blow between the slurry receiving cup 7 and the operation panel 5. Thus, the water vapor rising in the slurry receiving cup 7 is driven by the air flow to change the direction of the water vapor before reaching the operation panel 5, further preventing the water vapor from rising to the operation panel 5, realizing the direct and rapid blowing away of the water vapor, and improving the efficiency of the fan 8.

[0050] In addition, since the slurry discharge nozzle 6 is located above the slurry receiving cup 7, that is, the slurry discharge nozzle 6 is located between the operation panel 5 and the slurry receiving cup 7. When the projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane at least partially falls between the slurry receiving cup 7 and the operation panel 5, the air blown out by the fan 8 can blow the water vapor generated during the slurry discharge process of the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the water vapor generated by the slurry in the slurry receiving cup 7 at the same time, changing the direction of the water vapor escaping, preventing the water vapor from escaping to the operation panel 5, thus avoiding fogging and condensate generation at the operation panel 5, and further improving the user operation experience.

[0051] Embodiment 2:

[0052] The slurry receiving cup 7 includes a cup mouth 71 located below the slurry discharge nozzle 6. The projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane at least partially falls on the cup mouth 71 and / or the slurry discharge nozzle 6.

[0053] When the projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane at least partially falls on the cup mouth 71 of the slurry receiving cup 7, the air blown out by the air outlet 11 directly blows towards the cup mouth 71, directly blowing away the water vapor generated by the slurry in the slurry receiving cup 7, preventing the water vapor from escaping upward from the cup mouth 71 to the operation panel 5, and facilitating the cooling of the slurry in the slurry receiving cup 7 to make the slurry reach the drinkable temperature as soon as possible;

[0054] Similarly, when the projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane at least partially falls on the slurry discharge nozzle 6, the air blown out by the air outlet 11 directly blows towards the slurry discharge nozzle 6, directly blowing away the water vapor that is likely to fall into the slurry receiving cup 7 during the process of the slurry discharge nozzle 6 discharging the slurry. Thus, the water vapor generated during the process of the slurry flowing from the slurry discharge nozzle 6 to the slurry receiving cup 7 is prevented from escaping upward to the operation panel 5, and it is beneficial to cool the slurry during the falling process to make it reach the drinking temperature as soon as possible, shortening the user waiting time and improving the user experience.

[0055] Preferably, the projection of the air outlet in the vertical plane at least partially falls into the cup mouth 71 and the slurry discharge nozzle 6. Then, the air outlet 11 is relatively large, enabling the air blown out by the fan 8 to directly blow towards the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the cup mouth 71, simultaneously dispersing the water vapor generated by the slurry discharged from the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the water vapor generated by the slurry in the receiving cup 7, preventing the water vapor from rising to the operation panel 5, thereby avoiding fogging of the operation panel 5 and being beneficial to improving the user operation experience.

[0056] In addition, if the projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane partially falls on the cup mouth 71 and / or the slurry discharge nozzle 6, the air outlet area of the air outlet 11 has a larger coverage range, enabling the dispersion of the water vapor generated in a larger range.

[0057] If the projection of the air outlet 11 in the vertical plane entirely falls on the cup mouth 71 and / or the slurry discharge nozzle 6, it is beneficial to specifically disperse the water vapor at the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the cup mouth 71.

[0058] Such as Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment, the housing 1 includes a shell and a base 4 fixed to the bottom of the shell. The base 4 is provided with a support portion 41 extending laterally outward for supporting the receiving cup 7. The top surface of the support portion 41 and the outer wall of the shell enclose an installation cavity 42. The slurry discharge nozzle 6 extends from the top wall of the installation cavity 42, and the air outlet 11 is provided on the side wall of the installation cavity 42.

[0059] By extending the base 4 to form the support portion 41, and the support portion 41 and the shell enclose the installation cavity 42 for placing the receiving cup 7, the overall structural compactness is improved. The slurry discharge nozzle 6 extends from the top wall of the installation cavity 42 and is located above the receiving cup 7, facilitating the rapid discharge of the slurry into the receiving cup 7. The air outlet 11 is provided on the side wall of the installation cavity 42, and it is closer to the receiving cup 7 located in the installation cavity 42 and the slurry discharge nozzle 6 located on the top wall of the installation cavity 42, facilitating the air blown by the fan 8 to quickly blow from the air outlet 11 towards the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the receiving cup 7, realizing the rapid dispersion of the water vapor and preventing the water vapor from rising to the operation panel 5. At the same time, the slurry discharge nozzle 6, the receiving cup 7, and the air outlet 11 are integrated at the installation cavity 42, which is beneficial for the air blown by the fan 8 to maintain a relatively large air pressure when blowing from the air outlet 11 towards the slurry discharge nozzle 6 and the receiving cup 7, thereby realizing the effective dispersion of the water vapor.

[0060] In addition, since the side wall area of the installation cavity 42 is relatively large, the air outlet 11 can select a suitable installation position on the side wall of the installation cavity 42 according to the installation position of the fan 8 in the housing 1, facilitating the layout of the air outlet channel 10. And since the side wall of the installation cavity 42 surrounds the receiving cup 7, the air outlet 11 on the side wall of the installation cavity 42 can ensure that the air outlet 11 is always installed facing the receiving cup 7.

[0061] When the air outlet 11 is located on the side wall of the installation cavity 42, it can be vertically arranged in the vertical direction, making the air outlet direction straight, which is conducive to blowing air to the slurry receiving cup 7 and the slurry discharging nozzle 6 at the same time; it can also be inclined towards the direction of the slurry receiving cup 7, so that the air outlet 11 blows out obliquely downward, which is conducive to dispersing water vapor downward, thus effectively preventing water vapor from rising.

[0062] It should be noted that the air outlet 11 can also be arranged on the top wall of the installation cavity 42 to blow air downward to disperse the water vapor at the slurry receiving cup 7 arranged in the installation cavity 42; or the air outlet 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity 42 opposite to the extending direction of the slurry receiving cup 7, which is conducive to realizing circumferential blocking of the air outlet at the air outlet 11 through the side wall of the installation cavity 42, reducing the dissipation of the air outlet at the air outlet 11, and enabling the air outlet at the air outlet 11 to blow air concentratedly to the slurry receiving cup 7 and the slurry discharging nozzle 6, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of dispersing water vapor at the slurry receiving cup 7 and the slurry discharging nozzle 6.

[0063] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, a support seat 3 is provided below the crushing cup 2, the motor 12 is installed on the support seat 3, an installation cavity 42 for accommodating the slurry receiving cup 7 is formed below the support seat 3, and the fan 8 is fixed on the support seat 3.

[0064] By providing the support seat 3, the support seat 3 realizes the support and installation of the crushing cup 2 and the motor 12 above, the installation cavity 42 is formed below the support seat 3 to realize the installation of the slurry receiving cup 7, and at the same time the support seat 3 realizes the support and installation of the fan 8, that is, the crushing cup 2, the motor 12, the slurry receiving cup 7 and the fan 8 are all installed and limited through the support seat 3, making the overall structure compact and effectively improving the space utilization rate of the food processor.

[0065] It should be noted that there are various ways to fix the fan 8 on the support seat 3 in this embodiment. For specific reference, please refer to the following embodiments:

[0066] Embodiment 1:

[0067] The support seat 3 below the fan 8 is provided with a ventilation part, an air outlet passage 10 is formed in the ventilation part, and an air inlet connecting the fan 8 and the air outlet passage 10 is provided at the top of the ventilation part, and an air outlet 11 is formed on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 42.

[0068] By directly forming the air outlet channel 10 in the ventilation part of the support base 3, no additional installation is required, which reduces the installation difficulty and is beneficial to further improving the overall structural compactness. At the same time, it can avoid the position deviation of the air outlet channel 10, which is conducive to realizing the stable transmission of the air blown by the fan 8 through the air outlet channel 10. And the air inlet is arranged at the top of the ventilation part, and the air outlet 11 is formed on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 42. Since the installation cavity 42 is formed by the support base 3, when the fan 8 is installed in place, the smooth connection between the air inlet, the air outlet channel 10 and the air outlet 11 can be realized, further reducing the installation difficulty and being beneficial to realizing a stable air outlet effect.

[0069] Embodiment 2: As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, a fan bracket 9 is further provided in the casing 1. An air outlet channel 10 is formed in the fan bracket 9. An installation opening 421 is provided on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 42. The fan bracket 9 at the air outlet 11 is fixed at the installation opening 421.

[0070] The fan 8 is fixed in the casing 1 through the fan bracket 9, and at the same time, the air outlet channel 10 is formed through the fan bracket 9. This method has low processing difficulty, and the air outlet channel 10 can be formed when the fan 8 and the fan bracket 9 are installed. This method is convenient for overhauling and disassembling the fan 8, and does not affect the operation of other components in the casing 1 after its disassembly. The fixing of the fan bracket 9 is realized through the cooperation of the installation opening 421 at the installation cavity 42, which is beneficial to ensuring the stable position of the fan bracket 9 and at the same time beneficial to the relative position stability of the air outlet channel 10 formed between the fans 8 and the air outlet 11 to achieve a stable air outlet effect.

[0071] Further, as Figure 3 shown, a first sealing gasket 13 is provided between the fan 8 and the fan bracket 9; and / or, a second sealing gasket 14 is provided between the air outlet 11 and the installation opening 421.

[0072] By providing the first sealing gasket 13 between the fan 8 and the fan 8, on the one hand, it can strengthen the fixed limit between the fan 8 and the fan bracket 9, and on the other hand, it can strengthen the sealing effect between the fan 8 and the fan bracket 9 to avoid air leakage, so as to ensure that the air blown by the fan 8 can enter the air outlet channel 10 under a relatively large air pressure, and then realize the blowing of the water vapor at the butting slurry cup 7.

[0073] By providing a second gasket 14 between the air outlet 11 and the mounting opening 421, on the one hand, the fixing and limiting effect between the fan bracket 9 and the mounting opening 421 is strengthened, making the structural cooperation between the two more stable. On the other hand, the sealing between the fan bracket 9 and the mounting opening 421 is strengthened, thereby avoiding air leakage at the mounting opening 421, enabling all the air flow to be blown out through the air outlet 11, ensuring that the air in the air outlet passage 10 is blown out through the air outlet 11, and being beneficial to strengthening the air pressure at the air outlet 11, which is conducive to improving the blowing efficiency and blowing effect on the water vapor.

[0074] Preferably, the first gasket 13 and the second gasket 14 are provided simultaneously to enhance the overall sealing performance during the air outlet process of the fan 8.

[0075] As a fixing method under Embodiment 2: The support base 3 is provided with a fixing post 31, and the mounting opening 421 is provided with an alignment groove 422. After attaching the second gasket 14 to the fan bracket 9 and aligning the second gasket 14 with the alignment groove 422 on the base 4 of the motor 12, the fan bracket 9 is locked onto the fixing post 31 for fixation.

[0076] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the air outlet passage 10 is provided with a reduced-diameter section 101 that extends from the fan 8 towards the air outlet 11 and has a reduced inner diameter, and a straight section 102 that connects the reduced-diameter section 101 and the air outlet 11.

[0077] The reduced-diameter section 101 is arranged on the side where the fan 8 extends towards the air outlet 11. The air blown out by the fan 8 gathers and flows to the reduced-diameter section 101. On the one hand, it can achieve the effect of guiding and gathering the gas. On the other hand, due to the reduction of the inner diameter of the reduced-diameter section 101, when the gas flows through the reduced-diameter section 101 to the straight section 102, the wind speed of the equal amount of gas increases when passing through the reduced-diameter section 101 with a smaller diameter, and the pressure increases. Then, the gas flow rate in the straight section 102 is relatively fast and the air pressure is relatively high. When the gas is blown out from the straight section 102 through the air outlet 11, its pressure is relatively high, and the blowing force towards the slurry receiving cup 7 side is strong, and the blowing effect on the water vapor is better, which is conducive to improving the blowing efficiency and blowing effect of the fan 8 on the water vapor, avoiding the water vapor from rising to the operation panel 5, thereby preventing the operation panel 5 from fogging, and better improving the user operation experience.

[0078] In one embodiment, the food processor further includes a cover plate 15 covering the air outlet 11. The cover plate 15 is provided with a plurality of air gathering openings 16, and the diameter of the air gathering openings 16 is smaller than the diameter of the air outlet 11.

[0079] By providing the cover plate 15 to protect the air outlet 11, it is possible to prevent dirt from accumulating at the air outlet 11. The cover plate 15 is provided with a converging air outlet 16 having a diameter smaller than that of the air outlet 11. When the air from the air outlet 11 is blown out through the converging air outlet 16, the pressure increases and the wind speed increases, enabling the water vapor to be dispersed by a stronger wind force, which is beneficial to improving the effect of dispersing the water vapor.

[0080] In addition, the converging air outlet 16 and the cover plate 15 can be integrally formed, reducing the installation steps and ensuring the stability of the converging air outlet 16, thus preventing the converging air outlet 16 from becoming loose during use when the wind force is strong.

[0081] The converging air outlet 16 and the cover plate 15 can also be separately formed, which is beneficial to reducing the processing difficulty. After long-term use, the converging air outlet 16 can be separately cleaned or replaced to ensure a good air outlet effect, and the replacement cost is low.

[0082] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the fan 8 is a centrifugal fan, and the base 4 is provided with an air inlet area 43 for sucking air. During use, the air volume absorbed by the motor 12, the centrifugal fan, and other moving components in the food processor is obtained through the air inlet area 43; the air flow enters the centrifugal fan along both sides of the support base 3 and then is blown out by the centrifugal fan into the air outlet passage 10.
