[0002] A blender is an essential kitchen appliance in modern families. According to different application scenarios, blenders are divided into various product types, such as blenders, wall breakers, soy milk makers, baby food makers, etc.

[0003] A blender generally consists of a base and a cup body. The blender drives the cutter in the cup body to rotate through the motor in the base to achieve the stirring function. To facilitate the taking and placing of food in the blender, the cup cover can generally be opened or closed by rotating a certain small angle, making the process of opening or closing the cup cover simple and fast.

[0004] The CE safety standards (EMC directive and LVD directive) require that household appliances (such as food processors, coffee makers, etc.) have a cup cover interlock safety mode. When the cup cover is not correctly placed or locked in position, the device will not start or operate to prevent injuries or equipment damage caused by improper operation. Therefore, necessary improvements need to be made to the blender according to the CE safety standards.
