[0035] Embodiment:
[0036] Such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, a food processor is shown. The food processor includes a base 100 and a cooking cup assembly disposed on the base 100. The cooking cup assembly includes a cup body 200 and a heat preservation layer 210 disposed on the outer wall of the cup body. The heat preservation layer 210 wraps around the outer wall of the cup body 200 and is used to keep the cup body warm. The food processor further includes a refrigeration assembly 300. The outer wall of the cup body includes a side wall and a bottom wall, and a heat conducting surface 121 is formed outside the side wall of the cup body. A receiving groove 211 is formed in the heat preservation layer. The receiving groove 211 is located outside the side wall of the cup body 200 and corresponds to the heat conducting surface 121. The refrigeration assembly is disposed at the receiving groove 211, and the surface of the cold end thereof is in contact with the heat conducting surface 121 of the cup body, and the heat dissipation end of the refrigeration assembly is exposed. The heat conducting surface 121 of the cup body can be cooled by the refrigeration assembly, so as to realize the preparation of cold drinks.
[0037] This food processor adopts the combination of the heat preservation layer 210 and the refrigeration assembly 300. The heat preservation layer 210 can effectively block external heat sources and maintain the temperature stability of the ingredients, while the refrigeration assembly 300 provides additional cooling when necessary to ensure that the temperature of the ingredients remains constant during the processing. The cold end surface of the refrigeration assembly 300 is directly and tightly attached to the side wall of the cup body 200 instead of the bottom wall of the cup body. This design not only enhances the contact between the refrigeration assembly and the cup body, improves the refrigeration effect, but also reduces the occupation of the space at the bottom of the cup body, reduces the height of the whole machine, and reduces the risk of tipping, thereby improving safety. In addition, the heat preservation layer 210 is provided with a receiving groove 211, so that the refrigeration assembly 300 can be more closely attached to the side wall of the cup body 200, reducing the gap between the two and improving the heat transfer efficiency. Placing the refrigeration assembly 300 in the receiving groove 211 of the heat preservation layer 210 ensures that it is effectively protected during use and avoids interference with other components, thus improving the reliability and service life of the refrigeration assembly. These optimization measures enable the food processor to more efficiently control the temperature when processing ingredients, thereby improving the cooking quality and user experience.
[0038] In some embodiments, to ensure better cooling effect and more precise temperature control of the ingredients. The refrigeration assembly 300 includes a refrigeration chip 310 and a heat dissipation plate 320. The refrigeration chip 310 has opposite cold end surface and hot end surface, wherein the cold end surface is formed as the cold end surface of the refrigeration assembly 300. One side of the heat dissipation plate 320 is attached to the hot end surface of the refrigeration chip 310, and several spaced fins 321 are provided on the other side of the heat dissipation plate 320. The several fins are integrally connected to the heat dissipation plate. The heat dissipation plate 320 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cup body 200 through fasteners. The cold end of the refrigeration chip 310 is closely attached to the side wall of the cup body 200, enhancing the refrigeration effect; one side of the heat dissipation plate 320 is attached to the hot end of the refrigeration chip 310, and the several fins 321 provided on the other side effectively increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0039] Further, a plurality of fins extend in the vertical direction, so that the air ducts formed between the fins can respectively communicate with the upper and lower side spaces of the refrigeration assembly.
[0040] In some embodiments, to solve the problem of poor heat dissipation of the existing refrigeration assembly 300 of the food processor and avoid the situation where the refrigeration efficiency is reduced due to too high a hot-end temperature. For example Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the refrigeration assembly further includes a cooling fan 330. The cooling fan 330 and the heat dissipation plate are respectively located on opposite sides of the fins. One side of a plurality of fins is integrally connected to the heat dissipation plate. A corresponding air duct is formed between the cooling fan 330 and the heat dissipation plate by a plurality of the fins. The other side of the cooling fan 330 connected to the fins and the air inlet side of the cooling fan 330 communicate with the air duct. With such a design, the stability and efficiency of the entire refrigeration system are improved.
[0041] In some embodiments, at least one of the fins is provided with a bifurcated groove 322 on the side away from the heat dissipation plate. The cooling fan 330 is fixedly connected to the fin through a threaded fastener disposed in the bifurcated groove 322. For example, the threaded fastener may be a screw, and the width of the bifurcated groove matches the diameter of the screw, so that when the screw is screwed into the deep part of the bifurcated groove, the thread can squeeze the groove wall of the bifurcated groove, thereby forming a corresponding thread and having an interference fit with the groove wall.
[0042] In some embodiments, the base includes a housing, and an opening adapted to the outer diameter of the cup body is provided on the housing, and the cup mouth of the cup body is exposed from the opening. There is a gap space between the side wall of the cup body and the side wall of the housing, and the refrigeration assembly is disposed in this gap space. The side wall of the cup body is provided with a first ventilation opening 110, and the air outlet side of the fan communicates with the first ventilation opening 110. For example Figure 3 The first ventilation opening 110 of a meshed structure.
[0043] In some embodiments, the cup body is made of an alloy. A base 120 protruding from its surface is provided on the side wall of the cup body, and the heat conducting surface 121 is provided on the base 120. During the production and manufacturing process, the base 120 and the mounting plane located on the base 120 can be formed by die casting. Since the base 120 protrudes from the side wall surface of the cylindrical shape by a certain thickness, screw holes can be provided around the base 120 for installing the heat dissipation plate through threaded fasteners.
[0044] In some embodiments, in the circumferential direction of the cup body, its side wall includes a plurality of connected planes, and one of the planes forms the heat conducting surface 121. For example Figure 8As shown, an embodiment is shown in which the side wall cross-section of the cup body is hexagonal, that is, the side wall of the cup body is formed by connecting six rectangular (or isosceles trapezoidal) planes. One of the planes is selected as the heat-conducting surface 121 for installing the refrigeration component.
[0045] In some preferred embodiments, to solve the possible heat leakage problem between the heat dissipation plate 320 and the cup body 200, the heat insulation layer 210 fills the gap between the heat dissipation plate 320 and the heat-conducting surface 121 in the area of the receiving groove 211, thereby improving the overall temperature control effect and ensuring the effectiveness of the refrigeration and heat insulation functions.
[0046] In some embodiments, to improve the functions of the food processor, the food processor further includes a heating element 400 provided on the bottom wall of the cup body 200. As Figure 7 shown, the heating element 400 includes an electric heating tube that surrounds the edge of the bottom wall of the cup body 200.
[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cooking cup assembly further includes a cup lid 500 that covers the cup mouth of the cup body 200. The food processor further includes a stirring assembly 600. The stirring assembly 600 is provided on the covering surface of the cup lid 500 facing the cup mouth, and a first plug-in portion 510 extends outward from the outside of the cup lid 500. When the cup lid 500 and the cup mouth are in a closed state, the stirring assembly 600 extends into the interior of the cup mouth, and the first plug-in portion 510 is plugged into the second plug-in portion 130 located on the machine base 100. The stirring assembly 600 includes a stirring cutter and a driving motor, and the driving motor is electrically connected through a cable connector in the first plug-in portion 510 and the second plug-in portion 130.
[0048] In some embodiments, the heat insulation layer 210 is one of a coating and heat insulation cotton. The cup body 200 is made of an alloy material. The selection of the material of the heat insulation layer 210 (coating or heat insulation cotton) and the selection of the material of the cup body 200 (alloy material) provide good heat insulation and mechanical strength for the cooking cup assembly, adapting to different usage environments and requirements.
[0049] In some embodiments, the cup body 200 is one of aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Metals have excellent thermal conductivity, which can improve the refrigeration effect.
[0050] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the cup body 200 is coated with an inner coating, such as a ceramic coating, which can protect the inner wall of the cup body 200.
[0051] The above are only the specific implementation manners of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manners. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
