[0036] Example:

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a food processor, which includes a machine base 100, a cooking cup assembly disposed on the machine base 100, and a refrigeration assembly 300. The cooking cup assembly includes a cup body 200 and an insulation layer 210 disposed on the outer wall of the cup body 200. The insulation layer is provided with a receiving groove 211, which is located at the bottom of the cup body 200. The outer wall of the cup body includes a side wall and a bottom wall. The refrigeration assembly 300 is disposed in the receiving groove 211, and the surface of the cold end is in contact with the bottom wall of the cup body 200, and the heat dissipation end of the refrigeration assembly is exposed.

[0038] This food processor utilizes a combination of an insulation layer 210 and a refrigeration assembly 300. The insulation layer 210 effectively isolates external heat sources and maintains the temperature of the food, while the refrigeration assembly 300 provides additional cooling when needed to ensure the temperature of the food remains stable during processing. The design of the cold end surface of the refrigeration assembly 300 fitting closely with the bottom wall of the cup body 200 enhances contact between the refrigeration assembly 300 and the cup body 200, improving refrigeration efficiency. The insulation layer 210 is provided with a receiving groove 211, which allows the refrigeration assembly 300 to fit tightly against the bottom wall of the cup body 200, reducing the gap between the insulation layer 210 and the refrigeration assembly 300 and improving heat transfer efficiency. By placing the refrigeration assembly 300 within the receiving groove 211 of the insulation layer 210, it is ensured to be effectively protected during use and avoids interference with other components, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the refrigeration assembly 300. These improvements enable the food processor to more efficiently control the temperature when processing food, thereby improving the quality of cooking and user experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order to ensure a better cooling effect, the temperature control of the food is more precise. The refrigeration component 300 includes a refrigeration fin 310 and a heat sink 320. The refrigeration fin 310 has a relative cold end surface and a hot end surface, wherein the cold end surface is formed as the cold end surface of the refrigeration component 300, one side of the heat sink 320 is attached to the hot end surface of the refrigeration fin 310, and the other side of the heat sink 320 is provided with a plurality of interlaced fins 321. The heat sink 320 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cup body 200 by fasteners. The cold end of the refrigeration fin 310 is in close contact with the bottom wall of the cup body 200, which enhances the cooling effect; one side of the heat sink 320 is in contact with the hot end of the refrigeration fin 310, and the fins 321 provided on the other side effectively increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to solve the problem of heat leakage that may exist between the heat sink 320 and the cup body 200, the insulation layer 210 fills the gap between the heat sink 320 and the bottom wall of the cup body 200 in the receiving groove 211 area, that is, the heat sink and the bottom wall of the cup body are respectively attached to the two opposite notches of the receiving groove to seal the refrigeration plate in the receiving groove, thereby improving the overall temperature control effect and ensuring the effectiveness of the cooling and insulation functions.

[0041] In some embodiments, the problem of poor heat dissipation of the refrigeration component 300 of the existing food processing machine is solved, and the refrigeration efficiency is avoided from being reduced due to the high temperature of the hot end. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cooling assembly 300 further includes a cooling fan 330. The cooling fan 330 and the cooling fins 310 are located on two opposing surfaces of the heat sink 320. One end of the air duct formed between the fins 321 extends toward the cooling fan 330. This design improves the stability and efficiency of the entire cooling system.

[0042] In some embodiments, the problem that the heat dissipation components in existing food processors are easily contaminated or damaged by the outside world is solved, the long-term effective operation of the heat dissipation system is ensured, and the heat dissipation effect is further improved by optimizing the air flow path. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration assembly 300 also includes a heat dissipation cover 340, which is provided with an air inlet 341 and an air outlet 342. The heat dissipation cover 340 houses the fins 321 and the cooling fan 330, with the air inlet 341 aligning with the air inlet side of the cooling fan 330. The other end of the air duct formed between the fins 321 extends to the air outlet 342. The heat dissipation cover 340 provides protection for the cooling fan 330 and the fins 321. The air inlet 341 and the air outlet 342 are designed to form a reasonable airflow path, enhancing the heat dissipation effect while preventing external impurities from entering and affecting the operation of the heat dissipation assembly.

[0043] In some embodiments, the problem of unreasonable space utilization, overly large structure or improper arrangement of refrigeration component 300 in existing food processors is solved. Figure 3As shown, the base 100 includes a housing, which is provided with an opening adapted to fit the outer diameter of the cup body 200. The mouth of the cup body 200 is exposed through the opening. A gap is formed between the bottom wall of the cup body 200 and the bottom wall of the housing, and the refrigeration assembly 300 is disposed within this gap. By designing the refrigeration assembly 300 to be disposed within the gap between the base 100 and the bottom wall of the cup body 200, space within the device is saved, the structure is more compact, and the space within the base 100 is effectively utilized, optimizing the overall design of the device. In this embodiment, the housing includes a main body and a bottom cover. The opening is provided in the main body, and the bottom cover is arranged opposite the cover opening and connected to the main body, forming the bottom wall of the housing. The gap formed between the bottom wall of the cup body 200 and the bottom cover makes the overall design of the food processor more compact and aesthetically pleasing while ensuring the effective operation of the refrigeration assembly 300.

[0044] In some embodiments, in order to improve ventilation, enhance the heat dissipation performance of the refrigeration assembly 300, and improve the overall reliability and service life of the device. Figure 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the housing is provided with a first vent 110, which communicates with the air inlet 341 of the refrigeration assembly 300. The side wall of the housing is provided with a second vent 120, which communicates with the air outlet 342 of the refrigeration assembly 300. The communication between the first vent 110 on the bottom wall of the housing and the air outlet 342 of the refrigeration assembly 300, and the communication between the second vent 120 on the side wall and the air inlet 341 of the refrigeration assembly 300, form an effective air circulation system, further improving the heat dissipation effect and ensuring the efficient operation of the refrigeration system.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to improve the function of the food processor, the food processor further includes a heating element 400 disposed on the bottom wall of the cup body 200. Figure 8 As shown, the heating element 400 semi-surrounds one end of the refrigeration assembly 300, and the air outlet 342 at the other end of the refrigeration assembly 300 extends out of the heating element 400. Specifically, the heating element 400 includes an electric heating tube that surrounds the edge of the bottom wall of the cup body 200, with a gap left between the beginning and the end of the electric heating tube. The cooling fin 310 at one end of the refrigeration assembly 300 is positioned near the center, and the air outlet 342 at the other end of the refrigeration assembly 300 extends outward from the gap and reaches the second vent 120 on the side wall of the shell.

[0046] For food processors with both a heating element and a cooling assembly located on the bottom wall of the cup body, the insulation layer 210 is cylindrical and surrounds the outer wall of the cup body 200. A gap is provided between the heating element and the cooling fins of the cooling assembly to prevent the heating element from interfering with the cooling fins during operation. If the cup body is small in diameter and the bottom wall space is insufficient, a heat shield can be placed between the heating element and the cooling fins of the cooling assembly.

[0047] In some alternative embodiments, the heating element can also be set outside the side wall of the cup body and close to the bottom wall of the cup bottom. The heating element surrounds the side wall of the cup body, and the cooling plate of the refrigeration assembly can be set in the center of the bottom wall of the cup body, and a larger area can be used to improve the cooling effect by increasing the contact area with the bottom wall.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the cooking cup assembly also includes a cup cover 500, and the cup cover 500 covers the cup opening of the cup body 200. The food processor also includes a stirring assembly 600. The stirring assembly 600 is arranged on the covering surface of the cup cover 500 facing the cup opening, and the outer side of the cup cover 500 is provided with a first plug-in portion 510 extending outward. When the cup cover 500 and the cup opening are in the covering state, the stirring assembly 600 extends into the interior of the cup opening, 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 tool and a drive motor, and the drive motor is electrically connected through the cable connector in the first plug-in portion 510 and the second plug-in portion 130.

[0049] In some embodiments, the insulation layer 210 is a coating or insulation foam. The cup body 200 is made of an alloy. The choice of material for the insulation layer 210 (coating or insulation foam) and the cup body 200 (alloy) provides the cooking cup assembly with excellent thermal insulation and mechanical strength, adapting to different usage environments and requirements.

[0050] In some embodiments, the cup body 200 is made of one of aluminum alloy and stainless steel. Metal has excellent thermal conductivity and can improve the cooling effect.

[0051] 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 .

[0052] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments.
