Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing, in particular to a food processing machine cup body and a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] With rising living standards, food processors with heating and pulverizing functions are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. These processors use a brushless motor to drive the blades, pulverizing ingredients. These processors integrate the brushless motor with the food container, with the motor output shaft directly connected to the blades. These processors offer advantages such as a simple, reliable transmission structure and low noise levels.

[0003] In existing food processors, the brushless motor is integrated with the cup body that holds the food ingredients to form a cup body assembly; the circuit board responsible for controlling the brushless motor is set in the main body used to support the cup body assembly. The two are connected in circuit through a coupler. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202322295197.3 discloses a convenient food processor, which includes a main unit and a crushing cup with a built-in stirring element, a base connected to the bottom of the crushing cup and detachably provided on the main unit, a control module and a lower coupler electrically connected to the control module are provided in the main unit, and the base is also provided with an upper coupler electrically connected to the brushless motor and the heating plate and can be coupled to the lower coupler.

[0004] For another example, Chinese utility model patent application number 201420372310.1 discloses a food processing machine, including a machine head, a cup body and a grinding motor assembly. The machine head is buckled on the cup body, and a control panel is provided in the machine head. The grinding motor assembly includes a grinding motor and a motor coupler. The grinding motor and the motor coupler are electrically connected. The motor coupler is fixed to the rear end of the grinding motor assembly. The rear end of the grinding motor assembly is detachably connected to the bottom of the machine head. The machine head has a machine head coupler electrically coupled to the motor coupler, and the machine head coupler is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0005] However, in the food processors provided in the prior art, an independent support structure is usually provided, and the coupler is fixed on the support structure to achieve the installation of the coupler. This setting method causes the coupler to occupy a larger internal space, which correspondingly increases the overall volume of the food processor. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a food processing machine cup body and a food processing machine. Under the premise that a brushless motor is arranged in the cup seat, the problems that the cup seat occupies a large space in height and radial direction, the wiring in the cup seat is complicated and prone to poor contact and even water infiltration and rust, resulting in the welding points at the connection falling off and the machine unable to work normally are solved.

[0007] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a food processing machine cup body, comprising: a main body, a brushless motor assembly and a coupler assembly arranged inside the main body; the brushless motor assembly comprises a brushless motor housing and a brushless motor arranged inside the brushless motor housing; the coupler assembly comprises a coupler housing and an upper coupler arranged inside the coupler housing; the coupler housing is fixedly arranged on the brushless motor housing, and the upper coupler is electrically connected to the brushless motor.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, in the food processing machine cup body provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the coupler housing of the coupler is fixedly set on the brushless motor housing of the brushless motor, and the coupler is directly supported by the brushless motor housing, so that there is no need to set a separate support structure for the coupler. By omitting the support structure set separately for the coupler, the internal space occupied by the coupler can be reduced. The reduction in the internal space occupied by the coupler can make it easier to carry out the miniaturization design of the food processing machine cup body and the food processing machine as a whole; at the same time, since the brushless motor assembly and the coupler assembly are close to each other, there is no need to set up complicated wiring to connect the brushless motor assembly and the coupler assembly, which can simplify the wiring inside the cup body, reduce the occurrence of poor contact or even water ingress and rust, which may cause the solder joints at the wiring to fall off and the machine to fail to work normally.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the brushless motor assembly includes a brushless motor pin passing through the brushless motor housing and arranged on the outer surface of the brushless motor housing, and the brushless motor pin is connected to the brushless motor; the coupler assembly includes a coupler pin passing through the coupler housing and arranged on the outer surface of the coupler housing, and the coupler pin is electrically connected to the brushless motor pin.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the brushless motor housing includes a brushless motor housing bottom plate and brushless motor housing side plates that surround and form a first receiving space, with the brushless motor disposed within the first receiving space; the coupler housing includes a coupler housing top plate and coupler housing side plates that surround and form a second receiving space, with the upper coupler disposed within the second receiving space; the coupler housing top plate is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing bottom plate. Fixedly mounting the coupler housing top plate on the brushless motor housing bottom plate establishes a vertical connection between the brushless motor and the coupler, thereby reducing the width of the food processor cup in the width direction.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the brushless motor pins are disposed on the bottom plate of the brushless motor housing, and the coupler pins are disposed on the top plate of the coupler housing, with the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins being in contact and connected to each other. Directly connecting the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins to each other eliminates the need for additional connecting mechanisms such as wires to connect the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins, further simplifying the structure of the food processor cup.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the brushless motor housing includes a brushless motor housing bottom plate and brushless motor housing side plates that surround and form a first receiving space, with the brushless motor disposed within the first receiving space. The coupler housing includes a coupler housing top plate and coupler housing side plates that surround and form a second receiving space, with the upper coupler disposed within the second receiving space. The coupler housing side plates are fixedly attached to the brushless motor housing side plates. Fixedly attaching the coupler housing side plates to the brushless motor housing side plates establishes a left-right connection between the brushless motor and the coupler, thereby reducing the height of the food processor cup.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the brushless motor pins are disposed on a side panel of the brushless motor housing, and the coupler pins are disposed on the side panel of the coupler housing, with the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins being in contact and connected to each other. Directly connecting the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins to each other eliminates the need for additional connecting mechanisms such as wires to connect the coupler pins and the brushless motor pins, further simplifying the structure of the food processor cup.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the upper coupler includes a plurality of metal pins disposed on the coupler housing, and the plurality of metal pins are connected to the coupler pins.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the coupler housing is detachably arranged on the brushless motor housing. Disposing the coupler housing detachably on the brushless motor housing can make it easier to repair and replace the coupler or the brushless motor.

[0017] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a food processor, comprising: a machine body and a food processor cup body that is detachably arranged on the machine body, as described above; the machine body comprises a brushless motor control circuit board and a lower coupler connected to the brushless motor control circuit board, and when the food processor cup body is arranged on the machine body, the lower coupler is cooperatively connected with the coupler of the food processor cup body.

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0028] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0030] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a food processing machine cup and a food processing machine, wherein the food processing machine cup can be a part of the food processing machine, and the food processing machine cup cooperates with other parts of the food processing machine to realize the function of automatic food processing. Figure 1 As shown, the food processor provided by the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include: a machine body 10 and a food processor cup body 20 provided on the machine body 10. The food processor cup body 20 is the food processor cup body provided by some other embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] The body 10 includes a brushless motor control circuit board (specifically, a chip set at any position on the body 10, Figure 1 The food processor cup 20 includes a main body 21, a brushless motor assembly 22 disposed on the main body 21, and a coupler assembly 23 disposed on the main body 21. Figure 3 As shown, the brushless motor assembly 22 includes a brushless motor housing 221 and a brushless motor 222 disposed inside the brushless motor housing 221; the coupler assembly 23 includes a coupler housing 231 and an upper coupler 232 disposed inside the coupler housing 231. The brushless motor 222 is electrically connected to the upper coupler 232, and the coupler housing 231 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing 221.

[0032] Specifically, when the food processor cup 20 is mounted on the food processor body 10, the lower coupler 11 and the upper coupler 232 are coupled to each other. When the food processor cup 20 is removed from the food processor body 10, the lower coupler 11 and the upper coupler 232 are separated from each other. In this embodiment of the present invention, the brushless motor 222 is electrically connected to the upper coupler 232. Thus, the brushless motor control circuit board is connected to the brushless motor 222 via the upper coupler 232 and the lower coupler 11, and the brushless motor control circuit board performs power supply and control operations on the brushless motor 222.

[0033] It can be understood that the upper coupler 232 and the lower coupler 11 are both couplers, one of which is set on the food processor cup body 20, and the other is set on the food processor body 10. In this application document, in order to distinguish the two, the coupler 11 set on the body 10 is referred to as the lower coupler, and the coupler 232 set on the food processor cup body 20 is referred to as the upper coupler. In actual application, the upper coupler and the lower coupler do not specifically refer to a certain type of coupler, nor do they specifically refer to the positional relationship between the two, but are only used to distinguish the setting positions.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, in the food processing machine cup body and food processing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the coupler housing 231 of the upper coupler 232 is fixedly set on the brushless motor housing 221 of the brushless motor 222, and the upper coupler 232 is directly supported by the brushless motor housing 221, so that there is no need to set a separate support structure for the upper coupler 232. By omitting the support structure set separately for the upper coupler 232, the internal space occupied by the upper coupler 232 can be reduced. The reduction in the internal space occupied by the upper coupler 232 can make it easier to carry out the miniaturization design of the food processing machine cup body and the food processing machine as a whole; at the same time, since the brushless motor assembly 22 and the coupler assembly 23 are close to each other, there is no need to set up complicated wiring to connect the brushless motor assembly 22 and the coupler assembly 23, which can simplify the wiring inside the cup body, reduce the occurrence of poor contact or even water ingress and rust causing the solder joints at the wiring to fall off and the machine to fail to work normally.

[0035] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the brushless motor assembly 22 may further include a brushless motor pin 223 connected to the brushless motor 222. The brushless motor pin 223 may specifically pass through the brushless motor housing 221 and be disposed on the outer surface of the brushless motor housing 221. That is, one end of the brushless motor pin 223 is connected to the brushless motor 222, and the other end passes through the brushless motor housing 221 and is disposed on the outer surface of the brushless motor housing 221.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the coupler assembly 23 may further include a coupler pin 233, which passes through the coupler housing 231 and is disposed on the outer surface of the coupler housing 231. Specifically, one end of the coupler pin 233 is disposed inside the coupler housing 231, and the other end is disposed outside the coupler housing 231, with the entire coupler pin 233 being disposed throughout the coupler housing 231. The coupler pin 233 is electrically connected to the brushless motor pin 223, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the upper coupler 232 and the brushless motor 222.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the upper coupler 232 may specifically include a plurality of metal pins 2321 disposed on the coupler housing 231, and the plurality of metal pins 2321 are connected to the coupler pins 233. In actual applications, the number of metal pins 2321 and coupler pins 233 may be the same, with each metal pin 2321 connected to a unique coupler pin 233 to achieve independent electrical signal transmission; alternatively, multiple metal pins 2321 may be connected to the same coupler pin 233, with a single coupler pin 233 achieving different electrical signal transmission for multiple metal pins 2321.

[0038] In different embodiments of the present invention, the coupler housing 231 may be fixedly disposed on the brushless motor housing 221 in different manners.

[0039] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the coupler housing 231 and the brushless motor housing 221 can be integrally formed, i.e., the coupler housing 231 and the brushless motor housing 221 are two different components of the same overall structure, but the two components are integrally formed. Integrating the coupler housing 231 and the brushless motor housing 221 can improve the stability of the connection between the coupler assembly 23 and the brushless motor assembly 22.

[0040] In other embodiments of the present invention, the coupler housing 231 may be detachably mounted on the brushless motor housing 221. For example, the coupler housing 231 may be fixed to the brushless motor housing 221 by means of screws, snaps, or other structures. After removing the screws, snaps, or other structures, the coupler housing 231 and the brushless motor housing 221 may be separated, thereby achieving detachable fixation of the coupler housing 231 and the brushless motor housing 221. By detachably mounting the coupler housing 231 on the brushless motor housing 221, the coupler assembly 23 or the brushless motor assembly 22 may be directly separated when the coupler assembly 23 or the brushless motor assembly 22 needs to be repaired or replaced, making repair and replacement of the coupler assembly 23 and the brushless motor assembly 22 more convenient.

[0041] In some other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the brushless motor housing 221 can specifically include a brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211 and a brushless motor housing side plate 2212. The brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211 and the brushless motor housing side plate 2212 together form a first receiving space. The coupler housing 231 includes a coupler housing top plate 2311 and a coupler housing side plate 2312. The coupler housing top plate 2311 and the coupler housing side plate 2312 together form a second receiving space. The coupler housing 231 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing 221, specifically, the coupler housing top plate 2311 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211. Fixing the coupler housing top plate 2311 on the brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211 establishes a vertical connection between the brushless motor assembly 22 and the coupler assembly 23, thereby reducing the width of the food processor cup in the width direction.

[0042] Corresponding to the above embodiment, the coupler housing 231 is fixedly arranged on the brushless motor housing 221, specifically, the coupler housing top plate 2311 is fixedly arranged on the brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211. Figure 5 As shown, the brushless motor pins 223 can be specifically disposed on the bottom plate 2211 of the brushless motor housing, while the coupler pins 233 can be disposed on the top plate 2311 of the coupler housing, thereby achieving mutual contact and connection between the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223. Directly connecting the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 to each other eliminates the need for additional connecting mechanisms such as wires to connect the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, further simplifying the structure of the food processor cup.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a closed accommodation space A can be provided between the coupler housing top plate 2311 and the brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211, and the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 are arranged in the accommodation space A, and the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 are arranged to contact and connect with each other. Placing the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 in the closed accommodation space A can provide a sealed protection for the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, reduce the possibility of environmental moisture falling on the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, slow down the corrosion of the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 by the environmental moisture, and reduce the risk of the environmental moisture causing a short circuit.

[0044] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the brushless motor housing 221 can also include a brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211 and a brushless motor housing side plate 2212. The brushless motor housing bottom plate 2211 and the brushless motor housing side plate 2212 together form a first receiving space. The coupler housing 231 can also include a coupler housing top plate 2311 and a coupler housing side plate 2312. The coupler housing top plate 2311 and the coupler housing side plate 2312 together form a second receiving space. The coupler housing 231 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing 221, specifically, the coupler housing side plate 2312 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing side plate 2212. The fixing of the coupler housing side plate 2312 to the brushless motor housing side plate 2212 establishes a transverse connection between the brushless motor assembly 22 and the coupler assembly 23, thereby reducing the height of the food processor cup.

[0045] Corresponding to the arrangement in the aforementioned embodiment in which the coupler housing 231 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing 221, specifically in which the coupler housing side plate 2312 is fixedly mounted on the brushless motor housing side plate 2212, the brushless motor pins 223 may be specifically mounted on the brushless motor housing side plate 2212, while the coupler pins 233 are also mounted on the coupler housing side plate 2312, thereby achieving mutual contact and connection between the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223. Directly connecting the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 to each other eliminates the need for additional connecting mechanisms such as wires to connect the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, further simplifying the structure of the food processor cup.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a closed accommodation space B can be provided between the coupler housing side plate 2312 and the brushless motor housing side plate 2212, and the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 are arranged in the accommodation space B, and the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 are arranged to contact and connect with each other. Placing the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 in the closed accommodation space B can also provide a sealed protection for the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, reducing the possibility of environmental moisture falling on the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223, slowing down the corrosion of the coupler pins 233 and the brushless motor pins 223 by the environmental moisture, and reducing the risk of the environmental moisture causing a short circuit.

[0047] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to them. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
