Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the diversification of food processing machines, existing food processing machines can not only cook ingredients to make delicious dishes, but also have types of food processing machines for processing food raw materials, such as vegetable cutters and meat slicers, which can replace manual cutting of vegetables and meat, not only reducing safety risks but also improving cutting efficiency.

[0003] Existing vegetable cutters and meat cutters typically operate on separate machines due to their different operating principles. For example, a vegetable cutter typically features a rotatable drum that rotates to drive the blades on it, thereby cutting vegetables. In contrast, a meat cutter has a fixed blade holder, with only the rotating blades slicing the meat. For example, patents CN218947816U and CN218614312U both disclose vegetable cutters with a rotating drum, while patent CN218947817U discloses a meat cutter with a rotating blade assembly.

[0004] Furthermore, the above-mentioned vegetable cutter and meat cutter are both provided with a single feeding port and a single processing chamber. One machine can only realize a single function of cutting vegetables or cutting meat, which limits the use needs of users.

[0005] In order to meet the needs of users who use one machine to cut both vegetables and meat, multifunctional cutting and matching machines have appeared on the market. For example, patent CN115431324A discloses a cutting and matching machine that can cut both vegetables and meat. Users only need to purchase one machine to meet multiple processing needs, which is relatively low in cost. Furthermore, the cutting and matching machine is provided with multiple feeding ports corresponding to the vegetable cutting module and the meat cutting module respectively. The multiple feeding ports are integrated on the upper cover and are dispersedly arranged. On the one hand, the structural strength of the upper cover is reduced. During the operation of the cutting and matching machine, one motor drives the vegetable cutting knife assembly and the meat cutting knife assembly at the same time, which is prone to generate large vibrations. The vibrations are easily transmitted to the upper cover and cause structural resonance. On the other hand, the two processing components are operated at the same time to generate large noises, which are easily transmitted to the outside through multiple feeding ports, making the whole cutting and matching machine work noisy, seriously affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the technical problem of high working noise in the existing technology of the cutting and preparing machine that can cut vegetables and meat at the same time, the utility model provides a food processing machine. Under the premise of arranging dual feeding ports to realize separate feeding of different ingredients to avoid cross-flavoring, the dual feeding ports are connected by an isolation cavity, which can improve the strength of the structural parts where the dual feeding ports are located, so as to strengthen the force on the processing cavity, and reduce the probability of structural resonance caused by vibration transmission when the processing components are working. At the same time, the isolation cavity can be used for sound insulation and noise reduction, thereby improving the noise reduction performance of the food processing machine.

[0007] The utility model discloses a food processing machine, comprising a machine base and a processing chamber arranged on the machine base, the processing chamber comprising a first processing chamber and a second processing chamber, the food processing machine comprising a first processing knife assembly installed in the first processing chamber and a second processing knife assembly installed in the second processing chamber, a first feeding port is provided above the first processing chamber, a second feeding port is provided above the second processing chamber, and the first feeding port and the second feeding port are connected by an isolation chamber provided therebetween.

[0008] The food processing machine of the present invention also has the following additional technical features:

[0009] The isolation cavity is a closed cavity with a hollow interior and closed at both ends.

[0010] The second processing tool assembly includes a rolling cutter group and a reduction gear box for reducing the speed of the rolling cutter group. When the second processing tool assembly is installed in the second processing cavity, the central axis of the isolation cavity falls within the horizontal projection range of the reduction gear box.

[0011] The second processing knife assembly includes a knife holder and a rolling cutter group arranged in the knife holder, the outer wall of the knife holder is provided with a limiting rib, one side of the second processing cavity is provided with an opening, the inner wall of the second processing cavity is provided with a limiting groove, the second processing knife assembly is slidably installed in the second processing cavity through the opening and the limiting rib is plugged into the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting rib extends to the bottom of the isolation cavity.

[0012] An indication area is provided on the top surface of the isolation cavity. The indication area is provided with an identification mark indicating the type of food corresponding to the first feeding port and an identification mark indicating the type of food corresponding to the second feeding port.

[0013] When the horizontal projection of the second feeding port is coaxially arranged with the horizontal projection of the first feeding port, the horizontal projection of the second feeding port is located within the range of the horizontal projection of the first feeding port.

[0014] The first processing chamber and the second processing chamber are arranged in sequence in a direction away from the output end of the machine base. A trigger is provided on the side of the first processing chamber facing the output end of the machine base. A micro switch is provided in the machine base. The trigger is configured to turn on the micro switch when the processing chamber is installed on the machine base and the trigger is pressurized to a preset stroke.

[0015] The trigger member includes a convex cavity radially protruding relative to the side wall of the first processing cavity and an upper connecting rod arranged in the convex cavity. The upper connecting rod can move up and down along the bottom wall of the convex cavity to trigger the micro switch in the machine base when subjected to downward force.

[0016] The side wall of the first processing cavity is provided with an avoidance groove extending downward from the top of the first processing cavity and passing radially therethrough, and the avoidance groove is communicated with the top of the convex cavity. The food processor also includes a pushing piece, and the pushing piece includes a pushing rod for inserting into the first feeding port and a pushing rib protruding outward from one side of the pushing rod and extending vertically, and the pushing rib is arranged to pass horizontally through the avoidance groove and extend into the convex cavity to press down the upper connecting rod.

[0017] The machine base is L-shaped, and includes a machine body and a protrusion extending upward from one end of the machine body. The output end of the machine base is arranged on the protrusion and extends laterally. The first processing cavity is arranged on the machine body, and the second processing cavity protrudes laterally from the machine body. The bottom of the second processing cavity is provided with a discharge port and a material guide channel extending downward along the discharge port.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This food processor, with a single unit, can perform multiple processing functions, including chopping vegetables and meat. Furthermore, separate feeding ports, via the first and second processing chambers, prevent the mixing of different ingredients and the resulting odor transfer, ensuring excellent food quality and taste. The dual feeding ports are connected by an isolation chamber, which increases the strength of the structural components housing them, thereby strengthening the forces acting on the processing chambers and reducing the likelihood of structural resonance caused by vibration transmission during operation of the processing components. Furthermore, the isolation chamber provides sound insulation and noise reduction, enhancing the overall noise reduction performance of the food processor.

[0020] 2. As a preferred embodiment, the isolation cavity is a closed cavity with a hollow interior and closed ends. Using a hollow, closed cavity saves material and allows the cavity to form a noise-reducing chamber. When noise generated by the processing components is transmitted upward into the cavity, it helps attenuate the noise energy, thereby reducing the noise reaching the outside.

[0021] 3. As a preferred embodiment, the second machining cutter assembly includes a rolling cutter group and a reduction gearbox for reducing the speed of the rolling cutter group. When the second machining cutter assembly is installed in the second machining cavity, the central axis of the isolation cavity falls within the horizontal projection of the reduction gearbox. Since the output end of the machine base is connected to the rolling cutter group through the reduction gearbox to achieve the drive of the rolling cutter group, the reduction gearbox plays the role of an intermediate power transmission. The stability of the reduction gearbox is of vital importance. By positioning the isolation cavity at least partially above the reduction gearbox, on the one hand, the stability of the machining cavity in the axial position of the isolation cavity can be enhanced, thereby preventing the reduction gearbox from being unstable and affecting the transmission of the rolling cutter group. On the other hand, the isolation cavity can just receive the noise generated by the machining assembly and prevent the noise from being transmitted outward.

[0022] 4. As a preferred embodiment, the second processing knife assembly includes a knife holder and a rolling cutter group arranged in the knife holder, the outer wall of the knife holder is provided with a limiting rib, one side of the second processing cavity is provided with an opening, the inner wall of the second processing cavity is provided with a limiting groove, the second processing knife assembly is slidably installed in the second processing cavity through the opening, and the limiting rib is plugged into the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting rib extends to the bottom of the isolation cavity. In this embodiment, the second processing knife assembly and the second processing cavity limit the knife holder through the plug-in cooperation of the limiting rib and the limiting groove, so that the knife holder remains stable during the operation of the second processing knife assembly, and only the rolling cutter group rotates, which can improve the working stability of the second processing knife assembly; further, the existence of the isolation cavity can enhance the stability of the processing cavity in the axial position where the isolation cavity is located, that is, the enhanced stability of the second processing cavity below the isolation cavity is more conducive to the tight fit between the limiting rib and the limiting groove in this area, thereby improving the fixing effect of the knife holder, thereby improving the working stability of the rolling cutter group and avoiding the shaking of the knife holder and friction and increased noise.

[0023] 5. As a preferred embodiment, an indicator area is provided on the top surface of the isolation chamber. This indicator area includes labels indicating the type of food corresponding to the first feeding port and the second feeding port. Providing an indicator area on the top surface of the isolation chamber improves space utilization and prompts users to feed ingredients according to the food type labels, preventing incorrect feeding and improving food processing reliability.

[0024] 6. As a preferred embodiment, when the horizontal projection of the second feeding opening is coaxial with the horizontal projection of the first feeding opening, the horizontal projection of the second feeding opening is located within the horizontal projection of the first feeding opening. This allows the first feeding opening to have a relatively large opening size, allowing users to directly add whole ingredients, such as tomatoes, without having to cut them before adding them, improving convenience and freeing up the user's hands.

[0025] 7. As a preferred embodiment, the first and second processing chambers are arranged sequentially, away from the output end of the machine base. A trigger is provided on the side of the first processing chamber facing the output end of the machine base, and a microswitch is provided within the machine base. The trigger is configured to activate the microswitch when the processing chamber is mounted on the machine base and the trigger is compressed within a predetermined stroke. The provision of the trigger and microswitch provides a safety guarantee: the machine can only start operation after the microswitch is activated, preventing accidental startup and improving operational safety.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the triggering member includes a convex cavity radially projecting from the sidewall of the first processing cavity and an upper connecting rod disposed within the convex cavity. The upper connecting rod is movable up and down along the bottom wall of the convex cavity to trigger a microswitch within the machine base when subjected to downward pressure. Specifically, the convex cavity provides mounting and motion guidance for the upper connecting rod, ensuring smooth movement and improving the triggering efficiency of the microswitch. Furthermore, the upper connecting rod can pass through the bottom wall of the convex cavity to directly or indirectly trigger the microswitch, increasing the flexibility of the triggering method.

[0027] Furthermore, the sidewall of the first processing chamber is provided with an escape groove extending downward from the top of the first processing chamber and radially penetrating therethrough, the escape groove being connected to the top of the convex chamber. The food processor further includes a pusher, comprising a pusher rod for insertion into the first feeding port and a push rib protruding outward from one side of the pusher rod and extending vertically. The push rib is configured to extend transversely through the escape groove into the convex chamber to press down on the upper connecting rod. Thus, the pusher serves two purposes: the user can push the material while using the push rib to press down on the upper connecting rod to trigger the microswitch. This not only simplifies the structural configuration but also enables both pushing the material and triggering the microswitch to be completed in one go, ensuring safety while improving the efficiency of the machine.

[0028] 8. As a preferred embodiment, the machine base is L-shaped, comprising a machine body and a protrusion extending upward from one end of the machine body, the output end of the machine base being located on the protrusion and extending laterally, the first processing chamber being located on the machine body, the second processing chamber protruding laterally from the machine body, and the bottom of the second processing chamber being provided with a discharge port and a guide channel extending downwardly along the discharge port. The machine base structure of the present application is compact, and the protruding second processing chamber not only helps to reduce the volume of the machine base but also provides space for discharge from below the second processing chamber; the guide channel helps to guide the discharge of food, preventing the food from splashing when it is discharged directly through the discharge port. The confinement of the guide channel allows for orderly and hygienic discharge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in combination with the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

[0038] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0039] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application provides a food processing machine, including a machine base 10 and a processing chamber provided on the machine base 10, the processing chamber including a first processing chamber 11 and a second processing chamber 12, the food processing machine including a first processing knife assembly 13 installed in the first processing chamber 11 and a second processing knife assembly 14 installed in the second processing chamber 12, a first feeding port 17 is provided above the first processing chamber 11, and a second feeding port 18 is provided above the second processing chamber 12, the first feeding port 17 and the second feeding port 18 are connected by an isolation chamber 19 provided therebetween.

[0042] The food processing machine of the present invention can realize multiple processing functions such as cutting vegetables and cutting meat through one machine, and the first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 and their respective feeding ports are used to feed materials separately for processing, which can avoid the mixing of different ingredients and the occurrence of cross-flavoring, and can ensure the quality and taste of the ingredients. For example, the first processing chamber 11 can be a vegetable cutting chamber, and the second processing chamber 12 can be a meat cutting chamber. Of course, the two can also be replaced. The dual feeding ports are connected by an isolation chamber 19, which can increase the strength of the structural parts where the dual feeding ports are located, so as to strengthen the force on the processing chamber, reduce the probability of structural resonance caused by vibration transmission when the processing components are working, and at the same time, the isolation chamber 19 can be used for sound insulation and noise reduction, which can improve the noise reduction performance of the food processor as a whole.

[0043] Specifically, when the output end of the machine base 10 is arranged horizontally, the first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 are arranged horizontally, with one of them being arranged near the output end of the machine base 10 and the other being arranged away from the output end of the machine base 10. The first processing knife assembly 13 and the second processing knife assembly 14 are selectively connected to the output end of the machine base 10 for transmission operation. This can solve the problem of unstable transmission and high noise caused by the motor driving the vegetable cutting module and the meat cutting module to work together in the prior art. That is, the present application only uses one processing assembly at a time, which can reduce operating noise while ensuring stable transmission. Preferably, the first processing knife assembly 13 and the second processing knife assembly 14 can be detachably installed in the processing chamber, making it easy to remove and clean, solving the problem of difficult cleaning of the processing assemblies.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first barrel 20 is provided above the first processing chamber 11, which is connected to the first processing chamber 11 and extends vertically therefrom. A first feeding port 17 is provided at the top of the first barrel 20. A second barrel 21 is provided above the second processing chamber 12, which is connected to the second processing chamber 12 and extends vertically therefrom. A second feeding port 18 is provided at the top of the second barrel 21. By using a barrel with a certain height, when the user feeds the ingredients, the distance between the user's hand and the blade of the processing assembly below can be increased, which can improve the safety of feeding. Moreover, for longer ingredients, they can be directly put into the barrel, saving the user the trouble of cutting the ingredients. The double barrel is, for example, an integrated structure with the first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 below. The double barrel has a certain weight to enhance the stabilization effect on the processing chamber. Furthermore, a vertically extending isolation chamber 19 is provided between the double barrels, which increases the overall radial dimension of the double barrels, further improves the structural strength, and enhances the stabilization effect on the processing chamber. The isolation chamber 19 can also separate the first feeding port 17 and the second feeding port 18, so that the food input through the first feeding port 17 directly reaches the first processing chamber 11, and the food input through the second feeding port 18 directly reaches the second processing chamber 12. Vegetables and meat are fed and processed separately, which effectively solves the problem of cross-flavoring.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the isolation cavity 19 is a closed cavity with a hollow interior and closed at both ends. Figure 3 As shown, a hollow cavity with closed ends is used, which saves materials and can use the cavity to form a noise reduction cavity. When the noise generated by the working components is transmitted upward into the cavity, it is beneficial to attenuate the noise energy, thereby reducing the noise reaching the outside.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the second processing knife assembly 14 is a meat cleaver assembly, which includes a rolling cutter group 142 and a reduction gear 143 for reducing the speed of the rolling cutter group 142. When the second processing knife assembly 14 is installed into the second processing chamber 12, the central axis of the isolation chamber 19 falls within the horizontal projection range of the reduction gear 143.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 are arranged in sequence in a direction away from the output end of the machine base 10. The first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 are connected to each other. The first processing chamber is used for cutting vegetables, and the second processing chamber is used for cutting meat. In order to realize the transmission from the output end of the machine base 10 to the second processing knife assembly 14, preferably, the food processor includes a connecting rod 15, one end of the connecting rod 15 is connected to the rolling cutter assembly 142 through a reduction gear 143, and the other end passes through the first processing chamber 11 and is connected to the output end of the machine base 10. Figure 3 As can be seen, the reduction gearbox 143 has the connecting rod 15 on its left side and the rolling cutter assembly 142 on its right side. The reduction gearbox 143 acts as an intermediate power transmission mechanism, and its stability is crucial. By enhancing the stability of the reduction gearbox 143, the forces acting on both sides can be balanced, thereby achieving stable transmission from the connecting rod 15 to the rolling cutter assembly 142. Positioning the isolation chamber 19 at least partially above the reduction gearbox 143 not only enhances the stability of the machining chamber within the axial position where the isolation chamber 19 is located, preventing the instability of the reduction gearbox 143 from affecting the transmission of the rolling cutter assembly 142, but also effectively absorbs the noise generated by the machining components, preventing it from being transmitted outward.

[0048] Preferably, the central axis of the isolation chamber 19 is coaxial with the central axis of the reduction gearbox 143. The isolation chamber 19 can significantly improve the operational stability of the reduction gearbox 143 and provide improved noise absorption. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the central axis of the isolation chamber 19 is positioned to the right of the central axis of the reduction gearbox 143. In this case, the portion of the isolation chamber 19 corresponding to the rolling cutter assembly 142 facilitates absorption of noise generated by the rolling cutter assembly 142, thereby optimizing noise reduction. Alternatively, in yet another embodiment, the central axis of the isolation chamber 19 is positioned to the left of the central axis of the reduction gearbox 143. The portion of the isolation chamber 19 corresponding to the connecting rod 15 can enhance the transmission stability of the connecting rod 15.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the second processing knife assembly 14 includes a knife holder 141 and a rolling cutting knife group 142 arranged in the knife holder 141. The outer wall of the knife holder 141 is provided with a limiting rib 24. An opening 16 is provided on one side of the second processing cavity 12. A limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the second processing cavity 12. The second processing knife assembly 14 is slidably installed in the second processing cavity 12 through the opening 16 and the limiting rib 24 is plugged into the limiting groove. One end of the limiting rib 24 extends to the bottom of the isolation cavity 19.

[0050] Specifically, when the second processing knife assembly 14 is used, the motor in the machine base 10 is connected to the rotating shaft connected to the rolling cutter group 142 through the transmission member. When the motor is working, the knife holder 141 remains stationary, and the knife holder 141 is limited by the limit rib 24 plugging into the limit groove. The transmission member drives the rolling cutter group 142 to rotate and cut the food. The side opening 16 of the second processing chamber 12 is convenient for the user to install the second processing knife assembly 14 horizontally. When the second processing knife assembly 14 is pushed, the limit rib 24 plugs into the limit groove, and the operation steps are simple. Figure 5 As shown, a reduction box 143 is provided at one end of the tool holder 141 and a handle 144 is provided at the other end. The user can take and place the second processing tool assembly 14 through the handle 144, which is convenient to use.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the tool holder 141 in the radial direction are provided with limiting ribs 24, and the limiting ribs 24 extend along the axial direction of the tool holder 141. By extending one end of the limiting rib 24 to the bottom of the isolation cavity 19, the existence of the isolation cavity 19 can enhance the stability of the processing cavity in the axial position of the isolation cavity 19, that is, the enhanced stability of the second processing cavity 12 below the isolation cavity 19 is more conducive to the tight fit between the limiting ribs 24 and the limiting grooves in this area, thereby improving the fixing effect of the tool holder 141, thereby improving the working stability of the rolling cutter group 142, and avoiding the shaking of the tool holder 141 and friction to increase noise.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment, an indicator area 22 is provided on the top surface of the isolation chamber 19. Indicator area 22 includes an indicator indicating the type of food corresponding to the first feeding port 17 and an indicator indicating the type of food corresponding to the second feeding port 18. Providing indicator area 22 on the top surface of the isolation chamber 19 improves space utilization and prompts the user to feed food according to the food type indicator, thereby avoiding incorrect feeding and improving food processing reliability.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the indicator area 22 has an arrow pointing toward the first feeding port 17 and is labeled "Hard Ingredients." Vegetables and fruits with a certain degree of hardness can be placed in this area, and the first processing chamber 11 primarily processes these hard fruits and vegetables. The indicator area 22 also has an arrow pointing toward the second feeding port 18 and is labeled "Soft Ingredients." Meat, leeks, chili peppers, and other ingredients can be placed in this area, and the second processing chamber 12 primarily processes soft ingredients such as meat. Users can add ingredients based on the ingredient type labels, avoiding mistakes and improving the reliability of ingredient processing.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, when the horizontal projection of the second feeding port 18 is coaxially arranged with the horizontal projection of the first feeding port 17, the horizontal projection of the second feeding port 18 is located within the horizontal projection range of the first feeding port 17. By making the first feeding port 17 have a relatively large opening size, the user does not need to cut the ingredients before feeding them, and can directly put in whole ingredients such as tomatoes, which improves convenience and better frees the user's hands. It should be noted that the second feeding port 18 and the first feeding port 17 are not actually coaxially arranged. It is only when the two are coaxially arranged when comparing their sizes that the horizontal projection of the second feeding port 18 is located within the horizontal projection range of the first feeding port 17.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the first and second processing chambers 11, 12 are arranged sequentially, away from the output end of the machine base 10. A trigger is provided on the side of the first processing chamber 11 facing the output end of the machine base 10. A microswitch 27 is provided within the machine base 10. The trigger is configured to activate the microswitch 27 when the processing chamber is mounted on the machine base 10 and the trigger is compressed to a predetermined stroke. The provision of the trigger and microswitch 27 provides a safety guarantee: the machine can only start operation after the microswitch 27 is activated, preventing accidental startup and improving user safety.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first processing chamber 11 includes a first cavity for accommodating the first processing knife assembly 13 and a first barrel 20 that is arranged above the first cavity and connected with the first cavity and extends vertically. The first feeding port 17 is arranged at the top of the first barrel 20. In this embodiment, the trigger member is arranged on the side wall of the first barrel 20.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the trigger member includes a convex cavity 25 radially protruding from the side wall of the first processing cavity 11 and an upper connecting rod 26 arranged in the convex cavity 25. The upper connecting rod 26 can move up and down along the bottom wall of the convex cavity 25 to trigger the micro switch 27 in the machine base 10 when it is pressed downward by force.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the convex cavity 25 is convexly provided on the side wall of the first barrel 20. The convex cavity 25 provides installation and movement guidance for the upper connecting rod 26, which can make the upper connecting rod 26 move smoothly and is conducive to improving the triggering efficiency of the micro switch 27. In addition, the upper connecting rod 26 can pass through the bottom wall of the convex cavity 25 to directly or indirectly trigger the micro switch 27, increasing the flexibility of the triggering method. In order to achieve the upper connecting rod 26 triggering the micro switch 27, in one example, the upper connecting rod 26 can move downward for a large stroke to directly contact the micro switch 27 in the machine base 10 to turn it on. In another example, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, a lower connecting rod 28 is further provided in the machine base 10 , and the upper connecting rod 26 can move downward by a small stroke. The upper connecting rod 26 pushes the lower connecting rod 28 , and the lower connecting rod 28 triggers the micro switch 27 to be turned on.

[0059] Furthermore, the side wall of the first processing chamber 11 is provided with an avoidance groove 29 extending downward from the top of the first processing chamber 11 and passing radially therethrough, and the avoidance groove 29 is connected to the top of the convex chamber 25. The food processor also includes a pushing piece, which includes a pushing rod for inserting into the first feeding port 17 and a pushing rib protruding outward from one side of the pushing rod and extending vertically. The pushing rib is arranged to pass horizontally through the avoidance groove 29 and extend into the convex chamber 25 to press down the connecting rod 26.

[0060] It is understood that the length of the avoidance groove 29 is equal to or slightly greater than the travel of the push rib downward to trigger the micro switch 27, so as to avoid the avoidance groove 29 being too long, which may cause the material to be easily stuck at this position and affect the normal operation of the push rib. The pusher of the present application serves two purposes. The user can push the material while using the push rib to press down the upper connecting rod 26 to trigger the micro switch 27. This not only simplifies the structural configuration, but also enables the material pushing and triggering of the micro switch 27 to be completed in one go, ensuring safety while improving the efficiency of the machine.

[0061] Furthermore, a start button 23 is provided on the machine base 10. After the micro switch 27 is triggered, the user can press the start button 23 to start the machine, thereby freeing the user's hands and improving cutting efficiency.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the machine base 10 is L-shaped, and the machine base 10 includes a machine body 101 and a protrusion 102 extending upward from one end of the machine body 101. The output end of the machine base 10 is provided on the protrusion 102 and extends laterally. The first processing chamber 11 is provided on the machine body 101, and the second processing chamber 12 protrudes laterally from the machine body 101. The bottom of the second processing chamber 12 is provided with a discharge port and a material guide channel 121 extending downward along the discharge port.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the machine base 10 of the present application has a compact structure, and the protruding arrangement of the second processing cavity 12 is conducive to reducing the volume of the machine base 10, and also provides space for discharging materials below the second processing cavity 12; the material guide channel 121 is conducive to guiding the discharge of food materials, and can avoid splashing of juice when the food materials are discharged directly through the discharge port. The restraint of the material guide channel 121 can achieve orderly and hygienic discharge.

[0064] The machine body 101 is provided with a recessed cavity for accommodating the first processing chamber 11. The output end of the machine base is connected to the recessed cavity. For example, the output end of the machine base can extend into the first processing chamber 11 to facilitate transmission connection with the first processing blade assembly 13 or the second processing blade assembly 14. Preferably, the first processing chamber 11 and the second processing chamber 12 are integrally structured. When the processing chambers are installed on the machine base 10, the first processing chamber 11 is seated in the recessed cavity, and the second processing chamber 12 protrudes from the machine body 101, which facilitates the miniaturization of the machine base 10.
