[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0037] There are many types of food processors, including juicers, blenders, wall breakers, soy milk makers, etc., which can perform operations such as crushing, grinding, mixing, and juicing of ingredients. Food processors play an increasingly important role in people's lives.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The embodiment of the present application provides a food processor 1, which includes a main unit 10 and a cooking cup assembly 20 mounted on the main unit 10. The main unit 10 is provided with a drive mechanism, which may be a motor. The cooking cup assembly 20 includes a cooking cup 30. The cooking cup assembly 20 can be used to whip ingredients, and a stirring blade assembly can be provided at the bottom of the cooking cup 30. After the cooking cup assembly 20 is mounted on the main unit 10, the stirring blade assembly is coupled to the drive mechanism of the main unit 10. In this way, the main unit 10 can drive the stirring blade assembly to rotate, thereby crushing and whipping the ingredients in the cooking cup 30 through the stirring blade assembly. Of course, the cooking cup assembly 20 can also be used to grind ingredients. In this case, the stirring blade assembly can be replaced with a grinding disc structure. Alternatively, if the cooking cup assembly 20 is used to mix ingredients, the stirring blade assembly can be replaced with a stirring rod structure.

[0039] In addition, the food processor 1 may also have a heating function. In this case, a heating device such as a heating tube, a heating film, or a heating electromagnetic coil may be installed below the stirring blade assembly. After the cooking cup assembly 20 is installed on the main unit 10, the heating device is powered by the main unit 10 to heat the food in the cooking cup 30. Of course, the cooking cup assembly 20 of the present application may not be provided with a heating device.

[0040] The cooking cup assembly 20 is further provided with a cup cover assembly 40, which covers the cup mouth 31 at the upper end of the cooking cup 30, so that the cup cover assembly 40 can cooperate with the cooking cup 30 to form a cooking cavity. Through the setting of the cup cover assembly 40, the food can be effectively prevented from splashing to the outside from the cup mouth 31 of the cooking cup 30 during the beating process.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In one embodiment, the cup cover assembly 40 includes a main cup cover 41 and a sub-cup cover 46. The main cup cover 41 is used to cover the cup rim 31 of the cooking cup 30. Specifically, the periphery of the main cup cover 41 can be connected to multiple buckling parts 45, and the buckling parts 45 are used to buckle with the cup rim 31 of the cooking cup 30. Such a configuration can achieve a stable connection between the main cup cover 41 and the cooking cup 30, and also facilitate the opening operation of removing the main cup cover 41 from the cooking cup 30.

[0042] The main cup cover 41 is also provided with a feeding port 42. The feeding port 42 extends from the edge of the main cup cover 41 toward the inside of the main cup cover 41. When the main cup cover 41 is closed on the cup opening 31, at least a portion of the feeding port 42 extends to the edge of the cup opening 31. The auxiliary cup cover 46 is connected to the main cup cover 41 and is used to open and close the feeding port 42. When the main cup cover 41 is not opened, the feeding port 42 can be used to add ingredients during the operation of the cooking cup 30, or to pour out ingredients from the cooking chamber, allowing the ingredients to be discharged through the feeding port 42 and the edge of the cup opening 31. The feeding port 42 penetrates the thickness of the main cup cover 41 to communicate with the cooking chamber. The main cup cover 41 can seal the cup mouth 31 of the cooking cup 30 to prevent the ingredients from splashing and overflowing during the whipping process. Therefore, the edge of the main cup cover 41 is in contact with the wall of the cooking cup 30, and the feeding port 42 of this embodiment extends inward from the edge of the main cup cover 41. The feeding port 42 can be in the radial direction of the main cup cover 41 and extend toward the center direction of the main cup cover 41, or the extension direction of the feeding port 42 can be at an angle to the radial direction of the main cup cover 41 and extend toward the inside of the main cup cover 41.

[0043] In a conventional cup cover assembly 40, the feeding port 42 is only used to realize the function of adding materials midway. Therefore, in a conventional cup cover assembly 40, the feeding port 42 is usually opened in the middle of the main cup cover 41, and the distance between the feeding port 42 and the peripheral side of the main cup cover 41 is relatively large. In this way, after the food processor 1 has processed the food and needs to pour out the food, it is usually necessary to remove the cup cover assembly 40 from the cooking cup 30 before the food in the cooking cup 30 can be poured out.

[0044] The feeding port 42 of the present application is designed to extend from the edge of the main cup cover 41 toward the inner side of the main cup cover 41. In this way, when the cup cover assembly 40 is not removed from the cooking cup 30, at least part of the feeding port 42 extends to the edge of the cup mouth 31. After the auxiliary cup cover 46 is opened, when the entire cooking cup assembly 20 is poured out, the food in the cooking cup 30 is less blocked by the main cup cover 41, and the food can be easily poured out along the inner wall surface of the cooking cup 30 and the feeding port 42. In this way, the overall convenience of using the food cooking machine 1 is improved.

[0045] Furthermore, the distance between the feeding port 42 and the peripheral side of the main cup cover 41 is less than 0.5 cm. In this way, when pouring the food in the cooking cup 30, the main cup cover 41 has less obstruction to the food, so that the food can be poured more thoroughly.

[0046] In order to improve the convenience of pouring food, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4The mouth 31 of the cooking cup 30 is formed with a cup spout 32 protruding outward, and the main cup cover 41 is provided with a flange portion 44 protruding outward, which overlaps the cup spout 32; and the feeding port 42 extends to the flange portion 44. In this way, the entire cup cover assembly 40 also has an outward protruding portion, and the feeding port 42 also extends to the flange portion 44. This arrangement prevents the food from sticking to the outer wall of the cooking cup 30 when pouring food through the feeding port 42, making it more convenient to use.

[0047] Of course, in order to achieve a more thorough pouring process of ingredients, in other embodiments, the present application can be based on the previous embodiment of the cooking cup 30 being provided with a cup spout 32, and not providing a flange portion 44 on the main cup cover 41, but providing a notch (not shown) at the position corresponding to the cup spout 32, and the auxiliary cup cover 46 is adapted to cover the cup spout 32, and the feeding port 42 extends to the notch and is integrated with the notch. Through such a setting, during the pouring process of ingredients, there will be almost no obstruction to the ingredients at the position of the cup cover assembly 40, so the pouring of ingredients can be achieved more thoroughly.

[0048] It can be understood that in the above-mentioned embodiment in which the flange portion 44 is provided, the flange portion 44 is formed as a rib structure. At this time, combined with the above content, the flange portion 44 can be less than 0.5 cm thick. In the case where the flange portion 44 is not provided, that is, when a notch is formed, it is equivalent to the distance between the feeding port 42 and the peripheral side surface of the main cup cover 41 being 0.

[0049] In order to further enhance the convenience of pouring food, a handle 33 is provided on the outer wall of the cooking cup 30. The handle 33 and the cup spout 32 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the cooking cup 30, and the feeding port 42 extends from the cup spout 32 toward the handle 33. With this arrangement, when the user carries the handle 33, the lower end of the feeding port 42 is just located at the lower position of the other side, so that food can flow out of the feeding port 42 more conveniently.

[0050] In order to improve the convenience of feeding the feeding cover, the opening area of the feeding port 42 covers the center of the main cup cover 41. In this way, the opening area of the feeding port 42 can ensure that relatively large food materials can pass through.

[0051] In one embodiment, the feeding port 42 is an elongated opening, that is, the feeding port 42 has a length direction and a width direction, and the dimension in the length direction is greater than the dimension in the width direction. This arrangement, combined with the arrangement that the feeding port 42 extends to the edge of the main cup cover 41, allows the entire feeding port 42 to meet the feeding needs, and it is also convenient to pour out the ingredients in the cooking cup 30 more thoroughly. In addition, the length of the feeding port 42 of the present application is at least half the diameter of the main cup cover 41. This arrangement allows the feeding port 42 to have a larger opening area, so that it is convenient to feed relatively flat and larger ingredients. Specifically, the feeding port 42 of the present application can extend in the radial direction of the main cup cover 41, and in one arrangement, its length dimension accounts for three-quarters of the radial length of the main cup cover 41.

[0052] On this basis, the feeding port 42 can be symmetrically arranged along a radial line passing through the center of the main cup cover 41, so that the overall structure is more coordinated and beautiful. Furthermore, the width of the feeding port 42 ranges from 2 cm to 6 cm. If the width of the feeding port 42 is less than 2 cm, it may be difficult for the ingredients to pass through the feeding port 42 during pouring. If the width of the feeding port 42 is too large, greater than 6 cm, it may be difficult to constrain the flow position of the ingredients during pouring, and splashing may easily occur. Therefore, the width of the feeding port 42 of the present application can be set to values such as 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 3 cm..., 6 cm, etc., so that the feeding port 42 can have the dual advantages of convenient feeding of ingredients and anti-splashing.

[0053] In one embodiment, the secondary cup cover 46 and the main cup cover 41 can be rotatably connected, which makes it easier to open and close the feeding port 42. In addition, the secondary cup cover 46 can be attached to the main cup cover 41 during the opening and closing of the feeding port 42, and remain on the main cup cover 41, making it less likely to be lost. As a specific form of rotational connection, a pivot and an axial hole can be provided between the secondary cup cover 46 and the main cup cover 41, and the two can be rotatably connected through the cooperation of the pivot and the axial hole. Of course, the secondary cup cover 46 and the main cup cover 41 can also be adhered together, and the rotation is achieved by deformation of the adhesive portion.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the auxiliary cup cover 46 and the main cup cover 41 may also be detachably provided, for example, in the form of a snap connection, a sliding connection, etc., so that the feeding port 42 can be opened and closed.

[0055] Furthermore, a mounting groove 43 is formed in a recessed manner on the upper surface of the main cup cover 41, and the notch of the mounting groove 43 penetrates the side wall of the main cup cover 41; and the feeding port 42 penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting groove 43. When the auxiliary cup cover 46 closes the feeding port 42, the auxiliary cup cover 46 is accommodated in the mounting groove 43, and the outer side surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is flush with the side wall of the main cup cover 41, or the outer side surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 protrudes from the side wall of the main cup cover 41. Through such a configuration, on the one hand, when the auxiliary cup cover 46 closes the feeding port 42, it can be protected by the mounting groove 43 to avoid being impacted by foreign objects during use. On the other hand, the outer side surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is exposed outside the main cup cover 41, which can facilitate the user to open and close the auxiliary cup cover 46 by operating the outer side surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the auxiliary cup cover 46 closes the feeding port 42, the top surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is flush with the top surface of the main cup cover 41, or the top surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is higher than the top surface of the main cup cover 41. When the top surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is flush with the top surface of the main cup cover 41, it is more conducive to protecting the auxiliary cup cover 46, while when the top surface of the auxiliary cup cover 46 is higher than the top surface of the main cup cover 41, it is easier to open the auxiliary cup cover 46.

[0057] The same or similar numbers in the drawings of this embodiment correspond to the same or similar parts; in the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicate an orientation or position relationship, they are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0058] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
