[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a food processor with more diversified functions and better flexibility. The food processor includes a body, a stirring pot 3 and a steam generating unit 4.

[0046] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The machine body includes a base 1 and a head 2 mounted on the base 1. The mixing pot 3 is detachably mounted on the base 1 and is hollowed to form an inner cavity. A steam generating unit 4 is mounted on the machine body. The steam output end of the steam generating unit 4 is connected to the inner cavity of the mixing pot 3 and can supply steam into the mixing pot 3 to steam the food 100 in the mixing pot 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the machine head 2 is rotatably connected to the machine base 1. Before installing the mixing pot 3 or removing the mixing pot 3, the machine head 2 can be rotated and lifted relative to the machine base 1 so that the machine head 2 avoids the area above the mixing pot 3, making it convenient to install and remove the mixing pot 3, as well as to take ingredients 100 into and out of the mixing pot 3.

[0048] The stand mixer provided in this embodiment can place ingredients 100 to be steamed (such as corn, sweet potatoes, and baozi or steamed buns formed from dough) into the mixing pot 3. Steam is introduced into the mixing pot 3 (the inner cavity of the mixing pot 3) via the steam generating unit 4, and the ingredients 100 are cooked by the steam, thus providing the stand mixer with a steaming function. In other words, in addition to the basic functions of kneading dough and beating eggs, the stand mixer also has a steaming function, making the stand mixer more versatile and more flexible. Furthermore, the kitchen can eliminate the need for a steamer, reducing the number of kitchen utensils, saving kitchen space, and improving the user's cooking experience.

[0049] Optionally, the steam generating unit 4 includes a steam generator 41 and a connecting pipe 42. The machine body is provided with an installation cavity, and the steam generator 41 is located within the installation cavity. One end of the connecting pipe 42 is connected to the steam output end of the steam generator 41, and the other end extends to the drive end of the machine head 2 and is able to communicate with the inner cavity of the stirring pot 3. After the steam generator 41 is started, it can quickly heat water to a boiling state to generate steam. The steam enters the stirring pot 3 through the connecting pipe 42, and steams the food 100 in the stirring pot 3. The configuration of the steam generator 41 can quickly and stably generate a large amount of steam, resulting in a fast steaming speed, and the food 100 is heated more evenly, which can ensure the taste of the food 100 after being cooked.

[0050] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The food processor also includes a steaming rack 5, which can be placed within the mixing pot 3 and is used to hold the ingredients 100 to be steamed. The steam generating unit 4 also includes a steam pipe (not shown). One end of the steam pipe is detachably connected to the steam output end of the connecting pipe 42, and the other end can pass through the steaming rack 5 and extend to the area below the steaming rack 5. The steam pipe ensures that the space below the steaming rack 5 is also filled with steam, ensuring that the ingredients 100 on the steaming rack 5 are exposed to steam from both above and below, heating them more evenly and ensuring that the ingredients 100 are cooked through.

[0051] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the mixing pot 3 is provided with a support structure 31. This structure supports the steaming rack 5 in a vertical direction, separating the mixing pot 3 into an upper and lower area, maintaining a certain distance from the bottom of the mixing pot 3. When the steam generator 41 is activated, steam is continuously supplied to the lower area of ​​the steaming rack 5 through the connecting pipe 42 and the steam pipe. Simultaneously, the steam reaches the upper area of ​​the steaming rack 5 through the holes in the steaming rack 5. This ensures that the food 100 on the steaming rack 5 is evenly heated from top to bottom, ensuring a good texture after cooking. Furthermore, the steaming rack 5 maintains a distance from the bottom of the mixing pot 3, preventing condensation in the mixing pot 3 from soaking the food 100 and affecting its taste. The support structure 31 ensures that the steaming rack 5 is stably placed within the mixing pot 3, thus stably supporting the food 100 and separating it from the water in the mixing pot 3.

[0052] In addition, for ingredients 100 that can be directly steamed (such as corn, sweet potato, etc.), the steaming rack 5 does not need to be placed in the mixing pot 3. The ingredients 100 can be directly placed in the mixing pot 3 and steamed using steam, making the use of the food processor more flexible.

[0053] Illustratively, the support structure 31 is a protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the stirring pot 3 , and the outer bottom surface of the steaming rack 5 can just overlap the protrusion to prevent the steaming rack 5 from moving downward in the height direction of the stirring pot 3 .

[0054] Furthermore, the protrusions are arranged on the inner wall of the stirring pot 3 along the circumferential direction, or a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions are arranged on the inner wall of the stirring pot 3 at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0055] Furthermore, the support structure 31 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the stirring pot 3 , which has a simple processing technology and can ensure the connection strength between the support structure 31 and the inner wall of the stirring pot 3 .

[0056] Optionally, the steam pipe includes a steam main pipe and multiple steam branch pipes. The first end of the steam main pipe is detachably connected to the steam output end of the connecting pipe 42. One end of each of the multiple steam branch pipes is connected to the second end of the steam main pipe and is circumferentially spaced about the steam main pipe. The other ends of each of the multiple steam branch pipes can extend to the area below the steam rack 5. By providing multiple steam branch pipes, the steam generated by the steam generator 41 can be more evenly distributed into the stirring pot 3, thereby further ensuring that the food 100 on the steam rack 5 is heated evenly.

[0057] Optionally, the edge area of ​​the steaming rack 5 is provided with an escape hole, through which the steam pipe can pass and extend to the area below the steaming rack 5. That is, the steam branch of the steam pipe is provided at the edge area of ​​the steaming rack 5, which can prevent the steam pipe from interfering with the food 100 on the steaming rack 5 and thus avoiding damage to the food 100.

[0058] Optionally, a storage space is provided on the base 1 or the head 2 for accommodating the steam pipe. After removal, the steam pipe can be stored in the storage space, preventing loss and providing easy access. For example, a recessed storage space can be provided on the housing of the base 1 or the head 2, and a snap-on cover can be provided. After the steam pipe is placed in the storage space, the cover can be used to seal the opening of the storage space, thereby enhancing the overall appearance of the machine.

[0059] Optionally, the steam branch pipe is rotatably connected to the steam main pipe, and the steam branch pipe has a use position and a storage position. When in the use position, the steam branch pipe is rotated and expanded to a preset angle relative to the steam main pipe, and when in the storage position, the steam branch pipe is rotated to be in contact with the steam main pipe. When the steam pipe is not in use, the multiple steam branch pipes are rotated to the storage position, which can reduce the space occupied by the steam pipes and is more conducive to the storage of the steam pipes. When the steam pipe is in use, the steam branch pipe is rotated and expanded to the use position, so that the multiple steam branch pipes can pass through the avoidance holes in the edge area of ​​the steam rack 5. The angle at which the steam branch pipe is rotated and expanded relative to the steam main pipe must ensure that the steam branch pipe avoids the middle area of ​​the steam rack 5 to prevent the steam branch pipe from interfering with the food 100 on the steam rack 5.

[0060] Optionally, the steam branch pipe is provided with a plurality of steam holes spaced along its extension direction. The provision of the plurality of steam holes enables the steam in the steam branch pipe to be ejected from multiple directions, making the steam distribution in the stirring pot 3 more uniform, further improving the uniformity of heating the food 100, and at the same time increasing the speed at which the steam in the stirring pot 3 is filled.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The steam generating unit 4 further includes a water tank 43 and a water inlet pipe 44 disposed within the machine body. One end of the water inlet pipe 44 is connected to the water tank 43, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator 41. Water in the water tank 43 can be continuously supplied to the steam generator 41 via the water inlet pipe 44, ensuring that the steam generator 41 can continuously supply steam to the stirring pot 3.

[0062] Furthermore, the height of the water outlet of the water tank 43 is higher than the height of the water inlet of the steam generator 41, so that the water in the water tank 43 can be automatically replenished into the steam generator 41 under the action of gravity, and no power parts are required, which simplifies the structural design and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0063] Furthermore, a mounting port for the water tank 43 can be provided on the machine body, and the water tank 43 can be detachably installed into the mounting port. For example, the water tank 43 can be removed by pulling and retracting, which is convenient for replenishing water in the water tank 43 or cleaning the water tank 43, making later use and maintenance more convenient.

[0064] Optionally, a raised portion 21 is provided on the side of the machine head 2 facing the machine base 1, and a perforation is provided on the raised portion 21. The steam output end of the connecting pipe 42 is exposed through the perforation, and a sealing member is provided at the perforation, which is used to selectively block the perforation. The perforation can at least partially expose the connecting pipe 42, facilitating the later disassembly and assembly of the steam pipe. When the steaming function is not in use, the perforation is blocked by the sealing member to prevent debris (such as flour when kneading dough) from entering the connecting pipe 42 and the interior of the machine head 2, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the connecting pipe 42.

[0065] For example, the blocking member may be a rubber cover that is stuck in the perforation and can cover the steam output end of the connecting pipe 42 .

[0066] Optionally, see Figure 2 The food processor also includes a stirring member 8. A rotating head 22 is rotatably provided on the raised portion 21. The stirring member 8 can be detachably mounted on the rotating head 22. The stirring member 8 can be a kneading rod, an egg beating cage, a stirring paddle, etc. Among them, the kneading rod is used to knead the dough. The kneading rod can be installed on the rotating head 22, and flour, water, eggs and other materials with a good proportion are put into the mixing pot 3. After starting the food processor, the kneading rod is used to knead the dough to form dough.

[0067] Furthermore, the diameter of the perforation is larger than the diameter of the connecting tube 42 , so as to prevent the connecting tube 42 from rotating when the rotating head 22 rotates, thereby preventing the connecting tube 42 from being damaged.

[0068] Optionally, the food processor further includes a pot cover 7. A raised portion 21 is provided on the side of the machine head 2 facing the machine base 1. The pot cover 7 is mounted and fixed to the raised portion 21 and can cover the pot opening of the mixing pot 3. When the machine head 2 is rotated and pressed downward relative to the machine base 1, the pot cover 7 seals the pot opening, making the mixing pot 3 relatively airtight, thereby maintaining a certain steam pressure in the mixing pot 3 to ensure the cooking effect of the ingredients 100.

[0069] Furthermore, a first limiting structure 71 is provided on the pot cover 7, and a second limiting structure 35 is provided on the stirring pot 3. The first limiting structure 71 and the second limiting structure 35 cooperate to limit the movement of the pot cover 7 relative to the stirring pot 3 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that the pot cover 7 can stably cover the stirring pot 3 and ensure the airtightness inside the stirring pot 3.

[0070] Exemplarily, the first limiting structure 71 includes a limiting ring arranged on the side of the pot cover 7 facing the stirring pot 3, the diameter of the pot cover 7 is larger than the diameter of the pot mouth of the stirring pot 3, and a overlapping groove is formed between the limiting ring and the outer edge of the pot cover 7. The second limiting structure 35 includes a stop ring arranged on the outer edge of the pot mouth of the stirring pot 3. After the pot cover 7 is placed on the stirring pot 3, the overlapping groove overlaps the stop ring to achieve the limitation of the pot cover 7.

[0071] Optionally, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The central area of ​​the pot lid 7 is provided with a mounting hole 73, surrounded by a stop edge 74. The raised portion 21 extends through the mounting hole 73 and seals against the stop edge 74. The provision of mounting hole 73 allows the pot lid 7 to be mounted on the raised portion 21 of the machine head 2, preventing the pot lid 7 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating head 22 and affecting other functions of the food processor. The seal between the stop edge 74 and the raised portion 21 further enhances the sealing of the mixing pot 3 and prevents steam leakage at the mounting hole 73.

[0072] For example, a sealing gasket or the like may be provided on the stop edge 74 so that the stop edge 74 is sealedly matched with the raised portion 21 through the sealing gasket.

[0073] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The pot cover 7 is provided with a steam exhaust hole 72. Part of the steam in the stirring pot 3 can be discharged through the steam exhaust hole 72, preventing the pressure in the stirring pot 3 from being too high and ensuring cooking safety. For example, the pot cover 7 is provided with multiple steam exhaust holes 72 to improve the steam exhaust efficiency.

[0074] Optionally, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5The stand mixer also includes a heating device 6. A mounting slot 11 is provided on the stand 1. The mixing pot 3 is detachably mounted in the mounting slot 11. The heating device 6 is located within the mounting slot 11 and is used to heat the mixing pot 3. After kneading the dough in the mixing pot 3 is completed, the heating device 6 can be activated to heat the mixing pot 3 to a certain temperature so that the dough can be directly fermented. This allows the stand mixer to have a fermentation function, eliminating the need to transfer the dough to other specialized fermentation equipment for fermentation. This saves fermentation time and simplifies the cooking process. It also reduces the number of kitchen appliances required, achieving the goal of rationally utilizing kitchen space.

[0075] In addition, water can also be added to the mixing pot 3, and the heating device 6 can be used to heat the water in the mixing pot 3 to boil and generate steam to steam the ingredients 100 on the steaming rack 5, thereby realizing the steaming function of the food processor, so that the food processor can steam the ingredients 100 using the steam generating unit 4 and the heating device 6.

[0076] Furthermore, when the food 100 is steamed using the steam generating unit 4, the condensed water formed by the condensation of the steam in the stirring pot 3 flows to the bottom of the stirring pot 3, and the heating device 6 can be turned on to heat the condensed water again to generate steam, so that the steam in the stirring pot 3 is more sufficient and the condensed water in the stirring pot 3 can be reused.

[0077] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 After the mixing pot 3 is mounted on the machine base 1, the heating device 6 is located below the mixing pot 3. A heat-conducting structure is provided at the bottom of the mixing pot 3, and the mixing pot 3 contacts the heating device 6 through the heat-conducting structure to transfer heat. Providing a heat-conducting structure at the bottom of the mixing pot 3 improves the uniformity of heating and the efficiency of heat transfer within the mixing pot 3, thereby heating the water within the mixing pot 3 or heating ingredients such as dough 100 within the mixing pot 3 more quickly.

[0078] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The stirring pot 3 includes a pot body 301 and a base 302. The heat-conducting structure includes a mounting housing 33 and a heat-conducting member 32. The mounting housing 33 is sleeved and connected to the outside of the base 302, forming a mounting space 34 between the mounting housing 33 and the base 302. The heat-conducting member 32 is located within the mounting space 34. Both the mounting housing 33 and the heat-conducting member 32 are made of a heat-conducting material. The installation of the mounting housing 33 securely fixes the heat-conducting member 32 to the base 302 of the stirring pot 3, ensuring effective heat conduction. The presence of the mounting housing 33 also prevents friction damage to the heat-conducting member 32, extending its service life.

[0079] Illustratively, the heat conductor 32 is an aluminum plate that fits against the outer bottom of the base 302 of the stirring pot 3 and has approximately the same area as the bottom of the base 302. This ensures that the heating surface of the stirring pot 3 is uniformly heated and heat transfer is efficient. In other embodiments, the heat conductor 32 can also be a thermally conductive silicone pad or a thermally conductive silicone grease pad, as long as it provides good thermal conductivity.

[0080] Furthermore, the mounting shell 33 may be made of aluminum material, which has good heat conduction effect and can further improve the efficiency of the heating device 6 in heating the stirring pot 3 .

[0081] In other embodiments, the mounting housing 33 may not be provided, and the heat conducting member 32 may be directly bonded and fixed to the base 302 of the stirring pot 3 .

[0082] Optionally, the heating device 6 includes a heating plate, which is detachably arranged in the mounting groove 11. A support portion 61 is provided on the side of the heating plate facing the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11, and the support portion 61 is supported on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11. The detachable manner of the heating plate facilitates replacement and maintenance, and can reduce subsequent maintenance costs. In addition, when the fermentation function and the steaming function are not needed, the heating plate can be taken out to avoid wear on the heating plate during the stirring of the ingredients 100. By providing the support portion 61 at the bottom of the heating plate, a certain gap can be maintained between the heating plate and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11, which facilitates heat dissipation of the heating plate and improves the working reliability of the heating plate.

[0083] Exemplarily, three supporting portions 61 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the bottom of the heating plate to ensure that the heating plate can be stably placed in the mounting groove 11 .

[0084] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The edge of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a guide edge 12, which is inclined in a direction away from the center line of the mounting groove 11. In other words, the groove of the mounting groove 11 is trumpet-shaped, making it easier to align the base 302 of the mixing pot 3 into the mounting groove 11, thereby improving the installation convenience of the mixing pot 3.

[0085] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stirring pot 3 is provided with a handle structure 36, which can be used to operate the stirring pot 3 to be installed on the machine base 1 or to remove the stirring pot 3 from the machine base 1 and to transfer the stirring pot 3. For example, the handle structure 36 is provided on the outer wall of the middle area of ​​the stirring pot 3.

[0086] In other embodiments, the handle structure 36 may also be a pot ear provided at the upper end of the stirring pot 3 near the pot mouth, with one pot ear provided on each opposite side of the stirring pot 3, so that the user can operate with both hands more easily.

[0087] Furthermore, a temperature detection element (such as a temperature sensor) can be provided on the stirring pot 3 or the heating device 6 to detect the heating temperature, and a temperature adjustment key can be provided on the machine body. When the fermentation function is used, the heating temperature of the stirring pot 3 can be set through the temperature adjustment key. When the temperature detected by the temperature detection element reaches the set temperature, the heating device 6 is controlled to keep warm so that the dough in the stirring pot 3 can be fermented at a suitable temperature.
