Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to a blending cup assembly and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market. Existing food processor heating plates have certain problems in terms of heating area, visual effect, low-capacity water level marking, etc.

[0003] Existing heating plates for blenders mainly come in two types: flat and concave. The concave structure occupies the axial height of the cup base, resulting in poor visualization and aesthetics during low-volume production. Furthermore, it's impossible to mark the low-volume water level, making it unsuitable for low-volume production. The flat structure, which does not occupy the axial height of the cup base, has a smaller heating area and can cause the bottom of the cup to burn.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a stirring cup assembly that solves the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a blending cup assembly and a food processor, which increase the heating area and reduce the heat load, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of sticky bottom.

[0006] In one aspect, the present application provides a blending cup assembly, comprising:

[0007] A blending cup, comprising a cup body and a cup base arranged at the bottom end of the cup body;

[0008] A heating plate is provided at the bottom of the cup body, the heating plate comprises a bottom plate and a heating element, the bottom plate comprises a plate body protruding toward the cup body, and the heating element is fixed to the bottom of the plate body; and

[0009] The pulverizer assembly is assembled to the heating plate. By extending the plate toward the interior of the cup, the heating surface area of ​​the material inside the cup is increased, reducing the heat load and effectively preventing the problem of sticking to the bottom. Furthermore, the base plate protruding from the interior of the cup does not occupy axial height, thus reducing the height of the cup base and improving the aesthetics. Furthermore, the upward protrusion of the plate allows the material to slide down the plate under the action of gravity, preventing the material from sticking to the plate due to overheating.

[0010] Furthermore, the plate body is a spherical structure or a conical structure. In this way, the contact area of ​​the spherical surface and the conical surface is large, which can effectively disperse the heat load generated by the heating element, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of bottom burning.

[0011] Furthermore, the chassis is made of an aluminum plate, and the heating element and the chassis are integrally formed. This can improve the stability of heat transfer between the heating element and the chassis and improve heating efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the chassis includes a stainless steel plate and an aluminum plate disposed below the stainless steel plate, and the heating element is disposed on the aluminum plate. In this way, the chassis combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with the good thermal conductivity of the aluminum plate, which can effectively improve heating efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the heating plate; the crushing blade assembly comprises a shaft sleeve, a blade shaft, and a blade assembly. The shaft sleeve is disposed in the through hole, the blade shaft passes through the shaft sleeve, and a bearing is provided between the shaft and the shaft sleeve. The blade assembly is fixed to the top of the blade shaft. In this way, the crushing blade assembly is easy and reliable to assemble.

[0014] Furthermore, the knife assembly includes a blade and a knife sheath, wherein the blade is fixed to the knife sheath, and the knife sheath is detachably mounted on the knife shaft. This enables quick installation and removal of the knife assembly, making cleaning of the knife assembly more convenient and quicker, and also making it easier to clean the heating plate after the knife assembly is disassembled.

[0015] Furthermore, the blending cup further comprises a cup seat provided at the bottom end of the cup body; the bottom plate comprises an annular step portion provided around the plate body, the annular step portion being clamped between the cup body and the cup seat;

[0016] A seal is formed between the cup body and the annular step portion by the seal ring. In this way, by arranging the seal ring, a seal is formed between the cup body and the chassis to avoid leakage.

[0017] Furthermore, the angle between the inner wall of the cup body and the plate body of the heating plate is an acute angle. In this way, the material is gathered in the small space between the inner wall of the cup body and the plate body of the heating plate, which is conducive to increasing the contact probability between the material and the blade and improving the crushing performance.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the cup body is provided with an inwardly contracting neck portion, the disc body is located in the neck portion, the neck portion has a height of H1, and the disc body has a height of H2, 0

[0019] Furthermore, the disc gradually extends into the cup body from the edge in contact with the inner wall of the cup body to the center, so that the disc body is convex as a whole, more effectively utilizing the inner space of the cup body, facilitating uniform heating and improving heating efficiency.

[0020] Another aspect of the present application provides a food processor. The food processor includes the aforementioned blending cup assembly and a main unit assembly, wherein the blending cup assembly is assembled to the main unit assembly. Thus, the main unit assembly drives the pulverizing blade assembly in the blending cup assembly to operate.

[0021] ​This application has the following beneficial effects: by extending the disc into the cup body, the heating area of ​​the material inside the cup is increased, reducing the heat load, and effectively preventing the problem of sticking to the bottom. At the same time, the bottom disc protruding from the cup body does not occupy axial height, which can reduce the overall height of the blender cup assembly and improve the aesthetics.

[0031] Reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the present application discloses a blending cup assembly 100, which includes a blending cup 10, a heating plate 20, and a crushing blade assembly 30. The blending cup 10 includes a cup body 11 and a cup base 12 disposed at the bottom end of the cup body 11. The heating plate 20 is disposed at the bottom end of the cup body 11 and includes a bottom plate 21 and a heating element 22. The bottom plate 21 includes a plate body 211 protruding into the cup body 11, and the heating element 22 is fixed to the bottom of the plate body 211. The crushing blade assembly 30 is assembled to the heating plate 20.

[0032] By extending the disc 211 into the cup body 11, the heating surface area of ​​the material inside the cup body 11 is increased, reducing the heat load and effectively preventing the problem of sticking to the bottom. Furthermore, the disc 21 protruding into the cup body 11 does not occupy axial height, which can reduce the height of the cup base 12 and enhance the aesthetics of the blender cup assembly 100. Furthermore, the upward projection of the disc 211 allows the material to slide down the disc 211 under the action of gravity, preventing the material from sticking to the disc 211 due to overheating of the heating disc 20.

[0033] The heating element 22 mentioned above is a heating tube. In addition, the heating element 22 can also be a heating film, an infrared heating device, etc. The specific device for heating the chassis 21 is not limited here.

[0034] In the present application, the disk body 211 gradually extends into the cup body 11 from the edge in contact with the inner wall of the cup body 11 to the center, that is, the disk body 211 as a whole protrudes into the cup body 11, thereby more effectively utilizing the internal space of the cup body 11, which helps to heat evenly and improve heating efficiency.

[0035] In addition, the heating element 22 is fixed in the concave surface of the plate 211 away from the cup body 11 , thereby saving space occupied by the heating element 22 .

[0036] Reference Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the disc body 211 is a spherical structure. In another embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the disc body 211 is a conical structure. Thus, compared with the plane, the contact area of ​​the spherical surface and the conical surface is larger, which can effectively disperse the heat load generated by the heating element 22, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of bottom sticking.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the chassis 21 has a double-layer structure, comprising a stainless steel plate 213 and an aluminum plate 212 disposed below the stainless steel plate 213. This combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with the excellent thermal conductivity of the aluminum plate 212, effectively improving heating efficiency. The heating element 22 is disposed on the concave surface of the aluminum plate 212, away from the stainless steel plate 213, saving space for the heating element 22.

[0038] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 4-5 As shown, the chassis 21 is made of an aluminum plate 212, and the heating element 22 is integrally formed with the chassis 21. This improves the stability of heat transfer between the heating element 22 and the chassis 21, thereby increasing heating efficiency. Furthermore, the heating element 22 is also positioned on the concave surface of the aluminum plate 212, away from the stainless steel plate 213, saving space for the heating element 22.

[0039] A through hole 23 is provided in the middle of the heating plate 20, and the crushing knife assembly 30 includes a shaft sleeve 31, a knife shaft 32 and a knife assembly 33. The knife assembly 33 is used to beat and crush the food in the cup body 11. Among them, the shaft sleeve 31 is arranged in the through hole 23, the knife shaft 32 passes through the shaft sleeve 31, and a bearing 34 is provided between the knife shaft 32 and the shaft sleeve 31, and the knife assembly 33 is fixed to the top of the knife shaft 32. In this way, the crushing knife assembly 30 is easy and reliable to assemble. In this embodiment, the portion of the heating plate 20 in the middle where the through hole 23 is provided is flat. The advantage of this design is that it increases the contact area between the shaft sleeve 31 and the heating plate 20, making the connection between the two stable.

[0040] In one embodiment, the shaft sleeve 31 can be integrally formed with the heating plate 20, with good sealing and a stable connection. In another embodiment, the shaft sleeve 31 can also be separated from the heating plate 20 for easy disassembly and cleaning.

[0041] The knife assembly 33 includes a blade 331 and a knife sleeve 332. The blade 331 is fixed to the knife sleeve 332, and the knife sleeve 332 is detachably mounted on the knife shaft 32. The knife assembly 33 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, making cleaning of the knife assembly 33 more convenient and quick. At the same time, after the knife assembly is disassembled, cleaning the heating plate is more convenient.

[0042] The bottom plate 21 includes an annular step 24 surrounding the plate body 211. The annular step 24 is clamped between the cup body 11 and the cup base 12. A seal is formed between the cup body 11 and the annular step 24 via a sealing ring 40. Thus, the sealing ring 40 forms a seal between the cup body 11 and the bottom plate 21, preventing leakage of material in the cup body 11.

[0043] In order to further improve the stability of the sealing ring 40 placed on the annular step portion 24, an annular ridge 121 is provided along the circumferential direction on the top edge of the cup holder 12. The annular ridge 121 abuts against the side wall of the sealing ring 40, that is, the sealing ring 40 is clamped and fixed by the annular step portion 24 and the annular ridge 121.

[0044] The bottom end of the cup body 11 is provided with an inwardly converging opening 111. The radial dimension of the converging opening 111 is smaller than that of the rest of the cup body 11. The disc body 211 is located within the converging opening 111. The height of the converging opening 111 is H1, and the height of the disc body 211 is H2, where 0 < H1 < H2. This reduces the size of the crushing zone and improves crushing performance. The crushing zone here refers to the space enclosed by the cup body 11, with the reduced crushing zone concentrated within the space enclosed by the converging opening 111.

[0045] The annular rib 121 is arranged to form a accommodating cavity, and an invisible part of the volume is formed in the accommodating cavity. In the present application, the necked portion 111 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, but considering that when the material is placed in the space surrounded by the necked portion 111, it cannot meet the user's low-capacity production needs. Therefore, the heating plate 20 is hidden in the accommodating cavity, occupying the invisible part of the volume of the cup holder 12. In addition, since the heating plate 20 protrudes into the cup body 11, the heating plate 20 also occupies the space of the necked portion 111, which causes the material originally located in the necked portion 111 to move to the top of the cup body 11 to the visible part of the cup body 11. The visible part of the cup body 11 can be marked with a low-capacity water level to meet the user's low-capacity production needs.

[0046] The blade assembly 33 in the crushing blade assembly 30 is located above the heating plate 20. When the heating plate 20 occupies the invisible part of the cup seat 12, the blade assembly 33 in the crushing blade assembly 30 can be arranged in the visible part of the cup body 11, thereby improving the visualization effect of the crushing process.

[0047] The angle a between the inner wall of the cup body 11 and the plate body 211 of the heating plate 20 is an acute angle, i.e., 0 < a < 90 degrees. For example, the angle a can be 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, or 90 degrees. This allows the material to converge in the small space between the inner wall of the cup body 11 and the plate body 211 of the heating plate 20, which helps increase the contact probability between the material and the blade 331 and improve the crushing performance.

[0048] The blending cup assembly 100 further includes a cup cover 13 , which is disposed on the cup body 11 to seal the cup body 11 .

[0049] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the present application also discloses a food processor, which includes a blending cup assembly 100 and a main unit assembly 200 , wherein the blending cup assembly 100 is assembled to the main unit assembly 200 , and the main unit assembly 200 drives the crushing blade assembly 30 in the blending cup assembly 100 to work.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
