[0036] The following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0037] In existing food processors, the bowl is usually fixed directly to the base by screws or snap connections; the mixing bucket is placed on the bowl, so that the mixing paddle can be extended into the mixing bucket to complete actions such as kneading dough and beating eggs.
[0038] This bowl-mounted fixing method usually limits its use to a specific size or type of mixing bowl. In actual cooking, users may need to replace mixing bowls of different sizes and types according to recipe requirements and product types. For example, in order to prevent the dough from heating up during mixing and seriously affecting the taste of the product, it is necessary to replace the mixing bowl with a cooling layer to cool the dough. However, the bottom of the mixing bowl with a cooling layer is thick and cannot be installed on the bowl-mounted structure of the stand mixer. Obviously, the fixed bowl design will hinder the use of the stand mixer.
[0039] Based on this, the present application provides a food processor bowl seat structure.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] See also Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a stand structure for a stand mixer bowl. This stand structure is mounted on the stand base 1 of the stand mixer. The stand base 1 is provided with a mounting slot 11, into which the stand 2 is mounted. A retractable elastic member 3 is located at the bottom of the slot 11, and the bottom of the stand 2 is connected to the elastic member 3. A heating wire is installed at the bottom of the stand 2 to generate heat during use, heating the dough in the mixing bowl and promoting its fermentation. The temperature of the stand 2 is typically 40°C-45°C.
[0042] In actual use, the elastic member 3 can be made of a spring, elastic rubber, or other elastic material. The bottom of the bowl seat 2 is connected to the elastic member 3, allowing the bowl seat 2 to be adjusted up and down within the mounting slot 11 under the action of the elastic member 3. When the user needs to install a mixing bowl of different sizes on the food processor, they can adjust the position of the bowl seat 2 to accommodate the height and size of the mixing bowl. Thanks to the presence of the elastic member 3, the bowl seat 2 can be easily moved up and down and maintain a stable position, ensuring that the mixing bowl is securely mounted on the food processor and preventing it from shaking or falling off during the mixing process. The up and down adjustment function of the bowl seat 2 enabled by the elastic member 3 makes the food processor bowl seat structure of the present application adaptable to the installation of mixing bowls of different heights and sizes, greatly improving the applicability and flexibility of the food processor. Moreover, the elastic member 3 not only provides flexibility in the up and down adjustment of the bowl seat 2, but also absorbs some vibration during the mixing process, enhancing the stability of the mixing bowl and improving the mixing effect. Furthermore, the position of the bowl seat 2 can be adjusted without additional tools or complicated operations, which greatly improves user convenience and satisfaction.
[0043] Specifically, the elastic member 3 has a telescopic range of 2 mm to 15 mm. More preferably, the elastic member 3 has a telescopic range of 6 mm to 8 mm.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the elastic members 3 are provided in N numbers, where N is a natural number greater than 1;
[0045] The axes of the N elastic members 3 are all parallel to the axis of the installation groove 11 , and the N elastic members 3 are evenly distributed in the installation groove 11 in a ring shape.
[0046] The axes of the N elastic members 3 are all parallel to the axis of the mounting slot 11, ensuring that each elastic member 3 provides uniform elastic force in the same direction. Furthermore, these N elastic members 3 are evenly distributed in a ring-shaped pattern within the mounting slot 11, i.e., they are evenly arranged around the center of the mounting slot 11, forming a stable annular support. This layout not only enhances the stability of the bowl seat 2 within the mounting slot 11 but also ensures that the force applied to the bowl seat 2 is evenly distributed during vertical adjustment, avoiding deflection or jamming caused by single-point force.
[0047] Specifically, N is equal to 3, that is, three elastic members 3 are provided.
[0048] Furthermore, a first limiting ring 12 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 11 , a second limiting ring 22 is provided at the bottom of the bowl seat 2 , and both ends of the elastic member 3 are respectively clamped in the first limiting ring 12 and the second limiting ring 22 .
[0049] The first retaining ring 12 can be an annular protrusion or an embedded annular groove, and its shape and size match those of one end of the elastic member 3, and is used to securely clamp one end of the elastic member 3 to the bottom of the mounting groove 11. At the same time, a second retaining ring 22 is provided at the bottom of the bowl seat 2. The second retaining ring 22 can also be an annular protrusion or an embedded annular groove, and its shape and size match those of the other end of the elastic member 3, and is used to securely clamp the other end of the elastic member 3 to the bottom of the bowl seat 2.
[0050] In this way, the two ends of the elastic member 3 are respectively engaged by the first retaining ring 12 and the second retaining ring 22, forming a stable connection structure. This design not only ensures the stability of the elastic member 3 during operation of the food processor, but also prevents the elastic member 3 from falling off, shifting, or deforming due to uneven force or long-term use.
[0051] Furthermore, a limit strip 14 is provided on the side wall of the installation slot 11, and the length direction of the limit strip 14 is provided along the height direction of the installation slot 11;
[0052] The side wall of the bowl seat 2 is arranged in the limiting groove 23 , and the limiting strip 14 is adapted to the limiting groove 23 .
[0053] The cooperation between the limiting strip 14 and the limiting groove 23 limits the rotation of the bowl seat 2 along the circumferential direction of the installation groove 11 .
[0054] In actual applications, the limiting strip 14 can be in the form of a protrusion or a groove, and its shape and size are designed according to actual needs. At the same time, the side wall of the bowl base 2 is correspondingly provided with at least one limiting groove 23, the shape and size of which are adapted to the limiting strip 14 so that the limiting strip 14 can be inserted into the limiting groove 23.
[0055] When the bowl base 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the limiting strip 14 cooperates with the limiting groove 23 to limit the rotation of the bowl base 2 along the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 11. This design ensures that the bowl base 2 can maintain a stable posture without deflection or shaking when adjusting up and down or under the stirring force, thereby improving the working stability of the food processor and the stirring effect.
[0056] In this embodiment, a connection structure between the mounting groove 11 and the bowl seat 2 is further provided, specifically as follows: a plurality of first fasteners 13 are provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 11, and the plurality of first fasteners 13 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the mounting groove 11 along the circumference of the mounting groove 11;
[0057] The bowl seat 2 is provided with a second fastener 21 . When the bowl seat 2 is placed in the mounting groove 11 , the second fastener 21 and the first fastener 13 are fastened to each other.
[0058] Furthermore, the first buckle 13 includes a first buckle body 131 , and a card interface 132 is provided in the first buckle body 131 ;
[0059] The first fastener 13 includes a second fastener body 211 . A fastening block 212 is provided on the second fastener body 211 . The fastening block 212 is engaged with the card interface 132 .
[0060] The shape and size of the block 212 match the card interface 132 of the first fastener 13. When the bowl 2 is set in the installation groove 11, the block 212 of the second fastener 21 can be accurately inserted into the card interface 132 of the first fastener 13 to achieve mutual engagement.
[0061] This snap-fit connection is not only simple and easy to use, but also provides a secure connection, effectively preventing the bowl seat 2 from loosening or falling out of the mounting slot 11. Furthermore, because the first snap members 13 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting slot 11, the connection force is more uniform, improving the stability of the entire bowl seat structure. However, the interaction between the first snap members 13 and the second snap members 21 does not affect the function of the elastic member 3. In other words, the interaction between the two snap members can prevent the bowl seat 2 from separating from the base 1 without affecting its vertical movement.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] See also Figures 1-9 In this embodiment, another arrangement of the elastic member 3 is provided. The details are as follows:
[0064] The difference from Example 1 is that in this embodiment, one elastic member 3 is provided, the elastic member 3 is provided at the center of the installation slot 11 , and the axis of the elastic member 3 coincides with the axis of the installation slot 11 .
[0065] In this embodiment, the number of elastic members 3 is reduced to one, rather than the multiple members in Example 1. This single elastic member 3 is positioned at the center of the mounting slot 11, ensuring that its axis completely coincides with the axis of the mounting slot 11. This design not only simplifies the structure but also enables the elastic member 3 to more directly and effectively transmit and withstand vertical loads from the bowl seat 2, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire structure.
[0066] In order to adapt to the centrally arranged elastic member 3, the bottom of the bowl seat 2 also needs to be designed accordingly. Specifically, the bottom of the bowl seat 2 can be provided with a groove or boss that matches the elastic member 3 so as to achieve close contact and stable support with the elastic member 3.
[0067] More specifically, the cross section of the elastic member 3 of this embodiment is circular, and the diameter is greater than 2 cm, to ensure that there is sufficient contact area between the elastic member 3 and the bowl seat 2, so that the bowl seat 2 is effectively supported.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] See also Figures 1-10 In this embodiment, another arrangement of the elastic member 3 is provided. The details are as follows:
[0070] The elastic members 3 are provided in N numbers, where N is a natural number greater than 1;
[0071] At least one of the elastic members 3 is arranged at the center of the installation groove 11 ; N-1 elastic members 3 are evenly distributed in the installation groove 11 in a ring shape and are located outside the center of the installation groove 11 .
[0072] In this embodiment, by arranging the elastic member 3 at the center of the mounting groove 11 and the periphery of the center of the mounting groove 3, stable support for the bowl seat 2 can be achieved, ensuring that the bowl seat 2 will not deviate during the compression movement process, thereby ensuring that the food processor can be used stably.
[0073] Example 4
[0074] See also Figures 1-10 This embodiment provides a food processor, which includes a base 1, on which the food processor bowl seat structure as described above is provided.
[0075] The bowl structure of the food processor can be adjusted up and down, allowing users to quickly replace mixing buckets of different types and sizes according to different cooking needs without the need for additional adjustments or replacement of the food processor, greatly enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the food processor.
[0076] For example, when a mixing bucket with an interlayer is needed, the mixing bucket can be used to press down the elastic member so that the mixing bucket can be installed in the installation groove. Specifically, the side wall of the installation groove is provided with a snap structure that is engaged with the mixing bucket.
[0077] Specifically, the food processor also includes a drive system, which includes a motor, a transmission device (such as belts and gears), and a mixing head. The motor transmits power to the mixing head through the transmission device, ensuring that the ingredients in the mixing bowl are thoroughly mixed. The main body of the food processor is also equipped with safety devices to ensure the safety of the food processor during use, such as overheat protection and overload protection.
[0078] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures.
