[0114] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.

[0115] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0116] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0117] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0118] This embodiment provides a food processor for processing food. Optionally, the food processor may be an ice cream machine, a wall-breaking machine, or the like. The following description uses an ice cream machine as an example. It should be noted that any descriptions of the directions "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" below refer to the food processor's position relative to the user during normal use.

[0119] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the food processor includes a main unit 10, a cooking mechanism 20, and a door assembly 13. The main unit 10 includes a housing 11 and a drive mechanism 12. The housing 11 forms a receiving chamber with an opening, and at least a portion of the drive mechanism 12 is disposed within the receiving chamber. The cooking mechanism 20 includes a cooking container 21 and a cutter 22. The cooking container 21 is used to hold food, and the cutter 22 is detachably connected to the cooking container 21. When the cutter 22 is mounted on the cooking container 21, at least a portion of the cutter 22 is located within the cooking container 21 and is used to process the food within the cooking container 21. The cooking mechanism 20 can be inserted into the receiving chamber through the opening of the housing 11 and is coupled to the drive mechanism 12. The drive mechanism 12 is used to drive the cooking container 21 and the cutter 22 to operate, thereby processing the food within the cooking container 21.

[0120] In this embodiment, the door assembly 13 is movably connected to the housing 11. When the entire machine is powered off and the drive mechanism 12 is not operating, the door assembly 13 and the housing 11 are unlocked, allowing the user to freely operate the door assembly 13 to open or close it (i.e., block or open the opening of the housing 11) to facilitate access to and placement of the cooking actuator 20. When the drive mechanism 12 is operating, the door assembly 13 is closed (i.e., the door assembly 13 blocks the opening) and is in a locked state, meaning that the user cannot freely open the door assembly 13. This prevents the user from accidentally operating the cooking actuator 20 while the drive mechanism 12 is operating, thereby avoiding injury to the user and damage to the cooking machine's own structure, thereby improving the safety of the cooking machine. Furthermore, when the cooking machine is operating, the housing 11 and door assembly 13 enclose the drive mechanism 12 and the cooking actuator 20 in a closed structure, thereby reducing operating noise and improving the user experience.

[0121] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 11 is generally constructed as a cylindrical structure, and the opening of the housing 11 is arranged on the front side of the housing 11, so as to facilitate the user to take out and put the cooking actuator 20. In this embodiment, the size of the housing 11 in the left-right direction is smaller than the size in the front-back direction. Optionally, in this embodiment, the housing 11 includes an outer cover 111 and a boss portion 114, the outer cover 111 is arranged on the upper side of the boss portion 114, the opening is arranged on the outer cover 111, and the front side of the boss portion 114 protrudes from the outer cover 111. The protruding portion can be provided with components such as an on / off button, an indicator light, and a display screen, making the operation of the food processor more convenient and the shape more beautiful. In some embodiments, components such as an on / off button, an indicator light, and a display screen can also be arranged on the upper side of the opening of the housing 11.

[0122] In some embodiments, the door assembly 13 is pivotally connected to the housing 11, and the door assembly 13 rotates about the pivot axis to open or close the opening. In some embodiments, the door assembly 13 slides with the housing 11, that is, the door assembly 13 is configured to be opened and closed by pulling. In this manner, the door assembly 13 does not extend outside the housing 11, thereby not affecting the usable space of the food processor and improving the user experience.

[0123] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door assembly 13 is configured to slide vertically relative to the housing 11, that is, the door assembly 13 slides up and down to open and close. Specifically, the door assembly 13 opens when it slides upward, and closes when it slides downward and abuts the boss portion 114. In other embodiments, the door assembly 13 can also be configured to slide horizontally relative to the housing 11, that is, the door assembly 13 slides left and right to open and close.

[0124] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 11 further includes an inner support member 112 disposed within the outer cover 111. A slot is formed between the inner support member 112 and the outer cover 111, and the slot is connected to the opening. When the housing 11 is opened, at least a portion of the door assembly 13 is inserted into the slot, thereby partially containing the door assembly 13 within the housing 11, maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the food processor. When the door assembly 13 is closed, the housing 11 and the inner support member 112 also support and limit the door assembly 13. In addition, the inner support member 112 can also be used to support other internal structures of the food processor.

[0125] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the door assembly 13 includes a door panel 131 and a retaining member 133. The door panel 131 can slide along the slot to open or close the opening. The retaining member 133 is movably connected to the door panel 131. When the door panel 131 opens the opening of the housing 11, the retaining member 133 engages with the inner support member 112 or the outer cover 111 to lock the position of the door assembly 13 at this time. In other words, the setting of the retaining member 133 allows the door assembly 13 to remain in the open state without the need for user support, thereby improving the user experience. When the opening needs to be blocked, the retaining member 133 is operated to move relative to the door panel 131, thereby separating the retaining member 133 from the inner support member 112 or the outer cover 111. At this time, the door assembly 13 can be pulled down to close the opening.

[0126] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, when the door assembly 13 is in the open state, the retaining member 133 engages with the inner support member 112. The retaining member 133 is pivotally connected to the door panel 131, and the pivot axis of the retaining member 133 extends generally in the left-right direction. When the retaining member 133 is not operated, the retaining member 133 tends to rotate toward the inside of the housing 11 and engage with the inner support member 112. When the retaining member 133 is operated to rotate toward the outside of the housing 11, the retaining member 133 separates from the inner support member 112. In this embodiment, an elastic component is further provided between the retaining member 133 and the door panel 131. This elastic component causes the retaining member 133 to tend to rotate toward the inside of the housing 11 and abut against the inner support member 112. When the door assembly 13 is pulled up to the open state, the retaining member 133 automatically engages with the inner support member 112 under the action of the elastic component. When the user operates the retaining member 133 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic component, the retaining member 133 is separated from the inner support member 112 and unlocked, thereby allowing the door assembly 13 to be pulled from the open state to the closed state. Specifically, the elastic component can be a torsion spring.

[0127] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the door panel 131 is provided with a mounting hole 132. The retaining member 133 includes a blocking portion 1332, an operating portion 1331, and a locking hook portion 1333. The blocking portion 1332 is pivotally connected to the door panel 131 and can block the mounting hole 132 in the door panel 131 to ensure the overall sealing of the food processor. The retaining member 133 is located outside the blocking portion 1332 and is operable by the user to rotate the entire retaining member 133. The locking hook portion 1333 is located on the side of the blocking portion 1332 facing the interior of the food processor to facilitate engagement with the inner support member 112. In this embodiment, when the door assembly 13 is in the open position, the retaining member 133 engages with the top surface of the inner support member 112. In other embodiments, a slot adapted for the locking hook portion 1333 may be provided on the inner support member 112, allowing the locking hook portion 1333 to engage with the slot to maintain the door assembly 13 in the open position.

[0128] like Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism 12 includes a lifting drive assembly 123, a movable carrier 122, a spindle drive assembly 124 and a rotating spindle 121. The rotating spindle 121 extends in the vertical direction and is arranged above the movable carrier 122. The spindle drive assembly 124 can drive the rotating spindle 121 to rotate around the vertical axis. The lifting drive assembly 123 can drive the movable carrier 122 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The food processor also includes a controller (not shown), and the lifting drive assembly 123 and the spindle drive assembly 124 are both communicatively connected to the controller, that is, the controller can control the movement of the lifting drive assembly 123 and the spindle drive assembly 124 based on its stored programs, the real-time status sensed by the various sensors of the food processor and other information. In this embodiment, the controller includes a PLC.

[0129] Specifically, the lifting drive assembly 123 can at least drive the movable carrier 122 to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the second position is higher than the first position, and the first position can also be called an initial position. The movable carrier 122 is used to carry the cooking execution mechanism 20. Figure 4 As shown, when the movable carrier 122 is in the first position, it faces the opening of the housing 11, allowing the user to slide the cooking actuator 20 onto the movable carrier 122. When the lifting drive assembly 123 drives the movable carrier 122 from the first position to the second position, the rotating spindle 121 is inserted into the cooking container 21 and coupled with the cutting tool 22. The rotating spindle 121 can then drive the cutting tool 22 to rotate within the cooking container 21, thereby processing the food in the cooking container 21.

[0130] like Figure 4As shown, the lifting drive assembly 123 includes a lifting motor 1231, a lifting transmission assembly 1232, and a lifting screw 1233. The lifting screw 1233 extends vertically and is rotatably disposed within the housing 11. The lifting transmission assembly 1232 is connected to the lifting motor 1231 and the lifting screw 1233. The movable carrier 122 is sleeved on the lifting screw 1233 and threadedly engaged with the lifting screw 1233. When the lifting motor 1231 is in operation, the lifting transmission assembly 1232 transmits rotational motion to the lifting screw 1233. The rotation of the lifting screw 1233 drives the movable carrier 122 to move upward and downward. The lifting transmission assembly 1232 connects the lifting motor 1231 and the lifting screw 1233, allowing the lifting motor 1231 and the lifting screw 1233 to be arranged horizontally. Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly 1233 can be positioned next to the movable carrier 122, eliminating the need to occupy space below the movable carrier 122. This helps reduce the height of the food processor and enhances its center of gravity. Specifically, the lifting transmission assembly 1232 may be a gear reduction structure. The lifting screw 1233 may be supported on the inner support member 112 via bearings and other components. The lifting transmission assembly 1232 may be a speed reducer. The lifting motor 1231 is communicatively connected to a controller, which can control the forward and reverse rotation of the lifting motor 1231, thereby driving the movable vehicle 122 to ascend or descend. In other embodiments, the lifting transmission assembly may also be a belt drive assembly, which will not be further described here.

[0131] In order to improve the lifting stability of the movable vehicle 122, Figure 5 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 123 also includes a lifting guide rod 1234, which is vertically arranged in the housing 11, and the movable carrier 122 is sleeved on the lifting guide rod 1234. The lifting guide rod 1234 guides the movement of the movable carrier 122 to ensure the movement accuracy and lifting stability of the movable carrier 122. In this embodiment, the lifting guide rod 1234 is provided with multiple Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of matching holes 1225 are provided on the movable carrier 122 , and each lifting guide rod 1234 is slidably matched with a matching hole 1225 .

[0132] like Figure 4 、 Figure 4-1 、 Figure 4-2As shown, the spindle drive assembly 124 includes a rotary motor 1241, an extension shaft 1242, and a rotary transmission assembly 1243. The rotary motor 1241 is mounted within the housing 11, located at the bottom of the housing 11 and behind the movable carrier 122. The extension shaft 1242 extends vertically, with its lower end connected to the output of the rotary motor 1241 and its upper end extending to the top of the housing 11. The rotary transmission assembly 1243 is positioned at the top of the housing 11 and arranged in a front-to-back direction. The input end of the rotary transmission assembly 1243 is connected to the upper end of the extension shaft 1242, and the output end of the rotary transmission assembly 1243 is connected to the rotating spindle 121. The provision of the extension shaft 1242 allows the rotary motor 1241 to be positioned at the bottom of the food processor, positioning the center of gravity as low as possible. This reduces vibration during operation and improves the user experience. By providing a rotating transmission assembly 1243 extending in the front-to-back direction, the rotating motor 1241 and the movable carrier 122 can be arranged in the front-to-back direction, thereby making the size of the food processor in the width direction (ie, the left-to-right direction) more compact.

[0133] In this embodiment, the rotation transmission assembly 1243 includes a first transmission wheel 12431, a second transmission wheel 12432, and a flexible member 12433. The first transmission wheel 12431 and the second transmission wheel 12432 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The first transmission wheel 12431 is located at the rear and connected to the upper end of the extension shaft 1242, while the second transmission wheel 12432 is located at the front and connected to the upper end of the rotation main shaft 121. The flexible member 12433 is sleeved over the first and second transmission wheels 12431, 12432 and respectively engages in transmission with the first and second transmission wheels 12431, 12432. The coordination of the first and second transmission wheels 12431, 12432, and the flexible member 12433 enables transmission with a larger interaxial spacing. In this embodiment, the first and second transmission wheels 12431, 12432 are pulleys, and the flexible member 12433 is a belt. In other embodiments, the first transmission wheel 12431 and the second transmission wheel 12432 may also be configured as sprockets, and the flexible member 12433 may be a chain.

[0134] Preferably, if Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the host 10 further includes a locking member 14, which is movably connected to the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 is in the first position (i.e. Figure 6 When the movable assembly leaves the first position (eg Figure 7When the movable carrier 122 is in the second position (shown), the lock 14 locks the door assembly 13. That is, when the movable carrier 122 is in the initial position, the user can freely open the door assembly 13. However, once the cooking actuator 20 is assembled and the drive mechanism 12 begins operating, the movable carrier 122 leaves the initial position, and the lock 14 automatically and mechanically locks the door assembly 13, preventing the user from opening the door assembly 13. This embodiment utilizes the lock 14 and the operation of the movable carrier 122 to achieve automatic mechanical locking of the door assembly 13, resulting in high locking reliability and no need for an additional drive mechanism, resulting in a simple structure and low cost.

[0135] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 14 is pivotally connected to the housing 11 and has a first engaging portion 141 and a second engaging portion 142 located on both sides of the pivot axis. Figure 6 As shown, when the movable carrier 122 is located at the first position, the movable carrier 122 presses the first matching portion 141 to separate the second matching portion 142 from the door assembly 13, and the door assembly 13 is unlocked. Figure 7 As shown, when the movable carrier 122 leaves the first position, it separates from the first mating portion 141, and the second mating portion 142 moves toward and locks with the door assembly 13. In this embodiment, the food processor further includes an elastic return member 151, the ends of which are connected to the housing 11 and the locking member 14, respectively. The elastic return member 151 forces the second mating portion 142 to move toward the door assembly 13. The provision of the elastic return member 151 ensures that the locking member 14 is locked with the door assembly 13 after the movable carrier 122 leaves the first position.

[0136] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, the elastic reset member 151 can be a spring, a tension spring, etc. In this embodiment, a guide portion 143 is provided on the locking member 14. The guide portion 143 is constructed as a cylindrical structure. The elastic reset member 151 is partially provided in the guide portion 143. The guide portion 143 is provided to facilitate the fixed installation of the elastic reset member 151 and to limit the elastic reset member 151. Figure 7 As shown, a guide surface 144 is provided on the side of the first mating portion 141 facing the movable carrier 122. The guide surface 144 is used to prevent the movable carrier 122 from rigidly colliding with the locking member 14 when moving from the second position to the first position, thereby increasing the service life of the food processor. Optionally, the guide surface 144 can be composed of multiple inclined surfaces; in some embodiments, the guide surface 144 can also be configured as an arc surface, which is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the second mating portion 142 is configured as a hook structure, and the inner surface of the door assembly 13 is provided with a hook groove 134. The hook structure can be hooked into the hook groove 134 to lock the door assembly 13 in the closed state.

[0137] In this embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the movable carrier 122 is located inside the inner support 112. The inner support 112 is provided with an escape opening 1122. The locking member 14 is pivotally connected to the inner side of the inner support 112. The first engaging portion 141 of the locking member 14 is located inside the inner support 112 to engage with the movable carrier 122. The second engaging portion 142 of the locking member 14 can extend from the escape opening 1122 to the outside of the inner support 112 to engage with the door assembly 13.

[0138] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the food processor includes two locking members 14, one on each side of the opening. Providing two locking members 14 not only balances the forces on both sides of the door assembly 13 but also improves the reliability of the mechanical locking of the door assembly 13. In other embodiments, the number of locking members 14 can be flexibly set.

[0139] like Figure 8 As shown, the food processor also includes a door sensor 175, which is in communication with the controller. When the door assembly 13 blocks the opening, the door sensor 175 can be triggered. After being triggered, the door sensor 175 can send a signal to the controller indicating that the door assembly 13 has blocked the opening. Only after receiving the signal that the door assembly 13 has blocked the opening can the controller control the lift drive assembly 123 and the spindle drive assembly 124 to start operating, thereby ensuring that the drive mechanism 12 does not move when the door assembly 13 is in the open state, further improving the safety of the food processor. Optionally, the door sensor 175 can be a micro switch. In other embodiments, the door sensor 175 can also be a proximity switch, etc.

[0140] In order to facilitate the user to take and place the cooking execution mechanism 20, the movable carrier 122 and the rotating spindle 121 are arranged at the front position in the housing 11. In order to ensure the overall compact structure of the cooking machine, the space near the door assembly 13 is relatively small. Figure 8As shown, the food processor also includes a trigger rod 176, which extends in the front-to-back direction and slides with the housing 11. A door sensor 175 is disposed at the rear of the interior of the housing 11. When the door assembly 13 blocks the opening, the trigger rod 176 is pushed to slide, thereby triggering the door sensor 175. By providing the trigger rod 176, the door sensor 175 can be arranged in the rear area of ​​the housing 11, where there is more space, thereby ensuring the overall compactness of the food processor. In this embodiment, the trigger rod 176 slides with the inner support member 112. Specifically, the outer surface of the inner support member 112 is provided with a protrusion 1121, which is formed with a slideway, along which the trigger rod 176 can slide. When the door assembly 13 is pulled downward to close, the door assembly 13 pushes the trigger rod 176 to slide rearward along the slideway, thereby triggering the door sensor 175. When the door assembly 13 is pulled upward to open, the trigger rod 176 moves forward along the slideway under the elastic force of the door sensor 175 itself, so as to be triggered when the door assembly 13 is closed. It should be noted that the number and distribution of the protrusions 1121 can be flexibly set according to needs, while ensuring that the trigger rod 176 can slide in the front-to-back direction.

[0141] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the movable carrier 122 includes a cylindrical body 1221. A mounting opening 1222 is provided on the sidewall of the cylindrical body 1221. When the movable carrier 122 is in the first position, the mounting opening 1222 is opposite the opening of the housing 11, making it easier for the user to install the cooking mechanism 20 within the movable carrier 122. On the one hand, the cylindrical body 1221 fully surrounds the cooking container 21, preventing the cooking container 21 from interfering with or colliding with other structures within the housing 11 due to improper placement. On the other hand, the cylindrical body 1221 also shields the internal structures of the housing 11. When the door assembly 13 is opened, other internal structures of the housing 11 are not exposed, improving the aesthetics. In this embodiment, the lower end of the mounting opening 1222 extends to the bottom plate of the cylindrical body 1221. Therefore, the user can place the cooking mechanism 20 on the bottom plate of the cylindrical body 1221 and push it inward along the bottom plate into place.

[0142] In this embodiment, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the upper side of the bottom plate of the cylinder 1221 is provided with a guide groove 1226 extending forward and backward. The bottom of the cooking container 21 is provided with a guide protrusion 2116, which slides into the guide groove 1226. The cooperation between the guide protrusion 2116 and the guide groove 1226 ensures the relative position accuracy of the cooking actuator 20 and the movable carrier 122 in the left-right direction.

[0143] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, a resilient snap-fit ​​assembly 1224 is mounted on the bottom of the movable carrier 122. A limiting groove 2114 is provided on the bottom of the cooking container 21. The resilient snap-fit ​​assembly 1224 engages with the limiting groove 2114 to retain the cooking container 21. The coordination between the resilient snap-fit ​​assembly 1224 and the limiting groove 2114 ensures the relative positional accuracy of the cooking actuator 20 and the movable carrier 122 in the left-right direction, and prevents movement of the cooking actuator 20 during the raising and lowering process.

[0144] Specifically, if Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the bottom of the movable carrier 122 is provided with a receiving chamber 2115, and the wall panel surrounding the receiving chamber is provided on the lower side of the bottom plate of the cylinder 1221. The elastic snap assembly 1224 includes a snap member 12241 and a second elastic member 12242 installed in the receiving chamber 2115. The two ends of the second elastic member 12242 are respectively connected to the movable carrier 122 and the snap member 12241, so that the snap member 12241 can be retracted downward into the receiving chamber 2115 to avoid the insertion of the cooking actuator 20, or extended upward from the receiving chamber 2115 to cooperate with the limiting groove 2114. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 12242 can be a spring. The upper end of the receiving chamber 2115 extends upward through the bottom plate of the cylinder 1221 to allow the snap member 12241 to extend upward. The lower end of the accommodating chamber 2115 is open, facilitating the insertion of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 1224 into the accommodating chamber 2115. The movable carrier 122 also includes a cover plate 1228, which is detachably connected to the barrel 1221 and seals the lower end of the accommodating chamber 2115, thereby preventing the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 1224 from falling out of the accommodating chamber 2115. Optionally, the cover plate 1228 and the barrel 1221 may be connected by screws.

[0145] like Figure 11 As shown, the clamping member 12241 is provided with a first inclined surface 12243 and a second inclined surface 12244. The first inclined surface 12243 is configured to guide the clamping member 12241 into the retaining groove 2114. In this embodiment, the first inclined surface 12243 is disposed toward the front and extends obliquely downward from the back to the front. The second inclined surface 12244 is configured to guide the clamping member 12241 out of the retaining groove 2114. In this embodiment, the second inclined surface 12244 is disposed toward the rear and extends obliquely upward from the back to the front.

[0146] like Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the cooking container 21 includes a cooking cup 211 and a cup lid 212. The top of the cooking cup 211 is provided with an inlet for the user to place food into the cooking cup 211. The cup lid 212 can be screwed onto the top of the cooking cup 211 to seal the inlet. The cutter 22 is releasably mounted on the cooking container 21. In this embodiment, the cup lid 212 is provided with a through-hole 2120 for mounting the cutter 22. Furthermore, the through-hole 2120 is provided for the rotating spindle 121 to extend therethrough for coupling with the cutter 22. Specifically, the cooking container 21 also includes a magnetic member 213, which is connected to the cup lid 212. The cutter 22 includes a hub 221 and a blade 222 connected to the hub 221. The blade 222 can be one or more blades. The hub 221 can be inserted from bottom to top into the through-hole 2120 of the cup lid 212 and engage with the magnetic member 213.

[0147] When using the cooking actuator 20, first insert part of the hub 221 into the through hole 2120 and engage with the magnetic part 213, so that the cutter 22 is installed on the cup cover 212; then put the food into the cooking cup 211, and then screw the cup cover 212 and the cooking cup 211 together, and then the cooking actuator 20 is assembled into a whole. When an external force pushes the hub 221 downward and overcomes the attraction force of the magnetic part 213 on the cutter 22, the cutter 22 can move downward and separate from the cup cover 212. In this embodiment, an installation cavity 2123 is formed in the cup cover 212, and the magnetic part 213 is installed in the installation cavity 2123. The magnetic part 213 is a magnet and has a circular ring shape. The hub 221 is made of a metal material that can be attracted to the magnetic part 213. The magnetic part 213 is arranged around the outer periphery of the side wall of the through hole 2120, so as to provide a uniform attraction force to the cutter 22. It should be noted that, if Figure 9 As shown, the top plate of movable carrier 122 is provided with a clearance hole 1227. When cooking actuator 20 is mounted on movable carrier 122 in the first position, clearance hole 1227 is aligned with through-hole 2120 of cooking container 21 and is located directly below rotating spindle 121. Rotating spindle 121 can pass through clearance hole 1227 and couple with hub 221 located within through-hole 2120.

[0148] like Figure 15-17As shown, the lifting drive assembly 123 can drive the movable carrier 122 to reciprocate between the first position, the second position, and the third position, where the first position, the second position, and the third position are arranged in sequence from bottom to top along the vertical direction. When the movable carrier 122 is in the first position, the user can take and place the cooking actuator 20; after the movable carrier 122 moves from the first position to the second position, the rotating spindle 121 is coupled with the cutting tool 22; when the movable carrier 122 moves between the second position and the third position, the cutting tool 22 remains coupled with the rotating spindle 121 and is separated from the cooking container 21; when the movable carrier 122 returns from the third position to the second position, the cutting tool 22 is re-supported on the cooking container 21; when the movable carrier 122 moves from the second position to the first position, the cutting tool 22 is separated from the rotating spindle 121. Specifically, the general working process of the food processor is as follows:

[0149] First, movable carrier 122 is in the first position. The user opens door assembly 13 and slides cooking mechanism 20 onto movable carrier 122. The user then closes door assembly 13. Next, the user triggers the corresponding button on the control panel, and lift drive assembly 123 drives movable carrier 122 and cooking mechanism 20 upward in sync. When movable carrier 122 reaches the second position, the lower end of rotating spindle 121 extends into through-hole 2120 of movable carrier 122 and couples with hub 221. Next, the spindle drive assembly 124 rotates the rotating spindle 121, driving the cutter 22. Simultaneously, the lift drive assembly 123 drives the movable carrier 122 upward toward the third position. Driven by the rotating spindle 121, the cutter 22 rotates at a constant height and separates from the cup lid 212. During this process, the cooking container 21 moves upward relative to the cutter 22, allowing the rotating cutter 22 to process food at different depths within the cooking container 21. When the movable carrier 122 reaches the third position, the lift drive assembly 123 stops driving the movable carrier 122. In the third position, the spindle drive assembly 124 operates for 1 to 15 seconds. Then, the lift drive assembly 123 drives the movable carrier 122 downward toward the second position. During this process, the cutter 22 sequentially processes food at different depths within the cooking cup 211. When the movable carrier 122 moves to the second position, the cutter 22 reengages the cup lid 212, and the spindle drive assembly 124 stops driving the rotating spindle 121, completing the food processing. Next, the lifting drive assembly 123 continues to drive the movable carrier 122 downward toward the first position. During this process, the rotating spindle 121 separates from the cutter 22, and ultimately, the movable carrier 122, the cooking container 21, and the cutter 22 all move to the first position. Once the movable carrier 122 reaches the first position, the locking member 14 is triggered to unlock the door assembly 13, allowing the user to open the door assembly 13 and remove the cooking actuator 20.

[0150] In order to realize the automatic separation and coupling between the rotating spindle 121 and the tool 22, a plurality of first spiral ribs extending to the bottom are provided on the circumference of the rotating spindle 121. The first spiral ribs extend spirally around the axis of the rotating spindle 121, and a gap is provided between two adjacent first spiral ribs. Figure 14 As shown, the hub 221 is provided with a central countersunk hole 2212, and a plurality of second spiral ribs are provided on the inner wall of the central countersunk hole 2212. The second spiral ribs extend spirally along the axis of the central countersunk hole 2212 and engage with the vacancies. Since the cutter 22 is attracted to the cup cover 212 by the magnetic member 213, the cutter 22 can adaptively rotate around the axis of the hub 221 relative to the cup cover 212, thereby enabling the rotating spindle 121 and the cutter 22 to be automatically assembled when the cooking actuator 20 rises, and automatically separated when the cooking actuator 20 descends. In some embodiments, during the coupling process between the rotating spindle 121 and the hub 221, the rotating spindle 121 rotates at a low speed to ensure a smoother coupling process between the two; the rotating spindle 121 switches to a high rotational motion after running at a low speed for a preset time. The above-mentioned preset time can be 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0151] like Figure 15 As shown, the host 10 also includes a first trigger component, which includes a first sensor 171 and a first trigger component 18. The first sensor 171 is communicatively connected to the controller. The first trigger component 18 is movably connected to the cup cover 212 and has a trigger position and a release position. Specifically, when the tool 22 is attracted to the cup cover 212, the first trigger component 18 moves to the trigger position. At this time, the cooking actuator 20 is installed on the movable carrier 122. The first trigger component 18 can trigger the first sensor 171. The first sensor 171 sends a signal to the controller that the tool 22 is installed in place, avoiding the situation where the tool 22 is missing and the rotating spindle 121 runs without load. Specifically, the controller can be set to not control the operation of the lifting drive component 123 and the spindle drive component 124 when it does not receive the tool 22 installed in place signal sent by the first sensor 171 (the first sensor is not closed). In this embodiment, the first sensing member 171 is installed on the top plate of the cylinder 1221, so that during the lifting and lowering of the movable carrier 122, the relative positions of the first sensing member 171 and the first triggering member 18 remain unchanged, thereby ensuring that the first sensing member 171 is always in the triggered state.

[0152] In this embodiment, first sensing element 171 may be a microswitch, and first triggering element 18 directly contacts first sensing element 171 to trigger first sensing element 171. In this embodiment, first triggering element 18 is a simple mechanical component and does not require any circuit connections, resulting in a simple structure and ease of implementation. In other embodiments, first triggering element 18 may be the transmitting end of a photoelectric sensor, and first sensing element 171 may be the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor. When first triggering element 18 is in the trigger position, it faces first sensing element 171, allowing first sensing element 171 to receive the signal emitted by first triggering element 18.

[0153] In this embodiment, Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 18 As shown, the cup cover 212 includes a bottom shell 2122 and an upper cover 2121. The upper cover 2121 is mounted on the bottom shell 2122 and forms a mounting cavity 2123. The first trigger member 18 is at least partially located within the mounting cavity 2123. A first avoidance opening 2124 is provided on the upper side of the cup cover 212, i.e., the upper cover 2121. The first trigger member 18 includes a trigger portion 181. When the first trigger member 18 is in the released position, the trigger portion 181 is accommodated within the mounting cavity 2123. When the first trigger member 18 is in the triggered position, the trigger portion 181 extends out of the mounting cavity 2123 from the first avoidance opening 2124. This facilitates the trigger portion 181 to contact and trigger the first sensing member 171. Furthermore, it allows the user to visually determine whether the tool 22 is installed by observing whether the trigger portion 181 protrudes from the outside of the upper cover 2121, thereby preventing the tool 22 from being missed.

[0154] like Figure 13 、 Figures 18-20 As shown, the first trigger assembly further includes a linkage member 191, a first end of which is disposed in the mounting cavity 2123 and pivotally connected to the first trigger member 18. When the cutter 22 is not mounted on the cup cover 212, the second end of the linkage member 191 extends from the mounting cavity 2123 into the through hole 2120. When the cutter 22 is mounted on the cup cover 212, the hub 221 presses against the linkage member 191 and radially retracts into the cup cover 212. The first trigger member 18 rotates about the pivot axis between the first trigger member 18 and the linkage member 191, thereby switching from the release position to the trigger position. During this process, the first trigger member 18 generates an axial upward displacement and a radial outward displacement, thereby causing the trigger portion 181 to extend from the cup cover 212 to the upper surface of the cup cover 212.

[0155] In this embodiment, Figure 19 As shown, the bottom shell 2122 is provided with a guide hole 2129 extending in the radial direction, and the linkage member 191 is slidably matched with the guide hole 2129. The guide hole 2129 is used to limit the linkage member 191 to move in a straight line when it is pushed by the hub 221. Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown, a limiting rib 2127 is provided within the mounting cavity 2123. The limiting rib 2127 encloses a limiting space 2128, which is respectively connected to the guide hole 2129 and the first avoidance opening 2124. The limiting space 2128 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the first trigger member 18, so that the first trigger member 18 can generate a radially outward and axially upward movement trajectory when switching from the release position to the trigger position. In this embodiment, two limiting ribs 2127 are provided on the side of the bottom shell 2122 facing the upper cover 2121 and the side of the upper cover 2121 facing the bottom plate. The two limiting ribs 2127 on the upper cover 2121 and the two limiting ribs 2127 on the bottom shell 2122 correspond to each other and abut against each other to form the limiting space 2128.

[0156] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the first trigger assembly further includes a first elastic member 192, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the cup cover 212 and the other end is connected to the first trigger member 18. The first elastic member 192 tends to position the first trigger member 18 in the released position, thereby maintaining the first trigger member 18 in the released position when the cutter 22 is not installed on the cup cover 212. When the cutter 22 is installed on the cup cover 212, the linkage member 191 radially retracts into the cup cover 212. Due to the obstruction of the first elastic member 192, the first trigger member 18 rotates counterclockwise about the pivot axis between it and the linkage member 191, thereby causing the trigger portion 181 to extend from the first avoidance opening 2124 on the upper side of the cup cover 212. Alternatively, the first elastic member 192 may be a tension spring, and hook holes are provided on both the first trigger member 18 and the bottom shell 2122, with hooks at each end of the tension spring being mounted in the hook holes.

[0157] like Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, a snap-in groove 2117 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the cooking cup 211. The snap-in groove 2117 is L-shaped and includes a vertical groove section and a horizontal groove section. The top end of the vertical groove section passes through the top end surface of the cooking cup 211. A snap-in block 214 is provided at the bottom of the cup lid 212. When placing the cup lid 212 on the cooking cup 211, first align the snap-in block 214 with the vertical groove section, press the cup lid 212 downward to insert the snap-in block 214 into the vertical groove section, and then rotate the cup lid 212 to insert the snap-in block 214 into the horizontal groove section, thereby achieving the screw-in connection between the cup lid 212 and the cooking cup 211. The operation is convenient and the connection between the two is reliable. The process of removing the cup lid 212 from the cooking cup 211 is the opposite of the process of placing the cup lid on the cooking cup 211.

[0158] like Figure 23As shown, the cooking cup 211 includes a cup body 2111 and a limiting portion 2112 provided on the cup body 2111, and the limiting portion 2112 protrudes from the upper surface of the cup body 2111. Figure 19 、 Figure 22-Figure 25 As shown, the first trigger member 18 also includes a mating portion 182. When the cutter 22 is not installed on the cup cover 212, the first trigger member 18 is in the released position. At this time, the mating portion 182 and the limiting portion 2112 are located on a circumference with the same diameter, thereby interfering with each other in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing the cup cover 212 and the cooking cup 211 from being fully screwed together. In other words, when the cutter 22 is not installed on the cup cover 212, the cup cover 212 and the cooking cup 211 cannot be assembled together, thereby reminding the user to install the cutter 22 and avoiding the situation where the cutter 22 is missing. When the cutter 22 is installed on the cup cover 212, the first trigger member 18 is displaced radially outward, thereby causing at least part of the mating portion 182 and the limiting portion 2112 to be offset in the radial direction, ensuring that the cup cover 212 and the cooking cup 211 can be fully screwed together.

[0159] Specifically, if Figure 19 and Figure 22 As shown, a second avoidance opening 2126 is provided on the lower side of the cup cover 212, i.e., the bottom shell 2122. The first trigger member 18 is generally L-shaped and includes a first section and a second section. The first section extends generally radially along the cup cover 212 and is connected to the linkage member 191. The trigger portion 181 is a protruding structure constructed on the upper side of the first end. The second section forms a mating portion 182, which extends from the second avoidance opening 2126 to interfere with the limiting portion 2112. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 2112 is provided protrudingly on the upper surface of the second alignment portion 2125. The second avoidance opening 2126 is located on the lower surface of the first alignment portion 2113. In order to allow the limiting portion 2112 to abut against and interfere with the matching portion 182, an avoidance groove 2130 is further provided on the lower surface of the cup cover 212. The avoidance groove 2130 extends circumferentially, and one end is connected to the second avoidance opening 2126, and the other end passes through one side of the first alignment portion 2113 along the circumferential direction. When the cup cover 212 is installed on the cooking cup 211, the limiting portion 2112 moves circumferentially to the second avoidance opening 2126 through the avoidance groove 2130 to match with the matching portion 182. In this embodiment, Figure 26 As shown, a notch 183 is provided at the lower end of the mating portion 182 and on one side near the center of the cooking cup 211. When the first trigger member 18 is in the trigger position, at least a portion of the mating portion 182 is offset from the limiting portion 2112. The limiting portion 2112 is opposite to the notch 183. The limiting portion 2112 can extend circumferentially into the notch 183, thereby allowing the cup cover 212 and the cooking cup 211 to be fully screwed together.

[0160] like Figure 13As shown, the cooking cup 211 is configured with a first alignment portion 2113, which is configured to protrude from the circumference of the cooking cup 211. The cup cover 212 is configured with a second alignment portion 2125, which is configured to protrude from the circumference of the cooking cup 211. When the knife 22 is installed on the cooking cup 211, the first trigger member 18 is in the trigger position, and the first alignment portion 2113 is aligned with the second alignment portion 2125. Figure 24 As shown, when the knife 22 is not installed on the food processing cup 211, the first trigger member 18 is in the released position. Due to the interference between the mating portion 182 and the stop portion 2112, the first alignment portion 2113 and the second alignment portion 2125 cannot be aligned vertically. The provision of the first alignment portion 2113 and the second alignment portion 2125 facilitates the user's ability to determine whether the cup lid 212 and the food processing cup 211 are fully screwed together.

[0161] like Figure 14 and Figure 26 As shown, after the limiting portion 2112 extends into the notch 183 along the circumferential direction, it is supported below the mating portion 182, thereby maintaining the first triggering member 18 in the triggered position. Therefore, after the tool 22 is coupled to the rotating spindle 121 and separated from the cup cover 212, the first triggering member 18 can still maintain the state of triggering the first sensing member 171, thereby preventing the rotating spindle 121 from stopping rotation after the tool 22 is separated from the cup cover 212.

[0162] like Figure 26 As shown, the upper sidewall of the notch 183 is configured as an inclined surface 1831, which is configured to guide the stopper 2112 into the notch 183. The provision of this inclined surface 1831 prevents collision between the stopper 2112 and the mating portion 182 during the screwing of the cup lid 212 and the cooking cup 211. In this embodiment, the height of the inclined surface 1831 gradually decreases as the stopper 2112 approaches the mating portion 182.

[0163] like Figure 15 As shown, the food processor also includes a second sensor 172, which is installed in the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 is in the first position, the second sensor 172 is triggered. The second sensor 172 can send a signal that the movable carrier 122 is in the initial state. This signal can serve as a trigger condition for the lifting drive assembly 123 to drive the movable carrier 122 to start rising. In this embodiment, the second sensor 172 is a micro switch. Optionally, the second sensor 172 can be fixed on the movable carrier 122. When the movable carrier 122 reaches the first position, the structure on the housing 11 contacts the second sensor 172 and triggers the second sensor 172. In other embodiments, the second sensor 172 can be fixed on the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 reaches the first position, the movable carrier 122 triggers the second sensor 172.

[0164] like Figure 16 As shown, the food processor also includes a third sensor 173, which is installed in the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 reaches and is higher than the second position, the third sensor 173 is triggered. The third sensor 173 can send a signal that the cutter 22 and the rotating spindle 121 are in a coupled state. This signal can serve as a trigger condition for the spindle drive assembly 124 to drive the rotating spindle 121 to rotate. In this embodiment, the third sensor is a micro switch. Optionally, the third sensor 173 is fixed to the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 moves to the second position, the outer wall of the movable carrier 122 presses against and triggers the third sensor 173. In the process of the movable carrier 122 moving between the second position and the third position, the movable carrier 122 always keeps the third sensor 173 in a triggered state.

[0165] like Figure 17 As shown, the food processor also includes a fourth sensor 174, which is installed in the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 is in the third position, the fourth sensor 174 is triggered. The fourth sensor 174 can send a signal that the movable carrier 122 has reached the highest position. This signal can serve as a trigger condition for the lifting drive assembly 123 to drive the movable carrier 122 to start descending. In this embodiment, the fourth sensor 174 is a micro switch. Optionally, the fourth sensor 174 can be fixed to the housing 11. When the movable carrier 122 moves to the third position, the structure on the movable carrier 122 triggers the fourth sensor 174. Specifically, a second trigger is provided on the movable carrier 122, and the second trigger is used to trigger the fourth sensor 174. Optionally, the second trigger and the movable carrier 122 can be provided as an integrally formed structure, or they can be formed separately and then connected together by a connecting structure. In other embodiments, the fourth sensing element 174 may also be fixed on the movable carrier 122 . When the movable carrier 122 moves to the third position, the fourth sensing element 174 contacts the structure on the housing 11 and is triggered.

[0166] In this embodiment, the door sensor 175, the first sensor 171, the second sensor 172, the third sensor 173, and the fourth sensor 174 are all in communication with the controller and the control panel. The controller receives signals from the door sensor 175, the first sensor 171, the second sensor 172, the third sensor 173, and the fourth sensor 174, and controls the operation of the lift drive assembly 123 and the spindle drive assembly 124 based on these signals.

[0167] Specifically, the controller is configured to activate the lift drive assembly 123 only after the door sensor 175, the first sensor 171, and the second sensor 172 are all activated. In other words, the lift drive assembly 123 only drives the movable carrier 122 upward when the door assembly 13 is closed, the cooking container 21 and the cutter 22 are in place, and the movable carrier 122 is in its initial position, thereby improving the safety of the food processor.

[0168] Furthermore, during the process of the lifting drive assembly 123 driving the movable carrier 122 to ascend, after the third sensor 173 is triggered, the controller causes the lifting drive assembly 123 to pause driving for a first preset time. After a second preset time after the third sensor 173 is triggered, the controller controls the spindle drive assembly 124 to rotate the rotating spindle 121. When the third sensor 173 is triggered, it indicates that the movable carrier 122 has moved to the second position (in the second position, the tool 22 is both attracted to the cup cover 212 and coupled to the rotating spindle 121). Since the rotating spindle 121 can only be coupled or decoupled with the tool 22 when it is not rotating, by controlling the lifting drive assembly 123 to pause ascending for the first preset time and the rotating spindle 121 to delay rotating for the second preset time, time is reserved for the tool 22 to fine-tune its position, thereby ensuring reliable coupling between the tool 22 and the rotating spindle 121. Optionally, the first preset time and the second preset time can be the same or different, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set them as needed. In this embodiment, the first preset time and the second preset time are the same, and can be 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., which are not specifically limited here. In other embodiments, the first preset time and the second preset time can also be different, and the specific time can be selected as needed. In another embodiment, one or both of the first preset time and the second preset time can also be set to 0 seconds.

[0169] Furthermore, the controller is further configured to control the lifting drive assembly 123 to lower the movable carrier 122 after a fourth preset time has passed since the fourth sensor 174 was triggered. The fourth sensor 174 acts as an electronic limiter for the movable carrier 122, preventing it from colliding with the housing 11. Setting the fourth preset time allows the knife 22 to fully process the food at the bottom of the cooking container 21, thereby achieving the desired processing effect. Optionally, the fourth preset time can be 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., without specific limitation herein. In other embodiments, the fourth preset time can also be 0 seconds.

[0170] Furthermore, in the process of the lifting drive assembly 123 driving the movable carrier 122 to descend, the controller can also control the spindle drive assembly 124 to stop driving the rotating spindle 121 to rotate after the movable carrier 122 descends to leave the second position (that is, the third sensor 173 switches from the trigger state to the release state), and control the lifting drive assembly 123 to first pause driving the movable carrier 122 and then drive the movable carrier 122 to descend after the third preset time. Since the rotating spindle 121 can only be separated from the tool 22 when it is not rotating, the third preset time during which the controller controls the movable carrier 122 to pause is left to allow time for the rotating spindle 121 to brake, thereby ensuring that the rotating spindle 121 can be smoothly separated from the tool 22. Optionally, the third preset time can be 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., which are not specifically limited here. In other embodiments, the third preset time can also be 0s.

[0171] This embodiment further provides a food processor control method for controlling the food processor, which is specifically as follows:

[0172] Receive signals indicating that the door sensor 175 is triggered, the first sensor 171 is triggered, and the second sensor 172 is triggered;

[0173] Receive a food processor start signal;

[0174] Controlling the lifting drive assembly 123 to drive the movable carrier 122 to rise;

[0175] receiving a signal that the third sensing element 173 is triggered;

[0176] Control the lifting drive assembly 123 to pause for a first preset time and then continue to drive the movable carrier 122 to rise; and control the spindle drive assembly 124 to drive the rotating spindle 121 to rotate after a second preset time;

[0177] receiving a signal that the fourth sensor 174 is triggered;

[0178] Controlling the lifting drive assembly 123 to pause for a fourth preset time and then drive the movable carrier 122 to descend;

[0179] receiving a signal that the third sensing element 173 is released;

[0180] Control the lifting drive assembly 123 to pause for a third preset time and then continue to drive the movable carrier 122 to descend; and control the spindle drive assembly 124 to stop driving the rotating spindle 121;

[0181] receiving a signal that the second sensing element 172 is triggered;

[0182] The lifting drive assembly 123 is controlled to stop driving the movable carrier 122 to descend.

[0183] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will, based on the concept of the present invention, vary the specific implementation methods and scope of application, and the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
