[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2023110188567 entitled “Food Chopper”, filed on August 11, 2023, the disclosure of which is considered part of the disclosure of this application and is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing electrical appliances technology, specifically relating to a food chopper that achieves reduced-speed food chopping by selectively configuring a second processing component, and a processing sub-component. Background Technology

[0004] The food chopper involved in this application uses a motor to drive the blades to rotate at high speed to chop food. Because the blades of the food chopper are low, it is usually necessary to add a fluid such as water to chop the food materials. Therefore, some manufacturers call it a food blender.

[0005] Without fluid assistance, it can only effectively act on ingredients that are in contact with the bottom, thus limiting its application range. It performs poorly, especially when processing non-fluid ingredients such as minced meat, seasonings, and fillings that need to maintain a certain particle size. Although the cutting effect can be controlled by reducing the amount of ingredients added at one time, this is not only inefficient but may also lead to excessively finely chopped ingredients. Furthermore, the small processing volume increases the inconvenience of handling the ingredients and makes it difficult to meet diverse cooking needs.

[0006] Furthermore, cleaning is a major challenge for this type of equipment. It is difficult to thoroughly clean, easily breeds odors, and can lead to hygiene and safety hazards. Therefore, for home or commercial kitchens that need to perform diverse processing tasks such as mincing meat and cutting seasonings simultaneously, it is often necessary to purchase additional equipment such as meat grinders, which undoubtedly increases the financial burden and occupies valuable kitchen space.

[0007] For the reasons mentioned above, people need to purchase multiple devices, which is costly and takes up a lot of space. Summary of the Invention

[0008] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem of high cost and large space occupation caused by the need to purchase multiple devices for food preparation and non-fluid chopping in the prior art. This problem is solved by designing a second preparation component that can be selectively installed and coupled with the drive mechanism to achieve non-fluid chopping into larger particle sizes.

[0009] This application adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A food chopper includes: a first cooking component, a base, and a second cooking component; the first cooking component includes: a first cup assembly having a first cooking cavity with an upper opening; a first blade disposed at the bottom of the first cooking cavity, and a first input end for transmission coupling with the first blade disposed on the lower side of the first cup assembly; a drive mechanism is disposed inside the base, and the drive mechanism has a drive output end; the second cooking component includes: a second cup assembly having a second cooking cavity with an upper opening; a second blade disposed in the second cooking cavity; a reduction device disposed on the lower side of the second cup assembly, including a reduction mechanism, a second input end, and a second output end, the second blade being transmission coupled to the second output end; the first and second cooking components are selectively detachably connected to the base connecting platform, and the first input end or the second input end is detachably transmission coupled to the drive output end; the second cooking component is configured such that at least the second cup assembly can be housed within the first cooking cavity.

[0011] The food chopper of this application can process food through the first processing component. When it is necessary to chop the ingredients into larger particles or to process them as non-fluid, the second processing component is assembled onto the connecting table, so that the second input end is used for transmission coupling with the drive mechanism. Since the second processing component is equipped with a reduction gear, the torque of the second blade can be increased to meet the needs of non-fluid food chopping. Moreover, the second blade can be configured with multiple layers, which can cut more food at the same time. One device can realize two processing methods, saving costs and making it easy to clean. When not in use, the first cup component can be stored in the first processing chamber, which occupies little space and is convenient to place.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first cover for opening and closing the upper opening of the first cooking cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the first lid is adapted to cover the upper opening of the second cup assembly, and the first lid has a positioning structure that rotatably engages with the upper end of the second cutter. This ensures the stability of the second cutter during operation; by sharing the first lid, the number of product parts is reduced, facilitating storage and transportation.

[0014] In other embodiments, a second cover is provided for opening and closing the upper opening of the second cup assembly. The second cover has a positioning structure that rotatably engages with the upper end of the second blade. The second cover better accommodates the second cup assembly, and after the second cup assembly is removed from the first cooking cavity, it can close the opening of the second cooking cavity, providing protection and covering.

[0015] In other embodiments, a second cover is provided for opening and closing the upper opening of the second cup assembly. The second cover is configured with a clearance hole to avoid the upper end of the second cutter. A rotational engagement positioning structure is configured between the upper end of the second cutter and the first cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the second cooking component also includes a second cup holder, a deceleration device disposed within the second cup holder, and a second cup body assembly connected to the upper side of the second cup holder. By placing the deceleration device within the second cup holder, the structure of the second cooking component can be made more compact.

[0017] Furthermore, the second cup body assembly is detachably connected to the second cup holder.

[0018] This application also provides a food preparation sub-assembly for chopping food with the drive output of the drive mechanism of the food chopper base. The food preparation sub-assembly includes: a sub-cup body, a sub-blade, and a reduction device; the sub-cup body has a sub-cooking cavity with an upper opening, and the sub-blade is disposed in the sub-cooking cavity; the reduction device is disposed on the lower side of the bottom of the sub-cooking cavity and includes a reduction mechanism, the input end of which is detachably coupled to the drive mechanism at least indirectly, and the output end of the reduction mechanism is drively connected to the sub-blade.

[0019] The food processing sub-component of this application can be selectively assembled into the base and detachably coupled to the drive mechanism when food needs to be chopped into larger particles or processed in a non-fluid manner. Since the food processing sub-component is equipped with a speed reduction device, the torque of the sub-blade can be increased to meet the needs of food chopping. Moreover, the sub-blade can be configured with multiple layers as needed, so that more food can be cut at the same time. One device can realize two processing methods, saving costs and facilitating disassembly and cleaning.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a sub-cup holder, which is connected to the lower side of the sub-cup body. The deceleration device is disposed inside the sub-cup holder, and the input end is located in the lower middle part of the cup holder. One or more support parts are provided at the lower end of the sub-cup holder, and the sub-cooking component passes through one or more support parts.

[0021] In another aspect, this application provides a food chopper, comprising: a first processing component, a base, and a second processing component; the first processing component includes: a first cup assembly having a first processing cavity with an upper opening; a first blade disposed at the bottom of the first processing cavity; a transmission mechanism having a first input end coupled to the first blade and disposed on the lower side of the first cup assembly; a drive mechanism disposed inside the base, and a connecting platform disposed at the upper end, the connecting platform having a drive output end; the second processing component is detachably assembled into the first processing cavity, comprising: a second cup assembly having a second processing cavity with an upper opening; a second blade disposed in the second processing cavity; a reduction device disposed on the lower side of the second cup assembly, the reduction mechanism including a reduction mechanism, a second input end, and a second output end; the second input end is used for at least indirectly detachably driving coupling with the transmission mechanism, and the second blade is drivingly coupled with the second output end.

[0022] The food chopper of this application can process food through the first processing component. When it is necessary to chop the ingredients into larger particles or to process them as non-fluid, the second processing component is assembled into the first processing chamber, so that the second input end is used to drive and couple with the drive mechanism or the first blade. Since the second processing component is equipped with a speed reduction device, the torque of the second blade can be increased to meet the needs of non-fluid food chopping. Moreover, the second blade can be configured with multiple layers, which can cut more food at the same time. One device can realize two processing methods, saving costs and making it easy to clean. When not in use, the first cup component can be stored in the first processing chamber, which occupies little space and is convenient to place. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0042] See Figures 1 to 6 This utility model generally relates to a food chopper and a second cooking component b. The transmission coupling described in this utility model is a connection that enables rotary transmission. For example, the second input end 5.1 is used for detachable transmission coupling with the drive mechanism 3. That is, the second input end 5.1 and the output end 3.1 of the drive mechanism 3 are detachably and circumferentially positioned connected, such as a square shaft and a square hole, or a polygonal shaft and a polygonal hole, or a plum blossom hole and a shaft, or other existing transmission coupling structures in the art. The second blade is a blade capable of chopping ingredients into larger particles, such as meat grinders, and generally requires multiple layers, such as two or more layers.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 6An embodiment of a food chopper includes: a first cooking component a, a base c, and a second cooking component b; the first cooking component a includes: a first cup assembly 1 and a first cover 2, the first cup assembly 1 having a first cooking cavity 100 with a first upper opening 10, and the first cover 2 being used to open and close the first upper opening 10 of the first cooking cavity 100; a first blade k1 is disposed at the bottom of the first cooking cavity 100, and a first input end 1.1' is provided on the lower side of the first cup assembly 1 for transmission connection with the first blade k1; a drive mechanism 3 is provided inside the base c, and a connecting platform c01 is provided on the upper part, the connecting platform c01 having a drive output end 3.1; the second cooking component b includes The second cup assembly 4 has a second cooking cavity 400 with a second upper opening 40; a second blade k2 is disposed in the second cooking cavity 400; a speed reduction device 5 is disposed on the lower side of the second cup assembly 4, including a speed reduction mechanism 50, a second input end 5.1 and a second output end 5.2, the second blade k2 being drivenly coupled to the second output end 5.2; the first cooking assembly a and the second cooking assembly b are selectively and detachably connected to the connecting platform c01, the first input end 1.1' or the second input end 5.1 being detachably drivenly coupled to the drive output end 3.1; the second cooking assembly b is configured such that at least the second cup assembly 1 can be housed within the first cooking cavity 100.

[0044] The connecting platform c01 of this application is a structure constructed on the base c for mounting the first cooking component a. It belongs to the prior art. The connecting platform c01 is actually a structure that engages with the lower part of the first cooking component a. It does not mean that it is a plane, but can be a cavity.

[0045] In other embodiments, the connecting platform c01 may be disposed on the side of the base c.

[0046] In other embodiments, the second tool k2 and the second output terminal 5.2 may be fixedly connected.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the first cooking component a includes a first cup body component 1 and a first cup holder 1'. The first cup holder 1' is not an improvement of this application. For example, the first cup holder 1' is configured with a transmission mechanism 10' that is connected to the first knife k1, and a first input terminal 1.1' that is coupled to the drive output terminal 3.1 of the drive mechanism 3 is provided on the lower side of the first cup holder 1'.

[0048] Figure 1 This diagram shows the state of the first cooking component a assembled on the base c. Figure 2 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first cooking component a is shown; Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows the state of the second cooking component b being assembled and used on the base c; Figure 5A schematic diagram is shown showing the first cooking component a assembled on the base c and the second cooking component b housed in the first cooking chamber 100; Figure 6 A schematic diagram is shown showing the second cooking component b housed in the first cooking cavity 100.

[0049] The food chopper of this application can process food through the first processing component a. When it is necessary to chop the ingredients into larger particles or process them as non-fluid, the first processing component a is removed from the base c, and the second processing component b is assembled onto the connecting table c01. Since the second processing component b is equipped with a reduction gear 5, it can increase the torque of the second blade k2 to meet the needs of chopping food. Moreover, the second blade k2 can be configured with multiple layers, which can cut more food at the same time. One machine can realize two processing methods, saving costs. When storing, the second processing component b can be placed inside the first processing chamber 100, occupying little space and convenient for placement.

[0050] In addition, by configuring a second cooking component b, food can be processed separately. Food processed in the second cooking component b will not affect the first cooking chamber 100. For example, raw meat can be processed in the second cooking component b, which is separate from the first cooking component a, making it more hygienic and healthy.

[0051] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the second tool k2 is detachably connected to the second output end 5.2. This configuration facilitates cleaning. The second tool k2 and the second output end 5.2 can be coupled using a connector and socket transmission coupling method. For example, the second tool k2 can be equipped with a protruding connector, and the second output end 5.2 can be equipped with an interface. A structure restricting relative rotation is configured between the connector and the interface, such as a quincunx structure, a square structure, a flat structure, etc., or other known detachable connection structures between the tool and the transmission output can be used. Of course, a threaded connection structure is also possible.

[0052] See Figure 17 and Figure 18 In one embodiment (not shown), the first cover 2 is adapted to cover the second upper opening 40 of the second cup assembly 4, and the first cover 2 is provided with a positioning structure that rotatably engages with the upper end of the second cutter k2. This ensures the stability of the second cutter k2 during operation. Using the first cover 2 to position the upper end of the second cutter k2 results in a simple structure, convenient use, and easy cleaning.

[0053] Specifically, the first cover 2 is provided with a first engagement portion that mates with the first upper opening 10 of the first cooking cavity 100, and a second engagement portion that mates with the upper opening of the second cooking cavity 400. Through the above improvements, by using the first cover 2 to cover the upper openings of the first cooking cavity 100 and the second cooking cavity 400, it is possible to prevent food from being thrown out during processing in the second cooking cavity 100.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first and second joints may be made of a soft material, such as silicone or other materials known in the art. Since the size of the second cooking component b is smaller than the size of the first cooking cavity 100, the size of the second cooking cavity 400 is smaller than the size of the first cooking cavity 100. Therefore, the size of the first joint 201 is at least partially (the sealing or joining portion) larger than the size of the second joint 202 (the sealing or joining portion).

[0055] The first and second joints can also be formed on a single component, such as a flexible sleeve-shaped component. One or more first joining pieces are formed on the outer surface of the sleeve-shaped component to form the first joint, and one or more second joining pieces are formed below the first joint to form the second joint. The size of the first joining piece is larger than the first upper opening 10 of the first cooking cavity 100, and the size of the second joining piece is larger than the upper opening of the second cooking cavity 400. Because the first and second joints are sheet-like, they have good elastic deformation, which ensures that the first cover 2 can easily and conveniently close to the upper end of the first cooking cavity 100 and / or the upper end of the second cooking cavity 400. Of course, normally, the first joint fits tightly with the first upper opening 10 of the first cooking cavity 100 to ensure that liquid food processed in the first cooking cavity 100 does not splash out; the second joint can also fit tightly with the second cooking cavity 400.

[0056] In other embodiments, the first joint and the second joint may be two components, such as those made of flexible materials, which are then installed onto the first cover 2.

[0057] Positioning structure such as Figure 18 As shown, a rotary positioning hole k2.1 can be provided on the upper end of the second tool k2, and a rotary shaft protrusion 2.1' that mates with the shaft protrusion k2.1 can be provided on the first cover 2. The rotary shaft protrusion 2.1' can be rotatably mounted to the rotary positioning hole k2.1. Of course, the rotary shaft protrusion 2.1' and the rotary positioning hole k2.1 can be interchanged, that is, a rotary shaft protrusion can be provided on the upper end of the second tool k2, and a rotary positioning hole that mates with the rotary positioning hole can be provided on the first cover 2.

[0058] See Figure 17As shown in Figure 18, in another embodiment, a second cover 2' is provided. The second cover 2' is used to open and close the second upper opening 40 of the second cooking cavity 400. The second cover 2' has a positioning structure that rotatably engages with the upper end of the second blade k2. The second cover 2' better fits the second cup assembly b. After the second cup assembly b is removed from the first cooking cavity 100, it can close the opening of the second cooking cavity 100, providing protection and preventing food in the second cooking cavity 400 from contacting the first cooking cavity 100, thus providing a hygienic barrier. For example, if the second cooking cavity 400 is used for mincing meat, the second cover 2' can prevent it from falling into the first cooking cavity 100.

[0059] As mentioned above, the positioning structure is provided with a rotary positioning hole k2.1 at the upper end of the second tool k2, and a rotary shaft protrusion 2.1' that mates with the rotary positioning hole k2.1 is provided on the second cover 2.

[0060] See Figures 7 to 12 In one embodiment, the second cooking component b further includes a second cup holder 6, a speed reduction device 5 disposed within the second cup holder 6, and a second cup body component 4 connected to the upper side of the second cup holder 6. Distributing the speed reduction device within the second cup holder 6 allows for a more compact structure in the second cooking component b.

[0061] See Figures 7 to 12 In one embodiment, the second cup holder 6 includes a second cup holder body 601 having a side wall 6011 and a top wall 6012, and a second cup holder cover 602 having a side wall 621' and a bottom wall 6022'. A speed reduction device 5 is installed on the second cup holder cover 602. Specifically, the speed reduction device 5 is installed on the drive mounting part 6022 of the second cup holder body 601. The second cup holder cover 602 is connected to the inside of the second cup holder body 601 through a connecting hole 6021. The bottom wall 6022' is constructed to avoid the second input end 5.1.

[0062] See Figures 7 to 12 In one embodiment, the second cup body assembly 4 is detachably connected to the second cup holder 6. This design facilitates the disassembly of the second cup body assembly 4 for cleaning.

[0063] See Figures 7 to 12 In one embodiment, the second cup assembly 4 includes a second cup body 4.1 and a bottom wall 4.2. The transmission hole 401 is constructed in the middle of the bottom wall 4.2. The second cup body 4.1 and the bottom wall 4.2 can be manufactured by an integral molding process, such as injection molding of PC or PP materials; or by glass; of course, they can also be manufactured by current processes such as stamping and welding of metal materials.

[0064] See Figures 7 to 12In one embodiment, a cylinder 402 extends upward from the edge of the transmission hole 401 on the bottom wall 4.2. The second cutter k2 is provided with an assembly space k20 for fitting the cylinder 402, and a second cutter transmission joint k2.2 is at least indirectly coupled to the drive mechanism 3 through the cylinder 402. Since the second cutter k2 is detachable, the arrangement of the cylinder 402 and the assembly space k20 prevents residual material or fluid from falling into the transmission hole 401 when disassembling the second cup assembly 4; it also prevents food from entering the transmission hole 401 during processing, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the second cup assembly 4.

[0065] See Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The lower part of the transmission hole 401 has a sealing part 4011 with an increased diameter. The second output end 5.2 protrudes from the top wall 6012 of the second cup seat body 601, and a sealing ring s is disposed between the second output end 5.2 protrusion and the sealing part 4011. By adopting the above solution, the transmission hole 401 and the sealing part 4011 can be effectively sealed. In order to facilitate manufacturing, the transmission hole 401 extends downward to form a sealing wall, and the sealing part 4011 is formed on the inner side of the sealing wall.

[0066] See Figures 10 to 12 One connection scheme between the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 is a screw-on structure 46, wherein the lower end of the second cup body assembly 4 is provided with a plurality of upper screw-on portions 46.1, and the upper end 601 of the second cup seat 6 is provided with a plurality of lower screw-on portions 46.2. The second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 rotate relative to each other. When the upper screw-on portions 46.1 and the lower screw-on portions 46.1 are aligned, the two are fixedly connected. When the upper screw-on portions 46.1 and the lower screw-on portions 46.1 are disengaged when the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 rotate relative to each other, the two can be disassembled.

[0067] In one embodiment, the upper screw-in portion 46.1 and the lower screw-in portion 46.1 are staggered protrusions, see [reference]. Figures 10 to 15 As shown, both the upper screw-in portion 46.1 and the lower screw-in portion 46.1 are protrusions. A screw-in channel 460 with an opening on the screw-in side is formed on the lower side of the lower screw-in portion 46.1. The upper screw-in portion 46.1 is screwed into the screw-in channel 460 and confined to the lower side of the lower screw-in portion 46.1. To facilitate the screwing of the upper screw-in portion 46.1 into the screw-in channel 460, the top wall of the screw-in side of the screw-in channel 460 is constructed with a beveled portion.

[0068] In other embodiments, one of the screw-on portions can be a rotating protrusion, and the other can be provided with a retaining groove. Rotation engages the upper screw-on portion 46.1 and the lower screw-on portion 46.1 to achieve connection and fixation, while reverse rotation achieves disassembly. For example, the upper screw-on portion 46.1 is a rotating protrusion, and the lower screw-on portion 46.2 is a retaining groove. Figures 10 to 12As shown, the upper end of the second cup holder 6 is provided with a lower joint edge 6.3, and the lower end of the second cup body assembly 4 is provided with an upper joint edge 4.3. The sides of the lower joint edge 6.3 and the upper joint edge 4.3 that fit together are respectively provided with the upper screw joint 46.1 and the lower screw joint 46.2.

[0069] like Figures 10 to 12 In one embodiment shown, the upper connecting edge 4.3 engages the outer side of the lower connecting edge 6.3. A plurality of upper screw-in portions 46.1 are spaced apart and disposed on the inner side of the upper connecting edge 4.3, and a plurality of lower screw-in portions 46.2 are spaced apart and disposed on the outer side of the lower connecting edge 6.3. When the upper connecting edge 4.3 engages the lower connecting edge 6.3, rotation can cause the upper screw-in portion 46.1 to engage the lower side of the lower screw-in portion 46.2, thereby fixing the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6. When rotation causes the upper screw-in portion 46.1 to disengage from the lower screw-in portion 46.2, the second cup body assembly 4 can be detached from the second cup seat 6.

[0070] Specifically, the lower screw-in part 46.2 has a slot (screw-locking channel 460) with the same screw-side opening on the lower side. With this configuration, the second cup body assembly 4 can only be connected to the second cup seat 6 from one screw direction, ensuring that the rotational connection is in place; when disassembling, rotate in the opposite direction to disengage the upper screw-in part 46.1 and the lower screw-in part 46.2.

[0071] See Figures 10 to 12 To ensure the reliable connection between the second cup assembly 4 and the second cup holder 6, an anti-detachment structure is provided between the upper screw-in portion 46.1 and the lower screw-in portion 46.2. Specifically, one screw-in portion 46.1 is provided with one or more protrusions 46.20, and the other screw-in portion is provided with one or more recesses 46.10. When the upper screw-in portion 46.1 and the lower screw-in portion 46.2 are connected, the protrusions 46.20 and the recesses 46.10 engage. During installation and disassembly, the user needs to apply a certain amount of rotation to assemble or disassemble the second cup assembly 4 and the second cup holder 6, thus ensuring that the second cup assembly 4 and the second cup holder 6 do not become loose during use. For example, a recess 46.10 is constructed in the upper screw-in part 46.1, and a protrusion 46.20 is constructed in the inner wall of the screw-lock channel 460. When the upper screw-in part 46.1 is screwed into the screw-lock channel 460, the recess 46.10 is locked into the protrusion 46.20, which can effectively prevent the connection between the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 from becoming loose.

[0072] like Figure 12 As shown, the protrusion 46.10 is disposed on the inner wall of the lower screw-in portion 46.2 (slot), and the recess 46.10 is disposed on the outer edge of the upper screw-in portion 46.1. Of course, the protrusion 46.20 and the recess 46.10 are not limited to the above positions, and can be disposed in other positions of the lower screw-in portion 46.2 and the upper screw-in portion 46.1 as needed.

[0073] In other embodiments, the mating edge 4.3 may also be designed to fit the inner side of the lower mating edge 6.3, in which case the upper screw-on portion 46.1 is located on the outer side of the upper mating edge 4.3, and the lower screw-on portion 46.2 is located on the inner side of the lower mating edge 6.3.

[0074] In other embodiments, the upper screw-in portion 46.1 is a slot.

[0075] In other embodiments, the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 are connected by a threaded structure.

[0076] See Figure 7 and Figure 15 The inner wall of the second cup body 4.1 of this application has one or more flow-dispersing ribs b01'. The flow-dispersing ribs b01' are preferably vertically extending and spaced apart. (See attached...) Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the baffle rib b01' is formed by protruding inward from the sidewall of the second cup body 4.1. Specifically, when the second cup body 4.1 is made of plastic or glass, the baffle rib b01' is integrally manufactured with the second cup body 4.1; when the second cup body 4.1 is made of metal, the baffle rib b01' is formed by stamping. To facilitate observation of the processing status of the second cooking cavity 400, the second cup body 4.1 is preferably made of a transparent material, such as transparent plastic or glass; it is readily understood that these materials are well-known.

[0077] See Figures 13 to 16 In another embodiment of the second cooking component b of this application, the second cooking component b includes a second cup body assembly 4 and a second cup holder 6. The second cup body assembly 4 includes a second cup body 4.1 and a base 4.2. The second cup body 4.1 has an upper port and a lower port. The base 4.2 is sealed to the lower end of the second cup body 4.1 by a sealing ring 4.3. The second cup holder 6 is connected to the lower side of the base 4.2. The deceleration device 5 is disposed in the second cup holder 6. As can be seen from the foregoing, disposing of the deceleration device 5 in the second cup holder 6 can make the structure of the second cooking component b more compact.

[0078] See Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figures 13 to 16 In one embodiment, the second cup holder 6 includes a second cup holder body 601 having a side wall 6011 and a top wall 6012, and a second cup holder cover 602 having a side wall 621' and a bottom wall 6022'. A speed reduction device 5 is installed on the second cup holder cover 602. Specifically, the speed reduction device 5 is installed on the drive mounting part 6022 of the second cup holder body 601. The second cup holder cover 602 is connected to the inside of the second cup holder body 601 through a connecting hole 6021. The bottom wall 6022' is constructed to avoid the second input end 5.1.

[0079] One specific connection method between the second cup holder 6 and the second cup body assembly 4 is shown in [reference]. Figures 13 to 16 The lower end of the second cup body 4.1 has an inwardly extending lower connecting part 4.10. The sealing ring 4.3 has a sealing assembly groove that communicates with the outside. The sealing ring 4.3 is fitted onto the lower connecting part 4.10 through the sealing assembly groove. The edge of the base plate 4.2 extends to the lower connecting part 4.10 to cover the upper side of the sealing ring 4.3. The second cup seat 6 is connected to the base plate 4.2 by a connector such as a screw to tighten the base plate 4.2, so that the base plate 4.2 and the connecting part 4.10 squeeze the sealing ring 4.3 to achieve a seal.

[0080] Specifically, the top wall 6012 of the second cup holder 6 has a connecting hole 60120, through which screws are directly or indirectly connected to the chassis 4.2 (if other intermediate connectors are configured).

[0081] In addition to the screw connection mentioned above, the second cup body 4.1 and the second cup seat 6 can also be made of engineering plastics and connected by ultrasonic welding, known adhesive materials, etc.

[0082] The chassis 4.2 is made of materials with high structural strength, such as metals (stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.), or it can be a known plastic material that meets the requirements of structural strength.

[0083] A plurality of positioning protrusions b012' are constructed along the edge of the top wall 6012 of the second cup seat 6. The outer wall of the second cup body 4.1 is recessed to form a groove structure b011' that connects to its lower end, corresponding to the position of one or more bleed ribs b01'. The positioning protrusions b012' are embedded in the groove structure b011'. Through the above structure, the circumferential force of the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 can be applied between the positioning protrusions b012' and the groove structure b011', thereby reducing the force on the vertical connection (such as screw connection) between the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6, making its structure more stable and reliable.

[0084] As described above, when the second cup body 4.1 is made of plastic or glass, the baffle rib b01' is integrally manufactured with the second cup body 4.1; when the second cup body 4.1 is made of metal, the baffle rib b01' is formed by stamping.

[0085] See Figures 7 to 16 In one embodiment, the lower end of the second cooking component b is provided with one or more support parts b02. When the second cooking component b is placed on the base c in other positions (such as on a countertop), the support parts b02 play a role in providing stable support.

[0086] See Figures 7 to 16In one embodiment, the one or more support portions b02 are provided with a buffer member b.1 that contacts the base c. Specifically, the one or more support portions b02 are provided with a connecting portion, and the buffer member b.1 is connected to the connecting portion, such as by screws, or the one or more support portions b02 are provided with mounting holes, and the buffer member b.1 is inserted into the mounting holes; or, the buffer member b.1 is connected to the one or more support portions b02 by an adhesive. The buffer member b.1 is preferably flexible, such as silicone material, but other known flexible materials can also be used. The buffer member b.1 can reduce collisions with the base c and prevent or reduce noise generation; on the other hand, when the second cooking component b is removed and placed in another position (such as on a countertop), the buffer member b.1 serves as an anti-slip element.

[0087] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the taking and putting away of the second cooking component b, a handle (not shown) that can be flipped over and stored is provided on the upper side of the second cooking component b.

[0088] See Figures 7 to 16 The technical solution of the second cooking component b is described below: The second cooking component b includes: a second cup body component 4, a second cooking cavity 400 having a second upper opening 40; a second knife k2, disposed in the second cooking cavity 400; and a speed reduction device 5, disposed on the lower side of the second cup body component 4, including a speed reduction mechanism 50, a second input end 5.1 and a second output end 5.2, wherein the second knife k2 is drivenly coupled to the second output end 5.2.

[0089] In one embodiment, the second tool k2 is detachably connected to the second output terminal 5.2. This configuration facilitates cleaning.

[0090] In one embodiment, the second cooking component b further includes a second cup holder 6, a deceleration device 5 is disposed within the second cup holder 6, and a second cup body component 4 is connected to the upper side of the second cup holder 6.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second cup assembly 4 and the second cup holder 6 are detachably connected. This design makes cleaning the second cup assembly and the second cup holder easier after disassembly. In another embodiment, an upwardly extending cylinder 402 is provided on the upper side of the upper edge of the transmission hole 401 in the middle of the bottom wall of the second cup assembly 4. The second tool k2 has an assembly space k20 for fitting the cylinder 402, and a tool transmission joint k2.1 coupled to the drive mechanism 3 through the cylinder 402. The cylinder 402 prevents residual material or fluid from falling out when disassembling the second cup assembly 4.

[0092] One solution for connecting the second cup body assembly 4 and the second cup seat 6 is a screw-lock structure 46, which has a rotating protrusion at the connection part of one of them and a slot on the other. By rotating, the rotating protrusion enters the slot to achieve connection and fixation, and by rotating in the opposite direction, disassembly is achieved.

[0093] In one embodiment, the lower end of the second cooking component b is provided with one or more support portions b02, and the second cooking component b is mounted on the base c via the one or more support portions b02. This design ensures stable support for the second cooking component b. In one embodiment, a buffer member b.1 is provided on the one or more support portions b02.

[0094] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the taking and putting away of the second cooking component b, a handle (not shown) that can be flipped over and stored is provided on the upper side of the second cooking component b.

[0095] See Figures 7 to 16 This application also provides a food preparation sub-component b'', which is detachably coupled with the drive mechanism 3 of the food processor to achieve food chopping. The food preparation sub-component b'' includes: a sub-cup body 4', a sub-blade k2" and a speed reduction device 5;

[0096] The sub-cup body 4' has a sub-cooking cavity 400' with a second upper opening 40, and the sub-knife k2” is disposed in the sub-cooking cavity 400'; the deceleration device 5 is disposed on the lower side of the bottom of the sub-cooking cavity 400', including a deceleration mechanism 50, the input end 5.1 of the deceleration mechanism 50 is used for at least indirectly detachably coupled to the drive mechanism 3, and the output end of the deceleration mechanism 50 is connected to the sub-knife k2” in a transmission connection.

[0097] It also includes a sub-cup holder 6', which is connected to the lower side of the sub-cup body 4'. The deceleration device 5 is disposed inside the sub-cup holder 6'. The input end 5.1 is located in the lower middle part of the cup holder 6'. One or more support parts b02 are provided at the lower end of the sub-cup holder 6'. The sub-cooking component b passes through one or more support parts b02.

[0098] like Figures 7 to 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the sub-cup holder 6' and the sub-cup body 4' are detachable, see details below. Figures 7 to 16 The description of the second cooking component b embodiment shows that the second cup body component 4 corresponds to the sub-cup body 4' of this embodiment, and the second cup holder 6 corresponds to the sub-cup holder 6' of this embodiment. Other features and technical effects are the same.

[0099] See Figures 13 to 16 In the illustrated embodiment, the sub-cup holder 6' and the sub-cup body 4' are not disassembled; see details below. Figures 16 to 18 The description of the second cooking component b embodiment shows that the second cup body component 4 corresponds to the sub-cup body 4' of this embodiment, and the second cup holder 6 corresponds to the sub-cup holder 6' of this embodiment. Other features and technical effects are the same.

[0100] The cooking sub-component b'' of this application can be used in conjunction with the first cooking component a and the base c. When it is necessary to chop the ingredients into larger particles, the second cooking component b is assembled into the base c, so that the second input end 5.1 is coupled with the drive output end 3.1 of the drive mechanism 3. Since the second cooking component b is equipped with a speed reduction device 5, the torque of the second blade k2 can be increased to meet the needs of chopping food.

[0101] Further technical effects of the cooking sub-component b'' are demonstrated in other embodiments of this application.

[0102] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In another embodiment of the food chopper of this application, the second processing component b is detachably assembled into the first processing chamber 100. The second input end 5.1 is used for at least indirect detachable transmission coupling with the transmission mechanism 10'. The second blade k2 is transmission coupled to the second output end 5.2. The specific method of transmission coupling is described in other embodiments of this application. That is, in this embodiment, the second processing component b is assembled into the first processing component a, and the second input end 5.1 is transmissionally connected to the transmission part k1.1 of the first blade K, or after the first blade K is disassembled, the second input end 5.1 is transmissionally connected to the transmission mechanism 10'.

[0103] See Figures 1 to 16 In this embodiment, the second cooking component b is mounted above the bottom wall of the first cooking cavity 100 via one or more support parts b02. This design ensures stable support for the second cooking component b. Furthermore, during operation, the buffer reduces vibration between the first cooking component and the first cooking cavity, while also reducing noise.

[0104] An exhaust channel is formed between adjacent support parts b02, which can exhaust the airflow produced when the first blade is working, parallel to the air pressure at the bottom of the second cooking component b.

[0105] An clearance space b0 is constructed between the inner side of the support b02 and the bottom of the second cup holder 6. When the second cooking component b is installed into the first cooking cavity 100 and the second input end 5.1 is coupled to the transmission part k1.1 of the first cutter k1, the clearance space b0 can avoid the first cutter k1.

[0106] The one or more support portions b02 contact the bottom wall of the first cooking cavity 100 through the buffer member b.1.

[0107] For further technical effects of this embodiment, please refer to the description of other embodiments.
