[0030] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the module or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0033] like Figure 1-5 The multi-functional food processor shown includes a body 1, a mixing assembly, an ice-making assembly, and a heating element 5. The body 1 has a cooking chamber 11, and a base 12 is provided inside the cooking chamber 11. The mixing assembly includes a mixing blade 4, a drive motor 3 for rotating the mixing blade 4, and a food processor 2 that is detachably installed inside the cooking chamber 11 and located on top of the base 12. The ice-making assembly includes a compressor 6, an ice mold 63 connected to the compressor 6, and a water tank 141 for supplying water. The compressor 6 rapidly freezes the water supplied to the ice mold 63 into ice cubes for use in the food processor 2. The heating element 5 is located at the bottom of the food processor 2 to heat the food inside the food processor 2.

[0034] When in use, place the fruit / grain into the blender cup 2. The drive motor 3 rotates the blending blade 4 to blend and crush the fruit / grain into juice. Users can turn on the heating element 5 to heat the juice to meet their needs for warm or hot drinking. Of course, users can also turn on the ice maker to freeze the water supplied to the ice mold 63 into ice cubes, which can then be blended with the fruit / grain in the blender cup 2 to make juice or slushies, etc., to meet their needs for cold drinking. Alternatively, users can process the food without turning on the heating element 5 or adding ice cubes to the blender cup 2 to meet their needs for room temperature drinking. Thus, it integrates three major functions: blending, ice making, and heating, which can fully meet the diverse needs of users.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the ice-making component can be turned on independently for ice-making purposes, so as to meet the user's needs for ice cubes in other cooking or other uses.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the food processor 2 can also be used to blend and grind meat ingredients, and can be used according to user needs, and is not limited to this.

[0037] See Figure 5 The multi-functional food processor of this utility model also includes a bottom cover 23. The bottom of the food processor 2 is provided with an installation cavity 211. The heating element 5 is set in the installation cavity 211 and the installation cavity 211 is covered by the bottom cover 23, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the heating element 5 and avoiding the safety risks caused by the heating element 5 being exposed to the outside.

[0038] See Figure 4 The mounting cavity 211 is also equipped with a drive shaft 212, and the stirring blade 4 is located inside the food preparation cup 2 and is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 212.

[0039] Specifically, the top of the base 12 is provided with a drive shaft 31, the drive motor 3 is located inside the base 12, and the output shaft of the drive motor 3 is connected to the drive shaft 31. When the food preparation cup 2 is installed on the base 12, the transmission shaft 212 is inserted into the drive shaft 31 to realize transmission, which simplifies the transmission connection structure of the stirring blade 4 when the food preparation cup 2 is installed in the food preparation cavity 11.

[0040] More specifically, the top of the base 12 is provided with a protrusion 121, and the bottom of the cooking cup 2 is provided with a groove 231. When the cooking cup 2 is installed on the base 12, the protrusion 121 is engaged in the groove 231, thereby improving the stability of the cooking cup 2 when installed on the base 12, and thus preventing the stirring assembly from vibrating during operation and causing the connection between the drive shaft 212 and the drive shaft 31 to disengage.

[0041] See Figure 2 The cooking cup 2 is equipped with a lid 22, and the lid 22 is equipped with a first vent 221 that connects to the inside of the cooking cup 2. The body 1 is equipped with a second vent 16 that connects to the inside of the cooking chamber 11. The hot air generated after the food inside the cooking cup 2 is heated passes through the first vent 221 and the second vent 16 in sequence and is then discharged to the outside.

[0042] Furthermore, the body 1 is also equipped with a sound insulation component, which includes a door panel body 7 that is rotatably connected to one side of the body 1 and covers the cooking cavity 11, as well as a sealing element and soundproof glass 71 provided on the door panel body 7. When the door panel body 7 covers the cooking cavity 11, it seals the cooking cavity 11 into a closed cavity to isolate the sound of the stirring component, thereby reducing the noise generated by the stirring blade 4 during food processing and thus optimizing the user experience.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sealing element is a sealing strip 8, which is also provided with a deformation groove 81. When the door panel body 7 covers the cooking cavity 11, the deformation groove 81 provides deformation space for the sealing strip 8 and compresses it to achieve a seal, thereby improving the flexibility and sealing performance of the sealing strip, effectively avoiding deformation or sealing failure caused by external force or environmental changes, and also extending the service life of the sealing strip.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the door panel body 7 and the machine body 1 are provided with a switch, and the switch can be linked with the drive motor 3 to control the opening or closing. Specifically, the switch can be a micro switch, magnetic switch, Hall switch or infrared light sensor switch, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0045] Specifically, the main body 7 of the door panel is also provided with a grip 72 to facilitate the user to rotate it to open or close.

[0046] See Figure 3 The ice-making assembly also includes a storage refrigerator 131 and a water pump 62. The water pump 62 introduces water from the water storage tank 141 into the ice mold 63, which is then rapidly frozen into ice blocks by the compressor 6 and collected in the storage refrigerator 131.

[0047] In this embodiment, the machine body 1 is also provided with a condenser 61 connected to the compressor 6 to discharge the heat after the compressor 6 compresses the medium to the outside. Specifically, heat dissipation holes 15 are provided on the machine body 1.

[0048] Specifically, the other side of the body 1 has a first opening 13 and a second opening 14 arranged vertically. The refrigerator 131 can be pulled out and installed in the first opening 13, and the water tank 141 can be pulled out and installed in the second opening 14, so that when in use, the user can directly pull out the refrigerator 131 to take out ice cubes and pull out the water tank 141 to add or change water.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second opening 14 is also provided with a water inlet connector 142 for connecting the water storage tank 141 and the water pump 62.

[0050] In this embodiment, the body 1 is also provided with a movable top cover 17 located on top of the ice mold 63. Users can open the top cover 17 to clean and maintain the ice mold 63, thereby improving the stability and service life of the ice mold 63.

[0051] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 222 is provided between the cup lid 22 and the food processor 2 for sealing. At the same time, the sealing ring 222 also improves the fixing effect when the cup lid 22 is placed on the food processor 2, thereby preventing the food from impacting the cup lid 22 and causing it to fall off when the stirring blade 4 is stirring and crushing the food.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cooking cup 2 is provided with a handle 21 to facilitate the user to pick up the cooking cup 2 inside the cooking cavity 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, the body 1 is also provided with a controller 9 for electrical control.

[0054] In summary, this multi-functional food processor integrates three major functions: blending, ice making, and heating, comprehensively meeting diverse user needs. Furthermore, the compressor 6 quickly freezes water into ice cubes, providing rapid and convenient support for making smoothies, cold drinks, and more; while the heating element 5 efficiently heats the ingredients in the blending cup 2, meeting heating or cooking requirements and bringing users a safer and more versatile user experience.

[0055] This utility model of a multi-functional food processor simplifies the transmission connection structure of the stirring blade 4 when the food processor cup 2 is installed in the food processing chamber 11 by inserting the transmission shaft 212 and the drive shaft 31. When the food processor cup 2 is installed in the food processing chamber 11, the drive motor 3 can effectively drive the stirring blade 4 through the transmission shaft 212, thereby realizing the stirring and crushing of the ingredients in the food processor cup 2.
