[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a food processor 100 according to an example embodiment of the present application.

[0032] The present application provides a food processor 100, which includes a main machine 10 and a bowl assembly 20, and the main machine 10 is detachably installed on the bowl assembly 20. The main machine 10 can be arranged as a head-type main machine, for example, the main machine 10 is installed above the bowl assembly 20.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A sectional view of a bowl assembly 20 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0034] The bowl assembly 20 comprises a bowl 21 and a stirring blade 22, the bowl 21 is provided with a stirring cavity 201, and the stirring blade 22 is rotatably installed in the stirring cavity 201. The bowl assembly 20 can further comprise a bowl cover (not shown in the figure), the bowl cover covers the top of the bowl 21, and the main machine 10 is supported on the bowl cover, and the motor shaft of the main machine 10 is connected with the stirring blade 22 through a hole on the bowl cover to drive the stirring blade 22 to rotate.

[0035] The bottom of the bowl 21 can also be provided with a bowl shaft 202, which is coaxial with the motor shaft of the main machine 10, and the blade shaft of the stirring blade 22 is provided with a shaft hole, and the bowl shaft 202 is inserted into the shaft hole to position the lower end of the stirring blade 22 to reduce the amount of shaking when the stirring blade 22 rotates.

[0036] The bowl 21 comprises a bowl bottom 211 at the bottom, a bowl opening 212 at the top, and a side wall 213 connecting the bowl bottom 211 and the bowl opening 212. The bowl 21 can be integrally formed, and the material of the bowl 21 is not limited and can be selected from glass or stainless steel.

[0037] The bowl opening 212 is set as a converging bowl opening, that is, the diameter at the bowl opening 212 is smaller than the diameter at the side wall 213, and the bowl 21 further comprises a maximum diameter part 214, which is located below the bowl opening 212, and the diameter of the bowl opening 212 is set to be 0.5-0.95 of the diameter of the maximum diameter part 214.

[0038] According to the above description, the bowl opening 212 is set as a converging structure, when the food materials to be whipped flow upward to the bowl opening 212, the converging bowl opening 212 can block the food materials from splashing outward, and also can make the food materials accumulated at the bowl opening 212 fall into the stirring cavity 201 again, so that the food materials are whipped more fully.

[0039] In addition, the ratio of the diameter at the bowl opening 212 to the maximum diameter is 0.5-0.95, which can not only meet the requirement of loading the stirring blade 22 into the stirring cavity 201 from the bowl opening 212, but also effectively block the food materials from splashing. For example, the ratio can be 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, but is not limited thereto.

[0040] In Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the maximum diameter portion 214 is arranged at the side wall 213. In this arrangement, the maximum diameter portion 214 is located between the bowl bottom 211 and the bowl opening 212. When the food material being whipped adheres to the inner wall of the side wall 213 and passes the maximum diameter portion 214, the food material loses support and falls due to gravity, and falls into the mixing chamber 201 again, so that the food material falls before reaching the bowl opening 212, reducing the accumulation of food material at the bowl opening 212.

[0041] In one embodiment, the side wall 213 includes an upper side wall 2130 connected to the bowl opening 212 and a lower side wall 2131 connected to the bowl bottom 211. The upper side wall 2130 gradually contracts upward and inward in an arc surface structure along the direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212. The upper side wall 2130 is connected to the lower side wall 2131, and the maximum diameter portion 214 is arranged at the connection between the upper side wall 2130 and the lower side wall 2131. In this arrangement, the upper side wall 2130 has a contraction structure in an arc surface shape, and the curvature of the arc surface structure is relatively large. The food material adhering to this portion is relatively easy to fall into the mixing chamber 201.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 for cross-sectional views of further embodiments of the bowl assembly 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, the lower side wall 2131 gradually extends upward and outward along the direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212, forming a cylindrical structure with a large upper part and a small lower part. That is, the lower side wall 2131 is arranged in a non-equal diameter structure with a large upper part and a small lower part, so that a larger capacity mixing chamber 201 can be formed, and more food material can be whipped at one time.

[0044] In Figure 2 the embodiment shown, the lower side wall 2131 gradually extends upward and outward along the direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212 in an arc surface structure, forming a cylindrical structure with a large upper part and a small lower part in an arc surface shape. In Figure 3 the embodiment shown, the lower side wall 2131 gradually extends upward and outward along the direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212 in a slope surface structure, forming a cylindrical structure with a large upper part and a small lower part in a conical shape.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 for cross-sectional views of further embodiments of the bowl assembly 20.

[0046] In one embodiment, the upper side wall 2130 is tapered upward and inward in an arc surface structure along a direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212, and the lower side wall 2131 is vertically extended along a direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212, forming a straight cylinder structure with equal upper and lower diameters. That is, the lower side wall 2131 is an equal-diameter structure with equal diameters everywhere, which is more convenient for processing and manufacturing of the bowl body 21.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a sectional view of yet another embodiment of the bowl body assembly 20.

[0048] In one embodiment, the maximum diameter portion 214 is located at the bowl bottom 211, i.e., the diameter at the bowl bottom 211 is the maximum. In this way, the bowl body 21 is tapered inward from the bowl bottom 211, which can increase the difficulty of food material adhering to the inner wall of the bowl body 21 and make the food material adhering to the inner wall of the bowl body 21 more easily slide into the stirring cavity 201.

[0049] In Figure 5 the illustrated embodiment, the side wall 213 is tapered upward and inward in a slope surface structure along a direction from the bowl bottom 211 to the bowl opening 212, forming a conical cylinder structure with a large lower part and a small upper part. In this way, the area of the bowl bottom 211 is the maximum, and the bowl body 21 is more stable during operation. The above-mentioned “slope surface structure” means that the cross section of the side wall 213 is an inclined surface when the bowl body 21 is cut along a plane passing through the shaft of the stirring blade 22. The above-mentioned “arc surface structure” means that the cross section of the side wall 213 is an arc surface when the bowl body 21 is cut along a plane passing through the shaft of the stirring blade 22.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a sectional view of yet another embodiment of the bowl body assembly 20.

[0051] In one embodiment, the bowl body 21 further includes a bowl opening upper rim 216 located at the topmost part, and the inner diameter of the bowl opening upper rim 216 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the bowl opening 212. The bowl opening upper rim 216 can serve as a support and sealing structure. The specific shape of the bowl opening upper rim 216 is not limited, for example, it can be a slope and a straight body surface extending upward and outward from the bowl opening 212 as shown in Figure 6 , or it can be a straight body surface extending upward from the bowl opening 212 as shown in Figure 2 .

[0052] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 is a sectional view of yet another embodiment of the bowl body assembly 20.

[0053] InFigure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in any cross section of the side wall 213 taken along a plane of the rotation axis of the stirring blade 22, the profile line of the side wall 213 on one side of the rotation axis of the stirring blade 22 is located on a first circle, and the profile line of the inner surface of the side wall 213 on the other side of the rotation axis of the stirring blade 22 is located on a second circle. In this way, the curvature of the inner wall of the side wall 213 is relatively large, and food materials are more likely to slide down. The diameters of the first circle and the second circle can be equal, and the side wall 213 is a symmetrical structure. In Figure 7 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the upper edge 216 of the bowl is provided with a flat portion, which is more convenient for a user to hold the bowl 21.

[0054] Please refer again to Figure 2 The stirring blade 22 includes a blade shaft 220 and a blade 221 provided on the blade shaft 220. The blade 221 can be provided in one or more, and the plurality of blades 221 can be respectively provided at different heights of the blade shaft 220. The top end of the blade shaft 220 is provided with a connecting head 223, and the main machine 10 is in driving connection with the connecting head 223, thereby driving the stirring blade 22 to rotate.

[0055] In an embodiment, the blade 221 is provided in a plurality of blades, including a first blade 221a provided at the lowest position of the blade shaft 220, and the distance between the end of the first blade 221a and the side wall 213 along the radial direction of the blade shaft is C, 0 < C ≤ 10 mm. For example, C can be 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, or 9 mm. In this way, the gap between the blade 221 near the bowl bottom 211 and the inner wall of the bowl 21 is small, and the food materials at the bowl bottom 211 can be better stirred and lifted by the blade 221, and the food materials are more likely to be crushed.

[0056] In an embodiment, the blade 221 is provided in a plurality of blades, including a second blade 221b provided at the highest position of the blade shaft 220, and the bowl 21 further includes a turbulence rib 215 provided on the inner surface of the side wall 213, and the distance between the end of the second blade 221b and the turbulence rib 215 along the radial direction of the blade shaft is D, 0 < D ≤ 10 mm. For example, the gap D can be 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, or 9 mm. In this way, the gap between the blade 221 and the stirring rib 215 is small, thereby increasing the stirring space and improving the stirring efficiency.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
