In addition, the embodiments of the present application involve the terms “first”, “second”, etc., which are used only for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic view of the food processor 100 shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is Figure 1 is an exploded view of the food processor 100 shown in

[0031] The present application provides a food processor 100, which includes a main machine 10 and a food cup 20, the food cup 20 being detachably mounted on the main machine 10. The food cup 20 can whip or cook food materials.

[0032] In Figure 1 the embodiment shown, the main machine 10 includes a first component 11 and a second component 12, the first component 11 being mounted on the top of the second component 12, and the first component 11 can be configured as a machine head with a built-in motor. The second component 12 can be configured as a machine base, for example, including a driving circuit, a power supply circuit, a heating component, etc. The food cup 20 is supported on the second component 12 and located below the first component 11.

[0033] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the first component 11 is rotatable relative to the second component 12, with the rotation axis aligned with the height direction of the second component 12. The rotation angle can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first component 11 can rotate 90 degrees, but it is not limited to this. This rotatable configuration of the first component 11 makes it easier for the user to pick up the food processor cup 20. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first component 11 can also be configured to flip or move upward relative to the second component 12, etc.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the baking components. Figure 4 for Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of the food processor 100 shown in the figure. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the food processor 100 shown in the image.

[0035] The food processor 100 also includes a baking component, which can be used to bake ingredients such as soybeans, mung beans, coffee beans, and peanuts. The baking component includes a blower assembly 30 and a hopper assembly 40. The blower assembly 30 generates and delivers hot air. For example, the blower assembly 30 includes a fan 31, a blower duct 32, and a heater 33 disposed within the blower duct 32. The fan 31 rotates to draw airflow into the blower duct 32. The heater is energized to generate heat, and the airflow is heated, forming hot air within the blower duct 32. The hot air then travels along the blower duct 32 into the hopper assembly 40.

[0036] The hopper assembly 40 includes a detachably connected hopper barrel 41 and a hopper cover 42. The hopper barrel 41 includes a baking cavity 410 for baking ingredients. The hopper cover 42 is used to seal the baking cavity 410. The air supply assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the hopper cover 42 and communicates with the baking cavity 410 through the hopper cover 42.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the air supply component 30 is fixedly connected to the hopper cover 42, and the two remain relatively stationary at all times. The air tightness between the air supply component 30 and the hopper component 40 will not be caused by the frequent disassembly and assembly of the hopper barrel 41 and the hopper cover 42. This improves the reliability of the seal between the air supply component 30 and the hopper component 40 and enhances the baking efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the hopper cover 42 includes a cover plate 421 at the top and an annular wall 422 extending from the periphery of the cover plate 421 toward the hopper 41. The annular wall 422 is provided with a vent 4220 for the air supply assembly 30 to communicate with the baking chamber 410 (see [link]). Figure 3With this configuration, the vent 4220 is positioned slightly higher than the highest point of the food inside the baking cavity 410, allowing airflow to enter from the upper side of the baking cavity 410 and preventing food debris from entering the air supply assembly 30.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the baking assembly also includes a temperature sensor 50, which is disposed in the baking cavity 410 and used to detect the temperature inside the baking cavity 410. The hopper assembly 40 also includes a stirring part 43 rotatably disposed in the baking cavity 410. The stirring part 43 includes a shaft part 430 for engaging with a motor shaft, and the shaft part 430 has a cylindrical structure. The vent 4220, the shaft part 430, and the temperature sensor 50 are aligned in a straight line in the direction in which airflow flows from the vent 4220 into the baking cavity 410. The shaft part 430 is located between the vent 4220 and the temperature sensor 50. The arrangement direction of the vent 4220 and the temperature sensor 50 is perpendicular to or intersects the axis of the shaft part 430. With this configuration, when airflow enters the baking chamber 410 from the vent 4220, the airflow will flow along the cylindrical outer surface of the shaft portion 430, bypass the outer circumference of the shaft portion 430, and reach the location of the temperature sensor 50, thereby enabling the measurement of the baking temperature. In this embodiment, the arrangement direction of the vent 4220 and the temperature sensor 50 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft portion 430, which allows for accurate measurement of the baking temperature. Figure 3 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow. It should be noted that the shaft portion 430 includes a coupling at the end or a motor shaft that engages with the shaft end.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air duct 32 has a bent structure; it can be bent at a right angle, but is not limited to this. The air inlet end of the air duct 32 is connected to the fan 31, and the air outlet end of the air duct 32 is connected to the cover 42. In one embodiment, the flow area of ​​the air outlet end of the air duct 32 is smaller than the flow area of ​​the air inlet end. According to Bernoulli's principle, this arrangement can increase the air velocity at the air outlet end of the air duct 32, thereby improving baking efficiency. The heater can be suspended at the air inlet end of the air duct 32, close to the fan 31.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the hopper barrel 41 is provided with a guide portion 411, the hopper cover 42 is provided with a guide matching portion 423, and the hopper barrel 41 is guided by the guide portion 411 and the guide matching portion 423 when connected to the hopper cover 42. In this way, the hopper barrel 41 can be accurately installed in place, and the position of the hopper barrel 41 after installation is more stable and cannot be displaced. In this embodiment, the guide portion 411 is a strip-shaped protrusion provided on the outer surface of the hopper barrel 41, and the length direction of the strip-shaped protrusion is consistent with the installation direction of the hopper barrel 41 when installed in the hopper cover 42. The guide matching portion 423 is a strip-shaped groove provided on the inner surface of the hopper cover 42 and consistent with the length direction of the strip-shaped protrusion. In the embodiment in which the hopper cover 42 includes a cover plate 421 and an annular wall 422, the guide matching portion 423 is provided on the inner surface of the annular wall 422.

[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the first assembly 11 is movably connected to the second assembly 12, the hopper assembly 40 is arranged in the first assembly 11, and the air supply assembly 30 is arranged in the second assembly 12, and the air supply assembly 30 and the hopper cover 42 are relatively stationary relative to the first assembly 11 when the first assembly 11 moves relative to the second assembly 12. In this scheme, the air supply assembly 30 and the hopper assembly 40 are arranged in different assemblies, which can effectively utilize the idle space in the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12, and improve the compactness of the structure. Moreover, the air supply assembly 30 and the hopper cover 42 are always relatively stationary, and do not move relative to each other when the first assembly 11 moves relative to the second assembly 12.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the first assembly 11 is rotatably connected to the second assembly 12, the first assembly 11 includes a housing 110, the hopper assembly 40 is arranged in the housing 110, and the housing 110 is rotatably connected to the second assembly 12. At the rotatable connection position, the housing 110 is further provided with a through hole 1100 for the air supply assembly 30 to enter the first assembly 11 from the second assembly 12. In this way, the first assembly 11 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the second assembly 12, which is simple in structure and easy to implement. The through hole 1100 provides a space for the air supply assembly 30 to extend into the first assembly 11 from the second assembly 12, effectively utilizes the idle space in the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12, and realizes the connection with the hopper cover 42.

[0044] In one embodiment, the housing 110 comprises a detachable shell 110a and a lower cover 110b, the lower cover 110b is rotatably connected with the second assembly 12, and is provided with the through hole 1100, the air supply assembly 30 is fixedly connected with the lower cover 110b, and the bin cover 42 is provided in an integrated structure with the lower cover 110b. In this way, the lower cover 110b can provide support for the air supply assembly 30, increase the stability of the connection between the air supply assembly 30 and the bin cover 42, and the integrated structure of the lower cover 110b and the bin cover 42 does not need to be assembled.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of part of the structure of the food processor shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0046] In one embodiment, the food processor 100 further comprises a first assembly 11 and a second assembly 12, the first assembly 11 is movably connected to the second assembly 12, and the air supply assembly 30 and the bin cover 42 are both arranged in the first assembly 11. In this way, the air supply assembly 30 is integrated in the first assembly 11, thereby reducing the volume of the air supply assembly 30 and making it more convenient to install. For example, the first assembly 11 is rotatably connected to the second assembly 12, but it is not limited thereto.

[0047] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , the food cup 20 is arranged below the bin assembly 40, and the material can be directly discharged to the bin assembly 40 after being baked in the bin assembly 40. In order to improve the safety of the food processor 100, one of the first assembly 11 and the food cup 20 is provided with a switch 60, and the other is provided with a switch matching part 70. When the food cup 20 is removed from below the bin assembly 40, the switch matching part 70 triggers the switch 60 to be turned off, so that the power supply of the food processor 100 is cut off, avoiding misoperation of the food processor 100.

[0048] It should be pointed out that the second assembly 12 and the food cup 20 can also be provided with a switch 60 and a switch matching part 70, respectively, so that the food processor 100 is powered off.
