Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a kitchen device. Background Technology

[0002] A food processor is a household appliance that integrates functions such as making soy milk, grinding dry powders, juicing, mincing meat, and shaved ice. It is used to make a variety of foods such as juice, soy milk, jam, dry powders, shaved ice, and minced meat. It is a product of the diversification of juicers.

[0003] The lid is an essential part of a food processor. Common food processor lids on the market are either opaque and non-removable, and are usually assembled from multiple parts. After prolonged use, residue can easily accumulate in the gaps between the parts, making them difficult to clean. Another type is a lid that is removable in the middle but opaque. In addition, the food processor container has blades for blending food. The blades can only be activated when the lid is on the container. However, if the lid is not properly installed in the middle before the food processor container is placed on it and the food processor is accidentally started, the user may easily put their hand into the container and be injured, indicating insufficient safety of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a kitchen appliance with a transparent and detachable lid that also features a foolproof mechanism to enhance safety.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A kitchen appliance includes a lid and a container that mates with the lid, the lid being mounted on the container and having a locking position on the container; the kitchen appliance further includes:

[0007] A sealing ring, configured to be installed between the lid and the container when the lid is mounted on the container;

[0008] A base, the base being configured to support the container;

[0009] The lid includes an outer lid and an inner lid, wherein the inner lid is made of a transparent material;

[0010] The outer cover has a first hole to expose the inner cover, and a plurality of first buckles protrude radially from the first side plate forming the first hole.

[0011] The inner cover has a slot that engages with the first buckle, and the outer cover and the inner cover are detachably connected by the first buckle and the slot.

[0012] The kitchen equipment also includes a foolproof mechanism, which includes a locking block on the lid and a blocking member on the container. When the inner lid is not engaged with the outer lid, during the engagement of the outer lid with the container, the locking block is obstructed by the blocking member, preventing the outer lid from engaging with the container.

[0013] Furthermore, the plurality of first buckles extend outward from the first side plate in a direction away from the first hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a second side plate is formed on the inner cover, and the slot is formed on the inner side of the second side plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper limit block forming the slot has multiple breaks, which allows the upper limit block to deform to a certain extent, thus making the installation of the first buckle easier.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper limit block has a chamfer on the side facing the outer cover.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one notch is provided on the bottom wall forming the slot.

[0018] Furthermore, the plurality of notches and the plurality of fractures are spaced apart from each other.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing ring, on which a third side plate is formed, and the sealing ring is fitted onto the third side plate.

[0020] Furthermore, a fourth limiting block is formed on the third side plate, and the fourth limiting block is accommodated within the sealing ring.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking block is rotatably mounted on the outer cover;

[0022] When the inner cover and the outer cover are engaged, the locking block is in the first position, and the cover can mate with the container;

[0023] When the inner cover is not engaged with the outer cover, the locking block can rotate to a second position away from the outer cover under the action of gravity. At this time, the locking block is obstructed by the blocking member, making it impossible for the outer cover to engage with the container.

[0024] Furthermore, a pivot is formed on the locking block, and a pair of fixed platforms are formed on the outer cover. The pivot is rotatably connected to the pair of fixed platforms, and the locking block can rotate around the pivot.

[0025] Furthermore, the foolproof mechanism also includes an elastic element, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft, with one end of the elastic element abutting against the locking block and the other end abutting against the outer cover.

[0026] Furthermore, a first limiting block is formed on the locking block, and a second limiting block is formed on the outer cover. When the locking block moves to the second position, the first limiting block and the second limiting block abut against each other.

[0027] Furthermore, a third limiting block is formed on the locking block. When the locking block is in the second position, the third limiting block can abut against the blocking member to prevent the outer cover from contacting the container.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0029] 1. By making the inner cover transparent, users can easily observe the state of the food inside the cooking equipment and operate the equipment in a timely manner.

[0030] 2. The inner and outer covers are removable. After prolonged use, dirt may accumulate in the gaps of the covers. Users can then remove the inner and outer covers to easily clean these gaps. Both the inner and outer covers can be placed in a dishwasher for added convenience.

[0031] 3. By setting up a foolproof mechanism, when the user has not installed the inner lid, the foolproof mechanism will prompt the user to connect the outer lid to the cooking equipment, thereby reminding the user to install the inner lid, which improves the safety of the user when using the product.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a kitchen device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lid, a container 60 that mates with the lid, and a base 61. The base 61 is configured to support the container 60, which is used to hold processing tools and food. The processing tools can be powered and controlled by the base 61. The lid is mounted on the container 60 and has a locking position on the container 60, which is used to close the container 60 and prevent food from being thrown out of the container 60 during processing.

[0049] The lid includes an outer lid 1 and an inner lid 2, with the inner lid 2 being made of transparent material. A first hole 10 is formed on the outer lid 1 to expose the inner lid 2, allowing the user to easily observe the food processing process inside the container 60. The outer lid 1 is detachably connected to the container 60, and the inner lid 2 is detachably connected to the outer lid 1. All components are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

[0050] Reference Figures 2 to 5 On the outer cover 1, a plurality of first buckles 11 are protruding in the radial direction on the first side plate 12 forming the first hole 10. The inner cover 2 is provided with a slot 20 that engages with the first buckles 11. The outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2 are detachably connected by the first buckles 11 and the slot 20. The snap-fit ​​method makes it easy for the user to disassemble.

[0051] Specifically, an annular first side plate 12 is formed on the outer cover 1. A plurality of first buckles 11 are formed on the outer wall 120 of the first side plate 12, and the first buckles 11 extend outward from the first side plate 12 in a direction away from the first hole 10. In this embodiment, four first buckles 11 are evenly arranged on the outer wall 120 of the first side plate 12.

[0052] An annular second side plate 21 is formed on the inner cover 2. The inner diameter of the second side plate 21 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first side plate 12, so that the first side plate 12 can be accommodated within the annular area of ​​the second side plate 21. A slot 20 is formed on the inner side of the second side plate 21. When the outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2 are mated, the first buckle 11 is accommodated in the slot 20, so that the inner cover 2 and the outer cover 1 are engaged.

[0053] Optionally, the upper limit block 210 forming the slot 20 is provided with multiple breaks 211 so that the upper limit block 210 has a certain deformation, thereby making the installation of the first buckle 11 easier and more convenient for users to disassemble and assemble.

[0054] Optionally, the upper limit block 210 has a chamfer 213 on the side facing the outer cover 1, which guides the first buckle 11 when the user installs the outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2, making it convenient for the user to install and remove.

[0055] Optionally, at least one notch 212 is provided on the bottom wall 200 forming the slot 20. The hollow design allows the second side plate 21 to also have a certain deformation capability, which makes it easier for users to disassemble and assemble, and can extend the service life of the product.

[0056] Optionally, multiple notches 212 are provided on the bottom wall 200 forming the slot 20. The multiple notches 212 and multiple breaks 211 are spaced apart from each other, and the breaks 211 are evenly arranged, so that the deformation of the slot 20 and the second side plate 21 is more uniform, making it easier for users to install and extending the product's service life.

[0057] The kitchen equipment also includes a handle 62, which is located on the side of the container 60 for easy handholding.

[0058] The container 60 has a plurality of sixth limiting blocks 600, and the outer cover 1 has a plurality of fifth limiting blocks 601 corresponding to the sixth limiting blocks 600. The outer cover 1 also has a locking block 14, and the handle 62 has a mating groove 620. When installing the cover, the user places the outer cover 1 on the container 60, causing the sixth limiting blocks 600 and fifth limiting blocks 601 to be misaligned. Rotating the cover causes the fifth limiting blocks 601 to abut against the sixth limiting blocks 600, simultaneously causing the locking block 14 to be accommodated in the mating groove 620, thus locking the cover and engaging it with the container 60. The cover is then engaged with the container 60 by rotation, making it convenient for the user.

[0059] Further reference Figures 5 to 6The kitchen equipment also includes a foolproof mechanism 3, which reminds the user to install the inner lid 2. The foolproof mechanism 3 includes a locking block 30 on the lid and a blocking member 621 on the container 60. When the inner lid 2 is not engaged with the outer lid 1, during the engagement of the outer lid 1 with the container 60, the locking block 30 is obstructed by the blocking member 621, preventing the outer lid 1 from engaging with the container 60, thus reminding the user that the inner lid 2 has not been installed.

[0060] In this embodiment, the blocking member 621 is part of the handle 62, making the appearance simple and beautiful.

[0061] In alternative embodiments, the barrier 621 may also be configured as a separate portion protruding from the container 60.

[0062] Specifically, a pair of fixing platforms 13 are formed on the outer cover 1, and each of the fixing platforms 13 has a rotating hole 130. A rotating shaft 300 is formed on the locking block 30, and both ends of the rotating shaft 300 are set in the rotating holes 130 so as to be rotatably connected to the pair of fixing platforms 13. The locking block 30 can rotate around the rotating shaft 300. When the inner cover 2 is engaged with the outer cover 1, the locking block 30 is in the first position, and the cover can be engaged with the container 60. When the inner cover 2 is not engaged with the outer cover 1, the locking block 30 can rotate to the second position under the action of gravity in a direction away from the outer cover 1. At this time, the locking block 30 is blocked by the blocking member 621, so that the outer cover 1 cannot be engaged with the container 60, thereby reminding the user that the inner cover 2 has not been installed, improving the safety of the user.

[0063] Optionally, the foolproof mechanism 3 further includes an elastic element 31. The elastic element 31 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 300, with one end of the elastic element 31 abutting against the locking block 30 and the other end abutting against the outer cover 1. In this embodiment, the elastic element 31 is a torsion spring. Under the elastic action of the elastic element 31, the locking block 30 can rotate more smoothly to the second position away from the outer cover 1.

[0064] Optionally, the pivot 300 and the locking block 30 are integrally formed, and the locking block 30 is also provided with a groove 303 for accommodating the abutment portion of the elastic member 31, so that the elastic member 31 will not shift.

[0065] Optionally, the locking block 30 also forms a third limiting block 33. When the locking block 30 is in the second position, when the user wants to rotate the outer cover 1 and mate the outer cover 1 with the container 60, the third limiting block 33 will abut against the handle 62, thereby preventing the outer cover 1 from mate with the kitchen equipment, reminding the user to install the inner cover 2, and improving product safety.

[0066] Optionally, a first limiting block 34 is formed on the locking block 30, and a second limiting block 32 is formed on the outer cover 1. When the locking block 30 moves away from the outer cover 1 to the second position, the first limiting block 34 can abut against the second limiting block 32. This prevents the locking block 30 from rotating excessively and serves as a limiting action.

[0067] Optionally, further reference Figure 6 The locking block 30 is also provided with a protruding abutment strip 35. When the inner cover 2 and the outer cover 1 are engaged, the inner cover 2 abuts against the abutment strip 35, causing the locking block 30 to rotate toward the outer cover 1. The abutment strip 35 is provided so that when the user repeatedly disassembles and reassembles the inner cover 2 and the outer cover 1, the force will not be directly applied to the locking block 30, thus improving the durability of the device.

[0068] The lid also includes a sealing ring 4, which is positioned between the lid and the container 60 when the lid is installed on the container 60. Specifically, an annular third side plate 22 is formed on the side of the inner lid 2 away from the second side plate 21, and the sealing ring 4 is fitted onto the third side plate 22. A fourth limiting block 220 is formed on the third side plate 22, which is accommodated within the sealing ring 4 to further secure the sealing ring 4. The sealing ring 4 is made of an elastic material; in this embodiment, the sealing ring 4 is made of food-grade silicone, which is easy to disassemble and clean.

[0069] In addition, the lid includes a measuring cup 5, and an mounting groove 23 is formed on the inner lid 2, in which the measuring cup 5 is detachably installed. When the measuring cup 5 is fixed to the lid, it can serve as a handle for the lid, making it convenient for the user to open or close the lid. After the measuring cup 5 is removed from the lid, it allows the user to easily measure the appropriate amount of food. The container 60 is mounted on a base 61, and the base 61 has a structure that cooperates with the processing tools inside the container 60, so that the processing tools can process the food inside the container 60.

[0070] Specifically, the inner cover 2 includes a substantially flat plate 2a, which optionally has a mounting slot 23 to allow the use of other food processing tools inserted therein or to allow the addition of food, and the mounting slot 23 is perforated in this embodiment. The substantially flat plate 2a may be made of a transparent material (e.g., glass or Tritan™) to allow visual monitoring of the interior of the container 60. The mounting slot 23 may be provided with a wall 230 extending downward toward the bottom of the container 60 for introducing food into the center of the bowl-shaped object. Optionally, the mounting slot 23 may be provided with a removable measuring cup 5 to cover the mounting slot 23 when not in use. The removable measuring cup 5 may include a locking or sealing element to allow the interior of the container 60 to be pressurized or depressurized.

[0071] Optionally, the kitchen appliance also includes a locking element 63. The base 61 includes a locking assembly that locks the container 60 onto the base 61 when the container 60 is mounted on it. The specific locking method of the locking assembly is an existing structure and will not be described further here. When the locking assembly moves to the locked position, it drives the locking element 63 to move, thereby locking the lid onto the container 60.

[0072] Specifically, the locking element 63 is movably disposed within the handle. The locking element 63 is slidably connected to the container 60 in a vertical direction and has a reset function. When the locking component moves to the unlocked position, the locking element 63 automatically resets, releasing the lock between the lid and the container 60. Specifically, the locking element 63 has an abutment block 630. When the lid and container 60 are engaged, the locking component rotates to the locked position, thereby driving the locking element 63 to move upwards, causing the abutment block 630 to protrude beyond the handle 62. At this time, the abutment block 630 can abut against the side wall of the outer cover 1, preventing the lid from being unscrewed. When the user unlocks the lid on the base 61, the locking component rotates to the unlocked position, and the locking element 63 automatically resets, causing the abutment block 630 to retract and no longer obstruct the lid's rotation. This ensures that when the user closes the lid, it will not be accidentally opened due to vibration or misoperation, improving product safety.

[0073] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
