Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market, such as soy milk makers and high-speed blenders. Patent CN214549088U discloses a food processor, specifically involving a receiving cup assembly assembled on the main unit. The receiving cup assembly includes a receiving cup and a lid covering the receiving cup. The lid has an inlet for the soy milk to flow into the receiving cup, and the inlet is located directly below the discharge port. In this patent, the receiving cup is fixed, which means that if there is soy milk in the receiving cup, it needs to be removed first, and then another container needs to be placed to collect the wastewater after cleaning the blending cup. This results in low wastewater discharge efficiency and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a food processor in which the tray 310 in the liquid receiving component 300 can move relative to the main component 100, so that the first container 320 or the second container 330 moves below the outlet of the valve 210, thereby improving the efficiency of the food processor in discharging slurry and wastewater.

[0004] The food processor includes a main unit 100, which includes a mixing cup 110; a valve assembly 200, which includes a valve 210, which, when open, can communicate with the mixing cup 110 to discharge slurry or wastewater from the mixing cup 110; and a liquid receiving assembly 300, which is assembled at the lower part of the main unit 100 and includes a tray 310, a first container 320 for receiving slurry, and a second container 330 for receiving wastewater. The first container 320 and the second container 330 are detachably mounted on the tray 310, and the tray 310 can move relative to the main unit 100 so that the first container 320 or the second container 330 moves below the outlet of the valve 210.

[0005] In some embodiments, the food processor also includes a base 400 disposed under the tray 310, and the liquid receiving assembly 300 also includes a tray drive motor 340 mounted on the base 400, which can drive the tray 310 to move relative to the main unit 100 on the base 400.

[0006] The automatic and efficient movement of the pallet 310 is achieved by setting a drive motor, and the pallet 310 is moved within the main unit 100 by setting a base 400, thereby improving reliability.

[0007] In some embodiments, a first magnetic switch 410 and a second magnetic switch 420 are provided on the base 400, and a first magnet 311 is provided on the tray 310. When the tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210, the first magnet 311 turns on the first magnetic switch 410; when the tray 310 moves the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210, the first magnet 311 turns on the second magnetic switch 420.

[0008] By setting the first magnet 311 on the push block 312, and by cooperating the screw 341 of the tray drive motor 340 with the nut 3121, a more reliable moving tray 310 can be achieved.

[0009] In some embodiments, a push block 312 is mounted on the tray 310, a first magnet 311 is disposed on the push block 312, and a nut 3121 is disposed on the push block 312. The tray drive motor 340 can drive the push block 312 to move through the screw 341 cooperating with the nut 3121, so that the tray 310 moves relative to the main unit 100.

[0010] By setting the first magnet 311 on the push block 312, and by cooperating the screw 341 of the tray drive motor 340 with the nut 3121, a more reliable moving tray 310 can be achieved.

[0011] In some embodiments, a sliding track 430 is provided on the base 400, and a cover plate 431 is provided on the sliding track 430. There is a gap between the sliding track 430 and the cover plate 431. A boss 3122 that mates with the gap is provided on the push block 312. The boss 3122 is also connected to the recess on the tray 310. During the movement of the push block 312, the boss 3122 slides along the sliding track 430 in the gap to drive the tray 310 to move.

[0012] By setting a sliding track 430 and a cover plate 431, and setting a boss 3122 on the push block 312, the push block 312 can be moved along the sliding track 430, thereby ensuring that the pallet 310 moves in a specified manner and improving the reliability of the pallet 310 during movement.

[0013] In some embodiments, a third magnetic switch 440 and a fourth magnetic switch 450 are provided on the base 400, a second magnet 321 is provided on the first container 320, and a third magnet 331 is provided on the second container 330. When the tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210, the second magnet 321 turns on the third magnetic switch 440, and the third magnet 331 turns on the fourth magnetic switch 450. When the tray 310 moves the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210, the third magnet 331 turns on the third magnetic switch 440.

[0014] By setting a second magnet 321, a third magnetic switch 440, a third magnet 331, and a fourth magnetic switch 450, which work in conjunction with the first magnet 311, the first magnetic switch 410, and the second magnetic switch 420, the movement position of the tray 310 can be determined more accurately, and the first container 320 and the second container 330 can be determined to be in the correct position, thus improving the reliability of the food processor.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base 400 further includes a bottom cover 460, which is installed on the bottom of the base 400 and can cover the first magnetic switch 410, the second magnetic switch 420, the third magnetic switch 440, and the fourth magnetic switch 450.

[0016] By setting the bottom cover 460, the first magnetic switch 410, the second magnetic switch 420, the third magnetic switch 440, and the fourth magnetic switch 450 can be protected, further improving the reliability of the food processor.

[0017] In some embodiments, the valve assembly 200 further includes a valve drive motor connected to the valve 210 and capable of driving the valve 210 to open or close.

[0018] By setting a valve drive motor, valve 210 can be automatically controlled, thereby making the food processor more efficient at draining pulp or wastewater.

[0019] In some embodiments, the valve drive motor closes the valve 210 by moving the valve 210 upward to a first position; the valve drive motor opens the valve 210 by moving the valve 210 downward to a second position.

[0020] By driving the valve 210 upward or downward with the valve drive motor, the valve 210 can be efficiently closed and opened. Furthermore, since the valve 210 moves downward to open, the outlet of the valve 210 can be brought closer to the first container 320 or the second container 330, which can effectively prevent the splashing of slurry or wastewater.

[0021] In some embodiments, the main unit 100 further includes: a stirring motor 120 disposed at the lower part of the stirring cup 110, capable of driving the stirring blade 111 in the stirring cup 110 to rotate; a cup lid 130 disposed at the upper part of the stirring cup 110, capable of sealing the upper opening of the stirring cup 110; a water tank 140 capable of holding a target volume of water; and a water pump 150 connecting the stirring cup 110 and the water tank 140, capable of transporting water from the water tank 140 to the stirring cup 110.

[0022] By setting up a stirring motor 120 and a cup lid 130, the food processor can reliably stir and make pulp and clean the mixing cup 110. By setting up a water tank 140 and a water pump 150, water can be automatically added to the mixing cup 110, further improving the automation level of the food processor.

[0023] By applying the above technical solutions, the food processor includes: a main unit 100, including a mixing cup 110; a valve assembly 200, including a valve 210, which, when open, can communicate with the mixing cup 110 to discharge slurry or wastewater from the mixing cup 110; and a liquid receiving assembly 300, assembled at the lower part of the main unit 100, including a tray 310, a first container 320 for containing slurry, and a second container 330 for containing wastewater. The first container 320 and the second container 330 are detachably mounted on the tray 310, and the tray 310 can move relative to the main unit 100, so that the first container 320 or the second container 330 moves below the outlet of the valve 210. Since the tray 310 in the liquid receiving component 300 can move relative to the main unit component 100, it can switch between the first container 320 for holding slurry and the second container 330 for holding wastewater by cooperating with the valve 210 in the valve component 200. This enables the food processor to discharge slurry and wastewater from the mixing cup 110 more efficiently, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use this application in a variety of substantially any suitable detailed structures.

[0053] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this application.

[0054] A food processor according to an embodiment of this application includes a main unit assembly 100, a valve assembly 200, and a liquid receiving assembly 300. Since the tray 310 in the liquid receiving assembly 300 can move relative to the main unit assembly 100, it can switch between a first container 320 for holding slurry and a second container 330 for holding wastewater by cooperating with the valve 210 in the valve assembly 200. This enables the food processor to discharge slurry and wastewater from the mixing cup 110 more efficiently, thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the food processor includes:

[0056] Main unit 100, including mixing cup 110;

[0057] Valve assembly 200 includes valve 210, which, when open, can communicate with mixing cup 110 to discharge slurry or wastewater from mixing cup 110;

[0058] The liquid receiving assembly 300 is assembled at the lower part of the main assembly 100 and includes a tray 310, a first container 320 for containing slurry and a second container 330 for containing wastewater. The first container 320 and the second container 330 are detachably mounted on the tray 310. The tray 310 is movable relative to the main assembly 100, so that the first container 320 or the second container 330 moves below the outlet of the valve 210.

[0059] In this embodiment, the food processor may include, but is not limited to, any one of a juicer, blender, high-speed blender, soy milk maker, meat grinder, baby food maker, etc.

[0060] The main unit 100 includes a mixing cup 110 for agitating or pulverizing food ingredients. Before the mixing cup 110 operates, the first container 320 is moved below the outlet of the valve 210 using the tray 310. After the mixing cup 110 completes agitation of the food ingredients, a slurry is generated in the mixing cup 110. The slurry is discharged into the first container 320 by opening the valve 210 (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown), then close valve 210, pour water into mixing cup 110 to clean it. After cleaning, wastewater is generated in mixing cup 110. Use tray 310 to move the second container 330 below the outlet of valve 210, and open valve 210 to discharge the wastewater in mixing cup 110 into the second container 330 (as shown). Figure 10 (As shown).

[0061] Optionally, the tray 310 can move relative to the main unit 100. Specifically, the tray 310 can move back and forth relative to the main unit 100, and when the tray 310 moves to different positions, it causes the first container 320 or the second container 330 to move below the outlet of the valve 210. Alternatively, the tray 310 can rotate relative to the main unit 100, and when the tray 310 rotates to different angles, it causes the first container 320 or the second container 330 to move below the outlet of the valve 210.

[0062] In this embodiment of the food processor, the tray 310 in the liquid receiving component 300 can move relative to the main unit component 100, allowing the first container 320 or the second container 330 to move below the outlet of the valve 210. By cooperating with the valve 210 in the valve component 200, the first container 320 for containing slurry and the second container 330 for containing wastewater can be switched, enabling the food processor to discharge slurry and wastewater from the mixing cup 110 more efficiently and improving the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the food processor also includes a base 400 disposed under the tray 310, and the liquid receiving assembly 300 also includes a tray drive motor 340 mounted on the base 400. The tray drive motor 340 can drive the tray 310 to move relative to the main unit 100 on the base 400.

[0064] The automatic and efficient movement of the pallet 310 is achieved by setting a drive motor, and the pallet 310 is moved within the main unit 100 by setting a base 400, thereby improving reliability.

[0065] Alternatively, the tray drive motor 340 can also be mounted on the main unit.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first magnetic switch 410 and a second magnetic switch 420 are provided on the base 400, and a first magnet 311 is provided on the tray 310. When the tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210, the first magnet 311 turns on the first magnetic switch 410; when the tray 310 moves the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210, the first magnet 311 turns on the second magnetic switch 420.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting a first magnetic switch 410 and a second magnetic switch 420 on the base 400 and a first magnet 311 on the tray 310, the first magnetic switch 410 is turned on when the first magnet 311 is close to it, so that the tray 310 can accurately move the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210; the second magnetic switch 420 is turned on when the first magnet 311 is close to it, so that the tray 310 can accurately move the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 11-15 As shown, a push block 312 is installed on the tray 310, a first magnet 311 is disposed on the push block 312, and a nut 3121 is disposed on the push block 312. The tray drive motor 340 can drive the push block 312 to move through the screw 341 cooperating with the nut 3121, so that the tray 310 moves relative to the main unit 100.

[0069] By setting the first magnet 311 on the push block 312, and by cooperating the screw 341 of the tray drive motor 340 with the nut 3121, a more reliable moving tray 310 can be achieved.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, the pusher 312 and the tray 310 are detachable, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the tray 310.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 11-15 As shown, a sliding track 430 is provided on the base 400, and a cover plate 431 is provided on the sliding track 430. There is a gap between the sliding track 430 and the cover plate 431. A boss 3122 that fits into the gap is provided on the push block 312. The boss 3122 is also connected to the recess on the tray 310. During the movement of the push block 312, the boss 3122 slides along the sliding track 430 in the gap to drive the tray 310 to move.

[0072] By setting a sliding track 430 and a cover plate 431, and setting a boss 3122 on the push block 312, the push block 312 can be moved along the sliding track 430, thereby ensuring that the pallet 310 moves in the specified manner and improving the reliability of the pallet 310.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The base 400 is equipped with a third magnetic switch 440 and a fourth magnetic switch 450. The first container 320 is equipped with a second magnet 321, and the second container 330 is equipped with a third magnet 331. When the tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210, the second magnet 321 turns on the third magnetic switch 440, and the third magnet 331 turns on the fourth magnetic switch 450. When the tray 310 moves the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210, the third magnet 331 turns on the third magnetic switch 440.

[0074] In this embodiment, the food processor is in both the blending and pulping state and the pulping state, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of the valve 210. At this time, the first magnet 311 turns on the first magnetic switch 410, the second magnet 321 turns on the third magnetic switch 440, and the third magnet 331 turns on the fourth magnetic switch 450.

[0075] When the food processor is in wastewater discharge mode, such as Figure 8 As shown, the drive tray 310 moves the second container 330 below the outlet of the valve 210. At this time, the first magnet 311 turns on the second magnetic switch 420, and the third magnet 331 turns on the third magnetic switch 440.

[0076] By setting a second magnet 321, a third magnetic switch 440, a third magnet 331, and a fourth magnetic switch 450, which work in conjunction with the first magnet 311, the first magnetic switch 410, and the second magnetic switch 420, the movement position of the tray 310 can be determined more accurately, and the first container 320 and the second container 330 can be determined to be in the correct position, thus improving the reliability of the food processor.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 As shown, the base 400 also includes:

[0078] The bottom cover 460 is installed on the bottom of the base 400 and can cover the first magnetic switch 410, the second magnetic switch 420, the third magnetic switch 440, and the fourth magnetic switch 450.

[0079] By setting the bottom cover 460, the first magnetic switch 410, the second magnetic switch 420, the third magnetic switch 440, and the fourth magnetic switch 450 can be encapsulated inside the food processor, which can prevent the magnetic switches from being affected by the external environment and further improve the reliability of the food processor.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the valve assembly 200 further includes:

[0081] A valve drive motor is connected to valve 210 and can drive valve 210 to open or close.

[0082] By setting a valve drive motor, valve 210 can be automatically controlled, thereby making the food processor more efficient at draining pulp or wastewater.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the valve drive motor closes valve 210 by moving valve 210 upward to the first position; as Figure 5 As shown, the valve drive motor opens valve 210 by moving it down to the second position, thus discharging the slurry into the first container 320. Figure 7 As shown, the valve drive motor moves the valve 210 down to the second position, causing the valve 210 to open and discharge the wastewater into the second container 330.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, when the food processor is in the blending / slurrying state, the valve drive motor moves valve 210 upwards, which can close valve 210. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, when the food processor is in the slurry discharge state or the wastewater discharge state, the valve drive motor drives the valve 210 to move downward, which can open the valve 210 to discharge the slurry or wastewater.

[0085] By driving the valve 210 upward or downward with the valve drive motor, efficient closing and opening of the valve 210 can be achieved. Furthermore, because the valve 210 opens by moving downward, its outlet can be brought closer to the first container 320 or the second container 330, effectively preventing splashing of slurry or wastewater. Conversely, because the valve 210 closes by moving upward, it prevents the first container 320 from colliding with the valve 210 when the user removes it, thus improving the user experience.

[0086] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only one specific implementation of the control valve 210 of this application. Those skilled in the art can use other methods to open or close the valve 210 as needed, such as pneumatic control, hydraulic control, etc. Other methods of opening or closing the valve 210 are also within the protection scope of this application.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the host component 100 also includes:

[0088] The stirring motor 120 is located at the lower part of the stirring cup 110 and can drive the stirring blade 111 in the stirring cup 110 to rotate;

[0089] The lid 130 is located on the upper part of the mixing cup 110 and can seal the upper opening of the mixing cup 110.

[0090] The water tank has a capacity of 140 cubic meters and can hold the target volume of water.

[0091] The water pump 150 connects the mixing cup 110 and the water tank 140, and can transport water from the water tank 140 to the mixing cup 110.

[0092] In this embodiment, by setting up a stirring motor 120 and a cup lid 130, the food processor can reliably stir and make pulp and clean the mixing cup 110. By setting up a water tank 140 and a water pump 150, water can be automatically added to the mixing cup 110, thus improving the automation level of the food processor.

[0093] The following describes the working process of a blender according to an embodiment of this application, using a juicer as an example. The first container 320 of the blender is a juice cup, and the second container 330 is a wastewater cup. The process includes the following steps:

[0094] Before starting, the food processor is assembled, including: installing the tray 310 onto the base 400 of the main unit 100 and connecting it to the push block 312; then placing the waste water cup and juice cup on the tray 310 in sequence; adding water to the water tank 140; and then installing the water tank 140 into the main unit 100.

[0095] like Figure 16 As shown, after assembly, power on the food processor and enter the function program interface. Check the valve 210 for closure. If valve 210 is not closed, perform the valve closure operation; if valve 210 is abnormally closed, the operation will pause, an error message will be displayed, and the program will terminate. If valve 210 is closed correctly, add ingredients to the blending cup 110 and start the function program.

[0096] A tray return check is performed on tray 310 to confirm whether the first magnetic switch 410 is on. If the first magnetic switch 410 is on, the tray 310 is confirmed to be in place. If the first magnetic switch 410 is not on, the tray 310 is confirmed not to be in place. The tray drive motor 340 is then used to perform the tray return operation. If the return is abnormal, the operation is paused, an error message is displayed, and the program terminates. A juice cup return check is performed to confirm whether the third magnetic switch 440 is on. If the third magnetic switch 440 is on, the juice cup is confirmed to be in place. If the third magnetic switch 440 is not on, the juice cup is confirmed not to be in place, the program is paused, and a prompt to place the juice cup is displayed. A wastewater cup return check is performed to confirm whether the fourth magnetic switch 450 is on. If the fourth magnetic switch 450 is on, the wastewater cup is confirmed to be in place. If the fourth magnetic switch 450 is not on, the wastewater cup is confirmed not to be in place, the program is paused, and a prompt to place the wastewater cup is displayed.

[0097] The cup lid 130 is checked for proper positioning (by sensing the magnetic switch corresponding to the cup lid 130), and the water level in the water tank 140 is checked. If the tray 310, juice cup, wastewater cup and cup lid 130 are all correctly positioned and the water level in the water tank 140 reaches the target level, the function program is executed to perform stirring and pulping.

[0098] like Figure 17 As shown, the function program is executed to perform stirring and pulping. After stirring and pulping are completed, a juice cup return check is performed to determine whether the first magnetic switch 410 and the third magnetic switch 440 are connected. If both the first magnetic switch 410 and the third magnetic switch 440 are connected, the juice cup is confirmed to be in place, and valve 210 is opened to discharge the pulp. After the pulp is discharged, valve 210 is closed for cleaning. After cleaning, the drive tray 310 moves the wastewater cup below the outlet of valve 210, and a wastewater cup position check is performed to determine whether the second magnetic switch 420 and the third magnetic switch 450 are connected. If both the second magnetic switch 420 and the third magnetic switch 450 are connected, the wastewater cup is confirmed to be in place, and valve 210 is opened to discharge wastewater. Afterwards, drying is performed, valve 210 is closed, and the drive tray 310 moves the first container 320 below the outlet of valve 210, so that the tray 310 is in place (turning on the first magnetic switch 410), and the program is executed to close.
