Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a small household appliance, in particular to a food processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, a food processor (such as a blender) comprises a base, a stirring cup and a cup cover. The stirring cup is located on the base and comprises a handle. The cup cover is provided with a motor. The motor is connected with a stirring blade. The stirring blade and part of the motor are located in the stirring cup. The handle is provided with a coupler. The motor is connected with the coupler, and the wire of the coupler passes through the inside of the handle to reach the main control panel on the base.

[0003] In the above-mentioned food processor, the wire passes through the inside of the handle, which not only needs to reserve space for the wire, but also needs to consider waterproofing. Therefore, the handle is bulky, the structure is complex and not beautiful. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to disclose a food processor. The handle of the food processor is not bulky, the structure is simple and beautiful.

[0005] The present application discloses a food processor. The food processor comprises a base, a support, a stirring cup, a stirring blade, a cup cover, a motor, a control assembly and a battery. The support stands on the base and is provided with a support coupler. The support coupler is connected with the control assembly. The stirring cup is located on the base. The motor is in the shape of a rod. One end of the motor is fixed to the cup cover, and the motor extends into the stirring cup. The battery is located in the base and serves as a power source for the motor. The cup cover is combined with the stirring cup and is provided with a cup cover coupler. When the cup cover coupler is plugged with the support coupler, the cup cover is locked with the stirring cup, and the control assembly controls the motor to drive the stirring blade to rotate in the stirring cup.

[0006] As mentioned above, the motor is assembled on the cup cover, the cup cover coupler is provided on the cup cover, and the support coupler is provided on the support. In this way, only when the cup cover coupler on the cup cover is plugged with the support coupler, the control assembly can control the motor to work. Therefore, the handle does not need to be provided with a coupler or other structure for controlling the motor to drive, so that the handle is not bulky, the structure is simple and more beautiful. Furthermore, the battery is used as the power source for the motor. On the premise of realizing low-voltage and large-current power supply through the battery, the cost of the food processor can be reduced and the volume of the food processor can be reduced. For example, if mains power is used, a voltage reduction module needs to be provided to reduce the mains power to the voltage for the operation of the motor. The voltage reduction module occupies a volume and has a higher cost than the battery. In addition, the battery occupies a small volume and is convenient to arrange.

[0007] In an embodiment, the motor is a rod-type brushless outer rotor motor.

[0008] As set forth above, the bar type brushless outer rotor motor (such as a brushless low-voltage outer rotor motor) is adopted. On the one hand, the conventional series motor and the brushless motor are heavy and large in size. The motor placed in the product results in a relatively thick and heavy whole machine. The bar type brushless outer rotor motor is safer (such as reducing the risk of electric shock injury) and lighter (such as the cup cover, motor and stirring knife as a whole are more convenient to take out from the stirring cup and are easier to clean) due to structural reasons. On the other hand, the motor rotor of the bar type brushless motor directly contacts the food and directly stirs the food without power transmission loss. On the other hand, after the bar type brushless motor is adopted, the cup cover is only exposed at the top of the stirring cup, and the exposed height is also relatively low.

[0009] In an embodiment, the base is provided with a base coupler connected with the control assembly; the bottom of the stirring cup is provided with a stirring cup coupler and a heating element connected with the stirring cup coupler; when the stirring cup and the base are assembled, the base coupler and the stirring cup coupler are plugged, and the control assembly controls the heating of the heating element.

[0010] As set forth above, since the stirring cup coupler and the base coupler are plugged, the base coupler is connected with the control assembly, and the support coupler is connected with the control assembly without being connected with the control assembly through the base coupler. Therefore, the cup cover coupler-support coupler-base coupler-control assembly and the stirring cup coupler-base coupler-control assembly are two independent paths, thereby facilitating the layout of the components of the food processor. In addition, the power supply demand of low voltage and large current can also be met.

[0011] In an embodiment, the control assembly includes a main control board and a power control board, and the power control board and the main control board are stacked in the thickness direction of the base.

[0012] As set forth above, the main control board and the power control board are stacked in the thickness direction of the base, which can reduce the area occupied by the base.

[0013] In an embodiment, the control assembly is arranged in the base, and the control assembly and the support coupler are connected through wires.

[0014] As set forth above, since the control assembly is located on the base, and the support coupler and the control assembly are connected by wires, in combination with the support standing on the base, the support coupler and the control assembly no longer need couplers and the like, the connection is simpler, and the base and the support are also simpler in structure, because they do not need to additionally provide a part for the wires to be routed or for the couplers to be arranged. In addition, the control assembly is arranged on the base, which makes the structure of the cup cover simpler compared with the control assembly arranged on the cup cover, because the cup cover does not need to reserve a structure for mounting the control assembly and a structure for sealing the control assembly. In addition, during the heating of the stirring cup, high-temperature steam will move towards the cup cover and be discharged to the outside of the food processor, and the control assembly is arranged on the base instead of the cup cover, which avoids the control assembly being in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment caused by the steam, thereby improving the service life.

[0015] In an embodiment, the base comprises a mounting portion for mounting the stirring cup, and the base comprises a bottom wall for contacting the workbench surface; the battery is located between the mounting portion and the bottom wall.

[0016] As set forth above, the battery is located between the mounting portion and the bottom wall, and compared with the battery arranged in other ways, the battery does not increase the area of the base, and the base occupies a smaller area.

[0017] In an embodiment, the food processor comprises a battery box, and the battery is assembled in the battery box; the battery box is located in the base, and one of the battery box and the base is provided with a socket, and the other is provided with a plug post, and the plug post is inserted into the socket.

[0018] As set forth above, the battery is located in the battery box, which prevents the risk of abnormal battery to other components. By inserting the plug post into the socket, the battery box and the battery are facilitated to be installed, and the battery and the battery box as a whole will not shake and the like.

[0019] In some embodiments, the control assembly comprises a main control board and a power control board, and the main control board comprises a main machine control board and a motor control board. The motor control board is connected with the motor through the support coupler and the cup cover coupler, and is also connected with the battery and the main machine control board; the power control board is connected with the battery, the main machine control board and the commercial power.

[0020] In the related art, a switching power supply is used to supply power to the motor, and the switching power supply has a large cost and volume. In particular, in the case where the motor needs to output a large power (such as the aforementioned bar type brushless low-voltage outer rotor motor), the low voltage and large current are required, and the switching power supply has a larger volume and higher cost in the case of outputting a large power, and cannot meet the requirements of low cost and small volume of the food processor. As described above, by using the combination of the power control board and the battery, the battery acts as a voltage reduction reservoir, and compared with the switching power supply, the low voltage and large current requirements are met, the cost is low, and the volume is small.

[0021] In some embodiments, the bottom of the stirring cup is provided with a heating element, and the control assembly includes a power control board; the power control board is connected with the heating element.

[0022] As described above, the heating element is powered by the power control board, and the heating of the food in the stirring cup is realized by the host control board managing the power control board, and the control is convenient.

[0023] In one embodiment, the cup cover is locked with the stirring cup through buckling and locking grooves, the cup cover includes a cup cover body combined with the stirring cup cover and a cup cover coupler mounting portion connected with the cup cover body; the cup cover coupler is mounted on the cup cover coupler mounting portion; the cup cover coupler mounting portion is spaced from the cup cover body to form one of the locking grooves.

[0024] As described above, the cup cover is locked with the stirring cup through buckling and locking grooves, the cup cover coupler mounting portion is spaced from the cup cover body to form one of the locking grooves, and after the cup cover is locked with the stirring cup, the cup cover is not easy to shake, and no additional locking groove needs to be provided, and the structure of the cup cover is simple. The locking groove located between the cup cover coupler mounting portion and the cup cover body also makes the cup cover beautiful.

[0025] In one embodiment, the cup cover coupler includes a plug-in terminal inserted with a support coupler; the cup cover coupler mounting portion is connected with the cup cover body through a shelter portion, and the shelter portion acts as a roof to shelter the plug-in terminal.

[0026] As described above, by providing the shelter portion as a roof, the plug-in terminal is located below the roof (shelter portion), and when the cup (in this embodiment, the cup cover, the motor and the stirring knife form a whole) is cleaned, because the shelter portion acts as a roof to shelter, water flows downward along the side surface of the shelter portion and the side surface of the cup cover coupler mounting portion from the cup cover body, avoids entering the roof, and plays a waterproof role on the plug-in terminal, and the waterproof effect is good.

[0027] In an embodiment, the end of the support is provided with a positioning slot, and the stirring cup is provided with the buckles, one of which is located in one of the locking slots and also in the positioning slot.

[0028] As arranged above, one of the buckles is located in one of the locking slots and also in the positioning slot, so that a positioning structure is formed by the one buckle and the positioning slot, facilitating the assembly of the stirring cup, the cup cover and the support, and further ensuring that the cup cover coupler and the support coupler are inserted into each other when the cup cover is locked with the stirring cup. With one of the buckles as part of the positioning structure, the positioning structure is simple and does not increase the complexity of the design of the food processor.

[0029] In an embodiment, the base includes a mounting portion that is sunken into a mounting cavity, the stirring cup is placed in the mounting cavity and in contact with the bottom of the mounting cavity, and the bottom of the mounting cavity is flat.

[0030] As arranged above, since the mounting portion is sunken into the mounting cavity and the bottom of the mounting cavity is flat, the bottom of the stirring cup can also be flat or similar to flat, and can be placed on the bottom of the mounting cavity. On the one hand, the stirring cup in the mounting cavity can reduce the overall height of the food processor. On the other hand, the stirring cup is not easy to shake when placed, and on the other hand, in the case where the stirring cup includes a heating element, the stirring cup can also be a health pot, etc., realizing multi-scene application of the food processor and greatly increasing the product usage rate. The food processor can be used in multiple ways, which is convenient for users to store. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or, “modes of implementation”) of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.

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.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 4The application discloses a food processor. The food processor comprises a base 1, a support 2, a stirring cup 3, a stirring blade 4, a cup cover 5, a motor 6 and a control assembly 7. The support 2 stands on the base 1 and is provided with a support coupler 21. The standing is not limited to that the support 2 is perpendicular to the base, and the support 2 can also be inclined relative to the base 1. The support coupler 21 is connected with the control assembly 7, and the connection mode is not limited, and the control assembly 7 can receive a signal of the support coupler 21, for example, wires between the support coupler 21 and the control assembly 7 are routed through the inside of the support 2 and the inside of the base 1 to realize the connection. The stirring cup 3 is located on the base 1, and the stirring cup 3 can be detachably assembled with the base 1 to realize the aforementioned location, and when food in the stirring cup 3 needs to be poured out, the stirring cup 3 can be taken away from the base 1; when the food in the stirring cup 3 does not need to be poured out, the stirring cup 3 is placed on the base 1. Alternatively, the stirring cup 3 is fixedly assembled with the base 1, and the stirring cup 3 cannot be taken away from the base 1 whether the food in the stirring cup 3 is poured out or not. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The food processor comprises a handle 30 which is independent of the support 2, that is, the support 2 and the handle 30 are different components. See Figure 10 In the embodiments of the application, the handle 30 comprises a left handle 301, a right handle 302 and a handle cover sheet 303. The left handle 301 and the right handle 302 are respectively installed with the handle mounting portion 34. The side, facing the stirring cup, of the left handle 301 and the right handle 302 is locked together. The locking mode is not limited, see Figure 10 The left handle 301 comprises a locking groove 3011, and the right handle 302 comprises a locking block 3021. The locking block 3021 is located in the locking groove 3011 to realize the locking. The side, away from the stirring cup 3, of the left handle 301 and the right handle 302 is locked together through the handle cover sheet 303. The locking mode of the handle cover sheet 303 is not limited, in Figure 10 The left handle 301 is provided with a left locking hole 3012, and the right handle 302 is provided with a right locking hole (not shown in the figure, but the right locking hole can be inferred according to the left locking hole 3012 and the right locking block 3032). The handle cover sheet 303 is provided with a left locking block 3031 and a right locking block 3032. The left locking block 3031 is locked with the left locking hole 3012, and the right locking block 3032 is locked with the right locking hole. The left handle 301 and the right handle 302 are respectively provided with mounting holes 3014. The mounting holes 3014 are distributed along the height direction of the stirring cup 3. The handle cover sheet 303 is provided with plug columns 3034 which are inserted into the mounting holes 3014 one by one.

[0045] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8The motor 6 is in a bar shape, and one end of the motor 6 is fixed to the cup cover 5. In the embodiment, the other end of the motor 6 is assembled with the stirring blade 4, but is not limited to this. The assembly can be that the stirring blade 4, the motor 6 and the cup cover 5 are assembled as a whole from the factory (as shown in Figure 8 ), or can be that the assembly is as shown in Figure 8 when the food is needed to be processed. The motor 6 extends into the stirring cup 3, and the extension can be partial or complete. The stirring blade 4 is located in the stirring cup 3.

[0046] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the cup cover 5 is coupled with the stirring cup 3, and the cup cover coupler 51 is arranged. When the cup cover coupler 51 is inserted into the support coupler 21, the control assembly 7 controls the motor 6 to drive the stirring blade 4 to rotate in the stirring cup 3. In some embodiments, the cup cover coupler 51 is inserted into the support coupler 21, and at this time, the cup cover 5 is locked with the stirring cup 3, and at this time, the control assembly 7 can determine that the cup cover 5 is locked with the stirring cup 3 through the signals of the cup cover coupler 51 and the support coupler 21, so that the motor 6 is controlled to work according to the preset program, and the motor 6 drives the stirring blade 4 to process the food.

[0047] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the food processor includes a battery 81, and the battery 81 is located in the base 1 and serves as a power supply of the motor. In the embodiment, the battery 81 is a battery pack and includes six battery units, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 .

[0048] As described above, the motor 6 is assembled on the cup cover 5, the cup cover coupler 51 is arranged on the cup cover 5, and the support coupler 21 is arranged on the support 2, so that the control assembly 7 can control the motor 6 to work only when the cup cover coupler 51 on the cup cover 5 is inserted into the support coupler 21, and therefore, the handle 30 does not need to be provided with a coupler or other structure for controlling the motor 6 to drive, so that the handle 30 is not bulky, the structure is simple, and the handle 30 is more beautiful, for example, as shown in Figure 8 , Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the handle 30 is composed of a left handle 301, a right handle 302 and a handle cover sheet 303. In addition, the battery 81 is used as the power supply of the motor. On the premise of achieving low-voltage and large-current power supply through the battery, the cost of the food processor can be reduced and the volume of the food processor can be reduced. For example, if mains power is used, a step-down module needs to be set to reduce the mains power to the voltage at which the motor 6 works. The step-down module occupies a volume and has a higher cost than the battery. In addition, the battery 81 is used as the power supply of the motor. The volume occupied by the battery 81 is small, which is convenient for arrangement. The use of low-voltage and large-current power supply makes the food processor safer.

[0049] In some embodiments, the motor 6 is a bar type brushless outer rotor motor (such as a bar type brushless low-voltage outer rotor motor). See Figure 3 , the motor 6 includes a motor fixing frame 61, a motor stator 62 and a motor rotor 63. In the case of the motor 6 being a bar type brushless outer rotor motor, the motor rotor 63 directly contacts the food. Of course, in some embodiments, the motor 6 can also be other motors.

[0050] As described above, the bar type brushless outer rotor motor is used. On the one hand, the conventional series motor and the brushless motor are heavy and large in size. The motor placed in the product makes the whole machine relatively thick and heavy. The bar type brushless outer rotor motor is safer (such as reducing the risk of electric shock injury) and lighter (such as the cup cover 5, the motor 6 and the stirring knife 4 being taken out as a whole from the stirring cup 3, which is more convenient for cleaning) due to the structural reasons. On the other hand, the rotor of the bar type brushless motor directly contacts the food and directly stirs and whips the food without power transmission loss. On the other hand, after the bar type brushless motor 6 is used, only the top of the cup cover 5 is exposed outside the stirring cup 3, and the exposed height H is also low. For example, the exposed part has a height H, and 3mm≤H≤35mm.

[0051] See Figures 2 to 7 , the base 1 is provided with a base coupler 11 connected with the control assembly 7. The bottom of the stirring cup 3 is provided with a stirring cup coupler 32 and a heating element 33 connected with the stirring cup coupler 32. In some embodiments, the food processor further includes an NTC, and the stirring cup coupler 32 is further connected with the NTC, such as a 5-pin coupler 32 connected with the heating disc and the NTC. In the case of assembling the stirring cup 3 with the base 1, the base coupler 11 and the stirring cup coupler 32 are inserted, and the control assembly 7 controls the heating of the heating element 33.

[0052] As set forth above, since the stirring cup coupler 32 is connected with the base coupler 11, the base coupler 11 is connected with the control assembly 7, and the support coupler 21 is connected with the control assembly 7 without passing through the base coupler 11 and the control assembly 7, thereby, the cup cover coupler 51-support coupler 21-base coupler 11-control assembly 7 and the stirring cup coupler 32-base coupler 11-control assembly 7 are two independent paths, so as to facilitate the layout of the components of the food processor. For example, in the conventional idea, the support coupler 21 and the base coupler 11 are integrated into one coupler, so that the integrated coupler necessarily includes more terminals and has a large size, which occupies a large space on the bottom of the stirring cup 3 and the base 1 and is not convenient for the layout of other components. Further, in the case that the motor 6 of the present application is a bar type brushless outer rotor motor, a larger voltage is required, so that the current flowing through is very large, and the plug-in terminal needs to meet the requirement of large current. If a conventional coupler (6pin coupler) is used, it is not easy to meet such a requirement, and the conventional coupler is split into the base coupler 11 and the support coupler 21, and the corresponding pin is set according to the requirement, so as to meet the requirement of low-voltage large-current power supply for the motor 6 (for example, the support coupler 21 is a 3pin coupler, including one pin for grounding, which meets the functional requirement and the safety requirement). As for the base coupler 11, in order to meet the heating function and the NTC function, it can be a 5pin coupler.

[0053] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the control assembly 7 includes a main control board 71 and a power control board 72. The power control board 72 and the main control board 71 are stacked in the thickness direction of the base 1. The control assembly 7 further includes a main control board support 73 for assembling the main control board 71 and the power control board 72.

[0054] As set forth above, the main control board 71 and the power control board 72 are stacked in the thickness direction of the base 1, which can reduce the area occupied by the base 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the control assembly 7 is arranged in the base 1, and the control assembly 7 is connected with the support coupler 21 through a wire. The wire is not limited in how to be routed, for example, the wire is located in the interior of the support 2 and the interior of the base 1.

[0056] As set forth above, since the control assembly 7 is located on the base 1, and the support coupler 21 and the control assembly 7 are connected by wires, in combination with the support 2 standing on the base 1, there is no longer a need for a coupler between the support coupler 21 and the control assembly 7, the connection is simpler, and the structure of the base 1 and the support 2 is also simple, because they do not need to additionally provide a place for the wires to run or for the coupler to be arranged. In addition, the control assembly 7 is arranged on the base 1, compared with the control assembly 7 arranged on the cup cover 5, the structure of the cup cover 5 is simple, because the cup cover 5 does not need to reserve the structure for mounting the control assembly 7 and the structure for sealing the control assembly 7. In addition, during the heating process of the stirring cup, high-temperature steam will move towards the cup cover 5 and be discharged to the outside of the food processor, and the control assembly 7 is arranged on the base 1 instead of the cup cover 5, which avoids the control assembly 7 being in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment caused by the steam, thereby improving the service life.

[0057] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the base 1 comprises a mounting portion 12 for mounting the stirring cup, and the base 1 comprises a bottom wall 112 for contacting the workbench surface. Referring to Figure 6 , the base 1 comprises a base upper cover 111 and a bottom wall 112. The base upper cover 111 is provided with the mounting portion 12, and is also provided with a key plate 13 composed of functional keys. The key plate 13 is used to send control signals and the like to the control assembly 7. The battery 81 is located between the mounting portion 12 and the bottom wall 112. In the case where the mounting portion 12 is sunken to form a mounting cavity, the battery 81 is located between the bottom of the mounting cavity and the bottom wall 112.

[0058] As set forth above, the battery 81 is located between the mounting portion 12 and the bottom wall 112, compared with the battery 81 arranged in other ways, the battery 81 does not increase the area of the base, and the base 1 occupies a smaller area.

[0059] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the food processor comprises a battery box 82, and the battery 81 is assembled in the battery box 82. The battery box 82 is located in the base 1. The battery box 82 is provided with a insertion hole 821, and the base 1 is provided with an insertion column 14. In other embodiments, the battery box 82 can be provided with the insertion column 14, and the base 1 can be provided with the insertion hole 821. Regardless of how it is arranged, the insertion column 14 is inserted into the insertion hole 821. In the embodiments of the present application, the food processor comprises a screw, and the screw is locked through the insertion hole 821 and the insertion column 14. In some embodiments, the insertion column 14 and the insertion hole 821 can also be locked without the screw, for example, the base upper cover 111 and the bottom wall 112 are locked to achieve the locking of the insertion column 14 and the insertion hole 821.

[0060] As set forth above, the battery 81 is located in the battery box 82, preventing the risk of abnormality of the battery 81 to other components. By inserting the post 14 into the hole 821, the battery box 82 and the battery 81 are facilitated to be installed, and the battery 81 and the battery box 82 as a whole are not shaken and the like.

[0061] Referring to Figure 11 , the control assembly 7 comprises a main control board 71 and a power control board 72, the main control board 71 comprises a main machine control board 711 and a motor control board 712. The main machine control board 711 and the motor control board 712 can be independent control boards, or can be integrated into one board. The main machine control board 711 is used to realize various functions of the food processor, such as heating, controlling the motor to stir the food, and the like. The main machine control board 711 is powered by the power control board 72, and can also manage the power control board 72. The motor control board 712 communicates with the main machine control board 711 to realize the control of the motor 6, such as the control of the rotating speed and the like. The motor control board 712 is connected with the motor 6 through the support coupler 21 and the cup cover coupler 51, and is also connected with the battery 81 and the main machine control board 711, so that the motor 6 rotates and works or stops rotating based on the instructions accepted by the main machine control board 711 and the power supply of the battery 81.

[0062] The power control board 72 is connected with the battery 81, the main machine control board 711 and the mains, in Figure 11 , the power control board 72 comprises a power board 721, a charging board 722 and a power management board 723. The power board 721, the charging board 722 and the power management board 723 can be integrated into one board, or can be independent as shown in Figure 11 . The power board 721 as the main board can provide power to each component (such as the charging board 722, the main machine control board 711 and the heating element 33 and the like). The charging board 722 is powered by the power board 721 and supplies power to the power management board 723. The power management board 723 manages the battery 81, such as charging, discharging and the like.

[0063] In the related art, a switching power supply is used to supply power to the motor, and the cost and size of the switching power supply are large.

After the cup cover 5 is locked with the stirring cup 3, the cup cover 5 is not easy to shake, and no additional locking groove 531 needs to be provided, and the structure of the cup cover 5 is simple. The locking groove 531 located between the cup cover coupler mounting portion 52 and the cup cover body 50 also makes the cup cover 5 beautiful.

[0068] Referring to Figure 8 , the cup cover coupler 51 comprises a plug-in terminal 511 which is plugged with the support coupler 21; the cup cover coupler mounting portion 52 is connected with the cup cover body 50 through a shelter portion 53 which serves as a roof to shelter the plug-in terminal 511.

[0069] As described above, by providing the shelter portion 53 as a roof, the plug-in terminal 511 is located below the roof (shelter portion 53). When cleaning the cup cover 5 (in the embodiments of the present application, it is the whole of the cup cover 5, the motor 6 and the stirring blade 4), because of the sheltering effect of the shelter portion 53 as a roof, water flows downward along the side surface of the shelter portion 53 and the side surface of the cup cover coupler mounting portion 52 from the cup cover body 50, avoiding the water from entering the roof, which plays a waterproof role for the plug-in terminal 511, and the waterproof effect is good.

[0071] As described above, by locating one of the buckles 31 in one of the locking grooves 531 and in the positioning groove 222, a positioning structure is formed by the buckle 31 and the positioning groove 222, which facilitates the assembly of the stirring cup 3, the cup cover 5 and the support 2, and further ensures that the cup cover coupler 51 and the support coupler 21 are inserted when the cup cover 5 is locked with the stirring cup 3. By using one of the buckles 31 as part of the positioning structure, the positioning structure is simple and does not increase the complexity of the design of the food processor.

[0072] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the base 1 includes a mounting portion 12 which is sunken into a mounting cavity; the stirring cup 3 is placed in the mounting cavity and in contact with the bottom of the mounting cavity; and the bottom of the mounting cavity is flat.

[0073] As described above, since the mounting portion 12 is sunken into a mounting cavity and the bottom of the mounting cavity is flat, the bottom of the stirring cup 3 can also be flat or similar to a flat surface and can be placed on the bottom of the mounting cavity. On the one hand, the stirring cup 3 is located in the mounting cavity, which can reduce the overall height of the food processor; on the other hand, it is convenient to place the stirring cup 3 and the stirring cup 3 is not easy to shake; on the other hand, in the case where the stirring cup 3 includes a heating element 33, the stirring cup 3 can also be a health pot, etc., realizing the multi-scene application of the food processor and greatly increasing the product usage rate; realizing one machine with multiple functions, which is convenient for users to store.
