TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, in particular to a food processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Some food processors have both automatic crushing and automatic filtering functions. The required rotating speeds are different in the two working modes. For example, a high rotating speed is required for crushing to obtain a better crushing effect, while a low rotating speed is required for filtering to avoid eccentric vibration of the filter cylinder and loud noise caused by high-speed rotation. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a food processor which can output different rotating speeds to meet the rotating speed requirements of crushing and filtering.

[0004] A food processor comprises:

[0005] A main machine comprising a motor, a first circuit and a second circuit electrically connected to the motor, the motor comprising a first terminal, a second terminal and a motor shaft, the motor being connected to the first circuit through the first terminal and connected to the second circuit through the second terminal;

[0006] A cup assembly comprising a cup body and a stirring part and a filtering part installed on the cup body, the cup assembly being detachably installed on the main machine in a first installation mode and a second installation mode, the installation mode in which the stirring part is engaged with the motor shaft being the first installation mode, the installation mode in which the filtering part is engaged with the motor shaft being the second installation mode, the first circuit being connected in the first installation mode, so that the motor shaft drives the stirring part to rotate at a first rotating speed, the second circuit being connected in the second installation mode, so that the motor shaft drives the filtering part to rotate at a second rotating speed, the first rotating speed being different from the second rotating speed.

[0007] The food processor provided by the present application can trigger the connection of the first circuit when the cup assembly is installed in the main machine in the first installation mode, and trigger the connection of the second circuit when the cup assembly is installed in the main machine in the second installation mode. The motor can output different rotating speeds when connected to the first circuit and the second circuit, so that the motor shaft can output different rotating speeds, and the stirring part and the filtering part can rotate at different rotating speeds, respectively.

[0008] Optionally, the stirring part comprises a first trigger part, and the filtering part comprises a second trigger part, in the first installation mode, the first trigger part triggers the first circuit to be turned on, and in the second installation mode, the second trigger part triggers the second circuit to be turned on. In this scheme, the trigger mode is associated with the installation mode. When the stirring part is engaged with the motor shaft, the first trigger part of the stirring part can trigger the first circuit to be turned on. When the filtering part is engaged with the motor shaft, the second trigger part of the filtering part can trigger the second circuit to be turned on. Thus, the motor shaft is ensured to rotate at a corresponding speed, meeting the speed requirements of stirring and filtering, and the trigger mode is reliable and cannot cause false triggering.

[0009] Optionally, the host further comprises a first switch part for turning on the first circuit under the action force of the first trigger part, and a second switch part for turning on the second circuit under the action force of the second trigger part.

When the stirring part and the cup body are in the installed state, the first trigger part is extended from the stirring base under the abutment of the cup body and remains fixed. When the stirring part and the cup body are in the disassembled state, the first trigger part can be retracted into the stirring base.

When the filter part is mistakenly mounted on the main machine alone, the second trigger part is in a free state, the second trigger part cannot trigger the second circuit to be turned on, and the motor shaft cannot rotate, so that the use is safer.

[0013] Optionally, the main machine further comprises a controller, in the first mounting mode, the controller can receive a first signal, and the controller controls the first circuit to be turned on according to the first signal, and in the second mounting mode, the controller can receive a second signal, and the controller controls the second circuit to be turned on according to the second signal.

In the stirring mode and the filtering mode, the on position of the on-off key can be shared, a single-gear double-speed function is realized, the structure is simple, and the operation is convenient.

[0016] Optionally, the main machine further comprises an electrically connected controller and a function adjustment key, the function adjustment key is used for outputting an adjustment signal to the controller, and the controller executes corresponding whipping modes and / or filtering modes according to the adjustment signal. In this way, the food materials can be finely whipped and filtered, and different drinking needs of users can be met.
