Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a food processor base and 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. The functions of food processors mainly include, but are not limited to, making soy milk, juicing, rice paste, mincing meat, shaved ice, making coffee, and / or preparing face masks. Food processors can include soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders—machines that pulverize and mix food. Currently, food processors tend to produce a relatively high level of noise when operating. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a food processor base and a food processor that can reduce the noise generated when the food processor is working.

[0004] This application provides a food processor base. The base includes a base body, an air inlet area, and an air outlet area. The base body includes a bottom surface surrounding the air inlet and outlet areas, and feet disposed on the bottom surface. The bottom surface is a plane extending in a ring shape, and the feet protrude downwards from the bottom surface at a height between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. Because the bottom surface is a plane extending in a ring shape, and the feet protrude downwards from the bottom surface at a height between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm, only a small amount of noise generated by the motor during operation can be discharged from below the bottom surface, thereby reducing the noise generated by the food processor during operation. Furthermore, sufficient cold air can enter the outer casing from below the bottom surface, and the cold air, after passing through the motor, becomes hot air that can be quickly discharged from below the bottom surface, thus ensuring good heat dissipation.

[0005] Furthermore, the food processor base includes an air inlet wall, a bottom wall, and an air outlet wall disposed inside the base body. The bottom wall is located at the bottom end of the air inlet wall, and the bottom wall and the air inlet wall together form a receiving groove. The air outlet wall extends radially outward from the top of the air inlet wall. The air inlet area is disposed within the air inlet wall, and the air outlet area is disposed within the air outlet wall. In this way, cold air enters from the air inlet area, and hot air is discharged from the air outlet area, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the air outlet wall includes two oppositely arranged air outlet areas, and the air inlet wall includes one air inlet area, with the position of the one air inlet area on the circumference of the air inlet wall offset from the positions of the two air outlet areas on the circumference of the air outlet wall. This avoids interference between the air inlet and outlet, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the air intake area includes multiple air intake holes extending along the height direction of the air intake wall. The width of each air intake hole is greater than or equal to 4 mm, and the height of each air intake hole is greater than or equal to 13.5 mm. This ensures that sufficient cool air can quickly enter through the air intake holes, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency. Similarly, it ensures high hot air exhaust efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the air outlet area includes multiple air outlet holes extending radially along the air outlet wall. This results in high efficiency in hot air exhaust.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance from the air outlet area to the bottom surface of the foot pad is between 20.5 mm and 30 mm. This increases the time it takes for noise to travel from the air outlet area out of the casing, thus achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the foot pad protruding downwards from the bottom surface is L1, and the distance from the air outlet area to the bottom surface of the foot pad is L2, with the ratio of L2 to L1 being greater than or equal to 40. This increases the time it takes for noise to travel from the air outlet area out of the casing, achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the base body includes downward-protruding bumps on the bottom surface, the height of which is between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. These bumps prevent the foot pads from deforming over long-term use.

[0012] This application also provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a housing, comprising a housing body and a food processor base as described above, the food processor base being assembled to the bottom end of the housing body; a motor, assembled within the housing; and a blending cup assembly, assembled within the housing, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup and a blade assembly, the blade assembly being drivenly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0013] This application also provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a main unit, including a housing and a motor assembled within the housing, the housing including a shell body and a food processor base as described above, the food processor base being assembled to the bottom end of the shell body; and a blending cup assembly, detachably assembled to the main unit, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup and a blade assembly disposed at the bottom of the blending cup, the blade assembly being connected to the output shaft of the motor via a clutch.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. In the illustrated embodiment, the food processor 100 is a direct-drive food processor, which includes a housing 20, a motor 30, a mixing cup assembly 40, and a lid assembly 50 covering the mixing cup assembly 40.

[0021] In the illustrated embodiment, the outer casing 20 includes a casing body 21 and a food processor base 10, the food processor base 10 being assembled to the bottom end of the casing body 21. A motor 30 and a blending cup assembly 40 are respectively assembled inside the outer casing 20. A motor cover 39 is provided on the outside of the motor 30. The blending cup assembly 40 includes a blending cup 41 and a blade assembly 42, the blade assembly 42 being drivenly connected to the output shaft of the motor 30.

[0022] The food processor base 10 includes a base body 19, an air inlet area 11, and an air outlet area 12. The base body 19 includes a bottom surface 191 surrounding the air inlet area 11 and the air outlet area 12, and feet 192 disposed on the bottom surface 191. The bottom surface 191 is configured as a plane extending in a ring shape, and the feet 192 protrude downward from the bottom surface 191 at a height between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. When the food processor 100 is placed on a table, the gap between the bottom surface 191 and the table is between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. External cold air enters the outer casing 20 by passing through the gap between the bottom surface 191 and the table and the air inlet area 11. The cold air, after passing through the motor 30, becomes hot air and is discharged downward from the outside of the motor cover 39 by passing through the air outlet area 12 and the gap between the bottom surface 191 and the table, thereby achieving heat dissipation.

[0023] In some embodiments, the number of foot pads 192 can be set to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., and is not limited thereto. The height of the foot pads 192 protruding downward from the bottom surface 191 can be 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0024] Because the bottom surface 191 is designed as a plane extending in a ring shape, and the foot pads 192 protrude downwards from the bottom surface 191 at a height between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm, only a small amount of noise generated when the motor 30 is working can be discharged from below the bottom surface 191, thereby reducing the noise generated when the food processor 100 is working; and sufficient cold air can enter the outer casing from below the bottom surface 191, and the hot air that the cold air becomes after flowing through the motor 30 can be quickly discharged from below the bottom surface 191, thereby ensuring good heat dissipation.

[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, the food processor base 10 includes an air inlet wall 14, a bottom wall 15, and an air outlet wall 16 disposed inside the base body 19. The bottom wall 15 is disposed at the bottom end of the air inlet wall 14, and the bottom wall 15 and the air inlet wall 14 together form a receiving groove 17. The air outlet wall 16 extends radially outward from the top of the air inlet wall 14. The air inlet area 11 is disposed in the air inlet wall 14, and the air outlet area 12 is disposed in the air outlet wall 16. The fan blade 35 of the motor 30 is located within the receiving groove 17. Thus, cold air enters from the air inlet area 11, and hot air is discharged from the air outlet area 12, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0026] In the illustrated embodiment, the air outlet wall 16 includes two oppositely arranged air outlet areas 12, and the air inlet wall 14 includes one air inlet area 11. The position of the air inlet area 11 on the circumference of the air inlet wall 14 is offset from the position of the two air outlet areas 12 on the circumference of the air outlet wall 16. This avoids interference between the air intake and exhaust, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency. In other embodiments, the air outlet wall 16 includes one air outlet area 12, and the air inlet wall 14 includes one air inlet area 11 or two oppositely arranged air inlet areas 11. These are just some examples and are not limited to.

[0027] Preferably, the air inlet area 11 includes a plurality of air inlet holes 111 extending along the height direction of the air inlet wall 14. The width of each air inlet hole 111 is greater than or equal to 4 mm, and the height of each air inlet hole 111 is greater than or equal to 13.5 mm. This ensures that sufficient cool air can quickly enter through the air inlet holes 11, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency. In some embodiments, the width of the air inlet holes 111 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, etc., and the height of each air inlet hole 111 can be 13.5 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, etc.

[0028] In the illustrated embodiment, the air outlet zone 12 includes a plurality of air outlet holes 121 extending radially along the air outlet wall 16. This results in high efficiency in hot air exhaust.

[0029] Preferably, the distance from the air outlet area 12 to the bottom surface of the foot pad 192 is between 20.5 mm and 30 mm. This increases the time it takes for noise to travel from the air outlet area 12 out of the housing 20, achieving a noise reduction effect. In some embodiments, the distance from the air outlet area 12 to the bottom surface of the foot pad 192 can be 20.5 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm, 26 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values.

[0030] The foot pad 192 protrudes downwards from the bottom surface 191 at a height of L1, and the distance from the air outlet area 12 to the bottom surface of the foot pad 192 is L2. The ratio of L2 to L1 is greater than or equal to 40. This increases the time it takes for noise to travel from the air outlet area 12 out of the outer casing 20, achieving a noise reduction effect. In some embodiments, the ratio of L2 to L1 can be 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, etc., and is not limited to these.

[0031] The base body 19 includes a protrusion 18 protruding downwards from the bottom surface 191, the height of which is between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. The protrusion 18 is provided to prevent deformation of the foot pad 192 over long-term use. The height of the protrusion 18 can be 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0032] In another embodiment, the food processor is a non-direct-drive food processor. The food processor includes: a main unit, comprising a housing and a motor assembled within the housing, the housing including a shell body and a food processor base as described above, the food processor base being assembled to the bottom end of the shell body; and a blending cup assembly detachably assembled to the main unit, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup and a blade assembly disposed at the bottom of the blending cup, the blade assembly being connected to the output shaft of the motor via a clutch.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
