[0009] In some embodiments, the sealing structure further includes a second elastic element, the two ends of which abut against the body and the first seal respectively, to apply a downward elastic force to the first seal.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first seal is provided with a first mating inclined surface, and the second seal is provided with a second mating inclined surface. The first mating inclined surface and the second mating inclined surface are slidably engaged so that when the first seal moves in the up and down direction to open or close the air inlet, the second seal can rotate to open or close the air outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first seal is provided with a first mating block in the direction of the center of the body, and the first mating block is provided with a first mating slope; the second seal is provided with a second mating block in the direction of the center of the body, and the second mating block is provided with a second mating slope.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second seal is provided with a mating interface that overlaps or intersects with the air outlet to enable the air outlet to be opened or closed.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom of the body protrudes away from the center of the body to form a mounting cylinder, the side wall of the mounting cylinder is provided with the air outlet, the second sealing member is provided with a guide cylinder, the guide cylinder is movably disposed in the mounting cylinder, and is provided with the docking interface.

[0014] In some embodiments, a limiting block is provided on the body along the rotation direction of the second seal, the limiting block being used to limit the rotation angle of the second seal.

[0015] In some embodiments, the machine body is provided with multiple air inlets, which surround the air outlet. The waterproof food processor includes multiple first seals, with one first seal corresponding to one air inlet.

[0016] In summary, the waterproof food processor provided by this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0017] By setting a sealing structure on the machine body, the first and second sealing elements in the sealing structure can open the air inlet under the pushing force of the supporting surface, thereby dissipating heat.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The waterproof food processor 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a body 10 and a sealing structure 20.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The bottom of the body 10 is provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12; the sealing structure 20 is movably installed on the body 10, including a first sealing member 21 and a second sealing member 22 that are in contact with each other. The first sealing member 21 is provided corresponding to the air inlet 11, and the second sealing member 22 is provided corresponding to the air outlet 12. When the body 10 is placed on the support surface, the first sealing member 21 or the second sealing member 22 can receive the pushing force from the support surface, so that the first sealing member 21 and the second sealing member 22 open the corresponding air inlet 11 or air outlet 12. When the body 10 is removed from the support surface, the first sealing member 21 and the second sealing member 22 can close the corresponding air inlet 11 or air outlet 12.

[0035] The aforementioned waterproof food processor 100, by setting a sealing structure 20 on the body 10, allows the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 in the sealing structure 20 to open the air inlet 11 under the pushing force of the supporting surface, thereby dissipating heat. At the same time, when the waterproof food processor 100 needs to be cleaned, the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 can seal the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. For example, they can move downwards by their own gravity to close the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, preventing cleaning water from entering the body 10 from the air inlet 11 or the air outlet 12, ensuring the normal use of the machine, and also facilitating the user to clean the body 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the body 10 includes a stirring cup 13, a shell 14 covering the stirring cup 13, a handle 15 on the shell 14, a stirring blade 18 inside the stirring cup 13, and a motor 16 and a cooling fan 17 inside the shell 14. The bottom of the shell 14 is provided with the aforementioned air inlet 11 and air outlet 12. One end of the output shaft of the motor 16 is connected to the stirring blade 18, and the other end is connected to the cooling fan 17. Driven by the motor 16, not only does it drive the stirring blade 18 to rotate, but it also drives the cooling fan 17. The airflow driven by the cooling fan 17 enters through the air inlet 11, flows through the motor 16 to remove the heat generated by the motor 16, and then flows out through the air outlet 12.

[0037] The pushing force of the support surface can be that the support surface is provided with a pushing component to push the sealing structure to move, or the sealing structure protrudes from the body 10. When the body 10 is placed on the surface of the support surface, the opposite force of the gravity of the body 10 acts on the sealing structure 20 to push the sealing structure 20 to move and open the air vent.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first sealing member 21 and the second sealing member 22 can open the air inlet 11 in the following ways:

[0039] (1) The first seal 21 receives the pushing force from the support surface, which pushes the first seal 21 to move upward. The upward movement of the first seal 21 simultaneously applies an upward pushing force to the second seal 22, causing the second seal 22 to move upward. The upward movement of the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 opens the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. When the entire food processor is lifted away from the support surface, it moves downward under the weight of the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 to close the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

[0040] (2) The second seal 22 receives the pushing force from the support surface and moves upward. The second seal 22 applies an upward pushing force to the first seal 21 to drive the first seal 21 to move upward. The upward movement of the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 opens the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. When the entire food processor is lifted away from the support surface, it moves downward under the weight of the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 to close the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first sealing member 21 has a push post 213 protruding from the body 10, which is used to receive the upward push force from the support surface, that is, the reaction force from the gravity of the food processor, and can drive the second sealing member 22 to move upward. Thus, the upward movement of the first sealing member 21 drives the second sealing member 22 to move upward, thereby opening the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

[0042] In one embodiment, when the first sealing element 21 drives the second sealing element 22 to move upward, the first sealing element 21 may be provided with a plug-in block that inserts into the second sealing element 22, and the upward movement of the first sealing element 21 drives the upward movement of the second sealing element 22.

[0043] It is understandable that there is a certain distance between the air inlet 11 and the bottom of the body 10. When the push column 213 moves upward, it can be partially inside the body 10 and partially outside the body 10, which can also open the air inlet 11.

[0044] Please see Figures 2 to 10 In another embodiment of the present invention, the sealing structure 20 includes a first sealing member 21 that also has a push post 213 protruding from the body 10. The push post 213 is used to receive an upward push force from the support surface. The sealing structure 20 also includes a first elastic member 23, the two ends of which abut against the body 10 and the second sealing member 22 respectively, so as to apply an upward elastic force to the second sealing member 22. Thus, when the first sealing member 21 receives an upward push force, the first elastic member 23 simultaneously applies an upward push force to the second sealing member 22, so that the second sealing member 22 can quickly open the air outlet 12.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 5 to 10When installing the first elastic member 23, a mounting post 141 is provided on the outer shell 14, the first elastic member 23 is sleeved on the mounting post 141, and the second sealing member 22 is provided with a sleeve 221 corresponding to the mounting post 141. The sleeve 221 is movably sleeved on the outer shell of the mounting post 141, the first elastic member 23 is housed in the sleeve 221, and the sleeve 221 is provided with a second screw 40. The sleeve 221 can move relative to the second screw 40, thereby realizing that the two ends of the first elastic member 23 abut against the body 10 and the second sealing member 22 respectively, so as to apply elastic force to the second sealing member 22.

[0046] Furthermore, to ensure the sealing of the air inlet 11 and air outlet 12 when the cooking cup is lifted off the support surface, the sealing structure 20 includes a second elastic element 24. The two ends of the second elastic element 24 abut against the body 10 and the first seal 21 respectively, so as to apply a downward elastic force to the first seal 21. That is, under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic element 23, the second seal 22 has an upward tendency to move. However, under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic element 24, since it is opposite to the direction of the elastic force of the first elastic element 23, the second seal 22 is kept in a stationary state, and the first seal 21 is also kept in a stationary state. When the first seal 21 is subjected to an upward pushing force, the first elastic element 23 drives the second seal 22 to move upward, and at the same time can compress the first elastic element 23 to prepare for the reset of the first seal 21 and the second seal 22. The setting of the second elastic element 24 makes it possible for the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 to return to their original positions quickly, and ensures that the second seal 22 is in a stationary state.

[0047] When the second elastic member 24 is set, the bottom shell 143 is provided with a guide post 145, the second elastic member 24 is sleeved on the guide post 125, the guide post 125 is provided with a first screw 30, and the two ends of the second elastic member 24 abut against the first sealing member 21 and the head of the first screw 30 respectively, so as to compress the second elastic member 24 when the first sealing member 21 moves upward.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10Based on the first elastic element 23 and the second elastic element 24, the first sealing element 21 is provided with a first mating inclined surface 211, and the second sealing element 22 is provided with a second mating inclined surface 222. The first mating inclined surface 211 and the second mating inclined surface 222 slide together, so that when the first sealing element 21 moves in the up and down direction to open or close the air inlet 11, the second sealing element 22 opens or closes the air outlet 12 by rotation. Thus, when the food processor is detached from the support surface, although the first elastic element 23 has an upward driving force for the second sealing element 22, the second sealing element 22 can remain stationary under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic element 24 and the cooperation of the two inclined surfaces. Through the cooperation of the first mating inclined surface 211 and the second mating inclined surface 222, when the first sealing element 21 is subjected to an upward pushing force, the second mating inclined surface 222 moves along the first mating inclined surface 211, so that the second sealing element 22 gradually rotates during the upward process to open the air outlet 12.

[0049] Specifically, when setting the first mating inclined surface 211 and the second mating inclined surface 222, the first sealing member 21 is provided with a first mating block 212 in the direction of the center of the body 10, and the first mating block 212 is provided with the first mating inclined surface 211. The second sealing member 22 is provided with a second mating block 223 in the direction of the center of the body 10, and the second mating block 223 is provided with the second mating inclined surface 222. By setting the first mating block 212 and the second mating block 223 in the direction of the center of the body 10, the space inside the body 10 can be fully utilized.

[0050] Specifically, the structure of the first seal 21 is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it includes a substrate 214, a push post 213 disposed on one side of the substrate 214, and a first mating block 212 disposed on the other side of the substrate 214. The substrate 214 is used to block or open the air inlet 11.

[0051] Specifically, when the second seal 22 opens or closes the air outlet 12, it has a mating interface 224 that overlaps or intersects with the air outlet 12 to open or close the air outlet 12. This allows the second seal 22 to be configured as a ring, ensuring rotational stability through the ring structure. In other embodiments, the second seal 22 can also be configured with a central angle less than 360 degrees, i.e., it has a notch. When the notch is opposite to the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 is opened; when the body structure of the second seal 22 is opposite to the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 is blocked.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 4This is a schematic diagram of the outer shell 14 of the body 10 in this embodiment. The outer shell 14 includes an upper shell 142 and a bottom shell 143. The upper shell 142 surrounds the cooking cup and motor 16, etc. The bottom shell 143 is provided with an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12, and is also provided with the aforementioned mounting post 141. Please refer to... Figures 5 to 10 When forming the air outlet 12, the bottom of the body 10 protrudes away from the center of the body 10 to form the mounting cylinder 144. The side wall of the mounting cylinder 144 is provided with the air outlet 12. The second sealing member 22 is provided with a guide cylinder 225. The guide cylinder 225 is movably disposed in the mounting cylinder 144 and is provided with a connection interface 224. In this way, by setting the air outlet 12 on the side, water that may flow from the support surface into the body 10 when the body 10 is placed on the support surface is prevented.

[0053] Specifically, the structure of the second seal 22 is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it includes a guide cylinder 225, a sleeve 221 located at the center of the guide cylinder 225, and a mounting wall 226 extending from the center of the body 10 on the guide cylinder 225. The mounting wall 226 is provided with a second mating block 223 and a bottom shell 143 that can support the mounting wall 226.

[0054] Further, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 as well as Figure 10 Since the second seal 22 opens or closes the air outlet 12 by lifting and rotating, a limiting block 19 is provided on the bottom shell 143 of the body 10 along the rotation direction of the second seal 22. The limiting block 19 is used to limit the rotation angle of the second seal 22. Thus, by setting the limiting block 19, the second seal 22 is prevented from rotating excessively.

[0055] Please see Figures 5 to 10 In this embodiment, the food processor is configured such that the body 10 has multiple air inlets 11 surrounding the air outlet 12. The waterproof food processor 100 includes multiple first sealing elements 21, with each first sealing element 21 corresponding to one air inlet 11. Thus, the arrangement of multiple air inlets 11 ensures sufficient air intake. Furthermore, the side wall of the mounting cylinder 144 has multiple spaced air outlets 12, and the guide cylinder 225 has multiple spaced connection interfaces 224. A connecting rib 227 is located between every two connection interfaces 224. When the connecting rib 227 faces the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 is blocked; when the connection interface 224 faces the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 is opened.

[0056] The aforementioned waterproof food processor 100, by setting a first elastic element 23 and a second elastic element 24, has two elastic forces in opposite directions. The first elastic element 23 enables the second sealing element 22 to move upward quickly, and the second elastic element 24 enables the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 to be in a stable supporting state against the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, and enables the second sealing element 22 to remain in a stable stationary state.

[0057] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
