[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A shock-absorbing structure is used in a food processor. The food processor includes a base, a housing disposed at a first end of the base, and a motor disposed inside the housing. The shock-absorbing structure includes: feet made of flexible material, disposed at the four corners of the second end of the base; studs disposed at the four corners of the second end of the housing, corresponding to the feet; and screws passing through the feet and the base and threadedly connected to the second end of the studs.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the first end of the motor is fixed to the top of the inside of the housing, and a pad is provided between the first end of the motor and the top of the inside of the housing. The pad is sleeved on the outside of the output end of the motor and the pad is made of flexible material.
[0010] This utility model also discloses a food processor equipped with the aforementioned shock-absorbing structure, characterized in that the food processor includes: a base; a shell, disposed at a first end of the base; a hollow housing, disposed at the first end of the base, positioned inside the shell; a cup body, disposed at the first end of the housing, positioned inside the shell; a motor, fixed inside the housing, with its output end passing through the first end of the housing and the second end of the cup body and extending into the cup body; a blade assembly, disposed on the output end, positioned inside the cup body; and a lid, disposed at the first end of the cup body.
[0011] A further technical solution is that a flange is provided on the outer side of the first end of the cup body, and the flange and the outer side of the cup body form a third groove with a second end opening, and the first end of the outer shell extends into the third groove; the food processor also includes a first sealing ring, the first end of the outer shell is inserted into the second end of the first sealing ring, the first sealing ring is inserted into the third groove, and the first sealing ring and the third groove are interference-fitted.
[0012] A further technical solution is that a second extension extends from the second end of the cover, the second extension extends into the cup body, and a second sealing ring is fitted on the outer side of the second extension, the second sealing ring being interference-fitted with the inner wall of the cup body.
[0013] A further technical solution is that the cover is provided with an installation hole, and the food processor also includes a vent plug, which is made of a flexible material and is inserted into the installation hole.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the foot pad is snapped onto the second end of the base.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:
[0017] (I) The shock-absorbing structure of this utility model embodiment, by setting studs at the four corners of the second end of the housing, suspends the housing within the base, increasing the vibration transmission distance and attenuating the vibration force when it reaches the contact point between the studs and the base. Simultaneously, the screws pass through the feet and the base and are threadedly connected to the second end of the studs. Because the feet are made of flexible material, they can absorb and disperse the vibration and collision between the studs and the base through their own deformation, greatly reducing vibration and noise during the operation of the food processor and improving the user experience. Furthermore, this embodiment has a simple structure and low cost.
[0018] (ii) Furthermore, the first extension of the first end of the foot pad passes through the first through hole, and the column of the second end of the stud passes through the second through hole, so that the side of the column and the shell are also in flexible contact, which reduces the vibration and collision between the side of the column and the side of the shell, further reducing the vibration and noise when the food processor is working, and improving the user experience again.
[0019] (iii) Furthermore, by using flexible connections between the cup body and the outer shell, between the cup body and the lid, and between the lid and the vent plug, the whole process forms a shock absorption and noise reduction system for the food processor. The internal parts transmit the vibration to the external parts through multiple absorptions and dispersions, and the overall vibration and noise of the food processor are significantly improved when it is working.

[0030] First embodiment:
[0031] This embodiment discloses a vibration damping structure.
[0032] The shock-absorbing structure is used in the food processor. In this embodiment, the food processor is a soy milk maker. Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solution disclosed herein can also be applied to other types of food processors that require a motor 8 to drive the working parts to rotate, such as choppers, juicers, meat grinders, blenders, and mixers.
[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the food processor of this utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the food processor includes a base 1, a housing 2 disposed at the first end of the base 1, and a motor 8 disposed inside the housing 2.
[0034] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the shock absorption structure of this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, the shock-absorbing structure includes foot pads 3, studs 21, and screws 4.
[0035] The foot pads 3 are made of flexible material and are located at the four corners of the second end of the base 1. Specifically, the flexible materials include silicone, nitrile rubber, TPE, etc., which have good flexibility while also being heat-resistant and non-toxic.
[0036] Studs 21 are located at the four corners of the second end of the housing 2, corresponding to the positions of the feet 3. Screws 4 pass through the feet 3 and the base 1 and are threaded to the second end of the studs 21. The screws 4 and studs 21 clamp and fix the housing 2 and the feet 3.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, further, a second groove 31 is formed at the second end of the foot pad 3, and the inner diameter of the second groove 31 is larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 33. Tighten the screw 4, and the head of the screw 4 presses against the top of the inner side of the second groove 31 to hide the screw 4, so that the foot pad 3 contacts the flat surface on which the food processor is placed instead of the screw 4 contacting the flat surface on which the food processor is placed, ensuring that the food processor makes elastic contact with the flat surface and reducing vibration and noise during operation.
[0038] Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the housing and motor of the food processor of this utility model. Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, the first end of the motor 8 is fixed to the inner top of the housing 2. For example, the first end of the motor 8 is screwed to the first end of the housing. A spacer 81 is also provided between the first end of the motor 8 and the inner top of the housing 2, and the spacer 81 is fitted onto the outside of the output end of the motor 8. The spacer 81 is made of flexible material and provides buffering and shock absorption between the motor 8 and the housing 2, further reducing the transmission of vibration from the motor 8 to the housing 2.
[0039] In this embodiment, studs 21 are installed at the four corners of the second end of the housing 2, allowing the housing 2 to be suspended within the base 1. This increases the vibration transmission distance, causing the vibration force to be attenuated when it reaches the contact point between the studs 21 and the base 1. Simultaneously, screws 4 pass through the feet 3 and the base 1 and are threadedly connected to the second end of the studs 21. Because the feet 3 are made of flexible material, they can absorb and disperse the vibration and collision between the studs 21 and the base 1 through their own deformation, greatly reducing vibration and noise during the operation of the food processor and improving the user experience. Furthermore, this embodiment has a simple structure and low cost.
[0040] Second embodiment:
[0041] Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment further optimizes and refines the foot pad 3.
[0042] like Figure 3As shown, a first through hole 12 is provided on the base 1, and a first extension 32 extends from the first end of the foot pad 3. The first extension 32 passes through the first through hole 12, and a second through hole 33 is provided inside the first extension 32. A column 22 extends from the second end of the stud 21. The outer diameter of the column 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the stud 21, and the column 22 passes through the second through hole 33.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first extension 32 of the first end of the foot pad 3 passes through the first through hole 12, and the column 22 of the second end of the stud 21 passes through the second through hole 33, so that the side of the column 22 and the shell 2 are also in flexible contact, which reduces the vibration and collision between the side of the column 22 and the side of the shell 2, further reducing the vibration and noise when the food processor is working, and improving the user experience again.
[0044] Third embodiment:
[0045] This embodiment discloses a food processor.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the food processor is equipped with the shock-absorbing structure of either the first or second embodiment. The food processor includes a base 1, a housing 5, a shell 2, a cup body 6, a motor 8, a blade assembly 9, and a lid 7. The housing 5 is located at the first end of the base 1. The shell 2 is a hollow structure, located at the first end of the base 1, positioned inside the housing 5. The cup body 6 is located at the first end of the shell 2, positioned inside the shell 5. The motor 8 is fixed inside the shell 2, with its output end passing through the first end of the shell 2 and the second end of the cup body 6 and extending into the cup body 6. The blade assembly 9 is located on the output end, positioned inside the cup body 6. The lid 7 is located at the first end of the cup body 6.
[0047] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the cup body and the outer shell in the food processor of this utility model. Figure 5 As shown, further, a flange 61 is provided on the outer side of the first end of the cup body 6. The flange 61 and the outer side of the cup body 6 form a third groove 62 with an opening at the second end. The first end of the outer shell 5 extends into the third groove 62. The food processor also includes a first sealing ring 63. The first end of the outer shell 5 is inserted into the second end of the first sealing ring 63, and the first sealing ring 63 is inserted into the third groove 62. The first sealing ring 63 and the third groove 62 are interference-fitted, which avoids direct contact between the cup body 6 and the outer shell 5. The deformation of the first sealing ring 63 absorbs and disperses the vibration between the cup body 6 and the outer shell 5, and at the same time seals the gap between the cup body 6 and the outer shell 5, preventing external impurities from entering the food processor and improving the service life of the food processor.
[0048] like Figure 2As shown, further, a second extension 71 extends from the second end of the lid 7 and extends into the cup body 6. A second sealing ring 72 is fitted on the outside of the second extension 71. The second sealing ring 72 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the cup body 6. The deformation of the second sealing ring 72 absorbs and disperses the vibration between the cup body 6 and the lid 7, and at the same time seals the cup body 6 to prevent external impurities from entering the cup body 6, thus ensuring the quality and safety of the food.
[0049] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the lid in the food processor of this utility model. Figure 6 As shown, the lid 7 is further provided with a mounting hole 73. The food processor also includes a vent plug 74. The vent plug 74 is made of flexible material. The vent plug 74 is inserted into the mounting hole 73. The vent plug 74 absorbs and disperses the vibration of the lid 7 through its own deformation, while ensuring the pressure balance and air quality inside the cup 6, thus ensuring the safety of the food and the food processor.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the foot pad 3 is further engaged with the second end of the base 1. Exemplarily, the second end of the base 1 has a first groove 11, and the first end of the first groove 11 has a first through hole 12. The foot pad 3 is engaged in the first groove 11 to ensure that the foot pad 3 is in the correct position, while preventing excessive deformation of the foot pad 3.
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, furthermore, the first end of the base 1 is snapped into the second end of the housing 2. For example, the first end of the base 1 is provided with a first ring (not shown in the figure), which is sleeved on the inside of the four studs 21 to ensure that the axis of the housing 2 is aligned with the axis of the base 1, thereby ensuring that the axis of the motor 8 is in the correct position and ensuring the stability of the food processor during operation.
[0052] In this embodiment, by using flexible connections between the cup body 6 and the outer shell 5, between the cup body 6 and the cup lid, and between the cup lid and the vent plug 74, the whole constitutes the shock absorption and noise reduction system of the food processor. The internal parts transmit the noise to the external parts through multiple absorptions and dispersions, and the overall vibration and noise of the food processor are significantly improved when it is working.
[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
