[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0024] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a food processor with a pulp-juice separation function includes a body 1. A motor 2 and a cup body 3 are housed within the body 1. The cup body 3 is positioned above the motor 2, and a heating plate 4 is connected to its outer bottom surface. The output shaft of the motor 2 extends into the inner cavity of the cup body 3 and is connected to a stirring blade assembly 5. A cup lid assembly 6 is provided on the movable lid of the cup body 3. A pulp-juice separation cover 7 is also provided within the inner cavity of the cup body 3, covering the outside of the stirring blade assembly 5. The pulp-juice separation cover 7 has a hollow structure, forming an upper port 701 and a lower port 702. An annular positioning wall 8 is stretched and formed on the bottom wall of the cup body 3. The lower port 702 of the pulp-juice separation cover 7 is nested with the annular positioning wall 8. A positioning retaining ring 9 extends downward from the cup lid assembly 6 and is concentrically arranged with the annular positioning wall 8. The upper port 701 of the pulp-juice separation cover 7 is nested with the positioning retaining ring 9.

[0025] The pulp and juice separation cover 7 in this food processor is positioned by matching the upper and lower ends, which makes it easy to install and prevents the pulp and juice separation cover 7 from shaking during use. The cup body 3 with the pulp and juice separation cover 7 is also easier to clean and will not burn during heating.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the cup body 3 is stretched upward with a positioning boss 31, the stirring blade assembly 5 is located on the upper side of the positioning boss 31, and the side of the positioning boss 31 forms an annular positioning wall 8. The lower port 702 of the residue separation cover 7 is tightly nested on the outside of the positioning boss 31. The shape of the positioning boss 31 matches the lower port 702. Through the cooperation between the positioning boss 31 and the lower port 702, the bottom of the residue separation cover 7 can be quickly positioned, improving the installation efficiency.

[0027] Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom wall of the cup body 3 may also be stretched downward to have a positioning groove, and the groove wall of the positioning groove forms an annular positioning wall 8, and the lower part of the residue separation cover 7 is embedded in the inner side of the positioning groove (this embodiment is not shown in the attached drawings).

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper port 701 of the sludge-juice separation cover 7 has a larger diameter than the positioning retaining ring 9. The upper port 701 is nested on the outside of the positioning retaining ring 9 and forms a clearance fit or an interference fit with the positioning retaining ring 9. This structure, through the mutual nesting of the upper port 701 of the sludge-juice separation cover 7 and the positioning retaining ring 9, can quickly achieve the positioning of the top of the sludge-juice separation cover 7 and improve the installation efficiency.

[0029] The bottom edge of the residue-juice separation cover 7 extends outward with a circumferentially arranged support flange 71, which movably abuts against the bottom wall of the cup body 3. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the residue-juice separation cover 7 and the positioning boss 31 are tightly fitted or interference-fitted. However, when there is a gap between the residue-juice separation cover 7 and the positioning boss 31, the support of the support flange 71 can reduce the shaking of the residue-juice separation cover 7 and improve the stability of the residue-juice separation cover 7.

[0030] The cup lid assembly 6 includes an upper cover 61 and a top cover 62. The upper cover 61 has a feeding port 611 at its center. The top cover 62 is detachably installed inside the feeding port 611. The positioning retaining ring 9 extends downward from the edge of the feeding port 611. The feeding port 611 is directly connected to the upper port 701 of the residue separation cover 7, and the feeding port 611 facilitates feeding the cup body during use.

[0031] The side wall of the residue-juice separation cover 7 is provided with multiple residue-juice separation holes 72; the inner wall of the cup body 3 is provided with several longitudinally extending turbulence ribs 32; the extension height of the turbulence ribs 32 is the same as or close to the opening height of the residue-juice separation holes 72; the residue-juice separation cover 7 can trap the soybeans or soybean crumbs inside the residue-juice separation cover 7, and even if the soybeans or soybean crumbs sink to the bottom, they will not come into contact with the high temperature position of the bottom wall of the cup body (the position connected to the heating element), thereby avoiding scorching at the bottom. It is only necessary to fully mix the soybean powder and water through the residue-juice separation holes 72 and then boil the soy milk after heating at high temperature.

[0032] The cup lid assembly 6 has a sensor seat 63 on its side, and a starting block 10 is provided inside the sensor seat 63. The starting block 10 is a magnetic block. The outer side wall of the body 1 has a handle 11. The handle 11 has a safety switch 12 near the starting block 10. The safety switch 12 is a Hall switch. When the sensor seat 63 corresponds to the handle 11, the starting block 10 triggers the safety switch 12 to ensure that the cup lid assembly 6 is installed in place before the food processor can be started.

[0033] The residue separation cover 7 is a circular straight cylinder structure made of metal, with a uniform internal diameter from top to bottom. This structure allows for fully open upper and lower ports, facilitating the entry and exit of cleaning tools and making cleaning more thorough and clean, thus avoiding the problem of dirt accumulation in traditional residue separation structures with corners at the bottom. Example 2

[0034] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that: See Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the positioning retaining ring 9 is provided with an inclined guide surface 901. The diameter of the positioning retaining ring 9 gradually increases from bottom to top through the guide surface 901. During the installation of the cup lid assembly 6 to the cup mouth, the positioning retaining ring 9, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, helps to be embedded into the upper port 701 of the residue separation cover 7. Moreover, as the cup lid assembly 6 is installed deeper, the positioning retaining ring 9 can form an interference fit with the residue separation cover 7, thereby making the installation of the residue separation cover 7 more stable, firm and not loose.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that: See Figure 6 As shown, when the diameter of the upper port 701 of the residue separation cover 7 is smaller than that of the positioning retaining ring 9, the upper port 701 is nested inside the positioning retaining ring 9 and forms a clearance fit or an interference fit with the positioning retaining ring 9. That is, in Embodiment 1, the residue separation cover 7 is nested outside the positioning retaining ring 9, while in Embodiment 3, the residue separation cover 7 is nested inside the positioning retaining ring 9. Other structures and principles are the same as in Embodiment 1 and will not be described in detail.

[0037] The above describes the preferred embodiments of this utility model, illustrating and describing its basic principles, main features, and advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
