[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] See Figures 1-15 This food processor with interchangeable cooking containers includes a top cover 1 and a container assembly. The container assembly is connected to the top cover 1 to form a cooking state or a storage state. The container assembly includes a first cooking container 21 and a second cooking container 22. In the cooking state, one of the first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22 is connected to the top cover 1 to form a first cooking cavity 211 and a second cooking cavity 221 for placing food. The volume of the first cooking cavity 211 is smaller than the volume of the second cooking cavity 221. The top cover 1 is equipped with a cooking component for cooking the food in the first cooking cavity 211 or the second cooking cavity 221. By setting the first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22 to be compatible with the top cover 1, users can choose different connection combinations of the top cover 1 and the container assembly according to their needs, making the product adaptable to more different application scenarios.
[0037] Specifically, when the user is cooking a relatively small amount of food, such as for personal use, the first cooking container 21 can be connected to the lid 1. The volume of the first cooking cavity 211 is relatively small, which makes cooking food more efficient, more energy-saving, and occupies less space overall.
[0038] In this embodiment, the cooking component includes a conventional fan and a heating device. The hot air generated by the fan and the heating device can cook the food in the first cooking chamber 211 or the second cooking chamber 221. The specific structure and working principle of the cooking component are understandable to those skilled in the art.
[0039] When users are cooking a relatively large amount of food, such as in a family gathering environment suitable for multiple people, the second cooking container 22 can be connected with the lid 1. The second cooking cavity 221 has a relatively large volume, which can cook more food and reduce the user's waiting time.
[0040] Furthermore, a first support 31 is provided on the outer side of the first cooking container 21, and a first handle 311 is provided on the outer side of the first support 31. The user can lift the first cooking container 21 and the top cover 1 through the first handle 311, which facilitates user operation and reduces the chance of the user being burned.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottom outer side of the first cooking container 21 is provided with a first support foot 212. The first support foot 212 is in the shape of a ring with an inner hollowed-out side. The first support seat 31 is provided with a first limiting groove 312 corresponding to the first support foot 212. The first limiting groove 312 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first support foot 212 and mutually limiting and cooperating with each other, so that the first cooking container 21 is not easy to accidentally shift between the first support seat 31 and the first support seat 31, and the connection structure between the two is more stable.
[0042] Furthermore, the inner side of the first support 31 is provided with a first connecting rib 313. The first connecting rib 313 abuts against the outer side of the first cooking container 21 to form a first heat insulation cavity 314 between the first support 31 and the first cooking container 21. This can improve the structural strength of the first support 31. At the same time, it can prevent the heat from the first cooking container 21 from being easily conducted to the first support 31, and prevent the user from being burned when touching the first support 31.
[0043] Furthermore, a second support 32 is provided on the outer side of the second cooking container 22, and a second handle 321 is provided on the outer side of the second support 32. The user can lift the second cooking container 22 and the top cover 1 through the second handle 321, which facilitates user operation and reduces the chance of the user being burned.
[0044] Furthermore, the bottom outer side of the second cooking container 22 is provided with a second support foot 222. The second support foot 222 is in the shape of a ring with an inner hollowed-out side. The second support seat 32 is provided with a second limiting groove 322 corresponding to the second support foot 222. The second limiting groove 322 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second support foot 222 and mutually limiting and cooperating with each other, so that the second cooking container 22 is not easy to accidentally shift between the second support seat 32 and the second support seat 32, and the connection structure between the two is more stable.
[0045] Furthermore, the inner side of the second support 32 is provided with a second connecting rib 323. The second connecting rib 323 abuts against the outer side of the second cooking container 22 to form a second heat insulation cavity 324 between the second support 32 and the second cooking container 22. This can improve the structural strength of the second support 32. At the same time, it can prevent the heat from the second cooking container 22 from being easily conducted to the second support 32, so that the user's hand is less likely to be burned when touching the second support 32.
[0046] Furthermore, an installation ring 223 is connected to the upper side of the second cooking container 22. The inner side of the installation ring 223 is open at the upper position of the second cooking container 22. When the first cooking container 21 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the installation ring 223 is separated from the upper cover 1. When the second cooking container 22 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the installation ring 223 is connected and fixed to the upper cover 1 by the snap-fit mechanism 2231. The second cooking container 22 can achieve quick assembly and disassembly with the upper cover 1 through the installation ring 223.
[0047] Furthermore, the top cover 1 is connected to a micro switch 4, which is electrically connected to the cooking component. The trigger end of the micro switch 4 is provided with a first trigger element 51. The first cooking container 21 abuts against the first trigger element 51 to turn on the micro switch 4. Alternatively, the mounting ring 223 is provided with a second trigger element 52 for connecting and cooperating with the first trigger element 51. The second cooking container 22 abuts against the trigger end of the second trigger element 52 to turn on the micro switch 4. This ensures that the cooking component will not be accidentally activated if the first cooking container 21 or the second cooking container 22 is not properly installed with the top cover 1, thereby improving the safety of the equipment. At the same time, by setting the first trigger element 51 and the second trigger element 52, the same micro switch 4 can be triggered by either the first cooking container 21 or the second cooking container 22, eliminating the need to set different micro switches 4 for the first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22, thus reducing the material cost of the equipment.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, when the container assembly is connected and cooperated with the top cover 1 to form a storage state, the first cooking container 21 is connected and cooperated with the top cover 1. The first cooking container 21 is set inside the second cooking container 22. When the device is idle and needs to be stored, the space inside the second cooking container 22 can be better utilized to place the first cooking container 21, thus making better use of the space inside the second cooking container 22.
[0049] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
