Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processor technology, and in particular to a combination blending cup and food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors are machines that use an electric motor to crush and extrude food. Taking a high-speed blender as an example, during the high-speed rotation of the motor, the mixing blades can instantly break down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, efficiently processing the ingredients.

[0003] To simplify the blending process and facilitate cleaning, blending jars are often designed with an expanded shape, meaning the opening is wider than the bottom. However, with this design, the side panels of the jar only serve to contain the food. The centrifugal force generated during blending can cause food to accumulate near the side panels. Food near the side panels is difficult for the blades to cut and blend, affecting the final cooking result.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined blending cup and food processor to improve the food processing effect of the food processor.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The combined stirring cup includes:

[0008] The cup body includes a base plate and a first side plate surrounding the base plate; the base plate and the first side plate together form an upward-opening cavity; a transverse step is provided on the first side plate, and the first side plate is bent away from the cavity to form the step;

[0009] A cup lid is fitted onto the cup body; the cup lid includes a top plate and a second side plate surrounding the top plate; the second side plate extends into the cavity and contacts the step;

[0010] The second side plate is inclined, and the side of the second side plate away from the top plate forms a cover; the area of ​​the cover is greater than the area of ​​the second side plate surrounding the top plate.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the first side plate is inclined, and the side of the first side plate away from the bottom plate forms a cup opening; the area of ​​the cup opening is greater than the area of ​​the first side plate surrounding the bottom plate.

[0012] A further technical solution is that a first extension portion is provided laterally on the cup lid; the end of the first side plate away from the bottom plate contacts the lower surface of the first extension portion.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the second side plate is also provided with a second extension and a third extension; the second extension and the third extension are disposed toward the first side plate.

[0014] A further technical solution is that a sealing ring is provided between the first side plate and the second side plate; the sealing ring is provided between the first extension and the second extension.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the second side plate, away from the end of the top plate, bends toward one side of the first side plate to form a bent portion; the bent portion contacts the step.

[0016] A further technical solution is that the inner surfaces of the first side plate and the inner surfaces of the second side plate are horizontally aligned at the joint.

[0017] A further technical solution is that the cup body is a rotating body formed by rotating around a rotation axis with the bottom plate and the first side plate as the generatrix of rotation; the cup lid is a rotating body formed by rotating around a rotation axis with the top plate and the second side plate as the generatrix of rotation; the rotation axes of the cup body and the cup lid coincide.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the bottom plate and the first side plate have rounded corners; the top plate and the second side plate have rounded corners.

[0019] The food processor includes: a main unit, a blade shaft, and the combined blending cup; the main unit is connected to the blade shaft; the blade shaft passes through the cup lid and extends into the cavity; the blade shaft extending into the cavity is equipped with blades.

[0020] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] (1) The combined mixing cup of this utility model is equipped with a lid, the area of ​​which is greater than the area of ​​the second side plate surrounding the top plate, that is, the lid is a conical structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom. The second side plate extends into the cavity. When the food in the cavity moves upward, it will move along the second side plate towards the center of the cavity. The food near the center of the cavity will fall into the working range of the blade under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of food on the first side plate away from the blade, thus improving the processing efficiency of the food. The conical structure of the lid with a wide opening and a narrow bottom facilitates demolding during production and simplifies production. The larger opening of the lid also makes it easier for users to clean the inner surface of the lid. In addition, the cup body is also provided with a step. The cup body can support and quickly position the lid through the step, improving the stability of the lid setting and simplifying the assembly between the cup body and the lid. The second side plate contacts the step, which also helps to reduce the lateral position difference between the first side plate and the second side plate, and reduce the impact of the unevenness of the inner surface of the first side plate and the inner surface of the second side plate on the flow of food.

[0022] (2) Furthermore, the side of the first side plate away from the bottom plate forms the cup opening, and the area of ​​the cup opening is greater than the area of ​​the first side plate surrounding the bottom plate. The cup body is also a conical structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom, which facilitates the production of the cup body and the maintenance of the cup body after use.

[0023] (3) Furthermore, the cup lid is also provided with a first extension to restrict the position between the cup body and the cup lid, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the cup lid. The first extension can also quickly position the position between the cup body and the cup lid, facilitating the assembly of the cup body and the cup lid. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Figure 1 A vertical cross-sectional view of a combined stirring cup according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Please refer to... Figure 1 The modular mixing cup includes a cup body 1, comprising a base plate 11 and a first side plate 12 surrounding the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the first side plate 12 surround to form an upward-opening cavity 13. A transverse step 121 is provided on the first side plate 12, which is bent away from the cavity 13 to form the step 121. A lid 2 is placed on the cup body 1. The lid 2 includes a top plate 21 and a second side plate 22 surrounding the top plate 21. The second side plate 22 extends into the cavity 13 and contacts the step 121. The cup body 1 can support and quickly position the lid 2 via the step 121, improving the stability of the lid 2 and simplifying the assembly between the cup body 1 and the lid 2. The contact between the second side plate 22 and the step 121 also helps to reduce the lateral positional difference between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22, reducing the impact of unevenness between the inner surfaces of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22 on the flow of food.

[0031] The second side plate 22 is inclined, and the side of the second side plate 22 away from the top plate 21 forms a lid opening 23. The area of ​​the lid opening 23 is greater than the area of ​​the second side plate 22 surrounding the top plate 21, meaning the cup lid 2 has a conical structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom. When the food in the cavity 13 moves upward, it will move along the second side plate 22 towards the center of the cavity 13. Food near the center of the cavity 13 will fall into the working range of the blade 6 under the action of gravity, preventing food from accumulating on the first side plate 12 away from the blade 6 and improving food processing efficiency. The conical structure of the cup lid 2 with a wide opening and a narrow bottom facilitates demolding during production, simplifying production. The larger opening of the cup lid 2 also makes it easier for users to clean the inner surface of the cup lid 2.

[0032] Preferably, the first side plate 12 is inclined, and the side of the first side plate 12 away from the base plate 11 forms the cup opening 14. The area of ​​the cup opening 14 is greater than the area of ​​the first side plate 12 surrounding the base plate 11. The cup body 1 is also a conical structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom, which facilitates the production of the cup body 1 and the maintenance of the cup body 1 after use.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 A first extension 221 extends laterally from the lid 2. The end of the first side plate 12 away from the base plate 11 contacts the lower surface of the first extension 221. The first extension 221 restricts the position between the cup body 1 and the lid 2, enhancing the installation stability of the lid 2. The first extension 221 also allows for quick positioning of the cup body 1 and the lid 2, facilitating their assembly.

[0034] Preferably, the second side plate 22 is further provided with a second extension 222 and a third extension 223. The second extension 222 and the third extension 223 are disposed toward the first side plate 12. Along the second extension 222 and the third extension 223, the second side plate 22 can transmit the squeezing force of the food to the cup body 1.

[0035] More preferably, a sealing ring 3 is provided between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22 to ensure the sealing performance between the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22. The sealing ring 3 is disposed between the first extension 221 and the second extension 222 to fix the position of the sealing ring 3.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1The end of the second side plate 22 furthest from the top plate 21 bends towards one side of the first side plate 12 to form a bent portion 224. The bent portion 224 contacts the step 121, increasing the contact area between the second side plate 22 and the step 121, thus improving the stability of the step 121 in supporting the cup lid 2. Simultaneously, the second side plate 22's placement on the step 121 facilitates the lateral alignment of the inner surfaces of the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22 at their joint. This alignment prevents uneven structures from hindering the sliding of food along the first side plate 12 and the second side plate 22.

[0037] Preferably, the cup body 1 is a rotating body formed by rotating about an axis of rotation with the bottom plate 11 and the first side plate 12 as the generatrix of rotation. The cup lid 2 is a rotating body formed by rotating about an axis of rotation with the top plate 21 and the second side plate as the generatrix of rotation. The axes of rotation of the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 coincide. The rotating cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 facilitate the formation of a vortex flow of food within the cavity 13, enabling rapid mixing and tumbling of the medium.

[0038] More preferably, the base plate 11 and the first side plate 12 have a rounded transition. The top plate 21 and the second side plate 22 also have a rounded transition. The rounded corners reduce the dead angles between the base plate 11 and the first side plate 12, and between the top plate 21 and the second side plate 22.

[0039] Figure 2 A vertical cross-sectional view of a food processor according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Please refer to... Figure 2 The food processor includes a main unit 4, a blade shaft 5, and a combination blending cup. The main unit 4 is connected to the blade shaft 5 and includes a motor and a transmission assembly, which can be a coupling. The motor drives the blade shaft 5 to rotate via the transmission assembly. The blade shaft 5 passes through the cup lid 2 and extends into the cavity 13. A blade 6 is mounted on the blade shaft 5 extending into the cavity 13. The blade shaft 5, driven by the motor, rotates, causing the blade 6 to rotate within the cavity 13 to process the ingredients.

[0040] Preferably, the end of the blade 6 furthest from the blade shaft 5 is bent upward to form a curved blade 61, increasing the working range of the blade 6 and making it easier to lift the food at the bottom plate 11, thereby improving the food processing effect of the food processor. The end of the blade 6 furthest from the blade shaft 5 can be set upward to apply an upward component force to the food being blended, pushing the food upward.

[0041] More preferably, a flange 111 is also provided on the base plate 11. The end of the cutter shaft 5 that extends into the cavity 13 contacts the flange 111, and a groove is provided at the end of the cutter shaft 5 that extends into the cavity 13 for the flange 111 to engage. The flange 111 abuts against and supports the cutter shaft 5, enhancing the stability of the cutter shaft 5 during rotation.

[0042] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] The user adds ingredients to the cavity 13 of the cup body 1, then closes the lid 2 and the cup body 1, allowing the second side plate 22 to contact the step 121 and the first side plate 12 to contact the first extension 221. The motor is then started, and it drives the blade shaft 5 to rotate and process the ingredients via a transmission assembly. The blade shaft 5 drives the blades 6 and agitates the ingredients, causing them to rotate and flow within the cup body 1. Ingredients moving upwards along the inclined second side plate 22 gradually approach the blade shaft 5 to facilitate falling into the working range of the blades 6, increasing the probability of contact between the blades 6 and the ingredients.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.
