Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a base and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market. The functions of food processors mainly include, but are not limited to, making soy milk, juicing, rice paste, mincing meat, shaved ice, making coffee, and / or preparing face masks. Food processors can include soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders—machines that pulverize and mix food. Existing food processors are large and tall, taking up a lot of space and prone to vibration during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a base and a food processor, which has a small overall height, occupies little space, and generates less vibration during use.

[0004] This application provides a base. The base includes: a housing, comprising a base and a support seat disposed on the base, the support seat including a cavity with a lower opening, the base including a retaining portion; and a power assembly including a power box and a power component assembled in the power box, the power assembly being inserted into the cavity of the support seat through the lower opening, and the retaining portion pressing upward against the power assembly to confine the power assembly within the cavity. Because the power assembly is inserted into the cavity of the support seat through the lower opening, and the retaining portion presses upward against the power assembly to confine it within the cavity, the power assembly can be confined within the support seat without the need for fasteners or other traditional fixing methods, resulting in high assembly efficiency and lower cost.

[0005] Furthermore, the power supply box includes a receiving cavity, and the power supply component is disposed within the receiving cavity. The support base includes a first wall and a second wall opposite to the first wall. The power supply box includes a first side opposite to the receiving cavity and a second side opposite to the first side. The first side is fitted against the first wall, and the second side is in clearance fit with the second wall. By fitting the first side against the first wall, the power supply component can be limited and guided during insertion into the cavity. By the clearance fit between the second side and the second wall, the power supply component can be inserted into the cavity more smoothly.

[0006] Furthermore, the support base includes a baffle rib disposed within the cavity, and the power supply box includes a limiting rib. The limiting rib cooperates with the baffle rib to position the power supply assembly. In this way, the power supply assembly can be stably and reliably confined within the cavity, preventing it from shaking during the operation of the food processor.

[0007] Furthermore, the baffle rib includes a first baffle rib and a second baffle rib, and the limiting rib includes a first limiting rib, a second limiting rib, and a third limiting rib. The first limiting rib abuts against the first baffle rib in the front-back direction, the second limiting rib abuts against the second baffle rib in the left-right direction, and the third limiting rib abuts against the first baffle rib and / or the second baffle rib in the up-down direction. This allows for limiting the power supply component in all directions, ensuring better stability of the power supply component during operation.

[0008] Furthermore, the second stop rib is connected to the first stop rib; and / or, the second limiting rib and the third limiting rib are respectively connected to the first limiting rib. This improves the overall strength of the stop rib and makes it less prone to deformation; similarly, it also improves the overall strength of the limiting rib and makes it less prone to deformation.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a base housing and a bottom cover that mates with the base housing, the support seat is assembled to the base housing, and the anti-reverse portion is disposed on the base housing. Thus, manufacturing the base and support seat separately and then assembling them together simplifies manufacturing.

[0010] Furthermore, the support base includes a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite to the first wall, and the anti-reverse portion includes a first rib that cooperates with the first wall and a second rib that cooperates with the second wall. Thus, the anti-reverse portion can better cooperate with the support base, more stably confining the support base to the base.

[0011] Furthermore, one of the anti-reverse part and the support base is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a groove that engages with the buckle. In this way, the support base can be easily and reliably assembled onto the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the base includes a base housing and a bottom cover that mates with the base housing. The support base is integrally formed with the base housing, and the anti-reverse portion is disposed on the bottom cover. Because the support base and the base housing are integrally formed, the assembly of the machine base is simplified.

[0013] Furthermore, the support base is provided with a wire hole for the lead wire to pass through, and the power supply box includes a water guiding structure disposed above the power supply component, the water guiding structure being located below the wire hole. Water entering the support base from the wire hole will fall onto the water guiding structure, which will drain the water away, thereby preventing water from contacting the power supply component.

[0014] Furthermore, the water guiding structure includes a drainage surface and a blocking rib disposed at the bottom end of the drainage surface, with a drain outlet provided between one or both ends of the blocking rib and the drainage surface. In this way, water entering the support base flows down along the drainage surface, is blocked by the blocking rib at the bottom end of the drainage surface, and finally falls out from the drain outlet, thereby allowing the water to avoid the power supply component.

[0015] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base as described above; a mixing cup assembly assembled on the base, the mixing cup assembly including a mixing cup, a heating plate, and a blade assembly, the heating plate and the blade assembly being disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup; a lid assembled on the support base, the lid covering the mixing cup assembly, and a control component housed within the lid; and a motor assembled within the base or at the bottom of the mixing cup, the motor driving the blade assembly to rotate. Because the control component is disposed within the lid and the power supply component within the support base, the space within the lid can accommodate the control component, and the space within the support base can accommodate the power supply component, avoiding stacking the control component and power supply component within the base. This reduces the height of the base, thereby effectively reducing the height of the food processor, making the overall food processor more compact and space-saving. The lower overall height of the food processor also reduces vibration during operation. Furthermore, this arrangement of the control component and power supply component ensures a greater distance between them, preventing electromagnetic interference. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor 100 includes a base 10, a mixing cup assembly 20, a lid 30, and a motor 40.

[0026] The base 10 includes a housing 19 and a power supply assembly 18. The housing 19 includes a base 11 and a support 12 disposed on the base 11. The support 12 includes a cavity 129 having a lower opening 128. The base 11 includes a retaining portion 115. In the illustrated embodiment, the retaining portion 115 is a protrusion extending into the lower opening 128. In other embodiments, the retaining portion 115 may not extend into the lower opening 128, but may be flush with the upper surface of the base 11. These are just some examples, and the invention is not limited to these examples.

[0027] The power assembly 18 includes a power box 121 and a power component 13 assembled in the power box 121. The power assembly 18 is inserted into the cavity 129 of the support base 12 through the lower opening 128. The power assembly 18 is confined within the cavity 129 by the anti-retraction part 115 pressing upward against the power assembly 18.

[0028] The power supply component 13 can be a wired or wireless power source, such as a power board or a storage battery, and is not limited thereto. The power supply component 13 can be fixed to the power box 121 by means of fasteners, clips, adhesives, etc.

[0029] The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled onto the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, a heating plate 22, and a blade assembly 23. The heating plate 22 and the blade assembly 23 are disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate 22 is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is used to blend and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup assembly 20 also includes a lid 26 covering the mixing cup 21. The lid 30 and the lid 26 can also be configured as a single unit.

[0030] The cover 30 is assembled onto the support base 12, and the cover 30 covers the mixing cup assembly 20. A control component 31 is housed within the cover 30. The control component 31 is electrically connected to the power supply component 13 via a lead wire. The cover 30 also includes a cover housing 37, an operation panel 36, and a control box 35. The control component 31 is disposed within the cover housing 37, the control box 35 covers the control component 31, and the operation panel 36 is fixed to the control box 35.

[0031] The motor 40 is assembled inside the base 11 or at the bottom of the stirring cup 21, and the motor 40 is used to drive the blade assembly 23 to rotate. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the motor 40 is assembled within the base 11, and the output shaft of the motor 40 is connected to the blade assembly 23 via a clutch structure. In another embodiment, the motor 40 is assembled at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, and the output shaft of the motor 40 is directly driven connected to the blade assembly 23.

[0032] Since the control component 31 is located inside the cover 30 and the power supply component 13 is located inside the support base 12, the space inside the cover 30 can accommodate the control component 31, and the space inside the support base 12 can accommodate the power supply component 13. This avoids stacking the control component 31 and the power supply component 13 inside the base 11, thus reducing the height of the base 11 and effectively reducing the height of the food processor 100. This makes the food processor 100 more compact and aesthetically pleasing, taking up less space. Because the overall height of the food processor 100 is lower, the impact on the food processor 100 during operation is reduced. The vibration generated; at the same time, the arrangement of the control component 31 and the power supply component 13 makes the distance between them relatively large, avoiding electromagnetic interference between the control component 31 and the power supply component 13; and since the power supply component 18 is inserted into the cavity 129 of the support base 12 from the lower opening 128, the anti-reverse part 115 presses against the power supply component 18 upward to limit the power supply component 18 in the cavity 129. In this way, the power supply component 18 can be limited in the support base 12 without fasteners or other traditional fixing methods, which has high assembly efficiency and lower cost.

[0033] The power box 121 includes a receiving cavity 126, and the power component 13 is disposed within the receiving cavity 126. The support base 12 includes a first wall 1271 and a second wall 1272 opposite to the first wall 1271. The power box 121 includes a first side 1219 opposite to the receiving cavity 126 and a second side 1218 opposite to the first side 1219. The first side 1219 is in contact with the first wall 1271, and the second side 1218 is in clearance fit with the second wall 1272. By having the first side 1219 in contact with the first wall 1271, the power component 13 can be limited and guided during insertion into the cavity 129. By having the second side 1218 in clearance fit with the second wall 1272, the power component 13 can be inserted into the cavity 129 more smoothly.

[0034] The support base 12 includes a baffle 122 disposed within the cavity 129, and the power supply box 121 includes a limiting rib 124. The limiting rib 124 cooperates with the baffle rib 122 to position the power supply assembly 18. In this way, the power supply assembly 18 can be stably and reliably confined within the cavity 129, preventing it from shaking during the operation of the food processor 100.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, the baffle 122 includes a first baffle 1221 and a second baffle 1222, and the limiting rib 124 includes a first limiting rib 1241, a second limiting rib 1242, and a third limiting rib 1243. The first limiting rib 1241 abuts against the first baffle 1221 in the front-back direction, the second limiting rib 1242 abuts against the second baffle 1222 in the left-right direction, and the third limiting rib 1243 abuts against the first baffle 1221 and / or the second baffle 1222 in the vertical direction. This allows for limiting the power supply assembly 18 in various directions, ensuring better stability of the power supply assembly 18 during operation.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the second baffle 1222 is connected to the first baffle 1221. The second limiting baffle 1242 and the third limiting baffle 1243 are respectively connected to the first limiting baffle 1241. This improves the overall strength of the baffle 122 and makes it less prone to deformation; similarly, it also improves the overall strength of the limiting baffle 124 and makes it less prone to deformation.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 The base 11 includes a base housing 111 and a bottom cover 112 that mates with the base housing 111. The support base 12 is assembled to the base housing 111, and the anti-retraction part 115 is disposed on the base housing 111. Thus, manufacturing the base 11 and the support base 12 separately and then assembling them together simplifies manufacturing. In this embodiment, the anti-retraction part 115 extends into the lower opening 128 of the support base 12. While pressing upward against the power assembly 18, the anti-retraction part 115 is fixed to the support base 12 by means of snap-fit ​​or similar methods.

[0038] The support base 12 includes a first wall 1271 and a second wall 1272 disposed opposite to the first wall 1271. The anti-retraction part 115 includes a first rib 1151 that cooperates with the first wall 1271 and a second rib 1152 that cooperates with the second wall 1272. In this way, the anti-retraction part 115 can better cooperate with the support base 12, and can more stably confine the support base 12 to the base 11.

[0039] One of the anti-reverse part 115 and the support base 12 is provided with a buckle 1153, and the other is provided with a slot 120 that cooperates with the buckle 1153. In this way, the support base 12 can be conveniently and reliably assembled onto the base 11.

[0040] Please see Figure 5The base 11 includes a base housing 111 and a bottom cover 112 that mates with the base housing 111. The support base 12 is integrally formed with the base housing 111, and the anti-reverse part 115 is disposed on the bottom cover 112. Because the support base 12 is integrally formed with the base housing 111, the assembly of the base 10 is simpler.

[0041] The support base 12 is provided with a wire hole 125 for the lead wire to pass through. The power supply box 121 includes a water guiding structure 123 disposed above the power supply component 13, and the water guiding structure 123 is located below the wire hole 125. Water entering the support base 12 from the wire hole 125 will fall onto the water guiding structure 123, and the water guiding structure 123 will drain the water away, thereby preventing the water from contacting the power supply component 13.

[0042] The water guiding structure 123 includes a flow-guiding surface 1231 and a blocking rib 1232 disposed at the bottom end of the flow-guiding surface 1231. A drain outlet 1233 is provided between one or both ends of the blocking rib 1232 and the flow-guiding surface 1231. Thus, water entering the support base 12 flows downwards along the flow-guiding surface 1231, is blocked by the blocking rib 1232 at the bottom end of the flow-guiding surface 1231, and finally falls from the drain outlet 1233, thereby preventing the water from reaching the power supply component 13. The bottom cover 112 is correspondingly provided with a drain hole 1120 for discharging the falling water from the base 10.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
