Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a lid 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, with their electronic control components generally located on the base, making them inconvenient for users to operate. Furthermore, the centrally located vent poses a risk of burns. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a lid and a food processor that are easy for users to operate and can prevent users from being burned during use.

[0004] This application provides a lid. The lid includes: a lid housing, an electronic control component, a panel, and a light shield. The electronic control component is disposed within the lid housing, the light shield covers the electronic control component, and the panel is fixed to the light shield. The lid has a mounting end and a lid vent. The lid includes a first region near the mounting end and a second region away from the mounting end. The lid vent is located in the first region, the electronic control component is located in the second region, and the panel includes an operating area located within the second region. Because the lid vent is located in the first region, the electronic control component is located in the second region, and the operating area of ​​the panel is located within the second region, it is convenient for the user to operate. Furthermore, when the user operates the food processor, they are positioned on the side away from the mounting end of the lid, meaning the lid vent is farther from the user, and the steam emitted through the lid vent is also farther from the user, thus better preventing burns and making it safer to use.

[0005] Furthermore, the vent hole on the hood and the electronic control component are spaced apart horizontally. Since steam is discharged through the vent hole, the temperature at the vent hole will rise. By spacing the vent hole from the electronic control component, the temperature of the electronic control component will not rise, thus ensuring stable and reliable performance of the electronic control component.

[0006] Furthermore, the cover includes a free end disposed opposite to the mounting end, and the distance between the cover vent and the free end is greater than the distance between the cover vent and the mounting end. This ensures that the cover vent is far enough from the user, thus better preventing scalding from steam emitted from the cover vent.

[0007] Furthermore, the cover housing includes a surrounding rib forming the vent hole of the cover, the panel has a through hole corresponding to the vent hole, the surrounding rib passes through the light shield and abuts against the panel, and a sealing ring is formed between the surrounding rib and the panel. Thus, the vent hole of the cover can be formed with a simple structure, resulting in low manufacturing cost and effectively preventing steam from entering between the cover housing and the panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the light-shielding plate is fixed to the cover housing by fasteners, and the electronic control component is clamped and fixed by the light-shielding plate and the cover housing. This makes assembly simple and reliable.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover housing includes a bottom wall, side walls surrounding the bottom wall, and a limiting rib disposed at the top of the side walls. The electronic control assembly and the light-shielding plate are housed within a receiving cavity formed by the bottom wall and the side walls, and the limiting rib limits the position of the panel. Thus, the structure is simple, reliable, and easy to assemble.

[0010] Furthermore, the cover housing also includes a first rib and a second rib disposed within the receiving cavity, and the electronic control component is defined between the first rib and the second rib. The first rib and the second rib work together to limit the movement of the electronic control component, preventing displacement during the opening or closing of the cover, thus making the structure more stable and reliable.

[0011] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base, comprising a base and a support extending upward from the base, the support housing a power supply component; a blending cup assembly assembled on the base, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup, a heating plate, and a blade assembly, the heating plate and the blade assembly being disposed at the bottom of the blending cup; a lid assembled on the support, the lid covering the blending cup assembly; and a motor disposed within the base or at the bottom of the blending cup. Because the power supply component is disposed within the support base and the control component within the lid, stacking the power supply component, control component, and motor is avoided. By rationally arranging the positions of these three components, the overall height of the food processor is reduced. Simultaneously, the lower overall height of the food processor reduces vibration generated during operation. Furthermore, this arrangement of the control component and the power supply component ensures a greater distance between them, preventing electromagnetic interference between them.

[0012] Furthermore, the cover is rotatably assembled to the top of the support base via a pivot or hinge. Thus, the cover can rotate relative to the support base simply by using a pivot and hinge, resulting in a simple structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the mixing cup assembly includes a lid covering the mixing cup, the lid having a vent hole that communicates with the vent hole of the machine cover. In this way, the mixing cup achieves venting, and the lid provides insulation, preventing the machine cover from overheating and protecting the electrical components inside the machine cover, thus ensuring stable and reliable performance and a longer service life for the electrical components.

[0014] Furthermore, the cup lid is equipped with a magnet, and the machine cover is equipped with a reed switch corresponding to the magnet. This prevents the electronic control components from opening if the machine cover is not properly closed, making it safer to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 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.

[0021] The base 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12 extending upward from the base 11, wherein a power supply component 13 is disposed within the support 12. The power supply component 13 may be a wired power supply or a wireless power supply, such as a power board or an energy storage battery, and is not limited thereto. The support 12 and the base 11 may be integrally formed, or they may be formed separately and then assembled together.

[0022] The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled on 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 stir and grind the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21.

[0023] The motor 40 is disposed within the base 11 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. In the illustrated embodiment, the motor 40 is assembled at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is directly driven connected to the output shaft of the motor 40. In another embodiment, the motor 40 is assembled within the base 11, and the blade assembly 23 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 40 via a clutch structure.

[0024] The lid 30 is assembled to the support base 12, and the lid 30 covers the mixing cup assembly 20. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12. In another embodiment, the cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12 in a horizontal direction. In yet another embodiment, the cover 30 is detachably assembled to the support base 12. In still another embodiment, the cover 30 is fixed to the support base 12.

[0025] The cover 30 includes a cover housing 37, an electronic control component 31, a panel 36, and a light shield 35. The electronic control component 31 is disposed inside the cover housing 37, the light shield 35 covers the electronic control component 31, and the panel 36 is fixed on the light shield 35.

[0026] The cover 30 is provided with a mounting end 390 and a cover vent 38. The cover 30 includes a first region near the mounting end 390 and a second region away from the mounting end 390. The cover vent 38 is located in the first region, and the electronic control component 31 is located in the second region. The panel 36 includes an operation area 361 located in the second region. The operation area 361 includes a function display portion and an operation button portion. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 30 includes a pivot structure 399 disposed on the mounting end 390, and the cover 30 is rotatably mounted to the support base 12 via the pivot structure 399.

[0027] Because the power supply component 13 is located within the support base 12, and the control component 31 is located within the cover 30, the power supply component 13, control component 31, and motor 40 are not stacked together. This arrangement of their positions results in a lower overall height for the food processor 100. Furthermore, the lower overall height reduces vibration during operation. Additionally, this arrangement of the control component 31 and power supply component 13 ensures a greater distance between them, preventing electromagnetic interference. Moreover, since the vent 38 is located in the first area, the control component 31 in the second area, and the operating area 361 of the panel 36 is located in the second area of ​​the cover 30, the user operates the food processor 100 from the side furthest from the mounting end 390 of the cover 30. This means the vent 38 is farther from the user, and the steam emitted through the vent 38 is also farther away, effectively preventing burns and enhancing safety.

[0028] The vent 38 on the hood and the electronic control component 31 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. Since steam is discharged through the vent 38 on the hood, the temperature at the vent 38 on the hood will rise. By setting the vent 38 on the hood and the electronic control component 31 at a distance, the temperature of the electronic control component 31 will not rise. In this way, the electronic control component 31 has stable and reliable performance.

[0029] The cover 30 includes a free end 391 disposed opposite to the mounting end 390. The distance between the cover vent 38 and the free end 391 is greater than the distance between the cover vent 38 and the mounting end 390. This ensures that the cover vent 38 is far enough from the user, thereby better preventing the user from being scalded by steam emitted from the cover vent 38.

[0030] The cover housing 37 includes a surrounding rib 373 that surrounds the vent hole 38 of the cover. The panel 36 has a through hole 360 ​​corresponding to the vent hole 38. The surrounding rib 373 passes through the light shield 35 and abuts against the panel 36. A sealing ring 366 forms a seal between the surrounding rib 373 and the panel 36. In this way, the vent hole 38 of the cover can be formed with a simple structure, resulting in low manufacturing cost and effectively preventing steam from entering between the cover housing 37 and the panel 36.

[0031] The cover housing 37 includes a bottom wall 371, a side wall 372 surrounding the bottom wall 371, and a limiting rib 375 located at the top of the side wall 372. The electronic control component 31 and the light-shielding plate 35 are housed within a receiving cavity 374 formed by the bottom wall 371 and the side wall 372. The limiting rib 375 limits the position of the panel 36. Thus, the structure is simple, reliable, and easy to assemble.

[0032] The cover housing 37 further includes a first rib 376 and a second rib 377 disposed within the receiving cavity 374, and the electronic control component 31 is defined between the first rib 376 and the second rib 377. The first rib 376 and the second rib 377 cooperate to limit the electronic control component 31, preventing displacement of the electronic control component 31 during the opening or closing of the cover 30, thus making the structure more stable and reliable. The first rib 376 and the second rib 377 extend upward from the bottom wall 371, and both ends of the first rib 376 and the second rib 377 are connected to the side wall 372. The first rib 376 and the second rib 377 are arranged opposite each other, and each cooperates with the front and rear sides of the electronic control component 31 to limit its movement.

[0033] In one embodiment, the light-shielding plate 35 is fixed to the cover housing 37 by fasteners, and the electronic control component 31 is clamped and fixed by the light-shielding plate 35 and the cover housing 37. This makes assembly simple and reliable.

[0034] The lid 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12 via a pivot or hinge. Thus, by using a pivot and hinge, the lid 30 can rotate relative to the support base 12, resulting in a simple structure that makes it easy for the user to handle the mixing cup 21.

[0035] The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a lid 25 covering the mixing cup 21. The lid 25 has a lid vent 258, which communicates with the exhaust vent 38 of the machine cover. In this way, the mixing cup 21 can vent air, and the lid 25 provides insulation, preventing the temperature of the machine cover 30 from rising. This protects the electronic control components 31 inside the machine cover 30, ensuring stable and reliable performance and a longer service life.

[0036] The cup lid 25 is equipped with a magnet 259, and the machine lid 30 is equipped with a reed switch 39 corresponding to the magnet 259. When the machine lid 30 is placed on the mixing cup 21, the reed switch 39 closes under the magnetic force of the magnet 259, allowing the electronic control component 31 to open. When the machine lid 30 is opened, the reed switch 39 disengages as it moves away from the magnet 259, preventing the electronic control component 31 from opening. This prevents the electronic control component 31 from opening when the machine lid 30 is not properly closed, making it safer to use.

[0037] 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.
