[0002] The food processor includes a lid assembly and a food processor cup. The lid assembly covers the opening of the food processor cup and includes an upper lid, a lower lid, and a control assembly. The control assembly is located within the cavity formed by the upper and lower lids.

[0003] To improve production efficiency, it is desirable that the cover assembly be simple and convenient to assemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to disclose a food processor. The lid assembly of the food processor is simple and convenient to assemble.

[0005] This application discloses a food processor. The food processor includes a base, a food processor cup assembly, and a lid assembly. The base includes a base and a support protruding from the base. The food processor cup assembly is assembled to the base; the lid assembly is connected to the support and covers the top of the food processor cup assembly, including a first lid assembly, a second lid assembly, and a control assembly, wherein: the first lid assembly and the second lid assembly are locked together to form a receiving cavity; the control assembly is assembled to the first lid assembly via a mounting structure, is also located within the receiving cavity, and is clamped and fixed by the first lid assembly and the second lid assembly; the mounting structure is distributed circumferentially along the lid assembly.

[0006] As described above, the control component is assembled with the first cover component through the positioning function of the circumferentially distributed installation structure. Then, the first cover component and the second cover component are locked together to clamp and fix the control component. Thus, the assembly of the cover component is simple and convenient.

[0007] In some embodiments, the mounting structure includes a mounting post disposed on one of the first cover assembly and the control assembly, and a mounting hole disposed on the other; the mounting post includes a first segment and a support portion; the first segment is inserted into the mounting hole, and the support portion abuts against the edge of the mounting hole.

[0008] As described above, the mounting post includes a first section and a support portion; the first section is inserted into the mounting hole to achieve the positioning of the control component in the front, back, left, and right directions; the support portion abuts against the edge of the mounting hole to achieve the positioning of the control component in the thickness direction of the cover assembly (i.e., the height direction of the mounting post). Thus, the assembly between the control component and the first cover assembly is simple and convenient.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting post includes a second segment, the cross-sectional area of ​​which is larger than that of the first segment, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the height direction of the mounting post; the support portion is formed at the connection between the second segment and the first segment.

[0010] As described above, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second segment is larger than that of the first segment, the support portion is formed at the connection between the second segment and the first segment. Thus, after the control component is inserted into the first segment, it is pressed down until it abuts against the support portion to complete the assembly of the control component. Therefore, the assembly of the control component and the first cover component is simple and convenient.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first cover assembly is provided with an installation channel for inserting an exhaust assembly, and the horizontal distance between the control assembly and the installation channel is d, where 10mm ≤ d ≤ 20mm.

[0012] As described above, since 10mm≤d≤20mm, the control component is a certain distance from the exhaust component. In addition, the channel wall of the installation channel has a certain heat insulation effect. Therefore, the heat and steam during the exhaust process will not affect the performance of the control component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cover assembly is rotatably connected to the support base, and the cover assembly flips in a vertical plane; or, the cover assembly is rotatably connected to the support base, and the cover assembly rotates in a horizontal plane.

[0014] As described above, the cover assembly can be flipped in the vertical plane or rotated in the horizontal plane, making it easy to open.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first cover assembly includes at least two positioning structures, and the two opposite ends of the control assembly are supported and limited by the positioning structures.

[0016] As described above, by setting the positioning structure, the control component can be initially positioned, and then the control component can be assembled with the first cover component using the mounting structure. Thus, the assembly of the control component and the first cover component is simpler and more convenient.

[0017] In some embodiments, the positioning structure includes a positioning plate having an L-shaped positioning notch; the positioning notches of two oppositely positioned positioning plates face each other; and the opposite ends of the control component are respectively located within the corresponding positioning notches.

[0018] As described above, the control component can be positioned by placing its two ends on the corresponding positioning notches, thus making the assembly of the control component and the first cover component simple and convenient.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second cover assembly includes a panel and a control component bracket for forming the receiving cavity; the control component bracket is locked to the first cover assembly; the panel covers the control component bracket, and the edge of the panel is fixedly connected to the control component bracket.

[0020] As described above, since the second cover assembly includes a panel and a control component bracket, the edge of the panel and the control component bracket are fixedly connected, making assembly simple. Moreover, the fixed connection between the edge of the panel and the control component bracket is beneficial to the good sealing between the panel and the control component bracket, preventing liquids, dust, etc. from entering.

[0021] In some embodiments, the control component bracket includes a cover hole, and the control component includes a device extending into the cover hole.

[0022] As described above, inserting the control component into the cover hole can also serve a positioning function. The assembly of the control component and the first cover assembly is simple and convenient. Furthermore, for positioning the control component, a cover hole can be added to the existing structure of the cover assembly, further simplifying the structure of the cover assembly.

[0023] In some embodiments, one of the first cover assembly and the second cover assembly is provided with a stud, and the other is provided with a screw hole; the screw hole and the stud are locked together by screws.

[0024] As described above, the screw hole and the stud are locked together by the screw, thereby clamping and fixing the control component by locking the first cover assembly and the second cover assembly. The assembly of the cover assembly is simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0034] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, this application discloses a food processor. The food processor includes a lid assembly 10, a base 20, and a food processor cup assembly 30. The food processor cup assembly 30 includes a food processor cup 301 and a lid 302. The lid 302 covers the mouth of the food processor cup 301. The base 20 includes a base 201 and a support 202 protruding from (e.g., extending upward) the base 201. The food processor cup assembly 30 is assembled to the base 201. The protrusion can be perpendicular to the base 201 or inclined to the base 201. In some embodiments, the lid assembly 10 is rotatably connected to the support 202. After rotatable connection, the lid assembly 10 can flip in the vertical plane to cover or open the mouth of the cup. The lid assembly 10 can also rotate in the horizontal plane to cover or open the mouth of the cup. As described above, the lid assembly can flip in the vertical plane or rotate in the horizontal plane, making it convenient to open the lid assembly. In other embodiments, the cover assembly 10 is detachably assembled to the support base 202. Regardless of the embodiment, the cover assembly 10 is connected to the support base 202. (Comparison) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lid assembly 10 is disposed on the top of the blending cup assembly 30, including the following situations: a) the blending cup assembly includes a cup lid 302, and the lid assembly 10 is disposed on the cup lid 302, thereby covering the mouth of the blending cup 301 (which can be understood as indirectly covering the mouth of the cup), that is, covering the top of the blending cup assembly 30. In some other blender architectures, for example, the lid assembly 10 is omitted. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the structure of the support base 202 and the cup lid 302, the lid assembly 10 can replace the cup lid 302. That is, the cooking cup assembly does not include the cup lid 302. In this case, the lid assembly 10 directly covers the mouth of the cup and is placed on top of the cooking cup assembly 30. Regardless of the application scenario, the lid assembly 10 includes a first lid assembly 1, a second lid assembly 2, and a control assembly 3.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cover assembly 1 and the second cover assembly 2 are locked together to form a receiving cavity 21. The first cover assembly 1 and the second cover assembly 2 can be locked together by the use of screws and studs, or by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0037] The control component 3 includes at least one of a control board and a power board. The control component 3 and the first cover component 1 are positioned and installed via a mounting structure 4. This positioning and installation includes positioning the control component 3 in the height, front-back, and left-right directions, so that the control component 3 and the first cover component 1 can be assembled together. Therefore, the mounting structure 4 can be any structure capable of achieving this function. The control component 3 is located within the receiving cavity 21 and is clamped and fixed by the first cover component 1 and the second cover component 2. That is, after the control component 3 is assembled with the first cover component 1 via the mounting structure 4, the second cover component 2 is placed on the control component 3, and then the first cover component 1 and the second cover component 2 are locked together. Under the action of the locking force, the control component 3 is clamped and fixed by the first cover component 1 and the second cover component 2. In some embodiments, the mounting structure 4 includes holes and mounting posts. The mounting posts and holes are inserted to achieve the positioning and installation. The mounting structure 4 is distributed circumferentially around the cover component 10. The circumferential distribution can be uniform or non-uniform, as long as it serves the positioning function. The number of installation structures 4 is not limited to, for example Figure 5 The four shown.

[0038] As described above, the control component 3 is assembled with the first cover component 1 through the positioning function of the circumferentially distributed installation structure. Then, the first cover component 1 and the second cover component 2 are locked together to clamp and fix the control component 3. Thus, the assembly of the cover component 10 is simple and convenient.

[0039] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting structure 4 includes a mounting post 11 disposed on the first cover assembly 1 and a mounting hole 31 disposed on the control assembly 3. Of course, based on the function of the mounting hole 31 and the mounting post 11 being inserted into each other, the control assembly 3 could also have the mounting post 11 disposed on the mounting assembly 1 and the first cover assembly 1 on the mounting hole 31. Regardless of whether the mounting post 11 is disposed on the first cover assembly 1 or the control assembly 3, the mounting post 11 includes a first segment 111 and a support portion 112. The first segment 111 is inserted into the mounting hole 31, and the support portion 112 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 31. Based on the function of the support portion 112, the structure of the support portion 112 is not limited; for example, the support portion 112 is a protrusion protruding in a direction perpendicular to the mounting post 11; or... Figure 7 As shown, the mounting post 11 includes a first segment 111, a support portion 112, and a second segment 113, wherein the first segment 111 and the second segment 113 are parallel, and the support portion 112 is connected to the first segment 111 and the second segment 113 and is perpendicular to both, which can also be understood as Z-shaped; for example... Figure 8As shown, the mounting post 11 is shaped like a frustum. The part of the mounting post 11 with a diameter slightly larger than the mounting hole 31 (where the mounting post 11 interlocks with the mounting hole 31) is the support part 112. Taking the support part 112 as the dividing point, the upper part is the first segment 111, and the lower part is the second segment 113. The mounting post 11 is not limited to the frustum shape; it can also be truncated pyramidal or trapezoidal, etc. In short, the mounting post 11 can have a structure that is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom.

[0040] As described above, the mounting post 11 includes a first segment 111 and a support portion 112; the first segment 111 is inserted into the mounting hole 31 to achieve the front-back, left-right positioning of the control component 3; the support portion 112 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 31 to achieve the positioning of the control component 3 in the thickness direction of the cover component 10 (i.e., the height direction of the mounting post). Thus, the assembly between the control component 3 and the first cover component 1 is simple and convenient.

[0041] like Figure 8 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting post 11 includes a second segment 113. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second segment 113 is larger than that of the first segment 111. The cross-sectional area is perpendicular to the height direction of the mounting post 11. The cross-sectional shapes of the first segment 111 and the second segment 113 are the same to achieve the area relationship; for example, both cross-sections are circles (e.g., ...). Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown), the cross-sections can also be trapezoidal or the like; the shapes of the cross-sections can also be different to achieve the area relationship, for example, the cross-section of the first segment 111 is triangular and the cross-section of the second segment 113 is circular, or the cross-section of the first segment 111 is a regular polygon and the cross-section of the second segment 113 is circular. The support portion 112 is formed at the connection between the second segment 113 and the first segment 111.

[0042] As described above, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second segment 113 is larger than that of the first segment 111, the support portion 112 is formed at the connection between the second segment 113 and the first segment 111. Thus, after the control component 3 is inserted into the first segment 111, it is pressed downward until it abuts against the support portion 112 to complete the assembly of the control component 3. Therefore, the assembly of the control component 3 and the first cover component 1 is simple and convenient.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first cover assembly 1 is provided with an installation channel 15. The installation channel 15 is used to insert the exhaust assembly 16. The horizontal distance between the control assembly 3 and the installation channel 15 is d, 10mm≤d≤20mm, for example, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm or 20mm.

[0044] As described above, since 10mm≤d≤20mm, the control component 3 is a certain distance from the exhaust component 16. In addition, the pipe wall of the installation channel 15 has a certain heat insulation effect. Therefore, the heat and steam during the exhaust process will not affect the performance of the control component 3.

[0045] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first cover assembly 1 includes at least two positioning structures 12, and the two opposite ends of the control assembly 3 (the two ends are respectively marked as end 32) are supported and limited by the positioning structures 12. Figures 4 to 7 The diagram illustrates that the opposing ends (ends 32) of the control component 3 along its width direction are supported and limited by the positioning structure 12. In other embodiments, the opposing ends (ends 32) of the control component 3 along its length direction may be supported and limited by the positioning structure 12. Of course, the opposing ends can also be opposing ends along the length direction and opposing ends along the width direction. The structure of the positioning structure 12 is not limited to the example shown. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The limiting plate shown. In some embodiments, the positioning structure 12 may also be a limiting post.

[0046] As described above, by setting the positioning structure 12, the control component 3 can be initially positioned using the positioning structure 12, and then the control component 3 can be assembled with the first cover component 1 using the mounting structure 4. Thus, the assembly of the control component 3 and the first cover component 1 is simpler and more convenient.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning structure 12 includes a positioning plate 121, which has an L-shaped positioning notch 1211. The positioning notches 1211 of the two opposing positioning plates 121 face each other, so as to... Figure 5 With the mounting channel 15 as a reference, the positioning notch 1211 of the positioning plate 121 near the mounting channel 15 faces away from the mounting channel 15, while the positioning notch 1211 of the positioning plate 121 away from the mounting channel 15 faces the mounting channel 15. The two opposite ends of the control component 3 are respectively located within the corresponding positioning notch 1211.

[0048] As described above, since the two opposite ends (ends 32) of the control component 3 are respectively located in the corresponding positioning notches 1211, the control component 3 can be positioned. Therefore, the assembly of the control component 3 and the first cover component 1 is simple and convenient.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the second cover assembly 2 includes a panel 211 and a control component bracket 212 for forming the receiving cavity 21. The control component bracket 212 is locked to the first cover assembly 1. The panel 211 may be a glass panel. The edge of the panel 211 is fixedly connected to the control component bracket 212. The fixed connection is achieved, for example, by adhesive bonding or by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0050] As described above, since the second cover assembly 2 includes a panel 211 and a control component bracket 212, the edge of the panel 211 and the control component bracket 212 are fixedly connected, making assembly simple. Moreover, the fixed connection between the edge of the panel and the control component bracket is beneficial to the good sealing between the panel and the control component bracket, preventing liquids, dust, etc. from entering.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the control component bracket 212 of the second cover assembly 2 includes a cover hole 23. The control component 3 includes a device 33 extending into the cover hole 23. Of course, the control component 3 also includes a device not inserted into the cover hole 23. The device 33 is, for example, a digital tube. When the second cover assembly 2 includes a panel 211 and a control component bracket 212, the cover hole 23 penetrates the control component bracket 212, and the light emitted by the digital tube can pass through the cover hole 23 and be seen by the consumer. In other embodiments, the cover hole 23 may not penetrate the second cover assembly 2, in which case the device 33 may not be a digital tube.

[0052] As described above, inserting the device 33 of the control component 3 into the cover hole 23 can also serve a positioning function. The assembly of the control component 3 and the first cover assembly 1 is simple and convenient. Furthermore, for the positioning of the control component, the cover hole 23 can be added to the existing structure of the cover assembly, which also simplifies the structure of the cover assembly 10.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the first cover assembly 1 is provided with a stud 14, and the second cover assembly 2 is provided with a screw hole 24. In other embodiments, the first cover assembly 1 includes a screw hole 24, and the second cover assembly 2 includes a stud 14. The cover assembly includes a screw, and the screw hole 24 and the stud 14 are locked together by the screw.

[0054] As described above, the screw hole 24 and the stud 14 are locked together by the screw, thereby clamping and fixing the control component 3 by locking the first cover assembly 1 and the second cover assembly 2. The assembly of the cover assembly 10 is simple and convenient.

[0055] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all 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.
