Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, specifically to a food processor with a concealed air vent. Background Technology

[0002] A food processor is a device that can cook food, such as an air fryer. Such food processors usually include a lid and a cooking container. The size of the cooking container is fixed and cannot be adapted to more usage scenarios. Specifically, larger cooking containers are only suitable for group meals, while smaller cooking containers are only suitable for individual use.

[0003] Food processors typically have an electrical cavity inside, where various electrical devices are housed. To improve the heat dissipation of these devices, ventilation holes are usually installed on the surface of the food processor. However, the ventilation holes in existing food processors are usually located on the upper side of the lid, which not only affects the overall appearance of the food processor but also makes it easier for water and other impurities to enter the electrical cavity through the ventilation holes.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a food processor with a hidden air vent, which can make the product adaptable to different usage scenarios. Moreover, the upper air vent, the first lower air vent, and the second lower air vent are relatively concealed, which can make the product more beautiful. Water and other impurities are less likely to enter the appliance cavity through the upper air vent, the first lower air vent, and the second lower air vent.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] A food processor with a concealed air vent includes a top cover and a first container assembly and a second container assembly disposed on the lower side of the top cover. The first container assembly and the second container assembly can be selectively connected and cooperated with the top cover to form a first cooking cavity and a second cooking cavity for placing food. The top cover has an electrical cavity inside. An upper air vent is provided on the outer side of the top cover in a horizontal direction. A first lower air vent is provided on the lower side of the top cover at a position corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly.

The air inlet of the air guide cavity is connected to the first lower air vent. A second lower air vent is provided on the lower side of the air guide cavity for communicating with the outside.

[0008] When the top cover is connected and engaged with the first container assembly, a first heat dissipation air duct is formed between the upper air vent, the electrical cavity, and the first lower air vent.

[0009] When the top cover is connected and engaged with the second container assembly, a second heat dissipation air duct is formed between the upper air vent, the electrical cavity, the first lower air vent, the air guide cavity, and the second lower air vent.

[0010] As a specific solution, the lower side of the top cover is provided with a plurality of first downdraft openings corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly, and different first downdraft openings are distributed circumferentially; the first container assembly is formed by processing glass material, and a first heat dissipation area is formed below the first downdraft openings corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly, which can reduce the surface temperature of the first container assembly.

The upper side of the side shell is open, and the top cover is attached to the upper side of the opening of the side shell. Several supporting ribs are distributed circumferentially around the upper opening of the side shell. The top cover abuts against the supporting ribs to form a gap between the top cover and the side shell. The upper air vent is formed in the gap between the top cover and the side shell.

[0013] As a specific embodiment, a fan motor is provided inside the electrical cavity, and an upper fan blade is connected to the upper end of the fan motor to generate airflow inside the electrical cavity. The fan motor drives the upper fan blade to rotate, so that the airflow flows through the first heat dissipation duct or the second heat dissipation duct.

[0014] As a specific embodiment, the lower side of the top cover has a circuit board mounting cavity, a control board is provided inside the circuit board mounting cavity, and a vent is provided at the center of the lower side of the circuit board mounting cavity. The upper air vent is connected to the electrical cavity through the vent.

[0015] As a specific embodiment, the upper cover has a heating chamber located on the outer side below the electrical cavity. The heating chamber is equipped with a heating element. The lower end of the fan motor extends into the heating chamber and is connected to a lower fan blade.

[0018] As a specific embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a movable slider and a second locking rib. The movable slider is disposed in the air guide cavity, and a return spring is provided between the movable slider and the mounting ring. A fastening part is provided on the upper side of the movable slider, and the second locking rib is disposed on the upper cover. When the second container assembly is connected and engaged with the upper cover, the second locking rib slides from top to bottom with the fastening part, causing the movable slider to compress the return spring until the second locking rib and the fastening part are misaligned. The return spring pushes the movable slider to reset, causing the second locking rib and the fastening part to fasten together, thereby connecting and fixing the mounting ring to the upper cover.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] See Figures 1-16 The food processor with the air vent hidden includes a top cover 1 and a first container assembly 21 and a second container assembly 22 disposed on the lower side of the top cover 1. The first container assembly 21 and the second container assembly 22 can be selectively connected to the top cover 1 to form a first cooking cavity 211 and a second cooking cavity 221 for placing food. By setting the first container assembly 21 and the second container assembly 22 to be compatible with the top cover 1, users can choose different connection combinations of the first container assembly 21 and the second container assembly 22 with the top cover 1 according to their usage needs, so that the product can adapt to more different application scenarios.

[0039] Specifically, when the user is cooking a relatively small amount of food, such as for personal use, the first container component 21 can be connected to the top cover 1. The first container component 21 has a relatively small volume, which makes it more efficient in cooking large quantities of food, more conducive to saving energy, and occupies relatively less space overall.

[0040] When users have a relatively large amount of food to cook, such as in a family gathering environment suitable for multiple people, the second container component 22 can be connected to the top cover 1. The second container component 22 has a relatively large volume, which can cook more food and reduce the user's waiting time.

[0041] The upper cover 1 has an electrical cavity 17 inside. The outer side of the upper cover 1 is provided with an upper air vent 11 arranged horizontally. The lower side of the upper cover 1 is provided with a first lower air vent 12 corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly 21. The upper side of the second container assembly 22 is provided with a guide air cavity 222 corresponding to the outer periphery of the second cooking cavity 221. The air inlet end of the guide air cavity 222 is connected to the first lower air vent 12. The lower side of the guide air cavity 222 is provided with a second lower air vent 223 for communicating with the outside.

[0042] When the top cover 1 is connected and engaged with the first container assembly 21, a first heat dissipation air duct is formed between the upper air vent 11, the electrical cavity 17 and the first lower air vent 12.

[0043] When the top cover 1 is connected and engaged with the second container assembly 22, a second heat dissipation air duct is formed between the upper air vent 11, the electrical cavity 17, the first lower air vent 12, the air guide cavity 222, and the second lower air vent 223.

[0044] Since the upper air vent 11 is horizontally arranged on the outside of the upper cover 1, and the first lower air vent 12 and the second lower air vent 223 are both arranged downwards, the upper air vent 11, the first lower air vent 12 and the second lower air vent 223 are relatively concealed, which can make the product more beautiful, and water and other impurities are not easy to enter the electrical cavity 17 through the upper air vent 11, the first lower air vent 12 and the second lower air vent 223.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of first downdraft openings 12 are provided on the lower side of the upper cover 1 at the position corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly 21. Different first downdraft openings 12 are distributed circumferentially, so that the airflow can be more evenly distributed in the electrical cavity 17.

[0046] The first container assembly 21 is formed by processing glass material. The first heat dissipation area is formed below the first air vent 12 corresponding to the outer side of the first container assembly 21, which can reduce the surface temperature of the first container assembly 21. The first air vent 12 can also play a certain heat dissipation and cooling effect on the surface of the first container assembly 21, reducing the chance of users being burned.

[0047] Furthermore, a plurality of second downdraft openings (223) are provided on the lower side of the air guide cavity (222) corresponding to the outer side of the second container assembly (22). Different second downdraft openings (223) are distributed circumferentially, so that the airflow can be distributed more evenly in the air guide cavity 222.

[0048] The second container assembly 22 is formed by processing glass material. The second heat dissipation area is formed below the second air vent 223 corresponding to the outer side of the second container assembly 22, which can reduce the surface temperature of the second container assembly 22. The second air vent 223 can also play a certain heat dissipation and cooling effect on the surface of the second container assembly 22, reducing the chance of users being burned.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 includes a side shell 13 and an upper cover 14. The upper side of the side shell 13 is open, and the upper cover 14 covers the upper side of the opening of the side shell 13. The upper opening of the side shell 13 has a plurality of supporting ribs 131 distributed circumferentially. The upper cover 14 abuts against the supporting ribs 131 to form a gap between the upper cover 14 and the side shell 13. The upper air vent 11 is formed in the gap between the upper cover 14 and the side shell 13. The upper cover 14 can further shield the upper air vent 11, making the upper air vent 11 more concealed, making the product more aesthetically pleasing, and further reducing the chance of water and other impurities entering the electrical cavity 17 through the upper air vent 11.

[0050] Furthermore, a fan motor 3 is provided inside the electrical cavity 17. The upper end of the fan motor 3 is connected to an upper fan blade 31 for generating airflow inside the electrical cavity 17. The fan motor 3 drives the upper fan blade 31 to rotate, causing airflow to circulate in the first or second heat dissipation duct. The fan motor 3 can improve the efficiency of airflow in the first or second heat dissipation duct, thereby giving the electrical components inside the electrical cavity 17 a better heat dissipation effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the lower side of the top cover 14 has a circuit board mounting cavity 141, and a control board 4 is provided inside the circuit board mounting cavity 141. A vent 142 is provided at the center of the lower side of the circuit board mounting cavity 141. The upper air vent 11 and the electrical cavity 17 are connected through the vent 142. The vent 142 has the effect of concentrating airflow, so that the airflow can be more concentrated on the control board 4, making the heat dissipation effect of the control board 4 better.

[0052] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 has a heating chamber 15 located on the outer side below the electrical cavity 17. The heating chamber 15 is equipped with a heating element 7. The lower end of the fan motor 3 extends into the heating chamber 15 and is connected to a lower fan blade 32. The fan motor 3 drives the lower fan blade 32 to rotate, causing the airflow to pass through the heating element 7 and flow to the first cooking cavity 211 or the second cooking cavity 221. The fan motor 3 can also improve the efficiency of the heat from the heating element 7 acting on the first cooking cavity 211 or the second cooking cavity 221.

[0053] Furthermore, an mounting ring 224 is connected to the upper side of the second container assembly 22. The air guide cavity 222 is located inside the mounting ring 224. The center of the mounting ring 224 is open at the upper position of the second container assembly 22. When the first container assembly 21 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the mounting ring 224 separates from the upper cover 1 along with the second container assembly 22. When the second container assembly 22 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the mounting ring 224 is connected and fixed to the upper cover 1 through a locking mechanism. The second container assembly 22 can achieve quick assembly and disassembly with the upper cover 1 through the mounting ring 224.

[0054] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a movable latch 225 and a first locking rib 161 respectively disposed on the mounting ring 224 and the upper cover 1. When the second container assembly 22 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the movable latch 225 and the first locking rib 161 engage with each other to fix the mounting ring 224 to the upper cover 1. The movable latch 225 is provided with a pressing part 2251 for separating it from the first locking rib 161 by pressing it with a hand, so that the second container assembly 22 can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the upper cover 1 through the mounting ring 224. The structure is simple and easy for users to operate.

[0055] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a movable slider 5 and a second locking rib 162. The movable slider 5 is disposed within the air guide cavity 222, and a return spring 6 is provided between the movable slider 5 and the mounting ring 224. A fastening part 51 is provided on the upper side of the movable slider 5, and the second locking rib 162 is disposed on the upper cover 1. When the second container assembly 22 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, the second locking rib 162 slides from top to bottom with the fastening part 51, causing the movable slider 5 to compress the return spring 6 until the second locking rib 162... The second locking rib 162 is offset from the fastening part 51. The return spring 6 pushes the movable slider 5 to reset, so that the second locking rib 162 and the fastening part 51 are fastened together, and the mounting ring 224 is connected and fixed to the upper cover 1. After the second container assembly 22 is connected and engaged with the upper cover 1, it can be quickly locked and fixed. When it is necessary to separate the second container assembly 22 from the upper cover 1, the movable lock buckle 225 can be pressed by hand to separate one side of the mounting ring 224 from the upper cover 1, and then the second locking rib 162 can be separated from the fastening part 51 by misalignment.

[0056] 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.
