Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and in particular to a main unit and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors have gained popularity and recognition, becoming an indispensable appliance in people's lives.

[0003] In existing food processors, the control panel assembly and the control panel are usually fixed with screws. Since both the control panel assembly and the control panel assembly are vertically oriented, operators need to use an L-shaped screwdriver or a broken screwdriver to drive the screws from the side, often requiring multiple adjustments to the tool angle to achieve a tight fit, resulting in low assembly efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved main unit and food processor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a main unit and a food processor to simplify assembly operations and improve assembly efficiency.

[0006] This application discloses a host computer, including a main body, a panel, and a control board assembly. The panel is mounted on the main body, and an accommodating space is formed inside the main body. The control board assembly is located within the accommodating space. The control board assembly is provided with a first latching part, and the panel is provided with a second latching part that cooperates with the first latching part.

[0007] In this way, the control board assembly and the panel are assembled by the snap-fit ​​of the first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part, avoiding complicated installation operations and requiring no additional tools, reducing assembly difficulty, improving assembly efficiency, and facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

[0008] Furthermore, the second snap-fit ​​portion is a protruding rib that protrudes downward from the panel, and the first snap-fit ​​portion includes a first elastic arm and a first hook. The first elastic arm extends in the front-back direction, and the two ends of the first elastic arm are respectively connected to the main body of the control panel assembly and the first hook. The first hook and the second snap-fit ​​portion abut against each other in the front-back direction.

[0009] Thus, during the assembly of the control panel assembly and the panel, the elastic deformation of the first elastic arm enables the first hook and the second locking part to engage. Simultaneously, the contact between the first hook and the second locking part in the front-back direction limits the control panel assembly and the panel in that direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the control board assembly is also snapped and fixed to the main body, and the control board assembly is also provided with a third snap-fit ​​part, and the main body is provided with a fourth snap-fit ​​part that cooperates with the third snap-fit ​​part.

[0011] Thus, the control board assembly is assembled with the main body through the snap-fit ​​connection of the third and fourth snap-fit ​​parts, achieving double snap-fit ​​fixation of the control board assembly and enhancing its stability within the accommodating space. Furthermore, this snap-fit ​​fixation of the control board assembly to the main body also avoids complex installation operations, further improving assembly efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the third latching part includes a third elastic arm and a third hook, with both ends of the third elastic arm connected to the main body of the control panel assembly and the third hook, respectively. The fourth latching part includes a fourth elastic arm and a fourth hook, with both ends of the fourth elastic arm connected to the main body of the body and the fourth hook, respectively. Both the third elastic arm and the fourth elastic arm extend in the front-back direction, and the third hook and the fourth hook abut against each other in the front-back direction.

[0013] Thus, thanks to the elastic properties of the third and fourth elastic arms, the engagement process between the control panel assembly and the main body becomes easier and more convenient. Simultaneously, the contact between the third and fourth hooks in the front-to-back direction limits the movement of the control panel assembly and the main body in that direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the control board assembly is rectangular, with the first snap-fit ​​portion located on the top surface of the control board assembly and the third snap-fit ​​portion located on the bottom surface of the control board assembly.

[0015] In this way, both the upper and lower ends of the control board assembly are fixed, the force is more evenly distributed within the accommodating space, and the stability of the control board assembly installation is improved.

[0016] Furthermore, the host also includes a knob connected to the control board assembly, the panel has a positioning hole, the control board assembly has a protruding positioning ring, the positioning ring is supported by the positioning hole, and the knob is fastened to the outside of the positioning ring.

[0017] In this way, the cooperation between the positioning ring and the positioning hole achieves radial positioning between the control board assembly and the panel, further improving the accuracy and stability of the control board assembly's installation position. The knob controls the main unit by connecting to the control board assembly.

[0018] Furthermore, the top seat includes a base portion and a display portion. The base portion is located at the top of the main body, and the display portion extends downward from the base portion and is opposite to the control panel assembly. The positioning hole is located in the middle of the display portion.

[0019] This ensures that the positioning ring is centered when passing through the positioning hole, making the installation of the control board assembly on the panel more symmetrical and stable. It also facilitates the installation and operation of the knobs and improves the aesthetics of the main unit.

[0020] Furthermore, the host also includes fasteners that pass through the body, the panel, and the control panel assembly along the height direction.

[0021] This reinforces the connection between the main body, panel, and control board components, improving the connection stability and overall structural strength of the host. Fasteners are installed along the height direction, allowing for installation using standard tools and simplifying the process.

[0022] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a horizontal first positioning plate, and the control board assembly is provided with a horizontal second positioning plate. The first positioning plate and the second positioning plate are respectively provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole. The fastener passes through the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole from bottom to top and is connected to the panel.

[0023] This effectively prevents the control panel assembly from rotating axially along with the knob during rotation, further improving the stability of the control panel assembly.

[0024] This application also discloses a food processor, including a blending cup assembly and a main unit as described above, wherein the blending cup assembly is assembled to the top of the main unit.

[0025] This application has the following advantages: the assembly of the control board assembly and the panel is achieved by the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part, which avoids complicated installation operations, requires no additional tools, reduces assembly difficulty, improves assembly efficiency, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0026] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] The main unit and food processor of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementation methods can complement or combine with each other.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application provides a main unit 10, including a panel 11, a main body 12, a control panel assembly 13, a knob 14, and a base 15. The panel 11 is mounted on the main body 12. An accommodating space 121 is formed within the main body 12, and the control panel assembly 13 is located within the accommodating space 121 and disposed on one side near the main body 12. The knob 14 is connected to the control panel assembly 13, and the knob 14 can rotate relative to the panel 11. The base 15 is mounted on the bottom of the main body 12.

[0043] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 3 and Figure 4 The panel 11 includes a base portion 111 and a display portion 112. The base portion 111 is located at the top of the body 12. The side of the body 12 near the control panel assembly 13 is recessed downward to form a clearance opening 123. The display portion 112 extends downward from the base portion 111 and is embedded in the clearance opening 123, and the display portion 112 is opposite to the control panel assembly 13.

[0044] Panel 11 is snapped into and fixed to control panel assembly 13. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the control panel assembly 13 is provided with a first latching portion 131, and the panel 11 is provided with a second latching portion 1111 that cooperates with the first latching portion 131. The second latching portion 1111 is provided on the base portion 111.

[0045] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 9 In this embodiment, the second latching portion 1111 is a protruding rib extending downward from the panel 11. The first latching portion 131 includes a first elastic arm 1311 and a first hook 1312. The two ends of the first elastic arm 1311 are respectively connected to the main body of the control board assembly 13 and the first hook 1312. The first elastic arm 1311 extends in the front-to-back direction and can elastically deform in the height direction. The first hook 1312 is located on the side of the first elastic arm 1311 closer to the display portion 112. When assembling the control board assembly 13 and the panel 11, the first hook 1312 and the second latching portion 1111 are latched by the elastic deformation of the first elastic arm 1311.

[0046] When the control panel assembly 13 and the panel 11 are locked together, the first hook 1312 and the second hook part 1111 abut against each other in the front-back direction. The second hook part 1111 provides the first hook 1312 with a force toward the display part 112, thereby limiting the control panel assembly 13 and the panel 11 in the front-back direction.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the second latching portion 1111 is semi-enclosed. The second latching portion 1111 and the side wall of the base portion 111 together form a latching groove. When the control board assembly 13 is latched with the panel 11, the first latch 1312 is located in the latching groove. In this way, the second latching portion 1111 can limit the first latch 1312 in all directions, making the connection between the control board assembly 13 and the panel 11 more stable.

[0048] The assembly of the control board assembly 13 and the panel 11 is achieved through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the first snap-fit ​​part 131 and the second snap-fit ​​part 1111, avoiding complex installation operations and eliminating the need for additional tools, thus reducing assembly difficulty, improving assembly efficiency, and facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

[0049] The control panel assembly 13 is also snapped and fixed to the main body 12. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the control panel assembly 13 is further provided with a third latching part 132, and the main body 12 is provided with a fourth latching part 122 that cooperates with the third latching part 132. The fourth latching part 122 is located below the display part 112.

[0050] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the third latching portion 132 includes a third elastic arm 1321 and a third latch 1322. The two ends of the third elastic arm 1321 are connected to the main body of the control panel assembly 13 and the third latch 1322, respectively. The fourth latching portion 122 includes a fourth elastic arm 1221 and a fourth latch 1222. The two ends of the fourth elastic arm 1221 are connected to the main body of the body 12 and the fourth latch 1222, respectively. Both the third elastic arm 1321 and the fourth elastic arm 1221 extend in the front-rear direction and can undergo elastic deformation in the height direction. The third latch 1322 is located on the side of the third elastic arm 1321 closer to the display portion 112, and the fourth latch 1222 is located on the side of the fourth elastic arm 1221 away from the display portion 112. Utilizing the elastic characteristics of the third elastic arm 1321 and the fourth elastic arm 1221, the latching process between the control panel assembly 13 and the body 12 is easier and more convenient.

[0051] When the control panel assembly 13 is snapped into place with the main body 12, the third hook 1322 and the fourth hook 1222 abut against each other in the front-back direction. The fourth hook 1222 provides a force to the third hook 1322 toward the display section 112, thereby limiting the front-back movement of the control panel assembly 13 and the main body 12.

[0052] The control board assembly 13 is assembled with the main body 12 through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the third snap-fit ​​part 132 and the fourth snap-fit ​​part 122, thus providing double snap-fit ​​fixation for the control board assembly 13 and enhancing its stability within the accommodating space 121. The snap-fit ​​fixation of the control board assembly 13, the main body 12, and the panel 11 avoids complex installation operations and further improves assembly efficiency.

[0053] In some cases, the engagement between the first engaging part 131 and the second engaging part 1111, and between the third engaging part 132 and the fourth engaging part 122, can also be achieved through other matching methods, such as dovetail groove engagement, flexible ball head engagement, hook engagement, etc.

[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the control board assembly 13 is rectangular. A first latching portion 131 is located on the top surface of the control board assembly 13, and a third latching portion 132 is located on the bottom surface of the control board assembly 13. There are two first latching portions 131 and one third latching portion 132. In this way, both the upper and lower ends of the control board assembly 13 are fixed, resulting in more even force distribution within the accommodating space 121 and improving the stability of the control board assembly 13 during installation.

[0055] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, a positioning hole 1121 is provided on the display unit 112, and a protruding positioning ring 133 is provided on the side of the control board assembly 13 near the display unit 112. The positioning ring 133 passes through the positioning hole 1121 and is in close contact with the display unit 112, and is supported by the positioning hole 1121. The positioning hole 1121 can restrict the radial movement of the positioning ring 133, realizing the radial positioning between the control board assembly 13 and the panel 11, and further improving the accuracy and stability of the installation position of the control board assembly 13.

[0056] Furthermore, the positioning hole 1121 is located in the center of the display section 112. This ensures that the positioning ring 133 is centered when passing through the positioning hole 1121, making the installation of the control board assembly 13 on the panel 11 more symmetrical and stable. It also facilitates the installation and operation of the knob 14 and improves the aesthetics of the main unit.

[0057] A control shaft 134 is also provided on the side of the control panel assembly 13 near the panel 11, and the control shaft 134 passes through the positioning hole 1121. Along the axial direction, the control shaft 134 is located inside the positioning ring 133. A knob 14 is fastened to the outside of the positioning ring 133 and connected to the control shaft 134. When the knob 14 is rotated, it can drive the control shaft 134 to rotate, thereby realizing the control of the main unit 10.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main unit 10 also includes a fastener 16. The fastener 16 passes through the panel 11, the main body 12, and the control board assembly 13 along the height direction, reinforcing the connection between these three components and improving the connection stability and overall structural strength of the main unit 10. The fastener 16 is positioned along the height direction, allowing for installation using conventional tools, simplifying the operation.

[0059] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the main body 12 is provided with a horizontal first positioning plate 124, and the control board assembly 13 is provided with a horizontal second positioning plate 135. The first positioning plate 124 and the second positioning plate 135 are respectively provided with a first connecting hole 1241 and a second connecting hole 1351. Fasteners 16 pass through the second connecting hole 1351 and the first connecting hole 1241 respectively and are connected to the panel 11, thereby reinforcing the panel 11, the main body 12, and the control board assembly 13. By providing the horizontal first positioning plate 124 and the second positioning plate 135, the control board assembly 13 can be effectively prevented from rotating axially along with the knob 14 during rotation, further improving the stability of the control board assembly 13.

[0060] Furthermore, the panel 11 is provided with a connecting post 1112, which extends along the height direction. A connecting groove 1113 is provided at one end of the connecting post 1112 near the first positioning plate 124. The fastener 16 passes through the second connecting hole 1351 and the first connecting hole 1241 from bottom to top and then extends into the connecting groove 1113, and is interference-fitted with the connecting groove 1113.

[0061] In this embodiment, there are two of each of the first positioning plate 124, the second positioning plate 135, and the connecting post 1112. The two second positioning plates 135 extend from the edge of the control plate assembly 13 to the left and right sides, respectively. The fastener 16 is a bolt.

[0062] The main unit of this application is fixed to the panel 11 and the main body 12 by the control board assembly 13, which achieves the axial positioning of the control board assembly 13. The radial positioning of the control board assembly 13 is achieved by the cooperation of the positioning ring 133 and the positioning hole 1121. At the same time, the panel 11, the main body 12 and the control board assembly 13 are reinforced by the fastener 16.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a food processor, including a blending cup assembly 20 and a main unit 10 as described above, wherein the blending cup assembly 20 is assembled to the top of the main unit 10. Specifically, the blending cup assembly 20 is connected to the base portion 111.

[0064] The main unit and the food processor of this application are assembled by the snap-fit ​​of the first snap-fit ​​part 131 and the second snap-fit ​​part 1111, which avoids complicated installation operations and does not require additional tools, reduces assembly difficulty, improves assembly efficiency, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0065] 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.
