The steam generating component is used to deliver hot steam into the cup body to heat the food inside.

[0003] The aforementioned baby food makers have the following shortcomings in practical applications: The motor is located below the cup, which on the one hand results in the lower part of the baby food maker being relatively high, and the cup itself being positioned at a relatively high height, making it inconvenient for users to operate; on the other hand, it affects the overall layout and heat dissipation of the baby food maker. If the steam generating component is also located below the cup, the motor will be too close to the steam generating component, affecting the motor's heat dissipation, and requiring a complex structure to prevent water from the steam generating component from entering the motor. Conversely, if the steam generating component is located on the horizontal side of the cup, the baby food maker will occupy a large horizontal space, and it will be difficult to ensure the uniform heating of the food inside the cup by the hot steam. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a baby food maker that aims to solve the technical problem of inconvenience for users due to unreasonable motor position settings in related technologies.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0044] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may be connected to an intermediary component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component through an intermediary component.

[0045] Reference Figure 1As shown in the figure, the baby food processor 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention is a kitchen appliance used for preparing baby food. It is mainly used to make food into pureed or mushy food.

[0046] In one implementation, the food processor 10 provided in this embodiment is a pet food processor, that is, the food processor 10 is used to prepare supplementary food for pets, which can meet the user's need to prepare supplementary food for pets at home, so that pets can eat fresh, freshly prepared food. Of course, in specific applications, the food processor 10 provided in this embodiment is not limited to a pet food processor, but can also be a human food processor, which can be used to prepare supplementary food for humans, such as supplementary food suitable for mothers and infants, the elderly, and patients.

[0047] As one implementation method, the baby food maker 10 provided in this embodiment is a steaming and blending machine that integrates the functions of steaming food and blending food. It is mainly used to steam and blend food into a fine puree or paste.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 provided in this embodiment includes a cup body 100, a stirring component 200, a motor 300, and a steam generating component 400. The cup body 100 is used to hold food. The stirring component 200 is used to stir the food inside the cup body 100. The motor 300 is connected to the stirring component 200 to drive the stirring component 200 to rotate. The steam generating component 400 generates hot steam to heat the food inside the cup body 100, thereby steaming the food. The cup body 100 mainly provides a place to hold food. The stirring component 200 and the motor 300 mainly perform the function of stirring the food. The steam generating component 400 mainly performs the function of steaming the food.

[0049] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cup body 100 has an inner cavity 1111 for containing food. A stirring member 200 is at least partially rotatably disposed within the inner cavity 1111 for stirring the food within the inner cavity 1111. A motor 300 is driveably connected to the stirring member 200 for driving the stirring member 200 to rotate. A steam generating member 400 has a steam outlet 4111, which communicates with the inner cavity 1111 and is used to supply heating steam to the inner cavity 1111 for heating the food within the inner cavity 1111.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the motor 300 is located above the cup body 100, that is, the motor 300 is connected to the stirring component 200 from above the cup body 100. This embodiment, by placing the motor 300 above the cup body 100, has several advantages. Firstly, it reduces the height of the portion of the baby food processor 10 below the cup body 100 and lowers the overall height of the cup body 100, making it easier for the user to take food from and place it in the cup body 100. Secondly, it keeps the motor 300 away from other heat sources of the baby food processor 10, thus improving heat dissipation. Furthermore, placing the motor 300 above the cup body 100, compared to placing it horizontally to the side of the cup body 100, reduces the horizontal space occupied by the baby food processor 10 and simplifies the transmission mechanism between the motor 300 and the stirring component 200.

[0051] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cup body 100 includes a container body 110 and a support column 120. The container body 110 forms an inner cavity 1111 for containing food. The support column 120 protrudes at least partially into the inner cavity 1111; that is, the support column 120 may be only partially located within the inner cavity 1111 and that portion extends and protrudes into the inner cavity 1111, or it may be entirely located within the inner cavity 1111 and the entire support column 120 extends and protrudes into the inner cavity 1111. The stirring member 200 is at least partially inserted into the inner cavity 1111; that is, the stirring member 200 may be only partially inserted into the inner cavity 1111, or it may be entirely inserted into the inner cavity 1111. The stirring component 200 is rotatably supported on the support column 120 for stirring the food in the inner cavity 1111. Specifically, the stirring component 200 is supported on the support column 120 and can rotate relative to the support column 120 under the drive of the motor 300, thereby stirring the food in the inner cavity 1111 through rotation. In this embodiment, the stirring component 200 is supported by the support column 120 in the cup body 100, eliminating the need for other components outside the cup body 100 to support the stirring component 200, which improves the efficiency of the baby food processor 10 (see reference). Figure 1 The structure is compact (as shown) and facilitates the simplification of the installation structure of the stirring component 200.

[0052] Reference Figures 3 to 7As shown, in one embodiment, the support column 120 has a first steam channel 121 and a steam guide hole 122. The first steam channel 121 extends axially along the support column 120, and the steam guide hole 122 extends from the outer side wall of the support column 120 and communicates with the first steam channel 121. The stirring member 200 and the support column 120 enclose a second steam channel 201, which communicates with the steam guide hole 122 and extends toward the bottom of the inner cavity 1111. The steam generating member 400 has a steam outlet 4111, which communicates with the first steam channel 121 to supply hot steam flowing from the steam generating member 400 sequentially through the first steam channel 121, the steam guide hole 122, and the second steam channel 201 into the inner cavity 1111, thereby heating the food in the inner cavity 1111. A support column 120 extends vertically and protrudes from the inner cavity 1111, with its axial direction being vertical, i.e., the height direction of the food supplement machine 10. A first steam channel 121 extends vertically from bottom to top. A steam guide hole 122 is a lateral opening formed in the support column 120 to connect the inside and outside of the support column 120. A second steam channel 201 extends towards the bottom of the inner cavity 1111, so that the hot steam entering the second steam channel 201 from the steam guide hole 122 flows downwards into the inner cavity 1111. Specifically, the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 first enters the first steam channel from the steam outlet 4111, then flows upward along the first steam channel to the steam guide hole 122, and from the steam guide hole 122 enters the second steam channel. Guided by the second steam channel, it flows downward towards the bottom of the inner cavity 1111, ensuring that the hot steam entering the inner cavity 1111 first contacts the lower layer of food inside the inner cavity 1111, and then gradually permeates upward to the upper layer of food. This ensures that the hot steam entering the cup body 100 effectively heats the lower layer of food inside the cup body 100, improving the uniformity of heating. Furthermore, because the hot steam gradually flows upward from the lower layer of food inside the cup body 100, it can fully contact the food inside the cup body 100 for heat exchange before being discharged outside the cup body 100, improving the utilization rate of the hot steam and preventing energy waste. Furthermore, this embodiment utilizes the internal space of the support column 120 used to support the stirring component 200 to form a first steam flow channel 121 to guide hot steam to flow from bottom to top, and guides the hot steam to the second steam flow channel 201 through the steam guide hole 122. This makes the structure of the baby food machine 10 more compact, and the internal space of the support column 120 can be used to form a larger first steam flow channel 121, which helps to ensure a larger delivery volume of hot steam. This allows the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 to quickly enter the second steam flow channel 201 through the first steam flow channel 121, thereby helping to ensure the steaming efficiency of the food.In this embodiment, the second steam channel 201 is formed by the stirring member 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the second steam channel 201 can also be formed by the stirring member 200 alone, that is, the stirring member 200 forms the second steam channel 201.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the steam generating component 400 is located below the cup body 100, that is, the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 are arranged vertically along the height direction of the baby food machine 10. With this arrangement, the hot steam generated by the steam generating component 400 can flow naturally upward to the first steam flow channel 121 without the need for power drive, thereby simplifying the structure of the baby food machine 10 and reducing its cost. Furthermore, placing the motor 300 above the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 below the cup body 100 allows the motor 300 to be positioned away from the steam generating component 400. This arrangement serves several purposes: firstly, since both the motor 300 and the steam generating component 400 generate a significant amount of heat during operation, positioning the motor 300 away from the steam generating component 400 facilitates separate heat dissipation for both components, thus ensuring effective heat dissipation; secondly, it reduces the waterproofing requirements for the motor 300; and thirdly, compared to placing the steam generating component 400 horizontally to the side of the cup body 100, positioning it below the cup body 100 reduces the horizontal space occupied by the baby food processor 10.

[0054] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a second steam channel 201 is formed between the inner wall of the stirring component 200 and the outer wall of the support column 120. In this embodiment, the formation of the second steam channel 201 is simple, which helps to reduce the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the stirring component 200 and the support column 120.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first steam channel 121 extends along the central axis of the support column 120, that is, the first steam channel 121 extends from bottom to top along the center of the support column 120. In this embodiment, the support column 120 is a hollow column structure, and the first steam channel 121 is formed by utilizing the hollow part of the support column 120. This facilitates the formation of a larger first steam channel 121, allowing hot steam to flow quickly and unobstructed within the first steam channel 121, which helps ensure the steaming efficiency of the food; it also facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the first steam channel 121; and it helps ensure the uniformity of the wall thickness of the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the first steam channel 121 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the first steam channel 121 is an annular groove or a plurality of holes spaced around the central axis of the support column 120 between the central axis of the support column 120 and the outer wall of the support column 120.

[0056] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first steam channel 121 extends upward from the bottom end of the support column 120 along the axial direction of the support column 120, that is, the bottom end of the support column 120 is open. The first steam channel 121 penetrates the bottom end of the support column 120 and has a downward-facing steam inlet 1211, which is directly opposite to and connected to the steam outlet 4111. This facilitates the smoother and faster entry of hot steam into the first steam channel 121 and also makes the processing of the support column 120 easier. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the support column 120 can also be configured as a structure with a closed bottom end, and a lateral opening is provided on the outer wall of the support column 120 near the bottom end of the support column 120 to form the steam inlet 1211 of the first steam channel 121. In this alternative embodiment, in order to form the first steam channel 121, the support column 120 can be designed to be formed by splicing two parts.

[0057] In one implementation, the stirring component 200 is rotatably supported on the top of the support column 120. That is, the stirring component 200 is connected to the top of the support column 120, thus enabling the support column 120 to support the stirring component 200 and achieving a rotatable connection between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120. This allows the connection point between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120 to be positioned slightly upwards. When the motor 300 is positioned above the cup body 100, the steam generating component 400 is positioned below the cup body 100, and the stirring component 200 is rotatably supported on the top of the support column 120, the distance between the connection point of the stirring component 200 and the motor 300 and the connection point of the stirring component 200 and the support column 120 can be reduced. This reduces the weight of the stirring component 200 and, consequently, ensures the smoothness of the rotation of the stirring component 200 driven by the motor 300.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the stirring component 200 rotatably abuts against the top of the support column 120. That is, the stirring component 200 achieves support on the support column 120 and rotatable connection with the support column 120 through direct contact with the top of the support column 120. This simplifies the connection structure between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the stirring component 200 can also be rotatably connected to other parts of the support column 120 via bearings.

[0059] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the top end of the support column 120 is closed, meaning the first steam channel 121 is a blind hole formed on the support column 120. In this embodiment, the first steam channel 121 does not penetrate the top end of the support column 120. This allows the top end of the support column 120 to have a certain surface area for contact with the stirring component 200, and also helps prevent hot steam from exerting upward pressure on the stirring component 200, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the stirring component 200 and the support column 120.

[0060] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 extends radially along the support column 120, that is, the steam guide hole 122 extends horizontally, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the steam guide hole 122. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the steam guide hole 122 can also extend obliquely at a certain angle relative to the horizontal direction.

[0061] In one implementation, the distance from the steam guide hole 122 to the top of the support column 120 is less than the distance to the bottom of the support column 120. That is, the steam guide hole 122 is formed in the upper half of the support column 120. This makes it easier to set the steam guide hole 122 closer to the top of the second steam flow channel 201, thereby reducing the stagnation area (i.e., dead corner, the space where hot steam will stagnate for a long time after entering) formed by the second steam flow channel 201, and thus improving the utilization rate of hot steam.

[0062] In one implementation, the distance from the steam guide hole 122 to the bottom of the support column 120 is greater than or equal to two-thirds of the height of the support column 120. This facilitates setting the steam guide hole 122 closer to the top of the second steam flow channel 201, thereby further reducing the stagnation area formed by the second steam flow channel 201.

[0063] In one implementation, the second steam channel 201 extends from the steam guide hole 122 toward the bottom of the inner cavity 1111, meaning the top of the second steam channel 201 is connected to the steam guide hole 122. This allows the hot steam discharged from the steam guide hole 122 to flow directly downwards along the second steam channel 201 into the inner cavity 1111, preventing the formation of a stagnant area in the second steam channel 201 that hinders the upward flow of heating steam, thus maximizing the utilization rate of the hot steam. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the steam guide hole 122 may not be connected to the top of the second steam channel 201, but rather there may be a certain distance between it and the top of the second steam channel 201, allowing for a certain stagnant area in the upper part of the second steam channel 201.

[0064] In one implementation, the steam guide hole 122 is connected to the top end of the first steam channel 121. This helps to reduce the stagnation area of ​​the first steam channel 121, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of hot steam and reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the steam guide hole 122. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the steam guide hole 122 may not be connected to the top end of the first steam channel 121, but may have a certain distance between it and the top end of the first steam channel 121, allowing for a certain stagnation area in the upper part of the first steam channel 121.

[0065] In one implementation, there are multiple steam guide holes 122, with at least two steam guide holes 122 distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support column 120. This is beneficial for accelerating the flow rate of hot steam from the first steam channel 121 into the second steam channel 201, and for improving the uniformity of hot steam distribution.

[0066] In one implementation, all steam guide holes 122 are distributed circumferentially around the support column 120, meaning all steam guide holes 122 are distributed at intervals along the same circumference. This facilitates the manufacturing and shaping of the multiple steam guide holes 122 and ensures the uniformity of the distribution of hot steam discharged from the multiple steam guide holes 122. Of course, in specific applications, the distribution of the multiple steam guide holes 122 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, at least two steam guide holes 122 may be distributed axially around the support column 120.

[0067] In one embodiment, the number of steam guide holes 122 is three, and the three steam guide holes 122 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the number and distribution of steam guide holes 122 are not limited to this. For example, the number of steam guide holes 122 can also be two, four, five or more, and some of the steam guide holes 122 can be distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support column 120, and some of the steam guide holes 122 can be distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the support column 120.

[0068] In one implementation, the support column 120 is detachably connected to the container body 110, meaning the support column 120 is detachably connected to the container body 110. Specifically, the support column 120 can be connected to the container body 110, and can be removed from the container body 110 without damaging either the support column 120 or the container body 110, thus achieving separation of the support column 120 from the container body 110. In this embodiment, the support column 120 and the container body 110 are two separately manufactured components, assembled together through a detachable connection. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the support column 120 and the container body 110, and facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the support column 120 and the container body 110. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the support column 120 and the container body 110 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative implementation, the support column 120 and the container body 110 can also be manufactured as a single piece, that is, the support column 120 and the container body 110 are a single component formed by a mold. Alternatively, as another alternative implementation, the support column 120 and the container body 110 can also be manufactured separately and then connected in a non-detachable manner, such as by bonding, fusion, or welding.

[0069] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the support column 120 includes a main body 123 and a spherical head 124. The spherical head 124 is located at the top of the main body 123 and has a first spherical surface 1241. A first steam channel 121 extends from the main body 123 to the spherical head 124. A steam guide hole 122 extends from the first spherical surface 1241 and the outer side wall of the main body 123, communicating with the first steam channel 121. The stirring member 200 is rotatably supported on the spherical head 124. In this embodiment, by forming a first spherical surface 1241 at the top of the support column 120 to support the stirring member 200, the frictional force experienced by the stirring member 200 during rotation is reduced, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the motor 300 driving the stirring member 200 to rotate. The upper portion of each steam guide hole 122 extends from the first spherical surface 1241 and connects to the first steam flow channel 121, while the lower portion of each steam guide hole 122 extends from the outer side wall of the main body 123 and connects to the first steam flow channel 121. This arrangement helps ensure that the steam guide hole 122 has a large steam flow rate and allows the steam guide hole 122 to be as close as possible to the top of the support column 120, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the steam guide hole 122. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the steam guide hole 122 may only extend from the first spherical surface 1241 and connect to the first steam flow channel 121, or only extend from the outer side wall of the main body 123 and connect to the first steam flow channel 121.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the support column 120 further includes a locking portion 125 and a connecting portion 126 extending sequentially downward from the bottom end of the main body 123. Specifically, the locking portion 125 is disposed between the main body 123 and the connecting portion 126 along the axial direction of the support column 120. The outer diameter of the locking portion 125 is larger than the outer diameter of the main body 123 and also larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 126. The connecting portion 126 is connected to the bottom of the container body 110. A first steam flow channel 121 extends sequentially from the bottom end of the connecting portion 126 through the locking portion 125 and the main body 123 to the ball head 124. Specifically, the first steam flow channel 121 is disposed sequentially through the connecting portion 126, the locking portion 125, and the main body 123 along the axial direction of the support column 120, and extends to the ball head 124. The connecting portion 126 is mainly used to connect the support column 120 to the container body 110. The locking part 125 is mainly used to cooperate with the cup body 100 to axially limit the support column 120. In this embodiment, a steam inlet 1211 is formed at the bottom of the cup body 100. The steam inlet 1211 is formed at the bottom end of the first steam flow channel 121. The steam inlet 1211 is connected to the steam outlet 4111 to allow heating steam to enter the inner cavity 1111 from the steam generating component 400.

[0071] In one embodiment, the locking part 125, the main body part 123 and the ball head 124 are all housed in the inner cavity 1111, that is, the locking part 125, the main body part 123 and the ball head 124 are the parts of the support column 120 protruding into the inner cavity 1111.

[0072] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the stirring component 200 is positioned above the top end of the locking portion 125, i.e., the bottom end of the stirring component 200 is located above the top end of the locking portion 125, and there is a gap between the bottom end of the stirring component 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125. The outlet of the second steam channel 201 is positioned facing the top end of the locking portion 125. The gap between the bottom end of the stirring component 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125 ensures that the outlet of the second steam channel 201 is not blocked by the locking portion 125, thereby allowing the hot steam flowing out from the outlet of the second steam channel 201 to enter the food and diffuse within it. In specific applications, the hot steam entering the second steam channel 201 through the steam guide hole 122 flows downward to the food located at the gap between the bottom end of the stirring component 200 and the top end of the locking portion 125, and diffuses laterally and upward from the food located at this gap to the surrounding food, thereby heating the food from bottom to top.

[0073] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 7 to 10As shown, in one embodiment, the cup body 100 also includes a nut 130, and a first connecting hole 1112 is provided through the bottom of the container body 110. The connecting part 126 passes through the first connecting hole 1112 and is threadedly connected to the nut 130 located below the container body 110. The first connecting hole 1112 is a light-transmitting hole. The connecting part 126 includes a light rod section 1261 and a threaded section 1262. The outer wall of the light rod section 1261 is the cylindrical surface of the light source, and the outer wall of the threaded section 1262 is provided with external threads. The light rod section 1261 passes through the first connecting hole 1112, and the threaded section 1262 protrudes below the container body 110 and is threadedly connected to the nut 130. The locking part 125 and the nut 130 can axially limit the support column 120 from two opposite directions. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide an internal thread in the first connecting hole 1112. The connecting part 126 is locked and fixed by the nut 130 below the container body 110, which helps to reduce the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the container body 110. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the first connecting hole 1112 can also be provided as a threaded hole, and the connecting part 126 can be directly threaded into the first connecting hole 1112.

[0074] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the cup body 100 further includes a sealing sleeve 140, which is fitted over the partial connecting portion 126 to seal at least one of the following mating gaps: the mating gap between the bottom end of the locking portion 125 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 1111, and the mating gap between the outer wall of the connecting portion 126 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 1112. The sealing sleeve 140 helps prevent food inside the inner cavity 1111 from leaking downwards through the mating gap between the support column 120 and the first connecting hole 1112.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing sleeve 140 includes a first sealing section 141 and a second sealing section 142. The first sealing section 141 is located at the top of the second sealing section 142, and the outer diameter of the first sealing section 141 is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing section 142. The first sealing section 141 is located between the bottom end face of the locking part 125 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 1111 to seal the mating gap between the bottom end of the locking part 125 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 1111. The second sealing section 142 is located between the outer wall of the connecting part 126 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 1112 to seal the mating gap between the outer wall of the connecting part 126 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 1112. In this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 140 is a T-shaped sleeve, which can form a double sealing structure for the fit between the support column 120 and the container body 110, thereby improving the sealing reliability of the connection between the support column 120 and the container body 110.

[0076] In one embodiment, the main body 123 has a tapered structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, meaning that the main body 123 extends downward from the spherical head 124 with a gradually increasing diameter. This facilitates the integral molding of the support column 120 using a mold and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the stirring component 200 and the support column 120. Of course, in specific applications, the shape of the main body 123 is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the main body 123 can also be a cylindrical structure, meaning that the main body 123 extends downward from the spherical head 124 with a uniform diameter.

[0077] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the stirring component 200 includes a connecting rod 210 and at least two blades 220. The at least two blades 220 are connected to the outer side wall of the connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 has a second connecting hole 211, which extends upwards along the axial direction of the connecting rod 210 from its bottom end. A second spherical surface 2111 facing the bottom of the inner cavity 1111 is formed at the top end of the second connecting hole 211. A portion of the second spherical surface 2111 is fitted and supported on the top end of the support column 120. The inner wall of the second connecting hole 211 and the outer wall of the support column 120 enclose each other to form a second steam flow channel 201. Specifically, the second spherical surface 2111 is partially fitted and supported on a first spherical surface 1241. The inner side wall of the second connecting hole 211, the outer side wall of the main body 123, and a portion of the outer wall of the spherical head 124 enclose each other to form the second steam flow channel 201. The second connecting hole 211 is a blind hole extending upwards from the bottom end of the connecting rod 210. The stirring component 200 can be sleeved on the support column 120 through the second connection hole 211, making its installation and disassembly relatively convenient.

[0078] In one embodiment, the central axis of the support column 120 is coaxial with the rotational central axis of the stirring component 200, that is, the central axis of the support column 120 and the central axis of the stirring component 200 are collinear, which facilitates the centering of the stirring component 200.

[0079] In one embodiment, the rotation center axis of the motor 300 is coaxial with the rotation center axis of the stirring component 200, that is, the rotation center axis of the motor 300 and the rotation center axis of the stirring component 200 are collinear.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 also includes a transmission assembly 500, through which the motor 300 is driven to the stirring component 200. The transmission assembly 500 may include, for example, at least one of a reducer, a gear transmission mechanism, or a belt transmission mechanism. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the motor 300 may also be directly driven to the stirring component 200.

[0081] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 16 As shown, in one embodiment, the stirring component 200 further includes a connecting shaft 230, which is disposed at the top end of the connecting rod 210. The transmission assembly 500 includes an output shaft 510, which is drively connected to the connecting shaft 230. The connecting shaft 230 can be detachably connected to the connecting rod 210 or integrally formed with the connecting rod 210.

[0082] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 16 As shown, in one embodiment, the output shaft 510 is provided with a shaft hole 511, and the connecting shaft 230 is inserted into the shaft hole 511. The cross-sectional shape of the shaft hole 511 and the cross-sectional shape of the connecting shaft 230 are the same, both being non-circular structures. This helps to prevent relative rotation between the output shaft 510 and the connecting shaft 230, thereby ensuring that the output shaft 510 can effectively drive the connecting shaft 230 to rotate under the drive of the motor 300. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the shaft hole 511 can also be provided on the connecting shaft 230, and the output shaft 510 can be configured to be inserted into the shaft hole 511.

[0083] In one implementation, the cross-sections of both the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 are approximately pentagonal. This allows the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 to have multiple mating edges, thereby reducing the probability of the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 being rounded, and thus ensuring the reliability of the transmission connection between the output shaft 510 and the connecting shaft 230. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, the cross-sectional shapes of the shaft hole 511 and the connecting shaft 230 are not limited to this. For example, they can also be polygonal, or D-shaped with one plane, or racetrack-shaped with two opposing planes and two opposing arc surfaces, etc.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 also includes a base 600 and a top cover 700. The cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400 are respectively disposed on the base 600. The top cover 700 is installed on top of the base 600 and covers the cup body 100. The motor 300 is at least partially disposed within the top cover 700. The baby food processor 10 is placed on a countertop, tabletop, floor, or other surface via the base 600. The base 600 is used to house and protect the cup body 100 and the steam generating component 400, while the top cover 700 is used to house and protect the motor 300. By placing the top cover 700 on the base 600, the cup body 100 can be covered by the top cover 700, and the motor 300 can be connected to the stirring component 200 for transmission.

[0085] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the steam generating component 400 includes a water tank 410 and a heating device 420. The heating device 420 heats the water in the water tank 410 to generate hot steam. A steam outlet 4111 is formed at the top of the water tank 410. A steam inlet 1211 is formed at the bottom of the cup body 100, and the steam inlet 1211 communicates with the steam outlet 4111 to allow hot steam to enter the inner cavity 1111 from the water tank 410. In this embodiment, hot steam can enter the inner cavity 1111 from the bottom of the cup body 100.

[0086] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the water tank 410 is detachably mounted on the base 600. That is, the user can remove the water tank 410 from the base 600 without damaging the water tank 410 and the base 600. In some related technologies prior to this application, the water tank 410 is integrated into the base 600, i.e., a cavity is partitioned out on the base 600 as the water tank 410. This water tank 410 cannot be removed from the base 600, resulting in a relatively large base 600. When it is necessary to empty the water in the water tank 410, add water to the water tank 410, or clean the water tank 410, the entire base 600 must be carried to perform these operations. Because the base 600 is relatively large, it is inconvenient and laborious for the user to operate. Furthermore, because the base 600 is relatively heavy and large, when pouring out hot water from the water tank 410, it is easy to cause scalding to the user. In this implementation scheme, since the water tank 410 can be removed separately from the base 600, in practical applications, when it is necessary to clean the water tank 410, empty the water in the water tank 410, or add water to the water tank 410, the user can remove the water tank 410 separately for cleaning, emptying, or adding water, without having to carry the entire base 600. Furthermore, since the water tank 410 is much smaller than the base 600, removing the water tank 410 separately for cleaning, emptying, or adding water makes the operation very convenient and effortless for the user, and also helps to reduce the risk of scalding the user when emptying water.

[0087] In one embodiment, a water tank 410 is vertically positioned between the cup body 100 and the heating device 420. The heating device 420 heats the water in the water tank 410 from the bottom of the water tank 410.

[0088] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the water tank 410 includes a tank body 411 and a handle 412. The tank body 411 forms a water storage cavity 4112, and the top of the water storage cavity 4112 is open to form a steam outlet 4111. The handle 412 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water storage cavity 4112. The handle 412 is mainly used for the user to hold and move the water tank 410, thus making it more convenient for the user to clean the water tank 410, pour out the water in the water tank 410, or add water to the water tank 410.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 14As shown, in one embodiment, the base 600 has a first recess 610, and the water tank 410 is detachably installed in the first recess 610. The heating device 420 is located at the bottom of the water tank 410 or the bottom of the first recess 610. In this embodiment, by accommodating the water tank 410 in the first recess 610 on the base 600, the structural compactness of the baby food processor 10 can be improved, and the exposed water tank 410 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of users accidentally touching the water tank 410 and getting burned. It also helps to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the baby food processor 10.

[0090] In one implementation, the material of the water tank 410 is different from that of the base 600. The separability of the water tank 410 and the base 600 allows them to be manufactured separately, thus enabling them to be made of different materials, thereby improving the quality and durability of the water tank 410.

[0091] In one implementation, the tank body 411 is made of stainless steel, and the base 600 is made of plastic. Using stainless steel for the tank body 411 helps improve the water tank 410's high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and safety performance. Of course, in specific applications, the material selection for the water tank 410 and the base 600 is not limited to this.

[0092] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the water tank 410 is provided with a third connector 430, and the bottom wall of the first cavity 610 is provided with a fourth connector 630 electrically connected to the main control board. The third connector 430 is used to plug into the fourth connector 630. The main control board is configured to control the cessation of power supply to the motor 300 when the first connector 720 is disengaged from the second connector 640. The plugging and mating of the third connector 430 and the fourth connector 630 can realize the electrical connection between the heating device 420 and the main control board, and can also realize the mechanical positioning of the water tank 410 and the base 600.

[0093] In one embodiment, the heating device 420 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 410.

[0094] In one implementation, the cup body 100 is detachably mounted on the base 600, meaning the user can remove the cup body 100 from the base 600 without damaging either the cup body 100 or the base 600. In some prior art, the cup body 100 was integrated into the base 600, with a cavity created on the base 600 to serve as the cup body 100. This cup body 100 could not be removed from the base 600, resulting in a large base 600. When cleaning the water tank 410 and the cup body 100, the entire base 600 had to be carried for cleaning, making the process cumbersome and laborious for the user. In this implementation scheme, since the cup body 100 can be removed separately from the base 600, in practical applications, when it is necessary to clean the cup body 100, the user can remove the cup body 100 separately for cleaning, without having to carry the entire base 600 for cleaning, making the user's operation very convenient and labor-saving.

[0095] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 600 also forms a second recess 620, which is recessed downward from the top of the base 600. A first recess 610 is recessed downward from the bottom of the second recess 620, and the cup body 100 is detachably mounted in the second recess 620. In this embodiment, by accommodating the cup body 100 in the second recess 620 on the base 600, the structural compactness of the baby food processor 10 is improved, and the exposed portion of the cup body 100 is reduced.

[0096] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 also includes a sealing ring 440. The top of the water tank 410 is open to form a steam outlet 4111. The sealing ring 440 is disposed between the top edge of the water tank 410 and the bottom edge of the cup body 100 to seal the mating gap between the top edge of the water tank 410 and the bottom edge of the cup body 100. The sealing ring 440 helps prevent the hot steam generated inside the water tank 410 from overflowing from the gap between the top edge of the water tank 410 and the bottom edge of the cup body 100, thereby improving the utilization rate of hot steam and effectively avoiding energy waste.

[0097] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, the container body 110 includes a cup body 111, two lugs 112 protruding from opposite sides of the cup body 111, and two heat-insulating sleeves 113 respectively fitted over the lugs 112. The two lugs 112 protrude from opposite sides of the cup body 111, and the two heat-insulating sleeves 113 are respectively fitted over the lugs 112. The aforementioned inner cavity 1111 and the first connecting hole 1112 are both formed on the cup body 111. In this embodiment, each heat-insulating sleeve 113 is fitted over one lug 112 and forms a grip for the user to hold, allowing the user to pick up, put down, and move the container body 110. Since hot steam gradually diffuses upwards from the lower layer of food at the bottom of the inner cavity 1111 of the container body 110, the temperature of the grip is kept from becoming too high. In addition, the heat-insulating sleeve 113 helps to further reduce the risk of users being burned when extracting the container body 110.

[0098] In one implementation, the materials of the cup body 111 and the lug 112 are different from the material of the base 600. The separable design of the cup body 100 and the base 600 allows the cup body 111 and the base 600 to be manufactured separately, thereby allowing the cup body 111 and the base 600 to be made of different materials, which in turn helps to improve the quality and durability of the cup body 111.

[0099] In one implementation, the cup body 111 and the lug 112 are integrally formed, that is, the cup body 111 and the lug 112 are integrally manufactured by a mold.

[0100] In one implementation, both the cup body 111 and the lug 112 are made of glass or metal. Of course, in specific applications, the materials used for the cup body 111 and the lug 112 are not limited to this.

[0101] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a steam discharge channel 710 is formed on the top cover 700, and the steam discharge channel 710 communicates with the inner cavity 1111 to discharge hot steam inside the inner cavity 1111. Specifically, hot steam flowing out of the cup body 100 from the top of the cup body 100 can be discharged outside the baby food maker 10 through the steam discharge channel 710.

[0102] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, in one embodiment, the steam discharge channel 710 includes a steam discharge hole 711, a steam inlet hole 712, and a steam guide channel 713. The steam discharge hole 711 is located at the top of the upper cover 700, the steam inlet hole 712 is located at the bottom of the upper cover 700, and the steam guide channel 713 extends from the steam inlet hole 712 to the steam discharge hole 711.

[0103] In one implementation, the top cover 700 and the base 600 can be separated, that is, the top cover 700 can be detached from the base 600. This makes it convenient for users to take food out of the cup 100 and for users to remove the cup 100 from the base 600 for cleaning.

[0104] In one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 also includes a main control board (not shown), which is mounted on the base 600. The main control board is used to control the operation of the motor 300 and the steam generating component 400. In this embodiment, the motor 300 is located on the upper cover 700, and the main control board is located on the base 600. This allows the motor 300 to be positioned away from the main control board, thereby facilitating separate heat dissipation for the motor 300 and the main control board.

[0105] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the baby food processor 10 also includes a power cord 900. The main control board is electrically connected to the power cord 900. The power cord 900 is used to electrically connect to a power supply device independent of the baby food processor 10 and to supply power to the motor 300 and the heating device 420 through the main control board. The power supply device is an external power source for the baby food processor 10, which can specifically be a socket connected to the mains power. In this embodiment, the use of an external power source facilitates the long-term fixed use of the baby food processor 10. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative embodiment, the baby food processor 10 can also use a battery as a built-in power source, or the baby food processor 10 can also include both a battery and a power cord 900.

[0106] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 14 and Figure 16As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom of the upper cover 700 is provided with a first connector 720 electrically connected to the motor 300, and the base 600 is provided with a second connector 640 electrically connected to the main control board. The first connector 720 is used to plug into the second connector 640. The main control board is configured to stop supplying power to the motor 300 when the first connector 720 is disengaged from the second connector 640. The plugging and engaging of the first connector 720 and the second connector 640 can realize the electrical connection between the motor 300 and the main control board, and also realize the mechanical positioning of the upper cover 700 and the base 600.
