Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, specifically to a food processor with cooking containers of various sizes. 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] A food processor typically consists of a lid and a cooking container. The lid houses the cooking components used to heat the food inside the cooking container. To prevent the cooking components from being accidentally activated and to improve the safety of the device, a microswitch is usually installed between the lid and the cooking container. To accommodate different application scenarios, food processors with two different sizes of cooking containers have appeared on the market. However, because the cooking containers are of different sizes, the connection positions to the microswitches are also different. This often requires the installation of multiple additional microswitches at the corresponding connection positions to different cooking containers, increasing the material cost of the microswitches in the product.
[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a food processor with cooking containers of different sizes, which can adapt the product to more different application scenarios, and eliminates the need to set multiple microswitches for different cooking containers. This also eliminates the need to increase the material cost of microswitches while maintaining product safety.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0007] A food processor with cooking containers of different sizes includes a top cover, a first cooking container, and a second cooking container. The first and second cooking containers are selectively connected to the top cover to form a first cooking cavity and a second cooking cavity for placing food. The volume of the first cooking cavity is smaller than the volume of the second cooking cavity. An electrical component is provided on the inner side of the top cover. The electrical component is electrically connected to a micro switch. The micro switch is connected to a triggering component. The first and second cooking containers can respectively trigger the micro switch to conduct through the triggering component.
[0008] As a specific embodiment, the triggering component includes a first trigger member, and a trigger foot is provided on the lower side of the first trigger member. The trigger foot is in the shape of a downwardly extending column. The first cooking container abuts against the trigger foot, which can push the first trigger member to move upward and trigger the micro switch to conduct.
[0009] As a specific embodiment, the micro switch and the first trigger are offset laterally, with the micro switch being horizontally positioned. A trigger block is provided between the trigger end of the micro switch and the upper end of the first trigger. The first trigger and the trigger block are respectively provided with a first guide slope and a second guide slope. The first guide slope and the second guide slope slide against each other and are inclined from top to bottom toward the micro switch. When the first trigger moves upward, it can push the trigger block toward the trigger end of the micro switch through the cooperation of the first guide slope and the second guide slope, thereby triggering the micro switch to conduct.
[0010] As a specific embodiment, a fixing frame is provided between the first trigger and the micro switch. The fixing frame is provided with a switch fixing part for fixing the micro switch, and a limiting groove for limiting the position of the first trigger and the trigger block is also provided on the fixing frame.
[0011] As a specific embodiment, the fixing frame is also provided with a first limiting hole, and the first trigger is provided with a first guide post corresponding to the first limiting hole. The first guide post passes through the first limiting hole vertically and is concentrically arranged with each other.
[0012] As a specific embodiment, the triggering component further includes a second triggering element disposed on the second cooking container. The second triggering element is provided with a triggering part, which is in the shape of an upwardly extending column. The upper cover is connected and cooperates with the second cooking container so that the triggering part abuts against the triggering foot and pushes the first triggering element to move upward, thereby triggering and turning on the micro switch.
[0013] As a specific embodiment, the upper side of the second cooking container is provided with a mounting ring. The inner side of the mounting ring is open at the upper position of the second cooking container, corresponding to the lower side of the cover. The trigger part is arranged adjacent to the upper opening of the mounting ring. A reset spring is sleeved on the outer side of the trigger part. When the second cooking container is separated from the cover, the reset spring can push the second trigger part to move downward to reset.
[0014] As a specific embodiment, the second trigger is placed horizontally inside the mounting ring, and the second trigger is provided with a second limiting hole. The mounting ring is provided with a second guide post corresponding to the second limiting hole, and the second guide post passes through the second limiting hole vertically and is concentrically arranged with each other.
[0015] As a specific embodiment, the second trigger is provided with an external pin, which is respectively located on the opposite sides of the second limiting hole. The external pin extends downward through the lower side of the mounting ring and abuts against the second cooking container.
[0016] As a specific embodiment, the mounting ring and the top cover are respectively provided with a movable latch and a locking rib. When the second cooking container is connected and fitted with the top cover, the movable latch and the locking rib engage with each other to fix the mounting ring to the top cover.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] See Figures 1-16 This food processor with cooking containers of different sizes includes a top cover 1, a first cooking container 21, and a second cooking container 22. The first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22 are selectively connected to the top cover 1 to form a first cooking cavity 211 and a second cooking cavity 221 for placing food. The volume of the first cooking cavity 211 is smaller than the volume of the second cooking cavity 221, allowing users to choose different connection and combination methods of the top cover 1 and container components according to their usage needs, so that the product can adapt to more different application scenarios.
[0037] Specifically, when the user is cooking a relatively small amount of food, such as for personal use, the first cooking container 21 can be connected to the lid 1. The volume of the first cooking cavity 211 is relatively small, which makes cooking food more efficient, more energy-saving, and occupies less space overall.
[0038] When users have a relatively large amount of food to cook, such as in a family gathering environment suitable for multiple people, the second cooking container 22 can be connected with the lid 11. The second cooking cavity 221 has a relatively large volume, which can cook more food and reduce the user's waiting time.
[0039] An electrical component (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inside of the top cover 1. The electrical component is electrically connected to a micro switch 3. The micro switch 3 can prevent the electrical component from being accidentally started, thus improving the safety of the equipment.
[0040] The micro switch 3 is connected to a triggering component. The first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22 can respectively trigger the micro switch 3 through the triggering component, so that the same micro switch 3 can be triggered by either the first cooking container 21 or the second cooking container 22. This eliminates the need to set different micro switches 3 for the first cooking container 21 and the second cooking container 22, thus reducing the material cost of the micro switch 3.
[0041] Furthermore, the triggering component includes a first trigger member 41, and a trigger foot 411 is provided on the lower side of the first trigger member 41. The trigger foot 411 is in the shape of a downwardly extending column. The first cooking container 21 abuts against the trigger foot 411, which can push the first trigger member 41 to move upward and trigger the micro switch 3 to conduct. The first cooking container 21 forms a linkage relationship with the first trigger member 41 by directly contacting the trigger foot 411. The structure is very simple and improves the reliability of the linkage between the first trigger member 41 and the first cooking container 21.
[0042] Furthermore, the micro switch 3 and the first trigger 41 are misaligned in the lateral direction, and the micro switch 3 is arranged horizontally, which can better utilize the lateral space inside the upper cover 1 and reduce the relative height of the upper cover 1.
[0043] A trigger block 43 is provided between the trigger end of the micro switch 3 and the upper end of the first trigger member 41. The first trigger member 41 and the trigger block 43 are respectively provided with a first guide slope 412 and a second guide slope 431. The first guide slope 412 and the second guide slope 431 slide and cooperate with each other and are inclined from top to bottom toward the micro switch 3. When the first trigger member 41 moves upward, it can push the trigger block 43 toward the trigger end of the micro switch 3 through the cooperation of the first guide slope 412 and the second guide slope 431, so that the micro switch 3 is triggered and turned on. The trigger block 43 and the first trigger member 41 cooperate through the cooperation of the first guide slope 412 and the second guide slope 431, so that the first trigger member 41 can push the trigger block 43 to move laterally through the upward movement, thereby triggering and turning on the micro switch 3.
[0044] Furthermore, a fixing frame 44 is provided between the first trigger 41 and the micro switch 3. The fixing frame 44 is provided with a switch fixing part 441 for fixing the micro switch 3. The fixing frame 44 is also provided with a limiting groove 442 for limiting the position of the first trigger 41 and the trigger block 43. The fixing frame 44 can not only fix the micro switch 3, but also improve the stability when the first trigger 41 and the trigger block 43 move relative to each other.
[0045] Furthermore, the fixing frame 44 is also provided with a first limiting hole 443, and the first trigger member 41 is provided with a first guide post 413 corresponding to the first limiting hole 443. The first guide post 413 passes through the first limiting hole 443 vertically and is concentrically arranged with each other. The cooperation between the first limiting hole 443 and the first guide post 413 can further improve the stability of the first trigger member 41 in the up and down direction movement process and avoid accidental displacement that could cause the trigger component to fail.
[0046] Furthermore, the triggering component also includes a second trigger 42 disposed on the second cooking container 22. The second trigger 42 is provided with a trigger part 421, which is a columnar part extending upward. The upper cover 1 is connected and cooperates with the second cooking container 22 so that the trigger part 421 abuts against the trigger foot 411 and pushes the first trigger 41 to move upward, thereby triggering and turning on the micro switch 3. The second cooking container 22 can achieve the effect of triggering the micro switch 3 by cooperating with the second trigger 42 and the first trigger 41.
[0047] Furthermore, the upper side of the second cooking container 22 is provided with a mounting ring 222. The inner side of the mounting ring 222 is open to the upper position of the second cooking container 22, corresponding to the lower side of the upper cover 1. The trigger part 421 is arranged adjacent to the upper opening of the mounting ring 222. The mounting ring 222 allows the second cooking container 22 to be adapted to the upper cover 1.
[0048] A reset spring 45 is sleeved on the outside of the trigger part 421. When the second cooking container 22 is separated from the upper cover 1, the reset spring 45 can push the second trigger 42 to move downward to reset, reducing the chance that the second trigger 42 cannot reset properly.
[0049] Furthermore, the second trigger 42 is horizontally placed inside the mounting ring 222. The second trigger 42 is provided with a second limiting hole 422. The mounting ring 222 is provided with a second guide post 2221 corresponding to the second limiting hole 422. The second guide post 2221 passes through the second limiting hole 422 vertically and is concentrically arranged with each other, which can improve the stability of the second trigger 42 during the vertical movement process.
[0050] Furthermore, the second trigger 42 is provided with an external foot 423. The external foot 423 and the trigger part 421 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second limiting hole 422. The external foot 423 extends downward through the lower side of the mounting ring 222 and abuts against the second cooking container 22. The second cooking container 22 can further increase the thrust on the second trigger 42 through the external foot 423, reducing the probability of trigger component failure. Moreover, since the external foot 423 and the trigger part 421 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the second limiting hole 422, the lateral space position can be better utilized. Under the action of the second limiting hole 422 and the second guide post 2221, the lever effect between the external foot 423 and the trigger part 421 can be avoided, ensuring that the external foot 423 and the trigger part 421 can move synchronously in the up and down direction.
[0051] Furthermore, the mounting ring 222 and the top cover 1 are respectively provided with a movable latch 223 and a locking rib 11. When the second cooking container 22 is connected and engaged with the top cover 1, the movable latch 223 and the locking rib 11 engage with each other to fix the mounting ring 222 to the top cover 1. The movable latch 223 is provided with a pressing part 2231 for separating it from the locking rib 11 by pressing it with your hand, so that the second container assembly can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the top cover 1 through the mounting ring 222. The structure is simple and easy for users to operate.
[0052] 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.
