The lid assembly 50 has a venting channel 501 to connect the space inside the mixing cup 21 with the external space, and the outlet of the venting channel 501 is arranged upward. Steam generated when the food inside the mixing cup 21 is heated is discharged through the venting channel 501, realizing the venting function.

[0051] In the first embodiment, the cover assembly 50 includes a machine cover 30 and a cup cover 25. The cup cover 25 is detachably mounted on the mixing cup 21. The machine cover 30 is rotatably connected to the support base 12 and is mounted on top of the cup cover 25. A cover housing 37, a panel 36, and a plate sealing ring 371 are disposed on the machine cover 30. An assembly part 502 is disposed on the cup cover 25.

[0052] The machine cover 30 and the cup cover 25 are separately arranged, which is convenient for processing and forming; the cup cover 25 can be removed and cleaned separately, which is not only convenient for cleaning but also can be cleaned more thoroughly; after the food is made, when the mixing cup 21 is removed from the base 11, the cup cover 25 still blocks the food, which can prevent the food from spilling and also prevent scalding caused by the heat of the food; the cup cover 25 can also block dust, which is more user-friendly.

[0053] In the first embodiment, the machine cover 30 is assembled to the support base 12 in a rotatable manner in the up-and-down direction. In another embodiment, the machine cover 30 is assembled to the support base 12 in a rotatable manner in the horizontal direction.

[0054] Refer Figures 3 to 7 , the mixing cup assembly 20 includes a heating plate 22 and a knife assembly 23 provided at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used for placing food, the heating plate 22 is used for heating the food in the mixing cup 21, and the knife assembly 23 is used for whipping and crushing the food in the mixing cup 21.

The cross-section of the cup body 219 can be set to be approximately square, so that the mixing cup 21 can be made shorter and still have the same volume. Turbulence ribs 214 are provided at the four corners of the mixing cup 21, or the turbulence ribs 214 can be not provided. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the cup body 219 can also be set to be circular or other shapes.

[0056] In one embodiment, the knife assembly 23 is detachably provided at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The motor 40 is provided at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The output shaft 41 of the motor 40 passes through the heating plate 22, and a shaft portion 48 is provided at the top of the output shaft 41. The knife assembly 23 is detachably assembled to the shaft portion 48. Specifically, the shaft portion 48 is provided with a plurality of convex ribs 480 extending longitudinally, and the convex ribs 480 are deflected in the circumferential direction of the shaft portion 48. The knife assembly 23 includes a knife holder 231 sleeved on the shaft portion 48 and a blade 232 fixed to the knife holder 231. The knife holder 231 is provided with convex corners (not marked) matching the convex ribs 480. After the food processor 100 is used, the knife assembly 23 can be disassembled for cleaning. In another embodiment, the knife assembly 23 can be fixedly provided at the bottom of the mixing cup 21.

[0057] The motor 40 is fixed to the motor frame 49. The bottom end of the stirring cup 21 has a flange 211 extending radially inward. The heating plate 22 presses downward against the flange 211, and the motor frame 49 presses upward against the flange 211. The motor frame 49 is locked to the heating plate 22, and a seal is formed between the heating plate 22 and the flange 211 by a disc sealing ring 221. During assembly, the disc sealing ring 221 is first fitted onto the edge of the heating plate 22. Then, the heating plate 22 is inserted into the mouth of the stirring cup 21 and pressed onto the flange 211 by the disc sealing ring 221. Then, the motor frame 49, which is equipped with a cup sealing ring 490, is fastened to the bottom end of the stirring cup 21 from bottom to top, and the motor frame 49 is locked to the heating plate 22 by fasteners. This fixes the heating plate 22, the stirring cup 21, and the motor frame 49 together, making assembly convenient and reliable. In addition, the motor frame 49 has two through slots 499, and the fuse 498 and the thermostat 497 are placed in the two through slots 499 respectively. The fuse 498 and the thermostat 497 are pressed against the heating plate 22 by the pressure plate 496. The pressure plate 496 is fixed to the motor frame 49 by fasteners, and then the motor 40 is fixed to the motor frame 49.

[0058] The motor frame 49 is equipped with a high-voltage upper coupler 481 and a low-voltage upper coupler 482. The motor 40 includes a motor body 44 and multiple mounting feet 45 disposed on the outside of the motor body 44. The motor 40 is mounted to the motor frame 49 via the mounting feet 45. The high-voltage upper coupler 481 is located between two adjacent mounting feet 45, and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 is located between another two adjacent mounting feet 45. That is, the coupler is split into independent high-voltage upper couplers 481 and low-voltage upper couplers 482, so that the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and low-voltage upper coupler 482 are small enough to be accommodated between two adjacent mounting feet 45, thereby further reducing the height of the food processor 100. Preferably, the height difference between the bottom end of the motor 40 and the bottom end of the high-voltage upper coupler 481 or the bottom end of the low-voltage upper coupler 482 does not exceed 10 mm. After fixing the motor 40, the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 to the motor frame 49, the cup bottom cover 488 is finally installed, with the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 passing through the holes provided in the cup bottom cover 488.

[0059] The base 11 has a downward-facing recessed groove 111. A high-voltage lower coupler 112 and a low-voltage lower coupler 113 are disposed within the groove 111. The high-voltage lower coupler 112 is connected to the high-voltage upper coupler 481, and the low-voltage lower coupler 113 is connected to the low-voltage upper coupler 482. By placing the high-voltage lower coupler 112 and the low-voltage lower coupler 113 within the groove 111, the height of the base 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the height of the food processor 100.

[0060] In one embodiment, two bosses 118 are provided in the groove 111, and the high-voltage lower coupler 112 and the low-voltage lower coupler 113 are respectively arranged on the two bosses 118, so as to achieve the purpose of waterproofing.

[0061] In one embodiment, the size of the high-voltage lower coupler 112 is larger than that of the low-voltage lower coupler 113. Correspondingly, the size of the high-voltage upper coupler 481 is larger than that of the low-voltage upper coupler 482, so as to achieve the anti-misoperation effect. In another embodiment, the size of the high-voltage lower coupler 112 is smaller than that of the low-voltage lower coupler 113. Correspondingly, the size of the high-voltage upper coupler 481 is smaller than that of the low-voltage upper coupler 482, and the anti-misoperation effect can also be achieved.

[0062] Refer to Figure 7 , a power supply component 13 is provided in the support base 12, a control component 31 electrically connected to the power supply component 13 is provided in the machine cover 30, the motor 40 is arranged in the base 11 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, the motor 40 includes an output shaft 41, and the cutter component 23 is arranged at the top end of the output shaft 41. In one embodiment, the motor 40 adopts a brushless motor without a rear end cover, so that the motor 40 has a lower height, which is beneficial to reducing the overall height of the food processor 100. In other embodiments, the motor 40 can also adopt a conventional brushed motor or a brushless motor.

[0063] In one embodiment, the power supply component 13 includes a power supply component, a storage battery, etc.

[0064] Since the power supply component 13 is arranged in the support base 12 and the control component 31 is arranged in the machine cover 30, it is avoided to stack the power supply component 13, the control component 31 and the motor 40 together. By reasonably arranging the positions of the three, the height of the food processor 100 can be effectively reduced, so that the overall height of the food processor 100 is not greater than 280 mm, which is more compact and delicate. Thus, the vibration generated during the operation of the food processor 100 can be reduced, and the occupied space is smaller.

[0065] In another embodiment, both the power supply component 13 and the control component 31 are arranged in the cover component 50, and the motor 40 is arranged in the base 11 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, and the height of the food processor 100 can also be reduced. In yet another embodiment, both the power supply component 13 and the control component 31 are arranged in the machine cover 30, and the motor 40 is arranged in the cup cover 25. In yet another embodiment, the power supply component 13 is arranged in the support base 12, the control component 31 is arranged in the machine cover 30, and the motor 40 is arranged in the cup cover 25.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 7The cup lid 25 is equipped with a magnet 259, and the machine lid 30 is equipped with a reed switch 39 corresponding to the magnet 259. When the machine lid 30 is placed on the mixing cup 21, the reed switch 39 closes under the magnetic force of the magnet 259, allowing the control component 31 to open. When the machine lid 30 is opened, the reed switch 39 disengages because it is away from the magnet 259, preventing the control component 31 from opening. This prevents the control component 31 from opening when the machine lid 30 is not fully closed, making it safer to use. The cup lid 25, positioned below the machine lid 30, provides heat insulation, preventing the machine lid 30 from overheating and thus protecting the control component 31. In the illustrated embodiment, the cup lid 25 has a recess 255 for easy gripping by the user.

[0067] Please see Figures 8 to 13 The lid assembly 50 includes a lid housing 37, a panel 36, and a panel sealing ring 371. The lid housing 37 includes a surrounding rib 370. The exhaust channel 501 includes a first hole 3701 formed by the surrounding rib 370 and a second hole 360 ​​penetrating the panel 36. Thus, the structure is simple and easy to assemble, and the cost of the food processor 100 is also low. The top of the lid housing 37 is provided with a limiting rib 375 surrounding the panel 36, which limits the panel 36.

[0068] A plate sealing ring 371 is located between the surrounding rib 370 and the panel 36 to seal the gap between them. By providing the plate sealing ring 371, steam is prevented from entering the space containing the control assembly 31 through the gap between the surrounding rib 370 and the panel 36.

[0069] The lid assembly 50 includes an assembly part 502, at least a portion of which is assembled into the stirring cup 21. The assembly part 502 is provided with a sealing ring 503 to fit and seal against the inner wall of the stirring cup 21, thereby sealing the mouth of the stirring cup 21.

The sealing part 3713 fits and seals against the panel 36.

[0071] In one embodiment, the thickness of the sealing portion 3713 is less than the width of the top 3712 to increase the fit between the sealing portion 3713 and the panel 36, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0072] The diameter of the third hole 37120 is larger than that of the second hole 360 ​​to prevent the sealing ring 371 from being exposed, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The panel 36 can be made of glass, PC, IMD, or PVC, among other materials.

[0073] The cover assembly 50 includes a control component box 35, a control component 31 is disposed inside the cover housing 37, the control component box 35 covers the control component 31, and the panel 36 is fixed on the control component box 35.

[0074] In one embodiment, the exhaust channel 501 includes a fourth hole 258 disposed on the cup lid 25, the fourth hole 258 connecting the space inside the stirring cup 21 with the first hole 3701.

[0075] The cup lid 25 includes a lower cover 252 and a vent sealing ring 253. The lower cover 252 includes a protrusion 2521, which forms a fourth hole 258. The vent sealing ring 253 seals the gap between the protrusion 2521 and the surrounding rib 370, preventing steam from leaking from the gap between the protrusion 2521 and the surrounding rib 370; the protrusion 2521 facilitates the assembly of the vent sealing ring 253.

[0076] The bottom end of the exhaust sealing ring 253 is fitted and sealed with the protrusion 2521, and the top end of the exhaust sealing ring 253 extends into the first hole 3701 and is fitted and sealed with the surrounding rib 370 to increase the sealing effect. The exhaust sealing ring 253 forms a fifth hole 2531, which connects the fourth hole 258 and the first hole 3701.

[0077] Combination Figure 2 The bottom end of the reinforcing rib 370 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 3702 to guide the top end of the exhaust sealing ring 253 to be smoothly inserted into the first hole 3701, which not only makes it easier to close the top cover 30, but also ensures the sealing effect.

[0078] The cup lid 25 includes an upper lid 251, which is fixed to a lower lid 252. The vent sealing ring 253 is clamped and limited by the upper lid 251 and the lower lid 252. The upper lid 251 is provided with a through hole 25110 for the top end of the vent sealing ring 253 to pass through, so as to increase the stability of the vent sealing ring 253 and improve the sealing effect. The vent sealing ring 253 protrudes from the upper lid 251, making it easy to insert into the first hole 3701.

[0079] The exhaust sealing ring 253 includes a base 2532 and a limiting portion 2533 located below the base 2532. A fifth hole 2531 is provided in the base 2532. The limiting portion 2533 is provided with a limiting hole 25331. A protrusion 2521 is located within the limiting hole 25331 to increase the stability of the exhaust sealing ring 253 and improve the sealing effect.

[0080] In one embodiment, the diameter of the limiting hole 25331 is larger than the diameter of the fifth hole 2531.

[0081] In one embodiment, the top cover 251 includes a base plate portion 2511 and a protrusion 2512 extending from the base plate portion 2511. A through hole 25110 is provided in the base plate portion 2511, and a limiting portion 2533 is located within the space enclosed by the protrusion 2512 to increase the stability of the exhaust sealing ring 253 and improve the sealing effect.

[0082] Steam is discharged sequentially through the fourth hole 258, the fifth hole 2531, the first hole 3701, the third hole 37120, and the second hole 360.

[0083] Please see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the top of the support base 12 via a pivot 341. Thus, the cover 30 can rotate relative to the support base 12 by providing the pivot 341. In one embodiment, the pivot 341 is disposed on the cover 30, and the support base 12 has a corresponding shaft hole that mates with the pivot 341. In another embodiment, the pivot 341 is disposed on the support base 12, and the cover 30 has a corresponding shaft hole that mates with the pivot 341.

[0084] The cover 30 includes a cover housing 37, a rotating shaft 341 fixed to the cover housing 37, and a corresponding sliding sleeve 342 provided on the support base 12. The sliding sleeve 342 has a shaft hole 343 that mates with the rotating shaft 341. In this way, the rotation of the rotating shaft 341 is prevented from causing wear to the support base 12, and the rotation is smoother.

[0085] The cover 30 includes a pin 344 and an elastic element 345 disposed on the cover housing 37. A corresponding slide rail 120 is provided on the support base 12. The elastic element 345 applies an elastic force to the pin 344 in the direction of the slide rail 120, causing the pin 344 to press against the slide rail 120. The elastic force applied to the pin 344 by the elastic element 345 causes the pin 344 to press against the slide rail 120. The force exerted by the pin 344 on the slide rail allows the cover 30 to remain at a certain angle after opening. The slide rail 120 has an arc surface, and during the opening or closing of the cover 30, the pin 344 slides back and forth along the arc surface of the slide rail 120. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotating shaft 341 is fixed to the cover housing 37 by a pressure plate 348. Specifically, fasteners pass through the pressure plate 348 and the rotating shaft 341 and are locked to the cover housing 37. An elastic element 345 and a pin 344 are located between the pressure plate 348 and the slide rail 120. One end of the elastic element 345 presses against the pressure plate 348, and the other end presses against the pin 344. The pin 344 is made of a wear-resistant material, such as metal. The elastic element 345 is made of a spring, an elastic rubber ring, a metal spring, etc.

[0086] The slide rail 120 is provided with at least one limiting groove 1201 that mates with the shaft pin 344. By the cooperation of the shaft pin 344 and the limiting groove 1201, the machine cover 30 can be more reliably held at a certain angle. The limiting groove 1201 can be provided with 1, 2 or more. For example, if it is necessary to open the machine cover 30 at angles of 60 degrees or 90 degrees, the limiting groove 1201 is provided at the corresponding position of the slide rail 120. Of course, the above are only some examples and are not limited to the above examples.

[0087] Reference Figure 7 and Figures 16 to 17 , a power board box 121 is provided inside the support base 12, the power supply component 13 is arranged inside the power board box 121, the support base 12 is provided with a wire hole 122 for the lead wire to pass through and an isolation rib 123 located on one side of the wire hole 122. The isolation rib 123 extends to the upper end of the power board box 121, and the power board box 121 is provided with a guiding surface 1211 that docks with the isolation rib 123. When water enters the support base 12 from the wire hole 122, it sequentially passes through the isolation rib 123 and the guiding surface 1211 and then falls, avoiding contact between the water and the power supply component 13.

[0088] The middle position of the guiding surface 1211 is high and the two side positions are low, so that the water entering the support base 12 flows to both sides after falling on the guiding surface 1211 and falls from both sides. The machine base 10 includes a bottom cover 19 arranged at the bottom, and the bottom cover 19 is provided with a drain hole 191. The water falling from the guiding surface 1211 finally drains out from the drain hole 191. The power board box 121 includes a retaining rib 1214 that presses downward against the bottom cover 19, and a wire clamping groove 1215 is formed between the two retaining ribs 1214.

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the motor 40 is arranged inside the base 11, and other features are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be described herein again.

[0090] Figure 19 and Figure 20The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a third embodiment of the food processor 100 of this application. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the support base 12 has a cylindrical first rotating ring 1231, and the lid 30 has a second rotating ring 1232 that mates with the first rotating ring 1231. The first rotating ring 1231 extends into the second rotating ring 1232. The first rotating ring 1231 has a notch 1233, and the inner side of the second rotating ring 1232 has a protrusion 1234 located within the notch 1233. When the lid 30 rotates relative to the support base 12, the protrusion 1234 rotates along the notch 1233, thus enabling the lid 30 to rotate horizontally. In another embodiment, the second rotating ring 1232 extends into the first rotating ring 1231, the second rotating ring 1232 has a notch, and the inner side of the first rotating ring 1231 has a protrusion located within the notch. This also enables the lid 30 to rotate horizontally. These are just some examples and are not limited to the above examples. Other features are the same as in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
