Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market. The functions of food processors mainly include, but are not limited to, making soy milk, juicing, rice paste, mincing meat, shaved ice, making coffee, and / or preparing face masks. Food processors can include soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders—machines that pulverize and mix food. Existing food processors are large and tall, taking up a lot of space and prone to vibration during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a food processor with a smaller overall height, occupying less space, and generating less vibration during use.

[0004] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base, comprising a base and a support extending upward from the base, wherein a power supply component and an electronic control component electrically connected to the power supply component are disposed within the support; and a blending cup assembly assembled on the base, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup, a heating plate, and a blade assembly, the heating plate and the blade assembly being disposed at the bottom of the blending cup. Since the electronic control component and the power supply component are both disposed within the support, the space within the support can be utilized to accommodate the electronic control component and the power supply component, avoiding the need to stack the electronic control component and the power supply component together within the base. This reduces the height of the base, thereby effectively reducing the height of the food processor, making the overall food processor more compact and aesthetically pleasing, occupying less space; furthermore, the lower overall height of the food processor reduces vibration generated during operation.

[0005] Furthermore, the support base is provided with a light-shielding plate that corresponds to the electronic control component and an operation panel covering the light-shielding plate. Thus, since the operation panel is located on the support base, the user can easily operate the operation panel.

[0006] Furthermore, the power supply component and the electronic control assembly are respectively fixed to the bracket to form a power supply and electronic control assembly, which is then assembled within the support base. This allows the power supply and electronic control assembly to be assembled as a single unit within the support base, making assembly more convenient.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first frame and a second frame connected to the first frame. The power supply component is fixed to the first frame, and the electronic control assembly is fixed to the second frame. This allows the power supply component and the electronic control assembly to be easily installed on the bracket, while maintaining a reasonable distance between them to reduce electromagnetic interference.

[0008] Furthermore, the power control component is installed into the support base from bottom to top, and the base includes an upward-facing anti-retraction portion that abuts against the power control component. This makes the assembly of the power control component simple and convenient, eliminating the need for fasteners and reducing assembly costs.

[0009] Furthermore, the power control component is secured to the support base using fasteners or clips. This allows for convenient and reliable securing of the power control component within the support base.

[0010] Furthermore, the food processor includes a motor assembly, which is disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup or inside the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the food processor includes a motor assembly disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup. The motor assembly includes a motor frame, a motor, a high-voltage upper coupler, and a low-voltage upper coupler. The motor, the high-voltage upper coupler, and the low-voltage upper coupler are respectively fixed to the motor frame, and the high-voltage upper coupler and the low-voltage upper coupler are arranged around the motor. The high-voltage upper coupler and the low-voltage upper coupler at least partially overlap with the motor in the height direction. The base is provided with a high-voltage lower coupler that docks with the high-voltage upper coupler and a low-voltage lower coupler that docks with the low-voltage upper coupler.

[0012] Thus, since the high-voltage and low-voltage upper couplers at least partially overlap in the height direction, the height of the blending cup assembly can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the overall height of the blender and making it more compact and space-saving. The lower overall height also reduces vibration during operation. Furthermore, the high-voltage lower coupler is located at the end of the base near the support, and since the user is typically positioned away from the support when operating the blender, this further distances the high-voltage coupler from the user, enhancing safety.

[0013] Furthermore, the mixing cup assembly includes a lid covering the mixing cup, the lid being equipped with a magnet, and the cover having a reed switch corresponding to the magnet. When the cover is on the mixing cup, the reed switch closes under the magnetic force of the magnet, allowing the electronic control component to open. When the cover is open, the reed switch disengages as it moves away from the magnet, preventing the electronic control component from opening. This prevents the electronic control component from opening when the cover is not fully closed, enhancing safety.

[0014] Furthermore, the mixing cup assembly includes a mixing cup, and the lid is directly placed on the mixing cup. This simplifies the structure of the mixing cup assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor 100 includes a base 10, a blending cup assembly 20, and a lid 30.

[0020] The base 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12 extending upward from the base 11. The support 12 and the base 11 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then assembled together. The support 12 houses a power supply component 13 and an electronic control assembly 31 electrically connected to the power supply component 13. The base 11 includes a base housing 115 and a bottom cover 116 that mates with the base housing 115. The power supply component 13 can be a wired or wireless power source, such as a power board or a storage battery, and is not limited thereto.

[0021] A mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled onto the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, a heating plate 22, and a blade assembly 23. The heating plate 22 and the blade assembly 23 are disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate 22 is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is used to mix and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21. A lid 30 is assembled onto the support base 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0022] Since both the electronic control component 31 and the power supply component 13 are housed within the support base 12, the space within the support base 12 can be used to accommodate both components, avoiding the need to stack them together within the base 11. This reduces the height of the base 11, thereby effectively lowering the overall height of the blender 100, making it more compact and space-efficient. Furthermore, the lower overall height of the blender 100 reduces vibration during operation. The base 11, support base 12, and lid 30 partially enclose the blending cup assembly 20, partially isolating noise generated during operation and reducing overall noise levels. Additionally, the power supply component 13 being housed within the support base 12 results in shorter high-voltage power leads, simplifying assembly and reducing electromagnetic interference.

[0023] The support base 12 includes a light-shielding plate 128 that corresponds to and cooperates with the electronic control component 31, and an operation panel (not shown) covering the light-shielding plate 128. Thus, since the operation panel is located on the support base 12, the user can easily operate the operation panel. In the illustrated embodiment, the support base 12 includes a base body 127, and the light-shielding plate 128 is integrally formed with the base body 127. In another embodiment, the support base 12 includes a base body 127, and the light-shielding plate 128 and the base body 127 are two independent components. The light-shielding plate 128 is fixed to the base body 127 by means of threaded parts, snaps, adhesives, etc.

[0024] The power supply component 13 and the electronic control component 31 are respectively fixed to the bracket 14 to form a power control component 18, which is assembled inside the support base 12. This assembly of the power control component 18 as a whole within the support base 12 makes assembly more convenient.

[0025] The bracket 14 includes a first frame 141 and a second frame 142 connected to the first frame 141. The power supply component 13 is fixed to the first frame 141, and the electronic control component 31 is fixed to the second frame 142. This allows the power supply component 13 and the electronic control component 31 to be conveniently installed on the bracket 14, while maintaining a reasonable distance between them to reduce electromagnetic interference.

[0026] In one embodiment, the power control assembly 18 is installed into the support base 12 from bottom to top, and the base 11 includes an anti-retraction portion 111 that abuts against the power control assembly 18. This makes the assembly of the power control assembly 18 simple and convenient, eliminating the need for fasteners and reducing assembly costs.

[0027] In another embodiment, the power control component 18 is secured to the support base 12 by fasteners or clips. This allows for convenient and reliable securing of the power control component 18 within the support base 12.

[0028] The food processor includes a motor assembly 40, which is disposed at the bottom of the blending cup 21 or within the base 11. In the illustrated embodiment, the motor assembly 40 is disposed at the bottom of the blending cup 21, and includes a motor frame 41 and a motor 42, with the output shaft of the motor 42 directly connected to the blade assembly 23. In another embodiment, the motor assembly 40 is disposed within the base 11, and the output shaft of the motor 42 is connected to the blade assembly 23 via a clutch structure.

[0029] The food processor 100 includes a motor assembly 40 disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The motor assembly 40 includes a motor frame 41, a motor 42, a high-voltage upper coupler 481, and a low-voltage upper coupler 482. The motor 42, the high-voltage upper coupler 481, and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 are respectively fixed to the motor frame 41, and the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 are arranged around the motor 42. The high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 at least partially overlap with the motor 42 in the height direction. The base 11 is provided with a high-voltage lower coupler 112 that docks with the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and a low-voltage lower coupler 113 that docks with the low-voltage upper coupler 482. Since both the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 are smaller than conventional upper couplers, there is sufficient space between the side wall of the motor frame 41 and the motor 42 to accommodate the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482. This allows the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and the low-voltage upper coupler 482 to be positioned around the motor 42, ensuring that they at least partially overlap with the motor 42 in the height direction. This effectively reduces the height of the mixing cup assembly 20, thereby reducing the overall height of the food processor 100, making it more compact and aesthetically pleasing, and occupying less space. Furthermore, the lower overall height of the food processor 100 reduces vibrations generated during operation.

[0030] The food processor also includes a lid 30, which is assembled to the support base 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0031] In one embodiment, the cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12. The cover 30 can be rotatably assembled to the support base 12 via a pivot or hinge.

[0032] In another embodiment, the cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12 in a horizontal direction. In yet another embodiment, the cover 30 is detachably assembled to the support base 12. In still another embodiment, the cover 30 is fixed to the support base 12.

[0033] The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a lid 25 covering the mixing cup 21. The lid 25 is equipped with a magnet 259, and the machine cover 30 is equipped with a reed switch 39 corresponding to the magnet 259. When the machine cover 30 is placed on the mixing cup 21, the reed switch 39 closes under the magnetic force of the magnet 259, allowing the electronic control component 31 to open. When the machine cover 30 is opened, the reed switch 39 disengages due to being away from the magnet 259, preventing the electronic control component 31 from opening. This prevents the electronic control component 31 from opening when the machine cover 30 is not properly closed, making it safer to use. The lid 25, positioned below the machine cover 30, also provides heat insulation, preventing the machine cover 30 from overheating and thus protecting the electronic control component 31.

[0034] The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, and the lid 30 is directly placed on the mixing cup 21. Thus, the structure of the mixing cup assembly 20 is simpler.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any 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.
