[0003] In related technologies, a food processor typically includes a blending cup, a lid, and a base. During use, the lid has a closed state covering the blending cup and an open state that is not closed. The way the lid and base are assembled directly affects the space occupied and ease of operation of the food processor. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a food processor that optimizes the overall size of the food processor and improves ease of operation.

[0005] According to an embodiment of this application, a food processor is provided, the food processor including a base, a lid and a blending cup assembly;

[0006] The base is equipped with a first electronic component assembly;

[0007] The stirring cup assembly is assembled on the base;

[0008] The lid is rotatably connected to the base in the horizontal direction, and the lid includes a closed state covering the blending cup assembly and an open state away from the closed state. A second electronic component is housed within the lid, and the first and second electronic components are electrically connected in the closed state. The horizontal rotatable connection between the lid and the base reduces the space occupied in the height direction of the blender when switching between the closed and open states, helping to optimize the overall size of the blender and improve operational convenience.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a base and a support; the support extends upward from the base, and the first electronic component assembly is disposed within the support; the lid is rotatably connected to the support in the horizontal direction. The position and assembly relationship of the base, support, and lid optimize the structural layout of the food processor, helping to further optimize the overall size of the food processor and improve operational convenience.

[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the support base is provided with a rotating shaft extending along the height direction of the support base, and the bottom surface of the cover is provided with a rotating shaft mating hole; the rotating shaft is inserted into the rotating shaft mating hole so that the cover and the support base are rotatably connected in the horizontal direction. The mating of the rotating shaft on the top surface of the support base with the rotating shaft mating hole of the cover simplifies the rotatable connection structure and improves the structural reliability.

[0011] Furthermore, the support base is provided with a receiving cavity, the first electronic component assembly is assembled in the receiving cavity, and the rotating shaft is provided with a through hole connecting the rotating shaft mating hole and the receiving cavity;

[0012] The base also includes electrical connection wiring, one end of which is electrically connected to the first electronic component assembly, and the other end is electrically connected to the second electronic component assembly via the rotating shaft mating hole and the through hole. The wiring of the electrical connection wiring is achieved through the through hole located at the rotating shaft, simplifying the support structure and avoiding interference between the rotation of the cover and the electrical connection wiring.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating shaft includes a stepped shaft, and the rotating shaft mating hole includes a stepped hole; the first connecting end face between two adjacent stepped structures of the stepped shaft and the second connecting end face between two adjacent stepped structures of the stepped hole abut and limit each other. The axial limiting between the stepped shaft and the stepped hole defines the relative axial position of the cover and the support, which helps improve the reliability of the rotational connection between the cover and the support and avoids structural interference.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is provided with a first coupling structure that is electrically connected to the first electronic component assembly; the stirring cup assembly includes a stirring cup and an electrical component, and the bottom of the stirring cup is provided with a second coupling structure that is electrically connected to the electrical component;

[0015] The first coupling structure and the second coupling structure are detachably connected to conduct electricity when the blending cup assembly is assembled on the base and to disconnect electricity when the blending cup assembly is separated from the base. This detachable connection between the first and second coupling structures enables the electrical components of the blending cup assembly to conduct electricity with the first electronic component during use, helping to optimize the circuit layout of the food processor and avoid excessive space occupation caused by the circuit layout.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with at least two first coupling structures, and the stirring cup is provided with a second coupling structure corresponding to each of the first coupling structures. When the stirring cup assembly is assembled on the base, the first coupling structures and the second coupling structures are connected in a one-to-one manner. The cooperation of at least two first coupling structures and corresponding second coupling structures can avoid assembly position deviations of the stirring cup and improve the reliability of the conductive connection.

[0017] Furthermore, one of the first coupling structure and the second coupling structure includes a snap-fit ​​groove and a coupling component, and the other includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a coupling component;

[0018] The coupling components are respectively disposed in the snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​protrusion. When the snap-fit ​​protrusion is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove, the coupling component located on the snap-fit ​​protrusion is connected to the coupling component located in the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​groove and snap-fit ​​protrusion in the first and second coupling structures achieve snap-fit ​​limiting of the mixing cup during assembly with the base, which helps improve the stability of the mixing cup during use and enhances the handling feel when placing and removing the mixing cup.

[0019] Furthermore, the second electronic component assembly includes a closure detection component; the stirring cup assembly includes a stirring cup and a lid assembled to the stirring cup, the lid being equipped with a magnet; when the lid is in a closed state, the closure detection component is conductive within the magnetic field range of the magnet, and when the lid is in an open state, the closure detection component is disconnected outside the magnetic field range of the magnet. The closure detection component enables closure detection of the lid, preventing safety hazards caused by the lid operating in an open state.

[0020] Furthermore, the closure detection component includes at least one of a reed switch and a Hall effect sensor. The reed switch or Hall effect sensor can be selected according to the structure of the food processor and the closure detection requirements to improve the flexibility and accuracy of closure detection.

[0021] Furthermore, the first electronic component assembly includes a power board, and the second electronic component includes a control board. Positioning the power board within the support base and the control board within the cover helps optimize the control circuitry and layout of the food processor, thus enabling miniaturization of the food processor.

[0022] Furthermore, the cover includes a cover body, a panel support, and a panel decorative ring, which together form an assembly space in which the second electronic component is installed.

[0041] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many different types of food processors have appeared on the market. Food processors can include machines that crush and blend food, such as soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders. In related technologies, food processors typically include a blending cup, a lid, and a base. The lid has two states during use: a closed state covering the blending cup and an open state that is not closed. The assembly method of the lid and the base directly affects the space occupied and ease of operation of the food processor.

[0042] This application provides a food processor. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional exploded view of a food processor according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 2This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a food processor with its lid in an open state, according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a hood according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a food processor according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional exploded view of a food processor according to another exemplary embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figures 1-5 As shown, the food processor 100 includes a base 10, a lid 30, and a blending cup assembly 20. A first electronic component assembly is housed within the base 10, and the blending cup assembly 20 is assembled to the base 10. The lid 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 in the horizontal direction, and the lid 30 includes a closed state covering the blending cup assembly 20 and an open state deviating from the closed state. A second electronic component assembly is housed within the lid 30, and the first and second electronic component assemblies are electrically connected in the closed state.

[0043] The aforementioned cover 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 in the horizontal direction, so as to reduce the space occupied in the height direction of the food processor 100 when switching between the closed and open states, which helps to optimize the overall size of the food processor 100 and improve the ease of operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12, the support 12 extending upward from the base 11, and a first electronic component assembly disposed within the support 12. The cover 30 is rotatably connected to the support 12 in the horizontal direction. The position and assembly relationship of the base 11, support 12, and cover 30 optimize the structural layout of the food processor 100, helping to further optimize the overall size of the food processor 100 and improve operational convenience.

[0045] The aforementioned 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 they can be formed separately and then assembled together.

[0046] The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled onto the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, a heating plate 22 disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, and a blade assembly 23. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food, the heating plate 22 is used to heat the food in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is used to blend and pulverize the food in the mixing cup 21. The lid 30 is assembled onto the support base 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20. The base 10 of the food processor 100 and the lid 30 form a frame-shaped space to accommodate the mixing cup assembly 20, reducing the overall space occupied by the food processor 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, the top surface of the support base 12 may be provided with a rotating shaft 124 extending along the height direction of the support base 12, and the bottom surface of the cover 30 is provided with a rotating shaft mating hole 340. The rotating shaft 124 is inserted into the rotating shaft mating hole 340 so that the cover 30 and the support base 12 are rotatably connected in the horizontal direction. The rotating shaft 124 on the top surface of the support base 12 and the rotating shaft mating hole 340 of the cover 30 mate, simplifying the rotational connection structure and improving structural reliability.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the support base 12 may have a receiving cavity 125, in which the first electronic component assembly is assembled. The rotating shaft 124 has a through hole 1241 connecting the rotating shaft mating hole 340 and the receiving cavity 125. The base 10 also includes an electrical connection wiring, one end of which is electrically connected to the first electronic component assembly, and the other end is electrically connected to the second electronic component assembly via the rotating shaft mating hole 340 and the through hole 1241. The wiring of the electrical connection wiring is realized by the through hole 1241 provided at the rotating shaft 124, which simplifies the structure of the support base 12 and avoids interference between the rotation of the cover 30 and the electrical connection wiring.

[0049] The rotating shaft 124 includes a stepped shaft, and the rotating shaft mating hole 340 includes a stepped hole. The first connecting end face between two adjacent stepped structures of the stepped shaft and the second connecting end face between two adjacent stepped structures of the stepped hole abut and limit the movement. By limiting the movement of the stepped shaft and the stepped hole in the axial direction, the relative position of the cover 30 and the support base 12 in the axial direction is defined, which helps to improve the reliability of the rotational connection between the cover 30 and the support base 12 and avoid structural interference.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a power board box 121 may be provided inside the support base 12, and the power board 13 is disposed inside the power board box 121. The support base 12 has 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 has a guide surface 1211 that mates with the isolation rib 123. When water from the rotating shaft 341 enters the support base 12 through the wire hole 122, it falls through the isolation rib 123 and the guide surface 1211 in sequence, preventing the water from contacting the power board 13. The guide surface 1211 is higher in the middle and lower on both sides, so that the water entering the support base 12 flows to both sides after falling onto the guide surface 1211 and falls down from both sides. The base 10 includes a bottom cover 19 disposed at the bottom, the bottom cover 19 having a drain hole 191, through which water falling from the guide surface 1211 is finally discharged. The power board box 121 includes a retaining rib 1214 pressing downward against the bottom cover 19, and a wire retaining groove 1215 is formed between the two retaining ribs 1214.

[0051] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the support base 12 has a cylindrical first rotating ring 1231, and the cover 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 cover 30 rotates relative to the support base 12, the protrusion 1234 rotates along the notch, thus enabling the cover 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 cover 30 to rotate horizontally. These are just some examples and are not limited to the above examples.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the lid 30 is rotatably mounted on the support base 12, and the stirring cup assembly 20 includes a lid 25 covering the stirring cup 21, with the lid 25 and the lid 30 forming an integral structure. This simplifies the structure of the stirring cup assembly 20. Alternatively, the lid 25 and the lid 30 can be separate components to facilitate assembly, sealing, and cleaning of the lid 25 and the stirring cup 21.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the base 11 may be provided with a first coupling structure 114 electrically connected to the first electronic component assembly. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21 and an electrical component. The bottom of the mixing cup 21 is provided with a second coupling structure 26 electrically connected to the electrical component. The first coupling structure 114 and the second coupling structure 26 are detachably connected to conduct electricity when the mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled on the base 11 and to disconnect electricity when the mixing cup assembly 20 is separated from the base 11. The detachable connection between the first coupling structure 114 and the second coupling structure 26 enables the electrical component of the mixing cup assembly 20 to conduct electricity with the first electronic component assembly during use, which helps to optimize the circuit layout of the food processor 100 and avoid excessive space occupation caused by the circuit layout.

[0054] It should be noted that the aforementioned electrical components may include motor 40, heating plate, etc., and this application does not limit them.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the base 11 is provided with at least two first coupling structures 114, and the stirring cup 21 is provided with second coupling structures 26 corresponding to the first coupling structures 114. When the stirring cup assembly 20 is assembled on the base 11, the first coupling structures 114 and the second coupling structures 26 are connected in a one-to-one manner. The cooperation between at least two first coupling structures 114 and the corresponding second coupling structures 26 can avoid assembly position deviation of the stirring cup 21 and improve the reliability of the conductive connection.

[0056] One of the first coupling structure 114 and the second coupling structure 26 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 261 and a coupling component 50, while the other includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1141 and a coupling component 50. The coupling components 50 are respectively disposed in the snap-fit ​​groove 261 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1141. When the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1141 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 261, the coupling component 50 located on the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1141 is in communication with the coupling component 50 located in the snap-fit ​​groove 261. The snap-fit ​​groove 261 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1141 in the first coupling structure 114 and the second coupling structure 26 achieve snap-fit ​​limiting of the mixing cup 21 during assembly with the base 11, which helps improve the stability of the mixing cup 21 during use and enhances the handling feel during the picking up and placing of the mixing cup 21.

[0057] In other embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, 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, equipped with the 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, thereby fixing the heating plate 22, the stirring cup 21, and the motor frame 49 together. The assembly is 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, making the high-voltage upper coupler 481 and low-voltage upper coupler 482 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 downwardly 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] Furthermore, two bosses 118 are provided in the groove 111, and the high-voltage coupler 112 and the low-voltage coupler 113 are respectively placed on the two bosses 118, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproofing.

[0061] In one embodiment, the size of the high-voltage lower coupler 112 is larger than the size of the low-voltage lower coupler 113, and correspondingly, the size of the high-voltage upper coupler 481 is larger than the size of the low-voltage upper coupler 482, thus achieving a foolproof effect. In another embodiment, the size of the high-voltage lower coupler 112 is smaller than the size of the low-voltage lower coupler 113, and correspondingly, the size of the high-voltage upper coupler 481 is smaller than the size of the low-voltage upper coupler 482, also achieving a foolproof effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the second electronic component assembly includes a closure detection component. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21 and a lid 25 assembled to the mixing cup 21. The lid 25 is equipped with a magnet. When the lid 30 is in the closed state, the closure detection component is conductive within the magnetic field range of the magnet; when the lid 30 is in the open state, the closure detection component is disconnected outside the magnetic field range of the magnet. The closure detection component enables closure detection of the lid 30, preventing safety hazards caused by the lid 30 operating in the open state.

[0063] The closure detection component 33 includes at least one of a reed switch and a Hall effect device. The reed switch or Hall effect device can be selected according to the structure of the food processor 100 and the closure detection requirements to improve the flexibility and accuracy of closure detection.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the first electronic component assembly includes a power board 13, and the second electronic component includes a control board 31. Placing the power board 13 within the support base 12 and the control board 31 within the cover 30 helps optimize the control circuitry and layout of the food processor 100, thereby achieving miniaturization of the food processor 100.

[0065] The support base 12 houses a power board 13, and the cover 30 houses a control board 31 electrically connected to the power board 13. A motor 40 is located within the base 11 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The motor 40 includes an output shaft 41, and the blade assembly 23 is located at the top of the output shaft 41. In one embodiment, the motor 40 is a brushless motor without a rear end cover, resulting in a lower overall height for the motor 40, which helps reduce the overall height of the food processor 100. In other embodiments, the motor 40 can also be a conventional brushed motor or a brushless motor.

[0066] Since the power board 13 is located inside the support base 12 and the control board 31 is located inside the cover 30, the power board 13, control board 31 and motor 40 are not stacked 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 no more than 280 mm, making it more compact. This reduces the vibration generated by the food processor 100 during operation and occupies less space.

[0067] In other embodiments, the second electronic component assembly may include a power board 13 and a control board 31, both of which are disposed within the cover 30. Alternatively, the first electronic component assembly may include a power board 13 and a control board 31, both of which are disposed within the support base 12. Alternatively, the first electronic component assembly includes a control board 31, the second electronic component assembly includes a power board 13, the support base 12 houses the control board 31, and the cover 30 houses the power board 13 electrically connected to the control board 31.

[0068] In some embodiments, the motor 40 is disposed within the base 11 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 21, which can also reduce the height of the food processor 100. Alternatively, the motor 40 is disposed within the lid of the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the cover 30 includes a cover body 34, a panel support 39, and a panel decorative ring 350. The cover body 34, the panel support 39, and the panel decorative ring 350 enclose an assembly space, in which the second electronic component is installed. The structural layout of the cover 30 creates an assembly space for installing the second electronic component, which helps to optimize the structural layout of the cover 30 and improve the overall strength of the cover 30.

[0070] Please see Figure 10 The cover 30 includes a cover housing 37, a panel 36, and a control panel box 35. The control panel 31 is disposed inside the cover housing 37, and the control panel box 35 covers the control panel 31. The panel 36 is fixed to the control panel box 35. The cover housing 37 includes a surrounding rib 370 that forms the second exhaust hole 38. The panel 36 has a first through hole 360 ​​corresponding to the second exhaust hole 38. This design is simple and easy to assemble. The top of the cover housing 37 has a limiting rib 375 surrounding the panel 36, which limits the position of the panel 36.

[0071] A sealing ring 371 is provided between the reinforcing rib 370 and the panel 36, and the sealing ring 371 has a second through hole 372 corresponding to the first through hole 360, and the diameter of the second through hole 372 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 360. By providing the sealing ring 371, steam is prevented from entering the space where the control panel 31 is located through the gap between the reinforcing rib 370 and the panel 36. At the same time, since the diameter of the second through hole 372 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 360, the sealing ring 371 is not exposed, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The panel 36 can be made of glass, PC, IMD, or PVC, etc., and is not limited to these materials.

[0072] 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.
