The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0034] according to Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an embodiment of a food processor, including: a main unit module 1, a mixing module 2, and a drying module 3.

[0035] The main unit module 1 includes a motor 111, a hot air blower 12, and an inner liner 13, which is used for generating electricity. The stirring module 2 includes a cup body 21, a stirring blade assembly, and a steaming basket 23. The cup body 21 is connected to the inner liner 13. The stirring blade assembly 22 and the steaming basket 23 are located inside the cup body 21. The steaming basket 23 is provided with several through holes 230. The stirring blade assembly 22 has a transmission relationship with the power end of the motor 111. The drying module 3 includes a base 31 and several drying racks 32. The interior of the base 31 is connected to the air outlet 120 of the hot air blower 12. The drying racks 32 are stacked on the base 31.

[0036] The above settings expand the functional modules without changing the existing overall structure of the food processor, enabling it to simultaneously perform blending, steaming, and drying functions.

[0037] The process of using the above-mentioned food processor is as follows:

[0038] When the stirring function is needed, the motor 111 is powered on, causing the power end of the motor 111 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blade 22 to rotate, thereby stirring the food in the cup 21. When the steaming function is needed, water is added to the inner pot 13 and heated to generate steam. The steam enters the cup 21 and steams the food on the steaming basket 23. When the drying function is needed, the hot air blower 12 is powered on to generate hot air. The hot air enters the base 31 through the air outlet 120 and flows to the drying rack 32 to dry the food in the drying rack 32.

[0039] Specifically, the main unit module 1 also includes a drive wheel 113 and a driven wheel 115. The shaft of the drive wheel 113 has a speed-changing transmission relationship with the power end of the motor 111. The drive wheel 113 and the driven wheel 115 are connected by a synchronous belt 114. The stirring blade holder 22 has a transmission relationship with the shaft of the driven wheel 115, thereby enabling the stirring blade holder 22 to have a transmission relationship with the power end of the motor 111. More specifically, the main unit module 1 also includes a reduction gearbox 112, the power end of the motor 111 and the reduction gearbox 112 are connected by a synchronous belt 114. The input end of the speed reduction gearbox 112 is connected, and the shaft of the drive wheel 113 is connected to the output end of the speed reduction gearbox 112, so that the shaft of the drive wheel 113 and the power end of the motor 111 have a speed-changing transmission relationship, thereby reducing the transmission speed ratio between the shaft of the drive wheel 113 and the power end of the motor 111, amplifying the torque of the driven wheel 115, making the rotational force of the stirring blade 22 greater, avoiding jamming when stirring food, ensuring the smoothness of the entire stirring process, and ensuring that the food is thoroughly pulverized.

[0040] In practice, the main unit module 1 also includes a base 11, a motor 111, a hot air blower 12, an inner liner 13, and a drive wheel 113, all of which are located inside the base 11. A driven wheel 115 is located on the outside of the base 11. A rotatable connecting seat 211 is provided at the bottom of the cup body 21. The stirring blade holder 22 is connected to the connecting seat 211. The cup body 21 is mounted on the base 11 corresponding to the driven wheel 115, so that the connecting seat 211 is connected to the shaft of the driven wheel 115, thereby enabling the stirring blade holder 22 and the shaft of the driven wheel 115 to have a transmission relationship.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, the hot air blower 12 includes a fan 121, a housing 122, and a heating element 123. The housing 122 is provided with an air inlet 124 and an air outlet 120. The fan 121 is disposed inside the housing 122, and the heating element 123 is disposed at the air outlet 120 to heat the airflow blown out by the fan 12. Preferably, the base 31 is provided with a drying port 311, and the base 31 is connected to the air outlet 120 of the hot air blower 12 through the drying port 311 cooperating with the air outlet 120. (Reference) Figure 4 Furthermore, the drying module 3 also includes several perforated frames 33, which are arranged inside the drying rack 32, and the airflow passes through the perforated frames 33 from bottom to top. Figure 4 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow, used to dry the food in each drying rack 32. More preferably, the perforated rack 33 is provided with ventilation holes 332 and a receiving surface 330 for placing food. The receiving surface 330 is provided with multiple perforated positions 331. The area of ​​the perforated positions 331 is smaller than the area of ​​the ventilation holes 332, which ensures that the food can be placed stably on the perforated rack 33 and also ensures sufficient airflow, so that the food on each layer of the perforated rack 33 can be fully dried. Optionally, the ventilation holes 332 are located in the center of the perforated rack 33, and the perforations are arranged around the ventilation holes 332.

[0042] Of course, setting a perforated frame 33 inside the drying rack 32 is a preferred embodiment. Similarly, the drying rack 32 and the perforated frame 33 can be integrated into one unit, that is, the drying rack 32 is provided with a receiving surface 330, a perforated position 331, and even ventilation holes 332, so that food can be placed and airflow can be ensured.

[0043] In practice, the drying module 3 also includes a top cover 34, which is detachably installed on the top drying rack 32 to seal the interior of the base 31 and the interior of the drying rack 32, ensuring the airtightness of the entire drying module 3, thereby improving drying efficiency, reducing drying time, and providing users with a better user experience. Furthermore, the main unit module 1 also includes a liner cover 15, which is detachably installed on the inner liner 13 to seal the interior of the inner liner 13, ensuring its airtightness and preventing steam leakage that could affect cooking efficiency. In an optional embodiment, an inner... The inner lid 14 protrudes towards the inner liner 13, which not only enhances the airtightness of the inner liner 13 but also increases the internal pressure, resulting in higher steam temperature and pressure. This allows the steam to enter the cup body 21 more effectively and raises the temperature of the food being steamed, leading to faster cooking and softer, more delicious food. In addition, the stirring module 2 includes a cup lid 24 that is detachably installed at the mouth of the cup body 21 to seal the inside of the cup body 21, creating an airtight space within the cup body 21. This further improves cooking efficiency, shortens cooking time, and enhances the user experience.

[0044] refer to Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, the steaming basket 23 is provided with a through hole 231, and the steaming basket 23 is fitted into the cup body 21 through the through hole 231, thereby integrating the stirring component with the steaming function; Reference Figure 7 In practical applications, the inner liner 13 is provided with a steam port 132 that connects to the cup body 21. The steam generated inside the inner liner 13 enters the cup body 21 through the steam port 132. Figure 7(The arrow in the image indicates the direction of steam flow). Correspondingly, the cup lid 24 is provided with a lid hole 241, which cooperates with the steam port 132, allowing the cup body 21 to connect with the inner liner 13.

[0045] In addition, a heating element 134 is provided on the bottom side of the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 is heated by energizing the heating element 134. In order to control the temperature in the inner pot 13, a thermostat 133 is also provided on the bottom side of the inner pot 13. When the temperature of the inner pot 13 exceeds the set temperature, the power supply of the heating element 134 will be disconnected or the power of the heating element 134 will be reduced to avoid the inner pot 13 being too hot and affecting the normal operation of other components of the main unit module 1. In order to further ensure the normal use of the steaming function, a micro switch 131 is also provided on the periphery of the inner pot 13. When the temperature of the inner pot 13 is too high, the micro switch 131 will be activated to directly disconnect the power supply of the heating element 134 to ensure safe use.
