Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically relating to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing food processors, such as blenders and soy milk makers, process ingredients in a pot by moving blades or other cutting components. Furthermore, most of these machines have an exhaust vent to release steam and other gases generated during the cooking process, and a water inlet to allow external water to enter.

[0003] Existing food processors have the following problems:

[0004] The vent is designed to expel the gas generated during the blending process and balance the pressure inside and outside the pot. However, in reality, a small amount of food slurry is often carried out with the expelled gas, and this slurry easily adheres to the vent. After a period of use, visible dried material often accumulates at the vent, causing blockage and making it prone to bacterial growth and odors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a food processor that can ensure water intake and venting while avoiding vent blockage, based on the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a food processor, comprising:

[0007] A pot body that is hollow in the middle and open at the top;

[0008] A lid is located on top of the pot body to close the opening and form a chamber for cooking food between the pot body and the pot body. The chamber has an inlet for external water to enter, and the lid can be moved upward to open the opening.

[0009] The food preparation component is located within the cavity and can move under the drive of the drive mechanism to prepare the food within the cavity.

[0010] Its features are:

[0011] The side wall of the pot body is provided with an exhaust channel, the air inlet of the exhaust channel faces upward and is open, and the air outlet of the exhaust channel is used to connect to the drain pipe.

[0012] The cover is provided with an exhaust pipe, the gas inlet end of which is connected to the chamber, and the gas outlet end of which faces downward and is inserted into the air inlet of the exhaust channel.

[0013] Therefore, when the lid is on top of the pot and the food processor is working, external water can be introduced into the chamber through the water inlet. Steam and other gases generated by the processor can be discharged sequentially through the exhaust pipe on the lid and the exhaust channel on the pot to the drain pipe. After the food processor finishes working and the food is removed from the pot, the lid can be closed, and external water can be introduced into the chamber through the water inlet. When the water level in the chamber is high (higher than the water level when the processor is working), the water can be discharged sequentially through the exhaust pipe on the lid and the exhaust channel on the pot to the drain pipe. During this process, the water can flush the exhaust pipe and exhaust channel, preventing them from becoming blocked. Furthermore, the design of the exhaust pipe and exhaust channel in this invention does not affect the upward opening and downward closing of the lid. When the lid is opened upwards, the food to be processed can be placed into the pot.

[0014] Preferably, the exhaust pipe and exhaust passage also serve as channels for draining water from the chamber.

[0015] Preferably, the cover is provided with a flow guide seat, which has independent water inlet chamber and gas chamber inside. The bottom wall of the water inlet chamber is provided with the aforementioned water inlet, and the water inlet chamber has a pipe for connecting to an external water source. The bottom wall of the gas chamber is provided with a gas inlet, which communicates with the chamber. The gas input end of the exhaust pipe communicates with the gas chamber. That is, both water inlet and exhaust are achieved through the flow guide seat on the cover.

[0016] Preferably, the gas chamber is located on the periphery of the water inlet chamber. The steam passing through the gas chamber can exchange heat with the water source in the water inlet chamber, increasing the temperature of the water source and decreasing the temperature of the gas. Furthermore, the gas chamber, being located on the periphery of the water inlet chamber, has a larger volume, which slows down the flow rate of the gas after it enters the gas chamber, thus facilitating heat exchange.

[0017] Furthermore, the gas chamber is C-shaped, and the C-shaped opening corresponds to the pipe arrangement of the water inlet chamber.

[0018] In the above scheme, preferably, the cover is hollow inside so that the flow guide seat can be placed therein, and the bottom wall of the cover is provided with a through hole, which is opposite to the water inlet and the gas inlet.

[0019] Preferably, the water inlet is located at the center of the through hole, and there are at least two gas inlets located around the water inlet.

[0020] Furthermore, the edge of the through hole extends downward to form a flow-guiding annular wall that protrudes relative to the bottom wall of the cover. This enables fluid diversion.

[0021] In the above scheme, preferably, the bottom of the chamber is provided with a drain port and a switch for opening or closing the drain port.

[0022] In the above embodiments, preferably, it further includes a cabinet for embedding within the cabinet, with the side of the cabinet facing the user as the front side, the cabinet having:

[0023] The main body has an opening on the front side, and the main body contains the aforementioned pot body and lid body;

[0024] A door located on the front side of the main body to open or close an opening.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: When the lid is placed on top of the pot and the food processor is working, external water can be introduced into the chamber through the water inlet. Steam and other gases generated by the processor can be discharged sequentially through the exhaust pipe on the lid and the exhaust channel on the pot to the drain pipe. After the food processor finishes working and the food is removed from the pot, the lid can be closed, and external water can be introduced into the chamber through the water inlet. When the water level in the chamber is high (higher than the water level during operation), the water can be discharged sequentially through the exhaust pipe on the lid and the exhaust channel on the pot to the drain pipe. During this process, the water can flush the exhaust pipe and exhaust channel, preventing them from becoming blocked. Furthermore, the design of the exhaust pipe and exhaust channel in this invention does not affect the upward opening and downward closing of the lid. When the lid is opened upwards, the food to be processed can be placed into the pot. Attached Figure Description
