[0002] As the functions of food processors continue to increase, they have become an essential kitchen appliance for consumers. However, existing food processors still have shortcomings in the blending process. Currently, most food processors on the market have their blades rotating at a fixed height. This results in the lower materials near the blade's rotation plane being more finely broken down, while the upper materials further away from this plane are less affected by the blades and are thus less finely broken down, leading to uneven blending.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a food processor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] This utility model discloses a food processor, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a main unit, a cup assembly, a blade assembly, a lifting mechanism 1, and a support device 2. The main unit includes a base 3 and a motor 4. The motor 4 includes a motor shaft 41. The cup assembly includes an outer shell 5 and a stirring cup 6 disposed inside the outer shell 5. The blade assembly includes a blade head 7 and a blade shaft 8. The support device 2 is connected to the base 3 and is provided with an inclined running slide to provide motion support for the lifting mechanism 1. The lifting mechanism 3 consists of a transmission component and a lifting component. The transmission component is connected to the motor shaft 41, and the lifting component is connected to the blade shaft 8. The transmission component is designed with a flat structure and a non-circular horizontal cross-section. The lifting component is provided with a non-circular inner hole 121 that matches the transmission component. The two form a circumferential limiting fit through the non-circular cross-section, and the lifting component can move axially relative to the transmission component along the axis of the transmission component, so that the blade assembly rotates inside the cup assembly while moving up and down.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 2 Here is an exploded view of the lifting mechanism 1, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, the lifting mechanism 1 includes a flat rod 11, a first moving component 12, and a second moving component 13. The flat rod 11 is the transmission component of the lifting mechanism 1. The first moving component 12 and the second moving component 13 are preferably detachably connected for easy disassembly and maintenance. They can be connected by bolts and built-in threaded sections, or by other conventional connection methods. These are conventional technical means and will not be elaborated here. Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal cross-section of the flat rod 11 is a non-circular cross-section. The first moving part 12 is provided with a non-circular inner hole 121 that is adapted to the flat rod 11. The first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13 form the lifting assembly of the lifting mechanism 1, and form a circumferential limiting fit with the flat rod 11 through the non-circular cross-section.

[0036] Specifically, the top of the first moving part 12 is provided with a drive shaft 122, which is threaded to the cutter shaft 8 or can be detachably connected in other ways. The outer side of the first moving part 12 or / and the second moving part 13 is provided with a roller 14, which slides on the running slide, improving the smoothness of the lifting assembly and reducing the energy consumption of the movement.

[0037] In some embodiments, the support device 2 provides at least one motion guide for the lifting mechanism 1 to move up and down. To further improve the operational stability of the lifting mechanism 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the support device 2 is provided with a lower running slide 24 and an upper running slide 25. The upper running slide 25 and the lower running slide 24 are arranged symmetrically about the horizontal reference plane. The upper running slide 25 and the lower running slide 24 have the same inclination angle, and the upper running slide 25 and the lower running slide 24 have opposite inclination directions.

[0038] Correspondingly, rollers 14 are preferably fitted on the outer side of the first moving member 12 and the outer side of the second moving member 13, respectively. The two rollers 14 are arranged on opposite sides, with the rollers 14 of the first moving member 12 moving at the lower running slide 24 and the rollers 14 of the second moving member 13 moving at the upper running slide 25.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the support device 2 includes a first support member 21, a second support member 22, and a third support member 23. The first support member 21, the second support member 22, and the third support member 23 are detachably connected from bottom to top. They can be connected by bolts and built-in threaded sections or by other means. This is conventional technology and will not be described in detail.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, the base 3 is provided with a mounting cavity 31 for accommodating the motor 4. The motor 4 is disposed inside the mounting cavity 31. A plurality of support columns 32 are evenly arranged on the base 3, and the support columns 32 are located outside the mounting cavity 31.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 6 The diagram shows the structure of the first support member. The first support member 21 has several support legs 211 evenly arranged near the base 3. The support legs 211 are fixedly connected to the support column 32 of the base 3 to provide stable support for the lifting structure 1. The first support member 21 has a first fixing sleeve 212 in the middle. The first fixing sleeve 212 has a first annular step 213 that is obliquely wrapped around the inner wall.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first support member 21 is provided with a plurality of hollow steps 214, which are distributed in a ring around the first fixing sleeve 212. Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the mixing cup 6. Several hollow columns 61 extend downward from the bottom of the mixing cup 6. The lower part of each hollow column 61 has an internal thread. The hollow column 61 abuts against the upper side of the hollow step 214. Bolts 62 pass through the hollow column 61 and are screwed into the internal thread of the hollow column 61, so that the mixing cup 6 is fixedly connected to the support device 2.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the second support member. A second fixed sleeve 221 is provided in the middle of the second support member 22. The first annular step 213 of the first support member 21 and the lower part of the second fixed sleeve 221 form a downward running slide 24, providing a slide for the lifting mechanism 1 to move up and down. The second fixed sleeve 221 has a second annular step 222 that obliquely surrounds the inner wall. Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the third support component. Figure 9 As shown, a third fixed sleeve 231 is provided in the middle of the third support member 23. The second annular step 222 of the second support member 22 and the lower part of the third fixed sleeve 231 form an operating slide 25. Both the lower operating slide 24 and the upper operating slide 25 are operating slides with an inclined angle relative to the horizontal reference plane, which axially limits the lifting component.

[0044] For better results, such as Figure 9As shown, the end of the third fixed sleeve 231 is provided with a sealing part 232, which passes through the bottom of the mixing cup 6. The drive shaft 122 of the first moving part 12 passes through the sealing part 232 and is threadedly connected to the upper blade shaft 8. An elastic seal 9 is provided between the sealing part 232 and the drive shaft 122. When the drive shaft 122 drives the blade shaft 8 to move up and down, it can effectively prevent the material in the cup from flowing to the lifting mechanism 1, thus extending the service life of the food processor.

[0045] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: The support device 2 is fixedly connected to the base 3. The support device 2 is provided with an inclined running slide, which forms an axial limit on the lifting component of the lifting mechanism 1. The lifting mechanism 1 consists of a separately arranged transmission component and a lifting component. The transmission component is fixedly connected to the motor shaft 41 for transmitting power. The lifting component moves up and down in the support device 2 and the axially extended transmission shaft 122 is connected to the cutter shaft 8. The transmission component is designed as a flat structure with a non-circular horizontal cross section. The lifting component is provided with a non-circular inner hole 121 that matches the transmission component. The two form a circumferential limiting fit through the non-circular cross section. The lifting component drives the cutter shaft 8 to move axially relative to the axis of the transmission component, which is used to drive the cutter component to move up and down when subjected to force.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the food processor is working, the motor 4 starts, and the motor shaft 8 drives the flat rod 11 to rotate. The flat rod 11 drives the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13, which are fixedly connected, to rotate synchronously. At the same time, two rollers 14, which are sleeved on the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13 and are arranged on opposite sides, move in the lower running slide 24 and the upper running slide 25, respectively. Since the lower running slide 24 and the upper running slide 25 are both running slides with an inclination angle relative to the horizontal reference plane, they are symmetrically arranged vertically with the horizontal reference plane as the axis of symmetry. By adapting to the rollers 14 arranged on opposite sides of the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13, the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13 can be axially limited. When the flat rod 11 rotates, the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 13 rotate and are subjected to axial movement under force, thereby driving the blade assembly to rotate and move up and down at the same time, so as to fully process the material in the mixing cup 6. This food processor has the advantages of simple structure, uniform and thorough mixing and crushing, low cost and strong practicality.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
