Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a blending cup assembly and 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. In related technologies, the temperature control component within the blending cup assembly of the food processor is fixedly installed on the heating plate via a fixed structure. Therefore, space needs to be provided between the heating plate and the motor bracket to install the temperature control component, resulting in a relatively high blending cup assembly, and consequently, a relatively high food processor, occupying a large amount of space. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a blending cup assembly and a food processor to solve at least some of the problems in the related art.

[0004] This application provides a mixing cup assembly, including:

[0005] Cup body;

[0006] A heating plate is located at the bottom of the cup body;

[0007] A motor mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating plate, and the motor mounting bracket has at least two through slots along the height direction of the motor mounting bracket;

[0008] At least two temperature control components are provided, each of which is located in the respective through slot and abuts against the heating plate.

[0009] The pressure plate is connected to the motor mounting bracket and is partially located in the through groove, abutting against each of the temperature control components, so as to press each of the temperature control components against the heating plate.

[0010] Thus, by having at least two through slots along the height of the motor mounting bracket, with each temperature control component located within its respective slot, no installation space for the temperature control components is required between the heating plate and the motor mounting bracket, reducing the overall height of the assembled heating plate, motor mounting bracket, and at least two temperature control components. Furthermore, only the motor mounting bracket and the pressure plate need to be fixedly connected to ensure that at least two temperature control components abut against the heating plate, simplifying the fixing method.

[0011] Optionally, the pressing plate includes a fixing part and at least two abutting parts connected to the fixing part. The fixing part is connected to the motor mounting bracket, and each of the abutting parts is located in each of the through grooves and abuts against each of the temperature control components to press each of the temperature control components against the heating plate. Thus, by including the fixing part and at least two abutting parts connected to the fixing part in the pressing plate, only the motor mounting bracket and the fixing part need to be connected, and the at least two abutting parts connected to the fixing part can press each temperature control component against the heating plate, making the fixing method simple.

[0012] Optionally, the motor mounting bracket has a receiving groove on the side facing away from the heating plate. This receiving groove communicates with the at least two through slots. The fixing part is located within the receiving groove, and each of the abutting parts extends into its respective through slot to abut against each temperature control component. This reduces the distance between the fixing part and the heating plate, and consequently, the distance between the abutting part and the heating plate, facilitating the abutting part's contact with the temperature control component towards the heating plate. It also reduces the overall height of the assembled heating plate, temperature control component, and at least two temperature control components.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom of the heating plate is provided with a connecting post, the motor mounting bracket has a through hole corresponding to the connecting post, and the fixing part has a connecting hole corresponding to the connecting post. The connecting post passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole. In this way, the fixing part and the motor mounting bracket are connected by the connecting post, through hole, and connecting hole, which is a simple connection method and facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0014] Optionally, the pressure plate further includes a bending portion connected between the supporting portion and the fixing portion. On the horizontal projection plane, the bending portion is inclined to both the supporting portion and the fixing portion. This facilitates connecting the fixing portion and the supporting portion via the bending portion. When the fixing portion is fixed, the supporting portion is also fixed. Furthermore, the position of the supporting portion can be set as needed, and the position of the fixing portion can also be set according to actual requirements, improving the flexibility of fixing the temperature control component via the pressure plate.

[0015] Optionally, the end of the supporting portion away from the fixing portion is bent relative to the fixing portion towards the heating plate to form a contact portion, which abuts against the temperature control component. In this way, the contact portion is positioned closer to the heating plate, which better holds the temperature control component against the heating plate and improves the stability of the temperature control component's fixation.

[0016] Optionally, the motor mounting bracket has a downwardly protruding pressing protrusion on the side facing away from the heating plate. The pressing plate also includes a pressing part, which is connected to the side of the mounting portion away from the supporting part. The pressing protrusion abuts and limits the pressing part. In this way, the side of the pressing plate away from the contact portion can be raised, with the connection between the mounting portion and the motor mounting bracket serving as a fulcrum. The pressing part and the supporting part are located on both sides of the fulcrum, causing the supporting part to sink down and get closer to the heating plate, thus better securing the temperature control component to the heating plate.

[0017] Optionally, the pressing protrusion includes a supporting portion and limiting portions located at both ends of the supporting portion. The height of the limiting portions is greater than the height of the supporting portion. The pressing portion is supported by the supporting portion, and the limiting portions abut and limit the pressing portion. In this way, the limiting portions can restrict the movement of the supporting portion, thereby preventing the pressing portion from disengaging from the pressing protrusion, ensuring that the pressing portion on the side of the pressure plate away from the abutting portion is always located on the pressing protrusion, thus always keeping the pressing portion elevated.

[0018] Optionally, the at least two through slots include a first through slot and a second through slot; the at least two temperature control components include a fuse and a temperature controller, with the fuse located in the first through slot and the temperature controller located in the second through slot; the at least two abutting portions include a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, with the first abutting portion abutting against the fuse and the second abutting portion abutting against the temperature controller. Thus, the temperature controller is used to monitor the temperature of the heating plate in real time, and the fuse is used to melt when the temperature of the heating plate is too high, preventing the heating element from continuing to heat the heating plate and improving the safety of the food processor.

[0019] Optionally, the bottom end of the cup body has a flange extending radially inward. The heating plate is located inside the cup body and presses downward against the flange. The motor mounting bracket is located below the cup body and presses upward against the flange. The motor mounting bracket is securely connected to the heating plate. Thus, by securely connecting the motor mounting bracket to the heating plate, the heating plate can be fixed inside the cup body, further reducing the height of the mixing cup assembly.

[0020] This application also provides a food processor, including a blending cup assembly;

[0021] The base includes a base and a support extending upward from the base; the stirring cup assembly is assembled to the base;

[0022] The lid is assembled on the support base and covers the mixing cup assembly.

[0023] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0035] This application provides a blending cup assembly and a food processor. The blending cup assembly and food processor of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0036] This application provides a stirring cup assembly 1, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the mixing cup assembly of this application without the cup body; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the stirring cup assembly 1. Figure 3 for Figure 2 An exploded view of the stirring cup assembly 1 shown. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the stirring cup assembly 1 includes:

[0037] Cup body 5;

[0038] The heating plate 10 can heat the food inside the cup 5.

[0039] The motor mounting bracket 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating plate 10. The motor mounting bracket 30 has at least two through slots 31 along its height. These at least two through slots 31 are also located at the bottom of the heating plate 10 and communicate with it. It can be understood that the motor mounting bracket 30 can be considered as the cup holder of the cup body 5.

[0040] At least two temperature control components are provided, each located in a through slot 31 and in contact with the heating plate 10, to sense the temperature of the heating plate 10 and prevent the heating plate 10 from overheating and affecting the use of the food processor 6.

[0041] The pressure plate 40 is connected to the motor mounting bracket 30 and partially located in the through slot 31, abutting against each temperature control component to press each temperature control component against the heating plate 10. Thus, by having at least two through slots 31 along the height direction of the motor mounting bracket 30, with each temperature control component located within its respective slot, installation space for the temperature control components is eliminated between the heating plate 10 and the motor mounting bracket 30, reducing the overall height of the assembled heating plate 10, motor mounting bracket 30, and at least two temperature control components. Only a fixed connection between the motor mounting bracket 30 and the pressure plate 40 is needed to ensure at least two temperature control components abut against the heating plate 10, simplifying the fixing method.

[0042] Furthermore, by positioning the pressing plate 40 part in the through groove 31 and abutting against each temperature control component, the height occupied by the pressing plate 40 can be reduced, further reducing the height of the heating plate 10, the motor mounting bracket 30, and at least two temperature control components after assembly.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure plate 40 includes a fixing part 41 and at least two supporting parts 42 connected to the fixing part 41. The fixing part 41 is connected to the motor mounting bracket 30, and each supporting part 42 is located in each through groove 31 and abuts against each temperature control component to press the temperature control component against the heating plate 10. In this way, only the motor mounting bracket 30 and the fixing part 41 need to be fixedly connected to make at least two temperature control components abut against the heating plate 10, and the fixing method is simple.

[0044] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the motor mounting bracket 30 has a receiving groove 32 on the side facing away from the heating plate 10. The receiving groove 32 communicates with at least two through grooves 31. The fixing part 41 is located in the receiving groove 32, and each abutting part 42 extends into each through groove 31 and abuts against each temperature control component. The receiving groove 32 is used to accommodate the fixing part 41, which can reduce the distance between the fixing part 41 and the heating plate 10, and further reduce the distance between the abutting part 42 and the heating plate 10. This makes it easier for the abutting part 42 to abut against the temperature control component in the direction of the heating plate 10, so that the temperature control component is set in close contact with the heating plate 10. It can also reduce the height of the heating plate 10, the motor mounting bracket 30 and the at least two temperature control components after assembly.

[0045] Please also refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the heating plate 10. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the motor mounting bracket 30. Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the tablet 40. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a connecting post 11 is provided at the bottom of the heating plate 10, and a through hole 33 corresponding to the connecting post 11 is provided on the motor mounting bracket 30. A connecting hole 45 corresponding to the connecting post 11 is provided on the fixing part 41. The connecting post 11 passes through the through hole 33 and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 45. In this way, the fixing part 41 and the motor mounting bracket 30 are connected by the connecting post 11, the through hole 33 and the connecting hole 45. The connection method is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0046] The heating plate 10 includes a heating element 12, which is located on the side of the heating plate 10 facing the motor mounting bracket 30. The heating element 12 is used to heat the heating plate 10, thereby heating the food in the cup 5. For the sake of the food's texture and overheat protection, the temperature inside the cup 5 is generally monitored and controlled by a temperature control component.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 The pressure plate 40 also includes a bending portion 43, which connects the supporting portion 42 and the fixing portion 41. On the horizontal projection plane, the bending portion 43 is inclined to both the supporting portion 42 and the fixing portion 41. This facilitates the connection between the fixing portion 41 and the supporting portion 42 via the bending portion 43. When the fixing portion 41 is fixed, the supporting portion 42 is also fixed. The position of the supporting portion 42 can be set as needed, and the position of the fixing portion 41 can also be set according to actual needs, improving the flexibility of fixing the temperature control component via the pressure plate 40.

[0048] In this embodiment, the angle between the bent portion 43 and the supporting portion 42 is an obtuse angle, the angle between the bent portion 43 and the fixing portion 41 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the supporting portion 42 and the fixing portion 41 is a right angle. This allows the bent portion 43 to be located between the two supporting portions 42, and the fixing portion 41 to be located between the two bent portions 43 and the two supporting portions 42. The distances between the two supporting portions 42 and the fixing portion 41 are both small and not significantly different, resulting in a large and relatively uniform supporting force exerted by the two supporting portions 42 on the temperature control component. This improves the supporting and fixing effect of the pressure plate 40.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the end of the supporting portion 42 away from the fixing portion 41 is bent relative to the fixing portion 41 towards the heating plate 10 to form a contact portion 44, which abuts against the temperature control component. In this way, the contact portion 44 is positioned closer to the heating plate 10, which can better hold the temperature control component against the heating plate 10 and improve the stability of the temperature control component.

[0050] Please also refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The motor mounting bracket 30 has a downwardly protruding pressing protrusion 34 on the side facing away from the heating plate 10. The pressure plate 40 also includes a pressing part 46, which is connected to the side of the fixing part 41 away from the supporting part 42. The pressing protrusion 34 abuts and limits the pressing part 46. When the pressure plate 40 is fixed to the motor mounting bracket 30, the pressing part 46 abuts against the pressing protrusion 34 from bottom to top. In this way, the side of the pressure plate 40 away from the supporting part 42 can be raised. The connection between the fixing part 41 and the motor mounting bracket 30 serves as a fulcrum. The pressing part 46 and the supporting part 42 are located on both sides of the fulcrum, which causes the supporting part 42 to sink down and get closer to the heating plate 10, so that the temperature control component can be better abutted and fixed to the heating plate 10.

[0051] The pressing protrusion 34 includes a support portion 341 and limiting portions 342 located at both ends of the support portion 341. The height of the limiting portions 342 is greater than the height of the support portion 341. The pressing portion 46 is supported on the support portion 341, and the limiting portions 342 abut against and limit the pressing portion 46. In this way, the limiting portions 342 can restrict the movement of the support portion 341, thereby preventing the pressing portion 46 from detaching from the pressing protrusion 34. This ensures that the pressing portion 46 on the side of the pressure plate 40 away from the abutment portion 42 is always located on the pressing protrusion 34, keeping the pressing portion 46 raised. This allows the abutment portion 42 to be closer to the heating plate 10, better holding and fixing the temperature control component, and improving the stability of the heating plate 10 component.

[0052] At least two through slots 31 include a first through slot 311 and a second through slot 322, and at least two temperature control components include a fuse 21 and a thermostat 22. The thermostat 22 is used to monitor the temperature of the heating plate 10 in real time. The fuse 21 is connected in series with the heating tube 12 and is used to melt when the temperature of the heating plate 10 is too high, so as to prevent the heating tube 12 from continuing to heat the heating plate 10 and improve the safety of the food processor 6.

[0053] The fuse 21 is located in the first through groove 311, and the thermostat 22 is located in the second through groove 322. At least two supporting portions 42 include a first supporting portion 421 and a second supporting portion 422. The first supporting portion 421 abuts against the fuse 21, and the second supporting portion 422 abuts against the thermostat 22. Thus, by simply connecting the fixing portion 41 and the motor mounting bracket 30, the thermostat 22 and the fuse 21 can be abutted and fixed to the bottom of the heating plate 10. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and provides good fixation.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the stirring cup assembly 1 shown. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom end of the cup body 5 has a flange extending radially inward. The heating plate 10 is located inside the cup body 5 and presses downward against the flange. The motor mounting bracket 30 is located below the cup body 5 and presses upward against the flange. The motor mounting bracket 30 is securely connected to the heating plate 10. In this way, by securely connecting the motor mounting bracket 30 to the heating plate 10, the heating plate 10 can be fixed inside the cup body 5, further reducing the height of the mixing cup assembly 1.

[0055] exist Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the stirring cup assembly 1 further includes a disc sealing ring 13 and a cup sealing ring 14. The disc sealing ring 13 is disposed between the edge of the heating disc 10 and the flange, forming a seal between the heating disc 10 and the flange, thus ensuring a tight connection between the heating disc 19 and the cup body 5. The cup sealing ring 14 is disposed between the bottom end of the cup body 5 and the motor mounting bracket 30, forming a seal between the bottom end of the cup body 5 and the motor mounting bracket 30.

[0056] The stirring cup assembly 1 also includes a motor 15 and a bottom cover 16. The motor 15 is mounted on the side of the motor mounting bracket 30 facing away from the heating plate 10, and the motor 15 is located between the bottom cover 16 and the motor mounting bracket 30. A coupler 17 is also provided between the motor mounting bracket 30 and the bottom cover 16. The coupler 17 includes a high-voltage coupler and a low-voltage coupler. The coupler 17 is connected to the motor 15 and is used to control the start, stop and speed of the motor 15.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a food processor 6 according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the food processor 6 of this application. The food processor 6 provided in this application includes a blending cup assembly 1, a base 61, and a lid 62.

[0058] The base 61 includes a base 63 and a support 64 extending upward from the base 63. The mixing cup assembly 1 is assembled to the base 63. The support 64 and the base 63 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then assembled together. The cover 62 is assembled to the support 64 and covers the mixing cup assembly 1. Figure 9 As shown, the cover 62 is rotatably assembled to the support base 64. In some other embodiments, the cover 62 is rotatably assembled to the support base 64, and in other still embodiments, the cover 62 is movably assembled to the support base 64.

[0059] like Figure 9 As shown, the mixing cup assembly 1 also includes a cup lid 65 covering the cup body 5. The cup lid 65 is located below the cover 62 and can serve as heat insulation to prevent the cover 62 from getting too hot, thereby protecting the control board located inside the cover 62. In the illustrated embodiment, the cup lid 65 has a recess for easy gripping by the user.
