[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 10 This invention describes a cup assembly and a food processor according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cup assembly of this utility model embodiment includes: a cup body 1, a mounting bracket 2 and a fastening ring 3. The cup body 1 has a first connecting part 11, the mounting bracket 2 is disposed on the lower side of the first connecting part 11, and the fastening ring 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the first connecting part 11 and connected to the mounting bracket 2.

[0044] According to the embodiments of the present invention, when assembling the cup body assembly, the fastening ring 3 can be sleeved on the outside of the first connecting part 11 so that the fastening ring 3 is relatively fixed to the first connecting part 11. Then the fastening ring 3 is connected to the mounting bracket 2. Thus, the fastening ring 3 can serve as a transition structure to fix the cup body 1 and the mounting bracket 2. Compared with the solution of "direct assembly of cup body 1 and mounting bracket 2", the processing precision of cup body 1 and mounting bracket 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing problems such as cup bursting and water leakage caused by cup body assembly problems, so as to reduce the defect rate after cup body assembly. Moreover, the above-mentioned cup body assembly method is simple and low in cost.

[0045] In related technologies, the cup body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are assembled together by direct screwing. Therefore, the cup body 1 needs to be equipped with locking blocks for screwing. The setting of the locking blocks places high demands on the strength and control precision of the cup body 1. When the strength and control precision do not meet the design requirements, problems such as the cup body 1 cracking or leaking are likely to occur during the assembly of the cup body assembly. However, in the embodiment of this utility model, the cup body assembly indirectly connects the cup body 1 to the mounting bracket 2 by placing the fastening ring 3 on the outside of the first connecting part 11 and connecting the fastening ring 3 to the mounting bracket 2 through the fastening ring 3. Therefore, the design precision of the cup body 1 can be reduced, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the defect rate is lower.

[0046] For example, the cup body is made of glass or plastic. Since the cup body 1 is indirectly connected to the mounting bracket 2 through the fastening ring 3, the processing precision of the cup body can be reduced, and the probability of the cup body breaking during assembly can be reduced.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 has a second connecting portion 21, which is located below the first connecting portion 11. A fastening ring 3 is fitted onto the outside of the second connecting portion 21. Since the fastening ring 3 is fitted onto the outside of the second connecting portion 21, it can also simultaneously fix the second connecting portion 21. That is, the fastening ring 3 can lock the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 21, thereby reducing the design precision of the mounting bracket 2 and improving the sealing effect after installation.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cup assembly also includes a first fastener (not shown), which passes through the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3 along the axial direction of the cup body 1. It is understood that the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3 are locked together by the first fastener to improve the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3.

[0049] For example, the first fastener can be a bolt or screw, and the first fastener is screwed into the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3.

[0050] For example, there are multiple first fasteners (not shown), which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting bracket 2. This can improve the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3, and reduce or eliminate the installation gap between the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3, thereby improving the waterproof sealing effect of the cup assembly.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the outer wall of the mounting bracket 2 has a first annular flange 22, and the first fastener passes through the first annular flange 22 along the axial direction of the cup body 1. The lower end of the fastening ring 3 abuts against the first annular flange 22. Since the lower end of the fastening ring 3 abuts against the first annular flange 22, it facilitates the positioning of the mounting bracket 2 during assembly and increases the contact area between the fastening ring 3 and the mounting bracket 2, thereby improving the waterproof sealing effect of the cup body assembly.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fastening ring 3 has a connecting hole 33 extending axially along the cup body 1, and the first annular flange 22 has a through hole 221. The through hole 221 and the connecting hole 33 are arranged opposite to each other. The first fastener is sequentially inserted into the through hole 221 and the connecting hole 33 to fix the mounting bracket 2 and the fastening ring 3.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cup assembly also includes a first seal 4, which is disposed between the fastening ring 3 and the first connecting portion 11. It is understood that the first seal 4 can fill the installation gap between the fastening ring 3 and the first connecting portion 11 to reduce the probability of water leakage at the connection point between the first connecting portion 11 and the fastening ring 3.

[0054] For example, the first sealing element 4 is an annular sealing gasket, and the sealing gasket has a certain degree of elasticity. Thus, the first sealing element 4 can improve the waterproof sealing effect at the connection position between the first connecting part 11 and the fastening ring 3, and the first sealing element 4 has a certain elastic buffering effect to reduce the probability of the cup body 1 breaking due to excessive fastening force of the fastening ring 3.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cup assembly also includes a second seal 5, which is disposed between the first connecting part 11 and the mounting bracket 2. This can improve the sealing effect at the connection position between the first connecting part 11 and the mounting bracket 2, so as to prevent water leakage at the position between the first connecting part 11 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0056] For example, the second seal 5 is an annular sealing gasket with a certain degree of elasticity. Therefore, the second seal 5 can improve the waterproof sealing effect at the connection point between the first connecting part 11 and the mounting bracket 2, and the second seal 5 also has a certain elastic buffering effect to prevent the cup body 1 from breaking.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, the second sealing member 5 has multiple annular protrusions 52 on the side facing the first connecting portion 11. These annular protrusions 52 are arranged sequentially along the radial direction of the second sealing member 5, and they elastically abut against the first connecting portion 11. When the first connecting portion 11 and the second sealing member 5 are pressed together, the annular protrusions 52 are more prone to elastic deformation, thereby increasing the elastic contact force between the lower end face of the first connecting portion 11 and the second sealing member 5. Furthermore, the radial arrangement of the multiple annular protrusions 52 along the second sealing member 5 further improves the waterproof sealing effect at the connection point between the first connecting portion 11 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0058] For example, the cross-sectional profile of the annular convex ring 52 is V-shaped.

[0059] In other examples, the lower end face of the first connecting portion 11 has a serrated groove (not shown), which elastically abuts against the second seal 5. Thus, when the fastening ring 3 and the mounting bracket 2 are locked along the axial direction of the cup body 1, the second seal 5 can undergo a certain elastic deformation and fill into the serrated groove, thereby increasing the contact area between the lower end face of the first connecting portion 11 and the second seal 5.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cup assembly also includes a heating plate 6, which is located below the first connecting part 11 and within the mounting bracket 2. The heating plate 6 cooperates with the second sealing member 5. Therefore, the second sealing member 5 can seal not only the connection between the first connecting part 11 and the mounting bracket 2, but also the connection between the heating plate 6 and the second sealing member 5. This improves the overall sealing effect of the cup assembly, and the structure is compact with fewer required components.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the heating plate 6 has a second annular flange 61, and the second sealing member 5 has an annular groove 51. The second annular flange 61 extends radially into the annular groove 51 of the second sealing member 5. Figure 4 As shown, the annular groove 51 opens along the radial inner side of the second seal 5, and the second annular flange 61 extends into the annular groove 51 of the second seal 5, which can increase the contact area between the heating plate 6 and the second seal 5, thereby improving the waterproof sealing effect at the connection position between the heating plate 6 and the second seal 5.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the cup assembly also includes a second fastener (not shown). The fastening ring 3 has a notch 31 that extends through the fastening ring 3 along the axial direction of the cup body 1. The second fastener is connected to the fastening ring 3 and is used to adjust the gap of the notch 31. It can be understood that the outline of the fastening ring 3 is generally C-shaped. The second fastener can adjust the gap of the notch 31 to increase or decrease the inner diameter of the fastening ring 3, thereby enabling the installation and removal of the fastening ring 3 from the cup body 1. This improves the ease of assembly of the fastening ring 3, reduces the manufacturing precision required for the cup body 1, and lowers the production cost of the cup assembly.

[0063] For example, a second fastener (not shown) passes through the notch 31 along an axis orthogonal to the cup body 1, and the second fastener is threadedly engaged with the fastening ring 3. This improves the ease of connection between the fastening ring 3 and the second fastener, and is easy to manufacture and has a lower cost.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the fastening ring 3 is a clamp that wraps around the outside of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 21. The clamp is locked by the second fastener so that the cup body 1 and the cup mounting bracket 2 are fixed relative to each other.

[0065] In another example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the fastening ring 3 includes a deformable band 32, which is spirally arranged and forms a fastening cavity 323. The radial dimension of the fastening cavity 323 is adjustable. Thus, the band 32 can adjust the fastening cavity 323 to an appropriate size according to the outer diameter of the first connecting part 11, thereby expanding the application range of the band 32.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, the cup assembly also includes a second fastener (not shown). The clamp 32 has a head end 321 and a tail end 322 along its extension direction, the head end 321 and tail end 322 overlapping circumferentially along the fastening cavity 323. The second fastener connects to the head end 321 and tail end 322. It is understood that the clamp 32 spirals around in the horizontal direction and at least partially overlaps. The second fastener improves the reliability of the connection between the cup body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 by connecting the head end 321 and tail end 322 of the clamp 32 to lock the clamp 32 in position.

[0067] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, one of the head end 321 and the tail end 322 is provided with a protrusion 3211, and the other is provided with multiple mating holes 3221. The multiple mating holes 3221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the hoop 32. When the operator adjusts the fastening cavity 323 to the appropriate size, the protrusion 3211 can be passed through the corresponding mating hole 3221 to achieve the locking of the hoop 32.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, a protrusion 3211 is provided at the first end 321 and protrudes radially outward toward the fastening cavity 323, and a plurality of mating holes 3221 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the band 32 at the tail end 322.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, another embodiment of the food processor of the present invention includes the cup body assembly of the present invention.

[0070] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the fastening ring 3 can serve as a connecting structure to fix the cup body 1 and the mounting bracket 2. Compared with the solution of "direct assembly of cup body 1 and mounting bracket 2", the processing precision of cup body 1 and mounting bracket 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing problems such as cup bursting and water leakage caused by cup assembly problems, so as to reduce the defect rate after cup assembly. In addition, the above-mentioned cup assembly method is simple and low in cost.

[0071] For example, the food processor can be a high-speed blender.
