Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature measurement structure technology, and in particular to a temperature measurement structure for a food processor and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors currently on the market require high accuracy in measuring the temperature of the liquid inside the blending cup, such as the temperature of soy milk in a soy milk maker. This is because an accurate temperature of the soy milk solution can control the heating and cooking time of the soy milk, preventing it from being undercooked, burnt, or scorched, thus ensuring good soy milk quality and improving the user experience.

[0003] Existing temperature sensing structures typically include a temperature probe mounted on a heating element. When the blender cup is placed on its base, the probe rests directly against the bottom of the cup to measure the temperature. However, with this structure, the probe is easily affected by the heating element, leading to inaccurate temperature readings and potential deviations.

[0004] Therefore, the temperature measuring structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a temperature measuring structure for a food processor. By inserting a sleeve through the bottom of the cup body, and setting the top plate of the sleeve away from the bottom of the cup body with a heat insulation ring between them, the top plate can be avoided from being affected by the heating element at the bottom of the cup body, making it closer to the temperature of the food and liquid inside the cup. The temperature measuring probe is inserted into the sleeve and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate to detect the temperature. It can detect the temperature closest to the food and liquid inside the cup, which is more helpful for cooking foods with high temperature control requirements.

[0006] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a food processor that includes the aforementioned temperature measuring structure.

[0007] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0017] As an optional implementation, the top wall of the heat insulation ring abuts against the top plate portion, and the bottom wall of the heat insulation ring abuts against the bottom of the cup body to achieve a waterproof seal.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the outer edge of the top plate is bent downward to form a folded edge, which abuts against the top wall of the heat insulation ring to achieve a waterproof seal between the two.

[0019] The inner sidewall of the folded edge, the bottom wall of the top plate, and the outer sidewall of the main body form a groove; the top wall of the heat insulation ring is also provided with a rib, which extends into the groove and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate to achieve a secondary waterproof seal between the two.

[0020] The bottom wall of the heat insulation ring abuts against the bottom wall of the cup body to achieve a waterproof seal between the two.

[0021] The second objective of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0022] A food processor includes a cup holder and the aforementioned temperature measuring structure, wherein:

[0023] The cup body can be detachably placed on the cup holder;

[0024] The cup holder is equipped with a heating plate, and the temperature probe is disposed through the heating plate;

[0025] When the cup is placed on the cup holder, the bottom of the cup is in contact with the heating plate to achieve heating, and at the same time the temperature probe extends into the sleeve and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate to achieve temperature detection.

[0054] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] See Figures 1 to 6 This application first provides a temperature measuring structure 1 for a food processor, including a cup body 11, a sleeve 13, a heat insulation ring 15, and a temperature measuring probe 14. The cup body 11 has a food processing cavity 111 inside. The sleeve 13 passes through the bottom of the cup body 11. Specifically, the sleeve 13 includes a cylindrical main body 131 and a top plate 132 covering the top of the main body 131. The main body 131 passes through the bottom of the cup body 11, and the top plate 132 is located inside the food processing cavity 111 and away from the bottom of the cup body 11. The heat insulation ring 15 is disposed between the top plate 132 and the bottom of the cup body 11. The temperature measuring probe 14 extends from bottom to top into the main body 131 and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate 132 of the sleeve 13 to achieve temperature measurement.

[0057] Therefore, by inserting a sleeve 13 through the bottom of the cup body 11, and setting the top plate 132 of the sleeve 13 away from the bottom of the cup body 11 and setting a heat insulation ring 15 between the two, the top plate 132 can be avoided from being affected by the heating element at the bottom of the cup body, making it closer to the temperature of the food and liquid inside the cup. The temperature probe 14 is inserted into the sleeve 13 and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate 132 to detect the temperature. It can detect the temperature closest to the food and liquid inside the cup, which is more helpful for cooking some foods with high temperature control requirements.

[0058] In this embodiment, the temperature probe 14 is an NTC temperature probe.

[0059] Preferably, the temperature probe 14 and the sleeve 13 are detachable; when the cup body 11 needs to be cleaned, the temperature probe 14 and the sleeve 13 can be separated. At this time, the cup body 11 does not have any temperature measuring element, so it can be put into the dishwasher for cleaning, which is convenient.

[0060] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 It also includes a heat transfer plate 12 that is attached to the bottom of the cup body 11 to conduct heat. Preferably, the heat transfer plate 12 is an aluminum plate and is welded to the bottom of the cup body 11. The main body 131 of the sleeve 13 passes through the heat transfer plate 12. A gap is left between the outer wall of the temperature probe 14 and the inner wall of the main body 131. This arrangement can avoid the temperature probe 14 being affected by the heat transfer between the sleeve 13 and the heat transfer plate 12, and further improve the measurement accuracy of the temperature probe 14.

[0061] Furthermore, it also includes a locking member 16; the locking member 16 is threadedly connected to the portion of the main body 131 that extends out of the heat transfer plate 12 to lock and fix the sleeve 13 to the bottom of the cup body 11. Specifically, the locking member 16 is a locking nut, the inner side of which has an internal thread 161; the outer wall of the main body 131 has an external thread 1311 that matches the internal thread 161, and the locking nut is threadedly connected to the external thread 1311 on the outer wall of the main body 131 through the internal thread 161 to lock and fix the sleeve 13.

[0062] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 The top wall of the heat insulation ring 15 abuts against the top plate portion 132, and the bottom wall of the heat insulation ring 15 abuts against the inner bottom of the cup body 11 to achieve a waterproof seal. Specifically, the outer edge of the top plate portion 132 is bent downward to form a folded edge 133, and the bottom of the folded edge 133 abuts against the top wall of the heat insulation ring 15 to achieve a waterproof seal between the two; the inner side wall of the folded edge 133, the bottom wall of the top plate portion 132, and the outer side wall of the main body portion 131 form a groove 134; the top wall of the heat insulation ring 15 is also provided with a rib 151, which extends into the groove 134 and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate portion 132 to achieve a secondary waterproof seal between the two; the bottom wall of the heat insulation ring 15 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the cup body 11 to achieve a waterproof seal between the two.

[0063] Therefore, by setting the heat insulation ring 15, it not only serves as heat insulation, but also provides a waterproof seal between the sleeve 13 and the bottom of the cup body 11, achieving two goals at once.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] See Figure 7-10 This utility model also provides a food processor, including a cup holder 2 and the temperature measuring structure 1 of the above embodiment 1; wherein, the cup body 11 is detachably placed on the cup holder 2, the cup holder 2 is provided with a heating plate 21, and the temperature measuring probe 14 is disposed through the heating plate 21. Thus, when the cup body 11 is placed on the cup holder 2, the bottom of the heat transfer plate 12 is in contact with the heating plate 21 to achieve heating, and at the same time, the temperature measuring probe 14 extends into the sleeve 13 and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate 132 to achieve temperature measurement.

[0066] More specifically, it also includes a fixed bracket 22 installed at the bottom of the heating plate 21 and a movable bracket 23 that can move up and down through the fixed bracket 22; preferably, it also includes a spring 24 sleeved on the movable bracket 23, the upper and lower ends of which abut against the movable bracket 23 and the fixed bracket 22 respectively, thereby realizing the elastic fixation of the movable bracket 23 on the fixed bracket 22. The top of the movable bracket 23 passes through the heating plate 21, and the temperature probe 14 is installed on the top of the movable bracket 23; thus, when the cup body 11 is placed on the cup holder 2, the sleeve 13 abuts against the temperature probe 14 and drives the movable bracket 23 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 24 and move downward; and when the cup body 11 is removed from the cup holder 2, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 24, the movable bracket 23 can be driven to move upward to achieve reset.

[0067] Therefore, by setting up the movable bracket 23 and the spring 24, when the cup body 11 is placed on the cup seat 2, the sleeve 13 abuts against the temperature probe 14 and compresses the spring 24. That is, under the reaction of the spring 24, the temperature probe 14 can be driven to press tightly against the sleeve 13, thereby preventing the temperature probe 14 from shifting and ensuring the reliability of temperature measurement.

[0068] Additionally, a triggering mechanism is included within the cup holder 2. This triggering mechanism includes a micro switch 25 located below the fixed bracket 22 and a control board electrically connected to the micro switch 25. The control board is electrically connected to the temperature probe 14. Thus, when the cup body 11 is placed on the cup holder 2, the sleeve 13 can abut against the temperature probe 14 and drive the movable bracket 23 to move downwards, triggering the micro switch 25. The micro switch 25 sends a signal to the control board, which controls the temperature probe 14 to operate and achieve temperature detection.

[0069] Therefore, by setting a trigger mechanism, the temperature detection can be activated only after the cup body 11 is placed in the cup holder 2, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of temperature detection.

[0070] In summary, this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0071] (a) The temperature measuring structure 1 for the food processor of this utility model is provided by inserting a sleeve 13 through the bottom of the cup body 11, and the top plate 132 of the sleeve 13 is set away from the bottom of the cup body 11 and a heat insulation ring 15 is set between the two. This arrangement can avoid the top plate 132 being affected by the heating element at the bottom of the cup body, so that it is closer to the temperature of the food and liquid inside the cup. The temperature measuring probe 14 is inserted into the sleeve 13 and abuts against the bottom wall of the top plate 132 to realize temperature detection. It can detect the temperature closest to the food and liquid inside the cup, which is more helpful for cooking some foods with high temperature control requirements.

[0072] (ii) The temperature measuring structure 1 for the food processor of this utility model can be separated from the temperature measuring probe 14 and the sleeve 13. When the cup body 11 needs to be cleaned, since the cup body 11 does not have any temperature measuring element, it can be put into the dishwasher for cleaning, which is convenient.

[0073] (iii) The temperature measuring structure 1 for the food processor of this utility model has a gap between the outer wall of the temperature measuring probe 14 and the inner wall of the main body 131. This arrangement can avoid the temperature measuring probe 14 being affected by the heat transfer of the sleeve 13 and the heat transfer plate 12, and further improve the measurement accuracy of the temperature measuring probe 14.

[0074] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
