Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to 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. Existing food processors are large and tall, taking up a lot of space and prone to vibration during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a food processor with a smaller overall height, occupying less space, and generating less vibration during use.

[0004] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base, comprising a base and a support extending upward from the base, wherein the support or the base is provided with a power supply component and a first wireless communication module; a blending cup assembly assembled on the base; and a remote control, comprising a housing, an electronic control component, and a second wireless communication module, wherein the electronic control component and the second wireless communication module are disposed within the housing, and the second wireless communication module communicates with the first wireless communication module. Because the electronic control component is disposed within the remote control, the space within the remote control can be utilized to accommodate the electronic control component, avoiding stacking the electronic control component within the base. This reduces the height of the base, thereby effectively reducing the height of the food processor, making the overall food processor more compact and space-saving. The lower overall height of the food processor also reduces vibration during operation. Furthermore, the wireless communication via the first and second wireless communication modules allows users to remotely operate and monitor the food processor, improving user experience and convenience.

[0005] Furthermore, the support or base is provided with a mounting position. When the remote control is placed in the mounting position, the first electrode and the second electrode abut against each other to form an electrical connection. By providing the first electrode and the second electrode, when the remote control is placed in the mounting position, the first electrode and the second electrode abut against each other to form an electrical connection, thereby enabling the remote control to be charged.

[0006] Furthermore, the first electrode is configured as a resilient contact, so that when the remote control is placed in the mounting position, the first electrode resiliently abuts against the second electrode; or, the second electrode is configured as a resilient contact, so that when the remote control is placed in the mounting position, the second electrode resiliently abuts against the first electrode. This allows for a more reliable electrical connection between the first and second electrodes.

[0007] Furthermore, the remote control includes a battery for powering the electronic control components. This allows the battery to continuously power the electronic control components, preventing power outages when the remote control is used remotely.

[0008] Furthermore, the remote control also includes an interface for transmitting data or charging the battery. This interface allows for both charging the battery via an external power source and data transmission.

[0009] Furthermore, the remote control also includes a display screen and a panel, with the display screen fixed to the housing and the panel covering the display screen. In this way, the display screen can show information such as the food processor's usage status, making it more convenient for users to use and operate.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer casing has a recess, and the mounting position has a protrusion that corresponds to and engages with the recess. The recess and protrusion work together to position the remote control.

[0011] Furthermore, the support base includes reinforcing ribs surrounding the mounting position. These reinforcing ribs assist in positioning the remote control.

[0012] Furthermore, the remote control also includes a magnetic component disposed on the housing, and the support base includes a base magnetic component that engages with the magnetic component. The engagement of the magnetic component and the base magnetic component allows the remote control to be positioned in its mounting location.

[0013] Furthermore, the magnetic attractor includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element spaced apart from the first magnetic element. The end of the second magnetic element facing the support base has different magnetic poles than the end of the first magnetic element facing the support base. The base magnetic attractor includes a first base magnetic element that engages with the first magnetic element and a second base magnetic element that engages with the second magnetic element. This prevents the remote control from being placed in an incorrect orientation.

[0014] Furthermore, the mixing cup assembly includes a mixing cup, a heating plate, and a blade assembly, with the heating plate and the blade assembly disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup.

[0015] Furthermore, the blending cup assembly includes a lid covering the blending cup, the lid having a vent located at the end of the lid furthest from the remote control. This prevents steam from spraying onto the remote control during operation of the blender, thus ensuring the remote control's stable and reliable performance. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor 100 includes a base 10, a blending cup assembly 20, and a remote control 30.

[0024] The base 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12 extending upward from the base 11. The support 12 and the base 11 can be integrally formed or formed separately and then assembled together. The support 12 or the base 11 is provided with a power supply assembly 18, a first wireless communication module, and a first electrode 17, the first electrode 17 being electrically connected to the power supply assembly 18. The power supply assembly 18 can be a wired power supply or a wireless power supply, such as a power board or an energy storage battery, and is not limited thereto. The first wireless communication module can be integrated into the power supply assembly 18 or can be independent of the power supply assembly 18.

[0025] The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled on the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, a heating plate, and a blade assembly. The heating plate and the blade assembly are disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly is used to mix and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21.

[0026] The remote control 30 includes a housing 39, an electronic control component 31, a second wireless communication module, and a second electrode 33. The electronic control component 31 and the second wireless communication module are disposed within the housing 39. The second electrode 33 is electrically connected to the electronic control component 31, and the second wireless communication module communicates with the first wireless communication module. The housing 39 includes a housing body 399 and a cover 398. The electronic control component 31 is fixed between the housing body 399 and the cover 398. The electronic control component 31 can be a control circuit board or a controller, but is not limited to these. The second wireless communication module can be integrated into the electronic control component 31 or independent of it. The second electrode 33 can be disposed on the housing body 399 or on the cover 398.

[0027] In one embodiment, both the first and second wireless communication modules are Wi-Fi modules. In another embodiment, both the first and second wireless communication modules are Bluetooth modules. These are just some examples and are not limited to.

[0028] The support 12 or the base 11 is provided with a mounting position 120. When the remote controller 30 is placed in the mounting position 120, the first electrode 17 and the second electrode 33 abut against each other to form an electrical connection.

[0029] Since the electronic control component 31 is located inside the remote control 30, the space inside the remote control 30 can be used to accommodate the electronic control component 31, avoiding stacking the electronic control component 31 inside the base 11. This reduces the height of the base 11, thereby effectively reducing the height of the food processor 100, making the food processor 100 more compact and aesthetically pleasing, and taking up less space. Because the overall height of the food processor 100 is lower, the vibration generated during operation can be reduced. Furthermore, wireless communication is achieved through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module, allowing users to remotely operate and monitor the food processor 100 through the remote control 30, which improves user experience and convenience.

[0030] By setting the first electrode 17 and the second electrode 33, when the remote control 30 is placed in the mounting position 120, the first electrode 17 and the second electrode 33 abut against each other to form an electrical connection, thereby enabling the remote control 30 to be charged.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first electrode 17 is configured as a resilient contact, which elastically abuts against the second electrode 33 when the remote control 30 is placed in the mounting position 120. In another embodiment, the second electrode 33 is configured as a resilient contact, which elastically abuts against the first electrode 17 when the remote control 30 is placed in the mounting position 120. This allows for a more reliable electrical connection between the first electrode 17 and the second electrode 33.

[0032] The remote control 30 includes a battery 37 for supplying power to the electronic control component 31. Thus, the battery 37 can continuously supply power to the electronic control component 31, preventing power outages when the remote control 30 is used remotely. The battery 37 can be a rechargeable battery or a storage battery, etc.

[0033] The remote control 30 is also provided with an interface 36 for transmitting data or charging the battery 37. By providing the interface 36, the battery 37 can be charged by an external power source, and data can be transmitted, such as for operating system upgrades or reading data from the food processor.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the remote control 30 further includes a display screen 34 and a panel 35. The display screen 34 is fixed to the housing 39, and the panel 35 covers the display screen 34. Thus, the display screen 34 can display information such as the usage status of the food processor 100, making it more convenient for users to use and operate. In some embodiments, the display screen 34 can be a touch LCD screen or a traditional digital touch screen. In other embodiments, the display screen 34 can be operated using mechanical principles such as microswitches.

[0035] The outer casing 39 has a recess 391, and the mounting position 120 has a protrusion 129 that corresponds to and engages with the recess 391. The recess 391 and the protrusion 129 work together to position the remote control 30. In the illustrated embodiment, the outer casing 39 has recesses 391 on opposite sides, and the mounting position 120 has corresponding protrusions 129, thus making the positioning of the remote control 30 more stable. The number and position of the recesses 391 and the mounting position 120 are not limited.

[0036] The support base 12 includes a surrounding rib 125 around the mounting position 120. The surrounding rib 125 assists in positioning the remote controller 30. The surrounding rib 125 can be a full circle or a half circle, and is not limited thereto.

[0037] The recess 391 has a different distance from both ends of the outer casing 39. Thus, when the remote control 30 is placed upside down in the mounting position 120, the recess 391 cannot engage with the protrusion 129, preventing the remote control 30 from being positioned in the mounting position 120, thereby ensuring that the remote control 30 can only be placed in the mounting position in the correct orientation.

[0038] The remote control 30 also includes a magnetic member 38 disposed on the housing 39, and the support base 12 includes a base magnetic member 128 that engages with the magnetic member 38. The engagement of the magnetic member 38 and the base magnetic member 128 can position the remote control 30 on the mounting position 120.

[0039] The magnetic suction component 38 includes a first magnetic component 381 and a second magnetic component 382 spaced apart from the first magnetic component 381. The end of the second magnetic component 382 facing the support base 12 has different magnetic poles than the end of the first magnetic component 381 facing the support base 12. The base magnetic suction component 128 includes a first base magnetic component 1281 that engages with the first magnetic component 381 and a second base magnetic component 1282 that engages with the second magnetic component 382. Because the end of the second magnetic component 382 facing the support base 12 has different magnetic poles than the end of the first magnetic component 381 facing the support base 12, if the remote control 30 is placed in the opposite direction on the mounting position 120, a repulsive force is generated between the first base magnetic component 1281 and the second magnetic component 382, ​​and simultaneously, a repulsive force is generated between the second base magnetic component 1282 and the first magnetic component 381. This prevents the remote control 30 from being positioned incorrectly on the mounting position 120, thus avoiding incorrect placement of the remote control 30.

[0040] The blending cup assembly 20 includes a lid 25 covering the blending cup 21. The lid 25 has a vent 258 located at the end of the lid 25 furthest from the remote control 30. This prevents steam from spraying onto the remote control 30 when the blender 100 is operating, thus ensuring the stable and reliable performance of the remote control 30.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
