Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a lid 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. However, existing food processors have a problem where condensation from the lid flows onto the machine body when the lid is opened, potentially affecting the safety of internal electrical components. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a lid assembly and a food processor that can improve the safety and lifespan of the food processor.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this specification, a cover assembly is provided, comprising: a cover body including an upper cover and a lower cover assembled with the upper cover, wherein a receiving cavity is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover, and the lower cover is provided with a track groove; and

[0005] A bracket assembly is rotatably mounted on the appliance body. The bracket assembly includes a bracket and a slider. The slider is located within the receiving cavity and on one side of the lower cover. The bracket is located on the other side of the lower cover. The bracket or the slider includes a guide post passing through the track groove, and the bracket and the slider are fixed together by the guide post.

[0006] As the guide post slides along the extension direction of the track groove, the lid can be displaced relative to the support assembly. This allows the lid to be pushed backward a certain distance before flipping up, ensuring that the lid is positioned at the rear of the blender when flipped up. This facilitates user operations such as placing and removing the blending cup and opening the lid. Furthermore, condensation on the lid after flipping up will not flow onto the base, preventing water from entering the internal electrical components and thus improving the blender's safety and lifespan.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower cover is provided with a sliding rib protruding into the receiving cavity, and the slider is provided with a sliding recess adapted to the sliding rib, and the sliding rib is arranged parallel to the trajectory groove. This prevents the cover from swaying left or right during sliding, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cover's movement trajectory.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower cover is provided with a sliding rib extending away from the slider, and the bracket is provided with a sliding recess that matches the sliding rib, with the sliding rib arranged parallel to the track groove. This prevents the cover from swaying left or right during sliding, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cover's movement trajectory.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance between the inner wall of the sliding recess and the outer wall of the sliding rib is 'a', which ranges from 0.05mm to 1mm. This ensures, on the one hand, that the sliding rib has sufficient room to move within the sliding recess, preventing jamming or a significant increase in sliding resistance; on the other hand, it ensures that the lateral sway of the cover during sliding is strictly controlled within an acceptable, minimal range.

[0010] Furthermore, the track groove has two sections, and the sliding rib is located between the two track grooves. Thus, the double limiting effect of the sliding rib and the track groove ensures the linear movement of the cover. Simultaneously, the lateral force or torque on the cover is evenly transmitted to the track grooves on both sides and the sliding rib in the middle, avoiding unilateral overload and ensuring strong motion stability.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first part and a second part connected to the first part. The second part is provided with the guide post, which passes through the track groove and is fixedly connected to the slider. The first part is provided with a rotating shaft. In this way, the cover can move relative to the bracket assembly through the sliding engagement of the guide post and the track groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the slider is provided with a guide post, which passes through the track groove and is fixedly connected to the bracket. Thus, the cover can move relative to the bracket assembly through the sliding engagement of the guide post and the track groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower cover is provided with an inwardly recessed groove, within which the second part is placed. This optimizes the spatial layout and reduces the overall height. In addition, the sidewalls of the recessed groove naturally form a guiding structure, preventing the second part from swaying left or right during sliding, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cover's movement trajectory.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower cover is provided with a limiting rib protruding into the receiving cavity, the limiting rib being arranged around the trajectory groove, and the slider slidingly engaging with the limiting rib. Thus, the sliding engagement between the slider and the limiting rib makes the slider's sliding more stable.

[0015] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this specification, a food processor is provided, comprising:

[0016] The base includes a base and a support extending upward from the base, wherein the electrical body is the support.

[0017] The stirring cup assembly is assembled on the base; and

[0018] The lid assembly described in the first aspect is rotatably connected to the support base. Thus, when the lid is flipped up, it is positioned at the rear of the blender. This facilitates user operations such as placing and removing the blending cup and opening the lid. Simultaneously, condensation on the lid after flipping up will not flow onto the base, preventing water from entering the internal electrical components and thus improving the safety and lifespan of the blender.

[0019] This application has the following beneficial effects: Since the lid can be displaced relative to the support assembly, the lid is moved backward a certain distance before opening the lid assembly, so that the lid assembly is located behind the base after opening. In this way, the condensate on the lid assembly will not flow onto the base, preventing water from entering the base and contacting the electrical components inside the base, thereby improving the safety and service life of the food processor; in addition, it facilitates the user's operation of picking up and putting away the mixing cup assembly, etc.

[0020] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this specification. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0029] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] The embodiments described in this specification will now be described in detail.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, the food processor can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor includes a base 10, a mixing cup assembly 20, and a lid assembly 30.

[0032] 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 separately formed and then assembled together. The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled on the base 11. The lid assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the support 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover assembly 30 includes a cover body 31 and a support assembly 32. The cover body 31 includes an upper cover 311 and a lower cover 312 assembled with the upper cover 311. A receiving cavity 313 is formed between the upper cover 311 and the lower cover 312. The lower cover 312 is provided with a track groove 314. The track groove 314 extends from rear to front, where "rear" refers to the side away from the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0034] The bracket assembly 32 is rotatably mounted on the electrical appliance body. The bracket assembly 32 includes a bracket 321 and a slider 322. The slider 322 is located within the receiving cavity 313 and is situated on one side of the lower cover 312. The bracket 321 is located on the other side of the lower cover 312, and the bracket 321 and slider 322 are fixed together. This fixing can be achieved using screws or clips, etc., to facilitate future disassembly and replacement. In this embodiment, the electrical appliance body is a support base 12.

[0035] As the support assembly 32 slides along the extension direction of the track groove 314, the lid 31 can be displaced relative to the support assembly 32. Because the lid 31 can be displaced relative to the support assembly 32, before opening the lid assembly 30, the lid 31 is moved backward a certain distance, so that the lid assembly 30 is located behind the base 10 after opening. In this way, the condensed water on the lid assembly 30 will not flow onto the base 10, preventing water from entering the interior of the base 10 and contacting the electrical components inside the base 10, thereby improving the safety and service life of the food processor; in addition, it facilitates the user's operation such as taking and putting away the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower cover 312 is provided with a sliding rib 315 protruding into the receiving cavity 313, and the slider 322 is provided with a sliding recess 3221 that matches the sliding rib 315, and the sliding rib 315 is arranged parallel to the track groove 314. In this way, the left and right swaying of the cover 31 during the sliding process can be prevented, and the accuracy and stability of the movement trajectory of the cover 31 can be guaranteed.

[0037] In another embodiment, the lower cover 312 is provided with a sliding rib 315 protruding away from the slider 322, and the bracket 321 is provided with a sliding recess 3221 adapted to the sliding rib 315, and the sliding rib 315 is arranged parallel to the track groove 314.

[0038] Furthermore, the distance between the inner wall of the sliding recess 3221 and the outer wall of the sliding rib 315 is 'a', where 'a' ranges from 0.05mm to 1mm. For example, 'a' could be 0.05mm, 0.06mm, 0.075mm, or 1mm, etc. This ensures, on the one hand, that the sliding rib 315 has sufficient room to move within the sliding recess 3221, preventing jamming or a significant increase in sliding resistance. On the other hand, it ensures that the lateral sway of the cover 31 during sliding is strictly controlled within an acceptable, small range.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two track grooves 314, and a sliding rib 315 is located between the two track grooves 314. In this way, the linear movement of the cover 31 is ensured by the double limiting of the sliding rib 315 and the track grooves 314. At the same time, the lateral force or torque on the cover 31 is evenly transmitted to the two track grooves 314 on both sides and the middle sliding rib 315, avoiding unilateral overload and ensuring strong motion stability.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bracket 321 includes a first part 3211 and a second part 3212 connected to the first part 3211. The second part 3212 is provided with a guide post (not shown in the figure). The guide post passes through the track groove 314 and is fixed to the slider 322. The first part 3211 is provided with a rotating shaft 3214. In this way, the bracket 321 and the slider 322 are fixed by the guide post. The rotating shaft 3214 cooperates with the shaft hole on the base 10, and the cover assembly 30 can be opened and closed by rotating it.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slider 322 is provided with a guide post 3222, which passes through the track groove 314 and is fixedly connected to the bracket 321. In this embodiment, the bracket 321 is provided with a track block 3213, which has a cavity with an open top. When the guide post 3222 passes through the track groove 314 and is placed in the cavity, it is positioned, and the slider 322 and the bracket 321 are fixedly installed by screws or the like. Thus, the cover 31 moves relative to the bracket assembly 32 through the sliding engagement of the guide post 3222 and the track groove 314.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower cover 312 has an inwardly recessed groove 316, and the second part 3212 is placed inside the groove 316. This optimizes the spatial layout and reduces the overall height. In addition, the sidewall of the recessed groove 316 naturally forms a guiding structure to prevent the second part 3212 from swaying left and right during sliding, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement trajectory of the cover 31.

[0043] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower cover 312 is provided with a limiting rib 317 protruding into the receiving cavity 313. The limiting rib 317 is arranged around the track groove 314, and the slider 322 is slidably engaged with the limiting rib 317. In this way, the sliding of the slider 322 is more stable through the sliding engagement between the slider 322 and the limiting rib 317.

[0044] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all 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.
