Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food processing, in particular to a food processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing of people's living standards, there are many different types of food processors on the market. The functions of the food processor can mainly include, but are not limited to, making soy milk, juicing, making rice paste, mincing meat, shaving ice, making coffee and / or mixing mask, etc. The food processor can include a soy milk maker, a blender or a blender, etc. The existing food processor includes a base, a cover and a stirring cup assembly. During the use of the food processor, water and steam are easy to enter the base and contact the electronic components, which has a safety hazard and affects the service life of the food processor. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The present application provides a food processor which has high safety and longer service life in use.

[0004] The present application provides a food processor. The food processor comprises a base, a stirring cup assembly assembled on the base, and a cover assembled on the support seat and covering the stirring cup assembly. The support seat comprises a drainage cavity with an opening facing upward, which is isolated from the internal space of the support seat. The support seat further comprises an outer wall and a drainage hole provided on the outer wall, which is in communication with the drainage cavity and located at the bottom end of the drainage cavity. Since the support seat comprises the drainage cavity with an opening facing upward, water falling from the cover or accidentally falling on the cover or the support seat when the user adds water into the stirring cup assembly will fall into the drainage cavity and finally be drained out of the drainage hole. In this way, water is prevented from entering the internal space of the support seat and further entering the base to contact the electronic components in the base, thereby eliminating the safety hazard and prolonging the service life of the food processor.

[0005] Further, the base is provided with a first electronic assembly, the cover is provided with a second electronic assembly, the first electronic assembly and the second electronic assembly are electrically connected through wires, the support seat is provided with a first wire hole for the wires to pass through, and the cover is provided with a second wire hole for the wires to pass through. In this way, the electrical connection between the first electronic assembly and the second electronic assembly is realized, and the drainage cavity and the drainage hole are provided for drainage, which can prevent water or steam from entering the base or the cover to contact the first electronic assembly and the second electronic assembly through the first wire hole and the second wire hole.

[0006] Further, the first wire hole is located higher than the drainage hole. In this way, water falling into the drainage cavity will be drained out of the drainage hole, preventing water from entering the base through the first wire hole.

[0007] Further, the first wire hole and the second wire hole are respectively provided with a sealing wire buckle, and the wire is arranged through the sealing wire buckle. By arranging the sealing wire buckle at the first wire hole and the second wire hole, sealing can be formed to avoid water from entering the base and the cover from the first wire hole and the second wire hole.

[0008] Further, the sealing wire buckle is used to clamp the wire, or the sealing wire buckle is integrally formed with the wire through a rubber injection molding process. In this way, sealing is formed between the sealing wire buckle and the wire, and the waterproof effect is good.

[0009] Further, the sealing wire buckle comprises two oppositely arranged clamping walls, and the inner side of the two clamping walls is provided with a protruding rib surrounding the first wire hole or the second wire hole, and the protruding rib is in interference fit with the support seat or the cover. By arranging the protruding rib surrounding the first wire hole and the second wire hole, and forming sealing between the protruding rib and the support seat or the cover, water can be prevented from entering the base and the cover from the first wire hole and the second wire hole, and the waterproof effect is good.

[0010] Further, the first electronic component is a power supply component, and the second electronic component is a control component. By avoiding stacking the control component and the power supply component in the base, the height of the base can be reduced, and the height of the food processor can be effectively reduced, so that the food processor is more compact and exquisite as a whole, and occupies less space.

[0011] Further, the drainage cavity has a water guide wall extending to the outer wall, and the drainage hole is located at the bottom end of the water guide wall. By arranging the water guide wall, water falling into the drainage cavity can be guided to the drainage hole, and the drainage effect is better.

[0012] Further, the cover comprises a connecting end rotationally connected with the support seat, and the drainage cavity is located below the connecting end. When the cover is opened by rotating around the connecting end, the condensed water on the cover slides down along the surface of the cover, and finally falls into the drainage cavity from the connecting end. In this way, the condensed water on the cover can all fall into the drainage cavity and be drained out through the drainage hole.

[0013] Further, the top end of the base is provided with a recess, the connecting end is rotationally connected with the base in the recess, and the drainage cavity is in communication with the recess. In this way, the connecting end is rotationally connected with the base in the recess, so that the structure of the food processor is more compact, and the condensed water on the cover is more easily to fall into the drainage cavity, and the waterproof effect is better.

[0021] 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 lid 30.

[0022] 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 they can be formed separately and then assembled together.

[0023] A mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled onto the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21, a heating plate 22, and a blade assembly 23. The heating plate 22 and the blade assembly 23 are disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate 22 is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is used to mix and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21. A lid 30 is assembled onto the support base 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20.

[0024] The support base 12 includes an upward-facing drainage cavity 121, which is isolated from the internal space of the support base 12. In some embodiments, the internal space of the support base 12 forms a receiving cavity 123, which is isolated from the drainage cavity 121. The support base 12 also includes an outer wall 125 and a drainage hole 122 disposed on the outer wall 125. The drainage hole 122 communicates with the drainage cavity 121 and is located at the bottom end of the drainage cavity 121.

[0025] Since the support base 12 includes an upward-facing drain chamber 121, water falling from the cover 30 during use, or water accidentally spilled onto the cover 30 or support base 12 when the user adds water to the blending cup assembly 20, will fall into the drain chamber 121 and eventually be discharged from the drain hole 122. This prevents water from entering the support base 12 and thus prevents water from entering the base 10 and coming into contact with the electronic components inside the base 10, thereby eliminating safety hazards and extending the service life of the blender.

[0026] The base 10 houses a first electronic component, and the cover 30 houses a second electronic component. The first and second electronic components are electrically connected via a wire 19. The support 12 has a first wire hole 129 for the wire 19 to pass through, and the cover 30 has a second wire hole 39 for the wire 19 to pass through. This achieves electrical connection between the first and second electronic components. Furthermore, by providing a drainage chamber 121 and a drainage hole 122 for drainage, water or steam can be prevented from entering the base 10 or cover 30 through the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39 and coming into contact with the first and second electronic components. In the illustrated embodiment, the first electronic component is housed within a receiving cavity 123 of the support 12, but this is not a limitation.

[0027] The cover 30 includes a cover housing 37 and a panel 36. The cover housing 37 and the panel 36 together form a cavity 300. The second electronic component is housed in the cavity 300. The second electronic component includes a control component 31. The panel 36 is provided with a control unit. The control unit is connected to the control component 31 and is used to input control commands to the control component 31.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first wire hole 129 is located higher than the drain hole 122, meaning the bottom wall of the first wire hole 129 is higher than the bottom wall of the drain hole 122. This allows water falling into the drain chamber 121 to drain out through the drain hole 122, preventing water from entering the base 10 through the first wire hole 129.

[0029] Sealing buckles 124 are respectively provided at the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39, and the wire 19 passes through the sealing buckles 124. The sealing buckles 124 are used to seal the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39. By providing sealing buckles 124 at the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39, a sealed state can be formed to prevent water from entering the base 10 and the cover 30 from the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39. The sealing buckles 124 are made of a soft material, such as silicone, but not limited to this.

[0030] In one embodiment, the sealing buckle 124 secures the wire 19. In another embodiment, the sealing buckle 124 is integrally formed with the wire 19 using a rubber-coating injection molding process. Thus, a seal is formed between the sealing buckle 124 and the wire 19, providing good waterproofing.

[0031] The sealing buckle 124 includes two opposing clamping walls 125. The inner sides of the two clamping walls 125 are provided with protruding ribs 126 surrounding the first wire hole 129 or the second wire hole 39. The protruding ribs 126 interfere with the support base 12 or the cover 30. The two clamping walls 125 are used to clamp the support base 12 or the cover 30. By providing the protruding ribs 126 surrounding the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39, and forming a seal between the protruding ribs 126 and the support base 12 or the cover 30, water can be prevented from entering the base 10 and the cover 30 through the first wire hole 129 and the second wire hole 39, resulting in good waterproofing.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the first electronic component is the power supply component 13, and the second electronic component is the control component 31. Avoiding stacking the control component 31 and the power supply component 18 within the base 11 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 occupying less space.

[0033] The drainage cavity 121 has a water-guiding wall 127 extending to the outer wall 125, and the drainage hole 122 is located at the bottom end of the water-guiding wall 127. By providing the water-guiding wall 127, water falling into the drainage cavity 121 can be guided to the drainage hole 122, resulting in better drainage. In the illustrated embodiment, the water-guiding wall 127 extends downwards from the inside out.

[0034] The cover 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12. The cover 30 includes a connecting end 38 rotatably connected to the support base 12, and the drain cavity 121 is located below the connecting end 38. When the cover 30 is rotated open around the connecting end 38, the condensate on the cover 30 slides downwards along the surface of the cover 30 and finally falls into the drain cavity 121 from the connecting end 38. In this way, all the condensate on the cover 30 falls into the drain cavity 121 and is discharged through the drain hole 122.

[0035] The base 10 has a recessed cavity 17 at its top. The connecting end 38 is rotatably connected to the base 10 within the recessed cavity 17, and the drain cavity 121 communicates with the recessed cavity 17. Thus, the rotatable connection of the connecting end 38 within the recessed cavity 17 to the base 10 makes the food processor 100 more compact, and allows condensate on the lid 30 to more easily fall into the drain cavity 121, resulting in better waterproofing.

[0036] The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a lid 25 that covers the mixing cup 21. (See also...) Figure 2 The cup lid 25 and the machine cover 30 are formed as a single unit. This simplifies the structure of the stirring cup assembly 20.

[0037] 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.
