Abstract
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 include a base, lid, and blending cup assembly. During use, water and steam can easily enter the base and come into contact with electronic components, posing a safety hazard and affecting the lifespan of the food processor. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a food processor that offers high safety during use and has a longer service life.
[0004] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base, comprising a base and a support extending upward from the base; a blending cup assembly assembled on the base; and a lid assembled on the support, with the lid covering the blending cup assembly. The support includes an upward-opening drain cavity, and the base has a corresponding drain channel communicating with the outside, with the drain channel communicating with the drain cavity. Because the support includes an upward-opening drain cavity, water falling from the lid during use, or water accidentally spilled onto the lid or support when adding water to the blending cup assembly, will fall into the drain cavity and be drained through the drain channel. This prevents water from entering the base and contacting the electronic components inside, thus eliminating safety hazards and extending the lifespan of the food processor.
[0005] Furthermore, the drainage chamber includes a water-guiding wall and a drainage hole, with the drainage hole located at the bottom end of the water-guiding wall. By providing a water-guiding wall and placing the drainage hole at the bottom end of the water-guiding wall, water falling into the drainage chamber can be collected at the drainage hole and discharged through it. This results in good drainage and prevents water from remaining in the drainage chamber.
[0006] Furthermore, the drainage channel and the drainage chamber are connected by a drainage pipe, with the top end of the drainage pipe connected to the drainage chamber and the bottom end connected to the drainage channel. In this way, water falling into the drainage chamber is guided to the drainage channel via the drainage pipe and then discharged through the drainage channel.
[0007] Furthermore, the drain pipe is assembled between the drain cavity and the drain channel; or, the drain pipe is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the drain cavity; or, the drain pipe is integrally formed with the drain channel.
[0008] Furthermore, a first electronic component is housed within the base, and a second electronic component is housed within the cover. The first and second electronic components are electrically connected via wires. The support base has a first wire hole for the wires to pass through, and the cover has a second wire hole for the wires to pass through. This achieves the electrical connection between the first and second electronic components. Furthermore, by providing a drainage chamber and drainage holes for drainage, water or steam is prevented from entering the base or cover through the first and second wire holes and coming into contact with the first and second electronic components.
[0009] Furthermore, sealing buckles are provided at the first wire hole and the second wire hole respectively, and the wire passes through the sealing buckles. By providing sealing buckles at the first wire hole and the second wire hole, a sealed state can be formed to prevent water from entering the machine base and machine cover from the first wire hole and the second wire hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the sealing buckle secures the wire, or the sealing buckle is integrally formed with the wire through a rubber-coating injection molding process. In this way, a seal is formed between the sealing buckle and the wire, resulting in good waterproofing.
[0011] Furthermore, the sealing wire buckle includes two opposing clamping walls. The inner sides of the two clamping walls are provided with raised ribs surrounding the first or second wire hole. These raised ribs interfere with the support base or the machine cover. By providing raised ribs surrounding the first and second wire holes, and forming a seal between the raised ribs and the support base or machine cover, water can be prevented from entering the machine base and machine cover through the first and second wire holes, resulting in good waterproofing.
[0012] Furthermore, the first electronic component is a power supply component, and the second electronic component is a control component. Avoiding stacking the control component and power supply component within the base reduces the base's height, thereby effectively reducing the overall height of the food processor and making the food processor more compact and aesthetically pleasing, taking up less space.
[0013] Furthermore, a rim is provided at the edge of the top wall of the support. This ensures that water falling onto the support will not flow down the outer wall of the support, but will instead fall entirely into the drainage chamber and eventually be discharged through the drainage channel.
[0014] Furthermore, the cover is rotatably assembled to the support base, and the cover includes a connecting end rotatably connected to the support base, with the drain cavity located below the connecting end. When the cover is rotated open around the connecting end, condensate on the cover slides down the surface of the cover and finally falls into the drain cavity from the connecting end. In this way, all the condensate on the cover falls into the drain cavity and is discharged through the drain hole.
[0015] Furthermore, a recessed cavity is provided at the top of the base, and the connecting end is rotatably connected to the base within the recessed cavity. The drain cavity communicates with the recessed cavity. Thus, the rotatable connection of the connecting end within the recessed cavity to the base makes the food processor structure more compact, and condensation on the lid more easily falls into the drain cavity, resulting in better waterproofing.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 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.
[0023] 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.
[0024] 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. In the illustrated embodiment, the lid 30 is rotatably assembled onto the support base 12.
[0025] The support base 12 includes an upward-facing drainage cavity 121, and the base 11 is provided with a corresponding drainage channel 111 that communicates with the outside, and the drainage channel 111 is connected to the drainage cavity 121.
[0026] 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 be discharged through the drain channel 111. This 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.
[0027] The support base 12 has a rim 123 at the edge of its top wall, so that water falling onto the support base 12 will not flow down the outer wall of the support base 12, but will instead fall entirely into the drainage chamber 121 and eventually be discharged through the drainage channel 111. The drainage channel 111 can be located inside the base 11 or outside the base 11.
[0028] The drainage chamber 121 includes a water-guiding wall 127 and a drainage hole 122, with the drainage hole 122 located at the bottom end of the water-guiding wall 127. By providing the water-guiding wall 127 and placing the drainage hole 122 at its bottom end, water falling into the drainage chamber 121 can be collected at the drainage hole 122 and discharged through it. This results in good drainage and prevents water from remaining in the drainage chamber 121. The water-guiding wall 127 is used to guide water falling into the drainage chamber 121 to the drainage hole 122. The water-guiding wall 127 can be V-shaped or conical, and is not limited to these shapes.
[0029] The drainage channel 111 is connected to the drainage chamber 121 via a drainage pipe 119. The top end of the drainage pipe 119 is connected to the drainage chamber 121, and the bottom end of the drainage pipe 119 is connected to the drainage channel 111. In this way, water falling into the drainage chamber 121 is guided to the drainage channel 111 through the drainage pipe 119 and discharged through the drainage channel 111.
[0030] The drain pipe 119 is assembled between the drain cavity 121 and the drain channel 111; or, the drain pipe 119 is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the drain cavity 121; or, the drain pipe 119 is integrally formed with the drain channel 111.
[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, a surrounding rib 120 is provided around the drain hole 122, the top end of the drain pipe 119 is sleeved on the surrounding rib 120, the top end of the drain channel 111 is provided with a supporting step (not shown), and the bottom end of the drain pipe 119 is supported on the supporting step.
[0032] 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 base 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 is 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] 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.
[0035] 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.
[0036] 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.
[0037] 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.
[0038] 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.
[0039] 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, the condensate on the cover slides down the surface of the cover and finally falls into the drain cavity from the connecting end 38. In this way, all the condensate on the cover 30 falls into the drain cavity and is discharged through the drain hole.
[0040] The top of the base 10 has a recess 17, and the connecting end 38 is rotatably connected to the base 10 within the recess 17. The drain cavity 121 communicates with the recess 17. In this way, the connecting end 38 is rotatably connected to the base within the recess 17, making the food processor structure more compact, and the condensate on the lid 30 can more easily fall into the drain cavity, resulting in better waterproofing.
[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.
