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. A food processor consists of a base, a mixing cup assembly, and a lid. Existing food processors have a steam venting structure that allows steam to easily enter the lid, and their complex structure makes them difficult to clean. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a food processor that effectively prevents steam from entering the lid, and has a simple structure that is easy to clean.
[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, the blending cup assembly including a blending cup and a lid covering the blending cup; and a lid assembly assembled on the support, the lid assembly covering the blending cup assembly; wherein the lid includes a cover body and a grip extending upward from the cover body, the grip having a vent hole communicating with the cavity of the blending cup to the outside. Because the grip has a vent hole communicating with the cavity of the blending cup to the outside, steam generated inside the blending cup is directly discharged through the vent hole, preventing steam from rising and passing through the lid assembly, thereby preventing steam from entering the lid assembly and contacting the electronic components inside the lid assembly, providing good safety and stability; at the same time, the lid structure is simple and easy to clean; furthermore, the grip on the lid facilitates user operation of the lid.
[0005] Furthermore, the grip portion includes a top wall, two opposing first walls, and two opposing second walls. The two second walls are located at both ends of the two first walls, and the top wall is located at the top of the two first walls and the two second walls. At least one of the second walls has the vent hole, and the two first walls extend in a left-right direction. In this way, the user can operate the cup lid by holding the two first walls, avoiding burns to their hands. Since the first walls extend in a left-right direction, the two second walls are located on the left and right sides of the two first walls, meaning the vent holes are located on the left and right sides of the grip portion, allowing steam to escape from the left and right sides of the grip portion. This prevents steam from harming the user and makes use safer.
[0006] Furthermore, the length of the first wall is greater than the length of the second wall. Because the first wall is longer than the second wall, the steam can escape into the atmosphere through a shorter path after exiting the vent.
[0007] Furthermore, each of the two outer sides of the first wall is provided with a gripping part. This facilitates the user's gripping and operation of the gripping part.
[0008] Furthermore, the mixing cup includes a positioning boss at its top, and the lid includes a positioning rim that cooperates with and limits the positioning boss. The cooperation of the positioning boss and the positioning rim facilitates the user in correctly placing the lid on the mixing cup, preventing incorrect installation.
[0009] Furthermore, the lid is equipped with a magnetic element, and the mixing cup is correspondingly equipped with a magnetic switch. The magnetic switch closes under the magnetic force of the magnetic element. This prevents the food processor from starting to operate if the lid is not properly closed, making it safer to use.
[0010] Furthermore, the stirring cup includes a cup body and a cup handle. The cup body has a protrusion, the cup handle is mounted on the protrusion, and the magnetic switch is disposed between the top of the cup handle and the protrusion. The cup lid includes a lid handle portion corresponding to the cup handle, and the magnetic component is disposed on the lid handle portion. This allows for convenient and reliable assembly of the magnetic switch and the magnetic component.
[0011] Furthermore, the cover assembly is recessed radially outward at the position corresponding to the exhaust port to form an air guide channel. Thus, by forming an air guide channel on the cover assembly, the steam discharged from the exhaust port can be quickly discharged into the atmosphere.
[0012] Furthermore, the cover assembly includes an upper housing, a lower housing, and electronic components. The upper housing and the lower housing together form a receiving cavity, the electronic components are disposed within the receiving cavity, and the air guide channel is disposed within the lower housing.
[0013] Furthermore, the cup lid includes a heat-insulating sticker attached to the grip area. By providing the heat-insulating sticker, heat insulation can be achieved, preventing the user's hands from being burned by the heat of steam. Attached Figure Description

[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 mixing cup assembly 20, a lid assembly 30, and a motor 40.
[0022] The base 10 includes a base 11 and a support 12 disposed on 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 on the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup 21 and a lid 22 covering the mixing cup 21. In the illustrated embodiment, a heating plate 24 and a blade assembly 23 are provided at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup 21 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate 24 is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21, and the blade assembly 23 is used to stir and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 21. In the illustrated embodiment, a motor 40 is disposed on the base 11.
[0024] The lid assembly 30 is assembled to the support base 12 and covers the mixing cup assembly 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the lid assembly 30 is rotatably assembled to the support base 12. In other embodiments, the lid assembly 30 is detachably assembled to the support base 12.
[0025] The cup lid 22 includes a lid body 221 and a gripping part 222 extending upward from the lid body 221. The gripping part 222 is provided with an exhaust hole 2223 that connects the cavity of the stirring cup 21 to the outside.
[0026] Because the gripper 222 is provided with an exhaust port 2223 that connects the cavity of the mixing cup 21 to the outside, the steam generated in the mixing cup 21 is directly discharged through the exhaust port 2223, preventing the steam from rising and passing through the cover assembly 30, thereby preventing the steam from entering the cover assembly 30 and contacting the electronic components inside the cover assembly 30, thus providing good safety and stability; at the same time, the cup cover 22 has a simple structure and is easy to clean; in addition, by providing the gripper 222 on the cup cover 22, it is convenient for users to operate the cup cover 22.
[0027] In the illustrated embodiment, the grip portion 222 includes a top wall 2220, two opposing first walls 2221, and two opposing second walls 2222. The two second walls 2222 are located at both ends of the two first walls 2221, and the top wall 2220 is located at the top of the two first walls 2221 and the two second walls 2222. At least one of the second walls 2222 has the vent 2223. The two first walls 2221 extend in a left-right direction. Thus, the user can operate the cup lid 22 by holding the two first walls 2221, avoiding burns. Since the first walls 2221 extend in a left-right direction, and the two second walls 2222 are located on the left and right sides of the two first walls 2221, the vents 2223 are located on the left and right sides of the grip portion 222, allowing steam to escape from the left and right sides of the grip portion 222. This prevents steam from harming the user and makes use safer.
[0028] In the illustrated embodiment, both second walls 2222 are provided with vent holes 2223. In another embodiment, only one second wall 2222 is provided with a vent hole 2223. The first wall 2221 may extend in a straight line, an arc, or a curve, and the second wall 2222 may extend in a straight line, an arc, or a curve, and is not limited thereto.
[0029] The length of the first wall 2221 is greater than the length of the second wall 2222. Because the length of the first wall 2221 is greater than the length of the second wall 2222, the steam can be discharged into the atmosphere through a shorter path after exiting the exhaust port 2223.
[0030] Each of the two first walls 2221 has a gripping portion 2224 on its outer side. This facilitates the user's gripping and operation of the hand gripping portion 222. In some embodiments, the gripping portion 2224 may be a concave portion, a convex portion, or an anti-slip texture, and is not limited thereto.
[0031] The mixing cup 21 includes a positioning boss 211 at its top, and the lid 22 includes a positioning rim 224 that cooperates with and limits the positioning boss 211. The cooperation of the positioning boss 211 and the positioning rim 224 facilitates the user in correctly placing the lid 22 on the mixing cup 21, preventing incorrect installation. In the illustrated embodiment, the mixing cup 21 includes two positioning bosses 211, and the lid 22 includes two positioning rims 224, but this is not a limitation.
[0032] The lid 22 is equipped with a magnetic element 225, and the mixing cup 21 is correspondingly equipped with a magnetic switch 215. The magnetic switch 215 closes under the magnetic force of the magnetic element 225. When the lid 22 is placed on the mixing cup 21, the magnetic switch 215 closes under the magnetic force of the magnetic element 225, allowing the food processor 100 to start working. When the lid 22 is opened, the magnetic switch 215 disengages as it moves away from the magnetic element 225, preventing the food processor 100 from starting to work. This ensures greater safety by preventing the food processor 100 from operating when the lid 22 is not properly closed.
[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, the stirring cup 21 includes a cup body 219 and a cup handle 218. The cup body 219 has a protrusion 2191, and the cup handle 218 is mounted on the protrusion 2191. The magnetic switch 215 is disposed between the top of the cup handle 218 and the protrusion 2191. The cup lid 22 includes a lid handle portion 229 corresponding to the cup handle 218, and the magnetic element 225 is disposed on the lid handle portion 229. This allows for convenient and reliable assembly of the magnetic switch 215 and the magnetic element 225. The cup lid 22 also includes a cover plate 228, which is fixed to the lid handle portion 229 by fasteners, and the magnetic element 225 is fixed between the cover plate 228 and the lid handle portion 229.
[0034] The cover assembly 30 is recessed radially outward at the position corresponding to the exhaust port 2223 to form a venting channel 301. Thus, by forming the venting channel 301 on the cover assembly 30, the steam discharged from the exhaust port 2223 can be quickly discharged into the atmosphere. The bottom surface of the venting channel 301 can be either a slope or a plane.
[0035] The hood assembly 30 includes an upper housing 31, a lower housing 32, and an electronic component 33. The upper housing 31 and the lower housing 32 together form a receiving cavity 34. The electronic component 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 34, and the air guide channel 301 is disposed in the lower housing 32. In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic component 33 is a control circuit board, but it is not limited to this.
[0036] The cup lid 22 includes a heat-insulating sticker 227 attached to the grip portion 222. By setting the heat-insulating sticker 227, heat insulation can be achieved, preventing the user's hands from being burned by the heat of steam.
[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.
