Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliances, and more particularly to a food processor cup assembly and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, 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. However, some food processors have poorly sealed lids, making users susceptible to burns during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a food processor cup assembly and a food processor, which improves the sealing effect of the sealing structure and can prevent users from being burned during use.

[0004] This application provides a cooking cup assembly, including:

[0005] The cooking cup body, including the walls that surround and form the rim; and

[0006] A cooking cup lid, which can be placed on the cooking cup body, has a raised structure on its outer surface;

[0007] A sealing structure is installed at the bottom of the cooking cup lid, and a protruding structure is located above the sealing structure. When the cooking cup lid is placed on the cooking cup body, the sealing structure presses against the inner side of the cooking cup wall. The protruding structure is at least partially located inside the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall, and has a gap between it and the inner side of the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall in the horizontal direction.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the protruding structure is at least partially located inside the opening of the cup formed by the wall of the cooking cup, and has a gap between it and the inner side of the opening formed by the wall of the cooking cup in the horizontal direction. This can prevent the cooking cup lid from moving in the horizontal direction. The protruding structure can limit the position of the cooking cup lid, so as to avoid a large difference in the interference fit on both sides of the sealing structure caused by the cooking cup lid being biased. This will result in insufficient interference fit on one side of the sealing structure, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing structure, improving the sealing effect of the sealing structure, and preventing the user from being burned during use.

[0009] Furthermore, the minimum distance between the protruding structure and the inner surface of the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall in the horizontal direction is less than one-third of the maximum interference of the sealing structure. In some embodiments, such a distance between the protruding structure and the inner surface of the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall in the horizontal direction is appropriate, resulting in better sealing performance of the sealing structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the portion of the protruding structure located within the rim of the cooking cup, as enclosed by the cup wall, has a vertical dimension of not less than 3 mm. In some embodiments, this effectively restricts the position of the cooking cup lid, resulting in better sealing performance of the sealing structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the cooking cup lid includes a lid body and a mounting portion, the mounting portion extending downward from the lower surface of the lid body; the sealing structure is sleeved on the bottom end of the mounting portion, and the protruding structure extends laterally from the outer side of the mounting portion. In some embodiments, the protruding structure extends laterally from the outer side of the mounting portion, which facilitates the processing of the protruding structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the protruding structure is connected to the lower surface of the cup lid body. In some embodiments, there is no gap between the protruding structure and the lower surface of the cup lid body, making it easier to clean.

[0013] Furthermore, the cooking cup lid includes a lid body and a mounting portion, the mounting portion and the protruding structure extending downward from the lower surface of the lid body, with a gap between the outer surface of the mounting portion and the protruding structure; the sealing structure is fitted onto the bottom end of the mounting portion. In some embodiments, this facilitates the processing of the protruding structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the side surface of the protruding structure near the wall of the cooking cup includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends downward and laterally inward at an incline. The second portion is connected to the first portion and extends downward and laterally inward from the lower end of the first portion at an incline. The slope of the second portion relative to the vertical direction is greater than the slope of the first portion relative to the vertical direction. In some embodiments, the slope of the second portion relative to the vertical direction is greater than the slope of the first portion relative to the vertical direction. During the process of the cooking cup lid being placed on the cooking cup body, the second portion can play a guiding role. At the same time, this allows space for deformation of the sealing structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the first portion is parallel to the wall of the cooking cup. In some embodiments, such a protruding structure is less prone to deformation when it collides with the wall of the cooking cup.

[0016] Furthermore, the raised structure includes a plurality of ribs, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cooking cup lid. In some embodiments, such a sealing structure provides better sealing performance.

[0017] Furthermore, the cooking cup lid is square in shape, and each side of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid is provided with at least one of the aforementioned ribs. In some embodiments, this ensures the sealing effect of the sealing structure while simplifying the structural design.

[0018] Furthermore, the total number of the raised ribs on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid in the first direction is greater than the total number of the raised ribs on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid in the second direction; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular in the horizontal plane. In some embodiments, this can prevent the sealing structure from twisting.

[0019] Furthermore, the raised structure extends circumferentially along the lid of the cooking cup. In some embodiments, this arrangement results in a smaller difference in interference fit between the two sides of the sealing structure.

[0020] This application provides a food processor, which includes:

[0021] A base, including a base and a support extending upward from the base;

[0022] The cooking cup assembly as described in any of the above embodiments is assembled onto the base;

[0033] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the blending cup assembly and blender of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments and implementation methods can be combined with each other.

[0034] Figure 1 The image shown is a perspective cross-sectional view of a food processor 100 according to an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a food processor 100, which can be a blender, kettle, coffee maker, or other similar device. In some embodiments, the blender may include a high-speed blender, soy milk maker, juicer, or baby food maker; this application does not impose any limitations. The food processor 100 includes a base 10, a food processor cup assembly 11, and a lid 12.

[0035] The base 10 includes a base 13 and a support 14 extending upward from the base 13. The support 14 and the base 13 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then assembled together.

[0036] The cooking cup assembly 11 is assembled to the base 13. The cooking cup assembly 11 can be detachably assembled to the base 13, so that the cooking cup assembly 11 can be disassembled for cleaning. Among them, the support base 14 can be assembled to one side of the base 13, and the cooking cup assembly 11 can be assembled to the other side of the base 13, so the layout is more compact and reasonable.

[0037] The machine cover 12 is assembled to the support base 14, and the machine cover 12 covers the cooking cup assembly 11. In one embodiment, the machine cover 12 is rotatably assembled to the support base 14. In another embodiment, the machine cover 12 is detachably assembled to the support base 14, and the machine cover 12 can be disassembled vertically. The machine base 10 and the machine cover 12 can be in the shape of a "匚" to wrap the cooking cup assembly 11.

[0038] Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional exploded view of the cooking cup assembly 11 of the cooking machine 100 shown. Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 A longitudinal sectional view of the cooking cup assembly 11 of the cooking machine 100 shown. Figure 4 As shown Figure 3 An enlarged view of the partial part 11a of the cooking cup assembly 11 shown. Figure 5 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the cooking cup cover 18 of the cooking cup assembly 11 of the cooking machine 100 shown. Refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the present application provides a cooking cup assembly 11, which includes a cooking cup body 15, a cooking cup cover 18 and a sealing structure 19.

[0039] The cooking cup body 15 can be used to hold the ingredients to be whipped. The cooking cup body 15 includes an annular cooking cup wall 17, and the cross-section of the cooking cup wall 17 can be square or circular, which is not limited in the present application.

[0040] The cooking cup cover 18 can cover the cooking cup body 15. A convex structure 20 is convexly provided on the outer surface of the cooking cup cover 18. The sealing structure 19 is installed at the bottom of the cooking cup cover 18, and the convex structure 20 is located above the sealing structure 19. When the cooking cup cover 18 covers the cooking cup body 15, the sealing structure 19 presses against the inner side surface of the cooking cup wall 17. At least part of the convex structure 20 is located within the cup mouth surrounded by the cooking cup wall 17, and there is a gap between the convex structure 20 and the inner side surface of the cup mouth surrounded by the cooking cup wall 17 in the horizontal direction. In this way, the cooking cup cover 18 can be prevented from moving in the horizontal direction, and the position of the cooking cup cover 18 can be restricted by the convex structure 20 to avoid a large difference in the interference amount on both sides of the sealing structure 19 caused by the deviation of the cooking cup cover 18, resulting in insufficient interference amount on one side of the sealing structure 19, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing structure 19, improving the sealing effect of the sealing structure 19, and avoiding scalding the user during use.

[0041] In one embodiment, the minimum distance between the protruding structure 20 and the inner surface of the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall 17 in the horizontal direction is less than one-third of the maximum interference of the sealing structure 19. The maximum interference of the sealing structure 19 refers to the difference between its maximum horizontal length when not subjected to external force and the distance between the corresponding cooking cup lid 18 and the inner surface of the cooking cup wall 17 in the horizontal direction. This appropriate distance between the protruding structure 20 and the inner surface of the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall 17 in the horizontal direction results in better sealing performance of the sealing structure 19.

[0042] In one embodiment, the portion of the protruding structure 20 located within the cup opening formed by the cooking cup wall 17 has a vertical dimension H of not less than 3mm, i.e., H≥3mm. This can effectively limit the position of the cooking cup lid 18, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing structure 19.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cooking cup lid 18 includes a lid body 21 and a mounting portion 22. When the cooking cup lid 18 is placed on the cooking cup body 15, the lid body 21 covers the opening formed by the cooking cup wall 17, preventing dust from falling into the cooking cup body 15. The mounting portion 22 extends downward from the lower surface of the lid body 21. The mounting portion 22 can be annular, and its cross-section can be circular or square, with the shape of the cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the cooking cup wall 17. When the cooking cup lid 18 is placed on the cooking cup body 15, the mounting portion 22 extends into the cooking cup wall 17. A sealing structure 19 is fitted onto the bottom end of the mounting portion 22, and a protruding structure 20 extends laterally from the outer side of the mounting portion 22, thus facilitating the processing of the protruding structure 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the protruding structure 20 is connected to the lower surface of the lid body 21. In this embodiment, the lid body 21 includes a top wall 23 and a side wall 24, the side wall 24 being connected to the top wall 23 and surrounding it circumferentially. When the cooking cup lid 18 is placed on the cooking cup body 15, the side wall 24 presses against the upper surface of the cooking cup wall 17. The upper surface of the protruding structure 20 is connected to the upper surface of the top wall 23. This eliminates gaps between the protruding structure 20 and the lower surface of the lid body 21, making cleaning easier.

[0045] In another embodiment, the mounting portion 22 and the protruding structure 20 extend downward from the lower surface of the cup lid body 21, and there is a gap between the outer surface of the mounting portion 22 and the protruding structure 20. The protruding structure 20 can extend downward from the lower surface of the lid top wall 23. This facilitates the processing of the protruding structure 20.

[0046] In one embodiment, the side surface of the protruding structure 20 near the cooking cup wall 17 includes a first portion 25 and a second portion 26. The first portion 25 extends downward and laterally inward at an incline. The first portion 25 may extend downward and laterally inward from the lower surface of the lid body 21. There may also be a gap between the first portion 25 and the lower surface of the lid body 21. In one embodiment, the first portion 25 is parallel to the cooking cup wall 17. Specifically, the first portion 25 may be parallel to the inner side of the cooking cup wall 17. This prevents the protruding structure 20 from deforming when it collides with the cooking cup wall 17. The second portion 26 is connected to the first portion 25 and extends downward and laterally inward from the lower end of the first portion 25 at an incline. The slope of the second portion 26 relative to the vertical direction is greater than the slope of the first portion 25 relative to the vertical direction. Thus, during the process of the cooking cup lid 18 covering the cooking cup body 15, the second portion 26 can act as a guide, and at the same time, it allows space for the deformation of the sealing structure 19.

[0047] In one embodiment, the raised structure 20 includes a plurality of raised ribs 27, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cooking cup lid 18. The raised ribs 27 can be arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the cooking cup lid 18, or they can be arranged at non-uniform intervals. The presence of multiple raised ribs 27 improves the sealing performance of the sealing structure 19.

[0048] See also Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cooking cup lid 18 is square in shape, wherein the cross-section of the mounting portion 22 can be square, and the cross-section of the corresponding cooking cup wall 17 can be square. Each side of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 is provided with at least one raised rib 27. Each side of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 can be provided with one, two, three, or more raised ribs 27, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing structure 19 while simplifying the structural design.

[0049] In one embodiment, the total number of ribs 27 on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 in the first direction X is greater than the total number of ribs 27 on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 in the second direction Y. The number of ribs 27 on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 in the first direction X may be equal or unequal. The number of ribs 27 on opposite sides of the outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 in the second direction Y may be equal or unequal. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular in the horizontal plane. This prevents the sealing structure 19 from twisting. In this embodiment, the cooking cup body 15 includes a handle 28 disposed outside the cooking cup wall 17, and a spout 29 is provided at the upper end of the cooking cup wall 17. The handle 28 and the spout 29 are disposed opposite each other in the first direction X. The outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 has three raised ribs 27 on the side near the handle 28 in the first direction X, and two raised ribs 27 on the side near the spout 29 in the first direction X, which can avoid the spout 29. The outer surface of the cooking cup lid 18 has one raised rib on one side and one raised rib on the opposite side in the second direction Y.

[0050] In another embodiment, the raised structure 20 extends circumferentially along the cooking cup lid 18. This arrangement results in a smaller difference in interference fit between the two sides of the sealing structure 19.

[0051] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
