Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a blending cup 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 machines that pulverize and blend food, such as soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders. Food processors include a blending cup, which consists of a cup body and a handle. Currently, when assembling the handle to the cup body, it is easy for the handle to be installed upside down. This makes it inconvenient for users to grip the handle, leading to rework during manufacturing due to the upside-down handle, thus increasing labor costs and affecting assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a blending cup and a food processor that can prevent the handle from being installed upside down, thereby avoiding rework and improving efficiency.

[0004] This application provides a mixing cup. The mixing cup includes: a cup body, comprising a cup main body and a mounting portion disposed on the cup main body; and a handle, comprising a mounting bracket and a handle body. The mounting bracket includes a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first connecting end is connected to the mounting portion, and the second connecting end includes a connecting post and a boss. The handle body includes a retaining rib. The connecting post is connected to the handle body. The boss and the retaining rib are located on opposite sides of the connecting post, and the projections of the retaining rib and the boss on the same side surface of the connecting post at least partially overlap. Because the boss and the retaining rib are located on opposite sides of the connecting post, and the projections of the boss and the retaining rib on the same side surface of the connecting post at least partially overlap, when the handle body is inverted, the retaining rib and the boss will interfere, preventing the handle body from being installed correctly when inverted. This ensures that the handle body can be assembled onto the cup body in the correct orientation, thus avoiding rework, reducing labor costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0005] Furthermore, the boss and the stop rib are located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting post, respectively; or, the boss and the stop rib are located on the left and right sides of the connecting post, respectively. This ensures that the handle body can be assembled onto the cup body in the correct orientation, avoiding incorrect assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the boss and the connecting post are integrated into one unit. This simplifies the manufacturing of the mounting bracket and makes the structure more stable.

[0007] Furthermore, the handle body includes a receiving cavity, the baffle is disposed within the receiving cavity, and the mounting bracket is fixed within the receiving cavity. In this way, on the one hand, the handle body can conceal the mounting bracket within the receiving cavity, which is beneficial to the aesthetic appearance of the handle; on the other hand, it makes the overall structure of the handle more compact and reliable.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting post has a threaded hole, and the handle body includes a limiting wall disposed within the receiving cavity. The limiting wall forms a limiting groove that mates with the connecting post, and the limiting wall has a through hole corresponding to the threaded hole. A threaded connector passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole. Thus, by having the threaded connector pass through the through hole and be screwed into the threaded hole, the handle body and the mounting bracket can be reliably fixed together.

[0009] Furthermore, the retaining rib extends from the limiting wall toward the cup body. This simplifies the overall structure of the handle body and makes it easier to mold.

[0010] Furthermore, the second connecting end includes a snap fastener, and the handle body includes a snap fastener groove disposed within the receiving cavity. The snap fastener passes through the snap fastener groove and forms an abutment engagement with the end wall of the end of the snap fastener groove. When the handle body is assembled onto the mounting bracket, the snap fastener passes through the snap fastener groove and abuts against the end of the snap fastener groove, thereby achieving positioning of the handle body and facilitating operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting portion includes a first engaging portion, and the first connecting end includes a second engaging portion that mates with the first engaging portion. Through the engagement of the first and second engaging portions, the mounting bracket and the mounting portion can be connected.

[0012] Furthermore, the first connecting end includes a receiving groove for accommodating the first fastening part, and the second fastening part is disposed at the end of the receiving groove, wherein the first fastening part engages with the second fastening part within the receiving groove. Thus, by engaging the first fastening part with the second fastening part within the receiving groove, the engagement between the first and second fastening parts is more stable and reliable, and less prone to detachment.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle also includes a handle cover that covers the handle body. Thus, the handle cover conceals the connection structure between the second connecting end and the handle body, preventing dirt and grime from accumulating and also making the handle more aesthetically pleasing.

[0014] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base; and a blending cup assembly assembled on the base. The blending cup assembly includes a blending cup, a heating plate, and a blade assembly as described above, with the heating plate and the blade assembly disposed at the bottom of the blending cup. This makes the handle more aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor 100 includes a base 50 and a blending cup assembly 60 assembled on the base 50.

[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, the food processor 100 also includes a lid 30, the base 50 includes a base 51 and a support 52 disposed on the base 51, the mixing cup assembly 60 is assembled on the base 51, and the lid 30 is assembled on the support 52.

[0026] The mixing cup assembly 60 includes a mixing cup 61, a heating plate 62, and a blade assembly (not shown). The heating plate 62 and the blade assembly are disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 61. The mixing cup 61 is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate 62 is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup 61, and the blade assembly is used to mix and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup 61.

[0027] The motor is located within the base 51 or at the bottom of the mixing cup 61. The motor drives the blade assembly to rotate. In one embodiment, the motor is assembled within the base 51, and the motor's output shaft is connected to the blade assembly via a clutch structure. In another embodiment, the motor is assembled at the bottom of the mixing cup 61, and the motor's output shaft is directly connected to the blade assembly.

[0028] The mixing cup 61 includes a cup body 10 and a handle 20 for a user to grip. The cup body 10 includes a cup body 12 and a mounting portion 11 disposed on the cup body 12.

[0029] The handle 20 includes a mounting bracket 21 and a handle body 22. The mounting bracket 21 includes a first connecting end 211 and a second connecting end 212. The first connecting end 211 is connected to the mounting part 11. The second connecting end 212 includes a connecting post 2122 and a boss 2129. The handle body 22 includes a retaining rib 229. The connecting post 2122 is connected to the handle body 22. The boss 2129 and the retaining rib 229 are located on opposite sides of the connecting post 2122, and the projections of the retaining rib 229 and the boss 2129 on the same side surface of the connecting post 2122 at least partially overlap. The mounting bracket 21 can be made of plastic or metal, and the handle body 22 can be made of plastic or metal. The phrase "relative sides" in "the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting post 2122" includes the case where the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are directly opposite each other on both sides of the connecting post 2122, and also the case where the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are not directly opposite each other on both sides of the connecting post 2122. That is to say, the distance between the baffle 229 and the two ends of the boss 2129 in the circumferential direction can be equal or unequal. In other words, after the baffle 229 rotates 180 degrees around the center line of the connecting post 2122, it will inevitably interfere with the boss 2129.

[0030] Since the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are located on opposite sides of the connecting post 2122, and the projections of the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 on the same side surface of the connecting post 2122 at least partially overlap, when the handle body 22 is inverted, the baffle 229 and the boss 2129 will interfere, causing the handle body 22 to fail to be installed in place when inverted. This ensures that the handle body 22 can be assembled in the correct direction onto the cup body 10, thus avoiding rework, reducing labor costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting post 2122, respectively. In other embodiments, the boss 2129 and the baffle 229 are located on the left and right sides of the connecting post 2122, respectively. This ensures that the handle body 22 can be assembled into the cup body 10 in the correct orientation, avoiding incorrect assembly.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the boss 2129 and the connecting post 2122 are integrated. This simplifies the manufacturing of the mounting bracket 21 and makes the structure more stable. In other embodiments, a gap may exist between the boss 2129 and the connecting post 2122.

[0033] The handle body 22 includes a receiving cavity 223, the baffle 229 is disposed in the receiving cavity 223, and the mounting bracket 21 is fixed in the receiving cavity 223. In this way, on the one hand, the handle body 22 can hide the mounting bracket 21 in the receiving cavity 223, which is beneficial to the aesthetic appearance of the handle 20, and on the other hand, it makes the overall structure of the handle 20 more compact and reliable.

[0034] The connecting post 2122 has a screw hole 2127. The handle body 22 includes a limiting wall 224 disposed within the receiving cavity 223. The limiting wall 224 forms a limiting groove 225 that mates with the connecting post 2122. The limiting wall 224 also has a through hole 222 corresponding to the screw hole 2127. A threaded connector passes through the through hole 222 and is screwed into the screw hole 2127. Thus, by passing the threaded connector through the through hole 222 and screwing it into the screw hole 2127, the handle body 22 and the mounting bracket 21 can be reliably fixed together.

[0035] In some embodiments, the baffle 229 extends from the limiting wall 224. The baffle 229 extends from the limiting wall 224 toward the cup body 10, or it may extend upwards or downwards from the limiting wall 224. In the illustrated embodiment, the baffle 229 extends from the limiting wall 224 toward the cup body 10. In other embodiments, the baffle 229 extends vertically or obliquely from the side wall of the receiving cavity 223. This simplifies the overall structure of the handle body 22 and makes it easier to mold.

[0036] The second connecting end 212 includes a latch 2121, and the handle body 22 includes a latch groove 221 disposed in the receiving cavity 223. The latch 2121 passes through the latch groove 221 and forms an abutment engagement with the end wall of the latch groove 221. When the handle body 22 is assembled onto the mounting bracket 21, the latch 2121 passes through the latch groove 221 and abuts against the end of the latch groove 221, thereby achieving positioning of the handle body 22 and facilitating operation.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting portion 11 includes a first engaging portion 111, and the first connecting end 211 includes a second engaging portion 2111 that engages with the first engaging portion 111. The engagement of the first engaging portion 111 and the second engaging portion 2111 allows the mounting bracket 21 to be connected to the mounting portion 11. In other embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 and the mounting portion 11 can also be connected using other structures, and are not limited thereto.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting end 211 includes a receiving groove 2112 for accommodating the first fastening part 111. The second fastening part 2111 is disposed at the end of the receiving groove 2112, and the first fastening part 111 engages with the second fastening part 2111 within the receiving groove 2112. The term "end" here includes not only the end of the receiving groove 2112 but also the portion near the end of the receiving groove 2112. Thus, by engaging the first fastening part 111 with the second fastening part 2111 within the receiving groove 2112, the engagement between the first fastening part 111 and the second fastening part 2111 is more stable and reliable, and less prone to detachment.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting end 211 includes a notch 2118 communicating with the receiving groove 2112, and the first fastening part 111 is inserted into the receiving groove 2112 through the notch 2118. Thus, the first fastening part 111 can be easily inserted into the receiving groove 2112, thereby simplifying the connection between the first connecting end 211 and the mounting part 11 and making assembly easier.

[0040] The handle 20 also includes a handle cover 23, which covers the handle body 22. The handle cover 23 can be made of plastic or metal. In this way, the handle cover 23 can cover the connection structure between the second connection end 212 and the handle body 22, which on the one hand prevents dirt from accumulating, and on the other hand makes the handle 20 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] The handle cover 23 is assembled to the handle body 22 via a snap-fit ​​structure. In this way, the handle cover 23 can be easily assembled to the handle body 22 without the need for threaded connectors, making the handle 20 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0042] Specifically, the handle cover 23 has several latching parts 230 at its edge, and the handle body 22 has several slots 220 that respectively engage with the latching parts 230. In this way, the handle cover 23 can be stably and reliably assembled to the handle body 22.

[0043] 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.
