Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a base 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 a food processor 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. Existing food processors include a base, a blending cup assembly, and a lid, but some parts are prone to falling into the base and are not easy to remove. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a base and a food processor that make it easy to remove parts that have fallen into the base.
[0004] This application provides a base. The base includes a base and a support seat disposed on the base. The support seat has a wire hole for a lead wire to pass through. A housing is disposed within the support seat. The housing includes a top wall, a rib extending upward from the top wall, and a cavity adjacent to the rib. The cavity is located below the wire hole. The rib has a through hole communicating with the cavity and a surrounding rib adjacent to the through hole. The surrounding rib extends away from the cavity. By providing a surrounding rib adjacent to the through hole and extending away from the cavity, the gap between the surrounding rib and the inner wall of the support seat is reduced. Thus, certain components, such as shafts, after falling into the cavity, will not enter the space between the rib and the inner wall of the support seat through the through hole, thereby facilitating the removal of the shaft or similar components.
[0005] Furthermore, a power supply component is also provided inside the support base. This power supply component is assembled into the housing to form a power assembly, and it is located below the top wall. Because the power supply component is located below the top wall, water entering the support base through the wire hole will fall into the cavity and drain away through the through hole, thereby preventing water from contacting the power supply component.
[0006] Furthermore, the box body has a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end. The power supply component is located at the front end, and the rear end has a drainage surface adjacent to the partition rib. The through hole connects the cavity and the drainage surface. Because the power supply component is located at the front end of the box body and the drainage surface is located at the rear end, water falling into the cavity is drained away through the drainage surface, thus better preventing water from contacting the power supply component.
[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs include side ribs located on both sides of the through hole and bottom ribs located at the bottom end of the through hole. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from entering between the ribs and the inner wall of the support base from the sides and bottom of the through hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom rib is provided with a notch for water to fall onto the drainage surface. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from entering between the partition rib and the inner wall of the support base, while also ensuring smooth drainage.
[0009] Furthermore, the gap between the retaining rib and the drainage surface is no more than 3 mm. This prevents components such as falling shafts from getting stuck between the retaining rib and the drainage surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the support base includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and an upper wall. The wire hole passes through the upper wall, and the gap between the reinforcing rib and the inner wall is no more than 3 mm. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from falling off due to gaps between the reinforcing rib and the inner wall of the support base.
[0011] Furthermore, the housing includes a baffle extending upward from the top wall, and the baffle, the baffle, and the top wall together form the cavity. This ensures that all falling water enters the cavity, preventing water from contacting the power supply components.
[0012] Furthermore, the base includes a base housing and a bottom cover disposed at the bottom end of the base housing, the bottom cover being provided with a water outlet. By providing the water outlet, water falling from the drainage surface is ultimately discharged from the base through the water outlet.
[0013] Furthermore, the height of the bottom wall of the through hole is not lower than the height of the drainage surface, and the height of the bottom wall of the cavity is not lower than the height of the bottom wall of the through hole. In this way, water falling into the cavity from the wire hole can flow more smoothly through the through hole to the drainage surface, resulting in better drainage.
[0014] Furthermore, the height of the drainage surface gradually decreases from the middle to both ends, and the two ends of the drainage surface are respectively connected to the two sides of the box body. In this way, water flowing from the through hole to the drainage surface can flow towards the two ends of the drainage surface and fall down from the two sides of the box body.
[0015] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base as described above; a mixing cup assembly assembled to the base; and a lid assembled to the support base via a pivot. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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 30, and a motor 40.
[0024] 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 separately formed and then assembled together. The support 12 is provided with a wire hole 122 for the lead wire to pass through.
[0025] The mixing cup assembly 20 is assembled on the base 11. The mixing cup assembly 20 includes a mixing cup, a heating plate (not shown), and a blade assembly (not shown). The heating plate and the blade assembly are located at the bottom of the mixing cup 21. The mixing cup is used to hold food ingredients, the heating plate is used to heat the food ingredients in the mixing cup, and the blade assembly is used to stir and pulverize the food ingredients in the mixing cup.
[0026] The support base 12 is provided with a box 121. The box 121 includes a top wall 1211, a partition 1212 extending upward from the top wall 1211, and a cavity 1214 adjacent to the partition 1212. The cavity 1214 is located below the wire hole 122. The partition 1212 is provided with a through hole 1216 communicating with the cavity 1214 and a surrounding rib 1217 adjacent to the through hole 1216. The surrounding rib 1217 extends away from the cavity 1214.
[0027] By setting a surrounding rib 1217 adjacent to the through hole 1216, and extending the surrounding rib 1217 away from the cavity 1214, the gap between the surrounding rib 1217 and the inner wall of the support base 12 is small. In this way, after some components, such as the rotating shaft 39, fall into the cavity 1214, they will not enter the space between the rib 1212 and the inner wall of the support base 12 through the through hole 1216, thus making it convenient to remove the rotating shaft 39.
[0028] The support base 12 also houses a power supply component 13, which is assembled into the housing 121 to form a power supply assembly 18. The power supply component 13 is located below the top wall 1211. Because the power supply component 13 is located below the top wall 1211, water entering the support base 12 through the wire hole 122 will fall into the cavity 1214 and drain away through the through hole 1216, thereby preventing water from contacting the power supply component 13.
[0029] The housing 121 has a front end 1219 and a rear end 1218 opposite to the front end 1219. The power supply component 13 is disposed at the front end 1219, and the rear end 1218 has a drainage surface 1215 adjacent to the partition 1212. The through hole 1216 connects the cavity 1214 and the drainage surface 1215. Because the power supply component 13 is disposed at the front end 1219 of the housing 121 and the drainage surface 1215 is disposed at the rear end 1218 of the housing 121, water falling into the cavity 1214 is drained away through the drainage surface 1215, which can better prevent water from contacting the power supply component 13.
[0030] The power supply component 13 can be a wired or wireless power source, such as a power board or a storage battery, and is not limited thereto. The power supply component 13 can be fixed to the housing 121 by means of fasteners, clips, adhesives, etc.
[0031] In one embodiment, the control component is disposed within the cover 30. Since the control component is disposed within the cover 30 and the power component 18 is disposed within the support base 12, the space within the cover 30 can accommodate the control component, and the space within the support base 12 can accommodate the power component 18. This avoids stacking the control component and power component 18 within the base 11, thus reducing the height of the base 11 and consequently the overall height of the food processor 100, making the food processor 100 more compact and aesthetically pleasing, occupying less space. The lower overall height of the food processor 100 also reduces vibrations generated during operation. Furthermore, this arrangement of the control component and power component 18 ensures a greater distance between them, preventing electromagnetic interference between them.
[0032] The surrounding rib 1217 includes side ribs 12171 located on both sides of the through hole 1216 and bottom ribs 12172 located at the bottom end of the through hole 1216. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from entering between the partition rib 1212 and the inner wall of the support base 12 from the sides and bottom end of the through hole 1216. In the illustrated embodiment, the surrounding rib 1217 also includes a top rib 12174 located at the top of the through hole 1216.
[0033] The bottom rib 12172 is provided with a notch 12173 for water to fall onto the drainage surface 1215. In this way, the surrounding rib 1217 prevents components such as rotating shafts from entering between the partition rib 1212 and the inner wall of the support base 12, while also enabling smooth drainage.
[0034] The gap between the retaining rib 1217 and the drainage surface 1215 is no more than 3 mm. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from getting stuck between the retaining rib 1217 and the drainage surface 1215.
[0035] The support base 12 includes an outer wall 125, an inner wall 126, and an upper wall 127. The wire hole 122 passes through the upper wall 127, and the gap between the reinforcing rib 1217 and the inner wall 126 is no more than 3 mm. This prevents components such as rotating shafts from falling out of the support base 12.
[0036] The housing 121 includes a baffle 1213 extending upward from the top wall 1211. The baffle 1212, the baffle 1213, and the top wall 1211 together form the cavity 1214. This ensures that all falling water enters the cavity 1214, preventing water from contacting the power supply component 13.
[0037] The rotating shaft 39 includes a shaft portion 391 and a mounting portion 392, and the rotating shaft 39 is assembled to the cover 30 via the mounting portion 392. This allows for convenient assembly of the rotating shaft 39 to the cover 30. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting portion 392 is a snap-fit structure, but it is not limited to this.
[0038] The support base 12 is provided with a bushing 129, and the rotating shaft 39 is rotatably engaged with the bushing 129. In this way, the rotating shaft 39 can rotate more reliably relative to the support base 12.
[0039] The base 11 includes a base housing 111 and a bottom cover 112 disposed at the bottom end of the base housing 111. The bottom cover 112 is provided with a water outlet hole 1121. By providing the water outlet hole 1121, water falling from the drainage surface 1215 is finally discharged from the base through the water outlet hole 1121.
[0040] The height of the bottom wall of the through hole 1216 is not lower than the height of the drainage surface 1215, and the height of the bottom wall of the cavity 1214 is not lower than the height of the bottom wall of the through hole 1216. In this way, water falling into the cavity 1214 from the wire hole 122 can flow more smoothly through the through hole 1216 to the drainage surface 1215, resulting in better drainage.
[0041] The height of the drainage surface 1215 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends, and the two ends of the drainage surface 1215 are respectively connected to the two sides of the box body 121. In this way, the water flowing from the through hole 1216 to the drainage surface 1215 can flow towards the two ends of the drainage surface 1215 and fall down from the two sides of the box body 121.
[0042] 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.
