Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processor technology, and in particular to a vertical food processor structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern household life and the food processing industry, food processors have become indispensable devices due to their convenient and efficient food processing capabilities, and are widely used in various scenarios. As users' requirements for ease of use and operational safety continue to increase, the overall structural design of food processors, especially the connection structure between the cup and the main body, is gradually becoming a key factor affecting the user experience and market competitiveness of the product.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream food processors on the market use a screw-on or threaded connection design to achieve quick connection between the cup and the main body. Taking the "Micro Fruit Puree Maker" disclosed in Chinese invention patent document (publication number: CN119817979B) as an example, its cup-to-main body assembly method is typical: during installation, the cup is first placed under the main body, then moved upwards so that the connecting part of the cup enters the preset installation area of ​​the main body. Finally, by rotating the cup clockwise or counterclockwise, the connecting structure of the cup and the main body interlocks, thus completing the fixed assembly.

[0004] However, this connection method, which relies on screws or threads, has obvious defects and safety hazards in actual operation. On the one hand, because the connection structure between the cup body and the machine body (such as screw protrusions and slots, internal and external threads) requires precise alignment to achieve effective engagement, users often need to bend over to observe the connection points between the cup body and the machine body during assembly to confirm whether the connection structures are aligned. This operation not only increases the number of steps for users but also significantly reduces the connection efficiency between the cup body and the machine body. This is especially true for users with poor eyesight or mobility issues, further increasing the difficulty of operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a vertical food processor structure.

[0006] A vertical food processor structure designed for this purpose includes a base, a cup holder, a cup body, a main body, and a sealing component;

[0007] The cup holder is connected to the machine base;

[0008] The cup body is provided with a plug-in component, which is plugged into the cup holder from top to bottom to constrain the cup body to move left and right, forward and backward, and rotate relative to the cup holder;

[0009] The body is rotatably mounted to the base and can move relative to the base between an open position and a closed position; the sealing assembly is connected to the body and moves with the body relative to the base.

[0010] When the body is in the open position, there is a disengagement space between the body and the base, allowing the cup to detach upward relative to the cup base;

[0011] When the body is in the closed position, the sealing component is in contact with the upper surface of the cup.

[0012] Preferably, the cup holder has a downwardly recessed mounting cavity, and the plug-in component is inserted into the mounting cavity from top to bottom. The plug-in component cooperates with the mounting cavity to constrain the cup body to move left and right, forward and backward, and rotate relative to the cup holder.

[0013] Preferably, the cup holder has a downwardly recessed mounting cavity; an assembly element is detachably installed in the mounting cavity, the assembly element has a downwardly recessed positioning cavity, the plug-in component is inserted into the positioning cavity from top to bottom, and the plug-in component cooperates with the positioning cavity to constrain the cup body to move left and right, forward and backward and rotate relative to the cup holder.

[0014] Preferably, the assembly element is inserted into the positioning cavity from top to bottom; the positioning cavity is provided with a plurality of matching slots, and the assembly element is provided with a plug-in block that is inserted into the matching slot from top to bottom.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting cavity has an outwardly penetrating opening on one side, and the assembly element has a handle extending outward through the opening.

[0016] Preferably, both the positioning cavity and the insertion component are non-circular in structure.

[0017] Preferably, both the mounting cavity and the plug-in component have a non-circular structure.

[0018] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a cup lid that can be fitted onto the cup body; the machine body is connected to a cutter shaft, and a cutter head is connected to one end of the cutter shaft near the cup body;

[0019] The cup lid is detachably connected to the machine body or the cutter shaft.

[0020] Preferably, the lower surface of the cup lid is provided with an upwardly recessed annular groove, and the annular groove is provided with a sealing ring;

[0021] When the body is in the closed position, the sealing ring is in contact with the upper surface of the cup.

[0022] Preferably, the machine body is connected to an operating handle.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] Firstly, in this structure, the cup body directly plugs into the cup holder from top to bottom via a connector, and after plugging, it directly restricts the cup body's left-right, forward-backward, and rotational movement relative to the cup holder. This design eliminates the cumbersome steps of "alignment and observation - rotation and engagement" in traditional connection methods. Users do not need to bend over to confirm the connection position; they only need to complete the plugging from top to bottom to achieve initial fixation of the cup body. The operation process is simpler, and even users with poor eyesight or mobility difficulties can easily complete the assembly, greatly improving ease of use and connection efficiency.

[0025] Secondly, this structure ensures the stability of the cup through dual safeguards: on the one hand, the insertion and connection between the cup body and the cup base achieves multi-directional displacement constraint, ensuring reliable initial fixation; on the other hand, the machine body and base are rotatably connected and can move between open and closed positions. When the machine body is in the closed position, it not only further limits the longitudinal movement of the cup body, preventing it from loosening upwards during operation, but also forms additional structural constraints through the sealing component's fit with the upper surface of the cup body. Under this dual fixation, even if the food processor generates centrifugal force at high speed, the cup body is unlikely to shift or fall off, fundamentally reducing the safety hazards of food spillage and collision injuries.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] See Figures 1-5A vertical food processor structure includes a base 10, a cup holder 20, a cup body 30, a main body 40, and a sealing assembly 50. The cup holder 20 is connected to the base 10. The cup body 30 is provided with a plug-in component 310, which plugs into the cup holder 20 from top to bottom to constrain the cup body 30 to move left and right, forward and backward, and rotate relative to the cup holder 20. The main body 40 is rotatably disposed with the base 10 and can move relative to the base 10 between an open position and a closed position. The sealing assembly 50 is connected to the main body 40 and moves with the main body 40 relative to the base 10. When the main body 40 is in the open position, there is a disengagement space between the main body 40 and the base 10, allowing the cup body 30 to detach upward relative to the cup holder 20. When the main body 40 is in the closed position, the sealing assembly 50 is in contact with the upper surface of the cup body 30.

[0033] This vertical food processor achieves efficient and safe food processing through the coordinated operation of its components, using a "plug-in positioning - rotation closing - sealing and fitting" logic. Its specific working principle is as follows:

[0034] During the cup assembly stage before the food processor is started, the user needs to align the cup with the cup base vertically from top to bottom, so that the cup's plug-in parts and the cup base can be plugged in and engaged. This plug-in structure can directly constrain the cup's left and right movement, forward and backward movement and rotation relative to the cup base. Without additional adjustment or rotation, the cup can be quickly positioned and fixed on the cup base, avoiding the problems of "difficult alignment and low efficiency" in traditional connection methods.

[0035] After the cup body is initially fixed, the machine body enters the closing and sealing stage. Since the machine body and the base are rotatable, the machine body moves relative to the base from the open position to the closed position. When the machine body is in the open position, there is sufficient space between the machine body and the base to facilitate the installation and subsequent removal of the cup body. As the machine body gradually rotates to the closed position, the sealing component connected to the machine body moves synchronously with the machine body. Finally, when the machine body reaches the closed position, the sealing component is tightly fitted with the upper surface of the cup body. On the one hand, the closed state of the machine body forms a longitudinal limit on the cup body, further strengthening the fixing effect between the cup body and the cup base and preventing the cup body from loosening upwards during operation. On the other hand, the fit between the sealing component and the upper surface of the cup body can form a reliable seal, preventing the food juice from spilling out during processing.

[0036] After food processing is complete, the cup removal stage begins. By driving the machine body to rotate in the reverse direction, it returns from the closed position to the open position. At this point, a space is created between the machine body and the base for the cup to detach. Users can then simply lift the cup upwards without disassembling other parts, separating the cup's connector from the base and quickly removing the cup for food disposal and cleaning. The entire process, through the rotation of the machine body and the insertion of the cup, achieves a convenient "installation-sealing-removal" workflow while ensuring stability and sealing during operation.

[0037] A first embodiment of the cup body 30 installation: The cup base 20 is provided with a downwardly recessed mounting cavity 200, and the insertion component 310 is inserted into the mounting cavity 200 from top to bottom. The insertion component 310 and the mounting cavity 200 cooperate to constrain the cup body 30 to move left and right, back and forth, and rotate relative to the cup base 20. In this embodiment, both the mounting cavity 200 and the insertion component 310 have a non-circular structure. The recessed mounting cavity of the cup holder and the cup body insertion component adopt a non-circular structure for fit. On the one hand, the recessed mounting cavity provides a precise vertical positioning space for the insertion component, ensuring that the insertion component can be quickly embedded into the preset position when inserted from top to bottom, simplifying the assembly alignment steps. On the other hand, the adaptable design of the non-circular structure can effectively limit the rotation of the insertion component in the mounting cavity. Combined with the close fit between the mounting cavity and the insertion component, it further strengthens the constraint effect on the left-right and front-back movement of the cup body relative to the cup holder, avoiding displacement or rotation of the cup body due to vibration or centrifugal force during processing and operation. This significantly improves the stability of the connection between the cup body and the cup holder, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent machine body closure and sealing and safe operation.

[0038] A second installation embodiment of the cup body 30: The cup base 20 is provided with a downwardly recessed installation cavity 200; an assembly element 60 is detachably installed in the installation cavity 200, and the assembly element 60 is provided with a downwardly recessed positioning cavity 610. The insertion component 310 is inserted into the positioning cavity 610 from top to bottom. The insertion component 310 and the positioning cavity 610 cooperate to constrain the cup body 30 to move left and right, forward and backward, and rotate relative to the cup base 20. In this embodiment, both the positioning cavity 610 and the insertion component 310 have a non-circular structure. The installation cavity of the cup base allows for the detachable installation of the assembly element, and the non-circular positioning cavity of the assembly element is adapted to the non-circular insertion component of the cup body. On the one hand, the insertion fit can reliably constrain the left and right, forward and backward, and rotation of the cup body relative to the cup base, ensuring stable operation of the cup body; on the other hand, the detachable design of the assembly element facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement, improving the flexibility of use.

[0039] Based on the second installation embodiment of the cup body 30, the assembly element 60 is inserted into the positioning cavity 610 from top to bottom. The positioning cavity 610 is provided with a plurality of matching slots 210, and the assembly element 60 is provided with a plug-in block 620 that is inserted into the matching slot 210 from top to bottom. The assembly element and the positioning cavity adopt a "plug-in block inserted into the matching slot from top to bottom" mating structure, which greatly simplifies the disassembly process of the assembly element: when it is necessary to clean the assembly element, no additional tools are needed; simply lift the assembly element upwards to disengage the plug-in block from the matching slot, and quickly remove the assembly element from the positioning cavity. After cleaning, align the plug-in block with the matching slot and insert it from top to bottom to complete the reinstallation of the assembly element. This structural design is not only convenient to operate, but also ensures that the assembly element can be completely disassembled every time it is cleaned, effectively removing food residues remaining on its surface and ensuring food processing hygiene.

[0040] The second installation embodiment based on the cup body 30: An outwardly penetrating opening 220 is provided on one side of the installation cavity 200, and the assembly element 60 is provided with a handle 630 extending outward through the opening 220. The handle of the assembly element extending outward through the installation cavity opening provides a convenient point of force for the user to assemble and disassemble the assembly element. During disassembly, the user does not need to reach deep into the installation cavity to grasp it; simply pulling the exposed handle outward easily detaches the assembly element from the installation cavity. During installation, the user can also precisely control the position of the assembly element by holding the handle, allowing it to smoothly enter the installation cavity, further simplifying the operation process and improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0041] A third installation embodiment of the cup body 30: The lower surface of the cup body 30 is provided with a plurality of downwardly extending pins, and the cup seat 20 is provided with pin holes corresponding to the pins, and the pins are inserted into the pin holes.

[0042] See Figure 3 The sealing assembly 50 includes a lid 510 that can be fitted onto the cup body 30; the machine body 40 is connected to a blade shaft 710, and a blade head 720 is connected to one end of the blade shaft 710 near the cup body 30; the lid 510 is detachably connected to the machine body 40 or the blade shaft 710. The lid of the sealing assembly can cover the cup body to prevent food juices from spilling out during processing; its detachable connection to the machine body or blade shaft facilitates disassembly and assembly for cup loading and unloading and food dispensing, and after installation, it can work with the blade shaft and blade head to ensure stable blade operation, improving processing safety and convenience.

[0043] Furthermore, when the cup lid 510 is connected to the cutter shaft 710, the cup lid 510 is provided with a through hole, and the cutter shaft 710 passes through the through hole, allowing the cutter shaft 710 to move up and down relative to the cup lid 510. A sealing ring can be provided between the cutter shaft 710 and the through hole according to sealing requirements.

[0044] Furthermore, when the cup lid 510 is connected to the body 40, the cup lid 510 and the body 40 are connected by a snap-fit, screw-on, or threaded structure.

[0045] See Figure 2 The lower surface of the cup lid 510 is provided with an upwardly recessed annular groove 520, and a sealing ring 530 is provided in the annular groove 520. When the machine body 40 is in the closed position, the sealing ring 530 is in contact with the upper surface of the cup body 30. The annular groove on the lower surface of the cup lid can stably accommodate the sealing ring and prevent the sealing ring from shifting. When the machine body is in the closed position, the sealing ring is tightly fitted with the upper surface of the cup body, which can effectively enhance the sealing of the top of the cup body and prevent food juices from overflowing from the gap between the cup body and the cup lid during food processing, thus ensuring a clean processing environment.

[0046] In this invention, the machine body 40 is connected to an operating handle. The operating handle provides a convenient point of force for the user to control the movement of the machine body relative to the base. By holding the operating handle, the user can easily switch the machine body between the open and closed positions without directly contacting other parts of the machine body. This reduces the difficulty of operation, avoids the user's hand being scratched by the edges of the machine body, and improves safety and ease of use.

[0047] In this invention, the base 10 is equipped with a drive module for driving the body 40 to rotate between the open and closed positions. The core function of the drive module is to provide automated power for the rotation of the body relative to the base between the open and closed positions, eliminating the need for manual pushing by the user, significantly reducing operational intensity. Simultaneously, it can precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the body, ensuring stable movement during opening and closing, avoiding body wobbling or positioning deviations caused by uneven manual operation, further improving the ease of use and operational stability of the equipment. The drive module can employ various existing electric structures for driving, such as a DC motor + gear transmission module. The DC motor outputs torque, which is then reduced and increased by the gear set to drive the rotational connection shaft between the body and the base, achieving smooth rotation of the body.
