Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of food processors, specifically relating to a food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Common food processors typically have baffles on the inner wall of the cup to increase the turbulence of the slurry, allowing the ingredients and blades to make more thorough contact, thereby improving the pulverization effect and making the slurry smoother.

[0003] Common food processors typically have horizontally positioned blades, such as the high-speed blender disclosed in patent CN202120685617.7. In this blender, the blades are horizontally positioned, and the inner wall of the cup has turbulence ribs extending to the bottom. These ribs enhance the turbulence of the liquid within the cup, allowing the ingredients to be cut and ground more thoroughly during blending, resulting in better pulverization. However, with a horizontally positioned blade, solid materials tend to accumulate at the bottom of the cup during operation. These materials are difficult for the pulverizing blades to pulverize. To address this issue, some food processors on the market have adopted an inclined blade and pulverizing blade design.

[0004] For example, patent CN202020597509.X discloses a cooking cup with an inclined blade and baffles on the side wall of the blade. Although the baffles are omitted from the cup body, the baffles on the metal blade are weak and have a high risk of deformation, which is not conducive to extending the service life of the machine. Moreover, the baffles are located at the bottom of the cup body, with the bottom end close to the bottom of the blade. The baffles at the low position are difficult to clean or clean properly during cleaning. This not only affects the hygiene of the cup but also increases the cleaning burden on the user, resulting in a decline in the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a food processing machine designed to optimize the structure and distribution of the cup body baffles under a tilted blade setting, in order to improve the crushing effect of food ingredients.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] A food processing machine includes a crushing assembly, which comprises a cup body, a cup lid, a blade disc, a motor, and crushing blades. The inner wall of the cup body is provided with baffles extending axially along the cup body. The blade disc is positioned at the bottom opening of the cup body. The upper end of the motor shaft passes through the blade disc, extends into the cup body, and fixes the crushing blades. The blade disc is inclined, and the motor shaft is perpendicular to the blade disc. The blade disc has a highest inclined region and a lowest inclined region. The baffles include a first baffle and multiple second baffles. The first baffle extends to the bottom opening of the cup body, the highest inclined region corresponds to the first baffle, and the bottom ends of the second baffles are higher than the opening.

[0008] The food processor of this application, with its blade tilted, incorporates baffles on the cup body. This ensures the strength of the baffles and improves reliability. Furthermore, since the tilted blades increase the distance between the blades and the side wall of the cup body at the highest tilted area, this application provides a first baffle extending to the bottom opening of the cup body to reduce this distance difference. The closer the blades are to the first baffle increases the number of collisions between the food and the baffle, thus increasing the contact between the food and the blades and improving the pulverizing effect. It is understood that by positioning the first baffle corresponding to the highest tilted area and shortening the aforementioned distance difference, the distance difference between the food and the cup body side wall after being sheared and collided by the blades is reduced. Most food undergoes the same number of collision cycles, thus improving the uniformity of food pulverization. By setting two specifications of baffles, the collision angle between the food and the two baffles, as well as the flow rate of the slurry, are different. This increases the probability of the food colliding with each other and with the blades, enhancing the turbulence and pulverization effect and improving the fineness of the pulverization. At the same time, while ensuring the improvement of the pulverization effect, the bottom of the second baffle is set higher, which simplifies the processing and saves costs.

[0009] Optionally, the lower end of the cup body tapers inward to form a mounting portion, and the first baffle rib includes a first baffle section protruding from the inner sidewall of the cup body above the mounting portion and a second baffle section protruding from the mounting portion, wherein the second baffle section protrudes inward relative to the first baffle section.

[0010] In this technical solution, by forming a mounting portion on the cup body, the outer side of the mounting portion facilitates installation with the cup base, while the inner side of the mounting portion helps to shorten the distance between the blade and the inner wall of the cup. Furthermore, the second turbulence section protrudes inward relative to the first turbulence section, further reducing the distance between the blade and the second turbulence section, increasing the number of collisions between the food and the second turbulence section per unit time, thereby increasing the number of contacts between the food and the blade and improving the pulverizing effect on the side of the highest inclined zone of the blade disc. Because the mounting portion is formed by inward contraction, placing the second turbulence section on the mounting portion allows for a suitable reduction in the thickness of the radial protrusion of the second turbulence section, facilitating its processing.

[0011] Optionally, the tip of the shredder blade is not higher than the tip of the second turbulence section.

[0012] In this technical solution, by limiting the height of the second turbulence section, the material being cut by the blade is made to fully contact and collide with the second turbulence section, thereby increasing the number of times the food and the blade come into contact, and making the food more finely pulverized.

[0013] Optionally, the projected area of ​​the second turbulence section on the horizontal plane is larger than the projected area of ​​the first turbulence section on the horizontal plane.

[0014] In this technical solution, the second turbulence section has a larger projected area on the horizontal plane and is positioned closer to the center of the cup than the first turbulence section. This results in a smaller distance between the second turbulence section and the pulverizing blade, which helps to reduce the pulverizing space in the high-point area of ​​the inclined blade, increasing the number of collisions between the food and the sidewall, further pulverizing small food particles and improving the fineness of the pulverization. At the same vertical position, the first and second turbulence sections are at different distances from the center of the cup, which helps to create different flow velocities between the upper and lower layers of slurry along the vertical direction of the cup, achieving a multi-layer differential turbulence effect and further improving the food pulverization performance.

[0015] Optionally, the height of the tops of the multiple turbulence ribs increases in a gradient along the rotation direction of the crusher blade.

[0016] In this technical solution, by making the top height of multiple turbulence ribs increase in a gradient along the rotation direction of the pulverizer blade, the resistance encountered by the slurry gradually increases during rotation, which can reduce slurry turbulence, reduce the vibration of the cup body caused by the impact of the slurry, and improve the noise reduction effect. At the same time, when the slurry falls from the highest turbulence rib, it can form a large height difference, thereby forming a larger impact, making it easier for the material to reach the working range of the pulverizer blade, thereby improving the pulverization effect of the food.

[0017] Optionally, the highest baffle rib at the top is set to correspond to the lowest inclined zone.

[0018] In this technical solution, the lowest inclined zone is the main deposition zone of the material. By placing the highest baffle on this side, the height between the top of the highest baffle and the lowest inclined zone is maximized, which can further enhance the impact force when the slurry falls, promote the contact between the material and the pulverizing blade, and thus enhance the food pulverizing effect.

[0019] Optionally, the angle between the central axis of the motor shaft and the central axis of the cup body is 10°-25°.

[0020] In this technical solution, by limiting the tilt angle of the cutter disc, the angle between the central axis of the motor shaft and the central axis of the cup body is 10°-25°, which can achieve full crushing of large-volume materials, improve the fineness of crushing, and at the same time reduce the operating noise and improve the noise reduction performance.

[0021] Optionally, the pulverizing assembly further includes a cup base, the cup body and the cup base clamping the blade disc, the outer peripheral edge of the blade disc being covered with a seal, and the bottom end of the first turbulence rib abutting against the upper surface of the seal.

[0022] In this technical solution, the first baffle rib presses against the sealing element. Since the first baffle rib is formed by the inner wall of the cup and has a certain thickness, the pressing area against the sealing element is larger than that of the side wall of the cup. Therefore, the clamping effect of the sealing element can be improved and the sealing performance of the cup can be enhanced. At the same time, it can prevent the accumulation of slag and difficulty in cleaning when a small gap is formed between the first baffle rib and the sealing element, thus ensuring the convenience of cleaning the cup.

[0023] Optionally, the first turbulence rib includes a first turbulence section and a second turbulence section along the direction close to the opening. The thickness of the second turbulence section protruding radially inward is greater than the thickness of the first turbulence section protruding radially inward. The second turbulence section is set corresponding to the axial crushing range of the crusher.

[0024] In this technical solution, the cup body can adopt a simple straight cup structure with a straight inner wall along the axial direction. This structure is simple and easy to manufacture. The first baffle rib can be integrally formed from top to bottom, resulting in low processing difficulty and high efficiency. Simultaneously, the second baffle section is close to the center of the cup body and is positioned corresponding to the axial pulverizing range of the pulverizing blade. This increases the number of collisions between the food and the blade and the second baffle section, improving the fineness of the pulverized food. At the same vertical position, the first and second baffle sections have different distances from the center of the cup body, which helps the upper and lower layers of slurry form different flow velocities along the vertical direction of the cup body, achieving a multi-layered differential turbulence effect and further improving the food pulverizing performance.

[0025] Optionally, a handle is provided on one side of the cup body, the lowest inclined area is located on the same side as the handle and the lowest inclined area is provided corresponding to the handle area of ​​the cup body, and the motor shaft extends inclined towards the handle side.

[0026] In this technical solution, the lowest point of the blade disc is positioned near the handle of the cup body. This shifts the center of gravity of the grinding component towards the handle, reducing the force required for the user to lift the grinding component and improving ease of operation, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the angled lowest area of ​​the blade disc is aligned with the handle area of ​​the cup body, ensuring that the center of gravity of the grinding component also aligns with the handle area. This further reduces the force required for the user to handle the grinding component, improving convenience. The motor shaft extends at an angle towards the handle. When the user pours the slurry, the center of gravity of the grinding component and the slurry as a whole is closer to the axis of the force acting on the handle, making pouring even easier and preventing hand fatigue during pouring, thus improving the user experience.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application provides a food processing machine, including a crushing assembly. The crushing assembly includes a cup body 10, a cup lid, a blade disc 11, a motor 12, and a crushing blade 13. The inner wall of the cup body 10 is provided with baffles extending along the axial direction of the cup body 10. The blade disc 11 is located at the bottom opening of the cup body 10. The upper end of the motor shaft 121 of the motor 12 passes through the blade disc 11, extends into the cup body 10, and fixes the crushing blade 13. The blade disc 11 is inclined, and the motor shaft 121 is perpendicular to the blade disc 11. The blade disc 11 has a highest inclined area 111 and a lowest inclined area 112. The baffles include a first baffle 14 and a plurality of second baffles 15. The first baffle 14 extends to the bottom opening of the cup body 10. The highest inclined area 111 is provided corresponding to the first baffle 14. The bottom end of the second baffle 15 is higher than the opening.

[0043] The food processor of this application, with the blade disc 11 tilted, has baffles on the cup body 10, ensuring the strength of the baffles and good reliability. Furthermore, since the pulverizing blade 13 tilts with the blade disc 11, the distance between the pulverizing blade 13 and the side wall of the cup body 10 on the side of the highest tilted area 111 increases. To reduce the distance difference between the blade and the side wall of the cup body 10 caused by the tilted blade disc 11, this application provides a first baffle 14 extending to the bottom opening of the cup body 10. The closer the distance between the blade and the first baffle 14, the more frequent the collisions between the food and the first baffle 14, thus increasing the contact between the food and the blade and improving the pulverizing effect. It can be understood that the highest tilted area 111 corresponds to the first baffle 14. By shortening the aforementioned distance difference, the distance difference between the food and the side wall of the cup body 10 after being sheared and collided by the blade is reduced, resulting in most food undergoing the same number of collision cycles, thus improving the uniformity of food pulverization. By setting two specifications of baffles, the collision angle between the food and the two baffles, the flow rate of the slurry, etc. are different, which can increase the probability of the food colliding with each other and with the blades, enhance the turbulence and pulverization effect, and improve the fineness of the pulverization. At the same time, while ensuring the improvement of the pulverization effect, the bottom end of the second baffle 15 is set higher, which can simplify the processing and save costs.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance from the lowest inclined zone 112 of the pulverizing blade 13 to the side wall of the cup body 10 is less than the distance from the highest inclined zone 111 of the pulverizing blade 13 to the side wall of the cup body 10. Since the first baffle rib 14 extends from the side wall of the cup body 10 to the bottom of the cup body 10, by setting the highest inclined zone 111 to correspond to the first baffle rib 14, the above-mentioned distance difference can be shortened. This allows ingredients in all circumferential directions to have the same number of collision cycles between the pulverizing blade 13 and the side wall of the cup body 10, improving the uniformity of ingredient pulverization. In one embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the cup body 10 is provided with one first turbulence rib 14 and three second turbulence ribs 15, and the four turbulence ribs are evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0045] The inclined highest region 111 and the inclined lowest region 112 are arranged opposite to each other. The width of the inclined highest region 111 is not less than the width of the first baffle 14. The inclined highest region 111 is arranged to correspond to the first baffle 14, which means that at least a part of the inclined highest region 111 corresponds to the first baffle 14. Preferably, the center line of the inclined highest region 111 is aligned with the central axis of the first baffle 14, which is beneficial for the cutter head 11 to be positioned and installed according to the first baffle 14, and simplifies the installation of the cutter head 11.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the lower end of the cup body 10 is tapered inward to form a mounting portion 16. The first deflector rib 14 includes a first deflector section 141 protruding from the inner wall of the cup body 10 above the mounting portion 16 and a second deflector section 142 protruding from the mounting portion 16. The second deflector section 142 protrudes inward relative to the first deflector section 141.

[0047] In this embodiment, by forming a mounting portion 16 on the cup body 10, the outer side of the mounting portion 16 facilitates installation with the cup base 17, while the inner side of the mounting portion 16 helps to shorten the distance between the blade and the inner wall of the cup body 10. Furthermore, the second turbulence section 142 protrudes inward relative to the first turbulence section 141, further reducing the distance between the blade and the second turbulence section 142, increasing the number of collisions between the food and the second turbulence section 142 per unit time, thereby increasing the number of contacts between the food and the blade and improving the pulverizing effect of the food on the side of the highest inclined area 111 of the blade disc 11. Because the mounting portion 16 is formed by inward contraction, placing the second turbulence section 142 on the mounting portion 16 can appropriately reduce the thickness of the radial protrusion of the second turbulence section 142, facilitating its processing.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cup body 10 has a variable diameter structure. The diameters of the cup body 10 where the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 are located are different. The contracted mounting part 16 is convenient to be sleeved with the cup base 17. For example, the outer wall of the mounting part 16 is provided with external threads, and the cup base 17 is provided with internal threads. The two can be threadedly connected and installed. The second turbulence section 142 includes a transition section 1421 and an extension section 1422 along the direction close to the opening. The transition section 1421 connects the first turbulence section 141 and the extension section 1422. The line connecting the highest points of the multiple radial protrusions of the first turbulence section 141 in the axial direction has a certain slope and forms a first angle with the central axis of the cup body 10. The line connecting the highest points of the multiple radial protrusions of the extension section 1422 in the axial direction also has a certain slope and forms a second angle with the central axis of the cup body 10. The first angle and the second angle are not equal. The angles at which the food collides with the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 are different, which can increase the probability of collision between the two parts of food, promote the food to fall into the working range of the crusher 13, and at the same time make the direction and flow rate of the upper and lower layers of slurry different, resulting in different collision energies. This can improve the turbulence of the slurry, increase the probability of collision and shearing between the food and the crusher 13, and improve the fineness of the crushing.

[0049] Furthermore, the mounting portion 16 includes a stepped surface 161 and a mounting surface 162 extending downward from the stepped surface 161. The outer wall of the mounting surface 162 is provided with external threads. A transition section 1421 is disposed on the inner wall of the stepped surface 161, and an extension section 1422 is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting surface 162. The lower end of the transition section 1421 is provided with a rounded corner to smoothly connect with the extension section 1422. The first spoiler section 141 and the second spoiler section 142 can adopt different shapes; for example, the first spoiler section 141 can be a prismatic protrusion, and the second spoiler section 142 can be a gently sloping arc-shaped protrusion.

[0050] In one embodiment, the tip of the blade of the shredder 13 is not higher than the tip of the second turbulence section 142.

[0051] In this embodiment, by limiting the height of the second turbulence section 142, the material being cut by the blade is made to fully contact and collide with the second turbulence section 142, thereby increasing the number of contact times between the food and the blade, and making the food more finely pulverized. The pulverizing blade 13 includes multiple blades, and the tips of all blades are not higher than the tip of the second turbulence section 142.

[0052] In one embodiment, the projected area of ​​the second spoiler section 142 on the horizontal plane is greater than the projected area of ​​the first spoiler section 141 on the horizontal plane.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 have different shapes. For example, the first turbulence section 141 is a prismatic protrusion, while the second turbulence section 142 is a gentler arc-shaped protrusion. The second turbulence section 142 has a larger projected area on the horizontal plane and is positioned closer to the center of the cup body 10 than the first turbulence section 141. This results in a smaller distance between the second turbulence section 142 and the blade of the pulverizing blade 13, which helps to reduce the pulverizing space in the high-point area of ​​the blade disc 11, increases the number of collisions between the food and the blade and the sidewall, further pulverizes small food particles, and improves the fineness of the pulverized food. At the same vertical position, the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 are at different distances from the center of the cup body 10. This facilitates the formation of different flow velocities between the upper and lower layers of slurry along the vertical direction of the cup body 10, achieving a multi-layer differential turbulence effect and further improving the food pulverizing performance.

[0054] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the construction of the cup body 10 differs from that of other embodiments. Figure 3 In the middle structure, the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 can also be formed in different ways. For example, in another embodiment, the first turbulence rib 14 includes the first turbulence section 141 and the second turbulence section 142 along the direction close to the opening. The thickness of the radially inward protrusion of the second turbulence section 142 is greater than the thickness of the radially inward protrusion of the first turbulence section 141. The second turbulence section 142 is arranged corresponding to the axial crushing section of the crusher 13.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cup body 10 can adopt a simple straight cup structure, with the inner wall of the cup body 10 being straight along the axial direction. This structure is simple and easy to process. The first baffle rib 14 can be integrally formed from top to bottom, resulting in low processing difficulty and high efficiency. Simultaneously, the second baffle section 142 is close to the center of the cup body 10 and corresponds to the axial crushing range of the pulverizing blade 13, which helps increase the number of collisions between the food and the blade and the second baffle section 142, improving the fineness of the food crushing. At the same vertical position, the first baffle section 141 and the second baffle section 142 have different distances from the center of the cup body 10, which helps the upper and lower layers of slurry form different flow velocities along the vertical direction of the cup body 10, achieving a multi-layer differential baffle effect and further improving the food crushing performance. The second baffle section 142 corresponding to the axial crushing range of the pulverizing blade 13 means that the second baffle section 142 is set within the height range between the highest and lowest points of the pulverizing blade 13. Preferably, the tip of the blade of the pulverizing blade 13 is not higher than the tip of the second baffle section 142.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the height of the top of the multiple turbulence ribs increases in a gradient along the rotation direction of the crusher blade 13.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, by making the height of the top of the multiple turbulence ribs increase in a gradient along the rotation direction of the pulverizing blade 13, the resistance encountered by the slurry gradually increases during rotation, which can reduce slurry turbulence, reduce the vibration of the cup body 10 caused by the impact of the slurry, and improve the noise reduction effect. At the same time, when the slurry falls from the highest turbulence rib, it can form a large height difference, thereby forming a large impact, making it easier for the material to reach the working range of the pulverizing blade 13, thereby improving the pulverizing effect of the food.

[0058] Because the blade disc 11 is set at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, during the grinding process of the pulverizing blade 13, the liquid in the cup body 10 will move in a circular motion around the blade shaft. The upper surface of the liquid surface will also be at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, with the lowest point of the upper surface above the lowest point of the blade disc 11 and the highest point above the highest point of the blade disc 11. Liquid at different heights will bounce back and fall near the blades after colliding with the corresponding baffles, thus being agitated. By setting baffles of different lengths according to the liquid level, the liquid in the cup body 10 can contact the raised positions of the baffles at different locations, promoting a faster return of the liquid to the vicinity of the blades and improving the grinding effect.

[0059] In one embodiment, the highest top baffle corresponds to the angled lowest area 112.

[0060] In this embodiment, the inclined lowest area 112 is the main deposition area of ​​the material. By setting the highest baffle on this side, the height between the top of the highest baffle and the inclined lowest area 112 is the largest, which can further enhance the impact force when the slurry falls, and make the material contact the blade of the crushing knife 13, thereby enhancing the crushing effect of the food.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the included angle θ between the central axis of the motor shaft 121 and the central axis of the cup body 10 is 10°-25°.

[0062] In this embodiment, by limiting the tilt angle of the cutter disc 11, the included angle θ between the central axis of the motor shaft 121 and the central axis of the cup body 10 is 10°-25°, which can achieve full crushing of large-volume materials, improve the fineness of crushing, and at the same time reduce the working noise and improve the noise reduction performance.

[0063] Preferably, the angle θ formed between the central axis of the motor shaft 121 and the central axis of the cup body 10 is within the range of 12.5°-17.5°. Experiments have shown that within this parameter range, when pulverizing whole fruits, no large pieces of fruit remain after pulverization. Therefore, it can thoroughly pulverize large fruits, achieving a high degree of fineness. Furthermore, the operating noise is around 60 decibels, which is low and improves the user experience. It can be understood that the angle θ formed between the central axis of the motor shaft 121 and the central axis of the cup body 10 can specifically be 12.5°, 15°, 17.5°, 10°, 20°, 22.5°, 25°, etc., set according to actual needs.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the pulverizing assembly further includes a cup base 17, a cup body 10 and a cup base 17 clamping a blade disc 11, the outer peripheral edge of the blade disc 11 is covered with a seal 18, and the bottom end of the first turbulence rib 14 abuts against the upper surface of the seal 18.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first baffle 14 presses against the sealing member 18. Since the first baffle 14 is formed by the inner wall of the cup body 10 and has a certain thickness, the pressing area of ​​the sealing member 18 is larger than that of the side wall of the cup body 10. Therefore, the clamping effect of the sealing member 18 can be improved, and the sealing performance of the cup body 10 can be enhanced. At the same time, it can prevent the accumulation of slag and difficulty in cleaning when a small gap is formed between the first baffle 14 and the sealing member 18, thereby ensuring the convenience of cleaning the cup body 10.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of this application, a handle 101 is provided on one side of the cup body 10, and the inclined lowest area 112 is provided on the same side as the handle 101 and the inclined lowest area 112 is provided in relation to the handle 101 area of ​​the cup body 10. The motor shaft 121 extends inclinedly toward the handle 101.

[0067] In this embodiment, the lowest point of the blade disc 11 is positioned near the handle 101 of the cup body 10. This shifts the center of gravity of the grinding component towards the handle 101, reducing the force required for the user to lift the grinding component and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the lowest inclined area 112 of the blade disc 11 is positioned corresponding to the handle 101 area of ​​the cup body 10, ensuring that the center of gravity of the grinding component also corresponds to the handle 101 area. This further reduces the force required for the user to lift the grinding component, enhancing ease of use. The motor shaft 121 extends at an angle towards the handle 101. When the user pours the slurry, the center of gravity of the grinding component and the slurry as a whole is close to the axis of the force acting on the handle 101, making pouring easier and preventing hand fatigue during pouring, thus improving the user experience.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, the cutter head 11 structure of this application can be circular or non-circular, and is not limited here. Specifically, a circular cutter head 11 means that the cutter head 11 includes a circular bottom wall and an annular side wall surrounding the bottom wall, and the height of the side wall varies at different positions along the circumference.

[0069] Non-circular cutter head 11 Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the sidewall of the cutter disc 11 unfolds in an involute shape along the rotation direction of the pulverizing blade 13. The distance from the tail end of the pulverizing blade 13 to the sidewall of the cutter disc 11 gradually decreases along the rotation direction of the pulverizing blade 13, wherein dimension A > B > C. Figure 5 (The middle arrow indicates the rotation direction of the shredder). With this setting, the food is squeezed by the side wall and sheared by the blade as it passes through the continuously shrinking space of the blade disc 11. This creates a differential speed, which increases the probability of the food colliding with each other and with the blade, thus improving the fineness of the food shredding.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, a stepped section 113 is provided at the high edge of the blade disc 11. The stepped section 113 and the adjacent bottom plane of the blade disc 11 form a rotating zone 114. When the food moves to this point, it is blocked by the stepped section 113. After the collision, the original velocity direction is changed, and the momentum of the food is converted into impulse, increasing the impact energy. At the same time, the food is driven by the blades of the pulverizing blade 13 to move from the low point to the high point at a relatively high speed. It is then impacted by the rotating zone 114, further increasing the collision energy, improving the turbulence effect of the slurry, and enhancing the pulverization effect of the food. With this configuration, the direction and magnitude of the slurry flow velocity in the rotating zone 114 change significantly, increasing the degree of turbulence and impact of the slurry at the bottom of the blade disc 11, increasing the probability of collision and shearing with the blades, thus improving the turbulence effect and the fineness of the pulverization.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the edge portion of the blade disc 11 includes an arcuate portion 115 and a flat portion 116. The arcuate portion 115 is located in the high point region of the blade disc 11, and the remainder is the flat portion 116. The flat portion 116 is parallel to the blade, and the arcuate portion 115 forms a certain angle with the blade. The blade forms an angle with the arcuate portion 115. When the blade cuts the food, the food is simultaneously subjected to the downward thrust of the blade and the guidance of the arcuate portion 115, which allows the food to slide from the arcuate portion 115 to the flat portion 116, making more contact with the blade and thus improving the pulverizing effect.

[0072] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the blade 11 is inclined at the lowest area 112, and an angle α is formed between the bottom of the blade 11 and the side wall of the blade 11, where 180° > α > 90°. Under the shearing action of the blade, the food collides with the side wall of the blade 11. Due to the setting of the inclined angle of the side wall, the food avoids the blade sweeping area after the collision, and after hitting the side wall of the cup body 10, it falls back to the vicinity of the blade. This can avoid the food from repeatedly colliding with the blade in the volume cavity area at the bottom of the blade 11, increasing the temperature rise of the motor 12, and reducing the probability of burning at the bottom. It utilizes the gravitational potential energy conversion of the food falling from a height to improve the pulverizing performance while reducing the energy consumption of the motor 12.

[0073] It is understandable that the bottom of the blade plate 11 is generally equipped with a heating element to provide heating for the cup body 10, so the blade plate 11 can also be called a heating plate, which will not be elaborated further here.
