Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a food processor with a cord rewinding function. Background Technology

[0002] As a multifunctional kitchen appliance widely used in both Chinese and Western pastry making, the stand mixer can perform various operations such as kneading dough, beating eggs, and mixing. Its advantages of saving time and effort, and its convenience, have made it popular among consumers. In daily life, stand mixers are increasingly used in various scenarios, playing an important role whether in home kitchens preparing delicious food or in the daily operations of small bakeries.

[0003] When using a food processor, cord management is an issue that cannot be ignored. A messy cord not only affects the tidiness and aesthetics of the kitchen but can also pose safety hazards, such as tripping over the user or damaging the cord during pulling. Therefore, a food processor with good cord management is particularly important.

[0004] Most stand mixers on the market currently lack a cord retraction function, leaving users with no choice but to leave the long power cord lying around after use, which greatly inconveniences kitchen organization. While a small number of stand mixers do have a cord retraction function, the existing methods are generally flawed. These machines typically have a cord winding channel at the bottom, requiring users to lay the machine down to wind the power cord into this channel; similarly, when using the machine, the same process must be repeated, laying the machine down first and then releasing the cord from the channel. This method is cumbersome, and the weight of the machine can make it difficult for users to maneuver, potentially causing unnecessary damage. 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 food processor with a cord rewinding function.

[0006] A food processor with a cable retraction function designed for this purpose includes a body, a cable harness, and a plug. The body has a cable retraction space inside, and a connecting port on the outer wall of the body that communicates with the cable retraction space. The cable harness is at least partially disposed within the cable retraction space and can extend through the connecting port to the outside of the body. One end of the cable harness located outside the body is connected to the plug. A fixing sleeve is provided inside the connecting port, and the plug can be inserted and fixed inside the fixing sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a partition shell, which is opened towards the communication port; the cable take-up space is located inside the partition shell.

[0008] Preferably, the machine body is provided with an upwardly extending winding housing and a winding post, the winding housing and the winding post being provided with a winding space through which the wire harness can pass; the wire harness is at least partially embedded in the winding space; the winding space is provided with an opening on its upper side; and a pressing member for pressing the wire harness is provided on the upper side of the winding space.

[0009] Preferably, the pressure member is provided with a through hole, and the winding post is provided with a threaded hole that communicates with the through hole; a screw that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole passes through the through hole, and the screw head abuts against the upper surface of the pressure member.

[0010] Preferably, the plug and the retaining sleeve are interference-fitted.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has achieved significant improvements in ease of operation and storage stability, with the following specific benefits:

[0012] Firstly, the cord retraction and extension process is greatly simplified, lowering the barrier to entry for users. Unlike existing technologies where the entire machine needs to be laid down, users no longer need to laboriously lay the machine on its side. Simply hold the plug connected to the cord harness and push or pull it to retract or extend it. To retract the cord, push the plug towards the machine body, and the cord will retract into the internal cord storage space. To extend the cord, pull the plug outward, and the cord will extend from the cord storage space through the connecting port to the outside of the machine, meeting the power requirements of the food processor. The entire process requires no additional tools or involves moving the heavy machine. Whether it's elderly people, women, or staff in small baking shops, everyone can easily complete the operation, effectively saving time and effort. It is especially suitable for kitchens with limited space, avoiding the space-consuming problems caused by laying the machine on its side.

[0013] Secondly, the stability of the cable management system is significantly improved by using the fixing sleeve and plug together. After the cable harness is stored, the plug can be directly inserted into the fixing sleeve inside the connecting port. The fixing sleeve effectively restrains the plug, precisely limiting its position and preventing it from shaking or falling off. On the one hand, this prevents the cable harness from accidentally slipping out of the storage space due to plug displacement, ensuring that the cable harness is always neatly stored and maintaining a clean kitchen environment. On the other hand, it prevents the plug from colliding and rubbing against the outer wall of the machine or other kitchen items, reducing wear and tear on the plug and cable harness, extending the overall lifespan of the food processor, and also reducing safety hazards caused by loose plugs, further enhancing user safety and satisfaction.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] See Figures 1-6 A food processor with a cord retraction function includes a body 10, a cord harness 20, and a plug 30. The body 10 has a cord retraction space 100 inside, and a communication port 110 communicating with the cord retraction space 100 is provided on the outer wall of the body 10. The cord harness 20 is at least partially disposed within the cord retraction space 100 and can extend through the communication port 110 to the outside of the body 10. One end of the cord harness 20 located outside the body 10 is connected to the plug 30. A fixing sleeve 40 is provided inside the communication port 110, and the plug 30 can be inserted and fixed inside the fixing sleeve 40.

[0022] This food processor with a cord rewinding function achieves its cord rewinding and unwinding operations through the coordinated operation of various components. The specific operating principle can be divided into two core scenarios: "cord unwinding" and "cord rewinding and storage."

[0023] In the initial state of use, the cable harness 20 is at least partially stored in the cable storage space 100 inside the machine body 10. If the plug 30 is in the stored state, it is pre-inserted and fixed in the fixing sleeve 40 inside the connecting port 110. When the user needs to use the stand mixer, first hold the plug 30 and apply a pulling force to the outside of the machine body 10. The plug 30 will detach from the fixing sleeve 40, and at the same time, it will drive the cable harness 20 connected to it to move synchronously. Under the action of the pulling force, the cable harness 20 extends from the cable storage space 100 through the connecting port 110 to the outside of the machine body 10, until the length of the pulled cable harness 20 meets the user's needs to insert the plug 30 into an external power socket. At this time, stop pulling, and the plug 30 can be connected to the power supply to power the stand mixer for kneading, mixing and other work.

[0024] In the cord retraction scenario, after the food processor is used and the external power is disconnected, the user holds the unplugged plug 30 and applies a pushing force towards the machine body 10. At this time, the cable harness 20 connected to the plug 30 will be pushed back along the connection port 110 into the cord retraction space 100 inside the machine body 10. As the pushing force continues to be applied, the cable harness 20 is gradually retracted into the cord retraction space 100. When the cable harness 20 is retracted to the preset length and the plug 30 moves to the position of the connection port 110, the plug 30 is aligned with the fixing sleeve 40 inside the connection port 110 and inserted. The fixing sleeve 40 will form a fixed constraint on the plug 30, completing the entire cord retraction process. At this time, the cable harness 20 is stably stored in the cord retraction space 100, and the plug 30 is positioned at the connection port 110 by the fixing sleeve 40, preventing the parts from shifting.

[0025] See Figure 3 The body 10 is provided with a partition shell 50, which is open on the side facing the communication port 110; the cable take-up space 100 is provided inside the partition shell 50. The partition shell 50 inside the main body 10 plays a crucial supporting role in the stable implementation of the cable retraction function and the internal space planning of the main body, specifically as follows: On the one hand, the partition shell 50 forms an independent cable retraction space 100, which can physically isolate the cable harness 20 from the core components such as the motor and transmission components inside the main body 10, avoiding the cable harness 20 from getting tangled or rubbing against other components during the cable retraction and unloading process, reducing the risk of wear on the cable harness 20 or failure due to contact with other components, while providing a neat storage area for the cable harness 20, ensuring the stability of the movement path of the cable harness 20 during cable retraction and unloading; on the other hand, its design with an opening facing the connecting port 110 allows for precise docking with the connecting port 110, providing a smooth channel for the cable harness 20 to pass through the connecting port 110 from the cable retraction space 100 into and out of the main body 10, avoiding the cable harness 20 from getting stuck due to path deviation when entering or exiting, further ensuring the smoothness of the cable retraction and unloading operation.

[0026] See Figure 4 and Figure 6The body 10 contains an upwardly extending winding shell 120 and a winding post 130. The winding shell 120 and the winding post 130 have a winding space 140 through which the wire harness 20 can pass. The wire harness 20 is at least partially embedded in the winding space 140. The winding space 140 has an opening on its upper side. A pressing member 60 for pressing the wire harness 20 is provided on the upper side of the winding space 140. The core function of this structure is to fix and limit the wire harness 20 between the circuit board and the take-up space 100, while also assisting in the neat and orderly storage of the wire harness. The upwardly extending winding shell 120 and the winding post 130 enclose the winding space 140, which is specifically used for the wire harness 20 between the circuit board and the take-up space 100. The wire harness 20 is at least partially embedded in it, and the structural limitation can prevent the wire harness 20 from being completely pulled out of the take-up space 100, thus avoiding the problem of the wire harness 20 becoming detached from the circuit board due to its complete detachment, and ensuring the stability of the circuit connection.

[0027] See Figure 6 The pressure member 60 is provided with a through hole, and the winding post 130 is provided with a threaded hole communicating with the through hole. A screw 70, which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, passes through the through hole, and the screw head of the screw 70 abuts against the upper surface of the pressure member 60. After the screw 70 passes through the through hole of the pressure member 60, it is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the winding post 130, and the screw head abuts against the upper surface of the pressure member 60, which can tightly fix the pressure member 60 on the upper side of the winding space 140, ensuring that the pressure member 60 always maintains a stable pressing force on the wire harness 20 embedded in the winding space 140, and avoids the pressure member from loosening and causing the wire harness constraint to fail. At the same time, the threaded connection method makes it easy to adjust the pressing force of the pressure member 60 by turning the screw 70 according to the actual specifications or usage requirements of the wire harness 20. This ensures that the wire harness 20 is not damaged by excessive compression, and effectively prevents the wire harness from shifting, continuously ensuring the reliability of the connection of the wire harness 20 between the circuit board and the take-up space 100, and preventing the wire harness from being pulled out and detached from the circuit board.

[0028] In this invention, the plug 30 and the fixing sleeve 40 are interference-fitted. Alternatively, the plug 30 and the fixing sleeve 40 can be connected using existing detachable connection structures such as snap-fit. The specific functions are as follows: If an interference fit is used, after the plug 30 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 40, the interference between the two forms a tight, secure fit, firmly restraining the plug position and preventing it from loosening or falling off after storage, ensuring the cable harness is stably stored in the cable retraction space. If a detachable connection structure such as a snap-fit ​​is used, the snap-fit ​​allows for quick connection and fixation of the plug and fixing sleeve, ensuring the plug does not shift during storage, and also allows for easy release of the fixation during cable unloading, facilitating the user to pull the plug out of the cable harness. This balances reliability and ease of operation, further optimizing the cable retraction and unloading experience.

[0029] In this invention, the cord retraction space 100 is provided with a ventilation opening 150 that extends downward through the body 10. This accelerates air circulation inside and outside the cord retraction space 100, promptly dissipating the heat conducted to the cord retraction space during the operation of the food processor, preventing heat accumulation that could cause the wire harness 20 to age rapidly due to high temperatures, and ensuring the insulation performance and safety of the wire harness.

[0030] In this utility model, the fixing sleeve 40 is fixed to the communication port 110 by existing fixing methods such as snap-fit, plug-in or screw.
