[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing, and more particularly to a blending cup assembly 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 soy milk makers, blenders, or high-speed blenders—machines that pulverize and mix food. Existing food processors suffer from the problem of high noise levels. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a mixing cup assembly and a food processor that can effectively reduce noise.

[0004] This application provides a mixing cup assembly. The mixing cup assembly includes: a mixing cup comprising a cup body, a cup base, and a base plate, the base plate being disposed at the bottom of the cup body; and a motor assembly disposed within the cup base; the motor assembly includes a motor located below the base plate, the motor's output shaft passing through the base plate and connected to a stirring blade; and a motor cover covering the motor assembly, the motor cover being assembled with the cup base, and a sealing gasket being provided between the cup base and the motor cover. Because a sealing gasket is provided between the cup base and the motor cover, the noise generated during motor operation can be reduced, and vibrations generated during motor operation can be prevented from being transmitted to the cup base to generate resonance noise, thus achieving a good noise reduction effect.

[0005] Furthermore, the motor cover is also assembled with the cup body. This makes the overall structure of the stirring cup assembly more stable and reliable.

[0006] Furthermore, the motor cover includes a cover body and a flange protruding outward from the cover body, and the sealing gasket includes a first portion disposed between the top of the cup holder and the flange. By placing the first portion of the sealing gasket between the top of the cup holder and the flange, a good vibration damping and noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing gasket includes a second portion disposed between the inner side of the cup holder and the cover body. By providing the second portion, a better shock absorption and noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0008] Furthermore, the motor assembly is fixed to the chassis or the motor cover. This allows for convenient and reliable fixation of the motor assembly. The motor cover, in conjunction with the cup body, clamps and fixes the chassis, thus ensuring convenient and reliable chassis fixation and making the overall structure of the stirring cup assembly more stable and reliable.

[0009] This application provides a food processor. The food processor includes: a base; and a mixing cup assembly as described above, assembled on the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the base includes a top surface and a receiving cavity recessed downward from the top surface. The cup holder is inserted into the receiving cavity. The sealing gasket includes a third portion that presses downward against the top surface, and the third portion seals the gap between the cup holder and the base. By having the third portion press downward against the top surface of the base, the noise generated during motor operation can be reduced, thus improving noise reduction. In addition, it can also reduce the vibration generated during motor operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the flange of the motor cover includes a mating portion located above the top surface, and the third portion is sandwiched between the mating portion and the top surface. This allows the third portion to fit more tightly with the top surface of the base, resulting in better shock absorption and noise reduction. The thickness of the third portion ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This provides the third portion with better shock absorption while maintaining a lower cost.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing gasket includes a fourth portion located between the outer side of the cup holder and the inner wall of the receiving cavity. This achieves better shock absorption and noise reduction, resulting in a superior user experience.

[0013] Furthermore, the gap between the fourth part and the inner wall of the receiving cavity ranges from 0 mm to 3 mm. This allows for easier installation of the stirring cup assembly onto the base and easier removal of the stirring cup assembly from the base. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 9 The food processor 100 can be used to make soy milk, rice paste, juice, etc. The food processor 100 includes a base 40 and a blending cup assembly 60, which is assembled onto the base 40. The base 40 includes a housing (not shown) and a control circuit board (not shown) disposed within the housing. The food processor 100 also includes a soundproof cover 70 that encloses the blending cup assembly 60.

[0018] The mixing cup assembly 60 includes a mixing cup 10, a motor assembly 20, and a motor cover 30. The mixing cup 10 includes a cup body 11, a cup base 12, and a base 119, with the base 119 disposed at the bottom of the cup body 11. The motor assembly 20 is disposed within the cup base 12 and includes a motor 21 located below the base 119. The output shaft 211 of the motor 21 passes through the base 119 and is connected to a stirring blade 215.

[0019] A motor cover 30 is fitted over the motor assembly 20. The motor cover 30 is assembled with the cup holder 12, and a sealing gasket 29 is provided between the cup holder 12 and the motor cover 30. The sealing gasket 29 is made of a soft material such as silicone. The cup holder 12 can be fixed to the motor cover 30 by fasteners or other means.

[0020] A stirring blade 215 is provided at the top of the motor shaft 211. The stirring cup 10 is used to hold food ingredients, and the stirring blade 215 is used to stir and pulverize the food ingredients in the stirring cup 10. The base 119 is also provided with a heating element 118 to heat the food ingredients in the stirring cup 10.

[0021] Because a sealing gasket 29 is provided between the cup holder 12 and the motor cover 30, the noise generated by the motor 21 during operation can be reduced, and the vibration generated by the motor 21 during operation can be prevented from being transmitted to the cup holder 12 to generate resonance noise. In this way, a good noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0022] The motor cover 30 is also assembled with the cup body 11. This makes the overall structure of the stirring cup assembly 60 more stable and reliable.

[0023] The motor cover 30 includes a cover body 31 and a flange 32 protruding outward from the cover body 31. The sealing gasket 29 includes a first portion 291 disposed between the top of the cup holder 12 and the flange 32. By disposing the first portion 291 of the sealing gasket 29 between the top of the cup holder 12 and the flange 32, a good vibration reduction and noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sealing gasket 29 includes a second portion 292 disposed between the inner side of the cup holder 12 and the cover body 31. By providing the second portion 292, a better shock absorption and noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0025] The motor assembly 20 is fixed to the base 119 or the motor cover 30, thus providing convenient and reliable fixation of the motor assembly 20. The motor cover 30 mates with the cup body 11 to clamp and fix the base 119, thereby providing convenient and reliable fixation of the base 119 and making the overall structure of the stirring cup assembly 20 more stable and reliable. In the illustrated embodiment, the motor assembly 20 is fixed to the base 119 by means of threaded parts, welding, etc., but is not limited to these methods.

[0026] The base 40 includes a top surface 41 and a receiving cavity 42 recessed downward from the top surface 41. The cup holder 12 is inserted into the receiving cavity 42. The sealing gasket 29 includes a third portion 293 that presses downward against the top surface 41, sealing the gap between the cup holder 12 and the base 40. By having the third portion 293 press downward against the top surface 41 of the base 40, the noise generated by the motor 21 during operation can be further reduced, thus improving noise reduction. In addition, the vibration generated by the motor 21 during operation can also be reduced.

[0027] The aforementioned sealing gasket 29 can simultaneously seal the gap between the cup holder 12 and the motor cover 30, as well as the gap between the cup holder and the base 40, achieving a better noise reduction effect.

[0028] The flange 32 of the motor cover 30 includes a mating portion 321 located above the top surface 41. The third portion 293 is sandwiched between the mating portion 321 and the top surface 41. This allows the third portion 293 to fit more tightly with the top surface 41 of the base 40, thereby achieving better shock absorption and noise reduction. In the illustrated embodiment, the surface in contact between the mating portion 321 and the third portion 293 is a plane, but it is not limited to this.

[0029] Preferably, the thickness H of the third portion 293 ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This results in the third portion 293 having better shock absorption and lower cost.

[0030] In some embodiments, the thickness H of the third portion 293 can be 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0031] The top surface 41 includes an abutment surface 411 that mates with the third portion 293, the width of which is equal to or greater than the width of the third portion 293. This allows the abutment surface 411 to better mate with the third portion 293 of the sealing gasket 29, thereby achieving better shock absorption and noise reduction. The abutment surface 411 can be flat or curved, and is not limited thereto.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The sealing gasket 29 includes a fourth portion 294 located between the outer side of the cup holder 12 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 42. This provides better shock absorption and noise reduction, resulting in a superior user experience.

[0033] The gap G between the fourth part 294 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 42 ranges from 0 mm to 3 mm. This makes it easier to install the stirring cup assembly 60 onto the base 40 and to remove the stirring cup assembly 60 from the base 40.

[0034] In some embodiments, the gap G between the fourth portion 294 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 42 can be 0 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0035] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 29 includes only the first portion 291, the third portion 293, and the fourth portion 294, excluding the second portion 292. Please refer to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 29 includes only the first part 291, the second part 292, and the third part 293, but does not include the fourth part 294.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
