Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mixers, and more particularly to a mixing cup and a mixer. Background Technology

[0002] A blender, consisting of a mixing base and a mixing cup, is a kitchen appliance used for mixing and blending food. It is widely used in making juices, smoothies, sauces, and more.

[0003] Existing mixing cups have multiple ribs on the inner wall of the mixing chamber to change the flow direction of materials and improve mixing efficiency. However, during the mixing process, the materials flow at high speed along the inner wall under centrifugal force, which easily generates eddies and bubbles, thereby increasing noise. Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a new type of mixing cup that can reduce noise to meet practical application needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a mixing cup that addresses the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] A mixing cup includes a cup body and a cup lid. The cup body has a mixing chamber and a mixing blade inside the lower side. The lower end of the mixing blade extends downward from the lower side of the mixing chamber. The lower side wall inside the mixing chamber has a centrally protruding flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib. An inclined surface is provided on the centrally protruding side of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib. The inclination direction of the inclined surface is consistent with the rotation direction of the mixing blade.

[0006] As described above, in the stirring cup, the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs are gradually inclined outwards from bottom to top.

[0007] As described above, the stirring cup has multiple spaced-apart and centrally protruding turbulence sections on the inner sidewall of the stirring chamber, each of which includes:

[0008] The turbulence surface bulges inward and gradually extends outward from bottom to top;

[0009] The ribs are integrally formed on the inner side of the turbulence surface along the extension direction of the turbulence surface, and are convex inward.

[0010] As described above, in the stirring cup, the height of the turbulence rib is higher than the height of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib.

[0011] As described above, in the stirring cup, the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs are integrally formed on the inner side of any one of the flow-disrupting ribs.

[0012] As described above, the mixing cup has a handle on the right side of the outer side of the cup body, and a guide nozzle connected to the mixing chamber is opened on the upper left side of the cup body.

[0013] The mixing cup described above is made of a transparent material.

[0014] This application also provides a mixer, including the aforementioned mixing cup and a mixing base disposed below the mixing cup.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the above application has the following advantages:

[0016] This application guides the material towards the center through the inclined surface of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs, effectively reducing the contact between the material and the inner wall of the mixing chamber, thereby reducing the noise generated by the material impacting the inner wall of the mixing chamber during the mixing process. In addition, the material forms an orderly vortex circulation under the guidance of the inclined surface, which is conducive to improving the mixing efficiency, thereby saving mixing time and effectively reducing the mixing power, thus reducing energy consumption and improving the overall user experience. It has good practicality and market application prospects. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a stirring cup includes a cup body 100 and a cup lid (not shown in the figure). The cup body 100 has a stirring chamber 11, and a stirring blade (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the lower side inside the cup body 100. The lower end of the stirring blade extends downward from the lower side of the stirring chamber 11. The lower side wall inside the stirring chamber 11 is provided with a centrally protruding flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib 13. An inclined surface 131 is provided on the centrally protruding side of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib 13. The inclination direction of the inclined surface 131 is consistent with the rotation direction of the stirring blade.

[0026] The mixing cup of this application guides the material to converge towards the center through the inclined surface 131 of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs 13, effectively reducing the contact between the material and the inner wall of the mixing chamber 11, thereby reducing the noise generated by the material hitting the inner wall of the mixing chamber 11 during the mixing process; in addition, the material forms an orderly vortex circulation under the guidance of the inclined surface 131, which is conducive to improving the mixing efficiency, thereby saving the mixing time and effectively reducing the mixing power, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall user experience, which has good practicality and market application prospects.

[0027] The mixing cup of this application was compared with a mixing cup without the aforementioned flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs 13 under the same working conditions. The results showed that the noise level could be reduced by approximately 3 to 5 decibels.

[0028] Furthermore, the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs 13 are gradually inclined outwards from bottom to top. This inclined structure helps to further guide the material to roll upwards, forming a more stable vortex and preventing material from settling at the bottom, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing. At the same time, since the collision between the material and the inner wall of the mixing chamber 11 is reduced, it is beneficial to further reduce noise.

[0029] Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the stirring chamber 11 is provided with a plurality of spaced and protruding turbulence portions 12, each of which includes a turbulence curved surface 121 and a turbulence rib 122.

[0030] The turbulence-inducing surface 121 protrudes inward and gradually extends outward from bottom to top; the turbulence-inducing rib 122 is integrally formed on the inner side of the turbulence-inducing surface 121 along the extension direction of the turbulence-inducing surface 121, and is bulging inward. The mixing cup of this application adopts the structural design of the turbulence-inducing part 12, which allows the fluid to spiral upward along the turbulence-inducing surface 121 during stirring, and enhances the turbulence effect under the action of the turbulence-inducing rib 122, further improving stirring efficiency and effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the position height of the turbulence rib 122 is higher than the position height of the flow guiding and noise reduction rib 13.

[0032] The flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib 13 is integrally formed inside any one of the flow-disrupting ribs 122. This creates a continuous flow-guiding and flow-disrupting synergistic structure, allowing the material to quickly converge towards the center and spiral upward along the flow-disrupting surface in the initial stage of mixing, avoiding dead zones and improving mixing uniformity. At the same time, the integrated design of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing rib 13 and the flow-disrupting rib 122 simplifies the mold structure and reduces production costs.

[0033] Furthermore, the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs 13 are located within the working height range of the stirring blade, or slightly above the working height of the stirring blade. The advantage is that they can block the central vortex formed by the fluid rotating with the blade, allowing the material to participate more fully in shearing and mixing.

[0034] Furthermore, the cup body 100 has a handle 14 on its outer right side, and a guide nozzle 15 connected to the stirring chamber 11 is provided on its upper left side. This is to meet practical usage requirements.

[0035] Furthermore, the cup body 100 is made of a transparent material. This is to allow the user to easily observe the mixing state of the materials within the mixing chamber 11. The transparent material is preferably transparent plastic, which has good light transmittance and impact resistance, while also reducing overall weight and facilitating molding and production.

[0036] Furthermore, the stirring blade includes a blade shaft and at least two sets of blades, the blades being inclined and fixed to the outer periphery of the blade shaft. This stirring blade structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] This application also mentions a mixer, including the aforementioned mixing cup and a mixing base (not shown in the figure) disposed below the mixing cup. The mixing base is equipped with a drive motor, a PCB circuit board electrically connected to the drive motor, and an electronic control panel electrically connected to the PCB circuit board. The output shaft of the drive motor can be connected to the lower end of the mixing blade, thereby driving the mixing blade to rotate at high speed, achieving the mixing effect on the materials in the mixing chamber. This mixing base is prior art and will not be described further.

[0038] The mixing cup of this application guides the material to converge towards the center through the inclined surface 131 of the flow-guiding and noise-reducing ribs 13, effectively reducing the contact between the material and the inner wall of the mixing chamber 11, thereby reducing the noise generated by the material hitting the inner wall of the mixing chamber 11 during the mixing process; in addition, the material forms an orderly vortex circulation under the guidance of the inclined surface 131, which is conducive to improving the mixing efficiency, thereby saving the mixing time and effectively reducing the mixing power, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve the overall user experience, which has good practicality and market application prospects.

[0039] The above description is one implementation method provided in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this application is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this application, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this application, should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
