Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a user-friendly food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Existing food processors typically include a main unit, a grinding cup containing a mixing element within the main unit, and a motor that drives the mixing element. When using the food processor, the user places ingredients into the grinding cup, and the mixing element rotates at high speed driven by the motor to process the ingredients. However, the grinding cup of existing food processors is exposed, and when the food processor is in operation, noise generated inside the cup is projected through the feeding lid or the cup wall, resulting in significant noise. To address this issue, the applicant's earlier patent application CN214964814U discloses a food processor with an optimized noise reduction structure. A fixed wall is provided on the end face of the main unit, forming an upper cavity that accommodates the cup, surrounding at least a portion of the cup. A water tank is mounted on the main unit around at least a portion of the fixed wall. The fixed wall and the water tank form a multi-layered sound insulation structure around the cup, achieving noise reduction.

[0003] However, with the water tank positioned at the top, there is redundant space at the back of the main unit. To power the motor and other electrical components, a power cord is usually installed for external connection and power supply, ensuring the food processor operates normally. If the power cord is not properly secured after use, it can easily become tangled or damaged, affecting the equipment's lifespan and ease of operation. Additionally, some food processors are equipped with accessories for food processing, such as measuring cups for more precise ingredient addition. However, users have found that after use, the measuring cups are often left unused and may be forgotten, leading to their loss. A food processor, as shown in CN219661523U, has a first mounting position and a second mounting position on the blending cup and base, respectively. The first mounting position secures the components, while the second mounting position stores them. This not only enhances the product's versatility but also its storage capacity, preventing the loss of either the first or second mounting component when not in use. Those skilled in the art, when faced with such a water tank-top model, might be motivated to apply the food processor's design by adding a support or similar structure to the back of the main unit to centrally store the power cord and accessories, thus utilizing the redundant space at the back. However, directly adding a support or similar structure can lead to a bulky overall structure, and the protruding support at the back of the main unit will occupy extra space and is prone to collision with the wall, severely impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient food processing machine that solves the problem of how to effectively utilize the redundant space on the back of the main unit to achieve orderly storage of power cords and accessories, while placing the water tank on the main unit and surrounding it on the outside of the cup body in existing food processing machines to improve noise reduction.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a convenient food processing machine, including a main unit, a grinding cup with a stirring element inside the main unit, and a motor for driving the stirring element to rotate. A water tank communicating with the grinding cup is provided on the upper surface of the main unit. The main unit also includes a power cord and a mating part that can be detached from the main unit. The main unit includes a main unit housing, and a recessed storage groove is provided on the back of the main unit housing. The power cord and the mating part can be stored in the storage groove. The projection of the water tank in the horizontal plane covers the storage groove.

[0006] This application significantly reduces the lateral dimensions of the food processor by placing the water tank on the upper surface of the main unit, allowing users to flexibly place the machine in smaller spaces and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, water in the tank can directly enter the grinding cup by gravity, eliminating the need for a separate water pump to transport water from the tank to the grinding cup, simplifying the overall design, reducing production costs, and further improving the machine's compactness. In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processor, a storage rack is provided within the storage compartment, fixedly connected to the main unit housing. The power cord and accessories can be fixed to the storage rack. Additionally, the back of the main unit housing has an inwardly recessed storage groove where the power cord and accessories can be stored. This allows users to neatly store the power cord and accessories after use, preventing clutter caused by random placement, improving overall tidiness and space utilization, and reducing the risk of loss due to careless placement. This further enhances ease of use and product practicality. Meanwhile, with the power cord and accessories neatly stored in the storage compartment, they do not protrude from the back of the main unit, effectively preventing them from taking up too much space and posing a risk of collision with the wall. Furthermore, the water tank's projection across the storage compartment creates a relatively enclosed space when the unit is placed near a wall in the kitchen. This effectively conceals the power cord and accessories within the storage compartment, improving aesthetics and preventing dust from entering and keeping the interior clean. Additionally, noise generated during food processing is partially absorbed and blocked within this enclosed space, reducing noise transmission and improving overall noise reduction. Combined with the water tank's ability to shield the cup, this reduces noise within the cup itself, resulting in dual noise reduction for the entire unit and further optimizing the user's operating environment.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, a storage rack is provided inside the storage compartment and is fixedly connected to the main unit housing. The power cord and fittings can be fixed to the storage rack.

[0008] By providing a storage bracket that is fixedly connected to the main unit housing inside the storage slot, and by fixing the power cord and its components to the storage bracket, the power cord and its components can be stably stored, effectively preventing them from falling off due to shaking or external force, ensuring the stable storage of the power cord and its components in the storage slot, and the copper welding wire improves the regularity of the inside of the storage slot.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processor, the storage bracket has an outwardly protruding and vertically extending surrounding column, around which the power cord is wound.

[0010] By incorporating outward-protruding, vertically extending spiral posts on the storage rack, and winding the power cord around these posts, users can neatly wind the power cord around the posts after using the food processor. This prevents the power cord from becoming loose or tangled with other components, further enhancing storage stability and ease of operation. Simultaneously, the vertical extension of the spiral posts allows for their length, reducing the number of turns the power cord needs to wrap. This prevents excessive bending and damage to the power cord due to excessive winding, extending its lifespan. Furthermore, it avoids excessive thickness when the power cord is wound too thickly, which could cause it to slip off the spiral posts.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the surrounding column is further provided with limiting ribs extending radially outward along the surrounding column.

[0012] By providing limiting ribs that extend radially outward along the surrounding column, the limiting ribs can effectively limit the power cord after it is wound around the surrounding column, preventing the power cord from coming loose due to vibration or external force during movement, and ensuring that the power cord remains stable in the stored state.

[0013] In a preferred implementation of a user-friendly food processing machine, the length of the power cord is an integer multiple of the circumference of the sidewall of the column.

[0014] By making the length of the power cord an integer multiple of the circumference of the side wall of the surrounding column, the end of the power cord can be located at the starting position of the winding when it is wound around the surrounding column. This ensures that the power cord is neatly stored after winding and that the power cord fits tightly and stably with the surrounding column.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the fitting component is a measuring cup, which includes a body and a handle extending outward from the body. The storage bracket is provided with a placement slot for accommodating the body and a baffle for fixing the handle.

[0016] By using a measuring cup as the fitting component, users can directly weigh and add ingredients while using the food processor, reducing the need for intermediate containers and improving operational convenience. The storage rack features a slot to hold the main unit and a baffle to secure the handle. When not in use, the measuring cup can be placed in the slot, and the handle can be fixed to the baffle, achieving double-locking and securing of the measuring cup. This effectively prevents the measuring cup from shaking or falling off during transportation or movement, improving the overall compactness and safety of the machine's storage.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the baffle includes a first baffle disposed near the placement slot and a second baffle disposed away from the placement slot. The first baffle and the second baffle extend along the handle extension direction and are staggered, with the handle clamped between the first baffle and the second baffle.

[0018] By setting the baffle to include a first baffle located near the placement slot and a second baffle located away from the placement slot, with the first baffle and the second baffle extending along the handle extension direction and being staggered, the handle is clamped between the first baffle and the second baffle. After the handle is placed in place, the staggered structure of the first baffle and the second baffle can form a double limit and clamp, further improving the limiting effect on the handle and ensuring the stable fixation of the measuring cup in the storage state.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the bottom wall of the storage tank is provided with an insertion hole into which the plug of the power cord can be inserted.

[0020] By providing sockets on the bottom wall of the storage compartment, the plug of the power cord can be inserted into the socket. This ensures that the plug can be inserted into the socket when storing the power cord, preventing the plug from shaking or interfering with other parts, thus ensuring the overall storage of the power cord and further improving the neatness and safety of the power cord storage.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the bottom wall of the storage tank is provided with ventilation holes that communicate with the interior of the main unit.

[0022] By incorporating ventilation holes in the bottom wall of the storage tank that connect to the main unit, heat generated during operation can be dissipated promptly, effectively preventing heat buildup that could lead to component aging or performance degradation, thus improving the overall stability and safety of the machine. Simultaneously, the ventilation openings on the bottom wall of the storage tank allow noise transmitted through them to be partially absorbed and blocked within the enclosed space formed between the water tank, storage tank, and wall, effectively reducing noise transmission and enhancing the overall noise reduction effect of the machine.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processing machine, the back sidewall of the water tank is vertically flush with the opening of the receiving trough.

[0024] By aligning the back sidewall of the water tank vertically with the opening of the storage slot, the back of the water tank fits against the wall when the food processor is placed against the wall. This effectively seals the opening of the storage slot, creating a closed noise-reducing space and further enhancing the noise reduction effect, thus effectively reducing the external transmission of noise during the operation of the main unit.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a convenient food processing machine, including a main unit 1, a grinding cup with a stirring component inside the main unit 1, and a motor for driving the stirring component to rotate. A water tank 2 communicating with the grinding cup is provided on the upper surface of the main unit 1. The main unit 1 is also provided with a power cord 5 and a fitting part 3 that can be detached from the main unit 1. The main unit 1 includes a main unit housing 11. A recessed storage groove 111 is provided on the back of the main unit housing 11. The power cord 5 and the fitting part 3 can be stored in the storage groove 111. The projection of the water tank 2 in the horizontal plane covers the storage groove 111.

[0030] This application significantly reduces the lateral dimensions of the food processor by placing the water tank 2 on the upper surface of the main unit 1, allowing users to flexibly place the machine in a smaller space and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the water in the water tank 2 can directly enter the grinding cup by gravity, eliminating the need for a separate water pump to transport the water from the tank 2 to the grinding cup, simplifying the overall design, reducing production costs, and further improving the overall compactness. In a preferred embodiment of a user-friendly food processor, the storage slot 111 is equipped with a storage bracket 4 fixedly connected to the main unit housing 11, and the power cord 5 and the mating component 3 can be fixed to the storage bracket 4. Meanwhile, the back of the main unit housing 11 has an inwardly recessed storage groove 111, in which the power cord 5 and the fitting 3 can be stored. This allows users to place the power cord 5 and the fitting 3 in the storage groove after using the food processor, achieving reasonable storage of the power cord 5 and the fitting 3, avoiding the clutter caused by random placement, improving overall tidiness and space utilization, and preventing the risk of loss due to users placing the fitting 3 randomly. This further enhances ease of use and product practicality. Furthermore, after the power cord 5 and the fitting 3 are stored in the storage groove, they will not protrude from the back of the main unit 1, effectively avoiding the problem of the power cord 5 and the fitting 3 occupying extra space and easily colliding with the wall. Furthermore, the projection of the water tank 2 onto the horizontal plane covers the storage slot 111, allowing the water tank 2, the storage slot 111, and the wall to form a relatively enclosed space when the user places the entire unit near the wall in the kitchen. On one hand, this can conceal the power cord 5 and the mating parts 3 inside the storage slot 111, improving the overall visual aesthetics and preventing dust from falling into the storage slot 111, keeping the interior clean. On the other hand, the noise transmitted backward by the machine during food processing can be partially absorbed and blocked within the enclosed space formed by the water tank 2, the storage slot 111, and the wall, effectively reducing the transmission of noise to the outside and improving the overall noise reduction effect of the machine. At the same time, combined with the shielding effect of the water tank 2 on the cup body, the water tank 2 reduces the noise inside the cup, thus achieving dual noise reduction for the overall machine operation, further optimizing the user's operating environment.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the storage slot 111 is provided with a storage bracket 4 that is fixedly connected to the main unit housing 11, and the power cord 5 and the fitting 3 can be fixed on the storage bracket 4.

[0032] By providing a storage bracket 4 fixedly connected to the main unit housing 11 inside the storage slot 111, and fixing the power cord 5 and the mating part 3 to the storage bracket 4, the power cord 5 and the mating part 3 are stably stored, effectively preventing them from falling off due to shaking or external force, ensuring that the storage slot 111 stably stores the power cord 5 and the mating part 3, and the copper welding wire improves the regularity inside the storage slot 111.

[0033] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the relative relationship between the storage bracket 4 and the main unit housing 11; it can be that the main unit housing 11 and the storage bracket 4 are integrally formed; or it can be, as... Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of this application, the main unit housing 11 and the storage bracket 4 are formed separately and are fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the storage bracket 4 has an outwardly protruding and vertically extending surrounding column 41, and the power cord 5 is wound around the surrounding column 41.

[0035] By incorporating an outwardly protruding and vertically extending wrapping post 41 into the storage bracket 4, and winding the power cord 5 around the wrapping post 41, users can neatly wind the power cord 5 around the wrapping post 41 after using the food processor, preventing the power cord 5 from loosening or tangling with other components, thus further improving storage stability and ease of operation. Simultaneously, the vertical extension design of the wrapping post 41 allows it to be set longer, thereby reducing the number of turns of the power cord 5. This prevents excessive bending and damage to the power cord 5 due to excessive turns, extending its lifespan, and also prevents the power cord 5 from slipping off the wrapping post 41 due to excessive winding thickness.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surrounding column 41 is also provided with a limiting rib 411 extending radially outward along the surrounding column 41.

[0037] By providing a limiting rib 411 extending radially outward along the surrounding post 41, the limiting rib 411 can effectively limit the power cord 5 after it is wound around the surrounding post 41, preventing the power cord 5 from coming loose due to vibration or external force during movement, and ensuring that the power cord 5 remains stable in the stored state.

[0038] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the setting of the limiting rib 411. As one preferred option in this application, such as Figure 5As shown, multiple limiting ribs 411 are provided and are spaced apart along the circumference of the surrounding column 41; of course, the limiting ribs 411 are not limited to the above-mentioned arrangement, and can also be limiting ribs 411 forming a complete circle along the circumference of the surrounding column 41.

[0039] It should also be noted that this application does not specifically limit the relative relationship between the surrounding post 41 and the power line 5. As a preferred embodiment of this application, the length of the power line 5 is an integer multiple of the circumference of the side wall of the surrounding post 41.

[0040] By making the length of the power cord 5 an integer multiple of the circumference of the side wall of the surrounding post 41, the winding end of the power cord 5 can be located at the starting winding position of the surrounding post 41 when it is wound around the surrounding post 41. This ensures that the power cord 5 is neatly stored after winding and that the power cord 5 and the surrounding post 41 fit together tightly and stably.

[0041] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the structure of mating part 3. As one preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fitting part 3 is a measuring cup, which includes a body 31 and a handle 32 extending outward from the body 31. The storage bracket 4 is provided with a placement groove 42 for accommodating the body 31 and a baffle for fixing the handle 32.

[0042] By setting the fitting part 3 as a measuring cup, users can directly use the measuring cup to weigh and add ingredients when using the food processor, reducing the use of intermediate containers and improving operational convenience. At the same time, the storage bracket 4 has a placement slot 42 to accommodate the main body 31 and a baffle to fix the handle 32, so that when the measuring cup is not in use, the main body 31 can be placed in the placement slot 42, and the handle 32 can be fixed to the baffle, achieving double limiting and fixing of the measuring cup, effectively preventing the measuring cup from shaking or falling off during transportation or movement, and improving the compactness and safety of the entire machine's storage.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the baffle includes a first baffle 43 disposed near the placement groove 42 and a second baffle 44 disposed away from the placement groove 42. The first baffle 43 and the second baffle 44 extend along the extension direction of the handle 32 and are staggered. The handle 32 is clamped between the first baffle 43 and the second baffle 44.

[0044] By setting the baffle to include a first baffle 43 located near the placement slot 42 and a second baffle 44 located away from the placement slot 42, and with the first baffle 43 and the second baffle 44 extending along the extension direction of the handle 32 and being staggered, the handle 32 is clamped between the first baffle 43 and the second baffle 44, so that after the handle 32 is placed in place, it can form a double limit and clamp through the staggered structure of the first baffle 43 and the second baffle 44, further improving the limiting effect on the handle 32 and ensuring the stable fixation of the measuring cup in the storage state.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the storage slot 111 is provided with a socket, and the plug 51 of the power cord 5 can be inserted into the socket.

[0046] By providing a socket on the bottom wall of the storage slot 111, the plug 51 of the power cord 5 can be inserted into the socket. This allows the plug 51 to be inserted into the socket when the power cord 5 is stored, preventing the plug 51 from shaking or interfering with other components. This ensures the overall storage function of the power cord 5 and further improves the neatness and safety of the power cord 5 storage.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the storage slot 111 is provided with a ventilation hole 112 that communicates with the inside of the main unit 1.

[0048] By providing ventilation holes 112 on the bottom wall of the storage tank 111 that communicate with the interior of the main unit 1, the heat generated by the main unit 1 during operation can be dissipated in a timely manner through the ventilation holes 112, effectively preventing component aging or performance degradation caused by heat accumulation, and improving the stability and safety of the entire machine. At the same time, the ventilation holes are located on the bottom wall of the storage tank 111, so that noise transmitted outward through the ventilation holes 112 can be partially absorbed and blocked within the enclosed space formed between the water tank 2, the storage tank 111, and the wall, thereby effectively reducing the transmission of noise to the outside and improving the overall noise reduction effect of the machine.

[0049] It should be noted that this application does not specifically limit the relative positional relationship between the water tank 2 and the storage tank 111. As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the back side wall of the water tank 2 is flush with the opening of the storage slot 111 in the vertical direction.

[0050] By aligning the back sidewall of the water tank 2 with the opening of the storage slot 111 vertically, the back of the water tank 2 is flush with the wall when the food processor is placed against the wall. This effectively seals the opening of the storage slot 111, creating a closed noise reduction space and further enhancing the noise reduction effect, thus effectively reducing the external transmission of noise during the operation of the main unit 1.

[0051] The technical solutions protected by this utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. It should be noted that any combination of the technical solutions of any embodiment with one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
