Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a cup lid 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 can mainly include, but are not limited to, making soy milk, juicing, making rice paste, mincing meat, shaved ice, making coffee, and / or preparing face masks. Existing food processors can usually only crush and cook ingredients to make a paste, which takes a long time. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a cup lid assembly and a food processor that can bake ingredients to shorten the pulping time.

[0004] This application provides a cup lid assembly, which includes: a cup lid; and a baking assembly disposed on the cup lid. The baking assembly includes a baking chamber, a heating element, and a chamber door. The heating element is used to bake the food inside the baking chamber. The baking chamber is provided with a feeding port. The chamber door includes a blocking part that cooperates with the feeding port and a chamber door pushing part connected to the blocking part. When the chamber door pushing part is pushed, it drives the blocking part to open or close the feeding port. By incorporating a baking component in the lid, the food processor operates by placing ingredients in the baking chamber. The heating element heats the ingredients, baking them. After baking, the liquid in the mixing cup is agitated by the mixing blades, causing the door to open due to the force of the liquid. This allows the baked ingredients to fall directly into the mixing cup, where the mixing blades pulverize them. Because the ingredients are baked, they do not require prolonged cooking, effectively shortening the pulping time. Simultaneously, the force generated by the mixing blades pushes the door from a closed to an open state, facilitating the dispensing process. This eliminates the need for a motor or other drive mechanism to control the door's opening and closing, resulting in a simpler and lower-cost structure.

[0005] Furthermore, the cup lid assembly also includes a stirring assembly, which includes a stirring element and a stirring pusher connected to the stirring element. The stirring element is located inside the baking chamber, and the stirring pusher is located outside the baking chamber. When the stirring pusher is subjected to a pushing force, it drives the stirring element to move. During the baking of food, the liquid in the mixing cup is agitated by the stirring blade, generating a pushing force that drives the stirring pusher, causing the stirring pusher to move together with the stirring element. This allows the stirring element to stir the food in the baking chamber, resulting in more even baking and preventing burning.

[0006] Furthermore, the baking chamber includes a mounting column, and the chamber door is rotatably assembled to the mounting column. Thus, the chamber door can be switched between a closed and open state by rotation, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0007] Furthermore, the stirring component includes a stirring body and a first connecting portion, and the stirring pusher includes a pushing body and a second connecting portion. The mounting post has a through hole, and the second connecting portion rotatably passes through the through hole, and the second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the first connecting portion. Thus, when the stirring pusher is pushed by the liquid, it drives the stirring component to rotate, thereby achieving the stirring of the food ingredients.

[0008] Furthermore, a first sealing ring forms a seal between the first connecting part and the bottom wall of the baking chamber, and the first sealing ring is fitted onto the second connecting part. Thus, by setting the first sealing ring, steam generated inside the mixing cup is prevented from entering the baking chamber, resulting in better baking performance and a richer, more flavorful final beverage.

[0009] Furthermore, the gap between the stirring body and the bottom wall of the baking chamber is between 0.2 mm and 5 mm. This ensures that all ingredients at the bottom of the baking chamber are stirred by the stirring body, further guaranteeing more even baking.

[0010] Furthermore, the door pushing part is provided with a clearance space, and the pushing body includes a first part that matches the clearance space and a second part that connects to the first part, with the second part located below the door pushing part. By providing the clearance space, interference between the pushing body and the door pushing part during rotation is avoided.

[0011] Furthermore, the baking chamber includes a limiting part. When the material-blocking part closes the material inlet, the limiting part abuts against the material-blocking part in a first direction; when the material-blocking part opens the material inlet, the limiting part abuts against the material-blocking part in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite. The limiting part and the material-blocking part cooperate to limit the movement of the chamber door, ensuring that the material-blocking part reliably closes the material inlet during the baking process.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating element is a carbon fiber heating tube, a heating element, or a heating wire.

[0013] Furthermore, the cup lid assembly also includes a reflector and a glass plate assembled with the reflector. The heating element is disposed between the reflector and the glass plate, with the reflective surface of the reflector facing the baking chamber, so that the reflector reflects the heat generated by the heating element to the baking chamber. In this way, the carbon fiber heating tube has high heating efficiency, and the reflector reflects the infrared radiation generated by the carbon fiber heating tube towards the baking chamber, which further improves the heating efficiency, resulting in higher baking efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, the cup lid includes a lid body and an upper cover assembled to the lid body, the baking chamber is assembled to the lid body, and the reflector, the glass plate, and the heating element are assembled to the upper cover. This makes the cup lid assembly easy to assemble.

[0015] Furthermore, the cup lid also includes a fixing cylinder, which cooperates with the upper cover to fix the reflector and the glass plate. This allows for convenient and reliable fixing of the reflector and the glass plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the cup lid also includes a vent cap disposed on the upper cover, and the fixed cylinder has a venting channel corresponding to the vent cap. This enables venting.

[0017] Furthermore, the radial dimension of the discharge port is between 30 mm and 50 mm. This allows both large and small particles of food in the baking chamber to fall into the mixing cup through the discharge port.

[0018] Furthermore, the baking chamber is detachably assembled to the cup lid. This facilitates cleaning of the baking chamber.

[0019] This application provides a food processor, which includes: a blending cup assembly, including a blending cup and a blending blade disposed at the bottom of the blending cup; and a lid assembly as described above, which covers the blending cup assembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The food processor 100 of this application includes a blending cup assembly 50 and a lid assembly 60, with the lid assembly 60 covering the blending cup assembly 50. The blending cup assembly 50 includes a blending cup 51 and a blending blade 52 disposed at the bottom of the blending cup 51. The blending cup 51 is used to hold ingredients, and the blending blade 52 is used to blend and pulverize the ingredients in the blending cup 51.

[0023] In the illustrated embodiment, the mixing cup assembly 50 further includes a motor 53 disposed at the bottom of the mixing cup 51, and the mixing blade 52 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 53. In other embodiments, the food processor 100 includes a main unit, with the motor disposed within the main unit, and the mixing blade 52 and the output shaft of the motor connected via upper and lower clutches.

[0024] The cup lid assembly 60 includes a cup lid 10 and a baking assembly 20. The baking assembly 20 is disposed on the cup lid 10. The baking assembly 20 includes a baking chamber 21, a heating element 22, and a chamber door 23. The heating element 22 is used to bake the food in the baking chamber 21. The baking chamber 21 is provided with a feeding port 211. The chamber door 23 includes a baffle part 231 that cooperates with the feeding port 211 and a chamber door push part 232 that is connected to the baffle part 231. When the chamber door push part 232 is pushed, it drives the baffle part 231 to open or close the feeding port 211.

[0025] Since the baking component 20 is located on the lid 10, and the lid 10 covers the mixing cup 51, when the food processor 100 is working, the ingredients are placed in the baking chamber 21, and the heating element 22 heats up to bake the ingredients in the baking chamber 21. After the baking process is completed, the liquid in the mixing cup 51 is stirred by the stirring blade 52, causing the door push part 232 to be pushed by the liquid and drive the baffle part 231 to open the discharge port 211, so that the baked ingredients fall directly into the mixing cup 51 through the discharge port 211. Then the stirring blade 52 stirs and crushes the ingredients. Since the ingredients are baked, they can be cooked or have their enzymes deactivated. Thus, the ingredients falling into the mixing cup 51 do not need to be cooked for a long time, thereby effectively shortening the pulping time. At the same time, the pushing force generated by the stirring blade 52 of the liquid in the mixing cup 51 pushes the door 23 from the closed state to the open state, thereby realizing the discharge. There is no need to control the opening or closing of the door 23 through a motor or other drive, which makes the structure simpler and the cost lower. Baking the ingredients before making the paste also helps to improve the taste.

[0026] The baking chamber 21 includes a mounting post 212, and the chamber door 23 is rotatably assembled to the mounting post 212. Thus, the chamber door 23 can be switched between a closed and open state by rotation, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble. In the illustrated embodiment, the end of the mounting post 212 is provided with a nut 2121 and a washer 2122 to position the chamber door 23.

[0027] The baking chamber 21 includes a limiting part 215. When the material blocking part 231 closes the material discharge port 211, the limiting part 215 abuts against the material blocking part 231 in a first direction; when the material blocking part 231 opens the material discharge port 211, the limiting part 215 abuts against the material blocking part 231 in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite. The limiting part 215 and the material blocking part 231 cooperate to limit the chamber door 23, so that the material blocking part 231 reliably closes the material discharge port 211 during the baking process.

[0028] The cup lid assembly 60 also includes a stirring assembly 30, which includes a stirring element 31 and a stirring pusher 32 connected to the stirring element 31. The stirring element 31 is located inside the baking chamber 21, and the stirring pusher 32 is located outside the baking chamber 21. When the stirring pusher 32 is pushed, it drives the stirring element 31 to move. When baking food, the liquid in the stirring cup 51 is stirred by the stirring blade 52, which pushes the stirring pusher 32, causing the stirring pusher 32 to drive the stirring element 31 to move together. This allows the stirring element 31 to stir the food in the baking chamber 21, resulting in more even baking and preventing burning.

[0029] Specifically, when the baking assembly 20 bakes the food, the stirring blade 52 rotates in a first direction, causing the liquid in the stirring cup 51 to agitate in the first direction and push the stirring pusher 32. This causes the stirring pusher 32 to rotate together with the stirring member 31 in the first direction, thereby agitating the food in the baking chamber 21. During this process, the chamber door 23 remains stationary. After baking, the stirring blade 52 rotates in a second direction, causing the liquid in the stirring cup 51 to agitate in the second direction and push the chamber door pusher 232 and the stirring pusher 32. This causes the chamber door pusher 232 to rotate the material stop 231 in the second direction, thereby opening the material discharge port 211 to allow material to fall. Simultaneously, the stirring pusher 32 drives the stirring member 31 to rotate together in the second direction, using the stirring member 31 to push the food, thus assisting in the material discharge. The first and second directions are opposite. In one embodiment, the first direction is clockwise and the second direction is counterclockwise. In another embodiment, the first direction is counterclockwise and the second direction is clockwise.

[0030] When the food processor 100 is working, both the door pusher 232 and the stirring pusher 32 can be immersed in the liquid in the mixing cup 51; or, the door pusher 232 and the stirring pusher 32 can be level with the liquid in the mixing cup 51; or, the door pusher 232 and the stirring pusher 32 can be higher than the liquid level in the mixing cup 51.

[0031] The stirring component 31 includes a stirring body 311 and a first connecting portion 312. The stirring pusher 32 includes a pushing body 320 and a second connecting portion 321. The mounting post 212 has a through hole 2123, through which the second connecting portion 321 rotatably passes. The second connecting portion 321 is fixedly connected to the first connecting portion 312. Thus, when the stirring pusher 32 is pushed by the liquid, it drives the stirring component 31 to rotate together, thereby achieving the stirring of the food. In this embodiment, the mounting post 212 simultaneously enables the movable assembly of the stirring component 31 and the door 23, resulting in a simple structure. In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 321 and the first connecting portion 312 are fixedly connected by a threaded structure, facilitating assembly.

[0032] A first sealing ring 313 forms a seal between the first connecting part 312 and the bottom wall of the baking chamber 21, and the first sealing ring 313 is fitted onto the second connecting part 321. In this way, by setting the first sealing ring 313, steam generated in the stirring cup 51 is prevented from entering the baking chamber 21, resulting in a better baking effect and a more fragrant and rich beverage.

[0033] Preferably, the gap between the stirring body 311 and the bottom wall of the baking chamber 21 is between 0.2 mm and 5 mm. This ensures that all food at the bottom of the baking chamber 21 can be stirred by the stirring body 311, further guaranteeing more even baking.

[0034] In some embodiments, the gap G between the stirring body 311 and the bottom wall of the baking chamber 21 can be 0.2 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above.

[0035] The door pusher 232 is provided with a clearance space 2321. The pusher body 320 includes a first part 3201 that matches the clearance space 2321 and a second part 3202 that connects to the first part 3201. The second part 3202 is located below the door pusher 232. By providing the clearance space 2321, interference between the pusher body 320 and the door pusher 232 during rotation is avoided, and their tight fit reduces pushing resistance to a certain extent.

[0036] The main body 320 is partially housed in the clearance space 2321. While ensuring a tight fit, it also ensures that the main body 320 has sufficient force-bearing surface, thereby providing sufficient power for the rotation of the mixing component 31 and ensuring the mixing effect of the mixing component 31.

[0037] In some embodiments, the heating element 22 is a carbon fiber tube, an electric heating tube, or an electric heating wire, and is not limited thereto. Once the heating element 22 is powered on, it can bake the food inside the baking chamber 21, resulting in high baking efficiency.

[0038] The cup lid assembly 60 also includes a reflector 41 and a glass plate 42 assembled with the reflector 41. The heating element 22 is disposed between the reflector 41 and the glass plate 42, with the reflective surface of the reflector 41 facing the baking chamber 21, so that the reflector 41 reflects the heat generated by the heating element 22 to the baking chamber 21. In this way, the carbon fiber heating tube has high heating efficiency, and the reflector 41 reflects the infrared rays generated by the carbon fiber heating tube towards the baking chamber 21, which helps to further improve heating efficiency, thereby making the baking efficiency even higher.

[0039] The cup lid 10 includes a lid body 11 and an upper cover 12 assembled to the lid body 11. The baking chamber 21 is assembled to the lid body 11, and the reflector 41, the glass plate 42, and the heating element 22 are assembled to the upper cover 12. This makes the cup lid assembly 60 easy to assemble. In the illustrated embodiment, the reflector 41, the glass plate 42, and the heating element 22 are all annular, which makes the heating element 22 bake the food in the baking chamber 21 more evenly. The cup lid 10 also includes a cup sealing ring 19 disposed on the lid body 11, and the cup sealing ring 19 abuts against the stirring cup 51 to form a seal.

[0040] Preferably, the baking chamber 21 is detachably assembled to the cup lid 10, allowing the baking chamber 21 to be disassembled for cleaning. In the illustrated embodiment, the baking chamber 21 is assembled to the lid body 11 via a snap-fit ​​structure. Specifically, the lid body 11 includes a snap-fit ​​119 and a protrusion 118 provided on the snap-fit ​​119. The top of the baking chamber 21 is provided with a flange 219, which has a clearance portion 2191 and a positioning notch 2192. During assembly, the baking chamber 21 is first inserted into the lid body 11, with the snap-fit ​​119 corresponding to the clearance portion 2191. Then, the baking chamber 21 is rotated relative to the lid body 11, causing the protrusion 118 to engage with the positioning notch 2192, thereby fixing the baking chamber 21 inside the lid body 11. In other embodiments, the baking chamber 21 can also be assembled to the lid body 11 via other structures.

[0041] The cup lid 10 also includes a fixing cylinder 13, which cooperates with the upper cover 12 to fix the reflector 41 and the glass plate 42. This allows for convenient and reliable fixing of the reflector 41 and the glass plate 42. In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing cylinder 13 is threadedly locked to the upper cover 12 on the inner sides of both the reflector 41 and the glass plate 42. Furthermore, the inner sides of the reflector 41 and the glass plate 42 are covered with an inner sealing ring 43, and the outer sides are covered with an outer sealing ring 44, thereby achieving a sealing and heat insulation function.

[0042] The cup lid 10 also includes a vent cover 14 disposed on the upper cover 12, and the fixed cylinder 13 is provided with a vent channel 131 corresponding to the vent cover 14. In this way, venting is achieved.

[0043] Preferably, the radial dimension of the discharge port 211 is between 30 mm and 50 mm. In this way, both large and small particles of food in the baking chamber 21 can fall into the mixing cup 51 through the discharge port 211.

[0044] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the discharge port 211 can be 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, or any value between any two adjacent values ​​mentioned above. The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
