[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] This embodiment is referred to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a baby food processor that is easy to store is disclosed. The baby food processor includes a head 1, a processing cup 2, a body 3, and a storage drawer 4. The head 1 is positioned above the processing cup 2 and is used to drive the stirring blade inside the processing cup 2 to process ingredients. The processing cup 2 is detachably mounted on the body 3 for easy cleaning and replacement. The body 3 includes a support area 11 and an operation module area 12. The support area 11 and the operation module area 12 are arranged side-by-side in a horizontal direction, forming a functional partition structure. The processing cup 2 is placed on the support area 11. The operation module area 12 has an inclined surface 121 that is tilted relative to the horizontal reference plane of the body. A control panel 122 is provided on the inclined surface 121, allowing users to select programs, control heating, and adjust operation. The operating angle is more ergonomic, improving ease of use. A storage slot 13 is provided below the inclined surface 121 of the body 3, and the storage slot 13 is formed within the internal space of the body 3. The slot 131 of the storage slot 13 is located on the side of the body 3 and is arranged away from the processing cup 2, making the structural layout more compact and avoiding interference with the processing area. The storage drawer 4 is installed in the storage slot 13 and forms a sliding fit with the storage slot 13. The storage drawer 4 can be pulled out relative to the body 3 to store the mixing blade of the baby food maker, thereby making full use of the internal space of the body, preventing parts from being scattered or lost, and improving overall tidiness and space utilization. Through the above structural design, the baby food maker of this embodiment achieves an integrated arrangement of the processing area and the storage area, so that the body maintains a compact appearance while having accessory storage function, thereby improving ease of use and kitchen space utilization.

[0024] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the storage drawer 4 has a knife holder 41 inside. The knife holder 41 is used to hold the mixing blade, ensuring its stable positioning and preventing wobbling during storage. The knife holder 41 is located on the bottom wall of the storage drawer 4, extending along the width of the drawer, allowing users to easily retrieve and place the mixing blade after pulling out the drawer. The knife holder 41 can be integrally molded with the storage drawer 4, forming a one-piece structure with good stability and strength; alternatively, it can be detachable, for example, fixed to the bottom of the drawer by clips, screws, or sliding slots, allowing the knife holder 41 to be disassembled or cleaned as needed. Optionally, the knife holder 41 can be made of plastic, silicone, or stainless steel to balance lightweight and corrosion resistance; the upper surface of the knife holder 41 can be provided with anti-slip ribs or a soft covering layer to prevent the mixing blade from sliding or colliding during movement, thereby improving storage safety and structural durability.

[0025] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 3 As shown, the blade holder 41 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 411. The limiting grooves 411 are arranged adjacent to each other on the upper surface of the blade holder 41, used to embed the blade shaft or the bottom of the blade of the mixing blade, thereby achieving stable positioning of the mixing blade. Each limiting groove 411 has a downwardly concave arc structure, allowing the mixing blade to naturally embed into the groove and remain fixed, preventing slippage or collision during storage or removal. The depth of the limiting groove 411 can be designed as shallow or deep concave depending on the thickness of the mixing blade, to balance storage stability and ease of access. Reinforcing ribs or partitions can be provided between adjacent limiting grooves 411 to separate the placement positions of different blades and prevent scratches caused by contact between blades. Optionally, a flexible pad or anti-slip coating can be provided on the inner surface of the limiting groove 411 to enhance the friction between the mixing blade and the groove wall, preventing displacement due to vibration. The limiting groove 411 can also adopt a replaceable insert structure, which is embedded in the blade holder 41 by snap-fit ​​installation, making it easy to clean or replace later. Through this structure, the setting of multiple limiting grooves 411 realizes the independent storage and stable positioning of the mixing blade, avoiding interference between the blades, thereby improving the safety and neatness of the storage of baby food maker accessories.

[0026] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 3As shown, the limiting grooves 411 on the blade holder 41 differ in shape design. The width and radius of curvature of the different limiting grooves 411 vary to match different models of stirring blades, ensuring stable placement of blades with different structures or specifications. By differentiating the groove dimensions, multiple stirring blades can be accommodated on the same blade holder 41, improving the versatility and adaptability of the storage system. Optionally, the width of the limiting grooves 411 can be arranged in stages according to the diameter of the stirring blade base, for example, decreasing or increasing from left to right, so that users can distinguish and place them according to the blade model. The change in radius of curvature ensures a tight fit between the limiting groove 411 and the curved surface of the blade bottom, increasing contact stability and preventing the blade from shaking or falling off. The shape of the limiting groove 411 can be a circular arc, elliptical arc, or a composite curve structure; its depth can also be differentiated according to the weight and size of the blade. To further improve compatibility, markings or numbers can be set between the limiting grooves 411 to distinguish the placement positions of different stirring blades, facilitating quick access for users. Through this structural design, the limiting groove 411 can be compatible with various models of mixing blades, enabling unified storage and categorized management, preventing misplacement or slippage of blades, thereby improving the storage efficiency of the baby food maker's accessories and the user experience. The number of limiting grooves 411 can be specifically set to two, three, four, etc., as needed; no specific limit is made here.

[0027] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the storage drawer 4 is provided with a handle 42. The handle 42 is an inwardly recessed structure, formed in the middle of the front end of the storage drawer 4, for the user to grasp the front end of the drawer to pull it out or push it back. By setting the recessed structure, the user can naturally insert their fingers into the groove when using it, achieving a smooth opening and closing operation. The depth and width of the recess of the handle 42 can be designed according to the user's hand grip habits, and the edge of the groove can be rounded to avoid scratching the hand and improve the tactile comfort. After the front end of the drawer is recessed, its outer surface is flush with the side of the body 3, so that the overall appearance of the machine is flat and integrated, avoiding the drawer protruding and affecting the overall aesthetics or taking up extra space. Optionally, the handle 42 can be designed in different shapes, such as a strip groove, an oval recess, or a hidden recessed area; its surface can be added with anti-slip texture or covered with a flexible coating to enhance grip friction. The handle 42 can also be integrally injection molded with the drawer panel, or installed using methods such as snap-fitting, bonding, or screw fixing as independent components. Through the above structural design, the handle 42 achieves convenient pull-out operation while ensuring a flat appearance, which not only improves user comfort but also enhances the overall aesthetics and space utilization efficiency of the baby food maker.

[0028] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the rear end 43 of the storage drawer 4 is fitted against the outer wall of the processing cup 2. The rear end 43 is located in the rear end region of the storage drawer 4, and its outline is designed according to the shape of the outer wall of the processing cup 2, allowing them to fit together after assembly. This fitted arrangement allows the storage drawer 4 to fully utilize the internal space of the machine body 3 when inserted, while maintaining a reasonable distance between the processing cup 2 and the rear end of the drawer to avoid interference. To achieve a stable fit, the rear end 43 forms a clearance structure 431. The clearance structure 431 extends along the outer wall outline of the processing cup 2 and can be an arc-shaped concave surface, a bevel, or a partially chamfered shape to match the outer surface of the processing cup 2. Optionally, the clearance structure 431 can be formed by injection molding, hot pressing, or multi-segment splicing, and its surface can be provided with a buffer layer or flexible covering layer to absorb assembly tolerances and vibration impacts, preventing abnormal noises or wear during drawer use. The rear end 43 can also adopt a detachable modular design to allow for shape replacement or adjustment according to different models of processing cups 2, thus achieving compatibility expansion. Through the above structural design, the rear end 43 of the storage drawer 4 forms an avoidance structure 431 while fitting snugly with the processing cup 2, which not only avoids insertion interference problems, but also optimizes the internal space layout of the body 3, making the baby food maker more compact and harmonious in appearance, and improving assembly stability and ease of use.

[0029] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 4As shown, the baby food maker also includes a cover 5. The cover 5 is fitted with the storage slot 13 and arranged along the side of the body 3, forming a covered space to accommodate the storage drawer 4. The cover 5 is fitted onto the outside of the storage drawer 4 to protect it. The outer surface of the cover 5 matches the outer surface of the storage drawer 4, allowing for a tight fit after assembly. The cover 5 can be installed using a snap-fit ​​method, where the inner wall of the cover 5 has guide strips and the outer wall of the storage drawer 4 has corresponding grooves, allowing for assembly through guide sliding; alternatively, it can be fixed by direct fitting or screw fastening. This structure not only ensures assembly stability but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance. Optionally, the cover 5 and the storage drawer 4 can be integrally injection molded into a single structure to reduce assembly steps and improve overall strength; alternatively, a separate design can be used, allowing the cover 5 to function as an independent shell, facilitating replacement and customization according to different body colors or surface finishes. The cover 5 can be made of polycarbonate, sheet metal, or composite materials. The outer surface can be sprayed, painted, or brushed to enhance the surface texture and wear resistance. Through the cover 5's nesting structure, the storage drawer 4 can be completely covered when closed, preventing dust from entering the heat dissipation vents of the body 3 from entering the storage drawer 4 and contaminating the stirring blade. It also prevents the stirring blade from loosening and detaching from the storage drawer 4 when moving the body 3, thus protecting the internal electronic components or wires. This achieves dustproof and impact-proof protection, while also creating a continuous and smooth appearance transition on the sides of the body 3, improving the overall visual integrity and lifespan of the baby food maker.

[0030] In one implementation, see [reference] Figure 4As shown, a limiting part 51 is formed at the front end of the cover 5. The limiting part 51 is used to limit the insertion stroke of the storage drawer 4, preventing the storage drawer 4 from being over-inserted when pushed into the body 3, which could lead to structural interference or positional displacement. The limiting part 51 is located in the front edge area of ​​the cover 5 and is configured to cooperate with the slot 131 of the storage groove 13. When the storage drawer 4 is inserted to the predetermined position, it abuts against the front end of the storage drawer 4, thereby achieving limiting control of the insertion depth and position stop. The limiting part 51 can be a flange structure arranged in a ring along the inner edge of the front end of the cover 5, or it can be a partially arranged boss, shoulder, or inner step. By providing a physical stop structure between the cover 5 and the storage drawer 4, the storage drawer 4 can obtain a clear ending position during the insertion process, avoiding deformation or jamming of the outer shell due to over-pushing. Optionally, the limiting part 51 can be made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, to absorb the impact force during the pushing and pulling process, prevent structural wear, and reduce noise; it can also be equipped with a buffer spring or elastic latch to allow the storage drawer 4 to form a slight elastic positioning when fully closed. The limiting part 51 can also be integrally formed with the cover 5, or installed as an independent component at the front end of the cover 5 by means of buckles, screws, or adhesive, flexibly selected according to different product design requirements. Through the above structural design, the limiting part 51 ensures that the insertion depth of the storage drawer 4 is controlled while preventing over-pushing interference during operation, further improving the stability and structural durability of the baby food maker.

[0031] In some other embodiments, a guide structure may be provided between the body 3 and the storage drawer 4 to guide the storage drawer 4 to be smoothly inserted and removed along a preset direction. The guide structure may include a guide groove provided on the inner wall of the storage slot 13 and a guide protrusion provided on the outer wall of the storage drawer 4. The guide groove and the guide protrusion interlock with each other, so that the drawer 4 moves precisely along the sliding direction of the body 3 during the pushing or pulling process, avoiding the drawer tilting or shaking.

[0032] In other embodiments, the guide structure may also take the form of roller rails, metal sliders, or plastic slides to reduce frictional resistance and improve the smoothness of pulling out. This structure not only improves the assembly accuracy and operating feel of the storage drawer 4, but also prevents the drawer from shifting or jamming due to wear during long-term use, further improving the service life and structural stability of the baby food maker.

[0033] In summary, the baby food maker provided by this utility model, which is easy to store, has the following technical effects: (1) The design of the internal storage space formed by the combination of the storage slot 13 and the pull-out storage drawer 4 makes full use of the side structure of the body 3, realizes the centralized storage of accessories such as the mixing blade, avoids the accessories from being scattered or lost, and improves the cleanliness and safety of the kitchen space.

[0034] (2) The structure design of the machine body 3 with a support area 11 and an operation module area 12 and an inclined surface 121 for arranging the control panel 122 makes the processing area and the operation area clearly separated. The operation surface is inclined towards the user, which improves the convenience and visibility of human-computer interaction and enhances the overall compactness and space utilization of the food supplement machine.

[0035] (3) By setting a knife holder 41 and at least two limiting grooves 411 in the storage drawer 4, the stirring knife can be accurately positioned and kept stable in the storage state, and will not shake or collide during the sliding of the drawer, thereby preventing damage to the blade and improving the reliability and safety of the storage system.

[0036] (4) By setting a cover 5 and a front limiting part 51 on the outside of the storage drawer 4, the cover 5 forms an independent covering layer between the drawer 4 and the body 3, thereby keeping the storage area clean, simplifying the mold structure and assembly precision requirements of the body 3, reducing manufacturing costs, improving assembly convenience and overall consistency; at the same time, the limiting part 51 can precisely limit the insertion stroke of the storage drawer 4 to prevent users from pushing too hard, causing structural interference or positional misalignment.

[0037] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
