Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an important component of a food processor, and in particular to the bottom cover of a multi-function food processor. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional multi-function food processors such as integrated soy milk makers and juicers have heat dissipation holes on the bottom cover. When the bottom needs to be cleaned, water often splashes out from the heat dissipation holes on the bottom or seeps into the inside of the device during cleaning, causing a short circuit inside the device and resulting in problems such as the device burning out when it is re-powered. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT The objective of the present invention is to provide a bottom cover for a multi-function food processor that can solve at least one of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bottom cover for a multi-functional food processor, comprising a cover body, the cover body being provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes, the width of the inner ends of the heat dissipation holes being larger than the width of the outer ends, the inner ends of the heat dissipation holes being flush with the inner end surface of the cover body, the outer ends of the heat dissipation holes being flush with the outer end surface of the cover body, and the width of the outer ends of the heat dissipation holes being 0.3 to 0.6 mm.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by making the width of the inner end of the heat dissipation hole larger than that of the outer end, the heat inside the food processor can be normally discharged through the heat dissipation hole during use of the cover body, and when the food processor is washed, the width of the outer end of the heat dissipation hole is 0.3-0.6 mm, so that the water outside forms a water film at the outer end of the heat dissipation hole due to the surface tension of the water, which has the effect of blocking the heat dissipation hole and achieves a relatively good waterproof effect, thereby reducing the amount of water flowing into the inside of the device through the heat dissipation hole during washing, reducing the failure rate of the inside of the device due to water ingress, and helping to extend the service life of the food processor.

[0006] In some embodiments, the draft angle of the heat dissipation hole is 8°-10°. In this way, the draft angle ensures that the heat dissipation hole is small, and the mold release during production can be smooth, ensuring normal production and demolding of the cover body.

[0007] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation holes are multiple and each has an elongated shape, thus meeting the heat dissipation requirements.

[0008] In some embodiments, the plurality of heat dissipation holes are formed in two circles, the first circle heat dissipation holes and the second circle heat dissipation holes, the first circle heat dissipation holes are closer to the center of the cover body, and the second circle heat dissipation holes are closer to the edge of the cover body. In this way, the heat dissipation holes can be distributed reasonably to ensure that the heat in the food processor can be dissipated smoothly, and the timely heat dissipation of the equipment is convenient.

[0009] In some embodiments, the outer end surface of the cover body is provided with a number of grooves, the grooves are located on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation hole, and a mounting hole is provided at the bottom of each groove. In this way, the grooves are provided to facilitate drilling the mounting holes, and the external screws can be easily placed in the grooves, which helps to improve the integrity of the entire cover body during assembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, the inner end surface of the cover body is provided with a number of reinforcing ribs, which are located on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation hole, so that the reinforcing ribs can ensure the strength of the cover body and meet the corresponding load-bearing requirements.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib and the cover body are integrally injection molded, which is convenient for processing and molding the reinforcing rib and the cover body. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 5] 2 is a schematic diagram of the rear structure of the multi-functional food processor of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the drawings.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the bottom cover of the multifunctional food processor comprises a cover body 1, which is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 2, and the width of the inner ends of the heat dissipation holes 2 is greater than the width of the outer ends thereof, so that the heat dissipation holes 2 have a certain taper. During actual use, the inner ends of the heat dissipation holes 2 are ends close to the internal equipment of the food processor, and since the width of the said ends of the heat dissipation holes 2 is greater, it is convenient for the heat generated by the internal equipment to be quickly discharged from the heat dissipation holes 2 when the food processor is operating, and the outer ends of the heat dissipation holes 2 are ends away from the internal equipment.

[0015] The inner end of the heat dissipation hole 2 is flush with the inner end surface 11 of the cover body 1, and the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 is flush with the outer end surface 12 of the cover body 1, and the width of the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 is 0.3 to 0.6 mm, preferably 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm. When the cover body 1 needs to be washed, the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 is located below its inner end. When the cover body 1 needs to be washed, the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 has a width of 0.3 to 0.6 mm. Therefore, the surface tension of the water can form a good water film at the heat dissipation hole 2, which plays a role in blocking the heat dissipation hole 2. After the water film is formed, it can play a very good waterproofing role, and the water flowing into the inside of the food processor through the heat dissipation hole 2 is greatly reduced, and the failure rate of the inside of the equipment due to water ingress is reduced.

[0016] The draft angle of the heat dissipation hole 2 is 8°~10°. During actual use, the draft angle can be increased or decreased according to the actual thickness of the cover body 1, and the width of the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 can be 0.3~0.6mm, which can form a water film on the outer end of the heat dissipation hole 2 during washing with water, which is helpful in achieving a waterproof effect. In general, the draft angle can be 8°, 9° or 10°, which can meet the normal demolding of the heat dissipation hole 2 during injection molding, and is convenient for production and processing.

[0017] The heat dissipation holes 2 are multiple and each has an elongated shape, so as to meet the requirement of quickly dissipating heat when the internal components of the food processor are operating.

[0018] The plurality of heat dissipation holes 2 are formed in two circles, the first circle of heat dissipation holes 3 and the second circle of heat dissipation holes 4, with the first circle of heat dissipation holes 3 being closer to the center of the cover body 1 and the second circle of heat dissipation holes 4 being closer to the edge of the cover body 1. Therefore, this distribution method can increase the distribution area of ​​the heat dissipation holes 2 on the cover body 1 and meet the heat dissipation requirements.

[0019] A number of grooves 13 are provided on the outer end surface of the cover body 1, the grooves 13 are located on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation hole 2, and a mounting hole 14 is provided at the bottom of each groove 13. The grooves 13 are uniformly distributed on the cover body 1, which can facilitate the mounting holes 14 on the cover body 1 to be fitted with the corresponding structure of the food processor through the screws. Due to the provision of the grooves 13, when the screws are fitted with the corresponding structure on the outside through the mounting holes 14, the ends of the screws can be hidden within the grooves 13, which can prevent the ends of the screws from being exposed to the outside and wearing out, and is helpful in improving the stability of the fitting between the screws and the corresponding structure.

[0020] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 15 are provided on the inner end surface of the cover body 1, and the reinforcing ribs 15 are located on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation hole 2. The reinforcing ribs 15 and the cover body 1 are integrally injection molded. The reinforcing ribs 15 can increase the strength of the entire cover body 1, which helps to extend the service life of the entire cover body 1.

[0021] It should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
