Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a food processor, and more specifically, to a food processor in which noise generated during food processing is reduced. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors come in various types, such as blenders, juicers, and dough mixers. Noise generated during the operation of food processors can reduce the user's concentration required for cooking or cause stress and discomfort. For example, among food processors, blenders generally consist of processing components, such as blades or screws, and a motor, which drives the processing components. Ingredients are processed by the components within the container. Significant noise is generated, particularly when ingredients are ground at high speeds with high power. Noise is produced due to the operation of the motor, collisions between the ingredients and the processing components, and collisions between the ingredients and the inner walls of the container.

[0003] Various technologies are being applied to reduce noise generated during the operation of food processing equipment. For example, components made of special materials that absorb noise and vibration, noise-reducing motors, and noise-blocking covers that block vibration and noise are being used.

[0004] Noise can occur from minute gaps between parts during the operation of a food processor. Noise may be generated as parts collide with each other in the gaps. Additionally, this noise can leak out through the gaps between the parts.

[0005] Therefore, in order to reduce the noise of a food processor, technology is required to prevent the occurrence of gaps between the parts constituting the food processor, or to prevent noise from leaking out through the gaps between the parts. The problem to be solved

Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0022] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to drawings for explaining a food processing machine (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a container is seated in a food processing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the open state of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the combined state of the main body and the main body cover of FIG. 2. In the drawings, the left side of the drawing is set as the front, the right side as the rear, the top side as the upward direction, and the bottom side as the downward direction for description.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention is a food processor (100) that reduces noise generated during food processing, comprising a main body (1000) and an enclosure (2000). Additionally, the present invention may further include a main body cover (3000).

[0025] The main body (1000) may be formed in various shapes such as a tetrahedron or a cuboid, but for convenience of explanation, it is illustrated and described in the drawing as a cuboid shape including a front, rear, two sides, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The main body (1000) has a motor (not shown in the drawing) and a control unit (not shown in the drawing) for controlling the motor (not shown in the drawing) installed inside, and performs food processing operations. The upper part of the main body (1000) may include a container seating surface (1100), a connecting surface (1300), and an enclosure placement surface (1500).

[0026] FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the main body and the main body cover of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 is a plan view of the main body of FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of area A of FIG. 6, FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of area B of FIG. 6, and FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the state in which an anti-slip portion is formed on the container seating surface of the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, the container seating surface (1100) is a portion on which a container (5000) for holding food ingredients is seated. The container (5000) may be seated in the center of the container seating surface (1100). The container seating surface (1100) may be covered by the upper cover wall (3100) of the main body cover (3000) to be described later.

[0028] The connecting surface (1300) extends downward from the edge of the container seating surface (1100) and is the part where the first connecting portion (1310) is formed. The connecting surface (1300) is the part that connects the container seating surface (1100) and the enclosure placement surface (1500). The first connecting portion (1310) formed on the connecting surface (1300) is the part that is connected to the second connecting portion (2135) of the enclosure (2000) to be described later. The first connecting portion (1310) can be formed in the shape of a protrusion or a groove, and it is preferable to form it in the shape of a protrusion to secure the internal space of the main body (1000). The first connecting portion (1310) can be formed in multiple numbers to ensure a strong connection with the enclosure (2000). In the case where the present invention further includes a main body cover (3000), the first coupling part (1310) may be coupled with the third coupling part (3210) of the cover main body (1000) to be described later, and may be formed in multiple numbers for a strong coupling with the main body cover (3000).

[0029] The enclosure placement surface (1500) forms the upper edge surface of the main body (1000) and is on which the enclosure (2000) is placed, and a support rib (1560) that supports the enclosure (2000) may be formed protrudingly. The enclosure placement surface (1500) may extend from the connecting surface (1300) and form a step with the container seating surface (1100). The enclosure placement surface (1500) may be placed at a lower position than the container seating surface (1100).

[0030] A support rib (1560) that supports the enclosure (2000) is formed protrudingly on the enclosure placement surface (1500). As the support rib (1560) contacts the lower surface of the enclosure (2000) and supports the enclosure (2000), it can firmly secure the connection between the first coupling part (1310) of the main body (1000) and the second coupling part (2135) of the enclosure (2000). The support rib (1560) may be formed in multiple numbers spaced apart from each other. At least one support rib (1560) may be supported on each fixed side wall part (2130) of the fixed enclosure (2100) to be described later. At least one support rib (1560) supports the individual fixed side wall portion (2130), thereby making the connection between the first connecting portion (1310) and the second connecting portion (2135) more secure. The support rib (1560) may also support the outer surface of the cover side wall portion (3200) of the main body cover (3000) to be described later. A description of the support rib (1560) supporting the outer surface of the cover side wall portion (3200) will be provided later.

[0031] The enclosure placement surface (1500) may include a rear placement surface (1510) and a front placement surface (1540). The rear placement surface (1510) is the portion where the fixed side wall portion (2130) of the fixed enclosure (2100), which will be described later, is placed, and the front placement surface (1540) is the portion where the rotating enclosure (2300), which will be described later, is seated. That is, the enclosure placement surface (1500) can be divided into a rear placement surface (1510) and a front placement surface (1540). The rear placement surface (1510) and the front placement surface (1540) can be distinguished by whether the fixed enclosure (2100) is placed or whether the rotating enclosure (2300) is seated. The rear placement surface (1510) is located on the rear side of the main body (1000), and the front placement surface (1540) is located on the front side of the main body (1000). A path for the container (5000) to enter and exit may be formed on the front placement surface (1540). A support rib (1560) may be formed on the rear placement surface (1510) where the fixed enclosure (2100) is placed, and a support rib (1560) may not be formed on the front placement surface (1540) where the rotating enclosure (2300) is seated. The support rib (1560) strengthens the connection between the first coupling part (1310) and the second coupling part (2135), and the support rib (1560) may be formed on the rear placement surface (1510) where the fixed enclosure (2100) with the second coupling part (2135) is placed.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 8, the rear placement surface (1510) may include an outer placement surface (1511) and an inner placement surface (1512). The outer placement surface (1511) is a portion where a support rib (1560) is formed and where the fixed side wall portion (2130) of the fixed enclosure (2100), which will be described later, is placed. The inner placement surface (1512) is a portion where a support rib (1560) is not formed and where the cover side wall portion (3200) of the main body cover (3000), which will be described later, is placed. The inner placement surface (1512) may be located between the inner edge of the outer placement surface (1511) and the connecting surface (1300). Among the support ribs (1560), the support rib (1560) that supports the outer surface of the cover side wall portion (3200) to be described later can be formed from one side of the outer placement surface (1511) to the boundary between the outer placement surface (1511) and the inner placement surface (1512).

[0033] Referring to FIG. 9, the main body (1000) may also have an uneven anti-slip portion (1110) formed on the container seating surface (1100). The anti-slip portion (1110) can prevent relative movement between the container seating surface (1100) and the upper cover wall portion (3100) of the cover main body (1000) described later. The uneven shape of the anti-slip portion (1110) may be formed in a pattern with various shapes of protrusions and grooves to prevent slipping.

[0034] And the main body (1000) may have a discharge groove (1700) formed through the container seating surface (1100), the connecting surface (1300), and the enclosure placement surface (1500). The discharge groove (1700) can discharge foreign substances that have entered the container seating surface (1100). The foreign substances may be substances containing moisture, such as moisture leaked from the container (5000) during food processing, juice of food ingredients, or fragments of food ingredients. If such foreign substances are not discharged to the outside while sitting on the container seating surface (1100), they may enter the main body (1000) and cause malfunctions in the motor, control unit, etc. Additionally, if foreign substances containing moisture enter the anti-slip part (1110), the adhesive force of the moisture contained in the foreign substances may make it difficult to separate the cover main body (1000) for replacement. The discharge groove (1700) allows foreign substances to be discharged to the outside, thereby enabling easy separation of the cover body (1000).

[0035] Meanwhile, at least one of the first coupling part (1310) and the discharge groove (1700) may be formed to be positioned between the support ribs (1560). When the first coupling part (1310) is positioned between the support ribs (1560), the coupling between the first coupling part (1310) and the second coupling part (2135) may be made more secure, and when the main body cover (3000) is included, the coupling between the first coupling part (1310) and the third coupling part (3210), and the coupling between the second coupling part (2135) and the third coupling part (3210) may be made more secure. When the discharge groove (1700) is positioned between the support ribs (1560), a fine gap is formed between the main body cover (3000) and the main body (1000) by the support of the support ribs (1560), so foreign matter can be easily discharged to the outside.

[0036] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view along the cutting line XX of FIG. 1, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view along the cutting line XI-XI of FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view along the cutting line XX of FIG. 1, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view along the cutting line XI-XI of FIG. 1, FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of area S1 of FIG. 10, FIG. 13 is an enlarged view of area S2 of FIG. 11, FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing the fixed enclosure of FIG. 3, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing the rotating enclosure of FIG. 3.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 15, the enclosure (2000) surrounds the container (5000) and blocks the external leakage of noise generated during food processing, thereby isolating the container (5000) from the outside or exposing it to the outside. The enclosure (2000) is positioned on the enclosure placement surface (1500) and has a second coupling part (2135) formed thereon that is coupled to the first coupling part (1310) of the main body (1000). The enclosure (2000) may include a fixed enclosure (2100) and a rotating enclosure (2300). The fixed enclosure (2100) on which the second coupling part (2135) is formed may be positioned on the outer placement surface (1511) of the aforementioned rear placement surface (1510) and supported by a support rib (1560). That is, the lower surface of the fixed enclosure (2100) can be supported by a support rib (1560) formed on the outer positioning surface (1511). The fixed enclosure (2100) may include a plurality of fixed side wall sections (2130). For example, if the main body (1000) includes a front, a rear, and two sides, the fixed side wall sections (2130) of the fixed enclosure (2100) may include a rear fixed side wall section (2131), a first fixed side wall section (2132), and a second fixed side wall section (2133). The rear fixed side wall portion (2131) is positioned in the central region of the rear placement surface (1510) and faces the rear of the container (5000), and the first fixed side wall portion (2132) and the second fixed side wall portion (2133) are each positioned in the remaining region of the rear placement surface (1510) and face the side of the container (5000). Each of the rear fixed side wall portion (2131), the first fixed side wall portion (2132), and the second fixed side wall portion (2133) can be supported by at least one support rib (1560) as described above.

[0038] The rotating enclosure (2300) may be installed rotatably relative to the fixed enclosure (2100) so that the container (5000) is isolated from or exposed to the outside. The rotating enclosure (2300) may be seated on the front placement surface (1540) as described above. In the case of a closed state where the container (5000) is isolated from the outside, the rotating enclosure (2300) may be seated on the front placement surface (1540) so that the container (5000) becomes a closed state where it is isolated from the outside. Additionally, the rotating enclosure (2300) may be rotated apart from the fixed enclosure (2100) so that the container (5000) becomes an open state where it is exposed to the outside. The rotating enclosure (2300) may include a rotating wall portion (2310) that surrounds the container (5000). The rotating wall portion (2310) of the rotating enclosure (2300) is a portion that surrounds the container (5000) together with the fixed side wall portion (2130) of the aforementioned fixed enclosure (2100). The rotating wall portion (2310) may include a front rotating side wall portion (2311), a first rotating side wall portion (2312), a second rotating side wall portion (2313), and a rotating upper wall portion (2314). The front rotating side wall portion (2311) faces the aforementioned rear fixed side wall portion (2131) and may be positioned on the front side of the main body (1000). The first rotating side wall portion (2312) is a portion positioned on one side of the main body (1000) spaced apart from the aforementioned first fixed side wall portion (2132). The second pivoting side wall is a part positioned on the other side of the main body (1000), spaced apart from the aforementioned second fixed side wall (2133). The pivoting upper wall (2314) is a part connecting the upper end of the first pivoting side wall (2312) and the upper end of the second pivoting side wall. The front pivoting side wall (2311), the first pivoting side wall (2312), the second pivoting side wall (2313), and the pivoting upper wall (2314) can be formed integrally and can form a housing shape with one side open so as to surround and accommodate the container (5000).The first rotating side wall (2312) and the first fixed side wall (2132), and the second rotating side wall (2313) and the second fixed side wall (2133) are arranged adjacently to each other to form the side walls of the food processor (100), and the front rotating side wall (2311) and the rear fixed side wall (2131) are arranged individually facing each other to form the front wall and the rear wall of the food processor (100).

[0039] FIG. 16 is a perspective view illustrating the soundproofing member of FIG. 15.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 16, the rotating enclosure (2300) may include a soundproofing member (2500). The soundproofing member (2500) is positioned between the portion where the fixed enclosure (2100) and the rotating enclosure (2300) overlap in a closed state, and can seal the gap between the fixed enclosure (2100) and the rotating enclosure (2300). It is preferable that the soundproofing member (2500) be made of an elastic material so that it can be elastically deformed and sealed. The soundproofing member (2500) rotates together with the rotating enclosure (2300) and may include a first side soundproofing wall section (2510), a second side soundproofing wall section (2520), and an upper soundproofing wall section (2530). Additionally, the soundproofing member (2500) may further include a lower soundproofing wall section (2540). The first side soundproof wall section (2510), the second side soundproof wall section (2520), the upper soundproof wall section (2530), and the lower soundproof wall section (2540) can be formed as a single unit.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 10 and FIGS. 11, the first side sound barrier (2510) may be positioned between the first fixed side barrier (2132) and the first rotating side barrier (2312) to be described later, and the second side sound barrier (2520) may be positioned between the second fixed side barrier (2133) and the second rotating side barrier (2313) to be described later, and the upper sound barrier (2530) may be positioned between the rear fixed side barrier (2131) and the front rotating side barrier (2311) and may connect the upper end of the first side sound barrier (2510) and the upper end of the second side sound barrier (2520). That is, the first side soundproof wall section (2510) seals the gap between the first fixed side wall section (2132) and the second rotating side wall section (2313), the second side soundproof wall section (2520) seals the gap between the second fixed side wall section (2133) and the second rotating side wall section (2313), and the upper soundproof wall section (2530) can seal the gap between the rear fixed side wall section (2131) and the front rotating side wall section (2311).

[0042] The first side soundproof wall section (2510) may include a first side soundproof wall body (2511) and a first sealing leaf (2512). The first side soundproof wall body (2511) may be formed in a plate shape so as to be positioned between the first fixed side wall section (2132) and the first rotating side wall section (2312). The outer surface of the first soundproof wall body (1000) may be combined with the inner surface of the first rotating side wall section (2312). The first sealing leaf (2512) may be formed to protrude from the first side soundproof wall body (2511) toward the first fixed side wall section (2132) so as to be in contact with the first fixed side wall section (2132) in a closed state. That is, the first sealing leaf (2512) may be formed in the form of a protrusion on the inner surface of the first side soundproof wall body (2511). In order to have a minimum length in a closed state and to seal the gap between the first fixed side wall part (2132) and the first rotating side wall part (2312), it is preferable that the first seal rib (2512) be formed adjacent to the boundary line of the overlapping portion between the first side sound wall body (2511) and the first fixed side wall part (2132).

[0043] The second side sound wall section (2520) may include a second side sound wall body (2521) and a second sealing leaf (2522). The second side sound wall section (2520) differs from the first side sound wall section (2510) only in the position where it is placed, and its function and structure are identical. Therefore, the description of the first side sound wall body (2511) and the first sealing leaf (2512) of the first side sound wall section (2510) can be applied equally to the second side sound wall body (2521) and the second sealing leaf (2522) of the second side sound wall section (2520).

[0044] The upper soundproof wall section (2530) may include an upper soundproof wall body (2531) and a third sealing leaf (2532). The upper soundproof wall body (2531) may be formed in a plate shape so as to be positioned between the rear fixed side wall section (2131) and the front rotating side wall section (2311). The outer surface of the upper soundproof wall body (2531) may be combined with the inner surface of the rotating upper wall section (2314). The third sealing leaf (2532) may be formed to protrude from the upper soundproof wall body (2531) toward the rear fixed side wall section (2131) so as to be in contact with the rear fixed side wall section (2131) in a closed state. That is, the third sealing leaf (2532) may be formed in the form of a protrusion on the inner surface of the upper soundproof wall body (1000).

[0045] Referring to FIG. 16, when the rotating enclosure (2300) is in an open state, a cushioning rib (2533) that prevents collision between the rear fixed side wall (2131) and the rotating upper wall (2314) may be formed protrudingly on the upper soundproof wall (2530). Specifically, the cushioning rib (2533) may be formed protrudingly on the surface of the upper soundproof wall facing the outer surface of the rear fixed side wall (2131) when in an open state. It is preferable that the cushioning rib (2533) be formed of an elastic material to absorb shock. When the rotating enclosure (2300) rotates to an open state, the cushioning rib (2533) comes into contact with the rear fixed side wall (2131) and absorbs the shock, thereby preventing damage caused by a direct collision between the rear fixed side wall (2131) and the rotating upper wall (2314).

[0046] Meanwhile, the soundproofing member (2500) may further include a lower soundproof wall section (2540). The lower soundproof wall section (2540) connects the first side soundproof wall section (2510) and the second side soundproof wall section (2520) and can be placed on the front placement surface (1540) in a closed state. Unlike the first side soundproof wall section (2510), the second side soundproof wall section (2520), and the upper soundproof wall section (2530), the lower soundproof wall section (2540) is not placed in the part where the fixed enclosure (2100) and the rotating enclosure (2300) overlap, but can be placed in the part where the rotating enclosure (2300) is seated alone. That is, the lower soundproof wall section (2540) can be seated on the front placement surface (1540) of the enclosure placement surface (1500) together with a part of the first rotating side wall section (2312), a part of the second rotating side wall section (2313), and the front rotating side wall section (2311).

[0047] The lower soundproof wall section (2540) may include a lower soundproof wall body (2541) and a fourth seal rib (2542). The lower soundproof wall body (2541) is seated on the front placement surface (1540) and may be seated in surface contact with the front placement surface (1540). The outer surface of the lower soundproof wall body (2541) may be combined with the inner surface of the front rotating side wall section (2311). The inner surface of the lower soundproof wall may be in surface contact with the connecting surface (1300) of the main body (1000) or the cover side wall section (3200) of the main body cover (3000). That is, when the present invention does not include a main body cover (3000), the inner surface of the lower soundproof wall main body (2541) may come into surface contact with the connecting surface (1300) of the main body (1000), and when the present invention further includes a main body cover (3000), the inner surface of the lower soundproof wall main body (2541) may come into surface contact with the cover side wall portion (3200) of the cover main body (1000). However, due to tolerance, a gap may occur between the inner surface of the lower soundproof wall main body (2541) and the connecting surface (1300) of the main body (1000), or between the inner surface of the lower soundproof wall main body (2541) and the cover side wall portion (3200) of the main body cover (3000). In this case, the fourth sealing member (2542) is formed to protrude from the lower soundproof wall body (2541) toward the container seating surface (1100) of the main body (1000) or the upper surface of the cover upper wall (3100) of the main body cover (3000), and thus the lower soundproof wall part (2540) can come into contact with the container seating surface (1100) of the main body (1000) or the cover upper wall (3100) of the main body cover (3000).

[0048] Ultimately, the first seal leaf (2512), the second seal leaf (2522), the third seal leaf (2532), and the fourth seal leaf (2542) seal the gap between the fixed enclosure (2100) and the rotating enclosure (2300), thereby blocking noise generated during food processing from leaking out.

[0049] Fig. 17 is an enlarged perspective view of area C of Fig. 10.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 17, the rotating enclosure (2300) may include a support packing (2700). The support packing (2700) supports the upper surface of the container lid (4000) which is coupled to the container (5000) in a closed state, and may include a packing body (2710) and a packing projection (2720). The packing body (2710) and the packing projection (2720) may be formed integrally and may be formed of an elastic material. The support packing (2700) may be installed on the rotating upper wall (2314) of the rotating enclosure (2300) so as to protrude toward the upper surface of the container lid (4000). The packing body (2710) is a part that is fixedly installed on the rotating upper wall (2314), and the packing projection (2720) is formed to protrude from the packing body (2710) toward the upper surface of the container lid (4000) and is a part that contacts the upper surface of the container lid (4000). On the upper surface of the container lid (4000) that the packing projection (2720) contacts, a pair of through holes (4100) communicating with the interior of the container (5000) may be formed spaced apart from each other. The through holes (4100) serve as a passage for air to flow inside the container (5000), allowing the container lid (4000) to be easily attached to the upper part of the container (5000). The through holes (4100) may be formed symmetrically spaced apart in the center of the container lid (4000). In order for the container lid (4000) to be supported with uniform force, it is preferable that the packing projection (2720) supports the surface between the through holes (4100) on the upper surface of the container lid (4000).

[0051] Referring again to FIGS. 1 to 4, the main body cover (3000) covers the upper surface of the main body (1000) and prevents foreign substances from entering the interior of the main body (1000), and may include a cover upper wall portion (3100) and a cover side wall portion (3200). It is preferable that the main body cover (3000) be made of an elastic material so as to be easily coupled to the upper part of the main body (1000). The cover upper wall portion (3100) is a portion that covers the container seating surface (1100) of the main body (1000), and the cover side wall portion (3200) is a portion that extends downward from the cover upper wall portion (3100).

[0052] The cover upper wall portion (3100) may come into contact with the container seating surface (1100). When the cover upper wall portion (3100) comes into contact with the container seating surface (1100), as described above, the anti-slip portion with an uneven shape formed on the container seating surface (1100) can prevent relative flow between the cover upper wall portion (3100) and the container seating surface (1100).

[0053] The cover side wall portion (3200) may have a third coupling portion (3210) formed therein that is coupled to the first coupling portion (1310) of the main body (1000). The third coupling portion (3210) may mediate the coupling between the first coupling portion (1310) and the second coupling portion (2135). That is, one side of the third coupling portion (3210) may be coupled to the first coupling portion (1310), and the other side may be coupled to the second coupling portion (2135). For example, the third coupling portion (3210) may be formed in the shape of a projection with a hollow formed on the outer surface of the cover side wall portion (3200).

[0054] Referring to FIG. 12, the outer surface of the cover side wall (3200) can be supported by a support rib (1560). The support rib (1560) supporting the outer surface of the cover side wall (3200) is formed from one side of the outer surface (1511) of the rear surface (1510) to the boundary of the inner surface (1512). By supporting the outer surface of the cover side wall (3200) by this support rib (1560), the inner surface of the cover side wall (3200) and the connecting surface (1300) of the main body (1000) are in close contact, thereby making the connection between the main body (1000) and the main body cover (3000) more secure.

[0055] The present invention can prevent noise generated in the gap area by ensuring that no gap occurs between the parts constituting the food processor (100). The present invention can reduce noise by preventing relative movement between the main body (1000) and the enclosure (2000) used in the food processor (100). The present invention can reduce noise by preventing relative movement between the main body (1000), the main body cover (3000), and the enclosure (2000) used in the food processor (100). The present invention can prevent noise from leaking to the outside through the gap between the parts. The present invention has the effect of preventing noise and damage by preventing collision with the fixed enclosure (2100) when the rotating enclosure (2300) is in an open state. The present invention has the effect of preventing noise caused by vibration of the container (5000) by supporting the container (5000) so that it does not shake during food processing.
