[0021] Hereinafter, a mixer having a one-touch cap according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all technical concepts of the present invention; therefore, at the time of filing this application, there may be various equivalents and modifications that can replace them.

[0023] FIGS. 1 to 7 are drawings illustrating a mixer having a one-touch stopper according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] According to this, the mixer (100) of the present invention includes a mixer body (110) having a drive motor (112) inside and an operating unit (114) for controlling the drive motor (112) outside, and a mixing container (120) having a cutter assembly (122) inside and lower, which is detachably provided on the upper part of the mixer body (110) and rotates by receiving the rotational force of the drive motor (112) when the user operates the operating unit (114).

[0025] At this time, the mixer (100) of the present invention is a concept that includes a mixer or blender that grinds or crushes food such as fruits and vegetables in a mixing container (120) by rotating a cutter assembly (122) by the rotational force of a drive motor (112).

[0026] In addition, the top of the mixing container (120) is further provided with a support ring (130) that can be opened and closed to prevent food from being discharged to the outside.

[0028] The configuration of each part of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0029] First, the above-mentioned mixer body (110) is equipped with a drive motor (112) inside, and a power transmission unit (113) is provided on the upper side of the drive motor (112) to transmit power to a cutter assembly (122) mounted inside the mixing container (120). Accordingly, when the drive motor (112) is driven, the cutter assembly (122) rotates by receiving power through the power transmission unit (113).

[0030] At this time, a container mounting groove (115) is formed concavely in the upper center of the mixer body (110), and a power transmission unit (113) is provided in the center of the container mounting groove (115) so that the lower end of the mixing container (120) is mounted in the container mounting groove (115).

[0031] When the mixing container (120) is separated from the main body (110) of the mixer, the circular container mounting groove (115) is left open so that the power transmission unit (113) is exposed. Consequently, if various foreign substances, such as dust floating in the air or food generated during cooking, enter the container mounting groove (115) and accumulate or stick to it, it is difficult to remove, and it also hinders the connection of the mixing container (120) and the smooth rotation and operation of the power transmission unit (113).

[0032] Accordingly, the present invention allows a stopper (140) to be detachably mounted to cover the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110) so as to prevent dust from settling and accumulating in the air or food particles from splashing and sticking to the container mounting groove (115) during cooking.

[0033] At this time, the main body of the mixer (110) has an inclined surface formed as it goes upwards overall, and the stopper (140) is formed in a dome shape with the central upper part protruding upward so that the inclined surface and the upper surface coincide. Accordingly, when the stopper (140) is inserted into the container mounting groove (115), the upper center of the main body of the mixer (110) is rounded to prevent the container mounting groove (115) of the main body of the mixer (110) from being exposed, so that when the mixing container (120) is separated and only the main body of the mixer (110) is stored, the aesthetic appearance is also improved.

[0034] In this stopper (140), a supporting protrusion (142) is formed along the lower edge of the dome-shaped body (141) and inserted into the container mounting groove (115). Of course, it is preferable to further install an O-ring on the outer surface of the supporting protrusion (142).

[0035] Accordingly, when attaching the mixing container (120) to the main body (110) of the mixer, the stopper (140) is removed and the mixing container (120) is attached to the container mounting groove (115) to use the mixer (100) to crush or grind food. After using the mixer (100), the mixing container (120) is removed from the main body (110) of the mixer to remove food from the mixing container (120) or to wash and dry it, and then the stopper (140) is attached to the container mounting groove (115) to cover it.

[0036] Meanwhile, the mixing container (120) mounted on the main body (110) of the mixer may be made of plastic, glass, metal, etc., and has a receiving space (121) formed inside to hold food. Of course, a container handle (123) may be further provided on the side of the mixing container (120) so that the mixing container (120) can be easily moved.

[0037] At this time, a cutter assembly (122) is provided in the lower central part of the receiving space (121) of the mixing container (120) to receive rotational force from a power transmission unit (113) provided in the center of the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110) and rotate.

[0038] The cutter assembly (122) is a structure in which one or more cutter blades (122a) are combined, and when the drive motor (112) rotates in one direction, it rotates in the same direction. In particular, the cutter assembly (122) can rotate clockwise, but the drive motor (112) can also be controlled to rotate counterclockwise.

[0039] And the mixing container (120) has an outlet (124) formed at the top front, and a support ring (130) is detachably mounted on the top of the mixing container (120) to prevent food from being discharged to the outside.

[0040] In the center of this support ring (130), an inlet (131) is formed that penetrates vertically to allow food to be injected into the receiving space (121) of the mixing container (120). Meanwhile, the inner diameter of the inlet of the support ring (130) is formed to be identical to the inner diameter of the container mounting groove (115) formed concavely in the upper center of the mixer body (110), so that a stopper (140) that can be mounted in the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110) can be used to block the inlet (131) of the support ring (130) that is mounted in the mixing container (120). Through this, the components of the entire mixer (100) can be simplified, and a single stopper (140) can be selectively used to close the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110) or to block the inlet (131) of the support ring (130).

[0041] Meanwhile, the main body (110) of the mixer is equipped with an operating unit (114) for controlling the operation of a drive motor (112) so that food can be ground using the mixer (100), and a display unit (117) for checking the operation status of the mixer.

[0042] At this time, the above operating unit (114) drives the drive motor (112), and the control unit (118) can control the drive motor (112) according to the operation of the drive switch.

[0043] These drive switches are provided in multiple quantities so that the rotational speed of the drive motor (112) can be controlled into 'weak', 'medium', and 'strong' according to the corresponding switch signal.

[0044] Meanwhile, the main body of the mixer (110) is provided with a display unit (117) that can check the operating status of the mixer, and lights up when the operating switch is operated to indicate the operating status of the main body of the mixer (110). This display unit (117) may be composed of an LED lamp, but is not limited thereto and may be composed of various types such as an LCD.

[0045] In addition, the control unit (118) receives power from the power supply unit (103) and drives the drive motor (112). It is preferable that the power supply unit (103) receives power through a household power plug and converts it into appropriate power for driving the drive motor (112) by including a transformer or a separate adapter.

[0046] Meanwhile, when the center of the stopper (140) is pressed in a one-touch manner while elastically supporting the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110), the stopper (140) rises to the upper part of the mixer body (110) so that the stopper can be easily removed.

[0047] The one-touch button structure of such a stopper (140) can be formed in various ways using an elastic support piece and a spring that are supported in the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110).

[0048] In addition, without deforming the structure of the stopper (140), a structure can be adopted in which an elastic support piece and a spring are attached to the main body so that the stopper (140) is fitted into the container mounting groove (115) and, when released, one side of the elastic support piece is pressed to raise the stopper (140).

[0049] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, on the inner wall of the supporting protrusion (142) of the stopper (140) ' An operating pin (145) of the shape is provided, and a guide tube (146) that can move up and down is elastically supported downward by a spring (147) at the bottom of a dome-shaped body (141), and a guide groove (A) is formed on the outer surface of the guide tube (146) to guide the end of the operating pin (145) and control the movement of the up and down. At this time, the guide groove (A) is structured so that when a user presses the plug (140), the up and down movement of the guide tube (146) is restricted by the end of the operating pin (145), and various one-touch operating principles such as a push button principle can be adopted.

[0050] According to this structure, when the stopper (140) is placed in the container mounting groove (115) and pressed once and then released, the lower end of the guide tube (146) is pressed against the bottom surface of the container mounting groove (115), and the operating pin (145) is supported by moving from A1 through A5 to the A4 portion of the guide groove (A) that serves as the guide, so that the stopper (140) stably covers the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110).

[0051] Meanwhile, when the stopper (140) is pressed once again in a one-touch manner toward the container mounting groove (115) and then released, the lower end of the guide tube (146) is pressed against the bottom surface of the container mounting groove (115), and the operating pin (145) moves from A4 of the guide groove (A) through A3 and A2 to the A1 portion, causing the dome-shaped body (141) of the stopper (140) to be lifted up to the upper part of the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110). Therefore, in this case, since the stopper (140) is in a lifted state, the stopper (140) can be easily lifted and separated.

[0052] In this way, the one-touch detachable structure of the above plug (140) can be implemented in various modified ways.

[0054] Hereinafter, an example of operation of a mixer having a one-touch cap according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0055] After mounting the mixing container (120) onto the mixer body (110), for example, when apples and milk are placed or poured into the receiving space (121) as food, the support ring (130) is covered and the stopper (140) is fitted onto the support ring (130), and the control unit (114) is operated, the drive motor (112) is driven and the cutter assembly (122) rotates.

[0056] After using the mixer (100), the mixing container (120) is separated from the mixer body (110), and the stopper (140) on the upper part of the support ring (130) is fitted into the container mounting groove (115) of the mixer body (110) to finish the process, thereby preventing dust or various foreign substances from accumulating or getting stuck in the container mounting groove (115).

[0057] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, a mixing container (120) with a tumbler (120a) structure that can be inverted and carried while grinding a small amount of food can be installed without using a mixing container (120) with an outlet (124) formed at the top that is used in the main body (110) of the mixer.

[0058] At this time, a blade assembly (120b) is detachably attached to the opening of the tumbler (120a). Therefore, after putting food into the opening of the tumbler (120a), the blade assembly (120b) is attached to the opening of the tumbler (120a), and then, while in an inverted state, it is fitted into the container mounting groove (115) of the blender body (110) to crush or grind the food.

[0059] Of course, the above tumbler (120a) can be made of various materials such as glass, plastic, and metal, and is configured such that a tumbler handle may be optionally provided depending on the size of its outer diameter. For example, if the outer diameter is small enough to be held with one hand, no handle may be provided, and if the outer diameter is large enough not to be held with one hand, or if it is made of glass and is heavy or slippery, a handle may be provided.

[0061] The above description is an illustrative explanation of the technical concept of the present invention, and various modifications and variations are possible to those skilled in the art without departing from the essence of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be interpreted by the claims below, and all technical concepts within an equivalent scope shall be included within the scope of rights of the present invention.
