The embodiment of the application relates to a food processor. The food processor can be a wall breaking machine, a juice extractor, a soybean milk machine and other food processing appliances with heating function and whipping function.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the food processor 100 may include a food processor main body 2 and a stirring cup 1. When the food material is prepared, the stirring cup 1 is placed above the processor main machine 2. After the preparation is completed, the stirring cup 1 can be taken down from the main processor 2.

The whole stirring cup 1 is supported above the processor main body 2. The lower end surface of the stirring cup 1 and the upper end surface of the processor host 2 can be provided with a mechanical matching piece and a conductive contact which are matched and connected with each other. The mechanical mating member may be a coupler. The conductive contacts may be conventional electrical connectors. After the stirring cup 1 is placed on the food processor main machine 2, the mechanical matching parts and the conductive contacts of the stirring cup 1 are correspondingly connected, so that the stirring cup 1 is mechanically and electrically connected with the food processor main machine 2, and then a motor, a power supply distributor, a controller and the like which are arranged in the food processor main machine 2 can respectively provide power, power supply, signal control and other support for a stirring cutter, an anti-overflow probe, a vacuum pumping pump and the like which are arranged in the stirring cup 1. The term whipping blade is to be understood broadly herein and may be a crushing blade, a grinding wheel, a wall breaking screw, etc.

Blender cup 1 may include base 19, cutter head 157, cutter assembly 55, cup body 12, lid 11, and vent cover 10. The cutter assembly 55 is mounted in a central region of the cutter disc 157, and the cutter disc 157 is mounted at the bottom of the cup body 12 and encloses a processing space 125 for accommodating food materials with the cup body 12. A base 19 is mounted to the lower portion of cup 12. The lower surface of the impeller 157 may be provided with heating elements 158 to heat the food material in the processing space 125. A seal ring 151 is provided between the cutter 157 and the cup body 12. A gasket 13 is provided between the base 19 and the cup body 12. A seal ring 20 is provided between the base 19 and the processor main body 2.

The cup lid 11 is arranged at an opening above the cup body 12. A feeding hole is formed in the middle area of the cup cover 11. An exhaust cover 10 is installed at the charging hole. A steam channel is arranged in the exhaust cover 10 and can be used for exhausting steam generated during heating; moreover, the width of the steam channel is smaller and obviously smaller than the size of the feeding hole, so that the noise generated by whipping can be obviously reduced.

As shown in fig. 4 to 9, the cutter assembly 55 includes the spindle assembly 50, the first cutter 15, and the second cutter 16. The spindle assembly 50 includes a rotating shaft 17. The rotating shaft 17 has a first end located outside the processing space 125 (i.e., below the impeller 157) and a second end extending into the processing space 125 (i.e., above the impeller 157).

The first and second knives 15, 16 have different functions for making different food materials. The first cutter 15 is detachably mounted to the second end of the rotating shaft 17 (the upper end of the rotating shaft 17) and is disposed in the processing space 125 for contacting and processing the food material in the processing space 125.

The second tool 16 is detachably attached to the second end of the rotating shaft 17 (the upper end of the rotating shaft 17) instead of the first tool 15, and is disposed in the processing space 125 to contact and process the food in the processing space 125.

Since the first and second cutters 15 and 16 can provide different functions to produce different food materials, the food processor 100 can have multiple functions by replacing the first and second cutters 15 and 16. Furthermore, the first cutter 15 or the second cutter 16 can be detached from the rotating shaft 17 at the time of cleaning, and the cleaning effect can be improved.

Further, a shaft sleeve 18 is embedded outside a second end (an upper end of the rotating shaft 17) of the rotating shaft 17, the first cutter 15 and the second cutter 16 are both provided with a mounting sleeve 60, and the mounting of the first cutter 15 and the second cutter 16 on the rotating shaft 17 is realized through the matching of the mounting sleeve 60 and the shaft sleeve 18.

The nesting of the mounting sleeve 60 and the shaft sleeve 18 can increase the contact area of the two and ensure the mounting strength of the two. In addition, this nested mounting also facilitates mounting and dismounting of the first tool 15 and the second tool 16.

Of course, in other embodiments, the detachable mounting between the first tool 15 and the second tool 16 and the rotating shaft 17 may be realized by a screw connection, a snap connection, a screw connection, or the like.

Specifically, the shaft sleeve 18 is provided with a projection 172, and the mounting sleeve 60 is provided with a mounting groove 65 matched with the projection 172. The positioning effect of the sleeve 18 and the mounting sleeve 60 can be enhanced by the protrusion 172 and the mounting groove 65.

The mounting groove 65 includes an access passage 64 extending vertically, and a positioning groove 66 located above the access passage 64, wherein a width W2 of the positioning groove 66 is greater than a width W1 of the access passage 64, so that a bottom surface of the positioning groove 66 includes a left stop surface 662 located at the upper left of the access passage 64, and a right stop surface 664 located at the upper right of the access passage 64.

During installation, the protrusion 172 is first inserted into the access passage 64, and the protrusion 172 is slid to the upper end of the access passage 64, as shown in fig. 10; then, optionally (e.g., when the rotating shaft 17 is rotated counterclockwise in the subsequent operation), the protrusion 172 is slid leftward into the left half of the positioning slot 66 and above the left stop surface 662, so that it is stopped by the left stop surface 662 and prevented from moving up and down. This tendency to rotate counterclockwise causes the tab 172 to abut tightly against the left sidewall of the left half of the detent 66, as viewed in FIG. 12, away from the access passage 64, thereby preventing downward withdrawal of the detent 66 from the access passage 64.

Or optionally (for example, when the rotating shaft 17 rotates clockwise during subsequent operations), the protrusion 172 slides rightward to enter the right half of the positioning slot 66 and is located above the right stopping surface 664, so that it is stopped by the right stopping surface 664 and prevented from sliding up and down. This tendency to rotate clockwise causes the tab 172 to abut tightly against the right side wall of the right half of the detent 66, as viewed in FIG. 11, away from the access passage 64, thereby preventing downward withdrawal of the detent 66 from the access passage 64.

The arrangement of the access passage 64 and the positioning slot 66 enables the shaft sleeve 18 and the mounting sleeve 60 to be kept relatively constant and kept in the two states by means of rotation of the rotating shaft 17 even though a real locking structure (locking and keeping the two states) does not exist between the shaft sleeve 18 and the mounting sleeve 60, so that the mounting process is simplified, the assembly and disassembly are facilitated, and the two states are kept.

Referring to fig. 6 to 9, the mounting groove 65 further includes a guide groove 62 located below the access passage 64, and the guide groove 62 is generally wide at the bottom and narrow at the top to guide the protrusion 172 into the access passage 64.

The guiding groove 62 is provided to facilitate the protrusion 172 to enter the access passage 64, so as to realize the quick installation and positioning of the protrusion 172 and the installation groove 65.

Similarly, the upper end of the projection 172 forms a guide 171 which is generally in the shape of a triangle with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

The arrangement of the guiding portion 171 can facilitate the protrusion 172 to enter the access passage 64, and achieve the quick installation and positioning of the protrusion 172 and the installation groove 65.

Further, the mounting groove 65 may be formed at an inner surface of the mounting sleeve 60, and the mounting groove 65 does not penetrate the mounting sleeve 60 in a radial direction.

The above arrangement of the mounting groove 65 prevents the mating projection 172 from being exposed to the outside, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance (flatness and integrity of the exposed surface). The structural strength of the mounting sleeve 60 can be increased, and the matching firmness of the mounting sleeve and the shaft sleeve 18 is ensured.

As shown in fig. 4, 6 and 7, the first cutter 15 includes crushing blades 154, 156 extending in the transverse direction. The crushing blades 154, 156 are provided with cutting edges, wherein the cutting edges of the crushing blades 154 are linear, and the cutting edges of the crushing blades 156 are zigzag. The first cutter 15 may comprise two or more cutters arranged in different layers, each of which may comprise one or more blades.

The second cutter 16 comprises a vertically extending stirring blade. The stirring sheet can be provided with no obvious cutting edge, and is only used for stirring food materials during heating to prevent bottom pasting.

When it is necessary to pulverize food materials to prepare pasty food materials or soup, for example, to prepare soybean milk or fruit juice, the first cutter 15 may be attached to the rotating shaft 17, as shown in fig. 13. When the food material needs to be heated without being crushed, such as soup making, noodle cooking, congee cooking, the first cutter 15 may be removed and the second cutter 16 may be installed, as shown in fig. 15, the second cutter 16 may be rotated at a proper time during the heating process to prevent the food from being burnt. When there is no risk of food material being burned, such as boiling water or scented tea, the first cutter 15 or the second cutter 16 can be removed, as shown in fig. 14.

The other structures of the first cutter 15 and the second cutter 16 may be the same except for the types and structures of the blades (the crushing blades 154, 156 and the stirring blades).

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first end of the rotary shaft 17 (the lower end of the rotary shaft 17) is provided with a coupler 54. The coupler 54 can cooperate with the coupler 24 on the processor host 2 to transmit the power generated by the motor 28 to the rotating shaft 17 and the first cutter 15 or the second cutter 16.

The intermediate region of the rotating shaft 17 (between the first and second ends) is further provided with a bearing assembly 52, the bearing assembly 52 being for rotatably mounting the rotating shaft 17 to the impeller 157. A lock nut 150 is used to lock the rotating shaft 17 and the rotating shaft assembly 50 to the cutter disc 157.

The above description is only exemplary of the present application and should not be taken as limiting the present application, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
