The slider 66 is provided at one end of the link 65 remote from the crank 64, and may be integrally formed with the link 65 or may be assembled to the link 65 as a separate component. Crank 64 connects lid assembly 3 and housing body 111. Referring to fig. 12, lid body 31 of lid assembly 3 is provided with an axial hole 34, and crank 64 includes a crank shaft 641, and crank shaft 641 is inserted into axial hole 34 and fixedly assembled with axial hole 34. Rotation of lid assembly 3 causes crank 64 to rotate together, such that crank 64 rotates relative to housing body 111. Crank 64 is rotatably connected to link 65 at the other end in addition to being connected to lid assembly 3 and housing body 111. Crank 64 may be connected to connecting rod 65 by bolt 642. The axis of the end of the crank 64 connected to the lid assembly 3 is the first axis 691 and the axis of the end connected to the link 65 is the second axis 692. The other end of the link 65 is connected to a slider 66. The axis of one end of the connecting rod 65 connected with the sliding block 66 is a third axis 693. In some embodiments, the link 65 and the slider 66 are fixedly connected. When the crank 64 rotates, the connecting rod 65 is driven to rotate, and the sliding block 66 is driven to slide.

The elastic member 63 is provided between the slider 66 and the crank 64. Both ends of the elastic member 63 are respectively pulled, and one end of the elastic member 63 is connected to the slider 66, but of course, it can be considered that the elastic member is connected to the link 65, and thus deformation can be achieved. The elastic member 63 includes a first elastic member connecting end 631 and a second elastic member connecting end 632 (the first elastic member connecting end 631 and the second elastic member connecting end 632 serve as two ends of the elastic member 63), and the first elastic member connecting end 631 is connected to the slider 66, for example, as shown in fig. 7 and 11. The second elastic member connection end 632 is connected to the crank shaft 641 and can deform, such as stretch, as the slider 66 slides. Of course, based on the elastic member 63 providing the tension force in the open state and the close state, two ends of the elastic member 63 are connected to different positions of the hinge mechanism, or one end of the elastic member is connected to the hinge mechanism and the other end is connected to the housing body and other components, so as to be deformable, as described in detail later.

Referring to fig. 8 in combination with fig. 7, when the lid assembly 3 is in the closed state, the crank 64, the connecting rod 65 and the elastic member 63 form a triangle, that is, the first axis 691, the second axis 692 and the third axis 693 are not in a straight line, and form a virtual triangle, as shown by the thick dotted line in the figure, so that a stable tightening force can be obtained, and the lid assembly 3 is closed tightly and stably. The junction of the crank 64 and the connecting rod 65 (which may be considered as the second axis 692) is located on one side of the elastic member 63 (the right side of the elastic member 63 in the figure). The elastic member 63 is parallel to a line between the first axis 691 and the third axis 693.

Referring now to fig. 10 in conjunction with fig. 9, when the lid assembly 3 is in the open-lid position, the crank 64, the link 65 and the resilient member 63 form a triangle, i.e., the connecting lines between the first axis 691, the second axis 692 and the third axis 693 form a triangle, as indicated by the thick dashed lines. The elastic member 63 is parallel to a line connecting the first axis 691 and the third axis 693. The connection point of the crank 64 and the connecting rod 65 (which can be regarded as the second axis 692) is located on the other side of the elastic member 63 (the left side of the elastic member 63 in the figure). The first axis 691, the second axis 692 and the third axis 693 are not in a straight line, and form a virtual triangle, so that a stable tension can be obtained, the cup cover assembly 3 can be stably kept at an opening angle, and the cup cover assembly 3 can be prevented from automatically rebounding to close the cover. The second axis 692 extends from one side of the elastic member 63 to the other side of the elastic member 63 across the dead-line L during opening and closing of the lid assembly 3. The dead-line L is the central axis of the elastic member 63. The tension of the elastic member 63 can keep the cover assembly 3 in the closed state and the open state.

With the arrangement, in the cover closing state of the cup cover component 3, the crank 64, the connecting rod 65 and the elastic piece 63 form a triangle, and the elastic piece 63 can provide stable tension force to enable the cover of the cup cover component 3 to be tightly closed; in the uncovering state of the cup cover component 3, the crank 64, the connecting rod 65 and the elastic piece 63 form a triangle, so that stable tension can be obtained, the cup cover component 3 is stably kept at an opening angle through the tightening force of the elastic piece 63, and the cup cover component 3 can be prevented from automatically rebounding and covering.

In some embodiments, the elastic member 63 extends in a vertical direction. In the cover closing state of the cup cover component 3, one side of the hinge mechanism 62, which is back to the stirring cup component 2, protrudes until being positioned on one side of the elastic piece 63, and in the cover opening state of the cup cover component 3, the hinge mechanism 62 protrudes toward the stirring cup component 2 until being positioned on the other side of the elastic piece 63. The above positional relationship can be understood by means of the second axis 692. In some embodiments, the maximum distance L1 (shown in fig. 8) that the hinge 62 protrudes relative to the elastic member 63 when the cap assembly 3 is in the closed state can also be understood as the maximum distance that the second axis 692 protrudes relative to the elastic member 63. The maximum distance L2 (shown in fig. 10) that the hinge 62 protrudes relative to the elastic member 63 in the lid-opened state of the cap assembly 3 can also be understood as the maximum distance that the second axis 692 protrudes relative to the elastic member 63 in the lid-opened state. L1 > L2. So set up, bowl cover subassembly 3 is closing the lid state, and articulated mechanism 62 is protruding to stretch farther, so utilize the space of bowl cover subassembly 3 in the shell main part 111 dorsad for shell main part 111's compact structure can be designed the size less, is favorable to the rational utilization and the miniaturization in space. When the cup cover component 3 is opened, the hinge mechanism 62 protrudes and extends relatively near to one side of the elastic piece 63 facing the stirring cup component 2, the elastic piece 63 can be arranged relatively close to the stirring cup component 2, the size of the shell main body 111 in the transverse direction of the stirring cup component 2 can be relatively small, the front and back sizes of the shell main body 111 can be relatively small, and therefore the front and back sizes of the food processor on the whole can be relatively small, which is beneficial to miniaturization and placement on a small-sized operation table board.

Referring to fig. 11 and 13, in some embodiments, the hinge mechanism 62 includes a support bracket 67. The support frame 67 is fixedly connected with the housing main body 111 and includes a chute 671. The chute 671 extends in a vertical direction. In some embodiments, after the hinge mechanism 62 and the elastic member 63 may be assembled to the support bracket 67, the hinge assembly 6 may be assembled to the housing main body 111 as a whole. In other embodiments, the supporting frame 67 may be integrally formed with the housing main body 111, and the hinge mechanism 62 and the elastic member 63 are respectively assembled to the supporting frame 67. The crank shaft 641 is rotatably connected to the support frame 67, passes through the support frame 67, and is rotatable with respect to the support frame 67, so as to be rotatably connected to the housing main body 111 through the support frame 67 and rotatable with respect to the housing main body 111. In some embodiments, the crank shaft 641 is connected to the second elastic member connecting end 632 of the elastic member 63 through the supporting bracket 67, as shown in fig. 7. The first elastic member connecting end 631 of the elastic member 63 is connected to the slider 66, and the slider 66 is slidably located in the sliding groove 671. In the case where the support frame 67 is attached to the housing main body 111, the support frame 67 is stationary with respect to the housing main body 111, and the movement of the slider 66 within the chute 671 may be regarded as the slider 66 sliding with respect to the housing main body 111. The slider 66 slides along the chute 671 when the hinge mechanism 62 moves. In some embodiments, the slider 66 is fixedly connected to the link 65, and the slider 66 is slidable within the chute 671. The slider 66 slides along the sliding groove 671, and thus, the slider can slide along a fixed path, so that the opening and closing stability of the cup cover assembly 3 is ensured.

In some embodiments, first elastic element connecting end 631 of elastic element 63 is connected to slider 66, and second elastic element connecting end 632 of elastic element 63 is connected to housing body 111, lid assembly 3, or other components of hinge assembly 6, for example, second elastic element connecting end 632 of elastic element 63 is connected to crank shaft 641 or support bracket 67 to achieve the different positions of the hinge mechanism described above, and second elastic element connecting end 632 of elastic element 63 may also be connected to housing body 111. The second elastic member connecting end 632 of the elastic member 63 is fixed, so that the opening and closing stability is ensured. In other embodiments, the second elastic member connection end 632 of the elastic member 63 may be connected to other components such that the position of the second elastic member connection end 632 is not changed.

Referring to fig. 8 and 10 in combination with fig. 7 and 9, in some embodiments, when the lid assembly 3 is in the lid closing state and the lid opening state, an included angle between the elastic member 63 and the link rod 65 is smaller than 90 degrees, and fig. 8 illustrates that an included angle a between the elastic member 63 and the link rod 65 is smaller than 90 degrees in the lid closing state. Fig. 10 illustrates that the angle b between the elastic member 63 and the link 65 is less than 90 degrees in the uncapped state. It is also understood that the angle between the line connecting the first axis 691 and the third axis 693 and the line connecting the second axis 692 and the third axis 693 is less than 90 degrees. So set up, the contained angle between elastic component 63 and the connecting rod 65 is less than 90 degrees, rotates bowl cover subassembly 3 easily.

With continued reference to fig. 8 and 10, in some embodiments, the host assembly 1 further includes a triggering element 68 and a sensing element 69. The trigger 68 is provided on the hinge assembly 6 (in this embodiment, on the slider 66) to be movable relative to the housing main body 111 when the lid assembly 3 is rotated, and the sensor 69 is fixed relative to the housing main body 111. When the cap assembly 3 rotates, the triggering member 68 moves, and the sensing member 69 remains stationary, however, a technician can understand that as long as one of the triggering member 68 and the sensing member 69 is disposed on the housing main body 111 and the other is disposed on the sliding block 66, or the triggering member 68 and the sensing member 69 are disposed at different positions of the hinge mechanism 62, and one of the triggering member 68 and the sensing member 69 moves along with the sliding block 66, for example, one is disposed on the sliding block 66 and the other is disposed on the supporting frame 67, and no matter which way is adopted, the relative movement between the two can be ensured. When lid assembly 3 is in the closed state, trigger 68 is in the sensing range of sensor 69, and sensor 69 is closed as shown in fig. 8. As shown in fig. 10, when the lid assembly 3 is in the open state, the trigger 68 is located outside the sensing range of the sensing element 69, and the sensing element 69 is disconnected. The controller 12 of the food processor can detect the on-off state of the sensing element 69, and control the food processor to start the protection mode if the sensing element cannot sense the trigger element 68. The protection mode is, for example: the control motor 13 does not rotate and then the stirring blade assembly 25 does not rotate, and certainly, other dangerous parts can be controlled not to work when the cover opening state, so that the safety is improved, in addition, one of the trigger piece 68 and the sensing piece 69 is arranged on the sliding block 66, the structure is compact, the performance is stable, detection is realized by moving along with the sliding block 66, because the moving stroke of the sliding block 66 is relatively large, the moving distance of the trigger piece 68 between the sensing area and the non-sensing area of the sensing piece 69 is large, the trigger piece 68 can be closer to the sensing piece 69, the closing of the sensing piece 69 is ensured, the sensing piece 69 can be further away from the sensing piece 69, the disconnection of the sensing piece 69 is ensured, so that the switching between the closing and the disconnection can be realized more accurately, the cover opening state and the cover closing state of the cup cover assembly 3 can be distinguished more accurately, the condition of false triggering is reduced, and the accuracy of judgment is improved. The skilled person will understand that the sensing between the triggering element 68 and the sensing element 69 includes not only the sensing method using the magnet and the reed switch, but also the switching method by the key, and also some infrared sensing methods.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not to be construed as limiting the present application, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the present application.
