The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the stereogram according to the food-handling equipment 100 of an embodiment of the invention.The food-handling equipment 100 that illustrates is food processors and will in whole specification, be called as food processor.Yet, should be appreciated that food-handling equipment can be alternatively for blender, liquefier, mixer or be used to mix, cut, stir or handle other equipment of food.
Turn to Fig. 2, interlock 120 comprises linkage 201, between the switching device shifter 208 of linkage 201 in lid 116 (when being in suitable position) and power base portion 102 connection is provided.In this embodiment, linkage 201 comprises axle 204, and axle 204 has and is used for when lid is positioned at suitable position and covers 116 tops 202 that engage.Bar 214 vertically extends from the bottom of axle 204, and the actuator pin 206 that is used for engaging with the switch actuator 304 of switching device shifter 208 vertically extends from bar 214.Though in this embodiment, bar 214 is the members that integrally form that are connected in axle 204 with actuator pin 206, as required, and axle 204, bar 214 and to sell 206 can be separately or the member of integral body.As be to be understood that interlock 120 can comprise and is arranged to the relative position of switching device shifter 208 and covers 116 act on the still less matched or additional member of point above the interlock 120 (integrally form or be connected).
In order to hold interlock 120, bowl 106 is provided with near near the passage 212 of the oral area 114 (or it) of bowl 106 base portion 108 (or it) to bowls 106.In the embodiment that illustrates, passage 212 is straight basically and forms the part of bowl wall 110 (outstanding a little from it), but that yes is possible for alternative channel position.
As discuss in the above, can be in sight for the contents that make bowl 106, the wall 110 of bowl 106 is transparent or semitransparent.Therefore, the passage 212 that runs through wall 110 extensions also is transparent, and interlocking path 210 is visible.For interlock 120 can be interacted with switching device shifter 208, the end of passage 212 is open (allowing the motion of the member of interlock 120).Therefore, during the use of bowl 106 and/or cleaning, fragment (for example, food etc.) can admission passage 212 and is stuck in passage 212 places.This causes bowl 106 ugly.
In order to address this problem, embodiment of the present invention provides the opaque or opaque basically path 210 that is positioned at passage 212 and holds interlock (or its part).In this case, path 210 holds linkage/axle 204.Because path 210 be opaque/opaque basically, be sightless so extend through the member of the interlock 120 of path 210 as far as the user, any fragment that maybe can catch in passage 212 is sightless as far as the user.
In order further to address this problem, and if desired, an end or two ends of path 210 can be provided with the seal such as O shape ring.In this case, the associated end of path 210 can be provided with the recess that is used to receive O shape ring etc., and the contact linkage/axle 204 that is dimensioned to of this O shape ring does not still prevent its motion.Through a kind of like this seal is set, can prevent that fragment from entering into path 210 or making its minimizing.
As discuss in the above, fixing in position the time at lid 116, form top 202 that portion 218 supports against axle 204 by what lid carried, it is downward with respect to bowl 106 to urge axle 204.This makes axle 204 can push away actuator pin 206 downwards and makes pin cooperate with the actuator 304 of switching device shifter 208, make it present down state.
When removing from bowl 106 when covering 116, urge safety mutually-locking device 120 through bias device 302 and be back to neutral position.In this position, release-push actuator 304, and switching device shifter 208 is back to down state, under this down state, prevents food processor 100 operations.
In alternative embodiments of the present invention, the handle 112 that interlock 120 can be arranged to extend through bowl 106 from its place that is connected with lid 116 (or formation portions 218 that cover) is to be connected with the switching device shifter 208 of power base portion 102.In a kind of like this device, interlock is configured as the connection that provides through handle---and for example, member has the C shape, and the opaque path that holds interlock will be shaped accordingly.
Fig. 4 shows the figure of the method that is used to make food processor bowl 106, and food processor bowl 106 comprises the safety mutually-locking device 120 such as the safety mutually-locking device of above description.Fig. 5 A to 5E has described each stage of manufacturing approach.
At step 402 place, as with the arrow among Fig. 5 A 504 expression, the link block 502 through for example rubber pin or brass pin and so on is inserted in two open end of path 210 and seals 402 paths 210.Path 210 by opaque such as stainless steel or ABS steel or basically opaque material process.Shown in Fig. 5 A, this produces the path 506 that is sealed.
At step 404 place, at the path 506 molded about bowls 106 (seeing Fig. 5 B) that sealed.Link block 502 is set prevents a bowl material inlet passage 210, and directly at path 210 molded about bowls 106 to guarantee between the material of path 506 and bowl 106, not having the gap.By the molded bowl 106 of the transparent/translucent plastic material such as (for example) triphenylmenthane (Tritan), PET, SAN or PC.
At step 406 place, open the path 506 that is sealed through removing pin 502.
At step 408 place, shown in Fig. 5 C, the axle 204 of interlock 120 is inserted in the path 210 on the direction of arrow 508.If desired, O shape ring can use at the top of path or at the gap between seal path and the interlock.
In case interlock is positioned at suitable position, spring 302 and bowl capping 310 at step 410 place assembling and fastening (step 412) in position so that interlock 120 keep in position.This can be through using the screw (not shown) or accomplishing through being buckled in bowl capping 310 via the receiving surface 510 that is suitable for receiving bowl capping 310.Receiving surface 310 can for example comprise carinate edge so that the bowl capping 310 fastening.Can also use the alternative device such as adhesive, screw or alternative securing member.
In one embodiment, also exist be fastened to bowl go up and help to make interlock 120 keep in position go up a bowl capping 512.Can utilize any one fastening upward bowl capping 512 of the method for the above description that can also be used for bowl capping 310.In such embodiment, step 410 and 412 comprises an assembling and/or the capping 512 of fastening upward bowl.
If interlock 120 is the interlocks that are arranged in the type of bowl 106 handle 112, then in the step 404 of above description, the part that is molded in around the path 506 that is sealed of bowl 106 is bowl handles 112.
Alternative manufacturing approach is possible.For example, depend on the material of use, at first can be molded bowl and do not comprise the path that is sealed.In this case, path 210 can be compelled to be formed into (for example, through being pressed into cooperation) in the bowl after molded, or path 210 can after machine-tooled method in be machined in the bowl that is molded (for example, through boring etc.).
Should be appreciated that in this specification that the present invention open and that limit expands to mentions or all two or more alternative combinations in the conspicuous single characteristic from text or accompanying drawing.All these different combinations constitute each alternative aspect of the present invention.
