Description

Food processing device and locking mechanism thereof

Technical Field

The present invention relates to food processing devices, and more particularly to a locking mechanism for a bowl assembly in a food processing device.

Background

Some existing food processing devices, for example: the locking structure of the soup cooker and the bowl assembly is generally as follows: the stainless steel bowl is connected with the bowl seat and the handle, and the bowl seat or the handle is provided with a corresponding locking device, so that the bowl assembly can be tightly locked on the shell of the machine. To enable smooth operation of the machine, another bowl assembly locking arrangement has been proposed: two locking mechanisms are arranged on two outer side surfaces of the large shell component, so that the bowl component can be tightly locked on the large shell component. Referring to fig. 1, the conventional latch mechanism 3 mainly includes a latch plate 31, and the latch plate 31 includes a main body 311, a latch head 312 disposed at the top end of the main body 311, and a latch hole 313 disposed at the bottom of the main body 311. The button hole 313 is semicircular, and its contour is formed by surrounding a straight edge located above and a circular arc edge combined with the straight edge. This buckle 31 has some problems: in the process of operating the buckle plate 31, a user sometimes places hands on the straight edge above the buckle hole 31 to perform unlocking operation with great force, and if the user does not pay attention, the situation that the whole machine is lifted upwards is easily caused, so that the whole machine can jolt or even fall when the lock catch is opened, and food in a smart bowl splashes out to influence the user experience; more seriously, if the food in the bowl is heated and has high temperature, the food can splash out to scald people, and safety accidents are caused.

In some embodiments, the guard includes a top-down, outside-in extending sloping plate above the buttonhole.

In some embodiments, the guard further comprises at least one support plate connecting the body and the swash plate.

In some embodiments, the guard includes two support plates respectively connecting the body and the inclined plate at both sides.

In some embodiments, the latch mechanism further includes a rotating bracket rotatably mounted inside the buckle plate, and a rotating shaft mounted at an end of the rotating bracket.

The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems also comprises the following steps: there is provided a food processing device comprising a housing body assembly and a bowl assembly cooperating with each other, and at least one latching mechanism as described above mounted on the housing body assembly for latching the bowl assembly to the housing body assembly from the top.

In some embodiments, the housing body assembly is provided with at least one mounting arm protruding upwards, and the locking mechanism is arranged outside the corresponding mounting arm.

In some embodiments, the housing body assembly is provided with two mounting arms protruding upwards, and each mounting arm is correspondingly provided with one of the locking mechanisms.

Compared with the prior art, the protection part is skillfully added on the buckle plate, so that the upward force applied to the top of the buckle hole is ensured to be within a set range, and the situation that the whole food processing device is started up due to overlarge force application can be effectively avoided when the locking mechanism is unlocked, so that the safety is high, and the user experience is better.

Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the present invention proposes a latch mechanism 3 of a food processing device, comprising: a buckle plate 31, a rotary bracket 32 rotatably installed at the inner side of the buckle plate 31, and a rotary shaft 33 installed at the end of the rotary bracket 32. The latch mechanism 3 may be mounted to the housing of the food processing device by the rotation shaft 33.

The buckle plate 31 includes: a main body 311, a buckle 312 provided at a top end of the main body 311 and extending in an inward direction, a buckle hole 313 provided at a bottom of the main body 311, a sloping plate 314 provided at an upper portion of the buckle hole 313, and two support plates 315 respectively connecting the main body 311 and the sloping plate at both sides. Wherein the sloping plate 314 extends from top to bottom and from outside to inside. It will be appreciated that the sloping plate 314 and the two support plates 315 together form a guard 316 of the buckle plate 31. The guard 316 prevents the user from applying excessive upward force at the top of the button hole 313 of the button plate 31: once the finger of the user is applied to the inclined plate 314 above the button hole 313, the finger tip is inevitably slid outward and upward along the inclined plate 314. That is, by adding the guard 316, the upward force applied to the top of the fastening hole 313 of the fastening plate 31 can be ensured within a set range, so that the situation that the whole machine is lifted up due to excessive force can be effectively avoided when the locking mechanism 3 is unlocked.

Referring to fig. 5 to 8, the present invention proposes a food processing device 10 having a latch mechanism 3. The food processing device 10 includes a housing body assembly 1 and a bowl assembly 2 that cooperate with each other. Wherein, the housing big assembly 1 is provided with two mounting arms 11 protruding upwards, and the outer side of each mounting arm 11 is provided with the locking mechanism 3. The latch mechanism 3 can be mounted to the corresponding mounting arm 11 by its rotation shaft 33.

In this embodiment, the process of releasing the bowl assembly 2 by the two latching mechanisms 3 generally comprises: referring to fig. 5 and 6, when the latch mechanism 3 is in the latched state, the clasp head 312 presses against the bowl assembly 2 from the top so that the entire bowl assembly 2 is securely locked to the housing body assembly 1; at this time, the user can lightly pull the buckling hole 313 of the buckling mechanism 3 outwards with a finger to switch the buckling plate 31 to be in an unstressed state; the lower end of the clasp plate 3 can then be lifted slightly by hand to move the clasp head 312 away from the bowl assembly 2, see fig. 7 and 8, and the action is completed, with the clasp mechanism 3 no longer restraining the bowl assembly 2, and the user can easily remove the bowl assembly 2 from the housing body assembly 1.

Compared with the prior art, the protection part 316 is skillfully added on the buckle plate 31, so that the upward force applied to the top of the buckle hole 313 is ensured to be within a set range, and the situation that the whole food processing device 10 is lifted up due to overlarge force application can be effectively avoided when the locking mechanism 3 is unlocked, so that the safety is high and the user experience is better.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the housing body assembly 1 includes two mounting arms 11 protruding upward, and the bowl assembly 2 is accommodated between the two mounting arms 11; the outside of each mounting arm 11 is provided with one of the aforementioned catch mechanisms 3. In other embodiments, the housing body assembly 1 may only protrude upward by a mounting arm 11, and the bowl assembly 2 is accommodated beside the mounting arm 11; the outside of the mounting arm 11 is provided with a locking mechanism 3 as described above. In other embodiments, the housing body assembly 1 may protrude upwardly with three mounting arms 11, the bowl assembly 2 being received between the three mounting arms 11; the outside of each mounting arm 11 is provided with one of the aforementioned catch mechanisms 3.

It should be understood that the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention, and not limiting thereof, and that modifications and equivalents of some of the technical features described in the foregoing embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art; such modifications and substitutions are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
