Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples, such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize applications of other processes and/or uses of other materials.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention discloses a food processor 300, wherein the food processor 300 may be a machine with blades, such as a wall breaking machine, a juice extractor, a soymilk maker, a grinder, a meat chopper, a shredder, and a slicer. The food processor 300 of fig. 1 is a wall breaking machine, which is only one form of the food processor 300 and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Referring to fig. 2, the food processor 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base 100 and a mixing cup 200. The base 100 is used to support the blender cup 200. Alternatively, the blender cup 200 is disposed on the base 100. In the present embodiment, the mixing cup 200 is detachably provided on the base 100. The blender cup 200 is used to hold food. For example, the blender cup 200 may be used to hold food such as vegetables, beans, or meat.

In this embodiment, the height ratio of the base 100 to the stirring cup 200 is 1/2 or less. That is, the ratio H1/H2 of the height H1 of the base 100 to the height H2 of the blender cup 200 is less than or equal to 1/2. Preferably, the height ratio of the base 100 to the blender cup 200 is 1/5-1/2, for example, H1/H2 is 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, etc.

In this manner, the base 100 is smaller in height relative to the blender cup 200, such that the overall size of the food processor 300 is smaller, facilitating storage of the food processor 300.

In the related art, the height ratio of the base of the food processor to the stirring cup is approximately 1, that is, the height of the base is almost equal to that of the stirring cup, so that the food processor has a large overall volume and is not easy to store, and the user experience is reduced.

It should be noted that the height H1 of the chassis 100 is the largest dimension in the height direction of the chassis 100. Alternatively, the height H1 of the chassis 100 is the distance between the lowest point and the highest point of the chassis 100 in the height direction. The height H2 of the mixing cup 200 is the largest dimension in the height direction of the mixing cup 200. Alternatively, the height H2 of the mixing cup 200 is the distance between the lowest point and the highest point of the mixing cup 200 in the height direction.

In the present embodiment, the cross section of the base 100 has a rounded rectangular shape. It is noted that in other embodiments, the cross-section of the base 100 may be oval, circular, polygonal, irregular, etc.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in particular, the base 100 includes a housing 10 and a motor 20. The motor 20 is disposed within the housing 10. The power of the motor 20 is less than 1500W. Further, the power of the motor 20 is 100-1500W. For example, the motor 20 has a power of 100W, 200W, 300W, 500W, 800W, 1000W, 1500W, or the like.

Preferably, the power of the motor 20 is 500-. The height ratio of the housing 10 to the motor 20 is less than or equal to 2. Alternatively, the ratio H3/H4 of the height H3 of the housing 10 to the height H4 of the motor 20 is less than or equal to 2. Preferably, the height ratio H3/H4 of the housing 10 to the motor 20 is 1.1-2, e.g., H3/H4 is 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 2, etc.

Note that the height H3 of the housing 10 is the largest dimension of the housing 10 in the height direction. That is, the height H3 of the housing 10 is the distance between the lowest point and the highest point of the housing 10 in the height direction. Since the motor 20 is disposed in the housing 10, in the present embodiment, the height H3 of the housing 10 is equal to the height H1 of the base 100, i.e., H3 is equal to H1.

In this way, the height ratio of the housing 10 to the motor 20 is less than or equal to 2, so that the structure of the base 100 is more compact, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the base 100, making the base 100 thinner, and being beneficial to storing the base 100 and the food processor 300.

It can be understood that the H3/H4 is 1.1-1.2, which means that the height of the housing 10 is almost equal to the height of the motor 20, so that the matching structure of the housing 10 and the motor 20 is more compact.

In addition, the power of the motor 20 is less than 1500W, so that the power of the motor 20 can meet the requirements of stirring and cutting food. Preferably, the motor 20 may be a brushless dc motor. In this embodiment, the operation of the motor 20 with different powers can be controlled according to the requirement, that is, the power of the motor 20 can be adjusted. For example, when the food processor 300 is processing a softer durometer substance, the motor 20 may be controlled to operate at a lower power; when the food processor 300 processes a hard substance, the motor 20 may be controlled to operate at a high power.

Referring to fig. 3-5, in the present embodiment, the housing 10 may be made of plastic and/or metal. Specifically, the housing 10 includes a bottom cover 11, a surrounding wall 12, and an upper cover 13, and the surrounding wall 12 is disposed on the bottom cover 11 and surrounds the motor 20. The upper cover 13 covers the end of the surrounding wall 12 far from the bottom cover 11. In this manner, the housing 10 is formed by assembling a plurality of elements, which facilitates the manufacture of the housing 10.

The bottom cover 11 may be made of plastic. The enclosure wall 12 is substantially cylindrical. The enclosure walls 12 may be made of a metal material, for example, the material of the enclosure walls 12 is an aluminum alloy, which can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the enclosure walls 12. The upper cover 13 is covered on the surrounding wall 12. As such, the upper lid 13 may be used to support the blender cup 200.

In this embodiment, the upper lid 13 is formed with a sink 131, and the bottom of the stirring cup 200 is positioned in the sink 131. In this manner, the provision of the sink 131 allows the mixing cup 200 to be more stably supported on the upper cover 13. In the present embodiment, the cross section of the sink 131 is non-circular. For example, the cross section of the sink 131 may be in the shape of a rounded rectangle, trapezoid, or the like.

The sink 131 is provided therein with a coupler 30, and the coupler 30 is used to transmit power to the mixing cup 200. The upper cover 13 is formed with a water discharge hole 132 communicating with the sinking groove 131, and the water discharge hole 132 communicates with the outside of the base 100. Thus, when liquid is present in the base 100, the liquid can drain out of the base 100 through the drain holes 132.

Further, the motor 20 is suspended and fixed to the upper cover 13. A gap is formed between the motor 20 and the bottom cover 11. That is, the motor 20 does not contact the bottom cover 11. In this manner, the upper cover 13 may reduce vibration of the motor 20, so that noise generated from the food processor 300 may be reduced.

In addition, the motor 20 is hung on the upper cover 13, and the output shaft 21 of the motor 20 can be shortened, so that the height of the motor 20 is reduced, and the height of the base 100 is reduced.

In the present embodiment, the output shaft 21 of the motor 20 extends into the sinking groove 131, the first clutch 40 is fixed to the output shaft 21 of the motor 20, and the first clutch 40 is located in the sinking groove 131. This allows the motor 20 to drive the mixing cup 200 to operate through the first clutch 40.

In the present embodiment, the height H5 between the top surface of the first clutch 40 and the bottom surface of the base 100 is not more than 120 mm. For example, the height H5 between the top surface of the first clutch 40 and the bottom surface of the base 100 is 120mm, 110mm, 105mm, 100mm, etc.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the power of the motor 20 is less than 1500W, and the radius R of the motor 20 is less than or equal to 50 mm. Preferably, the radius R of the motor 20 is 40-50 mm. For example, the radius R of the motor 20 is 40mm, 42mm, 45mm, 50mm, or the like.

The motor 20 of the embodiment is customized according to the requirement of the miniaturization of the base 100, and the transverse size of the motor 20 is smaller while the power requirement is met, so that the size of the base 100 is smaller, and the miniaturization of the base 100 is facilitated.

It should be noted that the radius of the motor 20 refers to the radius of the smallest circle that envelopes the transverse dimension of the core of the motor 20.

Further, the height H4 of the motor 20 is less than or equal to 60 mm. Preferably, the height H4 of the motor 20 is 40-60 mm. For example, the height H4 of the motor 20 is 40mm, 42mm, 45mm, 60mm, etc. In a general motor, the height of the motor with power of 500-1500W is generally larger than 70 mm. Therefore, the motor 20 of the present embodiment can meet the requirement of miniaturization of the base 100, so that the base 100 is more light and thin.

As described above, the height ratio H3/H4 of the housing 10 to the motor 20 is less than or equal to 2. Therefore, it can be understood that when the height H4 of the motor 20 is 50mm, the height of the housing 10 is less than or equal to 100 mm. That is, in the present embodiment, the height H3 of the housing 10 is 100mm or less.

It should be noted that, referring to fig. 5, the motor 20 includes a first bearing seat 25 and a second bearing seat 26 spaced apart from the first bearing seat 25, the first bearing seat 25 is provided with a first bearing 27, the second bearing seat 26 is provided with a second bearing 28, and the output shaft 21 of the motor 20 passes through the first bearing 27 and the second bearing 28. The height H4 of the motor 20 is the dimension between the outer end face of the first bearing seat 25 and the outer end face of the second bearing seat 26.

In the present embodiment, the power of the motor 20 is less than 1500W, and the power density of the motor 20 is greater than or equal to 0.8 KW/kg. Preferably, the power density of the motor 20 is 0.8-1.2 KW/kg. For example, the motor 20 has a power density of 0.8KW/kg, 0.9KW/kg, 1KW/kg, 1.1KW/kg, 1.2KW/kg, etc.

Power density refers to the ratio of the mass of the motor 20 to the output power of the motor 20. Generally, in order to meet the power requirement of the motor, the larger the power of the motor is, the more materials are needed for manufacturing the motor, so that the larger the volume of the motor is, the larger the heat generation amount of the motor is.

In the present embodiment, the power density of the motor 20 is greater than or equal to 0.8KW/kg, so that the heat generation amount of the motor 20 is small, and the temperature rise requirement is satisfied. When the power density of the motor 20 is in the above range, the heat sink such as a fan may be omitted from the base 100. That is, one end of the motor 20 does not need to be mounted to the heat dissipation fan, so that the height of the base 100 can be reduced, which is advantageous for miniaturization of the base 100.

Further, the temperature rise range of the motor 20 is less than or equal to 120K. The temperature rise refers to the difference between the temperature of the motor 20 and the ambient air. When the temperature rise of the motor 20 is within the above range, it indicates that the difference between the air temperature in the base 100 and the temperature of the motor 20 is small, and it is not necessary to install a heat dissipation device in the housing 10, and it is also possible to ensure that the temperature of the housing 10 does not scald a user.

In the present embodiment, the ratio of the torque of the motor 20 at a low rotation speed to the torque of the motor 20 at a high rotation speed is greater than or equal to 0.7. Preferably, the ratio of the torque of the motor 20 at low rotational speeds to the torque of the motor 20 at high rotational speeds is 0.7-0.9. For example, the ratio of the torque of the motor 20 at low rotational speeds to the torque of the motor 20 at high rotational speeds is 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, etc.

Wherein the low rotating speed is less than 200 r/min. For example, the low rotation speed is 80r/min, 90r/min, 100r/min, 120r/min, 150r/min, 180r/min, etc.

The high rotation speed is more than 3000r/min, for example, the high rotation speed is 3100r/min, 3500r/min, 4000r/min, 4500r/min, 5000r/min, 6500r/min and the like.

The torque of the motor 20 at low rotational speeds is greater than or equal to 2.8 n.m. Preferably, the torque range of the motor 20 at low rotational speeds is 2.8-3.2 N.m. For example, the torque of the motor 20 at a low rotation speed is a specific value such as 2.8n.m, 2.9n.m, 3.0n.m, 3.1n.m, 3.2n.m, and the like.

Generally, in an alternating current motor, the torque of the alternating current motor increases with an increase in the rotation speed, that is, the torque of the alternating current motor is smaller at a low rotation speed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the motor 20 may be a dc brushless motor, and in addition, through a specific design, the motor 20 can still operate with a large torque no matter the motor 20 is at a low rotation speed or a high rotation speed, so that the motor 20 can have a good stirring effect on food at a low rotation speed.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, specifically, the motor 20 includes a stator 22, a rotor 23, and a bracket 24. The stator 22 surrounds the rotor 23. The stator 22 is fixed inside the bracket 24 and is fixedly connected with the bracket 24. The rotor 23 includes an output shaft 21, the output shaft 21 extending out of a bracket 24.

The bracket 24 is formed with a plurality of lugs 241, and the motor 20 is suspended and fixed to the upper cover 13 through the lugs 241. In the present embodiment, the number of the support lugs 241 is four. In other embodiments, the number of lugs 241 may be two, three, five, etc. greater than one.

In order to increase the heat dissipation speed of the stator 22 and the rotor 23, it is preferable that the bracket 24 is formed with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 242. It is understood that heat generated from the stator 22 and the rotor 23 may be dissipated to the outside of the motor 20 through the heat dissipation holes 242.

Referring to fig. 5 again, in the present embodiment, the base 100 further includes a circuit board 50, the circuit board 50 is accommodated in the housing and located at one side of the motor 20, and the circuit board 50 is horizontally disposed. Thus, the circuit board 50 is horizontally disposed such that the height of the housing 10 is low, thereby making it possible to reduce the height of the base 100.

The circuit board 50 may be used to control the operation of the motor 20. For example, the circuit board 50 may be used to control the input voltage and/or input current of the motor 20 to control the rotational speed of the motor 20.

In this embodiment, the base 100 further includes a display device 60, the display device 60 is accommodated in the housing 10, and the display device 60 is used for displaying the operating state of the food processor 300. For example, the display device 60 may display the power of the motor 20. The display device 60 comprises a display element 61, the display element 61 being for example a display lamp and/or a display screen.

Referring to fig. 5 and 8, the blender cup 200 includes a food cup 210 and a blender assembly 220. The blending assembly 220 is disposed on the food cup 210. Specifically, the food cup 210 is formed with a receiving space 211. The receiving space 211 receives food. Food cup 210 includes a cup 212 and a lid 213 that mates with cup 212. The cup 212 is formed with a receiving space 211 and has a cup opening 214 communicating with the receiving space 211, and the lid 213 can be placed on the cup 212 to close the cup opening 214.

Cup 212 includes a bottom wall 215 and a side wall 216, with side wall 216 connecting bottom wall 215 and extending upwardly from bottom wall 215. The bottom wall 215 may be made of a metal material so that the food cup 210 may be heated through the bottom wall 215. The side wall 216 may be made of a transparent material such as glass to allow a user to view the inside of the cup 212. The side wall 216 may be provided with a scale for measuring the volume of the cup 212.

The stirring assembly 220 includes a cutter shaft 221 and a stirring blade 222 fixed to the cutter shaft 221. The stirring blade 222 is located in the accommodating space 211, and a second clutch 230 is fixed at one end of the blade shaft 221 away from the stirring blade 222. The second clutch 230 is located outside the receiving space 211. The first clutch 40 is engaged with the second clutch 230 so that the motor 20 drives the stirring blade 222 to rotate.

In this way, when the motor 20 is operated, the motor 20 can drive the knife shaft 221 to rotate by engaging the first clutch 40 and the second clutch 230, so as to drive the stirring knife 222 to rotate to cut the food in the stirring accommodating space 211.

It should be noted that the knife shaft 221 may be an integrally formed structure, or may be formed by fixing a plurality of separately formed elements together. In the present embodiment, the stirring blade 222 is detachably connected to the blade shaft 221.

In this embodiment, the mixing cup 200 further includes a heating device 240 fixed on the food cup 210 and located outside the receiving space 211. The heating device 240 serves to heat the food cup 210. In this manner, the heating device 240 heats the food in the food cup 210 by heating the food. Further, the heating device 240 is fixed to the bottom wall 215. The heating device 240 is, for example, an electromagnetic heating device. It can be understood that when the electromagnetic heating device is operated, the electromagnetic heating device can generate an alternating magnetic field, so that the bottom wall 215 can form an eddy current, so that the bottom wall 215 can rapidly generate heat to heat the food in the accommodating space 211.
