The food processor 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a main body 11 and a cup assembly 12, wherein the cup assembly 12 is detachably assembled to the main body 11, and the two are separated from each other if necessary, but the assembly manner of the two is not limited thereto. The food processor 10 includes, but is not limited to, a blender, a wall breaking machine, a juice extractor, etc.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the food processor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and fig. 3 shows an exploded view of a part of the structure of the food processor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Cup subassembly 12 includes cup 120 and bowl cover subassembly 122, and cup 120 is including the holding chamber 120a that is used for holding the edible material, and bowl cover subassembly 122 lid fits cup 120, can prevent that the edible material in the holding chamber 120a from overflowing. The lid assembly 122 and cup 120 may be removably assembled or may be hingedly assembled, with the former being preferred in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an exploded view of a lid assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The cap assembly 122 includes a cap 1220, and the cap 1220 is a main structure of the cap assembly 122, which may be configured as a cylindrical structure, with an opening 12200 at one end. When the cup body 120 is mounted, the opening 12200 faces downward and is fastened to the mouth of the cup body 120. The "cylindrical structure" mentioned here is not limited to the circular cylinder shown in fig. 4, but may be a rectangular cylinder, a square cylinder, or any other shape.

The cup cover 1220 with a cylindrical structure can enable the interior of the cup cover to have a containing space, and the containing space can be communicated with the containing cavity 120a to increase the capacity of the food processor 10 for containing food materials.

Further, the cup lid 1220 is made of a metal material and is configured as a metal cup lid. On one hand, the metal cup cover can meet the high-level requirements of consumers, is more fashionable and attractive in appearance and is durable in use. On the other hand, the metal cup cover is more convenient to clean, can regularly heat and disinfect, can not cause the food material siltation and rot and deteriorate, influence health.

Cup lid 1220 may be formed by a variety of methods including, but not limited to, drawing by cold working and casting by hot working. In this embodiment, the cup lid 1220 is formed by drawing a SUS30 stainless steel plate. Further, a coating layer or a plating layer can be arranged on the cup cover 1220 in a spraying or electroplating manner, so that the appearance quality of the cup cover 1220 is further improved. It should be noted that the cup cover 1220 is not limited to be made of SUS30 stainless steel material, but may be made of other metal materials.

Lid assembly 122 also includes a vent cover 1222, vent cover 1222 movably disposed on lid 1220. Specifically, the top of the cup cover 1220 is provided with a through hole 12202, and the exhaust cover 1222 covers the through hole 12202 and can be opened when needed. The venting cap 1222 allows the lid 1220 to add food material to the receiving cavity 120a and release pressure from the receiving cavity 120a without departing from the cup 120. Alternatively, the vent cap 1222 may be removably attached to the cap 1220 or may be hingedly attached to the cap 1220.

Understandably, the food material overflowing from the through hole 12202 is easy to occur, and if the food material overflowing is not controlled, the overflowing food material will flow down along the cup cover 1220, so that the user experience is poor. Based on this, the cup lid 1220 still includes anti-overflow mechanism 12204, and anti-overflow mechanism 12204 can collect the edible material that overflows from through-hole 12202, avoids flowing outside the cup lid 1220.

In one embodiment, the anti-overflow mechanism 12204 includes a recessed portion disposed at the top of the cup lid 1220, and the through hole 12202 is opened in the recessed portion. When the food material overflows from the through hole 12202, the food material can be collected in the concave part, and the food material is prevented from overflowing out of the cup cover 1220. The specific configuration of the spill-preventing mechanism 12204 is not limited in this regard, and in other embodiments, for example, a spill-preventing channel may be provided in the cup lid 1220, into which food material is collected as it expands above the spill-preventing channel overflow.

The venting cover 1222 can be made of plastic material to be easily removed by a user during the heating process of the food processor 10 to avoid scalding. The degassing cover 1222 may include a hand-held portion 12220 for easy access by a user and a plug 12222 for plugging the through-hole 12202. The plug 12222 may be coated on the outside with a deformable layer, such as a silicone layer. Through the silica gel layer, interference fit can be adopted with end cap 12222 and through-hole 12202 to increase the leakproofness of through-hole 12202 department. Moreover, the silica gel layer can also improve the tightness of the connection between the air-out cover 1222 and the cup cover 1220 when assembling, so that the air-out cover 1222 and the cup cover 1220 cannot be easily separated from each other under the action of the air pressure in the accommodating cavity 120 a.

The handle 12220 may be raised above the top surface of the cap 1220 to prevent a user from being burned when the user takes the lid 1222, thereby improving the safety of operation.

In the punching or casting process, sharp corners or burrs are easily formed at the through hole 12202, and when the phenomenon exists, the sharp corners or the burrs scratch the deformable layer of the plug 12222 and cause the deformable layer to break in the process of repeatedly assembling and disassembling the exhaust cover 1222 and the cup cover 1220; on the other hand, the user can scratch the arm when cleaning the cup lid 1220, and both of the above phenomena can reduce the quality of the food processor 10. Therefore, considering the above-mentioned factors, the upper and lower edges of the through-hole 12202 may be set to be rounded, and the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems may be reduced by setting the rounded corners to alleviate sharp corners or burrs.
