The main body 20 is used for providing power and heat for the cup body 10 to cooperate with the cup body 10 to cook the cooking material.

Fig. 3 and 4 are a sectional view and a three-dimensional structure schematic view of the cup body 10 in the food processor shown in fig. 1, respectively. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the cup body 10 includes: a container housing 11, a container 12, a knife block 13 and a transmission assembly 14.

The container housing 11 is detachably provided on the top of the base 21. The container case 11 includes: a housing body 111, a first hollow post 112, and an outer cover 113.

The bottom of the housing body 111 is provided with a catch 111a, and the catch 111a is used to cooperate with a latch assembly 22, hereinafter, so that the housing body 111 is detachably disposed on the top of the base 21. The housing main body 111 forms a first cavity 111b whose top end is open.

The first hollow pillar 112 protrudes downward from the bottom of the housing main body 111, and is integrally formed with the housing main body 111.

The outer lid 113 includes: an outer cap body 1131 and a second hollow post 1132. The cover body 1131 detachably covers the top end of the housing body 111. The outer cover body 1131 may snap into connection with the housing body 111. The second hollow protrusion 1132 protrudes downward from the central region of the outer cap body 1131, and is integrally formed with the outer cap body 1131. Second hollow column 1132 is coaxial with first hollow column 112.

The container 12 is used for holding the cooking materials. The container 12 includes: a container body 121, a third hollow column 122, and an inner lid 123.

The container body 121 is accommodated in the first cavity 111b of the housing body 111. The container body 121 forms a second cavity 121a with an open top end to contain the cooking material. The user can load or unload the food material through the opening of the container body 121, and can also clean the inner wall of the container body 121 through the opening. Grinding teeth 121b are provided on the bottom surface of the container body 121 in a protruding manner. The grinding teeth 121b are used for cooperating with the knife group 13 to grind the cooking material.

The third hollow column 122 protrudes downward from the bottom of the container body 121 and is integrally formed with the container body 121. The third hollow post 122 is coaxially disposed within the first hollow post 112 and is rotatably coupled to the first hollow post 112 via the transmission assembly 14. The third hollow column 122 is coaxial with the axis of the container body 121 for being forced to rotate the container body 121. The bottom of the container body 121 is provided with a through hole which communicates the second cavity 121a with the space in the first hollow column 112. The through hole is used for installing the rotating shaft 141 in the transmission assembly 14.

The inner lid 123 detachably covers the opening of the container body 121. The inner lid 123 is fitted into an opening formed at the top end of the container body 121, and is fixed to the container body 121 by friction so as not to rotate relative to the container body 121. The inner cover 123 is rotatably engaged with the outer cover 113 by the transmission assembly 14. The inner lid 123 is connected to the outer lid 113, and when the outer lid 113 is removed from the housing body 111, the inner lid 123 is also removed from the container body 121 simultaneously. Similarly, when the outer lid 113 is placed on the outer case body 111, the inner lid 123 is placed on the container body 121 in synchronization therewith.

The container 12 is surrounded by the container housing 11 and is rotatably connected to the container housing 11 by a transmission assembly 14 so that the container 12 can rotate about its own axis. The container 12 is isolated from the outside by the container shell 11, so that accidental injury accidents caused in the rotating process of the container 12 are avoided. Since the container housing 11 is detachably provided to the base 21 and the container 12 is rotatably coupled to the container housing 11, the container 12 is indirectly detachably coupled to the base 21. After cooking is complete, the container housing 11, along with the container 12, can be removed from the base 21 to facilitate pouring of the slurry or cleaning of the container 12.

The knife group 13 is disposed in the second cavity 121a of the container body 121 and disposed on the transmission assembly 14, and under the driving of the transmission assembly 14, the food can be pulverized. The cutter group 13 includes: a cutting blade 131 and a grinding blade 132. The cutting blade 131 is used for cutting the cooking material. The grinding cutter 132 is used to grind the cut food material in cooperation with the grinding teeth 121b.

The transmission assembly 14 includes: a rotating shaft 141, two first one-way bearings 142, a first two-way bearing 143, a first connector 144, a second one-way bearing 145, a second two-way bearing 146, and a hollow shaft 147.

The rotating shaft 141 is coaxially disposed in the first hollow column 112 and penetrates through a through hole at the bottom of the container body 121. The top end of the rotating shaft 141 is inserted into the container body 121 and connected to the knife group 13. The cutting tool 131 and the grinding tool 132 are both disposed on the rotating shaft 141 and are driven by the rotating shaft 141 to rotate. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 141 is fixedly connected with a first connector 144.

The inner rings of the two first one-way bearings 142 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 141, and the outer rings are fixedly embedded in the third hollow column 122. The first one-way bearing 142, and hereinafter the second one-way bearing 145, may be rotationally coupled in one direction and locked in the opposite direction.

The inner ring of the first bidirectional bearing 143 is fixedly sleeved on the third hollow column 122, and the outer ring is fixedly embedded in the first hollow column 112. The first bi-directional bearing 143 and the following second bi-directional bearing 146 can be rotationally coupled in both forward and reverse directions.

The hollow shaft 147 is fixedly disposed at the center of the inner cover 123, coaxially disposed in the second hollow cylinder 1132, and coaxially disposed with the rotation shaft 141. The hollow shaft 147 communicates the second cavity 121a of the container 12 with the outside environment so that the hot air inside the container 12 can escape through the hollow shaft 147.

The inner ring of the second one-way bearing 145 is fixedly sleeved on the hollow shaft 147, and the outer ring is fixedly embedded in the second hollow column 1132.

The inner ring of the second bidirectional bearing 146 is fixedly sleeved on the hollow shaft 147, and the outer ring is fixedly embedded in the second hollow column 1132.

When the rotating shaft 141 rotates, one of the first one-way bearing 142 and the second one-way bearing 145 is in a rotation connection state, and the other is in a locking state. For the convenience of distinguishing the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 141, the following definitions are made: when the rotating shaft 141 rotates forward, the first one-way bearing 142 is in a rotation connection state, and the second one-way bearing 145 is in a locking state; when the rotating shaft 141 rotates reversely, the first one-way bearing 142 is in a locked state, and the second one-way bearing 145 is in a rotation connection state. The positive and negative rotation merely means that the rotation shaft 141 rotates in two opposite directions.

When the rotating shaft 141 rotates forwards, the second one-way bearing 145 is in a locked state, the container 12 and the container shell 11 are relatively fixed, the first one-way bearing 142 is in a rotating connection state, the rotating shaft 141 only drives the cutter set 13 to rotate, the food processor performs crushing operation, and the food material is processed to obtain slurry; when the rotating shaft 141 rotates reversely, the second one-way bearing 145 is in a rotation connection state, the container 12 can rotate relative to the container shell 11, the first one-way bearing 142 is in a locking state, the rotating shaft 141 drives the knife set 13 and the container 12 to rotate at the same time, and the food processor performs centrifugal operation on the slurry. By controlling the rotation shaft 141 to rotate forward and backward, the food processor can selectively perform crushing operation or centrifugal operation.

When the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 141 reaches a predetermined rotating speed, the slurry in the container 12 moves towards the inner wall of the container 12 under the action of centrifugal force and contacts with the inner wall of the container 12, the slag in the slurry (i.e. solid particles such as food residues in the slurry) adheres to the inner wall of the container 12, and the slurry (i.e. liquid with high fluidity in the slurry) flows back to the bottom of the container 12, so that the separation of the slurry and the slag is realized. The slurry does not need to be filtered after being poured out. The predetermined rotation speed may be 500 rpm to 5000 rpm. The numerical value of the preset rotating speed can be set according to the type of the cooking materials.

The gear 242 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 214 and engaged with the transmission member 243.

The first motor 241 is disposed on the mounting base 214. The driving shaft of the first motor 241 is connected to the gear 242 to rotate the gear 242. The first motor 241 is capable of rotating forward and backward, so as to drive the transmission member 243 to rotate forward and backward around the axis L1.

The first driving assembly 24 is used for driving the heating assembly 23 to move, and is described in detail in the following section of the heating assembly 23.

The second driving assembly 25 is disposed on the base 21. Specifically, the second driving assembly 25 is disposed on the mounting seat 214, and is partially received in a fourth cavity formed by the bottom housing 213 and the main housing 212. The second driving assembly 25 is located below the container 12 and detachably connected to the transmission assembly 14 for driving the container 12 and/or the knife assembly 13 to rotate. The second drive assembly 25 includes: a second motor 251 and a second connector 252. The second motor 251 is disposed on the mounting base 214. The second connector 252 is fixed to an output shaft of the second motor 251. In this embodiment, the output shaft of the second motor 251 is coaxial with the axis of the container 12. When the cup 10 (container shell 11) is detachably connected to the base 21, the first connector 144 and the second connector 252 are in a plug-in fit to form a coupling, and the rotating shaft 141 and the output shaft of the second motor 251 are connected, so that the second motor 251 can drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate. The second motor 251 can rotate forward and backward, so as to drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate forward and backward.

The heating assembly 23 is disposed on the base 21. Specifically, the heating element 23 is accommodated in the cavity 26, movably connected to the base 21, and capable of moving up and down relative to the base 21.

The second guide portion 235 is slidably engaged with the first guide portion 215 in the direction in which the heating assembly 23 moves. Specifically, the first guide portion 215 and the second guide portion 235 are respectively disposed on a pair of opposite surfaces of the base 21 and the heating element 23, the first guide portion 215 is a column extending in the moving direction of the heating element 23, and the second guide portion 235 is a groove extending in the moving direction of the heating element 23. In this embodiment, the first guiding portion 215 is disposed on the cavity wall of the cavity 26 of the base 21. The second guide 235 is disposed at an outer edge of the heating element 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the first guiding portion 215 and the second guiding portion 235 can be interchanged, that is, the first guiding portion 215 is disposed on the heating assembly 23, and the second guiding portion 235 is disposed on the base 21.

The heating assembly 23 is disposed below the container 12 and above the first driving assembly 24, and can approach or move away from the container 12 by the driving of the first driving assembly 24. Specifically, the heating assembly 23 abuts against the first surface 2431 to form a transmission matching structure, and the rotational motion of the transmission member 243 can be converted into the linear motion of the heating assembly 23 along the axis L1. The first motor 241 rotates forward and backward to drive the heating assembly 23 to move forward and backward along the axis L1. The heating unit 23 is movable in the vertical direction with respect to the base 21 by the first driving unit 24. In this embodiment, the heating assembly 23 takes a linear moving path, so that the heating assembly 23 can more quickly approach or separate from the container 12. In other embodiments, the moving path of the heating assembly 23 may be an arc, a spiral or other shapes according to actual needs.

In addition, the second driving assembly 25 is located below the heating assembly 23.

The heat transfer body 2311 is thermally conductive and is made of a thermally conductive material, such as an aluminum alloy, that can be brought into proximity with and contact with the container 12 or away from the container 12. The first drive assembly 24 is capable of driving (indirectly driving) the heat transfer body 2311 to move. In this embodiment, the heat transfer body 2311 is annular. One side surface of the heat transfer body 2311 is matched with the container 12 to increase a contact area when contacting the container 12. The heat generating member 2312 is thermally coupled to the heat transfer body 2311 and can generate heat when energized. Specifically, the heat generating member 2312 may be a heat generating tube inserted in the heat transferring body 2311. The heating tube is optional in the prior art. The heat generating members 2312 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of heat generating members 2312 are uniformly distributed on the heat transfer body 2311 around the axis of the heat transfer body 2311 to make the temperature on the heat transfer body 2311 uniform. Of course, the heat generating member 2312 may be one and annular, and may be disposed around the axis of the heat transfer body 2311.

The supporting member 232 is movably connected to the base 21 and can move up and down relative to the base 21. The first drive assembly 24 is capable of driving the support 232 toward or away from the container 12. The support 232 is slidably engaged with the heat generating unit 231 in a direction approaching or separating from the container 12.

Opposite ends of the elastic member 233 are elastically coupled to the heat generating unit 231 and the supporting member 232, respectively. Specifically, the opposite ends of the elastic member 233 elastically abut against/connect to the heat generating unit 231 and the supporting member 232, respectively. The elastic member 233 may be a spring.

The nut 234 is screwed to the heat generating unit 231 and is configured to abut against the support 232.

Under the driving of the first driving assembly 24, the supporting member 232 moves towards the container 12, and the supporting member 232 drives the heating unit 231 to move towards the container 12 through the elastic member 233. When the heating unit 231 contacts the container 12 and stops moving, the supporting member 232 still slightly moves toward the container 12, so that the elastic member 233 is deformed, and the elastic force toward the container 12 is applied to the heating unit 231, thereby making the heating unit 231 tightly contact the container 12. Even if the container 12 is slightly displaced in some cases, the heating unit 231 is always kept in close contact with the container 12, and the container 12 is stably heated.

In other embodiments, the heating element 23 may not itself generate heat. For example, the heating assembly 23 can emit microwaves to heat the cooking material. Microwave heating is prior art and will not be described here.

Through the structural design, the heating component 23 can elastically abut against the container 12 when contacting the container 12, so that the heating component 23 is better attached to the container 12, and the heat transfer efficiency is improved.

In other embodiments, to better conform the heating assembly 23 to the container 12, the processor may further include a thermally conductive resilient pad (not shown). The heat conductive elastic pad is disposed on the heating assembly 23 or the container 12, and can fill the gap between the heating assembly 23 and the container 12 when the two are in contact. The heat-conducting elastic cushion has elasticity and heat conductivity. The heat-conducting elastic pad can be a heat-conducting silica gel sheet. The heat-conducting silica gel sheet is a heat-conducting medium material synthesized by taking silica gel as a base material and adding various auxiliary materials such as metal oxides and the like through a special process, and can be selected from the prior art.

A heating assembly 23 is positioned below the container 12 when in proximity to and in contact with the container 12 for heating the bottom of the container 12. The cooking material in the container 12 is collected at the bottom of the container 12 under the action of gravity. The heating assembly 23 heats the bottom of the container 12 and can more quickly transfer heat to the cooking material. In other embodiments, the heating assembly 23 may be configured to heat the sidewall of the container 12, or both the sidewall of the container 12 and the bottom of the container 12, depending on the actual requirements.

To avoid the heating assembly 23 from affecting the rotation of the container 12, since the container 12 is able to rotate about its own axis, the first drive assembly 24 is adapted to drive the heating assembly 23 away from the container 12 before the container 12 is rotated, and to drive the heating assembly 23 towards and into contact with the container 12 during at least part of the time that the container 12 stops rotating.

With an application scene of cooking machine, introduce cooking machine's use:

the cooking material is placed into the container 12 and the first driving assembly 24 is controlled to operate so as to drive the heating assembly 23 to approach and contact the container 12.

The heating assembly 23 is controlled to generate heat to heat the container 12.

After heating for a predetermined time, the heating unit 23 is controlled to stop generating heat, and the first driving unit 24 is controlled to operate to drive the heating unit 23 away from the container 12.

The second driving assembly 25 is controlled to operate to drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate forward, so as to drive the knife assembly 13 to rotate relative to the container 12, and the food processor performs a grinding operation.

The second driving assembly 25 is controlled to rotate to drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate reversely, so as to drive the container 12 and the knife set 13 to rotate synchronously, and the food processor performs centrifugal operation.

And finishing the cooking operation.

The embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

the food processor is in a non-heating state, and the heating assembly 23 can be controlled to be far away from the container 12. In the state where the heating unit 23 is away from the container 12, even if the liquid flows down along the outer wall surface of the container 12, the liquid does not directly flow onto the heating unit 23. The present embodiment can reduce the probability of the heating element 23 getting liquid, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit or damage to the heating element 23.

The heating unit 23 is provided on the body 20 to reduce the weight of the cup 10 compared to the case 12. The user's operation is facilitated when the cup 10 is transferred.

The heating assembly 23 is disposed on the body main body 20, and reduces the center of gravity of the food processor compared with the case 12, so that the food processor is more stable in operation.

In the present embodiment, the container 12 is rotatable, and the heating assembly 23 is provided on the body 20, reducing the load of the second driving assembly 25 as compared with the case where it is fixed to the container 12.

If the heating assembly 23 is fixed to the container 12, the strong electric components in the heating assembly 23 may be drenched during the process of cleaning the cup body 10, so that the heating assembly 23 has a risk of short circuit or damage. And the heating assembly 23 is provided on the body 20 to avoid this risk.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes, which are made by the contents of the specification and the drawings of the present application or are directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of the present application.
