The first embodiment of the food processor of the present application is described in detail below.

Fig. 1 is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of a food processor according to a first embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the food processor shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the food processor includes: cup 10 and body 20. The cup body 10 is detachably provided on the top of the body main body 20 to facilitate the transfer of the cooking material and the cleaning of the cup body 10. The cooking material is soybean and water, and soybean milk can be obtained by cooking. 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 set 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 below, 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 cover 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 lid body 1131 may snap into engagement 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 containing 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 driving the container body 121 to rotate under the action of a force. 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 housing body 111, the inner lid 123 is placed on the container body 121 in synchronization.

The container 12 is surrounded by a 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 set 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 rotary shaft 141 is inserted into the container body 121 to be connected to the cutter 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 group 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, 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, 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 slurry (i.e. liquid with high fluidity in the slurry) flows back to the bottom of the container 12, so that 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.

Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the food processor shown in fig. 1. Fig. 6 is an exploded view of the main body 20 of the food processor shown in fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a three-dimensional structure diagram of the main housing 212 and the locking assembly 22 of the food processor shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 5 to 7, the body 20 includes: base 21, lock catch subassembly 22, heating element 23, mount pad 27 and cooking machine host computer. The cooking machine host computer includes: a transmission 28, a first drive assembly 24, and a second drive assembly 25.

The mount 21 serves to carry the cup 10 and to assemble the remaining components of the body 20. A latch assembly 22 is provided on the base 21 for engaging with a catch 111a in the cup 10 to detachably connect the cup 10 to the base 21. The heating assembly 23 is movably connected to the base 21. With the cup 10 attached to the base 21, the heating assembly 23 can move toward or away from the container 12 and can heat the container 12. The mount 27 is provided on the base 21. The transmission member 28 is disposed on the mounting base 27. The transmission member 28 can rotate around the axis L1 in the direction that the heating element 23 approaches or leaves the container 12, so as to drive the heating element 23 to approach or leave the container 12. The first driving assembly 24 is disposed on the mounting seat 27 for driving the transmission member 28 to rotate. The second driving assembly 25 is disposed at the mounting seat 27 and located below the container 12, and is detachably connected to the transmission assembly 14 in the cup body 10 for driving the container 12 and/or the knife assembly 13 to rotate.

In an application scenario, the using process of the food processor is as follows: 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 rotate the rotating shaft 141 forward, so as to drive the knife assembly 13 to rotate relative to the container 12, and the food processor performs a crushing 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 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. This embodiment can reduce the probability that the heating element 23 is stained with liquid, thereby reducing the risk of short-circuiting or damage to the heating element 23.

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 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. In addition, still reduced the focus of cooking machine for cooking machine operation is more stable.

Specifically, the base 21 may include: a top housing 211, a main housing 212, and a bottom housing 213.

The top of the main housing 212 is provided with a first circular opening 212a. The locking assembly 22 is substantially annular and is disposed on the top of the main housing 212 and surrounds the first circular opening 212a. The top housing 211 is detachably disposed on the top of the main housing 212, and a third cavity (not shown) is formed between the top housing 211 and the main housing 212 to accommodate a portion of the locking assembly 22, so as to make the appearance of the food processor more compact. The top of the top case 211 is provided with a second circular opening 211a. The second circular opening 211a corresponds to the first circular opening 212a. The bottom housing 213 is detachably disposed at the bottom of the main housing 212. When the top housing 211, the main housing 212 and the bottom housing 213 are assembled into a whole, the cavities 26 are formed, and the cavities 26 are opened through the second circular opening 211a. The mounting seat 27 is disposed in the receiving cavity 26 of the base 21 and detachably connected to the base 21, and specifically, the base 21 is connected to the main housing 212. The mounting block 27 is used to mount the first drive assembly 24, the second drive assembly 25 and the transmission member 28. In assembling the main body 20, since the mounting seat 27 is detachably connected to the main housing 212, the first driving assembly 24, the second driving assembly 25 and the transmission member 28 may be assembled to the mounting seat 27, the mounting seat 27 may be assembled to the main housing 212, and then the bottom housing 213 may be assembled to the main housing 212. This is easier to operate than if the first drive assembly 24, the second drive assembly 25 and the transmission member 28 were assembled directly in the pocket 26.

The heating assembly 23 is disposed in the cavity 26 of the base 21. In the state where cup 10 is attached to base 21, heating assembly 23 is located below container 12. The heating assembly 23 is capable of moving up and down relative to the base 21 to heat the bottom of the container 12. Fig. 8 isbase:Sub>A sectional viewbase:Sub>A-base:Sub>A in fig. 5. Referring to fig. 8, the base 21 has a first rotation limiting portion 215. The first rotation restricting portion 215 is provided outside the heating element 23 and is not rotatable about the axis L1. The heating assembly 23 has a second rotation restricting portion 235. The second rotation restricting part 235 is slidably fitted to the first rotation restricting part 215 in the direction of the axis L1. Specifically, the first rotation restricting part 215 and the second rotation restricting part 235 are provided to a pair of opposing faces of the base 21 and the heating assembly 23, respectively. The first rotation restricting part 215 is a first column extending in the moving direction of the heating unit 23. The second rotation restricting part 235 is a first groove extending in the moving direction of the heating element 23. In this embodiment, the first rotation restricting portion 215 is provided on the cavity wall of the cavity 26 of the base 21. The second rotation restricting part 235 is provided at an outer edge of the heating assembly 23. Of course, in other embodiments, the shapes of the first rotation limiting portion 215 and the second rotation limiting portion 235 may be interchanged, that is, the first rotation limiting portion 215 is a first groove and the second rotation limiting portion 235 is a first cylinder. By providing the first rotation limiting portion 215 and the second rotation limiting portion 235, the heating element 23 can move along a predetermined path, and the heating element 23 is prevented from rotating by the transmission member 28.

The heating assembly 23 is capable of heating the container 12 by self-heating. When the heating assembly 23 is capable of heating the container 12 by self-heating, the container 12 is at least partially made of a thermally conductive material, such as an aluminum alloy, to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. The heating assembly 23 may also heat the container 12 in a manner that does not itself generate heat, for example, by emitting microwaves to heat the food material. Microwave heating is prior art and will not be described here. The specific structure of the heating unit 23 will be described below by taking as an example the heating unit 23 itself can generate heat. Fig. 9 is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the heating assembly 23 in the food processor of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 9, the heating assembly 23 includes: a heat transfer body 231, a heat generating member (not visible), and a support body 232.

The heat transfer body 231 is disposed at a side of the support body 232 facing the container 12. The heat transfer body 231 has thermal conductivity and is made of a heat conductive material, for example, aluminum alloy. The heat transfer body 231 is annular and forms an avoidance hole 236 with the support body 232 to avoid the second driving assembly 25. One side surface of the heat transfer body 231 is matched with the container 12 to increase a contact area when contacting the container 12. The heat generating member is thermally coupled to the heat transfer body 231 and can generate heat when energized. Specifically, the heat generating member may be a heat generating tube, which is inserted in the heat transfer body 231. The heating tube is optional in the prior art. The plurality of heat generating members are uniformly distributed on the heat transfer body 231 around the axis of the heat transfer body 231, so that the temperature on the heat transfer body 231 is uniform. The support body 232 is movably connected to the base 21 and can move up and down with respect to the base 21. The second rotation restricting part 235 is provided in the support body 232. The supporting body 232 is provided with a plurality of (four) interference portions 237 at a side facing away from the container 12. The interference portion 237 is used to interfere with the transmission member 28. When the transmission member 28 rotates, the supporting body 232 is driven to approach or separate from the container 12, and the heat transferring body 231 is driven to approach or separate from the container 12. After the heat transfer body 231 approaches and collides against the container 12, heat is transferred to the container 12, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the container 12.

Fig. 10 is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the mounting base 27, the transmission member 28, the first driving assembly 24, the second driving assembly 25 and the heating assembly 23 in the food processor shown in fig. 1. Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the mount 27, transmission member 28, first drive assembly 24, second drive assembly 25, and heating assembly 23 of fig. 10. FIG. 12 is a schematic three-dimensional view of the driving member 28 of FIG. 10. Fig. 13 is an exploded view of mount 27 of fig. 10. The description is continued with reference to fig. 10 to 13.

To guide the rotation of transmission member 28 about axis L1, the food processor comprises: a first guide portion 2711 and a second guide portion 285. The first guide portion 2711 is disposed outside the transmission member 28. The second guide portion 285 is provided to the transmission member 28, and is slidably fitted with the first guide portion 2711 about the axis L1. Specifically, the first guide portion 2711 and the second guide portion 285 are provided on a pair of opposing surfaces of the mount base 27 and the transmission member 28, respectively. The first guide portion 2711 is a second groove extending about the axis L1. The second guiding portion 285 is a second cylinder extending in the direction of the axis L1, and at least a portion of the second cylinder is accommodated in the second groove. In other embodiments, the shapes of the first guide portion 2711 and the second guide portion 285 may be interchanged, i.e., the first guide portion 2711 is a second cylinder extending in the direction of the axis L1. The second guide 285 is a second groove extending about the axis L1.

In addition, in order to limit the rotation range of the transmission member 28, the food processor further includes: the stopper 2712. The limiting portion 2712 is disposed in the second groove and is configured to abut against at least a portion (a portion accommodated in the second groove) of the second guiding portion 285. When the second guiding portion 285 rotates to abut against the limiting portion 2712, the transmission member 28 cannot rotate relative to the mounting seat 27. In addition to the limitation of the rotation range of the driving member 28 by the limiting portion 2712, the rotation range of the driving member 28 may be limited by a third surface 283 as described below.

Specifically, the mount 27 includes: a first mounting member 271 and a second mounting member 272. Wherein the first mounting member 271 comprises: a central portion 271a and a peripheral portion 271b. The central portion 271a has a substantially bottle cap shape with a cavity opened downward. The cavity of the central portion 271a is used to house a portion of the second drive assembly 25. A first escape opening 2713 is formed in the center of the central portion 271a for escaping the second drive unit 25. Peripheral portion 271b is provided around central portion 271a, is integrally formed with central portion 271a, and is detachably attached to main casing 212 of base 21. The transmission member 28 is annular and is sleeved outside the central portion 271 a. The second mounting member 272 is located above the first mounting member 271 and is detachably coupled to the first mounting member 271 in the direction of the axis L1. The second mounting member 272 defines a second avoidance port 2721 at a center thereof for avoiding the second drive assembly 25. When assembling the transmission member 28, the transmission member 28 is firstly sleeved outside the central portion 271a of the first mounting member 271, and then the second mounting member 272 is assembled to the first mounting member 271. The first guide portion 2711 is located on the side surface of the peripheral portion 271b facing the transmission member 28, but may be located on the side surface of the second mounting member 272 facing the transmission member 28.

The transmission member 28 has a first surface 281. The first surface 281 is located outside the axis L1, and extends in the direction of the axis L1 while extending around the axis L1 to form a helicoid. The first surface 281 is in contact with the heating element 23 in a direction inclined to the axis L1 to convert the rotation of the transmission member 28 into the linear motion of the heating element 23. Specifically, the first surface 281 abuts against the interference portion 237 of the heating member 23. The transmission member 28 can rotate in the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. The first direction D1 is opposite to the second direction D2. When the transmission member 28 rotates in the first direction D1, the heating assembly 23 moves downward, away from the container 12, under the influence of gravity. When the transmission member 28 rotates in the second direction D2, the heating element 23 moves upwards under the thrust of the first surface 281, approaching until abutting against the container 12. In this embodiment, the number of the first surfaces 281 is four, and the first surfaces 281 are spaced around the axis L1. Therefore, the stress of the transmission piece 28 is more uniform, and the transmission piece is prevented from being jammed between the transmission piece and the base 21 in the lifting process.

The transmission member 28 also has a second surface 282. The second surface 282 is connected to an end of the first surface 281 and extends around the axis L1 to form a bearing surface. The second surface 282 is used for interfering with the heating assembly 23 in the direction of the axis L1 to prevent the transmission member 28 and the heating assembly 23 from moving relatively in the direction of the axis L1. In this embodiment, the first surface 281 is connected with the second surface 282 at both the extension start end and the extension end. When the heating element 23 is in abutment with the second surface 282, the heating element 23 is in an extreme position close to or remote from the container 12. By providing the second surface 282, the heating assembly 23 may be more stable when positioned at extreme positions near or away from the container 12.

The driving member 28 further has a third surface 283. The third surface 283 is connected to the extended end of the second surface 282 and extends along the direction of the axis L1 to form a blocking surface to limit the rotational movement of the transmission member 28. In this embodiment, the two second surfaces 282 disposed at two ends of the first surface 281 are connected to a third surface 283. As can be seen from the above description, the heating assembly 23 is not rotatable about the axis L1. When the transmission member 28 rotates to a predetermined posture, the third surface 283 abuts against the heating element 23, so that the transmission member 28 stops rotating to prevent the heating element 23 from separating from the second surface 282 of the transmission member 28.

In other embodiments, the first surface 281, the second surface 282 and the third surface 283 can also be disposed on the heating element 23, and the interference portion 237 is disposed on the transmission member 28, so as to achieve the transmission effect.

The transmission member 28 and the heating element 23 may be in line contact, point contact, or surface contact. When point contact is used, the transmission resistance of the transmission member 28 and the heating unit 23 is relatively small. The driving stability of the driving member 28 and the heating element 23 is relatively superior when surface contact is employed. In this embodiment, the transmission resistance and the transmission stability are considered in combination, and the transmission member 28 and the heating unit 23 are in line contact with each other. Specifically, the end of the interference portion 237 has an arc-shaped face. The arc-shaped surface at the end of the interference portion 237 is used for interfering with the transmission member 28.

The first drive assembly 24 includes: a gear 242 and a first motor 241. The gear 242 is rotatably provided to the mount 27. The transmission member 28 has transmission teeth 284. The gear 242 is in mesh with the transmission member 28. The first motor 241 is provided to the mount 27. The first motor 241 may be detachably fixed to the mounting base 27 by a screw, a snap, or the like, for convenient assembly. The driving shaft of the first motor 241 is connected to the gear 242. The first motor 241 can rotate forward and backward to drive the gear 242 forward and backward. Thereby, rotation of the drive transmission 28 by the first drive assembly 24 is achieved. In addition, the transmission ratio of the gear 242 to the transmission member 28 is greater than 1, i.e., the rotational angular velocity of the gear 242 is greater than the rotational angular velocity of the transmission member 28. Heating element 23 weight is great, is greater than 1 through setting up the drive ratio, can reduce the requirement to the drive power of first motor 241 to the first motor 241 of less specification can be chooseed for use, the space that first motor 241 occupy is reduced.

The second drive assembly 25 includes: a second motor 251 and a second connector 252. The second motor 251 is fixedly coupled to the first mounting member 272 in the mounting base 27. The second motor 251 may be detachably fixed to the first mounting member 272 by screws, snaps, or the like, to facilitate assembly. The second motor 251 is fixedly connected to the first mounting member 272, so that the number of parts can be reduced, the assembly procedures can be reduced, the manufacturing precision can be improved, and the cost can be reduced. The top end of the second motor 251 is received in the cavity of the central portion 271a of the first mounting member 272. From this, can effectively reduce fuselage main part 20 height in upper and lower direction to reduce the focus of cooking machine, improve the stability of cooking machine operation in-process. To avoid interference between the first motor 241 and/or the gear 242 and the second driving component 25, the transmission gear 284 may be disposed on a side of the transmission member 28 facing away from the second driving component 25, and the gear 242 may be disposed on a side of the transmission member 28 facing away from the second driving component 25. The second connector 252 is fixed to an output shaft of the second motor 251. The second connector 252 passes through the first mounting member 271 and the second mounting member 272 sequentially through the first avoidance port 2713 and the second avoidance port 2721, and then is connected to the transmission assembly 14 in the avoidance hole 236. In this embodiment, the output shaft of the second motor 251 is coaxial with the axis of the container 12. When the cup 10 is connected to the base 21, the first connector 144 and the second connector 252 are inserted and matched to form a coupler, and the rotating shaft 141 is connected to an output shaft of the second motor 251, so that the second motor 251 can drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate. The second motor 251 can rotate in forward and reverse directions, so as to drive the rotating shaft 141 to rotate in forward and reverse directions.

The second embodiment of the food processor of the present application is described in detail below.

The second embodiment is only described as a difference from the first embodiment, and a part of the second embodiment is not described with reference to the first embodiment.

Fig. 14 to 16 are a schematic three-dimensional structure, a cross-sectional view and an exploded view of the mounting seat 37, the transmission member 38 and the first driving assembly 34 in the second embodiment of the food processor of the present application. As shown in fig. 14 to 16, the main body of the food processor includes: a mounting seat 37, a transmission member 38, and the first drive assembly 34. The mounting seat 37 is used to assemble the transmission member 38 and the first drive assembly 34. The transmission member 38 is disposed on the mounting base 37 and can rotate around an axis L1 in a direction in which the heating element (not shown) approaches or leaves the container (not shown), so as to drive the heating element to approach or leave the container. The first drive assembly 34 is adapted to drive rotation of the drive member 38.

The transmission member 38 has transmission teeth 384. The first drive assembly 34 includes: gear 342 and first motor 341. The gear 342 is rotatably provided to the mount 37. Gear 342 meshes with transmission member 38. The first motor 341 is disposed on the mounting seat 37 and can drive the gear 342 to rotate forward and backward to drive the transmission member 38 to rotate forward and backward. The mounting seat 37 can cover the portion where the transmission member 38 and the gear 342 are engaged. Thereby, the portion where the transmission member 38 and the gear 342 are engaged can be kept clean.

In particular. The mount 37 has an annular groove 373 (the sectional shape of the annular groove 373 is roughly indicated by a dotted line portion in fig. 15) extending around the axis L1, and the opening of the annular groove 373 opens away from the axis L1. The transmission member 38 is hollow and sleeved in the annular groove 373 of the mounting seat 37, and the transmission teeth 384 are located on one side of the transmission member 38 facing the axis L1. The gear 342 is accommodated in the annular groove 373 and located on one side of the transmission member 38 facing the axis L1. Thereby, a closed space is formed between the annular groove 373 and the transmission member 38.

To facilitate assembly of the transmission member 38, the mounting seat 37 includes: the first mounting member 371 and the second mounting member 372 are detachably connected in the direction of the axis L1, and together form an annular groove 373. Specifically, the first mount 371 includes: a first mounting piece body 371a and a fourth hollow cylinder 371b. The second mounting member 372 includes: a second mount body 372a and a fifth hollow column 372b. The first mount body 371a and the second mount body 372a are provided at intervals in the axis L1 direction. The fourth and fifth hollow cylinders 371b and 372b are located on a pair of opposing faces of the first and second mounting member bodies 371a and 372a, respectively, and are in opposition. A pair of opposing faces of the first mount body 371a and the second mount body 372a form a pair of side walls of the annular groove 373. The cavities of the fourth and fifth hollow cylinders 371b, 372b are configured to allow for the avoidance of a second drive assembly (not shown).

The first mounting member 371 and the second mounting member 372 limit the position of the transmission member 38 in the direction of the axis L1, respectively, so that the position of the transmission member 38 in the direction of the axis L1 is stable. When assembling the driving member 38, the driving member 38 is assembled to the first mounting member 371, and then the second mounting member 372 is assembled to the first mounting member 371.

Other alternative embodiments:

in the first and second embodiments, the transmission member abuts against the heating component through the spiral surface to form a transmission matching structure. In other embodiments, the transmission member may be threadably coupled to the heating assembly to form a drive fit. For example, the heating element is threaded out of the transmission member (similar to a nut threaded out of a bolt). When the transmission member is driven by the first driving component to rotate, the heating component can move relative to the transmission member so as to approach or be far away from the container.

In the first and second embodiments, the heating element can move up and down, and the heating element is far away from the container under the action of self gravity. In other embodiments, the heating assembly may also be used to heat the side walls of the container. When the heating assembly is used to heat the side wall of the container, the direction of movement of the heating assembly may be horizontal. To enable the heating assembly to be remote from the container, a resilient member may be additionally provided. The elastic piece always applies elastic force which is back to the container to the heating assembly, so that the heating assembly is always attached to the first surface. When the heating assembly is required to approach the container, the acting force exerted on the heating assembly by the first surface overcomes the elastic force of the elastic piece, and the heating assembly is driven to move. When the heating assembly is required to be far away from the container, the heating assembly is driven to move by the elastic force of the elastic piece.

To sum up, this application cooking machine and host computer have following beneficial effect at least:

in the unheated state, the heating assembly may be controlled away from the container. Even if liquid flows down along the outer wall surface of the container under the state that the heating component is far away from the container, the liquid cannot directly flow onto the heating component. The probability that the heating component is stained with liquid can be reduced, and therefore the risk of short circuit or damage of the heating component is reduced.

If the heating assembly is fixed on the container, strong electric parts in the heating assembly may be drenched in the process of cleaning the cup body, so that the heating assembly has the risk of short circuit or damage. And the heating assembly is disposed on the fuselage body to avoid this risk.

Heating element sets up on the fuselage main part, compares in being fixed in on the container, has reduced the weight of cup. When the cup body is transferred, the operation of the user is more convenient. In addition, still reduced the focus of cooking machine for the cooking machine operation is more stable.

The transmission member is annular and is sleeved outside the central part of the first mounting member, and the top end of the second motor of the second driving assembly is accommodated in the cavity of the central part of the first mounting member. The gear in the first driving component is arranged on one side of the transmission component back to the second driving component. From this, under the prerequisite of avoiding first drive assembly and second drive assembly to interfere, effectively reduced the height of fuselage main part in upper and lower direction to reduce the focus of cooking machine, improved the stability of cooking machine operation in-process.

The heating assembly can be moved towards or away from the container by virtue of the container being rotatable about its own axis, and the first drive assembly can drive the heating assembly away from the container prior to rotation of the container and towards and into contact with the container during at least part of the period in which rotation of the container ceases. Thereby, the heating assembly can be prevented from influencing the rotation of the container.

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.
