BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[52] The present invention can be further understood by means of the following detailed description of the structure, features and variations of the present invention described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[53] With reference to FIG. 1, this invention relates to a base construction for a food blender. The base of the food blender includes:

[54] Base body 1.

[55] With reference to FIG. 1 onwards in FIG. 4, the motor 11 is installed in the base body 1. The rotating member 111 is connected to the shaft of the motor 11. The rotating member 111 is located on the upper wall of the base housing 1. The rotary member 111 is adapted to couple with and control the cutting tool in the container of the food blender. The container and cutting tool of the food blender are not shown in FIG. 1-4, since they do not constitute the scope to be protected by this invention.

[56] With reference to FIG. 2, a thickening 12 extends outside the side wall of the base body 1 and is deflected upward. The bulge 12 is preferably a chamber 121 for receiving a control unit 2, which will be described later. The chamber 121 has an opening 122 on the upper side of the bulge 12. Since the bulge 12 is tilted upward, the upper side of the bulge 12 faces the eyes of the human body, making it easy to use the user control unit 2.

[57] With reference to FIG. 3, a recess 13 is provided in the opposite wall of the base body 1. The side wall of the recess 13 preferably includes 131 a through hole through which the power cord 141 passes. The power cord 141 and the plug 142 can be housed in the recess 13 and are thus less likely to protrude outside the base case 1 so that the base of the food blender can be easily stored. In addition, two racks 132 are provided in the recess 13 with an interval between them. The upper end and lower end of each rack 132 are associated with the upper wall and the bottom wall of the recess 13, respectively. A power cord 141 may be wrapped around these two posts 132 to avoid entanglement of the power cord 141 located in the recess 13. The power connector 14 includes a power cord 141 and a plug 142 connected to the end of the power cord 141.

[58] With reference to FIG. 1 and 2, control unit 2 includes:

[59] First tactile control panel 21:

[60] When the bulge 12 is provided by the camera 121, the first tactile control panel 12 is mounted on the upper side of the bulge 12. The finger can touch the first tactile control panel 12 and slide left / right to generate a tactile control signal to control the speed of the engine 11. Operation and connections of these elements in this regard will be disclosed hereinafter. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the circuit board of the light emitting diodes 211, the light transmitting frame 212, the tactile control circuit board 213, the screen 214 and the first tactile control panel 21 are preferably arranged sequentially (from the inside to the outside) in the chamber 121. Thus, when the base of the food blender is working, the images provided on the first tactile control panel 21 transmit light to ensure the operation of the user. The operation of the connection and the corresponding functions of the above elements in chamber 121 are known to those skilled in the art and therefore are not described in order to avoid redundancy.

[61] Processor 22:

[62] With reference to FIG. 1 onwards in FIG. 4, the processor 22 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the engine 11 and the first tactile control panel 21 in order to receive a tactile control signal. The processor 22 includes an engine control program. Thus, when the user's finger touches the surface of the plate-shaped sliding section 215 and slides from the plate-shaped sliding section 215 to the other end of the plate-shaped sliding section 215, the processor 22 changes the speed of the motor 22 according to the control tactile signal.

[63] For example, when the finger touches the plate-shaped sliding section 215 and slides to the right, the speed of the motor 11 gradually increases under the control of the processor 22. When the finger reaches the right end of the plate-shaped sliding section 215, the speed of the engine 11 is the highest. When the finger touches the plate-shaped sliding section 215 and slides to the left, the speed of the motor 11 gradually decreases under the control of the processor 22. The engine 11 stops when the finger reaches the left end of the sliding section 215. Thus, the user can act easily to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.

[64] Second tactile control panel 3:

[65] With reference to FIG. 1 onwards in FIG. 2, the second tactile control panel 3 is located on the upper wall of the base case 1. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the upper wall of the housing 1 is deflected down to form a portion of the recess 15 in which the waterproof element 31, the circuit board of the light emitting diodes 32, the light-transmitting frame 33, the tactile control circuit board 34, the screen 35 and the second tactile control panel 3 are arranged in series (from the inside to the outside). The operation of the compound and the corresponding functions of the above elements are known to those skilled in the art and therefore are not described to avoid redundancy.

[66] In addition, the second tactile control panel 3 is electrically connected to the control unit 2. The second tactile control panel 3 can be touched with a finger to control the on / off control of the control unit 2.

The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention. All equivalent modifications within the scope of the claims are within the scope of this invention.
