Food processor
A food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a body; a container detachably coupled to the body; a screw connected to the body while being at least partially received in the container; a juicing filter arranged to surround the tip side of the screw; and a cover detachably coupled to the leading end side of the container, wherein the container includes a first safety switch exposed toward the leading end side, and the first safety switch is switched to an ON state by the juicing filter in a state where the cover is coupled to the container.
1 . A food processor comprising:
a body;
a container detachably coupled to the body;
a screw connected to the body while at least a part is accommodated in the container;
a juicing filter disposed to cover a front end side of the screw; and
a cover detachably coupled to a front end side of the container,
wherein the container includes a first safety switch exposed toward the front end side of the container and disposed in the container,
wherein the first safety switch is switched to an ON state by the juicing filter while the cover is coupled to the container,
wherein the container further includes:
a cover coupling unit formed on a front end and coupled to the cover; and
a filter support unit formed at a base side rather than the cover coupling unit and contacting the juicing filter, and
wherein the cover coupling unit is formed on an outer side of the filter support unit, the juicing filter is accommodated in a space between the container and the cover, the first safety switch is provided to be retractable from the filter support unit, and the cover presses the juicing filter to a container side while being coupled to the container to allow the juicing filter to switch the first safety switch to the ON state.
2 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the body includes
a second safety switch switched to the ON state as the first safety switch is switched, and
a motor providing power to the screw while the second safety switch is switched to the ON state.
3 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a locking member fixing the container to the body, and
the locking member is provided to move between a first position which allows the container to be separated from the body and a second position which allows the container to be fixed to the body.
4 . The food processor of claim 3 , wherein the body includes a second safety switch switched to the ON state as the first safety switch is switched and a motor providing the power to the screw while the second safety switch is switched to the ON state, and
the second safety switch is exposed toward the container side through the locking member.
5 . The food processor of claim 4 , wherein the locking member has a slit which moves along the second safety switch so that the second safety switch maintains an exposed state while the locking member moves between the first position and the second position.
6 . The food processor of claim 3 , wherein the body further includes a sound generation unit generating a sound when the locking member is switched from the first position to the second position.
7 . The food processor of claim 6 , wherein the sound generation unit includes
a hitting portion,
an elastic member elastically supporting the hitting portion, and
a hit portion aligned with the hitting portion while the locking member is located at the second position, and
when the locking member is switched from the first position to the second position, the hitting portion collides with the hit portion by elastic force of the elastic member to generate the sound.
8 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the cover presses the juicing filter to the container side while the cover is directly coupled to the container to make the juicing filter press the first safety switch to switch the first safety switch to the ON state.
