Abstract
Embodiments provide a screw, a food processing cup assembly, and a food processor. The screw includes a screw body including a feeding area for feeding and a crushing area connected to the feeding area; a first spiral rib is spirally arranged on the feeding area along the axial direction of the screw body, and extending to the crushing area along a top of the screw body; a cutting surface extending from the top of the screw body to the crushing area; second spiral ribs are disposed on the screw body at intervals along the axial direction of the screw body.
Claims20
A screw, comprising:
- a screw body including a feeding area for feeding and a crushing area connected to the feeding area;
- a first spiral rib extending along a top of the screw body to a bottom of the screw body, wherein the first spiral rib includes a cutting section and a crushing section, the cutting section is extended to a direction from the top of the screw body toward the bottom of the screw body, the crushing section is continuously connected to the cutting section and extended toward the bottom of the screw body;
- a cutting surface disposed on the feeding area and extending downward from the top of the screw body;
- and
- a plurality of second spiral ribs disposed on the screw body at intervals along an axial direction of the screw body;
- wherein
- the cutting surface is one continuous surface;
- the first spiral rib comprises a blade;
- a tip of the blade is disposed at one side of the cutting surface, a top of the cutting surface extends to the tip of the blade;
- and
- the top of the cutting surface intersects with a top surface of the screw body to form a first intersecting edge, the first intersecting edge connects with the tip of the blade to form a convex angle.
A food processor, comprising a screw and a feeding cup;
- wherein the screw comprises:
