Abstract

A blender includes: a main body; a container detachably installed on the main body and including a blade; a container lid including an exhaust nozzle part in which a through hole is defined to communicate with the inside of the container, the container lid covering the container; a stand extending upward from one side of the main body; a connection body installed on the stand and including a connection nozzle part air-tightly connected to the exhaust nozzle part; and a vacuum pump connected to the connection nozzle part, wherein the connection body is movable upward and downward.

Claims

1. A blender comprising:

a main body;

a container detachably installed on the main body and comprising a blade;

a container lid comprising an exhaust nozzle part in which a through hole is defined to communicate with the inside of the container, the container lid covering the container;

a stand extending upward from one side of the main body;

a connection body installed on the stand and comprising a connection nozzle part air-tightly connected to the exhaust nozzle part; and

a vacuum pump connected to the connection nozzle part,

wherein the connection body is movable upward and downward.

2. The blender of claim 1, wherein the vacuum pump is installed in the connection body.

3. The blender of claim 1, further comprising a vacuum sensor configured to measure a vacuum level inside the container.

4. The blender of claim 1, wherein the stand comprises a pillar member extending upward from the main body,

wherein the connection body further comprises a pillar holding part coupled to the pillar member so that the connection body is guided by the pillar member to be movable upward and downward.

5. The blender of claim 4, wherein an insertion hole, in which the pillar member is inserted, is defined in the pillar holding part,

wherein, in the state in which the pillar member is inserted into the insertion hole, the pillar holding part moves upward and downward along the pillar member.

6. The blender of claim 1, wherein the stand comprises a rack gear member extending upward from the main body,

wherein, the connection body comprises a pinion gear member coupled to the rack gear member and a driving motor connected to the pinion gear member to rotate the pinion gear member,

wherein, the driving motor is fixedly installed on the connection body to move together with the connection body.

7. The blender of claim 1, further comprising a stop switch configured to stop the movement of the connection body in a state in which the connection body moves downward so that the connection nozzle part is connected to the exhaust nozzle part.

8. The blender of claim 7, wherein the stop switch is disposed on a bottom surface of the connection body to operate when contacting a top surface of the container lid.

9. The blender of claim 1, wherein the connection body further comprises a support member having a surface parallel to an inner surface of the stand,

wherein the support member slidably moves upward and downward while adjacently facing the inner surface of the stand.
