Currently there are various kitchen appliances using electric motors. Some kitchen appliances desire the electric motor to be smaller without reducing its power. One such kitchen appliance is the food processor.
Conventionally, the food processor uses a two-pole universal motor. The stator of the motor has a stator core which includes a yoke with a rectangular configuration and two salient poles which extend inwardly from two opposing sides of the yoke and have stator windings wound thereon. When the stator windings are electrified, two magnetic poles with opposite polarity are formed at the salient poles and two magnetic circuits are formed. Each magnetic circuit passes through two stator poles, the rotor and a side of the yoke so that it has a relatively long path.
The present invention aims to provide a new kitchen appliance, especially a food processor which is permitted to be smaller and cheaper.
