The invention provides a food processing apparatus that includes a drive unit configured to drive a processing tool and a first container including a lid, a bottom surface, and a sidewall. A food-containing volume is defined between the lid, the bottom surface, and the sidewall, and the lid interfaces with the drive unit. The drive unit includes a first alignment feature and the lid includes a second alignment feature that cooperates with the first alignment feature such that, upon placing the drive unit onto the lid, contact between the first and second alignment features and a weight of thedrive unit causes the drive unit to move toward an aligned orientation relative to the lid. 本发明提供了种食物处理装置，包括：驱动单元，所述驱动单元构造成驱动处理工具；以及第容器，所述第容器包括盖、底部表面和侧壁，其中，在所述盖、所述底部表面与所述侧壁之间限定有食物容纳体积，并且所述盖与所述驱动单元接合；其中，所述驱动单元包括第对准特征并且所述盖包括第二对准特征，所述第二对准特征与所述第对准特征配合，使得旦将所述驱动单元放置在所述盖上，所述第对准特征与所述第二对准特征之间的接触和所述驱动单元的重量就使得所述驱动单元相对于所述盖朝向对准定向移动。
