Embodiment Construction

[0051] The present invention provides a food mixer with an optical analysis system, the optical analysis system includes a sensor module and a reference reflector, the sensor module has a light source and a light sensor for sensing reflected light. At least one of the sensor module and the reference reflector is mounted on a rotatable blade of the food blender at the base of the blender's container. This provides the best location for optical analysis since this area is free of foam. By using the blade as a mount for at least a part of the optical analysis system, efficient use of space is ensured.

[0052] figure 1 A food blender 10 is shown comprising a container 12 for holding food 14 to be blended. Blade assembly 16 (in an orientation for stirring) is mounted on the base of the container and includes rotatable blades.

[0053] The container is mounted on a base 18 which houses a motor 20 and a controller 22 . In one example, the container can be detached from the base ...

Abstract

A food blender has an optical analysis system comprising a sensor module having a light source and a light sensor for sensing reflected light, and a reference reflector. At least one of the sensor module and the reference reflector is mounted on a rotatable blade of the food blender at the base of the vessel of the blender. This provides a best location for optical analysis since this area is clear of foam. By using the blade as a mounting for at least part of the optical analysis system, an efficient use of space is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to food blenders. Background technique [0002] Food blenders are widely used for making soups, drinks, sauces and more. [0003] Consumers are increasingly concerned about the nutritional content of food and the impact of different food processing operations on the nutritional value of food. [0004] There are known systems for analyzing the nutritional content of food. For example, optical methods such as near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are known. These are sensing methods suitable for use with the food being blended in a blender. [0005] A feature of reflection-based optical sensing methods is the use of reference reflectors. Therefore, it is known to use a white reference for calibration and reflection compensation of the analyzed liquid. [0006] The food being stirred is intended to be uniform and homogeneous, so it is ideal for optical sensing. However, a lot of foam will be generated ...
