[0002] Fully automatic wall breaking machines usually have an automatic pulp discharge function. After pulping is completed, the pulp discharge valve will open to discharge the pulp. After the pulp discharge is completed, the pulp discharge valve closes and the program enters the automatic cleaning mode. Since the pulp has a certain viscosity and it is very likely that the pulp contains incompletely broken ingredients, the pulp discharge valve may not be completely closed during the closing process.

[0003] The current solution is: the system determines whether the slurry discharge valve is closed in place according to the micro switch installed on the slurry discharge valve. The system will record the time of the slurry discharge valve closing process. If the slurry discharge valve is not closed in place within the set time, the system will stop the cleaning program and issue an alarm, waiting for the user to clean manually. This does not completely solve the problem of the slurry discharge valve being unable to close, it is inconvenient to use, and the user experience is poor. Summary of the invention

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0025] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] The present application proposes a method for cleaning a cooking device, wherein the cooking device is a device for beating food materials, such as a wall breaker, a blender, a soymilk maker, etc. The cooking device includes a slurry container, and the food is placed in the slurry container for beating. After the slurry or paste obtained by beating the food is discharged from the device through a slurry discharge valve, the slurry discharge valve is closed, and water is poured into the slurry container for washing. However, there may be a situation where large particles of food residues block the slurry discharge valve, causing the slurry discharge valve to be unable to be closed.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method for cleaning a cooking device of the present application. The steps of the method for cleaning a cooking device of the present embodiment are as follows:

[0028] S11: Control the slurry discharge valve to close.

[0029] The slurry discharge valve refers to a valve arranged on the slurry container, which is used to allow the liquid in the slurry container to flow out when opened. Generally, the slurry discharge valve is arranged at the bottom of the slurry container or near the bottom of the side wall, and is led out to the outside of the cooking device through a pipe.

[0030] Generally, after the cooking device finishes blending the food and discharges the paste or slurry obtained by blending through the slurry discharge valve, a closing command is sent to control the slurry discharge valve to close, so that the slurry container is in a sealed state, which is convenient for automatic cleaning of the slurry container for next use.

[0031] In one case, the slurry discharge valve can be closed automatically. Specifically, taking a wall breaking machine as an example, after the wall breaking machine beats the food in the beating cup (slurry container) and forms slurry, it will remind the user that the beating is complete. After receiving the user's discharge instruction, the slurry discharge valve is opened to allow the slurry in the beating cup to flow out from the slurry discharge valve. Further, the wall breaking machine can automatically detect whether the slurry in the beating cup is completely discharged to automatically control the slurry discharge valve to close. For example, a gravity sensor can be set at the bottom of the beating cup to detect the weight of the beating cup. When the weight is less than a set threshold, it is determined that the slurry in the beating cup is completely discharged, and the slurry discharge valve is automatically controlled to close; or, a liquid level sensor, such as an infrared sensor, can be set in the beating cup to detect the liquid level height in the beating cup. When the liquid level height is less than a set threshold, it is determined that the slurry in the beating cup is completely discharged, and the slurry discharge valve is automatically controlled to close.

[0032] In another case, the slurry discharge valve can be manually closed by obtaining user instructions. Specifically, taking the wall breaking machine as an example, after the wall breaking machine beats the food in the beating cup (slurry container) and forms slurry, it reminds the user that the beating is complete. After receiving the user's discharge instruction, the slurry discharge valve is opened to allow the slurry in the beating cup to flow out of the slurry discharge valve. The user can observe whether the slurry is almost completely discharged, so as to manually control the slurry discharge valve to close at an appropriate time. For example, a touch sensing area can be set on the control panel on the outer surface of the body of the wall breaking machine, and the user can control the slurry discharge valve to close by touching the touch sensing area, or a mechanical control button can be set on the control panel on the outer surface of the body of the wall breaking machine, and when the user wants to close the slurry discharge valve, he can press the mechanical control button to control the slurry discharge valve to close.

[0033] S12: Detect and confirm that the slurry discharge valve fails to close, and control the slurry discharge valve to open.

[0034] The slurry discharge valve can be tested for closure status through the valve closing detection unit. If it is detected that the slurry discharge valve is fully closed, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve is closed successfully; if it is not detected that the slurry discharge valve is fully closed, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve has failed to close.

[0035] The valve closing detection unit is set corresponding to the slurry discharge valve, and is used to detect and confirm that the slurry discharge valve is closed, and sends a closing message when the slurry discharge valve is detected to be fully closed, so as to confirm that the slurry discharge valve is closed. The valve closing detection unit can be, for example, a reed switch, a micro switch or a photoelectric detection module.

[0036] Specifically, the reason why the slurry discharge valve fails to close is most likely because large particles of food remain in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve. Therefore, after confirming that the slurry discharge valve has failed to close, this step controls the slurry discharge valve to open, so that the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve are connected to the external environment, making it convenient to use running water to flush the slurry discharge valve and wash away the large particles of food or food residues that are blocking the valve body of the slurry discharge valve.

[0037] Optionally, it is detected and confirmed whether the slurry discharge valve is closed within a preset time, and the preset time may be, for example, 5s, 7s, 10s, etc. If the slurry discharge valve is not closed within the preset time, it is determined that the slurry discharge valve fails to close; if the slurry discharge valve is closed within the preset time, it is determined that the slurry discharge valve is closed successfully.

[0038] S13: Fill the slurry container with water to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0039] After confirming that the slurry discharge valve fails to close and controlling the slurry discharge valve to open in step S12, water is injected into the slurry container, and the water flows out through the slurry discharge valve. Thus, the slurry discharge valve can be flushed to flush away large particles of food or food residues that may be blocked in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve, so that the slurry discharge valve can be closed smoothly.

[0040] Specifically, the water inlet mechanism is controlled to open and water is injected into the slurry container to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0041] After the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the whipping motor can also be turned on to whip the liquid in the slurry container so that the liquid in the slurry container can flush the inside of the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve in all directions. On the one hand, some residues stuck inside the slurry container can be washed away. On the other hand, the liquid generates impact force under the whipping action of the whipping motor, which can wash away the residues stuck in the gap of the valve body of the slurry discharge valve and are difficult to clean, thereby improving the cleaning ability. Among them, taking a wall breaker or a blender as an example, when processing food materials, the whipping motor is used to whip the food materials to process large-grained food materials into small-grained food materials. When flushing the slurry discharge valve, the whipping motor can drive the liquid to form a water flow with impact force.

[0042] Optionally, after the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the heating mechanism can also be turned on to heat the liquid in the slurry container. Specifically, the food has the characteristic of being easily softened by heating. Turning on the heating mechanism in this step can soften the food residues, so that the flushing effect of the slurry discharge valve is better. Among them, when processing the food, the heating mechanism of the cooking device can be turned on after the food is ground into powder, and it can be directly heated or cooked without transferring the ground food to other cooking pots for cooking, which is convenient to use. For example, it is very convenient to use it for making soy milk, baby food or soup. When flushing the slurry discharge valve, turning on the heating mechanism is conducive to softening the food, making it easier to flush out the food stuck in the gap, and the flushing efficiency is higher.

[0043] Among them, this step can simultaneously execute the operations of turning on the heating mechanism and turning on the whipping motor to improve the flushing effect.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another embodiment of the cooking device cleaning method of the present application. The cooking device cleaning method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0045] S21: Send a closing command to the slurry discharge valve and start timing.

[0046] After the food is whipped and discharged, this step sends a closing command to the slurry discharge valve to close the slurry discharge valve, and starts timing at the same time, so that the slurry container is sealed, which is convenient for automatic cleaning of the slurry container for next use.

[0047] Among them, a timer can be set to start timing from 0 after sending a shutdown command, and the timing can be in milliseconds or seconds.

[0048] S22: Detect and confirm whether the closing information sent by the valve closing detection unit is received within a preset time period.

[0049] After receiving the closing instruction, the slurry discharge valve performs the closing operation. In this step, the valve closing detection unit can be used to detect whether the slurry discharge valve is fully closed. If the valve closing detection unit detects that the slurry discharge valve is fully closed, a closing message is sent to confirm that the slurry discharge valve is successfully closed. If the slurry discharge valve is not detected to be fully closed within the preset time period, no closing message is sent to confirm that the slurry discharge valve fails to close.

[0050] Among them, the valve closing detection unit corresponds to the slurry discharge valve setting, which is used to detect and confirm that the slurry discharge valve is closed and send closing information.

[0051] Among them, this step can stop timing after the timing reaches the preset time period, and confirm whether the closing information is received. If it is confirmed that the closing information is received, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve fails to close, and step S23 is executed; if it is confirmed that the closing information is not received, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve is closed successfully, and step S25 is executed.

[0052] S23: Control the slurry discharge valve to open.

[0053] The reason why the slurry discharge valve fails to close is most likely because large particles of food remain in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve. Therefore, after confirming that the slurry discharge valve fails to close, this step controls the slurry discharge valve to open, so that the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve are connected to the external environment, making it convenient to use running water to flush the slurry discharge valve and wash away the large particles of food.

[0054] Optionally, a valve opening detection unit is used to detect whether the slurry discharge valve is fully opened. After detecting that the slurry discharge valve is fully opened, the valve opening detection unit sends an opening message. After receiving the opening message sent by the valve opening detection unit, step S24 is executed.

[0055] The valve opening detection unit may be a reed switch, a micro switch or a photoelectric detection module.

[0056] S24: Fill the slurry container with water to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0057] After confirming in step S11 that the slurry discharge valve fails to close and controlling the slurry discharge valve to open, water is injected into the slurry container, and the water flows out through the slurry discharge valve. Thus, the slurry discharge valve can be flushed to flush away large particles of food that may be stuck in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve so that it does not affect the closing of the slurry discharge valve.

[0058] Specifically, the water inlet mechanism is controlled to open and water is injected into the slurry container to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0059] After the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the whipping motor can be turned on to whip the liquid in the slurry container so that the liquid in the slurry container can flush the inside of the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve in all directions. On the one hand, some residues stuck in the slurry container can be washed away, and on the other hand, the liquid generates impact force under the whipping action of the whipping motor, which can wash away the residues stuck in the gap of the slurry discharge valve body that are difficult to clean, thereby improving the cleaning ability.

[0060] Optionally, after the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the heating mechanism can be turned on to heat the liquid in the slurry container. Specifically, the food has the characteristic of being easily softened by heating. In this step, the heating mechanism is turned on to soften the food residue, so that the flushing effect of the slurry discharge valve is better.

[0061] Among them, this step can simultaneously execute the operation of turning on the heating mechanism and the operation of turning on the whipping motor to improve the flushing effect.

[0062] S25: Automatically clean the slurry container.

[0063] This step controls the operation of various cleaning components such as the water inlet mechanism according to the preset control program to automatically clean the slurry container for next use, freeing up manpower and making it easy to use. Those skilled in the art can set the corresponding cleaning program, and start the automatic cleaning program after confirming that the slurry discharge valve is closed successfully, and automatically clean the slurry container. The cleaning time, the start sequence of each cleaning component involved in the automatic cleaning, and the working time can all be set by themselves, for example, according to the type of cooking device, the type of food to be processed, or the amount of food to be processed, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of another embodiment of the cooking device cleaning method of the present application. The cooking device cleaning method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0065] S31: Control the slurry discharge valve to close.

[0066] After the cooking device finishes beating the food and discharges the paste or slurry obtained by the beating through the slurry discharge valve, a closing instruction is sent to control the slurry discharge valve to close, so that the slurry container is sealed, which is convenient for automatic cleaning operation of the slurry container for next use.

[0067] In this step, after the food is discharged through the pulp discharge valve, a closing command is sent to the pulp discharge valve and timing is started.

[0068] S32: Detect and confirm whether the slurry discharge valve fails to close.

[0069] In this step, the valve closing detection unit can be used to detect whether the slurry discharge valve is fully closed. If the valve closing detection unit detects that the slurry discharge valve is fully closed, a closing message is sent.

[0070] Optionally, if the closing information sent by the valve closing detection unit is not received within a preset time period, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve has failed to close; if the closing information sent by the valve closing detection unit is received within the preset time period, it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve has been closed successfully.

[0071] In this step, if it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve fails to close, step S33 is executed; if it is confirmed that the slurry discharge valve is closed successfully, step S38 is executed.

[0072] S33: Obtain the number of flushing times.

[0073] In this embodiment, each time the operation of flushing the slurry discharge valve in step S36 is performed, the cumulative flushing times is increased by 1, and the flushing times represent the number of times the slurry discharge valve is flushed in this valve closing operation.

[0074] S34: Detect and confirm whether the flushing times are less than or equal to the set times threshold.

[0075] If the flushing times are less than or equal to the set times threshold, step S35 is executed; if the flushing times are greater than the set times threshold, indicating that the flushing times are exceeded, step S39 is executed to issue an alarm message, indicating that the slurry discharge valve fails to close. The set times threshold can be 2 or 3, for example.

[0076] S35: Control the slurry discharge valve to open.

[0077] The reason why the slurry discharge valve fails to close is most likely because large particles of food remain in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve. Therefore, after confirming that the slurry discharge valve fails to close, this step controls the slurry discharge valve to open, so that the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve are connected to the external environment, making it convenient to use running water to flush the slurry discharge valve and wash away the large particles of food.

[0078] Optionally, a valve opening detection unit is used to detect whether the slurry discharge valve is fully opened. After detecting that the slurry discharge valve is fully opened, the valve opening detection unit sends an opening message. After receiving the opening message sent by the valve opening detection unit, step S36 is executed.

[0079] S36: Fill the slurry container with water to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0080] In this step, water is poured into the slurry container, and the water flows out through the slurry discharge valve, thereby flushing the slurry discharge valve and washing away large particles of food that may be stuck in the valve body of the slurry discharge valve so as not to affect the closing of the slurry discharge valve.

[0081] Specifically, the water inlet mechanism is controlled to open and water is injected into the slurry container to flush the slurry discharge valve.

[0082] Among them, the flushing time of the flushing and discharge valve can be set to 5s to 10s. The flushing time is appropriate. Too long time will cause waste of water resources, and too short time may lead to inadequate flushing and inability to flush away large particles of food or residues.

[0083] After the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the whipping motor can be turned on to whip the liquid in the slurry container so that the liquid in the slurry container can flush the inside of the slurry container and the slurry discharge valve in all directions. On the one hand, some residues stuck in the slurry container can be washed away, and on the other hand, the liquid generates impact force under the whipping action of the whipping motor, which can wash away the residues stuck in the gap of the slurry discharge valve body that are difficult to clean, thereby improving the cleaning ability.

[0084] Optionally, after the slurry container is filled with water in this step, the heating mechanism can be turned on to heat the liquid in the slurry container. Specifically, the food has the characteristic of being easily softened by heating. In this step, the heating mechanism is turned on to soften the food residue, so that the flushing effect of the slurry discharge valve is better.

[0085] Among them, this step can simultaneously execute the operation of turning on the heating mechanism and the operation of turning on the whipping motor to improve the flushing effect.

[0086] S37: The cumulative number of flushing times is increased by 1.

[0087] This step accumulates and counts the number of times the slurry discharge valve is flushed, and its initial value is 0. Each time step S36 is executed, the number of flushing times is increased by 1, and the process returns to step S31 to close the slurry discharge valve.

[0088] Optionally, a counter can be provided to count the number of flushing times of the flushing and discharging valve. The counter can be provided in association with the water inlet mechanism, so that the counter is triggered to perform cumulative counting each time the water inlet mechanism is opened.

[0089] S38: Automatically clean the slurry container.

[0090] The process is the same as step S25 and will not be described again here.

[0091] S39: Send an alarm message.

[0092] In step S34, when it is confirmed that the number of flushing times is greater than the set threshold, it indicates that the number of flushing times has exceeded and the slurry discharge valve still fails to close, which means that there may be other factors affecting the closing of the slurry discharge valve. An alarm message is issued to prompt the user, and the flushing of the slurry discharge valve is stopped so that the user can take other effective means to close the slurry discharge valve.

[0093] Among them, a warning module can be set, for example, a warning light, a buzzer or a voice warning module can be set. If the slurry discharge valve still fails to close after being flushed for multiple times, the failure information sent by the valve closing detection unit can be fed back to the warning module to trigger the warning light to flash, or trigger the buzzer to alarm, or trigger the voice warning module to send a voice warning message to serve as a prompt, so that the user can choose manual cleaning according to the corresponding alarm information or clean the slurry container by operating the control panel of the cooking device.
