Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and in particular, relates to a food processor, a control method for a food processor, a control device for a food processor, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the food processor and the heating device are arranged together with the stirring chamber. During operation, the food and water are heated simultaneously, which requires a larger stirring chamber, resulting in the food processor occupying a larger space. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides a food processor.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for a food processor.

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention provides a control device for a food processor.

[0007] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a food processor.

[0008] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a food processor.

[0009] A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a readable storage medium.

[0010] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed, comprising: a shell having a cavity provided therein; a crushing assembly disposed in the shell and used to crush food in the cavity; a first heating device disposed in the shell and used to heat the food in the cavity; a liquid injection assembly connected to the cavity and used to input liquid into the cavity; and a second heating device disposed in the liquid injection assembly and used to heat the liquid output by the liquid injection assembly.

[0011] The present invention provides a food processor comprising a housing, a crushing assembly, a first heating device, a liquid injection assembly, and a second heating device. The cavity of the food processor is arranged in the housing, and the cavity is used to accommodate food. The crushing assembly is arranged in the housing, and the whipping mechanism of the crushing assembly is located in the cavity. During the operation of the crushing assembly, the whipping mechanism rotates in the cavity to crush and process the food in the cavity. The first heating device is installed in the housing, and the first heating device is installed in a position close to the cavity. When the first heating device is powered on, it generates heat and can heat the food in the cavity. The liquid injection assembly is installed in the housing, and the liquid injection assembly is connected to the cavity. When the liquid injection assembly is powered on, it can transport liquid into the cavity. The second heating device is installed on the liquid injection assembly. When the second heating device is powered on, it heats the liquid transported into the cavity, that is, the second heating device heats the liquid during the liquid transport process, so that the liquid entering the cavity is within a set temperature range, and the liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0012] The present invention provides a food processor with a first heating device for heating food in a cavity, and a second heating device for heating liquid delivered to the cavity. During operation, the food processor heats the food and liquid delivered to the cavity respectively by the first and second heating devices, and then uses hot water to dissolve the pulverized food. This prevents the pulverizing component from stirring the food and water mixture, which could cause the liquid to overflow from the cavity. This eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the food processor.

[0013] Wherein, the second heating device is selected as an instant electric heating device.

[0014] The food processor is used to prepare beverages such as soy milk. Ingredients are placed in the cavity of the food processor, and the first heating device is controlled to operate to bake the ingredients at high temperature to mature the ingredients. The moisture in the ingredients is heated and discharged from the ingredients to dry the ingredients. After the baking stage is completed, the crushing component is controlled to operate to crush the mature and dehydrated ingredients to prepare crushed ingredients. The liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to operate simultaneously. The liquid injection component supplies water to the cavity. During the water supply process, the second heating device heats the water supplied to the cavity to make the water hot, thereby preparing the crushed ingredients and completing the pulping step.

[0015] In some embodiments, after the food is put into the food processor, in order to improve the baking effect, while controlling the operation of the first heating device, the crushing component is controlled to rotate at a low speed to mix the food so that the food is evenly baked.

[0016] In these embodiments, during the soymilk preparation process in a food processor, beans are placed into a cavity, and the first heating device and the pulverizing assembly are controlled to operate simultaneously. The pulverizing assembly's whipping mechanism rotates slowly within the cavity, causing the beans to be in motion within the cavity, thereby improving the roasting effect of the beans. After roasting is completed, the first heating device is controlled to stop operating, and the pulverizing assembly is controlled to increase its speed. After the speed is increased, the roasted beans are pulverized to produce soy powder. The liquid injection assembly and the second heating device are controlled to operate to deliver hot water into the cavity, and the soy powder is mixed to produce soymilk. During the mixing process, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to reduce its speed to stir the prepared soymilk, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the soy powder and water.

[0017] In addition, the food processor according to the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0018] In one possible design, the liquid injection assembly includes: a liquid storage tank, which is arranged on the shell; an infusion tube, one end of which is connected to the liquid storage tank, and the other end of which is connected to the cavity, and a second heating device is arranged on the infusion tube.

[0019] In this design, the liquid injection assembly includes a liquid storage tank, which is installed in the shell and is used to store liquid for brewing the crushed food. The liquid injection assembly also includes an infusion tube, the two ends of which are connected to the liquid storage tank and the cavity respectively. The liquid stored in the liquid storage tank can be transported to the cavity through the infusion tube to brew the crushed food in the cavity. The second heating device is installed on the infusion tube. The second heating device can quickly heat the liquid flowing in the infusion tube, allowing the higher temperature liquid to enter the cavity to brew the crushed food. The second heating device is an instant electric heating device that can quickly heat the liquid in the infusion tube. By arranging the second heating device on the infusion tube to heat the liquid in the infusion tube, compared with the solution of directly heating the liquid in the liquid storage tank in the related art, it avoids repeated heating of the liquid in the liquid storage tank, reduces energy waste, increases the speed of delivering hot water to the cavity, and reduces the waiting time of the user.

[0020] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a liquid inlet. The liquid injection assembly further comprises a liquid inlet pipe, a first end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid storage tank, and a second end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid inlet.

[0021] In these embodiments, the user can refill the liquid reservoir through the liquid inlet, thereby eliminating the need to remove the liquid reservoir from the housing when refilling the liquid reservoir, reducing the number of connections between the liquid reservoir and the housing, and making the food processor more compact.

[0022] In a possible design, the liquid injection assembly further includes: a pumping device, which is arranged on the liquid infusion tube, and the pumping device is located between the second heating device and the liquid storage tank.

[0023] In this design, the injection assembly also includes a pumping device, mounted on the infusion tube. When powered, the pumping device drives the liquid in the infusion tube into the cavity. The pumping device is positioned between the second heating device and the reservoir, ensuring that only pre-heated liquid is pumped by the pumping device, preventing damage to the pumping device due to excessively high temperatures of the liquid flowing through it.

[0024] In a possible design, the liquid injection assembly further includes: a first valve body, which is arranged on the liquid infusion tube, and the first valve body is located between the pumping device and the liquid storage tank.

[0025] In this design, the liquid injection assembly also includes a first valve body. The first valve body is mounted on the liquid infusion tube. When water is not needed to be delivered to the cavity, the user can control the first valve body to be closed, preventing liquid from the reservoir from flowing into the liquid infusion tube. This allows the user to control whether liquid is delivered to the cavity according to their own wishes, improving the controllability of the liquid injection assembly.

[0026] It is understandable that the first valve body is selected as an electromagnetic control valve, and the flow state of the infusion tube can be controlled by controlling the switching state of the first valve body.

[0027] In one possible design, the crushing assembly includes: a crushing blade, which is arranged in the cavity; and a driving member, which is arranged in the shell and connected to the crushing blade, and is used to drive the crushing blade to rotate.

[0028] In this design, the crushing assembly includes a crushing blade and a driving member. The crushing blade is located in the cavity. When the driving member is powered on, it drives the crushing blade to rotate in the cavity, and the crushing blade can beat and crush the food in the cavity.

[0029] It is understandable that the speed at which the crushing blades are driven by the driving member to rotate is adjustable. In the process of crushing the food, the driving member controls the crushing blades to rotate at a first set speed, so that the food is beaten and crushed to form food powder. In the process of baking the food by the first heating device, the driving member controls the crushing blades to rotate at a second set speed, so that the food is in motion during the heating process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of heating of the food. When liquid is injected into the cavity through the liquid injection component to mix the crushed food, the driving member controls the crushing blades to rotate at a third set speed, so that the food and liquid are stirred, thereby improving the mixing uniformity between the food powder and the liquid. Among them, the second set speed and the third set speed are both smaller than the first set speed.

[0030] In some embodiments, the driving member is selected as a motor, and the rotation speed of the crushing blade can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the motor.

[0031] In a possible design, the first heating device is disposed on the bottom wall of the cavity, the first heating device is located inside the cavity, and / or outside the cavity.

[0032] In this design, the first heating device can be arranged on the inner bottom wall of the cavity and / or the outer bottom wall of the cavity. When the first heating device is arranged at the bottom wall of the cavity, the heat of the first heating device is transferred into the cavity through the bottom wall, thereby improving the heating effect on the material in the cavity.

[0033] In a possible design, the food processor further includes: a discharge device, which is arranged on the side wall of the shell, and the discharge device is connected to the cavity and is used to discharge the material in the cavity.

[0034] This design also includes a discharge device. This device is mounted on the sidewall of the housing. Once the food processor has finished processing the food, the through-hole discharge device discharges the processed food out of the cavity. By installing a corresponding discharge device on the housing, processed food can be discharged from the cavity without disassembling the food processor. Compared to related art methods that use a detachable cup to pour food out of the food processor, the food processor of this invention has the advantage of being smaller.

[0035] In one possible design, the discharge device includes: a discharge pipe, which is arranged on the side wall of the shell and is connected to the cavity; and a second valve body, which is arranged on the discharge pipe.

[0036] In this design, the discharge device includes a discharge pipe and a second valve body. The second valve body is installed on the discharge pipe and can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe. The second valve body can be optionally a solenoid control valve, and the discharge state of the food in the cavity can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing state of the second valve body. When the user needs to discharge the material in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the open state, and the material in the cavity can be discharged from the food processor through the discharge pipe. When the food processor is running to process the food in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the closed state to prevent the food from overflowing.

[0037] In a possible design, the food processor further includes a cover, the shell is further provided with an opening, the opening is communicated with the cavity, and the cover is provided on the shell to seal the opening.

[0038] In this design, the food processor also includes a cover for sealing the opening. The cover is removably attached to the opening of the housing. During operation, the cover snaps onto the opening of the housing to prevent liquid from splashing out of the food processor through the opening. When the food processor is stopped, the user can remove the cover from the food processor to facilitate cleaning of the food processor cavity.

[0039] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a control method for a food processor is proposed. The food processor includes: a cavity, a crushing component, a first heating device, a liquid injection component, and a second heating device. The first heating device is used to heat the food in the cavity. The liquid injection component is connected to the cavity for inputting liquid into the cavity; the second heating device is arranged on the liquid injection component for heating the liquid output by the liquid injection component. The control method includes: controlling the first heating device to heat the food in the cavity until a first set time is reached; controlling the crushing component to crush the food in the cavity until a second set time is reached; controlling the liquid injection component to operate to inject liquid into the cavity, and controlling the second heating device to operate to heat the liquid injected into the cavity.

[0040] The control method provided by the present invention is used for a food processor, which includes a housing, a crushing assembly, a first heating device, a liquid injection assembly, and a second heating device. The cavity of the food processor is disposed within the housing, and the cavity is used to accommodate food. The crushing assembly is disposed within the housing, and the crushing assembly's whipping mechanism is located within the cavity. During operation of the crushing assembly, the whipping mechanism rotates within the cavity to crush and process the food within the cavity. The first heating device is mounted within the housing, and is mounted near the cavity. When the first heating device is powered on, it generates heat and can heat the food within the cavity. The liquid injection assembly is mounted within the housing, and is connected to the cavity. When the liquid injection assembly is powered on, it can deliver liquid into the cavity. The second heating device is mounted on the liquid injection assembly. When the second heating device is powered on, it heats the liquid delivered to the cavity. That is, the second heating device heats the liquid during the liquid delivery process, so that the liquid entering the cavity is within a set temperature range. The liquid is then mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0041] The present invention provides a food processor with a first heating device for heating food in a cavity, and a second heating device for heating liquid delivered to the cavity. During operation, the food processor heats the food and liquid delivered to the cavity respectively by the first and second heating devices, and then uses hot water to dissolve the pulverized food. This prevents the pulverizing component from stirring the food and water mixture, which could cause the liquid to overflow from the cavity. This eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the food processor.

[0042] At the beginning of food processing, after placing the food into the cavity, in response to the user's instruction to start processing, the food processor is controlled to bake the food in the cavity, and the first heating device is powered on to heat the food in the baking cavity. After the first heating device is controlled to run for a first set time, the first heating device is controlled to stop running, completing the baking process of the food, so that the baked food is matured and dehydrated. At this time, the step of crushing the food begins, and the crushing component is controlled to start running. During the operation of the crushing component, the baked food is crushed. After the crushing component is controlled to run for a second set time, the crushing component is controlled to stop running, completing the crushing and grinding step of the food to prepare food powder. At this time, the liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to run simultaneously, the liquid injection component transports liquid into the cavity, the second heating device heats the liquid about to enter the cavity, and the heated liquid enters the cavity to mix the food powder, thereby completing the pulping process.

[0043] In one possible design, the value range of the first set duration is greater than 1 minute and less than 10 minutes.

[0044] In this design, the first set time length of the operation of the first heating device is in the range of 1 minute to 10 minutes, so that the food can be heated completely and the food can be prevented from being burned due to excessive heating.

[0045] In a possible design, the second set time length is in the range of greater than 1 minute and less than 5 minutes, so as to ensure the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0046] In addition, the control method of the food processor in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0047] In a possible design, before controlling the pulverizing component to operate at a set rotational speed, the method further includes: during the operation of the first heating device, controlling the pulverizing component to operate at a first set rotational speed.

[0048] In this design, before the food processor pulverizes the food in the cavity, the pulverizing assembly is controlled at a first set speed while the first heating device is operating, i.e., while the food processor is toasting the food. While the food in the cavity is being cooked at high temperature by the first heating device, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to stir the food in the cavity at the first set speed, thereby heating the food more evenly, improving the toasting effect, and achieving more thorough cooking and dehydration.

[0049] In a possible design, controlling the grinding component to grind the food in the cavity specifically includes: controlling the grinding component to operate at a second set speed, wherein the second set speed is greater than the first set speed.

[0050] In this design, when the food processor crushes the food in the cavity, the operation of the crushing component is controlled according to a second set speed that is greater than the first set speed, so that the crushing component runs at a higher speed to crush and grind the food in the cavity to produce food powder.

[0051] It can be understood that the first set speed is set to be lower than the second set speed because there is no need to crush and grind the ingredients during the baking process. The main purpose of the crushing component operation during the baking stage is to stir the ingredients to ensure that the ingredients are in motion, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the ingredients. Therefore, the crushing component is controlled to stir the ingredients in the cavity at a slower speed. On the basis of ensuring that the ingredients are fully heated, the problem of the ingredients being smashed during the baking process is avoided.

[0052] In a possible design, the second set speed ranges from 9000 rpm to 10000 rpm, thereby ensuring the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0053] In one possible design, the crushing component is controlled to operate at a first set speed to crush the food in the cavity until a second set time is reached, and it also includes: during the operation of the liquid injection component, the crushing component is controlled to operate at a third set speed; wherein the third set speed is less than the second set speed.

[0054] In this design, when the food processor is injecting liquid into the pulverized food, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to operate at a third set speed that is lower than the second set speed. During the injection process, the pulverizing assembly rotates at a slower speed, stirring the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity, thereby improving the mixing uniformity between the pulverized food and the mixture, and thus improving the pulping effect.

[0055] The liquid injection assembly includes: a liquid storage box, a liquid delivery pipe, a first valve body and a pumping device.

[0056] The liquid storage tank is arranged on the shell, one end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the liquid storage tank, the other end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the cavity, the second heating device is arranged on the liquid infusion tube, and the pumping device and the first valve body are installed on the liquid infusion tube.

[0057] In this design, the liquid injection assembly includes a liquid storage tank, which is installed in the shell and is used to store liquid for brewing the crushed food. The liquid injection assembly also includes an infusion tube, the two ends of which are connected to the liquid storage tank and the cavity respectively. The liquid stored in the liquid storage tank can be transported to the cavity through the infusion tube to brew the crushed food in the cavity. The second heating device is installed on the infusion tube. The second heating device can quickly heat the liquid flowing in the infusion tube, allowing the higher temperature liquid to enter the cavity to brew the crushed food. The second heating device is an instant electric heating device that can quickly heat the liquid in the infusion tube. By arranging the second heating device on the infusion tube to heat the liquid in the infusion tube, compared with the solution of directly heating the liquid in the liquid storage tank in the related art, it avoids repeated heating of the liquid in the liquid storage tank, reduces energy waste, increases the speed of delivering hot water to the cavity, and reduces the waiting time of the user.

[0058] The liquid injection assembly also includes a pumping device mounted on the infusion tube. When powered, the pumping device drives the liquid in the infusion tube into the cavity. The pumping device is mounted between the second heating device and the liquid reservoir, ensuring that the liquid pumped by the pumping device is pre-heated, thus preventing damage to the pumping device due to excessively high temperatures of the liquid flowing through it.

[0059] The liquid injection assembly also includes a first valve body. The first valve body is mounted on the liquid infusion tube. When water is not needed to be delivered to the cavity, the user can control the first valve body to be closed, preventing liquid in the liquid reservoir from flowing into the liquid infusion tube. This allows the user to control whether to deliver liquid to the cavity according to their own wishes, thereby improving the controllability of the liquid injection assembly.

[0060] It can be understood that in the process of controlling the liquid injection component to run for the third set time, it is ensured that the first valve body is in the open state for the third set time, and the pumping device and the second heating device continue to run for the third set time, so as to ensure that the temperature and flow rate of the liquid delivered to the cavity meet the requirements for the preparation of the crushed food.

[0061] In a possible design, the third set speed ranges from 500 rpm to 2000 rpm.

[0062] In this design, the third set speed is limited to less than 2000 revolutions per minute, which can prevent the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity from splashing due to excessive rotation of the crushing component. The third set speed is limited to greater than 500 revolutions per minute to ensure uniform stirring of the food.

[0063] In one possible design, the food processor includes a discharge device, which is used to discharge the material in the cavity, control the operation of the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, and control the operation of the second heating device to heat the liquid injected into the cavity. It also includes: controlling the operation of the discharge device to discharge the material in the cavity.

[0064] This design also includes a discharge device. This device is mounted on the sidewall of the housing. Once the food processor has finished processing the food, the through-hole discharge device discharges the processed food out of the cavity. By installing a corresponding discharge device on the housing, processed food can be discharged from the cavity without disassembling the food processor. Compared to related art methods that use a detachable cup to pour food out of the food processor, the food processor of this invention has the advantage of being smaller.

[0065] After the food powder in the cavity is mixed through the operation of the liquid injection component, slurry food is prepared. By controlling the operation of the discharge device, the slurry food can be discharged out of the food processor. The user does not need to manually pour out the slurry food in the cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0066] In one possible design, the discharge device includes: a discharge pipe, which is arranged on the side wall of the shell and is connected to the cavity; and a second valve body, which is arranged on the discharge pipe.

[0067] In this design, the discharge device includes a discharge pipe and a second valve body. The second valve body is installed on the discharge pipe and can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe. The second valve body can be optionally a solenoid control valve, and the discharge state of the food in the cavity can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing state of the second valve body. When the user needs to discharge the material in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the open state, and the material in the cavity can be discharged from the food processor through the discharge pipe. When the food processor is running to process the food in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the closed state to prevent the food from overflowing.

[0068] It is worth noting that the control method of a food processor proposed in any possible design in the second aspect of the present invention can be used to control the food processor in any possible design in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0069] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a control device of a food processor is proposed. The food processor includes: a cavity, a crushing component, a first heating device, a liquid injection component and a second heating device. The food processor includes: a first control unit, which is used to control the first heating device to heat the food in the cavity in response to a start cooking instruction until a first set time is reached; a second control unit, which is used to control the crushing component to operate at a first set speed to crush the food in the cavity until a second set time is reached; a third control unit, which is used to control the operation of the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, and control the operation of the second heating device to heat the liquid injected into the cavity.

[0070] The control device provided by the present invention is used for a food processor, which includes a housing, a crushing assembly, a first heating device, a liquid injection assembly, and a second heating device. The cavity of the food processor is disposed within the housing, and the cavity is used to accommodate food. The crushing assembly is disposed within the housing, and the crushing assembly's whipping mechanism is located within the cavity. During operation of the crushing assembly, the whipping mechanism rotates within the cavity to crush and process the food within the cavity. The first heating device is mounted within the housing, and is mounted near the cavity. When the first heating device is powered on, it generates heat and can heat the food within the cavity. The liquid injection assembly is mounted within the housing, and is connected to the cavity. When the liquid injection assembly is powered on, it can deliver liquid into the cavity. The second heating device is mounted on the liquid injection assembly. When the second heating device is powered on, it heats the liquid delivered to the cavity. That is, the second heating device heats the liquid during the liquid delivery process, so that the liquid entering the cavity is within a set temperature range. The liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0071] The present invention provides a food processor with a first heating device for heating food in a cavity, and a second heating device for heating liquid delivered to the cavity. During operation, the food processor heats the food and liquid delivered to the cavity respectively by the first and second heating devices, and then uses hot water to dissolve the pulverized food. This prevents the pulverizing component from stirring the food and water mixture, which could cause the liquid to overflow from the cavity. This eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the food processor.

[0072] At the beginning of food processing, after placing the food into the cavity, in response to the user's instruction to start processing, the food processor is controlled to bake the food in the cavity, and the first heating device is powered on to heat the food in the baking cavity. After the first heating device is controlled to run for a first set time, the first heating device is controlled to stop running, completing the baking process of the food, so that the baked food is matured and dehydrated. At this time, the step of crushing the food begins, and the crushing component is controlled to start running. During the operation of the crushing component, the baked food is crushed. After the crushing component is controlled to run for a second set time, the crushing component is controlled to stop running, completing the crushing and grinding step of the food to prepare food powder. At this time, the liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to run simultaneously, the liquid injection component transports liquid into the cavity, the second heating device heats the liquid about to enter the cavity, and the heated liquid enters the cavity to mix the food powder, thereby completing the pulping process.

[0073] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed, comprising: a control device for the food processor as defined in the third aspect above, and thus having all the beneficial technical effects of the control device for the food processor in the third aspect above, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0074] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a food processor is proposed, comprising: a memory, in which programs or instructions are stored; a processor, which executes the programs or instructions stored in the memory to implement the steps of the food processor control method in any possible design of the second aspect mentioned above, thereby having all the beneficial technical effects of the food processor control method in the second aspect mentioned above, and no further details will be given here.

Thus, the method has all the beneficial technical effects of the food processor control method described in any possible design of the second aspect, and no further details will be given here.

[0093] The crushing assembly 130 is disposed in the housing 110 and is used to crush the food in the cavity 112;

[0094] The first heating device 140 is disposed in the housing 110 and is used to heat the food in the cavity 112;

[0095] The liquid injection assembly 150 is connected to the cavity 112 and is used to inject liquid into the cavity 112;

[0096] The second heating device 160 is provided at the liquid injection assembly 150 and is used to heat the liquid output by the liquid injection assembly 150 .

[0097] This embodiment provides a food processor 100 comprising a housing 110, a crushing assembly 130, a first heating device 140, a liquid injection assembly 150, and a second heating device 160. A cavity 112 of the food processor 100 is disposed within the housing 110 and is used to accommodate food. The crushing assembly 130 is disposed within the housing 110, and a whipping mechanism of the crushing assembly 130 is located within the cavity 112. During operation, the whipping mechanism rotates within the cavity 112 to crush and process the food within the cavity 112. The first heating device 140 is mounted within the housing 110 and is positioned near the cavity 112. When powered on, the first heating device 140 generates heat that can heat the food within the cavity 112. The liquid injection assembly 150 is mounted within the housing 110 and is in communication with the cavity 112. When powered on, the liquid injection assembly 150 can deliver liquid into the cavity 112. The second heating device 160 is installed on the liquid injection component 150. When the second heating device 160 is powered on, it heats the liquid transported into the cavity 112. That is, the second heating device 160 heats the liquid during the liquid transportation process, so that the liquid entering the cavity 112 is within the set temperature range. The liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0098] The present invention provides a first heating device 140 for heating food in a cavity 112, and a second heating device 160 for heating liquid transported into the cavity 112, within the food processor 100. During operation of the food processor 100, the food and liquid transported into the cavity 112 are heated by the first heating device 140 and the second heating device 160, respectively, and the ground food is then diluted with hot water. This prevents the liquid from overflowing from the cavity 112 due to the stirring of the food and water mixture by the grinding assembly 130, eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity 112, and reduces the overall footprint of the food processor 100.

[0099] The second heating device 160 is an instant electric heating device.

[0100] The food processor 100 is used to prepare beverages such as soy milk. The ingredients are placed in the cavity 112 of the food processor 100, and the first heating device 140 is controlled to operate to bake the ingredients at high temperature to mature the ingredients, and the moisture in the ingredients is discharged from the ingredients by heat to dry the ingredients. After the baking stage is completed, the crushing component 130 is controlled to operate to crush the mature and dehydrated ingredients to prepare crushed ingredients. The liquid injection component 150 and the second heating device 160 are controlled to operate simultaneously, and the liquid injection component 150 supplies water to the cavity 112. During the water supply process, the second heating device 160 heats the supplied water so that the water supplied to the cavity 112 is hot water, thereby preparing the crushed ingredients and completing the pulping step.

[0101] In some embodiments, after the food is put into the food processor 100, in order to improve the baking effect, while controlling the operation of the first heating device 140, the crushing assembly 130 is controlled to rotate at a low speed to mix the food so that the food is evenly baked.

[0102] In these embodiments, during the preparation of soy milk by the food processor 100, beans are placed in the cavity 112, and the first heating device 140 and the grinding assembly 130 are controlled to operate simultaneously. The beating mechanism of the grinding assembly 130 rotates slowly within the cavity 112, causing the beans to be in motion within the cavity 112, thereby improving the roasting effect of the beans. After roasting is completed, the first heating device 140 is controlled to stop operating, and the grinding assembly 130 is controlled to increase its rotation speed. After the increase in the rotation speed of the grinding assembly 130, the roasted beans are pulverized to produce soy powder. The liquid injection assembly 150 and the second heating device 160 are controlled to operate, and hot water is delivered to the cavity 112 to prepare soy milk by mixing the soy powder. During the mixing process, the grinding assembly 130 is controlled to reduce its rotation speed to stir the prepared soy milk, thereby improving the uniformity of the mixing of the soy powder and water.

[0103] In any of the above embodiments, the liquid injection assembly 150 includes: a liquid storage tank 152 and a liquid infusion tube 154.

[0104] The liquid storage tank 152 is disposed on the housing 110;

[0105] One end of the liquid infusion tube 154 is connected to the liquid storage tank 152 , and the other end of the liquid infusion tube 154 is connected to the cavity 112 . The second heating device 160 is disposed on the liquid infusion tube 154 .

[0106] In this embodiment, the liquid injection assembly 150 includes a liquid storage tank 152, which is installed in the shell 110. The liquid storage tank 152 is used to store liquid for brewing the crushed food. The liquid injection assembly 150 also includes an infusion tube 154. The two ends of the infusion tube 154 are respectively connected to the liquid storage tank 152 and the cavity 112. The liquid stored in the liquid storage tank 152 can be transported to the cavity 112 through the infusion tube 154 to brew the crushed food in the cavity 112. The second heating device 160 is installed on the infusion tube 154. The second heating device 160 can quickly heat the liquid flowing in the infusion tube 154, so that the higher temperature liquid enters the cavity 112 to brew the crushed food. The second heating device 160 is an instant electric heating device that can quickly heat the liquid in the infusion tube 154. By arranging the second heating device 160 on the infusion tube 154, the liquid in the infusion tube 154 is heated. Compared with the solution of directly heating the liquid in the liquid storage tank 152 in the related art, the repeated heating of the liquid in the liquid storage tank 152 is avoided, the waste of energy is reduced, the speed of delivering hot water to the cavity 112 is increased, and the waiting time of the user is shortened.

[0107] In some embodiments, a liquid inlet is provided on the housing 110. The liquid injection assembly 150 further includes a liquid inlet pipe, a first end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid storage tank 152, and a second end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the liquid inlet.

[0108] In these embodiments, the user can refill the liquid in the liquid reservoir 152 through the liquid inlet. This allows the user to refill the liquid reservoir 152 without removing the liquid reservoir 152 from the housing 110, thereby reducing the number of connections between the liquid reservoir 152 and the housing 110 and making the food processor 100 more compact.

[0109] In any of the above embodiments, the liquid injection assembly 150 further includes: a pumping device 156.

[0110] The pumping device 156 is disposed on the liquid delivery tube 154 , and is located between the second heating device 160 and the liquid storage tank 152 .

[0111] In this embodiment, the liquid injection assembly 150 further includes a pumping device 156 mounted on the liquid infusion tube 154. When powered, the pumping device 156 can drive the liquid in the liquid infusion tube 154 to flow into the cavity 112. The pumping device 156 is mounted between the second heating device 160 and the liquid reservoir 152 so that the liquid pumped by the pumping device 156 is pre-heated, thereby preventing damage to the pumping device 156 due to excessively high temperatures of the liquid flowing through the pumping device 156.

[0112] In any of the above embodiments, the liquid injection assembly 150 further includes a first valve body.

[0113] The first valve body is disposed on the liquid delivery tube 154 , and the first valve body is located between the pumping device 156 and the liquid storage tank 152 .

[0114] In this embodiment, the liquid injection assembly 150 further includes a first valve body. The first valve body is mounted on the liquid infusion tube 154. When water is not needed to be delivered to the cavity 112, the user can control the first valve body to be closed, preventing the liquid in the liquid storage tank 152 from flowing into the liquid infusion tube 154. This allows the user to control whether to deliver liquid to the cavity 112, thereby improving the controllability of the liquid injection assembly 150.

[0115] It can be understood that the first valve body is selected as an electromagnetic control valve, and the flow state of the infusion tube 154 can be controlled by controlling the switching state of the first valve body.

[0116] In any of the above embodiments, the shredding assembly 130 includes a shredding blade 132 and a driving member 134 .

[0117] The crushing blade 132 is disposed in the cavity 112;

[0118] The driving member 134 is disposed in the housing 110 . The output end of the driving member 134 is connected to the crushing blade 132 . The driving member 134 is used to drive the crushing blade 132 to rotate.

[0119] In this embodiment, the crushing assembly 130 includes a crushing blade 132 and a driving member 134. The crushing blade 132 is located in the cavity 112. When the driving member 134 is powered on, it drives the crushing blade 132 to rotate in the cavity 112, and the crushing blade 132 can beat and crush the food in the cavity 112.

[0120] It is understandable that the speed at which the driving member 134 drives the crushing blades 132 to rotate is adjustable. During the process of crushing the food, the driving member 134 controls the crushing blades 132 to rotate at a first set speed, so that the food is beaten and crushed to form food powder. During the process of baking the food by the first heating device 140, the driving member 134 controls the crushing blades 132 to rotate at a second set speed, so that the food is in motion during the heating process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of heating of the food. When liquid is injected into the cavity 112 through the liquid injection component 150 to mix the crushed food, the driving member 134 controls the crushing blades 132 to rotate at a third set speed, so that the food and liquid are stirred, thereby improving the mixing uniformity between the food powder and the liquid. Among them, the second set speed and the third set speed are both lower than the first set speed.

[0121] In some embodiments, the driving member 134 is selected as a motor, and the rotation speed of the crushing blade 132 can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the motor.

[0122] In any of the above embodiments, the first heating device 140 is disposed on the bottom wall of the cavity 112 , the first heating device 140 is located inside the cavity 112 , and / or the first heating device 140 is located outside the cavity 112 .

[0123] In this embodiment, the first heating device 140 can be disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cavity 112 and / or the outer bottom wall of the cavity 112. Placing the first heating device 140 on the bottom wall of the cavity 112 allows heat from the first heating device 140 to be transferred into the cavity 112 through the bottom wall, thereby improving the heating effect on the material in the cavity 112.

[0124] In any of the above embodiments, the food processor 100 further includes a discharge device 170 .

[0125] The discharge device 170 is disposed on a side wall of the housing 110 . The discharge device 170 is in communication with the cavity 112 . The discharge device 170 is used to discharge the material in the cavity 112 .

[0126] In this embodiment, the food processor 100 further includes a discharge device 170. The discharge device 170 is mounted on the sidewall of the housing 110. After the food processor 100 has processed the food, the through-hole discharge device 170 can discharge the processed food out of the cavity 112. By providing a corresponding discharge device 170 on the housing 110 for discharge, the processed food in the cavity 112 can be discharged from the food processor 100 without disassembling the food processor 100. Compared to related art methods that use a detachable cup to pour food out of the food processor, the food processor 100 of the present invention has the advantage of being smaller in size.

[0127] In any of the above embodiments, the discharge device 170 includes: a discharge pipe 172 and a second valve body 174 .

[0128] The discharge pipe 172 is provided on the side wall of the housing 110 and is in communication with the cavity 112 ;

[0129] The second valve body 174 is disposed on the discharge pipe 172 .

[0130] In this embodiment, the discharge device 170 includes a discharge pipe 172 and a second valve body 174. The second valve body 174 is installed on the discharge pipe 172, and the second valve body 174 can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 172. The second valve body 174 can be optionally an electromagnetic control valve, and the discharge state of the food in the cavity 112 can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing state of the second valve body 174. When the user needs to discharge the material in the cavity 112, the second valve body 174 is controlled to be in an open state, and the material in the cavity 112 can be discharged from the food processor 100 through the discharge pipe 172. When the food processor 100 is running to process the food in the cavity 112, the second valve body 174 is controlled to be in a closed state to prevent the food from overflowing.

[0131] In any of the above embodiments, the food processor 100 further includes a cover, and the shell 110 is further provided with an opening, which is communicated with the cavity 112 . The cover is provided on the shell 110 to seal the opening.

[0132] In this embodiment, the food processor 100 further includes a cover for sealing the opening. The cover is removably mounted on the opening of the housing 110. During operation, the cover engages with the opening of the housing 110 to prevent liquid in the cavity 112 from splashing out of the food processor 100 through the opening. When the food processor 100 is stopped, the user can remove the cover from the food processor 100 to facilitate cleaning of the cavity 112.

[0133] Example 2:

[0134] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a food processor. The food processor includes a housing 110 , a crushing assembly 130 , a first heating device 140 , a liquid injection assembly 150 and a second heating device 160 .

[0135] The food processor 100 includes a housing 110, a crushing assembly 130, a first heating device 140, a liquid injection assembly 150, and a second heating device 160. The housing 110 houses a cavity 112 for accommodating food. The crushing assembly 130 is disposed within the housing 110, and its whipping mechanism is located within the cavity 112. During operation, the crushing assembly 130 rotates within the cavity 112 to crush the food within the cavity 112. The first heating device 140 is mounted within the housing 110, positioned near the cavity 112. When powered on, the first heating device 140 generates heat, heating the food within the cavity 112. The liquid injection assembly 150 is mounted within the housing 110 and communicates with the cavity 112. When powered on, the liquid injection assembly 150 delivers liquid into the cavity 112. The second heating device 160 is installed on the liquid injection component 150. When the second heating device 160 is powered on, it heats the liquid transported into the cavity 112. That is, the second heating device 160 heats the liquid during the liquid transportation process, so that the liquid entering the cavity 112 is within the set temperature range. The liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0136] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the food processor includes:

[0137] Step 202: Control the first heating device to heat the food in the cavity according to the first set time.

[0138] Step 204: Control the crushing assembly to crush the food in the processing chamber according to the second set time;

[0139] Step 206 , controlling the liquid injection assembly to inject liquid into the cavity, and controlling the second heating device to operate to heat the liquid injected into the cavity.

[0140] At the beginning of food processing, after placing the food into the cavity, in response to the user's instruction to start processing, the food processor is controlled to bake the food in the cavity, and the first heating device is powered on to heat the food in the baking cavity. After the first heating device is controlled to run for a first set time, the first heating device is controlled to stop running, completing the baking process of the food, so that the baked food is matured and dehydrated. At this time, the step of crushing the food begins, and the crushing component is controlled to start running. During the operation of the crushing component, the baked food is crushed. After the crushing component is controlled to run for a second set time, the crushing component is controlled to stop running, completing the crushing and grinding step of the food to prepare food powder. At this time, the liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to run simultaneously, the liquid injection component transports liquid into the cavity, the second heating device heats the liquid about to enter the cavity, and the heated liquid enters the cavity to mix the food powder, thereby completing the pulping process.

[0141] The food processor is provided with a first heating device for heating food in a cavity, and a second heating device for heating liquid transported into the cavity. During operation of the food processor, the first heating device and the second heating device heat the food and the liquid transported into the cavity respectively, and the crushed food is then diluted with hot water. This prevents the liquid from overflowing from the cavity due to the stirring of the food and water mixture by the crushing component, eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity, and reduces the overall footprint of the food processor.

[0142] In the above embodiment, the value range of the first set time length is greater than 1 minute and less than 10 minutes.

[0143] In this embodiment, the first set time length of the first heating device is set to a value range of 1 minute to 10 minutes according to the third set speed, so that the food can be heated completely and the food can be prevented from being burned due to excessive heating.

[0144] In any of the above embodiments, the second set time length has a value range of greater than 1 minute and less than 5 minutes, so as to ensure the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0145] In any of the above embodiments, before controlling the pulverizing assembly to operate at a set rotational speed, the method further includes: controlling the pulverizing assembly to operate at a first set rotational speed during the operation of the first heating device.

[0146] In this embodiment, before the food processor pulverizes the food in the cavity, the pulverizing assembly is controlled at a first set speed while the first heating device is operating, i.e., while the food processor is toasting the food. While the food in the cavity is being cooked at high temperature by the first heating device, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to stir the food in the cavity at the first set speed, thereby ensuring more even heating of the food, improving the toasting effect, and achieving more thorough cooking and dehydration of the food.

[0147] In any of the above embodiments, controlling the grinding component to grind the food in the cavity specifically includes: controlling the grinding component to operate according to a second set speed, wherein the second set speed is greater than the first set speed.

[0148] In this embodiment, when the food processor crushes the food in the cavity, the operation of the crushing component is controlled according to a second set speed that is greater than the first set speed, so that the crushing component runs at a higher speed to crush and grind the food in the cavity to produce food powder.

[0149] It can be understood that the first set speed is set to be lower than the second set speed because there is no need to crush and grind the ingredients during the baking process. The main purpose of the crushing component operation during the baking stage is to stir the ingredients to ensure that the ingredients are in motion, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the ingredients. Therefore, the crushing component is controlled to stir the ingredients in the cavity at a slower speed. On the basis of ensuring that the ingredients are fully heated, the problem of the ingredients being smashed during the baking process is avoided.

[0150] In any of the above embodiments, the second set rotation speed ranges from 9000 rpm to 10000 rpm, thereby ensuring the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0151] In any of the above embodiments, controlling the crushing component to operate at a first set speed to crush the food in the cavity until a second set time is reached, also includes: during the operation of the liquid injection component, controlling the crushing component to operate at a third set speed; wherein the third set speed is less than the second set speed.

[0152] In this embodiment, when the food processor is injecting liquid into the pulverized food, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to operate at a third set speed that is lower than the second set speed. During the liquid injection process, the pulverizing assembly rotates at a slower speed, stirring the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing between the pulverized food and the mixture, thereby improving the pulping effect.

[0153] The liquid injection assembly includes: a liquid storage box, a liquid delivery pipe, a first valve body and a pumping device.

[0154] The liquid storage tank is arranged on the shell, one end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the liquid storage tank, the other end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the cavity, the second heating device is arranged on the liquid infusion tube, and the pumping device and the first valve body are installed on the liquid infusion tube.

[0155] In this embodiment, the liquid injection assembly includes a liquid storage tank, which is installed in the housing and is used to store liquid for brewing the crushed food. The liquid injection assembly also includes an infusion tube, the two ends of which are connected to the liquid storage tank and the cavity respectively. The liquid stored in the liquid storage tank can be transported to the cavity through the infusion tube to brew the crushed food in the cavity. A second heating device is installed on the infusion tube. The second heating device can quickly heat the liquid flowing in the infusion tube, allowing the higher temperature liquid to enter the cavity to brew the crushed food. The second heating device is an instant electric heating device that can quickly heat the liquid in the infusion tube. By arranging the second heating device on the infusion tube to heat the liquid in the infusion tube, compared to the solution of directly heating the liquid in the liquid storage tank in the related art, it avoids repeated heating of the liquid in the liquid storage tank, reduces energy waste, increases the speed of delivering hot water to the cavity, and reduces the waiting time for the user.

[0156] The liquid injection assembly also includes a pumping device mounted on the infusion tube. When powered, the pumping device drives the liquid in the infusion tube into the cavity. The pumping device is mounted between the second heating device and the liquid reservoir, ensuring that the liquid pumped by the pumping device is pre-heated, thus preventing damage to the pumping device due to excessively high temperatures of the liquid flowing through it.

[0157] The liquid injection assembly also includes a first valve body. The first valve body is mounted on the liquid infusion tube. When water is not needed to be delivered to the cavity, the user can control the first valve body to be closed, preventing liquid in the liquid reservoir from flowing into the liquid infusion tube. This allows the user to control whether to deliver liquid to the cavity according to their own wishes, thereby improving the controllability of the liquid injection assembly.

[0158] It can be understood that in the process of controlling the liquid injection component to run for the third set time, it is ensured that the first valve body is in the open state for the third set time, and the pumping device and the second heating device continue to run for the third set time, so as to ensure that the temperature and flow rate of the liquid delivered to the cavity meet the requirements for the preparation of the crushed food.

[0159] In any of the above embodiments, the third set speed ranges from 500 rpm to 2000 rpm.

[0160] In this embodiment, the third set speed is limited to less than 2000 revolutions per minute, which can prevent the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity from splashing due to excessive rotation of the crushing component. The third set speed is limited to greater than 500 revolutions per minute, which can ensure uniform stirring of the food.

[0161] In any of the above embodiments, the food processor includes a discharge device, which is used to discharge the material in the cavity, control the operation of the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, and control the operation of the second heating device. After heating the liquid injected into the cavity, it also includes: controlling the operation of the discharge device to discharge the material in the cavity.

[0162] In this embodiment, the food processor also includes a discharge device. This discharge device is mounted on the side wall of the housing. After the food processor has processed the food, the through-hole discharge device discharges the processed food out of the cavity. By providing a corresponding discharge device on the housing, processed food in the cavity can be discharged from the food processor without disassembling the food processor. Compared to related art methods that use a detachable cup to pour food out of the food processor, the food processor of this invention has the advantage of being smaller in size.

[0163] After the food powder in the cavity is mixed through the operation of the liquid injection component, slurry food is prepared. By controlling the operation of the discharge device, the slurry food can be discharged out of the food processor. The user does not need to manually pour out the slurry food in the cavity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0164] In any of the above embodiments, the discharge device includes: a discharge pipe, which is arranged on the side wall of the shell and is connected to the cavity; and a second valve body, which is arranged on the discharge pipe.

[0165] In this embodiment, the discharge device includes a discharge pipe and a second valve body. The second valve body is mounted on the discharge pipe and can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe. The second valve body can optionally be a solenoid control valve, and the discharge state of the food in the cavity can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing state of the second valve body. When the user needs to discharge the material in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the open state, and the material in the cavity can be discharged from the food processor through the discharge pipe. When the food processor is operating to process the food in the cavity, the second valve body is controlled to be in the closed state to prevent the food from overflowing.

[0166] It is worth noting that the control method of a food processor proposed in any possible design in the second aspect of the present invention can be used to control the food processor in any possible design in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0167] Example 3:

[0168] like Figure 1 As shown, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a food processor. The food processor includes a housing 110 , a crushing assembly 130 , a first heating device 140 , a liquid injection assembly 150 and a second heating device 160 .

[0169] The food processor 100 includes a housing 110, a crushing assembly 130, a first heating device 140, a liquid injection assembly 150, and a second heating device 160. The housing 110 houses a cavity 112 for accommodating food. The crushing assembly 130 is disposed within the housing 110, and its whipping mechanism is located within the cavity 112. During operation, the crushing assembly 130 rotates within the cavity 112 to crush the food within the cavity 112. The first heating device 140 is mounted within the housing 110, positioned near the cavity 112. When powered on, the first heating device 140 generates heat, heating the food within the cavity 112. The liquid injection assembly 150 is mounted within the housing 110 and communicates with the cavity 112. When powered on, the liquid injection assembly 150 delivers liquid into the cavity 112. The second heating device 160 is installed on the liquid injection component 150. When the second heating device 160 is powered on, it heats the liquid transported into the cavity 112. That is, the second heating device 160 heats the liquid during the liquid transportation process, so that the liquid entering the cavity 112 is within the set temperature range. The liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0170] like Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the food processor includes:

[0171] Step 302, controlling the first heating device to operate, and controlling the crushing assembly to operate at a first set speed for a first set time;

[0172] Step 304, controlling the pulverizing assembly to operate for a second set time period according to a second set rotational speed;

[0173] Step 306, controlling the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, controlling the second heating device to operate to heat the liquid injected into the cavity, and controlling the crushing component to operate according to the third set speed;

[0174] Step 308: Control the discharge device to discharge the food in the cavity.

[0175] The second set speed is greater than the first set speed, and the second set speed is greater than the third set speed.

[0176] In this embodiment, at the beginning of food processing, after placing food into the cavity, the food processor is controlled to bake the food in the cavity in response to a user's instruction to start processing. During the operation of the first heating device, that is, during the process of the food processor baking the food, the crushing assembly is controlled according to a first set speed. During the process of the food in the cavity being baked at high temperature by the first heating device, the crushing assembly is controlled to stir the food in the cavity at the first set speed, so that the food is heated more evenly, the baking effect of the food is improved, and the food is cooked and dehydrated more thoroughly. After the first heating device is controlled to operate for the first set time, the first heating device is controlled to stop operating, completing the baking process of the food, so that the baked food is cooked and dehydrated.

[0177] The step of crushing the food material is started, and the crushing component is controlled to start running. During the operation of the crushing component, the baked food material is crushed. After the crushing component is controlled to run for a second set time, the crushing component is controlled to stop running, completing the crushing and grinding steps of the food material to prepare food material powder.

[0178] The liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to operate simultaneously, the liquid injection component transports liquid into the cavity, the second heating device heats the liquid that is about to enter the cavity, the heated liquid enters the cavity to mix the food powder, and at the same time, the rotation speed of the crushing component is reduced so that the crushing component operates at a third set speed to stir the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity, thereby completing the pulping process.

[0179] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a method for controlling a food processor includes:

[0180] During the baking phase, the first heating device bakes the food placed in the cavity at high temperature for a period of more than 1 minute and less than 10 minutes. The baking temperature is maintained above 60 degrees Celsius. During the baking process, the crushing component operates to stir the food evenly to ensure that the food is evenly baked.

[0181] In the crushing stage, no water is added to the cavity, and the ingredients baked in the baking stage are crushed by the crushing component. The rotation speed of the crushing blade of the crushing component is greater than 9000rpm, and the crushing time is not less than 1 minute, thereby ensuring the crushing effect of the ingredients.

[0182] The brewing stage involves adding water to the cavity through the liquid injection component to brew the ingredients crushed in the crushing stage. During the brewing stage, the water is heated by the second heating device and then transported to the cavity for brewing. During brewing, the crushing blades of the crushing component rotate at a low speed to evenly mix the crushed ingredients with the water. The speed of the crushing blades during the low-speed stirring and mixing process is less than 2000 rpm, and the mixing time is greater than 1 minute.

[0183] During the slurry discharge stage, the evenly mixed slurry is discharged through the discharge device.

[0184] Example 4:

[0185] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a control device 500 for a food processor.

[0186] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the food processor includes a housing 110 , a crushing assembly 130 , a first heating device 140 , a liquid injection assembly 150 and a second heating device 160 .

[0187] The food processor 100 includes a housing 110, a crushing assembly 130, a first heating device 140, a liquid injection assembly 150, and a second heating device 160. The housing 110 houses a cavity 112 for accommodating food. The crushing assembly 130 is disposed within the housing 110, and its whipping mechanism is located within the cavity 112. During operation, the crushing assembly 130 rotates within the cavity 112 to crush the food within the cavity 112. The first heating device 140 is mounted within the housing 110, positioned near the cavity 112. When powered on, the first heating device 140 generates heat, heating the food within the cavity 112. The liquid injection assembly 150 is mounted within the housing 110 and communicates with the cavity 112. When powered on, the liquid injection assembly 150 delivers liquid into the cavity 112. The second heating device 160 is installed on the liquid injection component 150. When the second heating device 160 is powered on, it heats the liquid transported into the cavity 112. That is, the second heating device 160 heats the liquid during the liquid transportation process, so that the liquid entering the cavity 112 is within the set temperature range. The liquid is mixed with the crushed food to complete the preparation of the slurry food.

[0188] like Figure 5 As shown, the control device 500 of the food processor includes:

[0189] A first control unit 502 is configured to control the first heating device to heat the food in the cavity according to a first set duration;

[0190] The second control unit 504 is used to control the crushing component to crush the food in the processing chamber according to the second set time;

[0191] The third control unit 506 is used to control the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, and control the second heating device to operate to heat the liquid injected into the cavity.

[0192] The control device provided in this embodiment controls the food processor to bake the food in the cavity at the beginning of food processing, after placing the food into the cavity, in response to a user's instruction to start processing. The control device powers on the first heating device to heat the food in the baking cavity. After the first heating device is controlled to operate for a first set time, the control device stops operating, completing the baking process of the food, allowing the baked food to mature and dehydrate. At this point, the step of crushing the food begins, and the crushing component is controlled to start operating. During the operation of the crushing component, the crushing component crushes the baked food. After the crushing component is controlled to operate for a second set time, the control device stops operating, completing the crushing and grinding process of the food to prepare food powder. At this point, the liquid injection component and the second heating device are controlled to operate simultaneously. The liquid injection component delivers liquid into the cavity, and the second heating device heats the liquid about to enter the cavity. The heated liquid enters the cavity to dissolve the food powder, thereby completing the pulping process.

[0193] The food processor is provided with a first heating device for heating food in a cavity, and a second heating device for heating liquid transported into the cavity. During operation of the food processor, the first heating device and the second heating device heat the food and the liquid transported into the cavity respectively, and the crushed food is then diluted with hot water. This prevents the liquid from overflowing from the cavity due to the stirring of the food and water mixture by the crushing component, eliminates the need to enlarge the cavity, and reduces the overall footprint of the food processor.

[0194] In the above embodiment, the value range of the first set time length is greater than 1 minute and less than 10 minutes.

[0195] In this embodiment, the first set time length of the first heating device is set to a value range of 1 minute to 10 minutes according to the third set speed, so that the food can be heated completely and the food can be prevented from being burned due to excessive heating.

[0196] In any of the above embodiments, the second set time length has a value range of greater than 1 minute and less than 5 minutes, so as to ensure the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0197] In any of the above embodiments, the first control unit 502 is further configured to: during the operation of the first heating device, control the operation of the crushing assembly according to the first set rotational speed.

[0198] In this embodiment, before the food processor pulverizes the food in the cavity, the pulverizing assembly is controlled at a first set speed while the first heating device is operating, i.e., while the food processor is toasting the food. While the food in the cavity is being cooked at high temperature by the first heating device, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to stir the food in the cavity at the first set speed, thereby ensuring more even heating of the food, improving the toasting effect, and achieving more thorough cooking and dehydration of the food.

[0199] In any of the above embodiments, the second control unit 504 is further configured to control the operation of the crushing assembly according to a second set rotational speed, wherein the second set rotational speed is greater than the first set rotational speed.

[0200] In this embodiment, when the food processor crushes the food in the cavity, the operation of the crushing component is controlled according to a second set speed that is greater than the first set speed, so that the crushing component runs at a higher speed to crush and grind the food in the cavity to produce food powder.

[0201] It can be understood that the first set speed is set to be lower than the second set speed because there is no need to crush and grind the ingredients during the baking process. The main purpose of the crushing component operation during the baking stage is to stir the ingredients to ensure that the ingredients are in motion, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the ingredients. Therefore, the crushing component is controlled to stir the ingredients in the cavity at a slower speed. On the basis of ensuring that the ingredients are fully heated, the problem of the ingredients being smashed during the baking process is avoided.

[0202] In any of the above embodiments, the second set rotation speed ranges from 9000 rpm to 10000 rpm, thereby ensuring the crushing effect of the food in the cavity.

[0203] In any of the above embodiments, the third control unit 506 is further configured to: during the operation of the liquid injection component, control the operation of the crushing component according to a third set speed; wherein the third set speed is less than the second set speed.

[0204] In this embodiment, when the food processor is injecting liquid into the pulverized food, the pulverizing assembly is controlled to operate at a third set speed that is lower than the second set speed. During the liquid injection process, the pulverizing assembly rotates at a slower speed, stirring the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing between the pulverized food and the mixture, thereby improving the pulping effect.

[0205] The liquid injection assembly includes: a liquid storage box, a liquid delivery pipe, a first valve body and a pumping device.

[0206] The liquid storage tank is arranged on the shell, one end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the liquid storage tank, the other end of the liquid infusion tube is connected to the cavity, the second heating device is arranged on the liquid infusion tube, and the pumping device and the first valve body are installed on the liquid infusion tube.

[0207] In this embodiment, the liquid injection assembly includes a liquid storage tank, which is installed in the housing and is used to store liquid for brewing the crushed food. The liquid injection assembly also includes an infusion tube, the two ends of which are connected to the liquid storage tank and the cavity respectively. The liquid stored in the liquid storage tank can be transported to the cavity through the infusion tube to brew the crushed food in the cavity. A second heating device is installed on the infusion tube. The second heating device can quickly heat the liquid flowing in the infusion tube, allowing the higher temperature liquid to enter the cavity to brew the crushed food. The second heating device is an instant electric heating device that can quickly heat the liquid in the infusion tube. By arranging the second heating device on the infusion tube to heat the liquid in the infusion tube, compared to the solution of directly heating the liquid in the liquid storage tank in the related art, it avoids repeated heating of the liquid in the liquid storage tank, reduces energy waste, increases the speed of delivering hot water to the cavity, and reduces the waiting time for the user.

[0208] The liquid injection assembly also includes a pumping device mounted on the infusion tube. When powered, the pumping device drives the liquid in the infusion tube into the cavity. The pumping device is mounted between the second heating device and the liquid reservoir, ensuring that the liquid pumped by the pumping device is pre-heated, thus preventing damage to the pumping device due to excessively high temperatures of the liquid flowing through it.

[0209] The liquid injection assembly also includes a first valve body. The first valve body is mounted on the liquid infusion tube. When water is not needed to be delivered to the cavity, the user can control the first valve body to be closed, preventing liquid in the liquid reservoir from flowing into the liquid infusion tube. This allows the user to control whether to deliver liquid to the cavity according to their own wishes, thereby improving the controllability of the liquid injection assembly.

[0210] It can be understood that in the process of controlling the liquid injection component to run for the third set time, it is ensured that the first valve body is in the open state for the third set time, and the pumping device and the second heating device continue to run for the third set time, so as to ensure that the temperature and flow rate of the liquid delivered to the cavity meet the requirements for the preparation of the crushed food.

[0211] In any of the above embodiments, the third set speed ranges from 500 rpm to 2000 rpm.

[0212] In this embodiment, the third set speed is limited to less than 2000 revolutions per minute, which can prevent the mixture of food and liquid in the cavity from splashing due to excessive rotation of the crushing component. The third set speed is limited to greater than 500 revolutions per minute, which can ensure uniform stirring of the food.

[0213] In any of the above embodiments, the food processor includes a discharge device, which is used to discharge the material in the cavity, control the operation of the liquid injection component to inject liquid into the cavity, and control the operation of the second heating device. After heating the liquid injected into the cavity, it also includes: controlling the operation of the discharge device to discharge the material in the cavity.

[0214] In this embodiment, the food processor also includes a discharge device. This discharge device is mounted on the side wall of the housing. After the food processor has processed the food, the through-hole discharge device discharges the processed food out of the cavity. By providing a corresponding discharge device on the housing, processed food in the cavity can be discharged from the food processor without disassembling the food processor. Compared to related art methods that use a detachable cup to pour food out of the food processor, the food processor of this invention has the advantage of being smaller in size.

[0215] After the food powder in the cavity is mixed through the operation of the liquid injection component, slurry food is prepared. By controlling the operation of the discharge device, the slurry food can be discharged out of the food processor. The user does not need to manually pour out the slurry food in the cavity, thereby improving the user experience.
