Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing machines, and in particular to a pulp discharge method of a food processing machine and a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, self-cleaning food processors have become a necessity of life, such as self-cleaning wall breaking machines and self-cleaning soy milk machines. When the self-cleaning food processor is working, users may not want to continue making food due to various reasons. In order to meet user needs, some self-cleaning food processors are equipped with a "cancel" function to terminate processing.

[0003] However, when the current self-cleaning food processor executes the "cancel" function, it will assume that the user does not need the slurry of the unfinished processing program, so the slurry will be directly discharged and the processing program will be terminated. However, some users want to keep the slurry of the unfinished processing program for other reasons. For example, because too much food is put in, the processing program needs to be canceled to reduce the amount of material discharged. Therefore, the direct discharge of the slurry in the prior art will cause inconvenience to the continued use of the food processor, such as food waste or pollution, etc., affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, how to control the pulp discharge of the food processor when executing the "cancel" function to avoid food waste or pollution, facilitate normal food processing, and improve user experience needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems described in the above background technology, the first purpose of this application is to propose a method for draining pulp from a food processor, which performs pulp drainage work during the processing stage of the food processor when a cancellation command is received. This solves the technical problem of how to control the pulp drainage of the food processor when executing the "cancel" function, thereby avoiding food waste or pollution and facilitating the continuation of normal food processing.

[0006] The second object of this application is to provide a food processing machine.

[0007] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for discharging pulp from a food processing machine, the food processing machine includes a stirrer and a liquid receiving device, the liquid receiving device includes at least a pulp receiving cup and a waste water box, the method for discharging pulp includes: obtaining a cancellation instruction, the cancellation instruction is used to instruct the food processing machine to cancel the current processing program; determining the processing stage of the food processing machine when the cancellation instruction is received, the processing stage includes at least a pulping stage and a cleaning stage; based on the processing stage, discharging pulp into the corresponding liquid receiving device. In this way, the pulp discharging work of the food processing machine when executing the cancellation instruction can be controlled, so that the pulp generated in different processing stages can be discharged into the corresponding liquid receiving device, avoiding food waste or pollution.

[0009] Optionally, discharging the slurry into the corresponding liquid receiving device based on the processing stage includes: discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup when the food processor is in the slurry making stage; discharging the slurry into the waste water box when the food processor is in the cleaning stage. In this way, when the food processor cancels the current processing program, the food slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup and the waste water slurry can be discharged into the waste water box, so as to avoid food waste or pollution and facilitate the food processor to continue processing.

[0010] Optionally, discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup further includes: determining whether the slurry receiving cup is in a first preset position; if the slurry receiving cup is in the first preset position, discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup; if the slurry receiving cup is not in the first preset position, outputting a first prohibition signal for prohibiting the discharge of the slurry, and outputting a first alarm signal. In this way, the slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup only when the slurry receiving cup is in the first preset position, ensuring that the food is not wasted. If the slurry receiving cup is not in the first preset position, the controller sends a first prohibition signal to prohibit the food processor from discharging the slurry, and outputs a first alarm signal to remind the user.

[0011] Optionally, when it is detected that the food processor is in the pulping stage, the pulping method further includes: obtaining the working time of the agitator; determining the preparatory working time of the agitator based on the working time; and controlling the agitator to continue working for the preparatory working time. In this way, the crushing effect of the food is judged based on the working time. If the working time of the agitator is not enough, the agitator is allowed to continue working for the preparatory working time to fully crush the food, so as to prevent the unprocessed pulp from containing large-volume food materials and blocking the pulp discharge valve during pulping, causing the food processor to get stuck.

[0012] Optionally, determining the preparatory working time of the blender based on the actual working time includes: obtaining the expected working time of the blender; judging whether the actual working time is less than the expected working time; when the actual working time is less than the expected working time, taking the difference between the actual working time and the expected working time as the preparatory working time. The expected working time is the minimum stirring time required to fully crush the ingredients, that is, when the sum of the working time and the preparatory working time is greater than or equal to the expected working time, it can ensure that the ingredients have been fully crushed and reduce the probability of valve sticking in the food processor. At this time, the slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup. Therefore, if the working time is less than the expected working time, it means that the ingredients are not fully crushed, and the blender needs to continue working for the preparatory working time before the food processor can discharge the slurry. Since the sum of the working time and the preparatory working time should be greater than or equal to the expected working time, it can be seen that the preparatory working time is at least the difference between the working time and the expected working time. In order to improve work efficiency, the difference between the working time and the expected working time is used as the preparatory working time.

[0013] Optionally, obtaining the required working time of the agitator includes: obtaining current processing information of the food processor, the processing information including attribute information of the processed food and / or current change information of the agitator during processing; and determining the required working time based on the processing information. Ensure that the food is fully crushed to ensure smooth pulp discharge and reduce the risk of valve sticking.

[0014] Optionally, the pulping method further includes: determining whether a processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program is obtained within a preset time period; when a processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program is obtained, controlling the food processor to skip the cleaning stage. In this way, when the cleaning stage has not yet been performed or is about to be performed, after the food processor obtains the cancel processing instruction, the user can issue a processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program again, control the food processor to skip the cleaning stage, and perform the processing program corresponding to the canceled processing program again, so as to facilitate pulping again and improve the user experience.

[0015] Optionally, before obtaining the cancellation instruction, the pulping method includes: determining whether a repeated processing instruction for indicating that the same processing program is executed multiple times is obtained; when the repeated processing instruction is obtained, after completing the pulping stage, the cleaning stage is skipped. Thus, the user can set the food processor in advance to skip the cleaning stage, which is convenient for the user to make pulp next time, thereby improving the user's operational autonomy.

[0016] Optionally, discharging the slurry into the wastewater box further includes: determining whether the wastewater box is in a second preset position; if the wastewater box is in the second preset position, discharging the slurry into the wastewater box; if the wastewater box is not in the second preset position, outputting a second prohibition signal for prohibiting the discharge of the slurry, and outputting a second alarm signal. In this way, only when the wastewater box is in the second preset position can the wastewater be discharged into the wastewater box, ensuring that the slurry receiving cup is not contaminated and preventing food contamination. If the wastewater box is not in the second preset position, the controller sends a second prohibition signal to prohibit the food processor from discharging wastewater, and outputs a second alarm signal to remind the user.

[0017] In order to achieve the third objective mentioned above, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0018] A food processor, comprising a processor, a memory, and an execution instruction stored in the memory, wherein the execution instruction is configured to enable the food processor to execute any one of the above-mentioned methods for draining pulp for the food processor when executed by the processor. Thus, the food processor can reduce the risk of food waste or contamination when it obtains a cancellation instruction to drain pulp. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, the specific embodiments of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent components with the same structure or similar structures but the same functions.

[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Aiming at the technical problem of how to control the pulp discharge of a food processor when executing the "cancel" function, so as to avoid food waste or pollution and facilitate the normal continuation of food processing, the present application proposes a pulp discharge method for a food processor. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a flow chart of a pulp discharge method in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the flow of a pulp discharge method in one embodiment of the present application.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the food processor may include a juicer, a soymilk machine, a coffee machine, a wall breaking machine and other food processors. The food processor may include a blender and a liquid receiving device, and the liquid receiving device includes at least a slurry receiving cup and a waste water box.

[0027] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the slurry may include food slurry and wastewater slurry.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 A method for discharging pulp from a food processor may include the following steps:

[0029] S10. Obtain a cancel instruction, which is used to instruct the food processor to cancel the current processing program. As an exemplary embodiment, when a processing program (such as water intake, stirring, cleaning, etc.) is in progress, the food processor cancels the current processing program after receiving the cancel instruction. As an exemplary embodiment, the issuance of the cancel instruction can be actively operated by the user, and the user can issue the cancel instruction to the food processor by pressing a button, touching, or remotely controlling.

[0030] S20. Determine the processing stage of the food processor when the cancellation instruction is received, and the processing stage includes at least the pulping stage and the cleaning stage. As an exemplary embodiment, before receiving the cancellation instruction, the food processor may be in any processing stage of the pulping stage and the cleaning stage. When receiving the cancellation instruction, it can be determined based on the working characteristics of the food processor in each working stage. For example, the current working stage can be determined by the working state of the motor. For example, the working current of the motor is different due to the different concentrations of the pulp and the cleaning wastewater in the pulping stage and the cleaning stage. Therefore, the working stage of the food processor can be determined by the magnitude of the working current of the motor. The working stage of the food processor can also be determined by the characteristics such as the motor speed and the processing chamber temperature. As another optional embodiment, the current stage can also be determined based on the working time of the food processor. For example, each processing stage in each processing technology has a preset processing time. Therefore, the current processing stage can be determined based on the comparison between the working time of the food processor and the preset processing time.

[0031] S30. Discharge the slurry into the corresponding liquid receiving device based on the processing stage. As an exemplary embodiment, the slurry is discharged into different liquid receiving devices when the food processing machine is in different processing stages, and the liquid receiving devices corresponding to at least two processing stages are different. Therefore, the slurry discharge work of the food processing machine when executing the cancel instruction can be controlled, so that the slurry generated in different processing stages can be discharged into the corresponding liquid receiving device, avoiding food waste or pollution.

[0032] At present, some food processing machines may directly discharge the slurry of the unfinished processing program and terminate the processing program after obtaining the cancellation instruction, resulting in the food slurry being discharged into the wastewater box or the wastewater slurry being discharged into the slurry receiving cup, causing food waste or pollution, and inconvenience for the food processing machine to continue processing. Therefore, as a preferred solution of the present invention, exemplarily, discharging the slurry into the corresponding liquid receiving device based on the processing stage may include: when the food processing machine is detected to be in the slurry making stage, the slurry is discharged into the slurry receiving cup; when the food processing machine is detected to be in the cleaning stage, the slurry is discharged into the wastewater box. In this way, it is ensured that when the food processing machine cancels the current processing program, the food slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup and the wastewater slurry can be discharged into the wastewater box, avoiding food waste or pollution and facilitating the food processing machine to continue processing.

[0033] As an exemplary embodiment, before the food processor cancels the current processing program and discharges the slurry, the user can choose to discharge the slurry into the slurry receiving cup or the waste water box as needed.

[0034] If the user needs slurry that has not completed the processing program, when discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup, if the slurry receiving cup is not in place, it may not be ensured that the food slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup, for example, the slurry is discharged into the surrounding environment. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, illustratively, discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup may also include: determining whether the slurry receiving cup is in a first preset position; if the slurry receiving cup is in the first preset position, discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup; if the slurry receiving cup is not in the first preset position, outputting a first prohibition signal for prohibiting the discharge of the slurry, and outputting a first alarm signal. In this way, when the user needs slurry that has not completed the processing program, the slurry can only be discharged into the slurry receiving cup when the slurry receiving cup is in the first preset position, ensuring that the food is not wasted. If the slurry receiving cup is not in the first preset position, the controller sends a first prohibition signal to prohibit the food processor from discharging the slurry, and outputs a first alarm signal to remind the user. As an exemplary embodiment, the first alarm signal may include a sound or light signal. The first alarm signal may also be sent through an external communication device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, personal computer, etc., to remind the user that the slurry receiving cup is not in the first preset position and the slurry cannot be discharged into the slurry receiving cup.

[0035] When the user does not need the slurry of the unfinished processing program, the food processor can directly discharge the slurry and discharge the slurry into the wastewater box. When the slurry is discharged into the wastewater box, if the wastewater box is not in place, it may not be ensured that the wastewater slurry can be discharged into the wastewater box, such as the wastewater is discharged into the surrounding environment. Therefore, as a preferred solution of the present invention, illustratively, discharging the slurry into the wastewater box can also include: judging whether the wastewater box is in the second preset position; if the wastewater box is in the second preset position, the slurry is discharged into the wastewater box; if the wastewater box is not in the second preset position, a second prohibition signal for prohibiting the discharge of the slurry is output, and a second alarm signal is output. In this way, when the user does not need the slurry of the unfinished processing program, only when the wastewater box is in the second preset position can the wastewater be discharged into the wastewater box, ensuring that the slurry receiving cup is not contaminated and preventing food contamination. If the wastewater box is not in the second preset position, the controller sends a second prohibition signal to prohibit the food processor from discharging wastewater, and outputs a second alarm signal to remind the user. As an exemplary embodiment, the second alarm signal may include a sound or light signal, and the second alarm signal may also be sent through an external communication device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, personal computer and other devices, to remind the user that the waste water box is not in the second preset position and the waste water cannot be discharged into the waste water box.

[0036] As an exemplary embodiment, the above-mentioned determination of whether the slurry receiving cup is in the first preset position and / or determination of whether the waste water box is in the second preset position can be achieved through position detection, and the position detection can be achieved through detection devices such as reed switches, Halls, and micro switches.

[0037] When some food processors receive a cancel instruction during the pulping stage, they may directly discharge the unprocessed food pulp. However, some food may block the pulp discharge valve during the pulping due to incomplete crushing, causing the food processor to get stuck, affecting the normal use of the food processor. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 Exemplarily, when it is detected that the food processor is in the pulping stage, the pulping method may further include the following steps:

[0038] S40. Obtaining the working time of the blender. Those skilled in the art should understand that the longer the working time of the blender is, the more fully the food is crushed, and the easier it is for the food to pass through the pulp discharge valve.

[0039] S50. Determine the preparatory working time of the blender based on the working time. As an exemplary embodiment, the sum of the working time and the preparatory working time is greater than or equal to the minimum grinding time required for the food to achieve a sufficient grinding effect without valve jamming. As an exemplary embodiment, the minimum grinding time required for the food to achieve a sufficient grinding effect may be affected by factors such as the blade structure of the blender, the food, and the working voltage.

[0040] S60. Control the blender to continue working for the preparatory working time. In this way, the crushing effect of the food is judged based on the working time. If the working time of the blender is not enough, the blender is made to continue working for the preparatory working time to fully crush the food, so as to prevent the unprocessed slurry from containing large-volume food and blocking the slurry discharge valve during slurry discharge, causing the food processor to get stuck.

[0041] Those skilled in the art should understand that when discharging the slurry into the slurry receiving cup, the blender needs to crush the food to a sufficient crushing state that will not block the slurry discharge valve, so as to avoid valve sticking in the food processor, that is, after the preparatory working time, it is necessary to ensure that the food has been sufficiently crushed. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, illustratively, determining the preparatory working time of the blender based on the working time can include: obtaining the required working time of the blender; determining whether the required working time is less than the required working time; when the required working time is less than the required working time, taking the difference between the required working time and the required working time as the preparatory working time. The expected working time is the minimum stirring time required for the food materials to be fully crushed, that is, when the sum of the working time and the preparatory working time is greater than or equal to the expected working time, it can ensure that the food materials have been fully crushed, reducing the probability of valve jamming in the food processor. At this time, the slurry can be discharged into the slurry receiving cup. Therefore, if the working time is greater than or equal to the expected working time, it means that the food materials have been fully crushed and can be discharged directly into the slurry receiving cup; if the working time is less than the expected working time, it means that the food materials are not fully crushed, and the blender needs to continue working for the preparatory working time before the food processor can discharge the slurry. Since the sum of the working time and the preparatory working time should be greater than or equal to the expected working time, it can be seen that the preparatory working time is at least the difference between the working time and the expected working time. In order to improve work efficiency, the difference between the working time and the expected working time is taken as the preparatory working time.

[0042] Since some ingredients (such as apples and strawberries, wet beans and dry beans) have different hardness and water content, it takes different time to make different ingredients achieve the same crushing effect. Taking apples and strawberries as an example, compared with strawberries, apples are usually harder, have less water content, and are less likely to crush. Therefore, it takes longer to crush the effect of not blocking the valve, that is, it takes a longer working time. Therefore, in order to ensure smooth slurry discharge and reduce the risk of valve jam, mixing and crushing ingredients with different hardness and water content needs to match different working times. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, illustratively, obtaining the working time of the agitator may include: obtaining the current processing information of the food processor, and the processing information may include the attribute information of the processed ingredients; determining the working time based on the processing information. Therefore, mixing and crushing ingredients with different attribute information, matching different working times, to ensure smooth slurry discharge and reduce the risk of valve jam. As an exemplary embodiment, the attribute information of the processed food may include but is not limited to the hardness and water content of the food. The harder the processed food and the lower its water content, the more difficult it is to fully crush it. Therefore, the blender should work longer. Conversely, the blender should work shorter.

[0043] When the food processor is discharging pulp, the food ingredients often cause the food processor to get stuck due to poor crushing effect. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing information can also include the current change information of the agitator during the processing. In the process of the agitator stirring and crushing the food ingredients, as the working time of the agitator increases, the food ingredients are crushed more and more fully, the stirring resistance of the agitator will change from large to small and then gradually stabilize, and the torque of the agitator will also change from large to small and then gradually stabilize. When the agitator is in a load state, its working current is proportional to the torque. The smaller the torque, the smaller the working current. Therefore, the smaller or more stable the working current of the agitator, the smaller or more stable the torque, which means that the food ingredients are crushed more fully. Conversely, the crushing effect of the food ingredients is worse. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of valve sticking in food processors due to poor grinding effect of ingredients, the grinding effect of ingredients can be judged by the current change information of the blender, thereby judging the required working time of the blender. The greater the working current of the blender, the worse the current grinding effect of ingredients, and the longer the working time of the blender should be; the smaller or more stable the working current of the blender, the more sufficient the current grinding effect of ingredients, and the shorter the working time of the blender should be.

[0044] If the user puts in too much food, the machine will not be able to recognize it, causing the slurry to overflow, which may cause personal injury and be inconvenient to clean up. Therefore, as an exemplary embodiment, the food processor can be controlled to monitor the current change information in real time before obtaining a cancel instruction. When the current change information of the blender is consistent with the preset change trend, an alarm for too much food is issued, and a cancel instruction can also be automatically generated to terminate the current processing program.

[0045] When the food processor is in the pulping stage, if there are too many ingredients, the slurry may become thicker and thicker as the ingredients are crushed and heated. For example, when there are too many beans, the crushed materials will become more and more solid as they are crushed and heated; when there are too many rice paste ingredients, the starch will gelatinize as they are crushed and heated, and the slurry will become thicker and thicker. Therefore, during the pulping stage when there are too many ingredients, the torque of the stirrer may gradually increase and then quickly decrease (for too many beans, a hollow state may form around the stirrer after the crushed materials solidify, causing a sudden decrease in torque), or keep increasing (for rice paste ingredients, as the starch gelatinizes, the slurry gradually becomes thicker The torque gradually increases), correspondingly, the working current of the blender will gradually increase and then quickly decrease, and the minimum value is close to the idling current value, or the maximum current exceeds the preset current value. Therefore, the preset change trend is that the working current of the blender rises slowly and then drops instantly, and drops to close to the idling current value, or the working current of the blender rises slowly all the time, and rises to exceed the preset current value. Therefore, when the current change information of the blender meets the above-mentioned preset change trend, that is, when it is judged that too much food is put in, an alarm for too much food is issued, and a cancel instruction can also be automatically generated to terminate the current processing program to prevent slurry overflow from causing personal injury and inconvenience in cleaning.

[0046] Furthermore, when it is determined that too much food is put into the food processor, the food processor can be controlled to discharge the slurry, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, after receiving the alarm of too much food, the user needs to operate the food processor to start the cleaning function to discharge the slurry, or, when it is determined that too much food is put into the food processor, the food processor is controlled to automatically add water to dilute the slurry multiple times and discharge it. After the slurry is discharged, the food processor can also be controlled to enter the cleaning stage.

[0047] According to the above description, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, exemplarily, the processing information may also include the property information of the processed food and the current change information of the agitator during the processing, so as to further ensure smooth slurry discharge and reduce the risk of valve sticking.

[0048] When processing food, the food processor may automatically clean after pulping is completed. However, in actual use, the user may not need the food processor to perform the cleaning stage. For example, the user puts in too much food, and after taking out the excess food, the excess food needs to be pulped again. In order to facilitate pulping again, it is hoped to skip the cleaning stage. Therefore, as a preferred solution of the present invention, the pulping method may also include: judging whether the processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program is obtained within the preset time; when the processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program is obtained, the food processor is controlled to skip the cleaning stage and perform processing again, which improves the user's operation autonomy and facilitates the user to pulp again. In this way, when the cleaning stage has not yet been carried out or is about to be carried out, after the food processor obtains the cancellation processing instruction, the user can issue the processing instruction corresponding to the canceled processing program again, control the food processor to skip the next cleaning stage, and perform the processing program corresponding to the canceled processing program again, so as to facilitate pulping again and improve the user experience. As an exemplary embodiment, the preset time can be freely set by the user, or it can be a fixed value preset time, which can include but is not limited to 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and other time.

[0049] In another exemplary embodiment, the user may need to perform multiple pulpings without interruption, and no automatic cleaning is required during the multiple pulping processes. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pulping method may include, exemplarily, before obtaining the cancellation instruction, determining whether a repeated processing instruction is obtained to characterize multiple executions of the same processing program; when a repeated processing instruction is obtained, after the pulping stage is completed, the cleaning stage is skipped. Thus, the user can set the food processor in advance to skip the cleaning stage during multiple pulping processes and shorten the pulping cycle. As an exemplary embodiment, after the last pulping is completed, the food processor is controlled to enter the cleaning stage. As an exemplary embodiment, the repeated processing instruction may be any form of instruction indicating repeated processing, such as specifying the number of processing times or specifying the processing capacity, such as clicking multiple times to specify the number of repeated processing times, or directly selecting the number of repeated processing times, or setting the processing capacity requirement to control the food processor to automatically determine the number of repeated processing times.

[0050] At present, some food processors also have the function of automatic water filling. The user may need to cancel the work when the food processor is filling with water due to selecting the wrong function program or water intake amount. Therefore, as an exemplary embodiment, the processing stage may also include a water intake stage. When the food processor obtains a cancel instruction during the water intake stage, it can stop filling with water and return to the standby state, so that the user can reselect other function programs or water intake amounts.

[0051] Those skilled in the art should understand that the numerical values ​​and numerical ranges in all the above examples are merely illustrative examples for ease of understanding, and the protection scope of this embodiment is not limited to the numerical values ​​and numerical ranges in all the above examples.

[0052] The present application also provides a food processing machine. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a food processor in one embodiment of the present application.
