Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a food processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, cold-brewed beverages use cold water to soak food such as coffee / tea leaves for 10-20 hours at low temperature to effectively extract flavoring substances such as tea polyphenols, catechins, and caffeine from the food, and then extract a liquid with a softer taste and a slightly sweet taste, which has a unique taste. However, the traditional cold-brewing method takes too long to produce, has low production efficiency, and has high production costs. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the problems in the prior art or related art.

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

[0005] The second aspect of the present application also provides a control device.

[0006] The third aspect of the present application also provides a food processor.

[0007] The fourth aspect of the present application also provides a readable storage medium.

[0008] Therefore, the first aspect of the present application provides a control method of a food processor, comprising: in response to a start instruction of the food processor, controlling an ultrasonic wave generating device to work; based on the working time length of the ultrasonic wave generating device being greater than or equal to a preset time length, turning off the ultrasonic wave generating device, and controlling a refrigeration assembly to cool the food according to the temperature of the food.

[0009] The control method of the food processor provided by the present application can be used when a user needs to make a cold-brewed beverage. The user can add the food to be extracted and the liquid to the accommodating cavity of the food processor, and then operate the food processor to issue a start instruction of the food processor. The food processor starts the cold extraction of the food to be extracted in response to the instruction of the cold extraction of the food to be extracted, i.e., the start instruction of the food processor. The food in the accommodating cavity includes the food to be extracted and the liquid for soaking the food to be extracted, and the food to be extracted includes coffee, flowers, fruits, tea, traditional Chinese medicine, and wine.

[0010] Specifically, after the food processor is started, the ultrasonic generating device of the food processor is controlled to start working, and the food material to be extracted in the accommodating cavity is vibrated by the ultrasonic generating device, so that the ingredients in the food material obtain kinetic energy and move, thereby promoting the flavor substances to be extracted and accelerating the water-soluble substances to be quickly dissolved into the liquid. At the same time when the ultrasonic generating device is started, the working time of the ultrasonic generating device is started to be counted, and when the working time is greater than or equal to a preset time, it is indicated that the cold extraction of the beverage is completed, and at this time the ultrasonic generating device is controlled to be turned off. Further, the automatic cold extraction of the food is realized, so that the aroma and sweetness of the beverage are more prominent, and the bitter flavor is reduced. Moreover, the extraction speed can be effectively improved, and the waiting time of the user is shortened, and even at room temperature or low temperature, the required beverage can be quickly formed.

[0011] Further, considering that in the process of making the cold-extracted beverage, the initial temperature of the liquid added into the food processor is higher than the temperature of the cold-extracted beverage required by the user, or the liquid is heated due to the working of the ultrasonic generating device. Therefore, after the ultrasonic cold extraction process is completed, that is, the working time of the ultrasonic generating device reaches the preset time of the food to be extracted, the refrigeration assembly of the food processor is controlled according to the temperature of the food, so that the food can quickly reach the first preset temperature required by the user, thereby balancing the cold extraction efficiency of the food and the taste of the beverage, and meeting the various needs of the user for the cold-extracted beverage. Moreover, the refrigeration is performed only after the ultrasonic extraction is completed, so that the temperature does not decrease during the ultrasonic extraction process, and the extraction effect is better. Specifically, without affecting the taste of the cold extraction, if the initial temperature of the liquid added into the food processor is greater than the second preset temperature, the flavor substances can be promoted to be extracted. For example, if the first preset temperature set by the user is 5℃, water at room temperature or hot water can be added for tea extraction. Compared with directly using ice water for extraction, the extraction efficiency and effect of water at a higher temperature are better, which is beneficial to improve the extraction of tea polyphenols and other substances, thereby improving the quality of tea water. After extraction, the tea water is cooled to 5℃. The second preset temperature is the preferred extraction temperature of the food material, and the second preset temperature corresponding to different food materials can be different.

[0012] It should be noted that the food processor comprises a body, an ultrasonic generating device and a refrigeration assembly, the body is provided with a containing cavity, and food materials to be extracted and liquid can be contained in the containing cavity. The ultrasonic generating device is arranged on the body, and at least a part of the ultrasonic generating device extends into the containing cavity. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generating device can form disturbance to the liquid and the food materials to be extracted, and the liquid and the food materials to be extracted change from a static state to a flowing state, so that the dissolution speed of water-soluble substances in the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction speed of the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction time is shortened, the waiting time of the user is reduced, the user can drink the beverage extracted as soon as possible, and the competitiveness of the product is improved, and the use experience of the user on the container is improved. The shell can contain the container and the refrigeration assembly, the refrigeration assembly can exchange heat with the container, the refrigeration assembly reduces the surface temperature of the container, the container exchanges heat with the food in the containing cavity, the temperature of the food is prevented from rising, the liquid after extraction obtains a lower temperature through the arrangement of the refrigeration assembly, and the taste of the beverage is improved.

[0013] The control method of the food processor provided in the application can further have the following additional technical features.

[0014] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the refrigeration assembly is controlled to work according to the temperature of the food, comprising: based on the temperature of the food being greater than a first preset temperature, the refrigeration assembly is controlled to work according to refrigeration parameters; and based on the temperature of the food decreasing to the first preset temperature, the refrigeration assembly is turned off, and prompt information is output.

[0015] In this technical solution, after the ultrasonic cold extraction process is completed, that is, the working time of the ultrasonic generating device reaches the preset time of the food to be extracted, the size relationship between the temperature of the food and the temperature of the cold extracted beverage required by the user (the first preset temperature) is compared, and the refrigeration assembly of the food processor is controlled to start according to the size relationship.

[0016] Specifically, in the case that the temperature of the food is greater than the first preset temperature, it indicates that the initial temperature of the liquid added into the food processor is not the temperature of the cold extracted beverage required by the user, or the liquid is warmed up due to the working of the ultrasonic generating device. At this time, the refrigeration assembly is controlled to start according to refrigeration parameters, so as to cool down the food in the containing cavity through the refrigeration assembly, so that the food quickly reaches the first preset temperature required by the user. When it is detected that the temperature of the food is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, it indicates that the cooling of the food is completed, then the refrigeration assembly is controlled to be turned off, and prompt information is output. On the one hand, the cold extraction efficiency of the food and the taste of the beverage are considered, and various requirements of the user on the cold extracted beverage are met. On the other hand, the user can be informed that the beverage is completed, so as to facilitate the user to take the beverage in time.

[0017] The refrigeration parameters comprise refrigeration power or refrigeration time.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the control method of the food processor further comprises: obtaining an ambient temperature of a space where the food processor is located; calculating a difference between the temperature of the food and the first preset temperature; and determining the refrigeration parameter according to the ambient temperature and the difference.

[0019] In this technical solution, considering the influence of the ambient temperature of the space where the food processor is located on the temperature of the food in the containing cavity, the ambient temperature is obtained before the food is cooled, and the difference between the current temperature of the food and the first preset temperature is determined. The refrigeration parameter required for the refrigeration assembly to reduce the temperature of the food to the first preset temperature is determined by using the ambient temperature and the difference. Thus, while ensuring the cooling effect of the refrigeration assembly, the refrigeration parameter is dynamically set, and the energy consumption of the food processor is reduced.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the control of the ultrasonic wave generating device comprises: controlling the ultrasonic wave generating device to work continuously; or controlling the ultrasonic wave generating device to work intermittently according to a preset on-off ratio; wherein at least one of the preset on-off ratio and the preset time length is related to the type of the food.

[0021] In this technical solution, the working mode of the ultrasonic wave generating device can be continuous work at a specified power, which is beneficial to accelerate the extraction of flavor substances in the food material and greatly shorten the cold extraction time.

[0022] The working mode of the ultrasonic wave generating device can also be intermittent work according to a preset on-off ratio, thereby avoiding overheating and damage of the ultrasonic wave generating device on the basis of ensuring the ultrasonic extraction effect, and effectively prolonging the service life of the food processor.

[0023] It should be noted that due to the difference in types of the food material to be cooked and the liquid, the time required for cold extraction is also different. Therefore, the type of the food in the containing cavity can be obtained first, and according to the correspondence between the preset on-off ratio, the preset time length and the type of the food, the preset on-off ratio and the preset time length required for the food of this type are found, so as to accurately control the mechanical energy obtained by the food, further shorten the preset time length required for ultrasonic cold extraction, and avoid the problem of serious food material breakage caused by excessive ultrasonic, and improve the user experience. Further, for different working modes, the total time length of the ultrasonic wave generating device, i.e. the preset time length, can be different.

[0024] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the control of the ultrasonic wave generating device comprises: based on the liquid level height of the containing cavity being greater than or equal to a preset height, controlling the ultrasonic wave generating device to work.

[0025] In the technical solution, before starting the ultrasonic cold extraction, the liquid level sensor is used to detect the liquid level height in the accommodating cavity, and the ultrasonic wave generating device is started only when the obtained liquid level height reaches the preset height. Thus, the damage of the ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic wave generating device to other components in the food processor caused by the user forgetting to place food, placing too little food or misoperation is avoided, the safety of the food processor is improved, and the food processor can also avoid unnecessary work and save resource consumption.

[0026] Further, when the liquid level height is less than the preset height, warning information is output to prompt the user that the food in the accommodating cavity is insufficient, and thus the working efficiency of the food processor is improved.

[0027] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the food processor further comprises a heating assembly, and before the ultrasonic wave generating device is controlled to work, the method further comprises: based on the temperature of the food being less than a second preset temperature, controlling the heating assembly to work; and based on the temperature of the food rising to the second preset temperature, turning off the heating assembly.

[0028] In the technical solution, the heating assembly is further arranged in the food processor, and the food in the accommodating cavity can be heated by the heating assembly.

[0029] Specifically, too low temperature is not conducive to the extraction of flavor substances and seriously affects the extraction efficiency. Therefore, when the temperature of the food is lower than the second preset temperature, the heating assembly is controlled to heat the food, and the heating assembly is turned off after the temperature of the food is equal to the second preset temperature, so that the temperature of the food can rapidly rise to the optimal temperature (the second preset temperature) for extraction. Thus, the aroma and sweetness of the beverage are more prominent, the bitter flavor is reduced, the extraction effect is effectively enhanced, and the beverage quality is improved.

[0030] The second preset temperature can be set according to the type of the food material.

[0031] According to the second aspect of the present application, a control device is further provided, which comprises a processor, a memory, and a program or instruction stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and the program or instruction is executed by the processor to realize the steps of the control method of the food processor according to the first aspect. Therefore, the control device has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the food processor according to the first aspect, and details are not repeated to avoid repetition.

[0032] According to a third aspect of the present application, a food processing machine is provided, comprising: a housing; a container detachably connected to the housing, the container comprising: a body provided with a receiving cavity; an ultrasonic wave generating device arranged in the body, at least part of the ultrasonic wave generating device extending into the receiving cavity from a bottom of the container; a refrigeration assembly arranged in the housing, the refrigeration assembly being capable of heat exchanging with the container when the container is carried on the housing; and the control device of the second aspect is connected with the ultrasonic wave generating device and the refrigeration assembly.

[0033] In the technical solution, the food processing machine comprises: a housing, a container and a refrigeration assembly, wherein the container is carried on the housing, and the container comprises a body and an ultrasonic wave generating device.

[0034] Specifically, the body is provided with a receiving cavity, and food materials to be extracted and liquid can be contained in the receiving cavity.

[0035] The ultrasonic wave generating device is arranged in the body, and at least part of the ultrasonic wave generating device extends into the receiving cavity, so that the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic wave generating device can form disturbance to the liquid and the food materials to be extracted, and the liquid and the food materials to be extracted change from a static state to a flowing state, thereby accelerating the dissolution speed of water-soluble substances in the food materials to be extracted, accelerating the extraction speed of the food materials to be extracted, shortening the extraction time and reducing the waiting time of the user.

[0036] The housing can accommodate the container and the refrigeration assembly, the refrigeration assembly can heat exchange with the container, the refrigeration assembly can reduce the surface temperature of the container, the container can heat exchange with the food in the receiving cavity, so as to avoid the temperature of the food from rising, and the liquid after extraction can obtain a lower temperature by arranging the refrigeration assembly, which is beneficial to improve the taste of the beverage.

[0037] Specifically, the container can be connected to the rear end of a water purifier, and after the food processing machine is started, clean water can be directly obtained from the water purifier, thereby saving the user from taking and pouring water.

[0038] In any of the above technical solutions, further, the food processing machine further comprises: a heating assembly arranged in the housing and connected with the control device.

[0039] In the technical solution, the housing can accommodate the container and the heating assembly, the heating assembly can heat exchange with the container, and when the temperature of the food is lower than the second preset temperature, the heating assembly can heat the food, so that the temperature of the food can rapidly rise to the optimal temperature for extraction, thereby making the aroma and sweetness of the beverage more prominent, reducing the bitter flavor, effectively enhancing the extraction effect and improving the quality of the beverage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] In order to enable a more complete understanding of the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0056] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] The following refers to Figure 1 to Figure 10 The control method, control device, food processor and readable storage medium of the food processor according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0058] Embodiment 1:

[0059] As Figure 1 shown, according to the embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, a control method of a food processor is proposed, wherein the food processor includes a containing cavity, an ultrasonic wave generating device and a refrigeration assembly, the ultrasonic wave generating device is used to oscillate food in the containing cavity; the method includes:

[0060] Step 202, in response to the start instruction of the food processor, controlling the ultrasonic wave generating device to work;

[0061] Step 204, whether the working time length of the ultrasonic wave generating device is greater than or equal to the preset time length, if yes, entering step 206, if no, entering step 202;

[0062] Step 206, turning off the ultrasonic wave generating device, and controlling the refrigeration assembly to cool the food according to the temperature of the food.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the user needs to make a cold-brewed beverage, the user can add the food material to be extracted and the liquid into the accommodating cavity of the food processor, and then operate the food processor to issue a start instruction of the food processor. The food processor starts to perform cold extraction of the food material in response to the instruction of performing cold extraction of the food material to be extracted, i.e., the action instruction of the cold food processor. The food in the accommodating cavity includes the food material to be extracted and the liquid for soaking the food material, and the food material to be extracted includes coffee, flowers, fruits, tea, traditional Chinese medicine, wine, etc.

[0064] Specifically, after the food processor is started, the ultrasonic generating device of the food processor is controlled to start working, and the food material to be extracted in the accommodating cavity is oscillated by the ultrasonic generating device, so that the ingredients in the food material obtain kinetic energy and move, thereby promoting the extraction of flavor substances and accelerating the rapid dissolution of water-soluble substances into the liquid. At the same time of starting the ultrasonic generating device, the working time of the ultrasonic generating device is started to be counted. When the working time is greater than or equal to a preset time, it indicates that the cold-brewed beverage is completed, and the ultrasonic generating device is controlled to be turned off. Thus, the automatic cold extraction of food is realized, the aroma and sweetness of the beverage are more prominent, and the bitter flavor is reduced. Moreover, the extraction speed can be effectively improved, and the waiting time of the user is shortened. Even at room temperature or low temperature, the required beverage can be quickly formed.

[0065] Further, considering that the initial temperature of the liquid added into the food processor during the preparation of the cold-brewed beverage is higher than the temperature of the cold-brewed beverage required by the user, or the liquid is heated due to the working of the ultrasonic generating device, etc. Therefore, after the ultrasonic cold extraction process is completed, i.e., the working time of the ultrasonic generating device reaches the preset time of the food material to be extracted, the refrigeration assembly of the food processor is controlled according to the temperature of the food, so that the food can quickly reach the first preset temperature required by the user, thereby balancing the cold extraction efficiency of the food and the taste of the beverage, and meeting the various requirements of the user for the cold-brewed beverage. Moreover, the refrigeration is performed only after the ultrasonic extraction is completed, so that the temperature does not decrease during the ultrasonic extraction process, and the extraction effect is better. Specifically, without affecting the taste of the cold extraction, if the initial temperature of the liquid added into the food processor is greater than the second preset temperature, the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of the liquid are better, which is beneficial to improve the extraction of tea polyphenols and other substances, thereby improving the quality of the tea water. After extraction, the tea water is cooled to 5℃. The second preset temperature is the optimal extraction temperature of the food material, and the second preset temperature corresponding to different food materials can be different.

[0066] It should be noted that the food processor comprises a body, an ultrasonic generating device and a refrigeration assembly. The body is provided with a containing cavity in which food materials to be extracted and liquid can be contained. The ultrasonic generating device is arranged on the body, and at least a part of the ultrasonic generating device extends into the containing cavity. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generating device can form disturbance to the liquid and the food materials to be extracted, so that the liquid and the food materials to be extracted change from a static state to a flowing state, the dissolution speed of water-soluble substances in the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction speed of the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction time is shortened, the waiting time of the user is reduced, the user can drink the beverage extracted as soon as possible, and the competitiveness of the product is improved, and the user experience of the container is improved. The shell can contain the container and the refrigeration assembly. The refrigeration assembly can exchange heat with the container. The refrigeration assembly reduces the surface temperature of the container. The container exchanges heat with the food in the containing cavity, so that the temperature of the food is prevented from rising. By arranging the refrigeration assembly, the liquid after extraction can obtain a lower temperature, and the taste of the beverage is improved.

[0067] In addition, the ultrasonic generating device is detachably connected to the body, so that the container can be cleaned and the ultrasonic generating device can be maintained.

[0068] Embodiment 2

[0069] As shown in Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present application, a control method of a food processor is provided, comprising:

[0070] In step 302, in response to a start instruction of the food processor, the ultrasonic generating device is controlled to work continuously.

[0071] In step 304, whether the working time length of the ultrasonic generating device is greater than or equal to a preset time length, if yes, step 306 is entered, and if no, step 302 is entered.

[0072] In step 306, the ultrasonic generating device is turned off.

[0073] In step 308, whether the temperature of the food is greater than a first preset temperature, if yes, step 310 is entered, and if no, step 316 is entered.

[0074] In step 310, the refrigeration assembly is controlled to work according to a refrigeration parameter.

[0075] In step 312, whether the temperature of the food is reduced to the first preset temperature, if yes, step 314 is entered, and if no, step 310 is entered.

[0076] In step 314, the refrigeration assembly is turned off.

[0077] In step 316, prompt information is output.

[0078] In this embodiment, after the ultrasonic cold extraction process is completed, that is, the working time of the ultrasonic generating device reaches the preset time of the food to be extracted, the size relationship between the temperature of the food and the temperature of the cold extracted beverage required by the user (the first preset temperature) is compared, and the refrigeration assembly of the food processor is controlled to start according to the size relationship.

[0079] Specifically, in the case where the food temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, it indicates that the initial temperature of the liquid added to the food processor is not the temperature of the cold extracted beverage required by the user, or the liquid is warmed up due to the working of the ultrasonic generating device. At this time, the refrigeration assembly is controlled to start according to the refrigeration parameters, so as to cool the food in the containing cavity through the refrigeration assembly, so that the food quickly reaches the first preset temperature required by the user. When it is detected that the temperature of the food is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, it indicates that the cooling of the food is completed, and then the refrigeration assembly is controlled to be turned off, and a prompt information is output. On the one hand, the cold extraction efficiency of the food and the taste of the beverage are taken into account, and the multiple requirements of the user for the cold extracted beverage are met. On the other hand, the user can be informed that the beverage is completed, so that the user can take the beverage in time. Moreover, since the working mode of the ultrasonic generating device is to work continuously at a specified power, it is beneficial to accelerate the extraction of flavor substances in the food, and further shorten the time of ultrasonic cold extraction.

[0080] When it is detected that the temperature of the food is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, the temperature of the food has met the requirement of the user at this time, so the refrigeration assembly does not need to be started, and a prompt information can be directly output.

[0081] The refrigeration parameters include refrigeration power or refrigeration time.

[0082] Further, in the case where the refrigeration power is fixed, the relationship between the temperature and the refrigeration time can also be used to determine whether the temperature of the food has been reduced to the first preset temperature by using the refrigeration time.

[0083] It can be understood that the first preset temperature can be set according to the taste of the cold extracted beverage required by the user, which can be 10℃, 2℃, etc. Further, the food processor can pre-configure a response function of the first preset temperature in the control device, which indicates the corresponding relationship between the first preset temperature and the identity information of the user, and / or the corresponding relationship between the first preset temperature and the weather information of the region where the food processor is located. For the food processor with the function of determining the identity information of the user and the weather information, after obtaining the identity information of the user and / or the weather information, the corresponding first preset temperature can be automatically queried according to the identity information and / or the weather information. For example, when the weather temperature is high, the first preset temperature is selected to be a relatively low value. Thus, the user can avoid repeatedly setting the first preset temperature, the convenience of the food processor is improved, and the use experience of the user is met.

[0084] Embodiment 3:

[0085] As Figure 3 shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a control method of a food processor is provided, comprising:

[0086] Step 402, in response to the start instruction of the food processor, controlling the ultrasonic generating device to work intermittently according to a preset on-off ratio;

[0087] Step 404, whether the working duration of the ultrasonic generating device is greater than or equal to a preset duration, if yes, entering step 406, if no, entering step 402;

[0088] Step 406, turning off the ultrasonic generating device;

[0089] Step 408, whether the temperature of the food is greater than a first preset temperature, if yes, entering step 410, if no, entering step 420;

[0090] Step 410, obtaining the ambient temperature of the space where the food processor is located, and calculating the difference between the temperature of the food and the first preset temperature;

[0091] Step 412, determining the refrigeration parameter according to the ambient temperature and the difference;

[0092] Step 414, controlling the refrigeration assembly to work according to the refrigeration parameter;

[0093] Step 416, whether the temperature of the food is reduced to the first preset temperature, if yes, entering step 418, if no, entering step 414;

[0094] Step 418, turning off the refrigeration assembly;

[0095] Step 420, outputting prompt information.

[0096] Among them, the preset on-off ratio and the preset duration are related to the type of food.

[0097] In this embodiment, considering the influence of the ambient temperature of the space where the food processor is located on the temperature of the food in the containing cavity, the ambient temperature is obtained before the food is cooled, and the difference between the current temperature of the food and the first preset temperature is determined. The refrigeration parameter required for the refrigeration assembly to reduce the temperature of the food to the first preset temperature is determined by using the ambient temperature and the difference. Thus, while ensuring the cooling effect of the refrigeration assembly, the refrigeration parameter is dynamically set, and the energy consumption of the food processor is reduced.

[0098] Further, the working mode of the ultrasonic generating device is intermittent work according to the preset on-off ratio, so as to avoid overheating and damage of the ultrasonic generating device and other faults on the basis of ensuring the ultrasonic extraction effect, effectively prolonging the service life of the food processor.

[0099] It should be noted that due to the difference of the to-be-cooked food and the type of liquid, the time required for cold extraction is also different. Therefore, the type of food in the containing cavity can be obtained first, and according to the correspondence between the preset food type and the ultrasonic wave generating device on-off ratio, the preset on-off ratio and the preset time required for the food of the type are found, so as to accurately control the mechanical energy obtained by the food, further shorten the preset time required for ultrasonic cold extraction, and avoid the problem of serious food crushing caused by excessive ultrasonic, and improve the user experience.

[0100] For example, the ambient temperature is 25℃, the temperature of the food is 15℃, the first preset temperature is 3℃, and the difference between the ambient temperature and the temperature of the food and the first preset temperature is large. The higher ambient temperature will inhibit the temperature of the food, and then the temperature compensation amount corresponding to the ambient temperature is determined according to the preset correspondence between the ambient temperature and the compensation amount, and the required refrigeration parameter is queried according to the sum of the difference and the temperature compensation amount.

[0101] It can be understood that when the refrigeration power of the refrigeration assembly is not adjustable, the refrigeration time required by the refrigeration assembly can be determined according to the ambient temperature and the difference, so that whether the temperature of the food has been reduced to the first preset temperature is determined by the refrigeration time. When the refrigeration time is not adjustable, the refrigeration power required by the refrigeration assembly can be determined according to the ambient temperature and the difference, so that the temperature of the food can be reduced to the first preset temperature within the refrigeration time by controlling the refrigeration power.

[0102] Specifically, the prompt information can be text, image, audio, light, etc. For example, the buzzer is set to sound intermittently for several times.

[0103] Embodiment 4:

[0104] As shown in Figure 4 According to one embodiment of the present application, a control method of a food processor is provided, comprising:

[0105] Step 502, in response to the start instruction of the food processor, the liquid level height of the containing cavity is obtained;

[0106] Step 504, whether the liquid level height is greater than or equal to the preset height, if yes, go to step 506, if no, go to step 512;

[0107] Step 506, control the ultrasonic wave generating device to work;

[0108] Step 508, whether the working time of the ultrasonic wave generating device is greater than or equal to the preset time, if yes, go to step 510, if no, go to step 506;

[0109] Step 510, turn off the ultrasonic wave generating device, and control the refrigeration assembly to cool the food according to the temperature of the food;

[0110] Step 512: Output a warning message.

[0111] In this embodiment, before starting the ultrasonic cold extraction, the liquid level in the container is detected by a liquid level sensor. The ultrasonic generator is only activated when the liquid level reaches a preset height. This avoids damage to other components in the food processor caused by ultrasonic waves emitted from the ultrasonic generator due to the user forgetting to put in food, putting in too little food, or misoperation. This improves the safety of the food processor and also prevents unnecessary operation, saving resources.

[0112] Furthermore, when the liquid level is lower than the preset height, a warning message is output to remind the user that there is not enough food in the container, thereby improving the working efficiency of the food processor.

[0113] Example 5:

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for a food processor is proposed, comprising:

[0115] Step 602: In response to the start command of the food processor, obtain the temperature of the food in the receiving cavity;

[0116] Step 604: Is the temperature of the food lower than the second preset temperature? If yes, proceed to step 606; otherwise, proceed to step 610.

[0117] Step 606: Control the heating component to operate;

[0118] Step 608: Has the temperature of the food risen to the second preset temperature? If yes, proceed to step 610; if no, proceed to step 606.

[0119] Step 610: Turn off the heating element;

[0120] Step 612: Control the ultrasonic generator to operate;

[0121] Step 614: Is the working time of the ultrasonic generator greater than or equal to the preset time? If yes, proceed to step 616; otherwise, proceed to step 612.

[0122] Step 616: Turn off the ultrasonic generator and control the cooling components to cool the food according to its temperature.

[0123] In this embodiment, a heating component is also provided inside the food processor, which can heat the food in the receiving cavity.

[0124] Specifically, since too low temperature is not conducive to the extraction of flavor substances, it seriously affects the extraction efficiency. Therefore, when the temperature of the food is lower than the second preset temperature, the heating assembly is controlled to heat the food until the temperature of the food is equal to the second preset temperature, and then the heating assembly is controlled to be turned off, so that the temperature of the food can rapidly rise to the optimal temperature (the second preset temperature) for food extraction. Thus, the aroma and sweetness of the beverage are more prominent, the bitter flavor is reduced, the extraction effect is effectively enhanced, and the beverage quality is improved.

[0125] The second preset temperature can be set according to the type of the food material to be extracted.

[0126] In addition, when the user needs hot beverage, the liquid with lower temperature can be used for ultrasonic cold extraction first, and the extracted beverage is directly heated by the heating assembly, so as to meet different temperature requirements of the beverage, improve the reliability of the food processor, and improve the competitiveness of the product and the user experience of the food processor.

[0129] Step 702, 25℃ room temperature water and tea leaves are put into the food processor;

[0130] The tea-to-water ratio is 2:150.

[0131] Step 704, select the cold extraction mode, and the ultrasonic wave generating device works;

[0132] The working mode of the ultrasonic wave generating device can be selected as continuous ultrasonic or on-off ultrasonic, and the specific value of the on-off ratio is determined according to the specific structure of the ultrasonic wave generating device and the tea.

[0133] Step 706, the ultrasonic wave generating device works for 6 minutes and then stops, and the refrigeration assembly is started at the same time;

[0134] Step 708, the refrigeration assembly works to reach the preset temperature of 15℃ and then stops, and the food processor reminds that the cold-brew beverage is completed.

[0135] In this embodiment, the tea leaf cells are broken by ultrasonic before extraction, the extraction temperature does not decrease, and the water-soluble nutrients can be continuously released in the subsequent refrigeration, and the extraction effect is good. After refrigeration to 15℃, the total phenol extraction of tea soup is increased, as shown in Table 1, and the total time is 35min. In a shorter time, the phenolic nutrients close to cold brewing for 5 hours are extracted, the extraction efficiency is high, the dissolution of tea nutrients is emphasized, the ice-cold taste is met, and the user experience is good. Through the cooperation of different working modes of the ultrasonic wave generating device and the refrigeration assembly, the rapid cold extraction of the beverage in the cup is realized.

Therefore, the control device 800 has all the beneficial effects of the control method of the food processor according to the first aspect of the embodiment.

[0141] Embodiment 8:

[0142] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , according to the embodiment of the third aspect of the present application, a food processor 10 is provided, which includes a shell 200, a container 100, a refrigeration assembly 230, and a control device (not shown in the figure) according to the second aspect of the embodiment.

[0143] In detail, the container 100 is carried by the housing 200, the container 100 comprises a body 110 and an ultrasonic wave generating device 130. The body 110 is provided with a containing cavity, food materials to be extracted and liquid can be contained in the containing cavity. The ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is arranged on the body 110, and at least a part of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 extends into the containing cavity. The housing 200 can contain the container 100 and a refrigeration assembly 230, the refrigeration assembly 230 can exchange heat with the container 100, the refrigeration assembly 230 reduces the surface temperature of the container 100, the container 100 exchanges heat with the food in the containing cavity, and the temperature of the food is prevented from rising. A control device is connected with the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 and the refrigeration assembly 230, the control device is used to control the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 to work in response to a starting instruction of the food processor 10, and to turn off the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 based on that the working time of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is greater than or equal to a preset time, and to control the refrigeration assembly 230 to cool the food according to the temperature of the food.

[0144] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 can form disturbance to the liquid and the food materials to be extracted, the liquid and the food materials to be extracted change from a static state to a flowing state, the dissolution speed of water-soluble substances in the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction speed of the food materials to be extracted is accelerated, the extraction time is shortened, and the waiting time of the user is reduced. By arranging the refrigeration assembly 230, the liquid after extraction obtains a lower temperature, which is beneficial to improve the taste of the beverage. The control device is used to control the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 and the refrigeration assembly 230 to work, automatic cold extraction of the food is realized, the aroma and sweetness of the beverage are more prominent, the bitter flavor is reduced, the extraction speed is effectively improved, the waiting time of the user is shortened, and the required beverage can be quickly formed even at room temperature or low temperature.

[0145] Specifically, the body 110 has an opening, a first inclined portion 111 and a second inclined portion 112. The opening of the body 110 is located at one end of the first inclined portion 111. Wherein, the body 110 is cut along a plane parallel to the opening to obtain a cross section of the body 110, for example, when the container 100 is placed horizontally, the opening of the container 100 is parallel to the horizontal direction, so the plane parallel to the opening of the container 100 is also parallel to the horizontal plane, and the body 110 is cut along the horizontal direction to obtain the cross section of the body 110. From the opening end of the body 110 to the bottom of the body 110, the cross-sectional area of the first inclined portion 111 increases, that is, the position of the body 110 at the first inclined portion 111 is in the shape of an expanding opening, so the cross-sectional area of the body 110 at the opening is smaller, which facilitates the user to set the anti-skid piece on the body 110, and the first inclined portion 111 can guide the anti-skid piece, so that the user can conveniently install the anti-skid piece to the to-be-installed position, thereby improving the user's convenience in using the container 100. Similarly, the body 110 is cut along a plane parallel to the opening to obtain a cross section of the body 110, and from the opening end of the body 110 to the bottom of the body 110, the cross-sectional area of the body 110 at the second inclined portion 112 decreases, so the body 110 at the second inclined portion 112 is in the shape of a converging opening. In order to ensure that the container 100 can tightly abut against the refrigeration assembly 230, the second inclined portion 112 is formed on the body 110, and the second inclined portion 112 can slide relative to the to-be-contacted part on the shell 200, so that the body 110 can press the to-be-contacted part under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring that the refrigeration assembly 230 on the shell 200 stably exchanges heat with the container 100.

[0146] In a possible design, the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is detachably connected to the body 110, thereby facilitating cleaning of the container 100 and maintenance of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130.

[0147] Further, the food processor 10 further comprises a temperature sensor 120 to detect the temperature, so as to realize accurate control of the cold brewing process of the food processor 10 and improve the reliability of the food processor 10.

[0148] It can be understood that after the to-be-extracted food material in the container 100 is extracted, the container 100 can be taken out of the shell 200, and the user can carry the container 100 at any time, thereby facilitating the user to drink the extracted liquid at any time and improving the user's convenience in using the container 100. The container 100 further comprises a cover, the cover is threadedly screwed with the body 110, thereby facilitating the user to open and close the cover, and the top of the body 110 is normally sealed with the cover, so that the container 100 can be used as a travel cup.

[0149] Specifically, the container 100 can be connected to the rear end of a water purifier, and after the food processor 10 is started, clean water can be directly obtained from the water purifier, thereby saving the user's action of taking and pouring water.

[0150] Example 9:

[0151] According to one embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in any of the above embodiments, and further: the food processor also includes a heating component.

[0152] Specifically, the heating component is located in the housing and connected to the control device.

[0153] In this embodiment, the housing can accommodate the container and the heating component. The heating component can exchange heat with the container. When the food temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the heating component can heat the food, allowing the food temperature to rise rapidly to the optimal temperature for food extraction. This makes the aroma and sweetness of the beverage more prominent, reduces bitterness, effectively enhances the extraction effect, and improves the quality of the beverage.

[0154] Example 10:

[0155] According to one embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in any of the above embodiments, and further: the food processor further includes: a first coupler and a second coupler.

[0156] Specifically, the first coupler is located in the ultrasonic generator inside the container. The second coupler is located in the shell, and when the container is connected to the shell, the first coupler and the second coupler are coupled.

[0157] In this embodiment, a first coupler is provided on the ultrasonic generator and a second coupler is provided on the housing. After connecting the first coupler on the ultrasonic generator and the second coupler on the housing, power can be supplied to the ultrasonic generator, and the ultrasonic generator will start working.

[0158] Example 11:

[0159] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, including the features defined in any of the above embodiments, and further: the container 100 also includes: a seal 140, a connector 131, and a plug groove (not shown in the figure).

[0160] Specifically, a seal 140 is disposed on the ultrasonic generator 130, and the seal 140 is located between the ultrasonic generator 130 and the body 110. A connector 131 is disposed on the ultrasonic generator 130, and the connector 131 has a circumferential insertion portion. An insertion groove is disposed on the seal 140.

[0161] In the embodiment, the sealing member 140 is arranged between the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110, and can seal the space between the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110. In order to avoid the water solution overflowing from the space between the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110, the sealing member 140 is arranged between the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110, and can ensure the sealing of the container 100. When the user carries the container 100 alone, the user does not need to worry about the water solution in the container 100 overflowing, and the user's convenience in using the container 100 is improved. When the ultrasonic generating device 130 is assembled in the body 110, the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110 can extrude the sealing member 140, and the sealing performance of the sealing member 140 is improved.

[0162] In addition, the connection mode of the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the sealing member 140 is specifically limited. The connecting member 131 is arranged on the ultrasonic generating device 130, and the insertion part is arranged in the circumferential direction of the connecting member 131. The insertion slot is arranged on the sealing member 140, and the insertion part can be inserted into the insertion slot. The insertion slot can limit the insertion part, so that the connection stability of the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the sealing member 140 is improved. The sealing member 140 is not easy to separate from the ultrasonic generating device 130, so that the sealing member 140 can stably seal the space between the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110. When the user carries the container 100 alone, the user does not need to worry about the water solution in the container 100 overflowing, and the user's convenience in using the container 100 is improved.

[0163] Since the insertion slot can limit the insertion part, the sealing member 140 and the ultrasonic generating device 130 are not easy to be misaligned, and the sealing member 140 can stably be in the sealing position. In order to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing member 140, the ultrasonic generating device 130 and the body 110 can extrude the sealing member 140 during the process of assembling the ultrasonic generating device 130 in the body 110. The limiting effect of the insertion slot on the insertion part can ensure that the sealing member 140 is not easy to deviate from the sealing position, which is beneficial to improve the convenience of the user in assembling the ultrasonic generating device 130 in the body 110.

[0164] Further, the sealing member 140 comprises a first sealing part 141 and a second sealing part 142. The first sealing part 141 is provided with the insertion slot. The second sealing part 142 is connected to the first sealing part 141, and the second sealing part 142 is provided with a recess 143, the connecting member 131 is shielded at the opening end of the recess 143, when the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is inserted into the accommodating cavity, that is, the connecting member 131 covers the opening end of the recess 143, the second sealing part 142 is attached to the connecting member 131, so as to form a hollow area between the second sealing part 142 and the connecting member 131. Thus, when the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is installed to the body 110, the body 110 and the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 can extrude the second sealing part 142, so as to discharge the gas in the recess 143, the gas pressure of the recess 143 is reduced, and the gas of the external environment approaches the standard atmospheric pressure, so that the second sealing part 142 is pressed to the direction of attaching to the connecting member 131 by the environmental pressure, the second sealing part 142 can be tightly attached to the connecting member 131, the connection stability of the sealing member 140 and the connecting member 131 is improved, in the process of assembling the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 to the body 110, the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 and the body 110 can extrude the sealing member 140, the limiting effect of the insertion slot on the insertion part can prevent the sealing member 140 from deviating from the sealing position, which is beneficial to improve the convenience of the user to assemble the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 to the body 110.

[0170] The specific installation process of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is as follows: the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is inserted into the body 110, when the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 moves to the installation position, that is, the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 is installed in place, the limiting part on the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 abuts against the limiting groove on the side wall of the body 110, avoiding the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 from continuously moving towards the opening of the body 110, then the container bottom wall 116 is installed on the container side wall 113, the container bottom wall 116 can abut against one side of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130, so the container bottom wall 116 can also limit the ultrasonic wave generating device 130, avoiding the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 from being separated from the body 110, the limiting groove and the container bottom wall 116 limit the opposite sides of the ultrasonic wave generating device 130, so as to stably fix the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 on the body 110, avoiding the ultrasonic wave generating device 130 from shaking.

[0171] The buckle assembly can be arranged on the container side wall 113 and / or the container bottom wall 116, the container side wall 113 and the container bottom wall 116 are connected through the buckle assembly, without other locking components to connect the container side wall 113 and the container bottom wall 116, reducing the number of parts of the container 100, and improving the connection convenience of the container side wall 113 and the container bottom wall 116.

[0172] The container side wall 113 comprises: a first side wall 114; and a second side wall 115 arranged on the first side wall 114, the container bottom wall 116 is detachably connected to the second side wall 115, and at least the second side wall 115 of the container side wall 113 is a non-metal side wall. Since the buckle assembly needs to be arranged between the second side wall 115 and the container bottom wall 116, the non-metal side wall is easier to process the buckle structure, which can improve the processing convenience of the container side wall 113, and the first side wall 114 can be a non-metal side wall or a metal side wall.

[0173] In combination with Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in a possible embodiment, the second inclined part 112 is arranged on the first side wall 114, and the first side wall 114 is a metal side wall. Since the second inclined part 112 needs to exchange heat with the refrigeration assembly or the heating assembly in the shell 200, the second inclined part 112 needs to have good thermal conductivity, and the thermal conductivity of metal is stronger than that of non-metal, so the first side wall 114 is arranged as a metal side wall, which can ensure that the solution in the container 100 exchanges heat with the refrigeration assembly or the heating assembly efficiently.

[0174] The top and middle part of the body 110 is a one-piece formed part, which can be formed by an oil pressure process. The bottom of the body 110 comprises a secondary injection part, i.e. the second side wall 115, which is provided with a partial "S" shape in cross section, so as to increase the connection strength of the injection part. The container side wall 113 and the container bottom wall 116 are snap-connected, without the need for screws, and the overall number of parts is small.
