[0039] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

The memory 1005 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) memory or a non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. The memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.
[0042] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the food processor, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005 identified as a computer storage medium may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a food processor cleaning program.
[0044] exist Figure 1 In the food processor shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used to connect to the background server and communicate data with the background server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to the user device; the food processor calls the food processor cleaning program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001, and executes the food processor cleaning method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.
[0045] Based on the above hardware structure, an embodiment of a food processor cleaning method of the present invention is proposed.
[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention, and provides a first embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention.
[0047] In a first embodiment, the food processor cleaning method includes the following steps:
[0048] Step S10: When it is detected that the cleaning button is triggered, the heating mechanism of the food processor is driven to heat the cup body.
[0049] It should be understood that the execution subject of this embodiment is the food processor described above, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Specifically, the execution subject of this embodiment can also be the processor in the food processor described above. This embodiment is described using the processor as an example.
[0050] It should be noted that the cleaning button can be a physical button or a virtual button. The cleaning button is part of the food processor's interactive module, which is used by the user to control the food processor's operation and for the food processor to provide feedback on operating parameters to the user. The interactive module may also include a display screen and other function buttons. When the user needs to control the food processor to perform a cleaning operation, they press the cleaning button; the cleaning button sends a trigger signal to the processor, and upon receiving the trigger signal, the processor determines that the cleaning button has been triggered.
[0051] Typically, a food processor consists of a base and a cup. The base provides support and control functions, while the cup holds ingredients and processes them. Because the processing may involve stirring, heating, and cutting, food processors often include stirring, heating, or cutting mechanisms. The specific structures and drive methods of stirring, heating, and cutting mechanisms are well-established technologies and will not be detailed in this embodiment.
[0052] In this embodiment, in response to the user's cleaning operation, the cup body of the food processor is preliminarily heated to prepare for subsequent cleaning. In a specific implementation, the heating mechanism can be operated at low power (such as 500W) during the preliminarily heating process to avoid damaging the food processor.
[0053] Step S20: obtaining the real-time temperature value of the cup body during the heating process.
[0054] It should be noted that the cup body may be provided with one or more temperature sensors connected to the processor. The temperature sensors generate feedback signals based on the temperature within the cup body. The processor reads the feedback signals from the temperature sensors to obtain the temperature within the cup body. In a specific implementation, the temperature sensors may be located at the bottom of the cup body to more accurately obtain the temperature within the cup body. Of course, other methods are also possible for obtaining the temperature within the cup body, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0055] In this embodiment, to ensure accurate temperature acquisition, the processor simultaneously drives the heating structure to heat the cup and also activates the stirring mechanism within the cup. When water is present, stirring ensures more even heating of the water. When water is absent, stirring allows air to circulate, ensuring even heating of the air within the cup. Of course, to ensure safety, the stirring mechanism should be operated at a low speed, such as less than 1000 rpm.
[0056] Step S30: Determine the cleaning mode according to the rate of change of the real-time temperature value.
[0057] In this embodiment, to improve cleaning performance, the food processor integrates multiple cleaning modes. For example, the cleaning mode can be divided into a drying mode and a water washing mode based on the amount of water in the cup. Of course, the water washing mode can also be divided into a low-water washing mode and a high-water washing mode based on the amount of water available.
[0058] It should be noted that to improve user convenience, there is only one cleaning button. The user only needs to press the cleaning button when cleaning the food processor, and the processor will determine the specific cleaning mode to be executed based on the actual water level in the cup.
[0059] It's understandable that the more water in the cup, the slower the temperature rises; the less water, the faster the temperature rises. Therefore, the rate of change of the real-time temperature inside the cup can be used to determine the amount of water in the cup and select the appropriate cleaning mode.
[0060] In a specific implementation, one or more time periods can be selected during the heating process of the cup body, and the temperature change rate within each time period can be calculated. The rate of change of the real-time temperature value can then be statistically determined. Alternatively, the time it takes for the real-time temperature value to reach a predetermined temperature can be detected. The shorter the time, the faster the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, indicating less water in the cup body; the longer the time, the slower the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, indicating more water in the cup body. Of course, other methods can also be used to determine the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0061] Step S40: Control the food processor to enter a cleaning mode.
[0062] It should be noted that different cleaning modes correspond to different control processes; for example, the drying mode primarily utilizes high temperatures for cleaning, while the water washing mode primarily utilizes water agitation for cleaning. Therefore, after determining the cleaning mode to be executed, the processor can drive the various components of the food processor to operate according to the operating parameters corresponding to that cleaning mode. The specific operating parameters corresponding to each cleaning mode can be set as needed and are not limited in this embodiment.
[0063] In the first embodiment, upon detecting that the clean button has been triggered, the food processor's heating mechanism activates the cup to heat the cup; then, the real-time temperature of the cup during the heating process is acquired; the cleaning mode is determined based on the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, and the food processor is finally controlled to enter the cleaning mode. This embodiment responds to user-triggered cleaning operations by detecting the temperature of the food processor cup, determining the water level within the cup based on the temperature, and then determining the cleaning mode to be executed by the food processor, thus reducing user operations and improving the user experience.
[0064] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention. Based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention is proposed.
[0065] In the second embodiment, step S30 may include:
[0066] S301: When the real-time temperature value does not reach a first preset temperature within a first preset heating time period, determining that the cleaning mode is a water washing mode, and the first preset temperature is greater than the boiling point of water.
[0067] In this embodiment, for ease of control, the cleaning mode includes a washing mode and a drying mode. Therefore, this embodiment only needs to determine whether there is sufficient water in the cup, and then select the desired mode from the washing and drying modes. At standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is 100°C; therefore, when there is sufficient water in the cup, heat is absorbed by the water, and the real-time temperature inside the cup will not exceed 100°C. When there is no water in the cup, the temperature inside the cup can exceed 100°C.
[0068] In a specific implementation, to simplify the detection process, the rate of change of the real-time temperature value inside the cup is determined by determining whether the real-time temperature value reaches a first preset temperature within a first preset time period. If the real-time temperature value reaches the first preset temperature, it indicates that the amount of water in the cup is insufficient; if the real-time temperature value does not reach the first preset temperature, it indicates that the amount of water in the cup is sufficient.
[0069] It should be noted that the start time of the first preset time period may be the time when the heating mechanism begins operating. Due to the effect of water evaporation, if the amount of water in the cup is small, the real-time temperature value inside the cup will not immediately exceed the first preset temperature; however, after all the water has evaporated, the real-time temperature value will exceed the first preset temperature. Therefore, the first preset time period should not be too short to prevent rapid evaporation of water during the washing process.
[0070] In this embodiment, to achieve a better cleaning effect, step S40 may include: when the cleaning mode is the water washing mode, driving the stirring mechanism in the cup body to run at a first speed; increasing the heating power of the heating mechanism to continue heating the cup body.
[0071] It should be noted that the water washing mode mainly uses water flow to clean the cup body, so the stirring mechanism can drive the water in the cup body to clean it. In addition, to improve the water washing effect, the water temperature can be further increased and hot water can be used to clean the cup body.
[0072] In a specific implementation, the heating mechanism can be controlled simultaneously with the stirring mechanism, that is, the stirring mechanism is driven according to the first speed while the heating mechanism is driven according to the water washing heating power. Specifically, the first speed can be greater than 8000 rpm, and the water washing heating power can be 800W or 1000W.
[0073] In a specific implementation, in order to avoid damage to the cup body caused by continuous heating, the heating mechanism can be stopped when the real-time temperature value reaches a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature.
[0074] It should be noted that to ensure a cleansing effect, the stirring mechanism continues to operate after the heating mechanism stops generating heat. The stirring mechanism continues to operate for a second preset time period before stopping, and the food processor exits the water-washing mode. The second preset time period can be 3 minutes or 5 minutes, or can be set as needed, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0075] In a second embodiment, if the real-time temperature value does not reach the first preset temperature within the first preset heating time period, the food processor enters a water-washing mode. This mode operates by driving the stirring mechanism within the cup body at a first speed and increasing the heating power of the heating mechanism. When the real-time temperature value reaches a second preset temperature, the heating mechanism is turned off. Finally, the stirring mechanism is continued to operate for a period of time to complete the water-washing process, thereby achieving a good cleaning and sterilization effect.
[0076] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention. Based on the first and second embodiments described above, a third embodiment of a food processor cleaning method according to the present invention is proposed.
[0077] In the third embodiment, step S30 may further include:
[0078] Step S302: When the real-time temperature value reaches a first preset temperature within a first preset heating time period, the cleaning mode is determined to be a drying mode, and the first preset temperature is greater than the boiling point of water.
[0079] Referring to the second embodiment, the built-in cleaning mode of the food processor also includes drying. If the real-time temperature value reaches the first preset temperature within the first preset heating time period, it means that there is no water in the cup body or the water volume is insufficient. At this time, the food processor can enter the drying mode.
[0080] It is understood that since the above detection process is real-time detection, if the real-time temperature value reaches the first preset temperature within the first preset time period, the food processor will directly enter the drying mode. For example, assuming the first preset time period is 1 minute and the first preset temperature is 120°C, if the real-time temperature value reaches 120°C 30 seconds after the heating mechanism is turned on, the food processor will begin executing the control program corresponding to the drying mode 30 seconds later.
[0081] In this embodiment, in order to achieve a better cleaning effect, step S40 may also include: when the cleaning mode is the drying mode, driving the stirring mechanism in the cup body to operate at a second speed; driving the heating mechanism to keep the real-time temperature value at a third preset temperature, and continuing to heat the cup body, and the third preset temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature.
[0082] It should be noted that since there is no water in the cup, the drying mode primarily utilizes high-temperature airflow to clean the cup. Therefore, the speed requirement for the stirring mechanism is not as high as that in the water washing mode, so the second speed can be less than 1000 rpm. At the same time, to ensure the drying effect, the gas temperature in the cup can be kept constant. To prevent the gas temperature from rising too quickly, the heating mechanism in the drying mode should not be too high. For example, if the heating power of the heating mechanism is 500W when the food processor is not in the cleaning mode, when the food processor enters the drying mode, the heating power is also controlled at around 500W. In particular, to achieve a better sterilization effect, the third preset temperature can be greater than the first preset temperature, such as 200°C. The third preset temperature needs to be determined based on the material of the cup to avoid damage to the cup.
[0083] In this embodiment, the food processor uses a cooling method before exiting the drying mode. Specifically, after the real-time temperature value remains at a third preset temperature for a third preset time period, the heating mechanism is deactivated; after the heating mechanism remains inactive for a fourth preset time period, the stirring mechanism is deactivated.
[0084] In a specific implementation, the real-time temperature value is maintained at the third preset temperature for the primary cleaning time, so the third preset time period can be slightly longer, such as 5 or 10 minutes. After the heating mechanism stops heating, the temperature inside the cup begins to drop, while the stirring mechanism continues to rotate, accelerating the cooling process. After the fourth preset time period, the temperature inside the cup returns to a substantially normal temperature, and the food processor exits the drying mode. The fourth preset time period can be 1 or 2 minutes. Of course, the duration of the third and fourth preset time periods can be set as needed and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0085] In a third embodiment, when the real-time temperature reaches a first preset temperature within a first preset heating period, the food processor enters a drying mode. This mode operates by driving the stirring mechanism within the cup body at a second speed and simultaneously driving the heating mechanism to maintain the real-time temperature at a third preset temperature. After the real-time temperature remains at the third preset temperature for a third preset period, the heating mechanism is turned off. Finally, the stirring mechanism is continued to operate for a period of time to complete the drying process, thereby achieving a satisfactory cleaning and sterilization effect.
[0086] In addition, embodiments of the present invention further provide a storage medium storing a food processor cleaning program. When executed by a processor, the food processor cleaning program implements the steps of the food processor cleaning method described above. Because this storage medium can employ the technical solutions of all of the aforementioned embodiments, it at least possesses the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and therefore will not be detailed here.
[0087] In addition, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of a food processor cleaning device of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention also provides a food processor cleaning device.
[0088] In this embodiment, the food processor cleaning device may include:
[0089] The driving module 100 is used to drive the heating mechanism of the food processor to heat the cup body when it detects that the cleaning button is triggered.
[0090] It should be noted that the cleaning button can be a physical button or a virtual button. The cleaning button is part of the food processor's interactive module, which is used by the user to control the food processor's operation and for the food processor to provide feedback on operating parameters to the user. The interactive module may also include a display screen and other function buttons. When the user needs to control the food processor to perform a cleaning operation, they press the cleaning button; the cleaning button feeds back a trigger signal to the driver module 100. Upon receiving the trigger signal, the driver module 100 determines that the cleaning button has been triggered.
[0091] Typically, a food processor consists of a base and a cup. The base provides support and control functions, while the cup holds ingredients and processes them. Because the processing may involve stirring, heating, and cutting, food processors often include stirring, heating, or cutting mechanisms. The specific structures and drive methods of stirring, heating, and cutting mechanisms are well-established technologies and will not be detailed in this embodiment.
[0092] In this embodiment, in response to the user's cleaning operation, the cup body of the food processor is preliminarily heated to prepare for subsequent cleaning. In a specific implementation, the heating mechanism can be operated at low power (such as 500W) during the preliminarily heating process to avoid damaging the food processor.
[0093] The detection module 200 is used to obtain the real-time temperature value of the cup body during the heating process.
[0094] It should be noted that the cup body may be provided with one or more temperature sensors, which are connected to the detection module 200. The temperature sensors generate feedback signals based on the temperature value within the cup body. The detection module 200 obtains the temperature within the cup body by reading the feedback signals from the temperature sensors. In a specific implementation, the temperature sensors may be provided at the bottom of the cup body to more accurately obtain the temperature within the cup body. Of course, other methods for obtaining the temperature within the cup body are also possible, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0095] In this embodiment, to ensure accurate temperature measurements, the driver module 100 simultaneously drives the stirring mechanism within the cup while simultaneously heating the cup. When water is present, stirring ensures even heating of the water. When water is absent, stirring allows for air flow, ensuring even heating of the air within the cup. Of course, to ensure safety, the stirring mechanism should be operated at a low speed, such as less than 1000 rpm.
[0096] The judgment module 300 is used to determine the cleaning mode according to the change rate of the real-time temperature value.
[0097] In this embodiment, to improve cleaning performance, the food processor integrates multiple cleaning modes. For example, the cleaning mode can be divided into a drying mode and a water washing mode based on the amount of water in the cup. Of course, the water washing mode can also be divided into a low-water washing mode and a high-water washing mode based on the amount of water available.
[0098] It should be noted that, in order to improve the user's operating convenience, there is only one cleaning button. The user only needs to press the cleaning button when the food processor needs to be cleaned, and the judgment module 300 determines the specific cleaning mode to be executed based on the actual water volume in the cup body.
[0099] It's understandable that the more water in the cup, the slower the temperature rises; the less water, the faster the temperature rises. Therefore, the rate of change of the real-time temperature inside the cup can be used to determine the amount of water in the cup and select the appropriate cleaning mode.
[0100] In a specific implementation, one or more time periods can be selected during the heating process of the cup body, and the temperature change rate within each time period can be calculated. The rate of change of the real-time temperature value can then be statistically determined. Alternatively, the time it takes for the real-time temperature value to reach a predetermined temperature can be detected. The shorter the time, the faster the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, indicating less water in the cup body; the longer the time, the slower the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, indicating more water in the cup body. Of course, other methods can also be used to determine the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0101] The driving module 100 is also used to control the food processor to enter a cleaning mode.
[0102] It should be noted that different cleaning modes correspond to different control processes; for example, the drying mode primarily utilizes high temperatures for cleaning, while the water washing mode primarily utilizes water agitation for cleaning. Therefore, after determining the cleaning mode to be executed, the driver module 100 can drive the various components of the food processor to operate according to the operating parameters corresponding to that cleaning mode. The specific operating parameters corresponding to each cleaning mode can be set as needed and are not limited in this embodiment.
[0103] In this embodiment, upon detecting that the clean button has been triggered, the driver module 100 activates the food processor's heating mechanism to heat the cup. The detection module 200 then acquires the real-time temperature of the cup during the heating process. The judgment module 300 determines the cleaning mode based on the rate of change of the real-time temperature value, and finally, the driver module 100 controls the food processor to enter the cleaning mode. This embodiment responds to user-triggered cleaning operations by detecting the temperature within the food processor cup, determining the water level within the cup based on the temperature, and then determining the appropriate cleaning mode for the food processor. This reduces user effort and improves the user experience.
[0104] In one embodiment, the judgment module 300 is further configured to determine that the cleaning mode is the water washing mode when the real-time temperature value does not reach the first preset temperature within the first preset heating time period, and the first preset temperature is greater than the boiling point of water.
[0105] In one embodiment, the driving module 100 is further configured to drive the stirring mechanism in the cup body to operate at a first speed when the cleaning mode is a water washing mode; and to increase the heating power of the heating mechanism to continue heating the cup body.
[0106] In one embodiment, the driving module 100 is further used to stop driving the heating mechanism when the real-time temperature value reaches a second preset temperature, and the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature; and stop driving the stirring mechanism after the heating mechanism stops for a second preset time period.
[0107] In one embodiment, the judgment module 300 is further configured to determine that the cleaning mode is the drying mode when the real-time temperature value reaches a first preset temperature within a first preset heating time period, and the first preset temperature is greater than the boiling point of water.
[0108] In one embodiment, the driving module 100 is also used to drive the stirring mechanism in the cup body to operate at a second speed when the cleaning mode is the drying mode; drive the heating mechanism to keep the real-time temperature value at a third preset temperature, and continue to heat the cup body, and the third preset temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature.
[0109] In one embodiment, the driving module 100 is further configured to stop driving the heating mechanism after the real-time temperature value is maintained at the third preset temperature for a third preset time period; and stop driving the stirring mechanism after the heating mechanism stops for a fourth preset time period.
[0110] Other embodiments or specific implementations of the food processor cleaning device of the present invention can refer to the above-mentioned method embodiments, and therefore at least have all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
