[0002] Existing control methods and food processors generally determine the machine's speed, gear, and required functions based on the selected gear. For example, after pressing the "start" button, the machine begins executing the corresponding function based on the selected gear, and stops executing the function after releasing the "start" button.

[0003] Therefore, existing food processing machines have the following problems:

[0004] I. Existing food processing machines require continuous operation by users and cannot complete tasks automatically, thus limiting the user's usage scenarios;

[0005] Second, existing food processing machine users visually assess the state of the ingredients during processing, relying on their senses to determine whether the ingredients have been processed to the required particle size. This lacks a quantitative approach to food processing and results in a high degree of randomness.

[0006] Third, existing food processing machines have limited functions, low levels of intelligence, and are very inconvenient to operate.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a control method and a food processing machine to at least solve the aforementioned problems existing in the control methods and food processing machines of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Optionally, the food processing event is reached by: obtaining second specified feedback information based on the last-level guidance information to determine the food processing event, wherein the second specified feedback information is generated by the user selecting a response event based on the last-level guidance information.

[0012] Optionally, after matching automatic processing parameters based on the food processing event, the process includes: determining whether the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters; when the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters, sequentially executing a pre-mixing stage and a grinding stage based on the automatic processing parameters.

[0013] Optionally, after completing the pre-mixing stage, the grinding stage is entered after a first preset time interval; in the pre-mixing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to perform a pre-mixing process at least once at a first speed for a second preset time.

[0014] Optionally, during the pre-mixing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to perform a pre-mixing process at least once at full power speed for a second preset duration.

[0015] Optionally, during the pulverizing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to rotate intermittently at a second rotational speed.

[0016] Optionally, controlling the blades of the food processor to rotate intermittently at a second rotation speed includes: cyclically controlling the blades of the food processor to rotate at the second rotation speed for a third preset time; when the third preset time is reached, controlling the blades of the food processor to stop rotating for a fourth preset time, until the total cycle time reaches a fifth preset time, thus completing the pulverizing stage; wherein the fifth preset time is determined based on the food processing event.

[0017] Optionally, when the automatic processing parameters are the same as the vegetable processing parameters, the grinding stage is based on the automatic processing parameters.

[0018] According to another aspect of this application, a food processing machine is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform the control method of the food processing machine described in any of the preceding claims.

[0019] This application provides a control method for a food processor. The control method includes: upon receiving a power-on signal, outputting guidance information, wherein the guidance information is used to indicate response events, each guidance information is sequentially associated with multiple levels of guidance information, and each level of guidance information indicates multiple response events; sequentially and cyclically obtaining user feedback information, and outputting sub-guidance information based on the user feedback information until a food processing event is reached; the feedback information is the user's selection of the response event; and matching automatic processing parameters based on the food processing event.

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the control panel of a food processing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0026] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control method for a food processing machine is provided. It is understood that the control method for a food processing machine provided in this application can be applied to food processing machines, which may include food processors such as choppers, soymilk makers, blenders, juicers, yogurt makers, grinders, and baby food processors. To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in this application, a chopper is used as an optional embodiment in the description of the technical solutions.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an optional control method for a food processing machine according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the process of this method may include the following steps:

[0028] Step S102. After obtaining the power-on signal, output guidance information, wherein the guidance information is used to indicate response events, each guidance information is sequentially associated with multiple levels of guidance information, and each level of guidance information indicates multiple response events;

[0029] Regarding the technical solution in step S102, as an optional embodiment, the power-on signal can be a signal triggered when the chopper is powered on, or a signal triggered by a specific button selected by the user on the chopper; no specific limitation is made here. The guidance information can output the instruction of the response menu corresponding to the current guidance information, and the response event can be an event menu or a menu option. Each guidance information is sequentially associated with multiple levels of guidance information, and each level of guidance information indicates multiple response events. For example, taking minced meat information as an exemplary embodiment for explanation: when the first guidance information is minced meat information, the response event indicated by the first guidance information is a menu responding to the minced meat information. The multiple levels of guidance information associated with the first guidance information are minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, minced meat texture information, and other information associated with the minced meat information; and events responding to minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, minced meat texture information, and other information associated with the minced meat information are indicated based on the minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, minced meat texture information, and other information associated with the minced meat information.

[0030] Understandably, by setting guidance information that indicates response events, users can be guided to select from menus or menu options, thus solving the problem of unfamiliarity with operation caused by novice users and complex instruction manuals. By sequentially associating each level of guidance information with multiple levels of guidance information, and each level indicating multiple response events, the technical effect of enabling multiple function selections of the food processing machine based on multiple response events can be achieved.

[0031] Step S104. Execute the process of obtaining user feedback information in a loop, and outputting sub-guidance information based on the user feedback information, until a food processing event is reached; the feedback information is the feedback information of the user selecting the response event;

[0032] Regarding the technical solution in step S104 above, after outputting multiple response events corresponding to multi-level guidance information, user feedback information is obtained cyclically according to the response events, and sub-guidance information is output based on the user feedback information until a food processing event is reached. For example, taking the first guidance information as information guiding the user to select the type of chopped ingredients as an exemplary embodiment: when the first guidance information guides the user to select the type of chopped ingredients, the response event indicated by the first guidance information is a menu for selecting the type of chopped ingredients. Then, the multi-level guidance information associated with the first guidance information includes information related to the menu for chopped ingredients, such as information for minced meat and minced vegetables. Taking the user selecting the minced meat menu as an example, when the user selects the minced meat menu, the feedback information obtained is the minced meat information. Based on this minced meat information, guidance information is output, which includes information related to the minced meat information such as minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, and minced meat texture information. Events related to the minced meat information, such as the minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, and minced meat texture information, are then triggered based on this information. For example, when the user selects the minced meat type information menu, guidance information is output based on this menu, which includes information related to the minced meat type information menu such as beef menu, pork menu, and chicken menu, etc., until a food processing event is reached. This food processing event can include processing events specified by the user in any level of sub-guidance information; for example, a processing event where the user specifies a processing option in the third-level sub-guidance information to process small portions of pork into small meat chunks. It is understood that the food processing event can also be an intermediate processing option in the sub-guide information, and the user can select the intermediate processing option in the sub-guide information through double-clicking the button, timeout, or other operations.

[0033] Step S106. Match automatic processing parameters based on the food processing event.

[0034] Regarding the technical solution in step S106, after a food processing event is reached, automatic processing parameters are matched based on the food processing event. As an exemplary embodiment, the food processing event is described as processing a small portion of pork into small meat pieces. After the food processing event of processing a small portion of pork into small meat pieces is reached, automatic processing parameters are matched based on this event; the automatic processing parameters may include information such as the chopper's rotation speed, operating mode, and operating time. It is understood that the chopper's rotation speed, operating mode, and operating time are the operating information of the chopper capable of processing a small portion of pork into small meat pieces. For example, it is possible to test at what rotation speed, operating mode, and operating time the chopper can process a small portion of pork into small meat pieces, and store the chopper's rotation speed, operating mode, and operating time at this time as the automatic processing parameters matched for the food processing event of processing a small portion of pork into small meat pieces in the memory. When a food processing event of processing small portions of pork into small meat pieces is detected again, the relevant processing parameters are directly retrieved from the memory to achieve automatic processing parameter matching based on the food processing event, thereby realizing the automatic operation of the food processing machine.

[0035] Through steps S102 to S106 above, after obtaining the power-on signal, guidance information is output. This guidance information indicates response events, and each guidance information is sequentially associated with multiple levels of guidance information. Each level of guidance information indicates multiple response events. The process cyclically acquires user feedback information and outputs sub-guidance information based on this feedback until a food processing event is reached. This feedback information is the user's selection of the response event. Automatic processing parameters are then matched based on the food processing event. This control method guides users to select functions according to the corresponding menus, solving the problem of users being unable to operate the machine due to unfamiliarity with the features and complex instruction manuals. By sequentially associating each guidance information with multiple levels of guidance information, and each level indicating multiple response events, the machine can achieve multiple function selections based on multiple response events, match automatic processing parameters based on the food processing events, and ultimately achieve automatic operation.

[0036] As an exemplary embodiment, the process of reaching a food processing event includes: determining, in any level of guidance information, whether a first specified feedback information for a user-specified processing event has been obtained; and when the specified feedback information is obtained, determining the food processing event based on the first specified feedback information.

[0037] For the above technical solution, an exemplary embodiment is described using the first guidance information as information guiding the user to select the type of chopped ingredients: When the first guidance information guides the user to select the type of chopped ingredients, the response event indicated by the first guidance information is a menu for selecting the type of chopped ingredients. The multi-level guidance information associated with the first guidance information includes information related to the menu for chopped ingredients, such as information on minced meat and minced vegetables. Taking the user selecting the minced meat menu as an example, when the user selects the minced meat menu, the feedback information obtained from the user is the minced meat information. Based on the minced meat information, guidance information is output, which includes information related to the minced meat information, such as minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, and minced meat texture information. Furthermore, events are indicated to respond to menus related to the minced meat information, such as the minced meat type information menu, minced meat quantity information menu, and minced meat texture information menu, based on the minced meat type information, minced meat quantity information, and minced meat texture information menu. The minced meat type information menu, minced meat quantity information menu, and minced meat texture information menu selected by the user are used as feedback information. Taking the user's selected feedback information as the minced meat type information menu as an example, when the user selects the minced meat type information menu, it is determined that the specified feedback information has not been obtained. Based on the minced meat type information menu, guidance information is output. At this time, the output guidance information is information related to the minced meat type information menu, such as beef menu, pork menu, chicken menu, etc. For example, when the user selects the beef menu information as the feedback information, it is determined that the specified feedback information has been obtained. Based on the beef menu information, the food processing event is determined to be beef processing.

[0038] In this context, it can be understood that when the user's selected beef menu information is used as feedback information, after determining that the specified feedback information has been obtained and identifying the food processing event as beef processing based on the beef menu information, a response event related to the beef menu information can be indicated based on the user's selected beef menu information. Furthermore, it can be determined whether the first specified feedback information for the user-specified processing event has been obtained based on the guidance information at the beef menu information level. When the specified feedback information is obtained, the food processing event is determined based on the first specified feedback information. For example, if the guidance information at the beef menu information level indicates that the user has selected, for instance, a small portion of beef, it can be determined that the first specified feedback information for the user-specified processing event has been obtained, and the food processing event is determined to be a small portion of beef processing event based on the first specified feedback information for the small portion of beef processing event.

[0039] The above control method enables multi-level guidance for the food processing machine, and determines whether there is a first specified feedback message for a user-specified processing event under any given level of guidance information. This achieves the technical effect of comprehensively determining food processing events based on multiple arbitrary levels of guidance information.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the reaching of the food processing event includes: obtaining second specified feedback information based on the last-level guidance information to determine the food processing event, wherein the second specified feedback information is generated by the user selecting a response event based on the last-level guidance information.

[0041] For the above technical solution, the food processing event that can most accurately determine the working parameters of the food processor can be used as the second designated feedback information for the final level of guidance information feedback, so as to achieve a more precise automatic control effect of the food processor. For example, taking the event indicated by the first-level guidance information as instructing the user to select the type of food to be processed as an example, this solution is described as an optional embodiment. When the event indicated by the first-level guidance information is instructing the user to select the type of food to be processed, the indicated response event is responding to the meat food menu and the vegetable food menu. When the user's feedback information is that the meat food menu information is selected, the second-level guidance information is output based on the type of food menu information. At this time, the event indicated by the second-level guidance information is instructing the user to select the type of meat menu. When the user's feedback information is that the selected type of meat menu is pork, the event indicated by the third-level guidance information is instructing the user to select the pork texture menu, the pork portion size menu, and the pork particle size menu. When the user feedback indicates a selection of pork portion size from the menu, a fourth-level guidance message is output based on this. This fourth-level guidance message indicates that the user should select a portion size. The obtained user feedback regarding the pork portion size and meat type is used as the first specified feedback message. The fourth-level guidance message is then used as the final-level guidance message. The portion size information selected based on the final-level guidance message is used as the second specified feedback message. This second specified feedback message then determines the food processing event, specifically defining the processing of meat, pork, portion size, and small portion size as the food processing event. The food processing event can also be a recipe determined based on the processing of meat, pork, portion size, and small portion size. After determining the recipe based on the above food processing event, the corresponding recipe information determines the operating parameters of the food processor.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, this application provides an exemplary scheme for determining recipe information for different portions of beef and pork, as shown in Table 1, and for determining the automatic operating parameters of the food processing machine based on the recipe information. See Table 1:

[0043]

[0044] Table 1

[0045] Through the above technical solution, the meat grinding process is automatically completed, automatically stopped, and a completion prompt is displayed. This achieves the technical effect that when the working information of the food processor is meat grinding information, the corresponding recipe information is determined based on the meat grinding information, the automatic working parameters of the food processor are determined according to the recipe, and the meat grinding process is automatically completed, automatically stopped, and a completion prompt is displayed.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, after matching automatic processing parameters based on the food processing event, the process includes: sequentially performing a pre-mixing stage and a pulverizing stage based on the automatic processing parameters.

[0047] Because existing food processors with follow-up functions typically use a full-power grinding technology during operation, this technology results in poor uniformity of the final shredded ingredients. Furthermore, during the grinding process, large pieces of food can impact the cup wall, causing shaking.

[0048] To achieve uniformity and controllability in meat grinding, as an exemplary embodiment, after matching automatic processing parameters based on the food processing events, the process includes: sequentially executing a pre-mixing stage and a grinding stage based on the automatic processing parameters. The pre-mixing stage can be set to control the food processor to operate at full speed for a preset duration; after executing the pre-mixing stage, the meat grinding stage is executed; the meat grinding stage is set to control the food processor to cyclically perform intermittent operations at a preset speed within a preset duration.

[0049] Regarding the above technical solution, the pre-mixing stage can be either full-power grinding once every 2 seconds or multiple times every 2 seconds. By grinding at full power for 2 seconds, firstly, the food particles are ensured to fall evenly to the bottom of the cup after mixing, lowering the overall center of gravity of the equipment and reducing shaking caused by an excessively high center due to unevenness. Secondly, full-power grinding for 2 seconds can reduce the particle size of the food in a short time, reducing the shaking problem caused by large food particles hitting the cup wall. Furthermore, by setting the pre-mixing stage to multiple times every 2 seconds at full power, the problem of excessive instantaneous current during startup caused by the rapid start-up of the food processor when the food particles are too large can be solved.

[0050] The above technical solution solves the technical problems of poor uniformity of the final shredded food particles caused by the full-power shredding technology used in existing food processing machines, as well as the problem of large food pieces hitting the cup wall and causing shaking. It improves the uniformity and controllability of shredding, reduces the shaking caused by excessive center height due to unevenness, and prevents uneven shredding caused by continuous shredding, thus ensuring the uniformity of the particle size of the shredded food particles.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, after the pre-mixing stage is completed, the grinding stage is entered after a first preset time interval; in the pre-mixing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to perform a pre-mixing process at least once at a first speed for a second preset time.

[0052] For the above technical solution, the first rotational speed can be half rotational speed, and the second preset duration can be 2 seconds. Therefore, the pre-stirring stage can be half rotational speed crushing once every 2 seconds, or it can be set to full power crushing several times every 2 seconds. After completing the pre-stirring stage, entering the crushing stage after a first preset duration can ensure that the food pieces fall evenly to the bottom of the cup after stirring, lowering the overall center of gravity of the equipment and reducing the shaking caused by an excessively high center due to unevenness. Secondly, full power crushing for 2 seconds can reduce the particle size of the food in a short time, reducing the shaking problem caused by large food pieces hitting the cup wall. And by setting the pre-stirring stage to full power crushing several times every 2 seconds, the problem of excessive instantaneous current during startup caused by the food processor starting too quickly when the food particles are too large can be solved.

[0053] The above technical solution ensures that all food pieces fall to the bottom of the cup after stirring, lowering the overall center of gravity of the equipment and reducing shaking caused by an excessively high center due to uneven mixing. It also reduces the size of food particles, minimizing the problem of large food pieces impacting the cup wall and causing shaking.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, during the pre-mixing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to perform a pre-mixing process at least once at full power speed for a second preset duration.

[0055] In practical applications, users may add large quantities of ingredients to the food processor. If the processor rotates at half speed for 2 seconds, the pre-mixing may be incomplete. Therefore, to address this issue of incomplete mixing when adding large quantities of ingredients, the food processor's blades are controlled to perform at least one pre-mixing process at full power speed for a second preset duration during the pre-mixing stage.

[0056] The above methods ensured the feasibility of the pre-mixing stage.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, during the pulverizing stage, the blades of the food processor are controlled to rotate intermittently at a second rotational speed.

[0058] Existing food processors with pulverizing functions typically employ a full-power pulverizing technology. When a large amount of food is added during the pulverizing stage, this can lead to obstructed blade movement and excessive current. Therefore, to address this issue in existing food processors, the blades are controlled to rotate intermittently at a second rotational speed.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, controlling the blade of the food processor to rotate intermittently at a second rotation speed includes: cyclically controlling the blade of the food processor to rotate at the second rotation speed for a third preset time; when the third preset time is reached, controlling the blade of the food processor to stop rotating for a fourth preset time, until the total cycle time reaches a fifth preset time, thus completing the pulverizing stage, wherein the fifth preset time is determined based on the food processing event.

[0060] In the above technical solution, the fifth preset duration is determined based on the food processing event. For example, different fifth preset durations can be configured for food processing events of small portions of beef with medium texture and small portions of pork with medium texture. It can be understood that the fifth preset duration is based on the effect corresponding to the food processing event that achieves the user's target taste. Specifically, experiments can be conducted to determine the value of the fifth preset duration that achieves the expected effect of a small portion of beef with medium texture in the food processing event. The value of the fifth preset duration at this time is stored in memory. When it is determined that the food processing event is a small portion of beef with medium texture, the fifth preset duration corresponding to this food processing event is read from memory as the current fifth preset duration to achieve the effect corresponding to the food processing event that achieves the user's target taste.

[0061] The above technical solution achieves the effect of processing ingredients to the user's target food processing event.

[0062] As an optional embodiment, before sequentially executing the pre-mixing stage and the grinding stage based on the automatic processing parameters, the method includes: determining whether the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters; when the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters, proceeding to sequentially execute the pre-mixing stage and the grinding stage based on the automatic processing parameters.

[0063] Regarding the above technical solution, since the mass of vegetables is usually less than that of meat for the same volume when adding vegetables to the food processor, and given a fixed volume of the food processor, filling it with vegetables will not cause large pieces of food to hit the cup wall and shake during the grinding process. To simplify the control process of the food processor and increase its processing efficiency, it is determined whether the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters; when the automatic processing parameters are meat processing parameters, the process proceeds to the pre-mixing stage and the grinding stage sequentially based on those parameters.

[0064] The above technical solutions simplify the control process of food processing machines and increase their processing efficiency.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the control panel of a food processing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. For ease of understanding of the technical solution of this application, it is now described in accordance with... Figure 2 The control method of the food processing machine of this application is described.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, after the food processor is powered on, it outputs guidance information. This guidance information includes illuminating indicator lights for the "Meat," "Vegetables," and "Speed ​​Adjustment" buttons to guide the user to select the "Meat," "Vegetables," or "Speed ​​Adjustment" function.

[0067] When a user selects the meat function, the system obtains the user's feedback information as meat function information and outputs sub-guide information based on this information. This sub-guide information includes illuminating the "Taste" and "Quantity" buttons, guiding the user to select the desired state and quantity of the ingredients they add to the cup, and informing the user of their current selection via indicator lights.

[0068] When a user selects the texture function, the system obtains the user's feedback information, including texture function information and / or meat portion information. Based on this texture function information, it outputs subsequent sub-guided information. This subsequent sub-guided information includes illuminating the "Minced Meat," "Smoked Meat," "Meat Granules," and / or "Small," "Medium," and "Large" buttons, guiding the user to select the desired state and quantity of the ingredients added to the cup, and informing the user of their current selection via indicator lights.

[0069] When the user's feedback information is pork, minced pork, or small portion of minced pork, pork and minced pork are used as the first specified feedback information, and the lowest-level small portion of minced pork is used as the second specified feedback information. Based on the first and second specified feedback information, the food processing event is determined to be small portion of minced pork.

[0070] After the food processing event is determined, the quantitative recipe is loaded, the method and duration of meat grinding are determined, and the meat grinding blades are automatically controlled to rotate and stop until the desired meat particles are produced. Then, the process is automatically stopped, and the user is prompted that the process is complete and the machine returns to standby mode to wait for the next meat grinding cycle.

[0071] According to another aspect of this application, a food processing machine is provided, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform the control method of the food processing machine described in any of the preceding claims.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
