Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, relates to a control method and device for a food processor, a readable storage medium, and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Current blenders typically only juice food and cannot automatically grind, brew, or filter coffee. Summary of the Invention

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

[0004] Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to provide a control method for a food processing machine.

[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a control device for a food processing machine.

[0006] A third objective of this invention is to provide a readable storage medium.

[0007] The fourth objective of this invention is to provide a food processing machine.

[0008] The fifth objective of this invention is to provide a food processing machine.

[0009] To achieve at least one of the above objectives, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a control method for a food processor is provided. The food processor includes a cup body and an instant heating device. The cup body is used to hold food ingredients, and a stirring device is provided inside the cup body. The instant heating device can heat the liquid before it is injected into the cup body. The food processor also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body and a switch capable of opening and closing the first flow channel. A filter element is provided on the flow path of the first flow channel. The control method for the food processor includes: controlling the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time; controlling the instant heating device to heat the liquid to a first target temperature and then injecting the liquid into the cup body; controlling the stirring device to run at a second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract through mixing the food ingredients and the liquid; and controlling the switch to open the first flow channel to discharge the extract.

[0010] The present invention proposes a control method for a food processor, which is used to process ingredients through the food processor to obtain an extract of the ingredients. The ingredients may be coffee beans. The control method for the food processor can process coffee beans through the food processor to obtain a coffee extract.

[0011] Specifically, the food processor to which this control method is applied includes a cup body for holding food ingredients. The cup body contains a stirring device capable of operating at various speeds. At higher speeds, the stirring device can crush the food ingredients or agitate the liquid within the cup to clean it. At lower speeds, the stirring device merely agitates the liquid to prevent food residue from settling. Furthermore, the food processor also includes an instant heating device that heats the liquid before it is poured into the cup, allowing the liquid to be heated before being poured in. The instant heating device provides rapid heating, eliminating the need for long waiting times.

[0012] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body. Liquid inside the cup body can be discharged from the cup body through the first flow channel. The first flow channel is equipped with a filter element that can filter the liquid inside the cup body, so that the liquid is discharged after being filtered by the filter element. Optionally, the filter element is a filter screen. The food processor also includes a switch element that can open or close the first flow channel. The first flow channel can be opened or closed by moving the switch element.

[0013] The control method of the food processor proposed in this invention is as follows: After the ingredients are placed into the cup, the stirring device is first controlled to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time. This allows the stirring device to run at a high speed to break the ingredients into powder. After the stirring device breaks down the ingredients, the instant heating device is activated. The instant heating device heats the liquid to a first target temperature and then injects the heated liquid into the cup. In this way, the high-temperature liquid is injected into the cup, and the high-temperature liquid mixes with the powdered ingredients to obtain a solid-liquid mixture of the ingredients.

[0014] Furthermore, after the food powder is mixed with the high-temperature liquid, in order to ensure that the food is fully mixed with the liquid to obtain an extract, the stirring device is controlled to run at a second preset speed for a second preset time. This allows the stirring device to operate at a lower speed, ensuring thorough mixing of the high-temperature liquid and the food powder. After the stirring device has run for the second preset time, the liquid and food powder are sufficiently mixed, resulting in an extract.

[0015] Furthermore, after obtaining the extract from the ingredients, the control switch opens the first flow channel. The extract flows through the filter element in the first flow channel, where it filters the extract, removing any food residue. The filtered extract is then discharged through the first flow channel. Specifically, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh. This ensures good filtration performance, making the filter suitable for filtering beverages such as coffee. Limiting the mesh size within this range avoids the problem of slow filtration speed caused by a higher mesh size, thus improving filtration efficiency while maintaining filtration effectiveness. Furthermore, the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 The area of ​​the filter element should be less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup. This ensures that the filter element has sufficient surface area to filter the extract, improving filtration efficiency. Limiting the area of ​​the filter element to less than two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup avoids the problem of the filter element being difficult to clean due to its excessive size.

[0016] In one possible technical solution, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the control method of the food processor is as follows:

[0017] After placing the coffee beans into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to stir the coffee beans at a speed greater than 6000 rpm for 3 minutes or less. During the stirring process, the device can stir for 1 minute, stop for 10 seconds, and then continue stirring, or it can stir continuously to obtain coffee powder. After the coffee beans are stirred, the set amount of water is poured into the cup. Before pouring the water into the cup, the instant heating device is activated to heat the water to 90°C. Then, the heated water is poured into the cup, and the hot water mixes with the coffee powder to obtain a coffee mixture. The stirring device is then controlled to run again at a lower speed for 2 to 15 minutes to fully mix the coffee powder and hot water to obtain a coffee extract. Then, the switch is activated to open the first flow channel, and the coffee extract is discharged through the first flow channel. Since there is a filter in the first flow channel, the coffee extract is filtered through the filter during discharge, resulting in a coffee with a better taste.

[0018] In summary, the food processing machine control method proposed in this invention can agitate and crush solid ingredients, and can also perform instant heating treatment on liquids, mixing the rapidly heated liquid with powdered ingredients to obtain an extract. The extract is then filtered and discharged, thus realizing the extraction operation of ingredients and providing users with an extract with better taste. This achieves an automatic extraction process for ingredients, and the control method can also be used for coffee extraction.

[0019] The control method for the food processing machine according to the present invention may also have the following distinguishing technical features:

[0020] In the above technical solution, the second preset speed is further less than the first preset speed.

[0021] In this technical solution, the relationship between the second preset rotational speed and the first preset rotational speed is defined; specifically, the second preset rotational speed is less than the first preset rotational speed. The first preset rotational speed is greater than 6000 r / min. This allows the stirring device to operate at a higher first preset rotational speed, thereby breaking down the ingredients. When stirring a mixture of ingredients and liquid, the stirring device operates at a lower speed to avoid liquid splashing.

[0022] In the above technical solution, after the control switch opens the first flow channel, it further includes: controlling the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged.

[0023] In this technical solution, after the control switch opens the first flow channel, to prevent a large amount of impurities from depositing on the filter element, the stirring device needs to be operated until all the extract is discharged. Understandably, if the stirring device does not operate, and the extract is allowed to pass through the filter element normally, a large amount of impurities in the extract will directly settle on the filter element. This will significantly reduce the liquid flow path on the filter element, making it difficult for the extract to flow out. To avoid this problem, after the switch opens the first flow channel, the stirring device also needs to be operated. This stirs up the impurities in the extract, making it difficult for them to deposit on the filter element, thus allowing the extract to flow smoothly through the filter element and improving the filtration efficiency.

[0024] By opening the first flow channel with the switch and simultaneously controlling the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged, the impurities in the extract are stirred up by the stirring device, making it difficult for them to settle on the filter element. This allows the extract to flow smoothly through the filter element, improving the filtration efficiency of the filter element.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the food processor further includes a second flow channel connected to the cup body, and the method further includes: when the extract is completely discharged, controlling the switch to close the first and second flow channels and injecting a cleaning medium into the cup body; controlling the stirring device to perform stirring operation for a third preset time; controlling the switch to open the first and / or second flow channels to discharge the cleaning medium in the cup body.

[0026] In this technical solution, after the extraction liquid is drained, the food processor is controlled to perform a cleaning process on the cup. The food processor to which the control method proposed in this invention is applicable also includes a second flow channel connected to the cup. No filter is installed in the second flow channel; therefore, the liquid can be directly discharged through the second flow channel.

[0027] Specifically, after the extract has been completely drained, the control switch closes the first and second flow channels. At this point, the liquid in the cup cannot be drained, and then cleaning medium is injected into the cup. The cleaning medium can be manually poured into the cup by the operator, or it can be pumped into the cup from the storage tank by the pump assembly of the food processor. The cleaning medium cleans the cup. Then, the stirring device is controlled to stir for a third preset time. During this time, the stirring device can operate at a high speed to stir up impurities deposited on the filter element and float them in the cleaning medium.

[0028] Optionally, the speed range of the stirring device can be from 500 r / min to 15000 r / min. In order for the stirring device to better separate impurities from the filter element, the speed of the stirring device can be limited to the range of 7000 r / min to 10000 r / min. In this way, the stirring device can operate at a higher speed to separate impurities from the filter element, and the energy waste caused by the excessive speed of the stirring device can also be avoided.

[0029] Furthermore, after the stirring device has been running for a third preset period of time, the control switch opens the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup. Understandably, since there is no filter in the second flow channel, the control switch can open both the first and second flow channels, thereby discharging the cleaning medium and impurities together.

[0030] In another possible technical solution, the switching element can also open the second flow channel separately, so that the cleaning medium is discharged only through the second flow channel, thus achieving the effect of removing impurities.

[0031] After injecting the cleaning medium into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to stir the impurities deposited on the filter element, which can be stirred up and separated from the filter element. Then, the switch is controlled to open the first and second flow channels, so that the cleaning medium mixed with impurities can be discharged through the second flow channel without the filter element, thus achieving the function of initially cleaning the cup and the filter element.

[0032] In the above technical solution, the food processor further includes a heating element for heating the cleaning medium in the cup. The method further includes: controlling the switch to close the first and second flow channels and injecting the cleaning medium into the cup again; controlling the heating element to heat the cleaning medium in the cup to a second target temperature and controlling the stirring device to perform stirring operation; and controlling the switch to open the first and / or second flow channels to discharge the cleaning medium in the cup.

[0033] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a heating element that can heat the extraction liquid or cleaning medium inside the cup. When the heating element heats the cleaning medium, it can raise the temperature of the cleaning medium to a specified temperature. The high temperature of the cleaning medium can help remove residual impurities from the inner wall of the cup. The auxiliary stirring device stirs the high temperature cleaning medium, which can further clean the impurities inside the cup.

[0034] For ease of explanation of impurities later, impurities with a volume larger than the filter pore volume are referred to as the first impurity, and impurities with a volume smaller than the filter pore volume are referred to as the second impurity.

[0035] Furthermore, after the cleaning medium injected into the cup for the first time is discharged, a second batch of cleaning medium of the first preset capacity is injected into the cup. The control device controls the stirring device to start, stirring the second batch of cleaning medium injected into the cup. This cleans the second impurities that are easily detached from the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, which is the first cleaning of the impurities in the cup. This removes any possible residual first impurities and easily detached second impurities, preparing for the subsequent removal of impurities that are stuck to the inner wall of the cup and the filter element.

[0036] The cleaning medium of the first preset capacity can be less than or equal to half the volume of the cup.

[0037] Furthermore, a second preset volume of cleaning medium can be injected into the cup for the third time. Simultaneously, the control device activates the heating element, which heats the cleaning medium to a second target temperature. This softens impurities on the inner wall of the cup and at the filter, making them easier to remove. The stirring device agitates the cleaning medium, creating a vortex within the cup. As the impurities soften and become easier to remove under the temperature, they are washed away and incorporated into the cleaning medium, thus removing impurities from the inner wall and filter – a second cleaning of the cup. Simultaneously, the first impurities in the cup separate into second impurities under the high temperature and the impact of the cleaning medium. After continuous stirring for a period, the control device stops the stirring operation and opens the first and / or second flow channels, allowing the cleaning medium to be discharged to the outside through these channels, completing the cup cleaning process.

[0038] It's understandable that the impurities generated after cleaning the cup are generally secondary impurities, and since the volume of these secondary impurities is smaller than the volume of the filter pores, opening either the first or second flow channel can remove the residual impurities from the cup. Of course, opening both the first and second flow channels simultaneously results in better efficiency and effectiveness in removing the cleaning medium.

[0039] In the above technical solution, before controlling the heating element to heat the cleaning medium in the cup to the second target temperature, the method further includes: controlling the stirring device to perform stirring operation and continuing for a fourth preset time.

[0040] In this technical solution, after the cleaning medium is injected into the cup for the second time, the stirring device is controlled to rotate within a fourth preset time period. By reasonably setting the fourth preset time period, the stirring device can continuously stir the cleaning medium, so that the cleaning medium can continuously clean the impurities in the cup, which is conducive to ensuring the cleaning effect in the cup.

[0041] It is important to understand that after the stirring device has been stirring for the fourth preset time, the cleaning medium can be injected into the cup for the third time to ensure that there is enough cleaning medium in the cup. During the subsequent heating and stirring of the cleaning medium, the sufficient cleaning medium will flush the cup wall, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the stirring device can stir continuously or intermittently during stirring. Understandably, when the control device controls the stirring device to perform the stirring operation, the stirring device can stir continuously or intermittently. When the stirring device continuously stirs the cleaning medium inside the cup, it ensures that the cleaning medium remains in a vortex, continuously impacting impurities adhered to the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, improving the removal effect of impurities and ensuring the cleaning effect of the cup. When the stirring device intermittently stirs the cleaning medium inside the cup, it prevents the cleaning medium from overflowing into the cup, and the intermittent operation of the stirring device reduces power consumption and lowers the user's operating costs.

[0043] In the above technical solution, further, after the cleaning medium is discharged from the cup, the method further includes: performing a first cleaning procedure N times, where N is a positive integer; the first cleaning procedure includes: controlling the switch to close the first and second flow channels, and injecting the cleaning medium into the cup again; controlling the stirring device to perform stirring operation; controlling the switch to open the first and second flow channels to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup.

[0044] It should be noted that the first cleaning procedure described above can be performed after the first injection of cleaning medium into the cup, followed by stirring and then discharging the cleaning medium, or it can be performed after the second injection of cleaning medium into the cup, followed by heating and stirring and then discharging the cleaning medium. The specific execution order can be set according to user settings or actual circumstances.

[0045] In this technical solution, after the cleaning medium is discharged from the cup, the first cleaning procedure is executed again. The first cleaning procedure is executed N times, where N is a positive integer. Executing the first cleaning procedure N times ensures the removal of impurities from the cup. The number of times the first cleaning procedure is executed can be set by default according to user needs, or selected by the user based on the amount of impurities remaining in the cup. Further, the first cleaning procedure specifically includes: the food processor's control device closing the first and second flow channels to prevent the cleaning medium from flowing out; injecting the cleaning medium into the cup; and simultaneously, the food processor's control device starting the stirring device to agitate the cleaning medium, creating a vortex that removes impurities from the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, thus cleaning the cup; after the stirring device continues stirring for a period of time, the control device stops the stirring operation, and the food processor's control device opening the first and / or second flow channels to discharge the cleaning medium to the outside, completing the first cleaning procedure.

[0046] In one possible technical solution, after the cleaning medium is discharged from the cup, the first cleaning procedure is performed three times. At this point, the food processor begins the first cleaning procedure. The control device of the food processor closes the first and second flow channels and injects cleaning medium into the cup. Simultaneously, the control device operates a stirring device to agitate the cleaning medium within the cup, creating a vortex that removes impurities from the inner wall of the cup and the filter, thus cleaning the cup. After the stirring device continues stirring for a period of time, it stops, and the control device opens the first and / or second flow channels, discharging the cleaning medium mixed with impurities to the outside, completing the cleaning of the cup and finishing the first cleaning procedure. This process constitutes one execution of the first cleaning procedure. This process is repeated twice more to complete the instruction to perform three first cleaning procedures. It should be noted that the higher the value of the number of executions N for the first cleaning procedure, the better the cleaning effect on the cup. Users can adjust the value of N according to the amount of impurities in the cup and the desired level of cleanliness.

[0047] It should be noted that the impurities generated after cleaning the cup are generally secondary impurities, and since the volume of these secondary impurities is smaller than the volume of the filter pores on the filter element, opening either the first or second flow channel can remove the residual impurities from the cup. Of course, opening both the first and second flow channels simultaneously will result in better efficiency and effectiveness in removing the cleaning medium.

[0048] Understandably, after the previous washing processes, the cup mainly contains secondary impurities. Running the first cleaning cycle N times improves the cleaning effect inside the cup, significantly reducing the amount of impurities and improving the cleanliness of the cup, thus meeting the user's requirements.

[0049] A second aspect of the invention also provides a control device for a food processor. The food processor includes a cup body and an instant heating device. A stirring device is provided inside the cup body. The instant heating device can heat the liquid before it is injected into the cup body. The food processor also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body and a switch capable of opening and closing the first flow channel. A filter is provided in the flow path of the first flow channel. The control device includes: a first control unit for controlling the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time; a second control unit for controlling the instant heating device to heat the liquid to a first target temperature and then inject the liquid into the cup; a third control unit for controlling the stirring device to run at a second preset speed for a second preset time to form an extract of the ingredients; and a fourth control unit for controlling the switch to open the first flow channel to discharge the extract.

[0050] The control device for a food processor proposed in this invention is used to process ingredients through the food processor to obtain an extract of the ingredients, such as coffee beans. The control method for the food processor enables the processing of coffee beans through the food processor to obtain a coffee extract.

[0051] Specifically, the food processor used in this control device includes a cup body for holding ingredients. The cup body contains a stirring device capable of operating at various speeds. At higher speeds, the stirring device can crush the ingredients or agitate the liquid within the cup to clean it. At lower speeds, the stirring device simply agitates the liquid to prevent food residue from settling. Furthermore, the food processor also includes an instant heating device that heats the liquid before it is poured into the cup, allowing for rapid heating and eliminating the need for long waiting times.

[0052] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body. Liquid inside the cup body can be discharged from the cup body through the first flow channel. The first flow channel is equipped with a filter element that can filter the liquid inside the cup body, so that the liquid is discharged after being filtered by the filter element. Optionally, the filter element is a filter screen. The food processor also includes a switch element that can open or close the first flow channel. The first flow channel can be opened or closed by moving the switch element.

[0053] The control device for the food processing machine proposed in this invention includes a first control unit, a second control unit, a third control unit, and a fourth control unit.

[0054] The first control unit is used to control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time. Specifically, after the ingredients are placed into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to run at the first preset speed for the first preset time, so that the stirring device can run at a higher speed to break the ingredients into powder.

[0055] Furthermore, the second control unit controls the instant heating device to heat the liquid to a first target temperature before injecting the liquid into the cup. Specifically, after the stirring device breaks down the ingredients, the instant heating device is controlled to operate, heating the liquid to the first target temperature before injecting the heated liquid into the cup. This allows the high-temperature liquid to be injected into the cup, mixing with the powdered ingredients to obtain a solid-liquid mixture.

[0056] Furthermore, the third control unit is used to control the stirring device to operate at a second preset speed for a second preset duration to form an extract of the food ingredients. Specifically, after the food powder is mixed with the high-temperature liquid, in order to ensure that the food ingredients are fully mixed with the liquid to obtain an extract of the food ingredients, the stirring device is controlled to operate at a second preset speed for a second preset duration. This allows the stirring device to operate at a lower speed, ensuring that the high-temperature liquid and the food powder are fully mixed. After the stirring device has operated for the second preset duration, the liquid and the food powder are more thoroughly mixed, resulting in an extract of the food ingredients.

[0057] Furthermore, the fourth control unit is used to control the switch to open the first flow channel to discharge the extract. Specifically, after obtaining the extract from the food, the control switch opens the first flow channel, and the extract flows through the filter in the first flow channel. The filter filters the extract, removing food residue from the extract, and the filtered extract is discharged through the first flow channel.

[0058] In one possible technical solution, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the control device is specifically used for the following operations:

[0059] After placing the coffee beans into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to stir the coffee beans at a speed greater than 6000 rpm for 3 minutes or less. During the stirring process, the device can stir for 1 minute, stop for 10 seconds, and then continue stirring, or it can stir continuously to obtain coffee powder. After the coffee beans are stirred, the set amount of water is poured into the cup. Before pouring the water into the cup, the instant heating device is activated to heat the water to 90°C. Then, the heated water is poured into the cup, and the hot water mixes with the coffee powder to obtain a coffee mixture. The stirring device is then controlled to run again at a lower speed for 2 to 15 minutes to fully mix the coffee powder and hot water to obtain a coffee extract. Then, the switch is activated to open the first flow channel, and the coffee extract is discharged through the first flow channel. Since there is a filter in the first flow channel, the coffee extract is filtered through the filter during discharge, resulting in a coffee with a better taste.

[0060] In summary, the control device for the food processing machine proposed in this invention can agitate and crush solid ingredients, and perform instant heating treatment on liquids, mixing the rapidly heated liquid with powdered ingredients to obtain an extract. The extract is then filtered and discharged, thus realizing the extraction operation of ingredients and providing users with an extract with a better taste. This achieves an automatic extraction process for ingredients, and the control device can also be used for coffee extraction.

[0061] A third aspect of the invention also provides a readable storage medium storing a program or instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the control method for a food processor as described in the first aspect of the invention. Therefore, it possesses all the beneficial technical effects of the control method for a food processor in any possible design of the first aspect described above.

[0062] A fourth aspect of the invention also provides a food processor, comprising a control device for a food processor as described in the second aspect of the invention, and / or a readable storage medium as described in the third aspect of the invention.

[0063] The food processor provided in the fourth aspect of the present invention, having the control device for the food processor proposed in the second aspect of the present invention and / or the readable storage medium proposed in the third aspect of the present invention, thus possesses all the beneficial effects of the control device for the food processor and / or the readable storage medium.

[0064] A fifth aspect of the present invention also provides a food processor, comprising: a cup body having a first drain outlet; a drain pipe communicating with the first drain outlet, forming a first flow channel when the drain pipe is communicating with the first drain outlet; a filter element disposed on the flow path of the first flow channel; a liquid inlet pipe communicating with the cup body for injecting liquid into the cup body; and an instant heating device disposed on the liquid inlet pipe for heating the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet pipe.

[0065] The food processing machine proposed in this invention includes a cup body with a receiving cavity for holding food ingredients. The food ingredients can be processed in the cup body to obtain an extract. The cup body is also provided with a first drain outlet for discharging liquid from the cup body.

[0066] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a drain pipe, one end of which is connected to a first drain outlet, and the other end of which is connected to the outside. Liquid can flow into the drain pipe through the first drain outlet and then be discharged through the drain pipe. When the first drain outlet and the drain pipe are connected, a first flow channel can be formed, through which liquid in the cup can be discharged.

[0067] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a filter element located in the flow path of the first flow channel. Thus, as the liquid flows through the first flow channel, the filter element can filter the liquid, thereby reducing impurities and improving the taste of the beverage if the liquid is a beverage. Optionally, the filter element is a filter screen.

[0068] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a liquid inlet pipe. Specifically, the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the cup body, and the other end of the liquid inlet pipe can be connected to a liquid storage device or an external liquid inlet device, thus allowing liquid to be injected into the cup body through the liquid inlet pipe. Furthermore, in order to adjust the temperature of the liquid injected into the cup body, an instant heating device is also installed on the liquid inlet pipe. This instant heating device can rapidly heat the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet pipe, ensuring that the liquid injected into the cup body is a high-temperature liquid, facilitating the preparation of various beverages. Moreover, because the instant heating device heats the liquid quickly, it improves the efficiency of beverage preparation.

[0069] In one possible technical solution, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the beverage produced by the food processor is coffee. The user first places the coffee beans into the container cavity of the cup, which contains a stirring device that runs at high speed to grind the coffee beans into coffee powder. Then, a certain amount of water is injected into the cup through the inlet pipe. As the water flows through the inlet pipe, an instant heating device rapidly heats the water to a set temperature. The heated water is then poured into the cup, where it mixes with the coffee powder. The stirring device then stirs the mixture of hot water and coffee powder again at a low speed for a certain period of time to form a coffee extract. After obtaining the coffee extract, a switch opens the first flow channel, through which the coffee extract is discharged. Because the first flow channel contains a filter, the coffee extract is filtered during the discharge process, resulting in a coffee with a better taste.

[0070] By installing a filter element in the first flow path of the food processor, the food extract can be filtered to improve its taste. An instant heating device is installed in the liquid inlet pipe to heat the liquid during the pouring process, allowing the food to mix directly with the heated liquid. This avoids contact between the food and the cold liquid, improving the efficiency of extract production. Furthermore, the instant heating device quickly heats the liquid, shortening the heating time and increasing the overall efficiency of the food processor.

[0071] The food processing machine according to the present invention may also have the following distinguishing technical features:

[0072] In the above technical solution, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh, and the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 And it is less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup.

[0073] In this technical solution, the filter element is further defined. Specifically, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh. This allows the filter element to have a better filtration effect, making it suitable for filtering beverages such as coffee. Furthermore, limiting the mesh size of the filter element to this range avoids the problem of slow filtration speed caused by a higher mesh size, thus improving filtration efficiency while ensuring filtration effect.

[0074] Furthermore, the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 In the above technical solution, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh, and the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 And it is less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup.

[0075] In this technical solution, the filter element is further defined. Specifically, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh. This allows the filter element to have a better filtration effect, making it suitable for filtering beverages such as coffee. Furthermore, limiting the mesh size of the filter element to this range avoids the problem of slow filtration speed caused by a higher mesh size, thus improving filtration efficiency while ensuring filtration effect.

[0076] Furthermore, the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 The area of ​​the filter element should be less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup. This ensures that the filter element has sufficient surface area to filter the extract, improving filtration efficiency. Limiting the area of ​​the filter element to less than two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup avoids the problem of the filter element being difficult to clean due to its excessive size.

[0077] By limiting the range of filter mesh size, the filtration efficiency of the filter element can be improved while ensuring its filtration effect. By limiting the area of ​​the filter element, the problem of difficult cleaning caused by an excessively large filter element can be avoided while ensuring the filtration effect.

[0078] In the above technical solution, the cup body is further provided with a second drain port, which forms a second flow channel when the drain pipe is connected to the second drain port; the food processor also includes a switch that can open or close the first drain port and / or the second drain port.

[0079] In this technical solution, the cup body is also provided with a second drain outlet, which can be connected to a drain pipe. When the second drain outlet is connected to the drain pipe, a second flow channel can be formed. No filter element is installed in the second flow channel, therefore, the second flow channel does not have a filtration function. Furthermore, in order to control the discharge channel of the liquid in the cup body, a switch element is also provided in the food processor. The switch element can move relative to the cup body. As the switch element moves to different positions, it can open the first drain outlet and / or the second drain outlet, thereby controlling the liquid to be discharged through the first flow channel, the second flow channel, or both the first flow channel and the second flow channel.

[0080] Furthermore, a stirring device is installed inside the cup, and the food processor also has a drive unit connected to the stirring device, which can drive the stirring device to run at different speeds. The stirring device can stir the ingredients or liquids inside the cup.

[0081] In one possible technical solution, a food processor is used to make coffee. The cup contains coffee beans, and a stirring device operates at a high speed to grind the beans into coffee powder. Then, a heated liquid is injected into the cup through an inlet pipe. The liquid mixes with the coffee powder, and the stirring device again operates at a low speed to accelerate the mixing speed, resulting in coffee extract. The coffee extract is then discharged through a first flow channel, where a filter removes impurities, improving the coffee's flavor. After the coffee extraction is complete, the cup is cleaned. A certain amount of cleaning medium is injected into the cup, and the stirring device agitates impurities deposited on the filter, separating them and allowing them to float in the cleaning medium. A switch then opens a second drainage channel, or both the first and second drainage channels are opened simultaneously. The cleaning medium, now containing impurities, is discharged through the second channel (which does not have a filter), thus cleaning the cup. The food processor can also repeat the liquid feeding, stirring, and draining operations multiple times to improve the cleaning effect on the cup.

[0082] By setting a second drain port on the cup body and setting a switch that can open or close the first drain port and / or the second drain port, the liquid discharge channel inside the cup body can be controlled. When the liquid needs to be filtered, the switch only opens the first drain port to discharge the liquid through the first flow channel. When the impurities inside the cup body need to be discharged, the switch opens the second drain port to discharge the liquid through the second flow channel, thus realizing the functions of the food processor in removing beverages and cleaning the cup body.

[0083] In the above technical solution, the switch can move relative to the cup body. When the switch moves to the first position, it opens the first drain port and closes the second drain port, and the first flow channel is connected to the outside. When the switch moves to the second position, it opens the first drain port and the second drain port, and both the first flow channel and the second flow channel are connected to the outside. When the switch moves to the third position, it closes the first drain port and the second drain port, and the first flow channel and the second flow channel are blocked from connecting to the outside.

[0084] In this technical solution, the switch component is movable relative to the cup body. As the switch component moves to different positions, it can open or close the first drain outlet and / or the second drain outlet. Specifically, when the first switch component moves to the first position, it opens the first drain outlet and closes the second drain outlet, connecting the first flow channel to the outside. At this time, the liquid inside the cup can be discharged through the first flow channel. Since a filter component is installed inside the first flow channel, it can filter the liquid to remove impurities. When the liquid inside the cup is a beverage such as an extract, the switch component can be moved to the first position to discharge the beverage through the first drain outlet, filtering the beverage before discharge and improving its taste. Users can adjust the position of the switch component according to their different needs.

[0085] Furthermore, when the switch is moved to the second position, it opens both the first and second drain ports, connecting both the first and second flow channels to the outside. At this time, the liquid inside the cup can be discharged simultaneously through both the first and second flow channels. Since there is no filter in the second flow channel, when it is necessary to remove impurities from the cup, the switch can be moved to the second position, allowing the liquid mixed with impurities to be discharged through the second flow channel, thus achieving the effect of removing impurities. For example, when cleaning the cup, the switch can be moved to the second position, thereby discharging the cleaning medium mixed with impurities from the cup through the first and second flow channels.

[0086] Furthermore, when the switch is moved to the third position, it closes the first and second drain ports, thereby blocking the connection between the first and second flow channels and the outside world, preventing the liquid in the cup from being discharged through the first and second flow channels. During the beverage preparation process and the cleaning of the cup, the switch can be moved to the third position to ensure that the liquid in the cup cannot flow out, thus ensuring the normal operation of the food processor.

[0087] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a switch driver connected to the switch to drive the switch to move relative to the cup body.

[0088] By enabling the switch to move between the first, second, and third positions, the opening and closing of the first and second drain ports can be controlled by the movement of the switch. The position of the switch can be adjusted as needed to realize the process of making beverages, discharging beverages, and cleaning the cup of the food processor.

[0089] In the above technical solution, the food processor further includes: a liquid storage tank for storing liquid, the liquid storage tank being connected to the cup body via a liquid inlet pipe; and a pump assembly for pumping the liquid in the liquid storage tank into the cup body via the liquid inlet pipe.

[0090] In this technical solution, the food processor also includes a liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is used to store liquid and is connected to the cup body via an inlet pipe, allowing the liquid in the tank to be injected into the cup body through the inlet pipe.

[0091] In one possible technical solution, there can be multiple liquid storage tanks, wherein at least one liquid storage tank is used to store cleaning media, and at least one liquid storage tank is used to store water. When the food processor makes a beverage, the water in the liquid storage tank is injected into the cup through the inlet pipe. When the food processor cleans the cup, the cleaning media in the liquid storage tank is injected into the cup.

[0092] In another possible technical solution, there is one liquid storage tank, which stores water for the user. The water from the tank is then injected into the cup during the food processor's beverage preparation and cup cleaning processes.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to allow the liquid in the storage tank to be injected into the cup, a pump assembly is also installed in the food processor. The pump assembly can pump the liquid in the storage tank into the cup through the liquid pipeline.

[0094] By incorporating a liquid storage tank and pump assembly into the food processor, the entire beverage preparation and cup cleaning process can be automated, thus increasing the level of automation in the food processor.

[0095] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a heating device for heating the liquid inside the cup. During the cup cleaning process, the pump assembly injects unheated liquid from the storage tank into the cup, and then the heating device heats the low-temperature liquid inside the cup. This high-temperature immersion in the liquid makes it easier for impurities to separate from the cup wall and filter, improving the cleaning effect. Both the instant heating device and the heating device in the food processor can heat the liquid. The difference is that the instant heating device heats the liquid flowing through the inlet pipe, allowing the food in the cup to mix directly with the high-temperature liquid, while the heating device heats the liquid inside the cup after the low-temperature liquid is injected. Thus, users can select different heating methods to heat the liquid according to their actual needs, enabling the food processor to perform various functions.

[0096] This food processor can perform various functions, such as making drinking water, extracting juice, making soy milk, and making rice paste.

Detailed Implementation

[0115] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0116] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0117] The following reference Figures 1 to 14 The present invention describes a control method, control device, readable storage medium, and food processor for a food processor according to some embodiments thereof.

[0118] Example 1:

[0119] The first aspect of the present invention provides a control method for a food processor, the food processor including a cup body and an instant heating device, the cup body being used to hold food ingredients, a stirring device being provided inside the cup body, the instant heating device being able to heat the liquid before it is injected into the cup body, the food processor also including a first flow channel communicating with the cup body and a switch capable of opening and closing the first flow channel, a filter being provided in the flow path of the first flow channel.

[0120] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, one of the flowcharts illustrates a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control method includes the following steps S102 to S108:

[0121] Step S102: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0122] Step S104: Control the instant heating device to heat the liquid to the first target temperature and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0123] Step S106: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract;

[0124] Step S108: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract.

[0125] The present invention proposes a control method for a food processor, which is used to process ingredients through the food processor to obtain an extract of the ingredients. The ingredients may be coffee beans. The control method for the food processor can process coffee beans through the food processor to obtain a coffee extract.

[0126] Specifically, the food processor to which this control method is applied includes a cup body for holding food ingredients. The cup body contains a stirring device capable of operating at various speeds. At higher speeds, the stirring device can crush the food ingredients or agitate the liquid within the cup to clean it. At lower speeds, the stirring device merely agitates the liquid to prevent food residue from settling. Furthermore, the food processor also includes an instant heating device that heats the liquid before it is poured into the cup, allowing the liquid to be heated before being poured in. The instant heating device provides rapid heating, eliminating the need for long waiting times.

[0127] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body. Liquid inside the cup body can be discharged from the cup body through the first flow channel. The first flow channel is equipped with a filter element that can filter the liquid inside the cup body, so that the liquid is discharged after being filtered by the filter element. Optionally, the filter element is a filter screen. The food processor also includes a switch element that can open or close the first flow channel. The first flow channel can be opened or closed by moving the switch element.

[0128] The control method of the food processor proposed in this invention is as follows: After the ingredients are placed into the cup, the stirring device is first controlled to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time. This allows the stirring device to run at a high speed to break the ingredients into powder. After the stirring device breaks down the ingredients, the instant heating device is activated. The instant heating device heats the liquid to a first target temperature and then injects the heated liquid into the cup. In this way, the high-temperature liquid is injected into the cup, and the high-temperature liquid mixes with the powdered ingredients to obtain a solid-liquid mixture of the ingredients.

[0129] Furthermore, after the food powder is mixed with the high-temperature liquid, in order to ensure that the food is fully mixed with the liquid to obtain an extract, the stirring device is controlled to run at a second preset speed for a second preset time. This allows the stirring device to operate at a lower speed, ensuring thorough mixing of the high-temperature liquid and the food powder. After the stirring device has run for the second preset time, the liquid and food powder are sufficiently mixed, resulting in an extract.

[0130] Furthermore, after obtaining the extract from the ingredients, the control switch opens the first flow channel. The extract flows through the filter element in the first flow channel, where it filters the extract, removing any food residue. The filtered extract is then discharged through the first flow channel. Specifically, the mesh size of the filter element ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh. This ensures good filtration performance, making the filter suitable for filtering beverages such as coffee. Limiting the mesh size within this range avoids the problem of slow filtration speed caused by a higher mesh size, thus improving filtration efficiency while maintaining filtration effectiveness. Furthermore, the area of ​​the filter element is greater than 100 mm². 2 The area of ​​the filter element should be less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup. This ensures that the filter element has sufficient surface area to filter the extract, improving filtration efficiency. Limiting the area of ​​the filter element to less than two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup avoids the problem of the filter element being difficult to clean due to its excessive size.

[0131] In one possible embodiment, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the control method of the food processor is as follows:

[0132] After placing the coffee beans into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to stir the coffee beans at a speed greater than 6000 rpm for 3 minutes or less. During the stirring process, the device can stir for 1 minute, stop for 10 seconds, and then continue stirring, or it can stir continuously to obtain coffee powder. After the coffee beans are stirred, the set amount of water is poured into the cup. Before pouring the water into the cup, the instant heating device is activated to heat the water to 90°C. Then, the heated water is poured into the cup, and the hot water mixes with the coffee powder to obtain a coffee mixture. The stirring device is then controlled to run again at a lower speed for 2 to 15 minutes to fully mix the coffee powder and hot water to obtain a coffee extract. Then, the switch is activated to open the first flow channel, and the coffee extract is discharged through the first flow channel. Since there is a filter in the first flow channel, the coffee extract is filtered through the filter during discharge, resulting in a coffee with a better taste.

[0133] In summary, the food processing machine control method proposed in this invention can agitate and crush solid ingredients, and can also perform instant heating treatment on liquids, mixing the rapidly heated liquid with powdered ingredients to obtain an extract. The extract is then filtered and discharged, thus realizing the extraction operation of ingredients and providing users with an extract with better taste. This achieves an automatic extraction process for ingredients, and the control method can also be used for coffee extraction.

[0134] Example 2:

[0135] In a specific embodiment based on Embodiment 1, the second preset rotational speed is less than the first preset rotational speed.

[0136] In this embodiment, the relationship between the second preset rotational speed and the first preset rotational speed is defined; specifically, the second preset rotational speed is less than the first preset rotational speed. The first preset rotational speed is greater than 6000 r / min. This allows the stirring device to operate at a higher first preset rotational speed, thereby breaking down the ingredients, while when stirring the mixture of ingredients and liquid, the stirring device operates at a lower speed to avoid liquid splashing.

[0137] Example 3:

[0138] Figure 2 A second schematic flowchart of a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes the following steps S202 to S210:

[0139] Step S202: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0140] Step S204: Control the instant heating device to heat the liquid to the first target temperature and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0141] Step S206: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract;

[0142] Step S208: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract;

[0143] Step S210: Control the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged.

[0144] In this embodiment, after the control switch opens the first flow channel, to prevent a large amount of impurities from depositing on the filter element, the stirring device needs to be operated until all the extract is discharged. Understandably, if the stirring device does not operate, and the extract is allowed to pass through the filter element normally, a large amount of impurities in the extract will directly settle on the filter element. This would significantly reduce the liquid flow path on the filter element, making it difficult for the extract to flow out. To avoid this problem, after the switch opens the first flow channel, the stirring device also needs to be operated. This stirs up the impurities in the extract, making it difficult for them to deposit on the filter element, thus allowing the extract to flow smoothly through the filter element and improving the filtration efficiency.

[0145] By opening the first flow channel with the switch and simultaneously controlling the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged, the impurities in the extract are stirred up by the stirring device, making it difficult for them to settle on the filter element. This allows the extract to flow smoothly through the filter element, improving the filtration efficiency of the filter element.

[0146] Example 4:

[0147] Figure 3 A third schematic flowchart of a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes the following steps S302 to S316:

[0148] Step S302: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0149] Step S304: Control the instant heating device to operate, heat the liquid to the first target temperature, and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0150] Step S306: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract;

[0151] Step S308: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract;

[0152] Step S310: Control the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged;

[0153] Step S312: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels and inject cleaning medium into the cup;

[0154] Step S314: Control the stirring device to run for the third preset time;

[0155] Step S316: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium inside the cup.

[0156] In this embodiment, the food processor further includes a second flow channel communicating with the cup body. After the extraction liquid drainage process is completed, the food processor is controlled to perform a cup body cleaning process. The food processor to which the control method proposed in this invention is applicable further includes a second flow channel communicating with the cup body. No filter element is installed in the second flow channel; therefore, the liquid can be directly discharged through the second flow channel.

[0157] Specifically, after the extract has been completely drained, the control switch closes the first and second flow channels. At this point, the liquid in the cup cannot be drained, and then cleaning medium is injected into the cup. The cleaning medium can be manually poured into the cup by the operator, or it can be pumped into the cup from the storage tank by the pump assembly of the food processor. The cleaning medium cleans the cup. Then, the stirring device is controlled to stir for a third preset time. During this time, the stirring device can operate at a high speed to stir up impurities deposited on the filter element and float them in the cleaning medium.

[0158] Optionally, the speed range of the stirring device can be from 500 r / min to 15000 r / min. In order for the stirring device to better separate impurities from the filter element, the speed of the stirring device can be limited to the range of 7000 r / min to 10000 r / min. In this way, the stirring device can operate at a higher speed to separate impurities from the filter element, while avoiding energy waste caused by excessive speed of the stirring device.

[0159] Furthermore, after the stirring device has been running for a third preset period of time, the control switch opens the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup. Understandably, since there is no filter in the second flow channel, the control switch can open both the first and second flow channels, thereby discharging the cleaning medium and impurities together.

[0160] In another possible embodiment, the switch can also open the second flow channel separately, so that the cleaning medium is discharged only through the second flow channel, thus achieving the effect of removing impurities.

[0161] After injecting the cleaning medium into the cup, the stirring device is controlled to stir the impurities deposited on the filter element, which can be stirred up and separated from the filter element. Then, the switch is controlled to open the first and second flow channels, so that the cleaning medium mixed with impurities can be discharged through the second flow channel without the filter element, thus achieving the function of initially cleaning the cup and the filter element.

[0162] Example 5:

[0163] Figure 4 A fourth schematic flowchart of a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes the following steps S402 to S422:

[0164] Step S402: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0165] Step S404: Control the instant heating device to operate, heat the liquid to the first target temperature, and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0166] Step S406: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for the second preset time to generate an extract;

[0167] Step S408: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract;

[0168] Step S410: Control the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged;

[0169] Step S412: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels and inject cleaning medium into the cup;

[0170] Step S414: Control the stirring device to run for the third preset time;

[0171] Step S416: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup body;

[0172] Step S418: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels, and inject cleaning medium into the cup again;

[0173] Step S420: Control the operation of the heating element to bring the cleaning medium in the cup to the second target temperature, and control the operation of the stirring device;

[0174] Step S422: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup.

[0175] In this embodiment, the food processor also includes a heating element capable of heating the extract or cleaning medium within the container. When the heating element heats the cleaning medium, it raises the temperature of the medium to a specified temperature. The high temperature of the cleaning medium helps to remove residual impurities from the inner wall of the container. An auxiliary stirring device further stirs the high-temperature cleaning medium, further cleaning the impurities within the container.

[0176] For ease of explanation of impurities later, impurities with a volume larger than the filter pore volume are referred to as the first impurity, and impurities with a volume smaller than the filter pore volume are referred to as the second impurity.

[0177] Furthermore, after the cleaning medium injected into the cup for the first time is discharged, a second batch of cleaning medium of the first preset capacity is injected into the cup. The control device controls the stirring device to start, stirring the second batch of cleaning medium injected into the cup. This cleans the second impurities that are easily detached from the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, which is the first cleaning of the impurities in the cup. This removes any possible residual first impurities and easily detached second impurities, preparing for the subsequent removal of impurities that are stuck to the inner wall of the cup and the filter element.

[0178] The cleaning medium of the first preset capacity can be less than or equal to half the volume of the cup.

[0179] Furthermore, a second preset volume of cleaning medium can be injected into the cup for the third time. Simultaneously, the control device activates the heating element, which heats the cleaning medium to a second target temperature. This softens impurities on the inner wall of the cup and at the filter, making them easier to remove. The stirring device agitates the cleaning medium, creating a vortex within the cup. As the impurities soften and become easier to remove under the temperature, they are washed away and incorporated into the cleaning medium, thus removing impurities from the inner wall and filter – a second cleaning of the cup. Simultaneously, the first impurities in the cup separate into second impurities under the high temperature and the impact of the cleaning medium. After continuous stirring for a period, the control device stops the stirring operation and opens the first and / or second flow channels, allowing the cleaning medium to be discharged to the outside through these channels, completing the cup cleaning process.

[0180] It's understandable that the impurities generated after cleaning the cup are generally secondary impurities, and since the volume of these secondary impurities is smaller than the volume of the filter pores, opening either the first or second flow channel can remove the residual impurities from the cup. Of course, opening both the first and second flow channels simultaneously results in better efficiency and effectiveness in removing the cleaning medium.

[0181] Example 6:

[0182] Figure 5 Fifthly, a schematic flowchart of a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes the following steps S502 to S524:

[0183] Step S502: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0184] Step S504: Control the instant heating device to operate, heat the liquid to the first target temperature, and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0185] Step S506: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract;

[0186] Step S508: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract;

[0187] Step S510: Control the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged;

[0188] Step S512: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels and inject cleaning medium into the cup;

[0189] Step S514: Control the stirring device to run for the third preset time;

[0190] Step S516: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium inside the cup;

[0191] Step S518: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels, and inject cleaning medium into the cup again;

[0192] Step S520: Control the stirring device to perform stirring operation and continue for a fourth preset time;

[0193] Step S522: Control the operation of the heating element to bring the cleaning medium in the cup to the second target temperature, and control the operation of the stirring device;

[0194] Step S524: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium in the cup.

[0195] In this embodiment, after the cleaning medium is injected into the cup for the second time, the stirring device is controlled to rotate within a fourth preset time period. By reasonably setting the fourth preset time period, the stirring device can continuously stir the cleaning medium, so that the cleaning medium can continuously clean the impurities in the cup, which is beneficial to ensuring the cleaning effect in the cup.

[0196] It is important to understand that after the stirring device has been stirring for the fourth preset time, the cleaning medium can be injected into the cup for the third time to ensure that there is enough cleaning medium in the cup. During the subsequent heating and stirring of the cleaning medium, the sufficient cleaning medium will flush the cup wall, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0197] Furthermore, the stirring device can stir continuously or intermittently during stirring. Understandably, when the control device controls the stirring device to perform the stirring operation, the stirring device can stir continuously or intermittently. When the stirring device continuously stirs the cleaning medium inside the cup, it ensures that the cleaning medium remains in a vortex, continuously impacting impurities adhered to the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, improving the removal effect of impurities and ensuring the cleaning effect of the cup. When the stirring device intermittently stirs the cleaning medium inside the cup, it prevents the cleaning medium from overflowing into the cup, and the intermittent operation of the stirring device reduces power consumption and lowers the user's operating costs.

[0198] Example 7:

[0199] Figure 6 A sixth schematic flowchart of a control method for a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes the following steps S602 to S626b:

[0200] Step S602: Control the stirring device to run at a first preset speed for a first preset duration;

[0201] Step S604: Control the instant heating device to operate, heat the liquid to the first target temperature, and inject the liquid into the cup;

[0202] Step S606: Control the stirring device to run at the second preset speed for a second preset time to generate an extract;

[0203] Step S608: Move the switch to open the first flow channel and discharge the extract;

[0204] Step S610: Control the stirring device to operate until all the extract is discharged;

[0205] Step S612: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels and inject cleaning medium into the cup;

[0206] Step S614: Control the stirring device to run for the third preset time;

[0207] Step S616: Control the switch to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel to discharge the cleaning medium from the cup body;

[0208] Step S618: Control the switch to close the first and second flow channels, and inject the cleaning medium into the cup again;

[0209] Step S620: Control the stirring device to perform stirring operation and continue for a fourth preset time;

[0210] Step S622: Control the operation of the heating element to bring the cleaning medium in the cup to the second target temperature, and control the operation of the stirring device;

[0211] Step S624: Control the switch to move to open the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel, so that the cleaning medium can be discharged from the cup;

[0212] Step S626a: Control the switch to move to close the first and second flow channels, and inject the cleaning medium into the cup again;

[0213] Step S626b: Control the switch to move to open the first and second flow channels and discharge the cleaning medium from the cup.

[0214] Steps S626a and S626b together constitute the first cleaning procedure, and the control method can execute the first cleaning procedure N times, where N is a positive integer.

[0215] It should be noted that the first cleaning procedure described above can be performed after the first injection of cleaning medium into the cup, followed by stirring and then discharging the cleaning medium, or it can be performed after the second injection of cleaning medium into the cup, followed by heating and stirring and then discharging the cleaning medium. The specific execution order can be set according to user settings or actual circumstances.

[0216] In this embodiment, after the cleaning medium is discharged from the cup, the first cleaning procedure is executed again. The first cleaning procedure is executed N times, where N is a positive integer. Executing the first cleaning procedure N times ensures the removal of impurities from the cup. The number of times the first cleaning procedure is executed can be set by default according to user needs, or selected by the user based on the amount of impurities remaining in the cup. Further, the first cleaning procedure specifically includes: the food processor's control device controlling the switch to close the first and second flow channels to prevent the cleaning medium from flowing out. Cleaning medium is injected into the cup, and simultaneously, the food processor's control device controls the stirring device to start, stirring the cleaning medium to form a vortex and remove impurities from the inner wall of the cup and the filter element, thereby cleaning the cup. After the stirring device continues stirring for a period of time, the control device stops the stirring operation, and the food processor's control device controls the switch to open the first and / or second flow channels, discharging the cleaning medium to the outside, thus completing the execution of the first cleaning procedure.

[0217] In one possible embodiment, after the cleaning medium is discharged from the cup, the first cleaning procedure is performed three times. At this time, the food processor begins the first cleaning procedure. The control device of the food processor closes the first and second flow channels and injects cleaning medium into the cup. Simultaneously, the control device operates a stirring device to agitate the cleaning medium in the cup, creating a vortex that removes impurities from the inner wall of the cup and the filter, thus cleaning the cup. After the stirring device continues to agitate for a period of time, it stops. The control device then opens the first and / or second flow channels, discharging the cleaning medium mixed with impurities to the outside, completing the cleaning of the cup and finishing the first cleaning procedure. This process constitutes one execution of the first cleaning procedure. This process is repeated twice more to complete the instruction to perform three first cleaning procedures. It should be noted that the higher the value of the number of executions N for the first cleaning procedure, the better the cleaning effect on the cup. Users can adjust the value of N according to the amount of impurities in the cup and the desired level of cleanliness.

[0218] It should be noted that the impurities generated after cleaning the cup are generally secondary impurities, and since the volume of these secondary impurities is smaller than the volume of the filter pores on the filter element, opening either the first or second flow channel can remove the residual impurities from the cup. Of course, opening both the first and second flow channels simultaneously will result in better efficiency and effectiveness in removing the cleaning medium.

[0219] Understandably, after the previous washing processes, the cup mainly contains secondary impurities. Running the first cleaning cycle N times improves the cleaning effect inside the cup, significantly reducing the amount of impurities and improving the cleanliness of the cup, thus meeting the user's requirements.

[0220] Example 8:

[0221] like Figure 14As shown, a second aspect of the present invention also provides a control device 200 for a food processor 100. The food processor 100 includes a cup body 110 and an instant heating device 150. A stirring device 113 is provided inside the cup body 110. The instant heating device 150 can heat the liquid before it is injected into the cup body 110. The food processor 100 also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body 110 and a switch 160 capable of opening and closing the first flow channel. A filter 130 is provided on the flow path of the first flow channel. The control device includes: a first control unit 210 for controlling the stirring device 113 to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time; a second control unit 220 for controlling the instant heating device 150 to heat the liquid to a first target temperature and then inject the liquid into the cup; a third control unit 230 for controlling the stirring device 113 to run at a second preset speed for a second preset time to form an extract of the ingredients; and a fourth control unit 240 for controlling the switch 160 to open the first flow channel to discharge the extract.

[0222] The control device for the food processor 100 proposed in this invention is used to process ingredients through the food processor 100 to obtain an extract of the ingredients. The ingredients can be coffee beans. The control method of the food processor 100 can process coffee beans through the food processor 100 to obtain coffee extract.

[0223] Specifically, the food processor 100 used in this control device includes a cup body 110 for holding food ingredients. A stirring device 113 is installed inside the cup body 110. The stirring device 113 can operate at various speeds. When operating at a high speed, the stirring device 113 can crush the food ingredients or agitate the liquid in the cup body 110 at high speed to clean the cup body 110. When operating at a low speed, the stirring device 113 can agitate the liquid in the cup body 110 to prevent food residue from settling. Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes an instant heating device 150, which heats the liquid before it is poured into the cup body 110, allowing the liquid to be heated before being poured into the cup body 110. The instant heating device 150 heats the liquid quickly, eliminating the need for a long waiting time.

[0224] Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes a first flow channel communicating with the cup body 110. Liquid in the cup body 110 can be discharged from the cup body 110 through the first flow channel. A filter element 130 is provided on the first flow channel, which can filter the liquid in the cup body 110, so that the liquid is discharged after being filtered by the filter element 130. Optionally, the filter element 130 is a filter screen. The food processor 100 also includes a switch element 160 that can open or close the first flow channel. The first flow channel can be opened or closed by moving the switch element 160.

[0225] The control device 200 of the food processing machine proposed in this invention includes a first control unit 210, a second control unit 220, a third control unit 230 and a fourth control unit 240.

[0226] The first control unit 210 is used to control the stirring device 113 to run at a first preset speed for a first preset time. Specifically, after the ingredients are put into the cup 110, the stirring device 113 is controlled to run at the first preset speed for a first preset time, so that the stirring device 113 can run at a higher speed to crush the ingredients into powder.

[0227] Furthermore, the second control unit 220 controls the instant heating device 150 to heat the liquid to a first target temperature before injecting the liquid into the cup body 110. Specifically, after the stirring device 113 breaks down the ingredients, the instant heating device 150 is controlled to operate. After the instant heating device 150 heats the liquid to the first target temperature, the heated liquid is injected into the cup body 110. In this way, the high-temperature liquid is injected into the cup body 110, and the high-temperature liquid mixes with the powdered ingredients to obtain a solid-liquid mixture of the ingredients.

[0228] Furthermore, the third control unit 230 is used to control the stirring device 113 to operate at a second preset speed for a second preset duration to form an extract of the food ingredients. Specifically, after the food powder is mixed with the high-temperature liquid, in order to ensure that the food ingredients are fully mixed with the liquid to obtain an extract of the food ingredients, the stirring device 113 is controlled to operate at a second preset speed for a second preset duration. This allows the stirring device 113 to operate at a lower speed, ensuring that the high-temperature liquid and the food powder are fully mixed. After the stirring device 113 has operated for the second preset duration, the liquid and the food powder are more fully mixed, resulting in an extract of the food ingredients.

[0229] Furthermore, the fourth control unit 240 is used to control the switch 160 to open the first flow channel to discharge the extract. Specifically, after obtaining the extract from the food, the control switch 160 opens the first flow channel, and the extract flows through the filter 130 in the first flow channel. The filter 130 filters the extract, so that the food residue in the extract is removed, and the filtered extract is discharged through the first flow channel.

[0230] In one possible embodiment, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the control device is specifically used for the following operations:

[0231] After coffee beans are placed into the cup body 110, the stirring device 113 is controlled to stir the coffee beans at a speed greater than 6000 rpm for a stirring time of less than or equal to 3 minutes. During the stirring process, the stirring device 113 can stir for 1 minute, stop for 10 seconds, and then continue stirring, or it can stir continuously to obtain coffee powder. After the coffee bean stirring process is completed, a set amount of water is poured into the cup body 110. Before pouring the water into the cup body 110, the instant heating device 150 is activated to heat the water to 90°C. Then, the heated water is poured into the cup body 110, and the hot water mixes with the coffee powder to obtain a coffee mixture. Then, the stirring device 113 is controlled to run again at a lower speed for a running time ranging from 2 to 15 minutes to fully mix the coffee powder and hot water to obtain a coffee extract. Then, the control switch 160 opens the first flow channel, and the coffee extract is discharged through the first flow channel. Since the first flow channel is equipped with a filter 130, the coffee extract is filtered through the filter 130 during the discharge process, thus obtaining coffee with a better taste.

[0232] In summary, the control device 200 for the food processing machine proposed in this invention can agitate and crush solid ingredients, and perform instant heating treatment on liquids, mixing the rapidly heated liquid with powdered ingredients to obtain an extract. The extract is then filtered and discharged, thus realizing the extraction operation of ingredients and providing users with an extract with better taste. This achieves an automatic extraction process for ingredients, and the control device can also be used for coffee extraction.

[0233] Example 9:

[0234] A third aspect of the invention also provides a readable storage medium storing a program or instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the control method for a food processor as described in the first aspect of the invention. Therefore, it possesses all the beneficial technical effects of the control method for a food processor in any possible design of the first aspect described above.

[0235] Example 10:

[0236] A fourth aspect of the invention also provides a food processor 100, including a control device 200 for a food processor as provided in the second aspect of the invention, and / or a readable storage medium as provided in the third aspect of the invention.

[0237] The food processor 100 provided in the fourth aspect of the present invention, having all the beneficial effects of the food processor control device 200 and / or the readable storage medium, is included in the second aspect of the present invention and / or the third aspect of the present invention.

[0238] Example 11:

[0239] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, a fifth aspect of the present invention also provides a food processor 100, comprising: a cup body 110 having a first drain port 111; a drain pipe 120 communicating with the first drain port 111, forming a first flow channel when the drain pipe 120 is communicating with the first drain port 111; a filter element 130 disposed on the flow path of the first flow channel; a liquid inlet pipe 140 communicating with the cup body 110 for injecting liquid into the cup body 110; and an instant heating device 150 disposed on the liquid inlet pipe 140 for heating the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet pipe 140.

[0240] The food processor 100 proposed in this invention includes a cup body 110, which includes a receiving cavity for containing food ingredients. The food ingredients can be processed within the cup body 110 to obtain an extract. The cup body 110 is also provided with a first drain outlet 111 for draining liquid from the cup body 110.

[0241] Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes a drain pipe 120, one end of which is connected to a first drain port 111, and the other end of which is connected to the outside. Liquid can flow into the drain pipe 120 through the first drain port 111 and then be discharged through the drain pipe 120. When the first drain port 111 is connected to the drain pipe 120, a first flow channel can be formed, through which liquid in the cup body 110 can be discharged.

[0242] Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes a filter element 130, which is disposed in the flow path of the first flow channel. Thus, as the liquid flows through the first flow channel, the filter element 130 can filter the liquid, thereby reducing impurities in the liquid and improving the taste of the beverage if the liquid is a beverage. Optionally, the filter element 130 is a filter screen.

[0243] Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes a liquid inlet pipe 140. Specifically, the liquid inlet pipe 140 is connected to the cup body 110, and the other end of the liquid inlet pipe 140 can be connected to a liquid storage device or an external liquid inlet device, so that liquid can be injected into the cup body 110 through the liquid inlet pipe 140. Furthermore, in order to adjust the temperature of the liquid injected into the cup body 110, an instant heating device 150 is also provided on the liquid inlet pipe 140. The instant heating device 150 can quickly heat the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet pipe 140, so that the liquid injected into the cup body 110 is a high-temperature liquid, which is convenient for making various beverages. Moreover, because the instant heating device 150 heats the liquid quickly, the beverage preparation efficiency is improved.

[0244] In one possible embodiment, the ingredient is coffee beans, and the beverage prepared by the food processor 100 is coffee. The user first places the coffee beans into the receiving cavity of the cup body 110, which contains a stirring device 113. The stirring device 113 operates at high speed to grind the coffee beans into coffee powder. Then, a certain amount of water is injected into the cup body 110 through the liquid inlet pipe 140. As the water flows through the liquid inlet pipe 140, the instant heating device 150 rapidly heats the water to a set temperature. The heated hot water is then injected into the cup body 110, where it mixes with the coffee powder. The stirring device 113 then stirs the mixture of hot water and coffee powder again at a low speed. After continuous stirring for a certain period, a coffee extract is formed. After obtaining the coffee extract, the switch 160 opens the first flow channel, and the coffee extract is discharged through the first flow channel. Since a filter 130 is provided in the first flow channel, the coffee extract is filtered through the filter 130 during the discharge process, resulting in a coffee with a better taste.

[0245] By installing a filter element 130 in the flow path of the first flow channel of the food processor 100, the food extract can be filtered through the filter element 130 to improve the taste of the extract. By installing an instant heating device 150 on the liquid inlet pipe 140, the liquid can be heated during the process of injecting liquid into the cup 110, so that the food can be directly mixed with the heated liquid, avoiding contact between the food and the low-temperature liquid, improving the efficiency of extract production, and the instant heating device 150 can quickly heat the liquid, shortening the heating time and improving the working efficiency of the food processor 100.

[0246] Example 12:

[0247] like Figure 13 As shown, in a specific embodiment based on Example 11, the mesh size of the filter element 130 ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh, and the area of ​​the filter element 130 is greater than 100 mm². 2 And it is less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup body 110.

[0248] In this embodiment, the filter element 130 is further defined. Specifically, the mesh size of the filter element 130 ranges from 200 to 2000 mesh. This allows the filter element 130 to have a better filtration effect, making it suitable for filtering beverages such as coffee. Furthermore, limiting the mesh size of the filter element 130 to this range avoids the problem of slow filtration speed caused by a higher mesh size, thus improving filtration efficiency while ensuring filtration effect.

[0249] Furthermore, the area of ​​filter element 130 is greater than 100 mm². 2 In the above embodiments, the filter element 130 further has a mesh size ranging from 200 to 2000 mesh, and the area of ​​the filter element 130 is greater than 100 mm². 2 And it is less than or equal to two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the cup body 110.

[0250] By limiting the range of the mesh size of the filter element 130, the filtration effect of the filter element 130 can be guaranteed while improving its filtration efficiency. By limiting the area of ​​the filter element 130, the filtration effect of the filter element 130 can be guaranteed while avoiding the problem of the filter element 130 being difficult to clean due to its excessively large area.

[0251] Example 13:

[0252] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one specific embodiment based on any of the above embodiments, the cup body 110 is further provided with a second drain port 112, forming a second flow channel when the drain pipe 120 is connected to the second drain port 112; the food processor 100 also includes a switch 160, which can open or close the first drain port 111 and / or the second drain port 112.

[0253] In this embodiment, the cup body 110 is also provided with a second drain port 112, which can communicate with the drain pipe 120. When the second drain port 112 is connected to the drain pipe 120, a second flow channel can be formed. No filter element 130 is provided in the second flow channel, therefore, the second flow channel does not have a filtering function. Furthermore, in order to control the discharge channel of liquid in the cup body 110, a switch element 160 is also provided in the food processor 100. The switch element 160 can move relative to the cup body 110. As the switch element 160 moves to different positions, the switch element 160 can open the first drain port 111 and / or the second drain port 112, thereby controlling the liquid to be discharged through the first flow channel or the second flow channel or the first flow channel and the second flow channel.

[0254] Furthermore, a stirring device 113 is provided inside the cup body 110, and the food processor 100 is also provided with a drive device 114 connected to the stirring device 113. The drive device 114 can drive the stirring device 113 to run at different speeds. The stirring device 113 can stir the food or liquid inside the cup body 110.

[0255] In one possible embodiment, the food processor 100 is used to make coffee. Coffee beans are contained in a cup 110, and a stirring device 113 operates at a high speed to crush the coffee beans into coffee powder. Then, a heated liquid is injected into the cup 110 through a liquid inlet line 140. The liquid mixes with the coffee powder, and the stirring device 113 again operates at a low speed to accelerate the mixing of the coffee powder and liquid, resulting in coffee extract. The coffee extract is then discharged through a first flow channel, where a filter 130 filters the coffee extract to remove impurities and improve the coffee's flavor. After the coffee is drained, the cup 110 is cleaned. At this time, a certain amount of cleaning medium is injected into the cup body 110, and then the stirring device 113 is operated to stir up the impurities deposited on the filter element 130, causing the impurities to separate from the filter element 130 and float in the cleaning medium. Then, the switch 160 opens the second drainage channel, or the first drainage channel and the second drainage channel are opened simultaneously. The cleaning medium mixed with impurities can be discharged through the second channel without the filter element 130, thereby cleaning the cup body 110. The food processor 100 can also repeat the liquid injection, stirring and drainage operations multiple times to improve the cleaning effect on the cup body 110.

[0256] By providing a second drain port 112 on the cup body 110 and a switch 160 that can open or close the first drain port 111 and / or the second drain port 112, the liquid discharge channel inside the cup body 110 can be controlled. When liquid filtration is required, the switch 160 only opens the first drain port 111 to discharge the liquid through the first flow channel. When impurities inside the cup body 110 need to be discharged, the switch 160 opens the second drain port 112 to discharge the liquid through the second flow channel, thus realizing the functions of the food processor 100 in removing beverages and cleaning the cup body 110.

[0257] Example 14:

[0258] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in one specific embodiment based on any of the above embodiments, the switch 160 is movable relative to the cup body 110. When the switch 160 moves to the first position, the switch 160 opens the first drain port 111 and closes the second drain port 112, and the first flow channel is connected to the outside. When the switch 160 moves to the second position, the switch 160 opens the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112, and both the first flow channel and the second flow channel are connected to the outside. When the switch 160 moves to the third position, the switch 160 closes the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112, and the first flow channel and the second flow channel are blocked from connecting to the outside.

[0259] In this embodiment, the switch 160 is movable relative to the cup body 110. As the switch 160 moves to different positions, it can open or close the first drain port 111 and / or the second drain port 112. Specifically, when the first switch 160 moves to the first position, it opens the first drain port 111 and closes the second drain port 112, connecting the first flow channel to the outside. At this time, the liquid in the cup body 110 can be discharged through the first flow channel. Since a filter 130 is provided in the first flow channel, it can filter the liquid to remove impurities. When the liquid in the cup body 110 is a beverage such as an extract, the switch 160 can be moved to the first position to discharge the beverage through the first drain port 111, filtering the beverage before discharge and improving its taste. Users can adjust the position of the switch 160 according to their needs.

[0260] Furthermore, when the switch 160 is moved to the second position, it opens the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112, connecting both the first and second flow channels to the outside. At this time, the liquid inside the cup 110 can be discharged simultaneously through the first and second flow channels. Since there is no filter 130 in the second flow channel, when it is necessary to remove impurities from the cup 110, the switch 160 can be moved to the second position, allowing the liquid mixed with impurities to be discharged through the second flow channel, thus achieving the effect of removing impurities. For example, when cleaning the cup 110, the switch 160 can be moved to the second position, thereby discharging the cleaning medium mixed with impurities from the cup 110 through the first and second flow channels.

[0261] Furthermore, when the switch 160 is moved to the third position, it closes the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112, thereby blocking the connection between the first and second flow channels and the outside world. Liquid inside the cup 110 cannot be discharged through the first and second flow channels. During the beverage preparation process and the cleaning process of the cup 110, the switch 160 can be moved to the third position. At this time, it is ensured that liquid inside the cup 110 cannot flow out, thus ensuring the normal operation of the food processor 100.

[0262] Furthermore, the food processor 100 also includes a switch driver 161 connected to the switch 160 to drive the switch 160 to move relative to the cup body 110.

[0263] By enabling the switch 160 to move between the first position, the second position, and the third position, the opening and closing of the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112 can be controlled by the movement of the switch 160. The position of the switch 160 can be adjusted as needed to realize the process of making beverages, discharging beverages, and cleaning the cup body 110 by the food processor 100.

[0264] Specifically, the switch driver 161 includes a drive rod, which is a threaded rod. The switch 160 has a drive cavity adapted to the drive rod, and the drive cavity has an internal thread. The external thread on the drive rod meshes with the internal thread in the drive cavity. The switch driver 161 also includes a motor connected to the drive rod, which can drive the drive rod to rotate relative to the drive cavity. When the drive rod rotates relative to the drive cavity, the external thread of the drive rod engages with the internal thread of the drive cavity, thereby enabling the switch 160 to move relative to the cup body 110 as the drive rod rotates.

[0265] Example 15:

[0266] like Figure 7 As shown, in one specific embodiment based on any of the above embodiments, the food processor 100 further includes: a liquid storage tank 170 for storing liquid, the liquid storage tank 170 being connected to the cup body 110 via a liquid inlet pipe 140; and a pump assembly 180 for pumping the liquid in the liquid storage tank 170 into the cup body 110 via the liquid inlet pipe 140.

[0267] In this embodiment, the food processor 100 also includes a liquid storage tank 170. The liquid storage tank 170 is used to store liquid, and the liquid storage tank 170 is connected to the cup body 110 through a liquid inlet pipe 140. The liquid in the liquid storage tank 170 can be injected into the cup body 110 through the liquid inlet pipe 140.

[0268] In one possible embodiment, there may be multiple storage tanks 170, wherein at least one storage tank 170 is used to store cleaning medium, and at least one storage tank 170 is used to store water. When the food processor 100 prepares a beverage, the water in the storage tank 170 is injected into the cup body 110 through the inlet pipe 140. When the food processor 100 cleans the cup body 110, the cleaning medium in the storage tank 170 is injected into the cup body 110.

[0269] In another possible embodiment, there is one liquid storage tank 170, in which the user stores water. When the food processor 100 prepares a beverage and cleans the cup 110, the water in the liquid storage tank 170 is poured into the cup 110.

[0270] Furthermore, in order to allow the liquid in the storage tank 170 to be injected into the cup body 110, a pump assembly 180 is also provided in the food processor 100. The pump assembly 180 can pump the liquid in the storage tank 170 into the cup body 110 through the liquid pipeline.

[0271] By incorporating a liquid storage tank 170 and a pump assembly 180 into the food processor 100, the food processor 100 is able to automatically complete the entire beverage preparation and cup cleaning process, thereby improving the automation level of the food processor 100.

[0272] Example 16:

[0273] In one specific embodiment based on any of the above embodiments, the food processor 100 further includes a heating device for heating the liquid inside the cup 110. During the cleaning process of the cup 110 by the food processor 100, the pump assembly 180 injects unheated liquid from the storage tank 170 into the cup 110, and then the heating device heats the low-temperature liquid inside the cup 110. Thus, under the immersion of the high-temperature liquid, impurities can be more easily separated from the wall of the cup 110 and the filter element 130, improving the cleaning effect of the cup 110. Both the instant heating device 150 and the heating device in the food processor 100 can heat the liquid. The difference is that the instant heating device 150 heats the liquid flowing through the inlet pipe 140 so that the food inside the cup 110 is directly mixed with the high-temperature liquid, while the heating device heats the liquid inside the cup 110. After the low-temperature liquid is injected into the cup 110, the heating device then heats the liquid inside the cup 110. In this way, users can select different heating methods to heat liquids according to their actual needs, thereby enabling the food processor 100 to perform a variety of different functions.

[0274] This food processor 100 can perform multiple functions, such as making drinking water, extracting juice, making soy milk, and making rice paste.

[0275] Example 17:

[0276] The food processor 100 proposed in this invention includes a filter element 130. The mesh size of the filter element 130 is between 200 and 2000 meshes. The area of ​​the filter element 130 is generally greater than 100 square millimeters, but does not exceed 2 / 3 of the bottom area of ​​the cup. If the area of ​​the filter element 130 is too small, the filtration speed will be very slow or even blocked. If the area of ​​the filter element 130 is too large, too much residue will remain on the filter element 130, making cleaning more difficult.

[0277] The coffee-making process is as follows: After adding coffee beans and starting the machine, the coffee beans are first ground at high speed (speed > 6000r / min). (The grinding time is generally no more than 3 minutes. During the grinding process, you can stop for about 10 seconds every minute or continue grinding at high speed.) Then, according to the water volume set by the user, hot water (above 90℃) is added to extract the coffee. The extraction time ranges from 2 minutes to 15 minutes. Then, the coffee filtering and cleaning stages begin.

[0278] The specific process for filtering coffee, cleaning residue, and washing is as follows: After pulping, the switch 160 is controlled to open only the first drain port 111, while the second drain port 112 remains closed, thus starting the coffee filtering process. To speed up the filtering process, the stirring device 113 is also started rotating during the filtering process (it can also remain stationary). The stirring speed range is 500 rpm to 15000 rpm, preferably 7000 rpm to 10000 rpm. The coffee discharge time should generally be more than 10 seconds, preferably less than 5 minutes, ideally 1 minute. Too short a time will not be enough to filter the coffee completely, while too long a time will result in an excessively long waiting time. After the coffee is filtered, the control switch 160 closes the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112, the pump assembly 180 injects water into the cup body 110, and at the same time starts the stirring device 113 (speed > 500 r / min) to fully blend the filter residue (stirring time > 2s), then opens the first drain port 111 and the second drain port 112 to drain the mixed water containing the filter residue, and then enters the normal automatic blender cleaning process. First, add 400ml of water to vigorously rinse the cup wall and agitate at high speed for about 2 minutes (speed > 6000 rpm). Then add about 200ml of water and control the heating device to heat the water in the cup. When the temperature reaches the set temperature (generally above 70℃), start agitating at high speed for about 2 minutes (speed > 6000 rpm). Then drain the wastewater into the wastewater cup. Then add about 200ml of water again and agitate at high speed for about 2 minutes (speed > 6000 rpm). Drain the wastewater. Then add about 100ml of water and agitate at high speed for about 20 seconds (speed > 6000 rpm). Drain the wastewater. The cleaning process is now complete.
