Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a method for handling alarms in a food processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, household appliances sometimes malfunction during operation. If the appliances are not handled properly, it may pose a threat to the user's personal safety or further damage the appliances.

[0003] Current food processors such as blenders and food processors use fault alarms and stop working when faced with abnormal operating conditions, such as mains power fluctuation alarms, zero-crossing signal abnormality or loss alarms, sensor failure alarms, and communication abnormality alarms. However, some fault alarms are irreversible, meaning that the currently used materials are essentially unusable, leading to material waste. If users attempt to check or repair the food processor themselves, it may even cause safety issues such as cuts or burns.

[0004] Therefore, the technical issue of how to improve the safety of food processing machines urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method for handling alarms in a food processing machine to address the technical problem of improving the safety of food processing machines.

[0006] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for handling alarms in a food processor is provided. The food processor includes: a detachable component, a status detection module for the detachable component, a power supply detection module, and a working status detection module for the food processor. The method includes: during the operation of the food processor, acquiring a detection signal from at least one of the status detection module, the power supply detection module, and the working status detection module; determining the alarm type of the fault through the detection signal; when the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, outputting recovery guidance information until the food processor resumes operation; when the alarm type is an unrecoverable alarm type, performing a corresponding cleanup action based on the current working stage.

[0007] Optionally, when the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, the method further includes: disabling the cancel button function, which is used to stop the food processor from running and return it to standby mode by active triggering by the user.

[0008] Optionally, the output recovery guidance information includes: outputting voice guidance information and / or displaying guidance information.

[0009] Optionally, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage includes: when the current working stage is the working stage after the material crushing stage is completed, performing the liquid drainage action; when the current working stage is the working stage before the material crushing stage is completed, performing the crushing action and the liquid drainage action in sequence.

[0010] Optionally, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage includes: identifying the amount of material in the material crushing stage or crushing action; determining the drainage duration in the drainage action based on the identified amount of material, wherein the drainage duration is positively correlated with the identified amount of material.

[0011] Optionally, when the current working stage is the working stage before the material crushing stage is completed, it is determined whether the water intake is completed in the current working stage; when the water intake is completed, the steps of sequentially executing the crushing action and the draining action are entered; when the water intake is not completed, a preset amount of water is controlled to be added before entering the steps of sequentially executing the crushing action and the draining action.

[0012] Optionally, the crushing action includes: repeatedly performing the following steps until a preset number of cycles or a preset cycle duration is reached: crushing at a first rotation speed for a first preset duration; crushing at a second rotation speed for a second preset duration, wherein the first rotation speed is greater than the second rotation speed, and the first preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0013] Optionally, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage further includes: obtaining the current processing function; when the current processing function is a cleaning function, draining the liquid into the residual water box when performing the draining action; when the current processing function is a material processing function, draining the liquid into the receiving cup when performing the draining action.

[0014] Optionally, before performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage, the process includes: determining whether the alarm type is a motor temperature control alarm; when the alarm type is a motor temperature control alarm, controlling the food processor to stop running until the motor reaches the recovery condition, and then controlling the food processor to continue running; when the alarm type is not a motor temperature control alarm, proceeding to the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage.

[0015] Optionally, the recoverable alarm types include at least one of the following: cup lid alarm, slurry cup alarm, water tank alarm, water tank low alarm, and high / low voltage alarm.

[0016] In this application, when an alarm is issued during the operation of the food processor, the alarm type is determined. If the alarm type is a recoverable alarm, the food processor can output information to guide the user in troubleshooting. By following the guidance information, the user can eliminate the fault in the food processor, avoiding the waste of materials caused by the user directly stopping the food processor. If the alarm type is a non-recoverable alarm, the food processor can perform a self-cleaning action according to the current working stage without user intervention, avoiding personal injury such as burns or cuts caused by the user cleaning the materials inside the food processor, thus improving the safety of the food processor.

[0017] Furthermore, when a food processor malfunctions, the user may directly turn off the power or unplug the power cord to stop the machine. Even if the machine restarts after the malfunction is resolved, the processing program has already restarted due to the power outage, causing the processed material to become unusable. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the food processor determines that the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, it will disable the cancel button function to prevent the user from stopping the machine. Then, the machine will output recovery guidance information to guide the user until the machine resumes operation, thus avoiding waste of materials.

[0018] Furthermore, the recovery guidance information can be voice guidance, using voice to guide the user to perform corresponding operations for the fault, so that the food processor can resume operation and continue processing the current material; recovery guidance information can also be display guidance information, displaying each operation step on the food processor's display screen until the user completes the operation and the food processor resumes operation; recovery guidance information can also be both voice guidance and display guidance information simultaneously to guide the user to operate, so that the food processor can resume operation and continue processing the current material, avoiding material waste.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0032] As described in the background section, current food processors such as blenders and food processors use fault alarms and stop working when faced with abnormal operating conditions, such as mains power fluctuation alarms, zero-crossing signal abnormality or loss alarms, sensor failure alarms, and communication abnormality alarms. However, some alarms caused by faults are irreversible, so the materials currently in use are basically unusable, which leads to material waste. If users try to check or repair the food processor themselves, it may even cause safety problems such as cuts or burns.

[0033] Therefore, according to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for handling alarms in a food processing machine is provided. The food processing machine includes: a detachable component, a status detection module for the detachable component, a power supply detection module, and a working status detection module for the food processing machine. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes:

[0034] S10. Obtain the detection signal of at least one of the status detection module, the power supply detection module, and the working status detection module.

[0035] S20. Determine the alarm type of the fault by means of the detection signal.

[0036] In this embodiment, the alarm type of the food processor failure can be determined by obtaining the temperature of the drive motor through the temperature detection module and detecting whether the cup lid is in place through the cup lid position detection module. When abnormal conditions such as mains power fluctuation or sensor failure are detected during the operation of the food processor, the food processor can issue a corresponding alarm type according to the type of abnormal condition.

[0037] As an exemplary embodiment, the status detection module can detect the in-situ status of detachable parts, and can also detect the current material status inside some detachable parts. For example, it can detect whether the water tank is short of water, whether the water in the residual water box exceeds the water level line, and whether the liquid in the receiving cup exceeds the liquid level line.

[0038] The power supply detection module can detect the mains voltage, current and other power supply conditions in real time, and can also detect zero-crossing signals.

[0039] The working status detection module can detect the working status of the food processing machine in real time, such as whether the motor is stuck or the rotary valve is stuck, which is often difficult to recover through simple operation.

[0040] In this embodiment, abnormal signals such as the presence status of detachable components and material status can be recoverable. High or low voltage caused by mains power fluctuations can also be recovered. However, situations such as motor stalling or valve stalling are often unrecoverable.

[0041] S30. When the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, output recovery guidance information until the food processing machine resumes operation.

[0042] When the alarm type is a recoverable alarm, the food processor can output information to guide the user in troubleshooting. By following the guidance information, the user can eliminate the fault and avoid directly stopping the food processor, which would lead to material waste.

[0043] For example, when the lid of the food processor is not in place, the food processor can issue a voice prompt saying "Please close the lid" to remind the user to close the lid; when the water tank of the food processor is low on water, the food processor can issue a voice prompt saying "Please add water to the water tank" to remind the user to add water, etc.

[0044] S40. When the alarm type is an unrecoverable alarm type, perform the corresponding cleanup action based on the current working stage.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the alarm type is an unrecoverable alarm type, the food processor can perform a corresponding self-cleaning action according to the current working stage. Without user intervention, it automatically discharges the slurry into the residual water box or slurry cup, avoiding personal injury such as burns or cuts caused by the user cleaning the materials in the food processor, thus improving the safety of the food processor.

[0046] When a food processor malfunctions, users may directly turn off the power or unplug the cord to stop it from working. Even if the food processor restarts after the malfunction is resolved, the processing program has already restarted due to the power outage, which may cause the processed material to become unusable.

[0047] Therefore, as an exemplary embodiment, when the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, it further includes: disabling the cancel button function, which is used to stop the food processor from running and return it to standby state through user active triggering.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the food processor determines that the alarm type is a recoverable alarm type, the food processor will disable the cancel button function to prevent the user from stopping the food processor. Then, the food processor will output recovery guidance information to guide the user to operate until the food processor resumes operation, thus avoiding waste of materials.

[0049] As an exemplary embodiment, see [link to example]. Figures 2-5 As shown, the output recovery guidance information includes: output voice guidance information and / or display guidance information. In this embodiment, the recovery guidance information can be voice guidance information, using voice to guide the user to perform corresponding operations for the fault, so that the food processor can resume operation and continue processing the current material; the recovery guidance information can also be display guidance information, displaying each operation step on the display screen of the food processor until the user completes the operation and the food processor resumes operation; the recovery guidance information can also be both voice guidance information and display guidance information simultaneously to guide the user to perform operations, so that the food processor can resume operation and continue processing the current material, avoiding material waste.

[0050] Specifically, when a recoverable alarm occurs during the operation of the food processing machine, the display of the cancel button is first turned off to reduce the user's button guidance. At the same time, voice guidance and / or display interface guidance are provided so that the user can operate according to the voice guidance and / or display interface guidance and resume work in a timely manner. This avoids the situation where the user cuts off the power or cancels the function without any guidance, which would lead to material waste.

[0051] When a recoverable alarm occurs, the system first loops through the alarm to find the corresponding voice prompt, and then broadcasts the alarm. In a self-cleaning food processor, recoverable alarms can include cup lid alarm, receiving cup alarm, residual water box alarm, water tank low water alarm, high / low voltage alarm, etc. In this embodiment, the recoverable alarm types include at least one of the above alarm types. For example, if the user's cup lid is not closed or not properly closed, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to close the cup lid; if the user removes the receiving cup during the process, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to put the receiving cup back; if the residual water box is full during the process, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to empty the residual water box; if the residual water box is not properly placed during the process, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to put the residual water box back; if the water tank is low during the process, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to add water; if the mains voltage fluctuates during the process, causing the mains voltage to be outside the voltage range required for the food processor to operate, an intermittent voice prompt will remind the user to wait for the mains voltage to recover before continuing the process. When an alarm is triggered, a voice broadcast can guide the user in real time, enabling timely restoration of normal operation. This effectively prevents users from operating the system without guidance, resulting in issues such as canceling functions or restarting after a power outage, thus avoiding material waste.

[0052] When a recoverable alarm occurs, the system first loops through the system to find the corresponding graphic display, and then displays the graphic to remind the user. In self-cleaning food processors, the display area will have full graphics of all components of the food processor. When the lid is not closed, the lid graphic will flash to remind the user to close it; when the receiving cup is not placed in the correct position, the receiving cup icon will flash to remind the user to put the receiving cup back; when the water tank is full, the water tank icon will flash to remind the user to empty the water tank; when the water tank is not placed in the correct position, the water tank icon will flash to remind the user to place the water tank in the correct position; when the water tank is low on water, the water tank icon will flash to remind the user to add water and continue working; when the voltage is abnormal, the graphic on the machine body will flash to remind the user to wait for the voltage to be restored.

[0053] When a food processing machine malfunctions during operation, some faults are irreversible and require repair by a technician. However, at this time, the machine still contains processed material. If this material is not removed and allowed to evaporate, it will stick to the processing chamber and blades, making subsequent repairs difficult. If the user attempts to clean it themselves, the sharpness of the blades and the heat generated by the high-speed rotation may cause cuts or burns.

[0054] As an exemplary embodiment, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage includes: when the current working stage is the working stage after the material crushing stage is completed, performing the liquid drainage action; when the current working stage is the working stage before the material crushing stage is completed, performing the crushing action and the liquid drainage action in sequence.

[0055] In this embodiment, for non-recoverable alarm types, the food processor can discharge the material in the processing chamber based on a set program for self-cleaning. When the food processor has completed material crushing, it can directly perform the draining action, discharging the material into the receiving cup or residual water box; when the material has not yet been crushed, it needs to be crushed first before draining. The determination of whether the material has been crushed can be based on the current working stage of the food processor.

[0056] As an exemplary embodiment, see [link to example]. Figure 6 As shown, when the current working stage is the working stage before the material crushing stage is completed, it is determined whether the water intake is completed in the current working stage; when the water intake is completed, the crushing action and the liquid discharge action are executed in sequence; when the water intake is not completed, the preset amount of water is controlled to be added before the crushing action and the liquid discharge action are executed in sequence.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the food processor is currently in operation and water has not yet been introduced or the water introduction process has not yet ended, an unrecoverable alarm will trigger a deep cleaning process. Deep cleaning requires water introduction to be completed first, followed by crushing the ingredients and sequentially performing material crushing and draining actions. If the food processor is currently in operation and water introduction has been completed, but crushing has not yet been completed, an unrecoverable alarm will trigger a medium cleaning process. Medium cleaning requires material crushing and draining actions to be performed sequentially. If the food processor is currently in operation and crushing has been completed, only a light cleaning process is needed to drain the slurry from the processing chamber into the receiving cup.

[0058] For example, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage includes: identifying the amount of material in the material crushing stage or crushing action; and determining the drainage time in the drainage action based on the identified amount of material, wherein the drainage time is positively correlated with the identified amount of material. In this embodiment, the amount of material can be identified by obtaining the working electrical parameters of the food processor, such as working current and working voltage. When the amount of material is greater, the stirring time and kinetic energy required by the food processor are greater, thus requiring a larger working current. Therefore, when the working current is larger, it indicates a larger amount of material, and the corresponding drainage time is longer. When the working current is smaller, it indicates a smaller amount of material, and the corresponding drainage time is shorter. Determining the corresponding drainage time based on the amount of material can save drainage time and ensure that the material in the food processor is completely drained, avoiding material residue.

[0059] As an exemplary embodiment, see [link to example]. Figure 7-8 As shown, before performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage, the process includes: determining whether the alarm type is a motor temperature control alarm; when the alarm type is a motor temperature control alarm, controlling the food processor to stop running until the motor reaches the recovery condition, and then controlling the food processor to continue running; when the alarm type is not a motor temperature control alarm, proceeding to the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage. The crushing action includes: cyclically executing the following steps until a preset number of cycles or a preset cycle duration is reached: crushing at a first speed for a first preset duration; crushing at a second speed for a second preset duration, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed, and the first preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0060] In this embodiment, after entering the deep cleaning process, it is first determined whether there is a motor temperature control alarm. If there is a motor temperature control alarm, the process needs to be stopped for 2-4 minutes until the motor recovers before proceeding again. If there is another unrecoverable alarm, the process continues. 200-400ml of water is added first to soak the ingredients, then high-speed pulverization begins for 40-50 seconds. During high-speed pulverization, the current is collected to determine the drainage time. After high-speed pulverization, low-speed pulverization is performed for 10-20 seconds, followed by a stop for 8-12 seconds. In this food processing machine, the total time for the material pulverization stage is 2-4 minutes, which can thoroughly pulverize the material. After pulverization, the material is discharged into the receiving cup, completing the deep cleaning process.

[0061] If an unrecoverable alarm occurs when the food processor has finished filling with water but the material grinding is not yet complete, the system will enter a medium-cleaning process. It is necessary to first determine if the alarm is due to motor temperature control. If so, the process should be stopped for 2-4 minutes until the motor recovers before resuming. If it is due to another unrecoverable alarm, high-speed grinding will proceed for 40-50 seconds. During high-speed grinding, the current operating current will be collected to determine the drainage time. After high-speed grinding, low-speed grinding will continue for 10-20 seconds, followed by a stop for 8-12 seconds. The total time is 2-4 minutes to thoroughly grind the ingredients. After grinding, the material is discharged into the receiving cup. The drainage time is dynamic and determined by the collected current. A higher current results in a longer drainage time, and a lower current results in a shorter drainage time. Compared to a fixed drainage time, this method is more intelligent and saves time, draining the slurry in the shortest possible time.

[0062] When the grinding process reaches the completion stage, an unrecoverable alarm occurs. Since grinding is now complete, simply drain the slurry from the processing chamber. The system will then enter a light cleaning process, draining the slurry into the receiving cup or waste water box.

[0063] As an exemplary embodiment, the step of performing the corresponding cleaning action based on the current working stage further includes: obtaining the current processing function; when the current processing function is a cleaning function, draining the liquid into the residual water box when performing the draining action; when the current processing function is a material processing function, draining the liquid into the receiving cup when performing the draining action.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the current processing function is cleaning, since there is no material in the food processor, the wastewater generated during cleaning is directly discharged into the residual water box. When the current processing function is material processing, since the crushed material can still be used, the slurry can be discharged into the receiving cup during the liquid discharge to avoid material waste.
