[0076] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0077] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention with reference to Figures 1 to 6 , describing the embodiments of the present invention.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a food crushing device is provided, including a food container 1, a whipping assembly 2, a rotation source 3, a detection module 4, and a control module 7.

[0079] The wringing assembly 2 extends into the food container 1 and is used to wring the food in the food container 1. A power output terminal is connected to the wringing assembly 2 and is used to drive the wringing assembly 2 to rotate. A detection module 4 is disposed within the food container 1. A control module 7 is communicatively coupled to the detection module 4 and is capable of determining whether the food is spoiled based on the detection results of the detection module 4. The control module 7 is communicatively coupled to the rotation source 3 and is capable of controlling the rotation source 3 to stop rotating if the food is determined to be spoiled.

[0080] In one embodiment, the food crushing device further includes a prompt module. The control module 7 can control the prompt module to display the corresponding food status according to the detection result of the detection module 4.

[0081] During use of the food crushing device of the embodiment of the present invention, the control module 7 can judge the freshness of the food based on the detection results of the detection module 4, and control the rotation source 3 to stop rotating after determining that the food is spoiled, so as to avoid crushing the spoiled food, or control the prompt module to display the corresponding food status to inform the user that the food is spoiled, thereby avoiding crushing the spoiled food, which results in time-consuming, labor-intensive and wasteful resources, and avoids the burden of cleaning the food crushing device for the user.

[0082] In addition, when the inside of the food has begun to rot, but the color and touch of the outside have not changed significantly, the twisting component 2 can crush the food, so that the gas generated during the food spoilage process can be fully released, and the concentration of the odor molecules of the spoilage is increased, so that the detection module 4 can more accurately capture the odor molecules emitted by the spoiled food, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0083] The control module 7 may include a programmable logic control component (such as a PLC or CPU), a memory, and electronic components connected to the programmable logic control component, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The rotation source 3 may be a device capable of outputting rotation, such as an electric motor, an engine, a hydraulic motor, or a combination of one of them and a speed reducer.

[0085] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the twisting assembly 2 includes a hinge shaft 201 , and the detection module 4 is disposed on one side of the hinge shaft 201 .

[0086] When the detection module 4 is set on one side of the hinge shaft 201, the detection module 4 can be closer to the food to facilitate the detection of the freshness of the food, and the detection module 4 can be avoided as much as possible from being splashed by food debris, thereby avoiding the food debris from affecting the detection accuracy of the detection module 4 or bringing the additional burden of cleaning the detection module 4.

[0087] In one embodiment, the food crushing device further includes a machine head 5. The rotation source 3 is disposed inside the machine head 5. The food container 1 includes a bowl body 101 and a bowl cover 102. The bowl cover 102 is covered on the bowl body 101. The machine head 5 can be connected to the bowl cover 102, and the detection module 4 is disposed on the machine head 5.

[0088] As a transformable embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the food crushing device includes a base. The food container 1 includes a cup body disposed on the base and a cup cover covered on the cup body.

[0089] The whipping assembly 2 is connected to the base and extends into the cup body, and the detection module 4 is disposed inside the cup body or on the cup cover.

[0090] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the detection module 4 is an odor sensor, and the food crushing device further includes a splash guard 6.

[0091] The splash guard 6 is connected to the machine head 5 and is disposed around the detection module 4. The splash guard 6 is provided with odor through holes 601.

[0092] When the food is slightly spoiled, although it may not be detectable by manual smelling, the odor sensor can detect the trace gases released during the spoilage process, such as the common gases released during the spoilage of vegetables and meats, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc. A gas sensor, such as an electrochemical sensor, can be used for detection. The sensor can accurately measure the gas concentration emitted by the food, judge the freshness or spoilage degree of the food, and issue an alarm when the preset threshold is reached.

[0093] Taking the electrochemical sensor as an example, when the detected H₂S concentration is not detected or the detected concentration is less than 20 ppm, it is determined that the food is fresh. When the detected value is greater than or equal to 20 ppm, it is determined that the food has been slightly spoiled, and the control module 7 controls the rotation source 3 to stop rotating, and the prompt module displays that the food has spoiled.

[0094] The splash guard 6 can prevent food debris from splashing onto the surface of the odor sensor during the use of the food crushing device, which may affect the detection accuracy, and the odor through holes 601 can allow the odor to pass through, so as to ensure that the odor sensor can fully collect the gases released by the food.

[0095] In one embodiment, the size of the splash guard 6 in the vertical direction is larger than that of the odor sensor, and the bottom of the splash guard 6 is hollowed out. Since the whipping assembly 2 mainly drives the food to rotate circumferentially inside the food container 1 during rotation, the splashed food will mainly contact the odor sensor from the side.

[0096] The splash guard 6 of the food crushing device according to the embodiment of the present application is arranged to extend below the odor sensor and has a hollow bottom, which can ensure that food splashes are avoided from hitting the odor sensor and can minimize the impact on the odor sensor's collection of the odor of food.

[0097] As an alternative embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in some of the drawings, the detection module 4 can also be a nanocolorimetric sensor, which can judge the ammonia content generated by food through color change.

[0098] As another alternative embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in another drawing, the detection module 4 can also be an impedance biosensor, a phage fluorescence sensor, a color sensor, a texture sensor, etc.

[0099] In one embodiment, the prompting module can optionally include an alarm and a display module.

[0100] The control module 7 can control the alarm to give an alarm when the detection module 4 detects that the concentration of the specified gas is greater than or equal to the preset safety value.

[0101] In one embodiment, the alarm can beep to prompt the user to replace the food ingredients when the food spoils.

[0102] The display module is preferably but not limited to a display lamp. The control module 7 can control the display lamp to light up when the detection module 4 detects that the concentration of the specified gas is less than the preset safety value.

[0103] As an alternative embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the prompting module can also be a display screen, which can display the status information of the freshness of the food.

[0104] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a panel 501 is provided on the machine head 5, and the indicator lamp 8 is arranged on the panel 501, which can facilitate the user to observe and know whether the food is fresh.

[0105] In one embodiment, a gear button 9 and a switch button 10 are also provided on the panel 501.

[0106] The user can press the gear button 9 to switch the rotation speed of the beating component 2 of the food crushing device.

[0107] Exemplarily, in an optional embodiment, the food crushing device includes three gears: low, medium, and high. When the food crushing device is in the low gear, the rotation speed of its beating component 2 is slower, which is suitable for processing ingredients such as cooked meat, leafy vegetables, and tofu, and can avoid excessive crushing of the ingredients.

[0108] When the food crushing device is at medium speed, its rotation speed is moderate, suitable for processing fresh meat, root vegetables, etc., and can balance efficiency and fineness.

[0109] When the food crushing device is at high speed, its rotation speed is fast, suitable for processing frozen meat and hard vegetables, and can quickly crush foods with higher hardness. The particles after processing are relatively coarse.

[0110] In the embodiment as Figure 1 shown, the food crushing device can be selected as a meat grinder, but the implementation manner of the food crushing device in the embodiments of the present application is not limited thereto. As a transformable implementation manner, in the embodiments not shown in the drawings, the food crushing device can also be selected as a juicer, a soymilk machine, a cooking machine, etc.

[0111] In summary, the food crushing device according to the first aspect of the present invention can avoid the time-consuming, laborious and resource-wasting situation of grinding spoiled food, and avoid bringing the burden of cleaning the food crushing device to the user.

[0112] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a control method for a food crushing device is also provided.

[0113] Next, in combination with the attached Figure 7 to the attached Figure 9 , the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0114] Among them, the food crushing device includes a food container 1, a grinding assembly 2, a rotation source 3, a detection module 4 and a prompt module.

[0115] Among them, the grinding assembly 2 extends into the food container 1 and is used to grind the food in the food container 1. The power output end is connected to the grinding assembly 2 and is used to drive the grinding assembly 2 to rotate. The detection module 4 is arranged in the food container 1 and is used to detect the smell of the food in the food container 1. The prompt module can display the corresponding food state.

[0116] The control method includes step S3, step S4 and step S5.

[0117] Among them, step S3 includes: obtaining the detection result of the detection module 4.

[0118] Step S4 includes: obtaining the corresponding control strategy according to the detection result of the detection module 4.

[0119] Step S5 includes: controlling the rotation source 3 and the prompt module to execute the control strategy.

[0120] During the execution of the control method according to the second aspect of the present invention, the control module 7 can judge the freshness of the food based on the detection result of the detection module 4, and control the rotation source 3 to stop rotating after judging that the food has deteriorated, so as to avoid crushing the deteriorated food, or control the prompt module to display the corresponding food status to inform the user that the food has deteriorated, thereby avoiding the waste of time, effort and resources caused by crushing the deteriorated food, and avoiding bringing the burden of cleaning the food crushing device to the user.

[0121] In one embodiment, step S4 includes:

[0122] Step S401: Judge whether the concentration of the specified gas detected by the detection module 4 is greater than or equal to the preset safety value;

[0123] Step S5 further includes:

[0124] Step S501: When the concentration of the specified gas detected by the detection module 4 is greater than or equal to the preset safety value, control the rotation source 3 to stop rotating.

[0125] By setting like this, when the control module 7 judges that the food has deteriorated according to the detection result of the detection module 4, it can control the rotation source 3 to stop rotating, thereby avoiding crushing the deteriorated food, causing waste of time, effort and resources.

[0126] In one embodiment, the specified gas is a common gas released during the deterioration of vegetables and meats, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

[0127] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the specified gas is hydrogen sulfide and the preset safety value is 20 ppm.

[0128] As a transformable implementation manner, the control module 7 can also be configured to:

[0129] Be able to control the rotation source 3 to rotate and crush the food after obtaining the crushing signal, and at the same time the control module 7 continuously obtains the detection result of the detection module 4.

[0130] In one embodiment, the prompt module includes an alarm, and step S5 further includes step S502.

[0131] Step S502: When the concentration of the specified gas detected by the detection module 4 is greater than or equal to the preset safety value, control the alarm to give an alarm.

[0132] By setting like this, the control module 7 can remind the user to replace the food ingredients and process the deteriorated ingredients when judging that the food has deteriorated, thereby preventing the user from accidentally eating the deteriorated ingredients.

[0133] In one embodiment, the prompting module includes a display module, and step S5 further includes step S503.

[0134] Step S503: When the concentration of the specified gas detected by the detection module 4 is less than the preset safety value, the display module displays the status information indicating that the food is fresh.

[0135] By setting like this, the control module 7 can control the display module to display the status information indicating that the food is fresh when it determines that the food is in a fresh state, so that people can eat the food with confidence.

[0136] In one embodiment, the display module is a display lamp. When the detection result of the detection module 4 is less than the preset safety value, the control module 7 can control the display lamp to light up.

[0137] As a transformable implementation manner, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the prompting module can also be alternatively a display screen, and the display screen can display the fresh state of the food.

[0138] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the control method further includes step S101;

[0139] Step S101: Obtain a whipping instruction.

[0140] Step S2: Control the detection module 4 to detect the concentration of the specified odor in the food container 1.

[0141] The control method further includes step S5.

[0142] Step S6 includes: Based on the whipping instruction, control the rotation source 3 to drive the whipping assembly 2 to rotate.

[0143] By setting like this, when the control module 7 of the embodiment of the present invention receives the whipping instruction, the food crushing device can be switched to the whipping mode, the control module 7 can control the rotation source 3 to drive the whipping assembly 2 to rotate, and at the same time, the odor sensor detects the concentration of the specified gas in the food container 1.

[0144] When the inside of the food has started to spoil, but there are no obvious changes in the external color and texture, the whipping assembly 2 can crush the food, so that the gas generated during the spoilage process of the food is fully dispersed, and the concentration of the spoilage odor molecules increases, so that the detection module 4 can more accurately capture the odor molecules emitted by the spoiled food, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection result.

[0145] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the sequence numbers of the steps are not the inevitable order between the steps. For example, step S5 is a control step based on step S101, and it can be executed before step S2, or can be executed simultaneously with step S, or can be executed after step S2.

[0146] In one embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the control method of the food crushing device further includes step S102;

[0147] Step S102: Obtain a standby instruction.

[0148] Step S2: Control the detection module 4 to detect the concentration of a specified odor in the food container 1.

[0149] In the related art, since it takes a certain amount of time to detect whether food is spoiled using an odor sensor, the detection module 4 is generally set in a device that stores food for a long time, such as a refrigerator, etc. However, setting the detection module 4 in a device that stores food such as a refrigerator has the problem that due to the large variety and quantity of stored food, the judgment is inaccurate, and it is also difficult to identify which specific food has spoiled.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, the food crushing device is provided with a standby mode. By setting it like this, when the user thaws or soaks meat or vegetables, the food to be thawed can be placed in the food container 1, and the food crushing device can be switched to the standby mode. At this time, the detection module 4 can detect the freshness of the food during the food detection process and feedback to the user through the prompt module, so that the user can accurately know the food status without wasting time waiting for the detection result of the food freshness status.

[0151] In one embodiment, the food crushing device can automatically obtain a standby instruction after being powered on and be in the standby mode.

[0152] As an alternative embodiment, the food crushing device can also be optionally provided with a control button, and the user can send a standby instruction to the control module 7 by pressing the control button.

[0153] In summary, the food crushing device of the first aspect and the control method of the food crushing device of the second aspect of the present invention can control the rotation source 3 to stop rotating after it is determined that the food has spoiled, so as to avoid crushing the spoiled food, or control the prompt module to display the corresponding food status to inform the user that the food has spoiled, thereby avoiding the time-consuming, laborious and resource-wasting caused by crushing the spoiled food, and avoiding bringing a burden to the user for cleaning the food crushing device.

[0154] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
