Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking, and more specifically, to a cooking control method, apparatus, storage medium, and food processor in the field of cooking. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, more and more food processors are appearing in people's lives. High-speed blenders, as a type of food processor, provide people with many delicious and nutritious drinks. To prevent the water-to-material mixture inside the high-speed blender from overflowing during the beverage making process, an airflow device is connected to the original blender's cup assembly. This not only prevents the water-to-material mixture from overflowing during cooking but also increases the heating power to shorten the heating time. However, when the airflow device is improperly connected to the cup assembly, the heating power cannot be adjusted in time, leading to severe overflow of the water-to-material mixture, which may damage the high-speed blender or even cause a safety accident.

[0068] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.
[0069] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0070] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This application provides a food processor 1, which includes a cup body assembly 2, a main unit 3, and a cup lid assembly 4.
[0072] The cup assembly 2 includes a cup body 20, a heating device 21, and a stirring device 22. A lid assembly 4 covers the cup body 20 and cooperates with it to form a receiving cavity 2A. The cup body 20 is used to hold food, and the heating device 21 is used to heat the food in the receiving cavity 2A. The heating method of the heating device 21 can be at least one of resistance heating, infrared heating, and electromagnetic heating. In other embodiments, the heating device 21 can also employ other heating methods. In this application embodiment, the specific heating method of the heating device 21 is not limited. It is understood that the installation position of the heating device 21 can be at least one of the bottom of the cup body 20 and the periphery of the cup body 20. In this application embodiment, the installation position of the heating device 21 is not limited.
[0073] The mixing device 22 is used to mix or pulverize the ingredients in the receiving cavity 2A to suit the user's eating needs. It is understood that the mixing device 22 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the receiving cavity 2A, allowing the user to choose whether to place the mixing device 22 in the food processor 1 according to the actual food being prepared. Furthermore, the food processor 1 can be equipped with multiple mixing devices 22, thereby allowing the user to conveniently select different mixing devices 22 according to different ingredients to prepare different foods. It is understood that the mixing device 22 includes at least one mixing blade; exemplaryly, the mixing device 22 may include two, three, or four mixing blades for mixing or pulverizing the ingredients in the receiving cavity 2A.
[0074] The main unit 3 is connected to and electrically connected to the cup assembly 2. The main unit 3 can be connected to a power source to supply power to the cup assembly 2. The main unit 3 includes a motor (not shown in the figure) and a controller (not shown in the figure). The motor is connected to the controller, and the output shaft of the motor can be connected to the mixing device 22 to drive the mixing device 22 to rotate, thereby stirring or crushing the food in the receiving cavity 2A. The controller can be connected to the heating device 21 to control the start and stop of the heating device 21 and the heating power to adapt to the food preparation process.
[0075] Understandably, the main unit 3 can be detachably connected to the bottom of the cup assembly 2. Compared to a non-detachable design, this allows the cup assembly 2 to be removed from the main unit 3 for cleaning, preventing water from entering the main unit 3 and reducing the probability of damage. This extends the lifespan of the main unit 3, and consequently, the lifespan of the food processor 1. Furthermore, detaching the cup assembly 2 for cleaning separately, compared to cleaning the main unit 3 and cup assembly 2 together, reduces the weight for the user, improving the convenience of cleaning the cup assembly 2.
[0076] Understandably, since the main unit 3 can be detachably connected to the cup body component 2, if either the main unit 3 or the cup body component 2 is damaged, either the main unit 3 or the cup body component 2 can be replaced or repaired separately, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and reducing the user's maintenance costs.
[0077] The lid assembly 4 can be placed over the opening 2B of the cup body 20 to seal the opening 2B and prevent food from splashing out of the receiving cavity 2A through the opening 2B. This can prevent food waste and reduce the probability of food contaminating the outer surface of the food processor 1 or the countertop where the food processor 1 is placed, thereby improving the user's cleaning convenience and user experience.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one specific embodiment, the cup lid assembly 4 includes a cup lid 41 and an airflow device 42. The cup lid 41 is provided with an air inlet 411A; the airflow device 42 is detachably connected to the cup lid 41 and has an air outlet 4211D (see reference). Figure 9The air outlet 4211D is connected to the air inlet 411A. The airflow device 42 can sequentially blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A through the air outlet 4211D and the air inlet 411A to break the bubbles generated when the food in the receiving cavity 2A boils and rolls, thereby preventing bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B. It should be noted that the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 are detachably connected. Here, "detachable" specifically means that the user can directly remove the airflow device 42 from the cup lid 41 by hand without the aid of tools, and neither the airflow device 42 nor the cup lid 41 will suffer structural damage or need to break their original structural form during the removal and separation process. Specifically, the detachable connection method between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 includes at least one of screw connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, and flexible abutment. In this embodiment of the application, there is no specific limitation on the detachable connection method between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0079] In this embodiment, since the airflow device 42 is detachably connected to the cup lid 41, when the cup lid 41 needs to be cleaned, the airflow device 42 can be removed from the cup lid 41 for cleaning. This prevents liquid from entering the airflow device 42 during the cleaning process, reducing the probability of damage to the airflow device 42 and thus allowing the airflow device 42 to have a longer service life, which in turn allows the food processor 1 to have a longer service life.
[0080] Furthermore, since the airflow device 42 is detachably connected to the cup lid 41, if the airflow device 42 or the cup lid 41 is damaged, the airflow device 42 or the cup lid 41 can be replaced or repaired separately without replacing the entire cup lid assembly 4, which can reduce the user's maintenance costs.
[0081] It is understood that the airflow device 42 can be installed on the side of the cup lid 41 away from the cup body assembly 2; the airflow device 42 can also be installed on the side of the cup lid 41. In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the installation position of the airflow device 42 on the cup lid 41.
[0082] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the airflow device 42 is at least partially exposed outside the cup lid 41 so that force can be applied to the airflow device 42 to separate the airflow device 42 from the cup lid 41, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the airflow device 42.
[0083] It is understood that the airflow device 42 may be partially exposed on the upper surface of the cup lid 41; the airflow device 42 may also be at least partially exposed on the side of the cup lid 41. In this embodiment, the exposed position of the airflow device 42 on the cup lid 41 is not limited.
[0084] It is understandable that the airflow device 42 can also be flush with the outer surface of the cup lid 41. A groove (not shown in the figure) is formed between the outer wall of the housing 421 and the cup lid 41. The user can use the groove to increase the contact area with the housing, thereby making it easier to remove the airflow device 42 from the cup lid 41 and improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the airflow device 42.
[0085] Please refer to Figure 4-7 The outer surface of the cup lid 41 is recessed to form a mounting groove 411B. The airflow device 42 is at least partially embedded in the mounting groove 411B. The mounting groove 411B can increase the contact area between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, thereby improving the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41. This allows the airflow device 42 to blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A, thereby preventing bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B. Furthermore, the mounting groove 411B provides a positioning effect for the installation of the airflow device 42, making the installation process more convenient.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5-8 In one detachable connection embodiment, a snap-fit structure 43 is provided between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, which facilitates the detachable connection between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 and ensures a stable connection between them, allowing the airflow device 42 to stably blow air into the receiving cavity 2A. Furthermore, when the cup lid 41 needs cleaning, the snap-fit structure 43 can be disconnected to detach the airflow device 42 from the cup lid 41, allowing the cup lid 41 to be cleaned separately. This prevents liquid from entering the airflow device 42, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the airflow device 42 and extending the service life of the food processor 1.
[0087] It is understood that the snap-fit structure 43 can be disposed on the side of the cup lid 41 opposite to the cup body assembly 2, so as to install the airflow device 42 on the side of the cup lid 41 opposite to the cup body assembly 2; the snap-fit structure 43 can also be disposed on the side of the cup lid 41, so as to install the airflow device 42 on the side of the cup lid 41. In the embodiments of this application, there are no restrictions on the specific location and specific form of the snap-fit structure 43.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 5-9 In another specific embodiment, the snap-fit structure 43 can be disposed between the side wall of the mounting groove 411B and the airflow device 42, so that when the cup lid 41 and the airflow device 42 have a large contact area, the snap-fit structure 43 can further improve the connection stability between the cup lid 41 and the airflow device 42, thereby reducing the probability of the airflow device 42 detaching from the cup lid 41, and thus ensuring that the airflow device 42 can blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A to prevent bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B.
[0089] Please refer to Figure 5-10 Specifically, the airflow device 42 includes a housing 421 and a fan 422. The housing 421 is detachably connected to the cup lid 41 and has an air outlet 4211D. The fan 422 is mounted on the housing 421 and provides airflow to the air inlet 411A via the air outlet 4211D. A snap-fit structure 43 can be disposed between the housing 421 and the side wall of the mounting groove 411B.
[0090] Please refer to Figure 9 In one specific embodiment, the snap-fit structure 43 includes a first snap-fit member 431, which is movably connected to the housing 421 and has a first snap-fit portion 4312; a second snap-fit portion 432 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 411B, and the second snap-fit portion 432 snaps into the first snap-fit portion 4312. It is understood that the first snap-fit portion 4312 can be an insert, and the second snap-fit portion 432 can be a slot; of course, the first snap-fit portion 4312 can also be a slot, and the second snap-fit portion 432 can also be an insert. In other embodiments, the first snap-fit portion 4312 and the second snap-fit portion 432 can also be in other forms. In the embodiments of this application, the specific forms of the first snap-fit portion 4312 and the second snap-fit portion 432 are not limited. In the embodiments of this application, the first snap-fit portion 4312 as an insert and the second snap-fit portion 432 as a slot will be used as an example for explanation and description.
[0091] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7-9 Furthermore, the housing 421 has a through groove 4211A and a sliding groove 4211B. The first snap-fit member 431 includes an actuating part 4311 and a first snap-fit part 4312 connected to the actuating part 4311. The actuating part is slidably disposed in the through groove 4211A, and the first snap-fit part 4312 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 4211B.
[0092] When the airflow device 42 needs to be installed, the drive actuator 4311 moves along the through groove 4211A into the housing 421, thereby driving the first locking part 4312 to move along the slide groove 4211B into the housing 421. The housing 421 is moved until it is embedded in the mounting groove 411B. The drive actuator 4311 moves along the through groove 4211A outward from the housing 421, thereby driving the first locking part 4312 to move along the slide groove 4211B towards the second locking part 432, until the first locking part 4312 and the second locking part 432 engage, thereby installing the airflow device 42 in the mounting groove 411B. This can improve the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0093] When it is necessary to disassemble the airflow device 42, the actuator 4311 is driven to move along the through groove 4211A into the housing 421, and the first locking part 4312 is driven to move along the slide groove 4211B away from the second locking part 432 until the first locking part 4312 disengages from the second locking part 432, and the housing 421 moves away from the cup lid 41, so that the airflow device 42 is disengaged from the cup lid 41, thereby facilitating the separate cleaning of the cup lid 41, reducing the probability of liquid entering the airflow device 42, and thus giving the airflow device 42 a longer service life, which in turn gives the food processor 1 a longer service life.
[0094] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7-9 Furthermore, the snap-fit structure 43 also includes a limiting member 434 and a second elastic member 435. The limiting member 434 is disposed inside the housing 421; the second elastic member 435 is disposed inside the housing 421, and the two ends of the second elastic member 435 abut against the limiting member 434 and the actuating part 4311, respectively.
[0095] When installing the airflow device 42, press the actuating part 4311 so that the actuating part 4311 drives the first locking part 4312 to move into the housing 421, and causes the second elastic member 435 to undergo elastic deformation, so that the second elastic member 435 has elastic potential energy to engage the first locking part 4312 and the second locking part 432. Move the housing 421 until the housing 421 is embedded in the mounting groove 411B, release the actuating part 4311, and the second elastic member 435 pushes the first locking part 4312 and the second locking part 432 to engage, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the airflow device 42.
[0096] It is understood that the second elastic element 435 can be at least one of a spring, an elastic metal sheet, and an elastic rubber strip. In other embodiments, the second elastic element 435 can also be in other forms. In the embodiments of this application, the specific form of the second elastic element 435 is not limited.
[0097] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7-9 Furthermore, the first engaging portion 4312 has an inclined surface 4312A. When installing the airflow device 42, the housing 421 is moved until the inclined surface 4312A abuts against the opening of the mounting groove 411B. The housing 421 is then moved further into the mounting groove 411B, causing the first engaging portion 4312 to move away from the second engaging portion 432. This causes the second elastic member 435 to undergo elastic deformation. Subsequently, the second elastic member 435 can push the first engaging portion 4312 to engage with the second engaging portion 432, thereby further improving the installation efficiency of the airflow device 42.
[0098] It is understandable that the first snap-fit part 4312 may also have an arc surface, which can abut against the groove of the mounting groove 411B, and can also improve the installation efficiency of the airflow device 42.
[0099] It is understood that the inclined surface 4312A and the arc surface can also be provided in the groove of the mounting slot 411B, which can also push the first snap-fit part 4312 to move away from the second snap-fit part 432, and can also improve the installation efficiency of the airflow device 42. Further details are not provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one specific embodiment, the snap-fit structure 43 further includes a second snap-fit member 436 and a third snap-fit member 437. The second snap-fit member 436 is disposed on the periphery of the housing 421 and is spaced apart from the actuating part 4311 and the first snap-fit part 4312. The third snap-fit member 437 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 411B and is spaced apart from the second snap-fit part 432. The third snap-fit member 437 can snap-fit with the second snap-fit member 436, thereby further improving the connection stability between the cup lid 41 and the airflow device 42.
[0101] It is understood that the second card connector 436 can be disposed on the opposite side of the first card connector 4312, or on one side of the first card connector 4312. In this embodiment, the specific location of the second card connector 436 within the housing 421 is not limited.
[0102] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 In another detachable connection embodiment, a magnetic attraction structure 44 is provided between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, which facilitates the disassembly of the airflow device 42 and improves the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, so that the airflow device 42 can blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A, thereby preventing bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B.
[0103] It is understood that the magnetic structure 44 can be disposed on the side of the cup lid 41 away from the cup body assembly 2 to mount the airflow device 42 on the side of the cup lid 41 away from the cup body assembly 2. Exemplarily, the airflow device 42 can be magnetically mounted on the surface of the cup lid 41 away from the cup body assembly 2. It is also understood that the magnetic structure 44 can be disposed on the side of the cup lid 41 to mount the airflow device 42 on the side of the cup lid 41. In this embodiment, the position of the magnetic structure 44 is not specifically limited.
[0104] Please refer to Figure 10 In one specific embodiment, the magnetic attraction structure 44 is disposed between the groove wall of the mounting groove 411B and the housing 421.
[0105] Please refer to Figure 9 Specifically, the magnetic structure 44 includes a first magnetic element 441 and a second magnetic element 442. The first magnetic element 441 is disposed on the housing 421; the second magnetic element 442 is disposed on the groove wall of the mounting groove 411B and can be magnetically connected with the first magnetic element 441, thereby attracting the airflow device 42 to the mounting groove 411B to improve the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0106] For example, the first magnetic element 441 can be disposed at the bottom of the housing 421, and the second magnetic element can be disposed at the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B. It is understood that the first magnetic element 441 can also be disposed on the side of the housing 421, and the second magnetic element can be disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 411B. It is understood that at least one of the first magnetic element 441 and the second magnetic element 442 is a magnet. For example, at least one of the first magnetic element 441 and the second magnetic element 442 is a permanent magnet.
[0107] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 Furthermore, in addition to the magnetic attraction structure 44 between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, a second snap-fit member 436 is also provided on the periphery of the housing 421, and is spaced apart from the first magnetic member 441; a third snap-fit member 437 is also provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 411B, and is spaced apart from the second magnetic member 442. The third snap-fit member 437 can snap into the second snap-fit member 436, which can further improve the stability of the magnetic attraction connection between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41, reduce the probability of the airflow device 42 detaching from the cup lid 41, and thus ensure that the airflow device 42 can blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A to prevent bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B.
[0108] It is understandable that when the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 are detachably connected as described above, the upper surface of the cup lid 41 is provided with a mounting groove 411B. It should be noted that when the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 are magnetically connected, the cup lid 41 may not be provided with a mounting groove 411B. For example, the cup lid 41 can fix the airflow device 42 to the outer surface of the cup lid 41 through a magnetic attraction structure 44. In this case, the cup lid 41 can also be provided with a positioning structure such as a column to assist in positioning the airflow device 42.
[0109] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11In another detachable connection embodiment, a flexible abutment structure 45 is provided between the housing 421 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 411B, so that after the housing 421 is installed in the mounting groove 411B, the flexible abutment structure 45 deforms to increase the contact area between the housing 421 and the mounting groove 411B, and to form an interference fit between the housing 421 and the cup lid 41, thereby improving the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0110] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 In one specific embodiment, the flexible abutment structure 45 includes a first flexible abutment member 451, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the housing 421 for abutting against the sidewall of the mounting groove 411B. Exemplarily, the first flexible abutment member 451 can be a rubber ring. It is understood that the first flexible abutment member 451 can be annular. It is also understood that the first flexible abutment member 451 can include a plurality of first flexible abutment portions, with adjacent first flexible abutment portions spaced apart, and the plurality of first flexible abutment portions circumferentially disposed on the outer periphery of the housing 421.
[0111] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 In another specific embodiment, the flexible abutment structure 45 includes a second flexible abutment member (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the sidewall of the mounting groove 411B for abutting against the outer periphery of the housing 421. Exemplarily, the second flexible abutment member can be a rubber ring. It is understood that the second flexible abutment member can be annular. It is understood that the second flexible abutment member can include multiple second flexible abutment portions, with adjacent second flexible abutment portions spaced apart, and the multiple second flexible abutment portions circumferentially disposed around the outer periphery of the housing 421.
[0112] In another specific embodiment, a first flexible abutment 451 is provided on the outer periphery of the housing 421, and a second flexible abutment is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 411B. After the housing 421 is installed in the mounting groove 411B, the first flexible abutment 451 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 411B, and the second flexible abutment abuts against the outer periphery of the housing 421. This can increase the contact area between the housing 421 and the mounting groove 411B, and make the housing 421 and the cup lid 41 form an interference fit, thereby improving the connection stability between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0113] The above description exemplifies several specific detachable connection implementations between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41. It is understood that, besides the methods described in the above embodiments, other forms of detachable connection between the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 can also be used, such as the insertion and mating of pins and holes. This application does not limit this. In other embodiments, the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41 can also be connected in a non-detachable manner. For example, the housing 421 can be bonded and welded to the cup lid 41; alternatively, the housing 421 can be integrally formed with the cup lid 41. For example, both the housing 421 and the cup lid 41 can be made of plastic, and they can be integrally formed using a two-color injection molding process. The airflow device 42 can be modularly assembled before the cup lid 41 is formed, thereby improving the production efficiency of the cup lid assembly 4.
[0114] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 12-14 It is understandable that fan 422 can pass through duct 423A (please refer to...) Figure 13 The fan 422 is connected to the air inlet 4211D so that it can blow air into the receiving cavity 2A to prevent air bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B. For example, the fan 422 can be connected to the air inlet 4211D via a pipe, or the fan 422 can be connected to the air inlet 411A via a pipe through the air inlet 4211D, so that it can blow air into the receiving cavity 2A.
[0115] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 12 In one specific embodiment, the housing 421 forms a receiving cavity 4211C, and the housing 421 also has an air intake 4211E. A fan 422 is located within the receiving cavity 4211C. The fan 422 drives airflow to be drawn into the receiving cavity 4211C through the air intake 4211E and blown out through the air outlet 4211D. The housing 421 provides all-around protection for the fan 422, reducing the probability of damage to the fan 422 and thus extending its service life, consequently extending the service life of the airflow device 42. It should be noted that the fan 422 can be a centrifugal fan, an axial fan, or other similar type; this application does not limit its application to this type.
[0116] It is understood that when the airflow device 42 is installed on the top of the cover 411, the air outlet 4211D is located on the bottom surface of the housing 421 facing the cup lid 41, and the air inlet 411A is located on the top surface of the cup lid 41. When the airflow device 42 is installed on the side of the cover 411, the air outlet 4211D is located on the side of the housing 421, and the air inlet 411A is located on the side of the cup lid 41. In this embodiment, the air intake 4211E is located on the side of the housing 421, the air outlet 4211D is located on the bottom surface of the housing 421 facing the cup lid 41, and the air inlet 411A is located on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B.
[0117] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In one specific embodiment, the housing 421 includes an outer shell 4211 and a fan shroud 423. A receiving cavity 4211C is formed within the outer shell 4211, and the fan shroud 423 is disposed within the receiving cavity 4211C. The fan shroud 423 and the inner wall of the outer shell 4211 cooperate to form an air duct 423A, which connects the air outlet side of the fan 422 to the air outlet 4211D. The fan 422 can draw air in through the air inlet 4211E and blow airflow into the receiving cavity 2A through the air duct 423A and the air outlet 4211D. It is understood that the fan shroud 423 can also form the air duct 423A independently. The materials of the outer shell 4211 and the fan shroud 423 can be metal or plastic. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made on the materials of the outer shell 4211 and the fan shroud 423.
[0118] As exemplarily shown in the accompanying drawings of this application, the fan 422 is a centrifugal fan. By combining the centrifugal fan with the fan shroud 423, the axial direction of the fan 422 can be set to the up-down direction. The airflow blown by the fan 422 is turned downward by the fan shroud 423 so as to blow towards the air outlet 4211D. It can be understood that the axial direction of the centrifugal fan is its thickness direction, and the size of the centrifugal fan in its thickness direction is relatively small. This helps to reduce the thickness of the entire airflow device 42, so that after the airflow device 42 is installed, its center of gravity will not be too high. This also helps to improve the stability of its operation after it is installed on the cup lid 41.
[0119] During operation, the food processor 1 typically first grinds and pulverizes the ingredients in the receiving cavity 2A, and then heats the pulverized ingredients. Since the air outlet 4211D is connected to the air inlet 411A, there is a possibility that ingredients may splash and enter the air outlet 4211D and the air duct 423A from the air inlet 411A during the food processor 1's grinding process. Therefore, the airflow device 42 of this application can further include a valve body structure, which is installed on the outer casing 4211 and used to block or open the air outlet 4211D. In this way, by setting the valve body structure, the food processor 1 can block the air outlet 4211D during the grinding process and open the air outlet 4211D during the heating process. This satisfies the spill prevention requirement and also effectively avoids the possibility of ingredients splashing into the air duct 423A, thereby further improving the operational stability and service life of the airflow device 42.
[0120] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 12 In one specific embodiment, the shroud 423 also has a clearance hole 423B. The valve body structure includes a first seal 424 and a drive member 425. The first seal 424 is disposed inside the housing 4211. The drive member 425 is connected to the housing 4211. The output shaft of the drive member 425 passes through the clearance hole 423B and is connected to the first seal 424 to drive the first seal 424 to move, so as to block or open the air outlet 4211D.
[0121] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 12 Specifically, when air needs to be blown into the receiving cavity 2A, the driving member 425 drives the first sealing member 424 to move away from the air blowing port 4211D to open the air blowing port 4211D, thereby facilitating the airflow to enter the receiving cavity 2A through the air blowing port 4211D. When air is not needed to be blown into the receiving cavity 2A, the drive member 425 drives the first seal member 424 to move towards the air outlet 4211D until the first seal member 424 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 4211C and covers the air outlet 4211D, thereby sealing the air outlet 4211D. This prevents food or liquid from entering the receiving cavity 4211C through the air outlet 4211D during the stirring or crushing process of the cup assembly 2. It also prevents water vapor generated during the heating process from entering the receiving cavity 4211C through the air outlet 4211D, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the fan 422 and the drive member 425. This allows the fan 422 and the drive member 425 to have a longer service life, which in turn allows the food processor 1 to have a longer service life.
[0122] For example, the first seal 424 can be made of a flexible material, such as rubber, polyurethane, or polytetrafluoroethylene, so that the first seal 424 can undergo elastic deformation when it abuts against the receiving cavity 4211C, thereby sealing the air outlet 4211D. In other embodiments, the first seal 424 can also be made of other materials. Further details are not provided in this embodiment. The drive element 425 can be a linear motor or an electric actuator; the specific form of the drive element 425 is not limited in this embodiment.
[0123] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In one specific embodiment, the driving component 425 may include an electromagnetic coil 4251 and an electromagnet shaft 4252. The electromagnetic coil 4251 is disposed on the side of the shroud 423 away from the air outlet 4211D. The electromagnet shaft 4252 passes through the electromagnetic coil 4251 and is able to move axially relative to the electromagnetic coil 4251. One end of the electromagnet shaft 4252 passes through the clearance hole 423B and is connected to the first seal 424. The airflow device 42 also includes a first elastic element 426, which is connected to the first seal 424.
[0124] Please refer to Figure 14 Specifically, when air needs to be blown into the receiving cavity 2A, the electromagnetic coil 4251 is energized, causing the electromagnet shaft 4252 to move away from the air outlet 4211D relative to the electromagnetic coil 4251. This causes the first sealing member 424 to move away from the air outlet 4211D, and causes the first elastic member 426 to undergo elastic deformation. This gives the first elastic member 426 the elastic potential energy to drive the first sealing member 424 to move closer to the air outlet 4211D, thereby opening the air outlet 4211D.
[0125] Please refer to Figure 13 When it is not necessary to blow air into the receiving cavity 2A, the electromagnetic coil 4251 is de-energized, and the first elastic member 426 pushes the first sealing member 424 to move towards the air outlet 4211D until the first sealing member 424 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 4211C and covers the air outlet 4211D, thereby sealing the air outlet 4211D.
[0126] It is understood that in other embodiments, when it is not necessary to blow air into the receiving cavity 2A, the electromagnetic coil 4251 is energized, so that the electromagnet shaft 4252 moves relative to the electromagnetic coil 4251 towards the air outlet 4211D, thereby driving the first sealing member 424 towards the air outlet 4211D and causing the first elastic member 426 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby blocking the air outlet 4211D; when it is necessary to blow air into the receiving cavity 2A, the electromagnetic coil 4251 is de-energized, and the first elastic member 426 causes the first sealing member 424 to move away from the air outlet 4211D, so as to open the air outlet 4211D.
[0127] It is understood that the first elastic element 426 can be at least one of a spring, an elastic metal sheet, and an elastic rubber strip. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 426 is a spring. The first elastic element 426 is sleeved around the periphery of the electromagnet shaft 4252, which can reduce the radial deformation of the first elastic element 426 to ensure that the first elastic element 426 can push the first seal 424 to move and block the air outlet 4211D. One end of the first elastic element 426 is connected to the first seal 424 and can also be connected to the end platform of the electromagnet shaft 4252. The other end can be connected to the bracket of the electromagnetic coil 4251 and can also be connected to the outer casing 4211.
[0128] The valve body structure illustrated above is in the form of a solenoid valve, and the drive unit 425 is located on the side of the fan shroud 423 facing away from the air outlet 4211D, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of food splashing onto the drive unit 425. This arrangement can improve the operational stability of the drive unit 425. It should be noted that the above description refers to an electrically driven valve body structure, but the valve body structure in the airflow device 42 of this application can also be manually driven. For example, the valve body structure includes a valve, and the valve can be manually operated to block or open the air outlet 4211D. This application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0129] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The airflow device 42 also includes a filter 427, which is connected to the housing 421 and located at the air intake 4211E. The filter 427 prevents impurities from entering the receiving cavity 4211C via the air intake 4211E, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the fan 422 and the drive component 425, thus extending the service life of the fan 422 and the drive component 425, and consequently extending the service life of the food processor 1.
[0130] It is understood that the filter screen 427 can be detachably connected to the housing 421 to facilitate the replacement of the filter screen 427, thereby enabling the filter screen 427 to filter impurities. In the embodiments of this application, the connection method between the filter screen 427 and the housing 421 includes, but is not limited to, screw connection and snap connection.
[0131] Furthermore, if the filter 427 and the housing 421 are detachably connected, this application may provide a slot (not shown in the figure) on the housing 4211. The slot is provided at the position of the air intake 4211E, and the filter 427 can be slidably inserted into the slot. This makes it convenient to remove the filter 427 from the slot for cleaning after long-term use.
[0132] Please refer to Figure 12 The outer shell 4211 includes a first shell portion 4212 and a second shell portion 4213 connected to the first shell portion 4212. The fan 422, the fan cover 423 and the drive component 425 are all sandwiched between the first shell portion 4212 and the second shell portion 4213, which can improve the connection stability between the fan 422, the fan cover 423 and the drive component 425 and the outer shell 4211.
[0133] Specifically, the outer casing 4211 also includes a first connecting portion 4214 and a second connecting portion 4215. The first connecting portion 4214 is connected to the first casing portion 4212, and the second connecting portion 4215 is connected to the second casing portion 4213. Both the first connecting portion 4214 and the second connecting portion 4215 are connected to the fan 422, the fan shroud 423, and the drive component 425. For example, one of the first connecting portion 4214 and the second connecting portion 4215 can be a positioning post, and the other of the first connecting portion 4214 and the second connecting portion 4215 can be an abutment block. The positioning post can pass through the positioning hole to facilitate the positioning of the fan 422, the fan shroud 423, and the drive component 425. The abutment block can abut against the surfaces of the fan 422, the fan shroud 423, and the drive component 425 to clamp the fan 422, the fan shroud 423, and the drive component 425. In other embodiments, the first connecting part 4214 and the second connecting part 4215 can also be abutting blocks, which can also clamp the fan 422, the shroud 423 and the drive member 425 to improve the connection stability between the fan 422, the shroud 423 and the drive member 425 and the housing 4211.
[0134] It is understandable that the first housing part 4212 can be detachably connected to the second housing part 4213 so that the receiving cavity 4211C can be opened easily when the fan 422, the fan cover 423 and the drive component 425 are damaged, thereby improving the efficiency of maintenance and replacement of the fan 422, the fan cover 423 and the drive component 425 and reducing maintenance costs.
[0135] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8The housing 421 includes a first region 421A, a receiving cavity 4211C, an air duct 423A, a fan 422, a fan cover 423, and a drive component 425, all of which are disposed in the first region 421A. Along the thickness direction of the housing 421, the orthographic projection of the first region 421A is elliptical, which can save external space while satisfying the internal structural settings, thereby improving the aesthetics of the airflow device 42 and making the airflow device 42 compact, so as to facilitate the assembly of the airflow device 42 and the cup lid 41.
[0136] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 It is understandable that, since the electromagnet shaft 4252 drives the first seal 424 to move, a large space needs to be formed within the receiving cavity 4211C to allow the electromagnet shaft 4252 to move. Based on this, the first housing portion 4212 also has a protrusion 42121 extending away from the second housing portion 4213. The protrusion 42121 has a clearance cavity 42121A, which communicates with the receiving cavity 4211C. The electromagnet shaft 4252 is at least partially disposed within the clearance cavity 42121A. When the electromagnetic coil 4251 is energized, causing the electromagnet shaft 4252 to move away from the air outlet 4211D relative to the electromagnetic coil 4251, the electromagnet shaft 4252 can move into the clearance cavity 42121A. This results in a thinner thickness in other parts of the housing 421, making the internal structure of the housing 421 more compact, thereby reducing the volume of the housing 421 and minimizing its space occupation.
[0137] Immediately, the first shell portion 4212 also has a deformation groove 4212A provided at the root of the protrusion 42121 to eliminate stress concentration at the root of the protrusion 42121, thereby reducing the probability of cracks in the first shell portion 4212 and thus enabling the airflow device 42 to have a longer service life.
[0138] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The airflow device 42 also includes a first electrical connector 428, which is electrically connected to the fan 422 and the drive unit 425. The first electrical connector 428 is connected to the housing 421 and exposed. The cup assembly 2 has a second electrical connector 23, which can be connected to the main unit 3. The first electrical connector 428 can be electrically connected to the second electrical connector 23 to supply power to the fan 422 and the drive unit 425.
[0139] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 12Specifically, the housing 421 also includes a second region 421B, which includes an upper cover 4216 and a lower cover 4217 connected to the upper cover 4216. The upper cover 4216 and the lower cover 4217 surround a receiving space (not shown in the figure). The receiving space is spaced apart from the receiving cavity 4211C. The lower cover 4217 has a through hole 4217B communicating with the receiving space. The first electrical connector 428 is disposed in the receiving space and exposed through the through hole 4217B to facilitate electrical connection with the second electrical connector 23.
[0140] Understandably, the second area 421B is also easy for the user to hold, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the airflow device 42; and because the second area 421B is easy for the user to hold, when it is necessary to clean the housing 421, the user can hold the second area 421B to clean it, which can prevent liquid from wetting the first electrical connector 428, thereby reducing the probability of short circuit of the first electrical connector 428, so that the first electrical connector 428 can have a longer service life, and thus the food processor 1 can have a longer service life.
[0141] It is understood that the airflow device 42 may also include an energy storage battery, which is installed in the housing 421 and electrically connected to the fan 422 and the drive unit 425 to supply power to the fan 422 and the drive unit 425.
[0142] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 14 The cup lid 41 includes a lid body 411 and an extension 412. The lid body 411 is detachably connected to the housing 421. The extension 412 is connected to the lid body 411 and extends from the lid body 411 toward the cup assembly 2. The extension 412 has a clearance groove 412A, through which the first electrical connector 428 is exposed. By abutting against the handle of the cup assembly 2, the extension 412 can provide support for the cup lid 41, reducing the probability of damage to the first electrical connector 428 and the second electrical connector 23, thereby allowing the food processor 1 to have a longer service life.
[0143] Please refer to Figure 5 Specifically, the extension 412 includes a first side 4121, a second side 4122, a third side 4123, and a bottom 4124. The third side 4123 is located between the first side 4121 and the second side 4122. The first side 4121, the second side 4122, the third side 4123, and the bottom 4124 are surrounded by a connecting groove 412B, which communicates with the clearance groove 412A. The first electrical connector 428 is disposed in the connecting groove 412B and exposed through the clearance groove 412A.
[0144] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the second side 4122 has a receiving groove 4122A on the side opposite to the first side 4121. The clearance groove is connected to the receiving groove 4122A. The portion of the first electrical connector 428 exposed in the clearance groove is located in the receiving groove 4122A. This reduces the probability of collision with the first electrical connector 428 during the installation, handling, and cleaning of the cup lid assembly 4, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the first electrical connector 428 and enabling the first electrical connector 428 to have a longer service life, which in turn enables the food processor 1 to have a longer service life.
[0145] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Correspondingly, a protrusion 24 is provided on the side of the cup body 20 facing the cup lid assembly 4. The second electrical connector 23 is provided on the protrusion 24. The shape of the protrusion 24 is adapted to the shape of the relief groove. When the protrusion 24 is embedded in the receiving groove 4122A, the first electrical connector 428 and the second electrical connector 23 are electrically connected. The surface of the protrusion 24 facing away from the first side 4121 is coplanar with the surface where the groove of the receiving groove 4122A is located, so that the cup lid 41 and the cup body 20 can form a whole, thereby improving the aesthetics of the food processor 1.
[0146] For example, the surface shared by the surface of the protrusion 24 away from the first side portion 4121 and the surface where the groove of the receiving groove 4122A is located can be a plane or a curved surface. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.
[0147] Please refer to Figure 2 For example, the first electrical connector 428 can be connected to the second electrical connector 23 along the vertical direction X, or the first electrical connector 428 can be connected to the second electrical connector 23 along the circumferential direction Y of the cup body 20. In this embodiment, the connection direction between the first electrical connector 428 and the second electrical connector 23 is not specifically limited.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the cup lid 41 further includes a second sealing member 413. The second sealing member 413 is connected to the lid body 411 and is disposed at the air inlet 411A. After the airflow device 42 is installed into the mounting groove 411B, the second sealing member 413 can abut against the outer shell 4211 and deform to block the area between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B and the outer shell 4211 on the periphery of the air inlet 411A, so as to prevent water vapor from entering the gap between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B and the outer shell 4211, thereby reducing the probability of liquid entering the airflow device 42 through the air outlet 4211D, so that the airflow device 42 can have a longer service life, and thus the food processor 1 can have a longer service life.
[0149] Furthermore, the second seal 413 prevents water vapor from entering the gap between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B and the outer shell 4211, thereby preventing water vapor from condensing between them. This keeps the groove wall of the mounting groove 411B and the outer periphery of the outer shell 4211 dry, reducing the probability of bacterial growth and providing reliable protection for the user's health. It also eliminates the need for the user to clean the mounting groove 411B, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning the cup lid 41.
[0150] For example, the material of the second seal 413 can be a flexible material, such as rubber, polyurethane, and polytetrafluoroethylene, so that the second seal 413 can undergo elastic deformation when it comes into contact with the housing 4211 to fill the gap between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B and the housing 4211, and prevent water vapor from entering the gap between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 411B and the housing 4211.
[0151] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 13 In one specific embodiment, the lid 411 is further provided with an exhaust port 411C, a flow channel 411D, and an air outlet 411E. The flow channel 411D connects the exhaust port 411C and the air outlet 411E. The exhaust port 411C is located on the side of the lid 41 away from the housing 421, and the air outlet 411E is located on the side of the lid 41 facing the housing 421. The exhaust port 411C, the flow channel 411D, and the air outlet 411E can guide the gas generated in the cup body 20 to be discharged, which can prevent the pressure in the receiving cavity 2A from being too high, thereby improving the safety of using the food processor 1.
[0152] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 13 Furthermore, since the food in the receiving cavity 2A is rotated during the stirring and crushing process of the stirring device 22, the liquid level at the center of the opening 2B near the cup body 20 is lower than the liquid level at the center of the opening 2B away from the cup body 20. Based on this, the exhaust port 411C is closer to the center of the opening 2B of the cup body 20 than the air outlet 411E, which can reduce the probability of food splashing from the exhaust port 411C to the guide channel 411D and the air outlet 411E, thereby reducing the cleaning difficulty of the guide channel 411D and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cup lid 41 for the user.
[0153] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 13In one specific embodiment, the cover 411 has a flow guide groove 411F and is detachably connected to the housing 421. The air inlet 411A, the exhaust port 411C, and the air outlet 411E are all provided on the cover 411. The flow guide groove 411F connects the exhaust port 411C and the air outlet 411E. The cup lid 41 also includes a cover plate 414, which is connected to the cover 411 and covers the opening of the flow guide groove 411F to form a flow guide channel 411D with the groove wall of the flow guide groove 411F. By removing the cover plate 414, the user can clean the flow guide channel 411D, thereby reducing the probability of bacterial growth in the flow guide channel 411D and providing reliable protection for the user's health.
[0154] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 13 In one specific embodiment, the heating device 21 has a hot end region 21A and a cold end region 21B. When the food in the receiving cavity 2A boils, it will roll from the hot end region 21A to the cold end region 21B of the heating device 21. The bubbles are also mainly concentrated near the top of the cold end region 21B of the heating device 21. The orthographic projection of the air outlet 4211D on the heating device 21 is located in the cold end region 21B to improve the bubble breaking efficiency of the airflow device 42, thereby preventing bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B.
[0155] For example, when the heating device 21 includes a resistance heating wire, the resistance heating wire can be arranged around the bottom of the cup body 20. The two ends of the resistance heating wire are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply. At this time, the area near the two ends of the resistance heating wire is the cold end area 21B, and the rest is the hot end area 21A.
[0156] Please refer to Figure 3-5 In one specific embodiment, the cup lid assembly 4 may further include a sealing ring 46, which is disposed around the periphery of the lid body 411. When the lid body 411 is placed over the opening 2B, the sealing ring 46 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2A, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the cup lid assembly 4 and the cup body 20 and preventing air bubbles or food from overflowing from the opening 2B. The sealing ring 46 may be made of a flexible material, such as rubber, polyurethane, or polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0157] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 15As shown, the cooking control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to scenarios where a food processor 1 is used to prepare a water-based mixture. The food processor 1 includes, but is not limited to, a blender and a soymilk maker. The food processor 1 includes a cup assembly 2, a main unit 3, and an airflow device 42. The airflow device 42 is electrically connected to the cup assembly 2, which includes a heating device 21. The airflow device 42 can prevent the water-based mixture from overflowing during the food processing process. However, if the connection between the airflow device 42 and the cup assembly 2 is abnormal, it may damage the food processor 1 or even cause a safety accident. The cooking control method provided in this application embodiment can detect the food processor 1 when it meets the detection conditions, determine the state of the airflow device 42, and determine the control program for the food processor 1 based on the state of the airflow device 42. Whether the state of the airflow device 42 is abnormal or normal, the beneficial effect of preventing the water-based mixture in the food processor from overflowing during the cooking process is ensured, while also preventing damage to the food processor and ensuring safety.
[0158] based on Figure 15 The scene diagram shown below will be combined with... Figures 16-22 The cooking control method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.
[0159] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S103.
[0160] S101, when the food processor meets the detection conditions, the airflow device is detected to determine the status of the airflow device. The detection conditions include the food processor being powered on, the food processor's cooking function being started, or the airflow device being turned on.
[0161] Specifically, when the food processor meets the detection conditions, the airflow device is detected to determine its status. The food processor includes an airflow device that prevents the water-food mixture from overflowing during cooking by blowing air into the food processor. The detection conditions set in this embodiment include the food processor being powered on, the food processor's cooking function being started, or the airflow device being turned on.
[0162] S102, If the airflow device is in an abnormal state, the food processor is controlled according to the conventional procedure corresponding to the detection conditions.
[0163] Specifically, the food processor also includes a heating element to provide heat for cooking the water-to-food mixture. To prevent the food processor from continuing to operate under control even when the airflow device is malfunctioning, potentially causing severe overflow of the water-to-food mixture, this application provides two control programs: a conventional program and a second program. The conventional program controls the food processor based on the detected malfunction, either a first program or a second program for the heating element. In other words, when the airflow device is malfunctioning, it is not used; instead, the conventional program controls the heating element. The conventional program can be selected before or after the first cooking stage of the food processor. The first program includes a first control program for the first cooking stage and a second control program for the second cooking stage. The second program includes a second control program for the second cooking stage. Depending on the cooking stage where the malfunction is detected, either the first or second program can be selected to control the airflow device.
[0164] In one feasible implementation, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, if the airflow device is in an abnormal state, the first control program becomes the first sub-control program, and the first cooking process of the food processor is controlled based on the first sub-control program.
[0165] S103, if the airflow device is in normal condition, the food processor is controlled based on the wind program corresponding to the detection conditions.
[0166] Specifically, the control program provided in this application embodiment also includes a fan program. If the airflow device is functioning normally, the food processor is controlled based on the fan program corresponding to the detection conditions. The fan program is either a third or fourth program for the heating device and the airflow device. That is, when the airflow device is functioning normally, it can be used to assist in cooking, and the heating device and the airflow device can be controlled using the fan program. The fan program can be selected before or after the first cooking stage of the food processor. The third program includes a first control program for the first cooking stage and a third control program for the second cooking stage. The fourth program includes a third control program for the second cooking stage. The third and fourth programs can be selected based on the detection conditions currently met by the food processor.
[0167] In one feasible implementation, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of being powered on or starting its cooking function, if the airflow device is in normal condition, the airflow program is the third program, and the food processor is controlled based on the third program.
[0168] It should be noted that the cooking control process of the food processor includes a first cooking stage and a second cooking stage. Before the first cooking stage, the food processor may meet the detection conditions for power-on and activation of the cooking function. After power-on and / or activation of the cooking function, the food processor may meet the detection conditions for activation of the airflow device. Since the airflow device may be required for the fan program in the second cooking stage, the food processor may meet the detection conditions for activation of the airflow device after the first cooking stage and before the start of the second cooking stage, and perform an airflow device detection. Because the airflow device is not required in the first cooking stage, both the first program and the third program are first control programs that only control the heating device during the first cooking stage.
[0169] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions, the airflow device of the food processor is detected to determine its state. Based on the state of the airflow device, a control program corresponding to different cooking stages of the food processor is determined. The control program can be adjusted in a timely manner when the airflow device is in an abnormal or normal state, achieving the beneficial effect of preventing the water-food mixture inside the food processor from overflowing during cooking. This improves the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control, prevents damage to the food processor, and ensures the effectiveness of its use.
[0170] Please see Figure 17 , Figure 17 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 17 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S201-S207.
[0171] S201, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function of the food processor, the installation status of the airflow device is detected to determine the installation status of the airflow device.
[0172] The food processor includes a heating element and an airflow element. The heating element heats the water-to-material mixture inside the food processor to cook it, while the airflow element prevents the mixture from overflowing by blowing air into the food processor. The cooking process of the food processor includes a first cooking stage and a second cooking stage.
[0173] Specifically, the detection condition for the airflow device's installation status can be that the food processor is powered on. When the food processor is detected to be powered on, it is determined that the food processor meets the power-on detection condition, and the airflow device's installation status is then detected to determine its installation status. Alternatively, the detection condition can be that the food processor's cooking function is activated. When a cooking execution command is detected, it is determined that the food processor meets the cooking function activation detection condition, and the airflow device's installation status is then detected to determine its installation status.
[0174] The airflow device in the food processor provided in this application embodiment is electrically connected to the cup assembly. Therefore, the installation status detection of the airflow device to determine the installation status of the airflow device may include: detecting whether the circuit between the cup assembly of the food processor and the airflow device is connected. If the circuit between the cup assembly of the food processor and the airflow device is connected, the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be normal. If the circuit between the cup assembly of the food processor and the airflow device is disconnected, the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be abnormal.
[0175] S202, If the installation status of the airflow device is abnormal, the standard procedure is the first procedure;
[0176] Specifically, if the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be abnormal, the airflow device is considered to be in abnormal condition. The food processor is controlled based on the normal program. When the normal program indicates that the airflow device is abnormal, only the first or second program of the heating device is applied. The first program includes the first control program of the first cooking stage and the second control program of the second cooking stage. The second program includes the second control program of the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the food processor is powered on or the cooking function of the food processor is started, and the detection conditions for the food processor being powered on and the cooking function of the food processor being started are before the first cooking stage, the normal program is determined to be the first program.
[0177] S203: When the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the working status of the airflow device is detected to determine the working status of the airflow device.
[0178] Specifically, this application also provides a working status detection method. When at least one of the installation status and working status of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device can be considered to be in an abnormal state. Therefore, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the working status of the airflow device can also be detected to determine its working status.
[0179] When testing the operating status of an airflow device, the device must be turned on to determine its operational status. This process includes: acquiring the device's operating parameters and determining whether these parameters fall within a preset range. If the parameters are within this range, the device is considered to be operating normally; otherwise, it is considered to be operating abnormally, and the device should be shut down. It should be noted that the airflow device includes components such as fans and electromagnetic coils. Operating parameters include, but are not limited to, the transmission current and power of the entire airflow device, or individual components such as fans or electromagnetic coils, as well as the fan speed. All operating parameters must be within the preset range for the airflow device to be considered operating normally; if at least one parameter is outside the preset range, the device is considered to be operating abnormally.
[0180] S204, If the airflow device is in an abnormal operating state, the normal procedure is the first procedure;
[0181] Specifically, if it is determined that the working state of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device is considered to be in an abnormal state. For the specific steps of determining the routine procedure as the first procedure, please refer to S202, which will not be repeated here.
[0182] In one feasible implementation, when an abnormality is detected in the airflow device, the food processor can output an abnormality prompt message to alert the user. Within a preset waiting time after the prompt message is output, the user can choose whether to perform maintenance or other repairs on the airflow device. If the food processor does not detect any action taken by the user on the airflow device within the preset waiting time, it will automatically select a normal program to control the food processor for cooking. The food processor also includes a display screen and an audio component. The abnormality prompt message can be a text message displayed on the screen, a voice prompt played through the audio component, or a combination of both.
[0183] S205, When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program;
[0184] Specifically, when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the first control program included in the first program. The food processor also includes a blending device, which is used to stir or pulverize the water-ingredient mixture to improve the texture of the final slurry. In addition, the heating device provided in this embodiment is located at the bottom of the food processor, and heating the water-ingredient mixture from the bottom can easily lead to uneven heating of the water-ingredient mixture during the heating process. Therefore, the blending device can be used to stir the water-ingredient mixture, so that the water-ingredient mixture can achieve heat conduction during the heating process, ensuring uniform heat of the water-ingredient mixture, improving temperature measurement accuracy, and preventing the water-ingredient mixture from sticking to the bottom during the heating process. The first control program includes first heating parameters for the heating device and first blending parameters for the blending device. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-ingredient mixture in the food processor according to the first heating parameters, and the blending device is controlled to stir the water-ingredient mixture according to the first blending parameters.
[0185] S206, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained, and when the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor is determined to enter the second cooking stage.
[0186] Specifically, the heating device continuously raises the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture. During the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture within the food processor is measured, and the food processor is used to determine whether to enter the second cooking stage. When the water-ingredient mixture temperature reaches a preset temperature, the food processor is confirmed to have entered the second cooking stage. The preset temperature is determined by the boiling point of the water-ingredient mixture and can be set to a temperature close to the boiling point, for example, a temperature approximately 5°C lower than the boiling point.
[0187] S207, When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the second control program.
[0188] Specifically, the second control program includes second heating parameters for the heating device and second mixing parameters for the mixing device. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the second heating parameters, and the mixing device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the second mixing parameters.
[0189] The second cooking stage includes a boiling stage, a simmering stage, and a blending stage. The second heating parameters include a first sub-heating parameter, a second sub-heating parameter, and a third sub-heating parameter. The second blending parameters also include a first sub-blending parameter, a second sub-blending parameter, and a third sub-blending parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches a preset temperature, the food processor enters the boiling stage. The heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the first sub-heating parameter, and the blending device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the first sub-blending parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture remains constant within a preset time, the food processor enters the simmering stage. The heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the second sub-heating parameter, and the blending device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the second sub-blending parameter. When the food processor enters the blending stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the third sub-heating parameter, and the blending device is controlled to pulverize the water-material mixture, thereby forming a slurry.
[0190] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions for powering on or activating its cooking function, the airflow device is checked for installation and / or operation. If the installation and / or operation of the airflow device is abnormal, it is determined that the airflow device is malfunctioning. The standard procedure is the first procedure. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the first control procedure. During the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture inside the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches a preset temperature, it is determined that the food processor enters the second cooking stage, and the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the second control procedure. This embodiment detects the airflow device malfunction before the first cooking stage of the food processor's cooking process and controls the food processor based on the first procedure. In the absence of an airflow device to assist cooking, the conventional procedure is used to realize the cooking control process of the food processor, improving the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control, preventing the water-material mixture inside the food processor from overflowing during cooking, preventing damage to the food processor, and ensuring the effectiveness of the food processor.
[0191] Please see Figure 18 , Figure 18 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 18 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S301-S306.
[0192] S301, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating that a fan program is required, then when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program.
[0193] The food processor includes a heating element and an airflow element. The heating element heats the water-to-material mixture inside the food processor to cook it, while the airflow element prevents the mixture from overflowing by blowing air into the food processor. The cooking process of the food processor includes a first cooking stage and a second cooking stage.
[0194] Specifically, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating the need for a fan-driven program, the airflow device is detected and its status determined when the food processor meets the detection conditions. The cooking instruction can be for making soy milk, rice paste, or other products requiring the use of an airflow device, or for making juice or other products not requiring an airflow device. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the first control program. The food processor also includes a blending device, which is used to stir or pulverize the water-ingredient mixture to improve the texture of the final slurry. Furthermore, the heating device provided in this embodiment is located at the bottom of the food processor, using bottom heating to heat the water-ingredient mixture. This can easily lead to uneven heating during the heating process. Therefore, the blending device can be used to stir the water-ingredient mixture, enabling heat conduction during heating, ensuring uniform heat distribution, improving temperature measurement accuracy, and preventing the mixture from scorching at the bottom. The first control program includes first heating parameters for the heating device and first blending parameters for the blending device. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture in the food processor according to the first heating parameter, and the mixing device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the first mixing parameter.
[0195] It should be noted that the airflow device is not required during the first cooking stage, regardless of whether the airflow device is malfunctioning or not. Therefore, the heating device of the food processor is controlled by the first control program during the first cooking stage.
[0196] S302, When the first cooking stage ends, turn on the airflow device, determine that the food processor meets the detection conditions for turning on the airflow device, detect the airflow device, and determine the status of the airflow device.
[0197] Specifically, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture inside the food processor is measured, and the end of the first cooking stage is determined based on the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture. When the first cooking stage ends, an airflow device is needed to prevent the water-ingredient mixture from overflowing. Therefore, the airflow device is turned on, and the food processor is checked to ensure that the airflow device meets the detection conditions for activation. The status of the airflow device is then determined.
[0198] The airflow device includes a housing with an air outlet and an air intake. The housing is connected to the lid of the food processor, which has an air inlet. A fan is mounted on the housing to provide airflow to the air inlet via the air outlet. The airflow device also includes a first seal, a first elastic element, and a driving element. The driving element includes an electromagnetic coil and an electromagnet shaft. The electromagnet shaft is connected to the first seal, and the first elastic element is sleeved around the electromagnet shaft to drive the electromagnet shaft to move the first seal towards the air outlet. Based on the above structural configuration, when the airflow device is turned on, the electromagnetic coil is energized, causing the first elastic element to drive the electromagnet shaft to move away from the air outlet relative to the electromagnetic coil, and also driving the first seal to move away from the air outlet, thereby opening the air outlet.
[0199] S303, If the airflow device is in an abnormal state, the normal procedure is the second procedure;
[0200] Specifically, the installation and / or operational status of the airflow device are detected to determine its installation and / or operational status. If the installation and / or operational status of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device is determined to be malfunctioning, and the food processor is controlled based on the standard operating procedure. When the airflow device is malfunctioning in the standard operating procedure, only the first and second programs of the heating device are considered. The first program is selected before the first cooking stage, and the second program is selected before the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the airflow device is turned on, and the detection condition for the airflow device to turn on is before the second cooking stage, the standard operating procedure is determined to be the second program.
[0201] It should be noted that the airflow device is turned on in step S302. If an abnormality is detected in the airflow device, it must be turned off. When the airflow device is turned off, the electromagnetic coil is de-energized so that the electromagnet shaft moves relative to the electromagnetic coil toward the air outlet and drives the first sealing member to move toward the air outlet to block the air outlet.
[0202] S304, the second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled based on the second program;
[0203] Specifically, the second program includes a second control program for the second cooking stage. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled according to the second control program.
[0204] S305, If the airflow device is in normal condition, the airflow procedure is the fourth procedure;
[0205] Specifically, the airflow device must be in both its installation and operational states to be considered functioning correctly. Therefore, the installation status of the airflow device is checked first. If the installation is normal, the operational status is then checked. Only if the operational status is normal can the airflow device be considered functioning correctly, based on the fan-driven program control of the food processor. The fan-driven programs are the third and fourth programs for the heating and airflow devices. The third program is selected before the first cooking stage, and the fourth program is selected before the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the airflow device is turned on, and the detection condition for the airflow device to turn on is before the second cooking stage, the fan-driven program is determined to be the fourth program.
[0206] S306, based on the fourth program control of the second cooking stage of the food processor.
[0207] Specifically, the fourth program includes a third control program for the second cooking stage. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled according to the third control program.
[0208] In this embodiment, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating the need for a fan-driven program, when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the first control program. When the first cooking stage ends, the airflow device is activated. The food processor is checked to ensure it meets the detection conditions for activating the airflow device. The state of the airflow device is then detected. If the airflow device is abnormal, the normal program is the second program, which controls the second cooking stage of the food processor. If the airflow device is normal, the fan-driven program is the fourth program, which controls the second cooking stage of the food processor. This embodiment uses the activation of the airflow device as the detection condition and selects different control programs to control the second cooking stage of the food processor based on whether the airflow device is abnormal or normal. This improves the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control, prevents damage to the food processor, and ensures its performance. Both the installation and operating states of the food processor are detected, improving the rigor and accuracy of the status detection.
[0209] Please see Figure 19 , Figure 19 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 19 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S401-S407.
[0210] S401, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating that a fan program is required, then when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program.
[0211] For detailed steps, please refer to S301; they will not be repeated here.
[0212] S402, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the first cooking stage is determined to be over. The airflow device is turned on, and the airflow device is detected to determine its status.
[0213] Specifically, the heating device continuously raises the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture. During the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-ingredient mixture within the food processor is measured, and the end of the first cooking stage is determined based on this temperature. When the water-ingredient mixture reaches the preset temperature, the first cooking stage is considered complete. At this point, the water-ingredient mixture is close to boiling, producing numerous bubbles, and is prone to overflow. Therefore, the airflow device needs to be activated. The airflow device is then monitored to determine its status. If the airflow device is functioning normally, it can be used to assist in cooking. The preset temperature is determined by the boiling point of the water-ingredient mixture and can be set to a value close to the boiling point, for example, approximately 5°C lower.
[0214] The airflow device includes a housing with an air outlet and an air intake. The housing is connected to the lid of a food processor, which has an air inlet. A fan is mounted on the housing to provide airflow to the air inlet via the air outlet. The airflow device also includes a first seal, a first elastic element, and a driving element. The driving element includes an electromagnetic coil and an electromagnet shaft. The electromagnet shaft is connected to the first seal, and the first elastic element is sleeved around the electromagnet shaft to drive the electromagnet shaft to move the first seal towards the air outlet. Based on the above structure, when the airflow device is turned on, the electromagnetic coil is energized, causing the first elastic element to drive the electromagnet shaft to move away from the air outlet relative to the electromagnetic coil, and also driving the first seal to move away from the air outlet, thereby opening the air outlet.
[0215] S403, When the food processor meets the detection conditions for the airflow device to be turned on, the installation status of the airflow device is detected to determine the installation status of the airflow device.
[0216] Specifically, after the airflow device is turned on, the food processor is determined to meet the detection conditions for the airflow device to be turned on. An installation status detection is then performed on the airflow device to determine its installation status. In the food processor provided in this application embodiment, the airflow device is electrically connected to the cup assembly. Therefore, performing an installation status detection on the airflow device to determine its installation status may include: detecting whether the circuit between the food processor's cup assembly and the airflow device is connected. If the circuit between the food processor's cup assembly and the airflow device is connected, the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be normal; if the circuit between the food processor's cup assembly and the airflow device is disconnected, the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be abnormal.
[0217] S404, If the installation status of the airflow device is abnormal, the normal procedure is the second procedure;
[0218] Specifically, if the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be abnormal, the airflow device is considered to be in abnormal condition. The food processor is controlled based on the normal program. When the normal program indicates that the airflow device is abnormal, only the first and second programs of the heating device are considered. The first program includes the first control program of the first cooking stage and the second control program of the second cooking stage. The second program includes the second control program of the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the airflow device is turned on, and the detection condition for the airflow device to turn on is before the second cooking stage, the normal program is determined to be the second program.
[0219] S405, When the food processor meets the detection conditions for the airflow device to be turned on, the working status of the airflow device is detected to determine the working status of the airflow device.
[0220] Specifically, this application also provides a working status detection method. When at least one of the installation status and working status of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device can be considered to be in an abnormal state. Therefore, when the food processor meets the detection conditions for the airflow device to be turned on, the working status of the airflow device can also be detected to determine its working status.
[0221] When testing the operating status of an airflow device, the device must be turned on to determine its operational status. This process includes: acquiring the device's operating parameters and determining whether these parameters fall within a preset range. If the parameters are within this range, the device is considered to be operating normally; otherwise, it is considered to be operating abnormally, and the device should be shut down. It should be noted that the airflow device includes components such as fans and electromagnetic coils. Operating parameters include, but are not limited to, the transmission current and power of the entire airflow device, or individual components such as fans or electromagnetic coils, as well as the fan speed. All operating parameters must be within the preset range for the airflow device to be considered operating normally; if at least one parameter is outside the preset range, the device is considered to be operating abnormally.
[0222] S406, If the airflow device is not functioning properly, the standard procedure is the second procedure.
[0223] Specifically, if it is determined that the working state of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device is considered to be in an abnormal state. For the specific steps of determining the routine procedure to be the second procedure, please refer to S404, which will not be repeated here.
[0224] S407, when the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the second control program.
[0225] For detailed steps, please refer to S207, which will not be repeated here.
[0226] In this embodiment, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating the need for a fan-driven program, when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to operate according to the first control program. During the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture inside the food processor is acquired. When the water-material mixture temperature reaches a preset temperature, the first cooking stage is determined to have ended, and the airflow device is activated. The airflow device is then monitored to determine its status. When the food processor meets the detection conditions for activating the airflow device, its installation and / or operating status is monitored to determine its installation and / or operating status. If the installation and / or operating status of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device is determined to be abnormal, and the normal program is changed to the second program. The heating device of the food processor is then controlled to operate according to the second control program within the second program. This embodiment detects an abnormality in the airflow device before the second cooking stage of the food processor's cooking process and controls the food processor based on the second program. Without airflow assistance, the food processor operates using standard procedures to control its cooking process, enhancing its flexibility and preventing spillage of the food mixture during cooking. This also prevents damage and ensures optimal performance. Both the installation and operational status of the food processor are monitored, improving the rigor and accuracy of status checks.
[0227] Please see Figure 20 , Figure 20 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 20 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S501-S506.
[0228] S501, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating that a fan program is required, then when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program.
[0229] Please refer to S401 for specific steps, which will not be repeated here.
[0230] S502, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the first cooking stage is determined to be over. The airflow device is turned on, and the airflow device is detected to determine its status.
[0231] For detailed steps, please refer to S402; they will not be repeated here.
[0232] S503, Perform installation status detection on the airflow device to determine the installation status of the airflow device;
[0233] Specifically, the airflow device must be in normal installation and operation status to be considered to be in normal condition. Therefore, the airflow device should first be tested for its installation status to determine its installation status.
[0234] For specific steps on checking the installation status of the airflow device, please refer to S403, which will not be repeated here.
[0235] S504 If the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device shall be detected to determine the working status of the airflow device.
[0236] Specifically, if the installation status of the airflow device is determined to be normal, a working status test is performed on the airflow device to determine its operating condition. For the specific steps of performing the working status test on the airflow device, please refer to S405, which will not be repeated here.
[0237] S505, If the airflow device is working normally, the airflow procedure is the fourth procedure;
[0238] Specifically, the airflow device can only be considered functioning correctly if it is also operating normally, based on the fan-driven program controlling the food processor. The fan-driven program consists of a third and a fourth program for the heating and airflow devices. The third program includes a first control program for the first cooking stage and a third control program for the second cooking stage, selected before the first cooking stage. The fourth program includes a third control program for the second cooking stage, also selected before the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the airflow device is turned on, and the detection condition for the airflow device to turn on is before the second cooking stage, the fan-driven program is determined to be the fourth program.
[0239] S506, when the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program.
[0240] Specifically, the food processor also includes a blending device, which is used to stir or pulverize the water-ingredient mixture to improve the texture of the final slurry. Additionally, the heating device provided in this embodiment is located at the bottom of the food processor, using bottom heating to heat the water-ingredient mixture. This can easily lead to uneven heating during the heating process. Therefore, the blending device can be used to stir the water-ingredient mixture, enabling heat conduction during heating, ensuring uniform heat distribution, improving temperature measurement accuracy, and preventing the mixture from sticking to the bottom. The third control program includes a first airflow parameter for the airflow device, a third heating parameter for the heating device, and a third blending parameter for the blending device. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the airflow device is controlled to blow air into the food processor according to the first airflow parameter, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-ingredient mixture according to the third heating parameter, and the blending device is controlled to stir the water-ingredient mixture according to the third blending parameter.
[0241] The second cooking stage includes a boiling stage, a simmering stage, and a stirring stage. The first airflow parameter includes a first sub-airflow parameter, a second sub-airflow parameter, and a third sub-airflow parameter. The third heating parameter includes a fourth sub-heating parameter, a fifth sub-heating parameter, and a sixth sub-heating parameter. The third stirring parameter includes a fourth sub-stirring parameter, a fifth sub-stirring parameter, and a sixth sub-stirring parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor enters the boiling stage. Airflow is directed into the food processor according to the first sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the fourth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device stirs the water-material mixture according to the fourth sub-mixing parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture remains constant within a preset time, the food processor enters the cooking stage. Airflow is directed into the food processor according to the second sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the fifth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device stirs the water-material mixture according to the fifth sub-mixing parameter. When the food processor enters the mixing stage, airflow is directed into the food processor according to the third sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the sixth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device pulverizes the water-material mixture according to the sixth sub-mixing parameter, thus forming a slurry.
[0242] It should be noted that since the airflow device is not required in the first cooking stage, the food processor uses the first control program in the first cooking stage, regardless of whether it is a regular program or a convection program. In the second cooking stage, the food processor uses the second control program for the regular program and the third control program for the convection program. The second control program in the second cooking stage specifies the heating parameters for the heating element as the second heating parameters and the control parameters for the blending element as the second blending parameters. The second heating parameters include first, second, and third sub-heating parameters for the boiling, simmering, and blending stages, respectively. The second blending parameters include first, second, and third sub-blending parameters for the boiling, simmering, and blending stages, respectively. Because the fourth control program includes first airflow parameters for the airflow device, the first, second, and third sub-heating parameters in the second control program for the boiling, simmering, and stirring stages are different from the fourth, fifth, and sixth sub-heating parameters in the third control program for the boiling, simmering, and stirring stages. The stirring parameters can be the same or different. For example, heating parameters include heating power; to prevent the water-material mixture from overflowing, the heating power in the second control program is lower than the heating power in the third control program during the same stage.
[0243] In this embodiment, if a cooking instruction is received for the food processor indicating that a fan program is required, when the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program. During the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the first cooking stage is determined to be over, the airflow device is turned on, the airflow device is detected, the status of the airflow device is determined, the installation status of the airflow device is detected, if the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device is detected, if the working status of the airflow device is normal, the fan program is the fourth program. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and the airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program in the fourth program. When the airflow device is functioning normally, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to operate according to the third control program. The airflow device can blow airflow into the container cavity of the food processor through the fan, so that the airflow lowers the temperature of the gas in the container cavity and increases the pressure, thereby causing the bubbles to break under the action of temperature and pressure difference, preventing the water-material mixture in the food processor from overflowing during the cooking process. Under the action of the airflow device, the heating parameters can be appropriately changed, thereby improving the cooking efficiency.
[0244] Please see Figure 21 , Figure 21This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 21 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S601-S606.
[0245] S601, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the installation status of the airflow device is detected to determine the installation status of the airflow device.
[0246] For detailed steps, please refer to S201; they will not be repeated here.
[0247] S602, If the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device shall be detected to determine the working status of the airflow device.
[0248] Specifically, the airflow device must be in normal installation and operation status to be considered to be in normal condition. Therefore, if the airflow device is in normal installation status, its operation status should be tested. For the specific steps of testing the operation status of the airflow device, please refer to S405, which will not be repeated here.
[0249] S603, if the airflow device is working normally, the airflow program is the third program;
[0250] Specifically, the airflow device can only be considered functioning correctly if it is also operating normally, based on the fan-driven program controlling the food processor. The fan-driven program consists of a third and a fourth program for the heating and airflow devices. The third program includes a first control program for the first cooking stage and a third control program for the second cooking stage, selected before the first cooking stage. The fourth program includes a third control program for the second cooking stage, also selected before the second cooking stage. Since the detection conditions are the food processor being powered on or its cooking function being activated, and these conditions occur before the first cooking stage, the fan-driven program is determined to be the third program.
[0251] S604, When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program;
[0252] For detailed steps, please refer to S205; they will not be repeated here.
[0253] S605, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained, and when the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor is determined to enter the second cooking stage.
[0254] Please refer to S206 for specific steps, which will not be repeated here.
[0255] S606: When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program.
[0256] For detailed steps, please refer to S506; they will not be repeated here.
[0257] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the installation status of the airflow device is detected. If the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device is detected. If the working status of the airflow device is normal, the wind program is the third program. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program in the third program. In the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, it is determined that the food processor enters the second cooking stage. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program in the third program. When the airflow device is functioning normally, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to operate according to the third control program. The airflow device can blow airflow into the container cavity of the food processor through the fan, so that the airflow lowers the temperature of the gas in the container cavity and increases the pressure, thereby causing the bubbles to break under the action of temperature and pressure difference, preventing the water-material mixture in the food processor from overflowing during the cooking process. Under the action of the airflow device, the heating parameters can be appropriately changed, thereby improving the cooking efficiency.
[0258] Please see Figure 22 , Figure 22 This is a schematic flowchart of a cooking control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 22 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S701-S708.
[0259] S701: When the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the installation status of the airflow device is detected to determine the installation status of the airflow device.
[0260] For detailed steps, please refer to S601; they will not be repeated here.
[0261] S702, If the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device shall be detected to determine the working status of the airflow device.
[0262] For detailed steps, please refer to S602; they will not be repeated here.
[0263] S703, if the airflow device is working normally, the airflow program is the third program;
[0264] For detailed steps, please refer to S603; they will not be repeated here.
[0265] S704, When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program;
[0266] For detailed steps, please refer to S604; they will not be repeated here.
[0267] S705, during the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained, and when the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor is determined to enter the second cooking stage.
[0268] For detailed steps, please refer to S605; they will not be repeated here.
[0269] S706, Turn on the airflow device to ensure that the food processor meets the detection conditions for turning on the airflow device;
[0270] Specifically, the airflow device may malfunction during the cooking process of the food processor. Therefore, when entering the second cooking stage, turn on the airflow device, confirm that the food processor meets the detection conditions for turning on the airflow device, and then test the airflow device again to improve the rigor of the airflow device test.
[0271] The airflow device includes a housing with an air outlet and an air intake. The housing is connected to the lid of a food processor, which has an air inlet. A fan is mounted on the housing to provide airflow to the air inlet via the air outlet. The airflow device also includes a first seal, a first elastic element, and a driving element. The driving element includes an electromagnetic coil and an electromagnet shaft. The electromagnet shaft is connected to the first seal, and the first elastic element is sleeved around the electromagnet shaft to drive the electromagnet shaft to move the first seal towards the air outlet. Based on the above structure, when the airflow device is turned on, the electromagnetic coil is energized, causing the first elastic element to drive the electromagnet shaft to move away from the air outlet relative to the electromagnetic coil, and also driving the first seal to move away from the air outlet, thereby opening the air outlet.
[0272] S707: When the food processor meets the detection conditions for the airflow device to be turned on, if the state of the airflow device is abnormal, the normal program is the second program, and the second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled based on the second program.
[0273] Specifically, the installation and / or operational status of the airflow device is detected. If the installation and / or operational status of the airflow device is abnormal, the airflow device is determined to be malfunctioning, and the airflow device is shut down. The fan program is switched to the normal program, and the food processor is controlled based on the normal program. When the airflow device is malfunctioning in the normal program, only the first and second programs of the heating device are applied. The first program includes a first control program for the first cooking stage and a second control program for the second cooking stage. The second program includes a second control program for the second cooking stage. Since the detection condition is that the airflow device is turned on, and the detection condition for the airflow device to turn on is before the second cooking stage, the normal program is determined to be the second program. The second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled according to the second control program of the second program. When the airflow device is turned off, the solenoid coil is de-energized, causing the electromagnet shaft to move relative to the solenoid coil towards the air outlet, and driving the first seal to move towards the air outlet to block the air outlet.
[0274] The second control program includes second heating parameters for the heating device and second mixing parameters for the mixing device. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-ingredient mixture according to the second heating parameters, and the mixing device is controlled to stir the water-ingredient mixture according to the second mixing parameters. The second cooking stage includes a boiling stage, a simmering stage, and a mixing stage. The second heating parameters include a first sub-heating parameter, a second sub-heating parameter, and a third sub-heating parameter. The second mixing parameters include a first sub-mixing parameter, a second sub-mixing parameter, and a third sub-mixing parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor enters the boiling stage. The heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the first sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the first sub-mixing parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture remains constant within a preset time, the food processor enters the cooking stage. The heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the second sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device is controlled to stir the water-material mixture according to the second sub-mixing parameter. When the food processor enters the mixing stage, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-material mixture according to the third sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device is controlled to pulverize the water-material mixture, thereby forming a slurry.
[0275] S708, if the airflow device is in normal condition, when the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program.
[0276] Specifically, the installation and operation status of the airflow device are checked. Only when both the installation and operation status are normal can the airflow device be determined to be in normal condition. Then, the food processor is controlled according to the third program. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and airflow device of the food processor are controlled according to the third control program of the third program.
[0277] The third control program includes a first airflow parameter for the airflow device, a third heating parameter for the heating device, and a third mixing parameter for the mixing device. When the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the airflow device is controlled to blow air into the food processor according to the first airflow parameter, the heating device is controlled to heat the water-ingredient mixture according to the third heating parameter, and the mixing device is controlled to mix the water-ingredient mixture according to the third mixing parameter. The first airflow parameter includes a first sub-airflow parameter, a second sub-airflow parameter, and a third sub-airflow parameter; the third heating parameter includes a fourth sub-heating parameter, a fifth sub-heating parameter, and a sixth sub-heating parameter; and the third mixing parameter includes a fourth sub-mixing parameter, a fifth sub-mixing parameter, and a sixth mixing parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, the food processor enters the boiling stage. Airflow is directed into the food processor according to the first sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the fourth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device stirs the water-material mixture according to the fourth sub-mixing parameter. When the temperature of the water-material mixture remains constant within a preset time, the food processor enters the cooking stage. Airflow is directed into the food processor according to the second sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the fifth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device stirs the water-material mixture according to the fifth sub-mixing parameter. When the food processor enters the mixing stage, airflow is directed into the food processor according to the third sub-airflow parameter, the heating device heats the water-material mixture according to the sixth sub-heating parameter, and the mixing device pulverizes the water-material mixture according to the sixth sub-mixing parameter, thus forming a slurry.
[0278] It should be noted that since the airflow device is not required in the first cooking stage, the food processor uses the first control program in the first cooking stage, regardless of whether it is a regular program or a convection program. In the second cooking stage, the food processor uses the second control program for the regular program and the third control program for the convection program. The second control program in the second cooking stage specifies the heating parameters for the heating element as the second heating parameters and the control parameters for the blending element as the second blending parameters. The second heating parameters include first, second, and third sub-heating parameters for the boiling, simmering, and blending stages, respectively. The second blending parameters include first, second, and third sub-blending parameters for the boiling, simmering, and blending stages, respectively. Because the fourth control program includes first airflow parameters for the airflow device, the first, second, and third sub-heating parameters in the second control program for the boiling, simmering, and stirring stages are different from the fourth, fifth, and sixth sub-heating parameters in the third control program for the boiling, simmering, and stirring stages. The stirring parameters can be the same or different. For example, heating parameters include heating power; to prevent the water-material mixture from overflowing, the heating power in the second control program is lower than the heating power in the third control program during the same stage.
[0279] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions of powering on or starting the cooking function, the installation status of the airflow device is detected. If the installation status of the airflow device is normal, the working status of the airflow device is detected. If the working status of the airflow device is normal, the airflow program is the third program. When the food processor enters the first cooking stage, the heating device of the food processor is controlled to work according to the first control program of the third program. In the first cooking stage, the temperature of the water-material mixture in the food processor is obtained. When the temperature of the water-material mixture reaches the preset temperature, it is determined that the food processor has entered the second cooking stage. The airflow device is turned on and detected. If the airflow device is abnormal, the normal program is the second program. The second cooking stage of the food processor is controlled based on the second program. If the airflow device is normal, when the food processor enters the second cooking stage, the heating device and the airflow device of the food processor are controlled to work according to the third control program. In this embodiment, the airflow device is tested before both the first and second cooking stages, which improves the rigor of the test. During the cooking process, the control program is switched in a timely manner, which improves the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control and ensures the effectiveness of the food processor.

[0350] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions, the airflow device of the food processor is detected to determine its state. Based on the state of the airflow device, a control program corresponding to the detection conditions for different cooking stages of the food processor is determined. In cases where the airflow device is abnormal or not, the control program can be adjusted promptly, achieving the beneficial effect of preventing the water-material mixture from overflowing, improving the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control, preventing damage to the food processor, and ensuring the food processor's performance. The detection conditions for the food processor include powering on the food processor and starting the cooking function before the first cooking stage, and also including turning on the airflow device before the second cooking stage. Therefore, the airflow device can be detected only before the first cooking stage, only before the second cooking stage, or both. The corresponding control program is selected based on the detection conditions. In the absence of an airflow device to assist cooking, the conventional program is used to implement the food processor's cooking control process. When the airflow device is functioning normally, the heating and airflow devices of the food processor are controlled according to the third control program. The airflow device blows air into the food processor's cavity via a fan, lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure of the gas inside. This causes the air bubbles to break up under the influence of the temperature and pressure differences, preventing the water-food mixture from overflowing during cooking. The airflow device can also adjust heating parameters appropriately, improving cooking efficiency. Both the installation and operational status of the food processor are monitored, enhancing the rigor and accuracy of status detection.

[0454] In this embodiment, when the food processor meets the detection conditions, the airflow device of the food processor is detected to determine its state.

In cases where the airflow device is abnormal or not, the control program can be adjusted promptly, achieving the beneficial effect of preventing the water-material mixture from overflowing, improving the flexibility of the food processor's cooking control, preventing damage to the food processor, and ensuring the food processor's performance. The detection conditions for the food processor include powering on the food processor and starting the cooking function before the first cooking stage, and also including turning on the airflow device before the second cooking stage. Therefore, the airflow device can be detected only before the first cooking stage, only before the second cooking stage, or both.

When the airflow device is functioning normally, the heating and airflow devices of the food processor are controlled according to the third control program. The airflow device blows air into the food processor's cavity via a fan, lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure of the gas inside. This causes the air bubbles to break up under the influence of the temperature and pressure differences, preventing the water-food mixture from overflowing during cooking. The airflow device can also adjust heating parameters appropriately, improving cooking efficiency. Both the installation and operational status of the food processor are monitored, enhancing the rigor and accuracy of status detection.
