[0037] The kitchen equipment 1 of the present invention includes at least one base 2, which has at least one connector 21 for electrically connecting to a food processing component; at least one first food processing piece 3, which is suitable for being separated and connected to a food processing chamber, accommodating at least one first food processing component 31 for performing at least one food processing function; at least one corresponding first corresponding connector 32, which is used to electrically connect to the base 2, at least one first food processing chamber 4 or a second food processing chamber 40, which is suitable for being separated and connected to the first food processing piece 3 and the second food processing piece 30, accommodating a second food processing component 310 required for performing at least one food processing function and at least one second corresponding connector 320 for being electrically connected to the base 2.
[0038] The first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 can be used for functions such as cutting, chopping, heating, coffee brewing, etc. For example, the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 suitable for brewing coffee can be in the form of a coffee maker, and the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 suitable for chopping food can be in the form of a chopping chamber.
[0039] The first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30 has at least one first food processing component 31 or second food processing component 310. The first food processing component 31 or the second food processing component 310 can be any food processing component, such as a heater, a stirrer, a chopper, etc. For example, the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30 suitable for chopping food may include a first food processing component 31 or the second food processing component 310 of a rotating knife, and the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30 suitable for brewing coffee may include a first food processing component 31 or the second food processing component 310 of a heater. The first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30 may further include a sensor (not shown), such as a temperature sensor.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kitchen device 1 has a second food processing chamber 40. Therefore, the user can use the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 which is more suitable for the type of food, the amount of food or the processing process they want to process.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kitchen device 1 has a second food processing element 30. Thus, the user can use the first food processing element 3 or the second food processing element 30 that is suitable for the process they want to perform.
[0042] The user installs the first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30 that the user wants to use on the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 that the user wants to use. Then, the user places the first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30 on the base 2. In this state, the kitchen device 1 can be used. When the user wants to perform a different operation with the same first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40, he removes the existing first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30 from the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40, and then installs the first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30 suitable for the operation he wants to perform into the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40. Similarly, when the user wants to perform a different operation with the same first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30, he removes the existing first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 from the first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30, and instead installs the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 suitable for the operation he wants to perform onto the first food processing piece 3 or the second food processing piece 30.
[0043] The kitchen device 1 of the present invention can be provided to the user as a set of equipment, including a base 2, a first food processing part 3 and a first food processing chamber 4. The user can purchase a second food processing part 30 or a second food processing chamber 40 at any time according to his or her increasing needs, thereby increasing the functionality of the kitchen device 1 of the present invention. Therefore, the user can reduce the initial purchase cost and customize the kitchen device 1 according to his or her needs. For example, the user can purchase a set of equipment suitable for making Turkish coffee. If the user also wants to use the kitchen device 1 for food chopping, he or she only needs to purchase the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30 suitable for chopping food and the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 suitable for chopping food.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 2 includes at least one control interface suitable for the user to perform at least one, multiple or all operations, including starting or stopping food processing, determining food processing type, and determining food processing time.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first food processing element 3 or the second food processing element 30 has at least one indicator suitable for determining the processing (cooking, cutting, mixing, etc.) that can be performed by the first food processing component 31 or the second food processing component 310 contained therein. The indicator can be any indicator, such as a resistor value, a QR code, digital data, a relief representing a number in a binary system, etc.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 has at least one indicator suitable for determining the process (cooking, cutting, mixing, etc.) that can be performed therein. The indicator can be any indicator, such as a resistor value, a two-dimensional code, digital data, a relief representing a number in a binary system, etc.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 2 includes at least one control unit adapted to read an indicator of the first food processing element 3 or the second food processing element 30 or the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40. The control unit is preferably capable of driving a user interface to display to the user the operations that can be performed using the combination of the existing first food processing element 3 or the second food processing element 30 and the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first food processing member 3 or the second food processing member 30 includes at least one control unit for reading an indicator of the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40 connected thereto. The control unit drives a user interface to display to the user the operations that can be performed by the combination of the existing first food processing member 3 or the second food processing member 30 and the first food processing chamber 4 or the second food processing chamber 40.
[0049] The base 2 includes an actuator or a sensor. Therefore, these components, especially common components such as a motor for driving a stirrer or a temperature sensor, may be located on the base 2, while other first food processing components 31 or second food processing components 310 may be located on the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30.
[0050] The first food processing assembly 31 or the second food processing assembly 310 is detachably connected to the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30. Therefore, the first food processing assembly 31 or the second food processing assembly 310 that contacts food, such as a knife or a blender, needs to be cleaned frequently, and can be easily cleaned by separating them from the first food processing part 3 or the second food processing part 30.
