Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chef machines, and in particular relates to an automatic water-adding chef machine. Background Art

[0002] The chef machine is a multifunctional kitchen appliance in the field of Chinese and Western pastry, which is mainly used for stirring, beating eggs, and kneading dough. When it is working, the motor in the main unit is powered on and then driven by a belt, which in turn drives the gears to transmit the stirring force. The output end of the chef machine is connected to the corresponding accessories, such as a stirring rod, a dough press, a dough cutter, etc., to start the corresponding function. At present, most of the chef machines on the market can realize the automatic stirring function, but lack the function of automatically adding water according to the amount of material in the mixing container. When water needs to be added, it depends on the user to add it manually. The control of the amount of water depends on the user's own experience or judgment. When the number of times water is added is large, the error will increase, which is not conducive to making successful dough, etc., especially for novices. It increases the difficulty of making dough, etc., and the production process will become cumbersome, resulting in a bad user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an automatic water-adding chef machine that can automatically add water to the mixing bowl according to the weight change in the mixing bowl, thereby solving the inconvenience of the existing chef machine requiring manual water addition and facilitating use. The specific technical solution of the utility model is provided below:

[0004] An automatic water-adding food processor comprises a machine body, a stirring bowl and a stirring rod are arranged on the machine body, a gravity sensor, a control component and a water storage tank;

[0005] The gravity sensor is arranged at the bottom of the mixing basin, the control component is arranged in the machine body, and the water storage tank is arranged on one side of the machine body; the water outlet of the water storage tank is connected with the mixing basin through a flow guide component, and a flow guide pump is arranged on the flow guide component;

[0006] The gravity sensor and the diversion pump are both electrically connected to the control component, and the control component receives the information fed back by the gravity sensor to control the diversion pump to work. When the user uses the chef machine, the mixing bowl is taken out from the chef machine, materials such as flour and wheat flour are added to the mixing bowl, and then the required accessories are installed to the output port of the chef machine, and then the mixing bowl is installed back to the original position. When the mixing bowl is correctly installed, the chef machine can be started. The chef machine is powered by the power socket through the connected transmission line to the gravity sensor, the control mainboard, the diversion pump, the output end, etc. When the corresponding function is started, the gravity sensor will first sense the weight of the material in the mixing bowl, and then the information formed will be fed back to the control mainboard. After receiving the information, the control mainboard immediately starts the memory module therein, and starts the corresponding instructions stored in the module according to the information fed back by the gravity sensor. The control mainboard then controls the diversion pump to draw water from the water tank into the mixing bowl according to the instructions. During this period, the gravity sensor continuously senses the weight information in the mixing basin and transmits it to the control main board in real time. The control main board then determines whether to continue to supply water or cut off the water based on the information. That is, when the amount of water is constant and the total weight in the mixing basin reaches the weight threshold in the instruction, the control main board controls the diversion pump to stop pumping, thereby stopping the water supply and completing the function of automatic water supply.

[0007] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a mounting groove is provided in the base of the machine body, and the gravity sensor is provided in the mounting groove. The mounting groove is located in the base and is not easily affected by the horizontality of the plane on which the chef machine is placed. The gravity sensor can be installed in the machine body for integrated production, thus simplifying the production process.

[0008] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a hook is provided on one side wall of the water tank, the hook is located at the top of the side wall of the water tank, an annular groove is provided on the outer shell of the machine body, the hook is engaged with the annular groove, so that the water tank can be detachably connected to the machine body. The hook is located at the top of the side wall of the water tank, which is conducive to the installation of the water tank. The engagement of the hook with the annular groove allows the water tank to be separated from the machine body. When the water tank is insufficient, it can be removed and taken away to add water without carrying the heavy whole machine. Moreover, this detachable structure makes the overall installation and disassembly of the machine easier.

[0009] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the flow guide component also includes a flow guide pipe, and the flow guide pipe is provided with a water outlet and a water inlet; the water outlet is located above the mixing basin, the water inlet is connected to the water storage tank, and the flow guide pump is arranged on the flow guide pipe. The complete and simple passage of the flow guide component makes water addition simple and efficient. After water is added to the water outlet located above, the remaining water can also flow into the mixing basin along the flow guide pipe. If there is water remaining in the flow guide pipe next to the water outlet after each water addition, various harmful bacteria will inevitably breed in the pipe over time, especially in the summer and the warm and humid environment in the south. If the bacteria carried in the water are not cleaned in time, it will affect the fermentation of dough, etc., and even affect the health of the user. This design ensures that clean water is added each time, reduces the number of times the flow guide pipe is cleaned and replaced, brings convenience to the user and maintains health.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the control component includes a control mainboard and an adjusting knob, the control mainboard includes a memory module, the control mainboard is arranged at the base of the machine body and is arranged near the water tank, the adjusting knob is arranged on the outer wall of the machine body and is located above the mixing bowl, and the adjusting knob is electrically connected to the control mainboard. The adjusting knob enables the user to conveniently use the various functions of the chef machine, and at the same time, the required water volume can be preset according to the user's own preferences through the adjusting knob, wherein the preset function is completed by the memory module in the control mainboard and the adjusting knob. The preset process is that the user rotates the adjusting knob to the corresponding preset function gear, and then rotates it to the corresponding stirring function gear, and finally sets different water volumes by the angle after the adjusting knob is rotated to the initial position, and the water volume information is stored and stored by the memory module in the mainboard to form instructions. After this process is completed, it can be preset again. Through this method, the memory module can memorize multiple instructions for use in multiple function gears in the future.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a tank cover is provided on the top of the water tank, and the tank cover is provided with a groove. The tank cover has two grooves symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the tank cover, and the grooves conform to the shape of human fingers, so that the tank cover is easy to pick up, thereby making the water tank easier to open, convenient for adding water or cleaning.
