The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a food processing device 100, which is used for processing food, for example, it can have the functions of stirring or / and breaking the wall of food, etc. The food processing device 100 can be a meat grinder, an ice cream machine, a slush machine, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations thereon. For the purpose of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the food processing device 100 is taken as an ice cream machine for example.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 3In an embodiment provided by the present application, the food processing device 100 comprises a containing barrel 10, a cover 20, a detection assembly 30 and an inner container 40. The containing barrel 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 11, and the cover 20 is movably connected to the containing barrel 10 and can close the mounting cavity 11. The detection assembly 30 comprises a sensing body 31 and a sensor 32, the sensing body 31 is arranged on one of the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10, and the sensor 32 is arranged on the other one of the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10. When the cover 20 covers the mounting cavity 11, the sensing body 31 can be located in the sensing range of the sensor 32. The inner container 40 is detachably arranged in the mounting cavity 11, and the containing barrel 10 is provided with a sensing switch 12. When the inner container 40 is contained in the mounting cavity 11, the sensing switch 12 is triggered by the inner container 40 to generate a trigger signal.

[0030] Before the food processing device 100 works, the user places the inner container 40 in the mounting cavity 11 correctly, adds the food materials needed for making ice cream into the inner container 40, and then starts the food processing device 100 after covering the mounting cavity 11 with the cover 20 correctly. Since the inner container 40 and the cover 20 are manually installed on the containing barrel 10 by the user, in order to avoid the safety hazard caused by the improper installation of the inner container 40 and the cover 20 during the process of making ice cream, the sensing body 31 and the sensor 32 located on the cover 20 or the containing barrel 10 can cooperate to ensure that the device is started and operated under the condition that the cover 20 covers the mounting cavity 11 correctly, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the device. In addition, the sensing switch 12 located on the containing barrel 10 can cooperate with the inner container 40 to ensure that the inner container 40 is correctly installed in the containing barrel 10, so as to ensure that the device is started under the correct condition, reduce the possibility of failure, and improve the reliability of the device. At the same time, the user can judge whether the inner container 40 or the cover 20 is placed correctly through the feedback of the sensing switch 12 or the detection assembly 30.

[0031] Specifically, the food processing device 100 can include a controller 104 and an alarm 105 connected to each other, the controller 104 is electrically connected to the detection assembly 30 and the inductive switch 12 to obtain the signal generated by the detection assembly 30 or the inductive switch 12, the controller 104 processes the obtained signal, and controls the alarm 105 to issue an alarm signal when the signal does not meet the predetermined signal value. The predetermined signal value can include two, one of which is a signal value indicating that the cover 20 is properly capped on the installation cavity 11, and the other is a signal value indicating that the inner container 40 is properly placed in the containing barrel 10. It can be set according to the actual structure of the detection assembly 30 and the inductive switch 12, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations. As an example, when the detection assembly 30 is a magnetic piece and an inductor, the predetermined signal value can be a predetermined magnetic field strength or a predetermined magnetic field strength range; when the detection assembly 30 is an infrared emitter and an inductor, the predetermined signal value can be a predetermined radiation intensity or a predetermined radiation intensity range; when the micro switch 12 is a pressure sensor, the predetermined signal value can be a predetermined pressure value or a predetermined pressure value range.

[0032] The alarm signal includes but is not limited to language broadcast, beep, bright indicator light, etc., and the alarm signal issued when the cover 20 is not properly placed in the installation cavity 11 and the inner container 40 is not properly placed in the containing barrel 10 is different. As an example, when the cover 20 is not properly placed in the installation cavity 11, the controller 104 receives a signal generated by the detection assembly 30 that does not meet the predetermined signal value, at which time the controller 104 instructs the alarm 105 to light a red light; when the inner container 40 is not properly placed in the containing barrel 10, the controller 104 receives a signal generated by the inductive switch 12 that does not meet the predetermined signal value, at which time the controller 104 instructs the alarm 105 to light a yellow light. The controller 104 and the alarm 105 set by the intuitive interaction mode can simplify the user operation process, reduce misoperation, and improve the convenience of use.

[0033] Next, each component of the food processing device 100 and the specific structure of each component will be introduced one by one.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the cabinet 101 is used to install and protect parts, and at the same time, the cabinet 101 is used to support the use place of the food processing device 100, such as the ground, the desktop or other support platform. Specifically, the cabinet 101 is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and in other embodiments, the cabinet 101 can also be in the shape of a square, a cylinder or even an irregular shape. The cabinet 101 has a containing space 402 for installing and placing parts, which can include the above-mentioned shell, driving piece or other components, and the present embodiment does not make limitations.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The containing barrel 10 is a mechanism for holding food materials to be processed in the food processing device 100, and is provided in the cabinet 101 to provide a low-temperature environment for ice cream. The containing barrel 10 can specifically include an inner barrel 102 and an outer barrel 103, both of which are barrel-shaped structures, and the double-layer barrel design can effectively maintain a low temperature. The inner barrel 102 is usually made of food-grade metal to ensure food safety and hygiene. The outer barrel 103 can be made of plastic or other materials to provide good heat insulation effect. The inner barrel 102 and the outer barrel 103 can be filled with insulation materials (not shown in the figure), such as polyurethane foam, which helps to insulate and reduce the influence of external heat on the internal temperature of the food processing device 100.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the containing barrel 10 has a mounting cavity 11, which is specifically defined by the inner wall surface of the inner barrel 102. The inner liner 40 is detachably arranged in the mounting cavity 11, facilitating disassembly and cleaning to maintain the cleanliness of the device. The inner liner 40 is barrel-shaped, and has a first opening 401 and a containing space 402 that are in communication with each other. The cabinet 101 also has a second opening 1011, wherein the second opening 1011 is arranged opposite to the first opening 401, and the first opening 401, the second opening 1011, the mounting cavity 11 and the containing space 402 are in communication with each other, thereby allowing the food materials required for making ice cream to be sequentially added to the containing space 402 through the second opening 1011 and the first opening 401. The food materials required for making ice cream can be butter, cream, cheese, nuts, fruits, etc. The inner liner 40 not only serves to contain the food materials to be processed, but also provides a place for processing the food materials.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the present embodiment, the cover 20 is movably connected to the containing barrel 10 and closes the mounting cavity 11 to prevent dust and impurities from contacting the food materials inside the mounting cavity 11. At the same time, the cover 20 also serves to prevent the food materials from splashing during stirring or breaking. Specifically, the cover 20 is rotatably arranged at the first opening 401 of the containing barrel 10, and can be detachably connected to the containing barrel 10 or can be flipably connected to the containing barrel 10, which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.

[0038] In order to improve the installation accuracy of the cover 20 on the containing barrel 10 by the user manually, the detection assembly 30 is arranged on the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10 in the embodiment. The installation accuracy of the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10 is improved by the mutual induction of the detection assembly 30, so as to avoid the safety problems of the food processing equipment 100 caused by the cover 20 not being installed correctly on the installation cavity 11, such as preventing the food materials from splashing to cause damage to the human body or the failure problem caused by the equipment running due to the cover 20 not being installed correctly.

[0039] Specifically, the detection assembly 30 includes the inductor 31 and the inductor 32, the inductor 31 is arranged on any one of the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10, and the inductor 32 is arranged on the other one of the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10. The cover 20 has a preset installation position relative to the first opening 401 of the containing barrel 10, when the cover 20 is located at the preset installation position, the inductor 31 is located in the sensing range of the inductor 32, that is, the cover 20 is correctly installed on the containing barrel 10. As an installation example, the inductor 31 can be arranged on the cover 20, and the inductor 32 can be arranged on the containing barrel 10. As another installation example, the inductor 31 can be arranged on the containing barrel 10, and the inductor 32 can be arranged on the cover 20. The embodiment does not limit the specific arrangement positions of the detection assembly 30 on the cover 20 and the containing barrel 10. When the cover 20 is rotatably arranged on the first opening 401 and is rotated to the position, the inductor 31 can be located in the sensing range of the inductor 32, at this time, the inductor 32 receives the maximum signal value and feeds back the signal value to the controller 104, at this time, the controller 104 can determine that the cover 20 is installed correctly. Conversely, when the cover 20 is not rotated to the position, the controller 104 cannot obtain the signal value from the inductor 32 or the obtained signal value cannot satisfy the predetermined signal value, the controller 104 instructs the alarm 105 to send the alarm signal, so that the user can intuitively know whether the cover 20 and the installation cavity 11 are installed correctly.

[0040] The embodiment does not limit the forms of the inductor 32 and the inductor 31 and the induction mode between the two, for example, the inductor 31 can be a magnetic piece, an infrared emitter, etc. The inductor 32 can be a Hall element, an infrared receiver, a photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0041] As an example, the inductor 31 can be an infrared emitter arranged on the cover 20. The inductor 32 can be an infrared receiver arranged on the containing barrel 10. The cover 20 has a preset installation position relative to the first opening 401, when the cover 20 is installed on the first opening 401 and is rotated to the preset installation position, the infrared receiver can detect the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter.

[0042] In the embodiment, the sensor 32 can be a Hall sensor 321, and the sensing body 31 can be a magnet 311. The Hall sensor 321 can be installed at the end of the containing barrel 10 and located outside the containing barrel 10, i.e. at the side close to the first opening 401, and the magnet 311 can be arranged on the outer sidewall of the cover 20, so that the magnet 311 can face the Hall sensor 321 when located at the preset installation position. The Hall sensor 321 is used to detect the magnet 311 and generate a signal, specifically to detect the magnetic field strength of the magnet 311. In some embodiments, the sensor 32 can also be arranged inside the containing barrel 10 and close to the cover 20. The controller can be a control circuit board or a control chip, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.

[0043] Referring to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the sensing switch 12 is arranged on the containing barrel 10 to sense whether the inner container 40 is correctly installed in the installation cavity 11. The sensing switch 12 can be arranged inside the containing barrel 10 or outside the containing barrel 10, on the barrel wall of the containing barrel 10 or on the bottom wall of the containing barrel 10, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. The sensing switch 12 can be a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. As an example, the sensing switch 12 can be a photoelectric sensor, which is arranged on the inner wall of the containing barrel 10 close to the bottom wall. When the inner container 40 is installed on the bottom of the containing barrel 10, the photoelectric sensor can determine whether the inner container 40 is installed in place by detecting the change of light shielding or light reflection of the inner container 40. As another example, the sensing switch 12 can be a capacitive sensor, which can detect the change of capacitance due to the approach of the inner container 40, so as to determine the installation position of the inner container 40.

[0044] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In the embodiment, the sensing switch 12 can include a top rod 121, a micro switch 122, and a first mounting bracket 123. When the inner container 40 is installed to a predetermined position, the inner container 40 abuts against the sensing switch 12, so that the controller 104 can accurately detect whether the inner container 40 is installed in place. The first mounting bracket 123 is connected to the containing barrel 10 or other devices in the cabinet 101 to achieve fixed connection. The first mounting bracket 123 is used to mount the top rod 121 and the micro switch 122. The top rod 121 is in the form of a rod and is used to movably abut between the inner container 40 and the micro switch 122. The first mounting bracket 123 has a mounting channel 1231, in which the top rod 121 is movably accommodated and at least partially located inside the installation cavity 11. The micro switch 122 and the top rod 121 are spaced apart, and specifically can be coaxially arranged and located below the gravity of the micro switch 122. When the inner container 40 is installed in the installation cavity 11, the inner container 40 moves to the bottom of the installation cavity 11 to abut and press the top rod 121. The top rod 121 then moves towards one side of the micro switch 122 until it abuts against the micro switch 122. At this time, the micro switch 122 generates a triggering signal or a pressure signal. After the controller 104 receives the triggering signal or the received pressure signal meets a predetermined signal value, the controller 104 indicates that the inner container 40 is correctly placed in the installation cavity 11. Conversely, when the inner container 40 is not installed in place, the controller 104 cannot obtain the triggering signal from the micro switch 122 or the received pressure signal cannot meet the predetermined signal value, so that the alarm 105 sends an alarm signal. The detection is achieved through the mechanical contact of the top rod 121, the micro switch 122, and the inner container 40, without the need to set a complex electronic or sensor system, so that the overall structure can be simplified, accurate detection can be achieved, and fast response can be achieved.

[0045] In the embodiment, the sensing switch 12 can further include an elastic member 124, which can be a spring. The elastic member 124 elastically abuts between the top rod 121 and the first mounting bracket 123 and is used to provide a restoring force for the top rod 121 to move away from the micro switch. When the inner container 40 is placed in place, the top rod 121 is abutted by the inner container 40, the elastic member 124 is in a compressed state, and the top rod 121 and the micro switch are jointly pressed. When the inner container 40 is removed, the restoring force of the elastic member 124 acts on the top rod 121, so that the top rod 121 can quickly return to the initial state, facilitating detection next time. By arranging the elastic member 124, on the one hand, the elastic member 124 can achieve fast reset and fast response of the micro switch; on the other hand, the elastic member 124 can reduce mechanical wear and serve as a buffer to reduce the false operation of the top rod 121 and the micro switch due to vibration or movement, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sensing switch 12.

[0046] In the embodiment, the bottom of the containing barrel 10 is provided with a clearance hole 14 communicating with the installation cavity 11, the clearance hole 14 is used to provide a space for the movement of the top rod 121, the top rod 121 is movably accommodated in the installation cavity 11 through the clearance hole 14, since the top rod 121 is at least partially accommodated in the installation cavity 11, in order to reduce the contact of the inductive switch 12 with the water leakage in the food processing process and reduce the wear of the inner container 40 with the top rod 121, the food processing device 100 can further comprise a first sealing member 13, the first sealing member 13 is sleeved on one end of the top rod 121 penetrating the clearance hole 14. The specific type of the first sealing member 13 is not limited in the embodiment, for example, the first sealing member 13 can be a sealing sleeve, which can be made of a material with elasticity and waterproof performance, for example, the first sealing member 13 can be a rubber sealing sleeve. The rubber sealing sleeve can be detachably connected to one end of the top rod 121, when the inner container 40 is separated from the installation cavity 11, the rubber sealing sleeve is at least partially ejected from the clearance hole 14 following the recovery of the top rod 121.

[0047] In order to realize the sealing and fastening cooperation of the top rod 121 and the containing barrel 10 when the inner container 40 is accommodated in the installation cavity 11, the first sealing member 13 can comprise a sealing cap 131 and a sealing flange 132 connected with each other, the inductive switch 12 can further comprise a second installation bracket 125 connected to the top rod 121, specifically, the second installation bracket 125 can be stacked on part of the structure of the top rod 121 and can move with the movement of the top rod 121. The first sealing member 13 is arranged on the side of the second installation bracket 125 facing the inner container 40, the sealing cap 131 is movably penetrated in the clearance hole 14 and accommodated in the installation cavity 11, and cooperates with the top rod 121 to seal the clearance hole 14. The sealing flange 132 is arranged outside the installation cavity 11, specifically, the sealing flange 132 can be stacked on the second installation bracket 125, the sealing flange 132, the second installation bracket 125 and part of the top rod 121 are stacked with each other to realize the sealing contact of the top rod 121 and the containing barrel 10. When the top rod 121 is at least partially accommodated in the installation cavity 11, that is, when the inner container 40 is not correctly installed, the first sealing member 13 is clamped between the second installation bracket 125 and the containing barrel 10 to realize the sealing and fastening cooperation of the inductive switch 12 and the containing barrel 10. At this time, one end of the top rod 121 penetrates the sealing flange 132, the clearance hole 14 and is accommodated in the sealing cap 131 in sequence.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7In the embodiment, the food processing device 100 can include a stirring device 50 for stirring the food materials to improve the efficiency and mixing uniformity of food processing. The stirring device 50 includes a stirring driving assembly 51 and a stirring cutter 52, one end of the stirring cutter 52 is connected to the cover 20, and the other end extends to the inner container 40, so as to stir the food materials in the inner container 40. Specifically, the stirring cutter 52 can be arranged at the top of the inner container 40 and extend towards the bottom of the inner container 40, so as to stir and mix all the food materials in the inner container 40.
