-be used for the timer of countdowning that the duration that blender will operate is countdowned before stopping.Usually, be set by the user for the initial duration of mixing, then, according to the carrying out of time of blender operation the initial duration countdowned to zero.In order to enter this pattern from default mode of operation, press timer button 172 and 174 so that the expectation mixed duration to be set, and rotating control assembly 124 rotated to desired speed set value.Subsequently, blender operates with this pattern, before stopping at blender the duration is countdowned:
-be used for positive number timing timer that institute's elapsed time from operation " suspend/" button is carried out timing.This is the function of normally used kitchen timer; And
-for the timer of countdowning that begins to countdown from the selected time.In case count up to zero through selected time period and timer, the alarm that then can hear will be sounded.This also is the function of normally used kitchen timer.
The below will discuss the operation of first mode and the second pattern in more detail.Therefore the function of three-mode and four-mode and be operating as does not well known in the artly discuss in detail.
Operation---positive number timing mode
Now, with reference to the operation under " the positive number timing mode " 800 of the flow chart description blender 100 among Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 and Fig. 7.
At first, the user prepares blender 100.By head portion release-push 131, mixer head unit 108 is switched to clear position among Fig. 3, discharge head release-push 131, so that head unit locking pin can be locked in the appropriate position mixer head unit 108.The annex of the expectation of selection such as whipper, agitator or hook etc., and it is attached to mixes axle 118.Key 128 is guaranteed the transfer of torque between certain joint and mixing axle 118 and the annex.Subsequently, bowl 112 is positioned in the recess 110, and adds raw material to bowl 112.Subsequently, with release mixer head unit 108, subsequently, mixer head unit 108 is reduced to hybrid position by head portion release-push 131.
Before the motion of mixed organization begins, supply with power to blender 100, thereby in step 803 timer is initialized as zero.This is shown in Figure 7 for to occur in and sets before the desired speed, yet, should be appreciated that and can or initialize following closely when setting desired speed.
Alternatively, if set speed setting value, then blender can be by not receiving the desired speed of self-rotation control device 124 to set value to carry out this step 805 in the situation from user's other input.
In case timer has carried out initializing and having received the desired speed setting value, then blender is ready to begin by operating with setting speed operation motor and to timer increase timing in step 807.In order to begin to carry out this step, if rotating control assembly 124 is initially in the off-position, then blender will be in the situation that receive the motion of desired speed setting value (for non-zero) beginning hybrid motion.Alternatively, in the situation that set speed setting value at rotating control assembly 124, when blender detect by the user carry out to the operation of " suspending/beginning " button 124 time, beginning is with the step 807 of setting speed operation motor.
Step 807 is to realize the step of desired speed for blender 100 operation motors.In case mixed organization is setting in motion, then timer will be started from scratch take one second as the timing of increment positive number.In fact, this is to mix the axle institute's elapsed time that is kept in motion, preferably with show process minute and second form visually be illustrated on the digital display 160.
During mixing, the user may wish to suspend hybrid task by pressing " suspending/beginning " button 24, shown in step 809.Subsequently, blender 100 will enter halted state 811, halted state 811 will stop mixed organization motion, stop timer and elapsed time suspended in the time when pressing " suspending/begin " button.Elapsed time and speed setting value are stored in the memory device.Elapsed time can flash at digital display 160 continuously during time-out, is in halted state 811 with the prompting user machine.
Under halted state, the user can release and is made mixer head unit 108 move to clear position, adds other raw material to bowl 112, reduces mixer head unit 108 and itself and locking are got back to hybrid position.
During the halted state 811 and by pressing in step 815 before " suspend/beginning " button 24 continues to mix, optionally, it is zero that (initializations) timer of might resetting is got back to it, shown in the intermediate steps 813 among Fig. 7.This can be by pressing " replacement " input, for example pressing simultaneously and keep timer to increase button 174 and timer reducing button 172 and realize.This provides and has been used for the flexibility that the user begins new timer arrangement.
In addition, during halted state, also optionally, might before proceeding, change speed setting value.This also is illustrated in intermediate steps 813 places, realizes by the desired speed of at first that rotating control assembly 124 rotations are extremely new renewal, and the desired speed of new renewal will show at digital display 160.Subsequently, proceed to mix with new desired speed by press " suspending/beginning " button 24 in step 815.Timer is incited somebody to action or from time continuation positive number timing shown when timer enters halted state, is perhaps started from scratch under the state that timer module is reset and continue the positive number timing.
In order to continue to mix, the user presses " suspending/beginning " button 24 again in step 815, and blender will be by to be stored in the desired speed setting value in the memory device and elapsed time moves motor and mixed organization continues operating procedure 807.Therefore, subsequently, timer continues to begin the positive number timing from elapsed time shown when timer enters halted state.Timer " time " and " speed " when advantageously, blender 100 utilizes blender 100 to be suspended.Therefore, the user need to not arrange speed or timer after suspending, if but the user expects then this also is possible alternatively.This helps the user that accurate and constant mixing is provided in their recipe, and irrelevant with the number of times of user selection time-out blender.
In order to finish mixing in step 807 operation motor, the user can rotate rotating control assembly 124 to the off-position in step 817, perhaps again presses " suspending/beginning " button in step 809.Subsequently, mixer head unit 108 can be unlocked and move to clear position, and removes the bowl 112 of the raw material with mixing.
Operation---the pattern of countdowning
Now, with reference to the operation under " pattern of countdowning " 900 of the flow chart description blender 100 among Fig. 1 to 5 and Fig. 8.
Attached mixing annex and location bowl and add the initial step of raw material can be enough with above describe identical mode and carry out.
In order to set the duration 903 to mix, blender 100 is in step 903 reception this information from the user.User's operation timer increases button 174 and timer reduces button 172, and to select the expectation mixed duration of blender to be entered, the expectation mixed duration will be presented on the digital display 160.In one embodiment, timer increases each operation of button 174 with mixed duration increase by 30 seconds.On the contrary, timer reduces at every turn pressing of button 172 mixed duration is reduced 30 seconds.Should be appreciated that and also can use other increment levels, for example 1 second, 10 seconds, 20 seconds and 1 minute.For example, if two minutes mixing of customer requirements, then pressing No. four timers increases button 174 until digital display 160 visually shows two minutes.
If set speed setting value 905 before setting the duration 903, the replacement scheme that then begins this mechanism is to depress " suspending/beginning " button 124 with the hybrid motion of beginning mixed organization, countdowning of step 907 beginning timer.
Subsequently, in step 907, blender 100 will move motor to realize desired speed.In case the mixed organization setting in motion, then timer will begin from the expectation mixed duration set, with the increment in a second, countdown towards zero.Digital display 160 shows this residue duration.
In step 907 operation mixed organization, controller is in step 920 monitoring residue incorporation time, if timer is countdowned to zero (that is, for the present embodiment, passed through two minutes mixing), then mixed organization stops motor and mixed organization in step 917.Alternatively, siren will sound to point out to mix and finish.Otherwise blender will continue the operation motor in step 907.
In addition, when blender mixed during step 907, the user may wish to suspend hybrid task.Whether this presses " suspending/beginning " button by monitor user ' is realized in step 909.If so, then blender enters halted state 911, thereby timer is countdowned by the time and speed setting value is stored in the memory device.When blender when step 915 receives other input from " suspend/beginning " button, can set value service time and speed setting value (perhaps other parameters), this will make blender be back to blend step 907.Halted state 911 times, shown in the step 913 among Fig. 8, the user can upgrade speed before continuing.The function of describing under the above-mentioned halted state during these functions and the positive number timing mode is substantially the same.
In addition, when in the pattern of countdowning during for halted state 911 times, the user can carry out the step that changes the remaining time of countdowning in step 913.This reduces button 172 by operation timer increase button 174 or timer and realizes.In one embodiment, this will make remaining mixed duration become 30 seconds nearest increments.
For example, the timer of will countdowning is set as 3 minutes, rotating control assembly 124 is set as the desired speed that begins to mix.After 1 minute 25 seconds, operation " suspends/beginning " button, and blender 100 enters halted state.Digital display will illustrate 1 minute 35 seconds residue and countdown the time.The user increases button 174 by next time with timer, and then display will illustrate 2 minutes, and this is 30 seconds nearest increments.
The automatic pause security feature
The automatic pause security feature can be set, to stop mixed organization in the situation that mixer head unit 108 is switched to clear position from hybrid position when mixed organization moves.
Whether the sensor of setting such as microswitch 88 is in hybrid position with indication mixer head unit 108, as shown in figure 11.If mixer head unit 108 not at hybrid position, makes microswitch 88 inactivations thus as shown in figure 11, controller will stop motor, prevent thus the mixed organization motion.This feature prevents from being made the user owing to motion injures self in the situation that head unit not inadvertently pivots.
For example, the user makes mixer head unit 108 be in hybrid position, and wherein, rotating control assembly 124 is speed setting value, and the mixed organization motion.Subsequently, the user depresses head release-push 131 and mixer head unit 108 is pivoted from hybrid position.This pivoting action causes microswitch, no longer be in hybrid position with indication mixer head unit 108, thereby controller automatically stops blender 100, and blender 100 is placed halted state.
In order to continue to mix, the user must be switched to hybrid position with mixer head unit 108, " suspends/beginning " button 24 by operation subsequently and continues to mix.Usually, blender 100 will continue with time and the speed setting value that approached before halted state.Yet if the user changed timer or speed setting value before continuing under halted state, the continuation of blender 100 will change consistent with these.
Advantage
The advantage of described embodiment is, when the function of cooking apparatus has been suspended, and the parameter of cooking apparatus " memory " cooking apparatus.Therefore, if the operator suspends cooking apparatus, then need to before continuing, not re-enter parameter.The energy that this has saved user's maneuver control device and must remember the machine setting value before suspending.
This can be particularly advantageous in following situation: the use pause that the user is desirably in cooking apparatus is with the state that checks processed food and/or to add other raw material.
