Figure 21 is a block schematic, and it shows a plurality of parts according to the operation that can be used for mixer pedestal 32 of an aspect of the utility model.As described in more detail below, a user interface 222 is provided, it allows user's manual operation mixer 30 and/or from available a plurality of preprogrammed functions, selects.User interface 222 is connected to microcontroller 224, and this microcontroller 224 for example comprises: CPU (cpu) 226; Read-only storage 228 and nonvolatile memory 230, for example electric erasable programmable memory device (" E
2PROM ").Yet although these concrete parts have been described, microcontroller 224 can comprise makes it can carry out any software or the hardware component of multiple function described here.Microcontroller 224 is connected to power supply 232, motor 234 and display 236, and perhaps microcontroller 224 and power supply 232, motor 234 and display 236 are connected through the interface.
Motor 234 is connected to axle 201, and its operation rotating blade unit 112.Motor 234 can be unidirectional (only can activate in one direction or rotating blade unit 3) or two-way (on arbitrary direction, activating or rotating blade unit 112).Additionally, motor 234 can make blade unit 112 reciprocating vibrations.
Figure 22 shows can be with the motor 234 of mixer pedestal 32 uses
1The simplified electrical circuit diagram of an embodiment.Motor 234
1Have simplex winding magnetic field (wound field), and therefore only have two lead-in wires usually.In order to make motor 234
1Oppositely, the additional lead from motor is provided, said additional lead is separated the winding of motor and the rotor of motor.In case separate, then make epitrochanterian line oppositely cause motor reverse.Circuit shown in Figure 22 utilizes DPDT (DPDT) relay 240 to realize said function, and uses triode ac switch (triac) 242 to be used for speed controlling.
Figure 23 shows another simplex winding motor 234
2Replacement circuit.Replace DPDT relay 240 and triode ac switch 242, the simplex winding motor 234 among Figure 23
2Utilize four triode ac switch 242,244,246 and 248 to accomplish direction and speed controlling.
Although simplex winding motor 234
1, 234
2And relevant circuit is effective for their intended purposes work, but complexity and cost that to be to use a problem of this simplex winding motor be switch.
In order to overcome said problem, double-winding motor 234
3(Figure 24) can be used to this mixer pedestal 32.The difference of double-winding motor is that they have two independent windings on magnetic field, one for forwards to power is provided, another is for oppositely providing power.Additional winding has inappreciable cost, and only need in design, use 250,252, one of two triode ac switch to be used for forward, and one is used for backward.Greatly simplified control.
Motor 234 also can comprise sensor 254 (Figure 23).Sensor 254 is configured to provide relevant operating period to be applied to the information of the strain on the motor to microcontroller 224.Sensor for example hall effect sensor capable of using and magnet are made a simple tachometer with measuring speed, then actual speed and given value are come relatively to confirm whether motor operates in the reasonable part of torque-rate curve, thereby motor can the oneself cool off.If motor does not operate in this part, then sensor 254 sends a signal and gives microcontroller 224.Microprocessor 224 can use said information to change the routine that motor is moving, like subsequent introduction.
As in Figure 21, seeing, first and second sensing switch 66,67 are connected to microcontroller 224, or are connected through the interface with microcontroller 224.Sensing switch 66,67 is configured, and detecting on the mixer pedestal 32 whether have container, and what confirm on the mixer pedestal, to place is the container of which kind of type.For this reason, microcontroller 224 can determine whether to exist the type of container and/or container through the combination of (for example, through switch actuator 80) switch 66,67 of having activated.
For example, sensing switch 66,67 usually can be on the enable possition.In said embodiment, microcontroller 224 can be programmed, if make that switch is all not closed, then mixer pedestal 32 will not move.Yet; If one or two in the sensing switch 66,67 all be closed (for example; By switch actuator 80 closures), it is that the container of what container or which kind of type is on mixer pedestal 32 that then closed particular switch or a plurality of switch are accurately indicated to microcontroller.As an embodiment, when axle collar jar 34 being placed on 32 last times of mixer pedestal, sensor actuator 80 is pressed second sensing switch 67.Likewise, when being placed on the actuator axle collar on the mixer pedestal, the sensor actuator on the actuator axle collar 190 is pressed second sensing switch 67.On the contrary, when food processor 40 being placed on 32 last times of mixer pedestal, first sensor switch 66 is pressed.Yet another container can engage and press this two sensing switch 66,67.As described subsequently, microcontroller 224 can use this information of container to come as mixer pedestal 32 particular functionality to be provided, and perhaps even on display 236 relevant information is provided.
As described above, for the embodiment of the axle collar jar 34 shown in the accompanying drawing, a plurality of switch actuators 80 are set, make axle collar jar can in any direction be attached to mixer pedestal 32 and still trigger right sensors switch 67.Alternatively, can use a plurality of sensing switch and actuator only, but perhaps centered sensing switch and corresponding actuator.Under any circumstance, preferably, no matter the type of switch if each container is placed on the mixer pedestal 32 with various orientations, then all can activate this switch.
Read-only storage 228 is programmed to have various motors instructions (for example, direction of rotation, speed, duration, reverse rotation, reciprocating vibration etc.), and these instructions are designed to realize particular result.According to the function of mixer (for example, mixer is waited the final result or the purpose that are used to realize), together with the motor instruction grouping set of pre-programmed.For example, first memory section 260 can comprise and have the program of making necessary all the motor instructions of Sha's Sha's sauce (salsa); And second memory section 262 can comprise the program of drink being mixed necessary all motor instructions; Or the like.Can use any traditional programming language (for example C++, java etc.) to write the motor instruction or the routine of these pre-programmed.
Be one below and make the especially effectively embodiment of routine of Sha Sha sauce:
Sha Sha sauce
At a high speed, forward pulse: 1s
At a high speed, reverse impulse: 1s
Repeat 29 times
Sha Sha sauce of having found top series production has the batching of thorough chopping, but does not also have whole Qie Detai broken and make Sha Sha sauce meticulous.Through alternate forward direction and reverse impulse, the possibility that makes food contact with blade increases.Through only having the chopping of short pulse, Sha Sha sauce can not made meticulously.Although have been found that top program is effective, still can change (for example increasing the number of pulse or the length of pulse) to concrete taste (for example, coarse grain Sha Sha sauce, different batching etc.).First memory section 260 is held instruction for mixer pedestal 32, makes it can implement above-mentioned routine.
Figure 25-Figure 27 shows the embodiment of other routines.These figure show the example pre-programmed routine 264,266 and 268 that is used to make powder drink, pastel and milk shake respectively.Although found that shown process is effective for their intended purposes, can understand, the process that illustrates is embodiment, the variant of mixer routine also can be produced similar result.Routine 264,266 and 268 is write the executable instruction of mixer pedestal 32, and is stored in the discrete data section of read-only storage 228.As described subsequently, in case on user interface 222, selected the relevant desired function of mixer pedestal 32, then addressable and the routine of implementing pre-programmed.
Figure 28, Figure 29 and Figure 30 show the user interface 222 that can supply mixer pedestal 32 to use
1, 222
2, 222
3Example embodiment.Comprise LCD (" LCD ") 270 in a kind of type shown in Figure 29 and Figure 30.Shown in Figure 28 second type can use one or more light emitting diodes (" LED ") 272.To at first explain this three user interfaces 222
1, 222
2, 222
3Common trait, the difference between the said user interface is described subsequently.
The LCD of user interface 222 and LED variant comprise power switch 274, to switch on and off power supply.Start/stop switch 276 is also comprised, to open or to stop the operation of mixer.
A pulse switch 278 is provided, when it is pressed, causes temporary transient power peak to motor 234.Like this, pulse switch 278 as long as pulse switch keeps being pressed, need not to click start/stop switch 276 as transient state " unlatching " button, just can make the motor operation.Behind operation pre-programmed routine, also can press pulse switch 278, with the pre-programmed routine of operation continuous segment.For this reason, E
2PROM 230 comprises the program that stores the information of shutting an operation operation, and if this operation be the pre-programmed routine, then when pulse switch 278 is pressed, E
2PROM can select proper speed or operation to carry out.For example, for given pre-programmed routine (for example, Sha Sha sauce), continuous operation can be stored in (for example, direct impulse, 1s, reverse impulse, 1s subsequently) in the read-only storage 228.In case activation pulse switch 278, continuous function is operation just.Perhaps, employed last speed of pre-programmed routine and motor drive direction can be stored in E
2Among the PROM 230, and when the user pressed pulse switch 278 after the EP (end of program), then said operation can temporarily continue.Under any circumstance, the continuous function ongoing operation is until release pulses switch 278.
When pressing suspending/resuming switch 279 for the first time, it can be used to stop the operation (for example, the routine of pre-programmed) of mixer.When pressing suspending/resuming switch 279 for the second time, it is from stopping to recover the operation of mixer.
User interface 222
1, 222
2, 222
3Also comprise manual speed switch 280 (height) and 282 (low), make the user can manually control the speed and the operating time of blade unit 110, be not pre-programmed in other functions in the mixer to carry out.If expectation, the motor speed indicator can be provided for user interface 222
2, 222
3, make that the user can monitor the relative velocity (for example, the relative rotation speed of blade unit 110) of motor on LCD 270 when pressing manual speed switch 280 or 282.Such relative velocity can be by expressions such as literal, bar (bar), symbols.Through LED-based user interface 222
1, the relative velocity of motor can be (for example, high and low with respect to the speed mark by luminous LED 272; Drink, food; Deng) position indication, the perhaps alternatively relative flashing speed indication through luminous LED.
The switch 286 of a plurality of preprogrammed functions is included in the LED-based user interface 222 of Figure 28
1On.As described above, functional switch 286 representatives are pre-programmed in the various programs in the read-only storage 228 to multiple function or final result.For example; Press or touch the functional switch 290 that is designated " Sha Sha sauce "; With making the program that comprises the pre-programmed motor instruction that is used to make Sha Sha sauce in the memory section 260 of microcontroller 224 visit read-only storages 228; And microcontroller 224 is carried out speed, time out and/or the direction of said preprogrammed instruction (described instruction for example) with control motor 234.In order to remind the user moving which function or program, LED 292 can light the specific function switch 286 that is pressed.
The user interface 222 of the LED-based variant shown in Figure 28
1Can comprise progress indicator 294, the relative completeness that it comes instruction program through color, luminous LED or other suitable indicating devices.
As described above, user interface 222
2With 222
3Utilize display 236, for example the display of LCD (LCD) 270 or other types.In such embodiment, E
2The optional parameter of PROM230 storage user is used for the initial operation of mixer pedestal 32.When the mixer pedestal 32 with LCD270 was opened, LCD 270 was according to E
2PROM 230 program stored are initialised and are set up.In addition, E
2PROM 230 can comprise the program that allows literal on LCD 270, to show with multilingual (for example, English, Spanish) or unit (for example, metric system, English system).
E
2PROM 230 also can further comprise next canned data, thereby organizes the LCD menu, for example based on function or the program (for example, the foundation of " favorites list ") selected the most usually.Perhaps, E
2PROM 230 can keep the most recently used tabulation, thereby shows most recently used function or program.
In the example embodiment shown in Figure 29, use a plurality of functional switches 300 to select the various functions or the program of mixer based on the user interface of LCD.At this, arranging functional switch 300 is with corresponding at LCD 270
1Function/the program of the pre-programmed of last demonstration.In order to select LCD270
1The program that shows on the screen, the user only need press corresponding functional switch 300.
In the user interface 222 shown in Figure 30 based on LCD
3Another example embodiment in, use Navigational button 302 to select the various functions or the program of mixer.Navigational button 302 be arrow button (for example, backward, forward, upwards, downwards or arrow), it allows user to browse LCD 270
2Screen is until using selector switch 304 to select specific function/program.Progress indicator and/or manual speed indicator can be presented at LCD 270
2On the screen.
With reference to user interface 222
1, 222
2, 222
3Button, film or touch-sensitive buttons or switch that described various switch can be an any kind of well known in the prior art send signal or instruction, perhaps close circuit when it is pressed or touch by the user.In addition, if expectation, display 236 can be a touch-sensitive screen, and the user can come the input operation function through touch screen thus.Also can use additional control method, for example speech recognition program, Long-distance Control or other characteristics.
Microcontroller 224 can be programmed, thereby only implements particular functionality to detect which kind of container based on sensor 66,67.For example, have only the common mixer of working as or single part of container (for example, via the agitator axle collar 190) to be placed on the mixer pedestal 32, microcontroller 224 just can be programmed to implement only to be used to make the motor instruction of powder drink.Therefore, if sensor 66,67 detects the food processor container on the mixer pedestal 32, then microcontroller 224 will not allow to select and implement said powder drink program/function.Under these circumstances, if the user wants to use the food processor container to make the powder drink, then the user can use manual speed switch 280 and 282 manually to carry out.
Also can use sensor 66,67 and microcontroller 224 to confirm on display 236, to show which project.For example, if sensor 66,67 detects mixer (for example, the combination of the axle collar jar 34 or the agitator axle collar 190 and attached container), then the microprocessor indicated number is used for the pre-programmed routine of mixer.
The aspect that Figure 31 shows according to the utility model is used to use LED-based user interface 222
1Operate the method for mixer pedestal 32.From step 310 beginning, the user is at first through pressing power switch 274
1Energized.(for example with container and blade unit; Axle collar jar 34 and blade unit 112) suitably be fixed to after the mixer pedestal 32; Food or drink are loaded in the axle collar jar; In step 312, the user is through pressing the individual arbitrarily function/program of selecting the mixer pedestal of various functional switches 286 then.If there is not available specific function switch (for example, being not used in the Electric Machine Control of the pre-programmed of said function), then the user can manually control motor through manual speed switch 280 and 282.In addition, if when sensor 66,67 detects the container with the incompatible type of said function, the functional switch 286 that then pre-sets can not worked.Under said situation, also can use manual speed switch 280 and 282.LED 292 on the selected functional switch 286 lights, with the current selection of indication user.
In case successfully select a function, then press start/stop switch 276 in step 314
1With the operation that begins to be programmed.Based on the motor instruction that is stored in the pre-programmed that is used for selected function or program in the read-only storage 228, microcontroller 224 operation motors 234.As stated, the motor of pre-programmed instruction for example can comprise as give an order: how soon motor will move, the direction of blade rotation, blade direction of rotation reverse, along the duration of assigned direction rotation, the reciprocating vibration of blade unit etc.A soft start program 330 (Figure 21) is provided in the microcontroller 224; Be used for the acceleration of motor 234 control or slow to desired speed handling better or mixing than existing traditional mixer realizing; In wherein existing traditional mixer, motor accelerates to maximal rate as soon as possible.
Motor 234 moves during operating procedure 316, and when microcontroller 224 continued to carry out the motor instruction of pre-programmed, the process of program was displayed on the progress indicator 294.If expectation, sensor 254 can be used to confirm whether the speed of motor 234 exceeds the threshold quantity (step 318) with respect to the torque-rate curve of motor.If, microcontroller 224 indication motor 234 correspondingly then.For example, but microcontroller 224 indication motors close.Yet, according to an aspect of the utility model, for the routine of some pre-programmed, for example relate to those programs that open ice and cut ice, but microcontroller 224 indication motors are temporarily reverse, thereby remove the strain (step 320) that on motor, forms probably.This process can be back to operation (step 316) and proceeds then.If can only attempting set point number (for example, twice), expectation, microprocessor make motor 234 reverse and shift out motor 234.
In step 322, the user can press suspending/resuming switch 279
1, temporarily to stop the operation of mixer.This program is remained valid; But the enforcement of the motor of pre-programmed instruction is suspended and this state is stored; Make that when pressing suspending/resuming switch 26 once more operational block 36 place's microcontrollers 15 will stop to recover this program from this program simply at square 35 places.Thereby; For example; If this program comprises the motor instruction with the pre-programmed of 60rps electric rotating machine and lasting 10s; And be in step 322 and press the suspending/resuming switch when this program is carried out 5s, then when pressing suspending/resuming switch 26 again at square 35 places, motor will recover rotation and continue other 5s to finish this program then with 60rps.
If this operation is not suspended, then this program continues simply, until accomplish all pre-programmed motor instructions that are used for said function or program at step 324 place.Can send the termination sound reminds the user that this program is accomplished.Continue the random time section if the user is unsatisfied with and wants to continue this identical program to the result, then the user can press pulse switch 278 after EP (end of program)
1
The user can close mixer at step 326 place, thus perhaps at step 314 place through in axle collar jar 34, pack into new material then selection function/program begin this process again.
Figure 32 shows having based on LCD user interface 222 according to an aspect of the utility model
2Or 222
3The logical flow chart of operation of mixer pedestal 32.At first come opening power through pressing power switch 274 at step 332 place.Then at step 334 place, display options menus on LCD 270 (Figure 33).During each opening power, but the display standard menu depends on that perhaps which kind of container that sensor 66,67 detects is placed on the pedestal 2, and menu can change.For example, if sensor 66,67 is discerned mixer containers (for example, axle collar jar 34) on mixer pedestal 32; Then LCD menu 270 (for example can show the mixer function; Shown in figure 33, the selection between drink and the food) but not food processor function (for example, fruit, vegetables etc.).This menu also can comprise the option that is used to select which kind of language to be shown or linear module.In addition, depend on function or program that the user the most frequently selects, menu can be set up.Described like preceding text, E
2PROM 230 can be programmed to remember the most frequently used selection and to begin the place in each operation showing that these selections select for the user.
In step 336, the user uses Navigational button 302 to browse the LCD menu, and uses selector switch 304 to make a choice, and perhaps the simple function of use switch 300 of user makes a choice.If on menu, there is not specific function, then the user can manually control this motor through manual speed switch 280 and 282.If be not used in the Electric Machine Control of the pre-programmed of a function,, then can not show said function if be disabled perhaps for the said function of sensor 66,67 detected Container Types.
