Please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3 in combination with fig. 9, in which an embodiment of the present application discloses a food processor. The food processor comprises a water tank assembly 10, a host assembly 20, a stirring cup assembly 30, a slurry receiving cup assembly 40 and a controller 50. The host assembly 20 includes a motor 201. The stirring cup assembly 30 is assembled to the host assembly 20, and includes a stirring cup 301 and a stirring blade assembly 302 assembled to the stirring cup 301. The water tank assembly 10 is assembled to the main unit assembly 20, and includes a water tank 1 and a conductive member 2. The water tank 1 supplies water to the blender cup 301, and includes a water chamber 11 for containing water. The blending blade assembly 302 is driven by the motor 201 to make the water and food in the blending cup 301 into slurry. The slurry receiving cup assembly 40 comprises a slurry receiving cup 401, the slurry receiving cup 401 is communicated with the stirring cup 301, and the slurry flows into the slurry receiving cup 401. Slurry cup assembly 40 is to be understood broadly in this application as being capable of holding slurry, e.g., only slurry, in which case slurry cup assembly 40 includes only slurry cup 401; for example, the slurry receiving cup assembly 40 may contain slurry and heat the slurry, and in this case, the slurry receiving cup 401 and a heating component, etc. are included.

Referring now to fig. 4, 6 and 7 in combination with fig. 5, 9 and 3, the tank 1 includes a water chamber 11 and a tank outer surface 12. The conductive member 2 is located on the outer surface 12 of the water tank 1. How the conductive member 2 is located on the outer surface 12 of the tank may be performed in various ways, for example, by fixing the conductive member 2 to the outer surface 12 of the tank by a screw or the like, or by injection molding the tank 1 and the conductive member 2 such that the conductive member 2 is located on the outer surface 12 of the tank. The conductor 2 is used for measuring the level of the liquid (also understood as water volume) in the water chamber 11, for example, by capacitive measurement.

The controller 50 is connected to the conductive member 2 (the thick dotted line in fig. 9 indicates that the conductive member 2 is connected to the controller 50), so that the controller 50 can determine whether the amount of water in the water chamber 11 is sufficient, and control the water tank assembly 10 to supply water into the blender cup 301 and perform corresponding actions according to the cooking program and/or the washing program when the amount of water satisfies the amount of water required for the cooking program and/or the washing program (the washing program includes, for example, washing the blender cup 301; the cooking program includes, for example, making the slurry). The execution of the corresponding action is determined according to the cooking program or the washing program, for example, the cooking program is executed, the corresponding action is to control the stirring blade assembly 302 to rotate after water is supplied to make slurry, discharge slurry and the like, and the washing program is executed to control the stirring blade assembly 302 to rotate after water is supplied to wash the stirring cup 301. The skilled person will understand that, for the food processor, only one of the cooking program and the cleaning program may be used, or both of them may include, for example, the cooking program is executed and then the cleaning program is executed. How to control the water tank assembly 10 to supply water to the mixing cup 301 can be done in various ways, for example, the water tank assembly 10 includes a water outlet valve, the controller controls the water outlet valve to open, the water can be supplied to the mixing cup 301, the controller controls the water outlet valve to close, and the water cannot be supplied to the mixing cup 301. Various circuits can be used for the controller 50 to determine the amount of water, for example, fig. 10 And 11 illustrate a circuit for determining the amount of water, in which AD1 to And correspond to different liquid levels (i.e., different amounts of water). The controller can clean the blender cup 301 according to the PWM signal. The amount of water needed to clean the blender cup 301 is determined based on the food currently being made by the consumer, and the cleaning process is only performed if the amount of water is met. For example, when the consumer has made a milkshake at present, the controller 50 may determine whether the water amount in the water chamber 11 satisfies a water amount required for cleaning the mixing cup 301 that has made the milkshake, and in case of satisfying the water amount, clean the mixing cup 301, and similarly, if the food that is made at present is soybean milk, the controller may determine whether the water amount satisfies the water amount required for cleaning the mixing cup 301 that has made the soybean milk, and in case of satisfying the water amount, clean the mixing cup 301. Similar to the above reason, the required amount of the soybean milk is determined according to the currently prepared food, for example, the water amount required for preparing soybean milk and fruit juice is different. With such an arrangement, since the controller 50 can determine whether the water amount in the water chamber 11 meets the water amount required by the cooking program and/or the cleaning program through the conductive member 2, and execute a corresponding action (for example, cleaning the stirring cup 301) under the meeting condition, the situation that the stirring cup 301 is not cleaned cleanly or slurry cannot be made due to insufficient water amount in the water tank 1 is not easy to occur, and therefore, the user experience can be improved. In addition, since whether the water amount satisfies the water amount required by the cooking program and/or the washing program is judged according to the cooked food, the corresponding action is performed only when the water amount required by the cooking program and/or the washing program is satisfied. Therefore, the corresponding water amount can be provided according to different food materials, and the user experience can also be improved.

In a further embodiment, in case the water amount in the water chamber 11 does not satisfy the water amount required for the cooking procedure and/or the washing procedure (e.g. the water amount required for washing the blender cup), the controller 50 controls the food processor to send a prompt message and/or stop working. The prompt message may be a prompt to the consumer to add water to the water chamber 11 of the water tank 1. The stop is, for example, the food processor does not start to prepare food. Of course, the reminding information can be sent out by means of voice or the like, and the work can be stopped. So set up, through sending prompt message and/or stop work, further improve user experience, for example, after making soybean milk or milk shake etc. when the water yield is not enough, remind the user to add water, finally have sufficient water to wash stirring cup 301, reach the sanitization's purpose, it brings the convenience to use for the later stage. For another example, when the amount of water for making the slurry is insufficient, the user is reminded to add water in time, so that the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment, one of the main unit assembly 20 and the tank assembly 10 is provided with a probe member 3 and the other is provided with a mating member 4. The controller 50 controls the food processor to stop working and/or give out a prompt when the matching piece and the detecting piece are not connected. So set up, at the detected 3 with under the condition that fitting piece 4 is not connected, show that tank assembly 10 does not place on host computer subassembly 20, under this condition, controller 50 does not carry out corresponding culinary art procedure and/or washing procedure, therefore, except can judging whether the water yield in water cavity 11 satisfies the required water yield of washing agitator cup 301, the cooking machine can also judge whether tank assembly 10 places on host computer subassembly 20, further improves user experience, for example, can not wash agitator cup 301 under the condition that tank assembly 10 does not place at host computer subassembly 20. The connection between the detecting element 3 and the mating element 4 may be a physical connection, for example, a plug connection, or a wireless connection, for example, one of them is a magnet and the other is a hall element.

Referring back to fig. 9, in a further embodiment, the controller 50 controls the food processor to operate to supply water to the mixing cup 301 when the detecting member 3 and the matching member 4 are connected (the connection relationship is shown by thin dashed lines in fig. 9). For example, the food processor is controlled to start cleaning the mixing cup 301. Of course, the processor can be controlled to supply water into the blender cup 301 to make the slurry. So set up, the cooking machine can work under the condition of placing water tank set spare 10, and send out prompt message and/or do not work under the condition of not placing host computer subassembly 20, further improve user experience.

The detecting member 3 and the mating member 4 are variously configured, for example, a pressure sensing member, etc., based on the function of the detecting member 3 and the mating member 4 for detecting whether the water tank assembly 10 is placed on the main assembly 20. The detecting member 3 and the mating member 4 can be integrated with the outlet valve of the water tank 1 and the valve seat of the main unit 20 abutting against the outlet valve.

Referring now to fig. 9 and 1 in conjunction with fig. 2 and 3, the host assembly 20 includes a host base 202. The motor 201 is assembled in the host base 202. The main unit base 202 includes a base rear wall 2021 that contacts the tank assembly 10. With reference to the consumer, the part of the food processor facing the consumer is the front, and the base rear wall 2021 is the part of the food processor facing away from the consumer. The controller 50 is disposed in the main body base 202 and faces the base rear wall 2021. This arrangement further makes the path of the electrical circuit shorter and less susceptible to interference, and the controller 50 is located in the main body chassis 202 and faces the chassis rear wall 2021, which also facilitates the layout of other components of the main body assembly 20, such as the layout of the power board, the motor 201, and the like.

Referring now to fig. 4 and 5 in conjunction with fig. 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the tank 1 includes a tank bottom 13. The conductive member 2 is inserted into the tank bottom 13. A fixing structure is arranged between the water tank bottom 13 and the conductive piece 2. The fixing structure fixes the conductive member 2 in a direction perpendicular or oblique to the insertion direction of the conductive member 2. Fig. 7 illustrates that the conductive member 2 is inserted into the water chamber 11 from a vertical direction, and the fixing structure fixes the conductive member 2 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction (horizontal direction). With this arrangement, since the fixing structure is formed between the tank bottom 13 and the conductive member 2, the conductive member 2 is fixed in both the insertion direction and the direction inclined or perpendicular to the insertion direction, and the connection of the conductive member 2 to the tank 1 is more secure. The specific structure of the fixing structure is not limited based on the function of the fixing structure.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8 in conjunction with fig. 4, 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the conductive member 2 includes an insertion section 21 inserted into the bottom 13 of the water tank, and the insertion section 21 includes a through hole 211 penetrating through the insertion section 21. The conductive piece 2 and the water tank 1 are injection molded to form a fixing column 14 penetrating through the through hole 211, and the fixing structure comprises the through hole 211 and the fixing column 14. In the case of injection molding, the conductive member 2 is provided with a process hole 24. The tooling holes 24 are used for positioning during the injection molding process. So set up, through will electrically conductive 2 with 1 injection moulding of water tank and form fixed knot constructs, like this, not only fixed knot constructs simply, moreover, electrically conductive 2 fixed more firm, moreover, through the mode of moulding plastics, the leakproofness is good between electrically conductive 2 and the water tank 1, also need not set up seal structure again. Although the fixing structure is formed by injection molding in the present embodiment, the skilled person will understand that the fixing structure may not be formed by injection molding, and the conductive member 2 may be fixed in a direction perpendicular to or oblique to the insertion direction of the conductive member 2, for example, a structure in which some insertion posts and insertion holes are matched.

With continuing reference to fig. 6 and 7 in conjunction with fig. 4, 5 and 8, the tank outer surface 12 includes an outer side surface 121 and an outer bottom surface 122 connected to the outer side surface 121. The conductive member 2 includes an insertion section 21, a first extension section 22, and a second extension section 23. The insertion section 21 is inserted into the tank bottom 13. The first extension segment 22 is connected to the insert segment 21 and extends along the outer bottom surface 122. The second extension 23 is parallel to the insertion section 21 and is located on the same side of the first extension 22 as the insertion section 21. With the above arrangement, the controller 50 and the conductive device 2 are connected in a short path, so that interference is not likely to occur, and the conductive device 2 is more firmly assembled to the water tank 1 due to the adoption of the above structure of the conductive device 2.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5 in combination with fig. 8, the conductive member 2 is in the shape of a long plate. With such an arrangement, the conductive member 2 is made of less material, is low in cost, and is easier to assemble with the outer surface 12 of the water tank 1.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5 in conjunction with fig. 8, the second extension 23 extends in a vertical direction. So configured, the path between controller 50 and conductive member 2 is shorter, and the cost of conductive member 2 is also lower. Of course, in some embodiments, the second extension 23 may not extend in the vertical direction in case the insertion section 21 is inserted into the tank bottom 13.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not to be construed as limiting the present application, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the present application.
