RU149651U1 - MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ELECTRIC CONTROL MODULE FOR PRODUCT THERMAL PROCESSING - Google Patents

Abstract

The control module of the electric multifunctional device for heat treatment of products located in the housing of the specified device, the findings of which are connected to the weight measuring unit, characterized in that a calorie counter is entered into the control module, and information about the nutritional value of at least one is entered into the memory of the control module food product.

Description

The proposed technical solution relates to the field of food industry, namely to kitchen appliances, and first of all to electric multifunction devices for thermal (thermal) processing of products.

Today, people began to pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating. Someone adheres to some kind of diet in order to lose weight or to be in good shape, someone for the same purposes just calculates the daily rate of calories needed by a person. However, in that and in another case, people are faced with the need to accurately determine the nutritional value of products, as well as the finished dish. Previously, you had to use calorie tables to calculate calories. This is not difficult if you need to calculate a simple dish, such as pasta with meat. And for complex recipes, calculating calories from tables could take a lot of time. A dish can easily consist of 6-10 ingredients and calculating it according to classical tables seems to be a rather tedious task.

Kitchen scales REDMOND RS-712 are known from the prior art. In addition to weighing products, they show complete information about the calorie content and composition of 999 types of food products.

In addition to the above, there are a number of models of scales produced by various manufacturers, for example, Digatal Scale scales, which provide complete information on the nutritional value of products (calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, cholesterol, sugar, sodium, glycemic index).

Also known is a patent for utility model No. 135240 dated 08/27/2013, IPC A47J 27/00, taken as a prototype owned by POLARIS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED Limited Liability Company Electric Multicooker, where an electric multicooker with a housing with a heating element is registered and a removable container for cooking located in the housing, while the control module is located in the housing, the terminals of which are connected respectively to the output of the power module, designed to connect to the electric heating network vital elements; with the conclusion of the display unit; with the output of the temperature sensor and the manual control unit, as well as with the weight measuring unit associated with the weight sensor. The disadvantage of the proposed utility model is the inability to determine the nutritional value (calorie content) of foods and dishes in general, for which the user needs to purchase special tables or devices that can calculate the nutritional value (calorie content) of individual products.

The use of a calorie counter in electrical multifunctional devices for thermal (thermal) processing of products from the prior art is not known today.

The technical solution is the introduction to the control module located in the housing of the electrical device for the thermal (thermal) processing of products, the outputs of which are connected respectively to the weight measuring unit, a calorie counter that allows you to accurately calculate the nutritional value of the prepared dish, for example: calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates cholesterol by connecting it to a control module.

Information on the nutritional value of at least one food product, including information on the number of calories, as well as the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, cholesterol per 100, is entered into the memory of the control module of the device for thermal (heat) processing of products with a weight measuring unit g of product.

The essence of the device operation is shown on the example of a multicooker with a weight measuring unit:

The user sets up an empty food container, which is then placed inside the device with the weight measuring unit at a place specially designed for this purpose in the device, and resets the weight (usually a button or a combination of buttons, or an entered program). Then he puts the product, for example, 500 g of carrots, into the food container and selects “Carrot” on the display from the list entered in the device’s memory. After that, information on the nutritional value of the pledged product is displayed on the display of the device. So, for example, the nutritional value of 100 g of carrots is: proteins - 1.3 g, fats - 0.1 g, carbohydrates - 6.9 g, cholesterol - 0, calorie content - 32 kcal. Thus, the user will see the following information on the nutritional value of 500 g of carrots on the display: proteins - 6.5 g, fats - 0.5 g, carbohydrates - 34.5 g, cholesterol - 0, calorie content - 160 kcal. Further, this information is entered into the RAM of the device by pressing the "MK" button on the control panel or automatically after clicking the "New Product" button. In order to add the next product, the user needs to click the "New Product" button on the control panel, which will lead to the resetting of the information previously displayed on the display. After that, the user places the next product he needs in the bowl and repeats the above procedure. When all the ingredients have been added, the user presses the “SUM” button on the control panel, after which all information about the products being laid down is summed up in the device’s memory and the total weight, as well as the total nutritional value of all products stored in the device (calorie content, protein content, fats, carbohydrates, cholesterol).

The calorie counter introduced into the control module, located in the body of the electrical device for thermal (thermal) processing of products, the outputs of which are connected respectively to the weight measuring unit, allows you to control the nutritional value of the products, as well as the food as a whole (calorie content, protein, fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fiber), has ease of use, and also does not require special tables or devices that determine the number of calories and nutritional value of products.
