Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 4 below, the controller and its working method are explained.

Figure 2 shows two or more vibration generators (210) suitable for the applications described here. shows the sematic view of an eye 110 and measuring device 130 having

The controller of the cooking appliance has two or more vibration generators 120 and measuring connected to the device (130). The controller displays measurement results or data from the meter (130) signals and, on the basis of the measurement results, combines two or more vibration generators. (120) controls. The controller includes two or more vibration generators 120, in particular from the measuring device 130 to control a vibration frequency associated with them. a control algorithm that uses measurement results or data signals as input can apply.

In some embodiments, the controller is a threshold temperature of temperature in at least one chamber (110). at least one vibration generator from two or more vibration generators (120) configured to activate. For example, a cooking appliance such as an induction cooker When activated, the metal container and food on the compartment are heated. Threshold automatically using two or more vibration generators (120) after the temperature has been reached. The mixing process is started. Threshold temperature is about 30°C or more, specifically about 40”C or more, specifically about 50”(3 or more, and even more specific It can be approximately 60°C or more.

In some applications, the controller controls two or more vibration generators 120 individually. It is being configured to run and/or drive. In other words, the controller consists of two or controlling more vibration generators (120) independently of each other and/or can be configured to last. For example, two or more vibrations to control the vibration amplitude and/or vibration frequency of the generator 120 can be configured. The amplitude of a vibration generator is typically controlling or regulating the voltage or voltage level supplied to the generator can be controlled via

In some embodiments, two or more vibration generators 120 form a first vibration generator 122 and a second vibration generator 124. the first vibration mentioned The generator 122 and the second vibration generator 124 are interconnected, for example, around the eye 110. can be located in the neighboring section.

In some embodiments, the controller may set the first vibration generator 122 for a first time period. at a first frequency throughout. it can be configured to operate with a first amplitude.

When the first time period has elapsed, the controller switches said first vibration generator (122) to a a second greater than the first amplitude at the first frequency during the second time period amplitude and the second vibration generator (124) during the second time period frequency, it can be configured to operate simultaneously with the first amplitude.

The second vibration generator 124 may not be operated during the first time period.

The controller also switches off the first vibration generator (122) after the second time period has elapsed. to turn off the second vibration generator 124 for a third time period. frequency, second amplitude can be configured to operate. third time A third vibration generator 126 during the period of time at the first frequency, with the first amplitude can be operated. Said third vibration generator 126 is the first time period and can be turned off during the second time period. Second vibration generator (124) It can be located between the vibration generator (122) and the third vibration generator (126). Specific In turn, the first vibration generator 122 is located adjacent to the second vibration generator 124. and the third vibration generator (126) is adjacent to the second vibration generator (124). may be included in the section.

In this direction, two or more vibration generators 120 can be set in succession, e.g. (10) repeatedly clockwise or counterclockwise can be operated. For example, no more than two of two or more vibration generators (120) one of them is run at the same time (as it can be understood, in other examples three or more vibration generator can be operated simultaneously). In particular, neighboring vibration generators (120) basically at the same frequency, but simultaneously with different amplitudes. can be operated. After a predetermined period of time, the highest amplitude vibration generator is turned off, the amplitude of the lowest amplitude vibration generator is lower. being raised to a high amplitude, and a previously non-working vibration generator is lower is widely operated. After all of the predetermined time period has passed together the state or pattern of operation around the eye 110, for example clockwise or moves in the counter-clockwise direction. In this way, the content in the container or bowl is activated and the content is mixed.

In some applications, the first time period and/or the second time period can be between 100 ms and It can be in the range of 500 ms to 1500 ms. First amplitude 1 V to 7 V, specific It can be in the range of 4 V to 6 V, in one example about 5 V. Second The amplitude can be in the range of 8 V to 15 V, specifically 11 V to 13 V, a In the example, it can be about 12 V. The first frequency ranges from 10 Hz to 2000 Hz, may be in the range.

Referring to Figure 2 for a better explanation of the above, the threshold temperature After reaching the vibration motor 1 (122) for a certain period of time (e.g. 500 can be activated. Voltage level of vibration motor 1 (122) eg from 5 V to 12 V When amplified, the vibration motor 2 (122) has essentially the same frequency and amplitude. is activated. After a certain period of time, vibration motor 1 (122) turns off. is excluded, and the amplitude of vibration motor 2 (122) is for example from 5 V to 12 V. is being raised. When the voltage level of vibration motor 2 (124) is increased from 5 V to 12 V vibration motor 3 (126) is activated with the same frequency and amplitude. This is a loop can continue as follows. Amplitude flicker, for example 12 V flicker around the eye, for example, following the circular direction of the eye in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. is doing.

In the above examples, two or more vibration generators 120 are basically at the same frequency, In other words, it is operated at the first frequency. However, the current explanation it is not limited to this, and the neighboring generators are different, such as a first frequency and a second frequency. operating frequencies. The first frequency may be higher than the second frequency. or this second frequency may be higher than the first frequency.

Figure 3 shows the meter supplied by the meter suitable for the applications described here. Two or more vibration generators by the controller, for example by the microcontroller can be repeatedly controlled around the eye. Measuring device, eg strain gauge or strain gauge strip can provide periodic data signal because circular motion vibration (liquid) causes a circular motion in the food and the two end points of the strain gauge produces two pulse data for one circular revolution. Periodic data signal after a while, for example, after the controller starts operating the vibration generator(s) can be obtained after the time period has elapsed. Specifically, at a certain time It can guarantee the acquisition of a stable and full periodic signal.

Examples of periodic data signals are shown in Figure 3 (against the measured amplitude (y-axis) time axis (x axis)). Two or more pulsations from the controller periodic data signal one or more of the generator, such as the vessel or stone on the vei'or eye, frequency and/or amplitude. can extract more vibration characteristics. The controller e.g. periodic data signal on at least one eye, and in particular one or more flicker features. to extract the resonance or resonance frequency of the contents in the cabinet and container is being configured. The controller then detects the contents (liquid or semi-solid) in the container or bowl. liquid) resonance or resonance frequency to mix the contents effectively based on the vibration frequency of two or more vibration generators, for example the first frequency can edit. For example, the periodic data of the strain gauge (fstrains) for example, the vibration of vibration generators It can be used to provide feedback for adjusting the frequency.

The vibration frequency can be expressed by the following equation: My vibration 'n fstraintc-L-r where n denotes a coefficient and n can be an integer such as 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

Coefficient relative to resonance (eg maximum strain gauge pulses, see Figure 3) can be selected by the controller. The coefficient of n is related to the density of the liquid or semi-liquid food. Determination of resonance or resonance frequency, due to resonance occurring especially useful for liquid or semi-liquid foods. However, the current clarification or semi-liquid foods and can also be used in solid foods. solid foods If so, the process of determining the resonant frequency may not be included.
