Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] 4 The present invention is intended to be an electronic control system that is finer than the stirring II. In one embodiment, the system has a readback sensor coupled to the mixing motor for conditioning and mixing performance. In another embodiment, the system includes a simplified user input method for effective quantitative scrambling. The invention can also be effectively integrated into a combined ice cuber/mixer system. Φ [Prior Art] The user's appeal is to obtain more and better functions of the two-way and commercial mixing and processing and mixing a wide range of foods and beverages. Drinks may include dairy products (e.g., milkshakes), smoothies (and, for example, frozen fruits), and frozen cocktails (e.g., daiquiris and margarita). Different raw materials to be mixed have different mixing characteristics. For example, some materials are easy to mix and mix quickly, while others are hard or lack uniformity and are very difficult to process and mix. • P Some advanced blenders in the field can be programmed for different applications. Throughout, the tax mixing program consists of several cycles, which have different mixing speeds and mixing times to achieve different effects. Since the existing agitator operates without a feedback mechanism, its efficiency is not considered, and the original may be excessively stirred or insufficiently stirred. Excessive agitation or insufficient agitation may be caused by a user's improper operation or batch variation of the raw materials to be processed and stirred. Excessive agitation results in a thinner final product, while insufficient agitation can result in a final product. The wide range of materials that the user wishes to agitate makes it difficult to produce a beverage of uniform composition. Another common problem with conventional blenders is their cavitation. 5 Ϊ 272367 At most times ‘ when aggregating media is added to the beverage, bubbles are formed in the mixture between the cutting fitting and the material to be stirred. The bubbles between the raw material and the cutting fitting cause the blade to fail to mix the raw materials, thereby destroying and reducing the agitation performance. This type of functional damage is called cavitation. The usual solution to cavitation is to allow the agitator to continue to operate until the bubble bursts (achieved via vibration and/or mixing of components). Alternatively, the container can be shaken to dispense the mixture and expel the bubbles so that the material to be agitated can be agitated by the cutting assembly. Another problem associated with the operation of the agitator is the programmability of the agitator cycle, especially for commercial mixers. There is a great interest in programmable agitators because the user can start the agitation by pressing a single button to achieve a preset cycle of automatic agitation. However, such a single compilation requires an understanding of the button—that is, which is the appropriate threat to harass a certain beverage. The determination of her correctness also varies according to the number of injuries to be won. Quantitative cakes can not be resolved by simply multiplying the number of parts required by the total number of cycles. There is also a problem with the specific appliance, which can cut ice and stir the knife with the shaved ice. The existing ice-cutter/mixer can be integrated to discuss similar complex programming capabilities. However, the user still has the problem of ^^ which is the problem of calculating the score of the _ and the stirring. The options that can be programmed. =: Yes: = and two r, / Winner encountered another ice. You u in the king of this combination do not plan the exact amount of stability of the crying r on the special U time or the weight of the _ product of ice shaving * on the _ ice will change. These potential imperfections only exacerbate the agitation problems already described in Γ272367 above. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the above disadvantages with the prior art "Lion Control System.

The speed of the win 11 will be slowed down from the low speed until the temperature is determined according to the dryness of the mixture. According to the medium in the lion 11 and the medium is pulverized into a homogeneous mixture, the climb of the reading speed will be faster. Or slower. When the device is cut and smashed, there will be a quick _. When the medium is changed by bamboo, it will decrease. Whether or not the light county is broken or not (4) - the alternative method is, for example, judged by horse vibration or torque. At the beginning of the mixing cycle, each of these fingers is relatively higher due to the smuggling of the s. When the mixture is 12 1272367, the quantitative metering with these motor operating properties will slow down and eventually stabilize. ^ At the time of the cedar, in the busy environment where the agitator was used, the operator was in the heart of the material, and the money was mixed. In doing so, the result is that the drink is very thin due to the extended mixing time. Another extreme is when the author is very rushing: stop stirring before getting the required self-sufficiency. It may be blocky and not well mixed. As previously mentioned and shown in Figures i and 2, the idealized curves of rotational speed, power, vibration, torque, and other measurable units associated with motor operation follow a similar or predictable path. Knowing these characteristics, it is possible to determine from the theoretical death that the mixing of the mixture is completed and when the cycle can be stopped. This rule also applies to texture (particle size) because it is possible to determine when to stop swimming to get the desired texture. By monitoring any or all of these features, it is possible to adjust the agitator to stop when the desired texture is obtained. By monitoring and recording these features, the signal can be compared to the scent of the first month. As previously described herein, a predetermined correlation can be found in the comparison of signals. Once the debt measures this pre-determined correlation, the agitator motor can be stopped. If a preset mutual _ is substantially the same as the recorded signal from the __, the mixture in the stirred tank is already uniform. Many times, especially when an easily dispensable medium is added to a beverage, bubbles are formed in the mixture, which is a cavitation phenomenon. Cavitation is usually remedy by allowing the agitator to continue to scramble until the bubble bursts (due to vibration and mixing of the material) or by loosening the mixture to loosen the mixture. 13 1272367 When the cavitation occurs, as a result of the formation of the bubble, the medium to be stirred - the towel is quickly lost to the knife #. When this type of voyage occurs, the speed of ‘speed rises rapidly and the motor-related dynamic A/torque/vibration and other items can quickly drop. Knowing these characteristics, you can use the = simple method to monitor when cavitation occurs. #media towel begins to form a cavitation phenomenon, adjust the speed of the device to shout light · in addition to cavitation. Once = is determined, the hole's speed allows the speed of the Lin motor to return to positive Lu $ to complete the normal cycle. By detecting when cavitation is occurring or about to occur, and further by adjusting the operation of the motor, the agitation time can be minimized and no human intervention is required. One way to measure these characteristics is to monitor the speed with a Hall effect sensor and a (single/multiple) pole magnet. Initially, when the medium has not been pulverized, the motor's - is unstable, and when the blade hits the medium in the tank, the motor's rotation speed is kept low on the same day. When the medium is pulverized, the speed becomes more and more consistent. The “change in the speed of the seeding can be used to determine to what extent the medium has been broken by the powder. By monitoring and recording the change in speed, the sensor can be stirred at the desired texture. This technique can also be used for determination. The process of mixing and adjusting the preset cycle. For example, if more media is added in the middle of the cycle, the control switch will detect more changes and continue to disturb until the change is reduced to The level of need or purpose. The Hall effect sensor is just one of many ways to detect these features. Just as using a feedback sensor can simplify the mixing process for the user, the improved user interface can also help. Accurate quantitative mixing. The term "quantitative scrambling is a common term referring to the number of servings of the material to be stirred by the user. The agitation fittings described herein that are capable of using the improved interface are typically lion fittings having a stirrer 1272367 tank and a collar motor operatively coupled to the fitting, the cutting fitting being disposed in the blending tank. The user interface is operatively coupled to the scramble motor: the user interface includes a plurality of first options corresponding to a preset "lion cycle. The user interface further includes a plurality of portions corresponding to raw materials that can be used by the lion. The second option of the number. The user only selects the preset agitator cycle and the number of parts to be disturbed, and then the agitator controller activates the preset agitation cycle for the raw material. The user has made the first choice of a certain agitation cycle. The specific power versus time curve or other indicators of the book will not be displayed. However: two =: f only select the type of raw materials to be stirred or the desired mixed drink = In the case of the second ice machine / coffee), the size of the product is sold, the money is 5 酉, Margarita, smoothie, 12oz., 16oz. etc. However, 'important, so the cycle of each batch of raw materials The amount is very high for the scramble cycle and the number of copies is usually displayed. The number of servings or the number of servings of the ingredients 盥## is usually proportional to the number of drinks formed in the figure: in the selected temple: the specific agitator cycle and the second choice / 4 & Inverted. Force ^ select the number of injuries. Of course 'this order can be another implementation Then, as shown in Figure 6, the type of _cycle and the choice of the number of copies. In the second: to = to move. - Once each selection is completed, it will not run in the opener. Or, The selection of η will then start running in the semi-preset mixing cycle. The start button, in each of the user-selected cycles, such as Α1'Λ^, the maximum 15 1272367 end of the mixing cycle can be Na's, the default _ mixing cycle. _ in Figure 5. Fu Shi patch, in the _ step process towel, the maker can choose twenty ^ = the same unique mixing cycle. In operation, each The cycle can be customized (preset) for the specific beverage and processing/lion beverage volume. Although the specific Her cycle or more may actually be a complement, this is not required. In addition, a preferred embodiment is that the agitator can retain the last and last cycle in the memory. In this case, the user or the agitator operator can change only zero, one or two of the specific drop operation options by pressing the start key to start the scramble cycle. For example, if the user wants to prepare the same type of beverage and the number of copies as the batch that was last completed, the user can press the -% button to initiate the previous cycle as before. Similarly, if only the type or number of servings of the beverage is different, only one option can be changed. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention prepares and stores a single and custom agitation cycle in the face, allowing the 帛_side indexing factor (drink ❿ factor) to be indexed by the use of a factor Multiply by the scrambled cycle curve 1 method, and allow each-stirty view to be recorded (parts) and be "adjusted" by eliminating the need for a specific scavenging cycle, corresponding to each - different beverage The separate, unique cycle of the number of copies requires that the cycle is more effective for multiple servings/parts and saves the computer's δ recall space. The principle of beverage indexation is the basic tilt cycle (usually Corresponding to a type of beverage, such as a Tactical (cocktail) or smoothie, is based on only one drink per serving. (Beverage indexing can be based on any number, but a single beverage/. is simple and intuitive to operate.) The agitation cycle is limited For a preset period of time, 'mix the motor to follow the speed change program. During the mixing cycle, 16 1272367 has several indications of the speed change. (1) Consistent, (2) with a special Regular jump/ramp, or (3) jump (9〇. enhancement) to a different speed. One of the poisons in these conditions is adjusted by the beverage index factor, the beverage index factor The time for each portion of the cycle is basically multiplied by a preset value. Referring to Figures 7A-7D, an embodiment of a beverage indexing program is shown. In Figure 7A, a simple agitation for a single serving of beverage is shown. Cycle. In this hypothetical embodiment the agitation cycle consists of five seconds running at 5000 RPM and then skipping to 10,000 RPM for another five seconds. If the user of the mixer chooses two servings (both portions) and two servings The beverage index factor is set to 1.3, then the cycle will be adjusted to run the agitator at 5 〇〇〇 ppM for 65 seconds 'and then jump to 10,000 RPM for another 6.5 seconds. In this embodiment, the speed The value is not affected. In other embodiments, the rotational speed value can also be indexed. As shown in Figures 7A through 7D, the beverage index factor for the two beverages (Figure 7A) is 1.3 'two copies (Figure 7C) is 1.6, And four copies (Figure 7D) are 1.8. For any The number of beverages to be dispensed may have different, preset inclination index bribes for each mixing cycle of different beverage media, and each beverage has its own specific skill. For example, the beverage may be relatively thinner than the _ side. Need more time _ mix more. In other words, # multiply the number of drinks when ice d can be more than the Tekley wine needs more mixing time. The choice of beverage index depends on the mixing motor, stirring The type of cans, cuts, etc. vary. The point is that the number of choices for the number of drinkers is - a subjective analysis that is determined first and then pre-set into the agitator unit. Of course, the agitator shown in Figures 7A-7D The loop is very simple to follow the example of 1272367. Other loops are familiar with the technique. The beverage index characteristics can also be made for these other Weis. As mentioned above, the beverage finger characteristics described herein are the steps of the mixing operation of the mixer. The beverage index is applied to the specific lion's speed, either outside or in an optional relationship.

(d) For the ice-cutter/mixer_ice component, there are other specific aspects to consider. At the beginning, the amount and number of copies selected by the user will determine the amount of ice-cutting of the ice-cutter components. In one embodiment, the amount of ice shaving is calculated from the rotational speed of the ice machine device. Therefore, the amount of phase cut should be phase _, _ silk is the amount of money that is _ with the number of times the ice knives are swept over the ice. The rotational speed of the ice device can be varied by the Hall effect sensor associated with the operatively fine ice I! motor 132. Also (3) other methods of using the speed of the ice stirring device. In addition, the ice shavings can be measured by other factors than the speed of the ice agitator. For example, the known method of determining the amount of ice shaving is determined by the weight of the ice. It is generally considered that the calculation of the amount of ice is best achieved by the speed of 19 1272367 of the Ice Winner. The timed operation of the ice-cutting device can be used to calculate the amount of ice-cutting. The amount of ice-cutting is known. Because the physical operation of ice-cutting can be reduced by itself, the _« falls. To > 'The motor rotation speed β caused by the change in the ice condition causes the amount of ice shaving to be inconsistent or in an unrepeated amount. Calculating the amount of ice cut by weight measurement will also result in a change in the amount of ice cut. Consider _ ice 5 stirring _ environment, the measurement tool will be vibrated or its financial style. For example, if the can is properly installed and/or if the machine is in a strong state, the amount of ice-cutting may become _ in the stirred tank. The method of measuring time and weight is based on time and weight. When measuring the amount of ice cutting, the speed count should not be affected by the above environmental factors and should provide more consistent and repeatable results. Specifically, the amount of ice that can be used to measure the amount of ice-cutting can be determined based on the amount of alcohol sold. These envelopes are used in ice/ice accessories. For example, in warmer climates, ice may be softer than ice in cooler or climate-controlled locations. • In addition, the amount of ice shaving can vary as described above with respect to the beverage index factor.
