- FIG. 9 is a cross section through line A-A of FIG. 8.
- a combination juicer and blender 10 comprises a motorised base 11, a juicing head 12 and a blending head 13.
- the motorised base is seen as having a safety bar or locking bar 14, a multi function user operated controller 15 and a dual function coupling 16.
- the blending head 13 may be assembled on to the top of the motorised base 11.
- the safety bar 14 has been rotated into a fully upright orientation. In the upright orientation, the safety bar is received and retained by one or more retention detents 21 that protrude from an exterior surface from the blender head.
- the safety bar 14 comprises a pair of metallic uprights 24 that are
- the orientation of the safety bar 14 is sensed by a mechanism 23 internal to the base that cooperates with a processor or switching arrangement 26.
- the processor or switching arrangement 26 also cooperates with a user operated control 15.
- the detent 21 on the blender has vertical features that receive a small horizontal stub 72 that extends radially inward from a lower portion of the locking bar.
- the vertical features of the detent 21 on the blending head mimic the vertical features on the juicing head's cap 48, 49.
- the base 11 contains a vertically oriented or upright electric motor 31 that drives an external coupling 32.
- the coupling 32 is adapted to receive a pinion like stub shaft or male coupling component 33 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the blender head.
- a magnet 34 is located directly or nearly adjacent to a lower surface of the blender head. Because of the mechanical cooperation between the blender head and the motorised base 11, the blender head may only be oriented one way with respect to the base 11. In this correct or "seated" orientation, the presence of the magnet 34 can be detected by a Hall effect sensor 35 that cooperates with the processor 26. A recognition signal sent by the Hall sensor 35 causes the processor 26 to alter the way that the user control of the base's motor 31 operates, that is, from a first or juicer mode to a second or blender mode.
- the motorised base will also accept a juicing head 12.
- the juicing head lacks a magnetic trigger or target for the Hall sensor 35 and therefore, the processor will operate in the aforementioned first mode when the juicing head 12 is in place.
- the juicing head 12 comprises a juice collector vessel 41 having a spout 42.
- the juicer collecting vessel is covered by a cap or lid 43 having a feed tube 44.
- the cap or lid is transparent or "see through" and the feed tube is fabricated from stainless steel and affixed to the cap.
- the feed tube 44 receives a pusher 45.
- the lid or cap 43 has an extension 46 that assists in the diversion of unwanted pulp into a removable pulp collector 47.
- the pulp collector has a surface that conforms to the rounded external shape of the base 11.
- the upper surface of the cap further comprises a detent 40 with a ramped surface 49.
- the detent is able to receive and temporarily secure the safety bar 14. The motor will only operate when the safety bar 14 is in a fully upright orientation.
- the upper surface of the base contains a notch or grove 51 for receiving the spout 42 of the juicing head 12.
- the rotating grating disk and filter basket will engage the outside diameter 52 of the base's coupling 32.
- the central void 53 of the coupling is used, in this example, only for the blender's corresponding male coupling part and is not used with the juicing head.
- the rim oriented features that used to drive the juicer's grating disk and filter basket are not used (see FIG. 6).
- an upper surface 61 of the motorised base 11 comprises a contoured surface that includes one or more locating depressions 62 for receiving cooperating features of the blender head.
- the cooperation of the depressions 62 and the blender head features force the blender head into a single orientation in which the blender head can be properly seated against the base.
- a small depression 63 may be located above the Hall sensor 35 on the upper surface of the base 11.
- the various orientation depressions 62 may also be used to orient and secure the juicing head.
- FIG. 6 clearly illustrates the rotating coupling 32.
- the central recess 53 is seen as having internal teeth or splines etc 64 for engaging or cooperating with the external teeth or splines formed on the blender's male coupling counterpart 33.
- This same coupling 32 also has spaced apart longitudinal grooves 65 for cooperating with features on the female coupling component of the juicing head. Retractable steel ball bearings, biased radially outward with
- compression springs may be used to firmly seat the juicing head's coupling and provide tactile feed-back.
- the motorised base 11 features a user operated control 15 on an exterior location.
- the control 15 comprises a rotary knob or dial 71 that also operates as a push switch. Rotation of the knob 71 corresponds generally to motor speed for the first mode or juicing mode but also acts as a blender program selector when in the second mode. It will be appreciated that the control over the motor including motor speed and various motor programs are achieved by having microprocessor control over the motor or its speed controller. It will also be appreciated that one of the benefits of the invention is being able to utilised the same user control in different ways, depending upon which appliance head is located on the base. In this example, a rotating knob that also acts as a push button is provided. In other
- a touch screen may be provided.
- the display and interactive capability of the touch screen may be determined by the above method, i.e. determined according to detection (or not) of a particular appliance head. This may be done with a magnet and a Hall sensor or by other means as are commonly known in the art.
- the determination of which appliance head is present may also be accomplished in a variety of ways, that is, by using micro switches, optical sensors or RFID.
- the rotational position of the knob 71 merely acts to increase the motor speed, continuously, within a range indicated by visible numerals "1-5" 73.
- the processor utilises the outputs from the user control 15 in a different way.
- the second mode or blender mode controls (indicated by the rotating knob 71) comprise well known blender functions such as the
- the blender will operate in accordance with the following processor program.
- the motor will cycle automatically between high and low speeds for predetermined intervals over a set time of approximately one minute.
- the alternation between high motor speed and slower motor speed optimises both the liquification of the ingredients within the blender as well as agitating the entire contents of the blender to achieve uniform mixing and breakdown of the blender contents.
- Both the juicing head and the blender head have only one correct orientation with respect to the motorised base. This is to ensure that the locking bar or safety bar 14 can be utilised for both heads.
- the motorised base of the present invention is adapted to be used in conjunction with other types of appliance heads.
- a variety of different appliance heads can be used so long as the appliance can be driven by the aforementioned external coupling 32, be mountable on the base 11, and interact with the safety bar 14 and sensor 35.
- a "generic" appliance head 80 is depicted as being mounted upon the base 11 in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9.
- the head 80 is seen as having retention detents 21 located at the lower extremity 81 of the head similar to those disclosed with reference to the blender in FIG.
- the ramped detents 21 receive inward facing projections 82 of the safety bar 14 and thus prevent operation of the motor unless the safety bar is in the fully upright orientation. As suggested by FIG. 8, the head 80 must fit within the confines of the safety bar when it is in the upright orientation. As shown in FIG. 9, the motorised base 11 may be provided with two sensors (such as hall
- the second sensor 91 is also located internally of the base 11 and interacts with a magnet or other target 92 located within the body 93 of the appliance head 80.
- the interaction between the magnet 92 and the second hall sensor 91 causes a third type of graphic display to be generated.
- the appliance head 80 is depicted as having a working part 94 such as a chopper or grinding head arrangement that presents an external male coupling element 95.
- the appliance head's coupling element 95 is received within the central recess 53 of the base's coupling 32.
- disclosed embodiments can provide a motorised based that accepts both a juicing head a blending head. It will be further appreciated that disclosed embodiments can provide a motorised base that can selectively detect the presence of either juicing head or a blending head alters the configuration of a control on the base according to what is detected.
