A blender with a display panel is provided to effectuate presentations of visual content. Exemplary implementations may: receive a first type of user input through the control interface; make detections regarding the user input received through the control interface; effectuate presentation of visual content on the display panel, responsive to a first detection of the first type of detections; and/or perform other operations.

The present disclosure relates to an overflow structure of a kitchen appliance. A motor is assembled in a mainframe of the kitchen appliance. A mainframe upper cover is disposed above the motor, and the mainframe upper cover is connected to the mainframe and is used to place a container cup assembly, a shaft of the motor is connected to a clutch assembly for power transmission, a base is installed at a lower end of the mainframe. The overflow structure includes: a mainframe-upper-cover drainage structure including at least one side drainage hole opened at an edge of the mainframe upper cover, and a first water receiving part for transferring liquid in the side drainage hole; an interference drainage structure including a water receiving tray for receiving liquid overflowing from a gap between the clutch assembly and the mainframe upper cover, and a second water receiving component for transferring liquid in the water receiving tray.

A kitchen machine has an automatic cleaning function. The kitchen machine comprises a vessel, an agitator located in the vessel, a motor configured to rotate the agitator, a heater configured to heat the vessel, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the vessel, and a controller configured, for cleaning the vessel, to control, based on a temperature detected by the temperature sensor, at least one of a rotation speed of the motor, a rotation duration of the motor, a rotation direction of the motor, a heating temperature of the heater, and a heating duration of the heater.

Proposed is a blender which detects whether a container lid is closed by transmitting an electrical signal through a transparent film. The blender according to the present disclosure comprises a container body in which food is accommodated; a main body provided under the container body so as to support the container body; the container lid detachably mounted on the upper surface of the container body so as to open and close the upper side of the container body; and a detection system which detects whether the container lid is mounted on the container body, wherein the detection system includes a transparent electrode film configured to have multiple layers so as to guide the flow of electricity. Therefore, the blender has the advantage of preventing an assembly defect without damaging the appearance of the container body formed of a transparent material.

A countertop appliance comprises interchangeable containers including a first container and a second container each having a base. The first container includes a first magnet coupled to the base of the first container at a first distance and the second container includes a second magnet coupled to the base of the second container at a second distance. A housing includes a motor and an attachment portion. The interchangeable containers are selectively and operably coupled to the attachment portion of the housing. An analog magnetic sensor is disposed proximate the attachment portion of the housing. The analog magnetic sensor is configured to detect the first magnet at the first distance and the second magnet at the second distance. A controller communicatively coupled with the analog magnetic sensor is configured to identify one of the interchangeable containers based on the detected distance of one of the first magnet and the second magnet.

A blender with a round touchscreen interface is provided to control different blending modes of operation. Exemplary implementations may: receive, by the round touchscreen that is included in a control interface of the blender, a first type of user input; make detections regarding the user input received by the control interface of the blender; effectuate a transition from a ready-to-blend mode to a first blending mode, responsive to a first detection of a first type of detections; control an electrical motor during the ready-to-blend mode such that the blender is not blending; and control an electrical motor during the first blending mode such that the blender is blending.
