A juicing system with a drive mechanism and a juicer assembly, where the juicer assembly includes a main housing defining a cavity. An auger having a top portion and a bottom portion is within the cavity. The auger is operably connected at one of the top portion or the bottom portion to the drive mechanism to rotate the auger. A rotatable cutting blade is disposed at the top portion of the auger to cut food inserted into the cavity. A juicing basket is disposed within the cavity, radially outwardly from the auger. The juicing basket has at least one screen with apertures therethrough of varying sizes. Food is pressed by the auger against the juicing basket to squeeze juice and pulp through the apertures. The pulp exits through a pulp chute, having a upper portion, lower portion, and check valve therebetween which is easily removable for cleaning and clog removal.

The present disclosure discloses a dual-purpose food-processing appliance, comprising a blending body, wherein the blending body is provided with an assembly space and a control unit; a power unit, wherein the power unit is assembled in the blending body; a blending cup, wherein the blending cup is mounted in the assembly space; and a replaceable blending unit. The present disclosure is reasonable in structural design and by driving the blending unit to act through the power unit, the food-processing appliance can realize not only meat mincing but also juicing functions such as juicing oranges, thereby being convenient to use and having improved practicality.

A food processing system includes a base and an actuator that is releasably mounted to the base. The actuator may have an unactuated position and an actuated position. Numerous accessories each may be individually and interchangeably mountable to and releasable from at least one of the base and the actuator. Each attachment may perform a food processing function when the actuator is moved from the unactuated position to the actuated position.

A food processing device includes a base housing having an attachment receiver arranged to receive a food processing attachment that is configured to perform a food processing operation. The attachment receiver includes an electrical connector having a plurality of electrical contacts. The device includes a first processor having a plurality of ports where each port of the plurality of ports is in electrical communication with each of the plurality of electrical contacts. The first processor is configured to: i) receive an identification signal at a first port of the plurality of ports via the electrical connector from a second processor in the received food processing attachment to identify the received food processing attachment, and ii) when an identification signal is not received, monitor a voltage at each of the plurality of ports to identify the received food processing attachment.

A multi-purpose handheld kitchen appliance includes a controller configured to customize various aspects of the appliance based upon a type of attachment coupled to the appliance, e.g., to controllably vary a motor speed, to selectively disable an activation control, and/or to rotate a display based on a type of attachment and/or a gyroscope input.
