The aim of the invention is to improve the sealing of a device for grinding or milling material to be ground. To this end, the invention relates to a device (1) and to the method for sealing particularly such a device (1). According to the invention, the seal (10) of the device (1) includes the sealing ring (11) which radially surrounds the drive shaft (6) and the cutting ring (12) arranged between the sealing ring (11) and the tool (5). In order to produce the seal (10), the cutting ring (12) is set into the sealing ring (11) and positioned in the annular slit (14) created by this action, said cutting ring being connected to the tool (5) and/or the drive shaft (6) such that the passage (7) is sealed.

The invention provides an automatic and compact food preparation apparatus that prepares a food automatically. The food preparation apparatus of present invention is comprising of an electronic control unit that stores the recipes and accordingly controls the working of all the other units of the food preparation apparatus according to the recipe steps. The food preparation apparatus further includes a wok pan unit, a stirring unit, a raw ingredient dispensing—slot assembly unit and a spice or liquid dispensing unit that by working according to the recipe steps, cooks or prepares the food recipe. The food preparation apparatus further includes a user interface to allow user to select the recipe to prepare, to modify the recipe according to the user requirement and to communicate with the food preparation apparatus.

A vacuum blender according to the present invention comprises: a blender body including a container support case, an outer container seated in the container support case, a grinding blade, and a blade driving unit for rotating the grinding blade; an inner container unit including an inner container disposed in the outer container and in which the grinding blade is located, and an inner container driving unit for rotating the inner container; a vacuum unit installed in the container support case and configured to perform a blending operation on an object to be blended accommodated in the inner container in a vacuum state, wherein the outer container is opened and closed by means of an outer container cover, the inner container is opened and closed by means of an inner container cover, the inner container cover is assembled to rotate on the outer container cover.

A kitchen device base having at least one collection area for at least one preparation module, whereby the collection area has at least one locking means for mechanical locking of the preparation module. A kitchen device base, a preparation module, and a kitchen device, with which automatic locking of various preparation modules on a kitchen device base is made possible, are realized in that the locking means has at least one drive unit and at least one movably mounted locking element, that the locking element can be moved at least indirectly by means of the drive unit, at least between a release position and a locking position, that in the release position the preparation module can be arranged in at least two different orientations in the collection area, and that in the locking position the preparation module is locked to the kitchen device base.

The present invention relates to a blender. The blender includes: a body provided with a motor assembly; a container which is detachably mounted to the body and in which food is accommodated; a container seating portion which is provided on a top surface of the body and on which the container is seated; a body accommodation portion which is recessed in a bottom surface of the container so that the container seating portion is inserted, and is in close contact with the container seating portion when the container is seated to fix the container; and an air vent which passes through a lower end of the container and communicates with the body accommodation portion, and through which air enters and exits the body accommodation portion when the container is mounted on the body.

A micro puree machine includes a mixing shaft coupled to a blade and rotatable by means of a gear. A magnet is coupled to the gear and a rotation sensor is mounted on the machine housing. As the mixing shaft descends into the pre-frozen ingredients, the rotation sensor detects a magnetic field of the magnet as the gear rotates and generates a rotation signal in response. A controller receives the rotation signal and determines a rotation count associated with the gear, causing the mixing shaft to ascend back toward the housing once a pre-selected rotation count has been reached. The pre-selected rotation count correlates with the partial processing of the ingredients.

The present food processing device is configured to hold food within a receptacle during cooking and subsequently during blending. It is desirable that the food processing device provides control for the flow of the steam during steam cooking of the food processing device, and then makes it easy to remove the food out after the food processing device has been blended.

Proposed is a blender which has a pneumatic inspection structure for inspecting whether airtightness is maintained between an outer container body and an inner container body of a container body configured as a double structure. The blender includes the container body in which food is received, a main body provided under the container body and configured to support the container body, and a container lid mounted detachably to an upper surface of the container body and configured to open and close the upper surface of the container body, wherein the container body includes the outer container body constituting an exterior thereof, and the inner container body provided inside the outer container body, wherein space between the outer container body and the inner container body is blocked from the outside and is sealed.

A beverage container for a blender includes one or more vibrating mechanisms coupled to a bottom portion of the beverage container or integrated within one or more walls of the beverage container. After a beverage has been blended, the one or more vibrating mechanisms are activated as the beverage is being poured. Vibrations from the one or more vibrating mechanisms are mechanically transmitted to the beverage container, thereby promoting the pourability of the beverage from the beverage container, including dislodging ingredients in the beverage that became lodged or trapped in crevices of the beverage container during the prior blending process, and freeing up beverage ingredients that accumulated at the bottom of the beverage container during the prior blending process.

A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly and a multiple motion intelligent driving device are employed to process contents of the container assembly.
