The present invention relates to household food-processing devices. In order to provide a household food-processing device with a mounting system ensuring that it is not possible to touch the processing tool in an operating state, a household food-processing device (10) is provided that comprises a base unit (12), a processing tool unit (14) with a processing tool (18) for processing supplied food, and a receiving unit (16) with a receiving volume (20) for receiving the processed food. The base unit provides a driving force for actuating the processing tool. The receiving unit is mountable to the processing tool unit, and the base unit is mountable to the processing tool unit. The processing tool unit is provided with a safety mounting mechanism (38) defining a mounting order, according to which the base unit is mountable to the processing tool unit only when the receiving unit is mounted to the processing tool unit; and according to which the de-mounting of the receiving unit from the processing tool unit is blocked when the base unit is mounted to the processing tool unit.

The present disclosure relates to a safety bearing arrangement (300) for a food processing device (10, 110, 210) comprising a container (12, 112, 212) and a processing tool (20, 120, 220) arranged to be rotated with respect to the container (12, 112, 212) for processing food, the bearing arrangement (300) comprising a first bearing part (302), particularly a bearing pin (304) and a second bearing part (280), particularly a bearing seat (282), wherein one of the first bearing part (302) and the second bearing part (280) is associated with the container (12, 112, 212) and the other one is associated with a tool unit (18, 118, 228), wherein the first bearing part (302) and the second bearing part (280) are arranged to engage one another and to be rotated with respect to one another, and wherein the first bearing part (302) and the second bearing part (302) generate a defined friction torque in such a way that a running processing tool (20, 120, 220), when no driving torque is applied to the processing tool (20, 120, 220), is significantly decelerated, preferably stopped, within a predetermined period of time. The disclosure further relates to a corresponding food processing device (10, 110, 210).

A system for attaching a blender container to a blade assembly, which comprises a first mechanism to secure a blender container to a blade assembly. Some embodiments of the system include a second latch mechanism to lock the blender container to the blade assembly while the container and blade assembly are mounted to a base for operation of the blender.

A blender for processing comestible matter includes a base with a motor, a blade assembly, and a container. The blender further comprises a first safety mechanism and a second safety mechanism. The first safety mechanism functions to ensure that the container is securely attached to the blade assembly before the blade assembly can be mounted to the base. The second safety mechanism functions to ensure the motor in the base can only be powered on when the container and the blade assembly are securely mounted to the base. The blender is operable by affixing the container to the blade assembly, and then the assembly to the base, such that both safety mechanisms are released to permit the motor to be activated.

A control method and control system for an agitating mechanism are provided. The control method includes receiving a load current detected by a current detecting apparatus when the agitating mechanism is rotating along a specific direction; determining whether the rotation of the agitating mechanism meets a preset trigger condition based on the load current; and controlling the agitating mechanism to rotate in a direction opposite from the specific direction when the trigger condition is met. The present invention can reduce the possibility of the electrical components of the agitating mechanism being burnt out and prolong the lifespan of the agitating mechanism. The present invention can improve agitation results of the agitating mechanism. At low speed, the agitating mechanism can perform the agitation gently without damaging the texture of the solid food. At high speed, the agitating mechanism can more homogeneously and finely agitate the mushy food with enhanced agitating efficiency.

A variable temperature blender is disclosed for the cooking and preparation of heated sauces, jams, soups, purees, alternative milks, smoothies and more. A variable temperature blender has a lid assembly, a vessel assembly, and a base assembly. The vessel assembly has a blending vessel and a collar attached to a bottom portion of the blending vessel.
