A cutting device for chopping food products with a cutting disc with friction and/or cutting elements. The cutting device includes a shaft for the cutting disc. The cutting disc is attached to the shaft or can be detachably attached to the shaft, with a filling neck, via which food products can be fed to the cutting disc.

A cutting disc configured to chop food products by rotating about an axis. There are cutting elements which are located on a first side of the cutting disc and which can chop food products by rotating the cutting disc in a first direction of rotation and which are arranged one behind the other when viewed in the first direction of rotation. The cutting elements arranged one behind the other are different.

A food preparation appliance includes a food preparation vessel, a lid, an attachment part, a locking device, and a plurality of sensors. The lid may be placed on the food preparation vessel. The attachment part may be placed on the food preparation vessel instead of the lid. The locking device is for locking the lid placed on the food preparation vessel and for locking the attachment part placed on the food preparation vessel.

A food processing system includes a container for receiving a food item processed by said food processing system. A configuration of said processing performed by said food processing system is determined by a position of the food item as it enters said container.

A food processing apparatus for preparing a fluid food product includes a food processing chamber including a blade arrangement driven by a motor; a particle sensor arranged to measure an actual particle size within said fluid food product in said food processing chamber and a controller arranged to control the motor. The controller is communicatively coupled to the particle sensor and may disengage the motor in response to a signal from the particle sensor indicative of the actual particle size reaching a threshold value of no less than 400 μm within said fluid food product.

An improved blade assembly is provided for use in a cooking appliance such as a blender or a food processor. The bottom blade portions of the blade assembly include a geometry that provides an angled, sharpened portion on wing portions that extend downwardly from the bottom blade. The bottom blade's geometry, including the sharpened portions, help rotate the material so that it is blended upwardly to help prevent food from getting stuck in the void below the bottom blade, thus improving the blade's efficiency.

A food processor includes a main machine, a processing cup structure, and a heating device. The main machine has a processing chamber with an opening at an upper end of the processing chamber. The processing cup structure includes a processing cup, at least part of the processing cup is configured to be detachably mounted in the processing chamber through the opening of the processing chamber, and a processing cavity is formed in the processing cup for containing food material. The heating device is provided in the main machine, and is configured to heat heat-conducting fluid in the processing chamber. The heated heat-conducting fluid conducts heat into the processing cavity, to at least heat the food material in the processing cavity.

Embodiments provide a screw, a food processing cup assembly, and a food processor. The screw comprises a screw body including a feeding area for feeding and a crushing area connected to the feeding area; a first spiral rib is spirally arranged on the feeding area along the axial direction of the screw body, and extending to the crushing area along a top of the screw body; a cutting surface extending from the top of the screw body to the crushing area; a plurality of second spiral ribs are disposed on the screw body at intervals along the axial direction of the screw body.

A blender using different power modes is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, an electrical motor, a blending component, a control interface, control circuitry, and/or other components. The control circuitry may be configured to make different types of detections related to the availability and/or usage of electrical power, and may control the electrical motor using at least two different power modes of operation, thus providing different amounts of power to the electrical motor in different power modes of operation.

The present disclosure relates to a grinding machine and an assembling method thereof. The grinding machine includes a container, a grinding assembly, and a sealing base. A bottom portion of the container defines a juice outlet. The sealing base seals the juice outlet. The sealing base is detachably connected with the container. The grinding assembly includes a cutting tool, an upper grinding disc, and a lower grinding disc arranged in sequence from top to bottom. A drive shaft is rotatably arranged on the sealing base. The cutting tool and the lower grinding disc are fixed on the drive shaft. The upper grinding disc is fixed on the sealing base. A first positioning step configured to position the upper grinding disc is formed on an inner wall of the juice outlet. A first elastic sealing piece is arranged between the upper grinding disc and the first positioning step.
