A blender system that includes a base that is selectively and operatively engaged with a container and an open and closable enclosure is shown and described herein. The base may include an interlock component that may interact with an interlock component of an enclosure or a container. The base also includes a motor that is selectively and operatively engaged with a blade disposed within the container. The motor may be controlled based on arrangement of the base, the enclosure, or the container.

A food-processing device for blending and mixing food comprises a mixing vessel, a blade holder, and a motor base. The motor is a high power motor. The device has various safety features designed for the high power motor. The blade holder comprises a safety mechanism that prevents the motor base from operating without the mixing vessel covering the blade. The mixing vessel also contains emitters that interact with detectors on the motor base that can allow a user to select an alternate blend speed according to the mixing vessel that is attached.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cup with a juicing function and a cup with a milk frothing function. Each of the two cups includes a cup body, a cup base, a motor, and a control assembly. There is accommodated space between a base body of the cup base and a bottom cover. The motor and the control assembly are disposed inside the accommodated space. An annular groove is disposed in an upper surface of the base body. A first through-hole is disposed at the bottom of the annular groove. A first seal ring is disposed inside the annular groove. An output shaft of the motor passes upwards through the base body and is connected to a blade or a milk froth stirring head. The output shaft of the motor is in sealed connection with the base body through a second seal ring.

A portable and rechargeable blender is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a base assembly, a container assembly, and control circuitry. The base assembly may include a rechargeable battery configured to power an electrical motor such that, during blending by the blender, no power is supplied to the electrical motor from an external power source.

A base of a food processing system (20) includes at least one attachment (30) selectively receivable by a base (22). The base (22) includes an attachment mounting area (42) disposed with the base (22) to selectively receive the attachment (30). The attachment mounting area (42) includes a drive coupler (26) for applying a pull down force to the attachment (30). A motor is disposed with the base (22). A motor activation assembly (70) is associated with the attachment mounting area (42) and the motor. The motor is rendered operable via a vertical force applied to the motor activation assembly (70) when the attachment mounting area (42) receives the attachment (30).

A drive interlock mechanism for an accessory for a food processor having a rotating drive, comprising: an engagement formation for engaging the rotating drive; a cooperating member for cooperating with the accessory so as to move the engagement formation into engagement with the rotating drive; and means for urging the engagement member away from the rotating drive so as to disengage the engagement member from the rotating drive.

A blender system that includes a base that is selectively and operatively engaged with a container is shown and described herein. The base may include a near field communications chip that may communicate with a near field communications chip of a container. The base also includes a motor that is selectively and operatively engaged with a blade disposed within the container.

A kitchen appliance, including at least one kitchen appliance base and at least one preparation module is provided. The kitchen appliance base includes at least one electrical interface and at least one receiving region. The preparation module includes at least one electrical counter-interface for electrical contacting with the electrical interface. The electrical interface includes at least two power contacts and at least one auxiliary contact. The electrical counter-interface includes at least two power counter-contacts and at least one auxiliary counter-contact. In the kitchen appliance, the insertion forces for the electrical contacting for the user are reduced, are realized by the power contacts and the power counter-contacts, as well as the auxiliary contact and the auxiliary counter-contact being designed and configured such that the power contacts are electrically contacted with the power counter-contacts at a different point in time than is the auxiliary contact with the auxiliary counter-contact.
