A fluid delivery system for dispensing a liquid from a sealed container directly into a closed chamber comprises a container containing a liquid component of bone cement and plugged with a plug, and a closed chamber comprising a receiving port for receiving the sealed container, wherein the receiving port is configured to receive the liquid component in direct response to manual insertion of the sealed container through the receiving port using an open loop system.

A slurrying device includes a slurrying tank and a rotor stirrer. The rotor stirrer includes a stirring drum, a transmission gear arranged at an end face of the stirring drum configured to face the slurrying tank, and a rotor stirring rod configured to extend from the stirring drum and into the slurrying tank to stir a slurrying liquid in the slurrying tank. The rotor stirring rod is meshed with the transmission gear and configured to revolve along a planar trajectory of the transmission gear while simultaneously rotating. The rotor stirrer further includes a driving device provided at the stirring drum and configured to drive the rotor stirring rod to rotate via the transmission gear.

A stand mixer includes: a base, the base including a bowl lift framework having first lift features; a support arm attached to the base and extending upwardly therefrom; a head attached to an upper end of the support arm and extending generally horizontally therefrom above the base; and a bowl assembly comprising a bowl and a skirt mounted to the bowl, the skirt including second lift features. The first lift features interact with the second lift features such that, when the bowl assembly is rotated relative to the bowl lift framework, the bowl assembly changes elevation relative to the base between raised and lowered positions.

The disclosure discloses a bevel planetary gear mechanism applied to a stand mixer, including a center bevel gear (2), a first bevel planetary gear (10), a second bevel planetary gear (3), a third bevel planetary gear (4), an internal bevel gear (5) and a bevel planetary gear bracket (11), wherein, the center bevel gear (2) is mounted on a spindle (1); the first bevel planetary gear (10), the second bevel planetary gear (3) and the third bevel planetary gear (4) are all engaged with the center bevel gear (2); the internal bevel gear (5) surrounds the first bevel planetary gear (10), the second bevel planetary gear (3) and the third bevel planetary gear (4) and are engaged with such three gears. By using the bevel planetary gear mechanism provided by the disclosure, the stand mixer has a pitched kneading hook, thereby improving the kneading effect of the stand mixer.

A mixing machine includes a mixer body, a head extending from the mixer body and including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool and a bowl support mounted to the mixer body and positioned below the head. A slideway system is configured to enable vertical movement of the bowl support along the mixer body between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head. The slideway system includes a first metal surface, a second metal surface opposed to and facing the first metal surface, wherein a relative sliding movement between the first metal surface and the second metal surface occurs during vertical movement of the bowl support, and an ultra-high-molecular-weight plastic insert disposed between the first metal surface and the second metal surface to limit friction during the relative sliding movement.

A high shear mixing device is provided. The high shear mixing device comprises a first screw kneader and a second screw kneader; a first rotation driving mechanism configured to rotate the first screw kneader and a second rotation driving mechanism configured to rotate the second screw kneader; a revolution driving mechanism including the first rotation driving mechanism and the second rotation driving mechanism rotatably installed therein; a driving mechanism body including the revolution driving mechanism installed therein; and a mixing tank. Each of the first screw kneader and the second screw kneader comprises a shaft having one end connected to the rotation driving mechanism; and three or more blades having one end fixed to the shaft and having a helically curved body along the longitudinal direction of the shaft, and the first and second screw kneaders rotate in opposite directions with their blades overlapping each other.

A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a rotatable output member for receiving a mixer tool. A drive system for effecting rotation of the rotatable output member includes a primary drive motor connected through a variable ratio transmission assembly to drive the output member, and a modulator motor linked to operate the variable ratio transmission assembly.

A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. At least a first food processing tool and a second food processing tool can be changed in and out of the machine to be driven by the output shaft. A controller and associated tool detection system is configured to identify whether the first food processing tool or the second food processing tool is mounted on the machine and to select a stored load profile that is linked to the identified food processing tool.

A mixing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a downwardly extending rotatable output shaft for receiving a mixer tool. A drive train including a motor having an output operatively connected to drive a planetary gear system that effects rotation of the rotatable output shaft about its axis and orbiting of the shaft axis about another axis. A control system includes a master control unit and a slave control unit, the master control unit connected with a first sensor located along the drive train between the motor and the planetary gear system, the slave control unit connected with a second sensor, wherein both the slave control unit and the second sensor rotate with a part of the planetary gear system, wherein the master control unit and the slave control unit are configured for wireless communication with each other.
