The solution preparation device comprises a liquid container, a powder container, an upper cover and a controller; the liquid container is provided with a detection element for detecting a specific parameter of a solution; the powder container is arranged above the liquid container, and the upper cover covers a top end of the powder container to form a material holding cavity for placing a powder, a bottom end of the powder container is provided with a material discharge port through which the powder in the material holding cavity enters the liquid container. The solution preparation device further comprises a stopper for blocking the material discharge port, the controller controls the stopper according to the specific parameter to realize opening and closing of the material discharge port.

A cooling and heating cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: an inner case having a storage space provided therein; an outer case which is disposed surrounding the inner case and forms an insulation cavity between the outer case and the inner case; a thermoelectric element module disposed in the insulation cavity; a separation panel disposed inside the inner case and having a plurality of through-holes; an agitating part disposed between the separation panel and the bottom surface of the inner case, and having a magnet and an agitating fan that rotates with the magnet; and a magnetic field-generating part disposed outside the outer case, and generating a magnetic field to rotate the magnet.

A blender appliance, as provided herein, may include a container body, a rotatable blade, a motor, and a thermo-electric heat exchanger. The container body may include an inner shell and a conduction wall. The inner shell may define a fluid cavity. The conduction wall may be spaced apart from the fluid cavity outward along a radial direction. The rotatable blade may be rotatably disposed within the fluid cavity. The motor may be in selective mechanical communication with the rotatable blade to motivate rotation thereof. The thermo-electric heat exchanger may be mounted within the container body in thermal communication with the fluid cavity.

Devices, systems, and apparatuses for heating a liquid are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a heater includes a base comprising a generally planar surface and at least two heater pillars and a sensor pillar configured on the base. The at least two heater pillars each comprise heating elements. The sensor pillar includes a thermal sensor. A mixing element is configured on the generally planar surface of the base and is coupled to a mixing motor. When powered, the heating elements of the heater pillars are configured to generate heat and the mixing motor is configured to cause the mixing element to rotate.
