A foreign substance trap device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first member in which at least one fluid intake hole is formed; a second member in which at least a portion of an exhaust channel, through which gas in liquid flowing inside through the fluid intake hole is discharged, is formed; and a movable member movably disposed between the first member and the second member and closing the exhaust channel by being moved by liquid in fluid flowing inside through the fluid intake hole.

A meat grinder safety cover attachment for a meat grinder grinding head that prevents an operator of the meat grinder from entering hand or fingers into the inlet throat of the grinder where a turning auger starts the grinding of meat. The grinder safety cover has two functional states: a normally closed state and an actuated open state. Moving from the normally closed state to the actuated open state is initiated by applying a linear force by depressing a slide plunger pin that engages the slide covers covering the grinder head inlet throat. The slide plunger pin and slide covers are configured to convert the linear motion of the slide plunger pin to rotational motion of the slide covers, opening the slide covers and uncovering the inlet throat of the grinder head. Removing the depression force on the slide plunger pin, the torsion spring attached to the slide covers and a return spring in the slide plunger pin then return the safety cover to its normally closed position.

A juice extractor and a feeding apparatus thereof are provided. The feeding apparatus includes a feed channel, a feed body connected to an upper port of the feed channel, and a cover plate assembly. The cover plate assembly includes a cover plate and an accommodating cavity with a large capacity. A shape of the cover plate matches an inner wall of the feed body and the cover plate is provided with a feed inlet, and the cover plate is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the feed body. The accommodating cavity with a large capacity is provided on a top surface of the cover plate, and has a sectional area greater than an area of the feed inlet, and is formed by an enclosure plate that surrounds the feed inlet. Upon inversion of the cover plate assembly, an opening of the accommodating cavity with a large capacity can be made to face the feed channel, and fruits and vegetables contained in the accommodating cavity with a large capacity are put in the feed channel. The feed inlet of the feed body is provided on the invertible cover plate assembly, so that not only diced fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the juice extractor, but also fruits and vegetables with large shapes fall into the feed channel by reverting the cover plate assembly without being diced. The juice extractor has a simple structure and can be conveniently used, so as to improve use safety.

A versatile food processing system that can work with plurality of top-mounted food processing units of different types and sizes is disclosed. The motor base of the food processing system has a locking mechanism and safety actuators at different radial locations so that food processing units of different sizes can utilities the safety mechanism. One particular processing unit is especially useful for making noodles and vegetable strips. The processing unit comprises a stationary outer vessel and a rotating inner vessel. Blades are located on an inner lid of the inner vessel. The inner vessel spins in unison with the inner lid without a central shaft to avoid harm caused by the shaft to the quality of the resulting noodles.

A blender includes a jar including a blade module to cut an object, a main body to receive the jar and including a motor to rotate the blade module, and a controller disposed inside the main body and configured to operate the motor. The main body further includes an outer case and forming an outer structure of the main body. The outer case includes a touch input portion on an outer surface of the outer case. A touch sensor is disposed on an inner surface of the outer case at a position corresponding to the touch input portion to detect a touch input on the touch input portion. The controller is configured to determine an operation time period of the motor based on the touch input detected by the touch sensor.

A meat grinder safety cover attachment for a meat grinder grinding head that prevents an operator of the meat grinder from entering hand or fingers into the inlet throat of the grinder where a turning auger starts the grinding of meat. The grinder safety cover has two functional states: a normally closed state and an actuated open state. Moving from the normally closed state to the actuated open state is initiated by applying a linear force by depressing a slide plunger pin that engages the slide covers covering the grinder head inlet throat. The slide plunger pin and slide covers are configured to convert the linear motion of the slide plunger pin to rotational motion of the slide covers, opening the slide covers and uncovering the inlet throat of the grinder head. Removing the depression force on the slide plunger pin, the torsion spring attached to the slide covers and a return spring in the slide plunger pin then return the safety cover to its normally closed position.

A blender is provided that uses a latch handle to lock the blade base onto the jar member without the use of threads. When the latch is locked onto the jar member, the latch itself is engaged to a tab member protruding from the jar member in order to prevent the latch from opening on accident.

The invention relates to a kitchen appliance system with a base unit having a housing, a controller and a communication interface, and with at least one accessory having an identifier. In order to increase user-friendliness, it is proposed that a detector is provided and configured to detect an identifier of at least one accessory and to forward corresponding information to the controller, that a position detector is provided and configured to detect the position of the at least one accessory in relation to the base unit and/or in relation to a further accessory and to forward corresponding information to the controller, in that the controller is configured to recognise an accessory and its position on the basis of the forwarded information, and in that the controller is configured to automatically confirm a proper position or change in position of a recognised accessory and, in the event of an undetermined position or change in position or in the event of an undetected position or change in position, to automatically confirm the position of the accessory, position change or in the case of an unrecognised accessory, to output a corresponding user message. Also described are a corresponding method, a control system for controlling a kitchen appliance system and a corresponding computer program.

The invention relates to a kitchen appliance system with a base unit including a housing, a control device and a communication interface and with at least one accessory including an identifier. In order to improve user-friendliness, provision is made for a detection device which is configured to detect an identifier of at least one accessory. The control device is configured to control an identifier which is detected by the detection device with at least one identifier from a database, to provide at least one operation mode associated with an identifier from the database matching the detected identifier via the communication interface as a quick start mode. The invention further relates to a method of operating a kitchen appliance system and a corresponding computer program.

The application relates to an accessory for a kitchen appliance, the kitchen appliance including a reading arrangement having a reading controller and at least one reading antenna connectable to the reading controller, the accessory including at least one transponder arrangement, wherein the transponder arrangement includes a transponder and an accessory position sensor connected to the transponder, wherein the accessory position sensor is configured to detect at least one accessory position parameter of the accessory, and wherein the transponder arrangement is configured to transmit the detected accessory position parameter to the reading arrangement.
