A micro puree machine includes a mixing shaft coupled to a blade and rotatable by means of a gear. A magnet is coupled to the gear and a rotation sensor is mounted on the machine housing. As the mixing shaft descends into the pre-frozen ingredients, the rotation sensor detects a magnetic field of the magnet as the gear rotates and generates a rotation signal in response. A controller receives the rotation signal and determines a rotation count associated with the gear, causing the mixing shaft to ascend back toward the housing once a pre-selected rotation count has been reached. The pre-selected rotation count correlates with the partial processing of the ingredients.

A food processing appliance includes a bowl to contain the food, with a side wall, a rotary work accessory arranged in the bowl, a lid arranged on the bowl, the lid including a manually operated motor to cause a drive shaft to spin the work accessory around a rotation axis A by pulling on a cord transversely to the axis A. The lid includes: a first dynamic gasket arranged between the lid and the side wall to fill the space therebetween; a second dynamic gasket, arranged between the lid and the drive shaft to fill the space therebetween; each gasket having an inner wall, a connecting part arranged on the lid, an annular lip and a groove; the lip movable and deformable with a displacement angle α extending outwards relative to the axis A, so as to ensure a watertight seal when the lid is connected to the bowl.

A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.

An appliance comprises a component having a user interface. The appliance is arranged to control a feature of the user interface in dependence on a change in the position (such as a locational or rotational position) of the component.

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 kneading or mixing machine including a housing with opposite side walls, a motor in the housing for driving a kneading or mixing tool. A safety shield mounted to bearings for turning about an axis (A), the safety shield adapted to at least partly shield the tool when the safety shield is turned to a shielding position, the safety shield including a pair of arms. Each arm having a head at a free end thereof, a central portion of each bearing receiving the head to allow for said turning, and the central portion of each bearing communicating with an entry slit configured for insertion of the head into the central portion in a direction transverse to the axis (A).

A bowl assembly for a micro puree machine including an inner beaker and an outer bowl. The inner beaker is configured to receive ingredients and has an exterior bottom surface that includes a beaker alignment feature. The outer bowl is configured to receive the inner beaker therein. The outer bowl includes an interior bottom surface that includes a bowl alignment feature and an exterior bottom surface that includes a bowl securing element. The beaker alignment feature of the inner beaker exterior bottom surface is complementary to the bowl alignment feature of the outer bowl interior bottom surface such that, at times the inner beaker is positioned in the outer bowl, the complementary bowl alignment feature and inner beaker alignment feature prevent rotation of the inner beaker relative to the outer bowl. The bowl securing element is configured to receive and attach to a platform of a micro puree machine.

A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly. A blade assembly detection system detects proper positioning of the blade assembly within the lid assembly.

The present utility model relates to the technical field of food processing apparatuses, in particular relates to a food processing apparatus as well as its container cover and its container, comprising a cover assembly; the cover assembly comprises a cover body, a plurality of holding pieces and an operating piece; the cover body is arranged with a stirring shaft opening through the cover body; the holding pieces are connected with the cover body in a linearly sliding manner and have a tendency to approach the stirring shaft opening on the horizontal plane; The present utility model can realize the release of the processing knife by pressing the operating piece, which is safe and convenient to move the operating piece.

A stand mixer includes a casing forming a base, a column extending from the base, and a motor housing connected to the column, the casing including an air inlet and an air outlet; a motor assembly provided within the motor housing, the motor assembly including a motor shaft; and a cooling fan provided adjacent to the air inlet, the cooling fan being rotatable about a fan shaft. The fan shaft is separate from the motor shaft and the cooling fan is operated independently from the motor assembly.
