Background

When the existing soymilk machine capable of automatically discharging soymilk is used for preparing soymilk drink, materials and water are added according to the proportion requirement generally, but in the actual use process, a consumer can add the materials and the water into the soymilk machine at will for simplicity and convenience, so that the situations that more materials are added and less water is added can occur, and after the soymilk machine finishes pulping, the soymilk is thicker and the residue content is more. In the process of automatically discharging the slurry, the flowing slurry is quickly discharged, and the slurry residue with poor fluidity cannot be completely discharged and still remains in the grinding cup of the soymilk machine. Therefore, water needs to be added into the soymilk grinder for a plurality of times to flush out the pulp, so that the water consumption is high, and the situation that the pulp is not completely discharged exists.

Meanwhile, the applicant filed application of inventions with application numbers "CN 201910481587.5" and "cn201910481588. x", which are named "a self-cleaning method of a food processing machine" and "an automatic cleaning method of a food processing machine", respectively, before this.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to provide an automatic slag discharging method of a food processor, which can discharge slag in a pulping chamber through steam without using cleaning water or with less cleaning water, and can realize automatic slag discharging and automatic cleaning of the food processor.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: the utility model provides a food preparation machine's automatic sediment method of arranging, food preparation machine includes the slurrying cavity, controls the flowing back subassembly that the slurrying cavity opened and closed and lets in the steam generating device of steam in the slurrying cavity which characterized in that: the automatic slag discharging method of the food processor comprises the following steps:

after the pulp is discharged, when the liquid discharge assembly is in an open state, the steam generating device introduces steam into the pulping chamber, and the steam drives pulp slag to be discharged out of the pulping chamber through the liquid discharge assembly.

Furthermore, the pulping chamber is of a closed structure, and the liquid discharge assembly is the only outlet for discharging steam;

or when the liquid discharge assembly is in an open state, steam is continuously or intermittently introduced into the pulping chamber.

Furthermore, after the slurry discharge is finished and before the slag discharge is started, a step of feeding water slag into the pulping chamber is provided.

Furthermore, in the slag discharging process, a step of feeding water into the pulping chamber to flush slag is arranged.

Furthermore, in the deslagging process, water and steam are synchronously fed into the pulping chamber;

or in the deslagging process, water and steam are not synchronously fed into the pulping chamber.

Furthermore, in the slag flushing process, the liquid drainage assembly is in an open state.

Further, after the end of slurry discharge, and before the start of slag discharge, a pressurization stage is also provided: the liquid discharge assembly is closed, and the steam generating device introduces steam into the pulping chamber for pressurization.

Furthermore, in the pressurizing stage, steam is continuously or intermittently introduced into the pulping chamber.

Furthermore, the food processor comprises a pulp receiving cup, when pulp is discharged, the pulp discharged into the pulp receiving cup is uncooked pulp, in the process of discharging the slag, steam introduced into the pulping chamber heats the raw pulp to form foam, and the foam-coated pulp slag is discharged by the liquid discharging assembly.

Further, the food processor also comprises a slurry receiving cup, and the slurry residue is discharged into the slurry receiving cup;

or, the food processor further comprises a waste water box, wherein the pulp residue is discharged into the waste water box.

When a user prepares the thick slurry by using the food processing machine, the flowability of the thick slurry is poor, after the liquid discharge assembly is opened, the slurry with good flowability and part of slurry residues uniformly mixed with the slurry can be discharged out of the pulping chamber through the liquid discharge assembly, and along with the decrease of the slurry in the pulping chamber, the accumulated slurry residues are difficult to discharge from the liquid discharge assembly. When the specially prepared thick slurry is raw slurry, slurry residues in the raw slurry are rich in nutrition, if the raw slurry cannot be discharged into the slurry receiving cup to be boiled together, great waste is caused, and the slurry residues are remained in the slurry making chamber and are difficult to clean. In the prior art, the thick liquid is generally beaten and washed by multiple water inflows, and finally, the thick liquid residue, the residual stain and the water are discharged to the thick liquid receiving cup together for boiling, so that the thick liquid residue is washed and washed by multiple water inflows, and the thick liquid concentration in the thick liquid receiving cup is greatly diluted after the residue is washed for multiple times, so that the requirements of the favorite thick liquid taste cannot be met.

For the food processor, after the slurry discharging is finished, when the liquid discharging assembly is in an opening state, steam can be introduced into the pulping chamber, and the residual undischarged slurry residue and residual stains in the pulping chamber are driven to be discharged out of the pulping chamber through the liquid discharging assembly by utilizing the steam. The automatic slag discharging and cleaning functions of the food processor are effectively realized, and compared with the existing full-automatic soybean milk machine, the purpose of completely discharging the slag in the pulping chamber can be realized under the condition of no need of using cleaning water or less use of the cleaning water.

The reasons for this are mainly several: first, when the steam of high temperature lets in the slurrying cavity and meets cold chamber wall, can liquefy and condense into the drop of water, the drop of water of condensation erodees the chamber wall under the action of gravity to adsorb thick liquid sediment, the incomplete stain on the chamber wall, and, when the drop of water collects the chamber bottom wall, can further mix with the thick liquid sediment of chamber bottom wall, thereby form the better thick liquid of mobility once more and discharge through flowing back subassembly. Secondly, after food preparation machine has prepared thick liquid, the surface that is located the thick liquid can form the one deck thick liquid foam to hang on the chamber wall, and high-temperature steam lets in behind the slurrying cavity, and the pressure in the slurrying cavity can continuous increase, and under the dual function of high temperature and pressure, tiny thick liquid foam can break the bubble and disappear, and mix with the thick liquid sediment of chamber diapire under the water droplet scour of condensation. And the liquid discharge assembly is positioned at the bottom of the pulping chamber and is a main circulation channel for discharging steam, so that the steam can carry mixed slurry and pulp residues to be discharged through the liquid discharge assembly. Thirdly, when the slurry prepared by the food processor is raw slurry, because the temperature of the steam introduced into the pulping chamber is higher, the raw slurry which is not discharged can generate a large amount of foam and wrap the slurry slag on the bottom wall of the chamber under the heating action of the high-temperature steam, thereby greatly improving the fluidity of the slurry slag and being more beneficial to the discharge of the slurry slag. Therefore, even if water is not fed into the pulping chamber (the fluidity of the pulp is improved after the pulp and the water are mixed), the pulp and the residue can be discharged out of the pulping chamber through the liquid discharge assembly under the multiple actions of the steam after the steam is fed into the pulping chamber for a certain time.

The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a food processor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description

The first embodiment is as follows:

as shown in fig. 1, which is a food processor according to a first embodiment of the present invention, the food processor includes a machine body 1, a grinding cup 2 installed in the machine body 1, and a cup cover 3 covering the grinding cup 2, wherein a silicone plug 31 is installed on the cup cover 3, and the grinding cup 2 and the cup cover 3 enclose to form a non-closed pulping chamber. Meanwhile, a water tank 4 is installed on one side of the machine body 1, a heating device (not shown in the figure) for heating the water tank and generating steam is arranged in the water tank 4, a water inlet and steam inlet nozzle 21 for feeding water or steam into the crushing cup 2 is arranged on the wall of the crushing cup 2, and the water inlet and steam inlet nozzle 21 is communicated with the water tank 4 through a pipeline (not shown in the figure). Wherein the water tank 4 and the heating device form a steam generating device for introducing steam into the pulping chamber. In addition, a liquid outlet (not marked in the figure) is arranged at the bottom of the crushing cup 2, a liquid outlet assembly 5 is arranged at the liquid outlet, wherein the liquid outlet assembly 5 comprises a liquid outlet pipe 51, a pulp receiving cup 6 and a waste water box (not shown in the figure) are arranged below the liquid outlet pipe 51, and the waste water box is positioned in an installation cavity (not shown in the figure) of the machine body 1 and is arranged side by side with the pulp receiving cup 6. The drain pipe 51 of the present embodiment can be rotated between the slurry receiving cup 6 and the waste water box to perform slurry discharge and waste water discharge, respectively.

For the food processor of this embodiment, there are the following pulping steps:

1) a pulping stage: the materials in the pulping chamber and water are beaten, crushed and boiled.

2) And (3) a pulp discharging stage: and opening the liquid discharge assembly to discharge the prepared slurry into the slurry receiving cup.

3) A pressurization stage: the liquid discharge assembly is closed, and the steam generating device introduces steam into the pulping chamber for pressurization.

4) A cleaning stage: the flowing back subassembly is in the open mode, and steam generator lets in steam to the slurrying cavity in, and steam orders about the residual thick liquid sediment in the chamber wall and discharges slurrying cavity to the waste water box through flowing back subassembly.

For the food processor of this embodiment, during the cleaning stage, when the liquid discharge assembly is in the open state, the steam may be introduced into the pulping chamber, and the steam is utilized to drive the residual pulp in the pulping chamber that is not discharged out of the pulping chamber through the liquid discharge assembly. The automatic cleaning function and the non-hand-washing function of the food processor are effectively realized, and compared with the existing non-hand-washing soybean milk machine, the purpose of completely discharging the soybean milk residue in the soybean milk making chamber can be realized without using cleaning water.

The reasons for this are mainly several: first, when the steam of high temperature lets in the slurrying cavity and meets cold chamber wall, can liquefy and condense into the drop of water, the drop of water of condensation erodees the chamber wall under the action of gravity to adsorb thick liquid sediment, the incomplete stain on the chamber wall, and, when the drop of water collects the chamber bottom wall, can further mix with the thick liquid sediment of chamber bottom wall, thereby form the better thick liquid of mobility once more and discharge through flowing back subassembly. Secondly, after food preparation machine has prepared thick liquid, the surface that is located the thick liquid can form the one deck thick liquid foam to hang on the chamber wall, and high-temperature steam lets in behind the slurrying cavity, and the pressure in the slurrying cavity can continuous increase, and under the dual function of high temperature and pressure, tiny thick liquid foam can break the bubble and disappear, and mix with the thick liquid sediment of chamber diapire under the water droplet scour of condensation. And the liquid discharge assembly is positioned at the bottom of the pulping chamber and is a main circulation channel for discharging steam, so that the steam can carry mixed slurry and pulp residues to be discharged through the liquid discharge assembly. Third, in this embodiment, although the pulping chamber is of an unsealed structure, the drainage assembly is still the main channel for steam discharge, in the pressurization stage, after the drainage assembly is closed, the steam pressure in the pulping chamber is also continuously increased, in the cleaning stage, the increased steam pressure also accelerates the discharge of pulp residue, similar to the negative pressure toilet principle. Therefore, in the process of cleaning and deslagging, the pulping chamber does not need to be cleaned by too much cleaning water in the pulping process of the embodiment, and the pulp slag can be discharged completely.

In this embodiment, the steam introduced into the pulping chamber by the steam generating device may be continuous or intermittent. Similarly, in the embodiment, in the pressurization phase, the steam may be continuously introduced into the pulping chamber, or may be intermittently introduced into the pulping chamber.

Next, in this embodiment, after the slurry discharge is completed and before the slag discharge is started, a step of flushing slag into the pulping chamber may be further provided during the pulping process. Because, arrange thick liquid structure back, the thick liquid sediment of slurrying cavity bottom is more relatively, adds a small amount of water and can wash away a large amount of thick liquids sediment of cavity wall bottom earlier to the slurrying cavity in can be quick, consequently, at the towards sediment in-process, flowing back subassembly can be in the open mode. Certainly, in the process of deslagging, a step of flushing slag into the pulping chamber can be also arranged, and the aim of quickly flushing away the pulp slag at the bottom of the chamber wall can be achieved. It should be noted that, if slag flushing is performed during slag discharging, water and steam can be fed into the pulping chamber synchronously or asynchronously. When in design, the design can be selected according to the actual effect. It should be noted that, even though the step of washing the dregs is provided in the pulping process for the embodiment, the water consumption required in the process of washing the dregs is still much less than that required in the prior soymilk machine which does not use hands to wash.

In addition, it should be noted that, compared with the above-mentioned patent application CN201910481587.5, the present embodiment has the advantages that the pulp adhered to the wall of the pulping chamber is not dried for a long time, the adhesion is small, and the intentional soaking and steam softening are not needed. Because the step of cleaning the cavity wall of the pulping cavity by using the steam is performed after the pulp discharge is finished, the cavity wall is still in a wet environment, and the pulp residue adhered to the cavity wall can be easily washed away after the steam is condensed into water drops.

Example two:

fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is: in this embodiment, the bowl cover does not have bleeder vent and silica gel stopper, and the slurrying cavity that bowl cover and crushing cup enclose to close and form is the cavity of enclosed construction. When steam is introduced into the pulping chamber, the liquid discharge assembly is the only outlet for discharging the steam.

For the food processor of this embodiment, concentrated soy milk can be prepared. The pulping process comprises the following steps:

1) and (3) a crushing stage: and the crushing blade is used for stirring and crushing the mixture of the materials and the water in the pulping chamber to prepare thick raw pulp mixed with the pulp juice and the pulp residue.

2) And (3) a pulp discharging stage: and opening the liquid discharge assembly, and discharging the slurry and the slurry residue mixed with the slurry into the slurry receiving cup through the liquid discharge assembly.

3) A slag discharging stage: the liquid drainage component is kept in an open state, steam is introduced into the pulping chamber by the steam generating device, and the steam drives the residual pulp to be discharged into the pulp receiving cup through the liquid drainage component.

4) And (3) a boiling stage: heating and boiling the raw slurry in the slurry cup until the raw slurry is cooked.

For the embodiment, as the prepared slurry is thick slurry, the thick slurry has poor fluidity, after the liquid discharge assembly is opened, the slurry with good fluidity and a part of slurry residues uniformly mixed with the slurry can be discharged to the slurry receiving cup through the liquid discharge assembly, and as the slurry in the pulping chamber is less and less, the accumulated slurry residues are difficult to discharge from the liquid discharge assembly, and as the slurry residues in the raw slurry are rich in nutrition, if the raw slurry cannot be discharged into the slurry receiving cup to be boiled together, the slurry residues can cause great waste, and the slurry residues are remained in the pulping chamber and are difficult to clean. In the prior art, water is generally fed for many times so as to wash the pulp residue into the pulp receiving cup, so that the water is fed for many times to wash the residue, and after the residue is washed for many times, the concentration of the pulp in the pulp receiving cup is greatly diluted, so that the requirements of consumers who like thick pulp on taste cannot be met.

In this embodiment, on the one hand, in the sediment stage, when the steam of high temperature lets in the slurrying cavity and meets cold chamber wall, can liquefy and condense into the drop of water, the drop of water that condenses erodes the chamber wall under the action of gravity to adsorb thick liquid sediment, the incomplete stain on the chamber wall, and, when the drop of water collects the chamber bottom wall, can further mix with the thick liquid sediment of chamber bottom wall, thereby form the better thick liquid of mobility again and discharge through flowing back the liquid subassembly. On the other hand, because the thick liquid that food preparation machine prepared is the raw thick liquid that does not boil out, the high temperature steam that lets in can heat the slag-liquid mixture in the system thick liquid cavity to thick liquid with thick liquid sediment mixture can be heated in the system thick liquid cavity and form a large amount of foams and with thick liquid sediment parcel, because thick liquid sediment is wrapped up by the foam, thereby promoted the mobility of thick liquid sediment greatly, the foam that mobility is good drives thick liquid sediment and can discharge to receiving in the thick liquid cup through flowing back subassembly together. Therefore, in the embodiment, even if the water and the slag are not injected into the pulping chamber in the slag discharging process, the pulp and the slag can be discharged through the liquid discharging assembly under the action of the steam after the steam is introduced for a certain time.

In this embodiment, in order to increase the efficiency and time of slag discharging, a step of flushing slag into the pulping chamber may be provided after the end of the pulp discharging stage and before the start of the slag discharging stage. In addition, the step of flushing slag by water inflow can also be arranged in the process of deslagging, namely, water inflow and steam inflow are synchronized. Of course, the slag flushing step of this embodiment obviously has a smaller number of slag flushing times than the multiple slag flushing times of the prior art, and in this embodiment, the water inlet and the steam inlet may not be synchronized. Meanwhile, in order to accelerate the slag discharge efficiency, a pressurizing stage can be arranged after the slurry discharge stage and before the slag discharge stage, namely: the liquid discharge component is closed, and the steam generating device continuously or intermittently introduces steam into the pulping chamber to carry out pressurization. Because the pulping chamber is of a sealing structure, when the pressure increasing stage is completed and the slag discharging stage is started, under the action of pressure, steam can drive pulp slag to enter the pulp receiving cup through the liquid discharging assembly, and the principle is similar to that of a negative pressure closestool.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the pulping chamber is a closed structure, the discharging of the pulp is slow by using the gravity of the pulp, and the pulp cannot be naturally discharged at the later stage of the discharging, so that the steam may be continuously or intermittently introduced during the discharging process to increase the pressure in the pulping chamber, and the discharge of the pulp is accelerated by using the steam pressure. And when the steam is used for discharging the slurry, the steam is also condensed into water drops on the cavity wall, and further the slurry residue, slurry foam, residual stains and the like on the cavity wall are washed away. Of course, in this embodiment, for the consumers who do not like the beverage with the feeling of dregs, the dregs discharged by the liquid discharge assembly can be controlled to be directly discharged into the waste water box in the stage of discharging dregs, so as to realize the preliminary filtration of the dregs.

Also, it should be noted that in this embodiment, compared to the above-mentioned patent application CN201910481587.5, the pulp adhering to the wall of the pulping chamber does not dry for a long time, has less adhesion, and does not require intentional wetting and steam softening. Because the step of discharging the slag in the pulping chamber by using the steam is performed after the pulp discharging is finished, and the pulping chamber has a closed structure, the inside of the pulping chamber is always in a wet environment, and the pulp slag adhered to the wall of the chamber is always in a wet and softened state. Therefore, after the steam is condensed into water drops, the pulp slag adhered to the cavity wall can be easily washed away.

It is noted that for the food processor of the present invention, the steam generated by the steam generating device may be high purity steam. However, since part of the steam is immediately liquefied into mist or droplets while being ejected from the water inlet and steam outlet, the steam of the present invention may be a mixture of steam and water.

The food processor of the invention can be a wall-breaking food processor with a lower motor, and can also be a frame-type food processor. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, those illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the foregoing detailed description. Any modification which does not depart from the functional and structural principles of the present invention is intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
