(19) is coupled to two limit switches applied in positions adjacent to the two jointly couplings (30), wherein, in the initial position, the locking ring (19) is electronically identified as being retracted with the first electric circuit of the jointly coupling closed in juxtaposition with the second electric circuit which in turn is identified as being fully opened, thus preventing the main engine (3) to be switched-on with this arrangement, and wherein, in the final forward position of the locking ring (19), the second electric circuit is fully closed, confirming that the first one is fully opened and allowing to switch-on the main engine (3), and wherein, if the lid (8.9) is not placed in the container (5 , 6) or is not correctly placed, the rack portion (34, 35) does not passes through the window in the handle (37) of the cup (5) and/or wing (38) of the pan (6), and/or will not engage the gear wheel, thus not allowing the facet zone (18) of being in position to receive the locking ring (19), and while the latter does not move forward to the jointly locking position of the entire locking system, it is not possible to switch-on the main engine (3) which guarantees the safety of the user who, because is unable to remove the lid with the kitchen machine in operation, can't access to the moving blades and he is not in risk of being hit by any liquid or particles projection that can be projected from the inside of the cup (5) or the pan (6) .

5 . Kitchen machine according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is equipped with an integrated weighing system consisting of at least four load cells (13) arranged inside the machine body base (12), strategically distributed in opposite zones and housed in the machine supports (38), wherein, using load cells (13) in a number equal to four, the physical stability and balance of the kitchen machine is maximized during the operation, allowing a bigger support base of the entire machine body (1) and optimizing the efficiency of the weighing process.

General description of the invention

The invention relates to a kitchen machine and its respective method of operation, for preparing and cooking a large variety of meals in an easier and more efficient way. The present invention aims to improve the operation, safety, ergonomics and versatility in using kitchen machines.

Below the preferred embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the attached figures (A2) .

Kitchen machine developed is comprised by the following hardware elements:

a container to prepare a meal, according to a cooking program, to be attached to a base (12); the container being a cup (5) or a pan (6) .

The base (12) comprising:

a main engine (3) ;

a rotor, attached to the main engine (3), and adapted to drive a blade block (7) ; and

an heating element, configured to heat the reservoir;

A control panel (2), providing an interface circuit for operating the kitchen machine;

A central control unit (4) connected to the control panel (2), comprising processing means adapted to monitor and control in real-time the operation of the hardware elements; said central control unit (4) being configured to:

Execute a safety-standard-driver routine in order to validate the cooking program to be executed;

wherein

said cooking program being defined by a set of operative parameters related to the hardware elements;

the safety-standard-driver routine is a computation routine comprised by operative instructions that relates to interoperability between the operative parameters of the hardware elements involved in the execution of the cooking program as follows :

operative speed of the main engine (3) and operation time of the rotor that drives the blade block (7) ;

direction of rotation of the main engine (3) and its operation speed;

operation speed of the main engine (3) and the heating temperature of the heating element.

The user interacts with the kitchen machine through the control panel (2), which is included in the machine body (1) and is directly connected to a central control unit (4) . The control panel (2) is intended to provide an interface circuit for a user to be able to control all the operation of the kitchen machine. Such operation is monitored and controlled in real-time by the central control unit (4) which is responsible for converting a user input in a machine-instructions to operate the kitchen machine's hardware elements. Therefore, the central control unit is responsible for managing the entire operation of the machine, particularly being configured to set operative parameters, used to define a specific cooking program, related to: operation speed of the main engine (3), its direction of rotation, the heating temperature of the heating element installed in the base of the container (5, 6) where food is cooked, the operation timing of the rotor that drives the blade block (7), and also to manage the safety conditions of operation of the entire machine. In the context of this description, a cooking program should be seen as a set of operative parameters used to configurated the operation of the kitchen machine's hardware elements, according to the user's preferences.

The user inserts the blade block (7) inside the containers (5, 6), which can be removed for cleaning and hygienisation . This blade block (7) consists of four rotating blades fixed at 90° from each other and whose rotation speed is imposed through the coupling with the engine block (24) which completely transmits the rotation of the main engine (3) located directly below this set. Since the main engine (3) is capable of rotating in both directions, also the blade block (7) is capable of rotating in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

The cup (5) and the pan (6) are containers having different cooking volumes, allowing the user to choose one or the other depending on the number of persons for whom the meals to be cooked are intended for. While the cup (5) allows cooking meals for two to four persons, the pan (6) allows cooking a larger number of meals for more than four persons due to its considerably higher capacity compared to the cup (5) . The fact that the containers (5, 6) have quite different capacities does not prevent its applicability in the same machine body (1), since the entire locking system of the base (10, 11) of each container (5, 6) to the machine body (1) is exactly the same. Also, the elements of the pin block (23), the engine coupling socket (24) and the rotating blade block (7) of these containers (5, 6) are equal and of feasible interchangeability, including the locking mechanism (14) of the containers to the machine body ( 1 ) .

Each one of the containers (5, 6) has its own separate lid (8, 9) whose function is to prevent unintentional access to the interior of the container while the blade block is working (7) and prevent the projection of liquid and particles to the outside.

In the center of the lid (8, 9) of each container (5, 6) there is a quadrangular hole with round corners (33) which can be covered using the measuring cup (32) . This measuring cup (32), which is the same for both lids (8, 9), has a graduation scale printed on it thus allowing a quick and easy measurement of small volumes of liquid or solids while using the kitchen machine, without needing to use extra tools.

The measuring cup (32) when placed in the hole (33) does not allow the vapor overpressure inside the container (5, 6), which could induce the projection of liquid or particles, due to its clover leaf shape thus allowing the existence of preferred exhaust paths to the umbrella-type shoulder zone (41) around all the measuring cup (32) . This shoulder zone ensures that any projection is directed downwards towards the lid and not upwards with the risk of reaching the user, thus ensuring maximum safety during operation of the kitchen machine. Notwithstanding the fact that the measuring cup (32) is applicable to the lid (8, 9) of each container (5, 6) in order to prevent the projection of liquid or particles in the direction of the kitchen machine user, it can be fixed to the lid (8, 9) thus allowing its free handling without the occurrence of unintentional detachment. The measuring cup (32) when placed in the hole (33) can be fixed by the user with a small rotating motion.

As the user safety was one of the major issue along the development of this kitchen machine, there is a locking and blocking mechanism (14) acting jointly between the lid (8, 9) and the container (5, 6), and between the container (5, 6) and the machine body (1) . The central control unit (4) is responsible to prevent that the main engine (3) is switched-on without these elements being properly placed in the kitchen machine, by further executing a safety-standard-driver routine as will be explained bellow. This locking system of the container (5, 6) is housed in the machine base (12) and is driven by a locking engine (21) with a worm screw (20) coupled to its shaft, which in turn drives the locking ring (19) by direct contact in order it can do a rotating movement around the vat (25) through the interior of the machine body (1) . In the zone of the machine vat (25) there are four cavities (26) distributed at 90° from each other which are recessed and where the couplings (27) of the base of the cup (5) and/or pan (6) are inlaid when those are placed in the kitchen machine, each cavity (26) having a window (28) which is coincident with the window (29) in the cup base (10) and/or pan base (11) and through which passes the jointly coupling (30) of the rotating locking ring (19) . The rotating locking ring (19) in the forward position causes the locking of the cup base (10) or pan base (11), since this coupling (27) is located between the zone of the cup base (10) or pan base (11) and the zone of the machine vat (25), which prevents the cup (5) or the pan (6) of being removed. The locking ring in the fully forward position allows a full coupling of the container (5, 6) assembly in the machine body (1) and thereby guarantees total safety of use of the kitchen machine even if it is running at high rotating speed.

The locking between the container (5, 6) and machine body (1) of this kitchen machine is always ensured when the main engine (3) driving the rotating blade block (7) is switched-on; when the main engine (3) is switched- off the locking ring (19) automatically recedes and thus the locking system is located only inside of the machine vat (25), thus enabling the container (5, 6) to be removed from the kitchen machine without the need of any further operation .

To ensure that there are no accidents due to the possible projection of liquids or particles while the blade block is working (7) (in particular when they are hot and running at high speed) , it is indispensable the existence of a control and blocking system of the lid (8, 9), managed by the central control unit (4), in the container (5, 6) and simultaneously in the machine body (1), in order to ensure that the kitchen machine is never powered on if the lid is not properly placed, and to prevent its opening during operation. When the lid (8, 9) is placed on the container it remains slightly recessed in the cup (5) or pan (6) in order to achieve the full sealing ring (31) action therein, thus ensuring the complete tightness in this perimeter. The lid (8, 9) completely inserted into the container and, when rotated thereon, allows the rack portion (34, 35) being inserted through the window (39, 40) on the upper part of the handle (35) of the cup (5) or the wing (36) of the pan (6) . Inside this window (39, 40) there is a gear wheel (15) which is engaged by direct contact of the rack (34, 35) as a result of the rotating movement of the lid. This gear wheel (15) is located in the upper end of the shaft (16) and communicates all the induced rotation movements to the locking cylinder (17) on the lower end, wherein this locking cylinder (17) has a facet (18) and is fixed to the cup base (10) or pan base (11) . Depending on the position of the facet (18) of the locking cylinder (17), it allows or prevents the rotation movement of the locking ring (19), as referred in claim 2 of this invention .

When the lid (8, 9) is locked, the facet (18) remains in position to receive the locking ring (19), and the latter, by moving forward, remains jointly solidary to the entire locking system (14) thus not allowing the lid (8, 9) nor the container (5, 6) of being removed from the kitchen machine in operation, thereby ensuring the user safety since he cannot access the moving blade block (7), and as the container (5, 6) is closed the projection of liquid or particles is eliminated. Otherwise, if the lid (8, 9) is not correctly placed, the facet (18) will never remain in position to receive the locking ring (19) and thus the locking operation of the container (5, 6) is not completed, resulting in an inoperative kitchen machine.

This kitchen machine is complemented by a weighing system having four load cells (13) arranged inside the machine body base (12), strategically distributed in opposite zones and housed in machine supports (38) . Using load cells (13) in a number equal to four, the physical stability of the kitchen machine is maximized during the operation by having a larger support base of the machine body (1) and the efficiency of the weighing process is optimized.

The present invention describes a method of operating a kitchen machine as described herein. The method is comprised by a first step of configuring a set of operative parameters of the kitchen machine, defining a cooking program to be executed. This step is performed by a user using the control panel (2) . An operative parameter is a value related to an hardware element of the kitchen machine and can be related to the operation speed of the main engine (3), the direction of rotation of the main engine (3) - clockwise or anticlockwise -, the operation time of the rotor that drives the blade block (7) or the heating temperature of the heating element.

In a second step of the method, the central control unit (4) receives the set of operative parameters and converts each one of them in to a machine-instruction. A machine-instruction should be interpreted as an operative instruction in a computational language that is understandable the respective hardware element.

Before the cooking program is executed, it the third step of the method implies that each machine- instruction is programmed in the respective kitchen machine's hardware element by the central control unit. In an preferred embodiment, the central control unit, prior to converting and programming the operative parameters in the respective kitchen machine's hardware elements, is further configured to execute a safety-standard-driver routine to validate the cooking program selected by the user. A safety-standard-driver routine is a computational routine, comprised by operative instructions defining the interoperability between the operative parameters of the hardware elements involved in the execution of a cooking program, that is executed by the central control unit in order to ensure that all the safety procedures are fulfilled, with the aim of achieving a better performance in the operation of the kitchen machine and also as a way to preserve the physical conditions of all its hardware elements. Said safety procedures can be related either with the control and blocking system of the lid (8, 9), as well with the operative parameters configured by the user. In an alternative embodiment, a safety-standard-driver routine is defined by a three-step procedure:

— correlation step, in which the operative parameters are correlated in order to obtain operative records;

— comparison step, for comparing each operative record with a set of safety records used to define the interoperability conditions between operative parameters ;

— actuation step, for instructing the central control unit (4) to convert the operative parameters in to machine-instructions and to program the machine- instructions in the respective kitchen machine's hardware elements,

if all the operative records comply with the interoperability conditions define in the set of safety records;

if not, the cooking program is not executed and the central control unit (4) sends an error message to the control panel (2) .

The safety records map the interoperability conditions between the several hardware elements and its respective operation parameters. Particularly, a safety record can relate the following operative parameters:

— Operative speed of the main engine (3) and operation time of the rotor that drives the blade block (7); — Direction of rotation of the main engine (3) and its operation speed;

— Operation speed of the main engine (3) and the heating temperature of the heating element.

For example, a safe record can impose that the maximum operative speed of the main engine (3) is only programmed by the central control unit (4) when the heating element is set to be below 60° C, or can impose that when the direction of rotation of the main engine (3) is set to be anticlockwise, the maximum permissible value for the operative speed of the main engine (3) is ½ of its maximum speed . In an alternative embodiment of the method, it is additionally comprised by the step of configuring further operative parameters during the execution of a cooking program. In this case, the central control unit is configured to execute a safety-standard-driver routine to validate said operative parameters in relation to the operative parameters of the cooking program being executed.
