  • Publication number: 20190246831
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a transfer cavity, a material supplying system and a cooking appliance. The transfer cavity has an inner cavity, and is provided with a material inlet, a material outlet and a fluid inlet, and the inner cavity communicates with the material inlet, the material outlet and the fluid inlet, wherein the fluid inlet is arranged on a bottom wall of the transfer cavity or a position on a side wall of the transfer cavity that is relatively close to the bottom wall of the transfer cavity. According to the transfer cavity provided by the solution, the air may approximately enter the transfer cavity from the bottom of the transfer cavity, thereby being conducive to lifting and dispersing a material by wind power, and avoiding the problem that it is difficult to drive and discharge the material due to the accumulation of the material in the transfer cavity.

  • Publication number: 20190174959
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a food processor which includes a main engine, a stirring cup, and a cup cover assembly. A main control board is defined in the main engine and the stirring cup is mounted on the main engine. The cup cover assembly covers the stirring cup and the bottom of the stirring cup defines a heating device which electrically is connected to the main control board. The cup cover assembly includes an upper cover and an inner surface of the upper cover defines an anti-overflow detecting element, and the anti-overflow detecting element electrically is connected to the main control board. When a part of foam contacts the anti-overflow detecting element, the main control board controls the heating device to stop heating and no foam is generated, therefore preventing the foam liquid from overflowing the stirring cup.
