In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the washing process may include at least one water intake.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first water intake (i.e., the first water amount) during the washing process may be C1; the water in the crushing cavity can be heated at the power of P/N1 (namely, the first power) while the full-speed water is fed for the first time, so that the temperature of the water in the crushing cavity is rapidly increased, and the water is continuously heated to the temperature point of the first preset temperature T1 at the power of P/N2 (namely, the second power) after the water feeding is finished.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the heating reaches T1, the current heating power (e.g., the second power) may be maintained while the motor is activated, and the water may be stirred at M1RPM (revolution/minute) (e.g., the first rotation speed) until the liquid temperature reaches the second preset temperature T2.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the heating reaches T2, the heating may be stopped, and the motor stirs water at the first rotation speed M1RPM for a first preset time period T1 seconds.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the wastewater may be drained at this point, the cleaning may be completed, or the water may be continued to be added for further cleaning.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first washing may further include: after the motor is controlled to stop working and before the wastewater is discharged, secondary water inflow is carried out, and the motor is controlled to circularly run for a plurality of times in the following working modes: after the second preset time length is operated at the second rotating speed, pausing for a third preset time length; and adding a second amount of water into the crushing cavity during the second water inlet.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the second amount of water C2mL may be fed at full speed, the water may be stirred at the second speed M2RPM for the second preset time period t2 seconds, and stopped for the third preset time period t3, and the intermittent operation of the motor may be cycled at least 2 times.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, after the motor finishes stirring, the slurry discharge rotary valve can be opened to discharge waste water, and the first cleaning is completed.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the set time period may satisfy: 5-10 minutes; for example, 5 minutes may be selected;

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the T2 temperature + the C1 water amount + the C2 water amount may ultimately affect the temperature of the discharged wastewater, and it may be ensured that the wastewater temperature does not exceed 80 ℃.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, when the food prepared in the crushing cavity is discharged, for example, when the pulp is discharged, the cavity temperature of the crushing cavity is between 70 ℃ and 80 ℃, the water temperature can be quickly raised after water is fed by utilizing the cavity residual temperature, and the existing scheme usually does not heat after water is fed, so that the actual water temperature is not high, and therefore, only the dilution of non-stick residues cannot effectively wash the residues. In addition, the residues attached to the cavity are still in a wet state, and the residues are easier to wash down by high-temperature water.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, T1 is above 50 ℃, when the motor is started to agitate and start to scour the chamber side walls, the higher the temperature the better the scouring effect, but when the water temperature reaches T2 (above 90 ℃), there is a risk of boiling slurry overflow, when it is necessary to stop heating and maintain high temperature scouring.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the high temperature state requires continuous flushing, and the higher the rotation speed, the better the cleaning effect of the upper cover, so that the motor can be controlled to circularly perform the stirring operation.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the water re-entering the C2 has two effects, firstly increasing the water volume, better flushing the residue, and further lowering the temperature of the slurry, because the discharged high temperature waste water may deform the waste water box if not blended with cold water.
In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, the scheme of the embodiment can ensure that the temperature of the discharged water does not exceed 80 ℃ through the control of the water inlet amount twice and the setting of the heating temperature point.
Example two
According to the embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment, the second cleaning is added, and the effective cleaning of residues can be realized by controlling the rotation speed change of the motor.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the multiple washing may include: cleaning for the second time; the second cleaning may include: after the wastewater is discharged by the first cleaning, a third amount of water C3 is added into the crushing cavity, the motor is controlled to intermittently work for multiple times at different rotating speeds, and then the wastewater is discharged again.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the controlling the motor to operate intermittently at different rotation speeds a plurality of times may include:
after the third rotation speed M3 is operated for the fourth preset time period t4, pausing for the fifth preset time period t 5;
after the fourth rotation speed M4 is operated for the sixth preset time period t6, the operation is stopped for the seventh preset time period t 7;
at a fifth speed M5 for an eighth preset period t 8.
In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, water C3mL may be fed at full speed, as shown in FIG. 6, where 100 ≦ C3 ≦ 150. The motor may stir water at M3RPM for t4 seconds, wait t5 seconds, e.g., wait 2 seconds; the motor may then stir water at M4RPM for t6 seconds, wait t7 seconds, e.g., wait 2 seconds; further, the motor may stop running after stirring water at M5RPM for t8 seconds. At this time, the slurry discharge rotary valve can be opened to discharge the waste water.

In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the core of the scheme of the embodiment lies in the maintaining time after the temperature point T4 is reached, the scheme of the embodiment prefers that the temperature is 98 ℃ to be close to boiling, a large amount of water vapor is generated in the continuous heating process, the water vapor has a good infiltration effect on sticky materials such as rice and the like adhered to the wall of the cup and the cup cover, and if the time is maintained to be more than 60 seconds, the residues can be well cleaned by matching with the following flushing.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, another core point is the blending of the cleaning water, the amount of advanced C4 water can ensure the amount of fumigation, excessive water intake can increase the heating time and increase the pulping period, because of the long-time boiling, if directly discharged, the high-temperature water has high requirements on the material of the drain pipe and the waste water box, and therefore, some cold water intake is needed to blend the high-temperature water, which is beneficial in that on one hand, the water temperature is reduced, on the other hand, the water amount is increased, and then the water is stirred at the M8 rotation speed, so that a better cleaning effect can be achieved.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this stage also has two water intakes, and also has two effects, namely, firstly, increasing the water quantity, better flushing the residue, and further, reducing the temperature of the slurry, if the slurry is not blended by cold water, the discharged high-temperature wastewater may deform the wastewater box, and the scheme of this embodiment ensures that the residual water box does not exceed 80 ℃ finally by controlling the water quantity of the two intakes and controlling the heating temperature point.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the cancellation stage may be set after the first cleaning is completed, and at this time, a lamp of a cancellation key may be turned on to indicate that the user may cancel the cleaning, and if the user cancels the cleaning, the cleaning is directly ended, and the standby interface is restored, and if the user does not cancel the cleaning, the cleaning is continuously completed according to a preset flow. The specific operation flow can be as shown in fig. 8.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the cleaning effect, the cleaning process is basically over 5 minutes, because the pulping amount is limited, the user has the possibility of continuous pulping, and because the cleaning process is too long and the user experience is poor, the cleaning process can be cancelled, which is in market demand. In addition, if the soybean milk is directly cancelled after the soybean milk making is finished, the soybean milk residue left in the previous pot can influence the soybean milk making effect of the next pot, for example, when the next pot is heated by water feeding with full power, the soybean milk foam left in the previous pot overflows when the boiling point is close to the boiling point, so that the soybean milk making is abnormal.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, based on the above problems, the scheme of this embodiment defines a cancelable stage, that is, after the first cleaning, most of the residues in the previous pot may be washed away so as not to overflow the slurry in the next pot, and it may also be ensured that the duration of the continuous slurry preparation waiting for the user may be acceptable.
