SMART MIXER HAVING AUTOMATIC DISPENSING AND MIXING FEATURES

摘要

A smart mixer appliance includes a set of ingredient trays. The appliance includes a nozzle-based food distribution assembly to transfer ingredients from the trays into a container. A motor system drives a set of mixer beaters to mix the container contents. A user accesses a network resource and selects a recipe having instructions for ingredient provisioning and mixing. The ingredient trays are loaded with the recipe ingredients. The recipe instructions are converted into a control procedure suitable to automatically control the ingredient transfer and mixing operations. A controller implements the recipe instructions by managing the operation of the food distribution system and motor system according to the control procedure.
