Abstract

A cannabis preparation mixer includes a processor, electrically coupled with each of a weighing system, a heating system, a mixing system, and a user interface within a main housing. The processor receives input from the weighing system and the user interface and transmits instructions to the heating system and the mixing system to heat and mix a mixture according to a predetermined pattern selected based upon a weight of herbs sensed at the weighing system. A heating system includes a heat plate that sits on top of a heating element which sits on top of the insulation pad. A mixing system includes a magnetic motor with a magnetic stirrer and wireless temperature probe that rotates above the magnetic motor, the magnetic stirrer having a wireless temperature probe therein. The user interface receives input from a user to identify user preferences and settings.

Dependent claims

A cannabis preparation mixer, comprising:

a processor, electrically coupled with each of a weighing system, a heating system, a mixing system, and a user interface, the processor configured to:
receive 1) an indication of a volume quantity of ingredients to be cooked by the heating system through the user interface, 2) an indication of a weight quantity of cannabis being weighed on the weighing system to be added to the volume quantity of ingredients, and 3) an indication from a user of a potency of the cannabis being weighed on the weighing system through the user interface;
display in real time to the user through the user interface a maximum THC concentration for a final solution comprising the volume quantity of ingredients and the weight quantity of cannabis if the volume quantity and the weight quantity are combined and cooked;
and
transmit operational instructions to the heating system and the mixing system to heat and mix a mixture according to a predetermined pattern selected based upon at least the volume quantity and the weight quantity to maintain a desired temperature, mixing speed, and cook time for the maximum THC concentration displayed;
wherein the weighing system is coupled to and exposed on a main housing, the weighing system comprising a scale plate and a scale sensor, wherein the scale plate sits on top of the scale sensor and provides a weighing surface which is substantially horizontal;
wherein the heating system is coupled to and exposed on the main housing and comprises a heating element, a heat plate, and an insulation pad, wherein the heat plate sits on top of the heating element which sits on top of the insulation pad, the heat plate providing a heating surface which is substantially horizontal;
wherein the cannabis preparation mixer further comprises a decarboxylation canister comprising a sleeve, a canister nested within the sleeve, a basket positioned within the canister, and a lid covering the decarboxylation canister, wherein the decarboxylation canister is configured to cause cannabis to go through decarboxylation when heated on the heating system;
wherein the mixing system comprises a magnetic motor configured to magnetically couple a magnetic stirrer with a magnetic driver to cause the magnetic stirrer to rotate above the driver, the magnetic stirrer having a wireless temperature probe therein;
and
wherein the user interface is configured to communicatively couple with the processor and configured to receive input from a user to identify user preferences and settings.
