Abstract
A method for operating a mixing appliance includes receiving data indicative of a first operational parameter associated with the drive assembly rotation of the mixing appliance. Additionally, the method includes determining the first operational parameter based on the received data. Furthermore, the method includes operating the motor to adjust a second operational parameter associated with the drive assembly rotation based on the determined first operational parameter. The first operational parameter is different from the second operational parameter.
Claims18
A method for operating a stand mixer, the stand mixer comprising a drive assembly including a motor and a drive shaft, the motor configured to rotate the drive shaft to drive a component of the stand mixer, the method comprising:
- receiving, with a controller, data indicative of a torque of the motor;
- determining, with the controller, the torque of the motor based on the received data;
- and
- operating, with the controller, the motor to adjust an operational parameter associated with drive assembly rotation based on the determined torque of the motor, the operational parameter different from the torque of the motor.
A method for operating a mixing appliance, the mixing appliance comprising a drive assembly including a motor and a drive shaft, the motor configured to rotate the drive shaft to drive a component of the mixing appliance, the method comprising:
- receiving, with a controller, data indicative of a first operational parameter associated with drive assembly rotation;
- determining, with the controller, the first operational parameter based on the received data;
- and
- operating, with the controller, the motor to adjust a second operational parameter associated with the drive assembly rotation based on the determined first operational parameter, the first operational parameter different from the second operational parameter.
A stand mixer, comprising:
- a base;
- a support column coupled to the base and extending upwardly from the base;
- a head coupled to an upper end of the support column and extending from the support column above the base;
- an attachment coupled to the head, the attachment configured to manipulate food content;
- a drive assembly including a motor and a drive shaft, the motor configured to rotate the drive shaft to drive a component of the attachment;
- a sensor configured to generate data indicative of a first operational parameter associated with drive assembly rotation;
- and
- a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and the motor, the controller configured to:
- operate the motor to adjust a second operational parameter associated with drive assembly rotation based on the indicated first operational parameter, the first operational parameter a different type of parameter than the second operational parameter.
