5、isk of electric shock or fire. TheIngress Test of 38.2.2 shall be conducted to determine if liquid ingress results in a risk of fire or electricshock. If the backflow prevention means is removable without the use of tools or the user is instructed toremove it for cleaning, the blender shall be subje

6、cted to the Ingress Test of 38.2.2 without the backflowprevention means in place.28.4.3.1 An open-top container of a blender or a blender-type drink mixer shall be provided with a coverhaving one or more openings. Each cover opening shall not have a dimension larger than 2-5/8 in (66.7mm). At least

7、one opening shall be provided with a minimum 1 in (25.4 mm) dimension for addingingredients while blending and to serve as a vent when blending hot liquids.Exception No. 1: For an individual serving size open-top blender container:a) The cover drink opening shall have a minimum dimension of less tha

8、n 1 in (24.5 mm), but nodimension less than 0.5 in (12.7 mm),b) The product shall be subjected to the Overflow Test of 38.1, but the Blender Cover OpeningSplash Test is not applicable,c) With the lid in place, the articulate probe of Figure 7.1, when applied through the drinkopening, shall not be ma

10、vacuum blending or a means toblock the cover opening when blending with a vacuum in the container. A cover for vacuum blending shallhave means to release the vacuum pressure in the blending container when vacuum blending iscompleted, but is not required to be provided with a cover opening if the cov

11、er is marked in accordancewith 69.3.4 and:a) The blender is provided with a separate cover with a suitable cover opening(s),b) The cover is interlocked to prevent operation without the cover in place, orc) The top of the blender container is guarded by the vacuum pump assembly external to theblender

12、 container such that the maximum distance between the vacuum pump assembly andinside edge of the blender container, with the cover removed, is less than 1 inch (24.5 mm), soingredients cannot readily be added during operation.28.4.4.7 To determine if a closed top thermoplastic blender container or a

13、 vacuum blender containerwithout an opening in the cover complies with 28.4.4.1, the blender is to be tested as mentioned in28.4.4.4 - 28.4.4.6 except that the test fixture shown in Figure 28.2 is not to be used. Instead, the icecubes are to be placed in the container prior to the blender being ener

14、gized.34.3.4 For the Input Test, the blender is also to be operated while blending with a vacuum in the blendingcontainer. If possible under normal use, the vacuum pump and blender are to be operated simultaneously.Otherwise, the vacuum pump input and blending input are to be measured separately wit

15、h the blenderoperated as specified in 34.3.1 after 30 seconds of the blending function. The carrot/water specified in34.3.2 is to be used, but the capacity shall not exceed the rated capacity for blending under a vacuum.34.3.5 For the Normal Temperature Test, a vacuum blender is also to be operated

16、as intended for vacuumand blending functions with a vacuum in the blender container as specified in 34.3.1 and 34.3.4. Thevacuum pump is to be operated at the beginning of each cycle. The vacuum pump is to be operated forthe maximum time allowed when the pump operation is terminated automatically af

17、ter a set time orpressure is achieved. If the pump operation is not automatically terminated, the vacuum pump is to beoperated for 30 seconds or the time specified in the manufacturers instructions, whichever is greater.38.2.2 To determine if a vacuum blender complies with 19.3, the blender containe

18、r is to be filled tomaximum capacity with the salt water solution of 38.2.1. The blender cover is to be secured in place, theblender connected to a supply circuit as specified in 29.3 and the vacuum pump operated for one cycleor until water is no longer picked up. If the vacuum pump can operate at t

19、he same time as the blender,the test is to be repeated with the blender and the pump operating simultaneously. During the test, theappliance shall comply with the Leakage Current Test, Section 30. Following the test, the appliance shallcomply with the Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Test, Section 35.69

20、.3.4 For a closed top blender; an individual serving size open-top blender container, in accordance withthe Exception to 28.4.3.1; and a blender with pour openings on the cover, in accordance with theException No. 2 to 28.4.3.2; the container or cover shall be marked Do Not Blend Hot Liquids. For av

21、acuum blender, the container or cover shall be marked “Do Not Blend Hot Liquids” or, if provided with aseparate cover with an opening in accordance with 28.4.3.1, the cover intended for vacuum blending shallbe marked “Do Not Use This Cover When Blending Hot Liquids.”73.2.1 The following shall be inc

33、 liquids.RATIONALE FOR DECISION:A vacuum blender incorporates a pump that is used to create a vacuum in the blender container duringblending. In order to obtain and maintain a vacuum in the blender container, the container must besomewhat sealed. Therefore, a vacuum blender cover should not be used

34、when blending hot liquids. Theinput and temperature test must also be conducted with the vacuum pump operating and the vacuumpump needs to incorporate backflow protection if ingress of liquid presents an increased risk of fire orelectric shock.Copyright 2018 UL LLCUL LLC, in performing its functions
