Description

The invention relates to an electric motor-operated kitchen appliance according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Such kitchen machines are already known in various ways. Basically, for example, on the EP 0 757 530 B1 referenced. From the EP 2 371 251 A1 or the WO 2012/041660 A1 it is known to design such a kitchen appliance with at least one second electric motor, the second or further electric motor taking on a backup task with regard to the kitchen appliance. From the WO 2009/112 364 A1 it is known to provide a vegetable cutting unit derived from the first electric motor in the drive.

From the DE 100 48 535 A1 a second means of action is known in a food processor, which acts in an ice-making vessel within the mixing vessel. From the DE 10 2009 016 897 A1 an electric motor-operated kitchen appliance is known which has an attachment part consisting of a moving part and a fixed part. The moving part is arranged inside the stirring vessel and below the fixed part with regard to its action.

Based on the prior art presented, the invention is concerned with the task of specifying an electric motor-operated kitchen appliance in an advantageous embodiment.

This object is achieved in the subject matter of claim 1, which is based on the fact that the first agent can be arranged inside the stirred vessel and the second agent can be arranged outside the stirred vessel, that a cover is provided for the stirred vessel and that the first agent can be arranged below the on the stirred vessel applied lid and the second agent above the lid applied to the stirred vessel can be arranged for acting outside the stirred vessel on further preparation, regardless of the first agent.

The kitchen appliance designed in this way provides the user with two possible ways of acting, which are motor-driven and can be operated independently of one another to act on the food. For example, the first means of action can drive a stirrer located in the mixing vessel and the second means of action can drive an independently electric motor-operated cutting device, with which food components such as potatoes, carrots, etc. to be introduced into the mixing vessel can be cut in the same food processor regardless of the operation of the first action means can and can then be entered, for example, into the stirred vessel.

It is preferred that the second means of action can be arranged in a vertical projection of the stirred vessel, at the top with respect to the stirred vessel, that is to say above a stirred vessel bottom, further above a stirred vessel cover.

The first means of action can be arranged inside the stirring pot, such as the known agitator, while the second means of action can be arranged outside of the stirring vessel.

With regard to the mentioned cover of the stirred vessel, it is provided that the first action means can be arranged below the cover applied to the stirred vessel and the second action means can be arranged above the cover applied to the stirred vessel. When in use, the cover separates the agents from one another. This can also go hand in hand with the fact that an action on food can be carried out by an electric motor inside the mixing vessel, below the lid, which develops particular dangerous moments, while the action outside the mixing vessel can be provided in terms of speed and / or sensitivity in such a way that there is as little risk as possible goes out for a user.

Furthermore, it is preferred that an element actuated by an electric motor, for example a locking element, is provided for locking the lid on the stirring vessel and that this electric motor can be used as a second electric motor for driving the second means of action. In this respect, a second electric motor in the kitchen appliance can be used for two completely different tasks, on the one hand a task outside of the action on food, for example a safety task in relation to, for example, locking the mixing vessel, on the other hand in the sense of acting on food, to drive the second agent.

It is also preferred that the second means of action can be optionally coupled to the second electric motor. The kitchen appliance can thus also be operated without further ado without the second electric motor taking over a task with regard to a second means of action, but only performing its otherwise intended task, for example with regard to locking the lid of the mixing vessel.

With regard to the second means of action, it can in particular be a cutting mechanism.

Furthermore, the second means of action can have a handling extension, for example a handling frame. This handling extension can be arranged, for example like a handle, surrounding or protruding from the actual means of action, for example the cutting mechanism, and thus enable pivoting, in particular coupling and uncoupling, with respect to the second electric motor. The pivoting can also refer solely or in addition to the fact that the cutting mechanism is pivoted into the area of the stirring vessel, that is, preferably pivoted into a vertical projection surface of the stirring vessel or away from the stirring vessel and / or is completely removed. It can also, for example, (merely) be swiveled up about an axis of rotation that is fixed on the kitchen appliance or be swiveled (further) in such a way that it can be accommodated in a receptacle formed, for example, on the rear of the kitchen appliance.

The invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which, however, only represents an exemplary embodiment. Here shows:

• 1 a side view of the food processor with a mixing vessel and a second agent located above it;
• 2 a top view of the food processor according to 1 ;
• 3 a perspective view obliquely from above of the food processor according to 1 respectively 2 ; and
• 4th a perspective detail view of the food processor in the area of the coupling means of the second action means.

A food processor is shown and described 1 with a mixing vessel 2 and a first action means arranged therein in the form of an agitator 3 .

Next, the food processor points 1 one not shown in detail, inside the housing 4th located first electric motor. The first electric motor drives the first means of action, that is to say the agitator in the exemplary embodiment 3 , on. Next, the food processor points 1 a second electric motor 5 on, the in the embodiment a locking element, here in the form of a locking roller 6th , drives, to lock a lid 7th of the stirring vessel 2 in the state of use. A release can also take place, preferably by means of a motor, when the stirred vessel 2 is to be removed or, for example, when the agitator is at a standstill 3 on the food in the mixing vessel with the lid removed 7th should be acted upon.

Next, the food processor points 1 a second agent 8th on, which is in the embodiment in the usage state directly above the lid 7th is located. In any case, it is preferred that the second agent 8th at least when in use within a vertical projection surface F. , compare 3 , the mixing vessel 2 or the lid 7th , is located.

The second agent 8th can be seen in the exemplary embodiment and preferably above the cover 7th arranged. While the food processor is in operation 1 for example with the agitator 3 on the food to be prepared or cooked inside the mixing vessel 2 is acted on, can by means of the second action agent 8th independent of this and outside of the stirred vessel 2 further preparation, in particular food, such as potatoes, carrots or the like, for example by cutting.

Independently of this, a means of action, in particular the second means of action, can also be a squeezing mechanism, a spindle part, or others.

The second agent 8th clearly shows a mechanism of action not shown in detail here 9 , which can be, for example, a cutting unit, at least partially, in the exemplary embodiment and preferably completely, except for a reaching arm 10 , from a handling frame 11 is surrounded. The handling frame 11 can initially protect against unintentional intervention in the second means of action. It can also be used for handling, in particular for pivoting the second action means.

The second means of action can be pivoted, for example, in such a way or so far that it can be moved into a receptacle formed in the kitchen appliance, for example on the rear side (the operating elements are on the front side). On the other hand, the receptacle can also serve to receive an action means which can be removed for this purpose.

For this purpose, the named arm is in detail 10 , which in the exemplary embodiment and preferably runs at an angle, about a pivot axis, which is the axis shown y can be, or one to the axis mentioned y parallel axis x , pivotable, this in a vertically aligned position with respect to the in 3 horizontal position shown for example.

The arm 10 furthermore preferably includes a transmission, in the form of a shaft or a gear, of a rotary drive of the second electric motor to the cutting mechanism, for example. For example, the shaft of the second electric motor in the coupled state can be a shaft in the arm via a frictional connection 10 drive.

Here, this transmission means is specifically engaged or disengaged by engaging the locking roller in the embodiment example.
