Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model generally relates to the field of cooking preparation equipment.
[0002] This invention relates more specifically to a cooking preparation apparatus comprising: a base forming a pedestal configured to house a working container; and a head having an actuator disposed above the pedestal and configured to be coupled to a food processing tool extending within the working container. This invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to cooking preparation appliances. Background Technology
[0003] Devices of the type described above are known, in which the actuator is driven by planetary motion. This setup allows for the development of multifunctional devices with interchangeable tools, possessing mixing, stirring, and kneading properties that are satisfactory for multiple preparation types.
[0004] However, the drawback of this device is that it requires a complex transmission mechanism to achieve the planetary motion of the drive.
[0005] Devices of the type described above are known, in which the actuator is simply driven to rotate about an axis, while the working container can be mounted to rotate and move about another axis. Such devices can use a static mating tool extending within the working container as a supplement to the food processing tool driven to rotate by the actuator. This implementation allows for satisfactory performance with a simpler construction.
[0006] However, this device is specifically designed for producing certain types of preparations, such as dough. A drawback of this device is that it is not well-suited for producing a wide variety of preparations. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention aims to overcome these shortcomings.
[0008] The technical problem of this utility model is to simplify the structure of a multifunctional cooking preparation device, which includes: a base forming a pedestal configured to house a working container; and a head having a driver arranged above the pedestal and configured to be coupled to a food processing tool extending within the working container.
[0009] Therefore, this utility model relates to a cooking preparation device, comprising: a base for resting on a working surface; a head mounted movable relative to the base, the base forming a base, the head having a driver disposed above the base, the driver being driven to rotate by a motor along a first rotation axis; a working container mounted rotatably on the base along a second rotation axis, the first rotation axis being eccentric relative to the second rotation axis; a food processing tool coupled to the driver and extending within the working container; and a pairing tool extending within the working container, the pairing tool being able to occupy at least two separate working positions within the working container, wherein the cooking preparation device includes an actuating member configured to displace the pairing tool between at least two separate working positions, the actuating member being displaceable by a user between at least two control positions, each of the at least two control positions corresponding to one of the working positions of the pairing tool. These arrangements allow for the convenient implementation of different types of preparations by using a cooking preparation device with a simpler construction than a device using a planetary motion-driven driver. These settings, in particular, allow the mating tool to be positioned more or less close to the side wall of the working container.
[0010] The pairing tool can occupy multiple additional working positions within the working container between the two separate working positions. If needed, one or more working positions specific to a given preparation type can be designated on the device.
[0011] The mating tool can occupy at least one working position within the working container, at least one working position being eccentric relative to the second axis of rotation. This arrangement allows for a greater influence on the preparation present in the working container.
[0012] The mating tool can be translated within the working container. This configuration allows for a simplified construction of the device.
[0013] The cooking preparation equipment may include multiple interchangeable food processing tools. This setup allows for easy preparation of different types of food.
[0014] The cooking preparation equipment may include multiple interchangeable paired tools. This setup allows for easy preparation of different types of products.
[0015] The pairing tool can form a spatula having a surface configured to deflect the preparation toward the food processing tool. This arrangement allows for more efficient mixing of the preparation.
[0016] The mating tool can form a scraper having a surface configured to deflect the preparation from the sidewall of the working container toward the interior of the working container. This arrangement allows for more efficient mixing of the preparation as a whole.
[0017] According to one embodiment, the manipulating member is mounted to be movable on the head. This arrangement allows for a device with a simple construction. It also facilitates the use of the device.
[0018] The manipulator can be translated relative to the head. This configuration allows for a simplified construction of the device.
[0019] The actuating components can be arranged on the side surface of the head. This arrangement simplifies the construction of the device and facilitates its use.
[0020] The mating tool can be installed in a way that allows it to be detached relative to the actuating member. This configuration allows for the use of different mating tools.
[0021] According to another embodiment, the actuating member can be formed on the mating tool. This arrangement also allows for the implementation of a device with a simple construction.
[0022] The cooking preparation device may then include a lid disposed above the working container, and the mating tool is mounted to be movable within a receiving opening configured in the lid. This arrangement allows for a device that is easy to manufacture and use, and limits the risk of spraying from the working container.
[0023] The pairing tool can be translated within the storage opening. This feature simplifies the construction of the device.
[0024] The cooking preparation device may include a housing comprising the base and the head, wherein the cover may be mounted to pivot relative to the housing. This arrangement allows access to the working container without requiring the head to be raised.
[0025] The lid can be mounted to pivot relative to the head. This configuration allows for a reduction in the size of the lid and facilitates the implementation of a movable lid that allows easy access to the working container.
[0026] The mating tool can be mounted so that it can move laterally relative to the free end of the head extending above the working container. This configuration facilitates the use of the device. Attached Figure Description

The cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes: a base 111 for resting on a working surface; and a head 115 mounted movable relative to the base 111. The base 111 forms a base 112. The head 115 has a driver 116 disposed above the base 112. The driver 116 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown). The driver 116 is driven to rotate along a first rotation axis 119.
[0038] The cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a working container 120 mounted on a base 112. The working container 120 is configured to rotate and move along a second axis of rotation 129 on the base 112. When the cooking preparation apparatus 100 occupies... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the indicated working position, the first rotation axis 119 is eccentric relative to the second rotation axis 129. According to one embodiment, the working container 120 is rotatably mounted. The working container 120 can then be manually rotated by the user. According to another embodiment, the working container 120 can be driven to rotate. The working container 120 can then be driven to rotate by the aforementioned motor or another motor.
[0039] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the first rotation axis 119 and the second rotation axis 129 are parallel. More specifically, the first rotation axis 119 and the second rotation axis 129 are perpendicular to the support plane of the base 112.
[0040] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the head 115 is mounted to be pivotable relative to the base 111. The head 115 is mounted to be pivotable relative to the base 111. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The elevation position shown and Figure 2 and Figure 3The head 115 pivots between the lowered positions shown. The lowered position of the head 115 corresponds to the working position of the cooking preparation apparatus 100 for preparing food. When the head 115 is in the raised position, the working container 120 can be placed on or removed from the base 112. Alternatively, the head can be mounted in particular to be slidable and / or detachable relative to the base to allow the head to leave the base for placing or removing the working container.
[0041] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a housing 110, which includes a base 111 and a head 115.

[0042] Cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a lid 125 configured to cover a working container 120 in a working position of the cooking preparation apparatus 100, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown. The lid 125 has a food inlet opening 127. The food inlet opening 127 can be configured to provide ample access to the working container 120. The lid 125 is advantageously made of a transparent or translucent material, or advantageously includes portions made of a transparent or translucent material.
[0043] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 125 is supported by the head 115. Therefore, when the head 115 is in the raised position, the cover 125 also rises, as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a food processing tool 130 coupled to a driver 116. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The food processing tool 130 shown is configured to produce preparations of the type of whipped egg whites. For example... Figure 2 As shown, when the head 115 occupies the working lowered position of the cooking preparation equipment 100, the food processing tool 130 extends in the working container 120.
[0045] The food processing tool 130 is detachable. When the head 115 occupies... Figure 1 When in the raised position shown, the food processing tool 130 can be placed on or removed from the drive 116.
[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a food processing tool 130', which is coupled to a driver 116. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The food processing tool 130' shown is configured to prepare bread dough-type products. Figure 3 As shown, when the head 115 occupies the working lowered position of the cooking preparation equipment 100, the food processing tool 130' extends in the working container 120.
[0047] The food processing tool 130' is detachable. When the head 115 occupies... Figure 4 When in the raised position shown, the food processing tool 130' can be placed on or removed from the drive 116.
[0048] Therefore, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes two interchangeable food processing tools 130; 130'. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 may include other interchangeable food processing tools. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 may include more than two interchangeable food processing tools. As a variation, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 may include only a single food processing tool.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a mating tool 140, which is arranged laterally relative to the food processing tool 130. Figure 2 As shown, the mating tool 140 extends within the working container 120. The mating tool 140 occupies a first working position relative to the center of the side wall 121 of the working container 120.
[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes a mating tool 140', which is arranged laterally relative to the food processing tool 130'. Figure 3 As shown, the mating tool 140' extends within the working container 120. The mating tool 140' occupies a second working position within the working container 120, closer to the side wall 121 of the working container 120. The first and second working positions are separate.
[0051] The cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes an actuating member 145 configured to carry one of the mating tools 140 and 140'. For this purpose, each of the mating tools 140 and 140' is mounted so as to be detachable relative to the actuating member 145. When the head 115 is in the raised position, the mating tools 140 and 140' can be attached to or removed from the actuating member 145.
[0052] Therefore, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 includes two interchangeable mating tools 140; 140'. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 may include more than two interchangeable mating tools. As a variant, the cooking preparation apparatus 100 may include only one mating tool.
[0053] The actuating member 145 is configured to displace the mating tool 140; 140' mounted on the actuating member 145 between the two separate working positions described above. Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment shown, the manipulating member 145 can displace the mating tool 140; 140' toward a third working position, in which the mating tool 140; 140' will be closer to the side wall of the working container 120, a configuration not shown.
[0054] These working positions can be defined such that the mating tools 140; 140' extend a certain distance from the side wall 121 of the working container 120, or such that when the mating tools have deformable walls, the mating tools 140; 140' can contact the side wall 121. The mating tools 140; 140' can, in particular, be formed as spatulas or scrapers, the spatula having a surface configured to deflect the preparation toward the food processing tool 130; 130'; the scraper having a surface configured to deflect the preparation near the side wall 121 of the working container 120 toward the interior of the working container 120.
[0055] More specifically, in Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the actuating member 145 is movably mounted on the head 115. The actuating member 145 is disposed on the side surface 117 of the head 115. The actuating member 145 can be positioned relative to the head 115. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first control position shown is near the free end of the head 115 and closer to the point of passage. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second intermediate control position shown translates the head 115 between the third control position (not shown) and the column connecting the base 112.
[0056] The actuating member 145 is configured to displace the mating tool between the two separate working positions. Therefore, in Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the mating tool 140; 140', carried by the manipulating member 145, can be translated within the working container 120. In other words, Figure 2 The pairing tool 140 shown can be oriented towards Figure 3 The positional displacement of the pairing tool 140' shown is the same as the positional displacement of the other tool. Figure 3As shown, the mating tool 140' occupies a working position within the working container 120, which is eccentric relative to the second axis of rotation 129 of the working container 120. Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the manipulating member 145 can displace the mating tool toward a third working position, in which the mating tool is closer to the side wall 121 of the working container 120, a configuration not shown. As a variation, the mating tool 140; 140' carried by the manipulating member 145 can occupy multiple other working positions in the working container 120 between the two separate working positions.
[0057] Figures 5 to 8 A second embodiment of the cooking preparation apparatus 200 according to the present invention is shown. The cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes: a base 211 for resting on a work surface; and a head 215 mounted to be movable relative to the base 211. The base 211 forms a base 212, in Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen in the image. The head 215 has a driver 216, in... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen, the actuator 216 is arranged above the base 212. The actuator 216 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown). The actuator 216 is driven to rotate along the first rotation axis 219.
[0058] The cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a working container 220 mounted on a base 212. The working container 220 is mounted so as to be rotatable and movable on the base 212 along a second rotation axis 229. When the cooking preparation apparatus 200 occupies... Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the indicated working position, the first rotation axis 219 is eccentric relative to the second rotation axis 229. According to one embodiment, the working container 220 is rotatably mounted. The working container 220 can then be manually rotated by the user.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 The elevation position shown and Figure 7 and Figure 8 The head 215 pivots between the lowered positions shown. The lowered position of the head 215 corresponds to the working position of the cooking preparation apparatus 200 for preparing food. When the head 215 is in the raised position, the working container 220 can be placed on or removed from the base 212. Alternatively, the head can be mounted in particular to be slidable and / or detachable relative to the base to allow the head to leave the base for placing or removing the working container.
[0061] exist Figures 5 to 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a housing 210, which includes a base 211 and a head 215. A motor that drives the actuator 216 to rotate is arranged in the housing 210. The motor may be arranged, in particular, in the head 215 or in the base 211.
[0062] Cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a lid 225 configured to cover a working container 220 at a working position of the cooking preparation apparatus 200, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The lid 225 has a food inlet opening 227. The food inlet opening 227 can be configured to provide ample access to the working container 220. The lid 225 is advantageously made of a transparent or translucent material, or advantageously includes portions made of a transparent or translucent material.
[0063] exist Figures 5 to 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 225 is mounted to pivot relative to the housing 210. More specifically, the cover 225 is mounted to pivot relative to the head 215. Therefore, the cover 225 can be raised or lowered independently of the head 215.
[0064] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a food processing tool 230 coupled to a driver 216. For example, Figure 5 and Figure 7 The food processing tool 230 shown is configured to produce preparations similar to whipped egg whites. For example... Figure 7 As shown, when the head 215 occupies the working position, the food processing tool 230 extends into the working container 220.
[0065] The food processing tool 230 is detachable. When the head 215 occupies... Figure 5 When in the raised position shown, the food processing tool 230 can be placed on or removed from the drive 216.
[0066] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a food processing tool 230', which is coupled to a driver 216. For example, Figure 6 and Figure 8 The food processing tool 230' shown is configured to prepare bread dough-type products. Figure 8 As shown, when the head 215 occupies the working lowered position of the cooking preparation equipment 200, the food processing tool 230' extends in the working container 220.
[0067] The food processing tool 230' is detachable. When the head 215 occupies... Figure 8 When in the raised position shown, the food processing tool 230' can be placed on or removed from the drive 216.
[0068] Therefore, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes two interchangeable food processing tools 230; 230'. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 may include other interchangeable food processing tools. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 may include more than two interchangeable food processing tools. As a variation, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 may include only a single food processing tool.
[0069] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a pairing tool 240, which is arranged laterally relative to the food processing tool 230.
[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes a pairing tool 240' which is arranged laterally relative to the food processing tool 230'.
[0071] As in Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen more clearly, the cover 225 has a storage opening 226. The storage opening 226 is configured to store the mating tool 240 or mating tool 240'. The mating tool 240 and mating tool 240' are detachable relative to the cover 225.
[0072] Therefore, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 includes two interchangeable mating tools 240; 240'. If desired, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 may include more than two interchangeable mating tools. As a variant, the cooking preparation apparatus 200 may include only one mating tool.
[0073] The mating tool 240; 240' installed in the storage opening 226 includes a lower portion 241; 241' extending in the working container 220 and an upper portion 242; 242' extending above the cover 225, the upper portion 242; 242' forming an operating member 245; 245' configured to be operated by a user; and a retaining member 243; 243' configured to abut against the cover 225. Thus, the operating member 245; 245' is formed on the mating tool 240; 240'.
[0074] More specifically, in Figures 5 to 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the mating tools 240 and 240' can be translated within the receiving opening 226 by means of the manipulating members 245 and 245'. Therefore, when the head 215 occupies the cooking preparation device 200... Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the workpiece is in the lowered position as shown, the mating tools 240 and 240' can be translated within the work container 220. The receiving opening 226 is arranged laterally relative to the free end of the head 215. Therefore, the mating tools 240 and 240' are mounted so that they can move laterally relative to the free end of the head 215 extending above the work container 220, as shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The retaining member 243; 243' abuts against the outer rib 228 of the receiving opening 226. The outer rib 228 extends outside the working container 220. The receiving opening 226 extends a distance from the second rotation axis 229. Therefore, the mating tools 240; 240' can occupy at least one working position in the working container 220, which is eccentric relative to the second rotation axis 229.
[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, the mating tool 240 extends within the working container 220. The mating tool 240 occupies a first working position relative to the center of the side wall 221 of the working container 220.
[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, the mating tool 240' extends within the working container 220. The mating tool 240' occupies a second working position within the working container 220, closer to the side wall 221 of the working container 220. The first and second working positions are separate.
[0077] These working positions can be defined such that the mating tools 240; 240' extend a certain distance from the side wall 221 of the working container 220, or such that when the mating tools have deformable walls, the mating tools 240; 240' can contact the side wall 221. The mating tools 240; 240' can, in particular, be formed as spatulas or scrapers, the spatula having a surface configured to deflect the preparation toward the food processing tool 230; 230'; the scraper having a surface configured to deflect the preparation near the side wall 221 of the working container 220 toward the interior of the working container 220.
[0078] according to Figures 1 to 4 The cooking preparation apparatus 100 of the first embodiment shown is used and operated in the following manner.
[0079] The user raises head 115 to mount a food processing tool 130; 130' suitable for the type of preparation to be achieved on drive 116. The user can also mount a pairing tool 140; 140' suitable for the type of preparation to be achieved on manipulator 145. The user then lowers head 115 to place the selected food processing tool 130; 130' and pairing tool 140; 140' into the working container 120. The user can then position manipulator 145 in a control position corresponding to the desired working position for pairing tool 140; 140'. Therefore, manipulator 145 can be displaced by the user. Rotation of food processing tool 130; 130' along a first rotation axis 119 of drive 116, separate from the second rotation axis 129 of working container 120, allows for more uniform mixing than simple rotation of food processing tool 130; 130'. The presence of pairing tool 140; 140' allows for increased efficiency in the mixing operation. The displaceable nature of the pairing tools 140; 140' within the working container 120 allows for further improvements in the efficiency of the mixing operation. The user can select the desired working position of the pairing tools 140; 140' by selecting the corresponding control position of the manipulating member 145. When the prepared product is not too viscous and / or not too sticky, the user can envision displacing the pairing tools 140; 140' during the preparation process, for example, to prevent the formation of dough balls or to pick up the prepared product extending onto the sidewall 121 of the working container 120. Since the pairing tools 140; 140' can occupy at least two separate working positions, the manipulating member 145 can be displaced by the user between at least two control positions, each corresponding to one of the working positions of the pairing tools 140; 140'.
[0080] according to Figures 5 to 8 The cooking preparation apparatus 200 of the second embodiment shown is used and operated in the following manner.
[0081] The user raises head 215 to mount a food processing tool 230; 230' suitable for the type of preparation to be achieved on drive 216. The user then lowers head 215 to place the selected food processing tool 230; 230' into working container 220. The user lowers lid 225 on working container 220 to introduce a mating tool 240; 240' suitable for the type of preparation to be achieved into the receiving opening 226 of lid 225. Holding member 243; 243' then abuts against the outer rib 228 of the receiving opening 226 of lid 225. Thus, actuating member 245; 245' remains outside lid 225, while the lower portion 241; 241' of mating tool 240; 240' extends within working container 220. The user can then position the actuating member 245; 245' of mating tool 240; 240' to a control position corresponding to the desired working position for mating tool 240; 240'. Therefore, the manipulating members 245; 245' can be displaced by the user. Rotation of the food processing tool 230; 230' along a first rotation axis 219, separate from the second rotation axis 229 of the working container 220, allows for more uniform mixing than simple rotation using the food processing tool 230; 230'. The presence of the mating tool 240; 240' allows for increased efficiency in the mixing operation. The displaceable nature of the mating tool 240; 240' within the working container 220 allows for further improvement in the efficiency of the mixing operation. The user can select the working position of the mating tool 240; 240' by selecting the control position of the manipulating members 245; 245'. When the prepared product is not too viscous and / or not too sticky, the user can envision displacing the mating tool 240; 240' during the preparation process, for example, to prevent the formation of dough balls or to pick up the prepared product extending onto the sidewall 221 of the working container 220. Since the pairing tools 240; 240' can occupy at least two separate working positions, the manipulating member 245; 245' can be displaced by the user between at least two control positions, each corresponding to one of the working positions of the pairing tools 240; 240'.
[0082] These setups allow for the acquisition of cooking preparation devices 100; 200, which are suitable for achieving different types of preparations, implementing mixing operations of different ingredients, achieving good result quality, and using a simpler construction than that of devices implementing food processing tools driven by planetary motion.
[0083] Various modifications and / or improvements that are obvious to those skilled in the art can be applied to the embodiments of the present invention described herein, provided that such modifications and / or improvements do not exceed the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
