The utility model relates to a food processor comprising a food processor base unit with a pot holding part and a preparation pot which can be accommodated in the pot holding part. The food processor features an isolation cover that can be fastened to the food processor base unit and fit over the preparation pot to reduce noise emissions.

Furthermore, the utility model relates to an insulating cover for reducing noise emissions of a food processor, wherein the food processor comprises a food processor base unit with a pot holding part and a preparation pot receivable in the pot holding part. The screen is characterized in that it can be fastened to the base unit of the food processor and slipped onto the preparation pot.

Background

Using a food processor, the cooking process, baking process, mixing process, chopping process, or general preparation/processing process of the food product may be automated or partially automated.

It is known that food processors comprise a drive unit for a rotating unit (e.g. a stirring unit, a chopping unit, a mixing unit, etc.) arranged in a pan. The rotation unit arranged in the pan can be moved, in particular rotated, by means of the drive unit. The pan may comprise a pan base arranged at the lower end of the pan, a pan housing adjoining the pan base and optionally a pan cover, wherein the pan upper opening opposite the pan base may be closed with the pan cover.

The actual working unit may be integrated into the base unit of the food processor (food processor base unit) on or in which the pan may be placed. To this end, the food processor base unit may include a pan holder. The rotation unit may be arranged close to the pot base, i.e. at the lower end of the pot, wherein the pot base may comprise an opening through which the shaft of the drive unit may protrude and may be mechanically coupled to the rotation unit. Such food processors (food processor base unit and pan) are used, for exampleIs sold under the name of (a).

The small noise emissions are a disadvantage of such known food processors, which users feel to some extent that they need to optimise or "noise too much". The pot and base unit of the food processor may emit noise and sound in the sense of loudspeakers, which noise and sound propagates in the room. Another disadvantage of such food processors is the relatively high heat loss from the pan, which results in an adverse effect on the energy efficiency of the food processor. Furthermore, the cooking time is thereby prolonged.

It is therefore the underlying problem of the present utility model to provide a food processor which reduces the above-mentioned drawbacks and improves the noise and/or energy performance of the food processor. The same problem is faced with the same cage as proposed by the present utility model.
