Description

APPAREIL ELECTROMENAGER DE PREPARATION CULINAIRE, ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE FOR CULINARY PREPARATION,
OU GENRE ROBOT MENAGER MULTI-USAGES,OR MULTI-PURPOSE HOUSEHOLD ROBOT TYPE,
ET RECIPIENT DE TRAVAIL MULTI-USAGESAND MULTI-PURPOSE WORKING CONTAINER
DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique général des appareils électroménagers de préparation culinaire du genre robot ménager multi-fonctions.The present invention relates to the general technical field of household food preparation appliances of the multi-function household robot type.
TECHNIQUE ANTERIEUREPRIOR ART
Les robots ménagers multi-fonctions peuvent notamment hacher la viande ou de manière plus générale les aliments solides, mélanger les liquides, et même piler la glace. Les appareils performants pour le mélange des liquides comportent généralement un récipient de travail de forme haute, amovible du socle de l'appareil, connu sous le nom de blender. Les blenders peuvent également piler la glace par petites quantités. Les récipients de travail et les outils de travail des robots prévus pour hacher la viande ou les aliments solides mélangent généralement mal les liquides, et ne pilent pas la glace.Multifunctional household robots can notably mince meat or more generally solid food, mix liquids, and even crush ice. Powerful devices for mixing liquids generally include a tall working container, removable from the base of the device, known as a blender. Blenders can also crush ice in small quantities. Work containers and robot work tools for grinding meat or solid food generally mix liquids poorly, and do not crush ice.
C'est pourquoi les appareils de l'art antérieur prévus pour hacher les aliments solides, mélanger les liquides et piler la glace de manière satisfaisante comportent le plus souvent deux récipients de travail, l'un pour le travail des aliments solides, l'autre pour le travail des liquides et de la glace.This is why the devices of the prior art intended for chopping solid foods, mixing liquids and crushing the ice satisfactorily most often have two working containers, one for working solid foods, the other for working liquids and ice.
Ces appareils sont donc encombrants. Ils sont également généralement difficiles à nettoyer, car ils comportent de nombreuses pièces et nécessitent un démontage parfois fastidieux, ou comportent des parties coupantes nécessitant une attention particulière de la part de l'utilisateur. Notamment, l'outil de travail des blenders comporte quatre lames et est le plus souvent monté mobile en rotation au fond du récipient de travail. Le nettoyage d'un tel récipient étant malaisé, l'utilisateur peut être conduit à le négliger, ce au détriment de l'hygiène.These devices are therefore bulky. They are also generally difficult to clean, because they have many parts and require sometimes tedious disassembly, or have cutting parts requiring special attention from the user. In particular, the blender working tool has four blades and is most often mounted rotatably at the bottom of the working container. The cleaning of such a container being difficult, the user can be led to neglect it, to the detriment of hygiene.
De plus ces appareils nécessitent le plus souvent le transfert de la préparation dans un autre récipient, que ce soit pour sa conservation, sa cuisson, ou sa présentation. En particulier, il n'est pas possible d'utiliser dans un four à micro-ondes un blender comportant un élément métallique tel que l'outil de travail disposé au fond de ce récipient. Il en résulte des nettoyages supplémentaires de récipients. L'utilisateur a de surcroît besoin d'une surface de travail plus importante.In addition, these devices most often require the transfer of the preparation to another container, whether for storage, cooking or presentation. In particular, it is not possible to use in a microwave oven a blender comprising a metallic element such as the working tool placed at the bottom of this container. This results in additional cleaning of containers. The user also needs a larger work surface.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSTATEMENT OF THE INVENTION
L'objet de l'invention vise à proposer un appareil électroménager de préparation culinaire qui remédie aux inconvénients précités et qui permette de réaliser les fonctions mélanger, mixer, hacher, piler la glace dans le même récipient de travail, en utilisant un nombre très réduit d'accessoires.The object of the invention is to propose a household appliance for culinary preparation which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and which makes it possible to carry out the functions of mixing, mixing, chopping, crushing ice in the same working container, using a very small number. of accessories.
Un autre objet de l'invention vise à proposer un appareil électroménager de préparation culinaire offrant une grande facilité d'utilisation et de nettoyage.Another object of the invention is to propose a household appliance for culinary preparation offering great ease of use and cleaning.
Un autre objet de l'invention vise à proposer un appareil électroménager de préparation culinaire permettant de conserver, cuire ou présenter la préparation réalisée, sans avoir à la transférer dans un autre récipient.Another object of the invention is to propose a household appliance for culinary preparation making it possible to store, cook or present the preparation produced, without having to transfer it to another container.
Un autre objet de l'invention vise à proposer un récipient de travail multi- usages.Another object of the invention is to propose a multi-purpose working container.
Les buts assignés à l'invention sont atteints avec un appareil électroménager de préparation culinaire du genre robot ménager multi- fonctions, comportant un récipient de travail avec un fond et une ouverture opposée, ainsi qu'un ensemble de travail rotatif entraîné par un moyen moteur relié audit ensemble de travail par une tige d'entraînement et sur lequel est monté un outil de travail disposé sensiblement à proximité du fond dudit récipient, ledit outil définissant ainsi une zone de travail, caractérisé en ce que le récipient comporte au moins une nervure se prolongeant le long d'une paroi dudit récipient dans la zone de travail, en ce que l'ensemble de travail rotatif est amovible par rapport au récipient de travail, et en ce que l'ensemble de travail rotatif comporte une embase mobile en rotation autour de l'axe de l'ensemble de travail, laquelle vient s'appuyer sur un relief formé sur le fond du récipient.The objects assigned to the invention are achieved with an appliance for preparing food of the multi-household robot type. functions, comprising a working container with a bottom and an opposite opening, as well as a rotary working set driven by a motor means connected to said working set by a drive rod and on which is mounted a working tool disposed substantially near the bottom of said container, said tool thus defining a working area, characterized in that the container has at least one rib extending along a wall of said container in the working area, in that the assembly of rotary work is removable with respect to the working container, and in that the rotary working set comprises a base movable in rotation about the axis of the working set, which comes to rest on a relief formed on the bottom of container.
A priori, les nervures créent des tourbillons au sein de la préparation, augmentant notablement avec la consistance des aliments traités. La présence de nervures était essentiellement envisageable pour des appareils susceptibles de traiter des produits autres que liquides ou de faible consistance. Toutefois grâce à l'embase mobile en rotation autour de l'axe de l'ensemble de travail, venant s'appuyer sur un relief formé sur le fond du récipient, l'ensemble de travail est fermement maintenu sur son axe de rotation. La réalisation de préparations hachées optimales peut être effectuée sans risque d'écart de l'ensemble de travail de son axe de rotation.A priori, the ribs create swirls within the preparation, increasing significantly with the consistency of the processed food. The presence of ribs was essentially possible for devices capable of handling products other than liquids or of low consistency. However, thanks to the base movable in rotation about the axis of the working assembly, coming to rest on a relief formed on the bottom of the container, the working assembly is firmly held on its axis of rotation. The production of optimal chopped preparations can be carried out without risk of deviation of the working assembly from its axis of rotation.
La présence d'une ou plusieurs nervures permet toujours comme auparavant le mélange optimal des préparations liquides en favorisant l'apparition de tourbillons au sein du liquide. L'utilisateur bénéficie aussi d'un récipient et d'un ensemble de travail très faciles à nettoyer, l'ensemble de travail rotatif étant amovible par rapport au récipient de travail. De plus l'utilisateur peut utiliser un four à micro-ondes pour réchauffer ou cuire sa préparation, le récipient de travail ne comportant pas de pièces métalliques telles qu'un insert ou un outil de travail.The presence of one or more ribs always allows, as before, the optimal mixing of the liquid preparations by promoting the appearance of vortices within the liquid. The user also benefits from a container and a working assembly that are very easy to clean, the rotary working assembly being removable relative to the working container. In addition, the user can use a microwave oven to reheat or cook his preparation, the working container not comprising metal parts such as an insert or a working tool.
Ainsi il est possible avec l'appareil selon l'invention de réaliser dans le même récipient de travail, avec le même outil ou le même type d'outil, deux types de préparations habituellement réalisées dans deux récipients différents avec deux outils différents. Il en résulte une simplification de l'utilisation de l'appareil, puisqu'un seul récipient de travail est utilisé.Thus it is possible with the apparatus according to the invention to carry out in the same working container, with the same tool or the same type of tool, two types of preparations usually carried out in two different containers with two different tools. This results in a simplification of the use of the device, since only one working container is used.
Avantageusement la ou les nervures se prolongent le long de la paroi du récipient dans la zone de travail avec une épaisseur variable, par exemple décroissante en direction du fond du récipient.Advantageously, the rib or ribs extend along the wall of the container in the working area with a variable thickness, for example decreasing towards the bottom of the container.
L'épaisseur variable de cette ou de ces nervures dans la zone de travail de l'outil permet d'éviter l'agglomération de la viande ou des autres aliments contre les parois lors de la réalisation de hachés.The variable thickness of this or these ribs in the working area of the tool makes it possible to avoid the agglomeration of the meat or other food against the walls when making chopped.
De manière avantageuse l'appareil selon l'invention comporte une coupelle venant en contact annulaire au moins partiel avec le récipient et comportant un orifice prévu pour le passage de la tige entraînant l'ensemble de travail.Advantageously, the apparatus according to the invention comprises a cup coming into at least partial annular contact with the container and comprising an orifice provided for the passage of the rod driving the working assembly.
Ainsi, la préparation ne risque pas de déborder du récipient de travail, et l'utilisateur peut réaliser de la glace pillée sans craindre que la préparation ne s'échappe du récipient de travail par le couvercle.Thus, the preparation is not likely to overflow from the working container, and the user can make looted ice without fear that the preparation will escape from the working container through the lid.
Selon une version avantageuse de l'invention, le récipient de travail est en vitrocéramique.According to an advantageous version of the invention, the working container is made of glass ceramic.
Ainsi l'utilisateur peut hacher ou mixer les aliments à préparer dans le récipient de travail, puis disposer le récipient contenant les aliments préparés dans un four à micro-ondes ou sur une plaque de cuisson de manière à les réchauffer ou les cuire, ou encore stocker au réfrigérateur ou au congélateur le récipient contenant le reste de la préparation lorsque celle-ci n'a pas été entièrement utilisée. Grâce au très faible coefficient de dilatation thermique des vitrocéramiques leur conférant une très bonne résistance aux chocs thermiques, l'utilisateur peut placer le récipient dans un four ou sur une plaque de cuisson dès la sortie du réfrigérateur ou du congélateur, sans attente particulière.Thus the user can chop or mix the food to be prepared in the working container, then place the container containing the prepared food in a microwave oven or on a baking sheet so as to reheat or bake it, or store the container containing the rest of the preparation in the refrigerator or freezer when it has not been fully used. Thanks to the very low coefficient of thermal expansion of vitroceramics, which gives them very good resistance to thermal shock, the user can place the container in an oven or on a baking sheet right out of the fridge or freezer, without any particular waiting.
Avantageusement l'outil de travail comporte 2 lames. L'outil de travail monté sur l'ensemble de travail est ainsi très simple à nettoyer, et de plus très économique à fabriquer.Advantageously, the working tool has 2 blades. The working tool mounted on the working assembly is thus very simple to clean, and moreover very economical to manufacture.
De manière avantageuse le récipient de travail est prévu pour coopérer avec un couvercle, de manière à constituer un récipient étanche.Advantageously, the working container is provided to cooperate with a cover, so as to constitute a sealed container.
La conservation des préparations, notamment au réfrigérateur, est ainsi facilitée.Storage of preparations, especially in the refrigerator, is thus facilitated.

MEILLEURE MANIERE DE REALISER L'INVENTIONBEST WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE INVENTION
L'appareil électroménager de préparation culinaire conforme à l'invention montré à la figure 1 comporte un récipient 1 de travail, de toutes formes appropriées, par exemple sensiblement cylindrique, délimité extérieurement par des parois latérales 15 et un fond 16, et comportant une ouverture 19 opposée au fond 16. Tel que représenté notamment aux figures 1 et 2, le récipient 1 comporte avantageusement une poignée 17 et un bec verseur 18.The household food preparation appliance according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises a working container 1, of all appropriate shapes, for example substantially cylindrical, delimited externally by side walls 15 and a bottom 16, and comprising an opening 19 opposite the bottom 16.

Sur l'ensemble de travail 2 est monté un outil de travail 5, comportant de manière avantageuse deux lames 14. L'outil de travail 5 monté sur l'ensemble de travail 2 est disposé sensiblement à proximité du fond 16 du récipient 1 et définit une zone 3 de travail s'étendant entre les parois 15. Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré à la figure 1 les deux lames 14 sont disposées dans un plan dont la normale est inclinée par rapport à l'axe de rotation A-A' de l'ensemble de travail 2.The apparatus also comprises a rotary working assembly 2, driven by a motor means, not shown in the figures, via a drive rod 4 which is advantageously removable. On the working assembly 2 is mounted a working tool 5, advantageously comprising two blades 14. The working tool 5 mounted on the working assembly 2 is disposed substantially near the bottom 16 of the container 1 and defines a work area 3 extending between the walls 15. In the embodiment shown in the FIG. 1 the two blades 14 are arranged in a plane the normal of which is inclined relative to the axis of rotation AA ′ of the working assembly 2.
Le récipient 1 de travail de l'appareil selon l'invention comporte le long de la paroi 15 au moins une nervure intérieure 6, avantageusement de direction sensiblement axiale. La présence d'une ou plusieurs nervures 6 permet le mélange optimal des préparations liquides en favorisant l'apparition de tourbillons au sein du liquide. Au moins l'une des nervures 6, et avantageusement chacune des nervures 6 se prolonge le long de la paroi 15 du récipient 1 dans la zone 3 de travail avec une épaisseur variable. Cette disposition permet de mélanger correctement les préparations liquides, et permet aussi de hacher les aliments tels que la viande en évitant l'agglomération de ceux-ci contre les parois du récipient 1. Avantageusement le récipient 1 comporte quatre nervures 6. Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré à la figure 1 l'épaisseur de chaque nervure 6 s'affine progressivement dans la zone 3 de travail en direction du fond 16 du récipient 1.The working container 1 of the apparatus according to the invention comprises along the wall 15 at least one internal rib 6, advantageously of substantially axial direction. The presence of one or more ribs 6 allows optimal mixing of the liquid preparations by promoting the appearance of vortices within the liquid. At least one of the ribs 6, and advantageously each of the ribs 6 extends along the wall 15 of the container 1 in the working zone 3 with a variable thickness. This arrangement makes it possible to mix the liquid preparations correctly, and also makes it possible to chop foods such as meat while avoiding agglomeration of these against the walls of the container 1. Advantageously the container 1 has four ribs 6. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the thickness of each rib 6 is progressively thinner in the working zone 3 in the direction of the bottom 16 of the container 1.
De manière avantageuse, l'ensemble de travail rotatif 2 est amovible par rapport au récipient de travail 2. Le fond 16 du récipient 1 comporte avantageusement un relief 8 sur lequel vient s'appuyer une embase 7 montée mobile en rotation autour de l'axe A-A' de l'ensemble de travail 2, tel que représenté à la figure 1. L'utilisateur peut ainsi nettoyer aisément le récipient 1 et l'ensemble de travail 2. Cette disposition permet également de placer le récipient 1 dans un four à micro-ondes afin de réchauffer ou cuire son contenu.Advantageously, the rotary working assembly 2 is removable with respect to the working container 2. The bottom 16 of the container 1 advantageously includes a relief 8 on which a base 7 is mounted which is movable in rotation about the axis AA 'of the working assembly 2, as shown in FIG. 1. The user can thus easily clean the container 1 and the working assembly 2. This arrangement also makes it possible to place the container 1 in a micro oven -waves in order to reheat or cook its contents.
Le relief 8 représenté aux figures 1 et 2 se présente sous la forme d'une collerette circulaire, plus particulièrement remarquable en ce que sa face externe est sensiblement conique avec un angle au sommet compris entre 60 et 120°, par exemple 90°. L'embase 7 présente, en correspondance, une face intérieure conique. En d'autres termes, vu en coupe transversale, la face extérieure du relief forme un angle compris entre 30° et 60° par rapport à l'horizontale. Cette forme de réalisation s'avère relativement aisée à réaliser pour des récipients 1 en verre ou en vitrocéramique. En outre, l'embase 7 de l'ensemble de travail 2 vient s'auto-positionner sur le relief 8, ce qui est particulièrement avantageux lorsque l'utilisateur n'est plus en mesure de voir le fond du récipient. Des essais ont montré que ce mode d'accrochage s'avérait suffisant avec des nervures standard telles que représentées, c'est à dire dont la hauteur par rapport à la paroi 15 est comprise entre 5 et 10 % du rayon du récipient 1.The relief 8 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is in the form of a circular collar, more particularly remarkable in that its outer face is substantially conical with an apex angle between 60 and 120 °, for example 90 °. The base 7 has, in correspondence, a conical inner face. In other words, seen in cross section, the external face of the relief forms an angle between 30 ° and 60 ° relative to the horizontal. This embodiment turns out to be relatively easy to produce for glass or ceramic-glass containers 1. In addition, the base 7 of the working assembly 2 comes to self-position on the relief 8, which is particularly advantageous when the user is no longer able to see the bottom of the container. Tests have shown that this method of attachment turns out to be sufficient with standard ribs as shown, that is to say whose height relative to the wall 15 is between 5 and 10% of the radius of the container 1.
Tel que représenté à la figure 1 , l'appareil selon l'invention comporte également une coupelle 9 venant en contact annulaire au moins partiel avec le récipient 1. La coupelle 9 comporte un orifice 10 prévu pour le passage de la tige 4 entraînant l'ensemble de travail 5. Cette disposition permet d'éviter les projections hors du récipient 1 de travail lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil. La ou les nervures 6 s'interrompent à distance de l'ouverture 19 du récipient 1 , et de manière avantageuse à distance de la coupelle 9 lorsque celle-ci est en place dans le récipient 1 , dans le but de favoriser la retombée de la préparation à l'intérieur du récipient. Cette disposition permet d'éviter la présence d'un joint d'étanchéité prévu pour contenir les débordements de la préparation remontant le long de la paroi. Des biofilms sont en effet susceptibles de se former sur de tels joints et l'utilisateur ne se préoccupe souvent pas assez de leur nettoyage.As shown in Figure 1, the apparatus according to the invention also comprises a cup 9 coming in at least partial annular contact with the container 1. The cup 9 has an orifice 10 provided for the passage of the rod 4 causing the working assembly 5. This arrangement makes it possible to avoid projections out of the working container 1 when the apparatus is used. The rib (s) 6 are interrupted at a distance from the opening 19 of the container 1, and advantageously at a distance from the cup 9 when the latter is in place in the container 1, in order to promote the fallout of the preparation inside the container. This arrangement makes it possible to avoid the presence of a seal provided to contain the overflows of the preparation going up along the wall. Biofilms are indeed likely to form on such seals and the user is often not concerned enough with their cleaning.
La figure 3 présente une disposition avantageuse de la présente invention, dans laquelle la coupelle 9 est prévue pour coopérer avec des moyens d'obturation 12 de l'orifice 11 , ce afin de faciliter la conservation de la préparation. La figure 4 montre une variante de réalisation de la précédente disposition, dans laquelle la coupelle 9 comporte un joint d'étanchéité 13 prévu pour garantir la bonne conservation des préparations.Figure 3 shows an advantageous arrangement of the present invention, in which the cup 9 is provided to cooperate with closure means 12 of the orifice 11, in order to facilitate the preservation of the preparation. Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the previous arrangement, in which the cup 9 has a seal 13 provided to ensure good preservation of the preparations.
La figure 5 présente une autre disposition avantageuse de la présente invention, permettant également de favoriser la bonne conservation des préparations, dans laquelle le récipient de travail coopère avec un couvercle 11. La figure 6 présente une portion du fond du récipient 1 et montre une variante 8' du relief dont la face externe est sensiblement cylindrique circulaire, c'est à dire que la paroi extérieure du relief 8' est pratiquement perpendiculaire au fond du récipient 1. Pour des considérations de fabrication du récipient 1 réalisé en verre ou en vitrocéramique, on rend le bord supérieur du relief 8' arrondi. D'autre part, la face intérieure de l'embase rotative 7 venant en correspondance est également sensiblement cylindrique. Ce mode de réalisation se prête particulièrement bien à un récipient 1 comportant un grand nombre de nervures, par exemple au moins 4 et plus, ou à des nervures 6' plus saillantes, dont la hauteur par rapport à la paroi 15 est par exemple comprise entre 7 et 20 % du rayon du récipient 1 , tel que représenté à la figure 6.FIG. 5 shows another advantageous arrangement of the present invention, also making it possible to promote the good preservation of the preparations, in which the working container cooperates with a cover 11. FIG. 6 shows a portion of the bottom of the container 1 and shows a variant 8 ′ of the relief, the external face of which is substantially circular cylindrical, that is to say that the external wall of the relief 8 ′ is practically perpendicular to the bottom of the container 1. For manufacturing considerations of the container 1 made of glass or glass-ceramic, the upper edge of the relief 8 'is rounded. On the other hand, the inner face of the rotary base 7 coming into correspondence is also substantially cylindrical. This embodiment lends itself particularly well to a container 1 comprising a large number of ribs, for example at least 4 and more, or to more protruding ribs 6 ', the height of which relative to the wall 15 is for example between 7 and 20% of the radius of the container 1, as shown in FIG. 6.
L'appareil selon la forme préférée de l'invention s'utilise de la manière suivante.The apparatus according to the preferred form of the invention is used in the following manner.
L'utilisateur dispose au fond du récipient 1 de travail l'ensemble de travail rotatif 2, attenant à la tige d'entraînement 4, et sur lequel est monté l'outil de travail 5. Il peut ensuite introduire dans le récipient les ingrédients de sa préparation et procéder au travail souhaité après avoir disposé la coupelle 9 et le bloc moteur sur le récipient 1.The user has at the bottom of the working container 1 the rotary working assembly 2, adjoining the drive rod 4, and on which the working tool 5 is mounted. He can then introduce the ingredients of its preparation and carry out the desired work after having placed the cup 9 and the engine block on the container 1.
Un avantage apporté par la présente invention est l'utilisation d'un même récipient 1 de travail multi-usages pour préparer les hachés, les mélanges de liquides, et la glace pilée. Il est possible d'utiliser le même type d'outil 5 pour les différentes préparations mais de préférence l'utilisateur choisira un outil 5 aux lames 14 non affûtées pour piler la glace.An advantage provided by the present invention is the use of the same multi-purpose working container 1 for preparing chopped, mixtures of liquids, and crushed ice. It is possible to use the same type of tool 5 for the different preparations, but preferably the user will choose a tool 5 with blades 14 not sharpened for crushing the ice.
Lorsque la préparation est prête, l'utilisateur peut utiliser celle-ci de manière connue, mais aussi la cuire en disposant le récipient 1 en matériau vitrocéramique, duquel auront été enlevés les autres éléments de l'appareil, sur une plaque de cuisson, ou la conserver au réfrigérateur ou au congélateur en utilisant le couvercle 11 ou la coupelle 9 et les moyens d'obturation 12.When the preparation is ready, the user can use it in a known manner, but also cook it by placing the container 1 made of glass-ceramic material, from which the other elements of the appliance have been removed, on a baking sheet, or store it in the fridge or freezer using the cover 11 or the dish 9 and the sealing means 12.
La présente invention concernant un appareil et un récipient 1 de travail permettant de préparer les hachés, les mélanges de liquides, et la glace pilée n'est nullement limitée aux exemples ci-dessus énoncés à titre illustratif, mais peut présenter d'autres formes de réalisations, non montrés aux figures. En particulier, la ou les nervures peuvent être de toute forme appropriée. La face extérieure du relief peut former un angle supérieur à 60° par rapport à l'horizontale. Le relief peut présenter une forme, vue de dessus, autre que circulaire, par exemple polygonale ou en étoile.The present invention relates to an apparatus and a working container 1 allowing the preparation of chopped, mixtures of liquids, and crushed ice is not limited to the above examples given by way of illustration, but may present other embodiments, not shown in the figures. In particular, the rib (s) may be of any suitable shape. The external face of the relief can form an angle greater than 60 ° relative to the horizontal. The relief may have a shape, seen from above, other than circular, for example polygonal or star-shaped.
