Description

SCHÄLVORRICHTUNG FÜR EIN KÜCHENGERÄT UND KÜCHENGERÄT MIT EINER PEELING DEVICE FOR A KITCHEN APPLIANCE AND KITCHEN APPLIANCE WITH A
SOLCHEN SCHÄLVORRICHTUNG SUCH PEELING DEVICE
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schälvorrichtung, insbesondere für Ge müse, Obst und Kartoffeln. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Küchengerät mit einer solchen Schälvorrichtung. The present invention relates to a peeling device, in particular for vegetables, fruit and potatoes. Furthermore, the invention relates to a kitchen appliance with such a peeling device.
Das Schälen von Gemüse, Obst und/oder Kartoffeln ist naturgemäß mit hohem Aufwand verbunden, zumindest wenn dies mithilfe eines Messers erfolgt. Insbe sondere das Schälen von Kartoffeln wird daher seit geraumer Zeit durch Hilfsge räte, wie beispielsweise Sparschäler oder spezielle Schälmesser erleichtert. Auch sind elektrische Küchengeräte bekannt, mit denen beispielsweise Kartoffeln ge schält werden können. Nachteilig ist dabei, dass eine solche Küchenmaschine als weiteres Küchengerät zusätzlichen Platzbedarf in der Küche benötigt. The peeling of vegetables, fruit and/or potatoes naturally involves a great deal of effort, at least when this is done with a knife. In particular, the peeling of potatoes has been made easier by auxiliary devices, such as peelers or special paring knives, for some time. Electrical kitchen appliances are also known with which, for example, potatoes can be peeled ge. The disadvantage here is that such a food processor, as a further kitchen appliance, requires additional space in the kitchen.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine weitere Alternative zu bekannten Schälmessern oder Schälvorrichtungen zu bieten. Insbesondere soll die Schälvor richtung ein möglichst einfaches und schnelles Schälen ermöglichen. The object of the invention is to offer a further alternative to known peeling knives or peeling devices. In particular, the peeling device should enable peeling that is as simple and quick as possible.
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Schälvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und ein Küchengerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 3 gelöst. The object is achieved by a peeling device with the features of claim 1 and a kitchen appliance with the features of claim 3.
Die Schälvorrichtung eignet sich für die Anwendung als Einsatz in einem Küchen gerät. Diese ermöglicht es dem Anwender Kartoffeln oder bestimmte Gemüsesor ten, aber auch Obst in der Küchenmaschine zu schälen. Die Schälvorrichtung wird dabei auf Antriebsmittel der Küchenmaschine, beispielsweise Schneidmittel bzw. Mixmesser aufgesetzt. Das Schneidmittel überträgt das Drehmoment über zumin dest eine Adaptionsschnittstelle bzw. Anlagefläche auf die im eingesetzten Zustand dem Schneidmittel zugewandten Seite der Schälvorrichtung. The peeling device is suitable for use as an insert in a kitchen appliance. This enables the user to peel potatoes or certain types of vegetables, but also fruit in the food processor. The peeling device is placed on drive means of the food processor, for example cutting means or blender blade. The cutting means transmits the torque via at least one adaptation interface or contact surface to the side of the peeling device that faces the cutting means when in use.
Die Schälvorrichtung weist vorzugsweise in Anpassung an das Küchengerät eine zentrale Öffnung auf, mit der sie auf ein freies Ende einer Antriebswelle des Kü chengeräts aufgesetzt werden kann. Die zentrale Öffnung ist vorzugsweise in der Mitte der Schälvorrichtung ausgebildet, kann jedoch auch an anderen Stellen aus gebildet sein. An dieser Antriebswelle sind auch die Schneidwerkzeuge gelagert und werden von dieser angetrieben. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungs variante ist die Öffnung mithilfe einer becherförmigen Abdeckung verschlossen, sodass das freie Ende der Antriebswelle nicht mit dem zu schälenden Gut in Kontakt kommen kann. Alternativ kann auch lediglich ein zylindrischer Abschnitt oder Rand im Bereich der Öffnung auf Seiten des zu schälenden Guts vorgesehen sein, der den freien Bereich der Antriebswelle aufnimmt bzw. umgibt, sodass diese nicht über den Abschnitt vorsteht und lediglich eine freie Frontfläche der Antriebs welle mit dem zu schälenden Gut in Kontakt kommen kann. Der erwähnte zylind rische Abschnitt (auch Zylinderabschnitt) oder Rand dient zudem zur händischen Positionierung und Entnahme der Schälvorrichtung im Topf des Küchengeräts durch einen Benutzer. In adaptation to the kitchen appliance, the peeling device preferably has a central opening with which it can be placed on a free end of a drive shaft of the kitchen appliance. The central opening is preferably formed in the middle of the peeling device, but can also be formed at other locations. The cutting tools are also mounted on this drive shaft and are driven by it. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the opening is closed with a cup-shaped cover so that the free end of the drive shaft does not come into contact with the product to be peeled contact can come. Alternatively, only a cylindrical section or edge can be provided in the area of the opening on the side of the product to be peeled, which accommodates or surrounds the free area of the drive shaft, so that it does not protrude over the section and only a free front surface of the drive shaft with the Good to be peeled can come into contact. The aforementioned cylindrical section (also cylinder section) or edge is also used for manual positioning and removal of the peeling device in the pot of the kitchen appliance by a user.
Die Schälvorrichtung stützt sich während des Schälens im Bereich der Adaptions schnittstelle auf dem Mixmesser ab. During peeling, the peeling device is supported on the mixing knife in the area of the adaptation interface.
Die Schälvorrichtung weist einen Rahmen, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, und eine Reibe auf. Die Reibe kann aus verschiedenen geeigneten Materialien bestehen, vorzugsweise Blech, Kunststoff oder Keramik. Rahmen und Reibe können ein ein- oder mehrteiliges Bauteil ausbilden. Insbesondere bei einer Fertigung beider Kom ponenten (Rahmen, Reibe) aus Kunststoff, kann eine einteilige (einstückige) Aus bildung vorteilhaft sein. Rahmen und Reibe können aus ein und demselben Kunst stoff gefertigt sein. Der Rahmen oder die Reibe können - sofern aus Kunststoff gefertigt - im Spritzguss hergestellt werden. Gleiches gilt für den Fall, dass Rah men und Reibe ein einteiliges Kunststoffbauteil bilden. The peeling device has a frame, preferably made of plastic, and a grater. The grater can be made of various suitable materials, preferably sheet metal, plastic or ceramic. Frame and grater can form a one-piece or multi-piece component. In particular, when both components (frame, grater) are made of plastic, a one-piece (one-piece) formation can be advantageous. Frame and grater can be made of one and the same plastic. The frame or the grater can - if made of plastic - be manufactured by injection molding. The same applies if the frame and grater form a one-piece plastic component.
Die Reibe ist vorzugsweise austauschbar und kann an das jeweils zu schälende Gut angepasst ausgewählt werden. Im eingesetzten Zustand ist die Reibe drehfest mit dem Rahmen verbunden. Die austauschbare (lösbare) Befestigung der Reibe an dem Rahmen kann über geeignete Befestigungsmittel erfolgen, beispielsweise durch eine oder mehrere Rastverbindungen, wobei vorzugsweise jeweils komple mentäre Rastmittel an dem Rahmen und der Reibe angeordnet sind. Die Aus tauschbarkeit der Reibe erleichtert deren Reinigung. Die Reibe - die nach Art einer Reibscheibe ausgebildet sein kann - kann in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung um fänglich an deren Rand mit Kunststoff umspritzt bzw. beaufschlagt sein (wobei die Reibscheibe als solche bei dieser Ausgestaltung aus Metall gefertigt ist). Dadurch kann ein einer ungewünschten Schmutzansammlung an der Reibe (Reibscheibe) vorgebeugt werden. Der genannte Kunststoff kann Anti-Haft Eigenschaften auf weisen. Auch die Oberflächen der Reibscheibe können mit einem Anti-Haft Mittel bzw. Kunststoff beaufschlagt oder umspritzt sein. Die Reibe umfasst Reibmittel, die auf einer Reibseite der Reibe angeordnet sind, vorzugsweise in Form von scharfen Kanten, die am Rand von in der Reibe ausge bildeten Öffnungen ausgebildet sind. Die Öffnungen können Durchgangsöffnungen (Löcher) sein, die in einem Lochbild angeordnet sein können. Die Reibe kann also eine Vielzahl von Öffnungen (samt scharfen Kanten) aufweisen, sogenannte Reiböffnungen. Die Öffnungen können beliebige Querschnittsgeometrien aufwei sen, beispielsweise kreisförmig, oval, elliptisch, polygonal (insbesondere viereckig, quadratisch, dreieckig), oder nach Art eines Parallelogramms. Die Öffnungen sind ausgehend von der Reibseite aufgestülpt, also in Bezug auf eine Reibseiten-Ober- fläche erhaben. Die so erzeugten Aufstülpungen können die Reibmittel bereitstel len. The grater is preferably interchangeable and can be selected to match the particular product to be peeled. When inserted, the grater is connected to the frame in a rotationally fixed manner. The interchangeable (detachable) attachment of the grater to the frame can take place via suitable attachment means, for example by one or more snap-in connections, with complementary snap-in means preferably being arranged on the frame and the grater in each case. The interchangeability of the grater makes it easier to clean. The grater - which can be designed in the manner of a friction disk - can in a further embodiment be encapsulated or acted upon initially at its edge with plastic (whereby the friction disk as such is made of metal in this embodiment). This can prevent unwanted accumulation of dirt on the grater (friction disc). Said plastic can have non-stick properties. The surfaces of the friction disc can also be treated or overmoulded with an anti-adhesive agent or plastic. The grater comprises grating means arranged on a grating side of the grater, preferably in the form of sharp edges formed at the edge of openings formed in the grater. The openings can be through-openings (holes), which can be arranged in a hole pattern. The grater can therefore have a large number of openings (including sharp edges), so-called grating openings. The openings can have any desired cross-sectional geometries, for example circular, oval, elliptical, polygonal (in particular quadrilateral, square, triangular), or in the manner of a parallelogram. Starting from the friction side, the openings are turned up, ie raised in relation to a friction side surface. The protuberances produced in this way can provide the friction means.
Ferner können die Reibmittel in Form von sich in Bezug zur dem Schälgut zuge wandten Oberfläche der Reibe (bzw. Reibscheibe) erhebenden bzw. vorstehenden Strukturelementen ausgebildet sein. Bei der Reibe kann es sich also um eine Reib scheibe mit einer strukturierten Oberfläche handeln, wobei die strukturierte Ober fläche von Strukturelementen gebildet ist. Die Strukturelemente können scharfe Kanten aufweisen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung muss die Reibe nicht zwingend Öff nungen aufweisen. Furthermore, the friction means can be designed in the form of structural elements that rise or protrude in relation to the surface of the grater (or friction disk) that faces the material to be peeled. The grater can therefore be a grating disc with a structured surface, the structured surface being formed by structural elements. The structural elements can have sharp edges. In this configuration, the grater does not necessarily have to have openings.
Die erwähnten Schneidmittel übertragen Drehmoment auf die Schälvorrichtung, sodass sich diese zu drehen beginnt. Dadurch wird die Schale des sich auf der Reibe befindlichen Guts entfernt. Die Schälvorrichtung kann eine weitere Kupplung zum Aufsetzen auf ein in dem Topf des Küchengeräts angeordneten Schälmesser aufweisen, wobei das Schälmesser Kräfte/Drehmomente auf die Schälvorrichtung überträgt. Ferner kann auch die Schälvorrichtung eine Kupplung zu einer Anord nung eines Schälmessers aufweisen und Kräfte/Drehmomente auf dieses übertra gen. The mentioned cutting means transmit torque to the peeling device, so that it starts rotating. This removes the skin from the food on the grater. The peeling device can have a further coupling to be placed on a peeling blade arranged in the pot of the kitchen appliance, with the peeling blade transmitting forces/torques to the peeling device. Furthermore, the peeling device can also have a coupling to an arrangement of a peeling blade and forces/torques can be transmitted to it.
Die Schälvorrichtung weist einen an den Topf des elektrischen Küchengeräts an gepassten Durchmesser auf. Vorzugsweise ist die Schälvorrichtung kreisförmig ausgeführt und weist einen Durchmesser auf, der ermöglicht, dass ein Außenrand der Schälvorrichtung eine Innenwand des Topfes im eingesetzten Zustand kontak tiert. The peeling device has a diameter adapted to the pot of the electrical kitchen appliance. Preferably, the peeling device is circular and has a diameter that allows an outer edge of the peeling device to contact an inner wall of the pot when inserted.
Die Schälvorrichtung weist auf ihrer dem zu schälenden Gut zugewandten Seite eine Erhebung auf, wodurch das Gut während des Schälvorgangs bewegt, insbesondere gedreht wird, sodass kontinuierlich andere Stellen des Guts mit der Reibe in Kontakt kommen. Das zu schälende Gut wird durch die Erhebungen sowie die Rotation der Schälvorrichtung aufgewirbelt, wodurch sämtliche Stellen des Schälguts geschält werden können. Die „Erhebung" kann nach Art einer Rippe aus gebildet sein, die sich vorzugsweise von der zentralen Öffnung radial bis zum Au ßenrand der Schälvorrichtung (bzw. bis zum Rahmen) erstreckt. Die Schälvorrich tung kann mehrere „Erhebungen" aufweisen, insbesondere zwei, drei oder eine andere Anzahl von Erhebungen. Auch bei einer Mehrzahl von Erhebungen können diese nach Art einer Rippe ausgebildet sein. Die Erhebungen (Rippen) können ein teiliger Bestandteil der ggf. einteilig ausgebildeten Schälvorrichtung sein. Auch können die Erhebungen (Rippen) einteiliger Bestandteil der Reibe sein. Ferner kön nen die Erhebungen (Rippen) an der Schälvorrichtung oder Reibe befestigbar sein. Auch können die Erhebungen (Rippen) an den Rahmen angeformt sein. The peeling device has an elevation on its side facing the product to be peeled, as a result of which the product moves during the peeling process, in particular is rotated so that other parts of the material come into contact with the grater continuously. The material to be peeled is whirled up by the elevations and the rotation of the peeling device, which means that all parts of the material to be peeled can be peeled. The "elevation" can be formed in the manner of a rib, which preferably extends radially from the central opening to the outer edge of the peeling device (or to the frame). The peeling device can have several "elevations", in particular two or three or another number of surveys. Even with a plurality of elevations, these can be designed in the manner of a rib. The elevations (ribs) can be a part of the peeling device, which may be designed in one piece. The elevations (ribs) can also be an integral part of the grater. Furthermore, the elevations (ribs) can be fastened to the peeling device or grater. The elevations (ribs) can also be formed onto the frame.
Die abgeriebenen Schalen werden durch Öffnungen in der Reibe in einen unterhalb der Schälvorrichtung angeordneten Bereich des Behälters transportiert und setzen sich während des Schälens durch die Zugabe von Wasser am Behälterboden ab. The grated skins are transported through openings in the grater into an area of the container arranged below the peeling device and settle to the bottom of the container during the peeling due to the addition of water.
Die Schälvorrichtung ist in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante kompatibel zu den Küchengeräten Thermomix® 5, 6 und 31. In a particularly advantageous variant, the peeling device is compatible with the Thermomix® 5, 6 and 31 kitchen appliances.
Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist den beigefügten Figuren ge zeigt. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen die Schälvorrichtung 20 in Zusammenschau mit einem Küchengerät 30, mit dem diese genutzt werden kann. Erkennbar sind wei terhin Schneidmittel 40, die innerhalb eines Topfs 50 im Bodenbereich 100 des Küchengeräts 30 angeordnet sind. A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying figures. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the peeling device 20 together with a kitchen appliance 30 with which it can be used. Also recognizable are cutting means 40, which are arranged inside a pot 50 in the bottom area 100 of the kitchen appliance 30.
Die Figuren 3 bis 5 zeigen die Schälvorrichtung 20 in verschiedenen Ansichten (Figur 3 perspektivisch von oben, Figur 4 perspektivisch von unten, Figur 5 in Seitenansicht). FIGS. 3 to 5 show the peeling device 20 in different views (FIG. 3 perspectively from above, FIG. 4 perspectively from below, FIG. 5 in side view).
Insbesondere die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen eine Reibe 101 (Reibscheibe), die in ei nem im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Rahmen 102 angeordnet ist. Weiterhin ist eine zentrale Öffnung 103 für die Aufnahme des in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten freien Endes 104 der Antriebswelle erkennbar. Die zentrale Öffnung 103 ist auf einer Reibseite 106 (im Betrieb dem zu schälenden Gut zugewandt) der Reibe 101, also der dem zu schälenden Gut zugewandten Seite von einem Zylinderabschnitt 107 umgeben, der das sich durch die zentrale Öffnung 103 erstreckende freie Ende 104 der Antriebswelle im aufgesteckten Zustand umgibt. Der Zylinderabschnitt 107 dient zudem zur händischen Positionierung und Entnahme der Schälvorrich tung 20 im Topf 50 des Küchengeräts 30. In particular, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a grater 101 (grating disk) which is arranged in a substantially circular frame 102 . A central opening 103 for receiving the free end 104 of the drive shaft shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be seen. The central opening 103 is surrounded on a grating side 106 (facing the product to be peeled during operation) of the grater 101, i.e. the side facing the product to be peeled, by a cylinder section 107 which extends through the central opening 103 free end 104 of the drive shaft surrounds when plugged in. The cylinder section 107 is also used for manual positioning and removal of the peeling device 20 in the pot 50 of the kitchen appliance 30.
Weiterhin ist eine gegenüber einer Grundfläche der Reibe vorstehende Erhebung 110 in Form einer Rippe erkennbar, die das zu schälende Gut während der Drehung der Schälvorrichtung 20 dreht bzw. bewegt. Die Erhebung erstreckt sich von der zentralen Öffnung 103 radial nach außen bis zum Rand 102. Furthermore, an elevation 110 in the form of a rib that protrudes from a base surface of the grater can be seen, which rotates or moves the product to be peeled during the rotation of the peeling device 20 . The elevation extends radially outwards from the central opening 103 to the edge 102.
Die Reibe 101 weist Öffnungen 120 auf, durch die Schalenstücke in den Bereich unterhalb des Schälvorrichtung 20 gelangen können. The grater 101 has openings 120 through which pieces of peel can get into the area below the peeling device 20 .
In Figur 4 ist die Schälvorrichtung 20 von unten zu erkennen. Gezeigt sind insbe- sondere die zentral angeordnete Aufnahme 120 für das freie Ende 104 der An triebswelle sowie die Anlageflächen 150 für die sich radial erstreckenden Antriebs mittel bzw. Schneidmittel 40 (Mixmesser). Die Schneidmittel 40 erstrecken sich jeweils zwischen zwei Anlageflächen 150, sodass ein Betrieb in beide Drehrichtun gen möglich ist. Das in den Figuren gezeigte, sich durch die Öffnungen 120 ergebende Lochbild der Reibe 101 ist nur beispielhaft zu verstehen und kann auch anders ausgeführt sein. An den Rändern der Öffnungen 120 können scharfe Kanten ausgebildet sein, die Reibmittel bereitstellen. The peeling device 20 can be seen from below in FIG. In particular, the centrally arranged receptacle 120 for the free end 104 of the drive shaft and the contact surfaces 150 for the radially extending drive means or cutting means 40 (mixing knife) are shown. The cutting means 40 each extend between two contact surfaces 150 so that operation in both directions of rotation is possible. The hole pattern of the grater 101 resulting from the openings 120 shown in the figures is only to be understood as an example and can also be designed differently. Sharp edges may be formed at the edges of the openings 120 that provide means of friction.
