Abstract

The auxiliary bowl (B), nesting in the main bowl (A), has a central drive motor access tube. The milling disc, unperforated, with a roughened upper surface, has a drive connection sleeve (6) penetrating the access tube and an upper spindle (4) entering a central bearing socket under the lid (C). Assembled on the larger bowl, the lid locates and covers the smaller. The disc's diameter is about 80% of the smaller bowl's. Items to be ground are introduced through the top aperture (23) of a chute (2) held in a guide tube (G) integral with the lid moulding. The user, aided by a push-rod (3), forces each item against the rotating disc. The milled particles, centrifugally ejected, collect in the small bowl.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un accessoire de robot de cuisine jouant le rôle d'un moulin à épices et condiments. Les épices, particulièrement les épices fraîches, et les condiments frais doivent souvent être broyés , leur coupe au couteau étant difficile, et, par leur nature, les quantités à traiter, dans un ménage, sont toujours petites.The present invention relates to a food processor accessory playing the role of a spice and condiment mill. Spices, especially fresh spices, and fresh condiments often have to be ground, their knife cut being difficult, and by their nature the quantities to be treated in a household are always small.

Les robots de cuisine sont bien connus et comprennent un socle renfermant un moteur électrique dont l'arbre fait saillie à la surface supérieure du socle. Sur le socle peut être assujettie une cuve de travail amovible, à l'intérieur de laquelle différents outils peuvent être montés et entraînés par l'arbre moteur.Food processors are well known and include a base containing an electric motor, the shaft of which protrudes from the upper surface of the base. On the base can be attached a removable work tank, inside which different tools can be mounted and driven by the motor shaft.

La cuve est d'une contenance de l'ordre d'un ou deux litres, correspondant aux besoins d'une famille, pour le traitement de divers aliments. Mais cette cuve est d'un volume trop important pour broyer de petites quantités d'épices ou condiments dans des conditions satisfaisantes.The tank is of the order of one or two liters, corresponding to the needs of a family, for the treatment of various foods. But this tank is too large in volume to grind small quantities of spices or condiments under satisfactory conditions.

Il a déjà été proposé dans WO 89/00827 de disposer à la partie supérieure de la cuve de travail une cuve auxiliaire, de contenance réduite, ou minicuve, la minicuve reposant sur une cheminée entourant l'arbre moteur pour éviter la pénétration des aliments dans le socle. A l'intérieur de cette minicuve peut tourner un couteau, outil de forme identique au couteau tournant dans la cuve principale mais de dimensions réduites correspondant à celles de la minicuve. Cette cuve auxiliaire est destinée à permettre la préparation de sauces ou analogues d'accompagnement des plats principaux. La goulotte prévue sur le couvercle de la cuve principale est reliée à l'intérieur de la minicuve pour autoriser l'introduction d'ingrédients lors de la préparation des sauces ou purées.It has already been proposed in WO 89/00827 to have at the upper part of the working tank an auxiliary tank, of reduced capacity, or mini-tank, the mini-tank resting on a chimney surrounding the motor shaft to prevent the penetration of food into pedestal. Inside this mini-tank can turn a knife, a tool identical in shape to the knife rotating in the main tank but with reduced dimensions corresponding to those of the mini-tank. This auxiliary tank is intended to allow the preparation of sauces or the like to accompany the main dishes. The chute provided on the cover of the main tank is connected to the interior of the mini-tank to allow the introduction of ingredients during the preparation of sauces or purees.

La présente invention est basée sur l'idée qu'une telle cuve auxiliaire peut être utilisée pour broyer, moudre ou râper des épices telles que du piment, de l'ail ou analogue, la contenance de la minicuve permettant le traitement de quantités réduites de produits.The present invention is based on the idea that such an auxiliary tank can be used to grind, grind or grate spices such as chili, garlic or the like, the capacity of the mini-tank allowing the processing of reduced quantities of products.

Selon la présente invention, l'accessoire de robot de cuisine jouant le rôle d'un moulin à épices et condiments, comprenant une minicuve, est caractérisé en ce qu'il inclût un disque broyeur disposé sensiblement à mi-hauteur de la minicuve, entraîné par l'arbre moteur du robot de cuisine, dont le diamètre est égal à sensiblement les quatre cinquièmes du diamètre de la cuve, et des moyens d'introduction des épices par la goulotte.According to the present invention, the kitchen robot accessory playing the role of a spice and condiment mill, comprising a mini-tank, is characterized in that it includes a grinding disc placed substantially halfway up the mini-tank, driven by the motor shaft of the food processor, the diameter of which is substantially equal to four-fifths of the diameter of the tank, and means for introducing spices through the chute.

Le disque est plein et présente des picots de broyage, les produits broyés étant éjectés par la force centrifuge contre la paroi de la minicuve d'où ils tombent dans le fond de celle-ci.The disc is full and has grinding pins, the ground products being ejected by centrifugal force against the wall of the mini-tank from where they fall into the bottom thereof.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre de modes particuliers de réalisation, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en regard des dessins qui représentent
- La Figure 1, une vue éclatée d'un dispositif auxiliaire
selon l'invention;
- La Figure 2, une vue en coupe du dispositif auxiliaire monté dans la cuve auxiliaire;
- La Figure 3, une variante de réalisation.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the following description of particular embodiments, given only by way of nonlimiting examples, with reference to the drawings which represent
- Figure 1, an exploded view of an auxiliary device
according to the invention;
- Figure 2, a sectional view of the auxiliary device mounted in the auxiliary tank;
- Figure 3, an alternative embodiment.

Sur la figure 1, on distingue de bas en haut, la cuve A d'un robot de cuisine usuel, la cuve auxiliaire B ou minicuve, le couvercle C de la cuve A qui sert également de couvercle à la cuve B . Sur le couvercle C est prévue une goulotte G d'introduction des denrées à travailler. La cuve B repose sur un fourreau en saillie à l'intérieur de la cuve principale, le fourreau entourant l'arbre moteur
Ces éléments sont connus par l'art antérieur.
In Figure 1, we distinguish from bottom to top, the tank A of a conventional food processor, the auxiliary tank B or mini-tank, the cover C of the tank A which also serves as a cover for the tank B. On the cover C is provided a chute G for introducing the food to be worked. Tank B rests on a projecting sheath inside the main tank, the sheath surrounding the motor shaft
These elements are known from the prior art.

Conformément à l'invention, sur l'arbre moteur (non référencé) est monté un manchon 6 d'entraînement d'un disque broyeur 1 dont l'axe se prolonge vers le haut par une tige 4 tourillonnée dans le couvercle. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 2, l'axe 4 prend appui dans un palier 5 qui maintient le disque broyeur 1 au niveau voulu et dans le même plan, même lorsque le produit à râper exerce une pression sur le disque.According to the invention, on the drive shaft (not referenced) is mounted a sleeve 6 for driving a grinding disc 1, the axis of which is extended upwards by a rod 4 journalled in the cover. As shown in Figure 2, the axis 4 is supported in a bearing 5 which keeps the grinding disc 1 at the desired level and in the same plane, even when the product to be grated exerts pressure on the disc.

La goulotte G est généralement d'une section trop importante pour guider des produits longilignes tels que les piments. Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on prévoit à l'intérieur de la goulotte G un tube de guidage 2 qui obture partiellement la goulotte et présente un orifice circulaire 23 à l'intérieur duquel sont introduits les produits à râper et, si besoin est, un poussoir 3. La section de la goulotte est ainsi réduite de sorte que le produit à broyer soit parfaitement guidé et se présente au-dessus de la partie périphérique du disque 1 présentant la plus grande vitesse linéaire.The chute G is generally of too large a section to guide slender products such as peppers. To overcome this drawback, there is provided inside the chute G a guide tube 2 which partially closes the chute and has a circular orifice 23 inside which the products to be grated are introduced and, if necessary, a pusher. 3. The section of the chute is thus reduced so that the product to be ground is perfectly guided and is present above the peripheral part of the disc 1 having the highest linear speed.

Pratiquement, il n'est pas nécessaire d'exercer une pression; le broyage provenant de la chute du produit sur le disque 1 qui est entraîné à grande vitesse (par exemple 1.500 tours/minute). Dans les disques râpeurs connus qui coupent les produits , ceux-ci sont évacués par les perforations du disque. Au contraire, dans le dispositif selon l'invention, le disque l ne présente pas de perforations et les produits broyés sont éjectés contre la paroi latérale de la minicuve et tombent au fond de celle-ci par gravité. Le phénomène de broyage ou grattage provient du contact à grande vitesse du produit contre les picots en saillie. En réglant la hauteur des picots, il est possible d'obtenir des produits broyés plus ou moins fins. In practice, there is no need to apply pressure; the grinding coming from the fall of the product on the disc 1 which is driven at high speed (for example 1,500 revolutions / minute). In the known grating discs which cut the products, these are evacuated by the perforations of the disc. On the contrary, in the device according to the invention, the disc 1 does not have any perforations and the crushed products are ejected against the side wall of the mini-tank and fall to the bottom of the latter by gravity. The phenomenon of grinding or scraping comes from the high speed contact of the product against the protruding pins. By adjusting the height of the pins, it is possible to obtain more or less fine ground products.

La figure 3 représente un autre mode de réalisation. La vue de la figure 3 est à 900 de celle de la figure 2. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'orifice 23 d'introduction des produits est incliné par rapport au plan de rotation du disque. L'angle d'inclinaison est de sensiblement 300 par rapport à la direction verticale, c'est à dire de 600 par rapport au plan du disque. L'orifice 23 débouche au-dessus du disque de sorte que les produits se présentent légèrement tangentiellement. L'inclinaison de l'orifice 23 est telle qu'elle soit de sens opposé au sens de rotation du disque. C'est à dire que lorsque le disque tourne dans le sens anti horaire, l'orifice est incliné, de haut en bas, de la droite vers la gauche. La surface inférieure 7 du tube guide 2 est disposée à quelques millimètres audessus des picots Le poussoir 3 présente une forme adaptée à celle de l'orifice 23 se traduisant par le fait que son fond 8 est dans le même plan que la surface 7 du tube guide. Cette disposition améliore la qualité de broyage du produit, en particulier dans le cas des piments, et on a constaté que la peau de ceux-ci était parfaitement broyée grâce à l'incidence des produits sur le disque.Figure 3 shows another embodiment. The view of FIG. 3 is 900 from that of FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the orifice 23 for introducing the products is inclined relative to the plane of rotation of the disc. The angle of inclination is substantially 300 relative to the vertical direction, that is to say 600 relative to the plane of the disc. The orifice 23 opens above the disc so that the products are slightly tangential. The inclination of the orifice 23 is such that it is in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the disc. That is, when the disc rotates counterclockwise, the hole is tilted, from top to bottom, from right to left. The lower surface 7 of the guide tube 2 is disposed a few millimeters above the pins The pusher 3 has a shape adapted to that of the orifice 23 resulting in the fact that its bottom 8 is in the same plane as the surface 7 of the tube guide. This arrangement improves the quality of grinding of the product, in particular in the case of peppers, and it has been found that the skin of these is perfectly ground thanks to the incidence of the products on the disc.

La description qui précède a été donnée pour le traitement de petites quantités de produits ce qui est le cas, en général pour les condiments. Toutefois, l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre directement dans la cuve principale avec un disque approprié.The above description was given for the treatment of small quantities of products which is the case, generally for condiments. However, the invention can be implemented directly in the main tank with an appropriate disc.

Il va de soi que de nombreuses variantes peuvent être apportées, notamment par substitution de moyens techniques équivalents, sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention. It goes without saying that many variants can be made, in particular by substitution of equivalent technical means, without departing from the scope of the invention.
