Food processor and extractor module
The present disclosure relates to food processors for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by mixing, chopping and/or heating and to an extractor module for a food processor. A food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by mixing, chopping and/or heating comprises the food preparation vessel, an intake opening, a filter and a suction device with which fume from a food preparation in the food preparation vessel can be sucked in through the intake opening and conveyed through the filter. In this way, a space-saving and convenient possibility for the extraction of generated fume is created.
1 . A food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by heating as well as mixing and/or chopping, the food processor being a domestic food processor, the food processor comprising
a food preparation vessel, the food preparation vessel including a bottom with a through opening, and further including a fume outlet opening, and a removable lid having an opening that can serve as the fume outlet opening in response to the lid covering the fume outlet opening,
a rotatable tool configured to at least one of chop and/or mix the food in the food preparation vessel, the rotatable tool being rotatable about a vertical axis,
a drive configured to rotate the rotatable tool, the drive being connected to the rotatable tool via a shaft that extends in a sealed manner through the through opening,
an intake opening,
a filter,
a suction device with which fume from a food preparation in the food preparation vessel configured to be sucked in through the intake opening and conveyed through the filter,
a heating device for heating a food in the food preparation vessel,
a housing, wherein the filter and the intake opening are arranged in the housing so that fume configured to be sucked into the interior of the housing and configured to be filtered there, wherein the food preparation vessel is arranged on the housing, wherein the drive is arranged in the housing,
wherein a lowest position of the intake opening is located less than 5 cm below the fume outlet opening of the food preparation vessel or higher,
wherein the food processor has an upwardly facing cover surface, the cover surface defining at least a portion of an upper side of the food processor, and the intake opening is arranged in the cover surface,
wherein the food processor includes an outlet opening for filtered fume, and
wherein the outlet opening is arranged at a rear side of the food processor.
2 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein a lowest position of the intake opening is located at the level of the fume outlet opening or higher.
3 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein, a highest position of the intake opening is located less than 20 cm above a fume outlet opening of the food preparation vessel.
4 . The food processor of claim 3 , wherein the food preparation vessel includes a fume outlet opening, and wherein a highest position of the intake opening is located less 10 cm above the fume outlet opening of the food preparation vessel.
5 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the intake opening and the food preparation vessel is less than 20 cm.
6 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the food processor is able to access an electronically stored recipe and that the food processor controls the suction device in dependence on the electronically stored recipe.
7 . The food processor of claim 1 ,
wherein the housing includes a carrying handle for carrying the food processor and the intake opening is arranged in the carrying handle.
8 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the suction port is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation which is vertical.
9 . The food processor of claim 1 , wherein the filter configured to be cleaned.
10 . A food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel by mixing, chopping and/or heating, the food processor comprising
a food preparation vessel, the food preparation vessel including a bottom with a through opening, and further including a fume outlet opening, and a removable lid having an opening that can serve as the fume outlet opening in response to the lid covering the fume outlet opening,
a rotatable tool configured to at least one mix or chop the food in the food preparation vessel, the rotatable tool being rotatable about a vertical axis,
a drive for rotating the rotatable tool, the drive being connected to the rotatable tool via a shaft that extends in a sealed manner through the through opening,
a heating device for heating a food in the food preparation vessel, and
a housing, wherein the food preparation vessel is arranged on the housing, wherein the drive is arranged in the housing,
a suction port providing an intake opening, wherein the suction port is movable so as to enable uncovering an opening at the upper side of the food preparation vessel,
wherein a lowest position of the intake opening is located less than 5 cm below the fume outlet opening of the food preparation vessel or higher,
wherein the food processor has an upwardly facing cover surface, the cover surface defining at least a portion of an upper side of the food processor,
wherein the food processor includes an outlet opening for filtered fume,
wherein the outlet opening is arranged at a rear side of the food processor, and
wherein the food processor further comprises a receiving area configured to receive an extractor module, the extractor module comprising a filter and a suction device by means of which fume from a food preparation in the food preparation vessel configured to be sucked through the filter.
