Preparation vessel with a cooling device
A preparation vessel, in particular for a food processor, has a vessel wall and a preparation area surrounded by the vessel wall. The vessel wall has a cooling device that contacts the vessel wall in a heat-conducting manner for cooling a preparation item present in the preparation area. The vessel wall in at least a partial area has a double-walled design, with an inner wall bordering the preparation area and an outer wall that is formed separately from the inner wall and spaced apart from the inner wall by a gap, wherein the gap has the cooling device and a phase change material located between the cooling device and the outer wall as viewed in a direction from the preparation area to the outer wall.
1. A preparation vessel comprising a vessel wall, a preparation area surrounded by the vessel wall, and a cooling device allocated to the vessel wall, the cooling device contacting the vessel wall in a heat-conducting manner for cooling a preparation item present in the preparation area, wherein the vessel wall in at least a partial area has a double-walled design, with an inner wall bordering the preparation area and an outer wall that is formed separately from the inner wall and spaced apart from the inner wall by a gap, wherein the cooling device is disposed in the gap, and further comprising a phase change material in the gap, the phase change material being located between the cooling device and the outer wall as viewed in a radial direction from the preparation area to the outer wall, wherein the cooling device is located between the phase change material and the inner wall, wherein a plurality of adjacent heat sinks are arranged consecutively in a circumferential direction of the preparation vessel and on a side of the cooling device facing away from the inner wall, wherein the phase change material adjoins both the cooling device and the heat sinks, wherein each of the plurality of heat sinks have several cooling ribs extending longitudinally in the radial direction of the preparation vessel, and wherein the phase change material also extends between adjacent cooling ribs of each of the plurality of heat sinks, and wherein the heat sinks are spaced from one another by portions of the phase change material that extend in the radial direction from the cooling device to the outer wall.
2. The preparation vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling device is a Peltier element.
3. The preparation vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the phase change material has a specific heat capacity of greater than 2 kJ/(kg K).
4. The preparation vessel according to claim 3 , wherein the phase change material has a transition temperature that is greater than −10° C. and less than 25° C.
5. The preparation vessel according to claim 3 , wherein the gap has several phase change materials with transition temperatures that differ from each other.
6. The preparation vessel according to claim 1 , wherein a volume of the phase change material is 0.75 to 1.25 times as large as a volume of the preparation area.
7. A food processor comprising a base device and a preparation vessel according to claim 1 that is configured to be connected with the base device, wherein the base device and the preparation vessel have corresponding electrical contacts for supplying power to electrical consumers of the preparation vessel from a power source of the base device, wherein the cooling device is an electrical consumer of the preparation vessel.
