Cleaning device for a mixing vessel of a food processor operated by an electric motor
A cleaning device for a mixing vessel of a food processor operated by an electric motor, wherein the mixing vessel has a vessel bottom, a circumferential wall and a cover element and can be connected to a rotary element in a torque-proof manner with the aid of a fasteners and is designed for sweeping over at least a partial area of an inner wall of the mixing vessel and mechanically removing deposits located thereon during a rotation of the rotary element about a rotational axis. The cleaning device is in the form of a bristle element or wiper element and has a C-shaped design that is in contact with the vessel bottom, the circumferential wall and the cover element such that cleaning of the vessel bottom, the circumferential wall and the cover element can take place simultaneously when the mixing vessel is closed with the cover element.
1. A cleaning device for a mixing vessel of a food processor operated by an electric motor, wherein the cleaning device is configured to be connected to a rotary element positioned in the mixing vessel of the food processor in a torque-proof manner with the aid of a fastening element and is designed for removing deposits located on at least a partial area of the inner wall of the mixing vessel during a rotation of the rotary element about a rotational axis, wherein the cleaning device is designed for a cleaning effect in an axial direction, as well as in a radial direction, wherein the cleaning device is configured to surround the rotational axis over at least an angular segment in a circumferential direction, and wherein the cleaning device has a wave-shaped contour viewed from radially outside, which continues in the circumferential direction and has multiple ascending wave sections and multiple descending wave sections, in the angular segment, wherein the ascending wave sections lie opposite of one another in pairs relative to the rotational axis and/or the descending wave sections lie opposite of one another in pairs relative to the rotational axis.
2. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning device has a closed annular contour viewed in the axial direction.
3. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the ascending wave sections and a one of the descending wave sections lie behind one another in a mirrored manner referred to a direction extending parallel to the rotational axis.
4. The cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning device comprises a bristle element and/or a wiper element.
5. A mixing vessel for the food processor operated by the electric motor, wherein the mixing vessel comprises the rotary element that is configured to be connected to the driveshaft of the rotary drive of the food processor in the torque-proof manner, and wherein the mixing vessel comprises the cleaning device of claim 1 .
6. The mixing vessel according to claim 5 , further comprising a cover element with a central opening, wherein the cleaning device comprises a splash protection element that covers the central opening in the axial direction and is designed for preventing liquid from splashing out of the central opening.
7. A food processor that is operated by the electric motor and comprises the rotary drive and the mixing vessel according to claim 5 , wherein the rotary element of the mixing vessel is connected to the driveshaft of the rotary drive in the torque-proof manner.
