Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung mit einem Betätigungsteil und mit einem Basisteil, das ein Schneidteil aufweist, wobei das Basisteil und das Betätigungsteil derart gelenkig verbunden sind, dass das Betätigungsteil zum Hindurchdrücken von zu zerkleinerndem Lebensmittelgut aus einer Einlegestellung gegen das Schneidteil in eine Schließstellung und anschließend von der Schließstellung wieder in die Einlegestellung schwenkbar ist, wobei die Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung wenigstens eine Antriebseinrichtung, insbesondere einen Federantrieb, zum Unterstützen oder Bewirken der Schwenkbewegung von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung und/oder von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung aufweist.The invention relates to a food crusher with an actuating part and with a base part, which has a cutting part, wherein the base part and the actuating part are articulated such that the actuating part for pressing food to be shredded from an insertion position against the cutting part in a closed position and then by the closed position is pivotable back into the insertion position, wherein the food shredding device has at least one drive device, in particular a spring drive, for supporting or effecting the pivoting movement from the closed position to the insertion position and / or from the insertion position into the closed position.
Geräte der eingangs genannten Art zum Zerkleinern von kleinerem Lebensmittelgut, wie beispielsweise Champignons, sind als Handgeräte bekannt.Devices of the type mentioned for crushing of smaller food, such as mushrooms, are known as hand-held devices.
Beispielsweise ist in
Ein ähnliches Gerät mit einer besonderen Schneidklingenanordnung ist aus
Bei den vorgenannten Geräten handelt es sich um Geräte, die wie eine Zange in einer Hand gehalten werden und bei denen der Zerkleinerungsvorgang durch Schließen der Hand, in der die Zerkleinerungsvorgang gehalten wird, und ein hierdurch verursachtes Zusammendrücken von zwei Zangenarmen bewirkt wird.The aforementioned devices are devices which are held like a pair of pliers in one hand and in which the crushing operation is effected by closing the hand in which the crushing operation is held and thereby causing collapse of two tong arms.
Es gibt auch, wie nachfolgend beschrieben ist, vollkommen anders ausgebildete Geräte, die nicht in der Hand gehalten werden, sondern auf einer Arbeitsfläche aufgestellt werden. Zumeist weisen diese Geräte ein Gefäß für das zerkleinerte Gut auf. Diese Geräte haben mit den vorgenannten Geräten einzig das Zerkleinerungsprinzip, nämlich das Hindurchdrücken des zu zerkleinernden Gutes durch eine Schneideinrichtung, gemeinsam.There are also, as described below, completely different trained devices that are not held in the hand, but are placed on a work surface. In most cases, these devices have a vessel for the shredded good. These devices have with the aforementioned devices only the crushing principle, namely the pressing of the material to be shredded by a cutting device, in common.
Beispielsweise ist aus
Andere Vorrichtungen zum Aufstellen auf einer Arbeitsfläche sind beispielsweise aus
Die bekannten Vorrichtungen, die auf einer Arbeitsfläche aufgestellt werden, weisen keine Antriebseinrichtung auf, so dass sowohl die Schwenkbewegung von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung, als auch die Schwenkbewegung von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung durch den Benutzer vorgenommen werden müssen.The known devices which are placed on a work surface, have no drive means, so that both the pivotal movement of the insertion position in the closed position, as well as the pivotal movement must be made from the closed position to the insertion position by the user.
Bei den eingangs beschriebenen Handgeräten kann es vorkommen, dass je nach Art des zu zerkleinernden Gutes die Federkraft nicht ausreicht, um die Zangenarme nach einem Zerkleinerungsvorgang wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zu bewegen. Dies beispielsweise, weil Teile des Gutes seitlich zwischen die Klingen und den Wandungen der Schlitze des Pressstempels gelangen und so den Mechanismus verklemmen. Andererseits hat das Vorsehen einer sehr starken Feder den Nachteil, dass der Benutzer zusätzlich zur Kraft zum Hindurchdrücken des zu zerkleinernden Gutes durch das Schneidteil gleichzeitig auch die Kraft zum Spannen der Feder aufbringen muss, so dass die Zerkleinerung bestimmter Lebensmittel unmöglich werden könnte, wenn die Handkraft des Benutzers nicht ausreichend groß ist.In the manual devices described above, it may happen that, depending on the nature of the material to be shredded, the spring force is insufficient to move the gun arms after a crushing process back to the starting position. This, for example, because parts of the goods get laterally between the blades and the walls of the slots of the ram and so the mechanism jam. On the other hand, the provision of a very strong spring has the disadvantage that the user in addition to the force for pushing the material to be crushed by the cutting part at the same time has to apply the force for tensioning the spring, so that the crushing of certain foods could be impossible if the manual force the user is not large enough.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung anzugeben, die individuell an unterschiedliche Zerkleinerungsanforderungen unterschiedlicher Lebensmittel anpassbar ist.It is the object of the present invention to provide a food shredder that is individually adaptable to different shredding requirements of different foods.
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Antriebseinrichtung wahlweise zuschaltbar oder abschaltbar ist und/oder dass die Unterstützungskraft der Antriebseinrichtung einstellbar ist.The object is achieved by a food comminution device, which is characterized in that the drive device is optionally switchable or can be switched off and / or that the support force of the drive device is adjustable.
Ein Abschalten erfolgt vorzugsweise derart, dass das Betätigungsteil bei abgeschalteter Antriebseinrichtung relativ zu dem Basisteil frei verschwenkbar ist. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass ein Abschalten in der Weise erfolgt, dass keine Verschwenkung des Betätigungsteils relativ zu dem Basisteil mehr möglich ist.Switching off is preferably carried out in such a way that the actuating part is freely pivotable relative to the base part when the drive device is switched off. However, it can also be provided that a shutdown takes place in such a way that no pivoting of the actuating part relative to the base part is possible.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung hat den Vorteil, dass sie je nach Art des zu zerkleinernden Gutes so eingestellt werden kann, dass immer ein schneller und effizienter Zerkleinerungsprozess ermöglicht ist.The food shredder according to the invention has the advantage that it can be adjusted depending on the nature of the material to be shredded so that always a faster and more efficient shredding process is possible.
Beispielsweise kann bei einer Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung, bei der die Antriebseinrichtung wenigstens eine Feder aufweist, die beim Schwenken des Betätigungsteils von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung gespannt wird und die sich zur Unterstützung der Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung entspannt, ein Abschalten der Antriebseinrichtung erfolgen, wenn besonders harte Lebensmittel zerkleinert werden sollen, wofür der Benutzer ohnehin seine gesamte Kraft benötigt. Auf diese Weise ist vermieden, dass der Benutzer zusätzlich beim Schwenken des Betätigungsteils von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung zusätzlich Energie zum Spannen der Feder aufbringen muss.For example, in a food crusher in which the drive means comprises at least one spring which, upon pivoting of the operating member from the insertion position into the Closed position is tensioned and relaxes in support of the pivoting movement of the operating part of the closed position in the insertion position, shutdown of the drive device done when particularly hard food to be crushed, for which the user needs all his power anyway. In this way, it is avoided that the user additionally has to apply additional energy for tensioning the spring when the actuating part is pivoted from the insertion position into the closed position.
Zum Zerkleinern von Lebensmittelgut, das mit geringem Kraftaufwand mittels des Betätigungsteils durch das Schneidteil gedrückt werden kann, kann der Antrieb hingegen zugeschaltet werden; beispielsweise um das Schwenken des Betätigungsteils von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung zu unterstützen oder selbstständig zu bewirken.For crushing food, which can be pressed with little effort by the operating part through the cutting part, the drive can be switched on, however; For example, to support the pivoting of the operating part of the closed position in the insertion position or to effect independently.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist es bei einer Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung, bei der die Unterstützungskraft der Antriebseinrichtung einstellbar ist, möglich, beispielsweise in Abhängigkeit von der Schneidbarkeit des Lebensmittelgutes eine Zwischeneinstellung zwischen vollständigem Abschalten und vollständigem Zuschalten zu wählen.Advantageously, it is possible in a food crusher in which the supporting force of the drive device is adjustable, for example, depending on the cuttability of the food good to choose an intermediate setting between complete shutdown and complete connection.
Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung kann in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass mehrere, insbesondere genau zwei, Antriebseinrichtungen und mehrere, insbesondere genau zwei, Kopplungseinrichtungen vorhanden sind und dass jede der Antriebseinrichtungen jeweils mittels einer Kopplungseinrichtung wahlweise zuschaltbar oder abschaltbar ist. Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die mehreren Antriebseinrichtungen unabhängig voneinander zuschaltbar oder abschaltbar sind.In a particularly advantageous embodiment may be provided in an advantageous manner that several, in particular exactly two, drive means and a plurality, in particular exactly two, coupling means are provided and that each of the drive means is selectively switched on or off by means of a coupling device. In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the plurality of drive devices can be switched on or off independently of each other.
Eine solche Ausführung hat den ganz besonderen Vorteil, dass eine Unterstützung oder Bewirkung der Schwenkbewegung durch Abschalten aller Antriebseinrichtungen vollständig abgeschaltet werden kann, dass eine maximale Unterstützung oder Bewirkung der Schwenkbewegung durch Zuschalten aller Antriebseinrichtungen möglich ist und dass außerdem durch Zuschalten lediglich eines Teils der Antriebseinrichtungen eine Zwischeneinstellung erreicht werden kann.Such a design has the very special advantage that a support or effecting the pivoting movement by Shutdown of all drive means can be completely switched off, that a maximum support or effecting the pivoting movement by connecting all drive means is possible and that also by connecting only a part of the drive means an intermediate setting can be achieved.
Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung weist die Lebensmittelzerkleinerungsvorrichtung zwei spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander angeordnete Gelenke mit koaxialen Schwenkachsen, zur gelenkigen Ankopplung des Betätigungsteils an das Basisteil auf. Hierbei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass jedes der Gelenke eine Antriebseinrichtung aufweist oder dass an jedes der Gelenke eine eigene Antriebseinrichtung angebaut ist. Vorzugsweise sind auch die Antriebseinrichtungen relativ zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut und angeordnet.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the food shredding device has two mirror-symmetrically arranged joints with coaxial pivot axes, for articulated coupling of the actuating part to the base part. In this case, it can be provided, in particular, that each of the joints has a drive device or that a separate drive device is attached to each of the joints. Preferably, the drive means are constructed and arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to each other.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung kann die Antriebseinrichtung mittels einer schaltbaren Kopplungseinrichtung wahlweise zugeschaltet oder abgeschaltet werden. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass mit der Kopplungseinrichtung eine mechanische Kopplung der Antriebseinrichtung mit dem Basisteil und/oder dem Betätigungsteil, beispielsweise durch Herstellen einer Formschlussverbindung oder einer Reibschlussverbindung, bewirkt werden kann.In a particular embodiment, the drive means can be selectively switched on or off by means of a switchable coupling device. In particular, it can be provided that with the coupling device, a mechanical coupling of the drive means with the base part and / or the actuating part, for example by producing a form-locking connection or a frictional connection, can be effected.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung weist die Kopplungseinrichtung ein Kopplungselement auf, das entweder in eine Kopplungsstellung oder eine Entkopplungsstellung überführbar ist, wobei durch das Kopplungselement in der Kopplungsstellung eine mechanische, insbesondere formschlüssige und/oder drehfeste, Kopplung einer Feder der Antriebseinrichtung zu dem Basisteil oder zu dem Betätigungsteil hergestellt ist und die mechanische Kopplung in der Entkopplungsstellung gelöst ist. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Ende und/oder ein Schenkel der Feder fest mit dem Betätigungsteil verbunden ist, während das andere Ende und oder der andere Schenkel der Feder mittels des Kopplungselementes wahlweise an das Basisteil angekoppelt werden kann. Natürlich ist es auch umgekehrt möglich, dass ein Ende und/oder ein Schenkel der Feder fest mit dem Basisteil verbunden ist, während das andere Ende und oder der andere Schenkel der Feder mittels des Kopplungselementes wahlweise an das Betätigungsteil angekoppelt werden kann.In a particular embodiment, the coupling device has a coupling element which can be transferred either into a coupling position or a decoupling position, wherein by the coupling element in the coupling position, a mechanical, in particular positive and / or rotationally fixed, coupling a spring of the drive means to the base part or to the Operating part is made and the mechanical coupling is released in the decoupling position. In particular, it may be provided in that one end and / or one leg of the spring is fixedly connected to the actuating part, while the other end and / or the other leg of the spring can be selectively coupled to the base part by means of the coupling element. Of course, it is also possible conversely that one end and / or one leg of the spring is firmly connected to the base part, while the other end and / or the other leg of the spring can be selectively coupled by means of the coupling element to the actuating part.
Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass das Kopplungselement in der Kopplungsstellung in eine Ausnehmung des Basisteils oder des Betätigungsteils eingreift und in der Entkopplungsstellung außerhalb der Ausnehmung angeordnet ist.In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the coupling element engages in the coupling position in a recess of the base part or the actuating part and is arranged in the decoupling position outside of the recess.
Insbesondere, wenn ein durch die Antriebseinheit bewirktes Drehmoment zum Unterstützen oder Bewirken der Schwenkbewegung zu übertragen ist, kann in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass das Kopplungselement in der Kopplungsstellung relativ zu der Ausnehmung des Basisteils oder des Betätigungsteils, in die es eingreift, unverdrehbar angeordnet ist. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass das Kopplungselement im Querschnitt unrund, insbesondere mehrkantig, ausgebildet ist und in der Kopplungsstellung in eine entsprechende, unrunde, insbesondere mehrkantige, Ausnehmung des Basisteils oder des Betätigungsteils eingreift.In particular, when a torque caused by the drive unit is to be transmitted for assisting or effecting the pivoting movement, it can be advantageously provided that the coupling element is arranged non-rotatably in the coupling position relative to the recess of the base part or of the actuating part in which it engages , This can for example be achieved in that the coupling element in cross-section out of round, in particular polygonal, is formed and engages in the coupling position in a corresponding, non-circular, in particular polygonal, recess of the base part or the actuating part.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist das Kopplungselement als, insbesondere linear, verschiebbarer Schieber ausgebildet. Hierbei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass er zur Herbeiführung der Kopplungsstellung in eine Ausnehmung des Basisteils oder des Betätigungsteils, insbesondere formschlüssig und/oder unverdrehbar, einschiebbar ist und zur Herbeiführung der Entkopplungsstellung aus der Ausnehmung des Basisteils oder des Betätigungsteils, herausgezogen wird.In a particular embodiment, the coupling element is designed as, in particular linear, sliding slide. In this case, it can be provided, in particular, that it can be inserted to bring about the coupling position into a recess of the base part or of the actuating part, in particular positively and / or non-rotatably, and is pulled out of the recess of the base part or the actuating part to bring about the decoupling position.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung, die es insbesondere erlaubt, die Antriebseinrichtung bzw. die Antriebseinrichtungen besonders platzsparend und in einer den Zerkleinerungsprozess nicht störenden Position unterzubringen, ist vorgesehen, dass die gelenkige Verbindung durch wenigstens ein Gelenk, insbesondere ein Scharniergelenk, mit einem Gelenkkopf und einer Gelenkkopfaufnahme gebildet ist, wobei wenigstens ein Bauteil der Antriebseinrichtung Teil des Gelenks ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Antriebseinrichtung im Bereich des Gelenks angeordnet ist und/oder zur Herbeiführung der Kopplungsstellung mit Teilen des Gelenks mechanisch verkoppelbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment, which in particular allows to accommodate the drive device or the drive means particularly space-saving and in a non-interfering crushing process, it is provided that the articulated connection by at least one joint, in particular a hinge joint, with a condyle and a condyle is formed, wherein at least one component of the drive device is part of the joint. Alternatively or additionally, it may also be provided that the drive device is arranged in the region of the joint and / or is mechanically couplable with parts of the joint for bringing about the coupling position.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist die Ausnehmung, in die das Kopplungselement eingreifen kann, in einem Teil der gelenkigen Verbindung, insbesondere in einem Gelenkkopf oder einer Gelenkkopfaufnahme angeordnet.In a particular embodiment, the recess into which the coupling element can engage is arranged in a part of the articulated connection, in particular in a joint head or a joint head receptacle.
Insbesondere bei einer solchen Ausführung kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass das Kopplungselement in einem Teil der gelenkigen Verbindung, insbesondere in einem Gelenkkopf oder einer Gelenkkopfaufnahme, insbesondere beweglich, angeordnet ist und/oder dass das Kopplungselement einen Teil der gelenkigen Verbindung, insbesondere einen Gelenkkopf, bildet.In particular, in such an embodiment, for example, be provided that the coupling element in a part of the articulated connection, in particular in a condyle or a condyle, especially movably arranged, and / or that the coupling element forms part of the articulated connection, in particular a condyle ,
Bei einer besonders zuverlässigen und kompakt ausführbaren Ausführung ist das Kopplungselement, das beispielsweise als Schieber ausgebildet ist, auf der Schwenkachse der gelenkigen Verbindung angeordnet. Insbesondere hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Kopplungselement entlang der Schwenkachse der gelenkigen Verbindung verschiebbar geführt ist.In a particularly reliable and compact executable embodiment, the coupling element, which is designed for example as a slide, arranged on the pivot axis of the articulated connection. In particular, in this case it can be provided that the coupling element is guided displaceably along the pivot axis of the articulated connection.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung weist das Betätigungsteil eine Gelenkkopfaufnahme auf, in die ein, beispielsweise als Zapfen ausgebildeter, Gelenkkopf des Basisteils zur Bindung der gelenkigen Verbindung aufgenommen werden kann. Darüber hinaus weist die Gelenkkopfaufnahme bei dieser Ausführung vorzugsweise eine Führung für ein als Schieber ausgebildetes Kopplungselement auf, das entlang der Schwenkachse der gelenkigen Verbindung entweder in eine Kopplungsstellung oder in eine Entkopplungsstellung verschoben werden kann. In der Kopplungsstellung greift ein freies Ende des Schiebers drehstarr in eine Ausnehmung des Gelenkkopfes ein und koppelt so eine an dem Betätigungsteil festgelegte Feder, insbesondere Spiralfeder oder Schraubenfeder oder Schenkelfeder, an das Basisteil. Beim Verschwenken des Betätigungsteils relativ zu dem Basisteil wird die Feder gespannt und Energie für die Rückschwenkbewegung gespeichert.In a particular embodiment, the actuating part on a joint head receptacle, in the one, for example as a pin trained, condyle of the base part can be added to bind the articulated connection. Moreover, in this embodiment, the conical head receptacle preferably has a guide for a coupling element designed as a slide, which can be displaced along the pivot axis of the articulated connection either into a coupling position or into a decoupling position. In the coupling position engages a free end of the slide torsionally rigid in a recess of the joint head and coupled so fixed to the operating part spring, in particular coil spring or coil spring or leg spring, to the base part. Upon pivoting of the actuating member relative to the base member, the spring is tensioned and stored energy for the Rückschwenkbewegung.
Hierbei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass die Feder zumindest teilweise als Spiralfeder ausgebildet ist, die die Schwenkachse konzentrisch umgibt und wobei das äußere Ende der Spiralfeder an dem Betätigungsteil festgelegt ist, während das innere Ende der Spiralfeder in einem Längsschlitz des als Schieber ausgebildeten Kopplungselements angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist ermöglicht, dass der Schieber entlang der Schwenkachse verschoben werden kann, ohne die Spiralfeder zu biegen.This may be provided in particular that the spring is at least partially formed as a spiral spring which surrounds the pivot axis concentrically and wherein the outer end of the coil spring is fixed to the actuating part, while the inner end of the coil spring is arranged in a longitudinal slot formed as a slide coupling element , In this way it is possible that the slider can be moved along the pivot axis, without bending the coil spring.
Es ist auch möglich, dass die Feder als Schraubenfeder ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Ende der Schraubenfeder linear verschiebbar in einem Längsschlitz des als Schieber ausgebildeten Kopplungselements angeordnet ist, während das andere Ende an dem Betätigungsteil festgelegt ist.It is also possible that the spring is designed as a helical spring, wherein one end of the helical spring is disposed linearly displaceable in a longitudinal slot of the coupling element designed as a slide, while the other end is fixed to the actuating part.
Zum Bewirken einer drehstarren Ankopplung des Kopplungselements mit dem Basisteil kann, wie bereits erläutert, vorgesehen sein, dass das Kopplungselement an seinem freien Ende im Querschnitt unrund ausgebildet ist, so dass er sich nicht in der entsprechend ausgebildeten Ausnehmung drehen kann.To effect a torsionally rigid coupling of the coupling element to the base part, it can be provided, as already explained, that the coupling element is non-round in cross-section at its free end, so that it does not have the corresponding design Recess can rotate.
Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung ist die gelenkige Verbindung derart ausgebildet, dass das Betätigungsteil wenigstens in einer bestimmten Schwenkstellung, insbesondere in der Einlegestellung, von dem Basisteil, insbesondere ausschließlich durch Auseinanderziehen von Betätigungsteil und Basisteil, lösbar ist. Eine solche Ausführung hat den ganz besonderen Vorteil, dass das Basisteil und das Betätigungsteil beispielsweise für einen Reinigungsvorgang einfach und vorzugsweise ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeuges voneinander getrennt werden können. Ein weiterer Vorteil einer solchen Ausführung liegt darin, dass das Betätigungsteil falls erforderlich auch gegen ein anderes Betätigungsteil, beispielsweise mit einem anderen Pressstempel für ein anderes Schneidteil, ersetzt werden kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the articulated connection is designed such that the actuating part, at least in a certain pivot position, in particular in the insertion position, of the base part, in particular exclusively by pulling apart of actuating part and base part, is detachable. Such a design has the very special advantage that the base part and the actuating part, for example, for a cleaning process can be separated easily and preferably without the aid of a tool. Another advantage of such an embodiment is that if necessary, the operating part can also be replaced by another operating part, for example with another press ram for another cutting part.
Eine solche werkzeugfreie Trennbarkeit von Basisteil und Betätigungsteil kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Gelenkkopfaufnahme eine radiale Öffnung aufweist, durch die der Gelenkkopf aus der Gelenkkopfaufnahme in radialer Richtung herausnehmbar oder einsetzbar ist.Such a tool-free separability of the base part and the actuating part can be achieved, for example, by the fact that the condyle receptacle has a radial opening through which the condyle can be removed or inserted from the condyle receptacle in the radial direction.
Bei einer ganz besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung ist die gelenkige Verbindung derart ausgebildet, dass das Betätigungsteil wenigstens in einer bestimmten Schwenkstellung, insbesondere in der Einlegestellung, von dem Basisteil, insbesondere ausschließlich durch Auseinanderziehen von Betätigungsteil und Basisteil, unabhängig davon lösbar ist, ob die Antriebseinrichtung zugeschaltet oder abgeschaltet ist und/oder unabhängig davon, ob sich das Kopplungselement in der Kopplungsstellung oder in der Entkopplungsstellung befindet.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the articulated connection is designed such that the actuating part, at least in a specific pivot position, in particular in the insertion position, of the base part, in particular exclusively by pulling apart of actuating part and base part, regardless of whether the drive device is switched on or solvable is switched off and / or regardless of whether the coupling element is in the coupling position or in the decoupling position.
Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Ausnehmung eine zusätzliche, insbesondere radial ausgerichtete, Öffnung aufweist, durch die das Kopplungselement, vorzugsweise in radialer Richtung, also senkrecht zur Schwenkachse, aus der Ausnehmung entnehmbar ist. Es ist bei einer solchen Ausführung demgemäß nicht notwendig, das Kopplungselement zunächst in die Entkopplungsstellung zu überführen und damit aus der Ausnehmung zu entfernen, um ein Lösen des Betätigungsteils von dem Basisteil zu ermöglichen. Vielmehr kann, wie bereits erwähnt, dass Kopplungselement durch die zusätzliche Öffnung aus der Ausnehmung entfernt werden.This can be achieved, for example, in that the recess has an additional, in particular radially aligned, Having opening through which the coupling element, preferably in the radial direction, that is perpendicular to the pivot axis, can be removed from the recess. Accordingly, it is not necessary in such an embodiment to first transfer the coupling element into the decoupling position and thus to remove it from the recess in order to allow the operating part to be detached from the base part. Rather, as already mentioned, the coupling element can be removed through the additional opening from the recess.
Wie bereits erwähnt, kann in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass sich die zugeschaltete Antriebseinrichtung einerseits an dem Basisteil und andererseits an dem Betätigungsteil abstützt und/oder dass die zugeschaltete Antriebseinrichtung zwischen dem Basisteil und dem Betätigungsteil wirkt und/oder angeordnet ist.As already mentioned, it may be provided in an advantageous manner that the switched-on drive device is supported on the one hand on the base part and on the other hand on the actuating part and / or that the switched-in drive device acts and / or is arranged between the base part and the actuating part.
Wie bereits erwähnt kann in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass die gelenkige Verbindung durch wenigstens ein Gelenk, insbesondere ein Scharniergelenk, mit einem Gelenkkopf und einer Gelenkkopfaufnahme gebildet ist.As already mentioned, it may be provided in an advantageous manner that the articulated connection is formed by at least one joint, in particular a hinge joint, with a joint head and a joint head receptacle.
Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass das Basisteil einerseits wenigstens einen Gelenkkopf aufweist und das Betätigungsteil andererseits eine korrespondierende Gelenkkopfaufnahme zur Bildung einer gelenkigen Verbindung aufweist, oder dass das Betätigungsteil einerseits wenigstens einen Gelenkkopf und das Basisteil andererseits eine korrespondierende Gelenkkopfaufnahme zur Bildung einer gelenkigen Verbindung aufweist.In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the base part on the one hand has at least one condyle and the operating part on the other hand has a corresponding condyle to form an articulated connection, or that the operating part on the one hand at least one condyle and the base part on the other hand has a corresponding condyle to form a hinged connection.
Bei einer solchen Vorrichtung kann in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen sein, dass sich die zugeschaltete Antriebseinrichtung einerseits an dem Gelenkkopf und andererseits an der Gelenkkopfaufnahme abstützt. Es kann alternativ oder zusätzlich auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Antriebseinrichtung an und/oder in dem Gelenk angeordnet ist und/oder dass wenigstens ein Bauteil der Antriebseinrichtung Teil des Gelenks ist.In such a device can be provided in an advantageous manner that the switched-drive device is supported on the one hand on the joint head and on the other hand on the joint head receptacle. It Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that the drive device is arranged on and / or in the joint and / or that at least one component of the drive device is part of the joint.
Wie ebenfalls bereits erwähnt, kann die Antriebseinrichtung wenigstens eine Feder, insbesondere eine Spiralfeder oder eine Schraubenfeder oder eine Schenkelfeder, aufweisen. Die Antriebseinrichtung kann - alternativ oder zusätzlich - auch eine Gasdruckfeder aufweisen. Die Antriebseinrichtung kann auch als elektromotorische Antriebseinrichtung ausgebildet sein.As also already mentioned, the drive device can have at least one spring, in particular a spiral spring or a helical spring or a leg spring. The drive device may - alternatively or additionally - also have a gas pressure spring. The drive device can also be designed as an electromotive drive device.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung weist die Antriebseinrichtung wenigstens eine Feder auf, die beim Schwenken des Betätigungsteils von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung gespannt wird und die sich zur Unterstützung der Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung entspannt. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass die Antriebseinrichtung wenigstens eine Feder aufweist, die beim Schwenken des Betätigungsteils von der Schließstellung in die Einlegestellung gespannt wird und die sich zur Unterstützung der Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils von der Einlegestellung in die Schließstellung entspannt. Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist es möglich, zwischen den beiden vorgenannten Betriebsarten umzuschalten.In a particular embodiment, the drive means comprises at least one spring, which is tensioned during pivoting of the actuating part of the insertion position in the closed position and which relaxes in support of the pivotal movement of the actuating member from the closed position to the insertion position. Alternatively, it is also possible that the drive means comprises at least one spring which is tensioned during pivoting of the actuating part from the closed position into the insertion position and which relaxes in support of the pivoting movement of the actuating part of the insertion position in the closed position. In a particular embodiment, it is possible to switch between the two aforementioned modes.
Die Vorrichtung kann insbesondere dazu ausgebildet sein, für einen Zerkleinerungsvorgang auf einer Arbeitsfläche aufgestellt zu werden. Beispielsweise kann die Vorrichtung einen Ständer, beispielsweise mit Standfüßen, zum Aufstellen auf einer Arbeitsfläche aufweisen. Insbesondere kann auch ein Gefäß zum Auffangen des zerkleinerten Lebensmittelguts als Ständer ausgebildet sein und fungieren.The device can in particular be designed to be set up for a comminution process on a work surface. For example, the device may have a stand, for example with feet, for placement on a work surface. In particular, a vessel for collecting the comminuted foodstuff can also be designed as a stand and act.
In vorteilhafter Weise kann die Vorrichtung als Deckel ausgebildet sein, der auf ein Gefäß - vorzugsweise die Gefäßöffnung vollständig abdeckend - aufsetzbar und/oder an einem Gefäß festlegbar ist. Das zerkleinerte Lebensmittelgut kann auf diese Weise sicher und zuverlässig in dem Gefäß aufgefangen werden. Insbesondere ist auf diese Weise auch vermieden, dass ungewünschte Dinge in das Gefäß zu der Speise gelangen. Dies insbesondere wenn im Küchenbereich gleichzeitig weitere Speisen zubereitet würden. Weiterhin ist eine Abnahme der Vorrichtung nach der Benutzung nicht notwendig, um einen separaten Deckel aufzusetzen. Dies gilt insbesondere bei zeitlich kurz unterbrochenen Nutzungen der Vorrichtung.Advantageously, the device may be designed as a lid, which can be placed on a vessel - preferably completely covering the vessel opening - and / or fixed to a vessel. The shredded food can be collected safely and reliably in the vessel in this way. In particular, it is also avoided in this way that undesirable things get into the vessel to the food. This especially if in the kitchen area at the same time more food would be prepared. Furthermore, a decrease in the device after use is not necessary to set up a separate lid. This applies in particular to temporally short interrupted uses of the device.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist das Basisteil als Gefäß für das zerkleinerte Lebensmittelgut ausgebildet.
