  • Publication number: 20220117443
    Abstract: A system comprising a food processor for preparing a food in a food preparation vessel and/or another kitchen appliance, and to a method and a computer program product. The food processor comprises a tool for mixing or chopping the food in the food preparation vessel. A control unit can access a recipe and be caused by a recipe step of the recipe (26) to operate the tool and/or the heating element in a manner defined by the recipe step. The control unit is configured such that a desired time is defined during the food preparation process or for a completion of at least two recipe steps. In this way, it is possible to monitor a food preparation process during the performance with regard to completion times. Depending on the monitoring, measures can be taken to optimize a preparation of one or more foods in terms of time.

  • Publication number: 20220095840
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a domestic food processor with a plurality of electrically operable functional components for preparing a food in a pot. A control unit of the domestic food processor can access a recipe and can be caused by a recipe step of the recipe to operate one of the functional components in a manner defined by the recipe step. The recipe is configured such that the recipe defines at least one start condition for each of a plurality of recipe steps. The control unit is configured such that, depending on the start conditions of the recipe steps, the control unit can set at least one next recipe step at the latest at the end of a preceding recipe step. The present disclosure further relates to a process and computer program products. It is thus possible to prepare a food semi-automatically in a shorter time.

  • Patent number: 10512381
    Abstract: A system comprising a vacuum cleaner and a base station, wherein the vacuum cleaner has a suction opening for sucking up dirt and/or dust from a floor by a suction air flow, a fan for producing the suction air flow, a dust chamber for holding dirt and/or dust, and an air outlet opening such that air sucked in together with the dirt and/or dust can be discharged again. The base station can be connected to the vacuum cleaner in such a way that the dust chamber can be emptied into the base station by means of an air flow. The air flow used to empty the dust chamber can be produced and blown into the dust chamber by the fan for producing the suction air flow. The base station has a return channel, through which the air flow exiting the dust chamber can be guided back into the vacuum cleaner.

  • Patent number: 9863441
    Abstract: A cleaning device includes an air flow generator for generating an air flow, which encompasses a first suction flow through a first suction line, which is arranged in flow direction of the air flow upstream of the air flow generator and which leads into a first collecting container, and a pressure flow in a pressure line, which is arranged in flow direction of the air flow downstream from the air flow generator. Using a Venturi nozzle, the air flow generates a second suction flow, which is separated from the first suction flow, through a second suction line, which leads into a second collecting container.
