Abstract
A motorized induction cooking device has a housing including a top surface for supporting a variety of vessels used for chopping, blending, mixing, or heating beverages and food. The top surface has an opening A non-magnetic rotational spindle is rotationally mounted on the housing and below the opening and coupled to a motor. An induction coil is located within the housing and adjacent the top surface. The induction coil includes a winding surrounding the opening and has a central aperture through which the spindle is accessible.
Claims9
A motorized induction device for mixing and heating a vessel, the motorized induction device comprising:
- a base member for supporting the vessel;
- a side member extending orthogonal to a side of the base member;
- a non-magnetic rotational spindle located in the base member;
- a driving member rotationally coupled to and driving the non-magnetic rotational spindle;
- a first induction coil located in the base member and extending around the non-magnetic rotational spindle for producing a first magnetic field having a first field direction, wherein the base member heats the vessel by magnetic induction;
- a second induction coil located in the side member for producing a second magnetic field having a second field direction orthogonal to the first field direction;
- and
- an adapter assembly adapted to engage a rotational shaft of the vessel and rotationally couple the non-magnetic rotational spindle and the rotational shaft of the vessel;
- wherein the first induction coil and the second induction coil are connected in series.
