A preparation vessel for connection with a receiving area of a base unit of an electric motor-driven food processor has a pot, a pot foot that can be connected with the receiving area, and a cover that closes the pot opening of the pot. The preparation vessel has a locking assembly with a locking element for locking the pot with the cover. The pot foot has at least one activating element for activating the locking assembly. The activating element is arranged on the pot foot in such a way that it can be activated by a corresponding activating assembly of the receiving area of the food processor.

Preparation vessel for connection with a locking assembly

A preparation vessel is adapted for connection with a receiving area of a base unit of an electric motor-driven food processor. In order to provide a preparation vessel for a food processor that can be locked with a base unit of a food processor regardless of its height, the preparation vessel has a locking assembly for locking the preparation vessel with the base unit of the food processor. The locking assembly has a displaceable contact element, which is arranged on the preparation vessel in such a way that it can be activated by a corresponding activating assembly of the receiving area of the food processor with the preparation vessel in a state properly connected with the base unit, so as to induce the locking of the preparation vessel by means of the locking assembly.

A kitchen appliance, including at least one kitchen appliance base and at least one preparation module is provided. The kitchen appliance base includes at least one electrical interface and at least one receiving region. The preparation module includes at least one electrical counter-interface for electrical contacting with the electrical interface. The electrical interface includes at least two power contacts and at least one auxiliary contact. The electrical counter-interface includes at least two power counter-contacts and at least one auxiliary counter-contact. In the kitchen appliance, the insertion forces for the electrical contacting for the user are reduced, are realized by the power contacts and the power counter-contacts, as well as the auxiliary contact and the auxiliary counter-contact being designed and configured such that the power contacts are electrically contacted with the power counter-contacts at a different point in time than is the auxiliary contact with the auxiliary counter-contact.
