The document summarizes how a hand mixer works. It discusses the major components including the housing with connections for beaters and blades, beaters that click into hollow shafts, a blender attachment secured by screw threads, an electronic assembly that regulates power to the motor, a cooling fan attached to the motor shaft, and gears including a worm drive that reduces speed to provide torque to the beaters. Connections between components are secured by screws, clips, ball bearings and folding metal plates. The motor converts power to rotational motion that drives the cooling fan, immersion blender and beaters through the gear assembly.

3. One or two beaters

4. larger

6. Moulinex SUPERMIX trio 200

7. The housing 1) 2 major parts 2) Separate parts for the connection of the beaters and blender 3) On top of the mixer: extra parts for the handle

8. The housing - connections Major parts: snap connection and 2 screws Other housing parts are clipped between the 2 major parts

9. The housing - connections The interior is designed so that all the parts of the inside are clipped between the housing.

10. The beaters Injection of the immersion blender and the rotary beaters are on different sides. Combination blender and mixer (different speeds).

11. The beaterfunction - connections This beaters have little barbs which are clicked into the hollow shafts of the gears.

12. The beaterfunction - connections The beaters are ejected with the button on top of the mixer.

15. The electronicassembly The mains current goes through the electronic assembly before it reaches the motor. “PLUS” button rectifier Variable resistor Condensator Speed control and on/off switch Transistor diode resistor

16. The electronicassembly - connections

17. The cooling fan To cool off the motor, a cooling fan is added. It rotates together with the shaft of the motor. The fan extracts coolair and blows it on the hot motor.

18. The cooling fan - connections The cooling fan is attached to the shaft with a ball bearing.

20. Worm = extension of the shaft of the motor = the driver.

21. Gears are perpendicular connected to the worm.

23. At the back of the gears: plastic part attached to the motor assembly (4 screws).

26. Switchingon 1 3 Power cord in the plug socket. Click the beater you want to use in the mixer. Put on the speed control switch. Power goes to the motor: shaft of the motor rotates. Cooling fan and immersion blender rotate. Worm drive before two beaters rotate. 4 5 2 6 5 2
