Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cabbage slicer, and more particularly, to a slicer which presses cabbage from a horizontal direction to a horizontally rotating cutting blade and shreds the cabbage. The present invention relates to a cabbage slicer having a structure for preventing the cabbage slicer from approaching the cutting blade.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A slicer for pressing a cabbage from a horizontal direction against a horizontally rotating cutting blade to cut it into pieces is known (Japanese Patent No. 2842435). As shown in FIG. 5, this slicer has a base 1 having a substantially U-shaped side surface.
Has a structure in which a rotating drum 3 whose interior is divided into two parts by a pressing body 2 in the horizontal direction, and a cutting blade 4 that rotates horizontally in the rotating drum 1 are provided at the upper end of the rotating drum 1.

In order to cut the cabbage into slices using this slicer, the cabbage is divided into two or two pieces, and the cabbage is put into the accommodating chamber S formed by the pressing body 2 and the rotating drum 3 one by one. And the cutting blade 4 may be rotated. However, if the cut cabbage becomes lighter, the cutting efficiency is reduced. Therefore, the weight 5 is put into the storage chamber S to suppress the cabbage.

[0004]

However, as the cutting of the cabbage progresses, the weight 5 moves closer to the cutting blade 4 as shown in FIG. There is a problem of hitting the cutting edge.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the height of the weight 5 itself is increased so that the weight 5 does not drop from a predetermined position, and the top is locked to the top of the rotary drum 3. If the height of 5 is increased, the weight 5 jumps out from the top of the rotating drum 3 immediately after the cabbage is thrown into the rotating drum 3 and lacks stability in driving the slicer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to stably accommodate a weight for pressing a cabbage placed in a rotary drum downward even when the rotary drum is rotating, so that its function is sufficiently exhibited.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a cabbage contained in a horizontally rotating rotary drum is pressed downward by a weight, and the cabbage is pressed against a horizontally rotating rotary blade. In a cabbage slicer in which the cabbage is shredded by being pressed in a horizontal direction by a pressing body integrally attached to a rotating drum, a plurality of protrusions projecting outward in the horizontal direction with respect to the weight are provided. Means for preventing the weight from hitting the rotary blade by locking the projections to locking portions formed by notching the rotary drum and the pressing body is adopted.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the most preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a slicer 11 according to the present invention is basically similar to that of the prior art. , Base 12 having a substantially U-shaped side surface
A rotary drum 13 rotatably installed at the upper end of the base 12, a pressing body 14 partitioned so as to horizontally divide the inside of the rotary drum 13 into two parts, A rotating blade 15 eccentrically located and installed in the rotating drum 13 at an upper end, and a drum-shaped safety cover 1 fixed to the upper end so as to surround the rotating drum 13
6 is comprised.

[0008] The rotary drum 13 is pressed by a pressing body 14.
The weight 17 having an eyebrow-shaped plane can be inserted into the two cabbage loading chambers R formed by partitioning. In addition, the rotating drum 13 and the rotating blade 1 are mounted on the base 12.
A rotating means (not shown) for rotating 5 is provided.

However, in the slicer according to the present invention, the weight 17 and the rotating drum 13 are given specific shapes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the weight 17 is a plastic hollow container 18 having an eyebrow-shaped planar shape slightly smaller than the cabbage input chamber R.
And a heavy object 19 having a relatively large specific gravity is enclosed therein, so that the weight 17 does not tilt more than a predetermined amount in the process of descending the chamber R as described later.

Further, the height H of the weight 17 is such that at least one or two cabbages are placed in the cabbage loading chamber R and stacked, and even if the weight 17 is further stacked thereon, the weight 17 remains on the rotating drum. 13 is relatively thin enough not to overflow. In addition, a knob 20 is provided on the upper surface of the weight 17, and three projections 22 extending outward so that the weight 17 does not come off from the locking portion described below even if the weight 17 is slightly inclined. It is provided in the radial direction.

The rotating body 13 is provided with a notch 23 at a position where the rotating body 13 is divided into approximately four equal parts, and is vertically cut from the upper end face downward. Similarly, the rotating body 1
3 is divided into two semicircles, and the pressing body 14 to which a rotating shaft 21 for outputting the rotation of a motor (not shown) mounted in the base 12 is fixed is attached to the pressing body 14. An engaging portion 24 is cut out vertically downward from the upper end surface at a position substantially equidistant L from the center line C of the reference numeral 21. The mounting position of the projection 22 and the locking portion 2
The relationship between the depth D and the depth D of 24 is such that a space having a predetermined height h can be formed between the lower surface of the weight 17 and the rotary blade 15 at the time when the cutting of the cabbage is completed in the cabbage cutting process described later. Is determined (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

The two locking portions 2 of the rotating body 13
The protrusions 22 of one weight 17 can be locked with one set of locking portions 241 of the pressing body 14 and the pressing member 14, and the protrusions 22 are disengaged from the locking portions 23 and 24. Has no predetermined length.

The operation and effect of the cabbage slicer having the above structure will be described.
The two weights 17, which have been thrown into the cabbage throwing chamber R surrounded by the rotating body 13 and the pressing body 14, are taken out, and a cabbage (not shown) divided in half into the chamber R is thrown. . Then, the weight 17 is placed on the cabbage and the protrusion 22 of the weight 17 is
And the engaging portion 24 of the pressing body 14 are positioned so as to be fittable.

Next, when the power of the cabbage slicer 11 is turned on and the rotating body 13, the pressing body 14 and the rotary blade 15 are rotated, the cabbage is pushed in the horizontal direction by the pressing body 14 and contacts the rotary blade 15. During this time, the cabbage tends to be ejected outward due to centrifugal force, but is hindered by the rotating body 13, so that the cabbage is eventually cut into a predetermined cutting width by the rotary blade 15 every one rotation.

As the cabbage is cut and gradually reduced in size, the weight 17 descends in the cabbage loading chamber R. Since three projections 22 are provided around each weight 17, these projections 22 are provided. Slides down inside the locking portions 23 and 24. In this process, the plane shape of the weight 17 is slightly smaller than that of the cabbage loading chamber R, and even if the weight 17 is inclined, the projections 22 are retained by the locking portions 23, 24.
Has a length that does not deviate from the weight 17
, The cabbage is reliably cut down, and the cabbage is pressed against the rotary blade 15 side so that the cabbage is almost cut.

Even if the cutting of the cabbage is completed, the weight 17
Since the space having the predetermined height h is formed between the lower surface of the rotary blade 15 and the rotary blade 15, the weight 17 is not scraped off by the rotary blade 15. Since the weight 17 is made relatively thin, even if the weight 17 is loaded on a plurality of cabbages stacked in the cabbage loading chamber R, it is not thrown out of the rotating drum 13 during operation of the cabbage slicer 11. Especially the pressing body 1
4 is provided with a center line C of the rotating shaft 21.
Since the projections 22 of each weight 17 are locked to the two locking portions 24 formed at the same distance L from the center, the weight 17 is stable in the cabbage loading chamber R during the rotation of the rotary drum 13. Will be maintained. As a result, the operation of the cabbage slicer 11 can be continued smoothly.

The present invention can be carried out by modifying a part of the above-described embodiments within a range that does not significantly impair the effects of the invention while following the fundamental technical idea thereof. For example, the installation positions of the locking portion 23 and the protrusion 22 of the weight 17 with respect to the rotating drum 13 can be changed within a range where the safe operation of the cabbage slicer 11 is maintained. Also, cabbage slicer 1
A cover may be placed on the safety cover 16 to prevent dust from entering the cabbage loading chamber R when the device 1 is not used.

[0018]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the weight for pressing the cabbage put in the rotating drum downward is stably accommodated even when the rotating drum is rotating, and the function is sufficiently achieved. It exerts the effect of exerting it.
