The main body is installed in the container, and the container is attached to the main body. The present invention relates to an electric cooking device including a cooking rotator that is transmission-coupled to a drive unit.

  Such an electric cooker attaches the container on the main body in a mounted state, and rotates the cooking rotator provided in the container by the rotation driving unit, thereby crushing or stirring the food to be cooked in the container. It is something to do.

In such an electric cooking device, conventionally, the configuration described below has been proposed as a container mounting configuration in which the container is mounted on the main body in a state of preventing separation.
That is, a circular convex portion is provided at the top of the main body, a circular concave portion that can be fitted into the circular convex portion at the top of the main body is provided at the bottom of the container, and a part of the circular convex portion of the main body in the circumferential direction is provided.

JP 2002-336139 A Japanese Patent No. 4015967

  In the container mounting configuration of Patent Document 1, even if the container is placed on the main body at an arbitrary rotational phase, the circular concave portion of the container is fitted into the circular convex portion of the main body. Looks like it is attached to. However, if the container is not rotated and the container side retaining piece does not sink below the main body side retaining piece, the container will not be attached to the main body in a state of preventing separation, so the container side retaining piece is not attached to the main body side retaining piece. If the main body is moved or touched while the container is just placed on the main body without being submerged below, the container may be detached from the main body.

  Further, in the container mounting configuration of Patent Document 2, the container must be aligned in the rotational direction and placed on the main body so that each of the pair of receiving portions of the container is positioned above each of the pair of hook members of the main body. Since the container cannot be attached to the main body in a state of preventing detachment, the operation of attaching the container to the main body is troublesome.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this situation, The objective is to provide the electric cooker which can simplify the operation | movement which mounts | wears a main body with a container in the prevention of detachment | leave.

In order to achieve the above object, an electric cooking device according to the present invention includes a main body equipped with a rotation drive unit, a container that is mounted on the main body and is detachable, and is equipped in the container. An electric cooker comprising a cooking rotator that is connected to the rotation drive unit in a state in which a container is attached to the main body,
There is provided a mounting mechanism capable of mounting the container on the main body at an arbitrary rotation phase with respect to the main body while allowing relative rotation with respect to the main body and preventing relative movement in the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the main body. There is in point.

According to the above characteristic configuration, the container can be mounted on the main body at an arbitrary rotation phase by the mounting mechanism, and therefore, when the container is mounted on the main body, it is necessary to align the position in the rotation direction of the container with respect to the main body. The container can be easily attached to the main body.
When the container is mounted on the main body by such a mounting mechanism, the container can be rotated relative to the main body in the mounting completion posture, but the container can be moved relative to the main body in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Since it is impossible, even if the main body with the container is moved or touched, the container will not be detached from the main body.
The fact that the container cannot be moved relative to the main body in the vertical direction corresponds to the fact that the container cannot be moved relative to the main body in the approaching / separating direction. Moreover, the fact that the container cannot be moved relative to the main body in the lateral direction corresponds to the maintenance of the concentric relationship between the container and the main body.
By the way, the container mounted on the main body by the mounting mechanism can be rotated relative to the main body. For example, the container is rotated so that the handle portion attached to the container does not interfere with the cooking operation. It is easy to use.
Therefore, the electric cooker which can simplify the operation | movement which mounts | wears with a main body in the state which prevents a container from detachment | leave can be provided.

A further characteristic configuration of the electric cooking device according to the present invention is that the mounting mechanism is provided at a top portion of the main body and a hook member provided at a bottom portion of the container, and the hook member is locked. And comprising
The hook member is provided in a state of being able to move back and forth in the radial direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation drive unit, and biased in the forward direction, and projects toward the forward direction and is on the front end side. It is comprised so that it may have a collar part which has an upper surface of the front-declining slope located in the lower part,
The locking portion is provided in an annular shape in a state of projecting to the opposite side of the protruding direction of the flange portion in the radial direction so as to be locked in a state where the hook portion of the hook member is covered. is there.

According to the above characteristic configuration, when the container is positioned on the upper portion of the main body so that the annular locking portion at the bottom of the container is placed on the upper surface of the hook portion of the hook member, and the container is pushed down in this state, the hook member It is locked in such a manner that it climbs over the front end of the locking portion while retreating against the urging force directed in the forward direction and covers the locking portion.
Incidentally, the forward and backward movement in the radial direction includes both forward and backward movement in which the radially outward side is the forward direction and forward and backward movement in which the radially inner side is the forward direction.
And since the latching | locking part is cyclically provided in the bottom part of the container, even if a container is located in the upper part of a main body by arbitrary rotation phases and it pushes down, a hook member is latched by the latching | locking part.
Therefore, it is possible to attach the container to the main body in a state that prevents the detachment by simply operating the container at the top of the main body and pushing it down. I was able to do that.

  A further characteristic configuration of the electric cooking device according to the present invention is that first detection means for detecting a container mounting state in which the container is mounted on the main body at a set rotational phase position is provided.

According to the above characteristic configuration, the first detection means detects the container mounting state in which the container is mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position. Incidentally, the set rotation phase position is set to a position in the rotation direction of the container with respect to the main body so as to improve operability, usability and the like when the container is mounted on the main body and cooking work is performed, for example. For example, when the main body is provided with switches for operating the electric cooker and the container is provided with a handle portion, the switch and the handle portion are arranged so that the switches are easy to operate and the handle portion is easy to grip. The set rotational phase position is set so that the relative positional relationship is established.
For example, if the container mounting state is not detected by the first detection means, the rotation drive unit is configured not to be operated, or in addition to such a configuration, the rotation drive unit is activated. When the 1 detection means no longer detects the container mounting state, the rotation driving unit can be configured to stop.
With such a configuration, the rotation drive unit is not operated unless the container is properly attached to the main body, and the container is properly attached to the main body and the rotation drive unit is in operation. When the is removed from the main body, the rotation drive unit is stopped. In other words, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the rotation drive unit is activated even though the container is not mounted on the main body or the container is mounted on the main body but is not properly mounted. It becomes possible to do.
Therefore, in addition to simplification of the container mounting operation, safety can be improved.

A further characteristic configuration of the electric cooking device according to the present invention is provided with a lid that is detachably put on the opening of the container,
The second detection means for detecting a lid mounting state in which the lid is mounted on the container mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position is provided.

According to the above characteristic configuration, the lid mounting state in which the lid is mounted on the container mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position is detected by the second detection means.
For example, if the lid mounting state is not detected by the second detection means, the rotation drive unit is configured not to be operated, or in addition to such a configuration, the rotation drive unit is operated. When the 2 detection means no longer detects the lid mounting state, the rotation drive unit can be configured to stop.
With such a configuration, if the container is properly attached to the main body, but the lid is not attached to the container, the rotation drive unit is not operated, and the container is properly attached to the main body. When the lid is removed from the container with the lid attached to the container and the rotation driving unit operating, the rotation driving unit is stopped. That is, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the rotation drive unit is activated even though the container attached to the main body is not attached with a lid.
Therefore, in addition to simplification of the container mounting operation, safety can be improved.

The electric cooker according to the present invention is further characterized in that the container is detachably attached to the container base, which is equipped with the rotating body for cooking and is mounted on the main body by the mounting mechanism. And a container body,
The first detection member is capable of transmitting a container mounting operation in which the container is mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position to a first detection unit provided in the main body through the outside of the container base. The container mounting operation is transmitted to the first detection unit, and is configured to detect the container mounting state.
The second detection means transmits a lid mounting operation in which the lid is mounted on the container mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position to a second detection unit provided on the main body through the outside of the container base. A flexible second transmission member is provided, and the lid mounting state is detected when the lid mounting operation is transmitted to the second detection unit.

According to the above characteristic configuration, the container can be separated into the container stand and the container body, and each separated member can be cleaned separately, so that the cleaning of the container can be facilitated.
When a container composed of an integrally assembled container base and container body is mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position, the container mounting operation is transmitted to the first detection unit through the outside of the container base by the first transmission member. Thus, the container mounting state is detected.
When the container is removed from the main body in such a state that the container mounting state is detected by the first detection means, the container mounting operation is not transmitted to the first detection unit by the first transmission member, and the container mounting state is detected. It will not be done.
When a lid is attached to the container attached to the main body at the set rotational phase position, the lid attachment operation is transmitted to the second detection unit through the outside of the container base by the second transmission member, and the lid attachment state is detected. .
When the lid is removed from the container in such a state that the lid attachment state is detected by the second detection means, the lid attachment operation is not transmitted to the second detector by the second transmission member, and the lid attachment state is detected. It will not be done.
That is, the container mounting state and the lid mounting state can be accurately detected while the container is configured by a container base and a container body that are separable from each other to facilitate cleaning of the container.

By the way, as mentioned above, when the container is composed of a container base and a container body that are separable from each other, when the container base and the container body are assembled, the relative rotational positional relationship between them may be shifted.
On the other hand, when the first detection means and the second detection means are configured as described above, when the container is mounted on the main body at the set rotational phase position, the rotational position of the container body relative to the main body is aligned with the set rotational phase position. In this state, the container may be attached to the main body.
Even in these cases, according to this feature configuration, the mounting mechanism can mount the container base to the main body at an arbitrary rotational phase, so even if the relative rotational positional relationship between the container base and the container body is shifted, Since the container base can be attached to the main body in a state where the rotational position of the container body with respect to the main body is aligned with the set rotational phase position, the operation of attaching the container to the main body in a state of preventing the separation can be facilitated.

  A further characteristic configuration of the electric cooking device according to the present invention is that positioning means for positioning the position of the container in the rotation direction with respect to the main body at the set rotation phase position is provided.

According to the above characteristic configuration, when the container is mounted on the main body and rotated at an arbitrary rotation phase, the container can be positioned at the set rotation phase position by the positioning means. Further, even when the container is mounted on the main body in a state where the position in the rotation direction with respect to the main body is matched with the set rotation phase position, the container can be positioned at the set rotation phase position by the positioning means.
That is, while the container can be attached to the main body in an arbitrary rotational phase in a state of preventing detachment, the position of the container in the rotational direction can be easily positioned at the set rotational phase position.
Therefore, the operation for mounting the main body on the main body at an appropriate rotational phase position can be further simplified.

  A further characteristic configuration of the electric cooking device according to the present invention is provided with a fixing means for preventing rotation of the container relative to the main body and movement in the vertical direction with the container positioned by the positioning means. In the point.

According to the above characteristic configuration, since the container positioned by the positioning means can be prevented from rotating or moving in the vertical direction with respect to the main body by the fixing means, the container is mounted on the main body and the rotation driving means. When the is operating, it is possible to reliably prevent the container from being rotated or removed from the main body.
Therefore, in addition to simplification of the container mounting operation, the safety can be further improved.
