The large hole 41 and the small hole 42 communicate with each other. The concave portion 36 of the leg placement portion 34 opens upward through a dharma hole 43.

  The outer diameter dimension of the large diameter lower portion 16b is slightly smaller than the opening diameter dimension of the large hole 41 and larger than the opening diameter dimension of the small hole 42. On the other hand, the outer diameter size of the small-diameter upper portion 16a is smaller than the respective opening diameter sizes of the large hole 41 and the small hole. For example, the outer diameter dimension of the small-diameter upper portion 16a and the opening diameter dimension of the small hole 42 may be made substantially the same so that the small-diameter upper portion 16a fits into the small hole 42.

  In addition, a through hole 44 having a circular shape in plan view is formed through the upper and lower surfaces in the central portion of the leg engaging portion 35, and the drive shaft portion 51 of the drive means 32 is rotatable at the central position of the through hole 44. It is arranged.

  On the other hand, the leg engaging part 35 is, for example, a metal stopper plate 46 and an elastically deformable elastic plate placed horizontally on the horizontal upper surface of the stopper plate 46 so as to cover the entire upper surface. It is composed of a rubber plate 47. The stopper plate 46 is provided with a horizontal main body plate portion 46a that supports the lower surface of the rubber plate 47 from below, and is bent upward at the end portion of the main body plate portion 46a so as to support the end surface of the rubber plate 47.

When is added, it moves slightly in the horizontal direction with respect to the leg placement portion 34. That is, for example, a screw hole portion is formed in the leg placement portion 34, a screw insertion hole is formed in each of the stopper plate 46 and the rubber plate 47, and a screw 48 is inserted into the screw insertion hole and screwed into the screw hole portion. As a result, the stopper plate 46 and the rubber plate 47 are attached to the leg placement portion 34. Therefore, each of the stopper plate 46 and the rubber plate 47 is movable in the horizontal direction with respect to the leg placement portion 34 by a gap (a little amount) between the screw 48 and the screw insertion hole.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the drive means 32 includes a vertical drive shaft portion 51 supported on the upper portion of the apparatus body 31 so as to be rotatable about a vertical rotation center axis B, and the drive shaft portion. And a motor 52 that is a drive source that rotates the shaft 51 in a predetermined direction about the rotation center axis B.

  A connection shaft portion 54 is formed at the upper end portion of the drive shaft portion 51 so as to be removably fitted into the connection port portion 24 of the drive shaft connection portion 23 of the agitator 6. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting shaft portion 54 is a polygonal shape that fits into the connecting port portion 24, for example, a quadrangular shape.

  When the connecting shaft portion 54 of the driving shaft portion 51 of the driving means 32 is fitted into the connecting port portion 24 of the driving shaft connecting portion 23 of the stirrer 6, the rotation center axis A of the rotating shaft portion 21 of the stirrer 6 is obtained. And the rotation center axis B of the drive shaft portion 51 of the drive means 32 coincide with each other, and the axis of the rotation shaft portion 21 and the axis of the drive shaft portion 51 are positioned coaxially.

  At this time, even if the shaft centers of both shaft portions 21 and 51 are displaced, the leg engaging portion 35 is slightly moved with respect to the leg mounting portion 34 and the drive shaft connecting portion 23 is a universal joint. Therefore, the shaft cores of both the shaft portions 21 and 51 are located on the same axis, and the drive shaft connection portion 23 and the drive shaft portion 51 are in an appropriate connection state capable of transmitting power.

  Further, the main body 3 is detected when the stirring body 6 is agitated by the detection means (detection sensor) 56 for detecting the detected means 20 when the container body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31. A control means 57 for stopping the driving of the motor 52 of the driving means 32 when the means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20, and an operating means 58 operated by the user.

  The control means 57 is electrically connected to a motor 52, a detection means 56, an operation means 58, and the like. The control means 57 controls the motor 52 based on signals from the detection means 56 and the operation means 58. The operation means 58 has a plurality of operation buttons 59 arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the front surface of the main body case portion 33 of the apparatus main body 31.

  The detection means 56 is composed of, for example, a photoelectric sensor, and is housed and disposed in a sensor box 61 attached to the upper rear portion of the main body case portion 33 of the apparatus main body 31. The sensor box 61 has a circular opening 62 that opens toward the front, and the opening 62 exposes a front surface portion that is a part of the detection means 56.

  The detection means 56 detects the detected means 20 in a non-contact manner by emitting detection light forward and receiving reflected light from the detected means 20.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the state in which the container body 5 is attached to the apparatus body 31 is released (the container body 5 placed on the apparatus body 31 is moved up relative to the apparatus body 31. In the state where the detection unit 56 is in a position capable of being detected), the protruding portion 19 which is the detected unit 20 is shifted from the opposed position (front position) of the front surface portion of the detection unit 56, so that the detection unit 56 does not detect the detected unit 20 .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31 (the container main body 5 placed on the apparatus main body 31 is moved upward relative to the apparatus main body 31). In the state where the detection means 20 cannot be performed), the protruding portion 19 that is the detected means 20 is positioned at the position (front position) of the front face of the detection means 56, and as a result, the detection means 56 detects the detected means 20.

  Next, the operation and the like of the mixer device 1 will be described.

  In using the mixer device 1, when attaching the container body 5 of the container unit 2 to the device body 31 of the body unit 3, the user moves the container body 5 downward with respect to the device body 31 while standing. Then, the container body 5 in the mounted state is rotated horizontally by a predetermined amount in a mounting direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 3) in one direction while maintaining a standing posture around the axis of the rotary shaft 21. Move.

  Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the container body 5 is moved downward with respect to the apparatus body 31, whereby the large-diameter lower side portion 16 b of the leg portion 16 is moved to the leg engaging portion 35. It is placed in the recess 36 through the large hole 41 and placed on the leg placement surface 37.

  Then, the lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is placed on the leg placing surface 37, and the lower surface of the base portion 11 is placed on the upper surface of the rubber plate 47 of the leg engaging portion 35, and The small-diameter upper portion 16a of the leg portion 16 is located at the center of the large hole 41. Further, the connecting shaft portion 54 of the driving shaft portion 51 of the driving means 32 is fitted into the connecting port portion 24 of the driving shaft connecting portion 23 of the stirrer 6, and the shaft core of the rotating shaft portion 21 and the shaft core of the driving shaft portion 51 are connected. Is located on the same axis, and the drive shaft connecting portion 23 and the drive shaft portion 51 are in an appropriate connection state capable of transmitting power.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the container body 5 is moved in one direction with respect to the apparatus body 31 until the small-diameter upper portion 16 a of the leg portion 16 abuts the edge of the small hole 42 in the leg engaging portion 35. The lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is slid along the leg placement surface 37 and the lower surface of the base portion 11 is moved along the upper surface of the rubber plate 47. And slide.

  Then, the large diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 slides and moves on the leg placement surface 37 from a position where the leg engaging portion 35 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging portion 35, A part of the leg engaging portion 35 (a sandwiched portion of the leg engaging portion 35 facing the small hole 42) is vertically moved between the lower surface of the base portion 11 and the upper surface of the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16. As a result, the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31. At this time, the rubber plate 47 of the leg engaging portion 35 is slightly compressed and elastically deformed so that the container main body 5 does not rattle against the apparatus main body 31 due to the elastic restoring force of the rubber plate 47.

  When the container main body 5 is attached, the upward movement of the container main body 5 relative to the apparatus main body 31 is restricted by the engagement of a part of the leg engaging portion 35 and the large diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16. Is done. For this reason, unless the container main body 5 is rotated by a predetermined amount in the horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus main body 31, the attachment state of the container main body 5 to the apparatus main body 31 is maintained. In other words, the container body 5 does not move upward from the apparatus body 31 unless the placed container body 5 rotates horizontally by a predetermined amount with respect to the apparatus body 31.

  In addition, when the container body 5 is attached, one of the two protrusions 19 constituting the detected means 20 is located at a position opposite to the detecting means 56, so that the detecting means 56 is detected. Is detected, and the mixer apparatus 1 is in an operable state.

  For this reason, the control means 57 drives and controls the motor 52 when the operation button 59 for starting the operation of the operation means 58 is operated by the user while the detection means 56 detects the detected means 20.

  When the drive shaft 51 is rotated by driving the motor 52, the stirring body 6 is rotated together with the drive shaft 51, and the stirring object in the container body 5 is crushed and stirred by the rotation of the stirring body 6.

  Here, when the agitated object in the container body 5 is being stirred by the stirring body 6 as described above, when the container body 5 is rotated by a predetermined amount in the horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus body 31, the apparatus The attachment state of the container main body 5 to the main body 31 is released, and the container main body 5 enters a state in which the container main body 5 can be moved upward relative to the apparatus main body 31, and the driving of the motor 52 of the driving means 32 is automatically stopped.

  That is, when the detected means 20 that has been opposed to the detecting means 56 deviates from the position where the detected means 56 is opposed, and the detecting means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20, the control means 57 Stop driving. When the driving of the motor 52 is stopped in this way, the stirring member 6 stops.

  For this reason, for example, when the user mistakenly removes the container body 5 from the apparatus body 31 while the stirring body 6 is being stirred, the container body 5 is rotated a predetermined amount in the other direction. Then, the driving of the motor 52 is automatically stopped, and the agitator 6 is stopped.

  On the other hand, when the container main body 5 of the container section 2 is removed from the apparatus main body 31 of the main body section 3 after the stirring work is completed, the user operates the operation button 59 for stopping the work to stop the stirring body 6. After that, the container body 5 is horizontally rotated by a predetermined amount in the removal direction (clockwise in FIG. 3), which is the other direction, with respect to the apparatus body 31 while maintaining the standing posture around the axis of the rotary shaft 21. After that, the container main body 5 is moved up with respect to the apparatus main body 31 in a standing posture and separated from the apparatus main body 31.

  Specifically, first, until the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 hits the side surface of the concave portion 36, that is, until the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 and the large hole 41 coincide with each other in plan view, By horizontally rotating the container body 5 by a predetermined amount in the other direction with respect to the apparatus body 31, the lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is slid along the leg placement surface 37, and the base The lower surface of the part 11 is slid along the upper surface of the rubber plate 47.

  Then, the large-diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 slides on the leg placement surface 37 from a position where it can engage with the leg engaging portion 35 to a position where it cannot engage with the leg engaging portion 35, The holding of the leg engaging portion 35 by the lower surface of the base portion 11 and the upper surface of the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is released. As a result, the attachment state of the container body 5 is released, and the container body 5 is allowed to move upward relative to the apparatus body 31.

  Subsequently, the container main body 5 is moved upward with respect to the apparatus main body 31 so that the large-diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is taken out above the concave portion 36 through the large hole 41 of the leg engaging portion 35. Thus, the connection between the drive shaft connecting portion 23 and the drive shaft portion 51 is released, and the container body 5 is removed from the apparatus body 31 upward.

  According to such a mixer device 1, when the container body 5 is attached to the apparatus body 31, the container body 5 is attached as long as the container body 5 does not rotate a predetermined amount with respect to the apparatus body 31. Therefore, the container body 5 can be prevented from being inadvertently detached from the apparatus body 31.

  Therefore, for example, even when the agitated body 6 is agitated by the agitator 6 and the center of gravity is shifted due to some deviation of the agitated object in the container body 5 and vibration (fine vibration) is generated in the container body 5, If the shift is immediately cured, the set container body 5 is not detached from the apparatus body 31, and the attachment state of the container body 5 can be appropriately maintained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the working environment from deteriorating due to the fall of the container main body 5 and to prevent the working environment from deteriorating, and it is possible to ensure the safety for the operator who is the user.

  Further, when the stirring body 6 is stirring, for example, the deviation of the object to be stirred in the container body 5 is not immediately cured, and the vibration of the container body 5 continues with the center of gravity shifted, When the container body 5 deviates from the apparatus body 31 and rotates by a predetermined amount, the drive of the drive means 32 is automatically stopped, so that safety can be appropriately ensured.

  Further, when the detection means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20 due to the rotation of the container main body 5 with respect to the apparatus main body 31, the control means 57 stops the drive of the drive means 32, so that the safety is further improved. It can be secured.

  The detected means 20 is composed of a pair of front and rear projecting portions 19 projecting from the container main body 5, and the container main body 5 has a front-rear symmetrical configuration. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry about the front and rear direction of the container body 5, and the attachment work is easy.

  Further, the leg 16 is pivoted in one direction relative to the apparatus main body 31 so that the leg 16 is placed from the position where the leg 16 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 to the position where the leg engaging part 35 can be engaged. The leg 16 is slidably moved on the surface 37, and the leg 16 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 from the position where the leg 16 can be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 by rotating in the other direction of the container main body 5 with respect to the apparatus main body 31. Since the leg 16 is slidably moved on the leg mounting surface 37 to a certain position, the container body 5 is moved to the position where the leg engaging part 35 can be engaged with the container main body 5. It is possible to appropriately prevent accidental disconnection.

  Further, since the leg engaging portion 35 is attached to the upper surface of the leg placing portion 34 so as to be slightly movable with respect to the leg placing portion 34, the agitation is performed when the container body 5 is attached to the apparatus body 31. Even if the container body 5 vibrates during agitation, the container body 5 can be moved even if the container body 5 vibrates during agitation by causing a deviation between the rotation center axis A of the rotation shaft portion 21 of the body 6 and the rotation center axis B of the drive shaft portion 51 of the drive means 32. The container main body 5 can be stopped from vibrating by slightly moving with respect to the leg mounting part 34 together with the leg engaging part 35 to correct the deviation of both rotation center axes.

  In addition, a to-be-stirred thing is not limited to solid substances, such as a foodstuff, A liquid etc. may be sufficient, and the mixer apparatus 1 may be for household use.
