Description

  The present invention relates to a vegetable spiral cutting cooking utensil for cutting vegetables in a spiral shape.

Traditionally, the so-called tornado potato (trade name), which has been cut in a spiral shape at a festival venue or a tourist spot, and then fried after being skewered, is a popular product for children and women.
The spiral cutter of this tornado potato is equipped with a feed mechanism that holds the potato and advances it in the axial direction while rotating the potato around the axis, and a cutter disposed obliquely with respect to the traveling direction of the potato, It was cut in a spiral with a cutter while feeding potatoes.
However, the basic technique such as the spiral cutter is a known technique already known in other fields (see Patent Document 1).

Consists of.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 15 denotes a main body base, 16 denotes an outer cover, 17 denotes a coil spring base, 18 denotes a cutting mark, 19 denotes a lid lock guide, and 20 denotes a service hole for taking out when the guide needle is broken.

The casing 3 is a stainless steel cylindrical body that is longer than the vegetable and is formed so that the spiral specially shaped blade 7 can move up and down in the casing 3. One cutting mark 9 is provided on the side surface of the casing 3, and two lid lock guides 19 are provided on the upper end of the opening.
The coil spring 4 has a lower end supported by a coil spring pedestal 17 fixed to the main body pedestal 1 and is helically arranged to a height of 2/3 inside the casing 3 when extended, and the upper end is guided to a tool post with guide. 6 to support. The coil spring 4 is pushed down and compressed by the vegetables skewered on the center line by the guide needle 12, and the rotating vegetables are extended by being spirally cut by the spiral special shape blade 7.

The inner chute 5 is a flanged cylindrical body made of PVC pipe, and is arranged concentrically with the casing 3 inside the coil spring 4 and is moved up and down together with the tool post 6 with guide. The spiral vegetable after the cutting is located inside the internal chute 5, and the internal chute 5 protects the vegetable from being damaged by contacting the coil spring 4.
The spiral special shape blade 7 is made of stainless steel, and the thickness of the cutting vegetables is changed according to the angle of the spiral. Therefore, the spiral special shape blade 7 having different angles is fixed to the tool post 6 with a guide in an exchangeable manner.

The lid 8 closes the opening of the casing 3 and is fixed by lid lock guides 19 at two upper ends of the opening of the casing 3.
The rotating shaft 10 is vertically supported by a central portion of the lid 8 via a ball bearing 9 so as to be rotatable. The guide needle 12 is inserted into a central hole of the rotating shaft 10, and the guide needle is inserted from the side surface of the rotating shaft 10. A lock bolt 11 is inserted to lock the guide needle 12.
The guide needle 12 is a tungsten carbide needle made of cemented carbide and has a length that matches the size of the vegetable. When the guide needle 12 is damaged and replaced, the lock of the guide needle lock bolt 11 is released, a pin is inserted from the service hole 20 for taking out when the guide needle is broken formed in the upper part of the center hole, and the guide needle 12 is pushed out. .
Since the rotating shaft 10 is rotated at a high speed, the vegetable rotation stop needles 13 are arranged at four positions on the lower surface of the rotating shaft 10 in order to stably fix the vegetables. Further, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, a non-cutting discharge plate 21 through which the vegetable detent needle 13 enters and exits is provided, and the non-cutting discharge plate 21 is pushed out by a coil spring 22 so that the vegetable detent stop needle 13 is always retracted. To form.
The hexagon nut 14 is fixed to the tip of the rotary shaft 10 and is fitted with an electric rotary tool (not shown) to rotate at high speed.

Next, the operation of the vegetable spiral cutting cooking utensil of the present invention will be described below based on the attached drawings.
A water tank (not shown) is disposed below the main body pedestal 15, and the cutter mechanism 1 is disposed so that the vegetables that have been spiral-cut fall into the water tank. On the other hand, the guide needle 12 of the support rotation mechanism 2 is stabbed along the vertical axis of the vegetable (potato is illustrated by a dotted line in FIG. 1), and inserted into the back as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 21 is pushed up and stabbed with the vegetable surrounding stop needle 13 to fix the potato.

When the pierced potato shown in FIG. 1 is pushed into the casing 3, the coil spring 4 is pressed by the potato and the coil spring 4 is compressed. At the same time, the spiral special shape blade 7 is lowered. Fix to the lock guide 10.
Next, when an electric rotary tool (not shown) is fitted to the hex nut 14 and rotated at a high speed, the potato rotates at a high speed, and the spiral special shape blade 7 is smooth as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. The potato is cut into a spiral shape by the spiral shape of the upper blade 23 and the lower blade 24. As the cutting progresses, the spiral special shape blade 7 rises and the cut potato is located on the inner chute 5 side.

During high-speed cutting of the potato, surface tension is generated by the moisture from the cut surface of the potato, and the adhesiveness between the spiral special shape blade 7 and the potato and between the potato and the potato increases and does not fall apart and does not fall on the guide needle 12. Can stay.
After cutting, the portions where the potatoes are cut in a spiral shape are connected and naturally fall off from the guide needle 12 while remaining in the original lump shape. At that time, they pass through the internal chute 5 and fall into the water tank without hitting the coil spring 4 . At the end of cutting, as shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. 5, the uncut discharge plate 21 is pushed down by the elastic force of the coil spring 22 of the rotating shaft 10, and the potato uncut portion of the uncut discharge plate 21 is removed when the lid 8 is removed. Is removed from the vegetable-carrying stop needle 13 and the residue removal becomes smooth.

In this way, the potato rotates at a high speed at a fixed position, and the spiral special shape blade 7 rises and cuts in a spiral shape, so that a large amount of tornado potatoes can be stably produced in a short time.
The potato cut in this way can be made into a tornado potato (trade name) by piercing the skewer along the vertical axis while expanding the spiral interval and frying the spiral potato skewer.
In addition, although demonstrated with the example of the tornado potato (brand name), it can cut in a spiral shape similarly with another vegetable.
