Reference numeral 38 in the figure denotes a power cord connected to the circuit of the electric motor 7 of the main body 1.

The operation of the thus configured ice crusher will be described.

When actually crushing ice blocks, the ice blocks are set in the case 2 on the main body 1. In this case, the case 2 is placed on the upper end of the main body 1, and the claw 23 is positioned in the cutout 16 of the main body 1. Then, the case 2 is rotated to move the claw 23 into the notch 16 of the main body 1 and inside the retaining piece 17. At this time,
The recess 23 a of the claw 23 engages with the projection 18 of the notch 16. As a result, the case 2 is fixed to the main body 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions and does not come off. In this state,
The rotation shaft 10 of the main body 1 is located in the hole 22 of the inner cylindrical portion of the case 2. Then, with the rotation of the case 3, the operating rod support 25
Moves to a position just above the opening of the operation transmitting member support portion 14 at the upper end of the main body. For this reason, the lower end of the switch operating rod 26 supported by the operating rod support 25 of the case 2 is
Operation transmitting member 1 supported by the operation transmitting member supporting portion 14 of FIG.
3 hits the upper end.

The crushed body 30 is disposed on the inner cylindrical portion 20 of the case 2, and the shaft fixing portion 31 a of the disk 31 is fixed to the rotating shaft 10. Further, the charging case 3 is fitted inside the case 2. The input case 3 has a flange 3a formed by the ribs 24 of the case 2.
Butted against the upper end of the In this case, the flange 3
The notch 36a is fitted into the operating rod support 25 of the case 2 to perform positioning and rotation prevention on the input case 3.

The ice block is thrown into the charging case 3 through the opening 34 a of the cap 34 of the charging case 3.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
Fits into the upper opening. In this case, the lower edge of the lid 4 is inserted into the gap formed between the upper edge of the case 2 and the upper edge of the charging case 3, and the rib 3 of the flange 3 a of the charging case 3 is inserted.
5 is supported. In addition, a part of the lower edge of the lid 4 inserted between the upper edge of the case 2 and the upper edge of the charging case 3 hits the upper end of the switch operating rod 26 located at the upper end opening of the operating rod support 25.

Then, the user presses the lid 4 by hand from above and applies a force downward. Then, the lid 4 is pushed as shown in FIG.
5, the switch operating rod 26 supported by the coil spring 15,
Press down against the spring force of 28. Switch operating rod 26
Moves downward (in a direction approaching the switch 11), the lower end (switch-side end) of the main body 1 directs the upper end of the operation transmission member 13 supported by the operation transmission member support portion 14 downward. Press. When the operation transmitting member 13 moves downward, the operator of the switch 11 is pressed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 14, the lower end of the switch operating rod 26 enters and engages with a detent member 39 formed on the upper end surface of the main body 1. For this reason, when a force is applied to the case 2 in a direction to remove it from the main body 1, the case 2 tends to move in a direction to separate from the main body 1, and the switch operating bar 26 provided in the case 2 also moves in the same direction. However, the lower end of the switch actuation rod 26 hits the wall of the rotation preventing member 39 provided on the main body 1 and is prevented from moving. Therefore, unnecessary rotation of the case 2 in the direction in which the case 2 comes off the main body 1 is prevented. Therefore, when the case 2 is fixed to the main body 1 and the electric motor 7 is driven, even if a force is applied to the case 2 in a direction in which the case 2 is detached from the main body 1, the case 2 may come off from the main body 1, The crushed body 30
Can be prevented from coming off from the connection with the electric motor 7.

Then, the switch 11 is turned on, and accordingly, the electric motor 7 is driven to rotate and the rotating shaft 10 is rotated. Accordingly, the disk 31 of the crushed body 30 fixed to the rotating shaft 10 rotates. The blade 32 rotates together with the disk 31, and the long blade 32 a and the short blade 32 b crush the ice block inside the charging case 3 to form ice pieces. The ice pieces are discharged from the gap between the lower end of the charging case 3 and the upper surface of the disk 31 by the rotation of the disk 31. The size of the ice piece is determined by the size of the gap between the lower end of the charging case 3 and the upper surface of the disk 31. The released ice chips are sent out from the lower surface of the disk 31 and the lower end of the inner cylinder 20 of the case 2 to the ice chip extraction passage 5 by the wings 40 on the lower surface of the disk 31, and are directly transferred to the ice chip extraction passage 5. Will be sent out.

Here, when the lid 4 is pressed by hand to operate the switch 11, the flange 3a of the charging case 3 is held between the lower end of the lid 4 and the rib 24 of the case 2, and the charging case 3 is vertically moved. Since it is fixed so as not to move, the size of the gap between the lower end of the charging case 3 and the upper surface of the disk 31 is kept constant, and the size of the obtained ice chips can be kept constant.

The obtained ice pieces pass through the ice piece take-out passage body 5, hit the inner surface of the ice piece discharge opening body 6, change their direction, attenuate the speed, and are discharged from the lower end opening. As shown in FIG. 17, an ice piece receiving tray 53 is placed below the lower end opening of the ice piece discharging port body 6 to receive the discharged ice pieces.

When the formation of the ice pieces is continued, the ice pieces adhere to the inner surface of the ice piece discharge port body 6 and grow. Therefore,
The scraper 51 is rotated by the knob 52 to remove the ice chips attached to the inner surface of the ice chip discharge port body 6.

In this embodiment, the operation transmitting member 13 provided on the main body 1 has an inclined surface 1 as shown in FIGS.
3c, a vertical surface 13d, and a side plate 13e. As a result, water drops from the ice pieces in the case 2 that have melted fall on the upper end surface of the main body 1, and the water drops are further discharged from the opening of the operation transmission member supporting portion 14 to the rod-shaped portion 1 of the operation transmission member 13.
Even if the water flows to the switch 3a, it is possible to prevent the water droplet from dropping on the switch 11. That is, the rod portion 13a
Is prevented from flowing toward the switch 11 by the inclined surface 13c, and is changed to a direction to avoid the switch 11. Then, the water droplet is bent to the bottom of the main body 1 along the vertical surface 13d. In addition, the water drop is inclined 13c.
Also, when flowing through the vertical surface 13d, the side plate 14e prevents the water from flowing out from the side of each surface and falling to the switch 11. Therefore, the switch 11 is not damaged by the water droplet.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be implemented with various modifications.

For example, the detent member is not limited to the ridge shape of the embodiment, and may be formed by making a hole in the upper end of the main body 1 and further providing a plate material forming a step at the upper end of the main body 1. Such a configuration may be adopted. The detent member may be formed integrally with the main body, or a separate member may be fixed.

Further, the case is not limited to the type in which the case is rotated and fixed with respect to the main body, but may be the type in which the case is linearly moved and fixed.

[0048]

As described above, according to the ice crusher of the present invention, when the switch operating member provided in the case is brought into contact with the switch on the main body provided with the electric motor and the switch to turn on the switch, Since a rotation preventing member is provided for preventing the movement of the switch operating member in a direction in which the case is disengaged from the main body when the switch operating member is engaged, the user presses the lid over the case to move the switch operating member and move the switch. Is operated to drive the electric motor, the combination of the switch operating member and the detent member prevents the case from moving in the direction away from the main body. Therefore, when the case is fixed to the main body and the motor is driven, even if a force is applied to the case in a direction to remove the case from the main body, the case is detached from the main body, and the crushed body is connected to the motor. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of an accident of coming off the part.
