By operating a cam toggle lever lock device 33 (FIG. 4), the container 31 is rotated. An opening end of the main body 30 shown on the left side in FIG. 1 can be opened and closed. The container body 30 is not integrally formed by attaching a separately formed bottom member 30b to a separately formed body portion 30a, but is integrally formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape from the beginning. It may be something.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper part of the fixed container 27, more specifically, the upper left part of the body 30 a of the container body 30, in the thickness direction for supplying the food material to be processed into the fixed container 27. Is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the supply hole 34 is always closed by a supply-side closing cover 35. The supply-side closing lid 35 is rotatably supported on a supply-side closing lid driving shaft 36 rotatably supported on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 30 as shown in FIG. The supply hole 34 is opened and closed by the supply-side closing lid 35 by driving the supply-side actuator 37 (FIGS. 2 and 4) such as a reciprocating cylinder supported by the actuator and rotating the supply-side closing lid drive shaft 36. It has been made possible. The supply-side actuator 37 is driven at a predetermined timing based on a control command from control means (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 1, a plate for discharging food processed inside the fixed container 27 to the outside is provided at a lower portion of the fixed container 27, specifically, at a lower portion of the body 30 a of the container body 30. A discharge hole 38 penetrating in the thickness direction is formed. The discharge hole 38 is always closed by a discharge-side closing cover 39. As shown in FIG. 1, the discharge-side closing lid 39 is slid in a direction parallel to the central axis 28 of the fixed container 27 by a discharge-side actuator 40 such as a reciprocating cylinder supported by the gantry 29. By driving the discharge-side actuator 40 and sliding the discharge-side closing lid 39, the discharge hole 38 can be opened and closed by the discharge-side closing lid 39. The discharge-side actuator 40 is driven at a predetermined timing based on a control command from control means (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, inside the fixed container 27, foodstuffs supplied to the inside of the fixed container 27 for processing are crushed, cut, rubbed, agitated, mixed, blended, and emulsified. Alternatively, a rotating shaft 46 to which a processing tool 45 for kneading is detachably attached is rotatably provided. The rotating shaft 46 is arranged such that its rotating shaft center 47 is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the central shaft 28 of the fixed container 27 (FIG. 3), and is disposed at a position eccentric downward (FIG. 1). ).

That is, the rotation axis 47 of the rotation shaft 46 in the present embodiment is parallel to the central axis 28 of the fixed container 27 and shifted downward, and in the axial direction of the central axis 28 of the fixed container 27. It is disposed so as to be inclined with respect to.

The inclination angle θ between the rotation axis 47 of the rotation shaft 46 and the axial direction of the central axis 28 of the fixed container 27 is, for example, 1 to 15 degrees, preferably 1 to 10 degrees, and particularly preferably. 3-5 degrees. If it is smaller than this range, there is a tendency that it is not possible to obtain a sufficient force to move the food material supplied into the interior of the fixed container 27 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 46, while on the other hand larger than this range In such a case, there is a tendency that the rotating shaft 46 cannot be properly disposed inside the fixed container 27. That is, as the inclination angle θ increases, the length of the rotating shaft 46 provided inside the fixed container 27 increases, and the rotating shaft 46 and the processing tool 45 are arranged without interfering with the inner peripheral surface of the fixed container 27. The area where it can be set becomes smaller, and as a result, the processing efficiency of foodstuffs tends to decrease.

The rotating shaft 46 is driven to rotate by the driving forces of two rotating shaft driving motors 48 A and 48 B as driving means disposed on the gantry 29. One rotating shaft drive motor 48A is used when rotating the rotating shaft 46 in a high speed region, and the other rotating shaft drive motor 48B is used when rotating the rotating shaft 46 in a low speed region.

Then, the V-belts 52A, 52B applied between the driving V-belt pulleys 50A, 50B and the driven V-belt pulleys 51A, 51B cause the rotational motion of the rotary shaft drive motors 48A, 48B to the drive shaft 49. The rotation of the drive shaft 49 is transmitted to the rotation shaft 46. Each of the rotary shaft drive motors 48A and 48B is driven based on a control command sent from control means (not shown).

It should be noted that a clutch (not shown) for interrupting the driving force of each of the rotary shaft drive motors 48A, 48B is provided between the output shaft of each of the rotary shaft drive motors 48A, 48B and the drive shaft 49. When the rotating shaft drive motor 48A is driven, the driving force of the rotating shaft drive motor 48A is prevented from being transmitted to the rotating shaft drive motor 48B, and when the rotating shaft drive motor 48B is driven. In this configuration, it is possible to prevent the driving force of the rotating shaft drive motor 48B from being transmitted to the rotating shaft drive motor 48A.

Further, the rotation shaft 46 may be driven by one control motor (not shown). In this case, the output shaft of the control motor may be directly connected to the base end of the rotating shaft 46.

The food supply means 70 includes, for example, a lift mechanism (not shown) that lifts a container such as a basket or a container (not shown) having an open top that stores food to be processed, and a container that lifts the container upward. And an inclining mechanism (not shown) for inclining the food, so that the foodstuff stored in the container can be sent out toward the supply hole 34 in an open state.

Further, at least a portion of the food processing apparatus 26 of the present embodiment that comes into contact with food is made of a material such as stainless steel or resin that is safe for food hygiene.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

Prior to the operation of the food processing device 26 of the present embodiment, the processing tool 45 of the food processing device 26 is used to crush, cut, rub, agitate, and process the type and nature of the food material and the processing purpose, for example, the food material to be processed. Exchange according to the state of processing such as mixing, blending, emulsification or kneading. This replacement operation is performed when a processing tool 45 suitable for processing food is attached to the rotating shaft 46 in advance, and when the food processing apparatus 26 is a dedicated machine used only for processing a specific food. Need not be executed. In order to replace the processing tool 45, the cam toggle lever locking device 33 is released and loosened, and then the vertical axis 32 is moved in the direction in which the cam toggle lever locking device 33 side of the lid member 31 is separated from the container body 30. To open the closed state of the opening end of the container body 30 by the lid member 31. Then, in this state, the operator removes the processing tool 45 not used for processing from the rotating shaft 46 from the opening end side of the container main body 30 (left side in FIG. 1), and rotates the processing tool 45 used for processing. The processing tool 45 is exchanged by executing the work of attaching to the processing tool 45. When the replacement of the processing tool 45 is completed, the opening end of the container body 30 is closed with the lid member 31 by a procedure reverse to the opening operation, thereby completing the replacement operation of the processing tool 45.

When the supply hole 34 is opened, the container storing the food material to be processed mounted on the food material supply device 60 is lifted upward, and the container is tilted to supply the food material stored in the container in the open state. The liquid is supplied into the fixed container 27 through the hole 34. Then, after the supply of the food material is completed, the supply-side closing lid 35 is closed, and the fixed container 27 is closed.

Next, when a start switch provided on the control panel 60 is operated, a control command is sent from control means (not shown) to the rotating shaft drive motors 48A and 48B and the blade drive motor 57, and the rotating shaft 46 and the blade support member are transmitted. The rotation of 56 starts to process the food material supplied into the fixed container 27. At this time, the driving force transmitted to the rotating shaft 46, that is, the rotation speed of the processing tool 45, depends on the type of food material, the amount of food material supplied to the fixed container 27, the processing state (type of processed product), and the like. The driving force of each of the rotating shaft drive motors 48A and 48B transmitted to the shaft 49 is controlled by operating a clutch (not shown) to switch the driving force.

Then, by the rotation of the rotation shaft 46, the processing tool 45 attached to the rotation shaft 46 rotates about the rotation axis 47 of the rotation shaft 46, and the food is rotated in a direction orthogonal to the rotation shaft 46 and the rotation. Pulverization, cutting, friction, stirring, mixing, blending, emulsification or kneading while moving easily and smoothly in two directions, that is, the direction parallel to the axis of the shaft 46. Further, by the rotation of the blade support member 56, the blade 55 attached to the blade support member 56 keeps its longitudinal direction along the central axis 58 of the fixed container 27 and enters the inside of the fixed container 27.
