Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cotton candy manufacturing apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are a lot of toys for playing while the younger girls are mimicking their mothers and doing kitchen work and meals, among them mock experience toys that can actually enjoy cooking food safely. It was. Among the simulated experience toys, there was a cotton candy manufacturing device where you can make cotton candy with your own hands and enjoy parties with friends.
[0003]
The cotton candy manufacturing apparatus is composed of a base body serving as a base, a cotton candy manufacturing mechanism, a tray for receiving the manufactured cotton candy, and an electric circuit that controls the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism. The cotton candy manufacturing mechanism, which is arranged on the base body of the cotton candy manufacturing apparatus, dissolves the sugar that is heated and heated to a high temperature by a heater in a candy-like form and scatters it by pulling the thread from the surrounding slits by centrifugal force. A rotary hook that generates cotton candy, a heater having a temperature fuse that heats the rotary hook to a high temperature, and a motor that rotates the rotary hook. The electric circuit that controls the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism of the cotton candy manufacturing device prevents the motor power circuit that rotates the rotary hook, the temperature control circuit of the heater that heats the rotary hook to a high temperature, and the heater section from overheating accidents. It consists of a thermal fuse and a power switch that turns on and off the main power. Moreover, the rotary pot of the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism is metallic and rotates at high speed, and is heated by a heater to a high temperature. For this reason, a fat cover is provided as a safety measure tree to prevent young children from being injured by touching their hands or fingers when the guardian takes their eyes off. This cover also had the effect of making it easier to pour sugar into the rotary kettle.
[0004]
To use the cotton candy manufacturing equipment, first plug the product into an outlet and turn on the main power switch. When the power is turned on, the rotary hook starts to rotate and is heated by the heater. Preheat operation for a while, and after the temperature of the rotary kettle reaches the steady temperature, add sugar to the cotton candy one time with the measuring spoon attached to the inlet. If you forget to install the tray at this time, you need to be careful because cotton candy splatters around you, or if you still have hot sugar on your hands, you may burn yourself. After playing, turn it fully and turn it off after cotton candy is no longer produced. First, remove the plug from the power outlet to prevent it from operating accidentally, then cool the rotary hook and shaft sufficiently, disassemble the covers and trays, and clean them. Met.
[0005]
However, if a small child crys out without finding the tray, and the guardian makes a tantrum and activates the device as it is, cotton candy scatters around and stains the room, and brings his face close to the rotating kettle. If hot sugar candy sugar adheres to the skin, it will cause severe burns.
[0006]
Also, when the tray is detached while the device is installed, and the tray comes in contact with the rotary hook, the rotary hook locks and the fuse is blown by overcurrent, or a part of the tray is melted by the rotary hook and the melted resin is removed. If the molten resin splashes around and the molten resin adheres to the skin, it can cause serious burns.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. If the tray receiving cotton candy is not correctly and completely installed, a safety switch mechanism is provided so that the main power is not turned on. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cotton candy manufacturing apparatus that prevents the occurrence of candy.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the cotton candy manufacturing apparatus provided with a tray detachably attached to the main body, an auxiliary switch mechanism including a movable plate and a micro switch pivotally supported on one end by a shaft is provided in the tray of the manufacturing apparatus. The auxiliary switch contact must be closed as an auxiliary switch mechanism that closes the contact point when the movable plate depresses the actuator part of the micro switch by attaching the tray to the main body correctly at the bottom of the locking part. if, characterized by being configured so as not to power cycle by the main power switch.
[0009]
In the present invention, an auxiliary switch mechanism is provided in which the power cannot be turned on by the main power switch unless the tray is correctly attached to the apparatus main body. For example, if the tray is not installed or if the installation is insufficient, the main power switch will not turn on even if the main power switch is operated. It is possible to prevent accidents such as injury or removal of the tray during operation.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, an auxiliary switch that operates by mounting a tray on the main body is provided in the main body, and if the auxiliary switch is not closed, the apparatus is not turned on even if the main power switch is closed. Provided is a cotton candy manufacturing apparatus capable of reducing the risk of causing an accident such as a fire.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a removable tray 2 on a main body 1, a main power switch 3 for turning on / off the main power of the apparatus, and sugar which is an element of cotton candy. A temperature adjustment switch 4 is provided for adjusting the temperature of the heater that melts in the shape of a candy in the rotary hook.
[0012]
2 is a plan view showing a state where the tray 2 is removed in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. In each figure, only members necessary for explanation are shown, and unnecessary members are omitted. The auxiliary switch 5 according to the present invention is disposed below the locking portion 1a. The auxiliary switch 5 includes a micro switch 5a and a movable plate 5b disposed in the holding portion 1b. The movable plate 5b is a member for pressing down the actuator portion 5c of the microswitch 5a, and one end thereof is pivotally supported by a shaft 5d.
[0013]
With this configuration, when the tray is attached to the main body, the movable plate 5b is moved downward when the locking portion 2a provided on the tray side engages with the locking portion 1a on the main body side. 5 is activated.
[0014]
As described above, the present invention is configured, and even if the main power switch is activated by mistake, the apparatus is not turned on unless the auxiliary switch is activated. The effect of preventing accidents caused by the wrong way of playing can be enhanced as compared to a cotton candy manufacturing toy using only the power switch.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is implemented in the form as described above, and has the following effects.
[0016]
In the present invention, even if the main power switch is operated by mistake, if the tray is correctly installed and the auxiliary switch is not operated, the apparatus is not turned on and the apparatus may be operated. Therefore, it is possible to provide a safe cotton candy manufacturing apparatus with a low risk of causing an accident or fire due to wrong use.
