【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
然るに、上記従来の構成では、吐出口はケース３の下底部に形成されており分離することができず、前記吐出口を容易に洗浄することができなかった。
【０００５】
本発明は前記問題点に鑑み、吐出部材と容器基台とを着脱自在とし、洗浄性を向上させた電動調理器を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明の電動調理器は、モータを内蔵した本体と、前記本体上に取り付けられかつ前記モータにより回転駆動するカッターを有する容器基台と、前記容器基台上に取り付けられた容器と、前記容器内の被調理材料を外部に排出するための吐出通路とフランジ部を有する吐出部材と、前記容器基台に形成され雄ねじを有する固定部と、前記雄ねじに取り付けることにより前記吐出部材と前記容器基台とを結合する締結用ナットとを備え、前記締結用ナットは、前記フランジ部の外径より径大な内径をもつフランジと、雌ねじ形成部と、内径が前記フランジ部の外径より径小で、前記雌ねじ形成部の内側に取り付けられ前記フランジにより固定されるフランジ固定部材から構成し、前記吐出部材を簡単に取り外し洗浄することを可能にした。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、モータを内蔵した本体と、前記本体上に取り付けられかつ前記モータにより回転駆動するカッターを有する容器基台と、前記容器基台上に取り付けられた容器と、前記容器内の被調理材料を外部に排出するための吐出通路とフランジ部を有する吐出部材と、前記容器基台に形成され雄ねじを有する固定部と、前記雄ねじに取り付けることにより前記吐出部材と前記容器基台とを結合する締結用ナットとを備え、前記締結用ナットは、前記フランジ部の外径より径大な内径をもつフランジと、雌ねじ形成部と、内径が前記フランジ部の外径より径小で、前記雌ねじ形成部の内側に取り付けられ前記フランジにより固定されるフランジ固定部材から構成したものであり、前記吐出部材と前記容器基台とが簡単に分離できるため洗浄が容易である。
【０００８】
また、フランジ固定部材の一箇所に切断部を設けたものであり、フランジ固定部材の切断部を押し広げることにより吐出部材の外周部に装着し前記吐出部材と容器基台とを簡単に結合することができるとともに簡単に着脱することができる。
【０００９】
また、フランジ固定部材の軸方向の厚みと同じまたは幅の広い溝部を吐出部材の外周部に設けたものであり、前記溝部で前記フランジ固定部材を前記吐出部材の外周部に装着する場合、前記フランジ固定部材の切断部の広がりを小さくすることができるため前記フランジ固定部材の疲労を抑えることができる。
【００１０】
また、フランジ固定部材の一箇所に切断部を設け、前記フランジ固定部材の内周または外周の、前記切断部に対向する１箇所または間隔をあけながら配置される複数箇所に前記フランジ固定部材の径方向の厚みが他の部分より小さい薄肉部を設けたものであり、前記フランジ固定部材を吐出部材の外周部に装着する際に、前記フランジ固定部材が薄肉部で変形し切断部が開きやすくなるため簡単に着脱することができる。
【００１１】
また、フランジ固定部材をスプリング座金形状に形成したものであり、前記フランジ固定部材を吐出部材の外周部に装着する際に、前記フランジ固定部材が径方向および軸方向に変形し開口距離が大きくなるため簡単に着脱することができる。
【００１２】
また、フランジ固定部材を渦巻き形状に形成したものであり、前記フランジ固定部材を吐出部材の外周部に装着する際に、回転させながら装着し径方向および軸方向に大きく変形するため、簡単に着脱することができる。
【００１３】
また、フランジ固定部材の外周と雌ねじ形成部の内周底部のそれぞれに多角形部を形成し、フランジ固定部材の外周に形成された多角形部と雌ねじ形成部の内周底部に形成された多角形部とが結合するように構成したものであり、前記結合により前記雌ねじ形成部と前記フランジ固定部材との間で滑り止めの効果が得られ強く固定することができる。
【００１４】
また、モータを内蔵した本体と、前記本体上に取り付けられかつ前記モータにより回転駆動するカッターを有する容器基台と、前記容器基台上に取り付けられた容器と、前記容器内の被調理材料を外部に排出するための吐出通路を有する吐出部材と、前記容器基台に形成され雄ねじを有する固定部と、前記雄ねじに取り付けることにより前記吐出部材と前記容器基台とを結合すると共に外周に多角形部を形成した締結用ナットと、前記吐出部材と前記容器基台との結合部を覆うと共に前記多角形部に結合する凸状のリブが内面に形成されたカバーとを備えたものであり、前記吐出部材と前記容器基台との結合部を保護することで汚れなどの付着を防ぐことができる。
【００１５】
また、前記締結用ナットの着脱時にカバーを用いて小さな力で着脱を行うことができる。
【００１６】
【実施例】
（参考例１）
以下、参考例について図面を用いて説明する。図１および図２において電動調理器は、本体２１に内蔵されたモータ２２によりカップリング２４およびカップリング２５を通して回転駆動されるカッター２６を容器基台２３および容器本体２８より成る容器４７内に有し、前記容器基台２３の側面には前記カッター２６により切削、攪拌された被調理材料３１を容器４７内より外部に排出する吐出部材３２を有する。
【００１７】
前記容器本体２８はねじ２９により前記容器基台２３上に着脱自在に取り付けられて前記容器４７を構成している。前記容器本体２８と前記容器基台２３の間には被調理材料３１が洩れないように弾性体よりなるパッキン３０が取り付けてある。前記容器本体２８の内周には攪拌が効果的に行われるために複数のリブが設けられており、上部には蓋４５が取り付けられ閉塞されている。
【００１８】
前記容器４７は前記本体２１上に着脱自在に取り付けられており、前記モータ２２の軸に取り付けられたカップリング２４と、前記カッター２６の軸に取り付けられたカップリング２５とは互いに噛み合うように構成され、その構成により前記容器４７と前記本体２１は任意に取り外すことができる。前記カップリング２４および前記カップリング２５の噛み合いにより前記カッター２６に前記モータ２２の力は伝達され前記カッター２６は回転駆動する。
【００１９】
前記吐出部材３２に形成されたフランジ部３７と前記容器基台２３に形成されたフランジである固定部３９とが結合し、その結合により前記容器基台２３と前記吐出部材３２とが結合している。前記フランジ部３７と前記固定部３９との結合は弾性材より成るクリップ状の固定部材４０により上部から固定されている。
【００２０】
また、前記吐出部材３２はカバー４１で覆われており、前記カバー４１は、前記カバー４１の一端に設けられたリブ４２と前記容器基台２３の固定部３９に設けられた凹部４６との結合および、前記カバー４１のもう一方の端部に設けられた凹部４３と前記吐出部材３２に設けられた突起部４４との結合により固定されている。
【００２１】
前記容器基台２３と前記吐出部材３２との結合により前記容器基台２３に形成された吐出通路３３と前記吐出部材３２に形成された吐出通路３４とは連結され、前記容器本体２８内で切削、攪拌された被調理材料３１を外部に排出することができる。前記吐出部材３２の途中にはコック３５が設けられており被調理材料３１の吐出量を調整することができる。
【００２２】
以上のように構成された電動調理器の動作を説明する。容器基台２３上にカッター２６を支えるカッター台２７を取り付け、前記カッター台２７にパッキン３０を装着する。その後、前記容器基台２３上に容器本体２８をねじ２９により取り付け容器４７を完成する。前記容器４７を本体２１上に固定した後、前記容器本体２８に被調理材料３１を入れ、蓋４５で閉塞する。
【００２３】
前記容器基台２３の側面に形成された固定部３９と吐出部材３２の一端に形成されたフランジ部３７とを結合し固定部材４０を結合部の上部より取り付け固定する。
【００２４】
その後、カバー４１に設けられたリブ４２と前記容器基台２３の前記固定部３９に設けられた凹部４６とを結合し、前記カバー４１のもう一方の端部に設けられた凹部４３と前記吐出部材３２に設けられた突起部４４とを結合することにより前記吐出部材３２を覆うようにカバー４１を固定する。
【００２５】
モータ２２を駆動させ、前記カッター２６が回転し被調理材料３１を切削、攪拌した後、前記吐出部材３２の途中に設けられたコック３５を開き、被調理材料３１を吐出通路３３および吐出通路３４を通じて外部に吐出する。必要量吐出後は、前記コック３５を閉じ、前記吐出部材３２を閉塞する。
【００２６】
調理後は、前記カバー４１の前記凹部４３と前記吐出部材３２の前記突起部４４との結合を外し、前記カバー４１の前記リブ４２と前記容器基台２３の前記凹部４６との結合を外すことにより前記吐出部材３２から前記カバー４１を取り外す。
【００２７】
前記カバー４１を取り外したことにより露出した前記吐出部材３２において、前記固定部材４０を押し上げて取り外すことにより前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３とを簡単に分離することができる。
【００２８】
また、次に調理する際には、前記容器基台２３の側面に形成された前記固定部３９と前記吐出部材３２の一端に形成された前記フランジ部３７とを結合し前記固定部材４０を結合部の上部より取り付け固定することにより前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３との結合を完成する。
【００２９】
その後、前記カバー４１に設けられた前記リブ４２と前記容器基台２３の前記固定部３９に設けられた前記凹部４６とを結合し、前記カバー４１のもう一方の端部に設けられた前記凹部４３と前記吐出部材３２に設けられた前記突起部４４とを結合することにより前記吐出部材３２を覆うように前記カバー４１を固定する。
【００３０】
以上のように本参考例によれば、調理後、吐出部材３２と容器基台２３とを分離することができるため吐出通路３３および吐出通路３４の洗浄を容易に行うことができ衛生上好ましい。
【００３１】
カバー４１は前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３とを覆い保護しており、容器本体２８に被調理材料３１を入れる際の汚れやその他の汚れが付着し固定部材４０や前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３との結合部が外れにくくなるのを防ぐ効果を得られる。
【００３２】
また、前記カバー４１は固定部材４０を上部から覆うため、前記固定部材４０をより強固に固定する効果を得ることができる。この場合、前記カバー４１と前記固定部材４０とが一体に形成されていても同様の効果が得られる。
【００３３】
（実施例１）
図３および図４（ａ）、（ｂ）は、本発明の電動調理器の吐出部材３２と容器基台２３との結合について参考例１で示した構造と異なる構造を示している。参考例１と同一部材については同一符号として説明を省く。図において５１は容器基台２３の側面の固定部３９に形成された雄ねじであり、吐出部材３２と容器基台２３との結合部を前記雄ねじ５１に締結用ナット５２を取り付けることで結合したものである。前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３との結合部には前記吐出部材３２を覆うようにカバー４１が設けられており、前記カバー４１は、前記カバー４１の一端に設けられたリブ４２と前記容器基台２３の固定部３９に設けられた凹部４６との結合、および前記カバー４１のもう一方の端部に設けられた凹部４３と前記吐出部材３２に設けられた突起部４４との結合により固定されている。前記締結用ナット５２は前記吐出部材３２のフランジ部３７の外径Ａより径大な内径Ｂをもつフランジ５３を端部に設け、雌ねじ形成部５５と、前記雌ねじ形成部５５の内側に取り付けられ前記フランジ５３により固定されるフランジ固定部材５６から構成される。前記フランジ固定部材５６は前記フランジ部３７の外径より径小な内径を有しかつ１箇所に切断部５８を設けている。５７は前記吐出部材３２の外周に形成された前記フランジ固定部材５６の軸方向の厚みと同じかまたは幅の広い溝部である。
【００３４】
以上のように本実施例によれば、組立て時に雌ねじ形成部５５のみを吐出部材３２のフランジ部３７の外周をくぐらせた後、フランジ固定部材５６の切断部５８を押し広げることにより吐出部材３２の外周部５９に装着させ前記フランジ固定部材５６を雌ねじ形成部５５の内側に取り付けることで結合を完成する。
【００３５】
前記フランジ固定部材５６の外径を前記雌ねじ形成部５５の結合部の内径より大きく設定すると、結合後には前記フランジ固定部材５６の外に広がろうとする力により結合力が増し前記雌ねじ形成部５５から外れにくくなる。
【００３６】
前記フランジ固定部材５６を前記吐出部材３２の外周に装着する際に、前記吐出部材３２の外周に形成された溝部５７の位置で装着すれば、切断部５８を広げる力を少なく抑えられかつ前記フランジ固定部材５６を取り外す場所が限られるため容易に外れることがない。
【００３７】
前記溝部５７の位置で前記フランジ固定部材５６を前記吐出部材３２の外周に装着する場合、前記切断部５８の広がりを小さくすることができるため前記フランジ固定部材５６の疲労を抑えることができる。
【００３８】
この場合、前記溝部５７は吐出部材３２の外周部５９の全周に形成されても前記切断部５８の装着部分に限っても同じ効果が得られる。
【００３９】
また、前記フランジ部３７の外径より径大な部分を吐出部材３２の途中に有する場合でも前記フランジ固定部材５６の切断部５８を広げることで前記吐出部材３２の外周に装着することができるため好ましい。
【００４０】
前記締結用ナット５２の前記雌ねじ形成部５５と前記フランジ固定部材５６との結合が外れた場合にも前記吐出部材３２より分離することはなく紛失しにくい。
【００４１】
調理後は、前記フランジ固定部材５６と前記雌ねじ形成部５５とを分離し前記フランジ固定部材５６の切断部５８を広げて前記吐出部材３２の外周から取り外せば前記吐出部材３２と容器基台２３とを簡単に分離することができるため吐出通路３４および締結用ナット５２の洗浄が容易であり衛生上好ましい。
【００４２】
カバー４１は前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３とを覆い保護しており、容器本体２８に被調理材料３１を入れる際の汚れやその他の汚れが付着し前記締結用ナット５２や前記吐出部材３２と前記容器基台２３との結合部が外れにくくなるのを防ぐ効果を得られる。
【００４３】
（実施例２）
図５（ａ）、（ｂ）は本発明の電動調理器の締結用ナットについて実施例１で示した構造と異なる構造を示している。前記実施例と同一部材については同一符号とし説明を省く。図において６１はフランジ固定部材５６の径方向の厚みが他の部分より小さく形成した薄肉部である。前記薄肉部６１は前記フランジ固定部材５６の切断部５８に対向する内周または外周に形成される。
【００４４】
以上のように本実施例によれば、前記フランジ固定部材５６を吐出部材３２の外周部５９に装着する際に、前記フランジ固定部材５６が前記薄肉部６１で変形し切断部５８が開きやすくなるため容易に装着することができる。
【００４５】
また、前記薄肉部６１は前記切断部５８に対向する１箇所に設ける例について説明したが、この切断部５８に対向する部分を含む範囲に間隔をあけて複数箇所に形成しても同様の効果が得られる。
【００４６】
（実施例３）
図６は本発明の電動調理器の締結用ナットについて前記実施例で示した構造と異なる構造を示している。前記実施例と同一部材については同一符号とし説明を省く。図において７１はスプリング座金形状に形成されたフランジ固定部材である。
【００４７】
以上のように本実施例によれば、前記フランジ固定部材７１を吐出部材３２の外周部５９に装着する際に、前記フランジ固定部材７１が径方向および軸方向に変形し開口距離が大きくなるため容易に装着することができる。
【００４８】
（実施例４）
図７は本発明の電動調理器の締結用ナットについてついて前記実施例で示した構造と異なる構造を示している。前記実施例と同一部材については同一符号とし説明を省く。図において８１は渦巻き形状に形成されたフランジ固定部材であり、他の部分より薄く形成された外周端部８２および内周端部８３を有する。
【００４９】
以上のように本実施例によれば、前記フランジ固定部材８１を吐出部材２３の外周部５９に装着する際に、回転させながら装着し径方向および軸方向に大きく変形するため、容易に装着することができる。
【００５０】
（実施例５）
図８において本発明の電動調理器の締結用ナットついて前記実施例で示した構造と異なる構造を示している。前記実施例と同一部材については同一符号とし説明を省く。図において９１はフランジ固定部材５６の外周部に形成された多角形部であり、雌ねじ形成部材５５の内周底部に形成された多角形部９２と結合するように構成されている。
【００５１】
以上のように本実施例によれば、前記フランジ固定部材５６の多角形部９１と前記雌ねじ形成部材５５の多角形部９２とを結合させることにより、前記雌ねじ形成部材５５と前記フランジ固定部材５６との間で滑り止めの効果が得られ強く固定することができる。
【００５２】
（実施例６）
図９において本発明の電動調理器の吐出部材を覆うカバーについて示している。前記実施例と同一部材については同一符号とし説明を省く。図において１０１は締結用ナット５２の外周部に形成された凹状の多角形部であり、吐出部材３２を覆うカバー４１の内面に形成された凸状のリブ１０２に結合するよう構成されている。
【００５３】
以上のように本実施例によれば、前記カバー４１を前記吐出部材３２より取り外した後、多角形部１０１とリブ１０２とを結合し前記カバー４１により外形を保持したまま回転させれば前記締結用ナット５２を小さな力で容易に取り外すことができる。
