Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a vegetable cooker that cuts and slices vegetables.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
A vegetable cooker basically has a long plate (sliding plate) on which vegetables slide, a diagonal hole is drilled, a cutting blade is attached to the edge of the diagonal hole, and the cutting blade is fixed. The peripheral plate (fixed sliding plate) on the side is made higher than the other sliding plate, and the vegetables are cut with the thickness corresponding to the level difference.
[0003]
The adjustment of the cutting thickness is performed by adjusting the step, and the lower facing sliding plate (movable sliding plate) is moved up and down. Specifically, there is known a mechanism in which an end portion of a movable sliding plate is pivotally supported to be rotatable, and a mechanism for moving the movable sliding plate up and down is installed below the main body (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-21245, No. 3-25916).
[0004]
By the way, in order to reduce cutting resistance, the cutting blade body is usually provided obliquely without facing at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the main body. Accordingly, the edge of the facing sliding plate (movable sliding plate) is also inclined. Is formed. Therefore, even if the base end of the movable sliding plate is pivotally supported and the movable sliding plate is adjusted up and down by its rotation, the movable blade body facing edge has a different distance from the left and right pivotal support portions. The height gap with the blade farther from the support portion is large (cut thicker), and the closer height interval is smaller (cut thinly). That is, even if the end of the movable sliding plate is pivotally supported and the thickness of the object to be cut is adjusted by the rotation of the plate, the object to be cut (vegetables) cannot be cut with an equal thickness.
[0005]
As a countermeasure, a structure has been proposed in which the entire movable sliding plate is moved up and down while keeping the base end side of the movable peripheral plate in a parallel state (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-24240). That is, a movable sliding surface plate mounted on the main body so as to be movable only up and down, and an inclined surface portion corresponding to the inclined surface portion of the movable sliding surface plate is formed on the upper surface, and the lower surface of the movable sliding surface plate is mounted on the main body so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. When the adjusting body is slid and moved, the bottom inclined surface of the movable sliding plate is in contact with the inclined surface of the adjusting body, and the movable sliding plate is movable only in the vertical direction. The entire plate moves up and down in parallel, and the height difference from the blade is always the same on the left and right.
[0006]
However, the configuration in which the movable sliding plate can be moved up and down as it is cannot be dealt with by remodeling the conventional shaft-stop type manufacturing die, and requires a completely new manufacturing die. Moreover, in order for the movable sliding plate to move up and down in an equilibrium state, high manufacturing accuracy is required, and if it is manufactured roughly, there is a risk of rattling in the vertical direction.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel vegetable cooker that can be adjusted so that the thickness of the slice piece becomes uniform while adopting a structure in which the base of the movable sliding plate is fixed.
[0008]
[Means for solving the problems]
The vegetable cooker according to the present invention includes a fixed sliding plate and a movable sliding plate having an appropriate step across a gap inclined with respect to the vegetable sliding direction on a main body having a plate frame shape as a whole. A cutting blade provided at the gap edge is provided, and both ends of the movable sliding plate opposite to the gap edge are connected to the main body by a rotation shaft so that the step gap can be changed. In the vegetable cooker for slicing cutting , in which a base unit integrated with the main body is provided, and an adjustment unit for adjusting the step interval is provided between the base unit and the movable sliding plate, the rotational axis position is movable. The slide plate is provided with a pivot shaft that is inclined to the left and right with respect to the fixed slide plate surface at a position where the longer turn radius of the slide plate is located above the other , and when the movable slide plate is rotated, The rotation shaft is moved downward so that the rotation of the movable sliding plate is not obstructed by the contact between the side end surface and the inner peripheral surface of the frame of the main body. Capable allowed have a play, with the biasing member for biasing the rotary shaft upwardly and is characterized by comprising inclined holding the pivot shaft.
[0009]
Therefore, the movable sliding plate has a rotating shaft portion that is displaced in the vertical direction on the left and right sides. Therefore, the movable sliding plate is rotated by a rotating shaft that is slightly inclined to the left and right with respect to the fixed sliding plate surface. In comparison, the left and right step errors are equalized.
[0010]
Further, in the present invention, in particular, when the movable sliding plate is rotated, the rotation shaft portion is configured so that the rotation of the movable sliding plate is not hindered by the contact between the side end surface of the movable sliding plate and the inner peripheral surface of the frame of the main body. Is provided with play in the downward movement direction, and an urging member for urging the rotating shaft portion of the movable sliding plate upward is provided to hold the rotating shaft .
[0011]
Therefore, if the rotation by the tilt rotation shaft is strictly realized and the main body and the movable sliding plate are precisely formed, naturally the rotational operation of the movable sliding plate becomes impossible, so that the rotation shaft is provided with some play. As a result, a smooth rotation operation can be performed, and the above-described play enables the step correction by adjusting the adjustment member.
[0012]
[Embodiment]
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The vegetable cooking device shown in the embodiment includes a main body 1, a movable sliding plate 2, and an adjustment body 3.
[0013]
The main body 1 is formed in a rectangular shape to form a frame body that also serves as a protruding edge body 11 on both side portions, a fixed sliding surface 12 is provided on one side that bisects the edge body (frame body) obliquely in the longitudinal direction, and a cutout portion is formed on the other side. 13 and a base portion 14 are formed, and a cutting blade body (flat blade) 15 is obliquely attached to a central side edge portion of the fixed sliding surface 12 in particular.
[0014]
The movable sliding plate 2 has an upper surface that is a movable sliding surface 21, and the movable sliding surface 21 is positioned at a slight level difference from the fixed sliding surface 12 and the cutting blade 15, and a cutting piece between the cutting blade 15 and the movable sliding plate 2. Is arranged on the base part 14 via the adjustment body 3 so as to have a gap a so that the liquid drops downward.
[0015]
The movable sliding plate 2 is provided with a rotation shaft portion on the side surface of the base (opposite the edge on the gap side) so that the step between the movable sliding surface 21, the fixed sliding surface 12, and the cutting blade 15 can be adjusted. A step adjustment mechanism is provided on the bottom surface.
[0016]
The rotation shaft portion projects rotation shafts 22 a and 22 b on the base end side surface of the movable sliding plate 2, and has a bearing hole 16 formed at a position facing the rotation shaft of the main body 1, and the rotation shafts 22 a and 22 b. In particular, the pivot shaft 22a having the longer pivot radius of the movable sliding plate (right side in the illustrated example) is positioned upward, and the upper end of the bearing hole 16 is also made to correspond to the position. . Further, the bearing hole 16 is formed in such a shape that each of the rotating shafts 22a and 22b can move downward.
[0017]
Further, on the base end side with respect to the positions of the rotating shafts 22a and 22b, there is provided a ridge 23 that urges the movable sliding plate 2 in a direction in which the tip of the movable sliding plate 2 is pressed downward. It will be pressed against the top of the.
[0018]
The step adjusting mechanism of the movable sliding plate 2 is provided with a leg plate portion 24 that increases in thickness toward the front portion on the back of the movable sliding plate 2. The movable sliding plate 2 is rotated by changing the position where the portion 24 is provided. The leg plate portion 24 is parallel to the sliding direction and the tip of the movable sliding plate 2 (a portion facing the gap a). ) Is formed with a plurality of projecting portions having the same thickness change, and the leading edge serving as the contact portion of the adjusting body 2 is also an oblique shape corresponding to the gap a.
[0019]
The structure for moving the adjusting body 3 is formed by providing a through hole 17 in the central portion of the base portion 14 and projecting an operation knob 31 connected to the adjusting body 3 downward from the through hole 17.
[0020]
Thus, when the adjustment body 3 is moved forward by the operation knob 31, the contact position between the top end surface of the adjustment body 3 and the leg plate portion 24 is changed, and the front edge of the movable sliding plate 2 is pushed up. The push-up is performed by the movable sliding plate 2 pivoting about the pivot shafts 22a and 22b, and is balanced by the play of the bearing portions of the pivot shafts 22a and 22b and the urging force of the ridges 23. And the plurality of leg plate portions 24 come into contact with each other at a uniform thickness position.
[0021]
That is, in the conventional rotating operation of the movable sliding plate 2 by the horizontal rotating shaft, the step in the inclined gap a does not change uniformly, but by rotating the movable sliding plate 2 so as to be twisted, the step Further, the slight error for causing the adjusting body 3 and the plurality of leg plate portions 24 to contact each other is absorbed by the play of the rotating shaft portion. is there.
[0022]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Especially the various structure proposed conventionally can be employ | adopted for the vertical adjustment mechanism of a movable sliding board.
[0023]
