A horizontal plate-like leg engaging portion 35 that restricts the upward movement with respect to 31 and maintains the mounting state of the container body 5 is provided so as to straddle the four leg placement portions 34.

つまり、装置本体31は、容器本体５のベース部11の下面11aが載置される移動可能な環状の容器載置部である脚係合部35を有している。そして、この脚係合部（容器載置台）35は、ねじ孔部39に螺着された取付部材である取付ねじ38によって、取付部40の上面に所定量だけ移動可能な状態に取り付けられている。 That is, the apparatus main body 31 has the leg engaging part 35 which is a movable annular container mounting part on which the lower surface 11a of the base part 11 of the container main body 5 is mounted. The leg engaging portion (container mounting table) 35 is attached to the upper surface of the attachment portion 40 so as to be movable by a predetermined amount by an attachment screw 38 which is an attachment member screwed into the screw hole portion 39. Yes.

すなわち、脚係合部35は、取付ねじ38の締め付けで取付部40に対して完全に固定されているのではなく、回転軸８の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ａ）と駆動軸51の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ｂ）との芯ずれが自動的に修正されるように、駆動軸51の軸芯を中心として、取付部40の上面（移動板支持面）に対して所定量である若干量だけ水平方向に摺動可能となっている。なお、ここでいう若干量とは、例えば０．１〜１．０ｍｍである。 That is, the leg engaging portion 35 is not completely fixed to the mounting portion 40 by tightening the mounting screw 38, but the axis of the rotating shaft 8 (rotation center axis A) and the axis of the driving shaft 51. A slight amount that is a predetermined amount with respect to the upper surface (moving plate support surface) of the mounting portion 40 around the axis of the drive shaft 51 so that the misalignment with the (rotation center axis B) is automatically corrected. It is only slidable in the horizontal direction. The slight amount here is, for example, 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

各脚載置部34は、容器本体５の脚部16が出し入れ可能に収納載置される上方開口状の凹部分36を上部に有し、この凹部分36の底面が、脚部16の下面が載置される水平な平面状の脚載置面37となっている。そして、脚部16は、凹部分36内に収納されて脚載置面37に載置された状態で、その脚載置面37に沿って所定量だけ摺動可能となっている。つまり、容器本体５は、立ち姿勢で装置本体31に載置された状態で、上下方向の回転中心軸線Ａを中心として装置本体31に対して水平方向に所定量だけ回動可能となっている。 Each leg placement part 34 has an upper opening-like recessed part 36 in which the leg part 16 of the container body 5 is stored and placed so that it can be inserted and removed. The bottom surface of the recessed part 36 is the lower surface of the leg part 16. This is a horizontal flat leg placement surface 37 on which is placed. The leg portion 16 is slidable by a predetermined amount along the leg placement surface 37 in a state where the leg portion 16 is housed in the concave portion 36 and placed on the leg placement surface 37. That is, the container body 5 can be rotated by a predetermined amount in the horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus body 31 around the rotation center axis A in the vertical direction while being placed on the apparatus body 31 in a standing posture. .

なお、ここでいう所定量、つまり容器本体５を装置本体31に対して載置状態のまま水平回動させることができる回動角度は、例えば５〜１５度で、好ましくは１０度である。 Here, the predetermined amount, that is, the rotation angle at which the container body 5 can be horizontally rotated while being placed on the apparatus body 31 is, for example, 5 to 15 degrees, and preferably 10 degrees.

脚係合部35は、脚部16の径大下側部分16bが通る大きさの切欠円形状の大孔41と、この大孔41に連通し、脚部16の径大下側部分16bが通らない大きさの切欠円形状の小孔42とを有している。つまり、脚係合部35の角部付近には、複数、すなわち例えば前後左右で４つの平面視略ダルマ形状のダルマ孔43が上下面に貫通して形成されており、この各ダルマ孔43が互いに連通した大孔41と小孔42とにて構成されている。脚載置部34の凹部分36は、ダルマ孔43を介して上方に開口している。 The leg engaging portion 35 communicates with the large hole 41 having a notched circular shape with a size through which the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 passes, and the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is connected to the large hole 41. And a small hole 42 having a cut-out circular shape with a size that does not pass therethrough. That is, in the vicinity of the corner of the leg engaging portion 35, a plurality of, for example, four dharma holes 43 having a substantially dharma shape in plan view are formed so as to penetrate the top and bottom surfaces. The large hole 41 and the small hole 42 communicate with each other. The concave portion 36 of the leg placement portion 34 opens upward through a dharma hole 43.

On the other hand, the outer diameter size of the small-diameter upper portion 16a is smaller than the respective opening diameter sizes of the large hole 41 and the small hole. For example, the outer diameter dimension of the small-diameter upper portion 16a and the opening diameter dimension of the small hole 42 may be made substantially the same so that the small-diameter upper portion 16a fits into the small hole 42.

また、脚係合部35の中央部には、平面視円形状の貫通孔44が上下面に貫通して形成され、この貫通孔44の中央位置に駆動手段32の駆動軸51が回転可能に配設されている。 In addition, a through hole 44 having a circular shape in plan view is formed through the upper and lower surfaces in the central portion of the leg engaging portion 35, and the drive shaft 51 of the drive means 32 is rotatable at the central position of the through hole 44. It is arranged.

ここで、脚係合部35は、例えばねじ孔部39に螺着された取付ねじ38によって取付部40にこの取付部40の上面に沿って所定量だけ水平方向に移動可能（摺動可能）な状態に取り付けられた水平状の金属製の移動板（ストッパ板）46と、この移動板46上に重なり合うように脱着可能に設けられ上面が水平な容器載置面48となっている弾性変形可能な水平状のゴム製の弾性板（ゴム板）47とにて構成されている。 Here, the leg engaging portion 35 is movable (slidable) in the horizontal direction by a predetermined amount along the upper surface of the mounting portion 40 to the mounting portion 40 by, for example, a mounting screw 38 screwed into the screw hole portion 39. A horizontal metal moving plate (stopper plate) 46 mounted in a stable state, and an elastic deformation in which the upper surface is a horizontal container mounting surface 48 that is detachably provided so as to overlap the moving plate 46 It is composed of a possible horizontal rubber elastic plate (rubber plate) 47.

なお、弾性板47は、取付ねじ38がねじ孔部39に螺着された状態のまま、移動板46から取り外すことができるが、移動板46は、取付ねじ38をねじ孔部39から外さない限り、取付部40から取り外すことができない。 The elastic plate 47 can be removed from the moving plate 46 while the mounting screw 38 is screwed into the screw hole 39, but the moving plate 46 does not remove the mounting screw 38 from the screw hole 39. As long as it cannot be removed from the mounting portion 40.

移動板46は、取付部40の上面上に載置され弾性板47の下面全体を下方から支持する環状の本体板部46aと、この本体板部46aの４つの側端部に折曲げにより上方突出状に一体に設けられ、弾性板47の側端面を支持する鉛直状の突出板部46bとを有している。 The movable plate 46 is placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 40 and supports the entire lower surface of the elastic plate 47 from below. The movable plate 46 is bent upward at the four side end portions of the main plate 46a. And a vertical protruding plate portion 46b that is provided integrally with the protruding shape and supports the side end surface of the elastic plate 47.

本体板部46aの中央部には円形状の貫通孔44が形成され、本体板部46aの４つの角部にはダルマ形状のダルマ孔43が形成されている。また、本体板部46aのうちダルマ孔43の近傍位置には、取付ねじ38の軸部38aが挿通（遊挿）される円形状のねじ挿通孔45が形成されている。このねじ挿通孔45の開口径は、取付ねじ38の軸部38aの外径よりも大きい。 A circular through hole 44 is formed at the center of the main body plate portion 46a, and a dharma-shaped dharma hole 43 is formed at four corners of the main body plate portion 46a. Further, a circular screw insertion hole 45 into which the shaft portion 38a of the mounting screw 38 is inserted (freely inserted) is formed in the main body plate portion 46a in the vicinity of the Dalma hole 43. The opening diameter of the screw insertion hole 45 is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 38a of the mounting screw 38.

また、取付ねじ38の軸部38aの上部外周側には、取付ねじ38の頭部38bの高さ位置を位置決めするための円筒状の位置決め用のカラー50が嵌着されている。カラー50の上面が取付ねじ38の頭部38bの下面に当接し、カラー50の下面が脚載置部34の上面のうちねじ孔部39の周囲の部分に当接している。 Further, a cylindrical positioning collar 50 for positioning the height position of the head portion 38b of the mounting screw 38 is fitted to the upper outer peripheral side of the shaft portion 38a of the mounting screw 38. The upper surface of the collar 50 is in contact with the lower surface of the head portion 38b of the mounting screw 38, and the lower surface of the collar 50 is in contact with the portion around the screw hole portion 39 on the upper surface of the leg placement portion 34.

取付ねじ38の頭部38bは弾性板47の上面よりも若干高い位置に位置しており、移動板46の上に重ねられた弾性板47が上方から取付ねじ38の頭部38bで締め付けられないようになっている。また、この取付ねじ38の円板状の頭部38bの外径は、ねじ挿通孔45の開口径よりも大きい。なお、カラー50の外周面と、ねじ挿通孔45の周囲の面との間には、移動板46を取付部40に対して水平方向に移動させるための僅かな隙間53が存在する（図９参照）。 The head 38b of the mounting screw 38 is located at a position slightly higher than the upper surface of the elastic plate 47, and the elastic plate 47 superimposed on the moving plate 46 cannot be tightened by the head 38b of the mounting screw 38 from above. It is like that. Further, the outer diameter of the disk-shaped head portion 38 b of the mounting screw 38 is larger than the opening diameter of the screw insertion hole 45. A slight gap 53 for moving the moving plate 46 in the horizontal direction with respect to the mounting portion 40 exists between the outer peripheral surface of the collar 50 and the surface around the screw insertion hole 45 (FIG. 9). reference).

弾性板47は、例えばゴム等の弾性材料によって、移動板46の本体板部46aと略同形状に１枚板状に一体に形成されている。弾性板47の中央部には円形状の貫通孔44が形成され、弾性板47の４つの角部にはダルマ形状のダルマ孔43が形成されている。 The elastic plate 47 is integrally formed in a single plate shape in substantially the same shape as the main body plate portion 46a of the moving plate 46 by an elastic material such as rubber, for example. A circular through hole 44 is formed at the center of the elastic plate 47, and a Dalma-shaped Dalma hole 43 is formed at the four corners of the elastic plate 47.

また、弾性板47のうちダルマ孔43の近傍位置には、取付ねじ38の軸部38aが挿通（遊挿）される略３角形状のねじ挿通用の切欠（ねじ挿通部）49が側端面から切り欠かれて形成されている。なお、カラー50の外周面と、ねじ挿通用の切欠49の周囲の面との間には、移動板46を取付部40に対して水平方向に移動させるための僅かな隙間55が存在する（図９参照）。また、弾性板47の上面が、容器本体５のベース部11の下面11aが載置される容器載置面48となっている。 Further, in the vicinity of the Dalma hole 43 in the elastic plate 47, a substantially triangular screw insertion notch (screw insertion portion) 49 into which the shaft portion 38a of the mounting screw 38 is inserted (free insertion) is a side end surface. It is formed by cutting away. A slight gap 55 for moving the moving plate 46 in the horizontal direction with respect to the mounting portion 40 exists between the outer peripheral surface of the collar 50 and the surface around the notch 49 for screw insertion ( (See FIG. 9). The upper surface of the elastic plate 47 is a container placement surface 48 on which the lower surface 11a of the base portion 11 of the container body 5 is placed.

駆動手段32は、駆動軸51とモータ52とからなるもので、この駆動軸51は、装置本体31の上部の軸支持部30内に挿通され、その軸支持部30のベアリングにて回動可能に支持されている。そして、この駆動軸51の下端側がモータ52の出力軸に接続されている。 The drive means 32 includes a drive shaft 51 and a motor 52. The drive shaft 51 is inserted into the shaft support portion 30 at the top of the apparatus body 31, and can be rotated by a bearing of the shaft support portion 30. It is supported by. The lower end side of the drive shaft 51 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 52.

また、駆動軸51の上端部には、撹拌体６の回転軸８の駆動軸接続部23の接続口部分24に嵌脱可能に嵌入されて接続される接続軸部分54が形成されている。この接続軸部分54の断面形状は、接続口部分24と嵌合する多角形状、例えば４角形状である。 Further, a connecting shaft portion 54 is formed at the upper end portion of the driving shaft 51 so as to be removably inserted into and connected to the connecting port portion 24 of the driving shaft connecting portion 23 of the rotating shaft 8 of the agitator 6. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting shaft portion 54 is a polygonal shape that fits into the connecting port portion 24, for example, a quadrangular shape.

そして、装置本体31への容器本体５の取り付けによって、駆動軸51の接続軸部分54が回転軸８の駆動軸接続部（ユニバーサルジョイント部）23の接続口部分24に嵌入接続されると、回転軸８の回転中心軸線Ａと駆動軸51の回転中心軸線Ｂとが互いに一致した状態となり、これら両軸８，51の軸芯が同軸上に位置する。 When the connecting shaft portion 54 of the driving shaft 51 is fitted and connected to the connecting port portion 24 of the driving shaft connecting portion (universal joint portion) 23 of the rotating shaft 8 by attaching the container main body 5 to the apparatus main body 31, the rotation is performed. The rotation center axis A of the shaft 8 and the rotation center axis B of the drive shaft 51 coincide with each other, and the shaft cores of both the shafts 8 and 51 are positioned coaxially.

しかし、例えば図１０（ａ）に示すように、駆動軸51から回転軸８へと動力伝達可能な接続状態ではあるが、回転軸８の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ａ）と駆動軸51の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ｂ）とが互いに僅かにずれた状態（正面視で駆動軸51の軸芯に対して回転軸８の軸芯が僅かにずれた状態）で、容器本体５が装置本体31に取り付けられる場合がある。 However, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the power transmission from the drive shaft 51 to the rotary shaft 8 is in a connected state, but the axis of the rotary shaft 8 (rotation center axis A) and the axis of the drive shaft 51 In a state where the core (rotation center axis B) is slightly deviated from each other (in a front view, the axis of the rotary shaft 8 is slightly deviated from the axis of the drive shaft 51), the container main body 5 is the apparatus main body 31. It may be attached to.

この場合、図１０（ｂ）に示すように、モータ52が駆動を開始して駆動軸51を回転させると、駆動軸51の軸芯に追従するように、容器本体５がこの容器本体５を支持固定した脚係合部（容器載置部）35と一体となって水平方向に若干移動し、その結果、回転軸８の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ａ）と駆動軸51の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ｂ）とが互いに一致した状態となる。 In this case, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the motor 52 starts driving and rotates the drive shaft 51, the container body 5 moves the container body 5 so as to follow the axis of the drive shaft 51. It moves slightly in the horizontal direction together with the leg engaging part (container mounting part) 35 that is supported and fixed, and as a result, the axis of the rotation shaft 8 (rotation center axis A) and the axis of the drive shaft 51 (rotation). The central axes B) coincide with each other.

換言すると、駆動軸51と軸芯がずれた状態で接続された回転軸８は、駆動軸51の回転によって、僅かな偏心力が加えられて回転するため、容器部２に多少の振動が生じ、その結果、脚係合部35の若干量の水平移動に基づいて、傾いていた駆動軸接続部23が回転軸部21に対して真っ直ぐな状態となり、容器部２の回転軸８の軸芯と本体部３の駆動軸51の軸芯との芯ずれが修正される。 In other words, the rotating shaft 8 connected to the drive shaft 51 in a state in which the axis is displaced is rotated by applying a slight eccentric force by the rotation of the drive shaft 51, so that some vibration is generated in the container portion 2. As a result, the tilted drive shaft connecting portion 23 becomes straight with respect to the rotating shaft portion 21 based on a slight amount of horizontal movement of the leg engaging portion 35, and the axis of the rotating shaft 8 of the container portion 2. And a misalignment between the axis of the drive shaft 51 of the main body 3 and the axis of the drive shaft 51 are corrected.

また一方、本体部３は、容器本体５が装置本体31に取り付けられた状態時に被検知手段20を検知する検知手段（検知センサ）56と、撹拌体６の撹拌刃９にて被撹拌物の撹拌が行われている場合において検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知しなくなったときに駆動手段32のモータ52の駆動を停止させる制御手段57と、使用者によって操作される操作手段58とを備えている。 On the other hand, the main body 3 has a detection means (detection sensor) 56 for detecting the detection means 20 when the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31 and an agitating blade 9 of the agitator 6. A control means 57 for stopping the driving of the motor 52 of the driving means 32 when the detecting means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20 when stirring is being performed, and an operating means 58 operated by the user. I have.

制御手段57には、モータ52、検知手段56および操作手段58等が電気的に接続され、この制御手段57は、検知手段56および操作手段58からの信号に基づいてモータ52を制御する。操作手段58は、装置本体31の本体ケース部33の前面に左右方向に並設された複数の操作ボタン59を有している。 The control means 57 is electrically connected to a motor 52, a detection means 56, an operation means 58, and the like. The control means 57 controls the motor 52 based on signals from the detection means 56 and the operation means 58. The operation means 58 has a plurality of operation buttons 59 arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the front surface of the main body case portion 33 of the apparatus main body 31.

検知手段56は、例えば光電センサからなるもので、装置本体31の本体ケース部33の上面後部に取り付けられたセンサボックス61内に収納配設されている。センサボックス61は、前方に向かって開口する円形状の開口部62を有し、この開口部62によって検知手段56の一部である前面部が露出している。 The detection means 56 is composed of, for example, a photoelectric sensor, and is housed and disposed in a sensor box 61 attached to the upper rear portion of the main body case portion 33 of the apparatus main body 31. The sensor box 61 has a circular opening 62 that opens toward the front, and the opening 62 exposes a front surface portion that is a part of the detection means 56.

そして、検知手段56は、検知光を前方へ発光するとともに被検知手段20からの反射光を受光することにより、被検知手段20を非接触で検知する。 The detection means 56 detects the detected means 20 in a non-contact manner by emitting detection light forward and receiving reflected light from the detected means 20.

つまり、図３に示すように、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の取付状態が解除された状態（装置本体31に載置された載置状態の容器本体５を装置本体31に対して上動させることができる状態）では、被検知手段20である突出部19が検知手段56の前面部の対向位置（前方位置）からずれて位置し、その結果、検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知しない。 That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the state in which the container body 5 is attached to the apparatus body 31 is released (the container body 5 placed on the apparatus body 31 is moved up relative to the apparatus body 31. In the state where the detection unit 56 is in a position capable of being detected), the protruding portion 19 which is the detected unit 20 is shifted from the opposed position (front position) of the front surface of the detection unit 56, and as a result, the detection unit 56 does not detect the detected unit 20 .

その一方、図４に示すように、容器本体５が装置本体31に対して取り付けられた取付状態（装置本体31に載置された載置状態の容器本体５を装置本体31に対して上動させることができない状態）では、被検知手段20である突出部19が検知手段56の前面部の対向位置（前方位置）に位置し、その結果、検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知する。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31 (the container main body 5 placed on the apparatus main body 31 is moved upward relative to the apparatus main body 31). In the state where the detection means 20 cannot be performed), the protruding portion 19 that is the detected means 20 is positioned at the position (front position) of the front face of the detection means 56, and as a result, the detection means 56 detects the detected means 20.

次に、上記ミキサー装置１の作用等を説明する。 Next, the operation and the like of the mixer device 1 will be described.

ミキサー装置１を使用するにあたり、容器部２の容器本体５を本体部３の装置本体31に取り付ける際には、使用者は、容器本体５を立ち姿勢のまま装置本体31に対して下動させて載置した後に、その載置状態の容器本体５を回転軸部21の軸芯を中心として立ち姿勢のまま一方向である取付方向（図３上、反時計周り）に所定量だけ水平回動させる。 In using the mixer device 1, when attaching the container body 5 of the container unit 2 to the device body 31 of the body unit 3, the user moves the container body 5 downward with respect to the device body 31 while standing. Then, the container body 5 in the mounted state is rotated horizontally by a predetermined amount in a mounting direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 3) in one direction while maintaining a standing posture around the axis of the rotary shaft 21. Move.

具体的には、まず、図５（ａ）に示すように、容器本体５を装置本体31に対して下動させることにより、脚部16の径大下側部分16bを脚係合部35の大孔41を通して凹部分36内に入れて脚載置面37に載置する。 Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the container body 5 is moved downward with respect to the apparatus body 31, whereby the large-diameter lower side portion 16 b of the leg portion 16 is moved to the leg engaging portion 35. It is placed in the recess 36 through the large hole 41 and placed on the leg placement surface 37.

すると、脚部16の径大下側部分16bの下面が脚載置面37に載置されるとともに、ベース部11の下面が脚係合部35の弾性板47の上面に載置され、かつ、脚部16の径小上側部分16aが大孔41の中央部に位置する。また、駆動手段32の駆動軸51の接続軸部分54が回転軸８の駆動軸接続部23の接続口部分24に嵌入され、駆動軸51と回転軸８とが動力伝達可能な適正な接続状態となる。 Then, the lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is placed on the leg placing surface 37, the lower surface of the base portion 11 is placed on the upper surface of the elastic plate 47 of the leg engaging portion 35, and The small-diameter upper portion 16a of the leg portion 16 is located at the center of the large hole 41. Further, the connecting shaft portion 54 of the driving shaft 51 of the driving means 32 is fitted into the connecting port portion 24 of the driving shaft connecting portion 23 of the rotating shaft 8 so that the driving shaft 51 and the rotating shaft 8 can transmit power appropriately. It becomes.

続いて、図５（ｂ）に示すように、脚部16の径小上側部分16aが脚係合部35における小孔42の縁部に当たるまで、容器本体５を装置本体31に対して一方向に所定量だけ水平回動させることにより、脚部16の径大下側部分16bの下面を脚載置面37に沿って摺動させるとともに、ベース部11の下面を弾性板47の上面である容器載置面48に沿って摺動させる。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the container body 5 is moved in one direction with respect to the apparatus body 31 until the small-diameter upper portion 16 a of the leg portion 16 abuts the edge of the small hole 42 in the leg engaging portion 35. The lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is slid along the leg placement surface 37, and the lower surface of the base portion 11 is the upper surface of the elastic plate 47. Slide along the container mounting surface 48.

すると、脚部16の径大下側部分16bが脚係合部35と係合不能な位置から脚係合部35と係合可能な位置へと脚載置面37上を摺動移動し、脚係合部35の一部（脚係合部35のうち、小孔42に臨んだ被挟持部分）がベース部11の下面と脚部16の径大下側部分16bの上面とにて上下から挟持固定され、これにより、容器本体５が装置本体31に対して取り付けられた取付状態となる。このとき、脚係合部35の弾性板47が若干圧縮弾性変形し、この弾性板47の弾性復元力によって容器本体５が装置本体31に対してがたつかないようになっている。 Then, the large diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 slides and moves on the leg placement surface 37 from a position where the leg engaging portion 35 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging portion 35, A part of the leg engaging portion 35 (a sandwiched portion of the leg engaging portion 35 facing the small hole 42) is vertically moved between the lower surface of the base portion 11 and the upper surface of the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16. From this, the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31. At this time, the elastic plate 47 of the leg engaging portion 35 is slightly compressed and elastically deformed so that the container main body 5 does not rattle against the apparatus main body 31 due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic plate 47.

そして、この容器本体５の取付状態時においては、脚係合部35の一部と脚部16の径大下側部分16bとの当接係合により、容器本体５の装置本体31に対する上動が規制される。このため、容器本体５が装置本体31に対して水平方向に所定量回動しない限り、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の取付状態が維持される。つまり、載置状態の容器本体５が装置本体31に対して所定量水平回動しない限り、容器本体５が装置本体31から上方へ外れない。 When the container body 5 is attached, the container body 5 is moved upward relative to the apparatus body 31 by the contact engagement between a part of the leg engaging portion 35 and the large diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16. Is regulated. For this reason, unless the container main body 5 is rotated by a predetermined amount in the horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus main body 31, the attachment state of the container main body 5 to the apparatus main body 31 is maintained. In other words, the container body 5 does not move upward from the apparatus body 31 unless the placed container body 5 rotates horizontally by a predetermined amount with respect to the apparatus body 31.

また、この容器本体５の取付状態時においては、被検知手段20を構成する２つの突出部19のどちらかが検知手段56の対向位置に位置しているため、検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知しており、ミキサー装置１が運転可能状態となっている。 In addition, when the container body 5 is attached, one of the two protrusions 19 constituting the detected means 20 is located at a position opposite to the detecting means 56, so that the detecting means 56 is detected. Is detected, and the mixer apparatus 1 is in an operable state.

このため、制御手段57は、検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知した状態で、操作手段58の作業開始用の操作ボタン59が使用者によって操作されると、モータ52を駆動制御する。 For this reason, the control means 57 drives and controls the motor 52 when the operation button 59 for starting the operation of the operation means 58 is operated by the user while the detection means 56 detects the detected means 20.

そして、このモータ52の駆動によって駆動軸51が回転すると、回転軸８が撹拌刃９とともに回転し、この撹拌刃９によって容器本体５内の被撹拌物が破砕撹拌される。 When the drive shaft 51 is rotated by driving the motor 52, the rotating shaft 8 rotates together with the stirring blade 9, and the stirring object in the container body 5 is crushed and stirred by the stirring blade 9.

ここで、このように撹拌刃９にて容器本体５内の被撹拌物の撹拌が行われている場合において、容器本体５が装置本体31に対して水平方向に所定量回動したときには、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の取付状態が解除されて容器本体５が装置本体31に対して上動可能な状態となるとともに、駆動手段32のモータ52の駆動が自動的に停止する。 Here, when the agitated object in the container main body 5 is being stirred by the stirring blade 9 as described above, when the container main body 5 is rotated by a predetermined amount in the horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus main body 31, the device The attachment state of the container main body 5 to the main body 31 is released, and the container main body 5 enters a state in which the container main body 5 can be moved upward relative to the apparatus main body 31, and the driving of the motor 52 of the driving means 32 is automatically stopped.

つまり、検知手段56に対して対向していた被検知手段20がその検知手段56の対向位置からずれることによって、検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知しなくなると、制御手段57は、モータ52の駆動を停止させる。こうして、モータ52の駆動が停止すると、撹拌体６が停止する。 That is, when the detected means 20 that has been opposed to the detecting means 56 deviates from the position where the detected means 56 is opposed, and the detecting means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20, the control means 57 Stop driving. Thus, when the driving of the motor 52 is stopped, the stirring body 6 is stopped.

このため、例えば撹拌体６にて撹拌が行われている途中で、使用者が誤って容器本体５を装置本体31から取り外そうとして、容器本体５を他方向（取外方向）へ所定量回動させたときには、モータ52の駆動が自動停止して撹拌体６が停止する。 For this reason, for example, while stirring is being performed by the stirring body 6, the user mistakenly tries to remove the container body 5 from the apparatus body 31, and the container body 5 is moved in the other direction (removal direction) by a predetermined amount. When rotated, the drive of the motor 52 is automatically stopped, and the agitator 6 is stopped.

一方、撹拌作業の完了後、容器部２の容器本体５を本体部３の装置本体31から取り外す際には、使用者は、作業停止用の操作ボタン59を操作して撹拌体６を停止させてから、容器本体５を立ち姿勢のまま装置本体31に対して他方向である取外方向（図３上、時計周り）に所定量だけ水平回動させた後に、その容器本体５を立ち姿勢のまま装置本体31に対して上動させてその装置本体31から離す。 On the other hand, when the container main body 5 of the container section 2 is removed from the apparatus main body 31 of the main body section 3 after the stirring work is completed, the user operates the operation button 59 for stopping the work to stop the stirring body 6. After that, the container body 5 is horizontally rotated by a predetermined amount in the removal direction (clockwise in FIG. 3), which is the other direction with respect to the apparatus body 31, while the container body 5 is in the standing position. The device main body 31 is moved upward and separated from the device main body 31.

具体的には、まず、脚部16の径大下側部分16bが凹部分36の側面に当たるまで、つまり平面視で脚部16の径大下側部分16bと大孔41とが一致するまで、容器本体５を装置本体31に対して他方向に所定量だけ水平回動させることにより、脚部16の径大下側部分16bの下面を脚載置面37に沿って摺動させるとともに、ベース部11の下面を弾性板47の上面に沿って摺動させる。 Specifically, first, until the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 hits the side surface of the concave portion 36, that is, until the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 and the large hole 41 coincide with each other in plan view, By horizontally rotating the container body 5 by a predetermined amount in the other direction with respect to the apparatus body 31, the lower surface of the large-diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is slid along the leg placement surface 37, and the base The lower surface of the part 11 is slid along the upper surface of the elastic plate 47.

すると、脚部16の径大下側部分16bが脚係合部35と係合可能な位置から脚係合部35と係合不能な位置へと脚載置面37上を摺動移動し、ベース部11の下面と脚部16の径大下側部分16bの上面とによる脚係合部35の挟持固定が解除される。その結果、容器本体５の取付状態が解除され、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の上動が許容される状態となる。 Then, the large-diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 slides on the leg placement surface 37 from a position where it can engage with the leg engaging portion 35 to a position where it cannot engage with the leg engaging portion 35, The pinching and fixing of the leg engaging portion 35 by the lower surface of the base portion 11 and the upper surface of the large diameter lower portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is released. As a result, the attachment state of the container body 5 is released, and the container body 5 is allowed to move upward relative to the apparatus body 31.

続いて、容器本体５を装置本体31に対して上動させることにより、脚部16の径大下側部分16bを脚係合部35の大孔41を通して凹部分36外の上方へ出す。こうして、回転軸８と駆動軸51との接続を解除するとともに、容器本体５を装置本体31から上方へ取り外す。 Subsequently, the container main body 5 is moved upward with respect to the apparatus main body 31 so that the large-diameter lower side portion 16b of the leg portion 16 is taken out above the concave portion 36 through the large hole 41 of the leg engaging portion 35. Thus, the connection between the rotary shaft 8 and the drive shaft 51 is released, and the container body 5 is removed from the apparatus body 31 upward.

そして、上記ミキサー装置１によれば、脚係合部35の移動によって容器部２の回転軸８の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ａ）と本体部３の駆動軸51の軸芯（回転中心軸線Ａ）との芯ずれを修正できるため、両軸８，51の芯ずれによって容器部２が激しく振動することを防止でき、よって、例えば容器本体５の転倒等を防止できる。 According to the mixer device 1, the axis of the rotation shaft 8 (rotation center axis A) of the container portion 2 and the axis of the drive shaft 51 of the main body portion 3 (rotation center axis A) by the movement of the leg engagement portion 35. ), The container portion 2 can be prevented from vibrating vigorously due to the misalignment of the shafts 8 and 51, and for example, the container body 5 can be prevented from falling.

また、脚係合部35は、取付部40に対して隙間53，55に応じた所定量（若干量）だけ移動可能な移動板46と、この移動板46上に載置状態に設けられ上面が容器載置面48となっている弾性板47とにて構成されているため、その弾性板47の容器載置面48によって容器本体５を安定的に支持でき、容器部２の振動を抑制できる。 Further, the leg engaging portion 35 has a movable plate 46 that can be moved by a predetermined amount (some amount) according to the gaps 53 and 55 with respect to the mounting portion 40, and an upper surface provided on the movable plate 46 in a mounted state. Is constituted by the elastic plate 47 which is the container mounting surface 48, so that the container main body 5 can be stably supported by the container mounting surface 48 of the elastic plate 47 and the vibration of the container part 2 is suppressed. it can.

さらに、弾性板47は、ねじ挿通用の切欠49を有して移動板46に対して脱着可能となっているため、例えば清掃時には弾性板47を移動板46から容易に取り外すことができ、清掃性が良好である。 Furthermore, since the elastic plate 47 has a notch 49 for screw insertion and can be attached to and detached from the moving plate 46, the elastic plate 47 can be easily detached from the moving plate 46, for example, during cleaning. Good properties.

また、例えば清掃時に弾性板47を移動板46から取り外した場合には、移動板46の上面と取付ねじ38の頭部38bとの間に、弾性板47の厚さ寸法に応じたスペースができるため、取付ねじ38をねじ孔部39から取り外すことなく、移動板46をそのスペース分だけ持ち上げることができ、例えば脚載置部34の上面を清掃できる。なお、取付ねじ38をねじ孔部39から外せば、移動板46を脚載置部34から取り外すことができる。 For example, when the elastic plate 47 is removed from the moving plate 46 during cleaning, a space corresponding to the thickness dimension of the elastic plate 47 is formed between the upper surface of the moving plate 46 and the head 38b of the mounting screw 38. Therefore, the moving plate 46 can be lifted by the space without removing the mounting screw 38 from the screw hole portion 39, and for example, the upper surface of the leg placement portion 34 can be cleaned. Note that the movable plate 46 can be removed from the leg placement portion 34 by removing the mounting screw 38 from the screw hole portion 39.

さらに、移動板46の４辺が上方に折り曲げられて、折曲部である突出板部46bが形成されているため、弾性板47を移動板46上の所定位置に容易に載置できる。 Further, since the four sides of the moving plate 46 are bent upward to form the protruding plate portion 46b that is a bent portion, the elastic plate 47 can be easily placed at a predetermined position on the moving plate 46.

また、移動板46上に載置された弾性板47は、そのねじ挿通用の切欠49に臨んだ部分が取付ねじ38の頭部38bに引っ掛かるため、容器本体５を持ち上げても一緒に外れることがない。 Further, the elastic plate 47 placed on the moving plate 46 is hooked on the head 38b of the mounting screw 38 at the portion facing the notch 49 for screw insertion, so that it can be removed together even when the container body 5 is lifted. There is no.

さらに、容器本体５が装置本体31に取り付けられた状態時において、容器本体５が装置本体31に対して所定量回動しない限り、容器本体５の取付状態が維持されるため、容器本体５が装置本体31から不用意に外れることを防止できる。したがって例えば撹拌体６による撹拌時に容器本体５内の被撹拌物の多少の片寄りによって重心がずれて容器本体５に振動（微振動）が発生していても、撹拌によって被撹拌物の片寄りがすぐに治まれば、セットした容器本体５が装置本体31から外れることがなく、容器本体５の取付状態を適切に維持でき、容器本体５の転倒等を防止できる。 Furthermore, when the container main body 5 is attached to the apparatus main body 31, the container main body 5 is maintained in the attached state unless the container main body 5 rotates a predetermined amount with respect to the apparatus main body 31. It is possible to prevent the device body 31 from being inadvertently detached. Therefore, for example, even if the center of gravity is shifted due to some deviation of the object to be stirred in the container body 5 during stirring by the stirring body 6 and vibration (fine vibration) is generated in the container body 5, the object to be stirred is shifted by the stirring. As soon as the symptom is cured, the set container body 5 is not detached from the apparatus body 31, the attachment state of the container body 5 can be appropriately maintained, and the container body 5 can be prevented from being overturned.

また、撹拌体６にて撹拌が行われている場合において、例えば容器本体５内の被撹拌物の片寄りがすぐに治まらず、重心のずれた状態で容器本体５の振動が続くことによって、容器本体５が装置本体31に対してずれて所定量回動したときには、駆動手段32のモータ52の駆動が自動的に停止するため、安全性を適切に確保できる。 Further, when the stirring body 6 is stirring, for example, the deviation of the object to be stirred in the container body 5 is not immediately cured, and the vibration of the container body 5 continues with the center of gravity shifted, When the container body 5 deviates with respect to the apparatus body 31 and rotates by a predetermined amount, the driving of the motor 52 of the driving means 32 is automatically stopped, so that safety can be appropriately secured.

さらに、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の回動によって検知手段56が被検知手段20を検知しなくなったときに、制御手段57が駆動手段32の駆動を停止させるため、安全性をより一層適切に確保できる。 Further, when the detection means 56 no longer detects the detected means 20 due to the rotation of the container main body 5 with respect to the apparatus main body 31, the control means 57 stops the drive of the drive means 32, so that the safety is further improved. It can be secured.

また、被検知手段20は容器本体５に突設された前後１対の突出部19にて構成され、容器本体５が前後対称の構成となっているため、容器本体５を装置本体31に対して取り付ける際に、容器本体５の前後の向きを気にする必要がなく、取付作業が容易である。 The detected means 20 is composed of a pair of front and rear projecting portions 19 projecting from the container main body 5, and the container main body 5 has a front-rear symmetrical configuration. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry about the front and rear direction of the container body 5, and the attachment work is easy.

さらに、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の一方向への回動により、脚部16が脚係合部35と係合不能な位置から脚係合部35と係合可能な位置へと脚載置面37上を摺動移動し、装置本体31に対する容器本体５の他方向への回動により、脚部16が脚係合部35と係合可能な位置から脚係合部35と係合不能な位置へと脚載置面37上を摺動移動する構成となっているため、脚部16を脚係合部35と係合可能な位置に位置させることによって、容器本体５が装置本体31から不用意に外れることを適切に防止できる。 Further, the leg 16 is pivoted in one direction relative to the apparatus main body 31 so that the leg 16 is placed from the position where the leg 16 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 to the position where the leg engaging part 35 can be engaged. The leg 16 is slidably moved on the surface 37, and the leg 16 cannot be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 from the position where the leg 16 can be engaged with the leg engaging part 35 by rotating in the other direction of the container main body 5 with respect to the apparatus main body 31. Since the leg 16 is slidably moved on the leg mounting surface 37 to a certain position, the container body 5 is moved to the position where the leg engaging part 35 can be engaged with the container main body 5. It is possible to appropriately prevent accidental disconnection.

なお、被撹拌物は、食材等の固形物には限定されず、液体等でもよく、またミキサー装置１は家庭用であってもよい。 In addition, a to-be-stirred thing is not limited to solid substances, such as a foodstuff, A liquid etc. may be sufficient, and the mixer apparatus 1 may be for household use.

また、検知手段56は、光電センサには限定されず、例えば超音波センサ或いは近接センサ等でもよく、また非接触式のセンサではなく接触式のセンサでもよい。 The detection means 56 is not limited to a photoelectric sensor, and may be, for example, an ultrasonic sensor or a proximity sensor, and may be a contact type sensor instead of a non-contact type sensor.

さらに、検知手段56が検知する被検知手段20は、例えば容器本体５の後部に設けられた１つの突出部でもよい。 Further, the detected means 20 detected by the detecting means 56 may be, for example, one protrusion provided at the rear part of the container body 5.

また、容器本体５の脚部16の本数は、４本には限定されず、例えば４本以上でもよく、任意である。 Further, the number of the leg portions 16 of the container body 5 is not limited to four, and may be four or more, for example, and is arbitrary.

さらに、脚係合部35の弾性板47は、ねじ挿通用の切欠49を有するものには限定されず、例えば移動板46のねじ挿通孔45と同形状のねじ挿通孔を有するものでもよい。この場合、弾性板47を移動板46上から容易に取り外せるように、ねじ挿通孔に連続する切込みを形成することが好ましい。 Further, the elastic plate 47 of the leg engaging portion 35 is not limited to the one having the notch 49 for screw insertion, and may have, for example, a screw insertion hole having the same shape as the screw insertion hole 45 of the moving plate 46. In this case, it is preferable to form a cut continuous with the screw insertion hole so that the elastic plate 47 can be easily removed from the moving plate 46.

また、脚係合部35は、移動板46および弾性板47からなるものには限定されず、例えば弾性変形可能な弾性板47を有しないものでもよい。 Further, the leg engaging portion 35 is not limited to the one composed of the moving plate 46 and the elastic plate 47, and may not have the elastic plate 47 that can be elastically deformed, for example.
