Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a mixer for grinding vegetables, legumes, six fruits, etc. at home, and a mixer device for making soup, gojiru (soup made from crushed soybeans), jam, etc. .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a household mixer 26 shown in FIG. 6 has been used to grind vegetables, beans, fruits, etc. together with water to make soups, soups, jams, etc. at home.

In this method, vegetables, soybeans, fruits, etc. are placed in a cup container 26 with an appropriate amount of water, the rotary cutter 27 is operated, and the rotary cutter 27 is operated to crush them for several minutes.Then, the vegetables, soybeans, fruits, etc. are placed in a cup container 26, which is separated from the mixer 26, and stirred by hand. It was something to do.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Vegetables, beans, fruits, etc. can be crushed more easily if they are heated at an appropriate temperature (varies depending on the material and cooking), and then crushed after being supplied with water. However, with conventional home mixers, the ingredients are heated in a pot, then transferred to the mixer and pulverized.
1. It is necessary to return the ingredients to the pot again, which is time-consuming. In addition, when pulverizing with a mixer from the beginning, there was a problem that pulverization had to be carried out for a long time in order to obtain fine pulverization. In addition, when making soup, gojiru 8 jam, etc., there was a problem in that the viscosity was high, so it had to be stirred from time to time to prevent the bottom of the pot from burning.

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems, and the second purpose is to provide a mixer that can crush vegetables, beans, fruits, etc. in a pot in a short time.
The third object of the present invention is to provide a mixer device that can easily make jam and the like, and a third object is to provide a mixer device that does not cause the bottom of the pot to burn.

Means to Solve the Problem The first means to achieve the first objective is to use a rotary cutter that crushes vegetables, beans, fruits, etc. in water by placing it in a pot.
The shaft is held by a bearing, the shaft seal is held by an outer cylindrical body,
A plurality of protrusions projecting outward cover the rotary cutter at the tip of the outer casing.

A cover body is provided at the lower end with a suction port for sucking the material inside and a discharge port above the suction port for discharging the material to the outside.The other end of the outer cylindrical body has a built-in drive motor. The mixer is connected to the main body case, and the drive motor shaft is connected to the shaft of the rotational power lid via a meshing coupling.

The second step to achieve the second purpose is to create a mixer device in which a rotatable and telescopic arm is provided on the case or the outer cylinder, and the mixer is fixed to the pot by this arm. . A third means for achieving the third object is to provide a mixer device having a configuration in which a circuit for continuously rotating the single-turn cutter and a circuit for rotating it intermittently are provided to make the intermittent cycle variable.

According to the first method of operation, a rotary cutter is placed in a pot along with vegetables, fruits, beans, etc. cut into appropriate sizes, water, and seasonings, etc., and when operation is started, the rotary cutter is driven by the drive motor. ) The material rotates at high speed, and when the material is sucked from the suction port at the bottom of the cover body and crushed by the rotating cutter, the material is discharged from the outlet due to the force ≧, and the so-called "bumping" effect causes the material to circulate and the water to circulate. The materials are ground into pieces. At this time, the protrusion provided on the cover body prevents the water from swirling, and the water and material are sucked toward the center, that is, toward the rotating cutter, which further enhances the bombing action and crushes the material regardless of the shape of the pot. can be done in a short time. In addition, the pumping action of the rotary cutter does not cause the cover body Vc pot to be sucked and the pot to rotate. Second
According to this method, the mixer can be securely fixed to the rotatable and telescopic arm provided on the main body case or the outer cylinder, so there is no need to hold the mixer main body with one hand during grinding.

Next, when the pulverized material and water in the pot are further heated by the third means, when the mixer switch is turned on intermittently, the rotary cutter is intermittently rotated by the drive motor, and the water in the pot is heated. Since the ingredients are stirred, the ingredients will not stick to the bottom of the pot. The intermittent cycle can be varied depending on the size of the cooking pan, so there is no need to over-stir.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a rotary cutter, whose shaft portion 2 is held by an outer cylindrical body 6 via a bearing 3 and a shaft seal body 4. At the tip of the outer cylindrical body 6, there is a plurality of protrusions 6 protruding outward on the outer periphery to overturn the rotary cutter 1, a suction lower for sucking the material inside, and a suction port above the suction port. A cover body 9 having eight discharge ports for discharging the material to the outside is provided. The other end of the outer cylindrical body 6 is connected to a main body case 11 housing a drive motor 10 therein.

The shaft of the drive motor 10 is connected via the coupling 12,
It is connected to the shaft portion 2 of the rotary cutter 1. Reference numeral 13 denotes an arm provided on the main body case 11, which is composed of a rotating part 14 and an extendable part 16, and can be fixed to the pot 16 by rotating and extending and contracting, regardless of the size and shape of the pot. This arm 1
3 may be provided on the outer cylinder body 6. 17 is a stove for heating the pot 16. Note that the pot 16 also includes a bowl.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, a switch 18 has a continuous operation switch 19 and an intermittent operation switch 2o, and the intermittent operation switch 20 has a controller 21 for varying the intermittent cycle. .

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained.

First, put vegetables, fruits, beans, etc. cut into appropriate sizes, water, seasonings, etc. into the pot 16, fix the mixer to the pot 16 with the rotatable and telescoping arm 13, and remove any force such as Place on stove 17 and heat the ingredients. After the water temperature reaches the appropriate temperature (varies depending on ingredients and cooking).

When the switch 18 is turned on to the continuous operation switch 2o, the rotary cutter 1 is driven by the drive motor 1o to rotate at high speed, and the material is sucked from the suction lower under the cover body 9 and crushed by the rotary cutter 1, and then the material is pulverized at the discharge port 8. is discharged from. Due to the so-called bombing effect, the material and water cycle back and forth,
Sequentially, the materials are finely ground. At this time, cover body 1
The protrusion 6 provided on the cutter prevents the water from swirling, and the water and material are sucked toward the center, that is, toward the rotary cutter 1.
The pumping action can be further enhanced, and the material in the pot 1e can be pulverized in a short time without moving the mixer. Further, due to the bumping action of the rotary cutter 1, the pot 16 is attracted to the cover body 9, and the pot 16 does not rotate.

When further heating the crushed material and water in the pot 16, the mixer switch 18 is set to the intermittent operation switch 2o, and the rotary cutter 1 is intermittently rotated by the drive motor 1o. Since the ingredients inside are stirred, the eddy current will not cause the ingredients to burn.

Since the intermittent cycle can be varied by the controller 21 that changes one intermittent cycle, there is no possibility of over-stirring depending on the type of cooking.

In the above embodiments, the coupling 12 is a meshing coupling, but other coupling mechanisms such as a magnetic coupling may be used.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention can provide a mixer that can crush materials in a short time by inserting a rotary cutter into a pot or the like, regardless of the shape of the pot, by the first means. By the second means.

Since the mixer body can be fixed to the pot, there is no need to hold the mixer by hand during grinding.Furthermore, by using the third method, you can easily make soup, gou soup, jam, etc. without the ingredients sticking to the bottom of the pot during heating. We can provide a mixer device that can.
