CONSTITUTION:A vessel 9 is placed on a main body 10 housing a motor 2, and a cutter 8 is driven in a rotary motion by means of the motor 2 in the vessel 9. The opening of the vessel 9 is closed with a cover 11, and a switch for electrifying motor is set so that it is on when the cover 11 is pressed down. Further, a recessed part 20 recessed in a vertical direction is provided to the rear surface of the cover 11 facing the upper end face of the vessel 9, and a sealant 12 having an elasticity of compression in a vertical direction is provided to the above recessed part 20. As a result, sealing property between the cover and the vessel can be improved, and the sealant can be surely fixed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electric cooker that cuts vegetables, meat, etc. in a short time using a cutter that rotates within a container.

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional cooking appliances of this kind, in order to ensure a secure seal between the container and the lid, an elastic material such as rubber is attached to the outer periphery of the lid B that fits on the inner surface of the container A, as shown in FIG. A sealing material C having the following properties was provided.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the sealing material C is provided on the inner surface where the container and the lid B fit together, so that after the lid is completely fixed to the container, the motor power switch is turned on and off There is no problem with a type of cooker that uses a lid, but when you press the lid B with your hand, the lid B lowers and turns on the switch, and when you release your hand, the lid B automatically raises and the switch turns off. In the case of a container, since the lid B tightly fits into the container, the lid B cannot be moved up and down, so it could not be adopted. Further, there was a problem in that the sealing material C was turned over and removed due to sliding friction with the side wall of the container A.

In view of the above conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to improve the sealing performance between the lid and the container and to securely fix the sealing material in a cooking appliance in which a switch is controlled by pressing the lid. It is.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a recess in the vertical direction on the lower surface of the lid opposite to the upper end surface of the container, and provides elasticity in the recess to be compressed in the vertical direction. The configuration includes a sealing material having the following properties.

Effect According to the above structure, a vertical recess is provided on the lower surface of the lid opposite to the upper end surface of the container, and a sealing material having elasticity that is compressed in the vertical direction is provided in this recess, so that the lid can be held down by hand. When the sealant is compressed, the lid and container are sealed, the switch is turned on and the cutter inside the container rotates.Then, when you release your hand from the lid, the switch goes to 0FFL and the cutter stops. Even if liquid is stirred inside the container, the liquid will not leak from the top of the container during operation, and the switch can be turned on simply by pressing or releasing the lid with your hand.
, can be turned off. Furthermore, since the sealing material is pressed by the four parts when the lid is pressed, the sol material will not come off due to sliding friction with the container.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In Figures 1 to 4, 1 is the shaft of motor 2,
A pinion gear 3 is attached to the shaft 1. The pinion gear 3 drives the main shaft 6 via an output gear 4. A connector 6 is attached to the tip of the main shaft 5.

A cutter mount 7 is detachably attached to the connector 6. In this case, the upper part of the connector 6 fits into a groove provided in the cutter mount 7, so that the force of the motor 2 is transmitted. It has become. Two cutters 8, upper and lower, are attached to the cutter mount 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a container, which is detachable from the main body 10. A lid 11 is detachably provided on the container 9. Further, a vertical recess 20 is provided on the lower surface of the lid 11 facing the upper end surface of the container 9, and a packing seal material 12 made of an elastic material such as rubber or plastic is provided in this recess 2Q. The lid 11 is provided with a bulge 13, and a protrusion 14 is formed on the top surface of the bulge. A sliding plate 16 is provided on the main body top 15 and is operated by a projection 14 provided on the lid 11, and this sliding plate 16 corresponds to a push button 17. The push button 17 is pushed up by a spring 18, and the push button 17 is moved up and down by the protrusion 14 and the spring 18 to open a switch (
(not shown) is turned on and off.

Next, the operation of the cooking device will be explained. A cutter mounting base 7 with a container 9 attached to the main body 10 and a cutter 8 attached thereto.
into the connector 6. Next, the cutting material is put into the container 9, the container 9 is covered with the lid 11, and the upper surface of the lid 11 is pressed by hand. Then, the gasket 12 is compressed by the upper end surface of the container 9 and the lid 11, and the container 9 and the lid 11 are sealed, and the protrusion 14 provided on the inner top surface of the bulge 13 of the lid 11 passes through the sliding plate 16. Press down on the push button 1,
The switch leading to the motor 2 is turned on, the motor 2 rotates, and the rotation is transmitted to the cutter 8 to cut the cutting material. After cutting, when the hand holding the lid 11 is removed, the lid 11 is pushed up by the repulsive force of the spring 18 and gasket 120, and the push button 17 that turns on the switch is raised, turning the switch off. Furthermore, since the gasket 12 is pressed into the recess 20 of the lid 11 when the lid 11 is pressed, the gasket 12 will not come off due to sliding friction with the rag. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the inside of the recess 20
If thread ribs 21 are provided at several locations on one or both of the outer sides, even if the thickness of the packing 12 varies,
In order to make it easy to insert the packing 12 into the recess 20 and to remove the packing 12, a vertical recess is provided on the lower surface of the lid opposite to the upper end surface of the container, and a seal having elasticity that is compressed in the vertical direction into the recess is provided. The sealing material prevents the lid and container from coming off during operation, even in cookers where when you press the lid with your hand, the lid goes down and the switch turns on, and when you remove your hand, the lid goes up and the switch goes off. is sealed,
Furthermore, since the lid and container are not tightly fitted while the container is stopped, the lid can be easily attached and removed. Furthermore, even if the spring that presses the push button is damaged, the repulsive elastic force of the sealing material will lift the lid and turn off the switch, which is extremely effective in practical use.
