Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a motor driven cooker which has a high cutting ability and can be easily handled, by forming a substantial part of at least the outer peripheral end section of the upper surface of a rotary plate adapted to abut against a cutter attaching plate upon mounting of the latter, in a convex shape. CONSTITUTION:When a motor rotates a rotary plate 22 and an attaching plate 27, a food is sliced by a slice cutter 27a, then is discharged downward through a discharge port 22d, and is accumulated in a container 23. Since the surface of the rotary plate 22 which abuts against the attaching plate 27 upon fitting is convex, the rotational flatness of the convex part of the rotary plate 22 itself can be attained with a high degree of accuracy. As a result, the rotational flatness of the attaching plate 27 which is fitted to the rotary plate 22 can be attained with a high degree of accuracy. Accordingly, the food does not oscillate vertically, and as a result, it is possible to restrain the vibration during cutting as small as possible, and further, it is possible to restrain variations in thickness of sliced pieces to a lower value in the case of slicing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electric cooker for cutting vegetables and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of electric cooking appliance has a structure as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

That is, the container 3 is placed on top of the main body 2 containing the electric motor 1. A rotating shaft 4 interlocking with the electric motor 1 is passed through the container 3. Reference numeral 6 denotes a rotating plate that detachably engages with the rotating shaft 4 and operates in conjunction with the rotating shaft 4. 6 is the rotating plate 6
This is a cutter mounting plate that is removably fitted with a slicing cutter 7 for cutting vegetables and the like. A lid 9 having a material input port 8 is engaged above the container 3 . The rotary plate 6 and the cutter mounting plate 6 are brought into abutting engagement over substantially the entire planar surface a of both.

In the above configuration, when food such as vegetables is fed through the material input port 8 through the push rod 1° and the power switch (not shown) is turned on to operate, the electric motor 1 and cutter mounting plate 6 rotates to cut the slice cutter 7. Nyoshi food will be sliced. In addition, although the above description is about the cutter mounting plate 6 equipped with the slicing cutter 7, there are other types such as those with different slicing thicknesses, etc. There is a cutter mounting plate etc. equipped with a shredder cutter, and by attaching and detaching these to the rotary plate 5, several types of cutting and cooking are possible.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional engagement between the rotating plate and the cutter mounting plate,
Because the rotating plane of the cutter mounting plate tends to run out, it is difficult to obtain uniform and good cutting.
There was a problem that the resistance was large when pushing in at 0, making it difficult to use.

Since the contact between the rotary plate 5 and the cutter mounting plate 6 is made on almost the entire surface of the planar shape of both disks, flatness accuracy with respect to the rotational axis is required. However, in particular, the rotating plate 5 had to be made of resin due to its shape, and the flatness of the entire surface of the rotating plate 5 was poor. In addition, when using several types of cutter mounting plates as described above, when a different cutter mounting plate is set and fitted to the rotary plate 6 after cutting, cutting waste such as vegetables may get caught in the contact surfaces of both. Either it was not possible to fit the parts in a complete set, or even if they could be set, the surface would run out with respect to the rotational axis. If the machine is operated under such conditions, the cutter mounting plate e will be subject to significant surface deflection.
In response to the pushing force exerted by the pushing rod 1o, a force pushing upward through the food is generated, causing a large vibration in the hand. In addition, since the food moves up and down, the vibration of the main body 2 is large, and the cutter mounting plate is approximately 2000 to 3000 r.
Because it rotates at such high speeds as pm, the thickness of food chips tends to be uneven.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain an electric cooker that has good cutting performance and is easy to use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is such that at least a large part of the outer peripheral end of the upper surface of the rotary plate that comes into contact when the cutter mounting plate is attached is made convex.

Effects The present invention has the above-described configuration, which reduces the contact surface between the rotary plate and the cutter mounting plate, so that the flatness accuracy of the rotary plate can be particularly improved, and the cutter can be cut with almost no surface runout with respect to the rotation axis. The mounting plate will rotate.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

As shown in the figure, there is a main body 20, a drive motor 21 installed in the main body, a container 23 containing a rotary plate 22 rotated by the drive motor 21, and an upper opening of the container 23 covered with food. A lid 25 equipped with a material input port 24, a push rod 26 that is inserted into the material input port 24 and pushes the food downward, and a slice cutter 27-a that is detachably attached to the rotary plate 22. A cutter mounting plate 27 is provided. The outer peripheral end 22 of the upper surface of the rotary plate 22 comes into contact when the cutter mounting plate 27 is attached.
-a and the vicinity of each hole 22-b and the vicinity of the center of rotation 2
2-C is made slightly convex. The rotary plate 22 also has a discharge port 22-d for discharging the food downward after cutting.

Further, the mounting plate 2 having the slice cutter 27-a
In addition to 7, there are mounting plates with different slicing thicknesses, mounting plates with chopping cutters (not shown), etc., and by removably fitting these onto the rotary plate 22, several types of cutting can be performed. Cooking is possible.

In the above configuration, the operation will be explained.

When food such as vegetables is supplied from the material input port 24 using the push rod 7 and the power switch (not shown) is turned on to operate, the rotation of the electric motor 21 causes the mounting plate 27 to rotate together with the rotary plate 22, and the slice cutter 27-a rotates the mounting plate 27. The food is sliced, discharged downward through the discharge port 22-d, and collected in the container 23.

Furthermore, since the abutting surfaces of the rotary plate 22 and the mounting plate 27 when attached are convex, the rotational flatness of the convex portion of the rotary plate 22 itself can be easily achieved with high accuracy, and as a result, the rotation plate 22 and the mounting plate 2
The rotational flatness of the mounting plate 27 in the state in which the mounting plate 7 is attached can also be highly accurate. Therefore, since the food does not move up and down on the surface of the mounting plate 27 during cutting, vibration during cutting can be kept low, and when slicing, it is possible to suppress variations in slice thickness.

Furthermore, when replacing the attachment plate with another accessory, it is difficult for previously cut food crumbs (small pieces) to get caught between the rotary plate 22 and the attachment plate, making it easy to attach. The rotational flatness of the mounting plate surface can also be maintained.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the rotational flatness of the mounting plate surface can be easily made highly accurate, and it is difficult for foreign matter to get mixed in between the rotating plate and the mounting plate. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the vertical movement of the food on the mounting plate surface during cutting, and as a result, it is possible to provide an electric cooker that reduces vibration during cutting and has less variation in the thickness direction of the food being cut. .

Furthermore, since the outer peripheral end portion is a convex surface, the convex surface serves as a reinforcing rib, and the strength of the rotating plate itself can be improved.
