Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply judge the finish of a cooked object at a glance of the fluctuation of a hook body by providing a shaft hole at the center section of the cover of a cup, and integrally connecting the hook body and a floating detecting plate arranged above and below the cover to a rotatable shaft penetrating it. CONSTITUTION:A cover 15 with a nearly W-shaped cross section is removably provided on a cup 11, a projection 15b with a shaft hole 15d at its center is provided at the center section, and a recess 15a with many holes 15c is formed on its outside. A circular plate with blades 17 is arranged at the necessary height in response to the type and quantity of a cooked object below the cover 15, and a hook body 19 is arranged on the cover 15. The circular plate with blades 17 and the hook body 19 are integrally connected by a rotatable shaft 16 penetrating the shaft hole 15d. The circular plate with blades 17 is lifted to the upper limit in contact with the lifting liquid surface of the cooked object while blades 17a are rotated by a stirring stream. The action of the circular plate with blades 17 is transferred to the hook body 19 as it is, and the finish timing of cooking can be judged by observing the rotary rise of the hook body 19.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a food mixer having a function of automatically determining changes in liquid level in kelp.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of food mixer has been used to make frozen desserts in the following manner, for example.

As shown in Figure 3, water, peach slices, egg whites, fresh cream, sugar, ice, and other cooking materials are placed in a cup 1, and the cutter 2 at the bottom of the cup 1 rotates at high speed to crush and stir. do. After that, pour the gelatin solution dissolved in hot water into the recess formed in the lid 3, pour it into the hole 3a in the center of the recess of the lid 3, stir at the same time, turn off the power, take out the food, and let it harden naturally. That's how he worked. On this occasion,
The timing of turning off the power was a key factor in determining the quality of the food, but this judgment was made by looking at the liquid level of the food through the hole 3a in the center of the recess of the lid 3 and observing changes in the liquid level during cooking. I made a decision and turned off the power.

During the above-mentioned stirring, the volume and viscosity of the cooked food increase due to the action of the egg white and gelatin solution, that is, the foaming action of the egg white and the coagulation action of the gelatin solution as it cools. Inside, as the liquid level rises, the stirring flow on the surface weakens and the liquid level becomes flat. Cooking is best when the liquid level has risen completely, the agitation flow on the surface has stopped, and the condition is flat. Check this condition visually through the hole 3a in the lid 3 and turn off the power. Ta.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, it is difficult to accurately judge changes in the surface of the food by visual inspection alone through the hole in the lid, and cooking often fails due to timing errors.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned failures,
Therefore, by focusing on the change in the state of the cooked food in the pot during stirring, the present invention provides a cooking utensil that allows anyone to easily and reliably judge the state of the cooked food.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shaft hole in the center of the lid of the kelp, arranges a locking body and a floating detection plate above and below the lid, and installs a shaft hole in the shaft hole. The locking body and the floating detection plate are integrally connected by a shaft that passes through the shaft and is freely rotatable.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, the cooked food in the kelp whose volume and viscosity have increased due to stirring comes into contact with the floating detection plate disposed below the lid while the liquid level is rising, and the floating food is detected. Push up the board. Since the locking body above the lid is integrally connected to the floating detection plate, fluctuations in the floating detection plate directly result in fluctuations in the locking body. therefore,
The timing for turning off the power is determined by observing the movement of the locking body.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, an electric motor 7 is included in the main body 6.
connector A with a claw provided on the top of the main body 5.
6i is fixed to the shaft portion of the electric motor 7. Further, on the upper part of the main body 5, a tip part 9 which is detachably engaged with the main body 6 is placed, and furthermore, the tip part 9 has a tip stand 1o at the lower part, and a tip 11 made of glass or plastic material can be attached and detached. It is set up.

A connector B12 that removably engages with the connector A6 is arranged in the center of the tip 1Q, and is fixed to the main shaft 13.

A substantially cross-shaped cutter 14 is crimped onto the upper part of the main shaft 13.

A lid 15 having a substantially W-shaped cross section is detachably provided on the top of the tip 11, and a convex portion 15bt having a shaft hole 15d in the center is provided in the center of the lid 15, and a number of holes are provided on the outside thereof. 1
A recess 15a having a diameter of 5c'i is formed.

A bladed disc 17 is placed below the lid 16 for cooking (not shown).
Place the legs and lids at the required height according to the type and amount.16
A locking body 19 is arranged above. and shaft hole 15
The bladed disk 1T and the locking body 19 are integrally connected by a rotatable shaft 16 that passes through d.

To explain the operation of the above configuration, the frozen dessert food placed in the pot 11 is pulverized and agitated by the cutter 14 which is driven by the electric motor 7 and rotates via the connectors A, B, 6, 12 and the main shaft 13.

Thereafter, a gelatin solution dissolved in hot water is forced into the hole 15C of the recess 15a of the lid 15 and stirring is continued. As a result, the cooked food begins to melt and increase its viscosity due to the action of the egg white and gelatin liquid contained therein, and the liquid level within the kelp 11 begins to rise and the stirring flow begins to decrease.

The bladed disc 1 was set near the upper limit of the liquid level rise.
7 rises to the upper limit while rotating the blade 17a, which is provided facing the rising liquid level and in contact with the rising liquid level, by the stirring flow. The operation of the bladed disk 17 remains the same, and the lid 1
5 is transmitted to the locking body 19 above the locking body 190.
Check the increase in rotation, and the timing when the rotation stops increasing is the timing when the cooking is done.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which a floating detection plate 20 is used instead of the bladed disk 17 described above.

The basics of this operation are the same as in the example of the invention described above, but when the viscosity of the type of food is low, the sensitivity of the liquid level rise and rotation of the bladed disc 1γ is reduced due to the disc's own weight.
It is a floating body that has buoyancy with respect to the food to be cooked and prevents a decrease in sensitivity.

As described above, according to the structure of the lid 15 according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to easily know whether the food is ready by looking at the locking member 19 above the lid 15.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the optimum cooking result, that is, the rise in the liquid level in the pot, is detected by the movement of the locking body, and the food is removed from the lid hole as in the conventional case. There are no mistakes caused by misjudgment, and anyone can easily enjoy delicious cooking by providing an extremely useful food mixer.
