Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is used to cut materials such as vegetables using a cutter that rotates in a container that is removably placed on the main body. This invention relates to a cooking device that prevents cut material from scattering onto the container mounting surface of the main body even when the material is highly viscous.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional cooking device of this kind is shown in FIG. 10, in which a shaft cover 5 is integrally provided on a rotating shaft 4 which is rotated by an electric motor 1 via gears 2 and 3. The material to be cut, such as vegetables, placed in a container 8 that is removably attached to the container mounting surface 7 of the main body 6 is cut into a cutting board 9 that is rotated by the rotating shaft 4.
Cut by cutters 10 and 11 fixed to
After cutting is completed, the lid 12 of the container 8 is removed, the cutter base 9 is removed from the rotation 4 along with the cutters 10 and 11, the container 8 is further removed from the main body 6, and the cut items are transferred to other tableware and served as food. was.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of such a cooker, the rotating shaft 4
Since the shaft cover 5 and the shaft cover 5 are integrated, if the material to be cut in the container 8 is a highly viscous material such as yam, the shaft cover 5 will be lower than the bottom surface 8A of the container 8 when it goes around as shown by the arrow. Since it rotates at a relatively distant position, the cut material is blown away from the tip of the shaft cover 5 and onto the upper surface of the container mounting surface 7 of the main body 6, and when the amount becomes large,
There was a problem in that it got caught between the shaft cover 5 and the bottom surface 7, making cleaning difficult.

[Means for solving problems]

This proposal eliminates the above-mentioned problems.According to the present proposal, there is a main body with a built-in electric motor, a container that is removably placed on this main body, and a rotating shaft that is rotated by the electric motor in this container via a rotating shaft. In the device comprising a driven cutter and a lid that covers an upper opening of the container, a shaft cover is attached to the rotating shaft so as to be rotatable about the rotating shaft, and the main body is placed between the container and the shaft cover. The shaft cover is located close to the bottom surface of the container, and the diameter of the shaft cover is larger than the diameter of the central fitting portion with respect to the rotation axis of the container.

[Effect]

In the case of a cooker with the above structure, even if the material to be cut by the cutter is a highly viscous material such as yam, it may wrap around between the shaft cover and the bottom of the container as in conventional ones. Even if something like this were to happen, the shaft cover itself is rotatable around the rotating shaft and is placed close to the bottom of the container, so the viscosity of the cut material will prevent the shaft cover from sticking to the bottom of the container. Since the shaft cover is fixed in place, the cut material will not be blown away from the tip of the shaft cover and splashed onto the container mounting surface of the main body.

〔Example〕

An embodiment shown in the drawings will be described below. 2
Reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the cooker, and an electric motor 22 is provided inside. A container 24 is removably provided on the container mounting surface 23 of the main body 21. A rotating shaft 27 is integrally formed on a large gear 26 that meshes with a small gear 25 rotated by an electric motor 22, and projects into the container 24 through a central opening 28 of the container mounting surface 23 of the main body 21. .

A cylindrical rising portion 30 is provided at the center of the bottom surface 29 of the container 24, and the rotating shaft 2
It surrounds 7. Reference numeral 31 denotes a cutter stand which is detachable from the rotating shaft 27 and has an annular recess 3.
2 surrounds the rising portion 30. 3
3 and 34 indicate cutters fixed to the cutter stand 31, respectively. A removable lid 35 is provided on the top of the container 24.

A large diameter portion 36 is provided below the rotating shaft 27,
A disk-shaped shaft cover 38 is placed on the shoulder portion 37 formed by the large diameter portion so as to be rotatable with respect to the rotating shaft 27 . The position of the shoulder portion 37 is selected so that when the shaft cover 38 is placed in this manner, the shaft cover 38 is close to the bottom surface of the container 24 and is provided between the main body and the container.

A rib 39 is provided on the outer periphery of the shaft cover 38 and extends downward in the figure.

Next, the relationship between the shaft cover 38 and the bottom surface of the main body and the bottom surface of the container will be explained with reference to FIG.

That is, in FIG. 2, the diameter of the shaft cover 38 is A, the diameter of the central fitting part 40 formed by the rising part 30 of the bottom surface 29 of the container is B, and the diameter of the opening 28 of the container mounting surface 23 of the main body is C. When A＞
B, A>C.

In the cooker of this invention constructed in this way, the cutting action of the material to be cut is no different from the conventional one, so the details will be omitted. It enters between the rising part 30 of the container 24 and the rotating shaft 27, and furthermore, the bottom surface 29 of the container 24 and the shaft cover 38
It is pushed out between.

However, in the present invention, the shaft cover 38 is rotatably provided with respect to the rotating shaft 27, and is located close to the bottom surface of the container 24, and furthermore, the outer diameter A of the shaft cover 38 is arranged so as to fit in the center of the rising portion 30 of the container. Since it is larger than the diameter B of the joining part 40, the third
As shown in the figure, the shaft cover 38 sticks and is fixed to the bottom surface 29 of the container 24 due to the viscosity of the cut material P, so that the cut material P flies onto the container mounting surface 23 of the main body 21. It is not stopped.

In addition, since the shaft cover 38 is provided with the ribs 39 as described above on the outer periphery and its outer diameter A is larger than the diameter C of the central opening 28 of the bottom surface 23 of the main body 21, the cut material P will be removed from the main body 21. Even if the material P falls onto the container mounting surface 23 of the container, even if it falls onto the main body 21 from the central opening 28, this material P will not enter the inside of the main body 21 from the central opening 28.

Next, in FIG. 4, the shaft cover 38 is in contact with the shoulder 37 of the rotating shaft 27, and by providing a flange 41 at this portion and making the bottom of the flange convexly curved 42, the upper surface of the shoulder 37 is On the other hand, as the amount of slip increases, the height of the shaft cover increases by the portion H of the flange 41, and the cut material does not leak from the small gap G between the flange 41 and the rotating shaft 27.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, by providing the flanges 41 in the vertical direction of the shaft cover 38, the height of the shaft cover becomes even higher, and the effect of preventing leakage of cutting material becomes even greater.

Figures 6, 7, and 8 show the shaft cover 38.
In other embodiments, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the surface of the flange 41 facing the rotating shaft 27 is provided with a tapered portion 43 that tapers downwardly, and FIG. FIG. 8 shows an example in which tapered portions 44 and 45 are provided, and FIG. 8 shows a tapered portion 45 that expands downward.
In each example, the rotating shaft 27 is shown.
The portion adjacent to the shaft cover is small, so that even if the rotating shaft 27 rotates, the shaft cover can sufficiently maintain a stopped state.

Further, FIG. 9 shows an example in which a cap 47 is press-fitted into the rotating shaft 27 close to above the shaft cover 38, so that the shaft cover 38 will not come off and be lost during use.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if the cut material enters between the upright part of the container and the rotating shaft and is further pushed out between the bottom surface of the container and the shaft cover, the shaft cover will not touch the bottom surface of the container. Because the viscosity of this material sticks and fixes the material, the cut material will not be blown off by the shaft cover onto the container mounting surface of the main body, and there will be no space between the shaft cover and the container mounting surface of the main body. To provide a cooking utensil that can be easily cleaned after cooking without causing any contamination.
