BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking device that cooks food in a container by rotating a disc-shaped cutting section placed inside the container using a drive motor.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a cooking device shown in FIG. 4 has been known as such a cooking device.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body incorporating a drive motor (not shown), and a container 3 is removably placed on the upper surface 2 of the main body 1. The main body 1 is provided with a drive shaft 4 that is rotationally driven by a drive motor, and the drive shaft 4 protrudes from the top surface 2, penetrates the bottom 5 of the container 3, and enters into the container 3. A disc-shaped grated cutter 6 that is rotated by a drive shaft 4 is provided inside the container 3.
This grater cutter 6 has a rotary table 7 that is detachably attached to the drive shaft 4 and constitutes a central portion, and a grater main body 8 that is detachably attached to the rotary table 7 and constitutes a peripheral portion. ing.

[0004] The upper surface 7a of the rotary table 7 and the upper surface 8a of the grating section main body 8 are substantially flush with each other, and a grating blade 9 is formed on these upper surfaces 7a, 8a. As shown in FIG. 5, the grater blades 9 are lined up in a straight line at the diametrical position of the grater cutter 6, and the rows thereof are arranged radially. In addition, 1
a is a lid.

[0005] For example, when making grated radish, the radish is cut into rounds of appropriate size and placed in the container 3, and the grated cutter 6 is rotated, so that the grated blade 9 scrapes off the radish R and the radish is grated.

By the way, when the grated cutter 6 is rotated, the radish R in the container 3 is pressed against the inner circumferential wall 3a of the container 3 due to the centrifugal force generated when the grated cutter 6 rotates, and the radish R is pushed against the inner wall 3a of the container 3 in the rotational direction of the grated cutter 6. While rotating in the clockwise direction (see arrow A in the figure), it rotates in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) (see arrow B in the figure). Therefore, the faster the radish R rotates, the greater the force it receives from the grated blade 9, and the shorter the time it takes to grate the radish.

[0007]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the grated blade 9 on the top surface 7a of the rotary table 7 contacts the radish R and is actively trying to rotate the daikon R, the grated blade 9 on the top surface 7a is on the extension line of the grated blade 9 on the top surface 7a. Grating part body 8 close to the fulcrum P of rotation
The grated blade 9 on the upper surface 8a also contacts the radish R at the same time and gives an impact (see arrow C in the figure), causing the fulcrum P of rotation to move. For this reason, there was a problem in that the force that promotes rotation is less likely to act on the radish R, which prevents shortening of the cooking time.

[0008] This invention was made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to shorten the cooking time without slowing down the force that promotes rotation on the radish R. Our goal is to provide the best cooking equipment.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a cooking appliance according to the present invention includes a main body having a built-in drive motor and a container removably placed on a mounting surface of the main body, A cooking device that cooks food in the container by rotating a disc-shaped cutting part arranged in the container by the drive motor, wherein the cutting part is formed at a diametrical position in the center. It is characterized by having an inner cutter and an outer cutter formed at a diametric position on the outer circumference excluding the direction in which the inner cutter extends.

0010

[Operation] With the cooking device having the above configuration, when the cutting part rotates, the food to be cooked in the container revolves in the rotational direction of the cutting part and rotates in the opposite direction, but the inner blade of the cutting part rotates in the opposite direction. When the food to be cooked is actively trying to rotate by contacting the object, the fulcrum of rotation will not be moved because the outer cutter is not provided on the extension line of the inner cutter. Therefore, the force that promotes rotation does not slow down the action on the food to be cooked.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the cooking appliance according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a cooking device, and 11 is a cooking device.
is a main body with a built-in drive motor (not shown). Main body 1
1 is formed with a mounting surface 13 on which a container 12 is removably mounted. Inside the container 12, a rotating shaft 14 that is rotationally driven by a drive motor passes through the bottom 15 of the container 12 and enters the container 12, and a grated cutter 20 is detachably attached to the rotating shaft 14. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the grating cutter 20 includes a rotary table 21 which is detachably attached to the rotary shaft 14 and constitutes a central portion, and a rotary table 21 which is detachably attached to the rotary table 21 and constitutes a peripheral portion. It has a grated part main body 22.

The rotary table 21 is integrally formed with a cylindrical portion 24 having a circular top plate portion 23 and a lower surface of the top plate portion 23, and
It has a bearing portion 25 that is detachably attached to the rotating shaft 14. A row of grating blades (inner blades) 26 are formed on the top surface of the top plate portion 23 at diametrical positions.

The grate main body 22 has a circular opening 2 in the center.
It is formed in the shape of a hollow disk having a circular opening 27.
By fitting the top plate part 23 from above and attaching the rotary table 21 to the top plate part 23, the top surface becomes substantially flush with the top plate part 23. On the upper surface, a plurality of rows of grating blades (outer blades) 28 are formed radially arranged at diametrical positions except in the direction in which the grating blades 26 extend. The grating section main body 22 is positioned and fixed at a fixed position by engaging the engagement protrusion 21a of the rotary table 21 with the engagement hole 22a.

A disk-shaped rotating body 29 is formed by the grating section main body 22 and the top plate section 23, and this rotating body 29 functions as a cutting section. 30 is a recess into which a finger is inserted when removing the grated cutter 20.

Further, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 31 is a lid, and when the lid 31 is pressed, the protrusion 31a turns on a switch (not shown) provided in the convex portion 32 of the main body 11, and the drive motor is operated, and the grated cutter 20 is turned on. rotates.

Next, the operation of the cooking appliance having the above structure will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, sliced radish (to be cooked) R is placed in a container 12. Subsequently, the covered lid 31 is pressed to turn on the switch, and the drive motor is activated to rotate the grated cutter 20. By the rotation of the grated cutter 20, the grated blades 26 and 28 scrape off the radish R and grate the radish.

By the way, when the grated cutter 20 starts to rotate, the radish R moves to the outside of the rotating body 29 due to the action of centrifugal force and is pressed against the inner circumferential wall 12a of the container 12. Therefore, when the grated cutter 20 rotates clockwise, for example, the radish R revolves clockwise around the rotation center of the grated cutter 20 (see arrow A in the figure), and at the same time, the radish R rotates inside. It repeats counterclockwise rotation (see arrow B in the figure) using the contact point P in contact with the peripheral wall 12a as a fulcrum.

[0021] Then, when the grated blade 26 of the top plate portion 23 comes into contact with the radish R and tries to actively rotate the radish R,
Since the grater blade 29 is not provided on the extension line of the grater blade 26 on the surface of the grater main body 22, there is no impact (see arrow C in the figure) that moves the contact point P, which is the fulcrum of rotation of the radish R. It does not join Radish R. Therefore, when the grating blade 26 on the surface of the top plate 23 reaches the line L connecting the contact point P and the rotation axis 14, the moment to rotate it counterclockwise becomes the minimum, but it is the fulcrum of rotation. Contact P
does not shift forward in the direction of revolution, and does not slow down its rotational motion.

Therefore, the faster the radish R rotates, the greater the force it receives from the grated blades 26 and 28, and the shorter the time it takes to grate the radish, making it possible to shorten the cooking time.

The grater blades 26 are not limited to one row, but may be formed in a plurality of radial rows. In this case, the grater blades 28 are arranged except in the extending direction of each row of the grater blades 26. Furthermore, although the grating cutter 20 has a rotary table 21 and a grating section main body 22 that are separate bodies, they may be integrated into a disc-shaped one. In this case, the boundary between the inner cutter and the outer cutter is provided, for example, at a substantially mid-radial position of the rotating body.

[0024]

Effects of the Invention The cooking device according to the present invention includes a main body having a built-in drive motor and a container that is removably placed on the mounting surface of the main body, and includes a disc-shaped cutting machine placed in the container. The cooking device rotates the cutting part by the drive motor to cook the food in the container, the cutting part having an inner cutter formed at a diametrical position in the center, and an extension of the inner cutter. It is characterized by having an outer cutter formed at a diametric position on the outer periphery excluding the direction.

[0025] Therefore, the cooking time can be shortened without slowing down the force that promotes rotation on the radish.
