Furthermore, it is characterized by having a water inlet for injecting water into the container and a drain port for discharging water to the outside of the container.

[Function] With the electric peeler according to the present invention, the rotating brush makes frictional contact with the surface of the spherical root vegetables such as potatoes that are freely rolling in the container, and the epidermis can be peeled off.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of an electric peeler according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The electric peeler 10 shown in FIG.
The main body 11 includes a cylindrical container 12 placed on top of the container 1 and a lid 13 that covers the upper opening of the container 12. The main body 11 has a built-in electric motor 14.

The main body 11 has an upper wall 11a forming a recess in the center of the upper surface.
An opening 11c having a cylindrical portion 11b projecting upward is formed in the center of the upper wall 11a. A mounting portion li is provided on the outer periphery of the opening 11c on the back surface of the upper wall 11a.
d is formed, and the electric motor 1 is attached to this mounting portion lid.
4 is installed. A shaft connecting member 15 having an enlarged diameter portion 15a at the lower end is attached to the tip portion of the rotating shaft 14a protruding from the opening 11c, and a brush assembly 20 is detachably attached to the shaft connecting member 15.

At the center of the bottom 12a of the container 12, there is a cylindrical portion 1 that projects upward.
An opening 12c having a diameter of 2b is formed.

The brush assembly 20 has a cylindrical shaft portion 21 into which the shaft connecting member 15 is inserted, and a peripheral wall portion 22 that rises from the middle of the cylindrical shaft portion 21 and is bent and extends parallel to the cylindrical shaft portion 21. A recess 23 is formed between the cylindrical shaft portion 21 and the peripheral wall portion 22. The brush assembly 20 also has a tip end attached to the container 12.
A brush 24 is disposed at a constant distance (gap A) from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 12ti, and has a base embedded in the peripheral wall 22. The brush 24 is a flexible thin rod-shaped brush structure made of synthetic resin fibers such as nylon.
A plurality of them are densely arranged, and are attached radially over the entire circumference of the side surface of the peripheral wall portion 22, and the same plane is arranged in a disk shape, and in layers above and below.

Note that the gap A is set to 20 mm < A < 50 mm, which is larger than the radius of the potato that is considered to be the smallest, and smaller than the diameter of the potato.

Therefore, the potatoes in the container 12 can easily roll. Further, the tip of the brush structure constituting the brush 24 has a sharp cut surface.

Then, the upper part of the main body 11 is fitted inside the lower end of the peripheral wall 12d of the container 12, and the expanded diameter portion 15a covers the cylindrical portion 11b, and the rotating shaft 14a to which the shaft connecting member 15 is attached is projected into the container 12 from the opening 12c. and insert the cylindrical part 1 into the recess 23.
2b, and the brush assembly 20 is attached to the shaft connecting member 15. The installed brush assembly 20 is connected to the electric motor 14
rotation within the container 12.

Next, the operation of the electric peeler having the above configuration will be explained.

Put a plurality of potatoes as ingredients into the container 12 and close the lid 1.
3, turn on the electric peeler 10 and turn on the electric motor 14.
drive. The brush assembly 2 is rotated by the rotation of the electric motor 14.
0 rotates, and at the same time, the brush 24 collides with the potatoes due to the rotational force of the brush assembly 2o, and the potatoes are repelled by the tip or side of the tip portion of the brush 24 and roll out within the container 12. At the same time as the potato rotates, the tip or the side surface of the tip portion of the brush 24 continuously collides and rubs against the outer skin of the potato, and the outer skin gradually peels off.

In this way, the brush 24, which has the tip of the brush structure formed with a sharp cut surface and has a certain degree of flexibility at the tip, can peel off the skin on the outer surface of a potato, which has complicated irregularities, in a short time.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, by forming the brush assembly 25 in which the brushes 24 are spirally arranged downward with respect to the rotation direction, the brush assembly 2 can be simply arranged radially.
Compared to 0, the potatoes can be pressed against the lower part of the container 12 more effectively.

Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the problem that occurs when potatoes are rolled and jumps upward and reduces the timing of contact with the brush 24.

Moreover, rather than making the length of each brush 24 constant and the distance to the gap constant, the length of each brush 24 from the tip to the inner surface of the circumferential wall 12d of the container 12 is set within the range where the gap A is 20 mm < A < 50 mm. By forming the brushes to have various lengths and changing the gap A, it is possible to disperse the contact force that the tip of the brush 24 applies to each part of the potato, making it possible to peel more uniformly.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a water inlet 16 is provided at the top of the lid 13, and a drain port 17 is provided on an extension of the bottom surface 12a at the bottom of the container 12. Water can be poured into the container from 16 and discharged from the drain port 17, allowing running water to flow into the container.

Therefore, in addition to being able to accelerate the peeling of the potato skin, it is also possible to simultaneously wash the potato after peeling. Note that the water inlet 16 may be provided not only in the lid 13 but also in the upper part of the container 12.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, since the electric peeling machine according to the present invention has the above configuration, it can peel spherical root vegetables such as potatoes in a short time with an extremely simple structure. I can do it.
