Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a rotary cooker capable of performing cutting operation without any problem even in the case of small capacity. CONSTITUTION:A cylindrical part 21 whose inner surface has a downward tapered shape is provided to the inner bottom part of a cup 16 in which a material to be cooked is received so as to surround the cutter 17 rotated by a drive means and, by making the distance between the outer periphery of the cutter 17 and the inner surface of the cylindrical part 21 narrower than the size of one piece of a material such as an apple, the material is prevented from getting into the gap between the outer periphery of the cutter 17 and the inner surface of the cylindrical part 21, and the small capacity cutting of about a cup of the material can be performed without causing any problem.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotary cooker used for general household use and business use, and more particularly to a rotary cooker suitable for small capacity cutting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in improving the cutting performance of a rotary cooker with a small capacity of about one cup. Hereinafter, an example of a conventional rotary cooker will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, 2 in the cup 1
Fruits such as apples and bananas, milk, ice, etc., cut into 3 cm squares are put, and the electric motor 3 in the cooker main body 2 cuts and agitates the cutter 4 at high speed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, one cup 1 is used for cutting all of small capacity, medium capacity and large capacity. At the time of medium and large capacity cutting, the vertical ribs 5 of the cup 1 and the high speed rotation of the cutter 4 vertically move the water to circulate fruits, milk, ice, etc. well and can be cut without any problem. However, in the case of cutting with a small capacity of about one cup, the material does not move up and down because the material is such that the upper end of the cutter 4 is hidden.
Therefore, there is a problem in that relatively hard objects such as apples and carrots often remain without being cut because the material is caught between the vertical ribs 5 on the inner wall of the cup 1 and the outer periphery of the cutter 4.

The present invention is intended to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a rotary cooker capable of cutting without a problem even in the case of a small capacity.

[0005]

In order to solve this problem, a rotary cooker according to the present invention comprises a cup for containing an object to be cooked,
The cup is equipped with a cutter attached to the inner bottom of the cup and rotated by a driving means, and a cylindrical portion having an inner surface that is recessed so as to surround the lower cutter of the cup. Further, according to the present invention, an inner lid is provided on an upper end of a cylindrical portion surrounding the cutter.

[0006]

[Operation] With this configuration, a cup for containing the food to be cooked,
A cutter that is attached to the inner bottom of the cup and that is rotated by the driving means, and a cylindrical portion whose inner surface is recessed so as to surround the lower cutter of the cup is provided, and the outer periphery of the cutter and the inner surface of the cylindrical portion. By making the distance narrower than one piece of material such as apple, the material does not fit between the outer circumference of the cutter and the inner surface of the cylindrical part, and it is possible to cut without problems even in small volume cutting of about the full cup. .. Further, since the inner lid is provided on the upper end of the cylindrical portion surrounding the cutter, the jumping of the material can be prevented, and the cutting performance can be further improved.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described. 11 is a cooker main body having an electric motor 12 serving as driving means therein, 13 is a top surface provided with several claws, and the electric motor is
