Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cooking mixer capable of collecting juice from a material that is cut into a semi-liquid state by a cutter.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The cooking mixer cuts the fruit and other ingredients put in the bottle into a semi-liquid state by rotating the cutter, which is provided at the inner bottom of the bottle with the upper end opened, with the power of the motor, and cuts the semi-liquid state. The material cut into a liquid state is taken out from the opening by tilting the cooking bottle.

A lid is removably attached to the upper end opening of the bottle. When the material is put into the bottle through the upper end opening, the lid is removed, and when the cutter is rotated, the upper end opening is covered with the lid. The material is kept out of the bottle.

In addition, in the cooking mixer, as a mechanism for starting and stopping the motor provided in the mixer main body, a normally-open type connected to the power supply circuit of the motor provided in the mixer main body is used. A switch, a switch operating body that is vertically movable on the mixer body and is always urged in the upward direction to turn on the switch when descending, and a lid that covers the upper opening of the bottle and is provided so that it can rotate up and down. Some have an operating lever for lowering the switch operating body by.

That is, in the cooking mixer, when the material is cut by rotating the cutter, the user fixes the mixer body by hand and presses the lid by hand to fix the bottle. The above configuration uses the operation when cooking like this, when the user presses the lid with his hand, pushes the operation lever and rotates it downward, and pushes down the switch operation body to turn on the switch. It drives the motor.

As a result, the motor can be rotated only when the lid is attached to the upper opening of the bottle, and the motor cannot be rotated when the lid is removed from the upper opening of the bottle. There is an advantage that the cutter does not rotate with hands or materials in it and the safety is high.

By the way, in the conventional cooking mixer, when cooking a material containing a large amount of water, it is only possible to cut it into a semi-liquid state, and juice is taken from the cut material. I can't.

[0008] Therefore, when cooking a material containing a large amount of water, a cooking mixer that enables the juice component to be separated and collected from the material cut with a filter body and used as a juicer is provided. Being developed.

That is, when obtaining the juice component, the juice component is inserted into the bottle after cutting the material and the semi-liquid-cut material is pushed from above to remove the juice component from the filter body. After passing through the upper part for separation, the juice component is transferred from the bottle to another container, and the filter body is taken out from the bottle.

[0010]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in a cooking mixer using such a filter, the filter is inserted into the bottle only when the juice is collected, and the filter is removed from the bottle when the juice is not collected. It is inconvenient to handle the filter body, and when the filter body is not used, it is necessary to secure a place to store the filter body.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a problem, as seen in, for example, a tea server, a lid attached to an upper end opening of a bottle is inserted with an operation rod attached to a filter body for moving the filter up and down. Then, it is considered to combine the filter body and the lid. According to this, the storage location of the filter body is not troubled and the handling is convenient. However, if the above-mentioned configuration for simply attaching the filter body to the lid is combined with the cooking mixer equipped with the switch operation mechanism. The following problems occur.

Since the filter body is attached to the lid, the filter body is operated with the lid provided at the upper end opening of the bottle. That is, in order to collect the juice, a lid is attached to the upper opening of the bottle and put inside the filter bottle. Then, the operating rod is pushed down to lower the filter body.

When the user pushes down the operation rod, the user may mistakenly press the operation lever provided on the lid together to rotate the motor and rotate the cutter. Then, the filter may hit the rotating cutter and be damaged, or the cutter may be damaged. Furthermore, when cooking is performed by rotating the cutter, the filter may be located at a low position in the bottle, which may hinder the cutting of the material by rotating the cutter.

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances. When collecting juice from a filter, there is no risk of turning on the switch that drives the motor, and when the cutter is rotated for cooking. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking mixer that is highly safe and can perform good cooking without hindering cooking by the filter body.

[0015]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the cooking mixer of the present invention comprises a mixer main body having a built-in motor, and a cutter having an upper end opened and an inner bottom portion rotated by the power of the motor. A bottle provided on the main body, a normally open switch provided on the mixer main body and connected to the power circuit of the motor, and a vertically movable mount on the mixer main body, and always urged upward. A switch operating body for turning on the switch when it is moved downward, a lid detachably attached to the upper end opening of the bottle and having a through hole communicating with the inside and the outside of the bottle, and a filter section. It is installed inside the bottle so that it can move up and down, and when it moves downward, the material that has been cut into a semi-liquid state by the cutter in the bottle is pushed from above to push the juice portion upwards of the filtration unit. A filter body to be passed through, one end of which is pivotally connected to the filter body and is connected to the filter body through the through hole of the lid and which is continuous with the other end of the insert section and the other end of the lid and It has a non-insertion portion located outside, and the insertion portion is arranged so as to be vertically rotatable on the lid while pulling up the filter body to a height that does not hinder the cutting of the material by the cutter when it is not inserted into the bottle. When the filter is inserted into the bottle, the filter body is moved downward, and the non-insertion part is formed with a switch operating body depressing portion that pushes down the switch operating body when the insertion portion is not inserted. And an operating lever which is provided.

[0016]

[Action]

 With the lid attached to the top opening of the bottle, if the insertion portion of the operating lever is placed on the lid without inserting it into the through hole of the lid, the insertion portion can rotate up and down. It is possible to turn on the switch by rotating the switch downward and pushing down the switch operation body.At this time, the filter body inside the bottle is pulled up to a height that does not hinder the cutting of the material by the cutter by the insertion part. ing. Therefore, even if the switch is turned on and the cutter is rotated by the motor, the filter does not interfere with cooking.

When the insertion portion of the operation lever is inserted into the through hole of the lid to move the filter body in the bottle downward, the switch operation body pushing-down portion of the non-insertion portion is separated from the switch operation body. , The switch operating body push-down part does not push down the switch operating body. Therefore, when the user performs the operation of moving the filter body downward to collect the juice, the switch is not accidentally turned on to rotate the cutter.

A bottle 13 having an open upper end is detachably mounted on the bottle mounting wall 2 of the mixer body 1. The bottle 13 has a structure in which a base 14 and a cylindrical portion 15 are connected to each other, and has a bottom wall 14a connected to these connecting portions. The bottom wall 14a is formed integrally with the base. A rotary shaft 17 is rotatably supported on the bottom wall 14a via a bearing 16. The rotary shaft 17 penetrates the bottom wall 14a in the vertical direction, and is fixed to the driven coupling 18 housed inside the base 14 at the lower end thereof.

The driven coupling 18 is formed by protruding a plurality of teeth for power transmission on the lower surface of the disk-shaped base portion, and the teeth are driving cups when the bottle 13 is placed on the placing wall 2. It is adapted to engage the teeth of the ring 7 so that both couplings 7, 18 are rotated together via the engagement of these teeth.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a cutter 19 is fixed to the upper end of the rotary shaft 17 at the center in the longitudinal direction. The cutter 19 is arranged on the inner bottom of the bottle 13. One end of the cutter 19 is formed obliquely upward and the other end thereof is formed obliquely downward.

1 to 3, reference numeral 20 denotes a lid fitted and attached to the upper end opening of the bottle 13, which has a fitting tubular portion 20a formed in the lower portion and a lever holding portion 21 in the upper portion. Has been formed. The lever holding portion 21 forms a concave portion extending from the center of the lid 20 to the outer peripheral portion, and is open on the upper surface and the peripheral surface of the lid 20. Further, a through hole 22 that connects the inside and the outside of the lid 20 is formed in a portion of the lever holding portion 21 located at the center of the lid 20.

A filter body 23 is provided on the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13 so as to be vertically movable. As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, in the filter body 23, a connecting rod 25 is formed upright at the center of a substantially disk-shaped filter portion 24. The filtering portion 24 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 15, and has a filtering net 24a extending over the entire surface thereof. A seal ring 26 is attached to a groove 24b formed around the entire circumference of the filter net 24a.

The filter body 23 is disposed inside the cylindrical portion 15 with the filter portion 24 horizontal and the connecting rod 25 upward. The seal ring 26 contacts the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 15 to seal between the inner surface and the filtration portion 24a.

The connecting rod 25 is pivotally connected to an operation lever, which will be described later, and is inserted into the through hole 22 of the lid 20 when the filter body 23 moves to the upper portion of the cylindrical portion 15. A forked portion 25a is formed at the upper end of the connecting rod 25. The length from the filtering portion 24 to the upper end of the connecting rod 25 is such a height that the filter body 23 does not hinder the cutting of the material by the cutter 19 when the connecting rod 25 is raised and inserted into the through hole 22 of the lid 20. It can be located at.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, 27 is an operating lever, which is arranged in the lever holding portion 21 of the lid 20. The operating lever 27 has an insertion portion 28 and a non-insertion portion 29, and has an L-shape formed by a plate-shaped portion 27a and edges 27b located on both sides of the plate-shaped portion 27a.

The insertion portion 28 is inserted through the through hole 22 of the lid 20 and is removably inserted into the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13. The pivotal plate portion 30 formed on the inner surface of one end of the insertion portion 28 (the portion sandwiched by the pair of edge portions 27b) has a forked portion 25a formed on the upper end of the connecting rod 25 of the filter body 23. It is inserted inside, and is pivotally attached and connected to the forked portion 25a by inserting the pivot 31.

The insertion portion 28 has such a length that when the insertion portion 28 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13 through the through hole 22, the filter body 23 can be lowered to a position slightly higher than the state of the cutter 19. The insertion portion 28 is arranged in the lever holding portion 21 when it is removed from the through hole 22 and is on the lid 20.

The non-insertion portion 29 is formed continuously with the other end of the insertion portion 28 and is bent substantially at right angles to the insertion portion 28. On the inner surface of the non-insertion portion 29, a switch operating body push-down portion 32 that contacts the upper end of the switch operating body 10 is formed.

When the insertion portion 28 is arranged on the lever holding portion 21, the non-insertion portion 29 faces downward from the lever holding portion 21 on the outer peripheral portion of the lid 20.

The case of making juice using the cooking mixer configured as described above will be described.

First, the lid 20 is removed from the upper end opening of the bottle 13, and a material such as fruit is put into the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13 through the upper end opening. Then, the lid 20 is attached to the upper end opening of the bottle 13. The operation lever 27 is placed on the lid 20.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the insertion portion 28 is arranged on the lever holding portion 21 along the radial direction of the lid 20. The filter body 23 is pulled up by the insertion portion 28 to a position where it does not hinder the cutting of the material by the rotation of the cutter 19 and rises inside the bottle 13, and the connecting rod 25 is inserted into the through hole 22 of the lid 20. The portion 25a projects above the lid 20.

For this reason, the insertion portion 28 becomes vertically movable about the pivot 31 in the lever holding portion 21. Further, the non-insertion portion 29 is located on the outer peripheral portion of the lid 20, and the switch operating body pushing down portion 32 contacts the upper end of the switch operating body 10.

When the user manually rotates the insertion portion 28 downward about the pivot 31, the non-insertion portion 29 is displaced downward and the switch operating body pushing down portion 32 causes the switch operating body 10 to move to the coil spring. The switch operating body 10 turns on the open / close switch 9, and the motor 4 is driven. The power of the motor 4 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 17 via the couplings 7 and 18, and the cutter 19 is rotated together with the rotary shaft 17.

In this case, the filter body 23 does not hinder the cutting of the material by the rotation of the cutter 19 by raising to a height that does not hinder the cutting of the material by the rotation of the cutter 19.

Next, when the juice portion is to be collected, the insertion portion 28 is rotated upward about the pivot 31 from the state shown in the figure, and the insertion portion 28 of the operation lever 27 is moved as shown in FIG. Remove from the holding portion 21 of the lid 20 and stand up. As a result, the non-insertion portion 29 is disengaged from the outer peripheral portion of the lid 20 and has a horizontal orientation, and the switch operating body pressing portion 32 is separated from the upper end of the switch operating body 10.

Next, the insertion portion 28 is moved downward in an upright state and inserted into the bottle 13 through the through hole 22. As a result, the connecting rod 25 of the filter body 23 comes out of the through hole 22 and enters the inside of the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13, and the filter body 23 moves downward inside the cylindrical portion 15. At this time, the sealing ring 26 attached to the filter portion 24 of the filter body 23 moves in sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle. The moving distance of the filter body 23 corresponds to the length of the insertion portion 28.

In the process of the filter body 23 moving downward, the filter portion 24a pushes the material cut into a semi-liquid state by a cutter in the bottle from above to pass the juice portion above the filter portion 24a.

Then, the non-insertion section 29 moves downward due to the downward movement of the insertion section 28, and when the filter body 23 reaches a position slightly higher than the cutter 19, the non-insertion section 29 hits the upper surface of the lid 20 and is inserted. The insertion into the part 28 is stopped.

In this way, when the juice is collected by moving the filter body 23 downward, the switch operating body pushing down portion 32 of the non-insertion portion 29 is disengaged from the upper end of the switch operating body 10 and the switch operating body 10 is removed. Never push down. Therefore, the open / close switch 9 is erroneously pushed to drive the motor 4, and the cutter 19 is prevented from rotating to damage the filter body.

After the juice portion is collected, the insertion portion 28 is pulled up and placed on the lever holding portion 21 of the lid 20. The filter body 23 is also pulled up again. Then, the lid 20 is removed from the upper end opening of the cylindrical portion 15, and the juice component is taken out from the cylindrical portion 15. At this time, the filter body 23 is also removed from the cylindrical portion 15 together with the lid 20.

Further, when the cooking mixer is not used, since the filter body 23 is inside the cylindrical portion 15 of the bottle 13, it is not necessary to secure a separate storage place. The present invention is limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. Without changing, various modifications can be implemented.

[0049]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the cooking mixer of the present invention, there is no risk of turning on the switch that drives the motor when the juice is collected by the filter body, and therefore the filter body is not damaged by the cutter and is safe. In addition, when cooking is performed by rotating the cutter, the filter body does not hinder cooking, so good cooking can be performed.
