Next, the operation will be described.

First, when the fitting portion 26 of the container 4 is fitted into the mounting table portion 18 of the main body 3, the rotary shaft 17 is introduced into the tubular portion 27 and the fitting portion
The container 4 is fixed to the main body 3 by engaging an engaging portion (not shown) and an engaged portion (not shown) provided on the mounting table portion 18 and the mounting table portion 18, respectively.

Next, if the cutter shaft 31 of the cutter table 29 to which the cutter 28 is attached is attached to the rotary shaft 17, the rotation of the rotary shaft 17 can be transmitted to the cutter 28.

Here, when the upper end opening of the container 4 and the protruding portion 3a are covered with the lid body 7, one movable terminal 19 of the switch 5 is pressed by the switch pressing rib 33 provided on the lid body 7 to turn on. However, in this case, since the other movable terminal 20 is in the off state, the switch 5 does not turn on, which is safe.

Next, if the workpiece is large, such as cabbage,
Cut into an appropriate size and put into the container 4 from the large charging port 8. At this time, since the large charging port 8 is larger than the conventional one, many workpieces can be charged at one time.

After the workpiece is loaded from the large input port 8, the second push rod 12 is inserted into the small input port 11 of the first push rod 10, and the engaging portion 42 of the first push rod 10 and the second push rod are inserted. Engage with 12 engaged parts 44,
The first push rod 10 and the second push rod 12 are integrally fixed, and the small charging port 11 is closed by the second push rod 12. In this way, the contents being cut do not overflow from the small input port 11 to the outside.

Next, when the large charging port 8 is closed by the charging cylinder lid 9, the switch pressing rib 34 provided on the charging cylinder lid 9 opens the hole 22 of the main body 3 through the mover 36 arranged on the lid body 7. Since it penetrates and presses the other movable terminal 20 of the switch 5, the switch 5 is turned on for the first time here. When the switch 5 is turned on, the motor 2 is rotationally driven, and this rotation is the motor shaft.
It is transmitted to the rotary shaft 17 via the pinion 15, the pinion 15, and the gear 16.

When the rotary shaft 17 rotates, the cutter 28 rotates and the workpiece in the container 4 is cut by the blade 28a. As the work piece in the container 4 is cut, if the grip portion 43 of the second push rod 12 is pressed, the push plate 40 descends and the work piece is cut while being pressed. The cut work piece falls from the opening 30 provided in the cutter 28 to the lower portion of the container 4.

At this time, since the workpiece is loaded from the large input port 8 which is smaller than the upper end opening of the container 4, the workpiece is placed in a narrow area on the upper surface of the cutter 28. Therefore, it acts uniformly on the work piece, and the work piece is cut uniformly.

When the work piece is thin such as green onion or cucumber, the engagement between the engaging portion 42 and the engaged portion 44 provided on the first push rod 10 and the second push rod 12 is released. And then the small slot 11
Then, the second push rod 12 is pulled out to open the small insertion port 11.
Then, after the workpiece is input from the small input port 11, the second push rod 12 is inserted into the small input port 11 and pressed to the cutter.
Cut with 28. At this time, since the work piece in the small insertion port 11 is pressed by the spring 48, it is possible to sufficiently cut the work piece while standing upright.

If either the lid 7 or the closing cylinder lid 9 is opened after the cutting is completed, the switch 5 is turned off and the motor 2 is stopped.

When not in use, as shown in FIG. 4, if the cutter shaft 31 is directed upward and is introduced into the projecting portion 6b, the cutter 28 will move to the fifth position.
As shown in the figure, since it is stored in the lid 7,
The lower end opening of the storage case 45 is covered.

[Advantages of the Invention] The present invention provides a main body integrally provided with a lid in which a large inlet smaller than the upper end opening of the container is formed in the upper direction of the lid, and the large inlet and the switch are arranged. Is provided with a lid for covering the projecting portion of the body, and a first push rod having a push plate that moves up and down in the barrel is provided slidably at a position facing the large inlet of the lid for the body, and A switch pressing rib for turning on a switch is provided in the closing cylinder lid portion facing the protrusion, and the upper end is located above the upper end of the first opening inside the first push rod and communicates with the large opening. Since the second input rod is freely inserted into and removed from the small input port while providing the input port, it is possible to increase the input amount of the workpiece from the large input port. In addition, since the large and small input ports are provided, it is possible to efficiently cut a work piece having a large size or a small size, thereby improving cutting efficiency.

In addition, since the work piece is loaded from a charging port smaller than the upper opening of the container, the work piece is placed in a narrow area on the upper surface of the cutter, so that the pressing force of the push rod acts uniformly on the work piece. As a result, the work piece can be cut uniformly.

Also, since the switch is turned on only when the lid is closed and the large insertion port of the insertion tube provided in this lid is closed with the insertion tube lid, a large insertion port with a large diameter is not provided. It is safe because the switch does not turn on and the cutter does not rotate when it is not closed by the closing cylinder lid.

When the workpiece is input from the small input port, the upper end of the small input port is above the upper end of the large input port, far from the cutter, and the small input port is smaller than the large input port. It is hard to touch the cutter and it is safe even if the cutter is rotating.

Further, when the second push rod is housed in the small insertion port provided in the first push rod, the engaging portion and the engaged portion which are engaged with each other are the first push rod and the second push rod, respectively. Since the first push rod and the second push rod are integrated with each other when the large input port is used, when the work piece in the input cylinder is pressed, the second push rod is provided. It can also be used as the gripping part, and the work piece does not overflow from the small input port.
