Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric cooker, and more particularly to an electric cooker capable of making a grated food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Electric cookers are used for slicing, slicing, and grazing vegetables, but these cutting operations involve rotating a disc-shaped cutter to The material to be cut is pressed against the rotating surface. A blade portion is formed on the cutter surface according to the content of cooking such as slicing, and the cutter is rotationally driven by an electric motor to cut the material. When grabbing radish etc., it is common to use a cutter with a small blade on the cutter surface, and rotate the cutter while pressing vegetables such as radish on the cutter surface.

[0003]

By the way, the conventional electric cooker has a problem in making grated radish and the like. That is, when making a grater with a conventional electric cooker as described above, the material is pressed against the rotating cutter, and the grate blade provided on the cutter surface grabs the vegetable fiber while grabbing with the cutter. It will squeeze the blade. Since the cutter rotates only in one direction, the grater blade gradually becomes clogged with fibers, and when the grater blade is completely clogged with fibers, it cannot be grated after that.

As a method of preventing the fibers of the material from being caught in the grater blade as described above, a small rotating plate that freely rotates in the cutter surface is provided as a grater.
Some grate blades are designed to prevent clogging, but with this method, the direction of grate is irregular, resulting in a high water content and a light grate.

In addition to the above-mentioned method, there is a method of cutting vegetables into dice, placing them on a cutter, and rotating the cutter at a high speed to make a grater. With this method, the vegetables are scraped off as if they were moving over the cutter. Therefore, although it looks like a grater, it has coarse eyes and looks like an intermediate between finely chopped and grater, and it is not possible to make a quality grater. The present invention has been made in view of the fact that a conventional electric cooker could not be made into a good-quality grated, and its purpose is to cut vegetables, etc. The present invention aims to provide an electric cooker that can be effectively used for manufacturing.

[0006]

The present invention has the following constitution in order to achieve the above object. That is, a cutter plate guided and supported to reciprocate at the upper portion of a box-shaped main body, a drive unit that reciprocally drives the cutter plate, and a vegetable disposed on the cutter plate above the cutter plate. And a container for storing cut vegetables arranged below the cutter plate. Further, the cutter plate is guided and supported so as to linearly reciprocate along the inner surface of the upper portion of the main body. In addition, we prepared multiple types of cutter plates equipped with cutting blades or graters according to the required processing such as slicing vegetables, julienne cutting, grater etc., and making it possible to set by exchanging these cutter plates Characterize. The drive unit connects the cutter plate and a drive gear that is rotationally driven by an electric motor by a drive lever that is guided and supported to move back and forth in the reciprocating direction of the cutter plate, and the drive lever extends. The protruding end is detachably engaged with the base end of the cutter plate, and the base portion of the drive lever is provided with an elongated hole in a direction orthogonal to the forward / backward movement direction of the cutter plate to be provided at an eccentric position on the drive gear. It is characterized in that the driving roller is engaged in the elongated hole. Further, the present invention is characterized in that a lid portion having a throw-in cylinder is detachably provided on an upper portion of the main body so as to cover the upper side of the cutter plate. Further, a replacement cutter plate is provided so as to be able to be housed in the main body below the container.

[0007]

The cutter plate is reciprocated by being driven by the drive unit, and when vegetables are loaded from the loading cylinder and pushed in, the cutter plates reciprocate and the vegetables are cut. The cut vegetables are stored in a container below the cutter plate. If a cutter plate provided with a grater is used, the radish etc. can be lowered by the reciprocating motion of the cutter plate. Since this grater is a reciprocating operation, it is possible to make a grater with good quality as if grabbing it by hand. You can change the cutter plate and cook slices, shreds, and grate. By connecting the cutter plate and the drive gear with the drive lever, the rotational movement of the drive gear that is rotationally driven by the electric motor is converted into reciprocating motion of the cutter plate.
