Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a food cooking device in which the angle of a material guide tube for guiding food materials into a food processing container is adjustable with respect to a lid.

Generally, a food cooking device as shown in FIG. 1 is known.

This is done by attaching a food processing container 3 to a main body 2 that has a built-in motor 1, and rotating a cutter 4 in the food processing container 3 with the motor 1 to feed the material provided on the lid 5 of the container 3. The machine is configured to cut food materials fed through the mouth 6.

By the way, in the conventional food cooking apparatus of this kind, the material guide tube 7 for guiding the food material to the material input port 6 has a bottom shape integrally with the lid body 5 made of synthetic resin, and the food material is passed through the cutter 4. They were always thrown from the same direction.

Therefore, unless the cutter 4 is replaced, the food material will always be cut into a fixed shape. For example, using the cutter 4 that cuts the material on a plane, the food material will be cut in a direction perpendicular to the cutter 4. When adding it, it is not possible to cut it diagonally, which makes it difficult to cook in a variety of ways.

This type of cooking equipment has tended to be avoided, especially in Japanese cooking, where the cutting of ingredients is often varied.

Therefore, it is conceivable to have a wide variety of cutters and use them as appropriate, but handling too many cutters increases costs and requires time and effort to replace cutters, which is not preferable.

Therefore, as a means to solve such drawbacks, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of material guide tubes 8 a , 8 b . . . at different angles with respect to the lid body 5, as shown in FIG. .

(In the figure, 10 is an elastic piece that partitions the two guide tubes 8 a and 8 b.

)However, this makes the shape of the lid 5 complicated, making it extremely difficult to manufacture the lid 5.
It also has the disadvantage of high cost.

Furthermore, cleaning after use becomes troublesome.

This idea was created in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and allows food materials placed in a food processing container to be cut into multiple shapes by simple operations without changing the cutter. To provide a food cooking device which can be used for food preparation and which does not make it difficult to manufacture a lid or clean it after use.

That is, in the food cooking apparatus of this invention, a material is passed through a food processing container 3 having a built-in rotary cutter 4 as shown in FIG. In this food cooking apparatus, a desired food material is input and the cutter 4 is driven to rotate to process the food material, and the material guide tube is provided so that the angle thereof can be adjusted.

Hereinafter, a description will be given based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. A cylindrical material guide tube 12 is connected to a semicircular support portion 11.11 that is integrally provided on the outer surface of the lid body 5. It is movably attached and is provided with locking means for appropriately locking the material guide tube 12.

A pair of protrusions 13°1 are provided at the lower part of the outer periphery of the material guide tube 12.
3 are provided protrudingly, and each support part 11.11 has these protrusions 1
3.13 is provided with a through hole into which it is rotatably fitted.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the locking means includes three locking recesses 14a and 14b formed at a predetermined interval on the outer periphery of the support portion 11.11.

14C, a pair of guide grooves 15.15 formed on the outer periphery of the guide tube 12 to be long in the direction of insertion of the food material, and a pair of locking pieces slidably installed in each of the guide grooves 15.15. 16.16, and a compression spring 17.1 that biases each locking piece 16.16 downward in the guide groove 15.15.
7, and the locking piece 16.16 is connected to the spring 17.
By fitting and holding the material guide tube 12 into any of the locking grooves 14a to 14C by the locking groove 17, the material guide tube 12 is locked at a predetermined position.

In addition, in FIG. 3, 18 is the handle of the lid body 5, and 19 is the guide tube 12.
This is a push rod that is inserted into the container 3 to push the food material into the container 3.

Thus, in the food cooking apparatus having the above structure, the material guide tube 12 is rotated to move the locking pieces 16 into the locking grooves 14a to 14.
By performing an extremely simple operation of selectively fitting the material guide tube 12 to the lid body 5 at a desired angle, the food material can be held at a desired angle. Since the cutting method can be changed in various ways without replacing the cutter 4, for example, when the locking piece 16 is locked in the locking recess 14a, the cutting method can be changed in various ways. When cutting can be performed and the food material is locked in the locking recess 14b or 14C, the food material can be processed into a plurality of shapes, such as diagonal cutting.

Furthermore, since the lid 5 and the material guide tube 12 are separate members, only the support portion 11 and the material input port 6 are provided on the top surface of the lid 5, so both the lid 5 and the guide tube 12 are easily assembled. It can be manufactured quickly and inexpensively.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the material guide tube 12 is provided to rotate on a plane that includes the rotating shaft 4a of the rotary cutter 4, the pushing force of the pushing rod 19 is always applied to the rotating shaft 4a. As a result, the food processing container 3 does not wobble due to the pushing operation of the food material, and the pushing operation can always be performed in a stable state.

Further, in the above embodiment, the material guide tube 12 is connected to the support part 1.
In contrast to 1, if the configuration is removable, after use,
Since the lid body 5 and the material guide tube 12 only need to be cleaned separately, the cleaning work becomes extremely simple.

Note that this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

For example, the material guide tube and the peripheral edge of the material input port of the lid may be connected by a flexible connecting tube.

Furthermore, the material guide tube may be continuously adjustable to any locking position by frictional force against the lid.

Alternatively, the locking means may be one in which the rotating shaft is loosened, the material guide tube is rotated to a predetermined position, and then the rotating shaft is directly tightened and fixed using a knob or the like.

Furthermore, the material guide tube does not have to be cylindrical, and as long as it is cylindrical, the cross-sectional shape may be rectangular, elliptical, or the like.

As explained above, according to this invention, food materials put into a food processing container can be cut into multiple shapes with simple operations without changing the cutter, and the lid can be manufactured and cleaned. It is possible to provide a food cooking device that achieves the desired effect without causing any difficulty in cooking.
