Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an electric condiment grater that is most suitable for grating raw food or garlic used as condiments and spices, especially raw food with high fiber quality.

Generally, as this type of seed grater, a grater for radish is known.

This involves forming cutting blades consisting of a large number of triangular pyramidal protruding blades radially on the main surface of a rotary grater driven by a motor.
The radish is cut while being pressed against the main surface of the grater.

By the way, when cooking, grated ingredients such as raw garlic and garlic are used as condiments.

Therefore, in order to easily obtain these grated foods, it is possible to use the above-mentioned radish grater.

However, the rotating rotary grater with triangular pyramid-shaped protruding blades is intended only for daikon radish, which has a high moisture content, and the fiber content of the radish is reduced by the flow of moisture during the rotation of the rotary grater. There is little chance of it getting tangled with the protruding blades, and the cutting is relatively smooth.However, when it comes to fresh rhinoceroses and garlic, especially dried fresh vegetables, there is a high degree of toughness and fuzziness left between the protruding blades. The fibers become entangled with the next protruding blade, resulting in a so-called clogging, which causes a sudden increase in the load on the motor, making it impossible to maintain a smooth cutting action.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and includes a large number of cylindrical protruding blades arranged radially on the main surface of a rotary grater driven by a motor, as well as leveling ribs with protrusions extending in the radial direction. By forming this, the electric condiment grater can cut not only daikon radish but also dry and highly tough fibrous materials such as radish without increasing the load on the motor. The purpose is to provide

The bearing part 37a is fitted, and this grating plate 37
is rotatably supported from the lower surface by a plurality of rollers 38 equidistantly arranged around the shaft 36.

Although it is possible to support the rotary grater 37 only by the shaft 36, by providing the roller 38, stable support for the rotary grater 37 can be ensured.

At the opening edge of the rotary grater 37, an annular flange 39 is provided.
are integrally formed, and a rack portion 40 is formed on the lower surface of this collar portion 39 to mesh with the small diameter gear 33 of the driven gear 31, and the rotational force of the motor 7 is transmitted to the driving and driven gears. 30 and 31, it is transmitted to the rotary grater 37 at low speed and high torque.

Reference numeral 41 denotes a large number of protruding blades formed on the main surface, that is, the bottom surface, of the rotary grater 37, and each of these protruding blades 41 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a height of about 3 to 5 mm, as shown in FIG. They are arranged in a radial pattern that extends linearly from the center radially outward.

Furthermore, one of the plurality of protruding blades 41 is provided on a part of the main surface.
A leveling rib 43 is formed between one blade row 42□ and an adjacent blade row 42□, extending linearly from the center radially outward and flattening the fibers of the workpiece. There is.

Reference numeral 44 denotes a plate for taking out grated food that is removably installed on the main surface of the rotary grater 37, and in the installed state,
A large number of small holes 45 and notches 46 are provided so as not to impede the protrusion of the large number of cylindrical protruding blades 41 and the leveling ribs 43, and the bearing portion 3 of the cutting blade body 36 also serves as a gripping knob.
A hollow protrusion 44a that fits into the hole 7 is formed.

Reference numeral 47 denotes a cover that covers the cutting chamber 3. A hinge pin 48 is formed at the front end of the cover 47, and the hinge pin 48 rotates into a pin receiving portion 49 formed on the outer wall of the cutting chamber 3. Possibly fitted.

This cover 47 has a cylindrical insertion portion 5 which also serves to position the workpiece M in accordance with the eccentric position of the cutting blade body 37.
0 is formed.

Reference numeral 51 designates a pushing plate for the workpiece M, and a hinge pin 52 at the base end is fitted into a long hole 53 formed on the cover 47 side, and a free end is provided with a push plate toward the cover 47 side. A pushing protrusion 54 that enters the cylindrical insertion portion 50 by rotational displacement is integrally formed.

In the above configuration, when the operating knob 20 is operated to turn on the power switch 18, the rotational force of the motor 7 is reduced in speed and transmitted to the rotary grater plate 37 via the driving and driven gears 30, 31.

It is transmitted to this rotary grater 37.

While the rotary grater 37 is in a rotating state, insert the object to be cut, for example, the raw material M into the rotary grater 37 from the insertion portion 50 of the safety cover, and insert the protrusion 5 of the push plate 51 into the rotary grater 37
4, when the raw grain M is pressed as shown in FIG.

Here, as the cutting progresses, the fibers with high toughness are torn off by the protruding blade 41, and then the protruding blade 41
Since the protruding blade 41 is cylindrical, even if there is no moisture, the fibers will be guided by the smooth side circumference of the protruding blade 41 and slide.

Therefore, the edge portion of the upper edge of the tip of the protruding blade 41 continues to effectively hit and bite into the surface to be cut of the raw thread M.

In particular, since linear leveling ribs 43 extending in the radial direction are formed on the main surface of the rotary grater 37, the fluff-like fibers N in the raw grain M are removed by the tip surface of the ribs 43 as they pass. At the same time as shown in Fig. 5, the lying fibers are placed in a radial direction, and as shown in Fig. 6, they are made to stand by with respect to the columnar protrusion blade 41 at the rear in the rotational direction (direction of arrow a). Therefore, the fiber portion N is reliably cut by the cylindrical protruding blade 41, so that the stable cutting operation is continued without causing an increase in the load on the motor 7.

If the height of the leveling rib 43 exceeds the height of the cylindrical protrusion blade 41, it becomes difficult to perform the cutting operation smoothly, and if it is too low, the leveling effect is lost and the cylindrical protrusion It is necessary to form the height t equal to the height T of the blade 41 or slightly lower as in this embodiment (see FIG. 5).

In particular, when the size is made slightly smaller, the fibers N can be reliably pushed into the ruts of the cylindrical protruding blades 41.

When the grated raw material M is completed, the rotation of the cutting blade body 37 by the motor 7 is stopped, and the plate 44 for taking out the grated material is stopped.
When the plate 44 is pulled up with the grip portion 44a, the grated material is collected from the rotary grater 37 while being deposited on the plate 44.

FIG. 7 shows a modified structure of the leveling rib 43, in which an inclined surface 70 descending rearward in the direction of rotation of the rotary grater 37 is formed at the tip of the leveling rib 43.

In this case, the same leveling effect as described above can be achieved, and the cutting of the fibers N becomes even more effective due to the edge effect produced by the top end 70a of the inclined surface 70.

Although the leveling rib 43 in each of these embodiments is formed in a straight line, if it is formed of a curved rib that is curved in a convex manner forward in the rotational direction of the rotary grater 37, the fiber content N can be reduced. It can be reliably made to follow the leveling ribs 43 without escaping.

As described above, this invention has a rotary grater driven by a motor installed in the cutting chamber of the main body case, and a large number of cutting blades arranged radially on the main surface of the grater are connected to cylindrical protrusions. It is composed of a blade and has leveling ribs extending in the radial direction on the main surface, so you can easily grate raw vegetables, garlic, etc. for condiments, and there is less chance of fibers getting tangled with the protruding blade. In particular, during cutting, the leveling rib allows the fibers to lie down and at the same time makes it easier to cut along the ribs with the protruding blade, thereby improving cutting efficiency and reducing the load on the motor.
