Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an electric condiment grater that is most suitable for grating garlic and garlic, which are used as condiments and spices, and in particular, raw garlic that has a high fiber quality.

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

This involves forming a radial row of cutting blades consisting of a large number of triangular protruding blades 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 protruding blades is intended only for daikon radish, which has a high moisture content, and the fibers in the radish are also affected by the flow of moisture during the rotation of the rotary grater. The cutting process is relatively smooth with little tangles with the blades, but when it comes to raw vegetables and garlic, especially dry raw vegetables, the tough fibers left uncut between the protruding blades can lead to the next generation. If the protruding blade becomes stuck, the load on the motor will increase rapidly, making it impossible to maintain smooth cutting action.

Further, when using only a rotary grater having triangular protruding blades as described above, when taking out grated food such as fresh vegetables, it is difficult to collect the grated material thoroughly from between the protruding blades, making it difficult to use.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and includes 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. is composed of a cylindrical protruding blade, and a play I for taking out the grated material is installed on the main surface with the cylindrical protruding blade passing through and rotates together with the grater, thereby facilitating the grating work. The electric type is easy to use, reduces the chance of the fibers of the cut material getting tangled with the cutting blade, and allows you to easily take out the grated material from the main surface of the rotary grater. The purpose is to provide a condiment grater.
