Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cooking machine that uses a disc-shaped cutter to cook vegetables, etc., and uses a simple means to prevent the material from leaking from the attachment part of the disc-shaped cutter. .

Conventionally, in this type of cooking machine, as shown in Fig. 4,
By providing a separate removable cylindrical member 37 in the cylindrical part 36 at the center of the container 35, leakage of material from the attachment part of the cutter 38 is prevented. The cylindrical member 37, which is a separate component for force adjustment, is required, which is inconvenient to use and causes an increase in cost. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric motor attached to a chassis 2 with screws 3, and the chassis 2 is built into the main body 4 by attaching it to the main body 4 via rubber 5 with screws 6. 7 is a shaft of the electric motor 1, and a small pulley 8 is attached to the shaft.

A small pulley 8 drives a large pulley 10 via a belt 9. The large pulley IJ-10 is attached to the shaft 11.
The shaft 11 is connected to the chassis 2 via an oilless bearing 12.
installed on. The oilless bearing 12 is positioned on the main body 4 via a rubber coupling 15. A connector 13 is attached to the tip of the shaft 11. A disk-shaped cutter attachment part 14 is detachably attached to the connector 13, and a protrusion on the upper part of the connector 13 fits into a groove provided in the attachment part 14, so that the force of the electric motor 1 is transmitted. A disk-shaped cutter 16 is attached to the attachment portion 14. A flange 16' is formed on the outer periphery of the disc-shaped cutter 16 and faces downward. Reference numeral 17 denotes a hook-shaped protrusion provided at the lower part of the container 18 placed on the main body 4, which is rotatably coupled to the protrusion 19 provided on the main body 4, and the container 18 is bayonetly coupled to the main body 4.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a container lid having an inlet 33, which is closed except for the inlet 33, and has a hook-shaped protrusion 2 provided at the bottom thereof.
1 is rotatably connected to a protrusion 22 provided on the top of the container 18, and the container lid 20 is bayonetly connected to the container 18.

23 is a protrusion provided on a part of the container lid 20. When the container lid 20 and the container 18 are bayonet-coupled, the tip thereof fits into the recess 27 provided in the upper part of the main body 4, and pushes the pin 25 to release the switch 26. The contacts are closed, and power is now supplied to the electric motor 1.

27 is a spring that returns the pin 25, 28 is a switch 26
29 is a lid that covers the switch mechanism attached to the upper part of the main body 4, 30 is a back plate that covers the lower part of the main body, and 31 is a leg.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a cylindrical portion formed in the center of the interior of the container 18 so as to protrude upward.

A spiral rib 1 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting portion 14 of the disc-shaped cutter inserted into the cylindrical portion 32.
C is formed to form a stepped portion. The twisting direction of this spiral rib 1C is a right-handed thread when the disc-shaped cutter 16 rotates clockwise when viewed from A in the figure, and a left-handed thread when it is counterclockwise.

Next, the operation and operation of the cooking machine will be explained.

A container 18 is bayonet connected to the main body 4, and a disk-shaped cutter attachment portion 14 is fitted into the connector 13. Then, the container lid 20 having the input port 33 is fitted onto the container 18.
0 is bayonet connected to the container 18. Then protrusion 23
presses the switch 26 via the pin 25, power is supplied to the motor 1, and the power of the motor 1 is transmitted to the shaft 11 via the belt 9. The power transmitted to the shaft 11 is transmitted to the mounting portion 14 of the disc-shaped cutter fitted thereto, and the disc-shaped cutter 16 rotates, thereby opening the input port 33 of the container lid 20.
Cut vegetables such as carrots, daikon radish, and Japanese yam thrown in from the garden.

However, in this type of cooking machine, the cylindrical part 32 at the center of the container is short, so when cutting highly viscous materials such as Japanese yam and yam, the material becomes a disc-shaped cutter attachment part]4
This causes an inconvenience in that it wraps around the shaft of the container and leaks from the cylindrical portion 32 in the center of the container.

However, in the case of the cooking machine described above, the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 14 of the disc-shaped cutter has a spiral rib. 1'' is provided to form a stepped portion, and when the disc-shaped cutter 16 rotates, an upward air flow, that is, pumping, occurs between the rib 14'' and the inner wall of the cylindrical portion 32 at the center of the container. As shown in Fig. 3, a spiral rib 322 may be provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 32 at the center of the container to form a stepped portion. Effects can be obtained.

At this time, the twisting effect of the rib 32'' is a left-handed thread when the disk cutter 16 rotates clockwise when viewed from A, and a right-handed thread when the opposite is the case.
The effect will be even greater if you combine Figure 3 with Figure 3.

Further, the ribs 14'', 32'' may have a single peak or multiple peaks, but generally they have multiple peaks, the height of the ribs is high, and the gap between the rotating parts is small, the more effective it is. Although the cross-sectional shape of the rib may be triangular or circular, a rectangular shape is most effective, and in consideration of cleaning, a rib with a circular cross-sectional shape is preferable. As described above, the cooking machine of the present invention has a simple method of providing a stepped portion on at least one of the disc-shaped cutter mounting portion and the cylindrical portion at the center of the container, so that when cutting a highly viscous material, the material can be easily removed from the container. This prevents leakage from the central portion, which in turn prevents connectors and the like from becoming stuck and unable to rotate, and is of great practical value.
