Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is a water agent/water crusher that can arbitrarily select a water agent and a water crusher with one device, and also allows the size of crushed ice in the water crusher to be arbitrarily selected. It provides equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a housing of a liquid medicine/water pulverization device, which has a circular planar substrate 2, and a main shaft 3 is fixed to the center thereof.

This main shaft 3 is rotatably equipped with a hopper 4, and the hopper 4 is provided with teeth 7 on its outer periphery that mesh with a bevel gear 6 fixed to a drive shaft 5.

Further, the rotation of the motor 12 is reduced and transmitted to the bevel gear 6 by reduction gears 8, 9, 10, and 11, and the hopper 4 rotates around the main shaft 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, this hopper 4 is provided with a partition wall 13 that is spirally inclined in the vertical direction.
has a slope that gradually decreases in height as it rotates.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a knob for attaching and detaching the hopper 4 to the main shaft 3, and a screw 15 provided at the upper end of the main shaft 3.
It is concluded by.

Reference numeral 16 indicates a cutter for liquid medicine, and reference numeral 17 indicates a cutter for crushing water, which are each fixed to the bottom rear surface of the substrate 2.

Reference numeral 18 is a lever whose angle is variable, and a lever shaft 19 allows the substrate 2 to be
It is pivoted so that the angle can be varied with respect to the plane of
It is designed to always fall downward due to a spring (not shown), and includes a ratchet 20 that is integrated with the ratchet 20, and a rotatable claw 22 that is pivoted on an operating shaft 21 and is always pulled upward by a spring.
This allows it to be fixed at a predetermined angle.

When the claw 22 is turned downward by an external operation, the lever 18
The ratchet portion 20 and the pawl 22 are disengaged, and the lever 18 falls down by the force of the spring.

Furthermore, when the knob 23 connected to the shaft 19 is turned from the above state, the ratchet part 20 and the pawl 22 are engaged, and by setting this engagement position arbitrarily, the lever 18 can be fixed at an arbitrary angle.

In addition, in front of the water medicine cutter 16 (in the direction opposite to the hopper rotation direction) there is a flat part 2a that is integrated with the substrate 2, and further in front of the flat part 2a is an ice frame part that has a lever 18, a water crushing cutter 17, etc. The water crushing cutter 17 is shown in Fig. 5A,
As shown in B and C, a vertical sharp protrusion 17
a and a flat mounting part 17b are bent, and a small hole 17e provided in the mounting part 17b allows the flat part 2 of the board to be bent.
It is attached to the back surface of the container a with screws 17f, and the protruding parts 17a are arranged to protrude into the water frame part.

Figures 5A and 5C show configuration examples for three cutters, and Figure B for two cutters.By combining these,
Various cutters can be configured.

Further, 17c in FIGS. 5A and 5C is a convex portion formed by bending integrally with the attachment portion 17b, and is fitted into the cutout portion 17d of the attachment portion 17b to prevent the cutter from rotating.

In addition, in FIG. 5B, there is no need to prevent rotation since it is secured with two screws.

In addition, in FIG. 5C, a step is provided in the mounting portion 17b so that when the cutters are stacked and mounted on the back side of the board 2, the thickness from the board surface becomes the same.
This is to prevent crushed ice from becoming easily clogged (making the passage narrower) if this part becomes thicker when the angle is made smaller.

Note that 24 is a container for receiving liquid medicine and crushed ice, and 25 is a lid that covers the hopper 4 and the housing 1.

Next, the operation will be explained.

Now, the drive unit 5 is rotated by the motor 12, and the hopper 4
When the hopper is rotated and ice cubes or the like are thrown into this hopper from above, the ice cubes are pushed forward by the partition wall 13 and rotate over the surface of the substrate 2 in the same way as the hopper 4.

At this time, if the lever 18 is fixed so that it is flush with the plane of the substrate 2, the water crushing cutter 17 is completely hidden and does not have any effect on the ice cubes. Shaved ice can be made using the ice cream cutter 16.

In addition, when the claw 22 is slightly turned by an external operation, the ratchet 20 comes off, and the lever 18 falls down due to the spring force, creating a large hole in the flat part of the board 2, and at the same time, the water crushing cutter 17 appears. The ice cubes fall into this hole, hit the water crushing cutter 17, are pressed against the partition wall 13 of the hopper 4, are crushed and fall downward, and ice blocks of an appropriate size are obtained.

Also, when the knob 23 is turned and the lever 18 is returned to a desired angle, the ratchet portion 20 and the pawl 2 set at that angle can be rotated.
2 engage with each other, and the lever 18 is fixed at that angle.

In this case, the ice cubes are crushed in the same way, but since the angle of the lever 18 is smaller, only the ungrown ice falls, resulting in a smaller ice block than the one described above.

Here, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 to 5, several cutters 17 for crushing water are lined up with sharp tips protruding into the holes of the substrate 2.

The water crushing cutter 17 must be mounted on the flat portion 2a of the substrate 2 in front of the liquid medicine cutter 17.

If it is installed at the same time as the liquid medicine cutter 16 in a configuration like that shown in Fig. 6, the water crushing cutter 17 will become jammed when the liquid medicine is being used, and the shaved ice will become clogged and difficult to fall down.
The water crushing cutter 17 becomes longer, and the durability of the cutter becomes a problem.

In addition, this flat part 2a is used for the water agent cutter 1 when cutting ice.
6. This is necessary to stabilize the blade height and stabilize the performance of the liquid dispensing agent. Due to the misalignment, the falling position of the shaved ice protrudes from the container 24.

Also, if the hole in the crushing part is made small, the ice will not fall into the hole and will go around the hole, making it impossible to crush the ice.

Therefore, this flat portion 2a can only have a limited width, and the mounting area for the water crushing cutter 17 is also limited.

Therefore, as a method of constructing the water crushing cutter, inserting it into the substrate 2 may be considered, but as described above, the insert portion is short and durability is a problem.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the attachment part 17b of the cutter 17
There is a method in which the cutter and the protruding portion 17a are made separately and then integrated by welding or the like to form a water fracking cutter, but this method is time-consuming and has poor workability.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
If the mounting part 17b is thick and the screw 17
Ice tends to clog when the angle of the lever 18 is reduced, such as at the head of f.

However, the water medication and granulation device of the present invention allows a single device to arbitrarily select a liquid medication and granulation, and also allows the size of the granulation to be selected.

The water fracking cutter consists of a bent mounting part and a protruding part, and is fixed to the back side of the board at the mounting part, so it is easy to process and mount, and has excellent strength and performance. It is also showing excellent results with no problems.
