Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a device for cutting vegetables, fruits, etc.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been vegetable cutters that cut vegetables using electric motors. In this conventional cutter, a casing is attached to a drive unit body that accommodates a motor and projects an output shaft of the motor so as to receive this output shaft, and a cutter connected to the output shaft is housed within the casing. The casing is integrally fixed to the drive unit body with screws or the like. The casing is formed with an inlet portion for inserting vegetables etc. to be cut and an outlet portion for discharging the cut vegetables. The vegetables inserted through the inlet are cut by the cutter and discharged from the casing through the outlet.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional cutters, the casing is integrally fixed to the main body of the drive section with screws or the like, and therefore cannot be easily removed from the main body. Therefore, the inside of the casing must be cleaned while the casing remains fixed to the main body, which is a cumbersome task.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a drive unit body that houses the motor and projects the output shaft of the motor from the mounting surface, and a mounting surface. A casing that is removably attached to the casing, has an inlet tube through which the output shaft is inserted, an inlet tube for inserting the object to be cut, and an outlet through which the object to be cut passes; The cutter is connected to a shaft and rotates to cut the object inserted from the inlet tube.

Example The present invention will be explained below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. A casing 2 is removably attached to a drive unit main body 1 that accommodates a motor (not shown), and a cutter 3 can be accommodated in the casing 2 and the motor. It is connected to the output shaft 4 of and is rotationally driven.

The circular mounting surface 5 formed on the upper part of the drive unit main body 1 has a
A disk-shaped mounting plate 6 is integrally fixed via screws 7. The mounting plate 6Irs has a hole 8 in the center through which the output shaft 4 of the motor is inserted, and has hook portions 9 and 10 formed on opposite sides of the hole 8 on the peripheral edge thereof. Kori, Ra's hook part 9.
10 is a rising portion 9 a + connected to the edge of the mounting plate 60
10 m, and the retaining parts 9b and 10b extend outward in the radial direction.
and respectively. Output shaft 4I-j: One side surface at the tip thereof is formed into a planar shape and serves as a turning stop portion 11.

The casing 2 includes a main body 12 that is detachably attached to the mounting plate 6, and a lid 14 that is swingably supported by the main body 12 via a hinge 13 and can close the main body 12.

The main body 12 has a hole 15 through which the output shaft 4 of the motor passes, and a pair of retaining holes 16 through which the hook portions 9 and 10 are inserted.
．． 17 is formed. These retaining holes 16.17 have wide portions 16a, 17m through which the engaging portions 9b, 10b of the hook portion 9.10 can be inserted, and a rising portion 9m of the hook portion 9.10.
, loa are inserted through, but the engaging portions 9b and 10bld are not inserted through narrow portions 16b and 17b. Further, these retaining holes 16, 17 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the hole 15, and wide portions 16a and 17m are formed on the clockwise side, respectively.

On the other hand, the lid 14 has an inlet tube 20 for taking vegetables to be cut into the casing 12. This inlet tube 20 is the lid 1
4, and as shown in FIG. 3, it has a cocoon-like shape when viewed from the front. That is, the vegetables effectively interfere with the cutter blade 21 of the cutter 3, which will be described later, 1 and do not come into contact with the center of the cutter 3. Note that a presser foot 22 is provided approximately at the center of the back surface of the lid 14 to support the center portion of the cutter 3 and prevent the cutter 3 from being displaced in the axial direction.
is installed.

The lid 14 is swingable about the hinge 13, and by engaging the protrusion 23 provided on the edge of the lid 14 into the hole of the locking portion 24 formed on the edge of the main body 12, the main body 1
Block 2. In this closed state, a discharge port 25 is formed at the lower end of the casing 2 and opens downward. This discharge port 25 is for discharging the cut vegetables to the outside of the casing 2, and in order to facilitate the discharge operation, a slope 26 is provided at the lower end of the main body 12.

The cutter 3 has a disk shape as shown in FIG. 2, and has a square hole 27 formed in the center thereof into which the output shaft 4 of the motor is fitted, and a pair of elongated holes drilled approximately in the radial direction. A cutter blade 21 is installed in each of the blades 28. The surface of the plate 29 inserted tightly into one surface of the square hole 27 engages with the rotation stopper 11 of the output shaft 4, thereby transmitting the rotation of the output shaft 4 to the cutter 3. ing.

Since the apparatus of this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, it can be assembled and disassembled as follows.

When assembling, rotate the casing 2 approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise from the position shown in FIG.
The wide portions 16a and 17i'i of the hook portions 9° and 10 correspond to each other. Then, move the casing 2 in the direction shown by the two-dot chain line I, place the output shaft 4 in the hole 15, and place the hook part 9.10 in the engagement hole 1.
6 and 17, respectively. Next, the casing 2 is rotated approximately 30° clockwise, and the hook portion 9.10 is inserted into the narrow portion 16b of the engagement hole 16,17.

17b. Therefore, the engaging portion 9 of the hook portion 9.10
b, the back side of 10b abuts against the surface of the main body 12 of the casing 2, thereby fixing the casing 2 to the mounting plate 6 as shown in FIG.

Next, as shown by the two-dot chain line J in FIG.
Attach it to the output shaft 4. At this time, the rotation preventing portion 11 of the output shaft 4 is brought into contact with the plate 29 of the square hole 27, and the output shaft 4 is fitted into the square hole 27.

Then, when the lid 14 is closed and the protrusion 23 is locked with the locking part 24, the state shown in FIG. , vegetables can be inserted through the inlet tube 20. The vegetables cut by the cutter 3 are discharged from the discharge port 25 below the casing 2.

Contrary to the above, to remove the casing 2 from the drive body 1, first turn off the switch and turn the cutter 3.

stop rolling. Then, the protrusion 23 is released from the locking part 24, the lid 14tl is opened, and the cutter 3 is extracted from the output shaft 4.

Next, rotate the main body 14 of the gauging 20 about 30' counterclockwise to fit the hook parts 9 and 10 into the wide part 16 of the engagement hole 16°17.
a, 17m, and remove the casing 2 from the hook portion 9.10.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the casing can be easily assembled and removed, and the gauging cleaning and other maintenance work can be made very easy.
