Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, food is chopped into small pieces using a knife cutter or the like in a container, or a continuous discharge guide is set on top of the container, a lid is placed on top of the container, and the food is sliced, shredded, etc. to the outside. This relates to a food cooking device that performs cutting while discharging food.

If this type of food cooking machine is operated with the lid removed, there is a risk of touching the knife cutter or slice cutter with one's fingers, which is very dangerous. Therefore, conventionally, in addition to the main switch, a switch operated by a lid, a so-called lid switch, was provided.
The circuit configuration was such that if the lid was not closed, the motor would not be energized even if the main switch was turned on. However, in a food cooking machine that is the subject of the present invention, which shares a container and a lid, adds an additional part as an attachment, and continuously discharges cut material to the outside, the above-mentioned The lid switch could not be used, so the machine had to be used with care.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a food cooking machine in which the knife cutter, slice cutter, etc. do not have to be touched during operation. To achieve this objective, the present invention provides two protrusions at different heights on the lid for operating the switch, so that the lid switch can be operated both when the knife cutter is used and when the continuous ejection guide is installed. This is what I did.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 are sectional views showing the embodiment when the chopping cutter is used and when the continuous discharge guide is attached, respectively. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case, which has a mounting plate 2 inside it, which is composed of a motor storage part and a container mounting part, and an electric motor 3 and a power shaft bearing 4 are mounted on this. A small pulley 5 is attached to the shaft of the electric motor 3, and the electric motor 3 transmits driving force via the small pulley 5 and belt 6 to a large pulley 8 attached to a power shaft 7 supported by a power shaft bearing 4. is conveying.
The power shaft 7 passes through a hole provided in the center of the container mounting portion of the main body case 1 and projects to the outside. 9
is a container which is attached and fixed by a fitting piece on the outer periphery of the container attachment part of the main body case 1, and has a penetration guide in the center thereof through which the power shaft 7 is passed. Reference numeral 10 denotes a lid that fits into the container 9 at its upper opening, and the lid 10 has an inlet 11 and protrusions 12 and 13 arranged at diagonal positions on the outer periphery. This protrusion 12,
Reference numeral 13 operates a micro switch 14 attached to the main body case 1. After setting the container 9 in the main case 1, cover the lid 10 and rotate it by a certain angle to open the container 9.
At the same time as the lid 10 is locked, the microswitch 14 is operated by the protrusion 12 to be in a conductive state. 15 is a chopping cutter, and power shaft 7
There are two knife cutters on the cutter stand that can be attached and detached from the knife.
The power shaft 7 is configured such that power is transmitted through a stepped portion provided in a part of the power shaft 7.

Next, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 16 denotes a continuous discharge guide, which is comprised of a fitting part 17 that is fitted with the container 9, a partition part 18, a top peripheral wall 19, and a discharge port 20, and a lid 10 is attached to the top surface thereof. Lid 10
When the protrusion 13 is attached, the protrusion 13 is located at a height that operates the microswitch 14, and by rotating and attaching the protrusion 13, the microswitch 14 is made conductive. 21 is a thin cutter, which is made by cutting up a part of a disc-shaped metal plate and attaching a blade to it. Reference numeral 22 denotes a cutter shaft that holds the slice cutter 21, engages with the power shaft 7, and applies rotational force to the slice cutter 21. 23
is a push button type main switch that controls the electric motor 3.

In the above configuration, its function will be explained below. First, when performing normal chopping, first
With the configuration shown in the figure, ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables, etc. are placed in the container 9, the lid 10 is placed on the container 9, the container 9 is rotated through a certain angle to lock the container 9 and the lid 10, and at the same time the protrusion provided on the lid 10 is Micro switch 1 by 12
4 to make it conductive. In this state, by turning on the main switch 23, the electric motor 3 rotates, and its rotational force is transmitted to the power shaft 7 via the small pulley 5, belt 6, and large pulley 8.
The mincing cutter 15 is rotated to mince the material in the container 9. Next, when slicing or julienne, etc., as shown in FIG. By inserting the material into the power shaft 7, covering it with the lid 10, and pushing the ingredients such as carrots and cucumbers through the inlet 11, the ingredients can be cut into thin slices 2.
It is sliced thinly by 1, cut into pieces, and discharged through the outlet 20.
Since it is discharged further to the outside, it is possible to cut a large amount continuously. In both of the above cases, when the lid 10 is not covered, the microswitch 14 does not become conductive and the electric motor 3 does not rotate, so the risk of touching the rotating cutter with fingers can be avoided.

As explained above, according to the present invention, for a food cooking machine with two types of functions, one lid can operate the safety switch in both cases, so it is extremely safe with a simple structure. You can get a food cooking machine.
