DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an electric cooker for shredding workpieces such as fruits and vegetables.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a cooking device for cutting or shredding workpieces such as fruits and vegetables, a container is attached to the top surface of the main body in which a motor is arranged, and the cooking device is introduced into the container. The cutter is attached to a rotary shaft inserted into the container and the workpiece is rolled on the upper surface of the cutter to cut the workpiece, while the cutter is attached to the rotary shaft introduced into the container and the material is fed into the lid of the container. There is a type in which the workpiece is inserted through the mouth and pressed, and the workpiece is cut with a cutter.

Input the workpiece from the latter material input port and press it.
As shown in FIG. 13, in a type of cutter that cuts a workpiece, a motor (not shown) is disposed in a main body 50, and the main body 50 is rotated by the motor from the top surface. A rotating shaft 51 protrudes, and a switch 52 is disposed on the side.

The rotating shaft 51 connects to a motor shaft (
(not shown).

A slice cutter shaft 54 to which a slice cutter 53 is fixed is detachably attached to the tip.

The container 55 is removably placed on the upper surface of the main body 50, and a cylindrical portion 56 is erected in the center of the container 55, and a slice cutter shaft attached to the rotating shaft 51 is attached to the cylindrical portion 56. 54 is introduced and the slice cutter 53 is disposed within the container 55.

The upper end opening of the container 55 and the main body portion of the main body 50 facing the switch 52 are covered by a lid body 57.
An opening 59 provided with a guide portion 58 is transparently provided in the center of the lid body 57, and a push plate 60 for pressing the workpiece on the slice car 2 tar 53 is provided in the opening 59.
A push rod 61 having a tip fixed thereto is held by the guide portion 58 and slidably inserted therein. A switch suppressing piece 62 for turning on the switch 52 is provided on the back surface of the lid 57 facing the protrusion of the main body on which the switch 52 is disposed.

As shown in FIG. 14, the slice cutter 53 is provided with two holes 64 into which fingers can be inserted.

With this configuration, when the upper end opening of the container 55 is closed with the lid 57 and the portion of the lid 57 facing the switch suppressing piece 62 is pressed, the switch 52 is turned on, the motor is driven, and the rotation is started. Slice cutter 53 via shaft 51
rotates. Therefore, when the grip part 63 of the push rod 60 is pressed, the workpiece in the container 55 is pressed against the push plate 60 and cut by the blade 53a of the slice cutter 53, through the slit 65 provided on the entire surface of the blade 53a. It falls into the container 55.

When cleaning the cutter 53 after cooking, use the hole 64.
It is configured such that it can be removed from the rotating shaft 51 by inserting a finger into it.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a tab 71 is provided in the center of the cutter 70 in the direction of the upper surface, and this tab 71 and the cutting edge of the blade 72 in the center direction are provided. 72a is formed to be relatively wide so that when gripping portion 71 is gripped by fingers, fingertips are not damaged by cutting edge 72a.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the type shown in FIGS. 13 to 14, the hole 64 provided on the surface of the slice carter 53 for inserting a finger is relatively large. When cutting thin materials such as , green onions, etc., there is a problem in that the uncut material falls from the hole 64 into the container 55 .

In addition, in the type shown in FIGS. 15 to 16, the distance W between the knob 71 and the cutting edge 72a in the center direction of the blade 72 is formed relatively wide, so that As the length L of the blade 72 becomes smaller, the cutting efficiency deteriorates, and as the dimensions of the blade 72 become smaller, the dimensions of the inlet also become smaller, making it possible to insert large materials such as cabbage into the inlet. It must be cut to size and then put in.
The problem is that it is very troublesome.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a disc-shaped cutter with a blade on the upper surface, and a knob portion protruding toward the upper surface of the cutter at the rotation center of the cutter. By providing a stepped portion at the lower end of this knob, the cutter can be easily attached to and detached from the rotating shaft without injuring fingers.

[Operation] After the upper end opening of the container is closed with a lid, the workpiece is put into the charging port of the charging cylinder provided in the lid. When the switch is turned on and the motor is driven, the shaft rotates once and the cutter rotates, so when the push rod presses the workpiece on the cutter, the workpiece is cut by the cutter.
It is stored at the bottom of the container.

To remove the cutter from the rotating shaft after cooking, hold the knob with your fingers and pull it upwards, but at this time, your fingertips should touch the stepped part located higher than the cutting edge in the direction of the center of the blade. This prevents damage caused by the cutting edge of the cutter blade towards the center.
