Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a cutter device for a food processor.

In food processors, different types of cutters are used to cut ingredients, such as slicing, shredding, and grating. As a result, it is troublesome to set up the cutters during use, and the storage case for storing each cutter also becomes large.

For this reason, the present applicant proposed a method in which a plurality of cutting bodies having different cutting blades for different purposes were attached to a cutter stand, and these cutting bodies were selectively used. proposed by.

The object of this invention is to provide a cutter device for a food processor that can be easily assembled, in which a cutting body having a plurality of cutting blades for different purposes is attached to a single cutter stand.

This idea is to form a cutter base by overlapping a lower ring and an upper ring consisting of a boss, a rib, and an annular wall and joining the ribs, and when the lower ring and upper ring are overlapped and integrated. The structure is such that assembly is easy by assembling a plurality of cutting bodies at the same time.

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a base, and a container 4 closed by a lid 3 having a material input port 2 is detachably attached to the base 1. A spindle 5 protrudes from the center of the bottom of the container 4, which is connected to a motor (not shown) as a drive unit within the base 1 and rotates about a vertical axis. A cutter stand 6 driven by this spindle 5 is provided. This cutter stand 6 is made by connecting a lower ring 8 and an upper ring 9 with a screw 10 to which a rotating shaft 7 is removably attached, which is fitted to the spindle 5 so as to be prevented from rotating but slidable in the axial direction. . The rotating shaft 7 may be screwed into the center of the lower ring 8 as shown in FIG. Any structure may be used as long as it is formed on the shaft 7 and can be connected detachably in the axial direction while being prevented from rotating equally. A circular space 11 is formed in the center of this cutter stand 6 by combining the lower ring 8 and the upper ring 9.
Three ribs 13 are formed radially from a cylindrical boss 12 surrounding this space 11. An arcuate annular wall 6a connecting the tips of the respective ribs 13 is formed on the lower ring 8 and the upper ring 9 on the same circumference. There are provided plate members 14, 15, and 16 each made of steel and shaped like a fan. A cutting blade 17 for shearing is formed on the plate material 14, a cutting blade 18 for grating is formed on the plate material 15, and a cutting blade 19 for slicing is formed on the plate material 16. These plates 1
4, 15, 16, the cutting body 14 is fixed by fixing support shafts 20, 21 at the center of its base and periphery.
a, 15a, 16a, and these cutting bodies 14a, 15a, 16a are
0 and 21 are rotatably and axially slidably held in the fitting holes 22 formed in the joint surfaces of the upper ring 9 and the lower ring 8.
It is attached so that it can be rotated around 0 and 21 and slidable in the radial direction. A slot 23 is formed on the support shaft 21, and this support shaft 21
The fitting hole 22 on the annular wall 6a side into which the support shaft 21 is fitted is formed to match the cross-sectional shape of the portion of the support shaft 21 where the slot 23 is formed. A plate material 1 is provided in the space 11 in contact with the support shaft 20.
A ring-shaped spring 24 or other elastic member is housed therein to bias the elements 4, 15, and 16 in the centrifugal direction.
Furthermore, a through hole 25 is formed at the bottom of the space 11 to allow moisture that has entered the inside to escape. The peripheral edges of the plates 14, 15, and 16 that are urged outward are the cutter bases 6.
supported by an upward step 26 formed near the outer periphery of the
A gap 27 is formed between the boss 12 and the rib 13.

In such a configuration, when the motor is driven, the spindle 5 drives the cutter base 5. In this state, materials such as vegetables and fruits are input from the material input cylinder 2 and various cutting operations are performed. Cutting blade 17, depending on the application
Select either 18 or 19, and the operation will be explained below. First, push the support shaft 21 and press the plate material 14,1.
Push either 5 or 16 inward. This results in
The peripheral edges of the plates 14, 15, and 16 are removed from the stepped portion 26. Therefore, the plates 14, 15, 16 are attached to the support shaft 2.
It is reversed using 0 and 21 as fulcrums, slides in the centrifugal direction by the force of the spring 24, and is supported by the stepped portion 26 again. That is, the cutting edge 1 facing upward
Cutting is performed by any one of 7, 18, and 19. Therefore, the operation of selectively setting the cutting blades 17, 18, 19 within the cutting surface can be performed with one touch without using any tools. Since the unused cutting blades 17, 18, and 19 are also held in the cutter stand 6 in a downward state, the storage space is greatly reduced and loss is also prevented. In particular, since the rotary shaft 7 and the cutter base 6 can be separated, it is even less bulky. During cutting, the plate materials 14, 15, and 16 are biased by centrifugal force in addition to the force of the spring 24, so that the stepped portion 2
The amount of overlap with 6 is reliably maintained. Also, plate material 1
4, 15, and 16, by forming a slot 23 in the support shaft 21, the difference between the major axis and the minor axis is created between the support shaft 21 and the fitting hole 22 as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the middle of the reversal, as shown in FIG.
The plates 14, 15, 16 are held stable in the horizontal plane, and a clear moderation can be obtained when inverted.

Note that a spindle 5 protruding from the bottom of the container 4
may be a rotating shaft that is detachably attached to the cutter base 6 while being prevented from rotating.

As mentioned above, this invention forms a cutter base by overlapping a lower ring and an upper ring, which are each made of a boss, a rib, and an annular wall, and joining the ribs.
When multiple types of cutting bodies made of fan-shaped plate materials are superimposed on the cutter base and integrated with the lower ring and the upper ring, these cutting bodies are assembled at the same time, so that this assembly can be easily performed. It is possible to fix the lower ring and the upper ring by simply fixing the ribs of both, which has the advantage of being extremely simple.
