It is coupled to a coupling 29 that is linked to an electric motor.

Next, the lid 41 is placed on the top surface of the main body 1, and the rotating shaft 22 of the rotating body 20 is supported on the bearing 44, and the main body 1 is
When a protrusion provided on the lid body 41 is engaged with a locking hole (not shown) on the top surface and the lid body 41 is rotated in this state,
The protrusion is engaged with the engagement hole, and the lid body 41 is attached to the main body 1 and the spigot part 1 of the cooking case 12.
6 is fitted with the spigot wall 42 of the lid 41, and the lip portion 39 of the seal packing 38 is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the lid 41. In this state, the cooking case 12, the support case 5, the lid 41, and the main body 1 are connected to each other. The cover body 41 is held between the cover body 41 and the case fitting part 2, and the inner surface of the cover body 41 faces the cutting blade 35 and the protrusion 37 of the cutter 33 with a small gap therebetween.

When the electric motor is driven by operating the switch, the rotating body 20 is rotated. In this state, input port 4
The material to be cooked is introduced from step 5 and is pressed against the cutter 33 of the rotating body 20 using a push rod. The material to be cooked is the cutting blade 35 of the cutter 33
The cutter 33 is cut and pulverized, and is sent out toward the outer circumference of the cutter 33, and is then sent from the periphery of the rotating body 20 to the cooking case 1.
They are sequentially fed into the feeding guide section 13 of No. 2 and introduced between the squeezing section 32 of the rotating body 20 and the cooking case 12. Next, the material to be cooked fed between the squeezing part 32 of the rotary body 20 and the inner circumferential surface of the cooking case 12 is squeezed to extract the raw material, and the raw material is filtered by the filter 18 and sent to the raw material outflow chamber 8. The juice flows into the juice container 10 from the juice outlet 9 of the juice outflow chamber 8.

Moreover, the pomace of the material to be cooked is sent to the lower part of the cooking chamber 21, and is stored in the dregs storage section 6 through the dregs discharge port of the cooking case 12.

When the cooking material cut by the cutting blade 35 of the cutter 33 is fed toward the outer periphery of the cutter 33 by the rotation of the rotating body 20, the material protrudes from the upper surface of the cutter 33 higher than the blade height of the cutting blade 35. The material to be cooked is pushed upward at the position of the input port 45 by the protrusion 37, floats up from the upper surface of the cutter 33, is once released from the cutting blade 35, and is then changed to the cutting surface of the cutting blade 35 of the cutter 33 and cut again. This action is repeated, and the material to be cooked, especially its fibers, is cut into small pieces. The finely cut cooking material is fed into the squeezing part 32 of the rotating body 20 between the protrusion 37 and the lid 41 or from the notch 36 of the protrusion 37, so that the cooking material that is not finely cut is fed into the rotating body 20. Squeezing part 32 from the top surface of
Since large uncut materials to be cooked, especially long fibers, do not adhere to the squeezing portion 32 of the rotary body 20 and upset the balance of the rotary body 20, they do not cause vibrations. Further, uncut material such as fibers does not adhere to the filter 18 and reduce the effective filtration area.

Also, the protrusion 37 of the cutter 33 is
3, the input port 45
The to-be-cooked material inputted from the cutter 33 and cut by the cutting blade 35 of the cutter 33 is returned to the center of the cutter 33, retained on the cutter 33, and cut by the cutter 33.
The cutting time becomes longer, the cutting particles become finer, and the effect of separating the youth components can be improved.

Furthermore, the protrusion 37 of the cutter 33 is formed with notches 36 at a plurality of locations, so that the finely cut cooking material does not stay on the cutter 33 and is squeezed from the notch 36 of the protrusion 37 to the squeezing part 3.
2, and cutting is performed smoothly.

Furthermore, even if the juice separated from the cooking material cut by the cutter 33 is scattered due to centrifugal force, the lip portion 39 of the seal packing 38 is pressed against the inner surface of the lid body 41, and the lip portion of the seal packing 38 is pressed against the inner surface of the lid body 41. 39, the sealing effect is enhanced by increasing the internal pressure, and the juice content does not leak from the lid body 41.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, a cutter having a cutting blade is provided on the upper surface of a rotating body that rotates in a cooking case, and the cutter has a surface that is higher than the height of the cutting blade of the cutter and that faces the direction of rotation of the cutter. Since a protrusion is provided and a gap is provided between the protrusion and the lid body, the cutting surface of the material to be cooked that is cut by the cutting blade of the cutter is changed by the protrusion, and the fiber content of the material to be cooked is particularly fine. The cut and uncut cooking material is not sent to the squeezing part of the rotating body, but remains on the cutter and is further cut. Only the finely cut cooking material is sent to the squeezing part, so large uncut pieces of cooking material can be removed. The ingredients do not stick to the squeezing part, and the rotating body is prevented from becoming unbalanced and vibrating, allowing for stable cooking.
In addition, the effective filtration area will not be reduced due to clogging of the filter due to long fibrous cooking materials adhering to the filter, and the squeezing efficiency will not be reduced, increasing the effect of separating juices. It is.
