The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. To fully disclose the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
Hereinafter, a food material pulverizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. FIG.
1 is a perspective view illustrating a food material pulverizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The food material pulverizing apparatus (1) according to the present invention is a device for finely grinding food materials such as buns and tortillas, especially meat masses to be mixed with other ingredients. However, the food material grinding apparatus 1 is not limited to finely chopping a meat mass, and may be used for cooking vegetables such as pepper, garlic, and ginger.
The food material pulverizing device 1 allows a worker to put a large amount of food material into the pulverizing device at once, thereby greatly reducing the labor force. Therefore, a single operator can operate several grinding apparatuses at the same time, thereby greatly improving work productivity. In addition, since the food material is automatically supplied into the inner insertion portion where the screw rotates while accommodating a large amount of the food material in advance, the worker is completely separated from the dangerous screw, and the accident can be prevented. In particular, most of the components such as the supply container, the moving plate, the rotary shaft, and the screw are made to be disassemblable so that the cleaning and the maintenance after the operation are easy. Also, since the screw and the moving plate are simultaneously driven by a single power source, the size is small and the space is easily utilized and the power loss is small.
Hereinafter, the food material pulverizing apparatus 1 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 2 to 7. Fig.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the food material pulverizing apparatus of Fig. 1 cut in the longitudinal direction, Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the supply container portion of Fig. 1, Fig. FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part A of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 5, and FIG.
The food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a supply container 10, at least one moving plate 20, an inner feeding portion 30, and a screw 40.
The supply container 10 is a tubular member and accommodates the ingredients (see M in Fig. 8) inside. The supply container 10 has a food material outlet 10a formed at one side thereof and a food material supply port 10b formed at the other side thereof. The food material outlet 10a is for discharging the food material M contained in the supply container 10 to the inside of the inner insertion portion 30. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, . The food material supply port 10b is for inserting the food material M into the supply container 10 and may be formed on the upper side of the supply container 10 opposed to the food material discharge port 10a. That is, the food material M stored in the supply container 10 through the food material supply port 10b is discharged to the inner supply port 30 through the food material discharge port 10a.
The food material discharge port 10a is not limited to the one formed on the bottom surface of the supply container 10 but may be formed at another position of the supply container 10 according to the structure and movement path of the moving plate 20 to be described later . In addition, a plurality of food material discharge ports 10a may be formed in the supply container 10 as required. For example, when the food material M is supplied to the plurality of inner insertion portions 30 with one supply container 10, it is possible to form a plurality of food material outlets 10a according to the number of the inner insertion portions 30 have. The food material feed port 10b may be sealed by a lid (see 11 in Fig. 10), and the lid 11 may be detachably coupled to the supply container 10. [ At least one moving plate (20) is accommodated in the supply container (10).
The moving plate 20 can be formed of a plate member made of a special rubber material which is harmless to human body such as aluminum material or silicone or urethane by pushing the food material M to the food material outlet port 10a. That is, when at least one of the supply container 10 and the moving plate 20 moves, the food material M is pushed by the moving plate 20 to be discharged to the food material outlet 10a formed on the bottom surface of the supply container 10 . Although the moving plate 20 is illustrated as being formed in a single piece on the drawing, the present invention is not limited thereto. The moving plate 20 may be formed of a plurality of, for example, two or three. Hereinafter, the structure in which the supply container 10 is fixed and the moving plate 20 moves inside the supply container 10 to push the food material M to the food material outlet 10a will be described more specifically.
The food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is explained by taking the structure of the moving plate 20 of the rotating type as an example but it is not limited to the structure of rotating it by being connected to the rotating shaft, A structure capable of pushing the food material M by sliding movement is also possible.
The moving plate 20 can move in close contact with the bottom surface of the supply container 10 and can be coupled to the supply container 10 with the rotating shaft 21. In other words, the moving plate 20 is detachably coupled to the rotating shaft 21 provided so as to protrude in the vertical direction on the bottom surface of the supply container 10, and can rotate about the rotating shaft 21. The moving plate 20 moves in close contact with the bottom surface of the supply container 10 so that not only the frozen food material M but also the food material M partially thawed and brought into close contact with the bottom surface can be easily transported to the food material outlet 10a Can be discharged. The moving plate 20 is coupled to the rotating shaft 21 and rotates around the rotating shaft 21 so that the food material M can be quickly and continuously discharged to the food material outlet 10a. Further, since the moving plate 20 is detachably coupled to the rotating shaft 21, it is easy to replace the moving plate 20 when the moving plate 20 is worn or damaged. In addition, the moving plate 20 can be easily cleaned, can do. However, the rotary shaft 21 is not limited to be provided so as to protrude perpendicularly to the bottom surface of the supply container 10, and if necessary, the rotary shaft 21 may protrude from the bottom surface of the supply container 10 at a specific angle .
The above-described supply container 10 has a cylindrical shape with the rotation axis 21 as a center, and a surface in contact with the bottom surface can form an inclined surface. The inclined surface is formed in the supply container 10 so that when a part of a plurality of food materials M accommodated in the supply container 10 is discharged to the food material outlet 10a, the remaining food material M on the upper side is rolled along the inclined surface, Plane. That is, the food material M can be moved to the floor without any driving force. At this time, since the food material outlet 10a is arranged so that one side is in contact with the inclined surface, some of the food materials M rolled along the inclined surface may be discharged directly to the food material outlet 10a without contacting the moving plate 20 have. The upper portion of the supply container 10 may be formed in a cylindrical shape to maximize the space for containing the food M and make the lower portion thereof be a slope so that the food M can be easily rolled down. However, the supply container 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the surface contacting the bottom surface of the supply container 10 is not limited to the inclined surface, and the shape of the supply container 10 may be variously modified .
The moving plate 20 can be installed only in the lower part which is a part of the supply container 10. [ That is, the moving plate 20 can be installed so as to be in contact with the bottom surface and the inclined surface of the supply container 10, respectively. The moving plate 20 can push only the food materials M located in the lower portion of the food materials M stored in the supply container 10 by rotating the bottom plate and the side surfaces of the moving plate 20 in contact with the bottom surface and the inclined surface of the supply container 10, have. In this way, it is possible to prevent the inefficiency of rotating all the food materials M contained in the supply container 10. That is, the moving plate 20 rotates only in the lower part of the supply container 10 to push the food material M into the food material outlet 10a and feed the food material M to the food material outlet 10a, The food material (M) on the upper part of the dish is pushed down. In this manner, the supply container 10 is formed with an inclined surface at the bottom, so that the food material M can be automatically rolled down. Particularly, when the moving plate 20 is formed only on the inclined surface of the supply container 10, it is possible to reduce the pushing area of the moving plate 20, thereby reducing the power resistance.
The rotation shaft 21 may be connected to the drive motor 70 by a gear box 60 having a plurality of gears and the gear box 60 may transmit the rotational force of the drive motor 70 to the rotation shaft 21 The rotating shaft 21 and the moving plate 20 can be rotated. In other words, the driving gear 71 connected to the driving motor 70 rotates and engages with the first gear 61, and the first gear 61 rotates the second gear 62 connected to the same shaft. The second gear 62 rotates and meshes with the third gear 63 and the third gear 63 rotates the fourth gear 64 connected to the same shaft. The fourth gear 64 rotates and meshes with the fifth gear 65, and the fifth gear 65 rotates the sixth gear 66 connected to the same shaft. The sixth gear 66 rotates and meshes with the seventh gear 67, and the seventh gear 67 rotates the transmission shaft 68 connected to the same shaft. Since the rotary shaft 21 is detachably coupled to the end of the transmission shaft 68, the rotary shaft 21 and the moving plate 20 rotate as the transmission shaft 68 rotates. In this case, the drive gear 71 and the first gear 61 to the fifth gear 65 may be formed as flat gears, and the sixth gear 66 and the seventh gear 67 may be formed as helical gears or bevels Gears.
The rotational force generated from the drive motor 70 can be transmitted to the rotary shaft 21 in a decelerated state by sequentially passing through the plurality of gears 61 to 67 constituting the gear box 60. [ Since the rotary shaft 21 is detachably coupled to the end of the transmission shaft 68 as described above, the rotary shaft 21 can be easily replaced when the rotary shaft 21 is worn or damaged. You can work hygienically. However, the present invention is not limited to the case where the rotational force of the drive motor 70 is transmitted to the rotational shaft 21 by the gear box 60. The rotational force of the drive motor 70 may be transmitted to the rotational shaft 21 . For example, the rotational force of the drive motor 70 may be transmitted to the rotary shaft 21 by at least one belt forming a closed loop. In addition, the food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the one in which the drive motor 70 is built in, and may be operated by an external drive source.
In the food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to the present invention, when the moving plate 20 and the rotating shaft 21 are not rotated due to the food M being caught, the rotating force of the driving motor 70 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 21 A device can be provided that can block something. That is, when the rotary shaft 21 can not be rotated by the food material M or foreign matter, a device for preventing the drive motor 70 from being overloaded is provided. A plurality of gears 61 to 67 constituting the gear box 60 and a plurality of gears 61 to 67 which are connected to the drive motor 70 by means of a device for blocking the transmission of the rotational force of the drive motor 70 in the event of an emergency to the rotary shaft 21. [ It is possible to prevent the load from being applied in the direction. In other words, it is possible to prevent an overload from occurring in the plurality of gears 61 to 67 and the drive motor 70, thereby extending the service life of the device. The overload prevention device included in the rotary shaft 21 interrupts the rotational force transmitted from the drive motor 70 and is not transmitted to the moving plate 20 when a load larger than a predetermined size is applied to the rotary shaft 21. The overheat prevention device is a device that makes the transmission shaft 68 idle when a certain torque or more is applied to the rotation shaft 21. Hereinafter, an exemplary structure of the overheat prevention device is shown. In addition, an overheat prevention device having various structures capable of performing the same function may be used.
An overload prevention device is accommodated in the rotary shaft (21). The overload protection device includes a lower gear 22, an upper gear 23, and an elastic member. In the following description, the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 of the ratchet structure and the elastic member of the general spring 26 are described as an example, but the invention is not limited thereto. That is, the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are not limited to the ratchet gear type shown in the drawings, but may be various gears such as a general gear structure or a structure in which a ball is inserted between gears, Or a gear structure.
A housing 24 is accommodated in the rotary shaft 21 and a lower gear 22, an upper gear 23, a central shaft 25, a spring 26, and a tightening nut 27 are accommodated.
The housing (24) is a tubular member penetrating through the center, and is detachably coupled to the inner surface of the rotary shaft (21). For example, the housing 24 and the rotary shaft 21 are formed in a polygonal, e.g., hexagonal, shape on the outer side and the inner side, respectively. As the rotary shaft 21 is placed on the upper portion of the housing 24, . However, the outer surface of the housing 24 and the inner surface of the rotary shaft 21 are formed in a polygonal shape and are not necessarily fastened to each other. The housing 24 and the rotary shaft 21 can be fastened, . For example, the housing 24 and the rotary shaft 21 may be concave-convex. The housing 24 is formed with a space on the upper side and a space on the lower side, and the upper space and the lower space can communicate with each other by a penetrating center. At this time, the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are accommodated in the lower space, at least a part of the spring 26 and the tightening nut 27 are accommodated in the upper space, can do.
The lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are wheel members each having teeth formed along the surfaces contacting with each other, and each tooth can be formed as a sloped surface and a vertical surface as shown in the figure. The lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are rotated in only one direction in a state where the teeth are engaged with each other and are engaged with each other. At this time, the vertical surface formed on the teeth can be rotated in a direction to be pushed. The lower gear 22 is concave and convex on one side, for example, the lower portion of the transmission shaft 68, and the upper gear 23 can be concavo-convex coupled to the housing 24 on one side, for example, . The upper gear 23 may be directly coupled to the rotary shaft 21 without passing through the housing 24 as required. Further, the spring 26 transmits an elastic force to bring the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 in close contact with each other. Therefore, when the transmission shaft 68 rotates, the lower gear 22 rotates while being fastened to the upper gear 23, and at the same time, the housing 24 can rotate. As the housing 24 rotates, the rotary shaft 21 rotates, whereby the movable plate 20 can rotate.
When the moving plate 20 and the rotary shaft 21 are not rotated due to the food material M being caught, the housing 24 fastened to the rotary shaft 21 and the upper gear 23 coupled to the housing 24 It will not rotate. The transmission shaft 68 and the lower gear 22 are continuously rotated by the rotational force of the drive motor 70 and the lower gear 22 transmits the rotational force to the upper gear 23, Is moved upward along the inclined surface of the lower gear 22. That is, the upper gear 23 overcomes the tension of the spring 26 and moves beyond the gear teeth of the lower gear 22. Therefore, even if the moving plate 20 is stopped, the transmission shaft 68 and the lower gear 22 can continue to rotate, thereby preventing the load from being applied to the gear box 60 and the driving motor 70.
Although the outer upper surface of the transmission shaft 68 and the inner lower surface of the housing 24 are formed with elliptical protrusions in the drawing, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the position and shape of the protrusions may be variously modified.
One end of the central shaft 25 is connected to the transmission shaft 68 and the other end of the central shaft 25 can pass through the center of the housing 24 and be positioned in the upper space in a free end shape. The center shaft 25 can be screwed with the tightening nut 27 through the center of the spiral spring 26 at the other end. The elastic force of the spring 26 can act on the housing 24 and the upper gear 23 and the lower gear 22 as the center shaft 25 penetrates the spring 26 and is fastened with the tightening nut 27 . For example, as the tightening nut 27 is tightened on the central shaft 25, the spring 26 is compressed, so that the fastening force between the upper gear 23 and the lower gear 22 can be increased. As the fastening force between the upper gear 23 and the lower gear 22 increases, the force of the moving plate 20 pushing the food M increases. Conversely, as the tightening nut 27 is loosened, the spring 26 is relaxed, so that the fastening force between the upper gear 23 and the lower gear 22 can be reduced. When the fastening force of the upper gear 23 and the lower gear 22 is reduced, the force of the moving plate 20 pushing the food M is weakened, and even if the moving plate 20 is caught with the small- Power can be easily blocked. The degree of tightening of the tightening nut 27 and the elasticity coefficient of the spring 26 can be appropriately adjusted according to the amount, size, hardness and the like of the food M.
On the other hand, the food material M discharged into the food material outlet 10a is inserted into the inner input portion 30. [ The inner insertion portion 30 is a tubular member for grinding the food M and is located at the lower portion of the supply container 10 so that the upper side communicates with the food material outlet 10a and the net 31 is installed do. At this time, the supply container 10 may be detachably coupled to the inner insertion portion 30. [ And the supply container 10 is detachably coupled to the inner insertion portion 30, so that the supply container 10 can be easily replaced and cleaned. The supply container 10 can be detached from the main body (see 100 in Fig. 1) in which the inner insertion portion 30, particularly the inner insertion portion 30, is accommodated by the operation of the second detachment lever And at least one second detachable lever 90 may be installed on the side surface of the main body 100 so as to protrude. For example, when the second detachment lever 90 is rotated, the supply container 10 and the inner insertion portion 30, or a binding device (not shown) for binding the supply container 10 and the main body 100 The supply container 10 can be disengaged.
The inner insertion portion 30 receives at least a part of the outer cylinder 36 therein and the outer cylinder 36 receives at least a part of the cylinder 32 therein. Although the outer cylinder 36 and the cylinder 32 are shown as being vertically arranged in the inner injection part 30 in the drawing, the arrangement of the outer cylinder 36 and the cylinder 32 is not limited thereto. It can be deformed. The outer cylinder 36 and the cylinder 32 are respectively passed through the upper portion and communicate with the food material outlet 10a. That is, the food material M discharged into the food material outlet 10a sequentially passes through the through-hole of the outer cylinder 36 and the through-hole of the cylinder 32 and is inserted into the cylinder 32, Crushing is done.
The outer cylinder 36 is fixed to the inner insertion portion 30 and communicates with each other so that the food M can be easily moved and the cylinder 32 is detachably inserted into the outer cylinder 36, Can be supplied. The cylinder 32 is detachably coupled to the outer cylinder 36 so that replacement and cleaning of the cylinder 32 can be facilitated. The outer cylinder 36 and the cylinder 32 can be coupled to each other by a fastening protrusion 37. The fastening protrusion 37 is connected to the first detachable lever protruding from the side surface of the main body 100 And the like. 7 (a), the fastening protrusion 37 is rotated by the operation of the first attaching / detaching lever 80 so that the groove formed in the outer cylinder 36 and the groove formed in the cylinder 32 The outer cylinder 36 and the cylinder 32 can be fastened to each other. Conversely, when the fastening protrusion 37 is rotated to engage only the groove formed in the outer cylinder 36, the cylinder 32 can be separated from the outer cylinder 36, as shown in Fig. 7 (b) . In the figure, the fastening protrusions 37 are formed to have an asymmetrical structure with a longitudinal cross section larger than a half circle, and the grooves formed in the outer cylinder 36 are formed to be wider than the grooves formed in the inner cylinder 32 The shape of the fastening protrusion 37 and the shape and width of the groove formed in the outer cylinder 36 and the inner cylinder 32 may be variously modified.
The net 31 is a plate-like member having a plurality of perforations formed therein, and can be detachably attached to the side of the inner insertion portion 30, particularly, the end of the cylinder 32. That is, the screw 40, which will be described later, and the food material M finely pulverized by the blade 34 pass through the net 31 and are discharged to the outside.
A nut 35 is detachably coupled to the end of the cylinder 32 protruding outside the main body 100. For example, the cylinder 32 and the nut 35 can be screwed together and the screw 40 and the blade 34 can be separated from each other when the nut 35 is separated from the cylinder 32.
The screw 40 rotates inside the inner insertion portion 30 to push the food material M into the net 31 and crush it. The screw 40 is formed into a rod or a conical member having a screw blade 41 formed in a thread- . At this time, the distance between the wings can be narrower as the screw blades (41) are brought closer to the net (31). The distance between the screw blades 41 is narrower as the distance between the screw blades 41 becomes closer to the net 31 so that the food material M injected into the cylinder 32 can be gradually pushed and moved toward the net 31 in a state of high density. That is, the food materials M are continuously supplied through the supply container 10, and the thus-supplied food materials M sequentially pass through the food material outlet port 10a, the inner input port 30, and the cylinder 32, (31). Since the supply container 10 safely and continuously supplies the food material M, the food material M discharged through the net 31 is not broken or sagged, and the merchantability is greatly improved.
The screw 40 may be detachably coupled to the pin member 33 which is horizontally disposed at one end and is rotatably coupled to the net 31, and the other end may be detachably coupled to the connection portion 69. The screw 40 is detachably coupled to the pin member 33 and the connecting portion 69 so that the pin member 33 or the screw blade 40 can be easily replaced when the pin member 33 or the screw blade 40 is worn or broken, ) Or the screw 40 can be easily cleaned, so that it is possible to work more hygienically. At this time, the screw 40 and the connecting portion 69 may be integrally formed as necessary, and may be detached from the cylinder 32 at the same time.
The connecting portion 69 is a plate-shaped member for rotating the screw 40. The connecting portion 69 is connected to the same shaft as the third gear 63 and the fourth gear 64 to rotate the second gear 62 and the third gear 63 ) Can be rotated. In other words, when the second gear 62 rotates and is engaged with the third gear 63 by the rotational force of the drive motor 70, the third gear 63 and the fourth gear 64, The screw 69 rotates and the screw 40 rotates. The food material M that has been introduced into the inner insertion portion 30 through the food material outlet 10a can be moved toward the net 31 side by rotating along the screw 40 and the blade 34 ) And can be discharged through the net 31. [0050] At this time, one end of the screw 40 connected to the pin member 33 may be formed larger in diameter than the other end connected to the connecting portion 69. Since the one end of the screw 40 is formed to be larger in diameter than the other end so that the food material M introduced into the inner insertion portion 30 is firstly roughly crushed by the screw blade 41, So that the blade 34 can be finely compacted and discharged through the net 31, so that it can be softened more smoothly. That is, the food M is finely ground by the interaction of the screw 40 and the blade 34. As described above, since the interval between the screw blades 41 is narrower toward the net 31, the food material M is compacted by the blade 34 in a state of high density, so that the size, weight, and density Lt; / RTI >
The screw 40 or the moving plate 20 can stop operating when the lid 11 described above is detached from the food material feed port 10b. In other words, when the lid 11 is coupled to the food material supply port 10b of the supply container 10, the screw 40 or the moving plate 20 is operated and the lid 11 is moved from the food material supply port 10b When separated, the screw 40 or the moving plate 20 can stop operating. The screw 40 or the moving plate 20 is operated when the lid 11 is coupled to the food material feeding port 10b so that the food material M is supplied to the supply container 10 by rotation of the screw 40 and the moving plate 20. [ It is possible to prevent the food material grinding apparatus 1 from deviating to the outside, thereby keeping the space in which the food material grinding apparatus 1 is installed in a clean state. In addition, it is possible to prevent the worker from being exposed to the risk of accident due to the separation of the food M.
On the other hand, a protrusion 50 may be provided at a boundary between the food material outlet 10a and the bottom surface of the supply container 10. [ The projections 50 are for separating the food material M adhering to the lower surface of the moving plate 20 and can be determined in accordance with the material of the moving plate 20. [ For example, when the moving plate 20 is made of a material that is relatively inelastic, such as aluminum, the protrusions 50 may be formed of an elastic body. On the contrary, when the moving plate 20 is made of elastic material such as silicone, urethane, The protrusion 50 may be formed of an inelastic body. Any one of the moving plate 20 and the protrusion 50 is formed of an elastic body and the other is formed of an inelastic body so that when the moving plate 20 and the protrusion 50 are in contact with each other, (M) can be easily removed.
The protrusion 50 may protrude from the boundary between the food material outlet 10a and the bottom surface of the supply container 10 so as to be in contact with the moving plate 20. [ Specifically, the protrusions 50 are provided along the boundary extending along the radial direction of the supply container 10 among the boundary between the food material discharge port 10a and the bottom surface, and are disposed at the rear of the boundary portion in the radial direction Can be installed along the boundary. The protrusions 50 are provided along the diametrical boundary at the rear of the moving plate 20 so that the moving plate 20 is brought into close contact with the lower surface of the moving plate 20 when the moving plate 20 and the protrusion 50 are in contact with each other, (M) can be scraped off by the protrusion (50) and released from the moving plate (20). The removed food material M can be discharged to the food material outlet 10a and then introduced into the inner input portion 30. [ The protrusions 50 may be disposed parallel to the moving direction of the moving plate 20 or may be disposed obliquely with respect to the moving direction of the moving plate 20. When the protrusions 50 are arranged obliquely on the moving plate 20, the contact path of the moving plate 20 and the protrusions 50 is increased, so that the ingredients M can be removed more effectively.
Hereinafter, with reference to Figs. 8 to 12, the operation of the food material pulverizing apparatus 1 will be described in more detail.
10 is an explanatory view illustrating a process in which a food material is moved in a supply container, and FIG. 11 is a view illustrating an operation in which a food material is adhered to a moving plate Fig. 12 is a view for explaining a case where the moving plate rotates normally, and an operation for comparing the operation of the upper gear and the lower gear when the rotation of the moving plate is interrupted due to the food being interrupted. to be.
The food material pulverizing apparatus (1) according to the present invention allows a worker to put a large amount of the food material (M) into the pulverizing apparatus at once, thereby greatly reducing the labor force. Therefore, a single operator can operate several grinding apparatuses at the same time, thereby greatly improving work productivity. It is also a method of automatically feeding the food material M into the inner insertion portion 30 where the screw 40 rotates while containing a large amount of the food material M in advance so that the operator is completely separated from the dangerous screw 40 There is an effect to prevent an accident. Particularly, most components such as the supply container 10, the moving plate 20, the rotating shaft 210 and the screw 40 can be disassembled to facilitate cleaning and maintenance after the operation. (40) and the moving plate (20) are driven at the same time. Therefore, there is a feature that the size is small and the space utilization is easy and the power loss is small.
The supply container 10 has a food material discharge port 10a formed on the bottom surface, and a surface in contact with the bottom surface forms an inclined surface. The rotating shaft 21 is vertically disposed at the center of the bottom surface of the supply container 10, and the moving plate 20 is coupled to the rotating shaft 21.
First, referring to Fig. 8, a plurality of food materials M are received inside the supply container 10 through the opened food material feed port 10b. At this time, a part of the plurality of food materials M can be discharged directly to the food material outlet 10a, and the remaining part can be seated on the bottom surface of the supply container 10.
When the food material feed port 10b is closed by the lid 11, the moving plate 20 is rotated by the rotating shaft 21 and is transported to the food container 10, (M). At this time, a part of the food material M to be pushed by the moving plate 20 may be discharged through the food material outlet 10a and part of the food material M may be rotated through the supply container 10 again. That is, the food M is continuously rotated in the supply container 10 by the moving plate 20, and is sequentially discharged through the food material outlet 10a. The moving plate 20 is rotated by the same power source as the screw 40 and is rotated together with the rotation speed of the screw 40. [ That is, when the screw 40 rotates rapidly, the rotating speed of the moving plate 20 is increased and the feeding speed of the material M is increased. When the screw 40 is rotated slowly, the rotating speed of the moving plate 20 is also slowed, (M) is also lowered.
On the other hand, a plurality of food materials M can be stacked and accommodated inside the supply container 10 as shown in Fig. 10 (a). A plurality of food materials M are stacked and housed inside the supply container 10, so that the ingredients M can be continuously crushed. When the food material supply port 10b is closed by the lid 11, the rotary shaft 21 and the moving plate 20 rotate. Since the bottom surface and the side surface of the moving plate 20 are in contact with the bottom surface and the inclined surface of the supply container 10 and rotate, even if a plurality of food materials M are laminated, they can be pushed collectively and discharged to the food material outlet 10a . That is, when a part of a plurality of food materials M housed in the supply container 10, particularly the food material M1 located on the lower side, is discharged to the food material discharge port 10a by the rotation of the moving plate 20, The food material M2 which has been used can be guided to the bottom surface along the inclined surface as shown in Fig. 10 (b). The food material M2 guided to the bottom surface can be pushed by the rotating moving plate 20 and discharged to the food material outlet 10a. At this time, a part of the food material M2 that has been rolled along the inclined surface and guided to the bottom surface may be discharged directly to the food material discharge port 10a.
Although the rotating shaft 21 and the moving plate 20 are shown rotating in the counterclockwise direction on the drawing, the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 21 and the moving plate 20 may be modified.
11 (a), when the moving plate 20 rotates repeatedly and pushes the food material M placed on the bottom surface of the supply container 10, The food material M, for example, the food material M in a carving state, can be adhered to the bottom surface. Since the food material M placed on the bottom surface of the supply container 10 can not be effectively pushed out when the food material M adhered to the lower surface of the moving plate 20 is not removed, It is necessary to desorb the food material (M) adhering thereto. The protrusions 50 are provided so as to protrude from the boundary between the food material outlet port 10a and the bottom surface of the supply container 10 so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the moving plate 20. [
As the moving plate 20 moves, the moving plate 20 and the protrusions 50 come into contact with each other as shown in FIG. 11 (b). At this time, the protrusions 50 are formed as elastic bodies, Can be partially deflected in the moving direction of the moving plate (20) by the food material (M) adhering to the lower surface of the plate (20) or the moving plate (20). As the moving plate 20 moves in the advancing direction, the protrusions 50 are further refracted and the food material M adhering to the lower surface of the moving plate 20 is removed by the protrusions 50.
11 (C), the protrusion 50 is restored to the original state and the food 50 (Fig. 11 (C)), which is in close contact with the lower surface of the moving plate 20 M can be removed from the moving plate 20 and discharged to the food material outlet 10a.
Further, if the moving plate 20 rotates repeatedly and pushes out the food material M, the food material M may be caught between the supply container 10 and the moving plate 20.
When the food material M is not caught, the moving plate 20 can rotate normally as shown in Fig. 12 (a).
The transmission shaft 68 is rotated by receiving the rotational force of the drive motor 70 and the lower gear 22 concavo-convexly coupled to the transmission shaft 68 rotates integrally with the transmission shaft 68. The lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are engaged with each other while maintaining a state in which the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 are engaged with each other when the moving plate 20 and the rotary shaft 21 do not receive any external force . As the upper gear 23 rotates, the housing 24, the rotary shaft 21, and the moving plate 20, which are coupled to the upper gear 23 in a concavo-convex manner, rotate. At this time, as the tightening nut 27 screwed to the other end of the central shaft 25 is tightened, the elastic force of the spring 26 increases and the fastening force between the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 increases, The force by which the moving plate 20 pushes the food material M may increase.
When the food material M is caught, the moving plate 20 can be stopped from rotating, as shown in Fig. 12 (b).
As the rotation of the moving plate 20 is stopped, the rotating shaft 21 to which the moving plate 20 is coupled, the housing 24 coupled to the rotating shaft 21, and the upper gear 23 coupled to the housing 24 Rotation is stopped. The upper gear 23, the housing 24, the rotary shaft 21, and the moving plate 20 are rotated by the rotation of the transmission shaft 68 and the lower gear 22, The upper gear 22 is moved upward by the inclined surface of the lower gear 22 and is repeatedly moved to the lower side by the elasticity again at the end of the inclined surface. It is possible to prevent damage to the gear box 60 and the drive motor 70 due to the load being applied in the reverse direction as the moving plate 20 stops rotating.
By reducing the elastic force of the spring 26 by loosening the tightening nut 27 screwed to the central shaft 25 when the food material M to be relatively well caught between the supply container 10 and the moving plate 20 is cooled, The fastening force between the lower gear 22 and the upper gear 23 can be reduced so that the moving plate 20 can easily pass over the food material M caught by the moving plate 20. [
Hereinafter, referring to Figs. 13 and 14, the food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating a food material pulverizing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is an enlarged perspective view of the supply container portion of FIG.
The food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes an inner insertion portion 30 that communicates with the food material outlet 10a and forms an inclined surface on the inner surface of the moving plate 20, 28 are combined. The food material pulverizing apparatus 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes an inner insertion portion 30 that communicates with the food material outlet 10a and forms an inclined surface on the inner surface of the moving plate 20, 28 are coupled to each other, substantially the same as the above-described embodiment. Therefore, the description will be focused on, but unless otherwise noted, the description of the remaining components is replaced by the foregoing.
The inner insertion portion 30 may form an inclined surface on the inner side in communication with the food material outlet 10a of the supply container 10. [ Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the inner side surface of the inner insertion portion 30 can be gradually widened as the lateral area, that is, the cross-sectional area decreases downward. It is possible to minimize the phenomenon in which the food material M is caught or adhered to the inner wall surface and the food material M adhered to the inner side surface of the inner mouth portion 30 is screwed 40 may be lowered downward. In particular, a larger amount of the food material M can be moved toward the screw 40, and the sagging phenomenon of the material M can be effectively reduced.
Further, an elastic plate 28 may be coupled to one side of the moving plate 20. [ The elastic plate 28 is formed of a special rubber material such as a strong urethane or silicone having elasticity and may be formed at a lower portion of the moving plate 20 so as to be in close contact with the bottom surface of the supply container 10.
The elastic plate 28 is refracted as the moving plate 20 moves and sweeps the bottom surface of the supply container 10 so that the food material M can be easily discharged to the food material outlet 10a. 14, the elastic plate 28 is coupled to the lower side of the side plate of the moving plate 20 located at the rear side in the moving direction, so that the elastic plate 28 is moved in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the moving plate 20 So that the bottom surface of the supply container 10 can be swept away. The elastic plate 28 can be brought into close contact with the bottom surface of the supply container 10 or the food material M attached or caught on the food material outlet 10a can be pushed or thrown to easily enter the food material outlet 10a. However, the elastic plate 28 is not limited to being formed of a special rubber material such as strong urethane or silicone and refracted. For example, the elastic plate 28 may be spring- It is possible. Although the elastic plate 28 is illustrated as being coupled to the outer surface of the moving plate 20 in the drawing, the present invention is not limited thereto. The structure of coupling the elastic plate 28 and the moving plate 20 may be variously modified . Further, the elastic plate 28 and the moving plate 20 may be integrally formed as necessary.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
