The attachment 223 is, for example, a hollow cylindrical member formed of a resin material. The inner diameter of the attachment 223 is formed to be larger than the outer shape of the storage container 221. At the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the attachment 223, four protrusions 121c are provided to be locked to the groove 114b constituting the mounting portion 114.

The attachment 223 forms a supporting portion 223a for supporting the storage container 221 in the inside thereof. The support portion 223a is, for example, a hollow plate-shaped member that supports the bottom surface of the storage container 221. The support portion 223a is such that it does not come into contact with the power transmission member 116 on the side of the apparatus main body 110, and for example, supports the storage container 221 above the power transmission member 116. As described above, by providing a space between the power transmission member 116 and the bottom surface of the storage container 221, even if the power transmission member 116 is rotated, it is possible to prevent the power transmission member 116 from interfering with the storage container 221.

(Third embodiment) Using FIGS. 11 to 13, the accommodating section 320 having a different configuration from the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of an electric conditioner 300 of the third embodiment. FIG. 12(a) is a perspective view of the attachment 323 constituting the housing portion 320 of the electric conditioner 300. FIG. FIG. 12(b) is an exploded perspective view of the attachment 323 constituting the accommodating portion 320 of the electric conditioner 300. FIG. 13(a) is a plan view of the storage container 321 of the electric conditioner 300. FIG. FIG. 13(b) is a cross-sectional view of the storage container 321 of the electric conditioner 300. FIG.

The receiving portion 320 includes a receiving container 321 and an attachment 323 supporting the receiving container 321. The container 321 and the accessory 323 are separate components. The storage container 321 is different from the storage container of the first embodiment in that it does not include a conditioning unit, and is a storage container for discharging internal air and storing (vacuum storage) food ingredients. The attachment 323 is different from the attachment 223 of the second embodiment, and is configured so that the height of the support can be changed according to the height of the storage container 321 (storage container).

As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the storage container 321 is, as an example, includes an opening 321a at one end (refer to FIG. 13(b)), a container main body 321b that stores ingredients, and a lid that seals the opening 321a 322. The container body 321b is a bottomed cylindrical member including an opening 321a at the upper end. The storage container 321 is the same as the lid of the first embodiment, and is configured to be connectable to the second connecting portion. In addition, the storage container 321 is formed so as to have a larger diameter than the storage container 221 of the second embodiment. The cover 322 is attached to block the opening 321a via a seal.

The attachment 323 is composed of an outer tube 324 connected to the first connecting portion, and an inner tube 325 inserted into the outer tube 324 so that the height relative to the outer tube 324 can be changed. The outer cylinder 324 and the inner cylinder 325 are, for example, cylindrical members containing a resin material. The inner diameter of the outer tube 324 is configured to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the inner tube 325 or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube 325, and is configured to be able to insert the inner tube 325 into the outer tube 324. The upper end of the inner cylinder 325 is configured to have a larger diameter and can be locked to the upper end of the outer cylinder 324. On the bottom surface of the storage container 321, a recess 321c that can be locked to the upper end of the inner tube 325 is formed (see FIG. 13(b)).

In addition, on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 325, protrusions 325a protruding outward are provided so as to face each other. A pair of locking grooves 324a for locking the pair of protrusions 325a formed in the inner tube 325 is formed on the peripheral surface of the outer tube 324. The locking groove 324a includes an opening and is formed in a segment shape, whereby the pair of protrusions 325a can be locked at three positions. That is, the height of the inner tube 325 with respect to the outer tube 324 can be changed in three stages. Thereby, even the storage container 321 of different heights can be connected to the mounting part 114 and the suction part 140, and the storage container 321 can be supported stably.

As shown in FIG. 13, the lid body 322 further includes an outer shape changing member 326 whose outer shape changes in accordance with the pressure difference between the pressure on the inner side of the storage container 321 and the pressure on the outer side. The outer shape changing member 326 is, for example, an elastic material containing rubber or the like, and is fitted from the outside in the opening 322a provided near the outer edge of the cover 322 and attached. The outer shape changing member 326 includes a bulging portion 326a on the outside of the opening portion 322a. The inside of the bulging portion 326a includes a gap 326b communicating with the inside of the storage container 321. The size and thickness of the gap 326b and the bulging portion 326a are set in accordance with the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the storage container 321. Therefore, when the pressure on the inner side of the storage container 321 is lower than the pressure on the outer side by a predetermined value or more, the bulging portion 326a is configured to be recessed. Therefore, if the storage container 321 is sucked by the suction portion 140 (for example, in a vacuum state), since the bulging portion 326a is recessed, the user can easily determine whether the inside of the storage container 321 is in a vacuum state.

As shown in FIG. 13( b ), the cover 322 may be provided with a plurality of walls protruding from the cover 322 so as to surround the elastic valve 124. In this case, the wall portion 125a is formed to surround the elastic valve 124, the wall portion 125b is formed to surround the periphery of the wall portion 125a, and the wall portion 125c is formed on the outer edge of the lid body 322. Thereby, when the user carries the storage container 321, it is possible to effectively prevent a finger, hand, etc. from accidentally touching the release portion 124d, and the pressure on the inner side of the storage container 321 returns to the external pressure.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made. For example, it can be replaced with a configuration that is substantially the same as the configuration shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, a configuration that has the same effect, or a configuration that can achieve the same purpose.
