Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an ice oyster machine used mainly in households.

Conventional structure and its problems Conventionally, in this type of ice oyster machine, the container and the support are generally fixed, and in some cases, the container 1 and the support 2 are removable as shown in Fig. 6. Something was coming out. However, those with a fixed container and support take up space when stored, and those with removable container 1 and support 2 have to be held with both hands when removed, making them difficult to carry. There were other problems such as the problem of the product falling apart when stored, which was inconvenient.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ice oyster machine that is easy to store and allows a container to be quickly and reliably set on a support.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the ice oyster machine of the present invention includes a container having a cutter and an ice holder, a support that supports the container at a constant height, and a support that is provided on the container and into which the support is inserted. a cylindrical sliding part, and a protrusion provided inside the sliding part that fits into the hole of the support, and an elastic body is attached to the inner surface of the sliding part facing the protrusion. This makes it easy to store, and the container can be quickly and reliably set on the support.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 5, an electric motor 12 is built inside the main body 11, and this electric motor 12 rotationally drives an ice presser 13 provided at the lower part of the electric motor 12. Reference numeral 14 denotes a container for storing ice provided within the main body 11, and a cutter 15 is attached to the bottom surface. Reference numeral 16 is a support that maintains the container 14 at a constant height, and a horizontal hole 17 is provided at an arbitrary height.
A cylindrical sliding part 18 that slides up and down the support 16 is provided on the side of the container 14, and the sliding part 18 has a protrusion 19 that fits into the horizontal hole 17 of the support 16 from the outside to the inside. It is set towards. In addition, the sliding part 18
An elastic body 20 is attached to the inner surface facing the protrusion 19, and a push plate 21 for pushing the support column 16 is attached to the elastic body 20. 22 is a stand that supports the support column 16.

Next, the operation and operation of the ice oyster machine will be explained. The sliding part 18 is slid to fit the protrusion 19 into the hole 17 of the support column 16, and the container 14 is set. Here, since the push plate 21 attached to the elastic body 20 presses the support column 16, the protrusion 19 can be set in the horizontal hole 17 quickly and reliably. Next, ice is put into the container 14, and the electric motor 12 drives the ice presser 13 to press the ice, causing the ice to rotate and the cutter 15 to rotate.
The ice is scraped and falls downward. Since the push plate 21 presses the support column 16, the protrusion 19 does not come out of the horizontal hole 17 due to vibration when scraping ice.

When storing the container next time, push the container 14 outward, remove the protrusion 19 from the horizontal hole 17, and lower it downward. Here, by lowering the container 14, the overall height is lowered, and the storage space can be reduced. Furthermore, since the support column 16 and the container 14 are integrated, it can be carried with one hand, and it is convenient to store the container without it falling apart.

Furthermore, by providing the horizontal holes 17 at several locations on the support column 16, the height can be easily changed, and various containers with different heights can be used when cutting ice.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a projection that fits into the horizontal hole of the support on the inside of the cylindrical sliding part that slides the support up and down, and an elastic body is attached to the opposite side of the projection. This improves storage performance and allows the container to be quickly and securely set on the support.
