Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a discharge port from being loaded without damaging vegetables after machined, and form a compact main-body without requiring a vegetable bearing bowl separately, by setting the discharge port projected downward from the bottom surface of a vessel, and by setting a cover for covering the upper section of the cover of the vessel. CONSTITUTION:A device has a discharge port 30 for discharging vegetables or the like after machined so that the port may be positioned almost within the projecting range of the rotational locus of a cutter 27. The discharge port 30 is of the resin of the opening section 28a of a cover 28 set to be vertically reversed, and when a main body 20 and a vessel 24 are mounted, then the discharge port 30 is formed to be covered with the cover 28. When the cover 28 is rotated and vegetables or the like are cast from a casting shell 25, then machined vegetables or the like are dropped downward through the hole 27a of the cutter 27, and are guided into the cover 28 through the discharge port 50. In this manner, the vegetables or the like after machined are not to be damaged by dropping naturally from a rotary body or the like. Besides, the cover 28 can be separated from or attached to the main body, and can be turned into a vessel for receiving the vegetables after machined, and so a bowl or the like is not required to be separately prepared for.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to an electric cooking machine for cutting vegetables and the like.

Conventional technology In recent years, rice cookers and cutters for cutting vegetables have become essential items in the kitchen, but there is a growing demand for something more convenient in terms of ease of use and cleanup before and after use.

Conventionally, this type of electric cooking machine has generally had a configuration such as a sixth and seventh recess. This will be explained below using FIGS. 6 and 7.

As shown in the figure, a container 4 containing a removable disc-shaped cutter 3 rotated by the drive motor 1 is placed on a main body 2 containing a drive motor 1 . The upper opening of this container 4 is covered by a container lid 5, and this container lid 5 has a part that protrudes upward, and has an input cylinder 6 for feeding materials such as vegetables from the upper surface, and a container 4 and a container lid 6. A discharge lower is provided which protrudes from the side wall 4a and guides and discharges vegetables etc. after cutting to outside the downward projection range of the rotation locus of the cutter 3. A lip-shaped discharge lip 8 is provided below the cutter 3. Further, the cutter 3 is provided with several cutters having several thicknesses to choose from, for example, in the case of a slice cutter, and is separately provided with a storage box 9 in which these cutters can be stored. 1o in the figure is a push rod inserted into the charging tube 6. Note that 1o is a push rod for pushing vegetables etc. put into the input port 6.

In the above configuration, when vegetables such as cucumbers and lemons are supplied from the input cylinder 6 and the power switch (not shown) is turned on to operate, the cutter 3 rotates.For example, if it is a slice cutter, the sliced vegetables are After falling onto the bottom surface 4b of the container below 3, it is forcibly scraped out by the discharge lip 8 of the cutter 3, and is scattered and discharged to the discharge lower. If a container such as a bowl is used to receive the cut vegetables below the discharge lower, the cut vegetables will accumulate there.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional configuration, the cut vegetables are strongly repelled by the soil discharge lip 8 of the cutter 3 rotating at high speed and hit the wall surface 7a of the discharge lower. If so, the pulp may separate from the outer skin, or if it is a cucumber, it may crumble, or it may stick to the wall surface 7a of the discharge lower, stacking up and clogging the discharge lower, making it impossible to discharge. In addition, since the ejection lower protrudes to the side, it gets in the way and makes it difficult to store it in a cupboard.

In addition, the height nuvene of the main body 2 includes a denot nouvène, which impedes storage performance. The pick body 2 incorporates a drive motor 1, a deceleration mechanism, electric wiring, etc. (not shown), but the height of these basins is simply shown in the dimensions shown in Figure 6. good. However, it is necessary for the lower end 7b of the discharge lower to be higher than the height of a container such as a bowl that is normally sold on the market, so the size of the lower end 7b of the discharge lower is set by that amount, that is, by the BTI'' method. In addition, the upper surface 5a of the container lid 6 and the push rod 10
In some cases, containers such as paperboards were easily damaged, and some people even covered them with plastic to store them.

Furthermore, in order to store several cutters 3, a separate storage box 9 is required, which also impedes storage efficiency, increases the number of parts, causes problems, and is troublesome when cleaning. Ta.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a first object thereof is to provide an electric cooking machine that prevents the outlet catch 9 and improves storage performance without damaging the vegetables after cutting.

The second purpose is to provide a compact main body that does not require consideration of the lever 9 and does not require a bowl for the vegetable tray.

A third purpose is to eliminate the need for a storage box for the cutter, reduce the number of parts, and make it easier to use.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to achieve the above first object, the problem-solving means of the present invention is to provide a container in which a cutter is housed, so that the container is positioned substantially within the downward projection range of the rotation locus of the cutter. It is configured with a discharge port that protrudes downward from the bottom surface.

In addition, in order to achieve the second objective, a removable cover is provided above the container lid that covers at least the upper part of the container lid, and this cover is detached from the container lid and installed upside down, and is placed above the opening of the The main body can be placed on the container, and in this case, the discharge port can also be covered.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the third object, a holder for engaging and holding the cutter is provided inside the cover or on the top surface of the container lid.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, the cut vegetables fall downward due to their own weight and are discharged downward through the discharge port, so that they are not damaged and do not get clogged in the discharge port, and the shredded vegetables are not clogged with the discharge port. The outlet does not protrude to the side of the main unit, so it does not get in the way when stored.

In addition, when stored, the cover covers the top of the container lid to prevent dust from adhering to it, and when in use, the cover can be removed and placed facing upwards, and the main body placed on top of it, which also covers the discharge port. Therefore, since the cover can also be used as a container for receiving the vegetables after cutting, the device can be made more compact, and containers such as bowls can be made unnecessary.

Furthermore, by holding the cutter in the holder that holds the cutter in place, the cutter is covered with a cover when stored, which prevents the stick from sticking and makes effective use of empty nubène. This eliminates the need for a separate cutter storage box.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 2o includes a drive motor 21 and a transmission device 23 (
In this embodiment, a bevel gear is used, but it may be directly connected to the drive motor 21, or other types of gears may be meshed.
Alternatively, a belt system may be used). Also, a container 24 that can be detachably placed on the main body 2o, a container lid 26 that covers the upper opening of the container 24 and includes a charging cylinder 25 for throwing vegetables, etc., and a container lid 26 built in the container 24 and equipped with the main shaft 22. and several removable disk-shaped cutters 27 (Figure 1 shows two different types of slice cutters with different thicknesses, but the types and number may be slightly different). and a push rod 31 for pushing vegetables or the like into the input cylinder 25.

The characteristic structure of this embodiment is that it has an opening 28a that can be detachably fitted to both the upper outer peripheral part 26a of the container lid 26 and the lower outer peripheral part 20a of the main body 2o, and the A container-shaped cover 28 that covers the rod 31 is provided. And the upper surface part 26 of the container lid 26
In b, a holder 2 is installed upright so that the cutter 27 can be inserted therein.
9 is provided. In this embodiment, it is formed integrally with the container lid 26, but it may have a detachable structure.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a claw-shaped holder 33 may be used, which protrudes inward from the bottom surface of the cover 31 and is removably engaged with the cutter 32.

The holder 29 is formed at a height that allows it to cover the cover 28 even when the cutter 27 is inserted and held.

The container 24 has a discharge port 3o which protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the container 24 and is located approximately within the projection range of the rotation locus of the cutter 27, and which discharges vegetables etc. after cutting. The outlet 30 is the opening 28a of the cover 28.
When the main body 20 and the container 24 are placed upside down, the cover 28 closes the outlet 3o.
is formed so that it is covered. 28a in the figure is an opening of the cover 28.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained.

First, we will explain about storage. The container 24 and the container lid 26 are fitted and placed above the main body 2o, and the charging cylinder 2
The push rod 31 is inserted into the holder 29, and the cutter 2 is inserted into the holder 29.
Insert and hold 7. Then, the cover 28 is inserted into the opening 28.
Cover the container lid 26 with the & mark facing downward. By doing this, first, the upper surface portion 26 of the container lid 26
B and the push rod 31 as well as the cutter 27 are free from dust and can be stored hygienically.

The height of the input tube 25 is normally set to about 100 sr* so that the user can easily reach the cutter 27 without touching it. Therefore, the area above the upper surface 26b of the container lid 26 other than the charging tube 25 can be used as a storage area for the cutter 27, and there is no need to separately provide a cutter storage area.

Next, the use will be explained. When in use, remove the cover 28 from the container lid 26 from the above state, and open the opening 2.
Install it on the floor with 8a facing upward. Then, the lower outer peripheral portion 20a of the main body 2o is fitted and placed in this opening 28a.

Then turn on the power switch (not shown) and cutter 27.
When the cutter 27 is rotated and vegetables or the like are inputted from the input cylinder 25, the cut vegetables or the like fall downward by their own weight through the hole 27a of the cutter 27, pass through the discharge port 30, and are guided into the cover 28.

In this way, the vegetables and the like after cutting are not forcibly thrown away by a rotating body, etc., and fall naturally, so that they are not spoiled or damaged. Further, since the outlet 3o is formed almost directly below, there is no possibility that vegetables or the like will stick to the inner wall surface of the outlet 30 and block the outlet 3o. Moreover, since the discharge port 30 does not protrude laterally, it becomes compact.

Furthermore, since the cover 28 can be used as a container for receiving vegetables after cutting, there is no need to prepare a separate container such as a bowl.

In addition, in the past, the main body was made higher than necessary to secure the position of the outlet 3o in order to receive vegetables cooked in a bowl or the like, but since this is not necessary, the height of the main body 20 is also increased by the drive motor. 21 etc. can be built in, and in addition to being more compact in the lateral direction, it is also possible to make the device more compact in the vertical direction.

Incidentally, when the cut vegetables and the like are cut by the cutter 27, due to the inertial movement of rotation, they sometimes land on the inner bottom surface 24a of the container 24 instead of falling toward the outlet 3°. In such a case, the problem can be solved by providing a lip 35 on the lower surface of the cutter 34 close to the bottom surface 24& of the container 24, as shown in FIG. In other words, this reply 35
As a result, vegetables and the like are scraped out to the outlet 30. There is a concern that the vegetables etc. may be damaged at this point, but the vegetables etc. are rotated by the lip 35 and when they reach the position of the discharge port 30, they are discharged in a state similar to that of falling under their own weight like a trap hole above the discharge port 3o. There is no such problem.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description of the embodiments, according to the electric cooking machine of the present invention, the outlet is arranged to be located almost within the downward projection range of the rotational trajectory of the cutter, so that vegetables after cutting are etc., will naturally fall downward without being damaged, and the outlet will not be clogged.

Moreover, since the outlet is not on the side, the main unit can be stored more easily.

In addition, since the cover covers the top surface of the container lid and push rod when stored, it is hygienic and prevents build-up, and when in use, the cover can be used as a container to receive vegetables after cutting.
It is compact and can eliminate the need for bowls and other containers.

Furthermore, since several cutters can be stored within the cover by effectively utilizing the empty space, there is no need to provide a separate cutter storage case.
