Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker that allows bread to be made at home by rotary kneading wheat flour and the like.

Conventional technology Generally, when making bread, we use equipment such as a kneading machine, a fermentation machine, a rolling pin, and an oven. Making freshly baked bread required considerable skill. In order to solve these problems, a home-made bread machine has been proposed that has a kneading function, a fermentation function, and an opening function housed in a single product as shown in FIG. 2.

In the device shown in FIG. 2, a frame 2 is provided inside a main body 1, a motor 3 is fixed to the frame 2, and a heating tank 6 equipped with a heater 4 and a heat insulating material 5 is fixed. A kneading container 8 having kneading blades 7 is removably installed in the tank 6, and a handle 9 is rotatably attached to the upper end of the kneading container 8. 7 is driven to decelerate. Further, the upper part of the heating tank 6 is covered with a lid 12, and a temperature sensor 13 is fixed to the outer surface of the heating tank 6. 14 is a timer, temperature control, and power control circuit. With this configuration, when ingredients are put into the kneading container 8 and the timer is set, operation starts at a predetermined time, each step is automatically performed by the timer and temperature adjustment, and the bread is baked after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the kneading container 8 is generally formed by drawing, and the bottom of the kneading container 8 is limited to forming a cylindrical portion for fixing the bearing. It was hot. In this case, since a thin plate was processed, the bearing fixing strength was weak, and there were problems in that it was impossible to form a part to fix the lower part of the kneading container. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
A configuration in which they are connected by 7 etc. is being considered. In the case of such a configuration, the inner bottom surface of the kneading container 15 is uneven, making it easy for bread crumbs to accumulate, the centers of the kneading container 15 and the shaft 18 to be easily misaligned, and furthermore, the joining parts such as the rivets 17 may be heated or In addition to the problem of loosening during the heat cycle of cooling, there was also the problem of high processing costs, leading to increased costs.

The present invention solves these problems and aims to provide an automatic bread maker equipped with a kneading container that is robust, easy to use, and cost effective.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a kneading container that is detachably disposed in a firing chamber and has a kneading blade rotatably attached to the bottom of the kneading container. The fitting part and bearing fixing part are integrally formed from aluminum die-casting.

Effect According to the above configuration, the inner surface of the kneading container becomes a surface with no unevenness, and the bearing fixing part of the kneading container can also be made stronger by increasing the wall thickness, and the attachment/detachment part to the baking chamber can also be made stronger. Since it is integrally molded as the same part, it is possible to provide an automatic bread maker equipped with a kneading container that has no center deviation, has high precision, and does not require processing costs.

A kneading container 55 which is pivotably supported is detachably attached to the kneading container 55,
The katsuko kneading container 55 is attached to the container fixing guide 43.
and a container fixing spring 49. The kneading container 55 is configured so as to come into pressure contact with the temperature detection section 50 when installed in the baking container 44, and has a handle 56 attached to its upper end. The kneading container 55 has a bearing fixing part 55a that fixes the bearing 51 and a fitting part 55b that is removably fitted to the container fixing guide 43, which are integrally molded by aluminum die casting, and the inner surface of the kneading container 55 is coated with fluorocarbon paint to improve non-adhesion with the pan, and the outer surface is coated with paint containing metal powder to prevent corrosion of the aluminum die-casting and improve heat conduction to the temperature sensing part 50. ing. Also,
The upper part of the firing container 44 is fixed to a fixing member 57, and the main body upper frame 58 is further fixed to the fixing member 57. The main body 30 is fixed to the main body upper frame 58 and also to the chassis 31.
