Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a straining device that grinds and purees cooking materials.

[Prior Art] In the conventional strainer for cooking materials, a net is attached to the opening at the lower end of a cylindrical container body, and the screen is gradually moved from an upper position to a lower position where it comes into contact with the upper surface of the mesh in the container body. It consists of a rotating body rotatably supported, which has pressing blades that are inclined downwardly and whose lower ends abut against the upper surface of the net. The cooking ingredients, such as potatoes, corn, etc., housed in the container body are ground by the cooperation of the rotating pressing blades and the mesh body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, with the above-mentioned conventional pureeing device, when the cooking ingredients are thrown into the container body in a lopsided state when the cooking ingredients are being ground, some of the pressing blades may However, since a large amount of cooking material acts on the pressing blade, there is a problem in that the pressing blade moves upward and cannot press the cooking material with the required force, and the rotational resistance of the pressing blade becomes large. As a result, the efficiency of grinding the cooking ingredients has deteriorated.

[Purpose of the invention] In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the purpose of the invention is to reduce the rotational resistance of the pressing blade by making the cooking ingredients applied to the pressing blade almost uniformly act on the cooking ingredients. To provide a device for pureeing cooking materials, which can smoothly grind cooking materials.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, a rotating body having downwardly inclined pressing blades is rotatably supported in a container body to which a net is attached so as to cover the lower end opening, In a cooking material pureeing device that grinds cooking materials put into a container body, the rotary body has a rotor on the opposite side of the pressing blade, the length of which is shorter than the pressing blade in the radial direction, and descending in the same direction as the pressing blade. This constitutes a cooking material pureeing device provided with inclined guide blades.

[Operation of the invention] Since the invention is formed as described above, the cooking material introduced by the guide blades can be guided almost entirely in the radial direction of the pressing blades and ground. This reduces the pressing resistance and rotational resistance of the pressing blades, making it possible to smoothly grind the cooking material.

The bottle portion 11 accommodates the cooking material ground by the cooperation of the pressing blades 27 and the mesh body 5.

Next, the method of assembling the strainer 1 will be explained according to FIG. 1. In FIG. After attaching the container body 3 so that the portion 5b is located on the outer peripheral surface of the container body 3, the fixing ring 13 is inserted and fitted around the lower end outer periphery of the container body 3 to which the net member 5 is attached. At this time, the engagement of the projections 13a with the latching recesses 3c causes the upright portions 5b of the net 5 to deform in accordance with the latching recesses 3c, and the net 5 is fixed to the container body 3. At this time, the rib central portion of the rib body 7 is positioned below the support shaft 15, and the rib portion 7b is positioned on the lower surface of the net body 5.

When the support body 16 is attached to the upper end opening of the container body 3 to which the net body 5 and the rib body 7 are attached as described above, so that the engagement groove 16a and the latching piece 3a are engaged, the second The rotating shaft 21 moves upward slightly against the elastic force of the compression spring 25, and the third pressing portion 27c of the pressing blade 27 is pressed against the upper surface of the net body 5. At this time, a slight gap is formed between the second pressing part 27b of the pressing blade 27 and the upper surface of the net body 5.

The bottle part 11 is attached to the lower end of the container body 3 to which the rotating body 9 is attached as described above, and the handle 29 is attached to the upper end of the first rotating shaft 17.

Next, the straining action of the strainer 1 assembled as described above will be explained with reference to FIG. 4.

In FIG. 4, where arrows indicate the state in which cooking materials are introduced by the guide vanes 28, cooking materials such as boiled hemproot and potatoes are introduced into the container body 3 from the upper opening of the container body 3 to which the rotating body 9 is attached. After the pressure blade 27 is put into the
and when the guide vane 28 is rotated in the required direction,
At the initial stage of grinding, the cooking material is moved by the guide blades 28 partly to the upper side of the guide blades 28, partly to the lower side of the guide blades 28, and further partly to the radial direction of the guide blades 28. It is guided to the side so as to be evenly distributed with respect to the first pressing portion 27a. In addition to the above-mentioned dispersion effect, the guide member 28 guides a portion of the cooking material passing through the lower end toward the first pressing portion 27a while grinding it. For this reason, the cooking material is mixed between the pressing blade 27 and the mesh body 5.
This prevents the pressing blade 27 from idling. Then, the cooking ingredients evenly dispersed on the pressing blades 27 are crushed to a certain size by the cooperation of the first pressing part 27a and the second pressing part 27b and the upper surface of the net body 5, and then crushed to a certain size. It is introduced between the pressing part 27c and the net body 5 and is ground.

As a result, the cooking material is ground almost uniformly against the third pressing portion 27c. Then, the cooking material ground by the above-mentioned action is accommodated in the bottle part 11 through the mesh of the mesh body 5.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the cooking material is almost uniformly introduced into the third pressing part 27c by the guide blade 28, a large amount of cooking material acts on a part of the third pressing part 27c to perform the grinding. Compared to the case, the cooking material can be reliably pressed by the pressing member 27 and ground with less rotational resistance. Thereby, the cooking ingredients can be pureed efficiently.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention makes it possible to reduce the rotational resistance of the pressing resistance of the pressing blade by making the cooking ingredients applied to the pressing blade act almost uniformly, thereby smoothly grinding the cooking ingredients. It is possible to provide a device for pureeing cooking materials that is capable of pureeing cooking materials.
