Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a pickle making machine, and in particular, it is used for making pickles by rotating a cylindrical container containing food to be made into pickles. It's about machines.

[Prior Art] Some pickle making machines have a structure in which pickles are made by rotating a cylindrical container containing food to be made into pickles on a base. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the base of a conventional pickle making machine having such a structure.

A driving roller 3 and a sub-roller 4 are provided on the main surface of the base 1. The container 2 is placed on the driving roller 3 and the sub-roller 4, and the container 2 is rotated by the rotational driving force of the driving roller 3. Rotate in the direction of arrow A. The drive roller 3 has a motor and a roller integrated, and has a waterproof structure. A through hole 5 is provided between the drive roller 3 and the sub roller 4 in the base 1 . The role of the through hole 5 will be explained later. FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the base 1 viewed from the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.

The container 2 has a structure as shown in FIG.
The container 2 has a cylindrical shape, and the rotational driving force from the drive roller 3 is transmitted to roller contact surfaces 6a and 6b provided on the outer peripheral wall of the container 2, causing the container 2 to rotate. The mouth 7 of the container 2 is closed by an inner lid 8 and a cap 9. Gas vent holes 10 are provided in the inner lid 8 and the cap 9.

Next, the operation of the pickle making machine will be explained. First, make a rice bran bed inside the container 2 shown in FIG.
and close the mouth 7 of the container 2 with the cap 9.

The container 2 thus constructed is mounted on a drive roller 3 and a sub roller 4 provided on the main surface of the base 1 as shown in FIG.
Place it on top.

The container 2 is then rotated by driving the drive roller 3 to rotate. This stirs the rice bran bed in the container 2, and air automatically enters the rice bran bed. By continuing to rotate the container 2 for a certain period of time, miso pickles are automatically prepared. Note that the gas generated within the container 2 is released to the outside through a gas vent hole 10 provided in the inner lid 8 and cap 9.

Traditionally, the pickle making machine stirs the rice bran bed by hand to introduce air into the rice bran bed.However, the pickle making machine rotates the container 2 to stir the rice bran bed, which automatically pumps air into the rice bran bed. It is put in.

By the way, the gas vent hole 10 shown in FIG. 7 is provided to release the gas accumulated in the container 2 to the outside, but the gas vent hole 10 shown in FIG. Because there is water seeping out, the gas vent hole 10 is opened with this water contained in the bran miso etc.
may be discharged outside the container 2. Water discharged from the gas vent hole 10 travels along the outer wall of the container 2 and accumulates on the main surface of the base 1. If no measures are taken, the main surface of the base 1 will be flooded with water.

Conventionally, in order to prevent this, a through hole 5 is provided in the base 1 shown in FIG. 5 to prevent water containing bran miso etc. from accumulating on the main surface of the base 1. Further, even if water containing bran or the like adheres to the drive roller 3, the drive roller 3 has a waterproof structure so that water does not enter the motor inside the drive roller 3.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, as shown in FIG. 6, the conventional pickle making machine directly pours water 32 containing bran miso etc. through the through hole 5 onto the table etc. on which the base 1 is placed. stand 3
1, it was unsanitary and emitted a foul odor.

Therefore, this invention was devised to solve the problems of the conventional methods, and its purpose is to prevent tables and other bases on which the base is placed from becoming dirty due to water containing rice bran, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pickle making machine that can prevent this.

[Means for Solving the Problems] This invention consists of a base, a rotating member provided on the main surface of the base, and a peripheral surface of the rotating member that is held and rotated by the rotational driving force of the rotating member. and a cylindrical container in which the food to be made into pickles is stored,
In a pickle making machine comprising: a part of the main surface of the base that faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical container;
A sloped surface that allows liquid leaking from a cylindrical container to flow in a fixed direction and guides it to the outer edge of the main surface of the base, and a liquid receiving means provided below the terminal end of the sloped surface to receive the liquid that has flowed down the sloped surface. It is characterized by

[Function] The pickle making machine according to this invention directs the water containing bran miso etc. leaking from the cylindrical container to the outer edge of the main surface of the base on the part of the main surface of the base that faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical container. There is a sloped surface to guide you. Liquid receiving means for receiving water containing bran soybean paste and the like flowing down the slope is provided below the terminal end of the slope. Therefore, water containing bran miso etc. leaking from the cylindrical container is collected in the liquid receiving means.

[Example] An example of the pickle making machine according to this invention will be described. The pickle making machine according to this invention includes a base portion and a container.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the base of an embodiment of the pickle making machine according to this invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a concave portion 12 is provided on the main surface of the base 11. As shown in FIG. The concave portion 12 is inclined downward from the base front portion 13 toward the base rear portion 14. A drive roller 15 and a sub-roller 16 are provided on the surface of the concave portion 12 . The container 21 is placed on the drive roller 15 and the sub roller 16, and the drive roller 15
The container 21 is rotated in the direction of arrow B by the rotational driving force. The base front section 13 faces diagonally upward. A timer 17 is attached to the front face portion 13 of the base.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the base 11 shown in FIG. 1 taken along the direction of the arrow.

FIG. 3 shows the base 11 shown in FIG.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the direction. Third
As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, motor 1
8 and the drive roller 15 are separate, and the motor 18 is provided above the bottom surface 19 of the base 11. A saucer 20 is provided below the base back portion 14. In this embodiment, water containing bran soybean paste and the like that is guided in a predetermined direction is collected in a saucer 20.
Therefore, water containing bran soybean paste and the like that leaks from the container 21 flows through the concave portion 12 in the direction of arrow C and is collected in the saucer 20.

Next, the container 21 will be explained. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a container 21 of an embodiment of the pickle making machine according to this invention. The container 21 has a cylindrical shape, and a roller contact surface 22 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the container 21.
a, 22b are provided. There is a taper 23 between the roller contact surfaces 22a and 22b of the outer peripheral wall of the container 21. The mouth 24 of the container 21 is closed by an inner lid 25 and a cap 26. Gas vent holes 27 are provided in the inner lid 25 and the cap 26. The cap 26 is also thinner than the conventional cap 9 shown in FIG.

According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
1, leaks along the outer wall of the container 21, and leaks from the concave portion 12.
The water containing bran miso etc. that fell on the concave part 1
2 flows in the direction of arrow C and is collected in a saucer 20. Therefore, the base 28, such as a table on which the base 11 is placed, is no longer flooded with water containing bran, miso, etc., resulting in unsanitary conditions. In addition, cleaning of water containing rice bran, etc., can be done only on the concave surface part 12, and the main surface of the base, as in the conventional case,
This saves time and effort compared to having to clean the through hole and the table on which the base is placed.

Furthermore, even if water containing rice bran or the like adheres to the drive roller 15, the drive roller 15 will be damaged as shown in FIG.
Since the motor 5 and the motor 18 are separated, the motor 18 will not get wet. Therefore, there is no need to make the motor 18 waterproof, and the manufacturing cost of the pickle making machine can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the surface area of the driving roller 15 and sub-roller 16 protruding above the concave surface portion 12 is smaller than that of the conventional roller shown in FIG. Therefore, it is less likely that water containing bran miso etc. will enter the base 11 from the portion of the concave portion 12 where the drive roller 15 and the sub roller 16 are provided. Even if the motor 18 were to be submerged in water, as shown in FIG. 3, the motor 18 is mounted above the base bottom surface 19, so the motor 18 will not be submerged in water containing bran miso or the like.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness of the cap 26 is made thinner than the thickness of the conventional cap 9 shown in FIG. 7, so that the center of gravity of the container 21 is stabilized and the container 21 will not fall over during rotation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since a chevron-shaped taper 23 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the container 21,
This prevents the container 21 from shifting toward the base front section 13 or the base rear section 14 during rotation and causing the container 21 to fall.

In this example, a concave portion 12 that is inclined downward from the front surface portion 13 of the base to the rear surface portion 14 of the base shown in FIG. 1 is provided on the main surface of the base to contain rice bran, etc. Although water was collected at a predetermined location, the base front section 13 instead of the concave section 12
A groove may be provided that is inclined toward the base back surface 14.

[Effect] The pickle making machine according to this invention has the main surface of the base facing the peripheral surface of the cylindrical container, and the water containing bran miso etc. that leaked from the cylindrical container is transferred to the outer edge of the main surface of the base. A liquid receiving means is provided below the end of the slope to receive the water containing bran miso etc. that has flowed down the inclined surface, so that water containing bran miso etc. leaking from the cylindrical container can be collected. can be collected in the liquid receiving means. Therefore, the table or other base on which the base is placed will not be soaked with water containing bran, miso, etc., resulting in unsanitary conditions.
