Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a food mixer having an antibacterial function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, food poisoning caused by Escherichia coli O-157 and the like has increased interest in the hygiene of food appliances, and it has been proposed to apply antibacterial treatment to fireplaces, kitchen tables, kitchen knife handles, and other appliances. .

[0003] By the way, as a mixer, which is one of the food appliances, generally, a detachable bottle is provided for a main body having a built-in electric motor, and the food contained in the bottle is rotated by a cutter rotated at the bottom of the bottle by the electric motor. It is configured to mix. Such a mixer grinds and mixes raw vegetables and fruits, but usually does not heat-process processed foods in order to prevent the decomposition of vitamins and the like. Therefore, when organically grown vegetables and the like are used as juices, they are cleanly washed without using detergents as much as possible. It could not be removed.

[0004]

Therefore, studies were conducted to determine whether or not the above-mentioned antibacterial treatment can be performed. However, since it is common to use an organic antibacterial agent for the antibacterial treatment, it is necessary to reduce the amount of vegetable juice. There has been a concern that adverse effects due to elution and vaporization of the drug may occur. In addition, organic antibacterial agents
There is a drawback that it is difficult to heat-process because it is a chemical, so it is not applicable to plastics that are subjected to heat molding, and as a food device in which many plastic molded products are used,
There has been a problem that its use (equipment) is limited.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention is to provide an excellent antibacterial function as a mixer for processing raw vegetables and the like, which is excellent in heat resistance, is capable of molding plastics, has no fear of elution of drugs, and has no fear of elution. With the goal.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a food mixer having an antibacterial function, wherein a bottle base (5) is detachably fitted to a main body (1) containing a motor.
Similarly, the bottle (2) is detachably provided to the bottle stand (5), and the electric motor is used to mix the food contained in the bottle (2) by the cutter (3) rotating above the bottle stand (5). In the food mixer configured as described above, a means is provided in which the top lid (4) and / or the bottle stand (5) of the bottle (2) is formed of plastic kneaded with an inorganic antibacterial agent. Was.

In the present invention, the inorganic antibacterial agent is 3 to 10% by weight based on plastic.
Is preferred. In addition, the food mixer referred to in the present invention,
It refers to one that crushes vegetables and the like using a rotary blade (cutter), and includes all of juicers, mixers, and the like. Further, as the plastic, generally used PE, P
P, PS, ABS, etc. may be used.

[0008]

According to the present invention, when vegetables such as raw vegetables contained in a bottle (2) are pulverized by a cutter (3), the raw vegetables and the like that are pulverized to become a fluid (juice) are obtained. The stirring causes repeated contact with the top lid (4) and the top of the bottle base (5), that is, the bottom of the bottle (2), where it is sterilized by the inorganic antibacterial agent kneaded in the plastic. . As a result, even if there are Escherichia coli and the like remaining in the raw vegetables and the like even after washing, a sterilizing action against the Escherichia coli can be exerted and safe raw vegetable juice can be obtained.

At the same time, the presence of the inorganic antibacterial agent can prevent the plastic from deteriorating due to microorganisms, prevent the generation of slime, mold and odor, and extend the product life of the mixer. In addition, it can be used hygienically for a long time as a food crushing mixer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a food mixer having an antibacterial function according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a food mixer. The basic configuration is such that a bottle base 5 is removably fitted to a main body 1 having a built-in electric motor. Are detachably provided, and the food contained in the bottle 2 is mixed by the cutter 3 rotating above the bottle base 5 by the electric motor.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an upper cover of the bottle 2, which is detachably fitted to an upper opening of the bottle 2, and 5 is an upper portion of the main body 1 which constitutes a bottom of the bottle (2). Both are made of plastics kneaded with an inorganic antibacterial agent. PE is used as this plastic, but PP, P
An appropriate known resin such as S or ABS can be used.

When PE is used, an inorganic antibacterial agent is used in an amount of 30% by weight, when PP is used, 10%, and
20% when using ABS, 20% when using ABS
% Should be mixed. However, it has been found that a sufficient antibacterial function is exerted even when about 2 to 3% of an inorganic antibacterial agent is mixed. The inorganic antibacterial agent used in this example is Bactekiller (trade name: manufactured by Kanebo Kasei Co., Ltd.).

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a rubber packing, which is interposed between the bottle base 5 and the bottle 2 in order to maintain watertightness. Reference numeral 7 denotes a coupler projecting above the main body 1 for driving the cutter 3. The main body 1 may of course be formed of plastic containing an inorganic antibacterial agent.

[0014]

According to the present invention, as a mixer for crushing raw vegetables, fruits, etc. into juice, the top lid and the bottle stand (constituting the bottom of the bottle) are molded from a plastic kneaded with an inorganic antibacterial agent. As a result, the crushed raw vegetables, fruits, etc. repeatedly come into contact with the upper lid and the inner surface of the bottle stand due to the stirring action, and are sterilized. It has the advantage of being able to eat and drink in a degraded state, and has the advantage that food poisoning due to E. coli and the like can be avoided beforehand.
