Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cutter unit for a cooking device that uses a cutter to cut vegetables, onions, potatoes, etc. in a short time.

Conventional structure and its problems As shown in FIG. 1, the cutter unit of this type of cooker has a slit-shaped hole 2 on the top surface of a disk-shaped disk 1, and the cutter unit has a slit-shaped hole 2 that is arranged in a direction that is vertically aligned with respect to the direction of rotation of the disk. A cutter 3 whose side is a cutting edge is fixed to the upper surface of the disk on the lower side of the hole 2, and the hole 2 on the lower side of the cutting edge of the cutter 3 is generally closed by the cutter 3. It was hot. In such a configuration, a slight gap 4 is generated between the fixing surface of the cutter 3 and the disk 1 due to warping or deformation of the cutter 3 or the disk 1, and cutting debris or the like enters into this gap 4.
There were problems such as the disk 1 becoming unbalanced and the cutting debris that had entered the disk 1 being unable to be easily washed away, making it unclean.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cutter unit for a cooker that prevents cutting debris from accumulating in the gap between the cutter and the disk, and allows for easy cleaning even if debris does accumulate.

Composition of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the cutter unit of the cooking device of the present invention has a slit-shaped hole formed in the upper surface of the disc-shaped disk from near the center toward the outer circumference, and in which the entire hole is A cutter is provided with a cutting edge facing over a wide area, and a cutout is provided on the outer periphery of the cutter on the opposite side to the cutting edge, through which the hole of the disk is exposed. This prevents cutting debris from accumulating in the gap between the cutter and the disk, and even if it does, it can be easily washed away.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 3 to 8, reference numeral 11 denotes a main body housing a built-in electric motor 12, and a shaft 13 driven by the electric motor 12 protrudes from the center of its upper surface.
Reference numeral 14 denotes a switch support part protruding from the upper side of the main body 11, and inside thereof is provided a pair of switches 15 for controlling the electric motor 12, and an operation part 16 for operating the switch 15 by pressing. Operation unit 16
extends flush with the upper end surface of the switch support portion 14. Reference numeral 17 denotes a container placed on the main body 11. A cylindrical portion 19 through which the shaft 13 passes is formed in the center, and a switch support portion 1 is provided on the side of the container 17.
4 is located. Reference numeral 20 denotes a cutter mount which is detachably connected to the shaft 13 located through the cylindrical portion 19, and has a disc-shaped disk 21 attached to its upper surface. The disk 21 is provided with a slit-shaped hole 22 extending from the center toward the outer circumference.
A cutter 23 covers the rear portion of the hole with respect to the direction of rotation of the disk 21, with the bladed portion facing forward.
Furthermore, a notch 24 is provided on the outer periphery of the rear side of the cutter 23 with respect to the rotational direction of the disk 21, so that the slit-shaped hole 22 described above is exposed. Reference numeral 25 denotes a container lid that is placed on the opening of the container 17 and has a push plate 26 built therein.The upper surface of the push plate 26 projects above the container lid 25 and can be freely moved up and down a certain distance by external force. It's becoming like that. Further, a cover portion 27 is formed on a portion of the side of the container lid 25 so as to protrude outward. This cover part 27 covers the upper part of the switch support part 14 and positions the container lid 25. And cover part 2
A protrusion 28 is formed inside the switch 7 so as to face the operating section 16, and the switch 15 is closed by pressing the cover section 27.

Next, the operation and operation of the electric cooker will be explained. The container 17 is placed on the main body 11, and the shaft 13
Set disk 21 to
The object to be cut is placed on the container 17, and the container lid 25 is placed on the opening of the container 17 with the push plate 26 being pushed up by the object to be cut. Then, while lightly pressing the upper end of the push plate 26, when the entire container lid 25 is pressed centering on the cover part 27 of the container lid 25, the switch 15 is closed, the electric motor 12 is energized, and the cutter 23 rotates. Can cut objects to be cut. When the pressure on the container lid 25 is released after cutting, the power to the electric motor 12 is automatically cut off. That is, cooking can be performed only while the container lid 25 is pressed, and cooking is completed when the container lid 25 is released.

Here, when the cutter 23 cuts the workpiece, the cut pieces are blown outward from the lower surface of the cutter 23 due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the cutter 23, so some of the cut pieces are removed from the outer circumferential gap 29 between the cutter 23 and the disk 21. However, there is a gap 2 in the direction of rotation.
A notch 24 is formed on the outer periphery of the cutter 23 on the rear side of 9.
Since the hole 22 of the disk 21 is exposed larger than the gap 29, the cutting debris that has entered the gap 29 is blown out from the cutout 24 by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the cutter 23, and the cutter 2
Cutting debris is less likely to accumulate in the gap between the disc 21 and the disc 21. Further, even if the cutting debris accumulates in the gap 29, it can be easily removed by simply rubbing the debris accumulated in the gap 29 against the notch 24 side of the cutter 23 with a brush or the like.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has extremely great effects, such as making it difficult for cutting debris to get stuck between the cutter and the disk, and even if it does get stuck, it can be easily washed away.
