Description

本発明は、例えば、ミキサー（ブレンダーともいう）、ミル等の、カッターで調理物を粉砕してジュース等を作成するための容器部材を本体に載置し、容器部材の載置を検知する安全装置を有する回転調理装置に関するものである。 The present invention, for example, a mixer (also referred to as a blender), a mill, or the like for placing a container member for pulverizing a cooked food with a cutter to produce juice or the like on the main body, and detecting the placement of the container member The present invention relates to a rotary cooking device having a device.

従来の容器部材に連動した安全装置を有する回転調理装置について、図８を用いて説明する。図８は、従来の回転調理装置の断面図である。 A conventional rotary cooking apparatus having a safety device linked to a container member will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional rotary cooking apparatus.

図８において、従来の回転調理装置の本体１は、本体側コネクター４と連結された電動機２とスイッチ３を内蔵している。スイッチ３には、容器部材検知手段５により通電の入り切りを行うマイクロスイッチ等で構成された安全装置６が電気的に接続されている。
容器部材９は、収納容器側コネクター７と直結しているカッター８を備えたカッター台１０と組み合わせて調理用収納容器１６となる。 In FIG. 8, a main body 1 of a conventional rotary cooking apparatus incorporates an electric motor 2 and a switch 3 connected to a main body side connector 4. The switch 3 is electrically connected to a safety device 6 composed of a micro switch or the like that turns on and off the electricity by the container member detecting means 5.
The container member 9 becomes a cooking storage container 16 in combination with a cutter table 10 having a cutter 8 directly connected to the storage container side connector 7.

カッター台１０の容器側嵌合部１４が本体１の上部に設けられた本体側嵌合部１３と嵌合することで調理用収納容器１６は、本体１に対し着脱自在に構成されている。また、カッター台１０には、容器部材凸部１１が設けられており、容器部材９の螺着部９ａが容器部材凸部１１の容器接触部１１ａを押さえることで突出した状態になり、組み立てられた調理用収納容器１６が本体１に載置された時に容器部材検知手段５を下方に付勢するように構成されている。 The storage container 16 for cooking is configured to be detachable from the main body 1 by fitting the container side fitting portion 14 of the cutter base 10 with the main body side fitting portion 13 provided on the upper portion of the main body 1. Further, the cutter base 10 is provided with a container member convex portion 11, and the screwed portion 9 a of the container member 9 protrudes by pressing the container contact portion 11 a of the container member convex portion 11 and is assembled. When the cooking container 16 is placed on the main body 1, the container member detecting means 5 is biased downward.

更に、カッター台１０に容器部材９が螺着されていない場合や、本体１に装着した調理用収納容器１６から容器部材９を取り外した場合、カッター台１０の容器部材凸部１１は、容器部材検知手段５を上側に付勢しているバネ等により構成された付勢部材１２によりカッター台１０の内部へ押し込まれてしまう。よって容器部材凸部１１が、容器部材検知手段５を押し込んでいないので、容器部材９が無いことを検知して、安全装置６は通電切りの状態になる。 Further, when the container member 9 is not screwed to the cutter base 10 or when the container member 9 is removed from the cooking storage container 16 attached to the main body 1, the container member convex portion 11 of the cutter base 10 is the container member. The urging member 12 constituted by a spring or the like that urges the detection means 5 upward is pushed into the cutter base 10. Therefore, since the container member convex part 11 does not push in the container member detection means 5, it detects that there is no container member 9, and the safety device 6 will be in a power-off state.

即ち、本体１に調理用収納容器１６（カッター台１０に容器部材９が螺着された状態）が載置され、容器部材凸部１１が容器部材検知手段５を押し下げ、安全装置６を電気的に通電可能な状態に接続し、さらに、スイッチ３の制御用つまみ３ａが使用者により回されることで通電状態になり、電動機２の回転力が収納容器側コネクター７を介して容器部材９内部のカッター８に伝達され、それを回転させることで安全に調理作業を行う事ができるようになっている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 That is, the cooking container 16 (the state in which the container member 9 is screwed to the cutter base 10) is placed on the main body 1, the container member convex portion 11 pushes down the container member detecting means 5, and the safety device 6 is electrically connected. In addition, the control knob 3a of the switch 3 is turned on by the user and the energized state is established, and the rotational force of the electric motor 2 is supplied to the inside of the container member 9 via the storage container side connector 7. It is transmitted to the cutter 8 and can be cooked safely by rotating it (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

まず、図３（Ａ）に示すように、容器部材９とカッター台１０を組み合わせて構成した調理用収納容器１６の容器部材凸部１１が本体１に装着されていない時は、容器部材検知手段５は、付勢部材１２により押し上げられており、スイッチ３のアーム部１７に設けられたアーム接続部１８は、容器部材検知手段５のインターロック部５ｂに保持されており、更にインターロック部５ｂの左右の障壁である保持用凸部５ｃにより保持されるので、アーム部１７と連動したスイッチ軸部３ｂは固定され、使用者は、スイッチ軸部３ｂと連動した制御用つまみ３ａを動かすことができず、通電切り状態から通電入り状態に変えることができない。 First, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), when the container member convex portion 11 of the cooking storage container 16 configured by combining the container member 9 and the cutter base 10 is not attached to the main body 1, the container member detection means. 5 is pushed up by the urging member 12, and the arm connecting portion 18 provided in the arm portion 17 of the switch 3 is held by the interlock portion 5b of the container member detecting means 5, and further the interlock portion 5b. Is held by the holding convex portion 5c which is the left and right barriers, the switch shaft portion 3b linked to the arm portion 17 is fixed, and the user can move the control knob 3a linked to the switch shaft portion 3b. It is not possible to change from the energized state to the energized state.

次に、図３（Ｂ）に示すように、容器部材９とカッター台１０を組み合わせて構成した調理用収納容器１６の容器部材凸部１１が本体１に装着されている場合は、調理用収納容器１６のカッター台１０にあるカッター８に接続された収納容器側コネクター７と本体１の本体側コネクター４が連結されると共に、容器部材検知手段５は、容器部材凸部１１により、付勢部材１２の付勢力に抗して押し下げられ、スイッチ３のアーム部１７に設けられたアーム接続部１８は、容器部材検知手段５のインターロック部５ｂから外れて可動領域部５ａに移動する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the container member convex portion 11 of the cooking storage container 16 configured by combining the container member 9 and the cutter base 10 is mounted on the main body 1, the cooking storage is performed. The storage container side connector 7 connected to the cutter 8 on the cutter base 10 of the container 16 and the main body side connector 4 of the main body 1 are connected, and the container member detecting means 5 is urged by the container member convex portion 11. The arm connection portion 18 provided on the arm portion 17 of the switch 3 is pushed down against the urging force of 12 and is moved away from the interlock portion 5b of the container member detecting means 5 and moved to the movable region portion 5a.

これにより、アーム接続部１８は、容器部材検知手段５により制約を受けないので、アーム接続部１８、アーム部１７、スイッチ軸部３ｂと連動した制御用つまみ３ａは、使用者により回転し、接点部３ｃを導通状態にすることができるので、回転調理装置は、回転調理を行うことができるようになる。なお、図４（Ａ）は、制御用つまみ３ａによりスイッチ３が通電可能状態になった状態である。 As a result, the arm connecting portion 18 is not restricted by the container member detecting means 5, so that the control knob 3a interlocked with the arm connecting portion 18, the arm portion 17, and the switch shaft portion 3b is rotated by the user to be in contact. Since the part 3c can be made into a conduction | electrical_connection state, a rotation cooking apparatus comes to be able to perform rotation cooking. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the switch 3 can be energized by the control knob 3a.

次に、図４（Ａ）の状態から、調理用収納容器１６又は容器部材９を、スイッチ３が通電入り状態のまま本体１から外した場合の動作を説明する。 Next, the operation in the case where the cooking container 16 or the container member 9 is removed from the main body 1 while the switch 3 is energized from the state of FIG.

調理用収納容器１６又は容器部材９を、通電入り状態のまま本体１から外した場合は、図４（Ｂ）に示すように、カッター台１０の容器部材凸部１１が、容器部材検知手段５を下に押し下げなくなったので、容器部材検知手段５は、付勢部材１２により上に押し上げられる。可動領域部５ａに位置していたアーム接続部１８は、可動領域部５ａの付勢用傾斜面５ｄにより、制御用つまみ３ａがスイッチＯＦＦ（すなわち、スイッチ３が通電切り
状態）になる方向（図内の矢印方向）に付勢される。 When the cooking container 16 or the container member 9 is removed from the main body 1 in the energized state, as shown in FIG. 4B, the container member convex portion 11 of the cutter base 10 is the container member detecting means 5. The container member detecting means 5 is pushed up by the urging member 12. The arm connecting portion 18 that has been located in the movable region portion 5a has a direction in which the control knob 3a is turned off (that is, the switch 3 is turned off) by the biasing inclined surface 5d of the movable region portion 5a (see FIG. (In the direction of the arrow in the figure).

可動領域部５ａとアーム接続部１８は、少なくともどちらか一方が摺動性の良い材料で、またアーム接続部１８が略円形状に構成されているので、図４（Ｂ）に示すようにアーム接続部１８は、可動領域部５ａを滑らかに摺動してインターロック部５ｂに向かって移動し、図４（Ｃ）の位置で、スイッチ３の接点部３ｃは、電気的に切断されてスイッチ３はＯＦＦ状態になる。 At least one of the movable region portion 5a and the arm connection portion 18 is made of a material having a good sliding property, and the arm connection portion 18 is formed in a substantially circular shape. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The connecting portion 18 smoothly slides on the movable region portion 5a and moves toward the interlock portion 5b, and the contact portion 3c of the switch 3 is electrically disconnected at the position of FIG. 3 is turned off.

アーム接続部１８は、インターロック部５ｂの保持用凸部５ｃを乗り越え、容器部材検知手段５が上に付勢された状態になると、インターロック部５ｂに保持される位置になると共に、制御用つまみ３ａはスイッチＯＦＦ状態になる（すなわち、図３（Ａ）の状態）。 When the arm connecting portion 18 gets over the holding convex portion 5c of the interlock portion 5b and the container member detecting means 5 is biased upward, the arm connecting portion 18 is held at the interlock portion 5b and is used for control. The knob 3a is turned off (that is, the state shown in FIG. 3A).

なお、容器部材検知手段５の可動領域部５ａ、インターロック部５ｂ、保持用凸部５ｃ、付勢用傾斜面５ｄの形状は、図２の形状に限定されるものではなく、図５（Ａ）〜図５（Ｅ）に示すように、インターロック部５ｂの左右側面をインターロック部５ｂより上側になるように構成することでも、スイッチ３がＯＦＦ状態で、本体１に調理用収納容器１６が装着されていない状況では、上記と同じくスイッチ３の制御用つまみ３ａをインターロック部５ｂで動かないように機械式に保持することができる。 Note that the shapes of the movable region portion 5a, the interlock portion 5b, the holding convex portion 5c, and the biasing inclined surface 5d of the container member detecting means 5 are not limited to the shapes shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 (E), the right and left side surfaces of the interlock portion 5b are also located above the interlock portion 5b. In the situation where is not mounted, the control knob 3a of the switch 3 can be mechanically held so as not to be moved by the interlock portion 5b.

図５（Ａ）は、図３（Ａ）と同様に容器部材検知手段５は、付勢手段１２により押し上げられており、スイッチ３のアーム部１７に設けられたアーム接続部１８は、容器部材検知手段５のインターロック部５ｂに保持されており、更にインターロック部５ｂの左右の障壁で可動が阻害されるので、使用者は、制御用つまみ３ａを動かすことができず、通電切り状態から通電入り状態に変えることができない。 In FIG. 5A, the container member detection means 5 is pushed up by the urging means 12 as in FIG. 3A, and the arm connecting portion 18 provided in the arm portion 17 of the switch 3 is the container member. Since it is held by the interlock portion 5b of the detecting means 5 and the movement is hindered by the left and right barriers of the interlock portion 5b, the user cannot move the control knob 3a. It cannot be changed to the energized state.

図５（Ｂ）に示すように、調理用収納容器１６の容器部材凸部１１が容器部材検知手段５を下に押し下げるので、容器部材検知手段５は、付勢手段１２の付勢力に抗して押し下げられる。 As shown in FIG. 5B, the container member convex portion 11 of the cooking container 16 pushes down the container member detecting means 5, so that the container member detecting means 5 resists the urging force of the urging means 12. Pushed down.

インターロック部５ｂに位置していたアーム接続部１８は、可動領域部５ａに位置することになり、図５（Ｃ）のようにスイッチ３を動かすことができる。図５（Ｄ）に示すように、調理用収納容器１６を本体１から外すと、容器部材検知手段５は、付勢手段１２により上に押し上げられ、可動領域部５ａに位置していたアーム接続部１８は、可動領域部５ａの付勢用傾斜面５ｄにより制御用つまみ３ａがスイッチＯＦＦ（すなわち、スイッチが通電切り状態）になる方向（図内の矢印方向）に付勢され、図５（Ｄ）に示す途中の状態を経て、スイッチ３の制御用つまみ３ａがＯＦＦ状態の図５（Ａ）の状態に戻る。 The arm connecting portion 18 that has been positioned in the interlock portion 5b is positioned in the movable region portion 5a, and the switch 3 can be moved as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5D, when the cooking container 16 is removed from the main body 1, the container member detection means 5 is pushed up by the urging means 12 and is connected to the arm connected to the movable region 5a. The portion 18 is biased in the direction (arrow direction in the figure) in which the control knob 3a is switched off (that is, the switch is turned off) by the biasing inclined surface 5d of the movable region 5a. 5D), the control knob 3a of the switch 3 returns to the state shown in FIG. 5A in the OFF state.

また、図６に示すように、カッター８を内蔵する調理用収納容器１６ａが、図１に示す容器部材９、カッター台１０、容器部材凸部１１と一体を成す場合であっても同様な効果を発揮することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the same effect can be obtained even when the cooking container 16 a containing the cutter 8 is integrated with the container member 9, the cutter table 10, and the container member convex portion 11 shown in FIG. 1. Can be demonstrated.

また、図７に示すように、カッター８を内蔵する調理用収納容器１６ｂが、図１に示す容器部材９、カッター台１０と一体を成し、容器部材凸部１１が、容器部材９ではなく容器部材蓋１５により押されて下側に凸を形成する構造であっても同様な効果を発揮することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the cooking container 16 b incorporating the cutter 8 is integrated with the container member 9 and the cutter base 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the container member convex portion 11 is not the container member 9. The same effect can be exhibited even in a structure in which a convex is formed on the lower side when pressed by the container member lid 15.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、容器部材検知手段５の調理用収納容器１６（１６ａ、１６ｂ）の検知によりスイッチ３に連動したアーム部１７のアーム接続部１８を、可動領域部５ａとインターロック部５ｂに移動させ、調理用収納容器１６（１６ａ、１６
ｂ）が検知されないときは、スイッチ３の制御用つまみ３ａと連動したアーム部１７の一部であるアーム接続部１８を、必ずインターロック部５ｂに移動させ保持する。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the arm connection portion 18 of the arm portion 17 interlocked with the switch 3 by the detection of the cooking container 16 (16a, 16b) of the container member detection means 5 is moved to the movable region portion. 5a and the interlock portion 5b, and the cooking container 16 (16a, 16
When b) is not detected, the arm connecting portion 18 which is a part of the arm portion 17 interlocked with the control knob 3a of the switch 3 is always moved and held in the interlock portion 5b.

これにより、機械式な安全装置を有すると共に、調理用収納容器１６（１６ａ、１６ｂ）が外された場合は、制御用つまみ３ａ（すなわち、スイッチ３）をスイッチＯＦＦ状態に戻してインターロックをかけることができるので、調理用収納容器１６（１６ａ、１６ｂ）を本体１に載置した場合、カッター８が不用意に突然回転することがない、より安全性の高い回転調理装置を提供することが出来る。 Accordingly, when the cooking container 16 (16a, 16b) is removed, the control knob 3a (that is, the switch 3) is returned to the switch OFF state and the interlock is applied when the cooking container 16 (16a, 16b) is removed. Therefore, when the storage container for cooking 16 (16a, 16b) is placed on the main body 1, it is possible to provide a safer rotary cooking apparatus in which the cutter 8 does not rotate unexpectedly suddenly. I can do it.

以上のように、本発明にかかる回転調理装置は、カッターの不用意な回転を防止して、より高い安全性を確保することができるので、ミキサー、ブレンダー、ジューサー、フードプロセッサーやミル等の各種回転装置全般の用途にも適用できる。 As described above, the rotary cooking apparatus according to the present invention can prevent inadvertent rotation of the cutter and ensure higher safety, so that various types of mixers, blenders, juicers, food processors, mills, etc. It can also be applied to general uses of rotating equipment.
