As shown in FIG. 3, the second capturing member forming portion 82 b has an outer peripheral wall 92 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and an inner space 93 surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 92. The second capturing member forming part 82 b has a second flow path forming part 94 formed in the internal space 93. The second flow path forming portion 94 is formed so that the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer peripheral wall 92 and the inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the first flow path forming portion 87. The second capturing member forming portion 82b is formed with an inlet 95 for sucking gas outside the second capturing member forming portion 82b into the internal space 93 at the end on one end side. In the present embodiment, the suction port 95 is formed as three holes 43, but the number and size of the holes 43 are not limited to this.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 92, a locking receiving portion 96 and an annular groove portion 97 are formed. Two locking receiving portions 96 are formed at positions facing each other. The latch receiving portion 96 includes a vertical groove portion 98 formed so as to cut out to the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 92, and a horizontal groove formed continuously with the vertical groove portion 98 in a direction orthogonal to the vertical groove portion 98. The portion 99 is formed in a substantially inverted L shape. The locking receiving portion 96 is locked with the locking portion 86 formed in the first capturing member forming portion 82a, and the second capturing member forming portion 82b is attached and fixed to the first capturing member forming portion 82a. Is formed. The annular groove portion 97 is formed below the locking receiving portion 96. The annular groove 97 is for fitting an O-ring as the third seal member 100, and is formed to have a width and a depth capable of fitting the O-ring. The state where the third seal member 100 is fitted in the annular groove 97 is shown in FIG.

  An example in which the second capturing member forming portion 82b configured as described above is attached and fixed to the first capturing member forming portion 82a will be described. As shown in FIG. 4A, the second capturing member forming portion 82b is fixed by being moved and fitted in the direction A in FIG. 4A from below the first capturing member forming portion 82a. At this time, the second catching member forming portion 82b is moved to the direction A in the drawing while keeping the engaging portion 86 of the first catching member forming portion 82a in engagement with the longitudinal groove portion 98. Then, after fitting until the locking portion 86 is located at the end of the vertical groove portion 98, the second capturing member forming portion 82b is then rotated in the circumferential direction, and the locking portion 86 is fitted with the lateral groove portion 99, The inside of the lateral groove 99 is moved.

  When the second capturing member forming portion 82b is rotated in the circumferential direction and the locking portion 86 is positioned at the end of the lateral groove portion 99, the second capturing member forming portion 82b is moved to the first capturing portion as shown in FIG. It will be in the state attached to the member formation part 82a. As described above, when the second capturing member forming portion 82b is attached to the first capturing member forming portion 82a, the inner space 93 of the second capturing member forming portion 82b is moved from the outer peripheral wall 92 side toward the center. The second flow path forming portion 94 formed in the second capturing member forming portion 82b and the first flow path forming portion 87 formed in the first capturing member forming portion 82a are located. Further, a first space 101 having a predetermined interval is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 92 and the outer peripheral surface of the second flow path forming portion 94, and the upper end surface of the second flow path forming portion 94 and the first space A second space 102 having a predetermined interval is also formed between the capturing member forming portion 82a and the ceiling surface. A third space 103 having a predetermined interval is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the second flow path forming portion 94 and the outer peripheral surface of the first flow path forming portion 87, and the lower end surface of the first flow path forming portion 87. A fourth space 104 having a predetermined interval is also formed between the second capturing member forming portion 82b and the bottom surface of the second capturing member forming portion 82b. The first to fourth spaces 101 to 104 serve as a flow path through which the gas sucked from the suction port 95 flows to reach the inflow hole 91.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, in the flow path, the gas flowing in from the suction port 95 flows through the first space 101, flows through the second space 102, flows through the third space 103, and then flows through the fourth space 104. It is configured as a route reaching the hole 91. In this flow path, the direction in which the gas flows is folded back in the second space 102 so that the direction in which the gas flows in the first space 101 and the direction in which the third space 103 flows are opposite to each other. The direction toward 91 is folded back in the fourth space 104. That is, the second space 102 and the fourth space 104 are configured as a plurality of folded portions that change the direction in which the gas flows.

  Next, the function and effect of the food processor 1 according to the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the food processor 1 places an accommodation container 3 containing a material or the like in an accommodation space 15 on the placement portion 6 of the main body 2, and removes a piping member (not shown) from the check valve 89. Connect to the side edge. Then, a power switch (not shown) is turned on and the vacuum pump 8 is driven.

  When the vacuum pump 8 is driven, the gas in the storage space 15 is exhausted to the outside of the storage container 3. The gas in the storage space 15 is sucked from the suction port 95 of the second capture member forming portion 82b disposed in the storage space 15 and flows into the internal space 93 of the second capture member forming portion 82b. Then, after flowing through the first to fourth spaces 101 to 104 in the second capturing member forming portion 82b, it flows into the inflow hole 91 of the first capturing member forming portion 82a, and the exhaust port of the first capturing member forming portion 82a 85 is exhausted. In the present embodiment, the gas exhausted from the exhaust port 85 then passes through the flow path formed in the check valve 89, and then passes through the flow path in the piping member, and then reaches the vacuum pump 8 and finally. Is exhausted outside the vacuum pump 8, that is, outside the container 3.

  At this time, the food processor 1 is sealed between the protective member 17 disposed in the accommodation space 15 and the container main body 11 by the first sealing member 53, and between the container main body 11 and the lid portion 13 is the second sealing. Sealed with a member 83. Further, in the lid portion 13, the space between the first capturing member forming portion 82 a and the second capturing member forming portion 82 b is sealed by the third seal member 100, and the space between the shaft body 2 and the rotary bearing portion 23 is rotated. The bearing portion 23 is sealed with a rubber material. As described above, since the food processor 1 according to the present invention secures the airtightness in the accommodation space 15 by using various sealing members or the like, even when the inside of the accommodation space 15 is evacuated by the vacuum pump 8, the accommodation is performed. A vacuum state in the space 15 can be maintained.

  In the food processor 1 according to the present invention, when the gas in the accommodation space 15 is exhausted, the first capturing member forming portion 82a is formed by the second capturing member forming portion 82b and the first capturing member forming portion 82a. The gas is exhausted after passing through the flow path. Therefore, even if at least a part of the material, such as a material or a liquid, is sucked from the suction port 95 along with the gas flow in the housing space 15, the inside of the internal space 93 of the second capturing member forming portion 82 b. The sucked material can be captured. Therefore, when the inside of the accommodation space 15 is evacuated, material enters the vacuum pump 8 and the vacuum pump 8 breaks down, or the function of the vacuum pump 8 is lowered and the vacuum degree as set cannot be obtained. It is possible to reliably prevent the cooking itself from being incomplete. Further, since the material does not enter the vacuum pump 8, it is possible to reliably prevent the parts from corroding in the vacuum pump 8 and flowing back into the storage container 3 to be unsanitary. It becomes possible.

  When the inside of the storage space 15 reaches a predetermined degree of vacuum, the vacuum pump 8 stops operating. Thereafter, the drive motor 7 starts to rotate. When the drive motor 7 rotates, the drive shaft 9 and the engaging member 34 attached to the drive shaft 9 start rotating accordingly. Further, since the engagement receiving member 32 is engaged with the engagement member 34, when the engagement member 34 starts rotating, the engagement receiving member 32 starts rotating in conjunction with the engagement receiving member 32. The shaft main body 21 to which the engagement receiving member 32 is attached and fixed also rotates, and the attachment fixing member 22 attached to the shaft main body 21 and the cooking member 61 attached to the attachment fixing member 22 also start to rotate. . That is, when the drive motor 7 starts to rotate, the rotating shaft portion 12 and the cooking member 61 attached to the rotating shaft portion 12 rotate in the accommodation space 15 accordingly.

  At this time, since the food processor 1 has the shaft main body 21 inserted through the first seal hole 41a of the first seal member 23a and the second seal hole 41b of the second seal member 23b, the shaft main body 21 has these first seals. It rotates in the state inserted in the hole 41a and the second seal hole 41b. The food processor 1 according to the present embodiment has a sliding property and a high heat resistance as a rubber material used for the first seal portion 42a of the first seal member 23a and the second seal portion 42b of the second seal member 23b. Since the rubber material is used, when the shaft body 21 rotates, frictional heat between the shaft body 21 and the first seal portion 42a and the second seal portion 42b is hardly generated, and frictional heat is temporarily generated. Even so, the rubber material of the first seal portion 42a and the second seal portion 42b is not affected by the heat and is not easily elastically deformed. Therefore, in the food processor 1 according to the present embodiment, the slidability of the shaft body 21 can be improved, and the airtightness of the accommodation space 15 can be easily ensured.

  Further, when the cooking member 61 rotates in the storage space 15, the material stored in the storage space 15 is cut by the cooking blade 67. At this time, the cooking member 61 is rotated by receiving the driving force of the driving motor 7, and can cut the material or the like with a force much larger than the resistance force generated in the cooking member 61. Accordingly, the material can be cut more smoothly and cooking can be performed efficiently.

  As described above, according to the food processor 1 according to the present invention, the inside of the accommodation space 15 formed in the accommodation container 3 can be evacuated by the vacuum pump 8, so that the material accommodated in the accommodation container 3 is air. You can avoid touching. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively prevent the decomposition and oxidation of the food components in the material in the container 3 and to provide a material in which the nutrient component does not decrease. Moreover, according to the food processor 1 according to the present invention, the capturing member 82 includes the first capturing member forming portion 82a, the second capturing member forming portion 82b, and a plurality of capturing member forming portions, and the second capturing member Since the formation part 82b is configured to be detachable from the first capture member formation part 82a, the material captured by the capture member 82 can be easily removed. Therefore, according to the food processor according to the present invention, not only the material can be captured but also a good state can be maintained in terms of hygiene.

  Next, a second embodiment of the food processor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that in this embodiment, the description of the same configuration as the above-described embodiment is omitted, and the same reference numerals are used.

  Since the food processor 111 according to the present embodiment is different from the food processor 1 according to the embodiment described above in the configuration of the cooking member 112, the configuration of the cooking member 112 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the cooking member 112 is detachably attached to the rotary shaft portion 12 in the accommodation space 15. The cooking member 112 includes a cooking member main body 113 and an attachment member 114. The cooking member main body 113 has a cylindrical portion 116 and an attachment member attaching portion 117. In addition, an attachment member attaching portion 117 for attaching the attachment member 114 is formed on the upper portion of the cooking member main body 113. This attachment member attaching part 117 should just be comprised so that the attachment member 114 may be attached and fixed, and the structure is not limited.

  The attachment member 114 is configured to be attached and fixed to the upper portion of the cooking member main body 113. The attachment member 114 includes a support receiving portion 118 on the upper portion as the other end portion of the cooking member 112. The support receiving portion 118 is configured to be supported by a support portion 84 formed on the lid portion 13. Moreover, the attachment member 114 has an attachment member attachment receiving part 119 used when attaching to the cooking member main body 113.

  The attachment member 114 is configured to be arbitrarily attached and fixed to the cooking member main body 113 with the cooking member 112 interposed therebetween. That is, for example, in the case of grated ingredients such as making radish grated, it is necessary to attach a grated blade as a dedicated cooking blade 120. In this case, in the food processor according to the present embodiment, the grated blade is placed on the cooking member main body 113, and then the attachment member 114 is tightened from the upper part of the cooking member main body 113, thereby rotating the rotating shaft. It is fixedly attached to the part 12. In addition, in this Embodiment, although demonstrated using the example which attaches and fixes a grated blade as the cooking blade 120, mounting and fixing by the attachment member 114 etc. is not limited to a grated blade, The other cooking member 112 is attached. It may be fixed.

  In the case of this embodiment, the shaft fixing cover member is supported by being inserted into the rotation shaft portion insertion hole 16 of the container body 11, and the support receiving portion 118 of the attachment member 114 is supported by the lid portion 13. It will be supported by the part 84 and will be supported at two points. Therefore, it becomes possible to cut the material in a more stable state.

  Even if the food processor 111 is configured in this way, the same effects as those described in the previous embodiment can be obtained. In the case of the present embodiment, since the cooking member 112 is disposed at a location near the lid portion 13 where the exhaust port 85 is formed, a part of the material is accommodated when cooking while evacuating. It is easy to ride the gas flow in the space 1515. However, since the capturing member is provided like the food processor according to the present embodiment, a part of the material can be reliably captured even in such a case. Moreover, since the cooking member 112 can also be attached and fixed on the cooking member main body 113 like this Embodiment, the variation of the cooking performed by a food processor can also be increased, and it suits a user's needs. It becomes possible to perform cooking reliably.

  Although the food processor according to the present invention has been described in detail above, the above is an example of the food processor according to the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to this within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention, and may be arbitrarily changed. For example, in the present embodiment, the example in which the cooking member is rotated and the material is cut after the inside of the housing space is exhausted by the vacuum pump has been described, but cooking is performed while the inside of the housing space is exhausted by the vacuum pump. The member may be rotated to cut the material or the like, or may be configured other than these. In the present embodiment, the example in which the capturing member is provided in the lid portion on the upper side of the storage container has been described. However, it is only necessary that the material in the storage space can be captured and provided in a place other than the storage container. May be. For example, the capturing member may be configured to be connected to the piping member, or may be provided on the main body. By configuring in this way, the material captured by the capturing member can be easily removed, the hygienic aspect of the food processor can be maintained, and the convenience of the food processor can be greatly improved. Will also be possible. In the present embodiment, the drive motor and the vacuum pump are described as examples provided in the main body. However, the drive motor can generate a predetermined driving force, and the vacuum pump evacuates the accommodation space. For example, it may be disposed at either the base or the rising portion of the main body, or may be provided on the storage container or the lid. These may be provided outside the main body.

  Moreover, in 2nd Embodiment, although the cooking member was demonstrated using the example comprised from the cooking member main body, the attachment member, and the cooking blade, and these were formed as a different body, these were formed integrally. It may be used, and the structure of those other than this may be sufficient.
