In this embodiment, the juice preparing device includes a handle 100, a straw shaft 200, a rotary driver 300, a curved blade 400, a guard mechanism 500, a safety switch mechanism 600, a driving gear 710, a driven gear 720, a cover plate 800 and a sleeve 900. The rotation driver 300 is fixed to the handle body 100, the pipette shaft 200 is rotatably installed on the handle body 100, and the rotation driver 300 can drive the pipette shaft 200 to rotate through the driving gear 710 and the driven gear 720. The cover plate 800 covers the driving gear 710 and the driven gear 720 inside the handle body 100. Both ends of the pipette shaft 200 are extended out of the handle body 100, and one end thereof is provided with a curved blade 400. The revolving motion of the curved blade bar 400 about the pipette shaft 200 as the pipette shaft 200 rotates causes the curved blade bar 400 to form a revolving envelope that protrudes from the surface of the pipette shaft 200. The juice preparing device further includes a main switch (not shown) disposed on an outer surface of the handle body 100 and actively operated by an operator to be turned on or off. The rotary drive 300 can be rotated when the main switch and the safety switch 610 in the safety switch mechanism 600 are simultaneously in the on state.

When the straw tube is used, a user can insert the end, provided with the bent knife strip 400, of the straw tube 200 into a fruit, then the rotary drive 300 is started to drive the straw tube 200 to rotate, and the bent knife strip 400 can cut the surrounding pulp in the rotation process; the user holds the handle body 100, stirs the end of the straw shaft 200, at which the curved blade 400 is disposed, in the fruit (continuously changes the angle and depth of the straw shaft 200 entering the fruit), and cuts the pulp in the fruit by the curved blade 400, thereby making the pulp into juice in the fruit. In this embodiment, the straw shaft 200 is a hollow shaft, and is equivalent to a straw, so that the juice can be directly sucked through the end of the straw shaft 200 extending out of the handle body 100 after the juice is prepared.

The juice preparing apparatus in this embodiment will be described in further detail below.

The handle body 100 is substantially a rectangular parallelepiped with rounded edges for mounting components such as a motor, a switch, and a circuit board, and the outer surface of the handle body 100 is held by a user. The handle body 100 is provided with a shaft support 110 and a driving attachment portion 120, and the driving attachment portion 120 is located on one side of the axis of the shaft support 110.

In this embodiment, the shaft support 110 is a through-hole provided in the handle body 100, and sliding bearings are provided at both ends of the through-hole. The suction pipe shaft 200 passes through the through-hole and forms a rotation pair with the sliding bearing. Shaft support 110 is capable of forming a shaft-supporting engagement with long shaft 200 and allowing long shaft 200 to freely rotate while forming an axial stop for long shaft 200 with other parts or structures. The driven gear 720 arranged on the sucker shaft 200 forms an axial limit at one position of the sucker shaft 200, and a shaft shoulder on the sucker shaft 200 forms an axial limit at the other position of the sucker shaft 200 in the opposite direction; of course, axial restraint may also be provided by a snap ring or other parts and structures for the shaft. It should be understood that shaft support 110 is used to form a stable support for long shaft 200, and the structure is not limited to a long hole, but may be formed by combining other structures with hole structure, for example, two bearings which are coaxially arranged with a certain axial distance, and the bearings may be fixed on the surface of handle body 100 through bearing seats.

The driving installation part 120 is a cavity which is formed by surrounding a shell and has an opening at one end, a threaded hole and a shaft hole are arranged at the bottom of the cavity, the threaded hole can be used for installing a motor, and the shaft hole can be used for an output shaft of the motor to pass through. The opening can be used for placing a motor in the assembling process. In some alternative embodiments, the drive mount 120 may include only the mounting plate 140, no housing is provided, and a motor or other drive mechanism may be mounted on the mounting plate 140. Because the motor generally has a smoother outer surface, it can also be held by an operator.

In this embodiment, the handle 100 further has a transmission mounting portion 150 for accommodating a transmission, and the transmission mounting portion 150 is a casing structure surrounding the driving gear 710 and the driven gear 720. Between the transmission mechanism mounting portion 150 and the driving mounting portion 120 is a mounting plate 140 (i.e. the bottom solid structure of the driving mounting portion 120) capable of fixing the motor, and a hole (i.e. a shaft hole at the bottom of the cavity) for communicating the transmission mechanism mounting portion 150 and the driving mounting portion 120 is formed in the mounting plate 140, and the hole can be used for an output shaft of the motor to pass through. The transmission mounting portion 150 communicates with the shaft support 110.

Handle body 100 is also provided with a hole 130, hole 130 being parallel to shaft support 110 and located between shaft support 110 and drive mounting portion 120. The holes 130 are blind holes. The sidewall of the hole 130 is also provided with an opening near the opening of the hole 130 for inserting the button of the switch in the safety switch mechanism 600 into the inside of the hole 130.

The rotational drive 300 is provided to the drive mount 120 and drives the straw shaft 200 to rotate. Specifically, the rotary drive 300 in this embodiment is an electric motor with a reduction gear box. The motor is fixed to a mounting plate 140 of the handle body 100, and the output shaft of the reduction gear box extends into the transmission mounting portion 150 through a shaft hole in the mounting plate 140. The driving gear 710 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor reduction box, the driven gear 720 is fixed on the pipette shaft 200, the driving gear 710 and the driven gear 720 are meshed, and both are positioned in the transmission mechanism mounting part 150. The motor, when rotated, may drive the rotation of the pipette shaft 200 via the drive gear 710 and the driven gear 720. In some alternative embodiments, the transmission mechanism can also be a synchronous belt transmission; in further alternative embodiments, the transmission mechanism may also be a sprocket drive, or a belt drive, or a worm gear drive (the output shaft of the respective rotary drive should be arranged to intersect the suction pipe shaft).

The pipette shaft 200 is rotatably disposed in the shaft support 110. The straw shaft 200 includes an outlet section 210, a mounting section 220, an extension section 230, and a cutter mounting section 240, which are sequentially disposed, and has a through inner cavity, and the straw shaft 200 may be used as a straw to suck liquid. The pipette shaft 200 in this embodiment is a unitary structure that may be machined from a tube or shaft piece. The outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200 extends from the side of the drive train mounting portion 150 beyond the shaft support 110 and is accessible to a user. The mounting section 220 is mostly located in the shaft support 110, and a portion thereof is used to mount the driven gear 720. Extension 230 and tool mounting segment 240 extend from the side of drive mounting portion 120 beyond shaft support 110. The cutter mounting section 240 of the pipette shaft 200 is used to mount the curved blade bar 400, and the curved blade bar 400, as well as the extension section 230 and the cutter mounting section 240, can rotate and agitate the fruit.

The tool mounting section 240 is used to secure the curved blade bar 400. The cutter mounting section 240 is a shaft body at the end of the suction shaft 200, and the length thereof can be set according to the diameter value of the fruit to be processed, for example, in the present embodiment, the juice preparing apparatus is used for processing oranges, the length of the shaft body of the suction shaft 200 where the curved blade bar 400 is disposed should extend out of the shaft support 110 is equal to or not less than the diameter of the oranges, and the length of the cutter mounting section 240 should be less than the diameter of the oranges, and can be set to be one third of the diameter of the oranges. The total length of the extension 230 and the cutter mounting section 240 may be set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the orange (a statistical value, which may be an average value or a median value, etc.), so that the bending blade 400 can be sufficiently deep inside the fruit.

The straw shaft 200 in this embodiment is a cylindrical shaft, and in some alternative embodiments, the straw shaft may also be a structure such as a quadrangular prism or a hexagonal prism, and the portion of the straw shaft that is engaged with the bearing is configured as a cylinder. Of course, the portion engaged with the bearing may not be a cylinder, and a transition sleeve may be disposed at the portion, where the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve is a circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface is configured to be engaged with the shaft body.

The sleeve 900 is fixed to the handle body 100 and is fitted around the outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200. The sleeve 900 surrounds the outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200 and does not rotate with the straw shaft 200, thereby preventing the straw shaft 200 from being entangled when contacting with a human body or an object during rotation. The sleeve 900 may be in sealing contact with the outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200 to prevent juice from entering the device along the gap therebetween and to prevent air leakage during juice aspiration from the gap therebetween. The sealing contact mode can be provided with a dynamic sealing ring and the like. Sealing contact between the pipette shaft 200 and the handle body 100 may also be provided.

The curved blade bar 400 has two ends, one of which (in this embodiment, a first end 410 near the end face of the pipette shaft 200) is secured to the cutter mounting section 240 of the pipette shaft 200. In this embodiment, the curved blade bar 400 is an arc-shaped blade bar, and the plane on which the arc-shaped blade bar is located passes through the axis of the pipette shaft 200. The curved blade bar 400 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the cutter mounting section 240 through a tail end, and the contact points of both ends of the same curved blade bar 400 and the suction pipe shaft 200 are located on the same bus, and the arc-shaped cutter body thereof protrudes out of the circumferential surface of the cutter mounting section 240. When the straw shaft 200 rotates, the curved blade bar 400 rotates along with the straw shaft 200, and the area swept by the curved blade body forms a spherical surface, that is, the curved blade bar 400 can form a revolution envelope surface protruding out of the surface of the straw shaft when rotating around the straw shaft as a rotation center. The number of the curved blades 400 is 3 in this embodiment, and they are uniformly distributed around the pipette shaft 200. In this embodiment, the plane of the curved blade bar 400 passes through the axis of the pipette shaft 200, but in other embodiments, the plane of the curved blade bar 400 may be spaced from the axis of the pipette shaft 200 by a distance less than the radius of the pipette shaft 200; alternatively, the plane of the curved blade bar 400 is arranged to form an angle smaller than 90 degrees with the axis of the straw shaft 200, i.e. the two ends of the curved blade bar 400 are located on different generatrices of the straw shaft 200. When only one end of the bending knife strip 400 is connected to the straw shaft 200, the other end is a free end, and the pulp tissue hung on the knife body can slide to the free end along the knife body more easily to fall off, so that the cleaning is more convenient.

In some alternative embodiments, the curved blade bar 400 may also be a resilient blade bar. The elastic knife strip with only one end connected to the straw shaft 200 is more easily bent and deformed along the radial direction of the straw shaft 200 to be close to the straw shaft 200 when the elastic knife strip is subjected to a certain radial force (such as being pressed by the pericarp of a fruit), so that the acting force on the pericarp can be reduced, and the possibility of damaging the pericarp is reduced.

The radius of gyration of the curved blade bar 400 is less than the fruit radius and may be, for example, one-third, one-fourth, or other value of the fruit radius. In this way, the fruit is only required to be provided with a hole having a diameter equivalent to the diameter of the curved blade 400 in rotation, and the curved blade 400 can enter the fruit with a small resistance and does not receive a large rotation resistance during rotation. Meanwhile, the provision of the extension 230 allows the curved blade bar 400 to be freely agitated within the fruit, and also more sufficiently treats the pulp within the fruit.

In alternative embodiments, the curved blade strip 400 may also have other shapes, such as a dog-leg shape including two bends, i.e., a trapezoidal shape with the lower base removed; of course, it may be a zigzag shape including more bending portions. In other alternative embodiments, the curved blade bar 400 may also be in the shape of a space curve, such as a segment of a helix with a large lead angle, and may be fixed to the circumferential surface of the straw shaft 200 in a spirally rising posture centered on the straw shaft 200.

The body of the curved blade bar 400 includes 4 faces, an outer surface 411, an inner surface 412, a first side 413, and a second side 414. The inner surface 412 is generally parallel to the outer surface 411 and is closer to the pipette shaft 200 than the outer surface 411. The first side 413 meets the inner surface 412 and forms an edge that is less than 90 degrees, and the second side 414 meets the inner surface 412 and forms an edge that is less than 90 degrees.

The blade formed between the inner surface 412 and the first side 413 and the blade formed between the inner surface 412 and the second side 414 are located between the outer surface 411 and the straw shaft 200, and the cutting edge of the blade is not located on the outermost surface of the envelope of revolution, so that the blade is not easy to damage harder pericarp, and the blade can not significantly affect the cutting of softer pulp. Because the pulp is soft, the first side surface 413 and the second side surface 414 can extrude the pulp to a certain extent, so that the density of the extruded pulp is increased, and the pulp can be cut by the blade. Meanwhile, the first side 413 and the second side 414 can press out juice in the pulp when pressing the pulp, and the juice yield can be increased.

In some alternative embodiments, the cross-section of the curved blade bar 400 may also be triangular, i.e., the curved blade bar 400 includes only an inner surface 412, a first side 413, and a second side 414, with the first side 413 interfacing with the second side 414. The inner surface 412 and the first side surface 413 are acute angles, the inner surface 412 and the second side surface 414 are acute angles, and the first side surface 413 and the second side surface 414 are obtuse angles. The first side 413 and the second side 414 are at an obtuse angle, and the blade can scrape the fruit flesh, but the fruit peel is not easily damaged due to the large angle and the direction of the cutting edge perpendicular to the cutting feed direction.

When the lower end of the straw shaft 200 and the curved blade bar 400 are inside the fruit, the curved blade bar 400 will scrape the pulp along its sweep path as the straw shaft 200 rotates. The straw shaft 200 is oscillated spatially with respect to the fruit while the straw shaft 200 is rotated, and the inside of the fruit is inserted to different depths so that the curved blade 400 contacts the fruit flesh as much as possible, thereby gradually scraping the fruit flesh from the center to between the peels. The pulp scraped by the curved blade 400 and the juice squeezed therefrom remain inside the fruit without an additional container. The straw shaft 200 is a hollow shaft, and is equivalent to a straw, and can directly suck the juice from one end of the outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200. By using the fruit juice preparation device provided by the embodiment, most of the fruit pulp can be exposed without cutting the orange, and the fruit pulp can be processed in the orange, so that the fruit juice can not flow greatly, the pollution of the fruit juice to a cutter, a chopping board and the hand of an operator is reduced, and the cleaning work and the using amount of cleaning water can be obviously reduced.

To improve the safety of the juice making device, the juice making device may further comprise a guard mechanism 500. The protection mechanism 500 includes a protection member 510, the protection member 510 is disc-shaped, a central hole 511, a relief groove 512 communicated with the central hole 511 and an outer circumferential surface 513 are arranged on the disc, a cylindrical structure with equal inner diameter is surrounded around the central hole 511, a larger contact area is formed between the cylindrical structure and the straw shaft 200, so that a better guiding effect can be achieved, and the protection member 510 can slide along the straw shaft 200 more smoothly. The relief groove 512 communicates with the central hole 511 and penetrates the cylindrical structure surrounding the central hole 511 in the axial direction. The avoiding groove 512 is an elongated groove with a width slightly larger than that of the curved blade bar 400 and is used for the curved blade bar 400 to pass through; in some alternative embodiments, the relief groove 512 may also be a hollow structure with a sector shape, a circular shape, or other shapes. In other alternative embodiments, the relief groove 512 does not communicate with the central hole 511, and the structural width between the relief groove 512 and the central hole 511 is smaller than the distance between the end of the curved blade bar 400, which is not connected to the suction pipe shaft 200, and the suction pipe shaft 200. The central hole 511 and the cylindrical structure are mounting portions of the shield member 510, and the outer circumferential surface 513 is a shield portion. The shield member 510 is sleeved to the pipette shaft 200 through the central bore 511. The guard member 510 is axially movable along the straw shaft 200 when subjected to a force acting axially along the straw shaft 200 to move the portion of the curved blade bar 400 between its ends into and out of the relief groove 512 of the guard member 510. The shielding member 510 in this embodiment cannot completely surround the curved blade bar 400 in the axial direction, and the outer circumferential surface 513 can surround the highest portion of the curved blade bar 400 protruding from the pipette shaft 200. In general, the highest point of the curved blade strip 400 relative to the circumferential surface of the straw shaft 200 is more likely to contact the surrounding objects, and the linear velocity of the highest point is the highest when the straw shaft 200 rotates, so that the risk of accidental injury to the blade body can be greatly reduced by surrounding the blade body from the circumferential direction by the outer circumferential surface 513 of the protective member 510. Of course, the guard member 510 may be a cylindrical structure that can completely circumferentially surround the curved blade bar 400, which is more secure, but would significantly increase the length requirement for the suction shaft 200.

When the juice preparing apparatus is not in use, the guard member 510 is held at the end of the straw shaft 200, and the curved blade bar 400 is positioned in the relief groove 512 of the guard member 510. Since the 3 outer circumferential surface 513 of the guard member 510 has a diameter larger than that of the curved blade bar 400 and a smooth surface surrounding the curved blade bar 400, it is possible to prevent the curved blade bar 400 from causing physical damage to the human body when the juice preparing apparatus is erroneously started.

When the fruit juice preparing device is used, a hole with the diameter smaller than that of the protective component 510 is firstly formed on the fruit, and the bent blade 400 is inserted into the fruit through the hole of the fruit. During the entrance of the curved blade bar 400 into the interior of the fruit, the guard member 510, blocked by the aperture portion of the fruit skin, can slide along the straw shaft 200 close to the handle body 100 and out of the area where the curved blade bar 400 is located, i.e., the curved blade bar 400 is disengaged from the hollow 512 of the guard member 510 and stays in the extension 230 of the straw shaft 200. The guard member 510 does not rotate with the straw shaft 200 when the curved blade bar 400 rotates with the straw shaft 200 and remains outside the fruit at all times. The arrangement enables dangerous parts in the revolving part to be positioned inside the fruit, and ensures the safety of operators.

In this embodiment, the guard member 510 is a planar disk having a smaller axial dimension. In use, the protective member 510 cannot enter the inside of the fruit after the curved blade bar 400 is inserted into the fruit, and as the curved blade bar 400 goes deep into the fruit, the protective member 510 moves on the straw shaft 200 and approaches the handle body 100 under the push of the fruit, a part of the extension 230 enters the inside of the fruit, another part stays outside the fruit, and the protective member 510 also keeps the part of the extension 230 staying outside the fruit. If the guard member 510 is cylindrical in shape, and its axial dimension is large, a large length of the extension 230 is required to accommodate the guard member 510. The protection member 510 is a hollow-out planar disk structure, which can not only realize the protection function, but also reduce the axial space of the extension section 230, so that the straw shaft 200 has a shorter length and the juice making device has a smaller size.

The guard mechanism 500 may be configured to be held at the position of the bent blade bar 400 by the gravity of the guard member 510, may be manually slid by a user to the position of the bent blade bar 400, or may be configured to hold the guard member 510 at the bent blade bar 400 by a return mechanism so that the guard member 510 can be automatically returned to the position of the bent blade bar 400 in the absence of an external force (e.g., when the bent blade bar 400 is withdrawn from a fruit). The return mechanism may be a spring that is sleeved on the straw shaft 200, and one end of the spring is connected to or against the guard member 510, and the other end is connected to the handle body 100. In this embodiment, the guard member 510 is provided to be linked with the safety switch mechanism 600 so as to be held at the position of the curved blade bar 400. The following description will be made in conjunction with a specific structure of the safety switch mechanism 600.

The safety switch mechanism 600 includes a safety switch 610, a trigger member 620 and a return spring 630. The safety switch 610 is a normally open switch and is connected in series to a circuit (not shown) of the rotation driver, when the safety switch 610 is in an off state, the rotation driver 300 cannot be started, and the straw shaft 200 cannot drive the bending blade 400 to rotate.

The handle body 100 is provided with a bore 130, the bore 130 being a blind bore, disposed parallel to the shaft support 110. The side walls of the holes 130 are provided with holes. The safety switch 610 is disposed in the handle body 100, and the button of the safety switch 610 can extend from the hole on the sidewall of the hole 130 to the hole 130. The return spring 630 is disposed inside the hole 130, one end of which abuts against the bottom of the hole 130 and the other end of which is used for receiving an external force, and the return spring 630 is used for returning the trigger member 620. The trigger member 620 is coaxial with the bore 130 and is free to access the bore 130.

The trigger member 620 is used to trigger or close the safety switch 610, and the trigger member 620 can activate or deactivate the safety switch 610 when it is moved or deformed in a direction parallel to the pipette shaft 200. The trigger member 620 may be triggered by an external force, for example, the trigger member 620 may be configured to contact the outer surface of the fruit when the bending blade 400 enters the fruit to a certain depth, and the trigger member 620 is deformed or moved by the pressure of the outer surface of the fruit to apply a force to the safety switch 610 when the bending blade 400 further enters the interior of the fruit. In this embodiment, the triggering member 620 is a triggering rod, one end of which is connected to the shielding member 510 and the other end of which is located in the hole 130. The trigger member 620 is capable of moving with the guard member 510 and into or out of the bore 130 as the guard member 510 moves axially along the straw shaft 200, thereby applying a force or withdrawing a force to the button of the safety switch 610 to effect activation or deactivation of the safety switch 610. The end face of the trigger rod, which can enter the hole 130, is an inclined plane (end face not perpendicular to the rod axis), and when the trigger rod enters the hole 130 along the axis of the hole 130, the inclined plane can drive the button of the safety switch 610 to move along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the hole 130, which is equivalent to pressing the button, so that the safety switch 610 is switched on; when the trigger lever moves outward along the axis of the bore 130, the safety switch 610 opens when it is out of contact with the button of the safety switch 610, thus breaking the electrical circuit of the rotary drive 300. The aperture 130 in the body 100, in addition to receiving the return spring 630 and the trigger lever, also provides a guide for the movement of the trigger lever.

The trigger member 620 is coupled to the guard member 510, and the reset of the trigger member 620 also drives the guard member 510 to reset, so the return spring 630 and the trigger member 620 are also the reset mechanism (return spring and reset lever) of the guard mechanism 500. In addition, the trigger member 620 is connected to the guard member 510, and both of them can form a rigid body, and the cooperation between the trigger rod and the hole 130 and the cooperation between the guard member 510 and the straw shaft 200 can both generate guiding effect to the rigid body, so that both of them can slide more smoothly.

Of course, the reset mechanism is not limited to the structure described in the foregoing description, and the reset rod (the trigger member 620) does not necessarily need to be guided by the hole 130 (the guide hole) on the handle body 100, as long as the reset rod can be constrained on the handle body 100 and can slide along the axial direction of the straw shaft 200, for example, two or more coaxial rings with a certain distance can be arranged on the surface of the handle body 100, and the reset rod can move in the ring hole.

In the above-mentioned technical solution, the reset rod is connected to the guard member 510 by one end thereof to realize the linkage with the guard member, but the connection between the two is not necessary, for example, the reset rod and the guard member 510 may be in abutting contact, the guard member 510 may also drive the reset rod to move when approaching the handle body 100 along the straw shaft 200, and the reset rod may also drive the guard member 510 to reset when moving towards the end of the straw shaft 200 under the action of the reset spring 630.

In alternative embodiments, the return spring 630 may also be disposed off of the bore 130, such as on the pipette shaft 200. The return spring 630 may drive the guard member 510 to return, and since the guard member 510 is linked to the trigger member 620, the trigger member 620 may also be driven to return when the guard member 510 returns.

In some alternative embodiments, the triggering member 620 may be replaced with a spring, one end of which is connected to the guard member 510, and the other end of which directly or indirectly acts on a triggering button of the safety switch (correspondingly, the direction of pressing or popping up of the button of the safety switch is set to be axial along the pipette shaft 200), and the button of the safety switch can be pressed down to trigger the switch when the spring is compressed to a predetermined length. The spring may be fitted around the outer circumferential surface of the straw shaft 200, or may be disposed parallel to the straw shaft 200 on one side of the straw shaft 200.

In this embodiment, the guard mechanism 500 is configured to be capable of linking with the safety switch mechanism 600, that is, when a part of the components in the guard mechanism 500 moves along the axial direction of the straw shaft 200, the part of the components in the safety switch mechanism 600 can be driven to move, and the two components are configured to be linked to simplify the structure of the juice preparing device, but not to fulfill the necessary condition for preparing juice. In other alternative embodiments, the guard mechanism 500 and the safety switch mechanism 600 may also be individually actuated.

The juice producing device in this embodiment further comprises a battery (not shown) for supplying power to the rotary drive 300. In some alternative embodiments, the juice preparing device is not provided with a battery, but is provided with a power supply interface instead of the battery, and the rotation driver 300 can be powered by the connection of an external power supply and the power supply interface. The size and mass of the juice making device without batteries can be significantly reduced.

The complete operation of the juice preparation device is described below.

A hole of a diameter corresponding to the curved blade 400 is made in the outer surface of a fruit such as an orange, or a part of the peel of the fruit is cut off, leaving a part of the flesh exposed or nearly exposed. The operator holds the handle body 100 and inserts the extension 230 of the pipette shaft 200, the cutter mounting section 240, and the curved blade bar 400 into the interior of the fruit. In this process, the guard member 510 cannot enter the interior of the fruit, so the guard member 510 slides along the straw shaft 200 and disengages from the curved blade bar 400. At the same time, the guard member 510 drives the trigger member 620 to move in a direction parallel to the straw shaft 200, when the curved blade 400 is fully inserted into the straw shaft, the slope of the top end of the trigger member 620 triggers the safety switch 610, and at this time, the operator turns on the main switch, the rotary drive 300 drives the straw shaft 200 to rotate, and the curved blade 400 begins to scrape the surrounding pulp. The operator can change the depth and angle of the straw shaft 200 into the interior of the fruit to enable the curved blade bar 400 to scrape a substantial portion of the pulp inside the fruit.

After the pulp processing is completed, the operator closes the main switch and sucks the juice from the end of the outlet section 210 of the straw shaft 200.

After the operator finishes eating the food, the straw shaft 200 is withdrawn from the fruit, during which the trigger member 620 gradually protrudes from the hole 130 under the action of the return spring 630, and at the same time, drives the guard member 510 to slide toward the position of the curved blade bar 400. When the triggering member 620 is finally reset, the slope of one end of the triggering member 620 is separated from the contact of the safety switch 610 to turn off the safety switch 610; the guard member 510 reaches the position of the curved blade bar 400 and envelops the curved blade bar 400. When the curved blade 400 is pulled out of the fruit, if the operator accidentally triggers the main switch, the turning drive 300 will not be activated because the safety switch 610 is in the off state. Moreover, even if the circuit is connected due to a failure, since one end of the trigger 620 is still located in the hole 130 of the handle 100 and the other end is fixed to the guard 510, the rotation of the straw shaft 200 is hindered, the danger of the rotation of the curved blade 400 is prevented, and the safety factor is further increased.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a guard mechanism according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the structure of the curved blade bar 400 is not shown in the figure in order to show the structure of the guard mechanism more clearly. The protection mechanism comprises a protection component 510 and a reset mechanism, the reset mechanism comprises two movable rod groups 520, each movable rod group 520 comprises a first rod 521, a second rod 522 and an elastic piece 523, the first rods 521 are hinged to the handle body 100, one end of each second rod 522 is hinged to the first rods 521, the other end of each second rod 522 is hinged to the protection component 510, the elastic pieces 523 are arranged between the first rods 521 and the second rods 522, and the elastic pieces 523 can be tensioned when the opening angle between the first rods 521 and the second rods 522 is reduced. The initial angle between the first 521 and second 522 rods is less than 180 degrees.

The elastic member 523 is a torsion spring in this embodiment, and is connected to the hinge of the first lever 521 and the second lever 522. When the guard member 510 approaches the handle body 100 along the straw shaft 200, the guard member 510 drives the movable rod set 520 to move, so that the included angle between the first rod 521 and the second rod 522 is reduced, the stress in the torsion spring is increased, and a restoring force is generated, when the force driving the guard member 510 to approach the handle body 100 disappears, the elastic member 523 can drive the first rod 521 to open relative to the second rod 522, and the movable rod set 520 can drive the guard member 510 to restore to the position of the curved blade bar 400.

In other embodiments, the movable rod set 520 and the safety switch mechanism 600 may be linked, for example, a lever or a cam may be disposed on the first rod 521, such that the lever or the cam can press a button of the safety switch 610 when the first rod 521 rotates to a certain angle.

In some alternative embodiments, the elastic member 523 may also be a tension spring or a compression spring. The spring can be extended or compressed to accumulate energy when the angle between the first 521 and second 522 levers is changed.

In other alternative embodiments, the elastic member 523 may also be an elastic band, which can be stretched to store energy when the angle between the first rod 521 and the second rod 522 is reduced.

Referring to fig. 7 to 9, fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of a juice extracting device according to another embodiment of the present invention, fig. 8 is a sectional view of the juice extracting device shown in fig. 7, and fig. 9 is a schematic structural view of the juice extracting device shown in fig. 7 with a tray body hidden. The juice preparing device shown in fig. 7 to 9 has substantially the same structure as the juice preparing device described in the previous embodiment except for the structure of the safety switch mechanism and the guard mechanism, and will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, the juice preparation device includes the following structure: handle body 100, pipette shaft 200, rotary drive 300, bending blade 400, guard mechanism 500a, safety switch mechanism 600a, driving gear 710, driven gear 720 and cover plate 800. The connection among the straw shaft 200, the rotary driver 300, the curved blade 400, the driving gear 710, the driven gear 720, and the cover plate 800 and the connection between them and the handle body 100 are the same as those of the juice preparing apparatus shown in fig. 2, and the detailed structure can refer to the description of the previous embodiment.

In this embodiment, the guard mechanism 500a includes a guard member 510a and a spring 630a, and the safety switch mechanism 600a includes a safety switch 610a and a trigger member 620 a.

The main body of the shielding member 510a is a dome-shaped (umbrella-shaped) disk, the disk is provided with a center hole 511a, a relief groove 512a communicating with the center hole 511a, and an outer circumferential surface 513a, a cylindrical structure with a uniform inner diameter is surrounded around the center hole 511a, and a large shaft hole contact area is provided between the cylindrical structure and the suction pipe shaft 200. The relief groove 512a communicates with the center hole 511a and does not penetrate the cylindrical structure surrounding the center hole 511a in the axial direction. The central hole 511a and the cylindrical structure are installation parts of the protection member 510a, and the solid structure between the outer circumferential surface 513a and the hollowed-out part 512a is a protection part. The shield member 510a is sleeved to the pipette shaft 200 through the central hole 511 a. The guard member 510a is axially movable along the straw shaft 200 when subjected to a force acting axially along the straw shaft 200 to move the blade portion of the curved blade bar 400 between its ends into and out of the relief groove 512a of the guard member 510 a. Since the relief groove 512a does not penetrate the cylindrical structure surrounding the central hole 511a in the axial direction, the shield member 510a is prevented from falling off the pipette shaft 200 by the cylindrical structure when moving toward the distal end of the pipette shaft 200.

The spring 630a is mounted on the pipette shaft 200 between the guard member 510a and the body 100, and the guard member 510a compresses the spring 630a as it moves along the pipette shaft 200 closer to the body 100.

The safety switch 610a is provided on the handle body 100 with the push and pop directions of the switch button parallel to the axial direction of the straw shaft 200.

The trigger member 620a includes a sleeve portion and a pressing portion, the pressing portion protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the sleeve portion along a radial direction of the sleeve portion, and a recess portion for engaging with a button of the safety switch 610a is further provided on the pressing portion. The sleeve portion has a cylindrical inner diameter equal to the diameter of the pipette shaft 200, and the trigger 620a is fitted to the pipette shaft 200 through the sleeve portion and positioned between the spring 630a and the handle body 100. The pressing portion of the triggering member 620a is inserted into the button of the safety switch 610a through the recess, and the triggering member 620a is prevented from rotating out of contact with the safety switch 610 a. When the trigger member 620a moves closer to the handle body 100 along the straw shaft 200, the pressing portion thereof can trigger the safety switch 610 a.

The shield member 510a is capable of compressing the spring 630a as it moves along the straw shaft 200 toward the handle body 100. the spring 630a acts on the trigger member 620a, and the spring 630a has sufficient stress to drive the trigger member 620a to depress the button of the safety switch 610a when the shield member 510a moves to a predetermined position (which may be when the shield member 510a is fully disengaged from the curved blade bar 400), thereby causing the safety switch 610a to close.

In some alternative embodiments, the tab portion of the trigger member 620a may also be a flange that surrounds the sleeve portion so that the guard member 510a does not come out of contact with the safety switch 610a even if it is rotated. In other alternative embodiments, the spring 630a may be disposed on one side of the straw shaft 200 (not sleeved on the straw shaft 200), and the spring 630a may be a tab portion having one end directly connected to the disc of the shielding member 510a and the other end capable of driving the trigger member 620a or a button directly driving the safety switch 610 a.

In some embodiments, it is also possible to not provide the triggering member 620a, but to allow the spring 630a to directly contact the safety switch 610a by placing the safety switch 610a in a suitable location (e.g., closer to the pipette shaft 200) so that the spring 630a can directly trigger the safety switch 610 a.

The embodiment of the utility model discloses still disclose a protective member, its concrete structure refers to protective member 510 and the corresponding embodiment in fig. 1 to 8. In order to improve the safety of the juice making device, the juice making device may further include a protective member 510, the main body of the protective member 510 is disc-shaped, the disc is provided with a central hole 511, a relief groove 512 communicated with the central hole 511 and an outer circumferential surface 513, a cylinder structure with a uniform inner diameter is surrounded around the central hole 511, the cylinder structure and the straw shaft 200 have a larger contact area, so that a better guiding effect can be achieved, and the protective member 510 can slide along the straw shaft 200 more smoothly. The relief groove 512 communicates with the central hole 511 and penetrates the cylindrical structure surrounding the central hole 511 in the axial direction. The avoiding groove 512 is an elongated groove with a width slightly larger than that of the curved blade bar 400 and is used for the curved blade bar 400 to pass through; in some alternative embodiments, the relief groove 512 may also be a hollow structure with a sector shape, a circular shape, or other shapes. In other alternative embodiments, the relief groove 512 does not communicate with the central hole 511, and the structural width between the relief groove 512 and the central hole 511 is smaller than the distance between the end of the curved blade bar 400 not connected with the straw shaft 200 and the straw shaft 200. The central hole 511 and the cylindrical structure are mounting portions of the shield member 510, and the outer circumferential surface 513 is a shield portion. The shield member 510 is sleeved to the pipette shaft 200 through the central bore 511. The guard member 510 is axially movable along the straw shaft 200 when subjected to a force acting axially along the straw shaft 200 to move the portion of the curved blade bar 400 between its ends into and out of the relief groove 512 of the guard member 510. The shielding member 510 in this embodiment cannot completely surround the curved blade bar 400 in the axial direction, and the outer circumferential surface 513 can surround the highest portion of the curved blade bar 400 protruding from the pipette shaft 200. In general, the highest point of the curved blade strip 400 relative to the circumferential surface of the straw shaft 200 is more likely to contact the surrounding objects, and the linear velocity of the highest point is the highest when the straw shaft 200 rotates, so that the risk of accidental injury to the blade body can be greatly reduced by surrounding the blade body from the circumferential direction by the outer circumferential surface 513 of the protective member 510. Of course, the guard member 510 may be a cylindrical structure that can completely circumferentially surround the curved blade bar 400, which is more secure, but would significantly increase the length requirement for the suction shaft 200.

When the juice preparing apparatus is not in use, the guard member 510 is held at the end of the straw shaft 200, and the curved blade bar 400 is positioned in the relief groove 512 of the guard member 510. Since the 3 outer circumferential surface 513 of the guard member 510 has a diameter larger than that of the curved blade bar 400 and a smooth surface surrounding the curved blade bar 400, it is possible to prevent the curved blade bar 400 from causing physical damage to the human body when the juice preparing apparatus is erroneously started.

When the fruit juice preparing device is used, a hole with the diameter smaller than that of the protective component 510 is firstly formed on the fruit, and the bent blade 400 is inserted into the fruit through the hole of the fruit. During the entrance of the curved blade bar 400 into the interior of the fruit, the guard member 510, blocked by the aperture portion of the fruit skin, can slide along the straw shaft 200 close to the handle body 100 and out of the area where the curved blade bar 400 is located, i.e., the curved blade bar 400 is disengaged from the hollow 512 of the guard member 510 and stays in the extension 230 of the straw shaft 200. The guard member 510 does not rotate with the straw shaft 200 when the curved blade bar 400 rotates with the straw shaft 200 and remains outside the fruit at all times. The arrangement enables dangerous parts in the revolving part to be positioned inside the fruit, and ensures the safety of operators.

In this embodiment, the guard member 510 is a planar disk having a smaller axial dimension. In use, the protective member 510 cannot enter the inside of the fruit after the curved blade bar 400 is inserted into the fruit, and as the curved blade bar 400 goes deep into the fruit, the protective member 510 moves on the straw shaft 200 and approaches the handle body 100 under the push of the fruit, a part of the extension 230 enters the inside of the fruit, another part stays outside the fruit, and the protective member 510 also keeps the part of the extension 230 staying outside the fruit. If the guard member 510 is cylindrical in shape, and its axial dimension is large, a large length of the extension 230 is required to accommodate the guard member 510. The protection member 510 is a hollow-out planar disk structure, which can not only realize the protection function, but also reduce the axial space of the extension section 230, so that the straw shaft 200 has a shorter length and the juice making device has a smaller size.

The guard mechanism 500 may be configured to be held at the position of the bent blade bar 400 by the gravity of the guard member 510, may be manually slid by a user to the position of the bent blade bar 400, or may be configured to hold the guard member 510 at the bent blade bar 400 by a return mechanism so that the guard member 510 can be automatically returned to the position of the bent blade bar 400 in the absence of an external force (e.g., when the bent blade bar 400 is withdrawn from a fruit). The return mechanism may be a spring that is sleeved on the straw shaft 200, and one end of the spring is connected to or against the guard member 510, and the other end is connected to the handle body 100.

The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope of the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
