Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a slag discharging structure for a squeezing juicer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, vegetable juice and fruit juice (hereinafter referred to as green juice) have been attracting attention as healthy beverages that can be easily made at home. When making such fruit juice, a commercially available juicer mixer equipped with a scramble cutter is used, and the cutter is spun at high speed to squeeze the fruit juice of vegetables and fruits while squeezing the fruit juice to precipitate the fiber. It was common to collect only the supernatant fruit juice.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with conventional juicer mixers, it is difficult to completely separate the fruit juice from the fiber, the fiber is easily mixed in the fruit juice, and the pesticides and heavy metal components contained in the fiber are difficult to wash off with water. There was concern about the adverse effects of the ingredients. As a result, it was necessary to use pesticide-free vegetables and fruits.

Further, since the scramble cutter is rotated at a high speed, there is a problem that vitamins contained in the fruit juice, particularly vitamin C, is decomposed.

On the other hand, the applicant of the present invention has developed a squeezing type juicer which is capable of completely separating fiber from vegetable juice and fruit juice and which does not decompose vitamins, which is optimum for home-made production. . This involves forming a plurality of diaphragm blades on the outer peripheral surface of at least a pair of cylindrical rotary cutters extending in the axial direction and forming a predetermined inclination angle in the opposite direction with respect to the axial direction so that the diaphragm blades of both rotary cutters are mutually The fruit juice raw material is supplied in the meantime, and the fruit juice raw material is fed along the diaphragm blade toward the tip side by the meshing movement of the squeezing blade to pressurize it and squeeze the fruit juice while maintaining the fiber quality. It is a juicer.

[0006] In such a juicer, since the raw material of green juice is squeezed, it is important to treat the slag, and if it remains in the juicer case, it may be mixed with the green juice and the effects of pesticides and heavy metal components may occur.

In view of the above point, an object of the present invention is to provide a squeezer discharge structure of a squeezing juicer, which is capable of discharging the squeeze to the outside of the case without mixing it with the green juice.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the squeezer discharge structure of the squeezing juicer according to the present invention is a squeezer in which the juice is separated by squeezing the raw material while substantially maintaining the raw fiber material by the squeezing mechanism. In the structure that discharges into the juicer case, a pair of feed screw rods are provided extending substantially horizontally at the portion of the juicer case that receives the throttle residue from the throttle mechanism, the tip of which is rotatably supported on the side surface of the juicer case. The pair of feed screw rods are engraved with spiral reverse screws that mesh with each other, and the feed screw rods are rotated to shift the meshing position from the rear end side to the front end side. The feed screw rod can be pressed and fed toward the tip side, while a slag discharge port is provided between the feed screw rod support parts on the side of the juicer case to extrude the slag slag by the above pressure feed force. Made possible The features.

In the case of feeding while pressing the drawing slag with the feed screw rod, it is important that the drawing slag is not divided into fine pieces and is maintained substantially. This is because if the fibrous material is finely divided, the slag will fall loosely from the feed screw and cannot be fed well. Therefore, the present invention has a great effect when applied to the juicer according to the above-mentioned prior application, but can of course be applied to other structures of the type that squeezes juice while substantially maintaining the fiber quality, for example, a roll-type juicer. .

The feed screw rod may be provided in a portion of the juicer case that receives the throttle sludge from the throttle mechanism. For example, when applied to the juicer according to the above development, the feed screw rod may be provided below the tip of the rotary cutter, but considering the layout space, the feed screw rod is integrally provided at the tip of the rotary cutter. Is preferred. Further, in the case of a juicer having another structure, a feed screw rod may be provided at the portion that receives the throttle sludge coming out of the throttle mechanism.

The slag discharge port may have a simple opening such as a circle or a square formed between the feed screw rod support portions of the juicer case. Since the quality may be divided, the slag may spill when moving from the feed screw rod to the discharge port. Therefore, it is advisable to form a receiving part with a large opening area on the inner side of the slag discharge port and guide the slag sent by the feed screw rod to the discharge port. Moreover, when the receiving portion is provided, the protruding portions are formed inwardly on both sides of the discharge port portion, so that the support portion of the feed screw rod, such as the bearing hole, can be formed more easily, which is preferable.

Although the screw thread of the feed screw rod may have a simple mountain shape, there is a risk that the screw thread may be pushed outward from the screw groove and spilled when the slag is fed under pressure. Therefore, if the feed side of the screw thread is formed to have a substantially vertical shape or a cross-sectional shape with an inverse slope, it is possible to press the slag slag into the screw groove and hold it while sending the screw slag, which enables reliable feeding.

It is necessary to rotate the feed screw rods synchronously, but if a pair of feed screw rods are driven together, the synchronization is difficult. Therefore, it is preferable that one is driven by a drive source and the other is driven to rotate. In addition, since the drawing slag is strongly pressed during the feeding by the feed screw rod, the fibrous material of the drawing slag may be broken and become fine, and in such a case, the drawing slag may fall from the screw rod. Therefore, it is advisable to install the feed screw rod in a receiving case having a cross-section of a substantially 8-character shape while screwing the feed screw rod so that the falling slag can be received by the case.

Since it is an important function of the feed screw rod to feed the drawing slag while pressing it forward, it is essential that the feed screw rods be engraved in reverse spiral threads. Moreover, in order to secure the feeding force, it is preferable to set a steep angle of inclination with respect to the axial direction, for example, 70 ° or more, but when it approaches 90 °, the feeding speed becomes extremely slow. Therefore, considering an appropriate feeding force and feeding speed, it is preferable to set it to about 75 ° to 85 °. Of course, the angle of 70 ° or less may be used when the fiber material of the fruit juice is soft and slightly delayed.

[0015]

[Action and effect of the device]

 When juice is squeezed from the raw material in the juicer case and squeezed, the slag is received by a pair of feed screw rods. The fibrous material of the drawing slag is substantially maintained, and the feed screw rod extends substantially horizontally and its spiral reverse screws are meshed with each other, so when the feed screw rod is rotated, its meshing position is changed to the rear end. It can be moved from the side to the tip side, and the slag can be pressed and fed toward the tip side. When the slag reaches the tip of the feeding rod, the slag is pushed into the discharge port on the side of the juicer case and pushed out of the juicer case from the discharge port.

Therefore, the squeeze cake can be reliably discharged from the juicer case, and when applied to the squeeze juicer, the squeeze cake is not mixed in the fruit juice.
