Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a juicer that cuts a material to be cooked and also presses the cut material to perform reuse processing.

(Prior Art) In this type of conventional technology, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 72813/1983, a rotating body having a spiral cutting part and a pressing part continuously formed on its circumferential surface is rotated in the axial direction. The material to be cooked is placed horizontally and pivoted inside the case body, and the material to be cooked that is input from the input port is cut by the spiral cutting part of the rotating rotating body, and squeezed by the pressing part to squeeze juice. Juusa is known.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the above-mentioned conventional jujusa, by compressing the ingredients to be cooked and processing the juice, no air bubbles are mixed into the juice, so there is less destruction of vitamins, and there is no air bubbles. It has the advantage of not separating into two layers and causing less vibration due to generation, but after cutting the material to be cooked, Because of squeezing, it takes time to cut the material to be cooked, and there is a problem that the cutting processing time is long.
If the processing time is shortened by increasing the supply amount of the material to be cooked, there is a problem in that it is necessary to increase the torque for rotating the rotating body.

Therefore, in order to shorten the processing time, we have created a juicer that does not contain air bubbles in the juice, does not destroy vitamins, does not separate due to the generation of air bubbles, and has less vibration. It is possible to squeeze it. In order to use a cutter with a large cutting area as such a reducer, the cutter is attached to the end face of a rotating body, and the cutter is attached to the end face of the rotating body, and the rotating body is configured to perform cutting with a spiral squeeze part formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating body. A juicer has been proposed in which the body is rotatably supported in a case body with the axial direction vertical, and a cutter is provided on the upper end surface of the rotating body. However, if the rotary body is supported in the case body with its axial direction perpendicular and squeezed using the circumferential surface of the rotary body, the squeezed juice will be discharged from the bottom of the case, and the juice will be squeezed out from the bottom of the case. The waste also flows downward, and the squeezed out waste is again impregnated with the waste, resulting in a problem that the separation efficiency of the waste is poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a juicer that can increase the cutting efficiency of the material to be cooked and reduce the time required for juice processing, as well as increase the separation efficiency of juices and perform the juice processing with a relatively small torque. It is something.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The extractor of the present invention includes a plate-shaped cutter having a cutting blade, the cutter is provided on the upper surface, a spiral squeeze portion is formed on the circumferential surface, and the cutter rotates around a vertical axis. A rotating body, a case body having a surrounding part surrounding the squeezing part of the rotating body with a booth to form a cooking chamber, and having a juice outlet part and a combing discharge part opened in the surrounding part, and the case body. a filter provided at the juice outlet; and a lid body that covers the top opening of the case body and forms a cooking material input port facing the plate-shaped cutter, and the inner surface of the filter is connected to the surrounding part. The gap between the squeezing portion of the rotating body and the inner surface of the surrounding portion is substantially the same as the inner surface of the filter, and the effective It is characterized in that the upper edge of the portion is approximately at the same height as the upper end of the squeezing portion of the rotating body, and the lower edge is approximately flush with the bottom surface of the cooking chamber.

(Function) In the juicer of the present invention, the material to be cooked is inputted from the input port of the lid body, the material to be cooked is cut by the cutter, and the cut material to be cooked is squeezed by the spiral squeezing part of the rotating body. The squeezed juice portion passes through the filter of the juice outflow portion on the peripheral surface of the surrounding part and flows out into the juice outflow chamber. Since the distance between the squeezing portion of the rotating body and the inner surface of the surrounding portion and the distance between the squeezing portion of the rotating body and the inner surface of the filter are approximately the same, the squeezing force at the squeezing portion is always constant. It becomes homogeneous and can be efficiently squeezed to extract and separate the juice component, and the juice component is quickly separated from the dregs. Since the upper edge of the effective part is located at approximately the same height as the upper end of the squeezing part of the rotary body, and the lower edge is made approximately flush with the bottom surface of the cooking chamber, the effective part of the filter is located at the same height as the upper end of the squeezing part of the rotary body. Since the cut cooking material is squeezed and at the same time the juice content flows out from the juice outflow part, the waste content is not impregnated with the waste content again and the squeezing efficiency is improved. It can be enhanced.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The container 53 inserted into the space 34 between the case holder 4 of the base 1 and the juice outflow chamber 23 and pomace reservoir 31 of the case body 13 is placed on the case holder 4 and the juice is discharged. It receives the youth flowing down from the outlet 33.

Next, when the electric motor 2 is driven by a switch operation,
Pulley 6 of drive shaft 5 and pulley 8 provided on rotating shaft 7
The rotary shaft 7 is rotated at a reduced speed of, for example, 2,000 to 3,000 times per minute by a belt 9 that is suspended between the belts 9 and 9. In this state, input the ingredients to be cooked through the input port 56 and press the push rod 5.
At step 7, the material to be cooked is pressed against the cutter 49.
At this time, the rotary body 36 is rotated by the combination of the rotary shaft 7 and the coupling part 38, and the cutter 49 is also rotated together with the rotary body 36, and the material to be cooked is cut and crushed by the cutting blade 52 of the cutter 49. be done. The material cut and crushed by the cutting blade 52 is pushed out in the outer circumferential direction because the cutting blade 52 is shaped to send out in the outer circumferential direction and has a radial delay angle with respect to the rotational direction. and the surrounding portion 14 of the case body 13.
At this time, since the gap g ₆ between the upper surface of the drawing blade part 43 extending from the spiral blade 40 of the rotating body 36 and the inner surface of the lid body 53 is narrow, the material is surely transferred to the surrounding part 14 at this drawing blade part 43. and the rotating body 36. The material fed between the surrounding part 14 and the rotating body 36 is squeezed into the surrounding part 1 by the squeezing part 41.
4, the fruit juice and solids are separated and transferred downward in the spiral groove 42 between the spiral blades 40. Since the spiral groove 42 is formed to become gradually shallower downward, the material is compressed one after another. be done. Then, the separated fruit juice is passed through the small hole 25 of the filter 26, and is passed from the juice outflow section 19 to the juice outflow chamber 23.
is flowing into the country. Since ribs 20 and 21 are formed on both sides of this youth outlet 19,
When the material is sequentially transferred downward by the rotation of the rotating body 36, the material is caught on the rib 20 on the upstream side in the rotational direction of the rotating body 36, the movement of the material is suppressed, and the squeezing force on the material increases. , the extraction and separation of the fruit juice is promoted, and the movement of the solid residue is again suppressed by the ribs 21 on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the rotating body 36, and is pressed against the filter 26, so that the fruit juice is impregnated with the solid residue again. The fruit juice flows from the small hole 25 of the filter 26 into the juice outflow chamber 23 via the juice outflow section 19 without any problem. Further, no large squeezing force is applied to the filter 26 by the ribs 20 and 21. In this way, the materials are sequentially squeezed and sent downward, and the separated and extracted juice is passed through the filter 26 at the juice outlet 19 and flows into the juice outflow chamber 23, as shown by the arrow in FIG. , the youth is dripped into the container 35 from the youth outlet 33. Further, the fruit juice separated from the material pressed against the surrounding part 14 by the squeezing part 41 of the rotating body 36 flows downward, and the fruit juice flowing between the bottom surface 16 of the cooking chamber 15 and the lower surface of the rotating body 36 flows into the cooking chamber. It passes through a filter 27 on the bottom surface 16 of the filter 15, drips into the recessed step 22, and flows into the youth outflow chamber 23.

Furthermore, when the material to be cooked is transferred downward by the rotation of the rotating body 36 and reaches the part 44 without the spiral blades 40, most of the fruit juice is separated and becomes pomace, and the pomace is removed from the pomace discharge section 30. Reservoir 3
1 will be introduced.

Also, the bottom surface 16 of the cooking chamber 15 is attached to the bottom surface of the rotating body 36.
Since the gap g ₁ is smaller than the gap g ₂ between the outer circumferential surface of the helical blade 40 of the rotating body 36 and the inner surface of the surrounding part 14, the pomace remains between the lower surface of the rotating body 36 and the bottom surface 16 of the cooking chamber 15. Materials that are difficult to get in between and cannot squeeze out the juice sufficiently do not enter the lower surface of the rotating body 36, so the squeezing rate does not decrease, and the material that has entered the lower surface of the rotating body 36 3
6 does not float up, and the squeezing portion 4 of the rotating body 36
The force of squeezing the material due to step 1 does not decrease. In addition, the flow velocity of the pomace that has entered the lower surface of the rotating body 36 toward the center is reduced at the recesses 47 on the lower surface of the rotating body 36, and the ribs 46 that partition each of the recesses 47 cause a delay angle in the rotation direction of the rotating body 36. Because it has
The dregs are sent out in the outer circumferential direction of the rotary body 36 and sent out from the dregs discharge opening 48, so that the dregs do not accumulate between the lower surface of the rotary body 36 and the bottom surface 16 of the cooking chamber 15.

In addition, the lower surface of the rotating body 36 and the bottom surface 16 of the cooking chamber 15
The fruit juice and pomace that have entered between the rotary body 36 and the inner circumferential rib 45a on the lower surface 45 of the rotary body 36 are suppressed from flowing toward the central rotary shaft 7, and are further fitted into the fitting portion 37 of the rotary body 36. Cylindrical part 1 of case body 13 to be inserted
8 prevents the pomace from flowing out of the case body 13.

In the above embodiment, the cooking chamber 15 of the case body 13
There is a youth outflow part 1 in the surrounding part 14 and the bottom surface 16 of the
9 is formed, but it is not necessarily necessary to form the youth outlet part 19 on the bottom surface 16, and the surrounding part 14
The youth outflow portion 19 formed in this case is not limited to one inclined location, but may be formed in a plurality of locations.

Further, in the above embodiment, the juice outflow chamber 23 and the pomace reservoir 31 are integrally formed in the case body 13, but they may be formed separately.
3 and the pomace reservoir 31 may not be formed integrally with the case body 13, but may be formed integrally with the lid body 53.
3 may be matched against each other.

Further, although a structure has been described in which a portion 44 in which the spiral groove 42 is not formed is provided at the lower part of the rotating body 36, and the pomace discharge portion 30 is formed corresponding to this portion 44, the structure is not limited to this structure. The spiral groove 42 may be formed in the entire rotary body 36, and the pomace discharge portion 30 may be located below the cutter 49 provided on the upper surface of the rotary body 36 and below the upper edge of the juice outflow portion 19.

Further, the cutter 49 can be detachably provided on the upper surface of the rotating body 36.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, a cutter having a cutting blade is provided on the upper surface, and a rotating body having a spiral squeezed portion formed on the circumferential surface is surrounded by a surrounding portion of a case body and is rotatably provided around a vertical axis. In this case, the inner surface of the filter is substantially flush with the inner surface of the surrounding portion, and the space between the squeezing portion of the rotating body and the inner surface of the surrounding portion is
and between the squeezing part of the rotating body and the inner surface of the filter〓
The upper edge of the effective part of this filter is at approximately the same height as the upper end of the squeezing part of the rotating body, and the lower edge is approximately flush with the bottom of the cooking chamber. The material to be cooked is cut with a cutter,
The cutting efficiency is increased, and the squeezing force at the squeezing part is always uniform, allowing for efficient squeezing and extraction and separation of the die-use component.The die-use component is quickly separated from the dregs, and the separated d-use component is reused as the dregs. In addition, the upper edge of the effective part of the filter in the juice outflow part is at approximately the same height as the upper end of the squeezing part of the rotating body, and the lower edge is approximately at the same height as the bottom surface of the cooking chamber. Since the effective part of the filter is arranged over the entire squeezing part of the rotating body, the cut cooking material is squeezed and at the same time, the juice part flows out from the juice outflow part. This prevents the residue from being impregnated with the youth fraction again, further increasing the squeezing efficiency and shortening the youth processing time.
