Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a juicer for commercial use.

BACKGROUND ART A conventional juicer of this type had a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, the main body 4 has a built-in electric motor 1 and a speed reduction mechanism 2 and has a cutter 3 on the upper part, a pair of cam mechanism parts 5 protruding from both sides of the main body 4, and a pair of cam mechanism parts 5 that engage with each of the cam mechanism parts 5. A fruit holder 6 that rotates on the side surface of the main body 4, a squeeze cone 7 provided on the rotation trajectory of the holder 6, a cover 8 that can be opened and closed to cover the top and both sides of the main body 4, and a fruit holder 6 that rotates on the side surface of the main body 4; It consisted of a cover 8 and a safety switch 9 that was brought into contact with and operated.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with this configuration, when the cover 8 is opened during use or cleaning, the cutter 3 is exposed, which is very dangerous. In other words, since the cutter 3 cuts the fruit in half, it is very thin and sharp, so there is a problem that it easily damages hands and the like.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is equipped with a cutter protector that covers the cutter and is removable and does not close the cover when attached to the cutter.

Effect: With the above configuration, when the cover is opened for cleaning etc., the cutter will not be damaged due to its protection, and even if you accidentally try to operate the cutter with the cutter protector attached, it will not start.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 20 denotes a main body that incorporates an electric motor 21 and a speed reduction mechanism 22. A pair of cam mechanism parts 23 that are rotated by the electric motor 21 are provided on both sides of this main body, and this cam mechanism part 23 is provided with a fruit holder 24. Squeezing cones 25 for squeezing the fruit are provided on the trajectory of both sides of the main body 20 on which the holder 24 rotates. A cover 26 covers the top and side surfaces of the main body 20 and has a fruit inlet 27. On the other hand 2
8 is a cutter provided on the upper part of the main body 20, and 29 is a sheath-like cutter protector that can cover the cutter 28, and has a grip part 29a used for attaching and detaching and a drain hole 29b for washing. have. This grip portion 29a is located at a position where it comes into contact with the top surface of the cover 26 when the cover 26 is closed. 30
is a safety switch provided on the top of the main body 20, and is designed to be released only when the cover 26 is normally closed.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be explained.

First, the user inserts a whole fruit such as citrus into the input port 2.
7, the fruit is cut in half by the rotating movement of the holder 24 and the cutter 29, and then caught by the holder 24, which swings by the cam mechanism 23, and squeezed by the squeezing cone 25.
During such use, the cover 26 is often opened due to a catching error or the like or during cleaning, but in such cases, a protective device 29 is attached to the cutter 28 to prevent injury. Here, it is possible to operate with the protective equipment 29 attached, but if the operation is carried out in such a state, the fruit will not be cut in half and a large resistance will be applied to the cutter 28 or the holder 24, damaging them. becomes. However, in this case, the grip portion 29a of the protector 29 comes into contact with the top surface of the cover 26 and does not operate the safety switch 30, so the above situation does not occur.

Also, when attaching and detaching the cutter 28, it can be done safely as long as the protective equipment 29 is worn.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the juicer of the invention improves safety when the cover is opened by equipping the cutter with a protective device, and furthermore, it does not require operation with the protective device attached. .
