[Detailed description of the invention]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a juicer for crushing vegetables, fruits, etc. and centrifuging the juice. 2. Description of the Related Art In general, this type of juicer, as shown in FIG. Inside, there is provided a separating cage 5 which is connected to the rotating shaft 4 of the electric motor 1 and rotated. A resin filter 7 is provided inside the separating basket 5, and has a large number of thin slits 6 formed between ribs having a triangular cross section as shown in FIG. Fix the flat cutlet 9,
The material is supplied onto the cutter 9 through an input port 11 provided in a container lid 10 covering the upper opening of the container 3, and the material is pressed against the cutter 9 with a push rod 12. Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional juicer, the crushed material of the material crushed by the cutter 9 scatters to the side of the cutter 9, and as shown in FIG. 6, it adheres to the inside of the filter 7 and forms a layer of crushed material. Form W. Then, the juice passes through the layer W of the pulverized material and the slit 6 of the filter 7, passes between the separation basket 5 and the filter 7, and is discharged to the outside from the upper end of the separation basket 5. At this time, if the width of the slit 6 of the filter 7 is wide, the crushed material will enter the slit 6 and there will be no place for the juice liquid to flow, and the filter 7 will not function as a filter and the juice liquid will not be separated. Therefore, the width of the slit 6 cannot be made very narrow due to processing reasons, so it is formed to have a width of about 0.5 mm. Therefore, until the layer W of the pulverized material is formed inside the filter 7, the pulverized material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the slit 6 of the filter 7 together with the youth liquid. Therefore, the amount of fibers mixed into the juice liquid increases. In addition, the fibrous material of the pulverized material is caught in the slits 6 of the filter 7, and the layer W of the pulverized material stuck to the inside of the filter 7 is difficult to separate when cleaning up after use. There was also the problem that it was complicated. The present invention solves these problems,
To provide a juicer which makes it possible to obtain juice with less fiber in juice liquid and also makes it possible to easily clean up the crushed product after use. Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides an inner basket that is removably attached to the inside of a separation basket driven by an electric motor, and a groove portion in which the youth liquid flows in the longitudinal direction of the outside. Constructed by connecting a large number of formed ribs,
A filter is formed by the gap between this rib and the inner wall of the separation basket. Effect With this configuration, the use liquid flows out through the filter consisting of the gap between the ribs and the inner wall of the separation cage, and through the groove of the rib, but the gap forming the filter can be made sufficiently small, and the use liquid It is possible to easily provide an easy-to-drink juice with a low amount of fiber inside, and it is also possible to have a large interval between the ribs, making it easier to separate the crushed material adhering to the filter and making it easier to wash. Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 is an electric motor that is a drive unit, and 14 is a main body in which the electric motor 13 is built.
5 is provided. Inside the container 15 is a cylindrical separation cage 17 with no holes, which is connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 and rotated.
Inside is a resin inner basket 18 as shown in Figure 2.
are removably fitted. This inner basket 18 is constructed by connecting a large number of ribs 20 in a cylindrical shape at regular intervals, each having a groove 19 through which the juice liquid flows in the longitudinal direction of the outside.
A gap 21 formed between the inner wall of the separating basket 17 and the inner wall of the separation basket 17 forms a filter. The rib 20 has an arcuate cross section, and the groove 19 faces the inner wall of the separation basket 17. Reference numeral 22 denotes a cutter fixed to the inner bottom of the separating basket 17, and a blade 23 is provided on the upper surface of the cutter 22.
The material is fed into the cutter 22 with the push rod 26.
It is configured to be pressed against. Reference numeral 27 denotes a projection provided on a part of the portion of each rib 20 that comes into contact with the inner wall of the separation basket 17, and determines the size of the gap 21. The operation in the above configuration will be explained. First, inner basket 1
8 is fitted inside the separation cage 17. At this time, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the pitch of the ribs 20 is doubled (the number of ribs is half) compared to the conventional filter 7.
Even though the number of gaps 21 (slits 6 in the conventional example) (A to D) can be made the same and the number of ribs is halved, the efficiency of squeezing the juice liquid from the crushed material is lower than that of the conventional example. It can be the same as Juyusa. Furthermore, if the pitch of the ribs 20 is made the same as that of the conventional filter 7 as shown in FIG.
The slits 6 can be made twice as large (A to H) as those of the conventional slit 6, and the efficiency of squeezing the juice liquid from the pulverized material can be increased. The separation basket 17 into which the inner basket 18 has been fitted is connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 inside the container 15, the lid 24 is closed, the electric motor 13 is driven, and the material is inputted through the input port 25, and the push rod 2
6, the material is crushed by the blade 23 of the cutter 22 provided at the inner bottom of the separating basket 17, and the crushed material flies to the side of the cutter 22 and is separated into the inner basket 18 and separated as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. It adheres to the inner wall of the basket 17 and forms a layer W' of the crushed material. Then, the juice liquid passes through the gap 21 between the layer W' of the pulverized material, the inner basket 18 and the separation basket 17, passes through the groove 19 provided on the outside of the rib 20 of the inner basket 18, and passes through the upper part of the separation basket 17. released to the outside. At this time, the inner basket 18 and the separate basket 1
The smaller the gap 21 between the ribs 20, the less the amount of fibers contained in the juice liquid, but if you want to include a certain amount of fibers in the juice liquid, you can add a projection 27 of any size on the outside of the rib 20. By providing similar protrusions on the inner wall of the separating basket 17, any gap 21 can be formed, and the amount of fibrous material in the juice liquid can be set arbitrarily. After use, the lid 24 is opened and the inner basket 18 is removed from the separation basket 17. In this case, the crushed material W′ is placed in the inner basket 1.
When the inner basket 17 is removed, most of the crushed material W' is attached to the ribs 20 of the inner basket 18 and comes off. The next step is to dispose of the crushed materials that have adhered to the inner basket 18. In particular, materials such as tangerines, pineapple, and tomatoes have strong adhesion and are difficult to remove.
If the pitch of the ribs 20 is twice that of the conventional ribs (Fig. 4), the adhesion force of the layer W' of the crushed material will be halved.
Therefore, when the inner basket 18 is strongly shaken, the adhering layer of pulverized material is peeled off and removed as the layer of pulverized material not adhering to the ribs 20 of the inner basket 18 is moved and pulled. After that, even if it is fitted into the separation cage 17 again and operated, no vibration will occur because there is almost no layer of pulverized material adhering to it. Further, even when the inner basket 18 is washed with water, it can be easily done. In particular, since the gap between the ribs 20 is large, it can be easily cleaned with fingers. Furthermore, even if the pitch of the ribs is the same as in the conventional case (Fig. 5), since the gap 21 is formed between the ribs and the separation basket 17, it is better than the conventional case in which the ribs are sandwiched between the slits between the ribs. It is easy to remove the crushed material. Now, I use a traditional filter (number of ribs 72, slit width
0.5 mm) and the inner basket of the present invention (number of ribs: 36, height of protrusions: 0.3 mm), the use rate (weight of the use liquid (g)/weight of the input material (g) x 100) and the inside basket of the present invention (number of ribs: 36, height of the projections: 0.3 mm) The table below shows a comparison of the weight of the fibrous material contained in the fibrous material and the amount of crushed material remaining in the inner basket when the inner basket (filter in the conventional example) is strongly shaken. Note that the shape of the separation cage, the rotation speed of the separation cage, etc. are the same.

[Table] The juice ratio is slightly worse for tomatoes and pineapple compared to conventional juices, but this is because there is less fiber mixed into the juice liquid. amount, inner basket (filter in the case of conventional jusa)
It can be seen that the weight of the crushed material remaining in the juicer of the present invention is smaller. In addition, in the embodiment, in order to form the gap 21,
Although protrusions 27 are provided, the number, shape, size, etc. of these protrusions 27 can be freely set. Furthermore, even if the protrusion 27 is not intentionally provided, there is a gap between the rib 20 and the inner wall of the separation cage 17, although it is smaller than when the protrusion 27 is intentionally provided, due to the processing accuracy of the rib 20 and separation cage 17. Therefore, the technical idea of the present invention also includes the case where this gap is used as a filter. In this case, since the gap is small, a very clear juice can be obtained. Further, although the example in which the rib 20 has a vertical shape is shown, it is not necessarily limited to this example.
Even when each rib 20 is provided at an angle,
It is clear that this is included in the technical idea of the present invention. Effects of the Invention As explained above, the juicer of the present invention has the following features. 1. Separate the gap between the inner basket and separation basket that acts as a filter.
Even if it is 0.5 mm or less, it can be easily set without any processing problems. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain clear juice with less fibrous material mixed into the juice liquid. In addition, the gap between the inner basket and the separation basket can be easily set to 0.5mm, the same as with conventional juusa. 2 Even if the number of ribs is half that of the conventional regulator, there is still a gap (slit) that performs the filtering action.
The number of ribs remains the same, and almost the same juice rate as the conventional juicer can be obtained, and in this case, the number of ribs is halved, so the adhesion force of the crushed material is halved and the separation of the crushed materials is improved. . Furthermore, if the number of ribs is half, the intervals between the ribs are wide, making it extremely easy to clean the inner basket. 3. Since it is possible to increase the number of gaps (slits) for filtering compared to the conventional juicer, by doing so, the juice use rate can be improved and clearer juice can be obtained.
