Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application 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 consists of a main body 2 containing an electric motor 1 as shown in FIG. 7, and a container 3 that is detachably placed on the main body 2. , has a separation cage 5 which is coupled to and rotated by the rotating shaft 4 of the electric motor 1, and inside the separation cage 5 is a filter 7 having a large number of thin slits 6.
A flat cutter 9 having a blade 8 on the upper surface is fixed to the inner bottom, and a lid 10 covering the upper opening of the container 3 is provided.
The material is fed into the cutter 9 through the input port 11 provided in the cutter 9.
The material is fed onto the cutter 9 using the push rod 12.
It is configured to be pressed against the

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 adheres to the inside of the filter 7 as shown in FIG. A layer W is formed. 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 into the container 3.

At this time, if the width of the slit 6 of the filter 7 is wide, the pulverized material will enter the slit 6, and there will be no place for the juice liquid to flow, so the filter 7 will not function as a filter and the juice liquid will not be separated. Therefore, the width of the slit 6 is formed to be about 0.5 mm because it cannot be made very narrow due to processing reasons.
Therefore, since the crushed material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the slit 6 of the filter 7 together with the juice liquid, the amount of fiber mixed in the juice liquid increases, and if you want to drink clear juice with less fibrous content. It was also impossible. In addition, the fibrous material of the pulverized material gets caught in the slits 6 of the filter 7, making it difficult to remove the layer W of the pulverized material stuck to the inside of the filter 7 when cleaning up after use, and cleaning the pulverized material stuck in the slits 6 becomes complicated. There was a problem.

The juicer of the present invention solves these problems, and aims to obtain juice with less fiber in the juice liquid and to facilitate cleaning up of the crushed product after use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention connects an inner basket that is removably attached to the inside of the separating basket, and a number of ribs that form grooves on the outside through which the juice liquid flows. A plurality of protrusions of different heights are provided on both sides of the groove of the inner basket, and a filter is formed between the protrusions and the inner wall of the separating basket.

Effects According to this configuration, since the protrusions can prevent the outflow of fibers, the intrusion of fibers into the juice liquid is reduced, and as a result, it is possible to obtain juice that is easy to drink, and also between the ribs. Since the filter can have a large diameter, the crushed material adhering to the filter can be easily removed, making it easy to clean.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5. In Fig. 1, 13 is the main body 1
A container 15 is removably provided on the main body 14, and a cylindrical separating cage 17 that is connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 and rotated is inside the container 15. The separation basket 1
7 has an inner basket 1 as shown in Figures 2 to 5.
8 is removably fitted. This inner basket 18
It is constructed by connecting a large number of ribs 20 with grooves 19 formed on the outside through which the youth liquid flows, and a high protrusion 21 and a low protrusion 22 are provided on both sides of the groove 19, and the separation cage is A filter is formed by a gap 23 formed between the inner wall of the filter 17 and the inner wall of the filter 17. 24 is a cutter fixed to the inner bottom of the separation basket 17, and a blade 25 is provided on the top surface.
Supplying the material onto the cutter 24 from an input port 27 provided in a lid 26 covering the upper opening of the container 15,
A push rod 28 is configured to push the material onto the cutter 24.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, the inner basket 18 is fitted inside the separation basket 17. Then, this separation basket 17 is connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 protruding into the container 15, and the lid 2
6 is closed, the electric motor 13 is driven, and the material is inputted from the input port 27 and pushed in with the push rod 28, and the separating basket 1
The material is crushed by the blade 25 of the cutter 24 provided at the inner bottom of the cutter 7, and the crushed material flies to the side of the cutter 24, and as shown in FIG.
It adheres to the inner wall of the pulverized material and forms a layer W of the pulverized material. Then, the juice liquid passes through the gap 23 between the layer W of the pulverized material, the inner basket 18 and the separation basket 17, and enters the inner basket 18.
The liquid is discharged into the container 15 through the groove 19 provided on the outside of the rib 20 . In this case, the smaller the gap 23 between the inner basket 18 and the separation basket 17 is, the less the amount of fibers contained in the juice liquid will be, but the juice liquid will also be difficult to pass through the gap 23, and the juice rate [(of the juice liquid weight/weight of input materials) x 100] becomes lower. Therefore, there are protrusions 2 on both sides of the groove 19 of the rib 20.
1, 0.5mm similar to the current filter 7
A gap 23 is forcibly formed. As a result, as in the case of the current filter 7, the pulverized material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the gap 23 together with the juice liquid, and as a result, juice containing a large amount of fibrous material is produced. Therefore, the protrusion 21 and the protrusion 21
By providing a protrusion 22 which is lower in height than the protrusion 21 between the gaps 21 and 21, pulverized material of 0.5 mm or less is caught on the protrusion 22, thereby preventing the pulverized material from passing between the gaps 23 together with the juice liquid. , and protrusion 2
There is a gap between 2 and the separation basket 17, and the other gaps are 0.5 mm, which is the same as the slit 6 of the current filter 7, so it is possible to prevent a reduction in the use rate.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, even if the pitch of the ribs 20 is doubled (the number of ribs is half) compared to the conventional filter 7, the gap 23
(In the conventional example, the number of slits 6) (A to D) can be kept the same. Therefore, even though the number of ribs is halved, the squeezing efficiency of the juice liquid from the pulverized material can be improved compared to that of the conventional example. It can be the same as Juyusa.

After use, the lid 26 is opened and the inner basket 18 is removed from the separation basket 17. In this case, the pulverized material W' is attached to the many ribs 20 of the inner basket 18 and the separation basket 17, but when the inner basket 17 is removed, the layer W' of the pulverized material is mostly attached to the ribs 20 of the inner basket 18. It comes off while still attached. After this, the crushed materials adhering to the inner basket 18 are disposed of, but in this case, materials such as tangerines, pineapple, and tomatoes have particularly strong adhesion, so
Although it is difficult to remove, the rib 20 of the inner basket 18
If the pitch of the ribs is twice that of the conventional ribs (the number of ribs is half), the adhesion force of the layer W' of crushed material will be halved, and therefore, if the inner basket 18 is shaken strongly, the adhering layer of crushed material W' will be halved. The layer of crushed material not attached to the ribs 20 of the inner basket 18 is peeled off and removed as it is pulled as it moves. 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 crushed material attached. Furthermore, even when the inner basket 18 is washed with water, it can be easily done. In particular, since the distance between the ribs 20 is large, it can be easily cleaned by simply moving it in a water bucket.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the adjuster of the present invention has protrusions of different heights on both sides of the groove of the rib of the inner basket, so even if the number of ribs is half that of the conventional adjuster, the filter still works. To provide an easy-to-drink juice with less fiber than a conventional juicer by suppressing the amount of fiber mixed into the juice liquid by the action of the protrusions, while maintaining the same number of gaps for drinking juice as in the conventional juicer. is possible,
In addition, since the number of ribs is halved, the adhesion force of the crushed material is halved, the layer of the crushed material can be easily separated from the inner basket, and the inner basket is extremely easy to clean.
