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 pumper consists of a main body 2 containing an electric motor 1 as shown in FIG. 6, 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 material is fed onto the cutter 9 through an input port 11 provided in a container lid 10 that covers the upper opening of the container 3. , the material is pressed against the cutter 9 using 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 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, the fibrous material of the pulverized material gets caught in the slit 6 of the filter 7, and the layer W of the pulverized material attached to the inside of the filter 7 is difficult to separate when cleaning up after use.
Further, there was a problem in that the cleaning of the fibers caught in the slits 6 was complicated.

The purpose of the juicer of the present invention is to solve these problems and to facilitate the cleaning up of the pulverized material 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 filter is formed by a gap formed between the protrusions provided on both sides of the groove and the inner wall of the separation basket, and the protrusions on both sides of the groove are provided in a staggered manner.

Effect: With this configuration, the layer of crushed material adhering to the inner basket after use can be separated easily because the distance between the ribs is large, and as a result, it is easier to clean.
Furthermore, the zigzag protrusions reduce the deflection of the ribs, so that a filter effect can be reliably obtained.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes an electric motor built into a main body 14. A container 15 is provided on the main body 14 in a detachable manner. It has a cylindrical separating basket 17 that is
Inside there is an inner basket 18 as shown in Figures 2 to 4.
are removably fitted. This inner basket 18 is
It is constructed by connecting a large number of ribs 20 with grooves 19 formed on the outside through which the juice liquid flows.Protrusions 21 are provided in a staggered manner on both sides of the grooves 19, and the ribs 20 are connected to the inner wall of the separating basket 17. A filter is formed by the gap 22 formed between the two. 23 is a cutter fixed to the inner bottom of the separating basket 17;
A blade 24 is provided on the top surface, and a material is supplied onto the cutter 23 through an input port 26 provided in a lid 25 that covers the upper opening of the container 15, and the material is pressed onto the cutter 23 with a push rod 27. It is composed of

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, the inner basket 18 is fitted inside the separation basket 17. The separating basket 17 is then connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 protruding into the container 15, and the lid 25 is closed. Here, the electric motor 13 is driven, and the input port 26 is
When more material is put in and pushed in with the push rod 27, the blade 24 of the cutter 23 provided at the inner bottom of the separation basket 17
The material is crushed, and the crushed material flies to the side of the cutter 23, and as shown in FIG.
It adheres to the inner wall of 7 and forms a layer W' of the crushed material.
Then, the juice liquid passes through the gap 22 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 is discharged into the container 15. be done. In this case, the inner basket 18
The smaller the gap 22 between the separation basket 17 and the separation basket 17, the less the amount of fibers contained in the juice liquid. )×100] becomes lower. Therefore, protrusions 21 are provided on both sides of the groove 19 of the rib 20 to create a filter similar to the current filter 7.
A gap 22 of 0.5 mm is forcibly formed. By the way, the number of protrusions 21 is small (protrusions 21 and 2).
1), the ribs between the protrusions 21 are bent by the centrifugal force of the layer W' of the crushed material accumulated in the inner basket 18, and the gap becomes 0.5 mm or less, so that the youth use rate decreases. decreases. On the contrary, protrusion 21
As the number of gaps 22 increases, the original gap 22 becomes smaller, and the use rate also decreases. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of protrusions 21 is small.
In order to reduce the deflection of the rib 20 with a number of 1, the grooves 19 are provided alternately in a staggered manner on both sides of the groove 19 of the rib 20.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when comparing the embodiment of the present invention and the conventional filter 7, even if the pitch of the ribs 20 is doubled (the number of ribs is halved),
The number of gaps 21 (slits 6 in the conventional example) (A~
D) can be made the same, and as a result, even though the number of ribs is halved, the squeezing efficiency of the juice liquid from the pulverized material can be made the same as that of the conventional juicer.

After use, the lid 25 is opened and the inner basket 18 is removed from the separation basket 17. In this case, the layer W' of the crushed material 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 crushed material is mostly attached to the ribs 20 of the inner basket 18. It comes off while still attached to the . After this, the crushed materials adhering to the inner basket 18 are disposed of, but in this case, it is difficult to remove materials such as oranges, pineapple, and tomatoes because they have strong adhesion. When the pitch of the ribs 20 is twice that of the conventional ribs (the number of ribs is half), the adhesion force of the layer W' of the crushed material is halved,
When the inner basket 18 is strongly shaken, the adhering layer of the pulverized material is peeled off and removed as the layer of the pulverized material not attached 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 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 provided in a staggered manner on both sides of the groove of the rib, so that the deflection of the rib can be reduced with a small number of protrusions. Even if the number of pumps is reduced to half that of conventional pumps, the gap for filtering remains the same, and the same pumping rate as the conventional pumps can be obtained.
In addition, since the number of ribs can be halved, the adhesion force of the crushed material can be halved, and as a result,
This has the effect that the layer of pulverized material is easily separated from the inner basket, and furthermore, the inner basket is extremely easy to clean.
