Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to an electric juicer for squeezing juice from vegetables and fruits.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY A conventional electric juicer of this type is the 6th electric juicer as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-25598.
It looked like the picture.

That is, a freely movable fixing plate 2 is attached to the outer surface of the main body 1, and the other side of the fixing plate 2 is attached to the outer side of the container lid 4 and pulled to the protrusion 5 so as to tightly attach the container 3 placed on the main body 1. The container 3 and the container lid 4 were fixed on the main body 1 by hanging.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, after placing the container 3 and the container lid 4 on the main body 1, the fixing plate 2 is rotated by an external force, and the protrusion 5 is attached to the other side of the fixing plate 2. Since the structure is such that the container 3 and container lid 4 are placed on the main body 1, it is necessary to perform two operations: rotating the fixing plate 2, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, in the present invention, after placing the container and container lid on the main body, by lightly pressing the top surface of the container lid downward, the container and container lid are automatically and easily fixed to the main body, and the fixed container lid can also be easily removed. It is intended to do so.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the technical means of the present invention includes a main body containing a built-in electric motor, a container placed on the main body, a container covering the container, and a lower part of the main body. a container lid positioned overlapping the upper outer periphery of the main body; A clamp is provided which is biased outwardly by a clamp, and a convex locking portion is provided at the upper end of the clamp to protrude from the main body and engage from the inside with a hole formed in the lower circumferential wall of the container lid overlapping with the main body, Further, a finger pressing portion is provided below this locking portion.

Effects The effects of this technical means are as follows. In other words, when a container, etc. is mounted on the main body, a container lid is mounted from above and pressure is applied, and a portion of the container lid fits into the convex locking portions of the left and right clamps that protrude outside the main body, and the container lid closes. Fixed on the main body. Next, when separating the container lid from the main body, apply pressure from the outside with your finger on the finger press formed below the convex locking part of the clamp, and the convex locking part of the clamp will move toward the inside of the main body. As the container lid moves, the convex locking portion and the container lid are disengaged and can be separated from the container lid body.

Embodiment In FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, a motor 11 is attached to a main body 12 via a buffer 13 with screws 14. Reference numeral 15 denotes an output shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11, and a substantially cylindrical centrifugal separation cage 16 is detachably attached to the upper end of the output shaft. Reference numeral 17 denotes a substantially cylindrical, comb-shaped filter having a plurality of vertical slits that is detachably attached to the inside of the centrifugal separation basket 16. 18 is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifugal separation basket 16, and 19 is a juice receiving container with a juice outlet 20 provided in a part of its lower part.
Reference numeral 21 denotes a container lid which is detachably fitted into the receptacle container 19 and has a material input port 22 in the center. Reference numeral 23 denotes a push rod 24 for pressing vegetables, fruits, etc. onto the cutter 18, which covers the lower surface of the main body 12 and has legs 25.
This is the back plate with the . Reference numeral 26 denotes clamps provided on the left and right sides inside the main body 12. The upper end 27 of the clamp 26 is positioned inside the upper surface of the main body 12, and the lower end 28 is positioned by a rib 29 provided on the back plate 24, leaving a slight gap in the vertical direction.
9, the upper end 27 of the clamp 26 can be moved left and right using the lower end 28 as a fulcrum. The clamp 26 has a convex locking part 30 at its upper end, and a finger pressing part 31 below it.
are formed, and both are pressed and protruded outward from the main body 12 by a spring 32. and convex locking portion 30
protrudes into a recess formed in the upper part of the main body 12. Reference numeral 33 denotes a lid extension portion that protrudes from the left and right sides of the container lid 21 and fits into the recessed portion, and a hole 34 that fits into the convex locking portion 30 of the clamp 26 is provided below the lid extension portion. Reference numeral 35 is a plate spring provided on the back surface of the container 19, which presses the container 19 attached to the main body 12 upward.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. First, when the container lid 21 is attached after attaching everything other than the container lid 21 onto the main body 12, the lower end surface of the lid extension 33 comes into contact with the convex locking portion 30 of the clamp 26. After that, when the container lid 21 is pressed downward, the spring 3 is released as shown in FIG.
2, the clamp 26 is pushed by the inclined part 36 provided on the convex locking part 30 and is displaced inward of the main body 12 using the clamp 26 and the lower end 28 as a fulcrum, and further pushes the container lid 21 and locks the clamp 26 in the convex shape. When the part 30 reaches the position of the hole 34 provided in the lid extension part 33, the clamp 26 is pushed out by the spring 32, and the convex locking part 30 is fitted into the hole 34. Then, the clamp 26 moves vertically between the main body 12 and the back plate 24.
The container lid 21 is fixed to the main body 12 as shown in FIG. 1 because the container lid 21 is vertically regulated in advance by ribs 29 provided on the container lid 29 . Next, when separating the container lid 21 fixed to the main body 12 from the main body 12, press the finger push part 31 of the clamp 26 from the outside with your finger, and the container 19 and the container lid 21 will be lifted upward by the leaf spring 35. Since the convex locking part 30 does not fit into the hole 34 even if the finger pressing the push part 31 is released,
The container lid 21 can be lifted upward and separated from the main body 12.

By the way, the position of the finger pressing part 31 is the same as that of the clamp 26.
It is set below the convex locking part 30 of. This means that the clamp 26 uses its lower end 28 as a fulcrum and the upper end 28
7 is moved left and right, this is to reduce the stroke of pushing the finger pushing part 31 left and right to move the convex locking part 30 largely left and right. As a result, the amount of protrusion and insertion of the finger press part 31 from the main body can be reduced, and the overall unevenness of the product can be reduced, making it easier to clean. The gap between the body 12 and the surrounding area can be made smaller, making it difficult for foreign objects or water droplets to enter the main body 12 through the hole 36, and also preventing fingers from getting caught in the hole 36.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a clamp whose position is regulated in the vertical direction to the left and right inside the main body, and whose upper part is moved left and right with the lower side as a fulcrum, and near the upper tip of this clamp, which is moved from the main body. A convex locking part that fits with the protruding container lid is provided, and a finger push part is provided below the convex locking part of this clamp, so the container lid can be fixed to the main body simply by pushing it downward. Not only is it possible to separate the container lid from the main body by pushing the finger pusher slightly towards the inside of the main body, but the amount of extension and retraction of the finger pusher from the main body can be reduced, reducing the unevenness of the entire product. In addition to making it easier to clean, since the finger pressing part and the finger pressing part protrude, the gap between the body and the hole can be reduced, making it difficult for foreign objects or water droplets to enter the body from the hole. This can prevent your fingers from getting jammed. In addition, since the clamp does not protrude above the main body, external shocks are less likely to be applied, which is effective in preventing damage. Furthermore, by making the length of the clamp sufficient, the locking distance of the convex locking portion at the upper end of the clamp can be secured, and the clamp can be reliably engaged with the hole of the container lid from the inside.
