It has a connector part 18 that fits into the connector part 7. 19 is a cap attached to the low speed connector 14.

The connector 14 is decelerated by one step by a belt 20 placed between pulleys 9 and 12, and further decelerated by two steps by a belt 21 placed by pulleys 13 and 15. The rotational speed of the electric motor 1 is reduced to a fraction of the speed by the speed reduction mechanism and transmitted to the connector 14, and this reduced rotation is transmitted to the separation cage 16 via the fitting portion 17 that is removably fitted thereto. Reportedly.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a juicer cutter, which is integrally attached to the separating cage 16 and the fitting portion 17 with screws 23. There are several protrusions 24 on the upper part of the inner surface of the separation cage 16.
has been established. Reference numeral 25 denotes a cylindrical comb-shaped filter made of an elastic material such as resin that fits on the inner surface of the separation cage 16, and has a large number of slits 26 in the vertical direction leaving the upper part on the side wall, and triangular comb teeth 27 between the slits. is provided. The slit 26 is a comb filter 25
The slit 26a is the apex, and the two comb teeth 27 are in contact with the slit 26a.
A substantially triangular space 28a is formed between a and 27b. In this way, spaces 28a, 28b
There are many. An inclined passage 29 for guiding the protrusion 24 is provided at the upper part of the two slits 26a and 26b, and a groove 30 connected to this is provided.
A protrusion 24 is inserted into the portion.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a cylindrical mesh filter that fits into the inner surface of the comb-shaped filter 25, and its side wall is provided with tens or hundreds of meshes of resin mesh 32.

Reference numerals 33 and 34 are an upper frame and a lower frame that keep the mesh 32 in a cylindrical shape, and 35a, 35, . . . are several vertical frames provided between the upper frame 33 and the lower frame 34.
These frames are made of an elastic body such as resin and are integrally formed into a cylindrical shape, and the dowel 32 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface thereof. Therefore, there is a space between the net and the inner surface of the comb-shaped filter, and the net does not come into close contact with the comb-shaped filter even during rotation. Therefore, the mesh opening is maintained, and the aperture rate does not decrease.

The upper frame 33 and the lower frame 34 are provided with inclined surfaces 36 and 37 toward the boundary with the groove. For this reason, moisture passing through the net can be easily removed, and adhesion at the interface between the net and the elastic body of the frame is improved.

When inserting and fitting the comb-shaped filter 31 into the comb-shaped filter 25, the comb teeth 27 enter along the inclined surface even if they hit the frame, so that attachment and detachment can be carried out smoothly.

When fitting the comb-shaped filter 25 combined with the Ami filter 31 into the separation cage 16, the space 28a or 2 of the slit 26a or 26b of the comb-shaped filter 25 is inserted into the protrusion 24 of the separation cage 16.
8b are inserted together, the protrusion 24 is inserted into the groove 30.
The lower surface of the comb-shaped filter 25 is 16
It will automatically stop coming out at the position where it touches the bottom of the.

Conversely, when removing the comb-shaped filter 25 combined with the Ami filter 31, rotate the comb-shaped filter 25 in the rotational direction of the separation cage 16, move the protrusion 24 to the position of the space 28a or 29a, and then pull it out.

38 is a container containing the separation basket 16, and is installed on the upper body 4. A container lid 39 covers the opening of the container 33. 40 is an input port formed in the container lid 34, and 41 is a push rod.

As described above, the comb filter 2 is placed inside the separation cage 16.
Two filters, 5 and 31, are provided. It is also possible to use only the comb-shaped filter 25 by fitting it, or to use the comb-shaped filter 25
It can also be used in combination with Ami Filter 31, so you can use it depending on the purpose of use.

The opening of the mesh 32 of the mesh filter 31 is smaller than the slit width of the comb-shaped filter 25, and separates the solid content and moisture of the finely pulverized material.

Now, with the Amifilter fitted in the comb-shaped filter 25, when soybean juice etc. that have been finely ground by a mixer etc. are poured into the input port 40, the material is transferred to the Amifilter 3 by the rotation of the juicer cutter.
Jump to part 1. Ami Filter 31 Ami 3
2, the material is separated into solids and water. The solid content remains in the aluminum filter 31, and the water passes through the comb-shaped filter 25 due to centrifugal force and is ejected from the separation basket 16 into the container 38. Moisture that has entered the container 33 is collected in a juice receptor 43 through a hole 42 provided in the container 38. Note that 44 is the lower body 5
It is a reed rubber that is fixed to.

When fruits, vegetables, etc., which are juice materials, are inputted from the input port 40, the materials are pressed against the juicer cutter 22 by the push rod 41, and the materials are finely crushed and sent to the ami filter 31 section. The material is separated into solid content and moisture by the filtrate 32 of the filtrate filter 31.

When the material is inputted from the input port 35 using only the comb filter 25 without the Ami filter 31, the comb filter 25 separates the material into solids and water.

Since the opening of the mesh 32 of the mesh filter 31 is smaller than the slit width of the comb filter, even materials finely ground by a mixer, such as bean juice, can be separated into solids and water. In addition, with conventional comb-shaped filters, the solid content of tomatoes, citrus juice, etc. tends to be mixed, resulting in a mushy juice, but the solid content is separated, making it possible to obtain a smooth juice that is easy to drink.

Next, when the water is squeezed out and the squeezed lees is processed,
The container lid 34 is removed from the container 38, and the separation basket 16 is taken out. After turning the comb-shaped filter 25 in the rotational direction of the separation basket 16, the comb-shaped filter 25 is pulled out and the mesh filter 31 fitted inside the comb-shaped filter 25 is taken out. Discard the squeezed lees stuck inside the Ami filter 31. Since the grain is on the inner circumferential surface, the adhering lees form a donut shape and can be easily disposed of by simply squeezing from the outside.

The connector 8 is used to transmit power to the mixer cutter by removing the juicer attachment and attaching the mixer attachment.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention uses an elastic cylindrical frame and a mesh filter, so the shape is stable, it can be easily attached to and removed from the comb-shaped filter, and the mating part has no gaps. It is easy to handle because it fits securely, improves the drawing ratio, and prevents solid content from leaking. In addition, post-treatment of solids remaining in the Ami filter after use can be easily performed. Therefore, handling of the juicer is easy and the ease of use is improved.
