Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a juicer that squeezes juice from the material cut by a cutter by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of a centrifuge basket.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, this type of juicer is provided with a clamp mechanism that projects upward from the main body and urges it outward, as shown in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 3-18442 (A47J19), places the container on the main body, and then places the container on it. When the lid is placed, the clamp mechanism is engaged with the hole of the container lid, and the container is clamped and fixed by the container lid and the main body. At this time, the claw formed at the upper end of the clamp mechanism engages through the hole formed in the container lid, so that this engagement state was visible from the outside.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned juicer, the claw formed on the upper end of the clamp mechanism engages with the hole formed on the container lid from the inside of the main body to fix it, so the claw of the clamp mechanism appears to appear from the hole on the container lid. .. Also, since the entire clamp mechanism is inside the main body, the engagement state between the claw and the hole is not clearly visible, and there is the possibility of operating without engagement, which was extremely dangerous. Further, since the clamp mechanism is provided inside the main body, there is a problem that the main body becomes large.

Therefore, the present invention has a good appearance, the juicer can be made compact as a whole, the engagement between the main body and the container lid can be visually observed, and the juicer can be operated with the main body and the container lid being securely engaged. The challenge is to provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, the present invention has a main body containing an electric motor, a container placed on the main body, a container lid for covering the upper surface of the container, and a cover on the inner bottom surface of the container. A cylindrical centrifuge basket equipped with a rotor and rotated by the electric motor, and a clamp mechanism urged in a direction to constantly engage the container lid with a fulcrum on the main body, the fulcrum of the clamp mechanism. Is provided in a recess formed on the outer surface of the main body, and when the clamp mechanism and the container lid are in an engaged state, the surfaces of the clamp mechanism, the container lid and the main body are flush with each other. And

[0006]

[Action]

 When the container lid is placed on the main body with the container sandwiched, and the clamp mechanism provided in the recess on the outer surface of the main body is engaged with the container lid, the clamp mechanism is flush with the surface of the container lid and the main body. Are engaged and fixed. At this time, if the engagement state is incomplete, the clamp mechanism protrudes from the container lid and the main body surface, and the user can know that the engagement is incomplete.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body made of synthetic resin in which an electric motor 2 is built in and an indented portion 3 is formed on an outer wall at a position facing each other. A container 4 is detachably mounted on the main body 1. 4 has an upper opening for receiving the produced juice and an outlet (not shown) for taking out the juice is formed on the lower surface. A cup (not shown) for receiving the juice flowing out from the discharge port is detachably installed on the main body 1. A resin-made container lid 6 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the container 4 so as to cover the opening of the upper surface of the container 4 from the upper surface to the vicinity of a cutter described later in a substantially central portion. The container lid 6 is fixed by sandwiching the container 4 by a clamp mechanism 13 (described later) provided on the main body 1. A recess 7 is formed below the container lid 6, and an engaged portion 8 that engages with the clamp mechanism 13 is formed in the recess 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an upper portion formed with a claw portion 10 that engages with the engaged portion 8 of the container lid 6, and rotates around a shaft 11 provided in the hollow portion 3 of the main body 1, and A rod which is biased by a spring 12 in a direction in which the claw portion 10 engages with the engaged portion 8, and when the engaging portion 8 engages with the engaging portion 8, the recessed portion 3 and the rim of the concave portion 7 The surfaces are flush with each other so that they fit together. These configurations are collectively called a clamp mechanism 13.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a high-speed drive connector which is protruded from the upper surface of the main body 1 and fixed to the upper end of the output shaft 15 of the electric motor, and which is provided on the lower surface of the mixer attachment (not shown) (not shown). No)) is detachably connected. Reference numeral 16 is a low-speed drive connector that is concentric with the high-speed drive connector (not shown) and rotates at a low speed.The output shaft is connected via a reduction mechanism such as pulleys 17, 18, 19, and belts 20, 21. 15 rotations are decelerated and transmitted.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a centrifugal separation cage that is detachably attached to the low-speed drive connector 16 and is driven by the electric motor 2 in a space formed by the container 4 and the container lid 6. A fluid is provided above the outer circumference of the centrifuge basket 22 so as to surround the outer peripheral wall, and the space is filled with 35 to 50% of a liquid such as saline to balance the centrifuge basket 22 during rotation. A balancer 23 is provided.

A disk-shaped cutter 24 is provided on the inner bottom portion of the centrifugal separation basket 22 and rotates with the rotation of the centrifugal separation basket 22.

Reference numeral 25 is a filter formed of a sheet-like film, and a slit in the vertical direction is provided in the film portion of the filter 25, and the inclination angle of the slit is 15 degrees with respect to the vertical direction. The range is set to 25 degrees.

Reference numeral 26 is a charging rod for pressing the material charged from the charging cylinder 5 to the vicinity of the cutter 24.

Next, the operation will be described.

The fruits and vegetables are thrown into the centrifuge basket 22 which is being rotated by the electric motor 2 from the throw-in cylinder 5, and pushed by the throw-in rod 26 to the vicinity of the cutter 24, so that the cutter 24 provided in the centrifuge basket 22 is rotated. Cut the material by. The cut material becomes a grater and adheres inside the filter 25 by the centrifugal force of the rotating centrifugal separation basket 22. The adhered material rises up along the slit and is condensed and accumulated by centrifugal force.

At this time, only the juice component from the filter 25 flows out of the filter 25 through the slit, and the juice component mainly rises above the centrifuge basket 22 and is discharged to the outside of the centrifuge basket 22. The discharged juice collects in the container 4 and enters the cup through the discharge port.

With the above-described configuration, the engagement state of the clamp mechanism 13 is not visible from the outside, and since the clamp mechanism 13 is provided outside the main body, the size of the juicer does not become large. .. Further, since the clamp mechanism 13 is sandwiched and engaged from the outside, the engagement state is clearly understood, and the juicer is not operated in the state of insufficient engagement.

In the above embodiment, the color of the rod 9 of the clamp mechanism 13 was not specified, but if the portion of the rod 9 hidden by the recess 3 and the recess 7 is colored differently from the surface of the main body 1. Since the engagement state of the clamp mechanism 13 can be better understood, it is safer.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the appearance is good, the entire juicer can be made compact, and the engagement between the main body and the container lid can be visually confirmed, the operation can be performed in a state where the main body and the container lid are securely engaged. It has effects such as high safety.
