Description

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

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a juicer having a cylindrical separating cage of this type has been designed as shown in FIG. That is, it comprises a cylindrical separation cage 21 that is driven by an electric motor and has a cutter at its inner bottom, and a filter 22 that has a number of slits that are removably fitted inside the separation cage, and the filter 22 has a diameter smaller at the bottom than at the top. At the same time, the protrusion 23 on the upper part of the filter 22 is rotatably connected to a recess provided on the upper part of the separation cage 21, so that the filter 22 is prevented from floating upward from the separation cage 21 during rotation.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When using the filter 22 of the separating basket having such a configuration, when lees accumulates inside the filter 22, the lees are pushed outside of the filter 22 by rotational centrifugal force, and the filter 22 is pushed against the inner wall of the separating basket 21. At the same time, part of the lees flows out from the slit of the filter 22 and accumulates between the filter 22 and the separation basket 21, so it takes a lot of force to rotate the filter 22 in order to remove the filter 22 from the separation basket 21. However, there were problems in that the filter could not be easily removed from the separation basket, and it was difficult to separate the lees from the removed filter.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the technical means of the present invention is to provide a removable cylinder between the separation basket and the filter on the outer periphery of the filter, and to attach the cylinder to the outside of the filter. The lower part of the filter that widens toward the end is contracted inward and is configured to be attached to the separation cage.

Effect The effect of this technical means is as follows.
In other words, since the tube is provided on the outer periphery of the filter, even if lees accumulates inside the filter, the filter will not come into close contact with the separation basket due to centrifugal force, and the lees will flow out through the slits in the filter, preventing the separation between the filter and the separation basket. Since there is no accumulation in between, when removing the filter from the separating basket, rotate the filter.
The filter can be easily rotated together with the tube on the outer periphery of the filter, and by lifting the filter upward, the filter and tube can be easily removed at the same time. Also, when the tube is removed from the filter, the bottom of the filter spreads outward, making it easy to remove the scum that has adhered to the filter. It can be removed.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric motor, which is attached to the inside of the main body 2 with screws 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a rotating shaft of the electric motor 1, the upper part of which is removably fitted into a fitting hole 6 of a substantially cylindrical separation cage 5 that separates the youth, and transmits the rotation of the electric motor 1. 7 is a filter that originally widens at the end and fits inside the separation cage 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes a cylinder that can be attached and removed from above the filter 7. When the cylinder is attached to the filter 7, the lower part of the filter 7 contracts and the cylinder 8 is positioned by a lower protrusion 9 of the filter 7. 10
is rotatably coupled and fixed to a recess 11 provided at the upper part of the separating cage 5 by a projection on the upper part of the cylinder 8. Also filter 7
A plurality of slits 12 are provided in the side wall of. 13 is a cutter provided at the bottom of the separation basket 5. Reference numeral 14 denotes a container placed on the main body 2, the lower part of which is bayonet-coupled and fixed to the main body 2. Reference numeral 15 denotes a lid, which is bayonet-coupled and fixed to the container 13. Reference numeral 16 is an input port formed integrally with the lid 15, and reference numeral 17 is a push rod for inputting materials.

Next, the operation and operation of the above-mentioned juicer will be explained. In FIG. 1, when the electric motor 1 is rotated, rotational force is transmitted from the rotating shaft 4 to the separation cage 5, causing it to rotate at high speed. Here, when the material is inputted from the input port 16 and pushed in with the push rod 17, the material is finely pulverized by the cutter 13 and sent to the filter 7, and the raw material passes through the many slits 12 of the filter 7. It is released from the separation cage 5 by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the separation cage 5, and is collected in the container 14. Next, when the filter 7 with the lees attached after squeezing the juice is taken out from the separating basket 5, when the filter 7 is rotated, the tube 8 is rotated at the same time due to contact resistance, and the protrusion 10 on the top of the tube 8 which is rotatably connected is separated. When removed from the recess 11 provided in the upper part of the cage 5 and lifting the filter 7 upward, the tube 8 is positioned by the lower projection 9 of the filter 7, so the filter 7 and the tube 8 are removed from the separation cage 5. If the tube 8 were not present, the filter 7 would spread outward due to the centrifugal force caused by the lees and would come into close contact with the inner wall of the separation basket 5, and a portion of the lees flowing out from the slit 12 of the filter 7 would accumulate between the filter 7 and the separation basket 5. Since the filter 7 drips and comes into close contact with the inner wall of the separation cage 5, even if you try to rotate it to remove the filter 7, a great deal of force is required and it cannot be rotated easily.
However, if the tube 8 is placed outside the filter 7, the filter 7 and the lees will not come into direct contact with the separation basket 5, so
The filter 7 can be easily rotated together with the cylinder 8, and the filter 7 and the cylinder 8 can be easily taken out. On the other hand, the filter 7 can be separated from the cylinder 8 with a small amount of force by pulling each other vertically since the two are fitted in the vertical direction. Further, when the cylinder 8 is separated from the filter 7, since the filter 7 is originally widened at the end, the lower part of the filter 7 automatically widens, and the lees can be easily separated from the filter 7. Furthermore, by providing the tube 8, the lees will not come into direct contact with the side wall of the separating basket 5, making it easier to clean the separating basket 5, and since the inner wall of the tube 8 is open both at the top and bottom, it is easy to clean.

Effects of the Invention The present invention comprises a cylindrical separation cage that is rotationally driven by an electric motor and has a cutter on the inner bottom, a widening filter that has a number of slits that are removably fitted into the inside of the separation cage, and a filter that can be detachably attached to the outer periphery of the filter. The lower part of the filter is contracted inward when the tube is installed, making it easy to attach and detach the separation basket and filter, and also to separate the lees from the filter and to clean the separation basket and tube. It is extremely effective in improving sexual performance.
