Description

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

Conventional technology A conventional lever of this kind is, for example, the
As shown in Publication No. 25598, it looked like Figure 11.

That is, a fixing plate 2 is attached to the outer surface of the main body 1 on which the container 3 and the container lid 4 are placed, and is pivoted at one end and moves freely, and the other end of the fixing plate 2 is attached to a protrusion 5 provided on the outside of the container lid 4. container 3 and container lid 4.
was fixed to main body 1.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a configuration, 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 fixing plate 2. Since the other side must be hooked, two operations are required: placing the container 5 and container lid 4 on the main body 1, and rotating the fixing plate 2. When removing it from the main body 1, the reverse operation was required, which was very troublesome. Furthermore, since the fixing plate 2 significantly protrudes from the outer surface of the main body 1, it is difficult to make the entire product slim and compact.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a juicer in which a container and a container lid can be automatically and easily attached to and removed from the main body, and the protrusion of the fixing plate from the main body is reduced to make the product slim and compact.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the technical means of the present invention is to provide a locking portion built in the main body, a part of which protrudes from the side wall of the main body, and the protruding portion provided on the container lid. a clamp that fits into the clamp, an inclined rib provided on the side wall of the main body of the clamp, the lower side of which is inclined obliquely toward the inside of the main body, a spring that applies pressure to the clamp outward, and an inclined rib of the clamp that is operated from the outside. The clamp is provided with an operating plate located below the clamp that moves up and down, thereby reducing the angle of inclination of the upper part of the inclined rib of the clamp.

Effect The effect of this technical means is as follows. That is, when a container or the like is mounted on the main body and then a container lid is mounted, the container lid first hits the upper surface of the locking portion of the clamp that protrudes outside the main body. Thereafter, when downward pressure is applied to the container lid, the lower surface of the container lid applies a component of force toward the inside of the main body to the locking portion of the clamp, so that the clamp, which had been biased outward by the spring, is displaced inward. When the container lid is further pressed downward and the locking part of the container lid reaches the position of the locking part of the clamp, the clamp is displaced outward by the spring and the locking part of the clamp fits into the locking part of the container lid. Then the container lid is fixed to the main body. Next, when removing the container lid from the main body, if you operate the operating plate, which partially protrudes outside the main body, from the outside, the operating plate will move upward within the main body as if pushing against the inclined ribs of the clamp, so the clamp will move inside the main body. The locking part of the container lid is released from the clamp and the container can be removed from the main body.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 10. In the figure, 11 is the main body 12
15 is 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 motor. ing. 17 is a substantially cylindrical comb-shaped filter that is detachably installed inside the centrifugal separation cage 16; 18 is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifugal separation cage 16;
Reference numeral 9 denotes a youth receptacle placed on the main body 12, and a youth outlet 20 is provided in a part of its lower part. Reference numeral 21 denotes a leaf spring attached to the lower surface of the youth container 19, which is pressed by a protrusion 22 when the youth container 19 is attached to the main body 12. 2
3 is removably fitted into the youth receiving container 19,
This is a container lid equipped with a material input port 24 in the center. Reference numeral 25 represents a push rod that is inserted into the material input port 24 and presses vegetables, fruits, etc. onto the cutter 18. Reference numeral 26 represents a bottom plate that covers the lower surface of the main body 12 and has legs 27 attached thereto. Reference numeral 28 denotes a plate-shaped clamp whose lower end is supported by a fixing part 29 provided at the inner bottom of the main body 12, and whose upper part is always urged toward the outside of the main body 12 by a spring 30. At the upper end of the clamp 28, a locking part 31 with an inclined upper surface is provided so as to protrude outward from the main body 12, and below the locking part 31, an inclined rib 32 whose lower side is inclined inward is provided inside the main body 12. 33 is a shaft that holds the operating plate 34 and screws 35
It is fixed to the main body 12 by. The operating plate 34 freely rotates about the shaft 33, and has a knob 36 protruding from the main body 12 attached to one end thereof, and the other end thereof is located at a lower portion of the inclined rib 32 of the clamp 28. . 37 is a lid extension extending downward from the container lid 23, and is provided with a hole 38 that fits into the locking portion 31 of the clamp 28.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, after attaching the container 19 and centrifugal cage 16 to the main body 12,
When the container lid 23 is attached, the lower end of the lid extension 37 comes into contact with the locking part 31 at the upper end of the clamp 28. When the container lid 23 is further pressed downward, as shown in FIG. 6, the clamp 28 pressed by the spring 30 receives an inward component of the main body 12 from the slope provided on the upper surface of the locking part 31, so that the clamp 28 The main body 12 is displaced inward. Further press the container lid 23 to release the lid extension 3.
When the hole 38 provided in 7 reaches the position of the locking part 31 of the clamp 28, the locking part 31 is closed by the force of the spring 30.
is fitted into the hole 38, and the clamp 28 is restored. As a result, the container lid 23 is fixed to the main body 12 as shown in FIG. That is, the container lid 23 can be fixed to the main body 12 by a single operation of attaching the container lid 23 to the main body 12 and pressing it downward. At this time, the leaf spring 21 attached to the lower surface of the container 19 is pressed by the protrusion 22 on the main body 12.

Next, when separating the container lid 23 from the main body 12, press the knob 36 downward with your finger, and the operating plate 34 will rotate around the shaft 33.
The portion of the clamp 28 located below the inclined rib 32 is displaced upward, and the clamp 28 is pushed inward by the height of the inclined rib 32, as shown in FIG. It comes off through the hole 38 provided in the extension part 37. Then, the leaf spring 2 pressed by the protrusion 22 of the main body 12 attached to the lower surface of the container 19
1 causes the container 19 and container lid 23 to rise, and even if you release your finger pressing the knob 36, the clamp 2
8 does not fit into the hole 38 of the lid extension 37, the container lid 23 can be separated from the main body 12 by lifting the container 19 and the container lid 23.
Here, when the operating plate 34 moves the clamp 28 via the inclined rib 32, the main body 12 of the clamp 28
The amount of inward displacement is determined by the upward displacement position of the operating plate 34. Therefore, if the clamps 28 are on the left and right sides of the main body 12 and the angle of inclination of the inclined ribs 32 is constant, the amount of displacement of the clamps 28 inward of the main body 12 will be different due to the difference in the amount of displacement of the left and right operating plates 34. Sometimes it goes too far inside, or sometimes it doesn't go all the way. In order to prevent this, there is no problem if a vertical part is provided on the upper side of the inclined rib 32 and the operating plate 34 is set to move up to this vertical part. When the operating plate 34 reaches this point, even if the external force that pushed the knob 36 is removed, there is no force to return the operating plate 34 to its original position, so the operating plate 34 that operates the inclined rib 32 moves downward. The clamp 28 does not move,
It remains displaced inward of the main body 12. However, as shown in FIG. 10A2, if the inclination angle a of the inclined surface 39 in the upper part of the inclined rib 32 is smaller than that in the lower part, even if the operating plate 34 moves along the inclined surface 39, the inclination angle a will be small. The amount of displacement of the clamp 28 inward to the main body 12 becomes smaller, and the clamp 28
It is possible to reduce the difference between the left and right displacement positions of the body 12 into the main body 12. In addition, since a downward component of force that pushes down the operating plate 34 is exerted due to the inclination angle a of the inclined surface 39, when the external force pushing the knob 36 is removed, the operating plate 34 rotates about the shaft 33 and the knob 36 automatically moves. It quickly moves upward and returns to its original position. Incidentally, instead of making the inclination angle a of the inclined surface 39 smaller than that of the lower part, a curved part 32a may be provided at the intersection of the upper part and the lower part of the inclined rib 32, resulting in the same effect as making the inclination angle a smaller than the lower part. It goes without saying that the effect obtained is included in one embodiment of the present invention (FIG. 10B).

Further, according to the configuration of the present invention, the clamp 28 is built into the main body 12 and the container lid 23 is fixed from the inside, so the number of parts protruding to the outside of the main body 12 is reduced, and the size of the parts can be reduced, making the overall product compact. It is possible to store the product in a space-saving manner. Furthermore, since there is no clamp on the outside of the main body 12, there is no chance of it getting caught on the user's clothes or the like and causing malfunction.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the adjuster of the present invention has a clamp built into the main body, a part of which protrudes from the side wall of the main body, and the protruding part fits into a locking part provided on the container lid. , a slanted rib provided on the side wall of the main body of the clamp, the lower side of which is inclined diagonally inward toward the inside of the main body; a spring that presses the clamp outwardly; By reducing the angle of inclination of the upper part of the inclined rib of the clamp, it is possible to fix the container lid to the main body by simply pressing it downward while mounting the container lid on the main body, and the operating plate can be moved from the outside of the main body. When the movement is made more, the difference between the amount of displacement of the left and right clamps into the main body can be reduced, and the fixation between the container lid and the main body can be released.Furthermore, by removing the external force that moves the movement plate, the movement plate can be moved. It can be automatically returned to its original position. In addition, not only can the entire product be made slim and compact, but there are also fewer irregularities on the outside of the main body, so there is no need to get caught, and there is no possibility of the product falling off the table. .
