Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a juicer for crushing vegetables or fruits and centrifuging juice.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIG. 11, a juicer of this type includes a main body 2 having a built-in electric motor 1 and a container 3 which is detachably mounted on the main body 2. Has a separation cage 5 which is rotated by being coupled to the rotation shaft 4 of the electric motor 1. Inside the separation cage 5, a filter 7 having a large number of thin slits 6 is provided, and an inner bottom portion is provided with an upper surface. A plate-shaped cutter 9 having a blade 8 is fixed, and a material is supplied onto the cutter 9 from an input port 11 provided in a container lid 10 that covers the upper opening of the container 3, and the material is supplied by a pushing rod 12 to the cutter. It is configured to be pressed against the 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional juicer, the crushed material of the material crushed by the cutter 9 scatters to the side of the cutter 9 and adheres to the inside of the filter 7 as shown in FIG. A layer W is formed. Then, the juice passes through the layer W of the crushed material and the slit 6 of the filter 7, passes between the separation basket 5 and the filter 7, and is discharged to the container 3.

At this time, if the width of the slit 6 of the filter 7 is wide, the crushed material enters the slit 6, the place where the juice liquid flows disappears, the filter 7 does not serve as a filter, and the juice liquid is not separated. Therefore, the width of the slit 6 may not be so narrow due to processing, and thus the slit 6 is formed with a width of about 0.5 mm. Therefore, until the layer W of pulverized material is formed inside the filter 7, the pulverized material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the slit 6 of the filter 7 together with the juice liquid, and as a result, the fibrous material in the juice liquid is It was impossible even if I wanted to drink clear juice with a high amount of fiber and low fiber content. Moreover, the fibrous material of the crushed material is caught in the slit 6 of the filter 7, the layer W of the crushed material attached to the inside of the filter 7 is difficult to separate after the use, and the cleaning of the crushed material caught in the slit 6 is complicated. There was a problem of becoming.

The juicer of the present invention solves such a problem, and it is possible to separately prepare juice with a low fiber content and juice with a certain amount of fiber content according to preference, and facilitate disposing of the crushed product after use. The purpose is to

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the juicer of the present invention has an inner basket detachably attached to the inside of a separation basket in which a step portion that spreads outward is formed on an upper portion of a cylindrical inner wall. The inner basket is composed of a large number of ribs, each of which has a groove on which juice flows, and which is connected to the outer basket by annular ribs facing outwardly at the step of the separation basket at substantially equal intervals. A position where a filter is formed in the gap between the inner wall and the rib, and a recess formed in the step of the inner wall of the separation basket in the vertical direction at the same interval as the rib of the inner basket overlaps with the rib while forming a filter in the gap. The inner basket is fitted so as to be freely switchable between the rib and a position exposed between the ribs.

Action With this configuration, the crushed material between the ribs does not enter the juice liquid at the position where the recess formed in the step of the inner wall of the separation basket overlaps with the rib, so juice with less fibrous material can be formed, and the recess At the position where is between the ribs, the crushed material between the ribs enters the juice liquid to some extent, and as a result, juice with some fiber in the juice liquid is obtained and As a result, the number of ribs is small and the crushed material attached to the inner basket is easy to separate and easy to clean.

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. In the figure, 13 is an electric motor built in a main body 14, and a container 15 is detachably mounted on the main body 14,
The container 15 has a cylindrical separation basket 17 which is rotated by being coupled to the rotary shaft 16 of the electric motor 13, and a step portion 18 which spreads outward is provided on an upper part of an inner wall of the separation basket 17. This step
Recesses 19 are formed in the vertical direction 18 at substantially equal intervals.
An inner cage 20 is detachably fitted inside the separation cage 17. The inner basket 20 has a groove 21 on the outside through which the juice liquid flows.
A plurality of ribs 22 that form the
An annular flange portion 23 facing outwardly facing the step portion 18 of the 17 is provided at substantially equal intervals and connected to the recesses 19 in the upper part of the inner wall of the separation basket 17. A filter is formed by a gap 24 between the rib 22 and the inner wall of the separation basket 17. The gap 24 is a separation basket for the rib 22.
Although it can be easily formed by providing a protrusion at a portion facing the 17, it is possible to use a gap that is naturally formed due to dimensional accuracy in processing without providing the protrusion. The separation basket 17 and the inner basket 20 are separated from the protrusion 25 provided on the inner basket 20 and the separation basket.
A bayonet connection can be made between the cutout portion 26 provided in 17 and the cutout portion 26. Assuming that four bayonet connecting parts of this separation basket 17 are provided at every 90 ° and 30 ribs are provided at every 12 ° at the inner basket 20, the bayonet connection between the separation basket 17 and the inner basket 20 will be performed.
When the recess 19 provided in the step 18 on the upper part of the inner wall of the separation basket 17 is overlapped with the rib 22 by changing 90 ° (FIGS. 4 to 6), the recess 19 is divided into the rib 22 and the rib 22. It is possible to switch to the case of exposing in time (FIGS. 7 to 9). In addition to the above setting, if there are 36 ribs in the inner basket 19 every 10 °, the recesses 19 provided in the step 18 on the upper part of the separation basket 17 are set at 8 places every 45 ° and the inner basket 20 By changing the connection between the separation cage 17 and 45 °, the recess 19 on the inner wall of the separation cage 17 becomes
It is possible to switch between the case where the ribs 22 are placed between the ribs 22 of the inner cage 20 and the case where the recesses 19 and the ribs 22 of the inner wall of the separation cage 17 are overlapped and covered. In short, the step 18 at the upper part of the inner wall of the separation basket 17
Switching between the case where the recessed part 19 provided in the inner basket 20 comes between the ribs 22 and the ribs 22 of the inner basket 20 and the case where the recessed part 19 and the ribs 22 provided in the step 18 at the upper part of the inner wall of the separation basket 17 overlap each other. However, the means for doing so is not particularly limited.

27 is a cutter fixed to the inner bottom of the separation basket 17, a blade 28 is provided on the upper surface, and the cutter 27 is provided with a material from an input port 30 provided in a container lid 29 that covers the upper opening of the container 15. It is configured so that the material can be supplied onto the cutter 27 and pressed against the cutter 27 by the push rod 31.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. First, when making clear juice, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the inner basket 20 is separated so that the ribs 22 of the inner basket 20 and the recesses 19 provided in the step 18 of the separation basket 17 overlap. Fit inside 17 inside. FIG. 4 is a partial front view showing the fitted state of the separation basket and the inner basket when the juice juice of the present invention is made clear. FIG. 5 shows a sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. B
In the −B cross section, since the recess 19 is not located between the ribs of the inner basket, there is no route for the juice liquid to flow out. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. In the C-C cross section, since the concave portion 19 is located so as to overlap the ribs, as shown in FIG. 6, only a clear juice liquid flows out, and the juice liquid flows out through the path indicated by the arrow. Then, the separation basket 17 is connected to the rotary shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 protruding into the container 15, and the container lid 29 is closed to close the electric motor 13
When the material is fed through the feeding port 30 and pushed by the pushing rod 31, the blade 28 of the cutter 27 provided on the inner bottom of the separation basket 17
The material is crushed by. The crushed material flies to the side of the cutter 27,
As shown in FIG. 10, it adheres to the inner walls of the inner basket 20 and the separation basket 17 to form a layer W'of crushed material. And the juice is
The layer W'of the crushed material passes through the gap 24 between the inner basket 2 and the separation basket 17, and is provided on the outer side of the rib 22 of the inner basket 20 and the separation basket.
Pass through the recess 19 provided in the stepped portion 18 of the 17 and the container 15 from the upper end.
Is released to. The crushed material between the ribs 22 and 22 is stopped between the step portion 18 of the separation basket 17 and the flange portion 23 of the inner basket 20 and is not discharged to the outside. Therefore, in this case, a clear juice liquid can be obtained without mixing fibers.

Next, when making juice with a certain amount of fiber, as shown in Figs. 7 to 9, between the ribs 22 and 22 of the inner basket 19,
The inner basket so that the recess 19 provided in the step 18 of the separation basket 17 comes
19 is fitted inside the separation basket 17 and the separation basket 17 is set and the ingredients are charged through the charging port 30 to make juice as in the case of making clear juice. FIG. 7 is a partial front view showing the fitted state of the separation basket and the inner basket when the juice liquid of the juicer of the present invention containing a certain amount of fiber is prepared. D of FIG.
FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the -D cross section. In the D-D cross section, the concave portion 19 is located between the ribs of the inner basket,
There is a path for the juice liquid containing fiber to flow out, and the juice liquid flows out through the path indicated by the arrow. Also, E in FIG.
FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the -E cross section. Since the recessed portion 19 is not located in the EE cross section, there is no gap for fiber to pass through as shown in FIG. 9, so that only the clear juice liquid flows out, and the clear juice liquid flows through the path indicated by the arrow. Outflow. In this way, a part of the pulverized material between the ribs 22 and 22 passes through the concave portion 19 in the step portion 18 of the separation basket 17, and then passes through the groove portion 21 provided outside the rib 22 of the inner basket 20. The juice liquid is discharged from the upper end of the separation basket 17 into the container 15.

In this case, the extent to which the fiber is mixed in the juice liquid can be arbitrarily determined by the depth of the recess 19.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, even if the number of the ribs 22 of the inner basket 20 in the juicer of the present invention is half that of the filter 7 of the conventional juicer, the gap 24 (slit 6 in the conventional juicer) is reduced. The number can be the same (at points A to D),
The amount of pure liquid component excluding fiber in the juice liquid can be the same as that of a conventional juicer.

Next, after use, the container lid 29 is opened, and the inner basket 20 is removed from the separation basket 17. In this case, the crushed material layer W'is a large number of ribs of the inner basket 20.
22 and the separation basket 17 are adhered to each other, but when the inner basket 20 is removed, the layer W ′ of the crushed material is almost adhered to the rib 22 of the inner basket 20 and comes off. Then, after that, the layer W'of the crushed material attached to the inner basket 20 is treated. In this case, the materials of mandarin orange, pineapple, and tomato sauce have a strong adhesive force and are difficult to remove. Rib 22 of inner basket 20 as shown in FIG.
When the pitch is doubled (the number of ribs is half), the adhesive force of the layer W ′ of the ground material is halved. Therefore, when the inner basket 20 is shaken vigorously, the adhering crushed material layer W'is peeled off and removed so that the crushed material layer not adhering to the ribs 22 of the inner cage 20 is pulled as it moves. After that, even if the separation cage 17 is fitted again and the operation is performed, since the layer of the pulverized material is hardly adhered, the vibration does not occur. In addition, the inner basket 20 can be easily washed with water. Especially rib 22
Since the distance between the rib 22 and the rib 22 is large, it can be easily washed by moving the inner basket 20 in the water tub.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the above description, the juicer of the present invention has the following features.

(1) Since a filter is formed between the inner wall of the separation basket and the ribs of the inner basket, it is possible to easily set it in processing even if the gap is 0.5 mm or less, and as a result, there is little mixing of fiber in the juice liquid. A clear juice liquid can be obtained, and by making the recesses provided on the steps of the separation basket between the ribs of the inner basket, it is possible to make juice with a certain amount of fibrous content. You can

(2) Even if the number of ribs is less than the conventional juicer,
Since it is possible to form two filter gaps for one rib, it is possible to easily separate the crushed product from the inner basket without lowering the juice rate, and because the rib interval is wide, Cleaning the inner basket is extremely easy.
