BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a juicer for squeezing out juice from a material cut by a cutter by a centrifugal force generated by rotation of a centrifuge basket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional juicers of this type are Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-18442.
(A47J19) As shown in (A47J19), a clamp mechanism is provided that protrudes upward from the main body and urges outward, mounts the container on the main body, and then mounts the container lid on it, thereby opening the hole in the container lid. The clamp mechanism is engaged with the container to clamp and fix the container 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]

In the above-mentioned juicer, since the claw formed on the upper end of the clamp mechanism engages with the hole formed in the container lid from the inside of the main body to fix it, the external appearance of the hole of the container lid is improved. The claw of the clamp mechanism appears and appears. In addition, 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 a possibility that the operation may be performed without engagement, which is 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 provides a juicer which has a good appearance, allows the entire juicer to be compact, allows the main body and the container lid to be visually observed to be engaged, and allows the main body and the container lid to be securely engaged with each other. The challenge is to provide.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a main body containing an electric motor, a container placed on the main body, and a container lid for covering the upper surface of the container. In a container provided with a cutter on an inner bottom surface in the container and rotated by the electric motor, and a clamp mechanism urged in a direction in which the main body is always engaged with the container lid with a fulcrum, A fulcrum of the clamp mechanism is provided in a recess formed on the outer surface of the main body, and the clamp mechanism and the container lid are flush with each other when the clamp mechanism and the container lid are in an engaged state. It is characterized in that it is configured in.

[0006]

When the container lid is placed on the main body with the container sandwiched and the clamp mechanism provided in the recessed portion of 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. Becomes engaged and fixed. At this time, if the engagement state is incomplete, the clamp mechanism projects from the container lid and the main body surface, and the user can know that the engagement is incomplete.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 1 designates an electric motor 2 built-in, and a recess 3 is formed on the outer wall.
Is a main body made of synthetic resin formed at opposite positions, and a container 4 is detachably mounted on the main body 1. The container 4 has an upper opening and a lower surface to receive the produced juice. It forms an outlet (not shown) for taking out the juice. A cup (not shown) for receiving the juice flowing out from the discharge port is detachably installed on the main body 1. A resin container lid 6 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the container 4 so as to cover the upper opening of the container 4 and in which a substantially cylindrical insertion tube 5 is provided in a substantially central portion from the upper surface to the vicinity of a cutter described later. 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 indicates an engaged portion 8 of the container lid 6 on the upper portion.
To form a claw portion 10 that engages with the main body 1 and to rotate about a shaft 11 provided in the recessed portion 3 of the body 1, and to attach the claw portion 10 to the engaged portion 8 by a spring 12. The urging rod has a shape such that when it engages with the engaged portion 8, it fits with the rims of the recessed portion 3 and the concave portion 7 so that the surfaces are flush with each other. . These configurations are collectively referred to as the clamp mechanism.
That's 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 denotes a low speed drive connector which is concentric with the high speed drive connector (not shown) and rotates at a low speed.
The rotation of the output shaft 15 is decelerated and transmitted through the speed reducing mechanism such as 8, 19 and the belts 20, 21.

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

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

Centrifuge basket rotating by electric motor 2
Fruits and vegetables are loaded into the loading cylinder 5 from the loading cylinder 5, pushed into the vicinity of the cutter 24 by the loading rod 26, and the material is cut by rotating the cutter 24 provided in the centrifuge basket 22. The cut material becomes a grater and adheres to the inside of the filter 25 by the centrifugal force of the rotating centrifugal separation basket 22. The adhered material rises upward 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 to be separated into the centrifuge basket.
22 Released to the outside. The released juice collects in the container 4 and enters the cup through the outlet.

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

In the above embodiment, the clamp mechanism 13
Although the color of the rod 9 is not specified, 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, the engagement state of the clamp mechanism 13 can be better understood. , Safer.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, 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, so that the main body and the container lid are securely engaged with each other. The operation can be performed with the effect that safety is high.
