Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a juicer in which a lees receiver is provided with a pressing member for squeezing the lees stored therein.

A juicer generally crushes materials such as vegetables and fruits in a centrifugal separation area, and the juice part passes through a peripheral wall filter in the separation area and is discharged to the juice outflow path, while the lees part goes over the upper opening edge of the separation area. The lees tray is configured to be discharged inward.

However, in conventional juicers, because the rotation of the separation zone is extremely high, the crushed and granulated material rises along the peripheral filter of the separation zone in a very short period of time, and before it is sufficiently dehydrated. However, the lees receiver is discharged inward from the upper opening edge of the separation area, which has the disadvantage that a high squeezing rate cannot be obtained.

Also, in order to be able to make a large amount of juice at once, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the lees tray.
There was also the drawback that the juicer itself became larger.

This idea was devised in consideration of the above points, and its purpose was to increase the squeezing rate by squeezing the lees stored inside the lees receiver once again, without increasing the capacity of the lees receiver. The objective is to provide a small-sized juicer that can produce a large amount of juice at one time.

The configuration of this invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

First, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

The figure shows a partial cross section of the juicer; 1 is the base;
Reference numeral 2 denotes a main body case that is detachably attached to the base 1, and the main body case 2 is composed of a container portion 3 and a case lid 4 that closes an upper opening of the container portion 3.

The base 1 has a juice tray 5 on the left side in the figure, and the base 1
A motor 6 is housed inside.

The rotating shaft 6a of the motor 6 protrudes from the upper surface of the base 1,
A coupling 7 is fixed to the shaft end.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes a centrifugal separation cage housed in the container part 3, and this separation area 8 is composed of a coupling 7 and a peripheral wall filter 10 in the shape of a mortar, which is connected above a detachable cutter 9. ing.

A grater 11 is provided on the inner bottom surface of each cutter 9, and a material 13 is passed through a material input tube 12 integrally formed on the case lid 4.
and push rod 1 to the grater 11 which rotates at high speed.
Press 4 to crush it.

Inside the container part 3 is a juice receiver 1 surrounding a centrifugal basket 8.
5 is provided, and the second juice receiver 15 is communicated with a juice outlet passage 16.

The Schunis outflow path 16 has a bottom that is inclined downwardly toward the outside, and its lowest end is the juice outflow port 17.
The outlet 17 of the juice receiver is located above the stand 5.

The juice portion a discharged from the peripheral wall filter 10 with the separation capacity 8 into the juice receiver 15 is passed through the juice outlet passage 16 and from the juice outlet 17 to the juice receiver 5.
The water is allowed to flow out into a bottle 18 placed on the bottle 18.

Further, a lees receiver 19 is integrally formed on the juice outflow path 16 in the container portion 3.

This lees receiver 19 stores the lees discharged from the upper opening edge of the peripheral wall filter 10 with a separation capacity of 8.
A large number of small holes 20 .

Further, a guide hole 21 is provided in a portion of the case lid 4 facing the bottom plate 19 a, and the peripheral edge of the guide hole 21 on the back surface of the case lid 4 is made to protrude in a cylindrical shape. The portion 22 is supported so as to be movable up and down.

The pressing member A has a pressing handle 23 attached to the upper end of the shaft part 22 and a press plate 24 as a pressing part attached to the lower end of the coaxial part 22.
A compression coil spring 25 as a holding means inserted between the press plate 24 and the press plate 24 is always urged upward, and the press plate 24 is brought into contact with the cylindrical protrusion 21 a on the periphery of the guide hole 21 .

In the juicer configured as described above, materials such as vegetables and fruits input from the material input cylinder 12 are crushed in the centrifugal separation basket 8, and the juice portion a is transferred to the peripheral wall filter 1.
0 and is discharged to the juice receiver 15 , and further passes through the juice outlet passage 16 and flows out from the outlet 17 into the bolt 18 .

Further, the lees in the separation capacity 8 cross over the upper opening edge of the peripheral wall filter 10 and are discharged into the lees receiver 19.

Therefore, when the pressing handle 23 of the pressing member A is pushed in from above, the press plate 24 descends against the spring 25, pressing the lees stored in the makeup tray 19 against the bottom plate 19a, and removing the lees. You will be able to squeeze the parts.

In this way, the juice remaining in the lees is squeezed out again in the lees receiver 19, and the small holes 20...
... flows down into the juice outflow path 16, and further flows out into the bolt 18 through the outflow port 17.

Furthermore, when the pressure on the pressing handle 23 is released, the pressing member A
is returned upward by the spring 25 and is again held at position 1 in FIG.

The lees in the lees receiver 19, which has been sufficiently dehydrated, can be disposed of outside by removing the case lid 4.

Therefore, according to this juicer, a high squeezing rate can be obtained by squeezing the lees stored in the lees receiver 19 once again by the pressing member A, and moreover, the lees that has been squeezed has a volume of - Therefore, a large amount of juice can be made at one time without increasing the capacity of the lees receiver 19.

In other words, the capacity of the lees receiver 19 can be reduced, and the juicer itself can be made smaller.

Next, FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the case lid 4 is modified.
The upper part of the case lid 4 is lowered one step further, and the cylindrical protrusion 21a is made to protrude toward the upper surface side of the case lid 4.

Then, by doing this, the press plate 23 of the pressing member A
is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the case lid 4 by the spring 25. Therefore, the lees scattered from the separation capacity 8 will not accumulate on the upper surface side of the press plate 24, and as a result, the lees from the separation capacity 8 will not accumulate on the upper surface side of the press plate 24. Most of the lees will be stored in the lees receiver 19, and by squeezing this with the squeezing member A, there is an effect that a higher squeezing rate can be obtained.

Further, FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the press plate 24 is modified.
The edge 24a is configured to be inclined upwardly so that the edge 24a comes into close contact with the inner surface of the case lid 4 by means of a spring 25.

Therefore, in this case as well, the lees will not accumulate on the upper surface of the press plate 23, as in the modification shown in FIG. Since there are no holes, the appearance is better than that shown in FIG.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show the bottom plate 19a of the lees receiver 19.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion extending from the lees receiver 19 to the juice outlet path 16, and FIG. 5 is a view of the same portion as viewed from below.

This is done by slanting both sides of the bottom plate 19a so that the central part is the lowest, and having a large number of small holes 20 in the lowest part.
...is formed.

In this way, the juice that oozes out when the lees are separated by the pressing member A in the lees receiver 19 will gather at the lowest part in the center and flow down from the small holes 20, and the lees will be absorbed into the lees. The juice can efficiently flow down from the receiver 19 to the juice outlet path 16.

Next, FIG. 6 shows that the case lid 4 is modified as shown in FIG.
9 A small hole 20 is placed at the lower end of the side plate that connects to the lowest part of a.
This shows an example in which...

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the same effect as the embodiment shown in FIG.
By forming . . . , the same effects as in the embodiments shown in FIGS.

In addition, FIGS. 7 to 8 show the bottom plate 19a of the lees receiver 19.
This shows an embodiment in which the bottom plate 19a is detachable and can be replaced with another bottom plate 19a that does not have the small holes 20.

That is, since the bottom plate 19a shown in FIG. 7 has 20 small holes, by using this, the original effect of this device can be achieved, that is, the lees in the lees receiver 19 is squeezed again to increase the squeezing rate. In addition to the effect of increasing juice consumption, there is also the convenience of being able to use the juicer in the same way as a conventional juicer by using the bottom plate 19b shown in FIG.

In other words, if the bottom plate 19 has small holes 20, they may become clogged with dregs and become difficult to clean, so they must be removed. In addition to being easy to clean, the bottom plate 19 b has no small holes 20 and is easy to clean, except when a particularly high drawing rate is desired.
This is what allows you to use it.

In this embodiment, since the case lid 4 has the same shape as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the same effects as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 can also be obtained.

Next, FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which a filter 26 formed of fine wire mesh or the like is removably attached below the bottom plate 19a of the lees receiver 19.
By passing the juice that has passed through the filter 26 through a finer mesh filter 26, coarse particles are removed from the bolt 18.
It has the advantage of being able to be mixed into

In addition, by using the filter 26 as shown in No. 2, it is possible to make the small holes 20 relatively large, and if the small holes 20 are made large, they will be clogged with dregs. It also becomes easier to clean.

As explained above based on various embodiments, the juicer of this invention can achieve the desired results, such as increasing the squeezing rate and reducing the capacity of the lees receiver, thereby making the juicer itself more compact. Able to achieve purpose.
