Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a juicer that squeezes juice using a centrifugal basket that rotates at high speed and is equipped with a filter.By improving the structure of the cutter and the centrifugal basket, the present invention is capable of extracting juice from leafy vegetables, etc. In addition to making it easier to cut, each part is easier to clean, and the same centrifugal cage can function as a mixer.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric motor, which is attached to the main body 2 with screws 3. 4 is the shaft of the electric motor 1, and a rotation transmission joint 6 is fixed to the upper part of the shaft, and 08 is adapted to fit with the rotation transmission joint 6 and transmit the rotation of the electric motor 1 to the shaft 7.A lower plate 8' is fixed to the shaft 4. The cutter is removably fitted to the shaft 7. 9 has no holes in the side wall and is vertically 2
It is an inverted conical centrifugal separation cage formed in stages, and has an overall shape like a mixer top. An insert fitting 1o is integrally molded at the center bottom of the cage, and a main bearing 11 is press-fitted into the insert fitting 1o. and supports the shaft 7.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rotation transmission joint that rotates around the shaft 4 through a bearing 13, and its rotation is obtained by changing the speed of the rotation of the shaft 4 through the speed change mechanism 14.

3-beam 15 is a rotation transmission joint installed at the bottom of centrifugal separator 9.
It is fitted with the rotation transmission joint 12 and rotates the centrifugal separation lever 9. Reference numeral 16 denotes a filter made of an elastic material such as resin, which fits into the inner surface of the centrifugal lever 9, and the side wall thereof has a large number of vertical slits 16' for force holes.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a container placed on the main body 2, and a container lid 19 having an input port 18 for guiding vegetables and fruits to the cutter 8 is placed on the upper opening of the container. 2o is a push rod for inserting materials. Reference numeral 21 is a tip facing the outlet 17' of the container 1 to receive the juice.

Next, the operation and operation of the juicer will be explained.

Attach the container 17 and the centrifugation lever 9 to the main body 2, fit the filter 16 to the centrifugation lever 9, fit the cutter 8 to the shaft 7, place the container lid 19 on the container 17, and attach the tip 21 to the main body. Place it on 2. A switch (not shown) is turned on to supply electric power to the electric motor 1 and rotate the cutter 8 and the centrifugal separator 9. In this example, centrifugation and 9
is about 360 rpm, cutter 8 is about 9000 rpm
Rotate. Here, when materials such as vegetables and fruits are input through the input port 18 and pushed in with the push rod 20, the materials are transferred to the cutter 8.
It is crushed into fine pieces and sent to the filter 16. Among the materials accumulated inside the filter 16, the solid content remains as squeezed waste inside the filter 16, and the juice content is guided to the centrifugal tube 9 through the slit 16'. The juice that has reached the centrifugal tube 9 is discharged from the centrifugal tube 9 by centrifugal force, passes through a container 17, and accumulates in a pot 21.

In a conventional juicer that collects cut material in a centrifugal basket and squeezes juice, the cutter 8 is fixed to the centrifugal cage 9 and rotates as a unit, and the rotation speed is about 300 rpm.
~4000 rpm. Depending on the type of juice material, especially leaf vegetables, carrots, etc., the material cannot be easily cut by the cutting blade 8', so there is a drawback that a very large force is required to push the material with the push rod 20. . This is because the rotational speed of the cutter 8 is low, resulting in poor sharpness, and the cutting edge of the cutting blade 8' tends to become tangled with leafy vegetables, resulting in a decrease in sharpness. However, in the conventional configuration, when the rotation speed is increased, the centrifugal separation and the vibration of the entire product are severe due to squeezing scum and unbalance of individual parts, which causes problems in the durability of each part. In this embodiment, the cutter 8 and the centrifugal separator 9 are rotated independently by the speed change mechanism 14, so that the centrifugal separator 9, which is likely to cause imbalance due to squeezing residue, is rotated at the same rotation speed as in the conventional case. Rotate 8 at higher speed. Therefore, the cutting blade 8' has good sharpness, and materials such as leafy vegetables and carrots do not get entangled with the cutting edge, so that the cutting blade 8' can be easily cut without degrading the sharpness. A small force is sufficient to force the material.

Next, when you finish squeezing the juice and disposing of the squeezed residue,
The container lid 19 is removed from the container 17, the centrifugation lever 9 is taken out, the filter 16 is taken out from the centrifugation lever 9 along with the squeezed residue, and the cutter 8 is removed from the shaft 7.

Since the centrifuge was fixed to page 9, the bottom of page 6 of page 9 had a complicated shape and was difficult to clean. Since the cutting edge was 8', there was a risk of cutting one's hand unless it was carefully washed with a brush, spatula, etc. However, in this embodiment, since the cutter 8 can be removed from the centrifugal separation lever 9, it is very easy to clean and there is no danger of cutting one's hand. In this embodiment, the centrifugal separation lever 9 is made of a non-porous wall, and the filter 16 is made of slits 16' instead of holes, so that it is easy to dispose of squeezing waste and to wash it. In addition, by fitting the cutter 22 for another mixer onto the shaft 7, a mixer that can make mixed juice, crush soup stock, etc.
become. In this case, by operating a switch (not shown) and the speed change mechanism 14, the cutter 22 is rotated at approximately 900 rpm, and the centrifugal separator 9 is not rotated.

Conventional juicers have a dedicated mixer tip separate from the centrifuge, which is time-consuming and requires extra space as it has to be replaced. However, in this embodiment, since the centrifugal separators 71, . In addition, the material is put in through the input port 18 and pulverized and stirred, and the material is centrifuged in advance or placed in a container with a lid (9) that does not have an input port (
Any method may be used, such as a method in which a material (not shown) is placed and crushed and stirred. Furthermore, depending on the user's preference, filter 1
By attaching 6 and rotating the centrifuge and 9 (as in the case of a juicer), it is also possible to extract only the liquid. , leafy vegetables, etc. can be easily cut. By making the cutter detachable, a juicer that is easy to clean and use can be obtained, and by replacing the cutter with a cutter for a mixer, a juicer that can easily function as a mixer can be provided.
