Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention 8A relates to a juicer, and relates to a structure in which a cutting blade cuts and crushes the material to be cooked, and a squeezing section squeezes the juice.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, this type of juicer is known as, for example, the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 45-82604.
A cutter with a cutting blade is disposed at the inner bottom of a centrifugal separation basket as described in the publication, and the material to be cooked that is input through the input port is cut and crushed by the rotating cutter.
A configuration was adopted in which the solid content of the dregs was separated from the juice by centrifugation. This conventional centrifugal juicer has drawbacks such as air bubbles entering the juice, which easily destroys vitamins, and the rise of air bubbles causing the juice to separate into two layers. Furthermore, in conventional centrifugal juicers, the rotation speed of the centrifugal separation corner is set at around 10,000 times/minute to enhance the juice extraction effect, which has the disadvantage that vibration and noise are easily generated due to imbalance due to the adhesion of pomace residue. had.

For this purpose, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-72813, a case body surrounds a rotary body having a spiral cutting and crushing part and a pressing part continuous to the cutting and crushing part. The material to be cooked that is inputted from the input port of the case body is cut by the rotation of the rotary body, the material is cut and crushed in the crushing section, and sent to the pressing section. A juicer has been developed that is configured to squeeze This kind of compression squeezer juicer prevents air bubbles from getting mixed into the juice, and the juice does not separate, and the vibration and noise are low, but since the material to be cooked is gradually crushed, Processing time is long (,
A force is required to crush the ingredients, and in particular, if the input area for the ingredients to be cooked is expanded to increase the amount of ingredients supplied and shorten the processing time, the torque of the electric motor needs to be increased, which can be expensive. It has some drawbacks.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a juicer that can shorten the processing time for juice processing of materials to be cooked, prevents air bubbles from being mixed into the juice, and has extremely low vibration and noise.

'Narrowly formed and further bearing I! The gap (gl) between 5m and the cutter (the central plane part 51 of the four bells) is the gap (!I4) between the inner surface of the lid body 64) and the top surface of the drawing wing part (41) of the rotating body (g). It is more narrowly formed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Place the container (c) inserted into the space between the case holder part (4) of the base (1) and the case body (juice outflow chamber (13) and pomace reservoir part 01) into the case. pedestal part (
4) It is placed on top to receive the juice flowing down from the juice outlet C331.

Next, when the electric motor (2) is driven by a switch operation, the belt (9) suspended between the drive shaft (5) second pulley (6) and the pulley (8) provided on the rotary shaft (7) rotates the rotary shaft. 7
) is rotated at a reduced speed of, for example, 2,000 to 3,000 times per minute.

In this state, put the ingredients to be cooked through the input port (to) and press the push rod 6. )K to press the material to be cooked against the cutter 6191.

At this time, the rotary body 06) is rotated by the coupling between the rotary shaft (7) and the coupling part (to), and the cutter (49) is also rotated together with the rotary body (to), and the material to be cooked is is cut and crushed by the cutting blade (53) of the cutter (49).The material cut and crushed by this cutting blade (52) is shaped so that the cutting blade (521) sends it out in the outer circumferential direction. Since it is formed with a radial delay angle, it is pushed out in the outer circumferential direction and sent between the rotating body (G) and the surrounding part (14) of the case body (131. At this time, the helical blade of the rotating body (G) (40) Since the gap (!I4) between the upper surface of the drawing wing (43) and the inner surface of the lid body hammer extending from the drawing wing (43) is narrow, the material is reliably connected to the surrounding part I at this drawing wing (4). The material fed between the surrounding part I and the rotating body is pressed against the surrounding part α in the squeezing part (AI), and is separated into fruit juice and solids. The fruit juice is separated and transferred downward by the spiral groove between the spiral blades 410, and the spiral groove (6) is gradually shallower downward. The juice is filtered by the small hole (c) of the filter (a) and flows into the juice outflow chamber from the juice outflow part (19).

And the pressure on both sides of the juice outlet part is rib (a) (2
1) is formed, so when the material is transferred downward in layers by the rotation of the rotating body (to), the material is caught on the ribs on the upstream side in the rotational direction of the rotating body (to), and the movement of the material is is suppressed, the squeezing force against the material becomes large, the extraction and separation of fruit juice is promoted, and furthermore, the movement of the solid residue is suppressed again at the ribs Cυ on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the rotating body (to).
The filter (26) K is pressed, and the fruit juice flows into the juice outflow chamber (toward) through the small hole C51 of the filter holder (LCJ) without being impregnated with solid residue again. The materials are sequentially squeezed and fed downward, and the separated and extracted juice is filtered through the filter (26) at the juice outflow section α1 as shown by the arrow in Figure 1, and then sent to the juice outflow chamber (c). The juice is dripped into the container from the juice outlet (2).

In addition, the juice separated from the material pressed against the surrounding area by the squeezing part αυ between the rotating bodies flows downward and reaches the bottom surface αQ of the cooking chamber.
The fruit juice flowing between the bottom surface of the rotating body (to) is filtered by the filter (5) on the bottom surface (lEe) of the cooking chamber a$,
The juice drips into the recessed step and flows into the juice outflow chamber.

In addition, when the material to be cooked is transferred downward by the rotation of the rotating body (to) and reaches the part 04 where there is no spiral blade 0Q, most of the fruit juice is separated and becomes pomace 1, and the pomace discharge section ( ) to the pomace reservoir 01).

The flow velocity of the solid waste toward the center is reduced in the recesses (47) on the lower surface of the rotor (G), and the ribs (46) that partition each recess (4?) decrease in the direction of rotation of the rotor. Because it has a delay angle, the dross is not sent out in the outer circumferential direction between the rotating bodies, but is sent out from the discharge opening (c), and the dross is sent out to the rotating body (toward).
K residue does not accumulate between the bottom surface of the cooking chamber (15) and the bottom surface tto of the cooking chamber (15).

In addition, the fruit juice and residue that have entered between the lower surface of the rotating body (to) and the bottom surface (16) of the cooking chamber α9 are discharged outward from the cooking chamber by the cylindrical portion α barrel of the case body αJ. There is no.

In the above embodiment, although the cooking chamber (surrounding part Q4 of 151) and the bottom surface IQ (juice outflow part (11) of the case body α3 were formed, it is not necessarily necessary to form the juice outflow member in the bottom face, and the surrounding part α411C The juice outlet member to be formed is not limited to one location, but may be formed at multiple locations.

Further, in the above embodiment, the juice outflow chamber (c) and the pomace reservoir part e11) were integrally formed on the case body σ mark, but they may be formed separately, and the juice outflow chamber (c) and the pomace reservoir part Gη The partition wall 04 that partitions the case body (13) may not be formed integrally with the lid body (to),
Alternatively, the case body (13) and the lid body (to) may protrude from each other and abut against each other.

In addition, a spiral groove (a portion where 40 is not formed) is provided at the bottom of the rotating body), and a pomace discharge portion (
Although we have explained the structure in which the rotating body (to) is formed, it is not limited to this structure.
Q may be formed, and the pomace discharge part (to) may be located below the cutter (49) provided on the upper surface of the rotating body □□□ and below the upper level of the juice outflow part ←→.

Furthermore, the cutter (49) can be removably provided on the upper surface of the rotating body (to).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the rotating body is provided with a cutter having a cutting blade on its upper surface and has a spiral squeezing portion formed on its circumferential surface, and is surrounded by the surrounding portion of the case body so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The material to be cooked that has been cut and crushed with the cutting blade of the cutter is squeezed in the squeezing section, and there is no air bubbles mixed into the juice, nutrients such as vitamins are not destroyed, and the juice component does not separate. There is little vibration and noise, and since the material to be cooked that has been cut and crushed by the cutter is squeezed by the squeezing part, the torque required for the crushing force by the rotating body can be reduced, and it can be obtained at low cost.

In addition, by attaching a filter to the juice outflow part of the cooking chamber of the case body and forming a juice outflow chamber outside the cooking chamber, cleaning of the case body becomes easy, and there is also a juice outflow part on the bottom of the cooking chamber. By forming this, the juice can be quickly drained, and the juice separation efficiency can be increased without the juice content being impregnated with solid residue again.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the pomace discharge part is formed below the upper level of the juice outflow part of the case body.
The juice is discharged from the cooking chamber of the case body, and it is less likely to remain between the squeezing part and the surrounding part or to get between the lower surface of the rotating body and the bottom of the cooking chamber, so that juice processing can be done smoothly. It will be done.

Furthermore, since the pomace reservoir is surrounded by a partition wall formed at least 10,000 times between the case body and the lid, the pomace remains will not get mixed into the juice outlet, and cleaning can be facilitated. be.
