Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a juicer, and relates to a structure in which a cutting blade cuts and crushes a 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 the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 45-32604
A cutter with a cutting blade is disposed at the inner bottom of a centrifugal separation basket as described in the above publication, and the rotating cutter cuts the kK'fA material fed through the input port.
It was configured to crush and centrifugally separate the juice (solids from the dregs) by rotating one corner of the centrifuge. This traditional centrifugal juicer introduces air bubbles into the juice.
It had drawbacks such as vitamins being easily destroyed and the juice separating into two layers due to the rise of air bubbles. Furthermore, in conventional centrifugal juicers, the rotation speed of the centrifugal basket is increased to 10,000 to increase the juice extraction effect.
Since the rate is about 10 times per minute, it had the disadvantage that vibration and noise were easily generated due to imbalance due to the adhesion of pomace.

For this purpose, for example, as described in JP-A-56-72813, a case body surrounds a rotary body which has a spiral cutting and crushing part and a pressing part continuous to the cutting and crushing part. The material to be cooked, which is inputted from the input port of the case body, is cut by the rotation of the rotating body, the material is cut and crushed in the crushing section, and sent to the pressing section, and the cut and crushed material to be cooked is compressed in the pressing section. A juicer configured to squeeze juice has been developed. This type of compression juicer does not introduce air bubbles into the juice (and the juice does not separate), and the vibrations and noise are low, but since it gradually crushes the ingredients to be cooked, it Processing time is long (,
A force to crush the ingredients is required, and in particular, if you increase the input area of the ingredients to be cooked to increase the amount of ingredients supplied and shorten the processing time, it is necessary to increase the torque of the electric motor. It has the disadvantage of being expensive.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and involves cutting and pulverizing the material to be cooked using a cutting blade of a cutter provided on the upper surface of the rotating body, and forming the cut and pulverized material to be cooked on the surface of the rotating body. Juice processing time can be shortened by squeezing the juice with a spiral squeezer to separate the juice.No air bubbles are mixed into the juice, and vibration and noise are extremely low, improving squeezing efficiency. To provide a juicer that can process juice continuously.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention includes a rotary body that has a plate-shaped cutter having a cutting blade on its upper surface and a spiral squeezing portion formed on its circumferential surface and rotates around a vertical axis, and a rotating body that surrounds the squeezing portion of this rotary body with a small gap. A case body has a surrounding part that forms a cooking chamber, and a juice outlet and a pomace outlet are formed in the cooking chamber, and a cooking material input port that covers the upper opening of the case body and faces the cutter. The case body has a pomace discharge chamber that communicates with the pomace discharge port, and the pomace discharge outlet formed in the pomace discharge chamber has a dregs discharge direction and a pomace discharge outlet formed in the pomace discharge chamber. The dregs discharge direction of the dregs discharge port is set in a different direction from the dregs discharge direction, and the material to be cooked inputted from the input port is cut and crushed by the cutting blade of the cutter provided on the top surface of the rotating body. The material is squeezed by a squeezing part on the peripheral surface of the rotating body, the juice is separated and the juice flows out from the juice outlet, and the pomace is led out from the pomace outlet to a squeezing discharge chamber, The pomace introduced into the pomace discharge chamber is changed in its moving direction to a direction different from the pomace discharge direction of the pomace discharge port, and is discharged from the discharge port due to resistance, increasing the squeezing force inside the cooking chamber. .

It is more narrowly formed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The container holder (35) inserted into the space t34 between the case receiving angle part (4) of the base (1) and the juice outflow chamber (c) and pomace discharge chamber 6D of the case body αJ is inserted into the case holder. The container (35α) is placed on the part (4) to receive the juice flowing down from the juice discharge outlet G2, and the container (35α) to receive the pomace discharged from the pomace discharge outlet G2.

Next, when the electric motor (2) is driven by a switch operation, the belt (9) suspended between the pulley (6) of the drive shaft (5) 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, the material to be cooked is inputted from the input port (56), and the material to be cooked is pressed against the cutter (491K) using the push rod 6η.

At this time, the material to be cooked is rotated by the combination with the rotary body (the ceramic is connected to the rotating shaft (7) and the coupling section), and the cutter (49) is also rotated together with the rotary body (support). It is cut and crushed using a cutting car. The material cut and crushed by the cutting blade 52 is pushed out in the outer circumferential direction because the cutting blade (52 is shaped to send out in the outer circumferential direction and has a radial delay angle with respect to the rotational direction), and is pushed out in the outer circumferential direction, g) and the surrounding part (1, 41) of the case body α3). At this time, the helical blade 0 of the rotating body (g)
Since there is a narrow gap 111it (g6) between the upper surface of the drawing wing part (43i) and the inner surface of the lid body extending from the drawing wing part (43i), the material is securely connected to the surrounding 1 (141 and the rotating body) at this drawing wing part (43). □□□.The material fed between this surrounding part circle and the rotating body (G) is passed through the squeezing part (4).
The surrounding part (1) is pressed against the surrounding part (1), the fruit juice and solids are separated, and the spiral groove (421) between the spiral blades (4Ce) is moved downward. Since the material is gradually formed shallowly, the material is squeezed one after another.Then, the separated fruit juice is filtered through the small holes of the filter 4, and flows into the juice outflow chamber (231) from the juice outflow chamber 9.Then, this juice outflow chamber (Beams 7 on both sides of 231
(21JG?IJ is formed, so when the material is sequentially transferred downward by the rotation between the rotating bodies, the material gets caught on the upstream rail in the direction of rotation of the rotating body.
The movement of the material is suppressed, the squeezing force against the material becomes thicker, the extraction and separation of fruit juice is promoted, and furthermore, the movement of the solid residue is suppressed again at the rib 0υ on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the rotating body 06. , filter (261VC pressed, fruit juice is not impregnated with solid residue again, filter α)
The fruit juice flows from the small hole e9 into the juice outflow chamber (c) via the juice outflow port (L9).
A large squeezing force is not applied due to the rib (to) 0υ. In this way, the materials are sequentially squeezed and sent downward, and the separated and extracted juice is filtered through the juice outlet and the filter (toward), as shown in Figure 1, and the liquid is filtered through the juice outlet and into the juice outlet chamber. 231, and the juice is dripped into the container from the juice outlet @.Furthermore, the juice separated from the material pressed against the surrounding area 0 by the squeezer 9t411 between the rotating bodies flows downward and into the cooking chamber 05. ) is filtered by the filter tray η on the bottom surface 06) of the concave step (22).
1 and flows into the juice outflow chamber (c).

In addition, the material to be cooked is transferred downward by the rotation of the rotating body (G), and when it reaches the spiral blade (the part (44) without 40), most of the fruit juice is separated and becomes pomace, and the pomace is not discharged. It is introduced into the pomace discharge chamber 511 from the outlet side.The pomace introduced into the pomace discharge chamber 511 changes its direction approximately at right angles and flows from the pomace discharge outlet Ga opening downward into the container ( 35, resistance is added to the outflow of the dregs, and the squeezing force in the cooking chamber α9 increases.

Also, the gap (g, ) between the lower surface of the rotating body (G) and the bottom surface α6 of the cooking chamber Q9 is the gap (g2) between the outer circumferential surface of the spiral blade (40) of the rotating body 06) and the inner surface of the surrounding part (14). ), so the squeezed residue enters between the bottom surface of the rotating body (151) and the bottom surface (161) of the cooking chamber (151). Therefore, the squeezing rate does not decrease, and the rotating body (36) is not lifted up by the material that has entered the lower surface of the rotating body (3θ), and the material is There is no reduction in the squeezing force of the rotor (36). Each recess (
Since the rib (461) that partitions the rotating body (47) has a delay angle in the rotation direction of the rotating body (36I), the scum is not sent out toward the outer circumference of the rotating body (3e), but the dregs sent out from the discharge opening (4υ) is )) and the bottom of the cooking chamber α9.

In addition, the fruit juice and pomace that have entered between the bottom surface of the rotating body □□□ and the bottom surface of the cooking chamber a9 (1e) are removed from the cylindrical shape of the case body 03 that is fitted into the fitting part C371 of the rotating body (G). Part α (
) prevents the pomace from flowing out of the case body (13).

! Between the rotating bodies, the lower part is supported by the rotating shaft (7) at the coupling part (to), and the upper end is supported by the shaft (39), and the rotating body (g) receives the squeezing force at the lower part of the squeezing part (411). The shaft C19 is supported by the shaft support hole (55) with the inner end of the bearing 6 (to) closed, so the rotating body (to) is connected between the shaft C39) and the shaft support hole (55). Contact with the edge prevents upward lifting, and the center plane of the cutter s!i1
) and the bearing mark (y,) is narrower than R (!14) between the cutting blade 52 of the cutter 9) and the protruding surface 5 of the lid ■, so the cutting blade 521 is closer to the protruding surface of the lid 5. In the above embodiment, the rotating body (3Q's squeezing part (41J's spiral groove (421) was formed so that it gradually became shallower from the upper end to the lower end). (421 is shallow in stages (even if it is formed, the squeezing force against the material to be cooked can be increased).

Further, in the above embodiment, the shaft 69 of the rotating body (G) was supported in the shaft support hole (55α) of the bearing 5ω fixed to the lid, but it may also be supported in the shaft support hole of the lid 63). can.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the juice outlet (1!
Although the juice outlet (19) is not necessarily formed on the bottom surface (16), the juice outlet (19) formed in the surround Sθ4 is not limited to one place but may be formed in a plurality of places.

In addition, in the lower part of the rotating body (G), a part (44'l) where the spiral groove (421) is not formed is provided, and a structure trap in which a pomace discharge port C3Q+ is formed corresponding to this part (441) has been explained. It is not limited to the structure, but a spiral groove may be formed in the entire body, and the pomace discharge port (to) is formed by a cutter ( 49) as long as it is below the upper edge of the juice outlet (1).

Further, the cutter (49) can be detachably provided on the upper surface of the rotating body (T).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, a rotating body provided with a cutter having a cutting blade on its upper surface and having a spiral squeezing portion formed on its curved surface is surrounded by a surrounding portion of a case body and is rotatably provided around a vertical rotation axis, and A juice outflow port and a pomace discharge port are formed in the case body, and the dregs discharge direction of the pomace discharge port is different from the dregs discharge direction of the pomace discharge outlet of a pomace discharge chamber communicating with the pomace discharge port. Since it was formed in the direction,
The material to be cooked that has been cut and crushed by the cutting blade of the cutter is squeezed by the squeezing part, so that no air bubbles are mixed into the juice.
Nutrients such as vitamins are not destroyed, the juice content is not separated, and the pomace content is led out from the pomace discharge port to the pomace discharge chamber, and the pomace content introduced into this pomace discharge chamber is transferred in the direction of movement. The strain is changed and the pomace is discharged from the outlet, so it adds resistance to the discharging of the pomace from the cooking chamber, reduces the rate of discharge of the pomace from the cooking chamber, and reduces the force for squeezing the material in the cooking chamber. It can improve the squeezing efficiency, and the juice can be processed continuously by simply transferring the container that is released from the pomace discharge outlet, and there is also less vibration and noise. Since it 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.
