On the outer periphery of this rotating body 33, a spiral protrusion 36 is arranged in a spiral shape from the proximal end to the distal end, and the part facing the inlet 17 has a cutting blade 36&, and faces the juice outlet 20. A compressed portion 37 is formed in the portion.

The blade surface 39 is formed toward the tip side so that the material to be cooked fed from the input port 17 is cut by the cutting blade 36a and the opening edge 38 of the main body 4 of the input port 17.

The diameter of the groove surface 40 between the cutting blades 36a has a large diameter difference and increases toward the tip side.

Further, in the pressing section 37 of this rotary body 33, a spiral protrusion 36 without a blade surface 39 is continuous, and the material to be cooked is transferred to the tip side by rotation in one direction. The groove surface 42 between the two faces toward the tip side.

Further, a plurality of support legs 61 made of rubber or the like are provided on the lower surface of the main body 4.
is formed, and this at least one support leg 61 is located outside of the support base portion 5.

Next, how to use this cooker will be explained.

First, when the switch is turned on and the electric motor 7 is driven, the drive shaft 12 is rotated at a reduced speed of approximately 200 to 300 revolutions per minute via the worm gear and worm wheel.

The rotating shaft 34 is rotated by engagement of the coupling parts 13 and 35 with the drive shaft 12, and the rotating body 33 is rotated.

In this state, when the material to be cooked is inputted from the material input port 17 and pushed by the push rod 19, the material is cut by the cutting blade 36a of the rotary body 33 and the opening edge 38 of the input port 17, forming a spiral shape. It is transferred to the tip side of the rotating body 33 by the spiral protrusion 36 .

The cut material is then sent to a pressing section 37 that is continuous with the cutting blade 36.

This compressed portion 37 is formed so that the diameter between the groove surfaces 42 of the spiral protrusion 36 gradually increases, and a plurality of protrusions 4 are formed on the groove surface 42.
1 is formed, the material is sequentially crushed and squeezed between the inner surface of the main body 4 and the groove surface 42 to extract the liquid content, and is further crushed into fine particles by the projections 41 provided on the groove surface 42 to reduce the cells of the material. The liquid thus extracted is discharged to the lower juice outlet 20 through the small hole of the filter 21, and is then transferred to the juice container 59. dripped.

The fibrous residue is discharged from the residue discharge port 22 to the residue receiver 60.

This dregs discharge port 22 is located above and on the downstream side of the juice outlet 20 with respect to the rotating direction of the rotating body 330, so that after the liquid is extracted at the juice outlet 20, it is discharged from the dregs discharge port 22. The dross is intensively discharged without being absorbed again, improving squeezing efficiency.

At this time, since the feeding speed of the pomace that is sent forward by the rotating body 33 is fast, the pomace may accumulate between the bottom surface 43 of the rotary body 33 and the main body 4, causing a decrease in the discharge efficiency. The dross that has entered between the main body 4 and the main body 4 is scraped out to the outside by the wing portion 44, and the discharge efficiency is always kept constant.

The waste can be efficiently discharged by widening the side wall 22a of the waste discharge port 22, particularly the side wall 22a on the bottom surface 43 side of the rotating body 33, as shown in FIG.

Further, the rotating body 33 is mounted horizontally to the base 1, and the dross is transferred toward the tip side, and the juice liquid is discharged to the lower juice outlet 20, so that the liquid and the dross can be separated well. The dross and liquid will not flow out to the base 1 side, and the dross and liquid will not flow into the electric motor 7 and the transmission mechanism housing side.

Further, the input port 2 of the main body 40 is supported by the support part 5 of the base body 1, and at least one support leg 61 of the base body 1 is located outside of the support part 5, so that it can be pressed with the push rod 19. The pressing force of the material to be cooked that is applied at the time of cooking can be received by the support base portion 5, the main body 4 is stably supported, and cooking processing can be performed in a stable state.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, considering the case where materials are rapidly and continuously introduced from the input port 17, if the material contains a large amount of fruit juice, the speed at which the fruit juice and the pomace are separated cannot catch up with the speed at which the material is introduced. Fruit juice may accumulate inside the main body 4 and flow back to the input port 17.

In such a case, if the push rod 19 is pushed into the input slot 17, fruit juice may blow out from the input port 17.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show other embodiments of the push rod 19 that have been improved in the above points, and a recessed portion 19b is formed by extending downward from both intermediate sides of the input slot insertion portion 19a of the push rod 19. The depth of the concave portion 19b at the bottom surface 19c is shallow.

The reason why the depth of the recessed portion 19b differs between the middle of the insertion portion 19a and the bottom surface 19o side is because the bottom surface 19o is used only for pushing the material, so that an extreme dent cannot be made.

By configuring the push rod 19 as described above, even if the push rod 19 is pushed into the input slot 17 in the case where fruit juice has accumulated inside the main body 4 and is flowing back to a part of the input port 17 as described above, the juice will not flow out. It is stored in the concave portion 19b of the push rod 19 and the input port 1
7 is prevented.

Note that the shape of the push rod 19 is not limited to those shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, and it is sufficient that the intermediate side surface of the insertion portion 19a is shaped to store fruit juice between the inner wall of the insertion port 17. The intermediate side surface portion of 19a may be formed into a constricted shape.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to squeeze out the fruit juice, the gap between the inner wall of the main body 4 and the rotating body 33 is gradually narrowed from the proximal end to the distal end, so that no fruit juice remains in the squeezed residue. However, if this gap is made too narrow,
The compressed and pulverized material is not smoothly sent to the tip side, and the squeezed scum that cannot be discharged from the discharge port 22 accumulates in the compressing section 37, which causes abnormal pressure to be applied to the main body 4, which may cause damage.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment that has been improved in this respect, and shows a small area of the groove surface 42a located in the vicinity of the discharge port 220 in the rotating body 33 and the inner wall of the main body 4. The gap is sufficiently narrowed to connect the remaining groove surfaces 42, 40 and the main body 4.
This allows for ample space between the inner wall and the inner wall.

With the above structure, the material is smoothly transferred while being crushed and squeezed up to the groove surface 42a, and the remaining fruit juice contained in the pomace is sufficiently extracted between the fruit juice and the main body 4 at the groove surface 42a. Afterwards, the pomace is discharged from the discharge port 22.

Here, the portion where the gap to the inner wall of the main body 4 is narrow is the groove surface 42. Since the area is within a small range, the pomace does not remain in this area (the pomace is smoothly discharged sequentially from the discharge port 22.

Furthermore, separation of fruit juice and pomace can be performed quickly.

10 and 11 show other embodiments of the juicer inlet 17, in which an arcuate shape is formed along the inner periphery of the opening edge 38 on the main body 4 side of the inlet 17 toward the base body 1. A cutter 51 is provided.

With such a configuration, when the material is input through the input port 17 while rotating the rotary body 36, the rotary body 330
When the material is transferred to the tip side by rotation, the input slot 17
The cutter 51 can cut the lower part very easily and with a light load.

As a result, the load on the electric motor 7 can be reduced, and materials can be continuously inputted from the input port 17 smoothly.

Note that the cutter 51 is not limited to a circular arc shape.

FIG. 12 shows another embodiment improved so that the material is crushed quickly and effectively by the rotary body 33. The cutting protrusions 53 are provided, and the cutting blade 36a
The blade surfaces are opposed to each other in the tangential direction of the spiral.

With the above structure, the material input into the input port 17 is sequentially scraped off by the cutting blade 36a of the rotary body 33 according to the blade height, and is pressed against the spiral protrusion 36 while moving toward the tip along the groove surface 40. The direction is transferred.

In this way, when the material is transferred forward while sliding on the groove surface 40, it is also crushed by the cutting protrusion 53, so that the material is finely crushed, making it easy to extract the juice, and the cutting blade 36a at the input port 17 The load applied to the system will be distributed and alleviated.

As a result, fruit juice can be efficiently extracted through stable operation.

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a plurality of protrusions on the groove surface sandwiched between the spiral protrusions in the pressing section of the rotary body, the rotary body and the main body are finely pulverized and transferred by the rotation of the rotary body. It is possible to provide a cooking machine in which the material to be cooked that has been squeezed between the two is further finely pulverized by the projections to promote the extraction of fruit juice, and the material to be cooked can be effectively utilized.
