Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a cooking machine, such as a juicer, for extracting fruit juice from ingredients to be cooked.

Conventionally, as a juicer, a cooking machine body formed in an internal substantially cylindrical shape is installed horizontally, and a rotary body having a squeezing part and a cutting part formed of a spiral protrusion is mounted inside the main body. While rotating the rotary body, the material to be cooked is inputted from the input port of the main body located on the proximal end side. It has been proposed that the fruit is further crushed by rotation and squeezed between the inner wall of the main body in a pressing section to separate fruit juice and pomace and transfer it to the tip to extract the fruit juice.

However, the cutting and pulverization of the material input through the input port of such a juicer is mainly performed by the cutting section of the rotary body located facing the input port, so the material is loaded under an extremely large load due to its structure. This is undesirable, especially when materials are being fed continuously, as it may cause overheating of the drive motor.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and it reduces the load applied to the rotating body that cuts and crushes the material when it is input from the input port, and relatively improves the cutting and crushing ability of the material. To provide a cooking machine that allows continuous feeding of ingredients without any hindrance.

Next, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

In addition, a juice outlet 20 is opened at the lower surface of the other end of the main body 4 that protrudes from the support base 5, and a plate-shaped filter 21 having a large number of small holes is detachably attached to the juice outlet 20. It is provided in an arc shape along the inner circumferential surface of the main body 4 on the same plane as the inner circumferential surface.

Further, a dross discharge port 22 is formed on the upper rear side of the tip end side of the main body 4 and protrudes in the direction A tangential to the inner surface. It is located approximately midway from the outlet 20 to the main body 40 in the circumferential direction.

In addition, a bearing recess 25 is provided at the center of the inner surface of the tip 16 of the main body 4.
is formed, and a bearing 26 molded from metal or synthetic resin is fitted and fixed in this bearing recess 25.

Further, a cylindrical bearing portion 28 is integrally projected from the shaft insertion hole 15 of the side wall 14 of the base body 1, and a bearing 29 molded from metal or synthetic resin is fitted and fixed to this bearing portion 28.

Next, 33 is a rotating body, and a rotating shaft 34 that penetrates through this rotating body 33 and protrudes from both ends is rotatably mounted on the bearings 26 and 29, and the base end of this rotating shaft 340 is attached to the bearing of the main body 4. The drive shaft 120 is protruded from the part 28 and the spring part 1
3 is formed with a coupling portion 35 that is detachably engaged with the coupling portion 3 .

The center of this rotating body 33 is arranged to substantially coincide with the center of the substantially cylindrical inner surface of the main body 4.

A spiral protrusion 36 is disposed on the outer periphery of the rotating body 33 in a spiral shape from the proximal end to the distal end, the part facing the inlet 17 serving as a cutting part 36a, and facing the juice outlet 20. A compressed portion 37 is formed in the portion.

The diameter of the groove surface 40 between the cutting portions 36a has a large diameter difference and increases toward the distal end side.

The spiral protrusion 36 is continuous in the pressing part 37 of the octopus rotating body 33, and the material to be cooked is transferred to the tip side by rotation in one direction.
The groove surface 42 between the filters 6 and 6 gradually increases in diameter with a diameter difference toward the distal end side, and the gaps between the groove surface 42 and the inner surface of the main body 4 and the inner surface of the filter 21 gradually become smaller.

Additionally, the outer diameter of the spiral protrusion 36 gradually decreases toward the tip in accordance with the inner diameter of the main body 4, and the pitch thereof gradually becomes narrower toward the tip.

Reference numeral 59 denotes a juice container placed on the mounting table 6 of the base 1 and located below the juice outlet 20 of the main body 4.

Further, reference numeral 60 denotes a dregs receiver placed on the mounting table 6 of the base 1 adjacent to the juice container 59, and the upper end of the dregs receiver 60 is opened facing the scum discharge port 22 of the main body 4. has been done.

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 cooking machine 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.

A rotating shaft 34, which is rotated by the drive shaft 12 through a coupling part 13 held at 350 degrees, is rotated, and the rotating body 33 is rotated.

In this state, when the material to be cooked is put into the material to be cooked from the material input port 17 and pressed with the push rod 19, as shown in FIG.
is a cutting portion 36a related to the spiral protrusion 33 of the rotating body 33
When it is pinched and transferred under pressure to the tip side, it is cut very easily and with a light load by the cutter 18 at the opening edge 17b of the input port 17.

As a result, the load on the electric motor 1 can be reduced, and the material a can be continuously charged from the input port 17 smoothly.

Then, the cut material a is sent to the pressing section 37 which is continuous with the cutting section 36jl and is housed therein.

In this pressing part 37, the groove surface 4 of the spiral protrusion 36
2 is formed to gradually increase in diameter, the material a 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 the liquid content extracted in this way is transferred to the lower part. The juice passes through the small holes of the filter 21 and flows out to the juice outlet 20,
It is dripped into the juice container 59.

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

In this embodiment, the shape of the cutter provided in the input port is arcuate, but the shape is not limited to this.

As described above, according to the present invention, a cutter is provided at the mouth edge of the main body side of the input port, and its blade surface faces toward the proximal end, so that the material input from the input port is transferred to the proximal end by the rotation of the rotating body. When the material is transferred from the side to the tip side, the material can be cut extremely easily and with a light load using the cutter, and as a result, the cutting and crushing ability of the material is relatively increased, and the material can be continuously fed from the input port. To obtain a cooking machine which can perform cutting and pulverization of the material extremely smoothly even in the case of a certain situation, and which performs stable operation.
