Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a citrus juicer for squeezing citrus juice.

Traditional citrus juicers use cones to extract citrus pulp,
The juice and endothelium were dropped onto a filter, where only the juice was separated and stored in a juice receptor.

However, the filter may become clogged with the inner skin or pulp, or the surface tension of the juice may clog the eyes.
The juice could not be completely dropped into the juice container, causing a decrease in the squeezing rate.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional citrus juicer, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body with a built-in electric motor 2, and 3 is the electric motor 2.
It has a 0-rotation shaft and a hexagonal upper part, which fits into a hexagonal hole of a shaft 4a provided in a part of a cone 4 for squeezing juice, and transmits the rotation of the electric motor 2 to the cone 4. .

Reference numeral 5 denotes a lip for pushing the lees and the like outward, which protrudes horizontally from a part of the lower end of the cone 4 in the radial direction.

6 is a juice container, 7 is a filter having small holes 8,
A protrusion 7a that engages with the lip 5 is vertically and integrally disposed within the radius of rotation of the lip 5.

The protruding body 7a is made of a softer material than the lip 5, and does not interfere with the rotation of the cone 40 times.

The juice squeezed by the cone 4 is separated into lees and juice by a filter 7, and the juice is received in a container 6.

9 is a screw for fixing the electric motor 2 to the main body 1, 1° is a leg, 11
is the power switch.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a citrus fruit to be cut, which has an outer skin 13 on the outside and a fruit pulp 14 wrapped in an inner bag on the inside.

15 is the lees remaining on the filter 7, and 16 is the juice accumulated in the container 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the power switch 11 is turned on and the electric motor 2 is rotated, the cone 4 and the lip 5 rotate through the shaft 3 while engaging the protrusion 7a on the filter 7.

As shown in the figure, when the cut side of the object 12 is pressed against the cone 4, only the pulp 14 is crushed by the cone 4, and the juice, part of the pulp, and part of the inner bag fall onto the filter 7. , the juice falls into the container 6 through the small hole 8 and accumulates as juice 16.

On the other hand, a part of the pulp 14 and dregs 15 remaining within the rotation radius of the lip 5 on the filter are removed from the pulp 14 and dregs 15 outside the rotation radius of the lip 5.
x To prevent the small holes 8 of the filter 7 from clogging.

At the same time, the lip 5 and the protrusion 7a of the filter 7 interfere,
In order to give the filter 7 appropriate vibration, the filter 7
The juice that had adhered to the small holes 8 of the container 6 due to surface tension
to fall.

In this way, the present invention prevents the filter from clogging with lees, and also uses the rotation of the cone to vibrate the filter so that the juice adhering to the filter's openings due to surface tension falls off. You can get the rate.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 A main body containing a built-in electric motor, a cone driven by the electric motor to squeeze juice, a filter to strain the juice squeezed by the cone, and a container placed under the filter to receive the juice, with a lip protruding from the cone. a citrus juicer, the citrus juicer further comprising a protruding body that engages with a filter on a filter within a rotation radius of the lip.
