Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking machine for general household use that can obtain juice by cutting and squeezing material.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems Fig. 1 shows a conventional juicer that can obtain juice by a squeezing method, in which 1 is a screw with a spiral groove 2, It is enclosed in a squeeze container 4 having 3.

The end opening of the squeeze container 4 is closed by a removable lid, and is detachably attached to the squeeze container support portion 7 of the main body 6. 8 is a motor included in the main body 6, and this motor 8 is connected to a reducer 9.8 also included. It is connected to the shaft 11 of the screw 1 via a coupling 1o. 12 is a filter provided at -J=1 of the squeeze container 4. Reference numeral 13 indicates a push rod installed in the input port 3, and reference numeral 14 indicates a juice receiving tip.

In the above-mentioned conventional shoe, leaf vegetables, etc., which are materials suitable for the squeezing method, are put into the input port 3, and the push rod 13
When the material is pressed against the screw 1, the material is sent toward the pressing section 16 through the helical groove 2 of the screw 1. and,
During this time, the material is crushed and cut in the gap 15 between the squeezing container 4 and the screw 1, and is sent to the squeezing section 16. The material is here pressed and the juice component is separated and extracted through a filter 12. The advantage of this method is that even thin materials such as leafy vegetables can be efficiently processed into juice. The disadvantage is that the gap 15 is small, so the material
This makes it difficult for the screw 1 to be removed from the squeezing container 4, making it troublesome to clean up and wash the juice after processing.

FIG. 2 shows a vertically placed squeezer type juicer, which is not a known method but is being considered by the inventors. This method uses screw 20. This is a juicer in which the input port 21 and the motor 22 are placed vertically, and compared to the above-mentioned horizontal juicer, the force applied when inputting the material is in the axial direction, so the screw 20. The advantage is that the motor 22 and the like can be easily supported. However, this method also has the same drawback as described above in that the screw 2o is difficult to come off from the squeeze container 23. That is, when the material is introduced, the material is cut and crushed by the upper screw 24 of the screw 20 and sent downward.

The pressing section 2 extends below the upper screw 24.
5 will be sent one after another. A lower screw 26 extending under the pressing part 25 has a spiral groove formed on the upper screw 26.
Since it is provided in the opposite direction to 4, the material is sent upward, that is, to the pressing section 25. In this way, materials are accumulated one after another in the pressing section 25, and the pressure gradually increases, and the juice components are separated and extracted through the filter 27. In this way,
Since lees accumulates between the squeezing part 26 and the squeezing container 23, the screw 20 becomes difficult to come off from the squeezing container 23.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The cooking machine of the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and aims at making it possible to easily remove the screw from the squeezing container.

Structure of the Invention The cooking machine of the present invention includes a screw that conveys and compresses material while cutting and pulverizing it, and a diaphragm that houses this screw and has a material input port at one end and a porous filter at a part of the side. The apparatus comprises a container, a motor for driving the screw, and a main body that houses the motor and detachably attaches the squeeze container, and the squeeze container can be disassembled in the axial direction, so that the screw can be squeezed. It can be easily removed from the container.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 5. The figure shows an example of a vertical screw type.

30 is a substantially cylindrical screw, and this screw 30 includes an upper screw 32 having a spiral groove 31 for cutting and pulverizing the material and sending it downward; and an upper screw 32 extending below the upper screw 32 to cut and crush the material. A pressing section 33 that squeezes the
It consists of two spiral grooves 31 and a lower screw 35 having opposite spiral grooves 34 and pushing the material up into the pressing section 33. 36 is a squeeze container with an input port 3 at the top end.
7 and a porous filter 38 on a part of the side wall, and a screw 3o is enclosed therein.As shown in FIG. It consists of 4 Q, each of which can be disassembled in the axial direction.

A fixing band 41 serves to fix the upper ends of the squeezed container left part 39 and the squeezed container right part 40'. The lower end 45 of the squeeze container 36 with its upper end fixed is detachably attached to a main body 430 containing a motor 42 for driving the screw 30, and a squeeze container mounting portion 44.
5 is supported by the main body 43. Still said screw 3
o is also detachably attached to the shaft 46 of the drive motor 42. Reference numeral 47 indicates a glass tip for receiving juice, and reference numeral 48 indicates a material pushing rod.

Next, we will discuss the effect. The screw 30 is attached to the shaft 46 of the drive motor 42, and the squeezed container 36, whose two ends are fixed with the fixing band 41, is attached to the main body 43 in the section 4.
Install it on 4. Next, the driving motor 42 is driven to rotate the screw 30, and the material is fed into the input port 3.
When the material is introduced from 7, the material is cut and crushed in the gap between the upper screw 32 and the squeeze container 36, and is transferred downward to the squeeze section 33 by the spiral groove 31.

A lower screw 35 is installed following this pressing section 33, and this lower screenie 35 is provided with a spiral groove 34 in the opposite direction to that of the upper screw 32, so that the cut and crushed material is compressed. portion 33, that is, serves to send upward. The material cut and crushed in this way is stored one after another in the pressing section 33, and the pressure gradually increases to squeeze the material and separate it into juice components and glaze components.
Only the juice component passes through the filter 38 and juice is obtained. Here, the lees is pushed out through a lees outlet hole 49 provided in the side wall of the squeezing container 36 facing the pressing section 33. However, when the juice extraction is finished and the screw 30 is stopped, the lees are still attached to the periphery of the squeezing part 33, and the screw 3o is now firmly fixed to the squeezing container 36 through the lees. . In this state, the screw 3o and the squeeze container 36 are removed from the main body 43 and the shaft 46 of the driving motor 42. Next, the fixing band 41
The screw 3o can be easily removed from the squeeze container 36 by removing it and then splitting the squeeze container 36 left and right.

Furthermore, if the fixing band 41 and the lower end of the squeeze container 36 are screwed in, it will be easier to remove them.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, a vertical squeeze type juicer has been described, but the same applies to the type shown in FIG. 1.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the cooking machine of the present invention has the following excellent effects.

(1) Since the squeeze container can be easily removed from the screw, cleaning up after juice extraction becomes easy.

(2) Since the squeeze container can be disassembled, the squeeze container is easy to clean and sanitary.
