DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a juicer for squeezing juice from vegetables and fruits.

Conventional technology A conventional juicer of this type has a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, one end of two fixing plates 2 is rotatably supported on opposing parts of the outer surface of the main body 1 on which the container 3 and the container lid 4 are placed, and the other end of the fixing plate 2 is mounted on the main body 1. Placed container 3
The container 3 and the container lid 4 were fixed on the main body 1 by being hooked onto a protrusion 6 provided on the outside of the container lid 4 so as to sandwich the container 3 and the container lid 4. The fixing plates 2 on both sides are connected by a connecting rod 6 in the main body 1, and when the fixing plate 2 fixes the container lid 4, a part 7 of the connecting rod 6
releases the locking mechanism of switch 8, and switch 8 turns on.
It was possible to turn it off.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, there is no container 3 on the main body 1.
After placing the container lid 4 and the like, the fixing plate 2 must be rotated by external force and the fixing plate 2 must be hooked on the protrusion 6, so the operation of placing the container 3 and the container lid 4 on the main body 1,
Two operations are required: rotating the fixed plate 2;
It was very troublesome. Furthermore, since the fixing plate 2 protrudes from the outer surface of the main body 1, the product becomes large and at the same time, it has a point of illumination when clothes, etc. are hung on the fixing plate 2 during use.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a juicer that can be turned on and off by placing and fixing a container lid, has few irregularities on the outside of the product, and has a one-touch clamping mechanism. With the goal.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the juicer of the present invention includes a main body that includes a built-in electric motor, a container placed on the main body, a container lid that covers the top of the container. A clamp is provided on both sides of the main body so that the locking part is biased to protrude from the side wall of the main body, and the locking part is inserted into the container lid facing the locking part. It has a hole,
A switch for the electric motor is provided in the main body, and an operating body that operates in conjunction with the switch is provided at the bottom of the container lid.

Effect The effect of this technical means is as follows. That is,
After the container is mounted on the main body, when the container lid is pressed downward, the hole in the container lid fits into the locking part of the clamp, and the container lid is fixed to the main body. At this time, the operating plate installed in the container turns on the switch installed inside the main body.

Can be turned off. Also, if either side of the clamp is fixed, the end surface of the container on the side of the container lid that is not fixed will rise, and the operating plate will not act on the switch sufficiently, causing the switch to turn off.
I can't do N.

Embodiment In the following, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the accompanying drawings in FIGS. 1 to 9, a motor 11 is attached to the lower part of the main body 12 via a buffer 13 with a screw 14; is an output shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11,
A substantially cylindrical centrifugal separator 16 is detachably attached to its upper end.

17 is a substantially cylindrical comb-shaped filter that is detachably installed inside the centrifugal separator 16, 1B is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifugal separator 16, and 19 is a juice receiver placed on the main body 12. A juice outlet 20 is provided in a part of the lower part of the container.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a container lid which is detachably fitted into the container 19 and has a material input port 22 in the center thereof.

6 - 23 is a push rod that is inserted into the material input port 22 and presses vegetables, fruits, etc. against the cutter 18; 24 is a bottom plate that covers the lower surface of the main body 12 and has legs 26 attached thereto; Reference numeral 26 denotes a plate-shaped clamp whose lower end is supported by a fixing part 42 provided at the inner bottom inside the main body 12, and the upper part of which is always fixed to the main body 12 by a spring 27.
Forced outward. At the upper end of this clamp 26 is provided a locking portion 28 with an inclined upper surface, and further below the locking portion 28 is provided a finger pressing portion 29, both of which protrude outward from the main body 12. 3o is a lid extension extending downward from the container lid 21, and is provided with a hole 31 that fits into the locking portion 28 of the clamp 26. Reference numeral 32 denotes two leaf springs provided on the back surface of the container 19 facing the lid extension 30, and reference numeral 33 represents a protrusion provided on the back surface of the container 19 at approximately the center of the two leaf springs 32. 34 is a projection provided on the container 19 so as to come into contact with the leaf spring 32. 36 is a switch for the motor 11 provided in the main body 12, and a lock pin 36 protrudes from the upper surface thereof. 37 has its lower end in contact with the lock pin 36, and the spring 3
This is a sliding plate which is normally pushed upward by 8, and its upper part penetrates through the seal packing 39 and projects to the upper surface of the main body 12. 4o is a metal fitting for receiving the guide lever spring 38 on the sliding plate 37, and is attached to the main body 12 with screws 41.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. First, when the container 19, the centrifugal separator 16, etc. are mounted on the main body 12, and the container lid 21 is mounted, the lower end of the lid extension 3° is attached to the clamp 2.
It hits the locking part 28 of No.6.

Thereafter, when the container lid 21 is pressed downward, the clamp 26 pressed by the spring 27 is moved to the locking portion 2 as shown in FIG.
At 8, the clamp 28 receives the component force in the inner direction of the main body 12.
is displaced toward the main body 12 side. When the container lid 21 is further pressed, the locking portion 28 of the clamp 26 pressed by the spring 27 fits into the hole 31, and the container lid 21 is fixed to the main body 12. On the other hand, when the container lid 21 is fixed to the main body, the plate spring 32 on the back surface of the container 18 is pressed by the projection 34. Further, since the protrusion 33 on the back surface of the container 19 presses the sliding plate 3γ downward, the lock pin 36 projecting upward from the switch 36 is pushed, and the locking mechanism of the switch 36 is released, allowing the switch 36 to be turned on and off.

Here, only one of the left and right clamps 26 is attached to the container lid 21.
When the container 19 is fixed, the container 19 on the unfixed side is pushed upward by the leaf spring 32.
3 does not push down the sliding plate 37 sufficiently, and the lock bin 3
6 is small, the locking mechanism of the switch 36 is not released and the switch cannot be turned on. This is because a protrusion 33 is provided on the back surface of the container 19 on either the front or back side approximately in the center of the locking part 28 of the left and right clamps 26 of the main body 12, so either the left or right of the clamp 26 is fixed to the container lid 21. However, the conditions are the same.

Furthermore, since the protrusion 33 is located either at the front or rear of the approximately central portion of the two leaf springs 32, the finger pushing part 29 of the clamp 26 is pressed with a finger to disengage the locking part 28 and the hole 31, and the leaf spring 32 When the container 19 and container lid 21 float up, they float at a substantially uniform height without tilting to either side, thereby preventing contact between the container 19 and container lid 21 and the centrifugal separator 16 and cutter 18. be able to.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides a clamp in which the locking portions provided on both sides inside the main body protrude outside the main body, a hole portion in the container lid that fits into the locking portions of the clamp, and a hole portion on the back surface of the container that extends in the vertical direction. In addition, an operating plate is provided on either the front or rear of the back of the container at approximately the center of the locking portion, which is linked to a switch provided inside the main body, so that only one side of the container lid can be opened. Even if the switch is fixed to the main body, the switch cannot be turned on, and since the container is mounted on the main body in an almost horizontal position, it is possible to prevent contact between the container, the container lid and the centrifugal separator, and the cutter. The entire structure can be made compact with less unevenness.
