Description

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

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a container fixing structure for this type of juicer has been disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-25598.

That is, as shown in FIG.
The container 3 and the container lid 4 were fixed onto the main body 1 by hooking the container 3 placed thereon onto a protrusion 6 provided on the outside of the container lid 4 so as to sandwich the container 3 thereon.

The left and right fixing plates 2 are connected by a connecting rod 6 inside the main body 1, and since this connecting rod 6 is pressed downward by a spring 7 inside the main body 1, the container lid 4 is fixed by the fixing plate 2. Then, the container 3 and the container lid 4 were fixed by receiving a force that brought them into close contact with the main body 1 side.

By the way, the inventors have considered fixing the container lid and the main body in a different manner. In other words, we considered a structure in which the lid extensions hanging down on the left and right sides of the container lid fit into locking portions that slightly protrude horizontally from the side walls of the main body, and the container could be fixed on the main body by sandwiching the container between the container lids. Ta.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when the container lid is fixed on the main body with such a structure, no force is applied to pull the container lid toward the main body.
If there is a slight gap between the main body and the container, or between the container and the container lid, a chattering sound may occur due to vibration, or the container or
There was a problem with the container lid moving loosely.

Means for solving the problems and the technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems are to provide clamps with convex locking parts protruding outside the main body on the left and right side walls of the main body, while slightly elastic A part of the left and right sides of the container lid having a shape is extended downward, and a recessed part is provided inside the extended container lid to fit with the convex locking part of the clamp. A gap is provided between them so that the bottom surface of the container and the main body come into contact with each other first.

action The effect of this technical means is as follows.

That is, when the container lid is placed on the main body so as to sandwich the container, and the upper surface of the lid extension of the container lid is forcefully pressed downward, the container lid has a slight elasticity and the lower surface of the container and the main body are pressed together. Since there is a gap between the lower end of the lid extension and the main body even after the lid has been placed, the lid extension moves slightly downward and the convex locking part of the clamp fits into the recessed part of the container lid extension. Then, the container lid is fixed on the main body. In other words, the container lid is fixed onto the main body while pressing the container. Therefore, there is no play between the main body, the container, and the container lid, and chattering noise due to vibration can be prevented. In particular, since a gap is provided between the lower end of the lid extension and the main body, the convex locking portion of the clamp and the recessed portion of the lid extension reliably fit together before the lower end of the lid extension first contacts the main body.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the attached FIGS. 1 to 5. In the figure, 11 is the motor, and the main body 1
It is fixed to the inside of 2 with screws 14 via a buffer 13. an output shaft 1 connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11;
A substantially cylindrical centrifugal separator 16 is detachably attached to the upper end of the centrifuge 6 . A substantially cylindrical, comb-shaped filter 17 having a plurality of vertical slits is removably mounted inside the centrifugal separator B16. Further, a cutter 18 is fixed to the center bottom of the centrifugal separation capacity 16.

A juice container 19 is stacked on top of the main body 12, and a juice outlet 20 is formed in a part of the bottom of the container 19. A groove is formed on the left and right sides of the back surface of the container 19, and an elastic body 21 is installed in this groove. are in contact with each other and are pressed when the container 19 is pushed downward. A container lid 23 is removably fitted into the container 19, and the container lid 23 is made of synthetic resin and has slight elasticity, and is provided with a material input port 24 in the center. The material input port 24 contains vegetables,
A push rod for pushing fruits etc. against the cutter 18 is pushed in. The main body 12 has a back plate 26 covering the lower surface and having legs 27 attached thereto. Further, clamps 28 are provided on the left and right sides of the inside of the main body 12.
is regulated in position by the main body 12 and the back plate 26 with a slight play left in the vertical direction, and is constantly pressed outward of the main body 12 by a spring 29. Further, the clamp cloud &28 is provided with a convex locking portion 3o at its upper end, and further provided with a finger pressing portion 31 below the locking portion 3o, which protrudes to the outside of the main body 12. Drooping lid extensions 32 are provided on the left and right sides of the container lid 23, and a hole 33 that fits into the convex locking portion 3o of the clamp 28 is provided in the lower part thereof. Further, after the lower end 34 of the lid extension 32 is fitted into the main body 12, a gap a is created between the lower end 34 and the main body 12.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. First, attach everything other than the container lid 23 onto the main body 12, and then attach the container lid 23.
When the lower end 34 of the lid extension 23 is attached to the clamp 28
It abuts against the convex locking portion 30 at the upper end. After that, the container lid 23
When the container 19. The elastic body 21 on the back side begins to be compressed by the protrusion 22 on the main body 12. Furthermore, container lid 2
3 and when the convex locking part 3o reaches the position of the hole 33 provided in the lid extension part 32, the convex locking part 3o fits into the hole 33 because the clamp 28 is pressed by the spring 29. Then, the container 19 and container lid 23 are fixed onto the main body 12. In other words, the back surface of the container 19 is pushed upward by the elastic body 21, and the lower surface contacts the main body 12, while the lower end 34 of the lid extension 32 is fixed to the main body 12 with a gap a remaining between the container 19 and the main body 12.

Here, in the case of fixing the container lid 23 with the convex locking part 3o that operates only in the left and right direction where no downward force is applied, as in this embodiment, the main body 12. Container 19. If the container lid 23 has a slight rattling in the vertical direction, there will be problems such as chattering noise between them due to the vibration of the motor 11 or rattling in the vertical direction. When the container lid 23 is fitted onto the main body 12 due to the slight elasticity of the container lid 23, the main body 12. Container 19. Since the container lid 23 is fixed without rattling, generation of chattering noise can be prevented. In particular, when the container 19 is in contact with the main body 12, there is a gap a between the lower end 34 of the lid extension 32 and the main body 12, so that the lower surface of the container 19 is attached to the main body 12.
It can be securely fixed in a predetermined condition.

However, if the lower end of the lid extension 32 comes into contact with the lower surface of the container 19, the elastic force of the elastic body 21 may be weak, or if there is no elastic body 21, play may occur between the main body 12, the container 19, and the container lid 23. A chattering sound occurs.

Furthermore, since the lower surface of the container 19 contacts the main body 12 before the container lid 23, the container 19 and the container lid 23 are brought into close contact with each other in the vertical direction, preventing the juice adhering to the inside from leaking to the outside from the fitting portion of the two. can do.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention includes a container placed on a main body, a slightly elastic container lid that covers the top of the container, and a convex shape on the left and right side walls of the main body. A clamp having a locking part protruding outside the main body is provided, while a portion of the left and right sides of the container lid is extended downward, and a recess into which the convex locking part of the clamp fits is provided inside the extended container lid. At the same time, a gap is provided between the lower ends of the left and right lid extensions of the container lid and the main body, so that the lower surface of the container and the main body are brought into contact with each other, so that the container lid is fixed in a state where the container is pressed against the main body, and the container, This eliminates rattling between the main body of the container lid and prevents the occurrence of chattering noises, etc., and the fitting parts of the container and container lid come into close contact with each other, preventing juice from leaking between the two.The effects are extremely large. It is what it is.
