Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the sure guiding of a fruit cut into two with a cutter into a holding tool, by attaching an assistant member made of an elastomer to the guiding tool at the back of the cutter. CONSTITUTION:The fruit 11 (e.g. orange) cut into two with a cutter 8 is introduced into the holding tools 4, 4. For the above purpose, a pair of assistant members 10, 10 made of an elastomer pushing the cut fruit 11 toward the direction perpendicular to the guiding face of a guiding tool 9 are attached to the guiding tool 9 placed at the back of the cutter 8.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer for commercial use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, the guide device for guiding fruit from the cutter to the holder of this type of juicer has been a curved guide device made of a rigid body fixed to both rear surfaces of the cutter, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-6605, for example. It consisted only of guide tools.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a guide tool, as shown in FIG. During this process, the orange 21 may fall under its own weight and the juice cannot be squeezed out at all, or the orange 21 may be held with part of it protruding outside the holder 23 and the outer skin of the orange 21 may be squeezed, resulting in a bad taste of the juice. There was something to do.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an auxiliary member made of an elastic body on the guide tool at the rear of the cutter to urge the fruit in a direction perpendicular to the guide surface of the guide tool. be.

Function According to the above-described structure, when the fruit is cut by the cutter, the auxiliary member urges the hand-cut fruit toward the direction of the holding member using elastic force.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body, which includes an electric motor and a speed reduction mechanism. The rotation of the electric motor is decelerated and transmitted via the cam mechanism 3 to the holder 4 that rotates on both sides of the main body 1 and to the aperture coil 72 that rotates on the rotation locus of the holder 4. 5 is a transparent cover that is detachable from the main body 1 to prevent fruit juice from scattering, and a fruit inlet 6a.
is formed. 6 serves to filter and store the juice squeezed by the fruit juice receptor. 7 is a power switch.

Further, a cutter 8 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1, which is located approximately on the central plane of the pair of holders 4 and which cuts the fruit in half.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a rigid fruit guide provided at the rear of the cutter 8, which serves to guide the half-cut fruit to the holder 4.

Reference numeral 1o denotes an auxiliary member made of an elastic body such as a leaf spring, which is provided with one end fixed on both sides of the guide tool 9.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. When the power switch 7 is turned on, the aperture cone 2 and the holder 4 begin to rotate. Next, when a whole fruit (for example, an orange) 11 is put into the input port 5a, it is pushed by the pair of rotating holders 4 and is about to be cut in half by the cutter 8. At this time, the orange 11 presses the auxiliary member 1o against the elasticity, and the guide tool 9
move on the curved surface of Immediately after cutting is completed, an auxiliary member 10 is installed to prevent the half-cut orange 11 from falling due to its own weight.
It is reliably pushed into the holder 4 and held by its elastic force.

The rotating holder 4 swings to press the held orange 11 against the rotating squeezing cone 2 positioned on its rotation locus to squeeze out the juice.

Then, while holding the outer skin of the orange 11, the rotation is further continued, and the holder 4 removes the outer skin in a substantially horizontal position and is dropped. The removed outer skin passes through the outer skin discharge port 1a of the main body 1 and is stored in a trash can placed at the bottom of the main body 1. Further, the fruit juice is filtered through the fruit juice receiver 6 and can be obtained from the outlet 6a.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides an auxiliary member made of an elastic body directly above the guide at the rear of the cutter to urge the fruit in a direction perpendicular to the guide surface of the guide, thereby preventing the fruit from falling after half-cutting or falling out of the holder. This prevents protrusion and enables normal drawing work.
