Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a citrus juicer that squeezes the juice from half-sliced citrus fruits by pressing them against a rotating squeeze cone, and prevents deterioration of squeezing performance when continuously squeezing the juice. The purpose is to maintain the initial performance and to simplify the disposal of pomace and the cleaning work after use.

In conventional citrus juicers, an effective means of preventing deterioration of squeezing performance is to prevent clogging by using blades installed at the bottom of the squeezing cone to drive the squeezed residue that accumulates on the filter to the outer periphery. Ta. However, when used continuously, there is a limit to the amount of lees that can accumulate on the outer periphery, resulting in a significant deterioration of performance. Another problem is that the structure itself in which the lees is deposited on the outer periphery does not meet the manufacturing needs of miniaturization and the market needs. Furthermore, it has the disadvantage that the squeezed lees is dispersed and it takes a lot of time to process and wash the lees, so I don't think it fulfills its function satisfactorily.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body housing a drive unit 2, and power is transmitted to an aperture cone 4 by rotation of a shaft 3. A brush 5 having appropriate elasticity is provided near the bottom of the aperture cone 4. When citrus fruits are pressed against the squeeze cone 4, the squeeze cone 4 rotates and compresses the pulp to produce fruit juice and lees such as fibers and seeds. The fruit juice passes through the filter 6 and accumulates in the receiver 7, flows out from the spout 8 and enters the receiver 9.
It accumulates. Furthermore, as the brush 5 rotates on the filter 6 with moderate pressure, the dregs left on the filter 6 are forcibly sieved through the holes 6', and are finally sifted into a spirally inclined form. From the opening 10 provided in the stepped part of the bottom,
The juice is discharged to the outside through the opening 11 of the juice receiver 7 and the groove 12 provided in the main body 1. Groove 12
If the outlet 13 is provided with a container 14 for receiving lees, the lees can be disposed of centrally, which is very convenient. Further, ribs 15, 16, 17 are provided on the back side edge of the opening 10 of the filter 6 and on the front and back edges of the opening 11 of the fruit juice receiver 7.
When installed, the ribs 15 and 16 easily fit together, allowing the filter 6 and the juice receiver 9 to be positioned, and at the same time, since the rib 15 is located inside the rib 16, small particles can leak into the juice receiver. It prevents Further, positioning of the fruit juice receiver 9 and the main body 1 side is made possible by easily fitting the ribs 17 into the grooves 12.

With the above configuration, when a large amount of fruit juice is required and squeezed continuously, lees will not accumulate on the filter 6, and deterioration of squeezing performance can be prevented. Furthermore, since these are all removable, the dregs can be disposed of easily and centrally, and cleaning work can be simplified.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the aperture performance during continuous aperture, which was one of the major drawbacks of conventional citrus juicers, and to enable continuous aperture while maintaining the initial performance indefinitely. By centrally disposing of the squeezed lees, cleaning work after use can be simplified and made more efficient, and the product can also be made smaller to fully demonstrate its effectiveness. Further, since the filter, the juice receiver, and the main body are fitted and positioned with each other through the openings and grooves, there is no malfunction, and excellent effects are achieved in that handling is easy.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. An aperture cone with a brush having an appropriate elastic body near the bottom, a filter whose bottom surface has a spiral shape with respect to the shaft and whose stepped portion is open, and a cone that is apertured by the filter. It consists of a fruit juice receiver having an opening that receives fruit juice and that fits into the opening of the filter, and a main body that has a groove at the position where these openings fit, and is characterized in that these parts are detachable from each other. and citrus juicer. 2 Ribs are provided on the back edge of the filter opening and on the front and back edges of the juice receiver opening, and when installed, the rib on the filter side fits inside the rib on the juice receiver side, and 2. The citrans juicer according to claim 1, wherein the groove portion and the rib on the back surface of the juice receiver are fitted together.
