Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a mixer that crushes materials such as fruits and collects liquid juice.

Conventional mixers have a structure in which materials are put into a container body, and a cutter attached to the bottom of the container body rotates to crush and stir the materials.

However, since the cutter is located at the bottom of the container body, the crushed material circulates upwards inside the container body in large chunks, so it takes time for the chunks to come down, and in the end, the material is crushed into small pieces and evenly distributed. It took a considerable amount of time to do so.

This invention was made in view of these conventional problems, and aims to provide a mixer that can finely crush solid materials contained in liquid juice in a short period of time.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

1 to 3 show one embodiment of this invention. First, to explain the configuration, reference numeral 1 in the figure is a container body, and this container body 1
is detachably attached to a container support 3 provided above the casing 2. Further, a bearing support 4 is provided at the bottom of the container body 1, and this bearing support 4 is equipped with a bearing 6 to which a spindle 5 is attached. A pair of upper and lower cutters 7 are fixed to the upper end of the spindle 5, and an upper coupling 8 is fixed to the lower end of the spindle 5. The upper coupling 8 is connected to a lower coupling 9 projecting upward from the casing 2, and the lower coupling 9 is coupled to a motor (not shown) mounted within the casing 2.

On the other hand, above the cutter 7, there is provided a perforated plate 10 which vertically partitions the interior of the container body 1 and has a large number of holes H therein. A reinforcing rib 12 is provided that crosses approximately the center thereof. Further, the outer frame 11 has, for example, three legs 13 extending downward, and the lower ends of these legs 13 are in contact with the bottom of the container body 1. Note that reference numeral 14 is a knob provided approximately at the center of the reinforcing rib 12 and protruding upward. Also, outer frame 1
An annular rib 15 as an elastic layer is formed on the outer periphery of the elastic body 1 . The annular rib 15 presses against the inner wall of the container body 1 by pushing the perforated plate 10 into the container body 1, thereby fixing the perforated plate 10 to the container body 1.

Reference numeral 17 is a lid that closes the upper opening of the container body 1, and this lid 17 has an inner lid 18. Also,
Reference numeral 19 is the material and E is the liquid. moreover,
Reference numeral 20 indicates a notch formed at a predetermined portion of the outer frame 11.

Next, the effect will be explained.

First, remove the lid 17, hold the knob 14, and pull out the perforated plate 10. Then, the material 19 and liquid are put into the container body 1, the perforated plate 10 is attached again, and the lid 17 is closed. When the motor is turned on and the cutter 7 is rotated, the material 19 is crushed while being stirred between the perforated plate 10 and the bottom of the container body 1. Moreover, since the distance between the perforated plate 10 and the bottom of the container body 1 is narrow, the material 19 is
7 increases the frequency of crushing and crushes it finely in a short time. In addition, the liquid E generated by crushing the material 19 is transferred from the hole H of the perforated plate 10 to the container body 1.
leaches upwards.

Note that the legs 13 and reinforcing ribs 12 provided on the outer frame 11 are formed by a perforated plate 1 created by a vortex flow that causes the liquid E to flow from above to below due to the rotation of the cutter 7.
0 deformation is prevented. Further, if the annular rib 15 is formed on the outer periphery of the outer frame 11, there will be no gap between the inner wall of the container body 1 and the outer frame 11, and the liquid juice E will flow through the hole H.
It circulates inside the container body 1 only through.

When the liquid juice E is collected after the material 19 has been crushed, the lid 17 is removed and the liquid juice E is allowed to flow out from an appropriate part of the container body 1. Air can easily move in and out from above and below the perforated plate 10, making it easier for the liquid E to flow out.
Further, the perforated plate 10 can also remove fibers from the liquid juice E.

Note that the embodiments of this invention are not limited to those described above; for example, the perforated plate 10 may be formed in a mesh shape, and the reinforcing ribs 12 may be formed in the perforated plate 10.
They may be formed radially on one surface.

As explained above, according to this invention, an elastic layer is provided on the periphery between the cutter and the lid inside the container body, which has a diameter that becomes smaller as it goes downward, and the inside of the container body is divided vertically into two parts. Since the structure is such that a substantially disk-shaped perforated plate is fixed by pressing the elastic layer against the inner peripheral surface of the container body, the material is pulverized below the perforated plate 10, so that the material can be crushed in a short time and sufficiently. It can be finely pulverized and can prevent materials that cannot be sufficiently crushed from adhering to the lid or inner wall of the container body. Note that since an existing container body can be used for the mixer according to this invention, the manufacturing cost of the product can be kept low.
