Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lees retention type juicer having a cylindrical separation cage that rotates at high speed and a filter provided within the separation cage.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional juicer of this type has a structure as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

That is, a removable container 3 is provided on the upper part of a main body 2 that houses an electric motor 1, and a rotary shaft 4 of an electric motor 10 is contained in the container 3.
The separation cage 6 has a separation cage 6 which is connected to and rotated, and a cutter 6 is provided at the inner bottom of the separation cage 6. The opening of the container 3 is covered with a container lid 9 equipped with a charging lower and a push rod 8. Furthermore, a cylindrical filter 10 is provided inside the separation cage 6, and this filter 1° has a large number of adjacent substantially triangular prism-shaped filters as shown in the cross-sectional view of the separation cage 6 and the filter 1o in FIG. It consists of comb teeth 11, and slits 12 are formed between the comb teeth 11.

The juicer configured as described above supplies the material onto the cutter 6 from the input lower, presses the material against the cutter 6 with the push rod 8, cuts it, and scatters it around. In this way, the material is cut and adheres to the inside of the filter 1o to form a layer 13, and the juice contained in this layer 13 passes through the slit 12 of the filter 1o due to centrifugal force and is transferred between the filter 10 and the separation cage 60. It passes through the gap and is separated to the outside. Then, dregs remain in the filter 10.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in a juicer having such a structure, when cleaning the filter 1° with lees attached after squeezing the juice, the lees caught in the narrow slit 12 between the comb teeth 110 is removed. There was a problem that it was difficult to remove and difficult to wash. Also,
There was also the problem that lees entered through the gap formed between the lower end of the filter 1o and the bottom surface of the separation tube 6, and that this lees was likely to mix into the juice.

In view of these problems, the juicer of the present invention aims to improve the ease of cleaning the comb teeth of the filter and to obtain clear juice with less lees.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a main body containing a built-in electric motor, a container placed on the main body, a container lid that covers the upper opening of the container, and a container lid that covers the upper opening of the container. Driven by an electric motor,
and a cylindrical separation tube with a cutter at the inner bottom, and a cylindrical filter fitted inside the separation tube, the filter connecting a plurality of bottomed substantially semi-cylindrical comb teeth. It is composed of

Effects According to the above structure, when the filter is fitted into the separation tube, the interval between the comb teeth of the filter is reduced because the juice is separated by the slits formed on the contact surface between the bottomed substantially semi-cylindrical comb teeth and the separation tube. As a result, the dregs stuck between the comb teeth can be easily removed, making it easier to wash. Further, by providing a bottom to the comb teeth and closing them, it is possible to prevent lees from entering through the lower ends of the comb teeth and mixing into the juice.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4. Note that in FIGS. 1 to 4, the same parts as in FIGS. 6 and 6 shown in the conventional example are given the same numbers, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 1, 14 is a separation cylinder, and 16 is a filter constructed by connecting comb teeth 16 in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape with a bottom. When the filter 16 is fitted into the separation cylinder 14, A slit 18 is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the separation cylinder 14 and the comb teeth 16 by the lip 17 . FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the comb teeth 160 portion.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. When juice is squeezed with this juicer, the juice contained in the cut material 19 passes through the slit 18 between the inner peripheral surface of the separation tube 14 and the comb teeth 16 due to centrifugal force, and is passed through the slit 18 between the inner peripheral surface of the separation cylinder 14 and the comb teeth 16, It rises within the generally semi-cylindrical portion of the tooth 16 and is separated to the outside.

FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the separation tube 14 and the filter 16,
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the filter 16. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the comb teeth 16 are spaced widely, so that after squeezing the juice,
When removing and cleaning the filter 16 that has accumulated dregs,
The dregs caught between the comb teeth 16 can be easily washed away with water without using a cleaning brush or the like, and as a result,
This can improve the ease of washing.

Moreover, since the comb teeth 16 are provided with the bottom 20, lees will not enter from the bottom of the comb teeth 16 and come out mixed with the juice, and clear juice can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the juicer of the present invention is equipped with a filter consisting of a row of comb teeth that are widely spaced from each other and whose lower ends are closed. As a result, the filter becomes easier to wash, and clear juice is obtained without lees entering the bottom of the filter and mixing with the juice.
