Description

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

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, this type of juicer has a case, a means for half-cutting the fruit, such as an orange, to be thrown in, and a device that grips the half-cut fruit with a holder at the tip and holds it along the side of the case. It was common to have a rotating arm and an aperture cone placed on the trajectory of the holder. However, this configuration has the problem that when the fruit (for example, an orange) is squeezed, the juice scatters over a wide area on the side of the case, making it difficult to collect and resulting in a very low reuse rate.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a juicer that improves the efficiency of collecting pulp and juice.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the juicer of the present invention includes an arm that rotates along the side of the case, a fruit holder provided at the tip of this arm, and a fruit holder provided on the trajectory of the holder. and a wiper made of an elastic material is brought into contact with the side surface of the case at the tip of the holder, so that when the fruit is squeezed, the wiper removes the pulp and fruit juice adhering to the side wall of the case. It is something to collect.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case with an electric motor 2 provided on the inner bottom, and substantially circular recesses 3 on both sides. A turret 4 rotated by the electric motor 2 is provided approximately at the center of the recess 3, and a holder 6 is further provided to the turret 4 via an arm 5. Further, a cone 7 for squeezing the fruit is provided on the trajectory along which the holder 6 rotates. Inside the turret 4 and arm 5, when the holder 6 rotates within the recess 3 and comes to the position of the cone 7, a holder 6 is inserted into the cone 7.
A cylindrical cam 8 and a cam follower portion 9 are provided so that the inner surface of the cone 7 is pressed against the cone 7.

The holder 6 has a pin 12 inserted into a cam groove 10 provided in the turret 4 and urged toward the turret 4 by a coil spring 11.
is provided, and the claws 13 inside the holder 6 are opened and closed by the vertical movement of this pin 12. Furthermore, a wiper 14 made of an elastic material is provided at the tip of the holder 6 so as to be able to rotate freely and come into contact with the side surface of the recess 3 of the main body case 1.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned structure will be explained. First, when a user throws in a whole fruit such as an orange through the slot 15 provided at the top of the main body case 1, the fruit is cut in half by the cutter 16, and then the fruit is cut in half by the cutter 16. It is held by a holder 6 provided at the tip of an arm 5 rotating inside 3 by the operation of a claw 13 by a pin 12. The arm 5 further rotates within the recess 3 and the holder 6 presses the fruit held at the cone 7 onto the rotating cone 7.
rotates. At this time, the fruit is squeezed by the cone 7, and the fruit juice and pulp are scattered into the recess 3 and guided to the outside through the hole 17 provided at the deepest part of the recess 3. Thereafter, the squeezed waste such as fruit skin is discarded by opening the claws 13 of the holder 6 at a predetermined position. Then, the holder 6 further rotates to receive the next fruit, and the above-described operation is repeated, thereby making it possible to obtain a large amount of fruit juice in a short period of time. Here, the wiper 14 provided at the tip of the holder 6 moves the fruit juice and fruit adhering to the side wall of the recess 3 to the hole 17, so that the efficiency of collecting juices is greatly improved. Furthermore, since the wiper 14 is rotatable, even when the holder 6 rotates at the cone 7 position, it reliably contacts the side wall of the recess 3.

It goes without saying that if a protrusion or the like is provided on the side wall of the recess 3 facing the cone 7 and used as a guide for the wiper 14, the wiper 14 will be more securely prevented from being rotated by the rotation of the holder 6.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the juicer of the present invention can improve the efficiency of collecting fruit juice and pulp by providing a wiper on the fruit holder.
