Description

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

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A conventional holder mounting portion of this type of juicer has a structure as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. That is, the holder 20 includes a mounting bracket 23 that is supported by the bottle 21 and has a hole 22, and a spring 24 that biases the mounting bracket 23.
and a cylindrical fitting hole 26 that fits into the arm 26, while the cylindrical arm 26 engages with the hole 22 of the mounting fitting 23 to firmly secure the holder 2o to the arm 26. It was equipped with a fixing bin 27 to be fixed to. In addition, 28
Reference numeral 29 indicates the slide bin 2 which is slid by a portion of the arm 26 using a cam mechanism (not shown).
A coil spring 30 resists the pop-out movement of the slide bin 28, and a coil spring 30 is opened and closed by the movement of the slide bin 28 to hold fruits, etc. in the holder 2o.
A pair of pawls 31 for holding or discharging from the holder 20 are leaf springs that exert a spring force during opening movement against the closing movement of the pair of pawls 3o.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, such a conventional configuration has the following problems. In other words, the holder 2° and the arm 25 are difficult to install, so they fit snugly, so they are easily strained, which makes it very difficult to insert them, and the fitting part is fixed by the juice obtained by squeezing fruit, etc. In some cases, it became impossible to remove the holder 2°.

Furthermore, since this juicer is a commercial device, the users of the device are often women who work part-time and are not necessarily familiar with the device. For this reason, for example, the holder 2o may not be fully inserted and installed into the arm 25 until the end, and the fixing pin 27 may not be engaged with the hole 22 of the mounting bracket 23, mistakenly thinking that the installation is complete. I often had to drive. If the operation is performed in this state, the holder 2o that rotates when the slide bin 28 pops out will pop out, and as a result, the arm 25
While only the tip of the holder 2o remains fitted into the fitting hole 26 of the holder 2o, the holder 2o rotates and its tip 201L comes into contact with the main body circumferential side 32, and as a result, this Or it could lead to damage to the entire device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a juicer that solves these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a relief groove in the fitting portion of the arm with the holder.

Effects According to the above configuration, when trying to insert and set the holder into the arm, the fitting area is reduced by the relief groove, so there is less chance of prying, and the area where it can stick is also small, so the holder can be inserted into the arm. can be easily attached and detached. Furthermore, if the insertion and setting are not completed completely, the relief groove will cause play in the fitting part, causing the holder to wobble, and as a result, it will be easy for the user to notice that the setting is incomplete. It is something.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is the main body, and this main body 1
An electric motor 2 and a speed reduction mechanism section 3 are built in. On both sides of the main body 1 are rotatably driven by the electric motor 2,
A pair of cam mechanism parts 4 are provided in a protruding manner, and a fruit holder 6 is detachably provided on an arm 5 which protrudes from the cam mechanism part 4. On the trajectory of the side surface of the main body 1 along which the holder 6 rotates, a squeezer 77 is provided which is rotationally driven by the electric motor 2 and which squeezes the fruit. 8 is a cover that covers the side and top surfaces of the main body 1;
9 is an input port into which fruits are input. Further, a cutter 10 for cutting the fruit in half is provided above the main body 1. The holder 6 also includes a mounting bracket 13 that is supported by the bottle 11 and has a hole 12, a spring 14 that biases the mounting bracket 13, and a cylindrical fitting hole am that fits into the arm 6. On the other hand, the arm 6 having the escape groove 51L is provided with a fixing pin 15 that engages with the hole 12 of the mounting fitting 13 to fix the holder 6 to the arm 6.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a slide bin which is slid by the arm 60 portion by the cam mechanism 4, 17 is a coil spring, and 18 is opened and closed by the movement of the slide bin 16 to hold the fruit in the holder 6 or to discharge it from the holder 6. A pair of pawls 19 are plate springs that exert spring force during opening movement against the closing movement of the pair of pawls 18.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained next.

First, when a user puts a whole fruit such as an orange into the input port 9, the fruit is transferred to the cutter 1 by the rotational movement of the holder 6.
After being pushed toward 0 and cut in half, it is held in the holder 6 by the action of the pair of claws 18.

When the holder 6 reaches the position of the aperture cone 7, the inner surface of the holder 6 is moved by the cam mechanism 4 so as to be pressed against the aperture cone 7, so that the holder 6 is squeezed. The holder 6 is removable from the arm 5 due to the need for cleaning. When inserting and setting the holder 6 into the arm 6, insert the holder 6 into the arm 6 all the way and attach it to the mounting bracket. The hole 12 of 13 and the fixing bottle 16 are engaged and fixed.

In this case, if the tab insertion set is incomplete during insertion, the holder 6 will become loose due to the action of the relief groove 51L of the arm 6, so the user can easily determine that the set is incomplete. It is. In addition, when removing the holder e from the arm 6, attach the fixing bottle 15 and the mounting bracket A.
13 is disengaged from the hole 12 and the holder 6 is removed. In this case, since the fitting area that can be stuck is small, the sticking by fruit juice is weak, and as a result, it can be pulled out relatively easily. Note that the relief groove 5a may have a tapered shape as shown in FIG. Any shape that causes .

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the juicer of the present invention has a relief groove in the fitting portion of the arm with the holder, so that the holder can be easily inserted into and removed from the arm. In addition, if the insertion set of the holder is not fully inserted into the arm, the holder will wobble due to the relief groove, so even a part-time worker or other user who is not familiar with the equipment can easily detect an incomplete insertion set. As a result,
Damage to equipment can also be prevented.
