Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a juicer that crushes vegetables, fruits, etc. and centrifugally separates the juice.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, this type of juicer, as shown in FIG. There is a separation cage 5 connected to and rotated by the rotating shaft 4 of the electric motor 1. Inside the separation cage 5, a filter 7 having a large number of thin slits 6 is provided. A flat cutter 9 with a blade 8 on the top surface is fixed, and the material is poured into the cutter 9 through an input port 11 provided in a container lid 10 that covers the upper opening of the container 3.
and is configured to press the material against the cutter 9 with a push rod 12.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention - In the conventional juicer, the crushed material crushed by the cutter 9 scatters to the side of the cutter 9 and adheres to the inside of the filter 7 as shown in FIG. A layer W of an object is formed. Then, the juice passes through the layer W of the pulverized material and the slit 6 of the filter 7, passes between the separation basket 6 and the filter 7, and is discharged into the container 3.

At this time, if the width of the slit 60 of the filter 7 is wide, the crushed material will enter the slit 6, and there will be no place for the juice to flow, so the filter 7 will not function as a filter and the juice will not be separated. Therefore, the width of the slit 6 cannot be made narrower due to processing reasons, so the width of the slit 6 is approximately 0.5 m. Therefore, there is a layer W of crushed material inside the filter 7.
Until it is formed, the pulverized material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the filter slit 6 together with the juice liquid. Even though I wanted to drink clear juice, I couldn't. In addition, since the fibrous material of the pulverized material is caught between the slits 6 of the filter 7, the layer W of the pulverized material stuck to the inside of the filter 7 is difficult to separate when cleaning up after use. The problem was that it became complicated.

The juicer of the present invention solves these problems, and is capable of producing juices with little fiber content and juices with a certain amount of fiber content according to preference, and also makes it easy to clean up the crushed product after use. With the goal.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an inner cylinder removably attached to the inside of a separation cylinder in which a plurality of protrusions are provided on the cylindrical inner wall. The tube is constructed by connecting a large number of ribs at intervals, each of which has a groove on the outside through which the juice flows, and forms a filter in the gap between the tube and the inner wall of the separation basket. The inner cylinder can be freely switched between a position where the protrusions and the ribs overlap and a position where the protrusions are between the ribs.

Effect: With this configuration, the gap between the filters is large at the position where the ribs of the inner cylinder overlap with the protrusions, and the gap between the filters is small at the position where the protrusions are between the ribs. In addition to being able to make different types of juices, such as juices with a lot of fiber content and juices with less fiber content, the number of ribs is smaller than that of conventional products, which makes it easier to separate the crushed substances adhering to the inner cylinder, making it easier to clean.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 6. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes an electric motor built into a main body 14, and a container 16 is provided on the main body 14 in a detachable manner.
It has a cylindrical separation cylinder 17 which is coupled to and rotated,
A plurality of annular projections 18 are provided on the inner wall of the separation cylinder 17 at regular intervals. An inner cylinder 19 is removably fitted inside the separation cylinder 17. This inner cylinder 19
is constructed by connecting a large number of ribs 21 at intervals, each having a groove 20 through which the juice flows on the outside, and a gap 22 between the rib 21 and the inner wall of the separating cylinder 17.
forms a filter. The gap 22 is formed by the rib 21
This can be easily formed by providing a protrusion at the portion facing the separating cylinder 17, but a gap naturally formed due to dimensional accuracy during processing may be used without providing a protrusion. The separation tube 17 and the inner tube 19 can be bayonet connected between a protrusion 23 provided on the inner tube 19 and a notch 24 provided in the separation tube 17. Bayonet joints of this separation cylinder 17 are provided at four locations every 9oO,
Assuming that 30 inner baskets with 19 cylinders are provided every 12 degrees,
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, by changing the bayonet connection between the separating tube 17 and the inner tube 19 by 900 degrees, the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separating tube 17 comes between the ribs 21 (
(Fig. 4) and when the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separation cylinder 17 and the rib 21 overlap (Fig. 5). In addition to the above settings, when the inner cylinder 19 has 36 ribs every 10', the notches 24 provided in the separation cylinder 17 are set at 8 places every 45 degrees, and the inner cylinder 19 and the separation cylinder By changing the connection of 17 by 460, the protrusion 1 on the inner wall of the separation cylinder 17
8 is located between the ribs 21 and the separation cylinder 17
It is possible to switch between cases in which the protrusions 18 and the ribs 21 on the inner wall overlap. In short, it is only necessary to switch between the case where the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separation cage 17 is between the ribs 21 and the case where the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separated liquid 17 and the rib 21 overlap, and there are no particular limitations on the means for doing so. It is not something that will be done.

25 is a cutter fixed to the inner bottom of the separation liquid 17;
A blade 26 is provided on the top surface, and a material is supplied onto the cutter 25 through an input port 28 provided in a container lid 27 that covers the upper opening of the container 16, and a push rod 29 is used to push the material into the cutter 25. It is configured to be pressed.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, when making clear juice, as shown in FIG.
The inner cylinder 19 is fitted inside the separated liquid 17 so that the inner cylinder 8 is positioned. Then, this separated liquid 17 is connected to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 protruding into the container 15, the container lid 27 is closed, the electric motor 13 is driven, and the material is inputted from the input port 28 and pushed in with the push rod 29, and the material is separated. The material is crushed by the blade 26 of the cutter 26 provided at the inner bottom of the liquid 17. The pulverized material flies to the side of the cutter 25 and adheres to the inner wall of the inner tube 19 and the separation liquid 17 as shown in FIG. 6, forming a layer W' of the pulverized material.

The juice liquid then passes through the layer W' of the pulverized material, the gap 22 between the inner cylinder 19 and the separated liquid 17, passes through the groove 20 provided on the outside of the rib 21 of the inner cylinder 19, and is interlocked with this. The separated liquid 17 is discharged from the upper end into the container 15 through the groove 19a of the inner cylinder 19. In this case, since there is no protrusion 18 of the separated liquid 17 between the inner wall of the separated liquid 17 and the rib 21 of the inner cylinder 19, the gap 22 is formed narrowly, so that no fibers are mixed in and a clear juice liquid is obtained. can be obtained.

Next, when making a juice containing some fiber, as shown in FIG.
Fit the inner cylinder 19 inside the separated liquid 17 so that the parts 8 overlap, set the separated liquid 17 in the same way as when making clear juice, and put the ingredients into the input port 28 to make juice. A larger gap is created between the ribs 21 of the inner cylinder 19 on the inner wall of the basket 17 than in the case of FIG. It passes through the groove 2o on the outside of the rib 21 and mixes into the juice liquid. In this case, how much fiber is mixed into the juice can be arbitrarily determined by the height of the projections 18.

As shown in Figures e and 7, even if the number of ribs 21 on the inner cylinder 19 in the juicer of the present invention is reduced to half the number of filters 70 in the conventional juicer, the number of gaps 22 (slits 6 in the conventional juicer) is can be made the same (sections A to D), and the amount of pure liquid excluding fiber in the juice liquid can be made the same as that of a conventional juicer.

Next, after use, open the container lid 27 and insert the inner tube 19 into the separated liquid 1.
Remove from 7. In this case, the layer W' of the pulverized material is attached to the many ribs 21 of the inner cylinder 19 and the separated liquid 17;
When the pulverized material layer W' is removed, most of the layer W' of the crushed material is the rib 21 of the inner cylinder 19.
It comes off while still attached to the . Then, after this, inner cylinder 1
In this case, it is difficult to remove the crushed material layer W' that has adhered to the layer W' as shown in FIG. When the pitch of the ribs of the inner cylinder 19 is doubled (the number of ribs is halved), the adhesion force of the layer W' of the crushed material is halved. Therefore, when the inner cylinder 19 is strongly shaken, the adhering layer W' of the pulverized material is peeled off as the layer of pulverized material that is not attached to the ribs 21 of the inner cylinder 19 is moved, and the removal is removed. removed. After that, even if it is fitted into the separation cage 17 again and operated, no vibration will occur because almost no layer of pulverized material has adhered thereto. Further, even when the inner cylinder 19 is washed with water, it can be easily done. In particular, since the distance between the ribs 21 is large, cleaning can be easily performed by simply moving the inner cylinder 19 in the water bucket.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the juicer of the present invention has the following features.

(1) Since a filter is formed between the inner wall of the separation cage and the ribs of the inner cylinder, it is possible to easily set the gap in processing even if the gap is 0.5 fin or less, and as a result, fibers are mixed into the juice liquid. It is possible to obtain a clear juice liquid with a small amount of fiber, and by making the internal ribs and the protrusions of the separating basket overlap and increasing the gap between the inner wall of the separating basket and the ribs, it is possible to create juice with a certain amount of fiber mixed in according to your preference. be able to.

(2) Even if the number of ribs is smaller than that of conventional juicers, it is possible to form two gaps for each rib to perform a filtering action, so the crushed material can be removed from the inside without reducing the juice rate. The ribs can be separated easily, and the ribs are widely spaced, making it extremely easy to clean the inside.
