Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking machine, in which a spiral rotating body is rotated within the main body of the cooking machine to cut and squeeze the material to be cooked that is input from the input port of the main body. This invention relates to a dregs discharge structure for a cooking machine, in which the dregs liquid is caused to flow out from a dregs discharge opening of a main body, and the dregs are discharged from a dregs discharge port opened at the tip side of the main body.

Technical background of the invention and its problems A spiral rotating body cuts and compresses the material to be cooked, which is fed through the input port of the main body of the cooking machine, and transfers the material.
In a cooking machine in which the extracted juices are passed through a filter and flowed out from the juice outlet opening opened on the bottom of the main body, and the grounds are discharged from the scraps discharge port opened at the tip of the main body, It has been difficult to keep the gap between the outer periphery of the rotating body and the outer periphery of the rotating body a uniform minute gap, and if the gap between the inner surface of the main body and the outer periphery of the rotating body is narrowed, the outer periphery of the rotating body will slide against the inner surface of the main body. There is a risk of rubbing. For this reason, in the past, in this type of cooking machine, it was not possible to narrow the gap between the inner surface of the main body and the outer periphery of the rotating body, and the scraps of the cooking material transferred by the rotating body were removed by the rotation of the rotating body. However, the dregs are not discharged from the dregs discharge port at the tip of the main body, and the dregs impregnate the extracted dregs, resulting in a reduction in the efficiency of squeezing the dregs.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking machine in which the dregs are reliably discharged from the dregs discharge port of the main body of the cooking machine, and the juice extraction efficiency is improved.

Summary of the Invention The present invention has an inlet at the proximal end, a juice outflow opening with a removably attached filter on the lower surface, a waste outlet at the distal end, and a substantially cylindrical inner surface. The main body of the cooking machine is rotatably mounted on a shaft within the main body, and the material to be cooked that is input from the input port is cut and compressed while being transferred to the tip side, flowing out from the juice outlet opening, and the scraps are removed. a spiral rotary body to be discharged from the outlet, and a projecting edge is provided on the inner surface of the main body at the upper edge of the waste discharge port downstream in the rotational direction of the rotary body, and a projecting edge is formed on the outer periphery of the rotary body. A small gap is maintained between the two to protrude, and the projecting edges ensure that the dregs are discharged from the dregs discharge port, thereby increasing the efficiency of squeezing juice.

4 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 33.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A liner 5 is attached to the rotating shaft 33 on the base end side of the rotating body 32.
3 and the packing 54, and the bearing 3 of the lid body 24 is fitted.
1, the locking protrusion 35 of the rotating shaft 33 is engaged with the groove 65 formed in the rotating shaft 33, and the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the bearing 31.
The rotating shaft 33 is rotated halfway through the groove 65 to cause the locking protrusion to protrude from the bearing 31. Next, the rotating body 32 passing through the rotating shaft 33 is inserted through the base end opening 25 of the main body 9 and rotated, so that the rotating body 32 penetrates the threaded groove 2 of the lid body 24.
6 is screwed into the thread 23 of the main body 9 to close the opening 25, the rotating shaft 33 is mounted on the bearings 22, 31, and the packing 54 surrounds the bearing 31 in a slightly compressed state and surrounds the groove 65. The polygonal rotating shaft 33 and the bearing 31 are held liquid-tight, and the packing 54 is prevented from being deformed by the liner 53 when the rotating shaft 33 rotates. In this state, the clamp locking protrusion 29 of the fitting cylinder portion 30 of the lid body 24 is inserted through the insertion portion 48 of the clamp body 44 and rotated, thereby locking the locking edge 47.
The clamp locking protrusion 29 locks in. In this state, the coupling portion 34 of the rotary shaft 33 abuts against and is engaged with the coupling hole 6 of the output shaft 5. That is, the lid body 24 is pressed toward the base body 1 by the elastic body 49, the coupling portion 34 abuts the coupling hole 6, and the gap between the tip of the rotating body 32 and the tip of the main body 9 is maintained constant. A guard rib 14 is located at a portion where the cutting edge portion 36 of the rotating body 32 is exposed to the youth outlet opening 13.

In this state, the switch button 62 is closed and the electric motor 2
When driven, the output shaft 5 of the reduction gear transmission mechanism 4 is rotated, and the coupling hole 6 and the coupling part 3 are rotated.
4, the rotating shaft 33 is rotated, and the rotating body 32 is rotated.

In this state, when the material to be cooked is put into the input port 10 and pressed with the push rod 12, the material to be cooked is transferred to the rotating body 3.
While being cut by the second cutting blade part 36, it is transferred to the tip side of the rotating body 32 by the spiral cutting blade part 36. Then, the cut material to be cooked is sent to a pressing section 37 having a spiral wing section 41 continuous to the spiral cutting blade section 36 . Since the difference in diameter between the troughs 42 and ridges 43 of the spiral wing 41 gradually decreases toward the tip side, this pressing section 37 sequentially compresses powder sand between the inner surface of the main body 9 and the troughs 42. The extracted liquid passes through the small hole 16 of the filter 17 in the lower juice outflow opening 13 and is dripped into the juice container 7.

Further, the waste transferred to the tip of the main body 9 is discharged from the discharge port 20 which is opened downstream from the youth outlet opening 13 with respect to the rotational direction of the rotating body 32. This sludge is reliably removed from the sludge discharge port 20 by a protruding edge 20a that is projected from the upper edge on the downstream side of the sludge discharge port 20 with a small gap from the trough 42 of the wing portion 41 of the rotating body 32. It is discharged.

Since the peaks 40 of the cutting blade section 36 of the rotating body 32 and the peaks 43 of the pressing section 37 are in contact with the filter 17, a film surface of the material to be cooked is not formed on the surface of the filter 17, and extraction of the juice liquid is prevented. This is done smoothly and there is no clogging, and the material to be cooked can be transferred smoothly. Also, the small hole 1 of the filter 17
Since a gap 18 is formed between the outer surface of the filter 17, the inner surface of the main body 9, and the guard rib 14, the juice liquid dripped into the filter 6 drips from the youth outlet opening 13 without accumulating. Further, when the internal pressure increases due to the material to be cooked in the main body 9, the filter 17 is deformed by its elasticity into the gap 18 between the filter 17 and the inner surface of the main body 9, and the contact between the filter 17 and the rotating body 32 causes the filter 17 to become a synthetic resin. The rotary body 32, which has been molded by molding, will not be shaved, and the filter 17 will not be deformed.

Further, since the clamp locking protrusion 29 of the lid body 24 screwed onto the main body 9 is clamped to the clamp body 44 elastically held on the gear case 3 via the elastic body 49, the main body 9 is Even if an external force is applied, it is buffered by the elastic body 49, and it is possible to prevent unreasonable force from acting on the base body 1.

Next, when cleaning after cooking, remove the lid 24 from the clamp body 44 of the base 1, and then remove the lid 24 from the clamp body 44 of the base 1.
When the cover body 24 is loosened in the direction of unscrewing from the main body 9, the cover body 24 sequentially moves in the direction of being removed from the main body 9, and the position of the bearing 31 of the cover body 24 is aligned with the locking protrusion 3 of the rotating shaft 33.
When reaching position 5, the locking protrusion 35 engages with the groove 65 of the bearing 31. When the lid 24 is further loosened, the rotating shaft 33 is rotated together with the lid 24, and the rotating shaft 33 is rotated together with the lid 24.
The rotational force is also transmitted to 2, and even if the material to be cooked is wedged between the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body 32 and the main body 9, the rotary body 32 is rotated in the opposite direction to the feeding direction of the material to be cooked, The material to be cooked between the rotary body 32 and the main body 9 becomes loose, and the rotary body 32 is easily removed, and the force required to unscrew the lid 24 is small, and when the lid 24 is unscrewed, the rotary body 32 can be removed from the main body 9. And the screw groove 2 of the lid body 24
6 is removed from the thread 23 of the main body 9, and the lid body 2 is removed.
4 outward, the rotating body 32 is removed from the opening 25 of the main body 9.

When the rotating body 32 is held in this state and the lid body 24 is rotated in the opposite direction, the locking protrusion 35 engages with the groove portion 65 and slides off, and the rotating shaft 33 is separated from the lid body 24 and the main body 9 The rotating body 32 and the lid body 24 are cleaned respectively.

In addition, if you forget to attach the filter 17 after washing the filter 17 and use it, even if you rotate the rotating body 32, the guard rib 14 is bridged at the position of the cutting blade 36, and your fingers etc. will touch the cutting blade 36. There is no risk of it being touched.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the protrusion is positioned at the upper edge of the waste discharge port on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the spiral rotating body that cuts and presses the material to be cooked on the inner surface of the cooking machine main body. Since it is made to protrude with a small gap between it and the outer circumference of the body, it is difficult to maintain a minute gap between the entire inner circumference of the body and the outer circumference of the rotating body.
Even if the gap between the inner surface of the main body and the outer periphery of the rotating body is widened to such an extent that the rotating body does not come into contact with the inner surface of the main body, the dross is moved back into the main body by the rotating body by the ridge on the downstream side of the discharge port. It is discharged from the waste outlet,
The dregs is reliably discharged without containing the dregs extracted by squeezing, and the dregs are discharged after the dregs have flowed out at the location of the dwarf outflow opening, improving the efficiency of squeezing the dregs. It is something.
