Description

Juicer {Juicer}

The present disclosure relates to a juicer.

The content described in this section merely provides background information for the present disclosure and does not constitute the prior art.

Existing juicers put ingredients into the input port and crush them at high speed to make juice by centrifugal separation. It was difficult to make juice, and it was difficult to make juice from fruits such as kiwi or strawberry with high viscosity, and it was impossible to make soy milk from soybeans. And if you continue to make juice, you have to disassemble the device from time to time and wash it in order to remove the debris stuck in the manghole.

Maintaining cleanliness inside a food processing machine is an essential condition, and cleaning and cleaning must be performed smoothly. If there is food or dirt inside the device, it is easily decomposed and bacteria can grow.

However, in the existing juicers, when discharging the remnants to the outside of the juicer, the flow path guiding the remnants is formed outside the screw, or the remnants are discharged directly to the side wall, so that the cleaning of the juicer is difficult. It is not easy, and there is a problem in that a compact structure cannot be provided.

In addition, some uncut residues may be generated from residues containing tough fibers. When uncut residues are accumulated at the bottom of the screw, the screw floats upward, thereby narrowing the space of the inlet, and there is a problem in that the upper end of the screw is worn.

Accordingly, the present disclosure is intended to solve these problems, and a main object of the present disclosure is to provide a compact juicer that is easy to clean and has a smaller size and weight than a conventional juicer.

In addition, another main object of the present disclosure is to smoothly discharge the debris by designing a flow path so that the debris is discharged down the side.

In addition, the present disclosure is designed so that the annular protrusion protrudes outside the juice network when the screw and the juice network are combined, thereby preventing the screw from floating upward and preventing wear of the upper end of the screw.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure for achieving this object, a body including a motor drive shaft; a cover part into which the user puts the material; a drum coupled to the main body and the cover part, the residue outlet and the juice outlet being spaced apart from each other; a screw mounted vertically on the motor drive shaft, forming a screw thread on an outer circumferential surface, and including an annular protrusion at a lower end thereof; and a juice network formed to protrude from one side of the bottom surface and communicate with the waste outlet, and a juice network formed to surround the screw thread by coupling a screw therein It provides a juicer, characterized in that exposed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the flow path for guiding the residue is formed in connection with the upper surface of the annular protrusion, so it is easy to clean, and the size and weight of the juicer are compactly reduced There is an effect of providing a juice structure. .

In addition, by designing the flow path so that the dregs are discharged to the lower side, there is an effect of smoothly discharging the dregs.

In addition, when the screw and the juice net are combined, the annular protrusion is designed to protrude out of the juice network, thereby preventing the screw from floating upward and preventing abrasion of the upper end of the screw.
