A conventional vertical centrifugal juicer (eg, Korean Patent No. 1013504) includes a screw structure in which juice objects such as fruits and vegetables are inserted and cut, transported, pulverized, and compressed. The screw structure is provided on the inside of the drum, and includes a juicer network, and juice is juiced by the rotation of the screw assembly in the process of passing between the juicer network and the drum. Among the juice objects, the juice that the user wants to drink and the remaining pulp, which is the remaining residue, are separately collected at the lower part of the drum and are separated and discharged through each outlet. In some cases, the juice net is not provided in the screw assembly, and a separate juice net may be provided between the drum and the screw assembly.

However, the juice net is included in the screw assembly of the conventional juicer, or the juice net is provided between the drum and the screw assembly. The user wants to clean the pulp stuck between the juice nets when the juice is complete. In order to clean the juice network, take out the screw assembly, turn it over, and put your hand inside to wash it. .

In addition, depending on the user, there is a case in which only the juiced water is required or the pulp is required together with the juice in order to drink the juice having a better texture like the conventional juicer. Even when preparing beverages such as smoothies or milkshakes or mincing garlic using a juicer, it is preferable that the pulp is discharged together with the juice instead of being discharged separately. However, in the conventional juicer, juice and pulp are inevitably separated, and these various preferences of the user cannot be satisfied.

That is, the juice object is divided into juice and pulp by rotational force in the process of passing through the screw assembly 200, and the juice flows downward from the inside of the screw assembly 200 through a mesh network 276 to be described later. After that, while flowing along the second guide groove 112, it is discharged to the outside of the juicer through the juice discharge hole 130 and the juice flow pipe 131, and the pulp does not pass through the mesh network 276 and the screw assembly After flowing downward along the outer surface of 200 , it flows along the first guide groove 111 and is discharged to the outside of the juicer through the pulp discharge hole 120 and the pulp flow pipe 121 .

On the other hand, the pulp flow pipe 121 has an elastic packing member (not shown) that functions to open the pulp flow pipe 121 only when the pulp is accumulated to some extent so that the pulp is discharged at once in the initial stage of juicing to prevent the loss of the juice rate. More may be provided.

It is preferable that the upper part of the main body 300 is formed to a size corresponding to the bottom surface of the drum 100 and is fitted and coupled to the lower part of the drum 100 .

Next, the screw assembly 200 according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6 .

The screw assembly 200 according to the present invention, unlike the prior art, adopts a double mesh network 276 rather than a single mesh network, and the user can use either the first mesh network 276A or the second mesh network 276B. The juice mode can be adjusted by rotating one relative to the other.

The screw assembly 200 includes an upper assembly 250 and a lower assembly 270 . The upper assembly 250 and the lower assembly 270 are preferably coupled to each other in a detachable manner, but may be integrally manufactured.

The rotation shaft 210 is positioned at the center of the assembly upper 250 and the lower assembly 270 to pass through. As described above, the rotational force is transmitted to the rotation shaft 210 by the rotation member, and the screw assembly 200 rotates by the rotation of the rotation shaft to juice the juice object.

A juice blade 251 is provided on the outer surface of the upper assembly 250 . The juice blade 251 is provided in the form of a screw, and when the object to be juiced is put into the juice screw assembly, the crushing and squeezing action is performed by the juice blade to separate the juice and the pulp, and the separated juice and the pulp are squeezed in a screw type. It flows downward along the blade 251.

A plurality of protrusions 253 are provided on the lower surface of the upper assembly 250 . The protrusion 253 has a structure that can be inserted into the connection groove 273 provided on the upper surface of the lower assembly 270 to be described later.

That is, after the user removes the upper assembly 250 and the lower assembly 270 , the double mesh network 276 may be mounted on the lower assembly 270 , and may be removed by performing the reverse process.

The first mesh network (276A) and the second mesh network (276B) each has a plurality of holes, through which only the juice passes and the pulp does not pass through. By the mesh network, the juice and the pulp separated from the outside of the screw assembly 200 are divided into a first guide groove 111 and a second guide groove 112 by dividing the double mesh network 276 as a boundary to flow. do.

The first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B may have the same mesh shape, but may be slightly different only in size so that they can overlap. That is, it is preferable that the size and spacing of the holes of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B are the same. Of course, if the user's adjustment is smooth, it is not necessarily the same, for example, the hole spacing of the first mesh network 276A may be configured to be twice larger than the hole spacing of the second mesh network 276B.

Meanwhile, the user may relatively rotate the first mesh network 276A with respect to the second mesh network 276B. This rotation is possible even in the state in which the double mesh network 276 is mounted, and of course it is possible even in the state in which it is removed.

According to the relative movement of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B, the degree of perforation of the double mesh network 276 made of these can be adjusted.

When the holes are completely overlapped as in <A> of FIG. 6 (hereinafter, "first mode"), the juice and the pulp are clearly distinguished as in a conventional general juicer, so that the juice and the pulp are separated and discharged.

As in <B> of FIG. 6, when each hole partially overlaps (hereinafter, "second mode"), the distinction between juice and pulp is not clearer than in a conventional general juicer, and some will be mixed and discharged.

As in <C> of FIG. 6 , when the holes do not overlap at all (hereinafter, “third mode”), the juice and the pulp are not separated at all and will be discharged together.

In other words, the user can control the degree of separation of the juice and the pulp by adjusting the degree of perforation according to the relative movement of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B.

Another embodiment of the present invention not shown will be described.

Another embodiment of the present invention, unlike the previous embodiment, the juicer screw assembly does not consist of a single body, but is an embodiment in which a separately separated mandrum is located between the screw assembly and the drum, and in some cases, separately It is an embodiment of a juicer in a traditional way that further includes a separate brush.

In this embodiment, unlike in the previous embodiment, the juice flows downward along the outer surface of the mesh mesh of the mesh drum after passing through the mesh network and is discharged, and the pulp does not pass through the mesh network, so the screw assembly and the mesh It flows downward between the drums and is discharged. That is, in the previous embodiment, the juice is discharged from the radially inner side and the pulp is discharged from the radially outer side, as opposed to that the juice is discharged from the radially outer side, and the pulp is discharged from the radially inner side.

The mesh network used here may be a double mesh network as in the previous embodiment. Even in this case, the user can adjust the juice mode by changing the degree of perforation by moving one mesh network relative to the other mesh network.

2. Description of the operation process of the juicer 500

Hereinafter, the operation of the juicer 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When power is applied to the juicer 500 by turning on the switch 330 of the juicer 500, the rotating member inside the main body 300 is driven, and the prismatic shaft 310 provided therein rotates to rotate the prismatic shaft 310. The rotational force is transmitted to the rotation shaft 210 connected to.

As the rotation shaft 210 rotates, the screw assembly 200 coupled thereto rotates within the drum 100 and the operation of the juicer 500 is started.

When the juicer 500 is operated, the juice object is injected using the injection rod 12 through the injection port 11 formed in the cover 10, and the injected juice object reaches the screw assembly 200 and the screw assembly 200 ) is crushed and compressed.

The first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B of the double mesh network 276 are completely overlapped so that each hole overlaps the same, and the first mode with the largest degree of perforation will be described. This is the case when the user wants to separate the juice from the pulp like a conventional general juicer.

After separating the screw assembly 200 from the juicer 500, the user adjusts the relative positions of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B as shown in <A> of FIG. set to overlap.

The juice object injected through the injection hole 11 was divided into juice and pulp by the screw assembly 200 , and both the juice and the pulp flow downward along the outer surface of the screw assembly 200 .

When the juice reaches the double mesh network 276, the second guide groove 112, the juice discharge hole 130, and the juice flow pipe 131 are sequentially passed through it and flows downward from the inside of the screw assembly 200. passed through and discharged to the outside.

Since the pulp does not pass through the hole of the double mesh network 276, the first guide groove 111, the pulp discharge hole 120, and the pulp flow pipe 121 are sequentially flowed from the outside of the screw assembly 200 downward. passed through and discharged to the outside.

The third mode in which the holes of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B of the double mesh network 276 do not overlap and there is no degree of perforation will be described. This is a case in which the user does not want the juice and the pulp to be separated, unlike the conventional general juicer. This is when you want smoothies, milkshakes, sherbet, etc., or you are mincing garlic.

After separating the screw assembly 200 from the juicer 500, the user adjusts the relative positions of the first mesh network 276A and the second mesh network 276B as shown in <C> of FIG. It is set so that there is no degree of perforation because it does not overlap.

As in the first mode, the juice object injected through the injection port 11 is divided into juice water and pulp by the screw assembly 200 , and both the juice material and the pulp flow downward along the outer surface of the screw 250 .

Since neither the juiced water nor the pulp passes through the double mesh network 276, the first guide groove 111, the pulp discharge hole 120, and the pulp flow pipe 121 by flowing together from the outside of the screw assembly 200 downward. It passes through sequentially and is discharged together to the outside.

Since the second mode is intermediate between the first mode and the third mode, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
