Juice discharging cap, juice discharging assembly and juicer {JUICE DISCHARGING CAP, JUICE DISCHARGING ASSEMBLY, AND JUICE SQUEEZING EXTRACTOR)}

The present invention relates to a juice outlet cap, a juice outlet assembly, and a juicer.

For a healthy life, more and more people make and eat green juice or fruit juice, and accordingly, the demand for a juicer that can easily extract juice from vegetables or fruits at home is rapidly increasing.

Juicers can be largely divided into high-speed mixers and centrifugal types that crush materials at high speed to make them liquid, and low-speed compression types that compress materials using a screw rotating at low speed to produce juice. Separable type juicers are difficult to make juice from fruits with high viscosity, such as kiwi or strawberries, or green juice from vegetables composed of stems and leaves. Juicers are becoming mainstream.

In a conventional low-speed compression type juicer, the juice extracted from the material by the high pressure applied from the juicer is generally separated from the residue by a drum net-type filter in which a plurality of net holes are formed, and the separated juice is hinged. The juice is discharged to the outside through the juice discharge port that is opened and closed by the discharge cap. Accordingly, in the existing juicers, debris is easily caught in the drum network during the juice extraction process, making it difficult to clean. There was a problem that acts as a cause of machine failure.

According to one example, the drum wall 1464 may include a lower wall 1464a, a connection wall 1464b, and an upper wall 1464c. The lower wall 1464a may extend upward from the outer circumference of the lower plate 1461 by a predetermined height. In addition, the connection wall 1464b may extend from an upper end of the lower wall 1464a toward an outer direction of the rotation shaft. Also, the upper wall 1464c may extend upward from the outer circumference of the connection wall 1464b.

Accordingly, a step may be formed in the lower part of the drum wall 1464 .

Due to this step, the separation distance between the drum wall 1464 and the sidewall 1425 of the housing 1420 in the outer space can be formed relatively close at the upper side wall 1425 and relatively far at the lower side wall 1425. Accordingly, the outer space may be provided as a relatively large space at the lower wall 1425 so as to accommodate the juice extracted from the material and passing through the drum network 1460 and moving from the inner space to the outer space.

In addition, a dreg groove 1465 may be formed between the lower wall 1464a of the drum wall 1464 and the outer ring 1463b. In the dregs groove 1465 , dregs of ingredients remaining after juice is extracted may be collected.

The garbage collected in the garbage groove 1465 may be discharged to the outside through the garbage outlet 1427 . The waste outlet 1427 may be formed on one side of at least one of the lower plate 1461 and the lower wall 1464a of the drum wall 1464 to communicate with the waste discharge port of the housing 1420 .

The dregs collected in the dregs groove 1465 may rotate along the dregs groove 1465 while being pushed by the dregs processing jaw 1447 of the screw 1440 as the screw 1440 rotates. When it reaches the dregs outlet 1427 in the process of rotating along, it flows into the dregs outlet 1427 and can be discharged to the outside through the dregs discharge port 1427a.

A dregs handling ring 1446 may be formed on the lower surface of the screw 1440 to the outside of the seating protrusion 1445 . The debris handling ring 1446 may be inserted into the debris groove 1465. Here, the portion where the waste disposal ring 1446 meets the screw blade 1442 is recessed toward the center of the rotating shaft along the extension direction of the screw blade 1442, and accordingly, the waste processing ring 1446 is cut at the cut portion. A processing jaw 1447 may be formed. Therefore, as the screw 1440 rotates, the dregs transported downward along the screw blade 1442 can be collected in the dregs groove 1465 through the incision of the dregs handling ring 1446, and in the dregs groove 1465. The collected dregs can be moved to the dregs outlet 1427 while rotating in the direction of rotation of the screw 1440 by the dregs processing jaw 1447 .

Grinding blades 1467a and b may be formed on the drum wall 1464 of the drum network 1460 . The grinding blades 1467 may protrude from the inner surface of the drum wall 1464 in a direction toward the axis of rotation of the screw 1440 . In addition, the grinding blades 1467 may be formed along the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464 from the bottom to the top of the drum net 1460. For example, the grinding blades 1467 may be formed to extend upward from the lower end of the upper wall 1464c of the drum wall 1464 .

The crushing blade 1467 may crush material introduced into the drum net 1460 from the drum wall 1464 . The material injected into the drum net 1460 is compressed between the grinding blade 1467 and the screw blade 1442 or between the grinding blade 1467 and the screw body 1441 during the process of being transported downward along the screw blade 1442. The juice can be excreted during the receiving process. As a result, it can be said that juice extraction is performed by interlocking the grinding blade 1467 of the drum wall 1464 and the screw 1440.

Also, the grinding blade 1467 may include a first grinding blade 1467a and a second grinding blade 1467b.

The first grinding blades 1467a may be formed to a higher height than the second grinding blades 1467b inside the drum wall 1464 . For example, the first grinding blade 1467a may be formed from the bottom to the top of the upper wall 1464c. The first grinding blade 1467a, which is formed higher than the second grinding blade 1467b, may serve to primarily grind the material before the second grinding blade 1467b extracts juice from the material. . In addition, the first grinding blade 1467a may also serve to guide the material so that the material is transported to the bottom of the juice extracting unit 1400 .

For example, the height at which the first grinding blade 1467a protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464 toward the rotation axis may be constant from top to bottom. As another example, the protruding height of the first grinding blade 1467a from the inner circumferential surface may be lower than the protruding height of the upper portion and the lower protruding height of the first grinding blade 1467a. For example, the first grinding blade 1467a has a first protruding portion protruding at a first protruding height on its upper side, and a second protruding portion protruding at a second protruding height smaller than the first protruding height on its lower side. And it may be provided in a form including a stepped portion connecting the first protruding portion to the second protruding portion.

Meanwhile, although the drawings show that the first grinding blades 1467a are formed in a vertical direction along the inner circumferential surface, the direction in which the first grinding blades 1467a are formed does not necessarily have to be a vertical direction, for example, the inner circumferential direction is vertical. It can be appropriately changed as needed as it is formed in an inclined shape with respect to the direction. Similarly, the number or arrangement of the first grinding blades 1467a can be appropriately changed as needed.

The second grinding blades 1467b may be formed to a relatively lower height than the first grinding blades 1467a. For example, the second grinding blade 1467b may be formed to extend from the lower end of the upper wall 1464c to the stepped portion of the first grinding blade 1467a. Accordingly, the second pulverizing blade 1467b may secondarily juice the material transported to the lower portion of the inner space of the drum net 1460 by the first pulverizing blade 1467a.

A relatively greater number of second grinding blades 1467b than the first grinding blades 1467a may be installed. Accordingly, the second pulverizing blade 1467b can more finely pulverize the material conveyed downward.

Due to the above-described interaction between the crushing blade 1467 of the drum network 1460 and the screw 1440, the juice extracted from the material in the inner space can move to the outer space through the separation hole 1468 formed in the drum network. .

It may be formed to communicate the inner space and the outer space to the drum wall 1464 of the drum network 1460. The separation hole 1468 may be formed from the bottom to the top of the drum net 1460 so that the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464 communicate. For example, the separation hole 1468 may be formed to be long and extend upward from the lower end of the upper wall 1464c of the drum wall 1464 . Here, since the separation hole 1468 is not formed in the lower wall 1464a of the drum wall 1464, even if rotational force and pressure are applied to the drum net 1460 from the screw 1440 during the juice extraction process, the lower wall 1464a It is possible to prevent deformation of the shape of the drum network 1460 and to maintain a constant shape of the separation hole 1468 .

In addition, the separation hole 1468 extends upward from the bottom of the upper wall 1464c to a point where the height is less than or equal to the height of the upper end of the first grinding blade 1467a and higher than the height of the upper end of the second grinding blade 1467b. can Accordingly, the juice extracted from the material by the first grinding blade 1467a and the second grinding blade 1467b may be moved from the inner space to the outer space through the separation hole 1468 .

Meanwhile, a separation protrusion 1428 may be inserted into the separation hole 1468 so that only the juice is moved from the inner space to the outer space, and the residue of the material remaining after the juice is extracted remains in the inner space. . The separation protrusion 1428 may protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the housing 1420 toward the drum network 1460 in a form complementary to the separation hole 1468 . In addition, as the separation protrusion 1428 is inserted into the separation hole 1468, the drum network 1460 is fastened to the housing 1420 and is affected by the rotation of the screw 1440 to prevent it from spinning. .

Here, the length of the separation protrusion 1428 corresponds to the separation hole 1468, but the width may be smaller than that of the separation hole 1468. Accordingly, when the separation protrusion 1428 is inserted into the separation hole 1468, a separation gap may be provided between the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428. The separation gap formed at the difference in width between the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 may be provided with a size that allows juice extracted from the material to pass through and does not allow waste to pass through.

Therefore, the juice extracted from the material and the remaining dregs may move from the inner space to the outer space through the separation gap, and the dregs may not pass through the separation gap and remain in the inner space. As a result, juice and dregs may be separated by interaction between the separation hole 1468 of the drum net 1460 and the separation protrusion 1428 of the housing 1420 .

The separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 are provided in complementary forms, and their shape or arrangement may be appropriately designed in consideration of juice extraction efficiency or separation efficiency between juice and dregs.

8 is a cross-sectional view of an example of a filter structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to one example, as shown in the drawing, the separation hole 1468 is provided in the form of a slit extending from the bottom to the top of the drum wall 1464, and the separation protrusion 1428 is provided from the bottom to the top of the housing 1420. It may be provided in the form of a slot extending in the direction. Here, the width of the slit is provided to be larger than the width of the slot, so that a separation gap can be formed in a state where the slot is inserted into the slit.

According to another example, the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 may be formed around the grinding blade 1467 formed on the drum wall 1464 . For example, the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 may be disposed at a position spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance at the rear of the grinding blade 1467 in the direction of rotation of the screw 1440 . Accordingly, the juice extracted from the point where the grinding blade 1467 is formed can be easily transferred to the filter structure including the separating hole 1468 and the separating protrusion 1428 . Here, the filter structure may be disposed only behind the second grinding blades 1467b except for the first grinding blades 1467a. Also, in the case where the plurality of second grinding blades 1467b are continuously formed at equal intervals, the filter structure is such that the second grinding blades 1467b are spaced at half the distance between the second grinding blades 1467b. may be located at the rear.

According to another example, a separation gap formed between the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 may be larger at the top of the filter structure than at the bottom of the filter structure. While the material is conveyed downward and juice is performed, a relatively large amount of juice may be extracted from the upper part and a relatively small amount of juice may be extracted from the lower part. Accordingly, it may be advantageous for the separation gap to be relatively large in the upper portion of the juice space where a larger amount of juice is extracted than in the lower portion of the juice space where a small amount of juice is extracted. In addition, since the residue remaining after juice is extracted is mainly compressed by high pressure in the lower part, it may be advantageous that the separation gap is relatively smaller in the lower part of the juice space with relatively more residue than in the upper part of the juice space with relatively less residue.

Again according to another example, when the separation protrusion 1428 is inserted into the separation hole 1468, the separation protrusion 1428 may be inserted to the same position as the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464. Accordingly, the separation protrusion 1428 does not come into contact with the screw 1440, so that the juice extraction process may not be hindered. Alternatively, when the separation protrusion 1428 is inserted into the separation hole 1468, the separation protrusion 1428 may protrude toward the screw 1440 from the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464 to the same extent as the grinding blade 1467. Do. In this case, the separation protrusion 1428 may partially perform the function of the grinding blade 1467. That is, the separation protrusion 1428 inserted into the separation hole 1468 may protrude from the separation hole 1468 from the inner circumferential surface of the drum wall 1464 to the distance where the grinding blade 1467 protrudes toward the screw 1440. .

The juice moved from the inner space to the outer space by the above-mentioned filter structure is transported to the lower part and passes through the inner space between the upper wall 1464c of the drum network 1460 and the side wall 1425 of the housing 1420 to the drum network ( 1460) It is moved to an inner space having a relatively sufficient space formed between the lower wall 1464a and the side wall 1425 of the housing 1420, and then can be discharged to the outside through the juice outlet 1426 and the juice outlet port 1426a. there is. Here, the juice outlet 1426 is formed on one side of the housing 1420 and may be provided to communicate with the juice outlet port 1426a.

In addition, the debris remaining in the inner space by the above-described filter structure may be transported to the lower portion, collected in the debris groove 1465, and then discharged to the outside through the debris outlet 1427 and the debris discharge port 1427a.

Meanwhile, some of the extracted juice may not pass through the filter structure and may remain in the inner space. Juice remaining in the inner space may move to the bottom plate 1421 of the housing 1420 through the central hole 1462 . The space between the bottom plate 1421 of the housing 1420 and the lower plate 1461 of the drum net 1460 is connected to the outer space, and thus does not pass through the filter structure, and the bottom plate 1421 of the housing 1420 The juice moved to may also be discharged to the outside again through the juice outlet 1426 and the juice outlet port 1426a.

2.3. Driving unit (1600)

The driving unit 1600 may include a body 1620, a motor and shaft 1660, and an operating button 1680. The body 1620 may be disposed under the housing 1420.

The body 1620 and the housing 1420 may be connected in such a way that the bottom plate 1421 of the housing 1420 is placed on the upper surface of the body 1620 . As described above, a fixing protrusion for suppressing rotation of the housing 1420 may be formed on an upper surface of the body 1620 .

A motor may be accommodated inside the body 1620 . The motor may generate rotational force mainly by using electrical energy. The shaft 1660 may have one end coupled to the motor and the other end coupled to the screw 1440 to transmit rotational force generated by the motor to the screw 1440.

The operation button 1680 may turn on/off the operation of the motor by supplying electrical energy to the motor or cutting off the supplied electrical energy.

3. Filter structure

In the above description, it has been described that the filter structure is formed by the separation protrusion 1428 of the housing 1420 and the separation hole 1468 of the drum net 1460, but the filter structure does not necessarily have to match the above description. .

In the above description, one drum network 1460 is disposed in the housing 1420, a separation hole 1468 is provided in the one drum network 1460, and a separation protrusion 1428 is provided in the housing 1420. Although described, otherwise, the drum network 1460 is provided as two drum networks 1460, one drum network 1460 is provided with a separation hole 1468, and the other drum network 1460 has a separation protrusion It is also possible that 1428 is provided.

For example, the drum network 1460 may include a first drum network 1460a and a second drum network 1460b. Here, both the first drum network 1460a and the second drum network 1460b are interposed between the housing 1420 and the screw 1440, and the first drum network 1460a surrounds the screw 1440. And, the second drum network 1460b may be disposed to surround the second drum network 1460b again. Here, the first drum network 1460a may be provided in a similar form to the single drum network 1460 described above. Also, a separation protrusion 1428 inserted into the separation hole 1468 of the first drum network 1460a may be provided in the second drum network 1460b. Accordingly, when the first drum network 1460a and the second drum network 1460b are fastened to each other, the separation protrusion 1428 of the second drum network 1460b is formed in the separation hole 1468 of the first drum network 1460a. The juice and the dregs may be separated by an interaction between the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428. Specifically, the juice is moved from the inside of the first drum network 1460a through the separation gap to the space between the first drum network 1460a and the second drum network 1460b, and the dregs are inside the first drum network 1460a can remain in

As another example, in the filter structure using a combination of the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428, the screw 1440 rotates in a horizontal direction as an axis other than the juicer 1000 in which the screw 1440 rotates in a vertical direction as an axis. It can also be applied to the juicer 1000 equipped with 1440.

In addition, it goes without saying that the separation hole 1468 and the separation protrusion 1428 constituting the filter structure may be modified in various forms without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

4.1. Overview of Juice Discharge Assembly (2000)

Hereinafter, the juice dispensing assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The juice discharge assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the juicer 1000 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, as well as to other various types of juicers 1000. let it out

The juice discharge assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a juice discharge port 2200 and a juice discharge cap 2400 .

The juice outlet port 2200 may be formed at one side of the housing 1420 to communicate with the juice outlet 1426 of the housing 1420 . The juice outlet port 2200 may provide a discharge path 2210 connected to the juice outlet 1426 . The juice extracted from the material inside the housing 1420 is delivered to the juice outlet port 2200 through the juice outlet 1426 formed in the housing 1420, along the outlet path 2210 of the juice outlet port 2200. can be discharged to the outside.

The juice discharge cap 2400 may open and close the juice discharge port 2200 . For example, when the juice discharge cap 2400 closes the juice discharge port 2200, the juice discharge cap 2400 closes the end of the discharge passage 2210 to open the discharge passage 2210 of the juice discharge port 2200. Through this, the juice can be prevented from being discharged. As another example, when the juice discharge cap 2400 opens the juice discharge port 2200, the juice discharge cap 2400 opens the end of the discharge passage 2210 to open the discharge passage 2210 of the juice discharge port 2200. Through this, the juice can be discharged to the outside.

4.2. Configuration of the juice discharge assembly 2000

A cross-sectional view of one example of assembly 2000 .

Referring to FIGS. 9 to 12 , an example of a juice discharge assembly 2000 may include a juice discharge port 2200 and a juice discharge cap 2400 formed on one side of a housing 1420 . Meanwhile, a waste discharge port 1427a may be formed on the other side of the housing 1420 .

The juice discharge port 2200 may be provided in the form of a tube forming the discharge passage 2210 . In the tubular juice discharge port 2200, one end of the discharge passage 2210 is connected to the discharge port formed in the housing 1420, and the other end of the discharge passage 2210 is opened to discharge juice to the outside. can Here, the outlet of the housing 1420 may be connected to a space in which the juice extracted from the material is separated from the residue and accommodated. For example, the space in which juice is accommodated may be a space between the housing 1420 and the drum network 1460 in one example of the juicer 1000 described above.

The discharge path 2210 may be provided in a downwardly inclined shape. When the juice is delivered from the outlet to the juice discharge port 2200, the juice may be naturally discharged by gravity along the inclined discharge path 2210. Fruit juice extracted from some types of fruits or green juice extracted from vegetables may have high viscosity, and it may be preferable that the outlet 2210 has an inclination angle sufficient to smoothly flow juice with high viscosity.

The juice discharge cap 2400 may be fastened to the juice discharge port 2200 in a sliding manner. For such a sliding movement, for example, a sliding groove or a sliding slit 2240 is formed in the juice discharge port 2200, and a sliding protrusion ( 2450) may be formed. For another example, a sliding groove or a sliding slit 2240 is formed on the juice discharge cap 2400, and a sliding protrusion 2450 fitted into the sliding groove or sliding slit 2240 is formed on the juice discharge port 2200. It is also possible.

Here, the sliding groove or sliding slot may be formed so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the direction of sliding movement, and as the sliding groove moves along the longitudinal direction of the sliding groove or sliding slot, the juice discharge cap 2400 discharges juice. It can slide on the port 2200.

4.3. Structure of the juice discharge assembly 2000

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , in the juice discharge assembly 2000 fastened to be able to slide, the juice discharge cap 2400 slides on the juice discharge port 2200 toward the inside of the juicer 1000 By moving, the juice discharge port 2200 can be closed. 11 and 12, in the juice discharge assembly 2000, the juice discharge cap 2400 slides on the juice discharge port 2200 in the outer direction of the juicer 1000 to form a juice discharge port ( 2200) can be left open.

13 is an exploded perspective view of an example of a juice dispensing assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, an example of the juice discharging assembly 2000 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13 .

According to one example, the juice discharge port 2200 may be provided in a tube shape including a lower surface 2220 and a side surface 2230. For example, the lower surface 2220 may be provided in a downward convex curved shape, and the side surface 2230 may extend upward from both sides of the lower surface 2220 . Accordingly, the juice discharge port 2200 may be provided as a tube having a “U” shape in cross section.

The pipe-shaped juice outlet port 2200 may have one end connected to the outlet of the housing 1420 and extend outward from the housing 1420 .

The lower surface 2220 may extend with an inclination angle that decreases downward as the distance from the housing 1420 increases. In this way, the lower surface 2220 inclined downward may guide the juice introduced into the juice discharge port 2200 to naturally proceed to the other end.

A fitting jaw 2250 may be formed at the other end of the lower surface 2220 . The fitting jaw 2250 may be bent downward from the other end of the lower surface 2220 by a predetermined length, and then extended outward of the housing 1420 by a predetermined length. At this time, the direction in which the fitting jaw 2250 extends outwardly from the housing 1420 may coincide with the sliding movement direction. For example, when the juice discharge cap 2400 is designed to slide in a horizontal direction with respect to the juice discharge port 2200, the fitting jaw 2250 creates a step downward from the end of the lower face 2220 and then moves in the horizontal direction. can be extended to

A sliding groove or a sliding slit 2240 may be formed on the side surface 2230 so that the juice outlet port 2200 and the juice outlet cap 2400 are slidably coupled to each other, the longitudinal direction of which coincides with the sliding direction. For example, when the sliding direction is a horizontal direction, the lengthwise direction of the sliding groove or sliding slit 2240 may be a horizontal direction.

In addition, the juice discharge port 2200 may be provided in the form of a tube with at least a part of the upper portion open. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 , the juice discharge port 2200 may have an entirely open top. Of course, unlike this, the juice discharge port 2200 may be provided in a form in which only a part of the upper portion is open and the remaining portion is blocked. For example, an end of the juice outlet port 2200 connected to the outlet may be provided with a closed top and an open top at the opposite end.

According to one example, the juice discharge cap 2400 may include a blocking plate 2420 and a connecting plate 2410.

The connection plate 2410 may be disposed to face both side surfaces 2230 of the juice discharge port 2200 . A sliding protrusion 2450 inserted into a sliding groove on a side surface 2230 or a sliding slit 2240 may be formed on an inner surface of the connecting plate 2410 . The sliding protrusion 2450 is inserted into the sliding groove or the sliding slit 2240 and may move along the longitudinal direction of the sliding groove or the sliding slit 2240 . The sliding movement of the juice dispensing cap 2400 may be performed by moving the sliding protrusion along the longitudinal direction of the sliding groove or sliding slit 2240 .

Here, the sliding groove or the sliding slot may preferably be formed in a horizontal direction so that the moving direction of the juice dispensing cap 2400 is in a horizontal direction.

The connecting plate 2410 may have a bent portion that is bent inwardly at an upper end thereof. The bent portion may be supported by being seated on the upper portion of the side surface 2230 of the juice discharge port 2200 . Accordingly, the juice discharge cap 2400 may be seated in the juice discharge port 2200 more stably.

A blocking plate 2420 may be connected to an end of the connecting plate 2410 . The blocking plate 2420 may be provided in a plate shape extending downward from the connecting plate 2410 . The blocking plate 2420 is plate-shaped corresponding to the cross-sectional shape formed by the lower surface 2220 and both side surfaces 2230 of the juice discharge port 2200 or the fitting jaw 2250 and both side surfaces 2230 of the juice discharge port 2200 can be provided as Accordingly, when the juice discharge cap 2400 slides on the juice discharge port 2200 in a direction toward the housing 1420, the juice discharge port 2200 may be closed by the blocking plate 2420.

In addition, when the juice discharge cap 2400 slides on the juice discharge port 2200 in a direction away from the housing 1420, the blocking plate 2420 can open the juice discharge port 2200. At this time, the blocking plate 2420 ) may be disposed at a position spaced apart from the end of the juice discharge port 2200 by a predetermined distance. When the juice discharge port 2200 is open, the blocking plate 2420 disposed at a position spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the end of the juice discharge port 2200 directs the discharge path of the juice discharged from the juice discharge port 2200 downward. can be guided.

A packing 2430 may be attached to the rear surface of the connecting plate 2410 . The packing 2430 may be provided in a shape corresponding to the lower surface of the fitting jaw 2250. For example, the fitting jaw 2250 may be in the form of protruding downward while maintaining the curved shape of the lower face 2220, and the packing 2430 corresponds to the curved shape of the fitting jaw 2250, so that its lower end is It may be curved.

When the blocking plate 2420 closes the juice discharge port 2200, the packing 2430 may adhere to the fitting jaw 2250. When the clamping jaw 2250 and the packing 2430 come into close contact with each other, it is possible to prevent juice from exuding from the juice discharge port 2200 . Unlike the lower surface of the juice discharge port 2200, the fitting jaw 2250 extends in the sliding direction, so the packing 2430 can be easily inserted into the fitting jaw 2250 by the sliding movement of the juice discharge cap 2400. there is.

Referring to FIG. 14 , the discharge path 2210 formed by the lower surface 2220 of the juice discharge port 2200 may be inclined downward with a predetermined inclination angle. This is to ensure that the juice introduced into the juice discharge port 2200 is discharged to the outside by gravity without an external force. Here, the juice discharge port 2200 and the juice discharge cap 2400 may be engaged to be slidably movable in a horizontal direction. When the juice discharge cap 2400 is slidably movable in an inclined direction on the juice discharge port 2200, when the juice discharge cap 2400 and the juice discharge port 2200 are slidably movable at an angle to each other, self-weight This is to prevent the juice discharge cap 2400 from moving unintentionally.

In other words, in the juice discharge assembly 2000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the discharge path 2210 of the juice discharge port 2200 is provided as a downward slope, while the juice discharge cap 2400 and the juice discharge port (2200) can be engaged to slide in the horizontal direction.

On the other hand, when the sliding movement direction and the extension direction of the discharge passage 2210 are different from each other, when the juice discharge cap 2400 moves on the juice discharge port 2200, the blocking plate 2420 or the blocking plate 2420 The formed packing 2430 may not block the juice outlet port 2200. In this example, in order to prevent this phenomenon, a fitting jaw 2250 extending in a direction coincident with the sliding direction is provided at the outer end of the juice discharge port 2200. Accordingly, even when the juice discharge cap 2400 slides in the horizontal direction, the blocking plate 2420 or the packing 2430 installed on the blocking plate 2420 can be inserted into the fitting jaw 2250 extending in the same direction as the sliding direction. Therefore, the juice discharge cap 2400 can be smoothly adhered to the juice discharge port 2200.

4.4.2. Juice discharge route guide action

Hereinafter, in an example of the juice discharge assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the juice discharge path guided by the juice discharge cap 2400 will be described.

Referring to FIG. 15 , when the juice discharge port 2200 is opened, the blocking plate 2420 of the juice discharge cap 2400 may be disposed at a position spaced apart from the outer end of the juice discharge port 2200 by a predetermined distance. there is.

If a lot of juice is accommodated in the juice discharge port 2200 at the time of opening the juice discharge port 2200, or when the juice discharge port 2200 is opened, strong pressure on the juice flowing into the juice discharge port 2200 When this is working, the juice may be discharged at a high speed along the slope of the discharge path 2210. Here, the blocking plate 2420 disposed at a position spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the outer end of the juice discharge port 2200 may guide a path through which juice discharged at high speed is discharged downward. Accordingly, when the juice is suddenly discharged, the problem of juice protruding in all directions can be solved. In particular, since the juice discharge cap 2400 having a conventional hinge structure opens the juice discharge port 2200 in a manner in which the juice discharge cap 2400 is pulled out, the discharge path of the juice discharged at high speed cannot be guided. . Therefore, according to the juice dispensing assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, juice discharged from the juicer 1000 can be easily received even with a relatively small cup.

4.4.3. Juice backflow prevention action
