Description

Citrus and other fruit presses

1 is a cross-sectional view of a compactor showing that the motor housing protrudes from the lower device in the direction of the drive shaft,

2 is a cross sectional view of the compactor taken along line II-II of FIG.

The present invention relates to a compactor for mandarin and other fruits, the lower device, a drive shaft which protrudes from the lower device and can be driven by a motor through a reduction gear, a crimping cone that can be fitted on the drive shaft, drive shaft A storage container adapted to be placed on a lower device in a periphery thereof, and a compactor for a mandarin and other fruits composed of a motor disposed near a drive shaft and housed in a motor housing protruding from the lower device in the direction of the drive shaft. In known devices of this type, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 1,823,314, the motor housing is located in full contact with the reservoir. Such a structure causes the volume of the undercarriage to be quite large, which is a disadvantage in that it is inconvenient for use in the kitchen.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a substructure of a compact structure and to eliminate the drawbacks caused by the specific arrangement of parts within such substructure. The compaction according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the drive shaft extends through the motor housing and surrounds the motor housing in such a way that it reinforces when the storage container is placed on the undercarriage. Therefore, the capacity of the storage container can still be a large capacity to obtain a structure of reduced height. In addition, the reservoir can be rotated to rest on the undercarriage.

It is also advantageous if the motor housing protrudes from the lower device in the direction of the drive shaft and constitutes a handle. The compactor can thus be operated in a simple and simple way.

It is particularly advantageous if the motor housed in the motor housing is a synchronous motor. Synchronous motors can be made very compact in order to reduce the volume of the device because of their high efficiency.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In FIG. 1 the lower device of the mandarin and other fruit presses is indicated by the number 1, which consists of two interconnecting housing parts 2 and 3. The mounting plate 4 is fitted to the upper housing portion 2, and the drive shaft 5 is journalized rotatably on the mounting plate. The drive shaft protrudes its free end from the housing part 2, which is adapted to securely fit the crimping cone 6. Before the crimping cone 6 is fitted on the drive shaft 5, the reservoir 7 can be placed on the lower device 1 and the filter 8 can then be placed on the reservoir. The filters all surround the drive shaft 5. A motor 9 and a speed reduction device 10 provided on the fixing plate 4 are provided for driving the drive shaft 5. The reduction gear is composed of interlocking gears 11, 12, 13, and 14. The first gear 11 is arranged on the shaft 15 of the motor 9 and the last gear 14 is arranged on the drive shaft 5. The remaining gears 12 and 13 are connected to each other and rotatably mounted on the shaft 16 mounted on the mounting plate 4.

In order to slow down the speed of the cone motor shaft 15 relative to the speed of the drive shaft 5 which is adapted to drive the crimping cone 6, the two gears 11 and 13 have a small number of teeth, a small diameter, and the rest The two gears 12 and 14 have a large number of teeth and a large diameter. Thus, the reduction gear occupies most of the space in the undercarriage 1.

The motor 9 is housed in the motor housing 17, which is arranged close to the drive shaft and projects from the undercarriage in the direction of the drive shaft. According to the present invention, the drive shaft 5 passes through the housing 17 and the storage container 7, which is disposed on the lower device 1 while surrounding the housing 17 in a reinforcing manner. The motor 9 may extend partially into the undercarriage depending on the available space in the undercarriage 1.

The undercarriage is thus of a flat cylindrical shape which is stable and supports a large volume of storage vessels 7. The storage container has a recess structure that fits the projecting structure of the motor housing 17. Since the storage container 7 asymmetrically surrounds the motor housing 17 and strengthens the motor housing, there is no fear that the storage container located on the lower device 1 will rotate. Such a compactor is particularly suitable for household goods because of its compact structure.

Preferably, the motor 9 in such a press becomes a synchronous motor, which can be made quite small for the present invention because of its high efficiency. Therefore, the size of the housing 17 in which the motor 9 is accommodated can be downsized, which makes it possible to increase the capacity of the storage container.

The motor housing 17 may also protrude radially about the drive shaft 5 from the lower device 1, for example with a handle for the lower device.
