Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a juicer that cuts and crushes fruits, vegetables, etc. with a cutter and then centrifuges the fruit and vegetables to obtain juice liquid.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, this type of juicer has a structure in which the waste squeezed by the separation cage is collected almost uniformly in the waste receiver (for example, the
-41609).

"The problem that the idea tries to solve" The problem is that it is extremely troublesome to dispose of the waste.

"Means for solving the problem" A separation basket, a waste receptacle, and its lid are provided,
A dregs compression means for rotating the lid is provided between the lid and the receptacle, a pair of clamps are provided on the periphery of the lid, and protrusions that fit with the clamps are provided on the juice container, and the fitting portion between the lid and the dregs receiver is formed into a cylindrical shape. The structure is such that when the pair of clamps are released from the protrusion, they are held above the released position.

``Operation'' The material is separated into waste and waste in a separating basket, and the waste is deposited in a waste receiver, and then the lid is rotated and compressed by the compression means, and when it is full, the clamp is removed and taken out at once. Fit the rear clamp to the protrusion.

"Embodiment" In the figure, 1 is a base, and a motor 2 is installed inside the base. Reference numeral 3 denotes a youth container which is removably placed on the upper part of the base 1, and has a youth outlet 4 at the bottom and a notch 5 at the top. A motor shaft 6 protrudes from the center of the youth container 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a rotary table screwed to the motor shaft 6, and a separation cage 8 is detachably connected to the rotary table 7. The separation cage 8 has a large number of small holes 9.
The filter 10 has an inverted conical shape. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cutter for cutting material provided on the inner bottom of the separation cage 8, and is fixed to the cutter stand 12 together with the separation cage 8. This cutter stand 1
2 is a device that can be attached to and detached from the rotary table 7. Reference numeral 13 denotes a waste receiver removably placed on the upper part of the youth container 3. The outer periphery is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape, and approximately in the center there is an input port 14 for inputting materials such as fruits and vegetables, and a separation basket 8. Cutting by
Dregs storage section 1 for storing crushed and discharged dregs
5. Reference numeral 16 indicates an inlet for the waste discharged from the separation basket 8; 17 indicates a partition wall protruding from the inside of the waste receiver 13; 18 projects from the outer periphery and fits into the notch 5 of the youth container 3; This is a protrusion that prevents the receiver 13 from rotating. 19 is a lid that covers the dregs receiver 13, and the outer circumferential inner wall part that fits into the dregs receiver 13 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape, fits into the dregs receiver 13 in a rotatable and removable manner, and has an approximately cylindrical shape. At the center is the input port 1 for the waste receiver 13.
It has a hole 20 that communicates with 4. Reference numeral 21 denotes a wall portion for collecting dregs, which is provided to protrude inside the lid 19, and is formed almost along the inner wall of the dregs storage portion 15 of the dregs receiver 13, with a slight gap from the inner wall of the dregs storage portion 15. has been done. When the lid 19 is in operation, the wall portion 21 for collecting scraps is connected to the scrap receiver 13.
It is set so as to be located in the gap 24 between the dregs inlet 16 and the partition wall 17. Note that the partition wall 17 and the wall portion 21 constitute a compression means 25.

26 is a clamp made of semi-elastic material such as synthetic resin, and the fourth
~ As shown in Figure 7, there are cylindrical protrusions 2 on both sides of the upper part.
7. It has a U-shaped notch 28 approximately in the center and an L-shaped protrusion 29 at the bottom. 30 is a plate spring inserted into a box-shaped groove 31 provided in the lid 19. The clamp 26 is constructed by inserting the leaf spring 30 into the box-shaped groove 31 and then contracting the cylindrical protrusion 27 inward to close the protrusion 3 provided on the lid 19.
2 into a substantially U-shaped groove 33 provided inside. After the cylindrical projection 27 is fitted into the U-shaped groove 33, it returns to its original shape due to its elasticity. As shown in FIG. 6, when the L-shaped protrusion 29 of the clamp 26 engages the downward protrusion 34 provided on the youth container 3, the lid 19 and the waste receptacle 13 are fixed to the youth container 3. When the clamp 26 is lifted horizontally as shown in FIG. 7, the lid 19 and the waste receptacle 13 are released from the juice container 3. Note that when the clamp 26 is lifted horizontally,
The clamp 26 has a flat surface 35 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the leaf spring 30, and is brought into surface contact with the leaf spring 30.
The clamp 26 is prevented from naturally rotating downward due to its own weight. Further, the other end of the plane 35 forms an arcuate portion 36 so as not to impede rotation of the clamp 21.

In the juicer with the above configuration, when the motor 2 is driven and materials such as fruits and vegetables are put in through the input port 14, they are squeezed by the separation basket 8, and the juices pass through the small holes 9 of the filter 10 and are used in one batch. After being accommodated in the container 3, it is accommodated in the use cup 22 through the use outlet 4. on the other hand,
The dregs rise up the surface of the filter 10 and are discharged above the separation basket 8. The discharged waste is separated into basket 8.
Due to the flow of air caused by the rotation of the separation basket 8, the space 23 formed by the upper part of the separation basket 8 and the back side of the bottom of the comb receiver 13 is moved in the same direction as the rotation of the separation basket 8 (in the case of this embodiment, in the direction of the arrow). While rotating, it enters the dregs storage section 15 of the dregs receiver 13 through the dregs inlet 16 and is accommodated therein. The dregs that have entered the dregs storage section 15 are partitioned while rotating in the direction of the arrow inside the dregs storage section 15 after entering the dregs storage section 15 due to the wind flow generated by the rotation of the separating basket 8. The particles come into contact with the wall 17 and gradually accumulate from the vicinity of the partition wall 17 as shown in FIG. In this way, the waste inlet 16
When the scum has accumulated to the vicinity, the operation is stopped, the clamp 26 is opened, and the lid 19 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, so that the scum is pushed toward the partition wall 17 by the scum collection wall 21. is compressed, and the lid 19
By returning the position to the original position, a space for storing waste can be secured in the waste storage section 15, and operation can be resumed.

Here, when clamp 26 is released, clamp 2
6 naturally rotates downward under its own weight and hangs down, when the lid 19 is rotated approximately 180 degrees, the side surface of the clamp 26 and the downward protrusion 34 of the youth container 3
If the lid 19 is to be rotated any further, the clamp 26 must be lifted upwards again before the lid 19 is rotated.

According to this embodiment, even if the waste storage section 15 is full of waste, the waste can be compressed between the partition wall 17 and the waste collecting wall 21 by rotating the lid 19. It is possible to dispose of waste in small pieces, making it very easy to dispose of waste.
The space within the waste storage section 15 can be used effectively, and a large amount of waste can be squeezed out at once. In addition, since the wall portion 21 for collecting scraps is formed with a slight gap from the inner wall of the scrap storage portion 15, when the lid 19 is rotated, the scraps will not leak through this gap and be compressed. There is not a trace left of it. If the gap is usually about 0 to 1 mm, most of the dregs will be compressed. Furthermore, since the fitting portions of the lid 19 and the waste container 13 are mutually cylindrical, the lid 19 can be rotated freely, and the waste container 13 is provided with a protrusion 18 and the youth container 3 is provided with a notch 5. Since they are fitted into each other, when the lid 19 is rotated, the dregs receiver 13 is also rotated, and problems such as inability to compress the dregs do not occur.

Furthermore, by rotatably fixing the clamp 26 that engages the youth container 3 to the lid 19,
When operating the juicer, the clamp 26 is engaged with the juice container 3 to fix the lid 19 and the waste container 13 to the juice container 3, and when compressing the waste, the lid can be rotated by opening the clamp 26. It is what it is. Further, when the clamp 26 is opened, the clamp 26 is kept in a substantially horizontal position, so when the lid 19 is rotated, the side surface of the clamp 26 comes into contact with the side surface of the downward protrusion 34 of the youth container 3, and the lid The rotation of 19 is not obstructed.

In the above embodiment, the waste receptacle 13 and the youth container 3 are constructed separately, but the effects of the present invention can be obtained even if they are constructed integrally.

``Effect of the invention'' As described above, the present invention provides a sludge compression means between the lid and the sludge receptacle, a cylindrical part where the two fit together and is rotatable, and a pair of clamps. are configured so that when they are released from the protrusion, they are held above the released position, so that the waste can be disposed of all at once, and the space within the waste receptacle can be used effectively. It is easy to handle and extremely valuable.
