Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer for commercial use.

BACKGROUND ART Conventional juicers of this type have structures as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, the main body 4 has a built-in electric motor 1 and a speed reduction mechanism 2 and has a cutter 3 on the upper part, a pair of cam mechanism parts 5 protruding from both sides of the main body 4, and engages with each of the cam mechanism parts 5. A fruit holder 6 that rotates on the side surface of the main body 4, a squeeze cone 7 provided on the rotation locus of the holder 6, and a coupling provided on the main body 4 before the cutter 3 of the holder 6 rotates. A device 8 and a mounting portion 9 that can be detachably attached to the coupling device 8
and a guide 10 for holding the whole fruit thrown in on the rotation trajectory of the holder 6.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, such a configuration had the following problems. In other words, since the guide 10 is attached to the main body 4 by simply inserting the attachment part 9 into the coupling device 8, after the fruit (for example, an orange) is squeezed, the holder 6 reaches a substantially horizontal position and the fruit peel residue is discharged. In rare cases, the guide 10 is not ejected, but in such a case, the guide 10 is lifted upward by the fruit skin held on the inner surface of the holder 6, detaches from the coupling device 8, and hits the cutter 3, causing the blade to spill. , and was often unable to drive normally. In addition, a guide 1 is attached to the holder 6.
Although a 0.0 relief portion 6a is provided, it cannot be made larger in order to securely hold the fruit. Therefore, if the mounting part 9 of the guide 10 is not fully inserted into the coupling device 8, the holder 6 may hit the guide 10,
It will be transformed. In addition, it was necessary to visually judge whether or not it was inserted securely.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to securely fix the guide to the coupling device.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an engagement hole provided in a coupling device with a fixing pin that engages with the engagement hole by tightening a guide screw.

Effect The effect of the above configuration is as follows. In other words, by screwing the fixing pin into the engagement hole after inserting the guide into the coupling device, it can be prevented from coming off, and the fixation pin will not enter the engagement hole unless the attachment part is firmly inserted to the specified position. The user can clearly see that it has not been inserted.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 20 denotes a main body having an electric motor 21 on the inner bottom and a speed reducer 22 approximately in the center. The cam mechanism section 23
A fruit holder 25 is provided to each cam mechanism section 23 via an arm 24. Further, on the trajectory of the side surface of the main body 20 on which the holder 25 rotates, a squeeze cone 26 is provided which is rotated by the electric motor 21 and squeezes the fruit. 27
is a cover that covers the side and top surfaces of the main body 20, and is provided with a fruit inlet 32. Further, a cutter 28 for cutting the fruit in half is provided on the upper surface of the main body 20, and a coupling device 29 having an engagement hole 29a is provided on the front side of the holder 25 in the rotational direction. On the other hand, a guide 30 that holds the fruit on the rotation locus of the holder 25 and is configured by a combination of round bars is provided with a mounting portion 30a, which is configured to removably engage with the engagement hole 29a by tightening a screw. A fixing pin 31 is provided.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be explained.

First, when a user inserts a whole fruit such as an orange through the input port 32 of the cover 27, the fruit is held by the guide 30. The rotational movement of the holder 25 and the cutter 2 fixed to the upper part of the main body 20
8, the fruit is half-cut and held in the holder 25, and when the holder 25 reaches the position of the squeeze cone 26, the holder 25 is opened by the operation of the cam mechanism 23.
The inner surface of the fruit is pressed against the squeeze cone 26 and the fruit is squeezed. When the holder 25 reaches a substantially horizontal position, the fruit skin is discharged from the holder 25. At this time, depending on the shape and freshness of the fruit, the guide 3 may be held in the holder 25 without being discharged.
It may reach 0. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2B, since the fixing pin 31 is inserted into the engagement hole 31a of the coupling device 29, the guide 30 does not come out upward and maintains its current shape. Therefore, the fruit skin is forcibly discharged and dropped by the section a of the guide 30.

When cleaning after use, by turning the fixing pin 31, the screw tightening with the mounting part 30a is released, and the guide 3
0 can be removed upwards.

Furthermore, during installation, the fixing pin 31 cannot be inserted into the engagement hole 31a unless the attachment part 30a is inserted into the coupling device 29 to a predetermined position, so the user can easily notice this. It is possible and safe.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, in the adjuster of the present invention, the guide is attached using a fixing pin and an engagement hole, so the guide does not fall off, and the user can check whether the guide has been set securely or not. can be easily determined, which has the effect of preventing parts from being damaged.
