Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a juicer for squeezing fruits.

Conventional technology Conventionally, a juicer for squeezing this kind of fruit is shown in Fig. 5~
As shown in FIG.
8 and the fruit holder 2 for holding and moving the fruit in the squeeze cone I9
0, a cover 23 that covers the fruit squeezing portion of the juicer main body 21 and is formed with a fruit inlet 22; and a fruit guide 24 for guiding the fruit to the locus position of the fruit holder 20. The cutter 18 was fixed to the juicer main body 2l only by a fixture 25 located at the bottom. Reference numeral 26 denotes a sheath-shaped cutter force bar, which is used during cleaning to prevent hands from touching it.

In the above configuration, the fruit 27 (for example, a fruit pod) placed in the input port 22 of the cover 23 is guided to the holding position of the fruit holder 20 by the fruit guide 24.

Then, the fruit is moved by the fruit holder 20 in the direction of the arrow and with a predetermined radius.
After that, the fruit juice is squeezed by the rotating squeezing cone 19 by the oscillating motion. After squeezing the juice, the fruit holder 20 further rotates to guide the pomace to the discharge port 27 and discharge it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, according to the above configuration, the cover 2 is
When the cutter 18 is open, the front part 18a of the cutter 18 is difficult to touch due to the fruit guide 24 and is safe, but the upper part 187t) of the cutter 18 has no protection and can be easily touched by hands. There are safety issues.

Furthermore, when the fruit 27 is thrown in from the input port 22 and falls down the fruit guide 24, it may bounce and stick near the upper part of the cutter lBb. In some cases, the cover 23 could not be held in place and was pushed upward, deforming or damaging the cover 23. Of course, in a situation like this, you can't narrow it down. Furthermore, since the cutter 18 is only fixed at the bottom by the fixing device 25, there is a problem that the fixing device will be deformed and damaged if the cutter 18 is repeatedly used backwards due to the resistance when cutting the fruit in half. There was also.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, improve safety, prevent the fruit from protruding out of the rotation trajectory of the fruit holder, and further strengthen the fixation of the cutter and reduce the cutter force. It is an object of the present invention to provide a juicer that can facilitate the loading of bars.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a juicer having a cutter for cutting fruit, a squeeze cone for squeezing the fruit, and a fruit holder for holding and moving the fruit at the positions of the cutter and squeeze cone. a main body, a cover that covers a fruit moving part of the juicer main body and has a fruit inlet;
(iii) a fruit guide provided on the juicer main body to guide the fruit thrown from the cover to a holding position of the fruit holder; and a removable cutter force bar attached to the cutter; This juicer is provided with a protector located above the cutter to fix the cutter and the juicer body, and further provided with a protector that covers the upper part of the cutter or a protector that has a guide hole for the cutter cover.

Function: The juicer of the present invention is provided with a check-up tool that covers the upper part of the cutter as described above. It improves safety when the cover is open, and when putting fruit through the fruit guide, the fruit can be securely held in the fruit holder without sticking out, and it also eliminates the possibility of damaging the fixation of the cutter. Ta.

Further, when the protective equipment is provided with a cutter cover guide hole, the cutter can be safely and easily attached by using the guide hole of the protective equipment.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a juicer body with a built-in electric motor and speed reducer, which is composed of a lower body part 2 and an upper straight part 3 having concave parts 3a for moving the fruit on both sides.

A pair of cam mechanisms 4 are attached to the left and right sides near the upper tip of the vertical section 3, and a fruit holder 5 is rotatably attached to each of the cam mechanisms 4 via the cam mechanisms 4. 6 is an aperture cone, which is connected to the cam mechanism parts 4 on both sides of the upper vertical part 3.
A pair are provided at positions 4 and below the rotation locus of the fruit holder 5.

Further, a cutter 7 for cutting fruit is provided at the upper part of the upper vertical part 3, and a discharge port 8 for discharging pomace is formed at one end side of the lower body part 2. 9 is a transparent cover, which is removably provided on both sides of the juicer body 1, and -L
A fruit inlet IO is formed in the fourth part 3 for moving the fruit.
This is to cover the area a and prevent the fruit juice from scattering.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral I1 denotes a fruit guide, which is constructed of a rod member and is detachably attached to the end wall surface 3b of the upper vertical portion 3 via a fixture 12. This fruit guide 11 is for guiding the fruit input from the input port 0 of the cover 9 to a fruit holding position in front of the cutter 7.

A protective device 13 is integrated with the upper part of the cutter 7 by welding or the like and fixed to the juicer body 1 with screws.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a fixture, which is located below the cutter 7 and fixes the juicer main body 1 and the cutter 7.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a cutter force bar, which has a sheath shape and can be fitted by engaging with the guide hole 16 of the protective device 13.

Note that although the illustrated example shows an example in which the guide hole 16 of the cutter cover 15 is provided in the protective device 13, the structure is not limited to this, and the cutter force bar 15 may be provided in the cutter 7 in a detachable manner.

First, the power switch is turned on and the squeeze cone 6 and fruit holder 5 are rotated. Next, the fruit 17 is put in through the inlet 10 of the cover 9. Then, the fruit 17 is moved toward the cutter 7 by the fruit holder 5 rotating in the direction of the arrow and is held by the fruit holder 5 after being cut in half. When the fruit holder 5 reaches the position of the squeeze cone 6, the fruit holder 5 moves 1γ by the action of the cam mechanism 4, and the fruit 17 is pressed against the squeeze cone 6 to squeeze out the juice.

Thereafter, when the fruit holder 5 reaches a substantially horizontal position, the fruit husk (pull rind) separates from the fruit holder 5 and falls into the discharge port 8.

Thereafter, the same operation can be repeated continuously to squeeze out the juice one by one.

In this embodiment, by providing the medical checkup tool 13 above the cutter 7, it is possible to prevent the hand from easily touching the top of the cutter 7 when the cover 9 is opened.

In addition, even if the fruit 17 is thrown into the slot 10 with great force, it should not fall outside the rotational trajectory of the fruit holder 5.
Furthermore, since the cutter 7 can be fixed at both the upper and lower ends, damage to the cutter 7 can be prevented even when used repeatedly.

In addition, by providing the guide hole l6 in the protective equipment 13, it can serve as a guide when the cutter cover 15 is attached, improving the ease of attaching the cutter cover 15, and also preventing injury to the hand due to accidental injury when attaching the cutter cover 15. can be prevented from happening. Note that since the cutter force bar 15 is thin and sheath-shaped, there is no danger due to the presence of the guide hole 16.

Effects of the Invention The juicer of the present invention can improve safety by providing a protector for the cutter as described above, can reliably hold the fruit on the rotation trajectory of the fruit holder, and can fix the cutter. can be strengthened. Further, by providing a guide hole in the cutter protector, safety when attaching the cutter cover can be improved.
