Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer for crushing vegetables, fruits, etc. and centrifuging the juice.

Conventional technology Conventionally, this type of juicer has been used as shown in Figs.
The structure was as shown in Fig. 7. Figure 5,
In Figs. 6 and 7, 1 is an electric motor, and main body 2
It is attached inside with screw 3. 4 is a rotating shaft of the electric motor 1, the upper part of which is a fitting hole 5a of the separation cage 5.
The rotation of the electric motor 1 is transmitted thereto. Reference numeral 6 denotes a filter made of an elastic material such as resin that fits on the inner surface of the separation basket 5, and has a large number of vertical slits 6a on its outer periphery.
and side walls 6b are provided alternately. Further, a flange portion 6c and a plurality of small holes 6d are provided at the upper portion. 7
1 is a container, and a hook-shaped protrusion 7a provided at the bottom thereof is rotatably coupled to a protrusion 2d provided on the main body 2, and the container 7 is mounted on the main body 2 in a bayonet manner.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a container, and a hook-shaped protrusion 8a provided at the bottom thereof is rotatably coupled to a protrusion 7b provided at the top of the container 7, and a container lid 8 is bayonet-coupled to cover the upper opening of the container 7. 9 is an input port integrally molded with the container lid 8;
It faces a cutter 10 having a large number of cutting edges fixed to the inner bottom of the separation basket 5. Reference numeral 11 is a push rod for introducing materials.

If you want to obtain juice with the juicer with the above configuration,
When the electric motor 1 is rotated in the state shown in FIG. 3, the separation cage 5 rotates at high speed as rotation is transmitted from the rotating shaft 4. Now, input the material from the input port 9,
When the material is pushed in with the push rod 11, it is finely pulverized by the cutter 10 and sent to the filter 6. Among the materials collected in the filter 6, the solid content remains as squeezed lees, and the youthful content passes through a number of vertical slits 6a on the outer periphery of the filter 6 and is released by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the separation basket 5. Collects in container 7. In this case, the width of the numerous vertical slits 6a on the outer periphery of the filter 6 was set to about 0.4 to 0.6 mm so that the squeezed lees would pass together with the juice and would not be ejected. In addition, since the width of the slit 6a is narrow, in the case of tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, etc., which have soft flesh and relatively thick skin, the skin covers the slit 6a and the juice cannot pass through the filter 6.
Since the squeezed residue may remain inside the filter 6 along with the squeezed residue, a plurality of small holes 6d are provided in the upper flange portion 6c of the filter 6 so that when the waste cannot pass through the slit 6a, it flows out through the plurality of small holes 6d. was.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention With this structure, juice can be smoothly released from materials with soft flesh and relatively thick skin, such as tomatoes, grapes, and strawberries, but conversely, juice content can be released from materials with a large amount of fiber. In this case, the gap between the many slits 6a of the filter 6 is reduced to about 0.4 to 0.6, and there is a problem that even though the squeezed residue is retained, it flows out along with the residue through the plurality of small holes 6d in the flange portion 6c. Ta.

The present invention solves these problems,
To provide a juicer that smoothly releases juice components and does not cause squeezed lees to flow out, whether it is a material with a lot of fiber or a material with soft pulp and thick skin.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention rotates a filter plate that is located on the upper surface of the flange portion of the filter and has holes that correspond to a plurality of small holes provided in the flange portion. It was formed to be able to move freely.

Function: With this configuration, when obtaining juice from a material with a large amount of fiber, the filter plate is rotated and fixed in a position covering the plurality of small holes provided in the flange portion, thereby preventing the squeezed lees from flowing out. Also tomatoes,
When obtaining juice from materials with soft flesh and thick skin, such as grapes and strawberries, the filter plate is rotated and fixed at positions where the plurality of small holes provided with flanges correspond to the holes in the filter plate. Even if the skin of the material covers a number of slits and the waste material cannot pass through, it can be discharged through the plurality of small holes and the holes in the filter plate.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state in which the holes 12d of the filter plate 12 correspond to and are fixed to a plurality of small holes 6d provided in the flange portion 6c of a filter according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. A-A in Figure 1
FIG. Further, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the filter in a state in which a plurality of small holes 6d provided in the flange portion 6c are covered and fixed by the filter plate 12, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. It is.

In the figure, the filter 6 has a flange portion 6 at the top.
A large number of slits 6d and side walls 6b are alternately provided on the outer periphery. Further, a plurality of small holes 6d are provided in the flange portion. Furthermore, a filter plate 12 is rotatably formed on the upper surface of the flange portion and has holes 12d that correspond to the plurality of small holes 6d provided in the flange portion 6c.

According to this configuration, when obtaining a juice using a material with a large amount of fiber, the plurality of small holes 6d in the upper flange portion 6c are not necessary because the large number of slits 6a are not clogged, and conversely, the plurality of small holes 6d Since there is a possibility that more pulp may flow out, the filter plate 12 is rotated to cover the plurality of small holes 6d to prevent the pulp from flowing out. In addition, when obtaining juice from a material with soft pulp and thick skin, many slits 6d are covered with the skin and the juice cannot be released. It can be discharged by fixing the holes 12d of the plate 12 at opposing positions.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the juicer according to the present invention can smoothly juice juice from either a material with a lot of fiber or a material with a soft pulp and a thick skin by rotating the filter plate. It is possible to obtain a juicer which releases strained lees and does not cause strained lees to flow out.
