Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention provides a filter on the inner circumferential surface of a centrifugal cage.
This invention relates to a waste accumulation type juicer that is equipped with cutters at the inner bottom and collects waste in a centrifugal separation cage.

(b) Prior Art This type of lever is known, for example, from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 10504/1983, and a lever having a structure similar to this will be explained with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a juicer body with a built-in electric motor (not shown) and a motor control switch (not shown) on the front side. 4 are respectively placed on the low step below the outflow hole 2. Reference numeral 5' denotes a centrifugal separation cage connected to the drive shaft 6 of the electric motor and rotatably installed inside the container 3. A cutter 7 for grating the material is fixed to the inner bottom, and a cylindrical cage is attached to the inner peripheral surface. A cutter 8' is detachably provided. This filter 8' has a large number of vertically extending juice liquid outflow slits (not shown) and is provided with an inward flange 8a' at the upper end to serve as a waste stopper. Reference numeral 9 denotes a container lid that is attached to and removed from the upper opening of the container 3, and a material input tube 10 is vertically provided at a position facing the cutter 7. A fixing member 11 extends from the periphery of the input cylinder 10 to cover the entire surface of the cutter 7, and its periphery is lowered than the upper end of the cutter 7 to improve the pulverization rate of the pulverized material and to allow the pulverized material to fly in a substantially horizontal direction. It is composed of Reference numeral 11 denotes a pushing rod for pushing the material to be inserted into the charging cylinder 10.

In the above configuration, the crushed material such as fruit is crushed by the cutter 1 and then blown in a substantially horizontal direction and attached to the inner surface of the filter 8', where it is separated into waste and liquid, and the liquid passes through the slit and enters the separating basket 5. It reaches the inner periphery, rises, flows out of the separating basket 5', passes through the outflow hole 2 of the container 3, and is received by the cup 4. On the other hand, the debris rises along the slit and accumulates as shown in the figure.

By the way, if you try to grate radish or shave ice with the juicer configured as described above, you will have to remove the separation basket for grated radish and install a separate attachment with a cutter for the grated function, which will increase costs and require space to store the attachment. However, the disadvantage was that the packaging volume was large.

(c) Object of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the object of the present invention is to enable a centrifugal separation basket for producing juice to easily perform the grated function.

(d) Structure of the Invention The structure of the present invention is characterized in that the centrifugal separation cage is composed of a base portion having a cutter and a cylindrical portion that is detachably connected to the base portion and has a filter attached to its inner peripheral surface. be.

With this configuration, the grate function can be performed by removing the cylindrical portion together with the filter from the base.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In addition, in this example, FIGS. 2 and 3
Although the figure only shows the use manufacturing part, the other parts are the same as in FIG. 1, and therefore their explanation will be omitted.

Reference numeral 5 designates a centrifugal separation cage, which has an open upper and lower surface and is formed into a truncated conical shape so that the inner diameter of the lower part is larger than that of the upper part, and has an inward flange 12a at the upper opening edge that acts as a stopper for the filter described later.
A cylindrical part 12 is formed with convex parts 12b on the outer periphery of the lower end and has no liquid outflow hole on the peripheral wall, and a cutter 7 is formed in the center of the upper surface and the outer periphery is stepped down to form a step part 14, and the peripheral part is formed with a cutter 7. It consists of a plate-like base 13 formed with protrusions 12b and recesses 13a that are bayonet-coupled, and further formed with a connector section 15 that is coupled to the drive shaft 6 on the lower surface, and the cylindrical section 12 is detachably attached to the base 14. ing.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a synthetic resin filter that is removably engaged with the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion 12, and is formed into a truncated conical shape to match the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion 12, and the inner diameter of the lower part is larger than the inner diameter of the upper part. At the same time, an inward flange 8a for stopping waste is formed at the upper end, and the lower part excluding the upper end 8b is formed into a comb-teeth shape to form a number of vertically elongated slits 8c for draining the juice liquid.

In the embodiment with the above configuration, first, to perform the juicer function, the material pulverized by the cutter 7 is thrown approximately horizontally outward and adheres to the inner surface of the filter 8.
Here, the liquid L and the waste K are separated, and the liquid flows out of the separating basket 5 from the small gap between the lower end of the cylindrical part 12 and the base 13, and the waste K descends along the slits 8c... from the lower part to the upper part. As shown in the figure, a large amount of it accumulates at the bottom. As a result, even if an unbalance occurs in the adhesion of waste K, the vibration of the separation basket is reduced compared to the conventional case. The debris K thus accumulated can be easily peeled off by removing the cylindrical portion 12 from the base 13, removing the filter 8 from the cylindrical portion 12, and deforming it elastically.

Next, in order to carry out the grating function, the cylinder part 12 and the filter 8 are removed from the base part 13, the base part 13 is rotated, and the material is inserted from the input cylinder 10. The material is then grated by a cutter 7 and received in a container 3.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and instead of making the centrifugal cylinder part 121 and the filter 8' into a truncated cone shape as a whole as shown in FIG. 4, only the upper part can be reduced into a tapered shape. By setting the diameter A, the inner diameter of the lower part may be made larger than the inner diameter of the upper part. In this case, it is difficult for debris to accumulate in the reduced diameter portion. Further, the cylindrical portion 121 may be formed not in a truncated cone shape but in a cylindrical shape with the upper and lower portions having the same diameter. Furthermore, the cylindrical portion 121 and the base 131 may be connected by forming protrusions 131a on the base 131 and recesses 121b engaging with the protrusions 131a on the cylindrical portion 121, as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in the same figure, if the protrusions of the base 131 are provided in multiples of the recesses 121b and are divided into two groups, 131a1 and 131a2, and the vertical positions of the protrusions are different between the groups, the protrusions 131a1... and the recesses 121b...

(F) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention configured as described above, the grating function can be easily performed by removing the cylinder part from the base, so a separate attachment for the grating function is not required, and costs can be reduced. At the same time, attachment storage space is not required, and the packaging volume can be reduced.
Furthermore, since the cylindrical portion and the base portion can be easily separated, there are great effects such as ease of cleaning.
