Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a juicer for squeezing juices from vegetables and fruits.

Conventional technology A conventional lever of this kind is, for example, the
As shown in Publication No. 25598, it looked like Figure 10.

That is, a fixing plate 2 is attached to the outer surface of the main body 1 on which the container 3 and the container lid 4 are placed, and is pivoted at one end and moves freely, and the other end of the fixing plate 2 is attached to a protrusion 5 provided on the outside of the container lid 4. container 3 and container lid 4.
was fixed to main body 1.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a configuration, after placing the container 3 and the container lid 4 on the main body 1, the fixing plate 2 is rotated by an external force, and the protrusion 5 is attached to the fixing plate 2. Since the other side had to be hooked, two operations were required: placing the container 5 and container lid 4 on the main body 1, and rotating the fixed plate 2, which was very troublesome. Furthermore, since the fixing plate 2 protrudes significantly from the outer surface of the main body 1, it is difficult to make the entire product slim and compact.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a juicer in which a container and a container lid can be automatically and easily attached to and removed from the main body, and in which the protrusion of the fixing plate from the main body is reduced, and the juicer is slim and compact.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the technical means of the present invention is to provide a locking portion built in the main body, a part of which protrudes from the side wall of the main body, and the protruding portion provided on the container lid. The device includes a clamp that fits into the main body, a spring that applies pressure outward to the clamp, and an operating plate that is operated from the outside to displace the clamp into the main body.

Effect The effect of this technical means is as follows. That is, when a container or the like is mounted on the main body and then a container lid is mounted, the container lid first hits the upper surface of the locking portion of the clamp that protrudes outside the main body. Thereafter, when downward pressure is applied to the container lid, the lower surface of the container lid applies a component of force toward the inside of the main body to the locking portion of the clamp, so that the clamp, which had been biased outward by the spring, is displaced inward. When the container lid is further pressed downward and the locking part of the container lid reaches the position of the locking part of the clamp, the clamp is displaced outward by the spring and the locking part of the clamp fits into the locking part of the container lid. Then the container lid is fixed to the main body. Next, when removing the container lid from the main body, move the operating plate, which partially protrudes outside the main body, from the outside, and the operating plate inside the main body will displace the clamp inward, causing the locking part of the container lid to come off the clamp and remove the container etc. can be removed from the main body.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 9. In the figure, 11 is a motor attached to the lower part of the main body 12 via a buffer 13 with screws 14, 15 is an output shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11, and a substantially cylindrical centrifugal separation cage is attached to the upper end of the output shaft. 16 is detachably attached.
17 is a substantially cylindrical comb-shaped filter that is detachably installed inside the centrifugal separation cage 16; 18 is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifugal separation cage 16; and 19 is a juice receiving container placed on the main body 12. A youth outlet 20 is provided in a part of the lower part. Reference numeral 21 denotes a leaf spring attached to the bottom surface of the youth receiving container 19, and the youth receiving container 19 is attached to the main body 12.
When it is attached to the holder, it is pressed by the protrusion 22. Reference numeral 23 denotes a container lid which is detachably fitted into the youth receiving container 19 and has a material input port 24 in the center. 25
26 is a push rod which is inserted into the material input port 24 and presses vegetables, fruits, etc. onto the cutter 18; and 26 is a bottom plate that covers the lower surface of the main body 12 and has legs 27 attached thereto. 28
is a plate-shaped clamp whose lower end is supported by a fixing part 29 provided at the inner bottom of the main body 12, and whose upper part is constantly urged toward the outside of the main body 12 by a spring 30. At the upper end of the clamp 28, a locking part 31 whose upper surface is inclined is provided to protrude outward from the main body 12, and below the locking part 31, an inclined rib 32 whose lower side is inclined inward is provided inside the main body 12. 3
3 is a shaft that holds an operating plate 34 and is fixed to the main body 12 with screws 35. The operating plate 34 freely rotates about the shaft 33, and has a knob 36 protruding from the main body 12 attached to one end thereof, and the other end thereof is provided so as to be located at the lower part of the inclined rib 32 of the clamp 28. . Reference numeral 37 denotes an operating leaf spring that presses the operating plate 34 downward. 38 is the container lid 23
The lid extension extends further downward and is provided with a hole 39 that fits into the locking portion 31 of the clamp 28 .

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, after installing the main body 12, container 19, centrifuge cage 16, etc.,
When the container lid 23 is attached, the lower end of the lid extension 38 comes into contact with the locking part 31 at the upper end of the clamp 28. When the container lid 23 is further pressed downward, as shown in FIG. 6, the clamp 28 pressed by the spring 30 receives an inward component of the main body 12 from the slope provided on the upper surface of the locking part 31, so that the clamp 28 The main body 12 is displaced inward. Further press the container lid 23 to release the lid extension 3.
When the hole 39 provided in 8 reaches the position of the locking part 31 of the clamp 28, the locking part 31 is closed by the force of the spring 30.
is fitted into the hole 39, and the clamp 28 is restored. As a result, the container lid 23 is fixed to the main body 12 as shown in FIG. That is, the container lid 23 can be fixed to the main body 12 by a single operation of attaching the container lid 23 to the main body 12 and pressing it downward. At this time, the plate spring 21 attached to the lower surface of the container 19 is attached to the main body 12.
It is pressed by the upper protrusion 22.

Next, when separating the container lid 23 from the main body 12, when the knob 36 is pressed downward with a finger, the operating plate 34 rotates around the shaft 34, so the portion of the operating plate 34 located below the inclined rib 32 of the clamp 28 is displaced upward and the clamp 28 is moved upward as shown in FIG.
is pushed inward by the height of the inclined rib 32, and the locking part 31 of the clamp 28 engages the hole 3 provided in the lid extension part 28.
Out of 9. Then, the container 19 and container lid 23 are lifted up by the plate spring 21 pressed by the protrusion 22 of the main body 12 attached to the lower surface of the container 19, and the knob 3 is lifted up.
Even if you release your finger pressing 6, the locking part 31 of the clamp 28 does not fit into the hole 39 of the lid extension 28, so if you lift the container 19 and the container lid 23, the container lid 23 will be separated from the main body 12. I can do things.

In addition, since the clamp 28 is built into the main body 12 and the container lid 23 is fixed from the inside, the number of parts protruding from the outside of the main body 12 is small, and the size of the parts can be reduced, making the entire product compact and easy to store. It can be done in a space-saving manner. Furthermore, since there is no clamp on the outside of the main body 12, there is no chance of it getting caught on the user's clothes or the like and causing malfunction.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the adjuster of the present invention has a clamp built into the main body, a part of which protrudes from the side wall of the main body, and the protruding part fits into a locking part provided on the container lid. , by providing a spring that applies pressure to the clamp outward, and an operating plate that is operated from the outside and displaces the clamp into the main body,
The container lid can be fixed to the main body by simply pressing it downward while being mounted on the main body, and the container lid and the main body can be unfixed by simply pushing the operating plate downward from the outside of the main body. In addition, not only can the entire product be made slim and compact, but there are also fewer irregularities on the outside of the main body, so there is no need to get caught, and there is no possibility of the product falling off the table. .
