Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer for squeezing juice from vegetables, fruits, etc.

Conventional technology This type of conventional gauge is, for example,
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 25598, it had a structure as shown in FIG.

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

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, 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 of the container lid 4 is rotated by an external force. Since the other side of the fixed plate 2 must be hooked onto the main body 1, two operations are required: one to place the container 5 and the container lid 4 on the main body 1, and the other to rotate the fixed plate 2. Further, when removing the fixed container lid 4 etc. from the main body 1, the reverse operation is required, which is very troublesome. Furthermore, since the fixing plate 2 protrudes significantly from the outer surface of the main body 1, there is a problem in that it is difficult to make the entire product slim and compact.

In view of these problems, the present invention automatically
The object of the present invention is to provide a juicer in which a container and a container lid can be easily attached to and removed from the main body, and the protrusion of the fixing plate from the main body can be reduced to make the product slim and compact. be.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a device which is provided on the left and right sides of the main body so that a part thereof projects from the side wall of the main body, and in which the protrusion is provided with a locking part provided on the container lid. a clamp that fits into the clamp, an inclined rib provided on the side wall of the main body of the clamp and whose lower side is obliquely inclined toward the inside of the main body, a spring that presses the clamp outward, and a spring that presses the clamp outward; a rotatable operating plate located below the inclined ribs of the clamp and having the other end protruding from the main body; It is held in the main body by a fitting shaft.

Effects The effects of the above configuration are as follows. That is, when a container lid is attached after mounting a container or the like on the main body, the container lid first hits the upper surface of the locking portion of the clamp that protrudes outside the main body. Then, when downward pressure is applied to the container lid, the bottom surface of the container lid applies a component of force inward to the locking part of the clamp, causing the clamp, which had been biased outward by the spring, to move inward. . When the container lid is further pushed 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 touches the locking part of the container lid. When fitted, the container lid is fixed to the main body. Next, when removing the container lid from the main body, press downward on the part of the operating plate that partially protrudes outside the main body, and the operating plate will rotate around the axis within the main body, causing the vicinity of the tip of the clamp to Since it moves upward as if pushing the inclined rib, the clamp moves inward to the main body, and as a result, the locking part of the container lid comes off from the clamp, allowing the container etc. to be removed from the main body.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 10. In the figure, 11 is the main body 1
This motor 11 is attached to the lower part of the motor 2 with a screw 14 via a buffer 13.
An output shaft 15 is connected to the rotating shaft, and a substantially cylindrical centrifugal separation cage 16 is detachably attached to the upper end of the output shaft 15. 17 is centrifuge cage 1
6 is a substantially cylindrical comb-shaped filter that is detachably installed inside the centrifuge cage 16; 18 is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifuge cage 16; 19 is a youth container placed on the main body 12; A youth outlet 20 is provided in a part of the lower part of the receiving container 19. Reference numeral 21 denotes a leaf spring attached to the lower surface of the youth container 19. When the youth container 19 is attached to the main body 12, the leaf spring 21 is pressed by a protrusion 22 provided on the upper surface of the main body 12. 23
1 is a container lid which is removably fitted into the juice receiving container 19 and has a material input port 24 in the center thereof. A push rod 25 is inserted into the material input port 24 and presses vegetables, fruits, etc. onto the cutter 18;
6 is a bottom plate that covers the lower surface of the main body 12, to which legs 27 are attached. 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;
The upper part of this clamp 28 is always urged toward the outside of the main body 12 by a spring 30. Further, at the upper end of the clamp 28, a locking portion 31 with an inclined upper surface is provided so as to protrude outward from the main body 12, and below the locking portion 31, an inclined rib 32 whose lower side is inclined inward is provided inside the main body 12. It is being 33 is a shaft holding the operating plate 34, which is attached to the main body 1 by screws 35.
It is held at 2. The operating plate 34 freely rotates around the shaft 33, and a knob 36 protruding outside the main body 12 is attached to one end thereof.
The vicinity of the other tip is located below the inclined rib 32 of the clamp 28. Further, the shaft 33 is inserted from below into a groove 37 provided in the operating plate 34 and opened at the bottom. Reference numeral 38 denotes a lid extension extending downward from the container lid 23, and the lid extension 38 is provided with a hole 39 that fits into the locking part 31 of the clamp 28.

The operation of the above configuration will now be described.
First, when the container 19, the centrifugal separation cage 16, etc. are attached to the main body 12, and the container lid 23 is attached, the lower end of the lid extension 38 abuts against the locking portion 31 at the upper end of the clamp 28. When the container lid 23 is further pressed downward, as shown in FIG. 28 is displaced inside the main body 12. When the container lid 23 is further pressed and the hole 39 provided in the lid extension 38 reaches the position of the locking part 31 of the clamp 28, the locking part 31 is moved into the hole 39 by the force of the spring 30.
, and the clamp 28 is restored. As a result,
As shown in FIG. 1, the container lid 23 is fixed to the main body 12. That is, the container lid 23 can be fixed to the main body 12 with a single operation of attaching the container lid 23 to the main body 12 and pressing it downward. At this time, the leaf spring 21 attached to the lower surface of the container 19 is pressed by the protrusion 22 provided on the upper surface of the main body 12.

Next, when separating the container lid 23 from the main body 12, press the knob 36 downward with your finger.
Since the operating plate 34 rotates about the shaft 34, the portion of the clamp 28 of the operating plate 34 located below the inclined rib 32 is displaced upward, and the clamp 28 is moved above the inclined rib 32 as shown in FIG. It is pushed inward by the height. As a result, the locking portion 31 of the clamp 28
is removed from the hole 39 provided in the lid extension 28. Then, it is attached to the lower surface of the container 19, and the main body 12
The container 1 is moved by the plate spring 21 pressed by the protrusion 22 of the
9 and the container lid 23 are lifted up. As a result, even if you release your finger pressing the knob 36, the locking part 31 of the clamp 28 does not fit into the hole 39 of the lid extension part 28, so if you lift the container 19 and the container lid 23, you can remove the container lid. 23 can be separated from the main body 12. Here, since the operating plate 34 has a structure in which the shaft 33 is inserted into a groove 37 that is open at the bottom and is attached to the main body 12, the operating plate 34, the shaft 33
When assembling into the main body 12, turn the main body 12 upside down, set the operating plate 34, insert the shaft 33, and screw the screw 35.
It is possible to assemble the shaft 33 without fixing it to the operating plate 37 in advance, such as tightening, and as a result, it is possible to significantly streamline the assembly. Furthermore, when the knob 36 is pressed downward, the tip of the operating plate 34 receives a downward force from the inclined rib 32 of the clamp 38, so the operating plate 34
4 will now push the shaft 33 downwards, and as a result,
The operating plate 34 rotates smoothly without coming off the shaft 33.

Further, according to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, the clamp 28 is built inside the main body 12 and the container lid 23 is fixed from inside.
The number of parts protruding from the outside can be reduced, and the size of the parts can be reduced.As a result, the entire product can be made compact, and the product can be stored in less space. 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 juicer of the present invention is provided on the left and right sides of the main body so that a part thereof protrudes from the side wall of the main body, and the protruding portion is provided with a locking part provided on the container lid. a clamp that fits into the clamp, an inclined rib provided on the side wall of the main body of the clamp and whose lower side is obliquely inclined toward the inside of the main body, a spring that presses the clamp outward, and a spring that presses the clamp outward; located below the inclined rib of the clamp,
and a rotatable operating plate whose other end protrudes from the main body, and the operating plate has a groove in the middle that is open at the bottom, and is held in the main body by a shaft that fits into the groove. Because of this, it is possible to fix the container lid to the main body by simply pushing it downward while attaching it to the main body, and the assembly of the operating plate and shaft can be streamlined.In addition, the container lid can be fixed to the main body by simply pushing the operating plate downward from the outside of the main body. The lid and main body can be unfastened. In addition, not only can the entire product be made slim and compact, but there are fewer irregularities on the outside of the main body, so there is no chance of it getting caught, and as a result, there is no chance of the Jusa falling off the table. It has excellent effects.
