Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slag discharge type electric juicer, and relates to a container and a slag receiving container structure for collecting the slag after extracting a juice component into the slag receiving container. It is a thing.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of electric juicer has a structure as shown in FIGS.

That is, the rotational force from the electric motor 102 in the main body 101 rotates the spinner 104 via the connector 103, and the material charged from the charging port 106 provided in the container lid 105 is the spinner 104.
Is crushed by a cutter 107 formed on the upper surface of the container, and the juice content passes through the filter 108 by centrifugal force and flows out into the container 112, while the dregs rise along the inclined surface of the filter 108, and the container lid 105 It is configured to be guided by the guide ribs 110 and discharged into the slag receiving container 109 on the side.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional configuration, the slag receiving container 10
The position of the input port 106 is set at an appropriate position so that the slag that has been subjected to the centrifugal force from the spinner 104 is ejected from the spinner 104 and enters the slag receiving container 109 when it is discharged to 9. In the case of such a material, there is a problem in that a part of the slag does not reach the slag receiving container 109 and is deposited on the upper surface 114 of the container 112 because the slag is not momentarily blown. Also, a sticky sticky substance such as apple collides with the vigorously blown-out container lid inner side wall 111, sticks, and accumulates, and grows and drops by its own weight.
There was a problem in that the drainage route of the slag was blocked because it reached the door, and eventually the filter 108 was filled with the slag and the juice could not be squeezed.

Further, the slag and the liquid adhering to the inner wall 113 of the container 112 gradually descends and adhere to the upper end surface of the slag receiving container 109, or the container 1
There was a problem of getting in between the 12 and the slag receiving container 109.

The present invention solves such a problem and prevents slag from depositing on the upper surface of the container or blocking the discharge path of the slag to prevent the filter from being filled with slag and juice from being squeezed. The purpose is to prevent the slag and liquid components attached to the inner wall of the slag from gradually descending and adhering to the upper end surface of the slag receiving container or entering between the container and the slag receiving container.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides an engraved portion having a substantially M-shaped plan shape by notching the upper surface of the slag receiving container along the vicinity of the side wall of the juice collecting chamber. A substantially M-shaped projecting portion is formed on the side wall of the slag receiving container so as to fit with the scooping portion, and the upper end surface of the projecting portion is located below the scooping portion.

Action The action of this technical means is as follows. That is, the material charged from the charging port provided in the container lid is
After being crushed with a spinner cutter, by centrifugal force,
The juice component passes through the filter and flows out to the juice collecting chamber in the box-shaped container (container). On the other hand, the slag component rises along the inclined surface of the filter and is discharged to the slag receiving container. At this time, the container upper surface on the slag receiving container side is cut out along the vicinity of the side wall of the juice collecting chamber to form an engraved portion having a substantially M-shaped planar shape, and a substantially M-shaped portion is formed so as to fit with the engraved portion. -Shaped protrusions are provided on the side wall of the slag receiving container, and the upper end surface of the protrusions is located below the cut-out portion, so that even if the slag is weakly ejected from the filter, it is substantially M-shaped. The scoop part and the protruding part of the slag receiving container that receives this part can widely receive the slag in the discharge direction,
For this reason, a part of the slag does not reach the slag receiving container and is collected in the slag receiving container without the problem of being deposited on the upper surface of the container. Also, even if slag hits the inner wall of the container lid and accumulates, the path for the slag to grow and reach the container is long, so it falls by its own weight until it reaches the container, and the slag discharge route is Prevents clogging of sediment and filling of slag inside the filter, making it impossible to squeeze juice.

Further, by providing a container perspective surface that projects obliquely downward at the approximately M-shaped cut-out portion on the top surface of the container, the slag and liquid adhering to the inner wall of the container are gradually lowered, and the slag receiving container has an upper end surface. Prevent it from adhering or getting between the container and the slag receiving container.

Example Hereinafter, one example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the juicer main body 1 includes a main body case 3 having a drive motor 2 built-in, and a box-shaped container (hereinafter referred to as a container placed on the main body case 3 and fixed by clamps 4 and 5). 6), a container lid 7 for covering the upper opening of the container 6, and a main body case 3 on one side of the container 6 and a slag receiving container 8 held between the container 6 and the main body case 3.

Inside the container 6, there is housed a spinner table 12 which is locked and interlocked with a connector lower portion 11 having a clutch pin 10 which is fitted to a drive shaft 9 of the electric motor 2 protruding from the body case 3. A cutter plate 14 formed by cutting and raising a large number of small blades 13 on the upper surface of the spinner table 12, the spinner table 12 together with a filter table 16 spot-welded with a filter 15 having a large number of small holes in the side wall of an inverted cone. Rivets are fixed. Then, between the inner wall 17 of the container 6 and the filter 15, a cup-shaped juice collecting chamber 18 for collecting the juice component that permeates through the small holes of the filter 15 is formed, and the juice outlet 19 is provided in the juice collecting chamber 18. It communicates with the bottom. In order to pour the juice flowing out from the juice outlet 19 into the cup without being scattered, the outlet lid 20 surrounds the claw of the container 6 so as to surround the juice outlet 19 except in the downward direction.
It is hooked on 21 and attached to the container 6.

In the container lid 7, a material feeding cylinder 22 is erected at a substantially central portion and its lower end is close to the cutter plate 14, and the container lid 7 is
One side of the filter 15 has an origin outside the diameter of the upper end surface of the filter 15 with respect to the center of rotation of the filter 15 with respect to the horizontal plane.
A downward slag guide inclined surface 23 is formed at an angle of 10 ° to 35 °. Further, a cleaning brush insertion hole 24 for the filter 15 is additionally provided, and a brush insertion hole lid for opening and closing the cleaning brush insertion hole 24 is provided.
25 is rotatably supported. And the material input cylinder 22
A push-in bar (26) for lowering the material into the inside is provided so as to be detachable and vertically movable.

When the material is charged into the cutter plate 14 rotating at a high speed from the material charging cylinder 22 and is pressed downward by the pushing rod 26, the material is ground by the small blade 13 of the cutter plate 14. The ground material is separated into juice and dregs by the filter 15 by centrifugal force. The juice portion enters the juice collecting chamber 18 through the small holes of the filter 15 and is stored in a cup or the like through the juice outlet port 19. The slag component rises along the inner peripheral surface of the filter 15 under the influence of centrifugal force, is guided by the guide wall 27 of the container lid 7 and is discharged to the slag receiving container 8 side. At this time, the slag particles fly along the inner ceiling surface of the container lid 7 after passing through the upper end surface of the filter 15, and then are stored in the slag receiving container 8 with the scattering angle thereof directed downward by the inclined surface 23.

Here, the container upper surface 32 on the slag receiving container 8 side is cut out along the vicinity of the side wall 30 of the juice collecting chamber to form a cutout portion 32a having a substantially M-shaped plan shape, and the cutout portion 32a is fitted. Thus, the substantially M-shaped protruding portion 31a is provided on the side wall 29 of the slag receiving container, and the range of the scooped portion 32a of the container upper surface 32 is set in the juice collecting chamber 1
The configuration is such that 1/5 or more of the circumference of 8 is closed to prevent a part of the slag from reaching the slag receiving container 8 and accumulating on the container upper surface 32 due to the weak momentum of the slag. Also, even if the slag hits the inner wall 28 of the container lid and accumulates, the path for the slag to grow and reach the upper surface 32 of the container becomes long, so it falls by its own weight before reaching the container, and the slag To prevent blocking the discharge route of. In addition, the upper end surface 31 of the protruding portion 31a of the slag receiving container 8 is positioned below the cutout portion 32a of the container upper surface 32,
Further, by providing the container inclined surface 34 in the cut-out portion 32a, the slag and the liquid component adhering to the inner wall 34 of the container 6 are gradually lowered to adhere to the upper end surface of the slag receiving container 8 or the slag receiving container 6 and the slag receiving member. It is prevented from getting into the space between the containers 8 and is surely guided to the slag receiving container 8.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above-described embodiments, the present invention forms a scooping portion having a substantially M-shaped planar shape by cutting out the container upper surface on the slag receiving container side along the vicinity of the side wall of the juice collecting chamber. By providing a substantially M-shaped projecting portion on the side wall of the slag receiving container so as to fit with the scooping portion and arranging the upper end surface of the projecting portion below the scooping portion, the material is formed. The juice is separated into juice and slag, and when the slag is discharged into the slag receiving container, the slag from the spinner is weak and the top surface of the container is scooped around the spinner in the discharging direction. , Because of the structure that receives it in the slag container, a part of the slag does not reach the slag container and is collected in the slag container without the problem of being deposited on the upper surface of the container. Also, even if slag hits the inner side wall of the container and accumulates, the path for the slag to grow and reach the container becomes long, so it falls by its own weight before reaching the container and the slag discharge route Is blocked by sediment,
Prevents the juice from being squeezed when the filter is full of slag. In addition, by positioning the upper end surface of the protruding part of the slag receiving container below the cutout part on the top surface of the container and further providing the sloped surface of the container on the cutout part, the slag and the liquid adhering to the inner wall of the container are gradually lowered. However, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is prevented from adhering to the upper end surface of the slag receiving container or entering between the container and the slag receiving container.
