Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a citrus juicer for juicing citrus fruits.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, this type of citrus juice user presses citrus fruit against a corn to squeeze out the juice, but small seeds sometimes get mixed into the juice through the filter. In order to prevent this, the pores of the filter could be made smaller, but clogging continued to occur and the filter could not be squeezed efficiently.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents the contamination of small seeds without making the small pores of the existing filter smaller, so that juice can be obtained efficiently.

Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a cone having 7 pores on the outer periphery thereof which are smaller than the pores of the filter and having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the filter.
The flange around the outer periphery of the cone catches small seeds to prevent them from getting mixed into the juice.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is an electric motor, which is attached to the main body 2 with screws 3. Reference numeral 4 designates the shaft of the electric motor 1, and the upper part of the shaft is provided so as to transmit the rotation of the electric motor 1 when it is removably fitted into a connector 6 integrated with the input shaft 6 of the reduction mechanism section. ing. 8 is a container removably placed on the main body 2 and disposed below the filter 10;
1 is a bearing of the input shaft 6 press-fitted into the gear case lid 7; 12
An oil seal is press-fitted into the gear case lid 7 to prevent liquid from entering the reduction mechanism section from the input shaft 6.

A gear 13 is assembled to transmit the rotation of the input shaft 6, and a retaining ring 14 prevents the gear from coming off the input shaft 6. The connector 5 has a structure that prevents it from coming off the gear case lid 7. ing. 16 is a gear for transmitting the reduced rotation to the internal gear 19a of the motor/19, and is integrated with the output shaft 16. The output shaft 16 is held by a bearing 17 that is press-fitted into the filter 10, and an oil seal 18 that is also press-fitted into the filter 10 prevents water from entering the deceleration mechanism from the output shaft 16 and oil from the deceleration mechanism. Prevent spills. Output shaft 1
6 is connected to the gear of the speed reduction mechanism, and has a structure that prevents it from coming off. Cone 19 is filter 10
The internal gear 19 is fitted onto the shaft 20 that is integrated with the
The electric motor 1 is rotated around the shaft 2o by the rotational torque transmitted to the
The flange portion 19b has a bowl-shaped cross section and has a small hole 26 smaller than the small hole 9, and is integrally provided on the outer periphery of the lower surface.The outer diameter of the flange portion 19b is It is smaller than the outer diameter of the filter 10. Numeral 21 is a screw for fixing the gear case lid 7 to the filter 10, and the seal 22 sandwiched between the lip 10a of the filter 10 and the lip 7a of the gear case lid 7 maintains the airtightness of the speed reduction mechanism. The filter 1o is removably fitted onto the container 8, and the container 8 is removably fitted onto the main body 2. 23 is a citrus fruit to be cut, which has an outer skin 24 on the outside and a fruit pulp 26 wrapped in an inner bag on the inside.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the electric motor 1 is rotated in the state shown in the figure, rotation is transmitted from the shaft 4 to the connector 6, and the input shaft 6 rotates at high speed.

A rotation speed that is a fraction of that of the electric motor 7 is transmitted to the output shaft 16 by a speed reduction mechanism such as the gear 13 . Next, the speed is further reduced by an internal gear 19a integrated with the gear 16 and the cone 19, and the cone 19 rotates at several tenths of the speed of the electric motor 1 around +Il+20.

Here, push the cut side of the workpiece 23 against the cone 19,
When applied, only the pulp 26 is crushed by the cone 19, and the juice, a part of the pulp 26, and a part of the inner bag are crushed by the flange 19b and the filter 10 provided all around the lower surface of the cone.
7, the juice passes through the small holes 26, 9 and enters the container 8.
Maru fell down.

At this time, it is mixed into the pulp 25 at the same time. Species smaller than the pores 9 of the filter 10 may also enter the container 8. However, there are small holes 9 all around the lower surface of the cone 19.
Since the flange portion 19b having the smaller small holes 26 is provided, small seeds are stopped at this portion and do not flow out into the container 8. Since it rotates, it does not cause clogging and there is no reduction in drawing ratio.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by making the gap between the flange portion 19b and the filter 9 about 1 to 2 degrees, clogging of the small holes 26 and 9 can be prevented, thereby improving the squeezing rate.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides seven lunges having small holes smaller than the filter ÷ r - on the outer periphery of the cone, thereby preventing the incorporation of small seeds without reducing the juice rate. This product provides a citrus juicer that can squeeze out 2 kinds of juice, and the practical effects are extremely large.
