In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case with an electric motor 2 provided on the inner bottom, and substantially circular recesses 3 on both sides. The electric motor 2 is located approximately in the center of this recess 3.
A turret 4 that rotates frequently is provided, and a holder 6 is further provided to the turret 4 via an arm 6. Further, a cone 7 for squeezing the fruit is provided on the trajectory along which the holder 6 rotates. The turret 4
A cylindrical cam 8 and a cam follower portion are provided in the arm 6 so that the inner surface of the holder 6 is pressed against the cone 7 when the holder 6 rotates within the recess 3 and reaches the cone end position. 9 is provided.

The holder 6 is provided with a pin 12 that is inserted into a cam groove 10 provided in the turret 4 and urged toward the turret 4 by a coil spring 11. The claw 13 inside the holder 6 opens and closes. Furthermore, a wiper 14 made of an elastic material is provided at the tip of the holder 6 so as to be able to rotate freely and come into contact with the side surface of the recess 3 of the main body case 1.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned structure will be explained. First, when a user puts a whole fruit such as an orange into the input port 16 provided at the top of the main body case 1, the fruit is cut in half by the cutter 16. and is held by a holder 6 provided at the tip of an arm 6 rotating within the recess 3 by the action of a claw 13 by a pin 12. The arm 6 further rotates within the recess 3, and the holder 6 rotates so as to press the fruit held at the position of the cone 7 against the rotating cone 7. At this time, the fruit is squeezed by the cone 7, and the fruit juice and pulp are scattered into the recess 3 and guided to the outside through the hole 17 provided at the deepest part of the recess 3. Thereafter, the squeezed waste such as fruit skin is discarded by opening the claws 13 of the holder 6 at a predetermined position. Then, the holder 6 further rotates to receive the next fruit, and by repeating the above-described operation, a large amount of fruit juice can be obtained in a short period of time. Here, the wiper 14 provided at the tip of the holder 6 moves the fruit juice or fruit adhering to the side wall of the recess 3 to the hole 17, so that the efficiency of collecting juice is greatly improved.

Furthermore, since the wiper 14 is rotatable, even when the holder 6 rotates at the cone 7 position, it reliably contacts the side wall of the recess 3.

It goes without saying that if a protrusion or the like is provided on the side wall of the recess 3 facing the cone 7 to serve as a guide for the wiper 14, the wiper 14 will not be rotated too many times due to the rotation of the holder 6. stomach.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the juicer of the present invention can improve the efficiency of collecting fruit juice and pulp by providing a wiper on the fruit holder.

Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer for commercial use. Structure of conventional example and its problems Conventionally, this type of gourd dispenser consists of a case, and a means for cutting the fruits such as oranges to be thrown. It was common to grasp the cut fruit with a holder at the tip, which consisted of an arm that rotated along the side of the case, and a squeezer placed on the trajectory of the holder. However, with this configuration, when a fruit (for example, an orange) is squeezed, the juice scatters over a wide area on the side of the case, making it difficult to collect, resulting in a very low juice rate, and cleaning up after use is troublesome. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional problems, and provides a juicer that improves the collection efficiency of fruit pulp and juice and simplifies cleaning after use. Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the juicer of the present invention includes an arm that rotates along the side of the case, a fruit holder provided at the tip of the arm, and a fruit holder provided on the trajectory of the holder. and a squeeze cone, and a wiper made of an elastic body is a part of the holder and is in contact with the inner surface of the case, so that when the fruit is squeezed, the wiper is attached to the side wall of the case, etc. It collects the pulp and juice. DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL CASE Hereinafter, one practical example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body case with an electric motor 2 provided on the inner bottom, and substantially circular recesses 3 on both sides. Approximately in the center of these four parts 3 is the electric motor 2.
A turret 4 that rotates is provided, and a holder 6 is further provided to this turret 4 via an arm 6. Further, a cone 7 for squeezing the fruit is provided on the trajectory along which the holder 6 rotates. The turret 4
A cylindrical cam 8 and a cam follower portion are provided in the arm 6 so that when the holder 6 rotates within the four parts 3 and reaches the cone 7 position, the inner surface of the holder 6 is pressed against the cone 7. 9 is set and included. The holder 6 is provided with a bottle 12 that is inserted into a cam groove 10 provided in the turret 4 and is biased toward the turret 4 by a coil spring 11. The vertical movement of the bottle 12 causes the holder to The claw 13 in 6 opens and closes. Furthermore, a wiper 14 made of an elastic material is provided at the tip of the holder 6 so as to be able to rotate freely and come into contact with the side surface of the recess 3 of the main body case 1. Next, the operation of the above-mentioned structure will be explained. First, when a user inserts a whole fruit such as an orange through the input port 15 provided at the top of the main body case 1, the fruit is cut into small pieces by the cutter 16. It is held by a holder 6 provided at the tip of an arm 5 rotating in the recess 3 by the action of a claw 13 by a bottle 12. The arm 6 further rotates within the recess 3, and the holder 6 rotates so as to press the fruit held at the position of the cone 7 against the rotating cone 7. At this time, the fruit is squeezed by the cone 7, and the fruit juice and pulp are scattered into the recess 3 and guided to the outside through the hole 17 provided at the deepest part within the four parts 3. Thereafter, the squeezed waste such as fruit skin is discarded by opening the claws 13 of the holder 6 at a predetermined position. Then, the holder 6 further rotates to receive the next fruit, and by repeating the above-described operation, a large amount of fruit juice can be obtained in a short time. Here, the wiper 14 provided at the tip of the holder 6 moves the fruit juice and fruit adhering to the side wall of the recess 3 to the hole 17, so that the efficiency of collecting juices is greatly improved. In addition, since the wiper 14 is rotatable, even when the holder 6 rotates at the cone 7 position, the wiper 14 can securely
