Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a centrifugal separation basket for juicing, which grate materials such as fruits and vegetables with a cutter that rotates together with the centrifugal separation basket, and obtain juice liquid through centrifugal separation.

In conventional juicers, approximately mesh-like fine holes (e.g., about 0.2 x 1.0 mm) are etched into the filter part of the centrifugal separation basket in order to obtain a juice liquid that does not contain fibers. there was.

However, in the present invention, an appropriate amount of fiber, which was conventionally discarded as waste, is actively mixed into juice liquid, and the vitamins, minerals, etc. contained in the fiber are effectively ingested, and the fiber itself is also absorbed into the digestive tract. It is possible to obtain a fiber-containing youth liquid that can be effectively applied to
The grated material on the inner circumferential surface of the filter section is prevented by the suppressing member from flowing into the waste receptacle or from fibers clogging between the basket and the inner circumferential wall of the waste receptacle and obstructing the rotation of the basket. In addition to suppressing the rate of increase in
The object of the present invention is to provide a centrifugal separation cage for a juicer, which can be manufactured easily by integrally welding the annular ring and the suppressing member while holding the filter part, and which prevents deformation of the filter part. It is.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a separation cage whose filter portion is less likely to be clogged and which is easy to clean.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to obtain a separating basket that can squeeze the grated material almost completely and prevent it from being wastefully discharged into the waste receptacle.

Other objects of the invention will become apparent from the description below.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, with reference to embodiments thereof.

In FIG. 1, a container 1 is removably placed on the upper surface of a base, and a motor shaft 2 protrudes from the center of the container. Reference numeral 3 denotes a rotary table connected to the motor shaft 2, and a centrifugal separation cage (hereinafter simply referred to as the cage) 4 is detachably connected to this rotary table. A cutter 5 for grating material is provided at the bottom of the basket 4, and 6 is a cutter base that supports the basket 4 and the cutter 5, and is detachable from the rotary base 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a waste liquid receiving part provided surrounding the outer periphery of the basket 4, and a waste liquid receiving part 8 is provided on the outer periphery. Reference numeral 9 denotes a push rod for pressing materials such as fruits and vegetables onto the cutter 5, and is adapted to be inserted into a material input portion 11 provided on a lid 10 for receiving scraps.

To explain in detail the basket 4 used in the above-mentioned juicer (FIG. 2), the filter section 12 is divided into three equal parts vertically, and each compartment has a small hole and a small hole in order from the bottom.
Medium and large holes are drilled throughout. The size of each of these holes is, if it is a circular hole, the small hole has a diameter of 1
mm, 2 mm for medium holes, and 3 mm for large holes.
The size of these pores is extremely large compared to conventional micropores, but this is because 5 to 40% of the fibers of the material are mixed into the squeezed juice liquid. In addition, the fiber content of 5 to 40% means that the entire surface has fine pores (0.2×1.0
mm), this means that 5 to 40% of the waste is discharged to the waste receiver 8, and the reason why the amount of fiber mixed in is set to 5 to 40% is that if it is less than 5%, it is different from the conventional one. There is no big difference, and if it is over 40%, it becomes too viscous and difficult to drink because it is a juice drink without adding water, so panel tests showed that around 20% is suitable. Although each hole is described as being circular, the shape is not limited to a circle, but may be any shape such as a triangle or a square, or a combination of these. As long as it is 40%, the shape, arrangement, and number may be appropriately determined.

On the outer periphery of the filter section 12, there are a small hole section A, a medium hole section B, a medium hole section B and a large hole section C, and an annular ring R ₁ , R ₂ , R ₃ at the upper end of the large hole section C. Each is provided. These rings R ₁ ~ _{R 3}
In this case, the juice liquid and fibers that have passed through the filter section 12 rise along the outer peripheral surface and flow out into the waste receiver 8, or the fibers become clogged between the basket 4 and the inner peripheral wall of the waste receiver 8, and the rotation of the basket 4 is caused. For this purpose, the annular ring R ₃
It is sufficient if only the rings R ₁ and R ₂ are provided.
This serves as reinforcement for the basket 4, which is advantageous in that it can prevent deformation of the filter portion 12 during cleaning or the like.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the filter section 1
Suppressing members S ₁ and S ₂ for suppressing the rising speed of the grated material are provided on the inner circumferential surfaces of the grated materials. These are to prevent the material from being discharged into the scrap receiver 8 without being squeezed, and they do not necessarily need to be continuous over the entire inner circumferential surface, but may be divided at equal intervals. In the case where the upper and lower parts are divided into two stages, it is preferable to install _the material so that the upper restraining member _S2 suppresses the material that is not restrained by the lower restraining member S1. In addition, some of the materials are suppressed members S ₁ and S ₂
Get over it. Furthermore, when the suppressing members S ₁ and S ₂ and the annular rings R ₁ and R ₃ are installed in correspondence with each other, manufacturing is simple if the filter portions are sandwiched and joined together by welding or the like.

In this way, the basket of the present invention has holes in the filter section,
By simply creating a structure with an area that allows 5 to 40% of the fibers to pass through the squeezed youth liquid,
It is possible to effectively ingest the vitamins, minerals, etc. contained in the fibers, and obtain fiber-containing juice liquid that has an effective effect on the digestive organs. Fibers may rise along the surface and flow into the waste liquid, or the fibers may become clogged between the basket and the inner peripheral wall of the waste receptacle.
The rotation of the basket is prevented from being inhibited, and the suppressing member suppresses the rising speed of the grated material on the inner peripheral surface of the filter part, and the annular ring and the suppressing member sandwich the filter part. By welding them together, it is possible to simplify manufacturing and prevent deformation of the filter portion, which is a remarkable effect. It should be noted that if filter portions with different pore sizes are prepared, it is possible to easily adapt to the fiber strength, length and shortness of the material, and the taste of the drinker.
