Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a juicer, and relates to a spatula for forcibly excreting dregs adhering to the inner surface of the lid.

Originally, in juicers, the material ground by the cutter is discharged into a juice container through a number of filter holes provided in the centrifugal separation basket, and the remaining lees are transferred from the upper edge of the separation basket to the lees receiving section. This method separates materials such as fruit into juice and lees by centrally excreting the waste to the side. However, the lees does not only fly out from the upper edge of the separating basket in the centrifugal direction, but also some of it flies out diagonally upward from the upper edge, and the lees inevitably sticks to the inner surface of the lid that closes the container. It is unavoidable to do so. Moreover, the release rate of lees is approximately 58
m/S, it adheres strongly to the inner surface of the lid. In view of this point, a juicer is disclosed in the specification and drawings of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-14715, which is equipped with a lees discharger that forcibly guides the lees adhering to the inner surface of the lid to a lees storage chamber. However, this type of ejector is merely a plate-like object, and is insufficiently effective in peeling off the dregs that are strongly stuck to the inner surface of the lid.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a juicer having a spatula that more efficiently strips the lees from the inner surface of the lid.

The structure consists of a base with a built-in electric motor, a youth container placed on the base and equipped with a centrifuge cage and a cutter inside, the upper opening of the youth container is covered, and the material is placed approximately in the center. A juicer consisting of a lid provided with a charging tube, in which a spatula is provided close to the lid along the inner wall and is rotatable about the loading tube as an axis, and the side edge of the spatula is tapered. .

Therefore, the tapered part of the spatula makes it possible to easily peel off the residue adhering to the inner surface of the lid, thereby significantly reducing the time and effort required for preliminary cleaning.

The present invention will be explained below based on an embodiment of a cylindrical juicer with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a juicer, which includes a base 3 with a built-in electric motor 2, a juice container 4 placed on the top surface of the base 3 and fixed by a bayonet connection, and a juice container 4 that engages with the upper periphery of the juice container 4 and has an arched shape. It is fixed with a clamp 5 and includes a container lid 6 which covers the upper opening of the container 4.

Inside the youth container 4, there is a turntable connected to a flywheel 8 which is fitted and fixed to the drive shaft 7 of the electric motor 2, which projects into the container 4 from the upper surface of the base 3, and is rotatable together with the flywheel 8. 9, an inverted truncated cone-shaped centrifugal separation cage 10 formed by insert molding on the outer periphery of the turntable 9, and a cutter plate 11 fixed to the turntable 9 by rivets.

The centrifugal separation cage 10 has a number of filter holes (not shown) formed in its side wall, and only the waste passes through the holes and is collected in the waste collection chamber 1 in the container 4.
Since it is made of thin metal plate, a reinforcing frame 10' is attached to the upper edge. The cutter plate 11 is made of a hard metal disk and has a large number of blades 13 cut and raised on the surface thereof.

14 is an annular member made of synthetic resin, and the lid 6
A lees receiving portion 15 is formed between the inner circumferential wall of the container and the inner circumferential wall of the container. The inner peripheral edge of the annular member 14 is connected to the separating basket 10.
while the outer peripheral edge is located near the upper edge of the lid 6.
It is to be joined to the lower edge of the. The lees discharged from the upper edge of the separation basket 10 is transferred to the annular member 1.
Collected on 4th.

At approximately the center of the lid 6, the cutter plate 1 is attached at the lower end.
A material input cylinder 16 is provided close to the cylinder 1, and the material is input through an opening at the top of the cylinder 16 and pressed by a push rod 17 to be crushed. And injection tube 1
An annular knob 18 that substantially matches the outer periphery of the lid 6 is provided in the upwardly extending portion of the lid 6, and a plurality of arcuate slits 1 are provided around the charging tube 16.
9 and 20 are provided, and a locking pawl 21 that moves within the slits 19 and 20 is provided on the annular knob 18 to rotatably hold the knob 18 on the inner surface of the lid 6.
The locking pawl 21 of the knob 18 locks a spatula 22, which is bent over the entire inner surface of the lid 6. are held in the lid 6 to prevent them from coming off each other. The lower end of the spatula 22 is located below the upper edge of the centrifugal separation cage 10 and extends into the annular member 14 .

A juice outlet 23 is provided at the lower side edge of the container 4.
is arranged to communicate with the juice collection chamber 12, and a cup or the like is placed below the outlet 23 to take out the juice from the juicer to the outside.

As shown in FIGS. 3a, b, and c, the spatula 22 has a tapered side edge 24 to facilitate peeling off the dregs adhering to the inner surface of the lid 6.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

Normally, when the spatula 22 is set at an arbitrary position and the material introduced into the material input tube 16 is pressed against the cutter plate 11 that rotates rapidly at about 10,000 revolutions per minute to grind it, the remaining amount of the material is It passes through the filter hole of the centrifugal separation basket 10 and once enters the juice collection chamber 12, and is taken out to the outside of the juicer through the juice extraction port 23. On the other hand, the lees protrudes from the upper edge of the centrifugal separation basket 10, and most of it is accommodated in the annular member 14, but the lees that protrudes somewhat diagonally upwards adheres to the inner surface of the lid 6 and is deposited in the annular member 14. Do not enter. Therefore, after extracting the juice, the annular knob 18 is inserted into the arcuate slit 1.
9 and 20, the spatula 22 rotates as if to peel off the adhering lees, and the edge of the taper 24 effectively and smoothly removes the lees from the annular member 14. drop it to Thereafter, the lid 6 is removed from the container 4, and at the same time, the annular member 14 is removed from the container 4, the annular member 14 and the lid 6 are separated, and the dregs are discarded, followed by washing.

The lower end of the spatula 22 is located below the upper edge of the centrifugal separation basket 10 and extends into the annular member 14, so that the dregs stripped off by the spatula 22 are securely removed from the annular member 14. It is housed in the member 14. Further, the inner circumferential edge of the annular member 14 is close to the upper edge of the separation basket 10, so that the dregs blown away from the upper edge and directed toward the annular member 14 are surely collected.

As described above, the present invention is equipped with a spatula that is close to the inner wall of the lid and is rotatable around the input tube, and the side edge of the spatula is tapered, so it is naturally better than a simple spatula. Dirt adhering to the inner surface of the lid can be efficiently and smoothly dropped into the annular member, and since the lid is substantially clean before main cleaning, a reduction in cleaning time can be expected. Furthermore, in the case where the spatula is made of an elastic material such as synthetic resin, the spatula is sufficiently pressed against the inner surface of the lid, so that it is possible to peel off the dregs adhering to the inner surface of the lid without leaving any residue, and it is possible to peel off the dregs adhering to the inner surface of the lid without leaving any residue. It can also absorb vibrations between the lid and the broom, and is expected to have the effect of preventing unnecessary noise.
