Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a juicer that squeezes juice with a separation basket, and aims to increase the juice rate.

Generally, this kind of juicer with a conical separation basket is
It is widely used because it is easy to separate and collect the juice and lees, but on the other hand, it has the disadvantage of a low juice yield.

The cone angle of inclination of the separation corner is determined empirically due to the need to apply it to a variety of materials, and it is practically impossible to improve the juice ratio by changing this angle of inclination.

In a conventional juicer, for example, when apples are used as raw material, approximately 70% of the input weight becomes juice, and the remaining 30% is discarded as lees.

There are also differences in degree with other materials, but from 20 to 20% of the input weight.
40% was thrown away as waste.

However, the reality is that the lees still contains juice, and from a nutritional standpoint, it is generally said that the amount of nutrients in both juice and lees is proportional to their weight. This means that conventional products were used extremely uneconomically.

A specific structure that is effective in increasing the juice rate is that a nearly cylindrical tail is provided at the bottom of a conical filter, and the material crushed with a cutter is made to collide with the inner wall of this pot, and then filtered. A method has been proposed in which the juice and lees are separated by guiding a part of the juice.

It has also been experimentally confirmed that the provision of this pot portion improves the juice rate.

The reason why the juice rate improves is that the juice and lees are primarily separated by colliding with the inner wall of the pot, in other words, preliminary separation is achieved, so the separation effect between the juice and lees is achieved on the conical surface of the filter. This is thought to be because it is encouraged.

As a result of various experiments, it was found that the cylindrical wall of this pot part should be configured vertically. It is desirable to be as deep as possible based on the premise that this will be the case.

However, finishing the inner wall of the jug vertically is fundamentally difficult in press processing, and deep squeezing is difficult in machining, and there are many inconveniences such as increasing the size of the entire juicer.

The present invention solves these disadvantages and provides a concrete solution that can dramatically improve the juice ratio.

Based on the above-mentioned study of the conventional example, the present inventor has determined that it is sufficient to take measures to allow the material to remain in the pot for as long as possible within the range that can ensure smooth guidance of the material from the pot to the part of the filter. We focused on

Moreover, this requires that the cylindrical wall of the pot have a sufficient inclination (taper) necessary for pressing, and that the depth of the pot be extremely shallow.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a container, 2 is a motor shaft, 3 is a rotary table fixed to this motor shaft, 4 is a separation cage table fitted to this rotary table 3,
Reference numeral 5 denotes a separation cage fixed to the separation cage stand 4, which includes a conical filter portion 6, a pot portion 7 provided continuously at the bottom of the filter portion 6, and a pot portion I located on the bottom surface thereof. A cutter 8 is provided.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an input port that is integrally formed with a container lid (not shown) facing the cutter 8, and its lower surface is provided with a small gap from the upper surface of the cutter 8.

The cylindrical wall of the pot part 10 may be formed with a slightly conical taper, and the inner surface of the cylindrical wall has a number of protrusions 1.
0 is formed.

This protrusion is formed by stamping or the like from the peripheral wall of the pot 1.

The protrusion height of the protrusions should be approximately 1 mm at most (as shown in the embodiment drawings, it is preferable to provide several rows in the height direction of the cylindrical wall of the pot 1, and moreover, to provide them in a staggered pattern.

Reference numeral 11 indicates a plurality of small holes provided in the peripheral wall of the pot portion 10.

The small holes 11 are provided to intentionally mix solids and fibers into the juice to obtain a concentrated juice with high nutritional value.

Further, reference numeral 12 in the figure indicates a large number of small holes bored in the conical surface of the filter part 6.

As described above, according to the present invention, the protrusion 10 provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the pot part 10 restricts the transfer of material from the pot part I to the filter part 6, and in the pot part 7, juice and dregs are separated. was sufficiently pre-separated, and the juice rate was dramatically improved.

Moreover, as a result, the depth of the pot 1 can be made as shallow as possible, and the cylindrical wall of the pot 70 is not necessarily vertical.
Since it is possible to provide sufficient taper necessary for press processing, processing is easy, it can be provided at low cost, and an improvement in the juice rate has been achieved.
