In conventional juicers, the pores of the filter that separates the raw materials into juice and lees are very small, and the juice is almost entirely liquid, with almost no solids or fibers.

However, lees contains nutrients just like juice, and it is generally said that the amount of nutrients in both juice and lees is proportional to their weight.

The amount of juice produced by conventional juicers is about 70% of the input amount for apples, and the remaining 30% is thrown away as lees.

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

In other words, 20 to 40% of the total nutrients in the raw materials are wasted without being utilized.

A spring 36 is wound around the shaft 30 and has one end fixed to the lower end of the operating shaft 28 and the other end fixed to the movable body 29, and the spring 36 generates a force that rotates the tip of the movable body 29 away from the small hole 11 of the pot 8. and arrow a
A continuous pushing force in the ' direction is applied to the movable body 29.

Reference numeral 37 denotes a stopper A that stops the movable body 29 at a position where there is a slight gap between the tip of the movable body 29 and the small hole 11 of the pot 8.
It is formed by one side of the tip of the operating shaft 28, and is in contact with a locking piece 29' that is integrated with the movable body 29.

Reference numeral 38 denotes a stopper B, which is engaged with the locking piece 29' at a position where the movable body 29 rotates in the direction of rotation of the separation basket 9 and is slightly rotated from the position where it comes into contact with the small hole wall, or at a position where there is a slight gap. It works to stop the movable body 29 by hitting the movable body 29.

Reference numeral 40 denotes a stopper D, which is provided on the opposite side of the stopper A37 at the tip of the operating shaft 28, and works together with the stopper C39 to stop the movable body 29 at a position where the tip of the movable body 29 is further away from the outer diameter of the input port 16. do.

Next, the operation and operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the switch is turned on and the electric motor is rotated, the rotation is transmitted to the separating basket 13 via the rotary table 6, and the cutter 12 and the separating basket 9 rotate at high speed.

In this state, when the material is put into the input port 16 and pressed against the cutter 12 with the push rod 22, the material is finely pulverized by the cutter 12 and collides with the pot 8 due to centrifugal force.
The juice gradually ascends the side wall of the pot 8 and is separated into juice and lees by the filter part 7.

That is, the juice passes through the large number of small holes 10 in the filter part 7, passes through the juice receiving part 18 together with solids and fibers smaller than the small holes 10, drops from the juice outlet part 20, and accumulates in the juice receiving container 23.

On the other hand, the lees rises along the upper surface of the filter part 7 and accumulates in the lees receiver 19.

Here, since a plurality of small holes 11 are also provided on the side wall of the pot 8, by rotating the operating lever 33, as shown in FIG. If the gap between the input port 16 and the cutter 12 is kept small, the operation will not normally occur, but will only occur when the final piece of material is discharged from the gap between the lower end of the input port 16 and the cutter 12 without being cut by the cutter 12. The collision brings the tip of the movable body 29 closer to the small hole 11, and the movable body 29 pushes out the crushed material from the small hole 11 to the juice receiving portion 18.

At this time, since the movable body 29 is provided with the stopper B3B, wear on the tip thereof can be reduced.

On the other hand, due to the thickness of the material attached to the pot 8, the movable body 2
If the gap between the tip of the pot 9 and the small hole 11 of the pot 8 is made small (for example, in the state shown in FIG. 4), when the material reaches a predetermined thickness, it will hit the tip of the movable body, and the movable body 29 will move in the same way. Approaching the small hole 11, the movable body 29 pushes the crushed material out of the small hole 11 and into the juice receiving portion 18.

If the external force is removed, the movable body 29 will move because the spring 36 is provided.
returns to its original position.

This spring force is smaller than the force with which the final piece of material collides with the movable body 29, and is also smaller than the adhesion force of the material adhered to the pot 8, so that the above-mentioned function is not impaired.

In addition, since the force colliding with the movable body 29 and the adhesion force differ depending on the material, in order to eliminate the difference depending on the material, or
In order to change the amount of solids and fiber released,
The force of the spring 36 may be made variable.

Further, if the stopper A37 is made movable and its position can be changed, the gap between the tip of the movable body 29 and the small hole 11 of the pot 8 becomes variable, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, when the tip of the movable body 29 and the side wall of the pot 8 come into contact and a force in the direction of arrow a is applied to the movable body 29, the hole that fits into the shaft 30 of the movable body 29 becomes a long hole 29''. spring 36
Since the movable body 29 is only pushed in the direction of the arrow a', the movable body 29 moves in the direction of the arrow a, and no unreasonable force is applied to the shaft 30 and the stopper B38.

Furthermore, even if the pot 8 is slightly deformed inward and an unreasonable force is applied to the tip of the movable body 29, the movable body 29 similarly moves in the direction of the arrow a, so that no unreasonable force is applied to the stopper B3B of the shaft 30. do not have.

In addition, the shape of the upper surface of the movable body 29 in the rotational direction of the separating basket 9 is such that the upper end is retarded and the lower end is advanced with respect to the rotational direction of the separating basket 9 (i.e., it is inclined so as to guide the material downward. ) If the surface is flat or curved, a part of the material that collides with the movable body 29 can be prevented from flying upward and adhering to the container lid 15 or the like.

Next, the case of making normal juice with low solid content and fiber content will be explained.

When making juice by putting the ingredients into the inlet 16 in the same manner as in the previous case, rotate the operating lever 33 and move the stopper A37 to close the small hole 11 as shown in FIG.
If the gap between the movable body 29 and the movable body 29 is increased, the movable body 29
is clamped and fixed by the stopper C39 and the stopper D40, so the movable body 29 does not move and the small hole 1
Compared to 1, the solid content and fiber content do not protrude at all.

This is because a large amount of material passes over the pot 8 in proportion to its area, and the small holes 11 of the pot 8 are immediately blocked by the crushed material when the material is introduced, and the solid content and fiber content are low. You can make regular juice.

If the small hole 11 of the pot 8 is provided in the side wall above the lower end of the input port 16 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the crushed material will not directly collide with the small hole 11. So,
The amount of solids and fiber mixed into juice can be further reduced, which has the effect of producing normal juice.

Furthermore, since the tip of the movable body 29 is provided with a stopper C39 and a stopper D40 for stopping the movable body 29 at a position that is further away from the outer shape of the input port 16, the material adhering to the pot 8 will not touch the outer wall of the input port 16. There is no risk of sticking (that is, if a large amount of material adheres to the pot 18, it will hit the tip of the movable body 29 and be scraped off).

). In addition, the movable body 29 is supported by a bearing portion 27 provided in a part of the input port 16, the stopper A37, and the stopper D40, so that the movable body 29 is rarely deformed.

Furthermore, since the stopper A37, stopper B38, and stopper D40 are provided on the lower side of the movable body 29 in the rotational direction of the separating basket 9, there is less adhesion of pulverized material, and their functions are reliable and easy to clean.

Further, since the stopper A37 and the stopper D40 are integrally formed with the operating shaft 28, and the movable body 29 is forcibly rotated by the stopper A37 and the stopper D40, juice etc. can be generated between the movable body 29 and the shaft 30. Even if it is stuck and difficult to move, the operation can be performed reliably.

As described above, the present invention provides a separation basket consisting of a conical filter portion having a large number of small holes, a substantially cylindrical tail portion provided at the bottom thereof and a plurality of small holes, and a cutter provided at the bottom of the separation cage. and an input section into which the material to be cut by the cutter is input, and is rotatable inside the pot section, and when rotated in the rotational direction of the separation basket, the tip thereof is inserted into the small hole wall of the pot section. comes into contact with.

Alternatively, a movable body having a small gap with the wall of the pore is provided, and this movable body is provided so that it can be separated from the wall of the pore of the vase, so that when the movable body rotates, the juice gets mixed into the juice. You can freely adjust the amount of solid content and fiber content.
Not only can you make regular juice with a low fiber content, but you can also make thick juice with high solids and fiber content and high nutritional value.Moreover, even if a movable body is installed in relation to the separating basket that rotates at high speed, the movable body can move freely. Therefore, it can be used without any danger.
