Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a juicer having a centrifugal separation basket for storing slag therein.

Structure of conventional example and its problems Dejusers have been known that have a net-like filter with fine holes inside a bottomed, almost cylindrical centrifugal cage. Since the slag adheres to the inside of the centrifuge cage together with the filter due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the centrifuge cage, it is very difficult to separate the filter and the slag from the centrifuge cage.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to make it possible to easily separate slag and filters from a centrifugal separation basket.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the juicer of the present invention provides a plurality of notches in the side wall of a bottomed, substantially cylindrical centrifugal cage having a cutter at the center bottom, and a plurality of notches surrounded by the notches. The tongue-shaped portion is configured to have elasticity.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 will be described. In the figure, 1 is the motor and the main body 2
It is attached with screws 4 via a buffer body 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a speed reduction mechanism connected to the motor 1, and a bottomed, substantially cylindrical centrifugal separation cage 7 is detachably attached to the output shaft 6 of this speed reduction mechanism 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes numerous small holes provided in the side wall of the centrifugal separation basket 7, 9 refers to horseshoe-shaped notches provided at multiple locations on the upper end of the side wall of the centrifugal separation basket 7, and 10 refers to a tongue-shaped portion surrounded by the horseshoe-shaped notches 9. It is provided so as to have elasticity in the radial direction of the centrifugal separation cage 7. Reference numeral 11 denotes a net-shaped filter having fine holes provided in the centrifugal separation cage 7. 12 is a cutter provided at the center bottom of the centrifugal separation basket 7; 13 is a juice receiving container provided on the main body 2 so as to surround the outer periphery of the centrifugal separation cage 7;
A youth outlet 14 is provided at a part of its lower end. 15 is a container lid that is removably fitted to the upper end of the juice receiving container 13 and has a material input port 16 in the center; It is a push rod for. Reference numeral 18 denotes a bottom plate that covers the lower end of the main body 2 and has legs 19 attached to its lower surface.

Next, the operation of the juicer having the above configuration will be explained. When the motor 1 is rotated, the rotation is transmitted to the centrifugal separation basket 7 through the output shaft 6, and the centrifugal separation basket 7 rotates at high speed. Here, when the material is inputted from the material input port 16 and pushed in with the push rod 17, the material is finely pulverized by the cutter 12 and flies to the inner wall of the filter 11. Among the materials accumulated inside the filter 11, the solid content remains as a squeezed slag 20, and the youthful content passes through the fine holes of the filter 11 and enters the countless small holes 8 and horseshoe-shaped notches provided in the side wall of the centrifugal separation basket 7. 9 is released by the centrifugal fraction caused by the rotation of the centrifugal separation basket 7, and is released into the juice receiving container 13.
and is taken out from the youth outlet 14.

Here, when removing the slag 20 and the filter 11 from the centrifugal separation basket 7, in the past, the slag 20 and the filter 11 were scraped out by inserting a hand from above the centrifugation cage, but in the case of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. When the elastic tongue 10 surrounded by the horseshoe-shaped notch 9 provided on the side of the basket 7 is pressed from the outside with the fingertip 21,
The tongue 10 deforms inward, and the slag 20 and filter 11 adhering to the inner wall of the centrifuge cage 7 are separated from the side wall, so that the slag 20 can be removed by simply shaking the centrifuge cage 7 lightly up and down with the top surface facing downward. and filter 1
1 can be removed from the centrifuge cage 7.
Furthermore, when the tongue-shaped portion 10 having elasticity is provided, the tongue-shaped portion 10 is slightly deformed outwardly as shown in FIG. A part of the filter 11 enters the filter 11, and the deformed part becomes a catch on the filter 11, causing the centrifugal separation basket 7 of the filter 11 to become stuck during operation.
Twisting, deformation, etc. can be prevented, and the filter 11 can be installed reliably.

In addition, the notch 9 of the centrifugal separation basket 7 is shown in FIG. 6A.
L type as shown in Figure 6B or V type as shown in Figure 6B
It is also possible to use a mold.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of notches are provided in the side wall of the centrifugal separation cage, and the tongue-shaped portion surrounded by the notches is formed to have elasticity. By pressing the shaped part from the outside with your fingertips, you can not only separate the slag and filter accumulated in the centrifugal cage from the centrifugal cage, but it is also extremely effective in preventing the filter from turning over or deforming during operation. .
