Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a waste retention type juicer for extracting juice from vegetables, fruits, etc.

Configuration of conventional example and its problems
It is shown in Fig. 2. 1 is a cylindrical spinner with a bottom and a non-porous side wall; 2 is a cylindrical filter detachably attached to the inner surface of the spinner 1; The filter 2 has a flange 3 on the upper part, and a slit 5 on the inner wall surface 4 as shown in FIG.
A large number of passages 6 are provided in the vertical direction, and a triangular passage 6 having irregularities for passing the juice liquid is provided on the outer periphery.

Here, in order to obtain the use liquid, the material is cut by rotating a metal-like cutter, this is stopped on the inner wall surface of the filter 2, and the use liquid is extracted along the inner wall surface of the spinner 1 through the slit 5 and the passage 6. do. However, its drawbacks include the following. That is, the centrifugal force causes debris of the material to be separated to stick into the slit 5, impairing the flow of the juice liquid. Therefore, squeezing out the juice liquid becomes difficult. In addition, the waste (solid content) coming out of the slit 5 mixes into the juice liquid, resulting in a juice liquid that is difficult to drink.

Further, since the scum was firmly stuck in the slit 5 of the filter 2, it was difficult to dispose of the scum after extracting the juice liquid.

In addition, it is known that this kind of waste retention type juicer is equipped with a film-like filter having a large number of small holes in close contact with the spinner to eliminate the sticking of dirt and to obtain clear juice. However, since the filter is film-like, it is difficult to handle, and the many small pores are covered with debris, which is difficult to remove.

It is also possible to combine the above two conventional techniques, but both have problems with waste disposal.
Simply combining them will not solve the problem.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a juicer that can improve the squeezing rate and obtain a clear juice liquid, as well as easily remove the residue attached to the filter.

Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a filter that is made of a sheet-like elastic material and has a large number of slits in the longitudinal direction, and is mounted in close contact with the inner wall surface of a spinner, and is compressed by being forced to the close contact surface between the spinner and the filter by centrifugal force. The filter is deformed in the center direction by the force of the liquid component of the material to be separated in the center direction, so that only the use liquid rises along the inner wall surface of the spinner and is discharged to the outside.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 5. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 10 is a cylindrical spinner with a bottom, which has a non-porous side wall, has a cavity at its uppermost outer periphery, and has a liquid balancer 11 in which a liquid is sealed. And at the bottom,
A cutter 13 having a cutter blade 12 shaped like a metal cutter is fixed.

14 is a cylindrical filter, and the spinner 1
0, and has a flange 15 on the top.
A large number of slits 16 are provided in the vertical direction downward from the outer peripheral end of the flange 15.
It is made into a thin sheet-like elastic body due to the thickness of the plate.
As shown in FIG. 5, the outer periphery 17 of the filter 14 is in close contact with the inner surface of the spinner 10. 18 is a material input port provided opposite to the cutter 12.

Next, the operating state during juice extraction will be explained. First, when the filter 14 is fitted into the spinner 10 and a lid (not shown) is attached, the material input port 18 integrated with the lid fits into a predetermined position. Next, while rotating the spinner 10 at high speed, material is introduced from the material input port 18, and a metal-shaped cutter 13 is formed.
The material is finely cut by the filter 14.
Adheres to the inner wall surface of the

This adhered material to be separated is compressed by centrifugal force. At this time, among the materials to be separated (liquid and dregs), the liquid component has a higher specific gravity than the dregs, so it gathers outward from the dregs. This liquid component is pumped from the slit 16 to the close contact surface between the spinner 10 and the filter 14 by centrifugal force, and the component force of the compressed liquid toward the center of the spinner 10 slightly deforms the filter 14 toward the center, resulting in this deformation. The liquid in the gap between the spinner 10 and the filter 14 which is generated by this process rises along the inner wall surface of the spinner 10 due to the upward component of the centrifugal force generated in the liquid and is discharged from the spinner 10 to the outside.

Therefore, the scum compressed by the filter 14 due to the component force in the center direction of the liquid compressed between the spinner 10 and the filter 14 does not pass through the slit 16, but only the liquid passes. A clear juice liquid with no dregs mixed in can be obtained, and since the dregs do not stick into the slit 16, the dregs can be easily removed from the filter 14, and the post-treatment of the dregs after squeezing can be easily performed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, since the filter is a sheet-like elastic body and has a large number of slits in the longitudinal direction, the liquid and waste of the material to be separated that are pressed against the filter by centrifugal force are removed. The liquid is pumped through the slit to the close contact surface between the spinner and the filter, and the force of the compressed liquid toward the center slightly deforms the filter toward the center, while the upward force causes the inner wall of the spinner to rise. On the other hand, the scum does not pass through the slit due to the pressure of the liquid between the deformed holes in the filter, so a clear juice liquid containing no solids of scum is created, and the scum flows through the slit. Since it does not penetrate the filter, it is possible to squeeze out the waste easily, greatly improving the squeezing rate, and it also makes it possible to greatly improve the operability of removing debris compared to a filter, which provides excellent effects that were not available before. .

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A filter made of sheet-like elastic material with many longitudinal slits is attached closely to the inner wall surface of the spinner, and the liquid fraction of the material to be separated is compressed by being forced to the close contact surface of the spinner and filter by centrifugal force. The filter is designed to deform the filter toward the center using a force toward the center of the filter.
