Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a juicer for crushing vegetables or fruits and centrifuging juice.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIG. 8, a juicer of this type includes a main body 2 having a built-in electric motor 1 and a container 3 which is detachably mounted on the main body 2. Has a separation cage 5 that is rotated by being coupled to a rotation shaft 4 of the electric motor 1. Inside the separation cage 5, a filter 7 having a large number of thin slits 6 is provided, and an inner bottom portion is provided with an upper surface. A plate-shaped cutter 9 having a blade 8 is fixed, and a material is supplied onto the cutter 9 from an input port 11 provided in a container lid 10 that covers the upper opening of the container 3, and the material is supplied by a pushing rod 12 to the cutter. It is configured to be pressed against the 9.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional juicer, the crushed material of the material crushed by the cutter 9 scatters to the side of the cutter 9 and adheres to the inside of the filter 7 as shown in FIG. A layer W is formed. Then, the juice passes through the layer W of the crushed material and the slit 6 of the filter 7, passes between the separation basket 5 and the filter 7, and is discharged to the container 3.

At this time, if the width of the slit 6 of the filter 7 is wide, the crushed material enters the slit 6, the place where the juice liquid flows disappears, the filter 7 does not serve as a filter, and the juice liquid is not separated. Therefore, the width of the slit 6 may not be so narrow due to processing, and thus the slit 6 is formed with a width of about 0.5 mm. Therefore, until the layer W of the crushed material is formed inside the filter 7, the crushed material of 0.5 mm or less passes through the slit 6 of the filter 7 together with the juice liquid, and as a result,
The amount of fiber contained in the juice liquid increased, and it was impossible to drink clear juice with little fiber contained. In addition, the fibrous material of the crushed material is the slit 6 of the filter 7.
The layer W of the crushed material attached to the inside of the filter 7 is difficult to separate after being used after being sandwiched between the slits 6 and
There was a problem that cleaning of the crushed crushed material becomes complicated.

The juicer of the present invention solves such a problem, and makes it possible to separately prepare juice with a small amount of fiber and juice with a certain amount of fiber according to preference, and to easily dispose of the crushed product after use. With the goal.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a detachable inner basket that is detachably attached to the inside of a separation basket having a plurality of protrusions on a cylindrical inner wall. The basket is formed by forming a groove portion on the outside through which the juice liquid flows, and connecting a plurality of ribs each having a width narrower than the width of the separation basket and the distance between the projections and the projection, and the inner wall of the separation basket. A filter is formed in the space between the inner basket and the inner basket so that it can be switched between a position where the protrusion of the inner wall of the separation basket and the rib overlap and a position where the protrusion is cut between the ribs. It was made to let.

Action With this configuration, the filter gap is large at the position where the ribs of the inner basket overlap the protrusions, and the gap between the filters is small at the position where the protrusions are between the ribs. It is possible to make different types of juice and juice with less fibrous material, and the number of ribs is smaller than that of the conventional type so that the crushed material attached to the inner basket is easy to separate and is easy to wash.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In the figure, 13 is an electric motor built in the main body 14, and a container 15 is detachably provided on the front raising main body 14,
The container 15 has a cylindrical separation cage 17 that is rotated by being coupled to the rotary shaft 16 of the electric motor 13, and the inner wall of the separation cage 17 has a plurality of annular cages at regular intervals. The protrusion 18 is provided. An inner basket 19 is detachably fitted inside the separation basket 17. The inner basket 19 is formed with a groove portion 20 through which the juice flows, and a plurality of ribs 21 having a width narrower than the width of the space between the projections 18 and the projections are connected to each other at intervals. The filter is formed by the gap 22 between the rib 21 and the inner wall of the separation basket 17.
The gap 22 can be easily formed by providing a protrusion at a portion of the rib 21 facing the separation cage 17, but even if the protrusion is not provided, a gap that is naturally formed due to dimensional accuracy in processing is used. You may. And separation basket 17 and inner basket 19 are inner baskets
A bayonet connection can be made between the protrusion 23 provided on the 19 and the notch 24 provided on the separation basket 17.
If four bayonet connecting portions of this separation basket 17 are provided at every 90 ° and 30 ribs of the inner basket 19 are provided at every 12 °, the fourth
As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 5, by changing the bayonet coupling of the separation cage 17 and the inner cage 19 by 90 °, the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separation cage 17 is changed.
When the ribs come between the ribs 21 (Fig. 4), the separation cage
It can be switched to the case where the projection 18 on the inner wall of 17 and the rib 21 overlap (FIG. 5). In addition to the above setting, when the ribs of the inner basket 19 are 36 at every 10 °, the notches 24 provided in the separation basket 17 are set at 8 places at every 45 °, and the inner basket 19 and the separation basket 17 are provided. By changing the coupling of 45 °, it is possible to switch between the case where the protrusion 18 on the inner wall of the separation basket 17 comes between the ribs 21 and the rib 21 and the case where the protrusion 18 and the rib 21 on the inner wall of the separation basket 17 overlap. . In short, the protrusions 18 on the inner wall of the separation basket 17 are ribs 21 and ribs 21.
There is no particular limitation on the means, as long as it can be switched between the case where the protrusions 18 and the ribs 21 on the inner wall of the separation basket 17 are overlapped with each other, and the means therefor.

25 is a cutter fixed to the inner bottom portion of the separation basket 17, a blade 26 is provided on the upper surface, and the material is supplied from the input port 28 provided in the container lid 27 that covers the upper opening of the container 15 to the cutter 25. It is configured so that the material is supplied to the upper part and the material is pressed against the cutter 25 by the push rod 29.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. First, when making clear juice, fit the inner basket 19 inside the separation basket 17 so that the protrusions 18 of the separation basket 17 come between the ribs 21 of the inner basket 19 as shown in FIG. Let Then, the separation basket 17 is coupled to the rotating shaft 16 of the electric motor 13 protruding into the container 15, the container lid 27 is closed to drive the electric motor 13, and the charging port 28
When the material is more loaded and pushed by the pushing rod 29, the material is crushed by the blade 26 of the cutter 25 provided on the inner bottom portion of the separation basket 17.
The crushed material flies to the side of the cutter 25 and adheres to the inner walls of the inner basket 19 and the separation basket 17 as shown in FIG. 6 to form a layer W'of the crushed material. Then, the juice liquid passes through the layer W ′ of the crushed material and the gap 22 between the inner basket 19 and the separation basket 17, and the rib of the inner basket 19 is passed.
It is discharged from the upper end of the separation basket 17 into the container 15 through the groove 20 provided on the outer side of 21 and the groove 19a of the inner basket 19 interlocking with the groove 20. In this case, the inner wall of the separation basket 17 and the rib 21 of the inner basket 19
Since there is no protrusion 18 of the separation basket 17 between them, the gap 22 is formed narrow, so that the fiber is not mixed and a clear juice liquid can be obtained.

Next, when making juice with a certain amount of fiber, insert the inner basket 19 inside the separation basket 17 so that the ribs 21 of the inner basket 19 and the protrusions 18 of the separation basket 17 overlap as shown in FIG. As with the case of making clear juice, when the separation basket 17 is set and the ingredients are charged from the charging port 28 to make juice, the ribs ride on the protrusions between the ribs 21 of the inner basket 19 on the inner wall of the separation basket 17. Since a larger gap than that in the case of FIG. 4 is formed by that amount, a part of the pulverized material between the ribs 21 and the ribs 21 passes through the groove portion 20 outside the ribs 21 and is mixed in the juice liquid. In this case, the height of the protrusions 18 can be used to arbitrarily determine how much fiber is mixed into the juice liquid.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, even if the number of the ribs 21 of the inner basket 19 in the juicer of the present invention is half that of the filter 7 of the conventional juicer, the gap 22 (slit 6 in the conventional juicer) is formed. The number can be the same (at points A to D),
The amount of pure liquid component excluding fiber in the juice liquid can be the same as that of a conventional juicer.

Next, after use, the container lid 27 is opened and the inner basket 19 is removed from the separation basket 17. In this case, the crushed material layer W'is a large number of ribs of the inner basket 19.
21 and the separation basket 17 are adhered, but when the inner basket 19 is removed, the layer W ′ of the crushed material comes off while being almost adhered to the ribs 21 of the inner basket 19. Then, after this, the layer W'of the pulverized material attached to the inner basket 19 is treated. In this case, materials such as mandarin oranges, pineapples and tomatoes have a strong adhesive force and are difficult to remove. As shown in FIG. 6, when the pitch of the ribs of the inner basket 19 is doubled (the number of ribs is half), the adhesive force of the layer W ′ of the ground material is halved. Therefore, when the inner basket 19 is shaken vigorously, the layer W'of the adhering pulverized material is peeled off so that the layer of the pulverized material not adhering to the ribs 21 of the inner cage 19 is pulled while being moved, and removed. After that, even if the separation basket 17 is fitted again and the operation is performed, the layer of the pulverized material is scarcely attached, so that the vibration does not occur. Also, the inner basket 19 can be easily washed with water. Especially rib 21
Since the gap between the rib 21 and the rib 21 is large, it can be easily washed by moving the inner basket 19 in the water tub.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the above description, the juicer of the present invention has the following features.

(1) Since a filter is formed between the inner wall of the separation basket and the ribs of the inner basket, it is possible to easily set it in processing even if the gap is 0.5 mm or less, and as a result, there is little mixing of fiber in the juice liquid. You can get a clear juice,
By making the ribs of the inner basket and the protrusions of the separation basket overlap with each other and increasing the gap between the inner wall of the separation basket and the ribs, it is possible to make juice containing a certain amount of fibrous substance.

(2) Even if the number of ribs is smaller than that of the conventional juicer, two ribs can be formed to perform a filtering action for one rib, so that the crushed product can be removed from the inner basket without lowering the juice rate. The inner cage can be cleaned very easily because the ribs can be separated easily and the rib gap is wide.
