[0033] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following will be a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The juicer with autonomous circulation and filtration function and its use method of the preferred embodiment of the present invention are as follows: Figure 1-7As shown, the juicer comprises a container 1 for containing fruits and vegetables, a rotating cutter 2 arranged at the bottom of the container 1 for chopping the fruits and vegetables, a filter barrel 3 for filtering the mixed juice containing the chopped fruits and vegetables in the container 1, and a reflux pipe 4 for returning the juice in the container 1 to the filter barrel 3 for filtering; the lower end of the filter barrel 3 is located in the container 1, generally, the filter barrel 3 can be located in the container 1 as a whole or the lower end thereof can be located in the container 1, only the opening 3a at the upper end thereof needs to be upward, further, the upper and lower ends of the reflux pipe 4 form a juice outlet end 4a and a juice inlet end 4b for guiding the juice into the filter barrel 3, respectively, an eccentric pressing part 5 is arranged on the rotating cutter 2 for pressing the juice into the juice inlet end 4b, when the juicer is started to rotate the rotating cutter 2, the rotating cutter 2 forms a certain pressure on the juice to make it move outward and then enter the juice inlet end 4b, and the filter barrel 3 is provided with an inlet 6 corresponding to the outlet of the reflux pipe 4, since the juice is continuously pressed to enter the filter barrel 3 through the reflux pipe 4, the content of solid particles such as residues and kernels in the fruit and vegetable juice can be effectively and obviously reduced, the drinking demand of the user for the fruit and vegetable juice is met, and the occurrence of the blockage of the juice outlet valve on the container 1 is prevented, wherein, during assembly, the outer wall of the filter barrel 3 moves downward along the juice outlet end 4a during insertion into the container 1 to ensure that the distance between the juice outlet end 4a and the filter barrel 3 is small enough to ensure that as much juice as possible is returned into the filter barrel 3, of course, the filter barrel 3 and the juice outlet end 4a can also be arranged in a non-adjacent manner, the juice enters the inlet 6 by using the flow inertia, but the effect is not good, in addition, the structure design of the filter barrel 3 can have multiple functions, on the one hand, it plays a role in preliminary filtering, on the other hand, after the user takes out the filter barrel 3 after the juicing and filtering are completed, a pressing rod or a spoon or the like can be inserted into the filter barrel 3 to squeeze the juice contained in the vegetable and fruit residues and then flow into the container 1 through the hole net of the filter barrel 3, thereby playing a role in secondary re-filtering, further, since the fruits and vegetables located at the upper layer need to be pressed downward during the early stage of cutting to be chopped more quickly and completely, the special structure of the filter barrel 3 can have this function, only a suitable position needs to be selected on the container 1, and then the fruits and vegetables can be pressed toward the rotating cutter 2 to speed up the crushing and juicing of the juicer, the product function of the juicer is enriched, and the user experience is improved.

[0035] Preferably, the container 1 is provided with a fixing hole 7 matched with the filter barrel 3, when assembled, the upper end of the filter barrel 3 is located outside the container 1 to facilitate taking or inserting the filter barrel 3, and also facilitates the user to view the accumulation amount of the fruit and vegetable residues in the filter barrel 3 at any time to take out and process in time.

[0036] Preferably, the container 1 includes an open container 1a and a container top cover 1b for sealing the opening of the open container 1a; a fixing hole 7 is provided on the container top cover 1b, and the filter barrel 3 can be removably provided in the fixing hole 7. Specifically, the filter barrel 3 slides with the inner wall of the fixing hole 7 to facilitate the user to insert or remove the container 1 at any time. Furthermore, in order to prevent the lower end of the filter barrel 3 from colliding with the rotating tool 2, a boss 8 is provided on the upper end of the side wall of the filter barrel 3 to play a role in being clamped on the container top cover 1b. In addition, in order to prevent the juice from overflowing from the container top cover 1b along the gap between the fixing hole 7 and the filter barrel 3 during the juice extraction and filtration process, an overflow-proof cofferdam 9 is provided on the inner wall of the container top cover 1b around the fixing port. At the same time, the overflow-proof cofferdam 9 can also stabilize the filter barrel 3 and guide it when the filter barrel 3 is moved in and out.

[0037] Preferably, the juicer also includes a squeezing rod 10 for inserting into the filter barrel 3 to squeeze the fruit residue inside it, which plays a role of secondary filtration to avoid the waste of juice contained in the vegetable and fruit residue. Specifically, during actual production, the filter barrel 3, the rotating tool 2 and the container top cover 1b are all coaxially arranged.

[0038] Preferably, this solution preferably adopts a design in which the juice outlet end 4a is not adjacent to the outer wall of the filter barrel 3, so as to provide space for the position setting of the return pipe 4 and the rotating tool 2, and ensure that the overall structure of the juicer is reasonably set and more optimized. Furthermore, the filter barrel 3 is provided with a juice receiving bridge 11 that matches the juice outlet end 4a and the liquid inlet 6 to ensure that the juice flowing out of the juice outlet end 4a can enter the interior of the filter barrel 3, wherein the juice receiving bridge 11 is generally a long strip of plate, which has a guide groove 12 to ensure the efficiency of filtration, wherein the horizontally opposite side walls of the liquid inlet 6 are provided with a rotating shaft 13 for the longitudinal rotation of the juice receiving bridge 11. When the squeezing rod 10 is outside the filter barrel 3, that is, before the squeezing rod 10 is inserted into the filter barrel 3 or inserted into the filter barrel 3 but before it contacts the juice receiving bridge 11, the juice receiving bridge 11 is connected to the filter barrel 3. The bridge 11 is maintained in an inclined state for guiding the juice flowing out of the juice outlet end 4a into the liquid inlet 6. When the squeezing rod 10 is inserted into the filter barrel 3, the lower end of the juice receiving bridge 11 is pressed down by the squeezing rod 10, so that the juice receiving bridge 11 is formed into a vertical state stored in the liquid inlet 6. The two states of the juice receiving bridge 11 can prevent the user from taking out the filter barrel 3 when forgetting to insert the squeezing rod 10. If the user does not insert the squeezing rod 10, when the filter barrel 3 is moved up, the juice receiving bridge 11 will be stuck on the bottom surface of the container top cover 1b, making it impossible for the user to further take out the filter barrel 3, thereby reminding the user to insert the squeezing rod 10, avoiding the waste of juice with heavy fruit and vegetable residues, and avoiding the situation where the user directly takes out the filter barrel 3 and causes juice to drip onto the table or the ground.

[0039] Among them, the normal state of the tilted state of the juice receiving bridge 11 can be maintained by arranging a torsion spring on the rotating shaft 13. Of course, other methods can also be used to achieve this. For example, the rotating shaft 13 is arranged in the middle of the juice receiving bridge 11 near its lower end, so that the juice receiving bridge 11 forms a top-heavy structure. In order to prevent the upper end of the juice receiving bridge 11 from tilting toward the inside of the filter barrel 3, a counterweight 14 can be arranged at the upper end of the lower surface of the juice receiving bridge 11, or a spring can be arranged on the filter barrel 3 to prevent the upper end of the juice receiving bridge 11 from tilting toward the filter barrel 3. The blocking member and other structures inside the barrel 3, further, the port of the juice outlet end 4a is tilted downward toward the liquid inlet 6, that is, the end face of the port is tilted downward toward the liquid inlet 6, for the actual use effect, to avoid rusting of the torsion spring, this solution adopts an improved way to improve the structure of the juice bridge 11 to achieve its maintaining the above-mentioned inclined state, that is, a configuration is set on the outer side wall of the juice bridge 11, and in order to further optimize the structure, the guide groove 12 on the juice bridge 11 is curved in a wave shape along the axis direction of the two rotating shafts 13 through the juice bridge 11 itself The cross section of the juice receiving bridge 11 is in the shape of a Chinese character "J", and the raised side wall thereof forms the above-mentioned counterweight 14, and the recessed side forms the guide groove 12. The two rotating shafts 13 are arranged at both ends of the Chinese character "J". When the rotating shafts 13 are arranged at the lower end positions of the two ends of the Chinese character "J", the juice receiving bridge 11 will be in an inclined state due to the uneven weight distribution at the upper and lower ends. A support seat 15 is further provided on the juice receiving bridge 11 to maintain its inclined state, so as to prevent the upper end of the juice receiving bridge 11 from continuing to fall and causing it to collide with the juice outlet end. The spacing between 4a is too large, which results in only a small part of the juice in the reflux pipe 4 entering the filter barrel 3. When the juice receiving bridge 11 is in an inclined state, the upper end of the juice receiving bridge 11 is in contact with the port of the juice outlet end 4a, and the port of the juice outlet end is used to form a locking position for the upper end of the juice receiving bridge. In conjunction with the support seat 15, it can prevent the user from pulling out the filter barrel 3 when the squeezing rod 10 is not inserted. The support seat 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the lower end of the liquid inlet 6 to ensure that the juice receiving bridge 11 can guide all the refluxed juice into the liquid inlet 6 and into the filter barrel 3.

[0040] In addition, in order to facilitate the cooperation with the support seat 15 to keep the juice receiving bridge 11 in an inclined state, the side wall of the filter barrel 3 where the liquid inlet 6 is located is protruded outward, so that the lower end side wall of the liquid inlet 6 forms a support platform 16. When the juice receiving bridge 11 performs the diversion action, the support seat 15 leans on the support platform 16. Of course, for the sake of aesthetics and practicality, the outer contour of the juice receiving bridge 11 is the same as the outer contour of the liquid inlet 6 and the two are adapted, so that when the juice receiving bridge 11 is in a vertical state, the liquid inlet 6 is just completely closed.

[0041] Preferably, the squeezing rod 10 is in a barrel shape that fits the inner cavity of the filter barrel 3 for ease of use, ensuring that after the squeezing rod 10 is inserted into the filter barrel 3, the bottom surface of the squeezing rod 10 can completely cover the vegetable and fruit residues in the filter barrel 3 and fully squeeze them, and the hollow structure can reduce costs and weight.

[0042] Preferably, when assembled in place, the return pipe 4 is fitted on the inner wall of the container 1 , and a notch 17 is provided on the lower side wall of the return pipe 4 corresponding to the pressing portion 5 for facilitating the entry of juice.

[0043] Preferably, the pressing portion 5 is a vertically arranged blade, which is generally arranged on the blade located at the bottom layer of the rotating tool 2 and is arranged in one piece, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, while also ensuring firmness. Furthermore, the end of the blade facing away from the rotating shaft 13 of the rotating tool 2 forms an acute angle with the inner wall of the container 1 along the direction of rotation to facilitate pressing the juice into the reflux pipe 4.

[0044] The method for using the juicer with autonomous circulation and filtration function according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0045] S10: putting fruits and vegetables into container 1, starting the juicer to chop and squeeze the juice by rotating the end cutter, and waiting for the juicer to run for a first preset time to ensure that the fruits and vegetables are chopped, wherein the first preset time is set by the user according to his / her needs and is not limited here;

[0046] S20 After the juicer has run for a first preset time, the filter barrel 3 is placed in the container 1 corresponding to the return pipe 4, so that the juice outlet end 4a is aligned with the liquid inlet 6. The rotating rotary cutter 2 cooperates with the pressing portion 5 to press the juice into the return pipe 4 and into the filter barrel 3. The juicer is then allowed to run for a second preset time to ensure that the fruit and vegetable residue is completely filtered. The second preset time is set by the user according to their needs and is not limited here.

[0047] S30 After the juicer has run for a second preset time, the filter barrel 3 is taken out, and the squeeze rod 10 is further inserted into the filter barrel 3 to squeeze out the juice contained in the vegetable and fruit residues, making it easier to discard the vegetable and fruit residues or use them for other purposes.

[0048] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
