All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Please refer to the appendix Figures 1 - 11, in this embodiment, a juicer is provided, which is used to juice fruits. The juicer includes a body 100, a squeezing mechanism 200 for juicing installed in the body 100, a first container 300 for collecting juice, a second container 400 for collecting fruit residues, a feeding and discharging mechanism 500, and a control module 600. The control module 600 is electrically connected to the squeezing mechanism 200 and the feeding and discharging mechanism 500 respectively. A feeding channel 101 for supplying fruits is provided on the body 100, and an inlet 102 connecting to the inside of the body 100 is provided at the end of the feeding channel 101. The feeding and discharging mechanism 500 includes a first driving member 501 electrically connected to the control module 600, a material placing table 502 drivingly connected to the first driving member 501, and a feeding member 503. Driven by the first driving member 501, the material placing table 502 includes a first state for placing fruits and introducing the juice squeezed out by the squeezing mechanism 200 into the first container 300, and a second state for introducing the fruit residues after juicing by the squeezing mechanism 200 into the second container 400. The first end of the feeding member 503 is drivingly connected to the material placing table 502, and the second end of the feeding member 503 can extend outside the feeding channel 101. When the material placing table 502 is in the second state, the second end of the feeding member 503 retracts into the body 100, and when the material placing table 502 is in the first state, the second end of the feeding member 503 extends outside the feeding channel 101.

[0057] The operation is as follows: First, place the fruits to be juiced at the feeding channel 101. Driven by the first driving member 501, the second end of the feeding member 503 pushes the fruits placed in the feeding channel 101 into the inlet 102, so that the fruits enter through the inlet 102 and fall onto the material placing table 502 in the feeding and discharging mechanism 500. At this time, the squeezing mechanism 200 can be activated through the control module 600 to squeeze the fruits placed on the material placing table 502. The juice squeezed out from the fruits flows into the first container 300 along the material placing table 502 for collection. When the juicing work is completed, the squeezing mechanism 200 returns to its initial position, and the fruit residues remain on the material placing table 502. The first driving member 501 drives again, so that the material placing table 502 discharges the fruit residues into the second container 400, realizing the one-time juicing work of fruits, without the need for multiple-step operations. Moreover, the remaining fruit residues after juicing will be directly discharged into the second container 400 for collection, and at the same time, the functions of juicing and residue treatment are realized.

[0058] Furthermore, the loading platform 502 includes two guide plates 5021 respectively connected to the first driving member 501 and two loading plates 5023 for placing fruits. Driven by the first driving member 501, the two guide plates 5021 approach or move away from each other, and the guide plates 5021 are provided with guide grooves 5022 for introducing juice into the first container 300. The two loading plates 5023 are respectively installed on the two guide plates 5021, and the loading plates 5023 are provided with multiple leakage holes 5024.

[0059] The guide groove 5022 is arranged to be inclined, and the end of the guide groove 5022 close to the first container 300 is the lowest end.

[0060] See attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The structure of the material placement table 502 for conveying juice is composed of two guide plates 5021 spliced ​​together, wherein the guide groove 5022 on the guide plate 5021 is inclined. After the juice falls into the guide groove 5022, it flows along the lowest end of the inclined guide groove 5022 and flows into the first container 300. The two guide plates 5021 are also respectively installed with a material placement plate 5023. When the two material placement plates 5023 are spliced ​​together, they are used to place the fruit fed from the feed port 102. Here, this is also the operation area for the squeezing mechanism 200 to squeeze the juice from the fruit. Since a plurality of drains are provided on the material placement plate 5023, The hole 5024 is formed on the second container 300, so when the squeezing mechanism 200 squeezes the fruit, the juice of the fruit will drip from the leaking hole 5024 into the guide groove 5022 and flow into the first container 300. When the squeezing mechanism 200 completes the squeezing and returns to the initial position, the juiced pomace will remain on the two loading plates 5023. It should be noted that the second container 400 is placed directly below the loading platform 502. Therefore, under the drive of the first driving member 501, the two loading plates 5023 will move away from each other. The pomace loses the support of the loading plates 5023 and directly falls into the second container 400, completing the pomace recovery work.

[0061] Furthermore, two sliding bars 5031 are provided on the first end of the feeding member 503, and the loading platform 502 also includes two connecting members 5025, the first ends of the two connecting members 5025 are respectively fixedly connected to the two guide plates 5021, and the second ends of the two connecting members 5025 are respectively slidably connected to the two sliding bars 5031; wherein the two connecting members 5025 move synchronously with the two guide plates 5021, and the two connecting members 5025 move closer or farther away to drive the first end of the feeding member 503 to extend out of the feeding channel 101 or retract into the machine body 100.

[0062] The end surface of the second end of the connecting member 5025 and the end surface of the sliding rod 5031 are both inclined surfaces that conflict with and fit each other.

[0063] See attachedFigure 5 and attached Figure 6 The machine body 100 is provided with a slide groove slidably connected to the feeding member 503, and the side of the two slide bars 5031 away from the second end of the feeding member 503 abuts against the second end of the connecting member 5025, wherein the abutting surface is an inclined surface. Therefore, when the two guide plates 5021 approach or move away from each other, the feeding member 503 will be lifted and lowered in the slide groove in the machine body 100, wherein, Figure 5 As can be seen in the figure, two touch switches are provided on one side of the guide plate 5021 close to the first driving member 501, and the two touch switches are respectively used to detect whether the current status of the two guide plates 5021 is open or closed.

[0064] Furthermore, the juicer also includes a reset elastic member 504 installed in the body 100, a stop block 5032 is provided on the feeding member 503, a first end of the reset elastic member 504 is connected to the stop block 5032, and a second end of the reset elastic member 504 is connected to an inner wall of the body 100, and the reset elastic member 504 is used to reset the first end of the feeding member 503 to the body 100 when the two guide plates 5021 move away from each other.

[0065] See attached Figure 10 and attached Figure 11 The reset elastic member 504 is specifically a coil spring. A shaft rod for being sleeved by the reset elastic member 504 is provided in the body 100. A hole through which the shaft rod can pass is provided on the stop block 5032 on the feeding member 503. The end of the shaft rod is fixed and limited by screws and washers so that the shaft rod will not be separated from the hole on the stop block 5032. Two stop blocks 5032 and reset elastic members 504 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding member 503 to ensure that the feeding member 503 maintains balance when it is lifted or lowered. When the two guide plates 5021 are When the first driving member 501 drives them closer to each other, the connecting member 5025 squeezes the sliding rod 5031, so that the second end of the feeding member 503 is separated from the body and extends out of the feeding channel 101. At this time, the reset elastic member 503 is in a compressed state. When the two guide plates 5021 move away from each other, the connecting member 5025 squeezes the sliding rod 5031 only when the two guide plates 5021 are close to each other. Therefore, at this time, the second end of the feeding member 503 needs to be reset to the body 100 by the elastic force of the reset elastic member 503.

[0066] Furthermore, the feed channel 101 is tiltedly arranged on the machine body 100, and the feed port 102 is the lowest end of the feed channel 101. A baffle 1011 is arranged near the feed port 102 of the feed channel 101.

[0067] Specifically, the baffle 1011 is used to limit the fruits queuing in the feeding channel 101, and at this time, the second end of the feeding member 503 is used to send the fruit ranked first at the baffle 1011 to the feeding port 102. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0068] The second end of the feeding member 503 is received in the body 100. At this time, the two flow guiding plates 5021 are in a state of moving away from each other. The fruit ranked first on the feeding channel 101 is placed above the second end of the feeding member 503. When the two flow guiding plates 5021 approach and close to each other, the second end of the feeding member 503 is lifted out of the feeding channel 101 to lift the fruit. It should be noted that the second end of the feeding member 503 has the same inclined design as the feeding channel 101, so that the fruit placed on the second end of the feeding member 503 can fall onto the feeding port 102 and land on the material placing table 502. At this time, the squeezing mechanism 200 can squeeze the fruit placed on the material placing table 502. When the two flow guiding plates 5021 move away from each other and open to discharge the fruit residue into the second container 400, the second end of the feeding member 503 descends and is received in the body 100. At this time, the fruit originally ranked second in the feeding channel 101 will roll to the first place by inertia and be intercepted by the baffle 1011. The subsequent operations are repeated as above. It should be noted that the side of the second end of the feeding member 503 away from the feeding port 102 is a lifting structure. When the second end of the feeding member 503 descends but has not completely entered the body 100, the fruit on it will fall into the feeding port 102, and the next fruit will be intercepted by this lifting structure until the second end of the feeding member 503 is completely immersed in the body 100. At this time, the intercepted fruit will roll above the second end of the feeding member 503 and wait for the next feeding operation.

[0069] Further, the squeezing mechanism 200 includes a second driving member 201, a driving shaft 202 drivingly connected to the second driving member 201, and two squeezing members 203. The two squeezing members 203 are respectively installed at both ends of the driving shaft 202 and are drivingly connected to the driving shaft 202. The facing surfaces of the two squeezing members 203 are provided with mutually engaged ratchet teeth 204. Among them, under the drive of the second driving member 201, the two squeezing members 203 approach or move away from each other.

[0070] See attached Figure 7 - attached Figure 8, the two drive shafts 202 are screw rod structures, and the two ends of the screw rod structure have opposite spiral directions. The two pressing members 203 are respectively installed at the two ends of the screw rod. When the second driving member 201 drives the screw rod to rotate, the two pressing members 203 on it will approach or move away from each other. The facing surfaces of the two pressing members 203 are provided with ratchet teeth 204 structures. When the fruit falls on the feeding table 502, it is actually placed between the two pressing members 203. The setting of the ratchet teeth 204 is on the one hand to strengthen the pressure on the fruit to better fix the fruit during the extrusion process, and on the other hand, the ratchet teeth 204 on the two pressing members 203 will have uneven extrusion, so that the fruit can be juiced to a great extent and the situation of fruit waste can be reduced.

[0071] Further, sliding grooves 2031 are respectively provided on both sides of the pressing member 203. The pressing mechanism 200 further includes a splash-proof frame 205, and the two side edges of the splash-proof frame are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 2031 on both sides of the pressing member 203.

[0072] Specifically, the splash-proof frame 205 covers the two adjacent sides not touched by the two pressing members 203, and these two sides are the positions where the drive shafts 202 are located. Therefore, the splash-proof frame 205 can, on the one hand, limit the fruit within the frame, and on the other hand, when the pressing members 203 perform the pressing work, the juice of the fruit will not splash onto the drive shafts 202 or other positions.

[0073] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out here that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
