Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of juicers, and in particular to a flap mechanism of a juicer. Background Art

[0002] As a rapid fruit and vegetable juice extraction device widely used in households and commercial fields, juicers have developed a variety of styles and working principles. Among them, patent CN1874694A discloses a small juicer design specifically for small citrus fruits, especially suitable for orange juicing. The core of the juicer lies in its juicing system based on a concave-convex drum, including key components such as a gravity supply ramp, a housing with a protective front cover, a cutting blade, a concave-convex drum, a filter, a juice and peel collection base, and a peel extraction assembly. Its operating mechanism is to cut the fruit into two parts by a cutting blade, and position and squeeze the cut fruit in different cavities of the concave drum to extract the juice, and finally achieve effective separation of the peel to ensure that the squeezed juice does not have the bitter taste of the peel, thereby improving the taste.

[0003] In order to enable the other half of the fruit to be flipped into the next concave drum after the fruit is cut into two halves, the patent also provides the following structure: a retaining swing rod (2), which has the following dual purpose, namely, allowing the fruit to enter the concave drum after the juice extraction sequence begins, and firmly holding the fruit when the blade (4) cuts the fruit. The blade, together with the triangular cutting piece supporting the flipping device, guides the half of the fruit remaining in the cavity of the concave drum to the arm of the convex drum for extracting juice; a flipping device (6), which, together with the retaining swing rod, is used to realize a system that does not require a second set of drums.

[0004] However, this method is relatively complicated in terms of structural arrangement and assembly. How to simplify the design while achieving basically the same function is the main purpose of this application. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a flap mechanism for a juicer, which improves the above-mentioned defects.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is: a flap mechanism of a juicer, comprising a body, and at least one concave rotating member and a convex rotating member arranged on the body;

[0007] The concave rotating member is provided with a plurality of concave parts, and the convex rotating member is provided with a plurality of convex parts;

[0008] The concave rotating member and the convex rotating member rotate synchronously, so that one of the convex parts is temporarily accommodated in one of the concave parts, squeezing the fruit and extracting the juice;

[0009] A cutting mechanism is also provided on the machine body;

[0010] The cutting mechanism comprises a support seat, the support seat comprises an arc-shaped side wall, the arc-shaped side wall corresponds to the outer contour of the concave rotating member and is close to it with a spacing maintained;

[0011] A blade is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the arc-shaped side wall, and a flap is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the arc-shaped side wall, and the flap can return to its original position by elastic force;

[0012] During operation, the blade is used to cut the fruit in one of the recesses into two parts, an upper part and an lower part. During the cutting process, the upper part of the fruit that has not been completely separated continues to exert downward pressure on the flap, and the flap flips the upper part of the fruit to the other recess after the fruit is completely separated.

[0013] In some embodiments, a rotating shaft is provided on the arc-shaped side wall, and two ends of the flap are sleeved on the rotating shaft, so that the flap can rotate relative to the arc-shaped side wall.

[0014] In some embodiments, a support column is also provided inside the support seat, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft; one end leg of the torsion spring abuts against the inner wall of the flap, and the other end leg abuts against the support column, so that the flap can flip back to its original position after being pressed down.

[0015] In some embodiments, a step is formed on the inner wall of the upper end of the arc-shaped side wall, a portion of the blade is placed in the step, and the inner wall of the blade is flush with the inner wall of the arc-shaped side wall.

[0016] In some embodiments, the blade is secured to the step by a plurality of fasteners.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support base further includes a connecting rod and a knob fixed to the outer end of the connecting rod, and the inner end of the connecting rod is detachably connected to the body.

[0018] In some embodiments, the inner end of the connecting rod is provided with a thread which cooperates with the thread of the machine body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to achieve. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be achieved, it should be considered that the combination of such technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, a flap 43 mechanism of a juicer is designed as follows: first, the mechanism is integrated into the body 1, and one or more concave rotating members 2 and corresponding convex rotating members 3 (in this embodiment, a single concave rotating member 2 is matched with a single convex rotating member 3) are assembled on the body 1. The concave rotating member 2 is equipped with a plurality of concave parts 21, and the convex rotating member 3 has a plurality of convex parts 31. The two parts rotate synchronously to ensure that at a certain moment, the convex part 31 will be embedded in the concave part 21, thereby effectively squeezing the fruit to extract the juice.

[0029] In addition, a cutting mechanism 4 is built into the body 1, which is responsible for cutting the fruit into two parts. The cutting mechanism 4 is mainly composed of a support seat 41, and the support seat 41 has a section of arc-shaped side wall 411, whose profile corresponds to the outer edge of the concave rotating member 2 and keeps a certain distance in contact. A blade 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped side wall 411, and a self-returning flap 43 is movably installed on its upper end, and the flap 43 can automatically reset under the elastic force.

[0030] In actual work, the blade 42 is responsible for accurately cutting the fruit in the recess 21 until it is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. During the cutting process, the upper part of the fruit that has not been completely separated will exert continuous downward pressure on the flap 43. After the fruit is completely separated, the flap 43 will flip the upper part of the fruit to another recess 21 under the action of the elastic restoring force, while the lower part remains in the original recess 21. Under the guidance and limiting function of the arc-shaped side wall 411, the lower part of the fruit rotates and combines with the convex rotating member 3 to further complete the juice extraction operation.

[0031] Reference Figure 3-6 As shown, the self-return mechanism of the flap 43 can be realized by selecting a variety of elastic elements, such as tension springs, springs or torsion springs. Here, a preferred implementation scheme is described in detail: a rotating shaft 44 is preset on the arc-shaped side wall 411, and both ends of the flap 43 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 44, so that the flap 43 can rotate freely relative to the arc-shaped side wall 411. A support column 46 is provided inside the support seat 41, and a torsion spring 45 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 44, one end of the torsion spring 45 is close to the inner wall of the flap 43, and the other end is against the support column 46, so as to ensure that the flap 43 can automatically flip back after being subjected to downward pressure.

[0032] Reference Figure 5-6 As shown, regarding the installation method of the blade 42, the top inner wall of the arc-shaped side wall 411 is configured with a step 4111 structure, a portion of the blade 42 is embedded in the step 4111, and the inner wall of the blade 42 is kept flush with the inner wall of the arc-shaped side wall 411. The blade 42 is firmly fixed on the step 4111 by a series of fasteners 47.

[0033] In addition, in order to facilitate disassembly and cleaning, the support seat 41 is also equipped with a connecting rod 5 and a knob 51 fixed at the outer end of the connecting rod 5. The inner end of the connecting rod 5 is detachably connected to the body 1. Specifically, the inner end of the connecting rod 5 has a thread, which forms a threaded connection with the body 1.
