Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of juicers, in particular to a horizontal screw juicer with adjustable residue discharge gap. Background Art

[0002] A horizontal screw juicer is a commonly used kitchen appliance, which includes a machine base assembly and a juicing assembly arranged on the machine base assembly. The juicing assembly includes a juicing cavity, a screw body accommodated in the juicing cavity, and a residue discharge assembly arranged at the front end of the juice collection cavity. A residue discharge hole is formed in the residue discharge assembly. During use, the power output end of the machine base assembly drives the screw body to rotate. The fruits and vegetables to be processed in the juicing cavity are squeezed to produce juice under the extrusion of the screw body and the inner wall of the juicing cavity. The fruit juice is discharged from the bottom of the juicing cavity, and the fruit residue is continuously pushed forward by the screw body and discharged from the residue discharge hole to achieve juice extraction and separation.

[0003] Currently, the residue discharge cross-section of the residue discharge hole of the horizontal juicer on the market is fixed. If the residue discharge hole is set large, the residue of hard fruits and vegetables (such as carrots, celery, pomegranates and other hard fruits and vegetables) will be discharged too fast, and the juice yield will decrease; if the residue discharge hole is set small, the residue of soft fruits and vegetables (such as tomatoes, grapes, bananas and other soft fruits and vegetables) cannot be discharged smoothly, resulting in the blockage of the residue discharge hole. The residue discharge hole cannot be adjusted according to different materials, and the applicable fruits and vegetables are relatively limited. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this purpose, the utility model provides a horizontal screw juicer with adjustable residue discharge gap, which can improve the versatility of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0005] The horizontal screw juicer with adjustable residue discharge gap according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a machine base assembly, a juicing assembly, a residue discharge assembly, a plugging member and an adjusting member. The machine base assembly has a power output end. The juicing assembly includes a juicing cylinder and a screw body. The screw body is connected to the power output end.

The plugging member includes a first connecting portion and a first deformable portion connected to the first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is connected to the residue discharge assembly. The first deformable portion and the side wall of the residue discharge hole enclose a residue discharge gap. The adjusting member is movably arranged on the residue discharge assembly, and the adjusting member is used to adjust the size of the residue discharge gap.

[0006] The horizontal screw juicer with adjustable residue discharge gap according to the embodiment of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0007] The plugging member is made of elastic soft rubber materials such as silicone or rubber. When the screw body discharges fruit residues, the fruit residues push and press the first deformation part to deform, so as to generate a residue discharge gap. When the screw body does not discharge fruit residues, the first deformation part rebounds under the action of its own elasticity to close the residue discharge hole. If the user juiced hard fruits and vegetables, the deformation range of the first deformation part can be reduced through the adjusting member, so that the residue discharge gap is reduced, the residue discharge speed of hard fruits and vegetables can be reduced, thereby increasing the pressing time of hard fruits and vegetables, and the juice yield of hard fruits and vegetables can be improved. If the user juiced soft fruits and vegetables, the deformation range of the first deformation part can be increased through the adjusting member, so that the residue discharge gap is increased, and the fruit residues of soft fruits and vegetables can smoothly discharge from the residue discharge hole, which can avoid the blockage of the residue discharge gap, enable the horizontal screw juicer to be applicable to different fruits and vegetables, and improve the versatility of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, A horizontal screw juicer with adjustable slag discharge gap according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a machine base assembly 100, a juice extraction assembly 200, a slag discharge assembly 300, a plugging member 400 and an adjusting member 500. The machine base assembly 100 has a power output end 110. The juice extraction assembly 200 includes a juice extraction cylinder 210 and a screw body 220. The screw body 220 is connected to the power output end 110. The juice extraction cylinder 210 is provided with a juice extraction cavity 211. The juice extraction cylinder 210 is connected to the machine base assembly 100. The screw body 220 is accommodated in the juice extraction cavity 211. The slag discharge assembly 300 is connected to the juice extraction cylinder 210. The slag discharge assembly 300 is provided with a slag discharge hole 301 communicating with the juice extraction cavity 211. The plugging member 400 includes a first connection portion 410 and a first deformation portion 420 connected to the first connection portion 410. The first connection portion 410 is connected to the slag discharge assembly 300. The first deformation portion 420 and the side wall of the slag discharge hole 301 enclose a slag discharge gap. The adjusting member 500 is movably arranged on the slag discharge assembly 300. The adjusting member 500 is used to adjust the size of the slag discharge gap. In this way, by setting the adjusting member 500, the size of the slag discharge gap can be adjusted to suit different fruits and vegetables, and the versatility of the horizontal screw juicer can be improved.

[0034] Specifically, the plugging member 400 is made of an elastic soft rubber material such as silicone or rubber. When the screw body 220 discharges fruit residues, the fruit residues push the first deformation portion 420 to deform to generate a slag discharge gap. When the screw body 220 does not discharge fruit residues, the first deformation portion 420 rebounds under the action of its own elasticity to close the slag discharge hole 301. If the user juices hard fruits and vegetables, the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420 can be reduced through the adjusting member 500 to reduce the slag discharge gap, which can reduce the slag discharge speed of hard fruits and vegetables, thereby increasing the pressing time of hard fruits and vegetables and improving the juice yield of hard fruits and vegetables. If the user juices soft fruits and vegetables, the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420 can be increased through the adjusting member 500 to increase the slag discharge gap, so that the fruit residues of soft fruits and vegetables can smoothly discharge from the slag discharge hole 301, which can avoid blocking the slag discharge gap and make the horizontal screw juicer applicable to different fruits and vegetables, improving the versatility of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , In some embodiments of the present utility model, the slag discharge assembly 300 includes an end cover 310 and a deformation member 320 arranged on the end cover 310. The end cover 310 is connected to one end of the juice extraction cylinder 210 away from the power output end 110. The end cover 310 and the deformation member 320 enclose a slag discharge hole 301. The adjusting member 500 can push the deformation member 320 to abut against the first deformation portion 420 to adjust the size of the slag discharge gap, without the need to open an avoidance hole on the side wall of the slag discharge channel to avoid the adjusting member 500, which can simplify the structure of the slag discharge assembly 300 and facilitate the production and manufacture of a horizontal screw juicer with an adjustable slag discharge gap.

[0036] Specifically, the adjusting member 500 is located outside the slag discharge channel. By providing the deformable member 320, the adjusting member 500 can cause the deformable member 320 to deform by pushing, thereby controlling the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420 and being able to adjust the size of the slag discharge gap. There is no need to provide an avoidance hole on the side wall of the slag discharge channel to avoid the adjusting member 500, which can simplify the structure of the slag discharge assembly 300, facilitating the production and manufacture of a horizontal screw juicer with an adjustable slag discharge gap.

[0037] Referring to Figures 5 to 7 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting member 500 includes a main body portion 510 and an abutting portion 520 connected to the main body portion 510. The abutting portion 520 is provided with a first avoidance groove 521. The main body portion 510 is rotatably disposed on the end cover 310, so that the adjusting member 500 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the abutting portion 520 can abut against the deformable member 320. In the second state, the deformable member 320 is partially received in the first avoidance groove 521, which can facilitate the adjustment of the size of the slag discharge gap.

[0038] Specifically, when the user rotates the main body portion 510, the adjusting member 500 switches between the first state and the second state. When the adjusting member 500 is in the first state, the abutting portion 520 abuts against the deformable member 320, causing the deformable member 320 to abut against the first deformation portion 420, which can reduce the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420, thereby reducing the slag discharge gap. When the adjusting member 500 is in the second state, the deformable member 320 is partially received in the first avoidance groove 521 and does not abut against the abutting portion 520, which can increase the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420, thereby increasing the slag discharge gap. The operation is simple, convenient and fast, and can facilitate the adjustment of the size of the slag discharge gap.

[0039] It should be noted that the slag discharge assembly 300 further includes a mounting cover. The mounting cover is detachably connected to the end cover 310. The main body portion 510 is located between the mounting cover and the end cover 310, which can prevent the main body portion 510 from separating from the end cover 310, facilitating the organization of the adjusting member 500, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present invention, along the concave direction of the first avoidance groove 521, the distance between the opposite side walls of the first avoidance groove 521 gradually decreases, which can steplessly adjust the size of the slag discharge gap to improve the versatility of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main body portion 510 and the abutting portion 520 are of an integral structure, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the molds and further reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0042] Specifically, the main body portion 510 and the abutting portion 520 can be integrally formed by injection molding, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the molds, and further reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the horizontal screw juicer.

[0043] Of course, in some specific embodiments, the main body portion 510 and the abutting portion 520 can also be connected by bolting or welding, which is not limited herein. Among them, the welding methods include but are not limited to resistance welding, laser welding, or ultrasonic welding, etc.

[0044] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the deformation member 320 includes a second connecting portion 321 and a second deformation portion 322. The second connecting portion 321 and the end cover 310 enclose a slag discharge hole 301. The second deformation portion 322 is accommodated in the slag discharge hole 301. The abutting portion 520 can push the second deformation portion 322 to abut against the first deformation portion 420, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the size of the slag discharge gap.

[0045] Specifically, the deformation member 320 is made of a soft rubber material such as silica gel or rubber. Along the length direction of the slag discharge hole 301, the cross-section of the second connecting portion 321 is a right-angled structure. When the main body portion 510 is switched from the second state to the first state, the abutting portion 520 gradually pushes the second connecting portion 321. The pushing force of the abutting portion 520 is transmitted to the second deformation portion 322 through the second connecting portion 321, so that the second deformation portion 322 moves in the direction close to the first deformation portion 420, thereby reducing the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420 and facilitating the adjustment of the size of the slag discharge gap.

[0046] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present invention, an abutting inclined surface 323 is provided on one side of the second deformation portion 322 facing the blocking member 400. The abutting inclined surface 323 can abut against the first deformation portion 420, which can increase the contact area between the second deformation portion 322 and the first deformation portion 420 to stably control the deformation range of the first deformation portion 420.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , in some embodiments of the present invention, an installation structure is provided between the end cover 310 and the juice extraction cylinder 210. Through the installation structure, the end cover 310 and the juice extraction cylinder 210 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the slag discharge assembly 300 and improve the user experience.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the installation structure includes an installation portion 212 provided on the juice extraction cylinder 210 and an installation groove 311 provided on the end cover 310. The installation groove 311 includes a second avoidance groove 312 and a limiting groove 313 communicating with the second avoidance groove 312. The installation portion 212 enters the limiting groove 313 through the second avoidance groove 312, and the installation portion 212 can abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 313, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the end cover 310, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the residue discharging assembly 300 and improve the user experience.

[0049] Specifically, the second avoidance groove 312 extends along the axial direction of the juice extraction cylinder 210, and the limiting groove 313 extends along the circumferential direction of the juice extraction cylinder 210. When installing the residue discharging assembly 300, align the installation portion 212 with the second avoidance groove 312. Then, insert the installation portion 212 into the communication part of the second avoidance groove 312 and the limiting groove 313, and rotate the end cover 310 so that the installation portion 212 enters the limiting groove 313. The installation portion 212 can abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 313 to limit the separation of the end cover 310 from the juice extraction cylinder 210, and thus the installation of the residue discharging assembly 300 can be completed. When disassembling the residue discharging assembly 300, rotate the residue discharging assembly 300 in the reverse direction and take out the end cover 310. The operation is simple, convenient and fast, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the end cover 310, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the residue discharging assembly 300 and improve the user experience.

[0050] It should be noted that the positions of the installation portion 212 and the installation groove 311 can also be interchanged, that is, the installation portion 212 is provided on the end cover 310, and the installation groove 311 is provided at one end of the juice extraction cylinder 210 far from the power output end 110, which is not limited herein.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first connecting portion 410 and the first deformation portion 420 are of an integral structure, which can reduce the number of molds to reduce the production and manufacturing cost of the molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the horizontal screw juice extractor with adjustable residue discharging gap.

[0052] Specifically, the first connecting portion 410 and the first deformation portion 420 can be integrally formed by injection molding, which can reduce the number of molds to reduce the production and manufacturing cost of the molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the horizontal screw juice extractor with adjustable residue discharging gap.

[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.
