[0037] The following reference Figure 1-7 This application describes a juicer and a food processor according to some embodiments.

[0038] This application provides a juicer 1, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1-6 As shown, the device includes a housing 10, a juicing assembly 2, and an adjusting assembly 3. The housing 10 has a first opening 11 and a second opening 12. The juicing assembly 2 is disposed within the housing 10 below the first opening 11. The juicing assembly 2 has a first end 20 and a second end 23. The first end 20 is connected to a driving device (not shown), and the second end 23 is located at the second opening 12 of the housing 10, forming an overflow channel 30 therewith. Fruit to be juiced is fed into the juicing assembly 2 through the first opening 11. After pressing, the juice and pulp flow out from the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2 and then enter the overflow channel 30, where they are collected for drinking. Since no filtration or separation is performed, the resulting product is a mixed juice containing fruit pulp, a healthy beverage rich in fruit fiber.

[0039] An adjustment assembly 3 is provided on the second opening 12 of the housing 10. The adjustment assembly 3 has an adjusting member located within the overflow channel 30. The adjusting member changes the actual size of the overflow channel 30, ensuring that only pulp no larger than the actual size of the overflow channel 30 can flow out with the juice. Pulp exceeding the actual size of the overflow channel 30 cannot flow out, thus controlling the size of the pulp in the juice extracted by the juicer 1. Furthermore, adjusting the adjustment assembly 3 allows the adjusting member to move relative to the overflow channel 30, thereby adjusting the size of the overflow channel 30 and producing juices with different pulp sizes. In addition, the adjusting component in the overflow channel 30 actually increases the outlet resistance encountered by the juice when it is discharged from the second end 23. This outlet resistance will correspondingly increase the residence time of the fruit in the juicing assembly 2, thereby increasing the pressing effect on the fruit. When the overflow channel 30 is larger, the outlet resistance is smaller, which is suitable for pressing soft fruits such as watermelon and grapes; when the overflow channel 30 is smaller, the outlet resistance is larger, which is suitable for pressing hard fruits such as guava and apples. Therefore, the adjustment of the size of the overflow channel 30, together with the juicing assembly 2, realizes the corresponding adjustment of the pressing effect on different fruits, thereby obtaining a better juice extraction effect.

[0040] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the adjusting component 3 includes a limiting seat 31 and an adjusting ring 32. The adjusting ring 32 is sleeved on the second opening 12 of the housing 10. An adjusting structure is provided between the adjusting ring 32 and the second opening 3 of the housing 10. The adjusting component is the limiting seat 31. The limiting seat 31 is movably disposed in the housing 10 between the adjusting ring 32 and the second end 23 of the juicing component 2. One side of the limiting seat 31 is close to the second end 23 of the juicing component 2, and the other side is provided with a limiting structure between it and the adjusting ring 32. The limiting seat 31 is a cylindrical structure with a through hole inside to collect and discharge the juice and pulp flowing out from the overflow channel 30 for easy collection and drinking.

[0041] For details, see attached. Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment structure includes a threaded groove 323 on the inner wall of the adjustment ring 32 and a protruding tooth 111 on the outer wall of the second opening 12. Rotating the adjustment ring 32 causes the protruding tooth 111 to move within the threaded groove 323. Under the combined action of the protruding tooth 111 and the threaded groove 323, the adjustment ring 32 moves on the second opening 12, moving closer to or away from the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2. Additionally, a notch 322 that matches the protruding tooth 111 is provided on the threaded groove 323. Rotating the adjustment ring 32 aligns the protruding tooth 111 with the notch 322, then pulling out the adjustment ring 32 allows it to be removed from the second opening 12. Conversely, aligning the protruding tooth 111 with the notch 322 pushes the adjustment ring 32 in, allowing it to be installed on the second opening 12. The detachable nature of the adjustment ring 32 facilitates cleaning of the inside of the juicer.

[0042] The limiting structure includes a flange 321 disposed in the inner hole of the adjusting ring 32 and a convex ring 311 disposed on the surface of the limiting seat 31. The flange 321 is opposite to and extends toward the convex ring 311. Since the limiting seat 31 is movably disposed within the housing 10, when the pressed juice and pulp are discharged from the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2, the juice and pulp will push the limiting seat 31 and cause the limiting seat 31 to move away from the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2. During the movement, the flange 321 of the adjusting ring 32 abuts against the convex ring 311 of the limiting seat 31, restricting the continued movement of the limiting seat 31. At this time, an overflow channel 30 of a corresponding size is formed and maintained between the limiting seat 31 and the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2. Therefore, by utilizing the pushing force of the discharged pulp and juice on the limiting seat 31, and by the abutment of the flange 321 of the adjusting ring 32 against the protruding ring 311 of the limiting seat 31, the movement of the limiting seat 31 relative to the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2 can be limited, thereby maintaining the overflow channel 30 of a corresponding size. Furthermore, by rotating the adjusting ring 32 to move it over the second opening 12, the distance between the flange of the adjusting ring 32 and the second end 23 of the juicing assembly 2 can be changed, thus adjusting the size of the overflow channel 30 after the limiting seat 31 abuts against the flange of the adjusting ring 32.

[0043] In addition, a sealing ring 33 is provided between the convex ring 311 and the flange 321. The sealing ring 33 is fitted onto the limiting seat 31 on the side of the convex ring 311 facing the flange 321 to prevent juice and pulp from leaking in a direction other than the second opening 12 when passing through the overflow channel 30, thus affecting the juice extraction effect. At the same time, the sealing ring 33 provides a certain buffering effect when the flange 321 of the adjusting ring 32 abuts against the convex ring 311 of the limiting seat 31, avoiding wear and damage caused by long-term hard contact.

[0044] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the juicing assembly 2 is horizontal and includes a screw 21 and a juicing cylinder 22. The screw 21 is disposed inside the juicing cylinder 22. One end of the screw 21 is connected to an external drive device and can rotate inside the juicing cylinder 22 under the drive of the drive device. The top of the juicing cylinder 22 is directly opposite the first opening 11. The fruit to be juiced is put into the screw 21 through the first opening 11. Under the continuous rotation of the screw 21, the falling fruit is continuously squeezed and conveyed forward. As the gap between the screw 21 and the juicing cylinder 22 narrows, the juice is squeezed out of the fruit, and the fruit is also crushed into pulp until it is discharged from the second end 23.

[0045] For details, see attached. Figure 5As shown, a liquid outlet 24 is provided at the bottom of the juicing cylinder 22, and a filter screen 241 is provided on the liquid outlet 24. A third opening 13 is provided on the shell 10 below the liquid outlet 24, and a closable sealing cap 131 is provided on the third opening 13. When pure juice without pulp particles is needed, the sealing cap 131 on the third opening 13 can be opened. In this way, the juice produced by the screw 21 will flow to the liquid outlet 24 under the action of gravity and be discharged from the liquid outlet 24 through the third opening 13. The pulp particles produced by the extrusion continue to move towards the second end 23 under the push of the screw 21, and will not flow to the liquid outlet 24. At the same time, the filter screen 241 provided on the liquid outlet 24 can filter out small pieces of pulp mixed in the juice, thereby improving the purity and taste of the juice. Therefore, the juice extracted by the juicing component 2 is discharged from the outlet 24 through the third opening 13, while the pulp is still discharged from the second end 23 through the second opening 12, achieving separate collection of juice and pulp. When juice containing pulp particles is needed, the sealing cap 131 on the third opening 13 is closed, so that the juice cannot be discharged after flowing to the outlet 24 and continues to accumulate until it is discharged together with the pulp from the second end 23 through the overflow channel 30.

[0046] This application also provides a food processor, as shown in the attached document. Figure 7 As shown, the machine includes a food processor body 4 and a juicer 1, with the juicer 1 mounted on the food processor body 4. The specific structure of the juicer 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this food processor adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
