Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a juicer. Background Technology

[0002] A juicer is an instrument or tool used to extract juice from citrus fruits (such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, etc.). Some existing juicers use a rotating drum to squeeze the juice, as disclosed in patents such as EP3698650A1 and WO2019025215A1. Specifically, these juicers generally have two first drums that can rotate simultaneously in opposite directions. Each first drum has a receiving groove; during rotation, the two grooves form a receiving cavity within a certain path, limiting the fruit within the cavity to facilitate cutting by the blades. The juicer also has two second drums corresponding to the first drums, which can rotate simultaneously in the same direction. The first drums have protrusions that fit the receiving grooves to squeeze the cut fruit and complete the juicing process during rotation. However, this type of juicer requires multiple drums and multiple shafts connected to them, resulting in a complex structure and large size. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a juicer that aims to solve the problems of complex structure and large size of juicers.

[0004] This utility model provides a juicer, comprising:

[0016] In one embodiment, the hammer head includes a plurality of spaced-apart inserts, and an avoidance groove is formed between two adjacent inserts. The guide vane can extend into the avoidance groove so that the inserts extend into the insert sub-holes.

[0017] And / or, the guide further includes a reinforcing plate and a plurality of ribs, the reinforcing plate being disposed between the two limiting plates and connecting the top plate and the bottom plate; the plurality of ribs being spaced apart on both sides of the reinforcing plate along the direction from the top plate to the bottom plate and connecting to the adjacent limiting plates.

[0018] In one embodiment, the base includes a base plate and a first guide shaft disposed on the base plate. The hammer head is disposed on the base plate. The first guide shaft extends along the first direction. The guide member is slidably disposed on the first guide shaft. The first guide shaft has a first end away from the base plate. The juicer further includes at least one locking assembly disposed on the top plate and / or bottom plate. The locking assembly includes a first reset member and a locking structure. The locking structure in the locked state can lock the guide member at the first end so that the guide assembly is fixed relative to the base during fruit cutting. The first reset member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first guide shaft. One end of the first reset member abuts against the base, and the other end abuts against the locking structure.

[0019] In one embodiment, the locking structure includes a latch, a fixing member, and a second resetting member. The fixing member is slidably disposed on the first guide shaft and fixed to the guide member. The latch is connected to the fixing member through the second resetting member. A limiting groove is provided at the first end. When the latch extends into the limiting groove, the guide member is locked at the first end. The pressing member has a protrusion. The end of the protrusion facing the hammer head has a chamfer. The latch has a through hole for the chamfer to pass through.

One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the gear, and the other end is rotatably connected to the extruder.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model allows the extruder and guide assembly to slide along a first direction. As the extruder pushes the fruit along this direction, the cutter on the guide assembly cuts the fruit. Under the combined pressure of the hammer and the extruder, the cut fruit is juiced. Compared to drum-type juicers, this juicer eliminates the need for multiple drums and connecting shafts, greatly simplifying its structure and reducing its size, thus contributing to miniaturization. Furthermore, the extruder and guide assembly only need to move along the first direction towards the hammer to cut and juice the fruit, simplifying the movement trajectory and process of the extruder and fruit.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7This utility model proposes a juicer 10, including a base 100, a pressing component 200, a guide assembly 300, and a hammer head 400. The pressing component 200 is disposed on the base 100 and can slide along a first direction. The guide assembly 300 includes a guide member 310 disposed on the base 100 and a cutter 320 disposed on the guide member 310. The guide member 310 can slide along the first direction. A placement cavity for placing fruit is formed between the guide member 310 and the pressing component 200. The guide member 310 is provided with two through holes 311, and the cutter 320 is disposed between the two through holes 311. The blade faces the extruder 200; two hammers 400 are provided corresponding to the insertion holes 311, and are arranged one-to-one with the two insertion holes 311. The hammers 400 are fixed relative to the base 100 and are located on the side of the guide 310 away from the extruder 200. When the guide 310 slides in the first direction, the hammers 400 can at least partially move through the insertion holes 311; the extruder 200 can push the fruit toward the cutter 320 to make the fruit cut, and push the cut fruit to rotate on the guide 310 so that the cut surface of the fruit faces the insertion holes 311.

[0042] Specifically, a juicer 10 is used to juice fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, apples, and pears. Of course, the juicer 10 can also be used to juice vegetables. An extruder 200, a guide assembly 300, and a hammer 400 are mounted on a base 100. The hammer 400 is fixed relative to the base 100. The hammer 400 can be fixedly mounted to the base 100, detachably mounted to the base 100, or mounted to the base 100 via other parts. The extruder 200 is a component used to extrude fruits or vegetables; it is typically a movable component that can provide sufficient extrusion pressure. The guide assembly 300 is located between the hammer 400 and the extruder 200. The extruder 200 can slide along a first direction and can push the guide assembly 300 to slide along the first direction toward the hammer 400. The extruder 200 can slide along the first direction under the drive of a drive mechanism 600, or it can be manually pushed to slide along the first direction.

[0043] The placement cavity is used to place fruit so that the cutter 320 can cut the fruit. The placement cavity can be formed in several ways: the guide member 310 has a first placement groove on the side facing the extruder 200, and the extruder 200 cooperates with the first placement groove to form the placement cavity; or the extruder 200 has a second placement groove on the side facing the guide member 310, and the guide member 310 cooperates with the second placement groove to form the placement cavity; or the guide member 310 has a first placement groove on the side facing the extruder 200, and the extruder 200 has a second placement groove on the side facing the guide member 310, with the first placement groove and the second placement groove together forming the placement cavity. To facilitate the placement of fruit, there is a gap between the first placement groove and the second placement groove, or at least one of the first placement groove and the second placement groove is a notch.

[0044] The insertion hole 311 is for the hammer head 400 to pass through, so that the hammer head 400 can squeeze the fruit to extract juice. The fruit is cut into two parts by the cutter 320. One part rotates clockwise along the guide 310 to between one of the insertion holes 311 and the squeezer 200, and the other part rotates counterclockwise along the guide 310 to between the other insertion hole 311 and the squeezer 200.

[0045] The blade of the cutter 320 faces the extruder 200, and the cutter 320 is used to cut the fruit. When cutting the fruit, the fruit is placed in the placement cavity between the guide 310 and the extruder 200. The guide assembly 300 is fixed relative to the base 100, and the extruder 200 slides along a first direction toward the guide assembly 300, allowing the cutter 320 to cut the fruit into two parts. The cut fruit rotates along the guide 310 under the push of the extruder 200, causing the two cut surfaces of the fruit to rotate from facing each other to facing the hammer head 400. Two corresponding insertion holes 311 are provided between the extruder 200 and the guide 310. Then, under the push of the extruder 200, the guide assembly 300 slides along the first direction toward the hammer head 400. The hammer head 400 is at least partially movable through the insertion holes 311, and under the pressure of the extruder 200 and the hammer head 400, the cut fruit can be juiced.

[0046] The technical solution of this utility model allows the extruder 200 and guide assembly 300 to slide along a first direction. As the extruder 200 pushes the fruit along this direction, the cutter on the guide assembly 310 cuts the fruit. Under the combined pressure of the hammer 400 and the extruder 200, the cut fruit is juiced. Compared to drum-type juicers, the juicer 10 proposed in this utility model eliminates the need for multiple drums and connecting shafts, greatly simplifying the structure of the juicer 10 and reducing its size, thus contributing to its miniaturization. Furthermore, the extruder 200 and guide assembly 300 of the juicer 10 only need to move along the first direction towards the hammer 400 to cut and juice the fruit, simplifying the movement trajectory and process of the extruder 200 and the fruit.

[0047] On the other hand, traditional household juicers generally require manual cutting of fruit, pressing the cut surfaces onto the blades, and twisting the fruit before juicing. This is not only labor-intensive but also time-consuming. The juicer 10 proposed in this invention uses a cutter 320 to cut the fruit, and then uses the extruder 200 and hammer 400 to extract the juice. Whole fruit can be placed directly into the placement chamber, eliminating the need for manual cutting, pressing, or twisting. This reduces manual peeling, pressing, and twisting, making juicing more convenient and significantly improving the automation level of the juicer 10. Furthermore, the juicer 10 juices faster, reducing juicing time.

[0048] In one embodiment, the guide member 310 includes a top plate 312, a bottom plate 313, and two limiting plates 314 connecting the top plate 312 and the bottom plate 313, with a cutter 320 disposed between the two limiting plates 314. The guide member 310 also includes a guide wing 315, which is disposed in one of the through holes 311, so that the through hole 311 forms a plurality of spaced through sub-holes 3111. The guide wing 315 has a first guide side near the extruder 200, which includes a first guide surface segment 3151 and a first positioning surface segment 3152. The first guide surface segment 3151 extends obliquely in a direction away from the cutter 320 in a direction away from the extruder 200. The first positioning surface segment 3152 is disposed at the end of the first guide surface segment 3151 away from the cutter 320, and the first positioning surface segment 3152 is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4Two through holes 311 are provided one-to-one with two limiting plates 314, and the cutter 320 is located between the two limiting plates 314. After being cut, part of the fruit rotates clockwise along one of the limiting plates 314, and the other part rotates counterclockwise along the other limiting plate 314, so that the cut surfaces of both parts of the fruit face the through holes 311, so that the hammer head 400 can pass through the through holes 311 and squeeze the cut surfaces of the fruit, thereby juicing the fruit.

[0050] Each insertion hole 311 is equipped with a guide vane 315, which serves to guide the cut fruit and also to limit its movement. One guide vane 315 can be located in the center of the insertion hole 311, or multiple guide vanes 315 can be spaced apart within the insertion hole 311. The first guide surface segment 3151 primarily guides the cut fruit. Under the push of the extruder 200, the cut surface of the fruit rotates along the extension direction of the first guide surface segment 3151, moving from towards the cutter 320 to towards the first positioning surface segment 3152. Because the guide vanes 315 are located within the insertion hole 311, the larger insertion hole 311 is divided into multiple smaller insertion sub-holes 3111. Even if the insertion hole 311 is larger than the fruit, the fruit will not detach from the insertion hole 311 due to the obstruction of the guide vanes 315. The hammer 400 can pass through the insertion hole 3111 to cooperate with the extruder 200 to juice the fruit.

[0051] In one embodiment, the top plate 312, the bottom plate 313, and the limiting plate 314 are integrally formed.

[0052] The top plate 312, bottom plate 313, and limiting plate 314 are specifically injection molded as a single unit, resulting in high structural strength, good structural stability, light weight, and easy processing of the guide component 310. In another embodiment, the top plate 312, bottom plate 313, and limiting plate 314 can also be integrally molded from metal, further enhancing the strength of the guide component 310. In other embodiments, the top plate 312, bottom plate 313, and limiting plate 314 can also be connected by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw locking for easy disassembly.

[0053] Optionally, the top plate 312 has a second guide side near the extruder 200. The second guide side includes a second guide surface segment 3121 and a second positioning surface segment 3122. The second guide surface segment 3121 extends obliquely in a direction away from the cutter 320 and in a direction away from the extruder 200. The second positioning surface segment 3122 is located at one end of the second guide surface segment 3121 away from the cutter 320 and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3The second guide surface section 3121 is close to the cutter 320 and serves to guide the fruit in conjunction with the guide vane 315. The second positioning surface section 3122 is away from the cutter 320 and smoothly transitions with the second guide surface section 3121. When the cut surface of the fruit is large and extends beyond the top plate 312, the top plate 312 can also guide the fruit, making it easier for the cut surface of the fruit to rotate from facing the cutter 320 to facing the hammer head 400. The extension direction of the second guide side is basically consistent with the extension direction of the first guide side, avoiding obstruction of the extruder 200 by the second guide side, which would prevent the cut fruit from adhering tightly to the limiting plate 314, thus causing incomplete juicing and reducing the juice yield.

[0055] Optionally, the base plate 313 has a third guide side near the extruder 200. The third guide side includes a third guide surface segment 3131 and a third positioning surface segment 3132. The third guide surface segment 3131 extends obliquely in a direction away from the cutter 320 and in a direction away from the extruder 200. The third positioning surface segment 3132 is located at the end of the third guide surface segment 3131 away from the cutter 320 and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 The third guide surface section 3131 is close to the cutter 320 and serves to guide the fruit in conjunction with the guide vane 315. The third positioning surface section 3132 is away from the cutter 320 and smoothly transitions with the third guide surface section 3131. When the cut surface of the fruit is large and extends beyond the base plate 313, the base plate 313 can also guide the fruit, making it easier for the cut surface of the fruit to rotate from facing the cutter 320 to facing the hammer head 400. The extension direction of the third guide side is basically consistent with the extension direction of the first guide side, avoiding obstruction of the extruder 200 by the third guide side, which would prevent the cut fruit from adhering tightly to the limiting plate 314, resulting in incomplete juicing and reduced juice yield. The base plate 313 also provides support and obstruction for the fruit, preventing it from falling.

[0057] Optionally, the plate surface of the limiting plate 314 includes a first plate surface segment 3141 and a second plate surface segment 3142 connected to each other. The first plate surface segment 3141 extends obliquely in a direction away from the cutter 320 and in a direction away from the extruder 200. The second plate surface segment 3142 is disposed at one end of the first plate surface segment 3141 away from the cutter 320, and the second plate surface segment 3142 is arranged perpendicular to the first direction.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3The insertion hole 311 is partially formed in the first plate segment 3141 and partially formed in the second plate segment 3142. The first plate segment 3141 is close to the cutter 320 and is used to install the first guide segment 3151. The first plate segment 3141 and the first guide segment 3151 extend in essentially the same direction, and the first guide segment 3151 can be firmly connected to the first plate segment 3141. Under the pressure of the extruder 200 and the fruit, the first guide segment 3151 is not easily deformed or broken. The second plate segment 3142 is away from the cutter 320 and smoothly transitions with the first plate segment 3141. The second plate segment 3142 is used to install the first positioning segment 3152. The second plate segment 3142 and the first positioning segment 3152 together limit the position of the cut fruit, ensuring that the fruit is located in the placement cavity before juicing.

[0059] Optionally, a mounting groove 318 is formed between the two limiting plates 314, and the back of the cutter 320 is embedded in the mounting groove 318.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 The depth of the mounting groove 318 is less than the width of the cutter 320, and the width of the cutter 320 is the distance from the cutting edge to the back of the cutter 320. The back of the cutter 320 is embedded in the mounting groove 318, which reduces the number of parts that need to be fixed to the guide member 310. At the same time, since the two limiting plates 314 abut against the two cutting surfaces of the cutter 320, they limit the cutter 320 and reduce the risk of the cutter 320 shaking. The cutter 320 can be more securely mounted on the guide member 310.

[0061] In one embodiment, the hammer head 400 includes a plurality of spaced-apart inserts 410, with a clearance groove 420 formed between adjacent inserts 410, and the guide vane 315 can extend into the clearance groove 420 so that the inserts 410 extend into the insert sub-hole 3111.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 The insert post 410 can pass through the insert sub-hole 3111 to cooperate with the extruder 200 for juicing fruit. The clearance groove 420 is used to guide the vane 315 through, avoiding interference with the vane 315 and preventing it from affecting the insertion post 410's passage through the insert sub-hole 3111. Since the multiple insert sub-holes 3111 formed by the same insert hole 311 have different shapes, the shapes of the individual insert posts 410 of the same hammerhead 400 are also different. The shape of the insert post 410 is adapted to the shape of the insert sub-hole 3111, or the outline size of the insert post 410 is smaller than the edge size of the insert sub-hole 3111, to ensure that the insert post 410 can pass through the insert hole 3111.

[0063] Optionally, the guide member 310 further includes a reinforcing plate 316 and a plurality of ribs 317. The reinforcing plate 316 is disposed between two limiting plates 314 and connects the top plate 312 and the bottom plate 313. The plurality of ribs 317 are spaced apart on both sides of the reinforcing plate 316 along the direction from the top plate 312 to the bottom plate 313 and connect to the adjacent limiting plates 314.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 The first guide surface segments 3151 of the two limiting plates 314 extend obliquely away from the cutter 320 and away from the extruder 200, thus the distance between the two first guide surface segments 3151 gradually increases in the first direction. A reinforcing plate 316 is disposed between the two first guide surface segments 3151 and connects the top plate 312 and the bottom plate 313 to increase the structural strength of the guide member 310. A rib 317 connects the reinforcing plate 316 and the first guide surface segments 3151 of the limiting plates 314, further increasing the structural strength of the guide member 310. One side of the rib 317 connecting to the first guide surface segment 3151 extends obliquely away from the cutter 320 and away from the extruder 200 to fit the first guide surface segment 3151, increasing the connection area between the rib 317 and the first guide surface segment 3151. The reinforcing plate 316 has at least one rib 317 on both sides. The ribs 317 on both sides of the reinforcing plate 316 can be arranged one-to-one or staggered.

[0065] In one embodiment, the base 100 includes a base plate 110, a first guide shaft 120 disposed on the base plate 110, a hammer head 400 disposed on the base plate 110, the first guide shaft 120 extending along a first direction, a guide member 310 slidably disposed on the first guide shaft 120, the first guide shaft 120 having a first end 121 away from the base plate 110, and the juicer 10 further includes at least one locking assembly 500 disposed on the top plate 312 and / or the bottom plate 313, the locking assembly 500 including a first reset member 510 and a locking structure 520, the locking structure 520 in the locked state can lock the guide member 310 at the first end 121 so that the guide assembly 300 is fixed relative to the base 100 during the fruit cutting process; the first reset member 510 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first guide shaft 120, one end of the first reset member 510 abuts against the base 100, and the other end abuts against the locking structure 520.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7The first guide shaft 120 has a first end 121 away from the substrate 110 and a second end connected to the substrate 110. The guide member 310 can slide along the first guide shaft 120 between the first end 121 and the second end. A locking structure 520 is provided on the guide member 310. When the locking structure 520 is in the locked state, it can lock the guide member 310 at the first end 121, preventing the cutter 320 from moving towards the hammer head 400 during fruit cutting. This ensures that the cutter 320 has sufficient reaction force to cut the fruit under the force of the squeezing member 200. When the locking structure 520 is in the unlocked state, it can slide along the first guide shaft 120 towards the second end along with the guide member 310, at which time the first reset member 510 is compressed. After the extruder 200 and hammer 400 finish juicing at the second end, the extruder 200 releases its force on the guide assembly 300 and the first reset member 510. The first reset member 510 restores its elastic deformation and pushes the locking structure 520 and the guide assembly 300 to the first end 121. The locking structure 520 then locks the guide member 310 at the first end 121. One first guide shaft 120 corresponds to one locking assembly 500. The locking assembly 500 can be located on the top plate 312, the bottom plate 313, or both the top plate 312 and the bottom plate 313 can be equipped with locking assemblies 500, resulting in more even force distribution on the guide assembly 300 during fruit cutting.

[0067] In one embodiment, the locking structure 520 includes a locking tongue 521, a fixing member 522, and a second resetting member 523. The fixing member 522 is slidably disposed on the first guide shaft 120 and fixedly disposed on the guide member 310. The locking tongue 521 is connected to the fixing member 522 through the second resetting member 523. The first end 121 is provided with a limiting groove 122. When the locking tongue 521 extends into the limiting groove 122, the guide member 310 is locked at the first end 121. The pressing member 200 is provided with a protrusion 210. The end of the protrusion 210 facing the hammer head 400 is provided with a chamfer 211. The locking tongue 521 is provided with a through hole 5211 through which the chamfer 211 passes. When the chamfer 211 passes through the through hole 5211, the locking tongue 521 disengages from the limiting groove 122.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The guide member 310 also includes a connector 319, which is disposed on the upper surface of the top plate 312 or on the lower surface of the bottom plate 313. The connector 319 includes a first side plate 3191 and a second side plate 3192 disposed on opposite sides of the first guide shaft 120, and a third side plate 3193 connecting the first side plate 3191 and the second side plate 3192, wherein the first guide shaft 120 passes through the third side plate 3193, and the third side plate 3193 is slidable along the first guide shaft 120.

[0069] The fixing member 522 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 3191 and the second side plate 3192, or the fixing member 522 is detachably connected to the first side plate 3191 and the second side plate 3192 by fasteners such as screws, so that when the guide member 310 slides toward the second end, the locking structure 520 can move toward the second end together, and when the locking structure 520 moves toward the first end 121 under the action of the first reset member 510, the guide member 310 can move toward the second end together. The third side plate 3193 is provided on the side of the locking tongue 521 facing the pressing member 200. The locking tongue 521 is connected to the fixing member 522 through the second reset member 523. When the second reset member 523 is in the natural state, the locking tongue 521 extends into the limiting groove 122, and the third side plate 3193 is blocked on the side of the locking tongue 521 facing the pressing member 200, so that the guide member 310 is locked at the first end 121. When the second reset member 523 is in a compressed state, the locking tongue 521 disengages from the limiting groove 122 and can move along the first guide shaft 120. The locking tongue 521 releases its obstruction to the third side plate 3193, so that the guide member 310 can also move along the first guide shaft 120.

[0070] During the fruit cutting process, the extruder 200 gradually moves towards the second end, at which point the locking tongue 521 extends into the limiting groove 122, and the guide 310 is locked at the first end 121. After the fruit cutting is completed, the extruder 200 continues to move towards the second end until the protrusion 210 on the extruder 200 moves to the first end 121 and passes through the through hole 5211 on the locking tongue 521. As the extruder 200 moves, the locking tongue 521 is lifted by the protrusion 210 through the chamfer 211, causing the locking tongue 521 to disengage from the limiting groove 122, thereby releasing the locking state of the guide assembly 300.

[0071] Optionally, there are two locking components 500, one of which is connected to the top plate 312 and the other is connected to the bottom plate 313.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2Both the upper surface of the top plate 312 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 313 are provided with connecting members 319. The base plate 110 is provided with two first guide shafts 120. One first guide shaft 120 is located above the top plate 312 and passes through the third side plate 3193 of the top plate 312; the other first guide shaft 120 is located below the bottom plate 313 and passes through the other third side plate 3193 of the bottom plate 313. One locking assembly 500 is connected to the top plate 312 through the first side plate 3191 and the second side plate 3192 of the top plate 312, and the other locking assembly 500 is connected to the bottom plate 313 through the first side plate 3191 and the second side plate 3192 of the bottom plate 313. When the locking structure 520 is in the locked state, the guide member 310 is locked in both the upper and lower directions, and the guide assembly 300 is subjected to more even force and is more stable when cutting fruit.

[0073] In one embodiment, the base 100 further includes a second guide shaft 130 and a fixing plate 140. The second guide shaft 130 extends along a first direction, and its two ends are respectively connected to the base plate 110 and the fixing plate 140. The extruder 200 is slidably disposed on the second guide shaft 130.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 A fixing plate 140 is disposed on one side opposite to the base plate 110. A second guide shaft 130 is disposed between the base plate 110 and the fixing member 522, with four second guide shafts 130 arranged in pairs to form a rectangle. An extruder 200, a guide assembly 300, and a hammer 400 are sequentially disposed between the fixing plate 140 and the base plate 110, with the hammer 400 fixed relative to the base plate 110. The guide assembly 300 connects to the first guide shaft 120 and can slide along a first direction. The four second guide shafts 130 pass through the four corners of the extruder 200, defining the plane of the extruder 200 as perpendicular to the first direction, thus preventing the extruder 200 from wobbling. Simultaneously, the second guide shafts 130 also guide the extruder 200. The extruder 200 can slide along the first direction on the second guide shafts 130, allowing it to move back and forth between the fixing plate 140 and the base plate 110 for placing and pressing fruit.

[0075] In one embodiment, the extruder 200 includes a push plate 220, the push plate 220 having a receiving groove 221 corresponding to the insertion hole 311, and the base 100 also includes a support rod 160 and two push rods 150 disposed on the fixing plate 140. The two push rods 150 are movably disposed in the two receiving grooves 221 in a one-to-one correspondence. The support rod 160 is disposed below the middle of the two push rods 150. The support rod 160 and the two push rods 150 together define a support cavity. The placement cavity is at least partially formed in the receiving groove 221 and the support cavity.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7The chopped fruit is at least partially contained within the receiving groove 221, which is spherical to fit the outer surface of the fruit. A support rod 160 and two push rods 150 are mounted on a fixed plate 140 and pass through the push plate 220. The line connecting the support rod 160 and the two push rods 150 forms a triangle, thus defining the receiving cavity. Before juicing, the fruit is placed in the receiving cavity, where it is supported by the support rod 160 and the two push rods 150, preventing it from rolling or falling. The two push rods 150 are correspondingly and movably inserted into the two receiving grooves 221, and also serve to push the fruit peel out of the receiving grooves 221 after juicing, eliminating the need for manual peeling and making the process convenient and quick. In other embodiments, the support rod 160 and the two push rods 150 can also be replaced by an arc-shaped support plate, which connects to the fixed plate 140, passes through the push plate 220, and at least partially passes through the receiving groove 221.

[0077] In one embodiment, the juicer 10 further includes a drive mechanism 600, which is disposed on the base 100 and drives the connected extruder 200 so that the extruder 200 can slide along a first direction.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 The drive mechanism 600 is located on the base 100 and connected to the extruder 200. The drive mechanism 600 can be located on the side of the base plate 110 away from the fixing plate 140, on the side of the fixing plate 140 away from the base plate 110, or between the base plate 110 and the fixing plate 140. The main function of the drive mechanism 600 is to provide sufficient force and kinetic energy to drive the extruder 200 to slide along the first direction. Driven by the drive mechanism 600, the extruder 200 does not need to be manually driven, making juicing easier and increasing the juice yield, thus achieving efficient juicing. The drive mechanism 600 can be a connecting rod 630 structure, a lead screw structure, or other drive devices capable of driving the extruder 200 to slide along the first direction; no limitations are imposed here.

[0079] In one embodiment, the base 100 further includes a mounting platform 170, which is located on the side of the fixing plate 140 away from the base plate 110. The drive mechanism 600 includes a motor 610, a gear 620, and a connecting rod 630. The motor 610 is mounted on the mounting platform 170 and drives the gear 620. One end of the connecting rod 630 is rotatably connected to the gear 620, and the other end is rotatably connected to the extruder 200.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2The base 100 also includes a mounting platform 170, which provides stable support for the drive mechanism 600. The mounting platform 170 is located on the side of the fixing plate 140 away from the base plate 110. It can be mounted on the fixing plate 140 with screws, or the mounting platform 170 can be integrally formed with the fixing plate 140. The motor 610 is mounted on the mounting platform 170 and fixed to it with screws or other parts. The motor 610 can be fixed to either the upper or lower surface of the mounting platform 170. The motor 610 serves as a drive source, providing power to drive the extruder 200 to slide along a first direction.

[0081] Gear 620 is connected to motor 610, and the rotational power of gear 620 is provided by motor 610, which transmits the power to achieve rotation. Connecting rod 630 is rotatably connected to gear 620 at one end and to extruder 200 at the other end via bearings or shafts. Driven by motor 610, connecting rod 630 rotates in accordance with the rotation of gear 620. Extruder 200 converts the rotation of connecting rod 630 into linear motion, thereby sliding back and forth between substrate 110 and fixed plate 140, applying pressure while sliding in the first direction, thus achieving efficient juicing.
