Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of juicing equipment, and more particularly to a juicer. Background Technology

[0002] Juicers, capable of processing fruits and vegetables into delicious beverages, have always been popular. With the improvement of living standards, juicers have moved from beverage shops into the kitchens of countless households, becoming an essential helper for enhancing people's quality of life.

[0003] Juicers typically have two moving parts: one for pre-cutting and the other for juicing. Existing juicers suffer from poor cutting efficiency due to the flawed design of these two moving parts, and improving their efficiency has been a long-standing challenge for researchers in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a juicer to solve the technical problem of juice extraction efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a juicer is provided, comprising: a main unit, a material chamber, and a pressing chamber. The material chamber is connected to the pressing chamber. A cutting blade is provided in the material chamber, and a screw is provided in the pressing chamber. A power unit is provided on the main unit, which provides power to the cutting blade and the screw. The power unit is connected to the cutting blade and the screw respectively through a first output shaft and a second output shaft. Both the first output shaft and the second output shaft are arranged laterally. The first output shaft is located above the second output shaft, and the cutting blade is provided with at least a partial clearance at the position of the extension line of the first output shaft.

[0006] The juicer of this invention features a first output shaft and a second output shaft arranged horizontally. The cutting blade has a clearance along the extension of the first output shaft, meaning that part of the cutting blade is hollow. This allows materials larger than the radius of the material bin to be cut quickly. Since the material falls in a direction other than the axial direction of the first output shaft, it is not blocked by the first output shaft, thus improving the cutting efficiency and the overall pressing efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the angle between the first output shaft and the second output shaft is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. That is, the first output shaft and the second output shaft can be parallel or have an angle other than 90 degrees, which allows the cutting tool to cut the falling material in various postures, thereby improving cutting efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the axial length of the clearance is greater than or equal to 10mm. When the clearance in the middle of the cutting tool is less than 10mm, that is, half of the first output shaft protrudes from the middle of the cutting tool, it is not conducive to the falling of large-sized materials, as they are easily blocked by this protruding first output shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the cutting tool includes at least one tool body. This tool body is primarily used for cutting operations. One or more tool bodies rotate cyclically to cut the falling material; the more tool bodies present, the faster the cutting efficiency.

[0010] More preferably, the maximum overall rotational diameter of the aforementioned blade is 10mm-500mm. Since the blade rotates within the material chamber, its maximum rotational diameter corresponds to the minimum inner diameter of the material chamber. When the maximum rotational diameter is less than 10mm, if the inner diameter of the material chamber is also small, the material will be difficult to load. If the inner diameter of the material chamber is much larger than 10mm, some of the material will not be cut by the cutting blade and will fall directly into the pressing chamber, rendering the cutting blade ineffective. When the maximum diameter of the blade exceeds 500mm, the material chamber becomes too large, making the entire juicer too large.

[0011] More preferably, the blade is curved. Because of this curved shape, the blade cuts the material from various angles when it falls in, which helps to thoroughly chop the material.

[0012] More preferably, the cutting tool comprises at least two tool bodies, which are arranged symmetrically along the extension line of the first output shaft. Symmetrically arranged tool bodies facilitate force balance during cutting, resulting in relatively uniform force on the first output shaft and reducing wear and power loss.

[0013] More preferably, the material of the cutting tool body is plastic, metal, or composite material. The material of the cutting tool body needs to be easy to clean and has a certain strength requirement; therefore, the above-mentioned materials can meet the requirements of a cutting tool body.

[0014] More preferably, the average cross-sectional area of ​​the blade is greater than or equal to 3 square millimeters. When the average cross-sectional area of ​​the blade is less than 3 square millimeters, the blade is too small and is prone to breakage when cutting materials.

[0015] Preferably, the first output shaft and the second output shaft are connected by a transmission mechanism, and the transmission ratio between the first output shaft and the second output shaft is 0.1 to 10. This transmission mechanism can make the first output shaft 10 times slower or 10 times faster than the second output shaft, but if this ratio is exceeded, the slower output shaft will rotate too slowly, resulting in low overall juicing efficiency.

[0016] More preferably, the aforementioned transmission mechanism is fixed inside the main unit. The transmission mechanism is fixed inside the main unit and together with it; the first output shaft and / or the second output shaft are connected and installed with the transmission mechanism on the main unit, facilitating the cleaning of the material silo and pressing chamber.

[0017] More preferably, the aforementioned transmission mechanism is fixed outside the material bin and / or pressing bin. This prevents the axial reaction forces of the first and second output shafts from acting on the main unit, which is beneficial for securing the material bin and pressing bin to the main unit.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the juicer 1000 according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Figure 2This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the cutting blade 1210 and screw 1310 of the juicer 1000 according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model.

[0043] This embodiment discloses a juicer 1000, including a main unit 1100, a material chamber 1200, and a pressing chamber 1300. A power unit 1110 is installed on the main unit 1100. A cutting blade 1210 is installed in the material chamber 1200, and a screw 1310 is installed in the pressing chamber 1300. The power unit 1110 provides power to the cutting blade 1210 and the screw 1310. The material chamber 1200 and the pressing chamber 1300 are vertically connected.

[0044] The power unit 1110 is connected to the transmission mechanism 1120, which transmits power to the cutting blade 1210 and the screw 1310. The cutting blade 1210 has a first output shaft 1111, and the screw 1310 has a second output shaft 1112. The transmission mechanism 1120 is connected to both the first and second output shafts 1111 and 1112. Both the first and second output shafts 1111 and 1112 are horizontally aligned and parallel. The first output shaft 1111 is located above the second output shaft 1112. An extension of the first output shaft 1111 towards the cutting blade 1210 forms a clearance 1211, meaning this section is shaftless. This prevents material from being blocked by the first output shaft 1111 when falling from the material bin 1200 into the pressing bin 1300. The clearance 1211 has a length of 148mm on the first output shaft 1111. The transmission mechanism 1120 makes the transmission ratio of the first output shaft 1111 and the second output shaft 1112 3.

[0045] The cutting tool 1210 includes a tool body 1212. The maximum diameter of rotation of the tool body 1212 is 150 mm. The tool body 1212 is designed with a curved shape to cut over a larger area while maintaining a smaller contact area with the material during cutting, thus ensuring cutting strength. The tool body 1212 is made of stainless steel. The average cross-sectional area of ​​the tool body 1212 is 3 square millimeters.

[0046] The transmission mechanism 1120 is fixed on the material bin 1200 and the pressing bin 1300. The second output shaft 1112 passes through the transmission mechanism 1120 and is connected to the power mechanism 1110. The second output shaft 1112 is a hexagonal shaft.

[0047] The juicer 1000 of this embodiment features a first output shaft 1111 and a second output shaft 1112 arranged laterally. The first output shaft 1111 has a clearance 1211 in the direction of the cutting blade 1210, allowing material to be cut from the material chamber 1200 and fall into the pressing chamber 1300 without obstruction. This improves the juicable size of the material and the pressing efficiency of the juicer 1000. Furthermore, when assembling the material chamber 1200 and the pressing chamber 1300 onto the main unit 1100, installation is simple and convenient as only the second output shaft 1112 needs to be connected.

The cutting tool 2210 is equipped with a first output shaft 2111, and the screw 2310 is equipped with a second output shaft 2112. The transmission mechanism 2120 is connected to the first output shaft 2111 and the second output shaft 2112. Both the first output shaft 2111 and the second output shaft 2112 are arranged laterally, and the included angle between them is 10 degrees. The first output shaft 2111 is located above the second output shaft 2112. A clearance 2211 is provided on the extension line of the first output shaft 2111 towards the cutting tool 2210. The length of the clearance 2211 on the first output shaft 2111 is 128 mm. In other embodiments, the length of the clearance can be 10 mm. The transmission mechanism 2120 makes the transmission ratio of the first output shaft 2111 and the second output shaft 2112 1. In other embodiments, the rotation ratio of the first output shaft and the second output shaft may also be 0.1 or 10.

[0052] The cutting tool 2210 includes two tool bodies 2212. In other embodiments, there may be three or more tool bodies. The two tool bodies 2212 are centrally symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the first output shaft 2111. The tool bodies 2212 are arranged in a curved shape.

[0053] The transmission mechanism 2120 is fixed inside the main unit 2100. The first output shaft 2111 and the second output shaft 2112 are assembled together with the transmission mechanism 2120 on the main unit 2100. The first output shaft 2111 is a hexagonal shaft, and the second output shaft 2112 is an octagonal shaft. The second output shaft 2112 is designed to be octagonal to facilitate simultaneous engagement of the first output shaft 2111 and the second output shaft 2112.

[0054] The juicer of this embodiment (not shown) has essentially the same effect as the juicer 1000 of Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 2120 of this embodiment is located within the main unit 2100, preventing contamination of gears and other components within the transmission mechanism 2120 during cleaning of the material chamber and pressing chamber.
