Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juicer technology, and in particular to a six-station cup juicer. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, it's well known that cup juicers are large-scale processing equipment specifically designed for pressing citrus fruits. They are used for pressing citrus fruits, separating juice, peel, and pulp, and for the initial extraction of citrus oil. Because the extracted juice contains fewer bitter substances, it has been widely adopted by many juice manufacturers. Currently, differentiated juicing solutions are used in China for citrus fruits of different sizes:

[0003] 1. Small fruit diameter processing: For citrus fruits (such as lemons) with a diameter of 2 inches or less, an eight-station cup juicer is generally used to achieve efficient processing through multi-station collaboration;

[0004] 2. Processing of mainstream fruit diameters: For common fruit diameters such as 2-3 / 8 inches, 3 inches, and 4 inches (e.g., navel oranges and blood oranges), due to limitations in equipment compatibility and cost, traditional five-station orange presses are still widely used. The stations are: fruit positioning, pre-pressing, fine pressing, peeling, and pulp-juice separation.

[0005] The existing five-station orange press has too low processing efficiency. If the efficiency is improved by simply adding more stations, new equipment needs to be purchased. The existing equipment still cannot improve efficiency, resulting in increased investment costs. Therefore, how to break through the efficiency bottleneck by optimizing stations and structural innovation while maintaining the existing equipment size and structure, and at the same time improve the orange oil extraction rate and separation accuracy, has become a technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, both the upper and lower cups are composed of several reinforcing ribs, with gaps between adjacent reinforcing ribs. The upper and lower cups have a partial receiving cavity in the middle, and the two receiving cavities are combined to form a complete receiving cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper cup's receiving cavity is a through hole, and the upper knife passes through this through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, there is a void area above the pressure axis.

[0013] Furthermore, the main unit is also equipped with a main drive system, which is connected to the juicing cam via a transmission shaft.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 The illustrated six-station cup-type juicer includes a main unit 1. The main unit 1 has a fixed-volume working space with six juicing stations installed side by side. Each juicing station has a juicing cup 2, which includes a cup body and a central receiving cavity 22. The diameter of each juicing cup 2 is equal to one-sixth of the working space. The volume of the receiving cavity 22 of each juicing cup 2 is the volume of 2-3 / 8 inches or 3 inches of citrus fruit. The sum of the width W1 of the cup body and the diameter D1 of the central receiving cavity 22 is equal to one-sixth of the working space. The outer diameter of the cup body is reduced while ensuring strength, so that the working space of five stations becomes six stations, further improving production efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the press cup 2 includes an upper cup part and a lower cup part. The upper cup part includes an upper cup cap 23 and an upper cup 24. The upper cup 24 is installed below the upper cup cap 23. A pressure shaft 21 is installed at the upper end of the upper cup cap 23. There is a void area above the pressure shaft 21. There is a cavity between the upper cup cap 23 and the upper cup 24. An upper blade 25 connected to the upper cup cap 23 is installed in the cavity. A slicing blade 26 is installed on the upper blade 25. The slicing blade 26 is vertically arranged with the upper blade 25. The bottom of the cavity of the upper cup 24 is a through hole, and the upper blade 25 passes through the through hole.

[0029] The lower cup part includes a lower cup 27, on the bottom surface of which a lower blade 28 and a filter tube 29 are installed. The lower blade 28 has a through hole in the middle, and the juice outlet section of the filter tube 29 is filled with filter holes. A core remover 210 is slidably installed in the filter tube 29.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper cup 24 and the lower cup 27 are both made up of several reinforcing ribs. There are gaps between adjacent reinforcing ribs to form upper cup claws and lower cup claws. There is a partial receiving cavity in the middle of the upper cup 24 and the lower cup 27. The upper and lower receiving cavities are combined to form a complete receiving cavity 22.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the main drive system is also installed on the main unit 1. The main drive system is connected to the juicing cam 3 through the transmission shaft. The pressure table 6 is equipped with a cam roller shaft 5, and a cam bearing 4 is sleeved on the cam roller shaft 5. The juicing cam 3 is located above the cam roller shaft 5 and contacts the cam bearing 4, transmitting the movement of the juicing cam 3 to the pressure table 6, causing it to produce a vertical squeezing action. At the same time, the position of the juicing cam 3 is also moved outward from its original position. The stiffness of the large tension spring 9 needs to match the return force of the juicing cam 3 to assist in rapid lifting and make room so that the next fruit can enter the juicing cup as soon as possible for squeezing. The pressure shaft 21 in the juicing cup 2 passes through the pressure table 6, concentrating the force of the pressure table 6 to efficiently squeeze the pulp. The pressure table 6 directly applies the force transmitted by the juicing cam 3 to the juicing cup 2 through the pressure shaft 21 to complete the juicing action.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the length L1 of the cam roller shaft 5 is equal to or less than the length L2 between one side of the pressure table 6 and the one side pressure shaft 21. In other words, the length of the cam roller shaft 5 is shorter than that of the five-station juicer to make room for the installation of the pressure shaft 21.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, symmetrically arranged bearing seats 7 are installed in the inner cavity of the main unit 1. The main drive shaft 8 is installed on the two bearing seats 7 to ensure axial stability. The main drive shaft 8 converts rotational motion into linear motion to adjust the height or preload of the pressure table 6. The main drive shaft 8 is connected to the pressure table 6 through the juicing cam 3. Several large tension springs 9 are provided between the main unit 1 and the pressure table 6. During the juicing stage, the main drive shaft 8 drives the pressure table 6 to press down, and the large tension springs 9 are stretched and store energy. During the reset stage, the large tension springs 9 are used to assist the upper cup 24 to lift up quickly. After juicing is completed, the pressure table 6 is pulled back to the initial position, thereby balancing the gravity of the pressure table 6, reducing return energy consumption, and ensuring the continuity of the action.

[0034] The pressure table 6 has a main drive shaft 8 for tensioning in the middle. The pressure shaft 21 is positioned by the friction after tightening. When foreign objects or parts malfunctions in the lower cup and cause impact, the friction cannot withstand the force on the lower part, and the pressure shaft 21 is lifted. After the pressure shaft 21 is lifted, the safety sensor is pushed up and hits the limit switch, and the equipment stops for protection.

[0035] The main unit 1 is equipped with a drive device 10, which is connected to the main drive shaft 8 and is used to drive the main drive shaft 8 to rotate.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 1 is also equipped with a feeding trough 11 corresponding to the juicing station. A guide rail 12 is provided between the juicing cup 2 and the feeding trough 11. A vibration motor is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough 11 to vibrate the fruit inside. The feeding trough 11 vibrates under the action of the vibration motor. For round fruits, vibration is not necessary, but for irregular fruits, vibration is essential.

[0037] Work process:

[0038] In the juice production workshop, after manual sorting and size grading, the fruits are conveyed by a conveyor belt inclined at approximately 20° and enter the feeding trough 11 via a fruit guiding device. The fruits roll down the feeding trough 11 and enter the lower cup 27 along the guide rail 12. The fruits entering the lower cup 27 stop at the top of the lower blade 28. In the upper cup section, there is an upper blade 25. The upper cup 24 moves rapidly downward until it contacts the fruit, creating a squeezing action.

[0039] When the upper cup 24 squeezes the fruit to a certain extent, the upper cup 24 and the lower cup 27 completely wrap the fruit, and the lower knife 28 cuts off a round piece of peel at the bottom of the fruit to form a round hole.

[0040] As the upper cup 24 continues to descend, it continues to squeeze the fruit, pressing the round peel, juice, pulp, and pit into the filter tube 29 through the lower cutter 28. As the upper cup 24 continues to move downward, all the internal tissues of the fruit are pressed into the filter tube 29, leaving only the peel.

[0041] When the upper cup 24 reaches its lowest position, the upper cup 24 and the lower cup 27 are fully engaged, the upper knife 25 and the lower knife 28 join together, and another round piece of peel is cut open at the top of the peel to form a round hole. The chopped round peel is pressed into the lower knife 25.

[0042] The remaining peel is squeezed by the lower cup claws and enters the abdominal cavity of the upper cup 24; it is then squeezed into a ring shape by the upper cup claws and finally pressed into the upper cup cap 23. In the upper cup cap 23, the peel is cut into segments by the slicing blade 26 and, with the rapid upward movement of the upper cup, is flung out from the opening of the upper cup cap 23. The peel and oil, cut into fine shreds, are discharged around the lower cup 27. The core remover 210 moves upward only after the fruit has been pressed and the upper cup is facing upward. Using the core remover blade at its top, it scrapes the inner wall of the filter tube 29 clean, facilitating the juicing of the next fruit. The oil can be further processed to recover the peel oil.

[0043] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
