Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juicer technology, and in particular to an oxygen-isolation structure for a juicer. Background Technology

[0002] The working process of a juicer is as follows: Fruit is fed into the hopper, which then gradually feeds the concentrated fruit into the juicing stage. Because the hopper typically has a large inlet, especially in large commercial juicers with a large capacity, there are still many gaps after the fruit is added, and these gaps are filled with air. Furthermore, as more fruit is added, more air is introduced. Since the entire internal space of the juicer is interconnected, oxygen from the air enters the subsequent juicing stages, causing the juice to brown and affecting its flavor and nutritional value. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application addresses the shortcomings of the existing production technology by providing an oxygen-barrier structure for a juicer. An inert gas inlet is provided at the hopper to introduce nitrogen into the equipment chamber, thereby displacing oxygen and preventing the juice from oxidizing and turning brown.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An oxygen-barrier structure for a juicer, applied to a juicer including a feed hopper and a juicing chamber.

[0006] The oxygen-barrier structure includes an inert gas inlet on the feed hopper; an oxygen-inert gas separation layer is formed inside the feed hopper, and the inert gas fills the juicing chamber to form an anaerobic juicing environment.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] An oxygen extrusion distance is reserved between the inert gas inlet and the feed hopper opening.

[0009] The inert gas inlet is located on the side wall of the feed hopper.

[0010] Nitrogen is used as the inert gas.

[0011] The juicing chamber is a fully sealed chamber, including several cover plates used in combination, with a sealing structure between adjacent cover plates.

[0012] The frame is equipped with support ribs, which serve as the mounting base for the sealing structure.

[0013] The sealing structure includes:

[0014] The first connector clamps and covers the edge of the cover plate.

[0015] The first connector is located between the first connecting member and the support rib.

[0016] The support rib has a second connecting member on at least one side along the length of the juicer, and the first connecting member is pressed onto the second connecting member or support rib on the side away from the cover plate.

[0017] Both the first and second connecting parts are sealing edges that cover the plates.

[0018] The sealing of the cover plate in the vertical plane is achieved through a sealing structure, while the sealing of the cover plate in the horizontal plane is achieved through clamping components.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This invention is easy to operate, requiring no additional steps or operations during the juicing process, and does not affect the original production rhythm of the original equipment.

[0021] This invention features an inert gas inlet in the feeding hopper. An inert gas, such as nitrogen, is introduced into the hopper. Because nitrogen is heavier than air, it sinks, pushing the air upwards. This creates a clear stratification within the feeding hopper, with air at the top and nitrogen at the bottom. Once the lower part of the feeding hopper and the juicing chamber are filled with nitrogen, air can no longer enter the juicing chamber. Combined with the airtight shell of the juicing chamber, this ensures that the juicing process takes place in an oxygen-free environment, thereby preserving the clear color, flavor, and nutritional value of the juice.

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the oxygen-barrier structure of the juicer in this embodiment is applied to a juicer, which includes a feed hopper 1 and a juicing chamber 2.

[0032] The oxygen-barrier structure includes an inert gas inlet 3 set on the feed hopper 1; an oxygen-inert gas separation layer is formed in the feed hopper 1, and the inert gas fills the juicing chamber 2 to form an anaerobic juicing environment.

[0033] An oxygen extrusion distance is reserved between the inert gas inlet 3 and the opening of the feed hopper 1.

[0034] The inert gas inlet 3 is located on the side wall of the feed hopper 1.

[0035] Nitrogen is used as the inert gas.

[0036] Juicing chamber 2 is a fully sealed chamber, including several cover plates 4 used in combination, and a sealing structure 5 is provided between adjacent cover plates 4.

[0037] The frame is equipped with support ribs 6, which serve as the mounting base for the sealing structure 5.

[0038] The sealing structure 5 includes:

[0039] The first connector 501 clamps and covers the edge of the cover plate 4.

[0040] The first connector 503 is located between the first connecting member 501 and the support rib 6.

[0041] The support rib 6 has a second connector 502 on at least one side along the length of the juicer, and the first connector 503 is pressed onto the second connector 502 or the support rib 6 on the side away from the cover plate 4.

[0042] Both the first connector 501 and the second connector 502 are sealing edges covering the plate.

[0043] The sealing of the cover plate 4 in the vertical plane is achieved by the sealing structure 5, and the sealing of the cover plate 4 in the horizontal plane is achieved by the clamping component. The clamping component can be a commercially available quick clamp, fastening bolt, or other parts. By applying pressure to the cover plate 4, a tight fit between the cover plate 4 and the frame is achieved, thus realizing a sealed connection.

[0044] The specific structure and working principle of this application are as follows:

[0045] like Figure 1 The figure shown is a schematic diagram of the juicer of this utility model. An inert gas inlet 3 is provided on the side wall of the feed hopper 1.

[0046] The inert gas inlet 3 is located in the middle of the feed hopper 1 or near the bottom of the feed hopper 1, so that there is space above the feed hopper 1 to accommodate the squeezed air.

[0047] In one embodiment of this application, nitrogen is used as the inert gas.

[0048] To ensure that the inert gas entering the juicing chamber 2 does not easily escape and that outside air does not easily enter, this application also provides a sealing structure 5 to ensure the airtightness of the juicing chamber 2.

[0049] like Figure 2 The outer shell of the juicer is composed of several cover plates 4 spliced ​​together, and the sealing structure 5 is set between adjacent cover plates 4.

[0050] The sealing structure 5 in this application consists of a cover plate 4 and an integrally formed first connector 503, a connecting member, and a support rib 6 on the cover plate 4.

[0051] Among them, the cover plate 4 and the first connecting member 503 are actually the cover plate 4 and the stiffening plate on the cover plate 4. For the sake of understanding the subsequent composition structure, the stiffening plate is referred to as the first connecting member 503.

[0052] Both the first connector 501 and the second connector 502 are silicone sealing strips with a "U" shaped cross-section.

[0053] The support rib 6 is a reference set on the frame for supporting and installing the cover plate 4.

[0054] The following explanation uses three sealing structures 5 in different locations as examples:

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the sealing structure 5 is for the first installation position. Near the feed hopper 1, a first connecting member 501 is provided on the side wall of the feed hopper 1, and the first connecting member 501 covers the edge of the cover plate 4. The first connecting member 503 extending from the cover plate 4 can be pressed against the frame or the support rib 6, or it can be suspended. Because the cover plate 4 does not need to bear a large external force, this structure, combined with the support rib 6 on the other side, can theoretically achieve the function of load-bearing support.

[0056] like Figure 4 The image shows sealing structure 5 for the second installation position. For ease of understanding, refer to the reference... Figure 6A three-dimensional sectional view of the sealing structure 5 is shown. Cover plates 4 are provided on both the left and right sides of the support rib 6. First connecting members 501 are provided on the opposite edges of the two cover plates 4. A gap is provided between the two first connecting members 501 to prevent excessive resistance during disassembly due to tight fit. The first connecting member 503 is positioned to avoid the first connecting member 501, i.e., there is a small distance between the first connecting member 503 and the edge of the cover plate 4. The side of the first connecting member 503 facing away from the cover plate 4 presses against the top surface of the support rib 6. At least one side of the support rib 6 is equipped with a second connecting member 502. The first connecting member 503 on the side with the second connecting member 502 is pressed onto the second connecting member 502.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, this is the sealing structure 5 for the third installation position.

[0058] and Figure 4 The difference is that, Figure 5 The second connector 502 in the middle, and Figure 4 The second connector 502 is installed on different sides of the support rib 6. That is, according to the orientation shown in the figure, Figure 4 The second connecting piece 502 is installed on the side near the feed hopper 1, i.e., on the left side of the figure; Figure 5 The second connecting piece 502 is installed on the side of the support rib 6 away from the feed hopper 1, i.e., on the right side of the figure.

[0059] The installation of the above three sealing structures 5 can provide a reliable sealing space, ensuring that no air enters the juicing chamber 2.
