Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juicer technology, and in particular to a juicer and its fruit delivery device. Background Technology

[0002] Large juicers typically process multiple fruits at once, and once one batch of fruits is juiced, the next batch immediately enters the juicing process for a second juicing.

[0003] Existing juicers on the market have multiple fruit feeding troughs, from which the fruit rolls to be juiced. However, in actual operation, due to the inclination of the feeding troughs and the weight of the fruit, the fruit may become crowded and clustered when rolling in the longer troughs. This can affect the rolling and feeding action of the fruit, causing some juicing sections to be empty due to blockage, thus affecting the juicing process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides a juicer with a reasonable structure and its fruit feeding device. A fruit feeder is added to the fruit feeding trough. The fruit feeder is used to control the amount and speed of fruit feeding per unit time, so as to ensure that the fruit to be juiced can be fed in an orderly manner and juiced evenly.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A fruit feeding device includes several fruit feeding troughs arranged in parallel, each of the fruit feeding troughs having a rotatable fruit driver, and all fruit drivers being linked together; each fruit driver includes: Fixed base, receiving external torque. Clamping plates are arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the mounting base. Each clamping plate holds one claw, which contacts the fruit to be pressed. The fixed base drives the pawl to rotate to control the feeding speed.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The rotation direction of the fruit feeder is: the claw pushes the fruit to be pressed towards the discharge direction of the fruit feeding trough.

[0007] The angle between the fruit feeding trough and the horizontal plane is set, and a fruit feeding allowance is reserved between the fruit feeder and the lowest point of the fruit feeding trough in the vertical direction.

[0008] The claw is made of a flexible sheet.

[0009] The end of the claw that is away from the fixed base is spaced apart from the bottom of the fruit feeding groove.

[0010] A fixed support plate extends from the fixed base, and a clamping plate is fastened to the fixed support plate. The pawl is clamped and limited by the fixed support plate and the clamping plate.

[0011] The fruit feeding trough is an integrated multi-trough plate, and a vibration motor is installed at the bottom of the fruit feeding trough.

[0012] The feeding side of the fruit feeding trough is provided with a baffle that is horizontally supported at the opening of the fruit feeding trough.

[0013] A juicer has a fruit feeding device as described above. A power source is installed on the side wall of the juicer. The power source drives a pulley assembly. The output end of the pulley assembly is connected to a main shaft. The fixed seats of all the fruit feeders are connected to the main shaft and rotate synchronously.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The pulley assembly includes: The sprocket receives the torque output from the power source. The drive sprocket is coaxial with the sprocket. The driven wheel is coaxially mounted with the main shaft. The tensioner is located between the driving and driven wheels. The drive belt is tensioned on the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The drive belt is crossed between the driven pulley and the tensioning pulley, and the tensioning pulley provides tension at the crossing position of the drive belt.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention adds a fruit-driving device to the fruit feeding trough to prevent the accumulation of fruit during the rolling feeding process. The fruit-driving device is positioned slightly above the feeding trough, effectively blocking any accumulated fruit and preventing it from piling up at the trough's outlet. Furthermore, each fruit-driving device has several claws that intercept the fruit and are rotated by the main shaft at a certain angle within a unit of time, pushing the fruit forward in an orderly manner. This effectively ensures that the fruit in the feeding trough enters the juicing position one by one, reducing accumulation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the fruit feeding device of this embodiment includes several fruit feeding troughs 1 arranged in parallel, and each fruit feeding trough 1 is equipped with a rotatable fruit feeder 2, all of which are linked together; each fruit feeder 2 includes: Fixed base 201 receives external torque. Clamping plates 203 are arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the fixing base 201. Each clamping plate 203 holds one claw 204, and the claw 204 is in contact with the fruit to be pressed. The fixed base 201 drives the claw 204 to rotate to control the feeding speed.

[0025] The rotation direction of the fruit feeder 2 is: the claw 204 pushes the fruit to be pressed towards the discharge direction of the fruit feeding trough 1.

[0026] The fruit feeding trough 1 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane, and a fruit feeding allowance is reserved between the fruit feeder 2 and the lowest point of the fruit feeding trough 1 in the vertical direction.

[0027] The claw 204 uses a flexible sheet.

[0028] The end of the claw 204 facing away from the fixed base 201 is spaced apart from the bottom of the fruit feeding groove 1.

[0029] A fixed support plate 202 is formed on the fixed base 201, and a clamping plate 203 is fastened on the fixed support plate 202. The claw 204 is clamped and limited by the fixed support plate 202 and the clamping plate 203.

[0030] The fruit feeding trough 1 is an integrated multi-trough plate, and a vibration motor 3 is installed at the bottom of the fruit feeding trough 1.

[0031] On the feeding side of the fruit feeding trough 1, there is a baffle 101 that is horizontally supported at the opening of the fruit feeding trough 1.

[0032] The juicer in this embodiment is equipped with a fruit feeding device. A power source 4 is installed on the side wall of the juicer. The power source 4 drives a pulley group 6. The output end of the pulley group 6 is connected to a main shaft 7. All the fixed seats 201 of the fruit feeders 2 are connected to the main shaft 7 and rotate synchronously.

[0033] Pulley set 6 includes: Sprocket 601 receives the torque output from power source 4. The drive sprocket 602 is coaxially mounted with the sprocket 601. Driven wheel 603 is coaxially mounted with main shaft 7. Tensioner 604 is located between drive wheel 602 and driven wheel 603. The transmission belt 605 is tensioned on the driving pulley 602 and the driven pulley 603. The transmission belt 605 is cross-arranged between the driven pulley 603 and the tensioning pulley 604. The tensioning pulley 604 provides tension at the cross position of the transmission belt 605.

[0034] The specific structure and working principle of this application are as follows: like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic of the overall structure of the juicer. The juicer includes a motor as a power source 4. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a reducer 5, and the output of the reducer 5 transmits torque to the juicer via a transmission shaft. Figure 2 The pulley assembly 6 is shown. The pulley assembly 6 outputs torque to the main shaft 7, which drives several fruit feeders 2 on the main shaft 7 to rotate continuously at a constant speed, or to rotate intermittently.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure of pulley assembly 6 will be described below. Since the structure of the motor and reducer 5 for outputting torque is a common structure, it will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment.

[0036] The torque output by reducer 5 can be transmitted to sprocket 601 via a chain. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a drive wheel 602 is coaxially mounted on the side of the sprocket 601 facing the fruit-rolling device 2. A drive belt 605 is mounted on the drive wheel 602. A driven wheel 603 and a tension wheel 604 are mounted on the side wall of the juicer's casing. The tension wheel 604 is located between the drive wheel 602 and the driven wheel 603. As an optional structure, the centers of the drive wheel 602, tension wheel 604, and driven wheel 603 are collinear. The size of the tension wheel 604 is slightly smaller than the sizes of the drive wheel 602 and the driven wheel 603. Given the existing speed reduction by the reducer 5, the diameters of the drive wheel 602 and the driven wheel 603 can be the same, or the diameter of the driven wheel 603 can be set larger to further reduce speed.

[0037] Driven wheel 603 coaxially drives main shaft 7, on which linear array fruit feeders 2 are mounted.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the juicer is equipped with a fruit feeding trough 1, which can be made of a one-piece molded multi-trough plate to ensure its overall strength. (Refer to reference...) Figure 2 A vibrating motor 3 is installed at the bottom of the fruit feeding trough 1. When the vibrating motor 3 vibrates, it can help the fruit to be pressed roll down. However, during the rolling process, multiple fruits to be pressed may accumulate in one fruit feeding trough 1 or roll down into adjacent fruit feeding troughs 1. Therefore, the main improvement of this application is how to organize the fruits to be pressed into an orderly feeding state.

[0039] The structure that organizes the fruit to be pressed and adjusts the feeding speed of the fruit is called the fruit feeder 2. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each fruit feeding trough 1 is equipped with a fruit driving device 2, which is located on the axis of the fruit feeding trough 1.

[0040] The structure of a single fruit-driving device 2 is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 201 clamped onto the main shaft 7. After installation, the mounting base 201 forms a boss structure coaxial with the main shaft 7. On the circumferential surface of the mounting base 201, fixed support plates 202 are arranged in a circumferential array. The fixed support plates 202 are located on the diameter of the mounting base 201. As an optional embodiment, four or three fixed support plates 202 extend from each mounting base 201, preferably such that the included angle between adjacent fixed support plates 202 is just enough to accommodate one fruit to be pressed.

[0041] Each fixed tray 202 is equipped with a clamping plate 203, which is fastened to the fixed tray 202 with fasteners such as screws. The clamping plate 203 holds a flexible claw 204. The claw 204 can be made of rubber or nylon to prevent damage to the fruit to be pressed and to provide a certain degree of deformation to provide a gentle pushing force to the fruit.

[0042] To reduce the resistance when the pawl 204 rotates, a gap is reserved between the end of the pawl 204 away from the fixed base 201 and the bottom of the fruit feeding groove 1, so as to prevent the pawl 204 from scraping the bottom of the fruit feeding groove 1 and generating resistance, or from causing wear to the pawl 204 after long-term use.

[0043] To ensure smooth fruit feeding, the fruit feeder 2 is positioned near the opening of the fruit feeding trough 1. When the fruit to be pressed falls into the fruit feeding trough 1, it is prevented from detaching by the baffle 101 at the opening of the trough 1. As it rolls forward, it first contacts the claw 204, which rotates to push the fruit forward at a uniform speed. All the fruit feeders 2 rotate synchronously, and the claws 204 of these fruit feeders 2 are coplanar. Specifically, for example, the claws 204 on the fruit feeders 2 can be named abcd, where all claws a, b, c, and d are coplanar. This ensures that the fruit feeding progress of each fruit feeding trough 1 is the same, and that each batch of fruit entering the juicing position can be placed in place simultaneously.

[0044] The advantage of this application is that it can regulate the feeding status of the fruit to be pressed, and prevent the fruit from piling up and the feeding from being obstructed.

[0045] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
