Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of juicing technology, specifically relating to a pressure bowl for juicing oranges. Background Technology

[0002] Juicers, especially those for citrus fruits (such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits), have become an indispensable tool in family kitchens due to their advantages such as simple operation, easy cleaning, and no need for electricity.

[0003] Traditionally, users must rely entirely on their wrists and arms to squeeze the juice, which is physically demanding and easily leads to fatigue, especially when squeezing multiple oranges consecutively or dealing with fruits with thick flesh. Furthermore, hand-squeezing makes it difficult to ensure even pressure, resulting in some pulp not being fully squeezed and leading to unsatisfactory juice yield. During squeezing, juice easily splashes from the contact edge between the orange and the press head, splattering onto the work surface, the user's clothing, and the surrounding environment. This not only wastes juice but also creates troublesome cleaning problems, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure bowl for juicing oranges, in order to solve the problems of juice splashing during juicing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A pressure bowl for juicing oranges includes a collection box and a pressure bowl placed in the opening direction of the collection box for pressing orange juice. The surface of the pressure bowl is provided with a dividing line that divides the upper plane of the pressure bowl into four downward sloping surfaces. A pressure ball is provided in the middle of the upper part of the pressure bowl, and half an orange is placed upside down on the pressure ball to press and extract juice. An L-plate is installed on the side of the collection box. An auxiliary component for pressing oranges is installed on the L-plate to prevent juice from splashing during the juicing process. The auxiliary component includes a pressure cover, which is arc-shaped. An extension rod is fixed to the arched end of the pressure cover. The top of the extension rod passes through the L-plate. The center of the pressure cover is directly above the pressure ball. One end of the extension rod is connected to the handle. The top of the extension rod has a thread, and the extension rod is installed by threadedly engaging with the handle.

[0006] Preferably, the pressure ball is an ellipsoid. The major axis of the ellipsoid can better guide the placement of the orange, aligning its core (central part) with the direction of force applied by the pressure ball, thereby more evenly and efficiently crushing all the segments and squeezing out more juice.

[0007] Preferably, the surface of the pressure bowl is provided with rectangular grooves and circular holes evenly distributed around the pressure ball. The rectangular grooves and circular holes are used to drain the juice from the surface of the pressure bowl into the collection box for storage.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure bowl has symmetrical overflow grooves on both sides. The overflow grooves are to further ensure that the juice can enter the collection box.

[0009] Preferably, the overflow channel has an arc-shaped opening on one side of its center. The arc-shaped opening allows the user to easily remove the pressure bowl by bringing their finger close to it, and the pressure bowl can be directly rinsed for easy cleaning. The pressure bowl and the pressure ball are integrally molded, which can be considered as an injection molding method.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the pressure ball has guide grooves at equal intervals, a partition rib is formed between every two guide grooves, and a contact rib is provided on each partition rib, the contact rib extending downward from above the pressure ball along the outer wall of the pressure ball.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure ball has a raised head at its center. The raised head helps the pressure ball to smoothly enter the orange.

[0012] Preferably, the pressure cover has four equally spaced anti-slip blocks inside. These anti-slip blocks provide an anti-slip effect when squeezing the orange, and the anti-slip effect is further improved when combined with the contact ribs on the pressure ball. At the same time, during the squeezing process, the handle can be held appropriately to rotate the pressure cover, which can drive the orange to rotate. Combined with the contact ribs, this further improves the juicing effect.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of soft strips are evenly distributed at the bottom end of the pressure cover. When juicing through the pressure cover, juice may still splash out. The soft strips can block and further isolate the splashed juice. The blocking effect of the soft strips is related to their density. The soft strips can be round or rectangular. The soft strips are made of soft rubber, which is convenient for rinsing and use. Moreover, the soft material properties of the soft strips will not affect the purpose of picking up and placing oranges.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This auxiliary component provides a uniform pressure surface, eliminating the need for manual squeezing. Users can easily and effortlessly complete the juicing process by simply pressing down on the auxiliary component, significantly reducing operational intensity and improving juicing efficiency. 2. More complete juice extraction: The auxiliary component works in conjunction with the pressure ball below to create an effective squeezing space. The orange is subjected to even and comprehensive squeezing between the two, helping to release the juice from the pulp more fully and increasing the juice yield. 3. Effective splash prevention and cleanliness: The auxiliary component acts as a physical barrier during the squeezing process, effectively blocking juice splashes caused by squeezing and preventing them from splashing onto the table, user's clothing, or the surrounding environment. This solves the common cleaning problems of manual juicing and keeps the operating area clean and hygienic. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1: See reference Figures 1-7 A pressure bowl for juicing oranges, including a collection box 10; the collection box 10 is used to collect orange juice.

[0026] Press bowl 20 is placed in the opening direction of collection box 10 for pressing orange juice. The surface of press bowl 20 has a dividing line 201, which divides the upper plane of press bowl 20 into four downward sloping surfaces. Press ball 206 is provided in the middle of the upper part of press bowl 20. Half an orange is placed upside down on press ball 206 and pressed to extract juice. In the above scheme, an orange is cut open with a knife, and then the half orange is placed upside down on the pressure ball 206. The juice is extracted by pressing and rotating the ball. Since the dividing line 201 divides the upper plane of the pressure bowl 20 into four downward sloping surfaces, it can be concluded that the extracted juice will drip onto the surface of the pressure bowl 20 and slide down along the four downward sloping surfaces into the collection box 10 for storage.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 An L-plate 30 is installed on the side of the collection box 10. An auxiliary component for pressing oranges is installed on the L-plate 30 to prevent juice from splashing during the juicing process.

[0028] In the above solution, the auxiliary component can be used to press the half of the orange above the pressure ball 206 to complete the juicing operation. The auxiliary component covers the part of the orange. When the auxiliary component is pressed, the orange is squeezed and supported by the pressure ball 206, which causes juice to flow out. During the juicing process, there will be splashing juice. The auxiliary component can block the splashing juice and prevent the splashed juice from splashing onto the table. This solution is highly efficient, labor-saving, and easy to operate: The auxiliary component provides a uniform pressure surface, eliminating the need for manual squeezing. Users can easily and effortlessly complete the juicing process by simply pressing down on the auxiliary component, significantly reducing operational intensity and improving juicing efficiency. Juice extraction is more complete: The auxiliary component works in conjunction with the pressure ball 206 below to form an effective squeezing space. The orange is subjected to uniform and comprehensive squeezing between them, helping to release the juice from the pulp more fully and increasing the juice yield. Effective splash prevention and cleanliness maintenance: The auxiliary component acts as a physical barrier during the squeezing process, effectively blocking juice splashes caused by squeezing and preventing them from splashing onto the table, user clothing, or the surrounding environment. This solves the common cleaning problems of manual juicing and keeps the operating area clean and hygienic. It should be noted that the half orange is placed upside down on top of the pressure ball 206. The orange can be stabilized on top of the pressure ball 206 by squeezing it with a certain amount of force, and the orange can be squeezed by pressing the auxiliary part.

[0029] Preferred solution reference Figure 2The pressure ball 206 is an ellipsoid. The major axis of the ellipsoid better guides the placement of the orange, aligning its core (central part) with the direction of force applied by the pressure ball 206, thus more evenly and efficiently cracking all segments and squeezing out more juice. Gradual compression: The curvature of the ellipsoid changes from top to bottom. The top is more pointed with a smaller radius of curvature; the bottom is more rounded with a larger radius of curvature. Initial contact: When pressure begins, the smaller curvature at the top allows it to more easily penetrate the orange's interior, breaking through the peel and forming the initial cracking point. Subsequent compression: As the pressure depth increases, the more rounded and larger surface area of ​​the middle and bottom of the pressure ball begins to contact the pulp, dispersing pressure and providing large-area, gentle compression, avoiding excessive compression that could cause bitterness to seep from the pith. Simultaneously, the more pointed top of the ellipsoid prevents the orange from slipping, improving the stability of the juicing process.

[0030] Further reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the pressure bowl 20 is equidistantly distributed with rectangular grooves 202 and circular holes 203 around the pressure ball 206. The rectangular grooves 202 and circular holes 203 are used to drain the juice on the surface of the pressure bowl 20 into the collection box 10 for storage.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the compressed juice will flow along the surface of the pressure bowl 20, and during the flow, the juice will enter the rectangular trough 202 or the circular hole 203 to fall into the collection box 10.

[0032] Preferred Solution Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pressure bowl 20 has symmetrical overflow grooves 204 on both sides. The overflow grooves 204 are to further ensure that the juice can enter the collection box 10.

[0033] Preferred Solution Reference Figure 2 An arc-shaped opening 205 is provided on one side of the center of the overflow channel 204. The arc-shaped opening 205 allows the user to easily remove the pressure bowl 20 by bringing their finger close to the arc-shaped opening 205. The pressure bowl 20 can be directly rinsed for easy cleaning. The pressure bowl 20 and the pressure ball 206 are integrally molded, which can be seen as an injection molding method.

[0034] refer to Figures 1-5 The outer wall of the pressure ball 206 has guide grooves 207 at equal intervals, and a partition rib 208 is formed between every two guide grooves 207. Each partition rib 208 is provided with a contact rib 209, which extends downward from the top of the pressure ball 206 along the outer wall of the pressure ball 206.

[0035] In the above scheme, the squeezed juice slides down the guide groove 207 and drips onto the surface of the pressure bowl 20. The contact ribs 209 greatly increase the friction with the orange surface, allowing the pressure ball to firmly "grip" the orange, effectively preventing the orange from sliding, shifting, or popping out during downward squeezing and rotation. This ensures precise pressure application, making operation safer and less strenuous. Simultaneously, the contact ribs 209 act as concentrated stress applicators. When pressure is applied to the orange peel and pulp through the contact ribs 209, greater pressure is generated, making it easier and faster to tear the orange peel and the inner sac walls, improving the squeezing effect. The grooves between the contact ribs 209 form natural flow channels. The squeezed juice flows smoothly downwards along these grooves, instead of flowing randomly or accumulating on the contact surface between the pressure ball and the orange.

[0036] Further reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressure ball 206 has a raised head 210 at the center of its top. The raised head 210 helps the pressure ball 206 to smoothly enter the interior of the orange.

[0037] Example 2: refer to Figures 1-6 The auxiliary components include a pressure cover 301, which is arc-shaped. An extension rod 302 is fixed to the arched end of the pressure cover 301. The top end of the extension rod 302 passes through the L-plate 30. The center of the pressure cover 301 is directly above the pressure ball 206. One end of the extension rod 302 is connected to the handle 303. The top end of the extension rod 302 has a thread, and the extension rod 302 is installed by threaded engagement with the handle 303.

[0038] In the above scheme, since the top of the extension rod 302 has a thread, it is connected to the handle 303 through a threaded connection. Therefore, after the pressing is completed, the handle 303 can be rotated off and the pressure cover 301 can be removed from the L plate 30, which facilitates the subsequent rinsing of the pressure cover 301. When juicing, after the oranges are placed, the handle 303 is held and moved down, so that the pressure cover 301 moves down to squeeze the oranges on the top of the pressure ball 206 for juicing. The use of the pressure cover 301 can avoid pressing the oranges directly with your hands, improving working comfort. At the same time, the pressure cover 301 is curved, so the pressure cover 301 can cover the oranges, which can prevent juice from splashing during the pressing process. It should be noted here that: for the sake of convenient graphic design... Figures 1-3 The extension rod 302 in the figure is not represented by a fracture symbol, while Figure 5The extension rod 302 is marked with a fracture symbol to indicate that the length of the extension rod 302 needs to be such that the pressure cover 301 can squeeze the orange to the top of the pressure ball 206. The specific length of the extension rod 302 is limited by the height of the pressure ball 206 and the L plate 30. To find a suitable value for the extension rod 302, we need to determine its height.

[0039] Preferred Solution Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pressure cover 301 has four equally spaced anti-slip blocks 304 inside. These anti-slip blocks 304 provide an anti-slip effect when squeezing the oranges. Combined with the contact ribs 209 on the pressure ball 206, the anti-slip effect is further improved. At the same time, during the squeezing process, the handle 303 can be held appropriately to rotate the pressure cover 301, which can drive the oranges to rotate. Combined with the contact ribs 209 to divide the pulp, the juicing effect is further improved.

[0040] Example 3: refer to Figure 7 Several flexible strips 305 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the pressure cover 301.

[0041] In this embodiment, when juicing through the pressure cover 301, juice may still splash out. The soft strip 305 can block and further isolate the splashed juice. The blocking effect of the soft strip 305 is related to its density. The soft strip 305 can be round or rectangular. The soft strip 305 is made of soft rubber, which is convenient to wash and use. Moreover, the soft material properties of the soft strip 305 will not affect the purpose of picking up and placing oranges.

[0042] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: Half an orange is placed upside down on top of the pressure ball 206. Hold the handle 303 and move it down, which causes the pressure cover 301 to move down and squeeze the orange on top of the pressure ball 206 to extract juice. The juice will slide down the guide groove 207 and drip onto the surface of the pressure bowl 20. The juice will flow along the surface of the pressure bowl 20. During the flow, the juice will enter the rectangular trough 202 or the circular hole 203 and fall into the collection box 10.
