Description

Juicer assembly without rubber ring filter Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of juicers, in particular to a juicer component without a rubber ring filter. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a juicer is a common food processing device. Its operating principle is to cut ingredients with a high-speed rotating cutting blade while simultaneously filtering the juice from the pulp through a filter screen or filter trough. During the juicing process, the pulp is shredded into pomace, which is discharged from the pomace outlet. To improve juicing efficiency, a common horizontal juicer typically has a rubber ring installed on the side of the filter screen below the juicing screw near the pomace outlet. Tightening the screw cap on the pomace outlet applies pressure to the rubber ring, increasing the squeezing force on the pomace and thus improving the juice yield.

[0003] However, this type of rubber ring fixed or detachably arranged on the filter has the problem of being inconvenient to clean: on the one hand, the rubber ring is arranged inside the residue outlet, and the residue residue will block the gap between it and the residue outlet, making it difficult to clean, and the squeezing effect will be reduced after long-term use; on the other hand, the filter itself is not easy to remove in the juicer barrel. In order to fix the rubber ring, the filter itself usually adopts a complex snap-on structure, which not only has a large number of slots and is inconvenient to disassemble and clean, but is also not conducive to the disassembly and cleaning of other extruded parts in the juicer barrel. Technical issues

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a juicer assembly without a rubber ring filter, which realizes the rapid disassembly and more convenient cleaning of the components at the residue outlet of the juicer and improves the maintainability of the assembly.

[0006] In order to further improve the convenience of cleaning, it also includes a nail barrel embedded in the screw cap, the nail barrel is coaxially arranged with the screw cap and cooperates with the opening on the screw cap to form the slag discharge channel, the outer wall of the nail barrel and the inner wall of the screw cap are spaced apart to form a gap for the outer wall of the slag discharge port to be screwed in, when the screw cap is screwed to the slag discharge port, the end of the nail barrel opposite to the opening is at least partially placed in the slag discharge port, the annular baffle is embedded in the end of the nail barrel placed in the slag discharge port, and the inner diameter of the annular baffle is smaller than the aperture of the slag discharge channel.

[0007] In order to fix the annular baffle, an annular slot is provided at one end of the nail barrel placed in the slag outlet, and an insert portion adapted to the annular slot is provided on the side of the annular baffle facing the opening area, and the annular baffle is connected to the nail barrel through the insert portion and the annular slot.

[0008] In order to better seal the extrusion area, a sealing skirt is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the annular baffle.

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1-5, the juicer assembly without a rubber ring filter described in this embodiment includes a juicer body 10 and a residue outlet 20 provided on the juicer body 10, and a rotary cover 1 screwed together with the residue outlet 20, the rotary cover 1 has a residue outlet channel 2, the residue outlet channel 2 is connected to the residue outlet 20, and is used to discharge the residue discharged from the residue outlet 20; an annular baffle 3 is provided in the residue outlet channel 2, when the rotary cover 1 is screwed onto the residue outlet 20, the annular baffle 3 is placed in the residue outlet 20, and is used to gather the residue discharged from the residue outlet 20 into the residue outlet channel 2; the annular baffle 3 is detachably connected to the rotary cover 1 and is configured to move synchronously with the tightening or loosening of the rotary cover 1 to adjust the squeezing force of the annular baffle 3 on the residue in the residue outlet 20. The rotary cover 1 of this design is provided with a residue discharge channel 2, which cooperates with the residue discharge port 20 on the juicer body 10. An annular baffle 3 is provided in the residue discharge channel 2. During operation, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the residue produced by juicing is discharged from the residue discharge port 20. The annular baffle 3 gathers the residue inside the residue discharge port 20, so that the residue accumulates and is subjected to the pressure generated by the juicer screw. The residue becomes more compact, which is conducive to squeezing more juice, thereby improving the juice yield. The compacted residue then enters the residue discharge channel 2 and is discharged outside the juicer body 10. In this embodiment, the annular baffle 3 and the screw cap 1 are detachably connected, so that the baffle 3 can move as the screw cap 1 is tightened or loosened, thereby changing the volume of the residue accumulated at the residue outlet 20 to adjust the squeezing force on the residue. For compacted residues such as celery and carrots, sufficient space can be left for squeezing to increase the squeezing force on the residue, thereby facilitating juice extraction. The entire structure is simple and practical, and assembly can be achieved by tightening the screw cap 1. When disassembling, the annular baffle 3 can be removed for easy cleaning, thereby improving maintainability.

[0021] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, in order to further improve the convenience of cleaning, a nail barrel 4 is also included that is embedded in the screw cap 1. The nail barrel 4 is coaxially arranged with the screw cap 1 and cooperates with the opening 11 on the screw cap 1 to form the slag discharge channel 2. The outer wall of the nail barrel 4 and the inner wall of the screw cap 1 are spaced apart to form a gap 5 for the outer wall of the slag discharge port 20 to be screwed in. When the screw cap 1 is screwed to the slag discharge port 20, the end of the nail barrel 4 opposite to the opening is at least partially placed in the slag discharge port 20, and the annular baffle 3 is embedded in the end of the nail barrel 4 placed in the slag discharge port 20, and the inner diameter of the annular baffle 3 is smaller than the aperture of the slag discharge channel. This structure enables the annular baffle 3 to be embedded in the nail barrel 4, and is not directly fixed to the slag outlet 20, which is convenient for disassembly. After the screw cap is removed, the annular baffle 3, the nail barrel 4 and the screw cap 1 can be separated and cleaned, which greatly reduces the cleaning dead angle caused by the slotting. The gap 5 of the nail barrel 4 cooperates with the slag outlet 20 to achieve an interlocking connection between the screw cap 1 and the juicer body 10 as a whole, ensuring that the slag discharge component maintains stability during operation; the design that the inner diameter of the annular baffle 3 is smaller than the aperture of the slag discharge channel 2 ensures that the annular baffle 3 can exert effective squeezing force on the residue in the slag outlet 20, which helps to maximize the extraction of juice and improve the juicing efficiency.

[0022] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 4, and 5, an annular slot 41 is provided at one end of the nail barrel 4 placed in the slag outlet 20, and a plug-in portion 31 that matches the annular slot 41 is provided on the side of the annular baffle 3 facing the area where the opening is located. The annular baffle 3 is connected to the nail barrel 4 through the plug-in portion 31 and the annular slot 41. The design of the annular slot 41 and the plug-in portion 31 ensures that the annular baffle 3 is securely fixed to the nail barrel 4, and the annular baffle 3 can be easily disassembled and reassembled when necessary for cleaning or maintenance without requiring a lot of time and effort.

[0023] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, to better seal the squeeze area, a sealing skirt 32 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the annular baffle 3. The sealing skirt 32 is inclined, and the inclination direction of the sealing skirt 32 is consistent with the direction in which the annular baffle 3 is inserted into the slag outlet 20. The design of the sealing skirt 32 squeezes the residue in the slag outlet 20 in a predetermined area, preventing residue or juice from penetrating into the difficult-to-clean parts of the slag outlet assembly. This helps to reduce the difficulty of maintenance and improve the maintainability of the juicer. The inclined configuration of the sealing skirt 32, on the one hand, allows the annular baffle 3 to be inserted into the slag outlet 20 more smoothly when the screw cap 1 is tightened. On the other hand, it also ensures that after the annular baffle 3 is inserted into the slag outlet 20, the sealing skirt 32 is squeezed by the inner wall of the slag outlet 20, causing it to deform and fully conform to the inner wall of the slag outlet 20, thereby improving the sealing performance and avoiding the cleaning dead corners that may be caused by additional sealing grooves on the inner wall of the slag outlet 20 or the outer wall of the nail barrel 4.

[0024] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the annular baffle 3 is made of a soft material, and the surface of the annular baffle 3 on one side opposite the direction of residue discharge is flat, while the surface on the other side is an inclined surface inclined toward the center of the ring. The annular baffle 3 made of a soft material can better adapt to juice residues of different shapes and hardnesses, which makes extrusion more uniform and improves juicing efficiency. In this embodiment, the annular baffle 3 is preferably made of silicone. The inclined surface design provides a reaction force when the annular baffle 3 is deformed by the residue, allowing the annular baffle 3 to return to its original position after the extrusion force is eliminated. This makes it easier to recover than a single flat surface structure, thereby extending the service life of the annular baffle 3.

[0025] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2 , to ensure structural stability, the bottom of the rotary cover 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 12, and the end of the nail barrel 4 opposite to the annular baffle 3 is provided with a positioning slot 42 adapted to the positioning block 12. The nail barrel 4 is connected to the rotary cover 1 via the positioning slot 42 and the positioning block 12. The mutual adaptability of the positioning block 12 and the positioning slot 42 can effectively prevent the components from being misaligned or offset, which reduces the risk of the components loosening or falling off during operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the juicer. At the same time, this design allows users to easily connect and disconnect the components, while maintaining the relative simplicity of assembly and disassembly.

[0026] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the nail barrel 4 and the screw cap 1 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the nail barrel 4 and the screw cap 1 are integrally formed by ultrasonic welding to ensure that the nail barrel 4 will not fall out of the screw cap 1 due to lack of support during the assembly of the screw cap 1 to the slag outlet 20, thereby improving assembly reliability.

[0027] The rubber ring filter-free juicer assembly provided in this embodiment eliminates the need for users to spend a lot of time and energy to clean hard-to-reach areas, and enables quick disassembly and thorough cleaning of the slag discharge assembly, which not only improves the juicing efficiency, service life and maintainability, but also facilitates regular maintenance and is simple and hygienic to operate.
