Description
The present invention relates to a stock extractor, and more particularly, to a stock extractor capable of ensuring productivity, assemblability, binding force, cleanliness, ease of washing, and life extension.
Generally, a stock extractor is known as a juicer or a pulverizer for extracting a stock solution (juice) by pulverizing fruits or vegetables.
An object of the present invention is to be easy to use every corner to wash the housing with a cleaning tool such as a scrubber when you want to wash the housing is not only convenient to use, there is no room for residue or undiluted solution, etc. can always maintain hygiene and cleanliness. To provide a stock extractor.
An object of the present invention is to simplify the bottom of the housing to the flat portion and the inclined portion to ensure the productivity by requiring less raw materials when manufacturing the housing, and the design of the mold for manufacturing the housing is also simple to improve the production efficiency It is to provide a stock solution extractor that can greatly improve.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a undiluted solution extractor that can be easily combined with the key groove of the housing and the keys of the friction net to be combined with each other, while the rotation of the friction net can be thoroughly prevented, but the assembly structure can be further simplified to maximize the assembly. Is in.
An object of the present invention is to provide a undiluted solution extractor which is simple and more hygienic by the housing and the friction net are assembled by a simple combination of the key groove and the key, and furthermore, the assembly itself can be extremely easily implemented and more firmly coupled and fixed.
An object of the present invention is that the lower end of the rotating brush is supported on the support jaw rotated so that the undiluted solution is freely lowered to the portion without the support jaw can easily escape to the undiluted outlet, the lower part of the rotating brush on the support jaw It is rotated while being able to minimize the frictional load to provide a stock solution extractor that can greatly reduce the burden on the rotation of the motor.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a flat portion at the bottom center of the housing and to form a donut-shaped hollow portion at the bottom of the screw of the screw bundle, which not only makes it lighter but also reduces the consumption of raw materials for manufacturing the screw bundle. It is to provide a stock extractor that can improve the productivity even more.
It is an object of the present invention that the key of the friction net is fitted into the key groove of the housing and the reference jaw of the friction net is matched to the residue outlet, thereby further maximizing the coupling force between the friction net and the housing, and further friction by the reference jaw. It is to provide a stock solution extractor that can be more precisely in place when the mesh is fitted to the housing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a cutter made of stainless steel at the beginning of the spiral blade to not only quickly and easily crush fruits or vegetables fed into the upper slot, but also to minimize the load that can be applied to the motor, thereby reducing its lifespan. It is possible to ensure, and in particular to provide a stock extractor that can greatly reduce the wear phenomenon of the start of the spiral blade.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a stock extractor capable of further improving assembly or holding force by screwing or inserting a cutter made of stainless steel.
According to an aspect of the present invention,
A main body having a motor with a main shaft,
A lid having an upper slot and an upper shaft groove,
A lower shaft hole erected between the main body and the lid and fitted with a packing, and having a flat portion along the periphery of the lower shaft hole, and having a slope toward the edge from the flat portion again, the waste discharge port and the stock solution outlet portion A housing having a key groove along a boundary of the flat portion and the inclined portion;
A friction net upright in the housing having a central bundle hole and a peripheral dregs discharge hole at a bottom thereof with a key fitted to the key groove;
And a screw bundle having a screw seated in the central bundle hole while the other end is inserted into the upper shaft groove and has a sub shaft having one end fitted with the main shaft via the lower shaft hole. The basic features of the technical configuration.
According to the present invention, the bottom of the housing is simply formed with a flat portion and an inclined portion, so that when cleaning the housing, it can be easily wiped every corner with a cleaning tool such as a scrubber, which is convenient to use and there is no room for residue or undiluted solution. There is no effect that can always maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
According to the present invention, when the bottom of the housing is made of a flat portion and a slanted portion, the raw material is relatively less than that of the first application when the housing is manufactured, thereby ensuring productivity, and the design of a mold for manufacturing the housing is also simple. Thus, the production efficiency can be greatly improved.
According to the present invention, the key grooves of the housing and the keys of the friction nets are simply combined with each other, so that the rotation of the friction nets can be thoroughly prevented, but the assembly thereof can be more simplified, thereby maximizing the assembly.
According to the present invention, since the housing and the friction net are assembled by the simple combination of the key groove and the key, the waterproof cylinder or circular mandrel guide jaw of the first electoral source and the waterproof cylinder or guide jaw of the second electoral source or the pressure exhaust path are unnecessary. It is simpler and more hygienic, and furthermore, the assembly itself is simpler and more robust.
The present invention is the rotation of the sub-shaft matched to the main shaft of the motor when the screw bundle is rotated, the drive gear protruding from the bottom of the screw is rotated together, such a rotational force to rotate the driven gear while rotating the intermediate gear The rotating brush is rotated, and by rotating the rotating brush, the outer periphery of the friction net and the inner periphery of the housing can be swept to the wings so that the fiber extracted from the fruit or vegetable can be easily discharged to the waste outlet. On the contrary, the raw liquid extracted from the fruit or vegetable, etc., penetrates into the lower portion by gravity and easily passes through the inclined portion to the raw liquid discharge port.
The present invention is rotated while the lower end of the rotating brush is supported on the support jaw so that the undiluted solution is freely lowered to the portion without the support jaw to exit the undiluted solution outlet, the lower end of the rotating brush on the support jaw is rotated partially The frictional load is also minimized, thereby reducing the burden on the rotation of the motor.
The present invention can be made lighter by providing a flat portion at the bottom center of the housing and forming a donut-shaped hollow portion at the bottom of the screw of the screw bundle, as well as reducing the consumption of raw materials for manufacturing the screw bundle, thereby greatly increasing productivity. There is an effect that can be improved.
According to the present invention, the key of the friction net is fitted into the key groove of the housing, and the reference jaw of the friction net is matched with the residue outlet, thereby further maximizing the coupling force between the friction net and the housing, and further, the structure of the key and the standard of the other shape. When the friction net is fitted to the housing by the jaws, there is an effect that the position can be more accurately adjusted.
The present invention is equipped with a cutter made of stainless steel at the beginning of the spiral blade to not only quickly and easily crush the fruits or vegetables introduced into the upper slot, but also to minimize the load on the motor to ensure its lifespan In particular, there is an effect that can greatly reduce the wear phenomenon of the beginning of the spiral blade.
The present invention has an effect of further improving the assembly or holding force by screw or insert injection of a cutter made of stainless steel.
