The present invention relates to the technical field of juicing apparatuses, and in particular, to a juicer.
Juicers can process vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients into delicious beverages and have always been popular among people. With the improvement of people's living standards, juicers have moved from beverage shops into kitchens in countless households, becoming essential tools for improving people's lifestyles.
Users usually need to assemble the juicers before use and disassemble the juicers after use for easy cleaning and other operations. Since the existing double-squeezing juicer has two moving components, this design is relatively complicated in terms of disassembly and assembly and is very inconvenient to clean. How to reduce the complexity of disassembling and assembling the machine by an operator has always been a problem that R&D personnel in this industry have been thinking about.
A purpose of the present invention is to provide a juicer to solve a technical problem of complicated disassembly and assembly of the juicer.
To implement the above purpose, a technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: provided is a juicer, including: a main body, a material barrel, and a squeezing barrel, where the material barrel is in communication with the squeezing barrel, a cutting device is disposed in the material barrel, a screw rod is disposed in the squeezing barrel, a power unit is disposed on the main body, the power unit powers the cutting device and the screw rod, a transmission mechanism is disposed below the cutting device, the transmission mechanism is configured to connect the cutting device to the screw rod in a transmission manner, a first fitting portion is disposed below the material barrel, a second fitting portion is disposed on the main body, and the first fitting portion cooperates with the second fitting portion to enable the material barrel, the squeezing barrel, and the transmission mechanism to be separated from the main body in a first direction as a whole.
According to the juicer of the present invention, the main body and a whole formed by the squeezing barrel, the material barrel, and the transmission mechanism are disassembled and assembled together through the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. In this way, two power components only need one power transmission unit provided by the main body to be operated. In addition, the squeezing barrel, the material barrel, the transmission mechanism, and the like are cleanable units, and the main body is a non-cleanable unit. In this assembly manner, the cleanable units can be disassembled and washed simply and conveniently and assembled conveniently. The cleanable units are disassembled towards one direction to be disassembled as a whole, and disassembly, assembly, and washing may be implemented without separately disassembling the screw rod and the cutting device, thereby greatly simplifying operation steps of an operator.
Preferably, an included angle between a central axis of the cutting device and a central axis of the screw rod is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. That is, the central axes of the cutting device and the screw rod are not in the same direction, which facilitates communication of the two barrels and full utilization of space.
Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear, and the first bevel gear is engaged with the second bevel gear. Through cooperation between the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, power is transmitted between the screw rod and the cutting device. In addition, a transmission ratio is convenient to adjust, and a cleaning operation is not affected.
Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a gear and a spiral rod, and the gear is engaged with the spiral rod. The spiral rod cooperates with the gear to provide sufficient power for a component connected to the gear. In addition, the transmission mechanism is simple, facilitating the cleaning operation.
Preferably, the first direction is a lateral direction of the main body. Disassembling from the lateral direction can enable the squeezing barrel and the material barrel to directly separate from the main body from a side surface and can also prevent remaining juice from polluting the main body.
Preferably, the first direction is a vertical upward direction of the main body. The squeezing barrel and the material barrel are separated from the main body from above, so that the squeezing barrel and the material barrel can be mounted more stably and do not move as the juicer operates.
Preferably, a first locking mechanism is disposed on the main body, a second locking mechanism is disposed on the material barrel, and the first locking mechanism cooperates with the second locking mechanism to fix the main body and the material barrel. The first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism can enable the squeezing barrel and the material barrel to be firmly fixed, prevent the squeezing barrel and the material barrel from being easily separated to cause a fault, and ensure that the squeezing barrel and the material barrel are assembled in place.
Preferably, a first transmission shaft is disposed on the screw rod, and the first transmission shaft is connected to the power unit, to power the screw rod and the cutting device. The screw rod and the cutting device are connected to the power unit through one first transmission shaft, so that it can be ensured that the squeezing barrel, the material barrel, the transmission mechanism, the screw rod, and the cutting device may be disassembled as a whole by disassembling toward one direction only, and the screw rod or the cutting device does not need to be separately disassembled. In addition, the power unit directly powers the screw rod, which can also ensure a squeezing force of the screw rod, to ensure juice efficiency.
Preferably, a second transmission shaft is disposed on the cutting device, and the second transmission shaft is connected to the power unit, to power the screw rod and the cutting device. The screw rod and the cutting device are connected to the power unit through one second transmission shaft, so that it can be ensured that the squeezing barrel, the material barrel, the transmission mechanism, the screw rod, and the cutting device may be disassembled as a whole by disassembling toward one direction only, and the screw rod or the cutting device does not need to be separately disassembled. In addition, the power unit directly powers the cutting device, so that a cutting force can be ensured, thereby facilitating cutting of some difficult-to-cut materials.
Preferably, a tail end of the power unit is sealed. The power unit is sealed, so that remaining juice and cleaning water can be prevented from entering the power unit to damage the power unit. Meanwhile, the power unit only needs to be connected to one power component, so that a sealing structure is easy to implement, and a sealing effect is good.
