Abstract
An improved juice extracting machine having an upper structure inside of which is housed a gear box connected to a motor reducer assembly, a feeding cone positioned within a fruit receptacle located over the upper structure, a protector covering a front face of the upper structure and including upper cylindrical and lower prismatic heads of the motor reducer assembly, a worm positioned within the protector, a juice reservoir received under a duct of the protector, and a lower structure attached to the upper structure. The lower structure receives a container therein for receiving solid and liquid residues of the juice extracting process. A collector is positioned adjacent the worm for receiving residues of a screen associated with the protector.
Claims13
An improved juice extracting machine of the type used to extract juice for citric fruits comprising:
- an upper structure housing a gear box connected to a motor reducer assembly, said motor reducer assembly having a toothed axle engaged with a first gear, said first gear transferring a rotary movement to a second gear positioned thereabove, said second gear transferring said rotary movement by an intermediary gear to a third gear, said third gear being axially engaged with a fourth gear, said fourth gear being smaller than said third gear, said fourth gear drivingly connected to a vertically positioned pinion;
- a feeding cone positioned inside a fruit receptacle located over said upper structure, said third gear being mechanically engaged with a fifth gear, said fifth gear transmitting movement to a chain by a first toothed wheel axially engaged with said fifth gear, said chain being engaged to a second toothed wheel, said second toothed wheel mechanically connected to a worm horizontally positioned within a screen, a tightener of said chain positioned between said first toothed wheel and said second toothed wheel;
- said second and third gears drivingly connected to upper cylindrical heads aligned side by side at a front face of said gear box, said upper cylindrical heads movable in correspondence with a pair of prismatic heads arranged side by side at a plane below said upper cylindrical heads, said upper cylindrical heads and said lower prismatic heads being mechanically connected to said first, second, third and fifth gears by a set of axles which transfix the front face of the gear box;
- a protector closing a front face of the upper structure, said protector receiving said upper cylindrical heads and said lower prismatic heads and a diverter plane, a screen being positioned at a lower end of said diverter plane, said worm being positioned over said screen, said protector having a conduit formed by an inner wall, said protector having a cutout area for receiving a juice reservoir below said screen, said juice reservoir having an inclined plane therein, said reservoir having a cock attached to a front wall, said reservoir having a rear wall positioned opposite said front wall, said reservoir receiving a manually driven agitator therein, said agitator having a blade fixedly connected to a vertical rod, said rod being folded on a side of a cutout formed on a support in said reservoir, said rod having an end portion transfixing a rectangular cutout formed on said front wall of said reservoir;
- a lower structure connected to said upper structure, said lower structure having an inner compartment for receiving a container therein, said lower structure having a front gate covering said inner compartment, a pair of direction ducts received with sides of said lower structure, said direction ducts directly aligned with said conduits of said protector;
- a tray affixed to said container and said lower structure, said tray having a grid over which said juice reservoir is positioned;
- and
- a collector positioned at said worm, said collector being fixed to a lower face of said gear box, said collector having a pipe aligned with said container.
