REDUCED-SIZE CITRUS-FRUIT-SQUEEZING MACHINE

Abstract This invention is a reduced size citrus fruit juicing machine that uses sets of rotating male female drums characterized by having one sole female drum and on sole male drum with an automatically positioning blade and a retaining pendulum - turning device. These characteristics avoid having to incorporate a second set of drums into the machine since the remaining half of the fruit is turned after the cut into the following upper cavity of the female drum. In addition to maintaining the performance of similar machines of greater size, it improves hygiene conditions due to an appropriate disposition of the retaining pendulum, a ribbed opening for the fruit, a peel collector and an integrated customized juice container which are isolated from the outside, all of which make it especially attractive to hotels and restaurants that do not have much available space.
Full Text PURPOSS OF THE INVENTION
This invention is a new automatic citrus frutt juicing machine used primarily
for juicing oranges. It is smaller then those machines currently on the
market that have a juicing system based on two pairs of rotating male-
female squeezing units or drums. Nevertheless this machine produces the
same yield and furthermore offers a greater degree of hygiene. This
smaller size has been achieved by reducing the number of rotating
squeezing units from four to just two, which consist of one female
squeezing unit and one male squeezing unit. These operate using a novel
turning device - pendulum retaining unit that substitutes the function of the
second pair. The main features ensuring hygiene throughout the entire
machine are a suitable pendulum retaining unit, a ribbed feed opening for
the fruit, a peel collector and an integrated juice container, all of which are
isolated from the outside of the machine.
Currently in the restaurant and hotel industry there exists a wide range of
automatic or semiautomatic citrus fruit juicing machines that employ
different sqyeezing methods. These machines carry out their purpose to
one degree or another. The pioneers of these machines based their juicing
action on the two halves of the fruit that had been previously cut by
pressing them onto a grooved surface which would extract the liquid. An
example of this type of automatic juicing machine is Spanish patent
P8702074 of 1987. This machine would dispense chilled juice after
inserting coins. This machine's juicing system consists of loading the fruit
onto a clamp which moves along a curved enclosure equipped with a blade
so that the two halves of the fruit produced by the cut are submitted to a
ripping action of the pulp by compression and deformation against the
enclosure, thus extracting the juice.
Nevertheless, the problem with these systems is that they destroy the peels
of the fruits when they are dragged across the grooved surface, simitar to
how sandpaper works. Such action leads to albedo fluids and essential oils
from the peels mixing with the extracted juice. Furthermore, a significant
part of the juice is retained by the unwanted pulp. The end result is a loss
in yield and a low quality juice.
Later machines, such as the model registered as U9602180, squeezed the
entire fruit by compressing it against a plate that was pushed downward by
an actuating cylinder acting as a piston. The fruit was squeezed against the
surface of a vessel or container which had the dual purpose of holding the
fruit during squeezing and of collecting the juice that had been extracted.
In this other type of system, the above problem is not solved either.
Although there is no violent ripping action against an enclosure or grooved
surface, the force of compression against the orange itself aiso affects its
peel which is squeezed atong with the rest of the fruit.
Since this was a known problem, more sophisticated systems began to be
developed in which the juicing action on the fruits would not affect the
peels. This is to say that the goal was to create a machine in which the
waste created would be the entire peel, free of pulp and juice.
One solution was the use of suction in the juicing systems. One example of
such a machine is the model registered under U9900512. This machine has
a system based on a drum with a series of cavities. Each cavity allows the
fruit encased within it to be cut in half by a blade moving atong the
perimeter of the drum. The halves are then subjected to a suction process
by an arm with a male perforating end which, by compression, acts upon
the half of the fruit encased in the cavity of the female drum. Ail of this
occurs without coming into contact with the peel; the juice is extracted by
the male perferating part with a suction pump and passes through a conduit
designed especially for this function.
Nevertheless, these systems are not free of problems either. The sucking
action does not achieve a complete extraction of the juice and afterwards
the juice must be put through filtering systems and separators for the air
and pulp carried within the juice. Additionally, the juice often contains
impurities and suspended particles.
Among the range of citrus fruit juicing machine systems on the market
today, the One which is clearly the best and most common because it
effectively addresses the problems mentioned above, as well as producing a
high yield, is the system in the two machines patented by the company that
is currently applying for the new patent presented here.
The known juicing system of these machines (Spanish patents with
application numbers P6800970 and P9101254) is based on a set of two
pairs of rotating cylinders or drums, the upper two of which are female and
equipped with four semispherical cavities and two lower male drums. The
male drums have three finished arms with bell-shaped heads. When a
piece of fruit falls into a cavity of the female drum, the opposing rotational
movement of the drum adjacent to the fruit is retained and moved between
both towards the blade located below, which cuts the fruit into two halves.
Immediately alter leaving the base of the blade, which is angled above the
fruit, each naif will be squeezed by the corresponding arms of the two male
drums which embed themselves into each half resulting in a complete and
clean extraction of the juice. After the extraction, the juice passes through
a filter and is collected into a container while the peels pressed against the
male pieces will fall into a collecting bin with the help of an extracting
wedge.
Currently this is the best serial juicing system. It is hygienic, economic,
offers high yield, and is suitable for bars, cafeterias, schools, hospitals and
the like. Nevertheless, as the units based on this system resuine four
drums or cylinders, their frames will be of considerable size and take up
much space in these businesses. These businesses do not always have a lot
of space which may negatively influence their decisions regarding the
installation of these machines. The reality of the situation is that the
current market lacks small automatic machines made for the hotel and
restaurant industry (household use is a different matter where practically
the entire process is manual, barring the squeezing step). This is especially
true for automatic machines with the same features that the male and
female rotating drum system uses. For example, there is a patented
reduced size machine (application P9800682) that uses a compression
based juicing system. It has a drum equipped with a blade and
compression blade that cuts the fruit and immediately squeezes it against
its sides. Nevertheless, this system poses the problems mentioned above:
excess pulp with residual juice and fluids from the peels that mix into the
extracted juice.
There is a smaller machine in existence that has been patented which uses
a system inspired by the rnaie-female rotating drum idea. The inventor has
managed to reduce its size by replacing the second pair of drums with a
fruit carrier that occupies the space that a third cylinder would have taken
up. Thus, disappointingly, the size of the machine is reduced only
minimally.
The ideal situation would be to have a machine with the same level of
operability as those with two pairs of mate-female drums, but with only one
such pair of drums. This means that there would be only one rotating male
drum and only one rotating female drum. Such a system would be possible
If the machine integrated a complementary system which would effectively
provide the functionality of the second pair of drums. In this way, the size
of he machine would be reduced to almost half and offer the same yield.
This is precisely what the invention in question offers. It is an automatic
juicing machine for oranges and similar fruits that has a juicing system
based on a set of male-female rotating drums. This machine has a gravity
feed ramp, a casing with a protective front cover that encloses the frame
that supports the ramp and serves as a support for the motor and other
mechanisms and parts. Among the more important of these include the
cutting blade, the male and female rotating drums with their corresponding
cavities and arms used for holding, guiding and squeezing the fruit, the
filter, the base where juice and peels are collected and the peei extracting
wedge.
The essential characteristic of this machine is that it has one sole male and
one sole female drum. This reduces the size of the machine considerably.
This system employs one retainer pendulum with the dual function of
allowing the fruits to retch the female drum at the right moment and of
holding them secure to allow cutting by the automatically positioned blade.
This blade, together with a triangular cutting part guides the haif of the fruit
retained in the cavity of the female drum until it comes into contact with an
arm of the male drum which then squeezes the fruit due to its rotating
action. This together with the retaining pendulum is the essence of the
system that has eliminated the need for having a second set of drums. The
remaining helf of the fruit after the cut will turn into the proper position in
order to sit in a cavity of the female drum at the same time. Its upward
movement opens the way for a new fruit which falls into the next free
cavity, thus starting the squeezing sequence over again.
The system further incorporates a feeder with a fruit detection system that
allows the machine to start automatically and prevents jamming. The
machine has a fruit counting system, a peei collector, an anti-drip tray and
an integrated juice container at the base of the machine which, together
with a deck equipped with a guiding wing, isolate the juice from
contaminating particles and extraneous material.
With the male drum - female drum - turning device - retaining pendulum
system described above, the two halves resulting from the cut of each fruit
are squeezed sequentially rather than simultaneously as occurs with prior
juicing machines. In order to achieve this, alt action in the machine is
powered by only one motor with its simultaneous kinematic gear
movement. The motor actuates the male and female rotating drums as well
as a cam positioned at the perimeter which, when rotated, activates and
deactivates a rocker arm and guided counterweight, thus raising and
lowering the rotating piece. The result of this is the positioning of the fruit
into an upper cavity of the female drum, and at the same time pushes the
retaining pendulum. This in turn actuates the dispenser allowing the next
fruit to enter the system. The upward movement of the turning device is
caused by the guided counterweight and the downward movement by the
cam-actuated rocker arm. Both transfers in both rotor directions are guided
by flexible belts for preventing possible tearing from imperfect processing.
The blade is integrated into the turning shaft and thus is synchronized and
automatical positioned with the female drum in preparation for the cut.
The Wade is straight with the cut starting in the center at a slight angle so
that the two halves of the fruit will be virtually the same size. The blade
has the dual purpose of both cutting the fruit and, together with the
triangular cutting piece located below it, guiding the half towards the arm of
the mate drum.
The female drum has deeper cavities than those in previous machines.
These deeper cavities more effectively surround and secure the half of the
fruit thus Increasing the yield of the juicing process and reducing splatter.
Furthermore, the machine has an undercutting operability which allows the
blade to give a totter and cleaner cut. The mate drum has an opening in the
center of the shells so that the lever of the extracting wedge can pass
through, thus allowing the peels to reach the storage container.
The frame of the machine consists of a single plastic die-cast housing piece.
It has a stainless steel front and an "8-shaped" metal bearings support. It
is strong enough to withstand the force of the squeezing process. This is
one sole part that secures and supports all of the other parts with a
rerouting channel so that the juice will pour into the tray. It also has an
integrated fruit feed system. This differentiates this machine from ail of the
other juicing machines that have open feed systems. This invention
presents the novel idea of a closed system that prevents insects and
contamination from entering, thus offering a greater degree of hygiene.
The feeder has an exterior ramp with two rails for guiding the fruit. The
end of this feeder has a fruit detection system. It further has a housing
with a cylindrical dispenser, a slightly eccentric axis, magnetic clutch and
flexible transmission in the connection with the rocker arm and a ribbed
output aperture towards the female drum which isolates the juicing area
from the outside.
The fruit detection system allows the machine to start automatically and
count the number of pieces of fruit. It turns every one of these, thus
preventing jamming ami stops the machine when no more oranges are
ready to be juiced. The frame of the machine has an opening at the height
of the peel extracting wedge so that the peels will fall into the peei collector.
The surface above from where the juice falls has a flange and a slope that is
adequate for good circulation from the tray. An anti-drip system and
collecting container are integrated into the tray.
The lower base support of the machine has a U-shaped perimeter which
houses a lost liquid collecting tray. The lower part of this flange is equipped
with a grip strip which is located between the machine and the bar or table
where the machine rests, thus preventing contamination and unwanted
materials from entering. In addition, the base has integrated handles which
makes moving the machine easy.
The custom peel collector that is integrated into the machine has a marked
removal area in its lower part which coincides with the U-shaped flange of
the perimeter along the base. This allows for the controlled removal of the
tray without using any tools and allows it to easily adapted for backers or
for using a peel collecting bin. It also has a peel deflector, which is a ramp
that distributes the peels more evenly as they fat) so that the space is better
used. They are guided towards the mouth of the output aperture in the
case that the collector is used with its perforated base.
The juice tray has an anti-drip device with a spigot and may be actuated
automatically by positioning the container on its lower part (when the
container is positioned here the system is actuated and when it is removed
it ceases its activity). The device can also be used manually by using the
hand for actuation. The anti-drip has a control button mechanism that
when pressed causes the piston to move downward thus allowing the liquid
to begin flowing. The peel collector and the juice container are parts which
are integrated into the design of the machine and isolated from
contaminating particles and extraneous substances. This is a novelty in
juicing machines used in the hotel and restaurant business. It is also a
novelty in thet there is the dual possibility of actuating the anti-drip spigot
both manually and automatically by positioning a container at the proper
place.
The cover of the machine is made up of two parts, one of which is
translucent and the other transparent. This cover gives the machine a
novel appearance in that in its lower part there is a wing that routs the juice
to the tray. The cover prevents dripping even when it is open.
All of these novelties that this invention offers means that its overall
advantage is that its performance is as good as any machine currently
offered on the market that uses two pairs of rotating male and female
drums but with a much smaller size. This advantage makes it especially
attractive for hotels and restaurants that do not have a lot of available
space.
Additionally, the system has the same high standard of hygiene as it does
for its operability. This is not just because the retaining pendulum prevents
contact between the peel and rotating piece during the cut (which encases
one of the two halves of the fruit on the pulp side) but also because of the ribbed
opening of the feeder, which isolates the inside of the machine and prevents
contamination and insects from entering. Further, this high standard is a result of the
peel collector and juice container being integrated into the base, both of which close off
access of extraneous material.
In order to have the make-up and operation of the reduced size juicing machine under
consideration more clearly understood an example of its operation is offered below along

Figure 10 shows the machine with the cover open (33) where the lost liquid
collecting tray (31) is set in its operational position, the rupture area of the
peel coilector (21) and the handles (32) that are latecreated into base
Other pieces that can be seen in the interior part of the cover include the
routing wing (34) that routes the juice to the tray.
The juicing machine has a frame that serves as its skeleton. This frame
supports the feed ramp, the motor and the different mechanisms and parts.
Among the more outstanding novel parts are the rerouter (20) for the
excess juice that falls to the tray and the fruit detection system (21).
The back part of the frame has the mechanisms that allow the operation of
the parts that carry out the juicing process, which are located between the
front of the machine and the protective cover.
The control system consists of an operations button that includes ail of the
functions, integrated detectors in the circuitry and a display that gives
informational messages. The latter of these is a novelty in juicing machines
for hotels and restaurants.
The machine has automatic multivoltage electrical power which allows it to
be connected in any part of the world without art adapter, which also is a
novelty. Additionally, the machine has a socket for autonomous alternating
24 V current which allows it to work on battery power.
A feed ramp (1) is located in the frame which holds the fruits which will fall
into the juicing system, one by one, due to the force of gravity, while the
dispenser (15) allows them to pass. When this system at the end of the
feeder receives the first piece of fruit, the rocker arm and magnetic grip are
actuated by the clutch magnets, which may be either mono or multipolar;
this changes position of the dispenser by turning around its shaft and
prevents the second piece from entering. Meanwhile the first piece exits
towards the interior of the machine through the ribbed opening (16) which
is opened dye to the turning action of the dispenser and is then deposited
into the corresponding cavity of the female drum.
The juicing system is composed of one sole female rotating drum (3) with
several cavities and one sole male rotating drum (5) with several arms with
ball shaped ends. Replacing the action of the second pair of drums is a
turning device (6) that operates in combination with the retaining pendulum
(2).
The shafts of the drums have a fast shutdown and do not need threaded
parts. These are seated with a special customized retaining piece. It is
easy to set up and clean since the geometry of the retainer prevents small
angles. Once the fruit is encased in the first cavity of the female drum (3)
that it encounters alter falling from the feeder, the clockwise rotating
movement guides it towards the cutting blade (4) where it is cut into two
halves. During this process the pendulum (2) secures the fruit on the side
opposite the drum which results in a symmetrical cut. Once the fruit has
been cut, one of the two halves remains in the cavity of the rotating female
drum (3) where It is moved with the help of the base part of the cutting
blade (4) which prevents it from falling out. The half then comes into
contact with one of the arms of the male rotating drum (5) which is rotating
in the opposite direction thus squeezing the fruit half that is secured in the
cavity of thefemale drum. The Juice is squeezed out by plugging the end of
the male drum's arm into the cavity with a cupping action. The other half of
the fruit is petitioned into the turning device (6) on its pulp side and at the
right moment (when the rocker arm is freed up by the cam) it is turned into
the following upper cavity of the female drum, being turned just enough to
be properly placed into the cavity.
As the half is being raised, the turning device (6) pushes the retaining
pendulum (2) and allows a new fruit to enter into the system by falling into
the free cavity of the rotating female drum, therefore the sequence to start
over again.
Thus, the pendulum has a dual purpose in this new machine: it allows fruits
to pass into the system once the juicing sequence base begun, and secondly
it secures the fruits so that they will be cut correctly, ensuring that the fruit
does not came into contact with the turning device so that it will remain
dean.
The two helves of the fruit are squeezed sequentially due to the action of
the male and female drums. The juice is extracted into the tray, which is
equipped with a filter in order to prevent seeds and large pieces of pulp
from remaining in the juice.
If the juice collecting container is attached to the anti-drip device, it
remains in the open position and the juice is directly collected into the
container that is located at the base of the machine and below the tray.
When the container is removed, the anti-chip device is automatically closed.
This device may also be actuated manually by simpiy pressing its control
button (24).
The extracting wedge, which is a flap that passes through the center
opening (9) of the she to of the male drum, removes the peels adhering to it
into the peel collecting container.
The shafts of the male and fiemaie drums on their free ends have a
geometrical shape. The edges of these ends have a series of grooves that,
when the butt is Inserted into one of them, they are secured by adhering to
these groves since these butts have protuberances on their internal face.
This avoids having to use nuts and makes setting up and taking apart the
drums easier, which in turn makes cleaning easier.
