In other words, the user selects and mounts the mesh net 276 when he or she wants to separate the juice and the debris, and selects and installs a solid net (not shown) if he or she wants to use both the juice and the debris together. When a solid mesh (not shown) is selected, juices and debris pass through a waste flow pipe 121, a juice flow pipe 131, or a separate discharge pipe (not shown) installed to discharge juice and debris together, .

In another embodiment of the present invention, the user-selectable network may further include not only a mesh network 276 and a solid network (not shown) but also other networks having different sizes of holes of the mesh network 276.

On the upper portion of the lower portion 270 of the assembly, a plurality of connection grooves 273 into which a plurality of protrusions 253 are inserted are positioned.

It is preferable that the connection groove 273 is in the form of a triangle having a lower portion extending in the rotating direction of the screw assembly 200. The protrusion 253 moves downward along the connection groove 273 and then moves laterally to be firmly restrained. Further, the lower portion of the screw assembly 200 must extend in the direction of rotation of the screw assembly 200, so that the upper assembly 250 and the lower assembly 270 can be tightly coupled even when the screw assembly 200 rotates.

Referring to FIG. 6, the shape of the assembly upper portion 250 and the lower assembly 270 will be described in more detail.

That is, the diameter gradually increases from the upper portion to the lower portion, and narrows again in the second portion (B). The assembly lower portion 270 (C) is an inverted conical shape and continues in the second portion (B).

The overall shape of the screw assembly 200 with the assembly upper portion 250 and the lower assembly portion 270 is comprised of a conical top portion and an inverted conical bottom portion, Is located at the lower portion of the inverted conical shape (dotted line crossing the section of Fig. 6)

The reason for adopting such a structure is that the screw assembly 200 rotates in a state where the assembly upper part 250 and the assembly lower part 270 are engaged, thereby achieving a firm binding.

In the course of crushing and pressing the juice object by the interaction with the drum 100 while the screw assembly 200 is rotating, a load is applied from the upper part to the lower part of the screw assembly 200. In the inverted conical part, And the lower portion of the assembly 270 are combined with each other to minimize a load applied to the coupling surface of the upper portion 250 and the lower portion 270 of the assembly.

2. Of the master clerk 500 Explanation of operation process

Hereinafter, the operation of the master secretary 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the switch 330 of the master controller 500 is turned on and power is applied to the controller 500, the rotating member in the main body 300 is driven, and the angled shaft 310 rotates, The rotational force is transmitted to the rotating shaft 210 connected to the rotating shaft 210.

As the rotary shaft 210 rotates, the screw assembly 200 coupled to the rotary shaft 210 rotates in the drum 100, and the operation of the master cylinder 500 is started.

When the juicer 500 is operated, the object to be juiced is injected into the injection port 11 formed in the lid 10 using the injection rod 12, and the injected object reaches the screw assembly 200, 200).

The 'first mode' in which the mesh network 276 is mounted will be described. It is the case that the user wishes to separate the juice and debris like a general juicer.

The juice object injected through the injection port 11 is divided into juice and debris by the screw assembly 200 so that both the juice and the debris flow downward along the outer surface of the screw assembly 200.

When the juice reaches the mesh net 276, it passes through the mesh net 276 and flows downward from the inside of the screw assembly 200 to the second guide groove 112, the juice outlet hole 130 and the juice flow tube 131 ), And is discharged to the outside.

When the debris reaches the mesh net 276, it can not pass through the hole of the mesh net 276 and flows downward from the outer side of the screw assembly 200, thereby forming the first guide groove 111, the debris discharge hole 120, (121), and is discharged to the outside.

With this process, the juice and the scum are separated and discharged.

And a 'second mode' in which a solid network (not shown) is mounted. Unlike normal juicers, users need juice and debris together. Smoothies, milkshakes, etc., or to work on chopping garlic.

As in the first mode, the juice injected through the injection port 11 is divided into juice and debris by the screw assembly 200, and both the juice and the debris flow downward along the outer surface of the screw 250.

Since both the juice and the debris can not pass through the solid network (not shown), the first guide groove 111, the debris discharge hole 120, and the debris flow tube 121 flow downward from the outer side of the screw assembly 200 And sequentially discharged to the outside.

In another embodiment, the channel shape of the lower end of the screw assembly 200 is changed to sequentially pass through the second guide groove 112, the juice discharge hole 130, and the juice flow tube 131, It is possible.

In another embodiment, the juice and debris may be discharged through a separate discharge pipe (not shown) attached to the case where they are discharged together.
