Abstract

Disclosed herein is a juice extraction module for juice capable of fundamentally blocking the introduction of dregs which degrade a texture of food when being mixed with the juice and certainly maintaining airtightness. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a dregs blocking part which isolates between a bottom surface of a juice extraction mesh and a bottom of the container maintains airtightness to fundamentally block the introduction of dregs into the juice, thereby improving a texture of food.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A juice extraction module for juice, comprising:
a juice extraction mesh configured to accommodate a screw supplied with a driving force to rotate;
a rotating brush configured to be disposed at an outer side of the juice extraction mesh to rotate along with the screw;
a container configured to accommodate the screw, the juice extraction mesh, and a rotating brush;
a driving gear disposed below a bottom of the container, the driving gear configured to be connected to a driving shaft that is connected to the screw to supply the driving force to rotate the screw during operation, and the driving gear configured to rotate with the screw about a common axis and to transfer a brush driving force to the rotating brush;
a driving transmission assembly configured to have a lower end gear-connected with the driving gear and an upper end disposed at a bottom inside the container; and
a driven gear configured to be gear-connected with the upper end of the driving transmission assembly and be formed along an inner circumferential surface of a lower portion of the rotating brush to rotate along with the driving transmission assembly,
wherein the driving gear, the driving transmission assembly, and the driven gear are disposed to be isolated from an inner space of the juice extraction mesh, and
wherein the driving transmission assembly includes:
a lower transmission gear disposed outside of the container and configured to be gear-connected with the driving gear which is disposed below the bottom of the container;
a middle shaft configured to protrude from a central portion of the lower transmission gear to rotate while penetrating through and supported to the bottom of the container; and
an upper transmission gear disposed inside the container at an upper end of the middle shaft and configured to be gear-connected with the driven gear.

2. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hollow dregs blocking part configured to protrude to be stepped from a bottom of the juice extraction mesh and have a driving shaft penetrating through a central portion thereof,
wherein the dregs blocking part is seated with the screw.

3. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hollow dregs blocking part configured to protrude to be stepped from a bottom of the juice extraction mesh and have a central portion provided with a blocking hole through which the driving shaft penetrates;
a support part configured to have an outer circumferential surface facing an edge of the blocking hole and extend toward a bottom inside the container;
a stand part configured to be formed at the outer circumferential surface of the support part to be fixed to the blocking hole and stand a load of the support part; and
a blocking adhering part configured to extend from an edge of a lower end of the support part to have a shape deformed and have a lower end to adhere to the bottom surface inside the container to prevent dregs or juice from being leaked to the container or a main body mounted with the driving shaft.

4. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 3 , wherein the blocking adhering part includes:
a flexible upward expanding diameter sleeve configured to extend to be inclined upward along the outer circumferential surface of the lower end of the support part to have the shape deformed; and
a flexible downward expanding diameter sleeve configured to extend to be inclined downward along an edge of an upper end of the upward expanding diameter sleeve and have a shape deformed so that an edge of a lower end adheres to the bottom inside the container.

5. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 1 , further comprising:
a dregs blocking part configured to be provided with a blocking layer so that a bottom of the juice extraction mesh is isolated from a bottom of the container, a central portion of the blocking layer being provided with a hollow through which a driving shaft penetrates and an upper end of the blocking layer being provided with a dregs blocking part provided with a ring-shaped reflow prevention protrusion;
at least one juice discharge hole configured to be provided at the blocking layer of the dregs blocking part to discharge juice; and
a packing member configured to be mounted in the hollow of the dregs blocking part to adhere to an outer circumferential surface of the driving shaft so as to prevent dregs from being leaked through a portion through which the driving shaft penetrates,
wherein the dregs blocking part is seated with the screw to prevent the dregs from being leaked to the container through the bottom of the juice extraction mesh.

6. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 5 , further comprising:
a blocking adhering part configured to protrude in a concentric circle form at a lower surface of the packing member to have an end adhering to the bottom of the container.

7. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hollow dregs blocking part configured to protrude to be stepped from a bottom of the juice extraction mesh and have a driving shaft penetrating through a central portion thereof,
wherein the dregs blocking part is seated with the screw to prevent the dregs from being leaked to the container through the bottom of the juice extraction mesh.

8. The juice extraction module for juice of claim 7 , further comprising:
a screw groove configured to be depressed from the bottom of the screw to correspond to the dregs blocking part so as to adhere to the dregs blocking part.
