Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable peeler. Background Art

[0002] Existing peelers have a fixed blade angle, which cannot be adjusted during peeling, making them inconvenient to use when peeling fruits or vegetables of different thicknesses. Therefore, some have designed peelers with adjustable blade angles suitable for cutting fruit or vegetable peels of varying thicknesses. For example, Chinese patent CN2091608 discloses an adjustable peeler. However, for some crops with hard outer skins, such as sugarcane (with its tough skin and numerous grains) or watermelon (with its thick and hard rind), the force required for peeling these foods is too great to be overcome by simply adjusting the blade angle. In such cases, the blade of the peeler must remain fixed. Therefore, designing a peeler with a fixed blade that allows for adjustment of the peel thickness is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing an adjustable peeler that is particularly suitable for peeling thick-skinned and hard-skinned foods and has a stable structure.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: an adjustable peeler includes a handle, a blade holder, an adjustment frame, and a blade. The adjustment frame has a stop and a pull part. The blade holder has sliding grooves on both the left and right sides. The stop of the adjustment frame has a rotating shaft at both ends that is inserted into the sliding groove. The blade holder has slots on both the left and right sides. The pull part of the adjustment frame has hooks at both ends that can be engaged in the slots. By pulling the adjustment frame, the rotating shaft slides along the sliding groove, causing the adjustment frame to move back and forth. Adjusting the gap between the stop and the blade changes the peeling thickness. By swinging the adjustment frame, the adjustment frame rotates around the rotating shaft, and the hooks engage in the slots to fix the adjustment frame in place for use.

[0005] In this utility model, the stop part adopts a stop bar and the pull part adopts a pull rod.

[0006] In this invention, the hook adopts a round shaft structure, forming a sliding structure in which the hook slides in and out along the groove.

[0007] In this invention, an arc-shaped structure is provided on the shoulder that supports the front of the card slot and the card hook. The tightness of the arc-shaped structure forms an anti-detachment structure for the card slot and the card hook.

[0008] This invention has the following advantages: the peeling thickness can be changed by adjusting the gap between the stop and the blade, while the blade remains fixed, making it particularly suitable for peeling thick and hard foods; the adjustment frame adopts a left and right double-sided sliding structure and a left and right double-sided snap-fit ​​structure, which ensures good structural stability.

[0009] The following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrate the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment is an adjustable peeler, including a handle 1, a blade holder 2, an adjusting frame 3, and a blade 4. The adjusting frame has a stop bar 5 and a pull rod 6. The blade holder has sliding grooves 7 on both the left and right sides. The left and right ends of the stop bar of the adjusting frame have rotating shafts 8 that are inserted into the sliding grooves. The left and right sides of the blade holder have locking slots 9. The left and right ends of the pull rod of the adjusting frame have locking hooks 10 that can be engaged in the locking slots. The locking hooks adopt a round shaft structure, forming a sliding structure for the locking hooks to slide in and out along the locking slots. The shoulder 11 that supports the locking hooks in front of the locking slots has an arc surface structure. The tightening of the arc surface structure forms an anti-dislodgement structure for the locking hooks. By pulling the adjusting frame, its rotating shaft slides along the sliding groove, causing the adjusting frame to move back and forth. Adjusting the gap between the stop bar and the blade changes the peeling thickness. By swinging the adjusting frame, the adjusting frame rotates around the rotating shaft, and the locking hooks engage in the locking slots to fix the adjusting frame in place for use.

[0017] In this utility model, the adjustment frame of the above embodiment preferably uses a frame structure of a stop bar, a pull bar and two side arms. Of course, it can also be made into a whole sheet structure.

[0018] The present invention, as illustrated in the above embodiment, has three card slots, but more card slots can be made as needed to meet the peeling needs of foods with different skin thicknesses.

[0019] This invention eliminates the need for screw adjustments, prevents dirt accumulation, and is easy to clean after use.
