Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, and in particular to a vegetable cutting module and a kitchen cutting and preparing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the general food processing field, some bagged foods are processed into slices or filaments and packaged for sale. When processing food manually, a kitchen knife is needed. However, due to its small size and small processing capacity, the efficiency of vegetable processing is too low, and it may hurt fingers if used carelessly. Especially when the processing volume is large, the kitchen knife is also very impractical, not only inefficient but also easy to damage, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0003] Therefore, some kitchen cutting and preparing machines have appeared on the market, such as the Chinese utility model patent "A vegetable and meat cutting machine" with patent application number CN202022010469.7 (publication number CN213107202U), which discloses a kitchen cutting and preparing machine integrating vegetable cutting and meat cutting modules.

[0004] The existing vegetable cutting module is mainly composed of a driving component and a cutting component. The driving component is used to drive the cutting component to rotate and cut the food. The cutting shape mainly depends on the design of the cutting component. For example, the Chinese utility model patent "A vegetable cutter blade cutting component and a small vegetable cutter" with patent application number CN202122205562.8 (publication number CN215743873U) discloses a cutting component with a slicing function, the Chinese utility model patent "A shredding blade" with patent application number CN202123432673.9 (publication number CN216505289U) discloses a cutting component with a shredding function, and the Chinese utility model patent "Food processor dicing component and food processor with the same" with patent application number CN201320590577.3 (publication number CN203622515U) discloses a cutting component with a dicing function.

[0005] However, for the vegetable cutting module, if you want to switch the shape of the dish, you need to replace the knife disc, and you cannot provide multiple shape options such as slicing, shredding, and dicing at the same time; in addition, for the cutting component with dicing function, first, the cutting knife moves relative to the knife net, the structure is complicated, and the cutting knife needs to cut the food and press the food down into the knife net, so the cutting knife is more likely to be damaged; second, the blade of the cutting knife extends along the radial direction of the rotating shaft, and the linear speed at each position is inconsistent, and the degree of damage is uneven.

[0006] The existing meat cutting module uses the cutting blade area principle similar to scissors to achieve meat cutting. Two cutting rods are arranged in the meat cutting machine frame. The two cutting rods rotate relative to each other, and the blades of the two cutting rods are staggered to form a cutting blade area. Multiple blades installed in parallel on the same cutting rod can achieve batch cutting of meat food with very high cutting efficiency. For details, please refer to the Chinese utility model patent "A Meat Cutting Machine" with patent application number CN201921681481.1 (publication number CN210610851U).

[0007] However, in the existing meat cutting module, the cutting knife group can only cut meat slices of one thickness. If meat slices of different thicknesses need to be cut, the traditional solution is to replace the knife groups of different specifications. However, the replacement of the knife group is very dangerous, it is easy to cut the operator, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0069] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0070] (1) By setting one of the cutter discs as a hollow structure and installing the corresponding cutter on the peripheral wall of the cutter disc, the other two cutter discs are arranged on both sides of the cutter disc and share the same second rotating shaft. On the one hand, only the second rotating shaft needs to be driven to rotate to simultaneously realize cutting operations of different specifications. On the other hand, the structure is compact and occupies little space.

In this way, when cutting, the food will first be cut into thick slices by the rotating slicing tool through the first blade, and the cut thick slices will enter the first guide section, and then enter the second guide section under the extrusion of the guide slope, and then be cut into blocks by the knife net. During this process, the first blade and the knife net will not move relative to each other, and the extrusion action is achieved under the cooperation of the inertia of the thick slice itself and the guide slope. The slicing tool has a simple structure and is not easy to be damaged;

[0072] In addition, since the inlet of the first material guide section is a strip-shaped opening extending along the axial direction of the slicing blade, the linear speed at each position of the first blade is consistent, and the damage is uniform, which can increase the service life;

[0073] (3) The blades are mounted on the first rotating shaft in a manner that allows them to move axially relative to the first rotating shaft, and two adjacent blades are connected by a hinge structure. In this way, when the user needs to cut slices of meat of different thicknesses, the hinge structure can be driven to extend or retract by adjusting the width of the gap between the blades, thereby ultimately achieving the cutting of slices of meat of different thicknesses without having to replace the blades or adjust the width of the gap between the blades, and the structure is simple.

[0111] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0112] (1) Meat cutting mode: The second driving member 75 is started to drive the second gear 72 to rotate, and the first gear 71 rotates accordingly, and then the blade 222 is driven to rotate through the first rotating shaft 221;

[0113] ① When the user needs to cut thicker slices of meat, the first driving member 2242 is activated to retract the telescopic shaft, such as Figure 5 As shown, the included angle between the first hinge arm 2231 and the second hinge arm 2232 is substantially 180°, and the width of the gap 2220 between two adjacent blades 222 is at a maximum value.

The relatively rotating blades 222 cooperate with each other and cut the meat block into meat slices, which are finally collected into the first receiving slot 81 of the receiving box 8, so that thicker meat slices can be obtained.

[0114] ② When the user needs to cut thinner slices of meat, the first driving member 2242 is activated to extend its telescopic shaft outward, pushing the blade 222 at the head to move leftward, thereby compressing the angle between the first hinge arm 2231 and the second hinge arm 2232, and driving each blade 222 to move backward in turn. Figure 6As shown, the included angle between the first hinge arm 2231 and the second hinge arm 2232 is substantially 20°, and the width of the gap 2220 between two adjacent blades 222 is at a minimum value. At this time, a piece of meat is put into the feeding port 121, and the piece of meat falls under the action of gravity. The relatively rotating blades 222 cooperate with each other and cut the piece of meat into meat slices, which are finally collected into the first receiving slot 81 of the receiving box 8, so that thinner meat slices can be obtained.

[0115] (2) Vegetable cutting mode: The second driving member 75 is started to drive the fourth gear 74 to rotate, and the third gear 73 rotates accordingly, and then the cutting assembly 4, the slicing assembly 5 and the shredding assembly 6 are driven to rotate synchronously around the axis of the second rotating shaft 40 through the second rotating shaft 40;

[0116] ① When the user needs to cut the food into pieces, the food can be put into the second feeding port 122 into the containing box 31. The food falls under the action of gravity until it contacts the cutting blade 41. The food is first cut into thick slices by the rotating cutting blade 42 through the first blade 4211. The cut thick slices enter the first guide section 421a, and then enter the second guide section 421b under the pressure of the guide slope 4212. The food is cut into blocks by the knife net 422 and enters the cavity 411. The block food in the cavity 411 finally falls through the drop hole 413 and the second discharge port 312 in sequence and is collected in the second receiving slot 82 of the receiving box 8.

[0117] ② When the user needs to slice the food, the food can be put into the third feeding port 123 into the first hopper 32. The food falls under the action of gravity until it contacts the slicing knife disc 51. The rotating slicing knife 52 cuts the food into slices through the second blade 5211. The sliced ​​food passes through the second material guide channel 521 and enters the containing box 31. Finally, it falls through the second material discharge port 312 in sequence and is collected in the second receiving slot 82 of the receiving box 8.

[0118] ③ When the user needs to cut the ingredients into shreds, the user can put the ingredients into the fourth feeding port 124 and enter the second hopper 33. The ingredients fall under the action of gravity until they come into contact with the shredding knife disc 61. The rotating shredding knife 62 cuts the ingredients into shreds through the third blade 6211 and the knife row 622. The cut shredded ingredients enter the containing box 31 through the third material guide channel 621, and finally fall through the second material discharge port 312 in sequence and are collected in the second material receiving trough 82 of the receiving box 8.
