[0052] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, an embodiment of the present application provides a food cutter 100. The food cutter 100 includes a knife seat 31 and a tray structure 60. The knife seat 31 includes a main body 311 and a receiving part 313 extending from the main body 311, and the receiving part 313 includes a side wall 3131. The tray structure 60 includes a tray 61 for carrying food, a lifting component 63 and a dragging component 65. The lifting component 63 includes a supporting component 631, a lifting component 633 and a supporting component 635. The supporting component 631 is installed on the receiving component 313, the lifting component 633 is installed on the supporting component 631, and the supporting component 635 is installed on the top of the lifting component 633 and is used to support the tray 61. The dragging component 65 passes through the side wall 3131 and is connected to the supporting component 635. When the dragging component 65 slides along the first direction (X1 / X2), the height of the supporting component 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) changes to drive the lifting component 633 and the tray 61 to move along the second direction (Z1 / Z2). The first direction (X1 / X2) is different from the second direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0053] In one example, the first direction (X1 / X2) is perpendicular to the second direction (Z1 / Z2). For example, the first direction (X1 / X2) is the length of the food cutter 100, and the second direction (Z1 / Z2) is the height of the food cutter 100. In other examples, as long as the first direction (X1 / X2) and the second direction (Z1 / Z2) intersect, the angle between them can be any angle between (0° and 180°), for example, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 100°, 115°, 120°, or 135°, etc.
[0054] In some embodiments, when the dragging assembly 65 slides in the positive direction X1 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the supporting member 635 descends in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) to drive the lifting member 633 and the tray 61 to descend in the second direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, the lifting member 633 and the tray 61 move in the opposite direction Z2 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2); when the dragging assembly 65 slides in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the supporting member 635 rises in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) to drive the lifting member 633 and the tray 61 to rise in the second direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, the lifting member 633 and the tray 61 move in the positive direction Z1 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0055] In the tray structure 60 of the food cutter 100 of the present application, the dragging component 65 is used to slide along the first direction (X1 / X2), and the dragging component 65 is connected to the supporting component 635, so that the height of the supporting component 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby driving the lifting component 633 and the tray 61 to move along the second direction (Z1 / Z2). As a result, the food cutter 100 can cut the food carried on the tray 61 into different thicknesses without changing the cutter, which is simple to operate and improves cutting efficiency.
[0056] The food cutter 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The food cutting machine 100 includes a frame 10, a feeding structure 20, a knife group structure 30, a tray structure 60 and a driving structure 80. The feeding structure 20, the knife group structure 30, the tray structure 60 and the driving structure 80 are all arranged on the frame 10. The feeding structure 20 is used to feed food. The tray structure 60 is used to carry the food fed from the feeding structure 20 and can adjust the height in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). The knife group structure 30 can reciprocate along the first direction (X1 / X2) on the frame 10 to cut the food carried on the tray structure 60. When the height of the tray structure 60 is adjusted, the knife group structure 30 can cut the food into different thicknesses. The driving structure 80 is used to drive the knife group structure 30 to reciprocate along the first direction (X1 / X2) on the frame 10.
[0058] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a carrier 11 and a guide roller 13. The carrier 11 can be in the shape of a flat plate or a platform, which is not limited here. The carrier 11 includes a first side 111 and a second side 113 opposite to each other. When the frame 10 is placed on the ground, the first side 111 of the carrier 11 is closer to the ground than the second side 113 of the carrier 11. The carrier 11 is also provided with a through-hole 115, which passes through the first side 111 of the carrier 11 and the second side 113 of the carrier 11. The feeding structure 20 is located on the second side 113 of the carrier 11, and the knife group structure 30 and the tray structure 60 are located on the first side 111 of the carrier 11. A portion of the driving structure 80 is located on the first side 111 of the carrier 11, and a portion is located on the second side 113 of the carrier 11. The guide roller 13 is provided on the first side 111 of the carrier 11, and the guide roller 13 is inclined relative to the first side 111 of the carrier 11. For details, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The guide roller 13 has a central axis MM1, and the angle between the central axis MM1 and the first side 111 of the carrier 11 is an acute angle or an obtuse angle. More specifically, the guide roller 13 includes a first surface 131, a second surface 133, and a peripheral surface 135 connecting the first surface 131 and the second surface 133. In the embodiment of the present application, the first surface 131 and the second surface 133 are parallel, the central axis MM1 is perpendicular to the first surface 131 and the second surface 133, and the first surface 131 forms an acute angle or an obtuse angle with the first side 111 of the carrier 11. When the guide roller 13 is tilted relative to the first side 111 of the carrier 11, both the first surface 131 and the second surface 133 are tilted relative to the first side 111 of the carrier 11.
[0059] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the frame 10 may further include a support member 15 connected to the carrier 11. The support member 15 extends from both ends of the first side 111 of the carrier 11 in a direction away from the first side 111 of the carrier 11, and is used to support the carrier 11. The carrier 11 and the support member 15 together form an accommodating space 110, and the knife group structure 30, the tray structure 60 and the drive structure 80 are all located in the accommodating space 110. On the one hand, the provision of the support member 15 can adapt to the height of the operator, facilitate operation, and provide installation space for other devices (such as the knife group structure 30 and the tray structure 60). On the other hand, it can prevent the devices on the first side 111 of the carrier 11 from directly contacting the ground, causing uncleanness or damage due to moisture.
[0060] Please refer again Figure 2 In some embodiments, the frame 10 may further include a mounting base 17, through which the guide roller 13 is mounted on the first side 111 of the support member 11. In one example, the length of the mounting base 17 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the distance between the guide roller 13 and the first side 111 of the support member 11, thereby facilitating installation of the blade assembly structure 30 by different operators. In another example, the mounting base 17 is removable, thereby allowing the guide roller 13 to be removed along with it. Therefore, if the guide roller 13 is damaged, it can be easily replaced without having to replace the entire food cutter 100, thus saving costs.
[0061] See also Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the frame 10 may further include a fixing seat 17 and a mounting member 18. The mounting member 18 is detachably mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier 11. The driving structure 80 is passed through the carrier 11 and the mounting member 18 and is connected to the knife group structure 30 to drive the knife group structure 30 to slide relative to the carrier 11 along the first direction (X1 / X2). The fixing seat 17 can be installed on the side of the mounting member 18 away from the carrier 11, and two fixing seats 17 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting member 18.
[0062] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 includes a feeding piece 21 for receiving food, and the feeding piece 21 is provided with a feeding port 211 for feeding food. The feeding piece 21 is used to receive food, so that the user does not need to hold the food in his hand and insert it into the feeding port 211 for cutting, thereby ensuring cutting safety. The perforation 115 of the carrier 11 corresponds to the feeding port 211, so that the food fed into the feeding piece 21 from the feeding port 211 can fall from the perforation 115 onto the tray 61. In some embodiments, there can be multiple feeding pieces 21, and each feeding piece 21 is provided with a feeding port 211. The provision of multiple feeding pieces 21 enables the food cutter 100 to simultaneously cut multiple portions of food fed from multiple feeding ports 211. The relationship between the feeding port 211 and the perforation 115 can be one-to-one or many-to-one. For example, one feeding port 211 can correspond to one perforation 115; or multiple feeding ports 211 can correspond to one perforation 115.
[0063] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the knife assembly structure 30 includes a knife holder 31, a first knife 33, and a second knife 35. The knife holder 31 can be slidably mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier 11. The first knife 33 and the second knife 35 are both mounted on the knife holder 31 to cut food on the tray 61. The first knife 33 and the second knife 35 have different cutting modes on the food.
[0064] Specifically, please combine Figure 3 The blade holder 31 has a first side 312 and a second side 314 opposite to each other, and includes a body 311 , a receiving member 313 and a loading member 315 . The receiving member 313 and the loading member 315 are both mounted on the body 311 .
[0065] In some embodiments, the main body 311 defines a receiving notch 3111 , and the receiving member 313 extends from an edge (periphery) of the receiving notch 3111 toward a direction away from the first side 111 of the carrier 11 .
[0066] See also Figures 2 to 5In some embodiments, guide rails 317 that cooperate with the guide rollers 13 are respectively provided on the first side 312 and the second side 314 of the blade holder 31. Specifically, guide rails 317 that cooperate with the guide rollers 13 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the body 311. The guide rails 317 extend along a first direction (X1 / X2). The guide rollers 13 on the first side 111 of the carrier 11 cooperate with the guide rails 317 on the first side 312 and the second side 314 of the blade holder 31, respectively, so that the blade assembly structure 30 can be slidably mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier 11. Specifically, the guide rails 317 include a guide surface 3171, a first protrusion 3173, and a second protrusion 3175. The guide surface 3171 is inclined relative to the first side 111 of the carrier 11, and the first protrusion 3173 and the second protrusion 3175 extend from the guide surface 3171 in a direction away from the receiving portion 313. When the guide roller 13 is installed in the guide rail 317, the guide surface 3171 contacts the circumferential surface 135 of the guide roller 13, the first protrusion 3173 contacts the first surface 131, and the second protrusion 3175 contacts the second surface 133. When the cutting tool assembly 30 reciprocates along the first direction (X1 / X2) on the frame 10, the guide roller 13 rolls in the guide rail 317, and different positions of the circumferential surface 135 contact the guide surface 3171. The first protrusion 3173 and the second protrusion 3175 together restrain the guide roller 13 and prevent it from falling out of the guide rail 317. Since the guide surface 3171 of the guide rail 317 is inclined relative to the first side 111 of the carrier 11, the guide roller 13 is inclinedly matched with the guide rail 317. Compared with the traditional vertical matching (the central axis MM1 of the guide roller 13 is perpendicular to the first side 111 of the carrier 11), the knife seat 31 of the present application slides more stably on the frame 10 and will not jump (move up and down) in the second direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby making the shape of the cut food better.
[0067] In one embodiment, there are two guide rails 317, one on each of opposite sides of the body 311. There are four guide rollers 13, and one guide rail 317 slidably cooperates with two guide rollers 13 disposed on one side of the carrier 11 to slide the blade assembly 30 onto the carrier 11. Of course, the number of guide rails 317 and guide rollers 13 is not limited to one for two; a one for multiple relationship is also possible, and this is not a limitation here.
[0068] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the receiving component 313 includes a side wall 3131 and a bottom wall 3133. The bottom wall 3133 can be used to support the tray structure 60. The side wall 3131 and the bottom wall 3133 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 3130. The tray structure 60 is at least partially located in the receiving cavity 3130.
[0069] In some embodiments, the receiving member 313 includes a first end 3135 and a second end 3137 that are opposite and both open. The loading member 315 is mounted on the body 311 and is located in the receiving notch 3111. The loading member 315 is opposite to the first end 3135 of the receiving member 313. The second cutter 35 is mounted on the loading member 315. The first cutter 33 is mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving member 313 and is spaced apart from the second cutter 35. The first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 are both used to cut food on the tray 61. The first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 have different cutting forms. For example, the first cutter 33 cuts food into strips, and the second cutter 35 cuts food into slices. In one example, the second cutter 35 can be mounted on the loading member 315 by a non-detachable mounting method such as welding, riveting, or gluing. This ensures the stability of the second cutter 35 and prevents it from falling off when cutting food. In another example, the second cutter 35 can be mounted on the carrier 315 using a detachable mounting method such as screws or a snap-fit. This allows the second cutter 35 to be easily removed for sharpening or replacement if the second cutter 35 becomes blunt. Similarly, in one example, the first cutter 33 can be mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving component 313 using a non-detachable mounting method such as welding, riveting, or gluing. This ensures the stability of the first cutter 33 and prevents it from falling off during cutting. In another example, the first cutter 33 can be mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving component 313 using a detachable mounting method such as screws or a snap-fit. This allows the first cutter 33 to be easily removed for sharpening or replacement if the first cutter 33 becomes blunt.
[0070] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first knife 33 includes a vertical knife assembly 331 and a plurality of knife groups 333 for cutting food. The vertical knife assembly 331 is disposed at the first end 3135 of the receiving component 313. The knife groups 333 are disposed on the vertical knife assembly 331. The plurality of knife groups 333 have multiple cutting gears for cutting food and the plurality of knife groups 333 have multiple different cutting calibers, each cutting gear corresponding to a cutting caliber. When the vertical knife assembly 331 is pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the receiving component 313, it can rotate and drive the knife groups 333 to rotate, thereby switching the knife groups 333 for cutting food to the corresponding cutting gear.
[0071] The first knife 33 of the embodiment of the present application has multiple knife groups 333 with different cutting calibers. When the vertical knife assembly 331 is pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the receiving part 313, the vertical knife assembly 331 can rotate, thereby driving the knife group 333 to rotate to switch the cutting gear of the knife group 333, thereby realizing the selection of different knife groups 333 to cut food according to the type of food.
[0072] Please combine Figure 8 In some embodiments, each blade assembly 333 includes a plurality of blades 335 spaced apart from each other, and the blades 335 of different blade assemblies 333 have different densities. The blades 335 of different densities correspond to different cutting calibers, for example, the cutting calibers include a first cutting caliber, a second cutting caliber, and a third cutting caliber.
[0073] See also Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the vertical blade assembly 331 includes an assembly part 3311, a mounting rod 3313, an operating member 3315 and an elastic member (not shown). The assembly part 3311 is mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving part 313. The mounting rod 3313 passes through and is fixed to the assembly part 3311, and the blade 335 is mounted on the mounting rod 3313. The operating member 3315 is connected to the assembly part 3311 and can be exposed from the side wall 3131 of the receiving part 313, for an operator to hold so as to be pulled outward or pressed inward. The elastic member is arranged between the assembly part 3311 and the operating member 3315, and is used to provide elastic force when the operating member 3315 is pulled outward or pressed inward, and the elastic member is used to reset the operating member 3315.
[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments, the receiving component 313 includes two opposing sidewalls 3131, each of which has a through-hole 31311. The assembly member 3311 is mounted in the through-hole 31311. In one embodiment, the assembly member 3311 includes two, each of which is respectively inserted through the through-hole 31311 of the sidewalls 3131 of the receiving component 313 to mount the vertical blade assembly 331 to the sidewall 3131 of the receiving component 313.
[0075] In some embodiments, multiple blade assemblies 333 are mounted on the mounting rod 3313. The number of mounting rods 3313 can be adjusted based on actual design requirements. In one embodiment, there is a single mounting rod 3313, and multiple blade assemblies 333 are mounted on the single mounting rod 3313. This allows for switching blade assemblies 333 with different cutting effects while simplifying the manufacturing process of the vertical blade assembly 331. In another embodiment, there are two mounting rods 3313, and multiple blade assemblies 333 are mounted on separate mounting rods 3313. This strengthens the mounting rods 3313, thereby increasing the firmness of the blade assemblies 333, reducing the degree of shaking of the blade assemblies 333 when cutting food, and thus enhancing the stability of the blade assemblies 333 when cutting food.
[0076] In some embodiments, the operating member 3315 is slidably mounted on the outer sidewall 3131 of the assembly 3311 and exposed from the outer sidewall 3131 of the receiving member 313, making it easy for the user to grasp. The number of operating members 3315 can be one, or the number of operating members 3315 can be increased based on usage needs. In one embodiment, there is only one operating member 3315 to enable switching between blade assemblies 333 with different cutting calibers, while also simplifying the manufacturing process of the vertical blade assembly 331. In another embodiment, there are two operating members 3315, for example, one on each side of the mounting rod 3313. This allows the operator to select the nearest operating member 3315 based on their actual position relative to the first blade 33 during operation, thereby accelerating the operation of the blade assembly 333. Specifically, in some embodiments, the surface of the operating member 3315 can be provided with anti-slip grooves to increase grip friction and facilitate gripping.
[0077] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the vertical blade assembly 331 may further include a linkage rod 3317. The linkage rod 3317 is fixed to the operating member 3315 and passes through the assembly 3311. The linkage rod 3317 is fixedly connected to the assembly 3311 and spaced apart from the blade 335 of the knife assembly 333. When the operator rotates the operating member 3315, the linkage rod 3317 rotates. The linkage rod 3317 rotates the assembly 3311, which in turn rotates the entire mounting rod 3313 through the assembly 3311. The rotation of the mounting rod 3313 in turn rotates the knife assembly 333 mounted thereon, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the cutting knife assembly 333.
[0078] Furthermore, please combine Figure 6 In some embodiments, the assembly member 3311 is provided with a receiving hole 33111. An elastic member (not shown) can be sleeved on the linkage rod 3317 and at least partially received in the receiving hole 33111, with the ends of the elastic member respectively connected to the operating member 3315 and the assembly member 3311. Alternatively, the elastic member can be sleeved on the outer wall of the assembly member 3311, with the ends of the elastic member respectively connected to the operating member 3315 and the assembly member 3311. In one embodiment, when the operating member 3315 is in the reset position, the elastic force of the elastic member is directed toward the inner side of the side wall 3131 of the receiving member 313, causing the operating member 3315 to have pressure against the side wall 3131 of the receiving member 313, thereby limiting the rotation of the vertical knife assembly 331. When the vertical knife assembly 331 needs to be rotated, the operator only needs to pull the operating member 3315 outward to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member and release the pressure of the operating member 3315 on the side wall 3131 of the receiving part 313, thereby rotating the vertical knife assembly 331 relative to the receiving part 313.
[0079] See also Figure 6In some embodiments, the receiving part 313 includes two opposite side walls 3131, and the food cutter 100 also includes two limiting pressure members 40, each limiting pressure member 40 cooperates with the through hole 31311 on the side wall 3131 of the corresponding receiving part 313 to limit the two ends of the first knife 33.
[0080] Specifically, please combine Figure 7 The limiting pressure member 40 cooperates with the through hole 31311 to limit the position of the assembly 3311 installed in the through hole 31311, ensuring that the vertical knife assembly 331 does not shake violently when cutting food, resulting in poor cutting effect. In addition, in some embodiments, the limiting pressure member 40 is detachably mounted on the knife holder 31. Therefore, if the vertical knife assembly 331 malfunctions (e.g., due to wear, jamming, or breakage), it can be quickly disassembled for inspection and maintenance, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the food cutter 100.
[0081] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the receiving component 313 includes two opposite side walls 3131, and the food cutter 100 also includes two limiting pressure members 40 and two carrying rings 50. Each limiting pressure member 40 includes a first limiting ring 41 and a second limiting ring 43 connected to each other. Each side wall 3131 is provided with a through hole 31311 corresponding to a first limiting ring 41, and the second limiting ring 43 corresponds to the carrying ring 50. The first limiting ring 41 cooperates with the corresponding through hole 31311, and the second limiting ring 43 cooperates with the corresponding carrying ring 50 to limit the two ends of the first knife 33.
[0082] Specifically, the two carrying rings 50 are respectively disposed on the outer sides of the two side walls 3131 of the receiving component 313 , at least a portion of the operating member 3315 is located in the carrying ring 50 , and the carrying ring 50 cooperates with the operating member 3315 to switch the cutting gear.
[0083] Please combine Figure 8In some embodiments, each carrying ring 50 includes a carrying plate 51 and a carrying wall 53 extending from the periphery of the carrying plate 51. The carrying plate 51 and the carrying wall 53 together form a carrying groove 55. The carrying plate 51 defines a carrying hole 511, and a plurality of limiting protrusions 5111 are disposed around the periphery of the carrying hole 511. The operating member 3315 is positioned within the carrying groove 55 and at least partially extends through the carrying hole 511. The operating member 3315 is provided with limiting grooves 33151 corresponding to the plurality of limiting protrusions 5111 around the periphery. When the operating member 3315 is pressed against the receiving member 313, the operating member 3315 can rotate so that different limiting grooves 33151 engage with the limiting protrusions 5111 to switch the cutting position. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the periphery of the operating member 3315 may be provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions, and the periphery of the bearing hole 511 may be provided with limiting grooves corresponding to the plurality of limiting protrusions. When the operating member 3315 is pulled outward relative to the receiving member 313, the operating member 3315 can rotate so that the limiting protrusions cooperate with different limiting grooves to switch the cutting gear. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the width of the bearing hole 511 in the first direction (X1 / X2) is smaller than the width of the bearing slot 55 in the first direction (X1 / X2), so that the operating member 3315 can pass through the bearing hole 511, and a portion of the operating member 3315 abuts against the bearing plate 51 under the elastic force of the elastic member (not shown), ensuring that the different limiting grooves 33151 on the operating member 3315 can cooperate with the limiting protrusions 5111 to switch the cutting gear.
[0084] In some embodiments, the number of the limiting grooves 33151 includes multiple ones, and each limiting groove 33151 corresponds to a cutting diameter of the blade 335. For example, in the present application, there are four limiting grooves 33151, corresponding to four gears, so that the operator can use the limiting grooves 33151 to operate the rotating first tool 33 and select four different cutting gears to cut the food.
[0085] In some embodiments, a limiting protrusion 5111 may be directly provided on the body 311 and / or the sidewall 3131, and a limiting groove 33151 may be provided on the operating member 3315. When the operating member 3315 is in the reset position, the limiting groove 33151 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 5111 to restrict the rotation of the first cutter 33 relative to the cutter holder 31. To rotate the first cutter 33, the operating member 3315 can be pulled outward or squeezed inward to release the engagement between the limiting groove 33151 and the limiting protrusion 5111, thereby allowing the first cutter 33 to rotate and switching the cutting position.
[0086] See also Figure 8In certain embodiments, the blade assembly 333 may include a first blade assembly 3331, a second blade assembly 3333, and a third blade assembly 3335. The vertical blade assembly 331 may include a first side and a second side, and a third side and a fourth side, which are opposite to each other. The position of the blade assembly 333 on the vertical blade assembly 331 may be designed differently based on actual requirements. For example, in one embodiment, the first blade assembly 3331 and the third blade assembly 3335 are located on the first and second sides, the second blade assembly 3333 is located on the third side, and the fourth side is not provided with the blade assembly 333. In another embodiment, the first blade assembly 3331 and the third blade assembly 3335 are located on the first and third sides, the second blade assembly 3333 is located on the second side, and the fourth side is not provided with the blade assembly 333.
[0087] In some embodiments, the multiple knife groups 333 correspond to different blade 335 densities. For example, in the present application, the blade 335 density in the second knife group 3333 is less than the blade 335 density in the first knife group 3331, and greater than the blade 335 density in the third knife group 3335. In other embodiments, the blade 335 density in some of the multiple knife groups 333 may be the same. For example, the blade 335 density in the first knife group 3331 and the third knife group 3335 may be the same, but different from the blade 335 density in the second knife group 3333. During operation, when the operator needs to cut food to the corresponding cutting diameters of the first knife group 3331 and the third knife group 3335, they can alternate between using the first knife group 3331 and the third knife group 3335. This reduces wear on the first knife group 3331 and the third knife group 3335, thereby reducing the frequency of repairing or replacing the knife groups 333.
[0088] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting rod 3313 includes a first mounting rod 33131, a second mounting rod 33133, and a third mounting rod 33135. A plurality of blades 335 are alternately mounted on the first mounting rod 33131, the second mounting rod 33133, and the third mounting rod 33135 to form a first blade assembly 3331, a second blade assembly 3333, and a third blade assembly 3335.
[0089] In some embodiments, the blade shapes of different knife groups 333 may differ. For example, the blades of the first knife group 3331 may be flat, the blades of the second knife group 3333 may be serrated, and the blades of the third knife group 3335 may be a combination of flat and serrated. This allows the three knife groups to achieve different cutting effects and be suitable for different types of food. In other embodiments, the blade shapes of the different knife groups 333 may be the same, with the different cutting calibers of the different knife groups 333 producing different cutting effects.
[0090] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the blade 335 can be detachably mounted to the mounting rod 3313 by snapping or screwing, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of a damaged blade 335. In other embodiments, the blade 335 can be non-detachably mounted to the mounting rod 3313 by welding or gluing, or the blade 335 and the mounting rod 3313 can be integrally formed when manufacturing the first cutter 33, thereby enhancing the stability of the blade 335 and preventing the blade 335 from becoming unstable during cutting, resulting in poor cutting results, or even falling off.
[0091] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, a tray structure 60 is mounted on the knife holder 31 for carrying food and can be adjusted in height in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). When the height of the tray structure 60 is adjusted, the knife assembly structure 30 can cut food into different thicknesses. The tray structure 60 includes a tray 61 housed in the receiving cavity 3130, a lifting assembly 63, and a drag assembly 65. The lifting assembly 63 includes a support component 631, a lifting component 633, and a supporting component 635. The support component 631 is mounted on the receiving component 313, the lifting component 633 is mounted on the support component 631, and the supporting component 635 is mounted on the top of the lifting component 633. The tray 61 is installed on the top of the supporting part 635, and the dragging component 65 passes through the side wall 3131 of the receiving part 313 and is connected to the supporting part 635. When the dragging component 65 slides along the first direction (X1 / X2), the height of the supporting part 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby driving the lifting part 633 and the tray 61 to move along the second direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0092] Specifically, please combine Figure 3 The tray 61 is used to hold food that is dropped from the feeding port 211 and passes through the perforations 115. The blade of the first cutter 33 penetrates the tray 61 to cut the food. As the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 reciprocate relative to the carrier 11 along with the cutter holder 31, the cutters (either the first cutter 33 alone or the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 together) cut the food on the tray 61.
[0093] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9In some embodiments, the tray 61 may include a supporting portion 611 and an extension portion 613. The supporting portion 611 is mounted on the lifting assembly 63. The extension portion 613 bends and extends from the supporting portion 611 toward the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving component 313. The extension portion 613 is disposed between the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35, and can be used to isolate the food from the first cutter 33 to prevent the food from getting stuck in the first cutter 33. A discharge port 615 is formed between the second cutter 35 and the extension portion 613. The cut food is discharged from the discharge port 615 along the extension portion 613 and falls into the storage container 200 ( Figure 1 As shown, for example, in dishes, the direction in which food is discharged from the discharge port 615 is consistent with the second direction (Z1 / Z2). It should be noted that in some embodiments, the feeding port 211 and the discharge port 615 are located on opposite sides of the blade holder 31. This allows the food to be quickly discharged from the discharge port 615 after being cut, preventing food from accumulating at the discharge port 615 and causing blockage, which would affect cutting efficiency.
[0094] In some embodiments, the extension portion 613 includes a connecting sub-portion 6131, a guiding sub-portion 6133 and a blocking sub-portion 6135, the connecting sub-portion 6131 extends from the supporting portion 611, the guiding sub-portion 6133 connects the blocking sub-portion 6135 and the connecting sub-portion 6131, the extension direction of the guiding sub-portion 6133 is inclined compared to the extension direction of the supporting portion 611, and the blocking sub-portion 6135 extends along the second direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0095] Specifically, the connecting sub-portion 6131 is bent and connected to one end of the supporting portion 611, and the side of the connecting sub-portion 6131 near the supporting member 635 contacts the top wall of the supporting member 635, facilitating the installation of the tray 61 on top of the supporting member 635. The guide sub-portion 6133 is disposed between the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 and cooperates with the second cutter 35 to form the discharge opening 615. The extension direction of the guide sub-portion 6133 is inclined relative to the extension direction of the supporting portion 611, so that the cut food can be discharged from the discharge opening 615 along the guide sub-portion 6133, thereby preventing food from clogging the discharge opening 615 and affecting cutting efficiency. The blocking sub-portion 6135 is connected to the guide sub-portion 6133 and extends along the second direction (Z1 / Z2) to prevent the cut food from entering the receiving cavity 3130 and causing the first cutter 33 to become stuck.
[0096] Please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, a through slot 617 is further provided on the tray 61, a portion of the through slot 617 is provided on the extension portion 613, and another portion is provided on the supporting portion 611. The blade of the first knife 33 can pass through the through slot 617 to cut food on the supporting portion 611.
[0097] Specifically, both the connecting sub-portion 6131 and the guiding sub-portion 6133 are provided with a through-slot 617, so that the blade of the first cutter 33 can pass through the through-slot 617 to cut food on the supporting portion 611. The blocking sub-portion 6135 is at least partially provided with a through-slot 617. When the first cutter 33 rotates, the through-slot 617 on the blocking sub-portion 6135 is used to avoid the first cutter 33, thereby ensuring that the blade of the first cutter 33 does not collide with the blocking sub-portion 6135 during the rotation of the first cutter 33.
[0098] See also Figure 9 In some embodiments, the support component 631 includes a support plate 6311 and a guide plate 6313. The guide plate 6313 extends from one side of the support plate 6311 and defines a guide hole 63131. The guide hole 63131 extends along a first direction (X1 / X2). The supporting component 635 includes a support plate 6351 and a guide plate 6353. The guide plate 6353 extends from one side of the support plate 6351 and defines a first guide groove 63531. The first guide groove 63531 extends along a third direction (P1 / P2), which intersects the first direction (X1 / X2). The drag assembly 65 passes through the sidewall 3131 and the guide hole 63131 and is movably connected to the first guide groove 63531. The first direction (X1 / X2), the second direction (Z1 / Z2), and the third direction (P1 / P2) are all different. In some embodiments, the third direction (P1 / P2) is inclined relative to the first direction (X1 / X2).
[0099] Please combine Figure 6 In one embodiment, the guide plate 6313 is connected to the side wall 3131 of the receiving member 313, thereby facilitating the installation of the support member 631 in the receiving member 313. In another embodiment, the support plate 6311 is connected to the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving member 313, thereby enabling the support member 631 to be supported on the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving member 313, thereby making the installation of the support member 631 more stable.
[0100] In some embodiments, a first through hole 31331 is provided on the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving part 313, and a second through hole 6318 is provided on the support plate 6311, wherein the first through hole 31331 and the second through hole 6318 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby facilitating the installation of the support part 631 and observing the working condition of the lifting assembly 63 on the one hand, and reducing the weight of the knife group structure 30 and the power consumption required for the knife group structure 30 to move relative to the carrier 11 along the first direction (X1 / X2) on the other hand.
[0101] See also Figure 9In some embodiments, the support plate 6351 includes a first side 63511 and a second side 63513 opposite to each other, and a third side 63515 located between the first side 63511 and the second side 63513 of the support plate 6351. The support plate 6311 includes a first side 63111 and a second side 63113 opposite to each other, and a third side 63115 located between the first side 63111 and the second side 63113 of the support plate 6311. Figure 6 The first end 3135 and the second end 3137 of the support plate 6311 correspond to each other, and the first side 63111 and the second side 63113 of the support plate 6311 correspond to the receiving part 313 ( Figure 6 The first end 3135 and the second end 3137 of the support plate 6351 (shown) also correspond to each other. The support plate 6351 and the support plate 6311 are spaced apart relative to each other. The lifting components 633 include two lifting components 633, both of which are located between the support plate 6351 and the support plate 6311. One lifting component 633 connects the first side 63511 of the support plate 6351 and the first side 63111 of the support plate 6311, and the other lifting component 633 connects the second side 63513 of the support plate 6351 and the second side 63113 of the support plate 6311. The guide plate 6353 is located on the third side 63515 of the support plate 6351, and the guide plate 6313 is located on the third side 63115 of the support plate 6311. The two lifting components 633 are located on the opposite sides of the support plate 6351 and the support plate 6311, respectively, so as to ensure that the movement of the support plate 6351 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) is more stable, and prevent one side of the support plate 6351 from tilting, causing it to get stuck and unable to rise or fall.
[0102] Please refer again Figure 9 In some embodiments, each lifting component 633 includes a first rod 6331 and a second rod 6333, the first rod 6331 and the second rod 6333 are cross-rotatably connected, the first end 63311 of the first rod 6331 is rotatably connected to the support plate 6351, and the second end 63313 is rotatably and movably connected to the support plate 6311, the first end 63331 of the second rod 6333 is rotatably connected to the support plate 6311, and the second end 63333 is rotatably and movably connected to the support plate 6351, and the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 and the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 are movable along a fourth direction (Y1 / Y2). The fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) is different from the first direction (X1 / X2), the second direction (Z1 / Z2), and the third direction (P1 / P2). For example, the first direction (X1 / X2) is the direction of the food cutter 100 ( Figure 1The first direction (Z1 / Z2) is the length direction of the food cutter 100, the second direction (Z1 / Z2) is the height direction of the food cutter 100, and the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) is the width direction of the food cutter 100.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the first end 63311 of the first rod 6331 and the first end 63331 of the second rod 6333 are respectively located on the supporting plate 6351 and the supporting plate 6311, and the first end 63311 of the first rod 6331 is opposite to the first end 63331 of the second rod 6333; the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 and the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 are respectively located on the supporting plate 6311 and the supporting plate 6351, and the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 is opposite to the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333, so that the lifting component 633 has four fulcrums on the supporting plate 6351, and the lifting and lowering of the four fulcrums are kept synchronized, so that the rising or falling of various parts of the supporting plate 6351 can also be kept synchronized, thereby ensuring that the overall rising and falling of the supporting plate 6351 is more stable, and will not tilt to one side, causing it to be stuck and unable to rise or fall.
[0104] When the dragging component 65 slides along the first direction (X1 / X2), the height of the supporting plate 6351 of the supporting component 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) changes. Since the first end 63311 of the first rod 6331 is rotatably connected to the supporting plate 6351, and the first end 63331 of the second rod 6333 is rotatably connected to the support plate 6311, and the first end 63331 of the second rod 6333 is cross-rotatably connected, the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 and the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 can both move along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2), thereby driving the lifting component 633 and the tray 61 to change in height in the second direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby changing the thickness of the food cut by the first knife 33 and / or the second knife 35. In one example, when the drag assembly 65 slides in the positive direction X1 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the first rod 6331 rotates counterclockwise about the intersection, and the second rod 6333 rotates clockwise about the intersection, causing the support plate 6351 to decrease in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). Accordingly, the tray 61 and the lifting member 633 also decrease in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) (moving toward Z2), thereby increasing the thickness of food cut by the first or second cutter 33 or 35. Conversely, when the drag assembly 65 slides in the negative direction X2 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the first rod 6331 rotates clockwise about the intersection, and the second rod 6333 rotates counterclockwise about the intersection, causing the support plate 6351 to increase in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). Accordingly, the tray 61 and the lifting member 633 also increase in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) (moving toward Z1), thereby decreasing the thickness of food cut by the first or second cutter 33 or 35.
[0105] In some embodiments, the supporting member 635 further includes a first protrusion 6355 and a second protrusion 6357, both of which extend from the same side of the supporting plate 6351 toward the support plate 6311. The supporting member 631 further includes a first protrusion 6315 and a second protrusion 6317, both of which extend from the support plate 6311 toward the supporting plate 6351 and are opposite to the first protrusion 6355 and the second protrusion 6357, respectively.
[0106] In certain embodiments, the second protrusion 6357 and the second projection 6317 define a first guide groove 63571 and a second guide groove 63171, respectively. Both the first guide groove 63571 and the second guide groove 63171 extend along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2). The first end 63311 of the first rod 6331 is rotatably connected to the first protrusion 6355, and the second end 63313 is rotatably and movably connected to the second guide groove 63171. The first end 63331 of the second rod 6333 is rotatably connected to the first projection 6315, and the second end 63333 is rotatably and movably connected to the first guide groove 63571. Specifically, the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 is arranged in the second guide groove 63171 and can move along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) in the second guide groove 63171; the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 is arranged in the first guide groove 63571 and can move along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) in the first guide groove 63571.
[0107] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 63 further includes a first connecting rod 637. The first connecting rod 637 is disposed in two opposing first guide slots 63571. The second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 637. The first connecting rod 637 is capable of moving relative to the first guide slot 63571, thereby driving the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 to move relative to the first guide slot 63571. The provision of the first connecting rod 637 in the lifting assembly 63 further synchronizes the movement of the first rod 6331 and the second rod 6333 in the two first guide slots 63571 and prevents the first rod 6331 and the second rod 6333 from becoming stuck.
[0108] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 63 further includes a second connecting rod 639. The second connecting rod 639 is disposed in two opposing second guide slots 63171. The second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 639. The second connecting rod 639 can move relative to the second guide slot 63171 to drive the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 to move relative to the second guide slot 63171.
[0109] In certain embodiments, first rollers 6371 are provided at opposite ends of the first connecting rod 637. The first rollers 6371 are located in the first guide slot 63571 and connected to the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333, so that the second end 63333 of the second rod 6333 moves along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) within the first guide slot 63571. Second rollers 6391 are provided at opposite ends of the second connecting rod 639. The second rollers 6391 are located in the second guide slot 63171 and connected to the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331, so that the second end 63313 of the first rod 6331 moves along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) within the second guide slot 63171. The first roller 6371 and the second roller 6391 can reduce the shaking of the first rod 6331 and the second rod 6333 when they move in the second guide groove 63171 and the second guide groove 63171, thereby ensuring that the overall rise and fall of the supporting plate 6351 is more stable.
[0110] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the tray 61 is fixedly connected to the supporting member 635; in another embodiment, the tray 61 is detachably connected to the supporting member 635, and the tray 61 can move along the second direction (Z1 / Z2) together with the supporting member 635. On the one hand, it can prevent the tray 61 from shifting after being subjected to pressure applied by food or other devices, thereby affecting the cutting efficiency. On the other hand, it is easy to disassemble when the tray 61 is damaged due to long-term use or requires maintenance.
[0111] In some embodiments, the tray 61 further includes a limiting portion 618. The limiting portion 618 extends from the load-bearing portion 611 toward the lifting assembly 63. Two limiting portions 618 are provided on opposite sides of the tray 61 to form a limiting groove 620, within which the support plate 6351 is mounted. The limiting portions 618 prevent the tray 61 from shifting due to pressure from food or other devices, which could affect the normal operation of the food cutter 100, thereby ensuring the cutting efficiency of the food cutter 100.
[0112] In some embodiments, the tray 61 may further include a locking member 619. The locking member 619 can penetrate the load-bearing portion 611 and connect to the supporting member 635, so that the load-bearing portion 611 is mounted on the supporting member 635 and can move along with the supporting member 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). In other embodiments, the load-bearing portion 611 can be fixed to the supporting member 635 by gluing or welding, which can provide a more stable installation and prevent the tray 61 from shifting due to force when cutting food.
[0113] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the drag assembly 65 includes a drag member 651. The drag member 651 is disposed through the side wall 3131 and is connected to the supporting member 635. When the drag member 651 moves along the first direction (X1 / X2), the height of the supporting member 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby driving the height of the lifting member 633 and the tray 61 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) to change.
[0114] In some embodiments, the drag assembly 65 further includes a sliding member 653. The sliding member 653 is installed in the guide hole 63131 and extends into the first guide groove 63531 to connect with the supporting member 635. The drag member 651 is disposed through the side wall 3131 and connected to the sliding member 653.
[0115] Specifically, when the dragging component 651 moves in the positive direction X1 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the sliding component 653 moves in the guide hole 63131 in the positive direction X1 of the first direction (X1 / X2), so as to drive the supporting component 635 to move in the reverse direction Z2 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2), and then drive the lifting component 633 and the tray 61 to move in the reverse direction Z2 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the food cut by the first knife 33 or the second knife 35 gradually becomes thicker. When the dragging component 651 moves in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction (X1 / X2), the sliding component 653 moves in the guide hole 63131 in the opposite direction X2 of the first direction (X1 / X2), so as to drive the supporting component 635 to move in the positive direction Z1 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2), and then drive the lifting component 633 and the tray 61 to move in the positive direction Z1 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the food cut by the first knife 33 or the second knife 35 gradually becomes thinner.
[0116] See also Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the sliding component 653 includes a sliding unit 6531 and a sliding roller 6533. The sliding unit 6531 is mounted in the guide hole 63131 and can move in the first direction (X1 / X2) in the guide hole 63131. The sliding roller 6533 is connected to the sliding unit 6531 and is mounted in the first guide groove 63531 and can move in the third direction (P1 / P2) in the first guide groove 63531.
[0117] In certain embodiments, the guide hole 63131 includes a support portion 631311 and first guide portions 631313 disposed on opposite sides of the support portion 631311. The sliding unit 6531 includes a sliding frame 65311 and a plurality of guide rollers 65313. The sliding frame 65311 is mounted on the support portion 631311. The plurality of guide rollers 65313 are mounted on opposite sides of the sliding frame 65311 and positioned within the first guide portions 631313, enabling the sliding frame 65311 to move along the support portion 631311 in a first direction (X1 / X2).
[0118] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the support member 631 further includes a limiting plate 6319. The limiting plate 6319 is mounted on a side of the guide plate 6313 near the sidewall 3131 of the receiving member 313 and defines a second guide slot 63191 extending along the first direction (X1 / X2). The drag assembly 65 passes through the sidewall 3131, the second guide slot 63191, and the guide hole 63131, and is movably connected to the first guide slot 63531. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the width of the second guide slot 63191 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) is smaller than the width of the guide hole 63131 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2). This reduces shaking of the drag assembly 65 in the second guide slot 63191 along the second direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby ensuring the stability of the drag assembly 65 along the first direction (X1 / X2).
[0119] In some embodiments, the limiting plate 6319 includes a second guide portion 63193, which is spaced apart from the first guide portion 631313. Specifically, a sliding frame 65311 is disposed between the first guide portion 631313 and the second guide portion 63193. A plurality of guide rollers 65313 are respectively located in the first guide portion 631313 and the second guide portion 63193, so that the sliding frame 65311 can move along a first direction (X1 / X2). The sliding frame 65311 is disposed between the first guide portion 631313 and the second guide portion 63193, thereby facilitating installation of the drag assembly 65 and simplifying the assembly process.
[0120] Please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the side wall 3131 is provided with a third guide groove 31313 extending along the first direction (X1 / X2), and the dragging component 65 is movably connected to the first guide groove 63531 after passing through the third guide groove 31313, the second guide groove 63191, and the guide hole 63131.
[0121] Please combine Figure 10In some embodiments, the drag component 651 includes a handle 6511, a drag rod 6513, and an elastic member (not shown). The drag rod 6513 is disposed through the side wall 3131 of the receiving component 313. One end of the drag rod 6513 is connected to the handle 6511 via the elastic member, and the other end is connected to the sliding member 653. The handle 6511 and the sliding member 653 are located on the inner and outer sides of the side wall 3131, respectively. The handle 6511 can be pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the blade holder 31. When the handle 6511 is pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the blade holder 31, the elastic member provides an elastic restoring force.
[0122] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, a detachable limiting member 70 is provided on the main body 311 and / or the side wall 3131 of the receiving component 313. When the handle 6511 of the drag assembly 65 is pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the knife seat 31, it can slide along the first direction (X1 / X2) and cooperate with the limiting member 70 to limit the position of the drag rod 6513 in the third guide groove 31313.
[0123] Please combine Figure 11 In some embodiments, the limiting member 70 includes a limiting plate 71 and a limiting frame 73 extending from the periphery of the limiting plate 71 toward the side wall 3131. The limiting plate 71 and the limiting frame 73 together form a mounting groove 75. A through limiting hole 711 is formed on the limiting plate 71, and a plurality of limiting portions 7111 are provided at the periphery of the limiting hole 711. The limiting portions 7111 are protruding structures extending toward the side wall 3131. A portion of the handle 6511 is located in the mounting groove 75, and the other portion is passed through the limiting hole 711. Specifically, please refer to Figure 7The handle 6511 includes a snap-fitting opening 65111 and a gripping portion 65113. The snap-fitting opening 65111 is located in the mounting groove 75, and the snap-fitting opening 65111 can be correspondingly engaged with a plurality of limiting portions 7111. The gripping portion 65113 is inserted into the limiting hole 711, and when the gripping portion 65113 is pressed against the blade holder 31, the gripping portion 65113 moves in the positive direction Y1 of the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2) to disengage the snap-fitting opening 65111 from the limiting portion 7111. At this time, the handle 6511 can slide along the first direction (X1 / X2) until the snap-fitting opening 65111 engages with different limiting portions 7111, thereby being restricted to different positions of the third guide groove 31313. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the width of the limiting hole 711 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2) is smaller than the width of the mounting slot 75 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the gripping portion 65113 can pass through the limiting hole 711, and the snap-fitting opening 65111 abuts against the limiting plate 71 under the elastic force of the elastic member (not shown in the figure), ensuring that the snap-fitting opening 65111 can cooperate with the limiting portion 7111 so that the handle 6511 is restricted to different positions of the third guide groove 31313.
[0124] The user can drag the handle 6511 to slide along the third guide groove 31313, so that the dragging component 651 can move along the first direction (X1 / X2) to cooperate with different limiting parts 7111, and be restricted to different positions of the third guide groove 31313, so that the sliding unit 6531 is restricted to different positions of the guide hole 63131, and the sliding roller 6533 is located in the first guide groove 63531, thereby making the sliding roller 6533 restricted to different positions of the first guide groove 63531, thereby changing the height of the supporting component 635 in the second direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0125] Among them, Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first guide groove 63531 is higher on the left and lower on the right. Figure 6 When the dragging component 651 moves from the leftmost end to the rightmost end of the first guide groove 63531 (i.e., moves along the X2 direction), the overlapping part of the first guide groove 63531 and the third guide groove 31313 changes from the highest point of the first guide groove 63531 to the lowest point of the first guide groove 63531, so that the first guide groove 63531 is lifted relative to the third guide groove 31313, that is, the tray 61 is lifted relative to the knife holder 31. At this time, the tray 61 moves relative to the first cutter 33 in the positive direction Z1 of the second direction (Z1 / Z2), and the thickness of the food cut by the first cutter 33 becomes thinner.
[0126] See also Figure 9 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the limiting plate 71 is further provided with limit scales 7113, each limit scale 7113 corresponding to a limit portion 7111. The limit scales 7113 are used to indicate the thickness cutting gear. For example, when the dragging member 651 is engaged with the limit portion 7111, the limit scale 7113 corresponding to the dragging member 651 under the engaged dragging member 651 indicates the current thickness cutting gear.
[0127] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drive structure 80 includes a drive member 81, a crank 83, and a drive roller 85. The drive member 81 is mounted on the second side 113 of the carrier 11, and the crank 83 and the drive roller 85 are both disposed on the first side 111 of the carrier 11. The drive structure 80 is configured to drive the blade assembly structure 30 and the tray structure 60 to reciprocate relative to the carrier 11 in a first direction (X1 / X2). When the blade holder 31 reciprocates in the first direction (X1 / X2), the guide roller 13 rotates in the guide rail 317, causing the blade assembly structure 30 to slide stably along the guide rail 317.
[0128] In some embodiments, the driving member 81 includes a stator 811 and an output shaft (not shown) extending from the stator 811. The output shaft passes through the carrier 11 and is rotatable relative to the stator 811. In some embodiments, the driving structure 80 may further include a decorative housing 87 mounted on the carrier 11, and the driving member 81 is housed in the decorative housing 87. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the driving member 81 may be a motor.
[0129] In some embodiments, one end of the crank 83 is connected to an output shaft (not shown). The other end of the crank 83 is connected to a drive roller 85. When the output shaft of the driving member 81 drives the crank 83 to rotate, the crank 83 drives the drive roller 85 to rotate, causing the blade assembly structure 30 to reciprocate relative to the carrier 11 in the first direction (X1 / X2).
[0130] Please combine Figure 6 In some embodiments, the main body 311 of the knife holder 31 is further provided with a slide groove 3113 extending approximately along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2). The slide groove 3113 may be arc-shaped or straight-bar-shaped. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the extension direction of the slide groove 3113 is the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2). In this way, the space occupied by the slide groove 3113 in the main body 311 can be saved, and the size of the main body 311 can be reduced. The driving roller 85 is arranged in the slide groove 3113. When the output shaft of the driving member 81 drives the crank 83 to rotate, the crank 83 drives the driving roller 85 to slide back and forth and rotate in the slide groove 3113, so that the knife group structure 30 reciprocates along the first direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11.
[0131] In some embodiments, the blade holder 31 is provided with a mounting notch 3115 that communicates with the chute 3113. The mounting notch 3115 extends in a direction that is consistent with the first direction (X1 / X2). The driving roller 85 can enter the chute 3113 through the mounting notch 3115, so that when the crank 83 drives the driving roller 85 to slide back and forth and rotate in the chute 3113, the blade assembly structure 30 can reciprocate in the first direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the blade holder 31 may not be provided with the mounting notch 3115, and the driving roller 85 can directly extend into the chute 3113. When the crank 83 drives the driving roller 85 to slide back and forth and rotate in the chute 3113, the blade assembly structure 30 can reciprocate in the first direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11.
[0132] In some embodiments, the mounting notch 3115 is eccentrically disposed relative to the chute 3113. Specifically, in one embodiment, the mounting notch 3115 can be disposed at an end of the chute 3113 along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2); in another embodiment, the mounting notch 3115 can be disposed at a position other than the center of the chute 3113 along the fourth direction (Y1 / Y2), so that the driving roller 85 can enter the chute 3113 through the mounting notch 3115. When the driving roller 85 slides back and forth in the chute 3113, the driving roller 85 will not slide out of the mounting notch 3115, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the food cutter 100.
[0133] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In certain embodiments, when the frame 10 includes a support member 15, the bottom of the frame 10 may be formed with two opposite ends hollowed out, and the other two opposite ends being an open structure, wherein the open opposite ends may correspond to the first side 312 and the second side 314 of the tool holder 31, so that when a machine malfunctions, the cause of the malfunction can be directly observed from the open ends, which facilitates maintenance. The opposite ends of the hollowing have openings, wherein the size of the openings is consistent with the size of the knife group structure 30. When the knife needs to be disassembled for repair or maintenance due to reasons such as knife damage or knife jamming, the operator can directly slide the knife group structure 30 out of the opening for disassembly, maintenance or repair, which makes the operation more convenient and improves work efficiency. In one embodiment, both opposite ends of the hollowing are provided with openings; in another embodiment, one of the two opposite ends of the hollowing is provided with an opening. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, a blocking member 19 needs to be provided outside the opening, and the blocking member 19 is detachably connected to the supporting member 11 to prevent the knife group structure 30 from sliding directly out of the frame 10 due to a failure of the drive structure 80 or other reasons during the sliding process of the knife group structure 30 on the first side 111 of the supporting member 11, thereby causing damage to the knife group structure 30.
[0134] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the food cutter 100 may further include a pressing member 90. The pressing member 90 is used to extend into the feeding member 21 to push the food in the feeding member 21 downward (Z2 direction), and at the same time, it can fix the food to be cut, making it easier for the knife to apply cutting force to the food, thereby improving cutting efficiency and cutting quality.
