In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the present application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0057] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. In an example, it can be a fixed connection, or a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection, or can communicate with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.
[0058] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6, 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 two opposite side walls 3131. The tray structure 60 includes a tray assembly 61 for carrying food, a lifting assembly 63 and a rotating assembly 65. The rotating assembly 65 includes a cam component 651 and a rotating component 653. The cam component 651 is passed through the two side walls 3131 and can rotate relative to the side walls 3131. The rotating component 653 is rotatably mounted on one of the side walls 3131 and is used to drive the cam component 651 to rotate. The cam component 651 conflicts with the lifting assembly 63. The lifting assembly 63 is received in the receiving part 313, and the tray assembly 61 is carried on the top of the lifting assembly 63. When the cam member 651 rotates, the height of the contact position between the cam member 651 and the lifting assembly 63 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0059] In some embodiments, when the rotating component 653 drives the cam component 651 to rotate and the contact position of the cam component 651 and the lifting component 63 rises in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the tray assembly 61 and the lifting component 63 rise together in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, the tray assembly 61 and the lifting component 63 move together in the positive direction Z1 of the first direction (Z1 / Z2); when the rotating component 653 drives the cam component 651 to rotate and the contact position of the cam component 651 and the lifting component 63 descends in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the tray assembly 61 and the lifting component 63 descend together in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, the tray assembly 61 and the lifting component 63 move together in the reverse direction Z2 of the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0060] The tray structure 60 of the food cutter 100 of the present application is provided with a cam component 651, and the cam component 651 contacts the lifting component 63, so that when the cam component 651 rotates, the height of the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting component 63 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby causing the lifting component 63 and the tray component 61 to rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2). As a result, the food cutter 100 can cut the food carried on the tray component 61 into different thicknesses without changing the cutter, which is simple to operate and improves cutting efficiency.
[0061] The food cutter 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the food cutting machine 100 may further include a frame 10, a feeding structure 20, a knife group structure 30 and a driving structure 70. The feeding structure 20, the knife group structure 30, the tray structure 60 and the driving structure 70 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 first direction (Z1 / Z2). The knife group structure 30 is used 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 70 is used to drive the knife group structure 30 to reciprocate relative to the frame 10 along the second direction (X1 / X2). The first direction (Z1 / Z2) is different from the second direction (X1 / X2).
[0063] In one example, the first direction (Z1 / Z2) is perpendicular to the second direction (X1 / X2). For example, the first direction (Z1 / Z2) is the height direction of the food cutter 100, and the second direction (X1 / X2) is the length direction of the food cutter 100. In other examples, as long as the first direction (Z1 / Z2) and the second direction (X1 / X2) 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.
[0064] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may include a support 11 and a guide roller 13. The support 11 may be in the shape of a flat plate or a platform, which is not limited here. The support 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 support is closer to the ground than the second side 113 of the support. The feeding structure 20 is located on the second side 113 of the support, and the knife group structure 30, the tray structure 60 and the driving structure 70 are located on the first side 111 of the support. The guide roller 13 is arranged on the first side 111 of the support, and the guide roller 13 is inclined relative to the first side 111 of the support. Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The guide roller 13 has a central axis MM1, and the angle between the central axis MM1 and the first side 111 of the support member 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 support member. When the guide roller 13 is tilted relative to the first side 111 of the support member, both the first surface 131 and the second surface 133 are tilted relative to the first side 111 of the support member.
[0065] 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 in a direction away from the first side 111 of the carrier, 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 70 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 from directly contacting the ground, causing problems such as uncleanliness or damage due to moisture.
[0066] Please combine Figure 3 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. 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, 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.
[0067] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may also include a fixed seat 17 and a mounting member 19, the mounting member 19 is detachably mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier, the driving structure 70 is passed through the carrier 11 and the mounting member 19 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 (Z1 / Z2), and the fixed seat 17 is mounted on the side of the mounting member 19 facing away from the carrier 11.
[0068] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 includes a feeding piece 21 for receiving food. The carrier 11 is provided with a through-hole 115 that passes through the first side 111 and the second side 113 of the carrier. The feeding piece 21 is mounted on the carrier 11 through the through-hole 115 and corresponds to the tray structure 60. The feeding piece 21 includes 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 the safety of cutting. The through-hole 115 of the carrier 11 corresponds to the feeding port 211 so that food fed into the feeding piece 21 from the feeding port 211 can fall from the through-hole 115 onto the tray structure 60. In some embodiments, there can be multiple feeding pieces 21, and each feeding piece 21 is correspondingly 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 through-hole 115 can be one-to-one or many-to-one. For example, one feeding port 211 can correspond to one through-hole 115 , or multiple feeding ports 211 can correspond to one through-hole 115 .
[0069] 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 is slidably mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier. The first knife 33 and the second knife 35 are both mounted on the knife holder 31 to cut food on the tray structure 60. The first knife 33 and the second knife 35 have different cutting modes for the food.
[0070] 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 component 313 and a loading component 315 . The receiving component 313 and the loading component 315 are both mounted on the body 311 .
[0071] 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.
[0072] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the first side 312 and the second side 314 of the knife seat are respectively provided with guide rails 317 that cooperate with the guide rollers 13. Specifically, the 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 the second direction (X1 / X2). The guide rollers 13 on the first side 111 of the support member cooperate with the guide rails 317 on the first side 312 and the second side 314 of the knife seat, respectively, so that the knife assembly structure 30 can be slidably mounted on the first side 111 of the support member. 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 support member, and the first protrusion 3173 and the second protrusion 3175 extend from the guide surface 3171 in a direction away from the receiving component 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 structure 30 reciprocates along the second 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, 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), the knife seat 31 in the embodiment of the present application slides more stably on the frame 10 and will not jump (move up and down) in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby making the shape of the cut food better.
[0073] 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 a one-to-two ratio; other one-to-many ratios are also possible, and this is not a limitation here.
[0074] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the receiving component 313 includes a side wall 3131 and a bottom wall 3133 , and the side wall 3131 and the bottom wall 3133 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 3130 .
[0075] In some embodiments, the receiving part 313 includes a first end 3135 and a second end 3137 that are opposite and both open. The loading part 315 is mounted on the body 311 and is located at the edge of the receiving notch 3111. The loading part 315 is opposite to the first end 3135 of the receiving part. The first cutter 33 is mounted on the loading part 315. The second cutter 35 is mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving part and is spaced apart from the first cutter 33. The first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 are both used to cut food on the tray assembly 61. The cutting forms of the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 are different. For example, the first cutter 33 cuts food into slices, and the second cutter 35 cuts food into strips. In one example, the first cutter 33 can be mounted on the loading part 315 by a non-detachable mounting method such as welding, riveting, gluing, etc., thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the first cutter 33 and preventing it from falling off easily when cutting food. In another example, the first cutter 33 can be mounted on the carrier 315 via 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. Similarly, in one example, the second cutter 35 can be mounted to the first end 3135 of the receiving component via 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 during cutting. In another example, the second cutter 35 can be mounted to the first end 3135 of the receiving component via 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.
[0076] Please combine Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second knife 35 includes a vertical knife assembly 351 and multiple knife groups 353 for cutting food. The vertical knife assembly 351 is disposed at the first end 3135 of the receiving component. The knife groups 353 are disposed on the vertical knife assembly 351. The multiple knife groups 353 have multiple cutting gears for cutting food and multiple knife groups 353 have multiple different cutting calibers, each cutting gear corresponding to a cutting caliber. When the vertical knife assembly 351 rotates relative to the receiving component 313, the knife groups 353 rotate together with the vertical knife assembly 351 to switch the knife groups 353 for cutting food to the corresponding cutting gear.
[0077] The second cutter 35 of the embodiment of the present application has multiple knife groups 353 with different cutting calibers. When the vertical knife assembly 351 is pressed internally relative to the receiving part 313, the vertical knife assembly 351 can rotate, thereby driving the knife group 353 to rotate to switch the cutting gear of the knife group 353, thereby realizing the selection of different knife groups 353 to cut food according to the type of food.
[0078] In some embodiments, each blade assembly 353 includes a plurality of spaced-apart blades 355, and the blades 355 of different blade assemblies 353 have different densities. The blades 355 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.
[0079] See also Figures 6 to 8 In certain embodiments, the vertical blade assembly 351 includes an assembly part 3511, a mounting rod 3513, an operating member 3515, and an elastic element (not shown). The assembly part 3511 is mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving component. The mounting rod 3513 passes through and is fixed to the assembly part 3511, and the blade 355 is mounted on the mounting rod 3513. The operating member 3515 is connected to the assembly part 3511 and can be exposed from the side wall 3131 of the receiving component 313, for an operator to hold and be pressed from the inside. The elastic element is arranged between the assembly part 3511 and the operating member 3515, and is used to provide elastic force when the operating member 3515 is pressed from the inside, and the elastic element is used to reset the operating member 3515.
[0080] Specifically, in some embodiments, the receiving member 313 includes two opposing sidewalls 3131, each of which has a through-hole 31310. The assembly member 3511 is mounted in the through-hole 31310. In one embodiment, the assembly member 3511 includes two, each of which is respectively inserted through the through-hole 31310 of the two sidewalls 3131 to mount the vertical blade assembly 351 to the sidewall 3131.
[0081] In certain embodiments, multiple blade assemblies 353 are mounted on a mounting rod 3513. The number of mounting rods 3513 can be adjusted based on actual design requirements. In one embodiment, there is a single mounting rod 3513, and multiple blade assemblies 353 are mounted on the single mounting rod 3513. This allows for switching blade assemblies 353 with different cutting effects while simplifying the manufacturing process of the vertical blade assembly 351. In another embodiment, there are two mounting rods 3513, and multiple blade assemblies 353 are mounted on separate mounting rods 3513. This strengthens the mounting rods 3513, thereby increasing the firmness of the blade assemblies 353, reducing the degree of shaking of the blade assemblies 353 when cutting food, and thus enhancing the stability of the blade assemblies 353 when cutting food.
[0082] In some embodiments, an operating member 3515 is slidably mounted on the outer sidewall of the assembly 3511 and exposed from the outside of the sidewall 3131 for easy gripping by the user. The number of operating members 3515 can be one, or the number can be increased based on usage needs. In one embodiment, there is only one operating member 3515 to enable switching between blade assemblies 353 with different cutting calibers, while simplifying the manufacturing process of the vertical blade assembly 351. In another embodiment, there are two operating members 3515, for example, one on each side of the mounting rod 3513. This allows the operator to select the nearest operating member 3515 based on their actual position relative to the first blade 33 during operation, thereby accelerating the operation of the blade assembly 353. Specifically, in some embodiments, the surface of the operating member 3515 can be provided with anti-slip grooves to increase grip friction and facilitate gripping.
[0083] In some embodiments, the vertical blade assembly 351 may further include a linkage rod 3517, which is fixed to the operating member 3515 and passes through the assembly 3511. The linkage rod 3517 is fixedly connected to the assembly 3511 and spaced apart from the blade 355 of the knife assembly 353. When the operator rotates the operating member 3515, the linkage rod 3517 rotates, which in turn rotates the assembly 3511, which in turn rotates the entire mounting rod 3513 through the assembly 3511. The rotation of the mounting rod 3513 in turn rotates the knife assembly 353 mounted thereon, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the cutting knife assembly 353.
[0084] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the food cutter 100 may further include two pressing members 40 , which are mounted on the first end 3135 of the receiving member and are used to press the second cutter 35 .
[0085] Specifically, the pressing member 40 cooperates with the through hole 31310 to limit the assembly 3511, ensuring that the vertical knife assembly 351 does not shake violently when cutting food, resulting in poor cutting effect. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the pressing member 40 is detachably mounted on the knife holder 31. Therefore, if the vertical knife assembly 351 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.
[0086] In some embodiments, the food cutter 100 may further include a supporting member 50 , which is disposed on the side wall 3131 , and through which at least a portion of the operating member 3515 passes. The supporting member 50 is used to limit the rotation of the operating member 3515 when cooperating with the operating member 3515 .
[0087] Specifically, please combine Figure 8 In some embodiments, the operating member 3515 may be provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 35151. The supporting member 50 is provided with a through-hole 51. A plurality of limiting protrusions 53 surrounding the through-hole 51 are provided on the side of the supporting member 50 facing the sidewall 3131. The operating member 3515 extends through the through-hole 51. When the operating member 3515 is not pressed, the limiting grooves 35151 and the limiting protrusions 53 cooperate to restrict the rotation of the operating member 3515, thereby fixing the cutting position. When the operating member 3515 is pressed against the blade holder 31, the limiting grooves 35151 and the limiting protrusions 53 disengage, allowing the operating member 3515 to rotate. After the operating member 3515 rotates a certain angle, the elastic force of the elastic element causes the limiting grooves 35151 on the rotating operating member 3513, which correspond to the limiting protrusions 53, to reengage with the limiting protrusions 53, thereby switching the cutting position. When the operating member 3515 is not pressed internally, the operating member 3515 can abut against the supporting member 50 under the elastic force of the elastic element, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooperation between the limiting groove 35151 and the limiting protrusion 53. Of course, in other embodiments, the operating member 3515 can be provided with multiple limiting protrusions 53, and the supporting member 50 can be provided with multiple limiting grooves 35151 corresponding to the multiple limiting protrusions 53 on the side facing the side wall 3131. When the operating member 3515 is pressed internally relative to the blade holder 31, the operating member 3515 can rotate to switch the cutting gear.
[0088] In some embodiments, the number of the limiting grooves 35151 includes multiple, and each limiting groove 35151 corresponds to a cutting diameter of the blade 355. For example, in the present application, there are four limiting grooves 35151, corresponding to four gears, so that the operator can use the operating member 3515 to operate the rotating first tool 33 and select four different cutting gears to cut the food.
[0089] In some embodiments, a limiting protrusion 53 may be directly provided on the body 311 and / or the sidewall 3131, and a limiting groove 35151 may be provided on the operating member 3515. When the operating member 3515 is in the reset position, the limiting groove 35151 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 53 to restrict the rotation of the second cutter 35 relative to the cutter holder 31. When the second cutter 35 needs to be rotated, the operating member 3515 can be pulled outward to release the cooperation between the limiting groove 35151 and the limiting protrusion 53, thereby allowing the second cutter 35 to rotate and switching the cutting gear.
[0090] In certain embodiments, the blade assembly 353 may include a first blade assembly 3531, a second blade assembly 3533, and a third blade assembly 3535. The vertical blade assembly 351 may include a first side and a second side that are opposite to each other, and a third side and a fourth side that are opposite to each other. The position of the blade assembly 353 on the vertical blade assembly 351 may be designed differently based on actual requirements. For example, in one embodiment, the first blade assembly 3531 and the third blade assembly 3535 are located on the first side and the second side, the second blade assembly 3533 is located on the third side, and no blade assembly is located on the fourth side. In another embodiment, the first blade assembly 3531 and the third blade assembly 3535 are located on the first side and the third side, the second blade assembly 3533 is located on the second side, and no blade assembly is located on the fourth side.
[0091] In some embodiments, multiple knife groups 353 correspond to different blade densities. For example, in the present application, the density of blades 355 in the second knife group 3533 is greater than the density of blades 355 in the first knife group 3531, and less than the density of blades 355 in the third knife group 3535. In other embodiments, some knife groups within the multiple knife groups may have blades with the same density. For example, the blades in the first and third knife groups may have the same density, but a different density from the blades in the second knife group. In this case, during specific operations, when the operator needs to cut food to the corresponding cutting diameters of the first and third knife groups, they can alternate between the first and third knife groups to reduce wear on the first and third knife groups, thereby reducing the frequency of repairing or replacing the knife groups.
[0092] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting rod 3513 may include a first mounting rod 35131, a second mounting rod 35133, and a third mounting rod 35135. A plurality of blades 355 are alternately mounted on the first mounting rod 35131, the second mounting rod 35133, and the third mounting rod 35135 to form a first blade assembly 3531, a second blade assembly 3533, and a third blade assembly 3535.
[0093] In some embodiments, the blade shapes of different knife groups 353 may differ. For example, the blades of the first knife group 3531 may be flat, the blades of the second knife group 3533 may be serrated, and the blades of the third knife group 3535 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 353 may be the same, with the different cutting calibers of the different knife groups 353 producing different cutting effects.
[0094] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the blade 355 can be detachably mounted to the mounting rod 3513 by snapping or screwing, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of a damaged blade 355. In other embodiments, the blade 355 can be non-detachably mounted to the mounting rod 3513 by welding or gluing, or the blade 355 and the mounting rod 3513 can be integrally formed when manufacturing the first cutter 33, thereby enhancing the stability of the blade 355 and preventing the blade 355 from becoming unstable during cutting, resulting in poor cutting results, or even falling off.
[0095] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the tray structure 60 is mounted on the knife holder 31 and is used to carry food. The tray structure 60 can adjust the height in the first direction (Z1 / Z2). When the height of the tray structure 60 is adjusted, the knife group structure 30 can cut the food into different thicknesses. The tray structure 60 includes a tray assembly 61 for carrying food, a lifting assembly 63 and a rotating assembly 65. The rotating assembly 65 includes a cam component 651 and a rotating component 653. When the rotating component 653 rotates, the cam component 651 rotates, and the cam component 651 contacts the lifting assembly 63. As a result, the height of the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby causing the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 to rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0096] Please combine Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the tray assembly 61 includes a tray 611 and a tray bracket 613. The tray 611 is mounted on a side of the tray bracket 613 facing away from the lifting assembly 63. The tray 611 includes a carrying portion 6111 and an extension portion 6113. The food is carried on the carrying portion 6111. The extension portion 6113 bends and extends from the carrying portion 6111 and is positioned between the first and second cutters 33 and 35. The tray bracket 613 includes a support portion 6131 corresponding to the carrying portion 6111 and a bend portion 6133 corresponding to the extension portion 6113. The bend portion 6133 bends and extends from the support portion 6131 and is positioned between the first and second cutters 33 and 35. In some embodiments, the tray 611 can be detachably mounted to the tray bracket 613 using screws, snap-fit fasteners, or other means. This allows for easy removal for repair or replacement when the tray 611 becomes worn or requires cleaning. In other embodiments, the tray 611 may be fixed to the tray bracket 613 by gluing or welding to make the installation more stable and prevent the tray 611 from being offset due to force when cutting food.
[0097] Specifically, the extension portion 6113 and the bend portion 6133 can be used to isolate the food from the second cutter 35 to prevent the food from being stuck by the second cutter 35. A discharge port 350 is formed between the second cutter 35 and the extension portion 6113. The cut food is discharged from the discharge port 350 along the extension portion 6113 and falls into a storage container (not shown), such as a bowl or dish. The direction in which the food is discharged from the discharge port 350 is substantially consistent with the first direction (Z1 / Z2). It should be noted that in some embodiments, the feed port 211 and the discharge port 350 are located on opposite sides of the knife holder 31, so that the food can be quickly discharged from the discharge port 350 after being cut, thereby preventing food from accumulating at the discharge port 350, causing the discharge port 350 to be blocked and affecting the cutting efficiency.
[0098] In some embodiments, the tray bracket 613 is provided with a through hole 6135, and the tray 611 is provided with a through groove 6115 corresponding to the through hole 6135. A portion of the through groove 6115 is provided on the extension portion 6113, and the other portion is provided on the supporting portion 6111. The blade of the second tool 35 can pass through the through hole 6135 and out of the through groove 6115.
[0099] Specifically, a portion of the through-hole 6135 is provided in the support portion 6131, and another portion is provided in the bent portion 6133. The blade of the second cutter 35 passes through the through-hole 6135 and out of the through-slot 6115. The through-hole 6135 can be formed as through holes extending through opposite sides of the tray support 613. This ensures that the blade of the second cutter 35 can pass through the through-slot 6115 and simplifies the processing of the tray support 613, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0100] In one embodiment, the tray support 613 is non-detachably fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 63, thereby preventing the tray support 613 from shifting due to pressure exerted by food or other devices, which could affect cutting efficiency. In another embodiment, the tray support 613 is detachably connected to the lifting assembly 63, and the tray support 613 can move along the first direction (Z1 / Z2) with the lifting assembly 63, thereby facilitating removal of the tray support 613 if it is damaged due to prolonged use or requires maintenance.
[0101] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 63 may include a lifting member 631 and a plurality of support members 633. The lifting member 631 includes a lifting plate 6311, which includes a first side 63111 and a second side 63113 opposite to each other. The tray assembly 61 is supported on the first side 63111 of the lifting plate, and the cam member 651 abuts against the second side 63113 of the lifting plate. The plurality of support members 633 are connected to the second side 63113 of the lifting plate. When the lifting plate 6311 is raised or lowered along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the support members 633 remain connected to the lifting plate 6311. The provision of multiple support components 633, on the one hand, can prevent the lifting plate 6311 from tilting during movement along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), ensuring that the lifting plate 6311 can rise or fall in the first direction (Z1 / Z2); on the other hand, it can also guide the lifting plate 6311 to move only along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), preventing the lifting plate 6311 from deflecting, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the food cutter 100.
[0102] In one embodiment, multiple support members 633 may be positioned at multiple corners of the lifting plate 6311 to ensure more stable movement of the lifting plate 6311 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), preventing one side of the tray assembly 61 from tilting and becoming stuck and unable to rise or fall. Specifically, the multiple support members 633 may be positioned in a triangular shape on the second side 63113 of the lifting plate. This not only ensures the stability of the movement of the lifting plate 6311 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), but also reduces interference between the support members 633 and other components, ensuring the proper functioning of the food cutter 100. In other embodiments, the multiple support members 633 may be positioned at other locations on the lifting plate 6311, without limitation.
[0103] In certain embodiments, each support member 633 includes a support seat 6331 and a support rod 6333. The support seat 6331 is disposed on the side of the bottom wall 3133 facing the lifting assembly 63. One end of the support rod 6333 passes through the support seat 6331, and the other end is connected to the second side 63113 of the lifting plate. When the lifting plate 6311 rises or descends along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the support rod 6333 can extend and retract relative to the support seat 6331 along the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0104] Specifically, the support base 6331 is mounted on the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving component 313, and the support rod 6333 is retractably disposed through the support base 6331. When the lifting plate 6311 ascends in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the support rod 6333 extends relative to the support base 6331 in the positive direction Z1 of the first direction (Z1 / Z2). When the lifting plate 6311 descends in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the support rod 6333 retracts relative to the support base 6331 in the negative direction Z2 of the first direction (Z1 / Z2). Thus, the support base 6331 and the support rod 6333 cooperate to restrict the lifting plate 6311 to ascend or descend only in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), preventing the lifting plate 6311 from deflecting and ensuring the normal operation of the food cutter 100. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the lifting plate 6311 rises or falls along the first direction ( Z1 / Z2 ), one end of the support rod 6333 is always located in the support seat 6331 .
[0105] Please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the cam component 651 includes a camshaft 6511 and connecting shafts 6513 located at opposite ends of the camshaft 6511. The camshaft 6511 is housed in the housing component 313 and contacts the lifting assembly 63. The two connecting shafts 6513 are respectively provided through the two side walls 3131 and can rotate relative to the side walls 3131. The rotating component 653 is connected to one connecting shaft 6513. When the rotating component 653 is driven to rotate, the connecting shaft 6513 is driven to rotate. Specifically, when the connecting shaft 6513 rotates, the camshaft 6511 rotates relative to the side wall 3131, thereby causing the height of the contact point between the camshaft 6511 and the lifting plate 6311 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2) to change, thereby causing the lifting plate 6311 and the tray assembly 61 to rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0106] In certain embodiments, the camshaft 6511 includes a core portion 65111 and a reducing portion 65113. The core portion 65111 has a rotation center (not shown). The reducing portion 65113 extends from the outer circumference of the core portion 65111, covering a portion or all of the outer circumference of the core portion 65111. The distance between the rotation center and the outer surface of the reducing portion 65113 gradually changes along the extension direction of the reducing portion 65113.
[0107] In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the reducing portion 65113, the distance between the rotation center and the outer surface of the reducing portion 65113 gradually increases. When the cam shaft 6511 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 rises along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 rise along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby thinning the thickness of the food cut by the first tool 33; when the cam shaft 6511 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise, the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 descends along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 descend along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby thickening the thickness of the food cut by the first tool 33.
[0108] In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the reducing portion 65113, the distance between the rotation center and the outer surface of the reducing portion 65113 gradually decreases. When the cam shaft 6511 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 descends along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 descend along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby thickening the thickness of the food cut by the first tool 33; when the cam shaft 6511 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise, the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 rises along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 rise along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby thinning the thickness of the food cut by the first tool 33.
[0109] In some embodiments, the lifting member 631 may further include a plurality of extension arms 6313 extending from the lifting plate 6311 toward the bottom wall 3133. The extension arms 6313 are elastically connected to the receiving member 313 via elastic members (not shown). The elastic members are used to provide an elastic force to maintain contact between the lifting plate 6311 and the cam shaft 6511.
[0110] Specifically, one end of the elastic member is connected to the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving component 313, and the other end is connected to the extension arm 6313. When the lifting plate 6311 rises along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the elastic member can provide elastic pulling force to pull the lifting plate 6311 toward the bottom wall 3133, so that the lifting plate 6311 maintains contact with the cam shaft 6511. Compared with the embodiment in which the elastic member is not provided (the extension arm 6313 is not elastically connected to the receiving component 313 through the elastic member), the lifting plate 6311 and the cam shaft 6511 in the embodiment of the present application always maintain contact, thereby preventing the lifting plate 6311 from failing to contact the cam shaft 6511 during movement along the first direction (Z1 / Z2) due to processing errors or other reasons, thereby ensuring the stability of the lifting plate 6311 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, ensuring the stability of the tray assembly 61 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), and further ensuring the accuracy of the tray assembly 61 in adjusting the thickness of food.
[0111] In one embodiment, the bottom wall 3133 of the receiving component 313 may further be provided with a guide post (not shown), with one end of an elastic member connected to the guide post and the other end connected to the extension arm 6313. When the lifting plate 6311 rises in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the elastic member can provide an elastic force to maintain contact between the lifting plate 6311 and the camshaft 6511. In another embodiment, the side wall 3131 of the receiving component 313 may be provided with a guide post (not shown), extending from the side wall 3131 toward the lifting component 631. The elastic member has one end connected to the side wall of the guide post and the other end connected to the extension arm 6313. In one example, the guide post is positioned higher than the bottom of the extension arm 6313 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2). Thus, when the lifting plate 6311 rises in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the guide post squeezes the elastic member, allowing the elastic member to provide an elastic compressive force to press the lifting plate 6311 toward the bottom wall 3133, thereby maintaining contact between the lifting plate 6311 and the camshaft 6511. In another example, the guide post is positioned lower than the bottom of the extension arm 6313 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2). Thus, when the lifting plate 6311 rises in the first direction (Z1 / Z2), the guide post stretches the elastic member, allowing the elastic member to provide an elastic force, thereby maintaining contact between the lifting plate 6311 and the camshaft 6511.
[0112] In some embodiments, the camshaft 6511 further includes a plurality of protrusions 65115 . The plurality of protrusions 65115 are disposed on the outer side of the diameter-reducing portion 65113 . When the camshaft 6511 rotates, the lifting assembly 63 contacts different protrusions 65115 .
[0113] Specifically, a plurality of protrusions 65115 are spaced apart on the outer side of the reducing portion 65113 and extend away from the axis portion 65111. In one embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 65115 are of equal height, thereby ensuring more stable ascent or descent of the lifting plate 6311 when the lifting plate 6311 collides with different protrusions 65115. In another embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 65115 are of different heights. For example, the heights of the plurality of protrusions 65115 gradually increase or decrease along the extending direction of the reducing portion 65113. The provision of the plurality of protrusions 65115 of different heights can, to a certain extent, increase the range of adjustment of the ascent or descent of the lifting plate 6311 along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), thereby increasing the range of adjustment for the thickness of the food to be cut.
[0114] See also Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the rotating component 653 includes a rotating member 6531, an elastic member 6533, and a connecting member 6535. The rotating member 6531 is disposed outside the side wall 3131 and is sleeved on the connecting shaft 6513. The ends of the elastic member 6533 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 6513 and the rotating member 6531. The rotating member 6531 can be pulled outward relative to the blade holder 31 on the connecting shaft 6513. The connecting member 6535 is used to connect the rotating member 6531 and the connecting shaft 6513. When the rotating member 6531 is pulled outward relative to the blade holder 31, the elastic member 6533 provides an elastic restoring force.
[0115] In some embodiments, the sidewall 3131 includes a plurality of restricting holes 31311. The rotating member 6531 includes an abutting portion 65311 and a gripping portion 65313. The abutting portion 65311 abuts against the sidewall 3131, and the gripping portion 65313 extends from the abutting portion 65311 toward a side facing away from the sidewall 3131 for a user to grip. A restricting protrusion 65315 is provided on the side of the abutting portion 65311 facing the sidewall 3131. The restricting protrusion 65315 engages with any of the restricting holes 31311. When the rotating member 6531 is pulled outward relative to the blade holder 31, the rotating member 6531 can rotate and engage with different restricting holes 31311, thereby restricting the rotating member 6531 to different angular positions. In some embodiments, the surface of the gripping portion 65313 may be provided with anti-slip grooves to increase gripping friction and facilitate gripping by the operator.
[0116] In some embodiments, each limiting hole 31311 may correspond to a protrusion 65115 of the camshaft 6511, that is, each limiting hole 31311 corresponds to a thickness adjustment gear. For example, the number of limiting holes 31311 may be nine, corresponding to nine gears. The operator can use the rotating part 6531 to rotate the cam component 651 to select different thickness adjustment gears.
[0117] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the tool holder 31 is provided with a slide groove 37 opened along a third direction (Y1 / Y2), and the third direction (Y1 / Y2) is different from the second direction (X1 / X2). The driving structure 70 includes a driving member 71, a crank 73 and a driving roller 75. The driving member 71 is mounted on the carrier 11, and the output shaft (not shown) of the driving member 71 passes through the carrier 11. One end of the crank 73 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 71. The driving roller 75 is connected to the other end of the crank 73, and the driving roller 75 is accommodated in the slide groove 37. When the output shaft of the driving member 71 drives the crank 73 to rotate, the crank 73 drives the driving roller 75 to slide back and forth and rotate in the slide groove 37, so as to drive the tool holder 31 to reciprocate along the second direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11.
[0118] Specifically, the driver 71 is mounted on the second side 113 of the carrier, and the crank 73 and drive roller 75 are both mounted on the first side 111 of the carrier. A slide 37 is provided in the body 311 of the blade holder 31 and extends along the third direction (Y1 / Y2). When the driver 71 drives the output shaft to rotate, the crank 73 connected to the output shaft of the driver 71 rotates, thereby driving the drive roller 75 to reciprocate and rotate within the slide 37. This enables the driver 71 to drive the blade assembly structure 30 and the tray structure 60 to reciprocate relative to the first side 111 of the carrier in the second direction (X1 / X2). When the blade holder 31 reciprocates in the second direction (X1 / X2), the guide roller 13 rotates within the guide rail 317, causing the blade assembly structure 30 to slide stably along the guide rail 317. In certain embodiments, the driver 71 may further include a decorative housing 77 mounted to the carrier 11, in which the driver 71 is housed. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the driving member 71 may be a motor.
[0119] In some embodiments, the chute 37 may be arc-shaped, straight, or the like, without limitation. The chute 37 extends along the third direction (Y1 / Y2), thereby reducing the space occupied by the chute 37 within the body 311 and thereby reducing the size of the body 311, thereby miniaturizing the tray structure 60 and the food cutter 100.
[0120] In some embodiments, the blade holder 31 is provided with a mounting notch 371 that communicates with the chute 37. The mounting notch 371 is configured to accommodate the drive roller 75. Specifically, the mounting notch 371 extends in a direction aligned with the second direction (X1 / X2). The drive roller 75 can enter the chute 37 through the mounting notch 371, thereby enabling the blade assembly structure 30 to reciprocate relative to the support member 11 along the second direction (X1 / X2) when the crank 73 drives the drive roller 75 to slide back and forth and rotate within the chute 37. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the blade holder 31 may not be provided with the mounting notch 371, and the drive roller 75 may extend directly into the chute 37. Therefore, when the crank 73 drives the drive roller 75 to slide back and forth and rotate within the chute 37, the blade assembly structure 30 can reciprocate relative to the support member 11 along the second direction (X1 / X2).
[0121] In some embodiments, the mounting notch 371 is eccentrically disposed relative to the chute 37 in the third direction (Y1 / Y2). Specifically, in one embodiment, the mounting notch 371 can be disposed at an end of the chute 37 along the second direction (X1 / X2). In another embodiment, the mounting notch 371 can be disposed at a position other than the center of the chute 37 along the second direction (X1 / X2). This allows the driving roller 75 to enter the chute 37 through the mounting notch 371, and prevents the driving roller 75 from sliding out of the mounting notch 371 while sliding back and forth in the chute 37, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the food cutter 100.
[0122] In some embodiments, the slide groove 37 is provided with a through groove 373 that passes through the bottom of the slide groove 37 , and the through groove 373 extends along the third direction (Y1 / Y2). The width of the through groove 373 in the second direction (X1 / X2) is smaller than the diameter of the driving roller 75 .
[0123] Specifically, if the blade assembly 30 is unable to reciprocate in the second direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11 due to a foreign object in the chute 37 or a malfunction of the drive roller 75, the operator can observe the internal conditions of the chute 37 through the through-slot 373, thereby promptly identifying the cause of the malfunction and performing repairs, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the food cutting machine 100. The width of the through-slot 373 in the second direction (X1 / X2) is smaller than the diameter of the drive roller 75, thereby preventing the drive roller 75 from falling or getting stuck, and ensuring that the blade assembly 30 can reciprocate in the second direction (X1 / X2) relative to the carrier 11.
[0124] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the food cutter 100 further includes a follower pressure plate structure 80. The follower pressure plate structure 80 is disposed on the carrier 11. A portion of the follower pressure plate structure 80 passes through the carrier 11 and maintains contact with an end of the carrier portion 6111 of the tray structure 60 that is away from the extension portion 6113 when the blade holder 31 moves relative to the carrier 11 in the second direction (X1 / X2).
[0125] In certain embodiments, the follower pressure plate structure 80 includes a housing 81, a pressure plate 83, and an elastic member (not shown). The pressure plate 83 is slidably connected to the housing 81. The elastic member is coupled to both the housing 81 and the pressure plate 83 to provide an elastic force to the pressure plate 83, which is used to maintain abutment between the pressure plate 83 and the end of the bearing portion 6111 away from the extension portion 6113. Specifically, the shell 81 is arranged on the second side 113 of the carrier, the pressure plate 83 is passed through the carrier 11 and can be abutted against the tray assembly 61, and the elastic member is arranged inside the shell 81 and connects the shell 81 and the pressure plate 83. The elastic member provides elastic force to the pressure plate 83 so that the pressure plate 83 can maintain abutment with the end of the carrier 6111 away from the extension portion 6113 when the tray assembly 61 rises or falls along the first direction (Z1 / Z2). When the knife holder 31 moves in the opposite direction X2 of the second direction (X1 / X2), the pressure plate 83 moves relative to the knife holder 31 in the positive direction X1 of the second direction (X1 / X2), so that the cut food on the carrier 6111 can be pushed to the discharge port 350, so that the cut food can fall into the storage container (not shown) from the discharge port 350 in time, thereby ensuring that the uncut food can be carried on the tray 611, and then ensuring that the food can be completely cut, thereby improving the cutting effect of the food cutter 100.
[0126] In addition, the setting of the follower pressure plate structure 80 can also ensure the interference between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63, preventing the lifting plate 6311 from being unable to interfere with the cam shaft 6511 during the movement along the first direction (Z1 / Z2) due to processing errors or other reasons, thereby ensuring the stability of the lifting plate 6311 moving along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), that is, ensuring the stability of the tray assembly 61 moving along the first direction (Z1 / Z2), and further ensuring the accuracy of the tray assembly 61 in adjusting the thickness of the food.
[0127] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6, the embodiment of the present application further provides a tray structure 60. The tray structure 60 includes a tray assembly 61 for carrying food, a lifting assembly 63 and a rotating assembly 65. The rotating assembly 65 includes a cam component 651 and a rotating component 653, and the rotating component 653 is used to drive the cam component 651 to rotate. The cam component 651 is in conflict with the lifting assembly 63, and the tray assembly 61 is carried on the top of the lifting assembly 63. When the cam component 651 rotates, the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting assembly 63 changes, so that the lifting assembly 63 and the tray assembly 61 rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2).
[0128] The tray structure 60 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a cam component 651, and the cam component 651 contacts the lifting component 631, so that when the cam component 651 rotates, the height of the contact position between the cam component 651 and the lifting component 63 in the first direction (Z1 / Z2) changes, thereby causing the lifting component 63 and the tray component 61 to rise or fall together along the first direction (Z1 / Z2). As a result, the food cutter 100 can cut the food carried on the tray component 61 into different thicknesses without changing the cutter, which is simple to operate and improves cutting efficiency.
