Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household kitchenware technology, and specifically discloses a vegetable cutter. Background Technology

[0002] A vegetable cutter is a processing device for quickly cutting vegetables and other food ingredients. It mainly consists of a main body, a motor assembly inside the main body, a blade assembly on the main body, a detachable receiving box located below the main body's feed inlet, and a top cover with a food feeding channel located above the main body. Food ingredients are fed through the channel in the top cover, contacting the blade assembly on the main body. The motor assembly drives the blade assembly to reciprocate, cutting the food. The cut food then falls through the main body's feed inlet into the receiving box.

[0003] Currently, vegetable cutters do not have a built-in structure for storing the power cord, which makes it easy for the power cord to get tangled when storing the cutter. This makes it inconvenient to store both the cutter and the power cord. However, if a dedicated structure for storing the power cord were added to the main body, the cutter would become too large, which would affect its ease of use to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address at least one of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a vegetable cutter that, without adding any additional components, can store the power cord through a support frame, thereby avoiding the power cord from becoming tangled when storing the vegetable cutter and improving the convenience of use for the user.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its problem is:

[0006] Vegetable cutter, including:

[0007] The main body contains a motor assembly;

[0008] The support frame is rotatably connected to the main body. The support frame can tilt to support the main body or be folded into the main body. The support frame is provided with a storage slot, and at least two protrusions are provided in the storage slot. The edge of the storage slot is also provided with a plug hole.

[0009] The power cord has one end connected to the input terminal of the motor assembly and the other end connected to a power plug. The power cord can be wound around the protrusion and the power plug can be inserted into the socket.

[0010] In some embodiments of the invention, a retaining plate is formed extending from the edge of the receiving groove on the protrusion, the retaining plate being used to limit the displacement of the power line along the axial direction of the protrusion.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the edge of the storage slot is recessed inward to form a recess, through which the power cord passes to enter the storage slot.

[0012] In some further examples, the jacks and recesses are respectively located on the opposite sides of the storage slot.

[0013] In some further examples, the first side of the main body is recessed inward to form a concave surface. When the support frame is retracted into the main body, the side of the support frame facing the main body fits into the concave surface, and the first side of the main body is flush with the side of the support frame facing away from the main body.

[0014] In specific application scenarios, the first side surface and the recessed surface are connected by a connecting surface. The main body is provided with a wire hole for passing through the concave part. The wire hole penetrates the first side surface and the connecting surface so that the power cord moves in the wire hole as the support frame rotates.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, two protrusions are provided, and the protrusions are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the storage groove.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, opposite connecting portions are provided on opposite sides of the support frame, the connecting portions are coaxially arranged, and the connecting portions are rotatably mounted to the main body so that the support frame and the main body are rotatably connected.

[0017] In some further examples, the main body is provided with connection holes on opposite sides of the support frame, and the support frame is rotatably connected to the main body by means of a connecting part rotatably mounted to the connection hole.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving box is also included, with a discharge port on the main body and a fixing groove through the support frame corresponding to the discharge port. When the support frame tilts to support the main body, the opposite ends of the receiving box are respectively connected to the discharge port and the fixing groove.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the vegetable cutter provided by this invention has the following technical advantages:

[0020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the support frame is one of the components of the vegetable cutter. It has a storage groove on the support frame, at least two protrusions in the storage groove, and a socket on the edge of the storage groove. The protrusions are used to wrap around the power cord of the vegetable cutter, and the socket is used to fix the power plug of the vegetable cutter. Since the support frame is one of the components inside the vegetable cutter, the function of storing the power cord of the vegetable cutter is realized without setting additional components. This avoids the power cord from getting tangled when storing the vegetable cutter and greatly improves the convenience of use for users. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0030] according to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a vegetable cutter, including a support frame 1, a main body 2, and a power cord 3.

[0031] The main body 2 contains a motor assembly.

[0032] The support frame 1 is rotatably connected to the main body 2. The support frame 1 can tilt to support the main body 2 or be folded into the main body 2. The support frame 1 is provided with a storage groove 11. At least two protrusions 12 are provided in the storage groove 11. The edge of the storage groove 11 is also provided with a socket 13.

[0033] One end of the power cord 3 is connected to the input end of the motor assembly, and the other end is connected to the power plug 31. The power cord 3 can be wound around the protrusion 12 and the power plug 31 can be inserted into the socket 13. In fact, the entire power cord 3 is exposed outside the main body 2 so that the power plug 31 can be plugged into the power socket to form power supply.

[0034] In practical applications, the support frame 1 has corresponding connecting parts 15 on its opposite sides. The connecting parts 15 are coaxially arranged and are rotatably mounted to the main body 2 so that the support frame 1 and the main body 2 are rotatably connected, thereby changing the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2, and thus supporting the main body 2 or storing it in the main body 2. Preferably, the main body 2 has connecting holes on its opposite sides corresponding to the support frame, and the support frame 1 is rotatably connected to the main body 2 by being rotatably mounted to the connecting holes through the connecting parts 15. Furthermore, the main body 2 is provided with a placement space for accommodating the support frame 1.

[0035] In practical applications, the support frame 1 is one of the components of the vegetable cutter. The number of protrusions 12 can be adjusted according to specific application requirements. In this embodiment, two protrusions 12 are provided as a preferred implementation, and this will be further described. Since the power plug 31 generally has two or three protrusions in practice, the corresponding socket 13 is also provided with two or three protrusions. In this embodiment, the power plug 31 has two protrusions and the socket 13 has two protrusions as a preferred implementation, but other implementations that can achieve the present invention should also be included in the present invention.

[0036] When using the vegetable cutter, the main body 2 is tilted to the horizontal plane, and the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2 is an acute angle, so that the support frame 1 supports the main body 2 tilted to the horizontal plane. When the vegetable cutter needs to be stored, the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2 is a flat angle, so that the support frame 1 is folded into the main body 2. Specifically, the support frame 1 is stored in the placement space of the main body 2, so that the side of the support frame 1 facing the main body 2 is flush with the side of the main body 2 facing the support frame 1. Of course, when storing the vegetable cutter, the power cord 3 also needs to be stored. The power cord 3 is wrapped around the protrusion 12, and the power plug 31 is fixed in the socket 13, so that the power cord 3 is fixedly stored in the storage slot 11.

[0037] Through the above settings, the power cord of the vegetable cutter can be stored without the need for additional components, thus avoiding tangling of the power cord when storing the vegetable cutter and greatly improving the convenience of use for users.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, a retaining plate 121 is formed extending from the edge of the receiving groove 11 towards the protrusion 12, thereby forming a space for receiving the power cord 3 between the retaining plate 121 and the inner bottom side of the receiving groove 11 to limit the displacement of the power cord 3 along the axial direction of the protrusion 12; furthermore, a clearance hole 110 is formed on the inner bottom side of the receiving groove 11 corresponding to the retaining plate 121. When the power cord 3 is wound around the protrusion 12, the retaining plate 121 restricts the power cord 3, so that the power cord 3 exerts a reverse force on the retaining plate 121 and the inner bottom side of the receiving groove 11 along the axial direction of the protrusion 12. The clearance hole 110 accommodates part of the power cord 3, so that the part of the power cord 3 can be deformed, thereby relieving the reverse force on the retaining plate 121 and the inner bottom side of the receiving groove 11.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the edge of the storage groove 11 is recessed inward to form a recess 14. The power cord 3 passes through the recess 14 to enter the storage groove 11, so that the power cord 3 and the storage groove 11 are on the same plane. A part of the power cord 3 near the main body 2 is located in the recess 14, so that the other part of the power cord 3 connected to the power plug 31 is located in the storage groove 11. Then the power cord can be wound around the protrusion 12 and the power plug can be inserted into the socket 13. Furthermore, the recess 14 can also be used to hold the power cord 3 of the vegetable cutter. When the power cord 3 is stored, the part of the power cord 3 near the main body 2 can be restricted to be stable in the recess 14, preventing this part of the power cord 3 from falling out of the recess 14 and causing the part wound around the protrusion 12 to also loosen.

[0040] To reduce the overall volume of the vegetable cutter when the support frame 1 is stored in the main body 2, the first side 20 of the main body 2 is recessed inward to form an inner surface 201. When the support frame 1 is folded into the main body 2, the side of the support frame 1 facing the main body 2 fits against the inner surface 201, and the first side 20 of the main body 2 is flush with the side of the support frame 1 facing away from the main body 2. This reduces the space occupied by the vegetable cutter when it is stored, and also makes it easier to place the vegetable cutter stably on a horizontal surface, thus achieving the effect of convenient storage.

[0041] In practice, when the support frame 1 rotates, the power cord 3 portion located in the recess 14 will also move with the support frame 1, causing the power cord 3 portion to deform. Therefore, the first side surface 20 and the recessed surface 201 are connected by a connecting surface 200. The main body 2 is provided with a wire hole 23 for passing through the power cord 3 corresponding to the recess 14. The wire hole 23 penetrates the first side surface 20 and the connecting surface 200, so that the power cord 3 moves in the wire hole 23 as the support frame 1 rotates, so as to accommodate the part of the power cord 3 that has moved, that is, the part of the power cord 3 that has deformed.

[0042] To prevent the power cord 3 from being damaged due to excessive deformation caused by the excessive displacement of the support frame 1, in practical applications, the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2 is set to be less than 90°, thereby preventing the power cord 3 from being damaged due to excessive rotation of the support frame 1.

[0043] In some further examples, the socket 13 and the recess 14 are respectively located on opposite sides of the storage groove 11, which makes it easier to utilize the space on opposite sides of the storage groove 11, improves the overall utilization rate of the space inside the vegetable cutter, and thus achieves a better storage effect. Preferably, the edge of the storage groove 11 with the socket 13 is inclined outward, so that the power plug 31 can be more easily inserted into the socket 13 to complete the storage of the power cord 3. In a more specific embodiment, the socket 13 and the recess 14 are arranged along the center line of the storage groove 11. Since the power plug 31 is inserted into the socket 13, after the power cord 3 is wrapped around the protrusion 12, the part of the power cord 3 that is snapped into the recess 14 and the other part that connects to the power plug 31 can be arranged in the same straight line, avoiding damage to the power cord caused by unreasonable arrangement after storage.

[0044] Similarly, the protrusions 12 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the storage slot 11. The power cord 3 is wound around the two protrusions 12, so that it is evenly stored on both sides of the center line of the storage slot 11. This makes full use of the space in the storage slot 11, which not only avoids the power cord from being damaged due to winding in a small space, but also makes it easier to bend the power cord in a larger space, making it easier to store the power cord.

[0045] In practical applications, the main body 2 is also equipped with a knife assembly. The knife assembly is provided with a sliding structure, and the knife is mounted on the sliding structure. The movable end of the sliding structure is connected to the power output end of the motor assembly, so that the sliding structure can drive the knife under the drive of the motor assembly to perform the cutting operation. The sliding structure can be set as a pulley and a slide rail, or a sliding sleeve and a slide rail. This is just an example. Other structures that can achieve the sliding function should also be included in this invention.

[0046] More specifically, the blade assembly is also provided with an upper cover 22, and the upper cover 22 is provided with a feeding channel 221 that connects to the blade assembly; preferably, the feeding channel 221 is inclined to the upper cover 22, thereby increasing the included angle between the upper cover 22 and the feeding channel 221, so that the feeding channel 221 faces the blade assembly, preventing the material from being ejected to the outside during the cutting operation; furthermore, the upper cover 22 is mounted on the main body 2 corresponding to the blade assembly, and the feeding channel 221 is connected to the blade of the blade assembly. The blade makes a linear sliding motion relative to the feeding channel or a rotational sliding motion relative to the feeding channel under the drive of the sliding structure. The present invention uses the linear sliding motion of the blade relative to the feeding channel as the preferred embodiment.

[0047] Preferably, it also includes a receiving box 4. The main body 2 is provided with a discharge port 21. The support frame 1 is provided with a fixing groove 10 through the discharge port 21. When the vegetable cutter is used for cutting, the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2 is set at an acute angle. The two ends of the receiving box 4 are respectively connected to the discharge port 21 and the fixing groove 10, thereby fixing it between the main body 2 and the support frame 1, and receiving the material that falls out of the discharge port 21, that is, the material that has been cut. When it is necessary to store the vegetable cutter, the receiving box 4 is sleeved on the feeding channel 221, and the support frame 1 is rotated so that the angle between the support frame 1 and the main body 2 is set at a flat angle, thereby storing the support frame 1 in the main body 2. Then, the power cord 3 is wound around the protrusion 12, and the power plug 31 is fixed in the socket 13, thereby fixing the power cord 3 in the storage groove 11, completing the storage of the vegetable cutter.

[0048] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0049] Although alternative embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make further changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the alternative embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that an article or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such an article or terminal device.
