Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household kitchen cooking technology, and particularly relates to a cutting and processing machine and its assembly method. Background Technology

[0002] A food preparation machine is a mechanical device used for cutting and portioning ingredients. It is commonly used in the food processing industry, especially in the catering industry and food processing plants. The main function of a food preparation machine is to cut ingredients into the required shapes and sizes and portion them into specific containers or packages. It can process various ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, meats, and cheeses. Food preparation machines are typically equipped with different types of blades to meet different cutting needs, such as shredders, slicers, and cubers. However, most food preparation machines currently on the market are commercial meat and vegetable cutters, which are bulky, complex in structure, difficult to operate, and have low safety standards, making them unsuitable for home use.

[0003] For food processing machines used in home settings, existing technologies disclose food processing machines that include functional modules for processing ingredients, all of which can be detachably placed on the machine body. When cutting vegetables, such as carrots, cucumbers, and potatoes, the functional modules use either a roller-type shredder or a roller-type slicer. However, in this application, only one of the roller-type shredder or the roller-type slicer can be used. If it is necessary to switch the food processing machine from shredding to slicing, the roller-type shredder must be switched to the roller-type slicer, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0081] This application describes a food preparation machine that can be installed on the countertop of a kitchen cabinet. This machine is capable of slicing meat and vegetables, effectively improving the efficiency of pre-cooking preparation, reducing the difficulty of cutting and preparing vegetables, and protecting the safety of novice cooks. At the same time, this embedded, concealed, and retractable design significantly saves overall kitchen space.

[0082] The present invention will be specifically illustrated below with reference to embodiments:

[0083] Example 1: Implementation method of lifting the cutting and processing machine

[0084] refer to Figure 1 , 2 The diagrams show the cutting and mixing machine 1 in two states: when the embedded water tank is closed and hidden for storage, and when it is raised and ready to work. That is, in the non-use state, the cutting and mixing machine 1 is in... Figure 1 In its current state, thanks to the electric folding lifting platform 6, the food processor 1 can be completely stored in the sink's secondary basin when not in use, saving kitchen space; in its operating state, the food processor 1 is in... Figure 2 In this configuration, when the cutting and processing machine is needed, simply raise the electric folding lifting platform, and the cutting and processing machine 1 can be easily placed on the workbench. This design makes the use of the cutting and processing machine 1 faster and more convenient.

[0085] refer to Figure 3 This demonstrates that the food preparation machine module, through its built-in electric folding lifting platform 6, controls the food preparation machine 1 module within the sink sub-sink 202, enabling it to rise for preparation and close for concealment. Further, this application employs an integrated, electrified sink sub-sink 202, embedded in the countertop of the cabinet 5. The food preparation machine 1 module is integrated into this electrified sink sub-sink 202, and the food preparation machine 1 is raised and lowered via the electric folding lifting platform 6. The food preparation machine 1 and the electric folding lifting platform 6 are installed within the sink sub-sink 202. After food preparation, the food preparation machine 1 can be rinsed with hot water using the extendable end of the faucet 3. The wastewater from rinsing flows through the sink sub-sink 202 into the drain pipe 4, ultimately draining out along with the water from the main sink 201. In addition, storing the food processor 1 in the secondary sink 202 avoids exposing it to the humid environment next to the main sink 201. This means that the food processor 1 can be rinsed only when needed, and using the main sink 201 to wash vegetables or dishes will not affect the food processor 1. This helps to extend the service life of the food processor and reduce the need for maintenance and upkeep.

[0086] refer to Figure 4 As can be seen, the food preparation machine 1 includes a housing 101, a control interface 102 mounted on the housing 101, a food cutting module 104, and a food retrieval area 103 located at the lower part of the housing 101. The control interface 102 may be implemented in various ways. This embodiment provides a solution for raising and lowering the electric folding lifting platform 6 via the control interface 102, but this does not mean that the control interface 102 is limited to this solution.

[0087] 1. Sensor Detection: Sensors are installed on the electric folding lifting platform 6 to detect the position and status of the cutting machine 1. For example, a proximity sensor can be used to detect whether the cutting machine 1 is fully retracted into the secondary water tank.

[0088] 2. Control System: The electric folding lifting platform 6 is equipped with an internal control system, which receives instructions from the control interface 102 and controls the movement of the lifting mechanism. The control system can be a microcontroller or other integrated circuit, capable of processing instructions and controlling outputs.

[0089] 3. Electric Lifting Mechanism: The electric folding lifting platform contains an electric lifting mechanism, which controls the lifting of the cutting machine via a drive device such as a motor. The drive device can move the cutting machine up or down according to received instructions.

[0090] 4. Feedback System: The control system can also communicate with the feedback system to obtain the current position information of the cutting and slicing machine. This ensures accurate lifting and lowering of the cutting and slicing machine and allows it to stop moving when necessary.

[0091] Example 2: Main Structure of the Cutting and Processing Machine

[0092] refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the food preparation machine 1 includes a housing 101, a cutting module 104, a pressing module 105, a transmission module 106, and a cutting motor 107. The cutting module 104 is used to cut the food into pieces; the pressing module 105 is used to press the food onto the cutting module 104; the transmission module 106 is used to rotate the cutting module 104; and the cutting motor 107 is used to provide power to the transmission module 106.

[0093] During operation, the vegetable cutting motor 107 is activated, driving the vegetable cutting module 104 to rotate via the transmission module 106. The vegetable pressing module 105 presses vegetables and other cutable foods onto the vegetable cutting module 104, which can cut vegetables into slices or strips. The outer casing 101 includes a main load-bearing plate 101a, a main load-bearing base plate 101b, a first main load-bearing side plate 101c, and a second main load-bearing side plate 101d. The vegetable cutting module 104, the vegetable pressing module 105, the transmission module 106, and the vegetable cutting motor 107 are all mounted on the main load-bearing plate 101a. The main load-bearing base plate 101b is located below the main load-bearing plate 101a, and the first and second main load-bearing side plates 101c and 101d on both sides of the main load-bearing base plate 101b support the main load-bearing plate 101a upwards, forming a vegetable picking area 103. An electronic scale 103a is also installed above the main load-bearing base plate 101b in the vegetable pick-up area 103 for weighing the cut vegetables or other food. The starting system of the vegetable cutting motor 107 can be integrated into the control interface 102, or a separate electronic control board can be set up to control the starting, rotation, forward and reverse behavior of the vegetable cutting motor 107.

[0094] refer to Figure 7 The outer casing 101 also includes a main load-bearing plate 101a for supporting the vegetable cutting module 104, the vegetable pressing module 105, the transmission module 106, and the vegetable cutting motor 107, covering the vegetable cutting module 104, the vegetable pressing module 105, the transmission module 106, and the vegetable cutting motor 107. A front cover plate 101g, a rear cover plate 101h, a left cover plate 101i, and a right cover plate 101j form a cover from the front, rear, left, and right directions, providing waterproofing and preventing water from entering the areas where the vegetable cutting module 104, the vegetable pressing module 105, the transmission module 106, and the vegetable cutting motor 107 are located. Furthermore, the front cover plate 101g has a food retrieval opening 101m in the area of ​​the food retrieval area 103, ensuring that the installation of the front cover plate 101g does not affect the user's ability to retrieve food from the food retrieval area 103.

[0095] refer to Figure 6 The outer casing 101 further includes a main load-bearing base plate 101b, and a first main load-bearing side plate 101c and a second main load-bearing side plate 101d disposed on the main load-bearing base plate 101b and used to support the main load-bearing plate 101a; a vegetable-taking area 103 is formed between the main load-bearing plate 101a and the main load-bearing base plate 101b. Further, the main load-bearing frame of the cutting and processing machine 1 is composed of the main load-bearing plate 101a, the main load-bearing base plate 101b, the first main load-bearing side plate 101c, and the second main load-bearing side plate 101d, wherein components such as the vegetable cutting module 104 and the vegetable pressing module 105 are all installed on the main load-bearing plate 101a. This installation method provides a stable, safe, and reliable structure, a simple process, and high production assembly efficiency.

[0096] refer to Figure 7 To further explain, the main body shell 101 of the cutting and slicing machine 1 is composed of a panel 101e, a bottom plate 101f, a front cover plate 101g, a rear cover plate 101h, a left cover plate 101i, and a right cover plate 101j. Its main shell assembly is simple and compact, and it has a sealed protection function for the internal structural module components.

[0097] Example 3: Vegetable cutting module of a vegetable cutting machine

[0098] In this embodiment, the vegetable cutting module 104 includes a blade fixing plate 104a, the blade fixing plate 104a having a vegetable feeding opening 104a1; a first blade 104b, mounted on the blade fixing plate 104a; the first blade 104b includes a first cutting edge 104b1, the first cutting edge 104b1 and the vegetable feeding opening 104a1 forming a slicing gap 104a2.

[0099] The second blade group 104c includes several small second blades 104c1, which are mounted on the blade fixing plate 104a. At least some of the small second blades 104c1 are adjacent to the vegetable opening 104a1 and the first cutting edge of the large blade 104b1 to form a slicing gap 104a3.

[0100] refer to Figure 15 The cutting module 104 includes a blade holder 104a, a first blade 104b, a second blade assembly 104c, a second blade holder 104d, a second blade holder 104e, and a pad 104f. When the blade holder 104a rotates in the AA' direction, the first blade 104b performs a slicing function. When vegetables or other cutable foods are pressed onto the blade holder 104a, and the food remains stationary while the blade holder 104a rotates, the first blade 104b will slice the food into pieces. When the blade fixing disc 104a rotates in the direction of BB', the first blade 104b, together with the second blade group 104c, performs the function of shredding. When vegetables or other cutable food are pressed on the blade fixing disc 104a, and the food remains stationary while the blade fixing disc 104a rotates, the first blade 104b, together with the second blade group 104c, will cut the food into shreds. The number of shreds depends on how many second blades 104c1 a second blade group 104c has. In this embodiment, a second blade group 104c has 20 second blades 104c1, so one cutting process can cut the food into 19 shreds of the same specification.

[0101] The first blade is a slicing blade or a shredding blade; the second blade is a shredding blade. The first blade is larger and mainly functions as a slicing blade, while the second blade is smaller and mainly functions as a shredding blade. When the second blade performs its shredding function, it needs to work in conjunction with the first blade, so the first blade also participates in some of the shredding work. Specifically, at least a portion of the adjacent second blade 104c1 forms a shredding gap 104a3 with the food inlet 104a1 and the first cutting edge 104b1. "At least a portion" means that it is permissible for some parts of the second blade not to form a shredding gap with the first blade. For example, the gaps formed by the second blade that do not form a shredding gap with the first blade can be used to perform comb-like cuts on the food.

[0102] In this embodiment, after the gasket 104f is fixed, it has the same axis as the blade fixing plate 104a and the first blade 104b. The thickness of the gasket 104f determines the length of the distance between the first blade 104b and the blade fixing plate 104a. This distance is the height of the slicing gap 104a2 formed by the first cutting edge 104b1 of the first blade 104b and the opening 104a1, which determines the thickness of the slice. It also determines the height of the shredding gap 104a3 formed by the two second blades 104c1 and the first cutting edge 104b1. In addition, the distance between the two second blades 104c1 also determines the width of the shredding gap 104a3, which determines the cross-sectional area of ​​the shredded product. In particular, the slicing gap 104a2 and the shredding gap 104a3 have opposite orientations on the blade fixing plate 104a. The term "opposite orientation" means that the slicing slit 104a2 and the shredding slit 104a3 are positioned in opposite directions on the blade holder 104a. For example, if the slicing slit 104a2 is oriented clockwise, the shredding slit 104a3 is oriented counterclockwise; conversely, if the slicing slit 104a2 is oriented counterclockwise, the shredding slit 104a3 is oriented clockwise. It's important to note that clockwise and counterclockwise orientations do not necessarily mean that the slicing slit 104a2 and shredding slit 104a3 form a strictly 180° angle. For instance, if the slicing slit 104a2 is oriented clockwise and the shredding slit 104a3 is oriented counterclockwise, and the shredding slit 104a3 is slightly raised, forming an angle less than 180° with the slicing slit 104a2. However, when the blade fixing disc 104a rotates counterclockwise, the slit 104a3 can still complete the slit cutting work, so it should be considered that the slit 104a3 is still in a counterclockwise orientation at this time.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the food preparation machine includes a vegetable cutting module 104. (See reference...) Figure 14 and Figure 15 The vegetable cutting module 104 includes: a blade fixing plate 104a with a vegetable inlet 104a1; a first blade 104b mounted on the blade fixing plate 104a; the first blade 104b includes a first cutting edge 104b1; the first cutting edge 104b1 and the vegetable inlet 104a1 form a slicing gap 104a2; and a second blade group 104c including a plurality of second blades 104c1 mounted on the blade fixing plate 104a, wherein two adjacent second blades 104c1, the vegetable inlet 104a1, and the first cutting edge 104b1 form a shredding gap 104a3.

[0104] As shown in the diagram, the first blade 104b has a symmetrical figure-eight structure with four sides, all of which are the first cutting edges 104b1. The first cutting edge 104b1 and the side of the food inlet 104a1 below it form an elongated slicing slit 104a2. The height of the slicing slit 104a2 determines the thickness of the food slices. The shape of the first blade 104b is basically the same as the shape of the food inlet 104a1, so that after the first blade 104b is installed on the blade holder 104a, it can just cover the food inlet 104a1, preventing food scraps from coming out of the food inlet 104a1 without being cut into pieces.

[0105] Preferably, the first blade 104b further includes two first blade heads 104b2 and four first cutting edges 104b1. One first cutting edge 104b1 is positioned on each side of the first blade head 104b2. This allows the first blade 104b to complete two slicing or shredding actions with each clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The vegetable cutting module 104 includes two second blade groups 104c, each positioned on one of the two first cutting edges 104b1 facing the same direction. "Facing the same direction" means that the cutting edges of both second blade groups 104c can perform a cutting action in the same rotation direction. This allows the blade fixing disc 104a to achieve two slicing or shredding actions with one rotation, further improving its vegetable cutting efficiency.

[0106] The second blade group 104c is disposed on one side of the food inlet 104a1. The second blade group 104c has a plurality of second blades 104c1. Two adjacent second blades 104c1, together with the first cutting edge 104b1 above them and the side of the food inlet 104a1 below them, form a rectangular slicing slit 104a3. It is easy to see that if there are n second blades, there are n-1 slicing slits 104a3. The slicing slits 104a3 can cut the food into quadrangular prisms with a bottom surface having the same shape as the slit. The side of the food inlet 104a1 itself does not participate in the cutting of the food. In this embodiment, the food inlet 104a1 serves to hold the bottom cut surface of the food to assist the first cutting edge 104b1 and the second blades 104c1 in cutting the food. However, in some embodiments, the food inlet 104a1 does not serve to block the bottom cut surface of the food, but can itself participate in forming the quadrangular prism shape of the slicing gap 104a3.

[0107] The blade disc structure also includes a shim 104f disposed between the blade fixing disc 104a and the first blade 104b. The shim 104f secures the first blade 104b to the blade fixing disc 104a at a certain distance, the size of which is determined by the thickness of the shim 104f. Furthermore, this distance determines the height of the slicing gap 104a2 and the shredding gap 104a3; by adjusting the thickness of the shim 104f, the final specifications of the food shreds or slices can be determined.

[0108] The cutting module 104 also includes a second blade holder 104d for fixing the second blade assembly 104c. The function of the second blade holder 104d is to first fix the second blade assembly 104c onto the second blade holder 104d, and then install the second blade holder 104d onto the blade fixing plate 104a. This way, when the blades 104c1 of the second blade assembly 104c become rusty or dull, the entire second blade assembly 104c can be easily removed from the blade fixing plate 104a by simply detaching the second blade holder 104d from the blade fixing plate 104a. Furthermore, the product can be equipped with multiple second blade holders 104d for mounting the second blade assembly 104c, allowing users to easily replace them at any time.

[0109] The blade holder 104a includes a holder screw hole 104a4; the second blade holder 104d includes a second blade holder first screw hole 104d1 for screwing the holder screw hole 104a4. When installing the blade holder 104a, it is only necessary to screw the holder screw hole 104a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole 104d1 together with bolts. Obviously, the holder screw hole 104a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole 104d1 have the same specifications.

[0110] The vegetable cutting module 104 also includes a second blade holder 104e disposed on the second blade holder 104d. The function of the second blade holder 104e is to further fix the position of the second blade assembly 104c on the second blade holder 104d, so that the blades remain stable during the vegetable cutting process and do not sway or tip over.

[0111] The second blade holder 104d also includes a second blade holder second screw hole 104d2; the second blade holder 104e also includes a second blade holder screw hole 104e1 for screwing the second blade holder second screw hole 104d2. Similar to the fixing method of the fixing disc screw hole 104a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole 104d1, the second blade holder 104e is fixed to the second blade holder 104d by aligning the second blade holder second screw hole 104d2 with the second blade holder screw hole 104e1 and fixing it by bolting.

[0112] Furthermore, the cutting and processing machine 1 also includes a discharge cylinder 109 located below the guide cylinder 101k. After the food is cut, it can enter the food collection area 103 through the discharge cylinder 109.

[0113] Example 4: The second blade assembly of the vegetable cutting module in a vegetable cutting machine

[0114] In this embodiment, the second blade assembly 104c is fixed to the blade fixing disk 104a by the second blade holder 104d and the second blade fixing bracket 104e. (See reference) Figure 16 During installation, the second blade assembly 104c is first installed on the second blade holder 104d, then the second blade holder 104d is installed on the second blade retainer 104e, and finally the second blade retainer 104e is installed on the blade retaining plate 104a to complete the installation of the second blade assembly 104c. Specifically, the second blade holder 104d also includes a second blade holder second screw hole 104d2; the second blade retainer 104e also includes a second blade retainer screw hole 104e1 for screwing the second blade holder second screw hole 104d2. Similar to the fixing method of the retaining plate screw hole 104a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole 104d1, the second blade retainer 104e is fixed to the second blade holder 104d by aligning the second blade holder second screw hole 104d2 with the second blade retainer screw hole 104e1 and fixing it with bolts.

[0115] The second blade holder 104e includes an upper fixing groove 104e2 for fixing the second blade assembly 104c. Specifically, refer to... Figure 18 When the second blade holder 104e is installed on the second blade holder 104d, the upper fixing groove 104e2 is first inserted into the second blade assembly 104c to fix the second blade assembly 104c perpendicular to its cutting surface. Then, the second screw hole 104d2 of the second blade holder is screwed together with the screw hole 104e1 of the second blade holder to complete the fixing. In this way, when the upper fixing groove 104e2 fixes each of the second blades 104c1 in the second blade assembly 104c, the second blades 104c1 will not tilt in the direction perpendicular to their cutting surface during the cutting process. Furthermore, the number of upper fixing grooves 104e2 is not less than the number of second blades 104c1, the spacing between each upper fixing groove 104e2 is equal to the spacing between each second blade 104c1, and the width of the upper fixing groove 104e2 is not less than the thickness of the second blade 104c1. Preferably, the number of upper fixing grooves 104e2 is equal to the number of lower fixing grooves 104d4. The number of second screw holes 104d2 in the second blade holder and the number of screw holes 104e1 in the second blade holder are equal.

[0116] Furthermore, the ratio of the number of second screw holes 104d2 to the number of second blades 104c1 in the second blade holder is 1:4, 1:5, or 1:6. Preferably, the ratio of the number of second screw holes 104d2 to the number of second blades 104c1 in the second blade holder is 1:5, which can make full use of the bolt's screw force to keep the second blades 104c1 stable.

[0117] refer to Figure 20 The second blade holder 104d includes a first screw hole 104d1, a second screw hole 104d2, a disassembly groove 104d3, and a lower fixing groove 104d4; the second blade holder 104e includes a second blade holder screw hole 104e1 and an upper fixing groove 104e2. During installation, the second blade assembly 104c is first inserted into the lower fixing groove 104d4. Then, the second blade holder screw hole 104e1 is aligned with the second screw hole 104d2 and secured with bolts, thereby fixing the blade assembly 104c together with the second blade holder 104d and the second blade holder 104e. Then, the first screw hole 104d1 of the second blade holder is aligned from below with the screw hole 104a4 of the fixing plate and secured with bolts, thus fixing the second blade holder 104d onto the blade fixing plate 104a.

[0118] refer to Figure 18 The second blade holder 104d also includes a disassembly groove 104d3 on the side of the holder. After the second blade holder 104e is installed on the second blade holder 104d, the second blade holder 104d and its associated second blade assembly 104c together secure the second blade holder 104e, making subsequent disassembly of the second blade holder 104e extremely difficult. The disassembly groove 104d3 extends through the side of the second blade holder 104d. When it is necessary to disassemble the second blade holder 104e, the user can use a tool with a small pointed tip to insert into the disassembly groove 104d3 and pry up the second blade holder 104e to complete the disassembly.

[0119] Example 5: Second blade structure of the second blade group of the vegetable cutting module of the vegetable cutting machine

[0120] refer to Figure 21 The second blade assembly 104c includes a second blade 104c1, a second cutting edge 104c2, a high cutting edge 104c3, an extension blade 104c4, and a crack-stopping circle 104c5. (Reference) Figure 18The second cutting edge 104c2 at least partially extends beyond the first cutting edge 104b1. Specifically, "exceeds" means that the second cutting edge 104c2 is at least partially not below the first cutting edge 104b1, meaning the second cutting edge 104c2 can contact the food before the first cutting edge. This achieves the following: the second cutting edge 104c2 first cuts the food into shreds, forming a comb-like shape, and then the first cutting edge 104b1 cuts each of the comb-like shapes into shreds. This prevents the food shreds from sticking together. Furthermore, this two-step shredding method significantly reduces the torque required by the cutting motor 107, effectively reducing the pressure on the motor torque, improving shredding efficiency, and preventing blade jamming.

[0121] In this embodiment, the second blade 104c1 further includes a high cutting edge 104c3 disposed on the second cutting edge 104c2, the high cutting edge 104c3 being at least partially higher than the first cutting edge 104b1. (Reference) Figure 16 The higher edge 104c3 than the first edge 104b1 means that the very top of the higher edge 104c3 is higher than the very top of the first edge 104b1. This ensures that when the first edge 104b1 cuts the comb teeth created by the second blade 104c1 in the first step, it cuts onto the comb teeth to form strands, rather than cutting directly onto the food, thus removing the comb teeth entirely and creating a shape similar to tripe. In summary, the higher edge 104c3 ensures that the cut vegetables are all separated into individual strands.

[0122] In addition, refer to Figure 21 The high-cutting edge 104c3 also forms an "L"-shaped notch with the top of the main body of the second blade 104c1 for mounting the first cutting edge 104b1. Multiple second blades 104c1 arranged side by side form an "L"-shaped groove for mounting the first cutting edge 104b1. When the first cutting edge 104b1 is mounted in the "L"-shaped groove, its downward or forward direction is restricted, improving the stability of the first cutting edge 104b1 during the food cutting process.

[0123] Furthermore, the anti-cracking circle 104c5 is located at the connection point between the second blade edge 104c2 and the extension piece 104c4. The anti-cracking circle 104c5 is designed at this location to effectively prevent the blade from cracking due to vertical force when it encounters food, thus providing a certain amount of room for the second blade 104c1 to move.

[0124] Example 5: Transmission Module of a Cutting and Processing Machine

[0125] In this embodiment, reference Figure 9The transmission module 106 includes a transmission shaft support frame 106a, a cutter head shaft support frame 106b, a motor gear 106c, a transmission gear 106d, a transmission shaft 106e, a cutter head shaft 106f, a transmission shaft bevel gear 106g, a cutter head shaft bevel gear 106h, a transmission shaft lock 106i, a cutter head shaft lock 106j, a synchronous belt 106k, a motor synchronous pulley 106m, and a transmission synchronous pulley 106n. Specifically, the transmission module 106 includes a horizontally arranged transmission shaft 106e, a vertically arranged cutter head shaft 106f, a transmission shaft bevel gear 106g disposed on the transmission shaft 106e, and a cutter head shaft bevel gear 106h disposed on the cutter head shaft 106f and used to mesh with the transmission shaft bevel gear 106g. The transmission module 106 further includes a motor gear 106c coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft of the vegetable cutting motor 107, and a transmission gear 106d coaxially mounted on the transmission shaft 106e and meshing with the motor gear 106c. The transmission module 106 also includes a transmission shaft support frame 106a rotatably mounting the transmission shaft 106e; a transmission shaft latch 106i mounted on the transmission shaft support frame 106a for rotatably mounting the transmission shaft 106e; a cutter head shaft support frame 106b rotatably mounting the cutter head shaft 106f; and a cutter head shaft latch 106j mounted on the cutter head shaft support frame 106b for rotatably mounting the cutter head shaft 106f. After the vegetable cutting motor 107 is started, it first drives the motor gear 106c to rotate. The transmission gear 106d meshes with the motor gear 106c, so the motor gear 106c can drive the transmission gear 106d to rotate. The transmission gear 106d has a fixing hole at its shaft center, which can be circumferentially fixed to the transmission shaft 106e. When the transmission gear 106d rotates, it can also drive the transmission shaft 106e to rotate. The transmission shaft bevel gear 106g is circumferentially fixed to the transmission shaft 106e. When the transmission shaft 106e rotates, it can also drive the transmission shaft bevel gear 106g to rotate. The drive shaft bevel gear 106g meshes with the cutter disc shaft bevel gear 106h, and the angle between the conical surfaces of the drive shaft bevel gear 106g and the cutter disc shaft bevel gear 106h and the axis is 45°. In this way, the vertical rotation of the drive shaft bevel gear 106g can be transmitted to the cutter disc shaft bevel gear 106h and make it rotate laterally. The cutter disc shaft bevel gear 106h is circumferentially fixed to the cutter disc shaft 106f. When the cutter disc shaft bevel gear 106h rotates, it can also drive the cutter disc shaft 106f to rotate. The upper end of the cutter disc shaft 106f is circumferentially fixed to the cutting module 104. When the cutter disc shaft 106f rotates, it can also drive the cutting module 104 to rotate.

[0126] Furthermore, the transmission module 106 also includes a motor synchronous pulley 106m coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft of the vegetable cutting motor 107, a transmission synchronous pulley 106n coaxially mounted on the transmission shaft 106e, and a synchronous belt 106k connecting the motor synchronous pulley 106m and the transmission synchronous pulley 106n. The motor gear 106c and transmission gear 106d can be replaced with the motor synchronous pulley 106m and the transmission synchronous pulley 106n, respectively, and a taut synchronous belt 106k can be installed between the motor synchronous pulley 106m and the transmission synchronous pulley 106n to achieve the aforementioned transmission effect. Moreover, the synchronous pulley transmission method optimizes the gear transmission method, effectively reducing the meshing noise caused by gear transmission, and also effectively reducing the vibration generated when the gear set of the vegetable cutter meshes. This improves the user experience of the household vegetable cutter, as low noise and low vibration are excellent conditions for home kitchen cooking operations.

[0127] Example 6: Vegetable pressing module of a vegetable cutting machine

[0128] In this embodiment, reference Figure 11 The pressing module 105 includes a pull rod panel 105d, a pressing block part 105e, an inner rod 105f, and an outer rod 105g; the outer shell 101 also includes a panel 101e and a guide cylinder 101k. Specifically, the outer shell 101 includes a panel 101e and a guide cylinder 101k disposed on the panel 101e for placing the food.

[0129] Specifically, the pressing module 105 includes a pull rod panel 105d; a pressing block portion 105e, mounted on the pull rod panel 105d and used to apply pressure to the food; an inner rod 105f, located at the lower end of the pull rod panel 105d; an outer rod 105g, used to sleeve the inner rod 105f; a blade fixing plate 104a, located below the pressing block portion 105e and used to receive the food under pressure applied by the pressing block portion 105e; the pressing block portion 105e includes an elastic module for providing elastic force to propel the inner rod 105f into the outer rod 105g; the pressing block portion 105e includes a pressing block 105e2, and a pressing handle 105e1 disposed on the pressing block 105e2 for resisting the elastic force of the elastic module.

[0130] In this embodiment, the pressure applied by the pressing module 105 to the food is always directed towards the blade fixing plate 104a. In this embodiment, the pressure applied by the pressing module 105 is downwards, meaning the blade fixing plate 104a is located below the pressing module 105. This allows the pressing process to utilize almost all of the food's weight for cutting. In other embodiments, the pressing module 105 and the blade fixing plate 104a can be tilted at approximately the same angle, which also allows the pressing process to utilize a portion of the food's weight for cutting, or to cut against a portion of the food's weight.

[0131] The insertion design of the inner rod 105f and the outer rod 105g ensures that the pressure on the food is always perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the blade fixing plate 104a, making the cutting process of the blade fixing plate 104a smoother. In this embodiment, the blade fixing plate 104a has a knife for cutting food, and the specific structure of the knife can be referred to in Embodiment 3. In other embodiments, the knife of the blade fixing plate 104a may also have other structures, but as long as it can achieve the function of cutting food, it should be one of the forms of the blade fixing plate 104a.

[0132] The elastic module enables the inner rod 105f and the outer rod 105g to retract inward, thus giving the composite rod, formed by the inner rod 105f and the outer rod 105g, the ability to elastically extend and retract inward. The elastic module can be located inside or outside the composite rod, but as long as it can achieve the above function, it should be considered one form of elastic module.

[0133] The pressing block 105e2 is a structure that directly contacts the food. Its main function is to transfer the elastic force of the elastic module to the food, thereby achieving a squeezing effect. The shape of the pressing block 105e2 should conform to the shape of most foods, such as a cubic structure, an elliptical structure, or any other structural form that can achieve the above function. The function of the pressing handle 105e1 is to counteract the elastic force of the elastic module, so that the pressing block 105e2 can be separated from the food, or to provide sufficient space between the pressing block 105e2 and the blade fixing plate 104a for placing the food. The pressing handle 105e1 can be a different structure set on the pressing block 105e2, or a groove or protrusion formed by the pressing block 105e2 itself, or a part of the shape of the pressing block 105e2 itself. As long as it can achieve the above function, it should be one of the forms of the pressing handle 105e1.

[0134] In addition, the spring module includes a tension spring upper hanging pin 105h disposed in the hollow cavity of the inner rod 105f, a tension spring lower hanging pin 105i disposed in the hollow cavity of the outer rod 105g, and a tension spring 105j with its two ends respectively hanging on the tension spring upper hanging pin 105h and the tension spring lower hanging pin 105i.

[0135] In this embodiment, the spring module is in the form of a tension spring 105j disposed in the inner rod 105f and the outer rod 105g. The function of the tension spring 105j is that even when the inner rod 105f is fully inserted into the outer rod 105g with the tension spring 105j present, or when the pressing block 105e2 is almost in contact with the blade fixing plate 104a, the tension spring 105j still has sufficient elastic tension to meet the needs of the cutting process. Furthermore, the tension spring 105j should also have a sufficiently large deformation space and elastic limit to ensure that the pressing handle 105e1 can be lifted smoothly and that the food can be placed between the pressing block 105e2 and the blade fixing plate 104a.

[0136] The method of using the vegetable pressing module 105 is as follows: when cutting vegetables, first put the food into the guide cylinder 101k, then press down the vegetable pressing part 105e. The inner rod 105f slides inside the outer rod 105g, so that the inner rod 105f and the outer rod 105g are shortened as a whole, thereby making the vegetable pressing part 105e closer to the vegetable cutting module 104 below, thus pressing the food onto the vegetable cutting module 104.

[0137] Further, refer to Figure 12 The pressing module 105 also includes an upper tension spring pin 105h, a lower tension spring pin 105i, and a tension spring 105j. Specifically, the pressing module 105 further includes an upper tension spring pin 105h disposed in the hollow cavity of the inner rod 105f, a lower tension spring pin 105i disposed in the hollow cavity of the outer rod 105g, and a tension spring 105j with its two ends respectively attached to the upper tension spring pin 105h and the lower tension spring pin 105i. When cutting vegetables, simply lift the pressing part 105e to expose the opening on the guide cylinder 101k and place the food into the guide cylinder 101k. Then, release the pressing part 105e. The tension spring 105j pulls the upper tension spring pin 105h and the lower tension spring pin 105i together, causing the pressing part 105e to press the food downward.

[0138] Example 7: Vegetable pressing section of the vegetable pressing module of the vegetable cutting and processing machine

[0139] In this embodiment, reference Figure 12The pressing unit 105e includes a pressing handle 105e1, a pressing block 105e2, a pressing spring 105e3, an upper spring groove 105e4, a transmission slide 105e5, and a lower spring groove 105e7. Specifically, the pressing unit 105e includes a pressing block 105e2 and a pressing handle 105e1 disposed on the pressing block 105e2.

[0140] When cutting vegetables, lift the vegetable pressing handle 105e1 to move the vegetable pressing block 105e2 upward. At the same time, pull the lever panel 105d upward to expose the opening on the guide cylinder 101k and put the food into the guide cylinder 101k. Then release the vegetable pressing handle 105e1. The vegetable pressing block 105e2 presses the food downward under the action of the vegetable pressing spring 105e3. When the lever panel 105d falls to the bottom, the vegetable pressing spring 105e3 can continue to act on the vegetable pressing block 105e2 to press the food downward until all the food is shredded or diced by the vegetable cutting module 104.

[0141] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressing block 105e2 has an arc-shaped protrusion, which can press the vegetable onto the blade well, so that the vegetable is cut more completely and no leftover vegetables are left.

[0142] Furthermore, the pressing part 105e includes a pressing block 105e2 and a pressing spring 105e3 for pressing the pressing block 105e2 downward. Under the downward pressure of the pressing spring 105e3, the pressing block 105e2 can automatically press onto the food, so that it can be sliced ​​or shredded.

[0143] Furthermore, the pressing block portion 105e also includes a pressing handle 105e1 disposed on the pressing block 105e2. Pulling up the pressing handle 105e1 allows the inner rod 105f to be pulled out from the outer rod 105g, making it convenient to place food underneath it.

[0144] Furthermore, the pressing block part 105e also includes an upper spring groove 105e4 for mounting the pressing spring 105e3, and a transmission slide 105e5 disposed at the lower end of the pressing handle 105e1 and used to connect the pressing block 105e2. Pulling up the pressing handle 105e1 allows the pressing block 105e2 to move upward against the pressing spring 105e3, making it easier to place food underneath.

[0145] Furthermore, the pressing block part 105e also includes a transmission slide sleeve 105e6 on which the transmission slide 105e5 is axially slidably mounted. The transmission slide sleeve 105e6 can guide the movement direction of the transmission slide 105e5, so that its movement direction is always perpendicular to the upper end face of the pressing block 105e2.

[0146] Furthermore, the pressing block portion 105e also includes a lower spring groove 105e7 disposed on the pressing block 105e2 and used to install the pressing spring 105e3. The lower spring groove 105e7 can cooperate with the upper spring groove 105e4 to circumferentially fix the pressing spring 105e3, so that its extension and contraction direction is always perpendicular to the upper end face of the pressing block 105e2.

[0147] Furthermore, the minimum inner diameter of the lower spring groove 105e7 is greater than the maximum outer diameter of the upper spring groove 105e4. This design allows the upper spring groove 105e4 to enter the lower spring groove 105e7 when the food pressing spring 105e3 is compressed to a certain extent, thereby further compressing the food pressing spring 105e3 to accumulate elastic potential energy.

[0148] Example 8: Self-resetting component of the vegetable cutting module of a food processor

[0149] refer to Figure 22 The self-resetting assembly 104g includes an upper magnet mounting piece 104g1, a lower magnet mounting piece 104g2, an upper magnet 104g3, a lower magnet 104g4, a positioning pin 104g5, and a positioning pin seat 104g6. The upper magnet mounting piece 104g1 is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the pull rod panel 105d. The positioning pin 104g5 is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the upper magnet mounting piece 104g1. The positioning pin seat 104g6 rotatably mounts the positioning pin 104g5, allowing the positioning pin 104g5 to rotate freely on the positioning pin seat 104g6. The upper magnet 104g3 is disposed on the upper magnet mounting piece 104g1, and the lower magnet 104g4 is disposed on the lower magnet mounting piece 104g2. The upper magnet 104g3 and the lower magnet 104g4 have a mutual attraction effect; for example, the N pole of the upper magnet 104g3 is directly opposite the S pole of the lower magnet 104g4. When the upper magnet 104g3 and the lower magnet 104g4 attract each other, the placement area 104a5 is positioned directly below the guide cylinder 101k. This design helps prevent the food from being directly placed onto the first blade 104b, effectively preventing the food from bouncing due to the rotation of the blade fixing plate 104a. This function is primarily achieved through the attraction between the upper and lower magnets. When the blade fixing plate 104a stops, the attraction between the opposite magnetic poles causes the placement area 104a5 of the blade fixing plate 104a to naturally align with the feed inlet.
