Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, and more specifically to a cutting and preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the increase in labor costs, people are using machines to replace manual labor in order to save labor and reduce costs. In order to improve the efficiency of pre-meal food processing, kitchen food preparation machines have been developed to cut and process food.

[0003] Existing food processing machines are primarily single-stage cutting machines, meaning they only have a single food cutting module to cut the received ingredients. This results in both vegetables and meat being cut through the same module. Firstly, this prevents the customization of the blade structure based on the characteristics and needs of different types of food. Secondly, the cutting module used for meat often retains some oily residue, which can negatively impact the taste of vegetables. This severely affects the customer experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a cutting and preparation device with two cutting modules.

[0121] The present invention will be specifically illustrated below with reference to embodiments:

[0122] Example:

[0123] Cutting and processing equipment (e.g., attached) Figures 1 to 3 The cutting and shredding machine 1 shown in the attached diagram Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a first cutting module that receives meat ingredients to be cut and adapts and cuts them; a second cutting module that receives vegetable ingredients to be cut and adapts and cuts them; and a vegetable pick-up frame c for receiving the cut ingredients.

[0124] Meat, primarily derived from animals such as beef, pork, and chicken, typically contains muscle fibers and fascia, exhibiting elasticity and toughness, thus presenting a degree of difficulty in cutting. Furthermore, meat may contain a significant amount of fat, easily resulting in grease buildup during cutting. Vegetables, on the other hand, mainly come from plants, such as fruits and vegetables, and generally lack muscle fibers and fascia, making them easier to cut. Moreover, vegetables typically contain less fat, reducing the likelihood of grease buildup during cutting. Based on these differences in characteristics, the cutting structure for meat and vegetables needs to be specifically designed for each. This results in a first cutting module adapted for meat and a second cutting module adapted for vegetables. The specific structures of these modules can be customized by those skilled in the art based on the cutting requirements of the ingredients, or can be tailored according to the descriptions below.

[0125] By setting up a first cutting module suitable for cutting meat and a second cutting module suitable for cutting vegetables, it's not only convenient to set blades for meat in the first module and for vegetables in the second, but also allows for targeted selection of the appropriate cutting module based on whether the food is meat or vegetables. This improves the adaptability of the cutting process and enhances the cutting results. Furthermore, the cutting areas for meat and vegetables do not interfere with each other, preventing any negative impact on the taste of the vegetables during cutting.

[0126] Meanwhile, the first and second cutting modules share the same food collection chamber. The first cutting module has a first outlet for discharging cut meat, and the second cutting module has a second outlet for discharging cut vegetables. The food collection frame c is configured to match the first and second cutting modules, and has a food collection chamber c1 with a side opening. The food collection chamber c1 is connected to the first outlet, allowing cut vegetables from the first cutting module to fall into the food collection chamber c1. The food collection chamber c1 is also connected to the second outlet, allowing cut vegetables from the second cutting module to fall into the food collection chamber c1. The specific connection method could be, for example, direct connection via an opening or connection via a pipe; no specific description is provided here. This eliminates the need for multiple bulky food collection chambers c1, improving the overall compactness of the cutting equipment, simplifying its overall size, and reducing the limitations imposed by environmental space on its placement.

[0127] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cutting and slicing machine 1 can be raised and lowered and placed on the countertop.

[0128] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , 2 With 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 use, 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.

[0129] refer to Figure 2This 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.

[0130] refer to Figure 3 As can be seen, the food preparation machine 1 includes a housing 101 (shell j), a control interface 10m2 mounted on the housing 101 (shell j), and a food cutting module 10m4, and a food retrieval area 103 (retrieving cavity c1) located at the lower part of the housing 101 (shell j). The control interface 10m2 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 10m2, but this does not mean that the control interface 10m2 is limited to this solution.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 2. Control System: The electric folding lifting platform 6 is equipped with an internal control system to receive instructions from the control interface 10m2 and control the movement of the lifting mechanism. The control system can be a microcontroller or other integrated circuit, capable of processing instructions and controlling outputs.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] Furthermore, for the first cutting and matching module, as shown in the appendix... Figure 4 To be continued Figure 21 As shown:

[0136] It mainly includes a knife and chopping board module mounting base a, a knife and chopping board module b installed above the knife and chopping board module mounting base a, and a food scooping frame c installed below the knife and chopping board module mounting base a.

[0137] The cutting board module b has an inlet for receiving food to be cut and an outlet for the food to flow out. A set of blades for cutting the received food is installed in the connecting channel between the inlet and outlet. Meanwhile, the food retrieval frame c has a food retrieval cavity c1 with a side opening, which is connected to the outlet via the cutting board module mounting base a; more precisely, for example, with... Figure 6 As shown, the cutting board module mounting base a has a material passage hole a101 that is aligned with the material outlet of the cutting board module b. The material outlet is connected to the food taking chamber c1 through the material passage hole a101, so that the food in the cutting board module b can be output from the material outlet, pass through the material passage hole a101, pass through the cutting board module mounting base a, and then fall into the food taking chamber c1.

[0138] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 To be continued Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting board module includes two spaced-apart cutting board side plates b1 and two spaced-apart cutting board fixing plates b2. Each cutting board fixing plate b2 is simultaneously connected to both cutting board side plates b1, so that the two cutting board side plates b1 and the two cutting board fixing plates b2 together form a vertically penetrating receiving area. At this time, the upper opening of the receiving area is the inlet for receiving the food to be cut, and the lower opening of the receiving area is the outlet for the food to flow out. The food to be cut can enter the receiving area vertically from the upper opening and flow out from the lower opening to the material passage hole a101, and then fall into the food retrieval cavity c1.

[0139] At this time, as attached Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the accommodating area is provided with a first knife group b3 and a second knife group b4 arranged adjacently to cut the food together.

[0140] The first blade assembly b3 includes a first rotating shaft b301 that is rotatably connected to both blade side plates b1. Along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft b301 (e.g., attached...), Figure 8 Several first blades b302 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction shown in the diagram. In order to improve the tightness of the installation of the first blades b302 and at the same time avoid adjacent first blades b302 from getting too close to each other, a first spacer b303 is installed on the first rotating shaft b301 to separate two adjacent first blades b302 on the first rotating shaft b301.

[0141] The second blade assembly b4 includes a second rotating shaft b401 that is rotatably connected to both blade side plates b1 and preferably parallel to the first rotating shaft b301. Along the extension direction of the second rotating shaft b401 (e.g., attached...), Figure 8 Several second blades b402 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction shown in the diagram. In order to improve the tightness of the installation of the second blades b402 and at the same time avoid adjacent second blades b402 from getting too close to each other, a second spacer b403 is installed on the second rotating shaft b401 to separate two adjacent second blades b402 on the second rotating shaft b401.

[0142] The first blade group b3 and the second blade group b4 are as shown in the attached document. Figure 8 The adjacent arrangement shown enables the first blade group b3 and the second blade group b4 to rotate synchronously toward the junction of the two blade groups (the area between the two blade groups). This allows the food that has fallen onto the blade groups to move to the junction of the blade groups as they rotate, so that the first blade group b3 and the second blade group b4 can simultaneously squeeze and cut the food under the drive of rotation.

[0143] At this point, a transmission structure needs to be set on the cutting board module b so that the cutting board rotation motor e can drive the two cutting boards to rotate synchronously.

[0144] As attached Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the first rotating shaft b301 passes through a knife-and-cutter side plate b1 and is fixedly connected to a first transmission member b5 (preferably a transmission wheel), while the other end passes through another knife-and-cutter side plate b1 and is fixedly connected to a power supply (e.g., attached). Figure 6 The drive component b6 (preferably a drive wheel) is connected to the tool assembly rotation motor e, which is fixedly attached to the base plate a1. Simultaneously, the second rotating shaft b401 has one end near the first drive component b5, which extends through a tool holder side plate b1 and is fixedly connected to a second drive component b7 (preferably a drive wheel). The first drive component b5 and the second drive component b7 are connected in a driving connection.

[0145] The first transmission component b5, the driving component b6, and the second transmission component b7 are all preferably gears. The first transmission component b5 and the second transmission component b7 are meshed and connected, and the driving component b6 can be meshed and connected with a gear connected to the shaft of the tool assembly rotating motor e.

[0146] The drive component b6, which enables the rotation of the tool feed motor e, and the first and second transmission components b5 and b7, which connect the two tool feeds, are both located outside the accommodating area. This avoids interference between the drive structure and the tool feeds within the accommodating area, ensuring the stability of the tool feed operation. Furthermore, separating the drive component b6 from the first and second transmission components b5 and b7 prevents interference between the transmission connections between the first and second transmission components b5 and the drive connection of the drive component b6.

[0147] To enable the first blade assembly b3 and the second blade assembly b4 to rotate at synchronous speeds, thereby improving cutting stability and cutting effect, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the first transmission component b5 is the same as the outer diameter of the second transmission component b7.

[0148] Preferably, the knife and chopping board fixing plate b2 can be detachably connected to the knife and chopping board side plate b1 by screws.

[0149] The cutting board fixing plate b2 may also have a portion placed between two spaced cutting board side plates b1 to prevent the two cutting board side plates b1 from getting close to each other, thereby causing interference to the cutting board assembly in the receiving area and ensuring the stability of the cutting board assembly.

[0150] As attached Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the handling of the knife and chopping board module b, the upper end of the knife and chopping board side plate b1 can be formed with a support part b105 protruding outward. The support part b105 can be formed by bending the upper end of the knife and chopping board side plate b1 outward.

[0151] Meanwhile, as attached Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the knife and chopping board fixing plate b2 is formed with a first protective part b201 protruding towards the receiving area, which can form a protection and reduce the possibility of injury caused by the hands being scratched by the knife assembly when the knife and chopping board module b is moved and the hands are put into the receiving area.

[0152] Similarly, the lower end of the knife and tack fixing plate b2 can also be formed with a second protective part b202 protruding towards the receiving area, further reducing the possibility of injury caused by the hands reaching into the receiving area and scraping the knife assembly when the knife and tack module b is moved.

[0153] Considering that food residue will accumulate in the cutting module b after a period of cutting, it is necessary to periodically remove the cutting module b for cleaning. Therefore, it is preferable to conveniently install the cutting module b into the cutting module mounting base a, so that the cutting module b and the cutting module mounting base a together form a cutting module assembly that facilitates the installation / removal of the cutting module b.

[0154] To be precise, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 As shown, both sides of the knife and chopping board module b are provided with mounting portions b104 that protrude outwards. In this embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 7 As shown, a mounting part b104 is protruding on the outer side surface of the left knife and chopping board side plate b1, and a mounting part b104 is protruding on the outer side surface of the right knife and chopping board side plate b1.

[0155] Meanwhile, as attached Figure 6 As shown, the knife and chopping board module mounting base a includes a base plate a1, and two limiting plates a2 are disposed on both sides of the knife and chopping board module b and fixed to the base plate a1 at intervals. Each limiting plate a2 is provided with an upwardly opening positioning and locking groove a201 that matches the locking part b104. In this embodiment, one limiting plate a2 is adapted to the attached... Figure 7 A left-side cutting board b1 is provided, and a positioning plate a2 is provided with a positioning slot a201 that matches the mounting part b104 on the left-side cutting board b1; another positioning plate a2 is adapted to attach... Figure 7 A right-side cutting board b1 is provided, and a positioning slot a201 is provided on the right-side cutting board b1 matching the mounting part b104 on the cutting board b1.

[0156] The cutting board module b is positioned and accommodated from top to bottom within the limiting space between the two limiting plates a2, and the mounting part b104 is fitted and mounted from top to bottom into the positioning mounting slot a201. The cutting board module b can be disassembled by vertically moving it away from the limiting plates a2. This improves the ease of installation and disassembly of the cutting board module b.

[0157] Furthermore, the knife and chopping board module assembly may also include fasteners for detachably fixing the limiting plate a2 to the knife and chopping board module b, preferably screws.

[0158] Simultaneously considering the support portion b105 on the cutting board module b, the limiting plate a2 can be provided with a support portion a202 adapted to provide bottom support for the support portion b105, thereby improving the limiting stability of the cutting board module b and thus improving the stability of food cutting. In this case, it is preferable that screw fasteners are simultaneously screwed into both the support portion b105 and the support portion a202, reducing the possibility of fasteners interfering with the knife assembly by penetrating the receiving area of ​​the cutting board module b.

[0159] To improve the smoothness of the installation process, as shown in the attached document... Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 As shown, the outer periphery of the mounting part b104 is circular, and the bottom surface of the positioning mounting groove a201 is an arc-shaped surface that adapts to the outer periphery of the mounting part b104.

[0160] At this time, in order to prevent the cutting board module b from rotating relative to the limiting plate a2, at least two mounting parts b104 are provided on both sides of the cutting board module b, and each limiting plate a2 is provided with two positioning mounting slots a201; during installation, one positioning mounting slot a201 is adapted to mount one mounting part b104.

[0161] Furthermore, the limiting plate a2 is installed on the base plate a1 according to the cutting board module b, so that when the cutting board module b can be limited and accommodated from top to bottom in the limiting accommodating space between the two limiting plates a2, the limiting plate a2 has a part that fits against the cutting board module b, so as to further improve the stability of the installation of the cutting board module b.

[0162] The limiting plate a2 is preferably detachably fixed to the base plate a1 by means of screws, for example, so as to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the limiting plate a2, or to adapt and replace it.

[0163] To improve the balance of force distribution during the installation of the cutting board module b, the mounting portions b104 on one side of the cutting board module b and the mounting portions b104 on the other side are preferably arranged symmetrically. At the same time, to ensure that the base plate a1 is also subjected to more balanced force, the two limiting plates a2 are also preferably arranged symmetrically on the base plate a1.

[0164] Based on the above, considering that when food falls directly onto the two knife sets, the food is prone to scattering outwards, resulting in low utilization of the food and easy contamination of the knife and chopping board module b.

[0165] As attached Figure 6 As shown, a guide comb d is provided for installation on the knife group (such as the first knife group b3 or the second knife group b4 mentioned above). It guides the food to be cut to move to the food cutting area of ​​the knife group (in this embodiment, it refers to the adjacent part of the first knife group b3 and the second knife group b4) and guides the cut food to flow out to the food taking cavity c1.

[0166] Specifically, each guide comb d includes several comb rods d1, and each comb rod d1 includes: a connecting section d101 that can be accommodated in the interval area between adjacent blades in the blade assembly; the upper end of the connecting section d101 extends upward to form a first guide section d102 that extends upward through the interval area and guides the food to be cut to move to the food cutting area; the lower end of the connecting section d101 extends downward to form a second guide section 103 that extends downward through the interval area and guides the cut food to flow out in a directional manner. In this embodiment, the second guide section 103 extends downward through the feed hole a101 to the food receiving cavity c1 to guide the cut food to flow out in a directional manner into the food receiving cavity c1, and a bowl that receives the food flowing out of the second guide section 103 can be placed at a corresponding position in the food receiving cavity c1.

[0167] The connecting section d101 is set at an angle to the first guide section d102 and the second guide section 103. The specific size of the angle is set according to the structure of the blade assembly and the desired direction of guiding the food.

[0168] When a flow guide comb d is adapted and installed on the first blade group b3, the connecting section d101 of the flow guide comb d is placed in the interval area between adjacent first blades b302. The first flow guide section d102 of the flow guide comb d prevents the food from rolling from the first blade group b3 to the outside of the blade group and guides the food to flow towards the adjacent area of ​​the first blade group b3 and the second blade group b4 under its own weight. The second flow guide section 103 of the flow guide comb d receives the cut food after it has been cut at the adjacent area of ​​the first blade group b3 and the second blade group b4 and falls downward under its own weight, and guides the cut food to flow out in a direction into the food taking cavity c1.

[0169] Similarly, when a guide comb d is adapted and installed on the second blade group b4, the connecting section d101 of the guide comb d is placed in the interval area between adjacent second blades b402. The first guide section d102 of the guide comb d prevents the food from rolling from the second blade group b4 to the outside of the blade group and guides the food to flow towards the adjacent part of the second blade group b4 under its own weight. The second guide section 103 of the guide comb d receives the cut food after it has been cut at the adjacent part of the second blade group b4 and falls downward under its own weight, and guides the cut food to flow out into the food taking cavity c1.

[0170] Of course, in order to improve the guiding effect on the ingredients, further reduce the possibility of the ingredients scattering outwards, and improve the utilization rate of the ingredients.

[0171] There are two flow guide combs d. One flow guide comb d is adapted to be installed in the first blade group b3, and the other flow guide comb d is adapted to be installed in the second blade group b4. A limiting flow guide channel f is formed between the first flow guide sections d102 of the two flow guide combs d to limit and guide the food to be cut. A limiting flow guide channel g is formed between the second flow guide sections 103 of the two flow guide combs d to limit and guide the food after cutting.

[0172] Furthermore, for any flow guide comb d, it also includes a mounting rod d2, and several comb rods d1 are fixed to a mounting rod d2. This facilitates the installation of the mounting rod d2 while enabling the simultaneous assembly of several comb rods d1, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0173] Furthermore, the comb member d1 can be an integrated member or an assembly.

[0174] In this embodiment, the comb rod d1 is assembled from a support rod d01 and a protective sleeve d02 fitted around the support rod d01. Depending on its location, the assembled comb rod d1 has the aforementioned connecting section d101, first guide section d102, and second guide section 103. The support rod d01 is preferably made of a metal or plastic with high hardness to provide stable guiding support; the protective sleeve d02 is preferably made of a material such as rubber or silicone that can produce elastic deformation, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the comb rod d1.

[0175] Meanwhile, the connecting section d101 can be provided with a scraper part d104 that fits and adheres to the blade on the side close to the adjacent blade. When the blade rotates, the scraper part d104 can scrape the blade that is in contact with it, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the blade. This causes food residue on the blade to gather and fall off under the push of the scraper part d104, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth on the blade and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0176] Of course, the connecting section d101 is placed in the interval area between two adjacent blades, and there is an adjacent blade on both sides of it. Therefore, scraper sections d104 can be provided on both sides of the connecting section d101.

[0177] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the comb member d1, the connecting section d101 of the comb member d1 has an overlapping portion, which overlaps onto the rotating shaft adapted to install the blade assembly. That is, the connecting section d101 of the guide comb d adapted to be installed on the first blade assembly b3 overlaps onto the first rotating shaft b301, and the connecting section d101 of the guide comb d adapted to be installed on the second blade assembly b4 overlaps onto the second rotating shaft b401.

[0178] Meanwhile, considering the design of the spacer structure, in this embodiment, the overlapping portion overlaps with the spacer to act on the rotating shaft. That is, the connecting section d101 of the guide comb d adapted to be installed on the first cutter group b3 overlaps with the first rotating shaft b301 through the first spacer b303, and the connecting section d101 of the guide comb d adapted to be installed on the second cutter group b4 overlaps with the second rotating shaft b401 through the second spacer b403.

[0179] Considering the convenience of the overall structure, in order to avoid the need for an additional installation structure for the flow guide comb d, the mounting rod d2 of the flow guide comb d can be adapted to the blade side plate b1 that is detachably or non-detachably fixed to the end of the blade assembly, so as to limit the position of the flow guide comb d.

[0180] Considering the periodic cleaning requirements of the guide comb d, the mounting rod d2 is preferably fixed to the side plate b1 of the cutter assembly end by screws or the comb fixing structure described below.

[0181] The comb retaining structure in this embodiment includes a mounting groove b101, a limiting pin b102, and a limiting pin elastic element b103.

[0182] Specifically, a mounting slot b101 is provided on the side plate b1 of the cutting board, and the mounting rod d2 of the guide comb d is fitted and mounted thereon. The end of the mounting rod d2 is fitted from top to bottom into the upward-opening mounting slot b101. One end of the limiting pin b102 is slidably inserted into one side wall of the mounting slot b101; preferably, a spring-loaded limiting pin elastic element b103 is connected between the limiting pin b102 and the side plate b1 of the cutting board, and elastically drives the other end of the limiting pin b102 to abut against the other side wall of the mounting slot b101, so that the inner wall of the mounting slot b101 and the limiting pin b102 together form a limiting accommodating space for the mounting rod d2.

[0183] By driving the limiting pin b102 to slide in one side wall of the mounting slot b101, the opening of the mounting slot b101 can be opened or closed, so that the mounting rod d2 can be vertically disengaged from the mounting slot b101 or the mounting rod d2 can be limited and fixed.

[0184] At least one end of the mounting rod d2 is connected to a knife-cutter side plate b1 through the aforementioned knife comb fixing structure. That is, one end of the mounting rod d2 can be detachably clamped into the clamping groove b101 of a knife-cutter side plate b1, and the other end can be directly overlapped or inserted into another knife-cutter side plate b1.

[0185] In this embodiment, preferably, one end of the mounting rod d2 is detachably connected to one blade side plate b1 via the aforementioned blade comb fixing structure, and the other end is also detachably connected to another blade side plate b1 via the same blade comb fixing structure. This achieves synchronous installation and limiting of both ends of the mounting rod d2, improving the stability of the guide blade comb d installation.

[0186] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one side wall of the mounting slot b101 includes an insertion portion b1011, which may be part of the support portion b105 or a structure independently disposed on the support portion b105. The insertion portion b1011 has an insertion groove b1012 with an opening facing the other side wall of the mounting slot b101; a limiting pin b102 is slidably inserted into the insertion groove b1012, and a limiting pin elastic member b103 is disposed between the limiting pin b102 and the inner wall of the insertion groove b1012.

[0187] Furthermore, the insertion part b1011 in this embodiment includes: an insertion part seat b1011a integrally formed with the knife and chopping board side plate b1, and an insertion part plate b1011b detachably connected to the insertion part seat b1011a by, for example, screws; and there is a gap space between the insertion part seat b1011a and the insertion part plate b1011b, and an insertion groove b1012 is formed in the gap space. The gap space can be formed by providing a groove in the insertion part seat b1011a or by providing a groove in the insertion part plate b1011b.

[0188] In the direction perpendicular to the sliding of the limiting pin b102, the limiting pin b102 is provided with a protruding pressing part b1021 that passes through the insertion part b1011; and the insertion part b1011 is provided with a pressing part groove b1013 for the pressing part b1021 to slide. This facilitates the opening / closing of the opening of the locking slot b101 by pressing the pressing part b1021 to drive the limiting pin b102 to move.

[0189] Considering the issue of sharpening the blades of the blade assembly, the cutting and processing machine may also include a cutting and processing machine sharpening assembly or a cutting and processing machine sharpening device for sharpening the blades of the blade assembly in the cutting and processing machine.

[0190] The cutting and slicing machine sharpening assembly, when adapted to sharpen the first blade group b3, includes a movable rod h1 positioned on the side of the first blade group b3 away from the second blade group b4 and movable away from or near the first blade group b3. The movable rod h1 has a sharpening part h101 protruding from the blade group side, matching the first blade b302 in the first blade group b3. By driving the movable rod h1 to move closer to / away from the blade group, the sharpening part h101 is made to engage with / disengage from the blade. At this time, the cutting board fixing plate b2 on the side of the first blade group b3 away from the second blade group b4 has an avoidance arrangement based on the movement path of the movable rod h1, preventing interference between the cutting board fixing plate b2 and the movable rod h1.

[0191] Similarly, this tool set can also be adapted to the second tool set b4 setting, which will not be repeated here.

[0192] In this way, by moving the moving rod h1, the grinding part h101 of the moving rod can be driven to fit against the blade, thereby adapting and grinding the blade while it is still in the installed state, improving the sharpness of the blade, or the grinding part h101 of the moving rod can be driven to detach from the blade, so as not to interfere with the cutting action of the blade. This improves the convenience of blade grinding.

[0193] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving rod h1 is slidably mounted on the housing j of the cutting and slicing machine.

[0194] Furthermore, the cutting and grinding machine also includes a latch h2 located on one side of the blade assembly, which can switch between the movable state and the locked state of the movable rod h1 when the movable rod h1 moves away from the blade assembly.

[0195] In this embodiment, the latch h2 includes a latch box h201 fixed to the housing j of the cutting machine and positioned above or below the moving rod h1; the latch box h201 contains a vertically slidable sliding block h202, the sliding block h202 having a plug-in portion that can pass through the latch box h201 and be adapted to be inserted into the moving rod h1; by disengaging / plugging the plug-in portion from the moving rod h1, the movable state of the moving rod h1 (the state in which the moving rod h1 can move toward the blade assembly, for example, attached) is controlled. Figure 19 (Middle A state) and locked state (the state where the moving lever h1 cannot move toward the tool set, for example, attached) Figure 19 The transition is performed in state B.

[0196] To be precise, the insertion part is a protruding insertion rod h2021 on the sliding block h202; the moving rod h1 is provided with an insertion rod slot h102 that matches the insertion rod h2021 and allows the insertion rod h2021 to be inserted.

[0197] Furthermore, to improve the stability of locking the moving rod h1, a first elastic member h3 is provided between the sliding block h202 and the inner wall of the locking box h201, which drives the insertion part to pass through the locking box h201. The first elastic member h3 is preferably a spring.

[0198] Meanwhile, to facilitate the sliding of the sliding block h202, the sliding block h202 has a locking button h2022 that extends through the locking box h201 and is used to bear the thrust to drive the sliding block h202 to slide; and the locking box h201 is provided with a button groove for the locking button h2022 to slide. Applying force to the locking button h2022 on the outside of the locking box h201 will cause the sliding block h202 to slide, thereby changing the state of the moving rod h1.

[0199] Furthermore, in order to more conveniently drive the moving rod h1 to move, the moving rod h1 has an external part that passes through the housing j of the cutting machine and is located outside the housing j; the latch h2 is fixed to the outside of the housing j and is adapted to disengage / connect with the external part of the moving rod h1 to switch between the movable state and the locked state of the moving rod h1.

[0200] When the movable rod h1 is in the movable state, it can be moved directly by hand; alternatively, the tool holder fixing plate b2 has a portion located on the side of the movable rod h1 away from the tool assembly, and a second elastic element h4, preferably a spring, is provided between this portion and the movable rod h1 to drive the movable rod h1 closer to the tool assembly. This allows the movable rod h1 to automatically move closer to the tool assembly when it is in the movable state.

[0201] A knife-grinding device for a cutting and processing machine, comprising a first rotating rod k1 and a rotating motor k2.

[0202] Specifically, the first rotating rod k1 is rotatably positioned on one side of the first blade assembly b3, and a first rotating rod grinding part k101 matching the first blade b302 in the first blade assembly b3 is provided on one side; the rotating motor k2 includes an output shaft k201 that outputs rotational power, and the output shaft k201 is connected to the first rotating rod k1 through a gear or a transmission belt; the rotating motor k2 drives the first rotating rod k1 to rotate forward / reverse by a certain angle so that the first rotating rod grinding part k101 is attached to / detached from the first blade b302.

[0203] Furthermore, the first rotating rod k1 is rotatably connected to the housing j of the cutting and processing machine.

[0204] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first rotating rod k1 and the output shaft k201 are preferably connected by a transmission belt k3. To prevent the transmission belt k3 from disengaging, a first transmission member k4 is connected to the first rotating rod k1 for limiting and accommodating the transmission belt k3, and a second transmission member k5 is connected to the output shaft k201 for limiting and accommodating the transmission belt k3; the transmission belt k3 achieves the transmission connection between the first rotating rod k1 and the output shaft k201 through the first transmission member k4 and the second transmission member k5.

[0205] The blade sharpening device of the cutting and slicing machine also includes a second rotating rod k6, which is rotatably positioned on the side of the second blade group b4 away from the first blade group b3. The second rotating rod k6 is also rotatably connected to the housing j of the cutting and slicing machine. A second rotating rod sharpening part k601, matching the second blade b402 in the second blade group b4, is protruding from one side of the second rotating rod k6. Both the first rotating rod k1 and the second rotating rod k6 are connected to the output shaft k201 via a transmission belt k3. The first rotating rod k1 and the second rotating rod k6 are driven to rotate synchronously by a rotating motor k2, such that when the first rotating rod sharpening part k101 is in contact with the first blade b302, the second rotating rod sharpening part k601 is simultaneously in contact with the second blade b402; or, when the first rotating rod sharpening part k101 is disengaged from the first blade b302, the second rotating rod sharpening part k601 is simultaneously disengaged from the second blade b402.

[0206] At this time, the knife and chopping board fixing plate b2 needs to be set to avoid interfering with the rotation of the first rotating rod k1 and the second rotating rod k6.

[0207] The first rotating rod k1 is connected to the inner side of the transmission belt k3 (i.e., the inner ring surface of the annular transmission belt k3), and the second rotating rod k6 is connected to the outer side of the transmission belt k3 (i.e., the outer ring surface of the annular transmission belt k3).

[0208] Furthermore, a third transmission component k7 is connected to the second rotating rod k6 to limit and accommodate the transmission belt k3; the transmission belt k3 connects the second rotating rod k6 to the first rotating rod k1 and the output shaft k201 through the third transmission component k7.

[0209] Additional transmission components can also be installed to tension the transmission belt k3.

[0210] The cutting and slicing machine's sharpening device can also be equipped with a first limiting member fixed to the housing j of the cutting and slicing machine. When the first rotating rod k1 rotates so that the first rotating rod sharpening part k101 is in contact with the first blade b302, the first limiting member provides limiting support for the first rotating rod k1 to prevent it from continuing to rotate.

[0211] The cutting and slicing machine's sharpening device can also be equipped with a second limiting member fixed to the housing j of the cutting and slicing machine. When the second rotating rod k6 rotates so that the second rotating rod sharpening part k601 is in contact with the second blade b402, the second limiting member provides limiting support for the second rotating rod k6 to prevent it from continuing to rotate.

[0212] Furthermore, for the second cutting and matching module, as shown in the attached... Figure 22 To be continued Figure 39 As shown:

[0213] The second cutting module includes: a cutting module m4 for cutting vegetable ingredients, and a pressing module m5 for pressing the vegetable ingredients to be cut onto the cutting module m4.

[0214] Specifically, the vegetable cutting module m4 is used to cut the vegetables into pieces; the vegetable pressing module m5 is used to press the vegetables onto the vegetable cutting module m4; the transmission module m6 is used to rotate the vegetable cutting module m4; and the vegetable cutting motor m7 is used to provide power to the transmission module m6.

[0215] During operation, the vegetable cutting motor m7 is activated, driving the vegetable cutting module m4 to rotate via the transmission module m6. The pressing module m5 presses vegetables and other slicable foods onto the vegetable cutting module m4, which then cuts the vegetables into slices or strips. The housing j includes a base plate a1, a main load-bearing base plate j8, a first main load-bearing side plate j9, and a second main load-bearing side plate j10. The vegetable cutting module m4, the pressing module m5, the transmission module m6, and the vegetable cutting motor m7 are all mounted on the base plate a1. The main load-bearing base plate j8 is located below the base plate a1, and its two sides are supported upwards by the first main load-bearing side plate j9 and the second main load-bearing side plate j10, forming a food retrieval chamber c1. An electronic scale c1a is also located above the main load-bearing base plate j8 in the food retrieval chamber c1 for weighing the cut vegetables or other foods. The starting system of the vegetable cutting motor m7 can be integrated into the control interface m2, or a separate electronic control board can be set up to control the starting, rotation, forward and reverse behavior of the vegetable cutting motor m7.

[0216] refer to Figure 5 The housing j also includes a base plate a1 for supporting the vegetable cutting module m4, the vegetable pressing module m5, the transmission module m6, and the vegetable cutting motor m7, and for covering the vegetable cutting module m4, the vegetable pressing module m5, the transmission module m6, and the vegetable cutting motor m7. The fourth side plate j6, the third side plate j5, the first side plate j3, and the second side plate j4 form a covering from the front, back, left, and right directions, respectively, providing a waterproof function and preventing water from entering the areas where the vegetable cutting module m4, the vegetable pressing module m5, the transmission module m6, and the vegetable cutting motor m7 are located. Furthermore, the first side plate j3, located in the area of ​​the food retrieval cavity c1, also has a food retrieval opening; the installation of the first side plate j3 does not affect the user's ability to retrieve food from the food retrieval cavity c1.

[0217] refer to Figure 4 The housing j further includes a main load-bearing base plate j8, and a first main load-bearing side plate j9 and a second main load-bearing side plate j10 disposed on the main load-bearing base plate j8 and used to support the base plate a1; a vegetable-receiving cavity c1 is formed between the base plate a1 and the main load-bearing base plate j8. Further, the main load-bearing frame of the cutting and processing machine 1 is composed of the base plate a1, the main load-bearing base plate j8, the first main load-bearing side plate j9, and the second main load-bearing side plate j10, wherein components such as the vegetable cutting module m4 and the vegetable pressing module m5 are all installed on the base plate a1. This installation method provides a stable, safe, and reliable structure, a simple process, and high production assembly efficiency.

[0218] refer to Figure 5 To further explain, the main body housing j of the cutting and slicing machine 1 is composed of a first cover plate j1, a bottom plate j7, a fourth side plate j6, a third side plate j5, a first side plate j3, a second side plate j4, etc. Its main body housing is simple and compact to assemble, and has a sealed protection function for the internal structural module components.

[0219] refer to Figure 29 The vegetable cutting module m4 includes a blade fixing plate m4a, a first blade m4b, a second blade assembly m4c, a second blade holder m4d, a second blade fixing bracket m4e, and a pad m4f. When the blade fixing plate m4a rotates in the AA' direction, the first blade m4b performs a slicing function. When vegetables or other cutable food are pressed onto the blade fixing plate m4a, and the food remains stationary while the blade fixing plate m4a rotates, the first blade m4b will slice the food into pieces. When the blade fixing disc m4a rotates in the direction of BB', the first blade m4b, together with the second blade group m4c, performs the function of shredding. When vegetables or other cutable food are pressed on the blade fixing disc m4a, and the food remains stationary while the blade fixing disc m4a rotates, the first blade m4b, together with the second blade group m4c, will cut the food into shreds. The number of shreds depends on how many second blades m4c1 a second blade group m4c has. In this embodiment, a second blade group m4c has 20 second blades m4c1, so one cutting process can cut the food into 19 shreds of the same specification.

[0220] In this embodiment, after the shim m4f is fixed, it has the same axis as the blade fixing plate m4a and the first blade m4b. The thickness of the shim m4f determines the length of the distance between the first blade m4b and the blade fixing plate m4a. This distance is the height of the slicing gap m4a2 formed by the first cutting edge m4b1 of the first blade m4b and the vegetable opening m4a1, which determines the thickness of the slice. It also determines the height of the shredding gap m4a3 formed by the two second blades m4c1 and the first cutting edge m4b1. In addition, the distance between the two second blades m4c1 also determines the width of the shredding gap m4a3, which determines the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the shredded product.

[0221] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the food preparation machine includes a vegetable cutting module m4. (See reference...) Figure 28 and Figure 29 The vegetable cutting module m4 includes: a blade fixing plate m4a with a vegetable inlet m4a1; a first blade m4b mounted on the blade fixing plate m4a; the first blade m4b includes a first cutting edge m4b1; the first cutting edge m4b1 and the vegetable inlet m4a1 form a slicing gap m4a2; and a second blade group m4c including a plurality of second blades m4c1 mounted on the blade fixing plate m4a, wherein two adjacent second blades m4c1, the vegetable inlet m4a1, and the first cutting edge m4b1 form a shredding gap m4a3.

[0222] As shown in the diagram, the first blade m4b has a symmetrical figure-eight shape with four sides, all of which are the first cutting edges m4b1. The first cutting edge m4b1 and the side of the food inlet m4a1 below it form a long slicing slit m4a2. The height of the slicing slit m4a2 determines the thickness of the food slices. The shape of the first blade m4b is basically the same as the shape of the food inlet m4a1, so that after the first blade m4b is installed on the blade holder m4a, it can just cover the food inlet m4a1, preventing food scraps from coming out of the food inlet m4a1 without being cut into pieces.

[0223] Preferably, the first blade m4b further includes two first cutting heads m4b2 and four first cutting edges m4b1, with one first cutting edge m4b1 on each side of the first cutting head m4b2. The vegetable cutting module m4 includes two second blade groups m4c, which are respectively disposed on two first cutting edges m4b1 facing the same direction. "Facing the same direction" means that under the same rotation direction, the cutting edges of both second blade groups m4c can achieve a cutting effect. This allows the blade fixing disc m4a to perform two slicing and shredding operations per revolution, further improving its vegetable cutting efficiency.

[0224] The second blade group m4c is located on one side of the food inlet m4a1. The second blade group m4c has several second blades m4c1. Two adjacent second blades m4c1, together with the first cutting edge m4b1 above them and the side of the food inlet m4a1 below them, form a rectangular slicing gap m4a3. It is easy to see that if there are n second blades, there are n-1 slicing gaps m4a3. The slicing gaps m4a3 can cut the food into quadrangular prisms with the same shape as the gaps.

[0225] The blade disc structure also includes a shim m4f disposed between the blade fixing disc m4a and the first blade m4b. The shim m4f secures the first blade m4b to the blade fixing disc m4a at a certain distance, the size of which is determined by the thickness of the shim m4f. Furthermore, this distance determines the height of the slicing slit m4a2 and the shredding slit m4a3; by adjusting the thickness of the shim m4f, the final size of the food shreds or slices can be determined.

[0226] The cutting module m4 also includes a second blade holder m4d for fixing the second blade assembly m4c. The function of the second blade holder m4d is to first fix the second blade assembly m4c onto the second blade holder m4d, and then install the second blade holder m4d onto the blade fixing plate m4a. This way, when the individual blades m4c1 of the second blade assembly m4c become rusty or dull, the entire second blade assembly m4c can be easily removed from the blade fixing plate m4a simply by removing the second blade holder m4d. Furthermore, the product can be equipped with multiple second blade holders m4d for mounting the second blade assembly m4c, allowing users to easily replace them at any time.

[0227] The blade holder m4a includes a fixing plate screw hole m4a4; the second blade holder m4d includes a second blade holder first screw hole m4d1 for screwing the fixing plate screw hole m4a4. When installing the blade holder m4a, it is only necessary to screw the fixing plate screw hole m4a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole m4d1 together using bolts. Obviously, the fixing plate screw hole m4a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole m4d1 have the same specifications.

[0228] The vegetable cutting module m4 also includes a second blade holder m4e disposed on the second blade holder m4d. The function of the second blade holder m4e is to further fix the position of the second blade assembly m4c on the second blade holder m4d, so that the blades remain stable during the vegetable cutting process and do not sway or tip over.

[0229] The second blade holder m4d also includes a second blade holder second screw hole m4d2; the second blade holder m4e also includes a second blade holder screw hole m4e1 for screwing the second blade holder second screw hole m4d2. Similar to the fixing method of the fixing disc screw hole m4a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole m4d1, the second blade holder m4e is fixed to the second blade holder m4d by aligning the second blade holder second screw hole m4d2 with the second blade holder screw hole m4e1 and fixing it by bolting.

[0230] Furthermore, the cutting and processing machine 1 also includes a discharge cylinder m9 located below the guide cylinder m1k. After the food is cut, it can enter the food receiving chamber c1 through the discharge cylinder m9.

[0231] In this embodiment, the second blade assembly m4c is fixed to the blade fixing disc m4a via the second blade holder m4d and the second blade fixing bracket m4e. (Reference) Figure 30During installation, first install the second blade assembly m4c onto the second blade holder m4d, then install the second blade holder m4d onto the second blade mounting bracket m4e, and finally install the second blade mounting bracket m4e onto the blade mounting plate m4a to complete the installation of the second blade assembly m4c. Specifically, the second blade holder m4d also includes a second blade holder second screw hole m4d2; the second blade mounting bracket m4e also includes a second blade mounting bracket screw hole m4e1 for screwing the second blade holder second screw hole m4d2. Similar to the fixing method of the mounting plate screw hole m4a4 and the second blade holder first screw hole m4d1, the second blade mounting bracket m4e is fixed to the second blade holder m4d by aligning the second blade holder second screw hole m4d2 with the second blade mounting bracket screw hole m4e1 and fixing it with bolts.

[0232] The second blade holder m4e includes an upper fixing groove m4e2 for fixing the second blade assembly m4c. Specifically, refer to... Figure 32 When the second blade holder m4e is installed on the second blade holder m4d, the upper fixing groove m4e2 is first inserted into the second blade group m4c to fix the second blade group m4c perpendicular to its cutting surface. Then, the second screw hole m4d2 of the second blade holder is screwed together with the screw hole m4e1 of the second blade holder to complete the fixation. In this way, when the upper fixing groove m4e2 fixes each second blade m4c1 in the second blade group m4c, the second blade m4c1 will not tilt in the direction perpendicular to its cutting surface during cutting. Furthermore, the number of upper fixing grooves m4e2 is not less than the number of second blades m4c1, the spacing between each upper fixing groove m4e2 is equal to the spacing between each second blade m4c1, and the width of the upper fixing groove m4e2 is not less than the thickness of the second blade m4c1. Preferably, the number of upper fixing grooves m4e2 is equal to the number of lower fixing grooves m4d4. The number of second screw holes m4d2 in the second blade holder and the number of screw holes m4e1 in the second blade holder are equal.

[0233] Furthermore, the ratio of the number of second screw holes m4d2 to the number of second blades m4c1 in the second blade holder is 1:4, 1:5, or 1:6. Preferably, the ratio of the number of second screw holes m4d2 to the number of second blades m4c1 in the second blade holder is 1:5, which maximizes the use of the bolt's threading force to keep the second blades m4c1 stable.

[0234] refer to Figure 34The second blade holder m4d includes a first screw hole m4d1, a second screw hole m4d2, a disassembly slot m4d3, and a lower fixing slot m4d4; the second blade holder m4e includes a second blade holder screw hole m4e1 and an upper fixing slot m4e2. During installation, first insert the second blade assembly m4c into the lower fixing slot m4d4, then align the second blade holder screw hole m4e1 with the second screw hole m4d2 and secure it with bolts. This fixes the blade assembly m4c together with the second blade holder m4d and the second blade holder m4e. Then, align the first screw hole m4d1 of the second blade holder with the screw hole m4a4 of the fixing plate from below and secure it with bolts to fix the second blade holder m4d onto the blade fixing plate m4a.

[0235] refer to Figure 32 The second blade holder m4d also includes a disassembly slot m4d3 on the side of the holder. After the second blade holder m4e is installed on the second blade holder m4d, the second blade holder m4d and its associated second blade assembly m4c together secure the second blade holder m4e, making subsequent disassembly of the second blade holder m4e extremely difficult. The disassembly slot m4d3 penetrates the side of the second blade holder m4d. When it is necessary to disassemble the second blade holder m4e, the user can use a tool with a small pointed tip to insert into the disassembly slot m4d3 and pry up the second blade holder m4e to complete the disassembly.

[0236] refer to Figure 35 The second blade assembly m4c includes a second blade m4c1, a second cutting edge m4c2, a high cutting edge m4c3, an extension blade m4c4, and a crack-stopping circle m4c5. (Reference) Figure 32 The second cutting edge m4c2 at least partially extends beyond the first cutting edge m4b1. Specifically, "exceeds" means that the second cutting edge m4c2 is at least partially not below the first cutting edge m4b1; that is, the second cutting edge m4c2 can contact the food before the first cutting edge. This achieves the following: the second cutting edge m4c2 first cuts the food into shreds, forming a comb-like shape, and then the first cutting edge m4b1 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 m7, effectively reducing the pressure on the motor torque, improving shredding efficiency, and avoiding blade jamming.

[0237] In this embodiment, the second blade m4c1 further includes a high cutting edge m4c3 disposed on the second cutting edge m4c2, the high cutting edge m4c3 being at least partially higher than the first cutting edge m4b1. (Reference) Figure 30The higher edge m4c3 being higher than the first edge m4b1 means that the very top of the higher edge m4c3 is higher than the very top of the first edge m4b1. This ensures that when the first edge m4b1 cuts through the comb teeth created by the second blade m4c1 in the first step, it cuts onto the comb teeth to form strands, rather than cutting into the food itself, thus removing the comb teeth entirely and creating a shape similar to tripe. In summary, the higher edge m4c3 ensures that the cut vegetables are all separated into individual strands.

[0238] In addition, refer to Figure 35 The high-cutting edge m4c3 also forms an "L"-shaped notch with the top of the main body of the second blade m4c1 for mounting the first cutting edge m4b1. Multiple second blades m4c1 arranged side by side form an "L"-shaped groove for mounting the first cutting edge m4b1. When the first cutting edge m4b1 is mounted in the "L"-shaped groove, its downward or forward direction is restricted, improving the stability of the first cutting edge m4b1 during the food cutting process.

[0239] Furthermore, the anti-cracking circle m4c5 is located at the connection point between the second blade edge m4c2 and the extension piece m4c4. The anti-cracking circle m4c5 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 m4c1 to move.

[0240] In this embodiment, reference Figure 23The transmission module m6 includes a transmission shaft support frame m6a, a cutter head shaft support frame m6b, a motor gear m6c, a transmission gear m6d, a transmission shaft m6e, a cutter head shaft m6f, a transmission shaft bevel gear m6g, a cutter head shaft bevel gear m6h, a transmission shaft lock m6i, a cutter head shaft lock m6j, a synchronous belt m6k, a motor synchronous pulley m6m, and a transmission synchronous pulley m6n. Specifically, the transmission module m6 includes a horizontally arranged transmission shaft m6e, a vertically arranged cutter head shaft m6f, a transmission shaft bevel gear m6g arranged on the transmission shaft m6e, and a cutter head shaft bevel gear m6h arranged on the cutter head shaft m6f and used to mesh with the transmission shaft bevel gear m6g. The transmission module m6 also includes a motor gear m6c coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft of the vegetable cutting motor m7, and a transmission gear m6d coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft m6e and meshing with the motor gear m6c. The transmission module m6 further includes a transmission shaft support frame m6a for rotatably mounting the transmission shaft m6e. A transmission shaft latch m6i is disposed on the transmission shaft support frame m6a and used for rotatably mounting the transmission shaft m6e. A cutter head shaft support frame m6b is rotatably mounted on the cutter head shaft m6f. A cutter head shaft latch m6j is disposed on the cutter head shaft support frame m6b and used for rotatably mounting the cutter head shaft m6f. After the vegetable cutting motor m7 is started, it first drives the motor gear m6c to rotate. The transmission gear m6d meshes with the motor gear m6c, so the motor gear m6c can drive the transmission gear m6d to rotate. The transmission gear m6d has a fixing hole at its shaft center, which can be circumferentially fixed to the transmission shaft m6e. When the transmission gear m6d rotates, it can also drive the transmission shaft m6e to rotate. The transmission shaft bevel gear m6g is circumferentially fixed to the transmission shaft m6e. When the transmission shaft m6e rotates, it can also drive the transmission shaft bevel gear m6g to rotate. The drive shaft bevel gear m6g meshes with the cutter disc shaft bevel gear m6h, and the angle between the conical surfaces of the drive shaft bevel gear m6g and the cutter disc shaft bevel gear m6h and the axis is 45°. In this way, the vertical rotation of the drive shaft bevel gear m6g can be transmitted to the cutter disc shaft bevel gear m6h and cause it to rotate laterally. The cutter disc shaft bevel gear m6h is circumferentially fixed to the cutter disc shaft m6f. When the cutter disc shaft bevel gear m6h rotates, it can also drive the cutter disc shaft m6f to rotate. The upper end of the cutter disc shaft m6f is circumferentially fixed to the cutting module m4. When the cutter disc shaft m6f rotates, it can also drive the cutting module m4 to rotate.

[0241] Furthermore, the transmission module m6 also includes a motor synchronous pulley m6m coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft of the vegetable cutting motor m7, a transmission synchronous pulley m6n coaxially mounted on the transmission shaft m6e, and a synchronous belt m6k connecting the motor synchronous pulley m6m and the transmission synchronous pulley m6n. The motor gear m6c and transmission gear m6d can be replaced with the motor synchronous pulley m6m and transmission synchronous pulley m6n respectively, and a taut synchronous belt m6k can be installed between the motor synchronous pulley m6m and the transmission synchronous pulley m6n 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 food chopper; low noise and low vibration are excellent conditions for home kitchen cooking operations.

[0242] In this embodiment, reference Figure 25 The pressing module m5 includes a pull rod panel m5d, a pressing block part m5e, an inner rod m5f, and an outer rod m5g; the housing j also includes a first cover plate j1 and a guide cylinder m1k. Specifically, the housing j includes a first cover plate j1 and a guide cylinder m1k disposed on the first cover plate j1 for placing the food.

[0243] Specifically, the pressing module m5 includes a pull rod panel m5d; a pressing block part m5e, installed on the pull rod panel m5d and used to apply pressure to the food; an inner rod m5f, located at the lower end of the pull rod panel m5d; an outer rod m5g, used to sleeve the inner rod m5f; a blade fixing plate m4a, located below the pressing block part m5e and used to receive the food under pressure applied by the pressing block part m5e; the pressing block part m5e includes an elastic module, used to provide elastic force to move the inner rod m5f into the outer rod m5g; the pressing block part m5e includes a pressing block m5e2, and a pressing handle m5e1, disposed on the pressing block m5e2 and used to counteract the elastic force of the elastic module.

[0244] In this embodiment, the pressure applied to the food by the pressing module m5 is always directed towards the blade fixing plate m4a. In this embodiment, the pressure applied by the pressing module m5 is downwards, meaning the blade fixing plate m4a is located below the pressing module m5. This allows the pressing module to utilize almost all of the food's weight for the cutting process. In other embodiments, the pressing module m5 and the blade fixing plate m4a can be tilted at approximately the same angle, which also utilizes a portion of the food's weight for the cutting process, or resists a portion of the food's weight while cutting.

[0245] The insertion design of the inner rod m5f and the outer rod m5g ensures that the pressure on the food is always perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the blade fixing disc m4a, making the cutting process of the blade fixing disc m4a smoother. In this embodiment, the blade fixing disc m4a 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 disc m4a 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 disc m4a.

[0246] The elastic module enables the inner rod m5f and the outer rod m5g to retract inward, thus giving the composite rod, formed by the inner rod m5f and the outer rod m5g, 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.

[0247] The pressing block m5e2 is the structure that directly contacts the food. Its main function is to transfer the elastic force of the elastic module to the food, thereby compressing it. The shape of the pressing block m5e2 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 m5e1 is to counteract the elastic force of the elastic module, so that the pressing block m5e2 can be separated from the food, or to provide sufficient space between the pressing block m5e2 and the blade fixing plate m4a for placing the food. The pressing handle m5e1 can be a different structure set on the pressing block m5e2, or a groove or protrusion formed by the pressing block m5e2 itself, or a part of the shape of the pressing block m5e2 itself. As long as it can achieve the above function, it should be one of the forms of the pressing handle m5e1.

[0248] In addition, the spring module includes a tension spring upper hanging pin m5h disposed in the hollow cavity of the inner rod m5f, a tension spring lower hanging pin m5i disposed in the hollow cavity of the outer rod m5g, and a tension spring m5j with its two ends respectively hanging on the tension spring upper hanging pin m5h and the tension spring lower hanging pin m5i.

[0249] In this embodiment, the spring module is in the form of a tension spring m5j disposed in the inner rod m5f and the outer rod m5g. The function of the tension spring m5j is that even if the inner rod m5f is fully inserted into the outer rod m5g with the tension spring m5j present, or when the pressing block m5e2 and the blade fixing plate m4a are almost in contact, the tension spring m5j still has sufficient elastic tension to meet the needs of the cutting process. Furthermore, the tension spring m5j should also have a sufficiently large deformation space and elastic limit to ensure that the pressing handle m5e1 can be lifted smoothly and that the food can be placed between the pressing block m5e2 and the blade fixing plate m4a.

[0250] The method of using the pressing module m5 is as follows: when cutting vegetables, first put the food into the guide cylinder m1k, then press down the pressing part m5e. The inner rod m5f slides inside the outer rod m5g, so that the inner rod m5f and the outer rod m5g are shortened as a whole, thereby making the pressing part m5e closer to the cutting module m4 below, thus pressing the food onto the cutting module m4.

[0251] Further, refer to Figure 26 The pressing module m5 also includes an upper tension spring pin m5h, a lower tension spring pin m5i, and a tension spring m5j. Specifically, the pressing module m5 further includes an upper tension spring pin m5h disposed in the hollow cavity of the inner rod m5f, a lower tension spring pin m5i disposed in the hollow cavity of the outer rod m5g, and a tension spring m5j with its two ends respectively attached to the upper tension spring pin m5h and the lower tension spring pin m5i. When cutting vegetables, simply lift the pressing part m5e to expose the opening on the guide cylinder m1k and place the food into the guide cylinder m1k. Then, release the pressing part m5e. The tension spring m5j pulls the upper tension spring pin m5h and the lower tension spring pin m5i together, causing the pressing part m5e to press the food downward.

[0252] In this embodiment, reference Figure 26 The pressing unit m5e includes a pressing handle m5e1, a pressing block m5e2, a pressing spring m5e3, an upper spring groove m5e4, a transmission slide column m5e5, and a lower spring groove m5e7. Specifically, the pressing unit m5e includes a pressing block m5e2 and a pressing handle m5e1 disposed on the pressing block m5e2.

[0253] When cutting vegetables, lift the vegetable pressing handle m5e1 to move the vegetable pressing block m5e2 upward. At the same time, pull the lever panel m5d upward to expose the opening of the guide cylinder m1k and put the food into the guide cylinder m1k. Then release the vegetable pressing handle m5e1. Under the action of the vegetable pressing spring m5e3, the vegetable pressing block m5e2 presses the food in the cutting direction. The cutting direction is the direction of the shredding or slicing blade relative to the vegetable pressing block m5e2. When the lever panel m5d falls to the bottom, the vegetable pressing spring m5e3 can continue to act on the vegetable pressing block m5e2 to press the food downward until all the food is shredded or diced by the vegetable cutting module m4.

[0254] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressing block m5e2 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.

[0255] Furthermore, the pressing block part m5e includes a pressing block m5e2 and a pressing spring m5e3 for lifting the pressing block m5e2 in the cutting direction. Under the downward pressure of the pressing spring m5e3, the pressing block m5e2 presses onto the vegetable, causing it to be sliced ​​or shredded.

[0256] Furthermore, the pressing block portion m5e also includes a pressing handle m5e1 disposed on the pressing block m5e2. Pulling up the pressing handle m5e1 allows the inner rod m5f to be pulled out from the outer rod m5g, making it convenient to place food underneath.

[0257] Furthermore, the pressing block part m5e also includes an upper spring groove m5e4 for mounting the pressing spring m5e3, and a transmission slide m5e5 located at the lower end of the pressing handle m5e1 and used to connect the pressing block m5e2. Pulling up the pressing handle m5e1 allows the pressing block m5e2 to move upward against the pressing spring m5e3, making it easier to place food underneath.

[0258] Furthermore, the pressing block part m5e also includes a transmission slide sleeve m5e6 on which the transmission slide column m5e5 is axially slidably mounted. The transmission slide sleeve m5e6 can guide the movement direction of the transmission slide column m5e5, so that its movement direction is always perpendicular to the upper end face of the pressing block m5e2.

[0259] Furthermore, the pressing block portion m5e also includes a lower spring groove m5e7 disposed on the pressing block m5e2 and used to install the pressing spring m5e3. The lower spring groove m5e7 can cooperate with the upper spring groove m5e4 to circumferentially fix the pressing spring m5e3, so that its extension and contraction direction is always perpendicular to the upper end face of the pressing block m5e2.

[0260] Furthermore, the minimum inner diameter of the lower spring groove m5e7 is greater than the maximum outer diameter of the upper spring groove m5e4. This design allows the upper spring groove m5e4 to enter the lower spring groove m5e7 when the food-pressing spring m5e3 is compressed to a certain extent, enabling further compression of the food-pressing spring m5e3 to accumulate elastic potential energy.

[0261] refer to Figure 36The self-resetting assembly m4g includes an upper magnet mounting piece m4g1, a lower magnet mounting piece m4g2, an upper magnet m4g3, a lower magnet m4g4, a positioning pin m4g5, and a positioning pin seat m4g6. The upper magnet mounting piece m4g1 is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the pull rod panel m5d. The positioning pin m4g5 is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the upper magnet mounting piece m4g1. The positioning pin seat m4g6 rotatably mounts the positioning pin m4g5, allowing the positioning pin m4g5 to rotate freely within the seat m4g6. The upper magnet m4g3 is mounted on the upper magnet mounting piece m4g1, and the lower magnet m4g4 is mounted on the lower magnet mounting piece m4g2. The upper magnet m4g3 and the lower magnet m4g4 have a mutual attraction effect; for example, the N pole of the upper magnet m4g3 is directly opposite the S pole of the lower magnet m4g4. When the upper magnet m4g3 and the lower magnet m4g4 attract each other, the storage area m4a5 is positioned directly below the guide cylinder m1k. This design helps prevent the food from being directly placed onto the first blade m4b, effectively preventing the food from bouncing due to the rotation of the blade fixing plate m4a. This function is primarily achieved through the attraction between the upper and lower magnets. When the blade fixing plate m4a stops, the attraction between the opposite magnetic poles causes the storage area m4a5 of the blade fixing plate m4a to naturally align with the feed inlet.
