Abstract

This invention discloses a tomato slicer. A pusher assembly gradually pushes the tomato towards a blade assembly. Once the tomato has completely passed the blade assembly, multiple blades slice it. A pusher plate moves synchronously with a sliding seat. When the sliding seat moves forward a certain distance, the pusher plate pushes a sleeve forward. The sleeve's protrusion engages with the rotating shaft's groove, causing the rotating shaft to rotate as the sleeve moves forward. This rotation drives an eccentric wheel to rotate synchronously. Under the force of two second compression springs, the eccentric wheel's rotation causes two plates to reciprocate along the left-right direction of the base. The movement of these plates, via two connecting parts, drives two movable plates to move synchronously along two second sliding grooves. This invention results in more neatly arranged slices of tomato.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to kitchen equipment, specifically a tomato slicer. Background Technology

[0002] When making salads, sandwiches, and wraps, a large amount of tomatoes are often used. Generally, tomatoes need to be sliced, but slicing tomatoes by hand with a knife is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale processing.

[0003] Therefore, there is currently a tomato slicer that includes a blade assembly and a pusher assembly. The blade assembly includes multiple parallel blades, and the pusher assembly includes multiple parallel pushers. The pushers and blades are arranged alternately. When slicing tomatoes, the pusher assembly pushes the tomatoes through the blade assembly, thereby slicing the tomatoes by multiple blades. This eliminates the need for manual slicing with a knife, improving slicing efficiency. However, after slicing the tomatoes, the resulting slices are often arranged in a rather messy manner, making it impossible to neatly arrange the sliced ​​tomatoes on a plate, which is inconvenient for users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a tomato slicer that allows the multiple slices of tomato obtained from slicing to be arranged more neatly.

[0005] The tomato slicer provided in this application includes:

[0006] Base;

[0007] The mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the base.

[0008] The blade assembly is mounted on the mounting bracket and is located above the base. The blade assembly includes multiple blades, all of which are parallel to the upper surface of the base and are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base.

[0009] A sliding seat is mounted on the upper surface of the base and can slide along the front-to-back direction of the base.

[0010] The handle is fixedly mounted on the sliding base and is used to drive the sliding base to slide on the base.

[0011] A push plate assembly is mounted on a sliding seat and located on one side of the blade assembly. The push plate assembly includes multiple push plates, all of which are parallel to the upper surface of the base. The multiple push plates are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base. The multiple push plates and multiple blades are alternately arranged along a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base.

[0012] Two movable plates are set on the upper surface of the base and can slide along the left and right direction of the base. Both movable plates are located on the other side of the blade assembly, and the two movable plates are close to the left and right sides of the base respectively.

[0013] The transmission mechanism is used to drive the two movable plates to move synchronously back and forth along the left and right direction of the base after the sliding seat slides forward a certain distance.

[0014] When the sliding seat slides backward on the base, it moves the push plate assembly away from the blade assembly, leaving space between the push plate assembly and the blade assembly for placing the tomatoes. When the sliding seat slides forward on the base, it moves the push plate assembly closer to the blade assembly, so that the push plate assembly pushes the tomatoes through the blade assembly, thereby slicing the tomatoes. When the blade assembly is slicing the tomatoes and after the tomatoes are finished slicing, the two movable plates move back and forth synchronously in the left and right direction of the base to push the sliced ​​tomatoes left and right, thereby arranging the sliced ​​tomatoes neatly.

[0015] Preferably, the base is provided with a first sliding groove and two second sliding grooves. The first sliding groove extends along the front-rear direction of the base, and the two second sliding grooves extend along the left-right direction of the base. The two second sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged about the first sliding groove.

[0016] The transmission mechanism includes a push plate, a sleeve, a rotating shaft, an eccentric wheel, a first connecting seat, a second connecting seat, a first compression spring, two plates, two movable rods, two third connecting seats, and two second compression springs. The upper end of the push plate is connected to the sliding seat. The push plate passes through the first sliding groove and extends into the lower part of the base. Both the first and second connecting seats are located below the base. The sleeve is mounted on the first connecting seat and can slide along the length of the first sliding groove. The sleeve is circumferentially limited by the first connecting seat. One end of the sleeve is open, and the other end is open... The sleeve is closed at one end, with the closed end facing the push plate. An annular flange is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve near the closed end. A first compression spring is fitted onto the sleeve, with one end abutting against the annular flange and the other end abutting against the end face of the first connecting seat. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the second connecting seat, coaxial with the sleeve. One end of the shaft extends into the open end of the sleeve, allowing it to rotate relative to the sleeve. Two spirally extending grooves are provided on the circumferential wall of the shaft, surrounding its axis. The inner wall of the sleeve... Two protrusions are fixedly installed on the upper part, and the two protrusions extend into two grooves respectively. An eccentric wheel is fixed to the other end of the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the eccentric wheel to rotate synchronously. Two third connecting seats are fixed on the base and are located on the left and right sides of the eccentric wheel respectively. Two movable rods extend along the left and right direction of the base. The axes of the two movable rods are on the same straight line. The two movable rods are respectively set on the two third connecting seats, and both movable rods can slide along the left and right direction of the base. Two plates are respectively set on the two movable rods near the eccentric wheel. The two plates are located on the left and right sides of the eccentric wheel respectively. The first surface of the two plates abuts against the outer periphery of the eccentric wheel. Two second compression springs are respectively sleeved on the two movable rods. One end of the two second compression springs abuts against the second surface of the two plates respectively, and the other end of the two second compression springs abuts against the end face of the two third connecting seats respectively. Connecting parts are fixedly installed on the two movable plates. The two connecting parts pass through the two second sliding grooves and extend into the bottom of the base respectively. The two connecting parts are connected to the two movable rods respectively.

[0017] Preferably, the side of the plurality of push plates facing the blade assembly is concave arc-shaped, and the plurality of push plates are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base.

[0018] Preferably, the blade assembly is inclined relative to the front-back direction of the base, and a baffle is provided on one side edge of the base. The baffle is located between the blade assembly and the push plate assembly, and is arranged along the front-back direction of the base. One side of the baffle is close to the blade assembly.

[0019] Preferably, the sliding seat is provided with a protective plate, which is located on one side of the handle and parallel to the blade assembly. When the user holds the handle and pushes the sliding seat forward to its limit position, the protective plate abuts against the blade assembly.

[0020] Preferably, the base has track grooves on both the left and right side walls, and both track grooves extend along the front and rear direction of the base. The sliding seat has joints on the left and right sides respectively, and slide rails are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the two joints. The two slide rails are slidably installed in the two track grooves respectively.

[0021] Preferably, two positioning blocks are provided on the left and right sides of the base. The two positioning blocks are respectively aligned with the two joints of the sliding seat along the length of the first slide groove. When the user holds the handle and pushes the sliding seat forward to the limit position, the two joints abut against the two positioning blocks respectively.

[0022] One or more technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0023] In this invention, the tomato slicer places the tomato between the blade assembly and the pusher assembly during slicing. The user holds the handle and pushes the sliding seat forward along the base. The pusher assembly moves forward synchronously with the sliding seat, gradually pushing the tomato towards the blade assembly. Once the tomato has completely passed the blade assembly, the multiple blades in the blade assembly slice the tomato. The pusher assembly moves synchronously with the sliding seat. When the sliding seat has moved forward a certain distance, the pusher assembly contacts the closed end of the sleeve, causing the pusher assembly to push the sleeve forward. At this time, the first compression spring is compressed. Through the cooperation between the sleeve's protrusion and the rotating shaft's groove, the forward movement of the sleeve drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the eccentric wheel to rotate synchronously. The two second compression springs... Under the action of force, the rotation of the eccentric wheel enables the two plates to move back and forth along the left and right direction of the base. When the two plates move, they drive the two movable plates to move synchronously through the two connecting parts, so that the two movable plates move synchronously along the two second sliding grooves. When the two movable plates move back and forth left and right, they can arrange the multiple tomato slices obtained from slicing into a neat row, making it convenient to directly and neatly place and store the sliced ​​tomatoes. When the user pulls the sliding seat back, the first compression spring can push the sleeve to move backward and reset. At this time, the sleeve can also drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the two movable plates move back and forth, so that the multiple tomato slices obtained from slicing are arranged more neatly after being pushed left and right by the two movable plates.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or modules not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the tomato slicer of this embodiment includes a base 10, a mounting frame 20, a blade assembly 30, a sliding seat 40, a handle 50, a push plate assembly 60, two movable plates 70, and a transmission mechanism.

[0032] Mounting bracket 20 is fixedly mounted on base 10. Mounting bracket 20 is a door-shaped component.

[0033] The blade assembly 30 is mounted on the mounting bracket 20 and is located above the base 10. The blade assembly 30 includes multiple blades 31 and two bases 32. The multiple blades 31 are parallel to the upper surface of the base 10 and are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. Both ends of each blade 31 are fixedly mounted on the two bases 32, and the two bases 32 are respectively connected to the two sides of the mounting bracket 20 by bolts.

[0034] The sliding seat 40 is disposed on the upper surface of the base 10 and can slide along the front and back direction of the base 10.

[0035] The handle 50 is fixedly mounted on the sliding base 40, and the user can push the sliding base 40 to slide on the base 10 by holding the handle 50.

[0036] The pusher assembly 60 is disposed on the sliding seat 40 and located on one side of the blade assembly 30. The pusher assembly 60 includes multiple push plates 61 and two studs 62. The multiple push plates 61 are parallel to the upper surface of the base 10 and are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. The two studs 62 pass through all the push plates 61 and are connected to the sliding seat 40. The multiple push plates 61 and multiple blades 31 are alternately arranged in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10, so that when the pusher assembly 60 pushes the tomato toward the blade assembly 30, the multiple push plates 61 and multiple blades 31 can be alternately arranged and close together, so that the pusher assembly 60 can push the tomato completely through the blade assembly 30.

[0037] Both movable plates 70 are set on the upper surface of the base 10 and can slide along the left and right direction of the base 10. Both movable plates 70 are long strips and extend along the front and back direction of the base 10. The lower edge of the two movable plates 70 is attached to the upper surface of the base 10. Both movable plates 70 are located on the other side of the blade assembly 30. The two movable plates 70 are close to the left and right sides of the base 10 respectively.

[0038] The transmission mechanism is used to drive the two movable plates 70 to move synchronously back and forth along the left and right directions of the base 10 after the sliding seat 40 slides forward a certain distance.

[0039] When the sliding seat 40 slides backward on the base 10, the sliding seat 40 drives the push plate assembly 60 away from the blade assembly 30, so that space is left between the push plate assembly 60 and the blade assembly 30 for placing tomatoes; when the sliding seat 40 slides forward on the base 10, the sliding seat 40 drives the push plate assembly 60 closer to the blade assembly 30, so that the push plate assembly 60 pushes the tomatoes through the blade assembly 30, thereby slicing the tomatoes; and when the blade assembly 30 is slicing the tomatoes and after the tomatoes are sliced, the two movable plates 70 move back and forth synchronously in the left and right direction of the base 10, so as to push the multiple sliced ​​tomatoes together left and right, thereby arranging the sliced ​​tomatoes neatly.

[0040] The base 10 is provided with a first slide groove 11 and two second slide grooves 12. The first slide groove 11 is located in the middle of the base 10 and extends along the front-back direction of the base 10. The first slide groove 11 passes through the base 10 vertically. The two second slide grooves 12 extend along the left-right direction of the base 10 and are symmetrically arranged about the first slide groove 11. The two second slide grooves 12 are perpendicular to the first slide groove 11 and pass through the base 10 vertically.

[0041] The transmission mechanism includes a push plate 81, a sleeve 82, a rotating shaft 83, an eccentric wheel 84, a first connecting seat 85, a second connecting seat 86, a first compression spring 87, two plates 88, two movable rods 89, two third connecting seats 90, and two second compression springs 91. The upper end of the push plate 81 is connected to the sliding seat 40. The push plate 81 passes through the first sliding groove 11 and extends into the lower part of the base 10. The first connecting seat 85 and the second connecting seat 86 are both located below the base 10. The sleeve 82 is located on the first connecting seat 85 and can move along the first connecting seat 86. The first slide groove 11 slides along its length, and the sleeve 82 is located directly below the first slide groove 11. The axis of the sleeve 82 extends along the length of the first slide groove 11. The sleeve 82 is circumferentially limited by the first connecting seat 85. Specifically, the cross-section of the outer wall of the sleeve 82 is polygonal, and the inner hole shape of the first connecting seat 85 matches the outer wall of the sleeve 82. After the sleeve 82 is installed on the inner hole of the first connecting seat 85, the sleeve 82 cannot rotate relative to the first connecting seat 85, but the sleeve 82 can slide along the axial direction of the first connecting seat 85.

[0042] One end of the sleeve 82 is open and the other end is closed. The closed end of the sleeve 82 is directly opposite the push plate 81. There is a certain gap between the closed end of the sleeve 82 and the push plate 81. An annular protrusion 821 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 82 near the closed end. The first compression spring 87 is sleeved on the sleeve 82. One end of the first compression spring 87 abuts against the annular protrusion 821, and the other end of the first compression spring 87 abuts against the end face of the first connecting seat 85.

[0043] The rotating shaft 83 is rotatably mounted on the second connecting seat 86. The rotating shaft 83 can rotate relative to the second connecting seat 86, but the rotating shaft 83 is limited and cannot move axially relative to the second connecting seat 86. The rotating shaft 83 is coaxially mounted with the sleeve 82. One end of the rotating shaft 83 extends into the open end of the sleeve 82. The rotating shaft 83 and the sleeve 82 are nested together. The rotating shaft 83 can rotate relative to the sleeve 82. Two grooves 831 extending spirally around the axis of the rotating shaft 83 are provided on the peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 83. Two protrusions 822 are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 82. The two protrusions 822 extend into the two grooves 831 respectively. In this way, when the sleeve 82 moves axially, the two protrusions 822 apply force to the groove walls of the two grooves 831 respectively, which can make the rotating shaft 83 rotate.

[0044] An eccentric wheel 84 is fixed to the other end of a rotating shaft 83, allowing the eccentric wheel 84 to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 83. Two third connecting seats 90 are fixed to the base 10 and located on the left and right sides of the eccentric wheel 84, respectively. Two movable rods 89 extend along the left-right direction of the base 10, with their axes on the same straight line. The two movable rods 89 are movably mounted on the two third connecting seats 90, and both can slide along the left-right direction of the base 10. Two plates 88 are respectively positioned near the eccentric wheels 89. At one end of the eccentric wheel 84, two plates 88 are located on the left and right sides of the eccentric wheel 84 respectively. The first surfaces of the two plates 88 abut against the outer periphery of the eccentric wheel 84. Two second compression springs 91 are respectively sleeved on the two movable rods 89. One end of the two second compression springs 91 abuts against the second surface of the two plates 88 respectively, and the other end of the two second compression springs 91 abuts against the end faces of the two third connecting seats 90 respectively. In this way, when the eccentric wheel 84 rotates, it can drive the two plates 88 to move back and forth left and right, thereby causing the two movable rods 89 to move back and forth left and right as well.

[0045] Each of the two movable plates 70 is fixedly provided with a connecting part 71. The two connecting parts 71 pass through the two second sliding grooves 12 and extend into the bottom of the base 10. The two connecting parts 71 are connected to the two movable rods 89 respectively. In this way, when the two movable rods 89 move back and forth left and right, the two movable rods 89 drive the two movable plates 70 to move synchronously through the two connecting parts 71 respectively.

[0046] The sides of the multiple push plates 61 facing the blade assembly 30 are all concave arc-shaped. The multiple push plates 61 are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. In this way, when the concave arc-shaped side of the push plate 61 contacts the tomato, the contact area is larger, which can more stably push the tomato forward.

[0047] The blade assembly 30 is inclined relative to the base 10 in the front-back direction. A baffle 13 is provided on one side edge of the base 10. The baffle 13 is located between the blade assembly 30 and the push plate assembly 60. The baffle 13 is arranged along the front-back direction of the base 10. One side of the baffle 13 is close to the blade assembly 30. In this way, when slicing the tomato, the push plate assembly 60 pushes the tomato towards the blade assembly 30. Since the blade assembly 30 is inclined, the tomato will be pushed to a position that abuts against the inner wall of the baffle 13, thereby limiting the tomato and preventing the tomato from slipping off the base 10 when slicing.

[0048] A protective plate 41 is provided on the sliding seat 40. The protective plate 41 is located on one side of the handle 50 and is parallel to the blade assembly 30. When the user holds the handle 50 and pushes the sliding seat 40 forward to its limit position, the protective plate 41 abuts against the blade assembly 30, so that the protective plate 41 can protect the user's hand holding the handle 50 from touching the blade 31, so as to avoid the user's hand being cut by the blade 31.

[0049] The base 10 has two track grooves 14 on its left and right side walls. Both track grooves 14 extend along the front and rear direction of the base 10. The sliding seat 40 has a joint 42 on its left and right sides. The inner walls of the two joints 42 are fixedly provided with slide rails. The two slide rails are slidably arranged in the two track grooves 14. This makes the sliding fit between the sliding seat 40 and the base 10 more stable.

[0050] Two positioning blocks 15 are also provided on the left and right sides of the base 10. The two positioning blocks 15 are respectively aligned with the two joints 42 of the sliding seat 40 along the length of the first slide groove 11. When the user holds the handle 50 and pushes the sliding seat 40 forward to the limit position, the two joints 42 abut against the two positioning blocks 15 respectively. This means that when the user pushes the sliding seat 40 forward to slice the tomato, the distance the sliding seat 40 moves forward is limited by the positioning blocks 15, so that the sliding seat 40 moves forward too far and damages the equipment parts.

[0051] In this embodiment, when slicing tomatoes, the tomato is placed between the blade assembly 30 and the pusher plate assembly 60. The user holds the handle 50 and pushes the sliding seat 40 forward along the base 10. The pusher plate assembly 60 moves forward synchronously with the sliding seat 40, gradually pushing the tomato towards the blade assembly 30. After the tomato has completely passed the blade assembly, the multiple blades 31 in the blade assembly 30 slice the tomato. The pusher plate 81 moves synchronously with the sliding seat 40. When the sliding seat 40 moves forward a certain distance, the pusher plate 81 contacts the closed end of the sleeve 82, thereby pushing the sleeve 82 forward. At this time, the first compression spring 87 is compressed. Through the cooperation between the protrusion 822 of the sleeve 82 and the groove 831 of the rotating shaft 83, the sleeve 82 can drive the rotating shaft 83 to rotate when it moves forward. When the rotating shaft 83 rotates, it drives the eccentric wheel 84 to rotate synchronously. Under the force of the two second compression springs 91, when the eccentric wheel 84 rotates, it can cause the two plates 88 to move back and forth along the left and right direction of the base 10. When the two plates 88 move, they drive the two movable plates 70 to move synchronously through the movable rod 89 and the connecting part 71, so that the two movable plates 70 move synchronously along the two second slide grooves 12. When the two movable plates 70 move back and forth left and right, they can push the multiple tomato slices obtained by slicing to the left and right to arrange the multiple tomato slices neatly. When the user pulls the sliding seat 40 back, the first compression spring 87 can push the sleeve 82 to move backward and reset. At this time, through the cooperation of the protrusion 822 and the groove 831, the sleeve 82 can also drive the rotating shaft 83 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the two movable plates 70 continue to move back and forth along the second slide groove 12, so that the multiple tomato slices obtained by slicing are arranged more neatly after being pushed left and right by the two movable plates 70.
