[0016] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine of the present invention comprises: The housing 1 is provided with a switch 2, a rotating cup 3, a transmission gear 4, an intermittent gear 5 and a moving frame 6; The transmission gear 4 is meshed with the intermittent gear 5; The switch 2 is used to switch the rotating cup 3 and the transmission gear 4 to be fixedly connected or separated; The mobile frame 6 is provided with a special-shaped track 61 and a cutter 62, and the cutter 62 is used to cut the food discharged from the rotating cup 3; The intermittent gear 5 is provided with a transmission shaft 51 which is slidably connected to the special-shaped track 61 , and the transmission shaft 51 is used to drive the moving frame 6 to perform periodic reciprocating motion.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: an adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine, a rotating cup 3 for placing and accommodating food and an intermittent gear 5 for intermittently driving the rotating cup 3 to rotate are arranged side by side on the housing 1, and a movable mobile frame 6 is arranged below the two. When in use, the switching switch 2 is used to control the switching of the rotating cup 3 and the transmission gear 4 to be fixedly connected or separated. In the meshing state, when the intermittent gear 5 rotates, it will push the mobile frame 6 to move, and the cutter 62 on the mobile frame 6 will cut the food discharged from the rotating cup 3 for the first time. After the first cutting is completed, the mobile frame 6 is reset, and the scattered teeth 52 on the intermittent gear 5 rotate to mesh with the transmission gear 4 of the rotating cup 3, and drive the rotating cup 3 to rotate a certain angle and then stop. At this time, the food also adjusts its position with the rotating cup 3. When the mobile frame 6 is pushed to move, the cutter 62 cuts the food discharged from the rotating cup 3 for the second time. The second cutting is different from the first cutting in the direction left on the food, thereby realizing the cutting of grid food. In the separated state, the rotating cup 3 will not rotate, and the intermittent gear 5 will only push the mobile frame 6 to reciprocate periodically, so as to process sheet food or strip food. The adjustable self-rotating food cutter provided by the present invention can flexibly switch cutting modes, design and change the cutting shape of food, and has good versatility. Compared with the current method of cutting food horizontally and then manually rotating the food and cutting it again to cut out a grid, there is no need to rely on experience and skills, and the problems of different sizes and uneven thicknesses in manual cutting can be solved. It can not only improve efficiency but also ensure cutting consistency, and avoid the grid being too thin and not forming, and easy to fall apart after frying, or being too thick and not fried thoroughly to affect the taste.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the central angle corresponding to the scattered teeth 52 on the intermittent gear 5 is smaller than 180°.

[0020] From the above description, it can be seen that the central angle corresponding to the scattered teeth 52 can be designed according to needs. When the corresponding central angle is less than 180°, for example, when the corresponding central angle is set to about 90°, the angle between the cutting groove left by the second cutting and the first cutting on the food is about 90°.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the special-shaped track 61 includes an arc segment 611 , and the arc segment 611 is arranged concentrically with the axis of the intermittent gear 5 .

[0022] From the above description, it can be known that when the transmission shaft 51 passes through the arc segment 611, the transmission shaft 51 does not generate thrust on the movable frame 6, and the movable frame 6 remains relatively still, thereby reserving time for the rotating cup 3 to rotate and adjust the orientation of the food.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the casing includes an upper cover spliced ​​together, a reciprocating stroke module and a material receiving box, the switching switch, the rotating cup and the intermittent gear are all arranged on the upper cover, the movable frame is arranged on the reciprocating stroke module, and the reciprocating stroke module is assembled to the material receiving box.

[0024] From the above description, it can be seen that the housing 1 adopts a split splicing design, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly, taking and placing food, cleaning and maintenance.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a power module 7 , and the power module 7 is connected to the intermittent gear 5 .

[0026] It can be seen from the above description that the power module 7 is used to control the rotation speed and direction of the intermittent gear 5 .

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the rotating cup 3 includes a cup body 31 and a pressing rod 32 . The cup body 31 has openings at upper and lower ends, and the pressing rod 32 extends into the cup body 31 from the upper opening of the cup body 31 .

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the upper opening of the cup body 31 is used to put food, and the food is pressed downward by the pressing rod 32 and extends out from the lower opening to be cut by the knife 62.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the pressing rod 32 includes a hand piece 321 and a column 322 that are rotatably matched, and the column 322 extends into the cup body 31 from the upper opening of the cup body 31.

[0030] From the above description, it can be known that the hand piece 321 is held by the user to facilitate pressing the column 322. The column 322 is rotatably installed and can be inserted into the rotating cup 3 to rotate synchronously with the food through the 3222 convex thorns.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a strip groove 3221 is provided on the outer wall of the column 322 , and a strip boss 311 embedded in the strip groove 3221 is provided on the inner wall of the cup body 31 .

[0032] It can be known from the above description that the bar-shaped boss 311 and the bar-shaped groove 3221 are embedded and engaged, so that the column 322 can rotate synchronously with the rotating cup 3 when pressed.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the switching switch 2 includes a sliding lever 21, a lifting structure 22 and a clutch connecting member 23. The sliding lever 21 is slidably matched with the housing 1. The sliding lever 21 and the lifting structure 22 are supported and matched by a wedge surface 211. The clutch connecting member 23 is clamped with the rotating cup 3. The clutch connecting member 23 is provided with a clamping column 231. The transmission gear 4 is provided with a clamping slot 41. The lifting structure 22 is used to control the insertion or separation of the clamping column 231 and the clamping slot 41.

[0034] From the above description, it can be known that when in use, the sliding lever 21 is pushed, and the sliding lever 21 supports the lifting structure 22 to be lifted and fixed through the wedge surface 211, and the elastic support member of the clutch connecting member 23 is compressed, and the clamping column 231 of the clutch connecting member 23 is separated from the clamping groove 41 of the transmission gear 4. In this way, when the transmission gear 4 rotates, it will not drive the rotating cup 3 to rotate. When the sliding lever 21 is pushed in the opposite direction, the lifting structure 22 is reset from the fixed position, and the clutch connecting member 23 is reset under the support of the elastic support member, and the clamping column 231 is plugged into the clamping groove 41, and the rotating cup 3 is fixedly connected with the transmission gear 4 and rotates synchronously.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the rotating cup 3 is provided with a transmission rib 33 , and the clutch connector 23 is provided with a limiting groove 232 engaged with the transmission rib 33 .

[0036] It can be seen from the above description that the rotating cup 3 is engaged with the clutch connector 23 via the transmission rib 33 and locked with each other in the circumferential direction of rotation, thereby rotating synchronously.

[0037] The adjustable self-rotating food cutter of the present invention includes the following key concepts and designs: (1) Reciprocating intermittent rotating structure, the gear transmission cooperates and the gear rotation realizes the reciprocating intermittent rotating motion synchronously. The initial power is output by the motor and transmitted to the intermittent gear 5. The rotation of the intermittent gear 5 is realized by the counterclockwise circular motion of the transmission shaft 51 on the intermittent gear 5 and the special-shaped track 61 to realize the short stop of the moving frame 6 after a reciprocating motion. At the same time of the stop, the scattered teeth 52 of the intermittent gear 5 are engaged with the transmission gear 4. The rotating cup 3 rotates regularly through the structural connecting parts, and the pressing rod 32 realizes synchronous rotation through the strip boss 311, driving the food to rotate about 90 degrees at a time, thereby simulating manual rotation of the food. (In addition, as long as the food rotates a certain angle, the first knife and the second knife have an intersecting cutting angle in the horizontal direction, and the wave knife can cut out grid food).

[0038] (2) Reciprocating intermittent structure: when the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward to the sheet or strip position, the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward, and the lever lifting inclined surface causes the lifting structure 22 to rise, driving the coaxially fixed clutch connector 23 that can slide up and down on the rotating cup 3 to move up, and the clamping column 231 on the clutch connector 23 is disengaged from the evenly distributed clamping groove 41 on the transmission gear 4. At this time, the intermittent gear 5 rotates, and although it drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate, it can no longer drive the rotating cup 3 to rotate by driving the clutch connector 23. The rotating cup 3 does not rotate, and the food does not rotate. While the intermittent gear 5 rotates, it also causes the moving frame 6 to perform reciprocating intermittent motion through the eccentric transmission shaft 51 at its bottom.

[0039] (3) Clutch structure: When the sliding lever 21 is moved back to the grid position, the lever lifting inclined surface moves backward, and the resilience of the reset spring inside the upper shell of the main body presses the elastic support member downward, driving the clutch connector 23 below it to press downward, so that the clamping column 231 on the clutch connector 23 is embedded in the clamping groove 41 of the transmission gear 4, so that the transmission gear 4 and the rotating cup 3 continue to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the lifting structure 22 will move downward with the clutch connector 23, and the shift fork on the lifting structure 22 will cooperate with the rotating sliding groove on the outside of the clutch connector 23. When the clutch connector 23 rotates, the lifting structure 22 will not rotate with it.

[0040] (4) The pressing rod 32 realizes free rotation of the hand-held part and the lower cylindrical part through a plastic thrust ball bearing. There are several pairs of grooves on the lower cylindrical part. The bottom of the groove of the pressing rod 32 has a guiding slope. When the bottom of the pressing rod 32 just contacts the top of the rotating cup 3, the strip boss 311 on the rotating cup 3 will slide into the groove of the pressing rod 32 through the guiding slope at the bottom of the pressing rod 32. At this time, the rotating cup 3 can drive the pressing rod 32 to rotate.

[0041] (5) There is a guide rib on the material receiving box 12 to avoid safety hazards caused by improper operation. Only when the material receiving box 12 is completely placed in the material receiving box 12 shell and the power module 7 is placed in the groove of the main body upper shell, so that the material receiving area is completely closed, the guide rib causes the transmission connecting rod in the reciprocating stroke module to rise, and the transmission connecting rod pushes against the micro switch contact rod in the power module 7 to rise and trigger the micro switch to turn on. The machine can be started by pressing the start switch. When the material receiving box 12 is moved out of the material receiving box 12 shell, the guide rib moves out, the transmission connecting rod drops, the safety micro switch 9 fails, and the machine cannot be started by pressing the start switch.

[0042] (6) There are triangular ribs on the lower cover of the main body. Due to the shape of the wave crests and troughs of the wave knife, the food is easily stuck in the gap of the wave trough of the wave knife when cutting. As a result, after the liner rotates about 90 degrees, the food cannot be effectively fixed by the pressing rod 32. The pressing rod 32 does not drive the food to rotate enough, which affects the grid cutting effect. Therefore, the triangular ribs will pass through the trough of the wave knife every time the wave knife 62 cuts forward, so that the gap is filled by the triangular ribs, preventing the food from getting stuck in the gap.

[0043] (7) When cutting, the food is subjected to the forward cutting force of the cutter 62, and is squeezed and easily pushes the main body upper cover 11 upward. Through the two spring limit buckles in the main body rotating module, the upper cover limit grooves 111 on the reciprocating stroke module are buckled during operation to effectively fix the relative matching positions of the main body rotating module and the reciprocating stroke module, thereby realizing the cutting function.

[0044] The working principle of the adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine of the present invention is: In an adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine, reciprocating intermittent rotational motion is realized by gear transmission and synchronous rotation of gears. The initial power is output by the motor and transmitted to the intermittent gear 5. The intermittent gear 5 rotates and the transmission shaft 51 on the intermittent gear 5 cooperates with the special-shaped track 61 to make a counterclockwise circular motion to realize a short stop of the moving frame 6 after a reciprocating motion. At the same time of the stop, the intermittent gear 5 is meshed with the transmission gear 4, and the rotating cup 3 is rotated regularly (about 90 degrees at a time) through the structural connecting piece. The strip groove 3221 of the pressing rod 32 realizes synchronous rotation through the strip boss 311 of the rotating cup 3, driving the food to rotate about 90 degrees at a time, simulating manual rotation of the food.

[0045] When the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward to the sheet or strip position, the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward, and the lever lifting inclined surface causes the lifting structure 22 to rise, driving the coaxially fixed clutch connector 23 that can slide up and down on the rotating cup 3 to move up, and the clamping column 231 on the clutch connector 23 is disengaged from the evenly distributed clamping groove 41 on the transmission gear 4. At this time, the intermittent gear 5 rotates, and although it drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate, it can no longer drive the rotating cup 3 to rotate by driving the clutch connector 23. The rotating cup 3 does not rotate, and the food does not rotate. While the intermittent gear 5 rotates, it also causes the moving frame 6 to do reciprocating intermittent motion through the eccentric transmission shaft 51 at its bottom.

[0046] When the sliding lever 21 is shifted back to the grid gear, the lever lifting inclined surface moves backward, and the resilience of the reset spring inside the upper shell of the main body presses down the clutch upper limit member, driving the clutch connector 23 below it to press down, so that the clamping column 231 on the clutch connector 23 is embedded in the clamping groove 41 of the transmission gear 4, so that the transmission gear 4 and the rotating cup 3 continue to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the lifting structure 22 will follow the clutch connector 23 to move downward, and the shift fork on the lifting structure 22 will cooperate with the rotating sliding groove on the outside of the clutch connector 23. When the clutch connector 23 rotates, the lifting structure 22 will not rotate with it.

[0047] The adjustable self-rotating food cutter can realize fast cutting of grid-shaped food, without any skills. By adjusting the lever to switch the working mode, a large number of food cuttings of different shapes can be easily completed to ensure consistency and quality control. It can ensure that the thickness and shape of each piece of food are consistent, thereby ensuring uniform heating and better taste during cooking. It can complete the cutting of kitchen food efficiently and quickly, meet the food processing needs of various root and tuber food, and realize slicing and strip cutting functions by replacing different knives 62 inside the product. It can process a large number of root and tuber food in a short time, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention is: An adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine includes a rotating module, a reciprocating stroke module, an upper cover 11, a material receiving box 12, a switching switch 2 and a power module 7. A plastic thrust ball bearing is provided inside a pressing rod 32 to enable a handpiece 321 and a column 322 to rotate freely. The power module 7 includes a reduction box, a main control board and a click switch 8.

[0049] During installation, place the reciprocating stroke module on the material receiving box 12, put the tool 62 into the slot of the movable frame 6 in the reciprocating stroke module, and then cover the main rotating module with the reciprocating stroke module, and put the power module 7 into the groove of the main body upper cover 11. The pressing rod 32 is inserted into the feed port through the guidance of the cup body 31, and the machine is started by pressing the switch 8. After the food is put in, the pressing rod 32 presses the food.

[0050] When the sliding lever 21 is in the grid position, the pressing rod 32 (pressing the food) rotates regularly about 90 degrees, and the machine cuts the food into a grid shape. When the sliding lever 21 slides forward to the sheet and strip position, the rotating cup 3 does not rotate, and the pressing rod 32 (at this time, the pressing rod 32 does not rotate, but simply presses the food) presses the food, and the slicing and striping functions are realized by replacing the slicing and strip cutting tools 62.

[0051] In the power module 7, the motor runs to output power to the intermittent gear 5 on the reciprocating stroke module through the reduction gear, and the intermittent gear 5 rotates counterclockwise. The transmission shaft 51 on the intermittent gear 5 cooperates with the special-shaped track 61 of the mobile frame 6 to perform reciprocating intermittent motion to realize the cutting function. Specifically, when the power module 7 drives the intermittent gear 5 to rotate, the transmission shaft 51 at the eccentric position at the bottom of the intermittent gear 5 rotates around the axis of the intermittent gear 5. At the same time, the transmission shaft 51 cooperates with the special-shaped track 61 in the mobile frame 6 to move the mobile frame 6 forward. The mobile frame 6 moves forward, and after the food in the rotating cup 3 is cross-cut by the wavy knife on the mobile frame 6, the mobile frame 6 is driven back to the initial position by the rotating intermittent gear 5 again, forming a reciprocating motion of the mobile frame 6. And at this time, the large plane of the wavy knife on the mobile frame 6 is directly below the rotating cup 3, and the special-shaped track 61 on the mobile frame 6 will cause the mobile frame 6 to stagnate briefly. When the moving frame 6 stops, the scattered teeth 52 on the intermittent gear 5 drive the transmission gear 4 fixed on the lower shell of the main body to rotate about 90 degrees, and the transmission gear 4 then drives the clutch connection 23 coaxially fixed above it to rotate. The clutch connection 23 is coaxially fixed with the rotating cup 3, and the rotation limiting groove inside the clutch connection 23 cooperates with the transmission rib 33 on the outer wall of the rotating cup 3 to drive the rotating cup 3 on the lower shell of the main body. The rotating cup 3 rotates about 90 degrees, and the rotating cup 3 causes the pressing rod 32 fixed with the food to rotate about 90 degrees. The food stops after rotating about 90 degrees on the large plane of the wave knife. The intermittent gear 5 then drives the moving frame 6 under the food to continue to move forward through the eccentric transmission shaft 51 at the bottom, so that the food is cut by the wave knife in another horizontal direction. The fallen food presents a grid shape. The function of cutting the grid is realized by performing reciprocating intermittent rotation in this cycle.

[0052] When the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward to the sheet or strip position, the sliding lever 21 is pushed forward, and the lever lifting inclined surface causes the lifting structure 22 to rise, driving the coaxially fixed clutch connector 23 that can slide up and down on the rotating cup 3 to move up, and the clamping column 231 on the clutch connector 23 is disengaged from the evenly distributed clamping groove 41 on the transmission gear 4. At this time, the intermittent gear 5 rotates, and although it drives the transmission gear 4 to rotate, it can no longer drive the rotating cup 3 to rotate by driving the clutch connector 23. The rotating cup 3 does not rotate, and the food does not rotate. While the intermittent gear 5 rotates, the eccentric transmission shaft 51 at its bottom causes the mobile frame 6 to perform reciprocating intermittent motion. At this time, the slicing and stripping functions are realized by replacing different slicing and stripping knives 62.

[0053] When the sliding lever 21 is shifted back to the grid gear, the lever lifting inclined surface moves backward, and the clutch connecting member 23, through the resilience of the reset spring, presses down the clutch upper limit member, driving the clutch connecting member 23 below it to press down, so that the clamping column 231 on the clutch connecting member 23 is embedded in the clamping groove 41 of the transmission gear 4, so that the transmission gear 4 and the rotating cup 3 continue to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the lifting structure 22 will follow the clutch connecting member 23 to move downward, and the fork on the lifting structure 22 will rotate and slide with the groove on the outer side of the circumference of the clutch connecting member 23. When the clutch connecting member 23 rotates, the lifting structure 22 will not rotate with it.

[0054] The power module 7 drives the intermittent gear 5 to make counterclockwise circular motion. The transmission shaft 51 (with a self-rotating plastic sleeve to make the fit smooth and prevent the structure from being stuck due to excessive load) at the eccentric position at the bottom of the intermittent gear 5 cooperates with the special-shaped track 61 on the mobile frame 6, and moves counterclockwise, driving the mobile frame 6 in the reciprocating stroke module to make reciprocating intermittent motion. When the transmission shaft 51 is at point A, that is, the initial position of the circular motion, it moves counterclockwise to point B, and the transmission shaft 51 cooperates with the side wall of the oblique line segment of the mobile frame 6 track ab in front of it, driving the mobile frame 6 to move to the end of the stroke, that is, driving the knife 62 forward to cut the food, and the wave knife completes the food cutting with one knife. When the transmission shaft 51 moves counterclockwise from point B to point C, the transmission shaft 51 cooperates with the arc side wall of the track b'-c of the moving frame 6 behind it to drive the moving frame 6 to pull back and complete a reciprocating motion. During the period when the transmission shaft 51 moves counterclockwise from point C to point A, since the arc side wall of the track c-b'-d of the moving frame 6 is the same as the circular trajectory of the transmission shaft 51, the transmission shaft 51 cannot drive the moving frame 6 to move, and the moving frame 6 will stagnate for a short time. When the point C starts to rotate counterclockwise to the point A, the large plane of the wavy blade inside the moving frame 6 is Directly below the rotating cup 3 and holding the food, the scattered teeth 52 on the intermittent gear 5 will start to drive the transmission gear 4 to rotate about 90 degrees. The transmission gear 4 drives the clutch connector 23 to rotate the rotating cup 3 (about 90 degrees at a time). The rotating cup 3 drives the pressing rod 32 to rotate, and then rotates the food. When the transmission shaft 51 points to point A, a complete reciprocating intermittent rotation motion ends. When the transmission shaft 51 moves in a counterclockwise circle from point A again, the food is rotated about 90 degrees and then cut horizontally by the wave knife. The movement process is repeated to form a grid-shaped food.

[0055] There are two sections of strip bosses 311 on the inner wall of the rotating cup 3, which slide with several pairs of strip grooves 3221 on the pressing rod 32. The pressing rod 32 is inserted into the feeding port rotating cup 3. The pressing rod 32 can be driven to rotate by the rotating cup 3 during the downward movement. The pressing rod 32 is embedded in the food through the bottom spikes, driving the food to rotate synchronously. There is a guiding slope at the bottom of the groove of the pressing rod 32. When the bottom of the pressing rod 32 just contacts the top of the rotating cup 3, the strip bosses 311 on the rotating cup 3 will slide into the groove of the pressing rod 32 through the guiding slope at the bottom of the pressing rod 32. At this time, the rotating cup 3 can drive the pressing rod 32 to rotate.

[0056] After the upper cover 11 is placed on the reciprocating stroke module, the reciprocating stroke module is placed on the material receiving box 12, and the power module 7 is placed in the main upper cover 11, the machine can only be in standby mode after the material receiving box 12 is placed in the shell of the material receiving box 12, the safety micro switch 9 is triggered, and the power is plugged in. The food is put into the feed inlet, the pressing rod 32 presses the food, and the press switch 8 is turned on. The pressing rod 32 drives the food to rotate regularly, and the food falls into the material receiving box 12.

[0057] When the main unit needs to be cleaned after processing the food, except for the power module 7 (to prevent water from entering the module and touching the electronic components), the rest of the whole unit can be washed with water. Separate the power module 7, pinch the two limit buckles of the upper shell with two fingers, and the limit buckles will be separated from the upper cover limit groove 111 on the reciprocating travel frame, and the main body upper cover 11 will be lifted up and separated from the reciprocating travel module.

[0058] In summary, the adjustable self-rotating food cutting machine of the present invention has a rotating cup for placing and accommodating food and an intermittent gear for intermittently driving the rotating cup to rotate arranged side by side on the casing, and a movable mobile frame is arranged below the two. When in use, a switching switch is used to control the switching of the rotating cup and the transmission gear to be fixedly connected or separated. In the meshing state, when the intermittent gear rotates, it will push the mobile frame to move, and the cutter on the mobile frame will cut the food discharged from the rotating cup for the first time. After the first cutting is completed, the mobile frame will reset, and the scattered teeth on the intermittent gear will rotate to mesh with the transmission gear of the rotating cup, and drive the rotating cup to rotate a certain angle and then stop. At this time, the food also adjusts its position following the rotating cup. When the mobile frame is pushed to move again, the cutter will cut the food discharged from the rotating cup for the second time. The second cutting is different from the first cutting in the direction left on the food, thereby realizing the cutting of grid food. In the separated state, the rotating cup will not rotate, and the intermittent gear will only push the mobile frame to reciprocate periodically, so as to process sheet food or strip food. The adjustable self-rotating food cutter provided by the present invention can flexibly switch cutting modes, design and change the cutting shape of food, and has good versatility. Compared with the current method of cutting food horizontally and then manually rotating the food and cutting it again to cut out a grid, there is no need to rely on experience and skills, and the problems of different sizes and uneven thicknesses in manual cutting can be solved. It can not only improve efficiency but also ensure cutting consistency, and avoid the grid being too thin and not forming, and easy to fall apart after frying, or being too thick and not fried thoroughly to affect the taste.
