Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food cutting auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a vegetable cutting device which is convenient for people with hand dysfunction to use. Background Art

[0002] People with hand dysfunction face many difficulties in daily life, especially in cooking activities such as cutting vegetables. These difficulties not only affect their cooking efficiency and the quality of dishes, but may also have a certain impact on their mental health. The main difficulties encountered by people with hand dysfunction when cutting vegetables are as follows:

[0003] First, it is difficult to hold the knife. People with hand dysfunction often have difficulty holding the knife steadily, which not only increases the safety risk when cutting vegetables, but may also cause the knife to slip, affecting the cutting effect. Due to insufficient grip strength or incorrect gripping method, they may find it difficult to control the force and direction of the knife, resulting in the cut vegetables of different sizes and irregular shapes.

[0004] Second, it is difficult to precisely control the cutting action. Precise cutting requires fine coordination of the hands, which is a big challenge for people with hand dysfunction. They may have difficulty accurately aiming the knife at the food, resulting in uneven cutting or waste of food. During the cutting process, they may have difficulty controlling the depth and speed of the cutting, increasing the risk of injury.

[0005] Third, fatigue from maintaining a cutting posture for a long time. People with hand dysfunction may feel fatigue in their hands or related muscle groups when maintaining a cutting posture for a long time. This not only affects their cutting efficiency, but may also aggravate the discomfort in their hands. Fatigue may also make it difficult for them to concentrate, increasing safety risks when cutting vegetables.

[0006] Fourth, the ability to handle ingredients is limited. People with hand dysfunction may have difficulty grasping, moving, and handling ingredients effectively. For example, they may have difficulty picking up ingredients from the chopping board and placing them in the cutting area, or collecting the cut ingredients. This not only limits their cooking creativity and the diversity of dishes, but may also affect their enjoyment of the cooking process.

[0007] Fifth, psychological challenges: Long-term hand dysfunction may cause individuals to feel psychologically frustrated and inferior. When they encounter difficulties in daily activities such as cutting vegetables, they may feel more frustrated and helpless. This psychological pressure may further affect their enthusiasm for cooking and quality of life.

[0008] The invention patent with publication number: CN117621156A discloses a vegetable cutter, including an upper cover plate, a bottom box with an open top, a vegetable cutting device and a driving device, wherein the upper cover plate is provided with a feeding channel and a mounting seat, and the driving device is detachably arranged on the mounting seat; a vegetable cutting device installation area is provided at the opening of the bottom box, the vegetable cutting device includes a transmission assembly and a knife, the transmission assembly is connected to the knife, the vegetable cutting device is placed in the vegetable cutting device installation area, and a storage area is formed between the vegetable cutting device and the bottom wall of the bottom box; the upper cover plate is seated at the opening of the bottom box, the upper cover plate and the bottom box are clamped to each other, the feeding channel is located above the vegetable cutting device, the transmission assembly is connected to the transmission part of the driving device, and the driving device reciprocates with the knife through the transmission assembly. The vegetable cutter is cleaned thoroughly to prevent food residues from breeding bacteria, so as to ensure the hygiene of the vegetable cutting process and avoid bacterial breeding, thereby protecting the health of users.

[0009] However, in actual use, it was found that the biggest problem for patients with hand dysfunction when using a vegetable cutter is that the cutter is not easy to replace. When operating with one hand, it is not easy to replace and adjust the knife, and scratches are likely to occur during the replacement process, posing certain safety hazards.
