Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a dicing component and a food dicing machine. Background Art

[0002] A food dicer is an efficient kitchen helper that can cut vegetables, fruits and other food ingredients into dices for later use. The dicing assembly on the food dicer is the core component for dicing food ingredients into dices. In the existing technology, the dicing assembly of some food dicer includes a dicing cylinder and a slicing cylinder arranged inside and outside. The slicing cylinder can rotate relative to the dicing cylinder to first slice the food delivered to it (to form sheet materials), and then use the pressing ribs on it to press the sheet materials against the dicing knife of the dicing cylinder to cut the sheet materials into dices. However, after market research and studying the usage feedback of some users, the inventor found that during the process of pressing and dicing the sheet materials, there is a certain gap between the pressing ribs and the dicing knife. Therefore, it is easy to cause the incomplete dicing to cause the incomplete dicing to remain and clog the knife hole of the dicing knife. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the present invention provides a dicing assembly, which includes a dicing cylinder 100 and a slicing cylinder 200.

[0024] A slidable dicing knife 300 is provided on the side of the dicing cylinder 100. The dicing knife 300 is provided with a knife hole 311 connected to the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100. The knife hole 311 is used to allow the diced material cut by the dicing knife 300 to pass into the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100. The slicing cylinder 200 is sleeved on the dicing cylinder 100. The slicing cylinder 200 is provided with a feed port 210 connected to its inner cavity on the side of the cylinder. The slicing cylinder 200 is provided with a slicing knife 400 located at the feed port 210. The side wall and bottom wall of the inner cavity of the slicing cylinder 200 are respectively provided with a pressing rib 220 and a protrusion 230. Among them, the slicing cylinder 200 can rotate relative to the dicing cylinder 100, so that the slicing knife 400 cuts the food passing through the feed inlet 210 into sheet materials, and the pressing rib 220 presses the cut sheet materials toward the dicing knife 300, so that the protrusion 230 pushes the dicing knife 300 to slide close to the side wall of the inner cavity of the slicing cylinder 200.

[0025] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 4 The dicing knife 300 has an arched structure and is provided with a dicing net portion 310 , and the dicing net portion 310 is provided with the above-mentioned knife holes 311 .

[0026] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The pressing ribs 220 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of pressing ribs 220 are provided along the circumference of the slicing cylinder 200 .

[0027] Through the above structure, when the food passes through the feed port 210, the dicing assembly of the present application cuts the food into dice-shaped materials in the following process: 1. The slicing cylinder 200 rotates relative to the dicing cylinder 100, and the slicing knife 400 cuts the food passing through the feed port 210 into sheet materials. At this time, the sheet materials are located between the slicing cylinder 200 and the dicing cylinder 100; 2. The slicing cylinder 200 continues to rotate relative to the dicing cylinder 100, and the pressing rib 220 is located between the slicing cylinder 200 and the dicing cylinder 100. The sheet material between the cylinders 100 is pressed against the dicing mesh 310. At this point, the pressed dicing blade 300 slides away from the inner wall of the slicing cylinder 200. 3. The slicing cylinder 200 then rotates relative to the dicing cylinder 100. The protrusions 230 push the dicing blade 300 toward the inner wall of the slicing cylinder 200, causing the dicing mesh 310 to cut the sheet material into dices. The dices can then pass through the knife holes 311 and enter the inner wall of the dicing cylinder 100. Thus, in the final, critical stage of the dicing process, the protrusions 230 push the dicing blade 300 to slide, compensating for the gap and allowing the dicing mesh 310 to closely approach or even adhere to the inner wall of the slicing cylinder 200. This effectively ensures that the sheet material is fully and completely cut into dices, significantly reducing or preventing the problem of incompletely diced sheet material remaining and clogging the knife holes 311.

[0028] It can be understood that the inner cavity side wall of the slicing cylinder 200 includes a pressing rib 220 portion.

[0029] The dicing knife 300 is slidably mounted on the dicing cylinder 100. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The dicing cylinder 100 is provided with four mounting posts 110, each of which is provided with a connecting hole 111. The dicing knife 300 is provided with four connecting posts 500. The four connecting posts 500 are slidably inserted into the four connecting holes 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. The connecting posts 500 are provided with a limiting portion 510. The limiting portion 510 and the dicing knife 300 are respectively provided on both sides of the corresponding mounting post 110.

[0030] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4The connecting column 500 is sleeved with an elastic member 600, and the two ends of the elastic member 600 are respectively in contact with the dicing knife 300 and the mounting column 110, and the elastic member 600 can drive the dicing knife 300 to reset. Among them, the elastic member 600 is set as a spring.

[0031] In some embodiments, the number of the mounting posts 110 and the number of the connecting posts 500 are both three, five, or the like.

[0032] The protrusion 230 can push the dicing knife 300 to slide close to the inner wall of the slicing tube 200. Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The dicing knife 300 is provided with a contact portion 320 , and the protrusion 230 can abut against the contact portion 320 to push the dicing knife 300 to slide close to the inner cavity side wall of the slicing cylinder 200 .

[0033] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The convex portion 230 is a disc-shaped cam structure, and the peripheral wall of the convex portion 230 abuts against the contact portion 320.

[0034] It is understood that the convex portion 230 of the disc-shaped cam structure has a peripheral wall section that can abut against the contact portion 320 to drive the dicing knife 300 to slide close to the inner wall of the slicing cylinder 200. This peripheral wall section can cyclically rotate until it abuts against the contact portion 320. In this way, the slicing cylinder 200 rotates continuously in one direction, which can cause the dicing knife 300 to slide back and forth to perform the dicing operation.

[0035] In some embodiments, the protrusion 230 is a rod-shaped structure that can swing back and forth as the slicing cylinder 200 rotates, and reciprocally abuts against the contact portion 320 to periodically push the dicing knife 300 to slide close to the inner cavity side wall of the slicing cylinder 200 .

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation and positioning of the dicing cylinder 100 and the slicing cylinder 200, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The protrusion 230 is provided with a positioning block 231 , and the dicing cylinder 100 is provided with a positioning groove 120 , and the positioning block 231 is rotatably inserted into the positioning groove 120 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 120 is disposed on the protrusion 230 , and the positioning block 231 is disposed on the dicing cylinder 100 .

[0038] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3The inner cavity side wall of the dicing cylinder 100 is provided with an inclined material guide surface 130 , which can receive the diced material entering the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100 from the knife hole 311 and can guide the diced material to the discharge port 140 of the dicing cylinder 100 .

[0039] It is understandable that when the material guiding surface 130 receives the diced material entering the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100 from the knife hole 311 , the diced material can move along the material guiding surface 130 to the discharge port 140 under the action of its own gravity.

[0040] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The present invention also provides a food dicing machine, which includes the above-mentioned dicing assembly. Through the above-mentioned structure, the dicing effect can be effectively ensured to ensure the user's experience.

[0041] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
