Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of potato processing technology, and in particular to an automatic potato cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes are annual herbaceous plants belonging to the genus *Solanum* of the Solanaceae family. Their above-ground stems are rhomboid and hairy. The leaves initially are simple, gradually developing into odd-pinnate compound leaves of varying sizes, ranging from ovate to oblong. The inflorescence is a corymb at the top, with white or bluish-purple flowers. The fruit is a berry, and the tuber is flattened-round or spherical, hairless or sparsely pubescent. The skin is white, pale red, or purple, and the flesh can be white, pale yellow, or yellow. They flower in summer. Potatoes are named for their resemblance to horse bells. Processing potatoes often requires cutting, necessitating an automatic potato cutter.

[0003] However, existing automatic potato slicers still have some problems, as detailed below:

[0004] 1. The problem of difficulty in disassembling the blades of automatic potato cutters: The blades may wear out during processing, and they also need to be cleaned after long-term use. This requires disassembling the blades to facilitate replacement or cleaning.

[0005] 2. The problem of the automatic potato cutter having difficulty rotating the baffle plate is that the baffle plate will affect the feeding of potatoes. It is necessary to rotate the baffle plate to make it easier for the potatoes to be fed in, so as not to affect the feeding of potatoes. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic potato cutter to solve the shortcomings of existing automatic potato cutters, such as difficulty in disassembling the blades and rotating the baffle.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic potato cutter, comprising a shell, a base, and a push plate, wherein the shell is installed on the top of the base;

[0010] A movable structure is installed at the bottom of the outer casing, a motor is installed inside the outer casing, a telescopic push rod is installed on one side of the motor, a fixed rod is installed at the top of one side of the outer casing, and a push plate is installed on one side of the telescopic push rod.

[0011] Both ends of the push plate are equipped with side plates, one side of the side plate is equipped with a blade, and one side of the blade is equipped with a disassembly and assembly structure.

[0012] In operation, the hinge rotates along the pivot, which in turn rotates the connecting rod. This rotation, in turn, rotates the baffle, which can be opened or closed to facilitate potato feeding and device operation. Potatoes are loaded into the device, and then the motor drives the telescopic push rod to extend and retract. This extension and retraction of the push rod moves the push plate, which in turn moves the potatoes. The potatoes then pass through the blades, where they are cut.

[0013] Preferably, the disassembly and assembly structure includes a first mounting buckle, a first mounting groove, a first snap fastener, a handle, and a mounting shell. The mounting shell is installed on the outside of the blade. A first mounting groove is installed on one side of the mounting shell, and a first mounting buckle is movably connected inside the first mounting groove. A first snap fastener is installed on one side of the first mounting buckle, and a shielding structure is installed at the top of the side plate.

[0014] Preferably, the outer diameter of the push plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the side plate, and the push plate and the side plate form a sliding structure, allowing the push plate to slide.

[0015] Preferably, an mounting screw is installed on one side of the fixing rod, and external threads are evenly provided on the outer side wall of the mounting screw. Internal threads that cooperate with the external threads are evenly provided on the inner side wall of the fixing rod. The mounting screw and the fixing rod are threadedly connected, and the fixing rod can be installed and fixed by the mounting screw.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting shell and the blade form a locking structure, and the inner diameter of the mounting shell is larger than the outer diameter of the blade, making the locking structure easy to disassemble.

[0017] Preferably, the shielding structure includes a baffle, a hinge, a connecting rod, and a rotating shaft. The hinge is installed at the top of the outer casing, and a rotating shaft is installed inside the hinge. A connecting rod is installed on one side of the hinge, and a baffle is installed on one side of the connecting rod. The hinge can rotate along the rotating shaft. The rotation of the hinge drives the rotation of the connecting rod, which in turn drives the rotation of the baffle. The baffle can be opened or closed to facilitate potato feeding and make the device easy to use.

[0018] Preferably, a connecting structure is installed on one side of the outer casing. The connecting structure includes a second mounting buckle, a second mounting groove, a second snap fastener, and a limiting block. The limiting block is installed on one side of the outer casing, and a second mounting groove is installed on one side of the limiting block. A second mounting buckle is movably connected to one side of the second mounting groove, and a second snap fastener is installed on one side of the second mounting buckle. The limiting block and the outer casing form a locking structure. The limiting block can limit the fixing rod and the blade. The second mounting buckle can slide inside the second mounting groove. The sliding of the second mounting buckle can drive the second snap fastener to snap into the limiting block to fix the limiting plate. By pulling open the second snap fastener, the limiting plate can be removed. After removing the limiting plate, a part of the fixing rod can be stored inside the outer casing.

[0019] Preferably, a locking block is provided on one side of the limiting block, and a locking groove is provided on one side of the outer shell. The limiting block and the outer shell form a locking structure, which facilitates disassembly.

[0020] Preferably, a slider is provided on one side of the second mounting buckle, and a sliding groove is provided on one side of the second mounting slot. The second mounting buckle and the second mounting slot form a sliding structure, and the second mounting buckle can slide inside the second mounting slot.

[0021] Preferably, the movable structure includes a plate, a rotating shaft, a positioning block, a rotating wheel, and a fixing buckle. The plate is installed at the bottom of the outer shell, the rotating shaft is installed at the bottom of the plate, the positioning block is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft, the rotating wheel is installed at the bottom of the positioning block, and a fixing buckle is installed on one side of the rotating wheel. The device can move by the rotating wheel and the rotating wheel can be fixed by the fixing buckle.

[0022] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0023] The automatic potato cutter provided by this invention has the following advantages: A blade is movably connected inside the mounting housing, forming a locking structure with the mounting housing. The blade can be locked into the mounting housing, and the first mounting buckle can slide inside the first mounting groove. This sliding motion of the first mounting buckle moves the first latch, which then locks into the groove on the blade, securing it in place. When the blade needs to be replaced, the first mounting buckle is moved to release it from the blade, allowing the handle to be grasped and the blade pulled out of the mounting housing for replacement. This achieves the goal of facilitating blade disassembly in the automatic potato cutter.

[0024] By installing a limiting block on one side of the outer shell, the limiting block and the outer shell form a locking structure. The limiting block can limit the fixing rod and the blade. The second mounting buckle can slide inside the second mounting groove. The sliding of the second mounting buckle can drive the second buckle to engage inside the limiting block to fix the limiting plate. By pulling open the second buckle, the limiting plate can be removed. After removing the limiting plate, part of the fixing rod can be stored inside the outer shell, thereby achieving the purpose of easy storage of the automatic potato cutter.

[0025] By installing a hinge at the top of the outer casing, the hinge can rotate along the pivot. The rotation of the hinge drives the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle to rotate. The baffle can be opened or closed to facilitate potato feeding and make the device easy to use. This achieves the purpose of making it easy to adjust the baffle angle in the automatic potato cutter.
