[0002] Instant noodles are popular among consumers because of their convenience and delicious taste. In the production and processing of instant noodles, the production of noodles requires cutting the fresh noodles pressed out by the noodle press first, so that the formed noodles are divided into separate small portions by weight, and then each small portion of noodles is dried before packaging and shipment; while for vermicelli, the sticky dough needs to be cooked, cooled, and dried before cutting. Since fresh noodles and dried vermicelli have great differences in hardness and stickiness, two different cutting devices are usually used to cut noodles and vermicelli.
[0003] The existing noodle cutting machine can refer to the patent document with the announcement number CN219961819U. The above patent document discloses a noodle cutting machine, in which a belt is arranged downstream of a noodle pressing machine, and a strip-shaped knife is vertically slidably arranged above the belt. During the transmission process, the knife intermittently reciprocates and rises to cut the noodles.
[0004] The existing method of cutting vermicelli is to press and fix the bundled vermicelli, and then use a high-speed rotating cutting disk to quickly cut the vermicelli to prevent the dry and hard vermicelli from breaking and bouncing around. Utility Model Content

[0025] Furthermore, the driven gear is slidably connected to its rotating shaft, and a limiting member is detachably connected to the rotating shaft, and the limiting member is used to limit the sliding of the driven gear.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiter restricts the driven gear from sliding along the rotating shaft, so that the driven gear can be engaged or disengaged with the driving gear by adjusting the position of the limiter and the driven gear as a whole, thereby switching the use state of the noodle cutter. When the driving gear is engaged with the driven gear, the noodle cutter makes intermittent reciprocating rotation; when the driving gear is disengaged from the driven gear, the groove wheel is only driven by the driving gear, so the noodle cutter can be rotated to a position where the pressing part is facing downward, switching to the vermicelli cutting mode.
