[0031] Example 1

[0032] Figures 1 to 4 Embodiment 1 of the utility model is disclosed. In this embodiment, the upper part of the front clamping plate 1 is hinged with the upper part of the rear clamping plate 2, and the clamp body also includes an elastic member capable of driving the lower end of the front clamping plate 1 and the lower end of the rear clamping plate 2 to move closer to each other. The upper end of the front clamping plate 1 is provided with a first hand-held portion 13 bent forward, and the upper end of the rear clamping plate 2 is provided with a second hand-held portion 14 bent backward. The upper edge of the first hand-held portion 13 and the upper edge of the second hand-held portion 14 are both located above the rotation axis of the front clamping plate 1 and the rear clamping plate 2. The above-mentioned elastic member is preferably a torsion spring 3, and elastic devices such as tension springs and compression springs can also be used.

[0033] In this embodiment, the method for clamping the food processor knife assembly is: the user holds the first holding part 13 and the second holding part 14, and squeezes them hard to open the lower part of the front clamping plate 1 and the lower part of the rear clamping plate 2, and then aligns the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 with the space between the moving knife mounting plate 431 and the support plate 41 respectively, and slowly lets go. Under the elastic force of the elastic member, the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 can be inserted under the moving knife mounting plate 431, and at the same time, the front clamping plate 1 and the rear clamping plate 2 clamp the moving knife, and then the clamp body is lifted upwards, and the support plate 41, the grid knife disc 42, and the moving knife can be removed from the food cup 6, which is convenient and safe.

[0034] Furthermore, a first clamping block 12 is provided on the rear side of the front clamping plate 1, a second clamping block 22 is provided on the front side of the rear clamping plate 2, a first clamping hole 401 with an opening facing forward and into which the first clamping block 12 can be clamped is provided between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the movable blade 432, a second clamping hole with an opening facing backward and into which the second clamping block 22 can be clamped is also provided between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the movable blade 432, and the first clamping block 12 and the second clamping block 22 are staggered from each other in the left and right directions. The first clamping hole 401 and the second clamping hole can be blind holes or through holes. In this solution, when the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 are both inserted into the gap between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the support plate 41, the first clamping block 12 is clamped into the first clamping hole 401, and the second clamping block 22 is clamped into the second clamping hole. The design of the first clamp block 12 and the second clamp block 22 can play a role in positioning and preventing slipping. In the process of lifting the support plate 41 upward through the clamp body, it can ensure that the center of gravity of the support plate 41 is located directly below the clamp body, so that the support plate 41 will not tilt due to the deviation of the center of gravity from the carrying point. Even if the support plate 41 is tilted, the limiting action of the first clamp block 12 and the second clamp block 22 can prevent it from sliding relative to the clamp body or falling off the clamp body.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Figures 5 and 6 Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is shown. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the front clamping plate 1 and the rear clamping plate 2 are connected as a whole, and the front clamping plate 1 and the rear clamping plate 2 together form a V-shaped or U-shaped clamp body.

[0037] In this embodiment, the method for clamping the food processor knife assembly is: in the initial state, the distance between the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 is greater than the width of the moving knife, and then the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 are respectively aligned with the gap between the moving knife mounting plate 431 and the support plate 41, and then the user holds the front clamping plate 1 and the rear clamping plate 2 and squeezes them hard, so that the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 can be inserted under the moving knife mounting plate 431, and then the clamp body is lifted upward, and the support plate 41, the grid knife disc 42, and the moving knife can be removed from the food cup 6, which is convenient and safe.

[0038] Furthermore, a first clamping block 12 is provided on the rear side of the front clamping plate 1, a second clamping block 22 is provided on the front side of the rear clamping plate 2, a first clamping hole 401 with an opening facing forward and into which the first clamping block 12 can be clamped is provided between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the movable blade 432, a second clamping hole with an opening facing backward and into which the second clamping block 22 can be clamped is also provided between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the movable blade 432, and the first clamping block 12 and the second clamping block 22 are staggered from each other in the left and right directions. The first clamping hole 401 and the second clamping hole can be blind holes or through holes. In this solution, when the first hook fastener 11 and the second hook fastener 21 are both inserted into the gap between the movable knife mounting plate 431 and the support plate 41, the first clamping block 12 is clamped into the first clamping hole 401, and the second clamping block 22 is clamped into the second clamping hole. The design of the first clamp block 12 and the second clamp block 22 can play a role in positioning and preventing slipping. In the process of lifting the support plate 41 upward through the clamp body, it can ensure that the center of gravity of the support plate 41 is located directly below the clamp body, so that the support plate 41 will not tilt due to the deviation of the center of gravity from the carrying point. Even if the support plate 41 is tilted, the limiting action of the first clamp block 12 and the second clamp block 22 can prevent it from sliding relative to the clamp body or falling off the clamp body.

[0039] Furthermore, the front surface of the front clamping plate 1 and the rear surface of the rear clamping plate 2 are both provided with anti-skid patterns. The anti-skid patterns are U-shaped convex ribs 8, and the openings of the U-shaped convex ribs 8 face downward. When the user holds the clamp body, the user's fingers are held in the area surrounded by the U-shaped convex ribs 8, and when the support plate 41 is lifted, the U-shaped convex ribs 8 can play a role in preventing slipping and falling off.

[0040] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
