[0002] A vegetable cutter is a kitchen appliance used for quickly and efficiently cutting food ingredients. It can save time, reduce the labor intensity of manual vegetable cutting, and usually provide a uniform cutting effect.
[0003] When the existing vegetable cutter is feeding, it often adopts the direct feeding method. After this method is adopted, the vegetable stains and moisture generated on the cutting surface of the food ingredients adhere to the cutting surface. After cutting, the food ingredients are not easy to separate, which affects subsequent cutting. At the same time, if the vegetable stains and moisture are not cleaned in time, they are easy to adhere to other impurities after drying, affecting the appearance and food hygiene. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that when the existing vegetable cutter adopts the direct feeding method, the vegetable stains and moisture generated on the cutting surface of the food ingredients adhere to the cutting surface. After cutting, the food ingredients are not easy to separate, which affects subsequent cutting. At the same time, if the vegetable stains and moisture are not cleaned in time, they are easy to adhere to other impurities after drying, affecting the appearance and food hygiene, and provide a feeding structure for a vegetable cutter.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be realized by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A feeding structure for a vegetable cutter includes a feeding hopper. A bent pipe communicating with the inside of the feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding hopper. By fixing the bent pipe on the side wall of the feeding hopper in this way, the normal food ingredient feeding process is not disturbed. Water source or / and gas source such as an external water pump, an air pump or tap water is connected to the bent pipe for water supply or / and gas supply. By introducing water flow, the adhesion relationship between the cut food ingredients and the cutting surface is disrupted, and the vegetable stains and moisture are taken away. At the same time, the water flow splashes, so as to guide the movement of the food ingredients in some dead corner positions, reducing the probability of food ingredient piling up. By introducing gas source, the vegetable cutter accessories that have been rinsed can be quickly air-dried, or by combining the gas source and the water source, the impact effect can be improved.

[0009] A further solution of the present utility model: The feeding member is a direct pusher. A strip hole is provided on the outer wall of the direct pusher adjacent to the elbow pipe. A plurality of water leakage holes are evenly provided on the bottom surface of the direct pusher. In this way, the inflow of the elbow pipe can be introduced into the direct pusher and seep down through the water leakage holes, so as to rinse the vegetable stains and moisture generated by the cut food during the process of pushing the material.
[0010] A further solution of the present utility model: The feeding member is an inclined pusher. An oblong hole is provided on the outer wall of the inclined pusher adjacent to the elbow pipe. A discharging hole is provided on the bottom surface of the inclined pusher. By changing the large diameter to a small diameter, for some small-sized foods, it can limit the splashing of the foods during the movement on the cutting board, and improve the cutting efficiency of small-sized foods.
[0011] A further solution of the present utility model: A plurality of vertically arranged partition plates are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the inner inclined surface of the inclined pusher to limit the orientation of small-sized foods by setting the partition plates.
[0012] A further solution of the present utility model: A rectangular notch is provided on the side wall of the feeding hopper opposite to the elbow pipe. A docking nozzle is embedded and fixed at the end of the elbow pipe located in the feeding hopper, which is convenient for the feeding member to avoid the docking nozzle, enter horizontally from the side, and then push up and down.
[0013] A further solution of the present utility model: A sliding plate is slidably connected inside the strip hole. A docking pipe for docking with the docking nozzle is embedded and fixed inside the sliding plate. One end of the docking pipe is connected to one end of a hose. The other end of the hose is connected to a plurality of spray heads through a one-into-many flow divider. The spray heads are embedded and fixed at the bottom of the direct pusher, and the spray holes of the spray heads are located at the lower part of the direct pusher. The spray is carried out by connecting the hose to the spray heads to improve the impact effect of the water flow, so as to strongly impact some stubborn stains.
[0014] A further solution of the present utility model: An inwardly recessed avoidance inner fold is provided on the outer wall of the inclined pusher adjacent to the docking nozzle. By setting the avoidance inner fold, the protruding docking nozzle can be avoided from interfering with the up and down movement of the inclined pusher.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:
[0016] 1. By fixing an elbow pipe on the side wall of the feeding hopper, this method does not interfere with the normal process of ingredient input. Water source or / and gas source such as an external water pump, air pump or tap water is connected to the elbow pipe for water supply or / and gas supply. By introducing water flow, the attachment relationship between the cut ingredients and the cutting surface is disrupted, and the vegetable stains and moisture are carried away to achieve the purpose of cleaning. At the same time, the water splashes, so as to impact and guide the movement of the ingredients at some dead corner positions, reduce the probability of ingredient piling, improve the cutting efficiency and reduce the difficulty of later cleaning. By introducing gas source, the accessories of the vegetable cutter that have been rinsed are quickly air-dried, or by combining the gas source and water source, the impact effect is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Please refer toFigures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a feeding structure for a vegetable cutting machine includes a feeding hopper 10. A bent pipe 11 that is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding hopper 10 and communicates with the inside of the feeding hopper 10 is provided. In the daily feeding process, an external water pump, air pump, tap water or other water sources or / and air sources are used for water supply or / and air supply. The external water source thus flushes the vegetable stains generated during the cutting process of the vegetable cutting machine. The flowing water drives the cut food materials into the designated recovery area. The air source quickly dries the already rinsed accessories of the vegetable cutting machine, or by combining the air source and the water source, the impact effect is improved.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the feeding hopper 10 is equipped with a feeding member 20. By setting the feeding member 20, it is avoided that the user's hand directly participates in the input of food materials, and the safety of food material input is improved.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the feeding member 20 is a straight pusher 21. A strip hole 211 is opened on the outer wall of the straight pusher 21 adjacent to the bent pipe 11. A plurality of water leakage holes 212 are evenly opened on the bottom surface of the straight pusher 21. In this way, when the user uses the straight pusher 21 to push the food materials, the water flow shoots into the straight pusher 21 from the bent pipe 11 through the strip hole 211 and flows out through the water leakage holes 212 to wash the food materials;
[0029] A plurality of pointed cones 213 are evenly fixed on the bottom surface of the straight pusher 21. The firmness between the straight pusher 21 and the food materials is improved through the pointed cones 213, and it is avoided that during the movement of the knife body of the vegetable cutting machine, the food materials are driven to move together, affecting the cutting effect.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the feeding member 20 is an inclined pusher 22. A waist-shaped hole 222 is opened on the outer wall of the inclined pusher 22 adjacent to the bent pipe 11. A discharge hole 221 is opened on the bottom surface of the inclined pusher 22. The cross-sectional contour of the inclined pusher 22 is a right trapezoid. By setting such a structure, some small food materials such as red peppers, garlic cloves, and ginger can be centrally guided in daily life, and it is avoided that during the cutting process of the vegetable cutting machine, the small food materials splash during the movement of the knife board, affecting the cutting effect. At the same time, by introducing the water flow from the waist-shaped hole 222, during the cutting process, the water flow is used to wash the vegetable stains and guide the food materials into the designated area;
[0031] A plurality of vertically arranged partition plates are evenly fixed on the inner inclined surface of the inclined pusher 22. The attitude of the food materials is limited by the adjacent partition plates. For example, the red pepper can have its own orientation limited by the adjacent partition plates.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 3-6As shown in the figure, a rectangular notch 14 is provided on the side wall of the feeding hopper 10 opposite to the elbow 11. The end of the elbow 11 located inside the feeding hopper 10 is embedded and fixed to the docking nozzle 111. A sliding plate 214 is slidably connected inside the slot 211 of the linear pusher 21. A docking pipe 215 is embedded and fixed inside the sliding plate 214. Then, one end of the hose is connected to the docking pipe 215, and the other end of the hose is connected to the corresponding nozzle embedded at the bottom of the linear pusher 21 through a one-in-multiple-out flow divider. The spraying holes of the nozzle are located at the lower part of the linear pusher 21. The docking nozzle 111 is made of silicone or rubber, so that the sealing performance between the docking pipe 215 and the docking nozzle 111 can be improved when they are docked. During use, the linear pusher 21 is translated through the rectangular notch 14 to make the docking pipe 215 communicate with the docking nozzle 111. Then, it is pressed downward to squeeze the food materials below it. The water flow is transported to the nozzle through the hose, and the cleaning effect on stubborn dirt is improved through the nozzle;
[0033] An inwardly concave avoiding inner fold 223 is provided on the outer wall of the inclined pusher 22 adjacent to the docking nozzle 111, so as to avoid the inclined pusher 22 being blocked by the docking nozzle 111 and unable to slide up and down normally during use.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a plugging channel 12 is provided on the side wall of the feeding hopper 10. A grid plate 13 is slidably connected inside the plugging channel 12. After the grid plate 13 is inserted into the plugging channel 12, cross-cutting blades are provided at the position corresponding to the feeding channel of the feeding hopper 10. In this way, after the food materials enter, the food materials can be cut into strips through the cross-cutting blades, and combined with the reciprocating horizontal cutting, the strips can be cut into several diced pieces.
