When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0026] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] First, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the present invention provides a cutting tool comprising a shank 1, a connecting sleeve 2, a blade holder 3, a cutting blade 4, and a guide member 5. The connecting sleeve 2 is mounted on the shank 1 and can rotate synchronously with the shank 1. The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2 is provided with a corrugated groove 21. The blade holder 3 is mounted on the connecting sleeve 2 and has a through hole in its side wall. The cutting blade 4 is mounted on the blade holder 3. One end of the guide member 5 extends through the through hole and into the corrugated groove 21.

[0028] In a specific application, the knife rod 1 of the tool is connected to the output end of the driving motor of the food processor. When the driving motor is energized, the knife rod 1 drives the connecting sleeve 2 to rotate synchronously. The connecting sleeve 2 drives the cutting knife 4 to rotate while floating up and down through the corrugated groove 21 on its outer wall and the guide member 5 of the through hole penetrating the side wall of the knife seat 3, so that the cutting height of the cutting knife 4 is expanded, so that the food in the container can be fully processed.

[0029] Specifically, the corrugated groove 21 includes at least one upwardly curved first groove 211 and at least one downwardly curved second groove 212, with the first groove 211 and the second groove 212 being sequentially connected. In a specific application, the first groove 211 and the second groove 212 each have a curved ascending section and a curved descending section. When one end of the guide member 5 is located within the curved ascending section of the first groove 211 and the curved ascending section of the second groove 212, the tool holder 3 drives the cutting blade 4 downward. When one end of the guide member 5 is located within the curved descending section of the first groove 211 and the curved descending section of the second groove 212, the tool holder 3 drives the cutting blade 4 upward.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the cross-section of the corrugated groove 21 is semicircular, and the end surface of one end of the guide member 5 is hemispherical. This technical solution improves the smoothness of the corrugated groove 21 and one end of the guide member 5, thereby reducing the contact area between the two and lowering friction.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments, a plug 6 is provided at one end of the connecting sleeve 2. An elastic member 7 is disposed within the connecting sleeve 2, with both ends of the elastic member 7 respectively abutting against the plug 6 and the cutter bar 1. In specific applications, the provision of the elastic member 7 within the connecting sleeve 2 allows the cutter bar 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 to move relative to each other in the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 2, thereby enabling the cutter to accommodate containers of varying heights. Specifically, the elastic member 7 may be a spring.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the inner sidewall of the connecting sleeve 2 has an inwardly protruding bump 22, and the sidewall of the tool rod 1 is provided with a groove 11. The bump 22 is located in the groove 11 and can move within the groove 11. In specific applications, the cooperation between the bump 22 and the groove 11 can not only guide the tool rod 1 to ensure the movement accuracy of the tool rod 1 when it moves relative to the connecting sleeve 2, but also limit the tool rod 1 to prevent separation of the tool rod 1 and the connecting sleeve 2.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, one end of the shank 1 has a blind hole 12, and one end of the elastic member 7 extends into the blind hole 12. In specific applications, the blind hole 12 can limit and guide one end of the elastic member 7 to prevent the elastic member 7 from deforming in the connecting sleeve 2.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the elastic member 7 is located within the blind hole 12, a limiting sleeve 8 is provided at the opening of the blind hole 12, and a push rod 9 is provided within the connecting sleeve 2. One end of the push rod 9 abuts the plug 6, and the other end of the push rod 9 passes through the limiting sleeve 8 and extends into the blind hole 12 to abut the elastic member 7. This technical solution allows the elastic member 7 to be completely located within the blind hole 12, further enhancing the limiting and guiding effects of the elastic member 7 compared to a case where only one end of the elastic member 7 is located within the blind hole 12.

[0035] Specifically, the outer diameter of the elastic member 7 is adapted to the aperture of the blind hole 12 , so as to ensure that the blind hole 12 effectively restricts and guides the elastic member 7 .

[0036] Specifically, the sidewall of the other end of the push rod 9 has an outwardly extending extension platform 91, and the limiting sleeve 834 has a stepped platform 81, and the extension platform 91 movably abuts against the stepped platform 81. The stepped platform 81 cooperates with the extension platform 91 to effectively limit the axial position of the push rod 9, thereby preventing the other end of the push rod 9 from being disengaged from the blind hole 12.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, the side wall of the above-mentioned shank 1 has an open groove 13 connected to the groove 11. This technical solution can facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2. Specifically, when assembling the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2, first, align the open groove 13 with the protrusion 22; second, apply force to cause the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 to move relative to each other in the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 2, so that the protrusion 22 is inserted into the open groove 13; finally, after the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 no longer move relative to each other, apply a torque force to cause the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 to rotate relative to each other, so that the protrusion 22 is inserted into the groove 11, thereby completing the assembly of the shank 1 and the connecting sleeve 2; for disassembly, the above steps can be repeated in reverse.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the sidewalls of the groove 11 and / or the sidewalls of the open groove 13 are provided with protrusions 14, which correspond to the connection point between the groove 11 and the open groove 13. In specific applications, when the tool rod 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 move relative to each other until the protrusion 22 corresponds to the connection point between the groove 11 and the open groove 13, the protrusion 14 can block the protrusion 22, preventing the tool rod 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 from rotating relative to each other so that the protrusion 22 enters the open groove 13, thereby separating the tool rod 1 and the connecting sleeve 2.

[0039] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a food processor comprising a drive motor and a cutting tool according to the first aspect, wherein a cutter bar 1 of the cutter bar is connected to the output terminal of the drive motor. In a specific application, the cutter bar is placed in a container, and the drive motor is energized to drive the cutter bar 1, which in turn causes a connecting sleeve 2 to rotate synchronously. The connecting sleeve 2, through the corrugated grooves 21 on its outer wall and in conjunction with a guide member 5 extending through a through hole in the side wall of a cutter holder 3, drives a cutting blade 4 to rotate within the container while simultaneously floating up and down, thereby increasing the cutting height of the cutting blade 4 and thereby fully processing the food within the container.

[0040] Specifically, the above-mentioned food processor is a meat grinder, a blender, a wall breaking machine or a soy milk maker.

[0041] To sum up, in one or more embodiments of the present invention, the knife and food processor of the present invention are provided with a corrugated groove on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve and one end of the guide is designed to be a through hole that passes through the side wall of the knife holder and extends into the corrugated groove. When the knife rod drives the connecting sleeve to rotate synchronously, the knife holder can drive the cutting knife to float up and down while rotating under the cooperation of the corrugated groove and the guide member, thereby achieving full processing of the food in the container.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
