Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular relates to a cutting machine that is safe to use. Background Art

[0002] Patent CN218614312U discloses a fully automatic vegetable cutter, which includes a vegetable cutting assembly, which includes a feed seat, a roller knife holder and a blade. The blade is slidably built into the roller knife holder, and the roller knife holder is built into the feed seat. The peripheral wall of the roller knife holder and the inner wall of the feed seat are gap-fitted. When in use, the roller knife holder is driven to rotate so that the blade cuts the vegetables in the feed seat, realizing fully automatic operation.

[0003] There are also some meat slicers that can be used for cutting meat ingredients in the prior art. The meat slicer includes a meat cutting assembly, which includes a knife holder and two knife groups. Each knife group includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the knife holder and at least two blades arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The rotating shafts of the two knife groups are arranged side by side, and the rotating shafts of the two knife groups are driven to rotate towards each other to achieve cutting of meat ingredients.

[0004] However, existing automatic vegetable cutters for kitchens are limited to cutting vegetables and cannot cut meat ingredients. Automatic meat cutters can only cut meat, with a single function that cannot meet users' diverse side dish needs. During the research and development process, the applicant proposed a multifunctional vegetable cutter that integrates the aforementioned vegetable and meat cutting components. These components selectively utilize the same processing chamber, enriching processing functions while saving costs. Furthermore, the vegetable cutter is compact and more convenient for home use.

[0005] During further research, the applicant discovered that the drum blade holder of the vegetable cutting component is cylindrical, while the blade holder of the meat cutting component is flat to accommodate two sets of parallel blade shafts. The length of its cross section is greater than that of the vegetable cutting component. Generally, in order to meet safety regulations, it is necessary to control the gap between the meat cutting component and the wall of the processing chamber. The processing chamber must at least follow the shape of the larger meat cutting component. This results in a larger gap between the outlet of the vegetable cutting component and the processing chamber when cutting vegetables. If the user's fingers are inserted into the gap, it will be dangerous, posing a major safety hazard. Generally, whether there is a finger pinching problem at the outlet of the noodle press is generally tested by a test finger. The test finger described in this application is based on Article 8.1.1 of GB4706.1-2005 and IEC61032:1997. Figure 2 The B-type test finger made in accordance with relevant IEC61032, UL and other corresponding clauses has the following specific dimensions: the diameter of the bent finger is 12mm, the length of the bent finger is 80mm (total length of three sections), the diameter of the baffle is 50mm, and the length of the baffle is 100mm. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a cutting machine that is safe to use. Based on a model in which a vegetable cutting component and a meat cutting component selectively use the same processing chamber for processing, the problem of the risk of fingers being pinched when the cutting machine is in the vegetable cutting state is solved.

[0008] The utility model provides a safe cutting machine, in which the vegetable cutting component and the meat cutting component are selectively installed in the processing chamber from the installation port, so that the cutting machine has a vegetable cutting state and a meat cutting state, thereby enriching the function of the cutting machine, which can not only cut meat but also cut vegetables, realizes multi-purpose use of one machine, saves costs, and meets the user's needs for various food processing. On this basis, a baffle plate extending along the radial direction of the knife cylinder is provided, in the vegetable cutting state, the baffle plate is located at the installation port, thereby reducing the gap between the knife cylinder and the wall of the processing chamber, so that the test finger cannot be extended to touch the cutting knife, meeting the safety requirements, and the user's fingers generally will not enter the gap, effectively preventing the user's fingers from being scratched by the cutting knife or getting stuck, thereby improving the user's safety and experience.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, the two tool shafts are arranged side by side along the length direction of the mounting opening, and the two ends of the baffle along the width direction of the mounting opening protrude from the outer wall of the processing chamber to form a picking portion.

[0010] By positioning the shield plate outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, the user can easily install the shield plate within their visual range. The shield plate is convenient and reliable to install and remove, effectively preventing finger pinching and preventing the blade barrel from getting stuck or the shield plate from falling during cutting due to improper installation. The two blade shafts are arranged side by side along the length of the mounting opening, and the shield plate's ends, along the width of the mounting opening, protrude from the outer wall of the processing chamber to form a gripping portion. This allows the user to easily remove and install the shield plate by pinching the gripping portion along the width of the mounting opening, making operation more convenient.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the baffle is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting opening, and the maximum gap between the edge of the baffle and the inner wall of the processing cavity along the radial direction of the mounting opening is less than or equal to 12 mm, so that the test finger cannot be extended to touch the kitchen knife.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, and the gap between the baffle and the end face of the processing chamber is less than or equal to 12 mm, which indirectly solves the finger pinching problem, so that the test finger cannot enter the gap between the end face of the processing chamber and the baffle, thereby achieving the goal that the test finger cannot enter the gap between the inner wall of the processing chamber and the knife cylinder, and will not touch the kitchen knife.

[0013] More preferably, the outer diameter of the baffle plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting opening, and the maximum gap between the edge of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber along the radial direction of the mounting opening is less than or equal to 4 mm; or, the baffle plate is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, and the gap between the baffle plate and the end face of the processing chamber is less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0014] Although the diameter of the bent finger of the test finger used for safety testing is 12mm, which is generally about the size of the index finger of an adult, which is often used and easily pinched in the gap between the knife barrel and the processing chamber, and considering that the user's little finger is also at risk of being pinched, and that ignorant children may also insert their fingers into the gap between the knife barrel and the processing chamber, in order to solve this problem, by limiting the above-mentioned gap to 4mm, the risk of pinching hands in various scenarios and for various groups of people is further reduced, thereby improving safety of use.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the knife cylinder has a dish-discharging end close to one end of the mounting port, the shielding plate is integrally formed with the dish-discharging end, and the shielding plate is folded outward from the dish-discharging end along the radial direction of the knife cylinder.

In addition, the number of parts of the whole machine is reduced, and the loss of the shielding plate is avoided. The shielding plate is folded outward along the radial direction of the knife cylinder from the dish-discharging end. In addition to having a shielding and protective effect, the shielding plate can also facilitate the removal and installation of the knife cylinder, thereby improving the user experience.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the shielding plate includes a sleeve portion and a shielding portion, the shielding plate is detachably sleeved with the tool cylinder or the processing chamber via the sleeve portion, and the shielding portion shields the gap between the tool cylinder and the processing chamber.

[0018] The shielding plate includes a sleeve portion and a shielding portion. The sleeve portion is removably connected to the knife barrel or processing chamber, enabling flexible assembly and disassembly of the shielding plate, making it easy to use. Furthermore, the shielding plate can be removed for flexible cleaning, facilitating thorough cleaning of blind spots, preventing dirt from accumulating, and ensuring clean and hygienic use. The shielding portion blocks the gap between the knife barrel and the processing chamber, improving safety.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the sleeve connection portion includes a avoidance hole for exposing the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder and an internal thread or internal snap provided on the inner side of the avoidance hole; or, the sleeve connection portion includes an external thread or external snap provided on the outer periphery of the shielding portion.

[0020] By setting an avoidance hole, which corresponds to the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder or the installation port of the processing chamber to prevent interference, the internal thread or internal snap is used to directly screw or snap-fit ​​the baffle plate to the outer periphery of the knife cylinder or the processing chamber. The sleeve portion includes an external thread or external snap on the outer periphery of the baffle portion, which can be directly screwed or snap-fitted to the inner wall of the knife cylinder or the processing chamber, making the installation of the baffle plate more convenient and labor-saving, and the fixation is reliable.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the shielding plate is an annular plate extending circumferentially around the knife cylinder;

[0022] Alternatively, the shielding plate includes a plurality of divided plates arranged at intervals along the circumference of the knife cylinder.

[0023] Regardless of whether the shielding plate is an annular plate or a split plate, it can block the gap between the knife barrel and the processing chamber to prevent fingers from being pinched and is safe to use. The use of an annular plate can form comprehensive shielding and protection along the circumference of the knife barrel, and the shielding is more thorough. The use of split plates can achieve comprehensive shielding and protection effects by adjusting the spacing between each split plate, and the split plate material is more economical and saves costs.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a lettering layer is provided on the shielding plate.

[0025] The shielding plate itself has a certain area, and a lettering layer is provided on the shielding plate to achieve an identification function. When the shielding plate is fixed to the knife barrel, it can be used to identify the user of the knife barrel, etc., to facilitate user selection.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the tool holder has an outer baffle near one end of the mounting opening, the mounting opening of the processing chamber is configured to follow the contour of the outer baffle, and a test finger cannot extend into the gap between the outer baffle and the processing chamber to touch the meat cleaver.

[0027] By arranging an outer baffle plate near one end of the mounting opening on the knife holder, the mounting opening of the processing chamber is contoured to the outline of the outer baffle plate, thereby achieving volume optimization and beautiful appearance. A test finger cannot be inserted into the gap between the outer baffle plate and the processing chamber to touch the meat cleaver. Therefore, in the meat cutting state, the problem of the user's finger accidentally entering the gap between the knife holder and the processing chamber and being scratched or clamped by the meat cleaver is solved. Therefore, the user's safety and experience can be improved in various usage scenarios such as the meat cutting state and the vegetable cutting state.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the shielding plate is provided with an extension plate extending along the axial direction of the processing chamber and located outside the installation port.

[0029] By arranging an extension plate on the baffle plate that extends axially along the processing chamber and is located outside the installation port, the extension plate extends out of the installation port to form a taking position to facilitate user disassembly and installation. Especially when the baffle plate is hidden in the processing chamber to achieve a compact structure and small size of the entire machine, the extension plate can also be used to take it, which greatly facilitates user operation.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the processing chamber is in the shape of a horizontal cylinder, one end of the processing chamber is connected to the main machine, and the other end forms a suspended end, the mounting port is located at the suspended end and corresponds to the vegetable outlet end of the knife cylinder, and a meat outlet is also provided at the lower part of the processing chamber, and the cutting machine also includes a material receiving box, and a partition is provided on the inner side of the material receiving box to separate the inner cavity of the material receiving box into a vegetable receiving chamber and a meat receiving chamber, the meat receiving chamber is located below the meat outlet, and the vegetable receiving chamber is located below the mounting port.

[0031] More preferably, the suspended end of the processing chamber is supported on the top end of the partition.

[0032] By arranging a partition on the inner side of the material receiving box, the inner cavity of the material receiving box is divided into a vegetable receiving cavity and a meat receiving cavity, thereby achieving separation of different materials, making it convenient for users to fry them separately, and avoiding the problem of cross-flavoring.

[0033] By supporting the suspended end of the processing chamber on the top of the partition, the partition and the main machine jointly support the processing chamber, thereby improving the stability of the processing chamber. In the processing state, the vegetable cutting component and the meat cutting component cooperate reliably with the processing chamber, reducing processing noise.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the material cutting machine further comprises a movably arranged material receiving box, the material receiving box is provided with a first magnet, and the main machine is provided with a second magnet which is attracted to the first magnet after the material receiving box is installed in place.

[0035] By installing a material receiving box with a first magnet on it and a second magnet on the main machine, the first and second magnets engage with each other once the receiving box is in place, ensuring stable installation of the receiving box and preventing vibrations from the main machine during processing, which could cause the receiving box to shift and spill material. Furthermore, the mutual attraction between the first and second magnets provides a guide during installation, helping users quickly and accurately install the receiving box, saving effort.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the cutting machine also includes a material receiving box, the main machine is provided with a mounting cavity with a side opening and located below the processing cavity, the material receiving box can be pulled out and installed in the mounting cavity, the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a sensing protrusion, and the material receiving box is provided with a groove, and the sensing protrusion cooperates with the groove so that the material receiving box is limited in the mounting cavity.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0056] The present invention provides a safe cutting machine in one embodiment. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a main body 10, a processing chamber 11 installed on the main body 10, a vegetable cutting component 20 and a meat cutting component 30, the processing chamber 11 is provided with a mounting port 12, the vegetable cutting component 20 and the meat cutting component 30 are selectively installed in the processing chamber 11 from the mounting port 12, so that the cutting machine has a vegetable cutting state and a meat cutting state, the vegetable cutting component 20 includes a knife cylinder 21 and a vegetable cutting knife 22 installed on the side wall of the knife cylinder 21, the meat cutting component 30 includes a knife holder 31, two knife shafts 32 arranged side by side on the knife holder 31 and a meat cutting knife 33 installed on each knife shaft 32, and the cutting machine also includes a shielding plate 40 located outside the vegetable cutting knife and extending along the radial direction of the knife cylinder 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, in the cutting state, the shielding plate 40 is located at the mounting opening 12 , and the shielding plate 40 blocks the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the cavity wall of the processing cavity 11 until the test finger cannot be inserted into and touch the cutting knife 22 .

[0057] The utility model provides a safe cutting machine, wherein the vegetable cutting component 20 and the meat cutting component 30 are selectively installed in the processing chamber 11 from the installation port 12, so that the cutting machine has a vegetable cutting state and a meat cutting state, thereby enriching the function of the cutting machine, not only being able to cut meat but also to cut vegetables, realizing multi-purpose of one machine, saving costs, and meeting the needs of users for processing a variety of foods. On this basis, referring to Figure 2 , because the processing chamber 11 needs to accommodate the flat meat cutting assembly 30, the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11 is relatively large. For example, the mounting opening 12 has a length along the X direction and a width along the Y direction. When the meat cutting assembly 30 is cutting meat, there is a small risk of pinching the hand. However, when the vegetable cutting assembly 20 is cutting vegetables, the knife cylinder 21 is a regular circle, and a large gap is formed between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11, especially along the length X direction. Therefore, by providing a shielding plate 40 located outside the vegetable cutting knife and extending along the radial direction of the knife cylinder 21, in the vegetable cutting state, the shielding plate 40 is located at the mounting opening 12, thereby reducing the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the cavity wall of the processing chamber 11, so that the test finger cannot be extended to touch the vegetable cutting knife 22, meeting the safety requirements. Moreover, the user's fingers generally will not enter the gap, effectively preventing the user's fingers from being scratched by the vegetable cutting knife 22 or getting stuck and pinched, thereby improving the user's safety and experience.

[0058] It should be noted that the shielding plate 40 can shield the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the wall of the processing chamber 11 so that the test finger cannot be inserted into and touch the cutting knife 22 in a variety of ways, for example:

[0059] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the shielding plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting opening, and the maximum radial clearance between the edge of the shielding plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber along the mounting opening is less than or equal to 12 mm, preventing the test finger from reaching the cutting knife. It should be noted that for shielding plates with irregular shapes, this refers to the length of the shortest of multiple line segments passing through the center of the shielding plate. Furthermore, it is understood that the shielding plate may optionally form a gap along the entire circumference between the shielding plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber, or may only form a gap between the edge of the shielding plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber.

[0060] More specifically, in this embodiment, the baffle plate can be located inside or outside the mounting opening. When the baffle plate is located inside the mounting opening, the maximum gap between the edge of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber along the radial direction of the mounting opening is the distance between the edge of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber; when the baffle plate is located outside the mounting opening, it refers to the distance between the projection of the baffle plate along the plane where the mounting opening is located and the inner wall of the processing chamber.

[0061] In another embodiment, the shielding plate is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, and the gap between the shielding plate and the end face of the processing chamber is less than or equal to 12 mm. This embodiment indirectly solves the finger pinching problem. Because the shielding plate is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, the user's finger can only enter the processing chamber by bending the finger and passing through the gap between the end face of the processing chamber and the shielding plate. Therefore, the test finger cannot enter the gap between the end face of the processing chamber and the shielding plate. In addition, the test finger cannot enter the gap between the inner wall of the processing chamber and the knife barrel, and will not touch the kitchen knife.

[0062] Based on the above two different implementations, the outer diameter of the baffle plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting opening, and the maximum gap between the edge of the baffle plate and the inner wall of the processing chamber along the radial direction of the mounting opening is less than or equal to 4 mm; or, the baffle plate is located outside the mounting opening of the processing chamber, and the gap between the baffle plate and the end face of the processing chamber is less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0063] Although the diameter of the bent finger of the test finger used for safety testing is 12 mm, which is generally about the size of the index finger of an adult that is used more frequently and is easily pinched in the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11, and considering that the user's little finger is also at risk of being pinched and that ignorant children may also insert their fingers into the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11, in order to solve this problem, the above-mentioned gap is further narrowed to 4 mm, further reducing the risk of pinching hands in various scenarios and for various groups of people, and improving safety of use.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the tool holder 31 has an outer baffle 34 near one end of the mounting opening 12, the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11 and the contour of the outer baffle 34 are configured to imitate each other, and the gap between the outer baffle 34 and the processing chamber 11 is such that a test finger cannot extend into and touch the meat cleaver 33.

[0065] By arranging an outer baffle 34 near one end of the mounting opening 12 on the tool holder 31, the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11 is contoured to the outer baffle 34, thereby achieving volume optimization and beautiful appearance. The test finger cannot reach the gap between the outer baffle 34 and the processing chamber 11 to touch the meat cleaver 33. Therefore, in the meat cutting state, the problem of the user's finger accidentally entering the gap between the tool holder 31 and the processing chamber 11 and being scratched or clamped by the meat cleaver 33 is solved. Therefore, the user's safety and experience can be improved in various usage scenarios such as the meat cutting state and the vegetable cutting state.

[0066] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the installation method of the shielding plate 40, and any of the following implementation examples may be used:

[0067] Implementation Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the knife cylinder 21 has a dish-discharging end close to one end of the mounting opening 12 , the shielding plate 40 is integrally formed with the dish-discharging end, and the shielding plate 40 is folded outwardly from the dish-discharging end along the radial direction of the knife cylinder 21 .

[0068] By integrally forming the shielding plate 40 with the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21, the shielding plate 40 can be disassembled and assembled together with the knife cylinder 21, saving installation steps and making user operation more convenient. Moreover, the number of parts of the whole machine is reduced, and the loss of the shielding plate 40 is avoided. The shielding plate 40 is folded outward along the radial direction of the knife cylinder 21 from the dish-discharging end. In addition to having a shielding and protective effect, the shielding plate 40 can also facilitate the removal and installation of the knife cylinder 21, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] Implementation Example 2, such as Figure 5 、 6 As shown, the difference from the embodiment 1 is that the shielding plate 40 in this embodiment is detachable. Specifically, the shielding plate 40 includes a sleeve portion 41 and a shielding portion 42. The sleeve portion 41 is detachably sleeved with the knife cylinder 21 or the processing chamber 11, and the shielding portion 42 shields the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11. In this embodiment, preferably, as Figure 5 As shown, the shielding plate 40 is detachably connected to the knife cylinder 21 .

[0070] The shielding plate 40 includes a sleeve portion and a shielding portion. The sleeve portion is removably connected to the knife barrel 21 or the processing chamber 11, enabling flexible assembly and disassembly of the shielding plate 40, making it easy to use. Furthermore, the shielding plate 40 can be removed for flexible cleaning, and it is also convenient to thoroughly clean dead corners, avoiding the accumulation of dirt and grime, and ensuring clean and hygienic use. The shielding portion blocks the gap between the knife barrel 21 and the processing chamber 11, improving safety in use.

[0071] More specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve portion 41 includes a avoidance hole 43 for exposing the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21 and an internal thread provided on the inner side of the avoidance hole. An external thread is provided at the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21, and the internal thread and the external thread are rotatably matched.

[0072] Of course, the sleeve connection part is not limited to the above structure, and can also be an inner buckle provided on the inner side of the avoidance hole. The inner buckle can be a rotary buckle or an elastic buckle, and a buckle position that cooperates with the inner buckle is provided at the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21.

[0073] Alternatively, the sleeve connection portion is an external thread or an external snap provided on the outer periphery of the shielding portion, and an internal thread or an internal snap is provided on the inner wall of the knife cylinder 21 so that the shielding plate 40 is sleeved on the inner wall of the knife cylinder 21 .

[0074] This embodiment sets an avoidance hole to correspond to the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21 or the installation port 12 of the processing chamber 11 to prevent interference, and the sleeve portion is an internal thread or an internal snap for directly screwing or snapping on the outer periphery of the knife cylinder 21 or the processing chamber 11, and the sleeve portion is an external thread or an external snap on the outer periphery of the shielding portion, which can be directly screwed or snapped on the inner wall of the knife cylinder 21 or the processing chamber 11, making the installation of the shielding plate 40 more convenient and labor-saving, and the fixation is reliable.

[0075] Implementation Example 3, such as Figure 7 、 8 As shown in , 9 , this embodiment differs from embodiment 2 in that the shielding plate 40 is detachably mounted at the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11 .

[0076] The specific connection method between the shielding plate 40 and the processing chamber 11 can be the same as that in embodiment 2.

[0077] For example, the shielding plate 40 is provided with an avoidance hole 43 for exposing the dish-discharging end of the knife cylinder 21, and the sleeve portion 41 is an internal thread provided on the inner side of the avoidance hole, and an external thread is provided at the mounting port 12 of the processing chamber 11, and the internal thread and the external thread are rotatably matched.

[0078] Similarly, the sleeve connection part is not limited to the above structure, and can also be an internal buckle arranged on the inner side of the avoidance hole. The internal buckle can be a screw buckle or an elastic buckle, and a buckle position that cooperates with the internal buckle is set on the cavity wall of the processing cavity 11.

[0079] Alternatively, the sleeve portion is an external thread or an external snap provided on the outer periphery of the shielding portion, and an internal thread or an internal snap is provided on the cavity wall of the processing cavity 11, so that the shielding plate 40 is sleeved on the inner wall of the processing cavity 11.

[0080] In this embodiment, the mounting opening is flat, so that the shielding plate can be connected to the processing chamber by a snap fastener to achieve reliable installation of the shielding plate. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting opening can be circular to achieve a threaded connection between the shielding plate and the processing chamber.

[0081] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific position of the shielding plate 40 relative to the installation opening 12. The shielding plate 40 can be located outside the installation opening 12 or inside the installation opening 12. In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The baffle plate 40 is located outside the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11. Furthermore, the two tool shafts 32 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the mounting opening 12, and the two ends of the baffle plate 40 along the width direction of the mounting opening 12 protrude from the outer wall of the processing chamber 11 to form a picking portion.

[0082] Preferably, the shielding plate 40 provided in Example 1 is integrally formed with the knife barrel 21 in this embodiment. The shielding plate 40 is a regular circle. The shielding plate 40 protrudes from the mounting opening 12 along the width direction Y, i.e., at its upper and lower ends, to form a convenient access portion for the user to remove the knife barrel 21. It is understood that the access method provided in this embodiment is also applicable to other examples.

[0083] By positioning the shielding plate 40 outside the mounting opening 12 of the processing chamber 11, the user can easily install the shielding plate 40 within their visual range. The shielding plate 40 is convenient and reliable to install and remove, effectively preventing finger pinching and preventing situations such as the knife barrel 21 becoming stuck or the shielding plate 40 falling during cutting due to improper installation of the shielding plate 40. The two blade shafts 32 are arranged side by side along the length of the mounting opening 12. The shielding plate 40 protrudes from the outer wall of the processing chamber 11 at both ends along the width of the mounting opening 12 to form a gripping portion. This allows the user to flexibly remove and install the shielding plate 40 by pinching the gripping portion along the width of the mounting opening 12, making operation more convenient.

[0084] In other embodiments, the baffle plate 40 is located in the mounting opening 12. For example, the baffle plate 40 extends from the outer wall of the knife cylinder 21 toward the inner wall of the processing chamber 11 to narrow the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11, and only a small gap is left between the edge of the baffle plate 40 and the inner wall of the processing chamber 11 to prevent the knife cylinder 21 from rotating.

[0085] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method for achieving convenient taking. In other preferred embodiments, for example:

[0086] Implementation Example 4, such as Figure 10 As shown, the shielding plate 40 is provided with an extension plate 50 extending axially along the processing chamber 11 and located outside the installation opening 12 .

[0087] It is understandable that, for this embodiment, the shielding plate 40 can be located inside the installation opening 12 and hidden in the processing chamber 11 , or can be located outside the installation opening 12 .

[0088] By providing an extension plate 50 on the baffle plate 40 that extends axially along the processing chamber 11 and is located on the outside of the installation port 12, the extension plate 50 extends out of the installation port 12 to form a taking position to facilitate user disassembly and installation. Especially when the baffle plate 40 is hidden in the processing chamber 11 to achieve a compact structure and small size of the entire machine, the extension plate 50 can also be used to take it, which greatly facilitates user operation.

[0089] In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, the shielding plate 40 is an annular plate extending circumferentially around the knife cylinder 21. Of course, in other embodiments, for example:

[0090] Implementation Example 5, such as Figure 11 As shown, the shielding plate 40 includes a plurality of divided plates 401 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the knife cylinder 21 .

[0091] It can be understood that no matter whether the shielding plate 40 adopts an annular plate or a split plate 401, it can block the gap between the knife cylinder 21 and the processing chamber 11 to prevent fingers from being pinched and ensure safe use. The use of an annular plate can form comprehensive shielding and protection along the circumference of the knife cylinder 21, and the shielding is more thorough. The use of split plates 401 can achieve comprehensive shielding and protection effects by adjusting the spacing between each split plate 401, and the split plate 401 saves more material and saves costs.

[0092] Preferably, the distance between adjacent sub-plates 401 is less than 12 mm.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, a lettering layer is provided on the shielding plate 40. The shielding plate 40 itself has a certain area, and the lettering layer provided on the shielding plate 40 can also be used for identification. When the shielding plate 40 is fixed to the knife barrel 21, it can be used to identify the user of the knife barrel 21, etc., making it easier for users to choose.

[0094] Reference Figure 1 The shielding plate 40 is integrated with the knife cylinder 21, and a "hard food knife set" is set on the shielding plate 40 to identify the user of the knife cylinder 21.

[0095] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the shape of the processing chamber 11. In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the processing chamber 11 is in a horizontally arranged cylindrical shape. One end of the processing chamber 11 is connected to the main machine 10, and the other end forms a suspended end. The installation port 12 is located at the suspended end and corresponds to the vegetable outlet end of the knife cylinder 21. The lower part of the processing chamber 11 is also provided with a meat outlet 13. The cutting machine also includes a material receiving box 60. Figure 3 As shown, a partition 70 is provided on the inner side of the material receiving box to separate the inner cavity of the material receiving box into a vegetable receiving chamber 61 and a meat receiving chamber 62. The meat receiving chamber 62 is located below the meat outlet 13, and the vegetable receiving chamber 61 is located below the installation port 12. More preferably, the suspended end of the processing chamber 11 is supported on the top end of the partition 70.

[0096] By arranging a partition on the inner side of the material receiving box, the inner cavity of the material receiving box is divided into a vegetable receiving cavity and a meat receiving cavity, thereby achieving separation of different materials, making it convenient for users to fry them separately, and avoiding the problem of cross-flavoring.

[0097] By supporting the suspended end of the processing chamber 11 on the top of the partition, the partition and the main unit 10 jointly support the processing chamber 11, thereby improving the stability of the processing chamber 11. In the processing state, the vegetable cutting component 20 and the meat cutting component 30 cooperate reliably with the processing chamber 11, thereby reducing processing noise.

[0098] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the installation and limiting method of the material receiving box. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the material cutting machine also includes a movably arranged material receiving box, the material receiving box is provided with a first magnet, and the main unit 10 is provided with a second magnet that is attracted to the first magnet after the material receiving box is installed in place.

[0099] By providing a material receiving box with a first magnet disposed on the receiving box and a second magnet disposed on the main unit 10, once the receiving box is in place, the first and second magnets attract each other, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the receiving box and preventing the receiving box from shifting due to vibration of the main unit 10 during processing, thereby preventing material from spilling. Furthermore, the mutual attraction between the first and second magnets provides a guide for the user during installation of the receiving box, assisting the user in quickly and accurately installing the receiving box, and saving installation effort.

[0100] Of course, in another preferred embodiment, the receiving box is provided with a third magnet, and the host 10 is provided with a Hall element or a reed switch for sensing the third magnet to detect the position of the receiving box.

[0101] Regarding the installation limit of the material receiving box, in another preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3, the cutting machine also includes a material receiving box 60, the main machine 10 is provided with a mounting cavity with a side opening and located below the processing cavity 11, the material receiving box can be pulled out and installed in the mounting cavity, the inner bottom wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a sensing protrusion 80, and the material receiving box is provided with a groove 63, the sensing protrusion 80 cooperates with the groove 63 to limit the material receiving box in the mounting cavity.

[0102] The coordination of the sensor bumps and grooves ensures a stable installation of the material receiving box, preventing the box from shifting and spilling due to vibration of the main machine 10 during processing. Furthermore, the coordination of the sensor bumps and grooves provides a tactile reminder when the material receiving box is properly installed, enhancing the user's installation experience and ensuring accurate installation position.

[0103] It should be noted that the cutting machine provided by the present invention can be electrically driven or manually driven. Specifically, a motor is provided inside the main unit to drive the knife barrel or knife shaft to rotate. Alternatively, a handle is provided on the main unit, and the user manually operates the knife barrel or knife shaft to rotate.

[0104] In addition, the processing chamber can be fixedly installed on the main machine or detachably installed on the main machine.

[0105] Anything not described in this utility model can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0106] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0107] The above are merely examples of the present invention and are 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.
