Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing tools, in particular to a multifunctional vegetable cutter. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more automated and semi-automated tools have entered the kitchen. Vegetable cutters are one of them. They greatly reduce the time people spend preparing dishes in the kitchen, and the dishes produced taste better and are safer and more hygienic.

[0003] There are many types of vegetable cutters on the market today, all of which simulate the principle of manual cutting. The blades are partially exposed, making a lot of noise during operation, with a low safety factor. Installation and cleaning are cumbersome, and it's easy to injure your hands when using them. For example, a rotary vegetable cutter uses a circular rotating blade to cut vegetables. However, due to the different forces applied to the blades at different radial points, the blades are unbalanced. This results in uneven force on the food during cutting, making the cut pieces easily breakable and fragmented. The slices are also uneven in thickness and size, making it difficult to guarantee consistent quality. Furthermore, the vegetables are severely squeezed, leading to severe water loss and a poor taste. The overall stability of the vegetable cutter is poor, making it unsuitable for small restaurants and unsuitable for commercial operation. Furthermore, most vegetable cutters on the market have complex structures, high production costs, low cutting efficiency, and are inconvenient to maintain and use.

[0004] Currently, a vegetable cutting mechanism and a multifunctional vegetable cutter are disclosed, with patent number (CN 217256573 U). Although they have made great improvements, they still have many shortcomings and need to be continuously improved, such as a less simple structure, high production cost, and inconvenient cleaning. Based on the existing technology and in line with market demand, the present utility model develops a multifunctional vegetable cutter with a simple structure, compact size, easy use, stable processing effect, time and labor saving, greater safety and hygiene, a wide range of applications, easy processing, low cost and easier cleaning, less squeezing of vegetables, less water loss, and good taste of cut vegetables.
