[0040] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a vegetable cutter, including a body 100, a first conveying device 200, a second conveying device 300, a swing arm 400, an elastic element 500, and a housing 600. It should be noted that the first conveying device 200 and the second conveying device 300 have the same structure and are existing belt conveying devices, including a belt (not shown in the figure), a drive roller (not shown in the figure), and a motor (not shown in the figure). The belt is wound around two drive rollers, and the motor drives one of the drive rollers to rotate the belt to achieve the conveying function.

[0041] The machine body 100 is provided with an installation channel 110, on which a cutting board 120 is installed. A first conveying device 200 and a second conveying device 300 are both installed on the installation channel 110. Specifically, the second conveying device 300 is horizontally installed on one side of the cutting board 120, and the first conveying device 200 is located above the second conveying device 300. The end of the second conveying device 300 corresponding to the cutting board 120 is inclined downward and can contact the upper end of the cutting board 120. Specifically, the belt on the second conveying device 300 contacts the cutting board 120. A housing 600 is installed on the machine body 100 and corresponds to the cutting board 120. The housing 600 is provided with a feed inlet 610 corresponding to the cutting board 120. A cutter 620 is provided inside the housing 600. The cutter 620 is used to cut the food at the feed inlet 610. Specifically, a drive motor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the housing 600 to drive the cutter 620 to rotate.

[0042] Both sides of the first conveying device 200 are provided with swing arms 400. Specifically, the swing arm 400 includes a first connecting part 410 and a second connecting part 420. The first connecting part 410 is connected to the side of the first conveying device 200 and can block the side of the first conveying device 200, thereby preventing food from squeezing into the gap formed by the swing arm 400 and the inner wall of the first conveying device 200 and the installation channel 110, or flowing into the first conveying device 200 from the gap, affecting the operation of the first conveying device 200. This can reduce the cleaning work of the first conveying device 200 and improve the working efficiency and service life of the first conveying device 200.

[0043] The second connecting part 420 is set at an angle to the first connecting part 410 and is located at the end of the first connecting part 410 away from the cutting board 120. Specifically, the second connecting part 420 is set at a 90° angle to the first connecting part 410 and extends downward. The lower end of the second connecting part 420 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting channel 110.

[0044] During operation, the worker places food on the second conveying device 300, which then conveys the food toward the cutting board 120. Because the second conveying device 300 tilts downwards and contacts the upper end of the cutting board 120, and can swing up and down via the second connecting part 420 on the swing arm 400, the food compresses the first conveying device 200, causing it to swing upwards. This allows the food to pass through the feed inlet 610 for the cutter 620 to cut. This mechanism can accommodate food of varying stack heights. Furthermore, the elastic element 500 drives the end of the first conveying device 200 that contacts the cutting board 120 downwards to clamp the food flowing onto the cutting board 120. The elastic element 500 ensures that the first conveying device 200 has a certain clamping force, guaranteeing the stability of food conveying and facilitating the cutter 620's cutting of the food, thus improving cutting efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, the lower end of the housing 600 is provided with a discharge port 650 for the food to be discharged after cutting. It should be noted that the lower end of the first conveying device 200 and the cutting board 120 extend into the feed port 610 so that the cutter 620 inside the housing 600 can cut the food.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the inner wall of the installation channel 110 is provided with a limiting plate 111, and the swing arm 400 is provided with a connecting plate 421. The limiting plate 111 is provided with a limiting port 112 with the opening facing upward. When the first conveying device 200 contacts the anvil 120, the connecting plate 421 is limited to the limiting port 112. That is, the first conveying device 200 is positioned by the cooperation of the limiting port 112 and the connecting plate 421, so as to ensure the stability of the first conveying device 200.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cutting board 120 has a cutting surface 121 on the side facing the second conveying device 300. The cutting surface 121 is in contact with the second conveying device 300. Specifically, the cutting surface 121 is in contact with the belt on the second conveying device 300. In this way, the second conveying device 300 can transport food to the cutting board 120 and can prevent food from getting stuck between the cutting board 120 and the first conveying device 200, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the elastic element 500 is preferably a tension spring. Specifically, the tension spring is inclined downwards. The upper end of the tension spring is connected to the limiting plate 111 through a connecting seat (not shown in the figure), and the lower end is connected to the machine body 100, providing elastic force to make the first conveying device 200 always rotate downwards in the direction of the discharge port 650. Of course, the tension spring can also be set vertically, with the upper end connected to the end of the first connecting part 410 near the discharge port 650, and the lower end connected to the machine body 100, so as to provide downward tension to the first connecting part 410.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the housing 600 has a cutout on the side away from the machine body 100. A cover plate 630 is provided at the cutout of the housing 600. The cover plate 630 is hinged to the housing 600. The operator can open the cover plate 630 to clean the inside of the housing 600 and change the tools.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and 8 The cover plate 630 shown is provided with a transparent observation window 640, which corresponds to the feed inlet 610, so that the staff can observe the dynamics of cutting vegetables.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 8, a protective cover 130 is provided at the upper end of the installation channel 110. The protective cover 130 corresponds to the cutting board 120 to improve safety.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
