[0060] The present invention will be illustrated with specific examples below:

[0061] Example 1:

[0062] Cutting module a, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 The image shows a module in a vegetable cutter used to feed and cut the food.

[0063] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the cutting module a includes a cutting module housing a1 and a blade cylinder assembly a2 disposed within the cutting module housing a1.

[0064] For details, see attached. Figure 1 As shown, the cutting module housing a1 is provided with an upward-facing feeding trough a1.1. The opening at the upper end of the feeding trough a1.1 forms a feeding port a1.11 for feeding food into the feeding trough a1.1. At the same time, the side wall of the feeding trough a1.1 (i.e., the side wall located on one side of the feeding trough a1.1 in the horizontal direction) is provided with a discharging port a1.12 for the food in the feeding trough a1.1 to flow out laterally.

[0065] The feed trough a1.1 is also equipped with a blade assembly a2 that cuts the food flowing from the feed trough a1.1 to the outlet a1.12 by rotating. The blade assembly a2 is matched to the outlet a1.12 so that the cut food can flow out laterally from the outlet a1.12.

[0066] For example, attached Figure 4As shown in the figure, the cutter barrel assembly a2 in the embodiment comprises a barrel-shaped cutter barrel body a2.1, which is internally hollow and has an open end and a material placing groove a2.11 with a groove rear wall a2.13 at the other end. The cutter barrel body a2.1 is horizontally arranged in the feeding groove a1.1, and the groove opening of the material placing groove a2.11 is arranged opposite to the discharging port a1.12. At this time, the axis of the barrel-shaped cutter barrel body a2.1 extends horizontally, the cutter barrel body a2.1 is rotatably arranged in the feeding groove a1.1 and can rotate around the axis, and the side wall of the material placing groove a2.11 is provided with a plurality of cutting holes a2.12 for connecting the feeding port a1.11 and the material placing groove a2.11, and each cutting hole a2.12 is provided with a cutting blade a2.2, one end of which extends to the outer surface of the cutter barrel body a2.1.

[0067] In operation, the food material is pressed into the feeding groove a1.1 from the feeding port a1.11 and adheres to the outer wall of the cutter barrel body a2.1, and the cutter barrel body a2.1 is driven to rotate, so that the cutting blade a2.2 is synchronously rotated to cut the food material, and the cut food material falls into the material placing groove a2.11 from the cutting hole a2.12 and flows out of the discharging port a1.12.

[0068] The inner wall of the cutter barrel body a2.1 is inclined to guide the food material falling into the material placing groove a2.11 to flow out of the discharging port a1.12.

[0069] The cutting module further comprises a rotating shaft a5 rotatably connected to the cutting module housing a1 and used to drive the cutter barrel assembly a2. One end of the rotating shaft a5 is arranged in the feeding groove a1.1 and connected to the cutter barrel assembly a2 (for example, the cutter barrel body a2.1 of the cutter barrel assembly a2), and the other end of the rotating shaft a5 is arranged outside the cutting module housing a1. The rotating shaft a5 in the embodiment is a horizontal shaft with a horizontal axis extending in the horizontal direction.

[0070] For example, in the embodiment, the cutting module housing a1 is provided with a rotating shaft insertion hole a1.13 in one side wall, the rotating shaft a5 is rotatably inserted into the rotating shaft insertion hole a1.13, and the other end of the rotating shaft a5 is exposed outside the cutting module housing a1 through the rotating shaft insertion hole a1.13. By driving the rotating shaft a5 to rotate, the cutter barrel body a2.1 and the cutter barrel assembly a2 are driven to rotate, and the cutting operation of the food material is realized as described above.

[0071] It should be noted that: in use, the cutter barrel assembly a2 in contact with food often accumulates more food residues, which needs to be cleaned frequently; and the rotating shaft a5 often does not need to be cleaned frequently. If the rotating shaft a5 is fixedly connected to the cutter barrel assembly a2, the cutter barrel assembly a2 must be disassembled together with the rotating shaft a5; and frequent disassembly of the rotating shaft a5 will cause the connection between the rotating shaft and the cutting module shell a1 to be poor, thereby causing the rotating shaft a5 to be unable to stably drive the cutter barrel assembly to cut food, and the food cutting effect is poor.

[0072] Based on this, in the embodiment, the cutter barrel assembly a2 is detachably connected to the connecting disc a5.1 through at least two buckling structures, and the rotating shaft a5 can drive the cutter barrel assembly a2 to rotate and provide the cutter barrel assembly a2 with the rotating force required for cutting food. Moreover, the size of the discharge port a1.12 is matched with the size of the cutter barrel assembly a2, so that the cutter barrel assembly a2 disassembled from the rotating shaft a5 can enter and exit the feeding groove a1.1 from the discharge port a1.12.

[0073] In this way: when the cutter barrel assembly a2 needs to be cleaned, the cutter barrel assembly a2 can be separated from the rotating shaft a5 for independent disassembly; the influence of the disassembly and cleaning action of the cutter barrel assembly a2 on the installation stability between the rotating shaft a5 and the cutting module shell is weakened, so that the rotating shaft a5 in the cutting module a can always stably drive the cutter barrel assembly a2 to cut food, and the stability of the food cutting effect is better maintained. At the same time, after the cutter barrel assembly a2 is disassembled from the rotating shaft a5, it can be taken out from the cutting module a shell more conveniently through the discharge port, improving the convenience of disassembly and cleaning of the cutter barrel assembly a2.

[0074] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3 In the embodiment, the groove rear wall a2.13 is detachably connected to the connecting disc a5.1 through at least two buckling structures, so that the cutter barrel assembly a2 is detachably connected to the connecting disc a5.1.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 to Figure 5 The buckling structure in the embodiment includes a buckling part a5.11, a buckling block a2.3, and an elastic member a2.4.

[0076] The buckling part a5.11 is a protruding block provided on the side of the connecting disc a5.1 facing the cutter barrel assembly a2. The buckling block a2.3 is slidingly installed in the groove rear wall a2.13 and can slide in the vertical plane, and the buckling block a2.3 has a pressing part a2.32 protruding towards the feeding groove a2.11, and a buckling arm a2.31 protruding towards the connecting disc a5.1.

[0077] To accommodate the sliding requirements of the pressing part a2.32 and the fastening arm a2.31, the rear wall a2.13 of the groove has: a first clearance hole a2.131 communicating with the material storage groove a2.11 and allowing the pressing part a2.32 to slide; and a second clearance hole a2.132 allowing the fastening arm a2.31 to slide. When the fastening block a2.3 slides, the pressing part a2.32 slides synchronously in the first clearance hole a2.131, and the fastening arm a2.31 slides synchronously in the second clearance hole a2.132. Furthermore, at this time, the user can press the pressing part a2.32 in the first clearance hole a2.131 by inserting their hand into the material storage groove a2.11 from the discharge port a1.12, thereby driving the fastening block a2.3 to slide.

[0078] Meanwhile, as attached Figure 4 As shown, the end of the fastening arm a2.31 passes through the second clearance hole a2.132 and is placed outside the knife barrel assembly a2, and is placed on one side of the fastening part a5.11; the fastening arm a2.31 has a fastening portion facing the fastening part a5.11, and the fastening part a5.11 has a mating portion that engages with the fastening portion.

[0079] For example, attached Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the side of the fastening arm a2.31 facing the fastening part a5.11 has a buckle a2.311 protruding towards the fastening part a5.11; at the same time, the side of the fastening part a5.11 facing the fastening arm a2.31 has a slot a5.111 with an opening facing the fastening arm a2.31 for the buckle a2.311 to be fastened.

[0080] By sliding the fastening block a2.3, the fastening part is fastened to the mating part, thus fixing the cutter barrel assembly a2 in a fixed state (the cutter barrel assembly a2 is connected to the rotating shaft a5 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft a5 under the drive of the rotating shaft a5, for example, attached). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0081] Alternatively, by sliding the latching block a2.3, the latching part can be disengaged from the mating part, thus making the cutter barrel assembly a2 detachable from the rotating shaft a5 (e.g., with attached...). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0082] The elastic element a2.4 can be an elastic spring, which is installed in the rear wall a2.13 of the groove and is configured to engage with the fastening block a2.3 and apply an elastic force to the fastening block a2.3 to drive its fastening portion to engage with the mating portion.

[0083] For example, attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5As shown, the rear wall a2.13 of the slot has a protrusion spaced from the buckling block a2.3, the protrusion is located on the moving track of the buckling block a2.3 away from the buckling part a5.11, and the elastic member a2.4 of the spring structure is in a compressed state and located between the buckling block a2.3 and the protrusion.

[0084] In this way, in normal operation, under the elastic action of the elastic member a2.4, the buckling block a2.3 automatically slides to the state as shown in FIG. 2B, and the cutter barrel assembly a2 is buckled to the rotating shaft a5 by the buckling structure and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft a5. Figure 4

[0085] When the cutter barrel assembly a2 needs to be disassembled, the user can press the pressing part a2.32 in the first displacement hole a2.131 by inserting the hand from the discharge port a1.12 into the material slot a2.11 (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2C), drive the elastic member a2.4 to compress, and drive the buckling block a2.3 to slide to the state as shown in FIG. 2D, so that the buckle a2.311 is separated from the clamping groove a5.111, and the cutter barrel assembly a2 can be disassembled from the rotating shaft a5 and taken out from the discharge port a1.12, thereby completing the disassembly of the cutter barrel assembly a2. Figure 5 Figure 5 When the cutter barrel assembly a2 needs to be disassembled, the user can press the pressing part a2.32 in the first displacement hole a2.131 by inserting the hand from the discharge port a1.12 into the material slot a2.11 (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2C), drive the elastic member a2.4 to compress, and drive the buckling block a2.3 to slide to the state as shown in FIG. 2D, so that the buckle a2.311 is separated from the clamping groove a5.111, and the cutter barrel assembly a2 can be disassembled from the rotating shaft a5 and taken out from the discharge port a1.12, thereby completing the disassembly of the cutter barrel assembly a2.

[0086] Further, the connecting disc a5.1 can also have a top pressing part a5.12 arranged in a protruding manner on the side of the connecting disc a5.1 facing the cutter barrel assembly a2. When the cutter barrel assembly a2 is connected to the connecting disc a5.1, the end of the top pressing part a5.12 abuts against the cutter barrel assembly a2, so as to improve the connection tightness between the cutter barrel assembly a2 and the rotating shaft a5 and improve the installation stability of the cutter barrel assembly a2.

[0087] The size of the top pressing part a5.12 is set so that, as shown in FIG. 2E, when the buckle a2.311 is buckled in the clamping groove a5.111, the side of the buckle a2.311 facing the cutter barrel assembly a2 abuts against the inner wall of one side of the clamping groove a5.111. Further, the installation stability of the cutter barrel assembly a2 is improved. Figure 4

[0088] Further, the side of the connecting disc a5.1 facing the cutter barrel assembly a2 can also be formed with a positioning part a5.13, and the rear wall a2.13 of the slot has a positioning part a2.133 for inserting the positioning part a5.13; when the cutter barrel assembly a2 is connected to the connecting disc a5.1, the positioning part a5.13 and the positioning part a2.133 are inserted.

[0089] For example, as shown in FIG. 2F, the positioning part a5.13 is inserted into the positioning part a2.133. Figure 1 ​​​and attached Figure 2 As shown, the positioning part a5.13 is a column protruding from the side of the connecting plate a5.1 facing the tool barrel assembly a2; correspondingly, the alignment part a2.133 is a groove provided on the side of the rear wall a2.13 facing the connecting plate a5.1, into which the positioning part a5.13 is inserted. When the tool barrel assembly a2 is connected to the connecting plate a5.1, the positioning part a5.13 and the alignment part a2.133 are inserted to better improve the stability of the tool barrel assembly a2 and to position the tool barrel assembly a2 during installation.

[0090] Based on the position of the fastening arm a2.31, the positioning part a5.13 provides clearance for the sliding of the fastening arm a2.31, thus avoiding obstruction to the sliding of the fastening block a2.3.

[0091] As attached Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the end of the buckle a2.311 facing the connecting plate a5.1 is chamfered and has a beveled surface. When the cutter barrel assembly a2 is installed, the beveled surface can guide the buckle a2.311 to better engage with the slot a5.111, so that the cutter barrel assembly a2 can be fastened to the rotating shaft a5.

[0092] As attached Figure 3 As shown, based on the above scheme, the cutter barrel body a2.1 can also be provided with a mounting groove a2.14 with an opening facing the rotating shaft a5. When the cutter barrel assembly a2 is fastened to the rotating shaft a5, the connecting plate a5.1 at the end of the rotating shaft a5 is placed in the mounting groove a2.14 and is fastened to the groove rear wall a2.13 through a fastening structure.

[0093] In this embodiment, the blade barrel assembly a2 is detachably fastened to the rotating shaft a5 by two fastening structures, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the rotating shaft a5.

[0094] Example 2:

[0095] A vegetable cutter is a device used to cut and prepare vegetables, either into slices or strips. It mainly includes a drive module b and a cutting module a, as described in any of the embodiments in Example 1, wherein the cutting module a is positioned horizontally to one side of the drive module b (e.g., attached). Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, the cutting module a is positioned to the right of the drive module b. The cutting module a is used to cut the food ingredients, while the drive module b supports the cutting module a and provides the necessary rotational force for cutting the food ingredients.

[0096] For driver module b:

[0097] As attached Figure 8As shown, it comprises a driving module shell b1, and a rotating motor b2 installed in the driving module shell b1. The driving module shell b1 is provided with a plug-in hole b1.2 on the side wall facing the cutting module a, and a rotatable cutting output shaft b3 is plugged into the plug-in hole b1.2. The cutting output shaft b3 is drivingly connected to the rotating output shaft of the rotating motor b2 through a common transmission structure such as a gear, so that the cutting output shaft b3 serves as an output shaft for connecting with external devices to externally output the rotating force provided by the rotating motor b2.

[0098] When it is necessary to form a vegetable cutter, the cutting module a is connected to the driving module b, and the rotating shaft a5 of the cutting module a is drivingly connected to the cutting output shaft b3 of the driving module b, so that a vegetable cutter capable of cutting food materials is formed.

[0099] At this time, the rotating motor b2 is turned on to rotate the cutting output shaft b3, and the knife cylinder assembly a2 with the knife blade is driven to rotate through the driving connection structure between the cutting output shaft b3 and the rotating shaft a5, so that the food materials can be cut as described above.

[0100] It should be noted that the food materials are mainly cut in the cutting module a by the knife cylinder assembly a2, that is, a large amount of food residue is often accumulated in the cutting module a, which needs to be cleaned frequently. The driving module b does not need to be cleaned frequently. If the cutting module a is directly and non-detachably fixed to the driving module b, the cleaning action of the cutting module a will be limited, and the cutting module a cannot be easily detached and cleaned.

[0101] Therefore, the cutting module a in the embodiment is connected to the driving module b in a structure that is convenient to install and detach.

[0102] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, Figure 6 to Fig. 4, Figure 8 The driving module b of the embodiment has a docking portion b1.1 facing the cutting module a, and the cutting module a has a plug-in portion a6 facing the driving module b, which is detachably plugged into the docking portion b1.1, and the cutting output shaft b3 is detachably drivingly connected to the rotating shaft a5, so that the cutting module a is detachably connected to the driving module b.

[0103] Specifically, the driving module b has a docking portion b1.1 facing the cutting module a, which means that the driving module b has a first column body protruding towards the cutting module a, or the driving module b has a first groove with an opening facing the cutting module.

[0104] Meanwhile, the plug-in part a6 provided on the cutting module a towards the driving module b means that the cutting module a has a second groove with an opening towards the driving module b and for inserting the first column; or the cutting module a has a second column protruding towards the driving module b and inserted into the first groove.

[0105] In the embodiment, on one hand, if the groove structure is provided on the cutting module a, it will interfere with the internal food cutting space, which is not conducive to the smooth flow of food; on the other hand, in order to reduce the weight, the inner wall of the existing cutting module shell a1 is generally close to the blade, which results in a large space limitation in the cutting module shell a1 and cannot form a groove structure; if the groove is formed inward, in order to avoid interference with the existing blade, the size of the cutting module shell a1 must be increased based on the setting of the groove structure, which greatly increases the size and weight of the cutting module shell a1, which not only puts higher requirements on the strength of the supporting structure, but also makes the whole vegetable cutter more likely to tip over.

[0106] Therefore, in the embodiment, the plug-in part a6 is preferably a plug-in column provided on the side of the cutting module a facing the driving module b and protruding towards the driving module b; specifically, the plug-in part a6 is a plug-in column provided on the side of the cutting module shell a1 facing the driving module b and protruding towards the driving module b.

[0107] The plug-in part b1.1 is a plug hole provided on the side of the driving module b facing the cutting module a and matching the plug-in column and for inserting the plug-in column; specifically, the plug-in part b1.1 is a plug hole provided on the side of the driving module shell b1 facing the cutting module a and for inserting the plug-in column.

[0108] Meanwhile, in order to more conveniently disassemble / assemble the cutting module a, the end of any one of the cutting output shaft b3 and the rotating shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove (a key groove formed to match an external spline structure) with an opening towards the other shaft; and the end of the other shaft is provided with an external spline matching the spline groove. And the cutting output shaft b3 and the rotating shaft a5 are arranged in alignment (i.e., when the cutting module a is connected to the driving module b, the axis of the cutting output shaft b3 and the axis of the rotating shaft a5 are located on the same straight line), so that when the plug-in part a6 is detachably plugged into the plug-in part b1.1, the external spline is adapted to be inserted into the spline groove to achieve that the cutting output shaft b3 is detachably drivingly connected to the rotating shaft a5.

[0109] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the end of the cutting output shaft b3 facing the rotating shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove with an opening towards the rotating shaft a5. Figure 6 to FIG. 3, the end of the cutting output shaft b3 facing the rotating shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove with an opening towards the rotating shaft a5. Figure 8 to FIG. 3, the end of the cutting output shaft b3 facing the rotating shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove with an opening towards the rotating shaft a5. Figure 2The first spline connection groove b3.1 in the cutting module a; the outer periphery of the end of the output shaft b3 facing the rotation shaft a5 is provided with an outer spline matching the first spline connection groove b3.1.

[0110] In this embodiment, the output shaft b3 and the rotation shaft a5 are both horizontal shafts with the axis horizontally arranged and extending in the horizontal direction. The insertion part a6 is also a column with the axis horizontally arranged and extending in the horizontal direction.

[0111] During installation, the cutting module a is moved horizontally close to the driving module b, and the insertion part a6 of the insertion structure is inserted into the abutting part b1.1 of the insertion hole structure, so that the driving module b can support the cutting module a; at the same time, the end of the rotation shaft a5 is inserted into the first spline connection groove b3.1, and the outer spline at the end of the rotation shaft a5 is fitted into the first spline connection groove b3.1, so that the output shaft b3 is drivingly connected to the rotation shaft a5. The installation of the cutting module a is completed. Moreover, the surface of the cutting module a can also be protrusively formed with a boss arranged around the rotation shaft a5, and the insertion hole b1.2 has a part for inserting the boss; when inserted as described above, the boss is fitted into the insertion hole b1.2 to share the force received by the rotation shaft a5 under the gravity of the cutting module a.

[0112] When the cutting module a needs to be cleaned, the cutting module a is moved horizontally away from the driving module b until the insertion part a6 is separated from the abutting part b1.1, and at the same time, the output shaft b3 is separated from the first spline connection groove b3.1, and the cutting module a is disassembled.

[0113] Further, the insertion part a6 can be a polygonal prismatic protrusion, such as a quadrangular prismatic protrusion. In this embodiment, the insertion part a6 is preferably a cylindrical protrusion with a circular cross-section; so as to improve the convenience and smoothness of the insertion of the insertion part a6 and the abutting part b1.1, and reduce the possibility of deviation of the clamping position.

[0114] Further, the outer edge of the end of the insertion part a6 can be chamfered to form a slope guiding the insertion of the insertion part a6 into the insertion hole; so that the insertion of the prismatic protrusion of the insertion part a6 into the abutting part b1.1 of the recess structure is more smooth.

[0115] Similarly, the slot of the spline groove (more precisely, the sidewall of the slot) can also be chamfered to form a slope guiding the insertion of the outer spline into the spline groove; so that the insertion transmission between the output shaft b3 and the rotation shaft a5 is more smooth.

[0116] On the basis of the above-mentioned scheme, the outer periphery of the plug-in part a6 can further be provided with a sealing layer surrounding the outer periphery of the plug-in part a6 and having elasticity; the sealing layer is formed by covering the outer periphery of the plug-in part a6 with a material having elasticity such as silicone or rubber. When the plug-in part a6 is inserted into the counter part b1.1, the sealing layer is filled between the plug-in part a6 and the counter part b1.1 in a compressed manner, so as to improve the stability of the plug-in structure between the plug-in part a6 and the counter part b1.1, and further improve the stability of the installation of the cutting module a.

[0117] In the above-mentioned scheme, the sealing layer has a part close to the end of the plug-in part a6, and the thickness of the part of the sealing layer gradually decreases in the direction in which the plug-in part a6 protrudes, so as to form a guide structure, and the plug-in part a6 with the sealing layer can be more smoothly inserted into the counter part b1.1.

[0118] On the basis of the above-mentioned scheme, when there is a further demand for higher stability, a fastener such as a fastening screw can be additionally provided to detachably fix the plug-in part a6 in the counter part b1.1.

[0119] By inserting the threaded end of the fastening screw into the plug-in part a6 from the outside through the drive module housing b1 and the groove structure side wall of the counter part b1.1, and screwing the threaded end of the fastening screw into the plug-in part a6, the plug-in part a6 is detachably fixed in the counter part b1.1. By unscrewing the fastening screw from the plug-in part a6, the plug-in part a6 can be separated from the counter part b1.1, so as to detach the cutting module a as described above.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end of the driving module b is inserted into the positioning hole c1.21, and the driving module b has a supporting part b1.3 which is overlapped on the connecting plate c1.2 from top to bottom, so that the driving module b is detachably positioned and connected to the sink body c1. Figure 9

[0125] At this time, the cutting module a is detachably connected to the driving module b and is arranged above the cleaning sink c1.1, so that there is enough space below the cutting module a to collect the food materials falling after cutting; in combination with the structure of the cleaning sink c1.1, the food materials falling after cutting can be more conveniently cleaned.
