[0040] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings:

[0041] Example one:

[0042] The cutting device is used to cut and process the vegetable food, and cut the vegetable food into slices or strips. It mainly includes a driving module b and a cutting module a placed on the right side of the driving module b (for example, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the cutting module a is placed on the right side of the driving module b). The cutting module a is used to cut the food, and the driving module b supports the cutting module a and provides the rotating force required for the cutting module a to cut the food. Figure 1

[0043] For the cutting module a:

[0044] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the cutting module a is provided with a cutting blade 1, a cutting blade 2 and a cutting blade 3.​Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the cutting module a comprises a cutting module housing a1 and a cutter barrel assembly a2 arranged in the cutting module housing a1.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the cutting module housing a1 is provided with an upwardly open feeding groove a1.1, and the upper end of the feeding groove a1.1 is provided with a feeding port a1.11 for feeding food into the feeding groove a1.1. Meanwhile, the side wall of the feeding groove a1.1 (i.e. the side wall located at one side of the feeding groove a1.1 in the horizontal direction) is provided with a discharging port a1.12 for the food in the feeding groove a1.1 to flow out in the transverse direction. Figure 4 The feeding groove a1.1 is further provided with the cutter barrel assembly a2 for cutting the food, and the cutter barrel assembly a2 is arranged in matching with the discharging port a1.12 so that the cut food can flow out in the transverse direction from the discharging port a1.12.

[0046] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the cutter barrel assembly a2 in the embodiment comprises a cylindrical cutter barrel body a2.1, which is internally provided with a cavity and one end of the cavity is open to form a material placing groove a2.11. The cylindrical cutter barrel body a2.1 is horizontally arranged in the feeding groove a1.1, and the material placing groove a2.11 is arranged opposite to the discharging port a1.12 with its opening facing the discharging port a1.12. At this time, the axis of the cylindrical 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 the feeding port a1.11 to communicate with the material placing groove a2.11, and each cutting hole a2.12 is provided with a cutting blade a2.2, and one end of the cutting blade a2.2 extends to the outer surface of the cutter barrel body a2.1.

[0047] Figure 4 In operation, the food 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, and the cut food falls into the material placing groove a2.11 from the cutting hole a2.12 and flows out in the transverse direction from the discharging port a1.12.

[0048] The inner wall of the cutter barrel body a2.1 is provided with an inclined surface to guide the food falling into the material placing groove a2.11 to flow to the discharging port a1.12.

[0049] The inner wall of the cutter barrel body a2.1 is provided with an inclined surface to guide the food falling into the material placing groove a2.11 to flow to the discharging port a1.12.

[0050] ​Also included is a connecting shaft a5 rotatably connected to the cutting module housing a1 and used to drive the cutter barrel assembly a2. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting shaft a5 is directly connected to the cutter barrel body a2.1 (the connecting shaft a5 is fixed to the cutter barrel body a2.1 in a manner such as welding, or the connecting shaft a5 is detachably connected to the cutter barrel body a2.1, for example, the structure of the cutter barrel component of a vegetable cutter disclosed in CN205343282U, so that the connecting shaft a5 is detachably buckled to the cutter barrel body a2.1) or is drivingly connected to the cutter barrel body a2.1, and the other end is exposed outside the cutting module housing a1 facing the side wall of the driving module b. For example, in this embodiment, the side wall of the cutting module housing a1 facing the driving module b is provided with a connecting shaft insertion hole a1.13, the connecting shaft a5 is rotatably inserted into the connecting shaft insertion hole a1.13, and the other end of the connecting shaft a5 is exposed outside the cutting module housing a1 through the connecting shaft insertion hole a1.13. By driving the connecting shaft a5 to rotate, the cutter barrel body a2.1 and the cutter barrel assembly a2 can be driven to rotate, thereby achieving the cutting action on the food material as described above.

[0051] For the driving module b:

[0052] As shown in the accompanying Figure 3 It includes a driving module housing b1 and a rotating motor b2 installed in the driving module housing b1. The side wall of the driving module housing b1 facing the cutting module a is provided with an insertion hole b1.2, and a rotatable cutting output shaft b3 is inserted into the insertion 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 to an external device to externally output the rotating force provided by the rotating motor b2.

[0053] When a vegetable cutting device is needed, the cutting module a is connected to the driving module b, and the connecting shaft a5 of the cutting module a is drivingly connected to the cutting output shaft b3 of the driving module b, thereby forming a vegetable cutting device capable of cutting the food material.

[0054] At this time, the rotating motor b2 is turned on to rotate the cutting output shaft b3, and the cutter barrel assembly a2 with blades can be driven to rotate through the driving connection structure between the cutting output shaft b3 and the connecting shaft a5, thereby being able to cut the food material as described above.

[0055] It should be noted that the food is mainly cut in the cutting module a using the blade assembly a2, meaning that cutting module a often accumulates a lot of food residue and requires frequent cleaning; while the drive module b does not require frequent cleaning. If the cutting module a is directly and non-removably fixed to the drive module b, it will restrict the cleaning action of the cutting module a and make it impossible to disassemble and clean the cutting module a effectively.

[0056] Based on this, the cutting module a in this embodiment adopts a structure that facilitates installation / removal to connect to the drive module b.

[0057] For details, see attached. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, the drive module b in this embodiment has a docking portion b1.1 facing the cutting module a; meanwhile, the cutting module a has a plug-in portion a6 facing the drive module b, the plug-in portion a6 is detachably plugged into the docking portion b1.1, and the cutting output shaft b3 is detachably connected to the connecting shaft a5, so that the cutting module a is detachably connected to the drive module b.

[0058] Specifically, the driving module b having a mating portion b1.1 facing the cutting module a means that the driving module b has a first column protruding towards the cutting module a; or, the driving module b having a first groove with an opening facing the cutting module.

[0059] Meanwhile, the insertion part a6 of the cutting module a facing the driving module b means that the cutting module a has a second groove with an opening facing the driving module b and for the first column to be inserted; or, the cutting module a has a second column that protrudes towards the driving module b and is inserted into the first groove.

[0060] In this embodiment, on the one hand, it is considered that if a groove structure is set 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 weight, the inner wall of the existing cutting module housing a1 is generally set close to the blade, resulting in a large space restriction inside the cutting module housing a1, making it impossible to form a groove structure. If a groove is formed inward, in order to avoid interference with the existing blade, the size of the cutting module housing a1 must be increased on the basis of setting the groove structure. This will greatly increase the size and weight of the cutting module housing a1, which not only puts forward higher requirements for the strength of the supporting structure, but also makes the whole cutting device more prone to tipping over.

[0061] Based on this, in this embodiment, the insertion part a6 is preferably a post disposed on the side of the cutting module a facing the driving module b and protruding toward the driving module b; more precisely, the insertion part a6 is a post on the side of the cutting module housing a1 facing the driving module b and protruding toward the driving module b.

[0062] The docking part b1.1 is a socket that is matched to the plug and is disposed on the side of the drive module b facing the cutting module a, and for the plug to be inserted; more precisely, the docking part b1.1 is a socket on the side of the drive module housing b1 facing the cutting module a, and for the plug to be inserted.

[0063] Meanwhile, to facilitate the disassembly / assembly of the cutting module a, the end of either the cutting output shaft b3 or the connecting shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove (a keyway formed to match the external spline structure) with its opening facing the other shaft; the end of the other shaft is provided with an external spline that matches the spline groove. Furthermore, the cutting output shaft b3 and the connecting shaft a5 are aligned (i.e., when the cutting module a is connected to the drive module b, the axis of the cutting output shaft b3 and the axis of the connecting shaft a5 are on the same straight line), so that when the insertion part a6 is detachably inserted into the mating part b1.1, the external spline adapts to the spline groove, thereby achieving a detachable transmission connection between the cutting output shaft b3 and the connecting shaft a5.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the end of the cutting output shaft b3 facing the connecting shaft a5 is provided with a spline groove with an opening facing the connecting shaft a5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 The first spline connecting groove b3.1 in the middle; the outer periphery of the connecting shaft a5 facing the cutting output shaft b3 is provided with an external spline that matches the first spline connecting groove b3.1.

[0065] In this embodiment, both the cutting output shaft b3 and the connecting shaft a5 are horizontal shafts with their axes arranged laterally to extend in the horizontal direction. The insertion part a6 is also a column with its axis arranged laterally to extend in the horizontal direction.

[0066] During installation, the cutting module a moves laterally close to the drive module b, and the insertion part a6 of the insert structure is laterally inserted into the mating part b1.1 of the insertion hole structure so that the drive module b can support the cutting module a. Simultaneously, the end of the connecting shaft a5 is inserted into the first spline connecting groove b3.1, and the external spline at the end of the connecting shaft a5 is fitted into the first spline connecting groove b3.1, so that the cutting output shaft b3 is drive-connected to the connecting shaft a5. This completes the installation of the cutting module a. Furthermore, the surface of the cutting module a may also have a raised boss surrounding the connecting shaft a5, and the insertion hole b1.2 has a portion for inserting this boss. During insertion as described above, the boss is fitted into the insertion hole b1.2 to share the force on the connecting shaft a5 under the gravity of the cutting module a.

[0067] When the cutting module a needs to be cleaned, the cutting module a is moved laterally away from the driving module b until the insertion part a6 is separated from the counter-connection part b1.1, and the output shaft b3 is separated from the first spline connection groove b3.1, and the cutting module a is disassembled.

[0068] Further, the insertion part a6 can be a prismatic columnar protrusion, such as a quadrangular columnar protrusion, etc. In the 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 counter-connection part b1.1, and reduce the possibility of the occurrence of a clamping deviation.

[0069] Still further, the outer edge of the end of the insertion part a6 can be formed with an inclined surface arranged in a chamfered manner, so as to guide the insertion of the insertion part a6 into the insertion hole, and make the columnar protrusion of the insertion part a6 more smoothly inserted into the counter-connection part b1.1 of the groove structure.

[0070] Similarly, the slot of the spline groove (more precisely, the sidewall of the slot) can also be formed with an inclined surface arranged in a chamfered manner, so as to guide the insertion of the external spline into the spline groove, and make the insertion transmission between the cutting output shaft b3 and the connecting shaft a5 more smoothly.

[0071] On the basis of the above-mentioned solution, the outer periphery of the insertion part a6 can further be provided with a sealing layer surrounding the outer periphery of the insertion part a6 and having elasticity; the sealing layer is formed by covering the outer periphery of the insertion part a6 with a material having elasticity, such as silicone or rubber. When the insertion part a6 is inserted into the counter-connection part b1.1, the sealing layer is compressed and filled between the insertion part a6 and the counter-connection part b1.1, so as to improve the stability of the insertion structure between the insertion part a6 and the counter-connection part b1.1, and further improve the stability of the installation of the cutting module a.

[0072] In the above-mentioned solution, the sealing layer has a part close to the end of the insertion part a6, and the thickness of the part of the sealing layer gradually decreases in the direction of the protrusion of the insertion part a6, so as to form a guide structure, and make the insertion part a6 with the sealing layer more smoothly inserted into the counter-connection part b1.1.

[0073] On the basis of the above-mentioned solution, when there is a further higher stability requirement, a fastener, such as a fastening screw, can be additionally provided to detachably fix the insertion part a6 in the counter-connection part b1.1.

[0074] The insertion part a6 can be detachably fixed in the docking part b1.1 by inserting the threaded end of the fastening screw into the insertion part a6 from the outside through the drive module shell b1 and the groove structure docking part b1.1 side wall, and screwing the threaded end of the fastening screw into the insertion part a6. By unscrewing the fastening screw from the insertion part a6, the insertion part a6 can be detached from the docking part b1.1 to detach the cutting module a as described above.

The drive module b of the vegetable cutting device is connected to the sink body c1 of the sink c by, for example, a screw, an embedded structure, or a clamping structure.

[0078] Further, considering that when the sink c is installed on the kitchen countertop, the rear part (i.e., the part of the sink body c1 of the sink c close to the wall and away from the user when installed on the kitchen countertop) is often in a restricted area that cannot be effectively utilized.

[0079] In order to improve the space utilization, in this embodiment, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 5 a transversely extending connecting plate c1.2 is provided on the rear part of the sink body c1 (i.e., the part of the sink body c1 of the sink c close to the wall and away from the user when installed on the kitchen countertop), and the connecting plate c1.2 is provided with a positioning hole c1.21. As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 5 the lower end of the drive module b is inserted into the positioning hole c1.21, and the drive module b has a support part b1.3 lapping from top to bottom on the connecting plate c1.2, so that the drive module b can be detachably positioned and connected to the sink body c1.

[0080] At this time, the cutting module a is detachably connected to the drive module b and placed above the washing tank 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 washing tank c1.1, the food materials falling after cutting can also be washed more conveniently.
