Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cutter technology, and in particular to a fruit and vegetable cutter. Background Technology
[0002] In daily cooking, it is necessary to slice vegetables and fruits (cucumbers, radishes, etc.). The slicing process is mainly carried out by hand or by using a vegetable slicer. However, manual cutting is inefficient and requires the operator to have strong basic skills to quickly cut thin slices. It is a high-level skill and a real pain for people with poor basic skills.
[0003] The existing vegetable cutter is generally composed of a body, a support, a cutting mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a food placement shell. The upper end of the food placement shell is open, and the cutting mechanism is located on the lower side of the food placement shell. Fruits and vegetables are first placed in the food placement shell, and then the cutting mechanism is driven by the pressing mechanism to move back and forth to slice or chop the fruits and vegetables.
[0004] During use, fruits and vegetables are placed freely in the food container without any restriction, which is not conducive to their descent. As the fruits and vegetables are cut and become smaller, the final part becomes inconvenient to cut. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art above, where fruits and vegetables are freely placed in the food container without any restraint, which is not conducive to their descent. As the fruits and vegetables are cut and become smaller, the final part becomes inconvenient to cut.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A fruit and vegetable cutter includes a main body and a lower pressure frame. The main body is equipped with a placement groove. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the lower pressure frame. Both ends of the rotating shaft are provided with supports fixed to the main body. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the supports. An adjusting cylinder is connected to one of the supports. The adjusting cylinder is connected to the rotating shaft by a torsion spring.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating shaft has a hole for the end of a torsion spring, one end of the torsion spring is inserted into the hole, and the other end is fixed to the adjusting cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the adjusting cylinder is rotatably connected to the support, the adjusting cylinder is provided with an adjusting rod, and the support corresponding to the adjusting cylinder is slidably connected with an arc-shaped locking plate, the arc-shaped locking plate being provided with multiple locking grooves.
[0010] Preferably, a slider is fixed to the lower end of the locking plate, and a groove for sliding the slider is provided on the support.
[0011] Preferably, the inlet of the locking groove is provided as a guide section, which facilitates the entry of the adjusting rod.
[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the adjusting rod is connected to a lifting rod that can be raised or lowered, and the arc-shaped locking plate is provided with a limiting groove for inserting the lifting rod. The adjusting rod is inserted into the limiting groove by raising or lowering to prevent it from disengaging from the locking groove.
[0013] Preferably, the lifting rod is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod.
[0014] Preferably, the other end of the lower pressure frame is connected to a pressure plate, which presses against the fruits and vegetables by a torsion spring. As the cutting mechanism continuously cuts, the fruits and vegetables descend steadily, making it easier to cut the last part of the fruits and vegetables.
[0015] Preferably, the pressure plate shown is detachably connected to the end of the lower pressure frame.
[0016] Preferably, a support block is fixed on the main body, a bolt is threaded onto the support block, a pull rod is rotatably connected to the end of the bolt, the pull rod extends to the inner side of the lower pressure frame, a limit rod is fixed on the pull rod, and the limit rod passes through the support block.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The pressure plate is pressed onto the fruits and vegetables by the lower pressure frame and torsion spring. The torsion force of the torsion spring makes the pressure plate continuously press on the fruits and vegetables. As the cutting mechanism cuts continuously, the fruits and vegetables fall steadily and it is easy to cut the last part of the fruits and vegetables. The pressure plate is designed to be detachable, so that the pressure plate can be easily and quickly cleaned by disassembling it.
[0019] The torque can be changed by setting a rotatable adjusting cylinder so that the pressure plate can press the fruits and vegetables better. When the fruits and vegetables are too long to use the pressure plate, the lower pressure frame is rotated by turning the bolt so that the pull rod abuts against the lower pressure frame, thereby causing the pressure plate to leave the placement groove. Finally, the pressure plate is kept in the state of leaving the placement groove. At this time, longer fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers and radishes can be processed. By disassembling the pressure plate, the space occupied is reduced and the operation is more convenient for personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 The fruit and vegetable cutter includes a main body 1 and a lower pressure frame 3. The main body 1 is equipped with a placement groove 2 and a cutting mechanism and a pressing mechanism 11. The cutting mechanism and the pressing mechanism 11 are existing technologies and will not be described further. The cutting mechanism is not shown in the figure.
[0034] One end of the lower pressure frame 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 31, and the other end of the lower pressure frame 3 is connected to a pressure plate 32. The pressure plate 32 is detachably connected to the end of the lower pressure frame 3. The pressure plate 32 of this application is composed of multiple plates distributed in the circumferential direction. The center of the pressure plate 32 has a sleeve, which is inserted into the end of the lower pressure frame 3 via an interference fit. The pressure plate 32 can be disassembled for cleaning, which is convenient and quick. Both the lower pressure frame 3 and the pressure plate 32 are made of plastic. The interference fit connection is existing technology. The two ends of the rotating shaft 31... Each is equipped with a support 12 fixed on the main body 1. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the support 12. An adjusting cylinder 4 is connected to one of the supports 12. The adjusting cylinder 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 31 through a torsion spring 5. The rotating shaft 31 has an insertion hole 311 at the end of the torsion spring 5. One end of the torsion spring 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 311, and the other end is fixed to the adjusting cylinder 4. The pressure plate 32 is pressed on the fruits and vegetables by the torsion spring 5. As the cutting mechanism cuts continuously, the fruits and vegetables fall steadily and it is easy to cut the last part of the fruits and vegetables.
[0035] The adjusting cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the support 12. The adjusting cylinder 4 is provided with an adjusting rod 41. The torque of the torsion spring 5 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting cylinder 4. The support 12 corresponding to the adjusting cylinder 4 is slidably connected with an arc-shaped locking plate 6. Multiple locking grooves 61 are provided on the arc-shaped locking plate 6. A slider 62 is fixed at the lower end of the locking plate. The support 12 is provided with a sliding groove 121 for the slider 62 to slide. The inlet of the locking groove 61 is provided as a guide section 611, which facilitates the entry of the adjusting rod 41.
[0036] The upper end of the adjusting rod 41 is connected to a lifting rod 42 that can be raised and lowered. The arc-shaped locking plate 6 has a limiting groove 63 for inserting the lifting rod 42. The lifting rod 42 is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 41. The lifting rod 42 is lowered and inserted into the limiting groove 63 to prevent the adjusting rod 41 from disengaging from the locking groove 61.
[0037] A support block 13 is fixed on the main body 1. A bolt 7 is threaded onto the support block 13. A pull rod 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the bolt 7. The pull rod 8 extends to the inner side of the lower pressure frame 3. A limit rod 9 is fixed on the pull rod 8. The limit rod 9 passes through the support block 13. When fruits and vegetables are too long to use the pressure plate 32, such as cucumbers and radishes, the pressure plate 32 is kept away from the placement groove 2 by the pull rod 8.
[0038] When in use, pull the lower pressure frame 3 to make the pressure plate 32 leave the placement slot 2, then put the fruits and vegetables in, and then release the lower pressure frame 3 so that the pressure plate 32 presses on the fruits and vegetables. The torque of the torsion spring 5 makes the pressure plate 32 continue to press on the fruits and vegetables, which facilitates the subsequent stable cutting of fruits and vegetables.
[0039] When torque adjustment is required, first rotate the lifting rod 42 to raise it, then keep the lifting rod 42 stationary and move the arc-shaped limiting plate 6 so that the adjusting rod 41 leaves the locking groove 61. Then rotate the adjusting cylinder 4 towards the placement groove 2 to change the torque magnitude by changing the position of the initial torque state (the initial torque state is when the torsion spring 5 does not deform). After adjusting the position, slide the arc-shaped limiting plate 6 so that the adjusting rod 41 enters the locking groove 61. Then rotate the lifting rod 42 in the opposite direction so that the lifting rod 42 descends into the limiting groove 63 to prevent the adjusting rod 41 from disengaging from the locking groove 61.
[0040] When fruits and vegetables are too long to be placed on the pressure plate 32, turn the bolt 7 to move the pull rod 8. The pull rod 8 moves the limit rod 9. During the movement, the pull rod 8 abuts against the lower pressure frame 3, causing the lower pressure frame 3 to rotate, thereby causing the pressure plate 32 to leave the placement slot 2. At this time, longer fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers and radishes can be processed. By disassembling the pressure plate 32, the space occupied is reduced and the operation is more convenient for personnel.
[0041] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
