Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a pusher rod and a vegetable cutter. Background Technology

[0002] A crucial step in the processing of fruits, vegetables, and other foods is cutting the raw materials into the desired shapes. Currently, food cutting in the industry mainly relies on two methods: manual cutting and food cutting machines. However, manual cutting is inefficient, while existing food cutting machines have complex structures and are cumbersome to operate, making them unsuitable for home use.

[0003] To address this, Chinese invention application ZL201810909085.3 (publication number CN108858317A) discloses a food cutter. This food cutter includes a housing and a cutting mechanism. One side of the housing has a feed inlet, and the other side has a discharge outlet. The feed inlet is connected to a feeding section, which includes a feeding cylinder and a clamping member. The clamping member is shaped to fit the feeding cylinder and slides within it. The clamping member applies force to the food to be cut, causing the food to move towards the feed inlet for cutting.

[0004] However, the clamping element in the aforementioned food cutter only has the function of applying force to the food to be cut so that it moves towards the feed inlet, and its function is limited. Utility Model Content

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a push rod with multiple functions in view of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vegetable cutter that uses the aforementioned push rod, in view of the current state of the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is as follows: the push rod includes a body, the body has a cavity, the cavity has an opening, characterized in that: the side wall of the body is provided with a shaving blade, the shaving blade has a plurality of shaving holes that pass through the shaving blade, and the shaving holes are connected to the cavity.

[0008] In order to place the shredder on the side wall of the body, preferably, a window is provided on the side wall of the body, and the shredder is fixed in the window.

[0009] In order to fix the shavings inside the window, preferably, the shavings are formed as an insert inside the window.

[0010] In order to form the shaving insert within the window, preferably, at least two protrusions are distributed along the periphery of the window on the side wall of the body. Correspondingly, the shaving is provided with mounting holes for the protrusions to pass through. It also includes a pressure ring, which is formed around the periphery of the shaving and presses the shaving into the window. The pressure ring has insertion holes for the protrusions to be inserted.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the body has multiple protrusions for grinding and holding food. These protrusions serve two purposes: first, when used as a pusher, they increase the friction between the pusher and the food inside the cylinder, thus holding the food in place and preventing it from wobbling inside the cylinder when the pusher applies force; second, the protrusions can also function as a grinder for grinding fruits and vegetables such as garlic and wasabi into a paste.

[0012] Preferably, the body has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface connected to the first inclined surface. The shaving blade is disposed on the first inclined surface, and the protrusion is disposed on the second inclined surface. When shaving, the body is placed on a table with the opening of the cavity facing downwards. This arrangement allows the food to be applied at an angle to the shaving blade or protrusion during shaving or grinding, making it easier for the operator to apply force to the food.

[0013] Preferably, the planing holes are arranged in an array, and the protrusions are arranged in an array.

[0014] To increase the stability of the body when placed on the table, preferably, the periphery of the opening of the cavity has a convex flange. When the body is placed on the table with the opening of the cavity facing down, only the edge of the side wall contacts the table. If the side wall of the body is thin, the placement will be unstable due to the small contact area with the table. While increasing the thickness of the side wall can increase the contact area between the body and the table, the excessively thick side wall will reduce its strength due to insufficient internal solidification during molding, making it prone to deformation under stress. The flange can increase the contact area between the body and the table when the side wall is thin, allowing the body to be placed stably on the table without affecting the strength of the side wall.

[0015] To solve the second technical problem mentioned above, the vegetable cutter includes a housing and a feed cylinder located at the feed end of the housing. The feed cylinder has an open upper cavity for placing food to be cut. The cutter is characterized by further including the aforementioned push rod, which is adapted to the shape of the cavity and can slide within the cavity.

[0016] Preferably, the periphery of the opening of the concave cavity has a convex flange, which rests on the outer end face of the material cylinder when the body is placed inside the placement cavity. This flange ensures that when pushed to the deepest point of the placement cavity, a portion of the body always protrudes outside the material cylinder's placement cavity, facilitating the removal of the push rod from the material cylinder.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the push rod is provided with shredder blades on the side wall of the body, so that the push rod has the function of pushing food to be cut by applying force to move the food to be cut towards the feeding end as a vegetable cutter accessory, and can also be placed on the countertop as a shredder tool, which can shred foods such as cheese, carrots, and cucumbers. It has multiple functions, and consumers do not need to buy a shredder tool separately, which also avoids the trouble of storing multiple tools. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-5 The image shows an embodiment of the push rod of this utility model. The push rod of this embodiment includes a body 11, with a cavity 111 inside the body 11. The cavity 111 has an opening. A shaving blade 12 is provided on the side wall of the body 11, and multiple planing holes 121 are arranged in an array on the shaving blade 12, communicating with the cavity 111. Specifically, the side wall of the body 11 includes a first inclined surface 113, with a window 112 opened on the first inclined surface 113. The shaving blade 12 is fixed inside the window 112. In this embodiment, the shaving blade 12 is formed as an insert inside the window 112. See [link to documentation] for details. Figure 4-5The main body 11 has multiple protrusions 116 distributed along the periphery of the window 112 on its side wall. Correspondingly, the shredder 12 has mounting holes 122 for the protrusions 116 to pass through. It also includes a pressure ring 14, which is formed around the periphery of the shredder 12 and presses the shredder 12 tightly within the window 112. The pressure ring 14 has insertion holes 141 for the protrusions 116 to be inserted. When used for shredding, the main body 11 is placed on a table with the opening of the cavity 111 facing downwards. The pusher rod embeds the shredder 12 into the side wall of the main body 11, giving the pusher rod a shredding function, capable of shredding foods such as cheese, carrots, and cucumbers. In this embodiment, the periphery of the opening of the cavity 111 has an outwardly protruding flange 115. When the push rod is used for shaving, the body 11 is placed on the table with the opening of the cavity 111 facing downward. The flange 115 increases the contact area between the body 11 and the table, enhancing the stability of the body 11.

[0027] See Figure 3 The bottom surface of the main body 11 is arranged with multiple protrusions 13 for grinding and holding food, wherein the bottom surface is a second inclined surface 114 connected to the first inclined surface 113. The protrusions 13 have a dual function. When used as a push rod, the protrusions 13 can increase the friction between the push rod and the food in the material cylinder 3, thereby holding the food and preventing the food from shaking in the material cylinder 3 when the push rod applies force to move the food. In addition, the protrusions 13 can also be used as a grinder to grind fruits and vegetables such as garlic and wasabi into a paste.

[0028] In summary, the pusher rod of this embodiment integrates the shredder 12 and the grinder on the pusher rod, giving the pusher rod multiple functions. It can not only apply force to the food to be cut to move the food to be cut towards the feeding end for cutting, but also remove the pusher rod for shredding and grinding to process food. Consumers do not need to buy shredders and grinders separately, reducing household kitchenware expenses and avoiding the hassle of storing multiple tools.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figure 6The image shows an embodiment of the vegetable cutter of this utility model. This embodiment of the vegetable cutter includes a housing 2, a food cylinder 3, and a pusher rod. The food cylinder 3 is located at the feeding end of the housing 2. The food cylinder 3 has an open upper cavity 31 for placing the food to be cut. The pusher rod is shaped to fit the cavity 31 and can slide within the cavity 31. The pusher rod applies force to the food to be cut, causing it to move towards the feeding end for cutting. The pusher rod is the type described in Embodiment 1. The outer periphery of the open cavity 111 of the pusher rod has a protruding flange 115. When the body 11 is placed inside the cavity 31, the flange 115 rests on the outer end face of the food cylinder 3. The flange 115 ensures that when the pusher rod is pushed to the deepest part of the cavity 31, a portion of the body 11 is always exposed outside the cavity 31, facilitating the removal of the pusher rod from the food cylinder 3.
