TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to kitchenware manufacturing technical field, especially relate to a multifunctional vegetable cutter. BACKGROUND
[0002] Carrots, potatoes and other food materials generally need to be sliced or shredded before cooking. There are vegetable cutters on the market that switch between slicing and shredding by switching knives.
[0003] There are also vegetable cutters on the market that switch between different thicknesses of slices and different finenesses of shreds by setting adjustment devices. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 200920200548.5 discloses a push-type vegetable cutter that includes a handle, a base plate, a vertical plate, a horizontal knife, and vertical knives. The base plate is composed of a first base plate and a second base plate, and a slanted opening is formed between the two base plates. The outer end of the first base plate is connected to the handle, and the outer sides of the two base plates are connected to the vertical plate. The inner sides of the two base plates form a gap with the vertical plate. A height adjustment device is provided at the inner end of the first base plate. The two sides of the second base plate are fixedly connected to the vertical plate. A horizontal knife is provided above the opening, and the cutting edge of the horizontal knife faces the handle side. The horizontal knife is parallel to the base plate and has a gap with the base plate. The horizontal knife is fixed to the vertical plate and / or the second base plate. The first base plate forms multiple gaps, and a horizontal shaft that can rotate in one direction is provided below the gaps. Multiple groups of vertical knives are arranged on the horizontal shaft, and each group of vertical knives has multiple blades arranged in different numbers. When a group of vertical knives is turned to a position where the blades can extend out of the upper surface of the first base plate through the gaps, the group of blades can extend out of the upper surface of the first base plate. The first base plate of this patent can be "micro-moved" in the longitudinal direction by a knob, and the working condition of the vertical knives can be adjusted by another knob. This design has high production costs and is relatively complicated to operate. In addition, this patent focuses on adjusting the fineness of the shreds, and the thickness adjustment function of the slices is designed to serve the "fine shred" effect.
[0004] For example, US20170021515A1 discloses "MANDOLINE-TYPE FOOD SLICER", "A food slicer includes a frame for supporting a landing and a runway, which is movable relative to the landing. A cutting blade is secured on an upstream end of the landing. A separate cutting knife is moveably connected to the frame. An adjustment mechanism is connected to the frame to adjust an offset between the cutting blade and the runway. The adjustment mechanism includes first and second guide tracks provided on respective first and second movable cam plates, and a gear mechanism for moving the first and second cam plates along a length direction of the food slicer."The patent realizes the adjustment of the slice thickness and the exchange of the cutting function through a knob, but the specific adjustment mechanism is two guide rails, and the setting of the two guide rails causes the area of the cam plate where the two guide rails are located to be unable to be too small, thereby unable to reduce the space occupied by the whole product, the manufacturing cost is relatively high, and it is inconvenient for the user to store; in order to reduce the area of the cam plate, on the basis of setting the two guide rails, the patent sets the downstream part and the upstream part of the first guide rail, sets the lower, middle and upstream parts of the second guide rail, and the cam 460 in the patent has three different guide surfaces to adapt to driving the adjustment device, belongs to a special-shaped accessory, needs to be customized, the production cost is increased, and the replacement cost of the accessory for the user is also increased.
