Description

Technical Field

[0001] This technical solution relates to the field of vegetable cutter technology, and specifically refers to a vegetable cutter. Background Technology

[0002] A vegetable cutter is a kitchen tool primarily used for quickly and evenly cutting vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients. Through its built-in blades or cutting components, it helps users avoid the tedious steps of manual cutting, making it especially suitable for scenarios that require processing large quantities of ingredients or pursuing consistent slicing / shredding. Its power structure includes manual and electric options.

[0003] Chinese patent CN108858317A discloses a food cutter. The working principle of this food cutter for adjusting the blade extension length is achieved through the engagement of a threaded rod and a threaded hole located below the first blade. This adjustment method has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Since the two threaded rods are respectively located in the middle of the first cutter holder and the second cutter holder, when the first cutter and the second cutter are cutting an object, the force on the left and right sides of the first cutter holder or the second cutter holder may be uneven. This may cause the first cutter holder or the second cutter holder to tilt, resulting in breakage and damage at the connection with the threaded rod, thus affecting the service life of the cutter.

[0005] 2. The threaded rod needs to be turned many times to lift the first or second tool holder to the appropriate position. Furthermore, when lifting the first or second tool holder, the corresponding threaded rod needs to be turned separately. This adjustment process is quite laborious and cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this technical solution is to provide a vegetable cutter that extends the first blade holder by pushing the blade pusher assembly laterally. When the first blade holder extends, only two blade protrusions support its extension, thus solving the problem that the first or second blade holder is damaged after tilting due to different pressures during operation of the original cutter.

[0007] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved as follows:

[0008] A vegetable cutter includes: an outer shell with a vegetable rack on it, and a cutting opening in a region of the outer shell corresponding to the vegetable rack; and a pull-out plate movably mounted on the outer shell, on which a cutting device is movably mounted, the cutting device cutting objects inserted into the cutting opening as it moves with the pull-out plate; wherein the cutting device includes: a first blade holder movably mounted on the pull-out plate, and having a first blade thereon, the side wall of the first blade holder having a first slide rail; and a cutting push block assembly having at least two cutting protrusions thereon; wherein the cutting protrusions are movably positioned within the first slide rail, and by laterally pushing the cutting push block assembly, and with the cooperation of the cutting protrusions and the first slide rail, the first blade holder moves up and down relative to the pull-out plate, thereby adjusting the cutting depth.

[0009] Preferably, the cutting device further includes a second blade holder, the front end of which passes through the first blade holder and is connected to the cutting push block assembly. The second blade holder is provided with a second blade, and a second slide is provided on the side wall of the second blade holder. The cutting protrusion is simultaneously movably placed in the second slide, and by pushing the cutting push block assembly laterally, and with the cooperation of the cutting protrusion and the second slide, the second blade holder can move up and down relative to the pull plate, thereby adjusting the cutting depth.

[0010] Preferably, the first slide rail and the second slide rail are staggered to ensure that the first blade and the second blade are pushed out independently and sequentially during the movement of the cutter pusher assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the positions of the first slide and the second slide are adapted to each other, and during the lateral movement of the cutter pusher assembly, the cutter protrusion moves from the first slide into the second slide and continues to move.

[0012] Preferably, the cutting device further includes a blade holder limiting part, which is disposed on the rear end face of the first blade holder; blade holder guide parts are disposed on the left and right end faces of the second blade holder, and the blade holder guide parts are movably disposed in the blade holder guide groove formed by the blade holder limiting part and the first blade holder.

[0013] Preferably, the cutter pusher assembly includes: a cutter slider disposed on the inner side of the pull-out plate; a cutter knob disposed on the cutter slider and located on the outer side of the pull-out plate; and a cutter pusher plate disposed on the cutter slider.

[0014] Preferably, the cutter slider has a protruding slider protrusion and the cutter slider has a slider groove. When the cutter slider is installed on the cutter slider, the slider protrusion is placed in the slider groove. The cutter slider has a slider protrusion and the cutter push plate has a push plate groove. When the cutter push plate is installed on the cutter slider, the slider protrusion is placed in the push plate groove.

[0015] Preferably, tool holder limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the first tool holder, and tool holder limiting grooves are provided on the side wall of the pull-out plate; when the first tool holder is installed on the pull-out plate, the tool holder limiting blocks are movably placed in the tool holder limiting grooves.

[0016] Preferably, the number of the cutting devices is set to one or more.

[0017] The key and beneficial technical effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are:

[0018] 1. The cutting pusher assembly designed in this technical solution can raise the first blade holder while moving, allowing the first blade to cut the object. This transmission method only requires the cutting pusher assembly to move in one direction, without the need for multiple turns of twisting. Furthermore, the first blade can be retracted after the cutting pusher assembly moves in the opposite direction. At the same time, the cutting pusher assembly has at least two cutting protrusions, which also serve as support points for the first blade holder, ensuring the smooth raising and lowering of the first blade holder and preventing the first blade holder from tilting under pressure, thereby avoiding safety risks.

[0019] 2. The operation method of the second blade holder lifting in this technical solution is the same as that of the first blade holder lifting. After adding the second blade holder to the first blade holder, the cutting density can be adjusted. During the movement of the cutting push block assembly, the first blade is preferably extended, and then the second blade follows. This provides two different cutting methods. Controlling the extension of the first and second blades only requires moving the cutting push block assembly. The structure is simple to operate and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The specific implementation of this technical solution will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a vegetable cutter includes an outer shell 1, a pull-out plate 4, and a cutting device 5. A vegetable rack 2 is provided on the outer shell 1, and a cutting opening 3 is provided in the area of ​​the outer shell 1 corresponding to the vegetable rack 2. The pull-out plate 4 is movably mounted on the outer shell 1 and is provided with the cutting device 5, a cross blade 42, and a lifting plate 43. The item to be cut enters through the cutting opening 3 and is placed on the lifting plate 43. The height of the lifting plate 43 can be adjusted by manually turning it. After adjusting the height of the lifting plate 43 to create a height difference between it and the cross blade 42, the pull-out plate 4 can be manually moved back and forth to slice the item. The cutting device 5 is located inside the pull-out plate 4 and can move with the pull-out plate 4. At this time, the cutting device 5 can be raised and lowered to extend out of the lifting plate 43 to shred the item.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the cutting device 5 includes a first blade holder 6, a first blade 61, and a cutting pusher assembly 8. The first blade holder 6 is movably mounted on the pull-out plate 4 and can move up and down on the pull-out plate 4. The first blade 61 is mounted on the first blade holder 6. A first slide rail 62 is provided on the side wall of the first blade holder 6. The number of first slide rails 62 is adapted to the number of cutting protrusions 84 on the cutting pusher assembly 8. The cutting pusher assembly 8 includes a cutting slider 81, a cutting button 82, and a cutting push plate 83. The cutting slider 81 is located inside the pull-out plate 4. The cutter slider 82 is mounted on the cutter slider 81 and located outside the pull plate 4. The cutter pusher plate 83 is mounted on the cutter slider 81 and has at least two cutter protrusions 84. All cutter protrusions 84 are movably positioned within the first slide rail 62. When the cutter slider 82 is manually pushed, it can drive the cutter pusher plate to move through the cutter slider 81. At this time, with the cooperation of the cutter protrusions 84 and the first slide rail 62, the first knife holder 6 can move up and down relative to the pull plate 4, thereby adjusting the cutting depth.

[0032] Furthermore, the first slide 62 is Z-shaped, comprising two flat slides and one inclined slide. The two flat slides are connected to the beginning and end of the inclined slide respectively. When the cutting protrusion 84 engages with the inclined slide, the first tool holder 6 moves up and down. When the cutting protrusion 84 engages with the flat slide, the first tool holder 6 maintains its current state.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cutting device 5 also includes a second blade holder 7 and a second blade 71. The front end of the second blade holder 7 passes through the first blade holder 6 and is connected to the cutting push block assembly 8. A channel is provided in the middle of the first blade holder 6, and the width of the channel is adapted to the width of the protrusion at the front end of the second blade holder 7. The front end of the second blade holder 7 passes through the channel and cooperates with the cutting push plate 83. A second slide rail 72 is provided on the side wall of the second blade holder 7. The second blade 71 is set on the second blade holder 7. This cooperation method allows the cutting protrusion 84 to be moved simultaneously in the first slide rail 62 and the second slide rail 72. Under this cooperation method, the number of cutting protrusions 84 can be increased, which facilitates the stability of the first blade holder 6 and the second blade holder 7 when they are raised and lowered. By pushing the cutting push block assembly 8 laterally, and with the cooperation of the cutting protrusion 84 and the second slide rail 72, the second blade holder 7 can be raised and lowered relative to the pull plate 4, thereby adjusting the cutting depth.

[0034] Furthermore, the second slide 72 and the first slide 62 have similar structures, both being "Z"-shaped and including two flat slides and one inclined slide. The first slide 62 and the second slide 72 are staggered, that is, when one of the cutting protrusions 84 is in the inclined slide of the first slide 62, the other cutting protrusion 84 is in the flat slide of the second slide 72. This allows the first blade holder 6 to be withdrawn first. When the first blade 61 and the second blade 71 are withdrawn independently one after the other, the vegetable cutter has two different cutting densities.

[0035] Furthermore, the positions of the first slide rail 62 and the second slide rail 72 are adapted to each other. During the lateral movement of the cutter pusher assembly 8, the cutter protrusion 84 can enter the second slide rail 72 from the first slide rail 62 to continue moving, or enter the first slide rail 62 from the second slide rail 72 to continue moving. This ensures that the switching between two different cutting densities can be achieved during one unidirectional movement of the cutter pusher plate 83.

[0036] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the cutting device 5 also includes a tool holder limiting part 63. The tool holder limiting part 63 is detachably mounted on the rear end face of the first tool holder 6 by screws. Tool holder guide parts 73 are provided on the left and right end faces of the second tool holder 7. The tool holder guide parts 73 are movably placed in the tool holder guide groove 64 formed by the tool holder limiting part 63 and the first tool holder 6. This is used to ensure the stability of the second tool holder 7 after installation and during lifting, and also to limit the second tool holder 7 in the longitudinal direction.

[0037] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the cutter slider 82 has a protruding slider protrusion 85, and the cutter slider 81 has a slider groove 86. When the cutter slider 81 is installed on the cutter slider 82, the slider protrusion 85 is placed in the slider groove 86. The cutter slider 81 has a slider protrusion 87, and the cutter push plate 83 has a push plate groove 88. When the cutter push plate 83 is installed on the cutter slider 81, the slider protrusion 87 is placed in the push plate groove 88. The cutter slider 82, the cutter slider 81, and the cutter push plate 83 are all detachably connected to each other, which facilitates the assembly of the vegetable cutter.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, tool holder limiting blocks 65 are provided on both sides of the first tool holder 6, and tool holder limiting grooves 41 are provided on the side wall of the pull plate 4. When the first tool holder 6 is installed on the pull plate 4, the tool holder limiting blocks 65 are movably placed in the tool holder limiting grooves 41. The cooperation between the tool holder limiting blocks 65 and the tool holder limiting grooves 41 is used to guide the cutting device 5 when it is raised and lowered, thereby increasing its stability.

[0039] Furthermore, the number of cutting devices 5 can be set to one or more. Multiple cutting devices 5 with different blade densities can be set on the pull plate 4, so that there can be more types of cutting densities. All cutting devices 5 are arranged in sequence.
