Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food shredders, and in particular to a multifunctional knife and food shredder that can be used in combination. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common food choppers on the market include a box body and a pressure plate hinged to the end of the box body via a pin. The box body has a cavity, and a lid is located at the top of the box body. The lid has a blade assembly, and the pressure plate has a mold with several protrusions corresponding to the position of the blade assembly. The pressure plate can rotate between a closed position near the lid and an open position away from the lid. In the closed position, the blade assembly and the mold work together to chop the food. Since different foods and cooking methods require different sizes, the blade assemblies of existing food choppers are single and cannot cut foods of different sizes. Alternatively, they may be equipped with two blade assemblies with different blade unit sizes, one with a small blade unit and the other with a large blade unit. When a blade assembly with a different blade unit size is needed, the original blade assembly placed on the lid must be removed and replaced with the blade assembly of the required blade unit size, which is cumbersome. Therefore, the existing blade assemblies and corresponding food choppers need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-functional knife and food chopper that can be used in combination.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a multi-functional cutting tool that can be used in combination includes a first blade assembly 10 and a second blade assembly 20. The first blade assembly 10 includes a first retainer 11 arranged in a ring and a first blade grid 12 disposed within the first retainer 11. The second blade assembly 20 includes a second retainer 21 arranged in a ring and a second blade grid 22 disposed within the second retainer 21.

[0028] The first blade assembly 10 is used alone or in combination with the second blade assembly 20. When the first blade assembly 10 and the second blade assembly 20 are used together, the second blade assembly 20 and the first blade assembly 10 are stacked from top to bottom, so that the first blade grid 12 and the second blade grid 22 are misaligned and matched, so that they can cooperate with the pressing mold of the food chopper body 30 to cut the food into strips or blocks with smaller cross-sections. When the first blade assembly 10 is used alone, the food will be cut into strips or blocks with slightly larger cross-sections.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first retainer 11 has a protrusion 111 at its upper end and the second retainer 21 has a groove 211 at its lower end. When the second retainer 21 and the first retainer 11 are used together, the protrusion 111 is inserted into the groove 211 and positioned in cooperation with the groove 211 to limit the positions of the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21. The positioning cooperation between the protrusion 111 and the groove 211 prevents the second retainer 21 from moving relative to the first retainer 11 during the cutting process.

[0030] In some embodiments, one end of the first retainer 11 extends to a first handle portion 112, and one end of the second retainer 21 extends to a second handle portion 212. Specifically, the first retainer 11 is provided with protrusions 111 around its perimeter, and the second retainer 21 is also provided with grooves 211 around its perimeter, and the positions of the grooves 211 correspond to the positions of the protrusions 111.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first blade grid 12 has a plurality of first grid holes 121, and the second blade grid 22 has a plurality of second grid holes 221. When the first blade grid 12 and the second blade grid 22 are misaligned, a third grid hole with a smaller diameter is formed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the size of the third grid hole formed by the misalignment of the first blade grid 12 and the second blade grid 22 is approximately one-quarter of the size of the first grid hole 121 and also approximately one-quarter of the size of the second grid hole 221. Figure 5 The mesh-type unit holes shown are the first grid holes 121. Figure 3 The mesh-type unit holes shown are the third grid holes. Of course, in other embodiments, the third grid holes may also be defined to other shapes or sizes according to the shape or size of the first grid hole 121 and the second grid hole 221.

[0032] In some embodiments, a first fastening portion 113 is provided at one end of the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21, and a second fastening portion 114 is provided at the other end of the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21, respectively. The first fastening portion 113 and the second fastening portion 114 are used to fasten and fix the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21 to the food chopper body 30.

[0033] A food chopper includes a food chopper body 30 and a blade having any of the above-described features. The food chopper body 30 has a receiving cavity 31 and an annular stepped groove 32, the annular stepped groove 32 being connected to the receiving cavity 31. A first blade assembly 10 is fixedly installed in the annular stepped groove 32 of the food chopper body 30, and a second blade assembly 20 is optionally installed in the annular stepped groove 32 at a position corresponding to the upper end of the first blade assembly 10.

[0034] When food needs to be cut into strips or chunks with a larger cross-section, the first blade assembly 10 is used. Therefore, the first blade assembly 10 remains fixed on the food chopper body 30 unless it needs to be cleaned. When food needs to be cut into strips or chunks with a smaller cross-section, the first blade assembly 10 and the second blade assembly 20 are used together. Compared with the prior art, this utility model only requires the addition of the second blade assembly 20 to cut food into strips or chunks with a smaller cross-section, thus making the operation more convenient.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21 can be fastened to the food chopper body 30 respectively. Specifically, one end of the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21 is provided with a first fastening part 113, and the other end of the first retainer 11 and the second retainer 21 is provided with a second fastening part 114 respectively. The food chopper body 30 is provided with a third fastening part 34 that fastens to the first fastening part 113 and a fourth fastening part 35 that fastens to the second fastening part 114. One of the first fastening part 113 and the third fastening part 34 is a latching protrusion and the other is a latching groove. Similarly, one of the second fastening part 114 and the fourth fastening part 35 is a latching protrusion and the other is a latching groove.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first retainer 11 is provided with a first handle portion 112, the second retainer 21 is provided with a second handle portion 212, and the food chopper body 30 is provided with a groove 33 corresponding to the positions of the first handle portion 112 and the second handle portion 212. The groove 33 facilitates the removal of the first blade assembly 10 and the second blade assembly 20. In other words, the groove 33 facilitates the user's disassembly and assembly of the first blade assembly 10 and the second blade assembly 20.

[0037] In some embodiments, the dimensions of the first retainer 11 of the first blade assembly 10 and the second retainer 21 of the second blade assembly 20 are respectively adapted to the dimensions of the annular stepped groove 32, which can more stably hold the first blade assembly 10 and the second blade assembly 20 within the annular stepped groove 32 and prevent displacement during cutting.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
