Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vegetable cutting mechanisms, specifically a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production. Background Technology
[0002] Kimchi is made by pickling various tender vegetables in a low-concentration brine or with a small amount of salt, and then fermenting them with lactic acid bacteria to create a sour pickled product. As long as the lactic acid content reaches a certain concentration and the product is kept away from air, it can be stored for a long time.
[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the following problems in the prior art have not been solved: the existing manual vegetable cutters used for kimchi production mostly cut vegetables one cut at a time, and the kimchi is not accurately pushed and moved, which easily results in kimchi being cut too long or too short, and its practicality is not ideal. It is in urgent need of improvement. Therefore, we propose a vegetable cutter for kimchi production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production, comprising a plate body, wherein a gantry plate is fixedly installed on the top of both side walls of the plate body, and a top plate is placed on the top of the gantry plate;
[0006] The plate body has an integrally formed receiving groove in the middle, and support rods are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the plate body. A guide plate is connected to one side of the plate body.
[0007] Both sides of the gantry panel have internal rods that can be moved through it. A horizontal plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the internal rod, a pressure plate is fixedly installed at the top of the internal rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the top of the internal rod.
[0008] The lower surface of the horizontal plate has several sets of evenly arranged limiting grooves, in which a cutter is positioned. A rod hole is located on the upper side of the horizontal plate near the limiting groove, through which a screw rod moves. The bottom end of the screw rod is screwed into a pre-set threaded groove on the top of the cutter via an external thread. The cutter can be used in conjunction with the limiting grooves, multiple sets of cutters, and springs. During operation, after placing the kimchi in the receiving slot, the pressure plate can be manually pressed down, causing the inner rod to move downwards quickly. Because the cutters are evenly arranged, they can cut the kimchi more evenly compared to existing methods. Furthermore, with multiple sets of limiting grooves, the cutter can be fixed in the appropriate limiting groove according to the required cutting length of the kimchi, making it widely applicable and highly versatile.
[0009] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the top of the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the top plate, a support rod is fixedly installed on one side of the lower surface of the top plate, a pedal is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support rod, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the pedal. The support rod and pedal can be used together to make the cutter move downwards when the user becomes tired from pressing the cutting tool by hand. This allows the user to sit on the seat and place one foot on the pedal, and apply pressure with their foot to move the cutting tool downwards. This makes the cutting machine both manual and foot-operated, allowing the user to switch between manual and foot-operated modes, making the device more user-friendly and indirectly improving processing efficiency.
[0010] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, an indicator sticker is glued to one side of the front wall of the top plate, and a waterproof membrane is integrally formed on the outer side of the indicator sticker. The guide text on the indicator sticker can inform the operator of the corresponding procedures, making it easy to understand and use. At the same time, the waterproof membrane can improve the service life of the indicator sticker.
[0011] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, bolts are movably inserted at both corners of the top plate, and the bottom end of the bolts is screwed into the pre-set screw hole in the pressure plate through the external thread. The bolts and screw holes can be used for the detachable and stable limiting of the top plate mechanism, which meets the needs of future replacement and use.
[0012] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the two sets of springs are fixedly connected at both ends to the pressure plate and the gantry plate respectively. The fixed connection of the springs can prevent the springs from slipping off at both ends during the extension and retraction, and avoid frequent reinstallation of the spring assembly.
[0013] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, limit plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the gantry plate. The distance between the upper surface of the limit plate and the pressure plate is the same as the distance between the bottom end of the cutter and the inner wall of the bottom of the plate. The limit plates can limit the downward movement of the pressure plate to prevent the cutter from moving too far downward and causing impact damage to the plate, thus playing a role in protecting the cutter.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model discloses a vegetable cutter for kimchi production. By setting up limiting grooves, multiple sets of cutters, and springs, during the operation of the vegetable cutter, after the kimchi is placed in the receiving groove, the pressure plate can be pressed down manually. The pressure plate can drive the inner rod to move down quickly. Since the cutters are in an equidistant array, the cutters can cut the kimchi. Compared with the existing methods, the kimchi is cut more evenly. At the same time, multiple sets of limiting grooves are set. Later, according to the required cutting length of the kimchi, the cutters can be fixed in the corresponding limiting grooves. It has a wide range of applications and strong versatility.
[0016] 2. This utility model discloses a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production. By setting up a support rod and a pedal, when the user becomes fatigued from pressing the cutting tool by hand, the user can sit on the seat and place one foot on the pedal. By applying force with the foot, the cutting tool can be lowered, thus moving the cutting tool downwards. This allows the vegetable cutting machine to be operated manually or by foot, which can be switched between manual and foot operation, making the device more user-friendly and indirectly improving processing efficiency.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a vegetable cutter for kimchi production, including a plate body 1, with gantry plates 3 fixedly installed on the top of both side walls of the plate body 1, and a top plate 4 placed on top of the gantry plates 3. An indicator sticker 42 is glued to one side of the front wall of the top plate 4, and a waterproof membrane is integrally formed on the outer side of the indicator sticker 42. The guide text on the indicator sticker 42 can inform the operator of the corresponding process, making it easy to understand and use. At the same time, the waterproof membrane can improve the service life of the indicator sticker 42. An accommodating groove 11 is integrally formed in the middle of the plate body 1, and support rods 13 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the plate body 1. A guide plate 12 is connected to one side of the plate body 1. Inner rods 31 are movably inserted through both sides of the gantry plates 3. A horizontal plate 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner rod 31, and a pressure plate 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner rod 31. A sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the top of the inner rod 31. Spring 33, two sets of spring 33 are fixedly connected at both ends to pressure plate 32 and gantry plate 3 respectively. The fixed connection of spring 33 can prevent spring 33 from slipping off at both ends during extension and retraction, and avoid frequent reinstallation of spring 33 assembly; several sets of uniformly arrayed limiting grooves 51 are opened on the lower surface of horizontal plate 2. Cutting blade 5 is locked in the limiting groove 51. Rod hole 52 is opened on the upper side of horizontal plate 2 near the limiting groove 51. Screw 53 moves through the rod hole 52 and the bottom end of screw 53 is screwed to the pre-set thread groove on the top of cutting blade 5 through external thread. Limiting plates 34 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of gantry plate 3. The distance between the upper surface of limiting plate 34 and pressure plate 32 is the same as the distance between the bottom end of cutting blade 5 and the bottom inner wall of plate body 1. The downward movement distance of pressure plate 32 can be limited by limiting plate 34 to prevent cutting blade 5 from moving too far downward and impacting plate body 1, thus playing a role in blade protection.
[0024] In this technical solution, components such as limiting grooves 51, multiple sets of cutters 5, and springs 33 can be used together. During the operation of the vegetable cutter, after the kimchi is placed in the receiving groove 11, the pressure plate 32 can be pressed down manually. The pressure plate 32 can drive the inner rod 31 to move down quickly. Since the cutters 5 are in an equidistant array, the cutters 5 can cut the kimchi. Compared with the existing method, the kimchi is cut more evenly. At the same time, multiple sets of limiting grooves 51 are set. Later, according to the required cutting length of the kimchi, the cutters 5 can be fixed in the corresponding limiting grooves 51. It has a wide range of applications and strong versatility.
[0025] In some technical solutions, the top of the pressure plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top plate 4, and bolts 43 are movably inserted at both corners of the top plate 4. The bottom end of the bolts 43 is screwed into the pre-set screw hole in the pressure plate 32 through the external thread. The bolts 43 and the screw hole are used to make the top plate 4 mechanism detachable and stable, which meets the needs of later replacement and use. A support rod 41 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower surface of the top plate 4, and a pedal 44 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support rod 41. An anti-slip pad 45 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the pedal 44.
[0026] In this technical solution, components such as the support rod 41 and the pedal 44 can be used together. Whenever fatigue occurs when pressing the cutting tool by hand, the person can sit on the seat and place one foot on the pedal 44. By applying force with the foot, the pedal 44 can be pressed down, which can move the cutting blade 5 downward. This allows the cutting machine to be operated manually or by foot, which can be switched between by the person, making the device more user-friendly and indirectly improving processing efficiency.
[0027] Working principle: It should be noted that this utility model is a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production. All parts are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Its structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional test methods.
[0028] When using a vegetable cutting machine for kimchi production, the vegetable cutting machine is placed at the kimchi production station. Then, the kimchi to be cut is placed in the receiving trough 11, cut by the cutter 5, pushed into the guide plate 12, and slid into the collection container for manual cutting of kimchi.
[0029] By incorporating limiting grooves 51, multiple sets of cutters 5, and springs 33, during the operation of the vegetable cutter, after the kimchi is placed in the receiving slot 11, the pressure plate 32 can be manually pressed down. The pressure plate 32 can then drive the inner rod 31 to move down quickly. Since the cutters 5 are arranged in an equidistant array, they can cut the kimchi more evenly compared to existing methods. Furthermore, multiple sets of limiting grooves 51 allow the cutters 5 to be fixed in the corresponding limiting grooves 51 according to the required cutting length of the kimchi. This design offers wide applicability and strong versatility. With the addition of support rods 41 and pedals 44, when fatigue occurs from manually pressing the cutting mechanism, the operator can sit on the seat and place one foot on the pedal 44. Pressing down the pedal 44 with the foot will lower the cutter 5, allowing the vegetable cutter to be operated manually or by foot, enabling switching between manual and foot operation, making the device more user-friendly and indirectly improving processing efficiency.
