Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread processing technology, and in particular to a thickness adjustment mechanism for a bread slicer. Background Technology

[0002] After the bread is processed, it is decided whether to slice it depending on the type of bread. For example, if the bread needs to be pan-fried or baked, it needs to be sliced. Sliced ​​bread is easier to crisp on the surface and soft on the inside after baking, resulting in a better taste.

[0003] However, there are many types of bread, and the required thickness of bread slices varies during baking. If the bread slices are too thick, the texture will be rough (e.g., the crumb of toast may be sticky), and the outside will be burnt while the inside is raw when frying or baking. If the slices are too thin, they will be brittle, and hard-crusted bread will lose its crispness. Therefore, when slicing different types of bread, it is necessary to slice them appropriately according to the type of bread. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes the thickness adjustment mechanism of a bread slicer.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in one embodiment, a thickness adjustment mechanism for a bread slicer includes a frame 1, a sliding block 2, a fixing rod 3, a vertical plate 4, a cutting blade 5, a placement plate 6, and an adjustment assembly 7.

[0032] The sliding block 2 is set to two, both of which are slidably connected to the frame 1. The fixing rod 3 is horizontally fixed between the two sliding blocks 2, and the number is set to multiple. The vertical plate 4 is slidably installed on the outside of the fixing rod 3. The cutter 5 is installed at the bottom of the vertical plate 4 and can slice bread. The placement plate 6 is used to place bread. The adjustment component 7 can adjust the position of the vertical plate 4 and the cutter 5, and adjust the distance between the cutter 5.

[0033] Specifically, the bread to be sliced ​​is placed on the placement plate 6, with the cutter 5 at a certain height from the placement plate 6. By adjusting the component 7, the vertical plate 4 is moved horizontally along the fixed rod 3, which can adjust the distance between two connected vertical plates 4. This also changes the distance between the connected cutters 5, thus changing the thickness of the bread slices. After adjustment, the sliding block 2 is moved downward along the frame 1. The downward movement of the sliding block 2 will cause the fixed rod 3, the vertical plate 4, and the cutter 5 to move downward together, allowing the cutter 5 to slice the bread. The sliding block 2 can be driven manually or by a motor.

[0034] See Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment component 7 includes a sliding plate 71, both ends of which are slidably connected to the sliding block 2. The sliding plate 71 is installed on one side of the fixed rod 3. Multiple inclined grooves 72 are axially symmetrically opened on both sides of the sliding plate 71. Limiting rods 73 are slidably arranged in the inclined grooves 72. The end of the limiting rod 73 away from the inclined groove 72 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 4.

[0035] Specifically, when the limiting rod 73 is at the bottom of the inclined groove 72, the distance between the cutters 5 is at its maximum. At this time, the cutters 5 move downward to slice the bread, and the bread slices are the thickest. When it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the bread slices, the sliding plate 71 is moved upward along the sliding block 2. The upward movement of the sliding plate 71 will cause the limiting rod 73 to move closer to the center. The movement of the limiting rod 73 to the center will cause the vertical plate 4 and the cutters 5 to move closer to the center, shortening the distance between the connected cutters 5, and the thickness of the bread slices will also decrease accordingly. Similarly, when it is necessary to increase the thickness of the bread slices, the sliding plate 71 is moved downward.

[0036] See Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning frame 8 is fixedly arranged between the two sliding blocks 2. The positioning frame 8 is located on one side of the sliding plate 71. A positioning plate 9 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sliding plate 71 near the positioning frame 8. The positioning plate 9 is slidably connected to the positioning frame 8. A lead screw 10 is rotatably arranged on the positioning frame 8. One end of the lead screw 10 moves through the positioning plate 9.

[0037] Specifically, adjusting the height of the sliding plate 71 can adjust the distance between the cutters 5. Rotating the lead screw 10 in both directions can raise and lower the positioning plate 9 and the sliding plate 71, thereby adjusting the distance between the cutters 5. The positioning frame 8 provides support for the lead screw 10. The lead screw 10 can be driven by a motor or manually.

[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a horizontal plate 11 is fixedly arranged between the two sliding blocks 2. The horizontal plate 11 movably passes through multiple vertical plates 4. Multiple limiting holes 111 are opened in a horizontal linear array on the horizontal plate 11. A vertical groove 41 is opened in the center of the vertical plate 4. A fixing plate 12 is fixedly arranged in the vertical groove 41. A locking rod 13 is movably arranged through the center of the fixing plate 12. The locking rod 13 is movably engaged with the limiting hole 111. The locking rod 13 and the fixing plate 12 are connected by a spring 14.

[0039] Specifically, the rising and falling of the sliding plate 71 enables the vertical plate 4 to move laterally relative to the fixed rod 3 and the horizontal plate 11. During this process, the locking rod 13 is not engaged with the limiting hole 111, and the spring 14 is in a stretched state. After the distance between the cutters 5 is adjusted, the spring 14 is not pulled. During the process of the spring 14 returning to its original state, it will drive the locking rod 13 to move downward relative to the vertical groove 41. The bottom of the locking rod 13 engages with the limiting hole 111. At this time, the vertical plate 4 will no longer move relative to the horizontal plate 11, and the cutter 5 is in a positioning state, which can ensure that there will be no deviation when slicing bread. The fixed plate 12 provides support for the spring 14. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the cutter 5, the locking rod 13 is moved upward, and the locking rod 13 is disengaged from the limiting hole 111. During this process, the spring 14 will be stretched.

[0040] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a movable plate 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the lever 13. A straight groove 151 is opened on the movable plate 15, which movably passes through the vertical plate 4. A moving groove 21 is opened on the sliding block 2. The height of the moving groove 21 is higher than the height of the straight groove 151. A movable rod 16 is movably installed in the straight groove 151 and the moving groove 21.

[0041] Specifically, when the cutter 5 is working, the locking rod 13 engages with the limiting hole 111. When the position of the cutter 5 needs to be adjusted, the movable rod 16 moves upward along the straight groove 151 opened in the movable plate 15. After the movable rod 16 moves upward to the top of the straight groove 151, it will continue to move upward, which will drive the movable plate 15 and the locking rod 13 to move upward together. The end of the movable rod 16 will move upward along the moving groove 21. The height of the moving groove 21 is higher than the height of the straight groove 151. This is because after the middle of the movable rod 16 reaches the top of the straight groove 151, it will drive the locking rod 13 to continue to move upward for a distance. This prevents the end of the movable rod 16 from being unable to move upward due to the limitation of the moving groove 21. The bottom of the locking rod 13 will then disengage from the limiting hole 111. At this time, the position of the vertical plate 4 and the cutter 5 can be adjusted.

[0042] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable plate 15 has a horizontal groove 152 on one side of the straight groove 151. The horizontal groove 152 is connected to the straight groove 151. The horizontal groove 152 movably passes through the vertical plate 4. The sliding block 2 has a sliding groove 22. The sliding groove 22 is connected to the moving groove 21. The movable rod 16 is slidably connected to the horizontal groove 152 and the sliding groove 22.

[0043] Specifically, after the movable rod 16 moves upward to the top of the straight groove 151, it continues to move upward, which will drive the movable plate 15 and the locking rod 13 to move upward. The locking rod 13 is no longer engaged with the limiting hole 111. Then the movable rod 16 moves laterally, and the middle part of the movable rod 16 enters the horizontal groove 152, while the end of the movable rod 16 moves into the sliding groove 22. In this way, the movable rod 16 will be in a limited state and will not move downward, which makes it convenient to adjust the position of the vertical plate 4 and the cutter 5.

[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
