Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a tofu cutting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] After tofu is pressed into blocks, it needs to be cut into smaller pieces for packaging and sale. To ensure that each piece of tofu is of uniform size, multiple equally spaced blades are typically used to cut the block. This method guarantees that each piece of tofu is of uniform size and weight, making it easier to sell. However, to meet market demand, tofu is often cut into multiple sizes for customers to choose from. Therefore, the blade spacing needs to be adjusted according to the size of the tofu being cut. Currently, tofu cutting mechanisms suffer from difficulties in adjusting the blade spacing.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems. We provide a tofu cutting mechanism that allows for easy adjustment of the cutting blades to meet the production needs of cutting tofu of different sizes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, we provide a tofu cutting mechanism, which includes a blade shaft body, multiple blades, and multiple partitions. One end of the blade shaft body is provided with a limiting step, and the other end is provided with a detachable clamping part. The multiple blades are mounted on the blade shaft body, and the partitions are provided between the blades. The partitions and the blades are both located between the limiting step and the clamping part. The partitions have a retaining cavity connected to the blade shaft body, and the side of the partitions has an opening communicating with the retaining cavity. The openings extend along the axial direction of the partitions and penetrate both ends of the partitions. The width of the openings is smaller than the diameter of the blade shaft body, and the openings can be deformed and opened under force.
[0006] In one or more embodiments, the cutter shaft body has a positioning groove that extends along the axial direction of the cutter shaft body, and the partition has a positioning part that inserts into the positioning groove.
[0007] In one or more embodiments, the positioning groove has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the two ends of the opening of the positioning groove are provided with arc-shaped transition structures.
[0008] In one or more embodiments, the clamping part is a nut, and the cutter shaft body has an external thread structure that is screwed into the nut.
[0009] In one or more embodiments, the two ends of the cutter shaft body are provided with shaft connecting parts, and the cross-sectional shape of the shaft connecting parts is one of triangle, rectangle, pentagon, and hexagon.
[0010] In one or more embodiments, the cutter shaft body and the cutter body are both made of stainless steel.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: the cutting mechanism can adjust the blade distance without disassembling the blade body, and the blade distance adjustment operation is simple and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the slitting mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0013] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the cutting mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0014] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0015] Please refer to Figure 1-2 This application provides a tofu cutting mechanism, which includes a blade shaft body 1, multiple blades 2, and multiple partitions 3. One end of the blade shaft body 1 is provided with a limiting step 4, and the other end is provided with a detachable clamping part 5. The multiple blades 2 are inserted through the blade shaft body 1, and the partitions 3 are provided between the blades 2. The length of the partitions determines the blade distance between the blades. The partitions 3 and the blades 2 are both located between the limiting step 4 and the clamping part 5. The partitions 3 have a retaining cavity 31 connected to the blade shaft body 1. The side of the partitions 3 has an opening 6 communicating with the retaining cavity 31. The opening 6 extends along the axial direction of the partitions 3 and passes through both ends of the partitions. The width of the opening 6 is smaller than the diameter of the blade shaft body 1, and the opening 6 can be deformed and opened under force. When adjusting the tool spacing in actual use, first loosen the clamping part to prevent the separator and the tool body from fitting tightly together. Then, pull the separator outwards and install a separator of appropriate length between the tool bodies. After all the separators have been replaced, tighten the clamping part again. During the tool spacing adjustment process, there is no need to disassemble the tool body; only the separator needs to be replaced. The separator is installed on the tool shaft body using a snap-fit method and is later tightened by the clamping part, offering the advantage of easy replacement.
[0016] The cutter shaft body 1 has a positioning groove 7 that extends along the axial direction of the cutter shaft body 1. The partition 3 has a positioning part 8 that is inserted into the positioning groove. The positioning part and the positioning groove are designed to cooperate to position the partition and restrict its rotation after it is installed on the cutter shaft body. This ensures that the installation and disassembly direction of the partition is consistent and improves the tightness of the connection between the partition and the cutter shaft body.
[0017] The positioning groove 7 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the two ends of the opening of the positioning groove 7 are provided with arc-shaped transition structures to facilitate the insertion of the positioning part into the positioning groove.
[0018] The tightening part 5 is a nut, and the cutter shaft body 1 has an external thread structure 9 that is screwed into the nut. The tightening method of the cutter is fixed by screwing, which has the advantages of easy operation and adjustment.
[0019] The cutter shaft body 1 has shaft connecting parts 10 at both ends. The cross-sectional shape of the shaft connecting parts 10 is one of triangle, rectangle, pentagon, or hexagon, so as to facilitate the installation and fixation of the slitting mechanism onto the automated equipment.
[0020] Both the cutter shaft body 1 and the cutter body 2 are made of stainless steel, which has the advantages of being waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
