Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a garlic chopper. Background Technology

[0002] A garlic chopper is a tool used to chop garlic. Existing garlic choppers include a hand-cranked garlic chopper disclosed in Chinese Utility Model CN220898547U and a press-type garlic chopper disclosed in Chinese Utility Model CN220967150U. These garlic choppers all use a rotary cutting blade, including a blade holder and several blades. The upper and lower ends of the blade holder are connected to a drive shaft and a positioning post, respectively. The rotation of the blade holder drives the blades to cut the garlic. However, during use, garlic cloves can get stuck in the gaps between the blade holder and the drive shaft and positioning post, affecting the rotation of the blade holder and causing jamming, thus resulting in uneven garlic chopping. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a garlic cutter that offers a more direct cutting method and smoother garlic cutting to address the above problems.
