While improving cooking efficiency, it also effectively ensures food safety and hygiene. Currently, the market offers a wide variety of vegetable cutters, ranging from small household cutters to large commercial cutters, fully meeting the actual needs of different user groups.

[0003] The applicant previously applied for a patent related to vegetable cutters, and patent publication number CN221736292U discloses a food processing machine. This food processing machine includes a main unit with a discharge plate and a discharge port. A transverse feeding belt mechanism is installed at the inlet end of the discharge port, and a pressing feeding belt mechanism is inclined relative to the transverse feeding belt mechanism. The pressing feeding belt mechanism is hinged to the main unit via a swing frame. A return spring is installed between the swing frame and the main unit, which pulls the swing frame to swing continuously towards the transverse feeding belt mechanism, thereby driving the pressing feeding belt mechanism to swing towards the transverse feeding belt mechanism, thus conveying the food held between them towards the discharge port.

[0004] However, in the above structural design, the feeding points of the pressing and feeding belt mechanism and the transverse feeding belt mechanism lack corresponding protective structures. In actual use, operators' limbs are highly likely to come into contact with these areas, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, it is evident that the existing technology still has room for improvement. Thus, it is necessary to disclose a vegetable cutter that overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A protective detachable double-belt feeding vegetable cutter includes a chassis, on which a horizontal conveying mechanism and an inclined pressing mechanism are provided, the inclined pressing mechanism being arranged opposite to the horizontal conveying mechanism; wherein, a conveying channel for accommodating food is formed between the horizontal conveying mechanism and the inclined pressing mechanism;

[0008] The inclined pressing mechanism is inclined relative to the transverse conveying mechanism, so that the conveying channel gradually narrows along the discharge direction, so as to gradually compress the food during the conveying process.

[0009] The transverse conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt, and the inclined pressing mechanism includes a second conveyor belt;

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model claims protection for a protective detachable double-belt feeding vegetable cutter, which mainly consists of a chassis 1, a horizontal conveying mechanism 2, an inclined pressing mechanism 3, protective components, and a cutting box 10. The chassis 1 serves as the support and installation foundation for the entire vegetable cutter, bearing all the components.

[0039] The machine includes a transverse conveying mechanism 2 and an inclined pressing mechanism 3 mounted on the casing 1. These two mechanisms are positioned opposite each other, forming a conveying channel for accommodating food. The inclined pressing mechanism 3 is inclined relative to the transverse conveying mechanism 2, causing the conveying channel to gradually narrow along the discharge direction. As food enters the conveying channel, it is gradually compressed during the conveying process, facilitating subsequent cutting operations. The vegetable cutter also includes a cutting box 10, which is connected to the discharge end of the casing 1. This means the end of the gradually narrowing conveying channel is connected to the vegetable cutter, allowing the vegetables to be fed into the cutting box 10 under compressed conditions for cutting. A cutting blade 11 is installed inside the cutting box 10, connected to a second motor that drives the blade 11 to rotate. When food is conveyed to the cutting box 10 through the conveying channel, the rotating blade 11 cuts the food.

[0040] The transverse conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor belt 201, and the inclined pressing mechanism 3 includes a second conveyor belt 301. The first conveyor belt 201 and the second conveyor belt 301 are key components for realizing food conveying. They work together to convey food from the inlet end to the outlet end.

[0041] One of the advancements of this invention lies in the provision of protective components at the feed ends of the first conveyor belt 201 and the second conveyor belt 301. These protective components consist of two parts. One part is a cover 4 that covers the first conveyor belt 201 and is fixed to the housing 1 with screws. This cover 4 prevents the operator's limbs from being accidentally caught in the transmission components of the first conveyor belt 201. The other part is a baffle assembly 5 fixedly disposed on the side of the second conveyor belt 301, which also prevents the operator's limbs from being accidentally caught in the transmission components of the second conveyor belt 301.

[0042] Both the transverse conveying mechanism 2 and the inclined pressing mechanism 3 are equipped with tensioning components 6 for tensioning the first conveyor belt 201 and the second conveyor belt 301, respectively. The specific structure of the tensioning component 6 is as follows: it includes a fixing frame 601, from which... Figure 4 As can be seen, the first conveyor belt 201 and the second conveyor belt 301 have side plates on both sides. The two ends of the fixing frame 601 are fixed to the side plates, and a fixing pin 602 is connected to the fixing frame 601. The adjusting frame 603 can slide on the fixing pin 602. A spring 604 is sleeved on the fixing pin 602 and is in a compressed state. The spring 604 applies a force to the adjusting frame 603, causing it to move away from the fixing frame 601. A pressure roller 605 is rotatably connected to the end of the adjusting frame 603 away from the fixing frame 601. The pressure roller 605 abuts against the inner surface of the first conveyor belt 201 or the second conveyor belt 301. Through the elastic force of the spring 604, the pressure roller 605 can apply pressure to the conveyor belt, thereby ensuring the tension of the conveyor belt and ensuring the stability of the conveying process.

[0043] The baffle assembly 5 is fixed to the transverse conveyor mechanism 2 by screws. After removing the screws, the baffle assembly 5 can be removed, allowing replacement of the first conveyor belt 201. The tensioning assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the side plates on both sides of the first conveyor belt 201 and the second conveyor belt 301. The inner side of the tensioning assembly 6 is connected to a ball screw, and the corresponding inner side plate has positioning holes. When rotated to… Figure 8 When the tensioning assembly 6 is in the positioning state, the glass ball screw is embedded in the positioning hole, thereby positioning the tensioning assembly 6. At this time, the pressure roller 605 of the tensioning assembly 6 presses against the first conveyor belt 201. When the tensioning assembly 6 is rotated to disengage the glass ball screw from the positioning hole, the pressure roller 605 no longer presses against the first conveyor belt 201, which helps to disassemble the first conveyor belt 201.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 7As shown, the fixed frame 601 is provided with a positioning bead 606, and the adjusting frame 603 is provided with a corresponding slot 607, in which the positioning bead 606 is placed; the fixed frame 601 is also connected with a limit screw 608, and the adjusting frame 603 is provided with a corresponding longitudinal slot 609, in which the limit screw 608 is located; the above settings are all to enable the lifting and lowering of the adjusting frame 603 to have a guiding and positioning function, thereby improving the stability of operation.

[0045] Both the transverse conveying mechanism 2 and the inclined pressing mechanism 3 are equipped with transmission mechanisms. The transmission mechanism includes a motor 7 fixedly mounted inside the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to a drive roller 8, and it also includes a driven roller 9. A first conveyor belt 201 or a second conveyor belt 301 is wound around and connected to the corresponding drive roller 8 and driven roller 9. When the motor 7 starts, the drive roller 8 rotates under the motor's drive, which in turn drives the driven roller 9 to rotate via the conveyor belt, achieving the cyclic operation of the conveyor belt and completing the food conveying process.

[0046] It also includes an outer clamping plate 15, an inclined pressing mechanism 3 and a cover 4 which are fixed on the outer clamping plate 15. An inner clamping plate 16 is correspondingly provided inside the housing 1, and the motor 7 of the transmission mechanism in the inclined pressing mechanism 3 is fixed on the inner clamping plate 16.

[0047] like Figure 9 as well as Figure 10As shown, the chassis 1 has a clearance groove 101; the outer clamping plate 15 is disposed in the outer area of ​​the clearance groove 101, and the inner clamping plate 16 is disposed in the inner area of ​​the clearance groove 101; an intermediate plate 17 is disposed between the outer clamping plate 15 and the inner clamping plate 16, and the intermediate plate 17 is slidably disposed in the clearance groove 101. The tilting pressing mechanism 3 is sway-mounted on the housing 1 to accommodate the clamping of ingredients. This swaying mechanism has been disclosed in the applicant's previous patent CN221736292U, a food processing machine, and its specific structure and function are not detailed here. In this application, the motor shaft of the tilting pressing mechanism 3 passes sequentially from the inside to the outside through the inner clamping plate 16, the middle plate 17, and the outer clamping plate 15, and connects to the drive roller 8. The diameter of the motor shaft is smaller than the diameter of the corresponding openings in the inner clamping plate 16, the middle plate 17, and the outer clamping plate 15, thus not affecting the motor's rotation. During the swaying process of the tilting pressing mechanism 3, the middle plate 17 corresponds to the clearance groove 101. During installation, the inner clamping plate 16, the middle plate 17, and the outer clamping plate 15 are fixed together with screws. In the design, the thickness of the middle plate 17 is usually slightly greater than the depth of the clearance groove 101 (that is, the thickness of the middle plate 17 is greater than the thickness of the wall of the chassis 1 to which it is fixed). So when the inner clamping plate 16, the outer clamping plate 15, and the middle plate 17 are locked, the middle plate 17 forms a certain thickness in the middle, so that the inner clamping plate 16 and the outer clamping plate 15 will not clamp the chassis 1 too tightly, thus affecting the swing of the tilting pressing mechanism 3. The outer clamping plate 15 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1 through the rotating shaft 18, so that the tilting pressing mechanism 3 can realize the swinging action.

[0048] A support roller 12 is provided near the cutting box 10 in the transverse conveyor mechanism 2. The support roller 12 supports the conveyor belt, ensuring that food enters the cutting box 10 smoothly. In addition, the support roller 12 helps the end of the first conveyor belt 201 to approach the second conveyor belt 301, thereby enhancing the clamping effect on the food. A mounting frame 13 is provided on the baffle assembly 5. The mounting frame 13 has a threaded hole 1301 at the position corresponding to the support roller 12. Fasteners pass through the threaded hole 1301 and abut against the support roller 12. By adjusting the tightness of the fasteners, the tightness of the support roller 12 can be adjusted to adapt to different working requirements. In this embodiment, the fasteners are screws. A mounting plate 14 is provided inside the housing 1 at the connection point of the support roller 12. The mounting plate 14 provides a stable mounting base for the support roller 12 to enhance its stability.

[0049] This protective, detachable dual-belt feeding vegetable cutter significantly improves safety by incorporating protective components, preventing operator limbs or foreign objects from being caught in the conveyor mechanism and reducing the risk of accidents. The narrowing of the conveyor channel along the discharge direction gradually compresses the food during transport, ensuring stability and cutting effectiveness. Furthermore, the tensioning component 6 maintains appropriate belt tension, extending belt life and ensuring efficient delivery. This improvement primarily addresses the lack of convenient conveyor belt detachment functionality in existing models and the issue of belt stretching and loosening after prolonged use.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
