[0002] A food slicer is a kitchen tool that can quickly process food into shreds or slices. It cuts food by manually pushing it along the blade, solving the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in manual cutting. With its high efficiency and convenience, it has become a common piece of equipment in many homes and professional kitchens.

[0003] Existing food shredders typically have a stainless steel shredding plate with multiple raised circular holes on its surface. When the bottom of the food slides through these holes, it is shredded. The shreds then slide out from the bottom of the stainless steel shredding plate. However, if different thicknesses of shreds are needed, the stainless steel shredding plate must be disassembled and replaced with one that has the required number of circular holes. This disassembly and installation process is cumbersome and can affect the efficiency of food preparation when handling multiple ingredients. Furthermore, additional space is required to store the various stainless steel shredding plates. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The adjustable slicing and cutting tool involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-9This utility model provides an adjustable slicing and shredding tool, including a main body 1, a food pressing mechanism 2, a blade holder assembly 3 installed in the middle of the main body 1, an adjustment assembly 4 installed in the middle of the back of the main body 1, the blade holder assembly 3 including a rotating blade holder 301, a cylindrical block 303 fixedly connected to the front of the rotating blade holder 301, blade assemblies 302 installed on the top, bottom and left side of the rotating blade holder 301, and a cylindrical rod 304 fixedly connected to the back of the rotating blade holder 301. The back of the column 304 is fixedly connected to a polygonal rib 305. A spring 306 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the polygonal rib 305. An integrally formed mounting tube 11 is provided in the middle of the back of the vegetable cutter body 1. An integrally formed limiting protrusion 109 is provided on the outer side of the mounting tube 11. The adjustment component 4 includes an adjustment knob 401 movably sleeved on the outer side of the mounting tube 11. A polygonal rib hole 406 is opened in the middle of the adjustment knob 401. A limiting groove 405 is opened around the inner wall of the adjustment knob 401.

[0027] In this embodiment, the polygonal rib 305 and the polygonal hole 406 are adapted to each other. The spring 306 exerts a backward thrust on the adjusting knob 401, causing the limiting protrusion 109 to embed into the inner side of the limiting groove 405, thereby preventing the adjusting assembly 4 from rotating, and consequently preventing the blade holder assembly 3 from rotating. When it is necessary to adjust the thickness of the shredded material, press the adjusting knob 401 forward, causing the limiting protrusion 109 to move inward toward the adjusting knob 401 and separate from the limiting groove 405. Then the adjusting knob 401 can be rotated. The cooperation between the polygonal hole 406 and the polygonal rib 305... The rotating blade holder 301 rotates to rotate the required blade assembly 302 to the top. The type of blade assembly 302 can be determined by the markings "coarse", "medium", and "fine" on the surface of the knob cover 402. After adjustment, the adjustment knob 401 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 306, the adjustment knob 401 moves to the back, so that the limiting protrusion 109 is re-embedded into the inner side of the limiting groove 405, fixing the adjustment assembly 4. Different coarse and fine cutting modes can be quickly changed through simple adjustment, saving time, effort and storage space for changing tools, making it highly practical.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a protective cover 104 is movably connected to the middle of the bottom of the vegetable cutter body 1, and an integrally formed snap-fit ​​spring 105 is provided on the right side of the protective cover 104. A fixing plate 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vegetable cutter body 1 at the position on the right side of the protective cover 104.

[0029] The protective cover 104 can protect the bottom of the tool holder assembly 3, preventing the blade assembly 302 at the bottom of the tool holder assembly 3 from bumping into the outside, and preventing the blade body 322 at the bottom from accidentally injuring the human body.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, an integrally formed handle frame 101 is provided on the right side of the vegetable cutter body 1, and an anti-slip pad 102 is installed on the left side of the bottom of the vegetable cutter body 1.

[0031] When in use, the handle frame 101 makes it easy to hold, and the anti-slip pad 102 contacts the table surface. The anti-slip pad 102 can increase the friction with the contact surface and reduce the possibility of slipping.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a horizontal blade 106 is fixedly connected to the left side of the middle of the vegetable cutter body 1, a circular hole 107 is opened in the middle of the front of the vegetable cutter body 1, and a mounting groove 108 is opened on the back of the bottom of the vegetable cutter body 1.

[0033] After the blade body 322 cuts the bottom of the food into multiple grooves, the food continues to slide to the left through the food pressing mechanism 2. The horizontal blade 106 can cut the food horizontally, and the food is finally cut into strips. When the right side of the rotating blade holder 301 rotates to the top, the food is cut only by the horizontal blade 106, thus slicing the food.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the rotary tool holder 301 has T-shaped grooves 311 on its top, bottom and left side, and the blade assembly 302 includes a T-shaped slide bar 321 slidably connected to the T-shaped grooves 311, and the blade body 322 is fixedly connected to the surface of the T-shaped slide bar 321.

[0035] The blade bodies 322 of the blade assemblies 302 in different positions have different spacing, so that the ingredients can be cut into different thicknesses as needed. When the blade assembly 302 needs to be replaced, the screw 403 is removed from the inside of the threaded groove 308 using an auxiliary tool. Then the adjustment assembly 4 can be removed. Then the blade holder assembly 3 can be removed from the middle of the main body 1 of the vegetable cutter. The blade assembly 302 can be disassembled by sliding the T-shaped slide bar 321 along the T-shaped slide groove 311.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment knob 401 has anti-slip grooves 411 around its outer perimeter, and a knob back cover 402 is attached to the back of the adjustment knob 401 by a snap fastener.

[0037] The anti-slip groove 411 can increase the friction between the adjustment knob 401 and the fingers. The surface of the knob back cover 402 is marked with the words "coarse", "medium", "fine" and "blade". The type of the blade body 322 located above can be identified by the words.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a screw 403 is provided in the middle of the back of the adjustment knob 401, and a washer 404 is provided between the screw 403 and the adjustment knob 401. A threaded groove 308 is provided in the middle of the back of the polygonal rib 305, and the threaded groove 308 is threadedly connected to the screw 403.

[0039] The washer 404 can be stably fixed between the nut of the screw 403 and the polygonal rib 305 by the screw 403, thereby preventing the adjustment knob 401 from falling off the back of the polygonal rib 305.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the thickness of the shreds, press the adjustment knob 401 forward, so that the limiting protrusion 109 moves inward to the inside of the adjustment knob 401 and separates from the limiting groove 405. Then the adjustment knob 401 can be rotated. Through the cooperation of the polygonal hole 406 and the polygonal rib 305, the rotating blade holder 301 is rotated, which in turn rotates the required blade assembly 302 to the top. The type of blade assembly 302 can be judged by the "coarse", "medium" and "fine" markings on the surface of the knob back cover 402. After adjustment, release the adjustment knob 401. Under the elastic force of the spring 306, the adjustment knob 401 moves to the back, so that the limiting protrusion 109 is re-embedded in the inside of the limiting groove 405, fixing the adjustment assembly 4. Different cutting modes with different thicknesses can be quickly completed through simple adjustment, saving time, effort and storage space for changing tools, and making it highly practical.
