Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen knife technology, and in particular to a bread cutter for adjusting the thickness of slices. Background Technology
[0002] Bread, as an everyday food, often needs to be sliced for consumption or processing. To facilitate quick and easy bread cutting, various bread cutters are commonly available on the market. Traditional bread cutters usually consist of a handle and a blade fixed to it. In order to control the thickness of the bread slice, some cutters have a fixed baffle or limiting structure on the handle. This fixed limiting structure determines that the bread slice can only be cut into a single preset thickness.
[0003] However, this existing technology, which relies on a fixed baffle, has significant drawbacks. Because the baffle position is not adjustable, users cannot flexibly change the cutting thickness of the bread slices according to actual needs (such as the specific thickness required for making sandwiches, or different thicknesses suitable for different types of bread). More importantly, even if users expect to cut a fixed thickness, in actual operation, due to the lack of a precise thickness adjustment and positioning mechanism, relying solely on the user to manually control the angle and depth between the blade and the bread can easily lead to uneven and inconsistent bread slice thicknesses, affecting the appearance and subsequent processing. This lack of thickness control and inaccuracy is a common technical problem faced by existing bread cutters.
[0004] Therefore, the market urgently needs a bread cutter for adjusting slice thickness to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as uniform bread slice thickness and difficulty in guaranteeing cutting accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a bread cutter for adjusting the slice thickness, aiming to solve the problem that the bread cutter in the prior art cannot flexibly adjust the cutting thickness and is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the cutting thickness due to the lack of an adjustable precision limiting structure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a bread cutter for adjusting slice thickness, comprising a handle body, a thickness limiting plate, and a blade. The handle body is provided with an adjusting groove structure and a handle structure. A large threaded insert hole is provided in the center of the groove of the adjusting groove structure. Sliding guide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove of the adjusting groove structure. An insert assembly is adapted to fit in the large threaded insert hole. The thickness limiting plate is threadedly connected to the output end of the insert assembly, and the guide posts on both sides of the thickness limiting plate are slidably engaged in the two sliding guide rails respectively. The two ends of the blade are respectively fixed to the two ends of the adjusting groove structure by screws.
[0007] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of a bread cutter for adjusting slice thickness is that it solves the problem of existing bread cutters lacking an adjustable precision limiting structure, which makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the cutting thickness and ensure the uniformity of the cutting thickness; mainly reflected in:
[0008] 1. This utility model uses a rotating adjusting screw to drive the thickness limiting piece to move precisely along the sliding guide rails on both sides, thereby achieving the adjustment of the cutting thickness within the range of 1-20mm, thus solving the problem that traditional bread cutters cannot flexibly adapt to different thickness requirements.
[0009] 2. This utility model ensures zero displacement of the limiting piece during the cutting process by utilizing the elastic locking effect of the snap ring, thus completely eliminating the uneven thickness of the bread slices caused by the wobbling of the limiting piece.
[0010] 3. This utility model achieves visualized and precise positioning of the cutting thickness by adjusting the linkage calibration between the size indicator marks set on the side of the groove and the edge of the thickness limiting piece, effectively overcoming the problem of random thickness in manual cutting.
[0011] Furthermore, the insert assembly includes a large thread insert, an adjusting screw, and a retaining ring. The large thread insert is adapted to fit into the hole of the large thread insert. The adjusting screw is threaded through the large thread insert and is rotatably connected to the limiting hole in the middle of the thickness limiting plate. The retaining ring is engaged with the adjusting screw and is located in the limiting hole of the thickness limiting plate.
[0012] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of the large thread insert are that it makes an interference fit with the large thread insert hole of the tool handle body, thereby eliminating the positioning deviation caused by the deformation of the base body when the screw rotates; the beneficial effects of the adjusting screw are that it makes a threaded fit with the large thread insert and a rotational connection with the central limiting hole, so that when the adjusting screw rotates, it pushes the limiting piece to move along the guide rail, thereby solving the problem of low positioning accuracy caused by manually pushing the limiting piece directly; the beneficial effects of the snap ring are that it provides radial locking constraint in the limiting hole, locking the axial degree of freedom of the adjusting screw.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting hole is a tapered hole, the large diameter of the tapered hole is located on the side away from the large thread insert, and the retaining spring is located inside the tapered hole.
[0014] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the large diameter of the tapered hole being oriented away from the side of the large thread insert is to provide a space for the radial elastic expansion of the snap ring, which causes the outer edge of the snap ring to form a surface contact and press against the wall of the tapered hole.
[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the adjusting groove structure are provided with small threaded insert holes, and small threaded inserts are adapted in the small threaded insert holes. The two ends of the blade are respectively fixed to the small threaded inserts by screws.
[0016] Furthermore, the side of the adjustment groove structure near the knife handle structure is provided with several size indicator marks, which are used to align and adjust the position of the thickness limiting piece to control the cutting thickness of the bread slice.
[0017] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the size indicator marks is to provide an intuitive and visible thickness adjustment reference scale, realize the precise positioning of the thickness limit piece, and effectively solve the problem of traditional bread cutters relying on experience to estimate the cutting thickness.
[0018] Furthermore, the cutting edge of the blade is provided with wavy teeth.
[0019] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of wavy teeth is to form a continuous undulating cutting edge line, which significantly reduces the resistance when cutting bread and effectively solves the problem of bread sticking when cutting with traditional flat blades.
[0020] Furthermore, the outer end of the knife handle structure is provided with a lanyard hole.
[0021] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the lanyard hole is to provide a reliable hanging point, realize the convenient storage function of bread cutter, and effectively solve the safety hazards of traditional bread knives being easily lost or causing injury when placed randomly.
[0022] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] like Figs. 1-2As shown, a bread cutter for adjusting slice thickness includes a handle body 1, a thickness limiting piece 2, and a blade 3. The handle body 1 is provided with an adjustment groove structure 11 and a handle structure 12. A large threaded insert hole 111 is provided in the center of the groove of the adjustment groove structure 11. Sliding guide rails 112 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove of the adjustment groove structure 11. An insert assembly 4 is adapted in the large threaded insert hole 111. The thickness limiting piece 2 is threadedly connected to the output end of the insert assembly 4, and the guide posts 21 on both sides of the thickness limiting piece 2 are slidably engaged in the two sliding guide rails 112 respectively. The two ends of the blade 3 are fixed to the two ends of the adjustment groove structure 11 by screws.
[0027] The insert assembly 4 includes a large thread insert 41, an adjusting screw 42, and a retaining ring 43. The large thread insert 41 is adapted to fit into the large thread insert hole 111. The adjusting screw 42 is threaded through the large thread insert 41 and is rotatably connected to the limiting hole 22 in the middle of the thickness limiting piece 2. The retaining ring 43 is engaged with the adjusting screw 42 and is located in the limiting hole 22 of the thickness limiting piece 2.
[0028] The limiting hole 22 is a tapered hole, with the large diameter of the tapered hole located on the side away from the large threaded insert 41, and the retaining ring 43 located inside the tapered hole.
[0029] The adjusting groove structure 11 has small threaded insert holes 113 at both ends, and small threaded inserts 114 are adapted in the small threaded insert holes 113. The two ends of the blade 3 are respectively fixed to the small threaded inserts 114 by screws.
[0030] The adjustment groove structure 11 has several size indicator marks 115 on the side near the knife handle structure 12. The size indicator marks 115 are used to align and adjust the position of the thickness limiting piece 2 to control the cutting thickness of the bread slice.
[0031] The blade 3 has a wavy tooth 31 on its cutting edge.
[0032] The outer end of the handle structure 12 is provided with a rope hanging hole 121.
[0033] In summary, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] When the user needs to adjust the thickness of the bread slice, the adjusting screw 42 in the rotating insert assembly 4 is rotated. Since the adjusting screw 42 is threadedly engaged with the large thread insert 41, and the adjusting screw 42 is rotatably connected in the limiting hole 22 of the thickness limiting piece 2 through the retaining spring 43, rotating the adjusting screw 42 will drive the thickness limiting piece 2 to translate along the sliding guide rails 112 on both sides of the adjusting groove structure 11. The guide posts 21 on both sides of the thickness limiting piece 2 slide in the sliding guide rails 112 to ensure that the movement trajectory is accurate and without deviation. During the adjustment process, the user can accurately locate the required cutting thickness (range of 1-20mm) by observing the alignment position of the edge of the thickness limiting piece 2 with the size indicator marks 115 on the side of the adjusting groove structure 11. The retaining spring 43 generates radial elastic constraint in the conical limiting hole 22, locking the axial degree of freedom of the adjusting screw 42 and preventing the thickness limiting piece 2 from displacing during cutting.
[0035] When cutting bread, the user holds the handle structure 12, places the blade 3 on the bread surface, and at the same time makes the lower end face of the thickness limiting piece 2 fit against the top of the bread. When pressing down the handle body 1, the thickness limiting piece 2 acts as a rigid reference surface to limit the cutting depth, ensuring that the wavy teeth 31 of the blade 3 cut the bread with a constant thickness. After cutting, the bread can be hung and stored through the hanging rope hole 121 at the outer end of the handle structure 12.
[0036] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Various modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to this utility model without departing from the essence and protection scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
