Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo shoot processing technology, specifically to a lightweight bamboo shoot shredder. Background Technology

[0002] Bamboo shoots are the edible, tender, and robust buds of perennial evergreen woody plants belonging to the Bambusoideae subfamily of the Poaceae family. A staple of Jiangnan cuisine, bamboo was once so prized that there was a saying: "One cannot live without bamboo, nor can one eat without bamboo shoots." They typically grow in front of and behind houses, along rivers and streams, on hillsides and in fields, demonstrating strong adaptability. There are 550 species in 30 genera worldwide. Native to China, they are widely distributed, abundant in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions.

[0003] Bamboo shoots can be further processed into products, solving the problem of poor preservation. Bamboo shoots can be cut into shreds, saving consumers the trouble of shredding them and improving product competitiveness. Traditionally, bamboo shoots are shredded using fully automatic shredders. These machines are relatively large, requiring motors and rotating blades, as well as power supply, making them less lightweight, flexible, and convenient to use. For small-batch shredding needs, this increases production costs. Furthermore, fully automatic shredders rely on motors to drive rotating blades, and the shredding speed is affected by the motor speed, resulting in a relatively slow shredding rate. Further improvements are possible. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lightweight bamboo shoot shredder, which is lightweight and highly efficient, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned advantages of being lightweight and highly efficient, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A lightweight bamboo shoot shredder includes a support platform and an installation cylinder. The support platform has a shredding opening on its surface, and a grid knife is fixedly installed inside the shredding opening. An installation cylinder is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support platform outside the shredding opening. A guide block is installed inside the installation cylinder, and a side guide rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide block. The side guide rod passes through the installation cylinder and is slidably connected to it. An installation frame is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support platform behind the installation cylinder. A vertical guide rod is slidably connected through the top surface of the installation frame, and a pressure plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the vertical guide rod. A top plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vertical guide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide blocks are distributed in four groups in a circumferential pattern at equal angles along the central axis of the mounting cylinder, and the inner surface of the guide blocks is inclined. The other end of the side guide rod is fixedly connected to an end plate, and a first spring is sleeved between the end plate and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder on the outside of the side guide rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a second spring is sleeved between the top plate and the top surface of the mounting bracket, located outside the vertical guide rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the end plate and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate and the top surface of the mounting bracket, respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressure plate is located directly above the slicing opening.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a lightweight bamboo shoot shredder, which has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) This utility model is equipped with a slicing opening and a grid knife. The top surface of the grid knife has a blade. When slicing bamboo shoots, the small end of the bamboo shoot can be inserted downward into the guide block. Then, press the top plate, the top plate pushes the pressure plate down, and pushes the bamboo shoot down. After the bamboo shoot is cut by the grid knife, it directly forms bamboo shoot shreds, which can complete the rapid slicing. This device does not require an additional power supply, is small in size, flexible and convenient to use, and can complete the rapid slicing by quickly pressing the top plate, which makes the slicing efficiency higher.

[0017] (2) This utility model is equipped with a guide block that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The guide block is distributed in a circular shape to match the contour of the bamboo shoot with a large diameter at the root and a small diameter at the head. When the bamboo shoot is cut, the bamboo shoot is pressed down by the pressure plate and moves downward, thereby pushing the guide block to move outward. The first spring extends to guide the up and down movement of the bamboo shoot. After the bamboo shoot is shredded, the first spring rebounds and pulls the guide block to reset, so that the shredding operation can be repeated. The arrangement of the guide block avoids the bamboo shoot from tilting in the installation cylinder, improves the stability of shredding, and further improves the work efficiency.

[0025] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a lightweight bamboo shoot shredder is provided.

[0027] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to them. Figure 1 and Figure 4 A lightweight bamboo shoot shredder according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support platform 1 and an mounting cylinder 2. The support platform 1 is injection molded from high-strength engineering plastic (ABS), and has a shredding opening 7 on its surface. The size of the shredding opening 7 is designed to be 120mm×120mm, which is larger than the maximum diameter of conventional bamboo shoots (100mm), ensuring that the bamboo shoots can be smoothly inserted. A grid blade 8 is fixedly installed inside the shredding opening 7 by bolts. The grid blade 8 is made of 420 stainless steel, and after quenching treatment, its hardness reaches HRC55-58. The blade spacing is set to 3mm×3mm according to the shredding requirements. The blade edge is precision ground, and the roughness Ra≤0.8μm ensures smooth shredding. The mounting cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support platform 1 outside the shredding opening 7 by a hot-melt process. The mounting cylinder 2 is injection molded from polyoxymethylene (POM) material, and four sets of guide blocks 3 are evenly installed on its inner side.

[0028] The bottom surface of guide block 3 slides against the top surface of support platform 1, employing a low friction coefficient design (friction coefficient ≤ 0.15). Side guide rods 4 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of guide block 3. These side guide rods 4 are made of 8mm diameter glass fiber reinforced nylon rods, arranged in four groups at 90° intervals. The side guide rods 4 penetrate the mounting cylinder 2 and slide within the guide holes on the mounting cylinder 2. The inner wall of the guide holes is polished, and the clearance is controlled at 0.1-0.2mm, guiding the movement of guide block 3. A mounting bracket 9 is fixedly installed behind the mounting cylinder 2 on the top surface of support platform 1 using screws. The mounting bracket 9 has an L-shaped structure, is made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and a vertical guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the top surface of the mounting bracket 9. The vertical guide rod 12 has a diameter of 10mm, an anodized surface, and a pressure plate 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the vertical guide rod 12 via threads. A 5mm thick silicone anti-slip pad is adhered to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 10. A top plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vertical guide rod 12 using nuts. The top edge of the mesh blade 8 is arranged at a 45° angle, and the blade sharpness test shows that it can easily cut copper foil with a thickness of 0.1mm.

[0029] When slicing bamboo shoots, insert the smaller end of the shoot downwards between the guide blocks 3. Then, press the top plate 11. The top plate 11 pushes the pressure plate 10 downwards, pushing the bamboo shoot downwards. After being cut by the grid blade 8, the bamboo shoot is directly formed into shreds, thus completing the rapid slicing process. This device requires no additional power supply, has an overall size of only 300mm×250mm×400mm, and weighs 1.8kg. It is compact, flexible, and convenient to use. Tests have shown that a single person can slice 15-30 shreds per minute, which is more than 6 times more efficient than traditional manual slicing.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3Four groups of guide blocks 3 are distributed in a circular pattern along the central axis of the mounting cylinder 2 at equal angles. The inner surface of each group of guide blocks 3 is inclined at an angle of 15°. The inner surface of the guide blocks 3 is mirror-polished (roughness Ra≤0.4μm). The other end of the side guide rod 4 is fixedly connected to an end plate 6 by screws. The end plate 6 is made of 3mm thick aluminum alloy plate, and a first spring 5 is sleeved between the end plate 6 and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 2 on the outside of the side guide rod 4. The first spring 5 is made of spring steel wire with a diameter of 1.5mm, a free length of 80mm, and an elastic coefficient of 20N / m. This utility model is equipped with guide blocks 3 that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The guide blocks 3 are distributed in a circular pattern to match the contour of the bamboo shoot with a large diameter at the root and a small diameter at the head (the root diameter is about 80mm and the head diameter is about 40mm). When cutting bamboo shoots, the shoots are pressed downwards by the pressure plate 10 and move downwards, thereby pushing the guide block 3 outwards. The first spring 5 extends, guiding the up-and-down movement of the shoot. Testing shows that the guide block 3 can move outwards a maximum of 15mm, accommodating bamboo shoots of varying thicknesses. After the shoot is shredded, the first spring 5 rebounds, pulling the guide block 3 back to its original position. The reset time is ≤0.5 seconds, allowing the shredding operation to resume. The arrangement of the guide block 3 ensures that the vertical deviation of the bamboo shoot in the mounting cylinder 2 is ≤5°, preventing the shoot from tilting in the cylinder 2, improving the stability of the shredding process, and further increasing work efficiency.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A second spring 13 is sleeved between the top plate 11 and the top surface of the mounting bracket 9, located outside the vertical guide rod 12. The second spring 13 is made of spring steel wire with a diameter of 2mm, a free length of 120mm, and an elastic modulus of 30N / m. The second spring 13 is compressed during shredding, with a maximum compression of 80mm. After shredding, the operator releases the top plate 11, and the second spring 13 extends to push the top plate 11 and the pressure plate 10 to automatically reset at a reset speed of 1.2m / s, reducing operator fatigue.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first spring 5 is fixedly connected to the end plate 6 and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 2 by hooks at both ends. The hooks are made of stainless steel with a tensile strength of ≥500N, which improves the stability of the connection. It has not fallen off after 10,000 tensile tests.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two ends of the second spring 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 11 and the top surface of the mounting bracket 9 by welding, respectively. The welding point strength is ≥30N, which improves the stability of the connection and ensures that it will not fall off during long-term use.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The mounting bracket 9 has a clearance hole 14 with a diameter of 50mm at the position corresponding to the end plate 6. The edge of the clearance hole is rounded to facilitate the movement of the end plate 6 and avoid obstructing the end plate 6. The gap between the end plate 6 and the clearance hole is ≤2mm when the end plate 6 moves to ensure smooth movement.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pressure plate 10 is located directly above the shredding opening 7 with a deviation of ≤1mm. When pressing down, it is guided by the vertical guide rod 12 to ensure that the pressure plate 10 is perpendicular to the grid knife 8, thereby improving the stability of pressing down. During the pressing process, the verticality deviation of the pressure plate 10 is ≤0.5°.

[0036] Working principle: When slicing bamboo shoots, the fresh bamboo shoots are first peeled, keeping the shoot intact. The small end (tip) of the shoot is then aligned with the center of the mounting cylinder 2 and inserted between the four sets of guide blocks 3. At this time, the guide blocks 3 are pushed outward due to the larger diameter of the shoot root, the first spring 5 is stretched, and the inner inclined surface of the guide block 3 fits against the surface of the shoot, achieving automatic centering and ensuring that the shoot is perpendicular to the grid blade 8.

[0037] Then, press the top plate 11 with your palm, or directly use a hammer to strike the top plate 11, which is more effortless. The top plate 11 drives the vertical guide rod 12 and the pressure plate 10 to move downwards. The silicone anti-slip pad on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 10 contacts the large end (root) of the bamboo shoot and applies pressure, pushing the bamboo shoot downwards. When the bamboo shoot passes through the grid knife 8, it is cut into uniform bamboo shoot shreds by the blade of the grid knife 8. The bamboo shoot shreds fall from the shredding opening 7 and are collected.

[0038] During the pressing process, the second spring 13 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the bamboo shoot has completely passed through the grid knife 8, the palm is released, and the second spring 13 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the top plate 11, the vertical guide rod 12, and the pressure plate 10 to return to their original position. At the same time, the first spring 5 contracts, pulling the end plate 6 and the side guide rod 4, causing the guide block 3 to move inward and return to its original position, waiting for the next shredding operation.

[0039] This device utilizes the tapered contour of the bamboo shoot itself, in conjunction with the inclined surface of guide block 3, to achieve automatic centering and guidance. A spring-reset mechanism enables rapid and continuous operation. Requiring no electricity, it only requires manual pressing to complete the shredding process. Its simple and compact structure makes it suitable for home kitchens, small canteens, and other similar settings. The design of guide block 3 and the spring effectively solves the problems of uneven bamboo shoot thickness and tendency to skew, ensuring uniform and stable shredding, greatly improving shredding efficiency and product quality.
