Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preparation equipment technology, and in particular to a sturdy dicing blade. Background Technology

[0002] A salad machine is an automated electrical appliance that can cut vegetables and fruits to make salads. It has multiple interchangeable cutting modules that can handle common salad ingredients such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. It typically supports shredding, slicing, dicing, and other cutting methods.

[0003] Existing salad machines require a dicing tube to cut square-shaped ingredients into cubes. This dicing tube is equipped with a rotating drum that, with each rotation, forces a slice of food downwards through the dicing blade holder. Because the blade holder consists of crisscrossing mesh blades, the sliced ​​food is diced into square cubes as it passes through. To adjust the size of the cubes, the blade holder is often detachably mounted to the dicing tube base, allowing for different cube sizes to be prepared by changing the blade holder. However, most existing connections use simple clip-on and slotted joints. As the salad machine cuts, food cubes accumulate inside the dicing tube. If not removed promptly, the food will push upwards against the blade holder and overflow from the joint between the blade holder and the dicing tube base, increasing the drum's resistance and potentially damaging the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a robust dicing blade to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robust dicing blade holder, which improves the connection structure between the dicing blade holder and the dicing blade holder base, increases its robustness, and prevents equipment damage.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a robust dicing blade holder, comprising a dicing blade holder base and a dicing blade holder. The dicing blade holder is detachably mounted on the top opening of the dicing blade holder base. A front insertion port is provided on the front end plate of the dicing blade holder base, and a rear slot is provided on the inner side wall of the rear end plate of the dicing blade holder base. A rear insertion hole is provided at the bottom of the rear slot. A front plug is provided at the front end of the frame of the dicing blade holder, which can be inserted into the front insertion port. A latch is provided at the rear end of the frame of the dicing blade holder, and a latch head is provided at the bottom of the latch. The latch can be inserted into the rear slot, and the latch head can be inserted into the rear insertion hole. A leak-proof structure is provided at the joint between the dicing blade holder base and the dicing blade holder.

[0008] Furthermore, the anti-leakage structure includes a retaining edge and a retaining edge. The retaining edge is disposed on the contour of the top opening of the dicing knife cylinder seat, and the retaining edge is disposed on the receiving contour of the bottom of the dicing knife holder frame. The thickness of the retaining edge and the retaining edge are each half the wall thickness of the dicing knife cylinder seat, and they are disposed overlappingly.

[0009] Furthermore, the retaining edge includes a side retaining edge and an end retaining edge. The side retaining edge is integrally disposed on the long side of the top opening of the dicing knife barrel seat, and the end retaining edge is disposed on both sides of the rear end plate of the top opening of the dicing knife barrel seat. The retaining flange includes a side retaining flange and an end retaining flange. The side retaining edge can be fastened to the outside of the side retaining flange, and the end retaining flange can be fastened to the outside of the end retaining edge.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an upper locking protrusion and a lower locking protrusion. The upper locking protrusion is disposed on the top of the end stop edge and faces outward, while the lower locking protrusion is disposed on the bottom of the end stop edge and faces inward. The upper locking protrusion can be engaged with the lower locking protrusion below it.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper and lower edges of the lower protrusion are rounded.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a screw, with a threaded hole centrally located on the clip head, the screw passing through the rear insertion hole and threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the screw is a fine-pitch Phillips head countersunk screw, and a countersunk hole is provided at the outer end of the rear insertion hole, into which the screw nut enters.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's robust dicing blade barrel are:

[0015] This utility model discloses a robust dicing blade barrel. The front end of the dicing blade holder is inserted into a front insertion port, and the rear end is secured to a rear insertion hole, achieving a front-insertion and rear-lock connection. Both ends use a locking mechanism, improving connection strength. By adding a leak-proof structure at the joint between the dicing blade barrel base and the dicing blade holder, food materials entering the barrel are prevented from squeezing into the joint, thus widening the joint. This utility model's robust dicing blade barrel improves the connection structure between the dicing blade holder and the dicing blade barrel base, increasing its robustness and preventing equipment damage.

[0016] Furthermore, the overlapping baffles and edges added at the joints increase the sealing performance, preventing small pieces of material from entering the joints and thus avoiding spillage. The addition of upper and lower locking protrusions on both sides below the combination of the locking head and the rear insertion hole creates symmetrical locking points, improving the connection strength between the dicing blade holder and the dicing blade support. Moreover, the upper locking protrusion's release direction is rearward, while the locking head's release direction is forward; these opposite release directions reduce the occurrence of disengagement. The addition of screws securely tightens the locking head into the rear insertion hole, preventing disengagement when pushed by food materials. The addition of countersunk holes reduces interference between the screws / nuts and the coaxially mounted rotating cylinder on the outside. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Example 1

[0031] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the robust dicing blade holder of this utility model includes a dicing blade holder base 1 and a dicing blade holder 2, which is detachably mounted on the top opening of the dicing blade holder base 1. The dicing blade holder 2 includes a crisscrossing mesh of blades 201 and an outer plastic-coated frame. Both the frame of the dicing blade holder base 1 and the frame of the dicing blade holder 2 are made of plastic. A front insertion port 101 is provided on the front end plate of the dicing blade holder base 1, and a rear slot 102 is provided on the inner side wall of the rear end plate of the dicing blade holder base 1. A rear insertion hole 103 is provided at the bottom of the rear slot 102. A front plug 202 is provided at the front end of the frame of the dicing blade holder 2, which can be inserted into the front insertion port 101. A latch 203 is provided at the rear end of the frame of the dicing blade holder 2, and a latch head 204 is provided at the bottom of the latch 203. The latch 203 can be inserted into the rear slot 102, and the latch head 204 can be inserted into the rear insertion hole 103. A leak-proof structure is provided at the joint between the dicing knife holder 1 and the dicing knife frame 2.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are two sets of latches 203 and latches 204, which are symmetrically arranged along the vertical center plane of the dicing knife holder 1.

[0033] The front plug 202 of the dicing blade holder 2 is inserted into the front socket 101, and the rear clip 204 can be snapped into the rear socket 103, realizing a front-insertion and rear-clamp connection. Both ends adopt a snap-fit ​​method, which improves the connection strength. By adding the anti-leakage structure at the joint between the dicing blade holder 1 and the dicing blade 2, the food material entering the cylinder can be prevented from squeezing into the joint, thus opening the joint. The sturdy dicing blade cylinder of this utility model improves the connection structure between the dicing blade holder and the dicing blade holder, increases its sturdiness, and avoids equipment damage.

[0034] In one specific implementation of this embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the anti-leakage structure includes a retaining edge and a retaining edge. The retaining edge is set on the outline of the top opening of the dicing knife cylinder seat 1, and the retaining edge is set on the receiving outline of the bottom of the dicing knife holder 2 frame. The thickness of the retaining edge and the retaining edge are respectively half the wall thickness of the dicing knife cylinder seat 1, and they are overlapped.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the retaining edge includes a side retaining edge 104 and an end retaining edge 105. The side retaining edge 104 is integrally disposed on the long side of the top opening of the dicing knife cylinder seat 1, and the end retaining edge 105 is disposed on both sides of the rear end plate of the top opening of the dicing knife cylinder seat 1. The retaining flange includes a side retaining flange 205 and an end retaining flange 206. The side retaining edge 104 can be fastened to the outside of the side retaining flange 205, and the end retaining flange 206 can be fastened to the outside of the end retaining edge 105.

[0036] By adding overlapping guard edges and baffles at the joint, the sealing performance of the joint can be increased, preventing small pieces of material from entering the joint under pressure and preventing material from overflowing outwards.

[0037] Obviously, the leak-proof structure can also be achieved by attaching an inner arc baffle, that is, attaching an arc baffle to the inside of the joint to improve the sealing performance of the joint. Similar simple replacement methods all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] The secure installation process of the dicing blade holder in this embodiment is as follows: Before installing the dicing blade holder 2 to the dicing blade holder base 1, first clean the top opening of the dicing blade holder base 1 and the bottom receiving contour of the dicing blade holder 2, removing any food residue to prevent improper fastening. The dicing blade holder base 1 is placed horizontally with its top opening facing directly upwards. The front end of the dicing blade holder 2 is slightly tilted downwards. The front plug 202 is aligned with the front insertion port 101 and pushed forward, allowing the front plug 202 to insert into the front insertion port 101. Then, the rear end of the dicing blade holder 2 is pressed downwards, and the latch 203 slides downwards along the rear slot 102. A click is heard, and the latch head 204 engages with the rear insertion hole 103, completing the installation. At this time, the side guard 104 is fastened to the outside of the side guard edge 205, and the end guard edge 206 is fastened to the outside of the end guard edge 105.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] In the above embodiment 1, the rear end of the dicing blade holder 1 is far from the discharge port, making it prone to material accumulation. When a large amount of food accumulates at the rear end, it will push upwards to the rear end of the dicing blade holder 2. The rear end of the dicing blade holder 2 is connected to the rear insertion hole 103 by a clip 204, and the clip 204 needs to be rounded to facilitate installation. Therefore, when food accumulates and pushes upwards, the clip 204 is prone to coming out of the rear insertion hole 103.

[0041] This embodiment is formed by further improving the connection strength between the dicing blade holder 1 and the dicing blade support 2 based on the above embodiment 1. In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the robust dicing blade of this invention also includes an upper locking protrusion 106 and a lower locking protrusion 207. The upper locking protrusion 106 is located on the top of the end stop 105 and faces outward, while the lower locking protrusion 207 is located on the bottom of the end stop 206 and faces inward. The upper locking protrusion 106 can be engaged with the lower locking protrusion 207 below it.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper and lower edges of the lower protrusion 207 are rounded.

[0043] By adding upper locking protrusion 106 and lower locking protrusion 207 to form a locking connection on both sides below the combination of locking head 204 and rear insertion hole 103, the number of symmetrically arranged locking points is increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the dicing knife barrel seat 1 and the dicing knife holder 2. Moreover, the release direction of upper locking protrusion 106 is rearward, and the release direction of locking head 204 is forward. The release directions of the two are opposite, reducing the occurrence of release.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] In the above embodiment 1, the rear end of the dicing blade holder 1 is far from the discharge port, making it prone to material accumulation. When a large amount of food accumulates at the rear end, it will push upwards to the rear end of the dicing blade holder 2. The rear end of the dicing blade holder 2 is connected to the rear insertion hole 103 by a clip 204, and the clip 204 needs to be rounded to facilitate installation. Therefore, when food accumulates and pushes upwards, the clip 204 is prone to coming out of the rear insertion hole 103.

[0046] This embodiment is formed by further improving the connection strength between the dicing blade holder 1 and the dicing blade support 2 based on the above embodiment 1. In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the robust dicing knife barrel of this utility model also includes a screw 3, and a threaded hole 208 is centrally provided on the chuck 204. The screw 3 passes through the rear insertion hole 103 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 208.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, screw 3 is a fine-toothed Phillips head countersunk screw, and a countersunk hole 107 is provided at the outer end of the rear insertion hole 103, and the screw 3 nut enters the countersunk hole 107.

[0048] By adding screw 3, the clip 204 is firmly pulled into the rear insertion hole 103, which avoids the clip coming off when pushed by food materials; by adding countersunk hole 107, the interference between screw 3 nut and the outer coaxial rotating drum is reduced.

[0049] In summary, the robust dicing blade barrel of this invention utilizes a front plug 202 inserted into the front insertion port 101 at the front of the dicing blade holder 2, and a rear locking head 204 that can be locked into the rear insertion hole 103, achieving a front-insertion and rear-locking connection. The locking mechanism at both ends enhances the connection strength. By adding a leak-proof structure at the joint between the dicing blade barrel base 1 and the dicing blade holder 2, it prevents food materials entering the barrel from squeezing into the joint, thus preventing the joint from opening. This robust dicing blade barrel improves the connection structure between the dicing blade holder and the dicing blade barrel base, increasing its robustness and preventing equipment damage. Furthermore, the overlapping baffles and edges added at the joint increase the sealing performance, preventing small pieces of material from entering the joint under pressure and avoiding spillage. By adding upper locking protrusion 106 and lower locking protrusion 207 to form a locking connection on both sides below the combination of locking head 204 and rear insertion hole 103, the number of symmetrically arranged locking points is increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the dicing knife barrel seat 1 and the dicing knife holder 2. Moreover, the release direction of upper locking protrusion 106 is rearward, and the release direction of locking head 204 is forward, with their release directions being opposite, reducing the occurrence of release. By adding screw 3, locking head 204 is firmly pulled into rear insertion hole 103, preventing release when pushed by food materials; by adding countersunk hole 107, interference between screw 3 nut and the outer coaxially arranged rotating cylinder is reduced.

Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.
