Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tomato slicer technology, specifically to a tomato slicer. Background Technology
[0002] Tomatoes are an extremely common ingredient in the catering, food processing, and home cooking industries. Slicing them is a crucial step in the cooking process, but it is often a time-consuming task that requires a high degree of precision. Traditional tomato slicing methods mostly rely on manual operation. Chefs or cooks need to hold a knife and rely on experience and feel to slice the tomatoes. This method is not only inefficient, but also tiring to operate for long periods of time. Moreover, it is difficult to ensure that each slice of tomato is of uniform thickness and size by hand, which to some extent affects the final quality and appearance of the food, and is not conducive to the presentation of dishes and standardized production.
[0003] While existing tomato slicers have solved the problem of manual slicing to some extent, they still have many shortcomings in terms of ease of operation and slicing effect. Therefore, a tomato slicer is proposed to improve the ease of operation and slicing effect of tomato slicers. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a tomato slicer that offers advantages such as convenient operation and efficient, uniform slicing, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a tomato slicer, comprising a base, a rear support plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a push plate base slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the rear support plate base, push plates arranged at equal intervals fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base, a handle fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base, and a blade holder fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a blade holder installed inside the blade holder, and blades arranged at equal intervals inside the blade holder.
[0006] The above solution involves pushing the handle to move the push plate base and push blade, which in turn causes the push blade to move the tomato towards the blade holder. This allows the tomato to be sliced into even slices by the inclined blades inside the blade holder, improving the efficiency and ease of operation of tomato slicing, ensuring the consistency of the slices, and guaranteeing the quality of the slices.
[0007] Furthermore, the pusher plate has an arc-shaped structure at one end near the blade holder, the blades inside the blade holder are inclined as a whole, and the pusher plate and the blades inside the blade holder are staggered.
[0008] With the above design, the end of the pusher blade near the blade holder is an arc-shaped structure, which allows the tomato to be placed inside the arc-shaped structure and its position to be limited, improving the stability of the tomato during the slicing process. The blades inside the blade holder are set at an overall angle, which allows the angled blades to cut into the tomato better, making the slicing process smoother, thereby optimizing the slicing effect and improving the slicing quality. The pusher blade and the blades inside the blade holder are staggered, which ensures that the pusher blade is completely pushed into the gap between the blades and the sliced tomato is completely removed.
[0009] Furthermore, a handle baffle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base, and the handle baffle is located on one side of the handle.
[0010] With the above solution, the handle baffle is located on one side of the handle. When the operator pushes the handle to perform slicing operations, the handle baffle can play a certain protective role, reduce the safety risks during the operation, and ensure the personal safety of the operator.
[0011] Furthermore, a carrying block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the blade holder, and the carrying block is sleeved on the outside of the blade holder.
[0012] With the above solution, operators can easily lift the equipment using the carrying block, facilitating its handling and relocation and improving its mobility. At the same time, the carrying block can also serve as a leverage point during slicing, allowing pressure to be applied to the equipment and further enhancing the stability of the slicing process.
[0013] Furthermore, a handle baffle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and the top of the handle baffle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle.
[0014] With the above solution, the top of the handle baffle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle, and the handle baffle is fixed to the upper surface of the base. This structure can provide a certain degree of support and fixation for the handle, enhance the connection stability between the handle and the overall equipment, thereby improving the stability of the entire tomato slicer during use and reducing the possibility of slicing effect being affected by shaking. The handle baffle can also play a certain protective role by shielding the blade and improving the safety of the slicer.
[0015] Furthermore, a front support plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, and the front support plate is located on the side of the blade holder away from the rear support plate.
[0016] The above solution provides a landing point and platform for the sliced tomatoes, allowing them to fall onto the front tray and facilitating subsequent processing.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the base is fixedly connected with a foot, and each foot is fixedly fitted with a foot sleeve on its outer surface.
[0018] The above solution increases the friction between the feet and the placement surface, making the tomato slicer more stable and less prone to shaking when placed, providing a stable foundation for slicing operations. The foot cover also protects the placement surface and the feet, preventing the feet from directly contacting the placement surface and causing wear, while also preventing the placement surface from being damaged by the friction of the feet, thus extending the service life of the equipment and the placement surface.
[0019] Furthermore, a stop plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base, and the stop plate is located on the side of the base near the handle.
[0020] With the above solution, when pushing the push plate base to perform slicing operations, the bottom of the stop plate can be pressed against the side of the platform to restrict the base, prevent the base from moving easily, improve the overall stability of the equipment during the slicing operation, and also improve the safety of the slicing operation.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This tomato slicer moves the push plate base and push blade by pushing the handle, causing the push blade to move the tomato towards the blade holder. The tomato is then sliced into even slices by the inclined blades inside the blade holder, improving the efficiency and ease of operation of tomato slicing, ensuring the consistency and quality of the slices, and solving many shortcomings of existing tomato slicers in terms of ease of operation and slicing effect.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment of a tomato slicer includes a base 1, characterized in that: a rear support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a push plate base 3 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the rear support plate 2, push plates 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base 3 at equal intervals, a handle 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base 3, a blade holder 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a blade holder 8 is installed inside the blade holder 7, and blades are arranged at equal intervals inside the blade holder 8.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pusher 4 has an arc-shaped structure at one end near the blade holder 8. The blades inside the blade holder 8 are all tilted. The pusher 4 and the blades inside the blade holder 8 are staggered. The arc-shaped structure at one end of the pusher 4 near the blade holder 8 allows the tomato to be placed inside the arc-shaped structure, which limits the tomato and improves the stability of the tomato during the slicing process. The tilted blades inside the blade holder 8 can cut into the tomato better, making the slicing process smoother, thereby optimizing the slicing effect and improving the slicing quality. The staggered arrangement of the pusher 4 and the blades inside the blade holder 8 ensures that the pusher 4 is completely pushed into the gap between the blades and completely removes the sliced tomato.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A handle baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push plate base 3. The handle baffle 6 is located on one side of the handle 5. When the operator pushes the handle 5 to perform slicing operations, the handle baffle 6 can play a certain protective role, reduce the safety risks in the operation process, and ensure the personal safety of the operator.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A carrying block 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the blade holder 7. The carrying block 9 is sleeved on the outside of the blade holder 8. The operator can easily lift the equipment through the carrying block 9, which facilitates the handling and transfer of the equipment and improves the mobility of the equipment. At the same time, when slicing, the carrying block 9 can also be used as a point of force to press the equipment, further improving the stability of the slicing process.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A handle baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The top of the handle baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle 9. The handle baffle 10 is also fixed to the upper surface of the base 1. This structure can provide a certain degree of support and fixation for the handle 9, enhance the connection stability between the handle 9 and the overall equipment, thereby improving the stability of the entire tomato slicer during use and reducing the possibility of affecting the slicing effect due to shaking. The handle baffle 10 can also play a certain protective role by shielding the blade and improving the safety of the slicer.
[0036] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the front support plate 11. The front support plate 11 is located on the side of the blade holder 8 away from the rear support plate 2. The front support plate 11 is set to provide a landing point and platform for the sliced tomatoes, so that the sliced tomatoes can fall on the front support plate 11, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the sliced tomatoes.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The base 1 has four fixed feet 12 at its bottom corners. Each foot 12 has a foot sleeve 13 fixedly fitted on its outer surface. The foot sleeve 13 increases the friction between the foot 12 and the placement surface, making the tomato slicer more stable and less prone to shaking when placed, providing a stable foundation for slicing operations. The foot sleeve 13 also protects the placement surface and the foot 12, preventing the foot 12 from directly contacting the placement surface and causing wear. It also prevents the placement surface from being damaged by the friction of the foot 12, extending the service life of the equipment and the placement surface.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A stop plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base 1. The stop plate 14 is located on the side of the base 1 near the handle 5. When pushing the push plate base 3 to perform slicing operations, the bottom of the stop plate 14 can be pressed against the side of the platform to restrict the base 1, prevent the base 1 from moving easily, improve the overall stability of the equipment during the slicing operation, and also improve the safety of the slicing operation.
[0039] This embodiment of a tomato slicer moves the push plate base 3 and the push blade 4 by pushing the handle 5. The push blade 4 moves the tomato towards the blade holder 8, so that the tomato is cut into even slices by the inclined blades inside the blade holder 8. This improves the efficiency and ease of operation of tomato slicing, ensures the consistency of slices, and guarantees the quality of slices. It solves the many shortcomings of existing tomato slicers in terms of ease of operation and slicing effect.
[0040] It should be noted that guide grooves are provided on both sides of the push plate rear support seat 2, and guide blocks are provided on the inner side wall of the push plate base 3. The guide blocks are slidably connected to the rear support seat 2 through the guide grooves, which can limit and guide the push plate base 3, thereby improving the stability of the tomato slicing process.
[0041] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0042] When the tomato slicer is working, the tomato is first placed in the arc-shaped structure of the pusher 4 near the blade holder 8. By pushing the handle 5, the pusher base 3 slides on the rear support plate 2, and the pusher 4 on the pusher base 3 moves accordingly, pushing the tomato towards the blades in the blade holder 8. Since the blades in the blade holder 8 are tilted as a whole, and the pusher 4 and the blades are staggered, the tomato is evenly sliced into thin slices by the tilted blades during the movement. After slicing, the pusher 4 continues to push, pushing the sliced tomato onto the front support plate 11 for subsequent processing. During the slicing process, the handle baffle 6 provides protection, the handle block 9 can be used to move the equipment or press to improve stability, the handle block baffle 10 supports and fixes the handle block 9, the base feet 12 and base foot sleeves 13 ensure that the equipment is placed stably, and the stop plate 14 can restrict the movement of the base 1 to ensure the overall stability of the equipment. The tomato slicer improves the efficiency and ease of operation of tomato slicing, ensures the consistency of slicing, and guarantees the quality of slicing.
