Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preparation equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaner for a dicing knife holder. 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] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the existing salad machine body 5 requires a dicing tube 4 to complete the task of dicing square ingredients. The dicing tube 4 is equipped with a rotating drum that, with each rotation, pushes a slice of food downwards through the dicing blade holder 401 of the dicing tube 4. Since the dicing blade holder 401 is a crisscrossing mesh, slices of food are diced into square pieces as they pass through. However, after the salad machine body 5 completes its dicing task, the last slice of food inevitably gets stuck in the mesh of the dicing blade holder 401, and the rotating drum cannot push it out. To clean it, kitchen staff often use chopsticks to poke out the stuck square pieces of food from each mesh of the disassembled dicing tube 4, or tap and shake the dicing tube 4 to dislodge the stuck pieces. However, using chopsticks is laborious and carries the risk of cutting fingers; tapping and shaking can damage the plastic dicing tube 4 and cause the square pieces of food to scatter, making them difficult to collect.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a cleaner for a dicing knife holder to address the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaner for a dicing knife holder. With a simple pushing operation, multiple blockages of square diced food can be pushed out into the collection chamber below, improving cleaning efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model discloses a cleaner for a dicing knife holder, used for cleaning the dicing knife holder. It includes an arc-shaped plate and protruding posts. The arc-shaped plate has a rectangular outline and its bottom arc surface fits against the outer wall of the dicing knife holder. The roots of a plurality of protruding posts are fixedly connected to the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate, and the bottom ends of the protruding posts can be inserted into the mesh of the dicing knife holder.
[0008] Furthermore, the plurality of protruding pillars are arranged in a regular array on the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate; the number of the protruding pillars is consistent with the number of the mesh holes of the dicing blade holder within the coverage area of the arc-shaped plate and they are set in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0009] Furthermore, the protruding post is a cylinder with a rounded bottom.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a handle, which is vertically fixed to the middle position of the arc surface of the top wall of the arc-shaped plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the handle is also provided with a handle head for easy gripping.
[0012] Furthermore, the protruding pillars on both sides of the arc-shaped plate are increased in height to become long protruding pillars.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end of the long convex column is a sloping surface that is higher on the inside and lower on the outside.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model of a cleaner for a dicing knife holder are as follows:
[0015] This utility model discloses a cleaner for a dicing knife holder. Multiple protruding posts are installed on the curved surface of the bottom wall of the curved plate. These posts push up the square diced food pieces clogging the mesh of the dicing knife holder, clearing multiple meshes at once and improving cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, the operator's fingers do not directly contact the dicing knife holder, making the cleaning process safer. This utility model's cleaner for a dicing knife holder requires only a simple pushing operation to simultaneously push multiple clogged square diced food pieces into the collection chamber below, further improving cleaning efficiency.
[0016] Furthermore, by setting the number of protruding pillars to match the number of mesh openings on the dicing blade holder within the coverage area of the curved plate, all mesh openings within the curved plate's coverage area can be cleaned simultaneously. By rounding the bottom of the protruding pillars, the probability of them directly contacting the blades of the dicing blade holder is reduced. Adding handles makes it easier and safer for operators to grip; the addition of flared handle heads allows operators to apply pushing pressure with their thumbs. The long protruding pillars on both sides of the curved plate facilitate observation before pushing, ensuring the long protruding pillars are aligned with the mesh openings on the sides. When all long protruding pillars on both sides are aligned, all protruding pillars on the inner sides will also be aligned with the corresponding mesh openings. The beveled bottom of the long protruding pillars facilitates observation of their position and reduces the risk of contact with the blades. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a salad machine in the prior art; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a dicing blade cylinder in the prior art; Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the cleaning device for the dicing knife holder of this utility model in working state; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of the cleaner for the dicing knife holder of this utility model.
[0027] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model's dicing knife holder cleaner is used to clean the dicing knife holder 401, mainly to remove square diced ingredients whose mesh is clogged. This utility model's dicing knife holder cleaner includes an arc-shaped plate 1 and protruding posts 2. The arc-shaped plate 1 has a rectangular outline, and its bottom arc surface fits against the outer wall of the dicing knife holder 401. Multiple protruding posts 2 are fixedly connected at their base to the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, protruding downwards, and their bottom ends can be inserted into the mesh of the dicing knife holder 401.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the arc plate 1 and the protruding column 2 are integrally injection molded from polypropylene plastic.
[0029] By setting multiple protruding posts 2 on the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, the protruding posts 2 push against the square food cubes blocking the mesh of the dicing blade holder 401, which can clear multiple meshes at once, improving cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the operator's fingers do not directly contact the dicing blade holder 401, making the cleaning process safer. This utility model of a dicing blade holder cleaner can push multiple blocked square food cubes into the collection chamber below with a simple pushing operation, improving cleaning efficiency.
[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple protruding pillars 2 are arranged in a regular array on the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, forming rows and columns. The number of mesh holes of the protruding pillars 2 and the dicing blade holder 401 within the coverage area of the arc-shaped plate 1 are consistent and correspond one-to-one.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the convex post 2 is a cylinder with a rounded bottom.
[0032] By setting the number of mesh holes of the protruding post 2 and the dicing blade holder 401 within the coverage area of the arc plate 1 to be consistent and corresponding one-to-one, all mesh holes within the coverage area of the arc plate 1 can be cleaned synchronously; by setting the bottom of the protruding post 2 to be rounded, the probability of the protruding post 2 directly and rigidly abutting against the blade of the dicing blade holder 401 can be reduced.
[0033] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning device for the dicing knife holder of this utility model also includes a handle 3, which is vertically fixed to the middle position of the arc surface of the top wall of the arc plate 1.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the handle 3 is in the form of a round tube, and the top of the handle 3 is also provided with a handle head 301 for easy gripping. The handle 3 and the curved plate 1 are integrally injection molded and are also made of polypropylene plastic.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 301 is in the form of a flared mouth with the opening facing upwards.
[0036] The addition of a handle 3 makes it easier for operators to grip, making it more convenient and safer to use; the addition of a flared handle head 301 makes it easier for operators to place their thumbs on it to apply pushing pressure.
[0037] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the height of the protruding pillars 2 on both sides of the arc plate 1 is increased to become the long protruding pillar 201. The height of the long protruding pillar 201 is more than twice that of the shorter inner protruding pillar 2.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the long convex column 201 is a sloping surface that is higher on the inside and lower on the outside.
[0039] By installing long protruding posts 201 on both sides of the curved plate 1, it is convenient for operators to observe before pushing the plate, ensuring that the long protruding posts 201 are aligned with the mesh holes on the side. When all the long protruding posts 201 on both sides are aligned, all the protruding posts 2 on the inner side will also be aligned with the corresponding mesh holes. By making the bottom end of the long protruding posts 201 beveled, it is easier to observe the position and the risk of contact with the blade is reduced.
[0040] The process of using the cleaning device for the dicing blade holder of this utility model is as follows: After cutting the ingredients, first remove the dicing blade cylinder 4 from the salad machine body 5. Take out the cleaning device for the dicing blade holder of this utility model. The operator holds the dicing blade cylinder 4 with their left hand, with the dicing blade holder 401 facing upwards. With the right hand, hold the handle 3, with the protrusion 2 facing the dicing blade holder 401, and move towards the dicing blade holder 401. Note that the long protrusion 201 and the row of mesh holes on both sides of the dicing blade holder 401 are aligned. Press the thumb on the top surface of the handle head 301 and push down the arc plate 1. The long protrusion 201 and the inner protrusion 2 move backwards to contact the square food cubes that are blocked in the mesh holes, and push the square food cubes down so that they fall into the discharge chamber of the dicing blade cylinder 4. If there are still mesh holes blocked at the edges, misalign and push again until all mesh holes are cleared.
[0041] In summary, this utility model of a dicing knife holder cleaner, by setting multiple protruding posts 2 on the bottom arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, pushes up the square diced food pieces blocking the mesh of the dicing knife holder 401, thus cleaning multiple meshes at once and improving cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, the operator's fingers do not directly contact the dicing knife holder 401, making the cleaning process safer. This utility model of a dicing knife holder cleaner, with a simple pushing operation, can simultaneously push multiple blocked square diced food pieces into the collection chamber below, improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, by setting the number of protruding posts 2 to match the number of meshes in the dicing knife holder 401 within the coverage area of the arc-shaped plate 1, all meshes within the coverage area of the arc-shaped plate 1 can be cleaned simultaneously. By setting the bottom of the protruding posts 2 to rounded ends, the probability of the protruding posts 2 directly contacting the blade of the dicing knife holder 401 is reduced. The addition of a handle 3 makes it easier for operators to grip, enhancing convenience and safety. The addition of a flared handle head 301 allows operators to place their thumbs on it to apply pushing pressure. The long protruding posts 201 on both sides of the curved plate 1 facilitate observation before pushing, ensuring the posts align with the mesh openings on the sides. When all the long protruding posts 201 on both sides are aligned, all the protruding posts 2 on the inner sides will also align with the corresponding mesh openings. The beveled bottom of the long protruding posts 201 facilitates observation of their position and reduces the risk of contact with the blades.
