Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a cucumber pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Smashed cucumber is a classic Chinese cold dish, refreshing and appetizing, especially suitable for summer. The key to making this dish is the "smashing" technique; smashing the cucumber with a knife allows the seasonings to penetrate more easily than simply slicing it. The common method for smashing cucumber is to place it on a cutting board and forcefully smash it with the flat side of a knife (or a rolling pin), then break it into irregular small pieces along the cracks. Smashing the cucumber breaks down its internal structure more effectively than slicing it directly, making it easier to absorb the seasonings and resulting in a better texture. However, during the smashing process, cucumber often splatters, and the need to smash before slicing makes it less convenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cucumber-pressing tool to address the problems of cucumber splattering and cumbersome operation when smashing cucumbers.

[0004] This application provides a cucumber pressing device, including a first wrench and a second wrench that are hinged to each other. The first wrench and the second wrench cooperate to form a garlic pressing structure, a cucumber clamping structure and a walnut clamping structure. The garlic pressing structure, the cucumber clamping structure and the walnut clamping structure are distributed sequentially along the length direction of the cucumber pressing device from the hinge point of the first wrench and the second wrench.

[0005] The cucumber clip structure includes two sets of oppositely arranged first teeth, and the walnut clip structure includes two sets of oppositely arranged second teeth. The distance between the two sets of first teeth is smaller than the distance between the two sets of second teeth.

[0006] This application discloses a cucumber-crushing tool that integrates three common household functions: garlic crushing, cucumber clamping, and walnut clamping. This avoids the inconvenience of frequently changing tools. The garlic crushing structure, cucumber clamping structure, and walnut clamping structure are arranged sequentially along the length from their hinge points, with a scientific layout that ensures no interference between them and efficient force transmission. Users can easily switch between different functional parts as needed. Considering the differences in hardness and size between cucumbers and walnuts, while ensuring that cucumbers can be effectively crushed and walnuts can be firmly crushed, the spacing between the first teeth of the cucumber clamping structure is smaller than the spacing between the second teeth of the walnut clamping structure. This allows for controlled clamping force to firmly hold and crush the cucumber. During the compression of the cucumber by the two sets of first teeth, not only is the internal structure of the cucumber effectively crushed, simulating the effect of slapping a cucumber, but the spacing and shape also facilitate breaking the cucumber into the desired small segments, eliminating the tedious step of "slapping first and then cutting." This significantly simplifies the operation process and fundamentally solves the problem of cucumbers easily splashing and slipping when slapped with a traditional kitchen knife, making the operation safer and cleaner.

[0007] In one embodiment, the width D1 of the first tooth pattern satisfies: 10≦D≦40mm.

[0008] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment limits the size of the width D1 of the first tooth pattern. Within this size range, it is ensured that the first tooth pattern will not result in a poor "cucumber-smashing" effect due to the contact area with the cucumber being too small or too large.

[0009] In one embodiment, the width D1 of the first tooth pattern is greater than the width D2 of the second tooth pattern.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the cucumber pressing device limits the width of the first tooth pattern of the cucumber clamp structure to be greater than the width of the second tooth pattern of the walnut clamp structure. Users can intuitively align the correct functional area. Moreover, the contrast between the stable wrapping feeling when the wide teeth clamp the cucumber and the precise biting feeling when the narrow teeth are embedded in the walnut crevices can provide users with differentiated operation feedback.

[0011] In one embodiment, the length L of the first tooth pattern satisfies: 40≦L≦60mm.

[0012] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment defines the length of the first tooth pattern. Based on this, cucumbers of common sizes on the market can fall into the biting area of ​​the first tooth pattern. The length direction of the first tooth pattern is approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the cucumber, so that when the first tooth pattern bites the cucumber, the stress is concentrated and transmitted along the tooth pattern direction, causing the cucumber to naturally crack along the longitudinal fibers rather than randomly break.

[0013] In one embodiment, the length L1 of the first tooth pattern projected onto the first wrench is greater than the length L2 of the second tooth pattern projected onto the first wrench.

[0014] In the above embodiment, the cucumber pressing device limits the projection length of the first tooth on the first wrench to be greater than the projection length of the second tooth on the first wrench, so that the first tooth and the second tooth form a significant length difference, and the user can intuitively distinguish the functional areas.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first wrench is provided with a garlic pressing block, and the second wrench is provided with a garlic loading groove. The garlic pressing block and the garlic loading groove cooperate to form the garlic pressing structure. The garlic loading groove has a garlic outlet. When the garlic pressing block abuts against the bottom of the garlic loading groove, there is a gap between the two sets of the first teeth.

[0016] In the above embodiments, the cucumber pressing device limits the independent operation of the garlic pressing structure, the cucumber clamping structure, and the walnut clamping structure. When the garlic pressing block abuts against the garlic filling groove, there is a gap between the first teeth, so the impact force when pressing the garlic will not be transmitted to the first teeth and cause deformation. When pressing the cucumber, when the garlic pressing block and the garlic filling groove are fully abutted, the contact point becomes an additional fulcrum of the lever system, which significantly reduces the lever arm length of the lever system, thereby enabling the cucumber to be clamped with less force. Moreover, when the garlic pressing block and the garlic filling groove are fully abutted, the gap between the two sets of first teeth cannot be further reduced, ensuring that the cucumber is not over-pressed, affecting its taste and appearance.

[0017] In one embodiment, the spacing between the two sets of the first teeth forms a first cavity, and the cross-section of the first cavity is a cavity structure that is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides.

[0018] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment defines the first cavity formed between the two sets of first teeth as a cavity structure with a wide middle and narrow sides in cross-section. Based on this, the two sets of first teeth can better fit the cucumber surface, increasing the contact area between the first teeth and the cucumber surface. Moreover, when the two arc-shaped teeth close together, they will gradually apply pressure in a relatively narrow area along the axial direction of the cucumber, causing the cucumber to break preferentially at the center of the narrowest jaws, forming a neater and cleaner cross-section.

[0019] In one embodiment, the spacing between the two sets of the second teeth forms a second cavity, the cross-section of which is wider in the middle and narrower on both sides.

[0020] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment defines the second cavity formed between the two sets of second teeth as a cavity structure with a wide middle and narrow sides in cross-section. Based on this, it is beneficial to increase the second teeth to better fit the surface of the walnut and can adapt to walnuts of various shapes.

[0021] In one embodiment, the garlic pressing block includes a support rod and a pressing plate. The two ends of the support rod are respectively connected to the first wrench and the pressing plate. The pressing plate is provided with garlic pressing protrusions opposite to the garlic outlet position.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the cucumber pressing device is designed so that the garlic pressing protrusion is directly aligned with the garlic outlet at the bottom of the garlic trough. When the first wrench is squeezed against the second wrench, the garlic pressing protrusion provides local high-intensity pressure, which is precisely applied to the garlic cloves. After the garlic pressing protrusion crushes the garlic cloves, the garlic paste is directly pushed towards the garlic outlet.

[0023] In one embodiment, both the first wrench and the second wrench are made of food-grade, high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials.

[0024] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiments specifies that both the first wrench and the second wrench are made of food-grade, high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure the corrosion resistance and structural strength of the device, thereby improving the product's lifespan and reliability.

[0033] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] The following describes some embodiments of the cucumber pressing device of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a cucumber pressing device, including a first wrench 10 and a second wrench 20 that are hinged to each other. The first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 cooperate to form a garlic pressing structure 30, a cucumber clamping structure 40 and a walnut clamping structure 50. The garlic pressing structure 30, the cucumber clamping structure 40 and the walnut clamping structure 50 are distributed sequentially along the length direction of the cucumber pressing device from the hinge of the first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20.

[0037] The cucumber clip structure 40 includes two sets of oppositely arranged first teeth 41, and the walnut clip structure 50 includes two sets of oppositely arranged second teeth 51. The distance between the two sets of first teeth 41 is smaller than the distance between the two sets of second teeth 51.

[0038] This cucumber-crushing device integrates three common household functions: garlic crushing, cucumber clamping, and walnut clamping. This avoids the hassle of frequently changing tools. The garlic crushing structure 30, cucumber clamping structure 40, and walnut clamping structure 50 are arranged sequentially along the length from their hinge points, resulting in a scientific layout that prevents interference and ensures efficient force transmission. Users can easily switch between different functional parts as needed. Considering the differences in hardness and size between cucumbers and walnuts, while ensuring that cucumbers can be effectively crushed and walnuts can be firmly crushed, the spacing between the first teeth 41 of the cucumber clamping structure 40 is smaller than the spacing between the second teeth 51 of the walnut clamping structure 50. This allows for controlled clamping force to firmly hold and crush the cucumber. During the compression of the cucumber by the two sets of first teeth 41, not only is the internal structure of the cucumber effectively crushed, simulating the effect of slapping a cucumber, but the spacing and shape also facilitate breaking the cucumber into the desired small segments, eliminating the tedious "slap first, then cut" step. This significantly simplifies the operation process and fundamentally solves the problem of cucumbers easily splashing and slipping when slapped with a traditional knife, making the operation safer and cleaner.

[0039] The first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 are hinged to each other, and the first wrench 10 can rotate relative to the second wrench 20. The first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 can be rotatably connected by a pin structure.

[0040] It should be noted that both the first tooth pattern 41 and the second tooth pattern 51 are composed of multiple continuously distributed V-shaped groove structures.

[0041] Furthermore, depending on the function of the object, when crushing walnut shells, we mainly use levers and sharp points to concentrate stress and create an "explosive effect" at the weak points of the walnut shell, so that only the walnut shell cracks. This requires a larger distance between the two sets of second teeth 51 to avoid damaging the walnut kernel. However, when crushing cucumbers, we not only need to "crush" the cucumbers, but also separate the section of cucumber being crushed from the whole cucumber. Therefore, the distance between the two sets of first teeth 41 in the cucumber clip structure 40 is different from the distance between the two sets of second teeth 51 in the walnut clip structure 50.

[0042] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the width D1 of the first tooth 41 satisfies: 10≦D1≦40mm.

[0043] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment ensures that the first tooth 41 will not have a poor "cucumber-smashing" effect due to the contact area with the cucumber being too small or too large within the size range of the width D1 of the first tooth 41.

[0044] Specifically, when the width D1 of the first tooth 41 is less than 10mm, the contact area between the first tooth 41 and the cucumber is too small, and the pressure is excessively concentrated on a few small points. The first tooth 41 acts like scissors, cutting the cucumber instead of evenly splitting it open, affecting the finished product. Conversely, when the width D1 of the first tooth 41 is greater than 40mm, the contact area between the first tooth 41 and the cucumber is too large, and the pressure decreases under the same gripping force. This means that more force is needed to achieve the pressure required to split the cucumber, and the excessively large contact surface tends to "flatten" the contact area of ​​the cucumber like a cutting board, rather than forming a clear stress concentration line to guide the cucumber to "split." This may result in the cucumber being crushed and becoming too soft, releasing too much water, and losing the characteristic "splitting without breaking" and crisp texture that smashed cucumbers should have. Therefore, with the width of the first tooth 41 limited to 10mm to 40mm, the contact area between the first tooth 41 and the cucumber can generate sufficient pressure, so that the stress is concentrated on the tooth contact line, which more effectively guides the cucumber to crack into strips along these lines, mimicking the effect of a knife slap, thereby maintaining the relative integrity of the internal structure and the taste.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that the width D1 of the first tooth 41 is greater than the width D2 of the second tooth 51.

[0046] In the cucumber pressing device described above, the width of the first tooth 41 of the cucumber clamp structure 40 is greater than the width of the second tooth 51 of the walnut clamp structure 50. Users can intuitively align the correct functional area. Moreover, the contrast between the stable wrapping feeling when the wide teeth clamp the cucumber and the precise biting feeling when the narrow teeth are embedded in the walnut can provide users with differentiated operation feedback.

[0047] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the length L1 of the first tooth 41 satisfies: 40≦L1≦60mm.

[0048] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment, based on the length of the first tooth 41, allows cucumbers of common sizes on the market to fall into the biting area of ​​the first tooth 41. The length direction of the first tooth 41 is approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the cucumber, so that when the first tooth 41 bites the cucumber, the stress is concentrated and transmitted along the tooth direction, causing the cucumber to naturally crack along the longitudinal fibers rather than randomly breaking.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that the length L1 of the first tooth 41 projected on the first wrench 10 is greater than the length L2 of the second tooth 51 projected on the first wrench 10.

[0050] In the cucumber pressing device described above, the first tooth 41 has a projected length on the first wrench 10 that is greater than the projected length of the second tooth 51 on the first wrench 10, resulting in a significant length difference between the first tooth 41 and the second tooth 51, allowing the user to intuitively distinguish the functional areas.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: a garlic pressing block 31 is provided on the first wrench 10, and a garlic loading groove 32 is provided on the second wrench 20. The garlic pressing block 31 and the garlic loading groove 32 cooperate to form a garlic pressing structure 30. A garlic outlet 301 is opened on the garlic loading groove 32. When the garlic pressing block 31 abuts against the bottom of the garlic loading groove 32, a gap is left between the two sets of first teeth 41.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the cucumber pressing device operates independently through the garlic pressing structure 30, the cucumber clamping structure 40, and the walnut clamping structure 50. When the garlic pressing block 31 abuts against the garlic filling groove 32, there is a gap between the first teeth 41, so the impact force when pressing the garlic will not be transmitted to the first teeth 41 and cause deformation. When pressing the cucumber, when the garlic pressing block 31 and the garlic filling groove 32 are fully abutted, the contact point becomes an additional fulcrum of the lever system, which significantly reduces the lever arm length of the lever system, so that the cucumber can be broken with less force. Moreover, when the garlic pressing block 31 and the garlic filling groove 32 are fully abutted, the gap between the two sets of first teeth 41 cannot be further reduced, ensuring that the cucumber is not over-pressed, affecting the taste and appearance.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the spacing between the two sets of first teeth 41 forms a first cavity 401, and the cross-section of the first cavity 401 is a cavity structure that is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides.

[0054] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment has a cavity 401 formed between the two sets of first teeth 41 with a cross-sectional structure that is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides. Based on this, the two sets of first teeth 41 can better fit the cucumber surface, increasing the contact area between the first teeth 41 and the cucumber surface. Moreover, when the two arc-shaped teeth close together, they will gradually apply pressure in a relatively narrow area along the axis of the cucumber, causing the cucumber to break first at the center of the narrowest jaws, forming a neater and cleaner cross-section.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the spacing between the two sets of second teeth 51 forms a second cavity 501, and the cross-section of the second cavity 501 is a cavity structure that is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides.

[0056] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiment has a cavity 501 formed between two sets of second teeth 51 with a cross-section that is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides. Based on this, it is beneficial to increase the second teeth 51 to better fit the surface of the walnut and can adapt to walnuts of various shapes.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the garlic pressing block 31 includes a support rod 311 and a pressing plate 312, the two ends of the support rod 311 are respectively connected to the first wrench 10 and the pressing plate 312, and the pressing plate 312 is provided with a garlic pressing protrusion 313 opposite to the garlic outlet 301.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the cucumber pressing device directly aligns the garlic pressing protrusion 313 with the garlic outlet 301 at the bottom of the garlic trough 32. When the first wrench 10 is squeezed against the second wrench 20, the garlic pressing protrusion 313 provides local high-intensity pressure, which is precisely applied to the garlic cloves. After the garlic pressing protrusion 313 crushes the garlic cloves, the garlic paste will be directly pushed to the garlic outlet 301.

[0059] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: both the first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 are made of stainless steel.

[0060] The cucumber pressing device in the above embodiments, with the first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 both made of food-grade, high-strength, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, ensures the corrosion resistance and structural strength of the device, and improves the product's lifespan and reliability.

[0061] The food-grade material and high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant material can be either metallic or non-metallic. For example, stainless steel, polypropylene, zinc alloy, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, both the first wrench 10 and the second wrench 20 are made of stainless steel.

[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
