Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a dicing component and a food dicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A food dicing machine is an efficient kitchen helper that can cut vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients into diced pieces for later use. The dicing component is the core part of this machine. In existing technologies, some food dicing machines have a dicing component consisting of an inner and outer dicing cylinder and a slicing cylinder. The slicing cylinder rotates relative to the dicing cylinder to first slice the fed ingredients (forming them into sheet-like pieces). Then, pressure ribs on the slicing cylinder press the sheet-like pieces against the dicing blades in the dicing cylinder, cutting them into diced pieces. However, the inventors, through market research and studying user feedback, discovered that during the dicing process, a gap exists between the pressure ribs and the dicing blades. This gap can lead to insufficient or incomplete dicing, causing uncut sheet-like pieces to remain and clog the blade holes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a dicing assembly.

[0004] This utility model also proposes a food dicing machine with the dicing component.

[0005] A dicing assembly according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a dicing cylinder and a slicing cylinder. The dicing cylinder has a slidable dicing blade on its side. The dicing blade has a blade hole communicating with the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder. The blade hole allows diced material cut by the dicing blade to pass through the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder. The slicing cylinder is sleeved on the dicing cylinder. The slicing cylinder has a feed inlet communicating with its inner cavity on its side. The slicing cylinder has a slicing blade located at the feed inlet. The inner cavity sidewall and inner cavity bottomwall of the slicing cylinder are respectively provided with a pressing rib and a protrusion. The slicing cylinder is rotatable relative to the dicing cylinder, causing the slicing blade to cut the food material passing through the feed inlet into slices, causing the pressing rib to press the sliced ​​material against the dicing blade, and causing the protrusion to push the dicing blade to slide closer to the inner cavity sidewall of the slicing cylinder.

[0006] A dicing assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0007] With the above structure, when the food passes through the inlet, the dicing assembly of this application cuts the food into diced material in the following process: 1. The slicing cylinder rotates relative to the dicing cylinder, and the slicing blade cuts the food passing through the inlet into slices. At this time, the slices are located between the slicing cylinder and the dicing cylinder; 2. The slicing cylinder continues to rotate relative to the dicing cylinder, and the pressure rib presses the slices located between the slicing cylinder and the dicing cylinder against the dicing blade. At this time, the dicing blade, which is pressed, slides away from the inner wall of the slicing cylinder; 3. The slicing cylinder continues to rotate relative to the dicing cylinder, and the protrusion pushes the dicing blade to slide closer to the inner wall of the slicing cylinder, so that the dicing blade cuts the slices into diced material. At this time, the diced material can enter the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder through the blade hole. Therefore, in the final critical stage of the dicing process, the protrusion pushes the dicing blade to slide to compensate for the gap, making it close to or even fit against the inner wall of the dicing tube. Thus, it can greatly ensure that the sheet material is fully and completely diced, thereby greatly reducing or avoiding the problem of incompletely diced sheet material remaining and clogging the blade hole.

[0009] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting post is fitted with an elastic element, and the two ends of the elastic element abut against the dicing blade and the mounting post respectively, and the elastic element can drive the dicing blade to reset.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the dicing blade is provided with a contact portion, and the protrusion is able to abut against the contact portion to push the dicing blade to slide close to the inner cavity sidewall of the slicing tube.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the protrusion has a disc-shaped cam structure, and the peripheral wall of the protrusion can abut against the contact part to push the dicing knife to slide close to the inner cavity side wall of the slicing tube.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the protrusion is provided with a positioning block, the dicing cylinder is provided with a positioning groove, and the positioning block is rotatably inserted into the positioning groove.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing ribs are provided in multiple ways, and the multiple pressing ribs are arranged along the circumference of the slicing cylinder.

[0015] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a food dicing machine includes a dicing component as described above.

[0016] The food dicing machine according to the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the above structure can effectively ensure the dicing effect, thereby ensuring the user's user experience.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, the terms "setting," "installing," and "connecting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a dicing assembly, which includes a dicing cylinder 100 and a slicing cylinder 200.

[0038] The dicing cylinder 100 has a sliding dicing blade 300 on its side. The dicing blade 300 has a blade hole 311 that communicates with the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100. The blade hole 311 is used for the diced material cut by the dicing blade 300 to pass through the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100. The slicing cylinder 200 is sleeved on the dicing cylinder 100. The slicing cylinder 200 has a feed inlet 210 that communicates with its inner cavity on its side. The slicing cylinder 200 has a slicing blade 400 located at the feed inlet 210. The inner cavity side wall and the inner cavity bottom wall of the slicing cylinder 200 are respectively provided with a pressing rib 220 and a protrusion 230. The slicing cylinder 200 can rotate relative to the dicing cylinder 100, so that the slicing blade 400 cuts the food material passing through the feed port 210 into slices, and the pressing rib 220 presses the sliced ​​material against the dicing blade 300, so that the protrusion 230 pushes the dicing blade 300 to slide close to the inner cavity side wall of the slicing cylinder 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The dicing knife 300 has an "arched" structure and is provided with a dicing mesh part 310, which is provided with the aforementioned knife holes 311.

[0040] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 Multiple pressing ribs 220 are provided, and the multiple pressing ribs 220 are arranged along the circumference of the slicing cylinder 200.

[0041] With the above structure, when the food passes through the inlet 210, the process by which the dicing assembly of this application cuts the food into diced material includes: 1. The slicing cylinder 200 rotates relative to the dicing cylinder 100, and the slicing blade 400 cuts the food passing through the inlet 210 into slices. At this time, the slices are located between the slicing cylinder 200 and the dicing cylinder 100; 2. The slicing cylinder 200 then rotates relative to the dicing cylinder 100, and the pressing rib 220 is positioned between the slicing cylinder 200 and the dicing cylinder 100. The sheet-like material between the tubes 100 is pressed against the dicing mesh 310. At this time, the dicing blade 300, which is pressed against, slides away from the inner cavity sidewall of the dicing tube 200. 3. The dicing tube 200 then rotates relative to the dicing tube 100. The protrusion 230 pushes the dicing blade 300 to slide closer to the inner cavity sidewall of the dicing tube 200, so that the dicing mesh 310 cuts the sheet-like material into diced material. At this time, the diced material can enter the inner cavity of the dicing tube 100 through the blade hole 311. It can be seen that in the final critical stage of the dicing process, the protrusion 230 pushes the dicing blade 300 to slide to compensate for the gap, so that the dicing mesh 310 is close to or even adheres to the inner cavity sidewall of the dicing tube 200. Therefore, it can greatly ensure that the sheet-like material is fully and completely cut into diced material, so as to greatly reduce or avoid the problem of incompletely diced sheet-like material remaining and clogging the blade hole 311.

[0042] It is understandable that the inner wall of the slicing tube 200 includes the pressing rib 220 portion.

[0043] The dicing blade 300 is slidably mounted on the dicing tube 100. For details, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The dicing cylinder 100 is provided with four mounting posts 110, and each mounting post 110 is provided with a connecting hole 111. The dicing blade 300 is provided with four connecting posts 500. The four connecting posts 500 are slidably inserted through the four connecting holes 111 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each connecting post 500 is provided with a limiting part 510. The limiting part 510 and the dicing blade 300 are respectively provided on both sides of the corresponding mounting post 110.

[0044] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The connecting post 500 is fitted with an elastic element 600. The two ends of the elastic element 600 abut against the dicing blade 300 and the mounting post 110, respectively. The elastic element 600 can drive the dicing blade 300 to return to its original position. The elastic element 600 is configured as a spring.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of mounting posts 110 and connecting posts 500 is set to three, five, etc.

[0046] The protrusion 230 can push the dicing blade 300 to slide close to the inner wall of the slicing tube 200. For details, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The dicing blade 300 is provided with a contact part 320, and the protrusion 230 can abut against the contact part 320 to push the dicing blade 300 to slide close to the inner cavity side wall of the slicing tube 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The protrusion 230 has a disc-shaped cam structure, and the peripheral wall of the protrusion 230 abuts against the contact part 320.

[0048] Understandably, the protrusion 230 of the disc-shaped cam structure has a peripheral wall section that abuts against the contact portion 320 to drive the dicing blade 300 to slide close to the inner cavity sidewall of the slicing cylinder 200. This peripheral wall section can rotate cyclically until it abuts against the contact portion 320. In this way, the slicing cylinder 200 rotates continuously in one direction, which enables the dicing blade 300 to slide back and forth to perform dicing work.

[0049] In some embodiments, the protrusion 230 has a rod-like structure and can swing back and forth as the slicing tube 200 rotates, repeatedly abutting against the contact portion 320 to periodically push the dicing blade 300 to slide close to the inner wall of the slicing tube 200.

[0050] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation and positioning of the dicing cylinder 100 and the slicing cylinder 200, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The protrusion 230 is provided with a positioning block 231, and the cutting cylinder 100 is provided with a positioning groove 120. The positioning block 231 is rotatably inserted into the positioning groove 120.

[0051] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 120 is provided on the protrusion 230, and the positioning block 231 is provided on the dicing cylinder 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The inner cavity sidewall of the dicing cylinder 100 is provided with an inclined material guiding surface 130. The material guiding surface 130 can receive the diced material entering the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100 from the knife hole 311, and can guide the diced material to the discharge port 140 of the dicing cylinder 100.

[0053] Understandably, when the guide surface 130 receives the diced material entering the inner cavity of the dicing cylinder 100 from the cutter hole 311, the diced material can move along the guide surface 130 to the discharge port 140 under its own gravity.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 This utility model also proposes a food dicing machine, which includes the aforementioned dicing components. This structure effectively ensures the dicing effect, thereby guaranteeing the user's experience.

[0055] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
