[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding port structure according to this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, this utility model provides an adjustable feeding port structure, including a feeding hopper 1. The feeding hopper 1 has a feeding channel 110 arranged along the axial direction of the feeding hopper 1. The feeding channel 110 passes through the feeding hopper 1 along the axial direction of the feeding hopper 1. A first positioning part 3 and a second positioning part 4 are respectively arranged within the feeding channel 110. The first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are arranged opposite to each other and are arranged along the radial direction of the feeding channel 110, that is, along the width direction of the feeding channel 110. Food is placed between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4, and the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 abut against the two sides of the food to achieve positioning of the food.

[0028] Specifically, both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are plate-shaped structures or block-shaped structures. The specific shapes of the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 are not limited, as long as they have a surface that can compress the food.

[0029] At least one of the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is movable, making the distance 'a' between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 adjustable. This allows food of different thicknesses or irregular shapes to be positioned between the first and second positioning parts, facilitating cutting and providing good adaptability. Specifically, the first positioning part 3 is movable on the feeding hopper 1, and the second positioning part 4 is fixed on the feeding hopper 1; alternatively, the first positioning part 3 can be fixed on the feeding hopper 1, and the second positioning part 4 can be movable on the feeding hopper 1; or both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 can be movable on the feeding hopper 1. In the embodiments described below, the first positioning part 3 is movable on the feeding hopper 1, and the second positioning part 4 is fixed on the feeding hopper 1.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding port structure according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding port structure after the spacing has been adjusted according to this utility model. Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the adjustable feeding port structure of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1 , 2 In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a movable member 5 is provided on the feeding hopper 1, and a first positioning part 3 is provided on the movable member 5. The movable member 5 moves on the feeding hopper 1 in a direction toward or away from the second positioning part 4. The distance 'a' between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is adjustable by the movable member 5 moving on the feeding hopper 1. Specifically, the movable member 5 can slide on the feeding hopper 1 or be snapped onto the feeding hopper 1. The distance 'a' between the movable member 5 and the second positioning part 4 is adjusted by snapping the movable member 5 at different positions on the feeding hopper 1. For example, a snapping protrusion is provided on the movable member 5, and multiple snapping slots are provided on the feeding hopper 1. The distance 'a' is adjusted by snapping the protrusion into different snapping slots. Since the first positioning part 3 is provided on the movable member 5, the distance 'a' between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is also adjusted. Figure 2 .

[0031] As one embodiment, the movable part 5 is slidably fitted in the radial direction of the feeding channel 110 at the end of the feeding hopper 5 away from the feeding port 2, which has a simple structure and is easy to adjust.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a movable component of an adjustable feeding port structure according to this utility model. Figure 4 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding hopper structure according to this utility model, as shown below. Figure 3 and 4In the illustrated embodiment, a positioning structure is provided between the movable part 5 and the feeding hopper 1 to fix the movable part 5 at a certain position in the feeding hopper 1. After adjusting the distance a, it is not easy to shift, ensuring that the food is not easily moved during the cutting process, thus ensuring high reliability. Specifically, the positioning structure refers to the movable part 5 having a positioning protrusion 510 and the feeding hopper 1 having at least two positioning grooves 120. When the movable part 5 slides on the feeding hopper 1, the positioning protrusion 510 is engaged in different positioning grooves 120, making the distance a between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 adjustable, resulting in a simple structure. Specifically, the positioning grooves 120 can be provided on the outer side of the feeding hopper 1 or on the inner side wall of the feeding channel 110. In this embodiment, the positioning grooves 120 are provided on the inner side wall of the feeding channel 110. Specifically, the positioning grooves 120 are located on the two inner side walls of the feeding channel 110 respectively. Specifically, the positioning groove 120 is formed by the space between two adjacent positioning plates. The positioning plates protrude from the inner wall of the feeding channel 110, which makes it easy for the positioning protrusion 510 to be stuck in or detached from the positioning groove 120 during the sliding process of the movable part 5, thus ensuring high reliability.

[0033] As one embodiment, the number of positioning protrusions 510 is one or more, and one positioning protrusion 510 is engaged in one positioning groove 120. In this embodiment, the number of positioning protrusions 510 is two, and the connection strength between the positioning protrusions 510 and the positioning groove 120 is high, making it difficult for the positioning protrusions 510 to fall out of the positioning groove 120, thus ensuring high reliability.

[0034] As one embodiment, the movable part 5 has a frame structure, and the first positioning part 3 is disposed within the frame structure, facilitating the placement of the first positioning part 3 on the movable part 5. Specifically, the first positioning part 3 is vertically disposed within the frame structure. Specifically, the first positioning part 3 and the movable part 5 are integrally formed, facilitating integral injection molding; the first positioning part 3 and the movable part 5 are detachably connected, such as by snap-fit ​​or screw connection, facilitating installation and replacement.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 3 The second positioning part 4 is located inside the frame structure and serves as a limit to prevent the moving part 5 from detaching from the feeding hopper 1 during the sliding process.

[0036] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding hopper according to the present invention. Figure 5 This is a perspective view of an adjustable feeding port structure of this utility model, showing the second positioning part inclined. Figure 4 and 5In the illustrated embodiment, at least one of the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is adjustable in angle. The positioning part rotates up and down along its axis, allowing the positioning part 3 to be tilted, positioning the food at an angle within the feeding channel 110 for oblique cutting, such as when some people like to cut cucumbers obliquely. Specifically, the first positioning part 3 is adjustable in angle, while the second positioning part 4 is not; alternatively, the first positioning part 3 may not be adjustable in angle, while the second positioning part 4 may be adjustable in angle; or both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 may be adjustable in angle. In this embodiment, the first positioning part 3 is not adjustable in angle, while the second positioning part 4 is adjustable in angle, such as... Figure 6 The food is placed between the second positioning part 4 and the inner wall of the feeding channel 110 at the end away from the first positioning part 3. The inner wall of the feeding channel 110 at the end away from the first positioning part 3 is inclined, so that the food forms an acute or obtuse angle with the plane where the feeding port 2 is located; Figure 7 When food needs to be cut straight, the first positioning part 3 and the third positioning part 4 are both perpendicular to the plane where the feeding port 2 is located, and the food is located between the first positioning part 3 and the third positioning part 4, and the food is perpendicular to the plane where the feeding port 2 is located.

[0037] In addition, if the angle of the bevel is to be adjusted, both the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 need to be able to adjust the angle. The first positioning part 3 is rotatably fitted on the movable part 5, and the second positioning part 4 is rotatably fitted in the feeding channel 110. The food is placed between the first positioning part 3 and the third positioning part 4. By adjusting the angle of the first positioning part 3 and the third positioning part 4, the angle of the food can be adjusted.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 The feeding channel 110 has mounting grooves 111 on both inner side walls, and the two ends of the second positioning part 4 are rotatably fitted into the mounting grooves 111. Specifically, the second positioning part 4 is tightly fitted into the mounting groove 111, and can maintain this angle after rotation, which is convenient for cutting. Specifically, the mounting groove 111 extends through the feeding hopper 1 to the end away from the vegetable cutter, which facilitates the installation and removal of the second positioning part 4 in the mounting groove 111.

[0039] This utility model also provides a vegetable cutter, including an adjustable feeding port structure as described in any of the above claims. The feeding hopper 1 is disposed on the feeding port 2, and the feeding channel 110 is connected to the feeding port 2. Specifically, the feeding hopper 1 is detachably connected to the feeding port 2, which can be by bolt connection or by snap-fit ​​connection.

[0040] There are two types of vegetable cutters. One type has a vertically oriented feed inlet (2), also known as a vertical vegetable cutter. Figure 8 The vegetable cutter in the picture only has a cover plate with feeding port 2; other structures are not shown. Another type has feeding port 2 positioned horizontally, which is a horizontal vegetable cutter, such as... Figure 9The vegetable cutter in the diagram only has a cover with the feeding port 2; other structures are not shown. Specifically, to prevent food from falling out of the feeding channel 110, at least one of the inner walls of the feeding channel 110 is inclined, meaning the height of the inclined inner wall at the end away from the vegetable cutter is greater than the height at the end facing the vegetable cutter. This makes it less likely for food in the feeding channel 110 to fall out of the end of the feeding hopper 1 away from the vegetable cutter. The inclined inner wall is close to the ground.

[0041] The principle of this utility model is that the feeding hopper 1 has a feeding channel 110, and the feeding channel 110 is provided with a first positioning part 3 and a second positioning part 4 arranged opposite to each other. At least one of the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is movable so that the distance a between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4 is adjustable. In this way, food of different thicknesses or irregular food can be positioned between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4, which is convenient for cutting and has good adaptability.

[0042] Operation process: First, place the food between the first positioning part 3 and the second positioning part 4; then adjust the movable part 5, which slides onto the feeding hopper 1, bringing the first positioning part 3 closer to the second positioning part 4. This allows the first and second positioning parts 3 and 4 to position the food, enabling cutting. This method is suitable for food of varying thicknesses and can also be used to position irregularly shaped food. During cutting, the food moves closer to the cutter. If the food thickness is inconsistent, the distance between the first and second positioning parts 3 and 4 needs to be adjusted promptly to ensure the food is positioned by the first and second positioning parts 3 and 4 during cutting, thus ensuring cutting quality and efficiency.

[0043] Based on the above solutions, if any modifications or variations to this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of this utility model, then this utility model also intends to include such modifications and variations.
