[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable cutting devices, and in particular relates to a slicing and shredding device. Background Technology

[0002] A slicer / shredder is a vegetable cutting device for slicing / stripping fruits and vegetables. It includes a support frame, on which a lifting plate, a slicing blade, a shredding blade, and an adjustment mechanism are mounted. The lifting plate and the slicing blade are both horizontally positioned, with the height of the lifting plate lower than the height of the slicing blade. Both the slicing blade and the shredding blade are fixed to the support frame, with the shredding blade positioned between the lifting plate and the slicing blade. The adjustment mechanism drives the lifting plate to move up and down vertically, thereby adjusting the vertical distance between the lifting plate and the slicing blade to adjust the thickness of the sliced ​​fruits and vegetables.

[0003] However, the adjustment mechanism in the existing technology cannot adjust the lifting plate to move up and down parallel to the slicing blade, resulting in uneven thickness of the cut fruit and vegetable slices / strips, and the thickness of the slices cannot be precisely adjusted. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a slicing and shredding device in which the lifting plate can be adjusted to move up and down parallel to the slicing blade, ensuring that the thickness of the cut fruit and vegetable slices / strips is uniform and that the thickness of the slices can be precisely adjusted.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a slicing and shredding device includes a support frame, on which a lifting plate, a slicing blade, a shredding blade, and an adjusting mechanism are mounted. The lifting plate and the slicing blade are both horizontally positioned, with the height of the lifting plate lower than the height of the slicing blade. Both the slicing blade and the shredding blade are fixed to the support frame, with the shredding blade positioned between the lifting plate and the slicing blade. The adjusting mechanism drives the lifting plate to move vertically up and down.

[0006] The lifting plate is vertically fixed with at least two horizontally arranged first guide rods on one side wall along its length direction, and the lifting plate is vertically fixed with at least two horizontally arranged second guide rods on the other side wall along its length direction.

[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a knob, a rotating shaft, a first gear, a second gear, a first rack plate, a second rack plate, a first fixing plate, and a second fixing plate. The rotating shaft is horizontally arranged, and the knob is vertically fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The first gear and the second gear are respectively fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft. The first rack plate and the second rack plate are both vertically arranged and parallel to each other. The rotating shaft is perpendicular to the first rack plate and the second rack plate. The first gear meshes with a first rack plate that is horizontally arranged at one end of the first rack plate, and the second gear meshes with a second rack plate that is horizontally arranged at one end of the second rack plate.

[0008] The first rack plate has at least two inclined and parallel first guide grooves, and the second rack plate has at least two inclined and parallel second guide grooves. The first guide rod is disposed in the first guide groove, and the second guide rod is disposed in the second guide groove.

[0009] The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are both fixed at both ends of the bracket along its length. The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are both vertically arranged and parallel to each other. The first fixing plate has a vertically arranged first sliding groove with the same height as the first rack plate. The first rack plate slides in the first sliding groove along its length. A first cover plate is fixed on the first fixing plate to cover the first sliding groove. The second fixing plate has a vertically arranged second sliding groove with the same height as the second rack plate. A second cover plate is fixed on the second fixing plate to cover the second sliding groove. The second rack plate slides in the second sliding groove along its length.

[0010] Furthermore, the knob is also connected to a locking mechanism for limiting the knob's position. The locking mechanism includes a housing and a cover plate. The cavity formed by the housing and the cover plate is provided with an upper limit plate, a lower limit plate, a third gear, a locking plate, a locking tongue, a spring, and a mounting block.

[0011] Both the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate are fixedly connected to the housing.

[0012] The third gear is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the knob;

[0013] The locking plate is movably disposed between the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate. The left side of the locking plate is provided with a concave arc-shaped third rack, which meshes with the third gear. The right side of the locking plate is provided with a concave arc-shaped groove.

[0014] The left end of the latch is located in the groove, and the spring is sleeved on the right end of the latch;

[0015] The mounting block has a mounting groove, the right end of the locking tongue and the spring are both located in the mounting groove, the mounting block passes through the cover plate and is rotatably connected to the cover plate, and the end of the mounting block that protrudes from the cover plate is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0016] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly provided on each side of the support along its length.

[0017] Furthermore, a leg is fixed at each of the four corners of the lower end face of the bracket.

[0018] This invention allows the overall lifting plate to move up and down parallel to the slicing blade via an adjustment mechanism, ensuring that the fruit and vegetable slices / strips cut by the slicing and shredding device are of uniform thickness and that the thickness of the slices can be precisely adjusted.

[0019] After the adjustment mechanism of this utility model adjusts the lifting plate to the required height, the locking mechanism can prevent the knob from continuing to rotate clockwise, thereby keeping the lifting plate stably at the required height and preventing the lifting plate from being accidentally lowered by external force, thus ensuring the normal use of the slicer and shredder.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the slicing and shredding device provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a bracket 1. A baffle 11 is fixedly provided on both sides of the bracket along its length. A foot 12 is fixedly provided at each of the four corners of the lower end face of the bracket 1. The bracket 1 is provided with a lifting plate 2, a slicing blade 3, a shredding blade 4, and an adjusting mechanism 5. The lifting plate 2 and the slicing blade 3 are both horizontally arranged. The height of the lifting plate 2 is lower than the height of the slicing blade 3. The slicing blade 3 and the shredding blade 4 are both fixed on the bracket 1. The shredding blade 4 is located between the lifting plate 2 and the slicing blade 3. The adjusting mechanism 5 is used to drive the lifting plate 2 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0032] At least two horizontally arranged first guide rods 21 are vertically fixed to one side wall along the length direction of the lifting plate 2, and at least two horizontally arranged second guide rods 22 are vertically fixed to the other side wall along the length direction of the lifting plate 2.

[0033] The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a knob 51, a rotating shaft 52, a first gear 53, a second gear 54, a first rack plate 55, a second rack plate 56, a first fixing plate 57, and a second fixing plate 58. The rotating shaft 52 is horizontally arranged, and the knob 51 is vertically fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 52. The first gear 53 and the second gear 54 are respectively fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft 51. The first rack plate 55 and the second rack plate 56 are both vertically arranged and parallel to each other. The rotating shaft 52 is perpendicular to the first rack plate 55 and the second rack plate 56. The first gear 53 meshes with the first rack 551, which is horizontally arranged at one end of the first rack plate 55, and the second gear 54 meshes with the second rack 561, which is horizontally arranged at one end of the second rack plate 56.

[0034] The first rack plate 55 has at least two inclined and parallel first guide grooves 552, and the second rack plate 56 has at least two inclined and parallel second guide grooves 562. The first guide rod 21 is disposed in the first guide groove 552, and the second guide rod 22 is disposed in the second guide groove 562.

[0035] The first fixing plate 57 and the second fixing plate 58 are both fixed at both ends of the bracket 1 along its length. The first fixing plate 57 and the second fixing plate 58 are both vertically arranged and parallel to each other. The first fixing plate 57 has a vertically arranged first sliding groove 571. The height of the first sliding groove 571 is the same as the height of the first rack plate 55. The first rack plate 55 slides along its length in the first sliding groove 571. The first fixing plate 57 has a first cover plate 572 fixed on it to cover the first sliding groove 571. The first cover plate 572 prevents the first rack plate 55 from sliding along its length. The first rack plate 55 can only move back and forth along its length direction; the second fixed plate 58 has a vertically arranged second slide groove 581, the height of the second slide groove 581 is the same as the height of the second rack plate 56, the second rack plate 56 slides in the second slide groove 581 along its length direction, and the second fixed plate 58 has a second cover plate 582 fixed on it to cover the second slide groove 581. The second cover plate 582 prevents the second rack plate 56 from moving back and forth along its height direction, so that the second rack plate 56 can only move back and forth along its length direction.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the working principle of the slicing and shredding device of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] (1) When slicing fruits and vegetables, firstly, the user needs to manually remove the slicing head 4; then, turn the knob 41 clockwise or counterclockwise by hand. The first gear 53 and the second gear 54 will rotate together with the knob. The first gear 53 drives the first rack 551 to move back and forth along its length, and the second gear 54 drives the second rack 561 to move back and forth along its length. The first rack 551 drives the first rack plate 55 to move back and forth along its length in the first slide groove 571, and the second rack 561 drives the second rack plate 56 to move back and forth along its length in the second slide groove 581. While the first rack plate 55 moves back and forth along its length, it drives the first guide rod 21 to move up and down in the first guide groove 552. While the second rack plate 56 moves back and forth along its length, it drives the second guide rod 22 to move up and down in the first guide groove 562. This achieves the purpose of driving the lifting plate 2 to move up and down in the vertical direction. When the position of the lifting plate 2 is adjusted to the required height, the knob 51 is stopped. Finally, the user holds the fruit and vegetables and slides them along the length of the lifting plate 2 toward the slicing head 3. When the fruit and vegetables slide to the slicing head 3, the slicing head 3 slices the fruit and vegetables.

[0038] (2) When it is necessary to shred fruits and vegetables, firstly, the user needs to manually install the shredder head 4; then, turn the knob 41 clockwise or counterclockwise by hand. The first gear 53 and the second gear 54 rotate together with the knob. The first gear 53 drives the first rack 551 to move back and forth along its length direction, and the second gear 54 drives the second rack 561 to move back and forth along its length direction. The first rack 551 drives the first rack plate 55 to move back and forth along its length direction in the first slide groove 571, and the second rack 561 drives the second rack plate 56 to move back and forth along its length direction in the second slide groove 581. The first rack plate 55 moves back and forth along its length direction. While moving back and forth, the first guide rod 21 is driven to move up and down in the first guide groove 552. While the second rack plate 56 moves back and forth along its length, the second guide rod 22 is driven to move up and down in the first guide groove 562. This achieves the purpose of driving the lifting plate 2 to move up and down in the vertical direction. When the position of the lifting plate 2 is adjusted to the required height, the knob 51 is stopped. Finally, the user holds the fruit and vegetables and slides them along the length of the lifting plate 2 toward the slicing head 3 and the shredding head 4. When the fruit and vegetables slide to the slicing head 3 and the shredding head 4, the slicing head 3 slices the fruit and vegetables, and at the same time the shredding head 4 shreds the fruit and vegetables.

[0039] In summary, this utility model allows the overall lifting plate 2 to move up and down parallel to the slicing blade head 3 via an adjustment mechanism, ensuring that the fruit and vegetable slices / strips cut by the slicing and shredding device are of uniform thickness and that the thickness of the slices can be precisely adjusted.

[0040] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the knob 51 is further connected to a locking mechanism 6 for limiting the knob 51. The locking mechanism 6 includes a housing 61 and a cover 62. The cavity formed by assembling the housing 61 and the cover 62 with a number of screws 611 is provided with an upper limit plate 63, a lower limit plate 64, a third gear 65, a locking plate 66, a locking tongue 67, a spring 68 and a mounting block 69.

[0041] Both the upper limit plate 66 and the lower limit plate 64 are fixedly connected to the housing 61;

[0042] The third gear 65 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the knob 51;

[0043] The locking plate 66 is movably disposed between the upper limit plate 63 and the lower limit plate 64. The left side of the locking plate 66 is provided with a concave arc-shaped third rack 661, which meshes with the third gear 65. The right side of the locking plate 66 is provided with a concave arc-shaped groove 662.

[0044] The left end of the locking tongue 67 is located in the groove 662, and the spring 68 is sleeved on the right end of the locking tongue 67;

[0045] The mounting block 69 has a mounting groove 691. The right end of the locking tongue 67 and the spring 68 are both located in the mounting groove 691. The mounting block 69 passes through the cover 62 and is rotatably connected to the cover 62. One end of the mounting block 69 protruding from the cover 62 is fixedly connected to a handle 610.

[0046] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the working principle of the locking mechanism 6 of this utility model is as follows:

[0047] (1) When it is necessary to lower the height of the lifting platform 2, firstly, manually move the handle 610 to the lowest position (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown), at this time, the handle 610 drives the locking tongue 67 to move upward through the mounting block 69. The locking tongue 67 drives the locking plate 66 to move to the upper limit plate 63, and the upper limit plate 63 blocks the locking plate 66. Then, the user turns the knob 41 clockwise by hand. The third gear 65 rotates clockwise with the knob 41. During the continuous meshing of the third gear 65 and the third rack 661, the third gear 65 exerts a downward force on the locking plate 66. The locking plate 66 transmits the force from the third gear 65 to the locking tongue 67, and the locking tongue 67 then transmits the force to the spring 68. The spring 68 is compressed after being subjected to the force. The elastic force generated by the compressed spring 68 acts on the locking tongue 67, so that the locking tongue 67 is always located in the groove 662 on the right side of the locking plate 66, ensuring that the locking tongue 67 always pushes the locking plate 66 against the upper limit plate 63. When the adjusting lifting plate 2 is lowered to the required height, the handle 610 is then moved to the top by hand (as shown). Figure 9 As shown), at this time, the handle 610 drives the locking tongue 67 to move downward through the mounting block 69. The locking tongue 67 drives the locking plate 66 to move to the lower limit plate 64. The lower limit plate 64 blocks the locking tongue 67. When the user continues to turn the knob 41 clockwise, the locking plate 66 is subjected to a downward force by the third gear 65. Since the locking plate 66 is blocked by the lower limit plate 64, the lower limit plate 64 cannot continue to move downward, which causes the third gear 65 to be unable to rotate. The knob 51 also cannot be rotated, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the knob 51, thus preventing the lifting plate 2 from being lowered unexpectedly by external force, and ensuring the normal use of the slicer and shredder.

[0048] (2) When it is necessary to raise the height of the lifting platform 2, firstly, manually move the handle 610 to the top (e.g., Figure 9As shown), at this time, the handle 610 drives the locking tongue 67 to move downward through the mounting block 69. The locking tongue 67 drives the locking plate 66 to move to the lower limit plate 64, and the lower limit plate 64 blocks the locking tongue 67. Then, the user turns the knob 41 counterclockwise by hand. The third gear 65 meshes with the third rack 661. The third gear 65 generates an upward force on the locking plate 66. The locking plate 66 transmits the upward force to the locking tongue 67. The locking tongue 67 then transmits the force to the spring 68. The spring 68 is compressed after being subjected to the force. The elastic force generated by the compressed spring 68 acts on the locking tongue 67, so that the locking tongue 67 is always located in the groove 662 on the right side of the locking plate 66, ensuring that the locking tongue 67 always pushes the locking plate 66 against the lower limit plate 64. When the lifting plate 2 is raised to the required height, stop turning the knob 41 counterclockwise.

[0049] After the adjustment mechanism 5 of this utility model adjusts the lifting plate 2 to the required height, the locking mechanism 6 can prevent the knob 51 from continuing to rotate clockwise, thereby keeping the lifting plate 2 stably at the required height and preventing the lifting plate 2 from being accidentally lowered by external force, thus ensuring the normal use of the slicer and shredder.

[0050] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
