Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cutter technology, and in particular to a vegetable cutter that can prevent accidental touch. Background Technology
[0002] Most vegetable cutters on the market have a feeding and cutting cylinder. Inside the feeding and cutting cylinder, there are interconnected feeding inlets and cutting chambers arranged vertically. The cutting chambers contain blades for cutting food. Food is fed into the cutting chamber through the feeding inlet, and then the blades in the cutting chamber cut the food to the required state. When feeding food, hands are often inserted into the feeding inlet, making it easy to touch the blades inside the cutting chamber and get cut. In addition, the feeding and cutting cylinder can be detached from the main unit of the vegetable cutter. When the feeding and cutting cylinder is removed, the blades are exposed. If the user accidentally triggers the blades, there is a risk of being cut. Therefore, vegetable cutters on the market pose a significant safety hazard.
[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vegetable cutter that is simple in structure, safe and reliable, easy to use, provides a good user experience, and is highly practical, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0005] A vegetable cutter designed for this purpose, which is designed to prevent accidental activation, includes a main unit, a feeding and cutting cylinder mounted on the main unit, and a pressing component that moves up and down on the feeding and cutting cylinder. The main unit is characterized by having a first detection switch and a second detection switch. The feeding and cutting cylinder is detachably mounted on the main unit. When the feeding and cutting cylinder is mounted on the main unit, it acts on the second detection switch to activate it. When the pressing component is inserted downwards into the feeding and cutting cylinder, it continuously acts on the first detection switch to activate it. When both the first and second detection switches are activated simultaneously, the main unit's power is turned on.
[0006] The main unit has an electrical cavity, and the first and second detection switches are arranged vertically inside the electrical cavity. The feeding and cutting cylinder has a feeding port, and the first and second detection switches are located inside the electrical cavity on the side near the feeding port. The pressing component moves up and down on the feeding port, and the electrical cavity is directly opposite the feeding port.
[0007] The pressing component is provided with a triggering protrusion, the first detection switch is provided with a first triggering part, and an actuating rod is provided on one side of the first detection switch. When the pressing component is inserted downward into the feed port, the triggering protrusion continuously acts on the actuating rod to make the actuating rod move horizontally, and then the actuating rod acts on the first triggering part.
[0008] An elastic element is installed between the actuating rod and the main unit. When the pressing part moves upward out of the feed port, it triggers the protrusion to disengage from the actuating rod, and the actuating rod resets under the elastic force of the elastic element.
[0009] The feeding and cutting cylinder is equipped with a trigger protrusion, and the second detection switch is equipped with a second trigger part. When the feeding and cutting cylinder is installed on the main unit, the trigger protrusion acts on the second trigger part.
[0010] A guide groove is provided on the side of the feed inlet facing the electrical cavity. The actuating rod extends at least partially into the guide groove. The triggering ridge moves up and down on the guide groove. When the triggering ridge moves downward in the guide groove, the triggering ridge continuously acts on the actuating rod. The triggering ridge and the guide groove are elongated, and the actuating rod is located at the top of the guide groove.
[0011] A positioning strip is provided on one side of the feeding and cutting tube, and a positioning groove is provided on the main unit. The positioning strip is inserted into the positioning groove, the actuating rod passes through the positioning groove, and the guide groove is located on the positioning strip. A first through hole is provided on one side of the positioning groove, and a second through hole is provided on one side of the positioning strip. The actuating rod passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and then extends into the guide groove.
[0012] A third through hole is provided on one side of the positioning groove. The third through hole connects to the electrical cavity. The second trigger part is located inside the electrical cavity. When the feeding and cutting tube is installed in the main unit, the trigger protrusion is inserted into the electrical cavity through the third through hole and then acts on the second trigger part.
[0013] The feeding and cutting cylinder is equipped with a cutting chamber. The feeding port and the cutting chamber are arranged one above the other and are connected to each other. When the pressing component moves downward at the feeding port, it presses the food in the feeding port into the cutting chamber. The cutting chamber is equipped with a cutter for cutting the food. The main unit contains a motor and a gearbox. The motor drive is connected to the input end of the gearbox, and the output end of the gearbox is connected to the cutter.
[0014] The main unit is equipped with a master switch. The master switch, the first detection switch, the second detection switch and the motor are connected in series. When the master switch, the first detection switch and the second detection switch are turned on at the same time, the motor starts to work.
[0015] This utility model of a vegetable cutter incorporates a first detection switch and a second detection switch within the main unit. When the pressing component is inserted downwards into the feeding and cutting cylinder, it continuously activates the first detection switch, ensuring that the cutter requires the pressing component to force food into the cutting chamber before the main unit's power is switched on and the cutter can operate. This means that directly feeding food into the cutting chamber by hand will not activate the main unit's power. This feeding method prevents hands from touching the cutter inside the cutting chamber, thus preventing hand injuries during operation. Furthermore, the feeding and cutting cylinder is detachably mounted on the main unit. When the feeding and cutting cylinder is mounted, it activates the second detection switch, ensuring that the main unit's power is switched on and the cutter can operate only when the feeding and cutting cylinder is correctly mounted. Removing the feeding and cutting cylinder disables the cutter, thereby eliminating the risk of cuts due to accidental activation and significantly improving the safety of the vegetable cutter.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] See Figures 1-14 The vegetable cutter designed to prevent accidental activation includes a main unit 1, a feeding and cutting cylinder 2 mounted on the main unit 1, and a pressing component 3 that moves up and down on the feeding and cutting cylinder 2. The main unit 1 is equipped with a first detection switch 4 and a second detection switch 5. The feeding and cutting cylinder 2 is detachably mounted on the main unit 1. When the feeding and cutting cylinder 2 is mounted on the main unit 1, it acts on the second detection switch 5 to turn it on. When the pressing component 3 is inserted downward into the feeding and cutting cylinder 2, it continuously acts on the first detection switch 4 to turn it on. When the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are both turned on, the main unit 1 is powered on and can operate. If the first detection switch 4 and / or the second detection switch 5 are not turned on, the main unit 1 cannot be powered on, ensuring compliance with safety certification requirements. The first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are microswitches.
[0032] The main unit 1 has an electrical cavity 6. The first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are arranged vertically inside the electrical cavity 6. The feeding and cutting cylinder 2 has a feeding port 7. The first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are located inside the electrical cavity 6 on the side near the feeding port 7. The pressing component 3 moves up and down on the feeding port 7. The electrical cavity 6 is directly opposite the feeding port 7, ensuring that the pressing component 3 can act on the first detection switch 4 when it is inserted downward into the feeding port 7. The first detection switch 4 is located at the top of the feeding port 7 and the electrical cavity 6, and the second detection switch 5 is located at the bottom of the feeding port 7 and the electrical cavity 6.
[0033] The pressing component 3 is provided with a triggering protrusion 8, the first detection switch 4 is provided with a first triggering part 9, and an actuating rod 10 is provided on one side of the first detection switch 4. When the pressing component 3 is inserted downward into the feed inlet 7, the triggering protrusion 8 continuously acts on the actuating rod 10, so that the actuating rod 10 moves horizontally, and then the actuating rod 10 acts on the first triggering part 9. The horizontal movement of the actuating rod 10 allows the triggering protrusion 8 to effectively act on the actuating rod 10, and the actuating rod 10 to effectively act on the first triggering part 9, thereby stably triggering the first detection switch 4. One end of the actuating rod 10 is provided with an actuating arc surface 22, and the middle of the actuating rod 10 is provided with an actuating inclined surface 23. When the pressing component 3 is inserted downward into the feed cutting tube 2, the triggering protrusion 8 acts on the actuating arc surface 22, so that the actuating rod 10 moves horizontally, and then the actuating rod 10 acts on the first triggering part 9 through the actuating inclined surface 23 to trigger the first detection switch 4.
[0034] The main unit 1 is provided with a movable groove 24, and the actuating rod 10 is horizontally and movably mounted on the movable groove 24. The movable groove 24 guides the movement of the actuating rod 10.
[0035] An elastic element 11 is provided between the actuating rod 10 and the main unit 1. The elastic element 11 is a spring. When the pressing part 3 moves upward out of the feed port 7, the trigger strip 8 disengages from the actuating rod 10. The actuating rod 10 is reset and moved under the elastic force of the elastic element 11. A mounting base 25 is provided in the electrical cavity 6. The first detection switch 4 is mounted on the mounting base 25. The movable groove 24 is provided on the mounting base 25. A limit post 26 is provided at the other end of the actuating rod 10. The elastic element 11 is sleeved on the limit post 26. A limit part 27 is provided at one end of the limit post 26. A limit block 28 is provided on the mounting base 25. The elastic element 11 is located between the limit part 27 and the limit block 28.
[0036] A trigger protrusion 12 is provided on one side of the feeding and cutting tube 2, and a second trigger part 13 is provided on the second detection switch 5. When the feeding and cutting tube 2 is installed on the main unit 1, the trigger protrusion 12 acts on the second trigger part 13. When the feeding and cutting tube 2 is removed from the main unit 1, the trigger protrusion 12 disengages from the second detection switch 5 to cut off the power supply to the main unit 1. After the feeding and cutting tube 2 is removed from the main unit 1, even if the first detection switch 4 is accidentally touched, the power supply to the main unit 1 cannot be connected.
[0037] A guide groove 14 is provided on the side of the feed inlet 7 facing the electrical cavity 6. The actuating rod 10 extends at least partially into the guide groove 14, thereby ensuring that the triggering cam 8 can act on the actuating rod 9 when the pressing component 3 moves downward. The triggering cam 8 moves up and down on the guide groove 14, and when the triggering cam 8 moves downward in the guide groove 14, the triggering cam 8 continuously acts on the actuating rod 10. The triggering cam 8 and the guide groove 14 are elongated, with the actuating rod 10 located at the top of the guide groove 14. The triggering cam 8 extends from the top of the pressing component 3 to the bottom of the pressing component 3, and the guide groove 14 extends from the top of the electrical cavity 6 to the bottom of the electrical cavity 6, so that when the triggering cam 8 moves downward in the guide groove 14, the triggering cam 8 continuously acts on the first triggering part 9. This structure ensures that when the pressing component 3 is inserted downward into the feeding and cutting tube 2, the triggering cam 8 will always act on the first detection switch 4, ensuring that the main unit 1 is powered on.
[0038] A positioning strip 15 is provided on one side of the feeding and cutting tube 2, and a positioning groove 16 is provided on the main unit 1. The positioning strip 15 is inserted into the positioning groove 16, and the actuating rod 10 passes through the positioning groove 16. The guide groove 14 is located on the positioning strip 15. A first through hole 17 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 16, and a second through hole 18 is provided on one side of the positioning strip 15. The actuating rod 10 passes through the first through hole 17 and the second through hole 18 in sequence and then extends into the guide groove 14. This structure sets the guide groove 14 in the feeding port 7. The side of the feeding port 7 facing the electrical cavity 6 is closed, so that the food in the feeding port 7 will not fall into the main unit 1, but will remain in the feeding port 7, which facilitates the cleaning of the main unit 1 and the feeding port 7.
[0039] The first trigger part 9 is located on the side of the guide groove 14 away from the feed inlet 7. Combined with the elongated design of the guide groove 14, even if the user puts his hand into the feed inlet 7, he cannot touch the first trigger part 9, and thus cannot start the cutter 21, further improving the safety of using the vegetable cutter.
[0040] A third through hole 19 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 16. The third through hole 19 connects to the electrical cavity 6. The second trigger part 13 is located inside the electrical cavity 6, so that the user cannot touch the second trigger part 13 by hand, thereby preventing accidental activation. When the feeding and cutting tube 2 is installed in the main unit 1, the trigger protrusion 12 is inserted into the electrical cavity 6 through the third through hole 19 and then acts on the second trigger part 13. The trigger protrusion 12 is located on the outside of the positioning strip 15.
[0041] The feeding and cutting tube 2 is provided with a cutting chamber 20. The feeding port 7 and the cutting chamber 20 are arranged vertically and connected to each other. Food is fed into the cutting chamber 20 through the feeding port 7. When the pressing component 3 moves downward at the feeding port 7, it presses the food in the feeding port 7 into the cutting chamber 20. The pressing component 3 is a pressing rod. The cutting chamber 20 is provided with a cutter 21 for cutting the food.
[0042] The main unit 1 is equipped with a motor 29, a gearbox 30, and a main control board. The motor 29 drives the input end of the gearbox 30, and the output end of the gearbox 30 is connected to the cutter 21. The motor 29 drives the cutter 21 to rotate through the gearbox 30, thereby cutting the food in the cutting chamber 20. The main control board is electrically connected to the motor 29, the first detection switch 4, and the second detection switch 5. When the main unit 1 is powered on, the main control board controls the motor 29 to work.
[0043] The main unit 1 is equipped with a main switch 31. The main switch 31, the first detection switch 4, the second detection switch 5 and the motor 29 are connected in series. When the main switch 31, the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 are turned on at the same time, the motor 29 starts to work. If any one of the main switch 31, the first detection switch 4 and the second detection switch 5 is not turned on, the motor 29 cannot work.
