Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device and a vegetable cutter. Background Technology

[0002] The feeding structure of existing vegetable cutters is mostly fixed or linear push-press type, with a single feeding angle, which is laborious to operate and not convenient to adjust the pushing direction according to the shape of the food. Especially when processing large or irregular food, the problems of uneven feeding and insufficient pressing are more prominent. Utility Model Content

[0003] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a feeding device that is flexible, easy and labor-saving to operate, and improves feeding efficiency.

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to provide a vegetable cutter that is flexible, easy and labor-saving to operate, and improves feeding efficiency.

[0005] The primary objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] A feeding device includes a housing and a pressing assembly. The pressing assembly includes a pressing rod, a sliding rod, and a slider. The housing has a first feed port. The sliding rod is rotatably mounted on the housing. The slider is slidably mounted on the sliding rod. The slider and the pressing rod are connected.

[0007] The slide bar rotates, causing the pressure bar to face the first feed port. The slider slides along the slide bar, and the slider drives the pressure bar to enter or leave the first feed port.

[0008] The sliding bar and slider mechanism allows the pressure bar to slide smoothly along the sliding bar, and the feeding angle can be changed by rotating the sliding bar. When the sliding bar is rotated to a vertical position, the pressure bar can move smoothly toward the first feed port, achieving uniform feeding of materials. The operation is simple, the feeding efficiency is high, and it can effectively avoid food blockage or deviation.

[0009] The primary objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0010] Furthermore, the first feed inlet is a crescent-shaped first feed inlet.

[0011] The crescent-shaped first feed inlet design can better adapt to ingredients of different shapes, especially in slicing and shredding operations, and can achieve a more uniform feeding effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressing assembly also includes a pressing sheet, the shape of which matches the shape of the first feed inlet. The pressing sheet is disposed at the bottom of the pressing rod and enters or leaves the first feed inlet following the pressing rod.

[0013] Adding a pressure plate that matches the shape of the feed inlet to the pressure assembly can fully compress the food during the pressing process, preventing the material from slipping or piling up, and improving the continuity and safety of cutting; the pressure plate and the pressure rod move synchronously, making the feeding process more precise and reliable.

[0014] Furthermore, the slider, pressure rod, and pressure plate are integrally formed.

[0015] The slider, pressure rod, and pressure plate adopt an integrated molding structure, which reduces assembly steps and the number of parts, and improves structural stability and durability. This design also eliminates the risk of loosening or dirt accumulation at the connection, making it easier to clean and maintain, and extending the service life of the feeding device.

[0016] Furthermore, the pressing assembly also includes a pressing rod, which has a feeding channel along its length. The upper end of the pressing rod has a second inlet corresponding to the upper port of the feeding channel, and the pressing plate has an outlet corresponding to the lower port of the feeding channel.

[0017] The diameter of the pressure bar is smaller than the diameter of the feeding channel, and the pressure bar is movably disposed within the feeding channel.

[0018] By setting a feeding channel inside the pressure bar, and with the design of a second inlet and outlet, materials can be directly guided through the inside of the pressure bar. With the movable pressure bar, a dual-channel feeding method can be realized for ingredients of different sizes, improving operational flexibility and applicability, reducing material jamming, and making the vegetable cutting process more efficient and smooth.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressure plate is provided with protruding nails at intervals, and the bottom of the pressure bar is provided with protruding nails at intervals.

[0020] The bottom of the pressure plate and pressure bar are respectively equipped with protruding nails, which can generate a slight fixing force on the surface of the food during the feeding process to prevent the food from sliding or jumping. Especially when processing round or slippery food, the protruding nail structure can effectively improve the feeding stability and cutting accuracy.

[0021] The second objective of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0022] A vegetable cutter further includes a blade disc and a body. The body includes a housing, a drive unit, and a reducer. The drive unit is a motor. The housing is provided with a cutting chamber and a discharge port. The cutting chamber and the discharge port are connected. The drive unit and the reducer are disposed inside the housing. The input end of the reducer is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and the output end of the reducer extends into the cutting chamber.

[0023] The blade disc is detachably mounted inside the cutting chamber and connected to the output end of the reducer. The drive device drives the blade disc to rotate through the reducer.

[0024] The housing is detachably mounted on the machine casing, and the first feed inlet is connected to the cutting chamber.

[0025] The feeding device can be detachably installed on the machine casing, making it easy to clean and maintain, and ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the vegetable cutter with significantly improved efficiency.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] This invention features a large, crescent-shaped first inlet suitable for placing large pieces or whole vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients. Users can directly push the ingredients into the cutting chamber using the pressing plate for fast and efficient cutting. The second inlet is a small inlet suitable for placing small pieces or long, thin ingredients. The pressing rod feeds the ingredients into the cutting chamber, ensuring stable feeding and preventing slippage. The two inlets work together to meet the processing needs of different ingredients, improving flexibility while ensuring smooth feeding and cutting accuracy. This greatly facilitates users in shredding, slicing, or dicing ingredients according to their type.

[0028] This invention, by setting a crescent-shaped first feed inlet and a matching pressing plate, makes the pressing process more closely and stably fitted.

[0029] The pressure bar has a feeding channel inside and works with the pressure rod to achieve dual-channel feeding of ingredients of different sizes, improving operational flexibility and applicability, reducing jamming, and making the vegetable cutting process more efficient and smooth.

[0030] This invention features protruding nails that effectively prevent food from slipping out. The detachable installation structure of the feeding device and the machine housing facilitates cleaning and blade replacement, ensuring hygienic use and extending the equipment's service life.

[0102] How to use a vegetable cutter:

[0103] In use, the user first rotates the feeding device 1 to open the cutting chamber 33, and then changes the corresponding blade 2 or adds a dicing plate 80 according to the needs of shredding, slicing, or dicing. Then, depending on the type of food, the user puts the food into the first feeding port 111 or the second feeding port 412; by rotating the slide rod 42, the pressing plate 44 enters or leaves the first feeding port 111, and by sliding the pressing rod 41, the user adjusts the depth of the pressing plate 44, pushing the food into the cutting chamber 33; if feeding through the second feeding port 412, the user can press the pressing rod 45 to push the food into the cutting chamber 33.

[0104] Subsequently, the drive unit 32 (motor) drives the blade and the pusher 30 to rotate synchronously via the reducer 7, realizing vegetable cutting and automatic dispensing. The user can adjust the motor speed through the speed controller 321 to control the cutting speed to suit different ingredients; finally, the start and stop of the whole machine is controlled by the power switch 323.

[0105] Multiple ingredient delivery methods:

[0106] The first feeding port 111 is a large crescent-shaped feeding port, suitable for placing larger pieces or whole vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. Users can directly push the ingredients into the cutting chamber 33 through the pressing plate 44 to achieve fast and efficient cutting.

[0107] The second feeding port 412 is a small-sized feeding port, suitable for placing small pieces or long and thin ingredients. The ingredients are fed into the cutting chamber 33 by the pressing rod 45, ensuring stable feeding and preventing slippage.

[0108] The two feed inlets work together to meet the processing needs of different ingredients, which not only improves the flexibility of use, but also ensures smooth feeding and cutting accuracy, making it much easier for users to shred, slice or dice the ingredients according to their type.

[0109] Labor-saving and safe feeding function:

[0110] This vegetable cutter uses a lever-based, labor-saving feeding structure. After the user lifts the pressing rod 41 away from the first feeding port 111, the user can rotate the pressing rod 41 to drive the sliding rod 42 to rotate. The lever action easily moves the pressing component 4, making the first feeding port 111 fully exposed, which makes it easy to smoothly feed in larger pieces or whole vegetables.

[0111] Subsequently, the user rotates the pressing rod 41 in the opposite direction to reset the sliding rod 42, aligning the pressing rod 41 with the first feed port 111, and slides the pressing rod 41. Under the action of the slider 43 and the sliding rod 42, the pressing action is smooth and stable, making it easy to feed large pieces or whole vegetables.

[0112] When processing small or long ingredients, users can directly pull out the pressing rod 45, put the ingredients into the second feed port 412, and then insert the pressing rod 45 into the feeding channel 411 to smoothly push the ingredients into the cutting chamber 33, which meets the needs of various ingredients and makes the operation more flexible and convenient.

[0113] Meanwhile, when the slide bar 42 rotates to open the first feed port 111, the first micro switch 613 is closed and the drive device 32 is de-energized to ensure the safety of the user's feeding process; when the slide bar 42 rotates to a vertical state and the pressing rod 41 is aligned with the first feed port 111, the first micro switch 613 is activated and the drive device 32 is powered on to cut vegetables, which is both labor-saving and safe, and highly practical.

[0114] The vegetable cutter has dual protection features:

[0115] When the feeding device 1 is connected to the housing 31, the second contact block 54 passes through the second insertion port 632 and presses the second push rod 621, causing the second protrusion 6211 to touch the second micro switch 623, thus activating the second micro switch 623. At the same time, when the user rotates the slide bar 42 to a vertical state (the pressing plate 44 enters the first feed port 111), the first contact block 4211 pushes the pusher plate 70 through the through port 53. The pusher plate 70 presses the first push rod 611, causing the first protrusion 6111 to touch the first micro switch 613, thus activating the first micro switch 613.

[0116] The circuit board receives a signal to activate the drive device 32 and enable power operation only when both the first microswitch 613 and the second microswitch 623 are activated. This prevents the equipment from operating if the feeding device 1 is not installed correctly or if the pressure plate 44 does not enter the feed inlet, effectively preventing accidental activation and ensuring safe operation.

[0117] The heat dissipation function of the vegetable cutter:

[0118] When the vegetable cutter is working, the drive unit 32 (motor) synchronously drives the cooling fan 8 to rotate. External cold air enters the inner cavity of the housing 31 through the heat dissipation hole 60 at the bottom of the housing 31. After effectively cooling the motor through the heat dissipation vent 50, the air flows along the heat dissipation cavity 81 and the heat dissipation channel 82 and is discharged from the heat dissipation outlet 821. The heat dissipation channel 82 is equipped with partition plates 822 and guide ribs 823 to optimize the airflow path, which not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency but also reduces airflow noise, achieving efficient and quiet heat dissipation and ensuring stable operation of the equipment for a long time.

[0119] The efficient transmission function of the vegetable cutter:

[0120] When the drive unit 32 (motor) starts, the first sun gear 76 on its rotating shaft drives the first planetary gear 722 in the first-stage reduction unit 72 to rotate. The first planetary gear 722 meshes with the first gear ring 721 and drives the first planetary carrier 723 to rotate, thereby driving the second sun gear 724 to rotate. The second sun gear 724 further drives the second planetary gear 731 in the second-stage reduction unit 73 to rotate. The second planetary gear 731 meshes with the second gear ring 75 and drives the second planetary carrier 732 to rotate, ultimately driving the turntable 74 and the transmission rod 77 to output high torque power after reduction, realizing smooth drive of the blade. The entire reduction process is completed through multi-stage planetary gear transmission, and each stage of gear adopts a helical tooth structure, so that the tooth surfaces gradually contact during meshing, the force is smooth, the operating noise is low, and the energy transfer is more efficient, thus achieving the efficient, stable, and quiet transmission effect of the vegetable cutter.

[0121] Easy-to-clean features of the vegetable cutter:

[0122] When the user rotates the lock 40, the locking rod 312 leaves the locking groove 401, thus unlocking the feeding device 1 and the machine body 3. Then, the user only needs to pull out the second pin 20 to quickly separate the feeding device 1 from the machine body 3. At this time, the second push rod 621 is reset under the action of the second spring 622, and the second protrusion 6211 moves away from the second micro switch 623, causing the second micro switch 623 to close. Only then does the circuit board receive the signal to shut down the drive device 32, which facilitates the replacement of the blade and the cleaning of the inside of the cutting chamber 33.

[0123] Next, the user can also pull out the first pin 10 to separate the pressing component 4 from the housing 11, so that the pressing rod 41, pressing plate 44 and other components can be cleaned separately. The modular disassembly and assembly method of the whole machine makes the cleaning process simpler and more thorough, avoids food residue, and ensures hygiene and convenient maintenance.
