Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to a stretchable vegetable shredder. Background Technology

[0002] A vegetable slicer is a device used to slice vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and lettuce into shreds. Most common household vegetable slicers on the market are either push-type or rotary. For example, push-type slicers require the user to manually push the potato through stationary blades to complete the shredding, while rotary slicers usually require the potato to be fixed in place before being cut by a rotating blade disc.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN209404557U discloses a shredder. After shredding, the shredding blades are removed from the fixing hole, and the shredding plates one and two are washed and stacked. This results in a shorter overall length, reducing space occupation and improving storage convenience in the limited space of a kitchen. However, when using this type of shredder, the blades are exposed, or the food must be held during operation, which can easily lead to accidental finger injuries. In addition, some existing shredders use multi-stage transmission or spring return structures, resulting in high manufacturing costs, difficulty in cleaning and maintenance, and a unidirectional cutting design that means each operation can only complete one shredding, resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of vegetable shredder that is simple in structure, safe to operate, and has high shredding efficiency to solve the above problems and meet the actual needs of household users. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the present invention provides a stretchable vegetable shredder, comprising: a tank assembly 1, which includes a tank body 11, a cover 12, a cutter groove 13, and a guide cylinder 14. One end of the tank body 11 has an opening, and the cover 12 covers the opening of the tank body 11. A cutter groove 13 is formed between the tank body 11 and the cover 12. The end of the cover 12 away from the cutter groove 13 is connected to the guide cylinder 14, which guides the vegetables to be shredded. The cover 12 has a shredding opening 121 located in the middle of the guide cylinder 14; a cutter assembly 2, which is disposed at the cutter groove 13, and both ends of the cutter assembly 2 extend beyond the two sides of the opening end of the tank body 11, and shreds the vegetables inserted into the shredding opening 121; and a pressure application assembly 3, which is disposed inside the guide cylinder 14 and applies pressure to the vegetables inside the guide cylinder 14 towards the shredding opening 121. In particular, when shredding vegetables, the blades on the blade assembly 2 will not be exposed, thus ensuring that the blades are hidden during the shredding process.

[0021] This stretchable vegetable shredder features a blade assembly 2 located between the can body 11 and the lid 12, with a shredding opening 121 on the lid 12 at one end of the guide cylinder 14. This ensures that the blades of the blade assembly 2 remain between the lid 11 and the can body 12 throughout the shredding process, preventing them from being exposed. This prevents accidental finger injuries caused by blades during shredding, unlike traditional shredders where exposed blades or the need to hold the food can easily lead to finger injuries.

[0022] Furthermore, this stretchable vegetable shredder has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is easy to clean and maintain, and requires no electricity, making it suitable for home use and energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0023] The inner side of the can body 11 is connected to a limiting strip 111, and the end of the cover 12 away from the guide cylinder 14 is connected to a limiting block 122. The limiting strip 111 is located on both sides of the limiting block 122 and limits the limiting block 122. This allows the cover 12 to be placed on the can body 11, and the limiting strip 111 and the limiting block 122 can cooperate to prevent the cover 12 from rotating relative to the can body 11. This ensures that the cutter groove 13 is always at a fixed size, and that when the extended cutter assembly 2 is used to shred vegetables, there will be no misalignment between the can body 11 and the cover 12, which would increase the resistance to the extension and affect the shredding efficiency.

[0024] A handle 112 is connected to the side of the can body 11, so that the can body 11 can be picked up by holding the handle 112, ensuring the efficiency of pouring out the vegetable shreds after the vegetables are shredded.

[0025] The blade assembly 2 includes a blade disc 21 and a shredder 22. The blade disc 21 is located in the blade groove 13, and both ends of the blade disc 21 extend out of the two sides of the opening end of the can body 11. The shredder 22 is connected to the blade disc 21 and is directly opposite the shredder opening 121. It shreds the vegetables that extend into the shredder opening 121. When shredding the vegetables, the shredder 22 moves back and forth with the blade disc 21 by reciprocating the extension of the blade disc 21, thereby shredding the vegetables that extend into the shredder opening 121.

[0026] One end of the blade disc 21 is connected to a first limiting part 211, and the other end of the blade disc 21 is connected to a second limiting part 212. The heights of the first limiting part 211 and the second limiting part 212 are both greater than the height of the blade disc groove 13. This allows the blade disc 21 to be limited by the heights of the first limiting part 211 and the second limiting part 212 being greater than the height of the blade disc groove 13 during the reciprocating stretching of the blade disc 21 to shred vegetables. This prevents the blade disc 21 from being stretched too much and causing the shredder 22 to be exposed. This further ensures that the shredder 22 will not be exposed during the stretching and shredding process of the blade disc 21, thus preventing accidental finger injuries.

[0027] One end of the blade disc 21 is connected to a stretch handle 214, which allows the blade disc 21 to be stretched with only one hand during the stretching and shredding of vegetables, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0028] The blade disc 21 has a mounting groove 213 that passes through the blade disc 21 in the middle, and the shredder 22 is installed in the mounting groove 213, so that the shredder 22 can be removed from the mounting groove 213 and replaced with a shredder 22 with different blades, so that vegetable shreds of different thicknesses can be cut, or a new shredder 22 can be replaced after the shredder 22 rusts.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting groove 213 is provided with a part to support the shredder 22, which supports the shredder 22 without affecting its shredding function.

[0030] The shredder 22 has a first cutting edge 221 and a second cutting edge 222 connected to the side near the shredding opening 121. The openings of the first cutting edge 221 and the second cutting edge 222 face opposite directions, so that during the process of extending and pulling the shredder 22, there is a first cutting edge 221 or a second cutting edge 222 shredding the vegetables. This improves the shredding efficiency and avoids the situation where the vegetables cannot be shredded if there is a jam in one direction during the process of pulling out or extending the shredder 22.

[0031] The pressure application component 3 includes a pressure hammer 31 and a pressure handle 32. The pressure hammer 31 is disposed inside the guide cylinder 14 and applies pressure to the vegetables inside the guide cylinder 14 in the direction of the shredding opening 121. The pressure handle 32 is connected to the end of the pressure hammer 31 away from the shredding opening 121, so that when in use, the pressure hammer 31 can be pressed in the direction of the shredding opening 121 by holding the pressure handle 32, thereby moving the vegetables in the direction of the shredding opening 121 and being shredded by the shredding blade 22. This avoids the situation where the vegetables get stuck in the guide cylinder 14, which would prevent the vegetables from being shredded, and also reduces the situation of uneven and incomplete shredding caused by slippage.

[0032] The opening of the can body 11 is tilted, so that the pressure of the cover 12, the blade disc 21 and the pressure hammer 31 are all tilted, which makes it easier to tilt and stretch to cut vegetables into shreds and is more suitable for the operator's body posture.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide cylinder 14 is shaped like an inverted frustum, which allows the vegetables, such as cabbage, to gradually gather towards the center when shredding them. This increases the pressure applied to the cabbage in the direction of the shredding blade 22, ensuring shredding efficiency and preventing the cabbage from folding due to large gaps between them, which would affect the shredding process.
