Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cucumber clamping technology, and in particular to an electric cucumber crusher. Background Technology
[0002] Smashed cucumber is a popular home-style cold dish, and the key to its flavor lies in the way the cucumber is prepared—it needs to be smashed to create uneven cracks. This method allows the cucumber to fully absorb the seasonings, resulting in a flavorful dish, while retaining its crisp and refreshing texture.
[0003] Currently, whether in home kitchens or the catering industry, the preparation of smashed cucumbers still relies on traditional manual methods: the operator holds a knife and uses the blade to forcefully smash the cucumber placed on the cutting board until it cracks.
[0004] Traditional methods of smashing cucumbers rely entirely on arm strength, and the repetitive smashing can easily lead to operator fatigue and high labor intensity. In addition, the smooth surface of the knife makes it easy for the cucumber to slip and juice to splatter during smashing. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an electric cucumber shredder to address the aforementioned problems.
[0006] An electric cucumber shredder, comprising:
[0007] The machine casing has a working chamber inside and an inlet and an outlet communicating with the working chamber;
[0008] A cutting assembly includes a drive motor, a transmission assembly, and an impeller. The impeller is disposed within the working chamber and is connected to the drive motor via the transmission assembly. The impeller has a plurality of extrusion sections, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the impeller. The impeller is rotatable relative to the working chamber, and in a first position, the distance between the extrusion section and the wall of the working chamber is less than the diameter of the cucumber.
[0009] This application discloses an electric cucumber crusher, comprising a casing and a pressing and cutting assembly. The casing contains a working chamber for crushing cucumbers, and an inlet and an outlet communicating with the working chamber. An impeller is installed inside the working chamber and is connected to a drive assembly via a transmission assembly. Several extrusion sections are formed on the circumferential surface of the impeller. During operation, cucumbers are fed into the working chamber through the inlet. The drive motor provides power, which drives the impeller to rotate within the working chamber via the transmission assembly. As the impeller continues to rotate within the working chamber, the extrusion sections sequentially rotate to a first position. The narrow gap formed between the extrusion sections at the first position and the chamber wall applies a compressive force to the cucumber, thereby crushing it. This electric cucumber crusher allows users to continuously feed cucumbers, and the device automatically and continuously crushes and outputs the cucumbers, greatly improving production efficiency. It is particularly suitable for restaurants, canteens, and other settings requiring large-scale cucumber preparation.
[0010] In one embodiment, the extrusion section is divided into pressing teeth and cutting teeth according to its width, and at least one pressing tooth is distributed between two adjacent cutting teeth. The distance between the pressing tooth and the wall of the working cavity in the first position is greater than the distance between the cutting tooth and the wall of the working cavity in the first position.
[0011] The electric cucumber crusher of the above embodiment, by setting pressure teeth and cutting teeth of different widths, when the impeller rotates, the pressure teeth and cutting teeth reach the first position one after another. The pressure teeth are responsible for crushing and breaking the cucumber to form the basic shape of "crushing cucumber". The cutting teeth are then responsible for cutting the cucumber into segments. This application replaces the two actions of "crushing" and "cutting" by the user with a knife by the cooperation of the pressure teeth and cutting teeth.
[0012] In one embodiment, the pressure teeth are arc-shaped plate structures.
[0013] In one embodiment, the wall of the working chamber corresponding to the extrusion part in the first position is designed with an arc shape.
[0014] The electric cucumber crusher of the above embodiment has an arc-shaped cavity wall corresponding to the extrusion part in the first position. The arc-shaped cavity wall can form a uniformly spaced crushing channel with the rotating extrusion part. The extrusion force on the cucumber in the crushing channel is continuous and uniformly varied, avoiding stress concentration caused by sudden changes in the gap. In addition, the arc-shaped design of both the extrusion part and the cavity wall allows the cucumber to slide into the gap between the extrusion part and the cavity wall, reducing the noise generated by the cucumber hitting the cavity wall.
[0015] In one embodiment, the feed inlet is in the shape of a flat flared mouth, and the opening of the flared mouth faces away from the impeller.
[0016] The electric cucumber crusher of the above embodiment uses a flat, funnel-shaped feed inlet with a large inlet and a small outlet. During the feeding process, the cucumber slides along the gradually narrowing channel and is finally delivered to the designated position in the working chamber. The flat design of the feed inlet matches the near-cylindrical shape of the cucumber, which is beneficial for it to be gripped and crushed by the extrusion part on the impeller, reducing the possibility of the cucumber getting stuck at the inlet. In addition, the shape design of the feed inlet can effectively prevent the operator's fingers from accidentally entering the working chamber and coming into contact with the extrusion part, ensuring the safety of the equipment.
[0017] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the output end of the drive motor and the impeller.
[0018] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly further includes a reduction gear set, the input end of which is connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the output end of which is connected to the rotating shaft.
[0019] The electric cucumber crusher in the above embodiment establishes a transmission connection between the drive motor and the rotating shaft by using a reduction gear set, so that the impeller obtains a large torque, thereby the extrusion section has a large force to crush the cucumber.
[0020] In one embodiment, a handle is also included, which is connected to the housing. The drive motor and the transmission assembly are mounted in the cavity of the handle, and one end of the transmission assembly extends into the working cavity and is connected to the impeller.
[0021] In one embodiment, the handle is provided with a start / stop control switch, which is electrically connected to the drive motor and is used to control the start and stop of the drive motor. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0031] The electric cucumber shredder of some embodiments of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses an electric cucumber shredder, comprising:
[0033] The machine cover 10 has a working chamber 101 and a feed inlet 102 and a discharge outlet 103 communicating with the working chamber 101.
[0034] The pressing and cutting assembly 20 includes a drive motor 21, a transmission assembly 22, and an impeller 23. The impeller 23 is disposed in the working chamber 101 and is connected to the drive motor 21 via the transmission assembly 22. The impeller 23 is provided with a plurality of extrusion parts 24, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the impeller 23. The impeller 23 can rotate relative to the working chamber 101. When the extrusion parts 24 are in the first position, the distance between them and the wall of the working chamber 101 is less than the diameter of the cucumber.
[0035] This application discloses an electric cucumber crusher, including a housing 10 and a pressing and cutting assembly 20. The housing 10 has a working chamber 101 for crushing cucumbers, and an inlet 102 and an outlet 103 communicating with the working chamber 101. An impeller 23 is installed in the working chamber 101 and is connected to a drive assembly via a transmission assembly 22. Several extrusion sections 24 are formed on the circumferential surface of the impeller 23. During operation, cucumbers are fed into the working chamber 101 through the inlet 102. The drive motor 21 provides power to drive the impeller 23 to rotate in the working chamber 101 through the transmission assembly 22. As the impeller 23 continues to rotate in the working chamber 101, the extrusion sections 24 rotate sequentially to a first position. The extrusion sections 24 form a narrow gap with the wall of the working chamber 101 at the first position to apply a squeezing force to the cucumber, thereby crushing the cucumber. The electric cucumber shredder of this application allows users to simply feed cucumbers in, and the device will automatically and continuously shred and output the cucumbers, greatly improving production efficiency. It is especially suitable for restaurants, canteens, and other scenarios that require the production of large quantities of cucumber dishes.
[0036] The machine casing 10 has a working chamber 101 inside, which can serve as the working space for the cucumber-smashing action. The machine casing 10 also has an inlet 102 and an outlet 103 that communicate with the working chamber 101. The cucumber is added into the working chamber 101 through the inlet 102, and the pressing and cutting component 20 simulates the action of smashing the cucumber. The cucumber is then collected through the outlet 103.
[0037] The pressing and cutting assembly 20 can simulate the action of slapping a cucumber. The pressing and cutting assembly 20 may include a drive motor 21, a transmission assembly 22, and an impeller 23. The drive motor 21 provides the power source, converting electrical energy into mechanical rotation, which drives the impeller 23 to rotate via the transmission assembly 22. Several squeezing sections 24 are spaced apart on the circumference of the impeller 23. Since the distance between the squeezing section 24 and the wall of the working chamber 101 in the first position is less than the diameter of the cucumber, when the cucumber is inserted into the working chamber 101, the squeezing section 24, in conjunction with the wall of the working chamber 101, can squeeze the cucumber, thus simulating the action of slapping it. It should be noted that the first position can be the working point where the squeezing section 24 is closest to the wall of the working chamber 101. The squeezing section 24, protruding from the surface of the impeller 23, forms a narrow gap with the wall of the working chamber 101. When the squeezing section 24 rotates to the first position, the squeezing section 24 and the wall work together to apply a huge squeezing force to the cucumber, causing it to crack.
[0038] Specifically, the working principle of the electric cucumber crusher is as follows: the whole cucumber or cut cucumber is fed into the working chamber 101 through the feed port 102. After the drive motor 21 is started, the power is transmitted to the impeller 23 through the transmission component 22. The impeller 23 rotates continuously in the working chamber 101. During the rotation of the impeller 23, the extrusion part 24 on the surface of the impeller 23 rotates to the first position in sequence. The extrusion part 24 and the chamber wall work together to apply extrusion force to the cucumber, causing the cucumber to break. The broken cucumber is discharged from the discharge port 103 as the impeller 23 rotates.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the extrusion part 24 is divided into pressing teeth 24A and cutting teeth 24 according to the width size, and at least one pressing tooth 24A is distributed between two adjacent cutting teeth 24. The distance between the pressing tooth 24A and the cavity wall of the working cavity 101 in the first position is greater than the distance between the cutting tooth 24 and the cavity wall of the working cavity 101 in the first position.
[0040] The above embodiment further defines the setting of pressing teeth 24A and cutting teeth 24 with different widths. When the impeller 23 rotates, the pressing teeth 24A and cutting teeth 24 reach the first position one after another. The pressing teeth 24A are responsible for crushing and breaking the cucumber to form the basic shape of "crushing cucumber". The cutting teeth 24 are then responsible for cutting the cucumber into segments. This application replaces the two actions of "crushing" and "cutting" by the user with a knife by the cooperation of the pressing teeth 24A and the cutting teeth 24.
[0041] The extrusion section 24 can be divided into pressure teeth 24A and cutting teeth 24 according to its width. The different widths of the extrusion section 24 correspond to different functions. When the pressure teeth 24A rotates to the first position, the gap between the pressure teeth 24A and the cavity wall is slightly larger than the gap. The squeezing effect on the cucumber in this gap is slightly weaker, tending to crush and break the cucumber. When the cutting teeth 24 rotates to the second position, the gap between the cutting teeth 24 and the cavity wall is smaller. The squeezing effect on the cucumber in this gap is more intense, tending to cut and chop the cucumber. Specifically, the cucumber is fed into the working chamber 101 from the feed port 102. In the rotating state, the impeller 23 first uses the pressure teeth 24A to squeeze the cucumber. Because the gap between the pressure teeth 24A and the cavity wall is relatively large, the pressure teeth 24A will not completely cut the cucumber, but will crush and grind it to form large cracks. As the impeller 23 rotates, the cutting teeth 24 rotates to the first position. Because the gap between the cutting teeth 24 and the cavity wall is extremely small, it can crush and break the inside of the cucumber that has been pre-cracked by the pressure teeth 24A.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the pressure tooth 24A is an arc-shaped plate structure.
[0043] The pressure tooth 24A is a plate-like structure, which is not straight but has a certain curvature. Since cucumbers are approximately cylindrical, when the curved plate-like pressure tooth 24A presses against the cucumber during rotation, it better conforms to the cucumber's contour. This conformation allows the pressure to be more evenly distributed and transmitted along the cucumber's surface, thus causing the cucumber to naturally crack. Furthermore, the curved plate-like structure of the pressure tooth 24A allows the curved surface of the pressure tooth 24A to more smoothly guide the cucumber into the gap between it and the cavity wall when the impeller 23 rotates, rather than abruptly and violently impacting the cucumber, reducing the possibility of equipment jamming.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the cutting tooth 24 is an arc-shaped plate structure, and the bending direction of the cutting tooth 24 is opposite to the bending direction of the pressing tooth 24A.
[0045] The cutting tooth 24 is a plate-like structure, which is not straight but has a certain curvature. The concave direction of the arc of the cutting tooth 24 is opposite to that of the concave direction of the arc of the pressing tooth 24A. Specifically, when the impeller 23 rotates, the pressing tooth 24A first contacts the cucumber, using its arc-shaped surface to guide the cucumber into the gap and crush it, causing the cucumber to break. Then the cutting tooth 24 contacts the crushed cucumber, and the top of the cutting tooth 24 acts like a spoon, inserting into the broken cucumber. A shearing structure is formed between the cutting tooth 24 and the cavity wall, breaking the cucumber's fibers and connective tissue.
[0046] It should be noted that while the front side of the cutting tooth 24 is cutting the previous cucumber segment, the back side of the cutting tooth 24 is crushing the next cucumber segment, ensuring that the entire cucumber is crushed and broken as much as possible.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the cavity wall of the working cavity 101 corresponding to the extrusion part 24 in the first position is arc-shaped.
[0048] The above embodiment further defines the design of the cavity wall corresponding to the extrusion part 24 in the first position as arc-shaped. The arc-shaped cavity wall can form a uniformly spaced crushing channel with the rotating extrusion part 24. The extrusion force on the cucumber in the crushing channel is continuous and uniformly varied, avoiding stress concentration caused by sudden changes in the gap. In addition, the extrusion part 24 and the cavity wall are both arc-shaped, so that the cucumber slides into the gap between the extrusion part 24 and the cavity wall, reducing the noise generated by the cucumber hitting the cavity wall.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the feed port 102 is in the shape of a flat flared mouth, and the opening direction of the flared mouth is away from the impeller 23.
[0050] The above embodiment further specifies that the feed inlet 102 adopts a flat, flared shape, with a large inlet and a small outlet. During the feeding process, the cucumber slides along the gradually narrowing channel and is finally delivered to the designated position in the working chamber 101. The flat design of the feed inlet 102 matches the shape of the approximately cylindrical cucumber, which is beneficial for it to be gripped and pressed by the extrusion part 24 on the impeller 23, reducing the possibility of the cucumber getting stuck at the inlet. In addition, the shape design of the feed inlet 102 can effectively prevent the operator's fingers from accidentally entering the working chamber 101 and coming into contact with the extrusion part 24, ensuring the safety of the equipment.
[0051] It should be noted that there is an axial offset between the central axis of the feed inlet 102 and the central axis of the impeller 23. Based on this, a certain distance is ensured between the extrusion section 24 on the impeller 23 and the side wall of the feed inlet 102, so that cucumbers can be introduced from the distance between the extrusion section 24 and the side wall of the feed inlet 102.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the transmission assembly 22 includes a rotating shaft 221, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 221 are respectively connected to the output end of the drive motor 21 and the impeller 23.
[0053] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the transmission assembly 22 also includes a reduction gear set, the input end of the reduction gear set is connected to the output end of the drive motor 21, and the output end of the reduction gear set is connected to the rotating shaft 221.
[0054] The above embodiment further specifies that a transmission connection is established between the drive motor 21 and the rotating shaft 221 by using a reduction gear set, so that the impeller 23 obtains a larger torque, thereby the extrusion section 24 has a larger force to crush the cucumber.
[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes: a handle 30, which is connected to the housing 10. The drive motor 21 and the transmission assembly 22 are installed in the cavity of the handle 30, and one end of the transmission assembly 22 extends into the working cavity 101 and is connected to the impeller 23.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: a start / stop control switch 40 is provided on the handle 30, the start / stop control switch 40 is electrically connected to the drive motor 21, and the start / stop control switch 40 is used to control the start and stop of the drive motor 21.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0058] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
