The cutting blade assembly and the crank arm are adjustable and locked onto the light shaft. The sliding assembly 1 and the sliding assembly 2 are each equipped with a lifting cylinder. The fisheye connector and the foot seat 2 are mounted on the lifting cylinders. The two ends of the light shaft are rotatably fitted with the sliding assembly 1 and the sliding assembly 2. The cutting blade rotating cylinder is mounted on the sliding assembly 2. The Y-shaped connector is connected to the cutting blade rotating cylinder, and the other end of the Y-shaped connector is connected to the crank arm. The sliding assembly 1 and the sliding assembly 2 are slidably mounted on the guide rod, and the guide rod is fixed to the base plate. The above technical solution enables the boxed tofu slicing machine to cut tofu into slices. The two ends of the optical shaft are inserted into the bearing housing assembly and can rotate. The cutting cylinder drives the crank arm through the Y-joint to rotate the optical shaft. The cutting blade assembly locked on the optical shaft rotates backward and retracts without affecting the original slicing function of the equipment. This allows the tofu slicing machine to freely switch between slicing and cutting functions, enhancing its practicality. However, after slicing, the tofu is not easy to stably assemble with the corresponding packaging box. After the tofu is sliced, it is pushed and pressed against each other, which can easily cause damage and affect the appearance. It cannot reduce the damage caused by contact between the slices after slicing, which affects the use of the box. Utility Model Content
