[0027] Currently, non-fried wide noodles are cut using a flat knife after being shredded. After being cut with a flat knife, the bottom and sides of the noodles are at right angles. After being dried with hot air, the noodles harden, and the right angles at both ends of the noodles are very easy to puncture the packaging.

[0028] To address this problem, this utility model provides a cutting tool. A tangent line is drawn through any point on the end of the first cutting edge of the cutting tool. The angle between the tangent line and the connected positioning baffle is an obtuse angle rather than a right angle. This reduces the sharpness of the cut edges of the noodles, thereby reducing damage to the packaging after the noodles are cut.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] An embodiment of this utility model provides a cutting tool, which may include: a tool holder, a tool body, and a mating plate. Wherein:

[0031] The tool body is located on the tool holder and is rotatable relative to the tool holder;

[0032] The mating plate is located on one side of the tool body and is used to cooperate with the tool body to cut the target object;

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, the tool body includes: a plurality of positioning baffles arranged along the axial direction and a first cutting edge unit connected to the first end of an adjacent positioning baffle; the first cutting edge unit includes a first cutting edge, and the angle between the tangent to the first cutting edge drawn from any point on the end of the first cutting edge and the positioning baffle connected thereto is an obtuse angle.

[0034] Since the angle between the tangent line drawn from any point on the end of the first cutting edge and the connected positioning baffle is an obtuse angle, the connection between the first cutting edge and the positioning baffle is not a right-angle connection. When the first cutting edge is used to cut the target object, the cross-sectional shape of the resulting noodle is naturally not a straight line. This reduces the sharpness of the cut edges of the noodles, thereby reducing the damage to the packaging after cutting.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the tool body in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2for Figure 1 Top view of the cutting tool body. Figure 3 for Figure 1 Side view of the cutter body along the radial direction. Figure 4 for Figure 1 Side view of the cutter body along the axial direction.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The tool body may include a plurality of positioning baffles 11 arranged along the axial direction and a first cutting edge unit 12 connected to the first end of an adjacent positioning baffle. The first cutting edge unit 12 includes a first cutting edge 121, and the angle between the tangent to the first cutting edge 121 drawn from any point on the end of the first cutting edge 121 and the positioning baffle connected thereto is an obtuse angle.

[0037] Specifically, the tool body may also include a rotating shaft 13, which has a rotating shaft hole. It is fixed to the tool holder through the rotating shaft hole and connected to the drive component through the rotating shaft hole, thereby allowing it to rotate relative to the tool holder under the drive of the drive component.

[0038] The rotating shaft 13 has an outer surface, and the positioning baffle 11 and the first cutting edge unit 12 are fixed to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13, for example, they can be welded to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13. The positioning baffle 11 can be a stainless steel plate, and the positioning baffle protrudes radially from the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13. The specific height of the protrusion from the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13 can be set according to the thickness of the target object (e.g., the strip after slicing). Each positioning baffle 13 extends radially from the rotating shaft 13. A groove is formed between adjacent positioning baffles 11, and the target object can fall into the groove, which facilitates subsequent cutting by the first cutting edge 121 between the first ends of the positioning baffles 11.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the first cutting edge unit 12 is connected to the first end of the adjacent positioning baffle, and adjacent first cutting edge units 12 share the same positioning baffle, thereby arranging each first cutting edge unit 12 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13, with adjacent first cutting edge units 12 separated by the shared positioning baffle. Each first cutting edge unit 12 can be made of stainless steel, and the first cutting edge unit 12 protrudes radially from the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13. The specific height of the protrusion from the outer surface of the rotating shaft 13 can be set according to the thickness of the target object (e.g., the strips after slicing).

[0040] The first cutting edge 121 is located at the free end of the first cutting edge unit 12 and is used to contact the target object to cut it. The contour of the first cutting edge 121 determines the shape of the end face of the target object when it is cut.

[0041] In specific implementation, refer to Figures 1 to 4The first cutting edge 121 has an arc-shaped profile, which makes the end face of the target object when it is cut arc-shaped, thereby reducing the sharpness of the edge of the noodle after cutting and reducing the damage to the packaging after cutting.

[0042] In another embodiment, reference Figure 5 The profile of the first cutting edge 121 can also be obtuse. Specifically, the first cutting edge 121 may include: a first straight section 121a connected to a positioning baffle on one side, a second straight section 121b connected to a positioning baffle on the other side, and a third straight section 121c connected to the first straight section 121a and the second straight section 121b. The included angles between the first straight section 121a and the second straight section 121b and the connected positioning baffles are both obtuse angles.

[0043] The first straight section 121a is straight, and the angle between it and the positioning baffle 111 on one side of the first cutting edge 121 is obtuse. The second straight section 121b is straight, and the angle between it and the positioning baffle 112 on one side of the first cutting edge 121 is also obtuse. The third straight section 121c connects the first straight section 121a and the second straight section 121b, and the angles between the third straight section 121c and the first straight section 121a, as well as the angles between the third straight section 121c and the second straight section 121b, are both obtuse.

[0044] In some embodiments, the third straight section 121c may also be curved, such as arc or wavy.

[0045] Since the angles between the first straight section 121a and the second straight section 121b and the positioning baffle are both obtuse angles, the sharpness of the edges of the noodles after cutting can be reduced, which can also reduce the damage to the packaging after cutting.

[0046] It should be noted that the outline of the first cutting edge 121 in this utility model embodiment is not limited to the above embodiment, and can also be implemented by other embodiments, as long as the angle between the tangent of the first cutting edge 121 drawn through any point on the end of the first cutting edge 121 and the positioning baffle connected thereto is an obtuse angle.

[0047] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tool body may further include: a second cutting edge unit 14 connected to the second end of the adjacent positioning baffle 11, the second cutting edge unit 14 being opposite to the first cutting edge unit 12; the second cutting edge unit 14 includes a second cutting edge 141, and the angle between the tangent to the second cutting edge 141 drawn from any point on the end of the second cutting edge 141 and the connected positioning baffle is an obtuse angle.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 Taking adjacent positioning baffles 111 and 112 as examples, the first end of positioning baffles 111 and 112 is connected to a first cutting edge unit 12, and the second end of positioning baffles 111 and 112 is connected to a second cutting edge unit 14. The first cutting edge unit 12, positioning baffles 111, positioning baffles 112 and second cutting edge unit 14 are connected in sequence to form a groove for accommodating the target object.

[0049] Taking shredded noodles as an example, the noodles enter the cutting blade from top to bottom. The noodles first contact the first cutting edge unit 12 and are cut by it. Then, as the shaft 13 rotates, the noodles pass through the groove between adjacent positioning baffles and contact the second cutting edge unit 14 again, where they are cut again. At this point, the length of the positioning baffle between the first cutting edge unit 12 and the second cutting edge unit 14 is the length of each noodle after cutting.

[0050] In specific implementation, the outline of the second cutting edge 141 of the second cutting edge unit 14 can be set with reference to the outline of the first cutting edge 121, thereby reducing the sharpness of both ends of the obtained noodles, which can minimize the damage to the packaging after cutting.

[0051] Specifically, in one embodiment, the outline of the second cutting edge 141 can be set to be arc-shaped.

[0052] In another embodiment, the outline of the second cutting edge 141 may include: a first straight section connected to a positioning baffle on one side, a second straight section connected to a positioning baffle on the other side, and a third straight section connected to the first straight section and the second straight section; wherein the included angles between the first straight section and the second straight section and the connected positioning baffle are both obtuse angles.

[0053] In specific implementation, along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 13, the first cutting edge 121 bends and protrudes towards the second cutting edge 141, and the second cutting edge 141 bends and protrudes towards the first cutting edge 121. The protruding ends of the first cutting edge 121 and the protruding ends of the second cutting edge 141 are close to each other and have a preset distance along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 13. As a result, when the target object is cut by the second cutting edge 141 and then by the first cutting edge 121, the sharpness of both ends of the two target objects formed is reduced, and the distance between the two target objects is equal to the preset distance. Each target object is independent and does not overlap.

[0054] In practice, the mating plate is typically made of stainless steel and is located on the opposite side of the blade body, forming a gap between them. The mating plate cooperates with the positioning baffles, sealing the grooves between adjacent positioning baffles, allowing the noodles to enter the grooves between adjacent positioning baffles after slicing. When the noodles contact the first cutting edge 121 and the second cutting edge 141, the mating plate acts as a cutting board, enabling the noodles to be cut.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cutting tool may further include a shredding assembly, which is fixed to the tool holder and located above the tool body. The shredding assembly is used to shred the target object.

[0056] Taking noodles as an example, the noodle strip first enters the shredding assembly and forms shreds, and then the shredded target object enters the cutter body for cutting.

[0057] Among them, reference Figure 1 The tool body is in accordance with Figure 1 Rotating in the direction of the center arrow, the dough enters the slicing assembly from top to bottom, forming filamentous noodles. Under the action of the mating plate, the filamentous noodles enter the groove between adjacent positioning baffles in the cutter body. As the cutter body rotates, the noodles sequentially contact the first cutting edge 121 and the second cutting edge 141, and are thus cut.

[0058] By using the cutting tool in this embodiment of the invention, the sharpness of the ends of each noodle segment after cutting is reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of noodles puncturing the packaging after hot air drying, thus ensuring the packaging remains intact and improving product quality.

[0059] This embodiment of the invention also provides a convenient food product, which includes a noodle cake. Each segment of noodle in the noodle cake is cut using the cutting tool described in the above embodiment. After cutting, the noodles are dried with hot air to form the noodle cake. The convenient food product includes, but is not limited to, instant noodles.

[0060] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
