Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen cutting devices, and in particular to a vegetable dicing machine based on a single motor drive to achieve three-way positive cross-linking motion. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of modern kitchen appliances and the development of the pre-cooked food industry, vegetable cutting equipment is widely used in kitchens across the country, including traditional press-type dicing machines and the currently mainstream electric food processors. Electric food processors mostly use a rotating blade structure to achieve the cutting function. This type of design has several obvious defects, as follows:

[0003] The food is processed by differential rotary cutting action generated by the high-speed rotation of the arc-shaped blade. At the same time, the food is thrown against the inner wall of the container by centrifugal force, resulting in uneven force environment and random cutting trajectory.

[0004] Due to the lack of an effective material circulation or stirring mechanism, the ingredients are unevenly distributed during processing, with some areas being over-cut while other areas have large pieces remaining, which seriously affects the consistency of the finished product's particle size.

[0005] Under centrifugal force, the ingredients adhere to the container wall and detach from the effective cutting area, making it difficult for users to judge the processing progress and ultimately affecting the uniformity of the filling or diced vegetables.

[0006] While traditional countertop manual pressing dicing machines have a simple structure, they are inefficient. Their limited barrel capacity results in small batch sizes, requiring users to repeatedly fill, press, and empty to meet the needs of a single meal. This process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Especially when processing high-hardness or high-fiber ingredients (such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and celery), the pressing resistance is significant, requiring considerable hand strength from the user. Prolonged operation can easily cause fatigue, making it extremely unfriendly to the elderly or those with weaker physical strength. Furthermore, when the blade becomes dull or food gets stuck, it can easily produce incomplete, broken, or deformed vegetable strips, further reducing the appearance quality and cutting consistency of the finished product.

[0008] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A vegetable dicing machine based on a single motor drive to achieve three-way positive cross-linking motion includes an upper cover, a bottom barrel, a reciprocating cutting mechanism, a power drive mechanism, and a rotary dicing mechanism. The upper cover is detachably installed on the top of the bottom barrel. The power drive mechanism is located inside the bottom barrel. The reciprocating cutting mechanism is located inside the cover cavity of the upper cover. The rotary dicing mechanism is located below the reciprocating cutting mechanism.

[0021] It has high production efficiency and can achieve continuous or batch production. Its output per unit time (capacity) can meet commercial or industrial-grade needs.

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a vegetable dicing machine based on a single motor drive to achieve three-way positive cross-linking includes an upper cover 100, a bottom barrel 200, a reciprocating cutting mechanism 300, a power drive mechanism 400, and a rotary dicing mechanism 500. The upper cover 100 is detachably installed on the top of the bottom barrel 200. The power drive mechanism 400 is located inside the bottom barrel 200. The reciprocating cutting mechanism 300 is located inside the cover cavity of the upper cover 100. The rotary dicing mechanism 500 is located below the reciprocating cutting mechanism 300.

[0040] In this embodiment, the power drive mechanism 400 is a motor, which is fixed to the inner bottom of the bottom cylinder 200 by a motor frame;

[0041] The output end of the power drive mechanism 400 is connected to an integrated drive spindle 700. The rotary dicing mechanism 500 and the reciprocating cutting mechanism 300 are both mounted on the integrated drive spindle 700. The rotation of the integrated drive spindle 700 drives the rotary dicing mechanism 500 and the reciprocating cutting mechanism 300 to perform cutting operations. The rotary dicing mechanism 500 and the reciprocating cutting mechanism 300 can achieve three-stage orthogonal cutting of horizontal, vertical and vertical cutting, which can efficiently decompose the ingredients into uniform cubic cubes, resulting in a high degree of regularity in the finished product.

[0042] The reciprocating cutting mechanism 300 includes a reciprocating cutting plate 301, a cam drive hole 303 on the reciprocating cutting plate 301, a cam 302 in the cam drive hole 303, the cam 302 rotates in the cam drive hole 303 to realize the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating cutting plate 301, and a cross-cutting tooth 304 is detachably installed on the cutting end of the reciprocating cutting plate 301.

[0043] The rotary dicing mechanism 500 includes a disc 501, on which there are longitudinal slicing holes and a cutter hole. A longitudinal slicing tooth 502 is detachably installed in the longitudinal slicing holes, and a slotted cutter 503 is detachably installed in the cutter hole.

[0044] In this embodiment, the spatial movement directions of the transverse cutting teeth 304, the longitudinal cutting teeth 502, and the slotted hole cutter 503 are mutually orthogonal, forming a three-stage orthogonal cutting system. The slotted hole cutter 503 can let the cut pieces fall through the hole to the bottom. It is a commonly used shredding tool, which will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Since the cross-cutting teeth 304, the longitudinal cutting teeth 502, and the slotted cutter 503 are all detachable, it is convenient to replace them with different specifications and sizes. After a lot of testing, by changing the specifications of the cross-cutting teeth 304, the longitudinal cutting teeth 502, and the slotted cutter 503, the minimum dicing size can be 6mm.

[0046] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model also discloses the following more optimized specific structures:

[0047] The integrated drive spindle 700 includes a main spindle body 701. The bottom of the main spindle body 701 is provided with a power groove. The groove wall of the power groove is provided with a fixing hole 705 to facilitate the installation and fixing of the power shaft of the power drive mechanism 400. The main spindle body 701 is provided with a cam drive limiting post 704, a disc drive limiting post 703, and a threaded part 702 from top to bottom. The diameter of the cam drive limiting post 704 is smaller than the diameter of the disc drive limiting post 703, and the diameter of the disc drive limiting post 703 is smaller than the diameter of the threaded part 702.

[0048] The center of the disc 501 is provided with a disc locking and limiting hole corresponding to the disc drive limiting post 703, and the disc locking and limiting hole is sleeved onto the disc drive limiting post 703.

[0049] The cam 302 is provided with a cam locking and limiting hole corresponding to the cam drive limiting post 704, and the cam locking and limiting hole is sleeved on the cam drive limiting post 704;

[0050] The threaded part 702 is fitted with a splash guard 600 to prevent splashing.

[0051] The top cover 100 is provided with a feeding channel 101, and the bottom barrel 200 is provided with a discharge channel 201 corresponding to the feeding channel 101.

[0052] The two sides of the reciprocating cutter 301 are installed at the bottom of the upper cover 100 via the reciprocating rail frame 306 to achieve track limit for reciprocating motion.

[0053] Both the bottom of the reciprocating cutter 301 and the top cover 100 are equipped with spring hangers 305. The two spring hangers 305 are connected by a spring to assist the reciprocating cutter 301 in its reset process.

[0054] The top of the cover 100 has a portable protrusion 102 for easy carrying and handling.

[0055] The top cover 100 and the bottom barrel 200 are connected together by threads.

[0056] The transverse cutting tooth 304 includes a cutting tooth plate 3041, with guard strips 3043 on both sides of the cutting tooth plate 3041, and a number of transverse cutting teeth 3042 on one end of the cutting tooth plate 3041.

[0057] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 The vegetable dicing machine shown, based on a single motor drive to achieve three-way positive cross-linking motion, dices vegetables using a reciprocating cutting mechanism 300, a rotary dicing mechanism 500 with two pairs of orthogonally arranged transverse cutting teeth 304, longitudinal cutting teeth 502, and a slotted cutter 503. The diced pieces are uniform in size. The three cutting components are driven by a single power drive mechanism 400, offering the following advantages:

[0058] It has high cutting quality and can produce cube-shaped ingredients with uniform size and smooth and neat cut surfaces, ensuring that the finished product is beautiful and that subsequent processing (such as cooking and heating) is even.

[0059] It has high production efficiency and can achieve continuous or batch production. Its output per unit time (capacity) can meet commercial or industrial-grade needs.

[0060] It is highly adaptable and can handle a variety of food ingredients, including fresh fruits and vegetables (such as carrots and potatoes), meat (such as fresh meat and frozen meat) and other food ingredients, and can adapt to materials with different hardness and texture.

[0061] The operation and adjustment are convenient, and the cutting size can be easily adjusted to produce different shapes such as diced, shredded, and sliced ​​products to meet diverse needs;

[0062] The equipment should be safe, reliable, and easy to maintain. It should have necessary safety protection measures, a reasonable structural design, and be easy to clean, maintain, and replace the cutting tools.

[0063] The above structure is used as follows:

[0064] S1. Feed the ingredients through the feeding channel 101;

[0065] S2. Start the power drive mechanism 400, and cut the food into slices by transverse cutting teeth 304. The thickness of the slices is determined by the blade spacing of the transverse cutting teeth. Here, transverse does not mean horizontal. The transverse cutting surface of the transverse cutting teeth 304 is vertical. The "transverse" refers to the direction relative to the "longitudinal". In this embodiment, the longitudinal cutting surface is also vertical. The transverse and longitudinal directions are orthogonal.

[0066] S3. The obtained sheet-like ingredients are longitudinally cut by the longitudinal cutting teeth 502 to cut the sheet-like ingredients into strips. The width of the strips is determined by the blade spacing of the longitudinal cutting teeth.

[0067] S4. Use the flat cutter 503 to make horizontal circumferential cuts on the strip-shaped ingredients, cutting the strip-shaped ingredients into cubes;

[0068] S5. The diced ingredients are discharged through the discharge channel 3.

[0069] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed.
