PRESENTATION OF THE FIGURES

[0013] [Fig.l] is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a cutting device according to the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described in more detail below, with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.

[0015] As shown in [Fig.l], the structure according to one embodiment of the cutting device is shown.

[0016] The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a cutting device, the device comprises a base 1, a support member 2, a control rod 3, a ratchet rack 4, a ratchet 5, a cutter 6, a push plate 7 and a locking member 8; the control rod 3 comprises a hinged end and a handle end at both ends; wherein a support member 2 is fixed on the base 1, a guide groove is provided on the support member 2, and the support member 2 is hinged to the hinged end of the control rod 3 at its top, a rod body of the control rod 3 close to its hinged end is hinged with a body of the ratchet 5, and a claw portion of the ratchet 5 is forced to engage with the ratchet rack 4 by a first spring 9.The thrust plate 7 is fixed at one end of the ratchet rack 4 away from the support member 2, and the ratchet rack 4 (in particular, the middle part of the ratchet rack 4) is arranged in the guide groove; the rod body in the . position close to the end of the handle of the control rod 3 is hinged to a body of the cutter 6, under the action of the second spring 10, the edge of the knife of the cutter 6 is pressed onto the vertical locking member 8, and the locking member 8 is fixed on the support member 2 at its lower part. During the process of swinging the end of the handle of the control rod 3 in two directions, the pawl 5 pushes the ratchet rack 4 to move away from the support member 2 (or towards the locking member 8) in one direction.

[0017] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the process of swinging the handle end of the control rod 3 in two directions, the pawl 5 pushes the ratchet rack 4 away in one direction from the support member 2. The options are: (1) when swinging upwards the handle end of the control rod 3, the pawl 5 pushes the ratchet rack 4 away in one direction from the support member 2; (2) when swinging downwards the handle end of the control rod 3, the pawl 5 pushes the ratchet rack 4 away in one direction from the support member 2.

[0018] In case (1), during the upward swinging process of the control rod 3, the first spring 9 forces the pawl 5 to press the pawl rack 4, the pawl 5 moves forward or toward the locking member 8, and when moving forward, the pawl 5 engages the pawl rack 4, and the pawl rack 4 pushes the push plate 7 to move. The articles to be cut are placed between the push plate 7 and the locking member 8, such as radishes, medicinal products, meat, etc. Once the articles are pushed out of the blocking member 8, i.e. after the control rod 3 has completed its upward movement, the control rod 3 is pressed downward so that the cutter 6 can complete the process of slicing the article.In the process of lifting the control rod 3, although the articles are pushed out of the blocking member 8, the upward movement of the cutter 6 will not be affected by the continuous pushing out of the articles.

[0019] In case (2), when the control rod 3 is pressed, the first spring 9 forces the pawl 5 to press the ratchet rack 4, and the pawl 5 advances or approaches the locking member 8. While advancing, the pawl 5 engages with the ratchet rack 4, and the ratchet rack 4 pushes the push plate 7 to move. The articles to be cut, such as radishes, medicinal products, meat, etc., are placed between the push plate 7 and the locking member 8. After the articles are pushed out of the locking member 8, the cutter 6, which moves downward, is able to complete the process of slicing the articles.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pawl 5 oscillates around its joint, and is constrained by the circular movement of the control rod 3, so that the pawl of the pawl 5 moves quickly and then slowly during the forward stroke. For example, when the control rod 3 is in a range of 50°~30° relative to the base 1 during the downward swing process of the control rod 3, the pawl portion 5 moves a relatively long distance, and when the control rod 3 is in a range of 30°~0° relative to the base 1 during the downward swing process of the control rod 3, the pawl portion 5 moves a relatively short or even negligible distance. In the actual application process, when the control rod 3 is in the range of 50°~30°, the pawl 5 forces the ratchet rack 4 to push forward, and the article is pushed out of the blocking member 8 so that the article with a thickness is exposed to be cut.In the range of 30°~0°, the knife edge of the cutter 6 begins to act on the article to complete the cutting operation, since the stroke of the pawl 5 in this process is relatively short or even negligible, the thickness of the article that continues to be pushed out of the locking member 8 can be neglected, which does not affect the thickness required for slicing the article. Furthermore, since the pressing action of the second spring 10 on the cutter 6 is limited, the continuous pushing of the object does not affect the downward movement of the cutter 6.

[0021] After the articles are pushed forward and pressed and cut, the pawl 5 is manually lifted from the ratchet rack 4, and then the ratchet rack 4 is returned to its original position. Therefore, the device of the present disclosure has a simple structure, and the operation process is not affected by the shape and size of the articles.

[0022] In order to enable the present disclosure to have the dicing and shredding functions in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the device further comprises a cutter head 11, the cutter head 11 being fixed on the locking member 8.In the actual application process, the cutter head 11 should be removably installed on the blocking member 8, and the blades of the cutter head 11 should be adjusted as needed, for example, when it is necessary to dice or shred, the cutter head 11 should be in a configuration in which the blades are arranged horizontally and vertically and intersect, when it is necessary to shred, the cutter head 11 should be in a configuration in which the blades are arranged in parallel, and when it is necessary to cut dough, the cutter head 11 should be in a configuration in which the circular holes of the knives are uniformly distributed.

[0023] The device of the disclosure is simple in structure and convenient in operation, and can realize various functions such as slicing, shredding, dicing, etc. and each operation can be switched at any time, with various functions.

[0024] In another implementation process, in order to reduce the resistance of the device and enhance the stability of the device, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 1 is provided with a guide rail (the view is omitted in the figure); wherein, the bottom of the push plate 7 is arranged on the guide rail. Considering the same, further, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the groove bottom of the guide groove is provided with a roller (the view is omitted in the figure); wherein, the bottom of the ratchet rack 4 is arranged on the roller.

[0025] In order to increase the function of the device of the present disclosure, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the device further comprises a pair of baffles (the view is omitted in the figure), in which a storage groove is formed between the pair of baffles and the base 1; the push plate 7 moves in the storage groove. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, scattered articles and non-directional articles (e.g., peppers, garlic, and flexible articles such as dough, etc.) can be placed in the storage groove for slicing, chopping, mincing, etc.

[0026] The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure, all modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made in the spirit and principle of the present disclosure will be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
