Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shredded green onion cutter, and more specifically, to a shredded green onion cutter having a blade spacing adjustment structure capable of adjusting the blade spacing, a motor output structure that is easy to assemble, and an induction structure that induces the discharge of material. Background Technology

[0002] The scallion shredding machine is configured so that scallions, the main ingredient of the shredded scallions, enter the cutting section through the machine's input port and are processed into the required sliced ​​state.

[0003] However, existing scallion slicers are equipped with only a single set of knives, limiting them to processing scallions to only one thickness. Since knives must be replaced to slice scallions of different thicknesses, this results in user inconvenience, negatively impacts the user experience, and significantly increases operating costs.

[0004] In addition, the knife set was fixed to the body of the shredder, making it inconvenient to clean the inside of the shredder.

[0005] In addition, even if the knife set and the shredder are disassembled, the knife set and the shredder body are precisely assembled, so the user must precisely and accurately align the position of the knife when reassembling after cleaning. In particular, the gearbox output shaft and the connecting member are tightly connected, so the holes must be precisely aligned when assembling the knife set and the output gearbox. Even a slight deviation is not allowed, and if a deviation occurs, assembly will not be possible.

[0006] This inconvenience not only negatively impacts the customer's experience with the shredded green onion cutter but also increases after-sales service costs.

[0007] Meanwhile, cutting machines with a stacked blade structure currently on the market lack a guiding structure to guide the resulting product to the exit when slicing or shredding materials. Consequently, when slicing or shredding materials, some materials get stuck in the blades, affecting the rotation of the blades. Furthermore, if materials get stuck between the blades and are not cleaned in a timely manner, the blades rust. The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention was created to solve the aforementioned problems, and the objective of the present invention is to provide a shredder that can cut materials of different thicknesses by adjusting the distance (gap) between two knife sets, allows for easy removal of material stuck in the blades after use, and simultaneously enables rapid assembly of the drive shaft of the knife set and the output end of the drive mechanism.

[0009] In addition, by allowing the output shaft of the drive mechanism to have a working space, the knife set can be assembled quickly even without precise alignment, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of assembly, and a shredder cutter having a motor output structure that facilitates the assembly of a knife set is provided.

[0010] In addition, the invention provides a knife set that can induce the discharge of cut ingredients and prevent cut ingredients from getting stuck between the blades and affecting the rotation of the knife set. means of solving the problem

Effects of the invention

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, two sets of knives, each having two blades arranged in an alternating manner, are rotatably connected inside a housing, and the gap between the blades of the two sets of knives can be adjusted, thereby having the effect of cutting food ingredients to various thicknesses.

[0036] Specifically, one end of the drive shaft of the first knife set protrudes through the housing and is rotatably connected to the rotary handle, and the rotary handle is connected to the housing by a screw. When the rotary handle rotates relative to the housing, the first knife set is moved axially, thereby adjusting the axial position of the main knife through the screw structure. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the relative position of the first knife set and the second knife set. As a result, during use, the blade gap between the first knife set and the second knife set can be changed simply by rotating the rotary handle, allowing for the slicing of ingredients of various thicknesses.

[0037] In addition, the knife set is equipped with a guide structure that discharges cut ingredients, allowing sliced ​​ingredients to be easily ejected out of the housing and preventing sliced ​​ingredients from getting stuck between the blades and affecting the rotation of the knife set.

The motor output structure includes a connecting mechanism and an output shaft connected to the output end of the external drive mechanism, and the connecting mechanism serves to connect the drive shaft of the knife set and the output shaft of the drive mechanism. The connecting mechanism is provided with a polygonal mounting hole, and the cross-sectional shape of the output shaft is polygonal. When the free end of the output shaft is inserted into the mounting hole of the connecting mechanism, a gap exists between the output shaft and the mounting hole, and the structure is configured so that the output shaft contacts the inner wall of the mounting hole after rotating to a certain angle. By forming a motor output structure with such a gap, the output shaft of the drive mechanism has a movable space, which enables rapid assembly of the knife set and reduces assembly difficulties by eliminating the need to precisely align the drive shaft of the knife set with the output end of the drive mechanism.

[0039] In addition, the knife set is equipped with multiple main knives, and a separator is formed between two adjacent main knives. This separator is mounted on the outside of the drive shaft and is rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The separator serves to guide the sliced ​​material to the discharge port, allowing the material to be discharged smoothly after slicing. This prevents the sliced ​​material from getting stuck between the blades, thereby preventing it from affecting the rotation of the knife set and the operation of the entire machine.

[0046] Hereinafter, a shredded green onion cutter according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 18, a shredded scallion cutter according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body case (2), a driving mechanism (21), a motor output structure, and a blade spacing adjustment structure. The blade spacing adjustment structure includes a housing (1) and two sets of knives (11, 12).

[0049] Inside the housing (1), two knife sets (first knife set (11), second knife set (12)) are arranged in an alternating pattern and connected to rotate. As described below, the blade spacing of the two knife sets is adjustable, and the knife sets are equipped with a guide structure that discharges sliced ​​material out of the housing (1). The guide structure is installed in both the first knife set (11) and the second knife set (12).

[0050] Meanwhile, the output end of the driving mechanism (21) is configured with a motor output structure having a movable space between the drive shaft (13) of one of the knife sets, i.e., the second knife set (12), so that the drive shaft (13) of the knife set, i.e. the second knife set (12), and the output end of the driving mechanism (21) can be quickly assembled.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 1, the driving mechanism (21) and the motor output structure are set within the same main body case (2), and the main body case (2) is equipped with a power button (9) and a lock button (10).

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the separator (112) is composed of an annular part (1121), a guiding part (1122), and a connecting part (1123). The annular part (1121) is connected to the guiding part (1122) and the connecting part (1123), respectively, and the annular part (1121) is mounted outside the drive shaft (13) and is rotatably connected to the drive shaft (13). All connecting parts (1123) protrude outside the main knife (111) and are installed inside the housing (1) via a fixed shaft. The guiding part (1122) serves to guide the sliced ​​material to be discharged to the outside. This allows the cut material to be discharged smoothly through the action of the separator, and prevents some of the cut material from getting stuck between the blades and affecting the rotation of the knife set or the operation of the entire machine.

[0070] A fixing projection (1124) is installed on the end surface of the connecting part (1123) that is close to the main knife (111) (see FIG. 17).

[0071] The guide portion (1122) protrudes outward from the main knife (111) (see FIG. 15).

[0072] A pad (1125) is installed between two adjacent main knives (111), and the pad (1125) is mounted outside the drive shaft (13) and is rotatably connected to the drive shaft (13) (see FIG. 16). A separator plate (112) is mounted outside the pad (1125), and there is a gap between the separator plate (112) and the pad (1125). The thickness of the pad (1125) is thicker than the thickness of the separator plate (112).

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 15, the main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) is positioned to overlap and intersect with the main knife (111) of the first knife set (11). One end of the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) extends out of the housing (1) and is connected to a rotatable handle (18). The handle (18) is connected to the housing (1) by a screw, and when the handle (18) rotates relative to the housing (1), the first knife set (11) moves axially to adjust the gap between the blades of the first knife set (11) and the second knife set (12). By rotating the handle during use, the gap between the blades of the first knife set and the second knife set can be adjusted, allowing for the slicing of materials of various thicknesses.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 11, a sleeve (19) is connected to the outer wall of the housing (1), an internal screw is designed inside the sleeve (19), and an external screw that interlocks with the internal screw of the sleeve (19) is on the outer wall of the rotary handle (18).

[0075] The rotary handle (18) comprises a thick shaft (182) and a thin shaft (183) composed of two interconnected parts. The thin shaft (183) comprises an inner shaft (1831) and an outer shaft (1832) arranged coaxially, and the outer shaft (1832) is mounted on the outside of the inner shaft (1831). An external screw is installed on the outer wall of the outer shaft (1832), and the inner shaft (1831) is fixedly connected to the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) protruding from the housing (1). A spring is mounted between the inner shaft (1831) and the outer shaft (1832) of the thin shaft of the rotary handle, and this spring is mounted on the outside of the inner shaft (1831), and the inner shaft (1831) and the outer shaft (1832) tighten the spring. At this time, the elasticity of the spring is greater than the torque when the external screw rotates. Therefore, the rotating handle (18) is kept from moving during the process of slicing the material.

[0076] The rotary handle (18) also includes a screw (181), and the inside of the thick shaft (182) is hollow. The bolt body of the screw (181) is inserted into one end of the drive shaft protruding from the housing (1) and is connected by a screw to the inner wall of the drive shaft of the first knife set (11), and the screw head of the screw (181) contacts the inner wall of the thick shaft (182).

[0077] Referring to FIG. 14, the separator plate (112) of the second knife set (12) forms a guide passage together with the separator plate (112) of the first knife set (11). The diameter of the outlet of the guide passage is larger than the diameter of the material inlet. Since the size of the outlet is larger than the size of the material inlet, the sliced ​​material can be guided more effectively to the outlet.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 18, there are two auxiliary knives (5) located just above the point where the main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) and the main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) intersect. The auxiliary knives (5) are L-shaped, and both auxiliary knives (5) are positioned perpendicular to the main knife (111), with the blades of the auxiliary knives (5) facing the material input port.

[0079] A connecting hole (1111) is drilled in the main knife (111) so that the drive shaft (13) can pass through, and the shape of the connecting hole (1111) matches the shape of the drive shaft (13) (see FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 for specific shapes). As a result, the main knife (111) can rotate together with the drive shaft (13).

[0080] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 15, the housing (1) is provided with a first through hole that allows one end of the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) to move (bearing, slide). The other end of the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) is connected to a first connector (14-1) connected to an external drive device, and the outer wall of the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) is connected to a first nut (113). The main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) is positioned between the connector (14) and the first nut (113) connected to the drive shaft (13), and is in close contact with the connector (14) and the first nut (113) connected to the drive shaft (13), respectively.

[0081] The main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) and the second knife set (12) forms a fit with each drive shaft (131).

[0082] The housing (1) has a second through hole installed to allow the connector to move (bearing, slide).

[0083] Referring to FIG. 11, a first side plate (6) and a second side plate (7) are each placed on the inner wall of the housing (1) on both sides of the housing (1). One end of the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) passes through the first side plate (6) and extends outside the housing (1), and a connector (14) connected to the drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) passes through the second side plate (7) and extends outside the housing (1). Both the first nut (113) and the main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) are located between the first side plate (6) and the second side plate (7), and a first storage opening (61) that is recessed inward is formed on the side of the first side plate (6) that is close to the first nut (113). The first nut (113) is located inside the first storage compartment (61), and there is a gap between the first nut (113) and the inner wall of the first storage compartment (61). By installing the first nut (113) and the first connector (14-1) of the first knife set (11), the main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) is fixed, and the main knife (111) of the first knife set (11) and the drive shaft (13) are integrated.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 11, a second nut (121) is screwed to the outer wall of one end of the drive shaft (13) of the second knife set (12), and the opposite end of the drive shaft (13) of the second knife set (12) is connected to a second connector (14-1) that is connected to an external drive device. The main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) is positioned between the second connection connector (14-1) and the second nut (121) connected to the drive shaft (13), and is in close contact with the second connector (14-2) and the second nut (121), respectively, connected to the drive shaft (13). Both the second nut (121) and the main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) are positioned between the first side plate (6) and the second side plate (7), and the second connector (14-2) passes through the second side plate (7) and comes out to the outside of the housing (1). A second storage opening (62) that is recessed inward is formed on the side near the second nut (121) that is in contact with the first side plate (6), and the second nut (121) is located inside the first storage opening (61), and there is a gap between the second nut (121) and the inner wall of the second storage opening (62). By installing the second nut (121) and the second connector (14-2) of the second knife set (12), the main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) is fixed, and the main knife (111) of the second knife set (12) and the drive shaft (13) are integrated.

[0085] The drive shaft (13) of the first knife set (11) and the first nut (113) are fixedly connected by a half-screw, and the drive shaft (13) of the second knife set (12) and the second nut (121) are fixedly connected by a normal screw.

[0087] During the entire process, a knife set (a first knife set (11) and a second knife set (12)) is installed, and a transparent cover (8) is installed. As the four latches of the transparent cover engage with the four latches of the main body case (2), the contacts on the transparent cover (8) activate a micro switch. Subsequently, when the power button (9) is pressed, the main control panel operates the drive motor (211), and the power of the drive motor (211) is transmitted through the gearbox (212) to the drive mechanism and then transmitted to the first knife set (11) and the second knife set (12). The material enters the interior of the housing (1) through the input port (81), and the material is sliced ​​in the knife set.

[0088] When cleaning the blades, press the power button (9) to stop the machine, press the lock button (10) to remove the transparent cover (8), and then remove the knife set (first knife set (11) and second knife set (12)). Then clean the knife set and the transparent cover (8), and the housing does not need to be cleaned.

[0090] As described above, the present invention provides two cross-arranged knife sets rotatably connected inside a housing, and the blade spacing between the two knife sets can be adjusted, thereby offering the advantage of being able to slice materials of various thicknesses. Additionally, the knife sets are provided with a guide structure to discharge the sliced ​​material out of the housing, which prevents the sliced ​​material from getting stuck between the blades and hindering rotation. Furthermore, a motor output structure is provided between the output end of the driving mechanism and the drive shaft of one of the knife sets, allowing the output end of the driving mechanism to have a working space. This enables rapid assembly of the drive shaft of the knife set and the output end of the driving mechanism, and significantly reduces the difficulty of assembly by eliminating the need for precision alignment.

[0091] Meanwhile, the axial position of the knife set can be adjusted through a screw structure, and accordingly, the relative position of the first knife set and the second knife set can be adjusted. Accordingly, when in use, the gap between the blades of the first knife set and the second knife set is adjusted simply by rotating the rotary handle, so that materials of various thicknesses can be cut.

[0092] In addition, the thickness of the slices of the ingredients can be controlled by adjusting the gap between the main knives by changing the thickness of the pad installed between two adjacent main knives.

[0093] Meanwhile, the sliced ​​material can be smoothly discharged through the action of the separator plate, preventing some of the sliced ​​material from getting stuck between the blades and obstructing the rotation of the knife set, thereby ensuring that the operation of the entire machine is not affected.

[0095] The above description describes the shredded green onion cutter according to the present invention. cast As this is merely one embodiment for implementation, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the technical spirit of the present invention extends to the scope in which various modifications can be made by anyone with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the invention belongs, without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed in the following patent claims.
