Rotary Bracket Noodle Cutter Assembly Shearing Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dough extruders require users to manually cut noodles with scissors, leading to uneven breaks and adhesion issues, resulting in a poor user experience and lack of flexibility in cutting lengths.
Innovation Solution
A noodle cutter assembly featuring a rotary bracket with arms that sleeve the noodle out-coming die, allowing the noodle cutter to slide reciprocally against the outer edges of the die, creating a shearing force for clean cuts without adhesion, and enabling users to control the cutting length by rotating the bracket.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually cut noodles with scissors outside the noodle out-coming holes, then they can cut noodles into needed lengths, but the breaks are uneven and adhesion occurs resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The rotary bracket is divided into multiple arms (first arm, second arm, first reinforcing arm, second reinforcing arm) that work together to provide segmented cutting action around the noodle out-coming die, enabling precise control over the cutting location and smoothness
Solution Approach 2:
The noodle cutter acts as an intermediary component between the rotary bracket and the noodles, providing a controlled shearing action that produces smooth breaks without adhesion, while the rotary bracket serves as an intermediary mechanism that translates rotational motion into reciprocating cutting motion
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually cut noodles with scissors, then they can control cutting length, but the operation is inconvenient and lacks flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The rotary bracket transforms static manual cutting into dynamic reciprocating motion, where the rotation of the bracket automatically controls the cutting length through the rotational angle, providing both convenience and flexibility in adjusting noodle lengths
Solution Approach 2:
The cutting length is controlled by changing the rotational parameter of the rotary bracket, allowing users to adjust the cutting length by rotating the bracket to different angles, thereby achieving versatile length control with convenient operation
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides smooth, even cuts with no adhesion and allows users to freely adjust the cutting length, enhancing the convenience and flexibility of the dough extruder operation.
Implementation Method 1
driving the noodle cutter to slide reciprocally against the outer edge of the noodle out-coming hole, and forming a shearing force between the noodle cutter and the outer edge of the noodle out-coming hole, so that the noodles are evenly sheared and broken under the action of the shearing force
