The adjusting member 45 is slidably mounted on the tool post 31 in the food cutting machine 100 of the present application, and is slidably connected to the tray 41, since the tray 41 is used for carrying the food thrown from the feeding port 200, when the adjusting member 45 slides on the tool post 31 along the first direction (X1/X2), the tray 41 can be driven to move along the second direction (Z), so as to adjust the thickness of the cutting tools 33 and 35 for cutting the food, and enable the food to adapt to the tastes of different people.

The food cutting machine 100 will be further described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the food cutting machine 100 may further include a frame 10 and a driving structure 50.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, a gantry 10 includes a stage 11. The feeding structure 20, the knife group structure 30, the tray structure 40 and the driving structure 50 are all installed on the stage 11. In one embodiment, the bottom of the stage 11 is in direct contact with a platform such as a floor, a table, or the like; in another embodiment, the frame 10 may further include a supporting member 13 connected to the carrier 11 for supporting the carrier 11 away from the bottom surface, so as to adapt to the height of the operator and facilitate the operation, and prevent the structure on the carrier 11 from directly contacting the carrying surface (ground or table surface) and causing unclean or damp damage.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the frame 10 may further include a mounting member 15 disposed on the carrier 11. Correspondingly, the tool apron 31 may further include a guide 317, and the guide 317 is slidably connected to the mounting member 15 to slidably mount the tool set structure 30 to the stage 11. In one embodiment, the mounting member 15 is a slide rail, and the guide 317 is a pulley, the pulley cooperating with the slide rail to enable the guide 317 to slide relative to the mounting member 15, thereby enabling the knife assembly structure 30 to slide relative to the carrier 11; in another embodiment, the mounting member may be a pulley, and the guiding member 317 may be a sliding rail, which is not limited herein.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the mounting members 15 (slide rails) are respectively disposed on the first side 118 and the second side 119 of the carrier 11, the two guide members 317 (pulleys) are respectively disposed on the first side 318 and the second side 319 of the tool apron 31 of the tool assembly structure 30, the two pulleys on the first side 318 of the tool apron 31 are engaged with the slide rails on the first side 118 of the carrier 11, and the two pulleys on the second side 319 of the tool apron 31 are engaged with the slide rails on the second side 119 of the carrier 11, so that the tool assembly structure 30 is slidably mounted on the carrier 11. The first side 318 and the second side 319 opposite to the knife holder 31 are respectively provided with two pulleys, so that the knife set structure 30 can be ensured to stably slide along the slide rail, the shaking of the knife set structure 30 in the sliding process is reduced, the reciprocating movement of the knife tool is kept stable, and the shaking during the food cutting process is avoided. Alternatively, pulleys may be disposed on the first side 118 and the second side 119 of the carrier 11, respectively, and slide rails may be disposed on the first side 318 and the second side 319 of the tool apron 31, respectively, and the pulleys on the corresponding sides may be engaged with the slide rails.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the carrier 11 has a through hole 110, and the feeding port 200 of the feeding structure 20 corresponds to the through hole 110. The tray structure 40 is located below the through hole 110, and a portion of the food located at the feeding port 200 protrudes from the through hole 110 and is carried by the tray structure 40 below the through hole 110. In one embodiment, the aperture of the through hole 110 is the same as the aperture of the dispensing opening 200, and the circumference of the through hole 110 and the circumference of the dispensing opening 200 are both capable of limiting the food to move with the knife holder 31 relative to the dispensing opening 200. In another embodiment, the aperture of the through hole 110 is different from the aperture of the feeding port 200, and the smaller aperture of the through hole 110 and the feeding port 200 is used to limit the food to move together with the knife holder 31 relative to the feeding port 200, for example, the aperture of the through hole 110 is larger than the aperture of the feeding port 200, or the aperture of the through hole 110 is smaller than the aperture of the feeding port 200, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 includes a feeding port 200 for feeding food. The feeding structure 20 further comprises a first feeding member 21 and a second feeding member 23 for accommodating food, the first feeding member 21 is provided with a first feeding port 211, and the second feeding member 23 is provided with a second feeding port 231. The first and second feeding members 21 and 23 are used for receiving food, so that a user does not need to hold the food to extend into the feeding port 200 for cutting. The provision of two feed ports 200 enables food cutter 100 to simultaneously cut two servings of food delivered from first feed port 211 and second feed port 231, or to selectively cut one serving of food delivered from first feed port 211 or second feed port 231. For example, the food cutter 100 can cut food thrown from the first feeding port 211 only when the food is thrown from the first feeding port 211, or when the food is thrown from both the first feeding port 211 and the second feeding port 231 but the second feeding port 231 is not opened.

In some embodiments, the first feeding port 211 and the second feeding port 231 correspond to different cutting modes respectively. For example, the food extending from the first feeding port 211 and carried on the tray structure 40 corresponds to the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35, and the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 can shred the food together corresponding to a cutting mode, for example, the cutter moves once along with the cutter seat 31; the food which is carried by the tray structure 40 and extends from the second feeding opening 231 or the first feeding opening 211 corresponds to the first knife 33, but is offset from the second knife 35, which corresponds to another cutting method, for example, the knife follows the knife seat 31 once, and the first knife 33 can slice the food separately. Thus, there are at least two cutting modes of the food cutter 100. Of course, if the second feeding port 231 and the first feeding port 211 are filled with food, and the food extending from the first feeding port 211 and carried on the tray structure 40 corresponds to the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35, and the food extending from the second feeding port 231 and carried on the tray structure 40 corresponds to the first cutter 33, but is staggered from the second cutter 35, the food in the first feeding port 211 can be cut into shreds, and the food in the second feeding port 231 can be cut into slices, so that the food cutting machine 100 can cut the food in two cutting manners at the same time.

In one embodiment, the first and second dispensing ports 211, 231 are of the same caliber. In another embodiment, the first feeding port 211 and the second feeding port 231 have different calibers, so that the food cutting machine 100 is compatible with different sizes of food, for example, the calibers of the first feeding port 211 is larger than the calibers of the second feeding port 231, or the calibers of the first feeding port 211 is smaller than the calibers of the second feeding port 231, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the carrier 11 has a first through hole 111 and a second through hole 113, the first feeding port 211 corresponds to the first through hole 111, and the second feeding port 231 corresponds to the second through hole 113. In one embodiment, the first via 111 is spaced apart from the second via 113. In another embodiment, the first through hole 111 communicates with the second through hole 113, which is equivalent to the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 113 communicating to form a larger through hole 110 (shown in fig. 4), the area of the larger through hole 110 corresponding to the first feeding port 211 is the first through hole 111, and the area corresponding to the second feeding port 231 is the second through hole 113.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 may further include a first partition (not shown), the first feeding member 21 has a first guide groove (not shown) formed on an inner wall thereof, and the first partition is installed in the first guide groove and is used for dividing the first feeding member 21 into a plurality of feeding areas 28. Therefore, multiple food can be thrown into the same throwing part, or different sizes of food can be thrown into the space separated by the first partition plate. For example, when cutting potatoes, the first partition is taken out of the first guide groove, so that the space inside the first throwing member 21 can accommodate one potato. When the cutting carrot, the carrot is thinner than the potato, can insert first baffle at first guide slot and separate into two with first throwing material piece 21 and throw material district 28, and every throws material district 28 and respectively puts in a carrot, so, can cut two carrots simultaneously, can also avoid the carrot to rock in first throwing material piece 21.

Similarly, in some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 may further include a second partition 27, the inner wall of the second feeding member 23 is provided with a second guide groove 233, and the second partition 27 is installed in the second guide groove 233 and is used for dividing the second feeding member 23 into a plurality of feeding areas 28.

In certain embodiments, the dosing zone 28 has a rectangular or trapezoidal cross-section along the dosing direction. The feeding direction is a vertical direction relative to the feeding port 200 (the first feeding port 211 or the second feeding port 231, the same applies below) or a direction inclined relative to the vertical direction, that is, the longitudinal section of the feeding area 28 is rectangular or trapezoidal. In the case that the longitudinal section of the feeding area 28 is rectangular, the extending direction of the inner wall of the guide groove (the first guide groove or the second guide groove 233, the same below) is vertical, the partition (the first partition or the second partition 27, the same below) partitions the feeding member (the first feeding member 21 or the second feeding member 23, the same below) in the vertical direction, and the food extending into the feeding port 200 along the partition is vertically carried on the tray structure 40, as shown in fig. 6. In the case of a trapezoidal longitudinal section of the feed zone 28, the guide grooves are inclined in the direction of extension of the inner wall relative to the vertical, the partition separates the feed elements in the direction inclined relative to the vertical, and the food which extends along the partition into the feed opening 200 is carried obliquely relative to the vertical on the tray structure 40. The food items cut by the tray structure 40, which is carried obliquely to the vertical direction, may be cut longer than food items cut by the tray structure 40, which is carried vertically, for example, longer pieces, strips, strings, or blocks of food items.

In some embodiments, the feeding structure 20 may further include a pressing member (not shown). The material pressing piece is used for extending into the first feeding piece 21 and/or the second feeding piece 23 so as to push food to move towards the first feeding port 211 and/or the second feeding port 231, meanwhile, the food to be cut can be fixed, cutting force can be applied to the food by the cutter conveniently, cutting efficiency is improved, and meanwhile cutting quality can be improved. For example, when the first feeding member 21 is used to feed potatoes for cutting, after the portion of the potatoes carried by the tray structure 40 is cut, the potatoes are pushed downward by the pressing member to push the potatoes toward the first feeding port 211, so that the portion of the potatoes to be cut collides with the tray structure 40 to wait for the next cutting.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the tool set structure 30 includes a tool seat 31, and a first tool 33 and a second tool 35 disposed on the tool seat 31. The lower end of the food thrown from the feed opening 200 is carried by the tray structure 40, and when the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 reciprocate relative to the feed opening 200 together with the cutter holder 31, the cutter (the first cutter 33 alone, or the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 together) cuts the portion of the food carried by the tray structure 40, and the food is restricted by the structure at the feed opening 200 and does not move relative to the feed opening 200 together with the cutter holder 31. After the portion of the food carried by the tray structure 40 is cut, the cut food is discharged from the discharge hole due to the movement of the knife seat 31, and the remaining uncut portion of the food is carried by the tray structure 40 and is cut by the knife along with the reciprocating movement of the knife seat 31.

The tool holder 31 may include a body 311, an accommodating portion 313, and a loading portion 315. The body 311 has a slot 3111 and a notch 3115 on the same side, and the slot 3111 and the notch 3115 are spaced from each other. The drive structure 50 extends partially into the chute 3111. The receiving portion 313 extends from the periphery 31151 of the notch 3115, and both the tray structure 40 and the second cutter 35 are disposed in the receiving portion 313. The loading portion 315 is connected to the body 311 and is positioned in the notch 3115, and the first tool 33 is detachably attached to the loading portion 315.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the guiding member 317 is disposed on the body 311. In one embodiment, the number of guides 317 is 4, and 2 guides 317 are provided on opposite sides of the body 311. The guide 317 is slidably connected to a mounting member 15 provided on the stage 11 so that the tool group structure 30 is slidably mounted on the stage 11. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the number of mounting members 15 is 4, and two mounting members 15 may be provided on the first side 118 and the second side 119 of the stage 11, respectively, and the guide member 317 may be provided on the first side 318 and the second side 319 of the tool holder 31, respectively, and the mounting member 15 on the corresponding side may be engaged with the guide member 317.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the receiving portion 313 includes two opposite side walls 3131, the two side walls 3131 extend from the periphery 31151 of the notch 3115 and enclose a receiving cavity 31310, and a portion of the tray structure 40 and the second knife 35 are located in the receiving cavity 31310.

Specifically, in some embodiments, each side wall 3131 is provided with a mounting portion 31317 to which the second knife 35 is mounted 31317. In one embodiment, the mounting portion 31317 is an opening, and the upright knife assembly 353 passes through the openings of the two side walls 3131, so that the second knife 35 is mounted on the mounting portion 31317.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the receiving portion 313 may further include a bottom wall 3133 connecting the two side walls 3131 for carrying the tray structure 40.

With continued reference to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the loading portion 315 is provided with a first loading hole 3151, the first tool 33 is provided with a second loading hole 3351, the first loading hole 3151 is aligned with the second loading hole 3351, and a screw is inserted through the first loading hole 3151 and the second loading hole 3351 to detachably mount the first tool 33 on the loading portion 315, so that the first tool 33 is convenient to maintain or replace. Of course, in other embodiments, the first knife 33 may be detachably mounted on the loading portion 315 in a snap-fit manner, or may be fixedly mounted on the loading portion 315 by gluing or welding, so that the mounting is more stable and the first knife cannot fall off due to the reverse force when cutting the food.

The first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 cut differently. For example, the first cutter 33 is used to cut the food into a sheet shape, and the second cutter 35 is used to cut the food into a bar shape; for another example, the first cutter 33 can cut food transversely to slice food, the second cutter 35 can cut food longitudinally to cooperate with the first cutter 33 to shred food, and so on, without limitation.

When the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 reciprocate relative to the feeding port 200, the food can be cut by one of the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 or by both the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 by adjusting the relative positions of the food and the cutters, so as to change the manner of cutting the food. For example, the food is offset from the second cutter 35 so that the food is cut only by the first cutter 33 while the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 reciprocate with respect to the feeding port 200, so that the food is cut into a shape corresponding to that when cut only by the first cutter 33. First cutter 33 and second cutter 35 set up in blade holder 31, and blade holder 31 receives drive structure 50 drive and reciprocating motion, realizes automatic cutting food, and easy operation can use manpower sparingly.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 7, in some embodiments, the loading portion 315 is parallel to the cross section of the first feeding member 21 or the second feeding member 23, and the cutting direction of the first cutter 33 installed on the loading portion 315 is parallel to the discharging direction from the feeding port 200, so as to cut food transversely.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the second tool 35 includes a knife assembly 353 and a plurality of knife sets 351, the knife assembly 353 is mounted on the knife holder 31, the knife sets 351 are mounted on the knife assembly 353, the knife sets 351 have different cutting apertures for food, and the knife assembly 353 is used for driving the knife sets 351 to rotate to switch the knife sets 351 for cutting food.

Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, each blade group 351 includes a plurality of blades 352 spaced apart from each other, and each blade 352 cuts in a direction different from the cutting direction of the first knife 33. In some embodiments, the first knife 33 is used to cut food in the transverse direction and the knife set 351 of the second knife 35 is used to cut food in the longitudinal direction. Referring to fig. 4, the second cutter 35 is closer to the feeding port 200 than the first cutter 33, when the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 jointly cut the food, the plurality of blades 352 of the cutter group 351 of the second cutter 35 longitudinally cut the food, leaving a plurality of spaced longitudinal cuts on the food, and the first cutter 33 transversely cuts the portion of the food having the longitudinal cuts to cut off the portion having the longitudinal cuts. Thus, under the combined action of the first knife 33 and the second knife 35, the food can be cut into strips (or threads). In one embodiment, the pieces of food cut into slices are stacked and put into the feeding port 200 again while standing on the right (i.e., each piece of food has the same thickness direction as the cutting direction of the first cutter 33), and the slices of food can be cut into pieces or diced by cutting together the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35. In yet another embodiment, the food items cut into strips are caged together and immediately plunged into the feed opening 200 again (i.e. the length of each food item is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the first knife 33), and the strip of food items can be diced or cubed by the individual cutting of the first knife 33.

In some embodiments, the blades 352 of different blade groups 351 are of different densities. The second tool 35 has a plurality of coarse and fine cutting steps, and different coarse and fine cutting steps correspond to different cutting calibers. The cutting diameter of the cutter group 351 corresponds to the thickness of the food to be cut into strips. For example, the cutting apertures include a first aperture and a second aperture, cutting at the first cutting aperture corresponds to slicing food into strips, and cutting at the second cutting aperture corresponds to slicing food into finer strips, such as shredding food. The food cutting machine 100 of the present application can cut with different cutting calibers by switching the cutter group 351 for cutting food.

In one embodiment, the blades 352 of each blade set 351 are all different in density, with each density blade 352 corresponding to a coarse and fine cutting step. For example, the spacing between the blades 352 of the knife group 351 includes 3.0mm, 1.5mm, and 1.0mm, which correspond to a 3.0mm cutting position (the width of the cut food bar is 3.0mm, the same applies below), a 1.5mm cutting position, and a 1.0mm cutting position, respectively.

In yet another embodiment, the plurality of blade sets 351 include blade sets 351 having blades 352 that are the same density, and the blades 351 having blades 352 that are the same density have different cutting edges. For example, in two blade sets 351 with blades 352 having the same density, the blades 352 of one blade set 351 have a saw-toothed edge, and the blades 352 of the other blade set 351 have a common edge. Therefore, the cutter sets 351 with different cutting edges can be used for cutting food with different materials at the same thickness cutting gear.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the tray structure 40 disposed in the accommodating portion 313 shields the second cutter 35, and the tray structure 40 includes a cutter exit area 415, and the cutter exit area 415 is provided with a cutter exit 4151. Referring to fig. 8, the upright knife assembly 353 can drive the knife sets 351 to rotate so that the blades 352 of one knife set 351 extend out of the knife outlet 4151, and the knife set 351 can cut food. In this way, the vertical knife unit 353 can rotate relative to the knife holder 31 to switch the knife group 351 extending from the knife exit 4151, thereby switching the thickness cutting position of the second knife 35.

In some embodiments, the coarse and fine cutting positions include a non-cutting position, and each of the knife groups 351 cannot extend out of the knife outlet 4151 when the vertical knife assembly 353 rotates to a certain position (angle) relative to the knife holder 31 to switch the coarse and fine cutting positions of the second knife 35 to the non-cutting position. That is, each knife group 351 is shielded from cutting food by the tray structure 40. In this way, in the non-cutting position, only the first knife 33 can cut food while the knife holder 31 is moved back and forth relative to the dispensing opening 200. In one embodiment, the no-cutting gear is a slicing gear, and the food cutter 100 can slice food in a case where only the first cutter 33 can cut the food. When the food is required to be cut into strips, the second cutter 35 can be switched from a non-cutting gear to other coarse and fine cutting gears, so that one cutter set 351 of the second cutter 35 extends out of the cutter outlet 4151, and the food is cut into strips under the combined action of the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, when the upright knife assembly 353 is pulled outward or pressed inward relative to the knife holder 31, the upright knife assembly 353 can rotate relative to the knife holder 31 to switch the knife group 351 extending from the knife outlet 4151.

Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 12, in some embodiments, the knife assembly 353 includes a fitting member 3531, a mounting rod 3533, an operating member 3537 and a resilient member 3538. The fitting 3531 is mounted to the holder 31. The mounting rod 3533 is inserted through the fitting 3531, and the blade 352 is mounted to the mounting rod 3533. The operating member 3537 is connected to the fitting member 3531 and is exposed from the holder 31 for gripping to be pulled out or pressed inward. The elastic member 3538 is provided between the fitting member 3531 and the operating member 3537, and provides an elastic force for returning the operating member 3537 when the operating member 3537 is pulled outward or pressed inward.

Specifically, in some embodiments, fitting 3531 is mounted to mounting portion 31317 located within receiving portion 313. In one embodiment, the mounting portion 31317 is an opening formed in two opposite side walls 3131 of the receiving portion 313, and the fitting member 3531 includes two openings respectively formed through the two side walls 3131.

The mounting rod 3533 extends through and connects the two fittings 3531. One or more mounting rods 3533 may be provided, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the mounting rod 3533 includes a first mounting rod 35331 and a second mounting rod 35333.

The number of the operating members 3537 is one or two, and referring to fig. 6, the operating members 3537 are exposed from the outer side of the side wall 3131 to be held by a user. Referring to fig. 7 and 11, in some embodiments, the number of the operating members 3537 is one, and the operating members are connected to the fitting member 3531 at one end of the mounting rod 3533, and in this case, the knife assembly 353 further includes a limiting member 3539 connected to the fitting member 3531 at the other end of the mounting rod 3533, i.e., located at the opposite side of the operating members 3537. The restricting member 3539 serves to restrict the position of the fitting member 3531 to prevent the fitting member 3531 from being disengaged from the mounting portion 31317 by moving the fitting member 3531 when the operating member 3537 is pulled outward or pressed inward.

Referring to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the operating part 3537 may include an operating base 35373 and an operating part 35375 protruding from the operating base 35373, the operating part 35375 is used for being held by a user, so that the user can easily pull or press the operating part 3537 outwards, and the user can easily hold the operating part 35375 to drive the operating part 3537 to rotate, so as to drive the assembling part 3531 and the mounting rod 3533 to rotate relative to the knife holder 31, thereby switching the knife tackle 351. In some embodiments, the surface of the operation portion 35375 may be provided with anti-slip lines to increase the friction of the grip and facilitate the grip.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the operating base 35373 of the operating member 3537 is slidably disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting member 3531. Specifically, the fitting 3531 is provided with a receiving hole 35313. The vertical knife assembly 353 further comprises a limiting rod 35351, the limiting rod 35351 is accommodated in the accommodating hole 35313 and is spaced from the mounting rod 3533 and the blade 352, and the limiting rod 35351 is used for limiting the blade 352 to swing when the food is cut.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, in an embodiment, the elastic member 3538 is sleeved on the limiting rod 35351 and is at least partially received in the receiving hole 35313, and two ends of the elastic member 3538 are respectively connected to the operating member 3537 and the mounting member 3531. Referring to fig. 11 and 13, in another embodiment, the elastic member 3538 is sleeved on an outer wall of the mounting member 3531, and two ends of the elastic member 3538 are connected to the operating member 3537 and the mounting member 3531, respectively. And are not intended to be limiting herein.

Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 12, in an embodiment, when the operating member 3537 is in the reset position, the elastic member 3538 provides an elastic force toward the inner side of the side wall 3131, so that the operating member 3537 abuts against the side wall 3131, and the pressure of the operating member 3537 on the side wall 3131 limits the rotation of the knife stand assembly 353 relative to the knife holder 31. When it is desired to rotate the upright knife assembly 353, the user can pull the operating member 3537 outward to pull the operating member 3537 away from the side wall 3131 against the elastic force of the elastic member 3538 to release the rotational restriction of the counter knife assembly 353.

Referring to fig. 9 and 14, the operation base 35373 of the operation member 3537 is provided with a lock opening 35379, and correspondingly, the side wall 3131 is provided with a lock portion 31315, and when the operation member 3537 is at the reset position, the lock opening 35379 cooperates with the lock portion 31315 to limit the rotation of the upright knife assembly 353 relative to the knife holder 31. When it is desired to rotate the sharpener assembly 353, the user can pull the operating member 3537 outwardly away from the latch 31315 to disengage the latch port 35379 from the latch 31315, allowing the sharpener assembly 353 to rotate relative to the tool holder 31. In some embodiments, the number of the locking openings 35379 includes a plurality, and each locking opening 35379 corresponds to one coarse and fine adjustment gear position.

In yet another embodiment, the resilient member 3538 provides a resilient force toward the outside of the side wall 3131 when the operating member 3537 is in the reset position, such that the operating member 3537 is spaced apart from the side wall 3131. Referring to fig. 8, a locking portion 31315 protrudes downward from a peripheral edge 31151 of the notch 3115 of the body 311, and is close to a mounting portion 31317 of the side wall 3131 and spaced apart from the side wall 3131. In this manner, when operating member 3537 is in the reset position, lock opening 35379 cooperates with lock 31315 at a location spaced from side wall 3131 to limit rotation of upright knife assembly 353 relative to knife seat 31. When it is desired to rotate the sharpener assembly 353, the user can press the operating member 3537 inwardly, for example, to press the operating member 3537 inwardly to a position where the lock opening 35379 is located at a space between the lock portion 31315 and the side wall 3131, to disengage the lock opening 35379 from the lock portion 31315, thereby allowing the sharpener assembly 353 to rotate relative to the tool holder 31.

In some embodiments, a portion of the first cutter 33 corresponds to the mounting rod 3533, such that the first cutter 33 can cooperate with the second cutter 35 to slice food; another portion of the first cutter 33 corresponds to the fitting member 3531 so that the first cutter 33 of the other portion only functions alone for slicing food. Referring to fig. 1, 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the first cutter 33 can slide to a position below the first feeding port 211 corresponding to the mounting rod 3533, and the first cutter 33 can slide to a position below the second feeding port 231 corresponding to the mounting member 3531. In this way, the food thrown in by the first feeding port 211 can be cut by the first cutter 33 and the second cutter 35 together, or only the first cutter 33 when the second cutter 35 is in a non-cutting shift position; the food thrown in the second feed opening 231 is cut only by the first cutter 33. Thus, the food cutter 100 can slice both of the food items simultaneously, or slice one of the food items and slice the other food item simultaneously.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, blade 352 is removably mounted to mounting rod 3533, e.g., blade 352 is received on mounting rod 3533, coupled to mounting rod 3533 via a threaded arrangement, etc., to facilitate replacement of blade 352. In some embodiments, blade 352 is fixedly mounted to mounting rod 3533, e.g., blade 352 is mounted to mounting rod 3533 by welding, riveting, etc., to reduce the amount of wobble of blade 352 and ensure that blade 352 cuts food items stably.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the plurality of blade sets 351 includes a first blade set 3511 and a second blade set 3513. The double-edged blades 352 and the single-edged blades 352 are alternately sleeved on the first mounting rod 35331 at intervals to form a first blade group 3511, and the double-edged blades 352 are alternately sleeved on the second mounting rod 35333 at intervals to form a second blade group 3513.

That is, the first blade group 3511 has both double-edged blades 352 and single-edged blades 352, while the double-edged blades 352 of the first blade group 3511 are also the blades 352 that make up the second blade group 3513. Wherein one edge of the double-edged blade 352 is part of the first blade set 3511 and the other blade 352 is part of the second blade set 3513. Thus, the spacing between the double-edged blades 352 of the second blade group 3513 and the first blade group 3511 is the same, but single-edged blades 352 are also disposed between the double-edged blades 352 of the first blade group 3511, such that the density of the blades 352 of the first blade group 3511 is less than the density of the blades 352 of the second blade group 3513, such that the first blade group 3511 has a finer cutting caliber.

In some embodiments, the single-edged blade 352 is sleeved on the first mounting bar 35331 and clamped to the second mounting bar 35333 to ensure that the single-edged blade 352 does not rotate relative to the first mounting bar 35331.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the second tool 35 has three rough and fine cutting steps. When the first cutter group 3511 extends out of the cutter outlet 4151, the second cutter 35 is in the first rough and fine cutting position. When the second cutter set 3513 extends out of the cutter outlet 4151, the second cutter 35 is in a second rough and fine cutting position, and the cutting opening of the second cutting position is thicker than the cutting opening of the first cutting position. When neither the first knife block 3511 nor the second knife block 3513 extends from the knife outlet 4151, the second knife 35 is in the no-cut position. In this way, by adjusting the thickness cutting gear of the second cutter 35 by rotating the vertical cutter assembly 353, the thickness of the food to be cut can be adjusted, and the food cutter 100 can slice only the food without cutting the food.

Referring to fig. 4 and 7, in some embodiments, a driving mechanism 50 is connected to the tool post 31 for driving the tool post 31 and the tray mechanism 40 to reciprocate relative to the feeding port 200 to drive the first tool 33 and the second tool 35 to reciprocate relative to the feeding port 200, wherein the first tool 33 and the second tool 35 are cut in different manners. The driving mechanism 50 includes a motor 53 and a transmission member 55. The motor 53 is provided on the stage 11. The transmission member 55 is connected to the motor 53 and the tool holder 31, respectively. The motor 53 is configured to drive the transmission member 55 to move, so that the transmission member 55 drives the tool holder structure 30 and the tray structure 40 to reciprocate together along a first direction (X1/X2) relative to the feeding opening 200, wherein the first direction (X1/X2) includes a forward direction X1 of the first direction and a reverse direction X2 of the first direction. The transmission member 55 drives the tool apron 31 to move along the forward direction X1 of the first direction to make the tool approach the material inlet 200 and cut food, and drives the tool apron 31 to move along the reverse direction X2 of the first direction to make the tool away from the material inlet 200, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the tool. In some embodiments, the driving structure 50 may further include a decorative case 51 mounted on the stage 11, and the motor 53 is accommodated in the decorative case 51.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the body 311 of the tool holder 31 is provided with a sliding groove 3111 substantially along a second direction (Y1/Y2), which is different from the first direction (X1/X2) (Y1/Y2). The sliding groove 3111 may be arc-shaped or straight. The transmission 55 may include a crank 553 and a slide 551. The first end of the crank 553 is connected to the motor 53, and the slider 551 is disposed at the second end of the crank 553 and extends into the chute 3111. Under the condition that the motor 53 drives the crank 553 to rotate, the crank 553 drives the slide 551 to slide reciprocally in the chute 3111, so as to drive the knife holder 31 and the tray structure 40 to move reciprocally together along the first direction (X1/X2) relative to the feeding port 200.

In certain embodiments, the second direction (Y1/Y2) is perpendicular to the first direction (X1/X2). The length direction of the loading portion 315 and the extending direction of the sliding groove 3111 are both the second direction (Y1/Y2), so that the space occupied by the sliding groove 3111 in the main body 311 can be saved, and the size of the main body 311 can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the transmission 55 further comprises a grip portion (not shown) connected to the crank 553. In the case that the food cutting machine 100 is not powered on, the user can manually drive the grip portion to rotate the crank 553, so as to drive the slider 551 to slide in the chute 3111 in a reciprocating manner, such that the knife seat 31 and the tray structure 40 move in a reciprocating manner along a first direction (X1/X2) relative to the dispensing opening 200.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, a tray structure 40 is connected to the knife holder 31 for carrying food. The tray structure 40 includes a tray 41 and an adjusting member 45, and the tray 41 is mounted on the mounting portion 313 and is used for carrying food thrown from the feeding port 200. The adjusting member 45 is slidably mounted on the tool post 31 and slidably connected to the tray 41, and the adjusting member 45 is used for adjusting the thickness of the food cut by the first cutter 33.

In some embodiments, the tray 41 includes a bearing portion 41a and an extending wall 41b extending from the bearing portion 41a toward the bottom wall 3133. Referring to fig. 2, the carrying portion 41a includes a first carrying area 411 and a second carrying area 413, the first carrying area 411 corresponds to the first feeding port 211, and the second carrying area 413 corresponds to the second feeding port 231. The first knife 33 is used to cut the food on the first carrying area 411 and/or the second carrying area 413 in a first manner, and the first knife 33 and the second knife 35 are used together to cut the food on the first carrying area 411 in a second manner.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the bearing portion 41a further includes a tool discharging area 415 and a tool-free area 417, in the first direction (X1/X2), the tool discharging area 415 corresponds to the first bearing area 411, the tool-free area 417 corresponds to the second bearing area 413, the first tool 33 corresponds to the tool discharging area 415 and the tool-free area 417, the second tool 35 extends from the tool discharging opening 4151 of the tool discharging area 415 along the fourth direction Z, and the first direction (X1/X2) is different from the fourth direction Z.

That is, the blade 352 of the second cutter 35 protruding from the exit 4151 serves to cut the food longitudinally, and the first cutter 33 serves to cut the food transversely. Food thrown from the first feeding port 211 can be transversely cut by the first cutter 33, and a slicing function is realized. The food thrown from the second feeding port 231 can be transversely cut by the first cutter 33 to realize a slicing function, and can also be longitudinally cut by the second cutter 35 and transversely cut by the first cutter 33 to realize a strip cutting function.

Referring to fig. 7 and 9, in some embodiments, the number of the fitting members 3531 is two, and in the first direction (X1/X2), one fitting member 3531 corresponds to the no knife section 417, and the mounting rod 3533 corresponds to the knife outlet section 415, so that the knife group 351 disposed on the mounting rod 3533 can extend from the knife outlet section 415. Since the knife set 351 is not disposed on the assembly member 3531, no matter the second knife 35 is in any rough or fine cutting position, no knife set 351 protrudes from the knife-free area 417, so as to ensure that the second bearing area 413 only corresponds to the first knife 33.

Referring to fig. 4 and 8, in one embodiment, the adjusting member 45 can adjust the thickness of the food cut by the first cutter 33 by adjusting the relative distance between the tray 41 and the feeding port 200 along the fourth direction Z. Since the relative distance between the first cutter 33 and the dispensing opening 200 in the second direction Z is fixed, the farther the relative distance between the tray 41 and the dispensing opening 200 in the fourth direction Z is, the thicker the food located between the dispensing opening 200 and the tray 41 is, the thicker the food transected by the first cutter 33 is; the closer the relative distance between the tray 41 and the dispensing opening 200 in the fourth direction Z, the thinner the food located between the dispensing opening 200 and the tray 41 and the thinner the food cut transversely by the first knife 33.

Referring to fig. 8 and 14, in some embodiments, a side wall 3131 of the receiving portion 313 is provided with a first guide groove 31311 extending along a first direction (X1/X2), the tray 41 is located in the receiving cavity 31310 of the receiving portion 313, the tray 41 is provided with a second guide groove 431 extending along a third direction (P1/P2), the adjusting member 45 is inserted through the first guide groove 31311 and the second guide groove 431 and extends out of the side wall 3131, and the first direction (X1/X2) is different from the third direction (P1/P2).

In certain embodiments, the third direction (P1/P2) is oblique to the first direction (X1/X2). When the adjustor 45 slides along the first guide groove 31311, the adjustor 45 simultaneously slides along the second guide groove 431, and thus, while the adjustor 45 slides to a different position along the first guide groove 31311, the different position of the second guide groove 431 coincides with the first guide groove 31311 in the extending direction of the adjustor 45. Since the extending direction of the second guide groove 431 is different from the extending direction of the first guide groove 31311, when a different position of the second guide groove 431 in the extending direction of the adjuster 45 coincides with the first guide groove 31311, the relative position of the tray 41 and the tool holder 31 in the height direction is also different. Thus, sliding the adjusting member 45 along the first guide groove 31311 can adjust the height of the tray 41 relative to the tool post 31, i.e., adjust the height of the tray 41 relative to the first cutter 33 in the second direction Z, so as to adjust the thickness of the food cut by the first cutter 33.

For example, in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 14, the second guide groove 431 is higher on the left and lower on the right. When the adjuster 45 moves from the leftmost end to the rightmost end of the first guide groove 31311 (i.e., moves in the direction X1), the portion of the second guide groove 431 overlapping the first guide groove 31311 changes from the highest portion of the second guide groove 431 to the lowest portion of the second guide groove 431, so that the second guide groove 431 is lifted with respect to the first guide groove 31311, i.e., the tray 41 is lifted with respect to the holder 31.

Referring to fig. 14, in some embodiments, the first cutter 33 has a plurality of thickness cutting ranges, and the adjusting member 45 can slide along the first direction (X1/X2) to switch the thickness cutting ranges of the first cutter 33 when being pulled outwards or pressed inwards relative to the cutter seat 31. When the adjusting member 45 is not applied with an external force, it can be fixed to a position of the first guide groove 31311, so that the first cutter 33 is maintained at a thickness cutting position.

Referring to fig. 14, in some embodiments, the main body 311 and/or the side wall 3131 may have a plurality of position-limiting portions 31313, the position-limiting portions 31313 are used to cooperate with the adjusting element 45; when the adjusting member 45 is pulled outwards or pressed inwards relative to the tool seat 31, it can slide along the first direction (X1/X2) to cooperate with different limiting portions 31313 to be limited at different positions of the first guide groove 31311.

In one embodiment, the side wall 3131 is provided with limit scales, each limit scale corresponding to one limit portion 31313. The limit scale is used for indicating the thickness cutting step, for example, when the adjusting piece 45 is matched with the limit portion 31313, the corresponding limit scale below the limit portion 31313 in the matching indicates the current thickness cutting step.

Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the adjusting member 45 may include a sliding bar 455, a limiting unit 451, and an elastic unit (not shown). The sliding bar 455 is inserted through the first guide groove 31311 and the second guide groove 431. The limiting unit 451 is mounted at an end of the sliding bar 455 and is located outside the receiving cavity 31310, and is used to cooperate with the limiting portion 31313 to limit the position of the sliding bar 455 at the first guide groove 31311. The elastic unit connects the sliding bar 455 and the limiting unit 451, and serves to provide an elastic force for restoring the limiting unit 451 when the limiting unit 451 is pulled outward or pressed inward. The user may drag the limiting unit 451 to slide along the first guide groove 31311 to move the slide bar 455 in a first direction (X1/X2), so that the tray 41 is raised or lowered relative to the tool holder 31 as the slide bar 455 moves.

Referring to fig. 15 and 16, in some embodiments, the limiting unit 451 may include a limiting base 4511 and a protrusion 4513 protruding from the limiting base 4511, wherein the protrusion 4513 is used for being held by a user to facilitate the user to drag the limiting unit 451 to move, pull out or press in. The limiting base 4511 is provided with a limiting port 4515, and the limiting port 4515 is used for cooperating with the limiting part 31313 to limit the sliding of the limiting unit 451 along the first guide groove 31311.

In one embodiment, the position-limiting portion 31313 protrudes outward from the side wall 3131, and when the position-limiting unit 451 is in the reset position, the elastic unit provides an elastic force toward the inner side of the side wall 3131, so that the position-limiting unit 451 fits to the position-limiting portion 31313 by clinging to the side wall 3131. When the thickness cutting stage needs to be adjusted, the user may pull the restricting unit 451 outward away from the restricting portion 31313 to release the engagement of the restricting unit 451 with the restricting portion 31313, so that the adjustor 45 can slide along the first guide groove 31311.

In another embodiment, the limiting portion 31313 protrudes downward from the periphery 31151 of the notch 3115 of the body 311, and is spaced apart from the side wall 3131. When the restricting unit 451 is at the reset position, the elastic unit provides elastic force toward the outside of the side wall 3131 such that the restricting unit 451 is spaced apart from the side wall 3131, and the restricting unit 451 is engaged with the restricting portion 31313 at a position spaced apart from the side wall 3131 to restrict the sliding of the adjusting member 45 along the first guide groove 31311. When it is required to adjust the thickness cutting stage, the user may press the restricting unit 451 inward, for example, to press the restricting unit 451 inward to a space between the restricting portion 31313 and the side wall 3131 of the restricting port 4515, to release the fitting of the restricting unit 451 with the restricting portion 31313, so that the adjustor 45 can slide along the first guide groove 31311.

Referring to fig. 15, in some embodiments, the tray structure 40 may further include a blocking member 43. The blocking member 43 serves to isolate the food from the second cutter 35, preventing the food from catching the second cutter 35. The blocking member 43 is provided with an escape port 437 which communicates with the knife exit port 4151 (see fig. 7), and in the case of switching the knife group 351 for cutting food, the escape port 437 serves to escape the second cutter 35 to ensure that the blade 352 of the second cutter 35 does not collide with the blocking member 43 when the vertical knife assembly 353 rotates.

In some embodiments, an outlet 47 is formed between the blocking member 43 and the loading portion 315, and the cut food is discharged from the outlet 47 along the blocking member 43, and the direction of the food discharged from the outlet 47 is identical to the direction of the food thrown from the feeding port 200. That is, the food is fed from the feeding port 200 in the vertical direction (Z direction), and discharged from the outlet 47 in the vertical direction.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in some embodiments, the food cutter 100 may further include a follower press plate structure 60. The follower platen structure 60 is mounted to the stage 11 and is located between the stage 11 and the body 311. The follower pressing plate structure 60 is provided with a through hole 611, and the through hole 611 corresponds to the through hole 110. The follower platen structure 60 serves to limit the movement of food carried on the tray 41 relative to the feeding structure 20 in the event that the knife block structure 30 moves with the tray structure 40 relative to the feeding structure 20.

In some embodiments, the follower platen structure 60 includes a baffle 61 and a platen 63. The through hole 611 and the pressing plate 63 are disposed on the baffle 61, and the pressing plate 63 abuts against between the baffle 61 and the tray 41. The stop 61 is intended to limit the movement of the food carried on the tray 41 with respect to the feeding structure 20 in a first direction X1. With the knife block structure 30 moving with the tray structure 40 in a forward direction X1 of the first direction relative to the feeding structure 20, the pressing plate 63 is used to push the cut food in a reverse direction X2 of the first direction to push the food into the outlet 47.

That is, the food cut by the knife tackle structure 30 is carried on the tray 41 and is located below the baffle 61 without being restricted by the baffle 61. Therefore, the cut food is moved in the first direction (X/X2) together with the tray 41. In the case where the knife block structure 30 is moved together with the tray structure 40 in the forward direction X1 of the first direction relative to the dosing structure 20, the cut food items are caught by the presser plate 63, while the outlet 47 gradually approaches the perforation 611 as the tray structure 40 is moved in the forward direction X1 of the first direction, and the food items are discharged from the outlet 47 when the outlet 47 reaches the position of the perforation 611.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the baffle 61 has a receiving space 613, and the pressing plate 63 is at least partially received in the receiving space 613. In another embodiment, the pressing plate 63 may be exposed, but not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the platen 63 is held against the tray 41 by its own weight. Referring to fig. 4 and 7, in another embodiment, the follower pressing plate structure 60 may further include an elastic member 65. The elastic member 65 is located in the receiving space 613 and connects the baffle 61 and the pressing plate 63. The elastic member 65 is used for providing an elastic force for keeping the pressing plate 63 against the tray 41.
