Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vegetable slicer, in particular for fruit, vegetables and similar foods, for cutting the material to be cut into slices or strips.
  • Conventional vegetable slicers usually consist of frame elements with a run-up and a run-off surface, preferably in one-piece design made of plastic. Suitable cutting or rasping knives are provided between the run-on and run-off surfaces. These can be interchangeable.
  • the material to be cut is moved from the contact surface via the knife section in the direction of the discharge surface. When the knife section is passed over, the material to be cut is cut and the corresponding sections are partially ejected downwards.
  • a vegetable slicer in particular for fruit, vegetables and similar foods, is known for cutting the material to be cut into slices or strips with a contact surface designed as a height-adjustable tongue for the material to be cut, one Support roller for the tongue-like contact surface, a disc cutting knife fixedly arranged in the direction of movement of the material at a distance above the tongue-like contact surface, approximately parallel to the contact surface, with strip cutting knives which are perpendicular to the disc cutting knife and can be swiveled into the contact surface, the support roller for the tongue-like contact surface simultaneously serving as Carrier is designed for at least two rows of strip cutting knives, the knife spacing in each row is constant but different from row to row, for which passage slots are provided in the tongue-like contact surface and the support roller can be rotated in different angular positions, so that the strip cuts with different knife spacings are feasible.
  • the support roller has a round cross section and is mounted eccentrically. By rotating the roller, the knives provided on the roller thus protrude at different heights beyond the contact surface.
  • the manufacture and assembly of eccentrically trained components requires an increased outlay in terms of manufacturing technology. Especially in the field of mass products, it is essential today in international competition to constantly look for cheaper manufacturing and assembly options. This is where the present invention intervenes.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a vegetable slicer of the type mentioned in such a way that it is simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • the support roller for the tongue-like contact surface has a polygonal, preferably hexagonal, cross section and is mounted in the frame with a central shaft.
  • a plurality of spacing cams are present over the circumference of the roller, on which the roller-side underside of the contact surface rests.
  • the contact surface is elastically supported on the frame in a small swivel range.
  • the elasticity is preferably achieved in that the contact surface is separated from the frame by a cut in each case and is thus designed in the manner of spring tongues.
  • the contact surface projects beyond the roller with its front edge, the front edge being supported by the spacer cams.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vegetable slicer 1 with a contact surface 2 for the material to be cut, for example cucumbers, carrots, onions, etc.
  • the cut material is placed with its end face on the contact surface 2.
  • the contact surface 2 is separated from the frame elements 11, 12 by two lateral cuts, of which the cut 21 is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the contact surface 2 therefore has the property of an elastic tongue.
  • a row of knives with perpendicular, parallel to one another and with the cutting edges oriented against the material to be cut is shown across the direction of movement of the material to be cut, which is indicated by the arrow BR.
  • the disk cutting knife 5 is arranged parallel to the run-up or cutting surface 4.
  • Figure 2 shows a roller 3, on the circumference of two Knife sets 31, 32 are provided.
  • the two sets of knives 31, 32 differ in the number and spacing of the knives.
  • the knife sets 31, 32 can be exchangeable on the roller 3.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view along the line III - III of Figure 2 of a hexagonal roller 3.
  • the central arrangement of the axis of rotation 36 can be seen.
  • FIG. 4 finally shows a partially broken schematic side view of the vegetable slicer 1 according to the invention.
  • the roller 3 is mounted in the frame elements 11, 12 so that it can be rotated centrally.
  • the cutting knives 32 pass through the contact surface 2.
  • the disk cutting knife 5 lies in the contact surface 4. Only as a result of the support of the contact surface 2 by the spacing cams 34, 35 is it possible to contact the contact surface 2 at its edge 23 (FIG. 4) oriented toward the disk cutting knife 5 To give V-shape like the cutting knife 5. Without the support of the spacer cams 34, 35, the elastic contact surface 2 would be pushed downwards by the pressure of the material to be cut.
  • the knives 5; 31, 32 interchangeable. This means that the knives can be retrofitted and dismantled again.
  • This property of the vegetable slicer 1 has the great advantage that all of the individual parts and thus the entire vegetable slicer 1 can be recycled to a high degree, since all the materials used are separable.
