(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the onion cutting tool according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. The onion cutting tool includes a cutting tool 1 that collectively cuts the onions into round slices, a cutting tool 2 that collectively cuts the rounded onions into fine dust, and a guide member 3 that guides the cutting tool 1 in the cutting direction of the onions. I have. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cutting tool 1 includes a plurality of blades 11 arranged substantially parallel to each other, and a pair of support portions 12 for supporting the longitudinal end portions of the plurality of blades 11. It is provided with a top plate 13 that connects the upper portions of the support portions 12 of the above.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of the plurality of blades 11 gradually moves from the outer blade 11 toward the central blade 11 so that a part of the spherical surface of the onion N is left uncut when the onion N is sliced. It has a cutting edge 111 that protrudes in the cutting direction X. That is, the blade tips 111 of the plurality of blades 11 are arranged so as to form a mountain shape along the lower spherical surface of the onion N when viewed from the support portion 12 side. As a result, the cutting tool 1 can cut the onion N into round slices so that a part of the lower part of the spherical surface of the onion N is left uncut, that is, the sphere of the onion N can be maintained by the uncut portion. Further, by forming each of the cutting edge 111s of the plurality of blades 11 into a mountain shape along the lower spherical surface, the area of the uncut portion can be reduced as compared with the case where the heights of the respective cutting edge 111s are the same. .. That is, when the onion N is cut by the cutting tool 1 using the guide member 3 (see FIGS. 5 and 7) described later, the height of each blade edge 111 from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 is shown in FIG. When aligned with the height of the outer blade edge 111, the blade 11 on the center side is left uncut more than the outer blade 11. Therefore, the area of the uncut portion increases. On the other hand, when the height of each blade edge 111 from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 is aligned with the height of the blade edge 111 on the center side shown in FIG. 2, the outer blade 11 completely slices the onion N. Therefore, the onion N cannot maintain the sphere.

More specifically, the plurality of blades 11 are 10. The distance width between the blade 11 and the adjacent blade 11 is preferably 5 mm or more, preferably 6 mm or more, 9 mm or less, preferably 8 mm or less, and more preferably 7 mm. With such a distance width, the onion N can be appropriately finely chopped by a plurality of blades 22 described later. Further, the distance difference in the cutting direction X between the cutting edge 111 of the outermost blade 11 and the cutting edge 111 of the second blade 11 from the outside is preferably 3 mm or more and 7 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm. The distance difference between the cutting edge 111 of the second blade 11 from the outside and the cutting edge 111 of the third blade 11 from the outside, and the cutting edge 111 of the third blade 11 from the outside and the fourth blade 11 from the outside The distance difference from the cutting edge 111 is also 3 mm or more and 7 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm. The distance difference between the cutting edge 111 of the fourth blade 11 from the outside and the cutting edge 111 of the fifth blade 11 (the blade 11 on the center side) from the outside is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm. .. In this way, the distance difference between the cutting edge 111 may be gradually reduced from the outside toward the center side blade 11. The number of the plurality of blades 11 is not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. Further, the plurality of blades 11 are preferably arranged at equal intervals from the viewpoint of accurately cutting the onion N in a plan view.

The support portion 12 supports the longitudinal end portions of each of the plurality of blades 11. The support portion 12 is a plate orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the plurality of blades 11. The length of the support portion 12 in the cutting direction is preferably equal to or larger than the diameter of the onion N. More specifically, the length of the support portion 12 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 110 mm or more in consideration of the average size of the onion N. A top plate 13 is provided on the upper portion of the support portion 12. By providing the top plate 13, the strength of the cutting tool 1 can be improved, and the cutting tool 1 can be easily gripped by the user. Further, although not shown, a handle that is easily gripped and applied by the user may be attached to the upper surface of the top plate 13. From the viewpoint of cutting the onion N into round slices, the support portion 12 may be provided at one end of the plurality of blades 11 in the longitudinal direction and may not be provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction. , The top plate 13 does not have to be provided. Further, the support portion 12 is not particularly limited to a plate as long as it supports the plurality of blades 11 and the onion N can be sliced into round slices by the plurality of blades 11.

The end of the support portion 12 on the cutting direction X side protrudes in the cutting direction X from the cutting edge 111 of the blade 11 on the center side. The distance difference between the cutting edge 111 of the central blade 11 and the end of the supporting portion 12 in the cutting direction X, in which the cutting edge 111 most protrudes in the cutting direction X among the plurality of blades 11, is 5 mm or more, preferably 6 mm or more. It is preferably 9 mm or less, preferably 8 mm or less, and more preferably 7 mm or less. As described above, each blade edge 111 is gradually projected toward the center by providing a distance difference between the blade edges 111, and the end portion of the support portion 12 in the cutting direction X protrudes from the blade edge 111 of the blade 11 on the center side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of blades 11 are prevented from moving in the cutting direction X by the end portion of the support portion 12 on the cutting direction X side before the onion N is completely sliced. A part of the lower part of the spherical surface of N can be cut off. In this way, by leaving a part of the lower part of the spherical surface of the onion N uncut in the figure, the onion N is cut into round slices except for the uncut portion, but the round sliced portion is connected by the uncut portion. Therefore, the sphere can be maintained.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cutting tool 2 includes a frame body 21 that opens vertically, a plurality of blades 22 arranged inside the frame body 21, and a handle 23 attached to the upper portion of the frame body 21. It has.

The frame body 21 has a quadrangular shape in a plan view. The frame 21 is not limited to a quadrangular shape as long as a plurality of blades 22 can be arranged inside, but may be a polygonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or the like. The size of the frame 21 is not particularly limited, but in consideration of the average size of the onion N, it is preferable that the frame 21 has a length of 110 mm or more and a width of 110 mm or more in a plan view.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of blades 22 are arranged inside the frame body 21. The plurality of blades 22 include radial blades 221 that radiate from the central axis of the frame body 21 toward the corners of the frame body 21. That is, the space inside the frame 21 is divided into four regions by the radial blades 221 connecting the diagonals of the frame 21. Further, the plurality of blades 22 include parallel blades 222 extending side by side from each side surface of the adjacent radial blades 221 toward the frame body 21 in the same region. The parallel blades 222 arranged in each region are substantially parallel to each other and are in contact with the frame 21 at right angles in a plan view. In the parallel blades 222 arranged in one region, the distance width between the parallel blades 222 and the adjacent parallel blades 222 is preferably 4 mm or more, preferably 5 mm or more, and 8 mm or less, preferably 7 mm or less. Is better, more preferably 6 mm. By arranging the parallel blades 222 with such a distance width, the onion N sliced by the cutting tool 1 can be appropriately finely chopped. The radial blade 221 may extend from the internal space of the frame body 21 toward the frame body 21, but considering that the cutting tool 2 cuts fine dust around the core of the onion N, the frame body 21 It preferably extends from the vicinity of the central axis.

The distance width of the plurality of blades 11 and the distance width of the parallel blades 222 may be appropriately determined according to the type of cooking using the finely chopped onion N, the individual taste of the user, and the like. However, by setting the above range, the onion N can be finely chopped so that it can be used for cooking more versatilely. The plurality of blades 22 are not limited to the above-described configuration as long as the onion N can be finely chopped. For example, the plurality of blades 22 may have a plurality of blades 22 extending radially from the central axis without providing the above-mentioned parallel blades 222 in a region provided with the above-mentioned parallel blades 222, or a grid-like blade. 22 or a staggered blade 22 may be provided.

The handle 23 is attached to the upper part of the frame body 21. As will be described later, the cutting tool 2 is used so as to press a plurality of blades 22 against the onion N from above the sliced onion N. Therefore, by providing the handle 23, it becomes easy to apply pressure from above the onion N.

The frame body 21 is not limited to a quadrangular shape, may be a polygonal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or the like, and is not particularly limited as long as a plurality of blades 22 can be arranged. Further, even in the case of the quadrangular frame 21, the radial blade 221 does not need to extend toward the quadrangular corners, and the direction extending from the central axis is not limited as long as the space in the frame 21 can be divided.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide member 3 guides the cutting direction of the cutting tool 1 so that the onion N can be easily sliced by the cutting tool 1. The guide member 3 includes a mounting portion 31 on which the onion N is placed, and a guide portion 32 that guides the support portion 12 so that the plurality of blades 11 move toward the onion N.

The mounting portion 31 has a fixing portion 311 for fixing the onion N. The fixing portion 311 is provided so as to project from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31, and as shown in FIG. 6, is tapered toward the tip so that the onion N can be pierced and fixed. As a result, the onion N is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting portion 31. When the onion N is sliced into round slices by the cutting tool 1, the fixing portion 311 does not overlap the plurality of blades 11 and is positioned between the blades 11. As will be described later, the onion N is placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 so that the core connecting the root and the top is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the plurality of blades 11 in a plan view. The method of fixing the onion N is not particularly limited as long as the onion N can be fixed to the upper surface of the mounting portion 31.

The guide portion 32 has a pair of guide walls 321 and an auxiliary guide wall 322. Each guide wall 321 is erected in the direction in which the onion N is placed from the mounting portion 31, that is, upward from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31. The pair of guide walls 321 face each other so as to face the inner surfaces of the respective guide walls 321 above the mounting portion 31. The auxiliary guide wall 322 extends from the side end portion of each guide wall 321 toward the inner surface side, that is, the side on which the support portion 12 slides. The distance width between the inner surface of one guide wall 321 and the inner surface of the other guide wall 321 is substantially equal to the combined width of the width in the longitudinal direction of the blade 11 and the thickness of the support portion 12. As a result, the pair of guide walls 321 can slide the outer surface of the support portion 12 with respect to the inner surface of the guide wall 321 to guide the support portion 12 in the cutting direction X. Further, the auxiliary guide wall 322 can prevent the cutting tool 1 from shaking in the direction along the inner surface of the guide wall 321, and the support portion 12 can be more appropriately moved to the cutting direction X by simply pushing down the cutting tool 1 in the cutting direction. I can guide you. Further, by providing the fixing portion 311 for fixing the onion N on the mounting portion 31, it is possible to more appropriately guide the plurality of blades 11 toward the onion N. As described above, according to the guide member 3, the onion N can be easily cut into round slices by using the cutting tool 1.

Next, a method for cutting the onion N using the onion cutting tool will be specifically described. The onion N is in a state in which the exodermis has been removed in advance and the apex and root side have been excised.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the onion N is placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 of the guide member 3 by piercing and fixing the onion N to the fixing portion 311. At this time, the onion N is fixed so that the core of the onion N is aligned with the center line of one guide wall 321 and the other guide wall 321 in a plan view. That is, the onion N is fixed by the fixing portion 311 in a laid state so that the core of the onion N is in the direction along the upper surface of the mounting portion 31. Further, the onion N is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 in a fixed state. In the onion N in the laid state in this way, the surface facing the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 is a curved surface. Therefore, the onion N is stabilized by being fixed to the fixing portion 311.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the cutting tool 1 is lowered from above the onion N placed on the mounting portion 31, so that the core of the onion N and the longitudinal direction of the blade 11 are substantially orthogonal to each other in a plan view. The onion N is sliced by a plurality of blades 11. At this time, the outer surface of the support portion 12 moves in the cutting direction X of the onion N so as to slide on the inner surface of the guide wall 321 inside the auxiliary guide wall 322. As a result, the onion N can be appropriately sliced without shaking the cutting tool 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the end portion of the support portion 12 on the cutting direction X side protrudes from the cutting edge 111 of the blade 11 on the central side. Therefore, a part of the lower part of the onion N can be cut off. In this state, the onion N maintains a sphere.

Next, although not particularly shown, the cutting tool 1 is removed, and the onion N is removed from the guide member 3. As mentioned above, a part of the lower part of the onion N is left uncut. Therefore, the onion N maintains a sphere even when it is removed from the fixed portion 311.

Next, although not particularly shown, the onion N is placed on the upper surface of a cutting board or the like. At this time, the core of the onion N is substantially perpendicular to the mounting surface and is in an upright state. That is, the onion N is placed in a state where the cut portion on the root side or the cut portion on the top side of the onion N is in contact with a cutting board or the like. As a result, the round slice surface of the round slice by the cutting tool 1 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the cutting board or the like.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 4, the onions N are collectively cut from above with the cutting tool 2. The sliced onion N is finely cut by the radial blade 221 and the parallel blade 222. That is, each sliced portion of the onion N is a circular layer. By pressing the radial blade 221 and the parallel blade 222 against the circular layer from above, the sliced onions N are appropriately finely chopped so as to be cut pieces having a substantially uniform size. As a result, the onion N can be easily finely chopped by two steps of collectively cutting the onion N into round slices and collectively finely chopping the onion N.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, the onion cutting tool of the second embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. The onion cutting tool of the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the onion cutting tool of the first embodiment. Therefore, here, basically, a configuration different from the onion cutting tool of the first embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the cutting tool 1, the cutting edge 111 of the blade 11 on the central side is at the same height as the end of the supporting portion 12 in the cutting direction X. As shown in FIG. 10, the distance width between the blade 11 and the adjacent blade 11 is the same as that of the plurality of blades 11 according to the first embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 9, the cutting edge 111 of the plurality of blades 11 The distance difference is also the same as that of the plurality of blades 11 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the guide member 3, a stopper 33 is provided on the inner surface of the guide wall 321 on the mounting portion 31 side. As shown in FIG. 12, the stopper 33 is a rectangular frame in a plan view. The portion of the stopper 33 along the inner surface of the guide wall 321 comes into contact with the end of the support portion 12 that slides downward along the guide wall 321 on the cutting direction X side to stop the movement of the support portion 12. As a result, a part of the lower part of the spherical surface of the onion N can be left uncut. That is, the height of the stopper 33 from the upper surface of the mounting portion 31 is substantially the same as the distance difference between the cutting edge 111 of the blade 11 on the central side and the end on the cutting direction X side of the support portion 12 according to the first embodiment. be able to. The stopper 33 is not limited to the rectangular frame, and may have any configuration as long as it can prevent the support portion 12 from moving in the cutting direction X.

As shown in FIG. 12, the stopper 33 is removable from the inner surface of the guide wall 321. By removing the stopper 33, the onion cutting tool can completely cut the onion N into round slices without leaving a part of the spherical surface of the onion N. For example, when preparing a round slice of onion N for barbecue or the like, the stopper 33 can be removed from the guide member 3, and the onion N can be completely sliced together using the cutting tool 1 and the guide member 3. That is, the onion cutting tool of the second embodiment can be used by selecting the case where the onion N is finely chopped and the case where the onion N is completely sliced by attaching and detaching the stopper 33.

Further, in the onion cutting tool of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the height adjusting tool 312 may be attached to the fixing portion 311. The height adjuster 312 is a flat plate, and a notch 313 along the longitudinal direction is formed in the center in the lateral direction. The height adjuster 312 is attached to the fixing portion 311 from above by inserting the fixing portion 311 into the notch 313. Therefore, the width of the notch 313 is substantially equal to the thickness of the fixed portion 311. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the left and right ends of the fixing portion 311 are inclined outward toward the lower side. Therefore, the length of the notch 313 is determined by the height at which the height adjuster 312 is attached. That is, if the length of the notch 313 is relatively short, the height adjuster 312 is fixed relatively above the fixing portion 311. On the other hand, if the length of the notch 313 is relatively long, the height adjuster 312 is fixed relatively below the fixing portion 311. The width of the height adjuster 312 in the lateral direction is smaller than the distance width of the plurality of blades 11 described above. As a result, the cutting edge 111s of the plurality of blades 11 can be moved in the cutting direction with respect to the height adjuster 312. The height adjuster 312 adjusts the height at which the onion N is fixed. As a result, when the onion N is completely sliced without providing the stopper 33, even a relatively flat onion N can be more reliably and completely sliced. The height adjuster 312 may be detachable as described above, or may be fixed to the fixing portion 311. Further, the height adjuster 312 is not limited to the flat plate, and the mounting method is not limited as long as it can be fixed to the fixing portion 311. Further, a plurality of height adjusting tools 312 having different lengths of the notch 313 may be prepared, and the height at which the height adjusting tool 312 is fixed may be appropriately changed.

The method for cutting the onion N using the onion cutting tool of the second embodiment is basically the same as that of the onion cutting tool of the first embodiment described above. However, when the stopper 33 is configured to be removable, the stopper 33 is attached to the guide member 3 before the onion N is sliced by the cutting tool 1 when the onion N is finely chopped. Further, when the onion N is completely sliced, the fixing portion of the guide member 3 is formed in the same manner as the method of cutting the onion N in the above-described first embodiment with the stopper 33 removed from the guide member 3. The onion N is fixed to 311 and the cutting tool 1 is moved in the cutting direction X to completely cut the onion N into round slices.

In the above-mentioned usage method, when the onion N is sliced into round slices, the onion N is fixed to the fixed portion 311 in a laid state, but the onion N can also be fixed to the fixed portion 311 in an upright state. That is, the method of fixing the onion N is not limited as long as a part of the spherical surface of the onion N can be left uncut and the onion N can be collectively sliced so as to maintain the spherical surface.

The onion cutting tool according to the present disclosure can be used not only for cutting onion N but also for cutting foods such as vegetables and boiled eggs.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the cutting tool 1 is housed inside the guide member 3 in the same manner as when the onion N is sliced, and the side surface of the blade 11 faces the blade 22 of the cutting tool 2. The cutting tool 1 and the guide member 3 are placed above the blade 22. The cutting tool 1 and the guide member 3 are housed between one handle 23 and the other handle 23. As described above, the onion cutting tools of the first and second embodiments can compactly store the cutting tool 1, the cutting tool 2, and the guide member 3 when not in use.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the embodiments.
