Abstract

PURPOSE:To slice food into two different thicknesses using one mounting plate by mounting a position-variable mounting plate on a rotating plate in such a manner as being freely attached and detached, to which a slice cutter is fixed, and providing on the upper side of the opening of the mounting plate a projecting portion for varying thickness of the food. CONSTITUTION:When food (a) such as vegetables is supplied from a material cast-in opening 24 into a vegetable cutter by a push bar 26 and a power switch is turned on to operate the vegetable cutter, a mounting plate 27 is rotated together with a rotating plate 22 by rotation of a driving motor 21. When the mounting plate 27 is mounted to the rotating plate 22 in such a manner that an opening 27a near which a projecting portion 27c is located may be fitted with a slice cutter 28, the food slides on the upper surface of the mounting plate 27 and is pushed upward by the projecting portion 27c and is thinly sliced by the cutter 28 into the size (a) of the space between the upper surface of the projecting portion 27c and the edge portion of the cutter 28. When the mounting plate 27 is mounted to the rotating plate 22 in such a manner that an opening 27b to which the projecting portion 27c is not close may be fitted with the slice cutter 28, the food slides on the mounting plate 27 and is thickly sliced by the cutter 28 into the size (b) of the space between the upper surface of the mounting plate 27 and the edge portion of the cutter 28.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vegetable cutting machine for cutting vegetables and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of vegetable cutting machine has a structure as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.

That is, the vegetable cutting machine includes a cutting machine main body 2 having a built-in drive motor 11, a rotary plate 3 placed on the cutting machine main body 2 and rotated in a horizontal plane by the drive motor 1, and having a discharge port 3a. A container 4 containing a rotating plate 3, and this container 4
an M6 that covers the upper opening of and has a material input port 5; a push rod 7 that fits into the material input port 5 and pushes vegetables etc.;
It is fixed to the rotating plate 38, and the opening 8a of the thin-slicing mounting plate 8 is fixed to the rotary plate 38.
It was equipped with a slice cutter 9 having a blade part parallel to the upper surface of the upper part and separated by a gap A'. In addition, there is a thick-slicing mounting plate 10 (see FIG. 8 (bl)) that is detachably attached to the rotary plate 3 to fix the slice cutter 9, and the slice cutter 9 is fixed to this thick-slicing mounting plate 10. When the slice cutter 9'c is fixed to the thick-slice mounting plate 10, the blade of the slice cutter 9 and the opening of the thick-slice mounting plate 10 The gap B between the upper surface of the upper part 10b is the thin-slicing mounting plate 8.
The gap A is larger than that in the case of .

In the above configuration, when food such as vegetables is fed from the material input port 5 using the push rod 7 and the power switch (not shown) is fully turned on for operation, the thin-slicing mounting plate 8 rotates due to the rotation of the drive motor 1 and the slicing plate 8 rotates. The food is sliced thinly (with dimension A) by the ice cutter 9. Next, the mounting plate 10 for thick cutting
If you replace it with , and cut it in the same way, you can make thick slices (with dimension B).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a conventional configuration,
2 mounting plates 8.10' for thin slices! In addition, the slice cutter 9 had to be fixed in place in each case, which not only made the product expensive but also bulky when stored.

The present invention solves all of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a vegetable cutting machine that can change the thickness of slicing using only one mounting plate.

Lesson 8: How to solve the problem? In order to solve this problem, the vegetable cutting machine of the present invention fixes a slice cutter on a rotating plate, and rotates the slice cutter on the rotating plate.
The mounting plate is provided with a removable mounting plate so that it can be mounted while changing the length of the cutter, and the mounting plate has openings in 21 directions through which the slice cutter can be inserted. A convex portion is provided on the upper side in the direction, and the slice cutter is configured to fit into the opening when the mounting plate is attached to the rotary plate.

Effect With the above configuration, by attaching the mounting plate to the rotary plate so that the opening where the protrusion is provided fits into the slice cutter, the thickness can be adjusted to accommodate the small gap between the protrusion and the slice cutter. By attaching it to the rotary plate in such a way that the opening where there is no protrusion fits into the slice cutter, the flat part without the protrusion and the slicing cutter can be cut into thin slices. The food can be sliced thickly to correspond to the large gap between Food can be sliced even thicker to fit the gap.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 520.
A drive upper motor 21 installed in the cutter main body 20, a rotary plate 22 which is rotated in a horizontal plane by the drive motor 21 and has discharge ports 22a, a container 23 in which the rotary plate 22 is built, a lid 25 that covers the upper opening of the container 23 and has a material input port 24 into which food is input;
A push rod 26 that is inserted into the material input port 24 and pushes the food downward, and a portion of the slice cutter fixed to the upper surface of the rotary plate n can be mounted in two directions symmetrically with respect to the rotation center 0. The rotating plate 22 is provided with a mounting plate I which can be freely attached to and detached from the rotary plate 22. The mounting plate 27 has two openings 27a and 27b that are located symmetrically with respect to the rotation center 0 and are slightly larger than a portion of the slice cutter. A convex portion 27c is provided so that when the mounting plate 27 is fully attached to the rotary plate 22, a portion of the slice cutter and the opening 27a fit together.

In addition, an auxiliary protrusion 22b having the same height as the thickness of the mounting plate 27 is provided at a position symmetrical to the discharge port 22a on the rotating plate 22, and can be fitted into the openings 27a and 27b of the mounting plate n. .

In the above configuration, the operation will be explained.

When all foods such as vegetables are supplied from the material input port 24 using the push rod 26 and a power switch (not shown) is turned on to operate, the rotation of the drive motor 21 causes the mounting plate n to rotate together with the rotary plate 22. Here, FIGS. 1 and 2 (at (
If the attachment plate 2'7 is attached to the rotary plate n so that the opening 27a on the side where the protrusion 27c is close to the slice cutter fits into the opening 27a as shown in bl, the food is not attached. It slides on the upper surface of plate I and is pushed upward by the convex portion 27c,
The slice cutter 28 ni slices the slice thinly with the gap size a between the upper surface of the convex portion 27c and the four blades of the slice cutter. Next, when the food reaches the other opening 27b, it easily passes through the auxiliary protrusion 22b'f-oil, and the same movement
Repeat ``￥''.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (al, (bl), the mounting plate 27 is attached to the rotary plate 22 so that the slice cutter 28 fits into the opening 27b on the side where the protrusion 27c is not adjacent. When the food is attached, the food slides on the mounting plate 27, and the slice cutter 28 slices the food into a thick slice with the gap between the top surface of the mounting plate 27 and the blade of the slicing force claw 28. When the food reaches it, it climbs up the slope and easily passes through the auxiliary protrusion 22bk, and the same operation is repeated thereafter.

Furthermore, if the rotating plate 22 is operated without the mounting plate 27 attached, the slices can be sliced even thicker by the thickness of the mounting plate 27 than when the slices are sliced thicker.

In this way, according to the above-mentioned vegetable cutting machine, it is possible to cook slices of different thickness by changing the direction in which it is attached to the rotary plate by changing the direction of attachment by only one mounting plate by 180 degrees, or by not attaching the mounting plate to the rotating plate. Become.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a mounting plate whose placement position can be changed is detachably attached to the rotary plate to which the slice cutter is fixed, and a thickness changeable plate is provided on the upper side of one opening of the mounting plate. Since the protrusion is provided, by changing the mounting position of the mounting plate or removing the mounting plate, two types of slices with different thicknesses can be made using the same mounting plate. Therefore, the vegetable cutting machine can be manufactured at low cost and the storage space can be reduced.
