Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a tofu cutting machine.

Conventionally, dicing tofu with a knife requires cutting in three directions, consisting of vertical and horizontal cuts in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and multiple cutting operations at regular intervals in these three directions. However, the cutting operation is time-consuming, and it is difficult to cut everything at regular intervals without breaking.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a tofu cutting machine that can easily and quickly cut tofu into dice.In other words, a container 1 with an open front and top surface is provided, and the lower end is opened on the front of the container 1. A lid 2 that opens and closes as a fulcrum is provided,
A comb-like cutting blade 4 in the front-rear direction, which is composed of a plurality of vertical blades at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction, is provided so as to traverse the inside of the container 1 in the front-rear direction, and a lattice-shaped cutting blade 7 is provided. are provided so as to traverse the interior of the container 1 in the left-right direction.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.

Reference numeral 1 designates a tofu storage container, which is a container with only the top and front sides open, and a lid 2 is provided on the front surface of the container so that the lid 2 can be raised up and down by connecting its lower end to the container 1 side with a hinge 3. .

On the inner surface of the bottom wall of the container 1, a plurality of ila are engraved in the front-rear direction and at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction.

This carving interval is the interval at which the tofu should be cut.

Further, on the inner surface of the rear wall and the inner surface of M2, grooves ilb and 2a are cut in the vertical direction at the same position as i1a, and these grooves la, lb and 2a are located in a line. There is.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a cutting blade in the front-rear direction formed by a plurality of blades, and the forming blades are provided in the same number and at the same position as the plurality of grooves 2a formed in the lid 2, and each blade is The base of the support shaft 5 is supported by a support shaft 5 at the lower part of the groove 2a so as to be able to rise and fall.

Further, the cutting blade 4 is bent into a shape, the horizontal blade part 4a is recessed into the groove 2a, and the vertical blade part 4b is bent into the groove 1.
The width of each is set so that it fits inside b.

6 is a handle. On the inner surface of each of the left and right walls of the container 1, a grid-like 1lld is carved with the interval between the grids set to the cutting width of the tofu.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cutting blade in the left and right direction, which is formed in a lattice shape having the same shape as the lattice shape of R1d, and its width is formed so that the cutting blade 7 fits into the groove 1d.

The vertical blade of the cutting blade 7 extends upward from the container portion, and a guide rod 8 is fixed to the upper end of the vertical blade.

The front and rear ends of the guide rod 8 are bent downward, and guide pieces 8a, 8a are formed at the lower ends thereof, which are bent inward.

The guide pieces 8a are provided on the front and rear sides of the left and right walls of the container 1, respectively.

Horizontal guide grooves 1c, lc into which the guide grooves 8a are loosely fitted are formed.

Furthermore, a horizontal guide groove 2b is formed on the front surface of the lid 2, which matches the guide groove 1c when the lid 2 is raised and closed.

9 is a handle.

In the figure, 10 indicates tofu. Next, the cutting operation will be explained.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tofu 10 is placed into the container 1 from the front opening with the lid 2 opened and leveled, and the cutting blade 4 in the front and back direction also laid down.

Next, stand up M2 and close it. Then, insert the cutting blade 4 into the handle 6.
Hold it and rotate it backwards to connect groove 1a on the bottom wall and groove 1 on the rear wall.
Store it in b.

Thereby, the tofu 10 is cut in the front-rear direction by the plurality of cutting blades 4, and into a plurality of plate shapes having appropriate intervals in the left-right direction.

Since the cutting blade 4 is formed in a ]-shape, this cutting is a sliding cut, and a good cutting can be performed.

Next, the cutting blade 7 in the left-right direction is moved rightward from the state shown in FIG. 2 and housed in the groove ld in the right side wall.

At this time, the cutting blade 7 has its guide rod 8 in the guide grooves 1c and 2b.
Move easily and accurately by being guided by.

This movement cuts the tofu into a grid pattern.

Therefore, in combination with the above-mentioned cutting in the front-back direction, the tofu 10 is cut into dice.

After cutting, the lid 2 is opened and the cut tofu is taken out.

Note that the means for moving the cutting blade 4 in the front-back direction in the front-back direction may be guided by the same guiding method as that for the cutting blade 7 in the left-right direction.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the front side of the container is open, it is easy to put tofu in and out of the container, and in particular, cutting the tofu into dice is extremely easy and can be done reliably without breaking the tofu. It is something that is practically effective.
