The present invention relates to a slice vegetable cutter, and more particularly, a cutter structure of a vegetable cutter for obtaining diced vegetables by pressing a grid-shaped cutter assembly again after slice-cutting a vegetable that is supplied in a longitudinal direction in a cross section. It relates to a cutter structure for the diced slicing of a vegetable cutter made of a smaller sized diced to improve.

In the description of the present invention, the diced cut means a square cut in the shape of a cube, and the food material to be processed is mainly described as cutting in narrow width for mixing in fried rice such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and green peppers.

In general, a large-scale restaurant that processes a large amount of food material and forms a meal, uses a mechanical vegetable cutter in consideration of efficiency and uniformity of cutting vegetables.

Known vegetable cutters for this purpose are designed to enable a variety of slicing.

Conventional vegetable cutters are capable of cutting slices of about 2 to 14 mm to cut the supplied ingredients into cross sections orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, cutting thick and thin slices, and cutting dices of cubes having one side lengths of about 8 to 25 mm in a single device. Very useful.

Such conventional vegetable cutters are of the present inventors Utility Model Registration No. 146265 and the types shown in Figs.

In the former case, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a "V" type guard rail 10 for mounting and feeding horizontally with food materials is formed, and a checkered lattice cutter 12 is formed at the front end of the guard rail. Rotating cutter 14 for cutting the food material passed through the mold cutter with the lattice cutter 12 is installed close to the horizontal cutter 16 for pushing and supplying the food material left and right in the guard rail 10. It is formed to convey.

The vegetable cutter is discharged while being cut in the feeding longitudinal direction of the food material while the food material mounted on the guard rail 10 by the horizontal transfer unit 16 for pressing and transporting the food material horizontally while passing through the lattice cutter 12 and the longitudinal direction. The food material cut into and discharged into is cut by the rotary cutter 14 to serve to obtain diced diced food material.

However, as described above, the cutting of the square material in the form of a rectangular cross-section in the grid cutter 12 while feeding the food material in the horizontal direction in the longitudinal direction is a mechanical friction between the grid cutter (12) and the food material when the length of the food material is long Will receive a lot of load.

In other words, the food material cut when the food material is pierced simultaneously and continuously cut in the rectangular space between the blades is filled in the space of the blade, causing considerable physical frictional pressure with the side surface of the blade. In view of this, it is impossible to cut dice having a small size of less than 8mm on one side due to thermal deformation and deterioration of the freshness and large frictional pressure.

As it is not possible to shorten the length of one side, it is possible to process it into diced food materials used for diced rice, high rice, curry dishes, etc. There is a problem that a cutter cannot be used.

As a prior art which can be diced with the grid cutter and the rotary cutter by horizontal feeding, there is a utility model registration No. 337721, which also has the same problem as described above.

On the other hand, in the latter case it is made as shown in Figures 3 to 5 to obtain a food material diced in a cube shape by pressing the cut food material to the checkerboard grid-shaped cutter after the slice material is cut to a predetermined thickness. .

This is a lower cutter, which is a lattice cutter 22 that does not rotate with a shaft on one motor rotating shaft 20 but is just fitted and fixed to an enclosure and remains stationary, and a slice that is coupled to and rotates with the motor rotating shaft 20. The cutter 24 is formed by stacking the upper cutter on the rotary shaft so as to be in contact with each other and forming a straw 28 for pressing the food material auxiliary inlet 26 and the food material placed in the inlet to the cutter side.

These sliced vegetable cutters are made to pass through the lattice cutter 22 having the diced blade after cutting the food material to a certain thickness compared to the former, so that the mechanical friction between the food material and the blade is slightly reduced, so that the cutting is easy. There is one advantage, but also the problem that deterioration of freshness due to the thermal change of the load and the food material caused by the friction caused by the large cross-sectional area of the friction material as the food material passes through the lattice blade of the narrow mesh form is the same.

The diced cutting of the slice vegetable cutter, as shown in FIG. 5, is a food material that is pushed into the food sentry inlet 26 once independently so that the cutter height of the slice cutter 24 (a cutter having a multi-stage cutting height is selectively used). Is cut to a constant thickness, and the cut food material A is pressed by the slope 24b of the lower portion of the blade 24a of the slice cutter 24 to be pressed in the direction of the lower lattice cutter 22. Hexagonal dices are cut out of the lattice blade.

As a prior art, there is a utility model registration No. 335232.

In the vegetable cutters of all types, the surface of the knife side end of the grid cutter has a wide width in consideration of mechanical strength, so that the friction surface with the food material is increased, resulting in a thermal change of the food material. In addition to the problem of dropping the freshness and the mechanical load as the friction surface is increased, a large amount of pressure device or a motor must be used.

The lattice cutter consists of a knife in the "X" axial direction (30X) and a knife in the "Y" axial direction (30Y), which is spaced apart at regular cutting intervals, and these "X", "Y" axis in the knife The blade surface of (30X, 30Y) is formed to form a constant surface as shown in Figure 6, when cutting, the food material is in contact with the entire surface of the blade forming a lattice, so that the constant surface area of the blade is widened to the blade before cutting As a result, food ingredients are crushed.

In addition, in order to maintain the mechanical strength while forming the blade lattice, the "X" axis knife (30X) from the top, the "Y" axis knife (30Y) from the bottom by drilling a slit for cross-linking In the slits cut out from the top of the "X" axis knife 30X and the blade polished portion of the "Y" axis knife 30Y, triangular pores 32 are generated, and food materials are caught in the pores, resulting in uneven cutting surface. There is a problem that the cutting material is excessively caused by the food material is pinched and torn, resulting in a large cutting load.

On the other hand, by adopting the same structure for narrow cutting for use in fried rice, such that the blade is densely arranged at intervals of at least 4 ~ 5mm, the problem is more seriously generated mechanical problems are difficult. Therefore, there is a limit that the length of the smallest side can not be made less than 8mm.

As a result, it is impossible to cut food materials with narrow widths of about 4 ~ 5mm, and carrots or other food materials used for fried rice are cut at random using a blender such as a hood cutter. Since the cooker observes the ground or grinds a certain amount of time, the processed food materials are not uniform and the cutting surfaces are different, which causes undesirable problems when completing the food.

The present invention devised to solve various problems of the prior art as described above has the following object.

The present invention is to reduce the friction area between the food material and the surface of the knife side of the lattice cutter in the vegetable cutter to minimize the thermal change of the cut food material, to reduce the frictional load during cutting to achieve the overall mechanical and economic weight of the cutter It is to provide a cutter structure for the diced cutting of the sliced vegetable cutter.

The present invention is to provide a cutter structure for the diced cutter of the sliced vegetable cutter that can be narrowed to about half the size of the previous size in the diced cutting using a grid cutter to obtain a narrow uniform diced food material.

The present invention forms a cross blade height of the cross-linked "X, Y" shaft knife as low as the other axis compared to the one axis to eliminate the gap between the blades to increase the cutting force and clean the cutting surface and reduce the mechanical load It is to provide a cutter structure for dipping the diced vegetable cutter made.

The present invention made to achieve the above object in the cutter for dice cutting of the vegetable cutter, a plurality of upper cutters and lower cutters to form a rectangular cutting hole by crossing a plurality of knives in the "X", "Y" axis direction Lay out to overlap the cutting holes of the upper cutter so that the intersection of the knife of the lower cutter is located at the center to form a lattice cutter, each knife of the lattice cutter is mechanical while reducing the friction with the food material to be cut It creates half arc-shaped space on the side surface of the knife avoiding the intersection point to maintain the strength, and crosses stepwise by protruding the height of the blade crossing at the top higher than the polished blade width compared to the blade height of the knife crossing at the bottom. By what is done.

Hereinafter, the technical configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The technical configuration of the present invention is specifically illustrated in the accompanying Figures 7-10.

.

The present invention relates to a "C", "Y" axis in a cutter for cutting dice of a vegetable cutter formed by crossing a plurality of knives in the "X" and "Y" axis directions with a slit (S) to form a rectangular cutting hole. Cutting holes of the upper cutter 40 by providing a plurality of upper cutters 40 and lower cutters 50 each having a rectangular cutting hole intersecting a plurality of knives 40X, 40Y, 50X, 50Y in the direction. Lay out so that the knife intersection point P of the lower cutter 50 is centered with respect to 42, and forms the grid cutter 100, and each knife 40X, 40Y, 50X of the said grid cutter , 50Y) forms half arc-shaped spaces 44 and 54 on the side surface of the knife, avoiding the intersection point P to reduce the friction with the food material to be cut, and to maintain the mechanical strength. Cross the height of the blades intersecting at the top relative to the height of the blades so as to form a protrusion (d) of steps higher than the width of the polished blade. The combined due to the formed.

The present invention is formed by combining the upper cutter 40 and the lower cutter 50, each of which is cross-linked in a lattice shape, into a frame, respectively, to be superimposed and coupled to a part of the disc to be mounted under the slice cutter of the slice vegetable cutter. This can be seen with reference to a perspective view of a state in which the cutter is implemented in a slice vegetable cutter in FIG. 11, and the cutter may be formed on a part of the disc or the entire disc.

Looking at the action of the present invention as described above in more detail as follows.

The cutter structure for dice cutting of the slice vegetable cutter of the present invention is mainly applied to a vegetable cutter which cuts the food material to a certain thickness by a slice cutter and then cuts into cubes.

1 and 2 is a type of cutting into a cube after the horizontal feed cutting shown in the figure is because it is disadvantageous to miniaturize the vegetable cutter because the mechanical load of the long cutting material in the longitudinal direction is very large, it is preferable to apply to the slice vegetable cutter Of course, it is not impossible to apply the present invention to a vegetable cutter of the type shown in Figs.

Therefore, the slice vegetable cutter will be described as a reference.

As is well known, when cutting vegetables in the shape of a cube, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the vegetables to be cut are supplied to the normal slice cutter 24, the vegetables are cut by the cutting height of the slice cutter 24. Slice cutting takes place in the cross section in the direction.

The cut vegetables are pressed to the upper cutter 40 side of the present invention by the lower surface 24b of the cutter. At this time, the upper cutter 40 of the present invention cuts the vegetables cut to the size of the cutting hole 42 into a cube. Cut again.

At this time, the cube-shaped food material first cut to the size of the cutting hole 42 of the upper cutter 40 is discharged continuously while being pressurized by the subsequent slice-cut food material. The food material is divided into four parts by the lower cutter 50, which crosses the center of the cutting hole 42 of the upper cutter 40 as the crossing point P while entering the lower cutter 50, for example, the length of one side is 10 mm. Tea sliced vegetables are further sliced to 5mm on one side and discharged.

In the conventional case of cutting at a time such that the length of one side to be cut is 5 mm or less, the contact area between the food material and the knife (especially the side friction portion of the knife) is large, resulting in a large mechanical load, which leads to severe damage to the vegetables. The present invention can be easily realized by slicing back to the second quadrant after the first slicing.

On the other hand, according to the cutter structure for dice cutting of the sliced vegetable cutter of the present invention, the gap is generated between the knives that are initially cross-linked into the grid cutter 100, the food material to be cut into the lower cutter (40, 50) is introduced. In order to prevent the cutting of the food material due to the cutting load and pinching caused by the gap between the cross blades is formed by forming the uniaxial knife to protrude as a protrusion (d) at least higher than the blade height compared to the knife in the other axis direction. It lowers the load to facilitate cutting and prevents the quality change and thermal change of food materials after cutting.

In addition, according to the present invention by avoiding the intersection point (P) to minimize the side friction between the cut food material and the knife cut off the knife after the food material is cut by forming the half arc-shaped space (44, 54) Since the load is reduced in the outgoing action, even when the vegetable cutter is downsized, the cutting is easy, and the friction of the cutting food material is reduced, so that the thermal change of the food material after cutting is reduced, thereby obtaining high quality food material.

The spaces 44 and 54 are preferably cut out within the range of maintaining the mechanical tensile strength of the knife, and may be formed as a circular through-hole penetrating the side surface, but this is the result that the inventors found experimentally. According to the result, the food material is subjected to the discharge resistance by the circular hole cutting surface in the discharge direction, and thus the undesirable result is obtained. It was confirmed that will have.

The spaces 44 and 54 of each of the knives 40X, 40Y, and 50X, 50Y may be formed on the top of the blades so that the top of the blades is opened, and the blades are polished on the peripheral surface of the space. (See FIG. 13).

In this case, since the space portion is formed on the upper portion of the knife in the form having the blade to be cut, the cutting effect is partially improved, and the friction with the knife side surface acts to be reduced as described above.

The present invention as described in detail above can reduce the friction area between the food material and the surface of the knife side of the lattice cutter in the vegetable cutter can minimize the thermal change of the cut food material can maintain the freshness of the fine food material It has the effect of reducing the frictional load during cutting, which makes the overall economical and light weight of the cutting machine possible, and it is possible to cut narrowly to half the size of the previous size in dice cutting using a lattice cutter. It is possible to obtain a sliced food material, there is an effect that can easily cut the food material, such as a relatively hard carrot with a conventional fried rice and the like.

In addition, the present invention forms the height of the intersecting blade of the cross-linked "X, Y" shaft knife as the other axis (lower) than the one axis to eliminate the gap between the blades to increase the cutting force and clean the cutting surface It is a very excellent invention to obtain an improved effect such as to reduce the overall load.
