Description

 The invention relates to the food industry, in particular, to devices for grinding products, such as vegetables, fruits, cheese, etc.

 A device for cutting vegetables, consisting of a supporting surface, a knife for cutting vegetables into slices, and knives for cutting vegetables with cubes (a.c.SSSR 369002, 26 D 1/02, 3/24).

 The known device does not allow cutting vegetables into small pieces without prior preparation.

 The closest analogue of the claimed invention is a device for cutting food products into pieces, containing a supporting surface, a horizontal knife, vertical knives mounted behind a horizontal knife (US Pat. Germany 450044, B 26 D 3/18).

 The device does not allow cutting products in small pieces in one pass through a system of knives, which complicates the cutting process.

 The technical result of this invention is to provide a device that allows to simplify the process of cutting products into pieces and to improve the convenience of cutting.

 The technical result is achieved in that the device for cutting food products into slices, containing a surface, a horizontal knife, vertical knives mounted behind a horizontal knife, according to the invention, is equipped with additional vertical knives installed in front of the horizontal knife. In addition, the height of the vertical knives exceeds the distance from the supporting surface to the cutting plane of the horizontal knife; the distance between the vertical knives installed behind the horizontal vertical knives located in front of the horizontal knife.

 The technical effect of using the proposed technical solution is to increase the convenience of cutting products.

 The drawing shows a General view of the proposed device.

 The device for cutting vegetables consists of a base 1 with a supporting surface 2 along which the cut products glide 3. A horizontal knife 4 is used to cut the products in circles. Vertical knives 5 are fastened firmly to the horizontal knife 4. Additional vertical knives 6 are installed in front of the horizontal knife 4. reduce cutting forces vertical knives 5 may have a sharpening on both sides. Vertical knives 5 and 6 can be single-row or double or multi-row.

 Vertical knives 5 and 6 have a height "H" greater than the thickness of the cut "h" of the products 3 with a horizontal knife 4 (or the corresponding distance from the surface of the supporting surface 2 to the cutting plane of the products 3 with a horizontal knife 4 if this distance differs from the actual thickness of the cut products). Vertical knives 5 are removable. If they are absent (for cutting vegetables in circles), they provide an even (flat) surface 7. Vertical knives 5 can be mounted on insert 8. The supporting surface 2 can be removable and mounted at different heights in relation to the horizontal knife 4.

 Use the device as follows.

For cutting into cubes, product 3 is advanced through the knife system 4-6 only in the direction of arrow “A” and returned to its original position (shown in the drawing) without pressing against the vertical knives. In this case, before each cutting, the product is rotated along the arrows "P" parallel to the cutting plane of the horizontal knife 4 or the supporting surface 2 (90 ^° if cubes are needed, and to a different angle if pieces of a different shape are required).

 When passing through additional vertical knives 6 and a horizontal knife 4, cubes are separated from the bottom of the product 3. With the further advancement of the product 3 through vertical knives 5, vertical incisions are formed in it 9. Due to the presence of notches 9, at each advancement of the product 3 through additional vertical knives 6 and the horizontal knife 4, cubes are formed. Moreover, before starting cutting, the first vertical cuts 9 are performed by promoting the product 3 through the vertical knives 5 in the direction of the arrow "B".

 For cutting products into cubes, the distance between the vertical knives 5 and the knives 6 should be equal to the thickness of the cut "h". If the distance between the vertical knives 5 is not equal to the distance between the additional vertical knives 6, then when cutting the product 3, parallelepipeds are formed.

 Using a horizontal knife 4, cutting vegetables in circles is possible. In addition, the device allows you to cut vegetables with cubes (straws).

 The application of the proposed device will improve the conditions and quality of cutting products.
