【detailed description】

The invention will now be further described with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a food cutting apparatus provided by the present invention includes a drive member 10, a connecting member 20 secured to the drive member 10, and a cutting member 30. Preferably, the drive member 10 is of a circular ring structure and the cutting member 30 is of an approximately arcuate configuration. The connecting members 31 on both sides of the upper end of the cutting member 30 are respectively movably snapped to both sides of the corresponding connecting member 20, and the cutting member 30 is rotatable relative to the connecting member 20. The lower end of the driving member 10 is located between the connecting members 31 on both sides of the upper end of the cutting member 30 and housed in the first recess 32 at the upper end of the cutting member 30. In use, the user can push the driving component 10 horizontally back and forth. Under the action of the connecting component 20, the cutting component 30 rotates relative to the connecting component 20 under the reaction force of the horizontal front and rear thrust, and cuts the food while rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting the food. No need to twist the wrist, no need to lift the tool up and down, easy to cut, labor-saving and convenient. The invention can be used for cutting olerace, rosemary, basil, alfalfa, thyme, onion, Sage, dragon scorpion, bay laurel, fennel, etc.

In this embodiment, the inner wall of the upper end of the driving member 10 is provided with a handle position 12 for the user to horizontally push the driving member 10. There is a gap between the lower end surface of the driving member 10 and the bottom surface of the first recess 32, so that the lower end surface of the driving member 10 does not contact the bottom surface of the first recess 32 during the cutting process, that is, the lower end surface of the driving member 10 and There is no friction between the bottom surfaces of the first grooves 32, and the peeling of the lower end surface of the driving member 10 is avoided, and the dust which is peeled off at the lower end surface of the driving member 10 is prevented from being mixed into the food, thereby ensuring the safety of eating the food.

In the present embodiment, the connecting member 20 includes a support portion 21 and a catching portion 22. One end of the support portion 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the driving member 10, and the other end is used to fix the engaging portion 32. Specifically, the support portion 21 is a structure having a substantially fan-shaped structure. The one end of the fan-shaped structure is fixed to the inner wall of the driving member 10, and the other end is provided with a fixing member 211. The fixing member 211 has a fixing hole for the engaging portion 22. The snap portion 22 is fixed to the fixing hole. The support portion 21 corresponds to the first groove 32, and both ends of the engaging portion 22 protrude from the opposite sides of the corresponding driving member 10, respectively. The center of the engaging portion 22 coincides with the center of the driving member 10.

A centering member (not shown) is provided inside the support portion 21. The centering component is used to automatically center the entire food cutting device with its own gravity when the user does not use the food cutting device, that is, when the food cutting device is placed in a horizontal state, the cutting member 30 automatically returns to the initial state, as shown in FIG. The initial state of the display.

The shape of the two connecting members 31 corresponds to the shape of the support portion 21. The upper ends of the two connecting members 31 respectively have notches 311, and the two notches 311 are respectively movably snapped to the opposite ends of the corresponding engaging portions 22, so that the cutting member 30 can be rotated relative to the connecting member 20.
