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.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, this type of vegetable garden machine has a structure as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.

That is, the vegetable cutting machine includes a cutting machine body 2 having a built-in drive motor, a rotary plate 3 placed on the cutting machine body 2, rotated in a horizontal plane by the drive motor 1, and having a discharge port 3a. a container 4 containing the rotary plate 3; a lid 6 that covers the upper opening of the container 4 and has a material input port 5;
A push rod 7 that fits into the material input port 5 and pushes vegetables etc.
and a flat plate-shaped slicing mounting plate 8 (see Fig. 8 1a) detachably attached to the upper surface of the rotating plate 3; A slice cutter 9 and fI- were provided, each having a blade part parallel to the upper surface upstream of part 8a and separated by a gap A. In addition, there is a thick-slicing mounting plate 10 (see FIG. 8(b)) which is detachable from the rotary plate 3 and which fixes the slice cutter 9. A portion 10a to be fixed is provided to protrude upward. When the slicing cutter 9 is fixed to the thick slicing mounting plate 10,
The gap B between the blade of the slice cutter 9 and the upper surface above the opening 10b of the attachment plate 10 for thick slicing is configured to be larger than the gap A in the case of the attachment plate 8 for thin slicing.

In the above configuration, when food such as vegetables is supplied from the material input port 5 using the push rod 7 and the power switch (not shown) is fully turned on to operate, the thin-slicing mounting plate 8 rotates due to the rotation of the drive motor 1 and slices the food. The cutter 9 slices the food thinly (to size). 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,
In preparation for the two mounting plates 8.10 for thin slicing, nine slicing cutters had to be fixed in each case, which not only made the product expensive but also bulky when stored.

The present invention solves the above problems, and is a vegetable cutter that can change the thickness of slicing with only one mounting plate.
The purpose is to provide. .

Means for Solving the Problems The vegetable cutting machine of the present invention has the following features:
A convex portion is formed on the upper side in the rotational direction of one of the discharge ports in a rotary plate having two discharge ports, so that the mounting plate to which the slice cutter is fixed can be repositioned on the rotary plate and the mounting plate is provided with an opening larger than the convex portion and a metal plate on the upper side in the rotational direction of the slice cutter, as well as a protrusion that can cover the convex portion, and when the mounting plate is attached to the rotary plate, the itl opening is provided. The protrusion is at the front of the opening.

It is configured to fit into the convex portion.

Effect With the above configuration, the mounting plate is attached to the rotary plate so that the opening of the mounting plate fits into the convex part of the rotary plate, and the discharge port and the convex part of the rotary plate are located immediately above the rotating direction of the slice cutter. By positioning the protrusion on the top surface of the slicing cutter, food can be sliced thinly to a thickness corresponding to the small gap between the top surface of the protrusion and the slicing cutter. By attaching the mounting plate to the rotary plate and locating the outlet without a protrusion immediately above the rotating direction of the slice cutter, a large gap can be created between the flat surface without a protrusion and the slice cutter. Food can be sliced into thick slices that correspond to the thickness.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to Factor 1 to FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the vegetable cutting machine consists of a cutting machine body, a drive motor 21 installed in the cutting machine body 20, and a drive motor 21 that rotates in a horizontal plane. A rotary plate 22 having two food discharge outlets 22a and 22b formed at symmetrical positions with respect to the center 0, a container 23 completely built into the rotary plate 22, and an upper opening of the container 23 covered. Material input port 24 for inputting food
a push rod 26 that is inserted and fitted into the material input port 24 and pushes the food downward; a nine-convex portion 22c formed on the upper side of the rotary plate 22 in the rotational direction of the discharge port 22a; The slice cutter 2 is detachable so that it can be mounted in two directions symmetrically with respect to the rotation center 0 on the slice cutter 2.
A mounting plate n to which 8 is fixed is provided. Mounting plate 2
7 has a protrusion 2 on the upper side of the slice cutter in the rotational direction.
An opening 27a larger than 2c is provided, and a protrusion 27b that can cover the protrusion 22c 4 of the rotary plate 22 is provided at a symmetrical position with respect to the rotation center O. When the mounting plate 27 is attached to the one-turn plate 22,
The opening 27a or the protrusion 27b is configured to fit into the protrusion 22c of the rotating plate 22. Furthermore, the mounting plate 27 is placed on the rotary plate 22 at a position that fits into the opening 27a, that is, at a position that is approximately symmetrical to the convex portion 22c with respect to the rotation center 0, so that there is no step between the top surface of the mounting plate 27 and the mounting plate 27. An auxiliary protrusion 22d having a height corresponding to the thickness is provided.

In the above configuration, the operation will be explained.

When food such as vegetables is supplied from the material input port 24 using the push rod, and the power switch (not shown) is fully turned on and the machine is operated,
Due to the rotation of the drive motor 21, the mounting plate n together with the rotating plate 22
It also rotates. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (al (b)), the mounting plate 27 is attached to the rotating plate 22 so that the convex portion 22c of the rotating plate 4 and the opening 27a of the mounting plate 27 fit together. If the food slides on the top surface of the mounting plate 27, it is pushed upward by the convex portion 22c, and a portion of the slice cutter closes the gap dimension a between the top surface of the convex portion 22c and the blade portion of the slice cutter 28. The slices are then thinly sliced.
When the food reaches the protrusion 27b, it climbs over the protrusion 27b and attaches to the mounting plate 271 again, and the same operation is repeated.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the mounting plate 27 is attached to the rotary plate 22 so that the protrusion 22c and the protrusion 27b fit together, the food is attached to the mounting plate. 27, easily passing through the auxiliary protrusion 22d,
With the slice cutter 28, the auxiliary protrusion 2 of the rotary plate 22 is cut.
2d The gap between the top surface and the slice cutter blade has already been thickly sliced. Next, when the food reaches the protrusion 27b, it easily climbs over the protrusion 27b and returns to the mounting plate 27.
Slide on the top and repeat the same wJ pattern.

As described above, according to the vegetable cutting machine having the above configuration, by changing the direction in which only one mounting plate 27 is attached to the rotary plate 22 by 180 degrees, it is possible to prepare slices of different thicknesses.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, a plurality of discharge ports are provided on the rotary plate, and a convex portion is formed on the upper side of one of the discharge ports in the rotational direction, and this convex portion is provided. Is the mounting plate so that the slice cutter is located on the lower side of the part where the convex part is located and the part where the convex part is not provided? I- Since it is constructed so that it can be attached and detached, it is possible to slice two types of different thicknesses using the same mounting plate. I sit down and cut vegetables in the air.
It can be manufactured at low cost and the storage space can be reduced.
