When the kitchen knife 11 is moved up and down, the radiating gear 55 is rotated by the action of the braking tool 51, and the rotation is transmitted to the gears 57 and 57 'to advance the cutting board.

The distance by which the cutting board moves forward and downward in one stroke of the kitchen knife is determined by the combination of the number of teeth of the gears 55-57.
As the number of teeth of the gear 56 is smaller, the rotation of the gear 55 is reduced and transmitted to the gear 57, so that the forward distance of the cutting board 60 by one up and down movement of the kitchen knife 11 is reduced, and the noodles can be cut into small pieces. Therefore, in this embodiment, two gears are prepared, one having 18 teeth and one having 40 teeth, and using 18 teeth for buckwheat and 40 teeth for udon. I have. In this embodiment, the gear 55 has 60 teeth and the gears 57 and 57 'have 54 teeth.
It goes without saying that the number of teeth of 7 is not limited to this. If the number of teeth of the gear changes, the size of the gear also changes, but the positions of the gears 57 and 57 ′ do not change, so the mounting position of the shaft 53 of the gears 55 and 56 can be changed although not shown in the drawing. Thus, two mounting holes for the shaft 53 are provided at different heights in the pillar of the support base.

To cut udon and soba using the noodle cutting device described above, the following procedure is used. First, since the gear 56 and its mounting position are different depending on the noodle or udon or soba noodles, gears corresponding to these noodles to be cut are prepared and mounted in predetermined mounting holes. Next, the cutting board is placed on the beam 41 fixed to the support table, and the cutting board is moved to a position where the tip comes out slightly forward of the kitchen knife. Next, a rubber mat is spread on the cutting board 30, and the noodle material folded in a plate shape is placed thereon. This mat is required from a sanitary point of view. Each time you move the kitchen knife up and down once, the cutting board moves forward by the thickness of the noodles, so anyone can easily move the kitchen knife up and down to cut noodles and udon or soba noodles.
