Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a semi-automatic vegetable cutting machine that cuts a predetermined thickness by applying irregularities such as corrugations in different directions on the front and back surfaces of vegetables.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For cooking vegetables such as potatoes and radishes with corrugations on the front and back surfaces and cutting them to the appropriate thickness, it is done with hand-held cutters and manual vegetable cutting machines. Yes. In the hand-held knife type, the vegetables are cut into a certain thickness, and in other hand-held cutters, the vegetables are brought into contact with the fixed blade portion of the cutter tool to perform uneven processing on each side. In the case of a manual vegetable cutting machine, placing the material to be cut on a fixed cutter with an irregular shape such as a corrugated shape, and pushing it with a push bar, the same direction on the front and back of the material to be cut It is set as the structure which gives an uneven | corrugated process.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
With conventional hand-held cutting tools, by changing the cutting direction or the piercing direction of vegetables between the front and back surfaces, it is possible to give uneven processing such as different corrugations to the front and back surfaces of vegetables, but it takes time and effort. It can be said that it is not suitable when processing in large quantities. In the latter manual vegetable cutting machine, there is a technical problem that corrugations and the like cannot be applied to the front and back surfaces of vegetables in different directions.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to provide a semi-automatic vegetable cutting machine suitable for mass processing, which can be cut into a predetermined thickness by making corrugations and the like in different directions on the front and back surfaces of vegetables. .
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the first tool post and the second tool post are arranged so that the respective straight movement directions intersect at a predetermined angle, and are alternately advanced and retracted by the driving means. The first tool post and the second tool post are each provided with a corrugated or triangular concavo-convex tool and a receiving piece for setting the thickness of the material to be cut is provided below the front part of each tool. The material pressing means is provided close to the crossing point of the blade, and is provided with a material pressing means for passing the material to be cut while being sandwiched between a pair of pressing pieces. The guide body provided is provided with a material to be cut into which the push rod is allowed to advance and retreat, and the material to be cut fed from the insertion port is pushed by the push rod and sent to the crossing point of the blade. Sometimes, due to the forward and backward movement of the blade In different directions on the front and back surfaces of the截材fee is subjected to uneven working is characterized by being configured so as to be chopped to a predetermined thickness.
[0006]
In order to achieve the same object, a second aspect of the present invention is the vegetable cutting machine according to the first aspect, wherein the drive means is provided in two areas inside the first tool post and the second tool post. Further, the lever is provided in a freely swingable manner, the tip of each arm of the lever is connected to the tool rest, and the other end of the link having one end connected to an eccentric pin attached to the output shaft of the motor device is connected to the two ends. Further, the first turret and the second turret are alternately moved forward and backward by connecting to one arm of the lever and by swinging the bifurcated lever by driving the motor device. It is a feature.

[Action and effect of the invention]
(Invention of Claim 1)
When a material to be cut, such as potato, is introduced into the insertion port of the material to be cut material input portion, the material to be cut is placed on the upper part of the pressing piece of the material pressing means. Therefore, when the material to be cut is pushed by the push rod, the material to be cut is fed to the crossing portion of the blade while being held and guided by the holding piece. In this case, since the first tool post and the second tool post are alternately advanced and retracted in a crossing manner by the driving means, the material to be cut is obtained by corrugated or triangular uneven tool attached to each tool post. The surface and the back surface are each processed with unevenness and are sequentially cut to a predetermined thickness. Thus, the vegetable material cut into a predetermined thickness is provided with a concavo-convex shape such as a waveform having different directions on the front surface and the back surface.
[00 08 ]
The cut thickness of the material to be cut can be changed by adjusting the height of the receiving piece.
[00 09 ]
(Invention of Claim 2)
In the driving means, the link is crank-moved by driving the motor device to swing the forked lever, so that the first tool post and the second tool post advance and retreat alternately. Other operations are the same as those described in the first aspect of the present invention, and will not be described again here.
[00 10 ]
According to this vegetable cutting machine, it is possible to cut the surface of the vegetable and the back surface of the vegetable in different directions so as to cut into a predetermined thickness and efficiently process a large amount of vegetables.
