DE811606C - Vegetable cutting machine with rotating knife - Google Patents

Description

There are already vegetable cutting machines known in which to chopping vegetables, for example cabbage heads or the like, a rotating knife ring is fed from which it is cut into small pieces. A disadvantage this known device consists in that the material to be cut through the rotating Knife is also set slightly in a rotating motion, whereby the effectiveness the cutting process is impaired and the uniformity of the comminution is made difficult will.

According to the invention, this disadvantage is avoided in that before rotating knife ring a permanently installed knife is arranged in a Diameter plane of the cutting device lies and the material to be cut during the feed prevented from rotating. Preferably this knife is in the vertical Placed diameter plane of the inlet connection and rigid with both ends connected to the hopper. The vegetables to be cut are placed through an under Lever action pressed pressure plate preferably obliquely from above into the hopper pressed and progressively pressed against the fixed knife, from the larger one Vegetable pieces are cut up, whereupon the food to be cut against the rotating knife is pressed and cut evenly from these.

An embodiment of a vegetable cutting machine according to the invention is shown in the drawing in a purely schematic form.

Fig. I is a view from the knife side with the trigger omitted, Fig. 2 is a section along the line A-A in Fig. I with the pusher.

In the housing i is the disc 2 with the knives 3 or a Friction disc rotatably mounted. The drive, not shown, can be in any Way, e.g. B. by attaching it to a motor shaft. Before the cutting plane the rotating knife 3 is the knife 4, which is firmly in place with its two ends the hopper 5 is clamped in such a way; .Aass it by loosening a few screws can easily be removed for resharpening.

The hopper 5 is inclined upwards in the manner shown arched and can be folded up around the cardan shaft 6 after folding it down into the position of use but can be determined with the help of pawls. It is used for intake and supply of the material to be cut, which can be pivoted like a lever around the joint 6 by means of the same case Pressure plate 7 is pressed against the cutting device. The material to be cut is thereby first pressed into the cutting edge of the knife 4 and only then from the rotating Knives 3 detected so that it cannot rotate with the latter.

. Thanks to this arrangement, the entire opening cross-section of the feed container and the cutting disc can be used for the comminution.

Claims (3)

PATENT CLAIMS: i. Vegetable cutting machine with rotating knives, characterized in that a non-rotatably mounted knife (4) is arranged in front of the rotating knives (3). 2. Vegetable cutting machine according to claim i, characterized in that that the fixed knife (4) in the vertical plane of the diameter of the hopper (5) sits in which the material to be cut is slanted from above by means of a pivotable pusher (7) is introduced. 3. Vegetable cutting machine according to claims i and 2, characterized characterized in that the fixed knife (4) is easily detachable in the filling funnel (5) is screwed in.
