The present disclosure claims priority Chinese Patent Application No. 202223598559.8, filed on Dec. 28 2022 and entitled “Cheese Slicing Tool”.
The present disclosure relates to a technical field of kitchen tools, and more particularly to a cheese slicing tool.
A cheese slicer belongs to a cutting tool configured to chop a cheese cube into slices. At present, most cheese slicing machines on the market cannot replace a slicing wire, and the service life of the wire is limited. After the wire is broken, the whole cheese slicing machine is directly scrapped. There is also a cheese scrapper on the market, which mainly matches a metal scrapping wire, a roller and a main body for fixing the metal scrapping wire and the roller on the main body, and in use, the cheese cube is sliced into pieces by a gap formed between the metal scrapping wire and the roller. However, when a problem occurs in the metal scrapping wire, for example, the scrapping wire is irreversibly elongated under stress, the scraping wire cannot be further tightened, thereby making the cheese scrapper very difficult to use.
An object of the present disclosure is to overcome the problem that the cheese slicing tool known to inventors cannot replace a slicing wire or the slicing wire cannot be continuously tightened after being irreversibly elongated under stress, and to provide a cheese slicing tool that can be tightened after being elongated or loosened by the slicing wire, so as to restore a slicing function, or can be easily disassembled and replaced after the slicing wire is broken or damaged.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical solution adopted by the present disclosure is as follows.
The cheese slicing tool includes a hand-held part and a slicing part connected to each other. The slicing part includes a support frame, a roller assembly, a slicing wire assembly and a first locking assembly. The roller assembly and the slicing wire assembly are both provided on the support frame, the roller assembly is movably connected with the support frame, the slicing wire assembly is located at a front end of the roller assembly, a gap is provided between the slicing wire assembly and the roller assembly, the slicing wire assembly is provided across both ends of the support frame and a part of the slicing wire assembly is embedded into the support frame, a first end of the slicing wire assembly is clamped to the support frame and a second end of the slicing wire assembly is clamped to the first locking assembly, and the first locking assembly is inserted into the support frame.
In the above-mentioned solution, by means of inserting the first locking assembly into the support frame, and adjusting the tightness of the slicing wire assembly by using the change of the relative insertion positions of the first locking assembly and the support frame, the slicing wire assembly with two ends embedded into the support frame is always kept tight, so as to achieve a cheese slicing function. In some embodiments, the gap between the slicing wire assembly and the roller assembly is a thickness of a cheese slice, the hand-held part is held and then the roller assembly of the slicing part is abutted against and is pressed on a cheese cube, so that the slicing wire assembly is in contact with an end of the cheese cube and performs cutting by rotating the roller assembly, and the hand-held part is dragged to roll the roller assembly over the entire cheese cube, so as to complete cutting of one cheese slice.
In some embodiments, the first locking assembly includes a first member and a second member. The first member is clamped with the slicing wire assembly, the first member and the second member are respectively inserted into the support frame from both sides of the support frame, and the first member is in threaded connection with the second member. The first locking assembly is installed by directly or indirectly inserting the first member and the second member into the support frame, and is fixed by using a threaded connection between the first member and the second member, and at the same time, the first member is clamped with the slicing wire assembly, so that the slicing wire assembly is fixed during the fixing of the first locking assembly. By using the threaded connection between the second member and the first member, an insertion position of the first member relative to the support frame is changed to adjust the tightness of the slicing wire assembly, so that a part of the slicing wire assembly located in a middle of the support frame is always in a tight state to facilitate the cheese cutting.
In some embodiments, each of both ends of the support frame is provided with a connecting cylinder, a cavity is provided in the connecting cylinder, and the cavity includes a first cavity and a second cavity communicating with each other. An end, far away from the slicing wire assembly, of the first member is provided with an internal thread, the second member is provided with an external thread, the first member is inserted into the first cavity of the connecting cylinder from an end, close to the slicing wire assembly, of the connecting cylinder to be inserted into the connecting cylinder, and the second member is in threaded connection with the first member through the external thread and the internal thread after being inserted into the second cavity of the connecting cylinder from an end, far away from the slicing wire assembly, of the connecting cylinder. The first cavity is provided to facilitate the insertion of the first member and facilitate the threaded connection between the second member and the first member after the second member is inserted into the second cavity of the connecting cylinder.
In some embodiments, a shape of the first cavity is adapted to an outer shape of the first member, and cross-sections of the first cavity and the first member are triangular or polygonal. By means of providing a shape of the first cavity, the first cavity is adapted to the outer shape of the first member, and after the first member is inserted into the connecting cylinder, the first member and the connecting cylinder cannot rotate relatively, so that during the threaded connection between the second member and the first member, an insertion depth of the first member in the connecting cylinder can be adjusted through the depth of the threaded connection. In fact, the longer the depth of the threaded connection between the second member and the first member, the greater the insertion depth of the first member in the connecting cylinder is, and then the slicing wire assembly is pulled down to change from a loosened state to a tight state. The cross-section of the first cavity and the first member is triangular or polygonal, such as quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc., which avoids the first member and the connecting cylinder from rotating relatively after insertion under stress. Of course, the first cavity is cylindrical, and the outer shape of the first member is adapted to the first cavity. A limiting protrusion or a limiting groove is provided in the first cavity so as to limit a rotation between the first cavity and the first member, and within the scope of cognition of those skilled in the art, the shape of the first cavity and the shape of the first member are not limited to the above-mentioned range, but can also be configured for other shapes, as long as it is ensured that the first member is not rotate relative to the connecting cylinder during the threaded connection between the second member and the first member after insertion.
In some embodiments, the slicing wire assembly includes a slicing wire and two buckles. The two buckles are respectively provided at both ends of the slicing wire, one of the two buckles is clamped with an end of the support frame, and the other one of the two buckles is clamped with the first member. The slicing wire is configured to achieve cheese cutting, and in some embodiments, the slicing wire is made of a metal material so as to improve the strength and hardness of the slicing wire during cutting, facilitate the cutting, and prolong the service life of the slicing wire. The buckles are configured to enable the slicing wire to be clamped to the support frame or the first member. Specifically, by means of clamping one of the two buckles to the end, far away from the first member, of the support frame, and clamping the other one of the two buckles to the first member to achieve the connection of the slicing wire assembly, the adjustment of the position of the first member relative to the support frame can achieve the adjustment of the position of the wire slicing assembly relative to the support frame.
In some embodiments, a top of the support frame is provided with a first threading groove, an end, far away from the first locking assembly, of the support frame is provided with a first blind hole, a side of the first member is provided with a second blind hole, a top of the first member is provided with a second threading groove, both ends of the slicing wire is respectively inserted into the first threading groove and the second threading groove, and the two buckles are respectively clamped to the first blind hole and the second blind hole. The first threading groove and the second threading groove are both configured to limit the slicing wire, and the slicing wire and the support frame are installed by means of inserting the slicing wire into the first threading groove and clamping one of the two buckles at an end of the slicing wire to the first blind hole. By means of inserting the slicing wire into the second threading groove, the slicing wire is limited and fixed on the first member, and then the other one of the two buckles is clamped into the second blind hole, so that the connection between the slicing wire assembly and the first member are performed.
In some embodiments, the cheese slicing tool further includes two second locking assemblies. Both ends of the support frame are respectively provided with a chute, the roller assembly include a roller, two ends of the roller are respectively slidably connected with two chutes on two ends of the support frame, and the two second locking assemblies are respectively inserted into the two chutes from both ends of the support frame for locking and fixing the roller assembly. The roller is slidably connected with the chutes, and by means of adjusting the positions of the roller in the chutes, the gap between the roller assembly and the slicing wire is adjusted, thereby changing the thickness of cheese cutting. The second locking assemblies are configured to fasten the roller assembly after the position of the roller assembly relative to the chutes is adjusted, so that the gap between the roller assembly and the slicing wire is maintained, and therefore a fixed thickness is provided during cheese slicing.
In some embodiments, the roller assembly includes a rotating shaft. The roller is sleeved on the rotating shaft, both ends of the rotating shaft are respectively slidably connected with the two chutes, and the second locking assemblies is inserted into or abutted against the rotating shaft for locking. The roller is configured for positioning, and is abutted against the top of the cheese cube during cheese slicing. The rotating shaft has two functions, on the one hand, the roller is rotated relative to the support frame so as to facilitate the cheese cutting; and on the other hand, the rotating shaft is slidably connected with the support frame to adjust the gap between the roller and the slicing wire, so as to adjust the thickness of the cheese slice.
In some embodiments, both ends of the rotating shaft are provided with milling flats, the milling flats is provided with a threaded holes, an end of each of the two second locking assemblies is provided with an external thread, and each of the two second locking assemblies is in threaded connection with the rotating shaft through the external thread of each of the two second locking assemblies and a corresponding threaded hole of a corresponding milling flat after passing through the support frame.
