Abstract

A dicer is provided with a power output shaft in the container, and deceleration components and cutter disks on the output shaft. The cutter disks comprises a slicing cutter disk and a dicing cutter disk, a block in the container cover, a handle in the slicing cutter disk, and through-holes in the dicing cutter disk. The dicer is able to cut food into pieces with the same shape and size, and the dicing effectiveness is substantially perfect. The deceleration components have simple structure, which occupy small space and are convenient for household use. The handle is provided on the slicing cutter disk to facilitate detachment of the slice cutter disk for cleaning, and a through-hole is defined in the dicing cutter disk to facilitate detachment of the cutter disk for cleaning. The block makes the slicing cutter disk stable when rotating, to facilitate dicing.

Claims

1. A motor-driven dicer including a body, a container for containing dicing food, and a container cover on the container for covering the container, which is characterized in that a power output shaft is provided in the container, and deceleration components and cutter disks are provided on the output shaft;

wherein the cutter disks include a slicing cutter disk and a dicing cutter disk, the dicing cutter disk being provided under the slicing cutter disk, a slicing cutter being provided on the slicing cutter disk, a dicing grid cutter being provided on the dicing cutter disk, the dicing cutter disk being fixed;

wherein the deceleration components include a central gear on the output shaft, a deceleration box being provided on the central gear, and a annular gear being provided on the deceleration box;

wherein the deceleration box includes a box and a button cover, the box and the bottom cover forming a cavity with cavity gears therein, the cavity gears including 1˜

6 medium gears, each of the medium gears having a gear needle at axis location, convex blocks being formed on a top surface of the bottom cover, needle holes being defined in the convex blocks for fitting to the gear needles, and the gear needles, the convex blocks, the needle holes and the medium gears being the same in quantity; and

wherein through-holes are defined in the box to facilitate the medium gears to extend out, the number of the through-holes being the same as the number of the medium gears, the gears group meshing with the central gear and the annular gear respectively.

2. The dicer of claim 1, wherein the deceleration box is mounted on the slicing cutter disk or the dicing cutter disk.

3. The dicer of claim 1, wherein a shaft pin is provided on a top of the power output shaft, and a bearing is provided on the container cover to fix the shaft pin.

4. The dicer of claim 3, wherein a groove is defined in an inner edge of the container cover, a block being provided in the groove, the block having one end in contact with an inner wall of the container cover, and the other end pressing an edge of the slicing cutter disk.

5. The dicer of claim 4, wherein a handle is provided on the slicing cutter disk for facilitating to detach the slicing cutter disk, and a through-hole is defined in the dicing cutter disk for facilitating to detach the dicing cutter disk.

6. The dicer of claim 5, wherein a feeding tube is extended on the container cover, and has a push rod matching therewith, the container cover and the feeding tube being formed integrally, the grid cutter being exactly under the feeding tube.
