Abstract
A food spiral cutting machine includes a base, a drive unit, a screw, a cutter assembly and a locking device. The drive unit comprises a motor, a gearbox and an open drive nut. The gearbox comprises a planetary gear reduction group and a pair of bevel gears. A first bevel gear connects to the output of the planetary gear set, and the first bevel gear drives a second bevel gear which is provided with a spline inside the gear center hole. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear at right angle. An open drive nut rests on the underside of the screw. A screw is provided with a slot along the screw axis. The spline of the second bevel gear keys with the slot of the screw.
Claims9
A food spiral cutting machine comprising a base (1), a drive unit (2), a screw (3), a cutter assembly (4) and a locking device (6);
- wherein the drive unit (2) comprises a motor (21), a gear box (25) and an open drive nut (24);
- wherein the gear box (25) comprises a planetary gear reduction group and a first bevel gear (22) and a second bevel gear (23) that mesh at a right angle, said second bevel gear (23) is provided with a spline (232) inside a center hole of the second bevel gear;
- wherein the open drive nut (24) is configured to mesh with the screw (3);
- wherein the screw (3), which is provided with a slot (31), passes through the second bevel gear, where the slot (31) keys to the spline (232) and engages with the open drive nut;
- and
- wherein an output of the planetary gear reduction group drives the second bevel gear (23) via the first bevel gear (22), such that the rotation of the second bevel gear with the spline (232) rotates the screw (3) and the screw (3), which is resting on the open drive nut (24), moves forward.
