Description

  The present invention relates to a food log slicing apparatus for slicing a food log such as ham, cheese or bacon into a sliced food.

  Generally, when manufacturing sliced foods such as sliced ham, cheese, or bacon, a pillar-shaped food log (ham log, cheese log, bacon log, etc.) is sliced to a predetermined thickness by a food log slicing apparatus.

  As such a food log slicing device, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, the device rotates around a round blade shaft provided at an eccentric position on a rotatable rotating disk and revolves by the rotation of the rotating disk. There is known a structure in which a food cutting wood that is intermittently fed from a feeding base is sliced by the round blade on a public transfer path of the round blade.

  In some cases, a holder for removably attaching a food log to be fed from the feed table to the public transfer route of the round blade is attached to the end of the feed table on the side of the public transfer path.

  By the way, in the case where the holder is attached to the end of the inward transfer path of the feeding base, fine pieces and soup that are scattered when the raw food wood is sliced with a round blade are likely to adhere to the holder. Therefore, when slicing different types of food logs, it is necessary to remove the holder and clean or replace so that the deposits on the holder do not adhere to the new types of food logs.

  In that case, when removing the holder, it is necessary to stop the round blade at a position on the public transfer path away from the holder. However, even if the round blade is stopped at a position separated from the holder, the holder itself is located on the public transfer path of the round blade, so that there is a danger in the operation of attaching and detaching the holder.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, The place made into the objective is providing the food raw material slice apparatus which can perform the attachment or detachment operation | work of a holder safely from the outside of the public transfer path of a round blade. is there.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a round blade that rotates about a round blade shaft provided at an eccentric position on a rotatable rotating disk and revolves by the rotation of the rotating disk. A food log slicing apparatus is assumed that slices food logs that are intermittently fed from a feed table to the public transfer path of the food. Furthermore, a holder for holding a food log that is fed from the feed table to the public transfer path of the round blade is detachably attached to the end of the feed table on the side of the public transfer path. Further, the holder is provided with an operating means that allows the holder to be operated from outside the public transfer path of the round blade , and one end of the operating means is fixed to the holder and the other end is the public transfer path of the round blade. An operating member extending outward is provided. Then, the operation member is operated so as to convert the holder between an attachment position of the end of the feeding platform on the side of the public transfer path and a position outside the public transfer path of the round blade substantially outside the public transfer path , The holder is attached to and detached from one end of the operating member when the holder is converted to a position outside the public transfer path while the blade is stopped at a position on the public transfer path away from the holder . .

  Because of this specific matter, the holder attached to the mounting position on the end of the transfer path side of the feeding base is converted from the mounting position to the position outside the transfer path by operating the operating means from outside the transfer path of the round blade. It is attached and detached at the position outside the public transfer path. As a result, the holder can be safely attached and detached.

Further, the operation means may be provided with a rail extending between the attachment position of the holder and the position outside the public transfer path, and the operation member may be supported on the rail and operated along the rail .

  In this case, since the holder is fixed to one end of the operation member supported by the rail extending between the attachment position and the outside position of the transitional transfer path, the holder is attached to the mounting position and the outside position of the transitional path along the rail. The holder can be attached and detached smoothly.

  Furthermore, the rail may extend substantially parallel to the blade surface of the round blade.

  In this case, since the holder is converted along the blade surface of the round blade to the mounting position and the position outside the public transfer path, the space required for conversion of the holder is very compact along the blade surface of the round blade. Become. For this reason, even if the receiving conveyor etc. which receive the sliced food sliced with the round blade are connected to the end of the transfer platform on the side of the public transfer path, it is not necessary to move the receiving conveyor at the time of attaching / detaching the holder. As a result, it is possible to simplify the holder attaching / detaching work without the need to move the receiving conveyor and the like accompanying the holder attaching / detaching work.

  The holder can be attached and detached safely by changing the holder from the mounting position to the position outside the public transfer path by operating the operating means from outside the public transfer path of the round blade.

  The ham holder 32 is provided with operating means 33 that enables the ham holder 32 to be operated from outside the public transfer path 8 of the round blade 3. The operating means 33 includes an attachment position (a position indicated by a solid line and a broken line in FIG. 2) of the feed base 31 on the side of the public transfer path 8 and a position outside the public transfer path 8 (see FIG. 2) substantially outside the public transfer path 8. The position of the ham holder 32 is converted between the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. In this case, when the ham holder 32 is converted to the position outside the public transfer path, a part of the ham holder 32 is located in the public transfer path 8, but most of the ham holder 32 is located outside the public transfer path 8. This does not affect the operation of removing the ham holder 32 described later.

Here, the configuration of the operation means 33 will be specifically described.
The operating means 33 has a pair of rails 34 extending substantially parallel to the blade surface of the rotary blade 3 between the mounting position of the ham holder 32 and the position outside the public transfer path, and one end (the left end in FIG. 2) is the ham holder 32. 2 and the other end (the right end in FIG. 2) extends outside the public transfer path 8 of the round blade 3 and is slidably supported by the rail 34 to convert the ham holder 32 between the mounting position and the position outside the public transfer path. And an operation member 35. The ham holder 32 is inserted into a recess 35 b provided at one end of the operation member 35 and is fastened by two bolts 36 in this state. Further, the operation member 35 is bolted to the other side surface of the feeding base 31 to prevent the ham holder 32 from inadvertently moving. At the other end (extension end) of the operation member 35, a grip portion 35a is provided as an operation portion that enables an operation from outside the public transfer path 8.

  A receiving conveyor 41 is provided below the round blade 3 for receiving sliced food that is sliced and dropped by the round blade 3. The receiving conveyor 41 is connected to the end of the feeding base 31 on the side of the public transfer path 8. Further, a side panel 43 pivotally supported on the base 2 via a shaft 42 is provided on the other side of the receiving conveyor 41 (the front side in FIG. 1). The grip portion 35a of the operation member 35 is exposed by rotating to the right. Further, on the other side of the feed base 31, a notch 31a (shown in FIG. 2) is provided to avoid interference with the feed base 31 when the ham holder 32 is converted into the mounting position and the off-path position. The hum holder 32 can be smoothly moved by the operation member 35. Reference numeral 45 denotes an instruction unit that instructs the operation of the food log slicer 1.

Next, the procedure for removing the ham holder 32 will be described.
First, the side panel 43 is rotated outward about the shaft 42 to expose the grip portion 35a of the operation member 35. Then, the bolt that fixes the operation member 35 to the other side of the sending-in base 31 is removed to make the ham holder 32 movable. At this time, by removing the front panel 9 and exposing the round blade 3 forward, it may be confirmed that the round blade 3 is stopped at a position on the public transfer path 8 away from the ham holder 3.
Thereafter, the gripping portion 35a is pulled to pull out the operation member 35 along the rail, and the ham holder 32 is converted from the attachment position to the position outside the public transfer path. At this time, the ham holder 32 smoothly moves to the position outside the public transfer path via the notch 31a on the other side of the feeding base 31.
Then, the bolt 36 that fastens the ham holder 32 to the operation member 35 is loosened, and the ham holder 32 is taken out from the recess 35b.
On the other hand, when attaching the ham holder 32 to the end of the feeding base 31 on the side of the public transfer path 8, the ham holder 32 is attached by a procedure reverse to the above procedure.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the ham holder 32 attached to the mounting position on the end of the inward transfer path of the feeding base 31 is revolved from the mounting position by operating the operating member 35 from outside the revolving path 8 of the round blade 3. After being converted to the position outside the transition path, it is attached and detached at the position outside the public transfer path. Thereby, the attachment / detachment operation | work of the ham holder 32 can be performed safely.

  Moreover, the ham holder 32 is fixed to one end of the operation member 35 supported by a pair of rails 34 extending in parallel with the blade surface of the round blade 3 between the attachment position and the position outside the public transfer path. The holder 32 is easily converted in parallel with the blade surface of the round blade 3 into the mounting position and the position outside the public transfer path, and the space required for the conversion of the ham holder 2 is very compact along the blade surface of the round blade 3 It becomes. For this reason, even if the receiving conveyor 41 that receives the sliced food sliced by the round blade 3 is connected to the end of the feeding table 31 on the side of the public transfer path 8, the receiving conveyor 41 is moved when the ham holder 32 is attached or detached. There is no need to dismiss. Thereby, the removal work of the receiving conveyor 41 accompanying the attachment / detachment work of the ham holder 32 is unnecessary, and the attachment / detachment work of the ham holder 32 can be performed smoothly and easily.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, The other various modifications are included. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the ham holder 32 that holds the bacon log F is inserted into the recess 35b of the operation member 35. However, the ham holder 32 that holds the ham log and the holder that holds the cheese log can also be applied. Not too long. In this case, the concave portion at the center of the holder is formed in a shape that conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the lower portion of the raw food wood.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the operation member 35 was supported by the rail 34 extended substantially parallel to the blade surface of the round blade 3, it supports the operation member rotatably around the axis | shaft parallel to the rotating shaft of a round blade, The operation member may be converted upward or downward from the attachment position to the position outside the public transfer path.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the ham holder 32 is converted from the mounting position to the position outside the public transfer path substantially outside the public transfer path 8 of the round blade 3, but the ham holder 32 is made a little longer, for example. May be reliably converted to a position outside the public transition path of the round blade.
