In Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the upper end of food cutting device is (following for being cut food, referred to as " food ") supply unit, front surface bottom is the extraction portion 8 of food, front surface is all covered by front surface panel 15 except above-mentioned supply unit and extraction portion 8, and left and right sides are covered by side cover 14 respectively.Be configured to, initial position before the action of this device starts, on above-mentioned supply unit, there is food mounting table 5, in this food mounting table 5, so that length direction for example, towards the posture mounting food 10 of horizontal direction, roll sushi meal with laver the column laver volume forming.When food 10 is placed in food mounting table 5 and while pressing starting switch, food mounting table 5 moves to the front side lower part of device by the driving mechanism in rear detailed description, move in way at this, the cut cutter of food 10 cuts into disc-shaped, and is delivered to above-mentioned extraction portion 8.Be configured to, the food 10 that is delivered to extraction portion 8 from food mounting table 5 is by the inclined lead parts 81 of fixing and be tilted that guide member 81 guides and the receiving-member 82 that moves up and down receives, receiving-member 82 oliquely downward slides, and food mounting table 5 returns to original position by above-mentioned driving mechanism.

Next, describe the internal structure of above-mentioned food cutting device in detail.In Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 and Fig. 9, food cutting device has: base 1; The side plate 4 of left and right, it is combined and vertically erects in parallel to each other with the both ends, left and right of base 1; And backboard, it links the rearward end of each side plate 4, and the side plate 4 by these bases 1, left and right and backboard form the skeleton of food cutting device.Forward position at device disposes cutter fixed frame 2(with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 with the posture roughly vertically erecting).Cutter fixed frame 2 falls into two end edge portions of left and right along pair of guide rails, and is in fact fixed on by above-mentioned guide rail between the side plate 4 of left and right, and wherein, above-mentioned guide rail is fixed on towards above-below direction on the side plate 4 of left and right.

As shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 5 and Fig. 8, cutter fixed frame 2 is the quadrilateral frame shape that the height of aspect ratio device entirety is slightly low, many length direction both ends of cutter 3 maintaining up and down of cutter fixed frame 2, and each cutter 3 are longitudinally arranged in parallel to each other.In illustrated example, seven configure cutter 3 with fixed intervals, thereby food 10 is divided into eight parts.Each cutter 3 are elongated lamellar parts, so that its width configures towards the mode of rear side towards the fore-and-aft direction of device and the formation edge of blade.The surface of each cutter 3 is coated with such as fluororesin etc., so that realize better the slip with respect to food 10.Because each cutter 3 are two ends fixed forms, the both ends of its length direction are held in the upper and lower of cutter fixed frame 2, so even elongated lamellar parts as described above also can be guaranteed enough large mechanical strength.With the many of the fixing shape maintenance in two ends, cutter 3 are formed to cutter unit 100 by cutter fixed frame 2 with by this cutter fixed frame 2.Below, describe cutter unit 100 in detail.

In Fig. 4 to Fig. 8, in the rear side of cutter fixed frame 2, along the upside crossbeam 21 and the downside crossbeam 22 that form cutter fixed frame 2, dispose tension force in upper end and give piece 110 respectively, dispose tension force holding plate 120 in bottom.Tension force gives piece 110 and tension force holding plate 120 is brought into play function as cutter hook part part.At the length direction both ends of the upside crossbeam 21 of cutter fixed frame 2, be inserted with the tension adjustment screw 130 as tension adjustment parts from the upside of crossbeam 21, the threaded portion of each tension adjustment screw 130 is screwed at tension force and gives in the screwed hole of piece 110.The head of each tension adjustment screw 130 is outstanding from the upper surface of upside crossbeam 21, and brings into play function as the tension adjustment knob of cutter 3.Each tension adjustment screw 130 embeds as follows: can rotate around central axis with respect to above-mentioned crossbeam 21, still, cannot move along central axial direction with respect to crossbeam 21.Therefore,, by the head of each tension adjustment screw 130 is rotated to operation, can carry out position adjustment away from the mode of crossbeam 21 to give piece 110 to crossbeam 21 drawing tensions or to make tension force give piece 110.Mentioned strain holding plate 120 is fixed on above-mentioned downside crossbeam 22.

As shown in Figure 7, give at tension force on the upper surface of piece 110, in tension force is given the length range of piece 110, be formed with the groove 111 being in the shape of the letter V while observation from the side.In addition, as shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 8, give on piece 110 at tension force, be formed with multiple for inserting the slit 112 of cutter 3 with fixed intervals, this slit 112 is the rear side of giving piece 110 from tension force, gives the width of piece 110, in Fig. 4, Fig. 8, along the vertical direction tension force is given to piece 110 transverse cuts form along tension force.At the both ends of each cutter 3, as in rear detailed expression, be fixed with lug boss (boss), give and between piece 110, offer gap 23 at above-mentioned crossbeam 21 and tension force, can pass with the lug boss of the upper end that makes each cutter 3.

As shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, tension force holding plate 120 is by carrying out punching press to metallic plate and warpage is made.The side view of the upper end edge portion of tension force holding plate 120 is turned back as V word shape, and therefore, the top of tension force holding plate 120 is made up of the groove 124 of inverted v-shaped.On tension force holding plate 120, along the above-below direction of tension force holding plate 120 and on the length direction of tension force holding plate 120, be formed with for the bottom of each cutter 3 being imported to the multiple slits 121 in tension force holding plate 120 from rear side with fixed intervals.In the centre of the length direction of each slit 121, so that the mode that the lug boss of the bottom of each cutter 3 can pass is formed with widening portion 122.As shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 8, each widening portion 122 is take slit 121 as border, and the width of left and right one side is narrower, the wider width of opposite side.Refer at this said width the degree of depth of cutting from slit 121, width is narrower refers to that penetraction depth is more shallow.

Fig. 6 illustrates the structure of the lug boss at the both ends that are fixed on each cutter 3.Lug boss is made up of male projections portion 140 and female projections portion 150.Male projections portion 140, take head as main body, has the axial region 141 extending from this head along central axis.Female projections portion 150 is the tubular that external diameter equates with the head outer diameter of male projections portion 140, and the external diameter of the axial region 141 of the internal diameter of centre bore 151 and male projections portion 140 is roughly equal.The axis direction length of the head of the axis direction Length Ratio male projections portion 140 of female projections portion 150 is longer, and, roughly equal or longer than it with the axis direction length of the axial region 141 of male projections portion 140.Be formed with the hole that the axial region 141 for making male projections portion 140 runs through at the both ends of each cutter 3, the axial region 141 of male projections portion 140 is extended through this hole from the one side side of cutter 3, and the centre bore of female projections portion 150 151 is embedded on the axial region 141 of the side-prominent above-mentioned male projections portion 140 of another side at cutter 3.And, implement the operations such as riveted joint (caulking) by the axial region 141 to male projections portion 140, male projections portion 140 and female projections portion 150 are fixed on cutter 3 integratedly.

As shown in Figure 8, about the concavo-convex relationship that is fixed on the lug boss on each cutter 3, distolateral and another is distolateral at cutter 3, opposite each other across the one side side of cutter 3 and the lug boss of another side side.; in the example shown in Fig. 8; in the upper end of each cutter 3; the left surface side of each cutter 3 has male projections portion 140; right flank side has female projections portion 150; in the bottom of each cutter 3, the left surface side of each cutter 3 has female projections portion 150, and right flank side has male projections portion 140.And, about being formed on widening portion 122 in each slit 121 of the mentioned strain holding plate 120 left and right width with respect to slit 121, as shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 8, left side is widened, Road narrows on right, and wherein, mentioned strain holding plate 120 is fixed on the downside crossbeam 22 of cutter fixed frame 2.

Because the lug boss of each cutter 3 forms in the above described manner, the widening portion 122 of each slit 121 of tension force holding plate 120 forms in the above described manner, therefore, in the time that slit 121 is passed in an end that makes cutter 3, can make female projections portion 150 pass from the above-mentioned widening portion of widening, male projections portion 140 is passed from the narrower above-mentioned widening portion of width.Suppose, if by cutter 3 towards reversion, the widening portion that female projections portion 150 can be narrower with width touches, and cannot make female projections portion 150 pass from above-mentioned widening portion, thereby cutter 3 cannot be arranged on cutter fixed frame 2.The reason forming is like this, need to by each cutter 3 to stipulate towards installation, that is, need so that knife edge part is installed towards the mode of the rear side of cutter fixed frame 2.

The bottom of each cutter 3 can be installed in the above described manner with respect to tension force holding plate 12.The slit 112 that makes cutter 3 give piece 110 from tension force passes through, and the lug boss of cutter 3 is passed from above-mentioned gap 23, thus, and the upper end that can give piece 110 each cutter 3 are installed with respect to tension force.Like this, the both ends up and down of each cutter 3 being arranged on after tension force gives on piece 110 and tension force holding plate 120, above-mentioned a pair of tension adjustment screw 130 is rotated operation and gives piece 110 by tension force and draw to upside crossbeam 21.Draw to crossbeam 21 by tension force being given to piece 110, as shown in Figure 7, the upper and lower lug boss of each cutter 3 is embedded in tension force and gives in the suitable part in the lowest point with V word of the groove 111 of V font of piece 110 and the groove 124 of the word of the falling V shape of tension force holding plate 120, thereby gives tension force to each cutter 3.

Can adjust by a pair of tension adjustment screw 130 tension force of each cutter 3 entirety effects.Because not being carries out tension adjustment to each cutter individually, so tension adjustment of cutter that can be in existing food cutting device, give tension force cutter and result causes the tension force composite value of all cutter excessive to each, thereby can prevent unfavorable condition as described above.

Carry out corrective action in the tension force of each cutter 3 entirety owing to being configured to by a pair of tension adjustment screw 130, so because dimensional accuracy error, the tension force of cutter 3 and concavo-convex lug boss 140,150 are given trueness error of piece 110 and tension force holding plate 120 etc. and produce tension force deviation on each cutter 3.Difference according to circumstances, even as a whole and effect has regulation tension force, also may exist act on a part of cutter 3 tension force a little less than, or almost there is no the situation of working tension.But, as mentioned above, the suitable part in the lowest point with V font of giving piece 110 and tension force holding plate 120 in tension force due to the upper and lower boss of each cutter 3, so in the time making food abut on cutter by driving mechanism described later, as shown in the arrow of Fig. 7, above-mentioned upper and lower lug boss and tension force are given the inclined-plane butt of the lowest point of the V font of piece 110 and tension force holding plate 120.Above-mentioned lug boss is along these inclined-planes and butt, thus, as shown in the arrow of Fig. 7, the component of the lug boss that generates the both ends that make cutter 3 direction away from each other, thus on cutter 3, be applied with tension force.Larger to the pressing force of cutter 3 based on food, this tension force increases correspondingly.Like this, because each cutter 3 act on and have needed tension force in the time bringing into play function as cutter, so the tension force that each cutter 3 are given can be a little less than, even if the mutual tension force deviation of each cutter 3 more can not cause food cutting performance to worsen more yet.

The cutter unit 100 forming as described above, as mentioned above, two end edge portions of the left and right of cutter fixed frame 2 are fallen into along pair of guide rails, be arranged on thus on food cutting device, wherein, described pair of guide rails is fixed on the side plate 4 of left and right along the vertical direction.The blade tip of the each cutter 3 when cutter unit 100 is installed is towards the rear side of food cutting device.

Next, other structure divisions of food cutting device are described.As shown in Figure 9, the side view of the roughly half of the upside of above-mentioned food mounting table 5 is formed as L font, thus, can load the food 10 before cutting in the corner portion being made up of horizontal sides and perpendicular edge of L word.More specifically, the part that the along continuous straight runs of above-mentioned L word extends becomes the bottom surface carrier 51 of food 10, and the part of vertically extending of above-mentioned L word becomes the back side carrier 52 of food 10.The laver of being accepted by food mounting table 5 is rolled up such food and has number of sizes, also can be held in correspondingly the mechanism in food mounting table 5 even if be provided with the size difference of food.But described mechanism and the present application do not have direct relation, therefore description thereof is omitted.

For the food 10 loading in food mounting table 5 being cut by above-mentioned cutter 3, in food mounting table 5, be formed with the slit 58 that can enter for cutter 3.Slit 58 is set as quantity and position is corresponding with the quantity and the setting position that are fixed on the cutter 3 on cutter fixed frame 2.In illustrated embodiment, can select to make the mode of quantity as four parts, six parts or eight parts of cutting apart of food 10, centered by the central slit of left and right directions, forming slit 58 in corresponding position respectively with the above-mentioned quantity of cutting apart.Each slit 58 is incision dearly across the large scope including above-mentioned bottom surface carrier 51 and back side carrier 52, reliably food 10 is cut can meet into cutter 3.

As shown in Fig. 9 waits, in food mounting table 5, the both ends of carrier 52 are provided with the confinement plate 56 of the length direction end positions for limiting the food 10 being loaded overleaf.Confinement plate 56 carries out warpage shaping by metallic plate and forms, and is arranged on back side carrier 52 by hold-down screw.If food 10, for for example laver sushi volume, because the size of laver is standardized as 205mm × 185mm, is still lengthways rolled laver so roll laver according to growing crosswise, the length of the laver sushi volume before cutting changes.Therefore, adjust the interval of a pair of confinement plate 56 so that it is consistent with the length of laver sushi volume.

Next, be described in detail in the driving mechanism of the food mounting table representing with Reference numeral 6 in Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 9.In Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 9, on the medial surface of left plate 4, be fixed with the motor 61 as drive source, the gear 62 being fixed on the output shaft of motor 61 engages with the gear 63 being fixed on axle 64.Axle 64 can be supported rotatably across the side plate 4 of left and right, and the both ends of the axle 64 of the side plate 4 about running through are fixed with respectively actuating arm 65.Be configured to, the rotary driving force of motor 61 is passed to axle 64 via

gear

62,63, makes to rotarily actuate in the face parallel with the lateral surface of each side plate 4 with each actuating arm 65 of axle 64 one.Each actuating arm 65 edges have slotted hole 66 through the straight line of the pivot of axle 64.

As shown in Figure 9, in the bottom of food mounting table 5, by this bottom along left and right directions and flatly run through and two

axles

53,54 are installed.

Axle

53,54 is parallel to each other, and axle 53 is configured in the fore-and-aft direction central portion of food mounting table 5, and axle 54 is configured in the fore-and-aft direction rear portion of food mounting table 5.In these two

axles

53,54, the both ends of the axle 53 of front side (the fore-and-aft direction central portion of food mounting table 5) are embedded in respectively in the slotted hole 66 of above-mentioned actuating arm 65 of both sides.Therefore, when each actuating arm 65 is together with axle 64 centered by axle 64 and while being driven in rotation, axle 53 is pressed by the wall of slotted hole 66, and along with the rotation of each actuating arm 65, food mounting table 5 is also limited mobile on one side on one side by cam path 91 described later.Food 10 also moves together with this food mounting table 5, moves in way at this, and food 10 passes from the position of cutter 3, and food 10 is cut.

On each side plate 4 of left and right, be formed with the cam path 91 that is the same shape overlapping while observation from the side.In these cam paths 91, be embedded with the both ends that are arranged on two

axles

53,54 in food mounting table 5, two

axles

53,54 are supported by the wall of each cam path 91, and also bring into play function as food mounting table 5 with respect to the cam follower of cam path 91.The height and position of food mounting table 5 and posture determine according to the height and position of two

axles

53,54 and the difference of relative altitude, and the relative altitude position relation of two

axles

53,54 is determined according to the shape of cam path 91.

Fig. 2, Fig. 9 illustrate the initial position before a series of food cutting action starts.In this initial position, each actuating arm 65 is the almost approaching posture vertically at utmost erecting.Under this state, as shown in Figure 9, above-mentioned two

axles

53,54 are embedded in the upper end of cam path 91, to make food mounting table 5 be positioned at extreme higher position.In addition, as shown in Figure 10, Figure 11, the upper end of cam path 91 is that the rear side of this arc sections 92 reduces gradually towards the mild arc sections 92 of fore-and-aft direction.And in the time that food mounting table 5 is positioned at extreme higher position as described above, two

axles

53,54 are positioned in above-mentioned arc sections 92, food mounting table 5 is the posture of layback a little.

In addition, as shown in Figure 10, Figure 12 etc., above-mentioned cam path 91 is with continuous towards arc sections 93 oliquely downward from above-mentioned arc sections 92, and arc sections 93 is continuous with the line part 94 further extending to oblique inferoanterior.When food mounting table 5 starts that mobile, food 10 moves together with food mounting table 5 and while starting to contact with cutter 3, above-mentioned two

axles

53,54 arrive arc sections 93 from above-mentioned initial position.In the time that two

axles

53,54 pass through from arc sections 93, food mounting table 5 moves to front lower place on one side and makes its posture gradually downward on one side.That is, the face of the downside of the above-mentioned arc sections 93 of cam path 91 is convex surface, and so that food mounting table 5 and the inclination angle of food 10 are increased gradually, cutter 3 change continuously with respect to the angle that enters of food 10, and food 10 accelerates with cutter 3 relative velocities.

As mentioned above, when food 10 being positioned in the food mounting table 5 that is the posture that receives food 10 and when driving mechanism 6 is moved, two

axles

53,54 move to arc sections 93 from the arc sections 92 of cam path 91, and further move to line part 94.

53,54, the mutual position relationship of cam path 91, so that when the posture of proper change food mounting table 5, the food 10 being positioned in food mounting table 5 starts to contact with cutter 3.

Axle

53,54 from above-mentioned arc sections 93 by guided by the line part 94 of cam path 91, food mounting table 5 keeps above-mentioned forward lean and oliquely downward moves with linearity from top as described above, the cut cutter 3 of food cuts.Food 10 after cutting moves to the taking-up parts 8 that the following describes, and then, driving mechanism 6 makes food mounting table 5 return to original position to counteragent.

The reciprocating action of such driving mechanism 6 can for example only be undertaken by pressing start button.In the time pressing start button, above-mentioned motor 61 drives to forward direction, and actuating arm 65 rotarilys actuate to clockwise direction in Fig. 9.The direction of rotation of this actuating arm 65 is forward moving direction, and above-mentioned motor 61 drives until the mobile limit of forward moving direction detected to forward direction.In the time that actuating arm 65 arrives the extreme position of forward moving direction, the driving direction of motor switches to reverse directions, and actuating arm 65 drives to reverse moving direction, in the time the mobile limit of reverse moving direction being detected, stops the driving of motor 61.Like this, by moving back and forth of actuating arm 65, food mounting table 5 changes as described above posture while declines, and after the cut cutter 3 of food 10 being kept by food mounting table 5 cuts, only food mounting table 5 returns to original position.

Next, describe the structure of the carrier of above-mentioned food in detail.As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3, be provided with the extraction portion 8 of the food 10 after cutting at the front side lower part of device.Extraction portion 8 has: so that downside is with to the fixing inclined lead parts 81 of the front side-prominent mode towards tilting of device with guided by these inclined lead parts 81 and the receiving-member 82 that moves up and down.On the front surface of inclined lead parts 81, the mode successfully falling along inclined lead parts 81 with the food 10 that can make after cutting, is longitudinally formed with multiple ribs 85 abreast, has reduced the resistance to sliding between food 10.

Thereby receiving-member 82 is outstanding towards oblique front upper place towards right angle orientation with respect to the front surface of inclined lead parts 81.Receiving-member 82 is shaped and is made by warpage, and its base portion becomes the sliding part 86 that is tilted the front surface guiding of guide member 81 and move up and down sideling.Left and right directions both ends at this sliding part 86 are formed with joggling part 88.Each joggling part 88 runs through the guiding groove 87 at the both ends that are formed at along the vertical direction inclined lead parts 81 and slips into the rear side of inclined lead parts 81, and then give prominence to two sides of inclined lead parts 81, and be fixed on the front surface of slide unit 89 by screw.Each slide unit 89 is rectangular-shaped parts, and the guide rail 90 that is U font by cross section guides and slides.Guide rail 90 is fixed on towards the mode of side on the lateral surface of side plate 4 of left and right with open end parallel with inclined lead parts 81 and that make U shaped sections.On each guide rail 90, be formed with the avoidance hole 91 with respect to above-mentioned joggling part 88, in the time sliding, become obstacle with the above-mentioned joggling part 88 of avoiding receiving-member 82 together with slide unit 89.

Receiving-member 82 drives by the rotation of the pitman arm 30 of pair of right and left.Each pitman arm 30, centered by common axle 31, is arranged on the position on the lower of lateral surface of the side plate 4 of left and right in the mode that can rotate in the vertical plane parallel with side plate 4.The base end part of the pitman arm 30 side plate 4 on the left of being installed on when observe the food cutting device of the present embodiment from front, being fixed with axle 31 is concentrically ringed pinion 32.Be formed with the slotted hole 33 along the line passing from Zhou31 center at the leading section of each pitman arm 30, in each slotted hole 33, be embedded with the pin 34 in the side that is implanted to each slide unit 89.Therefore, be configured to, in the time that pitman arm 30 rotarilys actuate, pin 34 is pressed by the sidewall of this slotted hole 33, and receiving-member 82 is guided an oblique above-below direction in edge to rise, decline by guide rail 90 on one side together with pin 34.

In the present embodiment, the drive source of pitman arm 30 is motor 61, and the driving force of motor 61 is passed to pitman arm 30 via following such link gear.On near the lateral surface length direction central authorities of above-mentioned each actuating arm 65, implant and have pin 68.Be that above-mentioned axle 64 keeps fan-shaped gear wheel 20 by the pivot of actuating arm 65.Gear wheel 20 has axle 64 in the position that is equivalent to the center of fanning, and is formed with gear along the circular arc centered by axle 64.Gear wheel 20 is with respect to axle 64 free phases to rotation, and gear forming section engages with above-mentioned pinion 32.

Being in fan-shaped gear wheel 20, in Fig. 9, on the side of upside, be fixed with the linkage board 40 of triangle.Linkage board 40 roughly has slotted hole 41 in orthogonal direction at the length direction with respect to actuating arm 65.In this slotted hole 41, be embedded with the pin 68 of actuating arm 65.Wherein, the width of slotted hole 41 is enough large with respect to the external diameter of pin 68, in the time that pin 68 moves within the scope of the length direction of slotted hole 41, can not contact with the wall that marks off slotted hole 41, in the time that pin 68 arrives the length direction two ends of slotted hole 41, drives gear wheel 20.

Under the state shown in Fig. 9, actuating arm 65 is to counterclockwise rotation to greatest extent, and as described above, food mounting table 5 moves to upper, is the posture that receives food 10.Under this state, above-mentioned pin 68 be positioned at linkage board 40 slotted hole 41 one end and linkage board 40 is promoted, make with the gear wheel 20 of linkage board 40 one centered by axle 64 to counterclockwise rotation.The revolving force of gear wheel 20 is passed to pinion 32 and pinion 32 is rotated.Under the state shown in Fig. 9, pinion 32 is to rotation to greatest extent clockwise, by making slide unit 89 drop to extreme position to right handed pitman arm 30 integratedly with pinion 32.Slide unit 89 touches and is limited mobilely at the stop 35 of falling-threshold position and bottom, with together with the receiving-member 82 of slide unit 89 one, stably keeps down position.

Actuating arm 65 is from the position shown in Fig. 4 to rotariling actuate clockwise, sell as shown in Figure 11 68 touch with the upper limb of gear wheel 20 before, pin 68 is only drawn circular arc and is moved on one side the slotted hole 41 of linkage board 40 is interior, there is no the parts with pin 68 interlocks.Operating state shown in Figure 11 is that the cut cutter 3 of food 10 has cut the state when only about half of.Along with actuating arm 65 further rotates to clockwise direction from the operating state shown in Figure 11, pin 68 is pressed the upper limb of gear wheel 20, makes gear wheel 20 to rotation clockwise.The revolving force of this gear wheel 20 is passed to pinion 32, and pinion 32 is to counterclockwise rotariling actuate, and this revolving force is passed to pitman arm 30 and pitman arm 30 is rotarilyd actuate to counter clockwise direction centered by axle 31.Figure 11, Figure 12 illustrate the clockwise direction rotation based on gear wheel 20 and make pinion 32 and pitman arm 30 to the process midway of counterclockwise rotating.By this pitman arm 30, to anticlockwise rotation, slide unit 89 and the actual receiving-member 82 of one are with it tilted guide member 81 via slotted hole 33 and pin 34 and guide and raised obliquely upward.

Be designed to, with respect to the ratio of the length of pitman arm 30 and the displacement of the above-below direction of food mounting table 5, make gear wheel 20 larger with the gear ratio of pinion 32, make compared with the anglec of rotation of pinion 32 and the anglec of rotation of gear wheel 20 enough greatly.But the stroke that slide unit 89 and food mounting table 5 can be actual mobile is limited, is therefore provided with slide mechanism, rotarilys actuate and while exceeding the necessary path increment of food mounting table 5, between pinion 32 and pitman arm 30, produce slip at pinion 32 making.Slide mechanism is also known as torque limiter (torque limiter).Although do not illustrate the concrete structure of slide mechanism, suitably Select and Apply known features.For example, also can form slide mechanism by sandwiched resilience disc spring between pinion 32 and pitman arm 30.

Under the state shown in Figure 12, slide unit 89 touches with the stop 36 on top, and slide unit 89 and food supporting table 5 are positioned at rising extreme position.In addition, as shown in figure 13, even if slide unit 89 touches with stop 36, gear wheel 20 is still to rotation clockwise, and pinion 32 is to counterclockwise rotariling actuate.But, because slide unit 89 arrives the mobile limit, so pitman arm 30 cannot rotate, absorb the unnecessary shift motion of driver part 89 by above-mentioned slide mechanism.

Left and right sides when pitman arm 30 is arranged on the food cutting device of observing the present embodiment from front, and drive food mounting table 5 from the left and right sides.In contrast, be only arranged on the left side of this device to linkage board 40, gear wheel 20, pinion 32 and the above-mentioned slide mechanism of pair of links arm 30 transmission of drive force.Pair of links arm 30 engages integratedly by common axle 31, thereby pair of links arm 30 drives as one.

Next, a series of actions of the above embodiment forming is like that described.Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 9 illustrate the original state before action starts.Actuating arm 65 is positioned to anticlockwise pole of rotation extreme position in Fig. 9, is the posture at utmost erecting.Thereby the arc sections 92 food mounting tables 5 that two

axles

53,54 are arranged in the upside terminal part of cam path 91 are the mounting posture of the food 10 before cutting.The pin 68 of actuating arm 65 touches with one end of the slotted hole 41 of linkage board 40, and gear wheel 20 is rotated to counter clockwise direction together with linkage board 40 in Fig. 9.By the rotation of this gear wheel 20, pinion 32 is rotated in Fig. 9 to clockwise direction, slide unit 89, receiving-member 82 are positioned at moving limit position downwards.

Under above-mentioned original state, when food 10 being loaded in food mounting table 5 and when operation start button, motor 61 starts, driving mechanism 6 is started working.The actuating arm 65 of driving mechanism 6 is via

gear row

61,62, axle 64 and as shown in Figure 10 to rotariling actuate clockwise, the axle 53 that is embedded in the food mounting table 5 in its slotted hole 66 moves along cam path 91.Axle 54 also moves along cam path 91 together with axle 53.The height and position of food mounting table 5 and posture are determined according to the difference of the height and position of two

axles

53,54 and mutual height and position.In the time that

axle

53,54 closes on the position of arc sections 93 of cam path 91, the height and position of axle 53 reduces continuously with respect to the height and position of axle 54, and therefore, food mounting table 5 is forward lean and forward lean strengthens gradually.

As mentioned above, food mounting table 5 starts to become the position of forward lean, is in food 10 starts to contact with cutter 3.At the beginning of food 10 starts to contact with cutter 3, cutter 3 are changed continuously with respect to the angle that enters of food 10, accelerate the relative velocity of cutter 3 and food 10.Figure 10 illustrates operating state now.By research, realize like this, at the beginning of cutting starts, easily make cutter 3 enter food 10, thereby successfully food 10 is cut.

In the time that the

axle

53,54 of food mounting table 5 arrives the line part 94 of cam path 91, food mounting table 5 oliquely downward moves along above-mentioned line part 94 under the state that keeps maximum inclination angle.During this period, food 10, together with food mounting table 5, vertically with the fixing cutter 3 of the fixing shape in two ends intersects and oliquely downward moves to fix relative velocity on one side on one side, and food 10 is cut into disc-shaped.Figure 11 to Figure 13 illustrates this operating state, and Figure 13 illustrates the state that cutting has just finished.In food mounting table 5, as mentioned above, be formed with the slot to avoid with respect to cutter 3.

Midway, food 10 is cut only about half of for the cutting action that Figure 11 is illustrated in food 10, the operating state that pin 68 and the gear wheel 20 of actuating arm 65 starts to touch.By being further rotated of actuating arm 65, pin 68 is pressed gear wheel 20 downwards, makes gear wheel 20 as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 like that to rotation clockwise.The revolving force of gear wheel 20 is passed to pinion 32, makes pinion 32 to counterclockwise rotation.The revolving force of pinion 32 is passed to pitman arm 30 via above-mentioned slide mechanism, makes pitman arm 30 to counterclockwise rotariling actuate.By the rotation of this pitman arm 30, slide unit 89 and receiving-member 82 are tilted guide member 81 and guide rail 90 guides and promotes obliquely upward.Figure 11 illustrates the state midway that receiving-member 82 rises obliquely upward, and Figure 12 illustrates that receiving-member 82 rises to the state of the extreme position touching with the stop 36 of upside.

The angle of inclination of the line part 94 of above-mentioned cam path 91 and the angle of inclination of guide rail 90 are equal angular, food mounting table 5 along above-mentioned line part 94 move up and down direction and receiving-member 82 along guide rail 90 to move up and down direction parallel.And, as shown in figure 12, rise to the receiving-member 82 of the extreme position of upside, be positioned at the moving direction front of the food 10 that is loaded to tilt to decline gradually in food mounting table 5 and together with food mounting table 5, be the posture that receives food 10.

Rise at receiving-member 82 after the extreme position of upside, actuating arm 65 is as shown in Figure 13 still to rotariling actuate clockwise, and actuating arm 65 declines axle 53.Axle 53 line part 94 along cam path 91 together with axle 54 declines, and food mounting table 5 keeps food 10 and oliquely downward moves under the state that keeps forward lean.Figure 12 illustrates the operating state before the cutting of the food 10 that food mounting table 5 keeps is near completion.Under this operating state, food mounting table 5 moves as described above, and the food 10 being kept by food mounting table 5 contacts with receiving-member 82.

In the case of the thickness of food 10 is thicker than diagram, food 10 with respect to be positioned at the rising limit receiving-member 82 time of contact in advance, receiving-member 82 is pressed by fallen food 10.By this pressing force, slide unit 65 and receiving-member 82 are pressed downwards, pitman arm 30 in Fig. 9 by clockwise direction forced back.By the slip of the above-mentioned slide mechanism between pitman arm 30 and pinion 32, allow this pitman arm 30 to rotation by force clockwise.

After cutter 3 finish the cutting of food 10, actuating arm 65 is still to rotariling actuate clockwise, arrive shown in Figure 13 to the clockwise rotation limit.During the operating state from shown in Figure 13 arrives the operating state shown in Figure 14, because slotted hole 66 and the chimeric food mounting table 5 that makes of axle 53 of actuating arm 65 continue oliquely downward to decline.Because food 10 also declines together with food mounting table 5, so when the cutting of food 10 is finished, receiving-member 82 is also pressed by food 10 and declined.In the time that above-mentioned actuating arm 65 rotates to clockwise direction, make gear wheel 20 to rotation clockwise by pin 68, make pinion 32 to counterclockwise rotation.But owing to being folded with above-mentioned slide mechanism between pinion 32 and pitman arm 30, so the revolving force of pinion 32 can not be passed to pitman arm 30, the pitman arm 30 that permission causes because the pressure of above-mentioned receiving-member 82 declines is to clockwise rotation.

Like this, in the time arriving the operating state that the cutting of food 10 is finished and extremely food 10 finished to the payment of receiving-member 82, the direction of rotation of above-mentioned motor 61 switches to rightabout.Figure 14 illustrates the state midway that motor 61 reverses and actuating arm 65 is returned to initial position to counterclockwise rotation.Along with the return action of actuating arm 65, because axle 53 and the chimeric food mounting table 65 that makes of the slotted hole 66 of actuating arm 65 of food mounting table 65 rise along cam path 91.At the return action to actuating arm 65 midway, be only the pin 68 that has of actuating arm 65 draws circular arc and moves in the width of slotted hole 41 of linkage board 40 and the scope of length, does not act on linkage board 40.Thus, gear wheel 20 does not rotate, and pitman arm 30, receiving-member 82 are also failure to actuate.

To counterclockwise rotation and food mounting table 5 is returned midway to initial position, in the time that the pin 68 of actuating arm 65 arrives one end of slotted hole 41 of linkage board 40, make gear wheel 20 to counterclockwise rotariling actuate via pin 68 and linkage board 40 at actuating arm 65.Make pinion 32 to rotariling actuate clockwise by the rotation of this gear wheel 20, and transfer a driving force to pitman arm 30 via above-mentioned slide mechanism, pitman arm 30 is to rotariling actuate clockwise.By the rotation of this pitman arm 30, receiving-member 82 is oliquely downward declined together with slide unit 89, slide unit 89 touches with stop 35, arrives the falling-threshold position of slide unit 89 and receiving-member 82.In the falling-threshold position of this receiving-member 82, the food 10 that the cutting that receiving-member 82 supports finishes is positioned at extraction portion 8, food 10 can be taken out.

Arrive behind falling-threshold position at receiving-member 82, actuating arm 65 is still to counterclockwise driving, and by making food mounting table 5 turn back to the initial position shown in Figure 15, the driving of motor 61 stops and a series of actions stops.From recover action midway to during returning to the initial position shown in Figure 15, make gear wheel 20 to counterclockwise rotariling actuate by pin 68, make pinion 32 to rotariling actuate clockwise, on pitman arm 30, effect has clockwise rotating torques.But pitman arm 30 is limited rotation by stop 35, pinion 32 and pitman arm 32 slide by above-mentioned slide mechanism, and receiving-member 82 is still positioned at extraction portion 8.

When the receiving-member 82 from being positioned at extraction portion 8 takes out the food 10 that cutting finishes, food is placed to food mounting table 5 mobile in the food supply portion on device top for 10 years and while again pressing starting switch, through above-mentioned a series of actions and cutting food products 10, the food 10 after cutting arrives extraction portion 8.

The food cutting device of embodiment described above is configured to, is not the food 10 after cutting is fallen because of its gravity, but with going reception before receiving-member 82, and make the receiving-member 82 that receives food 10 drop to extraction portion 8.Because the food 10 after cutting arrives extraction portion 8 with the state that keeps prescribed form, so can further improve the workability that the food after cutting takes out.In addition, because the posture of the food 10 that arrives extraction portion 8 is neatly unified, so seem also very beautiful.

In the above-described embodiments, making the drive source of food mounting table 5 and the drive source of the receiving-member 82 that receives the food 10 after cutting is common motor 61, thereby seeks cost.And, in order to seek commonization of drive source, be configured to, make the driving mechanism 6 of food mounting table 5 and the interlock of the driving mechanism of receiving-member 82, from the food cutting stroke that undertaken by the driving of food mounting table 5 midway, make receiving-member 82 rise to food and collect position.And, poor with the shift motion of the driving mechanism of receiving-member 82 for the driving mechanism 6 of absorbing food product mounting table 5, in the driving mechanism of receiving-member 82, be provided with slide mechanism.

Embodiment 2

Figure 16 illustrates other embodiment of the driving mechanism 6 of food mounting table 5 and the driving mechanism of receiving-member 82.This embodiment does not make the link gear of the driving mechanism interlock of the receiving-member 82 of the food 10 after driving mechanism 6 and the cutting of food mounting table 5, and the driving mechanism 6 of food mounting table 5 and the driving mechanism of receiving-member 82 have respectively drive source.In addition, in the embodiment shown in Figure 16, the structure division identical with the structure division of above-mentioned the 1st embodiment marked to identical Reference numeral, and omit the explanation of same structure part.

In Figure 16, with above-described embodiment similarly, the driving mechanism 6 of food mounting table 5 has: as the motor 61 of drive source,

gear

62,63, actuating arm 65, run through two

axles

53,54 of food mounting table 5 and be formed on the cam path 91 on side plate 4.The action of the rotation based on actuating arm 65 and the food mounting table 5 that produces and identical with the 1st embodiment to the cutting action of food 10 based on cutter 3.

The drive source of the driving mechanism driving as the receiving-member 82 of the food 10 to after cutting, has the motor 101 different from above-mentioned motor 61.On the output shaft of motor 101, be fixed with gear 102, gear 102 engages with gear 32.Gear 32 similarly take axle 31 as pivot, is also embedded with the pitman arm 30 take this axle 31 as pivot with above-described embodiment on axle 31.Between pitman arm 30 and gear 32, be similarly provided with slide mechanism with above-described embodiment.Pitman arm 30 similarly links by slide unit 89, slotted hole and pin with above-described embodiment, and slide unit 89 is combined integratedly with receiving-member 82 essence.

The rotating range of the pitman arm 30 take motor 101 as drive source is set for, can obtain than enough large sliding scales of the sliding scale of the slide unit 89 being limited by the stop 36 of the stop 35 of downside and upside.Even slide unit 89 and upper and

lower stop

36,35 butts, the rotary driving force that puts on pitman arm 30 still can discharge by above-mentioned slide mechanism.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 16, be positioned in the food mounting table 5 that is positioned at illustrated initial position and while pressing start button when sushi being rolled up to such food 10, motor 61 starts and food mounting table 5 changes posture while oliquely downward moves together with food 10.During this period, by cutter 3, food 10 is cut into many parts.From this cutting stroke midway, motor 101 starts, and makes pitman arm 30 to counterclockwise driving via

gear

102,32, and slide unit 89 moves to the position with stop 36 butts, and motor 101 stops.Also move obliquely upward with the receiving-member 82 of slide unit 89 one, be the posture of the food 10 of collecting after cutting.

In the moment finishing in the cutting of food 10, food 10 is delivered to receiving-member 82, correspondingly presses receiving-member 82 downwards with the size of food 10.By this pressing force, above-mentioned slide mechanism is slided, pitman arm 30, slide unit 89 and receiving-member 82 are pushed back.

When actuating arm 65 has rotarilyd actuate when food 10 is cut to needed angle, next the direction of rotation of motor 61 is switched to rightabout, food mounting table 10 returns to initial position.In addition, motor 101 also rotarilys actuate round about, and pitman arm 30 is to rotariling actuate clockwise until slide unit 89 and stop 35 butts, and the driving of motor 61 stops.Now, receiving-member 82 is positioned at the extraction portion 8 of food, can be efficiently will keep prescribed form and is bearing in the food 10 that the cutting on receiving-member 82 finishes and takes out.
