DD241392A1 - DEVICE FOR CUTTING FOODS, ESPECIALLY IN DISCS - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cutting food, in particular slices by means of a circular blade and an intermittent feed for the material to be cut. The aim is to achieve optimal cutting to achieve a high quality of the cut. The task is to guide the rotating circular blade to the material to be cut by means of a rational movement sequence. According to the invention, the object is achieved by arranging on a drive shaft a toothed wheel which engages with further toothed wheels and while a coupling is mounted eccentrically on a toothed wheel, there is a rocker connected to the coupling on the drive shaft, by means of which the cutting movement of the rotating circular knife is executed, which is arranged on the other gear.

Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to a device for cutting food, in particular in slices by means of a circular blade and an intermittent feed for cutting material for the production of chips or the like in meat processing plants as well as cold cuts.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

Such devices are known in which the material to be cut is guided on a carriage to a rotating circular blade. This functional principle is realized in the slicing machines. Devices are furthermore known in which the material to be cut is fixed and the cutting element is moved. In DE-05 2418640 a device is described in which a sickle blade rotating about a stationary pivot point separates the material to be cut. The intermittent feed of the material to be cut is achieved by a hydraulic device which is controlled cyclically by the rotating sickle blade.

It is also described in this document that a disk-shaped circular knife can also be arranged for the sickle knife. For this purpose, however, it is necessary that the material to be cut is placed on an additionally mounted carriage and then moved to the rotating circular blade. However, this operating principle is known as the so-called

Slicing machines identical. ;

The disadvantage of the invention when using the sickle blade is that by the knife shape itself; no exactly pulling cut is given. Also, especially in the production of cold cuts, no exact portioning accuracy and slice thickness is guaranteed. The sectional image of the material to be cut also shows quality defects (cutting effect).

Furthermore, a disc cutting device (US 3515190) is known, which has a horizontally arranged rotating circular blade, which performs a circular eccentric movement and thereby severed the vertically arranged cutting material and deposits the discs on a plate below the material to be cut.

The circular blade moves on its drive shaft upwards, according to the set disc thickness.

The disadvantage of this solution is the high design complexity and time losses caused by the design-related idle of the circular blade, since only about one third of the entire eccentric motion sequence of the circular blade is needed for cutting.

Object of the invention

The aim of the invention is to provide a device for cutting food, in which an optimal cut and high quality of the cut is achieved.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to develop a device for cutting food, in which a rotating circular blade is guided to the cutting material and the entire movement is designed optimally. According to the invention the object is achieved in that on a drive shaft, a gear is arranged, which is in engagement with other gears and eccentrically mounted on a gear coupling, is located on the drive shaft with a cutting movement of the rotating circular blade is executed, which is arranged on the other gear.

The parts of the device are arranged on a base plate which is flanged to the filling box. When using a disc with transverse knives, the coupling is removed and locked the rocker.

embodiment

The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. In the accompanying drawing shows

Fig. 1: Front view of the device with circular blade

 Fig. 2: top view of the device.

On a base plate 1, the gear 2 is mounted. The gear 2 is driven by the drive shaft 3 of the basic machine. The rotational movement is transmitted to the gears 4,5.

On the gear 4, a coupling 6 is mounted eccentrically, which moves the rocker 7 so that the attached to the rocker 7 circular blade 8 the cutting opening 9 releases or covered and so the cut is performed.

The circular blade 8 is connected to the gear 5, so that the rotational movement of the gear 2 is transmitted.

When the opening 9, the piston 10 pushes the material to be cut according to the feed setting. When cutting the feed is turned off, so that an exact cut can be made.

Fig. 3: Front view of the device with disc including transverse knife.

The structure corresponds to FIG. 1. The coupling 6 is removed. The rocker 7 is locked. The disc 11 with a cross blade covers the cutting opening 9 in this position. While the piston 10 continuously conveys the material to be cut, the disc 11, driven by gear 2, cuts over the gear 5

 By disc 11 with different cross-cutting gap 13, the slice thickness can be varied.
