Abstract

To cut sausage or sausage-like meat products into slices, an axial pressure and a radial pressure are exerted synchronously on the product (10). In the state thus stabilised, slice after slice is cut off from the product (10) with the aid of a rotating cutter (1) without a notable deformation of the product (10) being able to occur due to the surface pressure of the cutting edge (4) of the cutter (1), which would impair the dimensional accuracy of the resulting slices.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Schneiden von Wurst oder wurstförmigen Fleischwaren in Scheiben, wobei das zu schneidende Gutsstück durch einen darauf ausgeübten Axialdruck in Längsrichtung verschoben wird. Das Gutsstück kreuzt die Schnittebene eines rotierenden Messers, mit dem pro Messerumdrehung eine der Anzahl der Schneiden entsprechende Anzahl Scheiben vom Gutsstück abgetrennt wird.The invention relates to a method for cutting sausage or sausage-shaped meat products into slices, the piece of material to be cut being displaced in the longitudinal direction by an axial pressure exerted thereon. The good piece crosses the cutting plane of a rotating knife, with which a number of disks corresponding to the number of cutting edges is separated from the good piece per knife revolution.

Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens eine Schneidvorrichtung mit einem rotierenden Messer und einer parallel zur Rotationsachse des Messers ausgerichteten Führungsrinne, durch die eine mit ihrer Ebene senkrecht zur Rinnenlängsachse ausgerichtete Vorschubplatte verschiebbar gelagert ist.Furthermore, for carrying out the method, the invention relates to a cutting device with a rotating knife and a guide groove aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the knife, through which a feed plate aligned with its plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the groove is slidably mounted.

Beim Schneiden von elastischen Würsten und ähnlich nachgiebigen Fleischwaren ist es allgemein bekannt, ein rotierendes Messer mit einer spiralförmig verlaufenden Schneide zu verwenden.When slicing elastic sausages and similarly compliant meat products, it is generally known to use a rotating knife with a spiral-shaped cutting edge.

Der Spiralverlauf der Schneide wird vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Schneide zu Beginn des Eindringens des Messers in das Gutsstück wie auch beim Durchtrennen des Restquerschnitts ein Minimum erreicht, um die spezifische Flächenpressung zwischen der Schneide und dem Gutsstück in diesen kritischen Bereichen so gering wie möglich zu halten. Infolge der vorgenannten Flächenpressung wird nämlich das Gutsstück beim Schneiden mehr oder weniger verformt. Die im verformten Zustand vom Gutsstück abgetrennten Scheiben sind entsprechend dem Verformungsgrad über die Scheibenfläche ungleichmäßig dick. Eine ausreichende Reduzierung der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit beim Eindringen des Messers in das Gutsstück und beim Durchtrennen des Restquerschnitts gegenüber der erwünschten hohen Vorschubgeschwindigkeit zwischen diesen Abschnitten erfordert verhältnismäßig groß dimensionierte Messer, um ausgeprägte Radienunterschiede im spiralförmigen Verlauf der Schneidkante zu ermöglichen, und schließt es praktisch aus, das Messer mit mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden Schneidkanten zu versehen, um pro Messerumdrehung eine der Anzahl der Schneiden entsprechend große Anzahl Scheiben vom Gutsstück abtrennen zu können.The spiral course of the cutting edge is preferably selected so that the advancing speed of the cutting edge at the beginning of the penetration of the knife into the good piece as well as when cutting through the remaining cross section reaches a minimum in order to achieve the specific surface pressure between the cutting edge and the good in these critical areas to be kept as low as possible. As a result of the aforementioned surface pressure, the good piece is deformed more or less during cutting. The disks separated from the good in the deformed state are unevenly thick over the disk surface in accordance with the degree of deformation. A sufficient reduction in the feed rate when the knife penetrates the product and when the remaining cross-section is cut compared to the desired high feed rate between these sections requires relatively large-sized knives in order to enable pronounced differences in radius in the spiral course of the cutting edge, and practically excludes the knife to be provided with several successive cutting edges in order to be able to separate a large number of slices from the good piece per knife revolution corresponding to the number of cutting edges.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zu einem Schneidverfahren zu gelangen, mit dem sich Wurst oder wurstförmige Fleischwaren bei hoher Schneidleistung weitgehend unabhängig von der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Schneidkante eines Messers in geometrisch genaue Scheiben mit insbesondere über die Schnittfläche gleichmäßiger Dicke schneiden lassen.The invention has for its object to arrive at a cutting method with which sausage or sausage-shaped meat products can be cut with high cutting performance largely independently of the feed speed of the cutting edge of a knife into geometrically accurate slices, in particular with a uniform thickness over the cutting surface.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird von einem im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten gattungsgemäßen Verfahren ausgegangen und erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, nach den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen zu verfahren.To solve this problem is of a generic type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 Process started and proposed according to the invention to proceed according to the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anwendung aufeinander abgestimmter, axial und radial ausgerichteter Druckkräfte verleiht dem an sich nachgiebigen Gutsstück zumindest innerhalb des von der Flächenpressung eines Messers betroffenen Bereichs eine dreidimensionale Formstabilität, so daß ein Ausweichen des Gutsstücks, insbesondere auch unmittelbar vor dem Eintritt der Schneide in das Gutsstück, verhinderbar ist. Wird das Gutsstück durch den für seinen Vorschub erforderlichen Axialdruck gestaucht, vergrößert sich der Gutsstückdurchmesser, wodurch vom Gutsstück aus eine radial nach außen gerichtete Druckkraft ausgeübt wird. Dieser Kraft läßt sich eine radialnach innen gerichtete, rings um das Gutsstück wirksame Druckkraft als Reaktionskraft entgegensetzen, so daß ein Ausweichen auch von Gutsstückteilbereichen über einen vorgebbaren Rahmen hinaus ausgeschlossen ist. Der vorgegebene Rahmen wird im wesentlichen durch die Durchmesservergrößerung des Gutsstücks infolge seiner Stauchung bestimmt, die zu einem proportionalen Anstieg des Radialdrucks führt. Hat der Radialdruck ein bestimmtes Maximum erreicht, so ergibt sich aus dem Axialdruck keine weitere Stauchungskomponente. Der Axialdruck dient sodann ausschließlich dazu, die Reibungskräfte des durch die Stauchung verdichteten Gutsstücks zu überwinden und das Gutsstück in Vorschubrichtung zu verlagern.The use of coordinated, axially and radially aligned compressive forces according to the invention gives the inherently resilient good piece a three-dimensional shape stability at least within the area affected by the surface pressure of a knife, so that a deflection of the good piece, in particular also immediately before the cutting edge enters the good piece, is preventable. If the good piece is compressed by the axial pressure required for its advance, the good piece diameter increases, whereby a radially outward pressure force is exerted from the good piece. This force can be opposed by a radially inward pressure force acting all around the piece of property as a reaction force, so that a deflection of areas of the piece of good beyond a predeterminable frame is also excluded. The predefined frame is essentially determined by the increase in diameter of the item due to its compression, which leads to a proportional increase in the radial pressure. If the radial pressure has reached a certain maximum, no further compression component results from the axial pressure. The axial pressure then only serves to overcome the frictional forces of the good piece compressed by the compression and to shift the good piece in the feed direction.

Mit einer Schneidvorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art läßt sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in einfacher Weise durchführen, indem am dem rotierenden Messer zugewandten Endbereich der Führungsrinne mindestens eine ein Gutsstück umschließende, elastische Manschette angeordnet ist.With a cutting device of the type described at the outset, the method according to the invention can be carried out in a simple manner by arranging at least one elastic sleeve enclosing a good item on the end region of the guide trough facing the rotating knife.

Es versteht sich, daß der freie Ausgangsquerschnitt der Manschette und ihre Elastizität so aufeinander abzustimmen sind, daß einerseits die Manschette das Gutsstück im noch ungestauchten Zustand mit einer Kraft umschließt, die ausreichend groß ist, der Vorschubbewegung des Gutsstücks einen Reibungswiderstand entgegenzusetzen, sobald von der Vorschubplatte auf das Gutsstück ein den Stauchvorgang einleitender Axialdruck ausgeübt wird, und andererseits die Manschette das Gutsstück im gestauchten Zustand mit einer Kraft umschließt, welche die Vorschubbewegung des Gutsstücks aufgrund der von der Vorschubplatte auf das Gutsstück ausgeübten Axialkraft noch ermöglicht.It goes without saying that the free initial cross-section of the sleeve and its elasticity must be coordinated with one another such that, on the one hand, the sleeve encloses the good piece in the still un-compressed state with a force which is sufficiently large to provide frictional resistance to the feed movement of the good piece as soon as from the feed plate an axial pressure initiating the upsetting process is exerted on the good piece, and on the other hand the sleeve encloses the good piece in the compressed state with a force which still enables the feed movement of the good piece due to the axial force exerted on the good piece by the feed plate.

Eine Manschette, welche den vorstehenden Anforderungen genügt und sich in verhältnismäßig weiten Grenzen unterschiedlichen Gutsstücksquerschnitten anpassen läßt, ist gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Art einer Rohrschelle ausgebildet, wobei zwei radial nach außen vorstehende Schellenendstücke durch einen mittels einer Druckfeder auf Zug beanspruchten Schraubenbolzen elastisch verbunden sind, wobei in Abhängigkeit von der Eindringtiefe des Schraubenbolzens in ein an einem Schellenendstück vorgesehenes Gewinde die Spannkraft der Feder einstellbar ist.A cuff that meets the above requirements and can be adapted within relatively wide limits to different cross-sections of good pieces is designed according to an embodiment of the invention in the manner of a pipe clamp, two radially outwardly projecting clamp end pieces being elastically connected by a screw bolt that is subjected to tension by means of a compression spring , depending on the depth of penetration of the Bolt in a thread provided on a clamp end piece, the clamping force of the spring is adjustable.

Die Manschette kann aber gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch aus einer einen Innen- und einen Außenmantel aufweisenden Muffe bestehen, wobei zwischen dem Innen- und Außenmantel ein unter Überdruck setzbarer zylindrischer Hohlraum vorgesehen ist und wobei mindestens der Innenmantel aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt ist.According to another embodiment of the invention, however, the sleeve can also consist of a sleeve having an inner and an outer jacket, a cylindrical cavity which can be placed under positive pressure being provided between the inner and outer jacket and at least the inner jacket being made of an elastic material.

Beide Manschettenausbildungen sind dem jeweils zu schneidenden Gutsstück individuell anpaßbar und können hinsichtlich des von ihnen auf das Gutsstück auszuübenden Radialdrucks in einfacher Weise eingestellt werden, indem die Vorspannung der Druckfeder bei der nach Art einer Rohrschelle ausgebildeten Manschette bzw. der Überdruck im zylindrischen Hohlraum der aus einer doppelwandigen Muffe gebildeten Manschette verändert wird.Both cuff designs are individually adaptable to the piece of goods to be cut and can be adjusted in a simple manner with regard to the radial pressure to be exerted on the piece of goods by the pretension of the compression spring in the case of a sleeve-type sleeve or the excess pressure in the cylindrical cavity from a double-walled sleeve formed cuff is changed.

Schließlich sieht eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung noch vor, daß die Führungsrinne einen winkel- oder U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist und mit mehreren neben- und/oder übereinander angeordneten Manschetten ausgestattet ist.Finally, an embodiment of the invention provides that the guide trough has an angular or U-shaped cross section and is equipped with a plurality of collars arranged next to and / or one above the other.

In Abhängigkeit von der Anzahl der einer Führungsrinne zugeordneten Manschetten ist eine entsprechend große Anzahl Gutsstücke von der Vorrichtung aufnehmbar, so daß sich die Schneidleistung gegenüber konventionellen Schneidvorrichtungen mit Einzelbeschickung erheblich steigern läßt.Depending on the number of sleeves assigned to a guide trough, a correspondingly large number of pieces of good can be picked up by the device, so that the cutting performance can be increased considerably compared to conventional cutting devices with single loading.

Da es keiner besonderen Rücksichtnahme auf den Schneidkantenverlauf des Messers bedarf, kann auch ein mehrflügeliges Messer zum Einsatz kommen, so daß pro Messerumdrehung eine Anzahl Scheiben abgeschnitten werden kann, die dem Produkt aus der Anzahl der einer Führungsrinne zugeordneten Manschetten und der Anzahl der Flügel des Messers entspricht.Since no special consideration is required of the cutting edge course of the knife, a multi-bladed knife can also be used, so that a number of disks can be cut off per knife revolution, which is the product of the number of sleeves assigned to a guide trough and the number of blades of the knife corresponds.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens perspektivisch dargestellt:In the drawing, an embodiment of a device for performing the method according to the invention is shown in perspective:

Die Vorrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einem lediglich abgebrochen dargestellten scheibenförmigen Messer 1, das um eine Achse 2 in Richtung eines Pfeiles 3 rotierbar gelagert ist, wobei eine Schneidkante 4 über eine Schneidebene 5 agiert. Des weiteren besteht die Vorrichtung aus einer Führungsrinne 6, die mit ihrer Längsachse parallel zur Achse 2 ausgerichtet ist.The device essentially consists of a disc-shaped knife 1, shown only broken off, which is rotatably mounted about an axis 2 in the direction of an arrow 3, a cutting edge 4 acting over a cutting plane 5. Furthermore, the device consists of a guide trough 6, which is aligned with its longitudinal axis parallel to the axis 2.

In der Führungsrinne 6 ist entlang ihrer Längsachse eine Vorschubplatte 7 durch einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb verfahrbar und bewegt sich während der Schneidoperation in Richtung eines Pfeils 8 auf die Schnittebene 5 zu. Mit der Vorschubplatte 7, die mit zum Boden der Führungsrinne 6 weisenden Hakenspitzen 9 bestückt ist, wird auf jeweils eine der Schnittebene 5 abgewandte Stirnseite von zwei Würsten 10 ein Axialdruck ausgeübt. Mit ihrer der Schnittebene 5 zugewandten Stirnseite werden die Würste 10 durch Manschetten 11 geführt, die nach Art von Rohrschellen ausgebildet sind.In the guide trough 6, a feed plate 7 can be moved along its longitudinal axis by a drive, not shown, and moves during the cutting operation in the direction of an arrow 8 towards the cutting plane 5. With the feed plate 7, the hook tips 9 pointing towards the bottom of the guide trough 6 is loaded, an axial pressure is exerted on one end face facing away from the cutting plane 5 by two sausages 10. With their front side facing the sectional plane 5, the sausages 10 are guided through sleeves 11 which are designed in the manner of pipe clamps.

Die Manschetten 11 sind auf dem Boden der Führungsrinne 6 befestigt und so angeordnet, daß ihre der Vorschubplatte 7 abgewandten Stirnseiten mit der Schnittebene 5 fluchten. Radial nach außen abgewinkelte Schellenendstücke 12, 13 werden durch den Druck einer Feder 14 in variablem Abstand gehalten, da sich die Feder 14 einerseits gegen das Schellenendstück 12 und andererseits gegen den Kopf 15 eines Schraubenbolzens 16 abstützt, der sich in ein nicht dargestelltes Gewinde am anderen Schellenendstück 13 mehr oder weniger eindrehen läßt.The sleeves 11 are fastened to the bottom of the guide trough 6 and arranged in such a way that their end faces facing away from the feed plate 7 are aligned with the cutting plane 5. Radially outwardly angled clamp end pieces 12, 13 are held at a variable distance by the pressure of a spring 14, since the spring 14 is supported on the one hand against the clamp end piece 12 and on the other hand against the head 15 of a screw bolt 16, which is in a thread, not shown, on the other Screw in clamp end piece 13 more or less.

Werden die Würste 10 durch den Druck der Vorschubplatte 7 in den Bereich der Schellen 11 gedrückt, weiten sich diese zwar auf, setzen aber dem weiteren Vorschub einen bestimmten Reibungswiderstand entgegen. Dabei werden die Würste 10 gestaucht, wodurch sich der von den Schellen auf die Würste ausgeübte Radialdruck erhöht. Die Antriebskraft der Vorschubplatte 7 ist so bemessen, daß der Vorschub fortgesetzt wird und die Würste 10 mit einer optimalen, radial zum Innern der Würste 10 gerichteten Vorspannung kontinuierlich die Schnittebene 5 durchdringen und dabei in geometrische Scheiben geschnitten werden.If the sausages 10 are pressed into the area of the clamps 11 by the pressure of the feed plate 7, they expand, but counter the further feed with a certain frictional resistance. The sausages 10 are compressed, which increases the radial pressure exerted by the clamps on the sausages. The driving force of the feed plate 7 is dimensioned such that the feed is continued and the sausages 10 continuously penetrate the cutting plane 5 with an optimal prestress directed radially to the inside of the sausages 10 and are thereby cut into geometric disks.
