Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorschubeinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Eine derartige Vorschubeinrichtung ist in der Ausführung bekannt geworden (DE 32 49 925 C2), daß zum Schneiden von Lebensmittelprodukten, insbesondere Wurst und Käse, ein derartiges Produkt auf eine Rollenbahn aufgelegt wird, wobei die Rollenbahn schräg abwärts in Richtung auf ein Kreismesser geneigt ist, welches Kreismesser mit einem ortsfesten Gegenmesser zusammenwirkt.The present invention relates to a feed device according to the preamble of patent claim 1. Such a feed device has become known in its design (DE 32 49 925 C2) that for cutting food products, in particular sausage and cheese, such a product is placed on a roller conveyor, wherein the roller conveyor is inclined obliquely downwards in the direction of a circular knife which cooperates with a stationary counter knife.

Am rückwärtigen Ende greift in das Produkt eine sogenannte Kralle ein, die aus einem intermittierend angetriebenen Gehäuseblock besteht, an dessen vorderem Ende Greifer angeordnet sind, die mechanisch betätigbar in die rückwärtige Stirnseite des Produkts eingreifen und dieses halten. Der Greifer wird hierbei von einem Antrieb in Längsrichtung des Produktes gesehen intermittierend oder kontinuierlich angetrieben, so daß mit jedem Vorschub der Kralle das Produkt um einen bestimmten Weg auf der Rollenbahn gegen das Kreismesser verschoben wird und hierdurch dann eine Scheibe genau definierter Dicke vom Produkt abgeschnitten wird.At the rear end, a so-called claw engages in the product, which consists of an intermittently driven housing block, at the front end of which grippers are arranged which engage mechanically in the rear end of the product and hold it. The gripper is driven intermittently or continuously by a drive in the longitudinal direction of the product, so that with each advance of the claw the product is shifted a certain distance on the roller conveyor against the circular knife, thereby cutting a disc of precisely defined thickness from the product .

Mit derartigen Schneidemaschinen werden Produktgrößen bis zu einer Länge von 1,20 m verarbeitet. Bei der Verarbeitung derartig langer Produkte, insbesondere auch wenn diese Produkte eine relativ weiche Konsistenz haben, besteht der Nachteil, daß bei dem intermittierenden Antrieb des Produkts auf der Rollenbahn in Richtung auf das Kreismesser das Produkt zum Schwingen neigt, wobei dann die Scheibenstärken ungleichmässig werden.With such cutting machines, product sizes up to a length of 1.20 m are processed. When processing such long products, especially if these products have a relatively soft consistency, there is the disadvantage that when the product is driven intermittently on the roller conveyor in the direction of the circular knife, the product tends to oscillate, the slice thicknesses then becoming uneven.

Es kommt also zu unerwünschten Schwingungen im Produkt aufgrund des intermittierenden Vorschubantriebs dieses Produkts gegen das Kreismesser, wodurch es dann zu den erwähnten ungleichmässigen Scheiben kommt.So there are undesirable vibrations in the product due to the intermittent feed drive of this product against the circular knife, which then leads to the aforementioned uneven discs.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Vorschubantrieb einer Schneidemaschine der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß auch bei langen und relativ weichen Produkten Scheiben mit genau gleichbleibender Dicke geschnitten werden können.The present invention is therefore based on the object of developing the feed drive of a cutting machine of the type mentioned at the outset such that slices of exactly the same thickness can be cut even with long and relatively soft products.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß gekoppelt mit dem Antrieb der Kralle am vorderen Ende des Produkts in der Nähe des Kreismessers ein weiterer kraft- und formschlüssiger Antrieb für das Produkt vorgesehen ist, welcher aus mindestens einer Vorschubwalze besteht, die kraft- und formschlüssig an der Unterseite des Produkts angreift und welche in Abhängigkeit von dem Vorschubweg der Kralle drehend angetrieben wird.To achieve the object, the invention is characterized in that, coupled with the drive of the claw at the front end of the product in the vicinity of the circular knife, a further non-positive and positive drive for the product is provided, which consists of at least one feed roller, the force - And engages positively on the underside of the product and which is rotated depending on the feed path of the claw.

Wesentliches Merkmal der vorliegenden Erfindung ist also, daß zwangsgekoppelt mit dem Antrieb der Kralle, die ja nur am hinteren Teil des Produkts ansetzt, nun auch am vorderen, nächst dem Kreismesser angeordneten Ende des Produkts ein weiterer Antrieb für das Produkt in Vorschubrichtung vorgesehen ist, wobei dieser Antrieb mit dem Antrieb der Kralle formschlüssig gekoppelt ist. Die Vorschubwalze kann hierbei am Ende der Rollenbahn kurz vor dem Kreismesser angeordnet sein, sie kann aber auch in der Rollenbahn angeordnet sein und durch die Rollen der Rollenbahn hindurch greifen.An essential feature of the present invention is thus that a further drive for the product in the feed direction is provided, forcibly coupled with the drive of the claw, which only attaches to the rear part of the product, now also at the front end of the product arranged next to the circular knife this drive is positively coupled to the drive of the claw. The feed roller can be arranged at the end of the roller conveyor just before the circular knife, but it can also be arranged in the roller conveyor and reach through the rollers of the roller conveyor.

Der kraft- und formschlüssige Antrieb in der Nähe des Kreismessers, der an der Unterseite des Produkts angreift, ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform als Vorschubwalze ausgebildet, die vorzugsweise an ihrem Außenumfang noch eine Zahnung aufweist, welche an der Unterseite in das Produkt eingreift.The non-positive and positive drive in the vicinity of the circular knife, which acts on the underside of the product, is designed in a preferred embodiment as a feed roller, which preferably on her External circumference still has a toothing which engages in the product on the underside.

Die Zahnung ist so gewählt, daß entsprechende Zahnmarken mit den später abgeschnittenen Scheiben korrespondieren, so daß man derartige Zahnmarken dann später beim abgeschnittenen Produkt nicht mehr sieht.The toothing is chosen so that corresponding tooth marks correspond to the slices cut off later, so that such tooth marks can no longer be seen later in the cut product.

Eine Kopplung des Antriebs der Vorschubwalze mit dem Antrieb für die Kralle ist in einer bevorzugten Ausbildung der Erfindung dadurch verwirklicht, daß die Vorschubwalze drehfest mit einem Antriebsrad verbunden ist, über welches Antriebsrad ein Zahnriemen läuft, der als geschlossenes Trum über eine Umlenkrolle geführt ist. Dieser Zahnriemen ist nun mit der Kralle unmittelbar über eine Klemmung gekoppelt, so daß bei einem entsprechenden Antrieb der Kralle der Zahnriemen mitgenommen wird und über das Antriebsrad die Vorschubwalze drehend in Vorschubrichtung antreibt.A coupling of the drive of the feed roller with the drive for the claw is realized in a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the feed roller is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive wheel, via which drive wheel a toothed belt runs, which is guided as a closed run over a deflection roller. This toothed belt is now coupled to the claw directly by means of a clamp, so that when the claw is driven appropriately, the toothed belt is taken along and drives the feed roller to rotate in the feed direction via the drive wheel.

Vorteil dieser Ausführung ist, daß man auf einen eigenen Antriebsmotor für die Vorschubwalze verzichten kann und einen absolut synchronen Antrieb zwischen der Kralle und der Vorschubwalze erhält.The advantage of this design is that you can do without your own drive motor for the feed roller and get an absolutely synchronous drive between the claw and the feed roller.

In einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es jedoch auch vorgesehen, daß der Vorschubwalze ein eigener Antrieb zugeordnet ist, der mit dem Antrieb der Kralle entsprechend synchronisiert ist.In a development of the present invention, however, it is also provided that the feed roller is assigned its own drive, which is synchronized with the drive of the claw accordingly.

Mit der gegebenen technischen Lehre wird der wesentliche Vorteil erzielt, daß das Produkt nun praktisch an zwei Enden angetrieben wird, nämlich an seinem rückwärtigen Ende und an seinem nächst dem Kreismesser liegenden Ende. Das Produkt wird somit zwischen diesen beiden Antrieben, die absolut synchron laufen, stabilisiert und neigt deshalb nicht mehr zum Schwingen, auch wenn Produkte relativ weicher Konsistenz verwendet werden. Damit ist es nun erstmals möglich, auch bei sehr großen Produktlängen und sehr weichen Produkten einen absolut gleichmässigen Schnitt zu erreichen, so daß auch bei derartigen schwierig zu bearbeitenden Produkten eine gleichmässige Scheibenstärke beim Abschneiden mit dem Kreismesser erreicht wird.With the given technical teaching the main advantage is achieved that the product is now practically driven at two ends, namely at its rear end and at its end closest to the circular knife. The product is thus stabilized between these two drives, which run absolutely synchronously, and therefore no longer tends to oscillate, even if products use a relatively soft consistency will. It is now possible for the first time to achieve an absolutely uniform cut even with very large product lengths and very soft products, so that even with such difficult-to-process products, a uniform slice thickness is achieved when cutting with the circular knife.

Hinsichtlich der Funktion des Vorschubantriebs, des Aussehens der Kralle und weiterer Einzelheiten wird auf das ältere Patent DE 32 49 925 C2 des gleichen Anmelders verwiesen. Die dortige Offenbarung soll vollinhaltlich von der vorliegenden Offenbarung umfasst sein.With regard to the function of the feed drive, the appearance of the claw and further details, reference is made to the older patent DE 32 49 925 C2 by the same applicant. The disclosure there is intended to be fully encompassed by the present disclosure.

Das zu schneidende Produkt 1 liegt auf einer Rollenbahn 2 auf, die beispielsweise im Winkel von 45° nach unten zur Horizontalen geneigt ist, wobei die Rollenbahn aus einzelnen Rollen 18 bestehen, die parallel zueinander in gegenseitigem Abstand drehbar angeordnet sind. Das Produkt 1 wird mit seinem vorderen Stirnende gegen ein Kreismesser 4 geführt, welches über eine Antriebswelle 8 mit einem Exzenter 7 verbunden ist, der dem Kreismesser 4 eine exzentrische Schnittbewegung zuordnet.The product 1 to be cut rests on a roller conveyor 2 which is inclined at an angle of 45 ° down to the horizontal, for example is, wherein the roller conveyor consist of individual rollers 18 which are rotatably arranged parallel to each other at a mutual distance. The front end of the product 1 is guided against a circular knife 4, which is connected via a drive shaft 8 to an eccentric 7, which assigns the circular knife 4 an eccentric cutting movement.

Gehäusefest ist dem Kreismesser 4 ein Gegenmesser 5 zugeordnet, welches auf einem ebenfalls gehäusefesten Messerbalken 6 gelagert ist.Fixed to the housing, the circular knife 4 is assigned a counter knife 5, which is mounted on a knife bar 6 which is also fixed to the housing.

Das Produkt kann ggf. an seiner Oberseite durch einen Niederhalter 10 gegen das Gegenmesser 5 gepresst werden, wobei die hierzu erforderliche Preßkraft durch einen Pneumatikzylinder 9 aufgebracht wird.If necessary, the top of the product can be pressed against the counter knife 5 by a holding-down device 10, the pressing force required for this being applied by a pneumatic cylinder 9.

Der Vorschubantrieb des Produkts 1 wird durch eine sogenannte "Kralle 11" bewerkstelligt, welche Kralle im wesentlichen als Antriebsgehäuse ausgebildet ist, in dessen Innenraum auf jeweils parallel zueinander und übereinanderliegenden Wellen 13 Greifer 12 angeordnet sind. Jede Welle 13 trägt entsprechend der Figur 1 eine Reihe von einen gegenseitigen Abstand zueinander einnehmenden und parallel zueinander angeordneten Greifern 12, wobei die beiden Wellen über entsprechende Zahnräder miteinander in Eingriff sind und ihrerseits von einem Zahnrad 17 in den Pfeilrichtungen 14 drehangetrieben sind.The feed drive of the product 1 is accomplished by a so-called "claw 11", which claw is essentially designed as a drive housing, in the interior of which grippers 12 are arranged on shafts 13 that are parallel to one another and one above the other. According to FIG. 1, each shaft 13 carries a series of grippers 12 which take up a mutual distance from one another and are arranged parallel to one another, the two shafts engaging with one another via corresponding gear wheels and in turn being driven in rotation by a gear wheel 17 in the arrow directions 14.

Der Antrieb des Zahnrades 17 erfolgt hierbei über eine Schubstange 16, die von einem Pneumatikzylinder 15 beaufschlagt wird.The gear 17 is driven via a push rod 16 which is acted upon by a pneumatic cylinder 15.

Mit der Betätigung des Pneumatikzylinders 15 wird somit die Schubstange 16 verschoben; damit wird das Zahnrad 17 verdreht, und nachdem das Zahnrad 17 mit mindestens einem Zahnrad einer Welle 13 kämmt, werden die Wellen 14 in einer der eingezeichneten Pfeilrichtungen 14 verdreht, wodurch die Greifer 12 in die rückwärtige Stirnseite des Produkts 1 eingreifen und das Produkt derart festhalten.With the actuation of the pneumatic cylinder 15, the push rod 16 is thus shifted; thus the gear 17 is rotated, and after the gear 17 meshes with at least one gear of a shaft 13, the shafts 14 are rotated in one of the arrow directions 14 shown, whereby the grippers 12 engage in the rear end face of the product 1 and hold the product in this way .

Der Vorschubantrieb der Kralle 11 erfolgt dadurch, daß die gesamte Kralle 11 auf einer Krallenschiene 21 gelagert ist, die ihrerseits in einem Lagergehäuse 22 befestigt ist. Im Lagergehäuse 22 sind Linearlager 23 angeordnet, so daß das Lagergehäuse 22 über diese Linearlager 23 auf einer Prismenschiene 24 in Vorschubrichtung (Pfeilrichtung 3) und ggf. in Gegenrichtung hierzu bewegbar ist.The feed drive of the claw 11 takes place in that the entire claw 11 is mounted on a claw rail 21, which in turn is fastened in a bearing housing 22. Linear bearings 23 are arranged in the bearing housing 22, so that the bearing housing 22 can be moved via this linear bearing 23 on a prism rail 24 in the feed direction (arrow direction 3) and possibly in the opposite direction to this.

Zur leichten Auswechselbarkeit der Kralle 11 auf der Krallenschiene 21 ist es vorgesehen, daß gemäss Figur 1 an der Unterseite der Kralle 11 eine Ausnehmung 37 angeordnet ist, in welche die Krallenschiene 21 eingeschoben und in nicht näher dargestellter Weise festgeklemmt ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Kralle 11 leicht von der Krallenschiene 21 abgezogen werden.For easy interchangeability of the claw 11 on the claw rail 21, it is provided that, according to FIG. 1, a recess 37 is arranged on the underside of the claw 11, into which the claw rail 21 is inserted and clamped in a manner not shown. In this way, the claw 11 can be easily pulled off the claw rail 21.

Damit besteht der Vorteil, daß die Kralle 11 leicht ausgewechselt und gereinigt werden kann.This has the advantage that the claw 11 can be easily replaced and cleaned.

In Figur 1 ist lediglich angedeutet, während in Figur 2 die entsprechende zeichnerische Darstellung fehlt, daß der Vorschub des Lagergehäuses 22, an dem die Krallenschiene 21 befestigt ist, über eine Kugelspindel 19 erfolgt, wobei die Kugelspindel eine nicht näher dargestellte Spindelmutter im Lagergehäuse 22 durchgreift und von einem Drehantrieb intermittierend in Pfeilrichtung 20 angetrieben ist.In Figure 1 is only hinted at, while in Figure 2 there is no corresponding graphic representation that the advance of the bearing housing 22, to which the claw rail 21 is fastened, takes place via a ball screw 19, the ball screw engaging through a spindle nut (not shown) in the bearing housing 22 and is intermittently driven by a rotary drive in the direction of arrow 20.

Mit Hilfe dieses Antriebs wird also die Kralle 11 in Vorschubrichtung 3 intermittierend derart angetrieben, daß ein genau definierter Vorschub in Richtung auf das Kreismesser 4 stattfindet und das Kreismesser eine genau definierte Scheibe von dem Produkt 1 abschneidet.With the help of this drive, the claw 11 is driven intermittently in the feed direction 3 such that a precisely defined feed takes place in the direction of the circular knife 4 and the circular knife cuts off a precisely defined disk from the product 1.

Erfindungsgemäss ist nun vorgesehen, daß auch am vorderen Ende in der Nähe des Kreismessers 4 das Produkt 1 von einer zusätzlichen Vorschubeinrichtung angetrieben wird. Nach dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Vorschubeinrichtung aus einer Vorschubwalze 33, die an ihrem Außenumfang eine Zahnung 35 aufweist. Diese Zahnung 35 gräbt sich mindestens teilweise in die Unterseite des Produkts 1 ein.According to the invention it is now provided that the product 1 of an additional at the front end in the vicinity of the circular knife 4 Feed device is driven. According to the preferred embodiment, the feed device consists of a feed roller 33, which has teeth 35 on its outer circumference. This toothing 35 digs at least partially into the underside of the product 1.

Die Vorschubwalze 33 ist drehbar auf einer Achse 32 gelagert, wobei das Antriebsrad 29 mit der Vorschubwalze 33 gekuppelt ist. Das Antriebsrad 29 wird von einem endlosen Zahnriemen 25 umschlungen, welcher an seiner anderen Seite über eine hintere Umlenkrolle 27 läuft. Die Umlenkrolle ist hierbei in einem gehäusefesten Halter 28 drehbar gelagert.The feed roller 33 is rotatably mounted on an axis 32, the drive wheel 29 being coupled to the feed roller 33. The drive wheel 29 is wrapped in an endless toothed belt 25 which runs on its other side via a rear deflection roller 27. The deflection roller is in this case rotatably mounted in a holder 28 fixed to the housing.

Erfindungsgemäss ist nun die Krallenschiene 21 über eine Klemmung 26 mit dem oberen oder unteren Trum des Zahnriemens 25 verklemmt und damit kraftschlüssig gekoppelt. Somit wird bei einem entsprechenden Antrieb des Lagergehäuses 22 in Vorschubrichtung 3 über die Kopplung der Krallenschiene 21 mit dem Zahnriemen 25 auch das Antriebszahnrad 29 angetrieben, welches seinerseits drehfest mit der Vorschubwalze 33 gekoppelt ist.According to the invention, the claw rail 21 is now clamped to the upper or lower run of the toothed belt 25 via a clamp 26 and is thus coupled in a force-locking manner. Thus, with a corresponding drive of the bearing housing 22 in the feed direction 3 via the coupling of the claw rail 21 to the toothed belt 25, the drive gear 29 is also driven, which in turn is coupled to the feed roller 33 in a rotationally fixed manner.

Es wird noch erwähnt, daß die Lagerung der Achse 32 auf jeweils seitlichen Lagerplatten 30 erfolgt, wobei die Lagerplatten ggf. unter Zwischenschaltung eines Distanzblocks 31 am Gehäuse befestigt sind.It is also mentioned that the axis 32 is supported on lateral bearing plates 30, the bearing plates possibly being attached to the housing with the interposition of a spacer block 31.

Es kann zusätzlich vorgesehen sein, das Produkt noch über seitlich am Produkt 1 ansetzende Seitenführungen 38 noch zusätzlich zu führen.Provision can additionally be made for the product to be additionally guided via side guides 38 attached to the side of the product 1.

Aufgrund der kraftschlüssigen Kopplung zwischen dem Vorschub der Kralle 11 und der Drehung der Vorschubwalze 33 können keine Schwingungen mehr im Produkt im Zwischenraum zwischen der Vorschubwalze 33 und der Kralle 11 auftreten, weil dieser Bereich exakt in Vorschubrichtung synchron angetrieben ist. Die Scheibestärke des geschnittenen Produkts ist damit absolut gleichmässig. Damit wird im übrigen gewährleistet, daß die Zustellbewegung (Vorschubbewegung) der Kralle nicht nur am hinteren Teil des Produkts eingeleitet wird, sondern zusätzlich noch am vorderen Teil des Produkts wirkt.Due to the non-positive coupling between the feed of the claw 11 and the rotation of the feed roller 33, no more vibrations can occur in the product in the space between the feed roller 33 and the claw 11, because this area is synchronous exactly in the feed direction is driven. The slice thickness of the cut product is absolutely even. This also ensures that the feed movement (feed movement) of the claw is not only initiated on the rear part of the product, but also acts on the front part of the product.

Es fällt ebenso in den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung, wenn man nur eine kraft- und formschlüssige Führung des Produkts an seinem vorderen Ende vorsieht. Eine derartige Führung ist z.B., daß man den aktiven Antrieb der Vorschubwalze entfernt und nur noch dafür sorgt, daß die Vorschubwalze passiv mit ihrer Zahnung an der Unterseite des Produkts sich eingräbt. Auch hier erfolgt dann eine bestimmte Führung des Produkts und eine Stabilisierung der Produktmasse in Bezug auf den nur noch noch hinten angeordneten Vorschubantrieb. Damit wird im vorderen Bereich, außerhalb der Rollenbahn, wo normalerweise nur Rutschbleche angeordnet sind, die beim Stand der Technik vorhandene starke Reibung vermindert, weil erfindungsgemäss die Vorschubwalze eine entsprechende Drehlagerung für das Produkt bildet.It also falls within the scope of the present invention if only a non-positive and positive guidance of the product is provided at its front end. Such guidance is, for example, that you remove the active drive of the feed roller and only ensure that the feed roller passively digs into the underside of the product with its teeth. Here too, the product is guided and the product mass is stabilized with respect to the feed drive, which is only arranged at the rear. Thus, in the front area, outside the roller conveyor, where normally only sliding plates are arranged, the strong friction present in the prior art is reduced, because according to the invention the feed roller forms a corresponding rotary bearing for the product.
