Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Lebensmitteln, insbesondere Brot in Scheiben mit einem Vorraum, vor dem (den) Schneidmesser(n), in den das Lebensmittel durch eine Eingabeöffnung einbringbar ist und aus dem das Lebensmittel insbesondere durch einen Schieber gegen das (die) Messer bewegbar ist, und mit einem Nachraum, in dem das geschnittene Lebensmittel liegt bis es durch eine vordere Entnahmeöffnung entnommen wird, wobei der Nachraum an der Vorderseite der Vorrichtung angeordnet ist und der Vorraum von der Vorderseite der Vorrichtung aus gesehen hinter dem Nachraum liegt, und wobei oberhalb der Entnahmeöffnung und/oder des Nachraums die zum Schneidgatter führende Eingabeöffnung an der Vorderseite der Vorrichtung liegt.The invention relates to a device for cutting food, in particular bread in slices, with a vestibule, in front of the cutting knife (s), into which the food can be inserted through an input opening and from which the food, in particular by means of a slide against the (the ) Knife is movable, and with an adjoining room in which the cut food lies until it is removed through a front removal opening, the adjoining room being arranged on the front of the device and the anteroom lying behind the adjoining room as seen from the front of the device, and where Above the removal opening and / or the post space, the input opening leading to the cutting gate is located on the front of the device.

Es sind Schneidemaschinen für Brot bekannt, die von der Rückseite her mit einem Brotlaib beladen werden, das dann durch einen Schieber gegen die Schneidmesser gedrückt wird, um dann in Scheiben geschnitten, in einen Nachraum zu gelangen, der an der Vorderseite der Maschine angeordnet ist und aus dem die Brotscheiben entnommen werden. Damit muß der Benutzer der Maschine sowohl an der Rückseite als auch an der Vorderseite der Maschine tätig sein, so daß die Maschine um sich herum verhältnismäßig viel Platz erfordert und nicht mit der Rückseite nahe an eine Wand gestellt werden kann. Ferner ist das Hantieren an der Vorder- und Rückseite der Maschine umständlich und kann nur von Fachpersonal durchgeführt werden.Bread slicers are known which are loaded from the rear with a loaf of bread, which is then pressed against the cutting knives by a slide, in order then to be sliced, to reach a subsequent space which is at the front of the machine is arranged and from which the bread slices are removed. This means that the user of the machine has to work on both the rear and the front of the machine, so that the machine requires a relatively large amount of space around it and cannot be placed close to a wall with the back. Handling the front and back of the machine is also cumbersome and can only be carried out by specialist personnel.

Aus der GB 2 242 117 ist eine Brotschneidemaschine bekannt, bei der mehrere Brote übereinander in eine Stapelvorrichtung einlegbar sind, die teilkreisförmig gebogen ist. Eine solch komplizierte Maschine ist für den Einzelhandel, d.h. für Bäckereien zu aufwendig, zumal ein Stapeln von Broten dort nicht erforderlich ist.A bread slicer is known from GB 2 242 117, in which several loaves of bread can be placed one above the other in a stacking device which is bent in the form of a part circle. Such a complicated machine is for retail, i.e. Too expensive for bakeries, especially since there is no need to stack bread there.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß sie nur von der Vorderseite her bedient werden muß, von Laien leicht handhabbar ist und eine einfache Konstruktion aufweist.The object of the invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned in such a way that it only has to be operated from the front, is easy to use by laypeople and has a simple construction.

Diese Aufgabe wird in der Eingangs genannten Vorrichtung erfindungsgmäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Brot über ein Leitblech von der Eingabeöffnung zum Vorraum geführt ist, wobei das Leitblech im hinteren Bereich zum Vorraum hin abfällt und im vorderen Bereich nahe der Eingabeöffnung einen Boden bildet, auf den das Brot legbar ist, und wobei der Boden nahe der Eingabeöffnung an der Vorderseite in eine vordere nach unten abgebogene Wand übergeht, deren unteres Ende die obere Begrenzung der Entnahmeöffnung bildet.This object is achieved according to the invention in the device mentioned in that the bread is guided via a guide plate from the input opening to the anteroom, the guide plate falling towards the anteroom in the rear area and forming a floor in the front area near the input opening on which the Bread can be laid, and the floor near the input opening at the front merges into a front wall which is bent downwards and whose lower end forms the upper boundary of the removal opening.

Damit ist es für die, das Lebensmittel, insbesondere das Brot eingebende Person nicht erforderlich, an der Rückseite der Vorrichtung zu hantieren, sondern sie kann an der Vorderseite der Vorrichtung stehen bleiben, um das Brot von vorne und/oder oben einzugeben und von vorne geschnitten zu entnehmen. Die Handhabung wird dadurch einfacher, schneller und bequemer. Ferner wird die Sicherheit erhöht, da die schneidenden Seiten der Schneidmesser von Hand nicht mehr erreichbar sind. Damit ist die Maschine auch von Laien/Kunden bedienbar.It is therefore not necessary for the person entering the food, in particular the bread, to handle the rear of the device, but can remain standing at the front of the device in order to insert the bread from the front and / or above and cut from the front refer to. This makes handling easier, faster and more convenient. Safety is also increased since the cutting sides of the cutting knives can no longer be reached by hand. This means that the machine can also be operated by laypersons / customers.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist hierbei, daß der obere Boden zusammen mit der vorderen abgebogenen Wand auf einfachste Weise den Innenraum der Maschine in einen oberen Eingaberaum und einen unteren Schneid- und Ausgaberaum trennt, wobei gleichzeitig ein Schutz gegen ein Berühren der Messer geschaffen wird.It is particularly advantageous here that the upper floor, together with the front curved wall, separates the interior of the machine into an upper input space and a lower cutting and output space in the simplest manner, while at the same time providing protection against touching the knives.

Auch werden durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion, insbesondere durch Merkmale der Unteransprüche eine einfache Konstruktion, geringe Außenabmessungen und leichte Reinigung erreicht.The construction according to the invention, in particular the features of the subclaims, also achieves a simple construction, small external dimensions and easy cleaning.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung in einem senkrechten Querschnitt dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing in a vertical cross section and is described in more detail below.

Die Vorrichtung bzw. Schneidemaschine weist ein Gehäuse 1 mit einer Vorderfront 2 auf, die in etwa der oberen Hälfte der Maschine von unten nach oben gesehen nach hinten zurückweicht und im oberen Bereich eine Eingabeöffnung 3 und darunterliegend eine Entnahmeöffnung 4 aufweist. Die beiden Öffnungen 3, 4 sind durch eine waagerecht verlaufende, etwa senkrecht stehende und mittig etwas nach vorne gewölbte Wand 5 voneinander getrennt.The device or cutting machine has a housing 1 with a front face 2, which in approximately the upper half of the machine, as seen from the bottom upwards, recedes backwards and has an input opening 3 in the upper area and a removal opening 4 underneath. The two openings 3, 4 are separated from one another by a horizontally running, approximately vertical wall 5 that is slightly curved forward.

Die Eingabeöffnung 3 erstreckt sich im Ausführungsbeispiel auch teilweise über die Oberseite der Maschine und ist der Beginn eines Einführschachtes 6, der von der Eingabeöffnung 3 aus von oben vorne nach unten hinten schräg und im Ausführungsbeispiel zusätzlich gekrümmt verläuft und in einem Vorraum 7 endet. Der Boden des Einführschachtes 6 wird von einem Leitblech 8 gebildet, das im vorderen Bereich einen waagerechten oder nur etwas schräg verlaufenden Boden 9 bildet, der in die Wand 5 insbesondere einstückig übergeht. Nach hinten hin fällt das Leitblech 8 zum Vorraum 7 hin ab und ist nach unten hin gekrümmt.In the exemplary embodiment, the input opening 3 also extends partially over the top of the machine and is the start of an insertion shaft 6, which runs obliquely from the input opening 3 from top to bottom and additionally curved in the exemplary embodiment and ends in an anteroom 7. The bottom of the insertion shaft 6 is formed by a guide plate 8, which forms a horizontal or only slightly oblique bottom 9 in the front region, which in particular merges into the wall 5 in one piece. Towards the rear, the guide plate 8 drops down to the anteroom 7 and is curved downward.

Wird durch die Eingabeöffnung 3 das zu schneidende Gut, insbesondere ein Brotlaib eingegeben, so kann es auf den Boden 9 gelegt werden, um über diesen nach hinten geschoben zu werden oder es wird direkt in den Einführschacht 6 gebracht, um dann durch den Einführschacht 6 in den Vorraum 7 über das Leitblech 8 zu gleiten. Im Vorraum 7 fällt das Lebensmittel auf den Boden 10 des Vorraums 7, der von hinten oben nach vorne unten schräg abfällt, so daß das Lebensmittel nach vorne zu einem Schneidmessergatter 11 gleitet, die den Vorraum 7 von einem Nachraum trennen, in den das geschnittene Gut nach Durchqueren des Schneidgatters gelangt. Hierbei ist der Nachraum 12 nahe der Vorderseite der Maschine im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung 4 angeordnet.If the material to be cut, in particular a loaf of bread, is entered through the input opening 3, it can be placed on the floor 9 in order to be pushed back over it, or it is brought directly into the insertion shaft 6 and then through the insertion shaft 6 in to slide the vestibule 7 over the guide plate 8. In the anteroom 7, the food falls on the floor 10 of the anteroom 7, which slopes downwards from top to bottom, so that the food slides forward to a cutting knife gate 11, which separate the anteroom 7 from a neighboring room, into which the cut material after crossing the cutting gate. Here, the post space 12 is arranged near the front of the machine in the region of the removal opening 4.

Das Lebensmittel wird nach Erreichen des Vorraums 7 von einer Lichtschranke 13 erfaßt, die einen Schieber 14 in Richtung des Bodens 10 zu den Schneidmessern hin in Bewegung setzt, der das Lebensmittel durch die Schneidmesser 11 hindurchdrückt.After reaching the vestibule 7, the food is detected by a light barrier 13 which sets a slide 14 in the direction of the floor 10 towards the cutting knives, which pushes the food through the cutting knives 11.

Der Boden 10 ist zur Rückseite hin, und der leicht schräg nach vorne verlaufende Boden 14 des Nachraums 12 nach vorne hin zur leichten Reinigung herausziehbar. Ferner sind der Einführschacht 6 und der Vorraum 7 von einer Schutzwand (Haube) 15 im oberen und rückwärtigen Bereich überdeckt, die teilzylinderförmig gekrümmt geformt ist und im unteren Bereich nahe des hinteren Bereichs des Bodens 10 um eine waagerechte Achse angelenkt ist, um nach hinten hin in Richtung des Pfeiles 16 aufklappbar zu sein. Hierdurch sind Einführschacht 6 und Vorraum 7 zum Reinigen leicht erreichbar.The floor 10 is towards the rear, and the slightly obliquely forward floor 14 of the room 12 can be pulled out for easy cleaning. Furthermore, the insertion shaft 6 and the anteroom 7 are covered by a protective wall (hood) 15 in the upper and rear area, which is curved in the shape of a partial cylinder and is articulated in the lower area near the rear area of the floor 10 about a horizontal axis, to the rear to be hinged in the direction of arrow 16. As a result, insertion shaft 6 and vestibule 7 are easily accessible for cleaning.

Im Bereich der Eingabeöffnung 3 und/oder des Einführschachtes 6 ist mindestens eine Lichtschranke 17 angeordnet, die den Betrieb der Maschine unterbricht, sobald eine Person während des Schneidens die Lichtschranke mit der Hand erreicht.At least one light barrier 17 is arranged in the area of the input opening 3 and / or the insertion shaft 6, which interrupts the operation of the machine as soon as a person reaches the light barrier by hand during cutting.
