Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gemüsehobel, insbesondere für Obst, Gemüse und ähnliche Lebensmittel, zum Schneiden des Schneidgutes in Scheiben oder Streifen.The invention relates to a vegetable slicer, in particular for fruit, vegetables and similar foods, for cutting the material to be cut into slices or strips.

Herkömmliche Gemüsehobel bestehen meist aus Rahmenelementen mit einer Anlauf- und einer Ablauffläche, vorzugsweise in einstückiger Ausbildung aus Kunststoff. Zwischen Anlauf- und Ablauffläche sind geeignete Schneid- oder Raspelmesser vorgesehen. Diese können austauschbar sein. Zum Raspeln oder Schneiden von Obst oder Gemüse wird das Schneidgut von der Anlauffläche über den Messerabschnitt in Richtung der Ablauffläche bewegt. Beim überfahren des Messerabschnitts wird das Schneidgut geschnitten und die entsprechenden Abschnitte werden hierbei zum Teil nach unten ausgeworfen.Conventional vegetable slicers usually consist of frame elements with a run-up and a run-off surface, preferably in one-piece design made of plastic. Suitable cutting or rasping knives are provided between the run-on and run-off surfaces. These can be interchangeable. For grating or cutting fruit or vegetables, the material to be cut is moved from the contact surface via the knife section in the direction of the discharge surface. When the knife section is passed over, the material to be cut is cut and the corresponding sections are partially ejected downwards.

Aus der DE-PS 27 27 358 C3 (IHLOW) ist ein Gemüsehobel, insbesondere für Obst, Gemüse und ähnliche Lebensmittel, bekannt zum Schneiden des Schneidgutes in Scheiben oder Streifen mit einer als höhenverstellbaren Zunge ausgebildeten Anlauffläche für das zu schneidende Gut, einer Auflagewalze für die zungenartige Anlauffläche, einem in der Bewegungsrichtung des Schneidgutes im Abstand oberhalb von der zungenartigen Anlauffläche ortsfest angeordneten, etwa parallel zur Anlauffläche ausgerichteten Scheibenschneidmesser,mit senkrecht zum Scheibenschneidmesser stehenden und in die Anlauffläche einschwenkbaren Streifenschneidmessern, wobei die Auflagewalze für die zungenartige Anlauffläche gleichzeitig als Träger für mindestens zwei Reihen von Streifenschneidmessern ausgebildet ist, der Messerabstand in jeder Reihe konstant aber von Reihe zu Reihe verschieden ist, für welche in der zungenartigen Anlauffläche Durchtrittsschlitze vorgesehen sind und wobei die Auflagewalze in unterschiedlichen Winkellagen verdrehbar ist, so daß die Streifenschnitte mit unterschiedlichen Messerabständen durchführbar sind. Bei diesem bekannten Gemüsehobel hat die Auflagewalze einen runden Querschnitt und ist exzentrisch gelagert. Durch ein Verdrehen der Walze ragen die auf der Walze vorgesehenen Messer somit in unterschiedlicher Höhe über die Anlauffläche hinaus. Die Herstellung und Montage exzentrisch ausgebildeter Bauteile erfordert jedoch herstellungstechnisch gesehen einen erhöhten Aufwand. Gerade im Bereich von Massenprodukten ist es heute im internationalen Wettbewerb jedoch unerläßlich, ständig preisgünstigere Herstellungs- und Montagemöglichkeiten zu suchen. Hier greift die vorliegende Erfindung ein.From DE-PS 27 27 358 C3 (IHLOW) a vegetable slicer, in particular for fruit, vegetables and similar foods, is known for cutting the material to be cut into slices or strips with a contact surface designed as a height-adjustable tongue for the material to be cut, one Support roller for the tongue-like contact surface, a disc cutting knife fixedly arranged in the direction of movement of the material at a distance above the tongue-like contact surface, approximately parallel to the contact surface, with strip cutting knives which are perpendicular to the disc cutting knife and can be swiveled into the contact surface, the support roller for the tongue-like contact surface simultaneously serving as Carrier is designed for at least two rows of strip cutting knives, the knife spacing in each row is constant but different from row to row, for which passage slots are provided in the tongue-like contact surface and the support roller can be rotated in different angular positions, so that the strip cuts with different knife spacings are feasible. In this known vegetable slicer, the support roller has a round cross section and is mounted eccentrically. By rotating the roller, the knives provided on the roller thus protrude at different heights beyond the contact surface. The manufacture and assembly of eccentrically trained components, however, requires an increased outlay in terms of manufacturing technology. Especially in the field of mass products, it is essential today in international competition to constantly look for cheaper manufacturing and assembly options. This is where the present invention intervenes.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Gemüsehobel der eingangs genannten Art derart zu verbessern, daß er einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The object of the invention is to improve a vegetable slicer of the type mentioned in such a way that it is simple and inexpensive to produce.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Auflagewalze für die zungenartige Anlauffläche einen mehreckigen, vorzugsweise sechseckigen, Querschnitt hat und mit einer zentrischen Welle im Rahmen gelagert ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the support roller for the tongue-like contact surface has a polygonal, preferably hexagonal, cross section and is mounted in the frame with a central shaft.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind über den Umfang der Walze mehrere Abstandsnocken vorhanden, an denen die walzenseitige Unterseite der Anlauffläche anliegt.In an embodiment of the invention, a plurality of spacing cams are present over the circumference of the roller, on which the roller-side underside of the contact surface rests.

In Fortbildung der Erfindung ist die Anlauffläche in einem kleinen Schwenkbereich elastisch am Rahmen gelagert. Die Elastizität wird vorzugsweise dadurch erreicht, daß die Anlauffläche durch jeweils einen Schnitt vom Rahmen getrennt und damit federzungenartig ausgebildet ist.In a further development of the invention, the contact surface is elastically supported on the frame in a small swivel range. The elasticity is preferably achieved in that the contact surface is separated from the frame by a cut in each case and is thus designed in the manner of spring tongues.

In weiterer Fortbildung der erfindung überkragt die Anlauffläche mit ihrer Vorderkante die Walze, wobei die Vorderkante von den Abstandsnocken abgestützt ist.In a further development of the invention, the contact surface projects beyond the roller with its front edge, the front edge being supported by the spacer cams.

In Figur 1 ist ein Gemüsehobel 1 mit einer Anlauffläche 2 für das Schneidgut, beispielsweise Gurken, Karotten, Zwiebeln, usw., wiedergegeben. Das Schneidgut wird mit seiner Stirnfläche auf die Anlauffläche 2 aufgesetzt. Die Anlauffläche 2 ist durch zwei seitliche Schnitte, von denen der Schnitt 21 in Figur 1 wiedergegeben ist, von den Rahmenelementen 11, 12 getrennt. Die Anlauffläche 2 hat daher die Eigenschaft einer elastischen Zunge. In der Anlauffläche 2 ist quer zur Bewegungsrichtung des Schneidgutes, die durch den Pfeil BR gekennzeichnet ist, eine Messerreihe mit senkrecht stehenden, zueinander parallelen und mit den Schneidkanten gegen das Schneidgut orientierten Streifenschneidmessern 31 wiedergegeben. Am Ende und oberhalb der Anlauffläche 2 ist parallel zu dieser in einer Ablauf- oder Schneidfläche 4 das Scheibenschneidmesser 5 angeordnet. Es hat sich bekanntermaßen als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, dem Schneidmesser 5 eine V-förmige Gestalt zu geben, wobei der V-Winkel mehr oder minder groß sein kann.1 shows a vegetable slicer 1 with a contact surface 2 for the material to be cut, for example cucumbers, carrots, onions, etc. The cut material is placed with its end face on the contact surface 2. The contact surface 2 is separated from the frame elements 11, 12 by two lateral cuts, of which the cut 21 is shown in FIG. 1. The contact surface 2 therefore has the property of an elastic tongue. In the run-up surface 2, a row of knives with perpendicular, parallel to one another and with the cutting edges oriented against the material to be cut is shown across the direction of movement of the material to be cut, which is indicated by the arrow BR. At the end and above the run-up surface 2, the disk cutting knife 5 is arranged parallel to the run-up or cutting surface 4. As is known, it has proven to be very advantageous to give the cutting knife 5 a V-shaped configuration, the V angle being able to be more or less large.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Walze 3, auf deren Umfang zwei Messersätze 31, 32 vorgesehen sind. Die beiden Messersätze 31, 32 unterscheiden sich durch die Anzahl und dem Abstand der Messer. Die Messersätze 31, 32 können auf der Walze 3 austauschbar sein.Figure 2 shows a roller 3, on the circumference of two Knife sets 31, 32 are provided. The two sets of knives 31, 32 differ in the number and spacing of the knives. The knife sets 31, 32 can be exchangeable on the roller 3.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Querschnittsansicht nach der Linie III - III von Figur 2 einer sechseckig ausgebildeten Walze 3. Erkennbar ist die zentrische Anordnung der Drehachse 36. Neben den Streifenschneidmessern 31, 32 sind geeignet ausgebildete Abstandsnocken 34, 35 vorhanden. Damit bei den enger stehenden Streifenschneidmssern 31 auch die vom Scheibenschneidmesser 5 abgeschnittenen Scheiben dünner ausfallen, ist der Nocken 35 deutlich länger ausgebildet als der Nocken 34, der mit dem Streifenschneidmesser 32 zusammenwirkt, wenn die Messer 32 in Schneidstellung geschwenkt worden sind.Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view along the line III - III of Figure 2 of a hexagonal roller 3. The central arrangement of the axis of rotation 36 can be seen. In addition to the strip cutting knives 31, 32 there are suitably designed spacing cams 34, 35. So that the slices cut by the slicing knife 5 also turn out to be thinner in the narrower strip cutting knives 31, the cam 35 is designed to be significantly longer than the cam 34 which interacts with the strip cutting knife 32 when the knives 32 have been pivoted into the cutting position.

Figur 4 zeigt schließlich eine teilweise aufgebrochene schematische Seitenansicht des erfindungsgemäßen Gemüsehobels 1. Deutlich erkennbar ist, daß die Walze 3 zentrischdrehbar in den Rahmenelementen 11, 12 gelagert ist. Die elastisch an den Rahmenelementen 11, 12 befestigte Anlauffläche 2 liegt auf dem Abstandsnocken 34 der Walze 3 auf. Die Schneidmesser 32 durchgreifen die Anlauffläche 2. In der Ablauffläche 4 liegt das Scheibenschneidmesser 5. Nur infolge der Unterstützung der Ablauffläche 2 durch die Abstandsnocken 34, 35 ist es möglich, der Anlauffläche 2 an ihrer zum Scheibenschneidmesser 5 orientierten Kante 23 (Figur 4) eine V-Form wie dem Schneidmesser 5 zu geben. Ohne die Unterstützung durch die Abstandsnocken 34, 35 würde die elastische Anlauffläche 2 durch den Druck des aufgesetzten Schneidgutes nach unten weggedrückt.FIG. 4 finally shows a partially broken schematic side view of the vegetable slicer 1 according to the invention. It can be clearly seen that the roller 3 is mounted in the frame elements 11, 12 so that it can be rotated centrally. The contact surface 2, which is elastically fastened to the frame elements 11, 12, rests on the spacing cam 34 of the roller 3. The cutting knives 32 pass through the contact surface 2. The disk cutting knife 5 lies in the contact surface 4. Only as a result of the support of the contact surface 2 by the spacing cams 34, 35 is it possible to contact the contact surface 2 at its edge 23 (FIG. 4) oriented toward the disk cutting knife 5 To give V-shape like the cutting knife 5. Without the support of the spacer cams 34, 35, the elastic contact surface 2 would be pushed downwards by the pressure of the material to be cut.

Wie vorstehend dargelegt worden ist, sind die Messer 5; 31, 32 austauschbar. Dieses bedeutet, daß die Messer nachträglich montiert werden und auch wieder demontierbar sind. Diese Eigenschaft des Gemüsehobels 1 hat den großen Vorteil, daß sämtliche Einzelteile und damit der gesamte Gemüsehobel 1 im hohen Maße recyclingfähig ist, da sämtliche verwandten Materialien trennbar sind.As stated above, the knives 5; 31, 32 interchangeable. This means that the knives can be retrofitted and dismantled again. This property of the vegetable slicer 1 has the great advantage that all of the individual parts and thus the entire vegetable slicer 1 can be recycled to a high degree, since all the materials used are separable.
