Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum schindelartigen Anordnen von aufgeschnittenen Gütern, insbesondere Wurst, Speck oder Käse, wobei eine Schneidemaschine vorgesehen ist, die ein erstes Fördermittel mit geschnittenem Schnittgut beschickt und wobei in Förderrichtung nach dem ersten Fördermittel ein zweites Fördermittel vorgesehen ist, und die Förderbewegungen der beiden Fördermittel im wesentlichen parallel sind, und das erste Fördermittel unterschiedlich lange Vorschübe zur Schindelung und Portionierung des Schnittgutes ausführt, und das zweite Fördermittel das Schnittgut einer weiteren Bearbeitungsstation zuführt.The invention relates to a device for shingle-like arrangement of sliced goods, in particular sausage, bacon or cheese, wherein a cutting machine is provided, which feeds a first conveying means with cut clippings and a second conveying means is provided in the conveying direction after the first conveying means, and the conveying movements of the two conveying means are essentially parallel, and the first conveying means executes feeds of different lengths for shingling and portioning the clippings, and the second conveying means feeds the clippings to a further processing station.

Das schindelartige Anordnen von aufgeschnittenen Gütern, z.B. Lebensmittel wie Wurst, Speck oder Käse, ist eine seit langem verwendete Form der Präsentation. Das schindelartige Anordnen von Schnittgut ist einfach zu verwirklichen, indem das Schnittgut auf ein erstes Fördermittel abfällt und das Fördermittel zwischen zwei aufeinander folgenden Scheiben kurze Vorschübe ausführt. Ist die Portionierung beendet, so erfolgt ein längerer Vorschub, wodurch das Produkt auf das zweite Fördermittel abgesetzt wird.The shingle-like arrangement of sliced goods, e.g. Food such as sausage, bacon or cheese is a long-used form of presentation. The shingle-like arrangement of clippings is easy to implement by the clippings dropping onto a first conveying means and the conveying means performing short feeds between two successive disks. When the portioning is complete, the feed is extended, which places the product on the second conveyor.

Hat das Schneidgut einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt, dann liegt das Schneidgut in der Schneidmaschine mit der längeren Seite auf der Unterlage der Schneidmaschine auf. Die Schindelung erfolgt durch Versetzung der einzelnen Scheiben in Richtung der kürzeren Seite des Rechtecks. Eine solche Schindelung führt zu verhältnismäßig großflächigen Verpackungen mit einem entsprechenden Aufwand an Verpackungsmaterial.If the material to be cut has an essentially rectangular cross section, the material to be cut lies in the cutting machine with the longer side on the support of the cutting machine. The shingle is done by moving the individual slices in the direction of the shorter side of the rectangle. Such a shingle leads to relatively large-area packaging with a corresponding expenditure on packaging material.

In vielen Fällen, beispielsweise dann, wenn die fertigen Verpackungen in Verkaufsständern hängen, wäre es erwünscht, eine Schindelung in Richtung der längeren Seite des Rechtecks vorzunehmen. In diesem Fall wäre der Verpackungsaufwand wesentlich geringer, dennoch läßt sich bei durchsichtigem Verpackungsmaterial der Inhalt und insbesondere die Zahl der verpackten Scheiben erkennen.In many cases, for example when the finished packaging is hanging in sales stands, it would be desirable to shingle towards the longer side of the rectangle. In this case, the packaging effort would be significantly lower, but the contents and in particular the number of packaged slices can be seen with transparent packaging material.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung dahingehend auszugestalten, daß platzsparende Verpackungen erhalten werden.The invention has for its object to design a device of the type described above in such a way that space-saving packaging is obtained.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung aus von einer Vorrichtung der oben beschriebenen Art und schlägt vor, daß das erste Fördermittel auch eine Schiebebewegung ausführt, die im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung ausgerichtet ist.To achieve this object, the invention is based on a device of the type described above and proposes that the first conveying means also carry out a sliding movement which is oriented essentially at right angles to the conveying direction.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird durch diese Vorrichtung auf einfache Art und Weise gelöst. Das rechteckige Aufschnittgut, z.B. Bacon liegt auf seiner langen Seite auf der Auflage des Schneidemessers. Das aufgeschnittene Gut wird jetzt längs der langen Seite des Gutes geschindelt, wodurch eine kleinere Verpackungseinheit bei gleichem Gewicht erzielt wird als bei den bekannten Verpackungen, bei denen längs der schmalen Seite des rechteckigen Gutes geschindelt wird.The object of the invention is achieved in a simple manner by this device. The rectangular sliced meat, e.g. Bacon lies on its long side on the support of the cutting knife. The sliced good is now shingled along the long side of the good, whereby a smaller packaging unit with the same weight is achieved as with the known packaging, in which shingling along the narrow side of the rectangular good.

Es ist gefunden worden, daß es von Vorteil ist, daß nach dem Schnitt der Schneidemaschine das erste Fördermittel eine Schiebebewegung und / oder eine Förderbewegung ausführt. Es ist somit möglich, daß die Auflagefläche des ersten Fördermittels in der Ebene der Auflagefläche verschiebbar ist. Durch diese Anordnung erreicht die Erfindung einen überraschenden Effekt, der es möglich macht, beliebige Schindelanordnungen des zu verpackenden Gutes herzustellen. Es ist z.B. möglich, runde Wurstscheiben, z.B. Mortadella, spiralförmig anzuordnen.It has been found that it is advantageous that after the cutting machine has been cut, the first conveying means carries out a sliding movement and / or a conveying movement. It is thus possible for the contact surface of the first conveying means to be displaceable in the plane of the contact surface. With this arrangement, the invention achieves a surprising effect, which makes it possible to produce any shingle arrangement of the goods to be packaged. It is e.g. possible, round sausage slices, e.g. Mortadella, arranged in a spiral.

Es ist vorteilhaft, daß auf das erste Fördermittel bei den Schiebebewegungen in beiden Richtungen Schnittgut auflegbar ist. Die vor dem ersten Fördermittel vorgeschalteten Schneidemaschine schneidet eine größere Zahl von Scheiben pro Sekunde ab. Ein Zurückfahren des ersten Fördermittels in die Ausgangslage nach jeder Portion wäre zeitaufwendig und würde bei den hohen Geschwindigkeiten der Aufschneidemaschinen zu Stockungen führen.It is advantageous that clippings can be placed on the first conveyor during the sliding movements in both directions. The cutting machine upstream of the first conveyor cuts a larger number of slices per second. A return of the first conveying means to the starting position after each serving would be time-consuming and would lead to stalling at the high speeds of the slicing machines.

Es ist von Vorteil, daß die Vorrichtung eine Steuerung für die Schiebebewegung des ersten Fördermittels aufweist, wobei die Steuerung auf den Förderantrieb und den Schiebeantrieb einwirkt. Es ist eine Steuerung vorgesehen, die die Schindelanordnung des aufgeschnittenen Gutes steuert. Die Schindelanordnung ist vorgebbar, je nach aufgelegtem Aufschnittgut ist es möglich, nur eine Längsschindelung vorzunehmen, z.B. für Bacon oder aber es ist möglich, ein Steuerungsprogramm vorzusehen, das zu einer kreisrunden oder spiralförmigen Schindelung führt, z.B. für Mortadella.It is advantageous that the device has a control for the sliding movement of the first conveyor, the control acting on the conveyor drive and the slide drive. A control is provided which controls the shingle arrangement of the cut goods. The shingle arrangement can be specified, depending on the sliced material placed on it, it is possible to carry out only one longitudinal shingle, for example for Bacon or it is possible to provide a control program that leads to a circular or spiral shingling, eg for Mortadella.

Es ist von Vorteil, daß sich die Richtung der Schiebebewegung nach jeder Portion umkehrt.It is advantageous that the direction of the sliding movement is reversed after each serving.

Es ist günstig, daß die Schiebebewegung des ersten Fördermittels längs der Förderrichtung des zweiten Fördermittels durch ein umlaufendes Riemenband erfolgt, wobei das Riemenband an einer Auflage umläuft und der Schub rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung des zweiten Fördermittels durch einen Arbeitszylinder erfolgt und der Arbeitszylinder an einer Seite der Auflage des ersten Fördermittels angreift. Durch dieses Ausführungsbeispiel wird der erfindungsgemäße Gedanke auf einfache Weise verwirklicht. Durch die Verwendung eines umlaufenden Riemenbandes und eines Arbeitszylinders, der an einer Seite der Auflage des Fördermittels derart angreift, daß die Auflage rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung verschoben wird, wird eine Bewegungsmöglichkeit realisiert, durch die das aufliegende Gut in zwei Dimensionen, also einer Ebene verschiebbar ist.It is favorable that the sliding movement of the first conveying means takes place along the conveying direction of the second conveying means by means of a circumferential belt belt, the belt belt revolving on a support and the thrust being perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism by a working cylinder and the working cylinder on one side of the support of the first funding. The inventive idea is implemented in a simple manner by this exemplary embodiment. Through the use of a circumferential belt belt and a working cylinder which engages on one side of the support of the conveying means in such a way that the support is displaced at right angles to the conveying direction, a possibility of movement is realized by means of which the material lying thereon can be displaced in two dimensions, that is to say one plane.

Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, daß die Förderrichtung des ersten Fördermittels in die Gegenrichtung umsteuerbar ist.In particular, it is provided that the conveying direction of the first conveying means can be reversed in the opposite direction.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 eine Schneidemaschine bezeichnet. Die Schneidemaschine 1 besteht aus einem Gestell 11, das zum Beispiel zwei Seiten eines rechtwinkligen Dreiecks bildet. Die Auflage 12 bildet die dritte Seite des Dreiecks und schließt mit der Horizontalen einen Winkel ein. Auf der Auflagefläche 12 liegt das Schnittgut 16 auf. Durch die schräge Lage der Auflagefläche 12 wird der Transport des Schnittgutes 16, z.B. Wurst oder Käse, erleichtert. Um den Antrieb des Schnittgutes 16 auf der Auflagefläche 12 zu steuern, ist ein Transportmittel 13 vorgesehen, daß z.B. am hinteren Ende des Schnittgutes 16 angreift. Dadurch wird es möglich, daß das Schnittgut 16 längs des Pfeiles 15, der parallel zur Auflagefläche 12 verläuft, verschiebbar ist. Insbesondere kann das Schnittgut 16 an die Schneidebene 14 geführt werden.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a cutting machine. The cutting machine 1 consists of a frame 11 which, for example, forms two sides of a right-angled triangle. The support 12 forms the third side of the triangle and forms an angle with the horizontal. The clippings 16 rest on the support surface 12. Due to the inclined position of the support surface 12, the transport of the clippings 16, e.g. Sausage or cheese, relieved. In order to control the drive of the cut material 16 on the support surface 12, a transport means 13 is provided, e.g. attacks at the rear end of the clippings 16. This makes it possible for the clippings 16 to be displaceable along the arrow 15, which runs parallel to the support surface 12. In particular, the clippings 16 can be guided to the cutting plane 14.

Die Scheibe 4 ist in dem Moment gezeigt, in dem sie gerade aufgeschnitten ist und auf das Fördermittel 2 fällt. Auf dem Fördermittel 2 werden die herabfallenden Scheiben 4 zu schindelartigen Portionen 5 zusammengestellt. Bekannt ist eine Schindelung, die parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung 32 erfolgt, das heißt, die geschindelten Scheiben liegen längs der Bewegungsrichtung 32. Diese bekannte Art der Schindelung ist in dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwar ebenfalls möglich, aber nicht gezeigt.The disc 4 is shown at the moment when it is just cut open and falls on the conveyor 2. The falling disks 4 are assembled into shingle-like portions 5 on the conveyor 2. A shingling is known which takes place parallel to the direction of movement 32, that is to say the shingled disks lie along the direction of movement 32. This known type of shingling is likewise possible in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, but is not shown.

Das Fördermittel 2 weist zum Antrieb längs der Förderrichtung 9 einen Motor 23 auf. Das Fördermittel 2 ist z.B. als Riemenband 25 ausgestaltet, das um die Rollen 26 und 27 gelenkt ist. Es sind unterschiedlich lange Vorschübe längs der Förderrichtung 9 vorgesehen, durch die das auf der Auflage 24 aufliegende Gut, z.B. eine Portion 5, weiter geschindelt wird, oder die fertige Portion 5 durch eine lange Vorschubbewegung auf das nachgeschaltete Fördermittel 3 übergeben wird.The conveying means 2 has a motor 23 for driving along the conveying direction 9. The funding 2 is e.g. designed as a belt 25, which is guided around the rollers 26 and 27. Feeds of different lengths are provided along the conveying direction 9, through which the material lying on the support 24, e.g. a portion 5, is shingled further, or the finished portion 5 is transferred to the downstream conveyor 3 by a long feed movement.

Um das Fördermittel 2 rechtwinklig zu der Förderrichtung 32 bzw. zu der Förderrichtung 9 des Fördermittels versetzen zu können, ist ein Arbeitszylinder 21 vorgesehen, der an der Seite der Auflage 24 angreift. Der Arbeitszylinder 21 stützt sich in einem Widerlager 22 ab und bewirkt eine rechtwinklige Versetzung der Auflage 24 bezüglich der Förderrichtung 32 bzw. 9. Diese Schiebebewegung ist durch den Doppelpfeil 10 angedeutet. Auf der Auflage 24 werden die herabfallenden Scheiben 4 zu Portionen geschindelt, wobei die Schindelung nun rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung 9 bzw. 32 erfolgt. Der Arbeitszylinder 21 ist z.B. als Pneumatikzylinder oder als elektrischer bidirektionaler Antrieb ausgeführt.Around the conveying means 2 at right angles to the conveying direction 32 or to be able to move to the conveying direction 9 of the conveying means, a working cylinder 21 is provided which engages on the side of the support 24. The working cylinder 21 is supported in an abutment 22 and causes the support 24 to be displaced at right angles with respect to the conveying direction 32 or 9. This sliding movement is indicated by the double arrow 10. The falling disks 4 are shingled into portions on the support 24, the shingling now taking place at right angles to the conveying direction 9 or 32. The working cylinder 21 is designed, for example, as a pneumatic cylinder or as an electrical bidirectional drive.

Nachdem die Schindelung auf dem ersten Fördermittel 2 abgeschlossen ist, wird die Portion 5 auf das zweite Fördermittel 3 übergeben, wobei der Abstand zwischen den beiden Fördermittel kürzer sein kann wie in der Zeichnung gezeigt, um ein Herunterfallen der aufgeschnittenen Ware zu vermeiden. Hierzu wird ein längerer Vorschub längs der Förderrichtung 9 auf dem ersten Fördermittel 2 bewirkt. Auf dem zweiten Fördermittel 3 liegen bereits mehrere aufgeschnittene Portionen 6, 7 und 8 auf. Die Portionen 6, 7 und 8 liegen auf einer Auflage 31. Die Auflage 31 ist z.B. als Laufband ausgestaltet, das um die Rollen 34 und 35 umgelenkt ist.After the shingling on the first conveyor 2 is completed, the portion 5 is transferred to the second conveyor 3, wherein the distance between the two conveyors can be shorter as shown in the drawing in order to prevent the cut goods from falling off. For this purpose, a longer feed along the conveying direction 9 is effected on the first conveying means 2. Several cut portions 6, 7 and 8 are already on the second conveyor 3. The portions 6, 7 and 8 are on a support 31. The support 31 is e.g. designed as a treadmill, which is deflected around the rollers 34 and 35.

Es ist ein Motor 33 vorgesehen, durch welchen das zweite Fördermittel 3 angetrieben wird. Es ist vorgesehen, daß das Fördermittel 3 sich mit einer konstanten Geschwindigkeit bewegt. Dadurch ist der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Portionen 6, 7 und 8 konstant. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn eine nachgeschaltete Maschine, z.B. eine Vakuumverpackungsmaschine, beschickt werden soll.A motor 33 is provided, by means of which the second conveying means 3 is driven. It is envisaged that the conveyor 3 moves at a constant speed. As a result, the distance between the individual portions 6, 7 and 8 is constant. This is particularly advantageous if a downstream machine, e.g. a vacuum packaging machine to be loaded.

In Fig. 2 sind auf der Auflage 31 drei verschiedenen Portionen 6, 7 und 8 gezeigt. Die Portionen sind rechtwinklig zu der Förderrichtung 32 geschindelt. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Portionen 6 und 8 gleichsinnig geschindelt, die Portion 7 gegensinnig geschindelt. Man erhält eine solche Anordnung der Portionen 6, 7 und 8, wenn längs beider Schiebebewegung 10 Scheiben 4 auf das erste Fördermittel 2 abgelegt werden.2, three different portions 6, 7 and 8 are shown on the support 31. The portions are shingled at right angles to the conveying direction 32. In this embodiment portions 6 and 8 are shingled in the same direction, portion 7 shingled in opposite directions. Such an arrangement of the portions 6, 7 and 8 is obtained when 10 slices 4 are placed on the first conveying means 2 along both sliding movements.

Die so erhaltenen Portionen weisen einen deutlich geringeren Verbrauch an Verpackungsmaterial auf als die herkömmlichen längsgeschindelten Portionen.The portions obtained in this way have a significantly lower consumption of packaging material than the conventional longitudinally shingled portions.

Zur Steuerung der Schindelung der Portionen ist eine Steuerung 20 vorgesehen. Diese Steuerung 20 ist mit der Steuerleitung 37 mit dem Arbeitszylinder 21 verbunden. Über eine Steuerleitung 38 ist die Steuerung 20 mit dem Motor 33 des zweiten Fördermittels 3 verbunden. Über eine weitere Steuerleitung 39 ist die Steuerung 20 mit dem Motor 23 der ersten Fördermittels 2 verbunden.A controller 20 is provided to control the shingling of the portions. This controller 20 is connected to the control line 37 with the working cylinder 21. The controller 20 is connected to the motor 33 of the second conveying means 3 via a control line 38. The controller 20 is connected to the motor 23 of the first conveyor 2 via a further control line 39.

Es ist möglich, daß der Steuerung ein Programm für die Art und Weise der Schindelung der Portionen vorgegeben ist. Da die Auflage 24 des ersten Fördermittels 2 längs der Förderrichtung 9 in beide Richtungen und auch längs der Schieberichtung 10 in beide Richtungen verschiebbar ist, sind unterschiedliche Anordnungen und Schindelungen des aufgeschnittenen Schneidgutes zu Portionen möglich. Hierzu wirkt die Steuerung auf den Arbeitszylinder 21 und den Antriebsmotor 23 ein. Die Steuerung 20 wirkt auch rechtzeitig auf den Antriebsmotor 23 ein, um ein Umsetzen der Portion von dem ersten Fördermittel 2 auf das zweite Fördermittel 3 zu bewirken.It is possible that the control system is given a program for the manner in which the portions are shingled. Since the support 24 of the first conveying means 2 can be displaced in both directions along the conveying direction 9 and also in both directions along the sliding direction 10, different arrangements and shingles of the cut material to be cut are possible in portions. For this purpose, the control acts on the working cylinder 21 and the drive motor 23. The controller 20 also acts on the drive motor 23 in good time in order to convert the portion from the first conveyor 2 to the second conveyor 3.
