Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cutting a resting on a base food product into wedge-shaped pieces according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from DE-A-1038726 known.
  • Such a food product may, for example, be a substantially cuboid cheese bar to be cut into wedge-shaped pieces, since a wedge shape of the pieces - instead of a purely rectangular shape - may increase the acceptance of possible buyers of these pieces and thus promote sales.
  • a piece is referred to as wedge-shaped in a general way, which has a substantially trapezoidal side surface or cross-sectional area, ie a surface whose outline has two substantially parallel and two mutually substantially angled boundaries.
  • This known device has the disadvantage that no weight-accurate cutting of the cheese bar is made possible.
  • the shape and arrangement of the wire grid specifies the outline of the trapezoidal side surfaces or cross-sectional areas.
  • the wedge-shaped pieces of a cheese bar or various cheese bars undesirably have different weights.
  • the article mentioned in connection with the device according to the invention or the method according to the invention is a food product, in particular a cheese bar.
  • This article is preferably rectangular, i. it has at least one rectangular side surface.
  • the article has only a rectangular cross-sectional area, while for example it appears cylindrical from the outside.
  • the device according to the invention thus has a cutting means, for example a knife, through which individual pieces of the object can be cut off, wherein the cutting movement perpendicular to. the base of the device takes place, on which the object rests.
  • a cutting means for example a knife
  • Another piece may be cut from the article after the article and cutting means are moved relative to each other by the transport.
  • the pieces can be cut in different angular positions of the cutting means and thus wedge-shaped from the object, since the cutting means is pivotable in different pivot positions so that its cutting plane is still perpendicular to the base in each pivot position.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage that it allows an individual and thus a weight-accurate cutting into wedge-shaped pieces even with substantially purely rectangular objects.
  • wedge-shaped pieces of each predeterminable weight may be cut from the article, or the article may be cut into a predetermined number of wedge-shaped pieces each having the same weight.
  • Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that the sequential cutting of the article into wedge-shaped pieces enables a sequential further processing and thus facilitates an automated further processing of these pieces. Since the pieces are cut individually from the object, in contrast to the simultaneous cutting of an object by means of a wire grid, they can be separated in a simple manner, in particular by machine, immediately after the cutting operation has taken place, ie. be removed from the remaining object.
  • the wedge-shaped pieces thus sequentially cut out of the article may be supplied to a downstream processing device, for example a device for packaging these pieces, at a substantially constant transport rate.
  • the device is designed such that the pivot axis of the cutting means is arranged substantially half the width of the base surface on which the object rests for cutting, as width of this base their extension direction applies, which is perpendicular to the transport direction of cutting means and object.
  • the pivoting of the cutting means thus takes place in particular about its central axis.
  • This embodiment of the device allows - when moving the object and the cutting means relative to each other at substantially the same feed distance - the cutting of a rectangular object in each wedge-shaped in the same size Pieces (cf. Fig. 4 ).
  • a particularly simple construction of the device can be achieved if exactly two pivot positions are provided for pivoting the cutting plane of the cutting means, wherein the cutting means in one of these two pivot positions preferably perpendicular to the transport direction, i. extending parallel to the width of the base.
  • a higher flexibility of the device with respect to the shape or the weight of the pieces can be achieved if, however, a plurality of discrete pivoting positions or variable pivoting positions are provided for the cutting plane of the cutting means.
  • At least one actuating element may be provided, which in particular has a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, a lever, a mechanical cam drive or a servo drive.
  • a counter-pressure element for example a spring, is provided for this actuating element.
  • the cutting means is formed as a guillotine blade, for example, pivotally supported within a frame or fixedly mounted within a pivotable frame, which frame may be driven by the drive means for performing the cutting motion of the cutting means.
  • the device according to the invention can have as drive means for the cutting means one or more connecting rods, which are arranged substantially adjacent to the base surface.
  • At least one conveyor belt is provided, through which the article is moved in the transport direction.
  • the cutting means does not perform its own movement in the transport direction, but it is only driven to the cutting movement.
  • a conveyor belt as a means of transport in each case a part of this conveyor belt forms said base, on which the object to be cut rests.
  • the pivoting of the cutting means can each take place either before or after the associated cutting movement, and it can be performed in parallel to a movement of the object and the cutting means relative to each other.
  • the feed distance, by which the object and the cutting means are moved relative to each other, for an object to be cut substantially equal in size. This allows a particularly simple drive the relative transport movement and a relatively uniform rate at which pieces are cut and transported.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 show in schematic front view and top view parts of a cutting device according to the invention.
  • This has a control and drive unit 11, and an endless infeed conveyor belt 13 and an endless discharge belt 15, which are connected to the control and drive unit 11 via drive shafts indicated in the figures only by their axes of rotation.
  • the respective upper sides of the two belts 13, 15 are independently drivable by means of the control and drive unit 11 for a transport movement in the horizontal transport direction A.
  • a frame 17 is provided as a cutting means, in the center of a blade 19 is arranged, which has a cutting surface on its underside.
  • the frame 17 together with the blade 19 can be driven to a vertical cutting movement B by means of a crank rod arranged within the control and drive unit 11.
  • Fig. 1 shows the frame 17 in its lowermost position. In the plan view according to Fig. 2 the frame 17 is aligned perpendicular to the transport direction A.
  • Fig. 5 shows the frame 17 and the blade 19 in a schematic side view.
  • the blade 19 is pivotable relative to the frame 17 about its vertical central axis 21 by means of an actuating element not shown in the figures, ie the central axis 21 forms the pivot axis of the cutting plane of the blade 19.
  • the plan view Fig. 2 shows how the blade 19 is pivoted out of the frame 17 by a pivot angle 23.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 also show a substantially cuboid Käseriegel 25, of which already a wedge-shaped piece 27 has been cut off and the remaining rest on the top of the inlet belt 13 rests.
  • the wedge-shaped piece 27 already cut off from the cheese bar 25 lies on the upper side of the outlet conveyor 15.
  • the plan view is closed in the top view Fig. 2 the blade 19 each side facing both the cheese bar 25 and the cheese piece 27 with the extension plane of the frame 17, the pivot angle 23 a.
  • the cuboid Käseriegel 25 is aligned with respect to the transport direction A and centered with respect to the pivot axis 21 of the blade 19. In order to enable a weight-accurate cutting into pieces 27, also its length in the transport direction A and its total weight are determined. Subsequently, while the frame 17 together with the blade 19 is in an upper position, the cheese bar 25 is moved in the transport direction A in such a way that its front section projects beyond the feed line 29 below the blade 19 through the frame 17 with respect to the transport direction A.
  • the first wedge-shaped cheese piece 27 is cut off from the cheese bar 25.
  • This piece of cheese 27 is transported by means of the outlet conveyor 15 in the transport direction A.
  • the thus achieved state corresponds to that in the Fig. 1 and 2 shown position of the blade 19, the cheese crucible 25 and the cheese piece 27th
  • the frame 17 is moved together with the pivoted blade 19 in the vertical direction B upwards so that the underside of the blade 19 is located above the top of the cheese press 25.
  • the cheese bar 25 is moved by means of the infeed conveyor 13 by a further feed distance 29 in the transport direction A, so that its front portion in turn protrudes below the blade 19 by the distance 29 in the frame 17.
  • the blade 19 is pivoted about the negative pivot angle 23 back to its normal position. It thus extends within the plane of extension of the frame 17.
  • the thus achieved position of the cheese bar 25, the frame 17 and the blade 19 is in a schematic plan view in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the newly cut piece is then transported by means of the outlet belt 15 in the transport direction A, and the frame 17 together with the blade 19 is moved back up.
  • the blade 19 can now be pivoted again about the pivot angle 23 and guided through the cheese bar 25.
  • the entire cheese crucible 25 can be cut into wedge-shaped cheese pieces 27 according to a cutting pattern, as shown in FIG Fig. 4 is shown in a schematic plan view for the reassembled from the cheese pieces 27 Käseriegel 25.
  • Each piece 27 has in plan view the outline of a trapezoid with two right angles 31. Two adjacent, apart by means of pivoted blade 19 pieces 27 complement each other to a rectangular outline.
  • the in Fig. 4 shown Käseriegel 25 and accordingly the pieces 27 have perpendicular to the transport direction A, the width 33 and along the transport direction A with respect to this width 33, the longitudinal center axis 35.
  • the cheese lock 25 is centered before cutting it, it moves in the in the Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated device with its longitudinal center axis 35 through the central axis 21 of the blade 19, ie by the pivot axis. This makes it possible for the cutting of each wedge-shaped pieces 27 of equal size - regardless of the respective pivot position of the blade 19 - to move the cheese bar 25 in each case by substantially the same feed distance 29 in the transport direction A.
  • the invention thus advantageously makes it possible to cut a rectangular cheese bar 25 into wedge-shaped pieces 27. Since the cutting of these pieces 27 from the cheese bar 25 is effected one after the other, the cheese bar 25 can be cut to the weight. In particular, it is possible to cut the bar 25 into a predetermined number of pieces 27 each of the same weight. Since the cheese bar 25 is guided with its longitudinal center axis 35 through the pivot axis serving as the central axis 21 of the blade 19, the bolt 25 can be moved in this case by the same feed distance 29.
  • a pivot axis 37 of the blade 19 laterally offset with respect to the transport direction A to the base surface on which the cheese jaw 25 rests.
  • the pivot axis 37 extends, for example, substantially along a side strut of the frame 17th Fig. 6 shows one of the representation according to Fig. 2 corresponding schematic plan view of a frame 17 with such hinged along a lateral pivot axis 37 blade 19.
  • the cutting means can on the one hand simplify the attachment of an actuating element for pivoting the blade 19, while on the other hand for each equal wedge-shaped pieces 27 of Käseriegel 25 each different feed distances must be moved.
