Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass bei konstruktiver Einfachheit und Bedienfreundlichkeit eine optimale Anpassung der Schneidgeometrie an die hinsichtlich ihrer Abmessungen unterschiedlichen Produkte ermöglicht wird, und zwar bei optimaler Eintauchtiefe des Messers in das jeweils aufzuschneidende Produkt.Object of the present invention is to improve a device of the type specified in that with a constructive simplicity and ease of use optimal adaptation of the cutting geometry to the different dimensions in terms of their products is possible, with optimal immersion depth of the knife in the product aufzuschneidende each ,

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a device according to claim 1.

Durch die schwenkbare Lagerung der Antriebseinheit und damit des Messers und die gleichzeitig gegebene Möglichkeit der Verstellung des Schwenkpunktes ist es möglich, das Messer in x- und y-Richtung in der Schneidebene praktisch an jeden gewünschten Punkt zu verfahren und die Antriebseinheit nach erfolgter Verstellung jeweils so zu fixieren, dass ein optimales Zusammenwirken zwischen Messer und Gegenmesser für beliebige aufzuschneidende Produkte erreicht wird.Due to the pivotable mounting of the drive unit and thus of the knife and the simultaneous possibility of adjusting the pivot point, it is possible to move the knife in the x and y direction in the cutting plane practically to any desired point and the drive unit after adjustment in each case so to fix, that an optimal interaction between knife and counter knife for any aufzuschneidende products is achieved.

Die Verstellung der Schwenkachse kann über eine Hebelanordnung oder über eine Schiebeführung erfolgen, wobei es von Vorteil ist, dass die entsprechenden Betätigungsorgane bedienerseitig vorgesehen werden können, so dass eine bedienerfreundliche und schnelle Einstellung der Relativlage von Messer und Gegenmesser möglich ist.The adjustment of the pivot axis can take place via a lever arrangement or via a sliding guide, it being advantageous that the corresponding actuators can be provided on the operator side, so that a user-friendly and rapid adjustment of the relative position of the knife and counter knife is possible.

Der stets benötigte Seitenanschlag in der Produktzuführeinheit, der auf der vom jeweiligen Bediener abgewandten Seite gelegen ist, muss nicht immer in Abhängigkeit vom jeweiligen Produkt verstellt werden, da durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen der tiefste Schneidpunkt des Messers über die Auflagenbreite bzw. über die Gegenmesserbreite verstellbar ist.The always required side stop in the product feed unit, which is located on the side facing away from the respective user, does not always have to be adjusted depending on the respective product, since the measures of the invention, the lowest cutting point of the knife over the run width and the counter blade width is adjustable ,

Ferner ist von Vorteil, daß aufgrund der ortsfesten bzw. feststehenden Produktauflage alle auf die Schneideinheit folgenden Aufnahme- und Transportbänder ebenfalls ortsfest angeordnet sein können und nicht in Abhängigkeit von Verstellungen der Produktauflage entsprechend verstellt werden müssen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that due to the stationary or fixed product support all following the cutting unit receiving and conveyor belts can also be arranged stationary and do not need to be adjusted accordingly depending on adjustments of the product support.

Weitere Einzelheiten und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und werden in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung erläutert; in der Zeichnung zeigt:

die Vorrichtung nach Figur 1 in zwei weiteren, aus einer Vielzahl möglicher Arbeitsstellungen ausgewählten Arbeitsstellungen.
Further details and advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the subclaims and are explained in the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing; in the drawing shows:
FIG. 1
a schematic schematic diagram of a device according to the invention for cutting food products in a first working position, and
FIGS. 2 and 3
the device after FIG. 1 in two other working positions selected from a variety of possible positions.

Die Vorrichtung nach Figur 1 umfaßt eine Produktzuführeinheit 1 mit einer Produktauflagefläche, der eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Produkthalte- und Vorschubanordnung zugeordnet ist. Auf der vom Bediener abgewandten Seite der Produktauflage ist ein Seitenanschlag 9 für das jeweilige Produkt vorgesehen, um die von den jeweiligen Schnitten herrührenden Kräfte aufzunehmen.The device after FIG. 1 comprises a product supply unit 1 with a product support surface, which is associated with a not shown in the drawing product holding and feed arrangement. On the side facing away from the operator of the product support a side stop 9 is provided for the respective product to absorb the forces resulting from the respective cuts.

Die Produktzuführeinheit 1 weist endseitig eine als Gegenmesser wirkende Schneidkante 2 auf, welche die Schneidebene festlegt, in der ein von einer Antriebseinheit 3 getragenes Messer 4 umläuft.The product feed unit 1 has at its end a cutting edge 2 which acts as a counter knife and defines the cutting plane in which a knife 4 carried by a drive unit 3 rotates.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist als Messer 4 ein planetarisch umlaufendes Kreismesser vorgesehen, so daß sich für die Messerschneidkante 1 eine Umlaufbahn 5 ergibt.In the illustrated embodiment, a planetary encircling circular blade is provided as a knife 4, so that there is an orbit 5 for the knife cutting edge 1.

Die Antriebseinheit 3 und damit auch das Messer 4 ist um eine Achse 6 schwenk- und feststellbar. Aufgrund dieser Schwenkbarkeit ist der jeweils tiefste Schneidpunkt des Messers - definiert durch die Umlaufbahn 5 - relativ zur Schneidkante 2 einstellbar, wobei jedoch aufgrund des Verschwenkens des Zentrums der Umlaufbahn 5 auf einer Kreisbahn bei einer solchen Verstellung der tiefste Schneidpunkt des Messers relativ zur Schneidkante etwas horizontal wandert.The drive unit 3 and thus also the knife 4 is pivotable about an axis 6 and lockable. Due to this pivoting of the respective deepest cutting point of the blade - defined by the orbit 5 - relative to the cutting edge 2 adjustable, but due to the pivoting of the center of the orbit 5 on a circular path at such an adjustment of the lowest cutting point of the knife relative to the cutting edge slightly horizontal emigrated.

Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, zu erreichen, daß die bisher in Abhängigkeit von den jeweils aufzuschneidenden Produkten erforderliche Verstellung des Seitenanschlags 9 beseitigt wird. Zu diesem Zweck und zur gleichzeitigen Kompensation einer sich durch die Verschwenkung der Antriebseinheit 3 ergebenden seitlichen Verlagerung des tiefsten Schneidpunkts ist die Schwenkachse 6 der Antriebseinheit 3 in x- und y-Richtung verstellbar ausgebildet, so daß durch das kombinatorische Zusammenwirken dieser Verstellbarkeit und der Verschwenkbarkeit der Antriebseinheit hinsichtlich des tiefsten Schneidpunkts des Messers jede beliebige Position und damit auch die jeweils optimale Position produktabhängig angefahren werden kann. Durch diese Möglichkeit der Verstellung des tiefsten Schneidpunkt des Messers über die Auflagen- bzw. Schneidkantenbreite können Produkte beliebiger Größe und Querschnittsform bei ortsfestem Seitenanschlag stets korrekt und vollständig durchschnitten werden, und zwar bei optimaler Eintauchtiefe des Messers in das jeweils aufzuschneidende Produkt.An essential aspect of the present invention is to achieve that the adjustment of the side stop 9, which was previously required as a function of the products to be sliced, is eliminated. For this purpose and for the simultaneous compensation of a resulting by the pivoting of the drive unit 3 lateral displacement of the deepest cutting point, the pivot axis 6 of the drive unit 3 in the x and y directions is adjustable, so that the combinatorial interaction of this adjustability and the pivotability of Drive unit with respect to the lowest cutting point of the knife any position and thus the optimal position can be approached depending on the product. By this possibility of adjustment of the deepest cutting point of the knife over the circulation or cutting edge width products of any size and cross-sectional shape can always be cut correctly and completely with fixed side stop, with optimal immersion depth of the knife in the product aufzuschneidende.

Die Verstellung der Schwenkachse 6 in x- und y-Richtung kann durch entsprechende Schiebeführungen oder über eine Traghebeleinheit 7 erfolgen, wie es in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt ist.The adjustment of the pivot axis 6 in the x and y direction can be done by appropriate sliding guides or a support lever unit 7, as shown schematically in the drawing.

Die Traghebeleinheit 7 umfaßt eine im Maschinengestell 12 vorgesehene, ein Drehgelenk für die Traghebel bildende Achse 8. Im gegenüberliegenden Endbereich der Traghebeleinheit 7 ist die Schwenkachse 6 vorgesehen, um die die Antriebseinheit 3 und damit das Messer 4 verschwenkbar ist. Über geeignet ausgebildete Organe 10, 11, die bedienerseitig gelegen sind, kann die Höhen- und Seiteneinstellung der Schneidkantenbahn 5 erfolgen. Diese Einstellung kann auch über eine elektronische Steuerung und entsprechende Stellmotoren erfolgen, wobei Höhen- und Seiteneinstellung programmgesteuert koppelbar sein können.The support lever unit 7 comprises a provided in the machine frame 12, a rotary joint for the support lever forming axis 8. In the opposite end of the support lever unit 7, the pivot axis 6 is provided, about which the drive unit 3 and thus the knife 4 is pivotable. About appropriately trained organs 10, 11, which are located on the operator side, the height and lateral adjustment of the cutting edge web 5 can be done. This setting can also be done via an electronic control and corresponding actuators, height and side adjustment can be programmatically coupled.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen zwei mögliche Beispiele der Verstellung des Messers 4 und der dadurch bedingten Veränderung der Messerschneidbahn 5.The Figures 2 and 3 show two possible examples of the adjustment of the blade 4 and the consequent change of the knife cutting path. 5

Nach Figur 2 ist die Messerschneidbahn 5 bezüglich des Gegenmessers bzw. der Schneidkante 2 durch Verschwenken der Antriebseinheit 3 um die Achse 6 und Verschwenken der Traghebeleinheit 7 um die Achse 8 sowohl in Y- als auch in X-Richtung derart verstellt worden, daß der tiefste Punkt der Messerschneidbahn 5 unter geringer Absenkung in Y-Richtung in X-Richtung näher an den feststehenden Seitenanschlag 9 verlagert wurde.To FIG. 2 the knife cutting path 5 with respect to the counter knife or the cutting edge 2 by pivoting the drive unit 3 about the axis 6 and pivoting the support lever unit 7 about the axis 8 in both the Y and X-direction has been adjusted such that the lowest point of the knife cutting path 5 was shifted closer to the fixed side stop 9 with little lowering in the Y direction in the X direction.

Bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten Einstellposition ist die Antriebseinheit 3 durch Verstellung in Y-Richtung um die Achse 6 geschwenkt worden, wodurch die Eintauchtiefe des Messers 4 bezüglich der Schneidkante 2 geringer wird. Alle Einstellungen erfolgen über die Organe 10, 11 zur Höheneinstellung und Seiteneinstellung, die bedienerseitig gelegen sind und es ermöglichen, mit den tiefsten Punkt der Messerschneidbahn 5 jeden gewünschten Punkt in der X-Y-Ebene anzufahren und nach Erreichen der jeweiligen Einstellung die Messerschneidbahn 5 entsprechend festzulegen.At the in FIG. 3 shown setting position, the drive unit 3 has been pivoted by adjustment in the Y direction about the axis 6, whereby the immersion depth of the blade 4 with respect to the cutting edge 2 is lower. All adjustments are made via the height adjustment and side adjustment members 10, 11 which are located on the operator side and allow the lowest point of the knife cutting path 5 to approach any desired point in the XY plane and to set the knife cutting path 5 accordingly after reaching the respective setting.
