Description

Vorrichtung zum Aufschneiden von Lebensmittelprodukten Device for slicing food products
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aufschneiden von Lebensmittelprodukten, wie Schinken, Wurst, Käse und dergleichen, mit einem rotierend angetriebenen und/ oder planetarisch umlaufenden Schneidmesser, dessen Schneidebene senkrecht zu einer Produktauflagefläche einer Produktzuführeinrichtung verläuft, wobei das schneidmesserseitige Ende der Produktauflagefläche von einem Schneidkanten teil gebildet ist, das zusammen mit dem Schneidmesser einen Schneidspalt bildet.The invention relates to a device for slicing food products, such as ham, sausage, cheese and the like, with a rotatingly driven and / or planetary rotating cutting knife, the cutting plane of which is perpendicular to a product support surface of a product feed device, the end of the product support surface on the cutting knife part of a cutting edge is formed, which forms a cutting gap together with the cutting knife.
Von derartigen Vorrichtungen, die üblicherweise auch als Slicer bezeichnet werden und mit sehr hohen Schnittgeschwindigkeiten arbeiten, wer- den auch bei diesen sehr hohen Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten und insbesondere auch schwieriger aufzuschneidenden Produkten saubere und einwandfreie Schnitte gefordert.Devices of this type, which are usually also referred to as slicers and work at very high cutting speeds, require clean and flawless cuts even at these very high working speeds and in particular also more difficult to cut products.
Einfluß auf die Schnittqualität hat insbesondere die Güte bzw. Genauig- keit des zwischen der Auflagefläche für das jeweils zugeführte Produkt und dem sowohl um die eigene Achse rotierenden als' auch planetarisch umlaufenden Schneidmesser ausgebildeten Schneidspalts.Influential on the cutting quality has, in particular the quality or accuracy of the formed between the bearing surface for the respectively fed product and the rotating both around its own axis as' also planetary rotating cutting blade cutting gap.
Beeinträchtigt wird in der Praxis die Güte bzw. Genauigkeit des Schneid- spalts vor allem durch Tiefenabweichungen des Schneidmessers, die fertigungsbedingt sind und durchaus dazu führen können, daß sich Abweichungen bezüglich der Soll-Schneidspaltgröße ergeben, wobei die Soll- Schneidspaltgröße im Idealfall Null beträgt. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art in der Weise auszubilden, daß die Schnittqualität verschlechternde Abweichungen vom Soll-Schneidspalt ausgeschaltet werden und somit unabhängig vom jeweils verwendeten Messer und auch unabhängig von den jeweiligen Betriebsbedingungen ein optimaler und konstanter Schneidspalt gewährleistet werden kann.In practice, the quality or accuracy of the cutting gap is impaired above all by depth deviations of the cutting knife, which are production-related and can lead to deviations with respect to the desired cutting gap size, the ideal cutting gap size ideally being zero. The object of the present invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that deviations from the desired cutting gap which degrade the cutting quality are eliminated and thus an optimal and constant cutting gap is ensured regardless of the knife used and also regardless of the respective operating conditions can.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Schneidkantenteil senkrecht zur Schneidebene verschiebbar gelagert und gegen einen Anschlag elastisch vorgespannt ist, und daß der Anschlag derart positioniert und das Schneidkantenteil derart gestaltet ist, daß das Schneidkantenteil bei jedem Messerdurchgang entgegen der anliegenden Vorspannung vom Messer zumindest berührt und insbesondere geringfü- gig gegen die Vorspannung ausgelenkt wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the cutting edge part is slidably mounted perpendicular to the cutting plane and is elastically biased against a stop, and that the stop is positioned and the cutting edge part is designed such that the cutting edge part against the applied bias of the knife with each knife pass at least touched and in particular slightly deflected against the bias.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird das Schneidkantenteil, das zusammen mit dem Schneidmesser den Schneidspalt bildet, bei jedem Messerdurchgang minimal aus seiner Grundposition verdrängt, wobei die Größe dieser Verdrängung im Bereich weniger Zehntelmillimeter gelegen ist.With this configuration, the cutting edge part, which forms the cutting gap together with the cutting knife, is minimally displaced from its basic position with each knife pass, the size of this displacement being in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter.
Um dabei ein problemfreies Zusammenwirken zwischen Schneidmesser und Schneidkantenteil sicherzustellen, ist das Schneidkantenteil im Eintrittsbereich des Schneidmessers mit zumindest einer Führungsfläche ausgestattet, die sicherstellt, daß das Schneidmesser auf einen leicht geneigten Flächenabschnitt des Schneidkantenteils trifft, wodurch störende Reibung und unerwünschter Verschleiß praktisch ausgeschaltet werden. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und werden auch bei der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt:In order to ensure a problem-free interaction between the cutting knife and the cutting edge part, the cutting edge part is equipped in the entry area of the cutting knife with at least one guide surface, which ensures that the cutting knife hits a slightly inclined surface section of the cutting edge part, whereby disturbing friction and undesired wear are practically eliminated. Further advantageous refinements and features of the invention are specified in the subclaims and are also explained in the description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1 in schematischer Weise eine mit einem Schneidmesser zusammenwirkende Produktzuführungseinheit in teilweise geschnittener Seitenansicht, undFig. 1 shows schematically a product feed unit cooperating with a cutting knife in a partially sectioned side view, and
Fig. 2 eine Vorderansicht der Anordnung nach Fig. 1.2 is a front view of the arrangement of FIG .. 1
Die in einem Maschinengehäuse 10 angeordnete Produktzuführungseinheit 1 umfaßt eine Produktauflagefläche 2, längs der das jeweils aufzuschneidende Produkt in Richtung des zwischen dem Messer 4 und dem vorderen Ende der Produktauflagefläche 2 ausgebildeten Schneidspaltes transportiert wird. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Produktauflagefläche 2 drei nebeneinanderliegend angeordnete Aufnahmen für drei gleichzeitig zu schneidende Produkte auf, wie dies in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist.The product feed unit 1 arranged in a machine housing 10 comprises a product support surface 2, along which the product to be cut in each case is transported in the direction of the cutting gap formed between the knife 4 and the front end of the product support surface 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the product support surface 2 has three receptacles arranged side by side for three products to be cut simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 2.
Das vordere Ende der Produktauflagefläche 2 wird - wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt - von einem Schneidkantenteil 3, das vorzugsweise aus geeignetem Kunststoffmaterial besteht, gebildet.The front end of the product support surface 2 - as shown in Fig. 1 - is formed by a cutting edge part 3, which is preferably made of a suitable plastic material.
Das Schneidkantenteil 3 ist in der Produktzuführungseinrichtung 1 senkrecht zur Schneidebene bzw. zur Umlaufbahn des Schneidmessers 4 verschiebbar gelagert, wozu die Produktzuführeinrichtung 1 geeignete Füh- rungsflächen 7 aufweist. In Fig. 2 sind beispielsweise zwei Flugkreise 9 unterschiedlicher Schneidmesser 4 dargestellt.The cutting edge part 3 is mounted in the product feed device 1 so as to be displaceable perpendicular to the cutting plane or to the orbit of the cutting knife 4, for which purpose the product feed device 1 has suitable guides tion surfaces 7. 2 shows two flight circles 9 of different cutting knives 4, for example.
Die Verschiebbarkeit des Schneidkantenteils 3 in Richtung der Schneidebene ist durch einen Anschlag 6 begrenzt, der sicherstellt, daß das Schneidkantenteil 3 maximal nur wenige Zehntelmillimeter in die Schneidbahn des Messers 4 ragen kann. In Richtung der Schneidebene ist das Schneidkantenteil 3 vorgespannt, und zwar durch mindestens ein Federelement 5.The displaceability of the cutting edge part 3 in the direction of the cutting plane is limited by a stop 6, which ensures that the cutting edge part 3 can protrude a maximum of only a few tenths of a millimeter into the cutting path of the knife 4. The cutting edge part 3 is prestressed in the direction of the cutting plane, specifically by at least one spring element 5.
Um sicherzustellen, daß das Schneidkantenteil 3 bei jedem Schnitt, d.h. bei jedem Zusammenwirken mit dem Schneidmesser 4 geringfügig gegen die Federvorspannung verdrängt werden kann, ist das Schneidkantenteil 3 im Bereich des Messereintritts mit einer leicht geneigten Führungsfläche 8 ausgestattet. In der Praxis genügt eine leicht geneigte, kurze Führungsfläche 8, deren oberster Punkt bezüglich der Stirnfläche des Schneidkantenteils beispielsweise um etwa 1 mm zurückversetzt ist und die anschließend in einen vertikalen Verlauf übergeht.To ensure that the cutting edge part 3 with every cut, i.e. each time it interacts with the cutting knife 4 can be displaced slightly against the spring preload, the cutting edge part 3 is equipped with a slightly inclined guide surface 8 in the area of the knife entry. In practice, a slightly inclined, short guide surface 8 is sufficient, the uppermost point of which is set back, for example, by about 1 mm with respect to the end face of the cutting edge part, and which then changes into a vertical course.
Die zur Schaffung der erwähnten Führungsfläche erforderliche leichte Abschrägung eines Teilbereichs der Stirnfläche des Schneidkantenteils 2 führt zu keiner Verschlechterung der Schnittqualität, aber sie ermöglicht einen sicheren Betrieb der Gesamtvorrichtung unter gleichzeitiger Gewährleistung einer absoluten Konstanz des Schneidspalts, denn der Schneidspalt wird bei jedem Schnitt durch das Zusammenwirken desThe slight beveling of a partial area of the end face of the cutting edge part 2 required to create the above-mentioned guide surface does not lead to a deterioration in the quality of the cut, but it enables the overall device to be operated safely while at the same time ensuring an absolute constancy of the cutting gap, because the cutting gap is produced by the interaction with each cut of
Schneidmessers mit dem senkrecht zur Schneidmesserebene verschiebbar gelagerten Schneidkantenteil gebildet und praktisch auf dem Wert Null gehalten. Anstelle der vorstehend beschriebenen passiven Funktion des Schneidkantenteils 3, das durch das Schneidmesser gegen eine elastische Vorspannung senkrecht zur Schneidebene bewegt wird, kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch ein aktiv angesteuertes Schneidkantenteil vorgesehen sein. Die Ansteuerung eines derartigen Schneidkantenteils erfolgt in Abhängigkeit von der Bewegung des Messers und gegebenenfalls auch in Abhängigkeit von Messercharakteristiken. Als Aktuatoren für die Bewegung des Schneidkantenteils kommen beispiels- weise piezoelektrische Elemente oder andere Betätigungsorgane in Betracht, welche ausreichend schnelle und kurzzeitige Bewegungen des Schneidkantenteils über kurze Wege, beispielsweise im Millimeterbereich, gewährleisten. Cutting knife with the cutting edge part slidably mounted perpendicular to the cutting knife plane and practically kept at the value zero. Instead of the passive function of the cutting edge part 3 described above, which is moved by the cutting knife against an elastic pretension perpendicular to the cutting plane, an actively controlled cutting edge part can also be provided according to a further embodiment of the invention. Such a cutting edge part is controlled as a function of the movement of the knife and, if appropriate, also as a function of knife characteristics. Actuators for the movement of the cutting edge part are, for example, piezoelectric elements or other actuating elements which ensure sufficiently rapid and short-term movements of the cutting edge part over short distances, for example in the millimeter range.
