Definitions

  • the cheese blocks to be divided into cheese bars have lateral bulges and / or top-side bulges, which may arise, for example, during storage of the cheese blocks, wherein the above-mentioned deformations can be caused or reinforced in particular by a space-saving stacking of several cheese blocks.
  • This has the consequence that the cross-sectional areas of the different, simultaneously produced from a block of cheese Cheese bars in perpendicular to the feed direction extending planes have a different shape and / or size.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a method of the type mentioned in such a way that the above-described disadvantage is avoidable.
  • this object is achieved by a method in which the food product is moved along a feed direction relative to at least one elongate cutting element, by the features of claim 1.
  • the invention is characterized in that the cutting element can be adjusted in addition to the relative movement between the food product and the cutting element, wherein the adjustment can be made in two opposite directions, which are each oriented perpendicular to the feed direction and perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the cutting element.
  • the cutting element can be positioned in such a way that jointly cut bars in the direction perpendicular to the feed direction, the cutting element comprehensive level have the same sectional area.
  • a significant advantage of the invention is that the additional adjustment movement can be carried out in particular during the cutting of the food product.
  • the due to the bulges and / or bulges on the length extending in the feed direction extending cross-section of the food product can be compensated by continuous Nachfahren the cutting element to the effect that the jointly cut bars in planes perpendicular to the feed direction respectively equal cross-sectional areas but in particular different contours exhibit
  • Cutting elements are independently adjustable. This makes it possible, for example, that the cutting elements can be adjusted with mutually different pitches, so that even food products that have unbalanced bulges and / or bulges can be cut into bars with equal cross-sectional areas.
  • the can Cutting elements are adjusted in the same direction or in opposite directions.
  • scanning means are provided for the at least partial measurement of the not yet cut part of the food product before and / or during cutting.
  • the adjusting movements of the cutting element can be controllable in dependence on signals supplied by the scanning means and on the feed speed. In this way, on the one hand, the food product can be measured with sufficient accuracy and, on the other hand, a correct dimensioning of the adjusting movements of the cutting element can be ensured.
  • the scanning means are arranged substantially immediately in front of the cutting element, as this also changes of the shape of the food product can be considered, which during the division of the food product into bars, in particular by pushing the food product against the resistance of the cutting element , revealed.
  • the scanning means may comprise a plurality of measuring systems, so that at the same time several pages of the food product can be detected and measured by the scanning means.
  • the food product can be measured from at least three sides, the food product rests with its fourth, in particular substantially flat side on the transport device. At a belt transition of the transport device, however, the food product can also be measured on its lower side.
  • the measuring systems can be designed as optical sensors, in particular laser sensors, laser scanners or line scan cameras.
  • the contours of cross-sectional areas of the food product perpendicular to the feed direction can be measured completely or only in sections. From the respective contour of the food product not yet cut at the measuring position, it is possible to determine the position of the cutting element which is to assume this position when the respective contour is in the sectional plane extending perpendicularly to the feed direction.
  • the measurement of the contours along the food product takes place in discrete steps, wherein the step size may for example be between 0.5 mm and 10 mm.
  • the cutting element can be arranged vertically or horizontally.
  • the cutting element may be formed as a cutting wire, so that it is ensured in the case of cheese blocks that the cheese bars does not adhere to the cutting surface of the cutting element.
  • the one or more cutting wires may be arranged in one or more cutting wire holders, in particular tensioning frames.
  • the cutting element may additionally be movable in a plane extending in the longitudinal extent of the cutting element and / or parallel to the feed direction.
  • the cutting element can be moved up and down along its longitudinal extension, formed oscillatingly circumferentially and / or about a direction of rotation directed perpendicular to the feed direction and perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the cutting elements be rotatable.
  • the force required for the penetration of the cutting element into the food product can be reduced, so that the food product can be cut uniformly and in a straight line.
  • two laser sensors 22 are provided which, with respect to the feed direction 20 are arranged laterally of the cheese block 18 and immediately in front of the cutting wires 12.
  • the scanning beams 24 of the laser sensors 22 are each directed to the cheese block 18 so that it can be measured from at least two directions, wherein the measurement of the cheese block 18 before and during the cutting can be performed.
  • the cutting wires 12 are adjustable by means of an adjusting device, not shown, perpendicular to the feed direction 20 and perpendicular to its vertically directed longitudinal extent.
  • the two possible adjustment directions 26 of the cutting wires 12 are indicated by a double arrow.
  • the two cutting wires 12 are independently adjustable.
  • the adjustment movements of the cutting wires 12 are controllable in response to signals that can be calculated from the survey data of the laser sensors 22 as a function of the feed rate and the distance between the measurement plane of the laser sensors 22 and the cutting wires 12.
  • guide means for example linear centerings, can be provided, which are not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, however.
  • the cheese block 18 is pushed in the direction of the cutting wires 12 by means of the conveyor belt 16, the piston 17 and possibly further pushing elements (not shown).
  • the cheese block 18 is scanned by means of the laser sensors 22 from the two lateral directions shown in FIG. 1, wherein the contours 28 of cross-sectional surfaces of the cheese block 18 perpendicular to the feed direction 20 only partially, so for example not measured from above.
  • the measurement of the contours 28 along the block of cheese 18 takes place in discrete steps.
  • the two laser sensors 22 are located above the plane defined by the upper side of the cheese block 18 and the laser sensors 22 can scan not only horizontally but in a scanning plane perpendicular to the feed direction 20, then the contour 28 on the upper side can be seen to the left in the feed direction 20 and right side of the cheese block 18 are measured.
  • a third laser sensor or a plurality of laser sensors which scan the upper side of the cheese block 18.
  • the block of cheese 18 When the block of cheese 18 reaches the cutting elements 12, it is pressed through the latter and cut into three cheese trays 30, 32, 34 extending in the feed direction 20 (FIG. 2).
  • the cutting elements 12 are thereby adjusted during the cutting of the cheese block 18 such that in perpendicular to the feed direction 20 extending levels of the bars 30, 32, 34 of the cheese block 18 each have the same size cross-sectional areas A1, A2, A3, in particular in their respective contours of each other differ.
  • the two cutting wires 12 are moved towards the center of the cheese block 18 toward each other.
  • the adjustment movements of the cutting elements 12 are controlled as a function of the contours 28 of the cross-sectional areas of the cheese block 18 previously measured by means of the laser sensors 22. Without the adjustment movements according to the invention, the cutting wires 12 would cut the cheese block 18 in a straight line, which would disadvantageously result in the cross-sectional areas A1, A2, A3 due to the lateral bulges of the cheese block 18 would be different from each other.
