Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for slicing food products such as ham, sausage, cheese and the like.
  • a product which is to be cut open is fed to a product to be sliced in a conveying direction, and slices are separated from the product by means of the cutting knife.
  • the portions should not only have an appealing appearance. It is also necessary for the portions to maintain a given total weight within relatively close tolerances. In particular underfills are to be avoided due to legal regulations. It may also be necessary to achieve a predetermined total weight with a number of product slices, which are likewise predetermined either exactly or within narrow limits. Further is it is possible that every single product slice has a given total weight.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the slicing of food products in terms of higher versatility and greater flexibility and in particular to achieve the highest possible accuracy in the production of weight-constant portions or slices.
  • both the external shape of the product and the internal structure of the product are determined and taken into account in the product feed.
  • the slicing device is characterized in that Measuring devices for determining both the outer shape of the product and the internal structure of the product are provided and evaluation and control devices are used, the feed device with which a product to be cut is fed to the cutting blade in a conveying direction, depending on the determined by means of the measuring devices operate outside shape and internal structure of the product.
  • the invention is therefore based on the idea of combining information about the outer shape or outer contour of the product on the one hand and information about the product inner structure on the other hand for controlling the product feed.
  • the product is not only analyzed either only in terms of its external shape or its internal structure, but complete product detection occurs insofar as the product is effectively "viewed” both externally and internally, and the product delivery appropriately controlled, i.e. , H. the slicing process is controlled accordingly dynamically.
  • the procedure according to the invention may be to calculate the weight of a product wafer relative to a specific wafer thickness from the external shape and the internal structure of the product and to control the product supply in such a way that (i) the product slices to be separated each have a predetermined wafer weight, or ii) that portions of several product slices each have a predetermined total weight.
  • a concrete possibility for determining the product contour is the so-called light-slit method, in which the outer contour is measured continuously or intermittently in a measuring plane, in particular perpendicular to the conveying direction, through which the product is passed, in particular immediately before the slicing process.
  • a measuring device can be provided which comprises at least one radiation source, for example a laser, with which a line can be projected onto the product, and a radiation detector, in particular in the form of a video camera.
  • the outer contour of the product can be determined from the images of the line projected on the product by means of the radiation detector, by basically known methods for image processing.
  • the evaluation devices Since the location at which the product contour is determined with respect to the cutting plane of the cutting blade is known, the evaluation devices have all the information required to determine the point in time at which the product region measured with respect to the contour reaches the cutting plane, so that's an exact, sort of time-delayed control of the product supply on the basis of the previously determined product contour data can be done.
  • product start sensors which are arranged both in the region of the measuring point and in the region of the cutting plane and designed to detect the product beginning which precedes in the conveying direction, which then determines the correct timing ensuring a correct timing forms for the evaluation and control devices.
  • the video camera can be associated with lighting devices for illuminating the cut surfaces or the product environment in the area of the cut surfaces, which ensure optimum contrasting of the cut surfaces with the environment, for example by using different wavelengths or other illumination parameters.
  • An alternative or additional possibility for determining the outer shape of the product consists in detecting the cut surface of a product slice to be separated and the product environment in the region of this cut surface by means of an optoelectronic detection device, in particular a video camera, and by distinguishing between cut surface and product environment the outline of the relevant product slice to determine.
