Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel cutting device comprising a vibrating slender cutting element of the vibrating cutting blade type.
  • This vibrating slender cutting element may, as the case may be, comprise a tapered and cutting cutting edge, or comprise an untapered cutting edge capable of cooperating with another element comprising a sharp tapered edge.
  • the cutting device of the invention finds, for example, but not exclusively, its application as a manual cutting tool, particularly in the food industry.
  • a first type of cutting device used for example in the food industry, uses vertical cutting blades, and vibrating means for creating vertical vibrations in the blades.
  • the vibration of the blade is relatively simple because the cutting blade vibrates essentially along a single axis (vertical axis).
  • these cutting devices comprising a vibrating blade along a single vibratory axis, are generally mounted on slicing machines, and are not suitable for producing manual cutting tools, that is to say cutting tools. intended to be handled by a user during the cutting operation.
  • the cutting device comprises a flat surgical cutting blade whose distal portion is curved relative to the central longitudinal axis of the blade, so as to create a functional asymmetry, and vibrating means for creating longitudinal vibrations in the opposite proximal portion of the blade.
  • These longitudinal vibrations propagate towards the curved distal portion, and due to the aforementioned functional asymmetry, allow vibration of the blade distal end transversely in the plane of the blade.
  • the cutting blade also comprises upstream of the aforementioned functional asymmetry, a second asymmetry for creating a pivot point in the blade.
  • This cutting device has at least two disadvantages. On the one hand the mechanical assembly between the flat cutting blade and vibrating means, piezoelectric transducer type, is difficult to achieve. On the other hand, the functional asymmetry at the distal end of the blade adversely complicates the manufacture of the blade.
  • the invention aims to propose a new cutting device comprising an improved vibrating cutting tool, which improves the quality of the vibration of the blade, and thus the quality of the cut, and whose manufacture is simpler only for the cutting device of the international patent application WO2005 / 084264 .
  • This new cutting device can advantageously be used as a manual cutting device; the invention is however not limited to this single application and the cutting device may optionally be adapted to a cutting machine.
  • the invention also has for another object a cutting device comprising a vibrating monobloc cutting tool referred to above and vibrating means.
  • the vibrating means make it possible to create, in the bar of the cutting tool, longitudinal vibrations, which are oriented along the longitudinal axis (A) of the cutting element, and which allow a vibration of the cutting element.
  • a vibrating cutting device 1 made according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • This cutting device 1 has the general shape of a hand knife. It can advantageously be used to manually slice any type of material, and may especially, but not exclusively, be used for manual cutting of food products.
  • the first notch 104 is constituted by a cutout which is made at least partly in the longitudinal cutting edge 103 of the blade 102.
  • this cutout 104 is made over the entire thickness (e) of the blade 102 ( figures 3 and 4 ), and has a U-shaped longitudinal profile of length I 1 [ Figure 1 / profile of the cut in the longitudinal section plane (Y, Z)].
  • Said longitudinal vibrations propagate in the bar 100 in the direction of the blade 102, the tool 10 acting as a resonator.
  • the blade 102 vibrates in its longitudinal section plane (Y, Z), with a vibration movement comprising two vibratory components: a longitudinal component along the Z axis and a transverse component along the axis Y.
