Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for cutting food into slices, strips or cubes, with a feed region from which the food is conveyed by means of a feed device to a cutting device, the at least one linearly oscillating movable knife gate having a plurality of elongated, parallel with Having spaced apart gate knives, wherein the at least one knife gate has a gate frame for clamping the gate blade and a holding frame for releasably connecting the knife gate with the feed of the machine and wherein the gate frame is slidingly mounted with sliding rods in bearing bores in the holding frame.
  • Such cutting machines are for example from the publications DE 1247572 B and DE 29823832 U1 known. Often, such machines are designed as so-called dicing machines in which strand-shaped or present in the form of large pieces food in an elongated, the feed area forming insertion, a so-called magazine, are inserted. With the aid of a hydraulically driven extrusion punch of a feed device, the material to be cut is fed through an exit cross section of the feed region onto the cutting device.
  • the cutting device consists of a first knife gate (subgrid), which initially cuts slices from the food.
  • top gate By means of a subgatter downstream second knife gate (top gate), whose gate blades are perpendicular to the gate blades of the subgatter, are cut from the slices of strips, typically with a square cross-section. Finally, located in the plane of the backs of the gate blade of the upper gate a rotating cutting blade, with the successive cube or cuboid are cut from the emerging from the upper gate food strip.
  • the slide bars of the gate frame made of stainless steel and are guided in bushings, which are arranged in the bearing bores in the respectively associated holding frame.
  • the bushings are pressed into the bearing bores to ensure sufficient fixation in the axial direction.
  • the bushings typically made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to obtain a low-friction and low-wear friction pairing.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a machine for cutting food with at least one Gattermesser to the effect that the exchange of worn bushings is significantly improved against new, in order in this way also health-safe materials for the bushings ⁇ with the result of shortened change intervals ⁇ to use.
  • each slide bar is at least partially formed by at least one arranged bushing that in the oscillating movement of the slide rods only their bushings with the respective inner circumferential surface of the bearing bores Holding frame come into contact.
  • the bearing material which is characterized by its special sliding properties, no longer used to order the inner surface of the To form bearing bore in the support frame. Rather, the bearing bore can now have a simple metallic jacket surface and be formed by the base material of the holding frame, which is typically made of stainless steel.
  • the outer surface of the slide bar is provided with the bearing material possessing the special sliding properties. So that when a wear limit of this material in a simple manner replacement can be carried out with further use of the slide bar itself, at least one bearing bush is pushed onto the slide bar, which forms the outer surface of the slide bar. This outer circumferential surface slidably cooperates with the inner (metallic) lateral surface of the bearing bore of the holding frame.
  • the slide bar over its entire (free) length with a single or more directly abutting bushing (s).
  • a single or more directly abutting bushing to avoid deformations too long bushings, however, it will be sin n-full in most cases, provide two spatially spaced bearing bushes and to determine their position and length so that in the oscillating movement of the sliding rods only the bearing bushes (and not the remaining possibly metallic portions of the slide bar) come into contact with the respective lateral surfaces of the bearing bores of the holding frame.
  • the minimum length of a bearing bush corresponds to the principle of the invention "outer sleeve" thus the sum of the axial length of the bearing bore in the holding frame and the stroke of the gate movement. In practice, the aforementioned minimum length will be slightly exceeded for safety reasons.
  • the "outer bushes" according to the invention can namely simply in axial Toward the sliding bar, which forms a typically metallic core in this area, be postponed. In this case, it is not necessary to produce a press fit which can be accomplished only with the aid of special tools, but typically a transition fit is selected between the inner diameter of the bearing bush and the outer diameter of the sliding rod section there, so that a slight clearance fit or a slight interference fit results in practice. which should allow a simple and tool-free removal of the bearing bush in any case.
  • the bearing bush can be removed by means of a pair of pliers or cut by a knife in the axial direction and then removed from the slide bar. Nevertheless, if a solid press fit is desired and replacement is required, it can be quickly and easily use a new slide with already finished pressed bushing, and the old slide can be provided in the meantime in a workshop with the required tool with a new bushing , This significantly reduces the time in which the cutting machine stands still due to the replacement of the bearing bushes.
  • the machine in which the idea according to the invention is realized, it may be one with only one knife gate, but preferably one with two knife gates (top gate and sub-gate), so that the advantage of easy replacement due to the then usually needed eight bushings is particularly large.
  • the upper gate is followed by a cut-off knife, which is rotatable in a plane perpendicular to a feed direction and parallel to a plane of the knife gate in order to produce cutting cube.
  • each gate frame on two sliding rods each with its end portions positively on the one hand in a drive traverse of the gate frame, which is frictionally coupled with an eccentric of a drive shaft of the machine, and on the other hand can be used in a tension traverse, which can be braced with a tensionable by means of bolts clamping block for bracing the gate blade is provided in the gate frame.
  • the insertion of the end portions of the slide rods in the respective cross member of the gate frame should be done with a slight clearance fit to easily disassemble the gate frame for the purpose of replacing the bearing bushes.
  • each slide bar has a middle section, to which a seat section adjoins at both ends of the slide bar whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the central section, wherein the outer diameter of the seat section corresponds to the inner diameter of the bearing bushes.
  • each seat portion may adjoin each seat portion to the respectively associated end of the slide bar out a fixing, whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the seat portion, wherein the outer diameter of the fixing portion of the inner diameter of a fixing sleeve corresponds, which is supported with one end face on a facing end face of the bearing bush and with the other end face on the drive traverse or the tension traverse.
  • the radial clearance can be dimensioned somewhat larger in the region of the fixing sleeves than in the region of the bearing bush, since the latter also have to transmit radial forces as far as possible without deformation to the core of the sliding rod.
  • the Fixierhülsen itself need not be secured by a separate component against axial displacement, but it is particularly advantageous to fix both bushings and both Fixierhülsen during clamping of the knife by the then strained braces.
  • the outer diameter of the central portion of the slide should correspond to the outer diameter of the bearing bush and / or the outer diameter of the fixing sleeve.
  • the bushings should be made of a harmless plastic material, in particular polypropylene (PP) or polyoxymethylene (POM), or from a metal sleeve with a coating of a silicon Carbide ceramic (SiC ceramic) to be made.
  • PP polypropylene
  • POM polyoxymethylene
  • SiC ceramic silicon Carbide ceramic
  • a not shown, but in terms of its basic structure known dicing machine is in the region of an outlet cross section of a magazine for filling with the food to be cut with a first knife gate 1 (subgatter) and a second knife gate 2 (top gate), in the Figures 1 and 2 are shown in perspective, equipped.

  • FIG. 3 and 4 are each plan views of the knife gate 1 according to FIG. 1 and on the knife gate 2 according to FIG. 2 shown.
  • a gate frame 6, sit in the gate blade 5 for cutting food, is mounted on two sliding rods 8 movable on the respective, attached via the holes 3 and 4 pockets on the magazine outlet opening holding frame 7.
  • the gate frame 6 consists of the mentioned two slide rods 8, located at one end of the gate frame 6 drive crossmember 12 and sitting on the drive crossmember 12 end of the gate frame 6 Spanntraverse 13. Between the drive crossmember 12 and the crossbeam 13, the gate blade 5 are taut clamped to prevent lateral movements of the individual gate blade 5 as possible and thereby ensure clean cuts.
  • Feeding are the gate blade 5 with its one end in the drive traverse 12, with the other end in a clamping block 14 which is fastened with bolts 18 on the tensioning beam 13 and with the over the bolts 18, the gate blade 5 are braced.
  • the drive crossmember 12 also has a hook-shaped receptacle 17, to which an eccentric pin of a drive shaft of the cutting machine can be frictionally coupled for the cutting movement of the gate frame 6.
  • a detailed, enlarged view of the existing stainless steel sliding rods 8 is in each case in a section through the knife gate 1 along the line V ⁇ V in FIG. 3 and in a section through the knife gate 2 along the line VII ⁇ VII in FIG. 4 in the Figures 5 and 7 shown.

  • the outer diameter of the central portion 15 corresponds to the outer diameter of bearing bushes 10, which are pushed onto the two adjacent to the central portion 15 seat portions 19.
  • the seat sections 19 must therefore have a reduced by twice the wall thickness of the bearing bushes 10 outer diameter.
  • the bushings 10 should consist of a low-friction material, but because of the possibly occurring during operation of the cutting machine material abrasion should be harmless to health. In question, for example, the partially crystalline thermoplastics polypropylene (PP) or in particular polyoxymethylene (POM) would come.
  • PP is characterized as a material for the bushings 10 in that it is chemically resistant to almost all polar organic solvents, with respect to alcohols, oils and fats as well as acids and alkalis with good sliding properties and physiological safety.
  • POM on the other hand, has a high hardness and a very low coefficient of friction over a wide temperature range, in addition to a similar chemical resistance to the chemicals mentioned above. In addition, it has an extremely good dimensional stability, making it predestined for use as a material for moving precision parts. For cleaning of cutting machines, water is used at very high temperatures due to the pollution caused by the fats occurring in the food to ensure the required hygiene. Due to the great dimensional stability of POM over a long period of time at temperatures up to 110 ° C or for a short time up to 150 ° C, this plastic is ideal as a material for the bearing bushes 10 of the slide rods. 8
  • the bearing bushes 10 As an alternative to plastic as a socket material, it is also possible to produce the bearing bushes 10 from a metal sleeve with a coating of, for example, a silicon carbide ceramic (SiC ceramic). SiC ceramics are known for their high abrasion resistance and are often used in industry for plain bearings. It also has a high resistance to organic solvents and strong acids and is physiologically harmless.
