Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for portioning food, in particular meat.
  • Such devices are used to cut food into portions, for example in the form of slices, the same weight and / or thickness.
  • the foods include, for example, fresh meat, sausage, ham, cheese, vegetables or baked goods.
  • Known devices for slicing sausage or cheese are also referred to as slicers. Sausage or cheese differs from freshly grown meat because of its consistency in that the corresponding loaves have a solid shape with a volume determined by the production.
  • the slicers are therefore equipped with a device for holding the loaves during slicing of the slices.
  • pieces of fresh grown meat do not have a solid shape or volume, unless frozen or frozen. For portioning such pieces of meat it is therefore not enough to keep the pieces of meat as in known slicers.
  • Portioning devices therefore have a pressing chamber in which the piece of meat is first compressed. After completion of the pressing process, the volume which fills the piece of meat is known. This is used during the subsequent portioning.
  • Portioning devices for freshly grown meat are used, for example, in commercial kitchens, in the production of compiled and pre-packaged menus and machine packaging of sliced foods. From a piece of fresh, aged meat or another piece of food individual portions, especially quick pieces of meat, such as schnitzel, steaks or medallions are separated. It is important that the individual portions have a predetermined weight and optionally a predetermined thickness. The slices must be portioned as precisely as possible so that they coincide in their cooking time, the individual portions are not too different and the weight can be stated on a preprinted pack.
  • a device for portioning food with an inserting drum having a plurality of pressing chambers and a portioning drum having a plurality of portioning chambers is known.
  • the piece of food is compressed in a pressing chamber by means of a side cover and a press ram and pressed into a portioning chamber.
  • the portion located in the portioning chamber is separated from the piece of meat by means of a knife movable between the pressing chamber and the portioning chamber, and the portion is removed from the portioning chamber.
  • the portioning drum is rotated.
  • another portioning chamber of the portioning drum comes in extension of the pressing chamber.
  • the other Portionierhunt can be filled again with the food. This process is repeated until the entire food is divided into portions.
  • another piece of food can be placed in a second pressing chamber of the inserting drum. If the first piece of food is completely divided into portions, the loading drum is rotated. The portioning can then be continued with the second piece of food. In the now empty pressing chamber can be inserted again a piece of food.
  • the slices in the known device after portioning can not be further processed automatically, for example, broken into cubes or strips or provided with a necessary for Cordonbleu Schnitzel section.
  • the device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that an ejection element is arranged on the Portionierplatte to eject a separated disc from a Portionierhunt.
  • the ejection element is arranged on that side of the portioning plate which faces away from the pressing chamber.
  • the ejection element is provided at the position where the separated slices are deposited on a conveyor or in a container.
  • the ejection element aids in the process of detaching a severed slice from a portioning chamber.
  • a mold or trough is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers.
  • a separated slices from a portioning chamber is pressed into the mold. While the portioning plate is moved to cut off another portion of one piece and to deliver another separated disc, the held in the form of disc remains in position and can optionally be further processed. It can be exploited that the portion is fixed in the mold. This is for the further processing of the portion of advantage, since the portion of the tools or tools used for processing can not escape in the form. In the form, for example, the portion can be cut and / or provided with further ingredients.
  • an ejection element On the portioning plate, an ejection element is arranged which ejects one or more separated portions from the portioning chamber.
  • This is, for example, a stamp that enters the portioning chamber from one side and displaces the portions from the portioning chamber. This speeds up the process of ejecting one or more portions from the portioning chamber.
  • a mold On the side facing away from the ejection element of the portioning plate, a mold is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers.
  • the ejection element ensures that the separated portion is transferred in the form predetermined by the Portionierhunt to an additional form.
  • the further processing or processing of the portion can be done.
  • the mold may be equipped with a plurality of blades for cutting cubes or strips. The portion is thus divided during ejection from the portioning chamber into further small sections. This is done in a single operation without the need for additional stations. Furthermore, during the further processing and processing of the portion, the portioning process can be continued.
  • cutting tools such as knives, blades or blades are arranged in or on the form to cut the portion arranged in the form in strips or cubes or to produce an incised pocket.
  • Ingredients can be filled into the portion, for example, with a schnitzel cordon butter and ham.
  • the cutting tools can either be fixed or movable in or on the mold. For cutting a relative movement between the portion to be cut and the cutting tool is necessary. If the cutting tool is stationarily arranged in or on the mold, the cutting takes place when the portion is introduced into the mold and / or when the portion is removed from the mold. If the cutting tool is arranged movably on the mold, the cutting can also take place during the stay of the portion in the mold.
  • the mold is equipped with a guide for the movable cutting tool. This may, for example, be a slot in the mold.
  • the mold is arranged in spatial distance from the pressing unit. It does not hinder the process of portioning and slicing the individual portions.
  • the deposition of the separated portions in the mold and optionally the further processing of the portion in the mold takes place only when the cutting operation is completed. At the same time as depositing a portion in the mold, another portion of the piece can be cut off at the press unit.
  • the chamber bottom to adjust the depth of the portioning chamber is arranged displaceably. In this way, portions of different thickness can be produced.
  • a collecting container for collecting a plurality of portions is arranged on the portioning plate on the side facing away from the pressing unit.
  • the cross-section of the collecting container coincides with the cross section of the Portionierhuntn.
  • the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is displaceable in the collecting container. This allows the cutting of several portions and collection of the portions before they are ejected from the portioning chamber.
  • the collection container is movable together with the portioning plate, so that both parts can be transferred together to an ejection position, while the portioning process is continued with another portioning chamber of the portioning plate.
  • the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is equipped with channels for sucking and / or expelling air or other gases.
  • the device has pins whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the channels or is slightly smaller.
  • a pin drive is provided which retracts the pins in a certain position of the portioning plate in the channels and thereby freed the channels of impurities. Such cleaning may be performed automatically after a predetermined number of servings or as needed.
  • the pressing unit is vertically aligned.
  • the pressing chambers extend in their longitudinal direction in the vertical direction.
  • the press ram is arranged on the underside of the press unit.
  • the cutting element is located at the top of the pressing unit.
  • the portioning plate is arranged above the cutting element.
  • This arrangement is characterized in that the press chambers can be conveniently filled from the top with a piece of food.
  • the opening of the pressing chamber, accessible from above, is at a comfortable height for the user.
  • the feed through the Press stamp is from bottom to top.
  • the portions separated from the piece are transferred on the knife together with the Portionierhunt in an ejection position.
  • the portioning chamber is released downwards.
  • a top-mounted ejection element the separated portion is pressed down and falls onto a conveyor or transport device or a container in which the separated portions are collected.
  • one or more transport means are arranged below the Portionierplatte to take over the separated portions and to transport.
  • a round portioning plate with, for example, four portioning chambers for example, three positions for depositing a separated portion are possible in addition to the position of the actual portioning process. Each of these positions can be assigned to a separate transport device. In this way, portions can be stored on different transport devices depending on their weight or quality.
  • the portioning plate is arranged rotatably about an axis. It also has an even number of Portionierhuntn, which are all arranged at the same radial distance from the axis and at the same angular distance from one another in the portioning.
  • the rotatable arrangement of the portioning plate has the advantage that the portioning plate can be moved faster than in a displaceable arrangement. This leads to shorter cycle times. If all the portioning chambers in the portioning plate have the same radial distance from the axis, and if the number of portioning chambers is even, then the portioning and cutting and depositing of separated portions at different conveying devices can take place simultaneously. This increases the cycle time of the device.
  • the pressing unit and the portioning plate are rotatable about two parallel, spatially separated axes.
  • the rotatable arrangement ensures that the movement of the pressing unit and the portioning plate can proceed faster than with a displaceable arrangement.
  • Two spatially separated axes mean that the press unit and the portioning plate do not interfere with each other in their movements, and that the ejection or removal of the separated portions from the portioning chambers of the portioning carried out at a distance from the pressing unit and thus sufficient space for the transport of separated portions is available.
  • Parallel axes are advantageous because the cut is usually perpendicular to the direction of advance of the piece in the press chamber and the press chambers are arranged with their longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of the press unit.
  • the pressing die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a force sensor.
  • the force is measured, with which the piece presses against the ram to vice versa. The same applies to the chamber floor.
  • This measured force is input to the servo drive control.
  • the press die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a displacement or position sensor. While the displacement sensor measures a distance traveled by the ram or chamber bottom, the position sensor determines the absolute position of the ram or chamber bottom relative to a predetermined zero point. The value measured by the sensor is input to the servo drive control.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a device for portioning meat is shown in two different perspective views.
  • the device essentially consists of a press unit 1, a portioning plate 2 and a knife rotatably arranged between the pressing unit and the portioning plate.

  • the press unit 1 is driven by a press unit drive for rotation.
  • the pressing unit 1 occupies essentially two positions. In a first in the FIGS. 1 and 2 As shown, the first pressing chamber 3a is located below the portioning plate 2 and the second pressing chamber 3b is at the maximum distance from the portioning plate 2. In this setting, the piece of meat located in this pressing chamber 3a is divided into portions. The second pressing chamber 3b is not covered by the portioning plate 2 and therefore freely accessible from above. In it a piece of meat can be introduced from above. In order to facilitate the insertion, the closure element 5b is pulled out of the compression chamber housing 4b so far that the Cross section of the pressing chamber 3b has its largest possible initial setting.
  • the closing element 5b is pushed into the pressing chamber housing 4b with the aid of a closing element drive 7 in order to reduce the cross section of the pressing chamber 3b.
  • a force sensor not shown in the drawing, thereby determines the force with which the piece of meat counteracts the closure element drive 7.
  • the closure element 5b is locked in position.
  • the corresponding to the relevant setting of the closure element 5b cross section of the pressing chamber is determined by a, also not recognizable in the drawing displacement sensor.
  • the pressing unit 1 is rotated and the second portioning chamber 3b filled with a piece of meat is moved under the portioning plate 2.
  • the first pressing chamber 3a is now empty and can be refilled with a piece of meat. This is done in the same way as described above.
  • the displacement of the closure elements 5 a and 5 b can take place before, during or after the rotation of the press unit 1.
  • the two press chambers 3a and 3b are identical.
  • a pressing ram 8 is inserted from below into the pressing chamber 3a or 3b arranged below the portioning plate 2.
  • the punch can also be referred to as a plunger. He is in the FIGS. 1 and 2 not visible. He is in the FIGS. 3 to 7 and 15 shown.
  • the pressing ram 8 pushes the meat from the bottom upwards into a portioning chamber 9 of the portioning plate 2 arranged above the pressing chamber 3a or 3b.
  • the portioning plate 2 is equipped with a total of 4 portioning chambers 9. Above the position at which a pressing chamber 3a or 3b can be brought into coincidence with a portioning chamber 9, a chamber bottom 10 is arranged to be displaceable in the vertical direction. To the Moving the chamber bottom 10, a chamber floor drive 11 is provided.
  • the chamber bottom 10 is inserted from above into a portioning chamber 9.
  • the thickness and thus the weight of a portion depends on how far or how deep the bottom of the chamber protrudes into the portioning chamber.
  • the weight of the portions and their thickness is thus adjustable over the position of the chamber bottom 10.
  • the piece of meat is pressed from below through the press ram 8 into the portioning chamber 9 closed by the chamber bottom 10, so that the meat fills the entire portioning chamber.
