Description

Vorrichtung für das Warmhalten, Portionieren und Ausgeben eines Lebensmittels Device for keeping warm, portioning and dispensing a food
In vielen Kaufhäusern, Imbissbuden, Tankstellenshops etc. werden Semmeln mit heißem Leberkäse angeboten. Dafür wird eine großes Stück Leberkäse in Pastetenform (länglich, annähernd prismatisch) in einem heißen Backofen aufbewahrt . Bei Bedarf wird das Stück herausgenommen, es werden ein oder zwei Schnitten abgeschnitten, das Stück wird wieder in den Backofen zurückgelegt und die abgeschnitten Stücke werden zwischen den beiden Schichten einer entzweigeschnittenen Semmel oder auf einem Teller an den Kunden übergeben. All das ist mit relativ viel Arbeitsaufwand verbunden, insbesondere dann, wenn die arbeitende Person auch andere Tätigkeit verrichten muss und für das Hantieren mit den Lebensmitteln Handschuhe anziehen und nachher wieder ausziehen muss.In many department stores, food stalls, petrol station shops, etc., rolls with hot liver cheese are offered. For this purpose, a large piece of meat loaf in pate shape (oblong, almost prismatic) is stored in a hot oven. If necessary, the piece is taken out, one or two cuts are cut, the piece is put back into the oven and the cut pieces are handed over between the two layers of a twofold cut roll or on a plate to the customer. All of this is associated with a relatively large amount of work, especially if the working person has to do other work and put on for handling the food gloves and then take off again.

Fig. 2: ist eine Skizze von einer zweiten Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in einer Schrägriss- Teilschnittansicht .Fig. 2: is a sketch of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention in a Schrägriss- partial sectional view.
Die skizzierten erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen weißen eine Gerätehülle 1 auf, welche eine Raum umschließt, welcher beheizbar ist und das Lebensmittelstück 10, typischerweise ein „ziegelähnliches" Stück Leberkäse enthält. (Andere Bezeichnungen für „Leberkäse" sind „Fleischkäse", „Fleischlaib", „Bayrischer Leberkäse".)The sketched devices according to the invention white a device casing 1, which encloses a space which is heatable and the food piece 10, typically contains a "brick-like" piece of Leberkäse. (Other terms for "Leberkäse" are "Fleischkäse", "Fleischlaib", "Bavarian Leberkäse").
Die Wärmequelle bzw. Wärmequellen sind nicht dargestellt. Es kommen dafür alle für Backrohre und Ähnliches einsetzbaren Heizmethoden in Betracht .The heat source or heat sources are not shown. It come for all for baking pipes and the like usable heating methods into consideration.
Gemäß Fig. 1 ist das Lebensmittelstück 10 auf einem schräg abfallend verlaufenden Förderband 4 angeordnet, auf welcher es zu einer, in einer ortsfesten, vertikal ausgerichteten Führung beweglichen Schneideklinge 2 transportiert wird, damit durch diese eine Scheibe 11 abgeschnitten werden kann. Nach dem Abschneiden fällt die Scheibe 11 auf einen ausfahrbaren Teller 3. Durch diesen wird die Scheibe 11 durch die in der Schnittdarstellung von Fig. 1 an der nicht dargestellten Vorderseite befindlichen Tür in der Gerätehülle aus dem beheizten Raum ausgefahren. Die bedienende Person kann die Scheibe mit einer Gabel nehmen und je nach Bedarf auf eine Semmelscheibe oder einen Teller legen, ohne die Scheibe oder das angeschnittene große Stück mit der Hand berühren zu müssen. Da auch die Semmelscheibe mit einer Zange gehalten werden kann, ohne mit der Hand berührt werden zu müssen, braucht die bedienende Person keine Handschuhe für das Hantieren mit den Lebensmitteln zu tragen.1, the food piece 10 is arranged on a sloping conveyor belt 4, on which it is transported to a, in a stationary, vertically oriented guide cutting blade 2, so that a slice 11 can be cut through this. After cutting the disc 11 falls onto an extendable plate 3. Through this, the disc 11 is extended by the located in the sectional view of Fig. 1 on the front door, not shown, in the device case from the heated room. The operator can take the disc with a fork and lay as required on a bread slice or a plate, without having to touch the disc or the large piece cut by hand. Since the disc can be held with a pair of pliers without having to be touched by hand, the operator does not need to wear gloves for handling the food.
An einer Seite der Gerätehülle ist ein Bedienfeld 5 angeordnet, an welcher jedenfalls die Größe und die Stückzahl der auszugebenden Portion an die Steuerung der Vorrichtung eingegeben werden kann. Um die Bedienvorgänge einfach zu halten, kann das Bedienfeld jeweils eine Taste bzw. einen Flächenbereich für „normale Portion", „kleine Portion", „große Portion" sowie Tasten bzw. Feldbereiche für „Abschnittsstärke" (in mm) und „Anzahl der Abschnitte" enthalten.On one side of the device housing, a control panel 5 is arranged, at which in any case the size and the quantity of the portion to be dispensed can be input to the control of the device. To keep operations simple, the control panel has one button for each of "normal portion," "small portion," "large portion," and "section thickness" buttons (or divisions) and "number of sections " contain.
Bei der Bauweise gemäß Fig. 2 ist eine Öffnung aus der Gerätehülle 1 an der Unterseite angeordnet und durch einen horizontal verfahrbaren Schieber 13 verschließbar, auf welchem in geschlossenem Zustand das - nicht dargestellte Lebensmittelstück - mit seiner Unterseite aufliegt. Die Schneidklinge 12 ist in einer Führung 14 horizontal so beweglich, dass sie den von der Gerätehülle 1 umschlossenen Raum in seinem unteren Bereich in einer horizontalen Ebene durchfahren kann. Die Führung 14 selbst ist gegenüber der Gerätehülle 1 vertikal beweglich. Bei einem typischen Arbeitszyklus wird die ausgefahrene Schneidklinge 12 durch vertikales Verschieben der Führung 14 in passende Höhe verschoben, dann in den von der Gerätehülle 1 umschlossenen Raum eingefahren, sodass sie das untere Stück des Lebensmittel- Stücks abschneidet und somit das verbleibende Lebensmittelstück auf der Oberseite der Schneidklinge 12 zum Liegen kommt. Der Schieber 13 wird dann in die geöffnete Stellung verfahren. An einer Anschlagfläche wird dabei das auf dem Schieber befindliche, abgeschnittene Stück des Lebensmittels aufgehalten, sodass der Schieber unter diesem weg gleitet. Das abgeschnittene Stück Lebensmittel fällt nach unten. Je nach Bedarf kann unter das Gerät ein Teller oder eine Semmelhälfte gehalten werden, worauf das abgeschnittene Stück Lebensmittel fällt, ohne dass es noch berührt werden muss. An der Vorrichtung wird der Schieber 13 wieder geschlossen und die Schneidklinge 12 wieder ausgefahren, sodass das verbleibende Stück Lebensmittel wieder nach unten nachrutschen kann.In the construction of FIG. 2, an opening of the device casing 1 is arranged on the underside and closed by a horizontally movable slide 13, on which in the closed state, the food piece - not shown - rests with its underside. The cutting blade 12 is horizontally movable in a guide 14 so that it can pass through the space enclosed by the device casing 1 in its lower region in a horizontal plane. The guide 14 itself is vertically movable relative to the device casing 1. In a typical work cycle, the extended cutting blade 12 is displaced by vertically displacing the guide 14 to the proper height, then retracted into the space enclosed by the equipment case 1 so that it cuts off the lower piece of food piece and thus the remaining piece of food on top of the food piece Cutting blade 12 comes to rest. The slider 13 is then moved to the open position. At a stop surface while the located on the slide, cut piece of food is stopped, so that the slider slides under this way. The cut piece of food falls down. Depending on requirements, a plate or a half of a half can be held under the appliance, whereupon the cut piece of food falls without it having to be touched. At the device, the slider 13 is closed again and the cutting blade 12 extended again, so that the remaining piece of food can slide down again.
Indem die Schnittfläche des verbleibenden Stücks während der Zeit in der nichts entnommen wird an der Schneidklinge anliegt und nicht wie bei anderen Öfen frei liegt, bildet sich an dieser Schnittfläche keine - an sich nicht erwünschte - ausgetrocknete oder angebrannte Schicht .By the cutting surface of the remaining piece is applied to the cutting blade during the time in which nothing is removed and is not exposed as in other ovens, forms on this cut surface - not desirable per se - dried or burned layer.
Durch eine an einer Seite oder oben angeordnete separate Tür kann das Lebensmittelstück zu Beginn in die Vorrichtung eingegeben werden .By means of a separate door arranged at one side or at the top, the piece of food can be entered into the device at the beginning.
Die Vorrichtung kann mit weiteren Elementen kombiniert werden, wie beispielsweise einer Vorrichtung zum Heranführen von Tellern unter den Schieber 13 oder einer Vorrichtung zum Schneiden und Heranführen von Semmelhälften.The device may be combined with other elements, such as a device for feeding plates under the slider 13 or a device for cutting and feeding bread-half halves.
Zusätzlich zu dem Vorteil des Zeitgewinns - weil kein An- und Ausziehen von Handschuhen erforderlich ist - wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch Energie eingespart, da der beheizte Raum immer nur kurz geöffnet ist und da zudem eine kleine Ausgabeöffnung ausreicht.In addition to the advantage of gaining time - because no putting on and taking off of gloves is required - energy is saved by the device according to the invention, since the heated space is always open only briefly and also because a small dispensing opening is sufficient.
Über die besprochenen Bauweisen und Funktionen hinaus sind im Rahmen der Erfindung natürlich noch viele andere Bauweisen möglich und noch viele vorteilhafte Zusatzfunktionen und Funktionsvarianten integrierbar. Beispielsweise sollte die Heizvorrichtung nicht nur zum Warmhalten des Lebensmittelstücks geeignet sein, sondern auch zum Erhitzen. Die Steuerung kann viele vorteilhafte Programmfunktionen - wie Einstellbarkeit vor Größentypen, Programmierbarkeit wann geheizt wird, etc. - enthalten. Das Gerät könnte auch eine Kühlfunktion beinhalten, sodass man beispielsweise ein Lebensmittelstück am Abend hinein gibt, es bis zum nächsten Morgen kühl hält, ab einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt erhitzt und bis zu einem vorgegebenen späteren Zeitpunkt heiß hält. Of course, in addition to the construction methods and functions discussed, many other designs are possible within the scope of the invention and many additional advantageous functions and functional variants can be integrated. For example, the heater should not only be suitable for keeping the food piece warm, but also for heating. The controller can be many beneficial Program functions - such as adjustability before size types, programmability when heated, etc. - included. The device could also include a cooling function, such as adding a piece of food in the evening, keeping it cool until the next morning, heating it from a certain point in time and keeping it hot until a given later time.
