Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for slicing food products, in particular sausage, meat or cheese according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices for slicing food products are basically known. Such devices have a product support for at least one product to be sliced and a downstream of the product support cutting blade to which the product can be fed along a conveying direction. Furthermore, known devices of this type are provided with a product holder which is movable along the conveying direction and interacts with the product at least temporarily during the slicing process.
  • the EP 1 704 973 A1 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1. Further prior art is known from DE 10 2005 056 848 A1 . DE 10 2008 020 246 A1 and DE 42 30 574 A1 ,
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device of the aforementioned type, which has an improved product holder or an improved concept for using a product holder, in particular to increase the product throughput, the product yield and / or the cutting quality.
  • a device not according to the invention for slicing food products comprises a product support for at least one product, a cutting blade downstream of the product support to which the product can be fed along a conveying direction, and at least one movable along the conveying direction and during the Slicing operation with the product at least temporarily cooperating product holder, wherein the product support has a loading between an initial position and an end position of the product holder loading area in which the product support is loaded with the product and wherein the product holder from the end position, bypassing the loading area movable back to the initial position is.
  • the product holder can be moved in the conveying direction starting from its initial position or only during the slicing process and brought into contact with the product.
  • the product can then be conveyed from the product holder and fed to the cutting blade.
  • the product holder can also, without conveying the product, be moved only with the product and hold the product at its rear end, wherein the product in other ways, for example by means of a conveyor belt, which forms the actual product support, can be promoted.
  • the product holder reaches its end position behind the loading area in the conveying direction, from which the product holder is moved back to its initial position, bypassing the loading area.
  • This allows the product support to be loaded with a new product while the product holder is moving back to the initial position. It is therefore not necessary to wait until the product holder has passed through the loading area in order to reload the product support. Thereby, the time that elapses between the cut on two products, so that the product throughput is increased in the device.
  • the term "product holder” is to be understood in the context of the present invention. This is to be understood in particular as a device which can be brought into contact with the product and / or by means of which the product can be handled anyway.
  • the product holder can also be a vacuum gripper.
  • the product holder may be a product pusher that merely conveys the product.
  • the product may be moved in different directions with the product holder, or forces may be applied to the product with the product holder.
  • the product holder has a product gripper, which can penetrate into the product, in particular in its rear end portion. This will hold the product.
  • the functions "convey” and “hold” of the product holder can be implemented individually or combined depending on the application.
  • the product can also be moved counter to the conveying direction by the product gripper. This may be desirable during the slicing process, for example or required to perform, for example, idle cuts.
  • a rear, not cut product section can be moved away from the cutting blade by means of the product gripper counter to the conveying direction and then dropped into a residual container.
  • the product holder can preferably be moved away from the end position to the side and / or upwards and / or downwards. In this way, it is particularly easy to constructively bypass the loading area. In this case, the product holder can be moved perpendicular to the conveying direction until it is outside the loading area. From the position reached in this way, the product holder can then be moved against the conveying direction and past the loading area back to the end position.
  • the product holder can be pivoted away from the end position or can be folded away. This can also be realized structurally in a simple manner. The weggeschwenkt or folded away product holder can then be moved back past the loading area in the initial position.
  • the product holder can also be foldable or telescopic.
  • a device not according to the invention for slicing food products comprises a product support for at least one product, a cutting blade downstream of the product support, to which the product can be fed along a conveying direction, and at least one movable along the conveying direction and during the Slicing process with the product at least temporarily cooperating product holder, wherein the product holder is drivable by means of a lever arrangement.
  • the lever arrangement may be designed as a one-sided lever or as a two-sided lever, in particular as a lever, in which the force arm is substantially shorter than the load arm.
  • the power arm and the load arm are on the same side with respect to the axis of rotation of the lever, whereas with a two-sided lever, the axis of rotation is between the power arm and the load arm.
  • the load arm corresponds to that side of the lever arrangement on which the load to be moved, ie the product holder, is located.
  • the length of the load arm corresponds to the distance of the point of application of the load to the axis of rotation.
  • the power arm corresponds to the side of the lever arrangement, which acts on the moving force.
  • the length of the power arm corresponds to the distance between the axis of rotation and the point of application of the moving force. If the power arm is much smaller than the load arm, the lever assembly at a relatively low speed, with which the power arm is moved, cause a relatively high speed on the load arm.
  • the lever arrangement can thus implement a low rotational speed of the power arm, which can be achieved structurally simply by means of an electric drive unit, for example, into a relatively high speed for the product holder coupled to the load arm.
  • the drive device can act on the axis of rotation of the lever arrangement.
  • the lever arrangement may have a length compensation in order to compensate for a dependent on the position of the product holder along the conveying direction distance between the axis of rotation of the lever assembly and the product holder.
  • lever assembly has at least two hingedly interconnected levers, as they change their relative orientation to each other via their articulated connection and thus can compensate for a changing distance between the product holder and the axis of rotation.
  • a drive unit for the lever arrangement can be provided, which is arranged below the product support.
  • the drive unit can be relatively easily achieved, for example, to perform service work. In addition, this does not affect the intended area for handling the products above the product overlay.
  • a drive unit of the lever arrangement for example an electric motor, can act on the axis of rotation of the lever arrangement. hereby on the one hand a relatively simple rotary drive and on the other hand at the same time - unlike a spindle-nut arrangement - if necessary, a relatively high speed of the product holder can be realized.
  • a device for slicing food products, in particular sausage, meat or cheese, comprises a product support for at least one product, a cutting blade downstream of the product support to which the product can be fed along a conveying direction, at least one movable along the conveying direction and during the slicing process the product at least temporarily cooperating product holder, and a control unit, wherein the control unit connected to a detection device for detecting the product contour and is formed depending on the detected product contour to control the product holder such that the distance between the product holder and the product support during the slicing process is adjustable so that the product holder keeps the product in contact with the product support during the slicing process.
  • a rear end portion of the product which tapers towards the rear end, can be permanently held in contact with the product support, with the rear end portion being cut open, and by the product holder, as well always - is held.
  • the rear end of the product is also supported by the product support, which increases the quality of the slices separated by this end section, which makes it possible, at least in certain applications, to cut open the rear end of the product, thereby increasing the product yield.
  • the tapered, held by the product holder end portion depends in a sense "in the air", so that a support by the product support is not given and the End section either not at all or cut only at the expense of a lower cutting quality.
  • the control of the product holder with respect to its distance from the product support is dependent on the determined concrete contour of the respective cut product.
  • the control unit for the product holder is for this purpose connected to the detection device for the product contour.
  • the product holder is preferably lowerable such that the product holder keeps the underside of the rear end portion in contact with the product support during the slicing operation.
  • the product holder for adjusting the distance between the product holder and the product support is pivotable. By pivoting the product holder downwards, a variable product diameter can thus be compensated during the slicing of the end section, and the underside of the end section can be permanently held in contact with the product support.
