Description

FOOD CUTTING DEVICE

Technisches GebietTechnical area

The invention relates to a food cutting device with successively arranged, cutting knives and arranged on a pitch device Schneidguthalter which is movable in a cutting direction in the direction of the cutting blade and a befindliches in Schneidguthalter food in the cutting direction against the cutting blade is able to hire, the cutting blade with at least one Cutting edge are facing the food and are arranged offset to one another in the cutting direction in a first processing position and in height to each other.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Food slicing devices are known from DE 10 2005 048 788 A1 or FR 2080059 A5. In these known food slicing devices, a food is placed on top of a series of cutting knives and then pushed through the adjusting device through the cutting blade. Here, the adjusting device is designed as a stamp, in which the cutting blades are inserted upon depression of the punch, wherein the punch has slit-like knife receptacles on its underside.
The known food cutting devices have the disadvantage that the food must first be pressed against the abutment pressure of juxtaposed cutting blade. This leads to soft foods that they are not cut but at least partially crushed. This danger is particularly great if the food has a comparatively hard shell and a soft core.
Another disadvantage of the known food cutting devices is that the actuating force is comparatively large, since all the knives can be in engagement with the food at the same time, when the food has a substantially flat underside, with which it rests on the row of knives.
The food cutting device known from FR 2080059 A5 has, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem of increased operating force, a mill-type spindle with which a pressing plate can be set in the direction of the row of knives. In addition to the increased effort for the provision of this spindle is disadvantageous here, that although the applied pressing force can be increased by the translation of the spindle, but the speed of cutting is limited.
From US Pat. No. 3,942,399 A, an onion cutter is known, which has superimposed cutting blades which are offset toward one another in the downward direction and in the feed direction. About a sickle-shaped holder, the onions are pressed into the cutting blades and cut one after the other from top to bottom a slice of onion.
From DE 93 06 380 U1 a similar device is known. Here, the cutting blade V-shaped and successively arranged from bottom to top in a row. A slotted pressure body thereby drives the material to be cut through the knives, with the knives dipping into the receiving slots, so that the pressure body not only performs the adjusting movement, but also presses the slices through the knives, so that they fall out again on the other side.
These two cutting devices have the disadvantage that they can cut well and with less force and harder food, but a fixed slice thickness is given, so that the user can only cut this thickness.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a food cutting device of the type mentioned, which is inexpensive to produce, reliable and easy to cut the food with the best possible variability.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that height-adjustable cutting blade are provided which are displaceable in a second processing position, in succession to an adjacent cutting blade and with this in a plane, so that only the respective front cutting blade is able to cut while the underlying cutting blade is guided in the introduced from the front cutting blade in the food cut.
The inventive design of the food cutting device, it is now possible to cut the food more flexible. While with the known food cutting devices, as far as they show offset cutting knife, although the incision was made in succession in the surface, but only a slice thickness was feasible, can now be made by adjusting the cutting blade Schnittdickeneinstellung also with offset cutting blades.
It is important that the cutting blades are not only moved easily, which in principle would be possible, but that two cutting blades are moved so that they can be positioned one behind the other. Thus, the rear knife becomes inactive because it essentially extends only the blade of the cutting front knife, but does not introduce another cut. Depending on the user request can also be adjustable, the distance between the offset cutting blades in both modes of operation be the same, so that, for example, that with switched cutting blade, which are then behind each other, the double slice thickness is cut. But it is also possible that the rear cutting blade can be used in all intermediate positions, so that in the first mode of operation all cutting blades have the same distance from each other and thus the discs have a uniform thickness. Then the rear knives can be moved a little bit, so that thick and thin slices can be cut alternately.
In the extreme position then the rear cutting blades are arranged behind a front cutting blade, so again slices of the same thickness, but now cut with double thickness.
In the same way, three or more cutting blades can be displaced so that even thicker discs can be adjusted if three or more of the successively arranged cutting blades can be displaced in height so that they are from an active height in which no other cutting blade is in its plane, move to an inactive height, in which the rear cutting blades are then in a plane with the active front cutting blade.
The cutting blades are preferably mounted on a knife holder. In this case, some, for example every second cutting blade, be held firmly, which does not exclude an interchangeability for sharpening or changing. The remaining cutting blades are then movably mounted on the knife holder, so that they can be moved via a corresponding adjusting device.
Thus, the movable cutting blades may have at their ends holding means which engage in guides of the knife holder. This may be, for example, a through-groove in a wall of the knife holder disposed adjacent to the cutting blades, which blades may then have peg-like retention means extending through the guides to the opposite side. On this side, the holding means can then be connected to an adjusting means, for example a strip, wherein preferably all holding means of all cutting knives are connected to a setting means, so that pulling up the setting means pulls all holding means upwards and so all movable knives are moved upwards , In this case, latching positions may be provided, so that the adjusting means or the retaining means are held at predefined positions, at least in the two extreme positions but with appropriate configuration in intermediate positions via an elastic latching force.
Preferably, the cutting blades are held on the two end faces holding means. These can be moved independently of each other via the actuating means, which then leads to skewed cutting blades. This may well be intended to realize a corresponding shape of the material to be cut. Otherwise, the opposing adjusting means may also be connected to one another so that they are not movable independently of one another, ie the cutting blades are raised or lowered synchronously at both ends, so that slices of a uniform thickness result. For this purpose, for example, the adjusting means can be connected to each other via brackets.
The invention has the particular advantage that by displacing the cutting edges, the cutting blades cut one after another and not simultaneously when the cutting material holder is moved with the food in the feed direction. This can be further enhanced by the knife shape of the cutting blade, in particular the geometry of the cutting. In addition, this shape of the cutting blade assembly can be used to not only be able to adjust the distance of the cutting blade to each other, but in particular to arrange the cutting blades in pairs one behind the other so as to deactivate the rear cutting blade.
Particularly preferred in this case is an embodiment in which the cutting blades, starting from one direction, are offset increasingly far to the rear in the opposite direction, resulting in a step-like construction of the blades. Alternatively, a central cutting edge may also be arranged furthest forward, whereas starting from this central cutting edge, the cutting edges adjoining in two opposite directions are displaced increasingly far to the rear, so that the blade block has a V-shaped front side. However, such a step-like structure is not necessary for the invention, it can also be provided one above the other, the successively arranged pairs of cutting blades. It is only important that in each case at least one cutting blade can be moved behind another, so that it can be deactivated as a result.
The invention is applicable in connection with all forms of cutting knives. Thus, the cutting edge in the Anstellebene, ie the plane along which the adjusting device is displaceable, be rectilinear, curved or V-shaped and the edge of the cutting blade can be flat or curved. In this case, the cutting edges can be arranged parallel to each other or also take an arbitrary course, if it is desired, for example, to cut disks which have a variable thickness over the width, for example a wave shape.
In a further conceivable embodiment of the invention, cutting blades are provided, which are seen in the cutting direction, ie in a plane perpendicular to the displacement plane of the adjusting device, either V-shaped or V-shaped are arranged in pairs. Here, one behind the other, the V-shaped knife blades are provided at different heights, so that they cut out of the food column one after the other or divide this into gaps. The pairs of V-shaped knife blades can be arranged in the same direction or in opposite directions, so that the V-shape opens either to the same side or alternately to opposite sides.
A preferred feature is the fact that the cutting blades are arranged with their cutting edges in the cutting direction so that the cutting edges are not in a direction vertical to the cutting direction. This can be used both in straight, curved, V-shaped or wavy cutting blades, as well as in conjunction with annular cutting blades, as described above, be useful.
A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention has an adjusting device, which is provided with blade receptacles. These blade receptacles are formed by depressions in the example block-like adjusting device, wherein the cutting blade engage when hiring the adjusting against the cutting blade in the blade receptacles. This means that the area between the blade receptacles engages between the cutting blades, so that these areas ensure that the rear portions of the food are cut sufficiently safely. Further, if the blade seats are deep enough, these areas will cause the slices of food cut by the cutting blades to be pushed back out of the blade block.
Preferably, the adjusting device on a pressing block, which is engageable against the cutting blade. Usually, the food cutting devices according to the invention will be designed as a manual cutting device, so that this pressing block can be adjusted by a handle against the cutting blade. In the pressing block then the blade receptacles are provided, which have the shape of a slot, which in turn corresponds to the shape of the cutting blade. So that the cutting blades on the one hand can engage in the blade receptacles, but on the other hand can get as little share of the food between the blade holders and the cutting blade, here preferably the slot is only slightly thicker than the cutting blade. For example, the slot may be 0.5 to 1.5 mm thicker than the cutting blades. Since the cutting blades taper forward because of the front edge, they automatically thread themselves into the blade holders.
Optionally can be arranged on the blade receptacles on grinding elements, which are employed in particular by a spring force against the cutting and sharpening the blades automatically when inserting the cutting into the blade recordings.
If the cutting edges of the cutting blades can be set differently on both sides, the blade holders can also be inclined slits, so that even in this case the function can be guaranteed. So that the angles of the blade receptacles and the inclination of the cutting blades match, the latter are preferably predetermined via locking positions or other measures, so that a suitable blade receptacle is available for every angle of the cutting blade.
Alternatively, the pressing block may also be made yielding, so that the cutting edges can push into the pressing block in any position. This configuration is of particular interest in the case of a short cutting blade, since here the flexibility is easy to realize. Furthermore, the pressing block can also be designed so that the cutting edges of the cutting blade when penetrating into the pressing hole can displace its material upwards or downwards.
A further preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a means which prevents the slices of food from adhering to the flanks of the cutting blades. In particular, if only one food is to be cut or in the case of the last food is otherwise the risk that the slices of food do not fall out of the gaps between the cutting blades but adhere to the flanks due to the stickiness of the discs. This problem is particularly associated with foods that are highly sticky, such as boiled potatoes or raw, high-moisture vegetables with a firm consistency.
The means described above, which prevent the discs from sticking to the knife edges, may be, for example, projections which project from the knife edges. In a preferred embodiment, these are ribs extending at right angles or at an angle to the cutting edge, which ensure that the slices of the food are derived from the surface of the knife edges. Instead of these ribs, it is also possible for punctiform elevations or large-area recesses to be provided, as is known, for example, by cheese knives.
The principle according to the invention can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of embodiments. In one possible embodiment, a support frame is used which holds the blade block. The support frame is at the same time slideway for a carriage-like adjusting device. This embodiment corresponds essentially to the known food planers.
In the support frame, the cutting blades are arranged gradually, which are offset from bottom to top to the rear. As a result, the food which is moved against the cutting blades by means of the carriage-like setting device is sliced from bottom to top. It is therefore first cut off by the lowest cutting blade a first disc. Subsequently, the overlying cutting blades are successively used, being regulated by the distance of the cutting in the cutting direction, ie in the direction of displacement of the carriage-like adjusting device, how many cuts at which time intervals are performed sequentially.
Due to the spatial gradation of the cutting blade while a block-like food is taken care that the first contact of the cutting blade with the food takes place in different positions, but still be closely spaced cutting blades, ie at a great slope of the stairs formed by the cutting blades , cutting several or even all cutting blades into different depths of food at the same time.
If desired, the cutting edges of the cutting blades may also have a greater distance from one another in the cutting direction, so that fewer cutting blades are then active at the same time or cut the cutting blades into the food over a larger spatial area. This reduces the pressure and shear forces in the food and can ensure that the food is not crushed by the cutting pressure. The latter can be additionally prevented by the cutting blades are arranged obliquely to the cutting direction or in turn are V-shaped, the cutting blades then first dive with a tip in the food and then cut with the laterally rearward cutting the slices of food.
The cutting blades may also be bent relative to the plane in which the cutting direction lies. If the food is flexible, this causes the slices to be directed downwards from the food after being sliced off, so that they can fall, for example, in a collecting bowl.
The support frame may be formed so that it can be placed on a bowl or other subset, wherein preferably the underside of the support frame so cooperates with the upper edge of the bowl or pedestal that the support frame relative to the upper edge not or only slightly displaced is. The carriage-like adjusting device preferably has a possibility to keep the food on the one hand and on the other hand, according to the cutting progress, increasingly introduce. This is preferably a feed chute through which the food can be added or imported.
Below this feed chute can be provided, for example, a plate-like support on which the food rests during the feed and subsequent cutting. This support is formed, for example, as a flat bottom, which is movable together with the other parts of the adjusting device in the direction of the cutting blade and then moved at a further distance then below the bottom cutting blade.
In the embodiment described above, therefore, the Schneidguthalter is formed by a movable carriage on the support frame and at the same time has the adjusting device and the support for the food. The adjusting device is preferably also provided with slot-like blade recordings.
In the case of an alternative embodiment, the support frame is designed so that it can be placed with a lower part on a pedestal, for example a bowl, while a right-angled or obliquely upward cutting area carries the knife block and the adjusting device. Here, the adjusting device may be formed as an inclined or vertical plane, along which the Schneidguthalter is movable. This has the advantage that the cutting direction is directed downwards or has a downward component, so that the slices of the food can fall down after cutting in substantially the same direction. As a result, the size of the required subset remain small because the cutting material may fall selectively under the device and learns no reversal.
A further advantageous embodiment of the invention has a support frame, in which the knife block is used as a replaceable blade block. This has the advantage that the blade block can be removed for cleaning. On the other hand, this has the advantages that on the one hand the blade block can be removed for sharpening the cutting blade and on the other hand different blade blocks can be used to vary, for example, the distance of the cutting blade and thus the thickness of the discs.
The blade block can also be designed such that the cutting blades can be removed individually or in groups. For example, every other cutting blade may be attached to a separate insert that is inserted from behind into the blade block. When this insert is removed, slices of double thickness are cut with the otherwise unchanged device. A single removal of the cutting blade, however, can be used for sharpening or cleaning.
The adjusting device is preferably formed in this embodiment so that the blades inserted into the support frame blades are concealed at least in the assembled state. A further preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a blade block, which is covered at the top, bottom and sides of a safety walk. This wall extends around the cutting edges of the cutting blades so that the removed blade block poses no risk of injury. At the front, the safety wall is open, so that a support with the food lying on it, which protrudes from the adjusting device forward in the cutting direction, can be pushed into the interior of the safety wall. The same applies to a possible pressing block, which is then also formed forward jumping out, so that it can be inserted into the safety wall and thus fulfill its function.
A further embodiment of the invention is formed like a pliers, wherein on one of the arms of this pliers the blade block and on the opposite arm of the pliers, the adjusting device is provided with the pressing block. Below the blade block or below the pressing block then a projecting into the space between the blade block and press block support for the food is provided, which acts as Schneidguthalter. In this embodiment, the food is placed on the support and then compressed the two arms of the forceps. The slices of food then fall out of the blade block on the side away from the pressing block.
The present invention has been described in this application as a combination of offset cutting blades with the adjustment mechanism. However, the Applicant reserves the right to claim the described features of the offset knife without the adjustment mechanism, insofar as the disclosure should be understood that it can also be independent invention complexes.
Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Bester Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungBest way to carry out the invention

FIG. 1 shows a food cutting device according to the invention. This has a support frame 7, which is placed on a bowl. On the support frame, a positioning device 3 is slidably mounted, wherein below the tip-like adjusting device 3, a pad, not shown here as Schneidguthalter 2 is provided.
The adjusting device 3 has in the upper area on the left a handle on which it can be moved manually. In the central region, a feed chute 5 is provided, through which the food can be placed on the support of the Schneidguthalters 2. The adjusting device 3 can be adjusted against a blade block 6, which has a plurality of mutually arranged and in the cutting direction S relative to each other offset to the rear cutting blade 1. In this case, the lowermost cutting blade 1 is arranged furthest forward, so that the employees employed by the adjusting device 3 against the cutting blade 1 first comes into contact with this lowermost cutting blade 1.
The arranged above the lowermost cutting blade 1, further cutting blade 1 are then continuously further offset to the rear, so that with increasing feed of the adjusting device 3 in the cutting direction S successively one of the next upper cutting blade 1 comes in contact with the food. As a result, successive slices of the food are cut, which then fall through the blade block 6 in a bowl.
According to the invention, the cutting blades 1 are now movable relative to each other. This can be done by raising or lowering all the cutting blade 1 or, as described here, done by fixed cutting blade 1 and relatively movable over adjusting means Schneidmesser1.
In Figure 1, the adjustability is not shown, the associated mechanism is shown schematically in Figures 2 and 3 in detail. Here, the lower cutting blade 1 is held stationary in the blade block 3 and mounted from front to back every second, adjoining cutting blade 1 movable. The intervening cutting blade 1 are each in turn held stationary, said fixed means that these blades are not adjustable, of course, can still be removed for exchange or sharpening, if desired.
That an embodiment with fixed cutting blades 1 is described here is to be understood only as an example in order to explain the invention as simply as possible. Of course, the basic idea of the adjustable, rearwardly offset cutting blade 1 according to the invention can also be implemented with pairs or combinations of a plurality of cutting blades 1, which are adjustable in pairs or in combinations independently of one another. The invention is described below with reference to a food cutting device having the support frame 7, wherein this support frame 7 is to be understood only as an example as a way to hold and store the cutting blade 1. Of course, other basic forms of the device can be implemented, so that then the support frame can be replaced by a housing, a pliers body or another component. An example of this is the cutting pliers shown in FIG.
Here, by means of an adjusting device 9, in the figures 2 and 3 dashed lines and schematically as on the outside of the support frame 7 displaceably upwardly and downwardly mounted control rail indicated that held in guides 8 cutting blade 1 are adjusted. The guides 8 here consist of vertically extending through slots, through which the cutting blades 1 connected holding means 10 project through, which are connected at the side facing away from the cutting blade 1 with the adjusting means 9. The adjusting means 9 and the supporting part of the support frame 7 in turn may have latching means, so that the cutting blade 1 in the extreme positions "up" and "down", if desired but also in intermediate positions, can be releasably locked against overcoming the elastic latching force. Intermediate positions then lead to different thicknesses of the cut slices, which may well be desirable.
FIG. 3 shows the embodiment according to FIG. 2 in the second operating position, in which the displaceable cutting blades 1 are lifted by lifting the strip-like adjusting means 9, so that now only three stages result in this embodiment. Thus, the respective rear cutting blade 1 are deactivated and are performed behind the preceding cutting blade 1 in the introduced by this section.
On the front side, the cutting blades are mounted in an identical manner, wherein the adjusting means 9 can be connected to each other via a bracket, a housing or other connection, so that by raising this connection both adjusting means 9 can be actuated at a time. This can also be done via levers or other transmission means.
FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the invention. This food cutting device also has a blade block 6, which consists of a plurality of cutting blades 1. Here, this blade block 6 is provided on the left arm of the pincer-like carrier. On the right arm of the carrier, the adjusting device 3 is arranged, which is also provided here with slot-like blade holders 4, in which engage the cutting blade 1 during compression of the forceps-like support. This means that the adjusting device 3 on the one hand is able to press the food in the direction of the blade block 6, on the other hand through the slots is able to penetrate the blade block 6.
In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting material holder 2 is fixed below the blade block 6, which is here designed in the form of a plate which protrudes in the direction of the adjusting device 3. This means that the gap between the blade block 6 and the adjusting device 3 is bridged down over the plate-like Schneidguthalter 2, so that the food between the two arms can be placed on the Schneidguthalter 2.
If now the pliers pressed together, the adjusting device 3 drives the food in the direction of the blade block 6 and pushes this subsequently through the cutting blade 1, so that it can fall down in slices on the left side below the blade block 6. This device to be held in the hand has the advantage that, for accurate placement of the cut slices, the forceps can also be held vertically, so that the cutting direction S runs parallel to the vertical direction.
The embodiment shown has a Schneidguthalter 2, which is plate-like and is connected on the side of the blade block 6 with the corresponding arm of the pliers. This is only an exemplary embodiment, of course, the Schneidguthalter 2 also on the opposite side, namely on the part of the adjusting device 3, be connected to the device.
Furthermore, instead of the plate-like Schneidguthalters 2 and a completely closed Schneidguthalter 1 are used, which then extends in particular as a circumferential wall of the adjusting device 3 in the direction of the blade block 6. In this embodiment, the forceps is preferably designed so that they can be opened very wide, so that the food can be particularly easily inserted into the then cup-shaped Schneidguthalter 2.
The pliers described may also have the adjustment mechanism of the cutting blade 1. For this purpose, the adjusting means 9 is then provided on the blade block 6, which is not shown here for reasons of clarity.
