Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein rotierendes Schneidmesser, das von einem Lebensmittelriegel eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelscheiben abschneidet, wobei das Schneidmesser an einer Messeraufnahme vorgesehen ist. Des Weiteren betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Aufschneidevorrichtung aufweisend das erfindungsgemäße Schneidmesser und ein Verfahren zum Aufschneiden eines Lebensmittelriegels, bei dem ein rotierendes Schneidmesser eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelscheiben von einem Lebensmittelriegel abtrennt sowie ein Verfahren zum Aufschneiden eines Lebensmittelriegels, bei dem ein rotierendes Schneidmesser, das an einer Messeraufnahme angeordnet ist, eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelscheiben von einem Lebensmittelriegel abtrennt und zwischen zwei Lebensmittelscheiben ein Interleaver angeordnet wird.The present invention relates to a rotary cutting knife which cuts a plurality of food slices from a food bar, the cutting knife being provided on a knife holder. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a slicing device comprising the cutting knife according to the invention and a method for slicing a food bar, in which a rotating cutting knife a plurality of food slices separated from a food bar and a method for slicing a food bar, in which a rotating cutting blade, on a Knife receptacle is arranged, a plurality of food slices separated from a food bar and between two food slices an interleaver is arranged.

Derartige Schneidmesser, Vorrichtungen sowie Verfahren sind aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise der DE 38 18 474 A1 und der US 5 136 908 A , hinlänglich bekannt und werden dazu eingesetzt, Lebensmittelscheiben von einem Lebensmittelriegel, beispielsweise einem Wurst-, Käse- oder Schinkenriegel abzutrennen. Meistens fallen die Lebensmittelscheiben nach dem Abschneiden eine gewisse Wegstrecke auf eine Auflage, beispielsweise einen Ablagetisch, und/oder auf bereits abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheiben. Dort werden sie zu einer Portion konfiguriert und dann abtransportiert. Insbesondere bei großen Lebensmittelscheiben kommt es bei dieser Fallbewegung und/oder bereits beim Abschneiden der jeweiligen Lebensmittelscheibe von dem Lebensmittelriegel zu einer unerwünschten Verformung, beispielsweise zum Falten oder Wellen, der jeweiligen Lebensmittelscheibe. Alternativ kann es aber auch wünschenswert sein die zunächst im Wesentlichen plane Lebensmittelscheibe in eine dreidimensionale Form zu bringen, beispielsweise zu falten.Such cutting blades, devices and methods are known from the prior art, for example DE 38 18 474 A1 and the US 5 136 908 A , Well known and are used to separate food slices from a food bar, such as a sausage, cheese or ham bar. Most of the food slices fall after cutting a certain distance on a support, such as a storage table, and / or on already cut food slices. There they are configured to a serving and then transported away. Particularly in the case of large food slices, this falling movement and / or already when the respective food slice is being sliced off the food bar results in undesired deformation, for example for folding or waves, of the respective food slice. Alternatively, it may also be desirable to bring the initially substantially flat food disc into a three-dimensional shape, for example to fold.

Es war deshalb die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Schneidmesser zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem eine Lebensmittelscheibe während des Abschneidens und/oder während ihres Fluges in einer gewünschten Form stabilisiert und/oder geformt wird.It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cutting blade with which a food slice is stabilized and / or shaped during cutting and / or during its flight in a desired shape.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe mit einem rotierenden Schneidmesser gemäß Patentanspruch 1.The problem is solved with a rotating cutting blade according to claim 1.

Die zu diesem Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung gemachten Ausführungen gelten für die anderen Gegenstände der vorliegenden Erfindung gleichermaßen und umgekehrt.The statements made on this subject of the present invention apply equally to the other objects of the present invention and vice versa.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein rotierendes Schneidmesser, das von einem Lebensmittel eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelscheiben abschneidet. Bei einem derartigen Schneidmesser kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Kreismesser, ein Sichelmesser oder um ein Spiralmesser handeln. Vorzugsweise ist das Messer ein Kreismesser, das sich auf einer Orbitalbahn bewegt und sich beim Abschneiden einer Lebensmittelscheibe mehrfach um seine eigene Mittenachse dreht. Das Messer ist in der Regel an einer Messeraufnahme, die Teil eines Rotors einer Aufschneidevorrichtung ist, angeordnet. Bei solchen Aufschneidevorrichtungen wird ein Lebensmittelriegel entlang einer Vorschubtrasse kontinuierlich oder intermittierend in Richtung des Schneidmessers transportiert. Dieses Schneidmesser trennt von dem vorderen Ende des Lebensmittelriegels Lebensmittelscheiben ab. Die Dicke einer Lebensmittelscheibe wird durch den Vorschub, um den der Lebensmittelriegel weiter transportiert wird, während sich das Schneidmesser nicht im schneidenden Eingriff mit dem Lebensmittelriegel befindet, bestimmt. Nach dem Abschneiden fallen die Lebensmittelscheiben, insbesondere entlang einer Flugkurve, auf einen Ablagetisch und/oder auf eine bereits abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheibe, wo sie zu einer Portion konfiguriert und dann abtransportiert werden.The present invention relates to a rotary cutting blade which cuts a plurality of food slices from a food. In such a Cutting knives may be, for example, a circular knife, a sickle knife or a spiral knife. Preferably, the knife is a circular knife that moves on an orbital path and rotates several times around its own center axis when cutting a food slice. The knife is usually arranged on a blade receptacle, which is part of a rotor of a slicing device. In such slicing devices, a food bar is transported along a feed path continuously or intermittently in the direction of the cutting blade. This cutting knife separates food slices from the front end of the food rack. The thickness of a food slice is determined by the feed rate by which the food bar is further transported while the cutting knife is not in cutting engagement with the food bar. After cutting, the food slices fall, in particular along a flight curve, on a storage table and / or on an already cut food disc, where they are configured to a serving and then transported away.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun das Schneidmesser so gestaltet, dass eine Gas-, insbesondere Luftströmung erzeugt wird, die jede Lebensmittelscheibe während des Schneidens und/oder danach, d.h. während sie auf den Ablagetisch und/oder auf dort bereits vorhandene Lebensmittelscheiben fällt, formt und/oder in einer gewünschten Form zumindest teilweise und/oder zeitweise stabilisiert. Der Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom strömt dabei entlang dem bereits abgeschnittenen Teil der Lebensmittelscheibe und/oder entlang der vollständig abgeschnitten, sich vorzugsweise im Flug befindlichen Lebensmittelscheibe und formt und/oder stabilisiert diese. Durch das Mittel kann ein pulsierender oder ein kontinuierlicher Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, erzeugt werden. Der Luftstrom kann einen Impuls auf die Lebensmittelschreibe ausüben und/oder einen Unterdruck auf einer Seite der Lebensmittelscheibe erzeugen, wodurch die Lebensmittelscheibe geformt und/oder in ihrer gewünschten Form stabilisiert wird. Der Luftstrom kann auch dazu eingesetzt werden das Schneidmesser bei seiner Rotation zu stabilisieren, so dass es beispielsweise weniger schwingt.According to the invention, the cutting blade is now designed so that a gas, in particular air flow is generated, which each food disc during cutting and / or thereafter, i. while it falls on the tray and / or there already existing food slices formed and / or at least partially and / or temporarily stabilized in a desired form. The gas, in particular air flow, flows along the already cut-off part of the food disc and / or along the food slice, which is completely cut off, preferably in flight, and shapes and / or stabilizes it. By means of a pulsating or a continuous gas, in particular air flow can be generated. The airflow may impart a pulse to the foodstuff writing and / or create a vacuum on one side of the food slice, thereby shaping the food slice and / or stabilizing it in its desired shape. The air flow can also be used to stabilize the cutting blade during its rotation, so that it oscillates less, for example.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich wird der von dem Mittel erzeugte Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, dazu eingesetzt ein Interleaver an jeweils eine abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheibe anzulegen. Ein Interleaver ist ein Stück aus Papier oder einer papierähnlichen Substanz, das zwischen zwei Lebensmittelscheiben angeordnet wird, um deren Haftung zu vermindern.Alternatively or additionally, the gas, in particular air stream, generated by the agent is used to apply an interleaver to a respective cut-off food disc. An interleaver is a piece of paper or a paper-like substance placed between two food slices to reduce their adhesion.

Das Mittel zur Erzeugung des Gas-, insbesondere Luftstroms kann aus einem beliebigen Werkstoff hergestellt werden, wobei es vorzugsweise aus Metall, insbesondere aus Stahl gefertigt ist.The means for generating the gas, in particular air stream can be made of any material, wherein it is preferably made of metal, in particular made of steel.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Mittel ein Vorsprung, der auf der dem Lebensmittelriegel abgewandten Seite des Schneidmessers vorgesehen ist. Beispielsweise kann es sich bei dem Mittel um ein Blechteil handeln, das an dem Schreibmesser, beispielweise stoffschlüssig, insbesondere durch Schweißen oder Kleben und/oder kraft- und/oder formschlüssig, beispielsweise mittels Schrauben, Nieten oder dergleichen, befestigt wird. Besonders bevorzugt sind das Schneidmesser und das Mittel einstückig vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise wird das Mittel durch eine lokale Materialanhäufung oder durch Umformen des Materials, aus dem das Schneidmesser gefertigt ist, erzeugt. Insbesondere handelt es sich bei dem Mittel um eine Ausbuchtung, die in der Oberfläche des Schneidmessers vorgesehen wird.According to the invention, the means is a projection which is provided on the side facing away from the food bar side of the cutting blade. For example, the means may be a sheet metal part which is fastened to the writing knife, for example by material bonding, in particular by welding or gluing and / or positive and / or positive locking, for example by means of screws, rivets or the like. Particularly preferably, the cutting blade and the means are provided in one piece. Preferably, the agent is produced by local accumulation of material or by reshaping the material from which the cutting blade is made. In particular, the means is a bulge provided in the surface of the cutting blade.

Ein weiterer Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Aufschneidevorrichtung, an der das erfindungsgemäße Schneidmesser angeordnet ist.Another object of the present invention is a slicing device on which the cutting blade according to the invention is arranged.

Die zu diesem Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung gemachten Ausführungen gelten für die anderen Gegenstände der vorliegenden Erfindung gleichermaßen und umgekehrt.The statements made on this subject of the present invention apply equally to the other objects of the present invention and vice versa.

Noch ein Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Aufschneiden eines oder mehrerer Lebensmittelriegel, bei dem ein rotierendes Schneidmesser, das an einer Messeraufnahme angeordnet ist, eine Vielzahl von Lebensmittelscheiben von einem oder mehrerer Lebensmittelriegel abtrennt, wobei zwischen zwei Lebensmittelscheiben ein Interleaver angeordnet wird, bei dem der Interleaver durch einen von einem an dem Schneidmesser und/oder der Messeraufnahme angeordneten Mittel erzeugten Luftstrom an eine Lebensmittelscheibe angelegt wird.Yet another object of the present invention is a method for slicing one or more food bars, in which a rotating cutting knife, which is arranged on a knife holder, a plurality of food slices separated from one or more food bars, wherein between two food slices an interleaver is arranged the interleaver is applied to a food disc by a stream of air generated by means disposed on the cutting blade and / or the knife receiving means.

Die zu diesem Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung gemachten Ausführungen gelten für die anderen Gegenstände der vorliegenden Erfindung gleichermaßen und umgekehrt.The statements made on this subject of the present invention apply equally to the other objects of the present invention and vice versa.

Vorzugsweise wird mittels des/der Gas- insbesondere Luftstrom/ströme, mindestens ein zusätzlicher Stoff auf die Messer- und/oder Produktoberfläche, beispielsweise ein Desinfektions-/Reinigungsmittel oder ein Austauschgas aufgebracht.Preferably, by means of the gas / air streams / streams, at least one additional substance is applied to the knife and / or product surface, for example a disinfectant / cleaning agent or a replacement gas.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Figuren 1 - 2 erläutert. Diese Erläuterungen sind lediglich beispielhaft und schränken den allgemeinen Erfindungsgedanken nicht ein. Die Erläuterungen gelten für alle Gegenstände der vorliegenden Erfindung gleichermaßen.

In the following, the invention is based on the Figures 1 - 2 explained. These explanations are merely exemplary and do not limit the general inventive concept. The explanations apply equally to all articles of the present invention.
FIG. 1
shows the slicing device according to the invention.
Figures 2
shows an embodiment of the cutting blade according to the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform einer Aufschneidevorrichtung. Die Aufschneidevorrichtung 5 weist ein Messer 11 auf, das einen Lebensmittelriegel 2 in Lebensmittelscheiben 12 schneidet. Dazu wird jeder Lebensmittelriegel 2 mit einem Fördermittel 4, hier zwei Förderbändern 4, kontinuierlich oder intermittierend in Richtung der Schneidebene 6 des Messers 11 transportiert. Nach dem Abschneiden fallen die Lebensmittelscheiben in der Regel auf einen Ablagetisch 1, der mit Transportmitteln versehen ist, auf dem sie zu jeweils einer Portion 14, hier einem Stapel, konfiguriert werden. Diese Portionen 14 werden sodann aus dem Schneidmesserbereich abtransportiert und danach verpackt. Der Fachmann erkennt, dass mehrere Lebensmittelriegel gleichzeitig aufgeschnitten werden können. Die Scheibenstärke ergibt sich aus der Vorschubstrecke des Lebensmittelriegels zwischen zwei Schnitten. Bei konstanter Messerdrehgeschwindigkeit erfolgt die Regelung der Scheibenstärke über die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit des Lebensmittelriegels. Die Aufschneidevorrichtung kann pro Vorschubtrasse einen Greifer (nicht dargestellt) aufweisen, der das rückwärtige Ende 13 des Lebensmittelriegels 2 vor oder während des Aufschneidens ergreift und diesen während des Aufschneidens stabilisiert.
Erfindungsgemäß ist an dem Schneidmesser ein Mittel 3, hier mindestens ein Vorsprung, vorgesehen, das mit dem Schneidmesser 11 mit derselben Drehzahl korotiert und dabei einen Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, erzeugt, der die zumindest teilweise, insbesondere vollständig abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheibe in einer gewünschten Form stabilisiert und/oder formt. Der Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, strömt dazu vorzugsweise entlang der dem Lebensmittelriegel zugewandten Seite der Lebensmittelscheibe entlang, insbesondere zwischen der Lebensmittelscheibe und dem Schneidmesser. Der Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom kann impulsartig und/oder kontinuierlich sein. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a cutting device according to the invention. The slicing device 5 has a knife 11 which cuts a food bar 2 into food slices 12. For this purpose, each food bar 2 with a conveyor 4, here two conveyor belts 4, continuously or intermittently transported in the direction of the cutting plane 6 of the blade 11. After cutting the food slices usually fall on a storage table 1, which is provided with means of transport, on which they are each configured to a portion 14, here a stack. These portions 14 are then removed from the cutting blade area and then packed. The person skilled in the art recognizes that several food bars can be cut open at the same time. The slice thickness results from the feed distance of the food bar between two cuts. At a constant blade rotation speed, the regulation of the slice thickness is carried out via the feed speed of the food bar. The slicing device may have one gripper (not shown) for each feed line, which grips the rear end 13 of the food bar 2 before or during the slicing process and stabilizes it during the slicing process.
According to the invention, a means 3, in this case at least one projection, is provided on the cutting blade, which corotates with the cutting blade 11 at the same speed and generates a gas, in particular air flow, which stabilizes the at least partially, in particular completely cut, food disc in a desired shape and / or shapes. For this purpose, the gas, in particular air stream, preferably flows along the side of the food disc facing the food bar, in particular between the food disc and the cutting blade. The gas, in particular air flow can be pulsed and / or continuous.

Figur 2 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Schneidmessers 11 hier eines Kreismessers. Dieses weist eine Schneidkante 7 auf, mit der die Lebensmittelscheibe 12 von dem Lebensmittelriegel 2 abgetrennt wird. Das Kreismesser dreht sich während des Schneidens sowohl um seine Mittelachse 15 als auch um eine Orbitalachse (nicht dargestellt), wobei die Drehzahl des Schneidmessers 11 um seine Mittelachse 15 vorzugsweise ein Vielfaches seiner Drehzahl um die Orbitalachse beträgt. Erfindungsgemäß weist das Schneidmesser ein Mittel 3 auf, mit dem während seiner Drehung, insbesondere um seine Mittelachse 15 ein Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, erzeugt wird. Dieser vorzugsweise impulsartige und/oder kontinuierliche Luftstrom formt und/oder stabilisiert jede zumindest teilweise abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheibe, insbesondere während ihres Fluges auf den Ablagetisch. Durch den Luftstrom kann die abgeschnittene Lebensmittelscheibe beispielsweise in einer im Wesentlichen planen Form gehalten werden, was beispielsweise für eine gestapelte oder geschindelte Portion von Vorteil ist. Mit dem Gas-, insbesondere Luftstrom, ist es jedoch auch möglich die Lebensmittelscheibe, insbesondere während ihres Fluges auf den Ablagetisch, zu formen beispielsweise zu falten und/oder zu wellen. In dem vorliegenden Fall ist das Mittel ein Vorsprung, der auf der dem Lebensmittelriegel abgewandten Seite des Schneidmessers angeordnet ist. Bei dem Mittel 3 kann es sich um ein Blechteil handeln, das beispielsweise durch Schweißen, Kleben und/oder mittels Schrauben, Nieten oder dergleichen an dem Schneidmesser 11 befestigt wird. Vorzugsweise ist das Mittel 3 jedoch einstückig mit dem Schneidmesser vorgesehen und kann beispielsweise durch Umformen, beispielsweise eine Ausbuchtung oder eine Materialanhäufung, aus dem Material des Schneidmessers gefertigt werden. Die einstückige Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Schneidmessers hat sich als besonders hygienisch herausgestellt. FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the cutting blade 11 according to the invention here a circular blade. This has a cutting edge 7, with the food disc 12 is separated from the food bar 2. The circular blade rotates during cutting both about its central axis 15 and about an orbital axis (not shown), wherein the speed of the cutting blade 11 about its central axis 15 is preferably a multiple of its speed around the orbital axis. According to the invention, the cutting blade has a means 3, with which during its rotation, in particular about its central axis 15, a gas, in particular air flow, is generated. This preferably pulse-like and / or continuous air flow forms and / or stabilizes each at least partially cut food disc, especially during its flight to the tray table. By the air flow, the cut food disc can be kept, for example in a substantially planar shape, which is for example for a stacked or shingled portion of advantage. However, with the gas, in particular air flow, it is also possible to shape, for example, to fold and / or to wave the food slice, in particular during its flight onto the delivery table. In the present case, the means is a projection which is arranged on the side facing away from the food latch side of the cutting blade. The means 3 may be a sheet metal part which is fastened to the cutting blade 11, for example, by welding, gluing and / or by means of screws, rivets or the like. Preferably, however, the means 3 is provided integrally with the cutting blade and can be made, for example, by forming, for example, a bulge or a material accumulation, from the material of the cutting blade. The one-piece embodiment of the cutting blade according to the invention has been found to be particularly hygienic.
