Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schneidmaschine, mit der sich Brot, Käse und dergleichen strangförmige Lebensmittel maschinell in beliebig dicke Scheiben schneiden lassen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schneidmaschine kann es sich insbesondere um eine Rundmessermaschine oder eine Gatterschneidmaschine handeln.The invention relates to a cutting machine with which can be cut into arbitrarily thick slices of bread, cheese and the like string-shaped food. The cutting machine according to the invention may in particular be a circular blade machine or a gate cutting machine.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus der DE 198 20 004 C2 ist eine Rundmessermaschine zum Schneiden eines Lebensmittel-Stranges in Scheiben bekannt. Diese Schneidmaschine besitzt ein kreisförmiges Schneidmesser, das um seine zentrale Achse rotieren und zusätzlich in einer Kreisbahn umhergeschwenkt werden kann. Bei dieser Schwenkbewegung wird es durch das in Scheiben zu schneidende strangförmige Lebensmittel hindurchgeführt. Das strangförmige Lebensmittel wird in einem kanalartigen Schacht dem Schneidmesser zugeführt und in Scheiben zerschnitten. Die geschnittenen Scheiben werden auf einer dem Schneidmesser in Förderrichtung nachgeordneten Lagerfläche stehend gespeichert.From the DE 198 20 004 C2 is a round knife machine for cutting a sliced strand of food known. This cutting machine has a circular cutting blade, which rotate about its central axis and can also be swung around in a circular path. In this pivoting movement, it is passed through the sliced food to be cut in slices. The rope-shaped food is supplied to the cutting blade in a channel-like shaft and cut into slices. The cut slices are stored standing on a downstream of the cutting blade in the conveying direction bearing surface.

Entsprechend der EP 2 045 053 A2 ist vorgesehen, dass die Lagerfläche für die geschnittenen Scheiben und die Lagerfläche für den noch nicht in Scheiben geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Strang in einer Ebene liegen, die schräg im Raum ausgerichtet ist. Zusätzlich dazu kann die Lagereinrichtung für die geschnittenen Scheiben vibrieren. Dadurch lässt sich die jeweils geschnittene Scheibe leicht von dem Schneidmesser lösen und haftet nicht an demselben an.According to the EP 2 045 053 A2 it is envisaged that the storage area for the cut slices and the storage area for the not yet sliced food strand lie in a plane that is oriented obliquely in space. In addition, the bearing means for the cut slices may vibrate. As a result, each cut slice can be easily detached from the cutting blade and does not adhere to the same.

Aus der DE 20 2006 013 561 U1 ist eine Gatterschneidmaschine für Lebensmittel wie insbesondere Brot bekannt. Die Gatterschneidmaschine besitzt einen motorischen Antrieb für einen Vorschubbalken, mit dem ein Lebensmittel durch eine Schneideinrichtung aus zwei Messergattern motorisch hindurchgeschoben wird. Dieser motorische Antrieb arbeitet kontinuierlich, so dass das Brot mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit durch die Schneideinrichtung hindurch transportiert wird.From the DE 20 2006 013 561 U1 is a gate cutting machine for food such as bread in particular known. The gate cutting machine has a motor drive for a feed bar, with which a food is pushed through a cutting device of two knife gates motorized. This motor drive operates continuously, so that the bread is transported through the cutting device at a constant speed.

Die im Stand der Technik bekannten Schneidmaschinen besitzen in der Regel eine Verpackungsvorrichtung, um die Verpackung des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges zu erleichtern. Dazu wird das geschnittene Lebensmittel auf einer plattenförmigen Ablage platziert. Anschließend kann eine Tüte oder ein Beutel über die Ablage und das geschnittene Lebensmittel gestülpt werden und das Lebensmittel mit der Tüte oder dem Beutel von der Ablage heruntergeschoben werden. Die Ablage ist in der Regel außerhalb des Gehäuses der Schneidmaschine vorhanden, um eine möglichst bequeme Verpackung des Lebensmittels zu ermöglichen. Dadurch fallen insbesondere bei der Verpackung von Brot Krümel in den Bereich außerhalb der Schneidmaschine. Sofern die Schneidmaschine von den Kunden selbst betätigt werden kann, entsteht dadurch ein optisch unvorteilhafter Eindruck, der auch durch vermehrtes Kehren und Putzen vor der Schneidmaschine nicht vollständig aufgehoben werden kann.Known in the prior art cutting machines usually have a packaging device to facilitate the packaging of the cut food strand. For this purpose, the cut food is placed on a plate-shaped tray. Subsequently, a bag or a bag can be put over the tray and the cut food and the food with the bag or bag pushed down from the shelf. The shelf is usually outside the housing of the cutting machine available to allow the most convenient packaging of the food. As a result, crumbs fall into the area outside the cutting machine, in particular when packaging bread. If the cutting machine can be operated by the customers themselves, this creates a visually disadvantageous impression that can not be completely removed even by increased sweeping and cleaning in front of the cutting machine.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem vorbekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Schneidmaschine mit einer Verpackungsvorrichtung anzugeben, bei der möglichst wenig Krümel außerhalb der Schneidmaschine anfallen.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an improved cutting machine with a packaging device, incurred in the least possible crumbs outside of the cutting machine.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schneidmaschine ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gegeben. Sinnvolle Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von sich an den Patentanspruch 1 anschließenden weiteren Ansprüchen.The cutting machine according to the invention is given by the features of claim 1. Useful developments of the invention are the subject of further claims which follow the patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schneidmaschine besitzt zumindest ein Schneidmesser für das strangförmige Lebensmittel. In dem Gehäuse der Schneidmaschine ist ein Einlegebereich für das zu schneidende strangförmige Lebensmittel und ein Entnahmebereich für das geschnittene strangförmige Lebensmittel ausgebildet. Im Entnahmebereich und/oder im Einlegebereich ist erfindungsgemäß eine Verpackungsvorrichtung vorhanden, auf die das geschnittene strangförmige Lebensmittel so aufgelegt werden kann, dass ein Verpackungsbeutel über die Verpackungsvorrichtung und das geschnittene Lebensmittel gestülpt werden kann. Die Verpackungsvorrichtung ist dabei innerhalb des Gehäuses der Schneidmaschine vorhanden.The cutting machine according to the invention has at least one cutting blade for the rope-shaped food. In the housing of the cutting machine, an insertion region for the strand-shaped foodstuff to be cut and a removal region for the cut strand-like foodstuff are formed. In the removal area and / or in the loading area, a packaging device according to the invention is provided on which the cut strand-shaped food can be placed so that a packaging bag can be slipped over the packaging device and the cut food. The packaging device is present within the housing of the cutting machine.

Durch die Anordnung der Verpackungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Gehäuses kann das geschnittene Lebensmittel innerhalb der Schneidmaschine verpackt werden, so dass die beim Verpacken in der Regel anfallenden Krümel in das Gehäuse der Schneidmaschine fallen. In dem Bereich vor der Schneidmaschine sollten daher keine Krümel anfallen, so dass auch bei einem häufigen Gebrauch der Schneidmaschine durch Kunden eines Geschäfts ein optisch ansprechender Eindruck erhalten bleibt.The arrangement of the packaging device within the housing, the cut food can be packaged within the cutting machine, so that the costs incurred in packaging crumbs usually fall into the housing of the cutting machine. In the area in front of the cutting machine, therefore, should be no crumbs, so that even with frequent use of the cutting machine by customers of a business, a visually appealing impression is maintained.

In einer konstruktiv besonders einfachen Ausführungsform kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung an der Innenseite der Gehäuseaußenwand befestigt sein.In a structurally particularly simple embodiment, the packaging device can be fastened to the inside of the housing outer wall.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung beweglich, insbesondere klappbar oder verschwenkbar ausgebildet sein. Die Verpackungsvorrichtung kann dadurch in einer ersten Position etwa waagrecht angeordnet sein, so dass das geschnittene Lebensmittel auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung platziert und in einen Verpackungsbeutel verpackt werden kann. Die etwa waagrechte Ebene der Verpackungsvorrichtung kann dabei in alle Raumrichtungen um bis 20 Grad aus der Horizontalen geneigt vorliegen. Um die Schneidmaschine trotz der Verpackungsvorrichtung einfach reinigen und warten zu können, kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung in einer zweiten Position etwa senkrecht angeordnet sein, so dass der Entnahmebereich frei zugänglich ist. In dieser Position kann die Reinigung oder Wartung der Schneidmaschine und insbesondere des Entnahmebereichs erfolgen.In an advantageous embodiment, the packaging device may be designed to be movable, in particular hinged or pivotable. The packaging device can thereby be arranged approximately horizontally in a first position, so that the cut food can be placed on the packaging device and packaged in a packaging bag. The approximately horizontal plane of the packaging device can in all Spaces are inclined by up to 20 degrees from the horizontal. In order to be able to easily clean and maintain the cutting machine despite the packaging device, the packaging device can be arranged approximately vertically in a second position, so that the removal area is freely accessible. In this position, the cleaning or maintenance of the cutting machine and in particular the removal area can be done.

Um eine Beschädigung der Verpackungsvorrichtung zu vermeiden und eine möglichst störungsfreie Bedienung auch bei ungeschulten Bedienern zu ermöglichen, kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung in ihrem Ruhezustand in der ersten waagrechten Position vorhanden sein. Sobald die Verpackungsvorrichtung nicht mehr in ihrer zweiten, senkrechten Position gehalten wird, bewegt sich diese also wieder in ihre erste, waagrechte Position zurück. Sofern die zweite Position beispielsweise durch Verriegelungsmechanismen fixiert werden kann, kann auch nach Überschreitung einer vorbestimmten Zeit ein Zurückbewegen der Verpackungsvorrichtung erfolgen. Dieses Zurückbewegen kann vorzugsweise gedämpft erfolgen, um das Reinigungs- oder Wartungspersonal nicht zu verletzen.In order to avoid damage to the packaging device and to allow trouble-free operation even with untrained operators, the packaging device may be present in its idle state in the first horizontal position. As soon as the packaging device is no longer held in its second, vertical position, it thus moves back to its first, horizontal position. If the second position can be fixed by locking mechanisms, for example, the packaging device can be moved back even after exceeding a predetermined time. This retraction may preferably be damped so as not to injure the cleaning or maintenance personnel.

Vorzugsweise kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung so beweglich sein, dass der Entnahmebereich der Schneidmaschine zugänglich ist, wenn die Verpackungsvorrichtung aus ihrer Ruheposition hinausbewegt wird. Diese Bewegung kann insbesondere durch ein Klappen oder Verschwenken realisiert werden.Preferably, the packaging device may be movable so that the removal area of the cutting machine is accessible when the packaging device is moved out of its rest position. This movement can be realized in particular by a flap or pivoting.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann die Position der Verpackungsvorrichtung mit der Position der Scheibenstütze für die geschnittenen Scheiben des Lebensmittel-Stranges gekoppelt sein. Dadurch kann bei einer Auslenkung der Scheibenstütze durch den geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Strang aus dessen Ruhestellung heraus die Verpackungsvorrichtung so bewegt werden, dass der Entnahmebereich der Schneidmaschine zugänglich ist. Der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang kann somit bequem und rasch aus dem Entnahmebereich entnommen werden, ohne dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung diese Entnahme erschweren würde. Darüber hinaus kann die Schneidmaschine dadurch kürzer und somit kompakter gebaut werden, da die Verpackungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Entnahmebereichs der Schneidmaschine angeordnet werden kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the position of the packaging device may be coupled to the position of the disk support for the cut slices of the food strand. As a result, during a deflection of the disk support by the cut food strand from its rest position, the packaging device can be moved so that the removal area of the cutting machine is accessible. The cut food strand can thus easily and quickly removed from the sampling area be without the packaging device would make this removal difficult. In addition, the cutting machine can thereby be made shorter and thus more compact, since the packaging device can be arranged within the removal area of the cutting machine.

Bei einer besonders platzsparenden Konstruktion kann die Bewegung der Verpackungsvorrichtung in Richtung der hinteren Gehäusewand der Schneidmaschine erfolgen. Die Verpackungsvorrichtung kann somit nach wie vor innerhalb der Schneidmaschine vorhanden sein, und damit platzsparend verstaut sein.In a particularly space-saving design, the movement of the packaging device can take place in the direction of the rear housing wall of the cutting machine. The packaging device can thus still be present within the cutting machine, and thus be stowed to save space.

Sobald der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang aus dem Entnahmebereich entnommen wurde, fällt die Scheibenstütze wieder in ihre Ruhestellung zurück, so dass sich auch die Verpackungsvorrichtung wieder in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückbewegt. Der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang kann dann bequem auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung abgelegt und anschließend in einer Tüte oder einem Beutel verpackt werden.Once the cut food strand has been removed from the removal area, the disc support falls back into its rest position, so that the packaging device moves back to its original position. The cut food strand can then conveniently be placed on the packaging device and then packaged in a bag or bag.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung eine geneigte Position einnehmen, so dass ein auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung aufliegender Lebensmittel-Strang von der Verpackungsvorrichtung herunterrutschen und in einen Beutel oder eine Tüte hineinrutschen kann. Dieses Rutschen kann manuell unterstützt werden, so dass bereits eine relativ geringe Neigung der Verpackungsvorrichtung ausreichend sein kann. Insbesondere bei einer Bedienung der Schneidmaschine durch Verkaufspersonal ist damit eine besonders hygienische Handhabung des Lebensmittel-Stranges gewährleistet, da dieser kaum noch mit der Hand berührt werden muss.In a further advantageous embodiment, the packaging device can assume an inclined position, so that a food strand resting on the packaging device can slide down from the packaging device and slide into a bag or a bag. This slippage can be supported manually, so that even a relatively small inclination of the packaging device may be sufficient. In particular, in an operation of the cutting machine by sales staff so that a particularly hygienic handling of the food strand is guaranteed, since this barely has to be touched by hand.

Die Verpackungsvorrichtung kann insbesondere gitterförmig oder rostförmig ausgebildet sein. Alternativ dazu kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung auch über eine plattenförmige Auflage verfügen, in der mehrere Schlitze oder sonstige Öffnungen vorhanden sind. Auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung können sich dadurch keine Krümel ansammeln, da diese durch die jeweiligen Öffnungen nach unten in die Schneidmaschine fallen. Dies bietet zum Einen einen optisch ansprechenden Eindruck für die jeweiligen Benutzer, da keine Krümel von dem vorherigen Benutzer mehr auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung vorhanden sind. Darüber hinaus können sich auch keine sonstigen Verunreinigungen auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung ansammeln, so dass ein hygienisch unbedenklicher Zustand der Verpackungsvorrichtung erhalten bleibt.The packaging device may be formed in particular lattice-shaped or rust-shaped. Alternatively, the packaging device may also have a plate-shaped support in which a plurality of slots or other openings are present. On the Packaging device can thereby accumulate no crumbs as they fall through the respective openings down into the cutting machine. This offers on the one hand a visually appealing impression for the respective users, since no crumbs are more present on the packaging device by the previous user. In addition, no other impurities can accumulate on the packaging device, so that a hygienically safe state of the packaging device is maintained.

Vorzugsweise kann im Boden des Entnahmebereich der Schneidmaschine zumindest ein Schlitz oder eine sonstige Öffnung vorhanden sein. Durch diesen Schlitz oder diese Öffnung können die bei der Entnahme oder der Verpackung des geschnittenen Lebensmittels anfallenden Krümel in den Innenraum des Gehäuses der Schneidmaschine durchfallen, so dass sich auch im Entnahmebereich der Schneidmaschine keine Krümel ansammeln können. Im Innenraum des Gehäuses können die Krümel beispielsweise in einer Krümelwanne oder Krümelschublade gesammelt werden. In einer solchen Krümelwanne oder Krümelschublade können auch die bei dem Schneidvorgang anfallenden Krümel gesammelt werden.Preferably, at least one slot or another opening may be present in the bottom of the removal area of the cutting machine. Through this slot or opening, the resulting in the removal or packaging of the cut food crumbs fall through into the interior of the housing of the cutting machine, so that even in the removal area of the cutting machine can not accumulate crumbs. In the interior of the housing, the crumbs can be collected for example in a crumb tray or crumb tray. In such a crumb tray or crumb tray and the costs incurred in the cutting crumbs can be collected.

Die Verpackungsvorrichtung kann insbesondere oberhalb des Produktauflagebereichs des Entnahme- beziehungsweise Einlegebereichs der Schneidmaschine vorhanden sein.The packaging device may in particular be present above the product contact area of the removal or insertion area of the cutting machine.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schneidmaschine handelt es sich um eine automatische Schneidmaschine für den gewerblichen Gebrauch, insbesondere in Bäckereien, in Bäckereifilialen, in Backshops oder in Selbstbedienungs-Verkaufsstellen, beispielsweise im Supermarkt oder im Discounter.

WEGE ZUM AUSFÜHREN DER ERFINDUNGWAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Die erfindungsgemäße Schneidmaschine 10 ist im vorliegenden Beispielsfall als Rundmessermaschine mit einem nicht näher dargestellten Kreismesser ausgebildet. Das Kreismesser ist in üblicher Art und Weise an einem Schwingarm gelagert, welcher durch einen motorischen Antrieb bewegt wird. Durch den motorischen Antrieb ist auch eine Rotation des Kreismessers möglich.The cutting machine 10 according to the invention is formed in the present example case as a circular knife machine with a circular blade, not shown. The circular blade is mounted in a conventional manner on a swing arm, which is moved by a motor drive. The motor drive also allows rotation of the circular blade.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schneidmaschine 10 kann entsprechend den Fig. 2 bis 4 unterhalb eines Verkaufsregals 12 platziert werden. Die Breite der Schneidmaschine 10 kann an die Breite von verschiedenen Verkaufsregalen 12 angepasst werden. Der unterste Fachboden 14 des Verkaufsregals 12 ragt dabei nur so weit über die Schneidmaschine 10 über, dass die Schneidmaschine 10 nach wie vor von oben zugänglich ist.The cutting machine 10 according to the invention can according to the Fig. 2 to 4 be placed below a shelf 12. The width of the slicer 10 may be adjusted to the width of various shelves 12. The bottom shelf 14 of the shelf 12 protrudes only so far on the cutting machine 10 that the cutting machine 10 is still accessible from above.

Die Schneidmaschine 10 besitzt eine untere Kanalwand 20, die die Unterseite eines zu zerschneidendes Lebensmittels aufnehmen kann. Die untere Kanalwand 20 ist im vorliegenden Beispielsfall leicht nach vorne geneigt vorhanden. Die untere Kanalwand 20 ist etwa rechtwinklig zu einer vorderen Kanalwand 22 vorhanden. Der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang 16 und der zu schneidende Lebensmittel-Strang liegen dadurch einerseits auf der unteren Kanalwand 20 und andererseits an der vorderen Kanalwand 22 an. Der Neigungswinkel der unteren Kanalwand 20 sollte vorzugsweise zwischen 5 Grad und 50 Grad liegen. Dies bedeutet, dass die vordere Kanalwand 22 von der Vorderseite her in das Innere der Schneidmaschine 10 hineingeneigt ist. Die untere Kanalwand 20 und die vordere Kanalwand 22 bilden damit eine nach unten rechtwinklig zulaufende V-förmige Lagerfläche für das noch nicht geschnittene Lebensmittel einerseits und für die geschnittenen Scheiben des betreffenden Lebensmittels andererseits.The cutting machine 10 has a lower channel wall 20 which can receive the underside of a food to be cut. The lower channel wall 20 is slightly inclined forward in the present example. The lower channel wall 20 is approximately at right angles to a front channel wall 22. The cut food strand 16 and the food strand to be cut thereby rest on the one hand on the lower channel wall 20 and on the other hand on the front channel wall 22. The inclination angle of the lower channel wall 20 should preferably be between 5 degrees and 50 degrees. This means that the front channel wall 22 is inclined from the front into the interior of the cutting machine 10. The lower channel wall 20 and the front channel wall 22 thus form a downwardly perpendicular tapered V-shaped bearing surface for the not yet cut food on the one hand and for the cut slices of the food concerned on the other.

Die untere Kanalwand 20 weist einen etwa senkrecht ausgebildeten Schlitz 24 für das Kreismesser auf. Bei der Rotation der Antriebsscheibe wandert das Kreismesser durch den Schlitz 24 in der unteren Kanalwand 20, so dass das im Bereich des Schlitzes 24 vorhandene Lebensmittel an dieser Stelle zertrennt wird. Bezogen auf die Zeichnung entsteht dann links von diesem Schlitz 24 eine Lebensmittelscheibe. Rechts von dem Schlitz 24 ist das Lebensmittel noch unzertrennt vorhanden. Zum Zerschneiden wird der Lebensmittel-Strang durch einen Transportschieber 26 in Richtung auf den Schlitz 24 geschoben. Dazu besitzt der Transportschieber 26 mehrere nebeneinander liegenden Krallen, die beim Schneidvorgang von oben in das Ende des Lebensmittels ausreichend fest hineinstechen. Der in der Zeichnung rechte Bereich der unteren Kanalwand 20 ist somit als Einlegebereich 28 für das zu schneidende Lebensmittel ausgebildet.The lower channel wall 20 has an approximately perpendicular slot 24 for the circular blade. During the rotation of the drive disc, the circular blade moves through the slot 24 in the lower channel wall 20 so that the food present in the region of the slot 24 is severed at this point. Referring to the drawing then arises to the left of this slot 24 a food slice. To the right of the slot 24, the food is still undivided. For cutting the food strand is pushed by a transport slider 26 in the direction of the slot 24. For this purpose, the transport slider 26 has a plurality of adjacent claws, which in the cutting process from above into the end of the Squeeze food sufficiently firmly. The right in the drawing area of the lower channel wall 20 is thus formed as an insertion region 28 for the food to be cut.

Um ein Umfallen der geschnittenen Scheiben des Lebensmittel-Stranges zu verhindern, ist hinter dem Schlitz 24 eine Scheibenstütze 30 angeordnet. Die Scheibenstütze 30 ist an einer Achse verschwenkbar gelagert, so dass nachfolgende Scheiben die Scheibenstütze 30 entsprechend verschieben können. Der in der Zeichnung linke Bereich der unteren Kanalwand 20 ist somit als Entnahmebereich 32 zum Lagern der geschnittenen Scheiben des Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 und zum Entnehmen desselben ausgebildet.In order to prevent falling of the cut slices of the food strand, behind the slot 24, a disc support 30 is arranged. The disk support 30 is pivotably mounted on an axis so that subsequent disks can move the disk support 30 accordingly. The left in the drawing region of the lower channel wall 20 is thus formed as a removal region 32 for storing the cut slices of the food strand 16 and for removing the same.

Im vorliegenden Beispielsfall weist die untere Kanalwand 20 an ihrer in der Zeichnung linken Seite - im Bereich des Entnahmebereichs 32 mehrere Schlitze 34 auf. Durch diese Schlitze 34 können die beim Schneiden und Verpacken des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 anfallenden Krümel in eine unterhalb der unteren Kanalwand 20 vorhandene Krümelwanne fallen, so dass der Entnahmebereich 32 verhältnismäßig sauber bleibt.In the present example case, the lower channel wall 20 on its left side in the drawing - in the region of the removal region 32 a plurality of slots 34. By means of these slots 34, the crumbs arising during cutting and packaging of the cut food strand 16 can fall into a crumb tray present below the lower channel wall 20, so that the removal area 32 remains relatively clean.

Im Entnahmebereich 32 ist darüber hinaus eine Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 vorhanden. Die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 besteht im vorliegenden Beispielsfall aus einem Rost 42, der an der Innenseite 44 der Außenwand 46 des Gehäuses 48 der Schneidmaschine befestigt ist. Die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 ist somit vollständig innerhalb des Gehäuses 48 der Schneidmaschine 10 vorhanden. Bei geschlossener Schneidmaschine 10 - beispielsweise während eines Schneidvorgangs oder im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Schneidmaschine 10 - steht die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 somit nicht über die Schneidmaschine 10 über, so dass diese nicht beschädigt werden kann. Gleichzeitig kann es auch nicht zu Verletzungen von Personen durch die herausragende Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 kommen.In addition, a packaging device 40 is present in the removal region 32. The packaging device 40 in the present example consists of a grate 42 which is fixed to the inside 44 of the outer wall 46 of the housing 48 of the cutting machine. The packaging device 40 is thus completely present within the housing 48 of the cutting machine 10. When the cutting machine 10 is closed, for example during a cutting operation or when the cutting machine 10 is switched off, the packaging device 40 thus does not overflow the cutting machine 10 so that it can not be damaged. At the same time, personal injury from the protruding packaging device 40 can not occur.

Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die innerhalb des Gehäuses 48 der Schneidmaschine 10 angeordnete Verpackungsvorrichtung 40, dass die beim Verpackungsvorgang anfallenden Krümel innerhalb der Schneidmaschine 10 landen und nicht in den Bereich vor der Schneidmaschine 10 fallen. Dadurch ergibt sich auch bei einem häufigen Gebrauch der Schneidmaschine 10 durch weniger geübte Bediener wie beispielsweise durch Kunden eines Selbstbedienungs-Bereichs ein optisch ansprechender Eindruck.Moreover, the packaging device 40 disposed within the housing 48 of the cutting machine 10 allows the crumbs accumulating during the packaging process to land inside the cutting machine 10 and not fall into the area in front of the cutting machine 10. This results in a visually appealing impression even with frequent use of the cutting machine 10 by less experienced operators such as customers of a self-service area.

Der Rost 42 ist im vorliegenden Beispielsfall aus mehreren Stangen 50 gebildet. Im Gegensatz dazu könnte die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 auch ein Ablagegitter oder eine Ablageplatte aufweisen. Auf diesen Rost 42 kann der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang 16 gemäß Fig. 3 aufgelegt werden. Anschließend kann eine Verpackung, insbesondere ein Beutel oder eine Tüte, so über den Rost 42 gestülpt werden, dass die geschnittenen Scheiben des Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 in der Verpackung zu liegen kommen. Anschließend kann die Verpackung mitsamt den geschnittenen Scheiben von dem Rost 42 hinuntergeschoben werden. Auch weniger geübte Bediener der Schneidmaschine - beispielsweise bei einer Aufstellung der Schneidmaschine im Selbstbedienungsbereich - können somit ohne größeren Aufwand die geschnittenen Scheiben des Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 verpacken.The grate 42 is formed in the present example of several rods 50. In contrast, the packaging device 40 could also include a storage grid or shelf. On this grid 42, the cut food strand 16 according to Fig. 3 be hung up. Subsequently, a packaging, in particular a bag or a bag, can be placed over the grid 42 so that the cut slices of the food strand 16 come to rest in the packaging. Subsequently, the package can be pushed down together with the cut slices of the grid 42. Even less experienced operators of the cutting machine - for example, when setting up the cutting machine in the self-service area - can thus pack the cut slices of food strand 16 without much effort.

Durch die Ausbildung der Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 als Rost 42 können sich auch auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 keine Krümel ansammeln. Die beim kurzfristigen Lagern des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 auf dem Rost 42 und beim Verpacken des Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 anfallenden Krümel fallen von dem Rost 42 auf die untere Kanalwand 20 der Schneidmaschine 10 und von dort durch die Schlitze 34 in das Innere der Schneidmaschine 10, wo sie beispielsweise in einer Krümelwanne gesammelt werden können. Durch eine Tür 52 in der Vorderwand 54 des Gehäuses 48 kann diese Krümelwanne in regelmäßigen Abständen geleert und gereinigt werden. Auch bei einer Ausbildung der Verpackungsvorrichtung als Gitter oder als Ablageplatte mit mehreren Öffnungen könnten sich auf dieser keine Krümel ansammeln.Due to the design of the packaging device 40 as a grate 42, no crumbs can accumulate on the packaging device 40. The crumbs resulting from short-term storage of the cut food strand 16 on the grid 42 and during packaging of the food strand 16 fall from the grid 42 to the lower channel wall 20 of the cutting machine 10 and from there through the slots 34 to the interior of the cutting machine 10 where they can be collected, for example, in a crumb tray. Through a door 52 in the front wall 54 of the housing 48, this crumb tray can be emptied and cleaned at regular intervals. Even with a design of the packaging device as a grid or as a shelf with several openings could accumulate on this no crumbs.

Im vorliegenden Beispielsfall ist die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 klappbar ausgebildet. Der Rost 42 kann somit in einer ersten Position, die in den Figuren 1 und 3 dargestellt ist, etwa waagrecht und somit parallel zum Entnahmebereich 32 der Schneidmaschine 10 vorhanden sein. Die etwa waagrechte Ebene der Verpackungsvorrichtung kann dabei in alle Raumrichtungen um bis 20 Grad aus der Horizontalen geneigt vorliegen. In dieser ersten Position erfolgt das Verpacken des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges 16. In dieser ersten Position ist die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 vollständig innerhalb des Gehäuses 48 der Schneidmaschine 10 vorhanden. Allerdings wird der Entnahmebereich 32 in dieser Position teilweise durch die Verpackungsvorrichtung verdeckt.In the present example, the packaging device 40 is designed to be foldable. The grate 42 can thus in a first position, in the FIGS. 1 and 3 is shown approximately horizontally and thus parallel to the removal region 32 of the cutting machine 10 may be present. The approximately horizontal plane of the packaging device can be inclined in all spatial directions by up to 20 degrees from the horizontal. In this first position, the sliced food strand 16 is packaged. In this first position, the packaging device 40 is fully contained within the housing 48 of the slicer 10. However, the removal area 32 in this position is partially hidden by the packaging device.

Um den Entnahmebereich 32 beispielsweise zu Wartungs- oder Reinigungszwecken möglichst frei zugänglich zu machen, kann der Rost 42 daher nach oben geklappt werden, wie dies in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. In dieser zweiten, etwa senkrechten Position ist der Entnahmebereich 32 frei zugänglich. Sofern die Schneidmaschine 10 etwas schmaler ausgebildet sein sollte als in dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, kann in dieser zweiten Position auch das Entnehmen des geschnittenen Lebensmittels erfolgen. Anschließend kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 automatisch wieder nach unten klappen, so dass auch in diesem Fall eine Ablage des geschnittenen Lebensmittels auf dem Rost 42 möglich wäre.In order to make the removal area 32 as freely accessible, for example, for maintenance or cleaning purposes, the grate 42 can therefore be folded upwards, as in Fig. 4 is shown. In this second, approximately vertical position, the removal area 32 is freely accessible. If the cutting machine 10 should be made slightly narrower than in the embodiment shown in the drawing, in this second position, the removal of the cut food can also take place. Subsequently, the packaging device 40 automatically fold down again, so that even in this case, a storage of the cut food on the grid 42 would be possible.

Um zu verhindern, dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 in dieser zweiten Position gemäß Fig. 4 verbleibt und damit den regulären Betrieb der Schneidmaschine behindert, weil die obere Abdeckung 56 der Schneidmaschine 10 nicht geschlossen werden kann, kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 automatisch nach unten klappen, sobald diese nicht mehr manuell festgehalten wird.In order to prevent the packaging device 40 in this second position according to Fig. 4 remains and thus hinders the regular operation of the cutting machine because the top cover 56 of the cutting machine 10 can not be closed, the packaging device 40 can automatically fold down as soon as it is no longer manually held.

Die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 kann darüber hinaus im vorliegenden Beispielsfall nach hinten in Richtung der hinteren Gehäusewand 58 bewegt werden (siehe Fig. 2) Diese Bewegung der Verpackungsvorrichtung ist im vorliegenden Beispielsfall an die Auslenkung der Scheibenstütze 30 gekoppelt. Wird die Scheibenstütze 30 durch einen geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Strang 16 entsprechend Fig. 2 aus ihrer in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ruhestellung ausgelenkt, erfolgt ein Verschwenken der Verpackungsvorrichtung 40. Dadurch kann der geschnittene Lebensmittel-Strang 16 aus dem Entnahmebereich 32 der Schneidmaschine 10 entnommen werden, ohne dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 dies behindern würde. Der Entnahmebereich 32 ist dadurch kurzfristig zugänglich. Nach der Entnahme des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 aus dem Entnahmebereich 32 fällt die Scheibenstütze 30 wieder in ihre Ruhestellung zurück, so dass auch die Verpackungsvorrichtung 40 wieder in ihre Position oberhalb des Entnahmebereichs 32 zurückverschwenkt wird. Dies ermöglicht ein einfaches Ablegen des geschnittenen Lebensmittel-Stranges 16 auf der Verpackungsvorrichtung.The packaging device 40 can also be moved in the present example case to the rear in the direction of the rear housing wall 58 (see Fig. 2 ) This movement of the packaging device is coupled in the present example case to the deflection of the disc support 30. If the disc support 30 by a cut food strand 16 accordingly Fig. 2 from her in Fig. 3 As a result, the cut food strand 16 can be removed from the removal region 32 of the cutting machine 10 without the packaging device 40 hindering this. The removal area 32 is thus accessible at short notice. After removal of the cut food strand 16 from the removal region 32, the disk support 30 falls back into its rest position, so that the packaging device 40 is pivoted back into its position above the removal region 32. This allows easy placement of the cut food strand 16 on the packaging device.

Im Gegensatz zu dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel könnte es sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schneidmaschine auch um eine Gatterschneidmaschine handeln.In contrast to the embodiment shown in the drawing, it could also be a gate cutting machine in the cutting machine according to the invention.
