Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feeding device for feeding food products to a slicing unit with at least one conveyor belt as a product support, which has a drive for a loading operation. In loading operation, the products reach the conveyor belt.
  • the food products may be, for example, sausage, ham, cheese, meat, bread or the like.
  • the slicing unit comprises in particular a rotary blade and / or a planetary rotating cutting blade, in particular a circular or sickle blade.
  • the feeder includes a product holder associated with the conveyor belt that provides feed of the product in a feed operation.
  • each track independently operable tractor belts or product holder, which determine the feed. At times, there is a slight slip between the bottom of the product and the product overlay, as the products are moved relative to the product overlay.
  • multi-lane feeding devices are known in which the loading takes place laterally.
  • the disadvantage of this is that the products are twisted during loading, tilted and / or rubbed off when they are moved from the lateral loading position parallel to the feed direction to the respective track.
  • the product holder has at least one coupling device which is designed to couple the product holder for the feed operation with the conveyor belt, so that the product holder provides for a feed of the conveyor belt.
  • the loading of the conveyor belt can be done with products in a central area, i. the loading can be done from the upstream side of the feeder.
  • the products to be sliced reach from the loading side, ie in the feed direction, into the slicing position.
  • the feeder designed in this way as extremely compact. Also, the products are not twisted during loading, tilted and / or rubbed off. According to the invention, a different drive is used in particular for loading the products than for feeding to the slicing unit.
  • the product holder and the conveyor belt stand together in contact.
  • the product holder in this case moves the conveyor belt in the feed direction. In this way, slippage between the product and the conveyor belt can be avoided.
  • the product holder thus preferably simultaneously moves both the product and the conveyor belt in the direction of the slicing unit.
  • a relative movement between the product and the product support is avoided by the intermediate coupling. This coupling can exist in the feed operation at least temporarily and / or at least over a partial section of the feed path.
  • the food products can be fed to the slicing unit in multiple lanes. Furthermore, a plurality of juxtaposed conveyor belts are provided.
  • the drive is designed to drive the conveyor belts together in loading operation. Each track is assigned an individually movable product holder.
  • the products can be driven on the conveyor belts arranged next to one another by the common drive. Consequently, in particular, a single belt drive drives all tracks at the same time in order to move the products completely in the direction of the slicing unit onto the respective conveyor belt.
  • the common drive can be arranged at any point or on any roller, then in particular a drive roller, the conveyor belts. In this way, individual drives can be saved for the loading operation, which costs can be reduced.
  • the product holders are coupled in feed mode with the respective conveyor belts and move the products as well as the conveyor belts track-individually.
  • the conveyor belts can preferably be stored independently of each other. This enables a track-specific product feed. The feed itself takes place in the feed operation, however, via the linear movement of the product holder.
  • each product holder may comprise a linear drive.
  • the product holder can be designed, for example, as a gripper with claws, as a vacuum gripper and / or as a slide.
  • the coupling device couples the product holder to the associated conveyor belt in a non-positive and / or positive fit.
  • the coupling device may for example comprise a clamping device.
  • the coupling device comprises an engagement device for engaging in a recess of the conveyor belt.
  • the engagement device can engage, for example, in at least one perforation, a recess and / or a grid in the edge region of the conveyor belt.
  • suction coupling device also designed as a suction coupling device, as well as the use of magnetic forces, in particular for clamping the conveyor belt.
  • the coupling takes place on at least one side of the conveyor belt, ie in particular outside the actual product support area.
  • the coupling can also take place on both sides of the conveyor belt.
  • the coupling device can correspond in particular to the edge of the conveyor belt. In principle, however, it is also possible that the coupling at any point of the conveyor belt, e.g. in the middle, takes place.
  • the coupling device comprises at least one adjustable coupling element, which is adjustable between a release position for the loading operation and a coupling position for the feed operation.
  • the coupling element can in this case in particular be rotated in order to couple to the conveyor belt. In the case of an opposite rotation, the coupling with the conveyor belt can in particular be released again.
  • the adjusting movement may alternatively or additionally comprise a height adjustment. For example, the distance of the coupling element relative to the product holder can be adjusted in order to clamp the conveyor belt between the coupling element and the product holder.
  • the adjustment of the coupling element can take place simultaneously with another function of the product holder, e.g. with an actuation of the claws, so that only one drive or only one actuator is necessary.
  • the drive has a, in particular track-specific, freewheeling function for the feed operation, wherein preferably for Each track or each conveyor belt is provided a freewheel bearing.
  • the freewheeling function ensures that the conveyor belt is decoupled from the common drive in the feed mode. The conveyor belt is thus moved only over the product holder. In loading operation, however, the freewheeling function is deactivated, so that the conveyor belt is driven by the common drive.
  • the freewheel bearing may, for example, having loaded with springs balls, which enable or block the freewheel.
  • the conveyor belts are decoupled from the common drive, in particular in the feed direction.
  • the conveyor belts for the loading operation are oriented at least substantially horizontally and for the feed operation in a position inclined relative to the horizontal.
  • the delivery device may in this case in particular comprise a lifting arm.
  • the conveyor belts are to, in particular central, loading products in a horizontal position.
  • the conveyor belts may be inclined, e.g. usually around 40 °. In this oblique position, the cutting takes place.
  • the adjustment of the coupling element can be coordinated in particular with the up and / or down pivoting of the lifting arm.
  • the invention also relates to a slicing apparatus, in particular high-performance slicer, for slicing food products.
  • the invention relates to a method for feeding food products to a slicing unit, wherein in a loading operation at least one conveyor belt is driven by a drive, a product holder is associated with the conveyor belt and in a feed operation for a feed of the product and the product holder for feed operation couples to the conveyor belt so that the product holder provides for advancement of the conveyor belt.
  • the coupling is made with the beginning of the movement of the product holder in the feed direction.
  • the conveyor belt is in particular already tilted.
  • the product holder is preferably located in an upper end region of the feed device.
  • decoupled in feed mode in particular track-individual, freewheeling function the drive of the conveyor belt.
  • feed mode the feed of the conveyor belt is therefore carried out only by the product holder.
  • This method has the advantage that there is no slippage between the product and the conveyor belt, since the conveyor belt is moved by the product holder.
  • drives for the individual tracks can also be saved, since a common drive is sufficient for loading.
  • Individually movable product holders for the feed are provided only in the feed operation, but which are in any case provided with individual drives, in order, e.g. cut to weight.
  • the coupling between the product holder and the conveyor belt is preferably released when the product holder has moved with a product residue in the direction of the slicing unit so that the product only rests on a product support belt connected downstream of the conveyor belt.
  • the coupling device may, for example, be located downstream of the conveyor belt, so that the product may possibly still be held even though the product holder is already decoupled from the conveyor belt. Shortly after decoupling, the conveyor belt can again go down to the loading position be swiveled to pick up new products. The product residue can be further cut here. If the product is completely cut open, the end piece may be thrown off the product holder on the way back by a resulting gap between the conveyor belt and the product support belt. In the horizontal loading position, the drive of all conveyor belts is then again for all tracks together.
  • the feeding device in particular of the conveyor belts, is made possible.
  • several conveyor belts can be arranged side by side, only a single drive for this in loading operation is necessary.
  • the products can also be fed to the cutting unit on a track-by-track basis, since in this case the product holders ensure the individual movement of the products.
  • a central loading can be realized in a simple manner since all conveyor belts can be driven together in the loading operation.
  • the products can be quickly introduced from the upstream side of the slicing unit in the respective tracks and optionally pre-conveyed to a front stop.
  • the stop may be temporarily provided in the conveying path during the loading operation, e.g. by raising the product support band.
  • the number of servodrives can be reduced, i. For several tracks you only need one instead of several independent belt drives for the product feed.
  • the feeder can serve as a possible basis for an expansion stage of a slicer kit.
  • a feeding device which feeds food products 10 to a slicing unit 12.
  • the products 10 can be advanced on conveyor belts 14 via a common drive, not shown, in the direction of the slicing unit 12.
  • Product holders 16 may be engaged with a rear end of the products 10, for example by means of claws.
  • the product holders 16 have a coupling device 20 with at least one coupling element 22.
  • two coupling elements 22 may be provided per product holder 16, preferably on the respective sides.
  • the product holder 16 each comprise a linear drive, not shown.
  • the product holder 16 can be moved in this way individually and independently.
  • the conveyor belts 14 are followed by a product support belt 18.
  • Fig. 1 the conveyor belts 14 are in a substantially horizontal position.
  • products 10 can be loaded onto the conveyor belts 14.
  • all conveyor belts 14 are simultaneously driven by a common drive.
  • the products 10 are simultaneously moved in the feed direction Z to the slicing unit 12.
  • the clamping devices 20 produce a coupling with the respective conveyor belts 14 with the aid of the coupling elements 22.
  • the product holder 16 are thus fixedly coupled in the feed operation with the respective conveyor belt 14.
  • the conveyor belts 14 are decoupled from the common drive by means of a freewheeling function, so that the drive of the conveyor belts 14 now takes place exclusively via the respective product holders 16.
  • the products 10 can consequently be moved in the feed direction Z to the slicing unit 12 on a track-by-track basis.
  • the product support belt 18 can be raised.
  • the products 10 are thus advanced by the product holders 16 until the products 10 hit the product support belt 18.
  • the products 10 are now cut individually. If only one product residue of the respective products 10 is present and thus are the product holders 16 in an end region of the respective conveyor belts 14, then the coupling between the product holders 16 and the conveyor belts 14 can be released again.
  • the product residue, which is located only on the product support belt 18, can still be cut open, while the conveyor belts 14 can already be adjusted to a horizontal position to accommodate new products 10.
  • the product holder 16 can now be moved backwards. When foundedverstellen the product holder 16, these can throw the end pieces in a gap between the product support belt 18 and the conveyor belts 14 and dispose of them, for example.

  • the coupling is then solved again.
  • a plurality of conveyor belts can be driven by a common drive during the loading operation.
  • the products can be supplied to the slicing unit on a track-specific basis.
