Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, in particular high-speed slicer, for slicing food products in at least one slice comprehensive portions.
  • the food products may be, for example, sausage, ham, meat, cheese or the like.
  • the slicing apparatus includes a slicing unit configured to separate slices from a product.
  • the slicing unit can be a rotary blade and / or a planetary rotating cutting blade, in particular sickle or circular blade.
  • the separated slices fall on a conveyor belt, such as a Portionierband, and form there a portion.
  • a certain period of time is required during which no slices are separated from the product.
  • the product feeder is stopped.
  • this has the disadvantage that the product possibly expands and extends into the region of the cutting plane. This may result in the slicing unit separating product slices or product slices from the product. These product chips or product scraps get on the finished portions and affect the visual appearance.
  • so-called idle cuts have hitherto been carried out. In this case, for example, the supplied product is moved back against the conveying direction from the cutting plane and / or the slicing unit is moved away from the cutting plane. In this way, contact between the product and the slicing unit is prevented.
  • the slicing unit performs a normal cutting motion on the blank cuts, but without separating slices from the product.
  • Slicing devices are known from the prior art in which portions can be formed and transported away without performing blank cuts.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE 198 51 149 A1 known.
  • the DE 10 2010 060 325 A1 describes a similar principle. A clipboard is shot here and then a portion created. The still incomplete portion is transferred to a conveyor and completed there.
  • EP 0 482 334 A1 a device for transferring piece goods, such as sliced sausage, from a loading station to a packaging station.
  • the disks in a cutting region as a disk flow fall directly on at least one carrier and form a portion on the carrier.
  • the carrier may in particular be a rigid portion carrier. This can remain connected to a portion and, for example, transported together.
  • the carrier can thus be e.g. Serve as a tray for the portion.
  • a conventional conveyor belt which transports portions does not correspond to a carrier in the sense of the present invention, especially since in the present case the carrier itself is transported.
  • an obstacle for influencing the discs preferably attached to the cutting device, can be arranged.
  • This may be a rigid obstacle such as a simple rod or a moving obstacle such as a particular relatively short, preferably at a relatively high speed rotating endless belt.
  • a changed storage of the discs can be achieved on the product tray.
  • the discs may be folded, folded or compressed for filing, resulting in certain applications is desired.
  • so-called "shaved meat" portions can be formed from compressed discs.
  • a portion is understood as a complete portion which can be packed in this form.
  • a partial portion is included, which may have, for example, a predeterminable number of discs or a predeterminable weight. In principle, it is also possible that a portion comprises only a single slice.
  • the portions are put together in particular on the carrier.
  • the individual discs can be stacked or shingled on the carrier.
  • the slicing apparatus includes a moving device for moving the portion-loaded carrier from the cutting area.
  • the carriers can be moved together with the portions to a downstream processing device, for example a packaging device.
  • the portions may be buffered, sorted and / or handled, in particular rotated or overlapped.
  • the end of the movement device only good portions are preferably transferred to the packaging device.
  • the slicing device has an introduction device, which is designed to introduce at least one further carrier into the disk flow as soon as a portion is formed on the preceding carrier.
  • the carrier may be particularly empty during insertion.
  • the carrier already has a few discs, in particular of a different kind.
  • mixed portions ie portions with slices of different types, can be created.
  • the carrier with the partial portion can be transported to a further slicing unit and introduced there into the corresponding slice current in order to produce slices of another variety.
  • the same principle applies to slices of the same variety.
  • a partial portion can also be moved to another slicing unit in order to be completed there.
  • another carrier may be introduced into the disc stream for a subsequent portion once the previous portion on a preceding carrier has been completely created or, for example, at mixed portions, has a desired number of discs.
  • the slicing device comprises at least one control device for controlling the movement of the carriers, the slicing unit and / or the introduction device. It is possible that a single controller controls all processes. Alternatively, separate control devices can also be provided for the carriers, the slicing unit and / or the introduction device.
  • portioning does not take place on a portioning belt, as is customary in the field, but directly on the carrier.
  • the carrier is introduced into the cutting area to accommodate the separated slices.
  • These discs fall directly on the carrier, i. a mechanical and control technically complex Stapelauftechnik or a clipboard is not required.
  • the discs fall in particular exclusively on the carrier.
  • the discs are transported on.
  • the portions formed do not shift thereby, since no further transfer of the portions, e.g. from a Stapelauf disturbing or a clipboard on the carrier or by a Portionierband on a subsequent conveyor belt is required.
  • the slicing unit is designed to continuously separate slices from a product, the slab flow being continuous.
  • the slab flow is continuous.
  • permanent disks fall down.
  • the disk flow is therefore not broken when slicing a product, e.g. interrupted for the removal of the portions, so that the throughput and thus the number of created portions per unit time can be significantly increased.
  • the movement device comprises a plurality of individually movable transport movers and a transport system for the transport movers, in which the transport movers are movable along at least one predetermined path in a removal direction, wherein in particular the transport movers each comprise at least one runner cooperating with the web system and a support for Include receiving at least one carrier on the runner.
  • the holder of the Transportmovers for receiving a plurality, in particular two, carriers are formed.
  • the carriers can be simultaneously introduced into adjacent disc streams and loaded with discs.
  • the carriers can then be moved out of the cutting area by a common transport movers.
  • these may preferably be arranged in the held state with respect to the rotor of different sides of the transport movers.
  • the drive for the transport movers can be designed, for example, as a linear motor, in particular as a linear synchronous motor or as a linear induction motor.
  • a transport system which can be used in principle for the invention which is hereby expressly referred to with regard to the requirement for practicability of the invention, is offered by the company MagneMotion Inc., located in Devens, Massachusetts, USA.
  • This system is based on a so-called LSM drive, ie on a drive by linear synchronous motors, which is to be distinguished from a so-called linear induction motor (LIM drive).
  • LIM drive linear induction motor
  • a magnetic field is not induced by the so-called electromagnetic traveling field in an LSM drive, but the magnetic field is provided by permanent magnets.
  • the web system or the individual webs of such a transport system can be subdivided into a plurality of successive web elements, which to a certain extent each form a single linear motor and can be individually controlled by a control device. If, at the same time, the transport movers in the rail system are identifiable by means of the control device, then, in principle, any number of transport movers can be operated simultaneously in a fundamentally arbitrarily complex rail system and thereby moved individually.
  • each transport moover is provided with a transducer which induces a signal in the stator formed by the railway system, thereby enabling the control device to determine the exact position of the transport movers with an accuracy of fractions of a millimeter or fractions of a centimeter, depending on the size of the overall system.
  • An advantage of this system is that no external sensors are needed.
  • the subdivision of the webs into a multiplicity of web elements which in one sense represents a single linear motor in each case, ensures that no collisions occur between successive transport movers.
  • a transport movers can only enter the next track element if this is permitted by the control device, which is not the case in particular if another transport movers are located in the track element.
  • the web system is designed as a stator of the linear motor.
  • the rotor is in each case a component of a linear synchronous motor, wherein in particular the rotor comprises at least one permanent magnet and the web system is designed as a motor stator.
  • the web system is subdivided into a plurality of web elements, which in particular each represent a single linear motor, which can be controlled individually by the control device.
  • the transport movers are preferably identifiable by the control device.
  • transport movers can preferably be localized by the control device in the rail system.
  • the transport system has a plurality of transport movers, the total number of which depends on the particular application. It may be contemplated that the web system comprises several tens to several hundred transport movers, i. In a sense, there can be a veritable "swarm" of transport movers in the railway system in order to transport a large number of portions and possibly perform additional functions, such as, for example, buffering, distributing and / or allocating portions.
  • control device controls the slicing unit such that no idle cuts are carried out.
  • a blank cut is usually made after the last slice of a serving, which may also be a partial serving. The cut in the course of the next knife revolution thus goes into the void.
  • a single product is cut open continuously without interruption.
  • An interruption only takes place during a product change, ie when a product is completely cut open and then a new product is cut open.
  • Breaks when cutting are minimized according to the invention. This leads to a continuous disk flow and concomitantly to a continuous portion stream.
  • the control device controls the slicing unit such that the distance between falling slices of a product is constant.
  • the temporal and / or spatial distance of the falling slices of a product remains the same.
  • the time interval can be a few fractions of seconds, for example, in extreme cases, with a cutting capacity of 2000 slices per minute only 30 milliseconds. However, larger time intervals are also conceivable. In particular, the time interval may be at most 40, 50, 75, 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 milliseconds.
  • the spatial distance can be a few centimeters or even just a few millimeters.
  • the slicing unit thus cuts slices off the product evenly at a constant speed.
  • the distance between the falling discs also does not change when the carrier is introduced into the disc flow or when a portion is removed. The carriers must therefore be introduced quickly into the disk flow.
  • a transfer device which transfers the products from the carrier to a packaging device.
  • the portions can first be moved on a carrier by the movement device, in particular on a web system. The portion remains in particular on the carrier.
  • the transfer device can transfer the portions into the packaging device, in particular into a packaging.
  • a robot unit in particular with a picker, can serve as the transfer device. The portion can be transferred from the carrier into the packaging.
  • the carrier forms part of a package.
  • the carrier can be designed as a tray. The individual slices fall directly into the tray. The tray is moved to the packaging device and finally packaged there, i. in particular welded and / or glued to a film.
  • a tray in which fall the separated discs, rests on a support and is moved as a unit with the carrier.
  • the carrier may in this case comprise a holding device, e.g. a frame, a recess and / or a recess, for the tray have.
  • the tray can then be transferred from the carrier to a packaging device.
  • the portion remains until it is transferred to a packaging device on the carrier.
  • a packaging device on the carrier.
  • the slices which fall directly on the carrier also remain on this carrier until the portions are packaged. Consequently, the portions do not shift on the way to the packaging device, as may be the case, for example, in conventional conveyor belt systems with belt transitions or cut-to-size devices with a stack pick-up or in the pulley flow.
  • two carriers are provided for each portion, which complement each other in the cutting area to a common support for the portion.
  • the edition corresponds to a certain extent a shared carrier.
  • the two carriers or carrier halves can be introduced from different sides into the disk flow. This has the advantage that the respective carriers have to travel a smaller distance.
  • the overlay can thus be introduced faster overall in the disk flow than a single carrier.
  • each carrier can be assigned its own transport movers.
  • the two transport movers can preferably introduce the carriers from different sides into the disk flow.
  • the introduction device comprises at least one holder which temporarily fixes or holds the carrier.
  • the carrier can thus be safely held in the disk flow and / or positioned while the discs fall onto the carrier.
  • the holder may mechanically, magnetically and / or hydraulically, e.g. by means of a generated vacuum.
  • the holder comprises a fork or pliers.
  • the holder is designed to transfer the carrier loaded with a portion to the movement device, in particular a transport mover or a holder. After a portion has been created on a carrier, the carrier can be released again from the holder. The carrier is in particular again out of engagement with the introduction device, so that it can be moved out of the cutting area.
  • two holders are provided, which are designed to alternately transfer a carrier loaded with a portion to the moving device, in particular a transport mover or a holder, and to introduce a further carrier into the disk flow.
  • the holders can work in particular alternately and meet the respective function alternately.
  • the holders can be mounted displaceably on an axis. In this way, the carrier can be adjusted for loading in a first position and for transfer to the moving device in a second position. This ensures that the discs are always picked up in the same position and the carriers are delivered at the same position. The portions on the carriers are thus always in the same position and do not have to be postponed.
  • the carrier may be movable over and / or along the holder.
  • the carrier can preferably be moved over the holder from the rear and moved out of the cutting area in the same direction.

  • the carriers are introduced into the disc flow in a plane which lies above a transport plane in which the carriers loaded with portions are moved out of the cutting region.
  • This allows, for example, a narrow, compact design, since the carriers do not have to be introduced from the side into the disk flow.
  • the removal level always has enough space to supply the empty carriers to the cutting area.
  • a feed, which is arranged above the Abtransportebene, also has the advantage that even with more than two lanes, the carrier can be introduced into the respective disc streams, which requires at least a certain design effort in a lateral feed.

  • the insertion device is particularly simple in this way.
  • the distance of the feed to Abtransportebene in the region of the cutting area is smaller than seen in Abtransport Vietnamese downstream. The feeder thus effectively forms a wedge and can be brought close to the cutting area without hindering the slicing unit.
