Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutting knife, in particular a sickle knife or a spiral knife or a circular knife, for a device for slicing food products, in particular for a high-speed slicer that rotates about an axis of rotation during a cutting operation.
  • the knife has a radially outer circumferential edge which acts as a cutting edge and which has a curved profile around the axis of rotation.
  • the cutting knife has a plurality of cutting teeth which are arranged successively distributed along the circumferential edge, each cutting tooth having a cutting edge which comprises a cutting surface and a cutting edge delimiting the cutting surface radially on the outside.
  • Cutting knives with which food products such as, in particular, sausage, cheese and meat are cut into slices or pieces, are known in a wide variety of designs. Particularly in the field of high-speed slicers, with which high cutting speeds of several 100 to several 1,000 slices per minute are cut from a strand or loaf-shaped food product, a basic distinction is made between so-called circular knives on the one hand and so-called sickle or spiral knives (hereinafter simply "sickle knives”) ) on the other hand.
  • Circular knives have a cutting edge that runs circularly around the axis of rotation, whereby a circular knife not only rotates itself around the axis of rotation, but also revolves around an eccentric axis, i.e. parallel to the axis of rotation, around the cutting movement relative to the product required for the cutting of slices to create.
  • Sickle knives have a cutting edge that also has a curved course around the axis of rotation, but the radius of the cutting edge varies between a smallest radius and a largest radius in such a way that the cutting edge describes a sickle or spiral curve.
  • Sickle knives rotate exclusively around their axis of rotation, whereby here it is the course of the cutting edge deviating from a circular shape that ensures the necessary cutting movement relative to the product.
  • the intended direction of rotation of sickle knives is selected in such a way that the knife dips into the product at an initial circumferential area of the cutting edge which has a relatively small radius, which is also referred to as the immersion area, whereby the actual cutting movement for separating a slice or a piece from the product is thereby takes place that with further rotation of the knife the radius increases and consequently the cutting edge is moved through the product.
  • the immersion area which is also referred to as the immersion area
  • radius which is not used here for sickle knives in the strictly mathematical sense, for a section which perpendicularly cuts the axis of rotation of the knife, must be distinguished from the term "radius of curvature".
  • the radius of curvature is the radius of contact of the circle of curvature that best approximates the curve at that point.
  • the tangent of the curve at this point is perpendicular to the contact radius of this point.
  • the center of the circle of curvature does not lie, or at least not necessarily, on the axis of rotation of the knife.
  • the tangent perpendicular to the radius of curvature does not coincide at this point with the motion vector of this point when the knife is rotating. Since every point on the cutting edge rotates around the axis of rotation of the knife, the motion vector of every point is perpendicular to the relevant radius, but not to the relevant radius of curvature.
  • the term "radius” denotes a line perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the knife through this point and the term “motion tangent” or “motion vector” denotes a straight line through this point that is perpendicular to the radius.
  • the terms "radius of curvature” and “tangent” conform to the aforementioned convention. In the case of a circular knife, the radius and the radius of curvature as well as the movement tangent and the tangent are consequently identical in each case.
  • Cutting knives for slicing food products both circular knives and sickle knives, either with a non-toothed cutting edge or to provide them with a toothing.
  • Cutting knives with teeth are made for example EP 0 548 615 B1 and FR 2 661 634 A1 known.
  • the cutting angle in the circumferential direction of cutting knives with an toothless cutting edge is for example in DE 10 2007 040 350 A1 described in connection with a sickle knife.
  • a smaller cutting edge angle is selected in the immersion area in order to reduce product compression when the knife is immersed. Starting from the immersion area, the cutting edge angle can, for example, increase continuously so that the cutting edge angle is greatest towards the end of the cutting process. If the smaller cutting edge angle in the plunge area is referred to as "flat”, then the larger cutting edge angle can be referred to as "steep". With a relatively steep cutting edge angle, an advantageous depositing of the severed slices can be achieved, since the cutting edge can transmit an impulse directed out of the cutting plane to the respective severed disc. Therefore, the circumferential area of the knife edge which is effective towards the end of the cutting process and in which a steeper cutting edge angle is provided can also be referred to as the storage area.
  • the object of the invention is to create or to be able to produce a cutting knife of the type mentioned at the beginning, that is, in particular a circular knife or sickle or spiral knife, with which an improved cutting quality can be achieved.
  • a cutting knife of the type mentioned at the beginning that is, in particular a circular knife or sickle or spiral knife, with which an improved cutting quality can be achieved.
  • the same cutting quality as possible should be achieved over the entire cutting width of a slicing machine that can be used for products, also referred to as the cutting shaft width.
  • the invention can in principle be used both for sickle or spiral knives and for circular knives.
  • each cutting surface runs inclined with respect to a clamping plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation or a cutting plane and the inclination of the cutting surfaces varies along the peripheral edge.
  • the cutting plane is to be understood as a plane of the cutting knife which is clearly defined by the knife edge forming cutting edges of the cutting teeth can be defined. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which all or at least several cutting edges lie in a common plane, this plane is the cutting plane.
  • the invention consequently provides that not all cutting surfaces of the cutting teeth have the same inclination. Rather, it is provided that the cutting surfaces of the cutting teeth have different orientations in space, e.g. have with respect to the mounting level.
  • the clamping plane can coincide with the cutting plane defined by the cutting edge of the knife. However, this definition of the clamping level is not mandatory.
  • the clamping level can e.g. the plane defined by the back of a knife base body is also referred to.
  • the clamping plane is then spaced from the cutting plane ( Case 1) or the clamping plane coincides with the cutting plane (case 2).
  • the non-zero distance measured in the direction of the axis of rotation between the cutting plane and the plane defined by the rear of the knife base body is also referred to as the pitch.
  • the gauge is zero in case 2.
  • the actual position of the clamping plane is not decisive, rather it is only important that the clamping plane is perpendicular to the axis of rotation runs. Therefore, in the present disclosure, in part, in an alternative to the clamping plane, a “plane parallel to the clamping plane” is used.
  • the direction and extent of the inclination of the cutting surfaces can in principle be selected as a function of different criteria, in particular as a function of the properties of the food product to be sliced.
  • an adaptation to the positioning of the products to be sliced with respect to the cutting knife or the axis of rotation of the cutting knife can take place.
  • inclination In order to describe the inclination of a cutting surface geometrically, the inclination can be described as a superposition of a tilt and an adjustment.
  • An "inclined cutting surface” is to be understood here as meaning that the cutting surface - more or less pronounced, in particular depending on the size of the bevel angle of the cutting edge, see below - points in the intended direction of rotation of the knife.
  • the slope of a cutting surface can be defined using a single angle defined by the cutting surface with the cutting plane.
  • the cutting edge then forms the line of intersection between the cutting surface and the cutting plane.
  • this angle at which the cutting surface runs inclined to the cutting plane, will be referred to as the tilt angle KW.
  • This definition forms an independent third aspect of the invention (claim 2), for which protection is also claimed separately.
  • each cutting surface is inclined with respect to the cutting plane by the tilt angle KW and at the same time the cutting edge of each cutting surface has a lead angle, e.g. with respect to the movement tangent at a defined point of the cutting edge, for example the rear end point of the cutting edge.
  • Different inclinations of the cutting surfaces can therefore be achieved, for example, by varying the tilt angle while keeping the cutting angle constant, or vice versa. Alternatively, it is possible to vary both angles.
  • the inclination of a cutting surface that results in each case can be selected as a function of the circumferential position at which the relevant cutting tooth is located.
  • either only the tilt angle or only the lead angle can vary and the respective other angle can be constant, either zero or different from zero.
  • both angles can vary. Consequently, a large number of different angle combinations can be realized along the circumferential edge.
  • the inclined cutting edges of the cutting surfaces i.e. the cutting edges each having a bevel angle other than zero
  • the inclined cutting edges of the cutting surfaces can be referred to as a staggered or scale-like arrangement, which is characterized in particular by the fact that in each case between There is a transition between two successive cutting surfaces, which in principle can be designed as desired, but is preferably always characterized in that in the area of the transition the two immediately successive cutting surfaces are offset from one another with respect to the axis of rotation. In other words, there is a transition from a cutting surface There is a height offset or a jump to the cutting surface of a cutting tooth immediately following in the circumferential direction.
  • an uninterrupted, effective cutting edge located in the clamping plane or in a plane parallel to the clamping plane, which is formed cohesively by the cutting teeth and the transitions and here also is referred to as a continuous cutting edge.
  • one aspect of the invention (claim 5) relates to the orientation of the cutting edges, which can basically be described and defined independently of the size and orientation of the cutting surfaces and also regardless of whether the cutting surfaces are flat or curved.
  • At least some cutting edges or each cutting edge with a movement tangent includes a bevel angle, in particular one different from zero, the movement tangent and the radius intersecting at a point of the cutting edge in question, and / or that at least some Cutting edges are each oriented such that a front end of the cutting edge, seen in the intended direction of rotation, lies on a different, preferably a smaller, radius than the rear end of the cutting edge in question, and / or that at least some cutting edges or each cutting edge with a connecting line includes a bevel angle, in particular non-zero, the connecting line including the two rear ends or the two front ends of a respective cutting edge and the immediately preceding or connecting the following cutting edge.
  • the lead angle or the orientation of the cutting edges it can be determined - in principle individually for each cutting edge - how a respective cutting edge, e.g. is oriented in a fixed reference system, and thus under which orientation the relevant cutting edge cuts into the product to be cut. For a straight cutting edge lying in a defined plane, one point on the cutting edge is sufficient for a clear definition of its orientation.
  • another point of the cutting edge can also be selected, for example one of the two end points of the cutting edge.
  • the definition of the orientation of the cutting edge in relation to the movement tangent, i.e. to the movement vector, is in principle arbitrary, but it is useful insofar as the movement vector of a point on the cutting edge indicates the direction in which this point of the cutting edge is at the moment of cutting moved into the product relative to the product.
  • the absolute value of the angle between the cutting edge and the motion vector of a point on the cutting edge depends on which point on the cutting edge it is. If absolute values are given below for the lead angle, then these relate - as far as the lead angle is defined in relation to the motion vector, ie between the Movement vector and the cutting edge is measured - always on the point of the cutting edge in question at the rear in the direction of rotation.
  • a more "inclined position" of the cutting edges is preferably provided for a sickle knife, i. the front end is preferably on a radius that is smaller than the radius on which the front end would lie if the front end and the rear end were on an imaginary curve which corresponds to the cutting edge of a conventional toothless sickle knife.
  • the orientation of the cutting edges can alternatively also be defined in such a way that at least some cutting edges or each cutting edge with a connecting line includes a bevel angle, in particular non-zero, the connecting line including the two rear ends or the two front ends of a respective cutting edge and the direct connects preceding or following cutting edge with each other.
  • all rear ends of the cutting edges and / or all front ends of the cutting edges can each lie on an imaginary curve that is not a circle, which corresponds at least approximately to the cutting edge of a conventional, toothless sickle knife.
  • the connecting lines then together form a polygon that approximates this imaginary curve.
  • the cutting edges of the knife preferably have a "greater inclination" in that each cutting edge encloses an angle other than zero with its connecting path, which is also here as Lead angle should be designated.
  • the front end of each cutting edge consequently does not lie on a connecting path connecting the two immediately adjacent rear ends, but on a smaller radius.
  • the value ranges specified in this disclosure for the lead angle apply both to its definition with regard to the motion vector and to its definition with regard to the connecting path.
  • the specific value for the size of the cutting angle depends on its definition, but at least for the cutting knives used in practice on high-speed slicers for slicing food products, the difference is due to the short length of a cutting edge compared to the total length of the circumferential edge of the knife is small or negligible.
  • This exemplary embodiment is a sickle knife. Exceptionally good cutting results can also be achieved with a circular knife designed according to the invention, as tests carried out on different products, including cheese, have shown.
  • a bevel angle other than zero can be in a range from about 1 ° to 10 ° and preferably be about 3 ° to 6 °.
  • the lead angle can be in a range from about 10 ° to 20 °.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the lead angle is constant for all cutting surfaces.
  • the cutting surfaces are each set pointing in the intended direction of rotation.

  • the size of the cutting angle of one or each cutting edge is basically arbitrary and can be selected as a function of the properties of the food product to be cut.

  • a variation of the tilt angle over the circumferential edge of the circular knife is preferred, since with a circular knife - unlike a sickle knife - due to the superposition of the rotation around the axis of rotation and the circular movement around the axis running parallel to the axis of rotation - is not predetermined in practice the circumferential area with which the circular knife hits a product to be cut.
  • the total circumference of 360 ° can be an integral multiple of a period of the "tilt angle oscillation".
  • the invention makes it possible to improve the quality of the severed product slices. This increases the product yield and reduces manual reworking on the severed slices or on the portions formed from them. This in turn reduces downtimes on a packaging machine connected downstream of the slicing device.
  • a particular advantage of the cutting knife according to the invention is that the improved cutting quality simultaneously enables the cutting speed to be increased.
  • the individual machining of the cutting teeth according to the invention and, in particular, the individual design of the cutting surfaces, makes it possible to realize a wide variety of designs for knife teeth.
  • This allows the cutting knives to be specifically adapted to specific product properties.
  • An adjustment can also be made with regard to the cutting geometry.
  • the way in which the knife penetrates the respective product can be taken into account when producing the toothing, taking into account the position of the product in the cutting device, in particular in a so-called Cutting shaft, as well as taking into account the size of the overall cutting area provided, in particular the cutting shaft width.
  • Such adaptation options are particularly important in so-called multi-lane cutting, that is to say when cutting several adjacent products at the same time.
  • the products are simultaneously fed to the cutting plane defined by the knife edge, at least essentially at right angles to the cutting plane.
  • FIG. 1 The illustrated embodiment of a cutting knife according to the invention for a high-speed slicer for slicing food products, as is known in principle to the person skilled in the art, is is a sickle knife, which rotates around an axis of rotation 11 in an intended direction of rotation during a cutting operation.
  • the rotating knife 10 plunges into the product to be sliced with an immersion area 33, which extends, for example, over a circumferential angle range of 74 ° and has a circumferential length of approximately 317 mm.
  • the immersion area 33 is followed by a transition area 32, which extends, for example, over a circumferential angle range of 41 ° and has a circumferential length of approximately 205 mm.
  • This transition area 32 of the circumferential edge 13 is followed by a storage area 31 of the knife edge, which extends over a circumferential angle range of approximately 150 ° and has a circumferential length of approximately 917 mm.
  • the knife edge having these three areas 31, 32 and 33 is provided with a toothing according to the invention, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • Each cutting tooth of the toothing has, among other things, a cutting surface 17 facing the front of the knife 10 (cf. Fig. 2 ), which has a certain slope.
  • the three areas 31, 32, 33 differ from one another with regard to the inclination of the cutting surfaces 17. This is explained in more detail below.
  • the Fig. 1 is a plan view of the front of the knife 10, which faces away from the product to be sliced or the products to be sliced at the same time during the cutting operation.
  • the axis of rotation 11 runs centrally through a circular receiving opening 12 of the knife 10, by means of which the knife 10 is attached to a knife holder of the slicing device, not shown here can be attached.
  • the knife holder comprises, for example, a rotor hub of a high-speed slicer, as is fundamentally known to the person skilled in the art.
  • Adjoining the receiving opening 12 is an end face 38 which, in this exemplary embodiment, is planar and runs perpendicular to the axis of rotation 11.
  • an inclined surface 37 adjoins the end face 38 radially on the outside, from which the individual cutting surfaces 17 of the cutting teeth 15 ( Fig. 2 ) extend radially outward.
  • the tilt angle of the inclined surface 37 i.e. the angle between the inclined surface 37 and a clamping plane AE (cf. Fig. 3 ) is smaller than the smallest tilt angle provided for the cutting surfaces 17.
  • the inclined surface 37 runs flatter than each cutting surface 17, so that an imaginary radial extension of the inclined surface 37 extends the clamping plane AE radially outside the peripheral edge 13 ( Fig. 1 ) would cut.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged section of FIG Fig. 1 in the immersion area 33, which shows the first nine cutting teeth 15 of the toothing starting from the smallest radius Rmin of the knife 10.
  • the cutting surfaces 17 are each delimited radially on the outside by a cutting edge 19.
  • Transitions 27 formed as depressions between the cutting teeth 15 are also radially outward from a cutting edge 21 ( Fig. 3 ) that connects two cutting edges 19 of the cutting surfaces 17.
  • the transition from the inclined surface 37 to the cutting surfaces 17 of the cutting teeth 15 is each formed by a straight inner edge 36, from the end points of which an edge extends to the corresponding end point of the relevant cutting edge 19.
  • These edges 25 ( Fig. 4 ) thus each extend between the inclined surface 37 and the clamping plane AE.
  • the inner edges 36 can each be sharp-edged or rounded.
  • a transition edge 39 is also formed between the flat end face 38 and the inclined face 37.

  • the illustration below with the section CC shows an enlargement of the teeth in the immersion area 33.
  • the intended direction of rotation red of the knife 10 is indicated in each case by an arrow.
  • the cutting surfaces 17 are not only tilted, ie each connect the inner edge 36 located above the clamping plane AE in the inclined surface 37 with the clamping plane AE, but are also positioned pointing in the direction of rotation red.
  • the tilt angle KW in the storage area 31 (upper middle illustration in Fig. 3 ) is comparatively large.
  • the tilt angle KW is preferably 26 ° here.
  • the tilt angle KW is smaller than in the storage area 31.
  • the tilt angle KW here is preferably 18 °.
  • the cutting surfaces 17 are consequently flatter or less steep than in the storage area 31. As already explained at the beginning, this in particular avoids compressions of the product when the knife 10 is immersed, whereas at the end of the cutting process due to the steeper cutting surfaces 17 in the storage area 31 improved storage of the respectively separated product slice can be achieved.
  • the cutting surfaces 17 are tilted such that three consecutive cutting surfaces 17 each have the same tilt angle KW.
  • the tilt angle KW decreases by 0.5 ° from the group of three to the immediately following group of three, with the last group of three in front of the immersion area 33 having a tilt angle KW of 18.5 °, which is then followed the cutting teeth 15 of the immersion area 33 each connect with a tilt angle KW of the cutting surface 17 of 18 °.
  • the tilt angle value in the immersion area 33 can again be 18 °, whereas in the deposit area 31 the tilt angle value is 22 ° and each angle step between immediately successive groups of three of cutting teeth 15 in the transition area 32 has a value of 0.25 °.

  • the pitch of the toothing can vary, as already explained in the introductory part.
  • a transition 27 is provided between two immediately successive cutting surfaces 17, which transition 27 is designed as a recess running in the radial direction with a U-shaped cross section.
  • Each transition 27 (see also Fig. 4 ) comprises a transition surface 23, which merges radially on the inside via a transition edge 35 into the inclined surface 37 and is delimited radially on the outside by a transition edge 21 which lies in the cutting plane SE.
  • transition edges 21 connect the cutting edges 19 of the adjoining cutting surfaces 17 and are themselves designed as cutting edges. As a result, all of the cutting edges 19 and all of the transition edges 21 connecting two immediately consecutive cutting edges 19 together form a continuous, uninterrupted overall cutting edge.
  • this uninterrupted cutting edge which is formed jointly by the cutting edges 19 and the transition edges 21, lies continuously in the cutting edge plane SE.

  • Points 3 and 4 are the points of intersection of a first transition edge 25 with the cutting plane SE (point 4) and with the inclined surface 37 (point 3), whereas points 5 and 6 are the points of intersection of a second transition edge 25 with the cutting plane SE (point 5 ) or the inclined surface 37 (point 6).
  • the two transition edges 25, the cutting edge 19 and the inner edge 36 span the respective cutting surface 17, which in this example is planar, that is to say does not have any curved course.

  • points 6 and 3 - measured in the radial direction - are at different distances from the axis of rotation 11, with point 6 being radially further out than point 3 and - since the inclined surface 37 is inclined with respect to the cutting plane SE - therefore closer located at the cutting plane SE than the point 3, ie the point 6 lies lower than the point 3.
  • the point 2 in turn lies radially further inward than the point 3 and consequently higher than the point 3 and higher than the point 6.
  • point 1 lies radially further inward than point 4, which in turn lies radially further inward than point 5.
  • all three points 1, 4 and 5 are at the same height level because they lie in the common cutting plane SE.
