Abstract

Machine for cutting food products such as cheese in which the advancement of the product to be cut takes place automatically in step with the cutting, characterised in that the cutting element is supported by the operating member, the shaft of which controls simultaneous advancement of the product through use of a pusher secured to a screw-nut system and of transmission means between the said shaft and the screw allowing the desired pitch to be obtained. A complementary system of cutting elements located upstream of the previous one makes it possible to split the product up into several parts.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une machine permettant la découpe de produits alimentaires principalement destinés à la restauration collective tels les fromages en forme de bûches, briques et autres produits similaires. Cette découpe peut aboutir soit à des portions individuelles qui doivent alors être de poids constant et précis soit des morceaux découpés de façon géométriquement régulière pour une présentation flatteuse. De plus la manoeuvre doit etre aisée et rapide de même que le nettoyage doit etre simplifié.The present invention relates to a machine for cutting food products mainly intended for collective catering such as cheeses in the form of logs, bricks and other similar products. This cutting can result either in individual portions which must then be of constant and precise weight or pieces cut in a geometrically regular way for a flattering presentation. In addition, the maneuver must be easy and quick as well as cleaning must be simplified.

L'invention va etre décrite ci-après selon un mode de réalisation particulier et en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels les figures représentent figure 1 vue en plan de la machine figure 2 vue de face du poussoir figure 3 vue de face d'une variante du poussoir.The invention will be described below according to a particular embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the figures represent Figure 1 plan view of the machine Figure 2 front view of the pusher Figure 3 front view of a variant of the pusher.

Sur la figure 1 la machine comprend un bâti fixe (1) supportant une goulotte (2) qui reçoit le produit à couper (3). Un cadre (4) supporte un élément de coupe (5) fixé par des moyens convenables (6) et (6a) et comporte une poignée de manoeuvre (7). Ce cadre est solidaire d'un arbre tournant (8) supporté par le bâti fixe (1). Ce dit arbre est relié en rotation à une vis (9) par un jeu de 2 poulies étagées (10) et (iota) et une courroie crantée (11). Les dimensions respectives des étages étant telles que l'intratnement soit possible par déplacement axial de la courroie (11). La vis (9) coopère avec un écrou (12) solidaire du poussoir (13). Ce dit poussoir étant guidé glissant en (14) sur l'arbre (8).In Figure 1 the machine comprises a fixed frame (1) supporting a chute (2) which receives the product to be cut (3). A frame (4) supports a cutting element (5) fixed by suitable means (6) and (6a) and comprises an operating handle (7). This frame is integral with a rotating shaft (8) supported by the fixed frame (1). Said shaft is connected in rotation to a screw (9) by a set of 2 stepped pulleys (10) and (iota) and a toothed belt (11). The respective dimensions of the stages being such that the drive is possible by axial displacement of the belt (11). The screw (9) cooperates with a nut (12) integral with the pusher (13). Said pusher being guided sliding in (14) on the shaft (8).

On peut compléter la machine ainsi décrite en positionnant sur l'avant du chassies (1) un cadre (16) portant un ou plusieurs éléments de coupe (17) fixés par des moyens connus (18), (18a). Ce cadre (16) est monté réglable en position dans le chassies (1) au moyen par exemple d'un guidage épaulé (19) et maintenu par des vis de pression (20) et (20a).The machine thus described can be completed by positioning on the front of the casings (1) a frame (16) carrying one or more cutting elements (17) fixed by known means (18), (18a). This frame (16) is mounted adjustable in position in the casing (1) by means, for example, of a stepped guide (19) and held by pressure screws (20) and (20a).

Le produit à couper (3) se déplace suivant un axe (24) parallèle à l'arbre (8) et à la vis (9). Cet axe peut être horizontal mais il peut également etre incliné de façon à faire monter le produit (3) au cours de son avancement.The product to be cut (3) moves along an axis (24) parallel to the shaft (8) and to the screw (9). This axis can be horizontal but it can also be inclined so as to raise the product (3) during its advancement.

Sur la figure (2), on a montré le poussoir (13) avec un demi écrou (21) engrénant dans la vis (9) l'axe (8) guidant le poussoir. En faisant pivoter le poussoir autour de l'axe (8) suivant la flèche (22) on dégage le demi écrou (21) de la vis (9) ce qui permet par exemple de ramener rapidement le poussoir vers l'arrière afin de travailler un nouveau produit. In FIG. (2), the pusher (13) has been shown with a half nut (21) meshing in the screw (9) with the axis (8) guiding the pusher. By pivoting the pusher around the axis (8) along the arrow (22) we release the half nut (21) of the screw (9) which allows for example to quickly bring the pusher back to work a new product.

Sur la figure (3), on représente le poussoir (13) dans lequel l'axe (8) coopère
avec une ouverture (23) qui permet le dégagement complet du dit poussoir par exemple pour son nettoyage.In Figure (3), there is shown the pusher (13) in which the axis (8) cooperates
with an opening (23) which allows the complete release of said pusher for example for cleaning.

Le fonctionnement de la machine se déduit de cette description. En effet la rotation du cadre (4) entrasse la découpe d'une tranche du produit (3) et en même temps la rotation de l'axe (8) qui commande par (10), (10a) et (11) celle de la vis (9) qui assure le déplacement du poussoir (13) qui lui-même entraÇne vers la zone de coupe le produit (3) par le contact entre celui-ci et la face avant (15) du poussoir.The operation of the machine is deduced from this description. Indeed the rotation of the frame (4) overlaps the cutting of a slice of the product (3) and at the same time the rotation of the axis (8) which controls by (10), (10a) and (11) that of the screw (9) which moves the pusher (13) which itself drives the product (3) towards the cutting zone by contact between it and the front face (15) of the pusher.

Si l'on veut modifier le pas d'avancement du produit il suffit de déplacer la courroie axialement et de la faire travailler sur un autre étage des poulies (10) et (10a). Le ou les éléments de coupe (17) solidaires du cadre (16) permettent le refendage en plusieurs parties du produit (3) par l'action de l'avancement de celui-ci tel que décrit précédemment, -ces parties étant finalement tranchées par l'élément de coupe (5). Si par exemple les éléments de coupe (17) forment une grille à maille carrée dont le côté aurait la valeur du pas, le produit résultant serait en forme de cubes. Si les éléments de coupe (17) sont disposés parallèlement entre eux, le produit résultant serait en forme de bâtonnets.Si l'élément de coupe (17) est unique, le produit (3) sera seulement refendu en 2 et le réglage du cadre (16) permettra d'ajuster le refendage en 2 parties égales en fonction de la taille du produit (3).If you want to change the step of the product just move the belt axially and make it work on another stage of the pulleys (10) and (10a). The cutting element (s) (17) integral with the frame (16) allow the product (3) to be split into several parts by the action of advancing the latter as described above, these parts being finally cut by the cutting element (5). If for example the cutting elements (17) form a square mesh grid whose side would have the value of the pitch, the resulting product would be in the form of cubes. If the cutting elements (17) are arranged parallel to each other, the resulting product would be in the form of sticks. If the cutting element (17) is unique, the product (3) will only be split in 2 and the setting of the frame (16) will adjust the slitting in 2 equal parts depending on the size of the product (3).

L'inclinaison de l'axe (24) de déplacement du produit, telle qu'il monte au cours de son déplacement, facilite le dégagement des morceaux résultant de la coupe du produit par rapport au cadre (4) et leur récupération sous la partie avant du bâti (1). Cette inclinaison est comprise entre 15 et 450. The inclination of the axis (24) of movement of the product, as it rises during its movement, facilitates the release of the pieces resulting from the cutting of the product relative to the frame (4) and their recovery under the part front of the frame (1). This inclination is between 15 and 450.

Les éléments de coupe (5) et (17) décrits précédemment peuvent être constitués par des fils tendus ou en variante par des lames affûtées ou par des lames de faible épaisseur.The cutting elements (5) and (17) described above can be constituted by stretched wires or alternatively by sharpened blades or by thin blades.

On a représenté un système de poulies (10) et (lova) à 2 étages, il va de soi que ce nombre peut être limité à 1 ou augmenté à 3 ou plus suivant les besoins.There is shown a system of pulleys (10) and (lova) with 2 stages, it goes without saying that this number can be limited to 1 or increased to 3 or more according to the needs.

De même la goulotte (2) peut être rendue facilement démontable et interchangeable pour être adaptée à la forme du produit à traiter par exemple plate, cylindrique ou en VE. Enfin, la machine décrite ci-dessus est à fonctionnement manuel, elle pourrait facilement être motorisée sans sortir du cadre de l'invention en reliant par exemple l'axe (8) à un moteur. Similarly, the chute (2) can be made easily removable and interchangeable to be adapted to the shape of the product to be treated, for example flat, cylindrical or VE. Finally, the machine described above is manually operated, it could easily be motorized without departing from the scope of the invention by connecting, for example, the axis (8) to a motor.
