Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a meat slicer removal apparatus for a meat slicer for removing meat residue and the like attached to a round blade.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The prior art will be described with reference to JP-A-9-57689. In a meat slicer having a round blade rotatably supported by a round blade holding member provided on one side of the machine base and a meat box reciprocally movable toward the round blade along a guide member on the machine base, One end is rotatably attached to the round blade cover, and the other end to which the scraper is mounted is provided with an arm extending to near the center of the blade back surface of the round blade, and the scraper is rotated through the arm in a state where the round blade is rotated. The blade is pressed against the back surface of the blade to remove flesh adhering to the back surface of the blade. Since the round blade is usually located on the operation side, that is, the rearmost position farthest from the front of the machine, that is, the rear of the machine, it is necessary to move the round blade from the front of the machine to the rear of the machine to perform the removal operation.

[0003]

The slicing operation has four to four steps.
It is common to carry out for 8 hours / day. The meat slicer that performs the slicing operation slices at a speed of 50 to 70 slices / minute. The meat box on which the block meat is placed reciprocates in a cycle corresponding to the number of pieces. The block meat in the meat box comes into contact with the back surface of the rotating round blade each time it goes back and forth. The meat juice, fat and meat residue peculiar to the meat adhere to the whole surface of the blade back surface of the round blade in contact with the block meat. The back surface of the blade that has adhered has stickiness peculiar to meat, and if the slicing operation is continued as it is, meat juice, fat, and meat residue adhere to the surface of the sliced meat piece, reducing the commercial value. For this reason, removal of attached gravy, fat, and meat residue is an indispensable operation. In general, the cycle of the operation of removing the gravy, fat, and meat residue attached to the back surface of the round blade is every 30 minutes of the slicing operation. As described above, the frequent removal work (8
(16 times / day), the operator has to move to the back of the machine base, the workability is poor, and it is necessary to press the scraper against the back of the round blade via the arm, which requires labor. there were.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to improve the workability and work efficiency by enabling meat scum removal during slicing.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to press a slide shaft having a scraper mounted at the tip thereof and attached to a meat box so as to be able to advance and retreat toward the back surface of the round blade toward the back surface of the round blade. This is achieved by providing a pressing member that presses the scraper against the back surface of the blade when the meat box reciprocates.

[0006]

1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and 4, the left side will be referred to as an operation side on which a worker is located to perform operations such as driving and stopping, and the lateral direction will be referred to as the front-rear direction and the vertical direction will be referred to as the horizontal direction. 4 for easy understanding in FIGS.
And the like are omitted.

A round blade 2 is rotatably supported by a round blade holding member 3 provided at the rear of the upper surface of the machine base 1. A meat box 5 is provided on the machine base 1 such that the meat box 5 can reciprocate along a guide member 4 such as a rail provided along the front-rear direction on the machine base 1. In the meat box 5, a block meat 13 to be sliced is placed. In the meat box 5, as is well known, a meat feeding means for feeding the block meat 13 to the round blade 2 side every time the block meat 13 is sliced. Although attached, it is not shown because it is not directly related to the present invention. Round blade 2 and meat box 5
As is well known, driven by a motor (not shown) provided in the machine base 1, the round blade 2 is rotated, and the meat box 5 is reciprocated toward the round blade 2. A bearing portion 6 is mounted on the side surface of the meat box 5 on the side of the round blade 2, that is, the rear side surface, and a slide shaft 8 extending in the horizontal direction toward the round blade 2 is provided on the bearing portion 6.
It is attached so that it can move forward and backward. A scraper 9 is fixed to the tip of the slide shaft 8 on the round blade 2 side, and the slide shaft 8 is constantly pressed toward the round blade 2 by a spring 11 provided between the bearing 6 and the projection 10. Therefore, the scraper 9 is pressed against the blade back surface 7 of the round blade 2, and when the meat box 5 reciprocates, the scraper 9 moves in the front-rear direction while contacting the blade back surface 7, so that the meat residue adhering to the blade back surface 7 is attached. And so on.

When the block meat 13 is placed on the meat box 5 and a switch (not shown) is operated, the round blade 2 rotates and the meat box 5 starts reciprocating. Each time the meat box 5 makes one round trip, one sliced meat piece 12 is discharged, and each time the block meat 13 is sent to the round blade 2 side by the meat feeding means by the thickness to be sliced. This operation is repeated to continuously perform the slice operation of the block meat 13. When the switch or the like is turned off, the operation of the round blade 2 and the meat box 5 is stopped, and the slicing of the block meat 13 is completed. Regardless of the reciprocating movement of meat box 5,
The scraper 9 at the tip of the slide shaft 8 pressed by the spring 11 remains in contact with the blade back surface 7 of the round blade 2. The general slicing process is to slice raw meat,
When the meat box 5 starts to reciprocate, it is sliced and the cut surface of the block meat 13 bulges toward the round blade 2 and comes into contact with the rotating blade 2 at the same time. , Fat and meat residue adhere to the entire surface of the blade back surface 7. Since the scraper 9 is provided, juice, fat, and meat residue on the blade back surface 7 are removed when the meat box 5 returns. During the slicing operation performed for 4 to 8 hours / day as described above, since the gravy, fat, meat residue, and the like are constantly removed from the blade back surface 7 by the scraper 9, the removal operation becomes unnecessary, and the efficiency of the removal operation is improved. Can be achieved. In addition, it is not necessary to leave the operation position, and workability can be improved.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the removal operation can be selectively executed. That is, the slide shaft 8
The scraper 9 is provided with a hole 16 and engaged with the hole 16.
The pin 17 that prevents the blade from contacting the
Is provided so as to be movable.

The pin 17 is engaged with the hole 16 as shown in FIG. 9 so that the scraper 9 does not come into contact with the blade back surface 7 to stop the removal operation, and the pin 17 is retracted as shown in FIG. Is disengaged, and the scraper 9 is brought into contact with the blade back surface 7 so that the removing operation can be performed.

[0011] When it is determined that the commercial value has decreased due to the attachment of gravy, fat, and meat residues to the surface of the sliced meat piece 12, the removal operation is performed, and when the surface of the meat piece 12 is determined to be good, the removal operation is stopped. You. According to this embodiment,
Compared with the above embodiment, there is an effect that the wear of the scraper 9 is reduced and the life of the scraper 9 can be improved.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the removing operation is automatically executed at the time of slicing, a new removing operation is not required, the operation efficiency can be improved, and the operating position can be increased. This eliminates the necessity and improves workability. In addition, it is possible to selectively execute the removing operation, so that it is possible to obtain operational effects such as the service life of the scraper can be improved.
