Thus, the rotatable crankshaft 21, the crank 24, the connecting rod 35, and the blade mount 30 of the reciprocating drive unit 2 form an offset type slider crank mechanism, and the electric motor 23 rotates the crank 21. As a result, the blade mount 30 reciprocates up and down along the guide column 15.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 1, the blade mount 30 is configured as a rectangular frame, and two blades 36 that intersect in the reciprocating direction of the blade mount 30 and extend in the width direction. It is provided before and after 30 reciprocating directions. On the bottom surface of the blade mounting base 30, except for the mounting portion of the blade 36, a backing plate 36a and a receiving plate 30b are provided. The abutment plate 36a is provided at a position on the blade edge side of the blade 36, and receives the leading end of the block meat B to regulate the slice thickness (see FIG. 6). On the other hand, the receiving plate 30b is provided on the side opposite to the cutting edge of the blade 36, and receives the end of the sliced block meat B.
[0025]
With reference to FIG. 4, the structure of the blade 36 of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4B, the blade 36 has a blade bracket 37, an X blade 38 screwed to the upper surface of the blade bracket 37 and slicing the meat from the meat block B to a predetermined thickness, and an X blade 38. And a Y-blade 39 which is attached at a predetermined interval perpendicularly and is sliced or being sliced by the X-blade 38 to a predetermined width. In this embodiment, a Y-blade 39 mounting slit is formed at a predetermined interval in the blade bracket 37, and a concave portion for fixing the Y blade 39 by connecting to the Y-blade 39 mounting slit from the X blade 38 side of the blade bracket 37. 37a. The X blade 38 and the Y blade 39 can be fixed to the blade bracket 37 by driving a pin 39a into the Y blade 39, inserting the pin 39a into the recess 37a, and screwing the X blade 38 from above. .
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 4B, the surface of the blade bracket 37 opposite to the X blade 38 mounting surface and facing a Z blade 40 described later (see FIGS. 1, 5, and 6) is provided. , A large number of grooves 37b intersect with the Z blade 40. In addition, in FIG. 4B, although the large number of grooves 37b are orthogonal to the Z blade 40, the large number of grooves 37b and the Z blade 40 only need to intersect at an appropriate angle.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 2, on the front surface 10a of the main body frame 10, a meat block supply member 3 is provided substantially orthogonal to the front surface 10a (that is, inclined with respect to the horizontal plane), and the meat block B to be sliced is provided. It is sent to the blade mount 30.
[0028]
The meat block supply member 3 of this embodiment has a supply gutter 51B. The supply gutter 51B has a groove in the longitudinal direction (feeding direction) formed on its surface, and is formed in a gutter shape by a bottom surface 51 for guiding the meat block B toward the blade mount 30 and guide plates 51a on both left and right sides. . The guide plate 51a is configured so that it can be appropriately moved and adjusted according to the width of the meat block B. The meat block supply member 3 of the present embodiment further includes a holding conveyor 52 and a pusher 53. The pressing conveyor 52 is supported near the terminal end of the supply gutter 51B so as to be swingable around one end and connected to a driving source (not shown) to guide the meat block B guided on the bottom surface 51. Is pressed and held, and sent toward the blade mount 30. The pusher 53 is actuated by the fluid pressure cylinder 53a to press the rear end portion of the meat block B to feed the meat block B to the blade mount 30 under pressure. In this embodiment, a fluid pressure cylinder is used, but another method such as reciprocating a pusher by rotating a screw by an electric motor may be used.
Normally, as a meat feeding device, the rear end of the meat block B is operated by a pressing conveyor 52 that presses and holds the upper surface of the meat block B and feeds the meat block B toward the blade mount 30 or a fluid pressure cylinder 53a. Either one of the pushers 53 that presses the portion and feeds the meat block B toward the cutting portion is individually provided. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned known two sending devices are combined and configured to solve the problems unique to each.
That is, at the start end of the presser conveyor 52, the pusher 53 is so arranged that the front end of the succeeding meat block B comes into contact with the rear end surface of the meat block B being cut, so that the start end of the conveyor 52 is securely held. The rear end of the succeeding meat block B is pressed. Therefore, the operation of the meat block B can be efficiently continued without a gap at the joint.
Further, when the preceding block B meat is held in the holding conveyor 52, the meat block B is reliably sent out by the holding conveyor 52 and sliced to a predetermined thickness even if the pressing by the pusher 53 is eliminated. At that time, the pusher 53 can be retracted to the start position. In this way, a supply space for the succeeding meat block B is secured between the rear end face of the preceding meat block B and the front surface of the pusher 53. Therefore, unlike the feeding apparatus using only the pusher 53, the slicing operation can be continuously performed by successively supplying the meat blocks B without interrupting the slicing operation.
Note that only one of the presser conveyor 52 and the pusher 53 may be installed, but in this case, the effect of installing both the presser conveyor 52 and the pusher 53 described above is not exhibited.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 2, the meat block supply member 3 of this embodiment has a lower end portion 20a pivotally attached to the front surface 10a of the main body frame 10 by a pin 60 so as to be swingable. It can swing between a maintenance position indicated by a two-dot chain line. Therefore, in the steady operation state, the meat block supply member 3 is at the meat supply position indicated by the solid line in FIG. On the other hand, at the time of maintenance such as a washing operation after the slicing operation, the meat block supply member 3 is swung around the pin 60 to be in the maintenance position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is widely opened and the maintenance of the surroundings can be performed efficiently.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 2, a sliced meat take-out portion 54 is provided below the guide member 1 of the blade mounting base 30 and on the side opposite to the meat block supply member 3, and the meat sliced to a predetermined thickness and width. Is to receive. In the present embodiment, the starting end of the take-out conveyor 55 is configured to face the take-out part 54, and the sliced meat is taken out and conveyed through the conveyer 55.
[0031]
When the meat sliced to a predetermined thickness and width is further cut to a predetermined length, the blade 36 (X blade, Y blade) of the blade mounting base 30 is provided on the rear surface 10b of the main body frame 10 with a predetermined thickness. Further, a Z blade 40 for cutting meat sliced to a predetermined length into a predetermined length is provided on the side opposite to the X blade.
[0032]
As shown in FIG. 5, the Z blade 40 of the present embodiment has a pair of left and right frame bodies 41, a plurality of band blades 42 parallel to each other, with the cutting edges thereof orthogonal to the moving direction of the tool mount 30. The blade mounting base 30 is provided to extend in the width direction. As shown in FIG. 3, a crank shaft 43 is rotatably protruded from the reciprocating drive unit 2 described above. An electric motor 44 is connected to the rear end of the crankshaft 43 via a speed reducer, as shown in FIG. A crank 45 is integrally connected to the front end of the crankshaft 43, as shown in FIG. The tip of the crank 45 and the frame 41 are connected by a connecting rod 46. In this way, the Z blade 40 can reciprocate in a direction crossing the moving direction of the blade mount 30, that is, in the width direction of the blade mount 30.
[0033]
The operation of the above embodiment will be described. The meat block supply member 3 is set to the meat supply position shown by a solid line in FIG. 2, the meat block B is placed on the bottom surface 51, and the tip of the meat block B is inclined by the inclination of the bottom surface 51 and the pressing conveyor 52 and the pusher 53. The meat block B is pushed and held by the holding conveyor 52 until the meat block B comes into contact with the abutment plate 30a. In this state, the blade mount 30 on which the two blades 36 are mounted is reciprocated up and down.
As described above, the blade mounting base 30 is provided with two blades 36 that intersect in the reciprocating direction of the blade mounting base 30 and extend in the width direction, and are provided before and after in the reciprocating direction of the blade mounting base 30. Each blade 36 includes an X blade 38 for slicing meat to a predetermined thickness and a Y blade 39 for cutting the meat to a predetermined width.
[0034]
Accordingly, as the blade mount 30 moves in the slicing direction (downward direction in this embodiment), as shown in FIG. 6, the X blade 38 gradually slices the meat from the meat block B to a predetermined thickness. I do. At the same time, the meat sliced or being sliced by the X blade 38 is cut into a predetermined width by the Y blade 39 attached to the X blade 38 at a predetermined interval perpendicular to the X blade 38. In this embodiment, since two blades 36 are attached to the blade mounting base 30 in the moving direction in the front and rear direction, as shown in FIG. Slicing, the slicing operation can be performed twice by one operation of the blade mount 30, and the operation efficiency of the slicer is improved.
[0035]
Further, a Z blade 40 is provided on the side of the blade bracket 37 opposite to the X blade 38, and the meat sliced into a predetermined thickness and width by the X blade 38 and the Y blade 39 is cut into a predetermined length. In this case, when the X blade 38 moves together with the blade mount 30, the meat may be taken out by the blade 36 at the end of cutting from the meat block B and may not be cut by the Z blade 40.
[0036]
As a countermeasure against this, the blade bracket 37 (the side of the blade mounting base 30 opposite to the meat block supplying member) is cut (see t in FIG. 6), or the Z blade 40 is retracted to the side of the blade mounting base 30 so that the Z blade 40 An interval for holding the sliced meat at the end of cutting is provided between the tip of the blade and the blade mounting base 30, and the sliced meat is sliced by the Z blade 40 until the sliced meat is separated from the block meat B by the X blade 38 and the Y blade 39. To prevent the sliced meat from being taken out by the cutting tool 36 at the end of cutting from the meat block B, so that the sliced meat having a predetermined thickness, width and length can be reliably cut out. preferable.
[0037]
Further, in order to prevent the sliced meat from adhering to the Z blade 40 and to perform the cutting reliably, it is preferable to reciprocate the Z blade 40 in the width direction of the tool mount 30 as described above. In this case, when the Z blade 40 moves, the meat sliced to a predetermined thickness and width by the X blade 38 and the Y blade 39 is moved as the Z blade 40 moves, and the meat cannot be cut by the Z blade 40. is there. As a countermeasure for this, as shown in FIG. 4C, a large number of grooves 37 b are provided on the blade bracket 37, that is, on the surface of the blade mount 30 facing the Z blade 40 so as to intersect with the moving direction of the Z blade 40. It is preferable to form the sliced meat so as to prevent the sliced meat from being moved by the Z blade 40, and to surely cut out the sliced meat having a predetermined thickness, width and length.
[0038]
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the above-described embodiment, in order to surely separate the sliced meat with the Z blade, the cutting edge of the band blade 42 and the lower surface of the blade mount 30 (the surface facing the cutting edge of the band blade 42) should be in slight contact. Is desirable. However, in reality, there is some gap between the blade edge of the band blade 42 and the blade mounting base 30 for reasons such as wear prevention of the blade edge and processing / assembly accuracy. Therefore, when sliced beef or the like with a lot of muscle is sliced using the above-described embodiment, the muscle cannot be completely separated by the band blade 42, and the muscle is caught in the gap, and the sliced meat hangs from the band blade 42. It may remain.
[0039]
Even in such a case, when the subsequent block meat B comes, it is extruded while being sequentially cut, so that there is usually no particular problem. However, when the X blade 38 is inclined with respect to the slicing direction as in the above-described embodiment, the block meat B is sliced while being pressed to one side. For this reason, when the block meat B is reduced in size with slicing, the meat piece left on the non-pressing side does not come to the subsequent meat, so that it is not pressed against the blade surface of the Z blade 40 (band blade 42). Then, the next largest block meat B is supplied, and remains as it is hanging from the band blade 42 as shown in FIG. 8 until the sliced meat B is sliced.
In addition, if the slicing operation is performed continuously for a long time, in addition to the above-described problem caused by the streaks, fats, meat pieces, and the like adhere to and accumulate on the surface of the band blade 42 and the lower surface of the blade mount 30, and the cutting is performed. This may interfere with the discharge of sliced meat.
[0040]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a Z-blade is constituted by a plurality of band blades 42 parallel to each other, and a scraper 80 that intersects and engages with the band blade 42 is provided. Reciprocating in the direction. By moving the piece of meat remaining and stagnating with the scraper, the piece of meat remaining and stagnating around the band blade 42 is moved with respect to the band blade 42, so that the sandwiched streaks can be cut at the blade surface, The scraper is extruded, and the scraper is moved so that oil and meat pieces can be scraped off from the surface of the band blade 42 and the lower surface of the blade mount 30.
[0041]
Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 5 of the above-described embodiment, and shows the structure of the Z blade 40 and the scraper 80. FIG. 8 corresponds to FIG. 6 of the above-described embodiment, and is a partial cross-sectional view showing the relative positional relationship between the blade bracket 37, the band blade 42, and the scraper 80 in the cut-out portion of the meat block B. FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view of the scraper 80 viewed from a direction crossing the moving direction (the side surface direction in FIG. 8).
[0042]
In FIG. 7, the left and right frame members 41 and the upper and lower frame members 41a are combined to form a rectangular frame, and a plurality of band blades 42 parallel to each other are provided between the left and right frame members 41. It is held parallel to the body 41a. Round pipes are used for the upper and lower frame bodies 41a, and serve as a guide for reciprocating movement of the Z blade 40 and a reciprocating movement of the scraper 80 described below.
[0043]
A square base frame 81 is appropriately attached to the main body frame 10 described above. Left and right metal portions 41b are respectively provided to protrude toward the inside of the base frame 81 at intermediate positions between the upper and lower sides of the base frame 81, and the metal portions 41b are loosely engaged with the frame 41a.
The frame 41 and the tip of the crank 45 are connected by a connecting rod 46 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, and between the outer surface of the metal part 41b and the inner surface of the frame 41, the frame 41 In FIG. 7, it reciprocates right and left together with the band blade 40 (band blade 42).
[0044]
The scraper 80 is manufactured using a plate material such as a resin. As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of grooves 80b are cut into the upper end of the scraper 80, and the plurality of band blades 42 are fitted in the grooves 80b with a minimum gap. The upper end surface of the scraper 80 is brought as close as possible to the lower surface of the blade mount 30 (the surface facing the cutting edge of the band blade 42).
Referring to FIG. 7 again, metal portions 80a are provided at both ends of the scraper 80, and the metal portions 80a are loosely fitted to the frame 41a to hold the scraper 80 movably on the frame 41a.
[0045]
As shown in FIG. 7, one of the upper and lower ends of the scraper 80 is further extended upward or downward. An air cylinder 84 is attached to the base frame 81, and the extension of the scraper 80 is connected to the tip of the rod of the air cylinder 84. The expansion and contraction of the air cylinder 84 causes the scraper 80 to move left and right along the frame 41a. Can be moved.
The scrapers 80 are alternately engaged with the plurality of band blades 42, and the scrapers 80 are provided so as to be able to reciprocate in the blade surface direction of the band blades 42. By forcibly moving with respect to the band blade 42, cutting is performed on the blade surface, extruded with the subsequent meat, or by scraping grease or a piece of meat from the surface of the band blade 42 or the lower surface of the blade mount 30. We always maintain a clean state so as not to hinder continuous work.
In this case, if the inside surface of the scraper 80 has a receding angle α as shown in FIG. 9, it is convenient to discharge meat pieces and the like accumulated on the lower surface of the tool rest 30.
Other configurations of this embodiment are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
[0046]
The scraper 80 is disposed so as to be able to reciprocate within a predetermined range between the inside position B and the outside position A of the supply port 83 of the block meat B surrounded by the virtual gland in FIG. The reciprocating drive device may be replaced by a crank system, and furthermore, the blade mount 30 or the link or cam utilizing the reciprocating motion of the Z blade holding frame 41 may be roughly connected and appropriately connected and driven. Good.
[0047]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, two sets of scrapers 80 are provided symmetrically and moved inward, but it is needless to say that any one set may be used. When the X blade 38 is inclined with respect to the slicing direction and sliced while pressing the block meat B to one side as in the above-described embodiment, the uncut meat piece is moved toward the pressing side. Only one set may be provided only on the non-pressing side so that the subsequent meat can be extruded.
[0048]
The moving range of the scraper 80 is also desirably configured to cover the entire area of the supply port 88 of the block meat B, but it may be configured to cover only a part where there are many pieces of the remaining meat.
[0049]
Further, according to the above-described embodiment and this embodiment, when the tool mount 30 that reciprocates in the vertical direction descends, the X blade 38 and the Y blade 39 cut out the block meat B, and the Z blade 40 (band). It is configured to cut laterally with the blade 42). In this case, in this embodiment, it is desirable that the scraper 80 be set so as to reciprocate only within a stroke in which the blade mounting base 30 finishes the cutting stroke and rises and returns.
[0050]
When the Z blade 40 (band blade 42) is configured to reciprocate as in this embodiment, the scraper 80 is moved so that the moving direction of the scraper 80 is opposite to the moving direction of the Z blade (band blade 42). It is effective to set the movement timing of the blade and the Z blade (band blade 42) in association with each other to remove the remaining meat pieces and the like.
Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a nozzle 86 for blowing out compressed air a is provided so as to open toward the meat piece remaining and stagnant around the band blade 42 so that the compressed air a acts on the meat piece remaining and stagnated. If the compressed air is blown out in connection with the movement of 80, it is more effective to remove the remaining meat pieces and the like.
[0051]
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a detailed sectional view of a portion corresponding to the cut portion in FIG. 2 described above. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of FIG.
[0052]
In a slicer for slicing meat, the slice thickness is usually adjusted by moving the backing plate 36a with respect to the blade 38 in the feeding direction of the block meat B. However, in the configuration in which the Z blade 40 is provided on the side opposite to the block meat supply member of the reciprocating blade mounting base 80 as in the present invention, when the adjusting plate 36a is adjusted and moved, the adjusting plate 36a moves. Accordingly, the Z blade 40 must move together. This is extremely difficult because the movement of the portion including the driving device of the Z blade 40 is performed.
In addition, it is desirable that the Z-blade facing surface of the contact plate 36a be as close as possible to the cutting edge of the Z-blade. That is, it is necessary to press the uncut sliced meat, which is stagnated and held at the cutting edge of the Z-blade, in a state of being connected before and after, with the following sliced meat, until it is extruded and separated by the Z-blade facing surface of the abutment plate 36a. Because there is. If this gap becomes excessively large, uncut sliced meat falls as it is and mixes into the product, impairing the appearance of the product.
[0053]
For the above-mentioned reason, in the present embodiment, the Z blade facing surface of the abutment plate 36a is kept close to the Z blade, and only the receiving surface side of the meat block B is moved with respect to the X blade 38. , The meat block B can be freely moved in and out of the feeding direction.
As a specific means, the contact plate 36a in which the distance between the receiving surface side of the meat block B and the X blade 38 has a desired slice thickness can be detachably attached to the frame constituting the blade mount 30 with bolts 36d or the like. Attach. When a plurality of backing plates 36a having different thicknesses are prepared and the slice thickness is desired to be changed, an appropriate thickness of the backing plate 36a is set according to the distance between the receiving surface side of the meat block B and the X blade 38 described above. By selecting the plate 36a and exchanging it, the slice thickness can be easily changed.
As another method, the structure is complicated, but the contact plate 36a may be divided into two layers so that only the receiving surface side of the meat block can be adjusted with a set screw or the like.
[0054]
Further, in the present embodiment, the end surface of the supply gutter 51B formed in a gutter shape by the bottom surface 51 for guiding the meat block B toward the blade mount 30 and the left and right guide plates 51a is attached to the meat of the abutment plate 36a. It is configured so that it can be freely moved toward and away from the block receiving surface, so that the slice thickness can be adjusted.
That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the terminal end of the supply gutter 51B is shortened in advance. The extension piece 51C is detachably attached to the end of the supply gutter 51B with a bolt or the like so that the distance of the abutment plate 36a to the meat block receiving surface becomes a desired value. The extension piece 51C has a horseshoe shape or an L-shaped cross-sectional shape composed of the bottom surface 51 and one of the left and right guide plates 51a, and extension pieces 51C of various thicknesses are prepared in advance.
[0055]
In the slicing method as in the present invention, it is desirable that the distance between the X blade 38 and the Z blade 40 is as small as possible. The reason is that the meat block B is pressed to the Z blade 40 while being sliced by the moving X blade 38. At this time, if the distance is large, the meat block B is pushed obliquely to the Z blade 40, and the cross section after cutting is cut. The shape becomes a rhombus. This tendency becomes more pronounced as the distance increases.
[0056]
By the way, many beef and pork are processed into so-called slices having a slice thickness of about 1.5 to 3 mm. In this case, the adjustment range of the slice thickness may be relatively small. However, chicken requires a slice thickness of about 10 mm, which is significantly different from sliced beef or the like.
[0057]
Therefore, based on such circumstances, an optimal method for adjusting the slice thickness is proposed as follows.
That is, when slicing beef or the like, the above-described distance is set to a minimum, and the slice thickness is adjusted only by changing the distance between the X blade 38 and the meat block receiving surface of the abutment plate 36a as described above. .
On the other hand, when it is desired to cut chicken or the like thickly, the backing plate 36a is left as it is and replaced with a thin addition piece 51C in order to retract the end surface of the supply gutter 51B. At the same time, it is replaced with a blade cutter 37 for thick cutting holding an X blade 38 whose distance to the receiving surface of the backing plate 36a has a desired slice thickness, and a receiving plate 36b for thin cutting having the same thickness as the bracket 37.
Note that these adjusting means can be changed as appropriate, such as laying a thickness adjusting plate or adjusting using screws, without being limited to component replacement.
[0058]
