Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for slicing massive vegetables such as onions, scabs, and potatoes.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional apparatus for slicing the vegetables by pressing the massive vegetables against the rotating blade from the side can slice the massive vegetables in proportion to the thickness of the gap between the rotating blade and a wall parallel to the rotating blade. However, there is a problem in efficiency because the structure is basically chopping vegetables one by one. However, if the idea is changed, it is possible to create a device that supports a large number of rotating blades in parallel on a shaft and simultaneously cuts massive vegetables by simultaneous rotation of the plurality of blades. However, due to the working pressure of the multiple rotating blades, the vegetables tend to become unstable, and the pressure of the multiple blades becomes a force close to crushing the vegetables. For example, it is not suitable as a slicer for pickled vegetables displayed on the market.
[0003]
[Solution]
In order to efficiently provide sliced vegetables having a beautiful cut surface, the present invention provides a first rotating shaft in which a number of cutting blades are helically arranged in a part around the axis, and the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft installed in parallel with the shaft, a drum around the second rotating shaft that forms a passage groove for each of the cutting blades in parallel around the second rotating shaft, and a predetermined number of vegetables for placing vegetables formed on the drum peripheral surface. The helical cutting blades of the first rotation shaft are arranged in a V-shape so that the two outermost blades are the topmost ones in the coaxial rotation direction. The first rotation is performed so that the vegetables to be replenished in the hollow seat are fed into the rest area around the first rotation axis, which appears each time the respective cutting blade passes through each groove of the drum every rotation. Means are provided for synchronizing the rotation between the shaft and the second rotation shaft.
[0004]
Each of the cutting blades provided on the first rotating shaft is arranged in a V-shape so that the two outermost blades are at the forefront in the coaxial rotation direction. For this reason, at the same time as the start of cutting, the two blades on both sides cut into the vegetable at the same time, hold down the play of the same vegetable in both sides, and successively cut the same vegetable from both ends by biting the next two blades one after another. I have to slice it. The means for synchronously rotating the continuously rotating first rotating shaft and the intermittently rotating second rotating shaft includes a recess seat in the idle area of the first rotating shaft immediately after passage of each cutting blade in each groove of the drum. The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are aligned with each other so as to feed the vegetables. In other words, every time the rotary blade of the first rotary shaft is almost half rotated to complete the slicing, the drum feeds the vegetables aiming at the idle area of the rotary blade, so that the continuous slicing operation can be performed without time loss. You can.
[0005]
For example, the conventional pickled kabori pickles were not uniform in shape and thickness, but by automatically placing the scabs divided into 4 to 8 equally in each of the recesses for placing vegetables, the scabs were automatically shaped into ginkgo leaves. This makes it possible to provide pickles having a display effect that is almost uniform in shape and thickness. In this case, the stealing portions at the bottoms of the V-shaped concave seats are effective in preventing the crushing of the acute angle portion of the umbrella.
[0006]
Compare the cutting blades, which are V-shaped as a whole so that the two outermost blades are at the forefront, with the spacing between the leading blade and the blade immediately after it. ing. In short, since a large power is required to make a large number of blades bite into a vegetable at the same time, the cutting effect is improved by sequentially increasing the intervals between the blades.
[0007]
The vegetable cutting pressure by the rotary blade is to press the vegetable against the thin-walled parallel partition wall plate of the hollow seat to prevent the vegetable from floating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The first rotating shaft 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a number of long blade-shaped cutting blades 11 fixed in parallel in a region 12 surrounded by a two-dot chain line, and rotates continuously in the direction of arrow 13. In the area 12 indicated by the two-dot chain line, as shown in FIG. 2, nine cutting blades 10 are arranged at an angle shift of a fixed angle, but more precisely, as shown in FIG. Nineteen cutting blades 11a to 11i are arranged in a V-shape in the direction of rotation. The region 12 indicated by the two-dot chain line where each of the cutting blades is present occupies an angle range slightly larger than 180 degrees, and since there is no cutting blade in the remaining range of less than 180 degrees, the region is called a rest area. .
[0009]
On the other hand, the details of the drum 23 fixed to the second rotating shaft 22 in FIG. 1 are as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, 20 circular and large-diameter plates 24 and 19 small-diameter spacers 25 are alternately overlapped. The second rotating shaft 22 is fixed to the second rotating shaft 22 with a nut 27 via two reinforcing plates 26 on both outer sides, and a passage groove 28 of the cutting blade 11 is formed between the respective plates 24.
[0010]
The overall view of the device shown in FIG. 5 supports the first rotation shaft 10 and the second rotation shaft 22 in parallel in the casing 30, and the first rotation shaft 10 has the cutting blade 11 already described, While the drum 23 is supported on the second rotating shaft 22, the first rotating shaft 10 and the prime mover 31 are connected via a bevel gear 32, and the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 22 are intermittently rotated. It is connected and configured via a general bus stop 33, which is one type of mechanism.
[0011]
Each time the pin wheel 35 of the intermittent rotation mechanism 33 in FIG. 6 makes one clockwise rotation on the first rotation shaft 10, the groove wheel 36 having four grooves intermittently drives the second rotation shaft 22 by 90 degrees. That is, each time the rotary blade 11 makes one rotation in FIG. 1, the drum 23 makes a quarter turn, and the concave seats 40 formed at four places on the peripheral surface of the drum 23 sequentially contact the first rotary shaft 10. Vegetables 41 sent to the opposite area and replenished in each hollow seat 40 are sliced by each cutting blade 11. In this case, the timing is set so that the feeding of the vegetables 41 by the drum 23 is directed to the rest area immediately after each cutting blade 11 has finished passing through the cutting blade passage gap of the drum 23.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 7, for example, after cutting the upper and lower ribs of the umbrella 50, the umbrella 50 may be divided into 4 to 8 equal parts to form a ginkgo leaf-shaped cut vegetable 51. Since such vegetables 41 can be refilled into the V-shaped recess 40 formed in the drum 23 in FIG. 1, a large number of cuts of uniform thickness are made on the vegetables 41 as shown in FIG. A large number of ginkgo-shaped cut vegetables can be formed.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 9, in order to remove the resistance to the acute angle portion 42 of the cut vegetables 41 caused by the pressing force of each cutting blade, a steal portion 43 is formed at the bottom of the concave seat 40 formed in the large number of circular plates 24 constituting the drum. Is formed, and a product without corner chipping can be formed.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 3, the respective cutting blades 11 are arranged in a V-shape in the direction of rotation, so that the blades 11c on both sides of the leading end bite into the vegetables 41, and the subsequent blades follow and cut sequentially. The force of competing in the center direction from both sides as indicated by the arrow 45 continues to the end due to the cutting blade biting into the vegetables 41, so that the vegetables 41 are stabilized without any special pressing force. Further, when the edge 46 of the recess seat 40 in each parallel partition wall 24 in FIG. 9 which is in contact with the vegetable is thin-bladed as shown in FIG. 10, the vegetable is pressed against the thin-bladed part 46 by the pushing-off force of the cutting blade. Stabilizes without waking.
[0015]
As compared with the distance between the leading blade and the blade immediately after it, each of the cutting blades 11 in FIG. 2 increases the distance between the front and rear blades toward the rear, and gradually reduces the resistance of the vegetables to the cutting blade.
[0016]
In each cutting in FIG. 2, a washer 56 is interposed between 11, and a screw is squeezed from both sides with a nut to maintain an interval between the cutting blades 11, but it is not a complete slice as in FIG. In the case of forming a block for pickles in which a part of vegetables is cut like 11, each cutting blade 11 in FIG. 2 can be replaced with a blade having a small diameter value corresponding to the cut in FIG. 11. .
[0017]
FIG. 12 shows the thrust state of the onion. When processing a spherical vegetable such as potato, it is necessary to make the shape of the hollow seat 40 in FIG. 1 correspond to the spherical vegetable.
[0008]
By setting the cutting blades 11a and the cutting blades 11b alternately or in two jumps among the blades shown linearly in the developed view of FIG. 13, a bifurcated or trifurcated vegetable as shown in FIG. Can be formed by selecting.
