[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the chopper slicer of Patent Document 1, when slicing frozen meat, the slice pieces that have fallen on the conveyor are slipped by the momentum of falling and do not align in a certain direction, and are not aligned along the transport surface. There is a drawback that post-processing is time-consuming, for example, it is necessary to rearrange them.
The slicers of Patent Documents 2 and 3 have a drawback that when frozen meat is sliced, sliced pieces in a frozen state stick to each other and it is difficult to maintain a desired alignment state. From the above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is mainly due to the disadvantage of slicing frozen meat with a chopper slicer, i.e., it is difficult to align slice pieces individually falling on the conveyor on the conveyor surface. It is intended to eliminate the inconvenience of the sticking of the slice pieces by removing them and eliminating the use of the receiving support plate for stacking and dropping the slice pieces individually onto the conveyor.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention automatically places a tool that rotates at a fixed position on the machine base and a material that is placed on the machine base with the front end face along the blade surface of the tool, and the loaded material. In the meat slicer transportation apparatus comprising a meat box to be fed to and a transport conveyor for receiving and transporting the slice piece cut by the blade with the front end below the front part of the meat box, the transport conveyor The primary conveyor is formed in two stages: a primary conveyor that receives sliced pieces cut off by the blade and a secondary conveyor that has a step between the end of the primary conveyor and the front end of which is positioned. The slicing piece after adjusting the posture is provided at the end of the dam by damming the slice piece sent to the conveyor and adjusting the posture in a direction substantially perpendicular to the feeding direction. There is provided a conveying apparatus slices in meat slicer, characterized by being configured to cause transferred onto the next conveyor.
[0006]
In the present invention configured as described above, slice pieces that are in a frozen state even after being cut off are individually dropped on the primary conveyor so that they do not stick to each other. Further, the misalignment state due to the slip on the conveying surface is corrected by contact with the dam plate at the terminal end on the primary conveyor and transferred to the secondary conveyor, so that the use of the receiving support plate can be omitted.
In the apparatus of the present invention, the rotational speed of the blade, the feed speed of the material in the meat box, and the primary and secondary conveyor speeds can be arbitrarily set experimentally according to the conditions such as the quality and size of the material. Is easily conceivable from the drive control device of the conventional chopper slicer. As described above, the present invention solves the above-described problems.
[0007]
When a chopper slicer provided with a slanted blade is used as the blade for the slicer used in the apparatus of the present invention, slice pieces having a desired thickness can be obtained at high speed from frozen meat. In addition, the alignment effect by the dam plate is significantly improved.

Fig. 5 is a side view in the case where a plurality of aligned slice pieces are transported while being divided into stacks, Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 6 is a front view showing a meat box and a blade portion with the cover open. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the embodiment.
[0009]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the slicer (chopper slicer) S used in the example is fixed to a rotating shaft 3 provided at the center of a cutter frame 2 that is tilted forward and installed on the machine base 1. A blade-shaped blade 4 that rotates at a position, and a material M that is opened on one side of the blade frame 2 with its front end face along the rotation surface of the blade 4 and sandwiched between upper and lower conveyors (not shown). A meat box 5 that is automatically fed toward 4, and a conveyor 6 that receives and conveys a slice piece 7 that is cut off by the blade 4 by placing a front end 6 ′ below the front of the meat box 5. In the figure, 2 ′ is a cover of the blade frame 2.
[0010]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, there is a step between the primary conveyor 6 a that receives the slice piece 7 cut off by the blade 4 below the cutting position and the terminal end 6 ″ of the primary conveyor 6 a as shown in FIGS. 8 is formed in two stages on the upper and lower sides of the secondary conveyor 6b where the front end 6 'is positioned, and the slicing piece 7 sent to the conveyor is dammed to the terminal end 6 "of the primary conveyor 6a. A dam plate 9 for adjusting the posture in a direction orthogonal to the feed direction is provided.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the dam plate 9 is attached to the conveyor frame 10 in an inverted L shape at the terminal end 6 ″ of the primary conveyor 6a, and is provided with the terminal end 6 ″ of the conveyor 6a separated appropriately. The front edge of the slice piece 7 sent on the primary conveyor 6a is dammed up by the vertical portion 9 ', and the slice piece 7 which is pushed by the conveyor 6a and corrected in the right angle to the conveying direction is placed on the secondary conveyor 6b. It functions to be transferred to.
Needless to say, the distance from the end portion 6 ″ of the primary conveyor 6a to the vertical portion 9 ′ of the dam plate 9 can be adjusted to an appropriate position in actual use.
[0012]
The slice piece 7 transferred onto the secondary conveyor 6b is overlapped in a scale state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 by driving the secondary conveyor 6b at a speed lower than the primary conveyor 6a as appropriate. , Can be continuously conveyed. In addition, if the intermittent operation is performed in which the direction of the conveyor 6b is paused until a desired plurality of sheets are stacked at the transfer position to the secondary conveyor 6b, the slice pieces 7 can be transported while being divided into a plurality of sheets. .
[0013]
Next, the operation of the present apparatus will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the user selects whether to perform the stacking division operation or the continuous scale operation.
In the case of stacking division operation, only the primary conveyor 6a is initially operated, and the secondary conveyor 6b is stopped and is in a standby state. When the number detection sensor (not shown) detects the set number of slice pieces 7, the secondary conveyor 6b starts operation. The secondary conveyor 6b stops when its running direction reaches an interval width set value corresponding to the interval between the slice pieces 7 stacked, and waits for a signal from the next number detection sensor. By repeating the operation as described above, the present apparatus conveys the slice pieces 7 stacked one by one as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 at intervals.
[0014]
When scale continuous operation is selected, first, the speed of the secondary conveyor 6b is selected in accordance with the set scale length, and the primary conveyor 6a and the secondary conveyor 6b are started to operate. In this case, the speed of the secondary conveyor 6b is synchronized with the cutting speed (slicing speed) of the blade 4 and the speed of the primary conveyor 6a, and an appropriate overlapping portion is formed before and after each slice piece 7. However, the operation is continued until the scaled slice pieces 7 reach a desired length (number), and the operation is restarted, so that each slice piece 7 scaled to a predetermined length is separated. Let it form.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention configured as described above and used as described above, installation of a receiving support plate provided close to the cutting position of the blade can be omitted. Therefore, high-speed slicing using frozen meat as a cutting material can be performed. The alignment function by the dam plate corrects the non-alignment state of the slice pieces placed on the transport surface in the frozen state, so that post-processing following the slice is facilitated.
The present invention has excellent effects as described above.
