Description

本発明は主におでんに使用する輪切大根を、短時間で大量に自動面取加工をする食品加工分野に属する。 This invention belongs to the food processing field | area which carries out the automatic chamfering process in large quantities in a short time for the round radish mainly used for an oden.

コンビニエンスストア等でおでんが売られているが、その中での一番人気が大根である。そのため、原料用の輪切大根の需要が急増している。ところが、おでん用輪切大根の品質基準は厳しく、角が少し欠けた程度で不良となってしまう。そのため、この角の欠けを目立たなくして、不良品を良品に変える手段が渇望されていた。また、本来のおでん大根は面取りされているものであり、他社との差別化のためにも、面取りが待望されていた。 Oden is sold at convenience stores, but the most popular among them is radish. For this reason, the demand for raw radish for raw materials is increasing rapidly. However, the quality standards for oden daikon radish are strict. For this reason, there has been a craving for a means to make the defective chip into a non-defective product without making the corner chip inconspicuous. In addition, the original oden radish was chamfered, and chamfering was awaited for differentiation from other companies.

しかしながら、特許公開平８−１９６２５５のような装置では実用上問題があり、おでんの大根は大部分が面取り無しである。中には面取り有りのものもあるが、人海戦術で作られている。
特開平８−１９６２５５号公報 However, there is a practical problem with an apparatus such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-196255, and most of oden radishes are not chamfered. Some of them are chamfered, but they are made with human naval tactics.
JP-A-8-196255

本発明の最終目的は、おでん用輪切大根における不良品の良品化と、大根おでんの高級化とを、低コストで大量に供給することにある。前記のような従来の装置では、全周・左右とも均一に面取りすることが難しかったが、本発明はこの課題を解決しようとするものである。 The final object of the present invention is to supply a large amount of defective daikon radish and high quality radish oden at low cost. In the conventional apparatus as described above, it has been difficult to chamfer the entire circumference, left and right uniformly, but the present invention is intended to solve this problem.

本発明は挟圧手段、隠し刃手段、面取手段及び保持手段を具備し、これら各手段をカムやソレノイド等を用いてタイミングよく相関作動させて、輪切大根を自動的に面取りすることで解決した。 The present invention comprises a clamping means, a hidden blade means, a chamfering means, and a holding means, and these means are correlated and actuated in a timely manner using cams, solenoids, etc. to automatically chamfer the radish radish. Settled.

本発明は大量の輪切大根を短時間に全周・左右共均一に面取りでき、不良減によるコスト低下、省人化、省資源はもちろん、大根おでんの高級化等の効果がある。 The present invention is capable of chamfering a large amount of daikon radish all over the circumference and right and left evenly in a short time, and has effects such as cost reduction, labor saving and resource saving due to defective reduction, as well as upgrading of radish oden.

挟圧手段、隠し刃手段、面取手段、保持手段及び供給手段の各手段を並設して、同時に多数の面取りをできるようにした形態。 A configuration in which a plurality of chamfering means can be simultaneously performed by arranging each means of the clamping means, the hidden blade means, the chamfering means, the holding means and the supply means.

図１、２、３は本発明の基本構成を示し、モーター、カム、架台その他の図示は省略している。図１は平面図、図２は図１中のＢ−Ｂ一部省略断面図、図３は図２の一部省略中央断面図、図４は隠し刃手段の側面図、図５は隠し刃手段の正面図である。 1, 2 and 3 show the basic configuration of the present invention, and illustrations of the motor, cam, frame and others are omitted. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a partially omitted sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a partially omitted central sectional view of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a side view of the hidden blade means, and FIG. It is a front view of a means.

図１において、挟圧手段１は左右にあって、双方またはどちらか一方が軸方向に移動でき、さらに歯車１５を介して電動で回転する。また、大根Ａをソフトに押圧するために、コイルバネ６を設ける。 In FIG. 1, the clamping means 1 is on the left and right, and either one or both of them can move in the axial direction, and further rotate electrically through a gear 15. A coil spring 6 is provided to softly press the radish A.

隠し刃手段４は図４、５に示すように、先端に隠し刃５を有し、挟圧手段１の中心部に、摺動可能に内蔵され、挟圧手段１と共に回転する。大根Ａが挟圧されるまでは、隠し刃５は挟圧手段１の溝２に隠れている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the hidden blade means 4 has a hidden blade 5 at the tip, is slidably incorporated in the center of the clamping means 1, and rotates together with the clamping means 1. Until the radish A is pinched, the hidden blade 5 is hidden in the groove 2 of the pinching means 1.

面取手段７は、面取刃８、アーム９及び基板１０とで構成され、大根Ａに対して半径方向に作動する。 The chamfering means 7 includes a chamfering blade 8, an arm 9, and a substrate 10, and operates in a radial direction with respect to the radish A.

保持手段１１は連結板１３を介して未加工大根の落下を防ぐ役目をするストッパー１２を有する。 The holding means 11 has a stopper 12 that serves to prevent the unprocessed radish from falling through the connecting plate 13.

次に作動を説明する。図２、３に示すように大根Ａ、Ａa、Ａbは、供給手段１４から連続的に供給される。
以下、輪切りされた大根が投入されてから面取完了するまでの工程を、順を追って記す。
（１）大根Ａが供給手段１４内を落下し、保持手段１１で保持される。このとき、大根Ａの上にはＡa、Ａbというように数個重なっている。
（２）大根Ａが保持手段１１に保持された途端、図３に示すように挟圧手段１が矢印方向に動いて大根Ａを挟圧する。同時に保持手段１１も矢印方向に動いてストッパー１２が大根ＡとＡaの間に挿入される。（図２参照） Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, radishes A, Aa, and Ab are continuously supplied from the supply means 14.
Hereinafter, the process from the introduction of the cut radish to the completion of chamfering will be described in order.
(1) The radish A falls in the supply means 14 and is held by the holding means 11. At this time, several radish Aa and Ab overlap on the radish A.
(2) As soon as the radish A is held by the holding means 11, the pinching means 1 moves in the direction of the arrow to pinch the radish A as shown in FIG. At the same time, the holding means 11 also moves in the direction of the arrow, and the stopper 12 is inserted between the radishes A and Aa. (See Figure 2)

（３）このとき、保持手段１１は大根Ａの下部から離れているが、大根Ａは挟圧されているので落下しない。
（４）大根Ａが挟圧されると隠し刃手段４が矢印方向に動いて隠し刃５が大根Ａに食い込む。途端に挟圧手段１が回転を始める。すると面取手段７が矢印方向に動いて面取刃８が大根Ａの外周端部を面取りする。このとき、大根Ａには切削抵抗が働くので、挟圧手段１の大根接面３との間で滑り、回らないおそれがある。つまり、隠し刃５は、大根Ａの滑り止めと、大根Ａに切込み（隠し包丁ともいう。）を入れて味のしみ込み並びに煮上がりを早くする働きをする。
なお、大根Ａの滑り止め対策としては、挟圧手段１の大根接面３に、粗面や突起等の摩擦増大処理を施しても良い。隠し包丁を要求されない場合は、該処理を採用することによって、隠し刃手段４を省略できる。 (3) At this time, the holding means 11 is separated from the lower portion of the radish A, but the radish A is pinched and does not fall.
(4) When the radish A is pinched, the hidden blade means 4 moves in the direction of the arrow, and the hidden blade 5 bites into the radish A. As soon as the clamping means 1 starts rotating. Then, the chamfering means 7 moves in the direction of the arrow, and the chamfering blade 8 chamfers the outer peripheral end of the radish A. At this time, since cutting resistance acts on the radish A, there is a risk that the radish A will slip and not rotate with the radish contact surface 3 of the clamping means 1. That is, the hidden blade 5 works to prevent slipping of the radish A and to cut the radish A (also referred to as a hidden knife) so that the taste can be soaked and cooked quickly.
In order to prevent the radish A from slipping, the surface of the radish 3 of the clamping means 1 may be subjected to a friction increasing process such as a rough surface or a protrusion. When the hidden knife is not required, the hidden blade means 4 can be omitted by adopting the process.

（５）挟圧手段１は、大根Ａを挟圧したまま１回転余回転すると回転を停止する。同時に面取手段７は矢印と反対方向に動いて大根Ａから離れ、面取加工が終了する。なお、図１に示す大根Ａは面取りされた状態である。
（６）すると挟圧手段１と隠し刃手段４が矢印と反対方向に動いて隠し刃５が引っ込み、同時に挟圧も無くなり、大根Ａは落下する。このとき、直上の大根Ａaはストッパー１２によって保持され、落下しないで加工待機状態になる。 (5) The pinching means 1 stops rotating when the radish A is pinched and further rotated once more. At the same time, the chamfering means 7 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow to leave the radish A, and the chamfering process is completed. Note that the radish A shown in FIG. 1 is chamfered.
(6) Then, the pinching means 1 and the hidden blade means 4 move in the direction opposite to the arrow, and the hidden blade 5 is retracted. At the same time, the pinching pressure disappears, and the radish A falls. At this time, the radish Aa immediately above is held by the stopper 12, and does not fall into a processing standby state.

（７）大根Ａが落下した途端、保持手段１１は図３に示す位置に戻る。同時にストッパー１２も大根Ａaの下部から離脱する。すると大根Ａaは保持手段１１上に落下し、保持される。
（８）前記（２）項からの面取りサイクルが始まる。 (7) As soon as the radish A falls, the holding means 11 returns to the position shown in FIG. At the same time, the stopper 12 is also detached from the lower part of the radish Aa. Then, the radish Aa falls on the holding means 11 and is held.
(8) The chamfering cycle from the item (2) starts.

供給手段を除く前記各手段は、相互に関連してカム等を介してタイミングよく動作するようにしてある。また、図の簡略化のために各手段を１組で図示してあるが、実際は並設する。例えば１０組並設すれば、１サイクル１０個の面取りができ、１時間に１５０００から２００００個の量産が可能になる。 The means other than the supply means operate in a timely manner via a cam or the like in relation to each other. For simplification of the drawing, each means is shown as a set, but in actuality they are arranged side by side. For example, if 10 sets are arranged in parallel, chamfering of 10 pieces per cycle is possible, and mass production of 15000 to 20000 pieces per hour becomes possible.

おでんは、冬しか売られていなかったものであるが、今や年中市販されるようになった。したがっておでん用輪切大根の需要は急増している。そのため、該大根の不良率低下と高級化は切望されており、それを可能にする本発明の利用可能性は高い。 Oden, which was only sold in the winter, is now on the market all year round. Therefore, demand for oden daikon radish is increasing rapidly. For this reason, there is an urgent need to lower the defect rate and upgrade the radish, and the applicability of the present invention that makes it possible is high.
