Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in a food slicer wherein cleaning cannot be easily performed due to a narrow clearance between a circular cutter and a support part of a feeder because the support part has a size equivalent to a conveyor part advancing food and being brought close to the circular cutter, so that the circular cutter side tip of the support part is extended close to the circular cutter even if the conveyor part is removed. <P>SOLUTION: The feeder 6 of the food slicer is provided with the conveyor part 31 for advancing the placed food toward the circular cutter 3, and the support part 25 for detachably supporting the base end side of the conveyor part 31 with the cutter side tip projected. Consequently, when the conveyor part 31 is removed from the support part 25, a clearance for cleaning the circular cutter 3 is formed between the support part 25 and the circular cutter 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a food slicer that cuts food such as soft meat such as raw meat chunks into slices having a predetermined thickness.

The conventional food slicer has a contact plate parallel to the cutting surface of the round blade and in parallel with a gap, and between the forward end facing the round blade and the backward end facing the plate. Each time it moves backward and returns to the return end, the soft food such as a raw meat lump is advanced by the cutting thickness and the front end of the food comes into contact with the plate and moves forward. Each time it reaches the forward end, it is provided with a feeder that cuts the cut thickness of the advanced food by the round blade and feeds a piece of food out of the gap. And the removable conveyor part was attached to the feeder, and it was able to remove from the support part of the feeder for cleaning.
In addition, on the front surface of the machine base of the food slicer, there is provided a driving operation lever that the operator grasps with his hand and rotates left and right. When the operation lever is tilted in one of the left and right directions, the round blade is driven to rotate, the feeder at the return end starts to move to the forward end, starts reciprocation, Disconnect. On the other hand, if the operation lever is tilted in the left or right direction, the reciprocating feeder will not stop immediately, but will be braked and stopped at any point after the forward end and before the return end. Stop completely at the return end in front of the person. Further, when the feeder is stopped by braking, the rotational driving of the round blade stops.
Thus, when placing a slice of food as desired on a tray or conveyor, in order to perform a so-called one-sheet cutting operation, an operator tilts the operation lever in one direction and reciprocates the feeder. Immediately afterwards, the operation lever is tilted in the other direction to return the feeder once. After the one-piece cutting operation, a section of food fed from the gap during the forward movement of the feeder is picked and placed as desired on a tray or conveyor. Further, when arranging a large number of food slices as desired on a tray or conveyor, the operation of cutting one piece and the operation of picking and arranging the slices of food are repeated. (Patent Document 1)

JP-A-11-300694

However, since the support part of the feeder from which the conveyor part is removed has a support part of the same size as the conveyor part to be brought close to the vicinity of the round blade, the tip of the support part on the side of the round blade extends to the vicinity of the round blade. The gap between the round blade and the support was narrow and cleaning could not be performed easily. For example, even when food waste generated by cutting food is scattered in the vicinity of the round blade, the cleaning liquid or the like that is sprayed collects food waste and does not flow down and may remain unsanitary even after cleaning.
Moreover, the driving force transmission mechanism connected with the drive shaft of a conveyor part was provided in the front-end | tip of the round blade side of a support part, and food waste might accumulate more.

  In addition, an operator who uses a driving lever as described above to place a slice of food on a tray or conveyor as desired, manually pushes down the driving lever on the machine base and then feeds it out of the gap. Since the section of the food to be picked is picked, the movement trajectory of the hand becomes long and the workability is poor. Moreover, since the cut | disconnected slice is grabbed with the hand which grasped the driving operation lever, if the driving operation lever is dirty, the dirt adheres to the food piece through the palm and is not hygienic.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and the invention according to claim 1
A contact plate that is parallel to the cutting surface of the round blade and in parallel with a gap, and a reciprocating motion from the forward end facing the round blade to the corresponding backward end facing the plate are provided. Each time it moves backward and returns to the return end, the food is advanced by the cutting thickness and the front end of the food is brought into contact with the plate. In a food slicer provided with a feeder for cutting a cut thickness with the round blade and feeding out a cut piece of food from the gap,
The feeder includes a conveyor unit that advances the placed food in a direction of a round blade, and a support unit that protrudes the blade side tip of the conveyor unit and removably supports a base end side. The food slicer is characterized in that a gap for cleaning the round blade is generated between the removed support portion and the round blade.
Thereby, when cleaning the food waste accompanying the work of food slicing, when the conveyor part is removed from the feeder, the round knife is cleaned between the support part of the feeder and the round knife, which is shorter than before. Therefore, it is possible to easily blow away the food waste of the round blade with the cleaning liquid from the supply side, which is excellent in terms of hygiene and shortens the time required for the cleaning operation.

Moreover, in the invention which concerns on Claim 2, this conveyor part supports the shaft body which stretches the endless strip | belt-shaped body in which food is mounted at both ends, this shaft body is rotatably supported, and this support part of this feeder A side plate portion fixed to the side plate portion and a conveyance auxiliary plate erected at the tip of the side plate portion on the round blade side.When the conveyor portion is removed, the conveyance auxiliary plate is also removed, and the round blade is placed near the round blade. The food slicer according to claim 1, wherein a gap for cleaning is generated.
As a result, unlike the conventional case where the conveyance auxiliary plate is attached to the feeder itself so that it cannot be removed during cleaning, it is removed from the conveyor section so that a space for cleaning work can be taken. The vicinity of the cutting area spreads and can be easily cleaned. Further, the conveyance auxiliary plate itself can be easily removed from the conveyor section, and can be intensively cleaned at another place.

Furthermore, in the invention according to claim 3, the conveyor unit includes a shaft body that stretches an endless belt-like body on which food is placed at both ends, the shaft body rotatably supported, and the support portion of the feeder. A shaft on the side of the round blade located on one of the shafts serves as a driven shaft, and a shaft on the other side serves as a drive shaft to which a driving force is supplied from the feeder. The food slicer according to claim 2, wherein the food slicer is advanced toward the round blade.
As a result, the drive shaft of the conveyor unit is not attached to the round blade side as in the prior art, so that the feeder does not require a transmission shaft for driving force up to the round blade side, or directly with the drive source of the feeder or a connecting member The drive force can be transmitted efficiently by connecting only one. In addition, since the drive shaft of the conveyor unit is located away from the round blade that easily adheres to food waste, the degree of contamination is reduced and the cleaning operation can be simplified. In addition, since the transmission shaft for the driving force up to the round blade side is not required, the weight of the driving shaft itself is reduced, and the driving shaft having a complicated conveyor structure is located on the base side of the feeder, so that the center of gravity of the conveyor portion is increased. Since it supports, even if a support part becomes shorter than before, it can support reliably.
In addition, depending on the type and size of the food and how the fat is attached to the surface of the meat, it may be assumed that the food slides on the conveyor part, so while pressing from above with the drive roller attached to the tip of the upper supply part Assist in advancing in the direction of the round blade. Furthermore, in order to increase the forward force of the conveyor part, gears smaller than the diameter of the roller part are attached to each of the roller parts inside the belt part, and a chain that transmits driving force to these gears is erected. It is also possible to disperse a driving force equivalent to that of the driving shaft on the shaft side.

The invention according to claim 4, which is an invention relating to the food slicer according to each of the above inventions,
A contact plate that is parallel to the cutting surface of the round blade and in parallel with a gap, and a reciprocating motion from the forward end facing the round blade to the corresponding backward end facing the plate are provided. Each time it moves backward and returns to the return end, the food is advanced by the cutting thickness and the front end of the food is brought into contact with the plate. In a food slicer provided with a feeder for cutting a cut thickness with the round blade and feeding out a cut piece of food from the gap,
Correspondingly, an operation switch is attached to at least one of the plate surface of the rotary shaft and the plate surface of the tool post of the round blade of the plate on both the feeder side and the rotary shaft side of the round blade. When the operation switch is operated, the feeder starts reciprocating from the return end to the forward end, and when the operation switch is operated again, the reciprocating supply is immediately stopped. In a food slicer that stops when it reaches the forward end afterwards,
The operation operation switch is normally protruded with respect to the plate surface of the corresponding plate, and is rotatably attached so as to be flipped up, so that an operator who has received a cut piece cut by the round blade with a fingertip Is a food slicer that is operated by operating the operation switch with another finger.
As a result, an operator who has received a cut piece cut and drawn by a round blade with his fingertip can be operated by operating the operation switch with another finger, so that the fingertip in contact with the cut piece can be operated. It is hygienic because the operation switch is not operated and dirt on the operation switch does not adhere to the cut pieces of food through the operator's fingertips. Further, even if the work is performed continuously or for a long time, only a small operation force of the fingertip is required, and the burden on the worker can be reduced. In addition, since the operation switch protrudes from the contact plate, the food waste adhering to the surface of the operation switch is likely to fall naturally with a swinging force, and the washing water adhering to the operation switch It is hard to leave dirt by dripping from the surface of the drooping operation switch. In particular, if the plate-like operation switch is installed in a vertical state, the surface that the fingertip comes into contact with becomes the part where the plate width of the lower surface is narrow, dirt is less likely to adhere, and if the lower surface is formed into a convex shape, it is difficult to adhere. Can be increased. In addition, at least one of the plate surface of the rotating shaft side and the plate surface of the tool post of the round cutter among the plate surfaces of the feeder side and the rotary shaft side of the round cutter is a section. The operation switch can be attached to either the left or right position with respect to the gap between the contact plate and the round tool that comes out, such as a control panel mounted above the tool post on the plate surface of the tool post, etc. Including.

  As described in detail, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the conveyor portion is removed from the feeder when cleaning food waste associated with the slicing of the food, the feeder becomes shorter than the conventional support. There is a gap for cleaning the round blade between the head and the round blade, and it is easy to blow off the food waste from the round blade with the cleaning liquid from the feeder side. Can be shortened.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the conveyance auxiliary plate is not attached to the feeder itself that does not come off during cleaning, it is easily removed from the conveyor portion so as not to obstruct the cleaning, and food waste easily adheres. While the cutting portion of the round blade can be easily cleaned, the conveyance auxiliary plate itself can be removed from the conveyor portion and can be intensively cleaned.

  Furthermore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the drive shaft of the conveyor portion is not attached to the conventional round blade side, the feeder does not require a transmission shaft for driving force up to the round blade side. The driving force can be efficiently transmitted by being directly connected to the driving source. In addition, since the drive shaft of the conveyor unit is located away from the round blade that easily adheres to food waste, the degree of contamination is reduced and the cleaning operation can be simplified. In addition, since the transmission shaft for the driving force up to the round blade side is not required, the weight of the driving shaft itself is reduced, and the driving shaft having a complicated conveyor structure is located on the base side of the feeder, so that the center of gravity of the conveyor portion is increased. Since it supports, even if a support part becomes shorter than before, it can support reliably.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since an operator who has received a cutting piece cut and fed by a round blade with his fingertip can operate and operate the operation switch with another finger, The operation switch is not operated with the fingertip that is in contact with the cut piece, and the dirt of the drive operation switch does not adhere to the cut piece of food through the operator's fingertip. Further, even if the work is performed continuously or for a long time, only a small operation force of the fingertip is required, and the burden on the worker can be reduced. In addition, since the operation switch protrudes from the contact plate, the food waste adhering to the surface of the operation switch is likely to fall naturally with a swinging force, and the washing water adhering to the operation switch It is hard to leave dirt by dripping from the surface of the drooping operation switch.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this.
Here, FIG. 1 is explanatory drawing which shows the machine stand right side surface of the food slicer which concerns on this invention, FIG. 2 is explanatory drawing which expanded the feeder of FIG. 1, and the conveyor part supported by the feeder. is there.
The food slicer has a tool post 2 erected on the rear left side of the upper surface of the machine base 1, and a rotary shaft 4 fixed to the center of the round tool 3 is supported in the left-right direction at the tip of the tool post 2 to form a dish-shaped round shape. The cutting surface including the cutting edge at the outer peripheral end of the blade 3 is arranged on a vertical surface along the front-rear direction. Inside the tool post 2, a device for rotationally driving the rotary shaft 4 of the round tool 3 is incorporated through a belt transmission mechanism connected to a drive motor.
At the front left side of the upper surface of the machine base 1, the contact plate 5 is mounted side by side with a gap at the front position of the round blade 3, and the contact surface opposite to the rotating shaft 4 side of the contact plate 5 is attached to the round blade 3. These are arranged in parallel to the cut surface of the machine 1 and perpendicular to the upper surface or horizontal surface of the machine base 1. The backing plate 5 is attached by a fixed arm 5a to a tool post 2 that pivotally supports the round blade 3 so that a space is formed between the lower portion of the backing plate 5 and the upper surface of the machine base 1 just below it. Has been. Using the space created between the lower part of this backing plate and the upper surface of the machine base, it is possible to easily blow away the food waste scattered by the cutting operation with the cleaning liquid, which is superior in terms of hygiene and time required for the cleaning operation. Can be shortened.

The feeder 6 is connected via a support arm 6 a that slides on a slide shaft by a crank mechanism connected to a drive motor built in the machine base 1, and the support arm 6 a is not the upper surface of the machine base 1 but the machine base. It protrudes from the inside from the back side surface of 1. The feeder 6 is provided so as to be able to reciprocate in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 1 from the forward end facing the round blade 3 to the backward end facing the backing plate 5, and is moved backward to the backward end. Each time the product is returned, the food is advanced by the cutting thickness and the front end of the food is brought into contact with the backing plate 5. Each time the food is moved forward and reaches the forward movement end, the cut thickness of the advanced food is cut by a round blade. In addition, a cut piece of food can be fed out from the gap.
The feeder 6 is supported by the support arm 6a, and lowers the supply unit 21 that advances the placed food in the direction of the round blade, and presses the food near the cutting surface, and rotates backward when the food is supplied. And an upper supply section 22 that secures a supply space. The upper supply part 22 is rotatably attached to the lower supply part 21, and a cover 23 is erected on the lower supply part 21 around which food is placed so as to be removable by a screw 24 with a knob.
The lower supply unit 21 projects a conveyor unit 31 in the direction of the round blade 3, and the base end side of the conveyor unit 31 is detachably supported by a base unit 25 fixed to the support arm 6a. The base part 25 protruding from the front end side of the conveyor part 31 is formed to be small on the round blade side, and when the conveyor part 31 and the cover 23 are removed, the base part 25 is close to the round blade 3 at the place where the base part 25 approaches. Since it remains only on the table 1, the space for cleaning the round blade 3 is widened, and the operation of spraying cleaning water can be easily performed.
33 is a conveyance auxiliary plate removably attached to the forefront of the conveyor unit 31 with a screw 33 with a knob, and is flush with the parallel upper surface of the conveyor unit 31 and the lower part of the food so that it does not get caught in the gap between the belt units. Therefore, since the food conveyed to the round blade side can be moved in parallel without being lowered along the terminal curved surface of the conveyor portion 31, the food edge that has been lowered and deformed is cut by the round blade 3 The slice is cut to a predetermined thickness without the cut thickness being uneven.

A driving operation switch 7 is fixed to the rotating shaft side plate surface of the contact plate 5, and a connection line is connected to a control device built in the machine base 1 through a fixed arm 5 a. The driving operation switch 7 is fixed at the right side of the gap where the food section is fed out of the plate surface of the backing plate 5, so that the driving operation switch 7 is pushed with the hand while keeping the posture of the food slicing operation. The round blade 3 starts to rotate and is controlled so that the feeder 6 starts from the forward end to the backward end and is driven back and forth between both ends.
The operation switch 7 formed in a flat plate shape has a base end attached to the abutting plate 5 so as to be swingable in the vertical direction by the swing shaft 7a in a standing state, and is a stop member so as to stop at the position shown in the normal state 7 b is fixed to the lower side of the operation switch 7. The driving operation switch 7 is set so that a micro switch or a proximity switch excellent in water resistance is activated when it is lifted upward from its normal position. Thus, for example, the food slicer can be operated with an operation smaller than the operation of pressing the switch with the back of the hand, that is, the operation of raising the driving operation switch 7 with the fingertip. Therefore, even if the work is performed continuously or for a long time, only a small operation force of the fingertip is required, and the burden on the operator can be reduced. In addition, since the operation switch protrudes from the contact plate, the food waste adhering to the surface of the operation switch is likely to fall naturally with a swinging force, and the washing water adhering to the operation switch It is difficult for the dirt to remain by dripping from the surface of the standing operation switch. The operation switch 7 is not to be operated only with the fingertip, but may be operated with the fingertip while holding the section using antibacterial plastic or the like, and the type, size and thickness of the food to be sliced It is possible to use a larger or longer one than the illustrated driving operation switch 7 so that the section can be received by the hand and the driving operation switch 7 can be lifted up with the wrist or elbow.
Further, the operation switch 7 is controlled so that two operations are repeated when operated. First, the round blade 3 starts to rotate, and the feeder 6 starts from the return end to the forward end. It is driven back and forth between them. Next, when the operation switch 7 is actuated again in that state, the reciprocating feeder 6 does not stop immediately, but then stops braking at any point before the return end after the forward end. It stops completely at the return end in front of the operator. Further, when the feeder is stopped by braking, the rotational driving of the round blade is stopped, and a standby state for the first operation is entered.

Next, the operation when the operation switch 7 is operated will be described.
The food slicer that has been started by operating the operation switch 7 is such that every time the feeder 6 moves back and returns to the return end, a soft food such as a raw meat chunk placed on the feeder 6 is cut. The front end of the food is brought into contact with the abutment surface of the abutment plate 5 by being gradually advanced. Each time the feeder 6 moves forward and reaches the forward end, the tip of the food that protrudes from the tip of the feeder 6 is cut by the rotating round blade 3. Since the slice of food is fed out from the gap between the round blade 3 and the contact plate 5 to the rotating shaft side of the round blade 3, soft food such as meat is received by the fingertip.
The operation switch 7 is flipped up again with the fingertip, and the reciprocating supply device 6 does not stop immediately, but is then stopped after passing the forward end and before the return end, before the operator. Stop completely at the return end. Further, when the feeder is stopped by braking, the rotational driving of the round blade stops.
An operation panel 2 a extending upward from the tool post 2 is provided with switches 8 such as an emergency stop switch, a power-on switch, and an operation status display lamp. When the emergency stop switch is pushed by hand, the rotational operation of the round blade 3 and the reciprocating drive of the feeder 6 can be stopped immediately by interrupting the above control operation. The operation operation switch 7 and the switches 8 are attached not only to the front surface of the machine base 1 but also to the plate surface of the tool post 2 and the upper surface thereof as well as the rotation shaft side plate surface of the backing plate 5. The operation panel 2a may be used. In this case, it can be installed in a place where it is more difficult to get dirty than the machine base 1 where the cleaning liquid is easily applied.
In particular, when placing a slice of food on a tray or conveyor as desired, the operator starts up the round blade 3 and the feeder 6 by raising the operation switch 7 with a fingertip in order to perform a one-piece operation. Immediately after that, the driving operation switch 7 is lifted up again with the fingertip, and the feeder 6 is reciprocated once. After the operation of cutting one piece, the section of food fed out from the gap between the round blade 3 and the backing plate 5 is picked up during the forward movement of the feeder 6 and placed on a tray or a conveyor as desired. The operation position of the operation switch 7 is close to the picking position of the food section. Since the tray and the conveyor have an empty space in which the conventional patch plate fixing device is provided, the tray and the conveyor can be arranged close to the picking position of the food section.
In addition, when arranging a large number of food slices on a tray or conveyor as desired, the operation for the operation switch 7 for the single cut operation and the operation for picking and arranging the food slices are repeated.

  On the side opposite to the front side where the round blade 3 provided with the machine base 1 of FIG. 1 is located, a handle 9 capable of adjusting the thickness of a known food slice is provided on the machine base 1 via a mounting base 9a. Further, a pendulum unit 10 connected to the one-way clutch is attached to the reciprocating supply device 6, and the movable range of the reciprocating pendulum unit 10 is adjusted by adjusting the handle 9, so that the section of the feeder 6 is adjusted. Adjust the thickness to be cut.

The roller portion 36 located on the opposite side of the other round blade 3 is connected to a driving force supply source provided in the base portion 25 as a driving shaft, and transmits a driving force for advancing food to the belt portion 34. One end of the roller portion 36 is inserted from the side plate 37 and can be fitted to the drive transmission shaft 26. When the conveyor portion 31 is removed from the base portion 25, the roller portion 36 is inserted into and removed from the drive transmission shaft 26. The attachment / detachment is performed from above the portion 25. The drive transmission shaft 26 to which one end of the roller portion 36 is fitted is transmitted with a driving force in accordance with the reciprocating motion of the supply device 6, and is synchronized with the drive timing of the upper supply portion 22.

The side plate portions 37 and 38 are connected by an upper surface plate 39 on which food placed on the belt portion 34 is placed, and rotatably support the roller portions 35 and 36 at both ends in the food conveyance direction. Further, the side plates 37 and 38 of the roller portion 36 can be bent to remove the belt portion 34 by shortening the interval between the roller portions 35 and 36 when the belt portion 34 is removed from the roller portions 35 and 36 by replacing the belt portion 34 itself. It has become. The bent side plates 37a and 38a that pivotally support the roller portion 36 are rotatably supported on the side plates 37 and 38 by the rotation shafts 37b and 38b, and are mounted on the base portion 25 with respect to the side plates 37 and 38. Stop portions 37c and 38c are provided so as not to bend upward.
A method for attaching the auxiliary conveyance plate 33 to the side plates 37 and 38 will be described. At the tips of the side blades 37 and 38 on the side of the round blade, attachment pieces 37d and 38d are extended outward along the longitudinal direction of the conveyance auxiliary plate portion 33. The knob-attached screw portion 32 that is screwed to the conveyance auxiliary plate portion 33 is locked in the engagement groove, and is screwed to be fixed to the side plates 37 and 38 of the conveyance auxiliary plate portion 33. Yes. Therefore, when the conveyor part 31 is removed from the base part 25, the conveyance auxiliary plate 33 screwed into the conveyor part 31 is also removed together, and a sufficient space for cleaning is created in the vicinity of the removed round blade 3. .
In addition to screwing the screw portions 32 with knobs at both ends and engaging the side plates 37 and 38 with the attachment pieces 37d and 38d, the screwing portions 32 with knobs on the side of the round blade can be attached.
