Description

  The present invention relates to an oblique cutting slicer. More specifically, the present invention relates to an oblique cut slicer capable of slicing meat obliquely, for example, for grilled meat.

  In Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-320490), the meat platform is set to a required inclination angle in the front-rear and left-right directions with respect to the blade surface of the slice blade body, and the meat platform is used as the blade surface of the slice blade body. It is disclosed that the meat placing table is moved back and forth from the side with respect to the slice blade body that is moved forward and backward with respect to the slice, and the meat placed on the meat placing table is sliced to a required thickness. Yes.

  Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-343489) discloses a meat slicer that feeds the material in the meat box in cooperation with the lower conveyor toward a rotating blade that is erected at one end of the machine base. In addition, it is disclosed to provide an upper presser device that feeds out material while pressing it from above in cooperation with a lower conveyor laid on the bottom of the meat box.

JP-A-6-320490 JP 2000-343489 A

  In the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, the meat platform is inclined by tilting upward. For this reason, the inclination angle of the meat platform becomes large, and it is difficult to supply meat to the meat platform. Moreover, since there is no meat feed conveyor on the meat platform, the amount of meat feed is not stable. Furthermore, the placed meat may fall forward and fall off.

  Further, the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not have a take-out conveyor. Moreover, in the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1, the cut sliced meat comes out in a state of being curled (turned up) from the cut side. For this reason, even if the sliced meat is received by the conveyor, the sliced meat is curled up, so it does not align well.

  Furthermore, the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 is dangerous for workers in the vicinity of the slicer because the meat platform on which meat is placed moves in the horizontal direction on the slicer machine base.

  The apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above is difficult to supply meat because the inclination angle of the meat platform is large as in the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above. Moreover, in the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2, an upper presser is required over the entire length direction of the meat in order to prevent the placed meat from falling forward and dropping off.

  In the apparatus using the above-mentioned commercially available nabata, the contact plate cannot be attached to the cut portion because of the structure. For this reason, if the meat delivered from the slicer cannot be sandwiched by the upper and lower feeding belt conveyors at the joint between the slicer and the take-out conveyor, the meat yield that falls off as meat chunks and is sliced by the slicer deteriorates.

  The present invention solves the problems associated with the prior art as described above, facilitates the supply of meat to the meat platform, stabilizes the amount of meat fed, and puts the placed meat forward. An object of the present invention is to provide a slant cut slicer that does not fall off, aligns sliced meat well without rolling up, and does not fall off as a lump of meat at the joint between the slicer and take-out conveyor .

  In the present invention, the above-mentioned purpose is set such that a virtual cutting surface inclined obliquely downward toward the cutting location is set, and a meat platform is reciprocated along a certain section along the cutting surface by a crank mechanism mounted on the machine base. And a feeding conveyor for feeding the meat placed on the placing surface, supported by the machine stand, and feeding the meat to the meat delivery side tip of the meat placing table. The cutting opening is opened so that the front end surface thereof is along the cut surface, and a receiving blade body having a receiving blade portion covering at least the entire width of the sending conveyor is fixed to the sending opening. A blade for slicing the front end portion of the meat sent out by the feed conveyor obliquely downward from above, and a backing plate for receiving the front end portion of the meat is disposed opposite to the feed opening on the conveyor side position. Send to correspond to slice thickness A take-out conveyor which is provided so as to be movable in the direction and which carries out the sliced meat piece cut out from the cut-out opening of the sliced meat formed between the cutting edge of the blade and the upper end surface of the backing plate in an unfolded state. This is achieved by an oblique cutting slicer characterized in that the angle α formed by the placement surface and the tip end surface of the delivery port is an obtuse angle.

  More preferably, the present invention sets an arcuate virtual cutting surface inclined obliquely downward toward the cutting location, and the meat platform is rotatably supported on a support shaft provided on the machine base and is mounted on the machine base. The apparatus is supported by a machine base so as to swing back and forth in a predetermined section along the cut surface by the installed crank mechanism, and the meat platform includes a feed conveyor for feeding the meat placed on the placement surface. A meat delivery port is opened at the front end of the meat loading table so that the front end surface is along the cut surface, and at least the width of the delivery conveyor is provided at the delivery port. A receiving blade body having a receiving blade portion extending over the entire width of the dimensions is fixed, and a band knife is provided as a blade for slicing the front end portion of the meat fed by the feeding conveyor obliquely downward from above, and the meat The feeding plate that receives the tip of the Cut sliced meat formed between the cutting edge of the blade and the upper end surface of the backing plate, which is provided so as to be movable in the feeding direction so as to correspond to the slice thickness at the position opposite to the feed conveyor side with respect to the mouth. A slicer provided with a take-out conveyor for unloading sliced meat pieces cut out from the mouth to the outside of the receiving machine, wherein the angle α formed by the placement surface and the chord on the arcuate tip surface of the delivery mouth An oblique cut slicer characterized by having an obtuse angle.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the meat placement surface of the delivery conveyor is inclined in a substantially horizontal state or a forward downward direction in the delivery direction.

  Further, it is preferable that the delivery conveyor of the present invention is sent out and rotated upward about the vicinity of the delivery terminal end of the conveyor so that the length in the meat cutting direction can be adjusted.

  The obtuse angle α of the present invention is preferably 100 degrees or more, more preferably 100 to 170 degrees.

  In the present invention, the meat platform is reciprocated along the cut surface inclined obliquely downward toward the cut portion, and the meat is obliquely cut when the meat platform rises. For this reason, the sliced meat pieces are cut out vigorously in a developed state and aligned on the takeout conveyor.

  In the present invention, an obtuse angle is defined as an angle α formed by the meat placing surface of the delivery conveyor and the chord on the delivery port tip surface or the arcuate tip surface of the delivery port. Thereby, the front-end | tip of the meat sent out can be cut diagonally. This angle α may be freely set to an angle commensurate with the desired length in the cutting direction within the obtuse angle range. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 to be described later, when the sliced meat piece m cut obliquely is discharged onto the upper surface of the take-out conveyor 9, the ridge angle of the upper edge at the tip becomes an obtuse angle. It looks better than what you get. The same applies to FIG.

  In the present invention, the meat platform is rotatably supported on a support shaft provided on the machine base, and the crank mechanism installed on the machine base is reciprocally rocked in a predetermined section along the cut surface. When supported by the table, the meat platform is swung so that the movement is smooth and accurate.

  In addition, by using a band knife as a knife for slicing, the gap between the receiving blade body and the cutting edge of the band knife can be kept to a minimum. For this reason, even raw meat or meat with a lot of streaks can be reliably cut out and properly aligned on the take-out conveyor and taken out.

  If the meat loading surface of the delivery conveyor of the present invention is inclined in a substantially horizontal state or a forward downward direction in the delivery direction, the meat can be easily supplied and monitored, and the meat delivery Is stable. Furthermore, since the cut surface is inclined obliquely downward toward the cut portion, the sliced meat piece to be cut out is smoothly transferred to the upper surface of the take-out conveyor provided below the cut-out opening.

  When the delivery conveyor of the present invention is rotated upward about the vicinity of the end portion, the length in the meat cutting direction can be adjusted to be short.

  In addition, in the present invention, since there is a patch plate, the whole meat can be sliced at the joint of the meat to be sent without dropping, so the yield is good.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a receiving blade body in the first embodiment shown in FIG.

It is a blade, so that even meat M with a lot of streaks is surely cut off. In addition, the receiving blade body 4 does not necessarily have a frame shape, and may be only a lower edge. However, the cutting end side edge 4b provided with the receiving blade portion on the receiving blade body 4 may be further formed.

  Reference numeral 5 in FIG. 1 indicates an upper presser of meat M having a known structure. Although not shown in detail, the upper presser 5 is configured to be adjustable according to the height of the meat M (dimension in the cutting direction). When the delivery conveyor 2 is driven and the meat M is delivered, it is desirable that the upper presser 5 is temporarily lifted from the upper surface of the meat M so that the pressed state can be released. The upper presser 5 may be constituted by a roller or a conveyor having a feeding function as is well-known and may always press the upper surface of the meat.

  The meat platform 1 configured as described above is guided and supported by an appropriate guide mechanism (not shown) including, for example, a guide groove along the cut surface B, and further, the cut surface B inclined obliquely downward. A predetermined section can be reciprocated linearly (arrow C) up and down by a crank mechanism having a known structure.

  At this time, the front end surface in the feed direction of the meat platform 1 (the surface facing the cut surface B of the feed port 4 c) is along the cut surface B, and the upper surface which is the meat placement surface of the feed conveyor 2 and the feed The front end of the meat M is cut obliquely by making the angle α formed by the front end surface of the mouth opening 4c an obtuse angle. This angle α is determined according to the desired degree of oblique cutting (size in the cutting direction of the sliced meat piece m), but is usually set to an obtuse angle in the range of 100 degrees to 170 degrees.

  When the meat platform 1 is at the start position of the reciprocating movement (the state shown in FIG. 1), a backing plate 6 is provided at a position opposite to the delivery port 4c on the conveyor side so that the leading end of the meat is received. ing. The contact plate 6 can be moved in the delivery direction of the delivery conveyor 2 by a known structure such as an adjusting screw, for example, so as to correspond to the slice thickness of the sliced meat m.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the upper presser 5 presses the vicinity of the front end of the meat M from above, the abutting plate 6 receives the sharp end of the meat M and prevents the slice M from being dropped. Stabilize.

  Further, the cutting edge 7 of the blade is positioned on the cutting surface B near the upper end portion of the delivery opening 4c in FIG. 1, and the cutting edge of the sliced meat piece m between the cutting edge 7 of the cutting tool and the upper edge surface of the backing plate 6 is used.

It is desirable that the cutting edge of the band knife 7 is lightly brought into contact with the receiving blade 4a at least at the end of cutting.

  In the present embodiment, the blade is not limited to a band knife, and may be a well-known single round blade or the like.

  The starting end of the takeout conveyor 9 is arranged near the cutout opening of the sliced meat m, and the sliced meat piece m to be cut out is received on the conveyer 9 in a developed state and carried out of the machine. Since the cut surface B is inclined obliquely downward toward the cut portion, the sliced meat piece m to be cut out is smoothly transferred to the upper surface of the takeout conveyor 9 provided below the cutout opening. When the sliced meat piece m cut obliquely is discharged onto the upper surface of the take-out conveyor 9, the ridge angle of the upper edge at the tip becomes an obtuse angle. For this reason, the sliced meat piece m, on the contrary, has a good appearance as compared with the sliced meat piece m with the acute angle side facing up.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Similar to the first embodiment described above, the feed conveyor 2 is provided on the meat placement surface of the meat stand 1. That is, the rollers 3 and 3 are pivotally supported on the delivery start end and the termination end of the meat platform 1, respectively, and the delivery conveyor 2 is wound around the rollers 3 and 3.

  In the embodiment, the meat placement surface of the delivery conveyor 2 is in a substantially horizontal state at the swing end portion position indicated by the phantom line in FIG.

  In addition, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 3, the delivery conveyor 2 moves upward as shown by an arrow D around the axial center of the roller 3 (right side roller 3 in FIG. 1) located at the delivery end. It is also possible to use it by oscillating it toward and fixing it appropriately. As described above, the meat placement surface of the delivery conveyor is inclined in a substantially horizontal state or a forward downward direction toward the delivery direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the meat platform 1 of the second embodiment is supported so as to be swingable about the axis of the support shaft 10 positioned above the surface on which the meat M is placed, and a crank mechanism (see FIG. 3). (Not shown), and is configured to swing in a certain section (in the direction of arrow E). Therefore, in this embodiment, the cut surface B is inclined in an arc shape obliquely downward toward the cut portion of the meat M (in FIG. 3, it extends from the upper right to the lower left).

  Also in the present embodiment, as in the above-described embodiment, the feed port 4c of the meat M is opened at the front end portion in the feed direction (right direction in FIG. 3) so that the front end surface thereof is along the cut surface B. A receiving blade body 4 having a receiving blade portion 4c covering at least the entire width of the delivery conveyor 2 is fixed to the delivery port 4c.

  Also in this embodiment, the receiving blade 4 is formed in a frame shape surrounding the delivery port 4c, and the cutting end side (the running direction side of the band knife) when the blade cuts the meat M, that is, the meat. The edge 4b located on the side where the M is pressed is also extended with a receiving blade 4a, which serves as a receiving blade when the meat M is cut, so that even the meat M which is soft and has a lot of streaks is cut off. In addition, the receiving blade body 4 does not necessarily have a frame shape, and may be only a lower edge. However, the cutting end side edge 4b provided with the receiving blade portion on the receiving blade body 4 may be further formed.

  Also in this embodiment, when the meat platform 1 is at the start position of the reciprocating movement (state of FIG. 1), the contact plate 6 is provided at the position opposite to the delivery port 4c on the conveyor side, The tip of meat is received. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, at least the delivery conveyor side of the contact plate 6 also has an arc shape. The backing plate 6 is movable in the delivery direction of the delivery conveyor 2 by a known structure so as to correspond to the slice thickness of the sliced meat m.

  The chord on the arcuate tip surface of the delivery port 4c is a straight line connecting the upper and lower two points (black circle points in FIG. 4) of the passage portion of the meat M on the arcuate tip surface of the delivery port 4c. Therefore, the angle α formed between the meat placement surface of the delivery conveyor 2 (the surface of the delivery conveyor 2) and the chord on the arcuate tip surface of the delivery port 4c is as shown in FIG.

  The front end surface in the feed direction of the meat platform 1 (the surface facing the cut surface B of the feed port 4c) is along the cut surface B, and the upper surface that is the meat loading surface of the feed conveyor 2 and the feed port 4c. The tip of the meat M is cut obliquely by making the angle α formed by the chord on the tip surface of the meat obtuse. This angle α is determined according to the desired degree of oblique cutting (size in the cutting direction of the sliced meat piece m), but is usually set to an obtuse angle in the range of 100 degrees to 170 degrees.

  Further, the cutting edge 7 of the blade is positioned on the cutting surface B near the upper end of the delivery opening 4c in FIG. 3, and the cutting edge of the sliced piece m between the cutting edge 7 of the cutting tool and the upper edge surface of the backing plate 6 is used. Form.

  As is well known, a grooved guide plate 8 is attached to a machine base (not shown), and the band knife 7 is guided in a state of being fitted into the groove of the guide plate 8 leaving the cutting edge of the band knife 7. . In addition, a pair of pulleys (not shown) are provided on the left and right sides of the machine base, and a driving motor (not shown) is connected to one of the pulleys, and a band knife wound around these pulleys. 7 is rotated at high speed by the drive motor. In the present embodiment, an endless band-shaped band knife 7 with a sharp blade edge is provided with a predetermined clearance angle with respect to the cut surface B. It is desirable that the cutting edge of the band knife 7 is lightly brought into contact with the receiving blade 4a at least at the end of cutting.

The starting end of the takeout conveyor 9 is arranged near the cutout opening of the sliced meat m, and the sliced meat piece m to be cut out is received on the conveyer 9 in a developed state and carried out of the machine.
Since the cut surface B is inclined obliquely downward toward the cut portion, the sliced meat piece m to be cut out is smoothly transferred to the upper surface of the takeout conveyor 9 provided below the cutout opening. When the sliced meat piece m cut obliquely is discharged onto the upper surface of the take-out conveyor 9, the ridge angle of the upper edge at the tip becomes an obtuse angle. For this reason, the sliced meat piece m, on the contrary, has a good appearance as compared with the sliced meat piece m with the acute angle side facing up.
