Description

  The present invention relates to a food cutting device.

<Description of background technology>
Conventionally, various techniques have been proposed regarding a food cutting apparatus that cuts food with a cutting means while transferring food with a transfer means (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

<Description of Patent Document 1>
Patent Document 1 describes a food cutting device including a conveyor and a support frame on which a piano wire is stretched, which lifts and lowers the piano wire by moving the support frame up and down to cut cheese on the conveyor. Has been.

<Description of Patent Document 2>
Patent Document 2 is a food cutting device composed of an intermittent feed mechanism, a lifting rod with a cutting line, and a belt conveyor. The cutting line is moved up and down by raising and lowering the lifting bar and sent out. It describes what cuts sheep.

<Required technology>
By the way, not only a food cutting device but a food processing device is always required to maintain cleanliness and improve production efficiency. However, in the conventional food cutting apparatuses shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, cutting wires such as piano wires and cutting lines reciprocate from above to below to cut food. Therefore, it is necessary for the cutting wire to return to the original position above, and the food must be transferred intermittently, resulting in poor production efficiency. In addition, when the cutting wire returns to the upper original position, it is conceivable to cut it. However, since the light food is lifted upward, it cannot be cut. Further, although it is conceivable to provide means for restricting the upward movement of the food, such means are desired to be avoided in order to keep the food as clean as possible. Therefore, it has not been able to meet the above request.

<Effect of Embodiment 1-5>
In the cutting means 20 of the first embodiment, the cutting means 20 is connected to the rotating means 21 via a drive belt 21 </ b> C hung on the outer periphery of the rotating ring 22. Thereby, in the cutting | disconnection means 20, generation | occurrence | production of dust and noise can be suppressed rather than what used the gearwheel for transmission of a driving force.

<Description of food cutting method-1>
A method for cutting food will be described. This food cutting method is a cutting method in which a food cutting device 90 (see FIG. 1) is used to transfer food and cut it at a fixed length. The food is partly or wholly fitted into the concave groove 10D of the upstream transfer means 10 and transferred. When the transported food reaches the cutting area of the cutting means 20, it is cut by the cutting wire 23 that rotates downward from above by the rotation of the rotating ring 22. When the rotating ring 22 rotates once, the food is cut twice by the cutting wire 23 while being transferred. A part of or all of the food that has been cut to a fixed length is fitted into the concave groove 30D of the downstream transfer means 30 and transferred.

<Description of food cutting method-2>
The food to be transferred has a string shape, a rod shape, a spherical shape or a lump shape, and has a cross section of about 5 to 50 mm square. The food to be transferred may be any food as long as it is transferred by the transfer means. The food to be transferred may be a continuous plastic food. Plastic foods include boiled eggs, caramels, rice cakes, rice cakes, candy, bread dough, confectionery dough, rice-treated doughs such as rice cakes, flour dough doughs such as bread dough, and plastic food doughs mainly composed of starch such as rice cakes. Confectionery such as jam, chocolate and gummy, dairy products such as cheese, cream, fresh cream, butter cream, cheese cream, ice cream and soft cream. It may be a plastic food represented by an aerated food such as mousse or meringue. In addition, potatoes include all types of potatoes such as dumplings, rice cakes, white ball rice cakes, sea breams, beef manure, Daifuku dough, etc., which are made from rice, rice, rice bran, rice cakes, etc. Also included are candy-like plastic foods made from kudatsu.

<Description of food cutting method-3>
Further, it is obvious that the timing and temperature at which cutting can be performed by the food cutting device 90 according to the present invention is limited depending on these plastic foods.
