DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bread slicer for slicing bread to a desired thickness using an endless blade.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bread is baked and then 4 breads per loaf
It is sliced into a predetermined thickness such as 6, 6, 8, etc. and packaged to make a product. A bread slicer that automatically performs this slicing operation has a plurality of endless blades B crossed around drums D1 and D2 arranged in parallel at a distance as shown in FIG. P is transported in the lateral direction as indicated by the arrow, and the blade B is sliced into a predetermined number of bread slices.

Recently, various types of bread containing dried grapes, various dried fruits, and other viscous materials have been commercialized. When bread containing those viscous materials is sliced by the bread slicer having the above-described structure, The viscous substances adhere to the blade B, and bread crumbs adhere to the blade B. These are transferred from the blade B to the drums D1 and D2, and sticky substances and bread crumbs adhere to and accumulate on the drum.

When such deposits are formed on the drums D1 and D2, not only the running resistance of the endless blade B increases and a large driving force is required, but also the blade B may be cut off. As described above, the power consumption is increased and the operation rate of the device is deteriorated.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, even when a loaf of bread containing mucilage is sliced, mucus and bread dust adhere to the drum, thereby increasing the power consumption of the bread slicer and causing breakage of the blade. The challenge is to provide no bread slicer.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a bread containing slime is sliced, and the slime or bread crumbs are transferred from a blade to a drum by a scraper which comes into contact with the drum surface. The problem is solved by scraping off the slag. It is desirable that the scraper be configured to be able to abut on and separate from the drum surface.

[0007]

The bread slicer according to the present invention is provided with a scraper which is in contact with the surface of the drum and scrapes off the residue adhering to the surface of the drum. When scum such as material or bread dust adheres to the drum, the scum is scraped off by a scraper in contact with the drum surface.
Therefore, according to the bread slicer of the present invention, even if the bread containing the mucilage is sliced, the problem that the drum adheres and accumulates on the drum is prevented.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a bread slicer according to the present invention will be specifically described based on an illustrated embodiment. In the present invention, a scraper is provided for the two drums around which the endless blade is stretched. However, in the following embodiment, only a drum provided with a scraper on the upper drum D1 is shown for simplicity. It is. A scraper having a similar configuration may be provided in a place where it is easy to attach the scraper to the lower drum. In the following description, only one end of the drum D1 will be described, but the same applies to the other end.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a bracket 1 is mounted on a frame F supporting a drum D1.
The bracket 1 adjusts the contact strength between the scraper and the drum D1 by the two long holes 2 and 3 to adjust the bolts 4 and
5 attaches to the frame F. Bracket 1
, An air cylinder 6 is pivotally mounted at 7 and its piston rod 8
One end of an L-shaped link 9 is pivotally connected at 10.

An L-shaped link 9 is pivotally connected to the bracket 1 at eleven. The other end of the L-shaped link 9 has a drum D
An end of a bar 12 extending parallel to one axis is supported. The bar 12 is provided with a scraper 13 which is in contact with the surface of the drum D1. As is apparent from the drawing, when the air cylinder 6 is retracted, the L-shaped link 9 rotates counterclockwise around the pivot point 11 and the scraper 13 is rotated.
Is brought into contact with the surface of the drum D1. Conversely, air cylinder 6
Is extended, the L-shaped link 9 rotates clockwise to separate the scraper 13 from the surface of the drum D1.

Since the sliced bread slicer shown in the drawing has the above-described structure, when slicing bread with grapes, for example, with the sliced bread slicer, the air cylinder 6 is retracted so that the scraper 13 is moved to the drum surface. To effectively remove the scum adhering to the drum surface, thereby preventing the scum from adhering and accumulating on the drum as in a conventional bread slicer.

In the embodiment described above, of the two drums around which the endless blade is wound, only the upper drum has been described. It may be provided. As described above, the present invention has been described in the form of a shell based on the illustrated embodiments. It is needless to say that the above may be changed. For example, in the above embodiment, the scraper 13 is provided diagonally below the drum D1, but the installation position may be appropriately selected according to the arrangement of the machine and the like. In the illustrated apparatus, the air cylinder 6 is used to bring the scraper 13 into contact with or separate from the surface of the drum D1.

[0013]

As described above in detail, the present invention relates to a bread slicer having an endless blade stretched over two spaced-apart drums, the bread slicer being brought into contact with and adhering to the drum surface. Since the scraper for scraping the scraps is provided, even if the bread containing the mucilage such as raisins is sliced, the mucilage and the scraps such as the bread crumbs are prevented from adhering and accumulating on the drum. Further, the present invention has a simple structure in which only a scraper to be brought into contact with the surface of the drum is provided, so that a remodeling work for the conventional device can be easily performed.
