Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a three-dimensional vegetable molding device that automatically molds vegetables into a predetermined shape.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in a vegetable dish, there is a case in which the vegetables are not shaped vegetables M1 shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 and the shaped vegetables M1 are cooked. The molded vegetable M1 in this "Fig. 7" example is called "shut", and potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc. are molded into a three-dimensional shape substantially like a "racky ball". Molding vegetables in this way is often used as a vegetable for side dishes in Western cuisine, but in Japanese cuisine it is also called "Roppo" and is often used as a hex or octagon with swelled taro and radish at the top and bottom. A three-dimensional mold such as a prismatic shape is known.

Molding vegetables as described above has the following purposes. 1. Improve appearance. 2. Wider surface area makes it easier for the taste and heat of cooking to soak in, improving the taste. 3. Prevents simmering by reducing sharp edges.

[0004] The mold-shaped vegetable M1 as described above has been historically supported for a long time, but the mold-forming is still done manually by a cook's kitchen knife. Concretely explaining the mold making work by using the potato shut as an example, first, the top and bottom of the washed potato M0 are dropped parallel to each other with a kitchen knife, and a disc shape is formed as shown by the solid line in FIG. Eggplant Then, the edge of the disk-shaped potato is cut off with a knife by the cutting lines Q1, Q1, Q1 ... Shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 8 to form a hexagonal column or an octagonal column, and then the diagonal lines Q2, Q2. , Q2 ... Divide the top with a kitchen knife to form 6 to 8 vegetable pieces M having a triangular cross section. Then, the vegetable piece M with a triangular cross-section is held by grasping both ends with one hand, and changing the angle of the kitchen knife with one hand so that the three corners bulge outward at the center parts of both ends. The chamfering is performed, and the upper side is cut off while changing the angle of the knife so that the center bulges outward.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, there is a problem that the conventional manual patterning of vegetables requires a great deal of labor. Specifically, when holding a large banquet at a hotel or the like, if you use 10 potato banquets of 300 people and 5 potatoes shut per person, you will need 300 x 10 x 5 = 15000 (pieces). Since the processing capacity of one skilled cook is 200 to 400 (pieces) / hour, the total number of required personnel is 15000 (pieces) / 300 (processing capacity per hour) / 8 ( Since the working hours per day = 6.25 (persons), seven or more specialized cooks are required.

[0006] Actually, if the same simple work is performed all day as described above, the efficiency is extremely lowered. Therefore, it is necessary to take turns preparing from several days before the molded vegetables M1 are discolored. In order to prevent this, it must be preserved by immersing it in cold water, etc. If the shaped vegetables M1 are immersed in water for several days, the starch etc. will dissolve and the taste will deteriorate, and the original shaped vegetables M1 will retain their taste. There was also a problem that the result would conflict with the purpose of improving.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems by mechanization, and an object thereof is to provide a vegetable molding machine capable of efficiently and automatically molding vegetables into a desired three-dimensional shape. It was done.

[Action]

 Next, the operation will be described mainly based on "Fig. 6". The vegetable pieces M move from the right side to the left side in the figure, but here, the apparent (substantially the same) vegetable pieces M are stopped and the cutting blade 30a moves from the left side to the right side in the figure. The description will be made assuming that the moving object passes through the parts shown in (A), (B), and (C) of FIG.

First, while moving the vegetable piece M from the state where the cutting blade 30a has moved to the portion shown in FIG. 6 (A) (apparently moving the cutting blade 30a to the right side of the drawing), the cutting device 40 performs the cutting. Raise the blade 30a. Then, the cutting blade 30a pivotally supports the tip of the cutting edge 31 and exerts an action of cutting the vegetable piece M while being pulled.

When the vegetable piece M is cut, if the lifting device 40 is stopped, the cutting blade 30a is pivotally supported in front of it, so that the vegetable piece M has the least resistance. In a state, that is, so that the cutting blade 30a is flush with the direction in which it is pulled, in other words, since the cutting blade 30a apparently moves in the horizontal direction, this cutting blade 30a also acts so as to be horizontal. To do. That is, when the cutting blade 30a is moved from the position of "FIG. 6" (A) to the position of "FIG. 6" (X), it becomes horizontal even if the cutting blade 30a is inclined at an appropriate angle. Then, the cutting blade 30a rises above the horizontal line indicated by the two-point diagonal line by the amount that the cutting blade 30a becomes horizontal, and as a result, the vegetable piece M is cut into a curved surface as shown by the line segment Q4 in the figure. Become.

Therefore, when actually cutting the vegetable pieces M, the cutting blade 30a is moved up and down by the elevating device 40, and when the ascending / descending amount and the lateral movement amount are adjusted, the vegetable pieces M become narrower. The cutting blade 5 has a function of passing through the positions of (B) and (C) in the same figure and being cut into an arc surface shape like a cutting line Q5 shown by a broken line in FIG.

By changing the mounting angle of the cutting blade 30a and performing the cutting in multiple steps along the transfer direction on the one guide path 10, the shaped vegetable M1 as shown in FIG. 7 is formed. It exhibits the action of taking.

Since the sprinkling nozzle device 50 that sprays water onto the vegetable pieces M is provided, even if vegetables such as potatoes have a lot of starch, the starch adhered to the guide path 10 is washed away, and the vegetable pieces M are transferred. It exhibits the effect of ensuring the smoothness of.

Further, in the invention of “Claim 2”, the fixed cutting blade 60 for cutting the upper portion of the vegetable pieces M to be transferred is provided at the transfer start side of the guide path 10. If the upper part of the fixed cutting blade 60 is made to have a size protruding above the fixed cutting blade 60 in advance, the size of the fixed cutting blade 60 is unified by passing through the fixed cutting blade 60. Then, when the size becomes the predetermined value, the vegetable pieces M are installed above the guide path 10 and hold the vegetable pieces M so as not to move above the guide path 10. M can be adapted, and even if the cutting blade 30a is raised by the elevating device 40, the vegetable piece M is prevented from floating.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned action, the invention of "claim 3" provides the feed claws 22a at predetermined intervals to the loop body 21a which is located below the guide path 10 and a part of which rotates in parallel with the guide path 10. , 22a, 22a, and the like, and the tip of each feed claw 22a is inserted into the guide path 10 through the lower end gap of the guide path 10, and the upper part of the guide path 10a. There are feed claws 22b, 22b, 22b ... Protruding at a predetermined interval on the loop body 21b that is partially rotated in parallel with the guide path 10. The tip of each feed claw 22b is located above the upper end of the guide path 10. An upper feeding device 20b which is adapted to enter the guide path 10 is provided to feed the vegetable pieces M from one end side to the other end side on the guide path 10. , The upper part and the lower part of the vegetable piece M without the feeding device 20 hindering. It has the function of molding a part and a part.

In addition to the above-mentioned action, the invention of “Claim 4” is attached to the holder body 33 attached to the elevating device 40 and holds the cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c ... At a predetermined standby angle. Since the stopper 33a is provided, when the cutting blade 30a begins to bite into the vegetable piece M, the vegetable piece M is bitten at a desired angle, and has a uniform and smooth curved surface so that the vegetable piece M can be shaped. is there.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 10 is a guide path 10 for transferring the vegetable pieces M pre-cut into a triangular shape in cross section.

The guide path 10 may be any guide as long as it supports the vegetable pieces M and transfers them from one end side to the other end side, and various concrete configurations can be realized, but the vegetable pieces M are stabilized. It is, of course, desirable that the guide rails be supported and guided, and in the present embodiment, a pair of strip-shaped guide rails 11 and 11 are provided opposite to each other. Then, as shown most clearly in "Fig. 2" and "Fig. 3", the guide rails 11 and 11 gradually become closer to each other as the upper end side widens downward, and when they reach a desired gap, next time. The distance between them gradually increases as they go downward.

Therefore, the guide path 10 supports the vegetable piece M pre-cut into a triangular cross section so as to support a part of two sides sandwiching the apex of the triangular cross section with one apex facing downward. Has become.

Since the guide path 10 in the illustrated example has the guide rails 11 and 11 formed of strips, it has good surface stability with the vegetable pieces M, but the friction resistance during transfer is large. . Therefore, the guide rails 11 and 11 may be replaced by strip plates, and round bars 11a, 11a, 11a, ... May be arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. However, in this case, if one side of the vegetable piece M is supported by only one round bar 11a, the stability is impaired, so it is necessary to support one side by two or more round bars.

The guide path 10 is provided with a feeding device 20 for feeding the vegetable pieces M on the guide path 10 from one end side to the other end side.

In the illustrated example, the feeding device 20 is provided with a pair of drive wheels (sprockets) 23 a and 24 a below the guide path 10, and a part of the drive wheels 23 a and 24 a is parallel to the guide path 10. A rotating loop (chain loop) body 21a is hung, and feed claws 22a, 22a, 22a ... Are projected on the loop body 21a at predetermined intervals, and the tip of each feed claw 22a is at the lower end space of the guide path 10. It is configured so that it can enter the guideway 10 more.

Therefore, when the loop body 21a is rotated by a drive source (not shown), the feed claws 22a, 22a, 22a ... Move in the guide path 10, and the feed claw 22a is a vegetable on the guide path 10. The piece M is hooked and pushed forward.

In the illustrated example, the feeding device 20 is provided below the guide path 10 and a part of which is rotated parallel to the guide path 10. 22a ... are provided so that the tips of the feed claws 22a come into the interior passage 10 from the lower end gaps of the guide passage 10 and above the guide passage 10. Are partially provided on the loop body 21b which rotates in parallel with the guide path 10 at predetermined intervals so that the tip of each feed claw 22b is guided from the upper end of the guide path 10. It is composed of an upper feeding device 20b which is adapted to enter the passage 10.

In the present embodiment, the feeding device 20 is divided into the lower feeding device 20a and the upper feeding device 20b in order to cut out both the upper portion and the lower portion of the vegetable piece M, and the lower feeding device 20a. This is because if either one of the upper feeding device 20b and the upper feeding device 20b interferes with the cutting, the upper cutting of the vegetable piece M is performed during the transfer at the lower feeding device 20a site, and the lower cutting device is cut. Is performed during transfer at the upper feeding device 20b.

In addition, the guide path 10 has a plurality of ends that are pivotally supported at the transfer start end side where the vegetable pieces M are sent from the cutting edge 31 and that are traversed by the guide path 10 and are moved up and down by the elevating device 40. Cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c.

The cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c, ... Are thin and have a narrow width from the cutting edge to the back, and as shown most clearly in FIG. , 32 are attached, and a pivot shaft 32a is attached further ahead of the cutting edge 31 of the connecting tool 32, and the pivot shaft 32a is connected to the holder body 33. Therefore, the cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c ... Are rotatable about the pivot shaft 32a.

The cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c, ... Are moved up and down by an elevating device 40. The elevating device 40 is composed of a cam 41 and a cam floor 42 in the illustrated example, and has a lower end. The holder body 33 is attached to the upper end of an elevating rod 43 having the cam floor 42 via an elevating piece 44. The lifting device 40 may use a conventionally known lifting device such as a solenoid, a cylinder, a screw forward / backward drive rod, etc., instead of the cam 41 and the cam floor 42.

Although not clearly shown in the figure, the elevating piece 44 can be moved only in the vertical direction by being guided by a standing frame groove of the machine base 8 or the like.

Then, in order to provide the cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c, ... so as to traverse the guide path 10, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of arm-shaped holder bodies are provided on the elevating piece 44. 33, 33 are provided so that the cutting blade 30b obliquely crosses a part of the guide path 10 (a diagonally upper portion of the guide path 10). Therefore, in this "Fig. 2" example, the left and right corners of the inverted triangular section of the vegetable piece M are cut, and the cutting blade 30c (not shown) for cutting the left and right other corners is " It may be provided in a bilaterally symmetric state with respect to FIG. The cutting blades 30b and 30c may be installed at one place of the guide path 10, but in this embodiment, they are provided at different positions in the front-back direction of the guide path 10, that is, the left-right direction of FIG. By arranging the cutting blades 30a, 30b, 30c ... at different positions, it is possible to cut hard vegetables such as potatoes with a small cutting resistance.

In FIG. 2, the lower holder body 33 is provided with an adder arm 33a. The adder arm 33a supports the lower end of the pivot shaft 32 so that the cutting blade 30b has its own weight. This is to prevent it from slipping downward and becoming unable to rotate smoothly.
