Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a slicer for cutting foods such as chunks of meat, fish and vegetables into a desired thickness.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in Fig. 4, a conventional food slicer has a feed conveyor (1) and a discharge conveyor (2) with a rotary transfer path of a rotary slice blade (5) sandwiched between the feed conveyor (1). The fed food (7) such as the lump of meat (7a) is sliced by the slicing blade (5) to a thickness corresponding to the feed amount, and this is delivered to the discharge conveyor (2) and discharged.

On both sides of the rotary transfer path of the slicing blade (5), two guide guides are provided between the transfer path and the upper curved surfaces (11) and (21) of both conveyors (1) and (2). Platforms (6) (60) are deployed. If the feed speed of the discharge conveyor (2) is faster than the feed speed of the feed conveyor (1), the slice pieces (71) will fall toward the discharge side on the discharge conveyor (2), and the adjacent slice pieces will shift. Lined up in a state of overlapping, so-called staggered cutting is possible.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

 There was no problem with the above-mentioned staggered slices, such as radish and carrots, where the shape of the sliced pieces was stable, but when slicing meat chunks, the overlapping length of adjacent sliced pieces was not constant, and However, irregular gaps (8) may occur between adjacent slice pieces. The applicant obtained the following conclusion as a result of examining the reason why the meat block cannot be stably shredded.

The conventional upstream guide cradle (6) serves only to guide the meat chunk (7a) straight from the feeding conveyor (1) to the transition path of the slice blade (5). Is not sharp because it is sliced only by the slicing blade (5) moving from top to bottom. Therefore, when the slicing blade (5) passes through the guide pedestal (60) on the downstream side, a piece of meat is dragged between the slicing blade (5) and the guide pedestal (60).

As described above, the slice piece (71) immediately after slicing has a sag (72) at the lower edge of the cutting due to poor sharpness, and the slice piece is on the guide stand (60) on the downstream side. When extruded, the sag (72) may shift from the guide support (60) to the transition path of the slice blade (5). When the slicing blade (5) passes over the sagging of the sag (72), the sagging (72) is pressed against the corner of the guide pedestal (60) and temporarily caught, preventing the slice piece from moving forward. , A slip occurs between the slice piece (71) and the belt (4). For this reason, the misalignment between the adjacent slice pieces (71) (71) becomes irregular.

If the downstream guide rest (60) of the two guide rests (6) (60) is omitted, the catch between the slice piece (71) and the guide rest (60) is eliminated. The sliced pieces fall from the gap between the feeding conveyor (1) and the discharge conveyor (2), and they cannot be sliced. The present invention clarifies a slicer that can be beautifully staggered by devising the discharge conveyor (2) and the guide support (6).

[0008]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The food slicer of the present invention is a food slicer in which the food feeding conveyor (1) and the food discharging conveyor (2) are arranged on both sides of the rotation transfer path of the rotary slicing blade (5), and the discharging conveyor (2) is at the upstream end. A plurality of thin belts (4) are endlessly stretched between the rollers provided on the upstream side and the downstream side, and the belt (4) moves on the peripheral surface of the upstream side roller (3). A large number of protrusions (31) projecting higher than the belt (4) wound around the roller (3) in the unobtrusive part, and the upper curved surface (11) at the downstream end of the feeding conveyor (1) and the slicing blade ( A guide cradle (6) is provided between the rotary transfer path of 5) and the upper curved surface (21) at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transfer path of the slice blade (5) are opened, The upper edge on the downstream side of the guide pedestal (6) is a cutting edge (61), and the cutting edge (61) does not hinder the rotational transition of the slicing blade (5) and does not interfere with the slicing blade (5). In a position to. The upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) may be arranged so that the height position thereof can be adjusted with respect to the guide pedestal (6).

[0009]

[Action and effect]

 Guide for guiding the food (7) from the feeding conveyor (1) to the rotation transition path of the slicing blade (5) Since the cutting edge (61) is formed at the upper edge on the downstream side of the pedestal (6), the food is slicing blade ( 5) That is, since the moving blade and the cutting edge (61) of the pedestal (6), ie, the fixed blade, slices the product like scissors, simply slicing down the slicing blade as in the conventional method. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of sagging at the cutting lower end of the meat piece as in the case of slicing.

Since the upper curved surface at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transition path of the slicing blade (5) are open, at the moment when the slicing blade (5) separates the meat piece, the sliced pieces are Although it is about to fall, it is caught by the projection (31) protruding from the roller (3) and is sent in the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor (2) by the rotation of the roller (3). Therefore, the sliced pieces will not slip off from the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2).

Since there is no conventional guide cradle (60) between the upper curved surface (21) at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transition path of the slicing blade (5), slice pieces ( The slip of the sliced piece (71) and the belt (4) due to the catch of 71) and the guide stand (60) disappears. As a result, slice pieces can be regularly shifted and stacked on the discharge conveyor (2) according to the speed difference between the feed conveyor (1) and the discharge conveyor (2).

When the sliced piece (71) is a thin piece of meat, the sliced piece immediately after slicing is caught by the protrusion (31) and wound around the roller (3) to try to rotate together with the roller, but the belt (4) Plays a role of separating the sliced piece (71) from the protrusion (31) when it separates from the arc surface of the roller (3), the sliced piece (71) is placed on the belt (4) and smoothly moved to the downstream side. Transition.

Further, if the approach distance can be adjusted with respect to the height on the upstream side of the discharge conveyor (2) and the rotation transfer path of the slicing blade (5), it corresponds to the type of food to be sliced and the slice thickness. Then, it can be cut under optimum conditions.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an essential part of the food slicer of the present invention, and as is known, the feed conveyor (1) and the discharge conveyor (2) are opposed to each other with the rotation transition path of the slicing blade (5) interposed therebetween. Have been deployed.

The slicing blade of the embodiment is a so-called nagana blade that forms a substantially crescent shape, and is one that rotates around one end thereof to cut food, but is not limited to this. It is also possible to cut by revolving the plate-shaped blade while revolving. The rotation transition path of the sliced blades below is the self-transition path of the knuckle blade centered at one end, and of the disc blade the public transfer path.

A feed speed adjusting device (not shown) is connected to each of the feed conveyor (1) and the discharge conveyor (2) so that the feed speed can be adjusted. A guide pedestal (6) is provided in the gap between the upper curved surface (11) at the downstream end of the feeding conveyor (1) and the rotation transition path of the slice blade (5), and the upper surface (62) of the pedestal is supported. ) Gradually inclines toward the downstream side, and the upper edge of the downstream end is a cutting edge (61) over the entire length. This is not a single edge, but the blade is intentionally formed to be a fixed blade for the rotary slice blade (5). The cutting edge (61) is in a position where it does not interfere with the rotational transition of the slice blade (5) and is in contact with the slice blade (5).

The discharge conveyor (2) is configured by endlessly stretching a plurality of thin belts (4) between an upstream roller (3) and a downstream roller (not shown). On the peripheral surface of the roller (3) on the upstream side, a large number of protrusions (31) are provided at regular intervals in the circumferential direction and the axial direction in a portion that does not hinder the transition of the belt (4). , The protrusion (31) protrudes slightly higher than the belt (4) wound around the roller (3). The projection (31) may be of any shape such as a small block piece as shown in FIG. 2 or a shaft body as shown in FIG. 3, and the point is that the slice piece can be scratched and lifted along the curved surface of the roller. .

The rollers (3) at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) are attached to the base (9) through a pair of L-shaped brackets (91) so that both ends can be adjusted in height position and front-back position. Has been. The position of the bracket (91) can be adjusted back and forth by a margin of the horizontally long hole (94) formed in the horizontal piece (92) and the fixed bolt (96) fitted in the hole. Further, the roller (3) can be vertically positioned by the margin of the vertically elongated hole (95) formed in the vertical piece (93) of the bracket (91) and the roller support shaft (97) fitted in the hole. Is. In addition to adjusting the position of the roller (3) at the upstream end as described above, the discharge conveyor (2) may be arranged such that the entire discharge conveyor (2) can be positioned in the height direction and the front-back direction.

On the discharge conveyor (2), a tension roller (98) which is spring-biased to prevent the belt (4) from slackening is provided by constantly pressing the belt (4). The minimum clearance between the protrusion (31) of the roller (3) and the guide pedestal (6) must be slightly larger than the thickness of the slicing blade (5), but how much it should be, and the roller (3). The height position of the may be set optimally according to the type and thickness of the food to be sliced. The upper curved surface (21) at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transition path of the slice blade (5) are open.

However, the feeding speed of the discharging conveyor (2) is made faster than that of the feeding conveyor (1) to operate both conveyors, and the lump of meat (7a) is cut by the slicing blade (5) at the feeding conveyor (2). ) Side. By the rotation of the slicing blade (5), the meat piece is sliced to a thickness corresponding to the feeding speed of the feeding conveyor (1).

Guide for guiding the food (7) from the feeding conveyor (1) to the rotation transition path of the slice blade (5) Since the cutting edge (61) is formed at the upper edge on the downstream side of the pedestal (6), the food is Slicing blade (5), that is, movable blade, and cutting blade (61) of pedestal (6), that is, fixed blade, slices like scissors. It is possible to prevent the sagging from occurring at the cutting lower end of the meat piece as in the case of slicing with meat.

Since the upper curved surface at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transition path of the slicing blade (5) are opened, the slice piece ( 71) tries to fall, but is caught by the protrusion (31) protruding from the roller (3) or the belt (4), and the rotation direction of the rotation of the roller (3) causes the discharge conveyor (2) to move in the conveying direction. Therefore, it does not slip off from the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2).

Since there is no conventional guide cradle (60) between the upper curved surface (21) at the upstream end of the discharge conveyor (2) and the transition path of the slice blade (5), slice pieces ( The slip of the sliced piece (71) and the belt (4) due to the catch of 71) and the guide stand (60) disappears. By repeating the above operation, the slice pieces can be regularly staggered and stacked on the discharge conveyor (2) according to the speed difference between the feed conveyor (1) and the discharge conveyor (2). The larger the speed difference between the feeding conveyor (1) and the discharging conveyor (2), the larger the deviation amount of the slice pieces on the discharging conveyor (2).

When the sliced piece (71) is thin, the protrusion (31) catches on the roller (3) and tries to rotate together with the roller, but the belt (4) is separated from the arc surface of the roller (3). At this time, the slice pieces (71) are placed on the belt (4) and smoothly move to the downstream side because they serve to separate the slice pieces (71) from the protrusions (31).

Further, if the approach distance can be adjusted with respect to the height of the upstream side of the discharge conveyor (2) and the rotation transfer path of the slicing blade (5), the type of food to be sliced and the slice thickness can be adjusted. Then, it can be cut under optimum conditions.

Further, in carrying out the present invention, by performing an intermittent operation in which the feeding conveyor (2) is stopped for a certain short time each time the slice blade (5) cuts a predetermined number of sheets, It is convenient to make a unit of the sliced pieces on the belt (4) with a gap between the units and to pack each unit.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims for utility model registration.
