DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved slicer for cutting a substantially spherical cut piece such as a pumpkin, a melon, a watermelon, a summer tangerine, etc. into a predetermined thickness.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Root crops such as radish and the like are cut into four pieces, eight pieces, etc. by a radial blade provided in a transfer cylinder while feeding the root vegetables such as radish by a jet flow. The cutting is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-43879.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned method, the adjusting mechanism and the adjusting operation when changing the thickness of the cut object to be large or small are troublesome, and when the thickness is cut thin, the cut object is pushed. It takes a great deal of power to do so, especially when the skin of a pumpkin or the like is hard. In view of these circumstances, the present invention improves the above-mentioned defects and can easily cut a cut object to a desired thickness to a predetermined thickness, and easily cuts a hard cut object. It is an object to provide a slicer which can be used.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is configured such that a clamping rotary shaft can be axially adjusted and fixed opposite a tip of a rotary shaft which rotates intermittently at a predetermined angle. And a cutting blade reciprocating by a reciprocating mechanism toward the axis of these two shafts is provided laterally between the rotary shaft and the holding rotary shaft so as to operate when the rotary shaft is intermittently stopped. The rotary shaft is driven by a pulse motor capable of changing and adjusting an intermittent rotation pitch so that the rotary shaft can be stopped an arbitrary number of times in one rotation, and the cutting blade is reciprocally slid by a crank mechanism. It is preferable that a holding needle rod for supporting the object to be cut is removably fitted to the tip of the holding rotary shaft so that the object can be replaced depending on the kind of the object to be cut or its cutout. In addition, a rotating handle rod is Is allowed, preferably to the axial position of the clamping rotary shaft to form freely engaging in regulating rack the handle rod adjustable fixed according to the size of the switching 截物.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. One side of a machine base 1 is provided with a pulse motor 2 provided at a base and capable of changing and adjusting an intermittent rotation pitch. A rotating shaft 3 that rotates intermittently is provided at each time, and a supporting shaft 4 is slidably supported in the axial direction on the other side of the machine base 1 in the direction of the leading end of the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably supported so as to face the rotating shaft 3, and the rotating shaft 3 and the rotating shaft 5
At the tip of the pinching needle rod mounting body 7 with the pinching needle rod 6 respectively mounted
Are detachably mounted, and the shape and number of the pinching needles 6 or the pinching needle rod mounting plate 7 are changed according to the breakage of the pinching needles 6 and the type and size of the cut object A. It is configured to be able to.

Further, the support shaft 4 is engaged with a handle rod 8 whose base end is pivotally supported by the machine base 1, and a lock 9 provided on the handle rod 8 is provided on the machine base 1. It is formed so that it can be locked to the arc-shaped adjustment rack 10, and the locking tool 9 is locked to the adjustment rack 10 by the rotation of the handle rod 8 so that the support shaft 4 can be fixed at an arbitrary position in the axial direction. I have.

[0007] The machine 1 on the side of the opposing portion of the rotating shaft 3 and the sandwiching rotating shaft 5 receives a crank mechanism 1
2 and the rotating shaft 5 via the sliding rod 13
A sliding plate 14 is provided which reciprocates and slides toward the shaft core. A cutting blade 15 is removably fixed to the front end of the sliding plate 14, and the motor 11 and the pulse motor 2 are interlocked. For example, the pulse motor 2 is controlled to stop intermittently after a control sensor (not shown) provided on the shaft of the motor 11 detects the end of the cutting operation of the cutting blade 15. The leading edge of the cutting blade 15 is the object to be cut A
May be formed in a convex shape, a concave shape, or a linear shape depending on the type of the light emitting element.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the pulse motor is adjusted in advance according to the cut thickness of the substantially spherical cut object A such as squash, melon, watermelon, sea urchin, summer tangerine, etc. After the intermittent rotation pitch is set, the object to be cut A is clamped and supported between the rotation shaft 3 and the rotation support shaft 5 by operating the handle rod 8, and then the pulse motor 2 and the motor 11 are driven. The rotary shaft 3 rotates the object A intermittently in turn at a predetermined angle, and at the time of the intermittent stop, the cutting blade 15 cuts the object A by the reciprocating sliding action of the crank mechanism 12. By repeating such an operation, the object to be cut A is sliced into a predetermined number of small pieces by one rotation of the rotating shaft 3.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a substantially spherical cut object is cut by a cutting blade which reciprocates at the time of the intermittent stop, while being held between an intermittently rotating rotary shaft and a holding rotary shaft and rotating. Therefore, small pieces having a predetermined thickness and a certain thickness can be sequentially and continuously cut, and the squash with a hard epidermis can be sliced smoothly and reliably.

In the present invention, since the clamping needle rod is removably fitted to the rotating shaft and the clamping rotating shaft, it can be easily replaced when it is broken, and is optimally adapted to the kind of the object to be cut. By using the clamping needle bar, the cut object can be smoothly and reliably supported, and the cutting operation can be easily performed.

In addition, by using a pulse motor capable of changing and adjusting the intermittent rotation pitch for the rotation of the rotating shaft, and by reciprocating the cutting blade via a crank mechanism operating in conjunction with the pulse motor, the cutting blade is cut. The thickness of the cut piece can be easily changed according to the type of cut, the purpose of cooking, and the like.

[0012] Further, since the holding rotary shaft is locked and fixed to the adjustment rack via the handle, it is not affected by the size of the cut object, and the cut object is securely held and the cutting operation can be easily performed. Can be.
