DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food slicer (meat cutting machine) for cutting meat, and more particularly to a meat slicer capable of vertically moving a meat placing part so as to cut the meat to be cut thinly and properly align it. The present invention relates to a food slicer having an up-and-down reciprocating type meat placing portion capable of aligning, transferring and folding a cutting blade and a cut piece of meat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, modern eating and drinking culture is thriving with eating and drinking cultures using meat, and machinery for processing such meats, for example, refrigeration, freezing and slicer (cutting machine or meat). Cutting machines, etc.) and meat processing equipment such as osteotomy machines, fat removal and separation machines.

[0003] Such a meat cutting device is provided with a cutting blade device for cutting a meat mass to be cut and a cutting blade device for reciprocating or transferring the loaded meat mass and supplying the meat mass to the cutting blade so that the cutting blade can cut the meat mass. A meat loading reciprocating part, a thickness adjusting plate separated from the cutting blade to adjust the cutting thickness of the meat chunk, and a transfer conveyor for transferring the cut meat piece and the meat chunk to be cut.

As shown in the perspective view of the conventional slicer in FIGS. 12 and 13 and the plan view of the conventional slicer in FIG. Is reciprocated left and right by a reciprocating device while being transferred to the high-speed rotating cutting blade 30 by the transfer of the upper transfer roll and the lower transfer conveyor, so that the separation distance between the cutting blade 30 and the thickness adjusting plate 31 of the support plate is adjusted. Meat lump 6 according to thickness
Are cut off, and some of the attached devices are changed and used for frozen meat or raw meat.

[0005] In such a slicer, since the left-right reciprocating device on which the meat mass is placed has a large left-right movement distance, there is a problem that the size of the body is increased and many safety accidents occur in the reciprocating area of the worker. The cutting work is performed vertically from the side of the circular cutting blade in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the cutting piece first cuts and falls due to the rotating force of the cutting blade and the weight of the cutting piece, so the cutting piece is bent, that is, spread. Without the condition, wrinkles and warps occur, and the cut meat pieces are hardened. Such wrinkles cause a problem of deteriorating the visual effect and commercial value, and cause the cut meat pieces to be unable to be properly aligned.

[0006] For this reason, at the drop position, the operator receives the cut pieces of meat one by one and aligns them on a plate or a conveyor, but such an operation makes it difficult for the operator to take thin and flexible pieces of cut meat. Work speed is slow, so skill is required,
In addition, even a skilled person has a limitation on the alignment speed,
After the machine is stopped during the work, the alignment is completed, and then the operation is repeated, so that there is a disadvantage that the cutting work cannot be performed quickly. Therefore, a large number of slicers are provided and a large number of workers are required, which has an uneconomic disadvantage.

In such an operation, since raw meat is cut into thin pieces, it is difficult for an operator to handle the thin meat pieces. For this reason, the operator must contact a wide part with a large pressing force during the operation. Body temperature is transmitted to the cut meat pieces,
The meat quality is degraded due to the temperature difference of the cut meat pieces, and there is a problem in hygiene due to various germs transmitted from the hands of workers.

In addition, the cutting blade rotating at high speed is terrible,
Further, since it is extremely dangerous, the worker feels considerable anxiety and causes a reduction in work efficiency.

[0009] On the other hand, in the reciprocating right and left slicer, when the meat lump is reciprocated right and left at a high speed in a state where the meat lump is placed thereon, the reciprocation may cause the meat lump to be disproportionately separated and removed. Although there is a means for fixing the meat, it is not possible to fix the flexible meat chunks securely. Therefore, there is a risk of detachment due to eccentric gravity, which may cause a personnel accident. There is a problem that the reciprocating device frequently breaks down.

In order to improve such problems, many inventions have been filed and registered by the applicant of the present invention and the like, but the improvement to the left-right reciprocating means and the stable guide transfer of the cut meat pieces is fundamentally solved. It has not been done.

Further, in order to eliminate the left-right reciprocating movement as described above, Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-42152 discloses a method in which the meat placing portion is fixed, the rotary cutting blade is rotated at a high speed, and the entire cutting blade device is rotated. Tried to cut the meat mass placed on the meat placing part by rotating 360 ° with gas, but this configuration is difficult to manufacture due to its mechanical structure, and the danger due to the rotating blade rotating with a large turning radius Not actually manufactured or used due to failure.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has a structure in which a meat placing portion on which a meat mass is placed is reciprocated up and down, and is generated in an airframe. Food with vibration prevention and shock prevention, no failure and no danger, quick cutting work and automatic alignment possible, and up-and-down reciprocating type meat rest to improve problems caused by left and right reciprocation Its purpose is to provide a slicer.

Further, the present invention cuts a mass of meat on a meat placing portion in a wide area, thereby reducing a cutting position difference and a time difference, and automatically sending a falling cut piece to a transfer conveyor in a spread state without wrinkles. Another purpose is to align and transport the products.

Another object of the present invention is to bend the cut piece of meat to be transferred again in two equal parts.

[0015]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a driving device comprising a motor and a speed reducer of a slicer body, transmission means interlocked with the driving apparatus, and guide of the body by the transmission means. The table includes a reciprocating table movably provided on the table, and a meat rest fixed to the table and reciprocating up and down.

The table is connected to the counterweight via a chain and a sprocket mounted on the body, so that the weight can be balanced when the table is reciprocated up and down.

A cutting blade which is rotated at a high speed by a drive motor is provided at an upper portion of the body, and the cutting blade is inclined outward with respect to a vertical plane of the body to minimize a friction surface with a meat lump to prevent meat damage. Can be reduced.

A transfer roll is provided on the back surface of the thickness adjusting plate, and the transfer roll is provided with a one-way chain gear interlocked via a chain connected to a table.

The meat placing section 20 on which the meat mass 6 is placed is reciprocated by the transmission crank 12 connected to the driving device, and the vertical reciprocating table 14 is
5 and the sprocket 16 are connected to the balance cone 17 so that the weight balance during vertical reciprocation is maintained, and the cutting round blade 30 that rotates at a high speed by a drive motor above the gas 10 has a vertical surface of the body 10. As a result, the frictional surface with the cut meat is minimized, so that damage to meat quality is minimized.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are side views showing a state of transferring cut meat pieces according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a structural view showing the transfer roll of FIG. As shown in these figures, a transfer roll 35 is provided on the rear surface of the thickness adjusting plate 31 and has a chain gear 33 connected to a chain provided on the table 14 so that the table 14 moves upward. The cut meat piece 50 cut by the one-way rotation is transferred.

By forming the cut meat piece transfer conveyor 40 together with the transfer roll 35, the cut meat pieces are transferred, and the transfer conveyor 40 can be moved up and down.
The transfer conveyor 40 is driven forward and backward by a sensor and a controller, so that the cut meat pieces 50 can be folded in equal parts, and the cutting round blades 30 are attached diagonally, so that the cutting round blades 30 and the meat chunks 6 can be folded. Contact surface is reduced.

Further, in this embodiment, in addition to the cutting blade 30 which is obliquely mounted, the meat placing portion 20 which reciprocates up and down is also obliquely mounted, so that the meat lump placed thereon is cut. 6 can be smoothly guided.

Denotes a transfer position sensor of the meat placing portion, 67 denotes a transfer conveyor transmission device, and 70 denotes a cut meat piece detachment and guide plate device.

The operation and effect of the embodiment constructed as described above will be described in detail as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, a meat mass 6 to be cut is placed on a supply conveyor 5 of a meat placing portion 20 provided in a food slicer body 10 according to the present embodiment, and a power supply is turned on as known. When turned on, the slicer is activated by the controller.

That is, when a sensor (not shown) provided on the tip side of the meat placing portion 20 detects that there is no meat to be cut, and transmits a signal to the controller, the conveyor 5 is operated. The loaded meat block 6 is transferred.

As a result, the meat mass is transferred to the cutting round blade 30 side, and in accordance with a signal from the controller, the driving device 11 including the motor of the machine body 10 and the speed reducer operates to operate the cutting round blade 30. The drive device 11 operates the transmission crank 12 to reciprocate the table 14 provided on the guide 13 of the body 10 up and down on the guide 13.

Therefore, the meat mass 6 on the meat placing portion 20 provided on the table 14 is moved by the feeding conveyor 5 when the meat placing portion 20 fixed to the table 14 moves upward. 20, the meat mass 6 is brought into close contact with the thickness adjusting plate 31 at the tip and is moved upward, so that the cutting circle is cut to the thickness of the separation distance between the thickness adjusting plate 31 and the cutting round blade 30. It is cut by the blade 30, and after cutting, it is moved downward again. By repeating such a vertical reciprocating motion, the cut meat piece 50 is subsequently cut.

At this time, the table 14 stores the chain 1
5 is connected to the balancing cone 17 via a sprocket 16 provided on the fuselage 10, so that the meat placing portion 20, the meat mass 6 to be cut and the load of the table 14 are kept in balance with the load of the table 14. It improves vertical movement, prevents excessive force loading, prevents eccentricity due to impact, and enables stable reciprocation.

On the upper side of the machine body 10, the cutting round blade 30, which rotates at a high speed by the drive motor, cuts the meat chunk 6 moving upward.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the cutting round blade 30 is formed obliquely with respect to the body 10 in a vertical state.
By minimizing the frictional surface with the meat chunk 6 to be cut, damage to the meat quality can be reduced, and as shown in FIG.

It is a matter of course that the meat placing portion 20 can be smoothly supplied by attaching the meat placing portion 20 obliquely together with the cutting circular blade 30 attached obliquely.

As shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11, a transfer roll 35 is provided on the back side of the thickness adjusting plate 31, and the transfer roll 35 is a one-way chain linked to the chain connected to the table 14. When the table 14 is moved upward, it is rotated in one direction at the same circumferential speed as the upward moving speed of the table so that the cut piece 50 is transferred to the outside at the same speed as the cutting speed. A projection is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cut meat piece 50 so that the cut meat piece 50 is transported without slippage, thereby preventing wrinkles or poor transfer of the cut meat piece 50.

On the other hand, when the table 14 moves downward, the transfer roll 35 is configured to prevent reverse rotation, thereby preventing the cut meat piece 50 from moving backward.

A transfer conveyor 40 for the cut meat pieces 50 is provided at the rear of the transfer roll 35. The transfer conveyor 40 is configured to be vertically movable so as to be able to adjust the height and to be rotatable forward and backward. By doing so,
As shown in (2), the transfer conveyor 40 moves downward to fold the cut meat pieces 50 to be transferred equally, and to reverse the transfer conveyor 40 so as to fold the same.

That is, the cut meat piece 50 transferred by the transfer roll 35 moves downward simultaneously with the transfer, and at this time,
The leading end of the cut meat piece 50 hangs on the transfer conveyor 40, and the cut piece 50 is folded equally by the subsequent movement, and the transfer conveyor 40 is rotated forward again, whereby the cut meat piece is folded.

Here, if the transfer conveyor 40 is reversed at a constant rotation speed to increase the folding effect, the folding process can be performed more quickly.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the meat placing portion 20 on which the meat mass 6 to be cut is placed can be reciprocated up and down, so that the size of the body is reduced and the risk is reduced. This has the effect of reducing production costs due to stable operation and easiness of production, and enables continuous operation by properly aligning the cut pieces of meat, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs due to ease of operation. It can be expected and has the feature that slicing work is possible even in a small work space.

[0042]

As described above, according to the present invention, the meat placing section on which the meat mass is placed is reciprocated up and down, so that the slicer can be easily manufactured, danger can be prevented, labor costs can be reduced, and the work cost can be reduced. The effect of improving the work efficiency by minimizing the space is obtained, and by cutting the meat safely by minimizing the breakage and debris of the meat, the quality of the product is improved by increasing the cutting effect, and the cut pieces of meat can be used. It is a useful invention that can be folded in minutes to greatly increase the workability and commercial value, and a useful invention that can cut the cut meat pieces neatly to increase the aesthetic effect.
