Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、肉のような食品を刃物で切断する食品スライサにおいて、切断された食品の切片を送り出す送り出しコンベア装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
食肉用の食品スライサは、生肉や冷凍肉のような食品を切断厚さ分ずつ前下りの傾斜方向に供給する供給コンベアを前後方向に設け、供給コンベアの前側に突出した食品の前端を食品供給方向と直角に切断する刃物を垂直面から前側に傾斜した面内に設け、刃物で切断された食品の切片が載る送り出しコンベアを前後方向に設けている。
【０００３】
供給コンベアによって食品が前下り方向に供給されて食品の前端が供給コンベアの前側に突出する毎に、供給コンベアの前側に突出した食品の前端が刃物によって食品供給方向と直角に、即ち、垂直面から前側に傾斜した面で切断される。刃物で切断された食品の切片は、前側に倒れて送り出しコンベア上に落下し、駆動中の送り出しコンベアに載って、次工程に送り出される。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のような食品スライサにおいては、刃物で切断された食品の切片を送り出しコンベア上に所望の通りに配列するためには、食品切片の寸法や質量などの切断条件に応じて、送り出しコンベアの高さ、具体的には、供給コンベア前側の刃物による切断位置から送り出しコンベアの後端即ち始端までの落差を調整する必要がある。
【０００５】
ところが、刃物は、垂直面から前側に傾斜しているので、送り出しコンベアを真上に移動すると、送り出しコンベアの始端が刃物に衝突し、送り出しコンベアを真下に移動すると、送り出しコンベアの始端が刃物から遠ざかってしまう。
【０００６】
そこで、送り出しコンベアを前後方向に移動すると共に、上下方向に移動することが考えられるが、前後方向への移動操作と上下方向への移動操作とを要し、多くの手間が掛かる。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
１）食品を切断厚さ分ずつ供給する供給コンベアを前後方向に設け、供給コンベアの前側に突出した食品の前端を切断する刃物を垂直面から前側に傾斜した面内に設け、食品の前端が供給コンベアの前側に突出する毎に、供給コンベアの前側に突出した食品の前端が刃物によって垂直面から前側に傾斜した刃物配置面で切断される構成にし、刃物で切断された食品の切片を載せて送り出す送り出しコンベアを前後方向に設け、送り出しコンベアの後端の始端を、刃物による切断位置の下前側に配置して、刃物で切断された食品の切片が刃物配置面から前側に倒れて送り出しコンベアの始端に落下する構成にした食品スライサにおいて、
送り出しコンベアの始端を刃物配置面に沿って斜め上下方向に移動する斜め昇降を案内する案内機構を設け、送り出しコンベアの始端の位置を固定する固定機構を設け、
送り出しコンベアの始端を案内機構の案内で斜めに上昇又は下降して移動し、送り出しコンベアの始端の位置を固定機構で固定し、送り出しコンベアの始端の高さを調整して刃物による切断位置から送り出しコンベアの始端までの落差を調整する構成にしたことを特徴とする送り出しコンベア装置。
【０００８】
２）上記の送り出しコンベア装置において、
案内機構は、斜め昇降案内機構と前後動案内機構からなり、
送り出しコンベアをコンベア台の上に配置し、送り出しコンベアの始端側とコンベア台との間に、垂直線から前側に傾斜した斜め上下方向に沿った案内溝とこの案内溝に嵌合した案内ピンからなる斜め昇降案内機構を設け、送り出しコンベアの終端側とコンベア台との間に、前後方向に沿った案内溝とこの案内溝に嵌合した案内ピンからなる前後動案内機構を設けたことを特徴とする。
【００１０】
３）上記の送り出しコンベア装置において、
ハンドルの一方向又は他方向の回転で送り出しコンベアの始端を刃物配置面に沿って斜めに上昇又は下降する昇降機構を設けたことを特徴とする。
【００１１】
【発明の効果】
刃物で切断された食品の切片を送り出しコンベア上に所望の通りに配列するため、切片の寸法や質量などの切断条件に応じて、刃物による切断位置から送り出しコンベアの始端までの落差を調整する場合、送り出しコンベアの始端を刃物配置面に沿って斜めに上昇又は下降し、送り出しコンベアの始端を所望の高さに配置する。
【００１２】
刃物による切断位置から送り出しコンベアの始端までの落差の調整は、送り出しコンベア始端を斜め方向に移動することによって簡単に行うことができる。

Is rotatably mounted. At the center of the mounting center piece 52, it is mounted so as to be rotatable through the operation shaft 53 and not to move in the axial direction, and a handle 54 is fixed to the lower end of the operation shaft 53.
[0039]
L-shaped mounting side pieces 55 are fixed to the left and right sides of the lower end of the mounting frame 35, respectively, and a rod-shaped mounting center piece 56 is fitted between the left and right mounting side pieces 55. The protruding round shafts are respectively fitted into round holes penetrating the left and right mounting side pieces 55, and a mounting center piece 56 is rotatably mounted between the left and right mounting side pieces 55. The center portion of the mounting center piece 56 is screwed through a screw shaft portion on the upper end side of the operation shaft 53.
[0040]
When the operation shaft 53 is rotated in one direction or the other direction by the handle 54 for raising and lowering the delivery conveyor, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the delivery conveyor 31 is moved to the oblique lifting guide mechanisms 42 to 44 and the longitudinal movement guide mechanisms 46 to 48. It is guided and moved, and the starting end of the delivery conveyor 31 rises obliquely upward or descends obliquely along the surface on which the blades 23 and 25 are arranged.
[0041]
In order to arrange the food pieces cut by the blades 23 and 25 as desired on the feed-out conveyor 31, the feed-out conveyor 31 is cut from the cutting position by the blades 23 and 25 in accordance with cutting conditions such as the size and mass of the food pieces. When adjusting the head to the starting end of the feed conveyor, the handle 45 for fixing the feed conveyor is loosened so that the feed conveyor 31 can be moved, and then the handle 54 for raising and lowering the feed conveyor is rotated in one direction or the other direction to feed the feed conveyor. The starting end of the feed conveyor 31 is raised or lowered along the surface where the blades 23 and 25 are arranged, the starting end of the feed conveyor 31 is arranged at a desired height, and then the handle 45 for fixing the feed conveyor is tightened to start the feed conveyor 31. At the desired height.
[0042]
Adjustment of the height of the start end of the delivery conveyor 31 can also be performed during the cutting work of the food by the blades 23 and 25.
