Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a meat slicer for removing meat chips and the like adhering to a round blade.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The prior art will be described using JP-A-9-57689. In a meat slicer having a round blade rotatably supported by a round blade holding member provided on one side of the machine base, and a meat box reciprocally movable toward the round blade along the guide member on the machine base, One end is pivotally attached to the round blade cover, and the other end with the scraper attached is provided with an arm extending to the vicinity of the center of the back surface of the round blade, and the scraper is moved through the arm while the round blade is rotated. It presses against the back of the blade and removes the shavings adhering to the back of the blade. Since the round blade is on the normal operation side, that is, the rearmost side from the front of the machine base, that is, the back of the machine base, it is necessary to move from the front of the machine base to the back of the machine base in order to perform the removal operation.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The slicing operation is generally performed for 4 to 8 hours / day. The meat slicer that performs the slicing operation slices at a rate of 50 to 70 sheets / min. The meat box on which the block meat is placed moves reciprocally in the number of cycles. The block meat in the meat box comes into contact with the back surface of the rotating round blade every time it reciprocates. On the back side of the round blade that comes in contact with the block meat, meat-specific juices, fat and meat residue adhere to the entire surface. The adhering blade back has stickiness peculiar to meat, and if the slicing operation is continued as it is, stickiness, meat juice, fat, and meat scum adhere to the surface of the sliced meat piece, reducing the commercial value. For this reason, the removal of adhering gravy, fat, and meat residue is an indispensable operation. Generally, the cycle of removing the gravy, fat and meat residue adhering to the back surface of the round blade is a slicing operation every 30 minutes. As described above, every time the removal work is performed frequently (8 to 16 times / day), the operator must move to the back of the machine base and the workability is poor, and the scraper is placed on the back of the blade of the round blade via the arm. There was a problem that it required pressing and labor.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to improve the workability and work efficiency by enabling the removal of flesh residue during slicing work.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The purpose of the above is to provide a pressing member that has a scraper attached to the tip and presses the slide shaft attached to the meat box so that it can advance and retreat toward the back surface of the round blade. This is achieved by pressing the scraper against the blade back surface during reciprocal movement.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4, the left side is an operation side where an operator is positioned and performs operations such as driving and stopping, the horizontal direction is the front-rear direction, and the vertical direction is the horizontal direction. Further, in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the guide member 4 and the like in FIG. 4 are omitted for easy understanding.
[0007]
A round blade 2 is rotatably supported by a round blade holding member 3 provided on the upper rear side of the machine base 1. A meat box 5 is provided on the machine base 1 such that it can reciprocate along a guide member 4 such as a rail provided along the front-rear direction on the machine base 1. The meat box 5 is loaded with the block meat 13 to be sliced, and as is well known, the meat box 5 has a meat feed means for feeding the block meat 13 to the round blade 2 each time the block meat 13 is sliced. Although it is attached, the illustration is omitted because it is not directly related to the present invention. As is well known, the round blade 2 and the meat box 5 are driven via a motor (not shown) or the like provided in the machine base 1, the round blade 2 is rotated, and the meat box 5 is reciprocated toward the round blade 2. Is done. A bearing portion 6 is attached to the side surface of the round blade 2 of the meat box 5, that is, the rear side surface, and a slide shaft 8 extending in the horizontal direction toward the round blade 2 is attached to the bearing portion 6 so as to be able to advance and retreat toward the round blade 2. It has been. A scraper 9 is fixed to the end of the slide shaft 8 on the round blade 2 side, and the slide shaft 8 is always pressed to the round blade 2 side by a spring 11 provided between the bearing portion 6 and the projection portion 10. Therefore, the scraper 9 is pressed against the blade back surface 7 of the round blade 2, and the scraper 9 moves in the front-rear direction while contacting the blade back surface 7 when the meat box 5 is reciprocated. Etc. will be removed.
[0008]
When the block meat 13 is placed on the meat box 5 and a switch or the like (not shown) is operated, the round blade 2 rotates and the meat box 5 starts reciprocating. Each time the meat box 5 reciprocates once, one sliced meat piece 12 is discharged, and the block meat 13 is fed to the round blade 2 side by the meat feeding means by the thickness to be sliced each time. This operation is repeated to continuously slice the block meat 13. When the switch or the like is turned off, the operations of the round blade 2 and the meat box 5 are stopped, and the slicing of the block meat 13 is finished. Regardless of whether or not the meat box 5 is reciprocated, the scraper 9 at the tip of the slide shaft 8 pressed by the spring 11 remains in contact with the blade back surface 7 of the round blade 2. In a general slicing operation, raw meat is sliced, and when the meat box 5 starts to reciprocate, the sliced surface of the block meat 13 swells toward the round blade 2 at the same time, and the back surface of the rotating round blade 2 is rotated. 7, the meat juice, fat, and meat residue adhere to the entire surface of the blade back surface 7 due to the unique stickiness of the meat. Since the scraper 9 is provided, the gravy, fat, and meat residue on the blade back surface 7 are removed when the meat box 5 is returned. During the slicing operation for 4 to 8 hours / day as described above, the scraper 9 always removes gravy, fat, meat residue, etc. from the blade back surface 7, eliminating the need for a new removal operation and improving the efficiency of the removal operation. Can be achieved. Further, it is not necessary to leave the operation position, and workability can be improved.
[0009]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the removal operation can be selectively executed. That is, a hole 16 is provided in the slide shaft 8 and a pin 17 that engages with the hole 16 and prevents the scraper 9 from contacting the blade back surface 7 is provided in the bearing portion 6 so as to be movable.
[0010]
The pin 17 is engaged with the hole 16 as shown in FIG. 9 to stop the removal operation so that the scraper 9 does not come into contact with the back surface 7 of the blade, and the pin 17 is retracted as shown in FIG. The removal operation is canceled so that the scraper 9 is in contact with the blade back surface 7 so that the removal operation can be executed.
[0011]
When it is determined that meat juice, fat, meat flesh adheres to the surface of the sliced meat piece 12 and the commercial value is reduced, the removal operation is executed, and when the surface of the meat piece 12 is determined to be good, the removal operation is stopped. According to this embodiment, compared with the said embodiment, there exists an effect that the wear of the scraper 9 decreases and the lifetime of the scraper 9 can be improved.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the removal work is automatically executed at the time of slicing, so that a new removal work is unnecessary, the work efficiency can be improved, and it is not necessary to leave the operation position. Can be improved. In addition, it is possible to selectively perform the removal operation, and it is possible to achieve the operational effects such as improving the life of the scraper.
