Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a meat slicer for slicing meat chunks.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 9, the conventional general meat slicer has a meat box 3 that holds the meat block 2 on the side of the rotary blade 1, and the meat box 3 reciprocates in a direction substantially parallel to the rotary blade 1. By repeating the movement operation and the operation of feeding the meat chunk 2 from the meat box 3 by a predetermined amount, the meat chunk 2 delivered from the meat box 3 is sliced to a predetermined thickness with the rotary blade 1 and the meat piece 4 Is discharged to the side of the rotary blade 1 (the side opposite to the meat box 3).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in general, the meat slicer has a configuration in which the meat box 3 is placed close to the rotary blade 1 so that the meat block 2 fed out from the meat box 3 can be thinly sliced by the rotary blade 1. For this reason, when performing maintenance work such as cleaning work around the rotary knife 1 and replacement work of the rotary knife 1, the meat box 3 is difficult to perform because of obstruction, and the maintenance work cannot be performed efficiently. In addition, since the work space around the rotary blade 1 is narrow, there is a risk that a hand or a finger may accidentally contact the rotary blade 1 and be injured during maintenance work.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to widen the working space when performing the maintenance work for the slicing blade and its surroundings, and to maintain and maintain the safety. The object is to provide a meat slicer that can be improved.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, claim 1 of the present invention provides:The meat holding part for holding the meat chunk is reciprocated in a direction substantially parallel to the slicing blade and fed out from the meat holding part.In a meat slicer that slices meat chunks with a cutting knife,
  A reciprocating drive mechanism that is disposed below the slicing cutter side and reciprocates the meat holding portion in a direction substantially parallel to the slicing cutter;
  SaidBetween the slicing work position where the meat holding part is brought close to the slicing blade and the meat chunk is sliced with the slicing blade, and the maintenance work position where the maintenance work space around the slicing blade is widened away from the slicing blade TheSlide in the axial direction of the slicing bladeMovement mechanism for maintenance that can be movedWhen,
  Means for prohibiting driving of the slicing blade and the meat holding unit when the meat holding unit is not set at the slicing work position;
  WithThis is a configuration.
[0006]
  In this configuration,When performing the slicing operation, the meat holding unit is set at the slicing operation position, and the meat holding unit is moved back and forth in a direction parallel to the slicing blade while the meat holding unit is brought close to the slicing blade. The meat chunk sent out from is sliced with a knife for slicing. on the other hand,When performing maintenance work such as cleaning work around the slicing blade or replacing the slicing tool, the meat holder must beFrom the slice working positionMaintenance work positionSlide in the axial direction of the blade for slicingMove, The meat holding partFrom slicing knifeIn its axial directionThe maintenance work space around the slicing blade is widened by moving away. As a result, the meat holding part does not interfere with the work, and the maintenance work for the slicing knife and its surroundings is facilitated, the work efficiency is improved, and the hand and fingers accidentally come into contact with the slicing tool during the maintenance work. Can also be avoided.
[0007]
By the way, in the conventional general meat slicer, every time the slicing blade is polished or replaced, the blade axis of the slicing blade is moved in the axial direction to adjust the position of the slicing blade and the slice holder. The gap with the cutting tool was kept constant. However, when the slicing blade (blade shaft) is moved, the positional relationship between the drive pulley on the drive motor side of the slicing blade and the driven pulley on the blade shaft side shifts accordingly, so the belt stretched around both pulleys However, there is a drawback that the belt wears easily and the durable life of the belt is shortened.
[0008]
  Therefore, as in claim 2, the gap between the meat holding unit and the slicing blade when the meat holding unit is set at the slicing work position is defined as the meat holding unit.In the axial direction of the cutting toolIt is preferable to provide a gap adjusting means for adjusting by moving. In this way, the gap between the meat holding portion and the slicing blade can be adjusted while the position of the slicing blade (blade shaft) is fixed, so that the meat is held every time the slicing blade is polished or replaced. The positional relationship between the pulley on the drive motor side of the slicing blade and the pulley on the blade shaft side can always be kept constant even if the gap between the blade and the slicing blade is kept constant. The durability of the belt stretched over the belt can be improved. In addition, the meat slicer of the present invention has a wide maintenance work space around the meat holding part by moving the meat holding part to the maintenance work position. The gap adjustment work can be performed.
[0009]
  In addition, the conventional general meat slicer has a structure in which the meat holding unit is arranged on a frame on which the reciprocating drive mechanism of the meat holding unit is assembled, and the slicing blade is attached to the corner or the side of the frame. , ClaimsIn the invention according to 1,The reciprocating drive mechanism of the meat holder is arranged below the slicing blade side.Have. In this configuration, since the slicing cutter can be mounted directly above the gantry with the reciprocating drive mechanism installed, the design around the slicing cutter is improved compared to the conventional configuration in which the slicing cutter is attached to the corner or side of the gantry. The degree of freedom increases. For this reason, a vacant space can be taken widely around the knife for slicing, and the maintenance property of the knife for slicing and the periphery thereof can be further improved.
  As an embodiment of the present invention, as described in claim 3, the maintenance moving mechanism slides the meat holding portion with respect to a slide metal reciprocated in a direction substantially parallel to the slicing blade by a reciprocating drive mechanism. The meat holding part is supported so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the slicing blade between the slicing work position and the maintenance work position by fixing the receiving shaft to be supported so as to extend in the axial direction of the slicing blade The gap adjusting means may be configured to adjust the locking position of the meat holding portion when set at the slicing work position with an adjusting bolt along the receiving shaft.
[0010]
Furthermore, you may make it arrange | position so that the chip receptacle which accepts the chip of meat may be attached or detached directly under the cutting blade. In this way, the meat chips falling below the slicing blade can be received by the chip tray, and the chips in the chip tray can be processed by removing the chip tray. It becomes easier. Moreover, the maintenance work space around the slicing blade can be increased by moving the meat holding part to the maintenance work position, so even if a relatively large chip tray is placed directly under the slicing blade, the chip tray can be easily used. Can be detached.
[0011]
  ClaimsIn the invention according to 1,When the meat holding unit is not set at the slicing work position, the driving of the slicing blade and the meat holding unit is prohibited.Have. That is, when the meat holding unit is not set at the slicing operation position, it is determined that the maintenance operation is being performed, and the slicing blade and the meat holding unit are prohibited from being driven. In this way, it is possible to prevent the slicing blade and the meat holding unit from operating even if the start switch is operated by mistake during the maintenance work.
[0012]

[0017]
Hereinafter, a specific configuration of each unit will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the rotary blade 14 is fastened and fixed to the tip end portion of the blade shaft 26 by a bolt 25, and the central portion of the blade shaft 26 is rotatably supported by a bearing case 28 via a plurality of bearings 27. Has been. The bearing case 28 is fixed to the tool mount 13 such that the left side portion (the portion on the mounting side of the rotary blade 14) protrudes from the tool mount 13. Thereby, the space | interval of the blade stand 13 and the rotary blade 14 is made comparatively large, and the empty space around the rotary blade 14 is taken widely. In the present embodiment, the blade shaft adjustment mechanism for adjusting the axial position of the rotary blade 14 (blade shaft 26) is omitted.
[0018]
On the other hand, a motor 29 (see FIG. 2) for driving the rotary blade 14 and a deceleration pulley 30 are provided on the lower surface of the table 12. The deceleration pulley 30 is configured by integrally rotating a large-diameter pulley 30a and a small-diameter pulley 30b, and is rotatably supported by a pulley shaft 32 via a plurality of bearings 31. The pulley shaft 32 is fixed to the lower surface of the table 12 via a bracket 33.
[0019]
A drive pulley 34 (see FIG. 2) is connected to the rotation shaft of the motor 29, and a belt 35 is stretched between the drive pulley 34 and the large-diameter pulley 30 a of the deceleration pulley 30. Further, a belt 37 is stretched between the small-diameter pulley 30 b of the deceleration pulley 30 and a driven pulley 36 connected to the rear end portion of the blade shaft 26. In the present embodiment, a plurality of (for example, two) belt grooves are formed in the small-diameter pulley 30b and the driven pulley 36, respectively, and a belt 37 is stretched over each belt groove. The rotational force of the motor 29 is transmitted to the rotary blade 14 via a speed reduction mechanism composed of the plurality of pulleys 30, 34, 36 and belts 35, 37 and the like.
[0020]
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the large-sized chip receptacle 38 which receives the meat chip is provided in the downward direction of the rotary blade 14 so that attachment or detachment is possible. A scattering prevention wall 39 is provided at the rear portion of the chip receiving tray 38 (on the rear side of the rotary blade 14) to prevent the meat chips from scattering.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a tray restricting means 40 is provided at a predetermined position of the table 12 so as to surround the arrangement space of the chip receiving tray 38, and the position of the chip receiving tray 38 is set by these tray receiving means 40. By restricting, the positional deviation of the chip receiving tray 38 due to vibration or the like is prevented.
[0022]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a reciprocating drive mechanism 41 for reciprocating the meat box 16 in a direction substantially parallel to the rotary blade 14 (direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3) is disposed below the table 12. And is assembled to the gantry 11. A driving pulley 43 is connected to a rotating shaft of a motor 42 (see FIG. 2) which is a driving source of the reciprocating driving mechanism 41. The driving pulley 43 and a driven pulley 45 connected to an input shaft of the speed reducer 44 are connected to each other. A belt 46 is stretched between them. Further, a crank 47 is attached to the output shaft of the speed reducer 44. Thereby, the rotational force of the motor 42 is transmitted to the crank 47 via the speed reducer 44, and the crank 47 rotates.
[0023]
On the other hand, on the side of the speed reducer 44, two slide shafts 48 are provided so as to extend in a direction substantially parallel to the rotary blade 14, and a slide metal 49 is supported on the slide shafts 48 so as to be slidable. . A connecting rod 51 is spanned between the joint 50 fixed to the center portion of the slide metal 49 and the crank 47, and both ends of the connecting rod 51 are jointed via rotating shafts 52 and 53, respectively. 50 and the tip of the crank 47 are connected. Further, the meat box 16 is connected to the upper end portion of the slide metal 49 via a maintenance moving mechanism 55 described later. As a result, the rotational movement of the crank 47 is converted into the reciprocating movement of the slide metal 49 via the connecting rod 51, and the meat box 16 is integrated with the slide metal 49 in a direction substantially parallel to the rotary blade 14 (indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3). Reciprocate in the direction shown).
[0024]
A balance weight 54 for reducing vibration is attached to the end of the output shaft of the speed reducer 44 on the opposite side to the attachment side of the crank 47. The balance weight 54 is eccentrically arranged so as to move in the opposite direction to the meat box 16. As a result, when the meat box 16 moves to the rotary blade 14 side, the balance weight 54 moves to the abutting plate 20 side as viewed from the axis, and when the meat box 16 moves to the abutting plate 20 side, the balance weight 54 54 moves to the rotary blade 14 side when viewed from the axial center thereof.
[0025]
Next, the maintenance moving mechanism 55 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a joint 56 is fastened and fixed to the upper end portion of the slide metal 49 with a bolt 57 (see FIG. 7), and a meat box bearing shaft 58 extending in the axial direction of the rotary blade 14 is attached to the joint 56. The bolt 59 is fastened and fixed. A cylindrical slide member 60 is inserted into and supported by the meat box receiving shaft 58 so as to be slidable. The meat box 16 is fixed to the upper end portion of the slide member 60. Thereby, the meat box 16 is provided so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the rotary blade 14 (direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1) along the meat box receiving shaft 58, and the slice in which the meat box 16 is brought close to the rotary blade 14. It is possible to move between the work position (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) and the maintenance work position (see the solid line in FIG. 1) away from the rotary blade 14. When the meat box 16 is moved to the maintenance work position, the maintenance work space around the rotary blade 14 can be widened. Further, stopper plates 61 and 62 for restricting the sliding range of the slide member 60 (the meat box 16) are attached to both ends of the meat box receiving shaft 58, respectively.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 7, resin bushes 63 are fitted in the inner peripheral portions of both ends of the slide member 60. A lock shaft 64 for locking the slide movement of the slide member 60 is rotatably provided at the lower center portion of the slide member 60. The lock shaft 64 has a substantially D-shaped cross section and is disposed so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the meat box receiving shaft 58. A lock lever 65 for operating the lock shaft 64 is provided at the end of the lock shaft 64 so as to be integrally rotatable. Further, the meat box receiving shaft 58 has a position where the lock shaft 64 of the slide member 60 faces when the slide member 60 is brought into contact with the stopper plate 61 (when the meat box 16 is moved to the slicing operation position). A lock groove 66 that matches the outer diameter of the lock shaft 64 is formed.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the lock lever 65 is moved in a state where the meat box 16 is moved to the slicing operation position and the slide member 60 is set to the lock position (position where the lock shaft 64 and the lock groove 66 face each other). When rotating in the locking direction (clockwise in FIG. 7), the lock shaft 64 rotates in the lock direction, and a part of the lock shaft 64 protrudes toward the inner diameter side of the slide member 60, so that the meat box receiving shaft 58 Fit into the lock groove 66. Thereby, the slide member 60 is locked in the locking position, and the meat box 16 is locked in the slicing operation position.
[0028]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the lock lever 65 is rotated in the unlocking direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 7), the lock shaft 64 is rotated in the unlocking direction, and the lock shaft 64 is rotated. Is housed on the slide member 60 side. Accordingly, the lock of the slide member 60 is released and the slide member 60 can be slid, so that the meat box 16 can move between the slicing work position and the maintenance work position.
[0029]
In this embodiment, a sensor (not shown) for detecting whether or not the meat box 16 is set at the slicing work position is provided, and when the meat box 16 is not set at the slicing work position, Judgment is made and driving of the drive motor 29 of the rotary blade 14 and the drive motor 42 of the meat box 16 is prohibited. Whether the meat box 16 is set at the slicing work position may be determined by directly detecting whether the meat box 16 has been moved to the slicing work position. You may make it determine by detecting whether the member 60 has moved to the lock position. Alternatively, it may be determined by detecting whether or not the lock lever 65 is rotated in the locked state.
[0030]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the connection part of the joint 56 and the meat box bearing 58 is comprised as follows. A small diameter shaft portion 58a is provided at the right end portion of the meat box receiving shaft 58, and a stopper plate 61 is fitted to the small diameter shaft portion 58a. The small-diameter shaft portion 58 a of the meat box receiving shaft 58 is inserted into the shaft support hole 67 formed in the joint 56 from the left side, and the connecting plate 68 penetrates to the right peripheral portion of the shaft support hole 67. The meat box receiving shaft 58 is fixed to the joint 56 by inserting the bolt 59 into the hole from the right side and tightening it into the screw hole of the small diameter shaft portion 58 a.
[0031]
A plurality of screw holes 69 are formed around the shaft support hole 67 of the joint 56, and an adjusting bolt 70 such as a hexagon socket head bolt is screwed into each screw hole 69. The front ends of the adjusting bolts 70 protrude from the left side surface of the joint 56 and abut against the recess 71 of the stopper plate 61. Thereby, the insertion amount with respect to the joint 56 of the small diameter shaft part 58a of the meat box receiving shaft 58 is regulated.
[0032]
Accordingly, if the adjusting bolt 70 is rotated when the bolt 59 is loosened to change the amount of protrusion of the adjusting bolt 70 from the left side of the joint 56, the shaft of the meat box bearing shaft 58 with respect to the joint 56 when the bolt 59 is tightened. The direction position can be changed. Since the joint 56 and the rotary blade 14 are both assembled to the gantry 11, when the axial position of the meat box receiving shaft 58 with respect to the joint 56 changes, the axial position of the meat box receiving shaft 58 with respect to the rotating blade 14 changes. Thus, the slicing operation position of the meat box 16 with respect to the rotary blade 14 (the lock position of the slide member 60) also changes. For this reason, if the protrusion amount of the adjustment bolt 70 is adjusted, the clearance t (see FIG. 1) between the meat box 16 and the rotary blade 14 when the meat box 16 is set at the slicing operation position can be adjusted. . In this case, the adjusting bolt 70 plays a role corresponding to the gap adjusting means in the claims.
[0033]
In the meat slicer configured as described above, when slicing the meat chunk 15, first, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the meat box 16 is moved to the slicing work position and brought close to the rotary blade 14 Then, the lock lever 65 is turned in the locking direction to lock the meat box 16 at the slicing position. Thereafter, the meat block 15 is set in the meat box 16, the meat block 15 is sandwiched between the meat feed conveyor 17 and the meat feed roller 18, and then the rotary blade 14 is driven to rotate and the reciprocating drive mechanism 41 is used. The meat box 16 is reciprocated in a direction substantially parallel to the rotary blade 14 (direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3). At this time, each time the meat box 16 moves to the contact plate 20 side, the meat feed conveyor 17 and the meat feed roller 18 rotate in the meat feed direction, and the meat block 15 in the meat box 16 moves to the right by a predetermined amount. Sent out. Each time the meat box 16 moves to the rotary blade 14 side, the right end portion of the delivered meat block 15 is sliced to a predetermined thickness by the rotary blade 14, and the meat piece 72 (see FIG. 3) is sliced into the rotary blade 14. It is discharged to the right side.
[0034]
On the other hand, when performing maintenance work such as cleaning work around the rotary knife 14 and replacement work of the rotary knife 14, the meat box 16 is moved to the maintenance work position as shown by the solid line in FIG. By moving away from 14, the maintenance work space around the rotary blade 14 is widened. Thereby, the meat box 16 does not interfere with the maintenance work, and the cleaning work around the rotary cutter 14 and the replacement work of the rotary knife 14 can be easily performed, and the efficiency of the maintenance work can be improved. In addition, since the maintenance work space around the rotary blade 14 is wide, it is possible to prevent a hand or a finger from accidentally contacting the rotary blade 14 during the maintenance work, and safety can be improved.
[0035]
In the present embodiment, the meat box 16 is sliced by changing the axial position of the meat box receiving shaft 58 with respect to the joint 56 by adjusting the protruding amount of the adjustment bolt 70 from the left side surface of the joint 56. Since the gap t (see FIG. 1) between the meat box 16 and the rotary blade 14 when set to the meat box 16 is adjusted, the position of the rotary blade 14 (the blade shaft 26) is fixed and the meat box 16 and The gap t with the rotary blade 14 can be adjusted. As a result, even if the gap t between the meat box 16 and the rotary cutter 14 is adjusted and kept constant every time the rotary cutter 14 is polished or replaced, the deceleration pulley 30 and the driven for driving the rotary cutter 14 are maintained. The positional relationship with the pulley 36 can always be kept constant, and the durability of the belt 37 spanned between the pulleys 30 and 36 can be improved.
[0036]
Moreover, since the meat slicer of the present invention also moves the maintenance box around the meat box 16 by moving the meat box 16 to the maintenance work position, an adjustment bolt 70 as a gap adjusting means is provided below the meat box 16. Even with this configuration, the gap adjustment work can be easily performed.
[0037]
In addition, the conventional general meat slicer has a structure in which the meat box is disposed on a frame on which the reciprocating drive mechanism for the meat box is assembled. In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive mechanism 41 for the meat box 16 is used. Since the rotary cutter 14 is mounted on the mount 11 on which the reciprocating drive mechanism 41 is assembled, compared with the conventional configuration in which the rotary cutter is mounted at the corners and sides of the mount. Thus, the degree of freedom in designing around the rotary blade can be increased. For this reason, the space | interval of the cutter stand 13 and the rotary cutter 14 can be set comparatively large, and a vacant space can be taken around rotary cutter 14, and the cleaning work of the rotary cutter 14 periphery and the exchange work of the rotary cutter 14 can be carried out. Workability can be further improved.
[0038]
In addition, in the present embodiment, since the space between the blade mount 13 and the rotary blade 14 is increased, a large chip receiving tray 38 for receiving meat chips is disposed detachably immediately below the rotary blade 14. Chips of meat that fall below the rotary blade 14 can be received by the chip tray 38, and at the time of cleaning, the chip tray 38 can be removed to process the chips in the chip tray 38, further cleaning work. Can be simple. Moreover, since the maintenance work space around the rotary blade 4 can be widened by moving the meat box 16 to the maintenance work position, even if a relatively large chip tray 38 is disposed directly under the rotary blade 14, the chip tray 38 can be easily detached.
[0039]
In the present embodiment, when the meat box 16 is not set at the slicing work position, it is determined that the maintenance work is being performed, and the drive motor 29 of the rotary blade 14 and the drive motor 42 of the meat box 16 are prohibited from being driven. Therefore, even if the start switch is erroneously operated during the maintenance work, it is possible to prevent the rotary blade 14 and the meat box 16 from operating, and the safety can be further improved.
[0040]
In the above embodiment, the meat box 16 is provided so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the rotary blade 14 so that it can be moved between the slicing work position and the maintenance work position. The movement method between the work positions is not limited to this. For example, the meat box 16 is provided so as to be rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis so as to rotate between the slice work position and the maintenance work position. However, it may be changed as appropriate.
[0041]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, it was set as the structure which moves the meat box 16 side and adjusts the clearance gap between the meat box 16 and the rotary blade 14, However, The rotary blade 14 side is moved and the meat box 16 and the rotary blade 14 are moved. It is good also as a structure which adjusts a clearance gap, and it is good also as a structure which has arrange | positioned the reciprocating drive mechanism 41 below the meat box 16 instead of setting it as the structure which arrange | positioned the reciprocating drive mechanism 41 below the rotary blade 14 side. Even in this case, the intended object of the present invention can be achieved.
[0042]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although this invention was applied to the meat slicer of the right hand operation type which arrange | positions the meat box 16 on the left side of the rotary blade 14, and discharge | emits the slice 70 sliced on the right side of the rotary blade 14. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to a left-handed-type meat slicer in which a meat box is disposed on the right side of the rotary cutter and the sliced meat is discharged on the left side of the rotary cutter.
[0043]
In addition, the present invention can be implemented with various changes without departing from the gist, such as omitting the chip tray 38 or appropriately changing the configuration of each mechanism.
