A safety razor 300 as a flat blade cutter as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 is inserted into the drum 110 and supported by the cutter support fitting 200 in the rotating drum 110, and only the constricted portion F2 is cut. A chained food cutting device (Patent Document 1) 100 that is separated only into the food main body F1 has been put on the market.
[0003]
Moreover, the cutter support metal fitting 200 of the conventional chain-shaped food cutting device 100 is formed of a male member 210 and a female member 220 as shown in FIGS.
The male member 210 and the female member 220 are each formed of a metal thin plate material, and a mounting portion 230 to the rotating drum 110 formed by bending one end into a substantially L-shaped cross section, and a cutting portion constituting the cutting portion at the other end And is mounted in the rotating drum 110 as follows.
[0004]
That is, first, after the safety razor 300 is locked to the safety razor locking boss 211 of the male member 210, the positioning boss 212 provided on the male member 210 and the safety razor locking boss 211 are female. The male member 210 and the female member 220 are overlapped with each other so that both the fitting portions 230 overlap with each other while being fitted into the positioning holes 221 formed in the member 220.
[0005]
Next, as shown in FIG. 9, is inserted into the bolt insertion holes 240 provided a bolt 120 provided on removable angled cradle into rotary drum 110 (not shown) to the mounting portion 230, the nut The cutter support fitting 200 is fixed to the gantry by screwing 130.
Finally, the gantry is attached to the rotary drum 110 with the cutter support fitting 200 set.
[0006]
By the way, in the case of the above-mentioned chained food cutting device, the inside of the rotating drum 110 must be kept clean for food hygiene. Therefore, it is necessary to wash the cutting part set with the safety razor 300, in which chips, oil, etc. are easily accumulated and bacteria are easily propagated, with daily washing with detergent and sterilizing with hot water.
[0007]
However, since the structure of the cutter support fitting 200 is a structure in which the male member 210 and the female member 220 are overlapped over the whole, it is necessary to remove not only the cutting part but also the whole, and the 1 ton type Since there are 170 to 180 cutter support brackets per unit, the work of disassembling and cleaning every day is very troublesome. Moreover, since it is necessary to hold the overlapping state of the male member 210 and the female member 220 by hand until the bolt 120 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 240 and the nut 130 is completely tightened, workability is poor.
Moreover, since the male member 210 and the female member 220 are formed by bending a metal thin plate material, the outer skin of the food body F1 may be damaged at the edge portions of the male member 210 and the female member 220. At the same time, when used for a long time, the male member 210 and the female member 220 are bent or warped, the gap becomes excessively large, and chips and the like are more likely to accumulate.
