  Examples of long foods include, for example, long fresh vegetable foods such as beef meal, ginseng, pepper, bitter melon, radish, long pepper, asparagus, celery, etc. There is a long vegetable processed food. In addition, as a long processed meat food, for example, cooked sausage, pressure-heated sausage, semi-dried sausage, dry sausage, Frankfurt sausage, Wiener sausage, Riona sausage whose quality labeling standards are defined in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Notification No. 1821 In addition to various sausages such as liver sausages and various mixed sausages, there are, for example, meat (condiment) dried foods such as long shaped beef jerky, pork jerky, salmon jerky, and salmon jerky. Such long foods, including processed intermediate products before final processing, are often bent or bent like a bow in the length direction even when placed on a plate. In the case of using a food cutting machine such as Patent Document 1 that cuts long foods so as to move and press the long foods toward the valley of the bucket while cutting with a rotary saw blade without fixing In addition, the food cut surface may be distorted or the accuracy of food cut dimensions may be reduced.

  In addition, for example, long fresh vegetable foods such as beef bowl, long vegetable processed foods such as dried ginseng, semi-dry sausage or dry sausage such as soft salami sausage or salami sausage, meat such as salmon roe In order to cut slightly hard long foods such as seasoned dry foods, it is necessary to use a rotary saw blade, which has a problem of decreasing the yield in the cutting process. And not only the mechanism which supplies a long food one by one with respect to the bucket which carries and moves using a stopper, a food supply arm, etc. like patent documents 1, but a mechanism which automatically supplies food to be cut to a conveyance bucket Even if it has a large number of situations, it may occur frequently that the automatic supply operation has to be stopped due to the morphological features of the long food as described above, so an inefficient automatic supply mechanism It is often supplied manually without using. In addition, cut foods include chips, shards, etc., and these are generally manually selected for cutting foods that meet the standards. Workers are required, and each worker is burdensome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to accurately and efficiently convert a long food containing a food raw material, processed food intermediate material, etc. to a predetermined length. It can be cut, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator when manually inserting the long cut food into the apparatus, placing it, and sorting the cut food. It is to provide a size cutting device.

  According to the fixed-size cutting device according to the present invention, the long to-be-cut food placed on the upper surface of the placing device of the conveying means inclined upward is pressed against two surfaces in the placing device by gravity, Since it becomes the state fixed without requiring a separate cut food fixing means, bending, bending, etc. of the long cut food itself are corrected and it approaches a straight line. When multiple foods to be cut are placed on each mounting device, the weight of the overlapping foods to be cut is added, and is more strongly supported on both the protrusion and bottom surface of the mounting device body part. Become. In this way, since the food to be cut is cut in a state in which bending, bending, etc. are corrected and brought close to a straight line, the size and weight accuracy and quality of the fixed-size cut can be improved. In addition, it is not necessary to rotate the cutting blade while pressing the food to be cut toward the bottom side of the mounting device, and moving it toward the protrusion of the mounting device body part, so the cutting blade can be freely rotated. It is possible to have a simple structure that can be fixed or fixed. Furthermore, it is possible to use a cutting blade having a shape other than a circle, and the degree of freedom of the device configuration is increased. And since the conveyance means was inclined upwards and the position of the shooter was made high, the cut food can be directly connected to the sorting table which is a subsequent apparatus. Therefore, transportation using food containers can be eliminated. In addition, since it is not necessary to increase the height of the fixed-size cutting device, there is no need to increase the length of the long food input part and make it difficult to work. The height of the sorting table can be set to an appropriate height for standing work.

  In addition, when bottom outlets are provided at the bottom of the left and right sides of the shooter to expel the left and right cut pieces of cut food, the effort to remove the cut pieces after the cut food is put into the sorting table is reduced. Can do. Furthermore, when the placing device main body parts having a substantially L-shaped cross section are arranged facing each other as the placing device for the conveying means, the placing device can be widened to place a long food. It's easy to do. In addition, since the two L-shaped mounting device main body parts are separated at the turning point of the transporting device, the transporting device can be made smaller than when a concave mounting device body part that does not separate the central portion of the mounting device is used. Can be And when a shielding plate is provided between the mounting body main parts forming the mounting device of the transporting means, the mounting body main parts are separated from each other at the central portion at the upper end folding point of the transporting means, and there is a gap. Even if it can, since the shielding plate blocks the gap, the cut food does not enter the inside of the conveying means. Since the conveying means is inclined upward, it is effective as a countermeasure against a gap at the turn-back point.

  Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the fixed-size cutting device by this invention is described in detail with reference to drawings.

  The fixed-size cutting apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a conveying unit 10 having a plurality of placement units 11 that are placed so that the length direction of the long cut food 30 is substantially orthogonal to the conveying direction, and the conveying unit. 10 includes a plurality of cutting blades 3a for cutting the food to be cut 30 to a predetermined length, and a shooter 4 provided near the rear end of the conveying means 10, and the conveying means 10 is conveyed in the conveying direction during upper surface conveyance ( It is provided so as to incline upward from the front end side (to the conveying means 10) toward the rear end side (FIGS. 1 to 4, FIGS. 11 to 12). As the long cut food 30, as described above, long fresh vegetable foods, long vegetable processed foods, various sausages and various mixed sausages, and long-shaped meat (seasoned) dried It is possible to target all long foods that are cut into a predetermined length, such as long processed meat foods including foods, and further processed intermediate products before final processing in these long processed foods. The conveying means 10 can be configured to include a plurality of placement devices 11 and a conveyor 15, and the placement device 11 is a placement device on which a long cut food 30 is directly placed. The main body part 12 and the mounting device main body part attaching means 13 for attaching the mounting device main body part 12 to the conveyor 15 can be configured. Here, as the conveying means 10, the mounting device 11 or the mounting device main body part 12 can be integrally formed on the surface of the conveyor 15. It is preferable to configure the table 11 separately.

  As the conveyor 15, for example, any drive type conveyor in which a motor is provided on a drive shaft or a motor is provided separately and is conveyed continuously or intermittently by a drive chain, a drive belt, or the like can be used. As for the form of its own conveyance surface, any plane shape, structure, and material may be used as long as the mounting device 11 (or only the mounting device main body part 12) can be attached. For example, a flat belt-like conveyor such as a general belt conveyor can be suitably used in addition to a conveyor having a net shape, ladder shape, lattice shape, or other planar shape or structure made of metal or plastic. Moreover, as mounting device main body part attachment means 13, any mounting means can be used as long as mounting device main body part 12 can be attached to a conveyor. For example, an attachment means (not shown) such as an adhesive or a screw for directly fixing the mounting device main body part 12 to the surface of the conveyor 15 may be used, but the versatility of the apparatus (easily applicable to various types of food to be cut) In addition, in the aspect of hygiene and prevention of mixing of different kinds of products, the mounting device main body part attaching means 13 that allows the mounting device 11 to be easily attached to and detached from the conveyor 15 is more preferable. As such detachable attachment means, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, it is attached so that one surface is in contact with the lower surface (back surface) of the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting device body part 12. The mounting device main body part attaching means 13 can be configured to include a plate-like portion 13a and an extending attachment portion 13b provided so as to extend from the plate-like portion 13a and detachably attached to the conveyor 15.

  Moreover, as mounting device main-body part 12 which comprises each mounting device 11, as shown in FIG. 13, (12-1): The bottom face part 12b which has predetermined | prescribed thickness, and the one side edge part of the bottom face part 12b Mounting unit body parts having a substantially L-shaped cross section having a protrusion 12a that is bent and extended substantially at right angles from, or (12-2): a pair of mounting body bodies having a substantially L-shaped cross section so as to form a substantially concave shape in cross section Opposing type mounting device main body part in which the parts 12 are arranged to face each other, or (12-3): a bottom surface portion 12b having a predetermined thickness and a protrusion extending by bending at substantially right angles from both ends of the bottom surface portion 12b. One type can be selected from concave mounting device main body parts formed into a substantially concave shape in cross section having the portions 12a and 12a. When mounting the individual mounting devices 11 including the mounting device main body parts 12 selected in this way to the conveyor 15 of the conveying means 10, for example, the mounting device main body parts (12- 1), a placement device (11-2) comprising a counter-type placement device body part (12-2), and a concave placement device body part (12-3). Any one of the mounting devices 11 (11-3) may be attached to the conveyor 15 so as to be aligned along the transport direction, or a plurality of mounting devices. 11 can also be attached to the conveyor 15 so as to be aligned along the conveying direction. According to the shape and form of the food to be cut 30 and the size of the conveyor 15, it can be determined and attached as appropriate according to the state of arrangement of various mounting devices 11, and the degree of configuration freedom of the entire fixed-size cutting device can be increased. . However, when the three types of mounting devices (11-1 to 11-3) have the same width size, the mounting device (11-2) including the opposing mounting device main body part (12-2). Then, as shown in FIG. 10, when the conveying means is positioned at the folded portion on the front end side and the rear end side, the opposing surfaces of the bottom surface portions 12b and 12b of the paired mounting device main body parts 12 and 12 are opened. Since they are separated from each other, the mounting device (11-1 and 11-3) can be shortened in total length as compared with the conveying means 10 attached to the conveyor 15. The use of 11-2) is preferred.

  11 and 12 show the plate-like portion 13a or the extended mounting portion 13b in the placement device (11-1) including the placement device main body part (12-1) having a substantially L-shaped cross section. As described above, the mounter body part (12−) faces the bottom surface 12b, the protrusion 12a, or the lower surface of the plate-like part 13a in the mounter body part 12 of the mounter 11 that is attached to the conveyor adjacent to the transport direction. 1) A shielding plate 14 extending beyond the width of itself can be provided. When the shielding plate 14 is provided on the mounting device (11-2) composed of the mounting device-opposing type mounting device main body part (12-2), the shielding plate 14 has a pair of substantially cross-section L The plate-like portion 13a or the extended attachment portion 13b attached to the letter-shaped placement device main body part (12-2) is connected to the bottom surface portion 12b of the other placement device main body part (12-2) having a substantially L-shaped cross section. What is necessary is just to attach so that it may extend toward the lower surface side of the plate-shaped part 13a and exceed the width | variety of one mounting device main-body part (12-2) (FIG. 9, FIG. 10). When such a shielding plate 14 is positioned at the turn-up portion on the rear end side of the conveying means, the shielding plate 14 and the end surface of the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting device body part (12-1) of the mounting device (11-1) are transported. A gap that opens apart from the end face of the protrusion 12a of the mounting body main part 12 of the mounting device 11 that is adjacent along the direction, or the bottom surface parts 12b, 12b of the mounting body main parts 12, 12 that form a pair. It is possible to prevent the cut food from falling from the gap by acting to close the gap formed when the opposing surfaces of the two are separated from each other. Instead of providing the shielding plate 14 on the plate-like portion 13a or the extended attachment portion 13b, the shielding plate 14 is directly attached to the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting device main body part 12 itself or the lower surface of the protruding portion 12a, or is directly formed. It may be provided. Moreover, the corner | angular cut part 12d can be formed in the projection part 12a of each mounting device main-body part 12 so that the upper end corner | angular part of the conveyor 15 conveyance direction front end side may be cut diagonally. By forming such a corner cut portion 12d on the mounting device 11, it may be possible to guide the cut food 31 more smoothly and smoothly to the shooter 4 after the fixed-size cut. Further, the corner portion that becomes the boundary between the bottom surface portion 12b and the projection portion 12 of the mounting device body part 12 may be chamfered, for example, like a concave mounting device body part (12-3) (see FIG. 13) It can also be rounded with a diameter suitable for the cross-sectional shape of the cut food 30. Thereby, work such as cleaning and washing of the mounting device 11 may be facilitated even when chips and the like of the food to be cut 30 accumulate in the corners.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, for example, the placement device main body part 12 penetrates the protrusion 12a in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the placement device main body part 12, and the bottom surface portion 12b. A plurality of grooves 12c having a width (W12c) exceeding the thickness of the cutting blade, which is formed so as to be punched from the top surface side at a depth shallower than the thickness of the bottom surface portion 12b, can be provided along the length direction. Here, a plurality of mounting device main body parts having the same cross-sectional shape having a length shorter than the length to cut the food to be cut 30 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor with a gap therebetween. It may be configured to be mounted on a conveyor and support the entire length of the food to be cut by a plurality of mounting devices arranged in this way (not shown), but the mounting and removing work of the mounting device 11 is complicated. In addition, the placer main body part 12 is the point that the cut food 31 containing the cut ends and chips may be spilled from the gaps of the respective placers 11 forming a row or clogged in the gaps. More preferably, the length exceeds the length of the food to be cut, and a plurality of grooves 12c perpendicular to the length direction are provided along the length direction. Such a groove | channel 12 can be provided with two or more so that it may have a fixed space | interval (LS) in the length direction of the mounting body main-body part 12 according to the length dimension which cuts the to-be-cut food 30 by fixed size. In addition, the groove 12c is one side in the length direction of the placement device main body part 12 so that the distance from the end surface 12e in the length direction of the placement device main body part 12 is smaller than the constant space (LS) (LSS). You may provide in an edge part or both ends, and by this, the length of the cut end produced by cutting of the to-be-cut food 30 end part can be reduced, and the yield in a fixed-size cutting process can be improved. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of grooves 12 c are provided so as to have a constant interval (LS) in the length direction of the placement device body part 12, and the length direction of the placement device body part 12. Separately for every predetermined number of grooves, here every five grooves (so as to be the groove interval LL), so that the interval adjacent to each other has a fixed interval (1/2 LS). The groove 12c can be provided. When the mounting device 11 composed of the mounting device body part 12 having such a single groove arrangement configuration is used, only the placement position of the cutting blade is adjusted without replacing the mounting device 11. Therefore, in the case of the mounter main body part 12 having various types of length dimensions, for example, the groove arrangement as shown in FIG. 8, the sizing is cut into five types: LL, LS, 2LS, 3LS, and 4LS. Can do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the placement device 11 has a length direction of the placement device main body part 12 constituting the placement device 11 with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor 15. Arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other. When the placement device 11 is positioned on the upper surface of the conveyor, the placement device 11 is placed on the placement device 11 on the front end side in the transport direction and the placement device 11 on the rear end side in the transport direction, which are adjacent to each other in the transport direction of the conveyor 15. It is attached to the conveyor 15 so that the rear end side surface of the device main body part 12 and the front end side surface of the mounting device main body part 12 come into contact with each other, and the plurality of mounting devices 11 are arranged so as to be aligned along the conveying direction of the conveyor 15. 10 can be configured. When the food to be cut 30 is placed on the placing device 11 of the transporting means 10 configured as described above, the long food placed on the upper surface of each placing device 11 of the transporting means 10 that is inclined upward. Since the cut food 30 is pressed against the both surfaces of the projecting portion 12a and the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting device body part 12 by gravity and is fixed without requiring any separate fixing means, the long cut food 30 The bends and flexures are corrected and approach a straight line. When a plurality of foods 30 to be cut are placed on each mounting device 11, the weights of the food products 30 to be overlapped are added, and the protrusions 12 a and the bottom surface portion 12 b of the mounting device body part 12 are more strongly applied. Will be supported. Further, the angle at which the conveying means 10 is inclined upward may be appropriately determined according to the shape and form of the food to be cut, and is not particularly limited. For example, the angle is preferably 3 degrees or more and 75 degrees or less, preferably 10 degrees. Above, 55 degrees or less is more preferable. If it is less than 3 degrees, depending on the type of the long food, the food to be cut may not be sufficiently pressed and fixed to both the projection part and the bottom part of the mounting device body part. When the food to be cut is placed on the mounting device, part of the food to be cut may fall into the front end side mounting device. In addition, the rear end side surface of the mounting device main body part 12 and the front end side surface of the mounting device main body part 12 in the mounting device 11 on the front end side in the transport direction and the mounting device 11 on the rear end side in the transport direction are respectively matched. It can also be attached to the conveyor 15 so as to be close to each other with a gap less than the maximum width of the thickness or cross-sectional shape of the food to be cut 30, for example, a gap of about 0.1 mm to 10 mm. When aligning the mounting device 11 group including the mounting device (11-1) composed of the mounting device main body part (12-1) having a substantially L-shaped cross section, chips are placed in the mounting device 11 (mounting). From the standpoint of food hygiene, it is preferable that the mounting devices 11 adjacent to each other in the conveying direction are brought into contact with each other.

  In addition, the cutting blade 3a for the conveying means 10 as described above, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 14, the blade portion 3c is present on the surface facing the front end side of the conveying means 10 in the conveying direction. A plurality of sheets can be attached to the cutting blade mounting means 3b extending in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction above the transport means 10 so as to form a row in parallel to the transport direction of the transport means 10. As the cutting blade 3a, for example, a cutting blade 3a having any blade portion 3c such as a flat blade, a round blade, a corrugated blade, and a saw blade can be used. Further, the entire shape of the cutting blade 3a may be formed in a thin plate shape having any overall plane (side plane) shape such as a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. However, a cutting blade having a blade portion other than the saw blade is more preferable in that the amount of chips increases. As the cutting blade mounting means 3b, when the cutting blade 3a is mounted so as to rotate, for example, a rotation driving means such as a motor, a cutting blade mounting rotating shaft directly connected to a rotating shaft of the rotation driving means, and a cutting blade mounting It is composed of a shaft support portion that pivotally supports the rotation shaft, a cutting blade fixing means that fixes the cutting blade to the cutting blade mounting rotation shaft, or a rotation driving means is provided separately, and the rotation driving means is used as the rotation shaft of the rotation driving means. The cutting blade mounting rotary shaft can be configured to rotate via a connecting means such as a chain, belt, or gear that transmits the rotational driving force of the rotational driving means to the cutting blade mounting rotary shaft. (Not shown except that a cutting blade mounting rotation axis is shown as the mounting means 3b).

  However, in the present embodiment, since the conveying means 10 is inclined upward toward the rear end side in the conveying direction, the food to be cut 30 is placed on both surfaces of the protruding portion 12a and the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting device body part 12. The cutting blade 3a is not necessarily rotated because it is fixed so as to come into contact with its own weight, or is supported and fixed on the protrusion 12a and the bottom surface 12b of the mounting body main part 12 so that a plurality of foods 30 to be cut overlap. Thus, it is not necessary to attach to the cutting blade attachment rotating shaft of the cutting blade attachment means 3b. That is, as in the case where the conveying means 10 is horizontally disposed, the food product 30 is pressed against the bottom surface portion 12b of the placement device body part 12 by rotating the cutting blade 3a, and the placement device body part 12 is pressed. This eliminates the need for cutting while moving toward the protrusion 12a. Therefore, it is possible to omit the rotation driving means, the connecting means, etc., which had to be provided separately or as the cutting blade attachment means 3b, and the cutting blade attachment means 3b attaches the cutting blade 3a so as to be freely rotatable or fixedly. It can be a simple structure that is simply installed. In the case of a fixed cutting blade, instead of the cutting blade mounting rotation shaft, for example, a cutting blade mounting rod such as a substantially cylindrical shape, a substantially prismatic shape, or a straight blade, a crank rod, or the like is used as the cutting blade mounting means 3b. It is possible to make a simpler structure. And compared with the case where the conveying means 10 is provided horizontally, it is possible to cut the long cut food 30 with a higher accuracy and to reduce distortion of the cut surface of the cut food. it can.

  Further, as the shooter 4, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the inclined surface 4a that guides the cut food 31 onto the sorting table 25 having a height lower than the rear end height of the conveying means 10. And can be configured. Since the conveying means 10 is inclined upward and the shooter 4 is provided in the vicinity of the rear end in the conveying direction of the conveying means 10, the height for receiving the cut food 31 can be set to a high position. Although the freedom degree which guide | induces to a next process apparatus has improved, when it is made to fall to the sorting stand 25 following a next process from a high position, the cut | disconnected foodstuff 31 may deform | transform and damage. Since it has the inclined surface 4a, it can be safely guided to the top plate 25a of the sorting table 25 having an appropriate height lower than the rear end height of the conveying means 10. In addition, even when the cut food is sorted manually, the sorting table 25 can be set to a height suitable for the work. As shown in FIG. 6, when a large number of punch holes 25b are provided in the top plate 25a of the sorting table 25, the chips of the cut food 31 are automatically dropped onto a cradle 25c below the top plate 25a. In addition, the sorting table 25 can be easily cleaned. Then, the shooter 4 is connected to the width direction end portion side (left side and / or right side) of the shooter 4 corresponding to the length direction of the placing device 11, and the bottom portion outlet 6 through which the cut piece of the cut food 31 is guided, It is also possible to have a central outlet 5 through which cut foods 31 other than those are guided. Thereby, most of the cut pieces of the cut food can be led to, for example, the food container 20 other than the sorting table 25, and thus the load of sorting the cut food 31 guided on the sorting table 20 is reduced. it can. By using the fixed size cutting apparatus as described above, the food to be cut 30 is supplied to the placing device 11 and the cut food 31 is selected, that is, the long cut food 30 is placed on the conveying means 10. Was placed on the inner surface of the container 11 (upper surface of the bottom surface portion 12b of the mounting body main part 12), and placed on the side wall 16 so that the end of the food to be cut 30 was abutted. Even when the operation of removing pieces, chips and the like from the cut food 31 is performed manually, the number of workers and the load on each worker can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, the fixed-size cutting device according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
