Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a food slicer of a type in which meat chunks delivered at a predetermined delivery amount are continuously cut out by a rotating round blade while rotating to obtain slice pieces and other products.

  While rotating the round blade, the meat box holding the meat chunk is reciprocated toward the round blade, and the meat chunk sent out from the meat box with a predetermined feed amount is continuously cut by the rotating round blade, Many food slicers for obtaining other products have existed in the past, and many of them have scrapers (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

In this type of slicer, the meat box that holds the meat chunks reciprocates at a considerable speed, and the meat chunks in the meat box contact one side of the rotating round blade each time they reciprocate, cake, so gravy, is cut debris adheres across one side of the round blade, has the scraper is mounted to get rid of them.

Further, a slicer for use jewels blade, meat cake adhering to the blade was in contact with the front side or back side of the plane of rotation of the jewels blade, gravy, would also be present with a scraper to remove the switching debris (e.g., Patent Document 4).

  However, a food slicer that continuously cuts off a meat lump delivered at a predetermined delivery amount with a round blade that revolves while rotating to obtain a sliced piece or other product does not include the scraper (for example, Patent Documents). 5-7).

Although this type of food slicer is capable of high speed operation, than in the case of the two kinds of the slicer, meat meal, meat juice, switching chips are also known to easily deposited across the entire surface of revolution round blade.
However, as described above, since this type of food slicer is not provided with a creper, conventionally, an operator has to stop the slicer and wipe the rotating surface of the round blade. .

  An example of the food slicer according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As an example, the food slicer S shown in the drawings is of a type in which a meat lump such as meat or fish that is fed at a predetermined feed amount is continuously cut with a round blade that revolves in one direction while rotating, and in particular, frozen meat It is suitable for slicing a hard meat block such as

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the food slicer S is provided with a meat box 1 that is inclined downward, and a meat block (not shown) is loaded in the meat box 1 and is inclined downward. It is delivered from the front end of the meat box 1 by a predetermined delivery amount by the conveyor 1a. Meat chunks (not shown) fed from the front end portion of the meat box 1 with a predetermined feed amount are continuously rotated at high speed and continuously with the round blade 2 revolving along the front end surface of the meat box 1 in one direction. Cutting off, slicing pieces and other products (not shown) can be obtained.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the cover 1b of the meat box 1 and the cover 2b of the blade frame 2a are opened. As can be seen from this figure, a horizontal conveyor 3 and a weighing machine 4 for receiving and transporting sliced pieces and other products (not shown) continuously cut off by the round blade 2 on the conveyor 1a having a downward slope. And are arranged. The slice piece and other products carried out by the horizontal conveyor 3 are weighed by the weighing machine 4 and compared with the weight inputted to the food slicer S, and the computer based on the information. By the control, it is possible to continuously obtain slice pieces of constant weight with high accuracy of the thickness of the meat (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-284669). However, since it is not a particularly important element, description thereof is omitted here.

  The blade frame 2a is also tilted forward in correspondence with the meat box 1 having a forward and downward inclination, and a round blade 2 that revolves in one direction while rotating is attached to the blade frame 2a. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the round blade 2 rotates about the axis of rotation 2c in the counterclockwise direction of FIGS. Revolves in one direction of the needle direction. By this operation, a meat block (not shown) such as meat or fish delivered from the meat box 1 with a predetermined delivery amount can be continuously cut off at high speed by the round blade 2 revolving in one direction while rotating. .

The round blade 2 revolving in the trajectory, meat cake adhering in contact with at least one of the plane of rotation of the circular blade 2 to the round blade 2, gravy, scraper 6 to remove the switching chips, further the round blade 2 An air nozzle 7 is disposed toward the scraper 6 on the opposite side of the air gap. For example, the operation in which the round blade 2 rotates in the clockwise direction from the position shown in FIG. 4 about the axis 5a of the rotary arm 5 through the states of FIGS. is there.

  And as shown in FIG. 6, the round blade 2 can stop the revolution intermittently in the scraper 6 vicinity. As a case where the round blade 2 intermittently stops its revolution, for example, a slice piece of one pack or other products can be sliced. As a stop position in this case, when the round blade 2 revolves at the scraper 6, the round blade 2 may stop exactly there, or the scraper 6 may be arranged in some cases. You may make it return to the position of the scraper 6 after the round blade 2 passes the position.

  The state where the round blade 2 intermittently stops its revolution near the scraper 6 is shown in detail in FIGS. In FIG. 7, a state in which the scraper 6 is separated from the round blade 2 is shown together with an air nozzle 7 disposed toward the scraper 6. Further, in FIG. 8, the air nozzle 7 disposed toward the scraper 6 in a state where the scraper 6 is in contact with at least one rotating surface of the round blade 2 (the left side surface in FIGS. 7 and 8). Shown with. Further, FIG. 9 shows the state of the scraper 6 as viewed from the side of the rotating surface in contact with the round blade 2, together with the scraper 6 and the air nozzle 7 arranged toward the scraper 6.

Even when the round blade 2 intermittently stops its revolution near the scraper 6, the round blade 2 continues to rotate. Then, the fact that the round blade 2 has intermittently stopped its revolution in the vicinity of the scraper 6 is read by a sensor, for example, and at least one rotating surface of the round blade 2 rotating the scraper 6 (the left surface in FIGS. 7 and 8). To touch. In this way, it is possible to remove the meat scum adhering to the round blade 2, gravy, a switching debris automatically. Thus, not only can prevent meat cake products, gravy, the quality adhered switching debris to decrease, with the thickness of the slices are fixed, sharpness of round blade persists.
The time for which the scraper 6 is in contact with the round blade 2 can be freely set, for example, about 1 second or several seconds.

In this manner, the scraper 6 can be moved toward and away from the rotating round blade 2. In such a case, the meat cake adhering to the round blade 2, gravy, only if you want to remove the switching chips, 8 a scraper 6, by contact with the round blade 2, as shown in FIG. 9 round blade meat cake adhering to 2, gravy, can be removed off debris, in which case it is not necessary, it is possible to keep automatically away from the round blade 2 as shown the scraper 6 in FIG. The timing at which the scraper 6 is separated from the round blade 2 is after the time set as the time for which the scraper 6 is in contact with the round blade 2, and can be easily implemented by reading the time with a timer.

The scraper 6 can be brought into and out of contact with the round blade 2 rotating by the air cylinder 8. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the scraper 6 is attached to the tips of a plurality of rods 8a of the air cylinder 8, and when the scraper 6 is separated from the round blade 2 as shown in FIG. The rod 8a protrudes from the air cylinder 8. Conversely, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the scraper 6 is in contact with the rotating surface of the round blade 2, the rod 8 a only protrudes slightly from the air cylinder 8.
Thus, when the scraper 6 is operated by the air cylinder 8, the scraper 6 can be accurately moved to and away from the round blade 2. Reference numeral 8a denotes a feed / exhaust pipe that connects the air cylinder 8 and an air supply source.

It is possible to detect, for example, with a sensor, that the round blade 2 revolving in one direction while rotating is intermittently stopped in the vicinity of the scraper 6, and the air cylinder 8 is operated by reading the signal. The scraper 6 is brought into contact with the round blade 2.
When such is not only can be performed and away operation of the scraper 6 for the round blade 2 more accurately, there is no malfunction meat meal by the scraper 6, gravy, the switching debris removed work.

  Further, after the scraper 6 has been in contact with the rotating round blade 2 for a predetermined time, it can be detected, for example, by a sensor that the scraper 6 has moved away from the round blade 2, and the signal can be detected, for example, by a valve. The round blade 2 can be revolved in one direction again by reading with a sequencer. In such a case, there is no malfunction in the re-revolution operation of the round blade 2.

As described above, the air nozzle 7 is arranged toward the scraper 6, and as shown in FIG. 10, the scraper 6 moves away from the round blade 2, and the round blade 2 revolves again to appear from the vicinity of the scraper 6. The air can be ejected from the air nozzle 7 at the moment of extinguishing. The air which is caused to jet from the air nozzle 7, meat cake removed from the round blade 2, gravy, can be removed by blowing a switching debris from the scraper 6.
Thus, the when jetting air from the air nozzle 7, meat cake which is raked onto the scraper 6, gravy, it is possible to forcibly remove the switching chips (not shown) from the scraper 6, efficiency of the work Can be done well. Reference numeral 7a denotes a delivery pipe that connects the air nozzle 7 and an air supply source.

By repeating the above series of operations, the meat block (not shown) delivered from the meat box 1 with a predetermined delivery amount is continuously cut off at high speed by the round blade 2 that revolves in one direction while rotating. And other products can be obtained continuously. Then, in the meantime, in the scraper 6 at least in contact with one of the plane of rotation of the circular blade 2 can be removed meat cake adhering to the round blade 2, gravy, the switching chips (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the periphery of the scraper 6, meat cake removed from the scraper 6, gravy, are covered with the box 9 for storing the switching chips.
In such a case, since it is possible to store meat cake removed from the scraper 6, gravy, a switching debris box 9, there is no possibility that the vicinity of the soiling, which is advantageous from the hygienic. Accumulated meat meal in box 9, gravy, switching debris (not shown), by opening the cover 9a of the box 9 can be easily removed from the box 9. 4 to 10, the box 9 and its cover 9a are omitted.
