Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an arrangement method for cutting a strip-shaped mince continuously supplied from a chopper or the like into a tray for sale, and improving the apparatus.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional mincing tray mounting method and apparatus.
Patent Document 1 discloses a method and apparatus that cuts a predetermined length while conveying mince continuously extruded from an extrusion port of a chopper and places it on a moving tray below the minch conveying unit. Yes.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, the mince that has been continuously cut is cut into a predetermined length, and then the mince is received on the receiving plate, and then the receiving plate is immersed and supplied downward. An apparatus for dropping and placing in a tray is disclosed.

  In any of the technologies disclosed in any of the above-mentioned patent documents, in practice, strip-shaped mince is usually placed on several types of sales trays of different sizes in the range of about 100 g to 500 g. In order to improve appearance and productivity, cut and arrange to the maximum size that can be accommodated in the tray.

  Mince consumers, on the other hand, tend to purchase and divide and use the products on a low-priced large-capacity tray. In addition, the remaining ones are stored frozen and reused, but it is not easy to subdivide the frozen mince.

  Provided is a method and an apparatus for arranging mince on a tray, which can be easily divided and taken out when the mince arranged on a tray is used in small portions.

In the present invention, the belt-shaped mince continuously supplied is conveyed by a conveyor and positioned above the terminal end of the conveyor and reciprocated perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the mince. was cut into lengths, a said cut minced Sheng with how the minced tray attaching Sheng by dropping in the tray to be continuously supplied to the front lower position of the cutter, the strip of minced Sheng but to minced tray, characterized in that so as to form a cut at predetermined intervals to Sheng attached is minced in the tray over by actuating the cutter before being cut into a predetermined length The above-described object is achieved by the attaching method.

In addition, a conveyor that conveys continuously supplied mince, a plate-like cutter that is positioned above the terminal end of the conveyor and reciprocates perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the mince, and a tray to a lower front position of the cutter was made from the tray supply unit for supplying continuously, a Sheng with apparatus to a predetermined cut every length that with Sheng is dropped into the tray minced tray by said strip of minced the cutter, A mince tray comprising means for operating the cutter so as to form cuts at predetermined intervals in the mince that is stacked in the tray before the strip mince is cut to a predetermined length. It is assumed that the device for filling is used.

  According to the present invention, in the assembling method and apparatus for cutting continuously fed strip-shaped mince for each predetermined dimension with a plate-shaped cutter and placing them on a tray, the mincing is cut until the mince is cut. By operating the cutter, cuts can be easily formed at predetermined intervals.

  In addition, when the consumer uses the mince on the tray in small portions, it can be easily taken out from the cut. This is especially effective for frozen minced mince.

The side view which showed one Example of this invention typically. The perspective view which shows an example of the state where the mince was arranged on the tray which concerns on this invention.

  An embodiment of the device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.

  Although the basic configuration of the present embodiment is well known and will not be described in detail, the strip-shaped mince M continuously supplied from a chopper discharge port (not shown) is in contact with both sides of the mince M and the width of the mince M. By a conveyor 1 that is appropriately driven while being formed into a predetermined cross-sectional shape by a guide plate (not shown) that regulates the pressure and a pressing plate 2 that intermittently presses the upper surface of the mince M with an air cylinder 2a from above the conveyor 1 It is conveyed toward the end of the conveyor 1.

A plate-like cutter 3 that reciprocates perpendicularly to the transport direction of the mince is provided above the end of the conveyor 1. The cutter 3 is attached to the air cylinder 3a and is configured to reciprocate up and down by a control means so as to cut the mince every predetermined length.
A receiving plate 4 for receiving the cut mince is supported by an unillustrated air cylinder or the like so as to be able to move in and out. To serve. The tray 5 is continuously supplied by a supply chain 7 of a tray supply device (not shown) to the cut-off point of the cut mince at the front lower position of the cutter 3.

Next, a method and apparatus for forming cuts 6 and 6 at predetermined intervals on the mince M as shown in FIG.
In the present embodiment, as already known in Patent Document 1 and the like, every time the mince M conveyed by the conveyor 1 is sent out a predetermined length from the cutting position by the cutter 3, the position above the end portion of the conveyor 1 is set. The plate cutter 3 is reciprocated perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the mince M by operating the air cylinder 3a provided in the upper part, and the mince M is cut.

When the cut 6 is formed in the belt-shaped mince M at predetermined intervals before the mince M is cut, the air is supplied every time the mince M is sent out from the cutting position by the cutter 3 at a predetermined interval. By controlling the cylinder 3 a to operate, the plate-like cutter 3 is reciprocated to form a cut 6 in the mince M with the cutter 3.
As the operating means of the air cylinder 3a, the same means as that of the serving device for cutting the already known strip-shaped mince M every predetermined length and placing it on the tray is used. That is, a desired cut position is set instead of the cutting position in the above-described laying apparatus based on the conveying speed of the mince M by the conveyor 1, and the cutter 3 is matched with the timing when the cut position reaches the cutting position by the cutter 3. Is controlled to operate the air cylinder 3 via a solenoid valve (not shown) so as to reciprocate.

In this case, the depth of the cut 6 may be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the operation stroke of the air cylinder 3a. For normal cuts need only reach to the nearest half of a thickness of minced M, but may be cut with a cutter 3 up to near the bottom in the thickness direction of the minced M.

  As described above, the technology according to the present invention forms the cut 6 in the mince M by operating the cutter 3 that cuts the mince M to a predetermined length in the conventional mincing apparatus, at predetermined intervals. Therefore, it can be easily implemented in a conventional sorting apparatus.
