(1) Food Cutting Device FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the food cutting device, FIG. 2 shows the front of the food cutting device, and FIG. 3 shows the side of the food cutting device. The base 1 (base body) has a cubic frame shape and is close to the shape of a desk. Four or more support wheels 2... Are supported on the upper surface of the base 1 so as to be rotationally driven in two or three rows.

  The outer peripheral side surface of each of the support wheels 2 is recessed in an annular shape at the center, and the convex edge of the lower edge of the rail 3 having a triangular cross section is brought into contact with the recess, whereby the moving direction of the rails 3 is long. Regulated in one direction along the direction. The rails 3 are provided in two or three rows corresponding to the two or three rows of support wheels 2.

  A plate-shaped regulation table 4 (regulator) is fixed on the rails 3... The regulation table 4 can be slid / moved only in the arrangement direction of the support wheels 2 and the longitudinal direction of the rails 3. It is regulated as follows. Support plates protrude from the front and rear edges of the upper surface of the base 1, and a screw rod 5 (change mechanism) is horizontally supported between the pair of support plates so as to be rotatable.

  A male screw is formed on the outer surface of the central portion between the support plates of the screw rod 5. A female screw portion 6 (change mechanism) projects from the lower surface of the center of the regulation base 4, and this female screw portion 6 is screwed in the vicinity of the center of the screw rod 5, and the screw rod 5 rotates on the central axis. When spinning as an axis, the internal thread portion 6 and the restriction base 4 slide / moves along the longitudinal direction of the screw rod 5 and the longitudinal direction of the base 1.

  The front edge, the rear edge, the left edge, and the right edge of the horizontal plate-shaped regulation table 4 are bent downward in the vertical direction, and the front edge and the rear edge of the screw rod 5 are located at the center of the front edge and the rear edge. Are supported so as to be able to rotate. A change handle 7 (change mechanism) is fixed to the front end of the screw rod 5, and by rotating the change handle 7, the regulation base 4 slides along the longitudinal direction of the screw rod 5 and the longitudinal direction of the base 1. Moving.

  Two bearing portions 11 and 11 (drive rolling mechanism) are fixed on the base 1 and on the rear side of the regulation table 4, and a shaft 12 (drive mechanism) is fixed to the two bearing portions 11 and 11. ) Is supported so as to be able to rotate, and the front end of the shaft 12 protrudes above the regulation base 4, and a thin disk-shaped rotary cutting blade 13 (cutting mechanism) is 1 near the front end of the shaft 12. One fixed and supported.

  A ring-shaped change shaft collar 14 (change mechanism) is changed and fixed to an arbitrary position of the shaft 12 by a set screw on the shaft 12 adjacent to the rotary cutting blade 13. The rotary cutting blade 13 is fixed to one surface of the change shaft collar 14 by a plurality of bolts and nuts. These bolts and nuts penetrate the change shaft collar 14 and the rotary cutting blade 13.

  A pulley 15 (drive mechanism) is fixed to the rear end of the shaft 12. A motor 16 (drive mechanism) is fixed and supported below the base 1, and a pulley 17 (drive mechanism) is also fixed to the shaft of the motor 16, and a belt 18 is attached to the pulley 15 and the pulley 17. (Drive mechanism) is bridged, and the rotational cutting blade 13 is rotationally driven by the drive of the motor 16 and is driven in a direction substantially perpendicular to the moving direction of the food F, so that the rotational cutting blade 13 is driven. The food F such as rice cake is cut from a direction substantially orthogonal to the food F by being rotationally driven in the same direction as the plate-like plate surface, that is, the cut surface.

  The lower edge of the rotary cutting blade 13 is positioned on the plate-shaped regulation table 4, and the regulation table 4 is disposed on the base 1. The rear edge of the regulation table 4 is erected in the vertical direction to form a regulation surface 21 (regulation body). The regulating surface 21 is parallel to the rotational drive direction of the rotary cutting blade 13, that is, the cutting surface.

  A smooth thin sheet for reducing friction with a sliding object is bonded to the upper surface of the regulation table 4, or many small holes are formed, and air is sent from below by a blower or the like. Friction with objects that slide on is greatly reduced.

  A rectangular plate-shaped moving plate 22 (moving body) is placed on the regulating table 4 so as to be slidable / movable. When the end edge, that is, the rear edge of the moving plate 22 moves while abutting against the regulating surface 21, the moving direction of the moving plate 22 becomes parallel to the rotating direction of the rotary cutting blade 13, that is, the cutting surface. 1 can also be moved. On the moving plate 22, a food F such as rice cake to be cut is placed.

  On the upper surface of the rear edge of the moving plate 22, a square plate-like rod-like aligning rod 23 (alignment body) is fixed. The aligning bar 23 slides / moves integrally with the moving plate 22, and the end of the food F such as the basket comes into contact with the lateral surface / front surface of the aligning bar 23. The rotational cutting direction of the dynamic cutting blade 13 is aligned in parallel with the cutting surface.

  As a result, the end of the food F such as candy is brought into contact with the aligning rod 23, and the food F such as candy is placed on the moving plate 22 while the rear edge / back edge of the moving plate 22 is in contact with the regulating surface 21. When the movable plate 22 is moved on the board, the food F such as candy is cut with the same width by the rotational drive of the rotary cutting blade 13. The direction of the moving plate 22 may be changed by 90 degrees or 180 degrees, and the fixing position of the aligning rod 23 may be changed accordingly. Accordingly, the moving plate 22 can be used for a long time.

  Since the aligning bar 23 that comes into contact with the food F such as the bowl moves together with the moving plate 22 and the food F such as the bowl, only the one end of the food F such as the bowl is applied. The brake is applied by rubbing on the contact surface, and the cutting direction of food F such as ridges is not bent and can be cut straight. If the moving plate 22 and the aligning rod 23 are not provided, and the end surface of the food F such as the candy is brought into contact with the regulation surface 21, the brake is applied by rubbing against the contact surface, and the cutting direction of the food F such as the candy is bent. End up.

  When the food F such as candy is cut to the end, the cut food F such as candy is moved from the top of the moving plate 22 to another location, and the cut surface of the food F such as candy is aligned with the rod 23. When the moving plate 22 is moved by operating in the same manner again, the food F such as rice cake can be cut with the same width.

  If one or a plurality of foods F such as rice cakes cut in the same width in this way are collected, this time, the direction is changed to 90 degrees / right angle, and the same operation is performed again to move the moving plate 22. The food F such as rice cake can be cut into a square shape having the same dimensions. When collecting a plurality of these, they may be arranged in a line along the alignment bar 23 or may be stacked vertically.

  At this time, as will be described below, if the distance between the regulating surface 21 and the rotary cutting blade 13 is changed, the food F such as a bowl can be cut into a rectangular shape having the same dimensions. Such food F such as rice cake is usually a large rectangular plate or a square plate, and is cut in parallel in two directions orthogonal to each other. The food F such as rice cake may be three-dimensional instead of plate-shaped, and in this case, the food F is cut in parallel in three or four directions orthogonal to each other.

(2) Changing mechanism FIG. 4 shows a changing mechanism of the central longitudinal section of the food cutting device. In order to change the cutting width of the food F such as the candy, the change handle 7 is turned in one direction, for example, to the right. Thereby, the screw rod 5 rotates and the internal thread part 6, the restriction stand 4, and the restriction surface 21 move in the forward direction. As a result, the moving plate 22 and the aligning rod 23 also move in the forward direction, the moving plate 22 and the aligning rod 23 approach the rotating cutting blade 13, and the cutting width of the food F such as rice cake is reduced.

  When the change handle 7 is turned in the reverse direction, the cutting width of the food F such as the candy increases. As described above, the regulation table 4 and the regulation surface 21 are moved and changed with respect to the rotary cutting blade 13 and the base 1, and as a result, the moving plate 22 and the alignment bar 23 are moved, The cutting width of the food F is arbitrarily changed. Such a change may not be made depending on circumstances.

  Further, when the set screw is loosened, the change shaft collar 14 is slid / moved with respect to the shaft 12 together with the rotary cutting blade 13, and the set screw is tightened again, the rotary cutting blade 13 is moved relative to the shaft 12. Can be fixed by sliding / moving to any position.

  Thus, the rotary cutting blade 13 is slid / moved to an arbitrary position with respect to the base 1, the regulation base 4, the regulation surface 21, the movable plate 22 and the alignment bar 23, and as a result, the movable plate 22 is changed. And the alignment stick | rod 23 moves and the cutting width | variety of foodstuffs F, such as a bowl, is changed arbitrarily. Such a change may not be made depending on circumstances.

  In this way, the cutting width of the food F such as the candy can be arbitrarily changed simply by turning the change handle 7, and the work of changing all the intervals of the plurality of rotary cutting blades 13 becomes unnecessary. This is an effect unique to the present invention in which only one rotary cutting blade 13 is provided. This is a novel one that has been noticed by those skilled in the art.

(3) Cover Body FIG. 5 shows a cover cover (cover body). A transparent resin cover 31 is attached to the rotary cutting blade 13 and the change shaft collar 14 of the shaft 12. This cover cover 31 has a semicircular plate shape, and includes two semicircular front and rear plates 32 and 32 and a belt-like peripheral plate 33 that connects them. Between the two front and rear plates 32, 32, the rotary cutting blade 13 and the change shaft collar 14 are arranged.

  In the lower center of the two front and rear plates 32, 32, concave portions 34, 34 that are recessed upward are formed. The shaft 12 is housed and penetrated through the concave portions 34, 34, and the cover cover 31 is attached to the shaft 12. It is supported so that it can swing. The lower surface of the cover cover 31 is substantially flat, and there is a gap between the restriction table 4 and the moving plate 22. The food F such as rice cakes to be cut passes through this gap. As a result, the cover 31 is provided in a portion where the food F such as the candy around the rotary cutting blade 13 does not pass.

  Since the shaft 12 is accommodated in the recesses 34 and 34 and is riding on the shaft 12, the cover cover 31 can be easily lifted and opened and closed with respect to the rotary cutting blade 13. It can be slid / moved along the shaft 12. When the rotary cutting blade 13 and the change shaft collar 14 are slid / moved with respect to the shaft 12, the cover cover 31 is also slid / moved along the shaft 12.

  2 on the left side of the covering cover 31, that is, the lower side of FIGS. 2 and 5, and on the outer side of the front and rear plates 32, 32 on the side opposite to the side on which food F such as rice cake comes out. Magnets 36, 36 are fixed to the edges, and a metal ruler 37 made of a ferromagnetic material is detachably attached to the lower surface of the magnets 36, 36. The ruler 37 is attached to the rotary cutting blade 13. It can move in a direction perpendicular to the cut surface.

  The rear end / rear end of the ruler 37 is a straight end surface orthogonal to the ruler 37, and this end surface is brought into contact with the regulation surface 21 of the regulation table 4 and the alignment bar 23 of the movable plate 22. When the end surface of the ruler 37 is brought into contact with the front surface / inner surface of the aligning rod 23, the rear surface / rear surface of the rotary cutting blade 13 is flat and the surface of the ruler 37 is in a position where the surface appears to be linear. The scale is the cutting width of the food F such as the above-mentioned rice cake.

  As a result, the cutting width of the food F such as rice cake is measured, and the change handle 7 is turned while observing the measurement value of the ruler 37 to accurately adjust the regulation table 4 and the moving plate 22, and the like. The cutting width of the food F can be adjusted accurately.

  Due to the weights of the magnets 36 and 36 and the ruler 37, the cover cover 31 rotates around the shaft 12 and swings, and the lower surface of the ruler 37 comes into contact with the restriction table 4 or the moving plate 22, and the cover cover 31. The right side of FIG. 2, that is, the upper side of FIGS. As a result, there is a gap between the lower side of the cover cover 31 and the upper side of the moving plate 22 or the regulation table 4, and this gap is inclined more greatly than the side from which the side where the food F such as the moving straw enters enters. ing.

  Thereby, when the food F such as the candy and the moving plate 22 move and enter under the rotary cutting blade 13, the cover cover 31 does not get in the way. And as food F, such as rice cake, enters, the clearance gap with the said moving body on the side where the said moving food F comes out becomes large gradually. Thereby, under the cover cover 31, food F, such as the movement board 22 and a candy, can pass, being cut | disconnected smoothly.

  Since the lower surface of the cover cover 31 has no irregularities and is smooth, the food F such as candy and the moving plate 22 can smoothly pass under the rotary cutting blade 13. The lower surface of the cover cover 31 near the magnets 36 and 36 and the ruler 37 is inclined with respect to the other lower surface of the cover cover 31, and when the ruler 37 comes into contact with the upper surface of the regulation table 4 or the movable plate 22, The lower surface of the ruler 37 can be brought into contact with the upper surface of the moving plate 22 or the regulation table 4 without a gap.

  Thereby, when adjusting the cutting width | variety of foodstuffs F, such as rice cake, the ruler 37 is stabilized and the cutting width | variety of foodstuffs F, such as rice cake, can be adjusted correctly. At this time, the lower surface of the ruler 37 may be inclined with respect to the upper surface of the movable plate 22 or the regulation table 4.

  A magnet may be provided outside the front and rear plates 32 on the front side of the cover cover 31, and the front and rear plates 32 on the front side of the cover cover 31 may be sandwiched between the magnet and the change shaft collar 14. Thereby, the cover cover 31 can be fixed to the shaft 12. In the drawing apparatus, for the sake of easy understanding, the cover and the like are omitted, and safety is maintained.
