Description

  The present invention relates to a cutting apparatus that cuts an object to be cut using a rotating round blade, and relates to an apparatus that mainly uses the object to be cut as food or meat.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, when a food such as meat is cut with a rotating round blade, an overhanging portion C that protrudes from the end portion 26 on the rotating round blade 3 side of the mounting table 22 to the cutting position A is the rotating round blade 3. Bending and distortion may occur at the time of cutting, resulting in a dullness. In order to correct this, there has been a food slicer provided with a support member for supporting the overhanging portion C from below.
(For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  The invention described in Patent Document 1 corrects the bending and distortion of the cut portion by supporting and cutting the cut portion of the protruding cutting object from below. However, this can correct the vertical bending and distortion, but it cannot correct the horizontal bending and distortion. Moreover, it has been difficult to completely correct the distortion of meat having high elasticity such as the object to be cut having a line in the interior simply by being supported from below.

  As another background technology, there was a slicer that brings a spiral blade close to the blade side end of the mounting table on which the object to be cut is placed, but depending on the elasticity of the object to be cut and the internal quality, it may be caused by cutting friction, etc. Resistance may occur, and the blade may be drawn toward the mounting table to come into contact with the mounting table. When the rotating blade and the mounting table are in contact with each other in this way, unsanitary substances such as black water-soluble foreign matter may be generated due to moisture of the object to be cut and frictional resistance of rubbing.

  The cutting device 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the entire cutting apparatus 1 of the present invention, in which the cleaning mechanisms 32 and 33 are removed. The cutting device 1 places a cutting object on the mounting table 22, sequentially feeds it, cuts a portion protruding from the mounting table 22 with the rotating round blade 3, and discharges the cut material that has been cut and dropped by a belt conveyor. 31 is discharged.

  FIG. 2 shows a cutting mechanism such as the rotating round blade 3. This is composed of a rotating round blade 3 provided on the base 2 of the cutting device 1, a rotating rack 5 as a derivative, a driving body 12, a pedestal 13, rails 14 a and 14 b, and a motor 15 of the rotating rack 5.

  The rotary round blade 3 is connected to the drive main body 12 via a rotation shaft, and rotates with rotational power from a motor in the drive main body 12. The drive main body 12 is disposed on a flat base 13, and the base 13 on which the rotary round blade 3 and the drive main body 12 are disposed is disposed so as to be movable on rails 14 a and 14 b installed on the base 2 of the cutting device 1. The With the operation of the cutting device 1, the pedestal 13 rotates the rotary round blade 3 while reciprocating on the rails 14 a and 14 b.

  In the present embodiment, the rotary round blade 3 rotates with respect to the fixed mounting table 22 while reciprocating the cutting position in front of the mounting table 22, so that the position between the mounting table 22 and the opposite position is opposite. Is reciprocated to cut the cutting object 4 (see FIG. 5). Unlike the present embodiment, the rotating round blade 3 does not reciprocate, but the mounting table 22 reciprocates with respect to the fixed rotating round blade 3 to reciprocate between the opposing positions. It may be a thing.

  Although the rotary round blade 3 of this embodiment uses a single blade, a double-edged round blade may be used instead of a single blade. Further, the rotating round blade 3 in this embodiment is inclined with respect to the plane of the pedestal 13. This is because the mounting table 22 of the present embodiment is inclined, and accordingly, the rotating round blade is inclined so that the rotating round blade 3 is positioned substantially perpendicular to the direction fed from the mounting table 22. Yes. It is not limited to this embodiment, The rotation round blade 3 may be arrange | positioned so that it may become a perpendicular direction from the base 13. FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows a placement and delivery mechanism for placing the cutting object 4 and sending it to the cutting position. The placement / delivery mechanism mainly includes a lower placement table 22 and an upper delivery section 23. The mounting table 22 mainly mounts the cutting object 4. The mounting table 22 of the present embodiment is composed of a belt conveyor, and it is possible to automatically send out only a preset cutting width to the cutting position while mounting the cutting object 4. The delivery of the mounting table 22 to the cutting position is automatically controlled by the control unit.

  The delivery unit 23 is composed of a belt conveyor like the mounting table 22. Similarly to the mounting table 22, the delivery unit 23 also sends the cutting object 4 to the cutting position according to the cutting of the rotating round blade 3. This delivery is also controlled so that only a preset cutting width is automatically delivered.

  Since the mounting table 22 and the delivery unit 23 are arranged in a substantially C shape in a side view of the cutting device 1 in FIG. 3, the distance between the two becomes larger as the cutting object 4 approaches the rotary round blade 3. It is located so as to narrow. When the cutting object 4 approaches the cutting position, the cutting object 4 comes into contact with the upper delivery unit 23 and is sandwiched between the lower mounting table 22 and the upper delivery unit 23 near the cutting position, and is firmly fixed. For this reason, the delivery part 23 has a function as an up-down direction fixing member. That is, the sending unit 23 has a function of sending the cutting target 4 to the cutting position, and the cutting target 4 is sandwiched between the mounting table 22 and the sending unit 23 in a state where the cutting target 4 is sent to the cutting position. It can be fixed so as not to move up and down.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a side wall 24 that guides the side surface of the cutting object 4 and a lateral fixing member 25 that presses the cutting object 4 toward the side wall 24 are arranged on the mounting table 22. Thus, the cutting object 4 placed on the placing table 22 is firmly fixed by the lateral fixing member 25 and the side wall 24 so as not to move left and right.

The placement and delivery mechanism is not necessarily limited to the present embodiment. The mounting table 22 may be simply a box-like member on which the cutting object 4 is placed, and the delivery unit 23 is not a conveyor type but a screw type as long as the cutting object 4 is sent to a cutting position. Or manual.
Further, the fixing of the vertical movement of the cutting object 4 by the mounting table 22 and the delivery unit 23 and the fixing of the horizontal movement of the cutting object 4 by the side wall 24 and the lateral fixing member 25 are performed in order to improve the cutting sharpness. Preferably it is done.

  FIG. 4 shows a state seen from the direction of the arrow line Z in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the rotating rack 5 according to this embodiment of the derivative is a disk-shaped rotating body having a smaller radius and a predetermined width than the rotating round blade 3, and is provided on the base 13 of the cutting mechanism. The motor 15 is arranged so as to rotate from its center. Since the carousel 5 is arranged on the base 13, the carousel 5 reciprocates along the rotary round blade 3 at a cutting position in front of the mounting table 22 (see FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rotating rack 5 having a predetermined width is positioned between the rotating round blade 3 and the mounting table 22, and reciprocates along the rotating round blade 3 in front of the mounting table 22 (cutting position A). By doing so, the cutting object 4 is cut. The topmost part of the carousel 5 is the uppermost part of the rotating disk, and this part is at a height that is substantially flush with the mounting plane of the mounting table 22. Since this position is located in the vicinity of the cutting edge of the rotating round blade 3, it becomes a position (initial cutting position B) where cutting by the rotating round blade 3 is started.

  The topmost part of the rotating rack 5 is preferably located on the same plane as the mounting plane of the mounting table 22, but is not exact and includes a predetermined slight difference. The initial cutting position B also means that it is in the vicinity of the cutting edge of the rotary round blade 3, and is not exact and includes a predetermined slight difference.

  In this embodiment, since the rotary round blade 3 and the rotary rack 5 move relative to the mounting table 22 by the movement of the base 13 on the rails 14a and 14b of the cutting mechanism 11, the initial cutting position B is also set to these. Move relatively with. On the other hand, in the embodiment in which the rotating round blade 3 and the rotating rack 5 are fixed and the mounting table 22 is relatively moved, the initial cutting position B does not move, but the cutting position A for sending the cutting object 4 moves. It will be.

  As described above, the rotating rack 5 having a predetermined width is shown as an embodiment of the derivative, but other forms such as a belt conveyor for guiding the rotating rack 3 in the direction may be used. Even if it implements as the rotation rack 5, it should just have the function to guide to the direction of the rotation round blade 3, and it does not necessarily need to have a wide width dimension.

  The effect | action which cut | disconnects the cutting target object 4 is demonstrated. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rotating round blade 3 rotates clockwise (arrow line X), and the cutting object 4 is rotated and cut from above. On the other hand, the rotating rack 5 rotates counterclockwise (indicated by an arrow line Y), which is opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating round blade 3, and rotates in the direction of the rotating round blade 3.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the position at which the rotary round blade 3 reciprocates in front of the mounting table 22 is the cutting position A. As shown in FIG. 6, in a state where the cutting object 4 is sent to the cutting position A by the mounting table 22 or the sending unit 23, the overhanging portion C that is a part of the cutting object 4 is a rotating round blade of the mounting table 22. It will be in the state which protrudes from the edge part 26 of 3 side. The projecting portion C of the cutting object 4 is supported from below at the topmost portion (initial cutting position B) of the rotating rack 5 and is guided toward the rotating round blade 3 by the rotation (arrow line Y).

  By this guidance of the rotating rack 5, the cutting object 4 can be cut so as to be sandwiched between the rotating round blade 3 and the rotating rack 5, and the cutting sharpness can be improved. Therefore, even if it is the cutting object 4 with elasticity, such as meat with a line, for example, it becomes possible to reduce clogging and fragments and to cut cleanly.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the rotary rack 5 is in contact with the rotary round blade 3 and its side surface near the top (initial cutting position B), but on the rotary round blade 3 side of the mounting table 22. There is no contact with the end 26. Since the rotating round blade 3 and the end portion 26 of the installation base 22 do not come into contact with each other, it is possible to suppress the generation of unsanitary substances such as water-soluble foreign matters generated by the moisture of the cutting target 4.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, in this embodiment, the axial center directions of the rotary round blade 3 and the rotary rack 5 are substantially the same. However, as shown in FIG. The direction is slightly different from the axial center direction of the rotary round blade 3, and the direction is inclined with respect to the rotary round blade 3 by an angle θ. Thereby, both are made to contact in the topmost part (initial cutting position B), and it is made not to contact with the rotary round blade 3 apart from others. Contact between the rotating rack 5 and the rotating round blade 3 can be avoided more than necessary, and generation of unsanitary substances caused by friction can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning mechanism 32 can be arranged in addition to the topmost portion (initial cutting position) of the disk-shaped rotating rack 5. As a result, it is possible to clean the rotating rack 5 while operating it. The cleaning mechanism 32 ejects cleaning water or the like inside the cleaning mechanism 32 so that foreign matters or the like attached to the rotating rack 5 can be washed away. It is also possible to attach the cleaning mechanism 33 to the rotating round blade 3.

  In the present embodiment, the side surface of the rotating rack 5 is in contact with the rotating round blade 3 at the topmost portion (initial cutting position B) and is not in contact with the end portion 26 of the installation table 22. That is, by preventing the rotating round blade 3 and the end of the installation base 22 from coming into direct contact with each other, the generation of foreign matters is prevented. As another embodiment, it is possible to prevent the rotating rack 5 and the rotating round blade 3 from contacting each other.
