In FIG. 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a food cutting apparatus. This food cutting apparatus 1 is a commercial food slicer for continuously cutting a large amount of food (ingredients) such as vegetables in, for example, a food service center.

A food cutting device 1 shown in FIG. and a cutting body 5 that is detachably attached to the shaft 2 for use.

The cutting body 5 is a disk-shaped cutter plate for cutting food into strips. In other words, the illustrated cutting body 5 is a strip-cutting plate for obtaining a desired strip-shaped food product. It is removed from the rotary shaft 2 and attached to the rotary shaft 2 is another cutter plate (not shown) such as a round slice plate or a julienne plate.

The apparatus main body 3 has a conveying means 8 for conveying food, which is an object to be cut, toward an opening 7 of a front portion (opposing surface portion facing the cut body 5) 6. As shown in FIG. The conveying means 8 conveys the food in the conveying direction while holding the food from above and below by, for example, a lower feeding conveyor 9 and an upper pressing conveyor (not shown). In addition, the feed conveyor 9 has an endless conveyor belt 17 for conveying the food placed on the mounting surface 16 .

Further, the device main body 3 has a rotatable opening/closing cover 10 that covers the cutting body 5 attached to the rotating shaft 2 . The opening/closing cover 10 is rotatably attached to one side end of the front portion 6 via a hinge (not shown), and the opening/closing cover 10 is opened by being rotated in the opening direction. to expose the cut body 5, and turn in the closing direction to close the cut body 5 and cover the cut body 5. At the bottom of the opening/closing cover 10, there is provided a food dropping opening 10a for dropping the cut food (desired strip-shaped food) cut by the cutting body 5 toward a storage container (not shown). is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the cutting body (strip cutting plate) 5 is a disk-shaped rotating member that is detachably attached to the rotating shaft 2 of the apparatus main body 3 and rotates together with the rotating shaft 2. A rotating plate 11, a pair of flat blades 12 detachably provided on the rotating plate 11 for cutting the food, and a pair of flat blades 12 detachably provided on the rotating plate 11 for cutting the food by the corresponding flat blades 12. A plurality of vertical blades (single blades all having the same shape) 13 for cutting food immediately before are provided.

In this illustrated example, a plurality of predetermined number (for example, seven) of vertical blades 13 are arranged in a line with respect to one flat blade 12 positioned on both sides of the rotating plate 11. They are provided in the vicinity of the cutting edge 12a of the flat blade 12 so as to be individually removable. That is, for each flat blade 12, a vertical blade group 15 composed of a predetermined number of vertical blades 13, which is two or more, is arranged at a position near the cutting edge 12a of the corresponding flat blade 12 (a position near the front in the rotational direction).

The number of vertical blades (single blades) 13 constituting one vertical blade group 15 corresponding to one flat blade 12 is "seven" in the illustrated example, but is not limited to this. The number is determined according to the width of the desired strip-shaped food (strip). In addition, depending on the number of lines, they are not limited to a single line, but may be double lines. Therefore, for example, a plurality of types of rotating plates 11 corresponding to the width of the strip are required. However, depending on the width of the strip, one rotary plate 11 may be configured to be able to handle a plurality of widths.

The rotating plate 11 has a surface portion 21 on the inner surface facing the front surface portion 6 of the apparatus main body 3 and a back surface portion on the outer surface facing the opening/closing cover 10 of the apparatus main body 3 . has 22. The surface portion 21 is a surface (food contact surface) with which the food conveyed by the conveying means 8 abuts.

Further, the rotary plate 11 has a shaft mounting portion 23 at its center, and this shaft mounting portion 23 is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 2 protruding from the front surface portion 6 of the device main body 3 . Rotating plate 11 has two longitudinal food passage openings 24 which form a pair centering on shaft mounting portion 23, and these food passage openings 24 are formed on the surface by elongated plate-like flat blades 12. Covered from 21 sides.

Further, the rotating plate 11 has a plurality of insertion holes 26, the number of which is the same as the number of the vertical blades 13, and the vertical blades 13 are inserted into and removed from each of the insertion holes 26. there is Each insertion hole 26 has a function of setting the direction of the cutting edge 13a of the vertical blade 13 (vertical blade orientation function). The direction of the cutting edge 13a is set only by being set.

The insertion hole portion 26 has a perfect circular small hole (first hole) 27 located on the front surface portion 21 side and an oval large hole (second hole) 28 located on the back surface portion 22 side. ing. The large hole 28 has a small hole portion continuously connected to the small hole 27 and a bulge having the same circular shape as the small hole portion centered at a position separated from the center of the small hole portion by a certain length. It is an elliptical shape drawn with the outer diameter of the part. The large hole 28 has a linear direction passing through the center of the bulging portion having the same circular shape as the small hole portion with the center of the small hole portion having an oval outer diameter as a base point, and the direction of the vertical blade 13. It is formed to be larger than the small hole 27 so as to extend in the same direction as the cutting edge 13a (see FIG. 3, etc.). Therefore, a receiving surface 29 for positioning the vertical blade 13 at a predetermined position is formed on the surface of the insertion hole 26 facing the extended portion of the large hole 28 . Holding holes 30 are formed at two locations on the outer periphery of the rotating plate 11, and the operator can hold the rotating plate 11 by inserting fingers into the holes 30. FIG.

The flat blade 12 has a long, plate-like shape with an elongated, gentle arc-shaped cutting edge 12a at the front end in the rotational direction, and one end in the longitudinal direction is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the surface of the rotating plate by a mounting tool (bolt, etc.). 31, and the other end in the longitudinal direction is attached to the center of the surface of the rotating plate with a fixture (bolt or the like) 32. Therefore, the flat blade 12 itself does not undulate when cutting the food, and can cut the food to a uniform thickness at any position of the cutting edge 12a. A cutting edge 12a of the flat blade 12 is formed in an arcuate shape (curved shape) that is convex toward the rotating direction of the rotary plate 11. As shown in FIG. The flat blade 12 is made of metal such as stainless steel.

For the vertical blade 13, for example, after inserting a blade plate 41, which is a plate-shaped blade member made of metal such as stainless steel as the flat blade 12, into the mold, resin is injected into the mold to form the blade plate 41 and the blade plate 41. It is an insert-molded product integrated with resin. 5(a) and 5(b), the vertical blade 13 has a strip-shaped metal blade plate 41 and a resin base 42 fixed to the blade plate 41. ing.

The blade plate 41 has a single-edged cutting edge portion 43 having a thin strip shape and a triangular cross section on one end side in the width direction, and the tip edge of the cutting edge portion 43 is a linear cutting edge 13a. Further, the blade plate 41 has an embedded portion 46 embedded and fixed in the base 42 and an exposed portion 47 exposed outside the base 42 .

The embedding portion 46 is formed with a retaining hole 48 and a notch 49 for preventing the blade plate 41 from slipping out of the base 42, and resin enters and is fixed to the hole 48 and the notch 49. ing. Also, the height dimension (H in the figure) of the exposed portion 47 is a value corresponding to the size of the desired strip-shaped food, and is, for example, 3 mm, 6 mm, 10 mm, or the like. The upper end face of the exposed portion 47 (the end face in the longitudinal direction on the exposed side of the blade plate 41) is inclined upward toward the cutting edge 13a. Moreover, the thickness dimension (T in the figure) of the blade plate 41 is, for example, 0.8 mm.

The base 42 has a small portion (first portion) 51 having a perfectly circular cross section and is inserted (inserted) into the small hole 27 of the insertion hole 26 of the rotary plate 11, and is inserted into the large hole 28 communicating with the small hole 27. The embedded portion 46 of the blade plate 41 penetrates through the small portion 51 of the base 42 and near the lower portion of the large portion 52. , and is placed substantially in the center of the small portion 51 in a plan view, and the lower major portion 52 of the base 42 extends toward the direction in which the blade edge (the blade edge of the vertical blade) 13a of the blade plate 41 faces. It is formed larger than the upper small portion 51 so as to exist (project). Therefore, a contact surface 53 that contacts the receiving surface 29 of the insertion hole 26 is formed on the upper surface of the extended portion of the major portion 52 . A plane 54, which is the upper surface of the small portion 51, is flush with the surface portion 21 of the rotating plate 11. As shown in FIG.

When attaching the vertical blade 13 to the rotary plate 11, the base 42 of the vertical blade 13 is fitted into the insertion hole portion 26 from the back surface portion 22 side of the rotary plate 11. As shown in FIG. Then, the small portion 51 of the base 42 is fitted into the small hole 27 of the insertion hole portion 26, the large portion 52 of the base 42 is fitted into the large hole 28 of the insertion hole portion 26, and the base 42 is When the abutment surface 53 contacts the receiving surface 29 of the insertion hole 26, the vertical blade 13 rotates with the cutting edge 13a of the blade plate 41 directed in the desired direction (direction a in the figure). Positioned relative to plate 11 .

In other words, when the vertical blades 13 are positioned and attached to the rotating plate 11, the orientations of the cutting edges 13a of the plurality (for example, seven) of the vertical blades 13 constituting each of the two vertical blade groups 15 are different from each other. . In other words, the cutting edge 13a of each vertical blade 13 attached to the rotating plate 11 that rotates about the shaft attachment portion 23 is oriented downward when passing through a predetermined position (height). .

The cutting body 5 has a plurality of vertical blades (a plurality of vertical blades constituting each vertical blade group) in which the blade edges 13a are set in different desired directions by being inserted into the insertion hole 26 of the rotary plate 11. ) 13 to the rotary plate 11 in a fixed manner. In other words, the cutting body 5 simultaneously gathers a plurality of vertical blades 13 constituting one vertical blade group 15 of two vertical blade groups 15 positioned at intervals of 180° in the circumferential direction of the rotary plate 11 . and the other pressing means 56 for simultaneously pressing the plurality of vertical blades 13 forming the other vertical blade group 15 against the rotary plate 11.

The pressing means 56 includes an elastic plate 57 which is an elastically deformable elongated plate-like elastic member, and the plurality of vertical blades 13 of the vertical blade group 15 are gathered together via the elastic plate 57 and simultaneously pressed into the insertion hole of the rotating plate 11. It has a presser plate 58 which is an elongated plate-shaped presser member that presses against the receiving surface 29 of 26 .

As shown in FIG. 6(a), the elastic plate 57 is made of elastically deformable resin or rubber and has an arcuate elongated plate shape corresponding to the arcuate cutting edge 12a of the flat blade 12. Notches 59 for bolt insertion are formed at a plurality of locations (for example, four locations) of the plate 57 . Note that the elastic plate 57 is, for example, a silicon sheet.

As shown in FIG. 6(b), the holding plate 58 is made of metal and has an arc-shaped elongated plate shape corresponding to the arc-shaped cutting edge 12a of the flat blade 12. Holes 60 for bolt insertion are formed at a plurality of locations (eg, six locations). The pressing plate 58 has an arc-shaped elongated flat plate portion 61 and an annular projection 62 projecting from the outer peripheral portion of the flat plate portion 61 and forming a storage space 63 in which the elastic plate 57 can be stored. there is Since the annular protrusion 62 is in close contact with the rear surface 22 of the rotary plate 11, foreign matters such as cutting dregs and dust do not enter the storage space 63 inside the pressing plate 58 (see FIG. 3).

Then, when the elastic plate 57 is stored in the storage space 63 of the pressing plate 58, and the pressing plate 58 is attached to the back surface portion 22 of the rotating plate 11 using the mounting tool 65, the plurality of vertical blades 13 are attached to the pressing plate. The plate 58 presses against the receiving surface 29 of the insertion hole 26 of the rotary plate 11 via the elastic plate 57 and is fixed.

The fixture 65 consists of a bolt 66, a nut 67 and a washer 68, for example. Then, the bolt 66 is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 70 of the rotary plate 11, the bolt insertion notch 59 of the elastic plate 57, and the bolt insertion hole 60 of the pressing plate 58, and the tip side thereof is A washer 68 and a nut 67 are installed. However, the notches 59 of the elastic plate 57 do not exist at both ends of the pressing plate 58 in the longitudinal direction, and the bolts 66 are inserted through the holes 60 and 70 of the rotating plate 11 and the pressing plate 58 .

The fixture 65 is not limited to such bolting, and may be any fixture as long as it detachably attaches the pressing plate 58 to the rotating plate 11. For example, it may be pinned or fitted.

In addition, in the cutting body 5, the plurality (for example, seven) vertical blades 13 constituting each vertical blade group 15 are arranged so that the timing to start cutting the food is shifted (in other words, two or more vertical blades 13 can be operated at the same time). (so as not to start cutting into the food).

Specifically, the plurality of vertical blades (the blade plate 41 of each vertical blade 13 of the vertical blade group 15) 13 is not on the straight line L1 along the radial direction passing through the rotation center (axis center) P1 of the rotary plate 11. , on an arc-shaped curve (curve along the cutting edge of a flat blade) L2 with a curvature radius R centered on an arc center P2 different from the rotation center P1 of the rotary plate 11, at intervals (substantially equal intervals) are arranged (see FIG. 8).

That is, the configuration of the comparative example shown in FIG. 8(b) is a configuration in which a plurality of vertical blades 13 are arranged on the straight line L1. In this case, a plurality of the vertical blades 13, for example, two vertical blades 13 adjacent to each other, simultaneously start cutting the food (for example, vegetables such as carrots having a circular cross-section forming a cylindrical shape).

Therefore, at this time, the facing surfaces of the blade plates 41 of the two vertical blades 13 receive a relatively large load from the food. In other words, when the blade plates 41 of the two vertical blades 13 that face each other and are spaced apart from each other start cutting food such as carrots at the same time, the portion of the food sandwiched between the double-edged plates 41 of the vertical blades 13 is Since the food is cut while receiving a compressive force (relatively large force) corresponding to the thickness of the double-edged plate 41 from both sides, each opposing surface of the double-edged plate 41 receives a relatively large load from the food. (Note that in the example described below, the food product is not subjected to such two-sided compressive forces).

On the other hand, the configuration of the example (this embodiment) shown in FIG. 8(a) is a configuration in which a plurality of vertical blades 13 are arranged on the curve L2. In this case, each of the vertical blades 13 starts cutting the food sequentially from the center side of the rotary plate 11 toward the outer peripheral side at different timings.

Therefore, the load that the blade plate 41 of the vertical blade 13 receives from the food is smaller than in the case of the comparative example. As a result, the vertical blades 13 of the example have better durability than the comparative example.

As for the flat blade 12, the blade edge 12a is positioned in an arc shape (curved shape) along the curve L2, which is the direction in which the vertical blades 13 are arranged. The load received from the food when cutting is smaller than in the case of the shape. For this reason, first, the plurality of vertical blades 13 cut the food in order at different timings without imposing a burden on the food that is a single mass. By sequentially cutting the flat blades 12 following the cutting of the vertical blades 13, the cut surface of the strip-shaped food after cutting is cleanly finished without cracks. In particular, a plurality of vertical blades 13 that sequentially cut relatively hard vegetables (foods) such as carrots at staggered timings are effective so as not to impose a burden on them.

Also, as is clear from FIG. 8(a), the orientations of the cutting edges 13a of the plurality of (for example, seven) vertical blades 13 constituting each vertical blade group 15 are different from each other. That is, the straight lines (α1 to α7 in the figure) along the direction of the cutting edge 13a of each vertical blade 13 are not parallel to each other, but gradually approach the horizontal direction from the center side of the rotary plate 11 toward the outer peripheral side. It's like Further, the angles formed by the straight lines (α1 to α7 in the drawing) and the straight line passing through the rotation center P1 of the rotary plate 11 along the radial direction are all 90 degrees (including approximately 90 degrees). As a result, the blade plate 41 of each vertical blade 13 cuts the food with a small load when cutting the food. Depending on the size of the food cutting apparatus 1 to which the cutting body 5 is attached and the ability to cut the food, each desired direction may be set, although slightly. When the food is cut by the vertical blade 13 set in a desired direction in this way, the food is less likely to be drawn toward the center of the rotating plate 11, and is cut diagonally with respect to the conveying direction of the conveying means 8. It will be a strip shape with good finish.

As shown in FIG. 8(a), a configuration in which a plurality of vertical blades 13 are arranged on an arc-shaped curve L2 is preferable, but a configuration in which they are arranged on a straight line (including a substantially straight line) instead of a curved line may also be used. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, a plurality of A configuration in which (for example, seven) vertical blades 13 are arranged side by side at intervals is also possible.

In FIG. 9, short lines passing through points a, b, c, and d are tangents to arcs drawn when the points rotate about the center of rotation P1. The inclinations of the tangent lines (inclination angles with respect to the horizontal direction) at points c and d on the straight line B are different, and the cutting start timings of the vertical blades 13 arranged at points c and d are different. . On the other hand, the slopes of the tangent lines (angles of inclination with respect to the horizontal direction) at points a and b on the straight line A are the same, and the cutting start timings of the vertical blades 13 arranged at points a and b are the same. becomes (comparative example). In FIG. 9, the positions of the vertical blades on the straight line B are indicated by two points c and d, but the remaining vertical blades are arranged at a plurality of positions between the points c and d on the straight line B.

Next, the operation and the like of the food cutting apparatus 1 will be described.

When an operator puts food into the conveying means 8, the food is continuously cut into strips by the cutting body 5 rotating in a predetermined direction while being conveyed by the conveying means 8 in the conveying direction.

That is, the food comes into contact with the surface portion 21 of the rotary plate 11 as it is conveyed in the conveying direction, and the plurality of vertical blades 13 constituting the group of vertical blades 15 causes the blade plate 41 of each of the vertical blades 13 to start cutting. Differently, it is cut in the longitudinal direction (direction along the conveying direction) in a state with less load, and immediately after the cutting, it is cut in the lateral direction (direction perpendicular to the conveying direction) by the flat blade 12 to obtain the desired shape. It becomes strip-shaped.

Then, the desired strip-shaped food passes through the opening 24 of the rotating plate 11 as indicated by the dotted arrow in FIG. stored inside.

Here, for example, if only one blade plate 41 of the vertical blades 13 among the plurality of vertical blades 13 has a problem (for example, the cutting edge becomes dull or deformed), the holding means 56 is removed from the rotary plate 11. Once removed, only one vertical blade 13 that needs to be replaced can be replaced with a new one.

As described above, according to the food cutting apparatus 1, since the plurality of vertical blades 13 constituting each vertical blade group 15 are individually and detachably attached to the insertion holes 26 of the rotary plate 11, replacement is not required. Only the necessary vertical blades 13 can be individually replaced, thereby reducing the replacement cost.

Since the shape of all the insertion holes 26 formed in the rotating plate 11 and the shape of all the vertical blades 13 are the same, the vertical blades 13 can be replaced easily without making mistakes. .

In addition, since the plurality of vertical blades 13 are arranged on the rotating plate 11 so that the cutting start timings of the food are shifted, the load that the blade plate (blade portion) 41 of each vertical blade 13 receives from the food when cutting the food. is small, and thus the durability of the vertical blade 13 can be improved.

Furthermore, by simply inserting the plurality of vertical blades 13 into the insertion holes 26 of the rotary plate 11, the blade edges 13a of the blade plates 41 of the vertical blades 13 can be easily set in different desired directions.

Moreover, since the pressing means 56 for pressing the plurality of vertical blades 13 against the rotating plate 11 is provided, the pressing means 56 can collectively fix the plurality of vertical blades 13 to the rotating plate 11 at the same time.

Further, the pressing means 56 has an elastic plate 57 that can be elastically deformed, and a pressing plate 58 that presses the plurality of vertical blades 13 against the rotating plate 11 via the elastic plate 57. When an unreasonable load is applied to 41, the load can be suppressed by elastic deformation of the elastic plate 57.

The food cutting apparatus 1 is not limited to a structure having a rotating portion rotated by power from a drive means such as a motor, and may be of a manual type having a rotating portion rotated manually by an operator, for example.

In addition, the cutting body (strip cutting plate) 5 is not limited to a configuration including two food cutting parts for cutting strips, each consisting of one flat blade 12 and one corresponding vertical blade group 15. For example, A configuration having only one food cutting unit or a configuration having three or more food cutting units may be used.

Furthermore, the insertion hole portion (vertical blade insertion hole portion) 26 of the rotating plate 11 of the cutting body 5 is preferably circular because it is easy to form a circular shape when forming a hole in the rotating plate 11. , but not limited to this circular shape, and may be, for example, a square shape. When the insertion hole 26 is square, the corresponding base 42 of the vertical blade 13 is also square.

Also, the direction of the cutting edge 13a of the vertical blade 13 integral with the base 42 is directed toward the major portion 52 extending from the minor portion 51 of the base 42, but on the opposite side (180 °) may be integrated with the base 42 . In this case, the insertion hole portion 26 consisting of the small hole 27 and the large hole 28 formed in the rotary plate 11 may also be directed to the opposite side (180°) correspondingly.
