Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement of a rotary slicer for cutting chunks of frozen meat (hereinafter also referred to as material).

<Prior art> As a rotary frozen meat slicer that is most similar to the present invention, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 120799/1989 is known, and this has a disc-shaped table 3 and a raw material box 21 that are However, the raw material box 21 is not directly attached and fixed to the top surface of the table 3, and the integral rotation with the table 3 is caused by the rotation of the raw material box 21 on the rotating shaft 16. This is achieved by a connecting arm 24 extending from the .

Then, move the entire table 3 to the knob 5,
The cutting thickness of the material can be adjusted by raising and lowering it by rotating the blade 6 and changing the mutual gap with the disc-shaped slicing blade 19.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in such a configuration, since the rotating shaft 16 is located at the center of the table 3, it is necessary to provide at least one pair of the knobs 5 and 6 on the left and right sides.
It is necessary to distribute them at eccentric positions, which makes it difficult to maintain the table 3 in a left-right balanced state, and the adjustment operation is extremely troublesome.

In addition, since the table 3 itself is raised and lowered, the entire weight acts on the knobs 5 and 6, especially during the raising operation, making it extremely heavy and lacking in smoothness.
Moreover, a special sliding structure that allows the table 3 to move up and down, a shaft sealing structure, etc. must be added to the bearing portion of the rotating shaft 16, etc.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention is intended to improve the above problem, and for this purpose, a disk-shaped turntable and a round blade are erected in parallel from the installation machine casing. Due to the rotary drive shafts for the turntable and the round blade, the former is always positioned above the latter by a certain height, and a part of the circumference of both overlaps in the shape of a convex lens when viewed from a plane. The round blade is pivoted in a horizontally installed state, and the round blade is driven to rotate at a higher speed than the turntable by a motor inside the machine housing. A material input hopper has a plurality of material drop ports that sometimes face the overlapping part with the round blade, and the openings are distributed in a radially symmetrical arrangement when viewed from above, and the material input hopper has an opening communicating with each of the material drop ports. is fitted and fixed onto the top surface of the turntable so as to be able to rotate integrally with the turntable, while at a position directly below the turntable there is a material receiving plate parallel to the same height plane as the cutting edge of the round blade; The thickness adjustment plate, which is always located below, has a semicircular shape in plan view that divides the turntable into approximately two equal parts, and the former is fixed at the start end of the turntable in the direction of rotation, and the latter is located at the same direction in the direction of rotation. The thickness adjustment plate is supported movably up and down by a single screw support that stands up from the installation machine housing, and the screw support is attached to the outside of the installation machine housing. The cutting thickness of the material defined between the thickness adjusting plate and the round blade can be adjusted by rotating the blade, and the sliced material can be sliced by the high-speed rotation of the round blade. The apparatus is characterized in that it is automatically taken out to the outside of the installed machine casing by a conveyor inserted between the two rotary drive shafts in a position directly below the overlapping portion.

<Example> Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated example.
1 is an installation machine casing, and motors 13 and 14 serving as drive sources for a disc-shaped turntable 11 and a round blade 12 are installed inside the casing. 15 is machine cabinet F
The lower end of the rotary drive shaft 16 for round blades, which passes through the bearing cylinder that is erected and fixed on the upper surface, is connected to the machine casing F.
It is transmission connected to the corresponding motor 14 via a pulley 17, belt 18, etc. inside.
Therefore, the round blade 12 attached and fixed to the upper end of the drive shaft 16 is rotationally driven by the motor 14. Reference numeral 19 denotes a safety cover for the round blade supported by the bearing tube 15.

Moreover, 20 is the bearing cylinder 15 of the rotary drive shaft 16 for round blades.
A bearing cylinder is also fixed upright on the upper surface of the machine casing F so as to be parallel to this, and supports the rotary drive shaft 21 for the turntable. The turntable 11 is fixed to the upper end of the drive shaft 21 so as to be able to rotate together, and the lower end of the drive shaft 21 is connected to a coupling 22, a pulley 23, a belt 24, a worm, etc. It is transmission connected to the motor 13, which is its driving source, by a speed reducer or the like.

In that case, as is clear from FIGS. 3 to 5, the turntable 11 and the round blade 12 are in a step relationship in which the former is located above the latter by a certain height, and the circular blades 12 are in a stepped relationship when viewed from the plane. They are installed in parallel in a horizontal installation state in which their peripheral parts overlap in the shape of convex lenses, and as shown by arrows A and B in Figure 5, they are placed in the same direction (counterclockwise when viewed from above in the example). direction).

In other words, the cutting edge of the round blade 12 that rotates at a higher speed than the turntable 11 slices the input material M from the hopper, which will be described later, to the conveyor 2 facing the space below the overlap portion L.
It is determined that the slice piece m is to be dropped to 5.

S is a plurality of pieces arranged at regular intervals on the turntable 11 (in the example shown, a total of three pieces arranged in a radially symmetrical manner).
Hopper 26 for material input which communicates with each drop port S is formed as a through-hole.
It is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the table 11 in an upright position with screws or the like. 27 is a material receiving plate held directly below the table 11 at the same height as the cutting edge of the round blade 12, and is integrally projected laterally from the bearing sleeve 20 of the table rotation drive shaft 21. It is supported from below in a stable and fixed state by a required number of support arms 28. A part of the receiving plate 27 is bent upward as a safety cover 29 for the table 11.

On the other hand, 30 is a thickness adjustment plate facing directly below the turntable 11, and is supported from below by a screw support 31. 32 is the above machine casing F
This is a mounting leg that is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting leg 32, and the threaded support 31 is received in a non-threaded state within the cylindrical portion of the mounting leg 32. Reference numeral 33 denotes a rotation prevention regulating screw that is screwed into the groove 34 of the screw support 31 from the mounting leg 32, and thereby prevents the screw support 3 from rotating.
1 is restricted to perform only lifting and lowering operations.

Reference numeral 35 denotes an adjustment operation handle screwed onto the mid-threaded portion of the screw support 31. By rotating this handle, the screw support 31 of the thickness adjustment plate 30 only moves up and down, and the adjustment plate 30 and Round blade 12
The cutting thickness T of the material M defined between the cutting edge and the cutting edge of the cutting edge can be adjusted to be thick or thin. Reference numeral 36 denotes a push bolt for positioning and fixing the adjusted height state, and is screwed into the screw column 31 from the mounting leg 32 so as to be freely movable forward and backward.

The material receiving plate 27 facing directly below the turntable 11 and its thickness adjusting plate 30 are
As suggested from the plan view of the figure, in relation to the rotation direction A of the table 11, the thickness adjustment plate 30 is located on the starting end side of the rotation direction A,
The material receiving plates 27 are also located on the advancing end side, and are arranged in a semicircular shape in a plan view that roughly divides the disc-shaped turntable 11 into two. Then, the lump-like material M falling from the hopper 26 under its own weight is received by the thickness adjusting plate 30 and is sliced by the cutting edge of the round blade 12 as the turntable 11 rotates.

In that case, an extension guide plate 37 for preventing bending of the slice piece m is attached and fixed from below by screws 38 to the concave arc-shaped end edge of the thickness adjustment plate 30 facing the cutting edge of the round blade 12. has been done. That is,
As is clear from FIGS. 4 to 6, by making the extension guide plate 37 of the thickness adjusting plate 30 overlap the corresponding arcuate convex curved cutting edge of the round blade 12 by a certain band width W, The slice m being cut is guided in a straight and smooth manner along the gap between the guide plate 37 and the lower flank surface 39 of the round blade 12, and the slice m is cut.
This prevents the material from prematurely and sharply curling downward and bending.

Therefore, as long as this purpose can be achieved, the extension guide plate 37 can be formed continuously and integrally with the thickness adjusting plate 30, but in any case, both the plates 30, 3
It goes without saying that 7 is in contact with the slice piece m when they are flush with each other. The completely cut slice pieces m are then dropped onto the conveyor 25 as described above.
The conveyor 25 is pivotally supported within a guide frame 40 having a U-shaped cross section so as to be able to freely circulate. Reference numeral 41 denotes a support leg of the guide frame 40, which is fixedly erected on the machine casing F. 42 is a geared motor that rotationally drives the rollers of the conveyor 25;
It is covered by a cover case 43 connected to the upper surface of the . 44 is a switch box installed in the machine casing F. It is clear from FIGS. 1 to 3 that the conveyor 25 is interposed between the two rotary drive shafts 21 and 16.

Further, numeral 45 is a material presser facing into each hopper 26, and includes a presser plate 47 with a needle 46 that comes into contact with the material M, and a guide rod 48 fixed vertically from the presser plate 47.
and a retaining grip 49 integrally attached to the upper end of the guide rod 48, which prevents the material M from moving upward by its own gravity. 5
0 is a bearing mast fixedly installed at the center of rotation of the turntable 11, and a support shaft 51 is screwed into this from above. 52 is a holding arm for connecting the support shaft 51 and the plurality of material pressers 45, and the base end boss portion thereof is connected to the support shaft 51.
The tip of each material presser 45 is loosely fitted so that it can be rotated horizontally, and the tip that projects laterally also
The guide rod 48 is penetratingly engaged with the guide rod 48 in a so-called loose state.

In other words, each of the material pressers 45 can be freely moved in and out of the hopper 26, and can be extracted upward from the hopper 26 as shown by the chain line in FIG. It can also be horizontally rotated around the support shaft 51 via the arm 52, so that the material M can be taken in and out of the hopper 26 without any trouble. As the holding arm 52 rotates the turntable 11,
It is also clear from the above explanation that it rotates smoothly. In addition, as long as the above purpose can be achieved, the holding arm can be fixed by erecting the support shaft 51 continuously and integrally with the mast 50, and screwing a short screw into the upper end thereof, or by screwing a nut into the support shaft 51. 52 may be prevented from coming off upward. Alternatively, the needles 46 of the presser plate 47 may be integrally provided with a rough surface on the lower surface of the presser plate 47.

<Function> According to the above configuration, when the lump-like materials M are respectively introduced into the plurality of hoppers 26 and the turntable 11 and round blade 12 are rotated in the arrow directions A and B in FIG. When the material M falling from the hopper 26 under its own weight is caught by the thickness adjusting plate 30 from below, the turntable 1
1 is fed into the action area of the round blade 12, and is successively sliced by the cutting edge of the round blade 12, and the sliced pieces m after cutting are sent into the action area of the round blade 12. 37, without bending as shown in Figure 6.
It automatically and smoothly falls onto the conveyor 25, and is taken out of the machine casing F by the conveyor 25. As described above, the cutting thickness T of the slice piece m can be adjusted by raising and lowering the adjustment plate 30 using the adjustment operation handle 35.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, in the rotary slicer for frozen meat according to the present invention, the disc-shaped turntable 11 and the round blade 12 are arranged in parallel to each other from the installation machine case F. and the rotary drive shafts 21 and 16 for the round blades, so that the former is always positioned above the latter by a certain height, and a part of the circumference of the two overlaps in the shape of a convex lens when viewed from a plane. The round blade 12 is pivoted in a horizontally installed state, and the round blade 12 is set to be driven to rotate at a higher speed than the turntable 11 by a motor 14 in the mounting machine casing F, and a part of the circumference of the turntable 11 is set. In addition, a plurality of material drop ports S that face the overlap portion L with the round blade 12 during rotation are distributed in a radially symmetrical arrangement in overall plan view, and each of the material drop ports is A material input hopper 26 having an opening communicating with S is fitted and fixed onto the upper surface of the turntable 11 so as to be able to rotate integrally therewith. The material receiving plate 27 parallel to the height plane and the thickness adjusting plate 30 always located below this are semicircular in plan view, dividing the turntable 11 into approximately two equal parts, and the former is configured to rotate the turntable. The thickness adjustment plate 30 is arranged so that it faces in a fixed state at the starting end of travel in direction A, and the latter faces in a movable state at the end of travel in rotational direction A, and the thickness adjusting plate 30 is set up from the machine casing F. The material M defined between the thickness adjustment plate 30 and the round blade 12 can be cut by being supported by a screw support 31 so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and by rotating the screw support 31 from the outside of the installation machine casing F. Thickness T
is set so that the thickness can be adjusted, and the slice piece m of the material M sliced by the high-speed rotation of the round blade 12 is placed in a relational state in which the slice piece m of the material M is directly below the overlap part L, and the rotation drive shafts 21 and 16 are Since the conveyor 25 installed between the conveyors 25 and 25 is arranged to automatically take out the outside of the installation machine casing F, there is an effect that the problems of the prior art described at the beginning can be improved.

That is, in the case of the present invention, the turntable 11 and the round blade 12 are installed in parallel such that the former is always located above the latter by a certain height, and the table 11 itself is raised and lowered. It's not a thing.

Therefore, the hopper 26 can be directly attached and fixed to the upper surface of the table 11, and the whole can be rotated stably. The material receiving plate 27, which is located at the same height and plane as the cutting edge of the round blade 12, can also be fixed and held at a position directly below the table 11. becomes.

The material receiving plate 27 has a semicircular shape in a plan view that roughly divides the table 11 into two halves, and faces the starting end of the table in the table rotation direction A.
The remaining small semicircular thickness adjustment plate 30 is also arranged side by side at a position always below the material receiving plate 27, facing the advancing end side in the rotation direction A.
This is raised and lowered by rotating the screw post 31, and the cutting thickness T of the material M defined between the cutting edge of the round blade 12, which is on the same plane as the material receiving plate 27, and the thickness adjustment plate 30 is determined. Since the thickness can be adjusted, it is possible to adjust the thickness very efficiently and easily by simply rotating one of the screw supports 31 while keeping the overall thickness adjustment plate 30 in a stable state.

This effect is achieved because the small semicircular thickness adjustment plate 30, which is independent from the table 11, is raised and lowered by a single screw support 31.

Therefore, the screw support 31 is located at an eccentric position relative to the rotary drive shaft 21 of the table 11, and a certain amount of space is ensured between the table rotary drive shaft 21 and the round blade rotary drive shaft 16. In addition, since the space corresponds to the overlap part L between the table 11 and the round blade 12, the conveyor 25 can be effectively interposed directly below the overlap part L, and the conveyor 25 The slice piece m after cutting can also be reliably captured and automatically led out of the installation machine casing F, and the overall design can be rationalized.
