Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a bamboo ring cutting device for cutting bamboo rings and supplying the bamboo rings as a material for making other foods.

Technical Background Bamboo rings are generally sold as finished products, and therefore, a bamboo ring cutting device as described above has not been developed.

Purpose of the invention The object of the invention is to provide a bamboo ring cutting device that cuts a bamboo ring along one line in its length direction and cuts it into a single rectangular piece. be.

Cutting open bamboo rings can be used to make new foods, such as wrapping burdock root or minced meat and frying them in oil.

Structure of the invention In other words, the bamboo ring cutting device according to the invention includes a transfer device that transports the bamboo ring in the length direction; a cutting device that cuts the bamboo wheel along the length thereof so as to cut the bamboo wheel; positioned downstream of the cutting device in the direction of transport of the bamboo wheel, and having an upstream end sized to fit into a hole in the bamboo wheel being fed;
The width increases toward the downstream side, and the bamboo ring is provided with a push-opening member that engages with the inner wall of the hole in the bamboo ring and pushes the bamboo ring open as the bamboo ring moves downstream.

If you simply push open the bamboo ring with a push-opening device,
Its restoring force allows it to easily return to its original cylindrical shape. Therefore,
In order to actually use this device, it would be common practice to install a device or the like to make cuts along the length of the bamboo ring after it has been pushed open, thereby reducing the restoring force of the bamboo ring.

Embodiments Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

The bamboo ring cutting device 10 according to the illustrated embodiment includes a base 12, and an endless belt conveyor 16, which is provided on the base and serves as a device for transporting the bamboo ring along its length (in the direction of arrow A). , a cutting device 19 equipped with a disc-shaped rotary cutter 18 for cutting the transported bamboo bamboo along the length direction of the bamboo bamboo so as to cut one part of the entire circumference of the annular cross-sectional shape; A push-opening member 20 is set on the downstream side of the device, and engages with a hole in the transferred bamboo ring to push it open into a single rectangular piece, and a push-opening member 20 is provided with an opening in the width direction of the pushed open bamboo ring. The cutting device 24 includes a plurality of disc-shaped rotary cutters 22 for making cuts. In the figure, a bamboo ring holding device 26 is set on the upstream side of the cutting device 19, and a pair of holding plates 28, 28 are set on the upstream end of the conveyor 16 with a distance approximately equal to the width of the bamboo ring. This is for feeding bamboo rings fed to the upstream end of the conveyor 16 by hand or from a bamboo ring feeding device (not shown) to the cutting device 26 while preventing them from falling off the conveyor.

The rotating cutter 18 of the cutting device 19 is supported by a cutter support member 31 extending horizontally above the base 12 from a vertical side wall 30 fixed to the side of the base 12 . That is, the cutter support member 31 is
As shown in FIG. 3, there is a pair of bearings 32 located on both sides of the rotary cutter 18, and these bearings rotatably support the rotating shaft 18' of the rotary cutter 18. A pulley 33 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 18, and is connected to a motor (not shown) via a belt 33'. Cutting device 19
has a pair of belt conveyors 36 on both sides of the rotary cutter 18 for holding down bamboo rings to be cut from both sides. Each conveyor includes a pair of pulleys 38 set apart from each other at a predetermined interval in the direction of transporting the bamboo wheels, and an endless belt 40 hooked thereon, with inner running portions 4 of both belts 40
0' are provided at intervals such that the bamboo ring is held between both sides with a slight holding force, and are driven downstream at the same speed. The driving force for these conveyors is provided by a motor (not shown) provided under the base, which drives the vertical rotation shaft 38' of the pulley 38.
added via . As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the rotary cutter 18 cuts the center of the upper part of the bamboo ring C and makes a cut in the inner wall surface of the center of the lower part.

The push-opening member 20 is made of sheet metal formed into an isosceles triangular shape, and its apex 20' is located approximately at the center between the downstream pulleys 38 of both belt conveyors 36 in the cutting device 19. It is set apart from the upper surface of the belt conveyor 16 for transporting bamboo rings by the thickness of the bamboo rings. In the illustrated embodiment, the hypotenuse and apex portions of the isosceles triangle are slightly curved upward, and the front portion near the apex is sloped upward toward the front to form the apex 20'.
It is set so that it enters the tip of the hole in the bamboo wheel C that is cut and transported. The rear end of the push-opening member 20 has a width that is approximately the same as the width of the bamboo ring that has been pushed open, and has a central extension portion 44 that extends rearward from the center.
and side extension portions 4 extending rearward from both sides.
6. The central extension part is the scoring device 2
The lateral extension 46 extends slightly rearwardly through the central underside of the device 24, and the lateral extension 46 terminates approximately in the center of the device 24. In the figure, 48 is a support member for supporting the push-opening member 20 at the above-mentioned required position.

The scoring device 24 has four disk-shaped rotary cutters 22 fixed to one rotary shaft 50, and the rotary shaft 50 extends horizontally from the vertical side wall 30, similar to the shaft of the rotary cutter of the cutting device 19. It is supported by an elongated support member 52. That is, the support member 52 has a pair of bearings 54, and the bearings rotatably support the rotating shaft 50 while the four cutters 22 are set between them. A pulley 56 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 50, and is rotated by a driving force transmitted via a belt 58 from a motor (not shown) provided below the base. The rotary cutters 22 are a set of two and are set to be located between each side extension part 46 and the center extension part 44, and are designed to make cuts at approximately equal intervals in the pushed open bamboo ring C. has been done.

The bamboo ring cutting device 10 has the following configuration, and a detailed explanation of its operation is not necessary.

The bamboo rings are fed onto the upstream end of the belt conveyor 16 and transported towards the downstream end. The bamboo ring to be transferred is first cut along its length at the annular upper center by a disk-shaped cutter 18, and one cut is made along its length on the inner wall surface at the lower center.

This bamboo ring is then transferred toward the push-opening member 20. The tip of the push-opening member is set to fit into the hole of the bamboo wheel being transferred, and since the push-opening member is made wider toward the rear, the bamboo wheel that is advanced along the member is , are pushed open between the push-opening member 20 and the belt conveyor 16.

The bamboo ring that has been pushed open is then cut into four rotating cutters 22.
Four cuts are made extending in the length direction, and a total of five cuts are made including the cuts made by the rotary cutter 18 to reach the rear end of the belt conveyor 16.

The bamboo rings discharged from the rear end are then sent to another processing step or supplied as raw material for food production elsewhere.

Effects As can be seen from the above explanation, according to the bamboo ring incision device according to the present invention, bamboo rings can be cut automatically and efficiently.
