Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a diagonal cutting cutter device for diagonally cutting food materials such as kamaboko and cheese into predetermined lengths;
This invention relates to an apparatus for producing crab claw meat-like food using the same.

The applicant of the prior art first efficiently cuts soft food materials such as kamaboko and cheese (hereinafter simply referred to as materials) diagonally into predetermined lengths, and then arranges the cut materials in a constant posture and discharges them. A diagonal cutter device capable of cutting the diagonal was proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-127293).

This device is equipped with a supply conveyor that continuously supplies the material before cutting, a discharge conveyor that discharges the material after cutting, and a rotary cutter disposed between the two.The supply conveyor uses a knife. The conveyor belt is folded back diagonally so that the discharge conveyor runs at right angles to this knife edge. Therefore, when the rotary cutter is rotated parallel to the folded portion of the supply conveyor, the material on the supply conveyor is diagonally cut into a predetermined length by the rotary cutter, and can be neatly aligned and discharged on the discharge conveyor.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the prior art, the conveyor belt of the supply conveyor is folded back inadvertently through the knife joint, which greatly reduces its durability and shortens its service life unreasonably. The drawback was that it was too short. In addition, when the conveyor belt is folded back by the knife, its front side and back side are reversed, so the material conveying surface becomes the contact surface with the belt pulley, making it possible to maintain a specified level of cleanliness as a food machine. There was also the problem of difficulty.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to extend the service life of the supply conveyor by sequentially translating a plurality of round belts of different lengths and winding both ends of the belts around a common drive pulley and individual driven pulleys to form a supply conveyor. To provide a diagonal cutter device which does not unduly shorten the period and can easily maintain a predetermined level of cleanliness, and a device for producing crab nail meat-like food using the same.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the first invention according to this application has one end wound around a common driving pulley, and the other end wound around individual driven pulleys, so that lengths are sequentially The gist thereof is to include a supply conveyor formed by translating a plurality of different round belts, a rotary cutter that passes in close proximity to a driven pulley, and a discharge conveyor that is continuous to the supply conveyor via the rotary cutter.

The gist of the configuration of the second invention is that a pair of diagonal cutter devices according to the first invention are disposed facing each other via a collection conveyor, and the diagonal cutter devices are operated synchronously.

Note that a collecting device may be attached to the collecting conveyor.

Effect When according to the configuration of the first invention, the supply conveyor sequentially wraps one end of the round belt having different lengths around the common drive pulley and the other end around the individual driven pulley, so that the driven pulley side of the supply conveyor According to the length of the round belt, the driven pulleys are arranged diagonally in a straight line with respect to the traveling direction of the supply conveyor. Therefore, the rotary cutter that passes in the vicinity of the driven pulleys arranged in this way can diagonally cut the material that is continuously conveyed on the supply conveyor into a fixed size, and the discharge conveyor cuts the cut material. Can be transported in line.

According to the second invention, the materials cut by each diagonal cutter device are discharged onto the collection conveyor in synchronization with each other, so that by bringing them into close contact, it is easy to make crab claw-like food. be able to.

By attaching a collecting device to the collecting conveyor, it is possible to easily automate the process of bringing the cut materials into close contact with each other.

The discharge conveyor 15 includes a conveyor belt 15a that runs flat on the upper surface, a guide plate 15b that regulates the running form of the conveyor belt 15a, and a tension pulley 15C.
, 15C, and a drive pulley 15d (Fig. 3).

One end of the discharge conveyor 15 passes through the rotary cutter 14,
It faces the driven pulleys 13c, 13c, . . . of the supply conveyor 13, and the other end extends to the upper surface of the collection conveyor 21.

The collecting conveyor 21 connects the conveyor belt 21a to the pulley 2.
1b and 21b (FIGS. 3 and 4), the upstream side thereof is perpendicular to the downstream side of the discharge conveyor 15.15, and the downstream side is provided with a collection device 30.

In addition, a conveyor belt 21a is located near the fruit matching device 30.
Guide boos 921C and 2IC are provided to push up and deform the body from both sides. Further, downstream of the collecting conveyor 21, an auxiliary collecting conveyor 22 having the same type as the discharge conveyor 15 and having a conveyor belt 22a1, a guide plate 22b, a tension pulley 22C122c, and a drive pulley 22d is continuously arranged. The collection device 30 includes a pair of small guide conveyors 31.31 that run almost in contact with the upper surface of the auxiliary collection conveyor 22, and a sickle-shaped guide piece 32 disposed between the guide conveyors 31.31. Preparation, guide conveyor 31
．． 31 is driven by a common motor 33 to run in the same direction as the collection conveyor 21 and the auxiliary collection conveyor 22 so as to be substantially parallel to both sides of the guide piece 32 . Note that one guide conveyor 31 is connected to a motor 33, and the other guide conveyor 31 is connected to the motor 33 via gears 33a, 33a that mesh with each other.

In addition, the auxiliary supply conveyor 11.11, the relay roller 16.
16, Auxiliary supply conveyor 12.12, Supply conveyor 13
．． 13 are all driven at the same traveling speed, and the discharge conveyors 15, 15 are also driven at the same speed. It is therefore assumed that the cutter device 10.10, including the rotary cutter 14.14, is operated synchronously as a whole.

Now, when materials M and M made of fish cakes formed into fibers in the longitudinal direction are continuously supplied by the auxiliary supply conveyor 11.11.12.12 and the supply conveyor 13.13 (FIG. 5), Materials M and M are indicated by arrow Kl in the same figure.
, and are cut diagonally with each rotation of the rotary cutter 14.14, resulting in short intermediate products Ml, Ml
...and is discharged onto the discharge conveyor 15.15 (arrow 2 in the figure, direction K2). In this way,
intermediate product M1 discharged onto discharge conveyor 15.15;
Ml... can be cut to a predetermined length by appropriately setting the running speed of the supply conveyor 13.13 and the rotational speed of the rotary cutter 14.14. It can be discharged in an orderly manner in a certain direction. Also, power.

Since the evening equipment 10.10 is operated synchronously, a pair of intermediate products Mt, Ml... are transferred from the discharge conveyor 15.15 onto the collection conveyor 21, as shown in the figure. It is transported in three directions as indicated by the arrows.

The pair of intermediate products Ml, Ml are then collected by the collecting device 30
The final product M2 is obtained. That is, the intermediate products Ml and Ml pass through the guide piece 32 so as to be sandwiched by the guide conveyors 31. can be discharged (
4 directions shown by the arrows in the same figure).

The final product M2 manufactured in this way is a pair of intermediate products Ml whose fibers run diagonally around the center,
