Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a slicing device for meat, etc., and particularly to a slicing device useful for diagonally slicing fish such as smoked salmon.

[Prior Art] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-231940 has been known as a device capable of diagonally slicing fish and meat, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-93297 has been known as a machine for cutting slabs of cheese, sausage, etc. Furthermore, Utility Model Publication No. 59-32552 is known as a transfer device for a meat cutter.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The device of JP-A No. 61-231940 is equipped with a fish and meat supply mechanism, a cutting blade mechanism, a holding mechanism, and an alignment mechanism in the device body. A cutting board member with fish meat fixed thereon is slidably mounted on a support plate whose angle can be adjusted from horizontal to vertical, and the cutting board member is moved intermittently by a slight width, the angle of the support plate is adjusted, and the cutting blade mechanism is moved up and down. Because the fish meat is sliced thinly using three movable mechanisms, the mechanism is complicated and expensive, and it is necessary to adjust these moving mechanisms to slice the fish meat. , the operation becomes extremely complicated.

The device disclosed in JP-A No. 59-93297 has a mechanism in which the rear end of the slab is held by a claw device provided on the inclined slab feeding device and the slab is cut from the front end by a circular blade. However, the slab is cut by intermittently pushing the slab toward a circular blade using a claw device, and since the circular blade is set at right angles to the slab feeding device, the slab is cut at almost right angles to the longitudinal direction. It is difficult to slice the slab diagonally.

Further, the mechanism for moving the slab toward the circular blade relies on mechanical drive by a threaded spindle, which makes the entire mechanism complicated.

The device of Utility Model Publication No. 59-32552 holds a meat lump with a meat holding device provided on a carriage, moves the carriage back and forth along a round blade provided at one end of the carriage, and The meat lump holding device is configured to be moved back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the round blade, and a mechanism in which a plurality of protrusions are formed in the moving direction of the meat lump is shown on the top surface of the carriage. However, since the meat lump holding device only holds part of the meat lump, it may be difficult to smoothly transfer the meat lump in the direction of the round blade. Since it is set perpendicular to the surface, it is not intended to cut meat at an angle.

Therefore, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-93297 and Utility Model Publication No. 59-
None of the devices in No. 32552 can cut fish meat such as smoked salmon diagonally.

The present invention differs from the prior art described above in that it provides an apparatus for diagonally cutting fish meat with a significantly simple structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the slicing device of the present invention includes a fixed round blade that rotates while holding the plate surface vertically, and a slicing device that rotates around the base end near one surface of the round blade. A mounting table for an object to be sliced that can be rotated and tilted while maintaining a predetermined range of inclination angle in a vertical direction from the horizontal direction, and can reciprocate in the horizontal direction along one side of the round blade, and a top surface of the mounting table. , a chucking means for the object to be sliced that can grasp the rear part of the object to be sliced and gradually lower it toward the round blade side by its own weight; The base end of the mounting table has a built-up part that is curved from the surface to the edge, and a certain gap is formed between the tip of this built-up part and the round blade. It is characterized by being configured as follows.

Specifically, the above-mentioned mounting base has a plurality of protrusions in the longitudinal direction, and a surface of the upper push plate facing the mounting base also has a plurality of protrusions in the same direction. The slicing device according to item 1.

[Operation] In the slicing device of the present invention, the object to be sliced is set on the mounting table.

That is, the upper holding means is unset, the object to be sliced is placed on the mounting table, and the operating lever of the chucking means is operated to chuck the rear part of the object to be sliced.

When this checking is completed, the upper presser is returned to its original position to complete the setting.

Next, the support rod is operated to move the arm connected to it to adjust the inclination angle of the mounting table, the round blade is activated, and the carriage is reciprocated to start slicing.

During slicing, the chuck means gradually descends under its own weight as the object to be sliced is sliced, and can supply the object to be sliced with a predetermined thickness to the round blade.

During this time, the width of the slice is checked and the inclination angle of the mounting table is adjusted. By increasing the inclination angle, more diagonal cuts can be made and wider slices can be obtained; conversely, by decreasing the inclination angle, This results in narrow slices.

If the object to be sliced is thin or slender, the inclination angle of the mounting table can be increased to obtain wider slices.

The sliced slices are placed on a take-out conveyor in a half-overlapping manner using a known "hataki" method to prevent them from adhering to the round blade, and then taken to the packaging process.

The protrusions provided on this mounting table reduce the frictional resistance with the object to be sliced, and cooperate with the protrusions provided on the upper pushing plate to prevent the object to be sliced from moving sideways when it is pushed by the round blade during cutting. It is possible to prevent "accidents".

In addition, the thickness of the sliced piece may change inadvertently due to changes in the inclination angle of the mounting table, such as the gap between the built-up part formed at the base end of the mounting table becoming narrower or wider, and the gap between the plate and the round blade becoming narrower or wider. This problem is solved by forming this built-up part so that it coincides with the concentric circle of a circle drawn with the center of the support shaft of the mounting table as the axis. I can do it.

[Example] The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing an example of the slicing device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view illustrating the structure of the mounting table and upper press plate of the device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the mounting table base. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the structure of the end portion and the round blade.

The slicing device 1 is roughly divided into a round blade 2 for cutting the object to be sliced A, a mounting table 3 on which the object to be sliced A is placed, and a first blade supporting the mounting table 3.
It consists of a carriage 6 that reciprocates in the front-rear direction in the figure.

The round blade 2 is fixed so that the plate surface is vertical,
It rotates around a rotating shaft to cut the object A to be sliced from above.

The mounting table 3 is formed of a rectangular plate-like body, and the base end near one side of the round blade 2 is mounted on the carriage 6, which reciprocates in the front-back direction in FIG. 1, by a support shaft 12. The mounting table 3 is configured to be able to rotate from horizontal to perpendicular to the carriage 6 about this support shaft 12 to take a predetermined inclination angle.

A support rod 8 is attached to the top surface of the carriage 6 and is supported by a bearing and can be moved back and forth from side to side in the figure by an electric moving mechanism (the moving mechanism is not shown). Approximately in the center is equipped with an arm 9 which is rotatably attached at one end and rotatably attached to the mounting table 3 at the other end, and by moving the support rod 8 from side to side, the mounting table 3 is supported as described above. It is configured so that it can be tilted at a predetermined tilt angle about the axis 12.

It is desirable that this inclination angle can be adjusted within a range of 45° to 70° from the horizontal.

The mounting table 3 is equipped with chucking means for grasping the rear part of the object A to be sliced, for example, the tail when the object A to be sliced is smoked salmon. (not shown) and is attached to a guide shaft 7, and is configured to successively slide toward the round blade side along the guide shaft 7 due to its own weight.

Note that 11 is a lever for chucking and releasing chucking.

Further, an upper presser means 5 having an upper presser plate 10 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting table 3, slightly closer to the round blade 2 than the center, and the upper presser means 5 presses the mounting table 3 from one side edge in the longitudinal direction. It is set on the upper surface of the table 3 and can be unset.

The tip of the upper pressing plate 10 is placed on the mounting table 3, and is adapted to come into contact with the upper surface of the object to be sliced A whose rear part is chucked, in an appropriate pressing state.

As is particularly clear in FIG. 2, a plurality of skate edge-like protrusions 3a are provided in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the mounting table 3, and the lower surface of the upper pressing plate 10 provided on the upper pressing means 5. In other words, a plurality of skate edge-shaped protrusions 10a are provided in the same direction on the surface opposite to the upper surface of the mounting table 3, and these protrusions 3a
The protrusion 10a prevents lateral wobbling, commonly known as "flare", during cutting of the object A to be sliced, and also allows smooth feeding of the object to be sliced due to its own weight in the direction of the round blade 2. It is.

Furthermore, as is particularly clear in Fig. 3, the mounting table 3
A built-up part 13 is formed at the base end of the base end, and is curved from the surface side of the base end to the end edge. It is formed with an arc-shaped build-up that coincides with the concentric circles of a circle, and this build-up portion 13 and the round blade 2 form a constant gap B.

Therefore, due to this built-up part 13, the mounting table 3
Even if the inclination angle of the round blade 2 changes, the gap B between the round blade 2 and the round blade 2 can always be maintained at a constant distance.

This slicing device 1 is equipped with a so-called "hataki" means that peels off sliced meat pieces when they adhere to the round blade, and a take-out conveyor that automatically stacks and arranges the sliced meat pieces. omitted.

The use of this slicing device 1 will be explained as follows.

The illustrated slicing apparatus 1 sets smoked salmon A (same reference numerals as the sliced object A) at a temperature of -6 DEG C. to -10 DEG C. on a mounting table 3 as an object A to be sliced.

That is, the upper pressing means 5 is unset, the smoked salmon A is placed on the mounting table 3, and the tail of the smoked salmon A is checked by operating the operating lever 11 of the checking means 4.

When this check is completed, the upper presser means 5 is returned to its original position to complete the setting.

Next, the supporting rod 8 is operated to move the arm 9 linked thereto to adjust the inclination angle of the mounting table 3 to a predetermined angle, the round blade 2 is activated, and the carriage 6 is reciprocated to start slicing.

During slicing, the chucking means 4 is successively lowered by its own weight as the smoked salmon A is sliced, so that the smoked salmon A of a predetermined thickness can be fed toward the round blade 2.

During this time, check the width of the slice and
By adjusting the inclination angle, by increasing the inclination angle, the number of diagonal cuts increases and a wide slice can be obtained, and conversely, by decreasing the inclination angle, a narrow slice can be obtained.

Since the portion near the tail of smoked salmon A is thin and slender, the inclination angle of the mounting table 3 can be increased to obtain a wide slice.

The sliced pieces are taken out to the packaging process while being placed on a take-out conveyor so that they do not adhere to the round blade 2 by a known "hataki" means (not shown), and are placed about half stacked on top of each other on a take-out conveyor.

Here, the protrusions 3a provided on the mounting table 3 reduce the frictional resistance with the smoked salmon A, and together with the protrusions 10a provided on the upper pressing plate 10, enable smooth movement of the smoked salmon A. It is possible to prevent so-called "abare", where A is pushed out by the round blade 2 during cutting and moves laterally.

Furthermore, by forming the built-up part 13 so as to be concentric with the circle drawn with the center of the support shaft 12 as the axis, even if the inclination angle of the mounting table 3 is changed, the built-up part 13 remains unchanged. The gap between the tip of the mounting table 3 and the round blade 2 can be kept constant, making slicing easier.

[Effects of the Invention] The slicing device of the present invention includes a round blade, a carriage whose inclination is adjustable and can reciprocate with respect to the round blade, a mounting table supported on the carriage, and a chucking means and a carriage on the mounting table. The simple structure of attaching an upper press means that the object to be sliced can be sliced diagonally by its own weight to create wide pieces of meat, so it can be used most effectively for slicing fish meat such as smoked salmon. can.

In particular, this slicing device fixes the round blade for slicing, moves the object to be sliced on the mounting table in the direction of the round blade by the weight of the inclined mounting table, and, except for the rotation of the round blade, substantially This device is excellent in that it is capable of easily and reliably slicing objects to be sliced, such as smoked salmon, diagonally into thin slices by driving only the reciprocating movement of the carriage.

Further, since this slicing device does not have a complicated mechanism, it can be manufactured at low cost and has extremely high utility value.
