Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a food slicer suitable for cutting meat such as ham.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as such a food slicer, for example, a table provided with a rotary blade (round blade) for slicing meat is provided with a polishing device having a rotary grindstone for polishing the rotary blade. In the meat slicer, a box-shaped cover having an opening in the direction in which the abrasive powder generated when the rotary blade is polished is scattered to cover the grindstone is provided, and the opening and the dust collecting that contains the abrasive powder are provided. A box and a dust collecting structure for accommodating the abrasive powder in the dust collecting box by connecting them with a pipe with a fan interposed therebetween, scraping off the meat debris adhering to the rotary blade, in the same manner as the abrasive powder. There was a meat slicer characterized in that a scraper (scraping piece) for accommodating in a dust collection box was provided in the box-shaped cover (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-39397).

In addition, the rotary knife that is erected on one side of the machine base and rotates, and while traveling back and forth on the machine base with the front end surface parallel to the blade surface of this rotary knife, the loaded meat chunks from the front end surface In a meat slicer equipped with a meat box adapted to be fed out and cut into the rotary blades, an opening is provided at a lower edge on the outer side of the blade cover surrounding the outer circumference of the rotating surface of the rotary blade, and the outside of this opening A scraping member (scraping piece) is slidably inserted into the opening so that the grip portion is exposed to the lower part of the rotary blade and is inserted along the upper surface of the machine base to the lower part of the rotary blade. There was a meat slicer in which a waste meat discharge port was provided at the bottom of the above-mentioned blade cover which is directly below the portion (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-39395).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, among the above-mentioned conventional examples, the actual development of Sho 61-3939
In the meat slicer disclosed in No. 7 publication,
Each time, unless the scraper (scraping piece) is manually pushed in the desired direction, the scraping work of the meat scraps in contact with the rotary blade cannot be done, so that the scraping work is troublesome and the worker takes time. When such scraping work is neglected, the meat will be cut while the meat remains attached to the surface of the rotary blade, so the sharpness of the rotary blade becomes dull, and the appearance of the meat cut surface is reduced. It had a defect that it was damaged.

Moreover, when scraping off such meat scraps, the scraper (scraping piece) that has been separated must be manually operated so as to come into contact with the surface of the rotating rotary blade, so that the scraper must be removed. Since the repulsive force and vibration due to the rotation of the rotary blade when it is brought into contact with the rotary blade is transmitted to the hand holding the scraper, the scraper is brought into contact with the surface of the rotary blade with a constant pressure contact force. It is difficult to do so, and there is a problem that it becomes a scraping work of uneven meat scraps.

Further, even in the meat slicer disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-39395, scraping work of meat scraps cannot be performed unless the scraping member (scraping piece) is slid in a desired direction. In addition, due to the fact that meat scraps may accumulate inside the scraping member, the scraping member located below the rotary knife via the grip portion that is exposed from the outside of the cutter cover to the outside of the opening. Unless the tip is pulled close to the outer side of the blade cover, the meat waste cannot be discharged to the outside of the machine.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the related art. As in the conventional case, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of arbitrarily pushing and sliding the scraping piece each time, and it is possible to perform a constant pressure contact. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food slicer that can easily and smoothly scrape off meat scraps with force.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and achieve the intended purpose, the structure which is the gist of the present invention is to cut a circular rotary knife having a flat surface to be cut. A food slicer that reciprocally moves the food to be cut and cuts the food with the rotary blade, wherein the blade cover covers at least the cutting edge of the rotary blade, and a scraping piece attached in proximity to the blade cover. And a scrap removal unit for removing the scraps of the flat surface by bringing the scraping piece into contact with the flat surface of the rotary blade, and directing the removed scraps in a direction of excluding the scraps to the outside of the rotary blade. In the food slicer in which the tip of the scraping piece is arranged, the scraping piece is positioned and fixed to a bracket held by the blade covering body so that the base portion of the scraping piece is brought into contact with the blade covering body. And the tip of the scraping piece Side
The food slicer is formed by bending the flat surface of the rotary blade so as to always elastically contact it.
