Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a division cutting device for dividing these rod-shaped food bodies when producing foods such as buns and ohagi that have an inner packaging material wrapped therein or do not contain the inner packaging material.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a prior art relating to the present invention, a plurality of block pieces such as Japanese Patent Nos. 1607849 and 1563179 owned by the present applicant or Japanese Patent No. 121138 of 1992 are slid together to form a rod-shaped food product in a divided manner. It has technology and is widely practiced in the food processing industry. For example, in the molding of steamed buns, etc., carried out by implementing these techniques, it is intended to produce 20000 pieces or more per hour. At this time, these non-adhesive plastic block pieces are treated by applying solid or liquid lubricant to the sliding surface of the block pieces so that heating and baking do not occur due to temperature rise due to continuous operation. Is what is done. However, in this case, a complicated work of frequently replenishing the lubricant was required, and when the lubricant was exhausted, the baking immediately occurred and the operation was interrupted. As described above, under the present circumstances, the conventional technology cannot withstand a long-time continuous operation, and a technology capable of withstanding a long-time operation has been desired.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and can provide a device that does not cause any trouble even when it is continuously operated for a long time. Its structure is such that two adjacent surfaces are slid. An annular assembly is formed by abutting and engaging the sliding surfaces of three or more block pieces, each of which is a surface, and an annular housing for accommodating the annular assembly is provided, and the central enclosure of the annular assembly is bar-shaped. In a continuous dividing device for a rod-shaped food body that serves as a passage for the food body and repeats the transition from the open state to the closed extinction state, the adjacent block pieces slide as materials with different hardness. is there.

[0004]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described based on an embodiment. 1 is a block piece having a thickness a, and adjacent sides of the block piece 1 are sliding surfaces 2 and 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sliding surface 2 of the block piece according to the present embodiment has a convex portion along the entire length and a concave portion along the entire length of the sliding surface 3, and 6 pieces of this block piece 1 are prepared to form a convex sliding surface. The annular assembly 4 in which the moving surface 2 and the concave sliding surface 3 of the adjacent block piece 1 ′ are brought into contact with each other is mounted on the annular housing 10, and the central enclosed space 5 is closed and disappears. The block pieces 1, 1 '... are slid in the housing so that the transition to the state is repeated. The block piece 1 has a hole 8 penetrating the upper surface 6 and the lower surface 7 to reduce the wall thickness of the block piece. It is also possible to provide a hole having a depth as necessary without penetrating this hole. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a drive ring 11 is fitted in the annular housing 10, and drive pins 12 are attached to the drive ring 11 at predetermined intervals. 1 '... fits in the long hole 24.

The cam follower 13 attached to the lower portion of the drive ring 11 is engaged with the sliding groove 151 of the bar 15 protruding from the rod 14. One end of the rod 14 is axially attached to the arm 16, and the other end of the arm 16 is axially fitted to the base 17. A cam follower 18 attached at a predetermined position of the arm 16 is fitted in a groove of the cam 19. The base 17 is mounted on the main shaft 20 so as to be vertically movable. A cam 21 is attached to the main shaft, and a cam follower 23 attached to a base arm 22 extending from the base 17 is fitted in a groove of the cam 21. When the cam 21 rotates due to the rotation of the main shaft, the base 17 moves up and down via the cam follower 23 restricted by the groove. Below the annular housing 10, a receiving conveyor 40 is provided as a receiving stand for the divided food. The receiving conveyer 40 is used to convey the conveyer by a driving device (not shown) to carry out the product, and at the same time, it is vertically moved under the housing 10. The vertical movement of the receiving conveyor 40 is synchronized with the vertical movement of the housing 10 and the opening / closing timing of the annular assembly 4, and by being adjustable, the shapes of the top and bottom of the divided products are supplementarily adjusted. be able to.

In the present invention, a block material made of a resin material having different hardness is prepared, and these are adjacently brought into contact with each other and slid. By doing so, seizure of the sliding surface of the resin is prevented. In the examples, as the resin material, one of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (Shore hardness D67) and the other polyacetal (Rockwell hardness R118) are prepared. It should be noted that the high-molecular polyethylene used contains a lubricant. It was found that there is a large difference in action and effect when the present invention example is compared with the case where the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene of the prior art is slid. The table below shows the comparison.

[0007]

As can be seen from this table, when the conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials are brought into contact with each other and slid on each other, the sliding surfaces may be baked and welded in a short time after the operation. Although it becomes impossible to operate, this problem has been solved in the present invention. It is presumed that the reason is that different types of materials are used for the sliding surface to eliminate the seizure due to the welding of the interface structure that slides by making the surface hardness different.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention eliminates the operation stop due to the baking of the plastic material, etc. by abutting and engaging the block piece with different materials and sliding it, and the continuous operation of the divided cutting of the food rod-shaped material. The available time can be greatly extended and the production efficiency of the food processing industry can be improved.
