[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is a frozen food cutting for cutting frozen rod-shaped meat such as fish meat and other foods (hereinafter simply referred to as "frozen food") into a plate shape (fillet shape, steak shape, etc.). It relates to the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a frozen food cutting device of this type, a plurality of cylindrical hoppers that rotate in a horizontal direction are arranged on a fixed table, and fixed in correspondence with a part of the rotation path of the cylindrical hoppers. A height-adjustable lifting table is disposed in a notch formed in the table, and a trailing edge of the lifting table (in this specification, "front" and "rear" refer to the front in the rotational direction of the cylindrical hopper, respectively). 2), for example, in Fig. 2, the cylindrical hopper rotates clockwise, so point a is "in front of" point b.) And the corresponding edge on the fixed table has a thin blade in the gap. A band saw having an operating portion (upper saw blade) is used. In such a conventional frozen food cutting device, the frozen food loaded into the tubular hopper descends in the tubular hopper by its own weight, and the lower end of the frozen food is exposed below the lower end of the tubular hopper. When the frozen food comes into contact with the upper surface and rotates with the tubular hopper, and when the frozen food eventually reaches the lifting table, which is one step lower than the fixed table, the frozen food further descends and its lower end contacts the upper surface of the lifting table. It rotates, and the lower end of the frozen food is cut into a plate by the action portion of the band saw.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional frozen food cutting device, when the frozen food put into the tubular hopper is cut and becomes thin, the entire frozen food is at the lower end of the tubular hopper. There is a problem that it escapes from the table and is left on the lifting table (see reference numeral 12 'in FIG. 3). That is, in the conventional frozen food cutting device, when the thickness of the frozen food becomes less than a certain value, it can no longer be cut. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to push frozen food to the vicinity of a band saw by a frozen food pusher attached to a cylindrical hopper. That is, in the frozen food cutting device according to the present invention, a plurality of cylindrical hoppers that rotate in the horizontal direction are arranged on a fixed table, and the fixed table is formed so as to correspond to a part of the rotation path of the cylindrical hopper. A frozen food cutting device in which a height-adjustable lifting table is arranged in the notch, and an action portion in a thin-saw band saw is arranged in a gap between a rear edge of the lifting table and a corresponding edge of the fixed table. At
Each of the tubular hoppers is provided with a frozen food pushing tool that pushes the frozen food exposed at the lower end of the tubular hopper in the traveling direction so as to be vertically rotatable, and holds the frozen food pushing tool at a position where the frozen food is pushed. A pusher position holding means is provided, and a push-up member is provided from at least immediately before the action portion of the band saw to above the action portion of the band saw in the rotational trajectory of the frozen food pusher,
It is characterized in that the frozen food pushing tool is pushed upward by a pushing member immediately before the action portion of the band saw so as not to come into contact with the band saw.

It is desirable that the push-up member extends from immediately before the action portion of the band saw to further extend in the rotational direction along the rotational path of the frozen food pushing tool to immediately before the lifting table.

[0006]

In the frozen food cutting device according to the present invention, the frozen food loaded into the tubular hopper descends in the tubular hopper by its own weight, and the lower end of the frozen food is exposed below the lower end of the tubular hopper and fixed table. When the frozen food comes on the lifting table which is one step lower than the fixed table while rotating with the cylindrical hopper in contact with the upper surface of the frozen food, the frozen food further descends and its lower end contacts the upper surface of the lifting table. The lower end of the frozen food is cut into a plate by the action part of the band saw. Therefore, in the present invention, the frozen food exposed below the lower end of the tubular hopper is pushed in the traveling direction by the frozen food pushing tool at least while moving on the lifting table, so that the frozen food escapes from the tubular hopper. It will not be left on the lift table. Therefore, the frozen food that has been cut and thinned can still be cut. The frozen food pusher is attached to each tubular hopper so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, but a pusher position holding means for holding the frozen food pusher at a position where frozen food is pushed is provided. Therefore, the frozen food pushing tool can push the frozen food with sufficient force in the traveling direction. Further, the action part of the band saw is located above the upper surface of the lifting table, but the frozen food pusher is arranged at least immediately before the action part of the band saw on the rotation trajectory of the frozen food pusher and above the action part of the band saw. Since the push-up member is provided, the push-up member pushes upward against the force of the pusher position holding means immediately before the action portion of the band saw, and thus does not contact the action portion of the band saw. When the push-up member is further extended from immediately before the action portion of the band saw to the direction immediately before the lifting table along the rotational trajectory of the frozen food push device, the frozen food push device passes above the action portion of the band saw. After that, it continues to move upward without being brought into contact with the upper surface of the fixed table while being pushed up by the pushing-up member, and is rotated downward by its own weight just before the lifting table where the pushing-up member disappears. The frozen food is held in a position to be pushed, and the frozen food exposed below the lower end of the cylindrical hopper on the lifting table is pushed again in the traveling direction.
