Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To slice a material meat block which is soft and difficult to be fed easily such as a flesh meat, as well as to feed the material continuously, by improving the cutter rotation of a chopper slicer furnishing a comma-shaped bead form edge, and the drive control of the material feeding. SOLUTION: By attaching a cutter system E in which the material feeding is carried out continuously by controlling the rotation number R of a cutter and the speed S of the meat feeding conveyer proportionally, and the slicing number per time and the thickness of the slice pieces can be set freely, the edge length of a comma-shaped bead form cutter 1 is increased, and the scope of the cutting angle to cut the material by the cutter in one rotation is expanded, so as to carry out the cutting operation closer to a drawing cutting. Consequently, a material of a soft quality is made possible to slice at a high speed without hurting the quality of the material.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a machine tool equipped with a bevel-shaped blade having a blade surface which rotates one side vertically, supplies a mass of material from one side of the rotating surface of the blade, and supplies the blade to the blade from the other side. A chopper slicer configured to carry out a cut slice is characterized in that a material is continuously supplied.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional slicers of this type include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 6-61493 and Japanese Utility Model Application
No. 61494 has a horizontal slicer.

[0003]

Conventionally, a chopper slicer of this kind intermittently drives a material supply device installed in a meat box provided on the right side of a muzzle-shaped blade in the drawing in synchronization with the cutting cycle of the blade. In this method, the blade which has passed the front of the meat box is intermittently supplied until the blade next reaches the front of the meat box, and cuts out the length of the fed material. In a slicer in which cutting and feeding are alternately performed in this manner, in order to take time to feed the material during one rotation of the blade, the time interval until the blade finishes cutting the material is necessarily short. Cutting, or chop. For this reason, in conventional slicers, frozen meat or meat whose temperature is controlled to half-thaw is relatively sliced by this slicer, and the meat is soft and sticky like raw meat, making it difficult to send, It was supposed to be unsuitable for slicing materials that were not suitable for quality shock cutting. However, since this kind of slicer has a high slicing speed, it has been a problem to be solved to make it possible to slice soft meat such as raw meat at high speed without losing quality by utilizing this characteristic.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a bevel-shaped cutting tool which rotates vertically in one direction, feeds a mass of meat from one side of the rotating surface of the cutting tool, and cuts the slice into cutting tools from the other side. In a chopper slicer designed to take out pieces, the rotation speed of the blade is constantly detected, and the material is continuously supplied to the rotating blade while the material feed speed of the material feed motor is controlled in proportion to the rotation speed of the blade. The present invention provides a chopper slicer characterized by obtaining slice pieces having a set number and thickness per set time.

In the slicer of the present invention, the material feeding speed of the motor for feeding the material toward the rotating blade is controlled in proportion to the number of rotations of the blade, so that the slice speed changes according to the material feeding speed following the slice speed. Thus, a slice having a set thickness can be obtained. In addition, since the feed is stopped until the rotation speed of the blade reaches the set rotation speed, wasteful material is omitted, and a slice having a set thickness and high accuracy can be obtained.

Further, the material feed of the present slicer, which is controlled in proportion to the rotation speed of the blade, continues to be supplied as long as the blade is rotating at a set speed. In particular, it was not necessary to take a rotation angle for supplying the material, so that a blade having a wide cutting angle range in which the cutting edge was cut into the material could be used.
Therefore, in the conventional slicer, the cutting was chop-shaped, but in this slicer, the blade length is increased in the circumferential direction, and the cutting edge of the bevel-shaped cutting tool that cuts the material close to the cutting shape It can be used as a slicer for soft, hard-to-feed meat, such as raw meat. The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems as described above.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this chopper slicer T
On the machine base F, a bevel-shaped blade 1 having a rotating surface formed vertically and rotating on one side is provided. The meat has a front end opened at the lower part of the rotating surface of the blade 1 on the right hand side of a blade frame 2 covering the blade 1. Box 3
Is provided as a supply side of the raw material meat, and the left-hand side is defined as a carry-out side of the sliced pieces.

[0008] The blade 1 is provided with a driving unit 4 provided at the upper portion on the carry-out side.
The blade shaft 5 that rotates following the blade motor M1 installed inside
It is attached to the tip of and rotates one side.

The meat box 3 is provided with a well-known interdigital belt conveyor 6a at the front end thereof as the meat feeding conveyor 6, and a roller conveyor 6b is connected to the rear thereof, and the upper part of the belt conveyor 6a is rocked. A well-known roller type presser conveyor 6c which is freely fitted in the meat box 3 is provided to suppress the vibration of the material and feed the material together with the lower conveyor 6a.

Each conveyor 6a, 6b, 6c on the material feed side
Is driven by a material feeding motor (servo motor) M2 installed at the lower part of the machine base F, as shown in the figure, and continuously feeds the material toward the left side in the figure.

In the illustrated embodiment, the cutter 1, the cutter motor M1, and the material feeding motor M2 are attached to the slicer T and their driving is controlled by a chopper system E configured as shown in FIG. Is done.

In an embodiment, the chopper system E
Is provided with a sequencer 7 comprising a CPU, an input unit, a 75P1 (speed control unit), an output unit, and an A / D conversion unit. The cutter 1 and the cutter motor M1 are connected to the output unit via an INV (inverter). The output unit uses this system E
The blade motor M1 and the blade 1 are rotated at the set rotation speed R (rpm) based on the seven-step speed command set in the above, while the rotation proportional voltage detected by INV is A / D.
It is converted and introduced into the sequencer 7. In addition, an operation signal and the like from the touch panel 8 are input to the input unit of the sequencer 7.

The processing performed by the sequencer 7 (the processing of material feeding and the rotation of the blade) will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3. When the slicer T starts, the sequencer 7 is selected from among seven stages that have been set. The blade rotation (M1) is turned on at the blade rotation speed (R), and a voltage proportional to the rotation of the blade is input by the A / D card of the sequencer. Next, it is determined whether or not the rotation of the blade has reached the selected blade rotation speed (R), and when the rotation speed reaches the predetermined rotation speed (R), the material feeding motor M2 is driven and sliced. The servo motor M2 starts the material feed at the feed speed (S) based on the command sent from 75P1 (speed control unit) according to the thickness setting. Further, the sequencer 7 checks ON and OFF of the blade rotation every one rotation of the blade, feeds back the rotation of the blade to ON, and continues the slice operation by repeating the above.

The slicer T constructed as described above
Changes the material feed speed [servo motor feed speed (S)] according to the change in the number of slices per time performed on the touch panel 8 [blade rotation speed (R)]. The reverse order can also be changed.

As described above, this slicer T is
The rotation speed R and the feed speed S of the meat feeding conveyor 6 can be freely changed, and a proportional control circuit was used to slice the material to the set thickness.

The chopper system E attached as described above converts the analog signal output from the inverter for setting the number of revolutions of the blade motor M1 from analog to digital and takes it into a sequencer. The speed S of the feed conveyor 6 is calculated, and the servo motor M of the driving source is calculated.
Transfer data to 2.

Further, in this slicer T, the meat feeding conveyor 6 is continuously fed, and the speed of the blade motor M1 and the material feeding servomotor M2 is set to the blade rotation speed (R).
= Servo motor feed speed (S) x 1 / a, so the phase delay (speed difference) of 1 / a is the slice thickness.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the material feed is controlled in proportion to the rotation speed of the blade so that the supply is continued as long as the blade is rotating at the set speed. It is not necessary to take a rotation angle for material supply in one rotation as in the case of a shaped blade, so that a blade with a wide cutting angle range in which the cutting edge is cut into the material can be used, and a circle can be used. By extending the blade length in the circumferential direction, it becomes possible to use a gem-shaped blade that cuts the material close to the cut shape, making it possible to use raw sliced meat that was not possible with this type of conventional slicer Meat that is soft and difficult to send
You can slice at a relatively high speed without losing quality.
The present invention has excellent effects as described above.
