2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional meat box reciprocating meat slicer, a slicer in which the thickness adjustment and the setting of the material feed amount are linked by rotating a manually operated shaft provided on the side of the machine base includes: For example, Japanese Patent Application No.
No. 298052.

[0003]

In the slicer of the prior application, the thickness adjusting mechanism and the material feeding mechanism are connected to one manual operation shaft as described above, so that the thickness of the slicer at the time of cleaning after the use of the slicer is used. This has made it difficult to attach and detach the adjusting plate, and has caused a technical problem that it is difficult to clean the back side of the thickness adjusting plate.

On the other hand, in recent years, hygienic maintenance management of food machines has been strictly observed, and even meat slicers in which a thickness adjusting mechanism and a material feeding mechanism, which are technically difficult, are interlocked, can easily adjust the thickness. To be able to attach and detach the plate has been a problem to be solved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a manual operation shaft provided on a side surface of a machine base, a first rotation transmission mechanism connected to a thickness adjustment shaft, and a second rotation transmission mechanism connected to a material feed adjustment shaft. 2
Are connected so that they rotate together with each other,
In the meat box reciprocating meat slicer in which the thickness adjustment and the setting of the material feeding amount are interlocked by the rotation operation of the manual operation shaft, a rack portion is meshed with a pinion at an inner end of the thickness adjustment shaft to obtain a thickness. A support shaft for the thickness adjustment plate that is moved with the rotation of the adjustment shaft is provided so as to be able to escape from the bearing hole of the base by one rotation of the thickness adjustment shaft, and the second rotation transmission A clutch for interrupting the rotation transmission from the mechanism is provided, and a stopper is provided on the support shaft of the thickness adjusting plate to abut on the base portion to stop the thickness adjusting plate at the zero thickness position. In addition, a thickness scale based on the zero thickness position is displayed, and the indicator needle of this scale is sandwiched between a knob attached to the outer end of the thickness adjusting shaft and the friction plate, and the thickness of the indicator needle is increased. Stop at the zero position of the scale It is to provide a meat slicer which is equipped with a guidance stopper that.

In the slicer of the present invention, first, the thickness of the thickness adjusting shaft and the material feeding adjusting shaft are adjusted to the zero adjustment position by rotating the manually operated shaft. Then, the clutch connecting the second rotation transmission mechanism and the material feed adjusting shaft is released to cut off the transmission to the material feed mechanism, and the manual operation shaft is rotated to the maximum to rotate the thickness adjusting shaft one direction, so that the pinion The support shaft of the thickness adjusting plate, which has been disengaged from the base, can be pulled out from the bearing hole of the base portion forward, so that the thickness adjusting plate can be easily removed. When the thickness adjustment plate is removed, the pointer at the zero position of the thickness scale follows the maximum rotation of the thickness adjustment shaft and makes almost one round of the cover member, but contacts the pointer stopper from the opposite direction. Will be suspended. Further, the rotation of the thickness adjusting shaft after the pointer is stopped by the pointer stopper is smoothly performed by the slip of the pointer held between the knob and the friction plate.

Next, when the thickness adjustment plate removed together with the support shaft is to be re-mounted, the support shaft is inserted into the bearing hole of the base portion, and the rack is engaged with the pinion at the inner end of the thickness adjustment shaft while the manual operation is performed. By rotating the operation shaft to the zero position side, the drawing into the bearing hole is performed smoothly. When the support shaft of the thickness adjustment plate reaches the maximum position, that is, the position where the adjustment amount reaches zero, the stopper that returns integrally with the support shaft can be easily detected by contact with the base, and it can be installed by anyone. You can do it again.

In the return process, the pointing needle rotates together with the rotation of the thickness adjusting shaft, is stopped by the pointer stopper, and returns to the zero position. Note that the pointer after returning to the zero position
The slip does not hinder the rotation of the thickness adjusting shaft as in the case of extracting the support shaft. When the thickness adjusting mechanism returns to the zero position in this way, the material feeding mechanism also starts from the zero position by returning the previously disengaged clutch to the original position. Although it is troublesome in words as described above, the operation of attaching and detaching the thickness adjusting plate of the slicer can be extremely easily performed according to the procedure, and can be easily performed by non-experts. The thickness adjustment and the return of the material feed to the zero position are also smooth. The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems as described above.
