Description

Detailed Description of the Invention This invention supplies food materials such as ham vertically from above to 35 rotating round blades with the blade surface horizontal, and also horizontally rotates either the round blade or the material. This invention relates to an improvement of a vertical food slicer which is configured to reciprocate in the direction to slice the material at an appropriate thickness from the lower end.

Conventional vertical food slicers include, for example, the
No. 041, Actual Publication No. 1981-8146, Special Publication No. 1977-40
There are No. 379 and Utility Model Publication No. 47-34042.

The former uses a stacking system in which the tray that receives the slices descends vertically and receives the slices in a stacked manner, so there is the inconvenience of having to rearrange the slices when displaying them in a large container such as a tray or pie tray at a store. The latter uses a conveyor system in which a belt conveyor that runs intermittently is placed at the position where the slice pieces fall, but this device also -
Since the conveyor was driven for each fixed number of slices, it was not possible to arrange the slices in a staggered manner one by one, resulting in the same inconvenience as the former. On the other hand, as a system for receiving slices by shifting them one by one, there is a system called
No. 2044 and Utility Model Publication No. 47-14474, which received slices arranged in a circle or in a straight line, but had a structure in which the receiving position of the slices was fixed, so it could not be used as desired. When arranging and accommodating slices in double rows in a container, it is necessary to perform a transfer operation similar to the conventional apparatus described above. Therefore, the present invention supplies material vertically from above to a horizontally rotating round blade, and also moves either the round blade or the material back and forth in the horizontal direction to form the material into an appropriate thickness. In a vertical food slicer that slices from the lower end, a rotary shaft that rotates in one direction in conjunction with the backward stroke of the reciprocating motion is installed parallel to the axis of the round blade, and the slice pieces are placed at the upper end of this rotary shaft. By installing a receiving table and installing the bearing of the rotating shaft so as to be movable in the horizontal direction, the receiving position of the receiving table can be changed,
This provides a vertical slicer that can receive slices arranged in multiple rows.

Further, the present invention provides the receiving table detachably attached to the rotary shaft, a gear that rotates together with the rotary shaft below the attachment/detachment position of the table, and a rack that meshes with the gear provided on one side. 41, another receiving table is formed, the other side of which is supported by a horizontally suspended guide rail, and which slides intermittently in the linear direction with the rotation of the rotating shaft via the gear; A single vertical slicer that can receive slices in double rows by being interchangeable with a receiving table can be used in two ways: arranging slices in a circle and arranging them in a straight line. It is designed so that it can be used for different purposes. Furthermore, the present invention has a coupling interposed in the middle of the rotating shaft to which the slice receiving table is attached at the upper end, and the upper part of the rotating shaft is detachably attached to the machine frame together with the receiving table. The present invention provides a vertical food slicer in which slices can be stacked vertically like the conventional slicer of this type. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, M is a motor installed with the shaft facing downward on the inside of the machine F, 1 is a main shaft that is attached to the motor M with a pulley driven by a belt 2, and is vertically installed on the machine F. A pulley 3' is provided which is driven by a pulley 4 fixed at the center of the main shaft 1 via a belt 5. The intermediate shaft 6, which is also vertically supported on the machine base F, is externally fitted onto the upper part of the main shaft 1 from above, and a pulley 3' at the lower end of the intermediate shaft 3 is connected to a bifurcated lever T that projects from the lower end.
1 of the intermediate shaft 3 by fitting the roller pin 9 attached to the
A cylindrical shaft that reciprocates around the main shaft 1 each time it rotates; 10 is a swinging arm integrally extended laterally from the upper end of the cylindrical shaft 6;
A is supported at the tip of the arm 10, and includes a pulley A' which is driven by a pulley 1 fixed to the upper end of the main shaft 1 via a belt 12, and rotates horizontally. A round blade 13 reciprocates in the horizontal direction together with 10, and 13 also has its base fixed to the tip of the arm 10, moves back and forth together with the round blade A, and adjusts the material bearing surface 13' at the tip using an adjustment mechanism (not shown). 14 is a support that stands up on one side of the machine base F; 15 is a material bearing surface of the thickness adjustment plate 13 that is loosely fitted into the support 14; 13'
A pushing plate 16 vertically clamps a material m such as ham between the blades and vertically supplies the material m to the round blade A, and 16 is a holding plate that supports the material m from the side. Note that all of the above-mentioned members are included in a conventional vertical food slicer. IT is a rotating shaft that is erected on the machine stand F parallel to the axis a of the round blade A and that rotates in one direction following the backward stroke of the reciprocating and reversing movement of the cylindrical shaft 6 (clockwise rotation in plan view of the same axis). It is. This rotation IT consists of a rod 18 hanging in an inverted L shape from the lower end of the cylinder shaft 6, a lever 19 whose tip is in contact with the rod 18, and a roller clutch 2 attached to the fulcrum shaft 20 of the lever 19.
A sprocket 22 is loosely fitted through the sprocket 1, and is driven by the sprocket 22 through a chain 23, and the rotation axis IT
It is equipped with a transmission mechanism consisting of a sprocket 24 fixed to the lower part of the cylinder, and rotates intermittently in one direction by following the cylinder shaft 6.
Note that this transmission mechanism is, for example, the rotating shaft 1? A roller clutch 21 is interposed between the two levers, two levers are fixed to the clutch 21, and a connecting rod is interposed between the lever and the rod 18 of the cylindrical shaft 6, or a link motion is used. It is also possible to change the transmission mechanism to a gear train disposed between the IT and the cylinder shaft 6 with a one-way rotation mechanism. 25a is a circular table for receiving slices detachably attached to the end of the rotating shaft IT via a coupling 25'a;
This table knife L25a is located below the back surface of the reciprocating circular blade A and the thickness adjustment plate 13, receives the sliced piece on its upper surface, and rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 11 for each cutting operation of the slicer, Arrange the slices in a circle along the circumferential direction of the table, overlapping each other's edges.

25b is a ring 25 which holds the circular table 25a.
The rack 2.6, which is detached from the upper end of the rotating shaft IT through the upper end of the rotating shaft IT and has a long horizontal position on one side, is engaged with the gear 2T fixed on the upper part of the rotating shaft IT. The fitting part 28 formed parallel to the rack 26 is connected to the rotation axis IT.
This is another rectangular receiving table which has a supporting rod 30' fixed to the side surface of a cylindrical portion 29 placed on the outside of the cylindrical portion 29, and is fitted onto a vertical guide rail 30 to be slidably supported.

As in the case of the circular table 25a, this table 25b is also driven by the rotating shaft IT through the gear 21, and moves straight intermittently following the backward stroke of the reciprocating motion of the round blade A. Arrange the slices you receive in a straight line. In the figure, 31 is a hinge for opening and closing the rack 26 with respect to the table 25b, and 32 is a tension spring. 3
3 is a bearing that supports the lower end of the rotating shaft IT that drives the table 25 as described above.

This bearing 33 is embedded in the tip of a pedestal 34 whose base is loosely fitted to the fulcrum shaft 20 of the lever 19 in the transmission mechanism of the rotating shaft IT, and is located between the tip of the pedestal 34 and the bottom of the machine pedestal F. By rotating the provided adjustment screw rod 35, the fulcrum shaft 20
The receiving position of the table 25 can be changed by moving the rotary shaft IT along with the cylindrical part 29 as a center to change the standing position of the rotating shaft IT to be far from or near the falling position of the slice piece.
The above-mentioned change of the receiving position is carried out when arranging slices in multiple rows or when placing a small container on the table 25 in both cases of the circular table 25a and the square table 25b. A stopper 36 determines the contact position between the lever 19 in the transmission mechanism of the rotating shaft IT and the rod 18 hanging from the cylindrical shaft 6 which contacts the lever 19 and swings it.

This stopper 36 has a base plate 36' slidably supported by a grooved bracket 37 installed on the bottom surface of the machine base F, and its tip is screwed into a female screw 36'' fixed to the base plate 36, 11 surface. The rod portion 3C” slides back and forth by rotating the adjustment screw shaft 38 horizontally mounted on the side of the stand F, and extends from the base plate 36'.
The tip of the lever 19 controls the return position of the lever 19. Note that 39 is a restoring spring for the same lever 19. This stopper 36 with the above-mentioned configuration has a short contact area with the rod 18 having a constant amplitude when the rod portion 36'' is moved forward (towards the right in the drawing), and the table 25 is By reducing the rotation angle of the rotating shaft IT to be driven, the interval between the slices is arranged closer.Also, by retracting the rod 3ff, the interval between the slices is coarser, and the way the slices are arranged. In addition to this, the spacing is adjusted depending on the cross-sectional size of the material m. 40 is a coupling interposed in the middle of the rotating shaft IT that drives the table 25, and 41 is a coupling that connects the coaxial shaft 11 when the table 25 is moved together with the rotating shaft IT as described above.
This is a guide for smoothly moving the cylindrical part 29 surrounding the cylindrical part 29 and holding it in the position after the movement. 29, the upper part of the rotating shaft IT is separated from the coupling ring 40, and the table 25 is attached to the cylindrical portion 29.
It is configured so that it can be removed from the machine base F together with the machine.

As described above, in the present invention, the receiving table 25 for receiving the upper end slice piece is attached, the rotary shaft IT is erected parallel to the axis of the round blade A, and rotates in one direction in conjunction with the backward stroke of the reciprocating motion of the vertical slicer. Since the bearing 33 is installed so as to be movable in the horizontal direction, the receiving position of the receiving table 25 can be changed by moving the bearing 33.

Therefore, if a wide container for in-store display, for example, is placed on the table 25, slices can be directly arranged in double rows on the container without the need for manpower.

Further, the receiving position of the table 25 can be moved to a position that fits a narrow container. Further, the present invention provides a receiving table 25VC for the sliced pieces, a circular table 2
5a, and another linearly advancing table 25b which is supported by the guide rail 30 through the gear 2T and rack 26 on the rotating shaft 1γ and slides intermittently in the horizontal direction, and each can be attached to and removed from the upper end of the rotating shaft IT. Now, one slicer can receive the slices arranged in a circle,
It can be used in two ways: arranging them in a straight line. Therefore, by combining these features with the above-mentioned double-row receiving system, it can be used in a variety of ways, and is particularly suitable for use in meat retail stores that sell a wide variety of sliced products in small quantities over the counter. Furthermore, in the present invention, a coupling 40 is interposed in the middle of the rotating shaft 11, and the upper part of the rotating shaft IT is detachably attached to the machine frame F together with the receiving table 25. If the upper part of the machine is removed, slices can be stacked in the same way as with conventional models, and it also has many advantages, such as being able to be used in combination with a belt conveyor that has a separate drive source.
