Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for cutting relatively large cakes made of sponge confectionery and the like.

Conventionally, as a device for cutting round and large cakes such as decorated cakes into equal parts, the cake to be cut is placed on a turntable in trays below a cutting blade that moves horizontally. A cake cutting device is in practical use in which either a blade or a turntable moves up and down to cut a cake on the table.

By the way, with this type of cake cutting device -0, it is necessary to place each tray of cake on a turntable as a preparatory work for cutting the cake, and after cutting, the cake must be taken out of each tray from the table. However, with conventional equipment, all these tasks are done manually.
Not only is it difficult to perform these operations due to the position of the turntable, but it is also very dangerous to work by inserting your hand below the cutting blade, which is inefficient and dangerous. It has drawbacks such as high cost and high labor cost.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and the preparation for the next cake cutting is performed outside the turntable while the cake is being cut, thereby increasing the efficiency of the cake cutting operation.
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device with high safety.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a turntable, which is fixed to a rotating shaft 3'' supported on a machine frame 2. 4B is a cutting blade that rotates in a direction that crosses this turntable 1 above the turntable.
It is stretched around a pulley 6 that is pivotally supported by the lifting table 5, and moves up and down together with the lifting table 5 toward the turntable 1 to cut the cake A on the table.

7 is a center section set in front of the turntable 1, 8 is a rotating shaft supported between this 7-side I/section 7 and the turntable 1, 9 is a rotating base attached to the rotating shaft 8 of the tobacco, A pair of partially cut-out annular 1-Heley mounting arms 10 are provided axially symmetrically to form a space in which the turntable 1 can freely move in and out.One tray mounting arm 10 is positioned concentrically with the turntable 1, that is , when the turntable is stopped in a space corresponding to the space, the other tray mounting arm 1o is located at the central portion 7.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a tray positioning mechanism provided on the set portion 7 on the same plane as the turntable 1, and a pin 2 is provided protruding from the tip of an arm member protruding from the machine frame 2 concentrically with the tray placement arm 1o. When the rotary table 9 is in the lowered position and the tray 13 is placed thereon, the pin 12 fits into the center hole 14 of the tray 13.

Reference numeral 15 indicates a pin protruding from the appropriate position of the tray placement arm 1o. When placing the tray 13, the pin 15 fits into the bottle hole 16 drilled in the periphery of the bottom surface of the tray, and the pin 15 is placed on the tray placement arm 1o. Tray 13
to prevent misalignment.

Next, reference numeral 17 is a pulley that is installed on the rotating shaft 3 of the turntable 1 to transmit rotation, 18 is a pulley that is installed on the rotating shaft 8 of the rotating table 1° and is used to transmit rotation, and 9 is a pulley that is installed on the rotating shaft 3 of the rotating table 1 and transmits rotation. These cams are connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 8 in order to move the cutting blade 4 up and down. Although these cams are not shown, they are each connected to the morph via an intermittent rotation mechanism, and are used to raise and lower the lifting platform 5 of the cutting blade 4. It is designed to perform timing operations along with the movement.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

The rotating table 9 is in a predetermined position, that is, one tray placing arm 10 is at the turntable 1, and the other tray placing arm 10 is at the turntable 1.
stops at the setting part 7, and in the descending state, the cake A is placed on the tray by tray in the setting part 7.
Place it on top.

At this time, the pin 12 of the 1-ray alignment mechanism 11 is inserted into the center hole 14 of the tray 13, and the pin 12 on the tray mounting arm 10 is inserted into the center hole 14 of the tray 13.
5 into the bottle hole 16 on the bottom surface of the tray.

In this way, the rotating table 9 rises in the next operation, and the rotating shaft 8 continues to rise.
With this rotation, the rotating table 9 rotates, and the tray mounting arm 10 on which the cake A is placed reaches above the turntable 1 and stops rotating. Thereafter, the rotary table 9 begins to move downward, and during this descent, the tray 13 is placed on the turntable 1, and the empty tray mounting arm 10 moves away from the bottom of the turntable and stops and waits.

However, the tray 13 placed on the turntable is fitted into the pin 20 provided at the center of the turntable 1 and stabilized in a fixed position, and in this state, the lifting platform 5 descends and the cutting blade 4 cuts the cake for the first time. Then, the cutting blade 4 rises and moves away from the cake person, the turntable 1 rotates horizontally through a predetermined angle and stops, and the lifting platform 5 moves up and down again to cut the cake A.

In this way, the cake cutting operation is repeated a predetermined number of times to complete the cake cutting.

While this cake is being cut, the next cake A to be cut is placed on the tray placing arm 1o at the seventh saw 1 part 7.
Put it on and prepare it.

When the cake cutting on the turntable is finished, the rotating table 9 rises and rotates to exchange the cut cake 8 from the turntable with the cake A from the cent part that is about to be cut. to complete one step of cutting the cake.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and carries in the cake to be cut to the turntable and takes out the cut cake through a rotating table that rotates the turntable part and the center part. Also, while the cake is being cut, preparations for the next cut are made, making the work easier and greatly improving work efficiency. It is safe because it is not necessary, and furthermore, it is possible to operate multiple devices by one worker, and the labor cost is low.It is a technical invention with great practical effects.
