Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates electrically a material feed adjustment device of a meat slicer to a thickness adjustment device for adjusting the thickness of sliced pieces to set the thickness. The present invention relates to a thickness and feed adjustment device for a meat slicer in which a material feed amount adjuster and a backing plate for determining the thickness of sliced pieces are automatically adjusted to positions corresponding to set values.

In the conventional technology meat slicer material feed gR node device and thickness adjustment device, both tA nodes are electrically related to each other, for example, the material feed mechanism of the meat slicer disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-40519 is used. be.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional device includes a material feed adjustment device that sets the feed amount of a conveyor attached to a material feed box of a meat slicer;
If a setting operation is given to either one of the thickness adjustment device and the thickness adjustment device, which is located in front of the material feeding box and adjusts the setting position of the backing plate that prevents the front end surface of the material sent out from the feeding box, the setting operation can be performed automatically. Generally, the setting amount corresponding to the setting operation is generated on the other adjustment device in conjunction with the other adjustment device, but the amount of operation of the adjustment shaft of one adjustment device is applied to the other, or both adjustment devices are were driven simultaneously according to several preset operation values, so in the former case, it would be necessary to experiment until the desired thickness was set, and it would be difficult to become proficient in using the meat slicer. In the latter case, there was an inconvenience in that it was only possible to roughly distinguish between thick slices, medium-thick slices, and thin slices, for example. For this purpose, the thickness of the slice can be determined without trial, for example, by oIl.
It has become desirable to be able to freely select from m to 20m5+.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a thickness setting device for setting the thickness of slices cut by a meat slicer, a feed rate corrector for correcting the feed amount of the material depending on the meat quality of the material, and a position detector that detects the position of the caul plate corresponding to the thickness setting value;
Similarly, a position detector that detects the position of the feed amount adjuster corresponding to the thickness setting value of the sliced piece is connected to the combiator along with a thickness selection switch, etc. via an input and output device, and this computer is connected to the Provided is a thickness and feed adjustment device for a meat slicer, characterized in that it is connected to a servo control mechanism that operates a patch plate drive motor and a feed amount adjustment drive motor in response to commands based on the results of calculations with various data performed by a computing unit. It is something to do.

Function: The device of the present invention configured as described above, when the thickness of the sliced piece to be cut by the meat slicer is set, the position of the backing plate for adjusting the thickness and the feed rate regulator of the material are controlled by memory and calculation inside the computer. Once the position is determined, each drive motor is started via the servo control mechanism, and the backing plate and feed rate adjuster are moved to the predetermined position while the movement position is confirmed by each position detector, and the movement is automatically performed. Adjust the thickness of the slicer. therefore,
Trials for setting the thickness are not required, and the range of thickness adjustment can be arbitrarily selected, for example, from 0 to 20 kaku.

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

In Fig. 1, vl is a thickness setting volume (thickness setter) that sets the thickness of the sliced piece, and V2 is a feed amount correction volume (thickness setting device) that corrects the material feed amount depending on the material quality.
corrector), v3 is a potentiometer (position detector) that detects the position of the caul plate corresponding to the thickness setting value of the slice piece
, v4 is a potentiometer (position detector) that detects the position of the feed rate adjuster corresponding to the thickness setting value of the slice piece, C is a 4-channel scanner (input section), CPU
are connected to the volumes Vl, V2 and the potentiometer V3. through the A/D converter and scanner C. V4 Arithmetic unit of all connected computers, RAM is volume Vl,
V2 and potentiometer V3. The memory that temporarily stores V4 information, ROM is the entire system program,
SS stores thickness selection switches S1 to S4, a free switch S5 that determines whether or not to input the set value of the volume V1 to the computing unit CPU, and a selection switch 5l-84 that stores the set value of the L volume v1. An operation switch section, SBC, equipped with a set switch S6 used when
is a servo control mechanism connected to the output section of the computer so as to operate the contact plate movement motor Ma and the feed amount adjuster drive motor Mb in response to commands from the arithmetic unit CPU.

The arithmetic unit CPU of the computer continuously reads information on the volumes V1 and V2 and the potentiometers V3 and V4 sequentially through the 4ch scanner.

Now, when a desired thickness is input using the thickness adjustment volume v1, the computing unit CPU inputs that value and the volumes V1, V2 and potentiometer V3 . The value of V4 is compared with the data stored in the system program ROM, and the result of the calculation is transmitted to the servo control mechanism SBG as an operation command.

Next, Figure 2 shows a meat box reciprocating type meat slicer incorporating the above-mentioned automatic thickness and feed adjustment circuit device.
In the figure, A is a thickness adjustment device, and B is a feed amount adjustment device.

Thickness adjustment device A is located on either side of the round blade 1 that rotates with the blade surface vertical on one side of the machine base F, and alternately with the round blade 1, the meat box (material box) that reciprocates on the machine base F. A backing plate 3 facing the front end surface of the feeding box) 2, and a bearing part 4 fixed to the lower part of the backing plate 3 and installed on one side of the machine base F along with a guide support shaft 5 along the thickness adjustment direction. a support shaft 6 that is slidably supported;
