Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a slicer for slicing vegetables such as root vegetables or foods such as bamboo shoots and other pastry products for cooking.

Slicers for slicing vegetables and other ingredients for cooking are already known.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 24478, there is a device in which a presser conveyor is arranged so as to be stacked on top of a feed conveyor that is installed almost horizontally, and rotary blades are arranged in front of both conveyors. In this method, vegetables and the like that are transferred by a feed conveyor are sliced by the rotary blade while being held down by a holding conveyor. In this case, if the rotary blade is fixed to an opening provided in a part of a disc, there will be almost no problem since the disc will always be hit by vegetables, etc. However, this blade has a high sharpness and performance. There are some difficulties in this respect. For this reason, there are blades that have only the blade attached to the shaft, and these blades are satisfactory in terms of performance and other aspects. However, since the blade comes into contact with vegetables etc. intermittently, when multiple root vegetables are being fed at the same time, as shown in Figure 7, root vegetables A, which are not being acted on by the force of the presser conveyor, will remain unsliced and move forward. If the remaining portion of the sliced vegetable B has a curved or sloped surface as shown in FIG. 8, the vegetable B may jump forward due to the force of the presser conveyor. Then, there is a problem that these unsliced vegetables are mixed with sliced vegetables and cooked.

The purpose of this invention is to prevent vegetables, etc. from flying out unsliced between the feed conveyor and the presser conveyor.

In this invention, the presser conveyor is placed above the feed conveyor, which is installed in an almost horizontal direction, and rotates to the side of both conveyors, with the cutting edge visible at a distance in front of both conveyors. In a food slicer having a rotating blade pivoted on a freely disposed shaft, there is a space in front of the blade between both conveyors that is larger than the thickness of the sliced product. A front cover that closes the front surface of a side plate attached to the fuselage with the support plate immovable and in a vertical direction parallel to the blade, covering the outer periphery of the rotating blade in the direction of rotation, or other equipment provided on the fuselage. It is characterized by being attached to a fixed part.

This slicer transfers root vegetables, etc., while being sandwiched between a feed conveyor and a holding conveyor, and slices them with a rotary blade rotating in front of them. This allows root vegetables and the like that have fallen down to be supported by a support plate to prevent them from falling and to be sliced.

An embodiment of the slicer of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a base plate provided in the horizontal direction, and a feed conveyor 2 consisting of a belt is placed on top of the base plate, with the forward path overlapping the base plate. Reference numeral 3 denotes a presser conveyor consisting of a belt placed overlappingly above the feed conveyor 2, which is attached to an appropriate number of rolls 5 installed between supporting plates 4 provided oppositely to each other.
In addition, the end of the support plate 4 is pivoted to the machine body at the end opposite to the direction of movement of the presser conveyor 3, and the end of the support plate 4 in the direction of movement of the presser conveyor 3 is movable up and down. It is designed to hold down objects such as vegetables. Reference numeral 6 denotes a plate-shaped base disposed on the front side of the end in the direction of movement of the feed conveyor 2 at approximately the same height as the top surface of the feed conveyor 2, and 7 indicates a rotating blade for slicing provided at the front end of the base 6. This is a shaft that is rotatably arranged in front between the conveyors 2 and 3, on the widthwise side of the feed conveyor 2 and presser conveyor 3, with the mouthpiece 6 in between and the cutting edge visible. 8 and rotates.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a front lid provided vertically at an appropriate interval in front of the blade 7, and one end of this is provided in front of the blade 7.
In order to close the front surface of the side plate 10 attached to the fuselage while covering the outer periphery in the rotational direction, this side plate 10
It is attached to the shaft and can be opened and closed horizontally. 1
1 is the front position between the conveyors 2 and 3, and the blade 7
A support plate is provided in front of the blade 7 at a distance greater than the thickness of the sliced object from the blade 7, and is immovable and oriented vertically parallel to the blade 7, with a support 12 protruding from one end thereof. Through the front lid 9,
It is attached so that its position can be adjusted in a direction parallel to the traveling direction of the feed conveyor 2. The means for attaching the support body 12 to the front lid 9 is arbitrary, but in this example, as shown in FIG.
It is attached to a mounting plate 15 provided horizontally on the front lid 9. Therefore, Boruto Natsuto 1
4, the support body 12 becomes movable, and the distance between the support plate 11 and the blade 7 can be adjusted as desired.

When slicing vegetables and other foods using this slicer, root vegetables and other vegetables are placed on the end of the feed conveyor 2 and transferred. When vegetables and the like are transferred by the feed conveyor 2 and reach the presser conveyor 3, they are thereafter transferred while being pressed by the presser conveyor 3.
Usually, as shown in FIG. 5, the thickness to be sliced protrudes from the mouthpiece 6, is sliced by the blade 7 rotating in front of it, and falls downward. The thickness of the vegetables etc. to be sliced is adjusted by changing the feeding speed of the vegetables etc. by the feed conveyor 2 and presser conveyor 3. The support plate 11 placed in front of the blade 7 should be spaced from the blade 7 at a distance that is larger than the thickness of the vegetables, etc. to be sliced, but for normal slicing, if you leave a space of about 5 mm, there will be no problem. Can be sliced. However, as the thickness of the object to be sliced increases, the support plate 11 is moved accordingly to increase the distance between the support plate 11 and the blade 7.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, as the root vegetables are sliced, the remaining portion becomes smaller, and the remaining portion becomes conical and is pushed by the presser conveyor 3, and the remaining small root vegetables are pushed onto the conveyor by this force. 2,3
If it jumps out from between, it hits the support plate 11 and stops without falling, and is repeatedly sliced by the blade 7. Since there is a gap between the blade 7 and the support plate 11 that is larger than the thickness of the sliced object, when the object supported by the support plate 11 is sliced, the slice may be thick, but the sliced object will not be sliced. In some cases, objects may remain inside the support plate 11 without falling, and in this case, the difference in thickness becomes smaller. In this way, even items that have become small can be sliced, and root vegetables that have become small can be prevented from falling without being sliced and being cooked as they are.

The support plate 11 is attached to the support body 12 so that it does not move, so even if the force of the presser conveyor 3 acts on the support plate 11 through the object to be sliced, the support plate 11 will hardly move, so that it will not move. You can reliably slice the sliced food all the way to the end.

If the support plate 11 is made adjustable as in this embodiment and the distance between the blade 7 and the blade 7 is adjusted according to the thickness of the object to be sliced, the distance between the blade 7 and the support plate 11 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the object to be sliced. Since the interval can be set, the difference in thickness between vegetables etc. sliced against the support plate 11 and vegetables etc. sliced while being sandwiched by the conveyors 2, 3 can be reduced, which is more appropriate. However, if the thickness of the object to be sliced is approximately the same, it is also possible to fix the position of the support plate 11.

As described above, in the present invention, the support plate 11 is vertically fixed and arranged in front of the cutter 7 at an interval larger than the thickness of the sliced object. Therefore, the force of the presser conveyor 3 causes the object to fly out, or
Root vegetables and other objects to be sliced that have fallen down due to the force of the presser conveyor 3 not being applied can be supported by the support plate 11 and prevented from falling, and can be sliced by the blade 7. Root vegetables can be sliced almost to the end, and it is possible to eliminate root vegetables that fall in a large state.
