Description

[Detailed description of the invention] In this invention, a press plate is mounted on the upper end, the lower end of the descending food is caught by a food catch plate, and a round knife that reciprocates in conjunction with the food catch plate is used to catch the food. Cut off the bottom edge,
The present invention relates to a section stacking and sending device for a food cutting machine that stacks a predetermined number of food sections and sends them out on a conveyor.

In a conventional device of this kind, each time the bottom edge of the food is cut, the rear end of a conveyor placed a predetermined distance below the bottom edge of the food is lowered by a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the cut pieces, and the set number of pieces is cut. Each time a slice is cut and stacked on the rear end of the conveyor, the conveyor is driven, the rear end of the conveyor is raised to its original position, and a set number of food slices are stacked and sent out one after another. However, with this device, the cutting thickness of the food and the amount of descent of the rear end of the conveyor are not linked.
The amount of descent of the rear end of the conveyor must be adjusted each time the thickness of the food is changed, which requires a lot of effort.

An object of the present invention is to provide a section stacking and delivering device for a food cutting machine that does not require the above-mentioned adjustments.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

1, the pinion 32 is engaged with a rack 33 formed in the center of the drive shaft 24 of the lifting shelf, and the lifting shelf 23 is connected to the pressing plates 14, 14 so as to be able to be shut off, thereby adjusting the amount of descent of the pressing plates. The device is designed to be able to descend in equal amounts. At the lower end of the drive shaft 24 of the elevating shelf,
As shown in Fig. 3, the abutment ring 3 fitted on it
A push-down ring 35 is loosely fitted into the upper position of the machine 4, and the push-down ring 35 is connected to the shelf lowering electromagnetic solenoid 38 in the machine base 1 via a connecting rod 36 and an L-shaped lever 37, and a set number of sections are cut. An electric circuit is provided to stop the reciprocating movement of the round cutter 3 and the food receiving plate 4 and to activate the electromagnetic clutch 31 when the food is cut, and to energize the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for lowering the shelf, so that a set number of pieces are stacked. A shelf lowering device is provided for lowering the lifting shelf 23 to a position below the upper surface of the round belt 22 on which the stacked sections are placed on the conveyor 19 by cutting off the connection with the pressing plates 14, 14. . The elevating shelf 23 transports the stacked sections on the conveyor 1.
An electric circuit is provided to drive the conveyor 19 when the sheet is placed on the round belt 9 and collapse between the round belts 22, and then to stop driving the conveyor 19 when a set number of pieces have been cut. There is. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a push-up ring 39 is loosely fitted to the lower end of the drive shaft 24 of the elevating shelf at a lower position of the contact ring 34 fitted thereto, and the push-up ring 39 is attached to the connecting rod 40. is connected to the shelf lifting electromagnetic solenoid 42 in the machine base 1 via the L-shaped lever 41, and when the stacked slices mounted on the rear end of the conveyor 19 are sent out from the upper position of the lifting shelf 23, Electromagnetic solenoid 3 for shelf lowering
8, while the shelf lifting electromagnetic solenoid 42
is excited, and when the elevating shelf 23 rises to its original position, the reciprocating movement of the round knife 3 and the food receiving plate 4 is restarted, the operation of the electromagnetic clutch 31 is stopped, and the electromagnetic solenoid 42 for lifting the shelf is demagnetized. An electric circuit is provided, and the stacked sections placed on the rear end of the conveyor 19 are sent out, and the empty elevating shelf 23 is raised to the original position, and the connection with the pressing plates 14, 14 is restored. Equipment is installed.

When the device of this example is driven, when the round cutter 3 and the food receiving plate 4 move forward, the two pairs of guide clamping pieces 7,
The lower ends of the two food items F, F held between the 9, 7, and 9 are cut by the rotating round knife 3, and the two cut pieces are placed on the elevating shelf 23, each stopped at the rising end. When the round knife 3 and the food receiving plate 4 reach the reciprocating end, the two foods F, F are placed horizontally on the upper end of the pressing plates 14, 14, the mounting member 13, and the sliding rod. 1
2, the lower ends of both foods F, F are received by the food receiving plate 4, and as the pressing plates 14, 14 descend, the double chain 18 for compensating the reduction in pressing force is rotated by the same amount as the amount of descent. By moving, a pressing force equal to the weight of the two sections is applied to the pressing plates 14, 14, and the elevating shelf 23 is lowered by the same amount as the lowering amount of the pressing plates 14, 14,
Each time the round knife 3 and the food receiving plate 4 reciprocate, two pieces of food F, F are cut, and the two pieces are stacked on top of the pieces on the elevating shelf 23.
3 is lowered and a preset number of pieces have been cut, the round knife 3 and the food receiving plate 4 stop their reciprocating motion, and the electromagnetic clutch 31 is activated to cut the press plate 1.
4, 14 and the elevating shelf 23 are disconnected, the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for lowering the shelf is energized, and the elevating shelf 23 with a set number of slices stacked thereon is at a position where the stacked slices thereon are placed on the conveyor 19. descend to the elevator shelf 2
3 descends, the conveyor 19 is driven to send out the two stacked sections on the rear end, and when the stacked sections pass above the elevating shelf 23, the electromagnetic solenoid for lifting the shelf is activated. 42 is excited, the empty lifting shelf 23 rises to its original position, and when the lifting shelf 23 is restored to its original position, the round knife 3 and the food receiving plate 4
reciprocates again, the operation of the electromagnetic clutch 31 is stopped, the connection between the press plates 14, 14 and the elevating shelf 23 is restored, and each time the set number of sections is cut, the set number of sections are stacked. The elevating shelf 23 is lowered, the stacked slices thereon are placed on the rear end of the conveyor 19, and the conveyor 19 is driven to send out the stacked slices on the rear end.

When changing the cutting thickness of the food F, the food receiving plate 4 is moved up and down to change the step with the round knife 3. Then, the amount of descent of the foods F, F descending onto the food receiving plate 4, and therefore the amount of descent of the press plates 14, 14 changes, and the amount of descent of the elevating shelf 23 connected to the press plates 14, 14 changes. It changes by the same amount as the change in the amount of descent, that is, the change in the cutting thickness of the food F.

In the section stacking and delivery device according to the present invention, the press plate placed on the upper end of the food and the elevating shelf on which the food sections are stacked move down in conjunction with each other, so when the cut thickness of the food is changed, the food The amount of descent of the elevating shelf also changes according to the thickness of the cut. Therefore, unlike conventional devices in which the amount of descent of the rear end of the conveyor must be adjusted each time the cutting thickness of the food is changed, no adjustment is required. In addition, when transferring the stacked sections on the elevating shelf onto the conveyor, the parallel shelf sections of the elevating shelf collapse between the parallel belts of the conveyor, so the stacked sections are allowed to fall naturally from the upper position of the conveyor. Unlike in the previous case, stacked sections can be replaced smoothly.
