Description

Food cutting device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food material cutting apparatus, and more particularly, to a food material cutting apparatus capable of easily controlling cutting thickness of a food material and significantly reducing a working time.

As the diet has been westernized, the convenience foods produced by factories have been used, or the eating and drinking culture using large restaurants has developed, there has been an increase in the number of companies handling large amounts of food. Companies that process large quantities of foodstuffs, such as large restaurants, factories, and butchers, use a variety of processing devices to process large quantities of food in a short period of time.

In particular, a cutting device for cutting food materials into a certain size or shape has already been developed and used in various forms depending on the type and size of the food material. Despite the fact that various types of food material cutting devices are used, most of the devices are manufactured to be suitable for large-sized companies, so that the devices are very complicated or bulky and inconvenient to use in small-sized businesses.

Most of the food material cutting apparatuses are manufactured to be suitable for specific companies, specific materials, and specific conditions. Therefore, there is a problem in that these apparatuses can not be provided in a small-scale business where small space is required and a relatively small amount of various materials must be cut. In addition, the conventional food material cutting apparatus has a problem that cutting speed is slow and inefficient, and various products can not be converted and processed at a high speed.

1 and 2, a food material cutting apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention feeds a food material while the supply unit 20 rotates, and the rotary blade 30 uniformly supplies the ingredients Cutting device. The food material cutting apparatus 1 can cut a large amount of food material in a short time by supplying the food material while rotating the supply unit 20 at the upper end of the rotary blade 30. [

A food material cutting apparatus (1) comprises a main body (10), a rotary blade (30) installed on one side of the main body (10) and rotating in a horizontal direction, And a feeding unit 20 for feeding the food material stored in the upper portion of the rotary blade 30 downward.

The main body 10 forms a basic skeleton that maintains the rigidity of the food material cutting apparatus 1, and may be formed of a frame made of a pipe or a beam, or a box made of a plate. On one side of the main body (10), a rotary blade (30) for cutting the ingredients is provided. The rotary blade 30 may be formed in a disc shape and may be installed on the upper side of the main body 10, such that the surface of the disc is horizontal and the blade portion rotates in the horizontal direction. That is, the rotary blade 30 is coupled to the rotary shaft 16, which is perpendicular to the main body 10, so that the blade portion can rotate in the horizontal direction. A fixing plate 31 is coupled to the center of the rotary blade 30.

The fixing plate 31 is fixed to the main body 10 through the rotating shaft 16 and covers the center of the rotating blade 30 to expose only the blade portion to the outside. The fixing plate 31 is fixed to the main body 10 without rotating to prevent the foodstuff from being pushed against the side surface of the rotary blade 30. The rotary blade 30 may be formed such that the center of the side surface thereof is stepped so that the fixing plate 31 can be inserted. The fixing plate 31 may be inserted into the rotary blade 30 so as to maintain a slight gap with the rotary blade 30 so as not to generate friction and maintain substantially the same plane as the rotary blade 30.

The main body 10 includes a flat surface portion 11 on its upper surface. The plane portion 11 is flush with the rotary blade 30 and forms the upper surface of the main body 10. A guide plate 40 is formed on the same plane as the plane portion 11 and the rotary blade 30. Here, the term "coplanar" does not mean a perfect plane having no step or gap, but means that the food is flat enough to move along the plane. Therefore, even if the guide plate 40 moves up and down and a step with the main body 10 or the rotary blade 30 occurs, the food material continuously passes through the flat portion 11, the guide plate 40 and the rotary blade 30 If it can be cut, it can be seen as keeping the same plane.

The guide plate 40 serves to guide the movement path of the ingredients so that the ingredients can be cut quickly and cleanly. The guide plate 40 supplies the foodstuff at an optimum angle to cut the rotary blade 30 while reducing the friction that may occur as the food material moves.

The guide plate 40 is fixed by a fixing screw 401 and detachably coupled to the main body 10. When the fixing screw 401 is loosened, the guide plate 40 is completely separated in the vertical direction and is easy to be cleaned between the guide projections (see 42 in FIG. 3), and can be reinstalled in a fully dried state, .

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the guide plate 40 includes guide protrusions 42 on its upper surface to reduce friction with food ingredients. The guide protrusion 42 is a path through which the food material directly contacts the protruding portion continuously protruding along the movement path of the food material. The guide protrusions 42 protrude from the bottom portion 41 of the guide plate 40 and a plurality of guide protrusions 42 may be formed at regular intervals along the rotation direction of the supply unit 20. [ The guide protrusion 42 can form a part of a plurality of concentric circles centering on the rotary shaft 17 of the supply unit 20. The guide protrusion 42 is formed to be inclined upward toward the rotary blade 30. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the height of the peaks of the guide protrusion 42 may be different from each other depending on the position of the guide plate 40.

4 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the guide plate 40 taken along line A-A ', and FIG. 4 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the guide plate 40 taken along line B-B' will be. 4 (a) shows a portion closer to the rotary blade 30 than the portion (b) of Fig. 4 in terms of the route of the foodstuff.

4 (a), the guide protrusion 42 may be formed on the indentation surface which is recessed inwardly of the guide plate 40. The guide protrusions 42 protrude upward from the bottom portion 41 and are relatively lowered between the guide protrusions 42 to form a trough 43. The guide protrusions 42 and the valleys 43 are referred to as guide protrusions 42 and the valleys 43 are portions projected upward from the guide plate 40 relative to each other. Therefore, the guide protrusions 42 and the valleys 43 may be collectively referred to as the shapes formed by protruding or recessed upper surfaces of the guide plates 40, regardless of their length and width.

In FIG. 4A, the guide protrusion 42 is located below the depth of D1 and the groove 43 is below the depth of D2 when viewed from the upper surface of the guide plate 40 . 4 (b), the protrusion 42 is located at a depth of D1 'below the guide plate 40, and the valleys 43 are located at a depth of D2' Located below. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the guide protrusions 42 gradually increase in the position of the peaks toward the rotary blade 30, and the valleys 43 move in a direction opposite to the rotary blade 30 It gradually decreases. In other words, the guide protrusion 42 is inclined upward toward the rotary blade 30 to move the food material upward along a gentle slope, and the gullet 43 is moved downward along the direction opposite to the rotary blade 30 (For example, water, oil or blood of meat, etc.) falling from the food ingredients.

4, the guide protrusion 42 is not limited to the protruding structure formed on the recessed surface of the guide plate 40 but may be completely protruded to the upper portion of the guide plate 40.

Referring to FIG. 3, the guide plate 40 includes an inclined portion 44 at one end of the guide plate 40, which is in contact with the upper surface 11 of the main body 10. The inclined portion 44 serves to gently connect the flat surface portion 11 and the guide protrusion 42. Even if a step is formed between the guide plate 40 and the flat surface portion 11, To move along. The inclined portion 44 may be formed at an end portion adjacent to the planar portion 11 which is opposite to the rotary blade 30. The inclined portion 44 may be formed on the entire end portion of the guide plate 40 contacting with the flat surface portion 11, but may be formed on only a part of the end portion as shown in FIG. The portion where the inclined portion 44 is removed from the end portion of the guide plate 40 can be a path through which the liquid flowing through the valleys 43 escapes. At the lower portion of the guide plate 40, a liquid receiving portion 60 for receiving liquid flowing along the valleys 43 is provided. 2, the liquid receiving portion 60 may be formed in the form of a container having an open upper portion and may be accommodated in the body 10. As shown in Fig. The liquid receiving portion 60 may be detachably received in the main body 10, and a separate drain pipe (not shown) may be formed to discharge the liquid directly to the outside.

Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the gap adjusting unit 15 elevates and lowers the guide plate 40 to adjust the clearance between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40. The gap adjusting unit 15 may be composed of a rack and a pinion gear. When the adjusting knob 12 is rotated, the guide plate 40 can be moved up and down in parallel by the action of the rack and the pinion gear. The interval adjusting unit 15 adjusts the cutting thickness of the foodstuff by adjusting the interval between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40. [ That is, if the distance between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 is narrowed, the food material can be cut thinly. If the interval between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 is widened, the food material is cut to a large thickness.

The interval adjusting unit 15 can appropriately adjust the distance between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 according to the type and condition of the foodstuff. For example, frozen meat or vegetables with a hard material can be cut relatively thinly, so that the interval between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 can be narrowed and the relatively soft material such as cold meat can be cut The distance between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 can be increased to make it thicker.

The supply unit 20 is coupled to the upper portion of the main body 10 to supply the food to the rotary blade 30. The supply unit 20 rotates about the rotation axis 17 installed in the vertical direction of the main body 10 and rotates in the horizontal direction like the rotary blade 30.

The supply unit 20 is detachably coupled to the main body 10 by a fixing screw 201. [ The supply unit 20 is vertically coupled to the rotary shaft 17 and fixes the supply unit 20 and the rotary shaft 17 with the fixing screws 201. When the fixing screw 201 is loosened, the supply unit 20 is completely detachable to the upper part and the cartridge 22, the first pressing member 23, and the second All the joined members such as the pressing member 24 can be separated in the vertical direction, which facilitates internal cleaning and maintains a clean sanitary condition.

5, the supply unit 20 includes a frame 21 formed in a cylindrical shape and having a through hole 28 passing through the upper and lower portions thereof, and a receiving space 27 (Not shown).

The frame 21 serves to fix and rotate the plurality of cartridges 22. The frame 21 can be formed in a cylindrical shape so as to be rotatable, and a through hole 28 is formed through which the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 21 pass each other. The through hole 28 is a space into which the cartridge 22 is inserted and is not necessarily limited to a structure that penetrates the lower portion and the lower portion. That is, as shown in Fig. 5, the side of the frame 21 may be opened to communicate with the through-hole 28, and the cartridge 22 may be inserted into the side of the frame 21.

The cartridge 22 includes a receiving space 27 for receiving a food material therein, and the receiving space 27 may be formed by passing through upper and lower portions. The cartridge 22 may be formed by a machining method such as extrusion of a metal such as aluminum in the form of a hollow tube. The cartridge 22 can be conveniently used when the handle 26 is formed on one side and inserted into or separated from the frame 21. [

The cartridges 22 can be installed on the frame 21 in various ways depending on the kind and size of the food materials to be cut. The cartridge 22 is fixed to the frame 21 using a fixing member 25 formed on the upper surface of the frame 21. [

The feeding unit 20 includes a first pressing member 23 and a second pressing member 24 for pressing the food material so as to fix the food or smoothly feed the rotary blade 30. The first pressing member 23 is for pressing the food material to press the food material smoothly to the rotary blade 30 while the second pressing member 24 is for pressing the food material to the side or the like so as to be fixed without shaking.

The first pressing member 23 may be a weight member whose one end is inserted into the upper portion of the cartridge 22 and located in the accommodation space 27. [ That is, the first pressing member 23 can move downward by pressing the food material using a heavy material, and fix the rotary blade 30 so as not to be shaken when cutting the food material. The first pressing member 23 can be formed in a suitable shape and size in consideration of the shape of the accommodation space 27 formed in the cartridge 22, the size and kind of the ingredients, and the like.

The second pressing member 24 presses the ingredients to the sides to prevent shaking. The second pressing member 24 can press the food material using an elastic force or the like. 6, one end of the second pressing member 24 is hinged to the feeding unit 20 so as to be swingably engaged with the second pressing member 24, and the second pressing member 24 The elastic force can be applied. The second pressing member 24 can press the food material by applying an elastic force to the food material while swinging inside the accommodation space 27 of the cartridge 22. [ Further, the second pressing member 24 has a structure that is easy to engage and disengage from the frame 21. The second pressing member 24 is easy to maintain and sanitize because of the structure that is vertically separable from the frame 21. [ On the other hand, the second pressing member 24 shown in Fig. 6 is merely an example and can be fixed to the cartridge 22 by pressing the food material in various ways.

Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, a transfer belt 50 is provided below the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 to transfer the ingredients. The feed belt 50 is detachably coupled to the inside of the main body 10 and carries the cut food material falling between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40. One end of the conveying belt 50 may be positioned inside the main body 10 and the other end may be exposed to the outside of the main body 10. 1, the conveying belt 50 may be exposed to the front of the main body 10 to discharge the food material to the front surface, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The conveying belt 50 may be exposed through the rear surface, . That is, it is possible to variously change the discharge direction of the foodstuff if necessary. In addition, although not shown, a container capable of receiving the food material can be provided under the rotary blade 30 by removing the conveying belt 50. [ The conveying belt 50 can be engaged and separated by a fixing screw 501. When the fixing screw 501 is detached from the main body 10, the fixing shaft 502 for fixing the conveying belt 50 is detachable. The fixing shaft 502 which is coupled with the conveying belt 50 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveying belt 50 and fixes the conveying belt 50 is detachable from the main body 10 and includes a fixing screw 502 and a fixing shaft 502, The transfer belt 50 can be separated from the main body 10 and thus the transfer belt 50 can be easily sanitized.

Meanwhile, the body 10 may be coupled to the calleigh unit 13 adjacent to the rotary blade 30. The curl unit 13 can be detachably coupled to the main body 10 and can be brought into contact with or spaced from the rotary blade 30 in a pushing or rotating manner. That is, when the rotary knife 30 is rotated, the rotary knife 30 is sharply cut when the rotary knife 13 is pressed or rotated against the rotary blade 30. The calleigh unit 13 may be permanently coupled to the main body 10 or may be detachably fixed.

Further, the main body 10 may include a fixing roller 14 that supports or presses the supply unit 20. The fixing roller 14 is fixed to the main body 10 and serves to prevent the supply unit 20 from shaking or coming off while being rotated together with the supply unit 20. The fixing roller 14 can be supported at the lower portion of the supply unit 20 to prevent the supply unit 20 from hitting downward and can be engaged with the flange portion of the supply unit 20, Or to prevent vibration from occurring. 1 and 2, the fixing roller 14 rotates only when it is hingedly used and contacts the supply unit 20, and when the supply unit 20 is detached, the fixing roller 14 is in contact with the supply unit 20 .

Hereinafter, a cutting process of the food material cutting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a cutting process of the food material cutting apparatus of FIG. 1, and is a simplified representation of a process in which the food material F is rotated along the guide plate 40 and supplied to the rotary blade 30. In FIG. 6, the portion indicated by A1 and A2 is a straight line representing the A1 and A2 sections in the guide plate 40 of FIG. That is, in FIG. 6, the food material F passes through the A1 zone and the A2 zone is a part of the shape of the food material F rotating in the guide plate 40 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, a gap G is formed between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40. That is, the guide plate 40 is positioned lower than the rotary blade 30, and the gap G between the rotary blade 30 and the guide plate 40 becomes the thickness of the food material F to be cut. As described above, the guide plate 40 is formed such that the upper surface of the guide protrusion 42 is inclined upward toward the rotary blade 30. Thus, the food material F is fed so as to be gradually closer to the rotary blade 30 at an oblique angle. Thus, when the food material F is supplied so as to approach the rotary blade 30 gradually, the cutting effect of the food material F is enhanced. The food material F moves along the guide protrusion 42 while gradually narrowing the distance from the rotary blade 30 to increase the cutting effect and cut the thin food material of the soft material as well as the hard material. For example, when a soft material such as a cold meat is fed in a state that the rotary blade 30 and the guide protrusion 42 are horizontal, the food F is pushed and one end of the food F is rotated by the rotary blade 30, . Therefore, the cold meat can not be thinly cut. However, if the guide protrusion 42 is inclined upward toward the rotary blade 30 as shown in FIG. 6, the food material F such as a cold meat can be cut thinly without being pushed.

The food material F is moved along the flat surface portion 11 while being rotated by the supply unit 20 and is seated on the guide protrusion 42 along the inclined portion 44 of the guide plate 40. [ The food material F placed on the upper portion of the guide protrusion 42 is gradually raised obliquely toward the rotary blade 30 along the guide protrusion 42. In this process, the liquid O falling from the food material F flows into the trough 43 And drops into the liquid containing portion 60. [0064]

The liquid storage portion 60 can be coupled to and separated from the food material cutting device 1 and is easily replaced with another liquid storage portion 60 when the liquid storage portion 60 is filled with liquid. In addition, it is formed in a detachable structure, which is easy to clean and can maintain a clean sanitary condition.

On the other hand, the supply unit 20 can be replaced by various types of cartridges 22. Figs. 7 and 8 are exploded perspective views showing supply units of different shapes. Fig.

Referring to Figs. 7 and 8, the supply units 20a and 20b can cut various food materials by exchanging the cartridges 22a and 22b coupled to the frame 21. Fig. The receiving space 27 inside the cartridges 22a and 22b is partitioned by the partition 29a to divide the receiving space 27 into various shapes and sizes. 7, when the partition wall portion 29a divides the accommodation space 27 inside the cartridge 22a into several small cylindrical shapes, it can accommodate round and small food materials such as apples, onions, carrots, or processed meat The first pressing member 23b is inserted into the space 27 and can be effectively cut by pressing the first pressing members 23a and 23b. As shown in FIG. 8, ) Is narrow and wide, it can be used to cut larger meat. The cartridges 22a and 22b may be used in various other shapes. The supply units 20a and 20b, the cartridges 22a and 22b, the first pressing members 23a and 23b and the partition wall 29a are formed in a structure which can be separated and coupled to the upper part. This facilitates internal cleaning of the members coupled to the supply units 20a and 20b, and is easy to clean and manage, such as removing food waste sticking between the partition portions 29a.

9 is an exploded perspective view showing another shape of the supply unit.

9, the supplying unit 20c of another shape is detachably coupled to the partition wall 29c inside the receiving space 27 of the cartridge 22c to partition the receiving space 27 in various ways . The cartridge 22c is fixed to the frame 21 by using a fixing member 25c formed on the upper surface of the frame 21 and a plurality of slots 292 can be formed inside the cartridge 22c, May be inserted into the slot 292 to divide the accommodation space 27. [ The partition 29c can be formed in various sizes and shapes and can be inserted into the appropriate slot 292 according to the shape and size of the foodstuff. The food material F is introduced into the accommodation space 27 divided by the partition 29c and the food material F can be pressed downward by the first pressing member 23c formed in accordance with the divided size. The first pressing member 23c may be formed in a suitable shape or size in consideration of the shape and size of the accommodation space 27 divided by the partition 29c.

The partition 29c is formed with a screw 291 at the upper end thereof, and can be fixed to the cartridge 22c. That is, after the partition 29c is inserted into the slot 292, the screw 291 can be inserted into the fixing groove 293 to prevent the partition 29c from coming off. By dividing the accommodating space 27 as necessary as described above, the partition wall portion 29c can cut food materials of various sizes and shapes without having to replace the cartridge 22c. The cartridge 22c is vertically coupled and detachable by the fixing member 25c and the partition 29c is engaged and disengaged from the supply unit 20c by the fastening of the screw 291 So that there is an advantage that it is easy to perform cleaning and cleaning management.

Hereinafter, the overall operation of the food material cutting apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is an operation diagram showing an operation process of the food material cutting apparatus of FIG. 1;

When the food material F is inserted into the supply unit 20, it is fixed by the first pressing member 23 and the second pressing member 24. The first pressing member 23 pushes the food material F downward by a load and the second pressing member 24 presses and fixes the food material F to the side portion by the elastic force. The second pressing member 24 can be effectively fixed so that the food F does not move when the size of the food F is smaller than that of the accommodating space 27 of the supply unit 20. [

When the food material cutting apparatus 1 starts to operate, the rotary blade 30 and the feed unit 20 rotate and supply the food material F to the rotary blade 30. [ The food material F is continuously moved along the guide plate 40 and is cut by the rotary blade 30. The cut food material F thus cut is conveyed to the outside of the main body 10 by the conveying belt 50.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken in conjunction with the present invention. You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
