Description

Meat Slicer {MEAT SLICER}

The present invention relates to a meat slicer for automatically slicing meat chunks sent out from the meat containing portion into slices.

As this kind of meat slicer, the meat accommodating part which accommodates a mass of meat in the inclined side and arrange | positioning this meat accommodating part in the direction substantially parallel to a slice cutlery is carried out, and the meat accommodated in the meat accommodating part The lower end of the chunk is sliced, and each time, the chunk of meat in the meat accommodating portion is caused to slide down by the thickness of the slice by its own weight.

In the meat slicer that slices the meat chunks using the weight of the meat chunks, the impact of the meat chunks on the lower end of the meat chunks, and the chunks of meat chunks cannot be sliced cleanly. In order to prevent this, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. HO9-29691 and HO9-136293, the meat holding member is provided to be slidably movable along the inclined surface of the meat containing portion, and the meat mass housed in the meat containing portion is placed. By pressing firmly by the weight of a meat pressing member, there exists an attempt to prevent the floatation of the meat mass at the time of slice.

In general, when slicing meat loaf thinly, the meat loaf in the frozen state is to be sliced. However, since the meat loaf in the frozen state becomes quite hard, when the slicing blade collides against the lower end of the frozen meat loaf, Frozen chunks of meat are about to be pushed up by considerable force. For this reason, only pressing the frozen meat chunks by the weight of the meat pressing member does not sufficiently prevent the rise of the meat chunks when the cutlery for slicing has collided, and the frozen meat chunks can be sliced cleanly and thinly. Can't.

As a countermeasure, it is conceivable that the weight of the meat pressing member is sufficiently heavy to prevent the floatation of the meat mass, but when it is returned to the vicinity of the upper end of the meat receiving portion, Since the worker needs to lift the heavy meat pressing member from the lower end portion of the meat receiving portion to the vicinity of the upper end portion with force, the lifting of the heavy meat pressing member to the vicinity of the upper end portion of the meat receiving portion is difficult for female workers with weak force. It becomes very harsh and dangerous.

In order to improve such a fault, as shown in FIG. 9, the stopping member 2 is attached to the meat pressing member 1, and the up-and-down movement is provided through the shaft 2a, and this stopping stops. While pushing the member 2 in the clockwise direction in Fig. 9 by a spring or the like, the toothed rack 4 engaged with the stopping member 2 is parallel to the moving direction of the meat pressing member 1. When the meat pressing member 1 descends, the meat pressing member 1 swings along the shape of the teeth 3 of the rack 4 in a state where the stopping member 2 has an upward inclination. By allowing the member 1 to descend and engaging the tooth 3 of the rack 4 in a state where the stopping member 2 has an upward inclination when the meat pressing member 1 is about to be pushed up, It prevents pushing up of the meat holding member 1 and floats the meat mass at the time of slice You can think of preventing this.

However, the push-up prevention mechanism of the meat pressing member 1 of such a structure has the clearance of the pitch part of the tooth part 3 of the rack 4, and the meat pressing member 1 is the rack 4 at the maximum. It is pushed up by the pitch part of the tooth part 3 of a. Therefore, even in this configuration, the rise of the meat mass at the time of slicing cannot be completely prevented, and the meat mass in the frozen state cannot be sliced cleanly and thinly.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and therefore, an object of the present invention is to reliably prevent the rise of meat chunks at the time of slicing and to make meat chunks uniform even when the weight of the meat pressing member is not so heavy. The present invention provides a sliced meat slicer.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, while pressing the meat loaf accommodated in the meat accommodating portion from the upper side to the meat pressing member, the lower end portion of the meat loaf obliquely sent downward or downward from the meat accommodating portion (slice) A meat meat slicer configured to slice with a dragon blade, the movement direction regulating mechanism allowing only the lowering of the meat pressing member and preventing the rise, and canceling the rising stopping state of the meat pressing member by the movement direction regulating mechanism. It was set as the structure which installed the deregulation mechanism.

In this structure, when slicing the meat mass, the rise of the meat pressing member can be prevented in a state where there is no play while allowing the meat pressing member to descend by the moving direction regulating mechanism. As a result, even in the case of slicing the meat lump in a relatively hard frozen state, it is possible to surely prevent the rise of the meat lump at the time of slicing, and to slice the meat lump in the frozen state uniformly and thinly. In addition, since the meat temperature can be sliced even if the meat temperature has been significantly hardened by lowering the freezing temperature, the freezing temperature of the meat mass can be lowered, and the frozen state of the sliced meat pieces can be kept relatively long in a merchandise showcase in front of the store. There is also an advantage in that the deterioration of the quality of the slices can be prevented and the distribution and management of the sliced slices can be easily performed.

On the other hand, when returning the meat pressing member lowered to the vicinity of the lower end of the meat accommodating part to the vicinity of the upper end of the meat accommodating part, the meat pressing member is released by canceling the lift-off state of the meat pressing member by the moving direction regulating mechanism by the deregulation mechanism. It becomes possible to raise. In the present invention, the weight of the meat pressing member does not have to be heavy, so that even a female worker with weak force can lift the meat pressing member from the vicinity of the lower end portion to the vicinity of the upper end portion of the meat accommodating portion. It can improve safety.

The movement direction regulating mechanism according to the present invention can be considered in various configurations. For example, the movement direction regulating mechanism includes a rack gear extending in a direction to send meat and a pinion gear engaged with the rack gear. Pinion gear) and a one-way clutch that permits only forward rotation of the pinion gear and prevents reverse rotation. In this way, the reverse rotation stopping function of the general one-way clutch which can be used in the rotation transmission system can be used to prevent the lifting of the meat pressing member without any rattling.

Furthermore, the deregulation mechanism may be configured to release the state in which the rise of the meat pressing member is prevented by removing the engagement between the rack gear and the pinion gear. In this way, there is no need to provide a mechanism for releasing the reverse rotation stop function on the one-way clutch itself, and the mechanism for lifting the meat pressing member is prevented by simply removing the engagement between the rack gear and the pinion gear. can do.

Moreover, this invention may be set as the structure which the said rack gear also serves as the slide shaft which guides the slide movement of the meat pressing member in the up-down direction. This configuration has the advantage of contributing to the reduction of the number of parts, the reduction of cost, and the compactness. However, it goes without saying that the present invention may have a configuration in which the slide shaft for guiding the slide movement in the vertical direction of the meat pressing member is provided separately from the rack gear.

In addition, although the meat accommodating part may be arrange | positioned so that a meat mass may be sent obliquely downward, the meat accommodating part may be arrange | positioned so that a meat mass may be sent out substantially vertically, and the cutlery for slicing may be arranged in the lower part of the meat mass below the meat accommodating part. Arrange to slice. In this way, the meat mass of the meat accommodating portion can be slid down toward the slicing blade by using the weight of the meat lump and the weight of the meat pressing member to the maximum, and the meat mass can be smoothly sent out in the direction of the slicing blade.

In addition, in consideration of the case where the sliced meat pieces are rolled in a cylindrical shape or a spiral shape, the meat pieces are rolled in a substantially cylindrical shape or in a spiral shape. A means may be provided. In this case, sliced pieces of slices can be rolled up automatically by the pieces of rolled pieces, so that the worker does not need to manually assemble the sliced pieces of slices into roll shapes, and even if they are not skilled, the slices are sliced extremely efficiently and safely. The pieces of meat may be uniformly rolled together in a roll shape.

3 and 4, a crank arm 44 is attached to the output shaft of the reduction geared motor 43 for driving the flat blade 15, and above the crank arm 44, Two slide shafts 45 are provided so as to extend in the reciprocating direction of the flat blade holder 15. The slide metal 46 is supported by these slide shafts 45 so that a slide movement is possible, and this slide metal 46 and the crank arm 44 are connected through the arm collar 47. Moreover, the blade shaft 48 is clamped and fixed to the slide metal 46 by the bolt etc., and the flat blade shaft 15 is connected to this blade shaft 48. As a result, the rotational motion of the crank arm 44 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the slide metal 46 via the arm collar 47, and the flat blade 15 integrally with the slide metal 46. Is reciprocated in the front-back direction of the meat slicer (the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the meat box 13).

In addition, the groove part is formed in the joint part 49 with the flat blade part 15 in the blade shaft 48, the edge part of the flat blade part 15 is inserted in the groove part of the joint part 49, and the joint part 49 is provided. ), The flat blade holder 15 is fixed to the blade shaft 48 by narrowing the groove of the joint portion 49 by tightening the tightening ring 50 of the joint. In addition, as shown in Fig. 7, the flat blade paste 15 has the two pressing plates 51, 52 attached to the two pressing plates 51, 52 with the bolts 53 in the state in which the rear portions 15a are fitted to the two pressing plates 51, 52. By tightening and fixing to the blade support plate 14, it is supported by the blade support plate 14 so that a slide movement is possible in the front-back direction.

Next, the structure of the meat pressing device 69 is demonstrated using FIG. 5 and FIG.

On the support arm 70 (refer to FIG. 1) provided at the right end of the meat box 13, the slide shaft 25 is provided so that it may extend in an up-down direction, and on this slide shaft 25, the upper surface of the meat mass 12 The upper pressing plate 26 (meat pressing member) for pressing is inserted and supported in such a manner as to slide in the vertical direction. The upper pressing plate 26 is provided with a slit 27 for avoiding collision with the seat pressing bar 21 (refer to FIG. 2), and the side of the upper pressing plate 26 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the meat box 13. The guide roller 71 which rotates is attached. In addition, between the meat box 13 and the upper pressing plate 26, a moving direction regulating mechanism 72 that regulates a moving direction of the upper pressing plate 26, and an upper pressing plate by the moving direction regulating mechanism 72. A deregulation mechanism 73 for releasing the regulation of the moving direction of 26 is provided.

First, the movement direction regulating mechanism 72 is demonstrated. As shown in Fig. 5, on the support arm 70 of the meat box 13, the rack gear 74 is provided so as to extend in the vertical direction in parallel with the slide shaft 25, and the rack gear 74 The engaged pinion gear 75 is mounted to the gear box 77 provided on the upper surface pressing plate 26 side via the one-way clutch 76 therebetween. This one-way clutch 76 is arranged so that only the rotation of the pinion gear 75 in the forward rotation direction (the direction shown by the arrow B in FIG. 6) is possible to prevent reverse rotation.

6, the direction in which the upper pressing plate 26 slides in the direction of sending meat (downward), that is, the direction in which the pinion gear 75 slides downward with respect to the rack gear 74. The pinion gear 75 is in the forward rotational direction of the pinion gear 75, and the pinion gear 75 is oriented with respect to the direction in which the upper pressing plate 26 slides in the reverse direction (upward) to the direction in which meat is sent. The direction of sliding upward is set to be the reverse rotation direction of the pinion gear 75. Therefore, only the slide movement (falling) in the direction (downward) of sending the meat of the upper pressing plate 26 is possible by the reverse rotation stopping function of the one-way clutch 76 described above, and the meat of the upper pressing plate 26 can be removed. The slide movement (rising) in the sending direction and the reverse direction (upward) is prevented.

Next, the deregulation mechanism 73 will be described. As shown in Fig. 6, a plurality of slide shafts 79 are tightened and fixed by bolts 80 and the like to the support portion 78 provided to move integrally with the upper pressing plate 26, and these slide shafts 79 ), The gear box 77 is fitted to be slidably movable. Each slide shaft 79 is fitted with a spring 81 between the support portion 78 and the gear box 77, so that the gear box 77 moves in the direction of the rack gear 74 by these springs 81. Pushed to

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the deregulation lever 82 is rotatably provided in the support part 78 via the rotation shaft 83, and the front-end | tip part of this deregulation lever 82 is gearbox. It touches the inner wall surface of 77. As shown in FIG. In the vicinity of the regulation release lever 82, a fixing lever 84 fixed to the support portion 78 is provided.

Usually, since the gear box 77 moves toward the rack gear 74 by the pushing force of the spring 81, the pinion gear 75 is held in engagement with the rack gear 74. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the deregulation lever 82 and the fixed lever 84 are held together and the deregulation lever 82 is rotated in the deregulation direction (the direction shown by an arrow C in Fig. 5), the gear box 77 regulates. Since it is pushed by the distal end of the release lever 82 and moves in a direction away from the rack gear 74, the engagement between the pinion gear 75 and the rack gear 74 is released. As a result, the state in which the rise of the upper pressing plate 26 is prevented by the movement direction regulating mechanism 72 is released.

Moreover, the holding part 85 which keeps the upper side press plate 26 in a retracted position is provided in the upper side side of the meat box 13, and the upper side press plate 26 is moved to the upper side of the meat box 13 further. In the slide-moving state, the upper pressing plate 26 is rotated about the slide shaft 25 in the retraction direction (the direction shown by the arrow D in FIG. 5) to hold a part of the upper pressing plate 26. ), The upper pressing plate 26 can be evacuated to the side of the meat box 13.

Next, the structure of the meat shredding roll apparatus 16 is demonstrated using FIG.7 and FIG.8.

As shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, in the vicinity of the flat blade pasting machine 15, a roll belt 54 for guiding and bending the sliced meat slices slid from the flat blade pasting machine 15 in the roll direction is a driving roller ( 55 and the driven roller 56, and are arranged in an inclined shape. The surface of this roll belt 54 is provided with a number of projections for preventing the sliced meat pieces from slipping, so that the sliced meat pieces can be reliably bent in the roll direction.

On the other hand, at the rear of the meat box 13, the rack gear 57 which is integrally reciprocated with the meat box 13 is fixed with a bolt or the like, and the pinion gear 58 meshed with the rack gear 57, Rotation is supported by the gear support part 59 freely. Moreover, the drive gear 60 meshed with this pinion gear 58 is rotatably supported by the gear support part 61, and the rotation shaft of this drive gear 60 is the drive roller 55 of the belt 54 for rolls. )

Thereby, the reciprocating motion of the meat box 13 is converted into the rotational motion of the pinion gear 58 by the rack gear 57 and the pinion gear 58, and furthermore, the rotational motion of this pinion gear 58 is Inverted by the drive gear 60 and transmitted to the drive roller 55, the roll belt 54 is driven. In this case, when the meat box 13 moves in the direction of slicing the meat loaf 12 (left direction in FIG. 7), the driving roller 55 rotates in the forward rotation direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 7). The roll belt 54 rotates in the direction of rolling the sliced pieces of meat (the direction shown by the solid arrows in FIG. 7). On the other hand, when the meat box 13 moves to the direction (back direction in FIG. 7) returning to the slice thickness adjustment board 28 side, the drive roller 55 will move in a reverse rotation direction (counterclockwise rotation direction in FIG. 7). It rotates, and the roll belt 54 rotates in the direction which discharges the sliced slice pieces of meat diagonally downward to the left (direction shown by the dotted line arrow in FIG. 7).

In addition, the meat slice roll device 16 is provided with a roll diameter adjusting mechanism 62 for adjusting the roll diameter of the slice meat slice. Hereinafter, this roll diameter adjustment mechanism 62 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 7, the rotation shaft of the driven roller 56 of the belt 54 for rolls is supported by the roll diameter adjustment arm 63 formed in circular arc shape. In this roll diameter adjustment arm 63, the slide groove 64 is formed so that it may extend in circular arc shape centering on the rotating shaft of the drive roller 55, and this slide groove 64 will be provided in the main body mount 11 side. The fixed fixed shaft 65 is fitted to allow relative movement. Thereby, the driven roller 56 and the roll diameter adjustment arm 63 are provided so that slide movement is possible within the range of the width | variety of the slide groove 64 centering on the rotating shaft of the drive roller 55. As shown in FIG.

In this case, when the driven roller 56 and the roll diameter adjustment arm 63 are slid to the left and right direction, the roll belt 54 rotates to the left and right direction centering on the rotation shaft of the drive roller 55, and the roll belt The space | interval of 54 and the flat blade pasting machine 15 is adjusted, and the roll diameter of slice slice pieces is adjusted. In addition, when the locking knob 66 installed on the fixed shaft 65 is turned in the locking direction (tightening direction), the roll diameter adjusting arm 63 is fixed to the fixed shaft 65, and the roll belt 54 and the flat blade are attached. The interval with (15) is fixed.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 7, a roll auxiliary plate 67 is provided above the roll belt 54 to assist the curling of the sliced meat pieces, and the dried sliced meat pieces are placed on the left side of the roll belt 54. The guide passage 68 is guided to the lower piece of meat saucer 17.

In the meat meat slicer configured as described above, when the meat chunk 12 is sliced, the frozen meat chunk 12 is first set in the meat box 13, and the upper surface pressing plate 26 is placed on the meat chunk 12. Is placed, and the upper surface of the meat mass 12 is pressed in the direction of sending meat (down) by the upper surface pressing plate 26. Thereafter, the meat box 13 is reciprocated in the left and right direction (the direction shown by arrow A in FIG. 1), and the flat blade 15 is moved back and forth (the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the meat box 13). To reciprocate. At this time, the meat chunks 12 in the meat crates 13 are fed vertically downward by the weight of the meat chunks and the upper pressing plate 26 and the like, and the meat crates 13 are in the slice direction (left direction in FIG. 1). At the time of movement, the lower end part of the meat loaf 12 sent out is sliced by the flat blade paste 15 at a predetermined thickness, and the sliced meat pieces are discharged to the lower side of the flat blade paste 15.

In this slicing operation, there is no play where the upper surface pressing plate 26 is raised while allowing the upper pressing plate 26 to descend with the lowering of the meat mass 12 by the movement direction regulating mechanism 72. You can stop at. As a result, even in the case of slicing the meat lumps 12 in a relatively hard frozen state, it is possible to reliably prevent the rise of the meat lumps 12 at the time of slicing, and to make the frozen meat lumps 12 uniform and thin. You can slice. In addition, since the freezing temperature can be lowered and even the hardened meat chunks 12 can be sliced, the freezing temperature of the meat chunks 12 can be lowered to maintain the frozen state of the sliced meat pieces at a storefront in front of the store for a relatively long time. It is also possible to prevent the deterioration of the quality of the sliced meat pieces, and to facilitate the distribution and management of the sliced meat pieces.

Further, during the slice operation, the meat slice roll device 16 is rotated in the direction in which the roll belt 54 rolls the slice meat slices when the meat box 13 moves in the slice direction, so that the flat blade paste 15 The sliced meat scraps discharged to the lower side are bent while being forcibly sent out in the roll direction by the roll belt 54, and dried in a substantially cylindrical or vortex form with a uniform size. Thereafter, when the meat box 13 moves in the direction of returning to the slice thickness adjusting plate 28 side, the roll belt 54 rotates in the reverse direction, and the dried slice meat pieces are obliquely downward to the left side of the belt 54 for rolls. Discharged. The rolled slice slice pieces are received by the slice pieces of sauce plate 17.

After completion of the slicing operation, when the upper surface pressing plate 26 lowered to the vicinity of the lower end of the meat box 13 with the delivery of the meat loaf 12 is returned to the vicinity of the upper end of the meat box 13, the deregulation mechanism ( When the deregulation lever 82 of 73 is rotated in the deregulation direction to release the state where the rise of the upper pressing plate 26 is prevented, the upper pressing plate 26 can be raised. In this embodiment, since the weight of the upper press plate 26 does not need to be heavy, the upper press plate 26 can be easily moved upwards with little force, and the burden on an operator can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, the movement direction regulating mechanism 72 restricts the slide movement of the pinion gear 75 with respect to the rack gear 74 only in the direction which sends meat by the one-way clutch 76, The upper surface Since the direction of movement of the pressure plate 26 is regulated, the reverse rotation stop function of the general one-way clutch 76 which can be used for the rotation transmission system can be used to prevent the upward pressure of the pressure plate 26 from being pushed up. At the same time, the movement direction regulating mechanism 72 can be made compact. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the deregulation mechanism 73 releases the engagement between the rack gear 74 and the pinion gear 75 so as to release the state where the rise of the upper pressing plate 26 is prevented. It is not necessary to provide a mechanism for releasing the reverse rotation blocking function in the clutch 76 itself, and the movement direction of the upper pressing plate 26 is an extremely simple mechanism only by removing the engagement between the rack gear 74 and the pinion gear 75. This regulated state can be released and the cost can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the meat box 13 was arrange | positioned so that the meat loaf 12 may be transmitted substantially perpendicularly downward, and the flat blade paste 15 was arrange | positioned under the meat box 13, the meat chunk 12 By using the self-weight of the top plate and the weight of the upper pressing plate 26 to the maximum, the meat chunk 12 of the meat box 13 can be slid down toward the flat blade cutter 15, and the mechanism for delivering the meat chunk 12 to The meat chunks 12 can be smoothly sent out in the direction (vertical direction) of the flat blade paste 15 while being omitted and reduced in cost.

However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration in which the meat box 13 is arranged to send the meat chunk 12 almost vertically, and the meat so that the meat chunk 12 is fed obliquely downward (slid down). The box 13 may be arranged in an inclined shape.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the meat slice roll apparatus 16 which rolls a slice meat slice into a substantially cylindrical form or a whirlpool form is provided, the slice meat slice can be rolled automatically by the meat slice roll apparatus 16, The operator does not need to manually assemble the sliced pieces of meat into roll shapes, and even if not skilled, the sliced pieces of meat pieces can be uniformly rolled into a roll shape extremely efficiently and safely.

In addition, you may change the structure of the meat scraps roll apparatus 16 suitably. In addition, this invention is not limited to the structure which provided the meat slice roll apparatus 16, You may make it the structure which does not roll slice meat slice by omitting the meat slice roll apparatus 16. FIG.

In the present embodiment described above, the slide shaft 25 for guiding the slide movement in the vertical direction of the upper pressing plate 26 is provided in parallel with the rack gear 74 of the movement direction regulating mechanism 72. In another embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 2, the slide shaft 25 is omitted, and the rack gear 91 of the movement direction regulating mechanism 90 guides the slide movement in the vertical direction of the upper surface pressing plate 26. It is also used as a slide axis. In this case, the rack gear 91 forms a metal round bar in cross section D shape, and forms a gear in the flat surface part of the round bar. Since the structure of the movement direction regulating mechanism 90 other than this rack gear 91 is substantially the same as the movement direction regulation mechanism 72 of the said embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted. In this structure, since the slide shaft 25 can be omitted, there is an advantage that it can contribute to component point reduction, low cost, and compactness.

In addition, this invention does not deviate from the summary, such as changing the structure of the movement direction regulating mechanisms 72 and 90 and the deregulation mechanism 73 suitably, or using a round blade as a slice blade. It can be changed in various ways as long as it does not.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, even when slicing the meat lump 12 in a relatively hard frozen state, it is possible to reliably prevent the rise of the meat lump 12 at the time of slicing. It is effective to slice 12) uniformly and thinly.

In addition, since the weight of the upper pressing plate 26 does not have to be heavy, the upper pressing plate 26 can be easily moved upward with little force, thereby reducing the burden on the operator.

In addition, since the freezing temperature can be lowered and even the hardened meat chunks 12 can be sliced, the freezing temperature of the meat chunks 12 can be lowered to keep the frozen state of the sliced meat pieces relatively long in a storefront of a store. It is also possible to prevent the deterioration of the quality of the sliced meat pieces, and to facilitate the distribution and management of the sliced meat pieces.
