Definitions

  • the invention concerns a method for cutting up products such as meat and fish, which products, are for example transported by means of a conveyor belt along a transport line comprising two conveyor belts which extend substantially in the same direction, that there is effected a detection of the size and/or the volume and/or mass of the products which are transported along these conveyors, that there is effected a determination of the desired cut positions for the products, and that there is carried out a control or regulation of the product transportation, so that a cutting up or cutting off can be effected at the desired cut positions, and an apparatus for the execution of the method.
  • Such methods are used when it is desirable to cut up different products which, for example, can be meat, fish or other food products, but which can also consist of products other than edible products, in pieces of a size which is predetermined, and especially in pieces which are of uniform size, volume and/or weight.
  • the products are transported along two weighing belts, each of which is connected to a computer, which activates a cutting knife for each belt.
  • the cutting knife/knives are activated to carry out a transverse cut at the individual belts. In this way, the products are cut up in a predetermined weight by the cutting knives at each their belts.
  • this method is relatively complicated, the reason being that it comprises two cutting knives which must be activated for cutting up the products independently of each other at each their transport lines.
  • control or regulation of the product transport is finally effected by controlling or regulation of two or more feeding conveyors in relation to each other/one another, and that the cutting-up or cutting-off of the products is effected by a cutting process which is common for the two or more feeding conveyors.
  • a detection unit can determine the cut position for each product so that the cut-off pieces are of the same predetermined size.
  • fig. 1 shows a side view of an apparatus according to the invention for the cutting up of products
  • fig. 2 shows the apparatus seen from above along the section ll-ll in fig. 1.
  • products 1 which are to be cut up in suitable and/or uniform pieces are supplied to the cutting system by means of a conveyor belt 2 which, like the remaining conveyor belts which are described in the following, are moved around rollers or the like in a commonly-known manner.
  • the products 1 are fed over to the feeding conveyors 3a and 3b, in that the products herewith pass a roller, drum or a cylinder 4.
  • the function of this roller 4 is to position the underside of the products in a plane so that a rotating, circular knife 5, which in the figures is shown placed above the roller 4 and with its cutting plane at right-angles to the roller 4 and the conveyor belt 2, can cut completely through the product 1.
  • the product 1 By its passage of the roller 4 and the circular knife 5, the product 1 is thus cut into two pieces or product parts 6a and 6b. Each of these pieces is fed over to its individual feeding conveyors 3a and 3b. These conveyors extend substantially parallel and are driven individually by electric motors 12.
  • a scanning and data collection unit 7 which, in various ways and by means of various methods, can detect the size, for example the extent in the sideways direction or the profile, the volume and/or the mass of the product pieces 6a and 6b which pass the unit 7. This can be effected, for example, by means of electromagnetic beams, which carry out a scanning in a scanning area 10, in that from the unit 7 there is emitted a wave 8 which is reflected from the product to the unit 7 as a wave 9. Other forms of detection than those described can be used for the detection of the dimensions of the product pieces. On the basis of the detection and by means of a calculation unit, e.g.
  • the unit it can be determined at which places 11 in the passing products 6a and 6b a cut is to be made in order for the cut-off pieces to be of the size, the volume or the mass which has been predetermined and which is pre-programmed.
  • it can be determined at which cut positions 11 a cutting- through shall be effected in order for the cut-off pieces to be of substantially the same size, volume and/or mass/weight.
  • the products 6a' and 6b' are fed over to a conveyor belt 15, in that between the feeding conveyors 3a and
  • This cutting aggregate 13 which e.g. can be in the form of a knife element and which can effect a cutting-over of the products which are fed from the feeding conveyors 3a and 3b to the conveyor belt 15, at the same time and for example transversely to the direction of transport, is driven by a drive 14 which can be controlled depending on the sizes detected by the unit 7 and while making use, for example, of a computer control, e.g. the above-mentioned computer programme.
  • This regulation of the mutual positions of the feeding conveyors can, for example, be effected by the speed of one or both of the motors 12 being regulated up or down, so that a position is reached at which the cut positions are aligned with each other. Solely braking down the one motor in relation to the other can possibly effect the regulation.
  • control system For this regulation, use is made of the calculated information regarding the cut positions 11 , in that these can be determined, for example, in relation to the above-mentioned reference on each of the feeding conveyors 3a and 3b. It can thus be expedient for the control system also to contain a system for the determination and/or surveillance of a relevant position of each feeding conveyor.
  • the drive 14 is activated by means of the control system.
  • the cut-off pieces are transported further on the conveyor belt 15, which is driven by a motor 16, for further processing, packing etc.
  • the products 1 are divided along their length by means of a single, rotating circular knife 5, but use can be made of two or more such knives, which can divide the products into three or more parts. In such a case, use must also be made of the corresponding number of feeding conveyors 3a and 3b.
  • the dividing of the products into several parts by means of the rotating, circular knife 5 or a similar cutting arrangement can be dispensed with, in that the invention can find application where several products are transported side by side. There can thus be effected a feeding of several products in two or more parallel flows, so that the transport of individual products is effected to each of the feeding conveyors.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de découpe de produits, caractérisé en ce que les produits sont acheminés le long d'une chaîne de transport, au moyen d'un convoyeur à bande, en ce que les produits sont acheminés sur au moins deux convoyeurs (3a et 3b), lesquels s'étendent sensiblement dans la même direction, en ce qu'il s'effectue une détection de la taille et/ou du volume et/ou de la masse des produits (1) transportés par ces convoyeurs, et en ce qu'il est déterminé des positions de découpes souhaitées (11) pour ces produits. En outre, une commande ou régulation de l'acheminement des produits s'effectue de façon que la découpe ou le sectionnement des pièces puisse être exécuté aux endroits de coupe souhaités, afin que les pièces sectionnées possèdent une taille déterminée.
