Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for making cuts on the surface of Wiener sausages, frankfurter sausages, etc.

Traditionally, sausages such as Wiener sausages and frankfurter sausages have been widely eaten, but they are used for the purpose of improving heat conduction and shortening the cooking time using oil etc., as well as for improving texture, making them look more interesting, and when cooking. For the purpose of making the food look larger, as shown in Figure 1, when cooking, it is common to add
It is often heated and cooked after making the cut A.
The current situation is that the cuts are usually made with a kitchen knife or knife each time the food is cooked.

However, although the process of making cuts is extremely simple, the more sausages that need to be made, the more time it takes to make the cuts, which in turn increases the cooking time of the entire dish, making it difficult for cooks and housewives to This could have been a very troublesome task.

The present invention aims to eliminate the troublesome task of scoring sausages by pre-scoring sausages such as Wiener sausages and frankfurter sausages, and provides an apparatus for scoring sausages of this type. That is.

The structure of this proposal will be explained below.

That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for scoring sausages, which includes a conveyor mechanism for pinching and transferring sausages, and a cutting blade mechanism for making cuts on the surface of the sausages while the sausages are being pinched and transferred. The cutting blade mechanism
This device is characterized by a plurality of cutting blades arranged at regular intervals and at different angles so as to intersect the advancing direction of the sausages.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the present device, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the main part taken along the line A--A in FIG.

Reference numerals 1 and 1' designate endless chains serving as conveyor mechanisms for sandwiching and transporting the sausages 2. The sausages are sandwiched between the chains 1 and 1' and are transported in one direction. 3 and 3' are cutting blades for making cuts (cuts A as shown in Fig. 1) on the surface of the sausage, which are rotated by a motor and are preferably spaced at regular intervals as shown in the figure. A plurality of them are arranged at different angles so as to intersect with the direction in which the sausage travels. Numerals 4 and 4' are holes through which the blade portions of the cutting blades 3 and 3' are slightly exposed. Here, the cutting blade is not limited to the shape shown in the example, and may be a fixed blade. Furthermore, the angle and rotational speed of the cutting blade, and the conveyor speed of the sausages are adjusted as appropriate, taking into account the number and spacing of cuts to be made on the sausages.

Note that 5 and 5' are sprockets for suspending the endless chain, and 6 and 6' are sprockets for preventing noise and loosening when the endless chains 1 and 1' rotate. Furthermore, instead of the endless chain used in the above embodiment, an endless belt may be used, and in short, any belt that can hold and transfer sausages may be used.

The present device configured as described above operates as follows.

That is, the sausage 2 to be scored is held between the endless chains 1 and 1' and transported in one direction. In synchronization with this transfer, a switch is turned on and the cutting blade 3 rotates, and a cut is made on the surface of the sausage 2 that has been transferred to this position.Then, the cutting blade 3' changes its direction. A cut is made again. After the predetermined cuts have been made, the sausage 2 is transferred as it is between the endless chains 1 and 1' and collected in a separately provided collection container (not shown).

The incision device constructed and used as described above has the following effects.

(1) According to the device of the present invention, cuts are automatically made on the surface of the sausages while they are being held and transferred to the endless chain, so there is no need to make new cuts at home or in a restaurant as in the past. Since there is no cooking time at all, it saves cooking time and is reasonable.

(2) Also, unlike the cuts that are made later at home or in a restaurant, you can always make consistent cuts, so you can cook food that increases your appetite.

(3) Furthermore, according to the present device, there is no need to use a knife or the like to make cuts, so there is no risk of injury and it is extremely safe.
