Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Technical field) The present invention relates to a cutting device for sweets, etc.

(Prior Art) A cutting device is known that includes a feeding mechanism that feeds dough for confectionery, etc., and a cutter that is located at the end of the feeding mechanism and descends to cut the dough.

The fabric cut by this type of cutting device is received in a tray or the like and sent to the next process, but especially when cutting highly viscous fabric, the cut fabric tends to stick to the back of the cutter, resulting in uneven production. It is easy to fall into a saucer, etc. For this reason, it takes time and effort to rearrange these items, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency and adversely affecting the next process.

(Purpose of the present invention) The present invention was developed based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to ensure that the fabric cut by the cutter falls uniformly, thereby reducing work efficiency and adversely affecting the next process. The purpose is to prevent this.

(Description of Examples) Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cutting device according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cutting device according to the present invention;
The figure is also a side view.

In these, 1 indicates a cutting device for cutting the confectionery dough 2. The cutting device 1 includes a feeding mechanism 3 for feeding the fabric 2, a cutter 4 located at the terminal end of the feeding mechanism 3, and an arm member 10 described below located on the opposite side of the feeding mechanism 3 with respect to the cutter 4. . The feeding mechanism 3 consists of a roller 5 that rotates intermittently and a belt 6 wrapped around the roller 5, and feeds the fabric 2 forward intermittently so that a predetermined amount of the fabric 2 protrudes forward from the support base 3a. .

The cutter 4 is moved up and down by a crank arm 7 that converts the rotational motion of the roller 5 into reciprocating motion. The cutter 4 shown in FIG. 2 is at the uppermost position, and immediately after the feeding mechanism 3 sends the fabric 2 forward, it descends to cut the tip of the fabric 2, that is, a predetermined amount protruding forward from the support base 3a. do. After cutting is completed, the cutter 4 rises and returns to the uppermost position.

8 is a receiving tray for receiving the small pieces 2a cut by the cutter 4;
A is sent to a pot (not shown) for baking.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an arm member for preventing the fabric 2 cut by the cutter 4 from adhering to the back surface of the cutter 4. S is an arm portion 11a extending from the cutting device 1;
It is a rotating shaft rotatably supported by a receiving portion 11b provided in the. The arm member 10 extends substantially horizontally from the rotation axis S toward the cutter 4, descends around the rotation axis S, and draws a downward locus close to the back surface of the cutter 4. A base 12 that rotates together with the rotation shaft S is provided at one end of the rotation shaft S, and a receiving piece 13 and a pin 14 are attached to the base 12 by welding. A bolt 15 is screwed into a nut 16 attached to the crank arm 7, and is positioned above the receiving piece 13 with a space in between when the cutter 4 is in the uppermost position. The bolt 15 descends as the crank arm 7 descends, that is, the cutter 4 descends.
As the cutter 4 continues to descend, the bolt 15 comes into contact with the receiving piece 13 and pushes it down, rotating the rotating shaft S and lowering the arm member 10.

17 is a return spring stretched between the pin 14 and the arm portion 11a, and is used to raise the arm member 10 and return it to a substantially horizontal position as the cutter 4 rises after cutting is completed. It gives an urging force.

After the bolt 15 contacts the receiving piece 13, the arm member 10 descends as the cutter 4 cuts the fabric 2, but immediately before the cutter 4 completes the cutting operation, the arm member 10 contacts the upper surface of the tip of the fabric 2. The amount of downward protrusion of the bolt 15 from the nut 16 is set so that the bolts 15 are in contact with each other. That is, for thick fabrics, bolt 1
What is necessary is to reduce the amount of protrusion of 5 and delay the timing of contact with the receiving piece 13. The opposite is true for thin fabrics. It should be noted that the term "immediately before the completion of the cutting operation" here refers to the timing at which the fabric 2 is not significantly deformed due to the arm member 10 brushing off the fabric 2 when the arm member 10 comes into contact with the fabric 2 and brushes it downward. Bye.

Next, the operation of the cutting device 1 configured as above will be explained. The fabric 2 is sent forward by the feeding mechanism 3, but the roller 5 stops rotating once the fabric 2 protrudes a predetermined amount from the support base 3a (see FIG. 3). In this state, the cutter 4 begins to descend and begins cutting the fabric 2. When the cutting of the fabric 2 progresses to a certain extent and the cutter 4 descends to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Start. When the cutting of the fabric 2 further progresses and the cutter 4 descends to a position 4A immediately before the completion of the cutting operation shown in FIG. 4, the arm member 10 comes into contact with the upper surface of the tip 2A of the fabric 2 (10A). As the cutting progresses further, the cutter 4
As the arm member 10 descends, the bolt 15 is closer to the rotation axis S than the cutter 4.
The amount of descent of the 0 tip is greater. Therefore, during the short period when the cutter 4 cuts the fabric 2 and descends to the position 4B, the arm member 10 moves from 10A to 10B.
It descends greatly to the position , drops the tip 2A of the dough 2 as shown at 2B, brushes it off to the position 2C, and arranges it uniformly on the saucer 8.

In this way, the arm member 10 comes into contact with the fabric 2 immediately before the cutting operation of the cutter 4 is completed, and brushes off the tip 2A of the fabric 2. Therefore, the arm member 10 can cut the fabric 2 at the tip while minimizing the deformation of the fabric 2 caused by the brushing off of the arm member 10. It is possible to prevent the part 2A from adhering to the cutter 4 and allow it to fall uniformly. In addition, as in this example, bolt 1
If the cutter 5 is placed closer to the rotation axis S than the cutter 4,
Since the arm member 10 descends significantly after it contacts the fabric 2 until the cutting is completed, it is possible to more reliably prevent the tip portion 2A from adhering to the front surface of the cutter. Furthermore, in this example,
Although the arm member 10 is lowered around the rotation axis S, it may be configured to lower in parallel to the feeding direction of the feeding mechanism 3.

(Effects of the present invention) As described above, the present invention is provided with an arm member that is located on the opposite side of the feed mechanism to the cutter that cuts the fabric and has a downward locus close to the cutter, and this arm member is used for the cutting motion of the cutter. The structure is such that it descends in conjunction with the movement, forcing the fabric to fall. Therefore, the fabric cut by the cutter falls uniformly without adhering to the back surface of the cutter, so there is no need to rearrange the fallen fabric, improving work efficiency. Moreover, the arm member is
Since the cutter comes into contact with the tip of the fabric immediately before the cutting operation is completed, deformation of the fabric by the arm member can be minimized, without impairing marketability.
