Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a device for preventing slice pieces from bending in a frozen meat slicer.

<Conventional technology and its problems> A hopper is installed upright on a turntable, and a thickness adjustment plate is also installed directly below the table, and a rotating round blade facing between the top and bottom of the plate is used to create a hopper.
There are known slicers for slicing frozen meat (also referred to as material) that falls under its own weight from a hopper, but in the conventional product, the edge of the thickness adjustment plate 1 and the rotating The cutting edge of the round blade 2 is arranged in such a manner that there is almost no overlap when viewed from above and below, and therefore the slice piece m cut as the turntable 3 rotates Guided by the lower flank surface 4 of the round blade 2, it will be immediately and sharply curled downward, and especially when the material M is highly frozen hard meat, in the process of being curled downward, There is a defect in which the fibers are bent and separated from the striations, which impairs the product value.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and for this purpose, a material loading hopper is installed upright on the top surface of the rotating turntable, and a hopper is also installed directly below the table. By installing a thickness adjustment plate in such a position that it can be raised and lowered, and by placing the rotary round blade in a relationship that overlaps the table between the upper and lower sides of the table and the adjustment plate, it is possible to prevent the lumps that fall from the hopper by their own weight. In a frozen meat slicer that receives the material with an adjustment plate and cuts the slices to a constant thickness as the table rotates, the adjustment plate extends the edge of the circular blade corresponding to the cutting edge by an extension guide plate. It is characterized by being extended so that it overlaps the lower flank face of the round blade by a certain band width, so that the cut slice piece is automatically and smoothly guided to fall without bending. It is.

<Example> Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated example. In Figures 1 to 5, which schematically represent the entire frozen meat slicer, F is an installation machine casing; Inside it is a turntable 11
and motors 13 and 14 that serve as driving sources for the round blade 12.
is installed. Reference numeral 15 denotes a bearing cylinder which is erected and fixed on the upper surface of the machine casing F, and the lower end of the rotary drive shaft 16 for round blades passing through this is connected to the pulley 1 in the machine casing F.
The motor 14 is connected to the corresponding motor 14 via a belt 18 or the like. Therefore, the round blade 12 is attached and fixed to the upper end of the drive shaft 16.
is rotationally driven by the motor 14. Reference numeral 19 denotes a safety cover for the round blade supported by the bearing tube 15.

Moreover, 20 is the bearing cylinder 15 of the rotary drive shaft 16 for round blades.
This is also a bearing tube that is fixed upright on the upper surface of the machine casing F so as to be parallel to this, and supports the rotary drive shaft 21 for the turntable. The turntable 11 is fixed to the upper end of the drive shaft 21 so as to be able to rotate together, and the lower end of the drive shaft 21 is connected to a coupling 22, a pulley 23, a belt 24, a worm, etc. It is transmission connected to the motor 13, which is its driving source, through a speed reducer or the like.

In that case, as is clear from FIGS. 3 to 5, the turntable 11 and the round blade 12 are partially separated when viewed from above and below, assuming that the former is located above the latter by a certain height. They are arranged adjacent to each other, overlapping each other, and are driven to rotate in the same direction (counterclockwise when viewed from above in the example) as shown by arrows A and B in Fig. 5. ing.

In other words, the cutting edge of the round blade 12 that rotates at a higher speed than the turntable 11 slices the input material M from the hopper, which will be described later, to the conveyor 2 facing the space below the overlap portion L.
It is determined that the slice piece m is to be dropped to 5. However, it is of course also possible to set the material M to be sliced by rotating the turntable 11 and the round blade 12 in opposite directions.

S is a plurality of pieces arranged at regular intervals on the turntable 11 (in the example shown, a total of three pieces arranged in a radially symmetrical manner).
A material input hopper 26 that communicates with each of the material drop ports S is formed as a through-hole.
It is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the table 11 in an upright position with screws or the like. 27 is a material receiving plate held directly below the table 11 at the same height as the cutting edge of the round blade 12, and is integrally projected laterally from the bearing sleeve 20 of the table rotation drive shaft 21. It is supported from below in a stable and fixed state by a required number of support arms 28. A part of the receiving plate 27 is bent upward as a safety cover 29 for the table 11.

On the other hand, the reference numeral 30 designates a thickness adjusting plate facing directly below the turntable 11, and is fixedly supported from below by a screw support 31. Reference numeral 32 denotes a mounting leg that is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the machine casing F, and the threaded support 31 is received in a non-threaded state within the shaft cylinder portion of the mounting leg 32. 33 is the mounting leg 32
This is a rotation prevention regulating screw that is screwed into the groove 34 of the screw support 31, and thereby restricts the screw support 31 so that it can only move up and down.

Reference numeral 35 denotes an adjustment operation handle screwed onto the midway threaded portion of the screw support 31, and by rotating this handle, the screw support 31 of the thickness adjustment plate 30 can be adjusted.
performs only a lifting and lowering operation, and the cutting thickness T of the material M defined between the adjustment plate 30 and the cutting edge of the round blade 12 can be adjusted to a thick or thin dimension. Reference numeral 36 denotes a push bolt for positioning and fixing the adjusted height state, and is screwed into the screw column 31 from the mounting leg 32 so as to be freely movable forward and backward.

The material receiving plate 27 facing directly below the turntable 11 and its thickness adjusting plate 30 are
As suggested from the plan view of the figure, in relation to the rotation direction A of the table 11, the thickness adjustment plate 30 is located on the starting end side of the rotation direction A,
The material receiving plate 27 is also located on the advancing end side, and both plates 27 and 30 are arranged so as to divide the position immediately below the table 11 into two. Then, in a state where the lump-like material M falling from the hopper 26 under its own weight is caught by the thickness adjusting plate 30, the turntable 11
As the rotation progresses, the cutting edge of the round blade 12 slices the blade.

In that case, an extension guide plate 37 for preventing bending of the slice piece m is attached and fixed from below by screws 38 to the concave arc-shaped end edge of the thickness adjustment plate 30 facing the cutting edge of the round blade 12. has been done. That is,
As is clear from FIGS. 4 to 6, by making the extension guide plate 37 of the thickness adjusting plate 30 overlap the corresponding arcuate convex curved cutting edge of the round blade 12 by a certain band width W, The slice piece m being cut is guided in a reasonably smooth straight line along the mutual gap between the guiding plate 37 and the lower flank surface 39 of the round blade 12, so that the slice piece m is This prevents premature and sharp downward curling and bending.

Therefore, as long as this purpose can be achieved, the extension guide plate 37 can be formed continuously and integrally with the thickness adjusting plate 30, but in any case, both plates 30, 3
Of course, 7 is in contact with the slice piece m in a mutually flush state. The completely cut slice pieces m are then dropped onto the conveyor 25 as described above.
The conveyor 25 is pivotally supported within a guide frame 40 having a U-shaped cross section so as to be able to freely circulate. Reference numeral 41 denotes support legs of the guide frame 40, which are fixedly erected on the machine casing F. 42 is a geared motor that rotationally drives the rollers of the conveyor 25, and is covered by a cover case 43 connected to the top surface of the machine casing F. 44 is a switch box installed in the machine casing F. Furthermore, conveyor 25
A falling chute for taking out slices instead of
It goes without saying that it may be provided at the above specified position.

Further, numeral 45 is a material presser facing into each hopper 26, and includes a presser plate 47 with a needle 46 that comes into contact with the material M, and a guide rod 48 fixed vertically from the presser plate 47.
and a retaining grip 49 integrally attached to the upper end of the guide rod 48, which prevents the material M from moving upward by its own gravity. 5
0 is a bearing mast fixedly installed at the center of rotation of the turntable 11, and a support shaft 51 is screwed into this from above. 52 is a holding arm for connecting the support shaft 51 and the plurality of material pressers 45, and the base end boss portion thereof is connected to the support shaft 51.
The tip of each material presser 45 is loosely fitted so that it can be rotated horizontally, and the tip that projects laterally also
The guide rod 48 is penetratingly engaged with the guide rod 48 in a so-called loose state.

In other words, each of the material pressers 45 can be freely moved in and out of the hopper 26, and can be extracted upward from the hopper 26 as shown by the chain line in FIG. It can also be horizontally rotated around the support shaft 51 via the arm 52, so that the material M can be taken in and out of the hopper 26 without any trouble. As the holding arm 52 rotates the turntable 11,
It is also clear from the above explanation that it rotates smoothly. In addition, as long as the purpose described above can be achieved, the support shaft 51 can be maintained upright continuously and integrally with the mast 50, and the support shaft 51 can be held by screwing a short and small screw into the upper end thereof, or by screwing a nut into the support shaft 51. The arm 52 may be prevented from coming off upward. Alternatively, the needles 46 of the presser plate 47 may be integrally provided with a rough surface on the lower surface of the presser plate 47.

<Function> According to the above configuration, when the lump-like materials M are respectively introduced into the plurality of hoppers 26 and the turntable 11 and round blade 12 are rotated in the arrow directions A and B in FIG. When the material M falling from the hopper 26 under its own weight is caught by the thickness adjusting plate 30 from below, the turntable 1
1 is fed into the action area of the round blade 12, and is successively sliced by the cutting edge of the round blade 12, and the sliced pieces m after cutting are sent into the action area of the round blade 12. 37, without bending as shown in Figure 6.
It automatically and smoothly falls onto the conveyor 25, and is taken out of the machine casing F by the conveyor 25. As described above, the cutting thickness T of the slice piece m can be adjusted by raising and lowering the adjustment plate 30 using the adjustment operation handle 35.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, in the present invention, the material input hopper 26 is installed upright on the upper surface of the rotating turntable 11, and the thickness adjustment plate 30 is also installed directly below the table 11 so that it can be raised and lowered. By arranging the rotary round blade 12 to overlap the table 11 between the upper and lower sides of the table 11 and the adjusting plate 30, the lump-like material M falling from the hopper 26 under its own weight is removed from the adjusting plate. In a frozen meat slicer that cuts slices to a constant thickness T as the table 11 rotates while being received by the blade 30, in particular, the thickness adjusting plate 30 extends the edge portion corresponding to the cutting edge portion of the round blade 12. By the guide plate 37,
The round blade 12 is formed in such a manner that it overlaps with the lower flank face 39 by a certain band width W,
Because it is configured to automatically and smoothly guide the sliced piece m after being cut without bending,
The defects of the conventional technology mentioned at the beginning can be reliably solved, and the effect is that slice pieces m of excellent commercial value can always be obtained automatically, regardless of changes in the degree of freezing of the material M. be.
