Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a meat slicer, and more particularly, to a slice thickness adjusting device for a meat slicer.

[Background of the idea]

Prior to explaining the present invention, the overall configuration of a conventionally commonly used meat slicer will be explained based on FIGS. 3 and 4, and the internal configuration of the slice thickness adjustment device will be explained in FIGS. 5 to 8. To explain based on this, FIG. 3 is a front view showing the overall configuration of a conventional meat slicer, FIG. 4 is a right side view of FIG. 3, FIG. The figure is a sectional view taken along the line D-D in Figure 5, and Figure 7 is A in Figure 3.
8 is a sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG. 4.

In Figures 3 and 4, 1 is a machine base, 2 is a round blade base that pivotally supports a round blade 3 for meat slicing, and the round blade base 2 is erected on one side of the machine base 1. ing. 4 is the rail 5 attached to the machine base 1
A meat box 6 that reciprocates in the direction of the round blade 3 using the
7 indicates a meat loaf stored in the meat box 4, and 7 indicates a gauge plate for adjusting slice thickness that is attached to the machine base 1 near the cutting edge of the round blade 3. Gauge plate 7
As will be described later, the machine is configured to adjust the slice interval between the gauge plate 7 and the round blade 3 by converting the rotational motion of the worm and worm wheel mounted on the machine base 1 into reciprocating motion. ing.
That is, in FIGS. 5 to 8, 8 is a worm shaft with a worm 9 attached to its tip and a form rotation knob 10 attached to its rear end, 11 is a sleeve into which the worm shaft 8 is fitted, and the sleeve 11 is It is detachably fixed to the machine base 1 via bolts 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a worm wheel that meshes with the worm 9. The worm wheel 13 is rotatably supported by a pin bolt 14 attached to the machine base 1.
An arm 15 that operates integrally with the wheel 13 is fixed to the wheel. 16 is a pin attached to the arm 15, and the pin 16 is attached to the gauge plate 7.
It is fitted into the long groove 17 of. Thus, the gauge plate 7 adjacent to the cutting edge of the round blade 3 is slidably fitted onto a slide shaft 18 attached to the machine base 1.

In the above configuration, before placing the meat loaf 6 on the meat box 4 and slicing it, in order to adjust the slice thickness of the meat loaf 6, turn the knob 10 attached to the rear end of the worm shaft 8. A worm 9 attached to the tip of the shaft 8, and a worm wheel 13 that meshes with the worm 9.
rotates. When the worm wheel 13 rotates, the arm 1 moves together with the wheel 13.
5 also pivots, and the pin 16 attached to the arm 15
moves within the long groove 17 of the gauge plate 7, the gauge plate 7 moves along the slide shaft 18.
Move linearly in the direction of arrow X using as a guide. That is, by converting the rotational motion of the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13 into a reciprocating motion of the gauge plate 7, the slice interval between the plate 7 and the round blade 3 is adjusted.

The overall structure of the meat slicer and the internal structure of the slice thickness adjusting device that have been commonly used in the past are as described above. , the gauge plate 7 wobbles in the direction of the arrow X, causing fluctuations in the slice interval between the round blade 3 and the gauge plate 7.

In order to prevent this, conventionally, the pin bolt 14 that pivotally supports the worm wheel 13 has been devised, and the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13 have been
This is to eliminate the breakage at the meshing part. That is, the shaft of the pin bolt 14 is divided into the large diameter shaft portion 14a and the small diameter shaft portion 14.
The center axis of the large-diameter shift portion 14a that pivotally supports the worm wheel 13 and the center axis of the small-diameter shaft portion 14b that attaches the worm wheel 13 to the machine base 1 are made eccentric, and the worm 9 and the worm If there is a breakage in the meshing part between the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13, turn the pin bolt 14 to bias the worm wheel 13 toward the worm 9 to eliminate the breakage in the meshing part between the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13. There is.

However, in this type of food processing machine, the pin bolt 14 that pivotally supports the worm wheel 13 is located inside the machine base 1, and furthermore, this pin bolt 14 is located below the slide shaft 18 that guides the gauge plate 7. Therefore, there was a problem in that the operation was troublesome when adjusting the backlash at the meshing portion between the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to convert the rotational motion of the worm and the worm wheel into the reciprocating motion of the gauge plate, and to connect the plate and the meat slicing round. To provide an improved slice thickness adjustment device that can adjust the thickness at the meshing part between the worm and the worm wheel much more easily than before in the structure of a meat slicer that adjusts the slice interval between the worm and the worm wheel. This is what we do.

[Summary of the idea]

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention includes a machine base,
A round blade base that supports a round blade for meat slicing and stands upright on the machine base, a meat box that moves back and forth in the direction of the round blade using a rail attached to the machine base as a guide, and a meat box that is close to the cutting edge of the round blade. and a gauge plate for adjusting the slice thickness attached to the machine base, and the gauge plate converts the rotational motion between the worm and the worm wheel attached to the machine base into reciprocating motion, and connects the plate and the round blade. In the structure of a meat slicer that adjusts the slice interval between the worm and the worm, the worm is located in a sleeve whose outer diameter center axis and inner diameter center axis are eccentric, and has a worm at the tip and a worm rotation knob at the rear end. The shaft is fitted into the sleeve, and the sleeve is detachably fixed to the machine base.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the A-A line of the conventional food slicer shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. 1, and the same reference numerals indicate the same parts as in the conventional meat slicer shown in FIGS. 3 to 8. In the present invention, the worm shaft 8 is fitted. sleeve 1
The outer diameter center axis and the inner diameter center axis of 1 are eccentric, and a worm 9 is located inside this sleeve 11 and has a worm 9 at its tip.
The gist is that a worm shaft 8 having a worm rotation knob 10 attached to the rear end is fitted therein.

Therefore, in the present invention having the above configuration, if there is a breakage in the meshing portion between the worm 9 and the worm wheel 13, the sleeve 11
When the bolts 12 fixing the to the machine base 1 are loosened and the sleeve 11 is turned to position the thin part of the sleeve 11 on the worm wheel 13 side, the worm 9 is biased toward the worm wheel 13 side, so that the worm 9 and It is possible to eliminate the buckle at the meshing part with the worm wheel 13, and since the above operation is performed from outside the machine base 1, the operation is similar to the conventional buckle adjustment, i.e., from the outside of the machine base 1. This is much easier than operating the pin bolt 14.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention is as described above, and as is clear from the explanation of the illustrated embodiment, according to the present invention, the rotational motion of the worm and the worm wheel is converted into the reciprocating motion of the gauge plate, and the plate and the meat slice In the structure of a meat slicer that adjusts the slice interval between the worm and the worm wheel, an improved slice thickness adjustment device is provided that allows the thickness adjustment at the meshing part between the worm and the worm wheel to be performed much more easily than before. can be obtained.
