Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a vegetable cutting machine that feeds vegetables with soft and long leaf heads to a cutter using a feed conveyor.

(Prior art) Conventionally, an inlet to the rotary disk was opened in a cutting case which pivotally supported a rotary disk with a cutter attached inside and a discharge port provided at the bottom. A vegetable cutting machine was developed in the 1970s, in which a feed mechanism frame is connected and a feed mechanism frame is installed, and a feed conveyor and a presser member that can freely move up and down above the conveyor are installed on the feed mechanism frame. −
It is publicly known as described in JP 19662 and the like.

However, with this known structure, the length of the feed conveyor cannot be made very long, so when vegetables with soft and long leaf heads, such as green onions, are fed onto the feed conveyor, the leaf heads may bend toward the rear of the conveyor. It bends and hangs down, making feeding unsmooth. For this reason, it has drawbacks such as making the slices of green onion seasonings uneven.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above, the present invention, even for vegetables with soft and long leaf heads, allows the soft parts such as the leaf heads to be transferred to the conveyor without extending the length of the feeding conveyor. To develop a vegetable cutting machine which can prevent sagging as much as possible until it is cut and can cut vegetables without soft leaf heads etc. as before.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned in the previous section. The ends of the legs of the auxiliary feeding member with a net stretched between the legs are pivotally supported on the feeding mechanism frame so as to be able to rise and fall freely, so that when it is folded down, it is approximately at the same level as the feeding conveyor, This is a further extension of the feeding mechanism frame.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described.

(Example) Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway side view of a vegetable cutting machine 1, in which a main body 3 having a built-in motor for cutting and feeding mechanisms is provided on a base 2, and the upper part of the main body 3 is is equipped with a cutting case 4 on the front side (right side in Figure 1). The cutting case 4 consists of a case body 5 and an opening/closing door 6 that closes the front opening of the case body 5 with a locking device 7. Inside the frame body 5, a rotary disk 9 equipped with a cutting cutter is inserted into the body 3. The opening/closing door 6 is fixed to a drive shaft 8 connected to a motor, and the opening/closing door 6 is provided with an inlet 10 through which cut vegetables are cut by the cutter in contact with the rotary disk 9, and the opening/closing door 6 A discharge port 11 is provided on the lower side of the cutting case 6 and the cutting case 4, and a pair of left and right feed mechanism frames 12 are attached by connecting to the feed port 10 of the opening/closing door 6.

The feeding mechanism frame 12 is shaped like a wall plate, and has a feeding conveyor 13 and a vertical elongated hole 14 at the bottom thereof.
It is held between a presser member 15 which can freely move up and down. The present invention includes a stopper 16 at the bottom of each of the guides 17, which are expanded outward, to receive the vegetables when the auxiliary feeding member 18 (to be described later) is folded down, in order to make it easier to receive vegetables at the tip entrance of the feeding mechanism frame 12. It is formed at approximately the same level as the upper surface of the feed conveyor 13, protruding outward from both sides as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 18 denotes an auxiliary feeding member made of stainless steel, which is a round bar bent into a U-shape, and is made up of a support rod 22 and legs 19, 19 at right angles. It is made a little larger than the space between the frames 12 (Fig. 2), and the ends of both legs 19, 19 are provided with shaft support protrusions 20, 20 bent inward at right angles, and elasticity is imparted to the approximately intermediate portion thereof. The locking portions 21, 21 for locking are bent and protruded inward. The feeding member 18 is fitted with protrusions 20 and 2 in a hole bored near the tip of the feeding mechanism frame 12.
0 from the outside and is pivotally supported on the frame 12 so that it can move up and down freely.

The auxiliary feeding member 18 is moved downward as shown in FIGS.
is held at approximately the same level as the feed conveyor 13. When the auxiliary feeding member 18 is not used, it is rotated upward by 90 degrees or more as shown by the chain line in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the locking portion 21 is locked and stabilized by the upper edge of the feeding mechanism frame 12. .

A net 23 is stretched between the legs 19 of the auxiliary feeding member 18, extending from the support rod 22 to at least the locking portion 21, as shown in FIG.

The guide 17 formed above the stopper 16 is not necessarily required.

(Function) When cutting vegetables a, such as green onions, which have leaf heads b that are longer and softer than the feeding conveyor 13, the auxiliary feeding member 18 is folded down as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is fitted and supported at approximately the same level as the feed conveyor 13. As a result, the feeding portion of the feeding mechanism frame 12 of the vegetable cutting machine is extended by more than twice.

Then, feed the stem of vegetable a into the mechanism frame 12.
The soft leaf head b is inserted between the feeding conveyor 13 and the holding member from this side, and placed on the conveyor 13, and passed over the support rod 22, and as the feeding progresses, it slides on the support rod 22 and the net 23. to ensure smooth supply.

If the auxiliary feeding member 18 is not needed and would be a hindrance, it should be erected at an angle of 90 degrees or more as shown in Fig. 1 so that it does not interfere with the feeding of vegetables at all.

(Effects) The present invention is based on the feeding mechanism frame 12 of a conventionally used vegetable cutting machine, and the frame 12 made of a stainless steel rod bent into a U-shape as described above.
The ends of both legs 19 of the auxiliary feeding member 18 with a tension of They are at approximately the same level, and a feeding part is formed at the tip of the feeding mechanism frame 12, so that even long and soft leaves like green onions can be supported by the support rods 22 and nets 23 of the feeding member 18. The material moves onto the feeding conveyor 13 without bending or sagging, and is smoothly fed and cut, so that it is cut to a uniform thickness. Auxiliary feeding member 1
When the member 8 is not in use, it can be moved by rotating upward by 90 degrees or more, and the vegetable cutter can be used in a state where the member 18 is not present at all.
