It is equipped with a round blade that rotates around a rotation axis, and a material feeder that is fixedly installed with its front end facing the surface of the face plate and the rotation locus of the round blade, and the material feeder is fixedly installed with its front end facing the surface of the face plate and the rotation locus of the round blade. This invention relates to a high-speed meat slicer that uses round blades to slice meat chunks fed out from the front end of a feeder.

This type of slicer forms a step between the disc-shaped surface and the cutting edge circle of the round blade by moving the face plate along the rotation axis parallel to the cutting edge circle of the round blade, and this step Therefore, the thickness of the sliced pieces is determined, and the thickness adjustment device attached to conventional high-speed meat slicers is attached to one end of a rotary arm that is attached in a T-shape to the front end of the rotating shaft, parallel to the rotating shaft. A female threaded portion and a slide guide hole with a smooth surface are provided in the slide guide hole, and the tip of a bolt for thickness adjustment screwed into this female threaded portion is rotatably connected to the back surface of the face plate, while a face plate support rod is freely inserted into the slide guide hole. The face plate was configured to be moved forward and backward by fitting it in and rotating the bolt. Therefore, while the slicer is operating, the thickness adjustment bolt attached to the rotary arm that rotates the face plate also rotates around the rotation axis, so the thickness of the sliced piece cut by the round blade is It was not possible to adjust the bolt while checking the thickness, and the adjustment operation was inconvenient only when the vehicle was stopped.

Therefore, the present invention provides a face plate having a disk-shaped surface orthogonal to the rotation axis and rotating on the machine base, and a rotary arm that is integrally extended from the rotation axis on the back side of the face plate, and a round blade that rotates around the rotation axis together with the face plate with a cutting edge protruding from the surface while rotating within a circular opening eccentrically provided in the face plate; So that the front end is located on the rotation trajectory of the round blade,

Driven by motor Ma via. Mb is a motor that drives the rotary shaft 3; 13 is a motor that faces the surface 5' of the face plate 5; the open front end 13' is positioned on the rotation locus of the round blade 9; A material supply rack is fixedly installed above, C is a material feeding conveyor installed inside the rack, and Mc is a motor for driving the conveyor.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably supported at the front and rear thereof and is supported by a cylindrical fixed bearing 14 fixed to the machine base F. As shown in FIG. A is a threaded portion provided on the outer periphery of the fixed bearing 14 parallel to the rotation axis 3, and 15 is a female screw fitted onto the fixed bearing 14 with a female threaded portion b on the inner circumferential surface that engages with the threaded portion a. A sleeve 16 is a rotary sleeve that advances and retreats along the axial direction together with the female threaded sleeve 15 while interposing a radial bearing 17 between it and the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 15 to isolate rotational transmission from each other, and 18 is a rotary sleeve. A pair of connecting portions are provided on one side of the face plate support rod 16, and each end of the face plate support rod 7 passes through the connecting portion 18, and the front and rear portions of the penetrating portion are fixed in a flange shape. 19 is female thread sleeve 1

A thickness adjusting device consisting of a pinion gear 19
When the female threaded sleeve 15 is rotated by the drive of the threaded portion b, the sleeve 15 advances and retreats along the threaded portion a;
At the same time, the rotating sleeve 16 and the face plate support rod 7 are moved back and forth, so that the face plate 5 is moved back and forth in parallel with the cutting edge 8' of the round blade 8 rotating at a fixed position.

In this slicer configured as described above, when the motors Ma, Mb, and Mc are driven, the face plate 5 rotates via the rotating shaft 3, the rotary arm 4, and the face plate support rod 7, and the round blade 8 rotates through the rotation of the rotary arm 4. As a result, it rotates around the rotation axis 3 together with the face plate 5 while rotating with its rotation center being eccentric. In addition, the material feeder 13 feeds out the meat lumps sandwiched between the material feed conveyors C from the front end 13', and adjusts the level difference formed between the surface 5' of the face plate 5 and the cutting edge 8' of the round blade 8. Thick slices can be obtained. During the above operation, the rotating sleeve 16 connected to the face plate support rod 7 at the connecting portion 18 continues to rotate integrally with the face plate 5, but the rotation is blocked by the radial bearing 17 and is not transmitted to the female threaded sleeve 15. Therefore, the internally threaded sleeve 15 can be rotated by operating the thickness adjusting device 19 during this operation. This rotation causes the female threaded sleeve 15 to advance and retreat along the threaded portion a on the outer periphery of the fixed bearing 14, and at the same time advances and retreats the rotating rotating sleeve 16, causing the coupling portion 18 and the face plate support rod 7 to advance and retreat. Therefore, the step between the surface 5' of the face plate 5 and the cutting edge circle of the round blade 8 is enlarged,
The thickness of the slices can be changed by shrinking.

In carrying out the present invention, the thickness adjusting device 19 that manually rotates the internally threaded sleeve 15 directly or indirectly may be used, and its specific configuration may be belt driven, chain driven, etc. in accordance with the gist of the present invention. Can be set arbitrarily.

As described above, the fixed bearing 14 is provided with a threaded portion a,
The female threaded portion b is screwed onto the threaded portion a, and the female threaded sleeve 15 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the female threaded sleeve 15.
According to the present invention, the face plate support rod 7 is fixed to the connecting portion 18 provided on the rotary sleeve 16, and a thickness adjusting device 19 for rotating the sleeve 15 in the forward and reverse directions is attached to the female threaded sleeve 15. For example, as mentioned above, the thickness of the sliced piece can be changed while the slicer is running, which makes adjustment easier and easier than with conventional products, where the thickness cannot be adjusted without stopping the slicer.
It has the advantage of being quick and minimizing material waste during changes.
