Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention provides a weight-type product guiding and discharging device for a slicer to eliminate turbulence of the product when slicing a soft and relatively thin product such as smoked salmon. Regarding.

Conventional technology Conventionally, reciprocating vertical slicers have been used to slice ham, bread, etc. into thin pieces, but conventional vertical slicers have been used to cut soft and relatively thin products such as smoked salmon, which is relatively often imported. When sliced into thin slices, the corners of the cut pieces are at right angles, similar to when slicing ham or bread into rounds, so there was a problem in that it was not possible to create a sensual sense of breadth, and it also did not present an aesthetic appearance.

In order to solve this problem, a cook could simply slice each slice one by one, but this was not suitable for processing large quantities.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant has
We proposed the diagonal slicer shown in the figure. In FIG. 7, a pressing device 2 is mounted on a table 1, and a pressing arm 3 of this pressing device 2 is configured to slide on the table 1. Also table 1
A conveyor belt 4 is provided at the same height as the conveyor belt 4. A diagonal slicing head 5 is provided at the end of the table 1 near the conveyor belt 4, and a plurality of blades 6 are provided on the slicing head 5.

In the diagonal slicer configured in this way, when the product 7 placed on the table 1 is pressed by the pressing arm 3 of the pressing device 2, the product is sliced with a plurality of blades 6 while passing under the slicing head 5. Since the product 7 is sliced diagonally, it has the advantage of being able to have a sensuous spread and a beautiful appearance.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with this diagonal slicer, when slicing a solid that is soft and has an irregular cross-sectional shape, such as smoked salmon, the slicer passes through a plurality of blades 6 at the exit portion of the slicer. Kita product 7
The problem is that during slicing, the alignment of the sliced product 7 is disturbed and the thin belly part is rolled up, especially at the beginning of slicing, so that the sliced product 7 is not uniformly sliced and the quality of the sliced product 7 is lowered. It was hot.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plurality of objects that are located on the exit side of a slicer and move forward and backward in contact with the surface of the sliced product in the direction of movement of the sliced product. It is characterized by a weight-type product guiding and discharging device for the slicer, which comprises a series of weights arranged in a row, and a conveyor belt provided at the outlet side of the slicer, and vertical holes arranged horizontally at the outlet side of the slicer. a plurality of weights provided with , a weight shaft passed through the vertical hole,
a support arm that supports the weight shaft at one end and extends in the moving direction of the conveyor; and a crank arm that rotatably supports the other end of the support arm.
The present invention is characterized by a weight-type product guiding and discharging device for a slicer, which comprises a drive device connected via a coupling to a rotating shaft on which the crank arm is attached, and a swinging arm swingingly supporting an intermediate portion of the support arm.

According to the present invention, the weights arranged in a row on the exit side of the slicer are placed on the product being pushed out in accordance with the shape of the sliced product, and the conveyor is further moved by the operation of the support arm, swing arm and crank arm. The weight is placed over the sliced product on the belt in synchronization with the moving speed of the conveyor belt and follows the shape of the product (see Figure 6), and the weight is moved to check the sliced state of the sliced product. Reduce turbulence. In particular, the loose installation through the vertical holes drilled into the weights allows
It is now possible to fit the product into an irregular shape without requiring any troublesome adjustment means.

Further, a weight shaft 20 is fixed to the other ends of the support arms 16 and 17, and the weight shaft 20 is supported by passing through a vertical hole 21 formed in the horizontal direction of each of the plurality of weights 22. In addition, a shaft 23 is attached to the support arms 16 and 17 near the swing arms 18 and 19.
are fixed at both ends. On the other hand, one end of the same number of arms 24 is fixed to the weight 22, and the other end of each arm 24 is rotatably fitted into the shaft 23. This weight device is attached to a conveyor 25 provided at the outlet of the slicer, as shown in FIG. Although not shown, two gear mode motors for high speed and low speed, an electromagnetic clutch, a one-way clutch, and a limit switch are built into the drive unit 8, and the rotating shaft 9 rotates approximately half the time during one rotation. rotates so that the conveyor belt and the weight 22 move at the same speed, and the rotating shaft 9 rotates at high speed during the remaining half rotation to rapidly return the weight 22.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the schematic diagram of FIG. 5. In addition, here, the crank arm 14,
15, support arms 16 and 17, and swing arms 18 and 19 will be explained using one of the numbers. First, crank arm 1
4 is on the right side of the rotating shaft 11 and is horizontal, the supporting arm 16, the swinging arm 18, and the weight 22 are arranged as shown in FIG. 5a.
Assuming that the crank arm 14 is in the position shown in FIG. 5B, when the crank arm 14 rotates upward and reaches the position shown in FIG. As the weight 22 is lowered, the support arm 16 is pulled by the crank arm 14, so that the weight 22 moves to the left in the figure as indicated by arrow B. Further, as shown in FIG. 5c, when the crank arm 14 is directly above the rotating shaft 11, the weight 22
further moves in the direction of the swing arm 18 as shown by arrow B while maintaining substantially the same height due to the length ratio and rotation angle ratio of the crank arm 14 and the support arm 16. and,
As the crank arm 14 rotates as shown in FIG. 5d, the connection part of the crank arm 14 with the support arm 16 becomes lower, but the connection part of the swing arm 18 with the support arm 16 also gradually lowers. Therefore, the weight 22 maintains the height shown in the figure, and the support arm 16 is pulled by the crank arm 14 and moves to the left in the figure as indicated by arrow B. As shown in Figure 5e, the crank arm 14
When the weight becomes horizontal to the left of the rotation axis 11, the weight 2
2 stops moving in the direction of arrow B. Until this point, the connection between the crank arm 14 and the support arm 16 goes down, but the connection between the swing arm 18 and the support arm 16 does not go down much, so the weight Move upward as shown by arrow C. Crank arm 1 as shown in Fig. 5 f.
4 becomes below the horizontal, the weight 22 rises as shown by arrow C and moves to the right in the figure as shown by arrow D. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5g, when the crankshaft 14 comes directly below the rotating shaft 11,
The weight 22 moves to the right in the figure as indicated by arrow D. When the crankshaft 14 rotates to the right as shown in FIG. 5h, the weight 22 further moves to the right and moves downward as shown by arrow A, returning to FIG. 5a.

During this time, during the operations shown in FIGS. 5a to 5e, the rotating shaft 11 rotates so that the movement of the weight 22 in the direction of arrow B is approximately at the same speed as the conveyor belt, and as shown in FIGS.
During the operation, it rotates at high speed and performs a quick return of the weight.

As shown in FIG. 7, the moving weight 22 is placed on top of the sliced product 7 when the sliced product 7 is pushed onto the conveyor 25, and the weight 22 is placed on top of the sliced product 7, as shown in FIG. In other words, Fig. 5a
As shown in FIG. 5, when the weight 22 descends in the direction of arrow A, the sliced product 7 is held down, and the weight 22 moves as the sliced product 7 is moved by the conveyor 25 from FIG. 5a to FIG. 5e. Slice product 7 when weight 22 rises in figure d.
, and the sliced product 7 is transferred to the conveyor 2 as it is.
During the movement, the weight 22 returns to the direction of the slicing head 5 as shown by the arrow D from FIG. 5e to FIG. , it is possible to prevent the alignment of the sliced products 7 from being disturbed during slicing. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the plurality of weights 22 press down on the product 26, the vertical holes 21 are adjusted according to the change in the height of each part.
By creating a shift between the weight axis 22 and the weight axis 22, each part can be evenly pressed depending on the shape of the sliced product 26.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention is characterized in that a weight is placed in synchronization with the movement of the sliced product extruded from the slicing head to match the shape of the sliced product, and a support arm, a swinging arm The weight is moved in synchronization with the movement of the sliced product on the conveyor belt by the operation of the crank arm, and then it rapidly retreats and moves again while holding the product, which causes the tip of the sliced product to curl up. This has the advantage that it is possible to prevent the alignment of sliced products from becoming disordered during slicing.
