DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a folding apparatus for a slice meat, and more particularly, to folding a slice meat cut out of a slicer into two and placing the slice meat on a meat delivery apparatus.

[0002]

A technique for replacing a slice meat cut out of a slicer with another pedestal while folding the slice meat in two with a meat supporting finger is known, for example, from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-315340. However, since the slicer only cuts the block thinly, the meat support finger is to replace each sliced meat on two separate cradles while folding it, so the folding of the sliced meat by the meat support finger The processing speed of the tatami stacking operation is slower than the slice processing speed of the slicer, and it is difficult to increase the efficiency. Moreover, when the processing speed of the meat supporting finger is to be increased, the folding / replacement operation is likely to be disturbed.

[0003]

According to the present invention, the slice meat A conveyed by the supply conveyor 2 is scooped up along the supply conveyor 2 which receives and conveys the slice meat A cut out by the slicer 1, and the side portion is provided. A plurality of meat folding devices 5 and 6 that are alternately folded and placed on the meat sending devices 3 and 4 are arranged in a slice meat processing device.

[0004]

When the sliced meat A sliced out by the slicer 1 is received on the supply conveyor 2,
A plurality of meat folding devices 5 and 6 arranged along the supply conveyor 2 alternately scoop up the sliced meat A on the supply conveyor 2 and fold the meat in a two-fold manner. , 4 for processing.

[0005] For this reason, a plurality of meat folding devices 5 and 6 can be arranged so that the folding processing efficiency of the sliced meat A can be matched with the cutout processing efficiency of the sliced meat A of the slicer 1, and the meat folding can be performed. The meat folding process of the devices 5 and 6 can be accurately maintained, and efficient work can be performed as a whole.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the narrow belt 7 of the supply conveyor 1 is arranged at a predetermined interval 8, and the meat folding devices 5 and 6 are moved up and down the interval 8 to transfer the sliced meat A to the belt. Since the meat folding devices 5 and 6 are moved up and down to the interval 8 of the belt 7 by having a configuration of having the scooping rod 9 which scoops up from 7 and folds it in two, the feeding conveyor 2 slices The scooping action of the meat A is smoothly and accurately performed by using the supply and transfer force of the sliced meat A, and the compact configuration can be achieved. The folding operation is easily performed by hanging the scooping rod 9 on both the left and right sides, and the configuration can be simplified.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A slicer 1 swings a meat holder 10 for accommodating block meat B back and forth around a rotation axis 11, and hooks the lower end of the meat holder 10 between gears 15 at a fixed position. The sliced meat A is cut out at the lower side by being sliced by the band blade 12 which is passed and rotated.

The feed conveyor 2 receives the sliced meat A cut by the slicer 1 and transports the sliced meat A to the front. It is extended and driven, and is configured to be wider than the width of the slice meat A.

The meat feeding devices 3 and 4 are formed of flat belts, are arranged on the left and right sides on the lower side of the supply conveyor 2, and serve for the slice meat A to be reloaded from the supply conveyor 2 by the meat folding devices 5 and 6. It receives and transports.

Each of the meat folding devices 5 and 6 comprises a scooping rod 9 and a folding tool 19 disposed between the supply conveyor 2 and the meat sending devices 3 and 4, and a space between the belts 7. Part 8
The scooping rod 9 which moves up and down is rotated about a reversing shaft 18 in the front-rear direction by a bell crank 17 which is rotated by a cylinder 16 which expands and contracts, so that the slice meat A transferred to the upper surface of the belt 7 is moved. Is supported by the lifting of the scooping rod 9 and is replaced on the side meat feeding devices 3 and 4. Near the upper surfaces of the meat feeding devices 3 and 4, there is provided a folding tool 19 which receives the slice meat A which is placed upside down by the scooping rod 9 and folds it in half while reciprocating about half a turn. . The folding tool 19 is composed of comb-shaped folding fingers 21 that rotate integrally with a shaft 20 in a direction crossing the upper surfaces of the belts of the meat feeding devices 3 and 4, and the slice meat A is driven by a motor M.
It reciprocates once each time it is received.

The pair of left and right meat folding devices 5 and 6 are arranged at the same phase position in the transport direction of the supply conveyor 2 and alternately move up and down to replace the slice meat A on the supply conveyor 2. , One side meat folding device 5
While the scooping rod 9 of the other side moves up and down the interval portion 8, the scooping rod 9 of the other side of the meat folding device 6 is on the side of the meat feeding device 4 and the folding action by the folding finger 21 is performed. It is in.

The meat sending devices 3 and 4 are intermittently moved each time each sliced meat A is folded, so that an appropriate number of the folded sliced meats A are cascaded. Polymerize into a shape. Each time the processing of an appropriate number of cascading slices of meat A is completed, the meat sending devices 3 and 4 are constantly rotated,
It is transported.

The slice meat A cut out at regular intervals by the swing of the meat holder 10 is supplied to the supply conveyor 2.
It is placed on the upper surface and transported continuously. One side scooping rod 9
Is located between the interval portions 8 of the belt 7, and when the sliced meat A is supplied to the upper surface, the sliced meat A is lifted by the lift of the scooping rod 9, and is moved to the side of the meat feeding device 3 by inversion. , On the folding tool 19. When the folding tool 19 that has received the slice meat A reciprocates once, the two-fold folding of the slice meat A is performed. The sliced meat A that has undergone such a folding action is superimposed in a cascade on the upper surface of the same meat feeding device 3.
Each time the two-fold sliced meat A is overlapped, the meat delivery device 3 or 4 is moved by one pitch.

While the picking-up rod 9 of the above-mentioned meat folding apparatus 5 transfers the sliced meat A from the upper surface of the supply conveyor 2 to the meat feeding apparatus 3 side, the meat folding apparatus 6 on the other side is changed.
The scooping rod 9 is in a standby state in a state where the operation is stopped, and when the replacement is completed, the reloading by the scooping rod 9 of the meat folding device 6 is performed.

The folding tool 19 receives a part of the sliced meat A inverted by the scooping rod 9 and places the sliced meat A on the upper surface of the sliced meat A which is placed on the belt surfaces of the lower meat feeding devices 3 and 4. It is folded in two folds. The folded slice meat A is superimposed on the upper side of the already placed slice meat A on the rear side by the rotation of the folding tool 19, and is arranged in a scale.

The meat folding devices 5 and 6 and the meat sending devices 3 and 4 are provided with respect to the supply conveyor 2.
In the example shown in the figure, two positions are provided, but three or more positions may be provided. Further, it may be arranged on the same side with respect to the supply conveyor 2, or may be arranged at a position shifted forward and backward.

In FIG. 4, the difference from the above example is that in the meat folding devices 5 and 6, the scooping rod 9 is interposed in any one of the gaps 8 at the center of the supply conveyor 2 and moves up and down. The arm 2 is driven by the motor M to form a single rod.
The rotation of 2 causes the gap 8 and the meat sending devices 3 and 4 to rotate.
Is reciprocated while moving up and down, and intervenes in the gap 8 by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 16 from the end of the supply conveyor 2, and after the transfer to the meat delivery devices 3 and 4, these It is a configuration that can retreat to the rear side. Further, the scooping rod 9 is formed in a crank shape, and is configured to easily intervene in the interval portion 8 when rotated to the supply conveyor 2 side.

Each scooping rod 9 is connected so that its base is extended and contracted by a cylinder 16 attached to the arm 22, and a bifurcated guide rod 23 is slidably supported by the tip of the arm 22. . Due to the rotation of the arm 22 and the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 16, each of the scooping rods 9 alternately intervenes in the interval 8 of the supply conveyor 2 from both the left and right sides, and waits for the supply of the slice meat A from the slicer 1. When the slice meat A is lifted by raising the scooping rod 9 on one side, the left and right slice meat A portions hang down about the support portion of the scooping rod 9 and are folded in two, and the arms 22 are folded.
With the rotation of, the scooping rod 9 is replaced on the side of the meat feeding device 3. After the slice meat A is replaced on the side of the meat sending device 3, the scooping rod 9 is pulled out by the cylinder 16.

In the supply conveyor 2, when the slice meat A is replaced by the meat folding device 5 as described above, the slice meat A is subsequently sent to the meat sending device 4 by the meat folding device 6 on the other side. Is performed.
Each of the meat folding devices 5 and 6 mainly uses a single scooping rod 9 and scoops up the sliced meat A through the space 9 between the belts 7. Therefore, the sliced meat A is folded into the two-folded state. And the configuration can be simplified. Although the scooping rod 9 is in the form of a single rod, it may have a configuration of two or three.
It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a holding rod for holding is provided.
