Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a food slicer that cuts soft food such as raw meat chunks into sections of a predetermined thickness.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a food slicer can advance soft foods such as raw meat chunks by a predetermined thickness while being sandwiched between upper and lower supply conveyors, and can be cut into pieces with a knife provided at the front end of the supply conveyor.
[0003]
Of the upper and lower supply conveyors of the food slicer, the lower conveyor has a rotating shaft fixed to the base, whereas the upper conveyor has a base end that is erected on the base. It is pivotally supported by the arm member that has passed through both sides of the head, and the tip is provided to be rotatable in the vertical direction. And in order to adjust the front-end | tip of an upper conveyor up and down, it has moved to the up-down direction with the grip part protrudingly provided by the front-end | tip. Thereby, it was made to follow up and down of the upper surface which is not the fixed height of foodstuffs, such as the raw meat board placed in the lower conveyor.
In addition, a gap is provided between one side of the lower conveyor and the arm member, and the belt of the lower conveyor can be removed from the conveyor body while passing through the gap while maintaining the endless belt during the cleaning operation.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the adjustment of the vertical position of the upper conveyor is performed by a grip portion protruding from the tip of the rotating upper conveyor, a biasing member that applies a downward load may be used to firmly hold the meat log, The operation of moving the upper conveyor in the upward direction against the biasing force may be a heavy work. In addition, it is difficult to perform a cleaning operation to attach a member that releases a downward load only when the vertical position is adjusted, and the increase in the number of members may increase the price of the entire food slicer.
Also, among the arm members that support the base end of the upper conveyor, the arm member located on the side where the worker stands is standing on the worker side of the lower conveyor. The arm member was in the way when it was placed on the conveyor or when the belts of the upper and lower conveyors were cleaned or removed for replacement.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the invention according to claim 1
A lower conveyor that supplies food by the cutting thickness, an upper conveyor that presses food from above near the front end of the lower conveyor, and food that is sandwiched between the upper and lower supply conveyors and protrudes from the front end of the conveyor is cut. In a food slicer with a knife,
A guide rod that slides on a guide tube is attached in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance surface of the lower conveyor, the upper conveyor is attached to the guide rod, and the upper conveyor is parallel to the conveyance surface of the lower conveyor. A drive transmission member for driving the endless belt of the upper conveyor is disposed between the side plate for fixing the lower conveyor and the cutter frame to which the cutter is attached,
The upper conveyor is attached to the base frame provided at the lower end of the guide rod by a pair of front and rear rotating shafts, and the guide hole that supports the rear rotating shaft in the base frame is parallel to the conveying direction of the lower conveyor. and long holes, a guide hole for supporting the rotation shaft of the front side, as a long hole which is inclined forwardly downward from the same horizontal height as the rear side of the guide hole, the guide of the respective rotary shafts by respective guide holes, the upper It is a food slicer characterized in that the mounting angle of the conveyor can be changed to a forward downward inclination.
As a result, it is not necessary to provide a holding member or a driving member for the upper conveyor as in the prior art on the worker side, and it is not an obstacle when placing food on the lower conveyor or cleaning, and the upper side moved. The trajectory of the conveyor tip is not a circular arc as in the prior art, but has a constant width without contacting the rotating blade, and the food can be pressed until just before the cutting position regardless of the height of the food.
[0006]
In particular, when the mounting bracket standing on the machine base is positioned on the blade mounting side with respect to the lower conveyor as the mounting position of the guide cylinder for sliding the guide rod, on the worker side which is the opposite position, A working space without a supporting member for supporting the upper conveyor as in the prior art is formed. In addition, a cutter frame to which a cutter is attached is suitable as another attachment location. Since the cutter frame is attached in a direction orthogonal to the conveying surface of the lower conveyor, adjustment work is easy if the guide rod is attached so as to slide parallel to the cutter frame. Note that the cutter frame itself may be attached to the machine base while being inclined forward or vertically.
Further, the side plate to which the lower conveyor is attached does not need to be extended to the vicinity of the cutter frame for the upper conveyor, and only needs to be formed to extend only the driven drum support member of the upper conveyor. A drive transmission member to the upper conveyor can be disposed in the space. This eliminates the need to dispose the drive transmission member and the support member of the upper conveyor on the worker side of the lower conveyor, and simplifies the input work of meat logs and the like. Further, since the upper and lower supply conveyors are supported on the side plate side and the worker side is opened, the endless belt can be easily attached and detached for cleaning.
Further, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod is not limited to a cylinder, and if it is polygonal, it does not rotate around the guide rod, so a single guide rod can be used. In addition, the row direction in which at least two guide rods are arranged is not only orthogonal to the conveying direction of the lower conveyor, but in the case of an upper conveyor that is long in the conveying direction, it can be arranged in parallel with the conveying direction so that it can be supported evenly. Can be.
[0007]
Here, the drive transmission member for driving the endless belt of the upper conveyor uses a common servo motor to synchronize with the lower conveyor, or uses two servo motors, for example, the servo motor is also applied to the upper conveyor. It can be used by adding a tuning mechanism between the attached motors. In particular, when a common drive motor is used, the timing belt that connects the drive transmission member of the upper conveyor to the servo motor is provided on the opposite side of the one side of the side plate to which the lower conveyor is attached. It is desirable not to place extra members on the staff side.
Therefore, the invention according to claim 2
The drive transmission member according to claim 1 has first and second drive transmission mechanisms in which an endless belt or a chain is bridged between shafts supported at both ends of the frame, and one shaft of the first drive transmission mechanism is provided. One shaft of the second drive transmission mechanism is connected to the rotation shaft of the lower conveyor to the drive shaft of the upper conveyor, while the other shafts of the first drive transmission mechanism and the second drive transmission mechanism are connected to the same intermediate shaft. Each of them is connected to transmit the driving force of the lower conveyor from the second drive transmission mechanism through the intermediate shaft to the upper conveyor from the first drive transmission mechanism without fixing the intermediate shaft. Furthermore, the food slicer is characterized in that the first drive transmission mechanism and the second drive transmission mechanism via the intermediate shaft are suspended and supported .
As a result, the weight of the member suspended on the upper conveyor is applied as a load to the meat log, and a load sufficient to hold the meat log can be obtained without the need for a biasing member or the like for pressing as in the prior art. At the same time, since the intermediate shaft is not fixed, the drive transmission member can transmit the driving force following the vertical movement of the upper conveyor. Here, the drive transmission member includes the first drive transmission mechanism and the second drive transmission mechanism, but may be configured by three or more drive transmission mechanisms. In addition, the first drive transmission mechanism and the second drive transmission mechanism are not limited to the timing belt transmission mechanism, but use a known member such as a chain member in terms of silence, durability, safety, weight, and the like. it can.
In addition, in the arrangement seen from the side, the rotation shaft connected to the upper conveyor is attached to the side plate which is located at the lower position rather than the upper conveyor, so that the upper conveyor is lowered by the guide rod and the drive transmission member It is possible to secure a space for the displacement or expansion / contraction. Moreover, in the arrangement seen from the plane, the rotation shaft is connected to the side plate so as to be rotatable, and a timing belt is connected to one end and a timing belt transmission mechanism is connected to the other end, so that not only the space on the worker side. The lower space of the lower conveyor can be used efficiently without interfering with the space where the lower conveyor and the knife motor are arranged.
[0008]
Furthermore, the invention according to claim 3
The suspended drive transmission member according to claim 2 is provided with a load adjustment member extending on one shaft of the second drive transmission mechanism so as to face the second drive transmission mechanism, and the load of the load adjustment member is The food slicer is characterized in that the load applied to the food from the upper conveyor can be adjusted by adjusting.
Thereby, the load weight applied to the food from the upper conveyor can be adjusted in accordance with the type of food and the degree of processing. Further, the load adjusting member is disposed in the lower space which is largely generated behind the lower conveyor which has been lowered forward, and can swing, so that the space inside the apparatus can be used effectively.
In addition, as a load adjustment member, a shaft bar is extended so that it may oppose a 2nd drive transmission mechanism centering on a side-plate rotation axis | shaft, and a weight part is provided in the shaft bar so that a movement is possible, and the position of a weight part It is preferable that the load is adjusted by moving the side plate with respect to the side plate rotation shaft . It is also possible to prepare a plurality of weight parts and various weights so that they can be removed.
[0009]
Further, the drive member that slides the guide rod along the guide tube can use a fluid actuator, and is preferably a lever member because of its simplicity of structure and ease of cleaning.
Therefore, the invention according to claim 4
An L-shaped lever member is rotatably attached in the vicinity of the guide cylinder for sliding the guide rod according to claim 1, and the guide rod and the action portion of the lever member can be rotated by both ends of the connecting member. The food slicer is characterized in that the guide member is slid by moving the operation part of the lever member up and down by being connected to.
Thereby, since an upper conveyor can be moved up and down with a small operation force, an operator's burden can be eased. Here, the vicinity of the guide tube may be the guide tube itself or a bracket to which the guide tube is attached.
[0010]
Furthermore, the invention according to claim 5
The operation portion of the L-shaped lever member according to claim 4 is rotated so as to be directed to the side of the lower conveyor when the upper conveyor is raised and to be directed to the upper side of the lower conveyor when the upper conveyor is lowered. It is a food slicer characterized by being made .
As a result, since the operator can move the operation unit up and down while applying weight, the operation unit is not moved up and down only by arm force in an unreasonable posture as before, and the operation environment of the worker can be improved.
[0011]
Moreover, in the invention which concerns on Claim 1 , while the attachment angle with respect to the attached guide rod can be set freely, the clearance gap between a front-end | tip part and a cutter is constant .
As a result, the food to be cut can be freely set according to the product type and processing level, and since the gap between the tip and the blade is constant, it can be reliably pressed down to the end of the raw meat tree. Can be processed without variations in the product thickness of the cut pieces, which were likely to occur due to the difference in the degree of bending.
In addition, the downward angle of the long hole inclined downward is appropriately adjusted depending on the position of the long hole formed on the guide rod side.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Here, FIG. 1 is explanatory drawing which shows the outline | summary of the food slicer based on this invention. The solid line in (a) shows a state where the meat can be cleaned without pressing down the raw log, the two-dot chain line shows the state in which the upper conveyor is lowered, and (b) shows the upper and lower supply conveyors and the driving member in a plane direction from the plane. The frame and the like are omitted.
The food slicer is provided with a ball-shaped blade 11 that is cut to a predetermined width from the end portion of the raw meat wood while rotating, and a lower conveyor that is placed beside the blade 11 and on which the raw meat wood is placed and moved forward. 20, an upper conveyor 30 provided on the front end side of the lower conveyor 20 or on the side of the slanted blade-like cutter, holding the raw wood of the lower conveyor 20, and a belt conveyor that collects and sends out the meat pieces cut by the cutter 11 12.
The lower conveyor 20 is attached to a side plate 13 that is vertically attached to the machine base 10 with a forward and downward inclination on the front end side or the slanted blade-like cutter side. A cutter frame 14 is attached to the machine base 10 via a fixed auxiliary member 14a on the front end side of the lower conveyor 20 or the slanted blade side so as to be orthogonal to the conveying direction. The blade frame 14 is provided with a take-out port 14b from which the ends of the upper and lower supply conveyors 20 and 30 protrude, and the slanted blade-like tool 11 is rotatably attached to the side of the take-out port 14a. And the motor 11b connected with the timing belt 11a from the blade 11 is attached.
The upper conveyor 30 is attached to the lower end of the guide rod 41, and the guide cylinder 42 inserted through the guide rod 41 is fixed to the blade frame 14 via a bracket 42a. As a result, the guide rod 41 slides in the vertical direction in parallel with the rotation surface of the blade 11 rotating in parallel with the blade frame 14. And even if the front-end | tip of the upper conveyor 30 attached there moves up and down vertically, it moves perpendicularly | vertically with respect to the lower conveyor 20, and does not interfere with the blade 11, It matches with the height of the meat log which moves up and down. Thus, the weight of the upper conveyor 30 can be held down.
The upper and lower supply conveyors 20 and 30 are cut from the end of the conveyor by the amount of the cut thickness while the ball-shaped blade 11 rotates to the cutting position, cuts a piece of meat having a desired thickness, returns to the supply position, and returns to the cutting position again. The meat log placed on the conveyor is moved forward so that the front end of the stick protrudes.
[0013]
Next, driving force transmission means to the upper and lower supply belts 20 and 30 will be described.
The drive drum 21 of the lower conveyor 20 is fixed to the drive shaft of the servo motor M. The drive shaft passes through the side plate 13, and the main body of the servo motor M is attached to the back surface of the side plate 13 via the attachment member 13a. Yes. Each guide roller 22 is attached to the side plate 13, and the driven drum 23 projects from the tip of an extending member 13 b that extends from the side plate 13. In this way, the driving drum 21, the guide rollers 22 and the driven drum 23 of the lower conveyor 20 are provided so as to project on the worker side, which is the front side of the side plate 13. Since both ends are not pivotally supported, the spanned endless belt 24 can be easily removed from the worker side on the opposite side of the side plate 13.
The drive drum 31, the guide roller 32, and the driven drum 33 of the upper conveyor 30 are rotatably attached between the base frames 34 on both sides attached to the lower end of the guide rod 31. A first timing belt transmission mechanism 35 is connected to the intermediate shaft 36 on the side plate 13 side of the drive drum 31. The intermediate shaft 36 is not attached to the machine base 10 or the side plate 13 and is concentrically connected by the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38. The other end of the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 is connected to a side plate rotation shaft 37 that is rotatably attached to the side plate 13. The side plate rotation shaft 37 has an axial center extending on the back surface of the side plate 13 and is connected to the servo motor M by a timing belt 37a. As a result, the driving force of the servo motor M is transmitted to the side plate rotation shaft 37 via the timing belt 37a, and the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 concentric with the side plate rotation shaft 37 includes the intermediate shaft 36 and the first shaft. Since the driving force is transmitted to the driving drum 31 of the upper conveyor 30 via the timing belt transmission mechanism 35, the upper and lower supply conveyors 20 and 30 can supply meat logs in synchronization.
Here, each transmission mechanism pivotally supports shafts at both ends of the frame, and spans an endless belt or a chain between the shafts. Further, the transmission mechanisms can be connected so that the shafts of the connecting portions are concentric and transmit the driving force.
[0014]
The drive transmission member has one end connected to the upper conveyor 30 and the other end connected to the intermediate shaft 36, the first timing belt transmission mechanism 35, one end connected to the intermediate shaft 36, and the other end connected to the lower conveyor 20, respectively. A second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 connected thereto, and the driving force of the lower conveyor 20 is transmitted from the first timing belt transmission mechanism 35 to the upper conveyor 30 via the intermediate shaft 36 from the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38. As another configuration, the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 may be configured by two members, the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 and the timing belt 37a. This is because the weight increases as the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 becomes longer, so that the burden on the upper conveyor 30 tends to increase, and the adjustment of the tension of the endless belt tends to be difficult.
Further, the upper conveyor 30 that slides up and down by the guide cylinder 42 suspends the first imming belt transmission mechanism 35, the intermediate shaft 36, and the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38, so that the weight of the upper conveyor 30 is increased. A load sufficient to hold the meat log can be obtained without applying an urging member or the like as a load from 30 to the meat log.
Further, a load adjusting member 39 fixed to the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 and facing the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38 is provided on the side plate rotation shaft 37 together with the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38. It is pivotally supported so that it can rotate. The load adjusting member 39 is attached to a shaft bar 39a so that the weight part 39b can move. The shaft bar 39a extends around the side plate rotation shaft 37 so as to face the second timing belt transmission mechanism 38. . Then, by adjusting the position of the weight portion 39b with respect to the side plate rotation shaft 37, the load weight applied to the food from the upper conveyor 30 can be adjusted. In addition, the weight part 39b can prepare for many pieces and various weights, and can also be made removable.
[0015]
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view (a) showing the upper conveyor 30 from the left side of FIG. 1 and including a partial enlargement, and a cross-sectional view (b) taken along line AA in FIG.
The guide rod 41 of the upper conveyor 30 is formed in a U-shape with the opening connected downward, and is fixed to the base frame 34 of the upper conveyor 30 at the lower end. The guide cylinders 42 and 42 through which the two guide rods 41 and 41 are inserted are fixed to the blade frame 14 via a bracket 42a. Thereby, the guide rod 41 moves the upper conveyor 30 up and down in parallel with the conveyance surface of the lower conveyor, and secures an installation place for an L-shaped lever member to be described later.
Between the guide cylinders 42, 42, an L-shaped lever member 43 is pivotally supported by a bracket 42a so as to be rotatable at a bent portion. And in the state which does not hold down the meat log, one end 43b of the L-shaped lever member 43 is pivotally supported by both ends of the guide rod 41 and the connecting member 44 where the upper conveyor 30 is at the uppermost position. Further, a grip portion 43a is formed at the other end of the L-shaped lever member 43, and is positioned in the direction toward the worker side. In addition, although the grip part 43a is formed in the T shape orthogonal to the rotation direction of the L-shaped lever member 43 and is easy to grip, illustration is abbreviate | omitted in (b).
[0016]
Next, a process until the operation of the L-shaped lever member 43 and the upper conveyor 30 is shifted from the open state to the state of pressing the meat log will be described.
The grip portion 43a on the operator side has worker, Lifting the grip portion 43a of the L-shaped lever member 43 upward, rotating in the direction of arrow A about the rotational axis of the L-shaped lever member 43 . Thereby, the L-shaped lever member 44 pulls down the guide rod 41 connected to the upper end while the lower end is swung in the direction of arrow A. Thereby, the upper conveyor 30 attached to the lower end of the guide rod 41 is pulled down, and it will be in the state which presses down a meat log. The L-shaped lever member 43 in this state is indicated by a two-dot chain line, and the grip portion 43a does not protrude toward the worker side, and interferes with the flow line of the worker who performs work such as checking the cutting condition. There is nothing. Moreover, since the lifting direction of the L-shaped lever member 43 is a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the food slicer or the supply direction of the supply conveyor, the operation of the worker is only a work that naturally stretches the hand, and the load is increased. When the upper conveyor 30 that is hung up is lifted and released, it is only necessary to pull it down while applying weight from the L-shaped lever member 43 , so that the operability of the worker is improved from either point.
The L-shaped lever member 43c indicated by a two-dot chain line shows a state in which the upper conveyor 30 is held at a position slightly beyond the top dead center of the guide rod 41 and rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction. It can be held by a simple operation when it is opened for cleaning work. In addition, it is possible to add a safety member to be fixed in the holding state.
Reference numeral 45 denotes a detent member protruding from the L-shaped lever member 43. A rotation-preventing portion 45a that abuts on the L-shaped lever member 43 is screwed to the bracket 42a so as to be movable up and down. The stop position can be adjusted.
[0017]
Next, the details of the base frame 34 of the upper conveyor 30 shown in FIGS. 2B and 3 will be described.
The base frame 34 of the upper conveyor 30 includes a side plate 34b orthogonal to the top plate 34a attached to the guide rod 41, guide holes 34c and 34d drilled in the side plate 34b, and the work shown in FIG. It consists of a cover plate 34e attached only to the operator side and a main body 34f that pivotally supports the drive drum 31 and the like.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the upper conveyor 30 on the side opposite to the worker side. The main body 34f that pivotally supports the drive drum 31 and the like is provided with an attachment portion extending above the endless belt surface, screw holes that are screwed into the guide holes 34c and 34d of the side plate 34b, and the side plates on both sides. It is screwed into the end of the guide bar passed to 34b, 34b. Accordingly, when the upper conveyor 30 moves forward along the guide holes 34c and 34d on the driven drum side, the front end is lowered vertically while lowering the supply surface to the front. This prevents the position of the front end from moving back and forth along the arc when there is no elongated hole and the supply surface is simply tilted with only the rotation shaft, and does not interfere with the rotating blade 11.
On the other hand, the main body 34f of the worker-side upper conveyor 30 shown in FIG. 2B has an upper edge provided below the endless belt surface, and is connected to the side plate 34b by a cover plate 34e. Therefore, as described above with reference to FIG. 3, when the upper conveyor 30 moves forward along the guide holes 34c and 34d on the driven drum side, the front end can be lowered vertically while lowering the supply surface forward. As a member that performs this movement, a mounting portion 43f projects from a guide rod that is passed between the guide holes 34c of the side plate 34b, and is screwed into a screw portion of a knob 43g that is pivotally supported by the bracket 42a. Has been. Thereby, by rotating the knob 43g, the attachment portion 43f moves back and forth to move the upper conveyor 30.
However, the cover plate 34e is only fixed to the side plate 34b with a fastening screw 34h screwed to one of the guide holes 34c and 34d, and the auxiliary hole 34k drilled in the cover plate 34e is a bolt of the main body 34f. Projections such as heads and nuts are inserted and not fixed, and are locked to the auxiliary holes 34k of the auxiliary holes 34k when the upper conveyor 30 is greatly displaced. As a result, the cover plate 34e can be removed by loosening the tightening screw 34h, and the space between the side plate 34b and the main body 34f can be opened, so that the endless belt can be removed while remaining in the annular shape, and cleaning work and parts replacement can be performed. Work became very easy. In order to make it easy to remove the endless belt in the form of a ring, it is possible to bend only the dependent drum side of the main body 34f, or to be able to move the drive drum for adjusting the tension of the endless belt. .
[0018]
