[Means for Solving the Problems]

In the present invention, in a chopper for a mince splitting device that feeds mince to a mince splitting device that transports a strip-shaped mince for each predetermined length dimension , the strip is opened on a plate held by an extrusion cylinder of the chopper. The amount of extrusion in a chopper for a mincing splitting device is characterized in that the amount of extrusion of mince is adjusted by attaching and detaching a closing member that closes one group among a large number of through holes and reduces the area of the extrusion opening of the mince. Adjustment method. And a method for adjusting the amount of extrusion in a chopper for a mincing splitting device, wherein the amount of material supplied to the extrusion cylinder is adjusted in relation to the attachment and detachment of the closing member. In addition to the above, a chopper that supplies mince to a mincing dividing device that divides the minced belt into predetermined lengths while conveying the belt-shaped mince, and a plate in which a large number of through holes are formed in the extrusion cylinder of the chopper Is held by a tightening ring, and a closing member that closes a group of the plurality of through holes and reduces the area of the extrusion port is detachably attached to the mincing extrusion port of the extrusion cylinder. The above-mentioned object is achieved by providing a featured chopper for a mincing divider.

  Further, in the plate held by the tightening ring via a distance ring, the closing member is formed from a cylinder in which a male screw is formed on the outer periphery and a closing surface having a predetermined area is formed on the end surface. Thus, an internal thread is engraved on the inner periphery of the distance ring, and the both ends are screwed together to fasten the closing member to the distance ring so that the closing surface of the closing member is brought into contact with the plate. It is desirable that a group located on the outer peripheral side among the plurality of through holes is closed, and the inner side of the closing member is used as an extrusion port for mince.

  Furthermore, in the projecting boss portion at the center of the plate, the closing member has a cap shape in which a female thread is engraved at the center and a closing surface of a predetermined area is formed on the end surface. A male screw is formed on the outer periphery of the boss portion of the plate, and the screw is engaged with the screw to fasten the closing member to the plate, thereby bringing the closing surface of the closing member into contact with the plate. Among the through holes, a group located on the center side may be closed, and the surface of the closing member may be used as a guide surface of the mince to be extruded.

  The through hole of the plate is divided into two groups located on the outer peripheral side and the center side of the plate that is blocked by the blocking surface of the blocking member, and at least one group that is blocked by the blocking surface of the blocking member is It is desirable that the group be surrounded by a contact surface having a continuous contact surface between the closing surface and the plate formed on the outer peripheral side and the center side of the group.

  It is desirable to have adjusting means capable of reducing the amount of material supplied to the extrusion cylinder when the blocking member is mounted.

  According to the present invention, the cinch member is provided with a detachable closing member that closes a group of through-holes opened in the plate and reduces the area of the outlet port of the mince. By doing so, it is possible to easily adjust the supply amount of the mince to the mince dividing device.

  By tightening a cylindrical closing member to a distance ring that holds the plate, a group of through holes opened on the outer peripheral side of the plate is closed to reduce the amount of extrusion and the area of the extrusion port is also reduced, so that it is extruded. The width of the belt-shaped mince can also be reduced.

  In addition, by fastening a cap-shaped closing member to a boss projecting from the center of the plate, a group of through-holes opened in the center of the plate can be closed to reduce the amount of extrusion. Since the surface of the member is the guide surface of the mince to be extruded, the mince is sent out in an orderly manner.

  The through-holes of the plate are divided into two groups, the outer peripheral side and the central side of the plate that are closed by the closing surface of the closing member, and the group that is closed is formed on the outer peripheral side and the central side of the group. Since it is surrounded by the contact surface having the continuous contact surface between the closing surface and the plate, the mince extruded from the closed through-hole is sealed by the contact surface and does not leak out.

  If the supply of the material to the extrusion cylinder is reduced when the closing plate is mounted, a balance between the amount of extrusion of the chopper and the feeding of the material to the extrusion cylinder can be achieved, and a uniform mince without kneading can be supplied.

Embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The basic structure of the chopper for the mincing division apparatus of the first embodiment is known, and the whole is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1 showing the details of the periphery of the extrusion port of the chopper of the chopper in the first embodiment, a plate 4 having a large number of through holes 3 is fitted into the extrusion port 2 of the extrusion tube 1 of the chopper. It is held by a cylindrical distance ring 5. A key groove 7 is engraved on a part of the outer periphery of the plate 4 and is engaged with a key 8 attached to the cylinder 1 to prevent rotation. The distance ring 5 holds the plate 4 with its end abutting against the plate 4 by tightening a ring-shaped tightening ring 6 in which a female thread is formed that is engaged with a male thread created on the outer periphery of the cylinder 1.

  A boss portion projects from the center of the plate 4 toward the extrusion port 2 side, and a pin hole 9 is penetrated through the boss portion. The boss portion is horizontally mounted in the cylinder 1 and is appropriately driven from the end portion. A tip pin 11 attached to the end of the feed screw 10 that feeds the minced material toward the extrusion port 2 is pivotally supported. A cross-shaped knife 12 is fitted and supported on the tip pin 11, but a claw portion 13 provided at the end of the feed screw 10 is engaged with the knife 12 and rotated integrally.

  The tip pin 11 is fitted in a guide hole opened at the end of the feed screw 10 and phased by a key 14, but can be slid in the axial direction and is elastically pressed by a spring 15 built in the guide hole. Thus, the knife 12 is pressed against the plate 4 with a predetermined pressure.

  Next, the closing member and its related parts which are detachably attached to the extrusion port 2 of the extrusion cylinder 1 which is the gist of the present invention will be described in detail. The closing member 16 in the first embodiment is formed of a cylinder having a predetermined thickness, and a male screw is created on the outer periphery. The closing member 16 is screwed into a female screw engraved on the inner periphery of the distance ring 5 so that the outer side of the closing member 16 is Fastening is performed by hooking and rotating a wrench in a hanging hole (not shown) appropriately engraved on the tip surface.

  A blocking surface having a predetermined area is formed on the end surface of the blocking member 16 that contacts the surface of the plate 4. The closing surface in the present embodiment is stealed with the inner and outer periphery leaving a pressing portion with the ring-shaped plate 4. Further, the inner peripheral side of the closing member 16 is an extrusion port for guiding mince, and the outer end surface is chamfered in an outward taper shape to help the mince flow out.

  The plate 4 has a large number of through holes 3 as shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the large number of through holes 3 are divided into two groups of the outer peripheral side and the center side of the plate 4. A group of the through holes 3 located on the outer peripheral side is closed by a closing surface formed on the end surface of the closing member 16 when the closing member 16 is attached.

  At this time, the contact surface of the plate 4 that contacts the ring-shaped pressing portion formed on the inner and outer periphery of the closing surface of the closing member 16 so that the gravy etc. does not leak from the through-hole 3 closed by the closing surface, A ring shape having a continuous contact surface in contact with the pressing portion of the closing member 16 on the central side and the outer peripheral side of the through-hole group so as to surround a group of the outer peripheral side of the through-hole 3 to be closed (hatched line in FIG. 2) Part).

  In this case, when meat juice leaks particularly from the contact surface on the outer peripheral side, it passes through the fitting portion of the inner diameter portion of the distance ring 5 and the outer shape portion of the closing member 16 and flows out into the extrusion port 2 of the mince through the screw portion, Since it may hang down to the outside through the tightening ring 6 and contaminate the surroundings, the contact surface between the closing surface of the closing member 16 and the plate 4 can ensure a continuous contact surface and enhance the sealing effect. The through hole 3 is arranged.

  Further, the contact surface of the plate 4 with the closing member 16 may be provided with a step by cutting the outside so as to form a step portion that matches the inner diameter of the closing member 16 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This second embodiment is intended to reduce the amount of extrusion by closing a group located on the center side among a large number of through-holes 3 opened in the plate 4a with a closing member 16a. The closing member 16a is detachably attached to the boss projecting from the screw by a screw, and the configuration not directly related to the closing member 16a is the same as in the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment described above, a group located on the outer peripheral side among a large number of through-holes opened in the plate 4 is closed with the cylindrical blocking member 16 so as to reduce the amount of minced extrusion. Since the inner side of 16 is a mince passage, it becomes a width dimension suitable for the flow rate of mince, and the subsequent work becomes easy.

However, the through-hole 3 on the outer peripheral side of the plate to be blocked has higher extrusion efficiency than that on the center side.
On the other hand, the group located on the center side of the plate 4 has a low extrusion efficiency, and bone fragments mixed in the raw meat tend to accumulate, and if it is operated for a long time, it closes the through hole 3 and obstructs the extrusion of mince. Sometimes.
Therefore, when a part of the through-hole is closed with the closing member, if there is no hindrance to the subsequent work even if the width dimension of the extruded mince is not narrowed, the through-hole 3 located on the center side of the plate 4 A second embodiment for closing a group is preferred.

  The plate 4a in the second embodiment is held by the ring 6 through the distance ring 5 in the extrusion port 2 of the extrusion cylinder 1 as in the first embodiment, and the boss portion projects from the center portion. A male screw is established on the outer periphery.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the through-holes 3 opened in the plate 4a are divided into two groups, that is, the outer peripheral side and the central side, as in the first embodiment. Is closed with a closing member 16a to reduce the amount of extrusion, and the outer peripheral side and the center side in a group of through-holes 3 to be closed are the same as the continuous closing member 16a as in the first embodiment. It is surrounded by the contact surface (the shaded area in FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the closing member 16a in the second embodiment has a cap shape in which a female screw that engages with a male screw of a boss portion of the plate 4a is formed at the center, and an end surface is opened on the plate 4a. As in the first embodiment, a ring-shaped pressing portion is formed on the inner and outer periphery as a closing surface having an area capable of closing a group located on the center side among the through holes 3.

  The top of the cap-shaped closing member 16a has a polygonal shape, and the closing member 16a can be easily attached and detached using a spanner or the like. The surface of the closing member 16a has a smooth taper shape from the top portion toward the closing surface of the bottom surface, and serves as a guide surface for the extruded mince to assist the smooth flow of mince.

  In the second embodiment, when operating without mounting the closing member 16a, a cap having a shape that does not have a closing surface is provided so as to protect the male screw created at the boss portion of the plate 4a and not disturb the flow of the extruded mince. Tightening is preferable because of the effect of preventing outflow of gravy from the support portion of the tip pin 11.

  In both the first and second embodiments, the plate 4, (4a) is fixed to the extrusion cylinder 1, and the closing member 16, (16a) is brought into contact with the opposite side of contact with the knife 12, Normally, even if the contact surface of the plate 4 and (4a) with the knife 12 is worn during operation, the knife 12 is moved by the tension of the spring 15 so that an appropriate pressure contact state can be maintained. The relative position of is not changed.

  When the contact surface of the plate 4 (4a) with the knife 12 is greatly worn out after a long period of time and cannot be fully supported by the tension of the spring 15, the distance ring 5 is tightened by tightening the tightening ring 6. Moves to adjust the wear of the plate 4 (4a). At this time, since the closing member 16 (16a) is fastened to the distance ring 5 and moves simultaneously, the contact degree with the plate 4 (4a) can be maintained without changing.

In the chopper having the configuration common to the first and second embodiments described above, means for adjusting the supply amount of the minced material to the extrusion tube 1 will be described.
When the closing member 16 (16a) is attached to the extrusion port 2, the rotation speed of the charging screw 20 is reduced while the rotation speed of the feed screw 10 is lowered to match the through hole 3 of the blocked plate 4 (4a). there is no be conceived minced if as that collected by the balance down.

  As a method for this, the feed screw 10 and the charging screw 20 may be incorporated on the same axis and both may be decelerated simultaneously. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The screw screw 20 is in a polymerized state and can be individually shifted.

The feed screw 10 has a shaft portion extending toward the non-extrusion port side, and a shaft end is jointed to a drive shaft 17 supported by the machine body and is rotated by a variable speed motor 18 via a transmission device 19.
A charging screw 20 composed of a hollow shaft having a feed blade formed on the outer periphery is polymerized on the extension shaft portion of the feed screw 10 on the side opposite to the extrusion port. The charging screw 20 is rotated on the drive shaft 17 separately from the feed screw 10. It is connected to the superposed hollow drive shaft 21 and is driven by a variable speed motor (not shown).
The charging screw 20 has a known configuration in which the material agitated by the paddle 23 is extruded toward the inside of the extrusion cylinder 1 by being horizontally mounted on the bottom of a hopper 22 provided at the upper part of the chopper.

  When the closing member 16 (16a) is attached to the extrusion port 2, the feed screw 10 and the charging screw 20 are adjusted to the effective area of the extrusion port 2, that is, the number of the through holes 3 of the opened plate 4 (4a). As appropriate, an appropriate rotation speed is set by a variable speed motor connected to each.

  As described above, when the rotation speed of the feed screw 10 and the charging screw 20 is configured to be individually adjustable, when the amount of extrusion is smaller than that in which the rotation speed is changed at the same time incorporated in the same shaft. In addition, by changing the rotation ratio of both shafts, it is possible to prevent kneading of the extruded mince or make the density uniform.

  As described above, the technology according to the present invention can be easily implemented in a chopper provided in a conventional mincing apparatus.
