Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to setting a thickness by electrically associating a material feed adjusting device for a meat slicer and a thickness adjusting device for adjusting the thickness of a slice piece. Accordingly, the invention relates to a thickness and adjusting device of a meat slicer in which the material feed amount adjuster and the backing plate that determines the thickness of the sliced piece are automatically adjusted to positions corresponding to the set values.

2. Description of the Related Art In a material feed adjusting device and a thickness adjusting device for a meat slicer, an apparatus in which both adjustments are electrically related to each other is, for example, a material feeding mechanism for a meat slicer disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-40519.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional device is a material feed adjusting device for setting the feed amount of the conveyor attached to the material feed box of the meat slicer,
If you give a setting operation to either one of the thickness adjusting device and the thickness adjusting device that adjusts the setting position of the backing plate that is located in front of the material feeding box and suppresses the front end surface of the material sent out from the material feeding box, It is configured such that a setting amount corresponding to the setting operation is generated interlockingly with the other adjusting device, but the operating amount of the adjusting shaft of one adjusting device is exerted on the other, or both adjusting devices are applied. Were to be driven simultaneously according to some preset operation values, so in the case of the former, trials were required until the desired thickness was set, and it was necessary to use a meat slicer for training. However, in the case of the latter, there is an inconvenience that it is possible to only roughly use thick slices, medium slices and thin slices. Therefore, the thickness of the sliced piece is 0 mm without trial.
It was becoming desirable to be able to select freely in the range from 20 mm to 20 mm.

Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, the present invention is a thickness setter for setting the thickness of slice pieces cut by a meat slicer, a feed amount corrector for correcting the feed amount of a material according to the meat quality of the material, and a slice. A position detector that detects the position of the backing plate corresponding to the thickness setting value of the piece,
Similarly, a position detector that detects the position of the feed amount adjuster corresponding to the slice piece thickness setting value is connected to the computer via the input / output device together with the thickness selection switch etc., and this computer is connected to the inside of the computer. A thickness and feed adjusting device for a meat slicer, characterized in that a servo control mechanism for operating the backing plate drive motor and the feed amount adjusting drive motor is connected in accordance with a command based on a result of calculation with various data performed by the calculator. Is provided.

The device of the present invention configured as described above, when the thickness of the sliced piece cut by the meat slicer is set, by the memory and calculation inside the computer, the position of the backing plate for adjusting the thickness and the feed amount adjustment of the material are adjusted. The position of the device is determined, each drive motor is started via the servo control mechanism, the backing plate and the feed adjusting device move to a predetermined position while confirming the moving position by each position detector, The slicer thickness is automatically adjusted. Therefore, the trial for setting the thickness is not required, and the thickness can be arbitrarily adjusted within the range of 0 to 20 mm.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, V1 is a thickness setting volume (thickness setter) that sets the thickness of slice pieces, V2 is a feed amount correction volume (corrector) that corrects the feed amount of material according to the meat quality of the material, V3 is a slice Potentiometer (position detector) that detects the position of the backing plate that corresponds to the set thickness of the slice, V4 is a potentiometer (position that detects the position of the feed amount controller that also corresponds to the set thickness of the slice slice). Detector), C
Is a 4-channel scaner (input section), a CPU is an arithmetic unit of a computer in which the volumes V1 and V2 and potentiometers V3 and V4 are connected via an A / D converter and scanner C, and RAM is a volume V1, V2 and potentiometer. Memory for temporarily storing the information of the Yonmeter V3, V4, ROM for the entire system program, SS for the wall thickness selection switches S1 to S4, and free to decide whether or not to input the set value of the volume V1 to the arithmetic unit CPU. The operation switch unit, SBC, provided with a switch S5 and a set switch S6 used when storing the set value of the volume V1 in the selected switches S1 to S4, is the arithmetic unit CPU.
The servo control mechanism is connected to the output part of the computer so as to operate the contact plate drive motor Ma and the feed amount adjuster drive motor Mb in response to a command from the.

The computer CPU of the computer continuously reads the information of the volumes V1 and V2 and the potentiometers V3 and V4 sequentially through the 4ch scanner.

Now, when you input the desired thickness with the thickness adjustment volume V1, the calculation unit CPU stores the value and the values of the volumes V1, V2 and potentiometers V3, V4 currently stored in the memory RAM and the system program ROM. The calculated data is compared and calculated, and the calculated result is stored in the servo control mechanism SB.
It is transmitted to C as an operation command.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a meat box reciprocating meat slicer incorporating the above automatic thickness and feed adjusting circuit device.
In the figure, A is a thickness adjusting device and B is a feed amount adjusting device.

The thickness adjusting device A is located on one side of the machine base F, on the side of the circular blade 1 that rotates with the blade surface vertical, and alternates with the round blade 1 to travel back and forth on the machine base F ( The backing plate 3 that faces the front end face of the material feeding box 2 and the bearing 4 fixed to the lower part of the backing plate 3 and installed on one side of the machine base F together with the guide support shaft 5 in the thickness adjusting direction. A support shaft 6 slidably received,
A lead screw 8 screwed into a male screw portion 7 formed in the middle of the support shaft 6 in the bearing portion 4, and a pinion gear 10 meshed with a bevel gear 9 integrally formed with the lead screw 8 at the bottom portion of the bearing portion 4 are provided at the upper end.
