Description

The present invention relates to a slice piece guiding apparatus in a meat slicer.

Slices in a meat slicer that the slices cut by the meat slicer are once received by the guide device installed in front of the blade one by one and then transferred onto the conveyor via the mechanical swinging motion of the receiving device. For example, there are Patent Documents 1 and 2 as one piece of guide device.

However, since the guide devices of Patent Documents 1 and 2 repeatedly receive a plurality of slice pieces and then transfer them onto the transport conveyor, the mechanical structure becomes complicated and the cost increases. In addition to the increase in height, slices of frozen meat have problems such as being easily stuck to each other, difficult to transfer one by one, and difficult to arrange slices in a scale.

In addition, as a slicer for slicing frozen meat at a relatively high speed, the chopper slicer of Patent Document 4 is generally used. However, when the slice piece is cut directly on the conveyor, the momentum falls on the conveyor surface. The slice pieces are difficult to slide and align, and there is an inconvenience that it is necessary to realign the posture when transferred to a container or the like.
Japanese Patent No. 33885151 (for example, see page 1 and page 5) JP 2002-79492 A (see, for example, page 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-118982 (for example, see page 1)

In view of the above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the conventional slice piece receiving device has a drawback, that is, the structure becomes mechanically complicated, the cost is high, and it is easy to stick. The problem is that it is difficult to transfer onto a conveyor or to arrange in a scale. Another problem is to correct misalignment when slicing frozen meat with a chopper slicer.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention continuously cuts the material fed out from the meat box with a predetermined thickness with a rotating blade to obtain a sliced piece, and the unloading portion below the cutting position of the blade. In the meat slicer in which the slice piece is carried out with the base end portion of the meat slicer provided on the side of the base end portion of the carry-out portion, provided with an opening / closing drive means and its operation control means, A slice plate receiving plate reciprocating between the transverse direction, and the surface of the receiving plate having an initial position in the transverse direction of the base end portion, the slice pieces from the start of material cutting to an appropriate quantity are almost perpendicular When the received quantity reaches a preset quantity, the opening / closing driving means is operated to open the receiving plate, and the slice piece received vertically is tilted on the carry-out portion, and is tilted. There is provided a guide apparatus slices in meat slicer, characterized in that the piece slices as superimposed subsequent slices next stacked side by side like.

The slice piece guiding device of the present invention allows the slice pieces from the start of cutting the slice pieces to an appropriate quantity to be received substantially perpendicularly to the receiving plate, then opens the receiving plate and tilts it on the carry-out part, and forms a horizontally stacked arrangement. The subsequent slice pieces are stacked one after the other on the final slice piece, and all slice pieces processed at one time orderly overlap the horizontal stack state (adjacent row state). . For this reason, it is possible to reduce the labor required for post-processing and to reduce costs. Moreover, when slicing frozen meat, there exists an effect which can arrange a slice piece orderly.

The meat slicer used in the present invention is provided with a slanted-shaped blade that rotates at a fixed position on the machine base, and is also installed at a fixed position on the machine base so that the material is automatically delivered by a set amount. Using a chopper slicer with a box, and loading frozen meat in the meat box and slicing it into a sword-shaped blade, it can be sliced at a relatively high speed, and the base end is located below the cutting position of the blade. Provided on the side of the unloading portion is an opening / closing drive means and its operation control means, and a slice piece receiving plate reciprocating between the unloading direction and the transverse direction of the slice piece, and the initial position is the base end The surface of this receiving plate in the transverse direction of the section is made to receive slice pieces from the beginning of material cutting to the appropriate quantity almost vertically, and when the received quantity reaches a preset quantity, the opening / closing drive means is activated Let the receiver The plate is opened, and the slice piece received vertically is tilted diagonally on the carry-out part to form a state of being stacked side by side, and the next slice piece is dropped on the final slice piece The apparatus for guiding slice pieces in a meat slicer, in which subsequent slice pieces are stacked side by side in the cut-off order.

1 is a perspective view of an embodiment in which the apparatus of the present invention is attached to a chopper slicer S, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view of the same, FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the slicer, and FIG. 4 is a receiving plate. FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating a half-opened state of the receiving plate, and FIG. 6 is a plan view illustrating a fully opened state of the receiving plate.

In the drawing showing the embodiment, 1 is a blade frame standing on the machine base F, 2 is a slanted blade tool provided rotatably in the blade frame, and 3 is a front end surface on the rotation surface of the blade 2. It is a meat box installed on the machine base F so as to feed a certain amount of material toward the rotating blade 2 and connected to the blade frame 1 along.

4 is sliced by placing a base end 4a in front of the meat box 3 at the cut-off position of the blade 2 and being continuously provided at the same height as the bottom surface of the meat box 3, and providing a convex shape 4b along the carry-out direction on the bottom surface The unloading unit 6 for feeding the piece 5 includes an opening / closing drive unit 7 and an operation control unit (not shown) on the side of the base end 4a of the unloading unit 4 (the back side in FIGS. 1 and 2). And a receiving plate for the slice piece 5 that reciprocates (opens and closes) between the carrying-out direction and the transverse direction of the slice piece.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening / closing drive means 7 is connected with a plunger 11 via a link 10 to a bracket 9 provided on the back side of the base of the receiving plate 6 having the axis of the hinge 8 vertically. The air cylinder is used, and this air cylinder is operated at an appropriate time by a signal from a control means (not shown) to open and close the receiving plate 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 3. When the slicer S is started and the operation is started, the blade 2 is rotated, the receiving plate 6 is opened, and the base end portion 4 a of the carry-out portion 4 is opened. The initial position along the transverse direction is reached. Next, when meat feed starts in the meat box, slicing begins.
The slice pieces that are first cut off by the blade 2 are received on the front side of the receiving plate 6 at the initial position and take a vertical posture on the base end portion 4a of the carry-out portion 4, and the next slice pieces 5 are cut in the order in which they are cut off. Line up vertically (see FIG. 4).

When the slice piece 5 from the start of material cutting to an appropriate quantity is received on the front side of the receiving plate 6 with the initial position in the transverse direction of the base end 4a (see FIG. 5), the operation control means in which the receiving quantity is set in advance. Signal (D1 × D2 ≧ D0) causes the opening / closing drive means 7 to operate and close the receiving plate 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the slice pieces 5 released from the restriction of the receiving plate 6 are automatically tilted forward from the vertical state and placed in a horizontally stacked manner on the carry-out unit 4 (in the adjacent row state). In other words, the subsequent slice pieces are superimposed on the previous slice piece 5 that is inclined, and all the slice pieces that are sliced at once are aligned in a horizontal stack on the carry-out unit 4.

The apparatus according to the present invention can be applied not only to a chopper slicer having a slanted blade and a fixed installation type meat box as in the embodiment, but also to a slicer having a round blade or a meat box reciprocating slicer. . Moreover, in the Example, although the carrying-out part connected with the meat box across the gap | interval which a rotating blade passes is provided, the conveyor for carrying out can also be connected to a meat box.
