Definitions
- the invention relates to a slicer for food, such as sausage, cheese or the like.
- a clippings wagon which is mounted along a rotating circular knife by hand or motor and with a storage device that a conveyor such as a swing rake or a chain frame with orbiting comprises reversibly driven chains which are equipped with tips and which, starting from the circular knife, convey the cut disks via a depositing tray, and with a racket which can be pivoted against the depositing tray and with fingers which engage behind the conveyor device in a comb-like manner
- the conveyor device having at least two zones for receiving has at least two disks which can be conveyed in the same way and are cut off from at least two pieces of clippings in one cutting operation (cf. for example AT-B 386792).
- machines of this type have a drive for the depositing system, derived mechanically from the clippings wagon mechanically via toothed belt, in particular the conveyor device, the conveying speed of which in the transition area in the circular knife must be exactly matched to the cutting speed according to the feed of the clippings wagon.
- This manual drive was servo-assisted by an electric motor or replaced entirely by an electric drive. It is known to use a program control to approach specific placement points along the conveyor device and thus to create a specific ejection position for each disc by the racket. With this machine, cold cuts can be deposited in two axes.
- a measuring system determines a characteristic measure of the material to be cut (for example the diameter) and uses this measure to program the variation of the respective drop point. In this way, full-surface cold cuts can be filed.
- a characteristic measure of the material to be cut for example the diameter
- a scale into this highly developed slicing machine and thus also produce a sliced according to the customer's wishes, with the correct weight or price.
- this is achieved in that the fingers of the racket reach behind only one of the zones of the conveyor device and that a control for switching on the swivel drive of the racket, for subsequently switching on the conveyor device for a distance corresponding to the distance between the zones and then for reactivating the swivel drive of the Racket is provided. If a sausage stick and a cheese stick are placed and cut parallel to each other on the clippings wagon, then the conveyor takes over two slices, namely a sausage slice and a cheese slice from the knife. The conveyor leads them side by side, for. B. impaled on the tips of the chains of the chain frame, up to the area above the tray.
- a racket with the fingers behind the conveyor device namely the chains or the like, is designed in such a way that the fingers only engage behind the one zone of the conveyor device in which the first of the two disks conveyed is located.
- the folding racket activated by the control pulls this slice (sausage slice) off the tips and throws it onto the tray, on which a bread slice or half a roll can already be placed.
- the controller then activates the drive of the conveyor device and allows the second disc (cheese disc) to advance from the waiting position (second zone) to the discharge position (first zone). Then the racket is switched on again. He throws the cheese slice exactly onto the sausage slice.
- a new control cycle begins as soon as the leading disc reaches the end position on the next cut Has reached the conveyor (at the end of the chain frame). Then it is discarded, the next disc moves up and is discarded again.
- a slicing can also be made if the disc moving from the waiting position (second zone) does not move exactly to the deposit point of the disc already deposited on the chain frame, but if the deposit point is varied.
- the deposit point for example from one end region of the chain frame, can move by an amount that corresponds to the scale-like overlap, towards the beginning of the chain frame, that is, in the direction of the circular knife. This is achieved by shortening the switch-on time of the drive of the conveyor device or by reducing the number of revolutions of a cutting motor via the programmable control.
- a special embodiment which is designed for laying two types of clippings, is characterized in that the fingers of the racket have a length which is less than or approximately equal to half the width of the conveyor. With three types of clippings, the fingers of the racket would have a length of approximately one third of the length of the transport path of the conveyor device (etc.).
- a flexible adjustment to the number of types of clippings used on the clippings wagon is obtained if the fingers of the racket substantially correspond in length to the width of the conveyor device and if the racket can be moved laterally relative to the conveyor device.
- An embodiment is particularly expedient in which a second racket is provided, which is arranged congruently with the first racket and whose fingers are essentially the same in length as the width of the conveying device.
- Fig. 1 shows an oblique view of a slicing machine according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the components essential to the invention in the plan.
- a slicer 1 which in the example carries a stick of sausage 2 and a stick of cheese 3.
- the clippings wagon 1 is longitudinal a rotating driven circular knife 4 movable back and forth (arrow 5 in Fig. 2).
- the cut material is taken up behind the circular knife 4 by a conveyor device 6, which has conveyor chains 8, which are supported on a chain frame 7 and which carry tips 9, on rollers.
- the cut material is gripped (impaled) by these tips 9 and transported further along the conveying device.
- a racket 10 has a rake-shaped design and comprises fingers 11 arranged parallel to one another, which engage behind the conveyor chains 8.
- the racket is pivotable about an axis 12. During the swiveling process, he pulls the cut good from the tips 9 of the conveyor chains 8 and throws the cut good onto a tray 13.
- two clippings namely sausage 2 and cheese 3
- two slices namely a sausage slice 14 and a cheese slice 15
- the conveyor device 6 comes to a standstill there. This results in a zone on the conveyor device 6 in which the first slice, namely the sausage slice 14 comes to rest, and a second zone in which the cheese slice 15 is arranged.
- the fingers 11 of the racket 10 are shortened in comparison to conventional slicing machines, or grip behind the conveying device 6 only over part of the conveying path.
- the length of the fingers 11 corresponds to the width of the first zone in the exemplary embodiment. Only the first zone is attacked.
- a controller 16 switches on the drive 17 (FIG. 2) of the conveying device 6 when the clippings wagon 1 is fed in synchronism with its stroke (arrows 18).
- a displacement measuring system recognizes the reaching of the predeterminable and optionally variable end position of the clippings slices on the conveyor device 6 (arrow 19) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the drive 17 is switched off or disengaged and the racket drive 20 is activated.
- the Beater 10 as described, throws the sausage slice 14 onto the tray.
- the controller 16 then briefly switches on the drive 17 again, as a result of which the second disc, namely the cheese disc 15 from the second zone, which represents the waiting position, reaches the first zone and thus the discharge position.
- the drive 17 switches off and the racket drive 20 is activated again.
- the cheese slice 15 ' is placed precisely on the sausage slices 14'. This process is repeated every time you cut.
- the deposit point is varied from one deposit process to another (e.g. by a program in the control 16), there is no stack with changing clippings, but an overlapping sliced cold cuts.
- the control allows you to store on fixed drop points but also on variable drop points.
- the racket 10 can be exchanged for a racket of the usual finger length, then the machine can be used like a standard machine. It is also possible to use a racket with a length that engages behind the entire conveying device and, in the example, can be extended to the left depending on the number of cut material pieces to be cut at the same time. Furthermore, a standard and a shortened racket for normal operation can work synchronously; in the special case described, only the shortened racket is actuated, the congruently arranged standard racket remains in the rest position engaging behind the conveying device 6.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufschnittschneidemaschine für Lebensmittel, wie Wurst, Käse od. dgl., mit einem Schnittgutwagen, der längs eines rotierenden Kreismessers händisch oder motorisch verschiebbar gelagert ist und mit einer Ablegeeinrichtung, die eine Fördervorrichtung wie beispielsweise einen Schwenkrechen oder einen Kettenrahmen mit umlaufend bzw. reversierend angetriebenen Ketten umfaßt, die mit Spitzen besetzt sind und die die geschnittenen Scheiben vom Kreismesser ausgehend über ein Ablegetablett fördern ,und mit einem gegen das Ablegetablett schwenkbaren Schläger mit Fingern, die die Fördervorrichtung kammartig hintergreifen, wobei die Fördervorrichtung mindestens zwei Zonen zur Aufnahme von mindestens zwei gleichartig förderbaren und in einem Schneidvorgang von mindestens zwei Schnittgutstücken abgeschnittenen Scheiben aufweist (vgl. z.B. AT-B 386792).The invention relates to a slicer for food, such as sausage, cheese or the like., With a clippings wagon, which is mounted along a rotating circular knife by hand or motor and with a storage device that a conveyor such as a swing rake or a chain frame with orbiting comprises reversibly driven chains which are equipped with tips and which, starting from the circular knife, convey the cut disks via a depositing tray, and with a racket which can be pivoted against the depositing tray and with fingers which engage behind the conveyor device in a comb-like manner, the conveyor device having at least two zones for receiving has at least two disks which can be conveyed in the same way and are cut off from at least two pieces of clippings in one cutting operation (cf. for example AT-B 386792).
Maschinen dieser Bauart verfügen im einfachsten Fall über einen vom Schnittgutwagen mechanisch über Zahnriemen abgeleiteten Antrieb für das Ablegesystem, insbesondere die Fördervorrichtung, deren Fördergeschwindigkeit im Übergangsbereich beim Kreismesser exakt auf die Schneidegeschwindigkeit gemäß dem Vorschub des Schnittgutwagens abgestimmt sein muß. Man hat diesen händischen Antrieb durch einen Elektromotor servounterstützt oder zur Gänze durch einen Elektroantrieb ersetzt. Es ist bekannt, über eine Programmsteuerung gezielte Ablegepunkte längs der Fördervorrichtung anzufahren und so für jede Scheibe eine spezielle Abwurfposition durch den Schläger zu schaffen. Mit dieser Maschine können Aufschnitte in zwei Achsenrichtungen geschuppt abgelegt werden. Ein Meßsystem stellt bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ein charakteristisches Maß des Schnittgutes (z. B. den Durchmesser) fest und legt mit diesem Maß die Programmierung der Variation des jeweiligen Ablegepunktes fest. Es können so flächendeckende Aufschnitte abgelegt werden. Zusätzlich ist es bereits gelungen, eine Waage in diese hochentwickelte Aufschnittschneidemaschine zu integrieren und damit einen Aufschnitt zusätzlich nach den Wünschen des Kunden gewichts- oder preiskorrekt herzustellen.In the simplest case, machines of this type have a drive for the depositing system, derived mechanically from the clippings wagon mechanically via toothed belt, in particular the conveyor device, the conveying speed of which in the transition area in the circular knife must be exactly matched to the cutting speed according to the feed of the clippings wagon. This manual drive was servo-assisted by an electric motor or replaced entirely by an electric drive. It is known to use a program control to approach specific placement points along the conveyor device and thus to create a specific ejection position for each disc by the racket. With this machine, cold cuts can be deposited in two axes. In a further embodiment, a measuring system determines a characteristic measure of the material to be cut (for example the diameter) and uses this measure to program the variation of the respective drop point. In this way, full-surface cold cuts can be filed. In addition, it has already been possible to integrate a scale into this highly developed slicing machine and thus also produce a sliced according to the customer's wishes, with the correct weight or price.
Bei allen Maschinen, die über eine Ablegeeinrichtung verfügen, hat man bereits zwei oder mehr Schnittgutstücke (z. B. zwei Wurstsorten A und B) nebeneinander auf dem Schnittgutwagen gelegt und bei jedem Schneidvorgang demnach zwei Scheiben abgeschnitten, die unmittelbar hintereinander von der Fördervorrichtung erfaßt werden und nebeneinander auf der Fördervorrichtung aufgespießt sind. Der die Fördervorrichtung hintergreifende Schläger wirft beide Scheiben zugleich ab, sodaß sich bei wiederholtem Schneiden auf dem Ablegetablett zwei Stapel von Schnittgut (A, B) nebeneinander bilden. Auf diese Weise werden etwa Würste zeitsparend vorgeschnitten. Zur Bereitung von Sandwiches ist es wünschenswert, mehrere Wurstsorten oder Wurst und Käse abwechselnd übereinander zu legen und so die jeweilige Füllung z. B. einer Semmel vorzubereiten. Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Finger des Schlägers nur eine der Zonen der Fördervorrichtung hintergreifen und daß eine Steuerung zum Einschalten des Schwenkantriebes des Schlägers, zum darauffolgenden Einschalten der Fördervorrichtung für eine Wegstrecke entsprechend dem Abstand der Zonen und sodann zum neuerlichen Einschalten des Schwenkantriebes des Schlägers vorgesehen ist. Wenn also eine Wurststange und eine Käsestange parallel nebeneinander auf den Schnittgutwagen aufgelegt und geschnitten werden, dann übernimmt die Fördervorrichtung zwei Scheiben, nämlich eine Wurstscheibe und eine Käsescheiben vom Messer. Die Fördervorrichtung führt diese nebeneinander, z. B. auf den Spitzen der Ketten des Kettenrahmens aufgespießt, bis in den Bereich über das Ablegetablett. Ein Schläger mit die Fördervorrichtung, nämlich die Ketten od. dgl. hintergreifenden Fingern ist so ausgebildet, daß die Finger nur die eine Zone der Fördervorrichtung hintergreifen, in der sich die erste der beiden herangeförderten Scheiben befindet. Der durch die Steuerung aktivierte umklappende Schläger zieht diese Scheibe (Wurstscheibe) von den Spitzen ab und wirft sie auf das Ablegetablett, auf dem allenfalls bereits eine Brotscheibe oder eine Hälfte einer Semmel aufgelegt sein kann. Sodann aktiviert die Steuerung den Antrieb der Fördervorrichtung und läßt die zweite Scheibe (Käsescheibe) aus der Wartestellung (zweite Zone) in die Abwurfstellung (erste Zone) vorrücken. Dann wird der Schläger neuerdings eingeschaltet. Er wirft die Käsescheibe exakt auf die Wurstscheibe. Ein neuer Steuerzyklus beginnt, sobald beim nächsten Schnitt die vorauslaufende Scheibe die Endlage auf der Fördervorrichtung (am Ende des Kettenrahmens) erreicht hat. Dann wird diese abgeworfen, die nächste Scheibe rückt nach und wird wieder abgeworfen.With all machines that have a depositing device, you already have two or more pieces of clippings (e.g. two types of sausage A and B) next to each other on the clippings wagon placed and thus cut off two slices with each cutting process, which are grasped immediately one behind the other by the conveyor and impaled side by side on the conveyor. The beater engaging behind the conveying device throws off both disks at the same time, so that when the cutting is repeated, two stacks of clippings (A, B) are formed next to one another. In this way, sausages are pre-cut to save time. For the preparation of sandwiches, it is desirable to lay several types of sausage or sausage and cheese alternately on top of each other and so the respective filling z. B. prepare a bread. According to the invention this is achieved in that the fingers of the racket reach behind only one of the zones of the conveyor device and that a control for switching on the swivel drive of the racket, for subsequently switching on the conveyor device for a distance corresponding to the distance between the zones and then for reactivating the swivel drive of the Racket is provided. If a sausage stick and a cheese stick are placed and cut parallel to each other on the clippings wagon, then the conveyor takes over two slices, namely a sausage slice and a cheese slice from the knife. The conveyor leads them side by side, for. B. impaled on the tips of the chains of the chain frame, up to the area above the tray. A racket with the fingers behind the conveyor device, namely the chains or the like, is designed in such a way that the fingers only engage behind the one zone of the conveyor device in which the first of the two disks conveyed is located. The folding racket activated by the control pulls this slice (sausage slice) off the tips and throws it onto the tray, on which a bread slice or half a roll can already be placed. The controller then activates the drive of the conveyor device and allows the second disc (cheese disc) to advance from the waiting position (second zone) to the discharge position (first zone). Then the racket is switched on again. He throws the cheese slice exactly onto the sausage slice. A new control cycle begins as soon as the leading disc reaches the end position on the next cut Has reached the conveyor (at the end of the chain frame). Then it is discarded, the next disc moves up and is discarded again.
Mit diesem System läßt sich auch ein Aufschnitt legen, wenn die aus der Wartestellung (zweite Zone) nachrückende Scheibe nicht genau an den Ablegepunkt der bereits abgelegten Scheibe am Kettenrahmen nachrückt, sondern wenn der Ablegepunkt variiert wird. So kann der Ablegepunkt, beispielsweise von dem einen Endbereich des Kettenrahmens jeweils um ein Maß, das der schuppenartigen Überlappung entspricht, gegen den Anfang des Kettenrahmens,also in Richtung auf das Kreismesser wandern. Dies wird durch Verkürzen der Einschaltzeit des Antriebes der Fördervorrichtung bzw. durch Reduzierung der Anzahl der Umdrehungen eines Schnittmotors über die programmierbare Steuerung erreicht.With this system, a slicing can also be made if the disc moving from the waiting position (second zone) does not move exactly to the deposit point of the disc already deposited on the chain frame, but if the deposit point is varied. For example, the deposit point, for example from one end region of the chain frame, can move by an amount that corresponds to the scale-like overlap, towards the beginning of the chain frame, that is, in the direction of the circular knife. This is achieved by shortening the switch-on time of the drive of the conveyor device or by reducing the number of revolutions of a cutting motor via the programmable control.
Eine besondere Ausführungsform, die für das Auflegen von zwei Schnittgutarten konzipiert ist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Finger des Schlägers eine Länge aufweisen, die kleiner oder etwa gleich der halben Breite der Fördervorrichtung ist. Bei drei Schnittgutarten hätten die Finger des Schlägers eine Länge von etwa einem Drittel der Länge des Transportweges der Fördervorrichtung (usw.). Eine flexible Anpassung an die Zahl der gleichzeitig verwendeten Schnittgutarten auf dem Schnittgutwagen ergibt sich, wenn die Finger des Schlägers in ihrer Länge im wesentlichen der Breite der Fördervorrichtung entsprechen und wenn der Schläger seitlich gegenüber der Fördervorrichtung verschiebbar ist. Besonders zweckmäßig ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der ein zweiter Schläger vorgesehen ist, der deckungsgleich mit dem ersten Schläger angeordnet ist und dessen Finger in ihrer Länge im wesentlichen der Breite der Fördervorrichtung gleich sind.A special embodiment, which is designed for laying two types of clippings, is characterized in that the fingers of the racket have a length which is less than or approximately equal to half the width of the conveyor. With three types of clippings, the fingers of the racket would have a length of approximately one third of the length of the transport path of the conveyor device (etc.). A flexible adjustment to the number of types of clippings used on the clippings wagon is obtained if the fingers of the racket substantially correspond in length to the width of the conveyor device and if the racket can be moved laterally relative to the conveyor device. An embodiment is particularly expedient in which a second racket is provided, which is arranged congruently with the first racket and whose fingers are essentially the same in length as the width of the conveying device.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt. Fig. 1 zeigt einen Schrägriß einer erfindungsgemäßen Aufschnittschneidemaschine und Fig. 2 eine schematische Darstellung der erfindungswesentlichen Baugruppen im Grundriß.An embodiment of the subject of the invention is shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 shows an oblique view of a slicing machine according to the invention and Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the components essential to the invention in the plan.
Eine Aufschnittschneidemaschine umfaßt nach den Fig. 1 und 2 einen Schnittgutwagen 1, der im Beispiel eine Stange Wurst 2 und eine Stange Käse 3 trägt. Der Schnittgutwagen 1 ist längs eines rotierend angetriebenen Kreismessers 4 hin- und herbeweglich (Pfeil 5 in Fig. 2). Das geschnittene Gut wird hinter dem Kreismesser 4 von einer Fördervorrichtung 6 übernommen, die auf einem Kettenrahmen 7 auf Rollen gelagerte Förderketten 8 aufweist, die Spitzen 9 tragen. Von diesen Spitzen 9 wird das geschnittene Gut erfaßt (aufgespießt) und längs der Fördervorrichtung weitertransportiert. Ein Schläger 10 ist rechenförmig ausgebildet und umfaßt parallel zueinander angeordnete Finger 11, die die Förderketten 8 hintergreifen. Der Schläger ist um eine Achse 12 schwenkbar. Beim Schwenkvorgang zieht er das geschnittene Gut von den Spitzen 9 der Förderketten 8 ab und wirft das geschnittene Gut auf ein Ablegetablett 13.1 and 2, a
Wenn gemäß den Zeichnungen zwei Schnittgutstangen, nämlich Wurst 2 und Käse 3 nebeneinander auf den Schnittgutwagen 1 gelegt werden, dann werden bei einem Schneidvorgang zwei Scheiben, nämlich eine Wurstscheibe 14 und eine Käsescheibe 15 abgeschnitten und von der Fördervorrichtung 6 erfaßt und in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Position gebracht. Dort kommt die Fördervorrichtung 6 zum Stillstand. Es ergibt sich somit eine Zone auf der Fördervorrichtung 6, in der die erste Scheibe, nämlich die Wurstscheibe 14 zu liegen kommt und eine zweite Zone, in der die Käsescheibe 15 angeordnet ist.If, according to the drawings, two clippings, namely
Die Finger 11 des Schlägers 10 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel gegenüber herkömmlichen Aufschnittschneidemaschinen verkürzt bzw. hintergreifen die Fördervorrichtung 6 nur über einen Teil des Förderweges. Die Länge der Finger 11 entspricht im Ausführungsbeispiel der Breite der ersten Zone. Nur die erste Zone wird hintergriffen. Wenn der Schläger 10 umklappt, dann wird nur die Wurstscheibe 14 auf das Ablegetablett 13 geworfen. Eine Steuerung 16 schaltet den Antrieb 17 (Fig. 2) der Fördervorrichtung 6 beim Vorschub des Schnittgutwagens 1 synchron zu dessen Hub ein (Pfeile 18). Ein Wegmeßsystem erkennt das Erreichen der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten vorbestimmbaren und gegebenenfalls variablen Endlage der Schnittgutscheiben auf der Fördervorrichtung 6 (Pfeil 19). Sobald diese Information bei der Steuerung 16 einlangt, wird der Antrieb 17 abgeschaltet oder ausgekuppelt und der Schlägerantrieb 20 aktiviert. Der Schläger 10 wirft, wie beschrieben, die Wurstscheibe 14 auf das Ablegetablett. Sodann schaltet die Steuerung 16 den Antrieb 17 nochmals kurz ein, wodurch die zweite Scheibe, nämlich die Käsescheibe 15 aus der zweiten Zone, die die Wartestellung repräsentiert, in die erste Zone und damit in die Abwurfposition gelangt. Der Antrieb 17 schaltet ab und der Schlägerantireb 20 wird neuerlich aktiviert. Dadurch wird die Käsescheibe 15′ genau auf die Wurstscheiben14′ gelegt. Dieser Vorang wird bei jedem Schneidevorgang wiederholt. Wird die zweite Scheibe aus der zweiten Zone (Wartestellung) nicht genau auf den Ablegepunkt der ersten Scheibe gefördert, also der Ablegepunkt von einem Ablegevorgang zum anderen Ablebevorgang variiert (z. B. durch ein Programm in der Steuerung 16), dann ergibt sich kein Stapel mit wechselndem Schnittgut, sondern ein überlappend geschuppter Aufschnitt. Die Steuerung gestattet das Ablegen auf fixe Ablegepunkte aber auch auf variable Ablegepunkte.In the exemplary embodiment, the
Mit Hilfe dieser Aufschnittschneidemaschine können Brote oder Semmeln abwechselnd mit zwei Schnittgutsorten übereinander belegt werden. Sandwiches können auf diese Weise eine variable Belegung auch mit Schuppenmuster erhalten.With the help of this slicer, bread or rolls can be alternately topped with two types of clippings. In this way, sandwiches can be given a variable topping even with a scale pattern.
Der Schläger 10 kann gegen einen Schläger der üblichen Fingerlänge ausgetauscht werden, dann läßt sich die Maschine wie eine Standardmaschine verwenden. Es kann auch ein Schläger mit einer die gesamte Fördervorrichtung hintergreifenden Länge verwendet werden, der je nach der Anzahl der gleichzeitig zu schneidenden Schnittgutstücke im Beispiel nach links ausfahrbar ist. Ferner können ein Standard- und ein verkürzter Schläger für den Normalbetrieb synchron arbeiten, bei dem beschriebenen Sonderfall wird nur der verkürzte Schläger betätigt, der deckungsgleich angeordnete Standardschläger verharrt in der die Fördervorrichtung 6 hintergreifenden Ruhelage.The
