Abstract

The slicing device includes a sickle-knife (1), which has a non-uniform rise of the spiral cutting edge (2), less in the end zone (5). It also has a weight-balancing region (3), bringing it closer to a circular shape. The effect of this region is that the centre of gravity of the knife is in its geometrical centre (4). The lower-rise end cone may extend over the last quarter of the length of the cutting edge, which encompasses about 200 degrees to 250 degrees , preferably 215 degrees to 230 degrees . The weight-balancing region of the disc may be bounded by a circular cutout outline (6).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum scheibenförmigen Aufschneiden von Lebensmittelsprodukten, die mittels einer Produktzuführvorrichtung in eine Schneidebene vorschiebbar sind, in der ein um die eigene Achse rotierendes Sichelmesser planetarisch umläuft.The invention relates to a device for the slicing of food products in the form of a disk, which can be advanced by means of a product feed device into a cutting plane in which a sickle knife rotating about its own axis rotates in a planetary manner.

Derartige Vorrichtungen zum scheibenförmigen Aufschneiden von Lebensmittelprodukten, auch Slicer genannt, sind bekannt, wobei Sichelmesser vor allem deshalb verwendet werden, weil sie im Vergleich zu bekannten Kreismessern höhere Schnittgeschwindigkeiten zulassen. Sind beispielsweise mit normalen Kreismessern etwa 1000 Schnitte erreichbar, dann gelingt es bei Einsatz von Sichelmessern, eine Steigerung auf 1500 bis 1800 Schnitte zu erzielen, das heißt eine erhebliche Produktivitäts- bzw. Leistungssteigerung zu erreichen.Devices of this type for slicing food products, also called slicers, are known, sickle knives being used primarily because they allow higher cutting speeds than known circular knives. If, for example, about 1000 cuts can be achieved with normal circular knives, then with the use of sickle knives it is possible to increase to 1,500 to 1,800 cuts, that is to say to achieve a significant increase in productivity and performance.

Herkömmliche Sichelmesser besitzen eine spiralig verlaufende Schneidkante mit kontinuierlich zunehmender Steigung, wobei es üblich ist, pro 10° eine Durchmesservergrößerung des Sichelmessers von etwa 6 bis 7 mm vorzusehen. Alle bekannten Sichelmesser sind mit den Nachteilen behaftet, daß der auf die jeweils aufzuschneidenden Produkte ausgeübte Druck so groß ist, daß beim Aufschneiden weicher Produkte erhebliche Probleme entstehen, denen nur durch teures Kühlen der jeweiligen Produkte oder durch aufwendiges Umfassen der Produkte entgegengewirkt werden kann, daß ein Ausfransen der Scheibenenden häufig nicht verhindert werden kann, und daß aufgrund der den Sichelmessern eigenen Unwucht stets ein aufwendiges Auswuchten des Messerkopfes erforderlich ist, was sich insbesondere dann ungünstig auswirkt, wenn aufgrund eines erforderlichen Größenwechsels ein Messeraustausch notwendig wird.Conventional sickle knives have a spirally running cutting edge with a continuously increasing gradient, it being customary to provide an increase in diameter of the sickle knife of approximately 6 to 7 mm per 10 °. All known sickle knives have the disadvantages that the pressure exerted on the products to be sliced is so great that considerable problems arise when slicing soft products, which can only be counteracted by expensive cooling of the respective products or by complex embracing of the products that Fraying of the disc ends often cannot be prevented, and that, due to the imbalance inherent in the sickle knives, complex balancing of the cutter head is always necessary, which is particularly disadvantageous when a knife change is required due to a change in size becomes necessary.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die eingangs genannte Vorrichtung mit einem Sichelmesser zu versehen, das höchste Schnittgeschwindigkeiten auch bei problematischen Produkten zuläßt, einwandfreie Schnitte gewährleistet und im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Sichelmessern auch bei einem Messeraustausch in der Vorrichtung einfach handhabbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide the device mentioned at the outset with a sickle knife which allows the highest cutting speeds even with problematic products, ensures flawless cuts and is easy to handle in the device in comparison with conventional sickle knives even when exchanging knives.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung im wesentlichen dadurch, daß die Schneidkante des Sichelmessers entsprechend einer Spirale mit ungleicher, im radial äußeren Endbereich geringerer Steigung verläuft, und daß dem Mittelbereich der spiralig verlaufenden Schneidkante diametral gegenüberliegend ein einen Gewichtsausgleich bildender Scheibenbereich vorgesehen ist, der derart gestaltet und dimensioniert ist, daß der Schwerpunkt des Sichelmessers im Zentrum liegt.This object is achieved according to the invention essentially in that the cutting edge of the sickle knife runs according to a spiral with an uneven slope in the radially outer end region, and that the central region of the spiraling cutting edge is provided diametrically opposite a disc area forming a weight compensation, which is such is designed and dimensioned so that the center of gravity of the sickle knife lies in the center.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung des Sichelmessers nach der Erfindung wird es möglich, auch kritische, das heißt vergleichsweise weiche Produkte mit hohen Schnittgeschwindigkeiten zu schneiden, da der Schneiddruck auf das Produkt verringert und am Schluß des jeweiligen Schnittes nicht gedrückt, sondern geschnitten wird und damit einem Abreißen und Ausfransen der Scheiben wirksam entgegengewirkt wird.This configuration of the sickle knife according to the invention makes it possible to cut even critical, that is to say comparatively soft, products at high cutting speeds, since the cutting pressure on the product is reduced and is not pressed at the end of the respective cut but is cut and thus torn off and Fraying the panes is effectively counteracted.

Durch die Schaffung eines Gewichtsausgleichs-Scheibenbereichs wird erreicht, daß das Sichelmesser einem Kreismesser angeglichen und der Schwerpunkt in das Zentrum verlagert wird, so daß ein problemfreier Austausch der jeweiligen Sichelmesser, auch wenn Sie unterschiedliche Größe besitzen, ermöglicht wird und der Messerkopf nicht mehr mit einer Unwucht zum Messer gewuchtet werden muß.By creating a weight-balancing disc area it is achieved that the sickle knife is aligned with a circular knife and the center of gravity is shifted to the center, so that a problem-free exchange of the respective sickle knife, even if they have different sizes, is made possible and the knife head no longer with one Unbalance to the knife must be balanced.

Durch die Ausgestaltung des Sichelmessers wird insgesamt ein stabileres Sichelmesser erhalten, wobei aufgrund der Messerkontur auch die Windgeräusche reduzieret werden.Due to the design of the sickle knife, a more stable sickle knife is obtained overall, the wind noise being reduced due to the knife contour.

Durch den Anschliff des Sichelmessers an der Messer-Vorderseite, der vorzugsweise etwa 12° beträgt, und die konkave Ausgestaltung der Hinterseite des Messers, die mindestens 5° beträgt, wird ein sehr geringer Schneiddruck gewährleistet und die Ausbildung eines Schmierfilms auf den Produktscheiben vermieden.By grinding the sickle knife on the front of the knife, which is preferably approximately 12 °, and the concave design of the rear of the knife, which is at least 5 °, a very low cutting pressure is ensured and the formation of a lubricating film on the product disks is avoided.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous features of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert; in der Zeichnung Zeigt:

Figur 1
eine schematische Draufsicht eines Sichelmessers nach der Erfindung, und
Figur 2
eine Teilschnittdarstellung des Schneidkantenbereichs des Sichelmessers nach Figur 1.
An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to the drawing; in the drawing shows:
Figure 1
is a schematic plan view of a sickle knife according to the invention, and
Figure 2
2 shows a partial sectional view of the cutting edge region of the sickle knife according to FIG. 1.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Sichelmesser 1 mit einer spiralig verlaufenden Schneidkante 2, wobei diese Spirale ungleiche Steigung besitzt und insbesondere im letzten Viertel der spiraligen Schneidkante 2, das heißt im Endbereich 5 die Steigung geringer ist, wodurch beim praktischen Einsatz des Sichelmessers 1 der Schneiddruck auf das Produkt verringert wird.Figure 1 shows a sickle knife 1 with a spiral cutting edge 2, this spiral has an uneven slope and in particular in the last quarter of the spiral cutting edge 2, that is, the slope is lower in the end region 5, whereby the practical use of the sickle knife 1, the cutting pressure on the Product is reduced.

Dem Mittelbereich der Schneidkante 2 etwa diametral gegenüberliegend ist das Sichelmesser 1 mit einem Gewichtsausgleichs-Scheibenbereich 3 versehen, welcher nicht nur zu einer Erhöhung der Stabilität des Sichelmessers 1 aufgrund einer generellen Annäherung des Sichelmessers in seinen Umfangskonturen an ein Kreismesser führt, sondern es aufgrund seiner Ausgestaltung und Dimensionierung ermöglicht, den Schwerpunkt des Sichelmessers 1 in das Zentrum 4 zu verlagern.The sickle knife 1 is provided with a weight-compensating disk area 3, approximately diametrically opposite the central area of the cutting edge 2, which not only increases the stability of the sickle knife 1 leads to a general approximation of the sickle knife in its circumferential contours to a circular knife, but rather, because of its design and dimensions, enables the center of gravity of the sickle knife 1 to be shifted into the center 4.

Der Gewichtsausgleichs-Scheibenbereich 3 beginnt unmittelbar am Ende des Sichelmesser-Schneidbereichs und erstreckt sich bis in die Nähe des Beginns der Schneidkante 2. Zwischen dem Ende des Gewichtsausgleichs-Scheibenbereichs 3 und dem Beginn der Schneidkante 2 ist ein Freiraum 9 vorgesehen, dessen Basiskante 10 radial innerhalb der Schneidkante 2 gelegen ist, und zwar vorzugsweise etwa auf einem Radius, der der radial inneren Begrenzung des äußeren Anschliffbereichs des Sichelmessers 1 entspricht.The weight compensation disk area 3 begins immediately at the end of the sickle knife cutting area and extends up to the vicinity of the beginning of the cutting edge 2. Between the end of the weight compensation disk area 3 and the beginning of the cutting edge 2, a free space 9 is provided, the base edge 10 of which is radial is located within the cutting edge 2, preferably approximately on a radius that corresponds to the radially inner boundary of the outer bevel region of the sickle knife 1.

Der Gewichtsausgleichs-Scheibenbereich 3 ist radial außen durch eine Kreisabschnittskontur 6 begrenzt, wobei der Radius dieser Begrenzung 6 größer ist als der minimale Radius und kleiner als der maximale Radius der spiraligen Schneidkante 2.The weight compensation disk area 3 is delimited radially on the outside by a circular section contour 6, the radius of this delimitation 6 being larger than the minimum radius and smaller than the maximum radius of the spiral cutting edge 2.

Das Sichelmesser 1 kann aufgrund der Annäherung an die Kreisform auch wesentlich schlanker als herkömmliche Sichelmesser ausgebildet werden. Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist aber die Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts des Sichelmessers in das Zentrum 4, da das Sichelmesser 1 dann praktisch wie ein Kreis- oder Rundmesser gehandhabt werden kann und die bisher erforderliche spezielle Auswuchtung des Messerkopfes bezogen auf das jeweils verwendete Sichelmeser entfällt.Due to the approximation to the circular shape, the sickle knife 1 can also be made considerably slimmer than conventional sickle knives. However, it is essential to shift the center of gravity of the sickle knife into the center 4, since the sickle knife 1 can then be handled practically like a circular or circular knife and the previously required special balancing of the cutter head in relation to the sickle knife used in each case is eliminated.

Es hat sich auch gezeigt, daß bei Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Sichelmessers weniger Windgeräusche auftreten, weil die Strömungsabrißkanten günstiger als bei herkömmlichen Sichelmessern sind.It has also been shown that less wind noise occurs when using the sickle knife according to the invention, because the flow separation edges are cheaper than with conventional sickle knives.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Teilschnitt durch den Schneidkantenbereich des Sichelmessers 1. Der Anschliffbereich 7 des Sichelmessers 1 an der Vorderseite besitzt eine Neigung von etwa 12°, wobei durch diesen Schliff ein besonders geringer Schneiddruck erreicht und die Ausbildung eines Schmierfilms auf den Produktscheiben vermieden wird. Dazu trägt auch bei, daß die Hinterseite 8 des Sichelmessers 1 mindestens 5° konkav ausgeführt ist.FIG. 2 shows a partial section through the cutting edge area of the sickle knife 1. The bevel area 7 of the sickle knife 1 on the front has an inclination of approximately 12 °, with this cut achieving a particularly low cutting pressure and avoiding the formation of a lubricating film on the product disks. This also contributes to the fact that the rear side 8 of the sickle knife 1 is at least 5 ° concave.

Durch das Sichelmesser nach der Erfindung wird eine wesentliche Leistungssteigerung erreicht, und zwar auch bei schwierigen, insbesondere weichen Produkten, ohne daß diese Produkte besonders gekühlt oder im Rahmen der Produktzuführung in ihrem Umfangsbereich speziell gefaßt werden müßten.The sickle knife according to the invention achieves a substantial increase in performance, even in the case of difficult, in particular soft products, without these products having to be particularly cooled or specially gripped in the scope of the product feed in their peripheral region.

Unabhängig von der jeweils gewählten Steigung der Schneidkante wird bereits in dem vorgesehenen Gewichtsausgleich zur Schwerpunktzentrierung eine selbständige Erfindung gesehen.Regardless of the selected slope of the cutting edge, an independent invention is already seen in the proposed weight compensation for centering the center of gravity.
