Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for portioning food, in particular meat.
- Such devices are used to cut food into portions, for example in the form of slices, the same weight and / or thickness.
- the foods include, for example, fresh meat, sausage, ham, cheese, vegetables or baked goods.
- Known devices for slicing sausage or cheese are also referred to as slicers. Sausage or cheese differs from freshly grown meat because of its consistency in that the corresponding loaves have a solid shape with a volume determined by the production.
- the slicers are therefore equipped with a device for holding the loaves during slicing of the slices.
- pieces of fresh grown meat do not have a solid shape or volume, unless frozen or frozen. For portioning such pieces of meat it is therefore not enough to keep the pieces of meat as in known slicers.
- Portioning devices therefore have a pressing chamber in which the piece of meat is first compressed. After completion of the pressing process, the volume which fills the piece of meat is known. This is used during the subsequent portioning.
- Portioning devices for freshly grown meat are used, for example, in commercial kitchens, in the production of compiled and pre-packaged menus and machine packaging of sliced foods. From a piece of fresh, aged meat or another piece of food individual portions, especially quick pieces of meat, such as schnitzel, steaks or medallions are separated. It is important that the individual portions have a predetermined weight and optionally a predetermined thickness. The slices must be portioned as precisely as possible so that they coincide in their cooking time, the individual portions are not too different and the weight can be stated on a preprinted pack.
- a device for portioning food with an inserting drum having a plurality of pressing chambers and a portioning drum having a plurality of portioning chambers is known.
- the piece of food is compressed in a pressing chamber by means of a side cover and a press ram and pressed into a portioning chamber.
- the portion located in the portioning chamber is separated from the piece of meat by means of a knife movable between the pressing chamber and the portioning chamber, and the portion is removed from the portioning chamber.
- the portioning drum is rotated.
- another portioning chamber of the portioning drum comes in extension of the pressing chamber.
- the other Portionierhunt can be filled again with the food. This process is repeated until the entire food is divided into portions.
- another piece of food can be placed in a second pressing chamber of the inserting drum. If the first piece of food is completely divided into portions, the loading drum is rotated. The portioning can then be continued with the second piece of food. In the now empty pressing chamber can be inserted again a piece of food.
- the slices in the known device after portioning can not be further processed automatically, for example, broken into cubes or strips or provided with a necessary for Cordonbleu Schnitzel section.
- the device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that an ejection element is arranged on the Portionierplatte to eject a separated disc from a Portionierhunt.
- the ejection element is arranged on that side of the portioning plate which faces away from the pressing chamber.
- the ejection element is provided at the position where the separated slices are deposited on a conveyor or in a container.
- the ejection element aids in the process of detaching a severed slice from a portioning chamber.
- a mold or trough is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers.
- a separated slices from a portioning chamber is pressed into the mold. While the portioning plate is moved to cut off another portion of one piece and to deliver another separated disc, the held in the form of disc remains in position and can optionally be further processed. It can be exploited that the portion is fixed in the mold. This is for the further processing of the portion of advantage, since the portion of the tools or tools used for processing can not escape in the form. In the form, for example, the portion can be cut and / or provided with further ingredients.
- an ejection element On the portioning plate, an ejection element is arranged which ejects one or more separated portions from the portioning chamber.
- This is, for example, a stamp that enters the portioning chamber from one side and displaces the portions from the portioning chamber. This speeds up the process of ejecting one or more portions from the portioning chamber.
- a mold On the side facing away from the ejection element of the portioning plate, a mold is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers.
- the ejection element ensures that the separated portion is transferred in the form predetermined by the Portionierhunt to an additional form.
- the further processing or processing of the portion can be done.
- the mold may be equipped with a plurality of blades for cutting cubes or strips. The portion is thus divided during ejection from the portioning chamber into further small sections. This is done in a single operation without the need for additional stations. Furthermore, during the further processing and processing of the portion, the portioning process can be continued.
- cutting tools such as knives, blades or blades are arranged in or on the form to cut the portion arranged in the form in strips or cubes or to produce an incised pocket.
- Ingredients can be filled into the portion, for example, with a schnitzel cordon butter and ham.
- the cutting tools can either be fixed or movable in or on the mold. For cutting a relative movement between the portion to be cut and the cutting tool is necessary. If the cutting tool is stationarily arranged in or on the mold, the cutting takes place when the portion is introduced into the mold and / or when the portion is removed from the mold. If the cutting tool is arranged movably on the mold, the cutting can also take place during the stay of the portion in the mold.
- the mold is equipped with a guide for the movable cutting tool. This may, for example, be a slot in the mold.
- the mold is arranged in spatial distance from the pressing unit. It does not hinder the process of portioning and slicing the individual portions.
- the deposition of the separated portions in the mold and optionally the further processing of the portion in the mold takes place only when the cutting operation is completed. At the same time as depositing a portion in the mold, another portion of the piece can be cut off at the press unit.
- the chamber bottom to adjust the depth of the portioning chamber is arranged displaceably. In this way, portions of different thickness can be produced.
- a collecting container for collecting a plurality of portions is arranged on the portioning plate on the side facing away from the pressing unit.
- the cross-section of the collecting container coincides with the cross section of the Portionierhuntn.
- the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is displaceable in the collecting container. This allows the cutting of several portions and collection of the portions before they are ejected from the portioning chamber.
- the collection container is movable together with the portioning plate, so that both parts can be transferred together to an ejection position, while the portioning process is continued with another portioning chamber of the portioning plate.
- the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is equipped with channels for sucking and / or expelling air or other gases.
- the device has pins whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the channels or is slightly smaller.
- a pin drive is provided which retracts the pins in a certain position of the portioning plate in the channels and thereby freed the channels of impurities. Such cleaning may be performed automatically after a predetermined number of servings or as needed.
- the pressing unit is vertically aligned.
- the pressing chambers extend in their longitudinal direction in the vertical direction.
- the press ram is arranged on the underside of the press unit.
- the cutting element is located at the top of the pressing unit.
- the portioning plate is arranged above the cutting element.
- This arrangement is characterized in that the press chambers can be conveniently filled from the top with a piece of food.
- the opening of the pressing chamber, accessible from above, is at a comfortable height for the user.
- the feed through the Press stamp is from bottom to top.
- the portions separated from the piece are transferred on the knife together with the Portionierhunt in an ejection position.
- the portioning chamber is released downwards.
- a top-mounted ejection element the separated portion is pressed down and falls onto a conveyor or transport device or a container in which the separated portions are collected.
- one or more transport means are arranged below the Portionierplatte to take over the separated portions and to transport.
- a round portioning plate with, for example, four portioning chambers for example, three positions for depositing a separated portion are possible in addition to the position of the actual portioning process. Each of these positions can be assigned to a separate transport device. In this way, portions can be stored on different transport devices depending on their weight or quality.
- the portioning plate is arranged rotatably about an axis. It also has an even number of Portionierhuntn, which are all arranged at the same radial distance from the axis and at the same angular distance from one another in the portioning.
- the rotatable arrangement of the portioning plate has the advantage that the portioning plate can be moved faster than in a displaceable arrangement. This leads to shorter cycle times. If all the portioning chambers in the portioning plate have the same radial distance from the axis, and if the number of portioning chambers is even, then the portioning and cutting and depositing of separated portions at different conveying devices can take place simultaneously. This increases the cycle time of the device.
- the pressing unit and the portioning plate are rotatable about two parallel, spatially separated axes.
- the rotatable arrangement ensures that the movement of the pressing unit and the portioning plate can proceed faster than with a displaceable arrangement.
- Two spatially separated axes mean that the press unit and the portioning plate do not interfere with each other in their movements, and that the ejection or removal of the separated portions from the portioning chambers of the portioning carried out at a distance from the pressing unit and thus sufficient space for the transport of separated portions is available.
- Parallel axes are advantageous because the cut is usually perpendicular to the direction of advance of the piece in the press chamber and the press chambers are arranged with their longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of the press unit.
- the pressing die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a force sensor.
- the force is measured, with which the piece presses against the ram to vice versa. The same applies to the chamber floor.
- This measured force is input to the servo drive control.
- the press die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a displacement or position sensor. While the displacement sensor measures a distance traveled by the ram or chamber bottom, the position sensor determines the absolute position of the ram or chamber bottom relative to a predetermined zero point. The value measured by the sensor is input to the servo drive control.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 a device for portioning meat is shown in two different perspective views.
- the device essentially consists of a press unit 1, a portioning plate 2 and a knife rotatably arranged between the pressing unit and the portioning plate.
- the knife is in the perspective view according to FIG. 1 and 2 not visible.
- the press unit 1 has two press chambers 3a and 3b which are delimited by a respective press chamber housing 4a and 4b and one closure element 5a and 5b each.
- the pressing chamber 3a is below the portioning plate 2 and is therefore not visible. This also applies to the closure element 5a of the pressing chamber 3a. Only the compression chamber housing 4a is partially visible.
- the press unit 1 is driven by a press unit drive for rotation.
- the pressing unit 1 occupies essentially two positions. In a first in the FIGS. 1 and 2 As shown, the first pressing chamber 3a is located below the portioning plate 2 and the second pressing chamber 3b is at the maximum distance from the portioning plate 2. In this setting, the piece of meat located in this pressing chamber 3a is divided into portions. The second pressing chamber 3b is not covered by the portioning plate 2 and therefore freely accessible from above. In it a piece of meat can be introduced from above. In order to facilitate the insertion, the closure element 5b is pulled out of the compression chamber housing 4b so far that the Cross section of the pressing chamber 3b has its largest possible initial setting.
- the closing element 5b is pushed into the pressing chamber housing 4b with the aid of a closing element drive 7 in order to reduce the cross section of the pressing chamber 3b.
- a force sensor not shown in the drawing, thereby determines the force with which the piece of meat counteracts the closure element drive 7.
- the closure element 5b is locked in position.
- the corresponding to the relevant setting of the closure element 5b cross section of the pressing chamber is determined by a, also not recognizable in the drawing displacement sensor.
- the pressing unit 1 is rotated and the second portioning chamber 3b filled with a piece of meat is moved under the portioning plate 2.
- the first pressing chamber 3a is now empty and can be refilled with a piece of meat. This is done in the same way as described above.
- the displacement of the closure elements 5 a and 5 b can take place before, during or after the rotation of the press unit 1.
- the two press chambers 3a and 3b are identical.
- a pressing ram 8 is inserted from below into the pressing chamber 3a or 3b arranged below the portioning plate 2.
- the punch can also be referred to as a plunger. He is in the FIGS. 1 and 2 not visible. He is in the FIGS. 3 to 7 and 15 shown.
- the pressing ram 8 pushes the meat from the bottom upwards into a portioning chamber 9 of the portioning plate 2 arranged above the pressing chamber 3a or 3b.
- the portioning plate 2 is equipped with a total of 4 portioning chambers 9. Above the position at which a pressing chamber 3a or 3b can be brought into coincidence with a portioning chamber 9, a chamber bottom 10 is arranged to be displaceable in the vertical direction. To the Moving the chamber bottom 10, a chamber floor drive 11 is provided.
- the chamber bottom 10 is inserted from above into a portioning chamber 9.
- the thickness and thus the weight of a portion depends on how far or how deep the bottom of the chamber protrudes into the portioning chamber.
- the weight of the portions and their thickness is thus adjustable over the position of the chamber bottom 10.
- the piece of meat is pressed from below through the press ram 8 into the portioning chamber 9 closed by the chamber bottom 10, so that the meat fills the entire portioning chamber.
- the press ram 8 and the chamber bottom 10 press against each other.
- the portion, which is located in the portioning chamber 9 is cut by a knife, not shown, from the piece of meat.
- a knife not shown
- the chamber bottom 10 is pulled upwards by the chamber bottom drive 11, so that the portioning plate 2 can be rotated by the portioning plate drive 12.
- the rotation in this case by 90 °, 180 ° or 270 °. This depends on the quality of the portion.
- End pieces of the meat piece which have a lower weight than the predetermined target weight, for example, can be separated from the remaining portions.
- the knife not visible in the drawing, is rotated together with the portioning plate 2 until the separated portion is above the intended ejection position. Subsequently, the knife is returned to its original position above the pressing chamber to cut off the next portion.
- the portioning chamber 9 is now open at the bottom. With the aid of a punch-like ejection element 13, the separated portion is pushed down out of the portioning chamber 9 and falls into a container 14, which is moved by a transport device 15.
- a second punch-like Ausforcestelement 16 is located above a second transport means 17. Both ejectors 13 and 16 are equipped with drives 18 and 19.
- the associated closing element 5a or 5b is pulled out of the pressing chamber housing 4a or 4b, so that the cross section of the pressing chamber increases again and the insertion of a piece of meat is relieved.
- the position and the force of the closure element 5a or 5b are continuously detected not only when a new piece of meat is inserted, but also during the portioning process. If the force decreases or increases due to the shape of the piece of meat during the portioning operation, the position of the closure element can be adjusted during the portioning process.
- FIGS. 3 to 7 show the press stamp in different views.
- the press stamp has a holder 20, on which a in FIG. 15 recognizable press-rod 39 can be fixed, which the movement of a in the Figures 14 and 15 recognizable press ram drive 38 transmits to the ram.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zum Portionieren von Lebensmitteln, insbesondere Fleisch.The invention relates to a device for portioning food, in particular meat.
Derartige Vorrichtungen werden eingesetzt, um Lebensmittel in Portionen, beispielsweise in Form von Scheiben, gleichen Gewichts und/ oder gleicher Dicke aufzuschneiden. Zu den Lebensmitteln zählen beispielsweise frisches gewachsenes Fleisch, Wurst, Schinken, Käse, Gemüse oder Backwaren. Bekannte Vorrichtungen zum Aufschneiden von Wurst oder Käse werden auch als Slicer bezeichnet. Wurst oder Käse unterscheidet sich von frischem gewachsenem Fleisch aufgrund seiner Konsistenz dadurch, dass die entsprechenden Laibe eine feste Form mit einem durch die Herstellung vorgegebenen Volumen aufweisen. Die Slicer sind daher mit einer Vorrichtung zum Halten der Laibe während des Schneidens der Scheiben ausgestattet. Im Unterschied dazu weisen Stücke frischen gewachsenen Fleisches keine feste Form und kein vorgegebenes Volumen auf, sofern sie nicht tiefgekühlt oder gefroren sind. Zum Portionieren derartiger Fleischstücke genügt es daher nicht, die Fleischstücke wie bei bekannten Slicern zu halten. Vorrichtungen zum Portionieren weisen daher eine Presskammer auf, in der das Fleischstück zunächst zusammengepresst wird. Nach Abschluss des Pressvorgangs ist das Volumen, welches das Fleischstück ausfüllt, bekannt. Dies wird beim anschließenden Portionieren ausgenutzt.Such devices are used to cut food into portions, for example in the form of slices, the same weight and / or thickness. The foods include, for example, fresh meat, sausage, ham, cheese, vegetables or baked goods. Known devices for slicing sausage or cheese are also referred to as slicers. Sausage or cheese differs from freshly grown meat because of its consistency in that the corresponding loaves have a solid shape with a volume determined by the production. The slicers are therefore equipped with a device for holding the loaves during slicing of the slices. In contrast, pieces of fresh grown meat do not have a solid shape or volume, unless frozen or frozen. For portioning such pieces of meat it is therefore not enough to keep the pieces of meat as in known slicers. Portioning devices therefore have a pressing chamber in which the piece of meat is first compressed. After completion of the pressing process, the volume which fills the piece of meat is known. This is used during the subsequent portioning.
Portioniervorrichtungen für frisches gewachsenes Fleisch werden beispielsweise in Großküchen, bei der Herstellung von zusammengestellten und abgepackten Menüs und beim maschinellen Verpacken von aufgeschnittenen Lebensmitteln eingesetzt. Von einem Stück frischem, gewachsenem Fleisch oder einem anderen Lebensmittelstück werden einzelne Portionen, insbesondere Schnellbratstücke, wie Schnitzel, Steaks oder Medaillons abgetrennt. Dabei kommt es darauf an, dass die einzelnen Portionen ein vorgegebenes Gewicht und gegebenenfalls eine vorgegebene Dicke aufweisen. Die Scheiben müssen möglichst exakt portioniert sein, damit sie in ihrer Garzeit übereinstimmen, die einzelnen Portionen nicht zu unterschiedlich sind und das Gewicht auf einer vorgedruckten Packung angegeben werden kann.Portioning devices for freshly grown meat are used, for example, in commercial kitchens, in the production of compiled and pre-packaged menus and machine packaging of sliced foods. From a piece of fresh, aged meat or another piece of food individual portions, especially quick pieces of meat, such as schnitzel, steaks or medallions are separated. It is important that the individual portions have a predetermined weight and optionally a predetermined thickness. The slices must be portioned as precisely as possible so that they coincide in their cooking time, the individual portions are not too different and the weight can be stated on a preprinted pack.
Aus dem Stand der Technik der
Als nachteilig erweist sich bei diesem bekannten Stand der Technik, dass der Querschnitt der Presskammern, des Pressstempels und der Portionierkammern fest vorgegeben ist und nicht an das jeweilige Lebensmittel angepasst werden kann. Dies ist jedoch bei Fleisch wichtig, da die zu portionierenden Stücke hinsichtlich ihrer Größe und ihrer Konsistenz stark voneinander abweichen können. Zur Anpassung kann der Benutzer allenfalls die Einlegetrommel und die Portioniertrommel austauschen, was mit einem hohen Aufwand an Zeit und Kosten verbunden ist. Verzichtet der Benutzer auf eine Anpassung, so führt dies zu unerwünschten Abweichungen beim Gewicht der einzelnen Portionen.A disadvantage proves in this prior art that the cross section of the press chambers, the ram and the Portionierkammern is fixed and can not be adapted to the particular food. However, this is important in the case of meat, since the pieces to be portioned can differ greatly in terms of their size and consistency. For adaptation, the user can replace at most the inserting drum and the portioning drum, which is associated with a high expenditure of time and costs. If the user refrains from adapting, this leads to undesirable variations in the weight of the individual portions.
Ferner erweist sich als nachteilig, dass die Scheiben bei der bekannten Vorrichtung nach dem Portionieren nicht automatisch weiterbearbeitet werden können, zum Beispiel in Würfel oder Streifen zerlegt oder mit einem für Cordonbleu-Schnitzel notwendigen Schnitt versehen werden.Furthermore, it proves to be disadvantageous that the slices in the known device after portioning can not be further processed automatically, for example, broken into cubes or strips or provided with a necessary for Cordonbleu Schnitzel section.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein Ausstoßelement an der Portionierplatte angeordnet ist, um eine abgetrennte Scheibe aus einer Portionierkammer auszustoßen. Das Ausstoßelement ist an derjenigen Seite der Portionierplatte angeordnet, die der Presskammer abgewandt ist. Außerdem ist das Ausstoßelement an der Position vorgesehen, an der die abgetrennten Scheiben auf einer Transporteinrichtung oder in einem Behälter abgelegt werden. Das Ausstoßelement unterstützt den Vorgang des Herauslösens einer abgetrennten Scheibe aus einer Portionierkammer. Darüber hinaus ist an der dem Ausstoßelement abgewandten Seite der Portionierplatte eine Form oder Mulde angeordnet, deren Querschnitt mit dem Querschnitt der Portionierkammern übereinstimmt. Durch das Ausstoßelement wird eine abgetrennte Scheiben aus einer Portionierkammer in die Form gedrückt. Während die Portionierplatte bewegt wird um eine weitere Portion von einem Stück abzuschneiden und eine andere abgetrennte Scheibe abzugeben, verbleibt die in der Form gehaltene Scheibe an ihrer Position und kann gegebenenfalls weiter bearbeitet werden. Dabei kann ausgenutzt werden, dass die Portion in der Form fixiert ist. Dies ist für die weitere Bearbeitung der Portion von Vorteil, da die Portion dem zur Bearbeitung eingesetzten Hilfsmittel oder Werkzeug in der Form nicht ausweichen kann. In der Form kann die Portion beispielsweise geschnitten und/ oder mit weiteren Zutaten versehen werden.The device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that an ejection element is arranged on the Portionierplatte to eject a separated disc from a Portionierkammer. The ejection element is arranged on that side of the portioning plate which faces away from the pressing chamber. In addition, the ejection element is provided at the position where the separated slices are deposited on a conveyor or in a container. The ejection element aids in the process of detaching a severed slice from a portioning chamber. In addition, on the side facing away from the ejection element of the portioning plate, a mold or trough is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers. By the ejection element, a separated slices from a portioning chamber is pressed into the mold. While the portioning plate is moved to cut off another portion of one piece and to deliver another separated disc, the held in the form of disc remains in position and can optionally be further processed. It can be exploited that the portion is fixed in the mold. This is for the further processing of the portion of advantage, since the portion of the tools or tools used for processing can not escape in the form. In the form, for example, the portion can be cut and / or provided with further ingredients.
An der Portionierplatte ist ein Ausstoßelement angeordnet, welches eine oder mehrere abgetrennte Portionen aus der Portionierkammer ausstößt. Es handelt sich hierbei beispielsweise um einen Stempel, der von einer Seite in die Portionierkammer einfährt und die Portionen aus der Portionierkammer verdrängt. Dadurch wird der Vorgang des Auswerfens einer oder mehrerer Portionen aus der Portionierkammer beschleunigt.On the portioning plate, an ejection element is arranged which ejects one or more separated portions from the portioning chamber. This is, for example, a stamp that enters the portioning chamber from one side and displaces the portions from the portioning chamber. This speeds up the process of ejecting one or more portions from the portioning chamber.
An der dem Ausstoßelement abgewandten Seite der Portionierplatte ist eine Form angeordnet, deren Querschnitt mit dem Querschnitt der Portionierkammern übereinstimmt. Das Ausstoßelement sorgt dafür, dass die abgetrennte Portion in der durch die Portionierkammer vorgegebenen Form an eine zusätzliche Form übergeben wird. In dieser Form kann die weitere Be- oder Verarbeitung der Portion erfolgen. So kann die Form beispielsweise mit mehreren Klingen zum Schneiden von Würfeln oder Streifen ausgestattet sein. Die Portion wird damit während des Ausstoßens aus der Portionierkammer in weitere kleine Abschnitte aufgeteilt. Dies erfolgt in einem Arbeitsgang, ohne dass zusätzliche Stationen notwendig sind. Ferner kann während der weiteren Ver- und Bearbeitung der Portion der Portioniervorgang fortgesetzt werden.On the side facing away from the ejection element of the portioning plate, a mold is arranged whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the portioning chambers. The ejection element ensures that the separated portion is transferred in the form predetermined by the Portionierkammer to an additional form. In this form, the further processing or processing of the portion can be done. For example, the mold may be equipped with a plurality of blades for cutting cubes or strips. The portion is thus divided during ejection from the portioning chamber into further small sections. This is done in a single operation without the need for additional stations. Furthermore, during the further processing and processing of the portion, the portioning process can be continued.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind in oder an der Form Schneidwerkzeuge wie beispielsweise Messer, Schneiden oder Klingen angeordnet um die in der Form angeordnete Portion in Streifen oder Würfel zu schneiden oder eine eingeschnittene Tasche zu erzeugen. In derartige Taschen können Zutaten in die Portion gefüllt werden, beispielsweise bei einem Schnitzel Cordon bleu Käse und Schinken. Die Schneidwerkzeuge können entweder fest oder beweglich in oder an der Form angeordnet sein. Zum Schneiden ist eine Relativbewegung zwischen der zu schneidenden Portion und dem Schneidwerkzeug notwendig. Ist das Schneidwerkzeug ortfest in oder an der Form angeordnet, erfolgt das Schneiden beim Einführen der Portion in die Form und/ oder beim Herausnehmen der Portion aus der Form. Ist das Schneidwerkzeug beweglich an der Form angeordnet, kann das Schneiden auch während des Aufenthaltes der Portion in der Form erfolgen. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Form mit einer Führung für das bewegliche Schneidwerkzeug ausgestattet. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Schlitz in der Form handeln.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention cutting tools such as knives, blades or blades are arranged in or on the form to cut the portion arranged in the form in strips or cubes or to produce an incised pocket. In such bags Ingredients can be filled into the portion, for example, with a schnitzel cordon bleu cheese and ham. The cutting tools can either be fixed or movable in or on the mold. For cutting a relative movement between the portion to be cut and the cutting tool is necessary. If the cutting tool is stationarily arranged in or on the mold, the cutting takes place when the portion is introduced into the mold and / or when the portion is removed from the mold. If the cutting tool is arranged movably on the mold, the cutting can also take place during the stay of the portion in the mold. Advantageously, the mold is equipped with a guide for the movable cutting tool. This may, for example, be a slot in the mold.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Form in räumlicher Distanz zu der Presseinheit angeordnet. Sie behindert damit den Vorgang des Portionierens und Schneidens der einzelnen Portionen nicht. Das Ablegen der abgetrennten Portionen in der Form und gegebenenfalls die weitere Bearbeitung der Portion in der Form erfolgt erst, wenn der Schneidvorgang abgeschlossen ist. Zeitgleich zum Ablegen einer Portion in der Form kann an der Presseinheit eine weitere Portion von dem Stück abgeschnitten werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the mold is arranged in spatial distance from the pressing unit. It does not hinder the process of portioning and slicing the individual portions. The deposition of the separated portions in the mold and optionally the further processing of the portion in the mold takes place only when the cutting operation is completed. At the same time as depositing a portion in the mold, another portion of the piece can be cut off at the press unit.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Kammerboden zur Einstellung der Tiefe der Portionierkammer verschiebbar angeordnet. Auf diese Weise können Portionen unterschiedlicher Dicke hergestellt werden. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, mehrere Portionen in der Portionierkammer zu sammeln, bevor diese gemeinsam aus der Portionierkammer ausgeworfen werden. In diesem Fall verbleibt nach dem Abtrennen eine Portion in der Portionierkammer und der Kammerboden wird derart verschoben, dass eine weitere Portion in der Portionierkammer Platz findet. Diese Schritte können mehrfach wiederholt werden, bis die gesamte vorgegebene Tiefe der Portionierkammer ausgeschöpft ist und der Kammerboden in einer Endstellung angelangt ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the chamber bottom to adjust the depth of the portioning chamber is arranged displaceably. In this way, portions of different thickness can be produced. In addition, it is possible to collect several portions in the portioning chamber before they are ejected together from the portioning chamber. In this case, after separation, a portion remains in the portioning chamber and the bottom of the chamber is displaced such that there is room for another portion in the portioning chamber. These steps can be repeated several times until the entire predetermined depth of the Portionierkammer has been exhausted and the chamber bottom has reached an end position.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an der Portionierplatte auf der der Presseinheit abgewandten Seite ein Sammelbehälter zum Sammeln mehrerer Portionen angeordnet. Der Querschnitt des Sammelbehälters stimmt mit dem Querschnitt der Portionierkammern überein. Der Kammerboden der Portionierkammer ist in dem Sammelbehälter verschiebbar. Dies ermöglicht das Abschneiden mehrerer Portionen und Sammeln der Portionen, bevor diese aus der Portionierkammer ausgeworfen werden. In bevorzugter Weise ist der Sammelbehälter zusammen mit der Portionierplatte bewegbar, so dass beide Teile gemeinsam in eine Auswurfposition überführt werden können, während der Portioniervorgang mit einer anderen Portionierkammer der Portionierplatte fortgesetzt wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a collecting container for collecting a plurality of portions is arranged on the portioning plate on the side facing away from the pressing unit. The cross-section of the collecting container coincides with the cross section of the Portionierkammern. The chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is displaceable in the collecting container. This allows the cutting of several portions and collection of the portions before they are ejected from the portioning chamber. Preferably, the collection container is movable together with the portioning plate, so that both parts can be transferred together to an ejection position, while the portioning process is continued with another portioning chamber of the portioning plate.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Kammerboden der Portionierkammer mit Kanälen zum Ansaugen und/ oder Ausstoßen von Luft oder sonstiger Gase ausgestattet. Die Vorrichtung weist Stifte auf, deren Querschnitt mit dem Querschnitt der Kanäle übereinstimmt oder geringfügig kleiner ist. Ferner ist ein Stiftantrieb vorgesehen, der die Stifte bei einer bestimmten Stellung der Portionierplatte in die Kanäle einfährt und die Kanäle dabei von Verunreinigungen befreit. Eine derartige Reinigung kann automatisch nach einer vorgegebenen Anzahl von Portionen oder bei Bedarf durchgeführt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is equipped with channels for sucking and / or expelling air or other gases. The device has pins whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the channels or is slightly smaller. Further, a pin drive is provided which retracts the pins in a certain position of the portioning plate in the channels and thereby freed the channels of impurities. Such cleaning may be performed automatically after a predetermined number of servings or as needed.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Presseinheit vertikal ausgerichtet. Dabei verlaufen die Presskammern in ihrer Längsrichtung in vertikaler Richtung. Der Pressstempel ist an der Unterseite der Presseinheit angeordnet. Das Schneidelement befindet sich an der Oberseite der Presseinheit. Die Portionierplatte ist oberhalb des Schneidelements angeordnet. Diese Anordnung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Presskammern bequem von oben mit einem Stück Lebensmittel befüllt werden können. Die von oben zugängliche Öffnung der Presskammer befindet sich in einer für den Benutzer angenehmen Höhe. Der Vorschub durch den Pressstempel erfolgt von unten nach oben. Die von dem Stück abgetrennten Portionen werden auf dem Messer liegend zusammen mit der Portionierkammer in eine Auswurfposition überführt. Bei der weiteren Rotationsbewegung des Schneidelements wird die Portionierkammer nach unten freigegeben. Durch ein von oben ansetzendes Ausstoßelement wird die abgetrennte Portion nach unten gedrückt und fällt auf eine Förder- oder Transporteinrichtung oder einen Behälter, in dem die abgetrennten Portionen gesammelt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pressing unit is vertically aligned. The pressing chambers extend in their longitudinal direction in the vertical direction. The press ram is arranged on the underside of the press unit. The cutting element is located at the top of the pressing unit. The portioning plate is arranged above the cutting element. This arrangement is characterized in that the press chambers can be conveniently filled from the top with a piece of food. The opening of the pressing chamber, accessible from above, is at a comfortable height for the user. The feed through the Press stamp is from bottom to top. The portions separated from the piece are transferred on the knife together with the Portionierkammer in an ejection position. During the further rotational movement of the cutting element, the portioning chamber is released downwards. By a top-mounted ejection element, the separated portion is pressed down and falls onto a conveyor or transport device or a container in which the separated portions are collected.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind unterhalb der Portionierplatte eine oder mehrere Transporteinrichtungen angeordnet, um die abgetrennten Portionen zu übernehmen und zu transportieren. Bei einer runden Portionierplatte mit beispielsweise vier Portionierkammern sind neben der Position des eigentlichen Portioniervorgang beispielsweise drei Positionen zum Ablegen einer abgetrennten Portion möglich. Jeder dieser Positionen kann eine separate Transporteinrichtung zugeordnet werden. Auf diese Weise können Portionen in Abhängigkeit von ihrem Gewicht oder ihrer Qualität auf unterschiedlichen Transporteinrichtungen abgelegt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, one or more transport means are arranged below the Portionierplatte to take over the separated portions and to transport. In a round portioning plate with, for example, four portioning chambers, for example, three positions for depositing a separated portion are possible in addition to the position of the actual portioning process. Each of these positions can be assigned to a separate transport device. In this way, portions can be stored on different transport devices depending on their weight or quality.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Portionierplatte um eine Achse drehbar angeordnet. Sie weist ferner eine geradzahlige Anzahl an Portionierkammern auf, die alle im gleichen radialen Abstand zur Achse und im gleichen Winkelabstand zueinander in der Portionierplatte angeordnet sind. Die drehbare Anordnung der Portionierplatte hat den Vorteil, dass die Portionierplatte schneller bewegt werden kann als bei einer verschiebbaren Anordnung. Dies führt zu kürzeren Taktzeiten. Haben alle Portionierkammern in der Portionierplatte denselben radialen Abstand zur Achse, und ist die Anzahl der Portionierkammern geradzahlig, so kann das Portionieren und Schneiden und das Ablegen von abgetrennten Portionen an unterschiedlichen Transporteinrichtungen gleichzeitig erfolgen. Dadurch wird die Taktzeit der Vorrichtung erhöht.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the portioning plate is arranged rotatably about an axis. It also has an even number of Portionierkammern, which are all arranged at the same radial distance from the axis and at the same angular distance from one another in the portioning. The rotatable arrangement of the portioning plate has the advantage that the portioning plate can be moved faster than in a displaceable arrangement. This leads to shorter cycle times. If all the portioning chambers in the portioning plate have the same radial distance from the axis, and if the number of portioning chambers is even, then the portioning and cutting and depositing of separated portions at different conveying devices can take place simultaneously. This increases the cycle time of the device.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Presseinheit und die Portionierplatte um zwei parallele, räumlich getrennte Achsen drehbar. Die drehbare Anordnung sorgt dafür, dass die Bewegung der Presseinheit und der Portionierplatte schneller ablaufen kann als bei einer verschiebbaren Anordnung. Zwei räumlichen getrennte Achsen führen dazu, dass die Presseinheit und die Portionierplatte sich in ihren Bewegungen nicht gegenseitig behindern, und dass das Auswerfen oder Ablegen der abgetrennten Portionen aus den Portionierkammern der Portionierplatte in räumlicher Distanz zu der Presseinheit erfolgt und damit genügten Platz für den Transport der abgetrennten Portionen zur Verfügung steht. Parallele Achsen sind von Vorteil, da der Schnitt üblicherweise senkrecht zur Richtung des Vorschubs des Stücks in der Presskammer erfolgt und die Presskammern mit ihrer Längsachse parallel zu der Achse der Presseinheit angeordnet sind.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pressing unit and the portioning plate are rotatable about two parallel, spatially separated axes. The rotatable arrangement ensures that the movement of the pressing unit and the portioning plate can proceed faster than with a displaceable arrangement. Two spatially separated axes mean that the press unit and the portioning plate do not interfere with each other in their movements, and that the ejection or removal of the separated portions from the portioning chambers of the portioning carried out at a distance from the pressing unit and thus sufficient space for the transport of separated portions is available. Parallel axes are advantageous because the cut is usually perpendicular to the direction of advance of the piece in the press chamber and the press chambers are arranged with their longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of the press unit.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind der Pressstempel und/ oder der Kammerboden mit einem Kraftsensor ausgestattet. Über diesen Kraftsensor wird die Kraft gemessen, mit der das Stück gegen den Pressstempel drückt um umgekehrt. Entsprechendes gilt für den Kammerboden. Diese gemessene Kraft wird in die Regelung des Servoantriebs eingegeben.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pressing die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a force sensor. About this force sensor, the force is measured, with which the piece presses against the ram to vice versa. The same applies to the chamber floor. This measured force is input to the servo drive control.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind der Pressstempel und/ oder der Kammerboden mit einem Weg- oder Positionssensor ausgestattet. Während der Wegsensor einen von dem Pressstempel oder dem Kammerboden zurückgelegten Weg messen, bestimmt der Positionssensor die absolute Position des Pressstempels oder des Kammerbodens bezogen auf einen vorgegebenen Nullpunkt. Der durch den Sensor gemessene Wert wird in die Regelung des Servoantriebs eingegeben.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the press die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a displacement or position sensor. While the displacement sensor measures a distance traveled by the ram or chamber bottom, the position sensor determines the absolute position of the ram or chamber bottom relative to a predetermined zero point. The value measured by the sensor is input to the servo drive control.
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following description, the drawings and the claims.

In den
Sobald das in der ersten Presskammer 3a angeordnete Fleischstück vollständig in Portionen aufgeteilt wurde, wird die Presseinheit 1 gedreht und die mit einem Fleischstück befüllte zweite Portionierkammer 3b unter die Portionierplatte 2 bewegt. Die erste Presskammer 3a ist nun leer und kann erneut mit einem Fleischstück befüllt werden. Dies erfolgt auf dieselbe Weise wie zuvor beschrieben. Das Verschieben der Verschlusselemente 5a und 5b kann vor, während oder nach der Rotation der Presseinheit 1 erfolgen.As soon as the piece of meat arranged in the first pressing chamber 3a has been completely divided into portions, the pressing unit 1 is rotated and the second portioning chamber 3b filled with a piece of meat is moved under the portioning
Die beiden Presskammern 3a und 3b sind identisch aufgebaut.The two press chambers 3a and 3b are identical.
Zum Portionieren wird in die unterhalb der Portionierplatte 2 angeordnete Presskammer 3a oder 3b von unten ein Pressstempel 8 eingeführt. Der Pressstempel kann auch als Presskolben bezeichnet werden. Er ist in den
Das Fleischstück wird von unten durch den Pressstempel 8 in die durch den Kammerboden 10 verschlossene Portionierkammer 9 gepresst, so dass das Fleisch die gesamte Portionierkammer ausfüllt. Dabei drücken der Pressstempel 8 und der Kammerboden 10 gegeneinander. Die Portion, welche sich in der Portionierkammer 9 befindet, wird durch ein nicht dargestelltes Messer vom Fleischstück abgeschnitten. Zur Entlastung des Messers während des Schneidvorgangs können der Pressstempel 8 und/ oder der Kammerboden 10 zurückgezogen werden. Anschließend wird der Kammerboden 10 durch den Kammerboden-Antrieb 11 nach oben gezogen, so dass die Portionierplatte 2 durch den Portionierplatten-Antrieb 12 gedreht werden kann. Die Drehung erfolgt in diesem Fall um 90°, 180° oder 270°. Dies hängt von der Qualität der Portion ab. Endstücke des Fleischstücks, die ein geringeres Gewicht aufweisen als das vorgegebene Sollgewicht, können beispielsweise von den übrigen Portionen getrennt werden. Das in der Zeichnung nicht erkennbare Messer wird zusammen mit der Portionierplatte 2 gedreht, bis sich die abgetrennte Portion oberhalb der vorgesehenen Auswurfposition befindet. Anschließend wird das Messer in seine Ausgangsposition oberhalb der Presskammer zurückgeführt, um die nächste Portion abzuschneiden. Die Portionierkammer 9 ist nun nach unten offen. Mit Hilfe eines stempelartigen Ausstoßelements 13 wird die abgetrennte Portion nach unten aus der Portionierkammer 9 herausgedrückt und fällt in einen Behälter 14, der durch eine Transporteinrichtung 15 bewegt wird. Ein zweites stempelartiges Austoßstelement 16 befindet sich oberhalb einer zweiten Transporteinrichtung 17. Beide Auswurfelemente 13 und 16 sind mit Antrieben 18 und 19 ausgestattet.The piece of meat is pressed from below through the
Während eine Portion mit Hilfe eines der beiden Auswurfelemente 13 oder 16 aus einer Portionierkammer 9 ausgestoßen und in einen Behälter 14 abgelegt wird, wird in einer weiteren Portionierkammer 9 der Portionierplatte 2, welche sich oberhalb der Presskammer 3a befindet, eine Portion abgemessen und durch das Messer von dem Fleischstück abgeschnitten. Dieser Vorgang wird so oft wiederholt, bis das gesamte in der Presskammer 3a angeordnete Fleischstück in Portionen aufgeteilt ist. Anschließend wird die Presseinheit 1 gedreht, um ein weiteres Fleischstück auf dieselbe Weise in Portionen aufzuteilen.While a portion with the aid of one of the two
Beim Übergang von der Position einer Presskammer 3a oder 3b unterhalb der Portionierplatte 2 in eine Position zum Befüllen der Presskammer wird das zugehörige Verschlusselement 5a oder 5b aus dem Presskammergehäuse 4a oder 4b herausgezogen, so dass sich der Querschnitt der Presskammer wieder vergrößert und das Einlegen eines Fleischstücks erleichtert wird. Die Position und die Kraft des Verschlusselements 5a oder 5b werden nicht nur beim Einlegen eines neuen Fleischstücks, sondern auch während des Portioniervorganges kontinuierlich erfasst. Fällt die Kraft aufgrund der Form des Fleischstücks während des Portioniervorgangs ab oder steigt sie an, so kann die Position des Verschlusselements während des Portioniervorgangs angepasst werden.In the transition from the position of a pressing chamber 3a or 3b below the portioning
