Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schneidemaschine für Lebensmittel nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a food cutting machine according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Praxis sind solche Schneidemaschinen bekannt, um von einem strangförmigen Lebensmittel, wie z. B. Wurst oder Käse, Scheiben abzuschneiden.From practice, such cutting machines are known to a string-shaped food, such. As sausage or cheese, slices to cut.

So zeigt die DE 17 57 766 A eine Schneidemaschine für Lebensmittel mit einem Kettenrahmen, der die abgeschnittenen Scheiben vom Messer aufnimmt und zu einer Schneidgutablage transportiert. Dabei werden die Scheiben von einem Abschläger aus den Ketten gelöst und zu der Schneidgutablage transportiert. Aus der EP 0 216 754 ist eine Schneidemaschine gemäß des Oberbegriffs des Anspruch 1 bekannt.That's how it shows DE 17 57 766 A a food slicing machine with a chain frame which picks up the cut slices from the knife and transports them to a cutting tray. The slices are released from the chains by a stripper and transported to the cutting tray. From the EP 0 216 754 a cutting machine according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.

Für ein gutes Schneideergebnis gilt es einen Kompromiss zwischen der notwendigen Anhaftung des Schneidguts an den Ketten und der Lösekraft zu finden. Je höher die Anhaftung ist, desto schwieriger wird es das Schneidgut ohne Beschädigung aus den Ketten zu lösen. Wenn die Anhaftung zu gering ist, besteht die Gefahr dass sich das Schneidgut von alleine löst und abfällt. Besonders bei Schneidgut mit besonders großem oder besonders kleinem Durchmesser fällt das Problem auf.For a good cutting result, it is important to find a compromise between the necessary adhesion of the material to be cut to the chains and the release force. The higher the adhesion, the more difficult it is to remove the cut material from the chains without damage. If the adhesion is too low, there is a risk that the cut material will come loose and fall off by itself. Especially when cutting with particularly large or very small diameter, the problem arises.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine Schneidemaschine zu schaffen, die insbesondere für Schneidgut mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser ein gutes Schneidergebnis aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a cutting machine, in particular for cutting material with different diameter has a good cutting result.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schneidemaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a cutting machine with the features of claim 1.

Die Schneidemaschine weist einen Kettenrahmen mit parallel umlaufenden Ketten auf, deren Abstand zueinander in zumindest zwei Bereichen unterschiedlich ist. In einem ersten Bereich ist der Abstand der Ketten geringer als in einem zweiten Bereich. Die Anhaftung des Schneidguts an dem Kettenrahmen wird direkt von der Anzahl der überdeckten Ketten bestimmt. Das führt dazu, dass Schneidgut mit großem Durchmesser besser an den Ketten haftet als Schneidgut mit kleinem Durchmesser. Die bekannten Kettenrahmen mit äquidistantem Kettenabstand stellen daher ein begrenzendes Element hinsichtlich der möglichen Schneidgutdurchmesser dar.The cutting machine has a chain frame with parallel circumferential chains whose distance from each other is different in at least two areas. In a first area, the spacing of the chains is less than in a second area. The adhesion of the material to the chain frame is directly determined by the number of covered chains. As a result, sliced items with a larger diameter adhere better to the chains than slices with a smaller diameter. The known chain frame with equidistant chain spacing therefore represent a limiting element in terms of the possible Schneidgutdurchmesser.

Um diesen Nachteil zu überwinden wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Kettenrahmen in einem ersten Bereich, der zur Aufnahme von Schneidgut mit kleinem Durchmesser vorgesehen ist, einen geringeren Kettenabstand aufweist als in einem zweiten Bereich, der nur von Schneidgut mit großem Durchmesser überdeckt wird. Der erste Bereich ist dabei vorteilhafterweise auf Höhe der Schneidgutauflage angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist oberhalb des ersten Bereichs mit geringem Kettenabstand ein zweiter Bereich mit größerem Kettenabstand angeordnet. Zwischen den Kettenabständen können auch fließende Übergänge vorgesehen sein, so dass die Abstände der Ketten zueinander von dem ersten Bereich hin zu dem zweiten Bereich immer größer werden.To overcome this disadvantage, it is proposed that the chain frame in a first region, which is provided for receiving small-diameter cutting material, have a smaller chain spacing than in a second region, which is only covered by large-diameter cutting material. The first region is advantageously arranged at the height of the item to be cut. Preferably, a second region with a larger chain spacing is arranged above the first region with a small chain spacing. Between the chain intervals, smooth transitions may be provided, so that the Distances of the chains to each other from the first area to the second area are getting bigger.

Die Anzahl der Ketten in den beiden Bereichen kann variieren. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass in der Praxis eine Anzahl von jeweils zwei bis vier parallel laufende Ketten ideal sind.The number of chains in the two areas can vary. It has been found that in practice a number of two to four parallel chains are ideal.

In einer Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, die Höhe der Schneidgutauflage zu variieren um einen Möglichst großen Bereich von unterschiedlichem Schneidgut abzudecken. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Abstand der Ketten zueinander ebenfalls verstellbar ist. So kann der erste Bereich immer so eingestellt werden, dass er sich auf Höhe der Schneidgutauflage befindet. Dies kann in einer Ausführung dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Kettenrahmen synchron zu der Schneidgutauflage in der Höhe verfahrbar ist. Insbesondere kann der Kettenrahmen mit einer Höhenverstellung der Schneidgutauflage gekoppelt sein, so dass die Schneidgutauflage und der Kettenrahmen gemeinsam in der Höhe verstellt werden. Besonders bedienerfreundlich ist in einer anderen Ausführung, wenn die Höhenverstellung der Schneidgutauflage mit einer Verstellung des Kettenabstandes gekoppelt ist. Dabei wird die Höhe des Kettenrahmens gleich belassen und stattdessen wird der Abstand der Ketten zueinander verstellt. In beiden Ausführungen kann die Verstellung komfortabel in nur einem Arbeitsschritt erfolgen. Für eine besonders komfortable Bedienung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Höhenverstellung der Schneidgutauflage und/oder des Kettenrahmens und/oder des Kettenabstandes motorisch angetrieben erfolgt.In one embodiment, it may be provided to vary the height of the item to be cut material in order to cover as large a range as possible of different items to be cut. According to the invention it is provided that the distance between the chains is also adjustable relative to one another. Thus, the first area can always be set so that it is at the level of the cutting material support. This can be achieved in one embodiment in that the chain frame is movable in height synchronously to the cutlery support. In particular, the chain frame can be coupled with a height adjustment of the cut object support, so that the cut object support and the chain frame are adjusted together in height. Especially user-friendly is in another version, when the height adjustment of Schneidgutauflage is coupled with an adjustment of the chain spacing. The height of the chain frame is left the same and instead the distance of the chains is adjusted to each other. In both versions, the adjustment can be done comfortably in just one step. For a particularly comfortable operation can be provided that the height adjustment of Schneidgutauflage and / or the chain frame and / or the chain spacing is motor-driven.

Eine Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Schneidemaschine ist im Einzelhandel zum Schneiden von Lebensmittel wie Wurst, Fleisch oder Käse im Frischeverkauf vorgesehen. Jedoch kann die Schneidemaschine auch zum Schneiden von Fisch oder Gemüse oder in der Lebensmittelherstellung verwendet werdenAn application of the cutting machine according to the invention is provided in retail for cutting food such as sausage, meat or cheese in fresh sales. However, the cutting machine can also be used for cutting fish or vegetables or in food production

Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Figuren dargestellt und der dazugehörenden Beschreibung beschrieben.Further embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the figures and the associated description.

FIG. 1:
a schematic sectional view of a cutting machine
FIG. 2:
An enlarged view of the chain links

In der Figur 1 ist schematisch der Aufbau einer Schneidemaschine 1 dargestellt. In den Figuren ist als Beispiel ein sogenannter Vertikalschneider gezeigt. Das bedeutet, die Schneidemaschine 1 weist ein angetriebenes Schneidmesser 3 auf, welches in einer vertikalen Schneidebene rotiert. Alternativ dazu kann die Erfindung selbstverständlich auch bei einem Schrägschneider verwendet werden.In the FIG. 1 schematically the structure of a cutting machine 1 is shown. In the figures, a so-called vertical cutter is shown as an example. That is, the cutting machine 1 has a driven cutting blade 3 which rotates in a vertical cutting plane. Alternatively, the invention can of course also be used in a diagonal cutter.

Über eine verstellbare Anschlagplatte, die in einer Schneidebene parallel zum Schneidmesser 3 angeordnet ist, wird ein Schneidspalt eingestellt. Die Breite des Schneidspaltes bestimmt die Dicke der von einem Lebensmittelstrang abgeschnittenen Scheiben. Die abgeschnittenen Scheiben werden von einem Kettenrahmen 4 aufgenommen und aus dem Schneidebereich abtransportiert. Über einen Abschläger 5 werden die Scheiben von dem Kettenrahmen abgelöst und auf eine Ablagefläche 6 abgelegt. Von dort können die Scheiben anschließend entnommen bzw. abtransportiert werden.Via an adjustable stop plate, which is arranged in a cutting plane parallel to the cutting blade 3, a cutting gap is set. The width of the cutting gap determines the thickness of the discs cut from a food strand. The Cut slices are picked up by a chain frame 4 and transported away from the cutting area. About a slicer 5, the discs are detached from the chain frame and placed on a shelf 6. From there, the discs can then be removed or removed.

Zu schneidende Lebensmittel werden zum Schneiden auf einen Schlitten 2 aufgelegt und von diesem geführt. Der Schlitten 2 ist parallel zu dem Schneidmesser 3 verschiebbar angeordnet. Der Schlitten 2 weist einen Schlittenfuß 22 auf, der die Schneidgutauflage 21 trägt und mit dem Maschinengehäuse 11 verbindet. Das Maschinengehäuse 11 nimmt die Antriebsmotoren uns Steuergeräte der Schneidemaschine 1 auf. Nach unten ist das Maschinengehäuse 11 über eine Grundplatte 12 abgeschlossen. Der Schlitten 2 wird zum Schneiden entweder manuell oder motorisch angetrieben, wobei je Schnitt ein Hub ausgeführt wird. An seiner Vorderseite, d. h. an der einem Bediener zugewandten Seite, weist der Schlitten 2 eine Handschutzplatte 23 auf, die den Schlitten 2 nach vorne abdeckt. Die Handschutzplatte verhindert, dass ein Bediener unbeabsichtigt mit seiner Hand in den Schneidebereich des Messers 3 gelangt. Über eine Höhenverstellung 24 kann die Höhe des Schlittens 2 und damit die Höhe der Schneidgutauflage 21 variiert werden.Foods to be cut are placed on a carriage 2 for cutting and guided by it. The carriage 2 is arranged displaceably parallel to the cutting blade 3. The carriage 2 has a Schlittenfuß 22 which carries the Schneidgutauflage 21 and connects to the machine housing 11. The machine housing 11 accommodates the drive motors and control units of the cutting machine 1. Down the machine housing 11 is closed by a base plate 12. The carriage 2 is driven for cutting either manually or by motor, wherein each cut a stroke is performed. At its front, d. H. on the side facing an operator, the carriage 2 has a hand protection plate 23, which covers the carriage 2 to the front. The handguard prevents an operator from inadvertently getting his hand into the cutting area of the knife 3. About a height adjustment 24, the height of the carriage 2 and thus the height of the Schneidgutauflage 21 can be varied.

Die abgetrennten Scheiben des Lebensmittelstrangs werden hinter dem Schneidmesser 3 von dem Kettenrahmen 4 aufgenommen und automatisch abtransportiert. Der Kettenrahmen 4 weist zum Transport von abgetrennten Scheiben mehrere parallel umlaufende Ketten 41 auf. Die Ketten 41 werden über seitlich angeordnete Walzen 42a, 42b umlaufend geführt. Auf den Ketten 41 sind Spitzen 45 angeordnet, die in die abgetrennten Scheiben einstechen und so für einen zuverlässigen Halt der Scheiben an den Ketten 41 sorgen.The separated slices of food strand are received behind the cutting blade 3 of the chain frame 4 and transported away automatically. The chain frame 4 has a plurality of parallel rotating chains 41 for transporting separated slices. The chains 41 are guided circumferentially about laterally arranged rollers 42a, 42b. Arranged on the chains 41 are tips 45 which pierce the cut-off discs and thus ensure a reliable hold of the discs on the chains 41.

In der Figur 2 sind Abschnitte der Ketten 41 vergrößert dargestellt. Die Ketten 41 weisen zum Halten von Scheiben mehrere, miteinander verbundene Kettenglieder 42 mit Drahtspitzen 45 auf, auf die Lebensmittelscheiben aufgespießt werden. Die Kettenglieder sind aus miteinander verbundenem Drahtgeflecht geformt und weisen jeweils eine Öse 43 auf, mittels derer ein benachbartes Kettenglied gehaltert wird. Ein U-förmiges Mittenteil 44 greift in die Öse 44 des jeweils benachbarten Kettengliedes ein und verbindet so die einzelnen Kettenglieder zu einer geschlossenen Kette. Die Enden der Kettenglieder formen die Öse 44 aus und weisen einstückig angeformte Spitzen 45 mit einem abgeschrägten Ende 46 auf. Aufgrund des abgeschrägten Endstücks können die Spitzen 45 besser in die abgetrennten Scheiben eindringen und somit besser halten.In the FIG. 2 portions of the chains 41 are shown enlarged. The chains 41 have, for holding discs, a plurality of interconnected chain links 42 with wire tips 45 on which food slices are impaled. The chain links are formed from interconnected wire mesh and each have an eyelet 43 by means of which an adjacent chain link is held. A U-shaped center part 44 engages in the eyelet 44 of the respective adjacent chain link, thus connecting the individual chain links to form a closed chain. The ends of the chain links form the eyelet 44 and have integrally molded tips 45 with a bevelled end 46. Due to the beveled tail, the tips 45 can penetrate better into the separated discs and thus better hold.

Das Ablegen der Scheiben erfolgt mittels eines automatisch angetriebenen Abschlägers 5, der um eine horizontal verlaufende Drehachse 51 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Der Abschläger 5 weist mehrere beabstandete Finger 52 auf, die zwischen die umlaufenden Ketten 41 des Transportkettenrahmens 3 eingreifen und die Scheiben auf einer Ablagefläche 43 ablegen. Zum Ablegen der Scheiben schwenkt der Abschläger 41 um die horizontale Drehachse 51. Dabei löst er zuerst die auf den Kettenspitzen 45 festsitzenden Scheiben und nimmt diese in seiner Schwenkbewegung mit und transportiert diese bis hin zu der Ablagefläche 6.The disc is deposited by means of an automatically driven Abschlägers 5, which is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis of rotation 51. The Abschläger 5 has a plurality of spaced fingers 52 which engage between the circulating chains 41 of the transport chain frame 3 and deposit the discs on a shelf 43. To deposit the discs of the Abschläger 41 pivots about the horizontal axis of rotation 51. He first solves the stuck on the chain tips 45 discs and takes them in his Swivel movement with and transported them up to the storage area. 6

Der Kettenrahmen 4 weist zwei Bereiche A und B auf. In dem Bereich A weisen die einzelnen Ketten 41 einen geringeren Abstand zueinander auf, als in dem Bereich B. Der geringere Abstand der Ketten 41 im Bereich A bewirkt, dass pro Flächeneinheit mehr Kettenspitzen 45 die Scheiben durchdringen und die Scheibe dadurch besser haftet. Vor allem bei Schneidgut mit kleinem Durchmesser führt dies zu einem besseren Schneidergebnis, da die abgetrennten Scheiben besser und sicherer aus dem Schneidebereich abtransportiert werden können.The chain frame 4 has two areas A and B. In the region A, the individual chains 41 have a smaller distance from one another than in the region B. The smaller spacing of the chains 41 in region A causes more chain tips 45 to penetrate the disks per unit area and thus better adhere the disk. Especially for sliced products with a small diameter, this leads to a better cutting result, since the separated slices can be transported away from the cutting area better and safer.

Für Schneidgut mit größerem Durchmesser würde ein so geringer Kettenabstand jedoch eine zu hohe Haftung bedeuten, so dass die Auslösekraft für den Abschläger 5 sehr hoch würde und außerdem die Gefahr der Beschädigung des Schneidgutes bestehen würde. Daher ist der Abstand der Ketten 41 zueinander in dem zweiten Bereich B größer gewählt.However, for cutting material with a larger diameter such a small chain spacing would mean too high a liability, so that the triggering force for the Abschläger 5 would be very high and also the risk of damage to the material to be cut would exist. Therefore, the distance of the chains 41 to each other in the second area B is made larger.

Auf den seitlich angeordneten Walzen 42a, 42b sind Umlenkräder 47 gehaltert, über die die Ketten 41 umlaufend geführt sind. Zumindest zwei der Umlenkräder 47a und 47 b sind axial verschiebbar auf den Walzen 42a, 42b gehaltert, und können durch Lösen und anschließendes Fixieren einer Verschraubung oder Verrastung axial entlang der Walzen 42a bzw. 42b verschoben werden. Das Verstellen ist in der Figur 2 durch einen Verschiebepfeil angedeutet und kann in dem gesamten Bereich des durch die Finger 52 des Abschlägers begrenzten Zwischenraums erfolgen. Durch das Verschieben der Umlenkräder 47a und 47b kann der Abstand der Ketten 41 zueinander eingestellt werden und damit die Lage des Bereichs A entsprechend der Höhe der Schneidgutauflage angepasst werden. Vor allem bei einer höhenverstellbaren Schneidgutauflage 21 ist es im Sinne eines guten Schneidergebnisses wichtig, dass der Bereich A auf einer Höhe mit der Schneidgutauflage 21 angeordnet ist, um Schneidgut mit unterschiedlich großem Durchmesser sicher zu transportieren.On the laterally arranged rollers 42a, 42b guide wheels 47 are supported, over which the chains 41 are guided circumferentially. At least two of the deflection wheels 47a and 47b are mounted axially displaceably on the rollers 42a, 42b, and can be displaced axially by means of loosening and subsequent fixing of a screw connection or latching along the rollers 42a or 42b. The adjustment is in the FIG. 2 indicated by a sliding arrow and can be used in the entire area of the by the fingers 52 of the Abschlägers limited space done. By moving the guide wheels 47a and 47b, the distance of the chains 41 can be adjusted to each other and thus the position of the region A can be adjusted according to the height of the cutting material support. Above all, in the case of a height-adjustable cutting material support 21, it is important in the sense of a good cutting result that the region A is arranged at a height with the cutting material support 21 in order to safely transport cutting material with different diameters.
