Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Formscheibe zum Verarbeiten von Lebensmittelprodukten nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Schneidvorrichtung mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe.The invention relates to a molding disk for processing food products according to the preamble of claim 1 and a cutting device with a shaping disk according to the invention.

Aus der Fleischindustrie sind Formscheiben bekannt, die zum Herstellen von gehackten Lebensmitteln, insbesondere Hackfleisch, verwendet werden. Die Formscheiben weisen hierzu eine Vielzahl von Durchgangslöchern auf, durch welche die Lebensmittel hindurchgedrückt werden. Benachbart zu der Formscheibe befindet sich ein rotierendes Messer, das die Lebensmittel zerkleinert und hierzu mit den Durchgangslöchern zusammenwirkt.Molds are known from the meat industry, which are used for the production of chopped foods, especially minced meat. For this purpose, the shaping disks have a multiplicity of through-holes through which the foodstuffs are pressed. Adjacent to the mold disc is a rotating knife that minces the food and interacts with the through holes.

Das Patent RU 2 184 613 T2 zeigt eine runde Lochscheibe zum Wolfen mit einer Vielzahl von Durchgangslöchern, die über die gesamte Formscheibenfläche in konzentrischer Anordnung angeordnet sind. Darüber hinaus verfügt die Formscheibe zwei Sacklöcher zum Zwischenspeichern der zu verarbeitenden Fleischmasse.The patent RU 2 184 613 T2 shows a round perforated disc for grinding with a plurality of through holes, which are arranged over the entire disc surface in concentric arrangement. In addition, the form disc has two blind holes for temporarily storing the meat mass to be processed.

In DE 201 01 396 U1 ist eine Wolfscheibe offenbart, bei der eine Vielzahl von Löchern auf einer Stirnfläche der Wolfscheibe ausschließlich innerhalb eines Lochteilbereichs auf der Scheibenfläche angeordnet sind.In DE 201 01 396 U1 a wolf disk is disclosed in which a plurality of holes are arranged on an end face of the wolf disk exclusively within a hole portion on the disk surface.

Das Einsatzgebiet der Formscheibe unterscheidet sich von demjenigen der Lochscheibe zum Wolfen dadurch, dass das geförderte Produkt nur noch portioniert, geformt und ggf. homogenisiert wird, nicht aber zerkleinert. Zudem sind die "Zerkleinerungslöcher" bei Wolfscheiben in der Regel über die gesamte Fläche der Scheibe verteilt.The field of application of the shaping disk differs from that of the perforated disk for grinding in that the conveyed product is only portioned, shaped and possibly homogenized, but not comminuted. In addition, the "comminution holes" in wolf disks are generally distributed over the entire surface of the disk.

Beide Wolfscheiben haben den Nachteil, dass ein drauf rotierendes Messer außerhalb der Löcher vollständig auf der Scheibenfläche aufliegt. Dies führt zur Reibung des Messers an der Formscheibe und dadurch zum Verschleiß. Das Messer stumpft schneller ab und muss öfters nachgeschliffen werden.Both wolf disks have the disadvantage that a rotating blade rests completely outside the holes on the disk surface. This leads to friction of the blade on the disc and thereby to wear. The knife blunts faster and must be reground more often.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Formscheibe aufzuzeigen, mittels derer der Verschleiß eines mit dieser Formscheibe zusammenwirkenden Schneideinrichtung verringerbar ist.The object of the invention is therefore to show a molding disc, by means of which the wear of a cooperating with this mold disc cutting device can be reduced.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mittels einer Formscheibe der eingangs genannten Art, bei der eine Vertiefung außermittig in der Seitenfläche ausgebildet ist.The object is achieved by means of a form of the type mentioned, in which a recess is formed off-center in the side surface.

Die erfindungsgemäße Formscheibe verringert vorteilhafterweise die Reibung zwischen einer Schneideinrichtung und der Formscheibe im Bereich der Vertiefung. Eine Schneideinrichtung ist im Bereich der Vertiefung berührungsfrei an der Seitenfläche bewegbar. Die Vertiefung verläuft entlang der Bewegungsbahn einer Schneideinrichtung. Die Vertiefung nimmt einen Teilbereich auf der Seitenfläche der Formscheibe ein, der sich nicht mit dem Mittelpunkt der Formscheibe überschneidet.The shaping disk according to the invention advantageously reduces the friction between a cutting device and the shaping disk in the region of the depression. A cutting device is movable without contact on the side surface in the region of the depression. The recess runs along the path of movement of a cutting device. The recess occupies a portion on the side surface of the molding disk that does not intersect with the center of the molding disk.

Vorteilhaft ist dabei eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe, bei der die Vertiefung länglich ausgebildet ist. Die Vertiefung weist in dieser Ausführungsform unterschiedlich lange Seitenlängen auf. Die längliche Form der Vertiefung ermöglicht eine besonders gute Anpassbarkeit der Vertiefung an die Bewegungsbahn der Schneide einer Schneideinrichtung. Eine länglich ausgebildete Vertiefung ist in der Formgebung besonders variabel und ermöglicht einen möglichst großen Bereich der Seitenfläche als eine Vertiefung auszubilden.An embodiment of the shaped disk according to the invention, in which the recess is elongate, is advantageous. The recess has different lengths side lengths in this embodiment. The elongated shape of the recess allows a particularly good adaptability of the depression to the path of movement of the cutting edge of a cutting device. An elongated recess is particularly variable in shape and allows the largest possible area of the side surface to form as a depression.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe, bei welcher die Formscheibe kreisförmig und die Vertiefung kreisbogenförmig ausgebildet ist. Bei kreisförmigen Formscheiben erreicht die kreisbogenförmige Vertiefung eine besonders gute Anpassbarkeit der Vertiefung zum Verringern der Reibfläche zwischen der Formscheibe und einer rotierenden Schneideinrichtung.Particularly preferred is an embodiment of the shape of the disc according to the invention, in which the shape of disc is circular and the depression is circular arc-shaped. In the case of circular shaping disks, the circular-arc-shaped recess achieves a particularly good adaptability of the depression for reducing the friction surface between the shaping disk and a rotating cutting device.

Eine weiterbildende vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Vertiefung konzentrisch zur Formscheibe angeordnet ist. Es wird hierdurch erreicht, dass stets ein gleichbleibender Bereich einer um die Mittelachse der Formscheibe rotierenden Schneideinrichtung an der Seitenfläche der Formscheibe berührungsarm bewegbar ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the shaping disk according to the invention is characterized in that the recess is arranged concentrically to the molding disk. It is thereby achieved that always a constant range of a rotating about the central axis of the molding disk cutting device on the side surface of the molding disc is movable without contact.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe ist mit einer Vertiefung ausgebildet, die zu dem die Löcher aufweisenden Teilbereich benachbart ist, und erreicht auf diese Weise, die Reibungsflächen einer Schneideinrichtung im Bereich zwischen der Vertiefung und dem Teilbereich zu minimieren. Der Abstand zwischen der Vertiefung und dem Teilbereich ist nach dieser Ausführungsform möglichst klein bemessen.A further embodiment of the shaping disk according to the invention is formed with a depression which is adjacent to the partial region having the holes, and in this way achieves minimizing the friction surfaces of a cutting device in the region between the depression and the partial region. The distance between the recess and the portion is dimensioned as small as possible according to this embodiment.

Vorteilhaft ist auch eine erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform der Formscheibe, bei der die Breite des Teilbereichs kleiner oder gleich der Breite der Vertiefung ist. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass ein schneidwirksamer Teil bzw. Abschnitt einer Schneideinrichtung, der mit den Löchern in dem Teilbereich zum Verarbeiten der Lebensmittelprodukte zusammenwirkt, im Bereich der Vertiefung keinem Verschließ unterliegt.Also advantageous is an embodiment according to the invention of the shaping disk, in which the width of the subregion is smaller than or equal to the width of the depression. In this way, it is ensured that a cutting-effective part or section of a cutting device, which cooperates with the holes in the subarea for processing the food products, is not subject to closure in the region of the depression.

Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, die erfindungsgemäße Formscheibe so auszuführen, dass mindestens ein zu dem Teilbereich benachbarter Flächenabschnitt der Vertiefung als stufenlose Übergangsfläche zur Seitenfläche ausgebildet ist. Diese Übergangsfläche verhindert einen abrupten Übergang zwischen der Vertiefung und der Seitenfläche der Formscheibe. Ein Aufschlagen einer Schneideinrichtung auf eine Kante der Vertiefung wird auf diese Weise weitestgehend verhindert.It is furthermore preferred to design the shaping disk according to the invention in such a way that at least one surface section of the recess adjacent to the subregion is designed as a stepless transition surface to the side surface. This transition surface prevents an abrupt transition between the recess and the side surface of the mold disc. A striking of a cutting device on an edge of the recess is largely prevented in this way.

Vorteilhaft ist auch eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe, bei der die Seitenfläche am Randbereich keine Vertiefung aufweist und auf diese Weise einer Schneideinrichtung eine Auflagefläche bietet. Dieser Randbereich ist üblicherweise so dimensioniert, dass nur ein nicht schneidwirksamer Teil einer Schneideinrichtung darauf aufliegt.Also advantageous is an embodiment of the shaping disk according to the invention, in which the side surface has no recess at the edge region and in this way offers a bearing surface to a cutting device. This edge region is usually dimensioned so that only a non-cutting effective part of a cutting device rests on it.

Auch ist es vorteilhaft , wenn der die Löcher aufweisende Teilbereich im Wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig ist. Auf diese Weise ist die Formscheibe für eine rotierende Schneideinrichtung besonders verschleißschonend auslegbar.It is also advantageous if the portion having the holes is substantially circular arc-shaped. In this way, the shape of the disc for a rotating cutter particularly wear friendly interpretable.

Vorteilhaft ist auch eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe, bei dem die Löcher in mehreren benachbarten Gruppen innerhalb des Teilabschnitts angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise ist eine variable Gestaltung des Teilbereichs möglich. Ferner sind unterschiedliche Portionierungen der Lebensmittelprodukte erreichbar.Also advantageous is an embodiment of the shaping disk according to the invention, in which the holes are arranged in several adjacent groups within the subsection. In this way, a variable design of the subarea is possible. Furthermore, different portions of food products can be achieved.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Formscheibe ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Verhältnis zwischen dem Radius der Formscheibe und der Breite der Vertiefung in radialer Richtung im Bereich von 1,25:1 - 2,75:1 und bevorzugt in einem Bereich von 1,75:1 zu 2,5:1 liegt.

The embodiment allows a particularly advantageous dimensioning of the recess and the bearing surfaces for a cutting device.

Die Schneidvorrichtung nach dem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung erlaubt aufgrund des geringeren Verschleißes der Schneideinrichtung an der Formscheibe eine Erhöhung der Lebensdauer und geringere Wartungskosten für die Schneideinrichtung. Die Schneideinrichtung ist vorzugsweise rotierbar. Denkbar wären auch Schneideinrichtungen, die entlang nicht kreisförmiger Bewegungsbahnen bewegbar sind, z.

Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Formscheibe 1. Die Formscheibe weist eine Vielzahl von Löchern in Form von Durchgangslöchern 40 zum Verarbeiten von Lebensmittelprodukten auf, die in einen Teilbereich 41 einer axialen Seitenfläche 2 der Formscheibe 1 münden. In der axialen Seitenfläche 2 ist eine Vertiefung 10 außermittig ausgebildet. Der Teilbereich 41 nimmt nur einen Bruchteil der gesamten Scheibenfläche ein, vorzugsweise weniger als die Hälfte, besonders bevorzugt weniger als ein Drittel der gesamten Fläche. Der Teilbereich 41 ist radial im Wesentlichen auf der gleichen Höhe wie die Vertiefung 10 angeordnet. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the molding disk 1. The molding disk has a plurality of holes in the form of through holes 40 for processing food products, which open into a portion 41 of an axial side surface 2 of the mold disc 1. In the axial side surface 2, a recess 10 is formed off-center. The portion 41 occupies only a fraction of the total disk surface, preferably less than half, more preferably less than one third of the total area. The portion 41 is disposed radially substantially at the same height as the recess 10.

Die Formscheibe 1 ist kreisförmig ausgebildet. Sie ist vorzugsweise aus einem metallischen Material, z. B. Edelstahl, gefertigt. Denkbar wären auch rechteckige, polygonale, ellipsenförmige oder andere Grundformen der Formscheibe. Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, weist die Formscheibe 1 eine Lagerungseinrichtung 42 auf. Die Lagerungseinrichtung 42 ist in Form einer Sacklochbohrung 42 ausgebildet. Die axiale Seitenfläche 2 der Formscheibe 1 fungiert als Eintrittsseitenfläche für die zu verarbeitenden Lebensmittelprodukte. Eine zweite axiale Seitenfläche 4 gegenüber der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 fungiert als Austrittsseitenfläche 4 der Formscheibe 1.The molding disk 1 is circular. It is preferably made of a metallic material, for. B. stainless steel. Also conceivable would be rectangular, polygonal, elliptical or other basic shapes of the shape of the disc. As in FIG. 1 Shown, the molding disk 1 has a bearing device 42. The storage device 42 is in the form of a blind hole 42. The axial side surface 2 of the shaping disk 1 functions as an entry side surface for the food products to be processed. A second axial side surface 4 opposite the entry side surface 2 functions as exit side surface 4 of the shaping disk 1.

Die Sacklochbohrung 42 dient zum Aufnehmen einer Schneideinrichtung 60 und / oder einer Lager- und Antriebswelle für die Schneideinrichtung 60. Eine Schneideinrichtung 60 ist beispielsweise in Form einer rotierenden Messerscheibe 60 ausgebildet, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt. Zum Aufnehmen der Schneideinrichtung 60 wären jedoch auch andere Varianten denkbar, z. B. ein von der Seitenfläche 2 axial abstehender Vorsprung oder eine mit der Formscheibe 1 einstückig ausgebildete Lagerwelle. Die Sacklochbohrung 42 ist konzentrisch zur Mittelachse M der Formscheibe 1 ausgerichtet. Zwischen der Sacklochbohrung 42 und der Vertiefung 10 befindet sich eine innere Auflagefläche 8 für eine Schneideinrichtung 60. Die Tiefe der Sacklochbohrung 42 beträgt im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel etwa zwei Drittel der Formscheibendicke.The blind bore 42 serves to receive a cutting device 60 and / or a bearing and drive shaft for the cutting device 60. A cutting device 60 is designed, for example, in the form of a rotating cutting disk 60, as in FIG FIG. 5 shown. For receiving the cutter 60, however, other variants would be conceivable, for. B. an axially protruding from the side surface 2 projection or integrally formed with the forming disk 1 bearing shaft. The blind hole 42 is aligned concentrically to the central axis M of the molding disc 1. Between the blind hole 42 and the recess 10 is an inner support surface 8 for a cutting device 60. The depth of the blind hole 42 in the first embodiment is about two-thirds of the thickness of the forming wheel.

Die Vertiefung 10 ist kreisbogenförmig ausgebildet und weist ein im Wesentlichen rechteckiges Querschnittsprofil auf. Je nach Form der Formscheibe 1 wären auch länglich ausgebildete Vertiefungen 10 denkbar. Die Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung beträgt etwa die Hälfte des Radius der Formscheibe 1. Die Form der Vertiefung 10 gleicht damit auch einem Teil einer Ringscheibe oder eines flachen Torus. Das Verhältnis zwischen dem Radius der Formscheibe 1 und der Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung könnte alternativ auch im Bereich von 1,25:1 bis 2,75:1 liegen. Die Vertiefung 10 ist konzentrisch zur Mittelachse M der Formscheibe 1 angeordnet. Zwischen der Vertiefung 10 und dem Außenrand der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 ist eine äußere Auflagefläche 6 vorgesehen. Im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Vertiefung 10 so angeordnet, dass der Abstand der Vertiefung 10 zur Sacklochbohrung 42 und dem Außenrand der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 bzw. die Breite der inneren und äußeren Auflagefläche 6, 8 in radialer Richtung annähernd gleich groß ist. Die Tiefe der Vertiefung 10 beträgt im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel etwa der Hälfte der Dicke der Formscheibe 1. Die Vertiefung 10 ist gefräst. Je nach Tiefe der Vertiefung 10 wären auch andere Herstellungsverfahren denkbar.The recess 10 is formed in a circular arc and has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional profile. Depending on the shape of the molding disk 1 would also be elongated trained depressions 10 conceivable. The width of the recess 10 in the radial direction is about half of the radius of the molding disk 1. The shape of the recess 10 is thus similar to a part of an annular disk or a flat torus. The ratio between the radius of the disk 1 and the width of the recess 10 in the radial direction could alternatively be in the range of 1.25: 1 to 2.75: 1. The recess 10 is arranged concentrically to the central axis M of the shaping disk 1. Between the recess 10 and the outer edge of the entrance side surface 2, an outer bearing surface 6 is provided. In the first embodiment, the recess 10 is arranged so that the distance of the recess 10 to the blind hole 42 and the outer edge of the inlet side surface 2 and the width of the inner and outer bearing surface 6, 8 in the radial direction is approximately equal. The depth of the recess 10 is in the first embodiment about half the thickness of the mold disc 1. The recess 10 is milled. Depending on the depth of the recess 10, other manufacturing methods would be conceivable.

Ein zu den Durchgangslöchern 40 bzw. Teilbereich 41 benachbarter Flächenabschnitt 12 der Vertiefung 10 ist als stufenlose Übergangsfläche 12 zur Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 ausgebildet. Der Flächenabschnitt 12 befindet sich an einem Ende 18 der Vertiefung 10. Wie in Figur 1 zu dargestellt, ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nur der Flächenabschnitt 12 am linken Ende 18 der Vertiefung 10 als Übergangsfläche ausgebildet. Am zweiten Ende 20 der Vertiefung 10 auf der rechten Seite in Figur 1 fällt die Vertiefung senkrecht von der Eintrittsfläche ab. Bei einer im Uhrzeigersinn rotierenden Schneideinrichtung würde das zweite Ende 20 das Einlaufende und das erste Ende 18 das Auslaufende der Schneideinrichtung darstellen. Alternativ könnten auch beide Enden 18, 20 der Vertiefung 10 mit einer Übergangsfläche 12 versehen sein. Wie in Figur 3 vergrößert dargestellt, verläuft die Übergangsfläche 12 schräg von der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 in die Vertiefung 10 hinein und weist eine abgerundete Kante 14 zum ebenen Abschnitt der Vertiefung 10 auf. Zwischen der Übergangsfläche 12 und der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 verläuft der Übergang fließend. Die Randlinie 15 der Übergangsfläche 12 zur Eintrittsfläche weist keine Kante auf. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel verläuft sie quer zur radialen Richtung der Formscheibe 1. Die Randlinie 15 verläuft somit schräg zu einer relativ zur Formscheibe 1 rotierenden Schneideinrichtung 60 und verhindert einen Kontakt zwischen einem Großteil der Randlinie 15 mit der Schneideinrichtung 60. Ferner zeigen in Figur 1 und 2, dass die Innenkanten bzw. Ecken 16 der Vertiefung 10 abgerundet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sich weniger Lebensmittelprodukte in den Ecken 16 ablagern und festsetzen. Auch können die Lebensmittelprodukte besser entfernt werden.A surface section 12 of the depression 10 adjacent to the through-holes 40 or partial region 41 is designed as a stepless transition surface 12 to the inlet side surface 2. The surface portion 12 is located at one end 18 of the recess 10. As in FIG. 1 To represented, in this embodiment, only the surface portion 12 at the left end 18 of the recess 10 is formed as a transition surface. At the second end 20 of the recess 10 on the right in FIG. 1 the depression drops vertically from the entrance surface. For a clockwise rotating cutter, the second end 20 would be the inlet end and the first end 18 would be the outlet end of the cutter. Alternatively, both ends 18, 20 of the recess 10 may be provided with a transition surface 12. As in FIG. 3 shown enlarged, the transition surface 12 extends obliquely from the inlet side surface 2 into the recess 10 and has a rounded edge 14 to the flat portion of the recess 10. Between the transition surface 12 and the inlet side surface 2, the transition is flowing. The edge line 15 of the transition surface 12 to the entrance surface has no edge. In this exemplary embodiment, it runs transversely to the radial direction of the shaping disk 1. The edge line 15 thus runs obliquely to a cutting device 60 rotating relative to the shaping disk 1 and prevents contact between a large part of the edge line 15 with the cutting device 60 FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the inner edges or corners 16 of the depression 10 are rounded. This has the advantage that less food products settle in the corners 16 and set. Also, the food products can be better removed.

Die Durchgangslöcher 40 sind zum Verarbeiten von Lebensmittelprodukten vorgesehen und münden in den Teilbereich 41 auf der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2. Die Durchgangslöcher 40 haben einen Durchmesser von wenigen Millimetern. Sie verlaufen axial durch die Formscheibe und münden in einen weiteren Teilbereich auf der Austrittsseitenfläche 4, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt.The through holes 40 are provided for processing food products and open into the portion 41 on the inlet side surface 2. The through holes 40 have a diameter of a few millimeters. They run axially through the shaping disk and open into a further subregion on the exit side surface 4, as in FIG FIG. 2 shown.

Im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Teilbereich 41 eine rechteckige Form auf. Der Teilbereich 41 ist zu den Enden 18, 20 der die Vertiefung 10 benachbart. Die Breite des Teilbereichs 41 ist kleiner als die Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung. Denkbar wäre auch die Breite des Teilbereichs 41 entsprechend zur Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung zu dimensionieren. Innerhalb des Teilbereichs 41 sind die Durchgangslöcher 40 dicht benachbart zueinander angeordnet. Wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, tangieren sich die Ränder der Durchgangslöcher 40 annähernd. Die Durchgangslöcher 40 sind ferner in Reihen angeordnet, wobei die Reihen abwechselnd zueinander versetzt sind. Ein Durchgangsloch 40 liegt zwischen zwei Durchgangslöchern 40 der benachbarten Reihen.In the first embodiment, the portion 41 has a rectangular shape. The portion 41 is adjacent to the ends 18, 20 of the recess 10. The width of the portion 41 is smaller than the width of the recess 10 in the radial direction. It would also be conceivable to dimension the width of the portion 41 corresponding to the width of the recess 10 in the radial direction. Within the portion 41, the through holes 40 are arranged closely adjacent to each other. As in FIG. 1 As shown, the edges of the through holes 40 approximate each other. The through-holes 40 are further arranged in rows, the rows being alternately offset from one another. A through hole 40 is located between two through holes 40 of the adjacent rows.

Figur 4 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Formscheibe 1 mit einer unterschiedlichen Anordnung der Durchgangslöcher 40. Die Durchgangslöcher 40 sind in mehreren benachbarten Gruppen 43, 43b, 44a, 44b, 45 innerhalb des Teilbereichs 41 angeordnet, wobei der die Durchgangslöcher 40 aufweisende Teilbereich 41 im Wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig ist. Die Gruppen sind kreis- 43a, 43b, ellipsenförmig 44a, 44b oder rechteckig 45 geformt. Die Anordnung der Gruppen 43, 43b, 44a, 44b, 45 innerhalb des Teilbereichs 41 ist achsensymmetrisch. Die Breite des Teilbereichs 41 entspricht im Wesentlichen der Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung und grenzt an den Enden 18, 20 der Vertiefung 10 an. Der Bereich, den die die Vertiefung 10 und der Teilbereich 41 der Durchgangslöcher 40 auf der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 einnehmen, entspricht der Form einer Ringscheibe. Diese Form und Anordnung der Vertiefung 10 und des Teilbereichs 41 ist bei Verwendung der Formscheibe 1 in Kombination mit einer rotierenden Messerscheibe 60 besonders vorteilhaft. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the shape of the disc 1 with a different arrangement of the through holes 40. The through holes 40 are arranged in a plurality of adjacent groups 43, 43b, 44a, 44b, 45 within the portion 41, wherein the through-holes 40 having portion 41 is substantially circular arc , The groups are circular 43a, 43b, elliptical 44a, 44b or rectangular 45 shaped. The arrangement of the groups 43, 43b, 44a, 44b, 45 within the portion 41 is axisymmetric. The width of the portion 41 substantially corresponds to the width of the recess 10 in the radial direction and adjacent to the ends 18, 20 of the recess 10 at. The area occupied by the recess 10 and the portion 41 of the through holes 40 on the entrance side surface 2 corresponds to the shape of an annular disk. This shape and arrangement of the recess 10 and the portion 41 is particularly advantageous when using the molding disk 1 in combination with a rotating cutter disk 60.

Figur 5 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Schneidvorrichtung 100 mit, einer Formscheibe 1 nach dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel und mit einer Schneideinrichtung 60, welche an der axialen Seitenfläche 2 bzw. der Eintrittsseitenfläche der Formscheibe 1 anliegend angeordnet ist und relativ zu dieser bewegbar ist. FIG. 5 shows a first embodiment of a cutting device 100 with, a molding disk 1 according to the first embodiment and with a cutting device 60, which is arranged adjacent to the axial side surface 2 and the inlet side surface of the mold disc 1 and is movable relative thereto.

Die Schneideinrichtung 60 weist einen felgenförmigen Aufbau mit mehreren Rippen 62 auf. Die Rippen 62 sind mittels eines kreisförmigen Verstärkungsgliedes 68 und einer Nabe 70 miteinander verbunden. Die Schneideinrichtung 60 ist einstückig ausgebildet. Die Rippen 62 sind aus einer quaderförmigen Klinge 64 und einer Versteifung 65 aufgebaut. Denkbar wären auch Klingen mit einem unterschiedlichen Aufbau. Die quaderförmige Klinge 64 liegt auf der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 der Formscheibe 1 auf, wobei die Auflagefläche der Klinge 64 eine Schneide 66 aufweist. Die Länge der Klinge 64 ist größer als die Breite der Vertiefung 10 in radialer Richtung. Ein Teil der Klinge 64 liegt auf der Eintrittsseitenfläche 2 auf den inneren und äußeren Auflageflächen 6, 8 auf. Dies sichert eine stabile Auflage der Messerscheibe 60. Die Länge der Klinge 64 ist zugleich kleiner als der Radius der Formscheibe 1, um einen Überstand der Klinge 64 außerhalb der Formscheibe 1 zu vermeiden.The cutting device 60 has a rim-shaped construction with a plurality of ribs 62. The ribs 62 are interconnected by means of a circular reinforcing member 68 and a hub 70. The cutting device 60 is integrally formed. The ribs 62 are constructed of a cuboid blade 64 and a stiffener 65. Also conceivable would be blades with a different structure. The cuboid blade 64 rests on the entry side surface 2 of the shaping disk 1, the bearing surface of the blade 64 having a cutting edge 66. The length of the blade 64 is greater than the width of the recess 10 in the radial direction. A portion of the blade 64 rests on the entrance side surface 2 on the inner and outer bearing surfaces 6, 8. This ensures a stable support of the cutter disk 60. The length of the blade 64 is at the same time smaller than the radius of the shaping disk 1 in order to avoid a projection of the blade 64 outside the shaping disk 1.

Die Versteifung 65 ist auf mittlerer Höhe der Klinge angebaut und kommt mit der Formscheibe 1 nicht in Berührung. Ferner ist die Versteifung 65 relativ zur Drehrichtung der Schneideinrichtung im Uhrzeigersinn betrachtet hinter der der Klinge 64 angebracht. Die Rippen 62 sind gleichwinklig zueinander angeordnet. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die vier Rippen 62 jeweils in einem Winkel von 90° zueinander angeordnet. Denkbar wären auch Schneideinrichtungen 60 mit einer höheren oder geringeren Anzahl von Rippen 62. Die Rippen 62 sind mittels eines Verstärkungsgliedes 68 miteinander verbunden. Das Verstärkungsglied 68 ist kreisförmig geformt. Es ist jeweils mit den äußeren Enden der Rippen 62 in radialer Richtung verbunden. Wie in Figur 7 ist zu dargestellt, ist das Verstärkungsglied 68 auf mittlerer Höhe der Klingen 64 mit den Versteifungen 65 einstückig ausgebildet.The stiffener 65 is mounted on the middle height of the blade and does not come into contact with the shaping disk 1. Further, the stiffener 65 is mounted behind the blade 64 relative to the direction of rotation of the cutter in a clockwise direction. The ribs 62 are arranged at right angles to each other. In this embodiment, the four ribs 62 are each arranged at an angle of 90 ° to each other. Cutting devices 60 with a higher or lower number of ribs 62 would also be conceivable. The ribs 62 are connected to one another by means of a reinforcing member 68. The reinforcing member 68 is formed in a circular shape. It is respectively connected to the outer ends of the ribs 62 in the radial direction. As in FIG. 7 is shown to, the reinforcing member 68 is formed integrally with the stiffeners 65 at mid-height of the blades 64.

Die Schneideinrichtung 60 wird mittels der Lager- und Antriebswelle, die nicht in den Figuren gezeigt ist, an der Formscheibe 1 drehbar gelagert. Die Lager- und Antriebswelle ist hierzu mit der Nabe 70 der Schneideinrichtung 60 sowie der Sacklochbohrung 42 der Formscheibe 1 formschlüssig verbunden. Zum Aufnehmen der Lager- und Antriebswelle, weist die Nabe eine Ausnehmung 72 auf. Die Schneideinrichtung 60 ist konzentrisch zur Formscheibe ausgerichtet. Wie in den Figuren 7 und 8 zu dargestellt, ist die Nabe 70 in der Höhe größer ausgebildet als die Klinge 64. Auf diese Weise wird eine höhere Drehsteifigkeit der Nabe 70 erreicht.The cutting device 60 is rotatably mounted on the mold disc 1 by means of the bearing and drive shaft, which is not shown in the figures. For this purpose, the bearing and drive shaft is positively connected to the hub 70 of the cutting device 60 as well as the blind bore 42 of the shaping disk 1. For receiving the bearing and drive shaft, the hub has a recess 72. The cutting device 60 is aligned concentrically with the shaping disk. As in the FIGS. 7 and 8th 11, the hub 70 is made larger in height than the blade 64. In this way, a higher torsional rigidity of the hub 70 is achieved.

Figur 9 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Schneidvorrichtung 200 enthaltend ein Gehäuse 80 mit einem Einlass 82 und einem Auslass 84, und Fördermittel 86 zum Fördern der Lebensmittelprodukte zum Auslass 84 sowie die Schneidvorrichtung 100 nach dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Der Einlass 82 ist in Form eines Trichters ausgebildet, der optional mit mehreren Schnecken zum zusätzlichen Fördern und Mischen der Lebensmittelprodukte ausgestattet sein kann. Die Formscheibe 1 ist am Auslass 84 angeordnet und so ausgebildet, um den Querschnitt des Auslasses 84 auszufüllen. FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment of the cutting device 200 including a housing 80 with an inlet 82 and an outlet 84, and conveying means 86 for conveying the food products to the outlet 84 and the cutting device 100 according to the first embodiment. The inlet 82 is in the form of a funnel, which may optionally be equipped with a plurality of screws for additional conveying and mixing of the food products. The mold disc 1 is disposed at the outlet 84 and is formed to fill the cross section of the outlet 84.

Denkbar wäre auch eine Kombination des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels der Schneidvorrichtung 100 mit einer Vorrichtung zum Fördern und Bearbeiten von Lebensmitteln nach DE 10 2008 013 393 .A combination of the first exemplary embodiment of the cutting device 100 with a device for conveying and processing foodstuffs would also be conceivable DE 10 2008 013 393 ,

Zum Verarbeiten von Lebensmittelprodukten wird die Schneideinrichtung 60 mittels der Antriebswelle relativ zur Formscheibe 1 rotiert. Die Fördermittel fördern die Lebensmittelprodukte in die Durchgangslöcher 40, wobei die Schneideinrichtung 60 dafür sorgt, dass die Lebensmittel in kleine Stück gehackt werden, sobald sie in die Durchgangslöcher 40 gelangen. Außerhalb des Teilbereichs 41 befindet sich ein schneidwirksamer Teil bzw. Abschnitt der Klinge 64 über der Vertiefung 10, so dass der Kontakt zwischen diesem Teil der Klinge 64 und der Formscheibe 1 aufgehoben wird. Auf diese Weise wird ein Abstumpfen der Schneide 66 abseits des Teilbereichs 41 verhindert.For processing food products, the cutting device 60 is rotated by means of the drive shaft relative to the shaping disk 1. The conveyors feed the food products into the through-holes 40, the cutter 60 causing the food to be chopped into small pieces as they enter the through-holes 40. Outside the portion 41 is a cutting effective portion of the blade 64 on the recess 10 so that the contact between this part of the blade 64 and the mold disc 1 is released. In this way, blunting of the cutting edge 66 away from the portion 41 is prevented.
