Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrisch betriebene Scheibenschneidemaschine zum Abschneiden von Scheiben aus insbesondere strangförmigem Schneidegut, vorzugsweise Lebensmittel, mit einer Schneideeinrichtung, die ein in einem Maschinengehäuse gelagertes, in einer Schneidebene um eine erste Drehachse x rotierendes Kreismesser umfasst, mit einer parallel zur Schneidebene angeordneten, in x-Richtung verschiebbaren Anschlagplatte zur Schnittstärkeneinstellung, mit einem eine Auflageplatte mit einer in einer horizontalen Ebene senkrecht zur Schneidebene angeordneten Auflagefläche zum Auflegen des Schneideguts tragenden Schlitten, welcher über eine Schlittenführung geführt und auf einer mit dem Maschinengehäuse verbundenen Gleitschiene parallel zur Ebene der Auflagefläche sowie parallel zur Schneidebene in einer y-Richtung senkrecht zur erste Drehachse x linear verfahrbar ist, wobei der Schlitten zu Reinigungszwecken aus einer Arbeitslage in y-Richtung in eine Reinigungslage bewegbar ist und wobei der Schlitten mittels einer Schlittenverriegelung in der Arbeitslage verriegelbar ist.The invention relates to an electrically operated disc cutting machine for cutting slices of, in particular, stranded cutting material, preferably foodstuffs, with a cutting device comprising a circular blade mounted in a machine housing and rotating in a cutting plane about a first axis of rotation, with a cutting blade arranged parallel to the cutting plane x-direction sliding stop plate for cutting thickness adjustment, with a support plate with a arranged in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the cutting plane support surface for placing the cutting material carrying slide, which is guided over a slide guide and parallel to the plane of the support surface and parallel to a sliding rail connected to the machine housing to the cutting plane in a y-direction perpendicular to the first axis of rotation x is linearly movable, wherein the carriage for cleaning purposes from a working position in the y-direction movable into a cleaning position and wherein the carriage is lockable by means of a carriage lock in the working position.

Eine derartige Scheibenschneidemaschine ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2011 084 103 A1 bekannt.Such a slicing machine is for example from the DE 10 2011 084 103 A1 known.

Das Schneidegut, insbesondere in automatisch betriebenen Scheibenschneidemaschinen für strangförmige Lebensmittel, wie etwa Würste, Schinken, Lachs, Käse etc., wird gegen die Schneideeinrichtung bewegt, meist in x-Richtung senkrecht zur Schneidebene, in welcher üblicherweise ein oder mehrere rotierende Kreismesser umlaufen, um Scheiben vom geförderten Schneidegut abzuschneiden. Der Antrieb der Schneide-einrichtung erfolgt durch einen Elektromotor, der zum Schutz gegen Spritzwasser und Verschmutzung sowie zur mechanischen Sicherung gegen äußere Eingriffe vom Maschinengehäuse vollständig umschlossen ist.The material to be cut, in particular in automatically operated slicing machines for rope-shaped foods, such as sausages, ham, salmon, cheese, etc., is moved against the cutting device, usually in the x-direction perpendicular to the cutting plane, in which usually one or more rotating circular blades rotate Cut slices off the conveyed material. The drive of the cutting device is carried out by an electric motor, which is completely enclosed to protect against splashing water and pollution and for mechanical protection against external interference from the machine housing.

Um nun die erwünschte Scheibe mittels des rotierenden Messers vom Schneidegut abtrennen zu können, wird das Schneidegut auf der Auflagefläche der Auflageplatte liegend mit dem Schlittens in y-Richtung parallel zur Schneidebene verfahren und auf die umlaufende Messerklinge zubewegt, bis das rotierende Messer das Schneidegut vollständig durchgeschnitten und die Scheibe vom Schneidegut abgeschnitten hat. Üblicherweise ist die Auflageplatte starr mit einer Stützeinrichtung verbunden, welche von der Auflageplatte nach unten führt und sich verfahrbar auf einer Gleitschiene abstützt, die ihrerseits starr mit dem Maschinengehäuse verbunden ist.In order to be able to separate the desired disc from the material to be cut by means of the rotating knife, the material to be cut on the support surface of the support plate is moved with the carriage in the y-direction parallel to the cutting plane and moved towards the rotating knife blade until the rotating knife completely cut through the cutting material and cut the slice off the cutting material. Usually, the support plate is rigidly connected to a support means, which leads from the support plate down and is movably supported on a slide rail, which in turn is rigidly connected to the machine housing.

Zum Zwecke der Reinigung der Auflageplatte -was insbesondere für Scheibenschneidemaschinen im Einsatz bei Lebensmitteln aus hygienischen Gründen unerlässlich ist und daher häufig in regelmäßigen, relativ kurzen Abständen erfolgen muss- sind Vorkehrungen erforderlich, die es ermöglichen, die Auflageplatte aus dem Schneidebereich des Kreismessers herauszufahren und möglichst in eine einfach erreichbare Reinigungslage zu bringen, in welcher die Auflageplatte gut zugänglich ist und problemlos gesäubert werden kann.For the purpose of cleaning the platen - which is indispensable especially for slicing machines in food use for hygienic reasons and therefore must be done frequently at regular, relatively short intervals - precautions are necessary that make it possible, the platen To extend the cutting area of the circular blade and bring as possible in an easily accessible cleaning position in which the support plate is easily accessible and can be cleaned easily.

Dazu wird in der DE 10 2011 084 103 A1 vorgeschlagen, die Auflageplatte in ihre Reinigungslage zu bringen, indem sie in einer aus der Arbeitsstellung längs der Gleitschiene in y-Richtung linear herausgefahrenen Endposition um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkt wird, wobei sie in allen anderen Positionen einschließlich der Arbeitsstellung jedoch gegen eine Verschwenkung verriegelt ist.This is in the DE 10 2011 084 103 A1 proposed to bring the support plate in its cleaning position by being pivoted in a linearly extended from the working position along the slide in the y-direction end position about a pivot axis, but it is locked in all other positions including the working position, however, against pivoting.

Somit kann die Auflageplatte dann also nur in ihrer Endposition verschwenkt werden. Es bedarf daher eines hinreichenden Raumangebots zur Aufnahme der verschwenkten Auflageplatte im Umfeld der in einem hinteren oder vorderen Bereich der Scheibenschneidemaschine angeordneten Endposition.Thus, the support plate can then be pivoted so only in its final position. It therefore requires a sufficient amount of space for receiving the pivoted platen in the vicinity of the arranged in a rear or front portion of the disc cutting machine end position.

Um eine ausreichende Stabilität des benötigten Verschwenkmechanismus zu gewährleisten, bedarf es zudem einer verhältnismäßig aufwändigen und dadurch teilweise auch ziemlich schweren Verschwenkmechanik.In order to ensure sufficient stability of the required pivoting mechanism, it also requires a relatively complex and thereby sometimes quite heavy pivoting mechanism.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es demgegenüber, eine gattungsgemäße Scheibenschneidemaschine mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen kostengünstig und mit geringem technischen Aufwand dahin gehend zu verbessern, dass für die Maschine bei möglichst kompakter Gestaltung eine einfache Reinigung, insbesondere der Auflageplatte mit der Auflagefläche sowie des Schlittens, ermöglicht wird, wobei der für die erforderlichen Reinigungsarbeiten notwendige Bereich der Scheibenschneidemaschine von außen besonders einfach erreichbar sein soll und der Schlitten mit der Auflageplatte während der Reinigung in seiner Reinigungslage stabil zwischengelagert und wieder in seine Arbeitslage bewegt werden kann.Object of the present invention is in contrast to improve a generic disc cutting machine with the features described above cost and with little technical effort to the effect that for the machine with the most compact design easy cleaning, especially the support plate with the support surface and the carriage allows is, with the necessary for the required cleaning work area of the slicer from the outside particularly easy should be achievable and the slide with the support plate during cleaning in his cleaning stable storage and can be moved back to its working position.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe auf ebenso überraschend einfache wie wirkungsvolle Art und Weise dadurch gelöst, dass der Schlitten samt Auflageplatte im nicht-verriegelten Zustand auf einer am Maschinengehäuse gehaltenen Stützeinrichtung parallel zur x-Richtung von der Schneideeinrichtung weg um eine Verschiebedistanz L in eine Reinigungsposition verschiebbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a surprisingly simple and effective manner in that the carriage together with the support plate in the unlocked state on a supporting device held on the machine housing parallel to the x-direction of the cutting device is displaced by a displacement distance L in a cleaning position ,

Somit kann der Schlitten in x-Richtung von der Schneideeinrichtung beabstandet werden, sodass Schneidereste, die sich beispielsweise zwischen Schneideeinrichtung und Schlitten bzw. am Rand oder neben der Auflageplatte befinden, problemlos entfernt werden können. Die geometrischen Zugriffsmöglichkeiten auf Schneideeinrichtung, Schlitten und Auflageplatte werden damit deutlich verbessert, sodass die Scheibenschneidemaschine einfacher, umfassender und schneller gereinigt werden kann.Thus, the carriage can be spaced in the x-direction of the cutting device, so Schneidereste, which are, for example, between cutter and carriage or on the edge or next to the platen, can be easily removed. The geometric access options on the cutting device, slide and support plate are thus significantly improved, so that the slicing machine can be cleaned easier, more comprehensive and faster.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Stützeinrichtung eine Verschiebestrecke zur Verschiebung des Schlittens in seine Reinigungsposition aufweisen. Dadurch kann der Schlitten auf einfache Weise verschoben werden. Somit ist es auch nicht mehr erforderlich, zur Reinigung den Schlitten zunächst in eine bestimmte Endposition zu bringen, bevor er in seine Reinigungsposition gebracht werden kann.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the support means may have a displacement distance for displacing the carriage into its cleaning position. As a result, the carriage can be easily moved. Thus, it is no longer necessary to bring the carriage first in a certain end position for cleaning, before it can be brought into its cleaning position.

Bei vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Scheibenschneidemaschine ist die Schlittenverriegelung als 0-Verriegelung ausgebildet. Die sogenannte Null-Verriegelung bedeutet, dass die Scheiben-Schnittstärke auf ein Maß von Null (oder sogar virtuell < 0) eingestellt wird, so dass die Anschlagplatte ganz geschlossen vor dem Messer ist. Erst dann kann man den Schlitten in die Reinigungsposition bringen. Befindet sich der Schlitten in der Reinigungsposition, muss elektrisch und/oder mechanisch die Anschlagplatte in dieser geschlossenen Position gehalten, also verriegelt sein. Erst wenn der Schlitten wieder sicher in der Schneidposition ist, darf die Anschlagplatte wieder auf eine (reale) Scheiben-Schnittstärke größer Null eingestellt werden können.In advantageous embodiments of the disc cutting machine according to the invention, the carriage lock is designed as a 0-locking. The so-called zero-lock means that the slice slice thickness is set to zero (or even virtually <0) so that the stop plate is completely closed in front of the knife. Only then can you bring the carriage to the cleaning position. If the carriage is in the cleaning position, the stop plate must be electrically and / or mechanically held in this closed position, ie locked. Only when the carriage is safely back in the cutting position, the stop plate may again be set to a (real) slice thickness greater than zero.

Bei weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen der Erfindung kann die Schlittenverriegelung in die Anschlagplatte eingreifen.In further advantageous embodiments of the invention, the carriage lock can engage in the stop plate.

Bei einer bevorzugten Klasse von Ausführungsformen der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte in der Reinigungsposition in einer horizontalen Ebene parallel zur Ebene der Auflagefläche um eine durch einen Befestigungspunkt an der Stützeinrichtung verlaufende zweite Drehachse z senkrecht zur Ebene der Auflagefläche in eine Reinigungslage verdrehbar ist, ohne dass die Auflageplatte an der Anschlagplatte oder an der Schneidplatte anstößt.In a preferred class of embodiments of the invention can be provided that the carriage and / or the support plate in the cleaning position in a horizontal plane parallel to the plane of the support surface about a passing through an attachment point on the support means second rotation axis z perpendicular to the plane of the support surface in a cleaning layer is rotatable without the support plate abuts against the stop plate or on the cutting plate.

Während in der Arbeitslage die Auflageplatte bzw. der Schlitten in der Regel nicht um eine senkrecht zur Ebene der Auflagefläche verlaufende Drehachse drehbar ist, kann dies ermöglicht werden, wenn der Schlitten erfindungsgemäß um die Verschiebedistanz L in seine Reinigungsposition verschoben ist. Somit kann der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte an der Reinigungsposition um die zweite Drehachse z verdreht werden, sodass eine Reinigung noch leichter möglich wird. Somit kann die Erreichbarkeit der Auflagefläche bzw. der Auflageplatte und/oder des Schlittens durch einfaches Drehen, anstatt wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt durch Verschwenken, ermöglicht werden. Ein Verdrehen in die Reinigungslage bzw. ein Rückdrehen ist selbst bei schweren Schlitten bzw. Auflageplatten problemlos möglich. Im Gegensatz zu einem Verschwenken kann zudem die Drehbewegung der Auflageplatte bzw. des Schlittens sehr stabil geführt werden. Kann die Auflageplatte und/oder der Schlitten verdreht werden, ohne dass die Auflageplatte an der Anschlagplatte oder an der Schneideeinrichtung anstößt, so lässt sich der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte problemlos in einem sehr weiten Winkelbereich verdrehen. Auf diese Weise können auch ansonsten schwierig erreichbare Stellen zu Reinigungszwecken einfach erreicht und gereinigt werden.While in the working position, the support plate or the carriage is usually not rotatable about a perpendicular to the plane of the support surface extending axis of rotation, this can be made possible when the carriage is moved according to the invention by the displacement distance L in its cleaning position. Thus, the carriage and / or the support plate at the cleaning position about the second axis of rotation z be twisted, so that a cleaning is even easier. Thus, the accessibility of the support surface or the support plate and / or the carriage by simply rotating, instead of as known from the prior art by pivoting, are made possible. A rotation in the cleaning position or a reverse rotation is easily possible even with heavy sled or support plates. In contrast to a pivoting also the rotational movement of the support plate or the carriage can be performed very stable. If the support plate and / or the carriage can be rotated without the support plate abutting the stop plate or on the cutting device, then the carriage and / or the support plate can easily rotate in a very wide angular range. In this way, otherwise difficult to reach places for cleaning purposes can be easily achieved and cleaned.

Bei Weiterbildungen dieser Klasse von Ausführungsformen kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte in der Reinigungsposition um die zweite Drehachse z bis zu 90° aus der im Schneidebetrieb eingenommenen Normallage in eine Reinigungslage verdrehbar ist. Somit können der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte seitwärts so abgestellt werden, dass auch die der Schneidebene in Normallage zugewandte Kante bzw. Seite problemlos reinigbar ist.In developments of this class of embodiments it can be provided that the carriage and / or the support plate in the cleaning position about the second axis of rotation z up to 90 ° from the normal position occupied in the cutting operation in a cleaning position is rotatable. Thus, the carriage and / or the support plate can be turned sideways so that even the cutting plane in normal position facing edge or side is easily cleaned.

Besonders vorteilhaft sind auch Weiterbildungen, bei welchen der Befestigungspunkt an der Stützeinrichtung exzentrisch bezüglich des Schlittens und/oder der Auflageplatte und in Randnähe des Schlittens bzw. der Auflageplatte angeordnet ist. Dann können der Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte von der Schneidebene weggedreht bzw. abgestellt werden, ohne dass es zu einem Anstoßen eines Teils des Schlittens, beispielsweise an der Anschlagplatte, kommen kann.Further developments are particularly advantageous in which the attachment point on the support device is arranged eccentrically with respect to the carriage and / or the support plate and near the edge of the carriage or the support plate. Then, the carriage and / or the platen can be turned away from the cutting plane or, without it may come to a bumping of a portion of the carriage, for example on the stop plate.

Es kann auch bei Weiterbildungen die Verdrehung des Schlittens und/oder der Auflageplatte um die zweite Drehachse z durch ein Begrenzungsstück begrenzt werden. Das Begrenzungsstück kann beispielsweise ein Stift sein. Es kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass zur Begrenzung der Verdrehung des Schlittens und/oder der Auflageplatte der Stift in einer Endposition in den Schlitten und/oder die Auflageplatte einrastet. Dann kann der Schlitten in seine Reinigungslage verdreht und zu Reinigungszwecken in dieser stabil "geparkt" werden.It can also be limited in further developments, the rotation of the carriage and / or the support plate about the second axis of rotation z by a limiting piece. The limiting piece may for example be a pin. It can be provided in particular that the pin engages in an end position in the carriage and / or the support plate to limit the rotation of the carriage and / or the support plate. Then the slide can be twisted into its cleaning position and "parked" for cleaning purposes in this stable.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann ferner eine Verschiebung des Schlittens samt Auflageplatte parallel zur x-Richtung und/oder eine Verdrehung des Schlittens und/oder der Auflageplatte um die zweite Drehachse z manuell, aber auch motorisch angetrieben erfolgen.In a further embodiment of the invention, a displacement of the carriage together with the support plate parallel to the x-direction and / or rotation of the carriage and / or the support plate about the second axis of rotation z can also be done manually, but also driven by a motor.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Scheibenschneidemaschine können sich auch dadurch auszeichnen, dass eine Verschiebung des Schlittens samt Auflageplatte parallel zur x-Richtung und/oder eine Verdrehung des Schlittens und/oder der Auflageplatte um die zweite Drehachse z in mehreren Raststellungen erfolgt.Advantageous embodiments of the disc cutting machine according to the invention can also be characterized in that a displacement of the carriage together with the support plate parallel to the x-direction and / or rotation of the carriage and / or the support plate about the second axis of rotation z takes place in several detent positions.

Die erfindungsgemäße Scheibenschneidemaschine kann sowohl als Vertikal-Schneider als auch in Form eines Schräg-Schneiders ausgeführt sein.The slicing machine according to the invention can be designed both as a vertical cutter and in the form of a slanted cutter.

Die einzelnen Merkmale können je einzeln für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebigen Kombinationen bei Varianten der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the figures of the drawing, which shows details essential to the invention, and from the claims. The individual characteristics may each be implemented individually or in combination in any combination in variants of the invention.

Figur 3 stellt eine Schneidemaschine 1 gemäß dem Stand der Technik dar. Zu erkennen ist eine Schneideeinrichtung 2, an der ein elektrisch angetriebenes Kreismesser 3 zum Scheibenschnitt angeordnet ist. Das Kreismesser 3 wird durch einen Schnittschutz 4 abgesichert. An die Schneideeinrichtung 2 grenzt eine Anschlagplatte 5 an. Die Anschlagplatte 5 kann senkrecht zur Bildebene mittels eines Einstellknopfes 6 verstellt werden. Somit kann mittels des Einstellknopfes 6 die Schnittstärke justiert werden. Der Einstellknopf 6 befindet sich an einem Fußteil 7 des Maschinengehäuses 8 der Scheibenschneidemaschine 1. Über eine Gleitschiene 9, die seitlich am Fußteil 7 angebracht ist, kann eine Stützeinrichtung 10 eines Schlittens 11 entlang des Maschinengehäuses 8 bzw. entlang der Anschlagplatte 5, mit anderen Worten parallel zu einer Schneidebene E, verschoben werden. FIG. 3 shows a cutting machine 1 according to the prior art. It can be seen a cutting device 2, on which an electrically driven circular blade 3 is arranged for slice cut. The circular blade 3 is secured by a cut protection 4. A stop plate 5 adjoins the cutting device 2. The stop plate 5 can be adjusted perpendicular to the image plane by means of a knob 6. Thus, the cutting thickness can be adjusted by means of the adjusting knob 6. The adjusting knob 6 is located on a foot part 7 of the machine housing 8 of the disc cutting machine 1. About a slide rail 9, which is mounted laterally on the foot part 7, a support means 10 of a carriage 11 along the machine housing 8 or along the stop plate 5, in other words parallel to a cutting plane E, to be moved.

An der Stützeinrichtung 10 ist eine Schlittenverriegelung 12 angeordnet. Die Schlittenverriegelung 12 greift in verriegeltem Zustand in das Fußteil 7 ein. Somit wird der Schlitten 11 in seiner Arbeitslage gehalten, wenn er durch die Schlittenverriegelung 12 verriegelt ist. Wird die Verriegelung der Schlittenverriegelung 12 gelöst, so kann im Stand der Technik der Schlitten mit samt einer nicht dargestellten Auflageplatte bzw. einer ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Auflagefläche aus der Bildebene nach vorne heraus verschwenkt werden. Da der Schlitten 11 im verschwenkten Zustand allein an der Gleitschiene 9 gehalten wird, ist erkennbar, dass die Scheibenschneidemaschine 1 im verschwenkten Zustand nur eine geringe Stabilität und Haltbarkeit aufweist. Auch kann es - insbesondere, wenn der Schlitten 11 ein hohes Gewicht aufweist - einem Benutzer schwer fallen, den Schlitten 11 wieder in seine Normallage bzw. Arbeitslage zurück zu schwenken.At the support means 10, a carriage lock 12 is arranged. The carriage lock 12 engages in the locked state in the foot part 7 a. Thus, the carriage 11 is held in its working position when locked by the carriage lock 12. If the locking of the carriage lock 12 is released, so in the prior art, the carriage together with a support plate, not shown, or a support surface, also not shown, are pivoted out of the image plane forward. Since the carriage 11 is held in the pivoted state alone on the slide rail 9, it can be seen that the disc cutting machine 1 in the pivoted state has only a low stability and durability. Also, it can - especially if the carriage 11 has a high weight - difficult for a user to swing the carriage 11 back to its normal position or work position back.

Die Figur 1 zeigt nun ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Scheibenschneidemaschine 101. Im oberen Teil der Fig. 1 ist dazu eine Seitenansicht der Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 dargestellt. Im unteren Teil der Fig. 1 ist eine Aufsicht auf die Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 dargestellt.The FIG. 1 Now shows a first embodiment of a slicing machine 101 according to the invention. In the upper part of Fig. 1 For this purpose, a side view of the slicing machine 101 is shown. In the lower part of the Fig. 1 a plan view of the slicing machine 101 is shown.

Die Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 weist wiederum eine Schneideeinrichtung 102 mit einem Kreismesser 103 und einem Schnittschutz 104 auf. Die Lage einer Anschlagplatte 105 kann durch einen Einstellknopf 106 justiert werden. Dazu kann die Anschlagplatte 105 parallel zu einer Richtung x, die der Drehachse des Kreismessers 103 entspricht, verlagert werden. Durch die Verlagerung kann wiederum die Scheibendicke der zu schneidenden Scheiben eingestellt werden. In Längsrichtung der Anschlagplatte 105 und des Kreismessers 103 und somit senkrecht zur ersten Drehachse x ergibt sich eine Schnittebene E.The slicing machine 101 in turn has a cutting device 102 with a circular blade 103 and a cut protection 104. The location of a stop plate 105 can be adjusted by a knob 106. For this purpose, the stopper plate 105 can be displaced parallel to a direction x, which corresponds to the axis of rotation of the circular blade 103. Due to the shift, in turn, the slice thickness the slices to be cut are adjusted. In the longitudinal direction of the stop plate 105 and the circular blade 103 and thus perpendicular to the first axis of rotation x results in a cutting plane E.

Das Kreismesser 103 ist in einem Maschinengehäuse 108 gelagert. Im unteren Bereich des Maschinengehäuses 108 ist ein Fußteil 107 ausgebildet. Über eine Gleitschiene 109 und eine Stützeinrichtung 110 ist ein Schlitten 111 am Fußteil 107 verschiebbar angeordnet.The circular blade 103 is mounted in a machine housing 108. In the lower region of the machine housing 108, a foot part 107 is formed. Via a slide rail 109 and a support device 110, a carriage 111 is slidably disposed on the foot part 107.

Der Schlitten 111 weist eine Auflageplatte 113 mit einer Auflagefläche 114 auf. Die Auflagefläche 114 dient zum Auflegen von Schneidegut. Die Auflageplatte 113 bzw. die Auflagefläche 114 sind im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet und befinden sich in einer horizontalen Ebene A, die somit senkrecht zur Schneidebene E angeordnet ist.The carriage 111 has a support plate 113 with a support surface 114. The support surface 114 serves for laying on cutting material. The support plate 113 and the support surface 114 are aligned substantially horizontally and are located in a horizontal plane A, which is thus arranged perpendicular to the cutting plane E.

Somit kann der Schlitten 111 in der horizontalen Ebene A am Kreismesser 103 entlang geschoben werden und somit Schneidegut durch das Kreismesser 103 scheibenweise geschnitten werden.Thus, the carriage 111 can be pushed along the circular blade 103 in the horizontal plane A and thus cutting material can be cut by the disc cutter 103 disc.

Der Figur 1 ist des Weiteren zu entnehmen, dass die Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 eine Verschiebestrecke 115 aufweist. Die Verschiebestrecke 115 ist oberseitig an der Stützeinrichtung 110 angebracht. Mit anderen Worten ist die Stützeinrichtung 110 wenigstens in einem oberen Bereich verbreitert. Die Verschiebestrecke 115 weist eine maximale Verschiebedistanz der Breite L auf. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Schlitten 111 auf der Verschiebestrecke 115 verschiebbar angeordnet. Somit kann der Schlitten 111 nicht nur parallel zur Schneidebene E verschoben werden, sondern auch parallel zur ersten Drehachse x. Somit kann entlang der Verschiebestrecke 115 der Schlitten 111 in Richtung der ersten Drehachse x vom Kreismesser 103 weg verlagert werden.Of the FIG. 1 It can also be seen that the slicing machine 101 has a displacement path 115. The displacement path 115 is attached to the upper side of the support device 110. In other words, the support device 110 is widened at least in an upper area. The displacement distance 115 has a maximum displacement distance of the width L. According to the invention, the carriage 111 is displaceably arranged on the displacement path 115. Thus, the carriage 111 can be moved not only parallel to the cutting plane E, but also parallel to the first axis of rotation x. Thus, along the displacement path 115, the carriage 111 in FIG Direction of the first axis of rotation x are moved away from the circular blade 103 away.

Die Verschiebebahn kann zum Beispiel über eine Art Schwalbenschwanzführung ausgeführt sein. Der Verschiebeweg könnte aber theoretisch auch länger sein. Die Schwalbenschwanzführung könnte fast über die gesamte Länge des Schlittens 111 gehen. Es muss nur gewährleistet sein dass der Schlitten 111 beim Verschieben sich immer noch über der Stützeinrichtung 110 befindet.The sliding track can be designed, for example, via a type of dovetail guide. The displacement could theoretically be longer. The dovetail guide could go almost the entire length of the carriage 111. It only has to be ensured that the carriage 111 is still above the support device 110 during the movement.

Um im Normalbetrieb eine solche Verlagerung auszuschließen, ist eine Schlittenverriegelung 112 vorgesehen. Die Schlittenverriegelung 112 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel am Schlitten 111 angeordnet. Sie ist als Pro-Verriegelung ausgebildet und greift in verriegeltem Zustand in die Anschlagplatte 105 ein. Die Schlittenverriegelung 112 kann für manuelle Bedienung ausgelegt sein, wird aber bei großen Schneidemaschinen von einem Bedientableau aus automatisch durch elektromechanische Aktuatoren gesteuert.In order to exclude such a shift during normal operation, a carriage lock 112 is provided. The carriage lock 112 is arranged on the carriage 111 in this embodiment. It is designed as a pro-lock and engages in the locked state in the stop plate 105 a. The carriage lock 112 may be designed for manual operation, but is controlled automatically by electromechanical actuators in large cutting machines from a control panel.

Zum Gebrauch der Scheibenschneideeinrichtung 101 kann somit wie gewohnt Schneidegut auf die Auflagefläche 114 gelegt werden und der Schlitten 111 mit dem Schneidegut entlang dem Kreismesser 103 geführt werden, um Scheiben von dem Schneidegut abzuschneiden. Nach Beendigung des Schnittvorgangs kann dann auf einfache Weise die Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 gereinigt werden. Dazu kann die Schlittenverriegelung 112 gelöst werden und der Schlitten 111 mit der Auflagefläche 114 um eine Distanz d, beispielsweise im Bereich von 5 - 10 cm, vom Kreismesser 103 weg verlagert werden. Damit kann zwischen Schlitten 111 und Kreismesser 103 ein hinreichend großer Spalt geschaffen werden. Somit lässt sich auch der Bereich zwischen Kreismesser 103 und Schlitten 111 problemlos reinigen und lassen sich beispielsweise Schnittreste, die in den Spalt gelangt sind, entfernen.For use of the disc cutter 101 thus cutting material can be placed as usual on the support surface 114 and the carriage 111 are guided with the cutting material along the circular blade 103 to cut off slices of the material to be cut. After completion of the cutting process can then be easily cleaned the slicing machine 101. For this purpose, the carriage lock 112 can be released and the carriage 111 with the bearing surface 114 can be displaced away from the circular blade 103 by a distance d, for example in the range of 5 to 10 cm. Thus, between carriage 111 and circular blade 103, a sufficiently large gap can be created. Thus, also the range between Circular knives 103 and slide 111 easily clean and can be, for example, cut remnants that have got into the gap, remove.

In der Figur 2 ist schließlich eine weitere Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Scheibenschneidemaschine dargestellt. Insbesondere ist der Fig. 2 eine Aufsicht auf eine Scheibenschneidemaschine 201 mit Schneideeinrichtung 202 und Kreismesser 203 zu entnehmen. Die Scheibenschneidemaschine 201 entspricht weitest gehend der Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 der Figur 1. Daher werden im Folgenden lediglich die Unterschiede zur Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 der Fig. 1 erläutert.In the FIG. 2 Finally, another embodiment of a slicing machine according to the invention is shown. In particular, the Fig. 2 to take a top view of a slicing machine 201 with cutter 202 and circular blade 203. The slicing machine 201 largely corresponds to the slicing machine 101 of FIG. 1 , Therefore, in the following only the differences to the slicing machine 101 of Fig. 1 explained.

Zu erkennen ist zunächst, dass ein Schlitten 201 auf einer Verschiebestrecke 215 um eine Distanz d in Richtung einer ersten Drehachse x des rotierenden Kreismessers 203 von diesem weg verschoben ist.It can be seen first that a carriage 201 is displaced on a displacement path 215 by a distance d in the direction of a first axis of rotation x of the rotating circular blade 203 away from it.

Eine Besonderheit der Ausführungsform der Scheibenschneidemaschine 201 gemäß Fig. 2 gegenüber der Scheibenschneidemaschine 101 der Fig. 1 besteht darin, dass der Schlitten 211 drehbar an der Verschiebestrecke 215 gelagert ist. Dazu ist ein Befestigungspunkt 216 vorgesehen, mit dem der Schlitten 211 in die Verschiebestrecke 215 verdrehbar eingreift. Somit kann der Schlitten 211 um den Befestigungspunkt 216 bzw. um eine zweite Drehachse Z entlang einer senkrecht zur Drehachse Z befindlichen horizontalen Ebene A rotiert werden. Voraussetzung für die Rotation ist jedoch, dass der Schlitten 211 an keinen weiteren Elementen der Scheibenschneidemaschine 201, insbesondere dem Kreismesser 203 oder einer Anschlagplatte 205, anstößt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Distanz d, um die der Schlitten vor Rotation verschoben wird, hinreichend groß gewählt wird. Mit anderen Worten kann der Schlitten 211 zunächst in seine Reinigungsposition entsprechend der erforderlichen Distanz d vom Kreismesser 203 weg verschoben werden. Somit kann Raum geschaffen werden, der eine Rotation des Schlittens 211 ermöglicht.A special feature of the embodiment of the disc cutting machine 201 according to Fig. 2 opposite the slicing machine 101 of the Fig. 1 consists in that the carriage 211 is rotatably mounted on the displacement path 215. For this purpose, an attachment point 216 is provided, with which the carriage 211 engages rotatably in the displacement path 215. Thus, the carriage 211 can be rotated about the attachment point 216 or about a second rotation axis Z along a horizontal plane A perpendicular to the rotation axis Z. However, the prerequisite for the rotation is that the carriage 211 abuts no further elements of the slicing machine 201, in particular the circular blade 203 or a stop plate 205. This is achieved by the distance d, by which the carriage is displaced before rotation, is chosen sufficiently large. In other words, the carriage 211 can first be moved away from the circular blade 203 in its cleaning position according to the required distance d. Thus, space can be created that allows rotation of the carriage 211.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass der Schlitten 211 um die zweite Drehachse Z um bis zu 90° aus seiner Normallage, d. h. aus der Lage, in der Schneidegut geschnitten wird, in eine Reinigungslage verschoben wird. Somit kann der Schlitten 211 in seiner Reinigungslage noch leichter gesäubert werden. Insbesondere kann auch die in der Normallage dem Kreismesser 203 zugewandte Stirnseite des Schlittens 211 problemlos zu Reinigungszwecken erreicht werden. Nach Abschluss der Reinigungsarbeiten kann dann der Schlitten 211 wieder aus seiner Reinigungslage in die Normallage gebracht werden. Um die Reinigungsarbeiten noch weiter zu vereinfachen, kann der Schlitten 211 in seiner Reinigungslage temporär fixiert werden. Dazu ist am Schlitten 211 unterseitig ein Rastmittel 217, insbesondere ein geeignet geformtes Federelement, angeordnet. Entsprechend der Reinigungslage ist eine Ausnehmung 218 an einer Stützeinrichtung 210, auf der der Schlitten 211 gestützt wird, angeordnet. Somit kann das Rastmittel 217 in der Reinigungslage in die Ausnehmung 218 einrasten und den Schlitten 211 temporär fixieren.In this embodiment, it is provided that the carriage 211 about the second axis of rotation Z by up to 90 ° from its normal position, d. H. from the position in which cutting material is cut, is moved to a cleaning position. Thus, the carriage 211 can be cleaned more easily in its cleaning position. In particular, the face of the carriage 211 facing the circular blade 203 in the normal position can also be easily achieved for cleaning purposes. After completion of the cleaning work then the carriage 211 can be brought back from its cleaning position in the normal position. In order to simplify the cleaning even further, the carriage 211 can be temporarily fixed in its cleaning position. For this purpose, a latching means 217, in particular a suitably shaped spring element, is arranged on the carriage 211 on the underside. Corresponding to the cleaning layer, a recess 218 is arranged on a support device 210 on which the carriage 211 is supported. Thus, the locking means 217 engage in the cleaning position in the recess 218 and temporarily fix the carriage 211.

Um ein zu weit reichendes Verdrehen des Schlittens 211 zu vermeiden, ist des Weiteren ein Begrenzungsstück 219 vorgesehen. Das Begrenzungsstück 219 ist außenseitig am Schlitten 211 angeordnet und schlägt bei Erreichen eines gewünschten maximalen Rotationswinkels an der Stützeinrichtung 210 an und verhindert dadurch ein weiteres Verdrehen des Schlittens 211.In order to avoid too far reaching rotation of the carriage 211, a limiting piece 219 is furthermore provided. The limiting piece 219 is arranged on the outside of the carriage 211 and strikes upon reaching a desired maximum angle of rotation of the support means 210 and thereby prevents further rotation of the carriage 211st

Um des Weiteren während des Scheibenschneidens ein Verschieben und/oder ein Verdrehen des Schlittens 211 auszuschließen, ist ebenfalls eine Schlittenverriegelung 212 vorgesehen. Die Schlittenverriegelung 212 fixiert den Schlitten 211 wiederum in seiner Normallage. Dazu greift in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Schlittenverriegelung 212, wenn der Schlitten 211 sich in seiner Normallage befindet, in die Stützeinrichtung 210 ein.Further, to preclude sliding and / or twisting of the carriage 211 during slicing, a carriage lock 212 is also provided. The carriage lock 212 fixes the carriage 211 again in its normal position. For this purpose, in this exemplary embodiment, the carriage lock 212 engages in the support device 210 when the carriage 211 is in its normal position.

Abschließend sei angemerkt, dass der Befestigungspunkt 216 nicht mittig im Schlitten 211 angeordnet ist. Vielmehr ist der Befestigungspunkt in Randnähe des Schlittens 211 angeordnet. Somit bedarf es nur einer geringen oder eventuell gar keiner Verschiebestrecke d, um die Rotation des Schlittens 211 zu ermöglichen.Finally, it should be noted that the attachment point 216 is not arranged centrally in the carriage 211. Rather, the attachment point is located near the edge of the carriage 211. Thus, it requires only a small or possibly no displacement path d to allow the rotation of the carriage 211.
