Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an engine used as an accompaniment to Western dishes such as beefsteak, and a machine for cutting and forming solid foodstuffs such as potatoes into predetermined shapes.

In the culinary industry, products made by cutting carrots, potatoes, etc. into comb-shaped shapes as shown in Figure 12 are generally called "shadows." Shado is widely used as a garnish for various types of steaks and grilled foods, but traditionally, the production of the above-mentioned shado was done manually by cooks, which was time-consuming and extremely inefficient, and the finished shape was not stable. This had the disadvantage that it was not possible to achieve sharpness if one expected it to be accurate, and that the production cost of the shadow was also high.

The object of the present invention is to provide a molding machine that can efficiently manufacture the shadows by an automatic machine instead of manually, and can manufacture shadows with a good finished shape at a low cost.

Next, the outline of the molding machine of the present invention will be explained. The present invention is suitable for molding solid foods such as carrots, potatoes, and daikon radish (hereinafter referred to as "workpieces"). A cutter that cuts off both ends of the workpiece, a shaft that is arranged to move back and forth on the machine base in preparation for the tip of the workpiece holding pin that holds the centerpiece of the workpiece after both ends are cut off, and a shaft that moves back and forth on the machine base. In order to perform the chamfering, the chamfering device is equipped with a chamfering device disposed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally along the advancing direction of the shaft, and a dividing cutter that divides the workpiece after chamfering into a plurality of pieces along the longitudinal direction of the workpiece. It is characterized by

31b) are inserted in an upright manner one behind the other. The movable blade @C1n'r: The installed tool rest 04) ea is supported by the support frame via the holding mechanism 05), and slides on the front and rear of the tool rest (Foundation) (Foundation), respectively. The pins (31a) (31b) are rotatably provided upright. This sliding pin is guided by the cam groove □□□ which is moved by the cylinder 0, and swings in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the shaft (5), and furthermore, this sliding pin allows the tool rest ( ), the movable blade @ is moved in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shear 7) (5) to adjust the cutting angle t- to the workpiece. The pair of movable blades on the same surface are configured such that their respective blade edges move synchronously toward or away from each other due to the action of the moving piece and sliding plate.

In the molding machine of the present invention, four sets of chamfering devices as described above are arranged in parallel along the advancing direction of the shaft (5).

The respective chamfering devices are installed with a phase shift of approximately 45°, and the chamfering devices are installed with a phase shift of approximately 45°, and the chamfering devices are installed with a phase shift of approximately 45°, and the chamfering devices are installed with a phase shift of approximately 45°. Two movable blades @ (2η) are held in the direction. Figures 10 and 11 are side and rear views showing the mounting positions of the movable blades, (26a) is the first stage, (26a) is the first stage, ( 26b) is the second stage, (26c) is the third stage, (26
d) shows the chamfering devices in the fourth stage.

Such a chamfering device has a movable blade I in the control section (1) as the shaft (5) sends the work forward.
It is activated sequentially by signals from workpiece position detectors (supports) such as limit switches installed in parallel corresponding to 2D, and deforms the workpiece by cutting the outer surface of the workpiece so that the workpiece ridgeline forms an arc shape. It is cut and formed into an octahedron. In addition, the mounting position of the above-mentioned detector (to) is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. This is a detected member that moves together with the actuating lever and comes into contact with and separates from it.

At the rear stage of the chamfering device as described above, there is a dividing cutter 0 that divides the workpiece after chamfering into a plurality of pieces along the longitudinal direction of the workpiece.
A camphor tree is installed. The split cutter C3CJ has a workpiece centering blade (40) on the central axis of the shaft (5). This centering blade is formed into a square cylinder shape, and four split blades ( 4υ are installed radially.This dividing cutter (39) has a cylindrical coring blade that cuts out the center of the workpiece when the workpiece is held by the shear 7) (51 and moves forward). The outer dividing blade (4) is attached to the frame (4) with each cutting edge facing the direction in which the work is fed so that the work is divided into four equal parts. is a split cutter (3
When divided by 1, the forward movement is stopped and it is configured to retreat to the original position.

Next, the operation of this device will be explained. First, start switch c23
When ' is pressed, the work holder circle grabs the work and sends it onto the central axis of the shaft (5). At this time, both front and back ends of the work are cut by the both-end cutting cutter α. Next, the shaft 7N51 projects horizontally from inside the shaft guide (9) toward the workpiece. The work holding pin (6) at the tip of the shaft pierces and holds the work, and at the same time the work holder Uυ opens. The workpiece is advanced by the shaft (5), the upper part of the workpiece is cut off by a cutter I2 (a), and the workpiece is fed into the forming section (3). The workpiece moves forward while being supported by the shaft (5), and four sets of chamfered sheaths [C2] are formed in the forming section (3).
6), the workpiece ridgeline is cut and formed into an arcuate octahedron. Figure 13 shows this chamfering situation step by step.
- This is the passage of O. When the workpiece is chamfered as described above, the workpiece is then pushed into the υ division cutter 431 by the shaft (5). Split cutter 0 yearning is the first
As shown in Figure 3 (e), cut the core of the workpiece with a core removal blade (4υ
At the same time as cutting out the workpiece, the dividing blade (4 blades) divides the workpiece into four equal parts.When the workpiece is divided, the divided workpiece is
As shown in the figure, it is discharged into a tray (8) provided at the bottom of the machine. Of course, at this point, the forward action of the shaft (5) stops, and then it retreats to its original position to complete the molding operation.

As explained above, according to the molding machine of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently manufacture shadows, which were conventionally manufactured manually by a cook, by an automatic machine without having to do so manually. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to form a shadow with a stable finished shape at a low cost, and it is extremely effective in practice.
