Description

The invention relates to a device for cutting of foods, for example fruits, vegetables, cheese or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are various devices for cutting life known known under the name Grocery Slicer, Le Bensmittelefre or the like are known. With these well-known Devices can cut strips or slices food is or can be grated, cf. DE 39 26 013, DE 39 26 014, DE 69 60 3065, DE 44 15 529 and EP 0 579 231.

A vegetable slicer is known from DE 44 15 529 cher edge parts, between which a contact surface for the material to be cut and one above and parallel to the line tread mounted cutting knife are arranged. In the The contact surface is transverse to the direction of movement of the cutting guide tes a row of knives with vertical, parallel ones and oriented with the cutting edges against the material to be cut Knives arranged. This vegetable slicer can only be used in Cross-section rectangular strips can be produced. The material to be cut has to be placed on the contact surface again and again put on and moved against the knife.

EP 0 579 231 shows a vegetable cutter with a first base plate, a horizontal cutting knife above half of the base plate and a series of vertical ones  the base plate arranged behind the cutting knife the cutting edges of the row of knives against the Are oriented. On the base plate is a Slidably arranged carriage, which is a cylinder for inserting the material to be cut. In the feed direction of the material being cut is perpendicular to the first ground plate and behind the row of knives a second base plate arranged on one plate with another row vertical knife is arranged. With another out the two are equipped with the knives Plates rotatably connected. With the help of this vegetable slicer cubes or cuboids in general can be produced. adversely with this well-known vegetable slicer is the big construct expenditure required. A continuous planing operation is not possible. A major disadvantage of this well-known vegetable Hobels is that when moving the material to be cut back in the starting position the material to be cut is reversed via the knife must be returned in the opposite direction, taking the risk there is damage to the material being cut.

The object of the present invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, that a continuous cutting operation for manufacturing a variety of products with three-dimensional shape is possible, and the structure of the device is simplified is.

This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1 solved.

In the simplest form, the device is so out leads that it can be operated manually, in such a way that the material to be sliced by hand on the closed, d. H. in returning, steady cam track is feasible. because at it is particularly useful if this cam track  is circular because this shape is a steady and therefore fluid hand movement, similar to or equal to a stirring movement, made possible without, by permanently changing the angles the wrist to permanently stress it. Because of the anatomy of the human hand, something is grasped Cuttings are held in a rotationally fixed manner, d. that is, on the slideway guided cutting material performed relative to this, apart from of possible slight lateral tipping movements in the hand joint, a purely translational movement. If on the Cam track z. B. two ver at an angular distance of 90 ° set rows of vertically towering, paral to each other spaced blades (for strip cutting) and one horizontal blade (for slicing) with laxative are arranged slot, so when driving over the first ten rows of blades cut strips, which if continued towards the next row of blades themselves can be moved approximately in parallel. The blades ideally, this following row is exactly right perpendicular to the cuts of the first row of blades so that the cuts of both rows at a right angle cross. On the horizon following the curved track then a blade section takes place, so that as Cuttings are cuboid pieces.

Another advantage is an ergonomic movement barrel that has a joint in comparison to conventional rubbing gentle use (especially of the wrist) light. The cutting process also takes place in such a way that no "stairs" have to be run over, but the Movement in this direction also continuously continued and after cutting the material to be cut in the same level continues.

It is this way, depending on the blades used orders and blade shapes a variety of three-dimensional  Cuttings possible. So when using at least two wavy horizontal blades, each with because associated discharge slots a net-like cut good structure can be achieved. Furthermore, the clippings by combining appropriate blades in certain Angular relationships also the shape of pyramids, abge blunted pyramids, wavy stripes, cubes, rhombuses, oblique cuboids, trapezoidal cuboids, lenses, wedges, Circular rings, circular ring segments, circular sections and di received various types of polyhedra.

Further advantageous embodiments of the fiction result in a device with manual guidance of the material to be cut themselves from the subclaims 3-11.

In a group of further embodiments of the Er the cutting material is guided by hand replaced a rotary actuator in which a circular sliding plate is arranged in a housing which a De Ckel in which a piece of pipe for introducing Cuttings are rotatably mounted, either the sliding plate with a fixed cover or the cover with a fixed one standing slide plate is rotatably arranged, and this Rotary movement via a gear unit to drive the pipe section ckes is transferred in which the material to be cut relative to the sem is rotatably held.

By rotating the pipe section and thus the Cuttings held in it in a rotationally fixed manner are also here intersecting cuts reached. Are on the slide plate for example two rows of vertical blades for Strip cutting at an angle of 90 ° to each other arranged, so result in a gear ratio nis the rotary movement of the cover or slide plate and tube cuboid cut pieces. These can also be found at  other gear ratios and angular distances of the Knife rows can be achieved if the condition: Winkelge speed of the pipe section against cover = Winkelge Speed of sliding plate against cover × 90 ° / α maintained , where α is the angular distance between the rows of knives he is.

From these considerations, another result results part of this embodiment of the invention, which be therein stands that with one and the same sliding plate with given NEN angular distances of their knife rows when changing the Ü Gear ratio of clippings under different spatial shape can be generated.

Advantageous further developments of the invention directions with rotary drive result from the remaining Un dependent claims.

A prerequisite for this cutting result, however, is that the material to be cut remains rotationally fixed during movement along the annular surface 19 of the sliding plate ( 6 ), that is to say it maintains its respective rotational position. This precondition is given in this embodiment as in the embodiments according to FIGS . 2-5 and 12 by hand since the material to be cut is held by hand (and not rotated about its own central axis).

Fig. 2 shows a device 20 , which differs from the device of FIG. 1 in that a circular segment-shaped cover 22 is provided, which is equipped with circular, downwardly pointing edges 24 , 26 , the edge 14 and Grip over ring 16 of sliding plate 6 . So that the cover 22 is guided on the Gleitplat te 6 and can run over the ring surface 19 forming the slideway. In the area of the annular surface 19 of the sliding plate 6 between the edge 14 and the ring 16 , the cover 22 has a recess 28 into which the material to be cut can be guided. The cover 22 reduces the risk of injury. The handling of this device 20 corresponds to that of the device 2 explained above, with the difference that the material to be cut leads into the recess 28 and takes the cover 22 with it when it rotates.

FIGS. 3a to 3c show a device 21, which differs from the device according to Fig. 2, that under the cover 22, a sliding element 23 is arranged, which on reduction of the passage area of the recess is pivotally mounted in the region of the recess 28. The sliding element 23 is biased by a spring 25 in the closing direction and has a concave curvature 27 on its front. Through the sliding element 23 , the passage opening of the recess 28 automatically adapts to the dimensions of the material to be cut. In order to facilitate the opening of the sliding element 23 , a tongue 29 protrudes upward therefrom.

FIG. 4 shows a device 30 which differs from the device according to FIG. 1 in that the sliding plate 6 is provided with a rotatably attached, circular cover 32 which overlaps the sliding plate 6 in the manner of the cover 22 according to FIG. 2 and has a recess 34 analogous to the recess 28 according to FIG. 2, into which the material to be cut can be inserted. The sliding plate 6 sits on a collecting tray 36 and is provided with a handle 38 .

FIGS. 5a and 5b show a device 31 which thereby det under failed by the apparatus of FIGS. 1-3 in that on the sliding plate 6 three approximately radially wegstrebende support arms 33, 33 ', 33 "are arranged on the underside transverse corrugations 35. With these support arms, the slide plate 6 can be placed on the edge of a vessel, the transverse corrugations 35 ensuring a good hold, the support arm 33 has an extension 37 which serves as a handle, and the slide plate 6 of this device 31 has four wave-shaped ones Horizontal blades 39, the training is apparent from the cross sectional view according to Fig. 5b, and which are each net in an angular distance of 90 ° to each other angeord. Below each meter 39, a laxative is slit for the cuttings, which it is not clear from the drawing. With such a knife arrangement, net-like cut material structures can be produced.

Figs. 6a and 6b show a device 40 for cutting food, in which the slide plate is rotatably arranged in a housing 42 provided with a lid 44. 6 The sliding plate 6 can be driven by means of a rotary crank 46 . In the cover 42 , a circular recess 48 is formed, in which a cylindrical tube piece 50 is rotatably arranged.

In the pipe section 50 , the material to be cut is inserted and held in a rotationally fixed manner relative to it, for example by means of tips or short cutting edges 52 , which allow a push of the material to be cut before but do not allow twisting within the pipe part 50 . The rotary crank 46 is connected to the rotatable pipe section 50 via a gear 54 . Ses gear 54 comprises a drive gear 56 arranged on the crank axis and driven by the crank 46 , which meshes with a second gear 58 which engages with a ring gear 60 seated on the tube piece 50 and which has the same size as the gear 56 , The Ge gear 54 is arranged in a gear box 61 which is integrally formed with the lid 42 . In this Ge gear box 61 is an open upward for the introduction of the material to be clipped cover 62 which surrounds the pipe section 50 .

When turning the crank 46 , the sliding plate 6 rotates with the cutting elements (not shown) under the rotatable, positionally fixed pipe section 50 , which experiences the same direction of rotation and the same angular velocity as the sliding plate 6 by means of the gear 54 , such that the material to be cut is at the rotation of the cutting elements bezüg Lich the two rows of knives 10 , 12 (see Fig. 1, in Fig. 6a and 6b not shown) is rotated by 90 °, so that lattice-like cutting lines are generated as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. Since the pipe section 50 and with it the introduced material to be cut rotates during the cutting process, but at the same time a feed force must be exerted on the material to be cut, an auxiliary device shown in FIG. 6c is provided. This consists of egg nem handle 51 and a rotary plate 53 rotatably mounted thereon. This turntable 53 is placed on the material to be cut from above and rotates with it during the cutting process, wherein a pushing force can be exerted on the material to be cut by pressure via the handle 51 . A arranged in the center of the turntable 53 tip 59 prevents slipping from the material to be cut. The auxiliary device can conform to conventional, known principles of cutting residues and can be guided both on the tube piece 50 and on its cover 62 .

FIGS. 7a and 7b show an apparatus 70, unlike the apparatus of Fig. 6, the slide plate 6 rotatably mounted on the cuttings receiving container 44 angeord net in and provided with a handle 74 and the cover 42 rotatable by means of the crank 46 is the rotation of which is again transmitted via the gear 54 to the pipe section 50 . In this embodiment, the pipe section 50 rotates not only about itself, but also about the crank axis. In order to be able to exert a feed force on cutting material introduced into the pipe section 50 , the crank 46 can be plugged onto the shaft 57 in a form-fitting manner (for transmitting a torque), but at the same time also axially displaceable, which is symbolized by the double arrow 55 . The crank 46 is net angeord when pushed onto its shaft 57 that it lies exactly over the pipe section 50 . On the underside of the crank 46 , a turntable 53 is arranged with a tip 59 which, like in the hand-held device ( FIG. 6c) of the previous exemplary embodiment, rests from above on the material to be cut inserted into the tube piece 50 .

The transmission ratio of 2: 3 results from the number of teeth on the gear wheels 94 and 97 and from the fact that the belt 96 lies on the pulleys 93 and 91 of the same diameter formed in one piece with the gear wheels 97 and 94 . The gear ratio of this gear 92 can be changed simply by placing the belt 96 on the pulley 95 of the gear 94 . Since the diameters of the pulleys 93 and 95 behave as 2: 3, the gear ratio of the gearbox is now 92 1: 1. In the sectional view according to FIG. 9a, reference number 98 is a horizontal wave-shaped cutting knife and reference number 99 is a laxative called slot.

The device 100 shown in FIGS . 16a and 16b differs from the device 90 explained above in that its gear 102 has a fixed gear ratio 2: 3.

In addition, a peeling device for the material to be cut is provided here. This peeling device consists of a pivotable about a perpendicular de lid-fixed axis 142 lever 144 , which is equipped at its end with a blade 146 with a vertical cutting edge. A tension spring 148 biases the lever 144 in Rich direction of the center of the pipe section 50 so that the blade 146 comes into contact with the periphery of the cut material inserted into the pipe section 50 . When driven before device 140 , the pipe section 50 rotates and with it the material to be cut, so that its surface is peeled. The shells are discharged through a discharge slot 150 into a container ter 152 .

The slide plate 6 shown in FIG. 14 permits the production of polygonal discs with its cutting element arrangement. In the selected exemplary embodiment, the cutting element arrangement of three is in each case at an angular distance of 120 ° are arranged, perpendicularly from the sliding plate 6 upstanding blade 152 with the same ra Dialen distance from the center of the slide plate 6 and made of a perpendicular between two blades 152 arranged, hori zontal cutting knife 8 with an invisible discharge slot located underneath. If material to be cut is guided over this arrangement of cutting elements, the result is triangular disks 154 with the same side length, as symbolically shown in FIG. 14. With the reference numeral 156 , the remaining sections are designated. When using four vertical blades 152 with an angular distance of 90 ° there are square disks. If six vertical blades 152 are used at an angular distance of 60 ° each, hexagonal discs result.
