Device for cutting dough

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for cutting dough, including, a conveyor for conveying an elongated or endless dough piece in an essentially horizontal direction; a slide, arranged translatable in the essentially horizontal direction of conveyance of the conveyor, a cutting blade, extending horizontally and essentially perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the conveyor, and coupled to the slide, translatable in an essentially vertical direction, a moment, having an arm extending essentially vertically, with a first arm part extending above a fulcrum, and a second arm part extending below the fulcrum, the first arm part coupled to the slide, and the second arm part coupled to a first drive for rocking the arm about the fulcrum, and a second drive, for translating the cutting blade in the essentially vertical direction with respect to the slide.

主权项

1. A device for cutting dough, comprising,
a conveyor for conveying an elongated or endless dough piece in a direction with at least a horizontal component; a cutting blade; a slide, arranged translatable in the direction of conveyance of the conveyor;wherein the cutting blade is coupled to the slide, translatable in a vertical direction;
a first arm extending vertically, with a first arm part extending above a fulcrum, and a second arm part extending below the fulcrum, the first arm part coupled to the slide; a drive, wherein the second arm part is coupled to the drive for rocking the first arm about the fulcrum; and wherein the drive is operably configured to translate the cutting blade in the vertical direction with respect to the slide; and further wherein the vertical position of the fulcrum is adjustable, with respect to the coupling of the first part of the arm to the slide, with respect to the coupling of the second part of the arm and the drive, or with respect to the coupling of the first part of the arm to the slide and with respect to the coupling of the second part of the arm and the drive.
