PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food cutting device capable of continuously performing cutting process of putting a plurality of cuts into only a boiled fish cake out of the cake with a plate, at one time at a prescribed interval in a transportation passage with a belt conveyor.SOLUTION: A food cutting device is installed in the middle of a belt conveyor transportation passage, and simultaneously forms a plurality of cuts on a processed food by rotationally driving a plurality of disk-like rotary blades having the same diameter in the same direction as a transportation direction and at a peripheral end speed higher than a belt conveyor transportation speed, the rotary blades being coaxially fixed at an equal interval and in parallel with each other to a central roll extending in a direction orthogonal to the transportation direction. A belt conveyor extending along the transportation passage including from a cutting starting point of the food to a cutting end point thereof has a belt surface which allows the food to slide in a travelling direction by an energization force with the rotary blades from the cutting starting point at which the disk-like rotary blades start to cut into the food, and projections to which the food sliding on the belt surface abuts are integrally provided on the belt surface at every predetermined equal interval.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】板付きのままの蒲鉾のみに対して一度に所定間隔で切り目を入れる切断処理を、ベルトコンベアによる搬送経路中で連続的に行うことが可能な食品切断装置の提供。【解決手段】ベルトコンベア搬送経路途中に設置され、搬送方向と直交方向に延びる中心ロールに等間隔で平行に同軸状に固定された複数枚の同一径の円盤状回転刃を駆動装置によって搬送方向と同方向に、その周端速度をベルトコンベア搬送速度より高速に回転駆動させて加工食品に同時に複数の切り目を形成する食品切断装置において、前記食品の切断開始点から終了点までを含む搬送経路にわたるベルトコンベアは、前記食品が円盤状回転刃の食い込み始めた切断開始点から該回転刃による付勢力によって進行方向へスライド可能なベルト表面を有し、予め定められた等間隔毎に、ベルト表面を滑る前記食品が当接する突条が該ベルト表面に一体的に設けられているものとした。【選択図】 図1
