    摘要: A food slicing system having a main frame includes a blade reciprocating assembly, which further includes a support frame, a rotating cutting blade mounted to the support frame, a motor mounted on the support frame, and a support shaft operatively coupled to the main frame at opposite ends thereof. The support shaft is coupled to an upper portion of the support frame and is configured to support the support frame and permit pivotal movement of the support frame. A drive shaft is operatively coupled to the main frame and is rotationally driven by an actuator. A plurality of linkage elements are configured to operatively couple the drive shaft to a lower portion of the support frame, where the linkage elements reciprocally move the blade reciprocating assembly between a slicing position and a clearance position, and where the support frame pivots about the support shaft during the reciprocal movement.

    摘要: A bread slicer includes an controller configured to cause claws to reach into an end-face securing portion, which is elongated in the direction of a connecting axis, of a loaf introduced into a feed chute, cause the loaf to be transported into a receiving chute over a blade gap, and cause a slicing blade to travel into the blade gap multiple times automatically during the transportation in order to cut off one slice from the loaf each time, and the slicing blade then moving fully back out of the blade gap again in order to allow each cut-off slice to be transported onward into the receiving chute and to allow the rest of the unsliced loaf to be transported onward over the blade gap. The receiving chute is above the feed chute. The connecting axis between the feed and receiving chute is vertically inclined by at least 30°.
