DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0041] Doner kebab robot has movement mechanism in four different axes. First axis (1a) provides rotation movement of cutting knife connected to cutting rod in doner kebab cutting head. Rotating knife provides cutting of doner kebab sensitively. Second axis (1b) provides vertical movement of cutting rod. Third axis (1c) provides horizontal movement of cutting rod. Fourth axis (2) is a rotating mechanism and provides doner kebab skewer to rotate. Electric panel contains carcass, in which sections providing movement of horizontal and vertical axes are included, and a part of rotation mechanism, which is the fourth axis. Rotation mechanism consists of rotation engine (1d) included within carcass and engine shrinking mechanism (1e), gear and timing belt (2b) providing transfer of physical movements between engine (1d) and doner kebab skewer (3), sheet metal sections (2d), which provide connection between engine (1d) and doner kebab skewer fixing part (2a) and in which timing belt passes through.

[0042] Positions of the engines, diameter and height of doner kebab may continuously be read by the help of scanner and/or laser (optionally) and position sensors (optionally). Mentioned four axes move synchronously by using information received from laser (optionally) and position sensors (optionally) and while providing doner kebab cutting, they allow software changing of doner kebab cutting beam width, doner kebab cutting thickness and cutting speed. Hence, user company may cut the doner kebab in different measurements over touch screen (6) according to the presentation it will make. Touch screen may optionally be positioned in three different forms. Options, in which touch screen is in the side, front and hand terminal, are presented for the purchasers' tastes. Laser sensor, which is installed optionally and measures diameter and height of doner kebab, should be positioned below cutting rod (1a) and special design aluminum body consisting of two parts is protected from negative effects such as high temperature, oil and water.

[0043] Full automatic doner kebab robot is designed in four parts as carcass group (1), chassis group (4), furnace group (5) and tray group (7) by taking into consideration usage and carriage easiness. Vertical (1b) and horizontal (1c) axes, touch screen (6), electric panel (1f), engines (1d), drivers, (PLC/PIC) control system are included within carcass group (1). All mechanic sections are protected within carcass (1) and carriage, technical service and cleaning facility are provided. Furnace movement mechanism (4a), doner kebab skewer fixer part (2a) are included within chassis group. Furnace (5) and adjustable heat shields (5b) are included within furnace group. Two parts of trays are included in tray group. Invention full automatic doner kebab cutting robot consists of 4 different groups as carcass group (1), furnace group (5), chassis group (4) and tray group (7). 3 groups except for tray group may not be disassembled.

[0044] Furnace (5) provides the movement of getting closer and away from doner kebab by linear operating ball-bearings and 12 mm diameter shafts. Hence, distance of furnace (5) to doner kebab is adjusted and sensitive cooking is performed. By means of adjusted heat shields (5b) configured on the furnace, equal heat distribution and energy saving are provided. Furnace (5) is designed as a block consisting of three radiant, it has two different types as electric and gaseous (NG-LPG).

[0045] Invention full automatic doner kebab robot cutting capacity is max. 25 kg. Doner kebab meat diameter is max. 28 cm and doner kebab meat height is 45 cm. Cutting rod is two types as right and left and cutting diameter may be adjusted to be max. 10 degrees.

[0046] Width, length and height measurements of full automatic doner kebab cutting robot are designed in an optimum way by taking in consideration narrow working areas. Weight of robot is kept at minimum by taking into account the carriage and usage easiness. It is kept away from negative impacts such as oil and high temperatures since doner kebab rotation engine (1d) is included in carcass group (1). Working area is increased by means of mentioned design and easiness is provided in terms of cleaning and technical maintenance. Blower manufactured from plastic material durable to high temperature is placed in the connection between cutting rod and carcass and leakage of water and oil into the carcass is prevented and an aesthetic appearance is gained by the robot.

[0047] Fuse time limit relay, contactor, emergent stop cork equipment and electric safety are provided in electric panel (1f) placed within carcass (1). Mechanic sections of robot are manufactured from sheet metal from chrome AISI 304 quality material and profiles in different measurements.
