A blade 5, a pair of transport belts (belt transporters) 6, 7 provided on both sides of the guide rod 4 for sandwiching the animal small intestine and transporting the animal intestine, and are disposed on both lower sides of the guide rod 4, A part thereof is constituted by two horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9 for cutting oil and fat which overlap and contact with each other just below the guide rod 4.

The guide rod 4 has a hook 4a at its tip 4a, and is formed by a pipe from the tip to the rear end so that fluid such as water or hot water can be passed from the base side. Above the guide rod 4, an incision rotary blade 5 is installed in parallel with the guide rod 4, and a slit is formed on the guide rod 4 side such that the tip of the rotary blade 5 sinks into the center side of the guide rod 4. A groove 4b is provided. The guide rod 4 has its root side supported by an upper wall of a casing (not shown) of the apparatus main body 1 via a bracket or the like, and its height and its position in the front-rear direction are adjusted through appropriate adjusters (not shown). It has been made adjustable.

The cutting rotary blade 5 is driven by a drive motor (not shown).
Is fixed to the distal end portion of the horizontal rotation shaft 11 of the intestine A, and is in the vertical direction through the rotation shaft 11, and
Is rotated in the direction opposite to the transport direction, that is, in the direction of the arrow in FIG. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11a denotes a bearing.

On both sides of the rear portion of the guide rod 4, the transport belts 6,
Drive pulleys 6a and 7a for driving the drive pulley 7 are provided, and the drive pulleys 6a and 7a are driven by a drive motor (not shown) that rotates in the reverse direction as indicated by an arrow in FIG. The drive pulley 6 is provided on both ends of the guide rod 4.
a and 7a and driven pulleys 6b and 7b rotated via the conveyor belts 6 and 7 are provided in a state of being tensioned by tension pulleys 12a and 12b. Horizontal rotating blades 8, 9 are fixed to the lower end of 7c. Thereby, the horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9 are rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the belt transport bodies 6 and 7 by the drive motor. That is, the transport belts 6 and 7 and the horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9
It is adapted to be rotationally driven by a table drive motor (not shown).

Next, the operation of the animal small intestine incision processing apparatus configured as described above will be described.

Water is stored in the water tank 2, and the end of the massive intestinal tract A put in the water tank 2 is manually pushed into the tip of the guide rod 4.
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the intestinal tract A is sandwiched between the transport belts 6 and 7, and is sequentially transported backward. At this time, the intestinal tract A is incised by the incision rotating blade 5 rotating in the conveyance direction in the middle of the conveyance. When the intestinal tract A is pushed into the guide rod 4, dirt in the intestinal tract A is washed with water or hot water discharged from the tip of the guide rod 4. Further, in the intestinal tract A, at the same time as the incision, the thin grease a integrated with the intestinal tract A is conveyed by the two horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9 which rotate inwardly. It is cut off while approaching the center side, and falls into the water tank 2.

In this case, two horizontal rotating blades 8 and 9 for cutting oil and fat are used as a means for cutting oil and fat a, and these horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9 are partially cut at a position below the guide rod 4. Are arranged so as to overlap and come into contact with each other, so that when the blades of the two horizontal rotary blades 8 and 9 rotate while contacting each other, an effect of actively shaving off the oil film that tends to adhere to the both blades can be obtained. As a result, the surface of the blade is always kept fresh and the sharpness is maintained for a long period of time. As a result, the grease film adheres to the horizontal rotary blade as in the conventional case, and the sharpness of the blade deteriorates immediately. Therefore, the troublesome oil removal such as interrupting the work and pouring hot water on the horizontal rotary blade to drop the grease film, for example, occurs. No work is required.

The transport belts 6, 7 move away from the guide rod 4 toward the drive pulleys 6a, 7a from the tension pulleys 12a, 12b. Without being wrapped around, and falls smoothly onto a chute 13 provided below.
As described above, the incision operation is performed immediately and continuously until the intestinal tract A and the fat / oil a are incised and excised over the entire length.

The amount of the oil / fat ablated can be adjusted by moving the guide rod 4 back and forth.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment, in which a resin having a slightly larger diameter than the horizontal rotary blade 7 is provided below the lower horizontal rotary blade 7 among the horizontal rotary blades 6 and 7 described above. Provided with a protective disk 14 made of a metal. The protection disk 14 has the effect of preventing injury of the hand and fingers by the horizontal rotary blade 7. Even if this protection disk 14 is provided,
The effect of guiding the intestinal tract A to the center is almost the same as when the protective disc 14 is not attached.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, a guide rod inserted into the animal small intestine, a rotary blade positioned above the guide rod to cut the animal small intestine, and provided on both sides of the guide rod And a pair of belt conveyors for holding the animal small intestine and transporting the animal small intestine to the rear, in which two cutting edges are used to cut and contact two lower edges of the guide rod with a part of the cutting edge overlapping and contacting. Since the horizontal rotary blades are arranged, it is possible to simultaneously cut the animal small intestine and cut off the oil and fat portion, and also, because the blades of both horizontal rotary blades rotate while contacting, attach to both horizontal rotary blades. The oil and fat film to be removed is positively removed to prevent a decrease in the sharpness of the blade, thereby improving the working efficiency. In addition, an effect of guiding oil and fat toward the center of the guide rod by the two horizontal rotary blades can be expected.

Further, the horizontal rotating blade for oil and grease cutting is supported on the rotating shaft of a rotating body for rotating the belt conveying body, and the horizontal rotating blade is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the belt conveying body, whereby the belt conveying is performed. The drive of the body and the drive of the horizontal rotary blade for oil and fat cutting can be shared by one drive source, and the overall drive mechanism can be simplified.

Further, if a protective disk having a diameter slightly larger than that of the rotary blade is provided below the lower horizontal rotary blade of the oil and grease cutting horizontal rotary blade, the disk can be used to hold hands and fingers. Protection can be achieved.
