The eighth cylinder 64 is normally in a standby state in which the rod 64a is advanced to bring the pair of holding bodies 61 closer to the lower side of the tray 17, and when separating the internal organs Wa, After the body 61 holds the internal organ Wa, the rod 64a is retracted, so that the swing arm 63 can be rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2 by a preset angle about the axis RC. ing. Then, by rotating the swing arm 63, the position of the pair of sandwiching bodies 61 is displaced downward, and the connecting portion of the internal organ Wa sandwiched by the pair of sandwiching bodies 61 is torn off from the abdomen, and the internal organs Wa Can be separated from the abdomen.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that, in FIGS. 9 to 14, reference numerals are given only to main parts, and other reference numerals are omitted.

  In the sea cucumber W viscera removal processing operation by the system 1 of the present embodiment, first, when the tray 17 of the intermittently driven transport device 5 is stopped at the supply position SP, the sea cucumber W is placed on the stopped tray 17. Place. Then, the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W is placed is transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction by driving the transport device 5.

  When the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W is placed reaches the open position PA, the driving of the transport device 5 is stopped and the tray 17 is stopped. When this tray 17 is stopped at the laparotomy position PA, the sea cucumber W laparotomy process is performed.

  In the laparotomy process of the sea cucumber W, when the tray 17 stops at the laparotomy position PA, the rod 27a of the first cylinder 27 advances and the first plate 26 presses the sea cucumber W from above. Then, the rod 30a of the second cylinder 30 moves forward, and the tip of the cutting blade 22 rises. Then, while the tip of the cutting blade 22 reaches the rising end, it passes through the opening 17d from the bottom to the top, appears on the opening 17d, and contacts the lower part of the sea cucumber W abdomen. Further, when the tip of the cutting blade 22 reaches the rising end, the blade 22a of the cutting blade 22 cuts the abdomen of the sea cucumber W from below. Next, when the tip of the cutting blade 22 reaches the rising end, the rod 31a of the third cylinder 31 moves forward and moves the cutting blade 22 to the right in FIG. Accordingly, the abdomen of the sea cucumber W located above the opening 17d is cut and incised by the blade 22a of the cutting blade 22 over a predetermined length. The state when the incision of the sea cucumber W abdomen by the cutting blade 22 is finished is shown in FIGS. In FIG. 10, the rising position of the cutting blade 22 is exaggerated, and the position of the rising end of the cutting blade 22 is set so as not to penetrate the sea cucumber W vertically by the cutting blade 22.

  When the laparotomy process of the sea cucumber W is completed, the rod 30a of the second cylinder 30 is retracted, so that the tip of the cutting blade 22 moves diagonally to the left in FIG. 4 and sunk below the opening 17d. Next, the cutting blade 22 returns to its original position by retracting the rod 31a of the third cylinder 31. In addition, the front-end | tip of the cutting blade 22 in this embodiment moves with the movement locus | trajectory of a parallelogram whose upper side is located in the right side rather than a lower side seeing from the conveyance direction upstream. Further, by retracting the rod 27a of the first cylinder 27, the first plate 26 returns to the original position.

  Next, the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W that has completed the laparotomy process is transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction by driving the transport device 5.

  When the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W is placed reaches the open position PA, the driving of the transport device 5 is stopped and the tray 17 is stopped. When this tray 17 is stopped at the outflow position PB, the internal organs outflow processing of the sea cucumber W is performed.

  In the internal organs outflow process of the sea cucumber W, when the tray 17 stops at the outflow position PB, the rod 45a of the fourth cylinder 45 advances and the second plate 44 presses the sea cucumber W from above. Then, the rod 48a of the fifth cylinder 48 moves forward, and the tip of the nozzle 41 rises. Then, while the tip of the nozzle 41 reaches the rising end, it passes through the opening 17d from the bottom, appears on the opening 17d, and enters the inside of the abdomen from the open portion of the sea cucumber W. Next, when the tip of the nozzle 41 reaches the rising end, the injection hole 41a of the nozzle 41 also reaches the inside of the abdomen. A state in which the nozzle 41 has reached the rising end is shown in FIGS.

  And high pressure water is injected from the injection hole 41a by supplying high pressure water to the nozzle 41 in the state in which the front-end | tip part of the nozzle 41 reached the rising end. Thereby, high-pressure water is supplied to the inside of the abdomen of the sea cucumber W, the abdomen of the sea cucumber W expands, and the overflowing water is discharged out of the abdomen. At this time, the internal organs Wa housed in the abdomen of the sea cucumber W also go out of the abdomen together with water and hang down below the opening 17d (FIG. 8).

  Then, when the internal organs outflow process of the sea cucumber W is completed, the supply of high-pressure water to the nozzle 41 is stopped, and the rod 48a of the fifth cylinder 48 is retracted, so that the raised nozzle 41 is lowered and returned to its original position. . Thereby, the front-end | tip part of the nozzle 41 leaves | separates from internal organs Wa. Further, by retracting the rod 45a of the fourth cylinder 45, the second plate 44 returns to the original position.

  Next, the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W that has finished the visceral outflow processing is placed is transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction by driving the transport device 5.

  When the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W is placed reaches the separation position PC, the driving of the transport device 5 is stopped and the tray 17 is stopped. When the tray 17 is stopped at the separation position PC, the internal organ separation process of the sea cucumber W is performed.

  In the internal organ separation process of the sea cucumber W, when the tray 17 stops at the separation position PC, the rod 55a of the sixth cylinder 55 advances and the third plate 54 presses the sea cucumber W from above. Thereby, the sea cucumber W is pressed from above, and most of the internal organs Wa of the sea cucumber W are surely suspended below the opening 17d. Then, the rods 62a of the pair of seventh cylinders 62 move forward, and the pair of sandwiching bodies 61 are closed, so that the internal organ Wa hanging below the opening 17d can be moved between the opposing surfaces of the pair of sandwiching bodies 61. Hold it. FIGS. 13 and 14 show a state in which the pair of sandwiching bodies 61 are closed.

  When the pair of sandwiching bodies 61 are closed, the rod 64a of the eighth cylinder 64 is retracted, and the swing arm 63 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. The pair of sandwiching bodies 61 are displaced downward, pulling the viscera Wa hanging down below the opening 17d downward, tearing the connecting portion with the abdomen of the viscera Wa from the abdomen, and separating the viscera Wa from the abdomen.

  When the visceral separation processing of the sea cucumber W is completed, the rods 62a of the pair of seventh cylinders 62 are retracted, the pair of holding members 61 are opened, and the separated internal organs Wa are dropped to a predetermined position. The rod 64a of the 8-cylinder 64 moves forward and the pair of clamping bodies 61 returns to their original positions. Furthermore, when the rod 55a of the sixth cylinder 55 moves backward, the third plate 54 returns to the original position. It should be noted that the timing for opening the pair of holding bodies 61 holding the internal organ Wa can be changed according to the design concept or the like.

  Next, the tray 17 on which the sea cucumber W that has been subjected to the visceral separation process is placed is transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction by driving the transport device 5, and the processed sea cucumber W that has undergone the visceral separation process at the discharge position OP is obtained. It is transferred to the discharge chute 12 and discharged to a predetermined external position.

  Thus, according to the system 1 of the present embodiment, if the sea cucumber W is placed on the tray 17 at the supply position SP, the sea cucumber W is intermittently transported by the transport device 5 and the sea urchin W is opened by the laparotomy device 6. Since the outflow of the internal organ Wa by the outflow device 7 and the separation of the internal organ Wa by the separation device 8 can be performed in this order, the internal organ Wa of the sea cucumber W can be efficiently removed.

  Moreover, according to the conveying apparatus 5 of this embodiment, each operation | movement can be reliably performed by conveying the sea cucumber W intermittently smoothly.

  Furthermore, according to the laparotomy apparatus 6 of the present embodiment, the abdomen of the sea cucumber W placed on the tray 17 can be cut open reliably and easily.

  Furthermore, according to the outflow device 7 of this embodiment, the internal organs Wa housed in the abdomen of the opened sea cucumber W placed on the tray 17 can be reliably and easily discharged out of the abdomen. .

  Further, according to the separation device 8 of the present embodiment, the internal organs Wa of the sea cucumber W that has been subjected to the outflow processing of the internal organs Wa placed on the tray 17 can be reliably and easily separated from the abdomen.
