DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing apparatus for processing whether to be thawed, semi-thawed, raw or the like, and more particularly to a trunk comprising a mantle and a fin to be deburred. The present invention relates to a trunk opening device for cutting a trunk (including the description of the claims, and the trunk is a part like this).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-11931 and Japanese Patent Publication No.
There is one such as described in US Pat.
The squid processing devices described in these documents fix the squid so that it does not move, then insert a jig serving as a guide, and then move the blade along the guide, and the trunk,
There is a step of cutting the part (joining part) where the built-in part integrated with the arm is joined to the mantle, and separating the body part and the arm part with the built-in part. There is a step of pulling out the built-in part and the arm part from the inside of the trunk part (in this specification, the term "pulling down" means the step including the description of the claims), and further, the remaining trunk part is opened. There is a trunk opening process, and these processes are sequentially performed in a discontinuous state. Specifically, by moving the blade forward, the joint is cut, then the blade is moved backward to pull out the blade from the inside of the body, and then the pot removing step and the body opening step are sequentially performed. That is.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned conventional configuration, there are the following problems. First, after fixing the squid so that it does not move, insert the rod-shaped jigs that serve as guides on both inside sides of the squid, and then advance the blade along the guides. The part cannot be incised. That is, there is a disadvantage that the trunk cannot be completely opened to the tip of the mantle. In addition, in order to take the center of the body opening, there is a disadvantage that the jig must be accurately inserted into the body part and the mounting posture must be strict. In addition, there is a drawback that a long time is required for the processing and the working efficiency is low. Furthermore, in the acupuncture point removing process and the trunk opening process, since the fin is grasped and pulled, a device for grasping the fin is required separately, so the device becomes complicated, and the fin is cut off in the previous process In this case, there is a disadvantage that the order of the working steps is limited.

[0004] The present invention has been made based on such a point, and an object of the present invention is to achieve a large reduction in processing time and, consequently, an improvement in working efficiency by efficiently and accurately opening a body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a trunk opening device that can be achieved.

Another object of the present invention is to simplify the apparatus and to provide a body opening apparatus that does not limit the order of work steps.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a trunk opening device in which a cutter for incising a trunk to be removed is controlled in a vertical position as the cutter advances. The center guide attached to the cutter has a notch at the front end, and the front end is inserted into an upper mantle on the upper side of the body to be opened and advances. At this time, it is conceivable that the cutter is attached to the trunk opening portion, the trunk opening portion is reciprocally movable and freely movable up and down, and the position in the vertical direction is controlled by the guide member as the vehicle advances. Further, it is conceivable that the trunk opening portion can be reciprocated by a swingable swing link. It is also conceivable that the cutter is made of a rotatable blade. Further, it is conceivable that the guide member is formed so as to be inclined upward along the traveling direction of the trunk opening portion, and the shaft of the trunk opening portion is slidably engaged with the lower surface of the guide member. Further, it is conceivable that a holding means for pressing any trunk portion is provided when the trunk opening process is performed by the trunk opening portion. It is also conceivable that the pressing means presses the squid from below. Further, it is conceivable that the pressing means is brought into a standing state or a falling state by the rotation of the rotatable roller cam. Further, the upright state or the overturned state of the holding means is a member that holds the holding means contacting the roller cam, a pinion provided on a shaft to which the holding member is attached,
It is conceivable that this is done by a rack that meshes with the pinion.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the separation of the arm and the torso, which are integrated with the built-in unit, and the acupuncture point are continuously performed while the separating / acupuncture member is advanced. This operation is performed continuously without changing the posture of the object to be placed. At the time of opening the trunk, the front end of the center guide attached to the cutter is inserted into the upper outer membrane on which the trunk is opened and proceeds. Since the center guide is under tension in the upward direction, if the center guide is advanced in this state, the cut of any trunk will always go to the vertex, and the cutter will advance linearly, so eventually The cut is straight toward the top. Therefore, the center of the trunk opening can be accurately set even if the trunk part is placed somewhat rough and the tip is bent.

[0008]

A swing link 65 is connected to the slider motor 63. The swing link 65 is driven by the slider motor 63.
Is moved from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the broken line in FIG. 7, or from the position indicated by the broken line to the position indicated by the solid line. A body opening 67 is attached to the tip of the swing link 65, and reciprocates along a slide shaft 69 by the operation of the swing link 65.

The body opening 67 has the following structure. First, there is a slider member 71 to which cutter holding members 73 are attached. The cutter holding member 73 is a coil spring 7
While being urged upward in the figure by 5, 75,
The coil springs 75 are mounted to be vertically movable within the range of elastic deformation. A shaft 77 is rotatably attached to the cutter holding member 73. A pair of cutters 79, 79 are attached to the shaft 77 on both sides of the cutter holding member 73. Whether or not the pair of cutters 79,
The body opening processing is performed on the body part 17b of the body 7. The cutters 79, 79 rotate as follows. That is,
There is a drive motor 81, and the output shaft 8 of the drive motor 81 is provided.
A pulley 83 is fixed to 1a. On the other hand, another pulley 85 is fixed to the shaft 77, and a belt 87 is wound around the pulleys 83 and 85. 88 is a tension roller. Therefore, when the drive motor 81 rotates, the pulley 83, the belt 87, the pulley 8
Via 5, the shaft 77 rotates, whereby the pair of cutters 79, 79 rotates.

A guide member 89 is provided, and the vertical position of the trunk opening 67 is controlled by the guide member 89. That is, as described above, the cutter holding member 73 is provided with the coil springs 75 and 7.
5, the shaft 77 is locked on the lower surface of the guide member 89, whereby further elevation is restricted. Since the guide member 89 has a shape that is inclined upward as shown in FIG. 7, the restriction position via the shaft 77 changes, whereby the vertical position of the trunk opening 67 is controlled. Will be. Center guides 91 are attached to the lower surface of the cutter holder 73 so as to correspond to the cutters 79. 92 is a torso grip.

When the trunk opening process is performed by the trunk opening part 67, the trunk part 17b of the squid 17 is pressed by the trunk pressing means 93 from below. That is, there is a pair of pressing rollers 95, 95, and the pair of pressing rollers 95, 95 are attached to the holding member 97.
The holding member 97 is attached to a shaft 99. The shaft 99 is rotatably supported in a rotatable manner, and a pinion 101 is fixed to one end thereof. The pinion 101 is engaged with the rack 103. A roller cam 105 is rotatably disposed below the holding member 97 so as to act on an action portion 107 attached to the holding member 97.
The rotation of the roller cam 105 raises and lowers the holding member 97 and thus the holding rollers 95, 95, and, due to the action of the rack 103 and the pinion 101, becomes upright as shown by a solid line in FIG. Like falling.

The center guide 91 has a distal end 91a.
Are cut out, and the distal end portion 91a is inserted into the upper envelope 17b 'on the upper side of the opening of the trunk to advance.
When the distal end portion 91a is inserted into the upper mantle 17b ', the center guide 91 is attached to the cutter holding portion 73 which is urged upward, so that the body portion 17b always has an upward tension. Take it. For this reason, if the center guide 91 is advanced in this state, the cut of the trunk 17b always goes to the apex, and the cutter 79 advances in a straight line. It becomes. Therefore, even if the trunk portion 17b is placed somewhat rough and the tip is bent, the center of the trunk opening can be accurately taken.

Now, the squid 17 is replaced with the squid holder 2 of the saucer 1.
A configuration for improving the workability of the mounting work by inclining the tray 1 when mounting to the mountings 1 and 21 will be described. As described above, one end of each of the plurality of trays 1 is attached to the chain conveyor 13 via the hinge 15, and the other end is in a free state. A pan roller 108 is rotatably attached to the free end. As shown in FIG. 13, a tray roller guide 109 is provided, and the tray 1 moves in a horizontal state with the tray roller 108 placed on the tray roller guide 109. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the receiving roller guide 109 is installed from the position indicated by the reference numeral A to the vicinity of the entrance at the position indicated by the reference numeral B.
Therefore, when the receiving roller 108 comes off the receiving roller guide 109, the other end of the receiving tray 1 is in a free state.

When the other end of the tray 1 is free as described above, it is then raised by the lifting means 110 so as to be tilted by a predetermined angle as shown in FIG. The lifting means 110 has the following configuration. First, there is a drive motor 111, and a rotary drum 113 is connected to the drive motor 111.
A lifting arm 117 is connected to the rotating drum 113 via a connecting member 115. And the drive motor 1
By rotating 11, the push-up arm 117 is rotated via the rotating drum 113 and the connecting member 115, thereby pushing up the free other end of the saucer 1 and tilting it by a predetermined angle. I do. This operation is performed at the position indicated by the reference symbol C in FIG. 14, and in this state, 17 mounting operations are performed. In other words, as shown in FIG. 12, the squid 17 is inserted from above into the separation / pot removal jigs 39, 39.
Since the tray 1 is in an inclined state, the insertion work of the worker standing on the left side of FIG. 12 is extremely easy. When the other end of the tray 1 is lifted, the tray roller 108 is placed on the roller guide 119, and the state is maintained within the extended range of the roller guide 119. Receiving roller 108 is roller guide 1
FIG. 15 shows a state when the camera is placed on the top of the camera. That is, the roller guide door 121 is lifted up while being pushed open against the spring force of the coil springs 123, 123, and is directly placed on the roller guide 119.

Then, the tray 1 moves while being inclined along the roller guide 119, and as shown in FIGS.
At a position (indicated by a reference symbol D in FIG. 14) deviating from the position 19, the tray 1 is put on the lowering arm 125. The lowering arm 125 is connected to the driving motor 111 described above.
By rotating the pan, the pan 1 is shifted from the inclined state to the horizontal state. And saucer 1
The horizontal state is maintained by engaging the locking portion 127 provided at the other end of the block with the block 129. At the same time, the receiving roller 108 is placed on the receiving roller guide 109, and moves to the above-described separation / pot removal step in this state.

By the way, as already described in the separation / point removal step, the separation / point removal member 37 is moved forward to separate the arm 17a and the body 17b of the squid 17 and further move the same. Along with this, the torso removing process is performed by pushing the body 17b forward. Then, it is necessary to return to the initial position again from the forward position,
This is achieved by the return guide 131 shown in FIG. That is, a jig roller 133 is provided on the side of the separation / pot removal member 37, and the jig roller 133 is provided.
Will come into contact with the return guide 131. Since the return guide 131 is laid so as to return the advancing separation / pot removal member 37 to the initial position, the tray 1 is moved to be forcibly returned to the initial position via the jig roller 133. Will be. Note that, in FIG. 16, arrows indicate the transfer direction of the chain conveyor means 3.

The operation will be described based on the above configuration. First, the plurality of trays 1 are moved by the chain conveyor means 3 by driving the conveyor motor 5. At first, as shown at a position A in FIG. 14, the robot moves in a horizontal state, and when it reaches a position shown at B, the other end is in a free state. Next, the other end is raised by the raising means 110, and it becomes an inclined state. Next, at the position indicated by the reference numeral C, a worker performs a squid mounting operation of 17 squids. In other words, the squid 17 is inserted into the separation / pot removal jigs 39 of the separation / pot removal member 37. The squid 17 is supported by the pan 1 with the separation / pot removal jigs 39 and 3.
9 and is transported as it is. Then, at the position indicated by the reference symbol D in FIG. 14, the state shifts from the inclined state to the horizontal state, and moves to the position where the separation / pot removal step is performed.

When the tray 1 comes to the position where the separation / pot removal step is performed, the pan 1 stops and the squid holding means 41
Is activated to lower the arm holding member 49 and the torso holding member 51 to hold the arm 17a and the torso 17b of the squid 17 respectively. Next, the drive unit 25 is activated, and the separation / pot removal member 37 is advanced. Thereby, the squid 17 is separated into the arm portion 17a and the trunk portion 17b by the separation cutters 39b, 39b of the respective separation / pot removal jigs 39, 39.
At that time, the squid 17 is built in the arm 17a. From there, the separating / point removing member 37 is further advanced to perform a point removing process, and the body portion 17b is pulled forward together with the separating / point removing member 37 and moves.

Next, the body pressing means 93 is activated, and presses the 17 sword 17b from below. In this state, the trunk opening means 61 is activated, and the squid 17 is cut open by the pair of cutters 79, 79. At the time of opening the torso, center guides 91, 91 are attached to the cutters 79, 79, and the distal end portion 91a of the center guide 91 is inserted into the upper envelope 17b 'on the upper side of the opening to advance. I do. The tip part 91a is the upper mantle 1
When it is inserted into 7b ', since the center guide 91 is attached to the cutter holding portion 73 urged upward, the tension is always applied to the body portion 17b in the upward direction.
For this reason, if the center guide 91 is advanced in this state, the cut of the trunk 17b always goes to the apex, and the cutter 79 advances in a straight line. It becomes. Therefore, even if the trunk portion 17b is placed somewhat rough and the tip is bent, the center of the trunk opening can be accurately taken.

Thus, a series of processes, that is, a separation / pot wiping process and a trunk opening process are continuously completed. As a result, the trunk 17b falls forward, and the arm 17a falls forward. Thereafter, the same processing is repeated.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, in the opening of the squid,
The tip of the center guide attached to the cutter is inserted into the upper mantle on the upper side of the opening of the trunk and proceeds,
Since the center guide is tensioned upward, the center of the trunk can be accurately positioned even if the trunk is placed somewhat rough and the tip is bent. There is. In addition, since the cutter is not guided by the rod-shaped jig inserted into the mantle as in the related art, the body can be reliably opened to the tip of the mantle.

Also, no matter which trunk is placed roughly, the center of the trunk can be reliably set, so that the working time is greatly reduced.

Furthermore, since it is not necessary to grasp and pull any fins during the torso opening process, the apparatus can be simplified accordingly, and those with or without fins can be targeted. Therefore, there is an effect that the order of the operation steps is not limited.

The processing apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the shape of the notch at the tip of the center guide attached to the cutter does not matter.

The control of the position of the body opening in the vertical direction is not limited to mechanical control by the guide member, and control means such as control by a computer and electrical control is not limited.

The structure for reciprocating the trunk opening portion may be, for example, a telescopic cylinder, other than the one using the oscillating link as shown in the figure, and it does not matter.

The cutter for opening the trunk may be a fixed blade. However, if a rotatable round blade is used, it is possible to make a reliable incision with a light load.

In opening the trunk, the trunk does not necessarily have to be pressed from below, and the type of the pressing means does not matter.

The structure of the separating / point removing member is not limited as long as it separates the squid into the arm portion and the body portion, moves the body portion with the advance, and removes the pot. Further, in the above embodiment, the separating / point removing member is constituted by a pair of left and right separating / point removing jigs. However, the separating / point removing member need not be a pair, and may be a single member.

The configuration of the squid holding means is not limited as long as it can appropriately hold the squid.

Further, the tray may not be inclined at a predetermined angle when it is mounted, but may be in a horizontal state through any transfer and processing.

The structure for forcibly returning the separation / pot removal member from its advanced position to the initial position is not limited.

[0038]

As described in detail above, according to the squid opening device according to the present invention, accurate opening of the skull can be efficiently performed, the working time is greatly reduced, and the working efficiency is improved. Can be. Further, since the opening of the trunk is continuously processed as it is after the acupuncture point is removed, there is no need to grip and pull the fin as in the related art. For this reason, the device is simplified accordingly, and those with or without fins can be targeted.
There is an effect that the order of work steps is not limited.
