Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing squid, more specifically, a squid processing device that handles squid by gripping means and transporting means, opening the head, separating the entrails, and transporting the squid. By opening the squid and moving each part to separate the legs and internal organs, the squid is divided into three parts: the body, legs, and internal organs, and the head is opened.

The present invention relates to a device that automatically performs processing for opening the case.

(Prior art) Traditionally, when processing squid, one worker removes the internal organs by grasping and pulling the body and legs, and then uses a knife to open the body, open the head, and remove the internal organs. This was done by separating the legs and internal organs and preparing them in a state suitable for use.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, when processing squid manually, a large number of workers are required, which is difficult to secure in the current labor shortage, and a large amount of work is required on a daily basis. Processing costs are high due to human rights costs, and processing efficiency and conditions vary due to individual differences in the ability of workers. Furthermore, processing takes a long time and involves many human hands and exposure to the outside air, which not only reduces the freshness of the squid but also causes bacterial contamination, which lowers the quality of the processed product.Moreover, pulling out and removing the internal organs manually results in the internal organs being torn apart. In many cases, internal pollutants and effective substances are washed away, which not only increases the burden of wastewater treatment and increases the number of processing units, but also drastically reduces the utilization rate of effective substances, resulting in waste. There are problems such as economics.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the squid is gripped by a gripping means and sequentially sent to each processing area, so that the head is opened at each area, the body and internal organs are separated, and the squid is The object of the present invention is to provide a device that automatically performs the processes of opening the legs and separating the internal organs.

1. Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) The means of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object includes a gripping means that grips the body side and the leg side of the squid and is sent by a conveying means, and A means for opening the squid's head so that its beak can be seen through, a means for separating the body and internal organs by cutting into the joint between the squid's body and internal organs, and a means for removing the body. A configuration of a processing device that is equipped with a body opening means for cutting into the body and cutting it open to the rear end, and a means for cutting into the boundary between the leg side and the internal organs to separate the legs and internal organs. It is in.

The gripping means on the body and leg sides of this device are for the purpose of fixing the squid so that it does not move during processing.For example, after inserting two support rods into the body of the squid, the squid is held onto the body. If a fixing means is adopted in which the body is lowered and the squid's body is sandwiched from the inside and outside between the suppressor and the support, the squid will be securely fixed by the pinching pressure, and the support will keep the squid's body straight. Since the legs are straightened and the legs hang down, the legs are supported stably, which is convenient for various squid treatments, but fixation is not limited to this method.
If the same function is achieved, it is possible to sandwich the torso and leg side from the outside, or to use vacuum to adsorb it.
Other suitable means may be used, and the grip may be held in a straight line between the torso side and the leg side.

As mentioned above, the transfer means for the gripping means is for the purpose of sequentially positioning one gripping means to each processing section of the cuttlefish to perform processing, and uses a known turning table, conveyor, etc. Attach the required number of gripping means at intervals, temporarily stop the turntable, conveyor, etc. at each processing area using known intermittent operation means, allow the processing to be performed during this time, and when the processing is finished, start the gripping means. Performs the action of advancing to the next processing area.

Squid head opening means is for the purpose of cutting open the squid's head so that the internal beak (commonly known as the crow) can be seen through, and uses fixed, rotating, or vibrating blades, hydraulic cutters, etc. When the squid reaches the cuttlefish, these are fed out by the operating means to cut into the head, and when the head is cut open, they are returned to the standby position.

The means for separating the body and internal organs of a squid is for the purpose of separating the internal organs from the body by cutting the part where the body and internal organs of the squid join together, and can be used with fixed, rotating, or vibrating blades. A hydraulic cutter or the like is used to enter the body using an operating means to cut the joint, and after cutting, the operating means returns the cutter to the standby position. By guiding it, you can cut only the joints without damaging the torso or internal organs.

The method for removing the body of a squid is to remove the body from which the internal organs have been removed from the support, and includes a clamping method in which the tip of the body is held between a receiver and a holding body, an adsorption method using reduced pressure, and other methods. The support means is moved outwardly by the operating means to serve to remove the supported torso from the support.

The squid body opening means is for the purpose of opening the squid body taken out from the gripping means, and uses fixed nine-turn type, vibrating type, etc. blades, hydraulic cutters, etc., and these are operated by operating means to open the squid body. A cut is made at the tip of the cuttlefish, and the rear end is cut open when the squid is taken out, and after the cut is made, the cuttlefish returns to the standby position.

The purpose of separating the squid's legs and innards is to separate the leg side that connects to the innards separated from the body from the innards, and uses fixed, rotating, or vibrating blades or hydraulic cutters.
These are cut into the boundary between the leg side and the built-in part by the operating means to separate the m section and the built-in part, and after separation, the parts are returned to the standby position.

(Function) In the squid processing apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, when the transfer means for feeding the squid gripping means is operated intermittently, each gripping means is fixed at each part where the squid is supplied or processed. After the time has stopped, the action of proceeding to the next part is performed, so the body of the squid is moved to the pair of supports in the grasping means on the body side, where the holding body is open, at the feeding part of the squid. When the cuttlefish is inserted between the front Be support rods, its leg side hangs down to the front side of the receiver in the gripping means, and the squid is supported by the support, and the transfer means is activated to move the squid to the next gripping means. When the squid advances to the processing area, the operating means closes the holding bodies on the body and leg sides, so the body and leg sides of the squid are gripped and fixed by the gripping means, and the squid advances to the head opening area, where the - time stop occurs. do. Then, the head opening means is extended by the operating means toward the head in which a beak called a crow resides, and when the head is cut open so that the beak can be seen, the head opening means is returned to the standby position by the operating means.

Next, when the transfer means is activated, the gripping means advances to the two parts where the trunk and internal organs are separated, and during this time the separating means provided between the pair of support rods is gradually extended by the operating means, separating the trunk and internal organs. After cutting the joint and separating the torso and internal organs, it is returned to the standby position by the operating means.

Next, the gripping means reaches the opening part of the barrel and stops, so at this time, the holding body of the take-out means is raised by the sweeping means to sandwich the tip of the barrel between it and the receiver, and at the same time, the barrel is opened. When the means is raised by the operating means and cut into the underside of the body, and the take-out means is moved outward by the operating means, the body is taken out from the support rod and the underside thereof is cut open from the tip to the rear end. When the opening is completed, the separating member is returned to the standby position by the operating means.

Next, the gripping means stops when it reaches the part where the legs and internal organs are separated, so when the separating means is fed out to the boundary between the legs and internal organs using the operating means, the legs and internal organs are separated, and the internal organs are immediately moved to the receiving member. The legs fall down when the holding body on the leg side opens,
Since the legs and internal organs are separated and housed in separate receiving members, the process of opening the body and head of the raw squid and dividing it into the body, internal organs, and legs is automatically and efficiently performed.
