Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a squid-plucking device for producing so-called cuttlefish.

[Conventional technology]

This type of squid-chopping device was developed in the 1970s.
23073, Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-33186, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 47-24716, and the like are known.

These surume tearing machines are literally for tearing surume, and when the surume is inserted from one side between two rollers and comes out on the other side, a triangular blade with a pointed tip cuts the center part of the surume. This method involves repeatedly stabbing and pulling downward.

[Problem to be solved]

However, the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-23073 has the disadvantage that the center part of the closure is rapidly pulled downward, resulting in the same phenomenon as if both ends of the closure in the width direction are fixed, resulting in the closure being torn off in the middle. .

The device described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-33186 solves this problem by curving the slit that supplies the triangular blade into an inverted U shape, and tearing both sides of the slit in the width direction in the same direction as the triangular blade moves. I tried to solve the problem by doing this, but it still broke in the middle and the part had to be torn out by hand.

The blade described in Utility Model Publication No. 47-24716 has a serrated rotary blade with the blade plate attached to the central arm positioned further forward in the rotational direction than the blade plates attached to both arms. The moment when the cutting edge of the plate pierces the meat is created by creating a slight time difference between the center cutting edge and the left and right cutting edges, thereby dispersing and alleviating the resistance at the moment when the rotary blade collides with the meat.

These surume tearing machines are made by cooking, seasoning, and semi-drying (approximately 40% water content) raw squid, then roasting the semi-finished product (so-called Daruma squid) between upper and lower hot plates, rolling it as appropriate, and then rolling it out to form a grilled body. It is also used for tearing (hereinafter referred to as soft tearing).

However, depending on the place of production and type, raw squid may have significantly different flesh and fiber quality from dried squid, such as red squid (purple squid) or ``pine squid,'' or they may be of the same type. Even if the food is not fresh enough, the distribution of moisture is uneven even at the time of grilling, and generally the moisture content is higher in the center and lower closer to the ends.

For this reason, in soft tearing using each of the known squirrel tearing machines mentioned above, it often happens that the triangular blade pierces and tears off only the center portion of the carcass, leaving both side end portions intact. However, rework is forced.

This rework work not only poses problems in terms of production costs and quality, but also in terms of food hygiene control.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a biting device which is effective for use not only in general but also in soft tearing in particular.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention that achieves the above object will be described below based on embodiments.

The nipping and feeding mechanism A connects the driven roller 4 and the movable horizontal plate above the horizontal running part 10' of the endless driving flat belt 10 stretched between the driving roller 3 and the rear end guide part 6' of the fixed horizontal plate 6. The horizontal running portion 1 of the endless driven flat belt 11 stretched between the rear end guide portion 9′ of the plate 9
1' are placed opposite to each other with a required distance h between the two horizontal running parts 10' and 11' to sandwich the squid body a.

The clamping adjustment mechanism A' is connected to the endless driven flat belt 1.
Bolts 7 are installed at both ends of the fixed horizontal plate 6 which causes both ends of the movable horizontal plate 9 protruding outward from the endless drive flat belt 10 to protrude outward from the endless drive flat belt 10.
7', and is fitted at a constant height so as to be vertically movable and to maintain a required distance between both plates 9 and 6.

A series of serrated chopping blades C each having a blade length longer than the width of the squid body a are each connected to the drive gear 1.
7, 17' and a pair of left and right endless chains 19, 19' rotated by driven gears 18, 18'. both belts 10,
The eleven horizontal running sections 10' and 11' are sequentially driven to pass through the forward position of the delivery end h' with the above-mentioned interval h.

In the above, the holding and feeding mechanism A operates intermittently by connecting the intermittent feeder 27 to the drive roller 3, and feeds the squid carcass a intermittently by a set length.

The series of serrated stripping blades C are associated with each other so as to strip off the protruding portion of the squid body a when the cuttlefish body a protrudes the predetermined length from the delivery end h' and stops.

The clamping adjustment mechanism A' is configured to hold the movable horizontal plate 9 at a certain height by the coil springs 13, 13' in a resilient state or simply by its own weight, so that the movable horizontal plate 9 and the fixed horizontal plate are When the pressure of the squid body a passing between the belts 3 and 6 is thick, the movable horizontal plate 9 is automatically lifted and the squid body a is held and fed. A predetermined clamping force necessary for feeding can be forcibly obtained.

A series of serrated plucking blades C have a clamping feeding machine A at its sending end h' to send out a set length of the carcass a.
A plurality of chains are attached at predetermined intervals to endless chains 19, 19' rotated by drive gears 17, 18 and driven gears 17', 18' so that the protruding portions of Since it is operated at a constant timing with the holding and feeding mechanism A, there are advantages such as a simple configuration and easy timing.

The above-mentioned squid carcass a is stripped by the serrated stripping blade C using the serrated stripping blade C and the above-mentioned delivery end.
By installing a necessary support member D between the delivery end h' and the subsequent part of the part protruding from the delivery end h', the sawtooth can be mounted on the support member D. The protruding portion is removed more reliably by the shape removing blade C.

[Effect]

With the squid body a firmly sandwiched between the endless driving flat belt 3 and the endless driven flat belt 4, a set length portion protruding from the delivery end h' of both belts 3 and 4 is cut with a serrated blade. Since the serrated cutting blade C has a blade length longer than at least the width of the squid body a, it does not leave both sides of the squid carcass as is the case with the conventional squid carcass a. Peel off evenly over the entire width of a.

〔Example〕

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

A is a clamping and feeding mechanism installed on the machine frame B, and it is constructed as follows.

Left front and rear struts 1 and 2 established on the top of machine frame B
Both ends of a driving roller 3 and a driven roller 4 are pivotally supported between the right front and rear pillars 1' and 2'. Stays 5 protruding from the rear surfaces of the left and right rear struts 2, 2',
A fixed horizontal plate 6 is hung horizontally between the left and right ends of the fixed horizontal plate 6, and bolts 7, 7' are tightened with nuts 8, 7'.
8', both left and right ends of the movable horizontal plate 9 are fitted so as to be vertically movable.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an endless drive flat belt stretched between the round bar-shaped rear end guide portion 6' of the fixed horizontal plate 6 and the drive roller 3, and 11 denotes the round bar-shaped rear end guide portion 9' of the movable horizontal plate 9. An endless driven flat belt stretched between the driven roller 4 and both belts 10 and 11,
Horizontal running portions 10' and 1 on the upper and lower peripheries, respectively.
1' are opposed to each other with a required distance h to sandwich the squid body a. The body a is inserted into the insertion end h' between the belts 10 and 11 from the front outside of both the rollers 3 and 4, and the body a is inserted into the insertion end h' between the belts 10 and 11.
While being held between 0' and 11', it is fed to the delivery end h' at the interval h.

A' is a clamping adjustment mechanism attached to the clamping and feeding mechanism A, which controls the movable horizontal plate 9, which maintains a distance corresponding to the height of the tightening nuts 8, 8', from the fixed horizontal plate 6. When the squid body a has a thick wall and is fed by the horizontal running parts 10' and 11' of both belts 10 and 11, the squid body a is moved horizontally through the belts 10 and 11. The plate 9 can be passed through while being automatically lifted against pressure, and during this time a predetermined clamping force can be forcibly obtained by both horizontal running parts 10' and 11'.
Coil springs 13, 13' are interposed between spring tightening nuts 12, 12' screwed onto the upper ends of the bolts 7, 7' and upper surfaces of both ends of the movable horizontal plate 9.

14, 14' are the distance between the driven roller 4, which rotates via gears 15, 16 as the drive roller 3 rotates, and the drive roller 3, and more specifically, the horizontal running portion 10' of both belts 10, 11, 11' at the insertion end h' according to the wall thickness of the squid body a; by turning the adjustment handles 14, 14',
The driven roller 4 moves up and down by expanding and contracting the spring 15'. Of course, the vertical movement is caused by the gear 15,
It is set to occur within the meshing range of 16.

C is a series of serrated chopping blades whose length is at least longer than the width of the squid body a;
This is for the purpose of piercing the protruding part of the fuselage a with each tooth and stripping it all at once over the entire width of the protruding part of the fuselage a, each time it protrudes from the delivery end h' for a set length. Similarly to the left and right pair of drive gears 17, 17', the left and right pair of driven gears 18,
A large number of series of sawtooth-like plucking blades C are attached at required intervals to a pair of left and right endless chains 19, 19' which rotate by a pair of left and right chains 18'.
Attached by spanning between the above delivery end
Each of the serrated stripping blades C sequentially rotates and passes through a required outward facing position of h', and the above-mentioned stripping operation is performed at that time.

The serrated plucking blade C has both chains 19, 19'
An L-shaped base 21 is attached to the mounting square material 20 suspended horizontally in between.
It is attached by screwing.

D is a serrated plucking blade C that rotates between the delivery end h' and the serrated plucking blade C, more precisely, the delivery end h' and the above-mentioned outward facing required position of the delivery end h'. This support member D is horizontally supported by left and right support pieces 22, 22' standing up behind the left and right rear columns 2, 2',
The flat upper surface thereof is made to coincide with the upper surface of the horizontal running part 10' of the endless drive flat belt 10, and the drive flat belt 10 is connected to the round bar-shaped rear end guide part 6' of the fixed horizontal plate 6.
In order to protect the traveling portion that curves along the curve from the outside, it has a curved surface 23 that is shaped along the curved portion.

Reference numeral 24 denotes an electric motor installed at the inner bottom of the machine frame B, which drives the clamping and feeding mechanism A and the serrated plucking blade C.

That is, the electric motor 24 has variable speed pulleys 25, 2
5', a feed rate determining device 26, an intermittent feeder 27, etc., to the drive roller 3 through a drive mechanism, and a speed change pulley 28 coaxial with the speed change pulley 25' to the drive gear 17. As a result, both belts 10, 11 and both chains 19, 19', that is, the nipping and feeding mechanism A and the serrated plucking blade C are driven.

The speed ratios of the speed change pulleys 25, 25', and 28 are freely adjusted by the speed change pulley adjustment handle 29, and the serrated plucking blade C is driven at a constant speed at the adjusted speed. 11 is set by the feed amount determining device 26, and intermittent feeding is performed by intervening the intermittent feeder 27 by the feed amount.

The unfolded roasting body or the squid body, that is, the squid body a, is moved from the insertion end h' of the clamping and feeding mechanism A to the space between the horizontal running portions 10' and 11' of both belts 10 and 11, that is, at the interval h, in the unfolded state. When you insert
It is held between the horizontal running parts 10' and 11' and is intermittently fed by a set length at a predetermined speed, and is stopped when the set length is projected from the delivery end h' with the succeeding part placed on the support member D. Repeat the action.

On the other hand, the serrated plucking blade C has both chains 19,1
9', each time it projects, and when it stops, it pierces the entire width of the projecting portion and rips it off all at once.

In the figure, reference numeral 30 is a chute that carries the stripped product to the outside of the machine frame B, and 31 is a rotating brush whose tip is positioned within the travel path of the serrated stripping blade C. This is for removing fluff, etc. that gets tangled or attached to the tips of each tooth of C.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the squid carcass is fed while being sandwiched between the endless drive flat belt and the driven flat belt, and the cuttlefish carcass is fed from the sending end of both belts. Each time the length protrudes, the unprotruded part is pinched between the two belts and removed with a serrated plucking blade.In particular, the serrated plucking blade has a length longer than the width of the squid's body, so it can be used to remove the unprotruded part of the squid's body. It can be torn off uniformly over the entire width from the center to the left and right ends, and unlike the conventional shime tearing machine described above, there is no chance of leaving the ends on both sides.

Therefore, a well-balanced product can be produced without leaving both ends of the squid body as is the case in the past.

Moreover, the present invention can reliably and efficiently carry out scraping with a simple configuration.

In particular, the clamping and feeding mechanism has a driven roller and a rear end guide part of the movable horizontal plate above a horizontal running part of an endless driving flat belt stretched between the drive roller and the rear end guide part of the fixed horizontal plate. Horizontal running parts of endless driven flat belts stretched between the two horizontal running parts are installed facing each other at a required interval, and the interval is such that the squid body is held between the two horizontal running parts, and the fixed horizontal plate The movable horizontal plate prevents both horizontal running parts from retracting, and the above-mentioned clamping is performed firmly, so that even when the protruding part of the squid body is torn off by the serrated chopping blade, there will be no accidental damage. I don't feel like I'm being pulled out by someone else.

Moreover, since the clamping adjustment mechanism allows the movable horizontal plate to move up and down, when the thickness of the squid body is larger than the above-mentioned distance, the movable horizontal plate is automatically pushed up against the pressure, and the above-mentioned belts are leveled. It is capable of passing through the running section while maintaining its grip, and can automatically respond to changes in the wall thickness of the squid body, although within a set range.

Furthermore, when the squid body is torn off with a serrated knife, a necessary support member is installed between the serrated stripping blade and the above-mentioned delivery end, and the subsequent part of the part protruding from the delivery end is By riding on and supporting the support member, the protruding portion can be more reliably removed by the serrated plucking blade.
