JPH0568473A - Automatic stripping machine for scallop - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject device consisting of a specific constitution and capable of dividing scallop into the body and shell and simply taking out only the stripped body, automatically without consuming man power and without impairing high-quality value thereof. CONSTITUTION:Size of scallop 1 fed by a belt conveyer, etc., is judged with a judging device 10 and the scallop 1 is put on a turntable 2 and simultaneously fixed with a plate 3. Then the turntable 2 and the plate 3 are rotated and simultaneously a groove 7 of the scallop is detected with a sensor 4 and a hollow shaft 6 is moved into the groove 7. The tip 9 of the hollow shaft 6 is successively put into the groove 7 of scallop 1 and a blade 5 is taken out from the interior of the hollow shaft 6 and inserted into the inside of the shell. Further, the body is cut off from the shell with the blade 5 and then the scallop 1 on the turntable 2 is fed to a net 11 to separate the body from the shell and only the stripped body is housed into a vessel 12 under the net 11.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for automatically making scallops.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A person uses a blade or a spatula to manually make a large amount of freshly sliced scallops, which are bivalves.

[0003]

In this case, a huge amount of man and money were spent to use manpower, and scallops were peeled off.

[0004]

The present invention has been invented to eliminate these drawbacks, which will be described with reference to the drawings.

A discriminator (10) for discriminating the size of the scallop (1) sent in as shown in FIG. 1 is provided.

A turntable (2) on which the scallops (1) are placed and a plate (3) for fixing the scallops are provided.

A hollow shaft (6) in which a sensor (4) for detecting the groove (7) of a scallop and a blade (5) for making a flesh come in and out.
To provide.

A net (11) for separating the stripped meat and the shell is provided.

The tip portion (9) of the hollow shaft (6) is trapezoidal, and the entrance / exit (8) of the blade (5) is provided in the vertical direction of the side surface.

[0010]

5 and 6 are sectional views of an embodiment of the device of the present invention.

The scallop (1) sent by the belt conveyor is sorted by the discriminator (2). Substandard scallops are stored in the container (14).

The selected scallops (1) are placed on the turntable (2) and, at the same time, fixed on the plate (3).

Simultaneously with the fixing, the turntable (2) and the fixing plate (3) start to rotate, and the groove (7) of the scallop is detected by the signal of the sensor (4) to stop the rotation at the same time The hollow shaft (6) is moved in the vertical direction to detect the center of the scallop groove (7).

When the center of the groove (7) is detected, the hollow shaft (6) moves laterally, and when the tip portion (9) of the hollow shaft (6) enters the groove (7) of the scallop, the blade (5) ) Comes out from the entrance (8).

In FIG. 6, when the blade (5) comes out, the blade (5) becomes an arc shape due to the relation of the entrance and exit (8), so that the blade (5) can move toward the inside of the shell, so You can cut it off more beautifully.

When the blade (5) separates the body and the shell and further advances, the blade (5) stops moving when the blades (5) on both sides come into contact with each other.

When the blade (5) stops moving, the plate (3) for fixing the scallop (1) is released. At this time, the scallop (1) naturally opens, but the blade (5) also functions as a spring, which has the effect of speeding up the opening.

At the same time when the plate (3) for fixing is returned, the blade (5) is returned.
Then, the hollow shaft (6) also starts to return, and when the return to the original position is completed, the scallop (1) on the turntable (2) is sent to the net (11).

Due to the slope between the turntable (2) and the net (11), the scallops (1) roll under the net (11) while the scallop (1) rolls over the net (11). Container (12)
The shell is placed in a container (13) outside the net, and the peeled meat can be taken out.

By repeating the above steps, scallops can be exfoliated.

[0021]

As described above, the scallop automatic stripping machine of the present invention can separate the scallops that have been sent into the shell and the shell easily without taking human hands. . Further, by making the blade (5) arc-shaped, the body is cut off against the shell, and the commercial value is not impaired.
