[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fish processing device for performing a pretreatment of cutting off a fish head together with internal organs, scraping off the remaining internal organs, and washing blood.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As is well known, paste products such as kamaboko and bamboo rings are produced by crushing fish and heating the paste, but prior to such cooking, the head of the fish is cut off and the internal organs are removed. Pre-processing is performed.

In this pretreatment, it is important to efficiently obtain the fish body and improve the yield, and for this purpose, it is necessary to cut off the fish head as small as possible. However, in this case, many of the internal organs remain in the fish, so we resorted to a manual operation to remove the internal organs. However, reliance on manual work for part of the pretreatment resulted in a reduction in work efficiency.

Further, in order to simplify the processing after cutting off the head of the fish, it is sufficient to cut off the internal organs together with the head of the fish, but in this case, the yield became poor.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this way, in the past, in order to efficiently obtain the fish's body and improve the yield, the fish's head was cut off into small pieces, and then the internal organs were pulled out by hand, resulting in low work efficiency. was there. Also, if the internal organs are cut off together with the head of the fish, the pretreatment can be simplified, resulting in higher work efficiency, but in this case, the yield was poor. In other words, the improvement in yield and the improvement in work efficiency are in conflict with each other, and both cannot be satisfied.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to automatically perform a pretreatment in which the head of a fish is cut off together with the internal organs and the remaining internal organs are scraped off to obtain a fish processing apparatus which has a good yield and can improve work efficiency. Especially.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, an annular upper band member is bridged and the upper belt member is rotated, and an annular lower band member is provided below the upper band member. A lower transporting means that is arranged and bridged over and rotates the lower strip member, and an elastic means that narrows a transport path formed between the upper strip member and the lower strip member by an elastic force. A cutting unit that cuts in the direction along the conveyance route in the middle of the conveyance route, and a rotating brush disposed at a position along the conveyance route that passes through the cutting unit are provided.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to this invention, the elastic means narrows the transportation path formed between the upper band member and the lower band member by the elastic force. Therefore, when the fish is guided to this transportation path, the fish is caught. Will be transported in. Further, since the cutting means cuts along the carrying route along the carrying route, the fish sandwiched by the carrying route is cut, and the internal organs of the remaining fish are exposed. Further, since the rotating brush is arranged along the transfer path, it scrapes out the remaining internal organs of the fish being transferred.

A cutting unit 21 is arranged on the upper right of the transport shelf 1. The cutting unit 21 pivotally supports the sprockets 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. Since other sprockets of the same diameter are superposed on these sprockets, a pair of chains can be hung here. One of the pair of chains is the first upper chain 31 and the other is the second upper chain 32. The first upper chain 31 faces the second lower chain 5 on the transport shelf 1, and the second upper chain 32 faces the third lower chain 6 on the transport shelf 1.

Further, a circular saw 33 is pivotally supported substantially at the center of the cutting unit 21, and the circular saw 33 is provided with a second saw along the first upper chain 31 and the second lower chain 5. The shelves 12 are arranged in the notches 34. Further, a rotary brush 35 is pivotally supported on the right side of the center of the cutting unit 21.

A main drive unit 36 is arranged on the cutting unit 21. The main drive unit 36 has a built-in electric motor and drives the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 of the carrier shelf 1 and the first and second upper chains 31 and 32 of the cutting unit 21. To do. That is, the main drive unit 36 is connected to the rotation shafts of the sprocket 2b pivotally supported on the right side of the center of the transport rack 1 and the other four sprockets 3b, and rotates this rotation shaft in the clockwise direction. Each of the four sprockets 3c pivotally supported at the right end of the transport shelf 1 is connected to the rotary shaft of the sprocket 3c, and the rotary shaft is rotated clockwise. Further, the main drive unit 36 is connected to a rotary shaft of a sprocket 29 that is pivotally supported on the right side of the cutting unit 21, and rotates this rotary shaft counterclockwise. As a result, the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 on the transport shelf 1 move to the right on the transport shelf 1, and the first and second upper chains 31, 32 moves to the right under the cutting unit 21.

Further, the main drive unit 36 is also connected to the circular saw 33 in the cutting unit 21, and rotates the circular saw 33.

Further, after the cutting unit 21, a sub drive unit 37 is arranged. The sub-driving section 37 has a built-in electric motor and rotates the rotating brush 35 in the cutting unit 21.

Although a power transmission path from the main drive section 36 to the driven object and a power transmission path from the sub drive section 37 to the driven object are not shown, these power transmission paths are a chain and a gear. Etc. are used.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the cutting unit 21 in more detail. In the figure, the support 41 is fixedly arranged inside the cutting unit 21, and pivotally supports the sprockets 22 and 23. Further, the support body 41 pivotally supports four arms 42, 43, 44 and 45. The ends of these arms 42 to 45 are connected to the support 41 via the coil springs 46, 47, 48 and 49. The sprockets 25, 26, 27 and 28 are pivotally supported at the other ends of these arms 42 to 45, respectively. These arms 42 to 45 push down the respective sprockets 25 to 28 at their other ends by pulling their ends by the respective coil springs 46 to 49. Therefore, the first and second upper chains 31 and 32 are pushed downward in the range from the sprocket 25 to the sprocket 28.

In addition, a hose 51 is guided and arranged near the rotary brush 35, and water is discharged from the hose 51 toward the rotary brush 35.

Now, as shown in FIG. 2, various sizes of fish are collected on the table 52. When these fish are sequentially placed on the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 in the carrier shelf 1, the fish 53 placed here are moved toward the cutting unit 21. At this time, the abdomen of each fish 53 is directed toward the cutting unit 21. Also, each fish 53 is placed diagonally, and the line to be cut by each fish 53 is made to coincide with the gap between the first and second lower chains 4, 5.

These fish 53 are moved on the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 and when they reach the cutting unit 21, the second and third lower chains 5, 6 and the first and fifth lower chains 4 and 8. It is guided and sandwiched between the second upper chains 31 and 32, and further moved to the right.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a state in which the fish 53 is guided to the vicinity of the circular saw 33 in the cutting unit 21. Here, the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 in the transport shelf 1 are supported by the first and second shelf plates 11 and 12 so as not to be loosened, and the first and the first chains in the cutting unit 21. The upper two chains 31, 32 are pushed downward by the respective sprockets 25-28. Therefore, the fish 53 is sandwiched between the second and third lower chains 5 and 6 and the first and second upper chains 31 and 32.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 and the first and second upper chains 31 and 32 have a large number of claws 54 protruding along the outer periphery thereof. It is set up. Therefore, when the fish 53 is sandwiched between the second and third lower chains 5 and 6 and the first and second upper chains 31 and 32, the claws 54 bite into the fish 53. This prevents the fish 53 from shifting its posture when the fish 53 is cut by the circular saw 33 as described below or when the internal organs of the fish 53 are scraped off by the rotating brush 35.

The fish 53 is cut by the circular saw 33 as it is conveyed to the right. At this time, the fish 53 is cut from the abdomen to the back along the cutting line between the first and second lower chains 4 and 5.

Here, the first lower chain 4 extends to the circular saw 33 and is interrupted here. Therefore, the cut head of the fish 53 is not supported, and as shown in FIG. 2, the head 55 falls under the second shelf 12 through the notch 34, and It is received by a tray 56 arranged below. The tray 56 is inclined as shown in FIG. 6, so that the head 55 slides down the tray 56. A waste box (not shown) is arranged under the tray 56, and the head 55 falls into the waste box.

Subsequently, the fish 53 whose head is cut is moved to the right and reaches the rotating brush 35 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Here, the cut surface of the fish 53, that is, the abdominal cavity exposed to the outside, is wiped by the rotating brush 35, and the remaining internal organs are scraped off. Further, at this time, the water discharged from the hose 51 is supplied between the rotating brush 35 and the fish 53 to wash the exposed abdominal cavity of the fish 53 and drain the remaining internal organs and blood. The viscera and blood thus dropped flow along with water through a path (not shown), are received by the saucer 56, and are introduced into a waste box (not shown) like the head 55 of the fish 53.

In addition, on the upper side of the second shelf plate 12 shown in FIG. 6, four grooves 57 for guiding the above-mentioned second to fifth lower chains 5 to 8 are formed. There is. Similarly, on the upper side of the first shelf plate 11, five grooves for guiding the first to fifth lower chains 4 to 8 are also formed.

When the head of the fish 53 is cut in this way and the exposed abdominal cavity is completely washed, the fish 53 is further transported to the right end of the transport shelf 1 and drops at this right end. If a storage box (not shown) is placed at this drop position, the fish whose head is cut will be stored in this storage box.

As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the fish is sandwiched between the lower chain and the upper chain to be transported, and the head of the fish is cut by the circular saw disposed in the middle of the transport path. ing. Here, since fishes of various sizes can be sandwiched between the lower chain and the upper chain in different postures, if these fish are appropriately arranged in the lower chain, these fish can be caught. The fish is guided and sandwiched between the lower chain and the upper chain, and is cut precisely. In addition, since the exposed abdominal cavity is wiped and washed as the fish is cut, a clean body can be obtained even if the part to be cut off is made small. That is, the yield is good and the work efficiency is high.

Although the chain is used here, the fish may be conveyed by a conveyor belt or the like. In this case, the fish is sandwiched between the lower conveyor belt and the upper conveyor belt to be conveyed. In addition, a large number of claws may be provided on the surface of the conveyor belt so that the fish can be reliably held. Furthermore, not only circular saws but also other types of electric saws can be used.
