BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fish treating apparatus for cutting off the head of a fish together with the internal organs, scraping off the remaining internal organs, and washing the blood.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is well known, kneaded products such as kamaboko and bamboo rings are produced by crushing fish and heating the paste, and the head of the fish is cut off prior to such cooking. A pretreatment of removing the internal organs is performed.

In this pretreatment, it is important to efficiently obtain the fish meat and improve the yield, and for this reason, the fish head must be cut off as small as possible. However, in this case, many of the internal organs remain in the fish, so that the internal organs were removed by hand. However, relying on manual work for part of the pretreatment has led to 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 Invention] As described above, in order to efficiently obtain fish meat and improve the yield,
Since the internal organs were extracted by hand after cutting off the head of the fish into small pieces, there was the problem that work efficiency was low. Further, if the internal organs are cut off together with the head of the fish, the pretreatment can be simplified and the work efficiency is improved, but in this case, the yield is deteriorated. That is, the improvement of the yield and the improvement of the working efficiency are in conflict with each other, and both cannot be satisfied.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to pretreat fish.
It is to improve the yield and work efficiency by improving the automatic fish processing device .

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention arranges a pair of conveyor belts so that the outer peripheries of the conveyor belts partially face each other. , A fish processing device in which these transport bands are brought close to each other by a biasing means, and a processing unit for processing the fish that is sandwiched between the transport bands and transported is disposed along each of the transport bands,
For each transport band, the transport band is formed by arranging a plurality of annular chains in parallel and bridging them, and rotating these annular chains. A large number of claws are provided on the outer circumference of each annular chain of these transport bodies. A plurality of sprockets that guide each annular chain of one of the conveyor belts at a portion facing the other conveyor belt, and the urging means urges the sprockets,
It has springs that bring these annular chains closer to the other conveyor belt.

[0008]

According to the present invention, each conveyor belt has a plurality of annular shapes.
It passed hung side by side in parallel chains, made by rotating these annular chain. Each sprocket guides each annular chain of one conveyor belt, and a spring biases these sprockets so that each annular chain of one conveyor belt approaches the other conveyor belt.
When a fish is sandwiched between the opposite parts of the respective transport zones, a plurality of annular chains come into contact with both sides of the fish, and the elasticity of these annular chains causes the annular chains to come into contact with the fish individually. Therefore, the fish is reliably sandwiched by being sandwiched at a plurality of locations.
