Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the work of removing the scallops from scallops has been done manually, and therefore a large number of people need to process a considerable number of shellfish, resulting in long hours of work, and
The soaring labor costs weren't good either.

[0003]

Therefore, the present invention was devised to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides an apparatus for automatically cutting scallop scallops.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a conveyor that operates intermittently by power and places scallops at predetermined intervals, a rotary table that is adjacent to the conveyor and that operates intermittently, and scallops on the conveyor. And a device for transferring scallops to the rotary table at the periphery of the rotary table at equal intervals.
A cutting device that cuts the tip of the scallop, a cutting device that cuts the upper scallop, a device that removes one side of the scallop shell, a device that removes the inside of the scallop shell, and a device that cuts the lower scallop It is composed of a scallop cutting device for scallops.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the scallops placed on the conveyer are transferred onto the rotary table, fixed to the peripheral edge of the rotary table, and automatically operated by various devices during the intermittent rotation of the rotary table. It automatically takes out the scallops.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A conveyor (1) which is intermittently operated by power and places a scallop (A) on the conveyor, and a conveyor adjacent to the conveyor. The rotating table (2) that operates intermittently, the moving device (3) that transfers the scallops on the transfer conveyor (1) to the rotating table (2), and the scallop of the scallops on the peripheral portion of the rotating table (2). Fixing devices (4) are provided at equal intervals, and a cutting device (5) for cutting the tip of the scallop, a cutting device (6) for cutting the upper scallop, and a scallop shell are provided around the rotary table. Device (7) for removing one side of the scallop, device (8) for removing the scale inside the scallop,
It is composed of a scallop cutting device for scallops, each of which is provided with a device (9) for cutting the lower scallop.

The individual devices used in the present invention will be described in detail below. The transfer conveyor (1) is intermittently operated by power (moves for 1 second and stops for 5 seconds).
Then, a saucer (1a) on which the scallops (A) are placed is provided on the conveyor at predetermined intervals. The scallops placed on these saucers are provided with a direction changing device (1b) in a certain direction in the middle (so that the hinge-shaped part of the shell faces backward with respect to the rotary table), and the conveyor (1 A moving device (3) for gripping a scallop (A), lifting the gripped scallop (A), rotating it by 90 degrees, and mounting it on the rotary table (2) is provided near the end of ().

Next, the rotary table (2) has a base (X).
It is installed on the top and rotates at an angle of 45 degrees per second,
It operates intermittently to stop for 5 seconds.

Then, a scallop fixing device (4) for temporarily fixing the scallop (A) by the moving device (3) with the hinge portion facing downward at a constant angle on the periphery of the rotary table (2). ) Are provided respectively, and the fixing device (4) is a cylinder (4a) for fixing scallops to the left and right.
(4a) is provided, and a cylinder (4b) is provided so as to be movable upward, and a sequencer (not shown) measures the length of the shellfish with a sensor (4c) attached to the cylinder (4b). The scallop cutting device (6), the scallop removing device (8), and the lower scallop cutting device (9) are instructed to move.

Next, a cutting device (5) is provided adjacent to the rotary table (2), and a cylinder (5b) with a blade at the upper end of the pole (5a) is used to form a cylinder (4b) of the fixing device (4). By cutting the upper end of the scallop (A) temporarily fixed by, make it easier for the cutting tool to enter the scallop.

Next, the scallop (A) whose upper end is cut by the cutting device (5) receives the instruction of the sequencer, and the length of the blade (6a) of the scallop cutting device (6) is swung. Decide and go forward, with the blade slightly vertical (5 to 25 degrees) and proceed along the inner wall of the scallop shell, spraying water or air when cutting By moving and cutting the shellfish, the cutting will be improved. Incidentally, (6b) and (6c) are cylinders, (6d) is a pole, and (6e) and (6f) are rotors.

The device (7) for removing one side of the scallop shell is a cylinder (7a) that removes the lid (one side) of the shell from which the upper scallop was cut in the previous step.

Next, the scallop whose one side has been removed removes the inside scale by a vacuum (8a),
The removing device (8) is operated according to the instruction of the sequencer (not shown).

Further, it operates by determining the swing of the blade and the length of invasion according to the instruction of the sequencer (not shown), and it moves forward while swinging the blade in the left and right direction. It goes along the inner wall.

A device (9) for cutting the lower scallop
Is to cut along the inner wall of the shell of the scallop shell by making the blade (9a) slightly vertical (5 to 25 degrees) as described above in response to the instruction of the sequencer, and the blade (9a)
Cylinder (9b) (9c), rotor (9d) (9e)
The tool swings the tool up and down, left and right, and carries it to the lower end of the scallop. When you cut it, it can be cut well by spraying with water or air.

When removing the remaining shells of the scallop, the scallops (A) are dropped and removed by opening the cylinders (4a) (4a).

[0017]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, scallop scallops can be automatically cut by a conveyor and a rotary table, which is labor-saving and leads to a reduction in labor costs, which is extremely beneficial. It plays.
