Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting device for cutting the body of a squid into a cord that looks like somen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The body of raw squid is cut open, and this is cut into a thread.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-131896 has been proposed as a device for chopping cords. This shredding device is provided between two conveyer belts that convey thin pieces of squid or the like that are thinly peeled.
A hard resin roll having a hard resin layer on the surface was provided, and a cutter having a plurality of circular thin blades arranged in parallel above the hard resin roll was arranged by bringing the tip of the circular thin blade into contact with the surface of the roll. Things. With the above configuration, the thin pieces such as squid are conveyed by the conveyor belt to the position where the rotating circular thin blade and the hard resin roll are arranged, and the thin pieces such as squid are supported by the hard resin roll and are rotated by a plurality of rotating circular thin blades. Shreds are cut by the number equivalent to the number of circular thin blades, resulting in squid somen.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, a thin piece of squid or the like is placed on a conveyor belt, conveyed and supplied as it is to the position of the rotary circular thin blade, and the thin circular blade rotates at a fixed position on the hard resin roll. Although the thin pieces on the hard resin roll are not pressed at all, it is easy to move in the left-right width direction at the cutting location by the rotating circular thin blade, so the thin pieces are cut linearly with a constant width. It has a problem that it is hard to be crushed and it is easy to meander and shred.
Further, since the above-mentioned shredding is a so-called "push-cutting type" in which a rotating circular thin blade is brought into contact with a hard resin roll, when the cutting blade is a thin-walled blade, the cutting blade is easily deformed, and if the deformation is to be prevented, Naturally, the thickness of the cutting blade becomes thicker, and as a result, it is impossible to cut with a fine pitch, and the resistance at the time of cutting is also large, so it is not possible to cut a large amount in a short time, and it is cut The texture of the meat pieces will also be impaired.

[0004] Further, when a piece of squid meat is cut, "null" occurs, but if the "null" remains attached, the texture will be poor and the commercial value will be reduced. There is a problem that the cutting processing conditions are changed because the “null” is often removed or adheres to the cutter during cutting.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.
To provide a cutting device capable of cutting a full-width work piece at a high speed at a high speed in a string shape (thin and long) at the same time by feeding a flat work piece into a cutter portion, and also capable of using a thin blade. is there.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the cutting device provided by the present invention has similar slits formed on a guide plate in which slits are formed in parallel at intervals of string-like cutting. The mask plate is aligned vertically with the slits, and is horizontally erected and fixed at a distance slightly wider than the thickness of the workpiece, and a circular cutter is arranged on the upper surface of the mask plate at the same pitch as the slits arranged in parallel. The rotary cutters fixed in parallel are arranged such that the blade edges of the cutters are fitted into the slits of the mask plate and the guide plate, and the rotary cutters can be driven and rotated by a motor.

The circular thin blade forming the rotary cutter is formed by a stainless thin plate having a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm,
The circular thin blades are arranged and fixed side by side on a shaft at a pitch of 1 mm to 1.7 mm, for example. The intervals between the circular thin blades are set to a pitch that does not impair the texture of the squid and that can express the feeling of somen noodles. For example, a rotary cutter in which circular thin blades having a thickness of 0.15 mm are arranged and fixed side by side at a pitch of 1.7 mm is suitable. Further, water supply means for spraying water toward the slit and the rotary cutter is provided at a position on the upper surface of the mask plate on the front side in the rotation direction of the rotary cutter.

According to the above construction, when the work piece is inserted between the guide plate and the mask plate, the work piece is held in a flat plate shape by the guide plate and the mask plate, and the work piece is held by the guide plate and the mask plate. While being cut at a high speed into a string shape by a circular thin blade cutter that fits over the formed slit, the workpiece is automatically drawn into the cutter side by the rotation of the cutter, and cutting is performed over the entire length, The cut string-shaped member is fed out from between the guide plate and the mask plate. That is,
Since the cutter rotates in a non-contact state other than the work piece,
A thin blade can be used, and a thin string can be cut. Then, during the above cutting, by flowing water on the mask plate by the water supply means, the "null" that occurs when cutting the squid meat of the workpiece with the rotary cutter is always washed away,
As a result, it is possible to prevent "null" from adhering to and depositing in the slit of the mask plate, and to keep the processing conditions of the rotary cutter constant.
