JPH09248125A - Device for removing bill of squid - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mechanically surely remove the bill of a squid by inserting between the arms of the squid a removing drum made by coaxially attaching two discs to a rotation shaft in a tapered state and subsequently disposing a blade between the discs, and subsequently rotating the removing drum. SOLUTION: A removing drum 13 is formed by attaching two discs 15, 15 to the same rotation shaft 17 in a tapered state, and subsequently disposing a blade 19 between the discs. The removing drum 13 is inserted between the arms 27 of a squid 3, and subsequently rotated in the direction of the arrow. Only by the rotation of the removing drum 13, the arms 27 are opened, and the bill 25 is removed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing a beak, and more particularly, to a mechanized removal of a beak while the body and the head (including the arm) are still joined.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art One of the steps of raw processing for making squid "same" includes a step of removing a beak. Conventionally, such a step has been performed after first cutting an arm (a portion usually called a "foot"). This is a mollusc of the tenth arm of the cephalopod, and its skeleton is soft and poor in formality, so there is no device to remove the beak while the torso and head (including the squid arm) remain connected. This is because its mechanization was difficult. For this reason, the beak is conventionally removed manually.

[0003]

However, this method has a disadvantage that the working efficiency is poor.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, achieve a mechanized removal of the beak, and reliably and efficiently remove the beak.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a removing drum having two discs tapered and coaxially attached thereto, and a blade provided between the discs. A beak removal device is provided which removes a beak by inserting a removal drum between the arms and rotating the beak. At this time, it is conceivable to provide the blade on the maximum spread side between the disks. Further, it is conceivable that the blade has a V-shaped blade edge. It is also conceivable that a cut is previously made between the arms and the cut is placed on the processing plate with the cut facing upward. Furthermore, combinations of these are also conceivable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a skull removing apparatus according to the present invention. 1 to 8, reference numeral 1 denotes a processing plate formed in the shape of a “H”, on which a squid 3 is placed.
The processing plate 1 is provided with a pair of width correction plates 5, 5, and is carried in a state where the head 7 is held between the width correction plates 5, 5. Passage holes 11 are formed in the width correction plates 5 and 5 at the positions of the squid eyeballs 9. In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a trunk.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a removing drum for removing the beak. The removal drum 13 has two disks 15, 15 tapered and coaxially mounted on a rotating shaft 17.
The blade 19 is provided on the maximum widening side A between the five. The blade 19 has a blade edge 21 formed in a V shape. 23 is a disk 1
These are the gaps formed at 5 and 15. In the figure, 25 is a beak and 27 is an arm.

The removal of the third skull 25 by the skull removal apparatus having the above configuration will be described. A cut (not shown) is made at the center between the arms 27 of the squid 3 in advance, and the squid is in an open state (commonly referred to as “foot opening”). The squid 3 is placed on the processing plate 1 with the cut side facing upward. The head 3 which is placed on the processing plate 1 and whose head 7 is to be sandwiched between the width correcting plates 5, 5 is transported to the removing drum 13 in this state, and stops there. Next, the tapered side B of the removal drum 13 is inserted into the cutout of the head (FIGS. 1 to 3). Thereafter, the removing drum 13 is rotated in the direction of the arrow. Then
The incision is gradually expanded by the tapered shape of the removing drum 13, and following this expansion, the maximum expanding side A appears at the beak, and the cutting edge 21 of the blade 19 provided there pierces the beak 25 and the removing drum is pierced. This is removed by a turning force of 13.

That is, according to the beak removing apparatus of the present invention, the two operations of expanding the arm 27 and removing the beak 25 can be performed only by the rotational movement of the removing drum 13. Therefore, the beak 25 can be removed efficiently and surely.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, disk 1
The taper degrees 5 and 15 can be arbitrarily adjusted. The edge of the blade 19 does not necessarily have to be V-shaped. Further, the tapered side B of the removing drum 13 is not necessarily a disk 15,
15 need not be in contact. Also, the disks 15, 15
May have no gap. Further, if the removing drum 13 is rotated upward from below in the opposite direction to the above-described embodiment, it is conceivable that the removing drum 13 is placed on the processing plate 1 with the cut end downward.

[0011]

As described above, according to the apparatus for removing a beak according to the present invention, the beak can be removed reliably and efficiently.
