Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating intestines of animals such as cattle and pigs,
This invention relates to a device for cleaning and incising intestinal tracts such as the large intestine.

In general, at processing plants for cattle, pigs, etc., the cleaning and cutting of internal organs, especially the large intestine, is carried out by humans.The contents of the large intestine are solidified, which results in low work efficiency and poor hygiene. There were many problems.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it automatically cleans the intestine of an animal to be treated while fitting it into a guide tube and transporting it, and also cuts it open and removes the contents of the intestine. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for processing animal intestinal tracts, which is capable of cleaning and separating the outer skin of intestinal tracts.

The structure of the present invention includes a guide tube for intestines to be treated in which a plurality of cleaning water injection nozzle holes are formed, and a guide tube for intestines to be treated that is disposed on both sides of the guide tube for intestines to be treated and fitted into the guide tube. It consists of a transfer body that transports along a guide tube, and a cutter that cuts the intestinal tract to be treated using the intestinal guide tube.

Next, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a drive mechanism storage surface provided on the upper part of a supporting frame 2 installed on a filth storage water tank (not shown), and the upper opening of this storage surface 1 is provided so as to be openable and closable with a lid 3.

A guide tube for the intestinal tract to be treated 4 is disposed below the storage surface 1, and the vicinity of the rear end of the guide tube 4 is supported on the support frame 2 by a support leg 5.

A water supply pipe such as a water supply pipe is connected to the rear end of this guide pipe 4, and the washing water supplied into this guide pipe 4 is passed through a washing water nozzle opened in a conical fitting guide portion 4a at the tip of the guide pipe 4. The water is sprayed from a plurality of cleaning water nozzle holes 7 which are opened at intervals in the axial direction in the hole 6 and the upper surface of the guide tube 4.

Note that the nozzle hole 7 of the guide tube 4 may be provided on the lower surface.

Further, a pair of transfer bodies 8 and 9 are arranged along the guide tube 4 on both sides thereof.

These transfer bodies 8 and 9 are connected to roller chains 71 suspended from sprockets NO and 11 arranged at the front and back positions of the guide tube 4.
2, 13, this roller chain 12, 13
The upper and lower connecting pieces 16, 16 that pivotally support the roller 14 are each bent with a mounting piece 11, and a spring holding piece 18 is fixed to the upper and lower mounting pieces 17 with screws 19. .

At the top of this holding piece 18 is a spring 20 formed with an elastic rod.
The upper end of the spring 20 is fixed, the middle part of the spring 20 is formed with a pressing part 21 that is curved in a shape along the outer periphery of the guide tube 4, and the lower end of the spring 20 is a free end.

Further, a projecting plate 39 is provided at one end of the holding piece 18, and a spring 2
This prevents the lower end of 0 from shifting backward.

By driving this roller chain 712.degree. 13, the intestine to be treated fitted into the guide tube 4 is moved by the pressing portions 2 of the springs 20 on both sides.
1 and transported backwards.

The sprockets 10 and 11 on both the front and rear sides, each having a large diameter, are attached to rotating shafts 22 and 23, respectively, which are suspended from the storage surface 1.

Gears 24, 24 that mesh with each other within the storage surface 1 are attached to both of the rear rotation shafts 23, 23, and a bevel gear 26 that meshes with a bevel gear 25 provided on one of the rear rotation shafts 23 is attached. , is provided on the drive shaft 28 of the transfer motor 27 provided within the storage surface 1.

Next, 29 is a rotary cutter, which faces the recess 30 formed at the lower part of the guide tube 4, and this cutter 29
A rotating shaft 31 is rotatably mounted on a mounting arm 33 on the support frame 2, and a pulley 34 provided on the rotating shaft 31 and a drive shaft 36 of a cutter electric motor 35 provided on the storage surface 1 are provided. A drive belt 38 is suspended around a pulley 31 located therein.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Driven by the transfer electric motor 27, one rear rotating shaft 23 rotates, and the other rotating shaft 23, which is interlocked with this one rotating shaft 23 through the meshing of gears 24 and 24, rotates. The roller chains 12, 13 on both sides suspended from drive test sprockets 11, 11 on shafts 23, 23 are driven.

Further, the rotary shaft 31 is rotated by the drive of the cutter electric motor 35 via the belt 38, and the cutter 29 is rotated.

Further, when water is supplied to the guide tube 4, cleaning water is sprayed from the plurality of nozzle holes 6 and 7 at the tip and upper surface of the guide tube 4.

In this state, when the intestine such as the large intestine of a cow or pig is inserted into the fitting guide portion 4a at the tip of the guide tube 4, the cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle holes 6 and 7 is supplied into the intestine. The intestinal tube fitted into the guide tube 4 is transported by a transport body 8, which is disposed on both sides of the guide tube 4.
9 to the rear.

Since the intestinal tube fitted into the guide tube 4 is held between the transfer bodies 8 and 9 by the pressing portions of springs 20 that are pressed against both sides of the guide tube 4, the intestinal tube slides on the outer surface of the guide tube 4. Since the lower end of the spring 20 is a free end, it is forcibly transferred even if the wall thickness of the intestinal tract changes.

Further, since the holding piece 18 is provided with a projecting plate 39, the spring 20 is transferred without being left behind.

During this time, the contents within the intestinal tract contain cleansing water and are softened.

The intestine that has reached the intermediate position of the guide tube 4 is cut by the cutter 29.
The contents of the incised intestinal tract are dropped into the wastewater system together with the cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle hole 7 on the upper surface of the guide tube 4.

Further, the incised intestinal canal is transferred by transfer bodies 8 and 9 toward a storage surface provided at the rear end of the guide tube 4 while being washed by washing water jetted from the nozzle hole.

According to the present invention, the contents of the intestinal tract, such as the large intestine of animals such as cows and pigs, are softened with water-containing G-TR, and can be cut open while being automatically washed. It is something that can be spilled and disposed of hygienically.
