Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention mainly relates to a fish body sizing cutting device that cuts fish to a certain length to be canned.

For example, when processing sardines into canned products such as canned sardines boiled in water, canned in oil, or canned in tomato sauce, first cut off the head of the sardine, remove the internal organs, wash thoroughly with water to remove dirt, and transfer to diluted salt water. After going through processes such as soaking, washing with clean water, and dehydration, each type of canned food is processed differently, but in any case, the canned food must be cut to a predetermined length to match the size of the can. Must be.

In the raw filling method, this cutting process is performed immediately before the meat filling process, but in the past, all of the cutting was done by hand, so there was considerable variation, and there was a risk that the weighing would be over or under.

Based on the above-mentioned viewpoints, the present invention provides a fish body sizing cutting device that can automatically and efficiently cut a fish body to a specified size. This device is configured to feed the fish straight horizontally using a member, and sequentially cut the fish body using a pair of left and right disc cutters arranged in two stages, upper and lower, arranged to cut off the fish body just below the path of the hanger.

Next, the embodiment of the proposed device shown in the drawings will be explained.
The proposed device, which is shown in a plan view with the frame removed in Figure 1, has an endless chain 1 as an endless running member arranged in the same vertical plane as shown in a side view with the frame removed in Figure 2. Drive chain wheel 2 and driven chain wheel 3.3. It is supported by the third prize.

As shown in a partially enlarged plan view in FIG. 3, the endless chain 1 has pins 4 at predetermined intervals that protrude to one side (to the left in the direction of travel in this embodiment) by a predetermined length. It is.

A rail 5 is provided on the left side of the conveying chain portion 1A of the endless chain 1.

Hooks 7A and 7B of the hanger 6 shown in the side view in FIG. 4 and in the front view in FIG. The fish body 8 which has been removed, washed with water, salted and iced, etc., is suspended.

For example, in the case of sardines, the number of fish to be suspended is 22 for each hanger 6, and approximately 20 if the hangers are sardines.

The suspension is carried out by interposing the tail portion between the lower end of the holding plate 6B attached to the front surface of the substrate 6A of the hanger 6 with screws 9 and springs 10 and the lower end of the substrate 6A.

The hanger 6 that holds the fish body 8 in advance is an endless chain 1.
Stocker 1 installed on the side of the starting end of the conveyor chain section IA.
1, the projecting portions 6a, 6a at both left and right ends are hooked to standby for feeding operation.

The hook of hanger 6? A and 7B are hung from the outside of the rail 5 onto this rail, so that the folded downward portion faces the path of passage of the overhanging pin 4.

A pair of left and right disc cutters 12A and 13A are placed in sliding contact with each other and are lapped by a predetermined amount directly below the front and rear central portions of the conveyor chain portion IA of the endless chain 1.

The disk cutters 12A and 13A rotate in the direction shown by arrow a in FIG. However, since the disc cutters 12A and 13A are arranged in two stages, upper and lower, and the lower disc cutters 12B and 13B, which have the same diameter, cut the fish body 8 at the same time, the fish body 8 is It is cut at two points: the head side, that is, the lower end side, and the tail side, that is, the upper end side.

The vertical spacing of each of the disc cutters 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B is adjustable, and this vertical spacing is the fixed size for cutting the fish body.

The disk cutters 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B are configured to rotate in the direction of the arrow a by meshing with spur gears 16 and 17 fixed to the lower portions of shafts 14 and 15, and one shaft 14 has a motor 18. Connect it.

A disc cutter 1 is installed at the forward end of the endless chain 1 in the direction of travel.
Below 2B and 13B, there is provided a fish removal conveyor 19 that moves in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the running direction of the endless chain 1.

The fish body removal conveyor 19 is cut at the top and bottom so that the fish body 8A, which has a length corresponding to the vertical distance between the disc cutters 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B, once falls onto the lower stage disc cutter 12B or 13B, and then It is placed in a position where it can catch the centrifugal force being thrown from above the disc cutter.

On the other hand, the chips 8B on the head side cut off by the disk cutters 12B and 13B are chips from the fish body 8, which has been removed from the head and internal organs, so they are collected on the receiving surface 21 through the chute 20. Later, it will be used as a surimi.

On the other hand, the tail side remains on the hanger 6 and moves further, so it does not get mixed into the receiving surface 21.

When the endless chain 1 moves from the transport chain section IA to the return chain section IB, it changes direction directly downward as shown in FIG.

The hanger 6, which has been moved on the rail 5 by pushing the rear hook 7B by the pin 4, changes its direction directly below the endless chain 1 and makes the end of the rail 5 near the direction of the endless chain 1. As a result, it is pushed out from the rail 5.

If the hanger 6 is pushed out from the rail 5, it will fall from the tip, so a receiving plate 22 is provided at a position where it can catch the fall.

The support plate 22 temporarily supports the hanger 6 until the hanger 6 is completely pulled out from the rail 5, and is shown in FIG. 7 as an enlarged view in the direction of FIG. It has an upper surface that is tilted low toward the left side in the traveling direction of the hanger 6, and has a function of allowing the hanger 6 to fall down to the left side when pulled out from the rail 5.

Below the receiving plate 22, perpendicular to the traveling direction of the hanger 6,
In addition, a V-belt conveyor 23 is provided which is inclined to become lower toward the left side in the direction of travel.

The V-belt conveyor 23 is pulled out from the rail 5, and the receiving plate 22
This is a conveyor for receiving the hanger 6 which falls to the left immediately after being temporarily received by the hanger 6, and carrying it out of the apparatus.

Since this project was constructed as described above, the head was cut off in advance,
After removing the internal organs, the fish body 8 is thoroughly washed with water, soaked in salt water, washed again with water, and dehydrated. The fish body 8 is hung on a hanger 6, and a large number of these hangers 6 are hung on a stocker 11. A running endless chain 1 is made to wait while being hooked to a side rail 5.

The work of hanging the hanger 6 on the rail 5 is done manually, and the endless chain 1 is attached on the opposite side of the stocker 11.
A worker standing next to stocker 1 picks up the stocker one by one.
Hang the hanger 6 on the rail 5 from above.

When hooking the hanger 6 to the rail 5, if you time the hook 7B so that the pin 4 of the endless chain 1 pushes it, the hanger 6 will be pushed by the pin 4 and move forward.
Rotating disk cutters 12A, 13A, 12B, 1
Cutting of the fish body 8 begins at step 3B.

The fish body 8 is cut into lengths with the upper and lower disc cutters 12A, 12B, 13A, and 13B leaving the tail part on the hanger 6, and once falls onto the lower disc cutter 12B or 13B, The fish is blown away and placed on the fish removal conveyor 19, where it is taken out as it is.

On the other hand, the hanger 6, which moves forward with only its tail held in place, is successively pushed out onto the pedestal 22, and then transferred to the belt conveyor 2.
3, the pinched tail is removed, a new fish body is pinched, and then fed to the stocker 11 again.

As is clear from the above explanation, the device of the present invention can cut fish bodies to a fixed size with high efficiency, and the cut fish bodies are all of the same size and have no variation, and have excellent effects.
