The bearing 16 is rotated within the outer cylinder 15 by rotating the bearing 16 in the forward and reverse directions at 0, thereby vertically adjusting the pressing roller 9 at the eccentric position.

In addition, the long fiber strips of meat a laminated in the receiving mold 5 are pressed by the pressure roller 9 and bound together. As shown, it is also possible to inject a binder such as binder between the layers of each long fiber strip-shaped meat a from the supply pipe 21.

In addition, each of the guide rollers 4 and the pressure roller 9
are rotated by a driving force at a circumferential speed that is the same as or higher than the transfer speed of the long fiber strip meat a.

Next, the diagonal section C inherits the continuous long fiber group b from the laminated binding section B, as shown in FIG.
It has an intermittent transport conveyor 22 that moves the continuous long fiber group b at regular intervals; and a cutting cutter 23 that advances and retreats in a direction inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the suspension direction of the intermittent transport conveyor 22; While the continuous long fiber group b is inched at regular intervals by the intermittent conveyor 22, when the inching stops, the continuous long fiber group b is cut by the cutting cutter 23 at an angle of 45 degrees to the fiber direction with the width of the inching. The short fiber bundled block c is cut out by cutting in a direction inclined to .
Note that the intermittent conveyor 22 has a narrow belt 2.
2a and the wide belt 22b are placed adjacent to each other so that their upper transition surfaces form a uniform surface, and the terminal end of the narrow belt 22a extends slightly from the terminal end of the wide belt 22b, thereby creating a relief space 2 at the terminal end of the conveyor 22.
It has a suspension structure that forms 4.

Further, the cutting cutter 23 is arranged at one angle in a direction inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the suspension direction of the intermittent conveyor 22.
A pair of guide rods 25, 25 is installed to straddle the conveyor 22, and sliding bodies 26, 26 are fitted to the guide rods 25, 25, respectively, and a connecting rod 27 is provided between both sliding bodies 26, 26. Connecting rod 28

A pulley 34 provided on the
and a pinion 31 meshed with the rack 30 by the reciprocating movement of the sliding bodies 26, 26.
The continuous long fiber group b is cut while forcing the cutting cutter 23 to roll forward and backward in conjunction with the forward and reverse movement of the pinion 31. In this case, the rack and pillion are selected so that there is no relative speed difference between the cutter and the product when the cutter 23 cuts the product, and the rack and pillion are selected so that there is no relative speed difference between the cutter and the product when the cutter 23 cuts the product. I am trying to do the cutting.

Further, 36 and 37 are presser plates, respectively, and while the cutting cutter 23 is cutting the continuous long fiber group b, rollers 38 and 39 provided on the sliding bodies 26 and 26 are used to hold the continuous long fiber group b just on the upper surface. The cutting cutter 23 is pressed down so as to come into contact with each other, and when the cutting cutter 23 finishes cutting, it is separated upward by the restoring force of the spring. In this case, one of the presser plates 36 is vertically supported on the guide rod 25 by a coil spring 40, and the other presser plate 37 is formed of a plate spring. There is.

Further, numerals 41, 41 are scrapers for the cutting cutter 23, which scrape off glue-like residue adhering to the cutting cutter 23.

Also, 42, 42 is a drip hose, and the cutting cutter 2
Water is dripped on both sides of the cutter 3 to reduce the cutting abrasion resistance of the cutting cutter 23 and allow smooth cutting.

Next, the deflection section D pivots a plurality of receiving plates 44 (seven in the embodiment) at equal intervals on the same radius of the rotating disk 43, and is cut at the diagonal section C. When the short fiber bundle c is conveyed to a state where it straddles the relief space 24 formed at the end of the intermittent conveyor 22, it is scooped up from below by the receiving plate 44 located on the side of the rotating disk 43, and this scoop is The taken short fiber collecting block c is carried to the opposite side position while being placed on the receiving plate 44, and here the short fiber collecting block c is transferred from the receiving plate 44 onto the roller conveyor 45, and the short fiber collecting block c is transferred to the roller conveyor 45. c are rearranged in a line so that the cut surface by the oblique portion C becomes the side surface, and the sheets are sequentially sent to the next process. The receiving plate 44 is formed in the shape of a forked claw, and this shape allows the claw portion to pass between the rollers when transferring the short fibers to the roller conveyor 45, so that the rollers of the short fiber collecting block c Reloading onto the conveyor 45 can be done easily and reliably.

Further, the receiving plate 44 is held in a horizontal state, and in this case, as shown in FIG.
A sprocket 47 is fixed to the bearing tube 46 of No. 3, a sprocket 48 is provided on the support shaft of the receiving plate 44, a chain 49 is suspended between both sprockets 47 and 48, and The structure is such that the receiving plate 44 itself is rotated in the opposite direction in response to the reverse movement of the receiving plate 44, and the receiving plate 44 is held horizontally by canceling out both rotations.

Next, the connecting portion E includes a pair of drive chains 50, 5.
A slip conveyor 52 having a large number of free rollers 51 mounted between them; At the terminal end portion of the slip conveyor 52, following a receiving part 53 in which the facing interval is gradually narrowed, the facing interval is changed to the length of the short fiber collecting block c. A pair of opposing belts 55, 55 each having a holding portion 54 having a width substantially the same as that of the slip conveyor 52; There is.

Then, the short fiber collection block c transferred from the deflection section D to the slip conveyor 52 via the conveyor 56 moves on the slip conveyor 52 and is received by the clamping section 54 of the opposing belts 55, 55. , the short fiber focusing block c is
The short fibers are conveyed at the shifting speed of the opposing belt 55 while causing slips between them and the slip conveyor 52, and as a result, the distance between the short fibers and the short fiber bundled blocks c conveyed later is gradually reduced.
Gradually, the short fiber bundled blocks c are connected in series to form a continuous block e.
In addition, in order to improve the slippage with the slip conveyor 52 during connection, the slip conveyor 52 is
Dripping water is effective.

Next, the packaging section F uses a conventionally known packaging machine, and places the continuous block e on the film 57 that is sequentially fed out, and wraps the continuous block e from both sides while wrapping the continuous block e with the hot roll 58 on the top surface. ，
58 to form a continuous packaging block f.

In this packaging section F, the continuous blocks e are colored in parallel with the packaging operation.

Next, for the fixed size cutting section G, a conventionally known cutting machine is used, and the sequentially delivered packaging continuous blocks f are cut into arbitrarily set fixed sizes by the rotary cutter 59 to produce a crab meat-like paste product. k.

Therefore, the manufacturing apparatus K of the present invention configured as described above shreds a plurality of strips of meat m into noodle strips at the cut portion A to form long fiber strips of meat a, and then cuts the strips of meat m into strips. The fiber strip-shaped meat a is bound in a laminated state at the lamination binding part B to form a continuous long fiber group b, and then this continuous long fiber group b is inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the fiber direction at a diagonal part C. Then, the short fiber bundles c are rearranged at a direction changing part D and then connected in series at a connecting part E to form a continuous block e. Next, this continuous block e is film-wrapped in a packaging section F to form a packaged continuous block f, and finally, this packaged continuous block f is cut to a fixed size in a fixed-size cutting section G to produce a product k. It constitutes a series of production lines.

The crab meat-like pastry product k produced in this way has a large number of short fibrous meat n bundled in a direction inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the product, as shown in Fig. 10. , Therefore, when eating this, the direction of tearing due to biting is short fibrous meat n
The direction of the fibers in the product k is diagonal, and the tearing occurs along the short fibrous meat n. Because it has the short fiber sensation characteristic of meat, it has the texture of real crab meat even though it is a paste product.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

For example, regarding the layout of the production line, it is possible to interpose a conveyor belt or the like between each component as appropriate depending on the size and shape of the factory. In the embodiment, a conveyor 56 is interposed between the direction change section D and the connection section E, but this conveyor 56 is not necessarily necessary. It may also be delivered directly to department E.

Further, there is no limitation on the means for forming a plurality of strips of meat, and it may be manufactured according to a known method.

In addition, since the product manufactured by the manufacturing apparatus of this example is formed into a rectangular cross-section with corners, it has an appearance that appears to be a molded product. In order to approximate crab meat, for example, pressing force may be applied so that each layer in the laminated state is shifted in the width direction, and the cross-sectional shape is deformed into a shape close to a circle. As the pressing means, for example, a structure may be used in which a tapered roller is pivotally supported on the upper surface of the conveyor and passed between the conveyor and the roller, or a conveyor inclined in the width direction is used instead of the tapered roller. Bye. Note that this pressing means may be arranged between the packaging section and the sizing cutting section to apply the pressing force at the stage of continuous packaging blocks, or it may be arranged at the tip of the sizing cutting section. A pressing force may be applied to the product.

In the example, each strip of meat is completely shredded at the cut portion to form a long-fiber strip of meat, but it is also possible to form a long-fiber strip of meat by cutting to the extent that a portion of the strip of meat remains. Moreover, as long as the number of strips of meat is four or more, the purpose can be fully satisfied.

Furthermore, in the example, the cutting direction by the diagonal section is set to 45
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the point is that the continuous long fiber group may be cut in a direction oblique to the fiber direction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a paste product having a texture similar to real crab meat can be produced, and the production can be performed in a series of continuous operations.
