Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a device for transferring cut meat from a frozen meat cutting machine. More specifically, the present invention provides meat cut from a frozen meat cutting machine comprising a rotating cylindrical body equipped with a frozen meat cutting blade on the circumferential surface and a hopper for storing the cut meat installed below the rotating cylindrical body in parallel with the rotating cylindrical body. The present invention relates to a device for transporting.

[Conventional technology]

In a frozen meat cutting machine, a transfer table is formed on the top surface of the machine base, and a pressure plate is moved along this transfer table using a hydraulic cylinder such as an air cylinder or a lead screw to cut meat or fish meat into blocks. The frozen meat is pressed against a rotating cylindrical body with an appropriate pressing force. The rotating cylindrical body is provided with frozen meat cutting blades at regular intervals on its circumferential surface, and the rotating cylindrical body cuts the pressed frozen meat into small pieces by rotating. A hopper is installed below the rotating cylindrical body to store small pieces of meat cut by the cutting blade of the rotating cylindrical body.

Frozen meat cut into small pieces by a cutting machine is stored in a hopper, and from this hopper, by gravity, it is fed to a conveyor that tilts diagonally and conveys it diagonally upward. It is transferred above a hopper arranged at the top of a machine, etc., and thrown into the hopper.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional transfer device, small pieces of cut meat were fed from the hopper to the inclined belt conveyor using only gravity, so the cut meat was not reliably fed to the inclined conveyor, and some of the meat fell onto the wall of the hopper. Sometimes it remained attached to the surface. If such poor supply continues for a long time, meat with impaired freshness and quality will be mixed in, resulting in a decrease in product value or complete loss.

In order to prevent such a decrease in product value, frozen meat is often supplied to an inclined belt conveyor by manually scraping the meat off the wall of the hopper. Such auxiliary work requires a great deal of labor, and the work of transporting cut meat from a conventional frozen meat cutting machine to the next process has low productivity.

In addition, in conventional frozen meat cutting machines, the frozen meat cutting machine and the equipment for the next process are connected by an inclined belt conveyor as described above, so it is difficult to install an inclined belt conveyor. Space is required, and factory floor space cannot be used effectively. Furthermore, since the frozen meat cutting machine and the equipment for the next process are connected by an inclined belt conveyor, there is a problem that the distance between the two pieces of equipment is large, making it difficult for one worker to operate both pieces of equipment.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention overcomes the problems associated with the prior art as described above, and allows frozen meat to be transferred from a frozen meat cutting machine to an area above adjacent equipment with almost no human intervention, while requiring less floor space. It is an object of the present invention to provide a frozen meat transfer device that can be minimized and has good operability.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, a device for transferring cut meat from a frozen meat cutting machine is comprised of a rotating cylindrical body equipped with a frozen meat cutting blade on the circumferential surface and a hopper for storing the cut meat installed below the rotating cylindrical body in parallel with the rotating cylindrical body. A screw conveyor extending from the hopper to the side of the frozen meat cutting machine is installed at the bottom of the hopper parallel to the rotating cylindrical body and substantially horizontally, and the screw conveyor is installed substantially horizontally at the bottom of the hopper, and cuts the meat from the frozen meat cutting machine to an adjacent device. The above-mentioned object is achieved by a cut frozen meat transfer device in which a screw conveyor for upwardly transferring the cut frozen meat is installed so as to stand up almost vertically from the outlet of the horizontal screw conveyor.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the cut frozen meat transfer device of the present invention, in which a flat transfer table 2 is horizontally formed on the top surface of the machine stand 1 of the frozen meat cutting machine, and a press plate 3 is used for transfer. It is movable left and right along the top surface of the table 2.

The press plate 3 is equipped with an air cylinder (not shown) as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-135481.
A piston rod is connected thereto, or a reciprocating carriage (not shown) reciprocated by a lead screw is connected thereto. Therefore, the pressing plate 3 moves along the transfer table 2 and presses the frozen meat, which is a block of stored meat or fish meat, against the rotating cylindrical body 5 with an appropriate pressing force.

As disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-8149, the rotating cylindrical body 5 is provided with a plurality of frozen meat cutting blades 6 at equal intervals on its circumferential surface. Also the second
As shown in the figure, a sprocket 4 or a pulley is fixed to the shaft end of the rotating cylindrical body 5, a sprocket 10 or a pulley is fixed to a motor (not shown),
A suitable transmission member such as a chain 9 or a V-belt is stretched between the sprockets 10 or between the pulleys. Therefore, the rotating cylindrical body 5 is rotated by the motor.

As the rotating cylindrical body 5 rotates, the pressing plate 3
The pressed frozen meat is cut into small pieces by a cutting blade 6 to a predetermined thickness. Note that the above-mentioned predetermined thickness is determined by the amount of protrusion of the cutting blade.

A hopper 7 is installed below the rotating cylindrical body 5 in parallel with the rotating cylindrical body 5, and stores small pieces of meat cut by the cutting blade 6 of the rotating cylindrical body 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, a screw conveyor 11 is installed substantially horizontally at the bottom of the hopper 7, parallel to the rotating cylindrical body 5. Screw conveyor 1
1 extends along the hopper, and one end of 1
1a (the left end in FIG. 2) reaches the side of the frozen meat cutting machine. The right end of the shaft of the screw conveyor 11 protrudes from the machine frame of the frozen meat cutting machine, and a sprocket 12 is fixed to the protrusion. A sprocket 12 is mounted on the opposite side of the rotating cylindrical body 5 from the sprocket mounting portion, and a chain 14 is stretched between the sprockets 12 and 13.
Therefore, by rotationally driving the rotating cylindrical body 5, the sprockets 12, 13 and the chain 14
The screw conveyor 11 can be rotated via the screw conveyor 11. In addition, screw conveyor 11
may be driven directly from a motor without using the rotating cylindrical body 5.

The screw conveyor 8 is set up almost vertically from the outlet 11a of the horizontal screw conveyor 11, and a hopper (not shown) is installed above the frozen meat cutting machine and adjacent equipment (such as a meat grinder).
Transfer the cut frozen meat above. A sprocket 15 is fixed to the lower end of the shaft of the screw conveyor 8,
The sprocket 16 is fixed to the drive shaft of the motor 17 for driving the screw conveyor 8, and the sprocket 1
A chain 18 is stretched between 5 and 16. Therefore, by rotationally driving the motor 17, the screw conveyor 8 can be rotated via the sprockets 15, 16 and the chain 18. Note that the screw conveyor 8 is
Instead of being driven directly from the rotary cylindrical body 5, it may be driven from a motor that drives the rotating cylindrical body 5 via a bevel gear.

The frozen meat cut into small pieces by the cutting machine falls into the hopper 7 and is stored there. As the screw conveyor 11 rotates, the cut meat is reliably transferred to the outlet end 11a of the screw conveyor 11, and the hopper 7 is not clogged. Then, the outlet 1
The cut meat is conveyed vertically upward by the screw conveyor 8 installed almost vertically from 1a, and is reliably transferred above the hopper of a meat grinder or the like placed adjacent to the frozen meat cutting machine, and then will be put into the

[Effect of idea]

In this invention, the screw conveyor is installed at the bottom of the hopper parallel to the rotating cylindrical body with frozen meat cutting blades and almost horizontally, and the screw conveyor extends from the hopper to the side of the frozen meat cutting machine. As a result, the meat cut by the frozen meat cutting blade is guided to the screw conveyor and forcibly conveyed to the side of the hopper, and can be reliably transferred to the vertically installed screw conveyor and removed from the hopper. Unlike conventional devices, no manual labor is required to discharge the liquid. Therefore, cut meat can be reliably transferred from the frozen meat cutting machine to an adjacent device. Moreover, in the present invention, the screw conveyor that transfers the cut frozen meat upward from the frozen meat cutting machine to the adjacent device is installed so as to stand almost vertically from the outlet of the horizontal screw conveyor, thereby minimizing the installation floor space. This allows the floor surface to be used extremely effectively. In addition, since there is no inclined conveyor between the frozen meat cutting machine and the adjacent equipment, both equipment can be located close together, allowing one operator to operate both equipment, which greatly improves work efficiency. good for
