[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cutting chicken tendon muscle tendons to separate chicken tendon muscle tendons from chicken breast meat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the work of separating a tendon attached to one side surface of chicken breast meat from chicken breast meat from the chicken meat meat from the center to the base end of chicken breast meat has been conventionally performed by an operator. Although it was cut off with a sharp cutter by the work, this work was quite difficult and time-consuming because the tendons were thin and strong.

The present invention provides a muscle tendon resection method and a resection device for eliminating muscle tendons from chicken breast meat which solves the above drawbacks.

The present invention relates to a muscle tendon resection method.

Further, a sprocket-shaped turntable 3 is partially provided on the table 2 provided on the machine body 1 so as to project from the surface of the table 2, and the muscle tendon a ₁ of the chicken meat a is attached to the projecting portion of the turntable 3.
A holding body 4 in the form of a rotating chain for holding the
A guide body 5 is provided on the front side surface of the rotary table 3 for lightly pressing the chicken meat a portion on the front side of the rotary table 3, and the knife body 6 for separating the muscle tendon a ₁ of the sandwiched meat a held by the rotary disk 3 and the sandwiching body 4 is rotated. The present invention relates to a cutting device for muscle tendons of chicken breast, which is provided close to the front side of the top of the board 3.

Further, according to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a muscular tendon excision device for chicken breast, wherein the periphery of the rotary table 3 on the supply side of the chicken meat a is formed into a tapered surface.

Further, the chain-shaped endless holding body 4 is cyclically transferred by the three sprocket-shaped transfer guide plates 7, 8 and 9 so that the holding body 4 is provided in a meshed state on the peripheral edge of the top of the rotary disk 3. The muscle tendon resecting device according to claim 2, wherein the chicken meat a with the tendon a _{1 is} transferred to the knife body 5.

[0009]

The operation of claim 1 will be described.

Chicken meat a on a table 2 provided on the machine body 1
When the muscle tendon a _{1 of the above} is placed on the back side and supplied to the excision portion, the muscle tendon a ₁ part protruding to the back side of the meat fillet a is held by the peripheral edge of the turntable and the sandwiching body moving along the peripheral edge. While rotating the turntable, it is transferred along the circular edge of the turntable, and the tendon a ₁ of the meat fillet a is cut by the cutting process.
Then, the chicken breast a and the muscle tendon a ₁ are separated and collected separately.

The operation of the second aspect will be described.

Chicken meat a on a table 2 provided on the machine body 1.
When the meat is placed on the turntable 3, the tendons a ₁ of the chicken meat a are turned into a sprocket-like turntable 3 and a holding body 4 like a turnchain.
It is transported while being held by, and the chicken meat a is lightly pressed against the front side surface of the rotary disk 3 by the guide body 5 provided on the front side surface of the rotary disk 3, while sliding on the inner surface of the guide body 5 as the rotary disk 3 rotates. The knife body 6 transferred to a position slightly above the surface of the table 2 and provided in the vicinity of the rotary disk 3 with the top of the rotary disk 3 sequentially downwards from the holding portion of the muscle tendon a ₁ to the tendon a from the muscle tendon a _1. Cut a ₁ thinly so that it is killed.

The operation of the third aspect will be described.

Since the rim of the rotary plate 3 on the supply side of the chicken fillet a is formed into a tapered surface, the muscle tendon a ₁ of the chicken fillet a is held by the rotary plate 3 and the holding body 4 and transferred, and this muscle tendon a ₁ The attached chicken meat a is supported by the guide body 5 while being lightly pressed against the taper surface of the rotary table 3, and is transferred above the table 2 surface while sliding on the inner surface of the guide body 5 as the rotary disk 3 rotates. musculotendinous a ₁ than Sasaminiku a along the successive tapered surface from clamping portion of musculotendinous a ₁ by knife member 6 disposed in proximity to the tapered surface in the vicinity of the top of the rotary table 3 is taken it stripped.

The operation of claim 4 will be described.

Since the chain-shaped endless holding body 4 is cyclically transferred by the three sprocket-shaped transfer guide plates 7, 8 and 9, and the holding body 4 is provided in the meshed state on the peripheral edge of the top of the turntable 3, the table is provided. The muscular tendon a ₁ of the chicken breast a on 2 is introduced into a chain-shaped holding body 4 wound around a sprocket-shaped transfer guide board 7 and held by the holding body 4 and the periphery of the turntable 3 while being turned. Is transferred in a state of being meshed along the peripheral edge of the turntable 3 with the rotation of the turntable 3, and is successively moved downward from the holding part of the muscle tendon a ₁ by the knife body 6 provided near the turntable 3 near the top of the turntable 3. The tendon a ₁ is thinly killed from the chicken fillet a, the chicken fillet a and the tendon a ₁ are separately collected, and the holding body 4 is transferred again via the transfer guide plate 8 and the transfer guide plate 9. It is guided to the board 6 and circulated and transferred.
