Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for winding thread around raw meat in producing ham, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.

(Conventional technology) There is a method of manufacturing ham by directly or indirectly wrapping thread around raw meat to shape it, but in mass production of ham, wrapping raw meat in casings or metal fittings without winding thread around raw meat is a method of producing ham. There are many ways to put it into a mold and adjust its shape. However, in recent years, due to the trend of respecting the original flavor, handmade ham, which involves wrapping raw meat directly or indirectly with string and fumigating it, has been reconsidered.
The method of winding a thread around raw meat using a machine is as shown in Figure 6, where a meat loaf A is held at both ends of the raw meat by a catch B of a rotating device, and when winding the thread around the meat loaf, there is a In order to prevent the raw meat from hanging down, multiple meridians C are passed between the two cables B to surround and support the raw meat, and a string 6 is placed above it.
The method used is to wrap the After winding the thread around the meat lump, the meat lump is pulled out from the meridian line C, but if the center of the meat lump is larger than the exit side of the meridian line,
Since the thread tightens the warp and the meat mass, there is a drawback that it is difficult to pull out the meat mass from the warp, and there is also a drawback that it is necessary to rely on human hands to prevent the thread from returning at the end.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) If the raw meat is placed horizontally and the thread is wound around it by a machine, the raw meat will be supported from both sides, and there is a problem that the raw meat will sag in the center, so the method shown in Figure 6 is proposed. I have no choice but to take it. Therefore, in the present invention, when winding the meat, the thread is wound vertically instead of horizontally, and the upper part of the irregularly shaped raw meat is caught and suspended, and the thread is wound around it. . There are two ways to wrap thread around suspended raw meat: either rotate the raw meat, or hold the suspended raw meat still and wrap the thread around it. The present invention suspends a meat loaf (raw meat itself or meat contained in a casing, etc.; the same shall apply hereinafter) and allows only up and down movement, and while letting out a string from the side at a constant height, the bobbin is attached to the meat loaf. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for winding a thread around a piece of meat by rotating it around the meat.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention includes a cylindrical body having an opening in the upper center surface;
It consists of a thread unwinding device configured to be rotatable around the cylindrical body, and a green meat suspension mechanism that can move up and down above the opening, suspending the green meat from above the opening into the cylindrical body, and suspending the thread tip. The thread is fixed to the flange facing downward, and the thread feeding device is rotated around the flange to wind the thread around the meat lump, so that the tip of the thread is sandwiched between the meat lump and the winding thread. It includes a step of releasing the lock, a step of winding the thread around the meat lump while raising the meat lump, and a step of pinching the end of the thread to the winding thread using a thread end clamping fitting when winding is completed. This is a green meat thread winding method and an apparatus for carrying out the method. This device is composed of a cylinder having an opening in the upper center surface, a thread feeding device that can rotate around the cylinder, and a green meat hanging mechanism that can move up and down on the opening and has a gripping claw. and a locking fitting capable of restraining and releasing the tip of the thread on the cylindrical opening flange portion, and a thread end clamping fitting that protrudes onto the flange at the end of winding the thread.
This is a meat loaf thread winding device having a thread cutting blade.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The thread feeding device 3 has an opening 2 in the upper center of a cylindrical body 1 and is rotatable around the cylindrical body 1. It consists of a meat loaf hanging mechanism 4 that can move up and down,
The mechanism 4 is configured to grip the meat directly or indirectly using horizontal skewers. Open meat lump A 2
It is suspended in the cylinder 1 from above and locked to the flange 5 with the tip of the thread 6 facing downward. The locking fitting 7 is provided in a recess provided on the upper surface of the flange 5, and is configured so that it does not get in the way even when the thread 6 crosses over the flange 5. Further, the flange 5 is provided with a thread end clamping fitting 8, which is a device for winding the thread into the meat lump, projecting it onto the flange 5 when winding is completed, and allowing the final end of the thread to pass under the winding thread. Also, flange 5
The thread cutting blade 9 is provided with a thread cutting blade 9 which is projected onto the upper surface of the flange 5 to cut the thread at the end of the thread winding.

(Function) Next, we will describe the method of winding a meat lump into a thread along with its function. When winding a thread around a meat lump A,
As shown in FIG. 1, the meat lump A is
is suspended from the upper opening 2 of the cylinder 1, lowered to such an extent that the upper part of the meat lump is slightly exposed above the upper surface of the flange 5, the thread is taken out from the thread feeding device 3, and the thread 6 is placed on the flange at the tip of the thread 6. It is locked in the locking metal fitting 7. Third
The figure is a sectional view showing a state in which the thread is locked. The thread feeding device 3 is rotated around the cylindrical body 1, the thread 6 is wound around the green meat A two or three times, and the locking fitting 7 is released. The end of the thread is sandwiched between the winding thread and the meat mass. Next, when the green meat hanging mechanism 4 is raised while the thread feeding device 3 is rotated around the cylindrical body 1, the thread 6 is spirally wound around the green meat at an appropriate pitch. When the thread is wrapped around the green meat A to the lower end thereof, as shown in FIG. 2, the lifting of the green meat hanging mechanism 4 is stopped. Then, the thread end clamping fitting 8 is made to protrude onto the flange 5. The thread end clamping fitting 8 has a protrusion 11 and a lateral groove 12 as shown in FIG.
and a protrusion bar 10, and the thread 6 is connected to the protrusion 11 of the metal fitting 8.
When the metal fitting 8 is further raised after passing around the meat lump once or twice while winding the thread 6, the thread 6 is fitted into the lateral groove 12. At this time, the locking fitting 7 and the thread cutting blade 9 are made to protrude above the flange 5. The yarn feeding device 3 is further rotated by half a turn and then stopped. The thread is wound around the horizontal groove 12 of the metal fitting 8 as shown in FIG. 5, and then the handle of the thread cutting blade 9 engages with the locking metal fitting 7 as shown in FIG. 4, so the locking metal fitting 7 is lowered. When the thread is cut by the thread cutting blade 9 and the raised rod 10 is pushed up, the thread end passes under the thread 6 on the protrusion 11. The tip of the protruding rod 10 passes through the central groove of the protrusion 11 so that the end of the thread can be sufficiently inserted into the thread 6. When the metal fitting 8 is then retracted from the upper surface of the flange 5, the thread 6 slides on the spatula part 13 at the tip of the metal fitting 8 and is wound around the meat mass A. The thread end can be held between the winding yarn and the meat lump due to the elasticity of the meat lump and the thread. Thereafter, the meat is removed from the meat hanging mechanism 4 and supplied to a predetermined fumigation process.

(Effects) As can be understood from the above explanation, when thread is wound around irregularly shaped raw meat, the shape is not constant, so it is not possible to produce a reliable and well-finished product unless the thread is wound by hand, but by applying the present invention. This allows threads to be wound around the raw meat regardless of the shape of the meat, making it possible to produce hand-made ham faster than by hand-rolling, which has the effect of making it possible to produce thread-wound ham in large quantities.
