Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Object of the invention (industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for supporting squid when processing squid, and more specifically, to a supporting body, a holding body, and an outer shape of a squid body. The present invention relates to a supporting method and device in which the torso is gripped without pressing the internal organs by providing matching recesses, and the removal of the internal organs by pulling them out is performed easily and reliably.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when processing fish, a device for supporting the fish so that it does not move due to the processing force is described in Microfilm of Utility Model Application No. 57980-1980 and Microfilm of Utility Model Application No. 139981-1980. The former is known as
One side of the center mounting frame is equipped with a fixed gripping tool, and the other side is equipped with a movable gripping tool, and a fixed receiving piece is provided at the bottom of both, and a movable pressing piece that can be raised and lowered is provided at the top of both, and fixed to the movable gripping tool. By approaching the clamping tool, the frozen fish body can be reliably clamped and the head and tail parts can be cut. installation,
By pressing this separation piece onto the fish using a biasing means linked to the support rod, raw fish or frozen fish of different sizes and shapes can be stably placed on the base and the fish can be cut into pieces. It is.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when the above-mentioned fish support device grips a squid, which is a mollusc, it does not have a means for regulating the shape of the squid. Because the organ gets stuck, removal by pulling out the internal organs is not possible.

The present invention was conceived in view of the above-mentioned current situation, and by forming approximately half recesses that match the outer shape of the body of the squid in the supporting body and the suppressing body,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device which can easily and reliably remove the internal organs by pulling them out by preventing the internal organs from being pressed down due to the shape restriction by the recesses even when a squid of a mollusc is grasped.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The method and device for supporting squid according to the present invention provides a support body provided with a recess shaped to fit approximately half of the external shape of a squid body. After supplying the squid, a suppressor having a recess shaped to fit approximately the remaining half of the outer shape of the squid body is placed on the squid, and the squid body is held down against its internal organs by the recess of the suppressor and the recess of the support. A method of gripping the squid from the outside by controlling its shape so that it does not move and securely attaching the squid so that it does not move due to processing force, and a support having a recess shaped to fit approximately half of the outer shape of the squid body. , a holding body provided with a concave portion having a shape that fits approximately the remaining half of the outer shape of the squid body; and when feeding the squid to the support body, the holding body is moved away from the support body; This problem is solved by a configuration in which the body is placed on a support body and is provided with an operating means for gripping the squid whose shape is to be controlled using the recessed portion.

(Function) In the squid supporting method and device according to the present invention, after placing the suppressor apart from the support and housing the squid body in the recess of the support, the suppressor is moved to the support by the operating means. When placed over the top, the lower half of the body fits into the recess of the support body, and the upper half fits into the recess of the restrainer, so if the shape of the recess is made approximately semicircular as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The shape of the squid body is restricted to a circle as shown in the same figure, and when the concave part of the support body is made semicircular and the holding body is shaped like a flat plate as shown in Fig. 7, the shape of the squid is made semicircular. In both cases, the trunk is separated from the internal organs and is strongly gripped by contacting the recess with a wide contact area.
If the head and legs are grasped and pulled as shown in Figures 3 to 3, the internal organs can be pulled out and removed easily and reliably. If anti-slip means are provided on one or both sides, the grip on the squid shell will be even stronger.

Once the internal organs have been pulled out as described above, when the holding body is separated from the supporting body of the squid, the squid body is released from its grasp and can be easily taken out from the recessed portion of the supporting body.

(Example) Examples of the squid supporting method and device according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 to 7 of the drawings, 1 and 2 are corresponding supports and restraints, which are usually viewed from above and below the body of the squid.
As shown in FIG.
Either the holding body 2 can be connected to the holding body 2 so that it can be expanded horizontally, or one end of the holding body 2 can be supported by the pivot 4 as shown in FIG. 6, and the holding body 2 can be expanded vertically.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG.
The supporting body 1 and the restraining body 2 have a recess 1' shaped to fit approximately half of the outer shape of the squid body a. and 2' are formed so that the vertical cross-sectional shape is as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and these recesses 1'
When the squid body a is gripped by the recesses 1' and 2', the squid body a comes into contact with the recesses 1' and 2' over a wide area and is strongly gripped, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Because it is separated from internal organ B and does not press it,
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the head d and legs e of the squid are gripped by the fixed piece 6 and the movable piece 7, and the rod 8 connected to the fixed piece 6 is supported by a reciprocating means 9 such as a cam. If the fixing piece 6 is moved in the direction away from 1 and pulled out, and then used for removing the internal organs by returning the fixed piece 6 by the spring 10, the internal organs b will be damaged because no resistance from the body a will be applied to the internal organs b. It can be easily removed without any damage.

Further, the support body 1 is formed with a recess 1' having a longitudinal side profile as shown in FIG. 6 and a longitudinal front profile as shown in FIG.
When the squid body a is sandwiched between the concave portion 1' of the support body 1 and the flat plate of the holding body 2 as shown in FIG.
The shape is restricted to a semicircular shape by the lower recess 1' and the upper flat surface, and it is strongly gripped by contacting the recess 1' and the flat surface over a wide area, and as shown in FIG. Since the joint c between the trunk a and the internal organs b is straight, the joint between the trunk a and the internal organs b is If used for removing internal organs by cutting c with a cutting tool such as a knife or water pressure and then extracting internal organs b, there will be no resistance to internal organs removal in this case as well, so internal organs b can be easily removed without damaging them. .

As shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-72839, the supporting body 1 and the holding body 2 described above are mounted in large numbers on a turning table, a conveyor, etc. at predetermined intervals and are moved in circulation, so that the holding bodies are sequentially moved. By opening and closing the squid, it is possible to feed and take out squid at a fixed position, and processes such as removal of internal organs can be carried out continuously and automatically.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a non-slip means provided on a part or all of the portion of one or both of the recess 1' of the support body 1 and the recess 2' of the suppressor 2 that contact the squid trunk a, as shown in FIG. The anti-slip means 11 can be placed in contact with the squid's body a by implanting thorn-like or brush-like materials as shown, or by forming an uneven or rough surface as shown in FIG. 2. In this way, even if a large processing force is applied such as when removing internal organs, slipping is prevented by frictional force, and the gripping force of the support body 1 and the restraining body 2 on the body a is further strengthened.

12 covers the support body 1 with the above-mentioned suppressor,
When one side edge of the presser body 2 is hinged to the support body 1 as shown in FIG. 4, and when the one side edge is supported on the pivot 5, the presser body 2 By means of the cam 12 acting on the roller 14 of the attached lever 13, when the lever 13 engages the push-up part 12' of the cam 12 in the closed position, the presser body 2 is closed and the push-up part of the cam 12 is closed. 12', the restraining body 2 is opened by the spring 15, and when the restraining body 2 is supported by the guide 5 so as to be movable up and down as shown in FIG. 5, the rod 16 is connected to the restraining body 2. Using the cylinder 12, when the cylinder 12 is actuated, the suppressor 2 closes, and when the internal organs are removed, the cylinder 12 is reversely operated and the suppressor 2 is closed.
The operating means is not limited to the above-mentioned cams and cylinders, but pinion racks, rotary actuators, and other means can be selected and used as appropriate.

C. Effects of the Invention In the squid supporting method and device according to the present invention, when the squid body is sandwiched between the support body and the restraining body, the form of the squid body is restricted by the recesses provided in these so that the squid body does not press down on the internal organs. Since the squid can be gripped strongly and the internal organs can be removed by pulling out the internal organs without damaging them, if this method and device are combined with a device for removing internal organs and other processing,
If the processing is mechanized, only a small amount of manpower is required to supply the squid, or if the supply is also mechanized, no manpower is required at all.Moreover, the processing is carried out continuously at high speed, which significantly improves work efficiency. In addition, if one or both of the concave portions of the supporting body and the holding body are provided with anti-slip means, the squid can be gripped even more securely, making it possible to process the squid using slips. This has the special effect of eliminating defects and damage to the squid.
