Description

Detailed Description of the Invention A. Object of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is an apparatus for removing internal organs during processing and cooking of squid. Specifically, by combining a support rod for the body of a squid with a cutting member that separates the internal organs from the body, the internal organs of a squid can be efficiently removed without any damage due to its extremely simple structure. Regarding equipment.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the body of a squid is fitted into two U-shaped arms so that the internal organs are attached between the arms, and a support plate is pressed from the outside against the body, and this plate and the above-mentioned A squid support device for holding the body of a squid between arms is known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-99743.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Although the squid supporting device described above can fix the squid so that it does not move due to processing force, it does not include a cutting member for cutting off the internal organs from the arms of the squid being supported. This support device is placed at the evisceration station in the circuit, which is transported by a rotary table, with a knife blade that moves upward in the space between the two arms and the torso, and how the knife reaches the station. Since the squid must be fed out after it has stopped and cut off at the location where the internal organs are attached, misalignment between the cuttlefish and the knife blade will inevitably occur, causing the knife blade to cut into the body, impairing the quality and yield of the product. In addition to the problems of cutting the internal organs and spilling out the contents, wasting the useful substances inside, and increasing the burden of wastewater treatment, it is also possible to separate the support and knife blade in separate positions. If the device is installed in Cutting with the knife blade at the location where the viscera is attached can only be done after the support supporting the squid at the feeding position reaches the viscera cutting station and stops, which poses the problem of low work efficiency.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a pair of support rods that support the body of a squid from the inside support a cutting member that separates the internal organs from the body, thereby supporting the movement of the cutting member. Since the cutting member is guided by the squid's body to ensure that there is no misalignment of the cutting member relative to the squid, the cutting member cuts only the joint without cutting into the body or internal organs. If these are combined, the device can be made compact and there is no need for a means to align the position and timing of the support rod and the cutting member, and the cutting member can be operated while the support rod is moving to separate the torso from the internal organs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a squid evisceration device that can improve work efficiency.

B. Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) The squid viscera removing device according to the present invention is capable of fitting a squid body into a pair of support rods, and is capable of attaching the squid body and viscera to each other. A holding body is disposed on one of these support rods so as to accommodate the joint portion of the squid, and a suppressor is provided on one of these support rods to press against the body of the squid from the outside and sandwich the body of the squid between the support rod and the support rod. , the problem is solved by a configuration in which guides are correspondingly provided inside the pair of support rods, and a cutting member for cutting the joint between the trunk and internal organs of the squid is engaged with these guides. .

(Function) The squid viscera removing device of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration has the following steps:
Since the support rod supports the body of the squid from the inside, if the holding body is then pressed to the outside of the body of the squid by the elevating means, the body is held between the support rod and the holding body and becomes immovable. Then, while moving the support rod toward the next stop position, the cutting member that separates the internal organs from the body is pushed out using a cam, cylinder, or other advance/retreat means, and the cutting member is guided by the guide provided on the support rod. In order to advance between the support rods, the operation of cutting through the joint without causing any cuts to the body or internal organs and separating the internal organs from the body without damage is performed until the support rods reach the next stopping position. It is something that will be completed.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the squid evisceration device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
