BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the animal intestinal obverse and reverse processing apparatus of the present invention.
[0013]
The animal intestinal obverse reversal processing apparatus 100 is a processing pipe 1 that is inserted into an animal intestinal tract 15 to remove and clean the contents, and also inverts and inverts the intestinal obverse, and a guide guide detachably fitted to the distal end of the processing pipe 1. 2, a cleaning water supply pipe 3 connected to the processing pipe 1, a carrier 5 provided around the processing pipe 1, and a vacuum tank 4 connected to the processing pipe rear end 1b.
[0014]
The guide 2 is detachably fitted to the distal end of the processing pipe 1 and guides the insertion of the processing pipe 1 into the intestinal tract opening section 15a of the animal. And wash the contents. This cleaning water is supplied from a cleaning water supply pipe 3 connected to the processing pipe 1. The cleaning water supply pipe 3 is provided with a water valve 3a for controlling supply / stop.
[0015]
The plurality of carriers 5 move the animal intestine 15 covered so as to cover the distal end 1a on the outer peripheral side of the processing pipe 1 in the direction of the rear end 1b of the processing pipe 1, and move the animal intestine 15 once pulled in front and back. It is an operation of returning to the processing pipe tip 1a direction for reversing, and is formed by either a roller having a gear-shaped projection or a belt having a projection, and in the case of normal rotation, an animal intestinal tract inserted into the outer periphery of the processing pipe. 15 is conveyed in the direction of the rear end 1b of the processing pipe, and when the end tube part 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 is inserted upside down into the processing pipe 1, the animal is reversely turned and dragged to the outer periphery of the processing pipe 1. The intestinal tract 15 is conveyed in the direction of the processing pipe tip 1a.
[0016]
When the suction valve (second valve) 4a of the processing pipe 1 is opened, the vacuum tank 4 sucks the animal intestine 15 inserted upside down and inserted into the tip 1a of the processing pipe 1. The vacuum pump 8 Is connected. The vacuum tank 4 has a wire mesh-shaped residue separating portion 4b below, and is provided with an outlet 4c for an inverted intestinal tract from which residue moisture has been removed. The carry-out port 4c is configured to be detachable by rubber packing or the like and to keep confidential.
[0017]
A rotary blade 6 for cutting off and separating the mesentery and grease attached to the animal intestinal tract 15, a driving unit 6 a of the rotary blade, and a guide groove for guiding the animal intestinal tract 15 before treatment are provided below the guide guide 2. There is provided a guide plate 7 having 7a, and a raw material tank 9 in which an animal intestinal tract 15 before treatment is stored.
[0018]
The mesentery and grease cutting mechanism of the animal intestinal tract 15 is preferably a known method for preventing the oil film layer from adhering by using two grease cutting horizontal rotating blades. (Not shown)
[0019]
2A and 2B are schematic views illustrating a method of inverting the intestinal tract of an animal, and FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view illustrating insertion of a guide 2. (B) is sectional drawing of the animal intestinal tract 15 covered by the outer peripheral side of the processing pipe. FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view of the animal intestinal tract 15 which is turned inside out on the inner peripheral side of the processing pipe 1 and sucked.
[0020]
FIG. 2A shows a state in which the connection thread 2a of the guide 2 is connected to the thread 1c of the distal end 1a of the processing pipe 1. Note that the connection between the guide 2 and the processing pipe 1 is not limited to screwing, and any one of them may be formed to have a smaller diameter and fitted.
[0021]
In this way, the starting tube portion 15a of the animal intestinal tract 15 can be easily covered on the outer peripheral side of the pipe tip 1a of the processing pipe 1 via the guide.
[0022]
As described above, the power supply of the transporting body 5 is turned ON so that the starting tube portion 15a of the animal intestinal tract 15 is sandwiched between the roller or the belt of the transporting body 5 and the outer periphery of the processing pipe 1 and rotates forward.
[0023]
The forward rotation of the plurality of carriers 5 causes the animal intestinal tract 15 to be sequentially pushed out toward the pipe rear end 1b of the processing pipe 1. The extruded animal intestinal tract 15 has a “wrinkle” shape as shown in FIG.
[0024]
FIG. 2B shows a state in which the end pipe 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 has stopped driving the carrier 5 near the end 1a of the processing pipe 1 and the guide 2 has been removed.
[0025]
Further, the cleaning water is discharged from at least the inside of the hollow cylinder of the processing pipe 1 from the rear end 1b side to the start end 1a side before the transport body 5 is rotated forward until the transport body 5 is stopped.
[0026]
To this end, the suction valve (second valve) 4a of the vacuum tank 4 shown in FIG. 1 is closed, the first water valve 3a of the cleaning water supply pipe 3 is opened, and water is directed toward the tip 1a of the processing pipe 1. Is released from the tip of the guide 2 into the animal intestinal tract 15.
[0027]
Thereby, the carrier 5 moves the animal intestinal tract 15 toward the rear end 1b of the processing pipe 1 while discharging the intestinal tract contents from the end tube portion and washing the inside of the animal intestinal tract.
[0028]
Next, FIG. 2c shows the final state in which the animal intestinal tract 15 is inverted. At the stage where the end pipe 15b of the animal intestine 15 is covered with the processing pipe 1, the first water valve 3a of the washing water supply pipe 3 is closed, and the guide 3 is removed from the processing pipe 1.
[0029]
That is, all the transport bodies 5 are gradually reversed. The end tube portion 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 moves toward the pipe tip 1a, and the end tube portion 15b passes through the pipe tip 1a and jumps out. The part of the end pipe portion 15b that has passed through is inserted into the inner periphery of the pipe tip 1a. In this state, on the inner peripheral side of the processing pipe 1, the front side of the animal intestinal tract 15 is inside, and the back side is outside.
[0030]
Here, the suction valve (second valve) 4a shown in FIG. 1 is opened, and the power supply of the vacuum pump 8 is turned on.
[0031]
When the vacuum pump 8 is driven, air is sucked from the processing pipe rear end 1b through the vacuum tank 4 in which the carry-out port 4c is closed.
[0032]
When the air is sucked, the end tube 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 in the processing pipe 1 is sucked.
[0033]
Further, at the same time, the animal intestinal tract 15 covered on the outer circumference of the processing pipe 1 by the reversing transport body 5 moves to the processing pipe tip 1a side. The liquid is sucked while being inverted to the circumferential side, and moves toward the end 1 b of the processing pipe 1. FIG. 2C shows the initial state.
[0034]
Although not shown, the sucked one animal intestinal tract 15 is turned upside down to its starting tube portion 15a, and all enters the inner peripheral side of the processing pipe 1 and passes through the processing pipe 1 through the vacuum tank 4 And is stored on the residue separating section 4b.
[0035]
The above-described method of inverting the animal intestinal tract 15 includes the following first, second, third, and fourth steps.
[0036]
In the first step, washing water flows into the animal intestinal tract 15 while removing the mesentery and fats and oils adhering to the animal intestinal tract 15, and the starting tube portion 15a of the animal intestinal tract 15 is detachably attached while washing the contents. This is a step of passing through the outer periphery of the processing pipe 1 via the guide 2 fitted to the outer periphery of the processing pipe 1, rotating the transport body 5 forward, and moving it to the axial rear end 1b of the processing pipe 1.
[0037]
In the second step, the end tube part 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 that has been washed in the first step and covered on the outer periphery of the processing pipe 1 is turned upside down with the tip 1a from which the guide 2 of the processing pipe 1 is removed. This is a step of inserting the inside of the processing pipe 1.
[0038]
In the third step, the vacuum pump 8 is driven while the carrier 5 is rotated in reverse, the air is sucked to make the air in the vacuum tank 4 negative pressure, and from the end tube portion 15b of the animal intestinal tract 15 to the start tube portion 15a. While sequentially turning the front and back at the front end 1a of the processing pipe 1, one animal intestinal tract 15 inserted into the inner peripheral side of the processing pipe 1 is sucked into the rear end 1b of the processing pipe 1, and the whole of the one animal intestinal tract 15 is front and back. This is a process of inverting and storing in the vacuum tank 4.
[0039]
The fourth step is a step in which after repeating the first to third steps, the vacuum pump 8 is stopped, air is supplied to the vacuum tank 4, and a plurality of inverted animal intestinal tracts 15 are collected.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
The animal intestinal upside down processing apparatus and the animal intestinal upside down processing method using the apparatus of the present invention have the following effects.
[0041]
The contents of the string-shaped animal intestinal tract having a length of several meters are efficiently washed and the appendages are excised, and as a subsequent process, the front and back can be easily inverted by setting the end tube of the animal intestinal tract. Then, one intestinal tract can be automatically inverted by suction. For this reason, a significant labor saving effect is achieved with respect to the conventional manual reversal process.
[0042]
Therefore, it is possible to efficiently and inexpensively provide a highly tasteful offal meat product obtained by inverting the intestine of an animal intestine in a large amount at low cost.
