Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is a method for automatically and continuously incising and dissecting the small intestines of animals such as pigs, which are used as raw materials for hams, sausages, etc.
It relates to a processing device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as this type of animal small intestine incision treatment apparatus, one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 42-25959 is known. That is, only the front of the main body of the device is open, one end is fixed to the rear inner wall of the main body, and the support rod projects horizontally to the center of the water tank.A hook-shaped guide rod is provided at the tip of the support rod, and the cutting blade is held at the top of the support rod. The tables are connected and fixed, the clamping table holds a razor-shaped incision blade, and rotating bodies are provided on both sides of the guide rod for holding the animal's small intestine and transporting it rearward.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the incision processing device shown in the prior art, the animal small intestine is originally formed into a thin film that connects the spirally formed intestinal section and each intestinal tract. Although it consists of the fat and oil part of the intestine, it has the disadvantage that only the incision can be made in the intestinal tract. For this reason, in conventional small intestine incisions, once the small intestine has been incised, the thin film-like oil and fat parts that connect the intestines are manually separated one by one using a knife, etc. This is the current situation.

(Object of the present invention) In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention makes it possible to cut out the fat and oil connecting the intestinal tracts of the small intestine of an animal at the same time as the intestine incision, thereby making it possible to make the thickness of the fat uniform. The purpose is to provide a device.

(Structure of the Invention) Therefore, in the present invention, a guide plate having a notch groove is provided below the guide rod, and a rotary blade is arranged between the guide plate and the rotary transfer body in parallel with the guide plate. This rotary blade is designed to automatically cut off fat and oil at the same time as incising the intestinal tract.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the animal small intestine incision processing apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a water tank 2 is provided at the bottom of the device main body 1, and an incision processing section 3 is provided facing the water tank 2. The incision processing unit 3 includes a guide rod 4 inserted into the intestinal tract of the animal's small intestine to be incised, an incision blade 5 located above the guide rod 4 for incising the intestinal tract, and provided on both sides of the guide rod 4, It consists of endless belts 12, 12, which are rotary transport bodies that pinch and transport the animal's small intestine to the rear, and a rotary blade 9 that cuts away a thin film of oil and fat adhering to the intestinal tract. The guide rod 4 has a hook-shaped tip 4a, and is provided through the main body 1 to the rear of the main body 1, and has a pipe-like interior so that water can flow out from the hook-shaped tip 4a. At the top of the guide rod 4, there is a motor 1 which is a drive device.
A disc-shaped cutting blade 5 is provided which rotates in the vertical direction via a drive shaft 10. A notched groove 11 is provided in a portion of the guide rod 4 located directly below the cutting blade 5, as shown in FIG. Also,
Endless belts 12, 12 for transportation are arranged along the guide rod 4 on both sides of the guide rod 4, and the belts 12 are provided near the leading end 4a and rear end 4b of the guiding rod 4, respectively. cylindrical rotating bodies 8a, 8
It is made to rotate by b. The rotating bodies 8a and 8b are rotated by a motor 15 provided at the top of the main body 1 via drive shafts 8c and 8c. A guide plate 13 is provided below the guide rod 4 to guide oil and fat adhering to the intestinal tract, and a portion directly below the tip 4a of the guide rod 4 formed in a hook shape is a notched groove 13a. A rotary blade 9 that rotates horizontally in parallel with the guide plate 13 is provided between the guide plate 13 and the endless belts 12, 12.
5, it is horizontally rotatable via a rotating shaft 9a.

Further, the tip position of the rotary blade 9 can be moved up and down by operating a screw 9b provided on the rotary shaft 9a in FIG. 2, so that it can move toward and away from the guide rod 4.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, after filling the tank 2 with water or hot water, put the animal's small intestine into the tank 2 and insert one end of the animal's small intestine into the tip 4a of the guide rod 4. It is held between endless belts 12, 12 provided on both sides and is transported rearward along the guide rod 4. Next, the intestinal tract is sequentially incised by rotation of a disc-shaped cutting blade 5 provided on the upper part of the guide rod 4. At this time, the thin film of oil and fat that adheres to the intestinal tract is removed from the notch groove 13 of the guide plate 13.
a, and is cut off by the rotary blade 9 provided above the guide plate 13. The depth of the oil and fat to be cut can be freely adjusted by moving the rotary blade 9 up and down by operating the screw 9b of the rotary shaft 9a. The reason why the guide rod 4 is shaped like a pipe and allows water to flow inside is to simultaneously remove the waste accumulated inside the intestinal tract.

In this way, the animal small intestine, whose intestinal tract has been incised and the fats and oils adhering to the intestinal tract have been removed, is conveyed to the rear of the main body 1 while being held between belts 12, 12 provided on both sides of the guide rod 4. If a sizing cutting machine is further provided at the rear of this device, it becomes possible to automatically perform incision, removal of oil and fat, and slicing of the animal small intestine.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible not only to perform continuous incision of the intestinal tract, but also to automatically cut out fat and oil at the same time as the incision, which had previously been done manually. It has the excellent effect of making it possible to make the thickness of the oil and fat uniform evenly, and producing high-quality products.
