Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a method for brushing the head of a pig, etc., in order to utilize the cheeks and other meat present in the head of a pig, etc. that has been separated from the carcass after slaughter. The present invention relates to a device for removing foreign matter.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, the inside of the head of pigs was not used much as waste meat, but because the meat contains an oil component that is different from the body and has a unique taste, it has recently been used for bok shumai, pork giza, and other uses. It has become widely used. Before using it, the head must be washed to remove foreign matter such as sludge that has adhered to it. In other words, heads sent from slaughterhouses are so contaminated that they cannot be used as is. First, the hair on the surface of the head is removed using a device called a skinner, but hair entangled in the meat fibers and foreign matter such as dirt and sand attached to the head cannot be easily removed. Conventionally, foreign objects were picked out completely by hand while pouring a large amount of water (approximately 25 ml of water per head). In addition, methods of removing dust using a jet stream of water and methods of sucking the dust using a dust vacuum machine have also been tried.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When using the above-mentioned conventional cleaning methods, it is difficult to remove foreign substances to a satisfactory degree, and manual cleaning is not only inefficient, but also requires the use of a large amount of water. There is.

Therefore, the present invention provides a head brushing method for pigs, etc., which has a simple structure and can satisfactorily purify the heads of pigs, etc., thereby increasing the commercial value of the inside of the pig's head. The purpose is to provide a device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a foreign matter collection port on the top surface of a box-shaped main body case, and above the foreign matter collection port rotatably supports a brush drum having a large number of brushes implanted in an irregular arrangement on its circumferential surface. The above problem has been solved by using a head brushing device for pigs etc.

The brush preferably comprises a bundle of thin rods of varying length.

[For production]

When a pig's head is placed between the top surface of the main body case and the brush drum and pressed down, foreign matter on the surface of the pig's head is scraped off by a group of rotating brushes, and the foreign matter is collected from the foreign matter collection port. The brushes are arranged irregularly, so they evenly hit the pig's head, allowing for even brushing.

〔Example〕

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of the configuration of a brushing device according to the present invention. In the figures, 12 is a brush drum, and a large number of brushes 13 are installed on the circumferential surface of the drum. Brush 13
The arrangement of is preferably irregular. For example, when arranging 5 in a horizontal row, the first row has 2 on both sides, the 2nd row has 3 on the inside, and the 3rd row has 2 on both sides and the center. The arrangement should be changed between adjacent rows.By doing this, the brush 13 will avoid hitting only the same position on the pig's head 1), and will be able to hit each part evenly and with varying degrees of force. This makes it possible to brush evenly and in good condition. The brush 13 is made by bundling thin rods 14 made of polypropylene, for example, and inserting them into a metal tube 15, but it is preferable that the lengths of the thin rods 14 are different as shown in FIG. In this way, the contact pressure of the tip of the brush 13 can be varied, making it easier for the tip to reach deep into the hollow of the pig's head. The bundle of thin rods 14 is preferably prevented from slipping out of the metal tube 15 by heating and melting the lower ends to form an enlarged portion 16 .

In order to fix the brush 13 to the brush drum 12, for example, the brush 13 may be exposed from the inside of the brush drum 12, and the exposed portion of the metal tube 15 may be crushed (see imaginary line 'WA' in FIG. 3). 17 is an angle member that pivotally supports the brush drum 12 on the main body case 18, and 19 is a motor that rotationally drives the brush drum 12. Main body case 18
is for collecting scraped foreign matter, and a foreign matter collection port 20 is provided below the brush drum 12 on the top surface, and the top surface of the main body case 18 is sloped downward toward the foreign matter collection port 20. There is. A hood 21 is installed at the upper end of the main body case 18 so as to cover the brush drum 12.

In this cleaning device, the pig's head 1) supplied onto the upper surface of the main body case 18 is pressed against the group of brushes 13 by an operator holding it down with both hands or mechanically holding it down. The group of brushes rotates in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 2 in such a way as to draw the pig's head 1) into the rHl with the top surface of the main body case 18, and is attached to the pig's head 1) by coming into contact with it. Scrape off foreign objects.

Since the brushes 13 are arranged irregularly as described above, various parts of the pig's head can be cleaned evenly, and the scraped foreign matter falls from the foreign matter collection port 20 and is collected in the main body case 18. Ru. The pig's head 1) is rotated as appropriate to change the brushing area. Note that before and/or after this brushing treatment, washing with water is performed as necessary.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is as described above, it has a simple configuration,
The head of a pig, etc. can be brushed reliably and efficiently, and the supply of a unique flavor inside the head of a pig, etc. can be expanded, thereby having the effect of increasing the scope and value of its use.
