Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A1.Object of the invention (industrial application field) The present invention is a method and apparatus for supporting squid when processing it. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for applying suction force when sandwiching the body of a squid between a support body and a restraining body to reliably support the body that does not move due to processing force.

(Conventional technology) Traditionally, squid are molluscs that tend to slip on their elusive shapes, so when processing such as removing internal organs, the body was manually held and supported to prevent it from moving due to the processing force. It is something.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When supporting squid by hand as described above, it is possible to mechanize processing such as removing internal organs to save manpower, improve work efficiency, and process large quantities at low cost. There was a problem that made it impossible to realize this.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by sandwiching the body of a squid between a support body provided with suction means on one or both sides and a suppressor body, it is possible to remove internal organs, etc. Even during machining where a large force is applied, the body does not move and is supported stably and reliably. The object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus that can achieve complete automation of evisceration and other processing simply by combining with squid processing equipment.

Structure of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) The means of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is to sandwich the body of the squid from the outside between a support body and a restraint body, and A squid support method in which suction means provided on one or both of the bodies act on the body to fix the body so that it does not move due to processing force.

and a support and a suppressor for sandwiching the body of the squid from the outside, an adsorption means provided on the side of one or both of the supports and the suppressor in contact with the body, and opening and closing of the support and the suppressor. The structure of the supporting device is such that the supporting device is provided with a means for

(Function) In the method and apparatus of the present invention described above, a support provided with adsorption means on one or both sides and a suppressor are placed open, and raw squid is supplied between the two to separate the support and the suppressor. When you close your body,
The suction means acts on the torso and suctions and fixes the torso to the clamping body, so in this state, even if you grab and pull the head and legs, the torso will not move and remain stable. This ensures that the mechanical internal organs can be pulled out reliably.

Furthermore, once the internal organs have been pulled out, by opening the supporting body and the holding body, the suction means is separated from the body, so that the squid can be easily taken out from the supporting body.

(Example) Examples of the method and apparatus for supporting squid according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 7 of the drawings, reference numerals 1 and 2 are a supporting body and a restraining body that correspond to each other, and are usually in contact with the body part a of the squid from above and below to sandwich this. 2 is supported on a pivot 3 as shown in FIG. 1, or the - side edge is connected to the support 1 by a hinge 4 as shown in FIG. 3, or
As shown in FIG. 4, the support body 1 and the restraining body 2 are configured to be opened and closed by being moved up and down along the guide 5,
If these supporting body 1 and restraining body 2 are each formed into a semicircular shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the body part a will be supported in a natural body with a circular cross section. Therefore, as shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-177701, one leg of the head is gripped by a gripping means to provide support suitable for the process of pulling out internal organs, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. If the support body is formed in a semicircular shape and the presser body 2 is formed flat so that the joint C side between the body portion a and the inner portion lb is in contact with the flat presser body 2,
Since the body part a is deformed into a semicircular shape and the joint part C becomes flat, another prior application, Japanese Patent Application No. 1-258279 225828
As shown in No. 0, the joint C between the body part a and the viscera is cut by a cutting means to provide support suitable for processing to remove the viscera, and in this case, the above On the other hand, even if the support body 1 is formed flat and the suppressor body 2 is formed semicircular,
The same function as described above can be achieved by reversing the feeding conditions of the squid.

As shown in the earlier patent application No. 1-177701, the supporting body 1 and the suppressing body 2 described above are attached in large numbers to a turret, a conveyor, etc. at predetermined intervals, and are moved in a cyclical manner. By opening and closing the squid, it is possible to support and take out the squid in a fixed position.

Reference numeral 6.6' denotes an adsorption means provided on one or both of the support body 1 and the suppressor body 2 described above, and as shown in FIGS. , and when connecting a vacuum device or a suction pipe 8 of a pressure reducing device (both figures omitted) to these hollow parts 7, on the side of the support body 1 and the suppressor body 2 that are in contact with the body part a of the squid, A large number of vents communicating with the hollow part 7 are provided and used as the adsorption means 6. When the hollow part 7 is depressurized by a vacuum device or a decompression device, the vents suck and remove air, and the body part a of the squid is removed. Either by adsorbing and fixing it on the support body and the holding body 2 by vacuum phenomenon, or by providing a hollow part 7 only on the holding body 2 side as shown in FIG. A suction pipe 8 is connected to the body 2, and a large number of ventilation holes are provided as suction means 6 communicating with the hollow part 7 on the side of the holding body 2 that contacts the body of the squid, thereby preventing the body 2 from being fixed by suction. Alternatively, a large number of small suction cups as suction means 6' may be attached to one or both of the supporting body 1 and the suppressing body 2 on the side that is in contact with the body a of the squid at intervals such that they do not interfere with each other. When the support 1 and the holding body 2 are closed, these suction cups are pressed against the body a of the squid to exhaust the internal air, and the resulting vacuum phenomenon causes the body a of the squid to be pressed against the support l and the holding body a. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, a suction cup as the suction means 6' may be attached only to the holding body 2 side, and the body part a may be suctioned and fixed only to the holding body 2 side. It is something that you should do.

Incidentally, when the suction means 6,6' is provided on either the support body 1 or the restraining body 2, the anti-slip member 9 may be attached to the other.

10 and 10' are means for opening and closing the support body 1 and the restraining body 2, as shown in FIG. In this case, the cam acting on a lever 11 attached to the holding body 2 is used as an opening/closing means, and when the lever 11 engages with the pushing part of the cam in the closed position, the holding body 2 is closed, and the pushing part of the cam is closed. When the presser body 2 is opened by the spring 12 and the presser body 2 is supported by the guide 13 so as to be able to move up and down, the cylinder with the rod 14 connected to the presser body 2 can be used as the opening/closing means 10'. When the body 2 reaches the closed position, the cylinder is actuated to close the holding body 2, and when processing such as removal of internal organs is completed, the cylinder is reversely operated by a known timer or the like to open the holding body 2. The opening/closing means 10, 10' are not limited to the above-mentioned cams and seal rings, but pinions, racks, rotary actuators, and other means may be selected and used as appropriate.

C1 Effects of the Invention The method and device for supporting squid according to the present invention include a suction means attached to one or both of the support body and the holding body that sandwich the body of the squid, and the body of the squid is attached to the support body by suction. By fixing it to the holding body, it is possible to provide stable mechanical support that does not move even in processing where large processing forces are applied, such as removing internal organs, so this method and device can be used for removing internal organs and other processing. If it is used in a device that performs cutting, the processing by the device can be mechanized and only a small amount of manpower is required to feed the squid, or if the feeding is also mechanized, no manpower is required at all, and the processing can be performed continuously at high speed. As a result, work efficiency is significantly improved and processing costs can be significantly reduced.

Since the body of the squid is suctioned and fixed to the support or the holding body by the suction means, the body of the squid is not damaged by the support, so that the quality of the squid does not deteriorate in one yield.

It has the following unique effects.
