Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a gizzard transport device.

In order to eat gizzard shad from chicken, etc., it is necessary to cut open the gizzard, wash out the digested food and other substances inside the gizzard, and then peel off the inner skin. Mechanization has recently been introduced to cut and process large amounts of edible gizzard, but conventionally the gizzard was transported by a conveyor, pressed down with a guide bar, and cut with a cutter. However, when processing with this method, the position of contact with the cutter blade changes depending on the size of the gizzard, resulting in over-cutting or under-cutting of the gizzard, resulting in a decrease in the value of the product. This is mainly due to the fact that the distance between the conveyor, the guide bar and the cutter that hold down the gizzard is fixed.

The purpose of this invention is to securely hold the gizzard, regardless of its size, when transporting the gizzard to the cutting device.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a conveyance device having a holder that always guides substantially the center of the gizzard to a cutter blade or positioning rod of an incision device.

To explain the present invention with reference to drawings, as shown in Fig. 1, a holder 1 that can be conveyed by a conveyor (not shown) has a slightly wider upper side so that the gizzard can be easily thrown in at the gizzard feeding stage. open U
It is kept in shape. The holder 1, which can be transported by a conveyor (not shown), has both side plates connected in a hinged manner so that it can be opened and closed. Therefore,
In order to maintain the holder 1 in a U-shape, the holder 1 is held by a pair of guide bars 3 symmetrically formed on both outer sides of the holder 1 (see FIG. 4). That is, in the step of adding gizzards, in order to make it easier to add gizzards and to ensure that the gizzards are stored, the guides are installed as shown in Figure 1 in order to leave the side panels of the holder slightly wider. Either the shape of the bars is changed to increase the distance between the guide bars, or the position of the guide bars is lowered as shown in FIG.
Since there is no need to compress the gizzard during feeding, another guide bar without the spring described below may be used, as shown in FIG. 4.
The front part of the holder 1, that is, near the end opposite to the transport direction, holds the gizzard, and when transporting,
A rim 4 is provided to prevent the gizzard from escaping backwards. Usually, one gizzard is transported by one holder. After the gizzard is put in, the shape or height of the guide bar changes as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 3, so the holder 1 has two guide bars 3 on both sides (one guide bar is shown in Figure 1). (omitted) and conveyed by a conveyor in the direction of the arrow. To install holder 1 on the conveyor,
Any method may be used as long as the holder 1 can be opened and closed on a hinge. Each guide bar 3 has a first
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 3, a spring 9 is provided to bias the guide bar 3 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the holder 1.
Both side plates of the holder 1 are pressed inward through the holder 1. This is useful for reliably holding the gizzard and keeping the center position of the gizzard constant when the gizzard is placed in the holder 1, regardless of its size. That is, the gizzard has elasticity by its nature, and the spring 9 of the guide bar 3 always presses the hinged holder 1 inward from both sides with equal force, so the gizzard is elastic regardless of its size. , the gizzard is firmly pressed and held so that its center coincides with the center of the holder 1, so that almost the center of the gizzard can always come into contact with the cutter blade or the tip of the positioning rod described below. Become. Since the guide bar 3 is provided to the rear of the cutter 5, after the holder 1 passes through the cutter 5, the holder 1 is opened until both side plates of the holder become horizontal as shown in FIG. The removal of the gizzard or the next processing step is carried out.

The conveying device of the present invention is more effective when used in a gizzard incision device having the positioning rod 6 shown in FIG. That is, the holder 1 has a spring 9
The guide bar 3, which has a guide bar 3, is pressed from both sides of the holder toward the center to fix the gizzard (not shown) in the holder 1, and the positioning rod 6 has its tip inserted into the center of the gizzard. The gizzard that is inserted into the positioning rod 6 is conveyed together with the holder 1 and cut by the cutter 5. Since the tip of the cutter 5 is designed to fit into the groove 7 provided in the positioning rod 6, the gizzard is incised almost at the center. The opening plate 8 is attached to the positioning rod 6, and the gizzard is opened by the opening plate 8 provided behind the cutter groove 7 and attached to the positioning rod 6, and the digested matter such as food in the gizzard is also removed here. It will be done. At this time, the holder 1 that has passed through the cutter 5 is opened outward to both sides because the guide bar 3 is cut. Of course, the conveyance device of the present invention can be used with any other structure of incision device and conveyance of objects having similar properties other than gizzard.

In this way, the conveying device of the present invention securely holds the gizzard regardless of its size, and by always guiding the approximate center of the gizzard to the cutter, the cutter can incise the gizzard. In doing so,
Effective in preventing over-cutting and under-cutting.
