Description

Cephalopod cleaning procedure and machine to do it.

Field of the Invention

This invention concerns a process and a machine whose mission is to perform an automated industrial cleaning treatment of cephalopods (such as squid, cuttlefish and other similar animals), so that, in addition to the separation of the head, tentacles and viscera, the internal cleaning of viscera remains and the external cleaning of the external mantle that is the external skin that surrounds the body of the headache is performed.

Prior art

A good cleaning of cephalopods requires, not just extract the head with the tentacles and the viscera and separate these parts through cutting operations; but it is also it is necessary to completely remove the remains of viscera that inevitably they remain attached to the inner wall of the body of the cephalopod, as well as the outer mantle of this body; Y we will understand from now on as a body the edible part of the animal.

The difficulty of doing this work in a way effective on a body of cephalopod flabby and slippery is certainly the reason that traditionally the cleaning of these animals is You have been doing it manually.

However, attempts to automation in this field although with little success, well because automation only reached a specific operation and not it manages to be a continuous production chain, well because the operations were not carried out with sufficient delicacy, and the result obtained is not satisfactory enough in in terms of cleanliness or weight loss in the operation.

At present it is common for this task, in particular internal cleaning, either manually or with the help of some mechanical means, it is done by turning over himself to the cephalopod body as if it were a sock. The procedures used today require a large amount of labor and / or production lines that occupy a large surface only suitable for large areas of a factory but not usable on small surfaces of, by Example, a restaurant.

Explanation of the invention and advantages

Improving this state of affairs, the object of The present invention is a process that, after Initial and manual placement of each cephalopod, is fully automated in the form of a continuous productive chain that gives as result in effective cleaning, both internally and externally, a non-aggressive treatment of the animal and, of course, the correct separation of head, tentacles and viscera.

To explain the invention we will use the words Positions, Sequential Detention, Operating Station and Operations and We will initially define its meaning.

Posts : They are each of the places established in the rotary circular table and that are materialized in a scraper spindle in which a cephalopod body is manually inserted.

Sequential stop: It is each one of the stops made by the scraper spindles in front of an operating station.

Operational station : It is each set of means destined to carry out some operations that are planned:

Station First or cargo operating; here the operational means are the Operator's hands, initially.

Station Second operational or evisceration means.

Station Third operative or interior cleaning means.

Station Fourth operating or thick exterior cleaning means.

Station Fifth operating or peripheral starter means.

Station Sixth operating or fine exterior cleaning means.

Station Seventh operating or interior washing means.

Station Eighth operational or media extractors-ejectors.

Operations : These are the maneuvers to be carried out in each operative station followed by the ordinal digit of the sequence in that station and so if in the second operative station five operations are performed, these will be second-one, second-two, second-three, second- Four and second-five.

The method according to the invention comprises an automated succession of operations that are performed in a compact and closed frame machine that has a plurality of positions materialized in a cross section scraper spindle  in the form of a star, established these posts near the edge on a rotating circular table that advances through arrests sequentially arranged in relation to some operating stations that are all located above the level of said rotary table and which are suitable for performing the process from the entrance of the animals in their initial state Natural and clean cephalopod body exit, in particular Sequential detentions for cleaning operations interior and exterior cleaning gross and fine in which the posts place a cephalopod body already eviscerated in relation with an operating station of interior cleaning means that act by friction difference when designed to produce an external clinging of the cephalopod body with a flexible constrictor core in conjunction with a rotation alternative of them, as well as operating stations of rude exterior cleaning means and fine exterior cleaning with elastic nails designed to travel the epidermis up and down of the cephalopod body; all this, in conjunction with the application of internal and external pressurized water jets that They drag the waste produced in each case. In this operating station organization the rotary table performs about first to eighth sequential detentions in which each position is located successively in relation to the operating stations, of so that: in the first sequential detention a first-one operation consisting of placing manually a cephalopod upside down on a scraper spindle last of the cephalopod body and in angular position such that the head is towards the periphery of the rotary table; in the second sequential arrest the head of the cephalopod is located in the field of action of rotating jaws belonging to the operating station of eviscerating media operating in this way, second-one operation, adjacent rotating jaw and open, second-two rotating jaw operation adjacent and closed; second-three jaw operation swivel rotated tearing off the viscera; operation second-four, cut off the viscera and discarded, and operation second-five release the head and tentacles that are collected for use and jaws swivels recover their horizontal position in preparation for operate on a new cephalopod; in sequential detention third the cephalopod body is vertically aligned under said operating station of interior cleaning means consisting of an adjustable pressure envelope membrane that grab the cephalopod body installed in the scraper spindle, successive operations taking place, such that in the third-one operation the envelope membrane of Adjustable pressure falls on the scraper spindle, receiving your breast the body of the cephalopod, in operation third-two pressure envelope membrane adjustable is constricted on the cephalopod body installed in the scraper spindle, in the third-three operation the adjustable pressure wrapping membrane performs a rotation alternative, and in operation third-four the Adjustable pressure envelope membrane relaxes and ascends to its starting position leaving the cephalopod body in said scraper spindle; in fourth sequential detention the body of cephalopod is vertically aligned under a means of rude exterior cleaning that incorporates a crown of first elastic nails that are likely to adopt different positions opening, or resting, and closing, or working, and accommodating  continuous shape to the variable diameter of the cephalopod body, successive operations taking place, such that in the operation fourth-one the crown of first nails elastic passes from its resting position to that of work, in the operation fourth-two the crown of first nails elastic falls down the epidermis of the body of the cephalopod, and in operation fourth-three the crown of first elastic nails it goes to its resting position and ascends to his primitive position; in the fifth sequential detention the cephalopod fins are located in operative conjunction with a peripheral boot media operating station that they consist of rotary clamps that perform the operations of: fifth-one rotary clamps open and inside, fifth-two, rotary clamps inside and closed with slight pressure on the fins; fifth-three Closed rotary clamps with slight pressure and coming out to orient ("comb") the fins out, operation fifth-four: trapped fins by strong closure of the rotating clamps once the body has been overcome; operation fifth-five: fin removal by downward rotation of the clamps  rotary; fifth-six operation; opening of clamps down where the loose of the torn material and the recovery of the primitive position of the operating station of peripheral start; in the sixth sequential detention the body of the cephalopod is aligned vertically under an operating station of fine exterior cleaning means incorporating a crown of second elastic nails; in all similar to the fourth season of rude exterior cleaning unless on second elastic nails its circle of meeting the tips at rest is of greater section (closer to the cephalopod body section); in the seventh sequential detention there is an operational station of washing means consisting of a water supply injector under pressure that operates between two horizontal positions, rear or unplugged and front or plugged in, taking place successive operations, seventh-one plugged in, seventh-two water supply inside the cephalopod body and seventh-three unplugged; in the eighth sequential detention the cephalopod body remains vertically aligned under a media operating station extractors-ejectors of the cephalopod body such consisting of a glass that has an elastic perforated bottom such that its pitch diameter is set by default to the contour of the scraper spindles and which is likely to operate between two vertical, top and bottom positions, and a flipped position, operations such that in the position taking place octave-one the glass goes to its lower position completely receiving the body of the cephalopod, in the operation octave-two the glass goes into position upper carrying the body of the cephalopod, and in the operation octave-three the glass goes into position flipped and delivers the cephalopod body to the tank of pick up

To carry out this agreement procedure with the invention, a machine consisting of a table is advocated rotary which is provided with a plurality of positions in which  practicable mode, two so-called pivots are anchored scraper spindles, height and thickness adapted to the caliber of cephalopod body, whose rotary table has means of discontinuous drive between sequential arrests in which scraper spindles of the posts, once upon them has been placed a cephalopod, they are aligned vertically so successive under operating stations that are all above of the upper level of this rotary table, and which are: station eviscerators operation, interior cleaning operating station,  rude exterior cleaning operating station, operating station  peripheral start of the fins (and mantilla) of the body of the cephalopod, fine exterior cleaning operating station, station operation of internal washing of said body, and operating station of extractors-ejectors of this body of cephalopod already clean; wherein, said operative station of interior cleaning operates by clinging the cephalopod body installed on the scraper spindle, in combination with a rotation alternative applied externally on this cephalopod body, and the rude exterior cleaning and operating stations Fine exterior cleaning operate from top to bottom on the epidermis of the cephalopod body as it is placed in said spindle scraper

In the description that follows a mode is detailed of preferential execution of the various means listed in the machine concept expressed in the previous paragraph, which facilitates the appreciation of the high degree of automation achieved, where the only manual intervention consists of initial placement of the cephalopod in each table position Rotary As you will see, this detailed description is illustrated. the preferred constitution of these means, such as the successive ones operations of the procedure carried out.

According to the invention, the cleaning procedure of recommended cephalopods comprises an automated succession of operations that are performed on a frame machine (1) compact that has (plural 1) a plurality of positions (6) materialized in a scraper spindle (11) of cross section in  star shape, established these posts (6) near the edge  on a rotary circular table (5) that advances through arrests sequentially arranged in relation to some operating stations (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) that are all they located above the level of said rotary table (5) and that are suitable to carry out the process from the entrance of the animals in their natural initial state and the exit of the body (2) of the  clean cephalopod, particularly sequential arrests for internal cleaning operations (13) and cleaning outer rude (14) and thin (16) in which the posts (6) they place a body (2) of the cephalopod already eviscerated in relation to an operating station of interior cleaning means (13) that act by friction difference when designed to produce an external clinging of the body (2) of the cephalopod with a flexible core (13C) constrictor in conjunction with a rotation alternative of the bodies (2) with respect to the scraper spindle (11), as well as with some cleaning stations operating stations rude exterior (14) and fine exterior cleaning (16) with nails elastic (14A, 16A) designed to travel from top to bottom the epidermis of the body (2) of the cephalopod in addition to the season operative of eviscerating media (12); all in conjunction with the application of internal and external pressurized water jets that drag the waste produced in each case. To carry carry out this cleaning procedure, said rotary table (5) performs sequential arrests first to eighth in which each position (6) is placed successively in relation to the operational stations (11 to 18), so that: in detention sequential first takes place a first-one operation consisting of manually placing a cephalopod mouth down on a scraper spindle (11) as a body last (2) of the cephalopod and in angular position such that the head (3) is towards the periphery of the rotary table (5); in detention sequential second head (3) of the cephalopod is located in the field of action of rotating jaws (12A) that belong to the operating station of eviscerating means (12) operating in this way, second-one operation, rotating jaw (12A) adjacent and open (Figures 14, 15), operation second-two adjacent rotating jaw (12A) and closed (Figures 16, 16A and 17); operation second-three rotating jaw (12A) rotated tearing off the viscera (12F) (Figures 18, 18A, 19); operation second-four, cut of the viscera (12F) and scrapped, and operation second-five the release of the head (3) and tentacles that are collected for use and the rotating jaws (12A) recover their horizontal position in preparation to operate on a new cephalopod; in detention sequential third the body (2) of the cephalopod is vertically aligned under said operative station of cleaning means interior (13) consisting of a pressure envelope membrane adjustable (13E) that seizes the body (2) of the installed cephalopod on the scraper spindle (11), operations taking place successive, such that in operation third-one the Adjustable pressure envelope membrane (13E) descends on the scraper spindle (11) receiving the body (2) of the cephalopod, in operation third-two the membrane Adjustable pressure envelope (13E) is constrained on the body (2) of the cephalopod installed in the scraper spindle (11), in the third-three operation the envelope membrane of Adjustable pressure (13E) performs an alternate rotation of the body (2) with respect to the scraper spindle (11), and in operation third-four pressure envelope membrane Adjustable (13E) relaxes and ascends to its starting position leaving the body (2) of the cephalopod in said scraper spindle (eleven); in fourth sequential detention the body (2) of the cephalopod is vertically aligned under a means of rude exterior cleaning (14) incorporating a crown of first elastic nails (14A) that are likely to adopt paths opening, or resting, and closing, or working positions, and to accommodate continuously to the variable diameter of the body (2) of the cephalopod, with successive operations taking place, such that in operation fourth-one the crown of first elastic nails (14A) passes from its resting position to that of work, in operation fourth-two the crown of first elastic nails (14A) descends through the epidermis of the body (2) of the cephalopod, and in operation fourth-three the crown of first elastic nails (14A) goes to its resting position and ascends to its primitive position; in sequential detention fifth fins (2A) of cephalopod are located in operative conjunction with a station operation of peripheral starting means (15) consisting of Rotary pliers (15A) that perform the operations of: fifth-one rotary clamps (15A) open and inside (Figures 20, 21, and 21A), fifth-two, tweezers rotary (15A) inside and closed with slight pressure on the fins (2A) (Figures 22 and 23); fifth-three pliers Rotary (15A) closed with slight pressure and coming out to orient ("comb") the fins (2A) out (Figures 24 and 25), operation fifth-four: caught fins (2A) for strong closing of the rotating clamps (15A) a once the body has been overcome (2) (Figures 24 and 25); operation fifth-five: fin starter (2A) per turn towards below the rotary clamps (15A) (Figures 26, 27); operation fifth-six; clamp opening (15A) below where the release of the torn material and the recovery of the primitive position of the peripheral start operating station; in the sixth sequential detention the body (2) of the cephalopod remains vertically aligned under a media operating station fine exterior cleaning (16) incorporating a second crown elastic nails (16A); in all similar to the fourth season of rude exterior cleaning (14) except in the second nails elastic (16A) its circle of meeting the tips at rest is of smaller section (closer to the cephalopod body section); in the seventh sequential detention there is an operational station of washing means (17) consisting of an injector (17A) of pressurized water supply that operates between two positions horizontal, rear or unplugged and front or plugged in, successive operations taking place, of seventh-one plugged in, seventh-two water supply inside the body (2) of the cephalopod and seventh-three unplugged; in detention sequential octave the body (2) of the cephalopod is vertically aligned under a media operating station of body extractors-ejectors (2) cephalopod consisting of a vessel (18A) that has a bottom elastic bored that its pitch diameter is adjusted by defect to the contour of the scraper spindles (11) and that is liable to operate between two vertical positions, upper e bottom, and a flipped position, operations taking place such that in the eighth-one position the vessel (18A) it goes to its lower position receiving completely in its bosom body (2) of the cephalopod, in operation octave-two the vessel (18A) goes into position upper carrying the body (2) of the cephalopod, and in the operation octave-three the vessel (18A) passes to its turned position and delivers the body (2) of the cephalopod to collection deposit.

To perform this procedure the invention advocates a machine consisting (figures 1 and 2) of a rotary table (5) which is provided with a plurality of seats (6) in which practically two pivots are anchored called scraper spindles (11), height and thickness adapted to the caliber of the body (2) of the cephalopod, said rotary table (5) owns: means of discontinuous drive between arrests sequential in which the scraper spindles (11) of the posts (6), once a cephalopod has been placed on them, they are vertically aligned successively under stations operations that are all above the upper level of this rotary table (5), and what they are, eviscerators operating station (12), indoor cleaning operating station (13), station rude exterior cleaning operation (14), operating station peripheral start (15) of the fins (and mantilla) (2A) of the body (2) Cephalopod, fine outdoor cleaning operating station (16), operating station for internal washing (17) of said body (2), and extractor-ejector operating station (18) of this body (2) of cephalopod already clean; where, bliss indoor cleaning operating station (13) operates by clinging of the body (2) of the cephalopod installed in the scraper spindle (11), in combination with an alternative rotation applied externally on this cephalopod body (2), and the stations Rude exterior cleaning operations (14) and exterior cleaning fine (16) operate from top to bottom on the body's epidermis (2) of the cephalopod as it is placed in said scraper spindle (eleven). The preferred configuration of the rotary table (5) is detailed in figures 35 and 36, where it is shown that it consists of a wheel-shaped base with radial arms (5B) that start from a ring in which these positions are established (6); About this wheel is installed, for example by welding, a cover conical (5A) that facilitates the sliding cleaning of the waste (due to gravity itself, facilitated by permanent moisture released from the cephalopods and the drag exerted by the water of said overhead showers); in such a way that all this drag ends (figure 2) in the collection hopper (9).
