KR-20260063143-A - Cutter for sea cucumber bellies cutting machine

Abstract

A "slitting blade for a sea cucumber slitting machine" is disclosed. The sea cucumber slitting machine may include a sea cucumber conveying belt (210) in which a blade insertion path (211) is formed along the longitudinal direction in the central area of the plate surface while the sea cucumber is conveyed; and a sea cucumber length sensing sensor unit (400) for detecting the total length of the supplied sea cucumber. Here, the rupture blade of the present invention preferably comprises: a blade body (510) provided at the lower part of the sea cucumber transport belt (210) and inserted into the belly of the sea cucumber through the blade insertion path (211); a blade fixing block (520) supporting the lower part of the blade body (510); and a blade position driving unit (540) provided at the lower part of the blade fixing block (520) and moving the blade fixing block (520) so that the blade body (510) is inserted at a central position along the entire length of the sea cucumber and moves to the mouth of the sea cucumber to rupture it.

2. In paragraph 1, A slitting blade for a sea cucumber slitting machine, characterized by further including a blade position adjustment unit (550) that adjusts the blade position driving unit (540) to the center position of the sea cucumber so that when the sea cucumber length detection sensor unit (400) detects the length of the sea cucumber, the blade body (510) moves to the center position of the sea cucumber.
3. In paragraph 2, A slitting blade for a sea cucumber slitting machine, further comprising a blade lifting cylinder (533) provided between the blade body (510) and the blade fixing block (520) to raise and lower the blade body (510) between the lower part of the sea cucumber transport belt (210) and the height at which it is inserted into the belly of the sea cucumber through the blade insertion path (211).

Description

Cutter for sea cucumber bellies cutting machine The present invention relates to a slitting blade for a sea cucumber slitting machine, and more specifically, to a slitting blade for a sea cucumber slitting machine that automatically slits the belly of a sea cucumber. With growing interest in health and well-being, sea cucumbers are becoming increasingly popular in East Asian countries, including Korea and China, as a top health food or stamina food, often referred to as the "ginseng of the sea." Sea cucumbers are rich in protein, polysaccharides, and minerals. Unusually for seafood, they contain an ideal ratio of calcium to phosphorus and are rich in calcium, which is essential for physiological functions such as normal muscle contraction as well as tooth and skeletal formation. When prepared as food, these sea cucumbers can be eaten raw, or cooked in dishes such as stir-fries, steamed dishes, or soups. Sea cucumbers are eaten raw or are usually processed into dried sea cucumbers for distribution and use in cooking. Processing dried sea cucumbers requires the process of gutting the fresh sea cucumbers and removing the internal organs. However, there is a problem in that the gutting process of fresh sea cucumbers requires a significant amount of time and manpower. Specifically, since fresh sea cucumbers have a slippery surface and their backs and bellies face in different directions, manual labor is required, with workers holding each one by hand and cutting the belly open with a knife. Consequently, there is the laborious task of requiring 4 to 5 workers solely for the gutting of fresh sea cucumbers. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of a sea cucumber gutting device according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a sea cucumber being ruptured by a sea cucumber rupturing device according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the slitting blade of a sea cucumber slitting device according to the present invention. FIGS. 4 and FIGS. 5 are cross-sectional examples illustrating the rupture process of the rupture blade of a sea cucumber rupture device according to the present invention. FIGS. 6 to 8 are cross-sectional examples illustrating the process of slaughtering a sea cucumber using a sea cucumber slaughtering device according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings, under the premise that identical reference numerals in the drawings refer to identical components. When a component is described as "comprising" another component in the detailed description of the invention or the claims, this shall not be interpreted as being limited to being composed solely of said component unless specifically stated otherwise, but shall be understood as potentially including additional components. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of a sea cucumber slaughtering machine (1) to which a slaughtering blade (500) according to the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a sea cucumber, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of a slaughtering blade (500). As shown in FIG. 1, the sea cucumber slitting machine (1) to which the slitting blade (500) of the present invention is applied automatically slits the belly of a sea cucumber (A) without manual work by a worker. To this end, the sea cucumber slitting device (1) comprises a sea cucumber supply unit (100) that supplies sea cucumbers (A) one by one, a sea cucumber transport unit (200) that transports the sea cucumbers (A) supplied from the sea cucumber supply unit (100), a sea cucumber fixing lever (310) that fixes the position of the sea cucumbers (A) transported to the sea cucumber transport unit (200), a sea cucumber length detection sensor unit (400) that detects the length of the sea cucumbers (A) fixed to the sea cucumber transport unit (200) by the sea cucumber fixing lever (310), a slitting blade (500) of the present invention that slits the sea cucumbers (A) from the lower part of the sea cucumber transport unit (200), a sea cucumber fixing jig unit (600) that moves up and down from the upper part of the sea cucumber transport unit (200) and presses the sea cucumbers (A) so that the slitting blade (500) can slit the sea cucumbers (A), and the slitting device It includes a sea cucumber collection container (700) in which a sea cucumber (A) is collected, and a control unit (not shown) that controls each component so that the sea cucumber (A) is ruptured and collected in the sea cucumber collection container (700).
