DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to improvements in a manufacturing apparatus in which, at the time of manufacturing hams, sausages or the like, the processes of metering the weight of a raw material of the hams, sausages or the like to an arbitrarily selected amount and of taking out the metered raw material of the hams, sausages or the like are mechanized, thereby stabilizing the product quality to a fixed level and speeding up the operation.
BACKGROUND ART
The applicant has already developed an apparatus for mechanically manufacturing hams or the like, has obtained a patent therefor, and has marketed this product (refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 164737/1981).
This publicly known apparatus for manufacturing hams or the like is arranged as follows.
Referring to FIGS. 31 and 32, reference numeral 101 denotes a hopper, in which an upper die 102 and a lower die 103 are arranged in a two-split configuration. Its inner peripheral surface is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a meat mass is filled therein. It should be noted that if the shape of the ham or the like is angular such as quadrangular, it is possible to arrange the inner peripheral surface in an angular configuration. The upper die 102 is secured to hinges 104, and as the hinges 104 are rotated about a shaft 105, the upper die 102 is placed on the lower die 103. This operation is effected as rods 106 are vertically moved by means of an unillustrated cylinder and the like via links 107.
Reference numeral 108 denotes a cylinder, and a force pusher 109 is disposed on a tip of a rod thereof. The force pusher 109 is disposed at one end of the hopper 101 in face-to-face relation therewith, and is adapted to force the meat mass filled in the hopper 101 into a meat metering port which will be described later.
Reference numeral 110 denotes a rotating displacement body, which is disposed at the other end side of the hopper 101 and rotates in a forward direction about a shaft 111 in this embodiment.
The displacement body 110 has end plates 112 respectively disposed at opposite ends thereof, and four sleeves 113 are clamped therebetween. An inner port of each sleeve 113 is formed as a meat metering port into which the meat mass is filled, and circular ports are provided in the respective end plates 112 in conformity with the meat metering ports.
Reference numeral 114 denotes a variable metering device, in which the position of a stopper 115, which is inserted into the metering port in the aforementioned sleeve 113, is changed by a handle 116.
Reference numeral 117 denotes an extruding cylinder, which is adapted to extrude the meat mass filled in the metering port in the sleeve 113 to the outside by reciprocating a pusher 128 (see FIG. 36 to which reference will be made later) disposed at a tip of a rod 118 thereof. A discharge nozzle 119 allows an unillustrated casing to be put over the meat mass when the meat mass extruded by the extruding pusher 128 is discharged, so that the meat mass is stuffed into the casing by a manual operation to make a ham or the like.
Referring to FIG. 33, the lower die 103 is affixed to a bed 120, and as the upper die 102 is inserted into the lower die 103, an inner peripheral surface is formed in their interiors.
The upper die 102 is affixed to the hinges 104 via a mounting plate 121, the hinges 104 being rotatably secured to the shaft 105. The rods 106 project from below the bed 120, and are affixed to the hinges 104 via the links 107, respectively. The hinges 104 and the rods 106 are disposed in two pairs on the upper die 102, and the opening and closing thereof are simultaneously controlled via a cylinder 123 and an arm 124 both shown in FIG. 34.
Referring to FIG. 34, the cylinder 108 is affixed on the bed 120, and the force pusher 109 reciprocates in a circumferential inner port 125 of the hopper 101.
The displacement body 110 holds the four sleeves 113 between the circular end plates 112. One of the sleeves 113 is disposed in face-to-face relation with the inner port 125 of the hopper 101, a
