DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DEBONING BONE-IN LEG

摘要

In a deboning process, a knee joint length is measured in a work loading section of a first process station, and incision making of a thigh meat portion is performed in a second process station based on the measured knee joint length. At the same time, the entire length of a work is measured, and the knee joint length is calculated from previously collected data based on the measured entire length of the work. Positioning of a cutting blade and a meat separator is performed based on these values in subsequent process stations, and cutting of a tendon adhering to a knee joint and tearing of thigh meat are performed. A thigh bone is separated from a lower thigh in a further process station.

主权项

1. A device for deboning a bone-in leg comprising:
a clamping device which suspends a bone-in leg formed by a lower thigh and a thigh via an ankle; a conveying device which sequentially conveys the clamping device to a plurality of process sections; a knee joint length measurement section which measures a knee joint length of the bone-in leg from a clamping position of the clamping device to a knee joint; a thigh incision making section which determines an incision making start point based on the knee joint length measured in the knee joint length measurement section and makes an incision in the thigh from the knee joint to a head of a thigh bone in a longitudinal direction; a meat portion cut section which determines a cut position based on the knee joint length measured in the knee joint length measurement section and separates lower thigh meat and thigh meat from each other by cutting at a part of the knee joint; a thigh meat separation section which determines a position of a meat separator based on the knee joint length measured in the knee joint length measurement section and separates the thigh meat from the thigh bone; and a thigh bone separation section which cuts the thigh bone from the lower thigh.
