置に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to an electrical stimulation device for carcasses of pigs, cows, sheep, etc., and in particular, it is installed between the anesthesia device and the evisceration work bay of the slaughter processing line. The present invention relates to an electrical stimulation device for a carcass.
「従来の要望点」
一般に豚、牛、羊など食肉用動物は、屠畜処理
ラシンに於いて最初に二酸化炭素のガス槽を有す
る麻酔装置で麻酔するか、なたは電撃法による電
気的シヨツクにより気絶させる。``Conventional requests'' In general, meat animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep are anesthetized in the slaughtering process using an anesthesia machine equipped with a carbon dioxide gas tank, or an electric shock using a machete method. Causes unconsciousness.
しかして、前記麻酔装置を利用すると、動物は
リラツクスした状態で麻酔にかかるので筋肉の硬
直や張りもなく、いわゆるダラリとした状態とな

を有する。特に枝肉については骨折や、スポツ
ト、フケ等の発生率が極めて少なく、長期保管も
できる、作業が安全であるなどの利点から、電撃
法に比べて今日ではヨーロツパを中心として広く
活用されている。 Therefore, when using the anesthesia device, the animal is anesthetized in a relaxed state, so there is no muscle stiffness or tension, and the animal is in a so-called sluggish state, which has the advantage of good exsanguination and little residual blood. Compared to the electric shock method, this method is now more widely used, especially in Europe, because of its advantages, such as extremely low incidence of fractures, spots, dandruff, etc. for carcasses, long-term storage, and safer work.
しかしながら、反面麻酔装置で屠畜すると、内
臓も枝肉も同様に筋肉の硬直や張りがなくなり、
「ダラリ」とした状態になつてしまうと言う欠点
があつた。 However, when slaughtered using an anesthesia machine, the muscles of both the internal organs and the carcass lose their stiffness and tension.
The drawback was that it could become sluggish.
ところが、日本に於ける内臓の一般の取引は、
歴史が始まつて以来撲殺あるいは電撃法などによ
る筋肉の硬直状態で行なわれている。 However, the general trade in internal organs in Japan is
Since the beginning of history, it has been carried out by bludgeoning or electric shock, with the muscles stiffened.
したがつて、このような内臓が硬直状態で取引

者は、硬直のない肝臓などの内臓を相当期間が経
過したものと勘違いする傾向があり、敬遠される
と言う具合である。特に肝臓等は刺身で食する場
合歯ざわりがないなどと言う欠点があつた。 Therefore, contrary to the business practice of trading such internal organs in a rigid state, if the non-rigid internal organs of animals that have been treated with anesthesia equipment are distributed, not only slaughterhouses but also yakiniku restaurants and retailers General consumers tend to misunderstand that internal organs such as the liver that are not stiff are those that have been used for a considerable period of time, and are therefore avoided. In particular, when eating sashimi such as liver, it had the disadvantage that it had no texture.
そこで、現在、上述した麻酔方法による利点を
生かしつつ、内臓に関しては日本の流通や一般の
需要者のニーズに適合する硬直状態の内臓を得る
装置が要望されている。 Therefore, there is currently a need for an apparatus for obtaining internal organs in a rigid state that meets the needs of Japanese distributors and general consumers while taking advantage of the advantages of the above-mentioned anesthesia method.

At the same time, it is possible to obtain a product in which the muscles of the internal organs are stiff, making it possible to adapt it to Japanese business practices and eating habits, and automatically attaching it to the transported carcass. The goal is to obtain an inexpensive carcass electrical stimulation device that can be energized.

This is a low-voltage pulse generator. This low-voltage pulse generator 10 uses commercial 100-200 volt alternating current as its power source, and its electrical circuit incorporates a pulse generator having a desired frequency. The electrical pulses preferably consist of square waves, but may be other waveforms such as triangular waves, sine waves or semi-rectified sine waves.

The state flows into the body of the carcass 5 and goes to the electrode plate 8, and the low voltage pulse generator 1
Return to 0. As shown in the figure, the electrode bodies 1 and 8 are connected to the low voltage pulse generator 10 in a direct current circuit configuration through electric wires 11 and 12, so that the electric pulses are transmitted to the low voltage pulse generator. Therefore, workers are not exposed to the risk of electric shock.
