[0005]

However, in the drying device 60 of the conventional laver manufacturing machine 50, since one side of the drying chamber 57 is connected to the hot air generating mechanism 58, the hot air generating mechanism 58 is not used. The heated air generated by the mechanism 58 flows into the drying chamber 57 from one side of the drying chamber 57, and the temperature distribution inside the drying chamber 57 is not uniform in the left and right width directions, This resulted in uneven drying, resulting in a decrease in the quality of nori.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a transfer mechanism for transferring a cage between the front and rear ends of the drying chamber is provided inside the drying chamber, and at the rear end of the drying chamber. The hot air generating mechanism is disposed substantially perpendicular to the transfer direction of the transfer mechanism.

The temperature distribution at the rear end of the drying chamber can be made substantially uniform in the left-right width direction of the drying chamber, whereby uneven drying of the nori can be prevented, and Quality can be improved.

As described above, by arranging a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 at the rear end of the drying chamber 21 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24 and 25, the drying chamber 21 is provided. The temperature distribution at the rear end becomes substantially uniform in the left-right width direction of the drying chamber 21, thereby preventing uneven drying of the laver and improving the quality of the laver.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a transfer mechanism 22 as another embodiment. In this embodiment, the lower transfer chain is used.
25, 25 and the hot air generating mechanism 23 arranged at the rear end of the drying
The temperature of the rear end portion of 4,24 is set to be higher than the temperature of the other portions.

That is, a pair of left and right upper front sprockets 44 is disposed above the rear end of the processing apparatus machine frame 11 and a pair of left and right upper rear sprockets 45 are disposed above the rear end of the drying chamber 21. And the upper transfer chain 24, 24 is suspended between the sprockets 44, 44, 45, 45, while the processing unit
11 A pair of lower front end sprockets
And a pair of left and right lower rear end sprockets 47, 47 is provided in the lower half of the drying chamber 21.
The lower transfer chains 25,25 are suspended between 46,46,47,47.

The length of the lower transfer chains 25, 25 is made shorter than the length of the upper transfer chains 24, 24, and the upper transfer chains 24, 24 are provided at the rear end of the drying chamber 21. The lower transfer chain 25, 25 forms a portion that does not overlap.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the amount of heat generated by each of the six hot air generating mechanisms 23 disposed along the upper transfer chains 24, 24 is smaller than the amount of heat generated at the rear end of the drying chamber 21. The amount of heat generated by each of the two arranged hot air generating mechanisms 23 is increased so that the temperature of the rear end portion of the upper transfer chains 24, 24 is adjusted to the other portions (the upper transfer chains 24, 24). 24, the temperature at the front end part and the halfway part, and the lower transfer chain 25, 25).

Therefore, if the temperature distribution inside the drying chamber 21 is shown along the transfer chains 24 and 25, as shown in FIG. The rear side, and the entire forward side and the return side of the lower transfer chain 25 have substantially the same temperature T, and the forward side rear and the return side front of the upper transfer chain 24 are the same as described above. The temperature Th is higher than the temperature T.

On the other hand, the temperature distribution inside the conventional drying chamber 21 shown in FIG. 11 is, as shown in FIG.
The temperature T is substantially the same over the entire range of 24,25.

This is because the nori is finished and dried in the latter half (return side) of the lower transfer chain 25.
If the temperature of this part is set too high, the seaweed will crack or shrink, so the temperature of the second half of the lower transfer chain 25 is set to an appropriate temperature T, and the temperature of the other parts is adjusted accordingly. This is because the temperatures T are set to be substantially the same.

However, in the middle part of the upper transfer chain 24, since the seaweed still contains a sufficient amount of moisture, the temperature of the middle part of the upper transfer chain 24 is raised to a high temperature as in this embodiment. Even if set to Th, the seaweed does not crack or shrink.

Therefore, the drying time of the laver can be shortened, the production amount of the laver can be increased, and the length of the transfer path of the transfer chains 24 and 25 can be shortened. Can be achieved.

FIGS. 8 to 10 show a laver making machine 1 according to another embodiment.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-13663, a structure is configured to be able to simultaneously process two consecutive frames 6 in the front-rear direction.

The processing apparatus 2 has a pair of front and rear peeling mechanisms 10 and 10 disposed below the processing apparatus frame 11 and a transfer conveyor 35 of the unloading apparatus 20 respectively.

The drying device 3 has a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 disposed on the right side of the drying chamber 21 along the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24 and 25, and has a rear end of the drying chamber 21. Also, a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 are arranged along a direction substantially perpendicular to the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24 and 25 (the width direction of the drying chamber 21).

This also makes the temperature distribution at the rear end of the drying chamber 21 substantially uniform in the width direction of the drying chamber 21, thereby preventing uneven drying of the nori and improving the quality of the nori. Can be.

[0035]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

That is, in the present invention, since the hot air generating mechanism is disposed at the rear end of the drying chamber so as to be substantially perpendicular to the transfer direction of the transfer mechanism, the temperature distribution at the rear end of the drying chamber is reduced. It becomes substantially uniform in the left-right width direction, it is possible to prevent drying unevenness of the laver, and it is possible to improve the quality of the laver.
