DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reversing basket processing apparatus for boiling, washing, and cooling foods and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG.
And FIG. This apparatus comprises a treatment tank 1, a reversing basket 2, and a reversing device 3 for the basket.

The inverted basket 2 has a horizontal support shaft 4 protruding from both sides of the upper edge. The horizontal support shaft 4 is supported by a bearing 5 mounted on the processing tank 1 and is fixed in the processing tank 1. Hanging rotatably. Further, in order to increase the processing capacity, a plurality of inverted baskets 2 are arranged in a column in the same processing tank.

The reversing device 3 comprises a cam 6 attached to one end of the horizontal support shaft 4, an engaging member 7 for pushing the cam, and a driving means 8 for moving the engaging member 7 to periodically engage the cam 6. Consisting of The drive means 8 shown in the figure reduces the rotation of the motor 8a by the speed reducer 8b, rotates the drive wheel 8c, and causes the two endless chains 8e running between the drive wheel 8c and the driven wheel 8d to travel. These two chains 8e
An engaging element 7 is mounted between the engaging elements, and the engaging element contacts the first cam surface 6 a of the cam 6 to push the cam 6. As a result, the horizontal support shaft 4 rotates by a fixed angle and the inverted cage 2 supported by the support shaft.
Is reversed, and the object to be processed in the basket is taken out. Thereafter, when the engaging element 7 comes off the first cam surface 6a, the reversing basket 2 rotates in the reverse direction and returns to the original position. The return is gradually performed in a state where the second cam surface 6b of the cam 6 is engaged with the moving engagement element 7, and therefore, the reversing basket 2 does not return suddenly.

As shown in FIG. 9, the inverted basket 2 has a horizontal support shaft 4 integrated therewith, and as shown in FIG. There is a type in which a right angle (shaft) 10 is inserted into the socket 9 and fixed with bolts 11.

[0007] The apparatus shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is a noodle-boiler for boiling noodles in hot water in a tank with the treatment tank 1 as a boiler, a washing machine for washing the noodles boiled in the tank 1, and food after boiling. It is often used as a cooling processor for cooling in a processing tank, but it can also be used for batch cleaning or cooling of small articles other than food.

[0007]

In the apparatus using the inverted basket 2 shown in FIG. 9, since the inverted basket 2 and the horizontal support shaft 4 with a cam are integrated, the inverted basket 2 is used for cleaning and replacement. In the case of attachment and detachment, it is necessary to remove the bearing 5 to which the support shaft 4 is fitted from the treatment tank 1 each time, and the workability is not excellent. Some of these types of processing apparatuses use a push-pull means such as a cylinder to perform reversal of a reversing basket and return after reversing, and a cam (which has a different shape from those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8). Since the output rods of the push-pull means are directly connected to each other, it is necessary to release the connection, and workability is particularly poor.

Further, since the relatively heavy cam 6 which also serves as a balance weight is integrated, the reversing basket 2 is heavy, and there is a problem that the attachment / detachment is a heavy work and the work is dangerous.

An apparatus using the inverted basket 2 shown in FIG.
Only the inverted basket can be removed from the socket 9, but the corner 10 cannot be removed from the socket 9 because the corner 10 is broken from the base and the inverted basket 2 is detached from the support shaft 4 or the fixing bolt 11 is fixed. And the reliability was not sufficient.

[0010] In addition, this type of device of the related art is inevitably turned over even if it is not necessary to turn over an empty reversing basket, which is not desirable in terms of running cost and durability.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.

[0012]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, in a processing apparatus with an inverted basket as described in FIGS. 7 and 8, one horizontal support shaft of the inverted basket is replaced with an inverted basket. And a second shaft supported by a bearing on the processing tank, and the cam is fixed to the second shaft,
Further, a metal joint is provided between the first and second shaft bodies, the joint for detachably connecting the two shafts, the clutch for intermittently transmitting torque between the two shafts, and the other horizontal support shaft being dropped. It was supported by.

The above joint and clutch are
What is described in the section of the embodiment is preferable because it is simple and easy to operate.

[0014]

According to the device of the present invention, the first shaft integrated with the inverted cage can be separated from the second shaft by operating the joint. Since the horizontal support shaft on the other side is supported by a drop-down type metal bearing, if the first shaft body is separated from the second shaft body, the second shaft body with a heavy cam is left attached to the processing tank and the inverted basket is kept. Can be removed from the processing tank, facilitating desorption and improving work safety.

When the clutch between the first and second shaft members is disengaged, only the second shaft member with the cam is idled when passing through the engaging member or when pushing and pulling by the pushing and pulling means, whereby an unnecessary reversing basket is provided. Can be eliminated.

[0016]

1 to 6 show a main part of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes the above-mentioned processing tank, 2 denotes a reversing basket, and 8e denotes a chain of a reversing device. Although a reversing device is not shown, a device similar to that described with reference to FIGS.

The processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 differs from the conventional apparatus in the following parts. That is, the horizontal support shaft on one side of the inverted basket 2 is formed by the first shaft body 12 and the second shaft body 13, and the second shaft body 1
3 is supported by bearings 5 on the processing tank 1 and the second shaft 1
A cam 6 is attached to 3.

A joint 14 and a clutch 15, which are shown in detail in FIG. 2, are provided between the first shaft 12 and the second shaft 13.
Further, the horizontal shaft 4 on the other side of the inverted cage 2 is supported by a metal bearing 16. As shown in FIG. 3, the metal bearing 16 supports the support shaft 4 by dropping it into the U-shaped groove 16a of the upper opening. The support shaft 4 can be lifted up and removed freely.

The joint 14 includes square shaft portions 12a, 13a provided on the first shaft member 12 and the second shaft member 13, respectively, and the square sleeve 1 fitted on the square shaft portions so as to be slidable in the axial direction.
7 and a set screw (clamp) 18 screwed into the square sleeve.
3a, and the square sleeve 17 is fixed to each point of the slide. When the square sleeve 17 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 4, the first and second shaft bodies 12, 13 are separated, and the inverted cage 2 can be removed. Here, as a preferable structure, a part of each sleeve 17 is constituted by a slide plate 17a having a long hole. When this slide plate 17a is provided, the plate can be moved to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.
It is easy to detach. The fixing of the slide plate 17a is performed by tightening the set screw 18 passed through the elongated hole, but the method is not limited to this method.

The clutch 15 is provided on the square shaft 1 of the first shaft 12.
2a, a round shaft portion 12b provided on the connection end side of the first shaft body, and the above-described square sleeve 17. This clutch 15
Is a position where the square sleeve 17 is engaged with the square shaft portion 12a (FIG. 1).
), Torque is transmitted between the first and second shaft bodies 12 and 13. When the square sleeve 17 is moved to the position shown in FIG. 6, the clutch is disengaged, the relative rotation of the round shaft portion 12b and the square sleeve 17 stops the transmission of torque between the shaft bodies 12, 13. Therefore, for a turning basket which is not necessary, the turning of the turning basket can be stopped by rotating only the second shaft body 13 with the cam 6. Stopping the unnecessary reversing of the reversing basket in this way eliminates the power loss and reduces the wear of the rotary sliding portion due to useless movement.

The joints and clutches provided between the first and second shafts are not limited to the illustrated ones.

Although the illustrated apparatus is an apparatus for reversing the reversing basket by the reversing apparatus shown in FIG. 8, the present invention is directed to a type of processing for reversing and reversing the basket by pushing and pulling the cam by pushing and pulling means. Even if it is used for an apparatus, the effect is exhibited.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the horizontal support shaft on one side of the inverted basket is formed of two shafts so that it can be separated, and the shaft with a heavy cam is left on the processing tank side. Since the inverted basket can be removed as it is, it can be quickly and safely attached and detached faster than before, especially when used for processing equipment that requires frequent removal and cleaning of the inverted basket for sanitary reasons. A great effect can be expected.

In addition, since the reversing operation can be stopped for unnecessary reversing baskets, the power is not wasted, and the like.
This is also advantageous in terms of the running cost and durability of the device.

In addition, since the corners shown in FIG. 10 having problems such as strength are not used, the reliability is not impaired.
