Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to pepper miso, miso,
And koji-making equipment for aging raw materials used in the production of soy sauce and soy spirits such as soy sauce. In particular, washing equipment is installed inside and below the koji-making room to enable unattended cleaning, and to drop the grains during the koji production. Washing, air-conditioning, and entry / exit of solid cultivation equipment that can provide a uniform product by maintaining a constant temperature and humidity inside the koji-making room using an air conditioner It relates to a koji apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Koji making machines are used for ripening soy sauce and spirit ingredients, and are generally classified into two types: a Japanese type circular koji making apparatus and a Korean type square koji making apparatus. . When the raw materials are supplied, they are laid on a koji-making plate to a certain thickness, agitated while maintaining constant temperature and constant humidity, and the raw materials are aged. is there.

In general, an air conditioner is used to maintain a constant temperature and humidity at one end of a koji-making room. However, in order to control a large-sized koji-making room, the temperature and humidity must be maintained uniformly over the entire surface. Is difficult, and the raw material cannot be aged uniformly.

Further, in order to prevent falling of grains during the koji making, a koji making room and a cleaning device are provided below the koji making room to clean the inside thereof unattended, but the entire surface is uniformly cleaned. Did not. In addition to the fact that many places cannot be cleaned, there is also the drawback that foreign substances scatter during the cleaning due to the strong flow of water and contaminate the surrounding area.

[0005] Further, since air for maturation of the mold is supplied only on one side, the raw material on one side is aged, but on the other side, it is not matured, so that uniform supply of the raw material was not possible.

After kneading the raw materials, temperature sensors are inserted on both sides in order to detect the indoor temperature. In order to adjust the temperature, it was difficult to remove the temperature sensor during agitation and koji-making operations, so the agitator had to be operated without removing the temperature sensor.

[0007] Furthermore, the Japanese circular koji making apparatus is capable of providing uniform quality because the central part is well stirred when agitating, but is not sufficiently agitated away from the central part. could not. In addition, the space between the circular plate and the side surface is formed widely, and the raw material is dropped down through this space to lose a large amount of the raw material.

Also, since a lot of water is generated inside,
It took about 16 hours to adjust the water content to 10% or less, and furthermore, a dew condensation phenomenon occurred on the ceiling, which caused water drops to fall on the floor, so that a uniform product could not be provided.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of a conventional apparatus for washing, air-conditioning, and entering and exiting koji of a solid incubator.
During the koji-in, the raw material is easily put into the koji, so that the raw material spreads out to a uniform thickness, and after the koji-making, no dust is generated by the koji-making means and almost no residue is generated. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for washing, air-conditioning, and entering and exiting koji of a solid incubator adapted to perform koji.

[0010]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a temperature sensor of a temperature sensing device is protruded above a koji-making plate at the lower side to detect a temperature after a raw material is koji. And
The present invention provides an apparatus for washing, air-conditioning, and entering and exiting koji of a solid incubator which is automatically lowered from a koji-making plate at the time of koji and stirring.

Further, according to the present invention, in order to provide a uniform product over the entire surface by using the air conditioner, the koji-making room is maintained at a constant temperature and humidity by the air conditioner and is automatically controlled. The present invention provides an apparatus for washing, air-conditioning, and entering and exiting koji of a solid incubator.

In addition, it is possible to sufficiently clean all corners of the koji-making room using the washing device, and it is possible to easily control the water content inside by using the dew condensation preventing device, thereby preventing the dew condensation phenomenon occurring on the ceiling. .
