A heat insulating wall 4 has an outer box, an inner box, and both It is made of a heat insulating material such as urethane foam filled between the boxes. A plurality of, in this embodiment, four, open-topped containers 5 are arranged at intervals in the bran-pickled manufacturing apparatus main body 1, and in each container 5, bran salt is added and mixed. In addition, there is a bran floor with pepper and other ingredients.
[0012]
Hereinafter, each container 5 will be described in detail. Each container 5 has, for example, a cylindrical shape with a bottom and an open top surface made of stainless steel, and includes a side wall 5A and a bottom wall 5B. Reference numeral 6 denotes a heater provided around the side wall 5A of the container 5, and reference numeral 7 denotes a cooler provided around the side wall 5A similarly to the heater 6, and the cooler 7 is divided into upper and lower portions of the heater 6. The heater 6 and the cooler 7 constitute a constant temperature means.
[0013]
Reference numeral 8 denotes a screw provided in the center of the container 5 and made of, for example, stainless steel. The screw 8 protrudes substantially vertically from the bottom wall 5B and the upper end reaches the upper part of the container 5. The screw 8 includes a cylindrical rotating shaft 10 and blades 11 spirally provided from the upper end to the lower end of the rotating shaft 10. A space 20 is provided between the blade 11 and the side wall 5A for making vegetables soaked or pickled. Also, a plurality of air intakes 10A are formed in the rotary shaft 10 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. Each air intake 10A is provided to prevent a bran floor from entering the rotary shaft 10. A net (not shown) is provided. Further, the periphery of the blade 11 is formed into a smooth curved surface. Under the bottom wall 5B, there is provided a drive motor 12 which is connected to the rotation shaft 10 and drives the screw 8 to rotate.
[0014]
Reference numeral 13 denotes a compressor provided in a unit room 15 partitioned by a partition wall 14. The compressor 13, a condenser and a decompression device (not shown), the cooling device 7 as an evaporator, and the like constitute a cooling cycle. I have.
[0015]
Reference numeral 16 denotes a temperature sensor attached to the side wall 5A of the container 5, and the temperature sensor 16 detects the temperature of the bran floor in the container 5 via the side wall 5A.
[0016]
Reference numeral 17 denotes a control device for controlling the bran pickling manufacturing apparatus. For example, the control device 17 controls the energization of the drive motor 12, the energization of the heater 6, and the operation of the compressor 13 based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 16. I do.
[0017]
Hereinafter, the operation at the time of operation of the bran pickled manufacturing apparatus will be described.
The user pivots the upper door 2 or 3 upward, puts vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants or carrots on the bran floor in the container 5, and puts the vegetables that have been on the bran floor at the time of eating. Remove the bran from the floor for a minute. Further, the control device 17 operates to output an operation signal of the drive motor 12 every predetermined time, for example, once every 24 hours from the operation of a timer (not shown). In response to this operation signal, the drive motor 12 is energized and operates for a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes. As described above, the drive motor 12 is energized for a predetermined time every predetermined time, but the interval, frequency, energization time, and the like can be arbitrarily set.
[0018]
When the drive motor 12 operates, the screw 8 rotates, and the blade 11 rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow in FIG. For this reason, the bran floor around the blade 11 is sent upward, the bran floor at the lowermost part of the container 5 is sequentially sent upward, and the bran floor near the peripheral edge in the container 5 is drawn downward, so that the bran floor is almost completely removed. The whole is mixed and the bran bed is agitated and the air reliably enters the bran bed. At the time of stirring, air is also supplied to the bran floor from each air inlet 10A.
[0019]
Thereafter, the control device 17 operates every predetermined time (24 hours), the screw 8 rotates, and the bran floor is automatically agitated in the same manner as described above without any trouble of human hands. Outside air can enter the bran floor, simplifying the care of the bran floor, and keeping the bran floor in good condition even when forgetting to stir the bran floor or going on a trip. .
[0020]
Further, for example, when the temperature of the bran floor rises in summer and the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined first upper limit temperature, the controller 17 operates to output an operation signal of the compressor 13.
Therefore, the compressor 13 starts operating, the refrigerant circulates through the cooling cycle, and the bran floor is cooled by the cooler 7 via the container 5. At this time, it is preferable to simultaneously drive the drive motor 12 to stir the bran bed. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined first lower limit temperature by the cooling of the bran floor, the control device 17 stops the operation signal output of the compressor 13 and stops the compressor 13 to stop the operation. The floor cooling operation stops. At this time, when the drive motor 12 is operating, the operation of the drive motor 12 is also stopped in the same manner as the stop of the compressor 13.
[0021]
Further, for example, when the temperature of the bran floor decreases in winter and the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined second lower limit temperature (set lower than the first lower limit temperature), the control device 17 operates to output an energization signal to the heater 6.
For this reason, the heater 6 is energized to start heating, and the bran floor is heated by the heater 6 via the container 5. At this time, it is preferable to operate the motor 12 and agitate the bran bed in the same manner as when cooling the bran bed. A predetermined second upper limit temperature (for example, lower than the first upper limit temperature and higher than the first lower limit temperature) is detected by the temperature of the temperature sensor 16 detected by the heating of the bran floor. In some cases, the control device 17 stops the energization signal output of the heater 6 and stops the heating by the heater 6. At this time, when the drive motor 12 is operating, the operation of the drive motor 12 is also stopped in the same manner as the power supply to the heater 6 is stopped.
[0022]
As described above, since the temperature of the bran floor is kept substantially constant by cooling the bran floor by the cooler 7 and heating the bran floor by the heater 6, the management of the bran floor can be simplified and the bran floor can be further improved. It is possible to keep it in a state.
[0023]

It is made of a heat insulating material such as urethane foam. A container 25 is disposed inside the main body 21 of the bran pickle production apparatus. In the container 25, a bran floor to which bran is added with salt and to which pepper is added is placed. A packing 22A is attached to the inner wall of the door 22 so as to correspond to an opening edge of a container 25 described later.
[0025]
Hereinafter, the container 25 will be described in detail. The container 25 is made of, for example, stainless steel and has a cylindrical shape with a bottom. The container 25 is composed of a cylindrical side wall 25A and a rear wall 25B. It is located rotatably. In addition, a plurality of ridges 26 are formed on the side wall 25A to promote agitation of the bran floor. Further, the heater 6 is provided around the side wall 25A with a very small gap from the side wall 25A, and the cooler 7 is provided around the side wall 5A with a very small gap like the heater 6 like the heater 6.

The first and second pulleys 28 and 32 are connected by a belt 33.
[0027]
An air intake 34 is formed in the side wall 25A of the container 25 at a position near the rear wall 25B for forcibly injecting air, and air is supplied from a duct 35 provided with an air cleaning filter 36 in the middle thereof. The container 25 can be supplied through the air inlet 34. At the time of non-stirring, the stop position of the container 25 is determined so that the air inlet 34 is located above the container 25 (so that the state shown in FIG. 4 can be obtained).
As in the first embodiment, the compressor 13 is provided in the unit chamber 15 partitioned by the partition 14, and the temperature sensor 16 is provided in the side wall 25A of the container 25 with a very small gap. The temperature sensor 16 detects the temperature of the bran floor in the container 5 via the side wall 5A. The temperature sensor 16 may be provided inside the back surface of the door 22 or the like.
[0028]
Reference numeral 17 denotes a control device for controlling the bran pickling production apparatus. For example, the control device 17 controls the energization of the drive motor 30, the energization of the heater 6 based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 16, and the operation of the compressor 13. I do.
[0029]
The operation during the operation of the bran pickled manufacturing apparatus will be described.
The user turns the door 22 to the side, puts the vegetables on the bran floor in the container 22, and takes out the vegetables that have been put on the bran floor from the bran floor at the time of eating. Further, the control device 17 operates to output an operation signal of the drive motor 30 every predetermined time, for example, once every 24 hours from the operation of a timer (not shown). In response to the operation signal, the drive motor 30 is energized and operates for a preset time (for example, 5 minutes). After the elapse of the time, the control device 17 operates and the rotation of the motor 30 stops.
[0030]
When the driving motor 30 is rotating, the rotation is transmitted to the rotating shaft 27 via the rotating shaft 31, the second pulley 32, the belt 33, and the first pulley 28, and the container 25 rotates around the horizontal axis. I do. Therefore, the bran bed in the container 25 is agitated, and the agitation is further promoted by the ridges 26, so that air enters the bran bed. At the time of stirring, air outside the apparatus is also supplied to the bran floor from the air inlet 34.
[0031]
Thereafter, the control device 17 operates at predetermined time intervals to automatically agitate the bran bed in the same manner as described above, so that air can enter the bran floor, simplifying care of the bran floor, and improving the bran floor. It is possible to keep it in a state.
[0032]
Further, for example, when the temperature of the bran floor rises in summer and the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined first upper limit temperature, the controller 17 operates to output an operation signal of the compressor 13. Therefore, the compressor 13 starts operating, the refrigerant circulates through the cooling cycle, and the bran floor is cooled by the cooler 7 via the container 25. At this time, it is preferable to simultaneously drive the drive motor 30 to stir the bran bed. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined first lower limit temperature by the cooling of the bran floor, the control device 17 stops the operation signal output of the compressor 13 and stops the compressor 13 to stop the operation. The floor cooling operation stops.
[0033]
Further, for example, when the temperature of the bran floor decreases in winter and the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined second lower limit temperature, the control device 17 operates to output an energization signal to the heater 6. . For this reason, the heater 6 is energized to start heating, and the bran floor is heated by the heater 6 via the container 25. In this case, it is preferable that the drive motor 30 is operated to stir the bran bed in the same manner as in the cooling of the bran bed. When the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 16 detects a predetermined second upper limit temperature due to the heating of the bran floor, the control device 17 stops outputting the energization signal of the heater 6 and stops the heating by the heater 6. .
[0034]
As described above, since the temperature of the bran floor is kept substantially constant by cooling the bran floor by the cooler 7 and heating the bran floor by the heater 6, the management of the bran floor can be simplified and the bran floor can be further improved. It is possible to keep it in a state.
[0035]
Further, unlike the container 5, the brass floor stirring screw 8 is not provided in the container 25, so that the inside of the container can be effectively used for bran pickling, and the bran pickling manufacturing apparatus can be made compact. It becomes possible.
[0036]
When the container 25 is rotated by the rotation of the drive motor 30, the container 25 is not rotated only in one direction, but the rotation angle of the container 25 is limited, and the container 25 is rotated in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. It may be rotated alternately every time.
[0037]
In each of the above embodiments, an air supply device such as an air pump is built in the rotating shaft 10 or the duct 35, and when the container 5 or the container 25 rotates, fresh air is forcibly supplied from the air supply device to the bran floor. The bran floor can be maintained in quality.
[0038]
