  Each tooth 79a provided on the peripheral surface of the ratchet 79 has an orthogonal surface 79a1 in which the upstream surface in the direction C is substantially perpendicular to the direction C, and the downstream surface in the direction C faces the upstream side in the direction C. The slope 79a2 is inclined.

  The swing lever 48 swings twice when the eccentric cam 47 rotates once.

  The rotary shaft 74 and the rotary shaft 75 integrally support a sprocket 73 and a sprocket 81 that support the dryer transport chain 11, respectively.

  At each of the positions where the sprocket 73 and the sprocket 81 are disposed, the transport chain 1 and the transport chain 11 for the dryer are close to each other so that the laver can be exchanged.

  In the transmission mechanism 55 having such a configuration, when the eccentric cam 47 is rotationally driven by the prime mover 5 via the sprocket 21 and the swing lever 48 swings, the rod 62, the rod 66, and the rod 76 are substantially elongated in accordance with the swing.

  In this reciprocation, when the state shown in FIGS. 5 and 8 is changed to the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, that is, when the rod 66 and the rod 76 are displaced upward, the pawl portion 72 resists the biasing force of the spring. However, it rides on the slope 79a2 along the direction opposite to the direction C and gets over the tooth 79a. At this time, since the claw portion 72 moves smoothly on the peripheral surface of the ratchet 79, the ratchet 79 does not rotate.

  On the other hand, when the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 9 is changed to the state shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, that is, when the rod 66 and the rod 76 are displaced downward, the claw portion 72 engages with the right-angled surface 79a1 and 79a1 is pushed down along direction C. For this reason, the ratchet 79 rotates in the direction C.

  Therefore, when the eccentric cam 47 rotates once, the ratchet 79 rotates intermittently twice, and accordingly, the dryer transport chain 11 is also driven intermittently twice.

  Since the seaweed manufacturing apparatus 100 performs one cycle of operation when the prime mover 5 rotates the sprocket 21 twice, in one cycle, the dryer transport chain 11 is four times as in the case of the transport chain 1, It will be driven intermittently.

  In the process of the intermittent operation of the transport chain 1 and the dryer transport chain 11, the dehydrated laver rice cake is delivered from the transport chain 1 to the dryer transport chain 11 in the vicinity of the position where the sprocket 81 is disposed, and delivered. The nori seaweed that has entered the second manufacturing section 52 by the dryer transport chain 11 is received by the transport chain 1 from the dryer transport chain 11. Passed. This laver is transported toward the position where the sprocket 73 is disposed.

  Further, in the process of the intermittent operation, in the vicinity of the position where the sprocket 73 is disposed, the laver that has been transported by the transport chain 1 after passing through the second manufacturing section 52 is transferred from the transport chain 1 to the transport chain 11 for the dryer. The delivered laver rice cake enters the second manufacturing unit 52 again by the dryer transport chain 11, and the laver rice cake returned through the second production unit 52 is again conveyed to the dryer. Passed from the chain 11 to the transport chain 1. The laver is transported toward the preliminary peeling machine 30.

  The delivery operation of the laver rice cake between the transport chain 1 and the dryer transport chain 11 is performed by intermittent and alternating operation of the transport chain 1 and the dryer transport chain 11 as described later. It is what is said.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the second manufacturing unit 52 mainly includes a dryer 82 that dries the raw nori made from the nori seaweed. The dryer 82 dries the raw nori on the nori mash that has been delivered to the dryer transport chain 11 and transported by the dryer transport chain 11 at the position where the sprocket 81 is disposed and the position of the sprocket 73. .

  The dryer 82 occupies most of the laver production apparatus 100 in the longitudinal direction, and is disposed along the drying chamber 83 and the drying chamber 83 in which the dryer transport chain 11 conveys the laver carried on the laver in the interior. And a temperature raising means 84 for raising the temperature of the drying chamber 83. The drying chamber 83 has a rectangular dome shape.

  Although not shown, the dryer transport chain 11 is arranged in multiple upper and lower stages along the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 83 so as to reciprocate in the drying chamber 83 a plurality of times. The end position on the first manufacturing section 51 side in each round-trip path is the position where the sprocket 81 and the sprocket 73 are disposed. As the number of reciprocations of the dryer transport chain 11 in the drying chamber 83 is increased, the length of the drying chamber 83 in the longitudinal direction can be shortened and the installation area can be reduced.

  The temperature raising means 84 is provided on each side of the drying chamber 83 so as to occupy different positions in the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 83. Specifically, the temperature raising means 84 is disposed on the side opposite to the lower side in FIG. 2, which is the direction in which the laver is unloaded by the unloader 70 on the first manufacturing unit 51 side. On the side opposite to the manufacturing unit 51, the laver is unloaded by the unloader 70.

  The temperature raising means 84 is provided at each temperature rising furnace 85 positioned on each side of the drying chamber 83 and each end of the temperature raising furnace 85 in the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 83 to heat the air in the temperature raising furnace 85. And a burner 86 as a heating means.

  The temperature raising means 84 is also provided at a ceiling portion in the temperature raising furnace 85, and a fan 87 as a blowing means for sending the air in the temperature raising furnace 85 heated by the burner 86 into the drying chamber 83, It has an air passage 88 that communicates the inside and outside of the temperature raising furnace 85 at the installation position.

  A plurality of fans 87, specifically, 13 groups are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 83.

  An opening (not shown) is formed between the drying chamber 83 and the heating furnace 85.

  In the temperature raising means 84 having such a configuration, when the fan 87 is driven in a state where the burner 86 is operated, outside air is taken into the temperature raising furnace 85 from the ventilation path 88, and the taken outside air is heated by the burner 86. The air in the heating furnace 85 that has been heated is sent to the drying chamber 83 through the opening by the fan 87.

  Here, the arrangement | positioning aspect of the conventional temperature rising means is shown in FIG. Conventional temperature raising means has been arranged on one side of the drying chamber. Also in the conventional temperature raising means, a plurality of temperature raising furnaces are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber, and the burners are arranged at each end of the temperature raising furnace in the longitudinal direction. This takes into account the heating efficiency of the heating furnace by the burner.

  On the other hand, such a heating furnace has been arranged on one side of the drying chamber. Therefore, in order to ensure the arrangement position of the burner, the temperature raising furnace is arranged in a mode having a gap in the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber. For this reason, the temperature rising efficiency of the drying chamber decreases at the gap portion.

  On the other hand, the heating furnace 85 is disposed on each side of the drying chamber 83, so that the heating chamber 85 is disposed without any break in the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 83 while ensuring the position where the burner 86 is disposed. Yes. As a result, the temperature raising efficiency of the drying chamber 83 is made uniform and secured over the entire region in the longitudinal direction, and the temperature raising efficiency of the drying chamber 83 is also secured over the entire region in the laver transport direction by the unloader 70. As a result, the drying efficiency of nori is improved.

  FIG. 10 is an operation timing chart of the laver production apparatus 100.

  In the figure, the horizontal axis indicates the rotation angle of the sprocket 21 that is rotationally driven by the prime mover 5 shown in FIG.

  In the drawing, (a) shows the operation timing of the transport chain 1, (b) shows the operation timing of the transport chain 11 for the dryer, and (c) shows the operation timing of the preliminary peeling machine 30 on the second manufacturing section 52 side. (D) is the operation timing of the other preliminary peeling machine 30, (e) is the seaweed presser and copper roller operation timing of the peeling machine 20, and (f) is the operation of the peeling machine 20 peeling motor. (G) is the operation timing of the unloader 70, (h) the operation timing of the papermaking machine 2, (i) is the operation timing of the ski-valve motor of the papermaking machine 2, and (j) is the suction dehydration. (K) has shown the operation timing of the press dehydrator 4, respectively.

  As shown in the figure, the sprocket 21 rotates twice in T seconds, whereby one cycle of the operation of the laver production apparatus 100 is executed. In this one cycle, the transport chain 1, the dryer transport chain 11, the preliminary peeling machine 30, the main peeling machine 20, the papermaking machine 2, the suction dehydrator 3, and the press dehydrator 4 execute the operation of one cycle. It has become.

  Since one cycle is performed in T seconds, 3600 seconds / T second cycle is performed per hour, and 40 (10 reams × 4 rows) laver is produced in one cycle. The production of seaweed per hour is 144000 / T.

  The sprocket 21 rotates once in T1 seconds for the first rotation. This rotational speed is referred to as a first speed.

  Further, the sprocket 21 shifts in the middle of the second rotation and makes one rotation in T2 seconds.

  That is, in the second rotation, the sprocket 21 rotates at the first speed for the first 3/4 rotation, and the speed is decreased for the remaining 1/4 rotation, and rotates at about 3.3 rpm for T3 seconds. The rotation speed slower than the first speed is referred to as the second speed.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the transport chain 1 repeats operation and stop at intervals of 90 ° from the initial 0 ° to 270 ° of the second rotation. Each time interval at this time is equal to t seconds. Further, the transport chain 1 is stopped for T3 seconds from 270 ° at the second rotation to 360 ° at the end of the second rotation. That is, it stops for a relatively long time from 270 ° in the second rotation to 360 ° at the end. Thus, the operation timing of the transport chain 1 is intermittent.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the dryer transport chain 11 is driven while the transport chain 1 is stopped, and its operation timing is intermittent. It is driven for a relatively long time from 270 ° in the second rotation to 360 ° at the end.

  In this manner, the transport chain 1 and the dryer transport chain 11 are alternately and intermittently operated, so that the laver is transferred from the transport chain 1 to the dryer transport chain 11 one row at a time. It is designed to be transported inside.

  The operation in which the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time and the operation in which the dryer transport chain 11 is driven at a relatively low speed for a long time each time the output of the prime mover 5 is intermittently operated. This is done by reducing control.

  As shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the preliminary peeling machines 30 are alternately operated when the conveyance chain 1 is stopped, so that the preliminary peeling machines 30 are operated in order. .

  In the preliminary peeling machine 30, first, the preliminary peeling machine 30 on the second manufacturing unit 52 side operates when the conveyance chain 1 is stopped for the first time and the third time, and the other preliminary peeling machine 30 is the second of the conveyance chain 1. Operates during the 4th and 4th stops. The operation of the preliminary stripper 30 when the transport chain 1 is stopped for the fourth time is performed for a relatively long time.

  Thus, the preliminary peeling machines 30 are operated in order, whereby each preliminary peeling machine 30 is operated twice in one cycle.

  As shown in FIG. 4E, in the peeling machine 20, the pressing operation of the laver rice cake by the first copper roller is intermittently performed while the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time. . Specifically, it moves forward from 270 ° to 290 ° to perform the pressing operation of the laver, and moves backward from 330 ° to 350 ° to release the pressing operation of the laver.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (f), in the peeling machine 20, the operation of the hail motor is while the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time, and the first copper roller removes the laver. While pressing, the second copper roller is reciprocated once from 300 ° to 330 °.

  In this way, the operation of the peeling machine 20 is performed when the conveying chain 1 is stopped for a long time with the output of the prime mover 5 reduced, so that the operation time is ensured and the laver is peeled off from the laver cocoon with good and certainty. The operation for performing the operation is surely performed.

  As shown in FIG. 5G, the operation of the unloader 70 is continuously performed continuously. This operation is performed by an independent motor (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 5H, the papermaking machine 2 is driven to make paper while the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time.

  As shown in FIG. 5I, in the papermaking machine 2, the operation of the skiving valve motor is started after a lapse of a certain time from the start of the papermaking operation, and is stopped when the papermaking operation is stopped.

  Thus, since the operation of the papermaking machine 2 is performed while the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time with the output of the prime mover 5 being reduced, sufficient papermaking time is obtained, A sufficient time for the raw nori in the mixture of nori and water to be deposited on the nori cocoon is secured, and a high quality nori can be produced. In addition, the number of laver produced per unit time is large because the laver can be made at once in four rows of laver ridges.

  As shown in FIGS. (J) and (k), the suction dehydrator 3 and the press dehydrator 4 are similar to the paper making machine 2 while the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time. , Suction dehydration and press dehydration are performed. Suction dehydration and press dehydration are performed in two cycles each.

  As described above, the operations of the suction dehydrator 3 and the press dehydrator 4 are performed while the output of the prime mover 5 is reduced and the transport chain 1 is stopped for a relatively long time, so that a sufficient dehydration time is obtained. It can be obtained, can be sufficiently dehydrated, and can produce high quality nori. Moreover, since four rows of nori mashes can be dehydrated at once, the number of laver produced per unit time is large.

  As can be understood from the description of FIG. 10, in the laver production apparatus 100, after the operation of pausing the transport chain 1 for a predetermined distance according to the size of the laver cocoon is repeated, the laver is paused longer. A so-called quadruple-like operation is defined as one cycle, and this cycle is repeated to continuously produce laver.

  The stop time of the conveying chain 1 when the papermaking machine 2, the suction dehydrator 3 and the press dehydrator 4 are operated is the conveying chain when the papermaking machine 2, the suction dehydrator 3 and the press dehydrator 4 are not operated, that is, when stopped. It is relatively longer than 1 stop time. This is done by driving the transport chain 1 so that the second speed is smaller than the first speed.

  During this relatively long stop period, the papermaking machine 2 performs papermaking, the suction dehydrator 3 performs the suction dewatering operation, and the press dehydrator 4 performs the press dewatering operation. Therefore, since sufficient paper making and dehydration time are secured, high quality laver can be obtained, while paper making is performed on 4 rows of laver persimmon at one time, and when it is stopped other than such a long stop period, Since the time interval is short, the number of laver produced per unit time is large.

  Further, during the relatively long stoppage period, not only papermaking and dehydration, but also preliminary peeling at an appropriate timing by the four preliminary peeling machines 30, preliminarily important for peeling glue from the seaweed rice cake. Is done reliably and reliably, and high quality laver is produced.

  In this way, by increasing the number of papermaking machines 2 and optimizing the timing of papermaking, dewatering and preliminary peeling, the productivity is improved and the quality of the laver produced is also improved. .

  Furthermore, in order to operate this peeling machine 20 during such a relatively long stop period, not only paper making, dehydration, and preliminary peeling, but also this peeling is performed at an appropriate timing. This extremely important exfoliation is performed well and reliably, and high quality laver is produced.

  In addition, since the operations from FIGS. 10A to 10E are performed by the common prime mover 5, the laver production apparatus 100 is reduced in size, weight, and cost, and the common prime mover 5 Thus, since the transport chain 1 and the transport chain 11 for the dryer are driven, the seaweed rice cake can be exchanged satisfactorily and reliably.

  10 (h), (j), and (k) are executed by the common drive motor 50, the laver production apparatus 100 is reduced in size, weight, and cost.

  Thus, by using the prime mover 5 and the drive motor 50 to execute various operations, the entire laver production apparatus 100 is highly reduced in size, weight, and cost. This also has an advantage in terms of reducing labor required for transporting and installing the laver production apparatus 100.

  In addition, the operation timings of the prime mover 5 and the drive motor 50 are different as described above, and the drive motor 50 is operated every time the intermittent motion of the transport chain 1 is performed four times by the prime mover 5, so that the four rows of laver are simultaneously extracted. In the laver production apparatus 100 to be manufactured, the operation timing is optimized to improve the productivity of laver. Such operation timing is controlled by the control means.

  The washing machine is adapted to wash the laver while the transport chain 1 is stopped, but since it has such a relatively long stop period, it is particularly well cleaned during this period. Since the laver is washed well, the laver is produced well in the laver production process such as papermaking.

  All such operations are controlled by a control signal from the CPU. For example, the prime mover 5 and the drive motor 50 are operated, stopped, and shifted by a control signal from the CPU. When the prime mover 5 outputs an operation signal, a stop signal for the drive motor 50 is output, and a stop signal for the prime mover 5 is output. At the time of output, a drive signal of the drive motor 50 is output.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Deformation / change is possible.

  If the temperature raising furnaces are arranged on the side of the drying chamber so as to be staggered, three or more temperature raising furnaces may be arranged instead of two. In addition, if possible, the operation of the drive motor 50 may be started during the operation of the prime mover 5.
