  With this mechanism, it is possible to remove the exclusion from the object to be processed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention stores a treatment basket 12 having an open upper surface in a water tank 13 having an open upper surface, and places the treatment basket 12 in the water tank 13. A driving device 14 is provided that supports and lifts the outside of the water tank 13 so that the open surface of the treatment basket 12 is inclined in one direction, that is, tilted and rotated.

  The treatment tub 12 is a ridge that is subjected to washing or heating treatment with a processing object 16 (see FIG. 4 (b)) made of various foods or processed foods, and has a mesh or a number of holes. The water in and out of the water tank 13 is freely accessible.

  The treatment rod 12 is provided with a chute 21 on a side edge that is low when the processing rod 12 is inclined. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tip of the chute 21 is narrowed, and the processing object 16 in the processing basket 12 is transferred to the next process of the next adjacent food processing apparatus 11 or the like. It becomes easy. The width of the chute 21 on the side of the processing rod 12 only needs to be such that the processing object 16 does not spill outside when the processing rod 12 is tilted and the processing object 16 in the processing rod 12 is moved. And as shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable to make the length of a side edge into the width | variety of the chute | shoot 21. As shown in FIG. Further, the length from the root portion (side edge on the side of the treatment basket 12) to the tip of the chute 21 with the treatment basket 12 has a length that can be sent to the next process of the adjacent food processing apparatus 11 or the like. That's fine.

  A side edge opening 22 is provided at the side edge that is higher when the treatment basket is inclined. As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the side edge opening portion 22 is a water tank to be described later for garbage or food waste (hereinafter referred to as "exclusion") 17 separated from the processing object 16. 13 is an opening for feeding to the 13 collars 32.

  Further, a blind portion 23 is provided inside the treatment basket 12 and in the vicinity of the side edge opening 22. The blind portion 23 includes a blind support portion 23a that is rotatably attached to the treatment basket 12, and a large number of comb portions 23b that are attached to the blind support portion 23a at regular intervals. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the blind portion 23 is provided to prevent the processing object 16 from coming out from the side edge opening 22 to the flange 32 of the water tank 13, and the comb portion 23b is provided so as to cover the side edge opening 22 with a predetermined interval when viewed at a position where the side edge opening 22 is farther from the blind part 23. Further, the distance between the comb portions 23b may be set in accordance with the size of the excluded object 17.

  The processing rod 12 is provided with a fulcrum pin 24 serving as a rotation center at the time of tilt rotation at a position where the weight balance can be achieved on both end surfaces of the processing rod 12. Therefore, by supporting the two fulcrum pins 24, the treatment rod 12 can maintain a state in which the open surface is directed upward. In addition, support plates 25 are protruded at positions higher than the fulcrum pins 24 on both end surfaces of the treatment rod 12. The support plate 25 is used to incline the treatment basket 12 as will be described later. Although it is sufficient that the support plate 25 is provided only in the vicinity of the fulcrum pins 24 on both end faces of the treatment rod 12, the support plate 25 may be provided in a bowl shape on the side edge or side edge of the treatment rod 12.

  By the way, as for the said processing rod 12, the bottom wall of the orthogonal | vertical direction forms circular arc shape with respect to the support axis line which connected said two fulcrum pins. Moreover, as will be described later, the water tank 13 has a similar shape. Thereby, as will be described later, it is possible to easily cause a water flow in the water tank 13.

  The water tank 13 can store water and is attached to the gantry 35. Moreover, this water tank 13 forms the circular arc shape of the orthogonal | vertical direction with respect to the support axis line which connected the two fulcrum pins 24 of the said processing rod 12. As shown in FIG.

  On the side wall or bottom wall of the water tank 13 on the side where the side edge opening 22 of the treatment tank 12 is provided, a water delivery device 31 that generates a water flow toward the bottom wall or the opposite side wall of the water tank 13 is provided. The water delivery device 31 has a stirring blade 36 and is a device that rotates the stirring blade 36 to feed water supplied to the water delivery device 31 into the water tank 13. Examples of the water delivery device 31 include a screw device and a pump.

  Therefore, when the water delivery device 31 is driven, from the water delivery device 31, the bottom wall of the water tank 13 or the side wall facing the water delivery device 31, the vicinity of the water surface of the water tank 13, and the blind portion 23. The water flow toward And, via the blind portion 23, toward the side edge opening 22 of the treatment basket 12, the water flow flowing from the side edge opening 22 to the flange portion 32 of the water tank 13, and via the blind portion 23, The water flow is divided into the water flow directed from the end wall of the blind portion 23 and the water tank 13 toward the bottom of the water tank 13, but the latter water flow is combined with the water flow sent out by the water delivery device 31. By 31, the water flow which circulates in one direction will be produced.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the flange 32 is provided on the side edge of the water tank 13 on the end side where the side edge opening 22 of the treatment tank 12 is provided. The flange 32 can collect the overflowed water when the water overflows from the water tank 13. In addition, when the treatment tank 12 is stored in the water tank 13, it is preferable that the lower edge of the side edge opening 22 of the treatment tank 12 is located near the position of the side edge of the water tank. Thereby, the exclusion 17 discharged | emitted from the side edge opening part 22 can be sent to the collar part 32 as it is.

  A drainage collecting part 33 is provided at one end of the collar part 32 and is collected here. The drainage collection unit 33 is provided with a separation plate 33a having a fine hole, and the exclusion 17 is removed, and only water is collected. The collected water is sent to the water delivery device 31 and returned to the water tank 13 by being used as a part (or all) of the water delivered from the water delivery device 31.

  The size of the fine hole provided in the separation plate 33a is appropriately selected according to the size of the removal object 17 to be removed. Examples of the separation plate 33a include a punched plate such as a metal plate and a large number of holes, and a woven or non-woven fabric having a predetermined mesh or mesh size.

  When hot water or steam is supplied into the water tank 13 to raise the temperature of the water in the water tank 13, the treatment object supplied to the treatment tank 12 in the water tank 13 can be heated. This heating process refers to a process in which heat is applied to the object to be processed through water, for example, a process in which the object to be processed is cooked, boiled or boiled.

  In order to increase the temperature in the water tank 13, as means for supplying hot water, a method of supplying hot water directly from a water supply port (not shown) provided in the water tank 13 or a water sending device 31 is used. A method of supplying warm water or steam as a part (or all) of the water to be jetted is mentioned.

  The driving device 14 is provided at a fixed portion outside the chute 21. As the drive device 14, any device can be used as long as it is a device for rotating the processing rod 12. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a drive shaft 14a, a bearing 14b, a sprocket 14c, etc. Can be given. This is connected to a motor 14d and a chain 14e provided at different positions. The fixed portion outside the chute 21 where the drive device 14, particularly the drive shaft 14 a is provided, is outside the open surface of the treatment rod 12 and outside the side edge of the treatment rod 12 where the chute 21 is provided. The fixed portion of the water tank 13 or the gantry 35 that supports the water tank 13 is referred to. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, drive shafts 14 a parallel to the side edges of the treatment basket 12 are arranged outside the side edges of the water tank 13 on the side where the chute 21 is provided, and both end portions thereof. Is supported on the gantry 35 via a bearing 14b. Moreover, although not shown in figure, the drive shaft 14a parallel to the side edge of the treatment tank 12 is arrange | positioned outside the side edge of the water tank 13 in the side in which the chute | shoot 21 is provided, The both ends are the both ends of the open surface of the water tank 13 You may support via the bearing 14b on the collar part provided in an edge.

  Note that the driving body is not limited to the motor 14d, and an arbitrary one such as an air cylinder can be used. Further, the position of the drive main body is not limited to a position different from the installation place of the drive shaft 14a, and may be the same position.

  A rotation arm 15 having one end fixed to the drive shaft 14a is attached to the drive shaft 14a of the drive device 14. The rotating arm 15 has two, starts at the drive shaft 14a, bends at an intermediate corner, and extends from both side edges of the chute 21 of the processing rod 12 to both end surfaces of the processing rod 12, respectively. 25 is disposed below.

  A concave support portion 15a is provided in the vicinity of the distal end portion of the rotation arm 15, and a fulcrum pin 24 is rotatably supported by the support portion 15a. The rotating arm 15 has an arm tip portion 15b extending beyond the support portion 15a.

  Since the shape of the pivot arm 15 is bent halfway, the center of rotation of the pivot arm 15, that is, the position of the drive shaft 14a is set above the fulcrum pin 24 of the processing rod 12, as shown in FIG. can do. Thereby, when the processing rod 12 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 5, the chute 21 can be moved upward, and collision with the water tank 13 or the gantry 35 can be prevented. The shape of the rotating arm 15 is not limited to a bent shape in the middle of the treatment rod 12 as long as the processing rod 12 can be moved up and down and can be rotated. .

  A predetermined gap in the vertical direction is provided between the arm tip 15b and the support plate 25. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, the rotating arm 15 is rotated until the arm tip 15b of the rotating arm 15 comes into contact with the support plate 25 (up to the position (II) in FIG. 5). The treatment rod 12 can maintain its balance with the fulcrum pin 24 as a fulcrum, and the treatment rod 12 moves up and down in parallel. In addition, after the arm tip 15b of the rotating arm 15 and the support plate 25 come into contact (between the position (II) and the position (III) in FIG. 5), the processing rod 12 has the rotating arm 15, Contact is made at two points of the fulcrum pin 24 and the support plate 25. For this reason, the processing rod 12 is supported at a fixed angle with respect to the rotating arm 15. Accordingly, as the pivot arm 15 pivots upward, the processing rod 12 tilts and pivots about the drive shaft 14a.

  Of the arm tip 15b of the pivot arm 15, the portion that contacts the support plate 25 does not have a special shape. However, as shown in FIG. When the inclined portion 15c is provided at the contact portion of the arm tip portion 15b of the rotating arm 15 so as to make surface contact with the support plate 25, the treatment rod 12 can be inclined more stably.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the support portion 15 a is a recessed long hole communicating with the outside. This is to make it easier for the rotating arm 15 to insert the fulcrum pin 24. is there. Therefore, if the pivot arm 15 is rotatable with respect to the fulcrum pin 24, only a hole that can accommodate only the fulcrum pin 24 may be provided. Moreover, although not shown in figure, when providing the recessed long hole, the circular roundness which has a diameter larger than the diameter in the middle of a long hole can be provided in the recessed part. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the fulcrum pin 24 from being detached from the rotating arm 15 when the processing rod 12 is tilted.

  Next, the mechanism of the food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention will be described. First, the processing object 16 to be processed such as washing or warming is placed in the processing tank 12 accommodated in the water tank 13. Next, the upward movement and the downward movement of the rotating arm 15 are repeated within a predetermined range, and the vertical movement of the processing rod 12 is performed. When the turning arm 15 is turned upward, the treatment rod 12 having the fulcrum pin 24 rotatably connected to the turning arm 15 similarly causes a turning movement. At this time, the treatment rod 12 does not rotate so that the opening surface thereof is inclined in one direction until the tip of the rotation arm 15 comes into contact with the support plate 25, and moves in parallel while maintaining a balance. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the support plate 25 and the rotation arm 15 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line come into contact with each other from the state where the rotation arm 15 and the support plate 25 are separated from each other as indicated by the solid line (position (I)). Until it reaches the position (position (II)), the processing rod 12 moves in parallel.

  For this reason, in the range from the position where the treatment rod 12 is stored in the water tank 13 to the position where the tip of the rotation arm 15 contacts the support plate 25, the rotation arm 15 is repeatedly rotated upward and downward. Then, the processing rod 12 moves up and down with its open surface facing upward while maintaining balance. By this vertical movement, the processing object 16 in the processing rod 12 can be swung up and down, and the exclusion object 17 attached to the processing object 16 can be separated from the processing object 16.

  Further, by adjusting the stirring speed of the water delivery device 31 and the supply speed of the supplied water, the processing object 16 is stirred by placing the processing object 16 on the water flow circulating in the one direction. Can be separated from the object 16 to be processed.

  Moreover, when performing a heating process, the water in the water tank 13 can be stirred, convection of water can be promoted, a temperature nonuniformity can be eliminated, and a process target object can be heated uniformly.

  When the water delivery device 31 is driven, from the water delivery device 31, the bottom wall of the water tank 13 or the side wall of the water tank 13 facing the water delivery device 31, the vicinity of the water surface of the water tank 13, and the blind portion 23, A water flow toward the side edge opening 22 of the treatment tank 12 and the bottom of the water tank 13 is generated.

  Since the course 16 is obstructed by the blind portion 23, the processing target 16 is placed in a water flow toward the bottom of the water tank 13. And it merges with the water flow emitted from the water delivery apparatus 31 again, and said process target object 16 gets on the water flow which circulates in this one direction.

  On the other hand, the exclusion 17 passes through the blind portion 23 and moves toward the side edge opening 22 of the treatment basket 12. And this exclusion thing 17 leaves the processing trough 12 from the side edge opening part 22 with water, and is sent to the trough part 32 of the water tank 13 edge part. The water sent to the eaves part 32 is sent to the drainage recovery part 33, and after the exclusion 17 is separated, it is returned to the water tank 13 via the water delivery device 31.

  Then, the turning arm 15 is turned upward. As shown in FIG. 5, the processing rod 12 moves in parallel until the position (II), but after the inclined portion 15 c of the arm tip 15 b comes into contact with the support plate 25, the rotation arm 15 and the support plate 25 are moved. Since the contact state is maintained, as shown by the position (III), the processing rod 12 is tilted and rotated around the drive shaft 14a after the position (II). For this reason, the open surface of the processing rod 12 inclines in one direction. Along with this movement, the chute 21 tilts in the same manner, so that the processing object in the processing basket can be carried out to the outside.

  Thereafter, the processing rod 12 is returned to the original position, and processing such as cleaning of the next processing object and heating processing is performed. At this time, if the water in the water tank 13 is large, the water may be discharged from the bottom of the water tank 13 via the drain port 34. Moreover, when there is little quantity of the water in a water tank, what is necessary is just to supply water from the water supply port (not shown) provided in the water tank 13 or the water delivery apparatus 31. FIG.

  Although this food processing apparatus 11 may be used independently, there are many cases where a plurality of food processing apparatuses 11 are used side by side. At this time, the gantry 35 has a predetermined shape such as a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped, and most of the components such as the water tank 13, the bearing 14b, and the motor 14d are accommodated in the gantry 35, and an apparatus provided outside the gantry 35 is provided as much as possible. By reducing the size, the food processing apparatus 11 can be installed around the frame of the food processing apparatus 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the gantry 35 is a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped, when one food processing apparatus 11 a is used as a reference, the next food processing apparatus is placed on the end surface in the direction in which the cleaned processing object is carried out. In addition to installing 11b, a food processing apparatus 11c that conveys the object to be processed to the food processing apparatus 11a can be installed on the remaining end surface and both side surfaces. Therefore, when using a plurality of food processing apparatuses 11 side by side, they can be arranged not only in a straight line direction but also in an arbitrary arrangement such as a T shape or a cross shape depending on the situation of the installation location.

  The movement of the treatment basket 12 of the food processing apparatus 11 according to the present invention first translates and then tilts and rotates. For this reason, when the tilt rotation is started, the treatment basket 12 is raised by a predetermined distance from the water tank 13, and a larger treatment basket can be used as compared with the case where the treatment basket 12 is rotated from the beginning.

  In addition, seasoning and processing target object processing can also be performed simultaneously with washing | cleaning or a heating process, if a processing target additive etc. are added at the time of washing | cleaning or a heating process.

  Furthermore, a cover can be attached to the upper part or the upper part of the open surface of the water tank 13 as necessary when the water temperature in the water tank is heated with water close to the boiling point.

  The processing object 16 that can be processed by the food processing apparatus according to the present invention is not particularly limited. Agricultural products such as vegetables, cereals, fruits, and beans, marine products such as fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, cuts of agricultural products and marine products, An arbitrary processing object such as an intermediate processed product or a processed food product that has been cooked is exemplified.

  Examples of the exclusion include hair, waste generated by heating treatment, food waste such as fragments of processing objects smaller than the standard, pebbles, paper waste, insects, straw, and the like.
