Description

この発明は、例えば細切りや角切り等にカットしたカット野菜を殺菌洗浄することに使用される野菜洗浄システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vegetable cleaning system used for sterilizing and cleaning cut vegetables that have been cut into, for example, shredded or cut into squares.

従来、この種の食材洗浄システムとしては、例えば特許文献１に開示されるような構成が提案されている。
この従来構成においては、食材を浸すための塩水を蓄える処理槽と、その処理槽に塩水を供給する塩水供給路と装備されている。塩水供給路には、処理槽に供給する塩水を電気分解して塩素を生成するための電解槽が介装されている。この電解槽には、外部給水源の水と濃塩水タンクの濃塩水とを混合調製した希塩水が供給される。処理槽には、その処理槽に供給する塩水の濃度を検出するための濃度センサが設けられている。そして、この濃度センサにより検出された塩水の濃度が設定値から外れたとき、水と濃塩水との混合割合が調整される。この混合割合の調整により、電解槽から処理槽に供給される塩水中の塩素濃度が所定値となるように調整される。 Conventionally, as this kind of food cleaning system, for example, a configuration as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.
In this conventional configuration, a processing tank for storing salt water for immersing food materials and a salt water supply path for supplying salt water to the processing tank are provided. An electrolytic tank for electrolyzing salt water supplied to the treatment tank to generate chlorine is interposed in the salt water supply path. The electrolytic cell is supplied with dilute salt water prepared by mixing and mixing water from an external water supply source and concentrated salt water from a concentrated salt water tank. The treatment tank is provided with a concentration sensor for detecting the concentration of salt water supplied to the treatment tank. And when the density | concentration of the salt water detected by this density | concentration sensor remove | deviates from a setting value, the mixing ratio of water and concentrated salt water is adjusted. By adjusting the mixing ratio, the chlorine concentration in the salt water supplied from the electrolytic cell to the treatment tank is adjusted to a predetermined value.

さらに、この従来構成においては、電解槽の内部が隔壁により一対の電極と対応する２つの電解室とに区画され、各電解室において酸性電解水及びアルカリ性電解水が生成される。処理槽には、その処理槽内の塩水のｐＨを検出するｐＨセンサが設けられている。そして、このｐＨセンサにより検出された塩水のｐＨが設定値よりも低い場合には、アルカリ性電解水のみが電解槽から処理槽に供給される。これに対して、ｐＨセンサにより検出された塩水のｐＨが設定値よりも高い場合には、酸性電解水のみが電解槽から処理槽に供給される。この酸性電解水の供給により、処理槽内の塩水のｐＨが調整される。
特開２００２−２７２４３５号公報 Furthermore, in this conventional configuration, the inside of the electrolytic cell is partitioned into two electrolytic chambers corresponding to the pair of electrodes by a partition, and acidic electrolyzed water and alkaline electrolyzed water are generated in each electrolyzed chamber. The treatment tank is provided with a pH sensor that detects the pH of the salt water in the treatment tank. And when the pH of the salt water detected by this pH sensor is lower than a preset value, only alkaline electrolyzed water is supplied from an electrolytic cell to a processing tank. On the other hand, when the pH of the salt water detected by the pH sensor is higher than the set value, only acidic electrolyzed water is supplied from the electrolytic cell to the treatment tank. By supplying the acidic electrolyzed water, the pH of the salt water in the treatment tank is adjusted.
JP 2002-272435 A

ところが、この従来構成においては、前記のように、処理槽内の塩水の濃度を検出して、その検出値が所定値となるように塩水濃度を変更することより、塩水中の塩素濃度を調整するようにしている。ここで、塩素濃度はカット野菜の大きさ・種類・量により失活速度が大きく異なり、塩水の電気分解後は、表１から明らかなように、処理槽内にて安定した塩素濃度を確保することは困難であった。   However, in this conventional configuration, as described above, the concentration of chlorine in salt water is adjusted by detecting the concentration of salt water in the treatment tank and changing the salt water concentration so that the detected value becomes a predetermined value. Like to do. Here, the chlorine concentration varies greatly depending on the size, type and amount of the cut vegetables, and after the electrolysis of salt water, as shown in Table 1, a stable chlorine concentration is secured in the treatment tank. It was difficult.

Figure 2010022325
また、この従来構成においては、処理槽内の塩水のｐＨを検出して、その検出値が所定値となるように、電解槽から処理槽に対して酸性電解水またはアルカリ性電解水を切換え供給するようにしている。このため、電解槽の構成が複雑になるとともに、ｐＨの調整制御が煩雑になるという問題があった。
Figure 2010022325
 Further, in this conventional configuration, the pH of the salt water in the treatment tank is detected, and acidic electrolytic water or alkaline electrolytic water is switched and supplied from the electrolytic tank to the treatment tank so that the detected value becomes a predetermined value. I am doing so. For this reason, there existed a problem that the structure of an electrolytic cell became complicated and pH adjustment control became complicated.

この発明は、このような従来の技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものである。その主たる目的は、洗浄槽内の洗浄水の有効塩素濃度を直接検出して、その有効塩素濃度が所定値となるように簡単に調整制御することができる野菜洗浄システムを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. Its main purpose is to provide a vegetable cleaning system that can directly detect the effective chlorine concentration of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank and easily adjust and control the effective chlorine concentration to a predetermined value.

また、この発明のその上の目的は、洗浄槽内の洗浄水のｐＨが所定値よりも高くなった場合でも、簡単に調整制御することができる野菜洗浄システムを提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a vegetable cleaning system that can be easily adjusted and controlled even when the pH of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank becomes higher than a predetermined value.

上記の目的を達成するために、この発明は、電解次亜水生成装置で生成される所定有効塩素濃度の電解次亜水を洗浄水として洗浄槽に連続的に供給しながら、その洗浄槽内で野菜を殺菌洗浄するようにした野菜洗浄システムにおいて、前記洗浄槽内の洗浄水の有効塩素濃度を検出する濃度検出手段と、その濃度検出手段の検出値が所定値よりも低下したとき、洗浄槽内に高濃度電解次亜水を供給して洗浄水の有効塩素濃度を調整する濃度調整手段とを備えたことを特徴としている。   In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention continuously supplies electrolytic hyponitrous acid having a predetermined effective chlorine concentration generated in the electrolytic hyponitrous generator as washing water to the washing tank, In the vegetable washing system in which the vegetables are sterilized and washed, the concentration detection means for detecting the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water in the washing tank, and when the detection value of the concentration detection means falls below a predetermined value, washing It is characterized by comprising a concentration adjusting means for adjusting the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water by supplying high concentration electrolytic hyponitrous acid into the tank.

従って、この発明の野菜洗浄システムにおいては、野菜の殺菌洗浄時に、洗浄槽内の洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が濃度検出手段により検出される。そして、この有効塩素濃度の検出値が所定値よりも低下したときには、濃度調整手段により洗浄槽内に高濃度電解次亜水が供給されて、洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が所定値となるように調整される。よって、洗浄水の有効塩素濃度を直接検出して、その検出結果に基づいて有効塩素濃度が所定値となるように簡単に調整制御することができる。   Therefore, in the vegetable cleaning system of the present invention, the effective chlorine concentration of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank is detected by the concentration detecting means when the vegetables are sterilized and cleaned. When the detected value of effective chlorine concentration falls below a predetermined value, the concentration adjusting means supplies high-concentration electrolytic hyponitrous acid into the cleaning tank so that the effective chlorine concentration of the cleaning water becomes a predetermined value. Adjusted. Therefore, the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water can be directly detected, and the adjustment control can be easily performed based on the detection result so that the effective chlorine concentration becomes a predetermined value.

また、前記の構成において、前記洗浄槽内の洗浄水のｐＨを検出するｐＨ検出手段と、そのｐＨ検出手段の検出値が所定範囲を越えたとき、洗浄槽内に酸を供給して洗浄水のｐＨを調整するｐＨ調整手段とをさらに備えるとよい。このように構成した場合には、野菜の殺菌洗浄時に、洗浄槽内の洗浄水のｐＨがｐＨ検出手段により検出される。そして、このｐＨの検出値が所定範囲を越えたときには、ｐＨ調整手段により洗浄槽内に酸が供給されて、洗浄水のｐＨが所定値となるように調整される。よって、洗浄水のｐＨが所定値よりも高くなった場合でも、簡単に調整制御することができる。   Further, in the above configuration, the pH detecting means for detecting the pH of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank, and when the detected value of the pH detecting means exceeds a predetermined range, the cleaning water is supplied by supplying acid to the cleaning tank. It is preferable to further comprise pH adjusting means for adjusting the pH. In such a configuration, the pH of the washing water in the washing tank is detected by the pH detection means at the time of sterilizing and washing the vegetables. When the detected pH value exceeds a predetermined range, acid is supplied into the cleaning tank by the pH adjusting means so that the pH of the cleaning water is adjusted to a predetermined value. Therefore, even when the pH of the cleaning water becomes higher than a predetermined value, the adjustment control can be easily performed.

さらに、前記の構成において、前記濃度検出手段またはｐＨ検出手段の検出結果を経時的に記録する記録手段をさらに備えるとよい。このように構成した場合には、野菜の殺菌洗浄中に、品質管理に必要な洗浄水の有効塩素濃度やｐＨの状態を、作業者が手作業で所定時間おき等に記録する必要がなく、作業を簡素化することができる。   Furthermore, in the above-described configuration, it is preferable to further include a recording unit that records the detection result of the concentration detection unit or the pH detection unit over time. When configured in this way, during the sterilization washing of vegetables, it is not necessary for the operator to manually record the effective chlorine concentration and pH state of the washing water necessary for quality control every predetermined time, Work can be simplified.

以上のように、この発明によれば、洗浄槽内の洗浄水の有効塩素濃度を直接検出して、その有効塩素濃度が所定値となるように簡単に調整制御することができるという効果を発揮する。   As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to directly detect the effective chlorine concentration of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank and easily adjust and control the effective chlorine concentration to a predetermined value. To do.

When the water level sensor 21 detects an increase in the water level of the cleaning water in the adjustment tank 18, the cleaning water return pump 25 is operated by the motor 26, and the cleaning water in the adjustment tank 18 passes through the return path 24. It is returned to the cleaning tank 11.

また、この野菜の殺菌洗浄中には、濃度センサ２２により洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が検出されて、その検出結果がメモリ３７に記憶された規定値と比較される。そして、濃度センサ２２で検出された洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が規定値よりも低下したときには、モータ２９により高濃度電解次亜水供給ポンプ２８が作動されて、貯留タンク１７内の高濃度電解次亜水が濃度調整路２７を介して洗浄槽１１内に供給される。この高濃度電解次亜水により、洗浄槽１１内の洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が規定値となるように調整される。よって、野菜の殺菌洗浄中に、洗浄水に含まれる塩素と有機物との反応等に起因して、洗浄水の有効塩素濃度が低下したとしても、それが直ちに濃度復帰して、野菜の殺菌効果が低減することを抑制することができる。   Further, during the sterilization washing of the vegetables, the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water is detected by the concentration sensor 22, and the detection result is compared with the specified value stored in the memory 37. When the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water detected by the concentration sensor 22 falls below a specified value, the high concentration electrolytic sub-sewage supply pump 28 is operated by the motor 29 and the high concentration electrolytic secondary in the storage tank 17 is operated. The sub-water is supplied into the cleaning tank 11 through the concentration adjusting path 27. The effective chlorine concentration of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 11 is adjusted by the high-concentration electrolytic hyponitrous acid so as to become a specified value. Therefore, even if the effective chlorine concentration in the wash water decreases due to the reaction between chlorine and organic substances contained in the wash water during sterilization washing of vegetables, the concentration immediately recovers and the sterilization effect of the vegetables Can be reduced.

さらに、この野菜の殺菌洗浄中には、ｐＨセンサ２３により洗浄水のｐＨが検出されて、その検出結果がメモリ３７に記憶された規定範囲（ｐＨ５〜６．５）と比較される。そして、ｐＨセンサ２３で検出された洗浄水のｐＨが規定範囲を越えたときには、モータ３３により酸添加ポンプ３２が作動されて、酸収容タンク３０内の酸がｐＨ調整路３１を介して洗浄槽１１内に添加される。これにより、洗浄槽１１内の洗浄水のｐＨが規定範囲となるように調整される。よって、野菜の殺菌洗浄中に、野菜や電解次亜水の供給等に伴って、洗浄水のｐＨが規定範囲を越えて上昇（アルカリ性化）することを防止でき、野菜の殺菌効果が低減することを抑制することができる。   Further, during the sterilization washing of the vegetables, the pH of the washing water is detected by the pH sensor 23, and the detection result is compared with a specified range (pH 5 to 6.5) stored in the memory 37. When the pH of the washing water detected by the pH sensor 23 exceeds the specified range, the acid addition pump 32 is operated by the motor 33 so that the acid in the acid storage tank 30 is washed through the pH adjustment path 31. 11 is added. Thereby, the pH of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank 11 is adjusted to be within a specified range. Therefore, during the sterilization washing of vegetables, it is possible to prevent the pH of the washing water from rising beyond the specified range (alkalineization) due to the supply of vegetables and electrolytic hypochlorite, and the sterilization effect of vegetables is reduced. This can be suppressed.

しかも、この野菜の殺菌洗浄中には、前記濃度センサ２２及びｐＨセンサ２３の検出結果等が記録部３９において経時的に記録される。よって、品質管理に必要な洗浄水の有効塩素濃度やｐＨの状態を、作業者が手作業で所定時間おき等に記録する必要がなく、作業を簡素化することができる。そして、洗浄槽１１内において野菜の洗浄が終了すると、その野菜が洗浄槽１１から野菜受け部１４に取り出される。   In addition, during the sterilization washing of the vegetables, the detection results of the concentration sensor 22 and the pH sensor 23 are recorded in the recording unit 39 over time. Therefore, it is not necessary for the operator to manually record the effective chlorine concentration and pH state of the cleaning water necessary for quality control every predetermined time, and the work can be simplified. And when washing | cleaning of vegetables is complete | finished in the washing tank 11, the vegetables are taken out from the washing tank 11 to the vegetable receiving part 14. FIG.

Therefore, by directly detecting the effective chlorine concentration of the washing water, it is possible to easily adjust and control the effective chlorine concentration to be a predetermined value based on the detection result.

（２） この実施形態の野菜洗浄システムにおいては、野菜の殺菌洗浄時に、洗浄槽１１内の洗浄水のｐＨが検出されて、その検出結果が所定範囲を越えたとき、洗浄槽１１内に酸が供給されて、洗浄水のｐＨが調整される。よって、洗浄水のｐＨが所定値よりも高くなった場合でも、その洗浄水のｐＨが所定値となるように簡単に調整制御することができる。   (2) In the vegetable washing system of this embodiment, when the pH of the washing water in the washing tank 11 is detected at the time of sterilization washing of vegetables, and the detection result exceeds a predetermined range, an acid is contained in the washing tank 11.
