  As described above, the hot water disinfection device or cleaning device for agricultural products such as seed potatoes has already been widely known, and many improvements have been added from various viewpoints. Accordingly, a problem to be solved by the present invention is firstly to provide a small-sized and large-capacity soy sauce hot water disinfecting and cooling device that can realize a series of soy sauce hot water disinfection treatment by a simple operation.

  In other words, in the conventional hot water disinfection treatment device and method for hot water disinfection, the operator sticks to the device even if the container containing the seed water is transferred sequentially from the hot water tank to the cooling tank using the transfer conveyor. It was necessary to keep an eye on the work. Moreover, even if it is a seed sterilizer that hangs a bag containing seed pods on a hanger provided on a traveling conveyor and lays a hot water sterilization bath and a water cooling tub arranged side by side, the bag containing seed pods is suspended on a hanger. It is difficult for an operator to leave the device for a long time in order to remove the device from the hanger.

  Moreover, the hanger suspended from the apparatus cannot be provided without a gap, and if the processing amount of the apparatus is to be increased, the apparatus must be enlarged and transported through the hot water disinfection tub and the water cooling tub at a higher speed.

  In addition, if an attempt is made to achieve hot water sterilization for 10 minutes by using a general vegetable cleaning device as it is for a hot water disinfection device for seeds, it cannot be easily achieved due to the work of carrying in / out the seeds to / from the device. It was. In other words, in order to accurately maintain the hot water disinfection time of 10 minutes, it is necessary to shorten the time required for loading and unloading. In other words, it is conceivable to take special means such as a robot for carrying in / out, or increase the carrying speed of the conveyor itself to shorten the time required for carrying in / out. However, with the former means, the apparatus becomes complicated and expensive, and with the latter means, the length of the hot water tank for obtaining hot water time of 10 minutes becomes enormous.

  In the seed soaked hot water disinfection and cooling device of the present invention, the operation of storing the seed sow storage bag side by side in the transport section formed on the conveyor running in the hot water, and fully automatic, 10 minutes hot water disinfection and 5 minutes Since it is automatically stored in the scallop-shaped processing basket storage container after cooling with cold water, the work load on the operator is small, and the transfer to the subsequent processing (drying processing, etc.) of the seed bag containing bags after the disinfection processing is completed You can see the gap between. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of the scallop-shaped treatment basket storage containers, and more work can be made.

  As described above, the hot water disinfection device or cleaning device for agricultural products such as seed potatoes has already been widely known, and many improvements have been added from various viewpoints. Accordingly, a problem to be solved by the present invention is firstly to provide a small-sized and large-capacity soy sauce hot water disinfecting and cooling device that can realize a series of soy sauce hot water disinfection treatment by a simple operation.

  In other words, in the conventional hot water disinfection treatment device and method for hot water disinfection, the operator sticks to the device even if the container containing the seed water is transferred sequentially from the hot water tank to the cooling tank using the transfer conveyor. It was necessary to keep an eye on the work. Moreover, even if it is a seed sterilizer that hangs a bag containing seed pods on a hanger provided on a traveling conveyor and lays a hot water sterilization bath and a water cooling tub arranged side by side, the bag containing seed pods is suspended on a hanger. It is difficult for an operator to leave the device for a long time in order to remove the device from the hanger.

  Moreover, the hanger suspended from the apparatus cannot be provided without a gap, and if the processing amount of the apparatus is to be increased, the apparatus must be enlarged and transported through the hot water disinfection tub and the water cooling tub at a higher speed.

  In addition, some bucket type conveyors are also found, but this also complicates the structure for providing the buckets, and the buckets cannot be provided without gaps. Would increase the size of the bucket and the bucket itself.

  In addition, if an attempt is made to achieve hot water sterilization for 10 minutes by using a general vegetable cleaning device as it is for a hot water disinfection device for seeds, it cannot be easily achieved due to the work of carrying in / out the seeds to / from the device. It was. In other words, in order to accurately maintain the hot water disinfection time of 10 minutes, it is necessary to shorten the time required for loading and unloading. In other words, it is conceivable to take special means such as a robot for carrying in / out, or increase the carrying speed of the conveyor itself to shorten the time required for carrying in / out. However, with the former means, the apparatus becomes complicated and expensive, and with the latter means, the length of the hot water tank for obtaining hot water time of 10 minutes becomes enormous.

  In the seed soaked hot water disinfection and cooling device of the present invention, the operation of storing the seed sow storage bag side by side in the transport section formed on the conveyor running in the hot water, and fully automatic, 10 minutes hot water disinfection and 5 minutes Since it is automatically stored in the scallop-shaped processing basket storage container after cooling with cold water, the work load on the operator is small, and the transfer to the subsequent processing (drying processing, etc.) of the seed bag containing bags after the disinfection processing is completed You can see the gap between. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of the scallop-shaped treatment basket storage containers, and more work can be made.

  Furthermore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to simultaneously achieve an increase in the processing amount and a reduction in the size of the apparatus while achieving automation of the disinfection and cooling process of the soy sauce hot water.

  As a hot water disinfection device for seed potatoes, it can be said that for large-scale farmers and cooperatives, in addition to increasing the amount of processing, downsizing the device is an indispensable condition. In any apparatus, in general, the apparatus must be enlarged to increase the throughput. In view of this, the present invention has found that the greatest problem is to simultaneously achieve an increase in throughput and a reduction in the size of the apparatus, and has found a solution.

Compared with the hanger method and the bucket method, it is possible to provide a small-sized, large-capacity, easy-to-use soy sauce hot water disinfection and cooling device and method.

  The seed soaked hot water disinfection and cooling device of the present invention can be placed adjacent to the hot water tank transport conveyor and the cooling tank transport conveyor disposed in the hot water tank and the cooling tank. The distance in the transfer direction can be minimized, and the throughput can be increased in addition to downsizing of the apparatus. If you just want to increase the amount of processing, increase the horizontal dimension and increase the number of seeds storage bags loaded in a row, or increase the transfer speed of the transfer conveyor and soak in hot water You can increase the number.
