Description

本発明は、熱風を利用してコーヒー豆(生豆)その他の食品類などを焙煎するのに用いられる熱風式焙煎装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a hot-air roasting apparatus used to roast coffee beans (raw beans) and other foods using hot air.

従来、熱風式の焙煎装置として、複数の孔があけられた底板を備える焙煎容器(ケーシング)の下部に熱風室を形成し、その熱風室に供給した熱風を、多孔状の底板を通じて焙煎容器内に流入させながら、その風圧によって焙煎容器内の処理物を流動させるようにした構成のものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1)。   Conventionally, as a hot air roasting apparatus, a hot air chamber is formed in the lower part of a roasting container (casing) having a bottom plate with a plurality of holes, and the hot air supplied to the hot air chamber is roasted through a porous bottom plate. The thing of the structure which made it flow the processed material in a roasting container with the wind pressure while making it flow in into a roasting container is known (for example, patent document 1).

特開平6−7132号公報JP-A-6-7132

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載される焙煎装置では、焙煎容器の底板にあけられた孔の上に位置する処理物が吹き上げられるだけで、処理物全体が大きく流動せず、このため均一な焙煎処理ができないという問題がある。   However, in the roasting apparatus described in Patent Document 1, only the processed material positioned above the hole formed in the bottom plate of the roasting container is blown up, and the entire processed material does not flow greatly, and therefore it is uniform. There is a problem that it cannot be roasted.

又、焙煎容器は金属製とされることが通例であるところ、焙煎容器内での処理物の焙煎処理中において、処理物の状態を外部から視認することができないという問題があった。加えて、金属製の焙煎容器では、伝熱性、蓄熱性が高いため、焙煎容器内が高温状態に達した段階で熱風の温度を下げても、容器内温度が即応して降下せず、これにより焙煎容器の壁面や底面に接触する処理物が過熱されてしまうことがある。しかも、底板による閉鎖部分において、熱変形による隙間が生じて処理物から発生した脂成分を含む煙が周囲に漏れ出す虞があった。尚、この点、特許文献1では、焙煎容器の下部外周にシール材を設けているので煙の漏れ出しを防止できるが、係るシール材には耐熱性が要求されるので、その種のシール材を備えることにより装置コストが高くなる。   In addition, it is customary that the roasting container is made of metal, but there is a problem that the state of the processed product cannot be visually recognized from outside during the roasting process of the processed product in the roasting container. . In addition, metal roasting containers have high heat transfer and heat storage properties, so even if the temperature of hot air is lowered when the temperature in the roasting container reaches a high temperature, the temperature in the container does not drop immediately. As a result, the processed material that contacts the wall surface or bottom surface of the roasting container may be overheated. In addition, in the closed portion of the bottom plate, a gap due to thermal deformation is generated, and there is a possibility that smoke containing a fat component generated from the processed material leaks out to the surroundings. In this regard, in Patent Document 1, since a sealing material is provided on the outer periphery of the lower portion of the roasting container, it is possible to prevent smoke from leaking out. By providing the material, the apparatus cost is increased.

本発明は以上のような諸般の事情に鑑みて成されたものであり、その主たる目的は熱風加熱式の焙煎装置にして、コーヒー生豆などを均一に焙煎処理できるようにすることにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the various circumstances as described above, and its main purpose is to use a hot-air heating type roasting device to uniformly roast coffee beans and the like. is there.

The hot air roasting apparatus according to (5), wherein a flow path switching means is provided.

本発明に係る熱風式焙煎装置によれば、ノズルから噴射される熱風により焙煎容器内の処理物を上下にうねらせながら回流させることができる。このため、処理物を良好に撹拌して過不足なく均一に焙煎処理することができる。   According to the hot air roasting apparatus according to the present invention, the processed material in the roasting vessel can be swirled up and down by the hot air jetted from the nozzle. For this reason, a processed material can be well stirred and roasted uniformly without excess or deficiency.

又、ノズルは、容器本体の軸線に平行して当該軸線回りに等間隔に配された上流管部と、その上流管部に連続して当該上流管部の軸線上から容器本体の下端開口部の周縁部に向けて斜め下方に屈曲する下流管部とを有する屈曲管とされていることから、複数のノズルを組み付けるに際し、上流管部を回転させながら下流管部の向きを容易かつ適切に設定することができる。   In addition, the nozzle includes an upstream pipe portion arranged at equal intervals around the axis parallel to the axis of the container body, and a lower end opening of the container body from the axis of the upstream pipe portion continuously to the upstream pipe portion. Therefore, when assembling a plurality of nozzles, the direction of the downstream pipe portion is easily and appropriately rotated while rotating the upstream pipe portion. Can be set.

加えて、焙煎容器本体が透明な耐熱ガラス製とされることにより、処理物の状態を外部から視認できるほか、処理物の挙動により見物者の目を楽しませるという魅力的な演出効果が得られる。しかも、容器本体の下部がテーパ部とされることにより、熱風による処理物のうねりを大きくすることができる。   In addition, since the roasting container body is made of transparent heat-resistant glass, the state of the processed product can be visually recognized from the outside, and the attractive effect of enjoying the viewer's eyes by the behavior of the processed product is obtained. It is done. In addition, since the lower portion of the container body is a tapered portion, the swell of the processed product due to hot air can be increased.

更に、蓋部材が金属基材の表面にセラミックコーティングを施した板状構造物とされることにより、容器本体との間に熱変形による隙間が生ずることを防止できるので、シール材を使用せずして密閉性を確保することが可能となるほか、焙煎容器が熱風を受けて蓄熱過熱しないので、ノズルから噴射される熱風の温度、風量によって焙煎容器内を目標温度に制御して、処理物全体を過不足なく一様に加熱することができる。   Furthermore, since the lid member is a plate-like structure with a ceramic coating on the surface of the metal substrate, it is possible to prevent a gap due to thermal deformation from occurring between the container body and the seal member without using a sealing material. In addition to being able to ensure sealing, the roasting container receives hot air and does not accumulate heat, so the inside of the roasting container is controlled to the target temperature by the temperature of the hot air sprayed from the nozzle and the air volume, The entire treated product can be heated uniformly without excess or deficiency.

又、排気チャンバと焙煎容器との間に、容器本体の上端部をバネ力によって固定枠に押し付ける構造の容器接続部が介在される構成では、容器本体の上部取付部分においてもシール材を使用せずして密閉性を確保することができる。   In addition, in the configuration in which a container connection part is interposed between the exhaust chamber and the roasting container and the upper end of the container body is pressed against the fixed frame by a spring force, a sealing material is also used in the upper mounting part of the container body Without being able to ensure sealing performance.

又、前記容器本体の直下となる位置において、送風機の吸込口に連通する外気取込口が形成され、その外気取込口上に底面部が通気性を有する可搬型の処理物受容器が嵌合状態で配置される構成では、焙煎処理された高温状態の処理物をすぐさま空冷することができる。   In addition, an external air intake port communicating with the air intake port of the blower is formed at a position directly below the container main body, and a portable processed material receiver whose bottom portion has air permeability is fitted on the external air intake port. In the configuration arranged in a state, the roasted processed material in a high temperature state can be immediately air-cooled.

特に、前記送風機の吸込口と外気取込口が吸気ダクトにより連通され、その吸気ダクトが外気取込口から送風機に直通する本流部と、外気取込口からエアフィルタを介して送風機に連なる副流部とを有すると共に、吸気ダクトには、焙煎処理された処理物を処理物受容器内において外気取込口に引き込まれる外気で空冷するときに、外気の流路を本流部から副流部に切り換える流路切換手段が設けられていることから、焙煎直後の処理物から発生する脂成分を含む煙をエアフィルタにより除去し、送風機の羽根に脂が付着することによる送風性能の劣化を防止することができる。   In particular, a suction port and an outside air intake port of the blower are communicated by an intake duct, a main flow portion where the intake duct directly communicates with the blower from the outside air intake port, and a sub-stream connected to the blower from the outside air intake port via an air filter. And the air intake duct has a flow path for the outside air from the main flow portion as a secondary flow when the roasted processed product is air-cooled with the outside air drawn into the outside air intake port in the processed product receiver. Since the flow path switching means for switching to the part is provided, the smoke containing the fat component generated from the processed product immediately after roasting is removed by the air filter, and the blowing performance is deteriorated by the fat adhering to the blades of the blower Can be prevented.

And as for the roasting container 2, the upper end of the container main body 21 is connected to the lower end part of the exhaust chamber 4 via the container connection part 3 as mentioned above.

容器接続部3は、排気チャンバ4の下端外周に固定したリング状の固定枠31と、容器本体21の鍔部21bを介して固定枠31に対向する可動枠32とを有し、その可動枠32がバネ33によって固定枠31側に付勢される構成とされている。尚、固定枠31には、鍔部21bより外周側で可動枠32を貫通する複数のバネ受けピン34が取り付けられており、そのバネ受けピン34の下端に形成される受座34aと可動枠32との間でバネ受けピン34の外周に上記のバネ33が設けられている。これによれば、固定枠31に容器本体21の上端面が密着されるために、シール材を用いずに容器本体21の接続部分を密封することができる。   The container connecting portion 3 has a ring-shaped fixed frame 31 fixed to the outer periphery of the lower end of the exhaust chamber 4 and a movable frame 32 facing the fixed frame 31 via the flange portion 21b of the container main body 21. 32 is biased toward the fixed frame 31 by a spring 33. The fixed frame 31 is provided with a plurality of spring receiving pins 34 penetrating the movable frame 32 on the outer peripheral side from the flange portion 21b, and a receiving seat 34a formed at the lower end of the spring receiving pin 34 and the movable frame. The spring 33 is provided on the outer periphery of the spring receiving pin 34. According to this, since the upper end surface of the container main body 21 is brought into close contact with the fixed frame 31, the connection portion of the container main body 21 can be sealed without using a sealing material.

一方、前述のように、焙煎容器2内には複数のノズル6が設けられている。それらノズル6は、図5に示すように上端が熱風流入口6aとされる上流管部61と、その上流管部61に対して屈曲する下流管部62とが一体に連なる断面円形の屈曲管であり、その上端部は熱風流入口6aが給気チャンバ7に連通する状態で当該給気チャンバ7の底部を成す端板71に固着されている。尚、図6において、上流管部61と下流管部62は互いの軸線が鈍角状に交わるように屈曲されており、上流管部61に対する下流管部62の屈曲角θは図示例において30度とされている。   On the other hand, as described above, a plurality of nozzles 6 are provided in the roasting container 2. As shown in FIG. 5, these nozzles 6 are bent pipes having a circular cross section in which an upstream pipe section 61 whose upper end is a hot air inlet 6 a and a downstream pipe section 62 bent with respect to the upstream pipe section 61 are integrally connected. The upper end of the hot air inlet 6 a is fixed to an end plate 71 that forms the bottom of the air supply chamber 7 with the hot air inlet 6 a communicating with the air supply chamber 7. In FIG. 6, the upstream pipe 61 and the downstream pipe 62 are bent so that their axes intersect each other at an obtuse angle, and the bending angle θ of the downstream pipe 62 with respect to the upstream pipe 61 is 30 degrees in the illustrated example. It is said that.

又、図7から明らかなように、本例では3本のノズル6が用いられ、その各ノズル6が容器本体21の軸線回りに等間隔(120度間隔)に配列されている。そして、図4のように上流管部61は容器本体21の軸線に平行して上下方向に延び、下流管部62は上流管部61の軸線上から容器本体21の下端開口部の周縁部に向けて斜め下方に屈曲している。特に、図7から明らかなように、下流管部62は、容器本体21と上流管部61との軸線を含む仮想の平面fに対して交差する方向に向けられている。つまり、下流管部62は、それぞれ対応する上流管部61の軸線位置を基準にして、容器本体21の半径方向より周方向に所定の角度ψずつ偏角配向されている。   As is apparent from FIG. 7, three nozzles 6 are used in this example, and the nozzles 6 are arranged at equal intervals (120 ° intervals) around the axis of the container body 21. As shown in FIG. 4, the upstream pipe 61 extends in the vertical direction in parallel with the axis of the container body 21, and the downstream pipe 62 extends from the axis of the upstream pipe 61 to the peripheral edge of the lower end opening of the container body 21. It is bent obliquely downward. In particular, as is apparent from FIG. 7, the downstream pipe portion 62 is oriented in a direction that intersects the virtual plane f including the axis of the container body 21 and the upstream pipe portion 61. That is, the downstream pipe portions 62 are deviated by a predetermined angle ψ in the circumferential direction from the radial direction of the container body 21 with reference to the axial positions of the corresponding upstream pipe portions 61.

したがって、それらノズル6の下端開口部(熱風噴射口6b)より噴射された熱風は、容器本体21の下部内周面に沿って旋回し、熱風噴射口6bの付近では焙煎容器2内の処理物が容器本体21のテーパ部21aに沿って吹き上げされる。このため、焙煎容器2内の処理物は、図5の点線で示されるよう上下にうねりながら回流する。これによれば、処理物が良好に撹拌されるために均一な焙煎処理を行なえるほか、焙煎処理中の処理物の挙動(うねり/回流)を外部から視認できるので、例えばコーヒーショップでのコーヒー生豆の焙煎に用いて、来客にコーヒー生豆の挙動を見る楽しみを与えられるという演出効果が得られる。   Therefore, the hot air jetted from the lower end openings (hot air jet ports 6b) of these nozzles 6 swirls along the lower inner peripheral surface of the container body 21, and the processing in the roasting container 2 is performed near the hot air jet ports 6b. An object is blown up along the tapered portion 21a of the container body 21. For this reason, the processed material in the roasting vessel 2 circulates while undulating up and down as shown by the dotted line in FIG. According to this, since the processed material is well agitated, uniform roasting processing can be performed, and the behavior (swell / circulation) of the processed material during roasting processing can be visually recognized from the outside. It can be used for roasting green coffee beans, and the effect of giving visitors the pleasure of seeing the behavior of green coffee beans can be obtained.

加えて、焙煎容器2を構成する蓋部材22が金属基材の表面にセラミックコーティングを施した板状構造物とされていると共に、容器本体21が前述のように耐熱ガラスによる一体成形物とされていることにより、その両者の熱変形が抑制されるために、焙煎処理中において容器本体21の下端開口部を、シール材を使用せずして蓋部材22のみで密閉状態に保つことができるほか、焙煎容器2が熱風を受けて蓄熱過熱しないので、ノズル6から噴射される熱風の温度、風量によって焙煎容器2内を目標温度に制御して、処理物全体を過不足なく一様に加熱することができる。   In addition, the lid member 22 constituting the roasting container 2 is a plate-like structure in which the surface of the metal substrate is ceramic-coated, and the container body 21 is formed of an integrally molded product made of heat-resistant glass as described above. In order to suppress thermal deformation of both of them, the lower end opening of the container main body 21 is kept sealed with only the lid member 22 without using a sealing material during the roasting process. In addition, since the roasting container 2 receives hot air and does not store and overheat, the inside of the roasting container 2 is controlled to a target temperature according to the temperature and the amount of hot air sprayed from the nozzle 6 so that the entire processed material can be kept from being excessive or insufficient. It can be heated uniformly.

尚、焙煎容器2内には、ノズル6の下流管部62の半分程度まで処理物が収容され、その処理物が焙煎処理時にノズル6にも接触するので、これによる処理物の過熱を防止する観点から、ノズル6も蓋部材22と同じく金属基材の表面にセラミックコーティングを施した態様とされている。   In the roasting container 2, the processed product is accommodated up to about half of the downstream pipe portion 62 of the nozzle 6, and the processed product also contacts the nozzle 6 during the roasting process. From the viewpoint of prevention, the nozzle 6 is also in the same manner as the lid member 22 in that a ceramic coating is applied to the surface of the metal substrate.

ここで、蓋部材22は、図4において実線で示される閉口位置と一点鎖線で示される開口位置との間で旋回移動し、その閉口位置において容器本体21の下端開口部が密閉され、開口位置では容器本体21の下端開口部が全開となる構成とされている。   Here, the lid member 22 pivots between the closed position indicated by the solid line and the open position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 4, and the lower end opening of the container body 21 is sealed at the closed position. Then, it is set as the structure by which the lower end opening part of the container main body 21 becomes a full open.

図8〜図12により蓋部材の移動機構について説明すると、図8から明らかなように、給気チャンバ7に接続する送気ダクトDFの外周には、下から順に外筒41、回転リング42、および固定リング43が設けられており、このうち外筒41および回転リング42が送気ダクトDFに対して回転自在とされている。外筒41の下部外周には、電動式シリンダ44のロッド部が接続されており、その伸縮により外筒41が所定の角度範囲内で回動するようになっている。   The lid member moving mechanism will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. As apparent from FIG. 8, the outer cylinder 41, the rotating ring 42, A fixing ring 43 is provided, of which the outer cylinder 41 and the rotating ring 42 are rotatable with respect to the air supply duct DF. The rod part of the electric cylinder 44 is connected to the outer periphery of the lower part of the outer cylinder 41, and the outer cylinder 41 is rotated within a predetermined angle range by expansion and contraction thereof.

又、図9から明らかなように、外筒41の上部には伝動ピン45が固着され、回転リング42の外周にはその半径方向に延びる旋回アーム46が設けられている。旋回アーム46は、一端が回転リング42に固定される芯軸46aと、その外周に回転可能に設けたスリーブ46bからなり、スリーブ46bの基部には伝動ピン45と係合する作動レバー47が固着され、先端部外周にはカム48が固着されている。   As is clear from FIG. 9, a transmission pin 45 is fixed to the upper portion of the outer cylinder 41, and a swivel arm 46 extending in the radial direction is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating ring 42. The swivel arm 46 includes a core shaft 46a, one end of which is fixed to the rotary ring 42, and a sleeve 46b that is rotatably provided on the outer periphery thereof. An operation lever 47 that engages with the transmission pin 45 is fixed to the base of the sleeve 46b. A cam 48 is fixed to the outer periphery of the tip.

一方、芯軸46aの先端にはブラケット49が固着され、そのブラケット49にカム48の上方に位置する蓋受け台座50がボルト止めされている。図10のように、蓋受け台座50は、筒状の台座本体51内に昇降スライダ52を設けた構成で、蓋部材22の底面中心部に設けたボス部22aに対して昇降スライダ52の上端部が球面対偶によって結合している。   On the other hand, a bracket 49 is fixed to the tip of the core shaft 46a, and a lid receiving base 50 positioned above the cam 48 is bolted to the bracket 49. As shown in FIG. 10, the lid receiving pedestal 50 has a configuration in which an elevating slider 52 is provided in a cylindrical pedestal main body 51, and an upper end of the elevating slider 52 with respect to a boss portion 22 a provided at the center of the bottom surface of the lid member 22. The parts are connected by a spherical pair.

しかして、図8に示した電動式シリンダ44の伸縮動作により、外筒41を正逆に回動させると、これに同調して旋回アーム46が水平面内で旋回し、これによって蓋部材22が上記閉口位置と開口位置との間で移動することとなる。   Accordingly, when the outer cylinder 41 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions by the expansion and contraction operation of the electric cylinder 44 shown in FIG. 8, the swivel arm 46 is swung in the horizontal plane in synchronism with this, so that the lid member 22 is moved. It moves between the closing position and the opening position.

図11は、蓋部材22が閉口位置にあって、容器本体21の下端開口部が密閉された状態であり、この状態で外筒41を図11の矢印方向に回動させると、伝動ピン45に係合する作動レバー47が旋回アーム46を中心として図11の反時計回りに回動し、これに連動してスリーブ46b及びカム48が同方向に回動する。これにより、図10に示した昇降スライダ52が蓋部材22と共にカム48による支持位置まで自重で降下(焙煎容器2内の処理物が流出しない数mm程度降下)して図12に示される状態となる。更に、外筒41を同方向に回動し続けると、蓋部材22が旋回アーム46に同調して容器本体21の下端開口部の下方領域から外れる上記開口位置まで旋回移動し、これによって容器本体21内の処理物が外部に排出されることとなる。   FIG. 11 shows a state in which the lid member 22 is in the closed position and the lower end opening of the container body 21 is sealed. In this state, when the outer cylinder 41 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 11 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 11 around the turning arm 46, and in conjunction with this, the sleeve 46b and the cam 48 are rotated in the same direction. Thus, the lift slider 52 shown in FIG. 10 is lowered by its own weight to the position supported by the cam 48 together with the lid member 22 (down about several millimeters so that the processed product in the roasting container 2 does not flow out) and is in the state shown in FIG. It becomes. Further, when the outer cylinder 41 is continuously rotated in the same direction, the lid member 22 is swung to the opening position that is out of the lower region of the lower end opening of the container body 21 in synchronization with the swivel arm 46, and thereby the container body The processed material in 21 will be discharged | emitted outside.

尚、蓋部材22を開口位置から閉口位置に移動させる場合は、外筒41が上記とは逆向きに回動されるのであるが、固定リング43には旋回アーム46の旋回移動範囲を規定する図示せぬストッパが設けられており、蓋部材22が開口位置から容器本体21の下端開口部を臨む位置(図12に示される位置)まで移動すると、旋回アーム46の旋回動作が停止されたまま作動レバー47を通じてスリーブ46b及びカム48の回動が行なわれ、そのカム48により昇降スライダ52が押し上げられることにより蓋部材22が閉口位置まで上昇移動する。   When the lid member 22 is moved from the open position to the closed position, the outer cylinder 41 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above, but the fixed ring 43 defines the swivel movement range of the swivel arm 46. A stopper (not shown) is provided, and when the lid member 22 moves from the opening position to a position facing the lower end opening of the container body 21 (position shown in FIG. 12), the turning operation of the turning arm 46 remains stopped. The sleeve 46b and the cam 48 are rotated through the operating lever 47, and the lift slider 52 is pushed up by the cam 48, whereby the lid member 22 is moved up to the closing position.

ここに、容器本体21の直下には、前述のように容器本体21の下端開口部から落下した焙煎済みの処置物を収容する処理物受容器14が配置される。図13から明らかなように、処理物受容器14は把手14aをもつカップ形で、その底面部は金網などからなる通気性を有したメッシュプレート14bとされている。尚、メッシュプレート14bの網目は、空気の通過を許容して処理物を通さない大きさに設定されている。   Here, immediately below the container main body 21, the processed material receiver 14 that stores the roasted processed material dropped from the lower end opening of the container main body 21 as described above is disposed. As is apparent from FIG. 13, the processed material receiver 14 is a cup shape having a handle 14a, and the bottom surface thereof is a mesh plate 14b having a gas permeability made of a wire mesh or the like. The mesh of the mesh plate 14b is set to a size that allows the passage of air and does not allow the processed material to pass through.

又、図13から明らかなように、外気取込口10は処理物受容器14を嵌合可能な縁枠10aを有し、これにより処理物受容器14の位置決めが行なわれるようになっている。   As apparent from FIG. 13, the outside air inlet 10 has an edge frame 10 a into which the workpiece receiver 14 can be fitted, whereby the workpiece receptacle 14 is positioned. .

そして、上記のような処理物受容器14によれば、焙煎処理が終わった処理物を収容しながら、外気取込口10に吸込まれる外気により高温状態の処理物をすぐさま空冷し、空冷後の処理物を所定位置まで持ち運ぶことができる。   Then, according to the processed material receiver 14 as described above, the processed material in the high temperature state is immediately cooled by the outside air sucked into the outside air intake port 10 while accommodating the processed material after the roasting process, and air cooling is performed. A later processed product can be carried to a predetermined position.

因みに、焙煎直後の処理物は、脂成分を含む煙を発生するので、その煙を送風機8で直に吸込んでしまうと、送風機8の羽根に脂が付着して送風性能が早期に劣化してしまうため、外気取込口10と送風機8の吸込口とを繋ぐ吸気ダクトDSは、図14のように主流部DS1と、エアフィルタ12を介在させた副流部DS2とに分岐され、その主流部DS1と副流部DS2とに設けたバルブVa,Vb(流路切換手段)により、焙煎処理時において外気が主流部DS1から送風機8に吸込まれ、処理物の空冷時において外気が副流部DS2のエアフィルタ12を通じて送風機8に吸込まれるよう流路が切り換えられるようになっている。   Incidentally, since the processed product immediately after roasting generates smoke containing a fat component, if the smoke is directly sucked by the blower 8, the fat adheres to the blades of the blower 8 and the blowing performance deteriorates early. Therefore, the intake duct DS connecting the outside air intake port 10 and the intake port of the blower 8 is branched into a main flow portion DS1 and a subflow portion DS2 with an air filter 12 interposed as shown in FIG. By the valves Va and Vb (flow path switching means) provided in the main flow part DS1 and the sub flow part DS2, the outside air is sucked into the blower 8 from the main flow part DS1 during the roasting process, and the outside air is sub-charged during the air cooling of the processing object. The flow path is switched so as to be sucked into the blower 8 through the air filter 12 of the flow part DS2.

尚、吸気ダクトDSに流路切換手段として設けられるバルブVa,Vbは、バタフライ弁、仕切弁、ダイヤフラム弁などであるが、これらは本流部DS1と副流部DS2とに設けることに限らず、係る流路切換手段を方向切換弁として本流部DS1と副流部DS2との分岐部分に設けても良い。   The valves Va and Vb provided as flow path switching means in the intake duct DS are butterfly valves, gate valves, diaphragm valves, etc., but these are not limited to being provided in the main flow portion DS1 and the subflow portion DS2. Such a flow path switching means may be provided as a direction switching valve at a branch portion between the main flow portion DS1 and the subflow portion DS2.

次に、以上のように構成される本願装置の作用を図14により簡潔に説明すると、ホッパ5内には処理物として例えば定量のコーヒー生豆が入れられる。そのコーヒー生豆は、移送管5aを通じて焙煎容器2内に投入され、閉口位置にある蓋部材22上に溜まる。一方、送風機8からは給気チャンバ7内に外気が供給され、これが空気加熱器9により加熱されて熱風(150〜270℃)となり、その熱風がノズル6を通じて焙煎容器2内に噴射される。すると、焙煎容器2内のコーヒー生豆は、熱風により上下にうねって回流しながら均一加熱される。又、熱風は排気チャンバ4を通じて固気分離器15に送られ、コーヒー生豆から剥離したチャフ(渋皮)が集塵部15bに落下し、排気ダクトDE2からはチャフを取り除かれた熱風が排出される。   Next, the operation of the device of the present application configured as described above will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 14. In the hopper 5, for example, a certain amount of green coffee beans is put as a processed product. The green coffee beans are put into the roasting container 2 through the transfer pipe 5a and are accumulated on the lid member 22 in the closed position. On the other hand, outside air is supplied from the blower 8 into the air supply chamber 7, which is heated by the air heater 9 to become hot air (150 to 270 ° C.), and the hot air is injected into the roasting container 2 through the nozzle 6. . Then, the green coffee beans in the roasting container 2 are uniformly heated while being swirled up and down by hot air. Further, the hot air is sent to the solid-gas separator 15 through the exhaust chamber 4, the chaff peeled from the green coffee beans falls to the dust collecting part 15b, and the hot air from which the chaff has been removed is discharged from the exhaust duct DE2. The

尚、焙煎容器2内への熱風の噴射を開始してから10分程度経過すると、コーヒー生豆は茶褐色のコーヒー豆となり、これが蓋部材22の開放により処理物受容器14内に落下され、その処理物受容器14内において外気取込口10内に吸込まれる外気によって空冷される。   In addition, when about 10 minutes have passed since the injection of hot air into the roasting container 2, the green coffee beans become brown coffee beans, which are dropped into the processed product receiver 14 by opening the lid member 22, Air is cooled by the outside air sucked into the outside air inlet 10 in the processed product receiver 14.

以上、本発明について説明したが、係る熱風式焙煎装置は、コーヒー生豆に限らず、アーモンドやピーナッツなどの焙煎にも好適に用いることができる。   Although the present invention has been described above, the hot-air roasting apparatus can be suitably used not only for green coffee beans but also for roasting almonds and peanuts.

又、空気加熱器9は給気チャンバ7内に設けることに限らず、送風機8内に組み込むなどしてもよい。   The air heater 9 is not limited to being provided in the air supply chamber 7 but may be incorporated in the blower 8.
