The lifting device 34 includes a pedestal 34a having an inclined surface and a pedestal moving device 34b that horizontally moves the pedestal 34a. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, by moving the pedestal 34 a by the pedestal moving device 34 b from the state in which the lifting shaft leg 33 is arranged below the inclined surface of the pedestal 34 a, The shaft leg portion 33 can be moved to a state where it is arranged on the upper side of the inclined surface of the pedestal 34a. What is necessary is just to set the height of this base 34a according to the height which lifts the said container 4. FIG.

  The pedestal moving device 34b is not particularly limited as long as the pedestal 34a can be moved horizontally. For example, one or a plurality of cylinders as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 are used. Can raise the device.

  The lifting shaft 32 is supported by a cylindrical lifting shaft holding portion 36. The elevating shaft holding portion 36 has a lower end fixed to the body of the dehydrator, and holds the elevating shaft 32 through the seal member 35 inside the cylindrical portion. As a result, the elevating shaft 32 can freely move up and down and rotate while sliding the seal member 35.

  A rotary shaft portion 38 is rotatably provided on the outer periphery of the lift shaft holding portion 36 via a bearing 37. A flange 38a is provided at the upper end of the rotary shaft 38, and a connecting pin 39 attached to the container support board 31 is passed through a hole 38b provided therein. The rotation of the rotation shaft portion 38 can be transmitted to the container support board 31 from this pin.

  A belt 40 that transmits the rotation of the motor 41 is disposed on the rotary shaft 38. For this reason, the rotation of the motor 41 rotates the rotary shaft portion 38 via the belt 40.

  As described above, since the rotary shaft portion 38 and the motor 41 are connected by the belt 40, the rotary shaft portion 38 and the motor 41 can be juxtaposed, and only the height of the motor 41 corresponds to the present invention. It becomes possible to reduce the height of the dehydrator.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the moving device 2 is configured so that the container 4 has an opening 11 of the box 1 from the outside of the box 1, the opening 11 to the opening 12, and the opening 12 to the above It is a device that enables movement outside the box 1. Examples of such devices include conveyors such as belt conveyors, chain conveyors, slat conveyors, and net conveyors.

  The container support plate 31 and the lifting shaft 32 can be moved up and down the moving device 2 at a position where the container support plate 31 and the lifting shaft 32 move up and down. Has a space. The space portion allows the container support plate 31 and the lifting shaft 32 to move from the lower side to the upper side of the moving device 2 and from the upper side to the lower side of the moving device 2.

  The container 4 is for storing an object to be centrifugally dehydrated by being rotated by the dehydrator according to the present invention, and has an opening on the upper surface for storing the object to be dehydrated, and the moving device 2 and the up-and-down rotation It can be placed on the container support plate 31 of the section 3 and can pass through the openings 11 and 12.

Examples of such a container 4 include those in which the container 4 is configured by a plate-like body and punch holes are formed therein, and those in which the container 4 is configured by a net-like body.

  The material of the container 4 is not particularly limited, and may be made of a metal such as stainless steel or a resin such as polyolefin resin. However, the container 4 needs to be resistant to centrifugal dehydration.

  Examples of the dehydration target products include cut vegetables, individual vegetables, beans, cereals, fruits, meat such as chicken, pork, and beef, seafood such as shellfish, squid and fish, and fishery products other than the above-mentioned fish and shellfish such as kombu. Foods handled on an industrial scale.

  The lid member 5 includes a lid body 51 that covers the opening of the container 4, a lid support portion 52 that is coupled to the upper wall surface of the box 1, and the lid body 51 that is rotatably coupled to the lid support portion 52. It is comprised from the lid connection part 53 for this. The lid member 5 is provided at a position where the lid body 51 of the lid member 5 closes the opening of the container 4 when the container 4 is placed on the container support plate 31 of the lifting and rotating part 3 and is raised. An elastic body is disposed on the lid connecting portion 53. For this reason, when the container 4 is rotated, the container 4 and the lid body 51 may be separated depending on the movement of the container 4, but such movement is corrected by the elastic body, and the opening of the container 4 Can be kept closed by the lid body 51. Furthermore, even if the container 4 is raised a little too much, the contact pressure between the container 4 and the lid body 51 is adjusted by the elastic body, and damage to the container 4 and the lid member 5 can be prevented.

  In a state where the lid body 51 of the lid member 5 closes the opening of the container 4, the lid body 51 rotates together with the container 4 by the rotation of the lifting / lowering rotating unit 3. During the rotation, the lid connecting portion 53 has a rotatable member such as a bearing, and the lid main body 51 can be freely rotated with respect to the lid support portion 52.

  The size of the lid main body 51 is not necessarily limited to the size of the opening of the container 4 and is not particularly limited as long as the opening can be covered.

Next, the operation of the dehydrator according to the present invention will be described.
First, a dehydrated article containing water that has been washed or the like is placed in the container 4, and the container 4 is placed on the moving device 2. And it enters the inside of this box 1 from the opening part 11 of the said box 1, It moves to the predetermined position inside this box 1, ie, the position which can be mounted on the container support board 31 of the said raising / lowering rotation part 3. .

  Next, the pedestal 34a is moved horizontally by the pedestal moving device 34b of the lifting device 34, and the lifting shaft leg 33 is moved from the lower part to the upper part of the inclined surface of the pedestal 34a. As a result, the elevating shaft 32 is raised, and the container 4 is placed on the container support board 31 and the opening thereof is covered with the lid body 51, as shown in FIG.

  Next, the container 4 is rotated by the up-and-down rotation unit 3. At this time, the lid body 51 is freely rotatable by the lid connecting portion 53, and the lid body 51 also rotates together with the container 4. By this rotation, the dehydration target article in the container 4 is centrifugally dehydrated, and water contained in the dehydration target article is discharged to the outside.

  By the way, the rotation of the up-and-down rotation unit 3 is based on the following mechanism. First, by rotating the motor 41, the rotation is transmitted to the rotation shaft 38 via the belt 40, and the rotation shaft 38 is rotated. The rotary shaft portion 38 rotates on the outer periphery of the lift shaft holding portion 36 fixed by the bearing 37. By the rotation of the rotating shaft portion 38, the connecting pin 39 inserted into the hole 38b provided in the flange portion 38a at the upper end portion of the rotating shaft portion 38 rotates in the same manner. Then, the rotation is transmitted to the container support plate 31 to which the connection pin 39 is attached via the connection pin 39, and the container support plate 31 rotates.

  At this time, the elevating shaft 32 also rotates at the same time. However, since the elevating shaft leg portion 33 is rotatably attached to the elevating shaft 32, the elevating shaft leg portion 33 supports the rotation of the elevating shaft 32 and supports the base. 34a.

  After completion of the centrifugal dehydration, the pedestal 34a of the lifting device 34 is moved horizontally by the pedestal moving device 34b, and the lifting shaft leg 33 is moved from the upper part to the lower part of the slope of the pedestal 34a. As a result, the container 4 is released from the lid body 51 and returned to the original moving device 2. And it moves to the exterior of the box 1 from the opening part 12 with the moving apparatus 2, and is sent to the following process.

  By the way, the container 4 sent into the box 1 by the moving device 2 is stopped on the moving device 2 at a position where it can be placed on the container support plate 31 and stopped after centrifugal dehydration. It is preferable to have stop means that can be released. When such a stopping means is used, the container 4 can be easily set accurately at a position where the lid member 5 can be accurately attached, and the working efficiency is improved.

  The stopping means includes means for stopping the moving device 2 when the sensor detects that the container 4 has reached a predetermined position on the moving device 2, and restarting the operation of the moving device 2 after the centrifugal dehydration. A stopper stands so as to block the movement of the container 4 transferred by the moving device 2 at a predetermined position, and means for preventing the movement of the container 4 by rotating the stopper after the centrifugal dehydration. can give.

  When the stopping means uses the stopper, the moving part of the moving device 2 is such that the container 4 placed thereon can slide to the moving device 2 to some extent. preferable. Regardless of the movement of the moving part of the moving device 2, when the stopper interrupts and stops the transfer of the container 4, the container 4 slides on the moving part of the moving device 2 continuously operating, thereby moving the moving device 2. This is because it is not necessary to apply a force to forcefully stop the movement of the moving part. For example, when a conveyor is used as the moving part of the moving device 2, neither the container 4 nor the conveyor is made of rubber, and if the contact part is made of resin or metal that is slippery, the container 4 is placed on the conveyor. Can slide. Even when a stopper is used, it is more preferable that the container 4 is less likely to shake when the moving device 2 is stopped by detecting that the container 4 has reached a predetermined position by a sensor such as an infrared sensor. In particular, when the lid body 51 is attached, it is preferable that the moving device 2 is stopped and the container 4 is not shaken because it is easy to attach.

  Next, as the moving device 2, a conveyor 25 having fixing members 21 on both sides, a rotating shaft 22 having a sprocket 23 between the fixing members 21, and a transfer chain 24 provided on the sprocket 23 is used. In this case, a specific structural example in the case where a stopper is used as the stopping means will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the stop means includes a positioning rod 72 that is a stopper for stopping the movement of the container 4, a crankshaft 71 to which the positioning rod 72 is attached, and the crankshaft 71. Consists of a controller that controls rotation.

  First, between the fixing members 21 on both sides of the conveyor 25, a crankshaft 71 that is rotatable so as to be in a horizontal direction with the rotary shaft 22 is disposed. The positioning rod 72 is attached to the crankshaft 71 so that the axial direction of the positioning rod 72 and the direction of the crankshaft 71 are different. For this reason, by rotating about the axis of the crankshaft 71, the positioning rod 72 can be rotated at a position where the tip thereof is separated from the crankshaft 71. The positioning rod 72 protrudes upward from a plane (hereinafter referred to as “conveyor surface”) formed on the upper surface of the transfer chain 24 in order to stop the container 4 at a predetermined position. It is fixed by the control unit.

  Next, after the centrifugal dehydration, the positioning rod 72 is rotated downward from the conveyor surface. When the container 4 passes over the positioning rod 72, the control unit projects the positioning rod 72 upward and fixes it.

  An example of the mechanism of this control unit is as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, a crank 73 that is interlocked with the rotation of the crankshaft 71 is attached to the end of the crankshaft 71 on the one fixed member 21 side, and a cylinder 74 is attached to the crank 73. The cylinder 74 is attached to the fixing member 21.

  When the cylinder 74 is reciprocated, it is converted into a rotational motion by the crank 73 and the crankshaft 71 rotates. Thereby, the positioning rod 72 is rotated. Then, by controlling the movement of the cylinder 74, the positioning rod 72 is fixed in a state of protruding upward from the conveyor surface, or the positioning rod 72 is rotated downward from the conveyor surface. Can do.

  The container 4 is confirmed to have arrived at the predetermined position by a sensor such as an infrared sensor, and then the transfer chain 24 is moved for several seconds. Then, the container 4 comes into close contact with the positioning rod 72. Thus, the container 4 does not have to be shaken when the cover member 5 covers the upper surface of the container 4.

  When the centrifugal dehydration is completed, the positioning rod 72 is rotated downward from the conveyor surface by the cylinder 74. Thereby, the said container 4 comes out outside from the opening part 12 of the said box 1, and is sent to the following process.

  After the container 4 comes out from the opening 12 of the box 1, the next container 4 is sent into the box 1 from the opening 11 of the box 1. The container 4 that has been fed next can be fastened by causing the positioning rod 72 to protrude above the conveyor surface by 74 and fixing it so as not to fall down due to the collision of the containers 4.

  Before and after the dehydrator according to the present invention, if necessary, a moving device 26 such as a conveyor is provided in front of the moving device 2, or a moving device such as a conveyor is provided after the moving device 2 as shown in FIG. (Not shown) may be provided. The container 4 can be smoothly centrifuged and dehydrated via these moving devices and sent to the next step.

  However, since the container 4 does not pass through, but sequentially performs centrifugal dehydration, the mechanism is configured to send a new container 4 into the box 1 of the dehydrator only when the dehydrator does not have the container 4. Preferably there is. As this mechanism, for example, a sensor is provided, and when this sensor detects the arrival of the next container 4, if the previous container 4 is in the box 1, the moving device is stopped or a stopper is set up. For example, the next container 4 is prevented from moving into the box 1. Here, whether or not the container 4 is mounted on the dehydrator is determined by, for example, providing an infrared sensor in the vicinity of the openings 11 and 12 to monitor the entrance / exit of the container 4 or a weight sensor on the transfer chain 24. And a method of detecting by providing a. If the container 4 is not in the box 1, the next container 4 is transferred into the box 1 and centrifugal dehydration is performed.

  With the dehydrator according to the present invention, the container 4 containing the articles to be dehydrated does not need to be manually placed in the dehydrator, and only needs to be placed on the moving device 2 of the dehydrator. Moreover, since the lid body 51 is automatically attached to the container 4, it is not necessary to manually cover the lid.
