  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lightweight and miniaturized shochu making apparatus capable of producing a delicious shochu with no unevenness.

It is sectional drawing which shows the shochu liquor manufacturing apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention. The plate-like carbon fired body of the shochu liquor manufacturing apparatus same as the above is shown, (a) is a plan view and (b) is a bottom view.

  Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the shochu manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a shochu manufacturing container 2, an electric heater 3, a plate-like carbon fired body 4, and a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5.

  The sweet potato production container 2 is filled with sweet potatoes. It is preferable that at least the side wall 2a of the shochu making container 2 is excellent in heat insulation. Thereby, it becomes easy to stabilize the temperature in the shochu manufacturing container 2. For example, a fired body of a mixture of diatomaceous earth and clay can be used. This fired body is excellent in heat insulation and moldability and is lightweight. In addition, although it is disadvantageous at the point of a moldability and weight reduction compared with this baking body, it is also possible to make it the structure which has a heat insulating material between an interior material and an exterior material.

  It is preferable to provide the shochu-heated container 2 </ b> A in the shochu-making container 2, which also serves as a lid. The shochu liquor heat-retaining container 2 </ b> A is for keeping the temperature by introducing the shochu produced in the shochu-making container 2. As the shochu-heated container 2 </ b> A, as in the shochu-making container 2, it is possible to use an excellent heat insulating material such as a fired body of a mixture of diatomaceous earth and clay. In addition, by making the thermal conductivity of at least the bottom of the shochu liquor heat insulation container 2A to a certain degree, it is possible to keep the shochu liquor in the shochu liquor heat insulation container 2A warm by the heat in the shochu liquor production container 2. In addition, the code | symbol 2Aa in a figure has shown the cover body of the shochu liquor heat insulation container 2A.

  The electric heater 3 is disposed in the lower part of the shochu manufacturing container 2. A sheathed heater can be used as the electric heater 3. The heating element 3a of the electric heater 3 can have a meandering or spiral shape so that a wide area faces the plate-like carbon fired body 4. In FIG. 1, a plurality of heaters 3 are arranged in parallel.

The plate-like carbon fired body 4 has a crystal structure. The plate-like carbon fired body 4 is formed with a dense and dense carbon crystal structure by firing, and is formed integrally as a whole. The crystal structure can be made substantially isotropic with no bias in the overall direction. The plate-like carbon fired body 4 can be manufactured as follows. That is, about 5% by weight of a binder is added to graphite or carbide (such as bamboo charcoal) carbon powder to be solidified, and then isotropically pressed with water pressure or the like to form a predetermined lump (for example, a rectangular shape). And it heats in the state which oxygen deficient, and baks over about 2500 to 3500 degreeC over a long time. In this state, the raw material carbon powders are bonded to each other, and the carbon is crystallized (graphitized and shaped carbonized). The binder is volatilized at about 1000 to 1200 ° C. during the temperature increase. Thereafter, the heating is stopped, the temperature is lowered, and the plate-like carbon fired body 4 is processed (divided or molded). In the thus obtained plate-like carbon fired body 4, since the binder is volatilized, almost 100% (99% or more) is a carbon material. The bulk density (bulk specific gravity) can be 1.77 Mg / m ³ or more.

Since the plate-like carbon fired body 4 is a carbon material, it is lightweight, and has a high physical strength because the whole is bonded by a crystal structure. The plate-like carbon fired body 4 has a high thermal diffusivity and a high thermal conductivity. For example, a thermal diffusivity of about 100 × 10 ⁻⁶ (m ² / s) and a thermal conductivity of about 140 (W / (m · K)) are possible. Moreover, since the plate-like carbon fired body 4 is a carbon material, the amount of far-infrared radiation to be radiated is larger and the temperature is higher.

  The surface of the plate-like carbon fired body 4 is coated with a heat-resistant coating such as a ceramic coating so as to prevent fine abrasion and to withstand the heat of the electric heater 3.

  The plate-like carbon fired body 4 is disposed above the electric heater 3. Since the plate-like carbon fired body 4 has a high thermal diffusivity as described above, it absorbs heat from the electric heater 3 well. Further, heat is evenly diffused from the lower surface to the upper surface of the plate-like carbon fired body 4. The plate-like carbon fired body 4 gives heat to the air above the plate-like carbon fired body 4 and a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 arranged above the plate-like carbon fired body 4 as described later.

  The plate-like carbon fired body 4 preferably has a large number of recesses 4a (for example, a groove shape or a dimple shape as shown in FIG. 2B) formed on the lower surface. Thereby, the surface area of the lower surface of the plate-like carbon fired body 4 can be increased, and the heat from the electric heater 3 can be efficiently absorbed using the high thermal diffusivity of the plate-like carbon fired body 4.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the plate-like carbon fired body 4 can form a large number of through-holes 4b having such a size that the granular carbon fired body 5 does not fall. As a result, heat can be directly applied from the electric heater 3 to a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 disposed above the plate-like carbon fired bodies 4.

  The granular carbon fired body 5 has the same crystal structure as that of the plate-like carbon fired body 4. The granular carbon fired body 5 can be manufactured in the same manner as the plate-like carbon fired body 4, and has similar characteristics. However, a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 can have various shapes and sizes, and the remaining ones after being processed into the plate-like carbon fired bodies 4 and others can be used. A large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 are arranged above the plate-like carbon fired bodies 4.

  Using the shochu liquor manufacturing apparatus 1 described above, a shochu can be produced as follows. That is, the user arranges a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 above the plate-like carbon fired bodies 4, and puts the sweet potatoes into the shochu manufacturing container 2. Then, the sweet potato is covered with a large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 and buried in the large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5. When the electric heater 3 is energized, the temperature of the air above the plate-like carbon fired body 4, the large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5, and the plate-like carbon fired body 4 rises.

  The sweet potato is heated through many portions in contact with the large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 and is heated by the radiant heat from the plate-like carbon fired bodies 4 and the large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5. Since the radiant heat contains a large amount of far infrared rays, the inside of the sweet potato is well heated. Thereby, similarly to the above-mentioned typical shochu making apparatus, a delicious shochu with no unevenness can be produced. Moreover, since the plate-like carbon fired body 4 and the large number of granular carbon fired bodies 5 are lightweight, the shochu liquor manufacturing apparatus 1 as a whole can be lightweight and downsized.

  Although the shochu manufacturing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the one described in the embodiment, and the design can be changed within the scope of the matters described in the claims. It is.
