Description

The present invention relates to a seaweed making machine that dehydrates the seaweed dough by pressing a sponge-like water absorbing pad provided in the dehydrating device against the seaweed dough made into the seaweed bowl by the papermaking device.

The dried seaweed provided on the table is produced by making a rectangular plate-shaped nori dough in which the cultivated raw seaweed is turbid in water using a seaweed making machine and drying it.

In this seaweed making machine, since the seaweed dough produced contains a large amount of water, the seaweed dough is dehydrated by a dehydrator after being made into a predetermined shape on the upper surface of the nori seaweed. Then, it is dried in a drying device.

Then, in the dehydrator, a sponge-like water-absorbing pad is placed on a support that can be raised and lowered, and the water-absorbing pad is pressed against the seaweed cloth made into a seaweed bowl, so that the water-absorbing pad contains water contained in the seaweed cloth. Is sucked to dehydrate the seaweed dough (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in the above-mentioned conventional seaweed making machine, the sucked water may not be immediately discharged from the support by pressing the water absorption pad against the seaweed cloth, but may remain between the water absorption pad and the support.

Then, when the water absorption pad in the compressed state is subsequently restored by pressing the water absorption pad against the seaweed cloth, the water remaining between the water absorption pad and the support is sucked again by the water absorption pad.

Therefore, the water absorption pad is always in a state of containing water, which may reduce the dehydration power and may deteriorate the hygiene condition.

Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, a nori making device and a dehydrating device are provided in the transport path of the nori seaweed, and a sponge-like sponge-like material provided in the dehydrating device on the nori dough made into the nori seaweed by the making device. In a seaweed making machine that presses the water absorption pad to dehydrate the seaweed dough, a groove that connects the suction mechanism to the support that supports the water absorption pad and forms a gap between the upper part of the support and the lower surface of the water absorption pad. Was provided, and the groove was made to communicate with the suction mechanism.

Further, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, a water absorption pad is detachably and hermetically provided in the upper opening of the support in a hermetically sealed manner.

Further, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 1 or 2, the groove is formed in the transport direction of the seaweed sill, and the suction port of the suction mechanism is in the transport direction of the seaweed slag. I decided to form it on the side.

Then, in the present invention, the effects described below are obtained.

That is, in the present invention, a making device and a dehydrator are provided in the transport path of the seaweed, and the sponge-like water absorption pad provided in the dehydrator is pressed against the seaweed dough made into the seaweed by the making device. In a seaweed making machine that dehydrates seaweed dough, a suction mechanism is connected to a support that supports the water absorption pad, and a groove is provided at the top of the support to form a gap with the lower surface of the water absorption pad. Since it is decided to communicate with the suction mechanism, the water sucked by the water absorption pad is sucked into the suction mechanism through the groove, and it is possible to prevent the water from remaining between the water absorption pad and the support. The water absorption capacity (dehydration power) of the water absorption pad can be improved, and the sanitary condition of the water absorption pad can be improved.

In particular, when the water absorption pad is detachably and hermetically provided in the upper opening of the support, the water absorption pad can be satisfactorily sucked by the suction mechanism by sealing the water absorption pad and the support. In addition to being able to further improve, the water absorption pad can be easily cleaned by attaching and detaching the water absorption pad, and the sanitary state of the suction pad can be further improved.

In addition, if the groove is formed in the transport direction of the seaweed tray and the suction port of the suction mechanism is formed on the transport direction side of the seaweed tray, the space formed in the transport direction of the seaweed tray is effectively used. It can be utilized and the dehydration device can be made compact.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the seaweed making machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the seaweed making machine 1 intermittently conveys a seaweed frame 3 (see FIG. 3) in which a plurality of seaweed trays 2 are arranged side by side in the left-right width direction and detachably attached to each other by a predetermined distance. A transport path 4 is formed, and a drafting device 5, a dehydration device 6, a drying device 7, and a peeling device 8 are arranged in this order in the transport path 4. The transport path 4 is composed of a first transport device 9 and a second transport device 10. In the seaweed making machine 1, the driving device 11 is interlocked with the making device 5, the dehydrating device 6, the drying device 7, the peeling device 8, and the first and second transport devices 9 and 10, and the devices are interlocked with each other. It is configured to work.

Then, the seaweed making machine 1 transports the nori frame 3 (nori nori 2) along the conveying path 4, and the nori making device 5 puts a nori dough composed of raw seaweed and water on the upper surface of each nori nori 2. The seaweed dough is dehydrated in a predetermined shape (for example, a square), and then the seaweed dough is dehydrated by the dehydrating device 6, and the seaweed frame 3 is delivered from the first transporting device 9 to the second transporting device 10. After that, the nori dough is forcibly dried by the drying device 7 to obtain dried seaweed, and the nori frame 3 is received again from the second transport device 10 to the first transport device 9. Then, the peeling device 8 peels the dried seaweed from each seaweed bowl 2, and then the dried seaweed is transported to the papermaking device 5 again. As a result, the seaweed producing machine 1 can continuously produce dried seaweed from the seaweed dough, and can simultaneously produce a plurality of dried seaweeds.

Here, the seaweed producing machine 1 according to the present invention has the most characteristic feature in the configuration of the dehydrating device 6 for dehydrating the seaweed dough.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the dehydrator 6 is provided with the upper water absorption mechanism 12 arranged side by side above the seaweed basin 2 transported by the first transport device 9, while the lower side is below the seaweed basin 2. The water absorption mechanisms 13 are provided side by side in the front-rear direction, and the seaweed dough is sandwiched together with the seaweed sill 2 by the water absorption mechanisms 12 and 13 on the upper and lower sides to dehydrate the seaweed dough.

The upper water absorption mechanism 12 has a plurality of rectangular plate-shaped supports 15 on the lower surface of the elevating body 14 extended in the left-right width direction to be elevated and driven in conjunction with the first transport device 9 and other devices. The seaweed sill 2 attached to the sill frame 3 is attached side by side at a predetermined position corresponding to each seaweed sill 2, and a water absorption pad 16 is detachably attached to the lower part of each support 15 with a holding piece 17.

The water absorption pad 16 has a rectangular plate-shaped sponge-like water absorbing body 19 detachably attached to the lower part of the frame of the rectangular frame plate-shaped holding body 18, and the water absorbing body 19 is covered with a sponge-like water-permeable water absorbing sheet 20. doing. The water absorbing sheet 20 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the holding body 18 with a hook-and-loop fastener 21.

The lower water absorption mechanism 13 is a support extended in the left-right width direction on the upper surface of the elevating body 22 extended in the left-right width direction, which is driven up and down in conjunction with the first transport device 9 and other devices. Body 23 is attached.

On the upper side of the support 23, rectangular frame-shaped peripheral walls 24 are formed side by side at predetermined positions corresponding to the seaweed sill 2 attached to the sill frame 3, while the seaweed sill is formed on the lower side of the support 23. The suction port 25 is located at a predetermined position on the transport direction side of 2 (in the lower water absorption mechanism 13 on the front side, the rear side in the transport direction of the seaweed sill 2, and in the lower water absorption mechanism 13 on the rear side, the front side in the transport direction of the seaweed sill 2). It is formed. The suction port 25 is connected to the suction mechanism 26.

The support 23 detachably accommodates a rectangular plate-shaped sponge-shaped water absorbing pad 28 inside each peripheral wall 24 via a rectangular plate-shaped mounting table 27. As a result, the water absorption pad 28 is detachably and hermetically provided in the upper opening of the support 23 surrounded by the peripheral wall 24.

Each mounting table 27 is one size smaller than the peripheral wall 24, and has a water absorption pad 28 mounted on the upper surface, and has a plurality of grooves 29 on the upper surface for forming a gap with the lower surface of the water absorption pad 28. Along with the formation, a plurality of grooves 30 for forming a gap with the upper surface of the support 23 are formed on the lower surface. The grooves 29 and 30 are formed along the transport direction of the seaweed sill 2 from the front end to the rear end of the mounting table 27. As a result, the grooves 29 and 30 are communicated with the suction mechanism 26 via the suction port 25. Here, the mounting table 27 having the groove 29 formed on the upper part of the support 23 is attached to indirectly form the groove 29 on the support 23, but the groove 29 is directly formed on the upper surface of the support 23. It may be formed.

The dehydrator 6 lowers the elevating body 14 of the upper water absorption mechanism 12 and raises the elevating body 22 of the lower water absorption mechanism 13 while sucking with the suction mechanism 26, and uses the upper and lower water absorption pads 16 and 28 to squeeze the seaweed dough. The seaweed dough is dehydrated by sandwiching it together with the sill 2, and then the elevating body 14 of the upper water absorption mechanism 12 is raised and the elevating body 22 of the lower water absorption mechanism 13 is lowered. After that, the first transport device 9 transports the seaweed bowl 2 by a predetermined distance, and then the next dehydration is performed.

At the time of dehydration, water is sucked by the lower water absorption pad 28 and discharged to the suction port 25 through the groove 29. Therefore, when the lower water absorption pad 28 descends and restores from the compressed state after dehydration, water flows into the groove 29, and it is possible to prevent the water absorption pad 28 from sucking the water.

As described above, in the seaweed making machine 1, the suction mechanism 26 is connected to the support 23 that supports the water absorption pad 28, and a gap is formed in the upper part of the support 23 with the lower surface of the water absorption pad 28. A groove 29 is provided so that the groove 29 is communicated with the suction mechanism 26.

Therefore, in the seaweed making machine 1 having the above configuration, the water sucked by the water absorption pad 28 is sucked into the suction mechanism 26 through the groove 29, and the water is suppressed from remaining between the water absorption pad 28 and the support 23. Therefore, the water absorption capacity (dehydration power) of the water absorption pad 28 can be improved, and the sanitary condition of the water absorption pad 28 can be improved.

Further, the seaweed making machine 1 has a structure in which a water absorption pad 28 is detachably provided in an upper opening of a support 23 in a hermetically sealed manner.

Therefore, in the seaweed making machine 1 having the above configuration, the water absorption pad 28 and the support 23 are hermetically sealed so that the suction mechanism 26 can satisfactorily suck the water, and the water absorption capacity of the water absorption pad 28 can be further improved. By attaching and detaching the water absorption pad 28, the water absorption pad 28 can be easily cleaned, and the sanitary condition of the water absorption pad 28 can be further improved.
